I've never had more than 3 hours screen on, 2.5 with angry birds. Wow.

Sent from my captivate running the latest firefly
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
No no, I never played 6 hours of angry birds. 6 hours was just my display time, most of which was the XDA app.

It seems to me, I may have hyped this too much. Lets hope you guys get some similar results or I am gonna look like a jackass.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
lol.

The XDA app using dark theme would be pretty light on the battery, so yeah I doubt 6 hours of a game is realisic. :D
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
So are the beatles, but they're still one of the greatest bands ever. (just sayin)

Yeah, I assumed there was no way you did angry birds 6 hours. But even a few minutes seems to kill my battery. Plus it seems like i remember you saying you dont have a data package, while I'm on 3g most of the day, so that starts me out behind the 8 ball.

Questions (sorry if this has already been addressed):

1) Has anyone noticed that when the alarm goes off, the snooze button (slide android-type) is missing and does not allow snooze, but only turns off alarm?

2) Does this ROM come Deodexxed? (spelling)

Thanks in advanced. Will try posting in the Q and A as well.

i'm having an issue with my sound setting.

after re-boots, phone ringtone and notification ringtone sound settings don't stick.

is anyone else seeing this issue?

edit: turned out to be an issue with Phone Weaver profiler app.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
That is true, I do not have a data plan. So I guess it does give me an upper hand in battery life than others. Oh well, I am happy with it.

Have not experienced this yet. It happens on every reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
2. yes this ROM comes deodexed
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
ya, it started after i went from 2.5 to 2.6.

at first i thought maybe i was going crazy, which is usually a good explanation for many things, but it's happening with every reboot. a little strange and a little annoying. amusing, even. :)

X have you noticed a difference in smoothness using the 100hz kernel?

I'm trying#59 now and battery life is better (even oc/uv) as well as the signal.

But not quite as stable....for me.

Existz is soon to release onyx 2

Hey X, I have a question, a couple folks have been asking about the Crysis theme, over in the Themes thread, it's JS5/7/8 based. You think it'll work on FF? I just didn't know what you have FF based on, I know it's Rogers. But for the life of me I couldn't remember
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Ya it works, but there are still a few things that need work on it.

Simply put, I tried it and it worked and looked awesome. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Yeah, I think so too.

I just saw in the OP, is FF still JK4?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Yes sir, so far that has been the most effective modem for everybody.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I've tried most of the new ones that have come out since JK4, and some have been ok, some have been total crap. But nothing is coming close to JK4
[Captivate Android Development] DigitalEagle:
I kinda ran into this problem once myself. It seems it all came from Handsent after they added a custom ringtone player to sideline their app and restoring it from Titanium Backup. It kept overriding my ringtones. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, fixed it. Made sure to choose android system default and not the Handsent one when it pops up asking which one to use.

Maybe not your issue at all... but that exact same thing happened to me, on every reboot system sounds were gone.

Another thought... i

If you're using any sounds off of your SD card... make sure it's not having trouble mounting or something. (i.e. slightly loose )

Just want to come and say thank you for this ROM. I went from cog 3 to this. And I just recently tried most of the other roms and was happy when I came back to this one. I wouldn't mind a few more features, like call recording. But I am enjoying this ROM.

Thank you team firefly
[Captivate Android Development] gautaml:
Couple of questions:

Very n00bish but I take it that Odin is only required for flashing it back to stock and isn't even required for the actual flashing of FF. That is the flashing of FF is simply done using CWM and Firefly-2.6.zip copied to the root of the phone and installed via the recovery console.

And secondly any reason to wait for 2.7?
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
That's correct. You only need cwm to flash ff.
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Odin isn't a requirement to flash FF. Some like to flash to stock & master clear before flashing a new ROM. I only flash to stock if I run into a problem. So, the steps you can take are:

copy update.zip to your phone

boot into recovery and reset to factory, wipe cache & dalvik

copy ROM zip to your phone

install via recovery

enjoy!

Make sure to back up your apps prior to all of the above.

Waiting for 2.7 is up to you. You could flash 2.6 and then easily upgrade to 2.7. X releases updates on Thursdays.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Even though I don't typically even reset to factory, I'll say:

+1
[Captivate Android Development] MobileNick:
Quick question. I first installed FF 2.2, and since then I've been doing only the updates weekly so I'm at 2.6. I'm still showing Speedmod K13B. That's how it's supposed to work right? That if I want to try out a different Speedmod or Suckerpunch I should flash separately?

Or will it be possible to do a 2.6 -> 2.7 upgrade that includes Suckerpunch #58 or #59?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
You will need to flash the kernel separately. If you get sgs kernel flasher from the market, it's real easy.
[Captivate Android Development] k2ham:
Will the 2.6 to 2.7 update zip take care of the kernel change or will that be separate?

Also, when doing the Thursday updates is it recommended to reset the battery stats?

Thanks.

Yes I recently ODIN flashed to stock 2.1 (Rogers) and will SuperOneClick it before doing the CWM + ROm flash.

[Captivate Android Development] DON2003:
great Rom, switch from another which I have problem with fast battery drain, looks like FF is much better than my previous one,

after I flash via CWM, I have also enabled fugu, anything I should also do?

in CWM, i got a green screen and checked, lagfix is disabled, should I enable it? any other thing I should do or enable or disable? btw I also enabled the BLN, is it ok?

many thanks for any comments, again more power & thanks for the great rom
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Fugu is enabled by default, bln and lagfix are entirely up to you and won't hurt anything either way, if you start to noticing lag, boot into recovery and enable the lagfix and also convert system to ext4 also go to the tweaks menu and select everything with an (r)

Mobile AP shortcut/toggle?

I installed Firefly 2.6 on a buddy's Captivate and he loves it. One thing I am trying to figure out for him is if there is a way to add a home screen shortcut or an on/off toggle for the Mobile AP that turns the phone into a wifi hotspot. Any info or guidance is appreciated. Thanks

damn, i got all excited when i saw your post.

Well it sucks being in Canada for the daily free app from Amazon apps. Not available to us. Then again I did get Amazon mp3 working by dropping it into the system folder. Looking forward to 2.7 X! Hope my battery life gets happily extended too.

So what is in store for 2.7, X?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Good question. I am in the process of thinking that out as well.

I just updated my dialers, I am working a new battery mod for FireFly (thanks to you ;))

I know there were a few things like the new dark MIUI music app and ummm.....?

I'll have a more comprehensive list later in the day.

[Captivate Android Development] cpenticuff:
I use "Wifi Widget" from the market. The widget is butt ugly, but it is free and works well.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
You shouldn't have to reset battery stats for these updates. I haven't done it through 3 updates and continue to get stellar uptime per charge.

As for the kernel change, I really don't know. I always used whatever kernel came with the original rom.

That said, xtreme has this in the original post under 2.6:

I have to assume you will be expected to upgrade your kernel to the suckerpunch #59 (isn't that the one x is building the next release on?) using sgs kernel flasher or the zip file from the suckerpunch thread here.

That, or you can always just do a full install of 2.7 when it comes out instead of an upgrade. That would include the kernel that the release is based on.

I'd rather defer to one of the more experienced flashers (taken out of context, that really sounds weird...) to address which version of suckerpunch to flash.

Obviously, xtreme will be able to tell you precisely which version 2.7 will be based on. I do know it's not supposed to utilize voodoo lagfix, so I'm waiting to get the precise version, myself, before I change kernels.

Hope that helps?
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i should note that recording does not work for bluetooth, but that's pretty minor.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Now that there are a lot more developers working on FireFly and know how to help out and stuff, does anyone think you can change the SMS time stamp so that it shows the time the SMS was sent instead of the time it was received?

Reason I'm asking is because I installed FireFly 2.6 yesterday on my reconditioned Captivate that I got from Rogers (testing to see if I can use my network) and well as always I forgot to apply the SMS time fix CWM file. I noticed that while my phone was off when I was sleeping, I got a couple text messages and the SMS time stamp said 2:36am, which means around 6:36am or 7:36am. I didn't turn on my phone till 9am, so that tells me there's a chance that the unfixed SMS time stamp can show the time SMS were sent and not the time they were received.

Oh and after applying Dark Fire 5.1, I went back to the stock theme and Swype kept on FCing, causing me to reinstall FireFly 2.6 again.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Anyone acttually read the Suckerpunch/Onix thread? Exits recommends staying away from SGS kernel flasher as it can potentially bork you in some cases...

With all that is going on, I would def flash via CWM. No need having kernel panics and all sorts of crap like that on the off chance the kernel flashes messes up. Dunno why, but after reading the suckerpunch thread in its entirety it started to annoy me to hear ppl flash with the flasher then whine about problems.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Fair enough.

I'm probably confusing SGS Tools with another standalone app called SGS Kernel Flasher, anyway.

I just downloaded the kernel using SGS Tools per existz own starting post in his suckerpunch kernel thread here.

I intended to flash using cwm, just as I do the firefly updates.

Sorry about the confusion...
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Well most people don't have time to read through 300 pages of posts. I always read the OP and the last few pages, as that should contain the important things to know. Personally I've flashed many times with the app and never had a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I'm still gonna wait to flash a kernel, though, until xtreme replies with the specific kernel ff 2.7 will be based upon.

I like what I've read about both speedmod and suckerpunch, so I'm willing to follow xtreme's architecture and the majority preference.

Right now, I'm on speedmod k13c 500hz #28, and I'm very satisfied. I will, though, either update to k13d or try suckerpunch, as I am experiencing the minor issue with toggling wifi, which hardcore knows is an issue with k13c.
[Captivate Android Development] SeriousBizznass:
Has anyone else noticed the battery not reporting proper charge numbers after swapping themes?

I'm a software developer by trade, and if theming works how I think it works, this shouldn't be possible at all. I'll be damned though, all weekend I was stuck at either 62% or 1%.

Makes no sense at all.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I am currently on SuckerPunch right now, will be testing Onix and then see what I go with.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Yeah, that's probably a good plan. Honestly though I don't think you can go wrong with either one, basically you have to decide if you want to go with a super awesome one or an extremely awesome one.

I use to flash stuff as soon as it came it, but now I try to sit back and wait a day or two and let others be the guinea pigs and report what they find (with ff being the exception, i flash that shizz as soon as it comes out). For example people were saying that speedmod k13a was having better battery life than k13c, so I decided to stick with 13a. (i've since gone to suckerpunch).
[Captivate Android Development] bnevets27:
I just noticed that a little while after when I was browsing the mods/fixes app.

Keeps getting better!
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Speedmod k13d is working well for me! Also I am using serendipity's mms.apk as I like the "me" and"you" style, however when I get a message my phone no longer lights up. Is there any way to fix this? And no I don't want to use bln... :)
[Captivate Android Development] bnevets27:
+1

For the sent time. I much rather see the sent time. If my phone is off or I don't have signal and I miss some messages, when I get signal back I will get a bunch of messages with the current time. Not very help on determining if the message is still relevant, they could have been sent the previous day. My old "dumb" phone would show the sent time if you went into the messages details, very helpful.

As for small improvements for firefly. I think the gingerbread keyboard should be themed to match the rest of the theme. Green space bar and green prediction text. Green for the artist names in music player. I would love a transparent notification bar, completely transparent, like it is not even there. Can the provider be removed from the notification drop down? I don't see any need for it.

I personally also prefer the dark gmail and market themes but they aren't too difficult to find and replace.

Oh, one more thing, have the extra fonts as an add-on and not install them all by default, they are a bit annoying to have in the app list.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
I found these themed gingerbread keyboards here on xda search for them on the themes and apps section for the captivate they are pretty sweet man. I can't remember the name off the top of my head I will give you the link when I get home if you wish
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
I'm not sure how other uses feel about, but I'm alone, then it's okay :p.

The sliders for the AOSP unlock, and for answering a call, seem quite unpolished (as compared to the rest of the stock FF theme, which I love). I was wondering if others were interested in reverting those sliders to the AOSP look, which I prefer.
[Captivate Android Development] gautaml:
Yay successfully installed FF2.6.

Kind of made me nervous on the first system boot where it sat on the glowing "F" logo for quite a while (at least a few min) but i suspect that had to do with the SIM card not being in.

Time to explore. :)

That works for me, I will include the green one in the next build.

Ok, perhaps a n00b question.

How do i get more than 3 buttons on the bottom taskbar? It only shows Phone/Apps/Browser.

Also how do I hide the labels of apps on the desktop?

Do I have to switch to ADW for this?
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
1.) Thats just the Launcher that comes with the Rom. Could also be the theme.

2.) why would you want to? I believe thats tied to the theming aspect of it as well.

3.) Launcher: yes. you may want to confirm with Ex first.

I'm sure someone with more knowledge of the ROM can chime in.
[Captivate Android Development] gautaml:
Because I actually like the way it looks without labels. A lot cleaner and less cluttered.

And I like to have the taskbar with Phone/SMS/Apps/GMail/Browser
[Captivate Android Development] pqrs:
i just noticed today that my market is broken on 2.6? not showing installed apps.. its always worked before, so i hadnt even thought to check.:confused::confused:
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
I agree on the less cluttered part.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
You would have to use another launcher to get more apps in the dock. Go in the market and search for some as everyone has their own preference and what works well for some might not work well with you etc etc...personally I use go launcher ex. It 's smooth and fast and customizable. You can also hide the app labels. It's free look it up in the market. hope this helps
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
launcher pro is a good option, gives you 5 icon dock, and the choice to hide labels on home screen. plus lots of other options, i haven't turned back... don't know about adw
[Captivate Android Development] gautaml:
Yea I've been using AWDLauncher since the beginning.

Just wished Firefly had the disabled labels and dockbar options. The rest of FF I am content with.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Thats weird, its working fine for me. Try doing the market fix in SGS tools.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Give go launcher a shot!
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
It isn't broken. That happens to me often. It is pretty much a habit for me to clear data for it then the installed apps are back. To clear market data... go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > All Apps and choose Market and then clear data. May have to rinse and repeat a few times. Installed apps are back and updates work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i know what you mean.

none of my widgets on my homescreen have labels. i much prefer the clean look. i don't need text to tell me what the app is.

i use ADW.

it's what i stuck to, after trying out pretty much all other launchers. it suited me the best, although i wish it had scrollable docks and the ability to change the number of homescreens.

when you say taskbar, you mean the dock at the bottom, right?
[Captivate Android Development] gautaml:
Question, now that I have FF installed, I can get rid of update.zip (cwm) and the Firefly_2.6.zip file that's in root?
[Captivate Android Development] gautaml:
Yup, bottom bar with the buttons.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Yes. I have.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
You can, but I wouldn't recommended it. It's good to have those available in case your phone decides to go crazy one day. As long as you can get back into recovery you can reinstall the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
+1 Agreed. Think of it as a fail safe mechanism.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Definitely leave update.zip. Any recovery update (theme, add-ons, FireFly fixes) will require it. As others mentioned, it is also good to have at least one ROM zip file that you know works in case you somehow mess up the phone. The FireFly zip does not need to stay in root, though. Can be anywhere on the internal sdcard
[Captivate Android Development] bnevets27:
Fyi, Serendipity has the sent time in the mms.apk , so it is possible.

The mms.apk from serendipity works in firefly, from what I can tell (no FC). I attached it if anyone is interested.

I would still like for firefly have this, or as an option at least. The serendipity mms.apk looks terrible to me personally.

Thanks for including the green gingerbread keyboard.

I attached a dark/green themed market, done tastefully. And an inverted/dark gmail.apk (icon needs to be changed) if the firefly team has any interest in including them. (not my work, pulled from other roms)
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
