Thanks guys got it to work fine now
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Having to charge your phone every 4 hours tells me that your battery was poorly calibrated and that the kernel should not have as much of an effect as you think. And that usage doesn't really tell us much. Also keep in mind that EDGE drains a lot less battery than 3G/HSPA/WiFi.

@xtreme. NICE! How does it work though?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I was getting ok, but not great, battery life. Maybe 32 hrs. on one full charge at best. I bump charged and calibrated and full charged and full drained twice but it didn't extend much. I don't mind what I was getting; I rarely (if ever) go a full day without charging my phone. I do, however, sometimes decide to play a game on it for an hour or more. That's when I start losing a lot of battery. I'm on my phone all the time. I'm fiddling with it about every 15 min. or so, at least. Also, I have a decent amount of apps running in the background. Not to mention the 100 or so SMS messages I get a day. So I downloaded the Speedmod K13A 500hz big memory version (because, like I said, I have a lot of stuff going on and I

never

record video with my phone. That's what I have an HD camera for.) transferred it via bluetooth and flashed it with SGS Kernel Flasher. Can't wait to see what the results are at the end of tomorrow.

Also: This is the first time I've used SGS Kernel Flasher, and I gotta say, I really like it. Backed up my old kernel using it and flashed the new one without even having to reboot into recovery. I wish everyone included this app with their ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] neonlazer:
Awesome! Can't wait to try it, I would prefer a horizontal lock vs vertical like in phoenix!
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
Ok, don't know if you have tried this....i have used this when soft bricked and don't remember where I picked this up....

Take out sim and battery (i think just to protect), while holding two volume rocker ends, plug in usb first and then insert battery. I think this basically fakes a jig in a way and forces into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] gv2112:
Great ROM! But, can't find my copied files from PC!

Like the subject says, I am good with everything, but then connected to PC, copied mp3s... but cannot see them in sd or external_sd... what happened? I suspect converting to Voodoo, any help is MUCH appreciated.

[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
will it function simalar to puzzle? :)
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Just a word of warning... You don't want to do a full drain/charge too often. I know sometimes it needs to be done to get your battery meter accurate, but full drain is one of lithium ion battery's biggest enemies. Maybe not all out kryptonite, but definitely at least Lex Luthor.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I have a jig, it goes into download mode just fine, my computer will recognize it in recovery mode, and while fully booted, just not in download mode ;/

Edit: GOT IT WORKING! I just restored my pc to a couple of days ago cause that's the only idea I had left, booted up started odin plugged in my phone in download mode, pc installed drivers automatically and BAM com port in odin :)
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Glad I could help. If you get the opportunity to help out, please pay it forward :)
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I can confirm that the vibrate mode is broken. I currently have my phone set to silent and vibrate is always on in the settings menu. However receive e-mails and texts, my phone isn't vibrating one bit.

I can also confirm that Dark Fire Blue theme undo's the updates applied to FireFly.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Hmmm weird it should be working for texts.for gmail open it up hit the menu key then go to more/settings/vibrate. The text idk what to say someone else had posted earlier with the same issue, weird. Does your phone vibrate at all?
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
Vibrate is fine here for phone & email (Exchange), didn't try MMS. Try cycling the vibrate options in the apps a couple of times, I recall this is what I had to do when I first started using FireFly.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I'm not sure if vibration works with Gmail as I don't get many e-mails there. Apparently vibrate was turned off in the E-mail app despite the description saying "Also vibrate when email arrives". I have it set to always now so let's see what happens.

Not sure if Dark Fire Blue theme has an effect, but it did change my Mms.apk to the standard Samsung one instead of the themed one that FireFly originally comes with. Thus, there is no vibration setting in the settings menu of Message.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Yup, you just slide the circle towards the lock icon.

I am debating on how to release this for FF users. I can make a CWM zip, but it will be for the Stock FF Theme and I know most people swap out the battery icons.

So it is a little bit harder for me to do it for everyone.

This is why I released the files for this in the themes and apps section.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Is is possible to incorporate it into a six lockscreen chooser to be released with the next update? That way it can be selected along with the others and won't mess with battery/theming, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I looked into that 6th lockscreen and it is not a very clean implementation of it in the framework. Plus it is only a themed AOSP lockscreen, there is no new functionality in it. I was leaning towards leaving that out, as it makes it harder to apply the mods I have available.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
What I meant was if you receive a text or call will you be able to unlock and go straight to the app. I love the epic unlock by the way awesome freaking work man :)
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
oic... well if it makes the implementation a bukakke trainwreck then def not worth it. :)

[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
For those with vibration issues, download an app called Sound Manager from the market and turn on vibration in the settings. Should fix the issue!
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Looks like my phone vibrates with text messages whether sound is on or off. Maybe it's an on-off thing? It definitely wasn't vibrating early this morning when I was in class.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Everything works like the puzzle lockscreen, it just looks different.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Voice Recorder for Google Search or creating sms doesn't work

Can someone help me with this?

When creating a text message, there is the "microphone" key which you can press and speak, to generate a message. What is the formal name for this?

Anyways, this used to work for me, but now it gives me a connect failure, even when on wireless network. This used to work, and am pretty sure it worked when I installed FF 1.5. I am still on 1.5. Can someone provide guidance or suggest a string I can google on to try to find the solution.

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Did we figure this out?! Built in screen capture would be cool.

Make sure you have Voice Search app installed. Its by Google.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
There's a built in screen capture service/apk in samsung's froyo but no one has been able to actually figure out how to reliably take pictures or reproduce the fact that someone accidently took a picture. I heard it was something like hold [BACK] then press [HOME]. I can't do it myself.

If you look in the running apps/services, you'll see a screencap service in there somewhere.

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Trying combos for the last half hour... I am giving up now. How does this wizardry work?! Would be great to actually confirm how to do it and get it working reliably. I would much rather it incorporated than having to install an app from the market...although it isn't a big deal to do the latter.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
Clock Skin Opinion?

I'd like opinions on this clock skin. The idea was to get close to the font xtreme uses for the FF logo (this is about the nearest to it I could find) and I might tweak the png's to get closer.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I'm a big fan, simple and at the same time futuristic in my mind... I would flash this in a minute.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
word, it looks very good.

Not something I would use as I like the status bar clock so I dont put a digital clock on the home screen. I do have the honeycomb analog clock there right now though so maybe im crazy, but its there because it looks awesome. Same reason I wear an self winding manual analog watch maybe?!
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Which of the many clocks do you have? I was thinking of getting it but there are so much versions out lol.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
I like it a lot, I would use it in a minute if and when I could get it!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Its this one

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.honeycombclock.clockfree

Looks better than the other one IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
Alpha Blue FW Clock Skin

So, this skin (the image I posted above) is for Fancy Widget, doesn't need to be the Pro version. For those who don't know, all you need to do is drop the unzipped folder in here:

sdcard/Android/data/fancywidget/clockskins

If you don't have that folder structure, you need to create it.

Then go into Fancy Widget's Appearance Settings/Clock Skins and apply the skin.

If I could figure our how to make a flashable zip that would just create the file structure for you and plop this skin in there, I would. Sorry, I'm not that talented.

Anyhow, I've attached the skin, so those who want to try this out can. I've made a few clock and weather skins for Fancy Widget and finally am throwing one out here on the FF forum since xtreme's killa ROM inspired this one.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I just got 13 hours of use with automatic brightness and 3G with around 1 hour of music, 15 minutes of TuneInRadio, a 2 minute 720P video, 10 minute web browsing, and maybe 120 text messages with a total of 5 minute calling. Pretty much the same battery life I get regardless of whether I use FireBird or SpeedMod kernel.

Running consumed 26.3% of my battery while the Screen consumed 17.8% according to the battery history under Other Usage. Then Dialer consumed the most under Partial Wake Usage and Network Usage. As I said earlier, pretty much standard battery life for me >.>

Guess I'll try Suckerpunch next.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
sdcard/Android/data/fancywidget/clockskins

can`t find that folder? Is it the external or internal sd card? Been looking, give me further information please? Also can`t add a file structure like that? Noob here!!
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
From what i can see via different devs and sites this was in place for STOCK 2.2 Froyo, un-rooted, un-rom'd using an included app in SOME phones that Samsung obviously didn't include. What your seeing in services is a COM file (command file I believe) waiting to be activated, which it won't be.

Use Shootme it's foolproof and easy
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
It needs to be on your internal sd card. There should already be an "Android" folder with a "data" subfolder. You will probably have to make a new folder named "fancywidget" in the "data" folder, then in "fancywidget" create another folder and name it "clockskins". Then you drop the "alphablue" folder (and its contents) into the "clockskins" folder. So the completed folder structure should look like this:

sdcard/Android/data/fancywidget/clockskins/alphablue
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Rog, using shootme for a while now. Just trying to see if any combo worked.... mostly out of boredom having the day off lol
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Perfect thanks worked like a charm!!!!

Cannot see files copied from PC??

I have converted from several ROMs, but this is the first time I copied my music to mounted SD from PC. When I go to MyFiles, I dont see them, but from explorer in windows I do..... Is this from partitioning or something? Its just strange to me.

Thanks for your help, and YEA I have searched all over for this issue....

[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Oh nice find. I wonder if it will work on 2.2

Thread: CM7 + Honeycomb Music App = Cloud Music Sync WORKING!!!!!

Info

Mirror/download: mediafire
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
OK, so you're using the stock files app... And you are sure you copied them to the internal sd card, or did you copy them to the external sd card? If you copied to the external card, you need to navigate to the "external_sd" folder and look there. Sorry if you've tried this already, just trying to cover the easy solution to your not finding the files first.
[Captivate Android Development] kornklown69:
It would be pretty sweet if it did...
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
Still absolutely loving FireFly. It's by far the best looking and functioning rom out there. But, I still have an issue with the Armani font choice. It still is not changing the font at all when Armani is chosen. I have a flashable zip file for the Armani font, and it does look much different than Droid Sans. Other than that I absolutely love this rom. Keep up the good work.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
You should try the Font Changer app (by martino and free on the Market). The cool thing about it is that you can load any TTF into it and it will make it your default font. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
[Captivate Android Development] Schmarvin:
Loving this rom. Just switched from cognition 4.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Ya, that option has never worked for me either. You can use Font Changer like Haighter suggested or you can flash THIS. Warning: It will replace your default font to armani.

EDIT: Did a little more reading about the problem. apparently, our kernel's lagfix is the cause of us not being able to switch fonts in the menu. I guess replacing the font directly with the link above or using the font changer app is the only way. source.

EDIT2: attached a CWM font revert if you dont like the armani font replacement.
[Captivate Android Development] howsleyd:
Hey X, I saw how someone commented earlier about how the bottom of the circle battery was cut off. I'm also having the same problem with the honeycomb battery. Its barely cut off so not a big deal, just thought I would chime in.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Ya, those to were giving me problems, I tried a lot of things to fix it, but no dice, so I released them anyway as I know people wont mind it much because you can only see it if you look closely. I will keep at it and update them if I fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I just started a twitter account for FireFly. I will post my progress on next updates and other projects that I am working on like Honeycomb lockscreen, swype themes, icon packs, etc..

Oh and I also like to joke a lot, so I am going to be trying out my jokes there as well..lol

Either way, here it is - Follow FireFly
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Following you.. I am 'xtngsh'
[Captivate Android Development] gv2112:
Thanks Haighter, however, when I look from the laptop, the the SD and EXTERNAL_SD dirs, it says it transfers, but I cant see them from the phone. When I explore from the laptop, I see the files??

So, on the phone, it cant see/play mp3s,etc...I have been doin this for a while (flashing/bricking), and I went from FF->CM7-->Firefly and redid Voodoo . Does that make the partition unreadable from the phone?

How come some files I can see from PC, but not phone (ie recovery->Install zip from card)Thats why I am confused, cuz I see it from my PC but not phone??

I havent had this issue before with prev firefly, Its not the ROM, I am thinking the Voodoo vs Speedmod kernels have created the issue, I had everything the way I wanted, and didnt want to redo all ;) Not enough hours in the night...

It used to be WOW but now my wife is like: "ARE YOU STILL PLAYING WITH THE PHONE??!!!" :))))))))

thx, V
[Captivate Android Development] howsleyd:
I also was wondering about the honeycomb theme in the FF app. It says it is version 0.7 but I noticed there is version 2.0 now. Will version 2.0 not work for FF or has the themes sectioned not been updated?

P.S. I love the app. Coming from phoenix and supernova, its very nice.

I'm not sure what some of the recent posters problems may be, but I can switch fonts no problem. I have a pack of about 50 fonts and they all work. Just F.Y.I. to whomever it may concern.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:

I can also switch fonts no problem. I use the built-in font size changer through the Settings>Display.

Mind you, I only use helveltica and armani, but 99% of the time helveltica, as its the best looking one IMO that isn't over done and still professional looking and legible.

Hi,

I just got a Samsung Captivate today (slightly used bought on eBay) and first thing I did was install Firefly 2.4. Very easy to flash ROM to Captivate compared to Droid X. Especially like that the ROM is rooted. GPS found my location with no problem. So far very happy with the whole process. Now I just need to install my apps and I will be good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Above 0.7 that theme is having issues with black on black text and white on white text, so I have stuck with a 0.7 version which pretty much themes everything except pop up menus and a few other things. The theme maker made some changes that only work on some ROM's it seems.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Can someone help me with this?
[Captivate Android Development] Aron1980:
Xtreme, I just noticed thatmy phone will only wall charge with usb debugging on. It will charge either way from the computer though. Not sure if this was intended or just a minor bug. Thanks for the great work on this ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] quiksandjesus:
I love this Rom! One issue I have found. Ever since updating to 2.4 my headset play/pause control is gone. I have rebooted and have tried cycling the option on and off in Doggcatcher.

Has anyone else found this to happen to them?

[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
Nice Rom! Very clean ;)

[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
Very strange... Could it be that somehow the files are set as hidden? Have you gone into MyFiles settings and enabled "Show hidden files"? Probably won't make a difference, but might as well take a look. No idea why music files would ever be created as hidden files, though. And another stupid question on my part... you did unmount the sd cards after tranferring the files, right? I'm sure you did, I'm just dipping into the shallow pool that is my brain.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Bumping for a resolution.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
The play/pause button on my Samsung earbuds that came with my phone works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Ahhh, I see. I will work on resolving that. I am short on things for the next update. So report all that needs working and I will try my best at it. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] b0wz:
did the update from 2.3 to 2.4 here, and pause play works fine from my bluetooth headset (SD 9's and the SD 10's)

Update, just tested the wired stuff (samsung) and they pause/play just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
You probably know already, but there's a new ver. of SGS Tools out (v4.6.1). Not sure if you want to include that in the next update or not.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Oh yeah, I knew about it, but I forgot about adding it. Thanks for the heads up.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
If people are still having problems with their messaging history not showing contact pictures, I noticed that applying the sms/mms timestamp fix from the ff app fixed that issue for me. Something to look into.
[Captivate Android Development] Tritan88:
The new settings option does stay set through a power cycle. The stay awake when plugged in.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
That's no worky for me. I'll try to update the patch again.

I also notice that when an incoming call comes in, the contact pic does not show up but show up fine in Contacts.

Xtreme,

not sure if I am the only one, but I have not found a way to get a notification tone and vibrate from text messages using the defualt SMS app (receiving calls is fine tho). I have vibration set on always and am not sure why I have this problem. Not sure if this is a bug or I overlooked something but just wanted to let u know
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
That is weird. I would need other FF users to check and report this as well, as I cannot test this. I don't have a text or data plan.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Mine is the same way

I have ththe notifications check box and ringtone selector but no option to select vibration settings. However I do get vibration no problems.

If you can't get it to vibrate, download the Sound Manager app from the market and use the vibrate settings.

i decided to give this rom a try since it was one of the few i hadnt gotten around to... its sweet! very clean and sharp looking, lots of cool add ons too! i was having terrible battery life on the last rom i had tried.. so i decided to go a different direction, im glad i tried firefly! battery did ok.. i made it through the first work day.

i am having a couple weird things happen tho... in the pull down the "clear" button is %*#% looking? the bottom of the contacts button is chopped too, the letters.

but thats all ive noticed, nice work! bt headphones worked great, gps is good... pretty damn good rom!

thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
audience chip support would be great. no issues with voice but i'd be glad to know it's being put to use.

also, does the hacked camera apk or the other stock upgrades from sgs tools offer anything of value to 2.4 users?
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
That's a work around, not a fix. I'm sure Xtreme will figure it out.

Btw, I did just reflash 2.4 after fts/mc as the previous flash was having issues with batt life. Probably too many flash overs.

Why do people always ask for audience chip support for ROMs that aren't based on the att captivate and no source has yet to be released? /boggle
