Love it, but

Hey, i've been running phoenix rom for a couple weeks now and love it! however, my girlfriend recently bought the captivate and though she is not familiar with installing other roms, i've encouraged her to let me throw one on in place of the stock crap. a main requirement of hers is that she would like external notifications (ie the touch buttons at the bottom blink in a certain manner when she gets a text)... i haven't seen any ability to enable a feature like that on phoenix rom. is there one that i'm missing or should i look elsewhere (i once had a rom that would leave all of the bottom lights illuminated to tell me when i'd received something)? thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok try this.

1. Back up

2. Flash Stock

3. Master clear

4. Copy the rom and the update zip from the thread to phone memorey

5. Reboot into recovery

6. Reinstall packages 2X to get ot CWM recovery

7. Flash rom from recovery

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
The process of flashing is really quite simple. As explained in an earlier post, and on the first page of the phoenix thread, copy the update.zip and phoenix zip onto your phone. Reinstall packages twice until you're in the clockwork menu. Select install zip from sdcard, select the phoenix zip and let it do it's magic. When it completes, go back and select reboot... and that should be it.

Help Please

Hello i have a att captivate that is rooted with Froyo 2.2 ver Has a kernel of 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #1

I have read so many different things and watched videos on how to flash a kernel and nothing seems to work. I have tried to use odin and putting the kernel on the internal sd. My problem is when i go to a site and download a zip file that has a .tar extention and i extract it using winzip only thing in the folder is zImage. Without the .tar file i cannot flash the kernel.

1. What is a zImage

2. Is this something my Pc is doing?

3 How can i fix this and can flash a new speedmod kernel so that i can change my phone to a phoenix rom.

Please Please Please help as i have been trying to change that kernel for about a week now. Noob needs help bad. Thanks to anyone that replies.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok first your not supposed to unzip a tar file it is to be used with Odin. If you want Phoenix then Follow the FAQ and save yourself some time and a few grey hairs. From your post you seem new to this so I will give you some advice. Read up on what your doing so you understand it first.

like zel said ...read up! it can get mind numbing at times , but alot of fun otherwise....once you get an idea you can flash a kernel just like a rom, via cwm by using the program, three button boot to cwm or programs like "sgs kernel flasher"..but i recommend the Phoenix rom ...Just plain sexy.. good luck!

Funny you should post this. I had the same thing but the battery icon showed 100% as did the lock screen but when I unplugged the phone from the comp it dropped to 97%.

Battery stats clear doesn't seem to help here. Since being on phoenix firefly and supernova roms my battery life has not been great. I leave it in my pocket most of the day. Check email 2x a day read my kindle for about 30 mins a day and after 8 hrs its down to 30%.

I have no task killers running nothing other then what the rom came with. No autosync stuff other then my gmail account. Display is set to 30% for brightness 2 min time out. Power save mode is on .Really frustrating when I really don't do much with my phone and it plummets like that and others on here get 15hrs or so with much more usage then me and are at 30%.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuitjerker:
Ive had this issue with many roms and the only thing i get from it is that its common with flashing in general, Several kernel have been reported to cause more drain, but with the "K13c" ive had excellent batt life in comparison. Im tweaked and fixed have sync on and use internet calling applications most of the day and still get home with 30-40% with pretty moderate usage... Try this wait till you get down to 5% or less and use a app called "sgs tools" to apply "delete batterystats.bin"...under "apply script heading"...( i dont have luck in CWM), then allow it to die ....(usually best to do it while sleeping) let charge while powerd off... then go through a few cycles of charge and depletion and it should stablize...i dont agree with bump charging and such...be patient and remember...its an awesome rom and way better than stock froyo or eclair. so your gonna have to pay the piper...good luck!

Edit: I did as desrcribed above...charge it to full and have being playin on the net and listen to music player all day...several calls and texts and still at 55% i hope it improves more after a few cycles

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sonos:
I've found the first few charges after a flash go quick. Gets much better after a few cycles.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
I've noticed this most with 2.2.1 ROM's. I don't remember it being a issue with the 2.2's. You're not actually loosing any charge, but what it will seem like is that the phone will last a bit longer at the higher end of the percentage(97%-90% will take longer than 89%-80%).

Other wise I wouldnt worry about it. I don't think any of the dev's have fixed it or even found a need to.

Bluetooth voicedial response volume

This is a problem with every 2.2.x rom I have tried and is not particular to Phoenix. It is that the bluetooth voice dialer which says "Speak now" or confirms the command is at a very low volume. When I am in the car I have to watch the screen to know when it stops initializing and starts listening for a command since it is so hard to hear it respond.

I have seen this topic discussed in a very few other forums but with no solution better than this one: "What's interesting is that you can hit the volume-up button on the phone itself while it's giving you the voice prompt and it can be increased to a normal level. It doesn't "stick" though. The next time you use it, the volume goes back down."

One solution that kind of works is to use Choice Dialer since it responds with adequate volume and also has the benefit of waiting for confirmation, but this app always flakes out on me no matter what rom I am on (including stock ones) after a day or two and I end up uninstalling it.
