So...with 2.2 source now released, what might that mean for Andromeda 1.x?

Sorry had to ask...

i897 running Andromeda 1.2
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Well, Andromeda users have been running 2.2 for a long time now. We will be merging the audience driver code into our Ursa minor kernel:o. The rest is updates for AT&T's bloatware.

That is all 2.2 means for Andromeda. We have discussed, and there is interest in creating a Team Komin AT&T based ROM. That would be a step back to start with though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungGun821:
Focus on some awesome themes? :D

is that done in the ursaminor beta2, or should we wait a bit more for that to come.

speaking of ursaminor beta2, what has been changed/added besides the voodoo drivers since the previous non-beta release?

I'm running Andromeda 2.2 again, and today the swype stopped working and it told me the swype trial period has ended. Um...huh?

Suggestions?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
Swype expiring is not rom dependent. It seems to be happening on other custom roms as well as Andromeda. To install a working version, see here.

In another thread, someone said:

If anyone knows of a version we can install without signing up for the swype beta, please let us know.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
That's about the only thing I can see that Andromeda currently lacks that would be nice to see implemented. The only other thing would be the ability to backup my contacts via AT$T as the new Froyo allows you to do, but that certainly is a minor request I can live without since using Android Manager makes syncing to my Outlook file pretty easy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montemuscle1970:
Weird. Maybe extract it from 2.1eclair or 2.2 froyo official. I might try reinstalling the same swype APK from the Andromeda zip and see if does anything. Probably not but I'll give it a shot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Thanks, this method worked for me.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwanhala:
I'm also very happy that you guys are incorporating the audience chip into the new Ursa Minor Kernel as this Rom is GREAT and that seems to be the only thing missing from it.

For the swype issue, I uninstalled swype with TiBu and installed the new Beta without issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ytt3r:
Actually, it's already integrated. Ursa Minor, Firebird, and the KB1 SuckerPunch all have it.

We didn't know until recently because we thought that the GT-I9010 didn't have the chip, which it does.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwanhala:
No kidding! Well, I suppose that it's time to put Ursa Minor back on the phone as I'd put the Speedmod kernel mainly to test in call volume between the two.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
Yeah, I have speedmod installed for the call volume. It helps a little bit. At least I don't have to strain to hear when I'm in the car.

Now I'm thinking of trying out the firebird kernel. That might solve the call volume problem as well as use the audience chip. At least until the new ursa minor is finalized.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
On ursa minor beta 2, ( http://code.google.com/p/teamkomin/downloads/detail?name=UrsaMinorBeta2.zip ) you can turn up your volume to the point where the other person on the phone can hear your built-in speaker.

keep your in-call volume below max.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Thanks Adam for the UM beta.

So the difference with this is improved call volume...anything else?

I suppose this is the rc kernel for the 1.3 build...without asking for ETA on 1.3, any sense if that is days, weeks or months away?

Not trying to be impatient, I just don't flash often (kids, man) and would wait for a more complete update...One of the things I think is great about Andromeda is the stability and very infrequent, well tested releases.

TIA

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
You will need to talk to mxracer and ytt3r about the tweaks to the kernel. They're the ones developing it. I'm making adjustments to the ROM and checking out/debugging issues. http://code.google.com/p/teamkomin/issues/list I know that they have revamped the kernel quite a bit.

I've been testing the nightly builds as my business phone without any serious problems. However, we cannot release 1.3 until the bugs are resolved to either a Wont-fix(samsung issue), or a Verified-Fixed status.

No time estimate. Just wait for perfection, or you can use the nightly build here.

Yeah, thanks for the link, and the info. I flashed firebird this morning, and I'm liking it. Call volume is adequate, about the same as speedmod. I think I'll wait for 1.3 to flash ursa minor.

Hi - I would really appreciate some more instruction on what to do with the Swype fix - I believe I installed it correctly, but nothing happened and the Swype still says that my license is out

I downloaded the zip...

put the zip onto my phone...

I booted into recovery...

Said install zip from sd...

Chose "swype update.zip"...

It installed succesfully...

Chose reboot system...

Open it up, turn on Swype, try to use it, license expired

Did this 3 times and did hard reboots as well - nothing has helped

Am I doing something newb? :) Thanks so much for your help!!!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Here's a hack for swype. If you have swype installed from the previous update, uninstall it with titanium backup first so that it will not intefere with the swype download. For the 132 of you which downloaded the last swype hack, you will use titanium backup to remove it and apply this one. This is a Clockwork mod recovery and it is designed to work with the version which came with Andromeda 1.0-1.2.

1. Sign up for a beta account at https://beta.swype.com/

2. download this link to your downloads dir on your phone.

http://code.google.com/p/teamkomin/downloads/detail?name=SwypeFixInstaller.zip&can=2&q=#makechanges

3. press and hold vol+ vol- and power to reboot into recovery

4. install SwypeFixInstaller.zip from the select zip from sdcard option in Clockwork Mod recovery. The download will be located in /downloads/SwypeFixInstaller.zip

We will come up with something better soon enough.

This was bearable, but then i ran into the issue of every time i was driving in a car, the person on the other end of the phone could barely hear me do to background car noise drowning me out. I did some research and tried flashing speedmod kernel, and that fixed the volume level and car noise, but now the GPS and data speeds are horrible. lol i cant catch a break. do yall have any ideas as to a solution that would fix all of these issues, besides waiting for 1.3?

OK, flashed this and it booted up fine. So far, all I notice is slightly better Quadrant (1490) and Linpack (14.1) scores. Upload speeds more than doubled, but downloads only went up a tiny bit.

As for the Swype update, any advantages over the beta version I have now beyond it not expiring? Do I need to uninstall it before flashing this one like with the fix? I'm a leave well enough alone kind of guy.;)

If you're happy, leave it alone. Your beta is also newer than the one the swype fix includes.

Thanks guys for the ursa minor release candidate. Flashing now over firebird 2 and jk4.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
I've been running SpeedMod kernel and JK4 modem for a while, until a couple of days ago when I flashed FireBird 2 kernel. I didn't have any issues with GPS or data speeds on either one. Everything seemed to work pretty much the same as with the stock Andromeda installation. I did flash both with SGS kernel flasher and not cwm though, if that makes any difference.

I just flashed the ursa minor release candidate, which reportedly includes the JK4 modem, so try that and see if it solves your issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChuckTheHammer:
Modem problem?

I am running 1.3 nightly from 3/20 and everything was fine for 1.5 days until it stopped receiving data. The wireless still works great but my data via att stops immediately after it starts, and the speeds it will pull are maybe .1 mbs. The upload is often >1 mbps (if the test makes it that far). When it happens, the icon switches between 3g, edge, and hpsa repeatedly, pulls a little data, gets stuck for about a minute, then pulls another 5 second or so of data. Any thoughts?

Not running this ROM but for me, this is a repeated issue with Chomp. Seems to pick a random song and assign it as your notification when restoring with TiBu. Just change the notification to what you want in Chomp and it's fixed. Happens 2 out of 3 times I flash then restore Chomp. It's not the ROM or TiBu, I suspect its Chomp itself.

Andromeda3 - does email.apk support peak / off peak schedule control

First - thanks for the team's work on all of the Andromeda versions. I have found them to be the best and actually make the Captivate work the way you would expect. AT&T and Samsung should make a big donation to all of the ROM teams, otherwise I would of thrown this in the trash a long time ago.

One question regarding Andormeda3 - On earlier versions of Andromeda the email.apk did not support peak / off peak schedule control. I got around it by using Cogs email.apk put into the .zip before flashing. On Adromeda3, does the apk support peak / off peak? Would like to know before I flash.

Flashed and email.apk doesn't support peak / off peak. Will grab the apk from Cog and use it. Is there a reason the Andromeda team doesn't include this functionality?

Also, AT&T install includes Quickoffice, so does Cog. I can grab it a put into the .zip, but maybe Andromeda would want to include it in the future.

use andromeda3 and be done. there is no reason to flash something every night unless you are 'beta testing'

forget the word nightly in your vocabulary, if you dont want to beta test just run andromeda3
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
We can look into it. Quickoffice is licensed as a part of your phone and legal for distribution. For the email.apk we will require testing to ensure that we are not loosing features or adding undesired background operations. Open an issue for feature request on our server at teamkomin.googlecode.com for each item and we will evaluate as enhancements.

During the development process we like to test the rom. We make a build which is generated and transferred at non-peak hours... At night. We call them nightly builds. They are our automated system of alpha, beta and release candidate testing. They should be considered unstable and only for the brave. You will likely want to use Andromeda3. In the event that an issue is discovered, and has been reported as fixed, you may want to try a Nightly Build.

I'll add this to the first post.

I also have a recent working version backed up with ROM Manager before I flash anything new. For your apps, you can back them up with Titanium Backup or Super Manager or another program of your choice and then reinstall them after flashing the new Rom.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickover:
Yes, you have to insert before you Flash. I grabbed the email.apk and quickoffice.apk from the COG4 rom. I also like the geniewidget news and weather widget and grabbed it from the Firefly rom. Steps are listed below.

On your PC:

1) unzip the Andromeda and other roms into their own directories.

2) rename and copy the Andormeda email.apk to a safe place in case you need to grab it back

3) copy the email.apk and other apks (if you want) from the COG or Firefly unzipped /system/app directories and paste into the Andromeda /system/app directory

4) Select the data, META_INF, system, and updates directories and create your own .zip file. I would suggest you don't name it exactly the same as the standard Andromeda zip file so you can distinguish them from one another.

5) Copy your new zip file to your phone and load through CWM as you would the standard Andromeda zip file.

I have done this successfully many times, but I am by no means and expert on Android, Linux, or Andromeda. I will not attach the zip files as to avoid any conflicts with any licensing issues that may exist. Standard caveats apply: I take no responsibility if this adversely affects your device or service.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
You can also replace the apk, use titanium backup to wipe data from the email 2.2 app, then reboot. Do not restore from titanium backup because the database is different. This is the main reason we wont just switch. People will be pulling their hair out without a notification before the change.
