OMFG. NO. PLEASE EDIT THAT POST.

You DO NOT WANT to use ROM Manager to flash anything NOR do you want GREEN recovery after you have flashed Cognition. There is a VERY HIGH probability that this will BRICK YOUR PHONE.

Please, can everyone just STOP using ROM Manager AFTER they flash Cognition? It (COGNITION!) comes with a RED version of CWM Recovery that you can access using the POWER BUTTON.

YOU MUST USE THE RED RECOVERY TO FLASH ANY UPDATES *AFTER* INSTALLING COGNITION.

ROM Manager will always try and install stock green Clockworkmod Recovery. This _does not_ have EXT4/Voodoo support. Do NOT use ROM Manager to install, flash, or reboot into recovery.

Note: if you're using speedmod your recovery will become green again and MUST SAY "Speedmod ULFK" at the top or again, you are using the wrong recovery.

In summation: Cognition comes with everything you need, attempting to flash cwm or use ROM Manager to install cwm or flash ANY mods is UNNECESSARY AND HAZARDOUS.

[Captivate Android Development] ctleng76:
You have just summed up how confusing this can be especially for newcomers. CWM, ROM Manager, Red, Green, etc. I have become quite proficient at flashing my phone, and feel I have a fairly good understanding of the process. But this information makes me wonder if I am doing it right. So, do we ever use ROM Manager for anything at all? Is the red recovery the same thing as clockwork recovery? I am now confused.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
when you are on stock and ready to flash the rom lets say cognition you can use rom manager or just the CWM update zip to flash the rom. After the rom is flashed, you dont really need Rom Manager since it already has CWM preinstalled and its red. btw Rom Manager is buggy lately and a bit useless for our phones. If your already on Cog then just use the red CWM no need to install another one
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Boot into recovery using the power menu option with Cog 3.** and perception 10.**, Clockwork via Rom Manager won't work correctly due to Voodoo and the modded kernels with out jumping through hoops.

Cog and Perception are running a modified Clockwork for voodoo compatibility

You want the red recovery mode, v. 2.5.1.3 and then select install zip from sdcard and scroll to the folder you put the file in.

Cog and Perception are set up to do it this way, through the Recovery option in the power menu, doing it any other way is taking chances. Been this way for awhile too.

Hope that clears things up a little. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] LlamaLord:
Yeah cant wait for an update
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
Speaking of confusion...your post says "...it comes with a RED version..." and then "...YOU MUST USE THE RED RECOVERY TO FLASH..."

Comes with red and you have to use red, so what is the problem???

LATER: oh, the "it" you meant was Cog. I thought you meant ROM Mgr ("...STOP using ROM Manager AFTER they flash Cognition? It comes with a RED version...). I see now. My bad.
[Captivate Android Development] Ikonomi:
I'm a little confused with all this red/green stuff. I'm running Perception with SpeedMod K13B, and my power menu recovery is green. I seem to remember it being red when I first installed the ROM, but it's been green for a while and hasn't caused any issues through multiple tweaks and modem/kernel flashes. Does the SpeedMod kernel change the text back to green?

[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
stock recovery is blue

when you install ROM manager and click "flash clockwork mod" it makes it green

(this is still on stock)

when you flash a rom from DG (cog or perception) your CWM automatically becomes RED. It is one that handles the voodoo lagfix.

So. Red is good, blue is bad, green is bad.

The only exception to this is the following:

IF/when you install hardcore's speedmod kernel it automatically changes the CWM back to green.

HOWEVER: the title will say "clockworkMod recovery v 2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK"

if it says "Speedmod ULFK" it is good. It is because you changed the kernel. If you were to flash back to the cognition kernel it would become red again.

These are specially adapted CWM's and the ones that you want to use.

you NEVER need to use Rom manager to reboot into recovery or to flash a backup because it will bork your phone. You can backup and flash recoveries from these specially adapted versions of CWM in the recovery menu.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
JGGW, great explanation! Thanks!

Is ROM Manager good for making any backups BEFORE you do anything to your phone? If so, what?

kernel?

modem?

ROM?

contacts list?

installed apps?
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
If you haven't had inexplicable FCs or boot-loops, or a bricked device, you're probably doing it right :)

If you're on a STOCK PHONE, green recovery is JUST FINE.

If you're on COGNITION (stock kernel), you want RED RECOVERY

If you're on COGNITION (speedmod kernel), you want GREEN RECOVERY that says "Speedmod ULFK" at the top.

Flashing under any other condition is SERIOUSLY RISKY.

Thanks! By "It" in that sentence, I meant COGNITION. I have edited the post to reflect that.

JGGW's post FTW.
[Captivate Android Development] mttfrog13:
So are you guys saying that after flashing a ROM, whether its cognition or serendipity perhaps that we should basically just uninstall ROM Manager?
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I avoid ROM manager at this point so I may not be the best qualified. But as someone wrote earlier in the thread it is buggy and somewhat obsolete at this point for us.

so I will just go down your list and tell you what I use to backup the various things you listed.

backup the phone/ROM: CWM to create/flash a nandroid backup

kernel: SGS kernel flasher - used to backup kernels and flash new ones. I personally just use it for backing up kernels and I flash them from CWM (personal preference)

modem: thus far, I download modems from the modem thread and keep them on my internal SD. If i don't like it, I revert by flashing to CWM. I don't think anyone has come up with a backup program for modems only. I might be wrong

contact list: I have it sync'd with google, that way anytime I flash a ROM I just enable google sync and everything's back

apps: TiBu (premium) if you have the free version you have to install every app one at a time, free version lets you do it in one click. well worth the money, especially for the dropbox sync.

Hope this helps you out Movr

As long as your ROM/kernel comes with a custom recovery, this sounds like a fantastic idea to me.

battery fully charged notification

Hey Guys,

Just flashed Cog 3.04. Im very happy that I finally decided not to wait for ATT to release Froyo. The only issue I have it the "batter fully charged" notification. how can I get rid of this...or at least make it so it does a silent notification. It was silent on my stock ROM. Now its waking up my wife in the middle of the night. I cant put notifications on silent either becuase I need to hear text messages if I get them.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
don't know if it can easily be done, why not change your sms notification to the same sound. that way your wife will think you're getting a text at night :)

I had used ROM MGR to go from stock to 2.3b8 and again to go to 3.04. Right now I checked its RED. So I am good. So next time around just rename ROM to update.zip and use recovery to flash? So did I get lucky ROM MGR worked to update to 3.04?
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
That method is one that isn't talked about much and doens't seem to be a "recommended" method to flash. It is much easier to flash via recommended ways because if you get boot-loops or problems, it is much easier to get a solution for them because when ppl do things the same ways often there are problems that are similar and fixes that are passed down through experience. If you end up getting something wrong it will be harder to troubleshoot.

I would recommend:

Don't rename the rom to update.zip you don't need to. When backing up your files, put a copy of the "update.zip" folder on your pc before you master clear.

If you go back to stock and do your master clear simply drop the update.zip back onto your SD and reboot. It roots and gets CWM onto your phone.

This method enables you to avoid the following steps:

- rooting stock and

- install rom manager and flashing CWM back onto the phone

- rebooting into recovery and selecting "reinstall packages" twice to get to the proper CWM

note: this is just my opinion, in no way is it the best method, just the simplest method I have found in order to have my cappy working top knotch after a flash. I havn't had a brick since my very first flash and I follow my flashing ritual religiously now ... I know what works for me and what makes flashing a 5 minute affair.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Thanks for the info. So the update.zip is the CWM install?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Go to /system/media/audio/ui/ and change the TW_Battery_caution.ogg to TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak and the sound will be gone. You need r/w access to change it, Root Explorer is the easiest to use but you can do it with astro, etc. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
JGGW, would you mind elaborating a bit on your process? I have been reading, reading, reading, reading, and still am unable to put it all together in my head! I think the more I read, the confuseder (new word) I get!

People who already know how to do it just talk in a different language that flash virgins don't understand. I read 'do it this way,' and it is different than the previous 'do it this way' I just read before that. Or, there is something in the description that neophyte doesn't comprehend (like 'go into recovery the normal way')

You seem to have learned/discovered a simple way that is reliable. If you would state your process for doing a first flash on a stock phone, that would be great, and then maybe tell what would be different if you are flashing a phone with Cog already on it.

Pretty please?

[Captivate Android Development] mikegehl:
And here's a copy of my current cheatsheet:

Backup / Prep Phone

•	Titanium Backup (apps + data + system settings)

•	Copy additional folders from internal SD to external SD / [optional backup to desktop]

•	Get new ROM and update.zip (previously created from Clockwork - same file as in step #4 of the link in my preceding post) onto external SD (download on phone itself or mount phone and copy from desktop)

ODIN Restore to Stock and Master / Factory Clear

•	Unplug USB / power off / remove external SD

•	Launch ODIN / hold volume buttons while plugging in (release buttons when AT&T logo displays / Click "Start" in ODIN / [unplug USB and close ODIN when it’s finished]

•	Master Clear: USB Debugging on (should already be) / restart ODIN / plug in USB / Click "Master Clear" in ODIN

•	OR [Factory clear by dialing *2767*3855#]

Clockwork / ROM

•	Insert external SD card / copy the new ROM and the update.zip file from external SD to internal SD

•	Power off / 3-button boot (hold volume buttons while pressing power - release at AT&T logo) / Scroll to and select "Reinstall Packages" (I usually have to do it twice) / Scroll to and select "Install ZIP from SD" - scroll to and select the new ROM / when it's finished (takes several minutes) go back a screen and reboot

•	OPTIONAL: [Copy kernel and modem from external SD to internal SD / power menu – choose "Recovery" / Install ZIP from SD – kernel then do it again for modem / reboot]

•	Delete files from internal (ROM, kernel, modem, update.zip)

Restore Phone

•	Copy data folder with TiBU key from external to internal / change TiBU backup folder in prefs if necessary

•	Batch restore – Missing Apps with Data (may have to refresh TiBu) - NOT SYSTEM DATA!!!

•	Copy additional backed-up folders back to root

•	Gmail and system / app settings

This is my first time rooting, installing a rom, and using the cognition 3.04 rom.

When I did a lagfix for my stock captivate rom (2.1 jh7), my quadrant scores were higher (about 1700). The battery lasts for about 14-18 hrs.

Cognition only gave me 1500-1400. I also think that the phone is significantly more battery consuming. It will only last for 12 hours. I will observe as I continue using it. I did a battery calibration by the way.

How is everyone else's battery life so far? You guys may have talked about it already. Please link me if you did.

I love the whole interface. Thank you for making this possible!

I am loving my android even more.

We don't care about quadrant scores here. It means nothing. Battery life gets better if you switch kernels+modems. I can go 30 hours with my current config in my signature.
[Captivate Android Development] nfs_phone:
I don't think it's anything peculiar to the Captivate. My Motorola V3XX does the same thing. Actually, 3 of those phones come unstuck from the network when left on all night. You don't need to reboot it though. You can just call 611 and wait for the robot to try to engage you. Once she's waiting for you to say something, hang up. Then you'll be registered on the network again.

[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
"My freshly flashed Cognition 3.04(Awesome rom btw) doesn't seem to be rooted (TiBa says Phone is not rooted)? Wondering if there is something I have to enable in the system."

Go into the apps and look for an app called 'Super User'. If this is there, your phone is rooted. When you launch this, under the Apps tab, check to see it Tibu is there and selected.

If it isnt, launch Tibu and look for the text to briefly appear on the screen 'asking for super user permissions' (it will appear only briefly). When it does, drag the notification bar down from the top of the screen and scroll thru the notifications until you find 'Tibu is asking for permission' and tap it, then in the screen that appears, click 'Allow'.

For some reason, the Allow / Decline screen doesnt always appear automatically and you have to go thru the Notifications to get to it.

2. Is there a way to install launcher pro? I want to update it but it won't work it seems unless I uninstall the one already installed.

Try installing ADW Launcher first, then set ADW to the default launcher (after ADW is installed, when hitting the home button you will be able to pick ADW). This should allow you to uninstall Launcher Pro and then re-install it from your backup using Tibu (which will also re-instate your full key so you dont have to enter it again). Alternatively, you can grab Launcher Pro from the Market if you only have the free version.

*Note to DesignGears: This is why the stock launcher should be provided with the rom instead of another.
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
Click on the "Problems?" button at the bottom of the TiBu screen and install the known good version of BusyBox, then restart TiBu. If that doesn't work...

Reboot into recovery, and under "Advanced Clockworkmod features" there should be an option to "Fix Permissions".

If none of this helps... I'm sorry ;)

Superuser Permissions / Titanium Root Rights

So just finished flashing Cog 3.04.

Went to start Titanium to restore my backup files, and got the following error:

"Could not acquire root priviledges...make sure your ROM is rooted"

Went over to superuser permissions, ran it, and the screen stayed black.

Did:

Goto: Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - Menu button - Filter, Choose to show "all" - Find & choose Superuser Permissions in the list - CLEAR DATA.

Went back to Titanium; still had same error.

Any suggestions on what can fix this?

gps on this rocks because of YOU

dg, i updated from 3.02 to 3.04 but was impatient and didn't wait to fully charge my battery. then i went thru so many cycles of charging while on, then turning it off and charging it full along with many battery stat clearings via the recovery menu and deleting batterystats.bin via root explorer. i couldn't get it to go back to normal. everytime i charged to 100 and unplugged it, it would show 98 or 97 and drop a lot faster than usual...

instead of fully charging and reflashing, i fully charged and flashed to diff roms out of curiosity because i haven't seen any recent updates from you (i guess cuz you've been playing with your new atrix toy). di11i's 6.0, firefly 2.2, serendipity 5.10...none of those were even close to how accurate your gps was... i flashed to diff modems too. tljl3, ugjk4, ugjl2, znkp1. nothing. the closest i got was 30m, sometimes 50m or 100m. i unchecked everything except gps. so no sensor aiding or wireless help. i even tried all those modems with flashing to firebird 2 v1.0 on all the roms i mentioned... nothing. other things i've tried was a number of gps fixes including the one in sgs tools as well as the supernova+firefly fix in a recent thread that popped up. no dice. i finally finally tried flashing back to cog 3.04 (LIKE I FREAKIN SHOULD OF FROM THE BEGINNING) and firebird 2 v1.0 and znkp1 [which was the setting i had from the beginning that was giving me kick ass gps]

I dunno why, but with your cog 3.04, firebird 2 v1.0, and znkp1 modem i get the closest i've ever gotten to good gps with my cappy. consistent 10m accuracy in 20sec or less.

i'm located in san diego, ca (mission valley to be specific) and i use a gps tracker for running (endomondo). i'm training for a marathon and when using the other configurations besides this one, the gps would jump all over the place jumbling the mileage and altitude.

i'm glad i read you were coming back for updates since i haven't seen you around in a while. i've never gone to any other roms until this fiasko (been loyal since SRE ;)). but in doing so, i saw how cool some of the other devs themes and such were. hopefully i can get some of those newer type perks in something from you although i know cog is trying to stay as stock as possible.

thanks for all the hard work!
