HOww do i?

ok I'm having a situation here. I have andromeda 1.1 right now flashed on my cap but the battery is pretty bad it shows display at 99% even though my display and everything is on low and causes my battery to drain out quickly.. I just deleted the auto task manager as well because i heard it does more harm to battery now in these roms .. but the question is how do i go to 1.2 now?

i previously had 1.0 and i ran the updated to go to 1.2 (had a problem in the middle and phone went into infinite loop but i was able to go back into recovery and updated to 1.2 without using odin or anything..

Now the only 1.2 i see says that its full wipe? does that mean now i have to ru ODIN and go thought the whole process again or can i just drop the zip file and hit the recovery ??

sorry i know i am a n00b still :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
ODIN is a completely useless step that is only needed when something goes terribly wrong. you never have to use ODIN to switch roms, unless you messed with the partitioning and the lagfixes....if you just installed a rom and left it the way it is in regards to the lagfixes, odin is not necessary. just flash the update if you dont want it to wipe
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane08:
THank you ..i just flashed to 1.2 from the thread but my phone still says that it is on 1.1 ? thats weird...and it still deleted eeerything from my phone..

Thank you for your help, so basically aslong as i stay on andromeda i won't have to use ODIN right...if i flash a different rom such as Phoenix or somthing then it will be necessary for ODIN due to the change in lagfixes etc??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
the 1.2 update build.prop was not updated to reflect the new version. known issue, and it hurts nothing

as far as using ODIN, i have only ever had to use it when i have screwed something up royally....i havent used it to switch roms in months

Hey,

I'm thinking about flashing Andromeda and I have a few questions :)

1. Is Andromeda based off of 2.1 or 2.2? Edit: Found out it's 2.2 :)

2. I'm currently on official 2.2 froyo, do i need to go back down to 2.1(If that's even possible, lol) to flash Andromeda.

3. What's the most stable and up to date build of Andromeda to use? I would want the unthemed one(V1). I saw in your main thread that there is a 1.2 full wipe. Would that be the one for me to download, or the 1.1 from your main site?

Thanks :)

I'm running Andromeda 1.2 again after trying some of the other ROMs out there.

I was on the http://andromedarom.weebly.com/ site and noticed the Extensions section where I found the Boot Animations. I'm currently using the "Android Drawing" one. I am curious - It looks like the .zip file has some folders along with the individual screenshots that make up the animation. The last/final pic is in it's own folder.

I'm just thinking that it'd be cool if I could make the last screen say something like Welcome To above the graphic... I tried to make changes to the last file (keeping the file name and location the same in the .zip) - I copied it and the animation stopped right before the last screenshot PNG file.

I tried it a second time and same thing - It skips right over it. Is this something I'm doing wrong or am I missing something here?

[edit] Fixed now - Apparently when I rezipped the file it tried to compress the modified picture.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
lets let logic have a swing at this:

you backup your rom with CWM, this is a nandroid, a complete image of your phone setup

if you load a new rom and RESTORE that nandroid, what was the point in loading a new ROM????

use titanium backup. backup your apps. if you want to make a backup of your rom, go for it, but if you restore all, you are RESTORING OVER the freshly loaded rom. all for nil.

backup your apps, reboot to recovery, install rom, install kernel of your choice, boot into OS, load up titanium backup, restore your missing apps+data. done
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
The point is that if the new installation goes south, I have a backup. That's one main reson for backups.

That is my normal process. But in the end there is still a lot more work to do. The 7 pages of widgets do not restore; and several other things I won't go into.

But thanks for the path to reload reminder.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plwalsh88:
Quick question for everyone..... since it seems like the chatter in the Andromeda threads has been pretty slow lately, I was kind of wondering what the guys of Team Komin have been working on. Andromeda3 has been the one and only ROM I've ever used because I absolutely loved it, but I've been thinking about upgrading to a SGS2 or Skyrocket. And to help me decide between the two I thought I'd check to see if any of the Team Komin guys were developing for either one.

I just want to know if there some Andromeda-quality ROMs out there for those phones. Since, unfortunately, we never got to see an Andromeda 4. Damn Armani source. So are any of you doing development work for the newer phones?

Hi guys.

I have the I9010 european version with XXKB2 oficial firmware. The lag of the phone is killing me and I wonder if I flash the Andromeda 3 rom will my phone be fully functional? Cos I flashed 2 roms for Captivate before and I had some problems. I could not use the telephony because of a big noise during the call and the phone was closing right away after connecting usb cable. So if it is ok to flash it, I can find all I need at the beginning of this thread? I'm a beginner, so please take me easy. I don't even know what a kernel is, I just wanna have a decent firmware for my phone, cos it feels like the guys from Sammy have forgoten the GA users. Thanks!

Hi im very begginer here too, and the android world.I have an i9010 like you.Well my first rom flashing is andromeda3/ursa minor kernel.Its super fast, no lag,great battery life,voodoo sound etc...so it is great,this was my first rom/kernel flashing,my only problem is that i lost the continuous auto focus on video recording, and nobody wants to help me so dont know how to fix this,but this is the only problem.Now i want to install gingerbread bootloader on to my phone, but its risky...so maybe i dont try it.

I just got this captivate from my sis a cuple of days ago. I came from the SGS4G. I rooted and unlocked it to run on my T-mo service. I had trouble getting CWM and I tried EVERY method on the forum, to no avail. So I odined the GB bootloaders, with a 2.3.something stockie. Bam I'm in business! I have the samauri kk4 kernel and illuminance Rom. Pretty smooth, Great wifi and, data, and call reception! I saw this andromeda Rom, With the KK4 modem, and I thought I could get the same service, and with the theme options, It Can look great also.

so here is my dillema: The GB bootloaders are supposed to be able to back run, where I can run Froyo Roms without duping the bootloaders by returning to stock. Not true with this rom though, just my luck. :rolleyes: So I would have to revert to stock rooted rom, but then I cannot obtain CWM to flash this ROM. Your directions mentioned odin files for the andromeda 3.0 and ursa minor v2....did I miss them? I looked several times and downloaded only the flashable versions. I tried to flash the kernel, i tried to flash the rom ony, all to no avail. help please!!! :confused:

Boot Animations

won't boot

Hi guys, I have been using Andromeda for almost a year. It has been the only ROM I needed. However, today the machine started to act up. Notification window would not scroll all the way down. So I rebooted thinking that might fix the issue. Now it won't boot past the "Ursa Minor" screen and it says "R??? operation" and starts back to the AT&T world screen. It keeps doing this over and over. Pulled the battery for 10 sec, and nothing else happens. Is the phone finished?

No the phone is not finished. Can you get into download mode? If so just Odin back to stock. If not try to get into recovery and reinstall the ROM.

Trying to install Andromeda

I have been trying to install Andromeda for the past few hours.

First off a few weeks ago I upgraded the OS to 2.3.5 (i think) via KIES. Then started getting that damned tethering process has crashed that no one can fix. So I figured I would install a 3rd party ROM.

Previous to upgrading the OS I had rooted it via superoneclick and installed the amazon app store. Upon upgraded via KIES I lost root to I used ODIN to get it back.

Now this guide located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364

Tells me to go back to stock. I used heimdall to reload a pre-rooted 2.2.

So I now have clockwork mod 2.5.0.4 installed. I have to get into it via this fuxored method:

1. Hold down volume (both) and power

2. Let at&t screen flash 3 times

3. Let go and boot into recovery

4. Select reinstall packages (which boots me into CWM).

However whenever I got to install Andromeda I get the following error:

E:Can't mound /dev/block/mmcblk0 or (/dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

(Device or resource busy)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:Andromeda.v.2.0.zip

Installation aborted.

I have spent about 4 hours now and am this close to throwing my phone through a wall. This is crazy.

Secondly, I have searched high and low for Andromeda 2.1 or 2.2 and from what I can tell it exists but not here:

http://andromedarom.weebly.com/index.html

or here:

http://teamkomin.com/content/andromeda

So where is it?

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

I think I got it.

I let the stock OS boot then I installed RomManager and told it to install CWM.

Then I told it to install Andromeda from ZIP.

It asked to reboot and do it's thing.

It's installing now.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Woot.

It's installed now.

Curious about that update though.

Text font and background colors the same and lock screens

So I have noticed a weird thing going on since I installed andromeda 3 for the first time. There are several applications that some of the menu items have the same font and background color. Usually it is white on white or black on black. A couple of examples:

In the gmail app, when I try to look at the labels for an email, the labels are not legible because the font and background are both black.

i use dialer one for my dialer app. After I search for someone and I try to select either their cell, work or home number, they are all white on white.

Everything else has been working great.

lastly this is probably a noob question, but andromeda 3 says it has 5 lock screens. How do I change it?

Sorry if this is covered somewhere else, but I searched around and couldn't find it.

Thanks.

This andromeda3 rom has served me very well in the past few months. Now I'm trying to upgrade to an ICS mod, do you guys what steps should I take to do this from a captivate using andromeda3 with cwm 2.5.1.2? Should I upgrade the cwm to a more recent version or just flash an ICS mod from this same cwm? I read here that I need cwm3+ in order to flash gingerbread or higher roms:

But I don't know if this is especific to stock roms or applies to modded roms?

I've been running Andromeda 2.2 for a couple of days now, and the only two issues I've had with it are the market place theme disappearing, and the icons for the menu screen aren't orange. Not really a problem, but I would like them the way they're meant to be. Anyone know how to restore either of those things, or did I screw something up?

Other than that, this ROM is the cat's meow!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Yes. The keyboard now works properly. However, we don't have a Andromeda 2.2 update for the rom. Support was discontinued for the 2x series. Andromeda 1.2 is available. Don't confuse this with Android 2.2. Andromeda is Android 2.2

We're working on it. Ytt3r can tell you more, he's the Ursa Minor project leader. He is making great progress with it. There are a few developer tools missing right now, but we've released some beta kernels on our google code site. You can try Ursa Minor Beta 2 here: http://code.google.com/p/teamkomin/downloads/detail?name=UrsaMinorBeta2.zip&can=2&q=

[Q] No Power Menu

Hi All. Been lurking daily since September 2010 and have been able to have all my hundreds of questions answered by searching. Until now.

I originally flashed Andromeda 2.0 about a month ago and then applied updates to get it to 2.2. Experimented with Speedmod kernel and KP1 modem. The phone was fantastic for about 3 weeks.

I then decided to do a clean install (flash to stock, full wipe) of Andromeda 1.2 so that I could try out some of the themes available. From Andromeda 1.2, I flashed SpeedMod 13C, KP1, restored missing apps+data and then applied the Bloo Glowen theme.

Worked great for about a day but then I lost access to the power menu. I suspected the Bloo theme so I applied the revert. Still no power menu.

Strange because a long press on the power button triggers the haptic feedback but nothing on the GUI happens. Taking a picture with the power button works fine as does standby.

I figure I'm looking at a full reflash anyway but wanted to see if anyone might know a step I missed during my last attempt.

Thanks in advance.

-MK
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiteguypl:
Def not the theme. Only images were dropped in the framework, no other changes. It was probably a result of restoring data. User app data is generally fine, system app data is generally a no no.

Edit: You could install the no wipe 1.1 to 1.2 zip from the old andromeda thread and see If it fixes it before you do a full relash.
