I gave it a shot, but it didn't change it. Still force closing.

Oh well. Considering I've gone for almost a week without even noticing it, I'll just turn off sync for right now and get on with my life. Thanks for all the help, though.
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
Just turn off the calendar sync, the rest should still work. Have you tried reinstalling gmail?

Just to make sure, you cleared Calendar data/cache via the Settings > Applications method? I think there are 2 apps there to clear.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I know it doesn't make much sense, but have you tried flashing the last update?

I'm not talking about a full rom flash, but just the last update. It definitely shouldn't do any harm, and I've found that for the occasional strange, unexplained anomaly, it can somehow "fix" random corrupt files left by a less-than-perfect flash.

Oh no so installed golauncher ex and i restarted the phone but now the keeps looping at the firefly logo! giving people a heads up !!what should i do?!
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
That is strange, installing a launcher should not give you boot loops, at the most, it will give you FC's.

What else did you install or modify before rebooting?
[Captivate Android Development] smanzor88:
the launcher is all i installed and the golauncher contact widget...the phone vibrates as if a app FC's then its loops..

before i installed golauncher i was using launchepro with no problems..need help please

My "calendar storage"keeps force closing.. I deleted the D cache in cwm but that didn't do anything... Any help??

Update: just had to clear all my data in my calender storage..all is well!
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
I would undo what you've done and start again.....

Strange things can happen with little to no explanation .

If you can't boot up try getting into recovery with the button combo, clear caches, or restore your nandroid back up if that doesn't help, if you made one.

otherwise wipe data/factory reset.

Hopefully you have a tibu back up.

Don't know of a simpler solution as it sounds like an anomaly...... Sorry.

You could try clearing cache and dalvik + flash over.

It depends on what will be available in the first gingerbread release for me. If it is no different than FF 3.0 then maybe i'll stick with FireFly for a little bit longer and keep up to date on the changes that the gingerbread rom undergoes.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
Gingerbread ROM

so correct me if i'm wrong but the new ROM that is expected to be released tomorrow is going to be Supernova, Firefly, and Phoenix roms all coming together for 1 rom instead of 3 different ones by Team Phoenix?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I don't know about being released tomorrow.

But the developers of the roms you mentioned all came together to create a new gingerbread rom. Those 3 froyo roms will still be around as well.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
No one really answered this with more than a quick "I dunno, jk4 works well for me" so here goes:

the modem packed with this ROM is jk4. It seems to be very stable for many people, myself included. However, this modem is not the case for everyone. There are plenty of modems out there and depending on location and frequency in the area 850/1900 and signal coverage, you may need to swap out modems. There is no easy way to figure out which modem is better than others. Not every captivate is exactly the same, they all have their preferences. Some drain batteries like crazy on jk4, while others use it sparingly. You will have to flash modems in a trial/error manner. I suggest reading up on modems HERE

I suggest reading every page of the thread, but I know that not many of us do that... perhaps the last 50 would be reasonable. That way you can get an idea of any quirks, the newer modems, the bands they operate on and how to flash them properly as some require a flashing order to enable the 850 band.

Anyways, flash the modem, clear dalvik/batt stats (cuz modems affect battery) and in lbstest mode before testing GPS make sure you clear gps data - you can get to lbstestmode via SGS tool provided in the ROM. Let the modem settle down and give it a day or two before you jump ship to another modem. If you test them out patiently, you will find one that suits you.

Your GPS as well as bluetooth issue should be remedied this way as well. I know some modems don't play well with bluetooth, but I can tell you that the modem thread will answer most if not all your questions.
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Update: clearing the data under "calendar storage" fixed the fc issue with google calendar sync. Thanks will be applied when I'm at a computer. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
I started with the stock JK4 modem, but after doing some reading decided to try JQ1 and it worked for me just as well. Then I switched to KC1, which I am running currently, and have had no problems with it.

I can't comment on the GPS functionality since I never use it. But bluetooth worked perfectly on all modems I have used. I'm on KC1 because it gave me the best upload/download speeds and clarity. But as mentioned, it may be different for each phone depending on location some modems work better in certain areas.

default launcher question

so i decided to try the default launcher in 3.0, want to see if i will save on battery life at all...but i have 2 questions about it that i cant seem to figure out....

1)how the hell do i get rid of some home screens? i cant find it for the life of me lol.

2) is there any way to change the icons on the dock at all?
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
1. Not sure you can do that with the stock launcher. Could be wrong tho.

2. You need to change it in com.ebproductions.android.launcher-1.apk.. Or get someone to change it (Dev). I was actually asking for that yesterday in IRC lol

Although, You could flash a theme and get some different icons.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
I decided to try the same as well. I have Launcher Pro Plus but I think it uses too much memory. I miss a couple things that it provided such as widget resizing and more dock buttons but that's about it since I didn't use the LP widgets much. I do notice my phone's memory always more without the use of Launcher Pro Plus.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Try ZEAM Launcher. It uses less than 10MB atleast 95% of the time. And it has quite a few options present in Launcher Pro.
[Captivate Android Development] peteszcz:
boo to not being able to remove the screens. i was using launcher pro too. wanted to try some new options out. little lazy to change apk. ill try out zeam and the others out there......thanks for the quick response on this
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
Give ADW Launcher a try. You can choose the widget sizes, choose 1-3-5-none for dock icons, resize the columns/rows of the app drawer. And there are a lot of themes for it.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
+1

I use ADW Ex (paid version) myself and I love it! Could be worth a try (free version available as well ;))
[Captivate Android Development] peteszcz:
i must say really seems like many people moved away from lpp. guess i following the band wagon
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
I forgot that I bought ADW EX lol. Still favor LauncherPro over all personally.

[Captivate Android Development] smanzor88:
u think tw4 mod from the galaxy s i9000 works on this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
I was able to say the same thing until about 2 weeks ago when I realized how smoother, less memory intensive and battery conscious most of the other launchers are. Yes I miss screen number control, and the battery hungry widgets but the new found battery life far out ways them.

No joking when I say I saw a 4 hour increase of battery just by switching away from Launcher Pro.

Will I go back? Maybe. It all depends on Fede and if the rewrite ever comes out. Hopefully it will be a little less battery hungry.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
As I mentionned, I'm using ADW Ex and I still get great customization but it's draining ALOT less battery. :cool:

Not that I'm trying to sell it but it does one hell of a great job for the little battery it uses.
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
How is it different from any other launcher as far as battery consumption? I'm not using any of the launcher pro widgets since I don't have the full version so no battery use there for me.

Edit: ment to quote modmyphone, thought I clicked it.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Wahhhh? 4 hour battery life increase by using another launcher besides Launcher Pro? Do you use your phone heavily?
[Captivate Android Development] kingmurry:
yes it stopped working ,cleared cache and dalvik cache flashed upgrade again but no luck
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
I wouldn't say heavy. I do use my phone for work so... phone calls, exchange emails, texts, and the odd web. I am a weather geek, so there's usually some type of update happening.

Prior to switching from Launcher Pro (paid version), I'd get 20-22 hours per charge. It didn't matter if I had the widgets active or not. If I uninstalled/reinstalled LP, I would usually increase about an hour and a half for the particular day. But then right back down to ~21 hours.

With the slew of new launchers out, I figured I'd see what they were about. All of a sudden, my battery life increased. I bumped around a couple different launchers (Windows 7, SPB, Regina and settled on ADW) and ALL had he same battery life increase. SPB was only about 2 hours, but the 7 launcher gave about a 5 hour increase. Most were right around 4 hours.

Threw LP back on the other day for sh*ts and giggles..... 22 hours on day 1, 20 hours day 2.

My best guess is that there is something inside the widgets that causing the battery drain. I would love for Fede to put out a version that is stripped f them completely to test my theory, but don't want to take him away from the "Mythical Re-write".
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Go launcher FTW! I love that thing I found it less laggy than launcher pro
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i see that the thread has been hijacked by launcher talk.

i guess everyone is just waiting for ginger.

i still haven't found a launcher that i truly like.

i like go launcher, but unless someone can tell me, it can't make the widget icons fit properly when 5x5 layout is used. it's still same size as it would be if the screen was set for 4x4.

i used adw for a couple of months, almost exclusively, but it was the slowest.

zeam,,, i want to like it, but i HATE how the dock icons are so small, and the default, and only setting is to have 7 dock icons. you can have less, but it isn't centered. and the dev recently remove the scrollable widget feature.
[Captivate Android Development] Lucke:
flashed this last week after having more and more problems with Cog 4.3.1... LOVE IT...

i've only come across two issues that i find a little annoying:

1. after a reboot, the "screen always on when plugged in" option is always unchecked.

2. plugging it in to charge after shutting it off will just reboot the phone.

neither take away from the overall great experiences, but i found both to be head scratchers...

*edit*

three issues

3. when i plug my headphones in, it will start playing something from the music player... yet there don't seem to be any settings to turn that feature off.

[Captivate Android Development] Pudrow:
First of all awesome rom!

Two things I was wondering about?

I used the 'FF Mods' to flash a battery icon. Then decided I wanted the honeycomb lock screen.

1. When I flashed the honeycomb lock it wasn't on my phone. Is it broken?

2. The battery icon I flashed was gone. Can you only have 1 mod flashed at a time?
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Ugh, not sure what to tell you.

My 1st cappy stopped going in landscape after I flashed Phoenix Ultimate and even after trying 5 million differents thing. still didn't work and I bricked it couple days after so just got a new one through waranty :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
The honeycomb lockscreen replaces the puzzle lock just doesn't rename it in the settings. And since the lock screen is in the framework-res.apk, and so are the battery images,that's what overwrote your battery mod.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Let me guess: The honeycomb flash that u flashed replaced the JARs files in the ROM with new ones. This is something to be careful with. Updating JARs should be done with utmost caution since they can alter the basic functions of ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Oops. 10 char
[Captivate Android Development] Pudrow:
I don't have a puzzle lock on my firefly? And is it possible to have more then one together can I combine them?

Is it bad to flash these mods if they mess with the basic functions of the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
They don't have any .jars in them. You're ok. And it's the orb unlock in the settings I'm sorry.

If you want to combine them you have to edit the framework-res.apk The battery images I believe are in /res/drawable-hdpi Navigate to that with 7zip on your pc taking the battery images from the battery mod and dropping them in the same place in the lockscreen apk.

For some reason my Swype stopped working. When you "Swype" a word it doesn't work and all what happens is nothing. You have to type it manually. What happened? Im on 2.9 and haven't updated anything yet
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
So this might help you.

I have to reinstall swype every time I flash a new rom because none of them has built in portuguese language.

What I do is uninstall it via tibu, delete the files below and reinstall using the swype installer apk available on their website.

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but it works for me.

On system/app: Swype.apk and swype.odex (almost certainly won't be there after you uninstall)

[Captivate Android Development] bnevets27:
I'm going to get flamed/beat to death for this. But actually I have found it to be somewhat true. Let me first say that this happens to me in a very low signal area to begin with. I have terrible signal at home. Example where I am right now, typing this with my phone I have no signal at all. But if I put the phone down I get one or two bars right away. I also find I have a better chance of getting reception holding the phone only by the corners. I don't want to defend the article but that's what I have found. Remember this is in a low signal area. But I'm also sure that to some degree this happens with all phones. Apple did just the worst job I guess.

Since were in a bit of a lull here, thought I'd throw this out. I've searched and can't find the voltage control thread.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Regular voltage control apk is in the onix thread

I stopped messing with oc/uv neither one really did anything. I mean it's the display and the modem/wifi using the battery the most not the cpu, undervolting Imo is just spinning your wheels, and oc only offers the slightest performance boost, and that's at 1400mhz.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
^^^ This.

A "normal" user wouldn't notice much difference with oc (unless you're try to run some crazy games on it or something).

The cpu tries to use as little power as possible, and is way down on the list of battery drainers, so there might be a hair to gain but nothing huge.

In my opinion oc/uv tends to cause more problems then they're worth.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Thanks sent.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Things I noticed that keep the phone at 100, instead of deep sleep when screen is off:

1. Charger is connected

2. Music being played in background
[Captivate Android Development] b0wz:
but then....average users...would be on iPhones..... :)
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Not necessarely, even if your android isn't OC/UV - it's still wayyy more customizable and "powerful" than a Iphone would be ;)

Beside, most of those who don't OC/UV (myself included), don't

need

it. As mentionned, it's mostly used to reach a certain level of gaming and at the cost of stability, battery life. Android is still a phone and I believe it has to work when you need it to :rolleyes:. Beside if I want a great level of gaming, I'll go on my computer or any other console out there that were actually made for that :D

Just my opinion tho :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] b0wz:
True... :) but then i can't leave my computers alone either, they are all over clocked, with exceptions for the laptop (dual boot Vista/linux) but like the comments, it is a hassle, pain in the butt.....but when you hit the right combo, it just feels right, snappy.......then i flash..........start from scratch...I must be an addict.....
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Trust me... You're in the company of other users. :D
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
That's true. I find Android a lot harder to use than iOS. I think the reason why iPhone is so popular is simply due to the fact that it's an easy to use smartphone whereas Android, it's less refined. At least that's how I felt when I first got my Captivate. No I never had an iPhone or iOS device, but I do play with my friend's iOS devices.

[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
I was thinking about that the other day.

Here in Brazil, we don't have that many high end smartphones, so the choice usually comes down to galaxy s or iphone 4. Now, I'd never trade my Cappy, but I'm not that comfortable picking stock touch wiz over ios, specially for users who are not into messing with their phones.

While I do think Android has some great features (notification bar, widgets, google services integration), the custom roms, launchers and kernels are what takes the os to a different level. Ios seems to be a lot smoother out of the box.

What do you guys think?

It's true. Coming off my iphone there is a bit of a learning curve with android. However now I can't go back to iOS anymore. It's too boring :P
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
I had that issue too and the only way to get auto-rotate back was to flash a full version of FF and not an upgrade.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I'm not even talking about flashing our phones with custom ROMs like we do. I guess we're considered power users. I'm just talking about leaving both iOS and Android at or near stock. Android is definitely a lot harder to use than iOS. My mom has a HTC Desire and again compared to iOS, Android just isn't as refined. A lot of my less tech-savvy friends went with iOS simply because it's much more user friendly.

My dad has a Captivate and iPhone 4 and he himself prefers iOS because it's much more user friendly. He's not dumb or not tech-savvy either. He just isn't up to the XDA-Developers "standards" where I guess we can be classified as geeks :p
