X, was the different dialer in the april fools update on purpose? Also I found the contact list had the letters on the right hand side as well. I don't recall seeing them there before...
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
lol, i knew something was fishy.

i thought that it was strange that the new update wasn't added to the ff app, so i didn't flash it.

An I the only one who thinks this alone is worth an update? Hell I say make it 3.0!

Miui Music

Made a very minor change to Miui Music just to put a FF logo background... if anyone is interested. (I like to go through and theme my apps) :)

Replace the miuimusic.apk in /system/app with this one http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9116714/MiuiMusic.apk

If you replace this and have a widget on a screen, just remove it and re-add it.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
Very cool.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Ya, I used the old framework on that. My laptop is a mess...lol

I think you will like the fine tuning and polish I have applied for the next update.

I fixed the ugly green that used to popup while using the browser address bar or market search. About 85 other files, that really pull the look together imo.

Actually, I did put the dialer in purposefully. I really could not give you guys a worthless update. I had a lot of people tell me that the S.E.X.Y. Dialer colors were too bold, etc, etc. So, I toned it down a bit (I hope).

Did not change the contacts app.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
I liked bold & sexy! Keep it available imo.

On another note, i went to Speedmod K13D kernel. Onix started causing issues including the buzzing hone button. Funky battery activity, freezing apps and apps suddendly stopping and closing. I was using onix no uv/oc. Much better so far, battery 73% after 18 hours uptime.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
I cant get any barcode scanner to work. It vibrates twice and force closes. Any one else? Is there a fix or can I reinstall something? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Works fine for me. Uninstall it and reinstall.

Maybe it's just me but has anyone noticed the "BACK" button (that is on the 4 buttons at the bottom) doesn't seem to respond well sometimes?

I have to press it a couple times sometimes to get it to go back.

On FF2.7 w/ Onix 2.0.3 w/ 1.2ghz and UV
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Nope I thried SGS Tools and got the same results.... I can open the barcode apps and right when it tries to open camera it vibrates once the a few seconds go by and vibrates twice and says:
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I've had my home button go crazy on me, my back button not work, and the search button decide to press itself on numerous occasions. It's not uncommon if you search for the symptom on most captivate forums. It's a hardware issue... but if you don't have time to send it back for repair then you learn to live with it... though it can make you want to throw it against a brick wall at times.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Did you by any chance try another email apk?

If so, try restoring email.apk
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Yes I used the SGS "Email app from Galaxy Tab" Ill revert and post back the results...
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Here is the results:

I reverted back to stock email and now the barcode scanners work! Why is that? Man I really like the

Galaxy Tab email too.. Is there anyway you can fix it to work? Thanks xtremekilla you the man!
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
It looks like X has come down with his first commandment:

Is this rom compatible with UOT Kitchen?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Unfortunately no, I gotta figure out how to make it compatible. That would really ease the load on me.
[Captivate Android Development] eureb:
is there anyway to uninstall the version of Spare Parts that came with the ROM? There is a new version (or at least one that has more features) on the Marketplace, and now I have 2 apps of Spare Parts...

I tried to uninstall the one that came with the ROM, and I just get a message saying "uninstall unsuccessful"
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Ya, I know I hate that dependency too, I want to get rid of it also.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
That is for sure, I have been on Continuum for the last little while and it is nice to cook some of my own stuff.....make it happen X!!!

Thanks! I always forget about everything TiBu can do, haha
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Hey X, try pushing this to /system/lib, I remember hearing that libcamera.so was what broke barcode scanner when you remove Email.apk. This is the one that comes with Serendipity which I am currently running without any Email.apk

NOTE: Do not try this unless you know how to revert back if it doesn't work. I have not tried this with Firefly.

what r the battery tweaks except battery calibration and wiping battery stats...I flashed this yesterday and I am having awful battery....I came back to Froyo from CM7....for good battery..so please help

Edit: i am using Speed mod kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
If you're using Speedmod, you should ask about kernel questions in the Speedmod thread.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
But I always used Speed Mod kernel with every ROm and got good battery life. I dont know how to OC/UV and my phone was getting switch off so much with Onix kernel and battery was still bad, so I changed it to Speed Mod.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
If you have already calibrated your battery by charging with it on, then off, then off again and wiping battery stats, let the battery drain all the way down. I read that somewhere and I think it may have helped my battery life by letting the battery charge all the way and then drain until it shuts off.
[Captivate Android Development] HDMitch:
I have never had great battery life with any of the ROM's I have tried until I found this thread on the HTC Droid Incredible forum and used its bump charge technique.

"Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing)"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871051

Wipe your battery stats before turning your phone off.

With normal use I am at 2% per hour, when then phone is idle say when I am sleeping it is less than 1.5% per hour. Mileage will very since the number of application combinations we users can create are endless but it worked very well for me.

Let's see, normal use for me is checking my email once per hour, 10-20 text messages per day, scanning through my tweeter account a few times, and a couple of short phone calls. Play a game and all bets are off!! :D

[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Wi-Fi is still not turning on for me once I turn it off by settings or pulldown buttons.

If I kill Facebook and/or SnService apps it will help to get wifi going, but not a second time it seems.

I upgraded to speedmod k13d but no help.

I was having this problem on stock Rogers 2.2 also.

Any ideas how to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Get Onix v2.0.3 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
That was an extremely enlightening post. I've let my batt go dead a few times, perhaps 4 or even 5. In light of what I've read and the supporting research, I think I'll do my best now that I'm getting great uptime, anyway, to keep the phone charging when I have opportunities to do so (in the car, at work, at home).

Thanks for sharing that!
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Better SD cards for better phone performance

I know this is probably just stating the obvious, but I had to share with you guys how much my performance has increased since switching out my SD card.

I was getting launcherpro fc's about once in every 3 reboots. I figured it was just the processing resources being hogged by media scanning after starting lp, and I think I might have been right (or at least partially right), because as soon as I swapped my old class 4 SD card out for this MUCH faster class 10, the media scan takes a little less than half the time it took before and I have yet to get a lp fc in 4 or 5 reboots (experimenting).

Anyhow-- I really wanted to share that because I know there are many here like me trying to figure out how to address the issue of fc's on started apps while media scanning just seems to go on and on, allowing other started applications to stall while it takes its sweet time. I'm no different from anyone else, and I sometimes forget that I have the option to upgrade at least 1 or 2 elements of hardware that can seriously improve performance, this being one of them. I ended up replacing a class 4 8G with a class 10 16G (both Patriot, my mem of choice).
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Mind sharing where you got the memory card from? I'm trying to find a class 6 or 10 micro sd but I can't seem to find any to replace my 16gb class 4
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Sure. I ordered it from newegg for $35 US (free shipping).

I flashed cognition 4.3 the other week and now I kinda wanna find out what this rom is like. Is out the same process as the cognition rom? which I heard was the easiest. What should I know if anything is different?
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
The same process doesn't tell us much dude...all we know you could have put the phone on the ground and done a rain dance hoping cog 4.3 landed on your cappy.

If you are referring to either using Odin 1 click brick to stock, then flashing cog 4.3 over that then you can do that, you don't have to do to go stock anymore. Just turn off voodoo lagfix that comes with the cog kernel by opening up the voodoo folder and putting in a folder named "disable-lagfix" (without quotation marks) you can do this with Root explorer or another similar program... remember to be in r/w mode to do this.

once the voodoo lagfix is disabled you can put FF 2.7 FULL VERSION (not the update version) onto your SD card and flash it using CWM recovery.

If you are still having questions about this then you should probably read the various helps on how to flash a custom ROM. You should probably read threads on how to unbrick a captivate cuz it sounds like you'll be screwed with a capital S if you mess up a flash.

It is just my two cents but if you were asking the question that you quoted then you probably need to do some more reading....Read twice, flash once....flashing without reading makes for a bad day.

good luck

note: if you look into my sig you can read the step by step hand holding guide for flashing a rom for noobs
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
You actually don't need root explorer or be in r/w to disable voodoo. I always just created the folder with "my files" and it always worked.
[Captivate Android Development] sthodupunuri:
will wiping battery stats improve my battery life. mine is pretty bad right now
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I've done it this way in the past before and it does work. The thing is that you still have to reboot in order for it to convert back (therefore disabling the lagfix) anyhow, so you may as well just do it in recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I don't know. Probably. It couldn't hurt in any case.
[Captivate Android Development] loganpimpman42o:
Do you even have to disable voodoo odin should erase everything and restore to stock ,kernal and all so if voodoo is enabled ,once odin starts it won't be enabled for long I have never disabled voodoo changing roms and I have never bricked or anything I really think its not a big deal but hey could be wrong
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
If you're using odin every time then there's no need to disable lagfix. However what he was saying is that you don't have to use odin every time. The general rule of thumb now is try flashing a new custom rom on top of your current one. If it works (which in most cases it will) great - if not, flash back to stock. If you are switching between a voodoo lagfix and a speedmod lagfix it is a good idea to disable the lagfix first just to be safe. Although I can say I have skipped the disable lagfix step before without any problems (but you've been warned....)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
If you're flashing a Voodoo lagfix enabled ROM over a Voodoo lagfix enabled ROM, then you don't have to disable it first. If you are flashing a ROM with another type of lagfix (ex. Speedmod) over a Voodoo lagfix enabled ROM (or vice-versa), it's generally recommended that you disable the lagfix first. Especially if the new ROM enables its lagfix by default. You can just flash over whatever with whatever if you want and there may not be any problems, but don't say you weren't warned. Obviously, if you flash back to stock using Odin, you don't have to disable anything as it's cleared anyway. This is especially true if you master clear.

Edit: jde894 beat me to it, I guess. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] sthodupunuri:
do u have to do the charge cycles listed in the directions when you wipe battery stats or is there a file you can delete?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
There's instructions on how to wipe battery stats on the front page of this thread. Third post down.
[Captivate Android Development] sthodupunuri:
when it says do stuff when the battery is fully charged does it mean the second the battery hits 100% or can it be a short while after the battery gets to full
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Ok I see a couple of you saying to disable voodoo by dropping the file, am I the only one that does it in cwm?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
It's best to let it sit and continue to charge after it hits 100% because sometimes it can say it's full but not actually be. Especially if your battery stats are off.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I always use CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] loganpimpman42o:
ya okay ic what your saying now to disable voodoo if flashing over an existing rom, i always flash with odin didnt think it was safe to flash roms over rom anyway i guess a guy learns something new everyday lol thanks for the feedback
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I find that by flashing the SD read/write speed fix I mentioned earlier, media scanner runs faster and speeds up my phone quite a bit. It's said to affect only external SDs, but I feel it affects internal SD as well. Though the benchmarks using SD Tools says it doesn't affect internal SD.

As for using the phone within the first minute of boot up, don't even think about it. I find it best to give the phone a minute or two to load before I try using anything.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I said it that way because I havn't run a voodoo injected kernel in months so I was going from what I remembered off of the old ways. Makes sense to do it in cwm if the option is there of course.
[Captivate Android Development] bnevets27:

I just tried the sdcard cache size modification (went from 128kb to 1024kb) and the media scanning / access seemed improved. Haven't tried any standard testing to show numbers. I think it's worth adding to the next revision.

[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Did you use 2048? or 4096? I am trying to gather data on how each cache size performs on different SD cards. This will help me decide on the value I cook into the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Hmm I thought charge death was a problem with Onix? I need a reliable alarm to wake up. I remember reading about the issues in this thread when X made the change.

Speedmod k13d apparently tried to fix this issue it seems? So it's not a ROM issue but the kernel for sure then I guess.

Samsung Captivate Test results.. manual edit of settings. havent rebooted yet

will try create script method first. as i have read CWM method doesnt work for SGS phones.

UPDATED: after several reboots and methods

Now i have tried the

99sdcardreadfix method 1 from OP (captivate system doesnt have method 2 setup)

with the script fix quoted above.

STILL WONT SAVE.. any help?

tried zip method too anyway.. no change..

can we delete or change the default or .bak file that it creates when we edit the file in 179.0 folder..?

is it the same folder on cappy?

and what is the difference between permissions 777 and 750? and why can i only get checkmarks?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Yes, several users, including myself and the kernel's designer have had that experience, yet there are several who haven't, as well.

I use speedmod and haven't had that problem since.
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
I also only get ck marks. Phoenix thread has a couple different setups. Some reports that it won't work unless it reads"99sdspeedfix"
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
I am trying a couple of things. I'll let you know if I find a way to make it stick on ff.

The 99sdcard name is to ensure the order of execution.

As for permissions, the numbers are for user (in this case system user), group (usually the users defined on the system), and other (un-authenticated users). 7 is execute permission, 5 is read only, and 0 is blocked. Generally speaking you do not want the last digit 7, it opens your phone to attacks (gives web pages and apps option to modify and execute system level actions)

Sent from my captivate running the latest firefly

EDIT: The actual permissions are set by

4 = read (r)

2 = write (w)

1 = execute (x)

0 = no permission (-)

This means that 5 is read and execute, 7 is read write and execute. My comment on 7 still stands, it is generally bad to have write permission to the system files
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I would say an overwhelming majority of users do not have charge death issues with Onix. A few have, but they've also reported no problems with older versions (v2.0.1 & v2.0.2). I for one have never had a charge death with any ROM/kernel combo (knock on wood).
[Captivate Android Development] ctleng76:
Hopefully someone can help with this. I installed the Honeycomb theme from the FF Mods and Fixes app and now the haptic feedback on the home button is not working. In addition to this the buttons no longer light up when touching the screen. I have tried installing the original firefly theme, but it doesn't seem to change anything. In fact after installing the original theme, the honeycomb theme still persists. The only suggestion I have found is to "Configure it manually...", which doesn't help me much.

How flash this ROM

Hey Guys, I am a newbie at this. Only flashed a 1 time with ODIN.

DO I flash this ROM using ODIN, if so, do I use the PDA or PHONE button's to load the zip file?

If not, which other program/steps do I use?

Is this the procedure I need to follow to install firefly1.5,zip

1. BACK UP!!!

2. Use Odin One click to Flash Stock

2a. Wait for it to reboot and then re-enable debugging, hook phone back up to pc and Master Clear

3. Load Clock Work update zip (attached at end of post) and new rom file to Phone memory

4. Remove sim and external SD, and unplug from USB

5. Boot into Recovery and reinstall packages (You may have to reinstall packages twice to get to clockwork recovery)

6. Once in Clock work recovery (Green Text) Select install zip from SDcard

7. Next Select Choose zip from sdcard

8. Scroll down to Phoenix2.x and select.

9. If prompted on reboot to select an option choose with backup and restore. (for auto lagfix)

10. Let it finish and dont touch it till you see the launcher screen. Will this take awhile? YES
