Wipe your battery stats as mentioned in the third post of the Firefly main treat!

I will take a look at that app. But im pretty sure it's not part of thr Rom, im with Firefly since version 2.0.5 and never see something like that!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verfassergeist:
Meh. I suspected as much. Just wondering if there was anything else I should have known about.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomZero:
I've done something similar when I first started flashing my phone, but never actually bricked it.

This past update, I didn't actually time it but im fairly certain it took close to ten minutes to boot, if not longer. I was literally about to pull the battery when it finally finished booting.

Silly question here. Is there any one in Toronto using FireFly? What modem are you using for GPS?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
I'm in Toronto, well sorta, more like etobicoke. I'm using the JK4 modem and it's pretty good for GPS. I've tried different modems but always came back to JK4. The only one that came close was KC1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
Even sillier now. Is the jk4 modem the standard modem that is included with FireFly 2.9? Where can I check what modem I'm using.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
the jk4 modem comes with FireFly, you can check in settings>about phone>baseband version

Ever since 2.8, I've noticed when I'm on a call, the voice will cut out for a half second or so. Reminds me of how cell phones used to be 10 years ago. Anyone else have this problem? I first installed at 2.2 and have been doing the updates since then. And haven't manually flashed any modems (still on JK4) or speedmod kernels.

Any suggestions?

I just installed and put 2.9 on my phone. It works great. only complaint is, ALOT ALOT ALOTTTT of my text messages are not sending, they keep failing, and calls take long to go through (if they do)

any ideas.

Messaging time stamp "fix" is no fix for old eyes

Is there some kind of reversal script for the messaging app like there is for gallery?

This latest update (2.9) implements the messaging time stamp "fix" that themes all the times and dates black on the gray background.

Seems like a neat idea, and I'm sure it looks really cool to some, but I wear glasses as it is, so the first time I implemented this "fix" a month or so ago, I re-flashed so I could see the times and dates (doesn't matter if the times and dates are off if you can't see them, anyway).

So does anyone have either the apk for the messaging in 2.8 or know of some kind of reversal script so I can actually see the dates and times on my messages again?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You could go get it from FF 2.8.zip using Root explorer and replace your new one by it. I duno how the fix is applied so I'm not completly sure it would work but is worthed a try? - Also don't forget to backup your new one if you try it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WirelessMike:
Well, I pulled the mms.apk from the 2.8 zip and installed it, but it didn't seem to change anything...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Umm my next option is to check what file is implemented from the timestamp fix and replace it?

Other than that... flash FF 2.8? lol - Although, I'm sure X can change that on next update if you ask nicely ;)

Help!!! Battery life sucks!

Greetings. I have had FF 2.9 installed since last Thursday. I love it and appreciate all of the work that has gone into this rom. I have had the various iterations of FireFly installed for the last 2 months and 2.9 is eating up my battery. I have been getting excellent battery performance with previous installations of FF. I installed it after a master clear with Odin. Would it be good to clear the dalvik cache and battery stats even though I did perfrom a master clear? Thanks in advance for the help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
Interesting, I just flashed FF2.9.

Flashed at full battery, deleted battery stats in CWM, and installed juice defender and put it at aggressive. Also turned auto sync off and use it once a day :P

Right now i'm at: 2 days 0 hours 43 min @ 21% battery life.

The best battery life i've gotten before this was the first 3 times I charged my phone where I got 3 days.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigsmitty64:
Its always a good idea (recomended actually) to clear the dalvik cache and battery stats and do a recalibrate after installing a new rom. And then let it run a few full (complete drain and complete charge) cycles. Hope this helps :)

Convert Data and System to EXT4 en CWM. No need to use one click lagfix!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
I don't how to do that
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WirelessMike:
I did.

Perhaps it's a personalization thing? Like a theme or something?

I'm wondering if the mms.apk might have nothing to do with the font color for the date and time of each message...

Should I go back further? Maybe pull the apk from 2.7?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
No offense, but personally I would recommend sticking to default (rfs) file system for now. Meanwhile u could go through forums here for some learning, and then start playing with cwm.

Since u r a newbie, before u apply anything via cwm, or play with it, I would strongly recommend taking a nandroid backup (this too is done via cwm) before u do anything in there.

Dare i say its too late? The phone booted but is stuck on the Galaxy S screen
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
Yeah it booted back up after a user data wipe......I am not going to mess with these phones anymore on my own...I am such a fool.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Don't worry. There's always a first time. There's no fun in being perfect right from first time.

When file system is converted, it backs up everything, converts (formats), and then restores stuff back. These steps happen on all partitions. Hence the long boot-up time after file system conversion.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
I messed it up. I had to reinstall the rom, but now I get the stupid 3e failed signature. Even though I did the little zip trick. Aw well FireFly is up and running now so what ever.

I have ff 2.9 and like it. Only thing that bugs me is that when I set wifi to sleep when screen is off it doesn't stay that way. I can check back in 5 min. and it is still on sleep when screen is off, but then several hours later it is on never. Anyone have an idea what caused this? I have not rebooted or done anything unusual with the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
Not sure if this will fix anything but before you exited out of the advanced wifi settings screen (where you change the sleep policy) did you save changes by pressing the menu button and selecting "save"?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
Is it possible to lose your root?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Yes. Although it's not a big problem - you can just use superoneclick (Superuser) to bring it back if it ever happens.

I've tried and tried and i get the same results.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
A little reading goes a long way ;)

Also, for you battery, Lithium batteries are made so when the charge hits 100%, it stops charging until it drops a couple % and then restart charging.

It does it so it doesn't overcharge your battery and by doing so, making your battery last alot longer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
Okay. I am going to run the battery down today and see what happens. I had the phone charging over night and when i woke up and took it off the charger it said 97% so i was worried about it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Yea, nothing to worry about. You have to be lucky to unplug it right when it's at 100% ;)

Although you could reset your battery stats and make it so that 98% shows 100% if you really wanted to. I think it would just give false reading but some people prefer it that way.

General ? on Kernels

i been reading how to flash roms for about 3 months now but this is my 1st post

i been flashing Roms but as a NEWBY

i am running FF4.9 with the K13D speedmod on a Captivate

is this the best Kernel to be running im not looking for a SUPER Droid just one that is Very Stable

also i seem to get good battery life after flashing 2.9

before running COG. in 6 hours i would be at 40%

but now running FF2.9 i can go most of the Day 0600 to about 1900 and still be at 40% or more

Last this do i need to disable Lag fix because im confuse and how do i do this
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Duno if you just typed it wrong but 2.9 comes with Speedmod K13E (latest version) and it is very good and stable!

As for lagfix, you should enable it in speedmod cwm. Convert system and data to Ext4 as well as enable your battery tweaks.

I suggest you go in FF's IRC (the link is in the 1st page) if you need some help on that. I'd guide you through but I'm at work :o

Hello Everyone!!!. Just a little nervous typing my 1st post.

Firefly is The BEST ROM ever seriously!:D

Just wanted to know why is XDA app not included by default? and i would really appreciate options for different launchers.(Free ones)

Personally using HE launcher now, not much options but good for noobs like me who want to use different launchers without too much of hassle.

Sorry for my terrible grammar.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishz:
Is there any way to change the settings menu icons. The newer ones in 2.9 feel mismatched to the whole theme.

And now for the big question. Will FIREFLY 3.0 be based on 2.3 GB or will my head explode out of curiosity?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fractaline:
you can take the settings .apk from 2.8 (or lower) it's in system/app , then put it on your sd.

Drop it in system/app on your phone with an app like root explorer. I use super manager, it's free and allows you to drop .apk's. you will loose clock/no clock toggle.

Second question....... No.

It will be rogers froyo.

But 2.3 is in the oven........

Cookies....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishz:
Thanks fractaline, got the old icons back!!

As for the clock/noclock toggle, doesn't really matter,

as i use he launcher and it can hide the whole status bar!

Eagerly waiting for the next build, whichever it is!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Just a little precision to what Frac said, FF 3.0 will be it's final form (perfect and 2.2 based).

Team Phoenix is getting together to make ONE ROM for 2.3 based instead of having Phoenix, FF, Supernova, Fusion all trying to bring the best outta it on their own and changing all they've been working on for so long with these 2.2 based.

So we'll have both the perfect and final form of these 2.2 based ROM and the 2.3 based one which won't be "perfect" right away but will be beastly!

Anyway, that's how I see it :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishz:
The whole team working together is really great news.:eek:

I have flashed all of team phoenix's roms and all are good.

With the Phoenix team cooking the cookies will be irresistible:D.

I suggest reflashing FF 2.9 (full flash) - not need to clear or go back to stock. do a backup of your apps and restore them 1 by 1 - start with the one you really want/need and test your swype as you restore more apps.

Couple of questions

First off, I wanted to say great job on this ROM @xtremekilla09! I've been using Cog since I started with ROMs and this one tops it in every way so far. I've been using FireFly for a little under 24 hours now and have noticed a few things.

1. The GPS doesn't seem to be all that accurate or I'm not getting a lock like I'm supposed to. Are there any settings or tweaks that can be made?

2. I've seen in the Development forum that quite a few people are getting 15+ hours of battery life out of their FireFly ROM. I was curious if that was through specific settings or usage or if the ROM takes a day or two to settle in and optimize the battery.

3. Is there a way to configure the dock with different apps? I tend to use the phone and browser a lot less then a few other apps, but I want to keep the default FireFly launcher.

I just installed last night from a fresh stock install. I'm running FireFly 2.2 with SpeedMod 2.6.32.9 kernel. Hope any one has some insight for me.

Again, loving the theme and overall the ROM! So fast and smooth! Thanks again xtremekilla09!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fjff24:
A possible very minor glitch?

First of all many thanks!!! Xtremekilla09 you and the team did an awesome job and this ROM is really smooth...I will add is not only olive oil, but cold pressed and extra virgin.

Today I noticed that if somebody that is not in my address book calls me and I miss the call, when I check that call from the phone log, a button that appears at the bottom is "Add to contacts" but when I press that one it takes me to my contact list not to the add new contact menu. On the other hand if I try to call from there and hang up then a button appears "create contact" that one works and takes me to where I can create a new contact with the number. Just letting you know in case this happens to other people. I searched the forum but could not find any reference to it...sorry if had already been reported and thanks again for getting Firefly to us.

1. Try using a different modem, sometimes that makes a huge difference.

2. Yes, it will take a day or two for your battery to be calibrated correctly.

3. Hmm, for this you are gonna have the edit the launcher apk, which is not that easy, so I would suggest using another launcher if it necessary.

I have not experienced this yet, did you by any chance replace your phone.apk?

This happened to me about two months ago when I first tried phoenix, but has not happened to me ever since. I never got down to the bottom of it, but I thought it was just a kernel issue.
