Now I'm somewhat confused. How did taking a picture with the power button fix the issue? :confused:

Anyway, you're most welcome! I'm very glad I was of help, and hopefully you've learned some ADB along the way (read my PM, even though it may not be useful anymore, you still might learn some ADB from it). But I'm very glad you didn't have to re-flash :p

I have search high and low on the forums for an answer to this issue and am not finding anything. I have a friend who I just helped set up Android on sd. I gave him same versions I have had great luck with. HE has a reoccurring problem with his power button. When you push it to bring the unlock screen up, it wont go right away. You have to push it several times to get it up.

It does not have issue in WM 6.5, just any Android op on sd card. He has tried many different version, hard reset the phone, formated the card and started over. Nothing fixes it! His sd card is a 6 GB class 4, brand new.

I have successfully run Android from sd for sometime now on my phone. NO PROBLEMS! I haven't had it do this so I have no idea how to help him.

Can anybody give me some direction???

I will try to answer the questions the best I can and then have a list of FAQ in this post so people can easily access them.

FAQ

How to flash FireFly? (Method one)

BACK UP!!!

Flash to stock (FTS)

Wait for your phone to reboot and then re-enable debugging

Hook phone back up to pc and Master Clear (MC) using Odin

Load Clockwork update.zip (DOWNLOAD)

Load FireFly_X-X.zip to phone memory

Remove sim and external SD, and unplug USB

Boot into recovery and reinstall packages (You may have to reinstall packages twice to get to Clockwork recovery)

Once in Clockwork recovery (Green Text), select install zip from SDcard

Next select choose zip from sdcard

Scroll down to FireFly_X-X.zip and select the file

This will run the script and install the ROM to your phone

After this is done, select go back and then select reboot phone

This may take a while, so leave your phone and go grab a snack!

How to flash FireFly? (Method two) - the one I usually do

Load ROM file onto phone

Boot into recovery

Select ROM and flash it

Reboot, wait and enjoy

Wash, rinse, repeat!

ok..lemme do the honors....quick ques...am flashing firefly 2.2(downloading it now)....i flashed back to stock JF6...do i need to flash to some base ROM for firefly 2.2 to work??

I'm asking cause i was on darky8.1, then flashed directly to 9.3b1 which resulted in incorrect orientation(i9000), then i read the instructions which expected me to flash to base(resurrection), then flash a captivate fix and then flash to 9.3b1...!!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaz2k7:
You should be able to flash directly as long as you flash FF 2.2 full not the update package.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
Nope, you can download the FF 2.2 from the site. LINK

Pick any one of the mirrors. This will get you FF2.2 with the clock in the status bar.

If you want to remove the clock, you can flash the no clock package.

EDIT: Spaz beat me to it. Thx Spaz.

I flash to FireFly 2.2 and its looks awesome + I've been looking for a ROM that had the fix for when I connect the AUX cable to the car radio I can talk to anyone on the phone and hear them on the car speakers... This ROM has that fix finally, I love it... no more Blutooth head sets. But I have a big issue and is that when I make my 3rd or 4th reboot my phone freeze on the "F" boot logo. It does that vibrating action once and then twice like when there's an error. I have flashed my phone before so many times and had no issues and I have been using all FireFly ROM's ever since It came to life. This 2.2 ROM I have flashed like 4 times and I keep having the same problem and I don't want to flash any other ROM only but this one. What can be the reason for this problem? Please Help!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D@rkDroid:
Not sure! but the only one I can think of would be "Launcher Pro", but I have always used it, and this problem has never happened. When you install it, you need to reboot again in order for Launcher to take effect. I do need to point out that before this flash I when to stock with Odin. I never have the need to do this cause I use too flash directly from "Rom Manager" but lately I was noticing that when I flash using ROM Manager It wasn't taking me to the green menu, it was taking me to what I think it was the stock menu with blue, yellow and a red letters where red was an error message,so that's why I decided to go to stock and then I did all the steps needed in order to flash a New ROM using the thread from the development section then I flash FF 2.2 and ever since when I boot like for the third or fourth time it freezes. I hope for a solution... I'm only digging FireFly right now cause lets face it... :eek:

Thanks a lot for your attention...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
Several Questions

I've been using Firefly since it came out and upgraded to 2.2 last week. I do have a couple questions after having used 2.2 for awhile.

1. Why were the dark apps removed (gmail & market)? It seems like Firefly has a darker theme and using the modified apps as default makes sense. Maybe a CWM zip containing all the dark apps would be an option or links to the forum pages? I was able to find dark versions of Gmail, Voice, Gtalk, and the Market by searching, but I think it would make more sense from a theming sense for these to be included by default.

2. What's the best way to remove the Samsung Apps? I flashed the zip and messed around with it a bit, but realized I don't need it. You can't uninstall it like normal apps so I was thinking about removing it with TiBu, but I don't want to mess something up. Suggestions?

3. I searched around the forums, but I haven't been able to find a simple answer to this: does this rom support call recording? Is this a kernel issue or simply a rom feature that Firefly hasn't implemented? If this is something simple to do without losing theming, I have no problem with that, if not consider this a feature request.

4. Not sure if this is a Firefly issue or an ESPN issue, but since flashing 2.2 my ScoreCenter app keeps reverting to the user Tron98001. I don't know who this is or how it got on my phone, but it keeps changing all my settings. Everytime I delete the app and wipe the data, it defaults to that same user when I install it again. If I change the user and settings, within about a day it reverts back. Again, I'm thinking this is an ESPN issue, but I was just wondering if anybody was having the same issue since I didn't have a problem until upgrading to 2.2.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
You can always try different modems, to see which one works best for you.

Hmmm, lets see if other members can shed some light on this as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
1. There were too many bugs involved with the dark apps. I decided that it is best to include stock and let users decide based on their preference.

2. I will have to create a CWM zip that takes care of this. It is not as simple as uninstalling.

3. This ROM does not have call recording. It is considered illegal in many states, to record calls without consent of the other part. I just want to stay away from the mess. Users can install that option on their own.

4. That definitely looks like an app issue.

I believe my ROM is more toward the neutral side and I dont wont to force themed apps (that are buggy) or features that can get them in trouble.

I am just being honest.

Let me know if there are more questions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wpp105:
As FF is rogers based, can it support usb audio out through the car dock? I downloaded the rogers car dock app and no joy. Changed the kernel to FB2, which should have the fix, and still no joy.

Thanks for the amazing rom though!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tritan88:
I did run into this problem when I flashed Fire Fly 2.2. The only way around it was to uninstall Launcher Pro and then install it again. I am not sure what caused the problem but this did solve it for me. The one downside of this is that all the screen setups that I had got removed. But that is minor to me since I move things around all the time any way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
That fix is still in the works in Xcal's kernel. We will have to wait till it is implemented all around.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
Thanks for your quick response. I'll wait for the CWM zip to remove the Samsung Apps. I understand the legallity of call recording and it is something I just wanted to try out, anyways I have a follow up question then: if I apply the phone.apk and libs I found (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=938860) would I lose the theming of the dialer that comes with Firefly by default? Do you know of any reason why this wouldn't work?

Version 2

I saw your tutorial on editing the framework-res.apk, I just changed the extension to zip and used windows to edit the files, then changed it back to apk.

Do you have a tutorial for the services.jar? I would like to remove the alarm notification.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
For jar files, you will need to decompile them first. Editing these is a bit harder and also harder to explain. I will see if I can come up with a tutorial for that also.

About Phone...

Hopefully this will be a quick and easy one to address...

My friend and I are both happy, satisfied firefly users.

We're both on 2.4, which is reflected in the "About phone" information in settings.

However, the additional info under About phone on my phone says I am on Model number GT-I9000 and Firmware version 2.2.1

I upgraded (no wipe) from 2.3 to 2.4

My friend recently wiped cm7 to go back to firefly and, of course, did the install from the full 2.4 zip file (not the update).

His additional info says he is on Model number SHG-I897 and Firmware version 2.2

Both of us show Firefly 2.4 for Build number.

Is this just a little something overlooked (because, yes, it is essentially minor and dreadfully unimportant) in the 2 zip files?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzahorchak:
Did you flash the Samsung Apps file onto your device? That would change it to GT-I9000 and v2.2.1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WirelessMike:
I did.

Thanks-- That WAS quick!

Does it only change the information for that file? I mean, nothing actually changed regarding the rom just by installing samsung apps, right, it just wrote over whatever file fills in the blanks for the table under "About phone?"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
Yup, it does not change anything other than a few files that are required in order to get Samsung apps working. You are still on 2.2 and your phone is still GT-1897

Change Lock Sound

so i discovered where the Lock.ogg file is using ES File Explorer ... so if i want to have a different screen lock sound, would i download the sound i want, rename it to Lock.ogg and then move it to the /system/media/audio/ui/ extension where the original .ogg is located, thus replacing it?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
Haven't really tried that yet, but if you do let us know. Make sure you backup the old one, just in case.

The functionality cannot be changed but the look can absolutely be changed.

Those circles can be themed to whatever you want and are located in the framework-res.apk
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DriftinOutlaw:
I use the Extended Controls widget to toggle power settings, and for some reason it doesn't work with firefly.

For instance if I toggle GPS or data instead of toggling them on/off it takes me to the settings menu to manually turn them off. Never had this issue on any other Rom.

Also, using the honeycomb theme notification bar is kinda laggy. Really like the theme otherwise.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
You are gonna need Root explorer or equivalent (I dont know if ES File manager does root)

Also, you should convert the mp3 to ogg before replacing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
I've been having this exact problem with Widgetsoid, specifically with the GPS toggle. If I try to toggle it on, it turns on and takes me to the GPS menu in the settings. I think this may be a Firefly bug because it seems to work properly on stock 2.2.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DriftinOutlaw:
Yeah, I have tried other 2.2 Roms and it hasn't been an issue.

Also, on the same note, I'm not able to toggle screen brightness to auto either... But wifi toggle works.

Were you flashing the update or full rom? It's the first I've heard of this happening. I would try flashing a modem, like JL3 for instance, from SGS Tools and see if that does the trick. If not, you may have to do a clean flash from stock.

The 2.5 update doesn't include the framework, so I would try flashing a battery mod from the ff app to see if that fixes the problem.
