I haven't tinkered with oc/uv, but I have done a full discharge cycle since going from speedmod to onix, and I have to say, it makes a big difference.

I was thinking just last night of going back to speedmod for the same reasons stated by others in this thread. It seemed pointless to me to go from a 500hz kernel to a 100hz kernel if my battery uptime actually got worse, which it seemed to (a little).

Since my full charge cycle, I noticed it was not immediately better, but I did reboot 2 or 3 times, upgraded from onix 2.0.1 to 2.0.2, watched some video and made some calls.

This morning, I topped off my batt to "full" (100%) off the charger at around 7:10. It is 10:42 now, I've read email and received a text, and my battery is at 93%. That's 7% loss over 3.5 hours with very minimal usage, including connecting to bluetooth in truck for a half hour and wifi for the last 2.75 hours.

I estimate that at 50 hours uptime with minimal use.

That's just a little better than I got with speedmod, so I'm gonna stick with this for a little while and see how things go.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
what about getting it from market onto your PC and then sideloading from there?

@studacris: I havn't seen the one connection2005 posted but spiderman splash ftw!
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
There is a video here which explains how to change the startup screen to whatever you want. It might be worth taking a look at.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Just guessing at this point... try using a different launcher before uninstalling launcherpro. You probably can't delete it while you're using it. Although I was using it when I updated it.
[Captivate Android Development] pqrs:
tried... still cant install it, it downloads just fine. theres something about the installed version of launcher pro causing problems. it is cooked into the rom, i found it as a system app, but i cant do anything with it.

battery life

Hey.. since going to 2.7 and the new kernal I wanted to see how my battery life was so I removed cache and cleared battery stats, i'm now charging on my second full charge after 2 full drains...

My question is.. anyone else notice that when they drain fully and it self powers off that when they plug it in and power on, the battery bar starts at 35%? I mean just the boot-up time couldn't have charged it to 35%....
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
is there an echo? ;);)
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
You need to uninstall it first before upgrading. I'll bet that you had been using either a Cognition or Perception ROM prior to using FF. I don't remember which one, but one of them at one point had Launcherpro as a system app. That won't allow updating.

Also, I believe the S23 modded version won't allow for updates on top of it due to the signing differences.
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
double post
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
That's really strange...

I, too, use launcherpro paid version, and I just now upgraded it using market on my firefly 2.7.

I'm about to run tibu to backup my updated apps from the weekend now.
[Captivate Android Development] pqrs:
well i cant seem to uninstall it, so then what? lol..reflash 2.7?
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
I am guessing you already tried to restore app plus data in tibu for lp?
[Captivate Android Development] pqrs:
launcher pro is working just fine, i just cant update it for some reason. the update wont install..

i cant figure out why launcher pro doesnt show up as a 3rd party installed app? i see theres an app in the system files that installs lp, but where does it install it?

i want to try to delete it, if not then i dunno....:p
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Have you tried deleting it through TiBu?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Do you have root explorer? If it is in your system app folder then delete it from there.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
When that happens, that means your battery is not getting fully charged nor is it getting fully drained. If it shows more than 5% after the phone auto shuts off and you plug it in to charge, turn it on while the phone is still plugged in and charging. Once you boot into Android and are on the desktop, unplug it and let the phone drain till it turns off by itself. Then do a full charge and all should be well. You may need to delete the batterstats.bin in the Recovery menu.

For more information refer to the battery calibration threads. Too lazy to find where but a quick search should bring it up :)

Where do you guys get the 800X480 boot screens? I currently use the MobileTech Android eating Apple one because I couldn't find other boot screens.
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
One other thing to try...in tibu, long press lp and click on the link to market option.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
You can use any jpeg that's 480x800 just rename it logo_ATNT and run the batch. I think the video recommends under 100kb, but my spider man splash is like 192kb so idk...
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Oh right, 480X800. Problem is that pictures are mainly widescreen, not "tallscreen" so it's hard to find something good in that resolution.
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
I start HERE :D
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I know exactly what you mean, if you find one that isn't that resolution but kind of close, what I do us just open it with ms paint and resize it to 480x800 sometimes it'll look all squashed and ugly, but sometimes it looks awesome! Just tinker with it.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
If you start your phone while charging you mess up the battery level indication. You get artificially high level showing up, and it then drains really fast

[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Cool extra feature with Onix 2.0.3 just released-

No static, black-n-white "Samsung SGH-I897" startup screen. It just has the cool looking blue "o" introduced with 2.0.2.

I kind of like this, because the SGH-I896 and -I897 moniker is really a little obsolete for us firefly folk (as has been discussed very recently in this thread).

Now, I only see the SGH-I897 in the "About phone" details, and I (for one) like that.

I have a custom rom with a custom kernel. Why shouldn't I see some custom logos and animation on boot? I know it's an "SGH-I897." I don't have to be reminded every time I boot the phone (it's not like I can't find it under the battery if I really, really needed it and forgot what it was).
[Captivate Android Development] Verrigan:
Searched this thread for this issue, this is the only post about it? Any fix for it? Did I miss the post?

Thanks in advance!

[EDIT]

Okay.. So I fixed permissions in recovery, and that seems to have resolved this issue.. Very strange.
[Captivate Android Development] Subie_07:
I have gone from 2.6 to 2.7 no wipe. I my phone was in silent when I did it.

My phone is set to Always vibrate... when I put my phone in silent it never vibrates... even if I change the settings to vibrate only in silent mode.

Not sure but didn't start till I flashed the newest zip. downloaded from FF mods and Fixes. Install was successful with no issues reported
[Captivate Android Development] gautaml:
So when I did the original test, I had it on noop with CPU limited to 1200 and between 1200 and 400 or so set to -100mv.

noop is what caused the choppiness.

I set it to sio and no longer choppy. Nenamark also reported 64.xfps and my Linpack jumped from 14.1 to 16.45 :D

So far fairly stable.

Just to report a small bug but it seems that the gallery I'm this Rom is the battery drainer according to spare parts.

[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
SGS Tools > Upgrade stock apps > Modded 3D gallery
[Captivate Android Development] sthodupunuri:
does this change the app's functionality in any way?
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
Yeah I know about that just letting xtremekilla know so he can incorporate it into future builds.

Lol, Hi sunny, No it does not all it does is it fixes the battery drain as the original Gallery drains your battery faster because of the background sensor usage which is on all the time , even if you stop gallery from a task manager. The Modded gallery fixes that problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
No. It just makes it not drain the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] djnoicatse:
Tried it and it slowed down my gallery drastically. Never had that problem before. Anybody have the version that came with the FF rom?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Hey xtreme, can you fix the MIUI widget when the screen is horizontal?

And as previously requested, the SMS showing sent times as it is possible prior to flashing the SMS timefix CWM file.

There was also some other fixes that could be incorporated into the next update, but I forgot what...
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Just open up the ff 2.7.zip file in your sd card and go to system/app and get the gallery3d.apk from there and place it in the system/app on your phone and you are set. Only works if you have the full rom as the ff update file only has the system apps that were updated. If you upgraded via the update package just go to the ff app and download the full rom :). Also I can say that I do NOT have the gallery battery draining bug!

Back to Speedmod...

Well after a few days (including the weekend) and a couple updates trying the onix kernel, I'm back to speedmod.

I don't notice the difference in voodoo sound, and the increase I got in battery uptime (and I did note an increase) just isn't worth the 2 sleep deaths (NEVER got that on speedmod) and the wifi issues.

Seemed like when I woke in the morning after charging the phone, it just refused to re-enable wifi. I had to manually re-enable it 3 or 4 times.

Hardcore had those issues addressed as of K13D, so I'm opting to return to stability.

Kinda disappointed as I was liking the blue cwm, the cool "o" on startup, and I was REALLY digging the extended uptime, but I like dependable wifi settings and no sleep death more.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Yeah, after I upgraded to onix 2.0.3 i've been experiencing charge death too. Never had that issue on the 2.0.1 kernel. I'm using the same voltage settings as well. Not sure what the problem is with the newer version?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I agree... although I am on Onix right now, I need to be 100% sure I don't get sleep death or charge death... I am not oc/uv for that specific reason... but It makes me nervous following the onix thread and makes me want the safety of speedmod lol
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
For what it's worth, I'm on Onix 2.0.3 with UV but no OC and I haven't had a charge death yet.

(Well to be honest I'm not entirely sure I know what that is. I'm assuming it's when your phone turns off while charging.)
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
I have experienced charge and lock deaths with the latest Onix kernel. Moved to Suckerpunch and testing it now :(
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
you are correct. sleep death is turning off the screen and the phone freezes, notification lights usually turn on but screen stays black when you go to wake it up.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Hmm I had been using sp voodoo 11, switched to the newest onyx before bed charged all night no deaths no oc, but I do have all steps uv to already at least -100mv. only issue that bugs me so far is I turned off the lowest brightness setting and switched the color to cool in recovery but it still looks dark and yellow.

Also post 200!!
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
Also another question, when I was on stock rom, i could easily connect my phone to other computers without installing any drivers. Now on any custom rom including firefly any computer that I plug in my captivate into that does not have the drivers installed will not recognize my phone when I turn on the usb on my phone.

My freind sthodupunuri also experiences this problem/bug.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I would imagine that it has to do with the phone having a cutom kernel built off a reoriented kernel. When I plug mine into my computer it doesn't identify as an I896 like it used to, then when I was on cog it identified an I897 and since moving to this ROM and other I9000 based roms my phone identifies as an I9000 when I plug it into the comp. That being said, come to think about it, when I ran speedmod on a cog rom, it identified as an I9000 when plugged in... I think it has to do with the kernel... I could be completely wrong...I am just giving it my best guess.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Did the SGS Tools gallery tweak. So is this big of a drain normal for the gallary? Just out of curiosity, same with LP?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
The 43 is how many times the Gallery was opened/used/accessed the processor. So if you didn't launch it that many times, I would say it's not functioning properly and causing an unwanted drain. As for LauncherPro, that seems normal. Every time you swipe the screen or launch an app it will access the processor and that count will go up. Pretty much the same with any launcher you use.
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
Ya same here, I have had 3 lock deaths in 2 days. How has Superpunch been going for you?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Have all you posted on the onix thread about your problems? Existz said he really wants everyone to post in his thread when something goes wrong so he knows what to fix.
[Captivate Android Development] DarkisFever:
I've been on onix 2.0.1 with no problems so far. Excellent battery life though I do miss speedmods performance boost. Haven't had a lock or charge death and im to worried to update it lol. Keep what works :p

[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i've noticed wifi issue as well.

one time, it wouldn't let me manually enable it, so i had to reboot.

noticed one sleep death a few days ago, but not since.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Well i've been on ONix 2.0.3 since the day it was released and i've had not one issue and the battery has been great. Wonder what's going on? But then i did uv/oc either.

I just rebooted and it's showing higher numbers for everything.

So how do I go back to the original gallery then?

You don't need a driver if you use linux. ;)

Then again, odin one-click (as far as I know) hasn't been ported to linux. :(
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
I've had a taste of the charge/sleep death, with onix but I'm sure it was from too much uv in low cpu frequencies. I've changed my boot settings in the lowest frequencies from -125 to -100 uv and all is well .

Existz pointed out a simple app called cpu spy that shows the percentage you spend in each frequency. Very handy.....

I love onix, speed and battery are worth having to find stable settings. Btw..oc'd to 1200

Question about the gallery...

In spare parts my gallery shows up in sensor usage as the same as total up time , but in usage history it's at the bottom of the list.

what is the most reliable evidence that it's draining battery?

Sent from a fire fly's abdomen using morse code
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I agree-- I, too, love onix and what it does for my battery uptime.

Perhaps I'll try some tweaking as you have after checking cpu spy...

I'm inspired by your positive experience. I will try it again at the next release. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Posted a couple pages back.
[Captivate Android Development] sthodupunuri:
im talking about on windows. i want it to be recognized like a thumb drive. thats how it was in stock mass storage mode. why is kies mode even included on a custom rom anyways?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Why not just go in and change it so it either asks you what type of connection to use or set it for USB mass storage mode.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Go to Settings > Wireless and network > USB settings and either select Mass storage or Ask on connection and that's what will happen if you connect your phone to your computer via USB with USB debugging off. If you're having trouble connecting, then your drivers may be out of date. If this is the case, I suggest you download the AIO Captivate Toolbox and install the drivers included with that. Also, I would imagine that it's more of a pain in the ass to take out the Kies mode than it's worth. If you don't use it, then ignore it. It's not hurting the functionality of your phone by being there.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
I've had no issues with the kernal. Still on 2.0.1 oc'd to 1200 and undervolting as well. Very nice addition to this magical,spectacular, fantastical ROM
[Captivate Android Development] psyfactor:
I believe that when USB debug is on just connect the cable, pull down the notification bar, tape on the notification to enable mass storage. If USB debug is off, the default option could be set in settings - wireless & network -USB settings or settings - applications - USb settings
[Captivate Android Development] sthodupunuri:
thanks. i didnt know that they moved ubsb settings to wireless and network. i thought it was removed from this rom since it isnt under applications

Erebos theme

Some of you guys wanted the Erebos black kb and dialer that I provided in a CWM file... I was wondering if you guys would want the whole theme ported?

I am trying my hand at theming and figured that trying to port one that is already done seems less daunting to me...just figured I would get some feedback...

[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Hey xtreme, can you add in the software noise suppression for voice calls in the next update?

Also you might want to consider adding this CWM script to speed up the read/write speeds of SD cards. Apparently the cache is limited to 128KB on Android.
[Captivate Android Development] Tritan88:
I tried running the latest version of Onix but ran into the COD problem along with some wifi issues that others have reported on that thread already.

Given the problems with that kernel I am back to speedmod K13D for now, I do not care for the OC/UV anyway so this kernel with the JK4 modem gives me what I need and seems pretty stable. Why fix something if it is not broken, right?

Anyway great job on the ROM. I have to agree there is not much more you can do it. I think it is as close to perfect as one can expect.

xtreme are we skipping the update for tomorrow? i personally think all changes can wait till next week should take a break team phoenix has been working make the perfect build thanks for all the work i really love bein able to update directly from my phone

since i have your attention xtreme what are the thoughts of gingerbread phoenix based rom?
