[Captivate Android Development] :
My main concern is, do you ever update the kernel? If you did, that would be a reason to not use the upgrade package since you'd miss out on those kernel changes.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
If you want to change the kernel to Speedmod you can do it yourself or just wipe and flash the FF 2.8 full ROM. If you're happy with the kernel you have now, don't worry about it. I'm sticking with Onix myself, as I have had a good experience with it thus far. If you're having problems, then change the kernel. It's up to you.

Edit: @jde984 ;)
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
The idea is that since there are so many kernels available and everyone seems to like a different one, the update packages don't touch your kernel of choice. This does mean if you use the update package that you will have to follow the thread for the kernel you are using to look for the latest updates (if you want them).

If you've never updated a kernel before, it is the exact same process as flashing a rom.

Edit: Seriously? twice in a row. You're lucky there's not a "no thanks" button... lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
eXistZ,

So far so good! Seems smoother and more polished for sure. I'm still using Onix but I can tell a difference anyway. I don't notice much in the way of UI changes, even though I flashed the new GB battery mod (nice, BTW!). Could this be because I'm using ADW EX? Anyhow, nice work as always and much appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
You can always flash those kernel over by yourself. Ain't anything special to do. You just download the CWM version of the kernel you want, reboot recovery and flash away like any other CWM package. I just updated my K13A kernel to K13D today and it was a breeze. I had no issue on the last one and battery life was good.

EDIT: Tardy tardy tardy lol
[Captivate Android Development] :
Thanks Johnny (and jde984 lol). So, Since I did a full ROM flash for FF 2.7, I guess that means I am using the Onix kernel. So what I need to do is flash FF 2.8 upgrade package and then the latest Onix kernel package? Does this mean my phone settings/apps get wiped back to stock/default?

EDIT: Latest Onix kernel is 2.0.4, and I'm using 2.0.1 currently. Is it fine to use 2.0.4?
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
that sounds just about right. thats exactly the way i did it..minus Step 8 .. :P load FF.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
don't boot to recovery via rom manager.

boot to recovery via the power options menu RECOVERY. should be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] evrionis:
U are right, copy and paste error, it should say go to the firefly zip file.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Follow Zel's general instructions listed in post #4 in the Phoenix thread.

Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
These functions are found after booting into Recovery mode in the Lagfix Tweaks option.
[Captivate Android Development] ironmanapa:
Lol. I was getting back on here to let you know I got it to work and you already figured it out. Thats tge same steps I used except I used sgs kernel flasher to install the kernel. Thanks for the files.
[Captivate Android Development] ardyer:
Has anyone had a chance to try the audio out through micro-usb on the desk home dock? It doesn't work with Phoenix, but from some discussion here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10650614#post10650614) it sounds like it might on Rogers based ROMs. I'll switch over to FF in a heartbeat if it does work.

Convert data with backup and restore?
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
Recovery, ULK and rooting fixed the issue!

Thanks so much!!! B-)
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
what you trying to do?
[Captivate Android Development] Thanontos:
Converting data is supposed to help with lag issue as it can pull information faster than if it was rfs is what I understand from it. Lagfix does the same to convert data but with speed mod kernel it just calls it what it is.

As for the battery tweak I have to say im not seeing an improvement unless it is modem related. Im at work and have dropped 12 percent in 2 hours while in standby mode in my pocket. I work in an att low signal zone so ill have to look into that too. The telus jl3 modem set to 850 worked good on my phone which is a 1007.

Both are optional and id recommend doing at least the data to ext4
[Captivate Android Development] DeMarzo:
Great work here, Flashed to 1.5 yesterday. So far very fast.

I'm running this ROM w/ the FB 2.03 no BLN Kernel

Charged up to 100% before I flash and with light usage I'm still @ 67% almost 24 hours later!

Only thing I've noticed about this is the Notification slide, The text (For me @ least) is black on black pretty much with the transparent slide. WHICH I LOVE! Any way to change my font to white? or gray?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] b0wz:
In phoenix, i tried a new theme (cosmic), it broke my VM notification, then tried ginger mix, that fixed it, then was able to flash back to cosmic and keep the VM notification working, anyone have luck with that yet?
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
And a little bit later tonight purple rain will be of fireFly. For all the lady's out there or anyone really I rocked it for a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Only way to change the font is to edit the xml. I will get it done eventually. In the meantime most of the themes on the phoenix-hq website work with FF. I am using the VA_v11_phoenix theme. It is sick on FF!
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Yes, I can boot to recovery via the Power Menu. Thx.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That is bc the ginger remix is packaged with the correct phone.apk to fix the vm issue some are experiencing.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
I found a fix that works:

Cool, will try and find the correct phone.apk file and drop it in, if that works....like to try and keep the theme going, really like it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
If you do it that way, no, all your settings/apps will stay put.

Just to clear it up:

- Flash 2.7-2.8 update package (no wipe)

- Then flash latest Onix or any other kernel you wish to try.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Yes, flash the 2.7-2.8 update package and then the 2.0.4 kernel. It won't touch your settings or apps.

Edit: I quit
[Captivate Android Development] :
LOL... sorry, it's so funny! Thanks for your help though!! You at least captured and answered my last edit... the first guy didn't :P
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Did you mean for that to be to xtreme?

BTW--

I like the little tweak on your new 2.7 dialer, x. I can see it was a minor tweak, but I like it much better. I'm not flashing over it this time.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
HAHAHA!!

Please stay, I definitely need your help, answering questions.

I am off to grab some lunch, what can I get for 3 dollars?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:

[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
tried flashing 2.8 over continuum 4.0, and i keep getting the line "error reading: line 13" then it stops. every time i reboot, i go back to the recovery screen. anyone care to help me? i go to work in about an hour and i don't want to be stuck without a phone.

I would download the full zip again and put it on the phone in d/l mode.
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:

OK wtf... my OS is reset back to default.

I flashed the 2.7-2.8 upgrade package. Everything went fine on reboot.

I then used ROM Manager to flash Onix 2.0.4. I set it to wipe Data & Cache (you guys said to wipe cache, right?). When I rebooted after it flashed, everything is erased.

What happened?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
It's because you wiped data...
[Captivate Android Development] :

That's a possibility I guess. But my widgets are pretty standard. Facebook, Twitter, Fancy Widgets, The Weather Network, YouTube, and the MIUI music widget. That's it.

How can fries and frosty fill up an awesome man like you?

[Captivate Android Development] ctleng76:
I installed the update to 2.8 and now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. Any advice?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
It does, just making fun of it...lol

That has to do for now, don't have more than three dollars to spend on lunch these days.

I had to go to the physical therapist to check out my shoulder (turns out, I have a rotator cuff tear) and that one visit cost me 450 dollars (no insurance, since I am unemployed).

Ever since that, I have just cut back on all my expenses as I dont have much in savings (only 23 here).

Anyway, those fries are delicious.:D

Well you could try a reflash but me, I would flash stock master clear and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:

[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
sounds like your backup was saved to sdcard and not to your external micro sd and the wipe data wiped it out.

Damn slow internets! download faster! Eta 27 mins :/
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
That one was my bad, I accidentally left an old script that I was using for testing in there.

Your back up is fine, the script only deleted the app. Visit the market and get it again, sorry for the hassle.

It is fixed now. Everybody, updating this point onward are good to go.

Hi guys,

Can someone post a pic from the default dialer. Attach is mine. I installed the april fool and i think it change the 2.7 dialer so i just updated to 2.8 and i still have the same dialer.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I actually updated the dialer in the april fools joke (because I can't just give you nothing ;))

The one in April fools joke and this current update are the same.

So you are good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
It's the same has 2.8 Fool. Just the borders are colored.

EDIT: Playing catch-up all day :rolleyes: lol
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
np, not a biggy.

any luck on updating the 'inner' dialer on the call recording app, x? :)
[Captivate Android Development] Jdelgado:
Thanks Xtre.
[Captivate Android Development] ctleng76:
That is exactly what I had to do. Now I am up and running. In case it matters here is what I had previously:

FireFly 2.7

Onix 2.0.3 (100MHz)

JK4 Modem

Stock Theme

Touchwiz Launcher (installed from SGS tools)
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I will give it a shot, but I think Zel is the master at that.

Any particular way you want that themed?
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
nothing in particular. i just would like the letters on the dialer.

currently, the 'inner' dialer only has numbers, so it can cause problems sometimes when calling automated calling services.
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
I just noticed that the latest 2 versions of the dialer (the one from 2.7 and the one from 2.8) aren't in the FireFly app. Think you could put those up?
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:

[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Save yourself the worry and grab the app from the market. This way you dont have to worry about it, unless like my I cant get it to stick for the life of me on a reboot.

My buddy did a wipe out when he installed his 2.8 update and his kernel got changed to speed mod. I just did the 2.7 to 2.8 update and my kernel is still onix. What's better? And why did my update not install that kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
+1 Just did the update through clockwork mod and am still on the onix kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
So I flashed 2.6 and ran for a few days but then decided to go back to continuum4. But now this,I had to flash. Im testing now and maybe it will be my new rom lol. Wish I had 2 captivates so I could run both. Btw,I know you use speedmod kernal but onix runs really smooth with this rom. Anyways,one question. Is there a way to get stock notifications bar? Im really hung up on it. Not 100% stock,I like the numbers in the battery but other than that I like the stock notifications bar so could someone point me in the rite direction to get that? Thanks ahead of time. Loving the rom so far

Think I can flash speedmod over onix without disabling lagfix? I flashed 2.8 over 2.7 without going back to stock theme.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Shouldn't be a problem. Onix is based on Speedmod so the lagfix is the same.
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Im runnin onix and when I applied lagfix it didn't go through the normal process. It just enabled and rebooted. I can tell its working though
[Captivate Android Development] vdubguy:
Updates do not include the kernel. You have to flash that on your own. Full flash includes the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Yep...worked fine. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
Love the UI changes, especially the bar at the top!
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
I'm still on the onix kernel because I just updated. Is the speed mod kernel better? I'll flash it if its better.

Some find speed mod more stable, onix is built from speed mod but it is oc/uv capable.

I use onix oc 1200 , fast....

Is anyone else having cellular reception issues? My reception keeps going to no bars and instead of saying "AT&T" on the lock screen it says "Emergency Calls Only". I'm relatively sure this is a local network problem, but all the AT&T customer service rep says is there's "no reported outage" and I should take my phone into a authorized AT&T store for diagnosis or repair. Which is typical run around by the Death Star. I just want to make sure it's not ROM related and nobody else is having this problem.

[Captivate Android Development] Ptaaty:
I really like this ROM. Long time Cognition user, with a month on CM7.

The theming is great, FF tools and update capability, speed, all excellent. Also Onix with OC/UV is giving me great speed, easy 30% OC with improved battery life.

I have had the dreaded charge death for the first time, so I may have to swap in the speedmod kernel (that now comes with the full 2.8), but I might just live with it until it is fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i don't even see the green bar?

I think you forgot some files in the update version. There is no framework folder in the zip file.

Sent from my captivate running the latest firefly
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
No no, I did that on purpose.

If someone is running a theme and happens to flash an update that contains the framework, they will be stuck in bootloop, or just get a weird looking phone.

That is why, if you are upgrading and want the latest UI changes, then you must flash your favorite battery mod.

(All the battery mods are only compatible with Stock FF theme.)
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Let me know how you like it I'm getting the samsung droid charge when it comes out but I'm not sure yet!
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
How do we get the framework changes that you made then? By flashing the full ROM?

At least now I can use a custom theme without going into a boot loop... Right?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I'm glad you asked, because I didn't see them, either.

So I re-flashed my circle battery mod, as x suggested (well, any batt mod will do it), and WOW!

It's like firefly pro or something. I'm truly at a loss...

This rom just got drafted into the graphical big league.

I LOVE it! ALL the changes are incredible- you even modded the text pointer to theme!

I like the whiter bluetooth icon, too.

Is there anything you didn't mod to theme?

Home run, x.

No... More like grand slam!
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
kernel change

why the change from onix to speedmod?
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Loving this ROM! Love the FF update app too.

FF 2.8 + Speedmod + LCD Density at 190 etc.
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
So by just applying the update, what features am I missing from the 2.8 full flash?
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
The Difference

Your missing the updated kernel. It doesnt update your kernel and hes gone from onix to speedmod.
[Captivate Android Development] weedolo9y:
ok i have something strange going on was trying to upgrade 2.7 to 2.8 using cwm and after 2.8 installs it sits at the galaxy s sgh-i897 screen and vibrates over and over
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
There are many FF users who use this ROM as a daily driver. I want to provide stability first (Not saying is not stable, but Speedmod has been proven to work for most)

I have flashed the latest Onix and I am sure many will too, but as a base, I think Speedmod will suffice.

You are only missing a few UI changes, which won't matter if you are running a theme.

If you are on stock FF theme, then just grab the battery mod of your choice (from the app or post #2) and apply to get those UI changes.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I did a clean flash of 2.8, and then applied the blue theme, and then applied the call recording. And now am getting a FC followed by a phone reboot every time I end a call. Any clues?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I got that, too, after installing a dialer mod and call recording. I got rid of the call recording and everything works right again.

Maybe you have to have the ff default dialer for call recording to work right?

I never used it before, so I don't care about it, but I'm using the default dialer now, so perhaps I could if I wanted, I don't know.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
What if we want to use a custom battery mod from the app and a custom theme? I haven't used the custom themes such as Dark Fire Blue in a while, but if I remember correctly, these custom themes don't change the battery icon.

Try removing call recording. It could be that it doesn't work with Dark Fire Blue.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I re-flashed it, and this time applied

only

call recording, and no theme. And it works flawlessly.

Looks like the theme has something that is breaking it. Actually I got FCs on swype too after I flashed the theme.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
This is getting really troubling. My wireless keeps dropping to nil and saying "Emergency Calls Only" and then it will go back up to full bars. Up and down; down and up. It's been happening ever since I updated to 2.8. Any ideas? Could the update have even caused this?
