@ studacris: yeah I am doing it exactly how you described it... still being a homo on the multi-quote...anyways, appreciate the try :)

This was for the other guy about four pages back that said he wasn't running a theme n'or could he get call recording to work.

10Ton most likely themed the phone.apk which is the correct phone.apk for call recording based off of the phoenix thread, when you flashed this you get the phone.apk for call recording with the button. However, there are two more .apk files that probably wern't there (because you don't need to theme them, they run in the background). When you flashed the FF call recording.zip you got the correct phone.apk (same as in darkfire blue) and the other two apk's along with the .lib files too :)

Once those were on the phone, flashing darkfire blue 3.0 with call recording already installed would have replaced the stock FF call recording phone.apk with a themed one (which is fine) and because you got the phoneutils.apk and the second one ( I can't remember off the top of my head, plus the .lib files) your call recording and your theme now work. Hope that clarifies why/how you got it to work.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
yeah that guy four pages back was me...

and i figured all that out early yesterday.. but you are correct.

thanks though anyway, nice to see people helping~!
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I figured you did, but also thought ppl may benefit from the explanation :) glad you got it working with a theme.

Would I be correct in assuming you are using Handcent sms? :)
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
nope stock. with "sms pop-up" app
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
hmm crap, then I don't know lol. I know there are issues with handcent and other roms as well like Cog where if the number wasn't 1+xxx-xxx-xxxx then mms wouldn't work

I was able to install the kernel and modem, but I had wifi problems. it picked up the router, but it disconnected immediately after connecting. I tried enabling/disabling it to no avail. For some reason I have this issue with some kernel/rom combinations. I don't know if my phone is just temperamental or maybe I am missing something.

Anyone know how to resolve this?
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
It is a kernel problem from what I have read, very hit or miss and doesn't affect all users of the kernel. I would recommend flashing speedmod kernel and a I9000 modem found in the stickied modem thread that is tried and tested. (jk4, jl2, jl3) See how that goes for you. I remember earlier you said you were getting battery drain, this is normal after flashing a ROM/kernel/modem and switching any of these three up. Make sure you wipe dalvik cache after flashing a kernel/modem, as well as battery stats, then you need to let your combo "settle" down... by that I mean go through a couple of days worth of charge cycles before forming an opinion about the battery life of your combo. Also, if you are experiencing excessive drain I would check your signal for the 50% without signal bug... this drains the battery and the only workaround is going to airplane mode and then coming back out, this will settle down your battery even further if it is showing 50% time without signal.

Other battery anomalies include losing 10% per hour in idle, which should be remedied with the cache and battery stats wipe (done in CWM)

I also recommend reading the following threads (at least the OP and a couple down) to get a getter understanding of how your batt acts:

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

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806211

These will help immensely, as well be aware that modems also play a factor in battery drain and not all modems act the same way on everyone's captivates, location and what your phone "likes" for lack of any real explanation plays a significant factor... they are all built with the same crap inside them, but seem to act different. Read the following, test out a couple of modems with speedmod and see how it goes.( I recommend speedmod because there are more I9000 modems out than captivate ones giving you more choice)

Well, only problem I'm having is wifi also. But I think it's just a setting, I just can't remember where it is. Might be in my auto killer, or juice defender, but I can't locate it. My wifi shuts off automatically when not actively used. Even if I'm at home. Can someone refresh my memory? FF, with onix, dark red fire theme. Thanks

[Captivate Android Development] KayvinM:
If you're referring to the Wifi sleep policy it's under Setting--> wireless and network-->Wifi settings, then hit the menu button to bring up the advanced menu. You can change the setting there. Menu button again and "save" changes.

I also heard that certain apps like tasker and some app killers will cause issues with wifi.

lol basically what bryman27 said. Stupid slow internet...
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
HI

This is awesome info. Thanks a lot. How do I check for the wifi 50% without signal bug?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
wifi sleep policy is "turn off wifi when screen is off"

thats not what hes talking about.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Well, that was what I was looking for, but it turns out my wifi was set to never, do not sure why it's happening. Although, I just noticed the wifi stays when plugged in. No big deal,I'll keep an eye on it. But thanks tonnes guys that was the menu I was looking for.

Anyone know if the new version of honeycomb theme will work on FF 2.9? The one the app downloads is 0.7 but the theme is actually on 5.1.

I'm guessing the FF app isn't being supported except for the updates?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Try this:

1. Put phone into airplane mode

2. Bring it back out of airplane mode

3. Turn off the phone (NOT reboot)

4. Turn it back on

This should take care of the 50% signal bug.

Note that u might need to do this when u go to recovery and come out of recovery (for some reason, restarting phone from recovery seems to be causing this on multiple ROMs).
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Please put up the link of what u r referring to. Do not expect people who want to help u to search for what u r thinking of and come up with an answer of that. Plus this would be helpful for people on mobile devices.

Umm...the one in the FF app, lol.

[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Looks like it is compatible. U could try,

after taking a nandroid backup

. Also, after u download the theme, go to /system/framework folder in it, and

delete all the JARs

in it, if any, and then flash it.
[Captivate Android Development] mindbullet:
I've been using the one that can be download through FF Mods and Fixes, but it overwrites settings app so I couldn't choose to remove the clock anymore (also removes the option to have screen on while charging). I ended up just dropping the services.jar I liked from this thread into it. Worked like a charm! My Firefly now looks like Honeycomb and the clock only displays when I pull down the notification bar, (although, I can't change it in settings anymore). It also removed the usb debugging icon.

I thought about dropping in the services.jar and settings.apk from the FF revert theme, but I wasn't sure if the custom stuff in settings relied on other apks or files, so I figured it was safer to just add the services.jar to the honeycomb theme.

Just as an FYI about the theme - the signal images are 48px tall, so you'll have to manually edit them to 38px to get a cleaner look.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
FF is absolutely supported. I try to update it as much as I can. That is why I need you guys to test out themes and let me know if they work on FF or not.

Try the honeycomb theme out, if it works, I will update it in the app.

Also, I will update the Dark Fire Blue.

This will be fixed in FF 3.0
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
While your at it solar flare works if you wanna throw it in there...
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Yep...5.1 works. I updated from .7 to 5.1 and it booted up pretty fast. looks nice. Only thing that's weird is it shows my FF version as 2.5.2.2...

Going to reflash 2.9 update to fix...same thing happened with Darkfire...fwiw.

[Captivate Android Development] johneric8828:
Also, If you go into manage apps>>click on market >>click clear data. Then relaunch your Market it should fix the issue. And sometimes connecting to WIFI helps fix the issue.

Lost Root and I can't find it

First I just want to say thanks to you Adam and everyone that helps with this ROM. Normally, I just have to read through the thread and my question is usually answered by someone else. This time, no such luck. So I have to lose my cherry for this particular root problem.

So I flashed the new firebird kernal 2 and when I went to use root explorer it says that it hasn't been given root access. I checked with other apps that require root access and none of them are getting access. I know in the speedmod kernal you just had to go into recovery and reapply the root binary but this kernal doesn't have that option. What do I need to do in order to get root access back?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Just download superuser from the market and you will be good to go
[Captivate Android Development] dr01dfan:
Ah thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
Do the one click root. Do a search in the captivate threads for root.

Edit: Or put this in your sd card directory and rename it to "update.zip" and then go into recovery and apply update.zip... reboot and you have root... then after that, put your clockwork recovery update.zip in it's place (make sure it's also named "update.zip") it's in your clockwork directory on your sd card. So you don't have to do this again.
[Captivate Android Development] skorchir:
two small issues...

first issue is the exchange mail is working (very important).. but when i receive an email, the notification sound goes off however there is no notification icon that appears. So if i dont hear it i wont know i have mail unless i open the mail icon. This also happened in FF 1.0

second issue not so much rom based more kernel based i guess? It seems that my bluetooth in my car doesnt stay connected.. Keeps disconnecting and says no device found.. I know its not the phone because i had it exchanged for a unrelated problem (usb connector issue).. had this same issue with old phone using Darky rom.. and its not the car.. because it works fine if i use the rogers stock rom or firebird 2 kernel (firefly 1.0)... How would i go about debugging this?
[Captivate Android Development] Kakashi28:
Adam, I just notice something on the signal bar nothing big; I just want you to know it anyway. Whenever I get one bar, there is a tinny white dot appear on top of the fourth bar.

[Captivate Android Development] hey_joe:
First of all, thanks to all the people that made this rom possible. I'm sticking with it till a better one comes along, if ever :)

Have a question to those in the know about android. I've seen a video of axura in action a long time ago where you can switch from stock launcher to adw, is it easy to implement such function like copy and pasting apk's/files using root explorer or is it more involved and only dev-level knowledge can do it? I know not very many people like the stock app drawer but I personally do so if it's noob-friendly please advice on what to do. If not please help in maybe telling me on how to replace adw with the stock app drawer?

Thanks very much
[Captivate Android Development] cy-rock:
SImply dl the ADW launcher from the market and run the .apk

I'm using the EW version and its working like a champ :D
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
If you are only trying to change your launcher, just download "home switcher" from market. You also need adw on your phone as well so you can switch to it.

Edit: I probably should have read your last sentence better. I use Launcher Pro, it's not the stock app drawer but you can change it from 3d to scrolling but it's up and down not left to right. You might also be able to rip the twlauncher apk from another 2.2.1 rom that has it and put it in your system/app folder. Just need to make sure it uses the right framework.
[Captivate Android Development] spaz2k7:
all i do is install the launcher of choice from market than once installed hit the home button and a window will pop up. make sure you check the box and select the launcher you just installed... wala new default launcher :-)
[Captivate Android Development] hey_joe:
Thanks a lot for the help everyone. Didn't realized there's a lot of options in the market and the function doesn't have to be built-in. Where is the setting for changing the 3D to scrolling?
[Captivate Android Development] pheonixdx:
I tried the one click root and it just tells me that I am rooted but nothing changes on the phone. Any other suggestions?

Just want to say thanks for this rom! I flashed last night and the battery life is a hundred times better! I'm at work and usually unplug my phone in the morning around 5:15am and I'm changing batteries out at noon. The battery lasted untill 4pm today with this rom and I think I used it more today as well! Very nice! Very nice!

[Captivate Android Development] spaz2k7:
UPDATE

after 24 hours use it appears that the battery is great. Unplugged for 11 hours so far and only lost 25% on the battery, moderate use (30 emails, 7 texts, 3 you tube vids, about two hours on xda, 1 hr phone calls online banking) one thing i noticed is that it appears that my cell reception is not as great however it may just need a modem change.

Still very happy with FF 1.5 :)

You probably already did this.....delete the mms you are sending and start over. One sticks and seems to stop all, both stock and handcent.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Nandroid backup is basically similar to System Restore in Windows right? Except that it actually WORKS unlike in Windows where it usually screws things up more than it fixes things? Well for me anyways.

Nandroid explanation

@xtreme. Do you have any input on the power saving feature? It was reported that unchecking it actually improves battery life. Well I tried it myself and I think there's a minor increase in battery life, but it's hard to determine since I won't be putting the phone through moderate to heavy usage that much anymore... School's almost over :D

Btw, any luck with the SMS timestamps and getting it to show the sent time instead of received? Sorry for nagging, but it's an important feature.

Oh, and is there a way to delete the System Tutorial in About Phone? I didn't think about that until now, but the less things that the ROM has to process, the faster it runs right? Just like how a computer runs at maximum speed after a format...
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I would recommend freezing default apps like this in TiBu than deleting them altogether.

Keyboard

I flashed over the origional gingerbread keyboard for this rom with the multi touch keyboard and i was wondering if there is anyway to go back to the original?

its only wasting space. not processing. but WAIT! what? MORE SPACE!@!@!

[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Delete it n tell me how it goes, and the process name too. I'll too delete it :)
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
im not saying just delete it but it could be removed from the rom by skilled hands. and I must have missed the process as i went through the list.. how much active

processing power

is it taking up? none.

that was the question i answered

it would be taking up memory if the process is loaded, but its not doing anything. it would be one of those things you wrote about. but hey, im not going to tell

you

about memory!

so getting it out of the rom would save rom space AND memory. great! lets get er done.

2 points.

so hows firefly doing?
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Well, not so quick, I tried the solar flare theme from supernova and all I got was fc's, maybe it was something simple, but I had a heck of a time getting rid of it and back to normal. I just did the dark red fire them made specifically for FF and the red drop down menu and no problems with that, and it's sexy as can be. I'd add that one to FF themes app.

[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Go into the 2.8 zip and grab the settings.apk from /system/app and drop it in the same folder on your phone, and reboot ... But you will lose the clock toggle...
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:

I noticed that the Video Player included with FireFly is still TouchWiz themed, so I made this for myself, but now I decided some of you might want this, so here you go, just flash in recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Ok, see your wrong here too. Flashing a rom REQUIRES root. If you somehow were able to flash firefly without rooting, (remember, titanium backup and rom manager both require root to work which are big steps before you flash a rom)

then the rom would have had the ability upon install to root your phone when you flashed it.

But im going to leave it at that. All of this information im stating can be found in the how to flash a custom rom thread.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Umm I've only rooted stock eclair once. The first time I needed to use tibu before I flashed my first rom. I've been to stock a few times and master cleared, but since I kept the update.zip after master clear I can throw everything on my sd, reinstall packages twice, to flash cwm and from there flash like normals, the rom does install root when flashing but there isn't a prompt or anything like was implied in your post. But if I didn't want to back up anything the first time I would have never needed to root.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Actually he is right. Check the features of almost any new ROM and they are rooted. To install, all you have to do is put CWM update and the ROM zip on your internal SD card, boot into recovery, install CWM update.zip (usually twice), then flash ROM zip.

No prior root required.
[Captivate Android Development] Hivol:
Is anyone else losing the new icons in settings when you install a new app? Ive noticed it twice now in a few days time. I just reflash the 2.8 to 2.9 update and it fixes it. Not a big deal just wondering if it happens

[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Yes, this is the way to do it when you HAVE to go back. I think the only time you NEED to go back now, is when you messed up your phone to the point that you can't get to Recovery. And/or if you messed up your partitions somehow (CM7 in my case :))or because you can only get to Download mode, and in which case, what else are you going to flash than stock? I note that my downloads do not include one other ODIN flashable ROM :). I find this a weakness, but with update.zip copying, it is only a speedbump.

My poor Fascinate friends need to use ODIN all the time. Poor guys.

What I do do though, is format my SD card as the simpler method than bothering with deleting the folders. I always seem to have random weirdness if I let programs install into folders where they used to be installed in a past life. This could be due to 2.1-2.3 that I have been at times. My own personal salt over the shoulder thing with flashing phones. Some of you guys got it WAY worse than that. I mean that in the best way possible :).

[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
actually to even simplify that, if you are on stock eclair, with 2e just rename your rom to update.zip (your new kernel it flashes has CWM built-in). roms now are full and complete with wipe instructions and CWM kernels. few months back you couldnt trust doing it this way.

2e doesnt need signed zips, and will only wipe when told to (like roms). hacked 3e works the same way

skip the CWM update.zip!

come to think of it now... its easier than ever for newbs to flash... pre rooted, cwm in kernel, wipe roms... damn!
