Theme Firefly

how do i put one of the themes he put for download over the firefy rom???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtinShadow:
No, this was before I even was able to do anything. When I first loaded the ROM and rebooted afterwards, it popped up. I did try that upgrade and it seems to make the email app more accurate, but it didn't fix the problem. It's not causing any problems I don't think, I just don't know what it is or what it's affecting system wise.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
If you're talking about the dark apps I posted a while back, most of them you flash with Clockwork Mod like you did to install Firefly. The only one that's different is Google Voice. That download is an apk file and you will have to uninstall the existing version of Google Voice on your phone and install the downloaded apk.

Rotary Unlock Screen

Hey!

First off, Amazing ROM. Best one i've used to far.

Running FF 2.2

I just have a couple of questions.

1st: I love the new Rotary Unlock screen, but i noticed that the "silent button" puts the phone in Silent mode, not Vibrate mode, like the Android lock screen. Any way to change this?

2nd: Any way to make the notifications background the same that the drop-down menu i.e. instead of being white, have it the same shade at the notification bar.

Thanks in Advance :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
When I did the recording, the files went into a new folder "Sounds". Check there, I don't remember what the extension on the file was, it was something weird, but was still able to be played with the stock music player.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Lagfix comes with the kernel. As for the one that comes with FF 2.9 (speedmod K13E), the lagfixes aren't automaticly enabled. You have to go do it through cwm recovery -> speedmod -> lagfix -> convert #2, 3, 4 to Ext4 (data, system and can't remember the last one).

Also, go back one step and into tweaks -> enable battery tweaks.

Then you can say that your phone can Flyyyyy :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjblack11:
Do you know why its not automatically enabled?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
thanks, its doing it right now. and where is the tweaks section? is it in the CWM recovery?

EDIT: another question. how do i change the lockscreen?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yup. Also I think there is an option to covert system to ext4 in lagfix as well ... You are converting /data, /dbdata, and /cache only I believe. I'm running onix which is based on speedmod and its that way, can't remember if speedmod is or not.

Lockscreen is in settings-display
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
Arg..

so i converted everything to ext4 and now it wont allow me root access! Nothing in Tibu, terminal emulator, anything!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
That happens sometimes ... Go to recovery in the speedmod features there is an option to apply root. Just choose the first option: simple.

trying to back up phone

and i was given a message that Busy Box is not installed

go download it in the market place

than i open busy box than it said open superuser and allow root access

when i try to back up data with Titanium back up it said

it couldn't acquire root privileges this app will not work

please verify that your rom is rooted and includes busy box

It's just been 3 hrs since i flashed Xcal's reoriented gb kernel (i used Criskelo's rom v34 from i9ooo forum) and FF 3.0 is here.

I know FF is based on 2.2, so i was just wondering if i can just go back to stock (froyo)from gb and then flash FF.

I am worried bcoz i had replaced the bootloader with a new one when flashing gb.

Flashing any new rom is very hard to resist, specially if its from Team Phoenix.;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
I just did the 3.0 update now my firmware version is 2.2, does that sound right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishz:
Hey Atomic, FF 3.0 is based on Rogers 2.2 froyo. the firmware is the same only some changes have been made, you can go through the changelog.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
I knew the question was silly. I always thought it said something different there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:

And yea, FF is 2.2 based - I must've said that atleast 20 times this week in the FF Q&A and the FF Dev thread ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishz:
Guys please, someone help me out or can you guide me to the right place where i can find an answer, i can't post in the developers thread:(

Another hour more i can wait and then when addiction will triumph over me i will eventually flash FF3.0 and most probably FC my fone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I'd like to help you but Idk much about the gb kernel :( My guess would be to flash stock using Odin and then flash full FF 3.0 but I could be wrong. :o
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
ok, last question...

how do i mount internal sd card?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
Now here is a real question. I lost all contacts, even though I had them saved to my sim. Now it won't read my sim
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
use the proper stock rom flash with odin and you will be fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
plug your phone into pc.

open notifacation bar

click USB connected

click mount USB

well if it wont read the sim, it wont see the contacts on it...

did you try rebooting?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Try getting them back with your gmail account, facebook and such?

I'm not sure why it won't read them off your SIM tho :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
if he sync'd them...

and if its not reading his sim he cant call if he had the numbers
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
I dont get a notification... it opens up the MTP app (for samsung kies)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishz:
Well this the first thing that came to mind:), but then i remembered that i flashed the gb i9000 rom with new bootloader, so if i flash to stock with odin will this mess anything up on the bootloader part.

The reason the doubt comes in play is b'coz when upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3.3 you have to update the bootloader or else you will get graphic glitches and other bugs in 2.3.3
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I told him before clearing his phone to sync them ;) (hope you did bud lol)

Also, I think it can read his SIM, just not the contacts he added to it. Then again, could be wrong :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I'm thinking you should be fine with a factory reset. But that's only my opinion :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishz:
Open up Settings/applications/development and check USB debugging press ok and then connect your usb again.

But by the way, how did you manage to get kies option as it shouldn't be there in the 1st place
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic_R53:
Well it would boot up in airplane mode, then connect to rogers. I powered down, pulled the battery and the sim. Now it seems to be fine.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Either try a battery mod and see if he didn't change the notification bar in them, or flash a different theme if you can't live with it ...

Or more manually: grab the 2.9 rom go into /system/framework and extract the framework-res.apk. Now open the archive with 7zip go to /res/drawable-hdpi(or v4 not sure. you'll know what that means when you get to this part) and find the image for the notification bar, there is probably a couple idk off the to of my head, but once you find them open the 3.0 rom to the exact same place and just drag and drop the images from 2.9 to 3.0

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
Have you flashed a battery mod since upgrading to 2.9? The framework changes from 2.8 to 2.9 were in the battery mods. I'm guessing if you didn't then you still have the old framework files that had the black notification bar.

Here's the quote:

Toggling between "2G only" and "3G" only works on supported ROMs! (CyanogenMod is supported and generally awesome)​

Any ideas why it's not supported on FF and is there any easy way to enable it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
That doesn't make all that much sense they recommend CM but say it's doesn't support aosp? I was under the impression CM was aosp based.

If you want to manually toggle it, use sgs tools, go to secret codes and pick "band selection"

I think the log was indicating the the ROM I have (Firefly) was not AOSP or something. I wish I copied that log entry but it doesn't go back far enough to see it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You can boot into recovery right? If so get a copy of the original and put it on your sdcard through mounting it with cwm, under mounts and storage it's the last option. Once copied flash that see if that fixes your problem

If you can't get to recovery your only option would be odin, I'm confident that recovery will work though...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ippon:
