I was just asking if anyone else had this issue so I can determine whether it was my phone or not.......
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fractaline:
No offense, but I'm afraid what you're reporting is a nonissue........ One minute plus is totally normal.....for me, I let it sit for an extra minute once it shows the homescreen if I'm expecting any performance...

When you should really start worrying is after 10min have elapsed and you still haven't booted :D

Although depending on what your'e flashing the initial boot can take several minutes. But have paitience and wait it out. :)

Hays yea that is definitely worrying. And again I was simply asking if anyone had that issue as well, not reporting a problem or anything so yea let's just leave it be.

Hello

I want to use sim appication in firefly2.7 but I can't find this icon in menu.

What should I do.

Thank you
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fractaline:
Hi, could you rephrase your question?

What sim application?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WirelessMike:
Your phone getting hot might indicate an issue.

To clarify: It's common to have what can be referred to as an absurd reboot time if you've just done a full flash of firefly or if you've just cleared dalvik cache. Nothing to worry about, but if you didn't expect it, it can be a little alarming...

Is your phone still getting pretty hot during boot? It's not unusual for it to get a little warm, perhaps, but not good for it to get noticeably hot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meadhros:
If it continues to get hot on subsequent boots you probably should consider re flashing. The long boot is ok. Slightly warm is ok. If it is actually getting hot, then something is not working correctly. Sometimes a first flash over a different froyo version can be buggy,,,,i.e. 2.2.1 from a 2.1 etc.

weird stuff

getting all kinds of weird stuff happening with FF 2.7, auto rotate screen suddenly turned off, auto sync gmail and contacts suddenly turned off the next day. Plays notification tone twice at the same time (sounds like echo). I flashed from stock.

I may go back to 2.6.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarima:
Same here. Not specifically the stuff you mentioned but some other strange things like some options just changing, home screen apps randomly disappearing/changing apps, random screens popping up, etc. I got a couple random resets too today...

Granted most of these things happen only once in a while, but still annoying. Its my first ROM flash (from stock 2.1).

Another issue I keep having is the battery showing at 97% as soon as I unplug the phone from a full recharge. I've tried clearing my battery stats and recalibrating them but no luck.

trouble with zip file

Greetings,

I have FF 2.7 installed and think that it is an amazing rom. I do need some advice concerning opening a zip file. I loaded a Dreamlyfe icon zip file onto the sd card. I went into recovery via CWM. When I tried to open the zip file CWM freezes just as it is starting the process. This has happened 3 or 4 times. How can I get this zip file opened? I getting frustrated. Any help/advice is appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well if the zip file is not a clockwork zip then that is why it is freezing, if it is just a normal zip you need a file explorer that supports unzipping, like root explorer

Thank you for FF2.2. I flashed it yesterday and reinstalled everything and to day went to use titanium backup and it said I didn't have root access.not a big deal just reflashed and all was ok.just woundering why this might have happened.also I came from Motorola backflip at modmymobile (beastibul)had a awesome yellow theme for the backflip what about a mustang yellow theme for FF.just a thought keep up the great work looking forward to getting more knowledgeable about my new captivate.thanks to everybody who has made FDA what it is today.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtinShadow:
Force close problem.

Thanks so much for FF 2.2, it's probably the best ROM I have flashed yet. The UI is smooth and I really like all the tweaking options and the SGS tools that were included. I only have one concern, though it hasn't seemed to cause an issue yet, but every time I reboot the phone, I get the single vibration followed by the triple vibration when something needs to force close, and it pops up a message saying that "the process com.android.email has stopped unexpectedly". This will then happen again about a minute later. What is this process and what can I do to fix it?Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
I am guessing you upgraded the email app from SGS tools? It can cause problems sometimes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
If you do lose root, you can go into recovery and re-apply root through the advanced options.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eaescob:
Thanks for dedicating your time into building an awesome ROM. I must say, I have tried several ROMs and Kernels and Firefly with SpeedMod have been by far the fastest and smoothest experience with my Captivate. Now, the only issue I am having is that I use Tango to videochat with my son when I'm away for business but since I installed FF2.2 and SpeedMod the video does not work but it was working when I had Serendipity with the Firefly kernel.

Any ideas? I have moved the Camera.apk and CameraFirmware.apk that comes with Serendipity into /system/app but still no luck. I've read other posts that state that the Email client controls the third-party tools that can interact with the camera? Should I use the same Email.apk that I was using with Serendipity?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
I flashed the phone recording zip and everything started out ok. Calls were recorded as expected and playback sounded good. Ending calls, with or without recording a call caused the phone to reboot. So, unfortunately this is not usable unless someone with far more knowledge than me can figure it out. It seems like it locks up when it tries to display the "Call" and "message" buttons that normally display after a call is ended. The recorder probably doesn't have that and Firefly is probably looking for it. Just thought I'd give you an update.

Thanks for all your hard work on this, Firefly is by far the best and smoothest rom I've used. If you do reconsider having a CWM zip of the dark apps, I have links to all the updated, stable ones that haven't caused me any issues.

Thanks for your advice Tritan88.. I'll give it a try to see if that helps my situation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
You may have to copy the email.apk as well. It has been known to cause issues, although the newer camera.apk's arent dependent on the email, it is still worth a shot.

Let me know how it goes.

Sure send me the link to all the dark apps, I will gladly make CWM zip for users.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
I personally don't even when I am flashing from a voodoo enabled ROM, as long as the ROM you are switching to, is also capable of ext4/lagfix, you should be ok.

In short, no you don't have to, but it is recommended for beginners.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottyBrand:
I have noticed that since I loaded this rom, my phone has been alot slower. I use speedmod and there its still no difference, any suggestions.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkjeeper:
First page of this thread says the method x likes to do is just flash this rom from cwr. I'm running serendipity now and love it but I'm on xda so why stay with something you like? So I'm serendipity, with a paragon kernel oc'd to 1400. What I was considering was flashing the onix kernel first, then in cwr, flash ff. Is that ok, I'd rather go the shorter route if it's possible. Thanks, great looking rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfinityGone:
You can skip onix. When you do the full FF install it will do the kernel at the same time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkjeeper:
Yeah, but surely I cant just boot to recovery, and install FF from there? It cant be that easy. Install the zip for FF from the sd card from recovery? If only it were that easy! Can someone confirm this would be ok to try?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfinityGone:
Yep. Just make sure your using the full FF zip.

Only possible hiccup would be because of different lagfixes, if your worried disable your lagfix first. If your current kernel has the same lagfix then your good to go, no need to do anything special or different.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
The "safer" recommended way is to flash back to stock first and do a master clear (basically formats internal sd card) and from there you would re-install clockwork and flash any rom you would like. There is no problem just flashing FF from serendipity but you might run into some compatibility issues so if you I was you I would rather be safe and flash to stock first. It's not worth the 15 mins saved.

Thank you for a smooth and efficient ROM! So much better than stock JH7 :P

Oh and if it means anything, my phone is almost always on "H" at 3-4 bars of reception :D

Speedtest (why there are no servers in California boggles me) from FL to CA gives me: 3570kbps download, 1122kbps upload

Which is faster than my DSL.... although with ATT 2GB cap, i'm reserving mobile AP for emergencies.

Anyways a few questions

1) I loaded into calendar to edit some appointments and it gave me the message:

"Google calendar cannot sync with kies, please use mycalendar"

or something like that. I've never used kies before, so i can just ignore this message? Where in the ROM does it say to use kies?

2) The launcher looks like ADW launcher. Is there a way to edit how the launcher works like ADW. I'm searching, and can't find it anywhere

3) The dialer seems to have a slight amount of lag when inputting numbers. Is this normal?

4) Titanium backup - when going through the list of processes and programs is laggy as well. I had this issue on my stock ATT ROM as well. Just wondering if this was normal.

5) Benchmark Scores: How do they compare? (last night was on firefly too)

Linpack: 14.171

Quadrant: 1215 (was 1084 last night...)

AnTutu System Benchmark: 2074 (2054 last night...)

Neo Core: 64.5 FPS

I just flashed Firefly 2.7 (my first custom ROM) and am really impressed with it so far.

Ok guys heres what happened. Im running firefly just fine for about a week now. Today I decide to flash the samsung apps zip as well as a themed market zip through clockworkmod. I flash both of these just fine, but now my swype doesnt work.

Is there a way I can go about getting the cool themed swype that originally came with firefly back onto my rom? Thats fine if it requires me to undo what I just did but I dont exactly know how to get the market theme back to normal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fractaline:
you can get that from the ff app, user fire fly fixes... Sounds like the simplest solution for you, try reverting back to non themed market first.
