If we want to flash the speedmod kernel, which one is the one that we should get.

Currently I am on AT&T with the SGH-I897 but I am using the Andromeda 2.2 which has the 19000UGJL2... so i am somewhat confused since the forum says there is one for AT&T and then there is one for the I9000.. i just want to make sure that i get the right one if I decided to try it.

for those using the Andromeda that is using the speedmod does any know which I would need?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
amen to the call recording, altho they've mentioned previously in the general forums that they're not going to support it here, for liability issues...

unless someone knows how to port it to andromeda?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Seriously? I assume this is due to US laws.

Bear in mind, this is a feature which I will probably never use, but as a matter of principal...

I don't believe phone recording devices are illegal anywhere in the US.

We shouldn't all be restricted by the laws of the most strict jurisdiction (US or otherwise).

I believe it is legal in 38 states (and under fUS federal law) to record calls you are party to and in the other 12 it's legal as long as all parties consent.

I fail to see how anyone could seriously believe they would be liable if some user breaks the law due to his/her ignorance. Just put in a disclaimer if you are really worried about it.

So what's the liability scenario? Some guy illegally records a conversation then gets caught doing so and is prosecuted and so then he goes after the person who enabled the recording feature? Or maybe you get extradited to Vermont for not putting a warning sticker on the firmware? You're a lot more likely to be sued because someone's phone malfunctions in some way causing them to lose a job or, I don't know, die. If you are worried about liability then you probably should stop making unofficial phone firmware. Put a disclaimer right next to the download link saying, "You are downloading unofficial phone software which may not work as intended. You, the user, are responsible for any and all consequences of using said software, including misuse under the laws of applicable legal jurisdictions," if it really worries you.

Go here and grab the first one, the one that says it's for ODIN.

The important thing is that you still grab the one for the Captivate because no matter where the rom came from, that is the hardware you have. This kernel is flexible so it runs properly for many different roms.

You can follow the instructions on the page, or you can follow the instructions I posted here last night (those are what I did and it worked perfectly).

Has anyone had any problems with SpeedMod? I flashed K13B CWM version a week or two ago and had some text blurriness in Handcent SMS. Not really a big deal, but it bugged me so I went back to Ursa Minor.
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
I haven't noticed any issues. I've only had it installed for a day or so, but I've tried all my go to programs and everything looks good. Not a Handcent user, so I can't verify this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] AverageJane:
I'd like to know the answer to this as well...mainly the gmail issue.
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
I posted earlier confirming that the back button wasn't functional in 1.2 with LauncherPro; not sure what changes I've made since but it seems to be working now.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Unofficial black on black fix​

The is about as good as your gonna get without using a different theme entirely so use it or move on. The constant QQ about the black on black text in this thread is driving me nuts.

Flash through recovery or take the framework.apk out of the zip and drop it in your /system/framework/ folder and reboot.​

Best battery ever...my phones charges upto 100% (happened after 5-6 roms) and stays at 100 for more then one hr
[Captivate Android Development] creepyncrawly:
Flashed 2.0->2.1->2.2 and now running without issues, except for low call volume. Really love the rom, but I find it a little hard to use the phone in the car. If I flashed the SpeedMod kernel to check it out, and decided to flash back ursa minor, would there be any side effects? Or likewise, if I flashed back from SpeedMod to an updated Andromeda kernel when it is available?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Zugshad:
Thnx whiteguy, I ended up trying that glowen theme someone posted and that corrected all my issues.

Thnx scottynutz, wondering still if I should try it. For me I don't seem to be having the call volume issue is the issue for others that they can't hear our the person they are calling can't hear?
[Captivate Android Development] thunderstar2500:
Just use SGS kernel flasher to flash speedmod. Oh, and don't forget to backup ursa minor.
[Captivate Android Development] Picard_8525:
This ROM rocks!! I've tried Cognition and Paragon ROMs (which are also very very good roms) but Andromeda I'd say is my best (subjective). Very fast and I love the default font. Clean, smooth and fast, with the best battery life. I'm yet to try out Paragon RC6 but I'll be staying with Andromeda for now.

My Benchmarks (Quadrant)

1. Cognition 4 (1540)

2. Andromeda 1.2 (1492)

3. Paragon RC5.1 (1317)

4. Eclair 2.1 JH7 (881)

Thanks Team Komin!!
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Just thought I'd post a screen cap of the great battery life I'm getting on 1.2. Had BT on most of the day to stream music to my car radio and while mountain bike riding. I also tracked my ride with a GPS app, did some web surfing with wifi, updated some apps in Market on 3G, some phone calls and some game playing. Not too shabby for a 24 hour period.:)
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
That is a good question, which should be aimed at the ROM maintainers, not me :-D

I completely believe that what you do, is at your own risk, responsibility and liability - look at other ROMs, they support it as well, including Darky's

Ahhhhh, will someone help port it already?! :P
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
How is this even possible? Do we have the same phone?

Did you spend a lot of time in 'flight mode'?
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:
Somebody is really good with photoshop. But really though man wtf
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Guys...really? You think I'd fake that screenshot? For what, the adoration of some folks on a web forum? Geez, maybe your lives are that lacking, but mine isn't. That is an unadulterated, unedited screen cap of my phone running Andromeda 1.2. Like I said, I did some music streaming, some GPS tracking, game playing (Angry Birds and WordUp!), some web surfing and Market updates via wifi and 3G, some photo uploading to Facebook and Photobucket and some phone calls. Was never in Airplane mode and GPS is on all the time. I turn wifi off when not needed (big drain). Haven't modded my kernel or radio, just 1.2 as it is here. I have e-mail pushing, weather on the Home screen updating every 2 hours, Google syncing once a day...the usual stuff. If not for the once a week random shutdown, my phone would be perfect.

I think your joke detector might be broken.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
have you given it several minutes to scan all your photos?

works fine for me
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
One comment is a joke. Two is a conspiracy.:D
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I'm sorry but I'm calling BS. Been using this rom for a long time reflashed many many time's and the battery life your claiming just isn't possible with this phone unless you only spent 5 maybe ten minutes tops doing the things your claiming you did and still having over 60% battery life. Unless you control it with your mind and your screen is never turned on. I'm all for hyping this rom, its great, but your going to give people that never flashed it unrealistic expectations. That's something you shouldn't do.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Believe what you want, but what am I to gain by lying? I was impressed, which is why I thought to post a screenshot. Take it or leave it, but calling someone you don't even know a liar on the internet is chicken****. As for almost anything posted in here, the YMMV disclaimer always applies.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Its not a matter of believing.
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
I think it's my joke detector that's faulty.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I never got that good of battery life either but there are so many variables. If he had full service all the time cause I don't. Plus screen shots from usage history is better than those screen shots.... They don't show actual usage times. His times could be legit...but we don't know real usage if we can't see screen on time. Screen on time is the real killer...

Here's a link to the cycling track I did on 2/22:

http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/1023875

As you can see, it is within the time period of my screenshot. That's 47+ minutes that the phone was tracking me by GPS and I was using BT to listen to music, not to mention the several times I turned on the screen to check it (first time using that app and I wanted to make sure GPS signal was not lost). That's only a small example of the usage during the 24 hours of that screenshot, but it shows that I was indeed using the phone for more than 5-10 minutes that day.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
The screen is the killer.....i can have pandora go for hours and barely touch the battery

Sent from my Cognition4-Captivate on the XDA-App
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Actually, wifi is a pretty big drainer, too, but I agree about the screen. I probably had the screen on a total of 2.5-3 hours during that period. I know I was playing Angry Birds at least an hour during that time. Still, I have really poor reception at my home (1-2 bars if I'm lucky) and have never gotten good battery life with any phone. That's why I was so impressed by this because the day was pretty normal usage-wise. I put the phone on the charger every night, so it isn't a big issue, but it is nice to have more than 40% battery at the end of a day because that means I'll have plenty of power should I need to do more with the phone on a given day. I flashed to Cog 4 last night and am already a little less impressed with the battery drain compared to what I was getting on Andromeda. Pretty sure that when my replacement Cappy gets here today I will be going back to Andromeda 1.2.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Odd...well I'm on wifi-n and it uses less battery than 3g data. I can go 8hrs with pandora on wifi and use less than 10%

Btw... Are you on 3g or edge?

Sent from my Cognition4-Captivate on the XDA-App
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
It bounces back and forth because reception is so bad where I live. I just know that when I leave the wifi enabled the battery drains noticeably faster, so I only enable it when I need it. I'm also on Wireless-N.
[Captivate Android Development] DaWongOne:
Sorry for the noob questions. I flashed andromeda 2.1 after flashing to stock. I did not master clear. Does this matter as I'm reading to clear the dalvik cache?

What I really need help with is the market app reverted back to the ugly green. How do I get it back to the black one. I know I read something about this somewhere but can't find it anymore. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Try the Apps and Themes subforum. There are several versions of Market color schemes for Andromeda. Master clear isn't necessary, but you should clear the Dalvik cache from within CWM recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:
Miami I wasn't art all calling you a liar. Think its great you get that battery life. Was just amazed.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
I didn't think you were, it was someone else. No worries.:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
OMG. How do you achieve that?

My battery drops by 10% in 8 hours only if i leave it on standby.

My battery is usually gone within 4-5 hours of ultra heavy (almost non-stop) battery usages.

(3G surfing, movies, email, facebook, games)
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
It depends on what you're using. On a recent flight from Ft. Lauderdale to L.A. I watched over 6 hours of movies and had more than 40% battery left when we touched down. Of course, the phone was in flight mode and I wasn't using wifi or GPS, but since the display is the biggest battery hog I thought that was pretty remarkable. And that was on the stock 2.1 ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Madtowndave:
I know there's a lot of activity on other threads what with the official KB1 release, but I'm very happy staying with Andromeda 1.2

Great battery life and does everything I need it to do. Thanks again guys!

Hopefully the eventual release of the KB1 source leads to some good additions as well!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I don't know... Only thing running was pandora with the out put they the headphone jack to self powered speakers. I was streaming it thru wifi-n.....

Screen on is what kills the battery.

I just want to flash the Ursa Minor kernel...

I have downloaded the 1.2 FINAL zip. Can I just pull it from there and if so, is it just the zImage?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
I flashed to stock yesterday to try Official 2.2 - Needless to say, I'm ready to come back to Andromeda - I had 1.2 previously but am thinking of trying 2.2 - Is there a full wipe 2.2 available or do I have to flash 2.1, and then go 2.2 with the update?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
look at the original 1.0/2.0 thread. Chrisryn posted his kernel up as a CWM flashable

in answer to your question, yes the zImage is the kernel, you can either drop it into a rom and use it or make a CWM flashable of it
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I got a bug. I am not able to control my music app which is powerAmp by using my earphones. I use that feature a lot and thats why bough poweramp...
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I think it is about time I try out Andromeda's newest release. I can't wait to see how it works on my device!
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
I had this same problem. The only fix was to remove the stock music player's apk because the controls default to using it instead of Poweramp.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
but that doesnt happen in other roms....also it shud control stock app, but it wasnt doing anything...
[Captivate Android Development] DaWongOne:
Thanks Miami_Son,

PS how are you getting that battery life. I just flashed Andro 2.1 and at best I got 6hrs, wifi on , texting and trying to get my market back to black

thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Well, according to some in here it is via Photoshop.:D

Seriously, not sure other than I have used the recommendations in the battery threads to condition my batteries. Wifi is a huge drain, so I only turn it on when I need it. I use standalone GPS, as well and a pretty dim screen setting. Right now I'm on Cog 4, but when my replacement phone gets here today I'm pretty sure I'm going back to Andromeda. Man, I wish this phone didn't have random shutdown issue.:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
Any chance an updated version of Andromeda is in the works based on the official release of 2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Probably not. Andromeda is already based on a Captivate 2.2 ROM. The Armani Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Yeah, but it'd sure be nice not to have the I9000/10 based stuff going on...

One problem I'm having is with call quality - I've gotten reports from people that my phone has poor sound quality and has a 'tin' sound to it. Is this a modem kernel issue or something that I can fix w/o switching ROMs? If so, HOW?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Maybe it's the audience chip. Try Cognition 4 and see what they say about the sound.

I'm playing with Cog4 right now, but I don't have voice service on my phone so I can't test it. Using a SIP client it sounds fine.

# find -name '*audience*'
find -name '*audience*'
./data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/audience_pref.xml
./system/lib/libloadaudience.so
./system/lib/libsaveaudiencesetting.so

[Captivate Android Development] DustinDD:
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm on Andromeda 1.1 at the moment and I'm trying to upgrade to 1.2. I go into recovery, wipe cache, and flash the zip. Everything goes fine, and it boots up without my apps etc. Like any other flash. But it still says I have 1.1 installed. Am I mistaken and there isn't 1.2 out just yet or am I doing something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] psloan:
I am pretty sure they just did not update the version to 1.2 in the install you are aok. Mine says the same thing and I am at 1.2
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Yea they didn't update the ABOUT menu version.
[Captivate Android Development] DustinDD:
Oh ok tyvm
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
OK, got my replacement Cappy today and after much tribulation I finally got Andromeda 1.2 up and running on it. Here's my problem, as I reported in a previous post in this thread, for some reason every time I reboot, my app drawer screens get all jumbled up. Just like before, I have my screens all sorted by app type and, just like before, some of my games get scattered from where they were to other screens. New phone, new flash, same problem leads me to believe it is an Andromeda issue. Is anyone else seeing this kind of issue? I love Andromeda, but this is a real pain in the ass.:(
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
so use a different launcher. thats not a rom problem, its a launcher problem....
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I used SGS Tools to install a better TouchWiz launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Only does it on Andromeda. I'm back on Cog4. Started getting some FCs of Google stuff, and NO I did not restore any system crap, just my apps.;)
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
Guys, is it just me or is it expected behavior for the phone call to disconnect when unplugging the headset?

Kinda limits you if you start off your call with your headset then decide to remove it :-D
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Andromeda uses GTGTouchwiz, Cognition uses regular Touchwiz....hence its not a rom issue, but a launcher issue
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Ah, that makes sense, then. Anyone else seeing this issue?

I LOVE Andromeda, but I have found one problem that makes it unusable for me... I'd bet there is a fix, but I need more info.

I have found that my call quality with the modem that Andromeda uses is seriously lacking - Most everyone I talk to tells me that they can't hear me well and that my voice sounds "tinny".

Just for comparisson, I swapped to a ROM with the JK4 modem and now call quality is back to 100% fine again.

Is there a way to still use Andromeda, but use the JK4 modem?

Any help would be great!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Just flash a jk4 modem to it

Sent from my Torch-Captivate on the XDA-App
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yes, just flash the JK4 modem or replace the one in the Andromeda zip with JK4 before you install.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Pardon the n00bness here, but where would I get the JK4 modem? What's the process for replacing it in the Andromeda zip?
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
You can grab it from the modem thread, extract the modem.bin from the zip file, and put it in Andromeda's updates folder.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
SO here I am as usual with my obligatory question....any news on beta oced kernels lol
[Captivate Android Development] Thanontos:
The modem thread up top in the stickie section will have it. Just download it and put it to your SD card and reboot into recovery and select to install zip from sd card. Then pick the modem file you put on the sd card. When you reboot you're done.

Now for my question as I can't seem to get to the bottom of this. I have an issue with my widow. I can connect to my router fine with no issue but if I turn on my pc, after shutting my pc off I am no longer able to connect my phone to my router. A reboot of the router fixes the issue until I use my pc again.

I use a linksys wireless n router and I have set it to wireless G only on a 20mhz channel 4 because I live near like 12 different access points. I am using wpa2 security too. Im trying to figure out what the problem is. I've even tried giving my phone a static ip address and that didn't work. When I log into my router I see that the phone is listed under clients but my phone still says obtaining an ip address.

Not sure if this is an issue with Andromeda or my router and to be honest don't feel like flashing a new rom as I got this one set up to my liking:-) Any insight would be appreciated

I recommend flashing speedmod kernel along with the jk4 modem. The kernel ursa minor that comes with this rom has low call volume I cant hear anyone unless I am in a very quiet space. Once I flashed the speedmod kernel it fixed the problem, but I also recommend the jk4 modem.

I have been waiting for an updated kernel and ursa major since this rom came out, but I am starting to give up on that.
