Btw everyone, swype was fixed in the q&a thread.

Flashed on Sunday. So far so good. Like it alot. Quandrant score of 1533! Ran on my wife's stock 2.2, 946. Her's will probably get this next weekend. Thanks to all the devs for making my phone great!

Are the new kernals live yet at the website?
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
In reading all the problems with the current Cog 4.x versions I'm so glad I'm back on Andromeda.:D

I can honestly say that everything I need to work on my phone just does on Andromeda. Any further improvements will be gravy.:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
im glad you like it that much , lots of time and effort went into this, since your the flashing/trying roms type of guy Im curious about your opinion on the rest of my work I have floating around these forums :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Wish I could say I am that guy, but Cog 4.x, Darky's and Andromeda are the only ROMs I've used outside of stock Eclair and Froyo. Out of all of those, Andromeda has been the smoothest, least problematical ROM I have tried. I have modded Andromeda, somewhat, with things I like better (Eclair music player, TW) and stuff from in here (battery indicator mod). I do use a lot of things on my phone, so I think my opinion has merit when it comes to usability, and I'm not shy about expressing my opinion. Been 3 weeks on Andromeda with my replacement phone now and can't say I've had a single commentable issue. Everything just works. I look forward to any improvements down the road.:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] cardassianvol:
I can't comment much on Andromeda, but I know I like the Armani stock firmware with the stock + Voodoo kernel. Improvements on top of that would just be gravy. I like to stay as close to stock as possible though. Anyone who likes custom ROMs should try Andromeda in my opinion. The i9010 software is good stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Andromeda 1.2 is a stock Captivate ROM with minor custom tweaks (Voodoo lagfix, boot animation, GPS fix). It is pretty damn close to a stock Froyo ROM without the bloatware.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
There is a new kernal that picks up where the development on the ursa minor left off "scullcap-voodoo" gonna try it out its got voodoo sound
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I would have tried it but I'm not a fan of the theming. I'm more like Continuum 3.5 themed version kinda guy.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
there is actually 5 themes for it (more to come too ), + there is an unthemed zip attached to the OP , not gonna push the issue or anythign , especially Icezar's continuum is a GREAT rom , just sayin with all the themes options for DRAGON , not like your stuck with the original theme

Ouch that hurt man . straight in the heart . :(

Andromeda is one of my babies so let me defend it .

1_ Andomeda is based off Armani ( not a captivate but an i9010 )

2_ If you call these tweaks minor , what isn' t minor change to a rom ?

3_ Granted there is a few more 'minor tweaks that came out since that rom was made ... but still

4_ on second thought you jsut gave me an idea ... :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
lol...i wouldnt call them minor tweaks....we stayed awake WAAAAAY too many hours working on Andromeda...
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
2 are the same basic blue black.... not for me... can't stand looking at it.

1 is monochrome.... not for me need some color

1 Gingerbread green.... yuck hate gingerbread theme

1 stock.... boring

I now there are 5 themes available but none of them are for me. I'm not dissing any of your work.... and actually Andromeda was my first flash which took a month for me to flash cause I couldn't decide.... Kept it for quite sometime.

You just can't make everyone happy..... Choice is great! I wouldn't want all the ROMs here looking the same. Keep up the good work.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I wish all roms had no theme. Then everyone would be forced with picking a rom for how it runs. Then chose the theme they want.

If only t-mobile theme chooser was ported to samsuck.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
Don't forget the glowen theme, I'm using that now and there are three versions of that, and the legacy theme I think thats like eight choices total. The theme doesn't make the rom its whats under the hood that counts.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
No but I still have to look at it.

Hmmm Let me look.....
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Sorry, man. Poor choice of words. I simply wanted to convey that unlike some i9000-based ROMs, Andromeda is actually based on a stock Captivate ROM with almost the same look and feel of stock Froyo, but optimized where it counts. The love and time that went into it clearly shows in how well and trouble-free it runs. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
I, for one, love the Armani font more and more all the time. For fun, I switched back to the stock Captivate font and it felt so boring.
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Has development and enhancement completely stopped on Andromeda? I can understand wanting to move on to something different but I, along with many others, think this is one of if not THE best rom available. There's a reason why people stray, only to come back to a rom that hasn't had a update in a month. I know DG said somewhere that 2.2 is soo "yesterday" but I haven't seen anything else work as smooth or feel as "natural". That being said, I think there are some improvements that would make it even better. With the stock 2.2 source available, it should be possible to make EVERYTHING work as well as it can while still retaining the Armani goodness. The audience chip and voodoo are just a couple examples. I'm still learning how to do things so my personalization of Armani is slow but it all works well. Wish I could figure out how to mod TW. :D
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
No it hasn't as I'm in their IRC channel chatting about 1.3--however I don't know why they don't make that known to the thread since this is definitely not the first time I've seen it asked.
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Well that's FANTASTIC news. I was getting worried when this thread was 5 pages back. I know they don't want to get hounded with the ETA posts and i'm by no means doing that. Was just hoping they didn't abandon this for newer projects. Nice to see they are working on 1.3. If any of the devs are able to or would like to give us a preview of what 1.3 goodness might bring, i'm sure the masses would love to hear from them. :D
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Can someone confirm this rom is still under development? Looks dead to me
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Learn to read people...
[Captivate Android Development] Madtowndave:
Yes it is!

http://code.google.com/p/teamkomin/downloads/list

Just because there aren't 10 releases a week doesn't mean devs aren't still refining what is STILL an amazing ROM at it's current version.

i897 running Andromeda 1.2
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
There was a thread with a chat transcript a few pages back that confirms that development is continuing.

The fact that this thread sometimes falls back a few pages is not a bad thing, per se. If you look at some of the other ROM threads, especially Cog 4.x, much of them are taken up with people having problems. This thread sometimes being slow is just a testament to how few issues users are having with it. That's a good thing.;)

[Captivate Android Development] lownox:
I don't know what it is about Andro that I like so much, but I too always find myself flashing back. Right now, I am on Pheonix Ultimate... but I can already hear the voice of Andromeda whispering... "Come back to me, my son... Come back to me"

LOL

The rom just works.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
For the record , I dunno wether DG said that , but I for sure said it its in the op of my other work , and I stand by it , unless you just use your phone as an everyday phone witch is fine , try to push your phone a bit harder and you ll see 2.2 is definitley what it is , ie older stuff . if you tried Dragon and still think Andromeda is smoother well , thats fine too , I am not gonna argue about witch of my babies I love best :D ...

That being said Andromeda is bar none the best 2.2 rom out there .

Hammer Time .

That would make me your Grand Father , ... oh Dear ...

[Captivate Android Development] the_ahmadzais:
Can someone tell me whats the recent version of this rom and provide a link . Im so confused
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Version 1.2 FINAL is the most recent distro and it's on the first post, but there are nightly builds available via the website. These are betas, though, so stick to the final build if you want a stable phone.
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Yes it was in your Dragon thread, right under SGSSUPEROPTIMIZED (in big bold red letters). :D

I can understand from a dev's perspective that you want to use the latest, but is 2.2.1 really any better than 2.2? Maybe for the phones that 2.2.1 was intended for, but it seems that all the 2.2.1 roms have lots of the same bugs. I assume that's the trade off for having it ported to the cappy but what are we gaining from the 2.2.1 that's not in 2.2?

For the record, this is my everyday phone so everything needs to work as well as possible.
[Captivate Android Development] the_ahmadzais:
I just install this rom and download the 1.2 final that's what the zip file said. But on my phone about settings it says

Build number - version 1.1

Kernel - 2.6.32.9 ursa-minor #8

Baseband - I9088ZNKP1

Firmware - 2.2

Is this normal do I have the 1.2? And my screen is not orange. Its some blurry wallpaper of city
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
I've been running 1.3 for 24 hours and it's perfectly stable--and awesome. I think they're having issues with keyboards--BetterKeyboard crashes and Swype is expired--that are holding up the release; I use SwiftKey and haven't noticed anything.
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
1.1 is normal

Screen not being orange is normal as well. I think you need to download a themepack or something but I am not sure. 2.x are the themed 1.x equivalents--so 2.2 would be a themed 1.2, but I am not sure if they released that as I remember that they deprecated the whole 2.x series.

No idea about the wallpaper.
[Captivate Android Development] ez075230:
Did the website change? The link from the 1st post of this thread (http://teamkomin.com/content/andromeda) stopped working a while ago. teamkomin.com just shows an empty directory list.
[Captivate Android Development] ez075230:
nm, found the file links in the Q&A thread. It was nice to be able to refer to an official website for features, extras and whatnot tho.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
The build properties were not changed in FINAL, so it will show 1.1 in the About Phone screen. If it bothers you it can be changed using SGSTools. Also, the orange-themed version was 2.x and has since been discontinued. It is available as a standalone theme if you want it. All these questions have been answered many times in this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] iraqmilner:
My battery life has absolutely rotten now that I have upgraded to this rom. Can you tell me how you have your settings? Perhaps that will help with my problem.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Are you asking anyone in particular?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
I'm on Cognition 4.2 now but when I was on this ROM I got absolutely fantastic battery life from it right out of the box. Maybe try to do the calibration method on your battery, but I didn't have to do that.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
This roms battery life is above par. You need to make sure your phone is fully charged(million posts on this). You need to make sure you dont restore system data(million posts on this). And you need to make sure you didnt just happen to use the phone more than normal the day you flashed this and tgen blame the rom for the battery use. Also need to make sure the roms zip wasnt a bad download or a bad flash, both can cause problems even though the rom may appear to be working correctly.

Word. for perosredo's work he is now a committer on Team Komin. He has pushed the jk4 modem into our SVN Repository in Revision 43. It is in our repo build available here: http://files.teamkomin.com/Andromeda/AndromedaRepo.zip and it will be in 1.3nightly tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] Thanontos:
After trying out a few other roms, including cognition and cyanogen, I have to say I'm loving this rom the most. Cognition 4.1 was good for me until I updated to latest and 4.2 and had horrible battery life. Same with cyanogen, I had the dialer constantly running which was killing battery and the lack of built in task killer wasn't working for me.

Nice job with this one as for my phone it works great! And while I'm not getting the battery life Miami gets, it still is the best on battery life for me. Easily lasting through my work day and evening. I.usually still have around 30% left or so around bed time.
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
What's different in the current nightly build than the Final 1.2?
[Captivate Android Development] alisher:
Music player

Hi, all.

Installed Andromeda 1.2 2 days ago. It's the best ROM which I've seen.

And I have some questions:

-is it possible to return 'iPhone like' musis control from headset (duble click next, triple click previous track)?

-where is the equalizer for music player?
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Those options aren't available with Andromeda music player. You'll have to download your favorite music player to get those.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Is JK4 not what's in FINAL 1.2? I was under the impression it was.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
He didn't test JK3 though...
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
I tested the modems that appeared to perform good from posts in the 'modem thread.' This is the first time I'm hearing JK3 mentioned.

1.2 had JL2 IIRC.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
People stopped trying JK3 because they figured JK4 "replaced" it. But I believe xcal still swears by it... And I haven't read any reports of it breaking stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Pretty sure it was kp1 that came with 1.2

-where is the equalizer for music player?[/QUOTE]

You can grab the original samsung music player, that has an eq, out of any other rom like continuum, and install it to system>app> with root explorer. You can grab any of the apps from any roms you might have flashed and just install them this way. I have flashed a few different roms, some are good some are not so good, but I always manage to find some very useful apps in them all.
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
JK3/4/5 are all apparently the same.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858481
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Here it is if anyone wants it. I prefer it over the one in Andromeda. You can't install it like other apk apps. First, delete the music.apk file in system/apps (or copy it to folder on your sd card in case you want to go back to it). You can't have both players in there or you will have conflicts with BT because it will try to use the stock player even if the modded player is active. Then you have to copy this file to system/apps using a root access file manager with r/w capability. It won't show up in your app drawer until you reboot.

On the modem issue, someone said in another thread that since I've flashed Ursa RC1 I now have the JK4 modem. Is this true? If not, is JK4 compatible with Andromeda and this new kernel? If JK4 is the best, I want it!:D
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
It did include JK4.

For future reference, you can see what modem firmware you have under 'About Phone' in 'Settings'.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Yeah, major "duh" on that one.:rolleyes: I thought about it after I posted and went and checked. I guess no matter how much we know, we can still be clueless sometimes. Thanks.:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] docflower:
So I updated my broken swype with the CWM swypefix.zip on the website. I hadnt checked my build number for a while, but today I noticed I have 1.3nightly.

Was the update to 1.3 part of the swypefix.zip? Or is this getting updated some other way?

Thank for that. I've tried this and now I have OEM Samsung player but 'iPhone like control' from headset button still not working :confused:

Gosh dang this ROM is so awesome!!
[Captivate Android Development] creepyncrawly:
I installed UrsaMinor RC1 recently, using the link Adam provided over in the QA thread. I was really looking forward to loud in-call volume, but frankly, it's not. It is definitely improved over the 1.0 version of the kernel, which did have rather low in-call volume. I'd say it is about on a par volume wise with SpeedMod and FireBird2, both of which I have had installed recently. I realize that there may have been some changes since the beta 2 version to RC1. If you guys are still working on this, and are still open to additional tweaking, I'd sure like to see the in-call volume boosted even more.

Thanks for all your great work, and awsome rom.
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
Sold1- Is your name Butters Scotch?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Some of it is modem related also....I've noticed JK4 to be softer. I used KP1 when I used 1.2 and it was fine.
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
I'm hoping they'll extract the Audience chip drivers from the KP1 source and incorporate them into the next update. That alone would fix the call volume problems.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Whoever incorporates that chip in will be the man!
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
You mean a DAGr8 man. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Madtowndave:
Fairly certain that ursa minor always had audience chip driver...they just didn't know it was there until kb1 source dropped.

Actually, one of the developers (I forget which one) posted over a week ago that Audience chip support has been in Andromeda since day 1.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Is the option in the menu? Have you tested enabled and disabled?
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
I've always been under the impression that ATT was the ONLY carrier to use the Audience chip. I can definitely tell a difference in the volume between KP1 roms and Andromeda. It's almost like night and day difference.

[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
I'm guessing that you got that version from poking around the Team Komin file server, which I'm sure you weren't supposed to access until they launched it, but my guess is that they have not packaged it as a flashable CWM file yet and you may possibly have the Odin version, or just a zip file with the unpackaged ROM files in it. Who knows........

Why do You think that it's not normal function? As I remember on stock rom we have 'iPhone like' music control. On andromeda I even can't pause music with stock headset and stock music player.

I've just asked how to return stock function which was in stock ROM.

PS. If I've wrote 'iphone like' it doesn't mean that i like apple products.
