I'm noticing the Mobile AP problem isn't location specific, but it is actually ROM specific or something like that. Tried using Mobile AP today and it kept on giving me errors. It'd just stay on "Connecting to Packet Service" while at the back it says "Error" instead of "Turning On". This time, it happened at multiple locations so it might not be location specific like I previous thought.

Had the same issue as you. First delete all the launcher pro you find in /system/app. Some theme have their own LP version installed you must delete them. Then clear the default launcher in app management. Do the same if you have a home switcher app. Reboot and Launcher Pro should now say Free and not Update. Hope it guides you.

Im with rogers how is the call volume and battery on this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] jtd9:
I don't know if someone already asked since Firefly 2.7 came out, but how are you guys getting such good battery life. My battery is always almost dead with about half my day over. And yes, I did the battery stat clear on the first page of this thread.

What are your guy's settings or anything else that would help?

Thanks!

Goto the market and download Launcher Pro.

Next time you click the home key it will ask you to pick a new default launcher, click launcher pro and customize it as you see fit with the bottom left options key on your homepage/desktop.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I assume you have the box under Settings > Location and security > Use wireless networks checked? If that's not your problem, you should try re-flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
There's no simple answer to that. Most people have nothing but good experiences all around with this ROM/kernel combo. You may or may not. It will vary depending on location, usage, phone and person using it.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Here's a thread with some useful info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806211

Obviously having a lot of widgets running and GPS/Auto Sync/Full Screen Brightness, etc. will drain your batter a lot so those should be off if you can help it. Just go through everything and eliminate those things that you don't need.

Just an update. I tried using WiFi twice at home and I had to turn it off and then turn it back on twice both times to get it working. First time when I select WiFi on, it acted as if WiFi was still off. Turn it back off then turning it on again would turn WiFi on and then connect to my router no problem. I wonder if the Mobile AP problem and the WiFi problem I experienced are related. Is this the same WiFi bug that plagues Onix? I'm on SuckerPunch-Voodo.
[Captivate Android Development] hipha:
Yeah unfortunately its checked. I wish out was that simple to fix. I'm going to wait for next FF release and do a clean flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Hdstreetglide:
I'm haveing the same problem. How did you fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
Oh, and xtremekilla make sure you incorporate the gallery fix to the next/future builds.

Im not sure if it was my problem why my galley was draining but just to let you know that. I fixed it using SGS tools

EDIT: Nevermind. Maybe i restored the gallery with the problems on accident.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
I've had no issues with the gallery. Everything is silky smooth. So are we skipping firefly thursday tomorrow? :(
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
No problems with the stock gallery here.
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
Well I have no idea maybe I did something when I restored my apps and it put the battery drainer in there, well, never mind then !!! Thanks for your response

Call volume is decent, Im not sure if its boosted in this rom or not. AS for battery life goes, It depends on how you use your phone but according to HERE Firefly is the best.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I am working on the update, I think it should be pretty substantial if I get it done.

Just a few of the things I hope to get done.

+ Faster SD card read and write

+ Toggle clock from the setting menu

There is more, but my mind is in 10 different places right now.

If I can't finish those up, then there will be no update, but I am trying to get everything done asap.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
There is a newer SGS Tools out but it's a beta so maybe you don't want to include it.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I'll check it out and I will most likely include it.

[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
That is going to come in future updates, it is a lot more than I had originally conceived.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I must say this has to be the best overall rom for the captivate in my opinion, and a favorite of mine :D
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
So when I look in spare parts/sensor usage, the gallery shows the same hours as total up time.

But when I look in usage history the gallery is at the very bottom, our not there at all if I haven't opened it...

My battery life is great, especially at idle so just wanting to confirm that just because the sensor it's running doesn't necessarily mean that it's draining the battery....

? Right?

Anyone know how to fix the problem of cant change the time and date setting? I tried reboot, it still blanked out.. Need some help :(
[Captivate Android Development] 41LY45:
Been having the same problem. Might need an ODIN master clear to fix it. :rolleyes:

But, being lazy to restore back my apps, i opted to use the "why don't i just give this a go" solution. :D

It will mess up the the colour of the settings and the author's name.

Kudos for MikeyMike and ChanceM for the zip. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Haha with that wallpaper it looks like that is a window

Drocap2 lets you take screen shots, it's free from the market, check it out.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Speak for yourself... ok, just kidding. I'll survive one way or another.

I've been on firefly exclusively since 2.3 I think. so that puts me at a month without a wipe, shattering my old record of probably 4-5 days. Anyways I think I might try to do another master clear/flash to stock to see if I can fix my reboot problems I had mentioned several days ago. I hope I can remember where to find everything in settings, haven't had to change those in a while thanks to xtreme.

So I guess if an update makes out this week, awesome. If not maybe I can play around some of the other roms outs there for a few days. I'm sure I'll end up back on ff though. :cool:

[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
So when I unplug my phone after a full overnight charge my battery indicator says anywhere between 99% and 97%, which is normal. But my battery dives down to about 88% relatively quickly (within a couple hours, not even being used much) and from there it's all fairly normal. I've read in some forums that this is normal also. My question is this: how many of you have this problem/experience?

Edit: This has happened on every single ROM/kernel combo I have ever used, so I know it must be a hardware issue.

Edit #2: I was going to post this in the Captivate General or Q & A section, but I figured I'd get better responses here and that X wouldn't mind.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Never had that issue with my cappy. I get the unplug and get anywhere from 100-97% but dropping quickly to a certain level, the answer is no. I charge every night and havn't had any issues. You know where the batt calibrate threads are etc and I presume that you have gone over them...how old is the batt? could it be that it is just on it's way out and you need to replace it?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Yeah, I calibrate every new flash. The phone itself is only 6 months old. It's a 1008 build so it was one of the first made (I believe 1007 were the very first). Battery health always says "good", but that doesn't really mean much. Maybe I do need a new battery. These Samsung batteries are notoriously shoddy.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnsondr80:
Yea lol, I got shootme, but my wife didnt have any and I was tring to get a close up. But I thought the same thing about the wallpaper.lol

It's actually a vacation picture she took, happy memories in it.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
After recalibrating the battery a few times and deleting battery stats along with turning off wifi when I don't need it, I have not had that issue since. Build 1007.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnsondr80:
Really? When I saw it and asked her about it she told me she put it together per instruction of crysis21 thread. (must have been tring to inpress me, and it did, lol)

Nice that its in ffapp now for all to enjoy.

I'm on phoenix and often forget about that app.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Happens to me, at 100 in the morning drains to about 80 by an hour and a half and then drains super slow .5% an hour!, then when it gets to about 10% it dies in minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
+1

I've had the exact same experience. No issues for a while after the last time I calibrated.
[Captivate Android Development] clocke:
About the battery, I flashed speed mod k13d last night then charged the phone overnight. Now its been unplugged for over 3 hours and is still on 100 percent, and I think something is wrong. I don't want to ruin the battery by accidentally discharging all the way (ruins the battery, phone always saves a little juice to prevent). Any ideas?

Edit: rebooted, now its at 84%. I took a screen shot before though, was kind of cool for a while. INFINITE BATTERY LIFE!

I'm dying to try this rom but my captivate is version 1012 and I've been told that Oden to stock will almost certainly brick my phone. I'm on 3.5 phoenix right now and I pretty much love it (except still some GPS issues and modem weirdness that may be exclusive to just my situation)

What happens if I just install this with CWR?

Anyone with a new version phone on here successfully flashing back to stock or is there a new Odin made just for me?

Thanks for helping me get up to speed on my new phone.
[Captivate Android Development] meyesme:
Having the same issue here and can't figure it out. I've tried different phone.apk files as suggested, different themes, no themes, clean flash w/o any restore of apps or data...etc., and for the life of me cannot get a VM notification or icon.

I got a few questions

What Kernel is on Firefly?

whats the battery life like?

would you recomend other kernel with great battery life and good speed?
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Adam or anyone with the knowledge. If you remember yesterday I said I took v1.0 and removed your kernel and modem and used the cog3 kernel and modem. That worked fine.

Last night I got v1.5 and tried the same thing and could not boot. I was stuck at the Phoenix/firefly boot screen with the occasional vibration. I used the same method as before to replace the kernel and modem, just opened the ROM with 7zip and replaced the files before install.

Is there a reason this ROM may not be compatible with that kernel/modem combo? I tried many times, flash to stock then 1.5, flash to stock then 1.0 then 1.5, etc.

I'm running 1.0 and just removed the kernel/modem from 1.5 and will try to update it that way.

If you have any ideas let me know. Thanks.

[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Anybody ever have that moment of "what the hell was I thinking"? These nonwipe firefly updates ruined me...

I remembered to run TiBu before going to stock, however I didn't think about it being a good idea to get a copy of that folder onto something besides your sd card before you wipe it :o

Oh well looks like I'm going back in time to late February. :(
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
It's the master clear that gets you....I have gone back to stock and never lost anything on the Sd card... come to think of it... I don't think I have ever performed a master clear on my cappy. I have never had a problem flashing.

I usually stay with speedmod, so I don't bother with lagfix. I backup all my crap, always sinc tibu to dropbox (problem solved in case I ever master clear and lose everything) and flash the rom... I don't even bother charging to 100% anymore.. just wipe batt stats and clear dalvik cache as well as cache partition after an install... just for good measure while in there I "fix partitions" and apply root in case it gets lost right after installing the rom... i figure it isn't gonna hurt while I am in recovery. If I am flashing a new modem, that is when I do it too... all in the recovery menu right after a flash... then I start up the phone and watch the magic happen. Never had a bootloop or a crash doing this method.

Moral of the story: get dropbox, it will save your life :) if you don't have one and need it click HERE

While I am promoting dropbox, I have it on my cappy as well. Anything I really have that I think I may need always gets sinc'd to my dropbox account. I have it on all my computers (2 pc's and a laptop) as well as the phone.... anytime I need anything, It's in the dropbox folder... great way to never forget anything important ever again :)
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Yeah I'll definitely look into dropbox, thanks.

I think this is only the 2nd time I've master cleared. My phone was changing settings every time I rebooted, so I'm hoping a stock/master clear will fix it. And it gives me an excuse to try a couple other roms before X's next update. I'm thinking it will remind me how good we got it over here at ff.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
If X gets his surprise up and running (take your time X) it is surely to be a captivate first... will blow people's mind :)
[Captivate Android Development] JSS28:
I love surprises....

extreme, Is there any chance you could add an Airplane Mode toggle in the Notification area instead of Auto Rotate or is this something that can not be modified? I am not sure about others but for those that fly a lot or use Airplane mode to save battery it might be nice to add in. I know I can add a Widget for this but I think it would be nice built into the notification area.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Wifi Issue

I'm having issues (again) with toggling wifi on manually. For the second time in as many days, I've tried to manually toggle wifi on after turning it off, and it freezes.

Most times, it just comes right back on, but yesterday I had to reboot the phone to force it to work right again and in the process got fc's from launcherpro after booting (happened 3 times out of 5-- lots of rebooting yesterday).

Anyway, this time when wifi locked up, I killed launcherpro. When it came back up, I went into settings and turned wifi on (no reboot).

I don't know if this is possible, but is there some way launcherpro could be effecting my manual wifi switch?

I know several folks have had wifi issues recently, and I wanted to associate mine with onix, since the issues seemed to disappear once I installed speedmod, but now, with the growing number of complaints about launcherpro, I'm wondering if it could be the launcher, after all...

So to those who have been experiencing this issue-- Do you use launcherpro?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I use launcherpro... but I don't have any wifi issues. This is with both onix and speedmod. Have you tried using a different launcher and seeing if the problem persists?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I'll try that now and see if I can get it to hang doing random speedtests with it off, then on, and so on.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Well, it's apparently not related to launcherpro.

After switching to twlauncher, I tried doing some speedtests with the wifi on, then off.

This time, I had to reboot it to get wifi to come on.

I sense a full rom flash in my future...

Dang-- And things were working so well for so long!
[Captivate Android Development] jacorso:
Are you using anything else to manage power on your WiFi? I use Tasker to turn mine off when the screen goes off and turn it on under certain conditions. At one point I changed the WiFi sleep policy to turn off as well and that wreaked all kinds of havoc. Setting the policy to always on normaled things back up.

FWIW, I had a lot of wifi problems with Onix and got rid of it as well.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Just an update on the update.

There are quite a few UI changes that I have made to really finish and perfect the look and feel of the ROM.

I am just having minor issues with apktool, so if I am not able to rectify, I will just release what I have got done so far.
[Captivate Android Development] sthodupunuri:
does this rom have fugu tweaks compatibility?
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Yes, the default kernel is Fugu compatible. Also, the ROM itself has fugu built in. Theres an option to disable it as well if you choose.
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
Dont know if it matters or helps but my wifi always wacks out when using the toggle in the bar. Always end up using the setting box. One flash my toggle chose not to work at all.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Fugu tweaks are injected into this ROM and are enabled by default. Therefore it is a part of this ROM. Obviously the kernel attached to FireFly, which is Onix, would therefore be compatible. All this and much, much more information is available in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
clean up. oops.:eek:
