I tried flashing with CWM and got an error. Do I have to rename the file to update.zip?
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Quick question. I am one of the few who get signal loss running i9000 modems. Is there any reason I can't pull the modem and kernel out of Cog 3 and put it into this ROM? Has anyone done that?
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
will actually work better that way probably...and will even give you your bluetooth back if it is screwed up...
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You most certainly can do that.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
First off, please post the error. Second, if you rename it to update.zip you will lose your CWM recovery.

another external sd card issue

anyone have a problem not seeing the files on your external sd card? I dont think it was like previous issues where the card would not mount for visibilty on the computer. in both cases (debugging on and off), i can see the files on the external sd (8gb) on my computer. In tibu, it even shows the space allocated properly (in use/available), but when I browse to the directory, it shows up as an empty directory. any advice would be appreciated!

EDIT: never mind... I was looking in /sd instead of the newly named /external sd.
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
When you enable lag fix you loose your root and there for keep the lights on doesn't work. Happened to me also ^^
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
really?? i've used pretty much every kernel and enabled lag fixes on all of them, never once lost root? does that happen every time for you?
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
I found an interesting issue...i set my auto screen shut off to 10 sec, but after reboot, it resets to 10 min. Can you fix that?
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
Yes, I had a problem after i converted /system and data to ext4 and i forgot who told me but someone said you loose root rights after conversion so go into speedmod menu in recovery mode and just redo the root. After that everything is back to normal.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
or you can wait till the next update, I am working on it now, it is just small fixes.

That style of battery is nearly impossible for me to do on my own. I would need a few more people to help me on that.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I will check that out and see if I can replicate that.

Yes, sometimes when you convert the system partition the root is lost in the backup and recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
my calculator app isn't tweaked, either. all the buttons have their graphics.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Happened to me too.. I lost root after I disabled voodoo lagfix from FireBird kernel.

I simply just flashed a speedmod kernel and booted back into cwm recovery and rooted it again from there.

Problem solved.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
I managed to squeeze out a personal best of 21 hours with my current setup. In order to do it, I had to disable HSPA when the data speeds weren't needed and turn sync off when I wasn't using the phone (i.e. when I'm sleeping). Considering I couldn't even get through 8 hours on stock without having to charge it again, I certainly can't complain.

On another note, for those who use the Facebook app, is the sub-text in the settings menu white on white for you? It can only be seen while pressing the options. I'm wondering if the "whitetxt_notificationfix" caused this or if it was already this way before I applied the fix.
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
any thought on making a KB1 version of firefly?
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Will you be releasing this sir?

He has to widen the status bar first
[Captivate Android Development] Billabong81:
Been running 2.2 with Speedmod K13C for the past 3-4 days. First day I got terrible battery life, was down to 50% after about 6 hours with nearly no use. Since then, it has been amazing. Yesterday I spent nearly an hour on the phone, was constantly on twitter/facebook, and playing around in general. After 12 hours, battery was still at 70%!

I'm loving the new black & white theme, far easier on the eyes than the previous colored version. The themed launcher rocks as well!

Only 1 problem, I flashed the fix for animated GIFs in the browser, but they still are not displaying correctly. Any tips? Do I need to enable any settings or such?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Haven't really thought about it, but isnt it a outdated version. Lets wait and see if there is anything else up samsung's short sleeve.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
i got a question. is their anyway to have it so that data connection/3g can be turned off when the phone hasnt been used after a X amount of time? like when sleeping it can really save a lot of battery life. last night after 8 hours i only lost 1% because i wanted to test it, i think it be nice when people are like in class or driving, and it shuts off.. i could be 100% wrong with all this as well
[Captivate Android Development] Billabong81:
Might be accomplishable with tasker (found on market), but not 100% sure
[Captivate Android Development] Jdelgado:
With Firefly my battery is awesome like 1 day 19 hrs and I still have 36 % thanks a lot Firefly team
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Screen shots on first page first post

Are these screenshots from the current FF? Especially the right-most image, with the button images at the bottom. Do those have a name (that set, or style?) I love them!!
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I use switch pro widget from the market. It handles all of your toggle needs. There when my phone is idle(like overnight) I always turn 3g off. This app allows you do toggle most setting on/off how you see fit. Its a paid app in the market(99 cents) I think. Whenever I flash a rom, this is my first widget to restore from TiBu. Just makes accessing your setting so much easier.
[Captivate Android Development] clocke:
I too am also unable to get android ID changer to install. I cannot find it in the market, cannot get it too load using a barcode and barcode scanner (says item not found in the market), and cannot get it to install when I directly download it onto the sd card (parsing error). I need it because napster will not let me load songs directly on the phone since it thinks i'm on a different phone after each flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Tritan88:
Same here. I did find another way to do it but is a pain to do. I can not even find the apk to download and try.
[Captivate Android Development] BugsBunny891:
I love the the rom but I hate looking at the battery percentage all the time. is there a mod for this?
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
ok thanks a lot! i'm still using the 2.2 theme so no issue there. send me a pm with some info!
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
Android ID Changer

At the risk of making an XDA faux pas, but because I love the FireFly community, I've posted the Android ID Changer APK below. I can verify that it did install on my Cappy and opens just fine. May or may not work for you, but give it a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] Tritan88:
Thanks for the upload. It did install and open with out issue on my Cappy.

Now updates/new flashes won't mess up my id any more. It is a lot easier using this instead of changing the id manually in the settings.db file. That is the other way I found to do this and like I said it is a PITA to do.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
thanks ill have to check it out!
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Wireless sleep policy

I set the wifi sleep policy to when screen turns off. But, if I reboot my phone - or turn wifi off and then back on - I have to reset the wifi sleep policy back to when screen turns off.

Any one have any ideas to make this setting stick?

TIA - Federov
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
For those of you having issues finding or downloading apps from the market (like Android ID Changer for example), have you tried the MarketFix in the SGS Captivate Tools app?
[Captivate Android Development] Tritan88:
Yes I did. That did not help.

new bugs in firefly 2.2

message ( default )

If you go to "text message setting" then click delivery report

and try send sms to someone -> phone will be force close

thank hope this bugs will be fix soon

@ all : sorry for my bad english
[Captivate Android Development] redger725:
I just tried on my phone. It worked OK for me without force closing.

Sent from my Captivate running Firefly 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] clocke:
Thanks for the .apk, but I'm still having a "there is a problem parsing the package" when I select it in the file manager (moved to the root folder). Also tried an install from sd card from a different file manager with same problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
Are you downloading the apk from your phone? I have had problems downloading apk files on my phone... sometimes it is glitchy. Try downloading from your computer, transferring via USB to the phone and installing. And be sure not to rename the APK.

If it still doesn't work, I could try emailing you the file directly and we can see if that works for you.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Ok, I will definitely be putting the android id changer app in the next update, until I figure out what it causing the problem.

The next update should be soon, and I am sorry if it feels like I have slowed down. Its because I have to be out all day, looking for a job and its not going so good. Money is tight so I am just a bit more involved with life right now. I usually keep the night hours for android stuff, but lately I have been so tired, I just drop dead.

Anyway, I think you guys are gonna like the next update, its not too big, but it has something in it.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
No rush, I'm going to try the new Cog for a couple days ;).

Seriously though, I appreciate all your work. FF is definitely my favorite ROM i've used so far.

Good luck with the job hunt. Maybe you'll find a hiring manager with a captivate and flash-addiction. Should be an automatic in at that point.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
We understand bro. Wish you the best on the job hunting.
[Captivate Android Development] tejas offroad:
I've had this issue on any rom i use so its not just firefly. I've heard that some think it has something to do with froyo but i'm not sure. I would really like a fix but i haven't found a rom with it.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Sweet, I'm on a roll tonight. Doubled my thanks in a couple hours! It's amazing what you can do while avoiding work.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
I feel your pain. I'm self employed, but business has been slow, so I'm trying to find another job to help pay the bills and debts. I've never had such a hard time finding one. Good luck in your search!
[Captivate Android Development] tejas offroad:
I've never used ID changer but when i searched the market one came up by Adaptive Engineering. Don't know if thats the one. But i'm still not finding any of my sports apps. Online google market said that they are not compatible with my phone, maybe its what the rom is based off of.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I get this in other apps like HeyTell too, in the settings section. It's basically white on white for the subtext. I dont think the downloadprovider.apk is responsible for that though. I don't think its the framework either? Aynone have any idea about this?

On the screencap, there should be subtext under "notifications". It only shows up if you press and hold "notifications".
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
Works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Slow down and take your time. I'm in the same boat, out of work two years in April, nothing out there, it's hard to find work.
[Captivate Android Development] Jdelgado:
Thanks Xtreme for your hard work and the time you dedicate to the android. I wish you luck on your job search. Check your pm I am sending you a link for a web dev.
[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
I've just flashed this ROM yesterday. So far, it's been great.

I have one issue though. My contact photos have sync'ed in the phonebook, but they won't display in text messages. Is there a way to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Can anyone address this question?

thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
Based on a days worth of use, no it has a gingerbread based launcher
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
Here is something odd I have just noticed. With screen brightness set to max (not auto), when the default Android browser is launched it dims the brightness to about half or so. Made it hard to read in bright sunlight.

Anyone else see this?

Edit: I'm an idiot, the browser has it's own brightness setting. Wonder why they did that??
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
For that screenshot, I used launcher pro and a custom dock and I made the icons myself.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
xtreme modded those himself (used with Launcher Pro, I believe). He's already been asked if he'd make them available, but that would be at his leisure. Shouldn't be too hard to make in PS... looks like they are fairly standard icons, greyscaled, made a bit transparent with a big fat drop shadow added... I whipped up this Quick Office icon fairly quickly. The shadow edges could be blurred and rounded (more generic) instead of reflecting the object, but fairly easy process.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
Holy crap, I was right! My memory isn't quite as bad as I'd imagined. :D

So, X, did you just mod those from the default icons?

EDIT: Or, on closer inspection, are those similar to the Fluxed icons with a bit of tweaking?
[Captivate Android Development] thatguysteve:
Has anyone else noticed that when copying text in the browser (GIF enabled one), it says 'charged' instead of 'copied'?
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Thought that was a bit weird when it first happened to me but its not that big of a deal now lol
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Pretty much, i took the default icons and tweaked them. The drop shadow is on the dock, so they look 3D.

Can't get battery meter to 100%

This is the first time I've ever had this issue, and I am not new to flashing. I flashed at 100% (odin, the flash). I always do the bump charge/recalibrate process anyway with battery stats wipe to make sure. But this time i can't get it to stay at 100% once charged (on and off). even after turning back on, it will be anywhere from 97-99%. anything else i can do or try? It seems I can get it to read correctly only after back to stock...but when reflashing back to this, or other ROMs now...can't get it right.
[Captivate Android Development] redger725:
Mine is doing that also. But my battery life is much better than stock.

[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
Sorry for asking this again, but is anyone else having problems syncing facebook photos with their contacts?

I can get the photos to sync with the contacts in my phonebook, but it won't work for text messages
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
This is not an issue, but a feature by samsung. When your phone reached 100% it discharges and then charges back up. This cycle repeats until it is unplugged. So depending on when you unplug, the battery will show the where its at.

I was just reading about this, apparently google is messing with this.
[Captivate Android Development] loonieryan:
Just flashed 2.2 over Perception build 5, as I couldn't get a 2.2 stock flash to work and couldn't successfully restore to my 2.1 stock backup.

Everything seems to be working well, however I really don't like this all black theme. Is there a way to go back to the default theme, similar to Perception, for example?
[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
Thanks for the reply!! I've read about that too. It only affects the Nexus S so far.

The only problem I'm having is that my contacts' pictures don't show up in text messaging and when I call. It only displays in the phonebook. It's not a big deal, but it'd be nice to sort out
[Captivate Android Development] djfotizo:
Speaking of Quickoffice, anyone have a problem with FC when clicking 'Preview' on an attached pdf in gmail?
[Captivate Android Development] djfotizo:
FWIW, IBM Thinkpad li-ion batts do this to prevent using up charge cycles. They are set to trickle down to 96% and then up to 99% tricking the IC chip into not counting off unnecessary cycles. Most li-ion batts can only be charged to 100% 1000 times over the life of the batt. Better to go to bed with a 91% charge off the charger than to leave it trickle charging for 6 hours and losing long term battery performance.
[Captivate Android Development] clocke:
Thanks so much, I emailed it to myself and it worked like a charm. That is so weird that a direct download doesn't work. Thanks again. And thanks extreme for your hard work. You and adam have made the best rom imho. I tried supernova but found too many problems with it on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
I've noticed that bln does not light when a call is missed and I thought it used to in previous Firefly releases. I'm probably mis-remembering and it isn't a huge deal, just something I've noticed as of late. BTW, I'm getting excellent battery life since I've calibrated a second time, 1d 0h 32m 30s with 40% remaining, with quite a few texts, calls and 45 mins of FruitNinja, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Tried taking some 720P videos today, and after 2 minutes into recording, recording fails. Restarting the phone fixes it, so I think there's something wrong with the memory management or something.
[Captivate Android Development] bnevets27:
Any chance to have a mms.apk with sent time?

I would greatly appreciate a mms.apk that displays the sent time instead of received time. Even if only the sent time is displayed in the details menu. It might actually be better if only that was changed to sent time, then everyone is happy. (I tried to change this myself but I just could not figure out how to do it, it has been done before.)

I haven't seen this done before and was wondering if the FF team would be interested in looking into it. Could sms messages automatic try to resend till they actually send? (my old sony ericsson did this) I find it to be a REALLY big annoyance.

Great rom btw, haven't been using it for too long yet but have been enjoying it so far.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Xtreme, how can I add the capacitive light on screen touch fix into other themes? Eg. Valle honeycomb
[Captivate Android Development] tsan81:
I can understand that, but why has it only happened now? If this was a feature, shouldn't it have been happening since I got the phone months ago, and with each ROM flash as well? Or is this a new feature from the newer releases? Just curious, or point me in the right direction to read about it...

Otherwise, battery life has been great. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
I just did 2:15 just fine. Do you have room on your SD card for the recording?

Found what i was looking for

Does anyone have the newest gmail .apk. (2.3.4) I cannot seem to be able to install it from market. It keeps erroring out I am going to have to manually install it.

EDIT: Found it in another form. I have attached it if anyone else is having issues updating it from the market. just rename it to Gmail.apk and copy to /system/app

Got 5GB of free space in the internal SD.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
how did you install it? when i download it on my phone and try installing it, it says install unsuccessful...
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Sideload it using Android Sideload Wonder or another such tool.
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
Notice where he says "copy it to /system/app", not the same as clicking on it to install.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
What I did to get GMail 2.3.4 to install was to first copy the 2.3.4 APK to my SD card. Then I uninstalled the old GMail app through SGS Tools (I suppose any method would work), rebooted my Cappy, then installed the update APK from the SD card. That did the trick.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i didn't even have to do that.

downloaded the file to my pc, bluetoothed the file to phone, and just chose the upgrade option.

Yes, everything will work w/ 2.3

Every time I try to download the 2.2. to 2.3 update from the application you created, it gets stuck during the download. The last time I tried it got stuck on 3%. I don't know if it's just me or not. I really like the application idea. I'm going to download from the site directly for now. thanks!

Will the current battery mods work on 2.3?

Also, are you still going to add the English (Canada) locale as an option, or are Canadians just forced to flash the CWM file?
