what was the duration for wi-fi scanning before it was updated to 30 seconds?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
6 seconds....*yawn*..back to sleep (I'll be back soon ;))
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Don't come back for a while...but not too long :P
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
thank you for staying up to get this released. get some sleep so you can work on the next version :-)

thanks again! love it!

With the wifi scan at 30 seconds (rather than 6), do others just keep their wifi on? I have wifi at home but not at work so i use to have "SuperPower" installed but recently removed it to see if it saves some battery. Am I better off keeping SuperPower installed or just leave wifi on since it has been updated to 30 second scans?
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Dude its fast,stable,nice looking,just pure out awsomeness. When it booted up I was actually able to navigate around while media scanning was running. That's not something I've been able to do on any other rom. F'n great xtreme,you sure did a number with this one
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
New settings menu is awesome!

Thanks, X!
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Looks great X! Something I noticed, my fancy widgets clock weather. When I touch the weather in the clock, the detailed weather appears over top of my home screen instead of in a new window. Just to let you know. Looks amazing.

Mine is still showing up in a new window as previously.

Great update X! Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
If you want to maximize your battery life, I would suggest turning Wifi off whenever you are not using it. I personally don't have an app or widget for that stuff. I just manually turn it on when I want to make use of it. With 3G and my data plan, I never max out my data limit so find myself not bothering with wifi 99% of the time. Anyways, that is besides the point, the best batt life you will get is with Wifi off. Keeping it set to "on" will cause further battery drain if you (for example) walking around outside with wifi turned on and not actually jacked into wifi... it will scan at intervals to try and find wifi....just like a modem when out of service.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
Apparently it keeps scanning even while connected.

That's what a little bird told me.

[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
thank you. I turn my wifi on at home because I don't have service in my man cave, where I spend most of my time. Also, I understood that using wifi will maximize battery life more than network data. I have unlimited data so i'm not worried about usage, just trying to maximize battery life and get emails when in the man cave.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
well that's not good if it scans even when connected, there isn't a way to stop that?

my favorite wallpaper is gone! the one with the purple firefly on a black background.

X, is the "Stock FireFly Theme" in "FF Mods and Fixes" for FF 2.9?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
woo hoo!! Downloading now!! Can't wait to try this one out! It has been too long since I have used one of your masterpieces!!

Hmm, wiped cache, and dalvik cache, rebooted, still does it. Anyone else?

[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
If you don't get signal in your basement for example, then it would be better to use wifi or just have the phone in airplane mode so the radio doesn't actually continuously scan for a cell signal....but you can't have wifi on with airplane more...one or the other :(
[Captivate Android Development] :
X you never cease to amaze me with the updates. This update is awesome. Like the new settings icons. love the new boot animation. The entire update is awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
Great update!
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
where are the wallpapers loaded? just in case I have to go hunt down that bruce lee joint it's hot
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
new boot animation is hotttttt
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
I'll try the update again o.0 I had catastrophic failures last time I used one...but it may be because I flashed callrecording someone said. Booted my phone one day and it was frozen solid, every single app was open and force closing at the same time. Had to wipe everything lol. Hope it doesn't happen on this one o.0
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
Nice update X, Great job
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
If you are going to flash the call recording app you have to revert to stock FF theme first or else you will get FC's and other garbage happening. Themes that will work with call recording are being worked on/ported ;) .... I have a good one in the works if I can get it going... by no means am I at nun's level yet, but gotta start somewhere....

Perhaps if X gets around to posting the first theme I sent him ;)
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I just updated the Stock theme package, if you can, please re-download it.

I will actually put up the collection of wallpapers I have for firefly, this way it is easier for everyone to access them

Thank you sir, this means a lot.

when you go to choose wallpapers, the wallpaper chooser on the bottom has all the new wallpapers. Check it out.

Plus, I will put up the collection shortly.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Yea that WiFi sleep time was pretty cool. I hate how Samsung leaves WiFi on even after we turn it off. Wasting battery!

I'm not having any problems with MIUI. In fact I love it a lot more than the stock TouchWiz music app.

What headset button are you talking about?

Didn't you build Phoenix? Why are you running FireFly?! :p

@xtreme. Any framework changes like last time where it requires us flashing a battery mod?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
lol..yes, I will try to get that theme wrapped up today.

Actually, I am thinking to just put it up and then we can see what works and what does not work.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Do it, just mark it as beta and put a warning next to it.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Lol, because this is his masterpiece as well, he is the one who started FireFly.

Oh and no framework changes that require flashing battery mod this time. Everything is good to go right after you update ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Xaroxantu Zero:
I just installed 2.9 a couple hours ago, and now Vignette sometimes causes my phone to freeze up when it initializes the camera or after taking a photo. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
[Captivate Android Development] smanzor88:
sorry this is my first time on firefly and this is my first update...i have one question on the OP it says if we choose the 'update' zip way it say underneath it 'must flash the kernal on your own' or something in those lines..and where do we get the new kernal???TIA
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
It's the eye of the tiger,it's the cream of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger.

Damn straight! This thing is just as ass kicking as rocky!
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
If you're happy with the kernel you currently have you don't need to do anything. You can go to the development section and flash a different kernel if you so choose. Basically he's just saying flashing the update won't change your current kernel.

I've notice this question comes up almost every week... maybe the op needs to clarify it a little better?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Alright have the new update installed... and of course it's awesome. Really liking the new menu icons. So far the only problem I've having is trying to decide which wallpaper to use :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Best update yet! New settings icons are great! Boot animation is awesome! Switching dialers on the fly; sick! As always, you did some excellent work!
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I like that problem...:p
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I created phoenix, fire fly, supernova and fusion. I just passed off fire fly and supernova to nun and X. I just flash the captivated for fun now. I am to busy using Phoenix Evolution on my Inspire:p
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I removed them both for this, although in my case it was the auto-play on BT connect that was annoying. Poweramp lets you toggle that, but neither of those players has a setting for it, it just assumes you want it to start playing. Landscape fail on MIUI too. Perhaps those might be better housed where someone could uninstall them normally, for those poor saps that are trying not to buy Root Explorer.

Upgraded to 2.9 and Speedmod this morning while waiting for the ultrasound appt. Upgrade went clean without any of the problems I had with the 2.8 upgrade. Love the polished, solid feel of FF. Nice work!
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
Nice update X. I think I'm gonna do a fresh flash tonight though after I'm charged up proper. Because:

A) I haven't flashed a rom since I think 2.6 when I came to Firefly and I'm itchin but not leavin!

B) I wanna see the new boot ani and to try out the new kernel. I know I can flash them seperately through the app, but I just feel like flashing something! :)

HOWEVER, I hope I don't lose this: Running 2.8 with Onix 2.01
[Captivate Android Development] factorycell:
Did the update from 2.8 to 2.9 , it did not change to SpeedMod K13E.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Update keeps the existing kernel. Updated kernel is only in full rom.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
The kernel is not included in the no wipe update.

A lot of users have custom configurations with their kernels, so it best to leave it up to you to flash your choice of kernel.

The full ROM FF 2.9 comes with K13E

EDIT: ^^ diablo said it much better
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Are there any other features missing besides the known kernel and boot animation if you just do the update versus the whole whole rom?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
the boot animation is in the update.

you have to flash your own kernel.

And the default wallpaper does not change on the no wipe update. You can find it in the wall chooser.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
The update comes with the new boot animation, If you prefer the original one there is a link to it in my sig, CWM flashable.

Edit: beat me to it X
[Captivate Android Development] :
I love the 2.9 update, thanks a ton for the hard work. I have one small request.

The toggle for the status bar clock, when toggled off (i.e. status bar clock is *not* showing), does not put the clock next to the date/month/year when pulling down the status bar menu. I noticed that the clock was placed here when applying the "No Status Bar Clock" package via ROM Manager.

Could this be enhanced as described in the next update?

EDIT:

Also, the FF Mods & Fixes app is still 1.0 after doing the 2.8 -> 2.9 update package. Do I need to install version 1.5 separately?
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
The original can also be found in the FF app.
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
I used JQ1 with FF 2.8 after 30 hours + I still have 68% battery left. Unfortunately I just flashed 2.8 to 2.9 and the pic show's Unplugged 8 mins back.. But as I mentioned I unplugged my phone at 9am yesterday 4/13 and Now the time is 2.23 PM Est on 4/14. The Flash 2-8> 2.9 knocked off 2%...

I have to say.. I did not reduce the Screen Brightness, But I did not use Internet Much.. But my mails very polling all the time.(Gmail,K9 2 accounts). I played music for 45 min’s (in car), Made about 15-20 min’s calls.., Reddit is fun for 15 min’s. Most of the time it was just lying around…

This ROM with JQ1 got the best battery life ever.. Before It was Serendipity 6.3 but this combination beets all for my Cappy till date.

Edit:

I switch off Wireless when Not in Use

Here is the Pic...
[Captivate Android Development] factorycell:
Thanks for the info, I found the Kernel and updated it.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I am aware of that issue of clock not being next to the date. I will try and see if it is possible to have that with this new mod.

The updated FF app is in the updated package, but if for some reason yours didn't update, you can always grab it from the op and install over it.;)
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Alright, I have a strange request, I don't even know if I should do this, but what the hell.

You know how other ROMs have a full feature list, well I was wondering if someone could compile one for me. I will obviously add more detail to it later, but I need someone to at least start it off.

You can look at the other lists and see what all can be put in.

Once you are done, you can either PM it to me or put here.

Again, this may be weird, but I say what the hell, I am weird.
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
Thanks a lot for the great ROM

Confirmation number: 3DA058188N1395300

Just a small token of Appreciation..

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I'll get things started off...

Features:

Ability to kick your current ROM's ass, steal its lunch money, and send it crying home to its mommy.
[Captivate Android Development] KayvinM:
Thanks for the update, I'm really diggin' the new boot animation. I'll look into getting this done for you when I get some time later. BTW being weird is cool! :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Whoa, don't flash update from 2.8 to 2.9 if you're running the Firebird kernel.

It was stuck on the boot screen.

Fixed with 3 button reboot to recovery, wiped cache, reinstalled speedmod, reboot, crashed, recovery mode, reinstalled speedmod again, reboot, reboot...working fine now.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Fugu tweaks. I do believe that firebird isn't compatible with them. Disable them and try again.
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
I'd like to suggest two features from other Roms that would make this one perfetct: continuous auto-focus for the video camera and the ability to customize the notification bar toggles.

I've no idea if it's possible or feasible to add those features (and I'm in no way requesting them), but one can dream, right?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I can definitely work on getting the camera auto-focus stuff, but not sure what you mean by "customize the notification bar toggles".

In post#2, you can find one mod for toggle.

If you can, give me an example of a ROM that has this.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
One suggestion in case u plan on this: Please keep this optional. Continuous auto focus severely kills battery and I don't think most of the folks would like to have a app that kills battery however perfect it is.

And I think he is looking to change the options in the pull down toggles when he said "customizing the notification bar toggles".
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Good idea, I will put it in the FF app, when I get it working.
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
Awesome!

Yeah, that's basically it.

I saw it on CM7. You can choose different buttons on the pull-down menu. You can add to or replace Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Silent and Auto Rotation with 2G/3G toggle, data network on/off, brightness settings and several other choices.

I didn't stay with that rom long enough to customize it, but it seemed quite useful.
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
Does it give the option of removing the branding from notifications as well?1?:cool:

Would love to get rid of yet another AT$T branding.
[Captivate Android Development] dsmitty166:
Thanks for the hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
How do I get the status bar to show me the date AND time when I press it after I put it in no-clock mode?

That was handy when I was on another desktop or in an app.
[Captivate Android Development] TriC_101:
Hey "xtremekilla09" are you using a GPS fix in this rom? or just the stock Rogers settings?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
hey X regarding camera focus... can you do anything about this?... my post from earlier today. its not firefly specific but you could fix it..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035433
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
Not sure what you mean here. I don't have any branding on the notification menu.

Maybe it's because I flashed stock rogers before flashing FF or because I use a different carrier from At&t (Tim Brazil).
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
yeah thats not branding in the notifacation bar. thats your phone telling you what carrier your sim has you connected to. take out your sim and it will say "no sim" there instead of ATT/ or whatever.
[Captivate Android Development] Kakashi28:
x, do you have the link for SpeedMod K13E? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Johnnie5000:
That should be the first line.

Yep, did it this morning and looking good. Bluetooth hooked right up, using Sony Ericsson launcher and TiB put my settings right back...all in all everything is WINNING :p
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
Yes, I'm very aware. Still AT$T branding none the less (network/device). Back in my WinMo days, I had it so it showed either graphic/no graphic or hid it all together. Bad enough it's laser etched under the glass.

Speaking of themes, I just installed R64 with animations. However, I don't know if need to enable some stuff thru prefs, etc, but I'm not seeing the full changes (i.e. different font, the five-icon "dock?" at the bottom, task manager (widget?), that transparent calendar event list widget thing.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
Completely unrelated to firefly... but everyone here is nice...

If i buy an app on one version of a rom, how do I get the paid version back?
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
The simplest way is to back it up with TiBu. If you don't do that, when you go into Market it will show as purchased and you can just redownload and install it
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
i'm confused by this question. I just tried sending a message to multiple ppl and it worked fine...you have to input the number of the next contact because there isnt a simple *check box* by the contacts. hope you understand what i meant.
[Captivate Android Development] godzulu:
Does anyone know how to get the black mms apk? Searched but did not find
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:

[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:

[Captivate Android Development] g1ddy:
update from 1.0

Adam I thought you said you were going to work on making incremental updates so we don't have to wipe our phones all the time you update-a-holic

Do you use a git repository to keep track of your changes? That would probably make creating update files a lot easier since it keeps tracks of your changes for you.

Why Captivate hasn't gotten Froyo

Market place issues

this rom is working great except for one glaring issue

When I try to download anything from the market it downloads but then never installs the application

I've tried

Rom Manager

Voodoo app

MSNBC app

Nothing

I did the full cycle

ODIN, Master Clear, Root, Flash

I use titanium backup but I only restore missing apps

Any ideas?

Nevermind clearing the market data fixed it

Sorry

Great rom I love it.

[Captivate Android Development] djnoicatse:
How about thin green battery indicator from MIUI? The one that stretches across the top part of the notification bar. That would be insane if you can implement it X!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
If I could make another suggestion (again, not as a request, but in the spirit of improving an already great rom), another feature I found interesting on CM7 was their modified extended power menu.

If I remember correctly, they group reboot, recovery and download and add a profiles option. I never got around to customize it before reflashing FF, so I don't know what each profile covered (probably ringtone, media and incoming call volumes, maybe BT, wifi, 3g status?), but it could be very useful.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
It would be really helpful to provide a link/screenshot when mentioning like this so it could save some effort searching for it, esp for people on phone.
