first post in the development thread has instructions.

I'm developing a Heimdall one-click for this reason. It will be a single cross-platform 300mb java executable which will deploy heimdall and andromed3 including platform speciffic drivers in an easy to use one-click method... Bootloaders will be available with an extra two clicks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OwenW71:
OK, I followed the directions in the video, but now the UrsaMinor kernel boots into a loop. I get the robotic voice that says 'this cooperation' then it flashes the AT&T World Phone screen. Back and forth it goes, not responding to the three button press.

I 'spose it is time to put it back to download mode and start over. I used ADB before, so I may have to try the two button + USB method, since I don't get a ROM to load right now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
That's what the troubleshooting section is for. You'll need to cross your fingers and run Odin3 one-click.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OwenW71:
Odin One Click got me going again. My phone is one of those oddballs that will never show the DL screen when bricked, but I can DL to it all the same. The jig is the only way to reliably get mine into DL mode. Ursa Minor flashed and Andromeda working nicely. Somehow I missed that kernels take a while to load up.

Has anyone had issues with the bottom buttons reacting slowly or not at all with Andromeda? Now that I have it installed and working well, I notice that I have to touch the buttons repeatedly to get the phone to respond. I know the touches are being detected, because the backlights blink briefly, but nothing happens. The record so far is 15 touches to get the Search button to do anything. Each time the backlight blinks, but no action. Same for all the others. Would unistalling Voodoo Lagfix be something to try? I'm beginning to think I got me a lemon phone!

I'm not clear on all the wording/etc., so I apologize in advance if this is a noob question. I've been running Andromeda3 for a few weeks now and I really like it. However, I have noticed that I no longer have any data access. Wifi works, but I can't get any data through my carrier. I no longer see the 3G or H in the top (title bar?).

I see various discussions about modems, but not sure what I should do. This was my first flash and data was working fine (stock ROM) before. I am on Rogers.

From post 10 of this thread.

Check to make sure your apn is correct. Good luck and welcome to andromeda and xda

This is the wiki for the rogers captivate. It says something about using an apn save and restore app because most custom roms come with the at&t apn for data. I would try looking for something like that on the market.

This thread might have an app that would save the apn for ya. If not, it still has some things you might like.

AT&T Cptivate on T-mobile APN Settings

Hi! I flashed Andromeda on my AT&T Captivate a few days back and I don't have internet or data service, the E is on with the arrows but no internet. Wifi is good

I was reading this tread and notice the apn settings directed me to the post 440 but I'm not on Rogers I'm with Tmobile.

My question is, can I use the settings on post 440 for my at&t captivate on Tmobile or the settings are different and what are they or where can I find them toghether with the process on how to add it to my apn list.

I have the prepaid $10 x month.

I'm on Perception 9. I would like to try Andromeda3. Do I need to flash back to default ROM first before putting the new one in using 'I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.rar'?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowBlind182:
Hey guys, sorry to ask a question if the answer is out there, i searched and came to a thread with over 105 pages and after searching through 50 of them and finding nothing i've decided to break down and noob it out.

After having hundreds of problems of my own being a noob and trying to flash and rom and everything unless, I finally have Andromeda3 on my Captivate, now this is the 2nd time i've had andromeda3 on, I'm having a very serious "freezing" issue. At first i thought that it was because of the app "setcpu" that i had overclocked it too high and i heard that it could cause freezing, it got the the point where the phone would not stay on long enough for me to even clear the app data and delete the app . . .

Then later on i had used odin 1 click to restore my rogers captivate, which put at&t on my phone :S lol, and i got andromeda3 back on my phone, and it seemed at first that it was running perfectably, and after twinkering with a few settings and customizing it to my liking, It's begun to freeze again, I'm just wondering if i have done something that is a known issue that causes this.

Please help, i love andromeda3 so far and would not enjoy having to flash and go stock again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
That's not an issue with Andromeda3. Try a master clear.

This will delete all user data on the phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowBlind182:
Ok it got rid of all the root apps that comes with andromeda3 that seemed pretty useful, like sgs options and voodoo, those can be sideloaded i suppose if i can find somewheres to download them, that seemed to do the trick it's gone a bit without freezing, but that means that something that i installed in the first five minutes of running andromeda3 is what did it, the only thing i downloaded was gosms and facebook for android . . . other than that it was to be a certain combination of settings that i created
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1tontomato:
The Ursa Minor kernel supplied with Andromeda3 doesn't support OC/UV this could be the source of the problem. The kernel and ROM work well as a pair but if you want OC/UV you could try the Onix kernel

Battery Charge Issue

So ever since I've been on Andromeda, my battery has been ceasing to charge before it gets to 100%. I've calibrated the battery many times now, and I even just reflashed the ROM and kernel with all the latest updates just the other night. I reflashed with a full battery, calibrated it as soon as flashing was complete, and that charge lasted me 35 hours. I was hoping the issue would resolve itself at some point, but it just happened right now as my battery was approaching 98%, it suddenly jumped to 100% and stopped charging. As soon as I unplugged it, it fell back down to 98%.

One thing I have noticed is that once I plug it back in to get that extra 2%, as soon as the screen times out and the phone locks, it thinks its fully charged and it skips to 100%. But if I turn the screen timeout off and leave the screen on, it will continue on slowly until it truly reaches 100%. I'm using the Rotary lockscreen if that matters (as it shows the battery percent when charging and shows "Charged" when fully charged).

Does anyone else experience this problem, even after battery calibration?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krypt0:
Ok so I've been on andromeda since the beginning, and it's the best! I have been experiencing some really odd things lately and wonder what I should do to combat them.

On occasion the phone will sort of "trip" out with the home key. It's like some ghost is mashing the home key on the phone causing my phone to wig out. It vibrates a ton, cause I have haptive feedback on, and the notification pull down goes up and down, up and down. I've flashed other roms in the past, but never a gb rom, so I've never touched my boot loaders. (should be noted this happens mostly when my phone comes back from a sleep state, our pressing the power button)

The wifi bug where it errors out when turning on still persists.

What actions should I take?

Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
i have heard that random home/menu/back/search key button mashing is caused by moisture under the glass. turn it off, wrap it in a paper towel and stick it in a ziplock bag or tupperware bowl of rice. try that for a night and see if that helps

dont know what to say about the wifi bug, it is a problem that persists across nearly every 2.2 rom, stock or otherwise
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nok6100:
Not sure if you guys have tried "Fix My Wifi" from the market, I have used this on all 2.2 roms I have run, and it really helps out, from what i can tell it resets the wifi if a point is detected but the phone hasn't connected to it for whatever reason. I had issues with the wifi not reconnecting with this rom just like the other 2.2 roms, and after installing the app it connects with no problems.

Hope this may help someone. :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vash99:
HI, i am new to the forums and i imagine this question has been asked before. I have read/watched various ways how-to vids to properly load a custom rom / kernal.. and with no success thus far.

Problem; getting into my "Download Mode Screen" on my captivate to continue loading your Andromeda ROM to my i896 (Canadian GS Captivate).

Repeatedly watch your how-to video and still nothing i held down UP - DOWN and PWR buttons together and all i see it doing is cycling the battery charge screen over and over. I let go of the buttons and i get into recovery 3e mode..

I am probably retarded and i am missing a step .. I have loaded the stock version 2.2 Froyo firmware via Kies b4 successfully before.

continuing on my quest i managed to Root my phone using SuperOneClick. and i have also downloaded RyanZA One Click Lag Fix ver. 2.3.0. I have also installed Rom Manager via android market.

After being rooted, installed one click lagfix with no real significant actual fix to the phone its still loads slow etc.. mainly why i started messing with all the rooting and roms and would like to see if loading the Andromeda ROM will fix this slow @ss phone :).

Current state:

Froyo 2.2 (Canadian ver. Captivate) Rooted with SuperOneClick.

Installed One Click Lag Fix (RyanZA 2.30)

Installed Rom Manager 4.3.3.0

whats the best and easiest way to finish the ROM load to my captivate as its current state ? Am I able to load the ROM via Rom Manager Recovery ?

sorry for the wall of text. Thanks in advance to anyone whom is able to help.

Multiple apps force close

Hello,

After reading and reading and watching Adam's install video about 15 times, I was able to flash A3 without any drama. Started on Stock 2.2. I had a few bugs at first (notification bar would pull down slightly, but get stuck at the top) and quite a few(10 or more) of my apps force closed immediately upon trying to open them (one vibrate, wait 5 or so seconds, 3 vibrates and then the message). I flashed the UM2 kernel and that seemed to make the phone run smoother, but the app issue stays. I have reflashed A3 from CWM, but I had the same issues. I have also had the "insufficient storage to update" error for a few apps when trying to update.

For the record, I only restored apps+app data with TiBu, and have tried clearing the data of the individual apps to no success. Completely uninstalling and reinstalling has fixed it, but I'd prefer to not do that to all of them.

Does this call for an Odin 1-click and reflash or am I missing something?

Thank you for the great ROM and support.

-Drew
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisfisher864:
I have had the same problem with some of my apps also, adobie air, facebook, and a few others when trying to update I get the storage error!! Makes no sense to me I have well over 5 gigs internal and over 6 on the external. I have tried to clear data before update and that does nothing! I can delete the app and install just fine but like you said that's a pain to do everytime!

Some of the apps on Andromeda3 are different versions then the ones you used to have. Do not restore all apps or system apps. Try a wipe, then restore "missing apps + data"

I have downloaded apps after flashing and a week later do a update and I get the storage error? Any idea on that
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vash99:
The first method - It will take a few tries to get the timing just right so be patient:

•Unplug your Device

•Pull out the SIM, External SD Card, and Battery

•Plug in the mini-USB Cable back into your phone.

•While holding down BOTH Up/Down Volume Buttons re-insert the battery.

If you get the "grey battery charging" screen. Then you will need to try and re-attempt it as it didn't work. You should get the download screen and be ready to go back to stock.

this method worked, however now when i try to install URSA Minor the installation / setup process does not continue in Odin3 1.7. It just hangs there and does nothing i have COM5 when i connect the device so the program recognizes the phone. I tried several attempts to install URSA Minor and it doesn't seem to be continuing with the setup while in download mode (with the SIM / SD card removed) which is the only way i can get it to "download mode". It seems the phone is blocking or unable to receive the information being sent to the device even tho it recognizes it.

i am following the video steps exactly.

1) root via SuperOne Click ( stock 2.2. Froyo )

2)Installed OCFL / EXT 2 Lag fix 2.2

3)Back-up using titanium backup

4)Run Odin3 1.7 and load PDA tar file to load the kernal.

(Stuck on download mode nothing happens after several attempts in Odin3 1.7)

rebooted the phone with SIM / SD card back to stock ( rooted 2.2 Froyo )

I'm not having issues with the Andromeda apps, it is pretty random. Winamp, soundhound, Angry birds, Stupid Zombies, Swiftkey X. Reinstalling has fixed some of them, but I'd prefer to avoid having to do it to all of them. Especially when I get the storage error trying to reinstall them. When you say wipe, how far do you mean? Wipe apps with titanium, or odin 1-click and reflash?

Thanks again,

I was able to flash without any issues due to the great thread at the beginning. I have done roms before, but this was my first android. That aside...

Ursa Minor 2 - If I install this using CWM (right?), will I have to reinstall Andromeda? My sound on the headset, an old Apple headphone/mic, is horrible in my truck. Maybe cause it's a loud diesel?

Does Andromeda support a screen capture by default/how to use it and if not, what should I get?

Kudos to Team Komin, this ROM is very sweet!

I keep seeing ADB, but I have not run across anything explaining this program or feature and how to use it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
If you were to flash a kernel then reflash the Rom, you would wind up with the old kernel, because the Rom flash includes the old kernel. Just flash the new kernel in cwm, and that's it.

As for adb, try using Google. You would be surprised ay what you would find.
