[Captivate Android Development] :
Xtremekilla i just wanna say thank you for creating this amazing ROM. As soon as i get some extra money you can definitely count on a donation from me.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
@Xtreme i'm wondering what you think of rescan so far? i've seen some mixed reviews on appbrain. some say its not cooperating with media scan.

my media scan is sticking on reboot. and sometimes killing launcher pro, only just after reboot. runs beautifully otherwise, so good.

should i just ditch rescan???? i've rebooted a few times and wiped cache again......

btw...my pattern lock circles are off center as well, doesn't bother me just thought you would want to know.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I still get FCs on My Tracks (1.1.2). 1.0.21 works fine though FYI.

mediarescan 2.2 guide suggess enabling USB debug mode. I haven't used this app myself, but iunno, check out the guide.

and for the lock pattern issue: Did you flash one of the battery mods? If not, you should! :)?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
what he said.

rescan is fairly new to me as well. It has been working smooth for me so far.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
X can you tell me what rescan actually does? I have enabled it and it seems to be faster than media scan, is that it only scans certain things that and media scan did much more?

Also what is the best way to flash a .apk file? I want to try that calculator a couple of pages back....

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
It has has a couple bad reviews, 90% are good. But one question; what the hell does it do? I read the description but still don't understand it's purpose?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Rescan basically enables/disables media scanner. This helps me because I can disable the media scanner and then when I am modding the ROM, the reboots and the usb unplugs are much faster because the phone does not scan for new media. You dont have to use it, but I included it for my convenience.

For the apk, you will have to drop it in the system/app folder or I will give you flashable zip later on.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
thanks guys, yes i forgot to mention that i read that about usb debug, checked and it was on all the while. i'll keep watching, maybe uninstall/reinstall rescan.

i did install the honeycomb battery mod (ocd no like the cut off bottom;))

then the old circle mod but not since 2.5. i confess i didn't even look for pattern lock until today.

loving ff and all your dedication
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Thanks I can drop it in and decide which one I like, thanks!!! Okay need more help looking for the system/app folder. I gather it should be in the internal sd card? I have found the tunnybrowser which has some file that are app_ etc?
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Hmm, hope someone knows how to get it to work baked in. I don't mind flashing it but would be cool to have as the stock market

Haha. You are a flash addict. They have meetings for that:D
[Captivate Android Development] ankitb4u:
Dear,

Adam I am moving away from your roms, I was constantly uptodate with each and every creation of yours. But I spotted Dark's Gingerbread rom, or at least I think it is flashing it right now.

When are you making yours with gingerbread? Hopefully, I don't have to come back in one minute. I hope gingerbread works.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
GB isn't even stable yet. I am willing to bet it is a typo. Probably supposed to be 2.2.1 as opposed to 2.3.1.
[Captivate Android Development] ankitb4u:
I know, I have flashed GB before after a bunch of research and such.

And it is quite unstable. So these guys are lying.

I followed this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091

well it has a Captivate version of thread to. Sheer disappointment.

I was better off on your firefly. UGH.

I am so desprate for GB, I even went out and bout Nexus S. But, couldn't deal with Edge on AT&T, so I switched to Tmo ridiculous coverage compared to AT&T. So returned it.

Exchange Email

What's the word on Exchange email?

That has to work for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am not going to say if they are lying or not. That is not my place. I just checked out the build.prop and it is definitely a 2.2.1 build which is what Phoenix is.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
What can I do to make this a 5 star thread/ROM? I don't want to get passed up bc I am not sporting 5 stars. Please, if you think FF is worth 5 please vote, if not that is cool too. I have just never had anything below 5 stars:(
[Captivate Android Development] gallinas2:
Adam firefly has same problem DG had. Can't create shortcuts from browser, add shortcut to home does not work or shortcuts via anycut don't work either. DG fixed on 3.01 but, not sure what he did.
[Captivate Android Development] senavis:
Definitely this deserves a five star!! absolutely brilliant stuff compared to any other IMO...my vote is ON for FF!!

I am ready to flash 1.5, just one quick question..is the ear piece working fine with 1.5, i mean can we control voice calls and music with it??

cheers!!
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
All your work is five stars bro, I'll vote when I get home. If people are like me I'm never on my putter any more and don't even think about ratings lol

[Captivate Android Development] Thanontos:
Adam and team, a few questions. I am still new and appreciate your patience with me. I just flashed back to stock with Odin and had a pretty hard time. It froze on me and I thought I had bricked it, but luckily got it back in download mode and got back stock 2.1. After I re-rooted, I tried to flash clockwork recovery from Rom Manager and could not get it to run (it always went back to stock android recovery.) I found a clockwork recovery file and followed the instructions and labeled it update.zip and flashed that, then finally got FF up and running.

Now for my questions as I think my methods above could've jacked something up. I am seeing the GT-I9000 screen on reboot followed by the Phoenix screen, is that normal? Now my next question, but can I not use Rom Manager to reboot into recovery mode? Every time I try it reboots into stock android recovery. I can access the recovery with 3 button and it says it is version 2.5.1.0 but in RM it says current version 2.5.1.2. By holding the power button it does put me in CW recovery too. Is this just due to a different kernel or my methods?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
One and only reason I care about ratings is so people who don't know about FF/Phoenix actually give it a shot. Would you rather flash a 3-4 star or a 5 star? I just want people to try and enjoy what I make.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Nope, you didn't jack anything up. I had to port over several files from Phoenix to get the lock screen chooser working and the GT I9000 splash must have slipped in somehow. This is still a 2.2 Rogers based ROM. In regards to recovery. do not use ROM manager. It is outdated now. Just use the 3 button recovery method. It will always get you into recovery unless you break that too. ;)

Pheonix Vs Firefly

I love to see this but i have a question, pheonix is 2.2.1 which should be better than 2.2 firefly right ?

I have been using Pheonix 3.5. Is this better and smoother than Pheonix 3.5 ?
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
oops posted in here instead of phoenix.

Anyone else have wifi issues?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Here you go. Flash this using CWM recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
What sort of issues are you having?

Can you try this?
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
ok i get it .... it offers the ability to disable media scan as opposed to replacing media scan i had it wrong. tested it's actual function and it seems solid.

definatly nice to have for frequent usb unplugs.

have other folks had trouble with jl3?

after all i've read about kernal/modem/rom combos i don't know what to think.

bits from three different models......could that be compromising
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Thanks but that did not help.

I can't connect to my WPA network anymore. Works ok for an open network.

Could be my router.

I'll have to reset the router when I get a chance!
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I havn't flashed the update yet because I need a stable phone until I go off for another five days....so that will be this weekend.

I can however speak to jl3 paired with speedmod k13A (I get awesome battery life on A so it is what I am running presently): It was a juggernaut of a modem and was great for gps, speed and call quality. The only issue that it gave me was every time I came out of flight mode (about five times/day being a pilot) I would get "Sim card removed, reboot phone" or something along those lines and I wouldn't get GSM in some remote areas where I need to fall back on some crappy network to make calls to my company so I ended up dropping the modem. If you are in an area with 3G/edge and don't need GSM then you should be golden with jl3 and speedmod.
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
I thought rogers and at&t captivates are identical hardware and this rom is based off the rogers froyo captivate. Why then does this rom have video call in call settings?
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Cause all Rogers 3g phones are video call capable. Works with main camera no problem. Hell I was even able to do a video call on my non Rogers E51 back in the day!

GPS issues

Anyone found issues with gps or getting current location in the browser?
[Captivate Android Development] pqee:
I only have one issue with gps so far. When I enable gps, it immediately starts trying to find a satellite even with no apps open. It tries for about 20 seconds then stops and works like normal.

I can't remember if out did this on 2.4 but I've checked my wife's phone and it doesn't happen on stock 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I've been getting FC with the newest version of my tracks after accepting the EULA. I got a fix in the works if anyone is interested.

Nope. But turn on the location settings in settings (use wireless networks) and experiment with different modems for the GPS. Try jl2.

[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Once in a while, my router acts strangely too, not allowing my laptop or phone to connect. A simple unplug/replug works wonders. I've gotten customers that have routers just go bad after awhile too. I think some of the time it is due to overheating issues on some router models.

testing jl3 now ... good results for gps, best i've seen....have 3g consantly fast speeds...

i've lost swype, got the message "your trial period has ended please upgrade your swype" can't find a way do to so and i was thinking it could be i need samsung apps. i don't really want it but if that the only way to get swype back , so be it.

must have swype.

I'm running phoenix 7.0 with the fugu tweaks still enabled and glitterballs woks no issues oc'ed to 1280mhz lagfix enabled. Someone want to check if it works on firefly? I would but my battery is almost dead.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Well my guess would be the kernel. Flash SpeedMod back and I'll bet it works.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
My thoughts exactly.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Is that the KB1 beta 1 or 2 kernel from existz? I had wi-fi issues with that one too. Should raise your issue in that thread :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Yeah I suspected that as well and went back to SpeedMod and Wifi works again!
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
Hey, I am currently on SN and am planing on switching to FF because of how much feedback everyone gets from X, Adam has been extremely busy and I am going threw flash withdrawals, can anyone tell me if FF works well with Suckerpunch or Suckerpunch-voodoo? Another thing, What in the world is FUGU Tweaks?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Ah ok. So if I do that, what am I supposed to look for?

Yes it'll work with SuckerPunch. However you might wanna try it with the Fugu disabled first. I myself am using SpeedMod with fugu and all is well so far.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
FF works well with both suckerpunches. Fugu tweaks are now disabled by default. Fugu tweaks is basically 2 binaries that have been taken from AOSP 2.3.3 gingerbread and slapped into Froyo. They say it improves screen responsiveness. Personally I dont really see it, but try it for yourself with SpeedMod. Fugu doesn't work with suckerpunch (either one) yet.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Okay, for those with Force Closes (see original post for details) on the new My Tracks after accepting the EULA, I present the fix.

I tested it on a newly installed My Tracks. Install the newest My Tracks from the market, flash my fix, enjoy my tracks. :cool: lol, sorry im 3 weeks late with this one. I didn't investigate it unitl now.

Google messed it up some how...
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
If you just take the theme your trying to revert from and put it side by side with the rom, then just drag and drop the matching files in each folder from the rom to the theme. Flash and you are stock themed.

And you must disable fugu in order for either suckerpunch-voodoo our the nonvoodoo and firebird as well.

Fugu only works for me with the included speedmod, and glitterballs

Edit: I forgot fugu is now disabled by default.

Swype trial expired?

Me and my girlfriend are both running Firefly 2.5. We flashed from 2.4-2.5 using the included FF mods app. Literally up till now we've been able to use Swype as our primary text input. For some reason we recently got a "You're trial has expired" error and we can no longer use Swype. Any ideas on why we would get this?
[Captivate Android Development] Sundroid:
I got this while still running 2.2. I was hoping that it had been fixed in 2.5. I think I'm going to go to a different keyboard anyways... SWYPE is getting more and more frustrating for me.
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
Thanks everyone will flash in the mourning
[Captivate Android Development] Sundroid:
I was having problems with search working, so I figured I would toss a reply out there.

I was wondering where the upgrade from 2.2 - 2.3 and then from 2.3 - 2.4 were available from? I clicked on the incremental upgrade link, but it just had the 2.5 and the 2.4 - 2.5. Appreciate the time.

Thanks for the continued support!
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
Just copy the link location for updates ex. 2.4-2.5. And try replacing the version # with 2.3-2.4.

I'm not sure what that happens. Have to see where xtreme gets his themed swypes. You could try installing the latest beta from SWYPE (Mar 10; unthemed).

It's hard for me to test unless I get the problem myself. I guess I have to use swype for some time? It's not my primary keyboard. How did you end up getting this expiiry msg?
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
Yeah I understand, we've been using swype with no issues with firefly for quite some time. We updated to 2.5 and got the error tonight. It's weird because we're apart but got the same exact error message within a few minutes. I have a swype account but am having difficulty installing the new version. I uninstalled with titanium backup and the install always fails. I've tried using super manager to put it in the sytem/app/ directory but it never seems to work.

What are the major differences between the Rogers Captivate 2.2 kernel in FF and the kernel in the the "new" AT&T Froyo kernel in the stock 2.2 and Cognition 4.1.1 ROMs?
[Captivate Android Development] Deku42:
I'm getting the same problem, and I just updated from 2.4-2.5 today also. I started getting it about half an hour ago, was just in the middle of messaging a friend and got the message
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I tried going into settings->applications->manage applications. I wiped the data for swype just for the hell of it. It worked for a few minutes and then the message pops up again. I think the version of swype that was included in Firefly is somehow tied or confused with someone's beta account?
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
the swype issue is around. i've lost mine just after the update. so have some pheonix users that just updated to 7....

i went to the beta site and it says that if you had swype preinstalled that it would not work. so i held off......

it is the only keyboard i use so i'm feelin it......:(

bit more info .... the key board stays up and will allow me to type just not swype. but it wont give the message again untill i switch keyboards back and forth..........
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I'm looking into the issue now.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
from basically day one, i've been using swype 2.6.47.11856 wvga, after uninstalling the version included with firefly, because the one in the rom doesn't support the language i want. you should google for that file and install it, after uninstalling the included version via titanium backup.

i got a force close when i first did it, but after some googling, it turns out i had to delete a file using a root explorer, and all is well after that.
[Captivate Android Development] Sundroid:
Thanks... they didn't show up at first, but got them now!

Thanks for the help though, guys... upgrading now.
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
Thank you all for the help / input. I just installed a completely different version of swype. (It's from an older version of Serendipity). It's apparently suffering from the same issue. Although I didn't get the same error message. It will NOT let me input any words. It's a very weird issue that other roms also have. Only solution I have found is to uninstall swype using either root explorer or super manager. Then restart and install the new swype.apk and libcore.so within the appropriate directories
[Captivate Android Development] Sundroid:
I actually feel like the SWYPE problem is more along the lines of a time issue... like I said before, I had that happen to me tonight while running 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
My swype is also expiring. I might try pulling the swype from Cog as I can't even type at all with the expired version.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
It is. There is a licensing code in there that causes it to expire if there's a newer beta. And the SWYPE versions included in these ROMs are the newest SWYPE beta. There's a lot of legal issues but as far as I know, the original OEM SWYPE versions that came with our stock phones are properly licensed to work forever. And they don't seem to officially update the version of SWYPE licensed for galaxy s.

So theres a few legal options:

1) completely delete SWYPE from your phone and install the newest beta SWYPE

2) reinstall stock SWYPE

maybe xtreme has other insight. I could provide the stock - galaxy s- SWYPE if you guys want it for now.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
What do you mean? Say I was running Dark Fire then reversed back to stock theme, I should download the ROM and extract it, then drag and drop all the files that the theme changed?

I haven't had any Swype issues... yet.
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
Correction: I got it to work. Got too anxious and closed out before it finished licensing. Appreciate all the help.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Hm, I want to see what xtreme's reaction is to this, but I think these CWM packages from darky are stock-licensed SWYPE. Version reads 2.6.something.

Let me know if these ones work.
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
Edited my previous post. I actually got it to work. Didn't finish licensing. I'm running swype version 2.29.71.20203.t100. It's the latest full version swype currently offers. Thanks again for all the help
[Captivate Android Development] clocke:
I have been using the green themed swype keyboard in from ff1.5 and started having the swype issue tonight, if that helps. I want to keep my green keyboard!

And btw, does anyone know how to backup the swype dictionary? Its not the user.dictionary one in tibu
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Ya, the newest version, as I suggested will work. Not sure for how long though :S

Swype files to replace if you guys need to:

/lib/libSwypeCore.so

/app/Swype.apk
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
cool thanks for testing..... i'll go with, one the options that appeared while i was typing, until i can get a beautifully themed one from Xtreme....... hint
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Alright guys, I'm back.

I know the swype issues are popping up and they have popped up every time swype puts out a new beta.

I will fix this and put out a CWM zip in the app. I might have to roll back to an older swype for now.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
thanks Xtreme, is it ok to use the latest beta for now or best to wait?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
It is absolutely fine if you use the newest beta. Whatever makes it work for you, makes me happy.
