KJ3 is a pretty solid GB base ROM. I do not like the i9000 ROMs right now. They seem unstable.

Firefly is the king of Froyo ROM's that is for sure. Uptimes of over a week easily with no reason to reboot!
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Mosaic is actually very stable.

Altough, FireFly is indeed one of the best if not the best froyo rom.

As for I897 gb builds, they're indeed pretty solid but I still like the I9000 better :p
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
Thanks for explaining :)
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I found Mosaic to be very unstable for me.... The latest one that is. Previous ones were very good, but the latest one just gave me tons of problems. Clean flashed multiple times too. Apex is one of the more stable ones here in the Captivate Development. However, I9000 Android Development has lots of stable ones as well, with my favourite being Amestris.

Haven't tried any I897 Gingerbread builds, but for Froyo, FireFly 3.0 is the gold standard.
[Captivate Android Development] phoneturf:
I ran Firefly far longer than any other rom in the 15 months I have had my phone. I tried most of the GB roms when they first came out and always went back to Firefly, mostly due to the poor battery life and lack of customizability of the GB roms. However, many of the latest GB roms have as good a battery life and they are almost as good as customizing as Firefly, but blow FF away as far as speed and UI. I recommend dlev 4.2 (not 5.0) and serendipity vii for roms with as good battery life as FF and almost as good customizing. I will always have a soft spot for FF, but it was time to move on. I can almost assure you that if you make the mistake of choosing cm7 or miui as your first GB rom you will be disappointed and be flashing back to FF within a week if not a day. If you choose dlev or svii, you won't look back and wonder what took you so long.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
I've been on ff since 2.1 or 2.2. the only thing that's preventing me from trying ginger is the call recording feature.

Anyone interested in running the new market?

I made a post about getting it running properly here.

[Captivate Android Development] vladdangel:
Does anyone have a working download link? Even manually typing the link ends up bringing me to kizzmyazz.com

Please someone help me here. I kinda screwed up my kernels (complete noob here) on the andromeda rom and I need something that actually works (and works well) to replace what I've done.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I reposted this about a page back, it's from the last page of the firefly q&a sticky thread.

Gif animation not working?

Just flashed this tom yesterday and my only gripe is that it seems gif animations do not work.

Any ideas why this would be?
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Well im coming back to the captivate soon. Since leaving the captivate i have been through the htc inspire,motorola atrix,and htc sensation and to be honest,im excited to come back.

Just wish that this rom would be swept up and updated :( it was my pride and joy on my last cappy. Best rom ive ever experienced on any phone in my opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
it's still just as good as when you left it.... ;)

If you want up to date... I'm running M8 with FF theme and I whole heartedly recommend it.

Agreed FF was the best for froyo, but froyo it shall remain.....

I think....

<«Swyped from phone»>
[Captivate Android Development] dang3r1917:
I just switched over to mosaic 8 after staying on FF for forever. One of the things I miss though is the news and weather widget that I had with FF. Does anyone know which widget I'm talking about? It had weather in the left and news from a lot of different sources on the right. I don't know if this was built into 2.2 or added to FF, but could someone post an .apk of it that will work on M8? Thanks a lot!!

Original Captivate running M8.
[Captivate Android Development] chavocarlos:
The weather widget is fancy widget, see in the market.

Sent from the center of the earth.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Fancy widget is no longer in the market, well the one in firefly anyway, it's become fancy widgets which is not really the same.

If you wanna use the one in firefly open up the zip and go to either /data/app or /system/app (forget which i think data though) pull it out and install it on mosaic. That's what i did ;)
[Captivate Android Development] dang3r1917:
Thanks for the help. What us the name of the apk I'm looking for?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Com.andoes.fancywidget-1.apk
[Captivate Android Development] liquidzyklon:
Might be GenieWidget.apk
[Captivate Android Development] dang3r1917:
It was genie widget! Thanks for that second suggestion. I found an APK of genie online but after installing it, it force closes every time I try to add it as a widget or when I open it from the app drawer. Suggestions?

Edit/ An XDA post from the T mobile forum said he got it to work by surly doing the APK into the /system/app fodder, but when trying to move it with astro I get permission denied. Any easy I can move it without paying for an app?
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
You should be able to push it with Astro. Make sure root (or r/w) is enabled. I've just come across Es file manager.... It's really good, does everything including unzip... And yes it's free.

Phoned in.....
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Fyi, You can convert to system app with tibu also.

[Captivate Android Development] phoenixfriend:
I was wondering why they stopped developement of this rom other than the release of gb and ics? Its a great little rom. It seems like phoenix may be from the same team. Might give it a shot as I flashed fire fly 3.0 last night and it came with a lot of phoenix art as wall paper. Gonna research it tomorrow and see if its gb based or froyo based.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Yup same team, it's FROYO
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
And, I think all of the theme links are still good for Phoenix/Firefly in my theme thread(see my signature).

If you have any questions feel free to ask
[Captivate Android Development] phoenixfriend:
So the ff nods and fixes has some prepossessing themes and gadgets that I was toying with. Do I need to remove themes to flash new ones? And how? I started with firefly then flashed darkfire blue then the honey comb theme. Then tried back to dark fire and seem to have a honey comb dark fire hybrid theme. Also am I stuck with just the three home screens or us there a simple way to add more?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Some of the Firefly themes had reverts, if there isn't any, the only way is to re-flash the ROM, but I honestly don't remember if FF is a wipe ROM or not(I tend to think it won't, but don't hold me to that). If you're going from theme to theme, you don't need to go back. You have already found that some themes will modify more than others so if you jump around, you will, like you said, get a hybrid. The only thing you can really do, is go back to the stock.

IF I remember right, FF only had 3 home screens, you might have to use a 3rd party to get more
[Captivate Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Seems wifi doesn't work with all the apps. Having trouble with losing connection on facebook app. It still is a wonderful rom with some great customization ability. Think ill try a few others and keep this one on the sd card. Thanks guys for such a great rom.
[Captivate Android Development] anwarkhan25:
Hate to revive old threads, but i really want to try this rom out, as per the instructions in the OP (also quoted above), i have to flash to stock (guessing froyo) then reinstall packages to get cwm and then flash the rom. My question is what is master clear and how can i do it?
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Flash Stock ROM (2.3.x is OK, GB bootloaders are backwards compatible) -> Reboot to verify

Flash Corn kernel (to get CWM and Root if needed, guide with links here) -> Reboot to verify

In CWM ->

Factory Reset, Clear Cache, Clear Dalvik

-> Flash Custom ROM -> Reboot to verify
[Captivate Android Development] anwarkhan25:
Thanks! been through exactly that process before so shouldn't be much of a hassle. will try asap.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Yep, I'm doing it right now. Lost my IMEI after latest CM10.1.3 Stable update. Don't know why. :(
[Captivate Android Development] veladem:
Yeah, that happens a lot, did you backup your EFS folder? By any chance?

Sent from my T-Mobile i897 running MIUI 3.9.13 GearUI by: Alberto96 on XDA Premium 4
[Captivate Android Development] thebulletfromhell:
IMEI loss/Radio corruption are pretty normal for JB. Reflash KK4, confirm your EFS is still there and restore your backup. Most likely, you can't mount your /efs either. I stopped loosing my IMEI after I switched radio from the JL3 that came with the ROM to a Nexus S radio
[Captivate Android Development] anwarkhan25:
Just noticed that the links are dead.. Yes, i've read a few pages back which posted the links from the faq, those are dead too. Anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I *might* have it somewhere but will have to wait til tomorrow. I'll post back if I find it.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
No worries, phone up and running again with CM10.1.3 Stable.

You can't restore JB backup from GB. Need to flash JB first to repartition.
[Captivate Android Development] anwarkhan25:
any luck?
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Sorry been busier than I expected. I'll look when I get back home in a couple hours.
[Captivate Android Development] anwarkhan25:

LOL that sucks, anyways goodluck!
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
This is probably the most polished ROM I've ever used and I have always wished somebody would make a Firefly theme. Anyways, I keep this ROM on my computer because I just can't bear to part with it. I've also uploaded a theme, but I can't remember what it is so flash it at your own risk. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

[Captivate Android Development] anwarkhan25:
Flashed stock 2.3.3 , flashed corn kernel, reboot in to recovery, wipes data/factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik cache, flashed rom and got this error
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
See TRusselo's Guide that is a Stickied thread in the Q & A forum. Read the OP and then u will understand more about the error u r getting.

U will just need to use Odin to flash the .tar version of the Speedmod Kernel, then reboot into Recovery and flash the Rom.

Success.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Basically, the zip is outdated and cwm sees it. Either use an older cwm or do as 4-2ndtwin suggested and flash speedmod kernel through odin (which will flash an older cwm).

There's another option, it is to update the zip yourself. That is if you know how to. Otherwise the other options are much easier.
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
It's amazing. Now that Adam has put out FireFly 1.5 and it is running sooo smoothly this thread has gotten awfully quiet. You can always tell when he is about to release a new version because all of a sudden the page count jumps way up.

I guess you can take this as a good sign Adam. The problems we are seeing now are mostly trivial thanks to your superb skills. This ROM is simply fantastic!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] cobeebs:
This ROM rocks. Flashed over Cog 2.3b8... I almost can't believe how fast this ROM is!!!

But wait - it's 8:30pm, my phone has been unplugged since 6:00am and with moderate use, I STILL HAVE 66% BATTERY REMAINING.

After a usage day like today, I would generally need to be plugging in about now (20% or less).

I have had 0 issues with this ROM. Did I mention GPS? Got a lock sitting in the house in about 7 seconds. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

If you are even remotely considering flashing this ROM, stop thinking and start flashing.

Thanks Adam.
[Captivate Android Development] mi04se1:
I to flashed fb2 no bln yesterday and my battery stayed at 100 for about 45 minutes. Now its at 32 and its been 27 hours since charged. I made a few calls for over 3 hours, checked my email and unlocked the phone quite a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] Theojt:
Yeah, mine too. I guess we have to wait until its updated. I found a Droid version that also works on HTC and a few others, I may try that if I can get TiBu to cooperate (BusyBox issue).

Edit: I installed the version I found here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/blacked-out/116504-2-2-11-market-blacked-out.html

I installed via CWM and did a "Clear Data" before running it and so far, so good....

Yes its big.. Probably could be tweaked better and shrunk but give me a break its my first time so YOU BETTER LIKE IT K?! If not make it yourself :D

Im open to feedback..

Oh and it took me ... 15 minutes? or so..
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
Badass. I love it. Only thing..maybe its just for me..but it doesnt fully finish..stops before the droid blasts the apple logo. Great job tho. I keep it. Wish i had talent to make stuff like this..
[Captivate Android Development] skorchir:
It blasts the logo for me .. maybe yours boots a bit quicker. Its possible to shorten it by removing some more frames from it and/or maybe speed up the frame rate. I sampled it at 20fps and played it back at 30fps.
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
you were right. because of the lagfix and system lagfix enabled..it booted to fast. after i disabled both.. the bootanimation finished.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Sweet; thanks for the boot animation and Adam I want your babies. Still loving Firefly.

Could be a bug here.

When adding contacts to phone from Touchdown, I only see them in the unassigned Groups list and not in the Contacts list.

Will flash another ROM soon to see if that issue follows me.

Can anyone else with Touchdown confirm this?

Can change/edit the wifi icon at the top?

Overall, the ROM is pretty fast, ill have to test it to see everything!

For screenshots, you will probably have to get an app from the Play Store. There are a lot of choices there.

But I will attach a free one here that I have had on my pc for a looong time. Be sure that the "Unknown sources" is selected in the Settings/ Applications, so that you can install it. :good:
