Did you just Double post? LOL

I'm part of a POST SANDWICH! :D

Did you do a FULL Rom flash/ come from a different ROM? If so i would at least try another download of the full rom, and reflash again.

ANy lagfixes?
[Captivate Android Development] strauss0829:
i cam from stock and it was happening on stock as well i unlock the device and my home button starts flashing and doin crazy ****,,,,and i am fresh on firefly 3.0 with no extr4a mods or tweaks
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Strange how it does it on stock as well. Hmmm....are you Froyo stock or Eclair stock?

I'm thinkin Kernel issues is a possibility....
[Captivate Android Development] strauss0829:
eclair stock i was on i used ODIN with master clear then rooted then recovery and flashed this rom ....this all started happening today
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I remember reading about this. I think it was your Captivate dying....
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Sounds like it's a hardware problem...
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Damnit x im runnin continuum v5 gingerbread. Its blazing fast and stable,but i cant quit reading this damn thread! I know your work will be put into gingerbread eventually but ita killin me! I already have odin ready and 3.0 downloaded,just havent jumped back yet. Anyways,im looking foward to some more of your work. Keep it up!
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Fugu tweaks

are the tweaks enabled by default or do you have to enable them in recovery? i already have the lagfix enabled from the onix kernel if that matters

[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Did you do a full flash? If so then you don't have the onix kernel unless you flashed that yourself either way they are not enabled by default ... If you did the no wipe update then the kernel settings weren't touched.

Damn quote weirdness

[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Im sayin that continuum gingerbread (v5) is blazing fast bit my point was that nothing keeps me from looking back to firefly. I was expressing how great i think his work is
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
I flashed to 2.9 from mastercleared stock then flashed onix then reformatted for the lagfix then i used the update package to go to 3.0

also what do the tweaks do and are they worth installing?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Well like I said either way in both kernels they are off by default, if you never enabled them in onix they aren't enabled.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Sorry, quoting problem with xda premium, What I meant was, how do you know C5 is blazing fast? Just a feeling or something substantive? I'm just curious
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Im runnin c5. Its a fast and stable gingerbread rom

I was just tellin x how much i love his work and how hard it is to not flash back to firefly
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
See I don't have an app sig so I have to type something down here or it won't send.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Just did a clean install of FireFly 3.0 after Odin to Rogers stock, and I have to say it feels a lot snappier than when I started off with FireFly 2.5 and installed the updates one by one. Also noticed that the full ROM has the 50% thingy fix, while the update package doesn't.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
what is this 50% thingy? let the bashing begin...

i read something about without signal, had no issues so havent looked farther...
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Cell standby shows 50% without signal and drains battery like a bastard.

The fix was to turn airplane mode on and turn it off. The included apk in 3.0 runs to boot in airplane mode and then switch off automatically.

Only the apk caused my contacts not to be read from the sim. But toggling airplane fixed that one. So either way I have to toggle airplane mode so I uninstalled the apk.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
oh i noticed that the other day kinda, didnt know what i was seeing, battery sucked, removed a bunch of crap from kernel, init.d, and undervolting, now at 31% left after 42 hours on extended battery. still Firefly 2.9 onix. right now cell standby is at 20%. all is good for me
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
In your opinion are the fugu tweaks worth installing
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
No Bashing. I too am curious about this. I have read the past 10 pages and have seen remarks back and forth. I understand it eats a lot of battery but i honestly haven't seen ANY battery issues within the past 3-4 versions of FF.

:::Just checked Cell Standby and mine currently shows 6%. And this is me waiting for 3.0 to download so i can flash::::

I noticed that everytime i reboot my phone it shows "no signal/ service" for like a 1 minute, but even so i havent noticed or had any battery related problems. Is that symptoms of the "50%" thiny....?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
That is the fix.apk running at boot. That's normal now on 3.0 it boots automatically in airplane mode hence the no signal, and then turns airplane mode off.

Unless you aren't on 3.0 in which case ... Why the hell not?!

They are already installed by default ... For a few versions now.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
fugu or "tweaks"....... crapp got beat.

bung-hole.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
"Thanks" :D
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Wtf?

[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I believe that this is a hardware issue that affects some people's phones and is random when it decided to start up. I know that Kanji has experienced the issue as well as others on the forums. At first, people thought that it was a ROM related issue, but it was happening across ROMs as well as across different Kernels, this ruled out most software issues. Others got it while on stock, so any extra apps wern't the issue either.

That left only hardware issues. Some people returned their captivates and got a new one and never had the problem again. It will not kill your phone really, it just seems to be as annoying as hell. What this means is that you will most likely not get a working fix for the issue and your only option is to replace the phone as it is defective.

Some just choose to live with it if the problem is infrequent, but I know others had it a lot and couldn't enjoy the phone anymore.

Hope that helps you out.

PHAT ROM

Mr "X"

This ROM is the boom!!! I have tried others but none come close this one IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
I experienced that with the menu key for a little while but it just stopped all the sudden.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Ok, how do you get the old, white time stamp for the mms app back?

I tried pulling the old mms.apk from 2.8, but that changed nothing.

The black-on-gray is useless to me, as my visual acuity is so poor, I can only barely detect the contrast.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Is the old fix still in the app? Give that a shot... Or see what's inside that zip and grab whatever that is from 2.8 I'm not sure what controls that either or I would've just told you instead.

Edit: it's not in the app anymore ... Guess x took it out when he threw it in the rom. Sorry mike.
[Captivate Android Development] hey_joe:
It could just be me, is swype working for you guys? Mine works when typing but when " swyping " doesn't. This morning a message popped up and says the swype app was made for another device. Maybe I need a reflash?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
X spoke of making a fix for that, although I like the black on grey, I'm sure you're not alone............

So maybe optional...... :)
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
Do you have a captivate?

Sent from my captivate running firefly!
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
I would try uninstalling and reinstalling swype first. The fix is no longer in the app so back it up or get it from the .zip

I have seen that message before when I was working around the out dated swype issue...
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
That is weird. I would also suggest uninstalling and reinstalling, back it up and then use tibu to uninstalll reboot and then restore it with tibu and then reboot see if that works.

If it doesn't I would reflash.

I had an issue with swype yesterday, I cooked the solar flare theme into firefly 3.0 so I wouldnt have to flash it seperately ... Well that made swype not show up at all as an input choice even though it was in the flash I even dropped it in manually and still wouldnt show up.

So I flashed them separate and I'm swyping this out.

Hi, how do you go back stock with odin? Wasn't it just go back to AT&T? Any help would be appreciated. As I want to back to stock before flashing FF3.0

Thanks

Sent from my samsung captivate boosted by FireFly 2.7 with Onix kernel
[Captivate Android Development] hey_joe:
I think I found the problem. When I installed samsung apps, it changed the build prop so swype stopped working. Just uninstalled it now and swype is working again. Thanks though for the support :)
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
Hey Guys, i used to have a Rogers HTC magic, so ive done my fair share of flashing and rooting.

Just got a Samsung captivate from Rogers, firmware is stock 2.2. I have already rooted it, and installed clockworkrecovery, I then installed a custom recovery (using clockworkmod)

I want to try out this ROM Firefly. Just wondering what my next steps are? Do i need to install a Kernel? Or do i already have the correct Kernel as I believe this Rom is based on the Rogers 2.2??

Thanks fellas
[Captivate Android Development] hey_joe:
Download links and instructions are here assuming of course you want to install the Rogers version as opposed to the AT&T one :)
[Captivate Android Development] hey_joe:
Just download the full Rom you want then boot to recovery mode and install :)
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
Do i Have to wipe anything? Or do i have to change the name to Update.zip?

I think it was slightly different for me with my HTC, just wanna make sure.;)
[Captivate Android Development] hey_joe:
What I always do before flashing is factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik. No need to change anything.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I believe you mean you installed rom manager and installed clockworkmod recovery (that is the custom recovery) with that.

I want to clear that up in case you get confused in the future.
[Captivate Android Development] welchertc:
I flashed this yesterday, and I found a bit of a glitch. After flashing, I used firefly mods and fixes to flash the honeycomb theme and lock screen. That works great. Then I tried to flash the crysis bat mod on top, and when I rebooted, I got stuck in what I think was a boot loop. Easily fixed by a bat pull then 3 button recovery and re flashing the honeycomb theme. Don't know if I just screwed something up or if it is a repeatable problem.

Other than this, which isn't really a problem, this rom is great. Everything is smooth as butter, and the honeycomb theme is awesome. Keep it up!
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
sorry your right
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
The battery mods are for the stock theme. It's just the framework-res.apk from firefly with the battery images swapped ... Usually it will only un theme a bunch of stuff but a boot loop is a possibility also.

Hmm maybe x should put "(for stock theme only)" next to the battery mod menu in the app to clear this up?
[Captivate Android Development] rapsucks10:
I REALLY WANT THIS TOO!!!

Use another launcher, ADW or Launcher Pro. You can add and remove home screens in those.

Try Zeam launcher. This in itself has quite a good selection of options. Also has a very low memory footprint at around ~9 MB.

I found this very similar to Launcher pro with slightly reduced options compared to Launcher Pro.

So i have the firefly.zip on my sd card, I then rebooted into Recovery, the Androd recovery, I then chose install update packages, and it starts to load something, then it fails and says "failed to initilize file structure"

Ive tried it many times, just cant get into clockworkrecovery, which i know i installed.

Also when i flashed the cstom recovery I didnt have a sd card in the phone, I can see the clockworkmod file in the root of my phone and also the update.zip.

any help?
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
you dont need an external sdcard. all files you flash should be on the internal sdcard.

what are you running right now? once you return to stock form (and factory reset), put this update.zip file in the root of your internal sdcard and choose 'reinstall packages' from the recovery menu. it should work just fine.

otherwise, if you have 3e then you can't do that and you need to follow this
[Captivate Android Development] rapsucks10:
Yeah thank you very much but i really don't want to use another Launcher. Therefore im going to take a look at Zeam Launcher.

Anyone know how do i change or why when i open the dialer or phone app it open in favorites???

I just remember that it open in dialer before, or i just confused....
[Captivate Android Development] hey_joe:
You have the 3e recovery which will not allow unsigned apps to load. You can replace it with the modded one. File and instructions are here :)
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
it wont t me put firefly.zip on the internal sd, keeps saying exception failure, thats why i tried the external which i was able to put it on, for some reason it wont let me drag and drop it on the internal sd
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
AN UNEXPECTED ERROR IS PREVENTING THE OPERATION.

ERROR CODE 0x80070057 the parameter is incorrect

This si what i get when i try to drag and drop firefly.zip into my internal sd
[Captivate Android Development] hey_joe:
If you have data or can use wifi, just download the file using your phone that way it will put the file in the download directory of the internal card. But you have to download an app first from the market that supports zip files such as the free astro file manager for the phone to download zipped files.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Don't multi post. Edit your old post.

The reason it doesn't work is because you're on Rogers Froyo. Flash back to Rogers Eclair, then follow the 2nd post in this thread or the stickied thread on how to flash custom ROMs. You don't need to install the root file in Eclair Recovery menu. You just need to install the Clockwork Recovery, then FireFly.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
it might be a problem with your computer. Try copying it from a different PC and see if you get the same error.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Hmm that's odd.

Try and download it with your phone ... Then with a file explorer move it to the root of /sdcard.

As said before you will need to mod the 3e recovery also. But lets got the rom on the sdcard and then burn the 3e bridge.

[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
Try installing 2.9 and upgrading to 3.0. Might just be a problem with the full 3.0 zip.

Or redownload 3.0 again maybe try a different mirror ...

Power off, Reboot Problem

I was a long time Cognition 4.3.1 user and today i installed Firefly 3.0 first time and i like this room for its snappy performance.

The problem i got into is when connected to power adapter and i want to power off phone, it will power off but will reboot by itself right away without me doing anything.

Am i doing something wrong? or a bad flash? should i do whole odin process again?

Thanks

Rom is really awesome but I'm having one problem with it. I can't use kindle for android. When I try to sign in it tells me "error loading content. we were unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again later. If you continue having problems, you may need to restart the application."

Unfortunately restarting the application isn't doing a whole lot
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Try powering off the phone first, then plugging it into the adapter. It works fine for me both ways, I would suggest a reflash.

Try clearing market cache - go into sgs tool and do it from there, hopefully that will work.
[Captivate Android Development] Mantu13:
I cleared market cache and rebooted but still getting the same error.

can somebody else verify that the kindle application lets you sign in and register the device on firefly?

Hey xtreme, I know adam created both Firefly and Phoenix. But i'm just wondering are there any difference between these 2 ROM's apart from theme and different people maintaining the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Phoenix is based on JS8 which is 2.2.1, so it has a few more optimizations.

FF is based on Rogers 2.2

You can't go wrong with either one.

I just noticed that when I clicked my camera I get a error that says that it failed. I downloaded the hacked camera to see if our would fix it and I still get the error, any ideas? I just did an update to get to 3.0 but did a wipe and clean install on 2.9.

Identical situation to mine except the phone that i flashed firefly 2.9 was a replacement from att and my camera started doing this so i went back to stock and used it all night (miserable) and i got it failed twice on stock so i am gonna say hardware. att is sending me another replacement phone so we will see.

It is nice to see i wasnt the only one experencing this problem i was gonna say it was firefly but after it did it on stock its gotta be hardware right? haha i sure hope so cuz i got a new replacement on its way
