Lovvvvvvvvvvve this rom! Its great haven't been happier with my captivate.

Using Speedmod K12u kernel with Jk4 modem. Great gps, fantastically fast and very stable (had a minor issue with notification bar getting stuck but it seems reflashing the kernel and clearing the dalvik cache helped)

Besides that minor hiccup this rom is perfect.

Ps: does anyone else notice their screen to be "fuzzy" using the speedmod kernel? I know its doing the screen fix things but im not too sure if I like it, i feel like text doesn't seem as sharp.
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
try using the phone with your left hand and tilt your head approx 40-50 degrees (or hold the phone between your left cheek and left shoulder ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
I have used all the popular modems and generally jl3 gets the best gps but jk3and jk4 aren't far off. I was however shocked with this rom after flashing jl3. I feel that the modem that is included with the rom is far better in the gps reception.

But it may be too good. Though I get in excess of 10 sats it is like the connection is unstable and easily influanced by reflections and interference. I got most of that worked out before I flashed jl3 but I feel jl3 has more stable results at the expence of sats and slightly lower reception.

The modem included in the rom works terific for me but only after some tweeking and I don't expect results to be universal. I have found that you can't go wrong using jk3 jk4 or jl3. Some like jl2. But I wouldn't flash a modem unless you are having issues with the stock one.

On a slightly related note am I the only one getting poor download speeds regardless of modem on this rom? Its strange im getting hsupa for sure with uploads of 1200-1800 kbps but in the days I have been running this rom im getting download speeds of 1000 kbps and less. It may be ATT putting caps on bandwidth but I find it strange. In the past I had gotten up to 3000 kbps down.
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
awesome behavior

Just a question, i'm using Speedmod K13A with JK4, I'm having a problem everytime I hang up the call, the phone app FCs and signal disconnects/reconnects..

It's not annoying - at this time, not sure how to fix it??

Edit: Oh yea, and the calls aren't saved in the log..

Anyone?

Edit2:

Tried JK3, same behavior as well...
[Captivate Android Development] Thanontos:
Your speeds could be tower related. Is there an improvement if you travel elsewhere ordinary you live in a seasonal area where maybe more people are pooling off of the same tower.
[Captivate Android Development] richuwo11:
I have amazing speeds with the stock 2.0 rom. Im getting 5Mbps down, 1.2Mbps up on Rogers network, and that's with poor reception in my underground office.

I have keeping checking multiple times a day for an update and new kernel to come out. I need something to flash.
[Captivate Android Development] psloan:
Overall very happy with my first flash of a rom. But i have run into a few issues.

Andromeda issues I am seeing. These issues were not found in 2.1 stock at&t rom.

1) bluetooth headset button controls. the talk button should pause/play the current running audio. But with A. it pauses and starts the mp3 player even if I am running Pandora or Acast. with the stock 2.1 this button would start/pause the active applicatoin only. It would also remember what you were last using so that even after acast was closed it would start playing on a press. Often the ff and rw buttons also activate on the wrong app. IE I will be listening to a podcast on Acast, want to skip forward a bit, hit the ff button and the action is sent to the mp3 player not Acast.

2) I had a hard crash today. happened right after I enabled bluetooth and wifi. I was getting ready to leave work, so i turned on wifi and bluetooth via the status pull down buttons. put the phone down, then when I picked it up to leave a minute later the screen was black and none of the buttons responded. I had to pull the battery to get it to boot up. After that it was working fine. This has only happened once of the past 5 days with A.

3) google navigator/places fails to load the maps. Launch navigation, search for a location, the navigator tries to load the map, but it just closes, try again and it loads the second time.

4) not all running applications have entries in the battery usage list. with 2.1 I would normally see several items in the battery usage list, now with A 1.0, the list is really small usually just display, wifi and phone idle. Notable ones missing, media player ( i use acast and Pandora all the time) but it never shows up in the battery usage list.

5) speech to text won't listen on phone mic when headphones with no mic are plugged in. Problem for me as I use a wired headphone to cassette adapter to listen to my phone while in the car. Can't speech to text or voice search navigation when the adaptor is plugged into the headphone jack. this use to work in 2.1 stock rom.
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
TBH, it's not just with Speech-to-text, try having a call with headsets only (without a mic)

It seems that it doesn't pick up the signal from the phone's mic...
[Captivate Android Development] richuwo11:
I would, but them god damn polar bears are out and about eh...
[Captivate Android Development] Tony_McDearmid:

[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:

[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
im no expert but captivate roms are funky and sometimes like captivate modems, id run the modem included in the rom. also kernels can get weird with the captivate, normally you can run an i900 kernel but i900roms dont always like captivate kernels. there is less experimenting done with the armani rom and id stick to kernels built from armani source, thats the kernel included and the firebird kernel from dg. i would try those things to and if the problem persists reflash the rom unless someone has a better solution.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
what is the modem in v1.0? i cant remember which my phone had. is it the jl1 rogers modem? the armani modem? or that chinese modem?
[Captivate Android Development] Zugshad:
I was wondering if it is worth it to upgrade the SGS Tools to the new one or keep the one that comes stock with the rom?? Havent used it too much and was noticing peeps upgrading their TW launcher with it and was wondering if this is recommended and if so, which is the "prefered" one to upgrade too? I just wanted to make sure it wouldnt cause and issues and if/why it was better to upgrade..

if it is worth to upgrade to the new SGS Tools.. do i just go into the manage applications and click uninstall from there.. and then I used dropbox to move the .apk over do i just click on that and from there select install? or is it better to drop the .apk into the /system/app folder or something like that??

finally get to test out the phone portion in a few days :) hoping everything goes well.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
This is probably caused by the included kernel. Try SuckerPunch. I think they have it fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] YoungGun821:
I am using this theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913733&styleid=16

on version 1 of this rom.

I am getting a force close issue with viewing contacts and when I try to edit an input text field on any web browser. (I tried stock web browser and skyfire)

Its a really awesome theme and after PMing the creator of the theme, sounds like hes not doing updates to it anymore. So can anyone fix the force close errors when using that theme?

Long shot request I suppose...
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Your attempting to use an i9000 theme on an armani based rom. Wont work.
[Captivate Android Development] YoungGun821:
O ok.. So you guys got plans for any more themes?
[Captivate Android Development] ferman:
If themers want to theme our roms then yes.

If yes then we have to make themes and the roms so we'd rather work on the rom then the theme to make it as fast and stable as possible.

Voice Dial with Bluetooth Headset - anyone with success?

I can finally post in this forum!

I have been using 2.0 for about two weeks and am very happy with its speed, overall smoothness and stability and attention to detail. I have read every post in this thread and have learned a lot. Great job for a first release. Congratulations to the team. I'm sticking with it and am looking forward to the upcoming update (soon I hope).

I have experienced most of the small issues others have mentioned like Auto Rotate switching to landscape when you activate it and occasional lags, though these are now less frequent (maybe something was gumming up the works that I elimated or deleted with app changes or setting tweaks). I see the quick lock on GPS but with erratic movements after that and have good but not what I would call great battery life. My in-call volume is also very low which is a biggee but I have read the cause has been identified and it will be fixed in the update. Most of these, except the call volume, are nits.

My biggest issue and question I hope this group can help with is dialing calls from my bluetooth headset. Is anyone able to initiate and dial calls from their bluetooth headset without looking at or even touching the phone? If so, please tell me the apps, headset and procedure you are using. I have tried some of the suggestions I read but none have worked -- they either require you to look at the phone for verification, can't understand your voice, or don't respond to headset input.

I have a Plantronics Voyager PRO+ bluetooth headset. My Captivate has Pico TTS voice synthesis installed. It has the voicedialer.apk which sucks. I have seen Choice Dialer and Vlingo mentioned but at this point I'd prefer to hear from one who has REALLY made it work -- hit the headset button, get a prompt, tell it who you want to call and which phone (mobile, home, etc.), receive spoken verification, approve and dial, all with the phone in your pocket -- like I could do with my old Razor fer cryin' out loud.

I suppose I could get a Blue Ant headset with voice prompts that downloads your phonebook when you pair and let it do all the work but my Plantronics headset has better volume, clarity and battery life. Can you guys help me out? Thanks!!

How to maximize battery life

Andromeda 2.0 on my phone has good, but not great battery life. What are the best ways you have found to maximize battery life?

I use Task Killer and tried Juice Defender but it turned off certain reminders I had programmed in my email client and I couldn't figure out how to set it not to do that.

If Juice or another app is a good choice, would you please provide an example of the settings you use?

My Andromeda 2.0 ROM is stock (stock kernel, modem, etc.). I use Nexus Revamped for my wallpaper (Dark Black with only red particles). I use Touchdown for Exchange email with the stock email syncing for contacts since Touchdown contacts (from Exchange) don't merge with the phone Contacts. I use wifi almost always - at home, office, restaurants with wifi (low data plan from ATT). So I'm burning some battery with these I'm sure, but they make my phone great. I just want to use any additonal battery tweaks to do the best I can. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
I wouldn't suggest using any task killers because they close things that are going yo be restarted automatically anyways. So that actually makes battery worse by having to restart them every time you kill them.
[Captivate Android Development] wonner:
I did. I like it a lot better than stock email.
[Captivate Android Development] petrichor8:
try here
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Task killers are bad when you don't use them properly. But... they have there uses.
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Battery life may or may not get better with a few cycles of the battery. For me, I switched to a different modem and got better battery life. JK4 was ok but battery life was still excessive (IMO). Switched again to Telus JL3 and got much better battery life. Also got a little better GPS performance, although it still sucks. :D

Has anyone used the new SGS tools with this ROM? Just wanting to make sure there's no compatibility problems with it.
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
Ok so is anyone else experiencing this? My back button will randomly be activated closing whatever app im in. It just kind of.keeps going in this loop and then stops. I have no.clue what the cause is. My setup is in my sig.
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
Is it me or are all of the download links not working on the website? How do I get this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
I have my ignore settings to avoid closing important apps that should stay running, but to close things like Contacts or other apps that should close when you exit them but don't.

However, I may try it without for a few days to see how it works.

v1.0 has kp1 and v2.0 has jl2.

correction jl2 may be in "the modem thread" sticky not sure, i lost track

Good bye Andromeda! It was awesome while it lasted. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
???? ok going from a working rom to a non working rom? because they have no need to updates it being that it works????
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
CM7 works.

It's stable enough for me and it's a very active project. I think it's moving along very well. :)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Roms are a matter of preference, no need to discuss rom x on rom y's thread
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
works is a relative term. but anyway i get the sense you are flash happy and would flash cm7 even with an update to this. other than wakeup lag i cant think of a thing wrong with this, maybe there are bugs i haven't experienced but i dont know of any reason for an update.

i was just confused by the reason to change roms was "no update" yet.

now if you were saying this about cm7 which has some bugs then id understand being anxious for an update.
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
I hope you enjoy :)

I will laugh at you when you come back to Andromeda tho.. you do know that CM7 is far from stable.. far from finished.. devs are working on it hard, but they still have a long road

and FYI, the less you have to update, the better => it indicates the stability of the ROM

It's probably part of that 90% up in your head, go take your threatening and pouting somewhere else..
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
What is CM7 anyway?
[Captivate Android Development] :
I'm having problems with lag. I unlock the phone randomly and the phone doesn't want to react to touch or soft key. This has only happened about a week into a flash. I have reflashed and redownloaded the rom each time (I've reflashed 3 times). I have been trying to troubleshoot the issue but I've come up with nothing. Does anyone have any insight with this?

I'm running andromeda 1.0 (No theme)

Lagfix on, ADW unthemed, no widgets

Also, the I cannot pull down the taskbar when this happens either. I don't know it's really weird. Hope my input helps or there is a fix in the work. I really like this rom a lot, and thank everyone for all of the hard work.

Then maybe a little more care to update the proper links would be useful.
