I wonder how many impatient yet curious people out there, who is going to go back to RC33, just to try out the cupcake and go back to having root again. I don't see myself missing any features from the update. perhaps more lacking than anything else if I choose the by the book upgrade method. I have never used the myfav app. Maybe I would welcome the IM app more so than anything. I would love to see the H build camera appear on the next root cupcake build.

I'm just sad that it won't have Flash. After the video demoing a full version of Flash on a G1 a while back, and the rumors that it'd be ready w/ Cupcake, I'm disappointed that we still have to wait. OTOH, it means we still won't be subjected to annoying Flash ads. *shrug*

And if you look close at that video, the parts that actually had motion to it were incredibly laggy.
Adobe can't even get flash on Linux to work smoothly, I don't think they are interested in making it smooth for the G1.
Heck, they are so inept they are outsourcing the development of their own product to a third party.
Flash could have been a great product, but Adobe has ran it into the ground since the '05 acquisition of Macromedia.

I was running JF's ADP1.5 and I got a system update message from Google... I thought it was kind of weird. Has anyone had that happen?

why go back to rc33 when we can go to JF1.5,Dude1.1a or Haykuro?

Well i personally went back to rc33 because it seems to run better to me, also to get protected apps back. They would install on JF 1.50 but not work it would just force close on me. They worked fine on dude's build but its too unstable for my taste. I also use open home and its not ready for cupcake yet so back I go. Im gonna use rc version of cupcake anyways so might as well go back now. Cupcake doesn't really offer me anything i need.

aHome has a cupcake version (search for it) and it's free. I'm running a bunch of signed/protected apps without any issues.

From what I can remember now, two of them are nba gametime and RepliGo Reader.

i'm on dude 1.1a and have no problems. i have ahome and open home running with no problems. protected apps have no problems (call faker, spades, decibel, etc.) nothing has forced closed on me. and have everything running off sd card

Advanced Task Manager works with JF1.5 ADP, and Bratag has a Cupcake version of SnapPhoto Pro available to customers who paid for the RC33 version.

I've been running the Dude's build and I have no problems with protected apps.
One or two had to be uninstalled and re-installed... But, they worked just fine.
Stability? I haven't had any problems!!! with the ROM.
There were one or two apps that had compatibility problems... But, I contacted the devs and they fixed them.
I can't figure out why so many people have so many problems!! I'm just guessing they aren't following all of the instructions at the beginning.
I will say that when going to the versions with the new unionfs system for apps2sd I would recommend copying the app and app-private files, wiping everything else from the ext2 partition and replacing them prior to moving to the newest versions... But, that was the only "difficult" thing about it. Then everything works great!

Is Froyo Stable?

so now that there is a froyo leak out for our phones, is it stable enough to update to it? i was thinking of going for the cognition v2.2 froyo, but obviously dont want a ton on unreliability problems lol...so whats the status on that?

I can't speak to cognition, but I have been running Froyo since it came out a few days ago (no root or lagfix) and it seems fine. Some have complained about lag - if it is there, it is not near as bad as stock 2.1. Others have said the browser has a memory leak - i have not run into that yet either.
Overall the plusses outway the minuses. I am happy with it so far. I have not had any crashes or FCs and the GPS is no worse then JH7. Unless i find a show stopper issue, I will keep it for now.

oh cool, so is it a final release of froyo or was it just a beta leak?

I would call it Beta. There is still stuff that looks like they ported the i9000 Rom over and they still need to do a little clean up. Some EU spellings of things, some minor bugs, Wireless AP and USB tether are present.
I think this is the 2.2 Captivate Base that they will build from. A solid Beta, but not the final.

It has been running fine for me. Once Rom Manager gets updated things will be great. Only AppsInstaller doesn't work for me but its not really that big of a deal.

This FROYO is actually very stable in that everything works perfect.............Have been running for 24 hrs barely so theres a bit more testing needed but yea its definately a GO . At first i got a couple of force closes on several of stock apps like music, phone, and a couple of others but only happend once and never happen again kind of like if it was still setting up or something but besides that and some odd color changes 2.2 is stunning i notice an overall snappier feel market 2x quiker (i dont use lag fix because it ruinned my OS a few times thats just me) and with root enabled the limitations are infinate

I've only been using it for half the day, but I have to say that samsung fixed most of the little annoying problems with this phone. We finally got the phone we paid for with the exception of lag. It's still there, but the one click lag fix solves that. All in all,i recommend the update. Especially with cognition.

cognition 2.2
I'm running the most recent release of Cognition 2.2 for Froyo with the built in one click lag fix. (Even though I really didn't even need to run the lag fix, its that smooth) It is sick. Phone is just silky smooth in all aspects. The only thing I noticed was that flash was slowing the browser down a little, but only on super large pages with tons of plug ins like huffingtonpost so I set the plug in setting to "on demand" and now I can't find a page large enough to slow down the browser. I put it next to my friends new Iphone4 and it was embarassing how much faster the Captivate was loading pages. Only things that arent working on 2.2 yet are titanium backup, which you really shouldnt use for this anyway since you don't want to install 2.1 apps on the 2.2 update, and Rom manager, but I fully expect that with the level of support we've seen from the Rom dev, he will have it updated in no time as well as an update for Titanium. Overall, I almost feel for the first time that I no longer need to scour the forums looking for ways to improve the phone. It is just sick (have I said how sick it is?) how well it runs with Cognition. GPS works perfectly, and I don't mean just getting locks. I put it on my dash and have been driving around a lot for two days and My Tracks is right on. My position does not drift off the road AT ALL anymore. No more being on other streets and otherwise just drifting around all nilly willy. GPS Test shows at least 6 or 7 locked satellites and usually 9 or 10 locked. I don't think I would get better performance out of a Garmin or Tom Tom. It does get better sat locks on the dash with a clear view of the sky rather than in the cup holder in the center console however, but that is to be expected with any GPS device. Even so, it was still fully functional in the cupholer.
I installed by Odin one click back to stock, did a GSM Master Reset via the phone keypad *2767*3855# then rooted, put the downloaded Cognition 2.2 file on my internal sd card, and then installed with Rom Manager, (works because I'm back on 2.1 at this point) I HIGHLY recommend this. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all the spare time I just freed up by not having to flash my phone a million more times
P.S. If you can, donate a few bucks to DesignGears for the work he has done with this. It's totally worth it! It's amazing that he's gotten a ROM out so fast with the release and he is constantly working on, upgrading, and tweaking his work to make it better. (which is why im sure I'll be flashing again in the future /cry)

What does that have to do with Froyo as a stable OS?

Go to pocketnow.com (full desktop version) and click through a few articles there. Muhahaha. Scrolling will become ultra slow, other apps will be forced out of memory, and you may even get a browser crash if you're lucky. That's the memory leak bug.

Go to the site and open your task manager. Is the browser not using about 100 MB of memory? Memeory leak.

The FroYo build is stable and fast. I like it.

I rolled back. It is stable - but some of the underlying features are broken. Forwarding emails does not include any comments you make. Google contact groups now work, but the listed names map to the wrong contacts.
Some nice improvements overall, but some issues are show stoppers for me. It won't crash though - or at least it didn't for me.

Has anyone tried enabling jit on this? I know it was attempted on 2.1 but no one made it past the lock screen before it bootlooped on the galaxy s. 2.2 is made for jit & it should be more stable now right? All I could find in the forums is how to do this for other phones like the droid x (sounds pretty unstable though) & im too much of a noob to figure out how to apply that to my captivate to try it.

Froyo has been pretty stable for me, and certainly better overall than 2.1 was. It still needs work to have what I would call a well-polished feel, but overall I find it to be an upgrade.
I'm hoping it is a beta, and we'll get an even better one soon

I have Cognition 2.4 on my Captivate and it still lags, will this phone be stable?

I updated to Cognition 2.4 and the phone still lags, i have a couple widgets on the home screens and not too many apps, maybe 15-20. Why does it lag and have delays when I'm using it? Why can't it just run smoothly like my wife's iPhone 4? Is it too much to ask for a phone that is supposed to be capable of being a beast, especially after flashing roms to it to make it faster? I always seem to clear my RAM or restart to try to get it to run stable but after a little while it will stall and lag again. Is it fixable or just something I can't get away from with Android?

Try an i9000 ROM.
Such as the one in my sig, or one of the several others.
You'll see a world of difference.

I don't know why you're having problems with the lag. I find no lag with it whatsoever. If you have problems with the lag, try another rom like the previous poster says.

It did lag a little bit. Issues with launcher 2 and some kernel scripts according DG. 2.4.1 Is now live and has addressed these problems. Rom seems very stable and fast as can be

Two answers first the lag is the nature of the beast with roms. Cognition is still in beta because he is using leaked beta source. Some of the releases are amazingly smooth.
Sure iphones are cool and all but can't do nearly as much ie no real multi taking which I'd brutal on ram and cpu

Thanks guys, I'll try the i9000 rom or Cognition 2.4.1. Is anyone else having problems with the market on Cognition 2.4? I can't download or update anything, it gives me an error every time.

sounds like you probably need to revert to your original Android ID.

I had that problem first time around with cog2.4. I had just updated from 2.3, strange it was the first time a cog rom didn't work perfect for me right off the bat ( and I never had to master clear before, just kept stacking new roms on my phone since DG started making them ).
I master cleared with odin ( backup your stuff first ) one clicked back to JF6 master cleared again, one click root, DLed CWM and flashed 2.4cog. Thing works perfect now.

You don't experience any lag now? Which odin did you use to master clear before you master cleared again after going to jf6?

I did do it twice, first before flashing JF6 and once after I had done the one click back to stock. Make sure the phone is up and running when you do your master clear ( I'm not sure if you are doing it, hell I didn't know when I started ). It'll let you know that it has worked.
As far as the market deal, mine would show the little download icon on the notification bar for a half second or less and then never download it, you could go back into market and cancel, try again and still the same thing.

Regina Launcher?

Seems to of been pulled off the market, unless it's just me?
Anyone else notice this? I've searched for the author as well and have come up with nothing.

Got the same prob...
Got a notification earlier saying that there were updates available, so went to the Market to update. Among the updates were also one for Regina, but it couldn't install :/ I've also tried searching, but found nothing..
I think that maybe it's about to exit beta, so pulling it from Market to launch "final" version might be necessary. I don't really see any other reason for removing it??

Would make sense. Its nearly perfect now, its performance has greatly increased

Same, they pulled it from the market. So do I think that beta time ended and the final version is close to come

Just updated my rom, reinstalling everything and the launcher wasnt there. I am very glad to know it isnt just me either. I thought it was something I did because other things were working as well. Hope it comes back soon. Developers took huge strides in improvement and has gradually became 1 of my faves.

Yup I'm looking for it and its not there :/

They temporarily pulled it due to the latest update crashing some phones.

Should wait unroll the final release then....

[Q]CronMod-Dream running slow/App problems

This is my first post on here, so I hope I'm doing this right. In any case, in the past month or two I've went through a MyTouch 4G Slide and an HTC OneS. Both phones broke so I've went back to using my HTC Dream(G1 EBI0). I was using it before I got my OneS and originally had CM6 installed with Amon_Ra's recovery. After my OneS broke I switched back to the Dream and attempted to install [CM7][2.3.7]CronMod-Dream on it. I got confused by the install process apparently because it wasn't the same with Amon_Ra's recovery and my phone got stuck in a bootloop. After several failed attempts to fix it I decided to start over completely and went through the rooting process again, but with ClockWorkMod recovery. I got CronMod working on this, but I'm not 100% sure I did everything right. The mod seems to be running slow for me, with google play and some apps taking over 30 seconds to load and using the phone taking over 40 before the actual call went through. I was also having difficulty installing apps and getting force close's. It just doesn't seem very responsive for me in general. I'm also not sure if I setup the partition right for INT2EXT+.
During the install process I did not install adw launcher, DPSManager,or file explorer, or email. I did install 3dgallery, spare parts, and dev tools. (Probably forgetting a couple apps.) I'm including screenshots below to see if anyone can figure out if I did anything wrong. I'm still pretty new to this, so there's a pretty good chance that I did. I just need to have my phone working properly as it's going to be my daily driver until I get my new phone. I'm open to and will be grateful for any advice on how to get this running faster, thanks!

That's how Gingerbread is on the Dream - overall slow. Try a Froyo ROM e.g. DreamTeam Froyo or LMC Froyo. You'll be amazed how much faster they are.

Isn't CM6 a froyo mod? That seemed pretty slow itself from what I remembered. I'm mainly looking for ways I can improve how CronMod runs. I can't really give any input on the mod thread as I don't have enough posts to yet...
