[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
I did a test initially before flashing a different modem - I called my mom, who had always complained about my phone's call quality (when I was using Andromeda). I reflashed it today and called her with the stock Andromeda modem (Can't remember which it was) - Quality was poor - I called her again using the JK4 modem and she could instantly tell a difference, for the better.

As for the low sound volume, I have noticed that as well - I almost always have to talk to people on speakerphone just to be able to hear them.

Is flashing the speedmod kernel as simple as putting it in the root folder and rebooting to recovery then selecting the zip? Where can I find it to download? Are you referring to this:

[Captivate Android Development] thunderstar2500:
Download SGS kernel flasher from the market and use that to flash your kernels. Oh, and remember to back up ursa minor (just in case), and disable voodoo lagfix before any kernel change.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
You could try JL2 modem..... I liked it with Andromeda best....volume was good.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Try this further improved version instead.
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
Anyone used the XXJK9 modem that came with the Armani that the Ursa Minor kernel originally was paired with?

Just wondered if it would be better than the i9088 one thats in 1.2 FINAL.

I'm in UK so would prefer the best modem and my i9010 came with XXJK9 as stock.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Try it! It's useless for North Americans (including most of the devs) because it lacks the 850 band.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Yes thats the one. Just flash it the same way as you did modem with clockworkmod.
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
Tried flashing using the modem from samfirmware but failed in Odin. Tried extracting the modem.bin from the tar and retried but failed again.

Any ideas?

[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
thanks, waiting to hear from you!
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
I posted a Clockwork zip here.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Apparently so. I updated to GTGTW 5 buttons via SGS Tools and I still get the app scramble on reboot even though I'm no longer on Andromeda.:(
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
That's from a Fascinate forum. Will it work OK on the Cappy?
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
It should -- GTG's original works unchanged on all SGS Froyos, including both Captivate and Fascinate.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Tested it 5 or 6 times. Doesn't disconnect my calls.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
+1 for CWM - Did it today and it worked fine.
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
quick question: Since there isnt kernel development for this rom anymore, is this going to be continued? Or is 1.2 as far as it goes?
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Reading the thread title might answered that one for ya.
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
well that sucks. Seemed so promising with the team and website and all =( Oh well its still a great rom.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
Who said there wa sno more kernel development on this rom ? :eek:

Hi ! ... :confused: if you find any bugs please report , this rom is well as title says , as good as 2.2 can be , I personaly dont think improvement cna be made on the rom side , kernel is still in the air but nothing tangible yet ..
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
It doesn't suck :rolleyes: its the only rom I have zero issues with in the entire development forum. In fact its the opposite of suck. It would suck if they started making changes lol.

Edit: hell I even have multiple backups of this rom just in case they decide to ever change this or the thread disappeared. The only thing that would get me to switch at this point is a near flawless release of cm7.
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
+1

More stable than stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
About the only thing I'd like to see added is support for the Audience chip.
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
Yeap, mee too!
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
Sorry I didnt mean to sound like that :P I meant that the website has a section for extensions/mods and stuff and I would love to see more addons! And perhaps alternate themes (yet to see a Blue Andromeda :P )
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Ill have a blue one up tomorrow. Well two actually. One that's just the glowen theme all blue. And I'm going to update the generation x thread to 2.0 for Andromeda.

Edit: assuming I get some damn sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
OK, one more question...

What are the Ursa Major and Orion's Belt kernels for compared to SpeedMod?

I can't seem to find any info on either one.
[Captivate Android Development] thunderstar2500:
Ursa Major and Orion's Belt are two overclock (oc) kernels that can run at 1.2 and 1.4 ghz respectively. Team Komin hasn't released them yet. Speedmod is good for stability and battery, oc kernels can boost your performance at a potential cost to stability.

Personally, I like Ursa Minor a whole lot for Andromeda as it was built to work with Andromeda from the start. I get fantastic performance and battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Thank you for the information - As per a suggestion previously posted in this thread, I have been looking at SpeedMod only to potentially improve on my headset volume. I have _no_ complaints about anything otherwise.
[Captivate Android Development] thunderstar2500:
No problem. Speedmod did in fact increase my volume, but it also seemed to create a lot of interference from they way I held my phone (something that doesn't happen). It could just be me though.
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
First off I would like to say that I love this ROM. You never realize how much Samsung and AT&T cripple the device until you put a ROM like this on it. But I have a couple concerns.

I actually rooted because the official Froyo KB1 release made me being able to send MMS pretty hit/miss, and without exaggerating, more like 95% miss. In an ironic twist when I flashed this ROM (actually started with 1.1) now I am unable to open MMS. I receive them just fine, but FC every time I try to open one. Since I was on 1.1 I found this thread with the release of 1.2 and at first just tried updating, that didn't fix it so I reverted back to stock, master clear, root, flash 1.2. Still no change. I've also noticed that the version number doesn't change between 1.1 and 1.2, is this just me?

I apologize if this has been discussed but my search results only shown the MMS problem of not sending larger photos, not any problems of opening one.

Thank you for any help because I feel any ROM other than this one will be disappointing.
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
The 1.2 not being 1.2 is ok, it's just a visual thing - build.prop

as for the mms issue, do you have mms settings configured properly??
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
What could I change in the configuration to fix that? I haven't touched the settings but it's not a matter of it not retrieving the message, it just won't open them once I do. It just force closes.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Your definitely changing something that shouldn't be changed if the pro lem is following you through multiple roms. Are your restoring system data with tibu.
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
I was restoring with tibu but I thought that may be a problem so after I reverted back to stock, master cleared, rooted, and flashed 1.2 I never did. I didn't want any outside factors affecting it.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
try a different messaging app

i use GO SMS, but Handcent is good too
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Fc'ing mms is not something that happens on this rom. There is an outside factor. Especially if it's following you between roms.
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
Well I am new to flashing on this phone, not new to flashing in general and I don't know where this could be happening. So is just another back to stock and reflash back in order for me?

Thanks but I would like to use the stock messaging app.
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
Isn't there a special mms.apk somewhere in this thread (or other threads) for people that have issues with FCs?
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
The only mms.apk that I've found is for enlarging the message limit from 640x480 to 1280x720 or something like that. And just to eliminate, that even though it has nothing to do with my problem, I installed it anyways. I'm pretty sure it's irrelevant regardlessly though because that was for people on 1.1 and I'm on 1.2, it already includes that fix.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Just wanted to drop by and make sure everyone knows that we dropped kernel source. You can find it on GitHub here. Yeah, we're still cleaning it up. Yeah, it works fine, its my daily driver. This is not the same kernel that was in any of the ROMs. However, I'm not sure about the state of the initramfs. Don't worry though, we'll fix it soon.
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
Not sure if this is found elsewhere, but is it possible to make available flashable bins along with some documentation of the feature-set?
[Captivate Android Development] sanjeezy91:
hey,

i have an att captivate and im using it with a canadian carrier but there always seems to be the roaming icon on my signal bars. is there any way i can fix this?

i love this rom and i really dont want to change it
[Captivate Android Development] sanjeezy91:
oh okay i fixed it. used the armani modem :)
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
Ok, apparently my problem is that my mms is limited to the 640x480. This is after the 1.2 update, after installing the bigger beeegees zip, and replacing the mms.apk. Has anyone still had the problem after all of these steps to fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Nope...nobody ever did get it right.....

Sent from Precision 3.5 on Captivate using xda app
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
Well that blows. Thanks though, looks like its off to the next ROM in my list. I really liked this one too.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
so swap it out with a different MMS apk.....
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Now that I think about it.... I'm wondering if you could try out the KB1 mms.apk now that AT&T has 2.2....
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Just wanted to say that I'm back on Andromeda after a lengthy flirtation with Cog 4.x. She was a good kisser, but alas, failed to hold my interest (GPS doesn't work near as well). For some reason, I get a lower Linpack score, though (13.6 compared to 14.3 on Cog). I can live with that.:D
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Never trust benchmarks :) The SGS gets a REALLY low score in Quadrant on CM7, so like I said...
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Is it correct to assume that Andromeda is already using the 3dGallery mod from SGS Tools and that I shouldn't re-apply it?
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
Someone post the apk and I'd be glad to try it. But after a very short experience with Twingerbread I came back to Andromeda and I'm not changing anytime soon. Regardless of that one little issue. It's still a far cry better than any other ROM.

I will now. I didn't realize it was as simple as unzipping a ROM and grabbing the apk.

I'm downloading the official KB1 firmware now and I'll try the Mms.apk from it. It seems like I've read in this thread that isn't possible for some reason though. I'm not sure, I've read so much today it's all running together.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
I hate to be "that guy" but has work stopped on the ursa major kernel and updated ursa minor?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
you dont have to even unzip it. assuming you are on windows, or linux, just open the zip file....if you are on a mac... meh...
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
I'm on windows and Linux. I never think of that, I see a zip and immediately unzip. Is there any quicker way to get my hands on the apk without downloading the entire ROM? I don't want to download 20 ROMs just to grab a 2 MB file to see if it MAY work. That's being lazy though.

And the file I downloaded wasn't the official froyo build apparently... I don't know what the hell it was, inside the zip was a tar. Inside that was just 4 files. I'm trying another that I believe is the proper one I'm looking for.

Lord I hope not, ursa major would be nice but I'm interested in orion's belt, just for grins. I don't expect it to be my everyday driver but it would be cool to be able to claim that I'm running at 1.4GHz.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
the official froyo build comes as ODIN flashable. you can mount the factoryrfs.fs in linux pretty easily, then copy all the system apps out and deodex them....OR

you could just find the apks you want around the forums....lol. i dont think the one from KB1 is going to be any better for you since its probably throttled too.

here is the deodexed APK from KB1....drop it into /system/app/ and see if it works for you
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I hate to be "that guy" but read.
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
Yes, it's a safe assumption

Modded Gallery indeed
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Does this ROM update address the low in-call volume issue?
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
Messaging FC's on startup when using the Mms.apk from KB1.
[Captivate Android Development] DaWongOne:
All I keep reading is how good the gps is on andromeda 2.1.

I can't get it to lock in at all. Any suggestions? I'll say this, I didn't have any reception when I flashed the phone.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
The GPS could be a hardware thing, that's another thing I keep hearing. I've never got a good lock with my GPS, doesn't matter what ROM/Modem/Kernal, just doesn't work.

And are you saying that you lost reception after the flash or that you just didn't have good reception at the time of the flash?

EDIT: I stand corrected, I'm on 1.2 and I just got a lock.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
It won't fix a defective GPS. Stock, mine was mediocre. It would take 45 secs to 5 minutes to get a lock, in or out, and had a hard time holding it. At most it would see 8-9 sats, but mostly only 4-6. On Andromeda I get 10 sec locks, they hold and I see 11-12 sats and rarely less than 9.

Sounds like you have a hardware issue.
[Captivate Android Development] DaWongOne:
No gps worked before just took a long time to lock.

I just don't have reception in my area and I had read somewhere that that could mess something up. Forget. There's just to much fun info here.

Okay, just update google maps and it seems to lock in pretty quick, 32feet accuracy
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Keep in mind, that's a 32 foot radius of where it sees your location on the map. Basically, your accuracy is within 16 feet in any direction of that location. Can't really ask for more than that from a non-dedicated GPS unit.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
New theme up, check er out.

Legacy
[Captivate Android Development] khoavuong:
holy crap. looks great.
[Captivate Android Development] redger725:
Radius is defined as the distance from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle. So when you have 32 feet accuracy, your accuracy is within 32 feet of the center of the circle. That is what the accuracy value represents.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
My bad. I meant to say diameter. An accuracy of 32 feet means you have a 16 foot radius in any direction from the location shown on the screen, not 32 feet as you stated above. 16 feet in front, behind, left and right of your position would give you a circle of 32 feet in diameter.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Is anyone else having problems with the WIFI being turned off when the phone reboots?

It seems that lately every time I reboot my phone, the WIFI is off and I've got to manually turn it on. Very annoying as I rely on certain apps that use a lot of data and I try to avoid 3G whenever possible. (Yes, I know I can turn it off).
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Just wanted to say i'm back after a short stint on KB1 then another short stint with Cog 4.1. As was mentioned before, they just couldn't hold my attention the way Adro does. The one thing I really liked about the KB1 versions was the presence of the audience chip. It really does make a difference. I was wondering if the Devs thought about extracting the drivers from KB1 and incorporating them into Andro. IMO, that would truely make Andro "as good as it gets". Well if you could magically make everyone's GPS perfect, that would be the "end all be all", but we all know pigs can't fly. :D
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I reboot my phone at least 10 times a day. Normally twice that. And once in a blue moon the wifi will be off. I believe it has something to do wifi the wifi connection issue when the screen turns off. I've found no fix. Small price to pay in my opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
I'm with you. I came back to Andromeda after trying Cog 4.x mainly because my GPS on Andro just freakin' works awesome. Support for the Audience chip would make Andro the best custom Cappy ROM available.:)
[Captivate Android Development] sanjeezy91:
Hey again,

Just reviewed 1.2 if u guys are interested

New stuff keeps poppin up in development, and I put that on my phone, but I really think I'm ready to give up and just flash back to andromeda.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Until GB 2.3.x comes out as an "official" custom ROM, I think I'm gonna stick with Andromeda.
[Captivate Android Development] T90:
I seemed to have lost my extended shut down controls. In fact I can't even power down with the power button now... Any ideas?

Sent from my Cappy running Andromeda 1.2!!
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Bad download/install. My guess. Download again and reinstall.
[Captivate Android Development] T90:
I figured that would be the answer... just thought it was odd that it would up and stop working after running 1.2 for almost a month. Oh well... thanks for your input!

Sent from my Cappy running Andromeda 1.2!!
[Captivate Android Development] T90:
Would you suggest flashing 1.2 full wipe?

Sent from my Cappy running Andromeda 1.2!!
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
You didn't mention that you has it running fine for a month in your op. I have no idea what would cause that. Did you install a theme not ment fire this ron our something? You could try clearing the dalvik cache before doing a full reinstall. But I really don't know how you could just lose the extended power menu without messing with files. If you just go the reinstall route full wipe is what I would do.

Swype auto correct is running wild.
[Captivate Android Development] T90:
Sorry for the confusion... will try to wipe d cache first. Thanks!

And I haven't themed at all or modified 1.2 at all..

Sent from my Cappy running Andromeda 1.2!!
[Captivate Android Development] creepyncrawly:
That happened to me a couple weeks ago.	I just pulled the battery and it hadn't happened again since.
[Captivate Android Development] T90:
Yea it happened to me a few weeks ago to and a battery pull cured it until now. Wiped dalvic cache and did a battery pull again and still no shut down menu. Guess I need to reflash.

[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Wait what's the newest version? I'm confused there is 2.1 and stuff?
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
1.2 and 2.2 are the most recent versions. 1.2 is unthemed, 2.2 is themed orange.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Well, I decided to flash this HoneyComb theme I kept hearing people rant/rave about.

No one had tried it over Andromeda yet so I thought I'd be the first. First off, it doesn't look that great over Andromeda, and 2nd, it's causing about 1/2 of my apps to Force Close.

So - Is there a way to flash back to stock Andromeda theme without having to start from scratch?
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Your lucky your phone even fully booted. Your going to have to do a full flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Nope. That's the chance you take to be a trailblazer.
[Captivate Android Development] T90:
Just reflashed to fix the extended power menu and I had forgotten how snappy Adro was out of the box! I looked around to see if I could talk my self into flashing a new/different rom but I have seen so many of you do the same only to come back home! I do really hope that when the source drops for official froyo that this team will consider working some of their magic on a new rom. I miss my audiance chip! (only thing missing for me...)

Sent from my Cappy running Andromeda 1.2!!
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
I suspected that - I figured I'd try to flash 1.2 over top of the 1.2 w/ Honeycomb theme I had. I disabled lagfix and reflashed the 1.2zip file - All is now well again. I've tested virtually everything that wasn't working before and I'm happy to report, everything is working just fine again. I've gotta reflash my JK4 modem, but other than that, it worked fine and I didn't have to completely go to stock and go through the whole 9 again.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Is it normal that after I installed version 1.2 it says version 1.1 on about phone?
[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
yep

it's ok
[Captivate Android Development] Hotnicks:
Im wondering what other users are trying for GPS "improvement" with Andromeda.

I have been on 1.2 since it came out and have loved it so far (especially with Speedmod). The only down side is that my GPS is now worse than when it was stock. My GPS can lock in about 10sec, but since flashing to Andromeda, I constantly lose lock, and sometimes don't even get it to lock again without re-starting Nav app.

What do you guys recommend I try for GPS fixes? My phone is from an early build date (1007)- am I going to have to try to get ATT to replace my phone?

thanks for the advice
[Captivate Android Development] KennyXL:
Hi,

Like you, I had one of the early Captivates. Like so many others, the GPS was horrid. No matter what I tried it never really got better. The only thing that got better was I how I rationalized, ignored, or convinced myself that the "update" to fix the GPS was just around the corner (with no small amount of leading on by both AT&T and Samsung). I recently decided to just bite the bullet and call AT&T to ***** them about. The first replacement was better, but the compass was wonky; it was off by about 60 degrees. After calling them back they patched me into Samsung who said to send it in for repair. I asked them for a different phone, but they said they don't do replacements only repairs. The thing about a repair is that you never have the full confidence that it's really and truly fixed. After telling them how ridiculous I though their handling of the Captivates, I called AT&T back and they sent me another one. This isn't perfect either, but it's better. Now, this just might be my rationalizing again, but seeing as how I could do this indefinitely looking for the truly working Captivate (since they probably won't give me a completely different model without a further commitment), I think I'll stick with this one. At least it doesn't put me one block over if I look at it funny. It's like a first date in prison: grit your teeth and just get through it; it'll go smoother for everyone involved.
[Captivate Android Development] Hotnicks:
Thanks KennyXL,

Before I go that route, I want to try and see if I can improve it myself with different "fixes".

From doing some research on here, it seems that Andromeda uses the "DA-Gs" GPS fix. Seeing as how my GPS is now worse, can I "undo" the fix and make it work like stock?
