What exactly did you hate about it? Compared to the one in Andromeda it is fantastic. I tried (and paid for) PowerAMP. I loved the graphical EQ, the ability to download cover art just by pressing the Now Playing window and the integration with the lockscreen and Notification Bar, but when I started listening using headphones I noticed some distortion, even at medium levels. Did some side-by-side testing and the Eclair player had zero distortion. Not really sure what it is you expect a music player to do.

notification bar freeze

Flashed 1.1 last weekend. AWESOME ROM! Thanks for the hard work!

Had a problem today when I tried to drag the notification bar down. It froze until I press the home key. Tried many times and the same result. Had to reboot the phone to get it working. Not sure whether it's a known issue...
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I haven't seen that issue... hopefully it was just a small glitch that won't reoccur.

I do agree .... awesome rom
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Can anyone tell me if the auto rotate issue mentioned several times is now fixed?

If so would it be easy to apply this fix to 2.0?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I'm not sure what the problem is..... auto rotate works just fine for me on 1.1.

Not sure where the DEVs are....they seem a little distant in this thread last few days.... maybe they are hard at work on a big update.
[Captivate Android Development] Madtowndave:
I've had zero issues with auto-rotation...not sure if I've seen any other reports of this on the thread. Is a reflash warranted?

[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Only a few people have reported the problem. If you are having it you should try running a different kernel and see if it goes away.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
the music app included in 1.1 is NOT armani. it is CyanogenMods music app, because it works with ALL the lockscreens without any funky issues.

that is exactly why we included it

the CM music app was included to encompass more functionality with fewer glitches....
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
we have seen this issue with certain apps being installed. i will try to find which app it was causing it.

there is no auto rotate issue....out of the 1000+ that have downloaded our roms, i have only seen it mentioned a couple of times. try a different kernel, but honestly, we never touched anything that would affect rotation so its impossible for us to fix something that ISNT a problem for 99% of the populous.

i cant speak for the others, but i have been extremely busy lately working on android stuff at work, so i have not had any time to keep up with the team or the threads...
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Yay updated op!
[Captivate Android Development] rpicaso:
Thanks guys! I have rocked this rom longer than any other on XDA Why? cuz it's the BEST ROM on XDA!
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
THANKS !!

Big Thanks to Team Komin for this ROM !!
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Good to know. So far I've used the Eclair player with the default lockscreen and the glass lockscreen. Works fine with both and works OK with the Notification bar. If I find any issues with it I will post them here.

Oh, and in case I didn't mention it, this ROM ROCKS!:)

Can I flash to 1.2 with CWM straight up if I have 1.1 with Speedmod kernel and JK4 modem?
[Captivate Android Development] steelechamp:
I only get decent battery life with 2.0 :/

Is this normal?

Only 36 hours :/ I might have to update to fix this battery problem!!!

This is with moderate usage by the way.
[Captivate Android Development] thunderstar2500:
Potentially dumb question here: when flashing the 1.2/2.2 update, should I have disabled voodoo lagfix?
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
I apologize in advance for this newbish question.

After all the hard work and fixes by the devs I'm now inspired to move from 2.0 (with which I am very happy) to 1.2. then probably add the v2 theme.

What is the best way to get there? I see the 1.2 full wipe on page one. Is that all I need or do I have to go to 2.1 or 1.1 first? Please tell me the correct path or point me to a link.

I went from stock to 2.0 but that's the only ROM upgrade I have done. I need some relearning and a little coaching for this upgrade to be sure it comes out right.

Thanks for your help and advice.
[Captivate Android Development] ChaoticKinesis:
11% remaining after 36 hours of moderate usage is "only decent" for you? I wish I could get that battery life!
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
As PirateGhost said above, we have been very busy with our lifes lately. Thankfully there are not too many complaints :)

Regarding the mms.apk: I did not have the time to even look at it. If the modded one is not working for you, just grab the one from the 1.1 zip and copy it over /system/app/ to revert to the original one.

No. Just go ahead. No kernel change so there is no reason to disable the lagfix.

If you want to update and maintain the theme, get the 2.0->2.1 update here: http://files.teamkomin.com/Andromeda/2.1/Andromeda.update.2.0.to.2.1.zip

Then apply the second update from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11354818&postcount=357

If you DONT want the theme, get the same first update 2.0->2.1: http://files.teamkomin.com/Andromeda/2.1/Andromeda.update.2.0.to.2.1.zip

Then the 2.1->1,1 from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11275078&postcount=126

And finally the second update: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11354818&postcount=357

I hope that's not too confusing :)

I'm guessing he's just being ironic... tho I also wish I had that battery life lol
[Captivate Android Development] nissy86:
I've just flashed andromeda. Its awesome! But it is advisable and safe to flash other kernels available? I'm thinking of speedmod.
[Captivate Android Development] jcr81:
Where can I get ursa major?
[Captivate Android Development] Battlehymn:
Yes, you can flash other Kernels ... Im currently running Andromeda 2.1 with the speedmod kernel and have absolutely no issues.

If you are uncertain check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887525

I would also check the individual Kernel threads to see if there are any issues associated with the Kernel you want to use.

GREAT ROM! PROBABLY THE BEST I'VE HAD :)

I am using version 2.1 (themed) and was wondering if there's a mod to get battery percentage?

Also, has anyone tried using Samsung email or Galaxy Tab ported email with this ROM? I can't, for the life of me, get them to work.. would really appreciate the help..

[Captivate Android Development] Hotnicks:
semi-noob here... I flashed my first ROM (1.1) last week and am enjoying the performance. I would like to update to 1.2. Before I do anything I wanted confirmation of what I think I need to do to update to 1.2.

Do I simply copy over the "Andromeda_1.1_or_2.1_to_1.2_or_2.2_cwm.zip" file to the root directory of the phone -> rename to "update.zip" -> turn-off phone -> 3button -> re-install packages ???

[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
They attempted to change the size photo that is compresses to before sending MMS but it is still sending a 640x480 photo.

Stock AT&T JH7 was sending 1280x960
[Captivate Android Development] Hotnicks:
Pretty simple... thanks :) FYI - the build number still shows up as 1.1 in settings -> about phone.

BTW... after the update, can I remove "Andromeda_1.1_or_2.1_to_1.2_or_2.2_cwm.zip" from the phone (or any other zip files I have copied)?
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
With the music player in 1.2, it stays in the notification bar. Only way to get rid of it is killing the process manually. Is there a fix for this or can someone post the Samsung music player? Thanks

So what's next after Andromeda?

Edit: There really are only 2 things left I would like to see in Andromeda and those would be a dialer with Call Recording and the enhanced power menu that is not scrollable. IMO Andromeda would then have achieved perfection!
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
If i'm already on 2.1, is there a need to flash the 2.2 updates?

Anyone noticed any difference?
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
2.2 is bug fixes for camera,wifi, and bluetooth
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Near as I can tell I'm not having any issues with either of those. Should I just skip the update?
[Captivate Android Development] Zugshad:
I applied the new update to 2.2 and then wiped the dablik vache and rebooted. When I go to about phone it still says I have 2.1. Is this correct or do I need to redo?
[Captivate Android Development] droncadin:
how's the battery life on this ROM? I'm on cog 3.04 with latest speedmod kernel and only getting about 10 hours on it. wondering if anyone would have a suggestion for a ROM with great battery?
[Captivate Android Development] Mr.Immaculate:
Installed 2.1 last night, lost all of the messages and icons from my home screen.

Updated to 2.2 and it's all back to how it was before I flashed Andromeda the first time, only still orange.

Interesting.

Still gets twice the quadrant score that it did with just stock and rooted jh7...
[Captivate Android Development] thunderstar2500:
Depends on your usage. I've seen some people report 36 hours in and still at 11%. I honestly think that I would have try try pretty hard to run my battery down on Andromeda. My best advice to you is to give Andromeda a try. If you're running Cognition right now you should feel pretty much at home.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Yeah but he means with the phone actually on. :D

I am about to flash this with Paragon kernel to see how it behaves...will report back.

I turned the automatic data off and my battery life trippled. It seems my two email address suck the battery down.
[Captivate Android Development] thunderstar2500:
Haha, yeah. I think said phone was actually on for 36 hours straight, but probably wasn't being used very heavily. The screen cap was posted a few pages back I believe.

BTW, I'm at about 9 1/2 hours on with 92% remaining. Granted, I haven't used the phone too heavily, but I was in a low signal area for several hours so I think it balances out.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yeah but the screen cap showed time since last boot, not time unplugged.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Can anyone tell me where I can download the update file to go from 1.1 to 1.2??

Is it the one that says "FINAL" in the title?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
That's the full install and will wipe your phone. The update is attached to the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Thanks!

I just saw the attachment - Never noticed it before.

So now since I'm running 1.1 already, I:

- copy to phone

- hold power button.... choose recovery... the phone will reboot into recovery

- choose INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD

- then choose CHOOSE ZIP FROM SD CARD.... then select the "Andromeda_1.1_or_2.1_to_1.2_or_2.2_cwm.zip"

I kept seeing things for "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Do I need to do this before/after the flash or not?

That's it as far as the update, right?
[Captivate Android Development] thunderstar2500:
Oops, I stand corrected.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
I can't wait for a kernel update and Ursa major
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
After the flash
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Thanks for the info. I assume everything went well. I selected the zip file, and it copied a file, then deleted like 15 on the screen... Then it said done. I guess that's normal. As most reported, it still shows version 1.1 (no biggie to me).

It sat for about 2-3 minutes on the "Giorgio Armani" screen - I started to get worried, but remembered that someone else had mentioned that too...

I'm really digging Andromeda so far and I haven't run into a single deal-breaker snag. It seems to perform very nicely - everything runs and operates smooth and lag free.

Thanks Team Komin!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Hopefully a DEV can help. I wanna try the MMS.APK from the stock JH7.

I have the MMS.APK and MMS.ODEX Do you need both files to make it work? I tried a bunch of combos and nothing work..... messaging app is always missing after I install.

Thanks adhead of time.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Yea that happens every time you clear the cache. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Yea I'm assuming the full wipe 1.2 will update the version number in About Phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
you cant use the one from JH7.... its for 2.1-1 and its also odex'd you need a deodexed stock MMS.apk.... see attached for the one from armani stock

just put it in /system/app/ and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
i tried the 'update' to go to 2.2 from 2.1 buuuuuut when it booted past the Andromeda boot screen I got a force close vibrate over and over and over when the screen was on. If I attempted to open task manager to kill off any apps that possibly opened on boot it never opened and kept getting the invisible force close vibrations. So to rid myself of mysterious problem, I had to reflash 2.1. I didn't try it again because it's no real biggy. 2.1 is awesome enough ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Just did the 1.1 to 1.2 update. Other than it deleted my Eclair Music Player, it went fine. No biggie, just recopied the apk to system/app. One question, the original Andromeda 1.1 zip is 184,805KB, but the new 1.2 Final zip is only 165,328KB. What was removed from the original?

Oh, and I still have the problem of my app drawer getting all screwed up on reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Answer below... I wasn't thinking... and if I was... I wouldn't have known.....lol
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
That happened to me one time also..... you could of just did a full wipe 1.2 then update to 2.2 from there..... since you were reflashing....
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
dalvik-cache......
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
I got the same thing...

What i did was to check my widget apps...

Restored those few particular problematic apps from Tibu, and the invisible force closes went away automatically after 6-7 reboots...

[The widgets causing problems for me were typoclock, cachemate & advanced task killer]

Now my rom is perfectly fine.. it's been running 2.2 for the last 10 hours and not a single awkward invisible force close since then...

Not sure, but i think you'll have to let the phone sit a while before you begin doing stuff... This also happened to me when i installed to 2.1 from 2.0

A couple questions that may or may not relate specifically to Andromeda...

I've had some issues sending pictures via Messaging since flashing to Andromeda. It seems the only time I can successfully send a pic is with 3g ON. Is this something with ATT or Andromeda? I can't remember what it did before I flashed.

The other question pertains to "Navigation". Its more or less based on ignorance on my part. Does the "Navigation" app have anything to do with AT&T? For some reason, AT&T charged for over a year for "Turn by Turn Navigation", even though my old phones never even supported it...

I just don't want to use an app that triggers any additional charges from AT&T. IIRC, the actual Navigation app is a Google product (and since it's in the Andromeda build - it couldn't be ATT's, right?), so I can't see any tie to ATT, but I want to make sure before I use it.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:

Problems

I had problems with Andromeda that I couldn't look past

I like the idea of running roms that are based off a phone that is very similar to ie

Rogers or the Armani rom I've had very good luck with Rogers but you have to swap out for an i9000 kernel and modem to get hsupa, which kills bluetooth

So I really wanted to like this rom

My phone has a decent gps chip, it must be one of the exceptional cappy's

it's not perfect, but with the right settings for instance DA_G's att fix it was extremely usable very rarely losing track of which road I was on, I get the best performance all around from the UGJL2 modem

But with Andromeda my gps was really bad, half the time it couldn't even lock when outside, I also experienced the worst internet speeds I've encountered.

I appreciate your work I really liked everything else about the rom, just trying to offer some possible places for improvement in your next release.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I don't even have one.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:

[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:

[Captivate Android Development] Rongvald:
The email client does support exchange - but as with all other Froyo ROMs I've seen, peak scheduling is absent.

Also absent in Froyo, is the Screen Lock timeout setting under "Location and Security" ... meaning that if your exchange server pushes down a PIN/Password security policy, you'll have to type it in every time your screen turns off.

I'm currently in the trial period of TouchDown to work around these issues ... but I'm not keen on paying the money to get a full license ... we'll see.

I flashed 1.2 last night but have been having issues with text input. If I try to input anything in a text box (ie. Google search, username and password blocks, etc) the browser (and even my USAA app) FC's. The only thing I could think of causing it is that I deleted the Samsung Keyboard via TiBu, would that cause this issue? If so how can I add it back? I didn't see it in the system/app folder in the zip
[Captivate Android Development] greystealth:
Its funny to read this type of stuff. Just shows how different each cappy is. Andromeda has been perfect for me and I get the fastest data speeds. All other ROMs have been terrible for me. And GPS is outstanding. Works perfectly. Good luck to you.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Yeah I've probably flashed 1/4 of the various versions of every rom in this forum... ever since I first flashed this rom I have come back to it time and time again... it just works... I'm unbelievably glad I found it.

Was having some weird things going on with data.... trying the JK4 modem
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Forgive me if this isn't related specifically to the Andromeda ROM; but I can't find any info on it from Samsung, so I'm thinking it is related to the ROM...

I just noticed since flashing, that my network icon shows an "H" on it sometimes instead of 3G. I've seen on the icon glossary that it can show either 3G or "E" for Edge, but I don't see any reference to "H".

Any ideas?

[edit] I found some reference to the i9000 based roms having the "H". I assume its AT&T-safe; ie. they won't care...?
[Captivate Android Development] thunderstar2500:
H is short for HSDPA, which refers to the data connection. EDGE<3G<HSDPA/HSUPA. For some reason the stock rom doesn't say it but custom roms do. Don't be alarmed, it's perfectly normal.
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
Non-Working TV Out function is the only thing stopping me from using this ROM daily. Anyone know how to fix it?

Andromeda Rocks but I have Issues with the 1.2 update

Hey guys, Help me out if you can please. (NOTE - I did wipe my Dalvik Cache before flashing any updates, etc.)

Just upgraded from 1.0 to 1.1 and lost my icons in the dock. I can't get them back not matter what I try. Even tried customized grid, didn't work.

I decided to upgrade 1.1 to 1.2 and the icons are still missing. ALSO, when I go to About Phone my build number still says ver. 1.1 (not sure if that was missed with the update or not). I reflased the 1.2 upgrade 3 times and it still says the same thing.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
You would be right, in the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
timbrendelaz: the icons are not lost... it's likely that they are still on your dock. Use the included SGS Tools to restore to the first option... Faster touchwizard. Your icons will reappear. Then you can switch to whatever touchwizard you like.

The difference is, in the newer touchwizards, the dock is not really a dock. It is a stationary part of the home screen... The dock was removed and therefore your icons were removed... They're still on the dock, but it's not there.
