Email.apk

the stock email app that comes with both v1 and v2 of Cod 5 have an issue with auto caps in the body of emails. I tried to install another version of the email.apk that is supposed to fix it, but after I install it with CWM and it says it installed fine, it won't run, and no icons show up for it in the app drawer or anywhere else.

Does anyone have a better email.apk that will install and run on Cog, or did I maybe have to install it some other way, rather than using CWM?

cog 4.5.3 to 5.2

Hi,

has anyone gone form cog 4.5.3 to 5.2?

I'v read many contrasting comments, since 4.5.3 is pretty good I was just wondering if I should upgrade or not.

I've actually never been on any other rom other than stock and cognition.

Thanks!

Flashing any native gingerbread rom will make you loose Voodoo color fix, sound fix and overclocking capability, also BLN. The sound and OC can be achieve by buying paid apps, but until kernel source drop not allot of features are out. In my experience Gingerbread offers better battery life and somewhat improved GPS (keep in mind im on a older 1008 build so gps isn't great to being with)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvc73:
I don't really use much of those features.

GPS is pretty much ok now considering it is a phone.

Reverting back to 4.5.3 from cog 5 v2

I am thinking of going back to 4.5.3 from 5.0 v2. Does anyone have info on that. I am mainly doing it due to a few issues that I am having with the newest ROM.

1. Email app doesn't do autocap

2. WLAN doesn't seem to auto connect any longer, need to manually connect to networks

3. Charging display (although this is really no big deal as I know the phone is charging).

Any help on the reverting would be appreciated. I am guessing I could just use the original Odin to revert to factory 2.1, then install 4.5.3 as usual, but I want to verify as the filesystem is different in 5.0 v2.

Please wait for someone more expert than me to confirm, however I think you should flash the v2 kernel with odin.

Not really sure that the fugu root was necessary if you're installing the full rom at step 3.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsianXL:
I tried flashing the kernel using ODIN, for some reason that messed up the rom. I couldn't install ROM Manager afterwards to get Clockworkmod flashed as it said Phone Storage space is used up. Which doesn't make sense, cause it had plenty prior to flashing it with the cognition kernel.

I'm having problems getting Clockworkmod on gingerbread 2.3.3, regardless I will need it for step 3 of the installation process.

EDIT: Captivate S is NOT listed under Phone Model of ROM Manager when I am trying to flash it with Clockworkmod :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
You done need rom manager. You need to flash KF1 (get the booloaders) flash the kernel in step 2 BUT check the reboot mark. Once it done pull out the battery and boot up in recovery (vol Up+down+power button) and flash rom (step 3)

ROM Manager works fine for this, just select one of the Galaxy i9000 options, it'll work well enough.

Once you flash the kernel and then Cognition 5 via recovery, Cog 5 will replace the version of cwm you installed using ROM manager with v4.0.1.4, and you're all set.

EDIT: It's all coming back to me now. Scratch what I said above. I selected the i9000 option and it didn't work, so I put it into download mode (using a jig) and flashed the initial Cog 5 kernal via Odin. After that, trying to get into Recovery through ROM Manager didn't work, but when I powered down and did the 3-button combo to get into Recovery I was in CWM and able to flash the full Cog 5 rom.

(I just soft-bricked and had to reflash, so I just went through all this again and remembered some of the issues I ran into the first time. Sorry for the innaccurate first answer above, I hope this edit helps..)

Pandora and Sirius XM App Issues

Cognition 5 v2 has been working great for me, with one exception--and I'm not even sure if the rom is to blame. All of a sudden the Pandora and Sirius XM apps cut in and out every few seconds, and then I get no sound.

I had flashed the KH3 modem and I thought maybe that was the problem, so I went back to stock gb and re-flashed the full Cognition 5 v2 rom (full wipe). That didn't work, I'm still having issues.

With Cog5v2, I can't find an answer in getting tethering to work. Read through the Cog Rom thread (although it was very late and I could've missed something) and search doesn't come up with an answer related to Captivates and Cog). It worked with other froyo roms so I don't know what I'm missing.

If u freeze or delete the "Tethering Manager" in Titanium Backup Pro, then u should be able to tether. And of course, put a check in the box under Usb tethering under settings/wireless and network/tethering and portable hotspot.

Hey, folks,

Just got my dad a new Captivate and I want to change out the ROM to Cognition Froyo, which is what I have on my phone. Unlike my phone, though, this new one comes with stock Froyo instead of Eclair.

Question: If my dad decides he hates the phone and wants to send it back, will I be able to flash back to Stock Froyo using Odin 3? Do I need different PDA and PIT files for his phone than the ones I have for mine? And if so, can someone point me toward a download site for Stock Froyo-friendly PDA and PIT files?

My phone is 1008, Stock Eclair; the new phone is 1107.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 96dogpound:
I think you can use the same files or just use the one click odin to flash to eclair then use Kies to upgrade to Froyo.

And in any event, now I'm also trying to figure out how to get MY Cappy back to Eclair from ATT's HORRIBLE Stock Froyo.

And oh, yeah... the answer to the question of using Odin 1-click to flash back my dad's phone is "No. Absolutely not." I"m waiting for a jig to rectify THAT mistake.

Why wait for a jig? Just go to radio shack and buy three 100k resistors (total cost is less that $2). Twist them together in series, then cover all but the two tips with heavy packing tape, and if you're good with your hands touch the two ends to the two pins in the usb port closest to the headphone jack (I'm not good with my hands, so I cut up my car charger and can easily touch the two pins together--I didn't need the charger anymore anyways, my phone charges off a usb port in my car).

Fortunately, the jig came the next day... and it's the best 7 and change I've spent in a long time. stuck it in the slot, waited four seconds and BAM! Download Mode. From there, I was able to get my Dad's phone up and running, and my own phone has been flashed back and then reflashed to Cognition 4.5.1, which is a damn-sight more stable than 4.5.3.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diakonos:
I too have been using 4.5.3 for quite a while now and have seen no issues with it either.

Edit: I have an extra old Captivate (build 1007 -- my current one is an 1103 -- my wife "upgraded" to iPhone4 so I got her old Cap) where I'm trying Cog 5v2 with the same applications and data restored from my 4.5.3 phone. Everything is running pretty well, but I have been bitten by the 2.3.3 Andriod OS bug that munched my battery one day in just over an hour. I haven't tried using 5v2 on a regular basis since converting it (I switch out the SIM card) but the one day I did use the 5v2 on the 1007 phone I noticed the battery seemed to chew up faster with normal use compared to 4.5.3 phone. Maybe it was still a "fresh flash" and battery stats hadn't leveled out, so I'm reserving judgement on the 5v2 battery life.

However, as a test, since I haven't been using the 1007 5v2 phone for anything, I'm seeing how many days I can get off the original 1007 battery by just leaving it running on my desk and rebooting it once a day (to stave off of the Android OS bug). It doesn't have a SIM card (it's in my everyday 1103 4.5.3 phone) but I do have WiFi enabled and have been performing daily Market checks and updating apps when needed. So far, I'm at 6d 14h with 12% left on the battery (WITH LITTLE TO NO REGULAR USE OF COURSE). But, it has been fun to watch how 5v2 "sips" at battery per day. Very impressive.

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing the "pitch" and "roll" orientation sensor inputs be reversed with Captivate 5 v2?

According to the Android SensorListener "onSensorChanged" SDK documentation the "roll" is the tilt left and tilt right, but to get the left/right sensor value I must now extract the "pitch" value, (index 1 in SensorEvent.values[]) which should be the tilt forward and tilt backwards.

This is different from Cognition 2 ... I think is what I was using before I upgraded today.

To show you what I mean by pitch & roll reversed, dial this mode:

General Test Mode	*#0*# [Press BACK when finished.]

Then see the sensor test screen.

Tilt the phone left, then right, and see the "PITCH" number move but not the "ROLL" number. This contradicts their definitions, and differs from an older version of Cognition (2, 3, 4, ... I do not recall which).

Mmph. Perhaps "stable" isn't the word I should use... but I can't think of another.

My biggest issue with 4.5.3 was the extreme lagginess, not only with the button push (I was sometimes having to hit "back/home" four times to get out of a program), but with any app that was graphics or animation intensive.

I have a couple of different video players on my phone, since I've yet to find one that plays EVERYTHING well. My favorite at this point is arcmedia, which played beautifully on Cog 4.4.4, but on 4.5.3, none of the videos played without stuttering. Same deal with a number of games.

4.5.1 was better... but I ultimately have ended up going back to 4.4.4. It's got a few quirks, but its battery life is incredibly good on my phone. Battery life with 4.5.1 was literally half what I was used to, and that was unacceptable.
