[Fascinate General] worwig:
Not exactly.

I designed my own charger for my Fascinate. I have a clip on the handlebar of my motorcycle, and built a charger into it. Even purchased a small bag of bare micro USB connectors. So I can use the GPS, and charge, while riding.

What I found is, the Fascinate 'pulls' about 350ma from the 5 volt supply. I also tried 4.5 volts and 5.5 volts. The Fascinate continues to pull the same 350ma no matter what voltage. AND, the Fascinate always thinks I have it plugged into a PC, showing the message to mount the SD card. And this is fine, if it were plugged into a PC, because the typical PC USB max current is 500ma.

BUT, if you tie D- and D+, the two USB data lines, together, then the Fascinate realizes that it is not plugged into a PC, and it pulls about 550ma from the USB. This would exceed the typical PC power power. This was true from 4.5 volts up to 5.5 volts, again, not changing from that 550ma. Plus you do not get the message to mount the SD card.

In the end, I shorted D+ and D+, and used 5 volts (I feared that 5.5 my get it too hot).

If you plug it into a charger, and it is displaying the message to mount the SD card, then it just means the charger is not going to quick charge the Fascinate. It will charge, but slowly as if it is connected to a PC port. If you are creative, you can short D- and D+ together in the charger, and not get the SD card message, and charge faster.

BTW, in the bright sun, full screen intensity, running the GPS with Trapster (Google maps displayed and constantly loading), the phone still only pulls that 550ma max, and STILL runs the battery down a little. :eek:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonsieurD:
I searched this but couldn't find an answer to this specific question:

How can I backup my settings (home screen config, email accounts, calendars) and restore them after a full wipe and custom ROM install?

Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonsieurD:
By the way, I am using Android Revolution HD 2.0.11 and want to upgrade to 2.0.12.

I have root, s-off, ClockWorkMod Recovery 3
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonsieurD:
Maybe I need to give some more background info.

I know how to backup and restore with Titanium Backup.

The problem is that I want to restore *only* the settings related to home (desktop), email, and calendars.

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Don't know about android revolution but if you are using adw launcher you can backup up your desktop config from within that, calendar settings could be dealt with by google and my backup for email settings
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonsieurD:
I have downloaded MyBackup Root (free) and it lets me backup exactly what I wanted.

I still haven't tried the restore though... When I do I'll post back here.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
When i saw your first post, i was going to ask you to use MyBackup pro works well...importing everything from 2.0.11 to 2.0.12 might cause problems.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonsieurD:
I have used it this weekend. Restoring contacts resulted in double contacts (I assume it is because the phone downloaded them from Google).

My home screen was restored fine, but it used to be "Work" scene and it restored as "HTC" (default) scene.

Restoring Home, Contacts, Calendar, does not restore account information (I guess it is stored in System).
[Vibrant General] khulsey:
i just flashed bionix 2.2.1 over nero v5. everything was working well with no problems. i was looking through the settings and decided to change the lockscreen to the rotary one. after changing the lockscreen the phone now isnt able to load the rotary lockscreen and is constantly rebooting. it goes from the team whiskey load screen strait to the homepage and totally skips the lockscreeen. but it never stays on long enough to change the settings or reboot in clockwork or recovery. how can i fix this?:confused:
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Not sure what the rotary lockscreen does, but i had a similar problem, reflash then try again. if you get the same problem, then reflash and abandon the rotary lockscreen use. For whatever reason the rotary would work on my wife's phone but not mine no matter what i did and out phones a built 7 days apart both running exact same setup........ go figure
[Vibrant General] golmar88:
If you can get into recovery (via hw buttons), try wiping delvik cache and fix permissions. Not sure if it will work or not but worth a shot.
[Vibrant General] khulsey:
thanks guys for trying to help. but the phone would never let me change anything because after it would reboot it would lock up and reboot again over and over. luckily i could get into download mode and just odin back to stock.

Before i start i know you cannot get htcsense.com on cyanogen but what i want to know is there an equivilant i could get for the cyanogen mod? Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smanzor88:
Hi guys, i used the search button but was unsuccessful. I was wondering out off all these cooked ROMS which one comes with the most basic stable experience but with some cooked enhancements in it.mainly i care about is battery life, i want it to be at least par with stock battery life....coming off a g1 and switching from ROM to ROM made me so addicted which i ended up switching everyday...but at the end I ended up using cyanogen because it was so stable and vanilla that nothing beat it. So im looking for cyanogen kinda based ROM on the captivate because the carriers are taking forever to release 2.2. thank you for looking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Um.. I'm going to say the most "stock" ROM with enhancements... is designgears Cognition.

There are a few others out there that are stripped down to run fast - but IMO his is the closest to what a "Stock" samsung ROM should run and look like.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smanzor88:
yes thank you for the good jump start! have you used it personally? im not picky at all so all opinions are great!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I have used Cognition for a long time and I have always enjoyed DG's work.

I'm currently running Serendipity because I like to try the different ROM's out there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perosredo:
Simpfinity is as close to stock as you can practically get. Barely any enhancements, just much less bloat--but it isn't taken to the extremes of, say, Precision, that are barely usable after a straight flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizz0wn3d:
Precision barely usable? How so?

I'm running the Precision/Suckerpunch combo and I have to say it's pretty amazing. It's the smoothest I've had my phone run since I bought it, and so far the battery life seems to be just as good (though I haven't given it very many charge cycles since I flashed.) :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
my question... whats the point of flashing a barely changed rom? bloatware can be uninstalled from system apps, new camera apk can be added, slightly optimized kernel. DONE.\
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perosredo:
I found that I had to manually install a lot of 'bare essentials' apps/services after a fresh Precision flash.

There is a lot of bloatware on a fresh phone, and not just the stuff that appears in the app drawer, but also background services and the such. Yes you can remove it yourself, but I didn't feel like going through a list of a couple hundred obfuscated filenames and googl'ing each to find out what it does.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizz0wn3d:
Eh. Then the rom isn't what you're looking for. The only thing I added back in was the google quick search and the widget organizer. I love how many useless services and other boat it gets rid of. It's the smoothest rom I've used so far.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xaltotun:
I have installed COG 3.03 and find it great.

I want to unleash the power of the Wolfson DAC :D, and for that it seems I need a compatible kernel.When I installed the Voodoo App I got the message to do so.

Now I have search many, many, many threads, and I am MORE confused if anything; can someone point me towards the correct (and clear! 100 pages long threads make it very confusing to see what is the consensus) info for the following questions:

Which

kernel should I choose?

How do I install it?

Do I HAVE to change my

modem

if I change the kernel?

Will the kernel swap have any incidence on

future ROM choice

I might do?

Will changing the kernel do anything to my

reception

(which is super great)?

Any help is appreciated; again, I tried understanding what to do by myself like a big boy, but I got to read so many threads in some many directions, that I can't make a clear choice....

Samsung Galaxy S

Firmware 2.2

Baseband I896UXJL1

Kernel 2.6.32.9

Cognition 3.03. Update 2

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
Hmmm, isn't this what Supercurio is doing with his kernel drivers? Some kernels in here already have supercurio's code in, and you also need to use the app he made.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pillz424:
I think almost all recent kernels support it. If it says supports voodoo sound there you go. Try hardcores kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s44:
Supercurio's audio thread has a link to all the kernels with Voodoo Sound. You can also just look for the phrase "Voodoo sound" in the short description.

Unfortunately, AFAIK every Voodoo sound kernel for Captivate is i9000/i9010-based, which means you'll have to switch modems (and lose bluetooth calls, unless you also switch to a different ROM) as well.

I'm sort of amazed no one put this and BLN into the native-Captivate Rogers Froyo source yet. DG said he had a test version of this combo *weeks* ago, but no release thread. And somehow no other kernel devs are interested... :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pillz424:
Oh yeah, someone will kill this thread im sure cause it doesn't belong here. Should be in q and a.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delugeofspam:
Yeah, I see this thread being moved or locked soon.

I run Cognition 3.04 with hardcore's speedmod kernel, which has the Voodoo Sound 4 drivers in it. I use the T959D TLJL3 modem which gives me great reception and killer data speeds.

When you flash a new ROM, you'll probably be wiping and reinstalling everything anyway, so chances are you would have to flash whatever kernel/modem flavor you choose again anyway.

So:

Which kernel should I choose?

Any REORIENTED i9000 kernel with Voodoo Sound 4 will do.

How do I install it?

Most of them have the option to use either Odin or Clockworkmod Recovery. Since you're already using Cognition, make sure the Clockworkmod Recovery that you use has RED FONT. If you're installing the speedmod kernel it will be GREEN FONT thereafter.

Do I HAVE to change my modem if I change the kernel?

Since you're probably going to be flashing a reoriented i9000 kernel, i9000 modems will work best. I've had no problem running the JJ4 Captivate modem, but others have. Also, like I said above, the T959D TLJL3 modem is great.

Will the kernel swap have any incidence on future ROM choice I might do?

See above.

Will changing the kernel do anything to my reception (which is super great)?

This is certainly more affected by your modem than your kernel. I haven't seen kernels have any great effect on this.

HOWEVER, it's worth mentioning that i9000 kernels will chew up more battery than Captivate ones. Don't count on more than 20 hours of battery life... if you can even get that on a stock phone, LOL.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pheonixdx:
To flash a new kernal you can either use CWR or SGS kernal flasher from the market to install it. You do not have to change the modem when you change the kernal and when it comes to picking one that will work with voodoo you can usuall find that out in the original post.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bust it:
I am using cog 3.04 with the firebird 2 ver1 and jk4 modem to use voodoo control. I flash back to stock cog.3.04 kernel & modem when I want to use bluetooth. Speed mod kernel caused my phone issues. Seems to be trial and error with each phone, good luck with your set up

Is Juice Defender part of Steve's 1.7 ROM?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazman325:
No, Juice Defender is a separate app. It is supposed to automatically monitor and change certain settings to increase battery life between charges. One of these changes is blocking data connectivity at certain pre-set times or events.

While it does slightly increase my battery life, the trade off in wifi/data connection issues outweighs the increase in battery life for me.

[Fascinate Android Development] hazenberger:
Thanks. Quick follow up. How do I run the script using terminal emulator? Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] upsidedownaaron:
ok, i had to first download it to my phone.

go into astro,

find "download folder"

open said folder

find batt stat file

open it, look for system

ultimately you need to find the file labeled with the name "script". but you cannot "open" it. you long press on that file and then open it in in text editor.

then you delete the first two characters which is the #!. then long press that page, select all, copy.

press your home key at the bottom of the phone,

open up your terminal emulator app (which if you are embarking on this, you should have downloaded long ago from the app store)

type "su" from the $ prompt. it should then give you su access and you will see the # prompt.

long press the screen again, and select "paste".

this will autorun and restart your phone. if it doesn't restart, you did something wrong.

bear in mind, i am not a genius, and i have almost ZERO knowledge of development or how to use adb, and i figured it out on my own in about 20 minutes.

so you can do this. plus, if you do something wrong, "most" of the time the worst that will happen is nothing. the adb shell in the terminal only responds to very specific text commands. so don't be too scared.

helpful?
[Fascinate Android Development] hazenberger:
Perfect (except you typed copy when you meant paste ;-> ) the phone reset itself. Now to see if there is any difference in batt life.
[Fascinate Android Development] harpdoc:
Thanks for the detailed instructions, upsidedownaaron. I found them helpful. However, near the bottom of your instructions you say to "copy" from inside Terminal Emulator. I'm pretty sure that you meant to "paste" the script that you previously copied.

oops, retard moment fixed. =)

edited to say "paste".

i most likely missed that due to eating paste.
