Here's the first dumb question

I flashed 1.2 and I really like the rom, but I would like the orange theme.

I read this at the start of the Amdromeda 1.2 thread.

Where do I find the update zip or otherwise get the orange theme?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferman:
We are working on completing the theme into CWM flashable zip. It shall be coming soon. ;)

Really like the orange theme. There were some minor bugs in the 2.1 theme. I don't know if you are already aware of these. See the following post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11372092#post11372092

Question about V2.1

Hey there folks. I'm a long time lurker. I just rooted my captivate and loaded Andromeda 2.1.

My question is in regards to the modems and the icons at the top of the screen. I am getting a lower case "h" above the data transfer icons, but it will occasisionally flash "3g" instead (and very briefly, perhaps less than a second each time). Does the "h" indicate EDGE service? Am I not getting 3G service? I have always had excellent 3g coverage coming from a Tilt 2 and my BB9700. Do i need to change my modem files? Currently KP1 is loaded. What do you folks think?

Thanks, Don
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
read around. topics are EVERYWHERE. H is > 3G....think of it like 3.5G

Soooo... for clarity and confirmation... The "h" above the data transfer icons on the top message bar is a good thing?

yes. h is technically faster than 3g thanks to higher upload speeds and less ping response time

WCDMA is *NOT* CDMA

http://www.tech-faq.com/wcdma.html

our phones use WCDMA and GSM.... it does not use standard CDMA like verizon/sprint
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
I can only tell you my results. When I am on GSM, I get Edge network. When I switch it to WCDMA, i get H.

On a side note, GSM is unencrypted and WCDMA is much more secure. You can hijack GSM phone calls with a laptop and about $500 of hardware, causing all phones to connect to your laptop for internet and calling. With WCDMA Only, a hijacking attempt will fail to switch your phone to the insecure GSM. Instead of your phone being hijacked, you will loose connectivity. You can read more about the experiement at this page

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r24601816-Hacker-Spoofs-Cell-Phone-Tower-to-Intercept-Calls

Everyone in this room was switched over to the phony GSM net on a laptop.

If you have WCDMA available, then use that and only that. GSM is insecure. I use both to maintain connectivity everywhere.

What was the point of leaving Samsung Apps in? Is it of any use? Just curious as it never has anything in it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
You are right. The release was intended to have a build.prop of GT-I9000. This would have made the Samsung Apps populate with several items. However, shortly before release a change was made to fix Swype keyboard. This removed all Samsung Apps because SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 is not authorized any... So, you can use Titanium backup to remove it, or if you don't care about swype, you can use SGS Tools to change your ro.build to GT-I9000
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Is there anything in Samsung Apps worth a crap? I prefer to keep Swype.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
^^ I'd rather use Samsung Keypad. Most people like Swype, so we support it. The Samsung Apps have a cool mario-cart-like game and a full racing game. Also, there are other apps as well. Those are my favorites.

That was corrected the day after release. There were two files which ended up in the release which were not supposed to be there. They were removed in around about revision 50ish. The files somehow made it into the release. it was corrected and silently rereleased. Sorry for the confusion.

This is my third ROM and it looks pretty good so far. Cognition 4.1 and it was smooth and faster than stock.

Something about the wiring on a standard av cable does not jive with the captivate. I noticed that I get the same scrambled image on my TV from all three cables. I believe the problem is that the cable is sub-par and not a "recommended" Apple A/V cable. I cannot come up with another reason that all three connections would display the same scrambled image and the same buzzing audio. I cannot personally confirm that an Apple cable works. I just dug out my old 4 pole av cable from a drawer and tried it with the above results.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
The short answer is "Yes", ursa minor is known to work with all roms.

The only exception being Cyanogen Mod. ursa minor will give you a good starting point for cyanogen mod, but once you flash Cyanogen Mod, your phone is no longer a captivate... It's some custom voided-warranty hybrid mesh of a unstable thing. I tried a recent Cyanogen Mod build for about 2 hours, then saw all the problems and switched back to Andromeda3.

WiFi Question, and Comment...

WiFi

I have seen zero complaints about WiFi on this ROM, so it seems promising. But, per this thread, there is a problem which appears not specific to ROMS (ie, is in multiple ROMS). It is related to getting ERROR in a status on WiFi Settings when having any of various third party apps (for example, Tasker), turn on WiFi. Is anyone using Tasker on this ROM to toggle WiFi successfully, consistently?

Comment on consideration for audience chip

Maybe this would not be pertinent for this ROM, but on other Captivate specific ROMS (ie not i9000 ported, but true Captivate ROMS), such as Cognition, you cannot use i9000 modems, even with i9000 Kernels, IF you expect to use Blue Tooth. It causes serious static. If the audience chip is implemented on the kernel used for this ROM, I hope it doesn't demonstrate the same problem. One of the things that is generating interest in this ROM for me is it is a native Captivate ROM, albeit Armani, and I can use i9000 modems. (NOTE: I don't personally that the issue is because of audience chip, but that is what I have read)

Why I interest in Captivate specific

I'm not sure it is 2.2.1 specific, as I haven't seen many folks complain about this. (Although I did see one person in either this thread or the Android 3 thread with the issue, but may be hardware); but on every 2.2.1 ROM I have installed, after 2-3 weeks, my auto rotation would quit. I was about to decide is was my phone (and it may be), but I could fix it, every time, ONLY by flashing back to 2.1. I could then reflash the 2.2.1 ROM and it would work fine, for another 2-3 weeks. So, I have installed the Captivate 2.2, via Cognition. But I am having the WiFi issue reference above. Other than that, Cognition, along with Existz kernel has been excellent for me.

This ROM is looking excellent. I suspect I'll be flashing later today.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boborone:
Sounds like you've tried enough and done the research. I'd take it back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I was thinking I had posted to you on this earlier, maybe not.

I have had that problem frequently...on every 2.2.1 ROM I've used. (Of course this is not a 2.2.1 ROM).

The ONLY think I could do to fix it was flash back to stock 2.1 with the One Click to Stock Odin. And every time, that fixed it, which meant I could not send back to AT&T. Of course, you can't sent back to AT&T withough flashing back to stock, as they would consider it out of warranty if theyl see this ROM on it.

I'm interested to hear if that fixes it for you. If it does, that makes me sad, as I'm hoping that is not an issue on this ROM. I currently am on Cognition 4.2.1, and have been for a while, and so far, that has not cropped back up for me. Having another issue, noted in a couple posts above, trying to see if anyone here is having that. I don't think so, as haven't seen it in any of the Andromeda threads. But if auto rotation is not actually broken on your phone, I suspect I will have that problem if I install this ROM.

Keep us posted.

(Again, might as well flash back to stock, and see if that fixes it, before you call AT&T. They will ask for all About PHone settings if you call them, and if give wrong answer...bye bye warranty)
