[Q] Problem Probelm Phoenix 2.5 - Captivate General

OKay few tiny biny problems here
1. My GPS does a lock on but still 1000 meters away? what files to install and what to do ?
2. How can I change the color of the bubbles of the text messages ?
3. How can I change the background color of the gmail app its dark right now?
I'm using ADW launcher right now so if someone can tell me according to that please.
I'm using Samsung Captivate Phoenix 2.5 glitterball latest kernal
Hitting a score of 1770 on Quadrant thought i'd just let you know
This is the best ROM i have seen thus far

Not to be rude, but technically isn't this a double post? I saw this on the Phoenix Thread

Yeah it is but I am not able to get a reply back there, and I don't know how to delete a thread once posted

Yeah, I hate when that happens, wish I could help. But i don't know how to fix those

Im running phoenix 2.5, I have a couple of issues but hey, w.e. and the best thing, personal message adam, the guy who made the rom.

Yes, PM me. I am usually on every day supporting what I put out. I today off to be with my wife and daughter though. I replied in the Phoenix thread. Please go back and read it and shut this thread down.

[opinions] Best kernel

Rodskape said:
Lets make a group list of Captivate Kernels and list which are the best with the Pro's and Cons.
I tried Cognition 2.2b and had problems with the music player which always showed an annoying notification and the call logs that also showed annoying notifs, another problem was wifi connectivity, but its safe to assume that these cells arent the best for wifi. And at Launcher Pro it didnt show my settings options when i pressed and hold the home key.

It's all good bro, we were all new at one time. I like running the i9000 re-oriented kernel by xcaliburinhand. This way you are able to run a i9000 ROM. The reason I like this kernel is because I have no need for any of the OC/UV kernels. The captivate is already fast as hell (especially with voodoo). DesignGears probably has the best kernel for froyo, but I haven't experimented with too many different ones. haha I am also new to flashing.
Remember: read, read, and keep reading. then post.
Mine:
ROM: Cognition 2.3b3
Kernel: Cog's kernel that comes with the ROM
I had no difficulty upgrading from Cog 9.1.1. Just make sure all your stuff is up-to-date, and make sure to follow directions... it's all pretty "cut and paste" past that.
Best kernel goes to the setiron imo, that universal lagfix is just unreal, coupled with the overclock/340mb of memory and the speedmod nothing comes close to it in terms of speed.
Best rom is debatable, when i decided to switch to froyo i compared all of the current froyo roms and decided on killer23d's rom. If you want the two combined get MikeyMike01's rom.
Setiron's compilation just has everything you could want. Im runing it with DRS 3.0 and its awsome.
The one I am using....no issues
however I have not tried any others. I may give Cyanogen a try if they build one but I like Cognition now.
Thread would be more valuable if a person 'voting' for a specific rom would list pros and cons:
Pros
ONe
Two
Three
Cons
ONe
Two
or pros only.
Otherwise, lets just go browse the dev forum and do the usual reading.
I haven't done any specific kernal only updates, so unfortunately I don't have anything I can share of value.

Bluetooth/hsupa work fine with setiron.
Good to hear. I may have to give it a try.
I think someone was asking DesignGears if he may add that kernal to his next ROM. Didn't see an answer.

He really should add it, everyone else is adding it to their rom. Not sure why he's making his users miss out on its amzing features.

This thread is over a year old - and has nothing to do with your question. Best to ask in the MIUI Q&A forum.

Maybe we need two versions of Cognition...

I don't know if it's the right place, I just hope DG can see this.
Anyway, every time DG updates Cognition Rom, we can see him switching from Touchwiz to Stock Launcher, or switching back, for different reasons. The same thing happens to the lock screen.
For example, this time DG removed Touchwiz for its laggy, but someone like me really don't care that little lag, I just think the transparent background of the app drawer is much cooler than the stock one...yeah, maybe I'm a weirdo...
Since nothing can make everyone happy, why not just make two of them at each edition, one is more Sammy and the other is more Stock?
Or take some time to learn how it works and you can put it back in yourself. That's the beauty, imho, of the android. You can make it fit yourself. DG is doin' what rox his sox, he's just offerin' it up to us unwashed masses.
I've gotten to where I can make the phone look any way I want and this is my first android phone. Patience and diligence. You can do it too.
ive pretty much learned how to put everything i like in place. launcher, keyboards, etc. the only thing im trying to learn is how to get my preferred lockscreen into any given rom. Is there anyone who can teach me or point me to some references so i can start learning how to do this.
The search feature can amaze you with its knowledge I have seen several threads and posts on the main cognition thread about changing the lock screen

Running Cognition 2.3b6, gmail pushes, live wallpaper works, etc. I agree the flip flop isn't great, but hey, he is doing this, and he doesn't have to. Until CM 6.1 comes out, I will keep using his ROMS.
Never had those kind of crazy issues with a Cog ROM. I know he has added/removed apps with each rev.
BUT... with that said he has justified each time he has taken a step back.
Plus - it clearly says BETA - meaning NOT A COMPLETED PRODUCT AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE
Sheesh.

So Can Cellular South join you guys??

I mean we have basically the same phone.. and I think the user base on Cellular South is probably to small to have it's own sub forum.
Yeah I was wondering the same thing--Cellular South Galaxy S Showcase user here. Rooted and Clockwork recovery installed.

I installed the Voodoo kernal last night for the Showcase! Working great. Quadrant score went up to over 1800 from around 900. It is nice. Any custom ROMs available yet I could try? Yeah our own forum would be good.

I welcome you guys as the more the merry just watch what can be flashed as some roms may def. brick but you may want to try the mods I created "AT YOUR OWN RISK" as they only change the boot animation and notification icons and give you a accurate battery......the software is so close I THINK it should not be much of a streach to do it but to be sure I need your framework to be possitive....Do you have option to go back to a stock phone as backups are good but NOT a fix all......DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND HAVE AN OUT BEFORE YOU DO IS THE MORAL HERE...Thanks
P.S. It took quite awhile to get things going as we were in the minority as MES. users you may be even worse off so hope your wait wont be as long....Also feeling like this forum may be to you as we were to the Fascinate forum waiting and watching posting here and there looking for ANYTHING we could use.

I can't help you with he stock files.. JT has a repository, of the showcase. Geekmouse also has MOST of the Showcase files backed up. So one of them would be a good place to see maybe?
I've already changed my boot up sound and image. But having on of your battery mods would be neat
So does anyone have a Cellular South Showcase specific Recovery image?? Odin recovery??? And NO I haven't bricked my phone... just seeing what resources are floating around..

I thought jt got CWM working for the Showcase. That would give you a recovery image. As for the stock files to flash in Odin, that's another story. Those have to come from someone who has them for "technical" reasons, like an in store technician. Or maybe a curious engineer who happens upon them while he was looking for something else and decided to download them as a just in case.... lol

In need of a volunteer again
I've got a theme I'd like someone to test. It's the Generation X theme port like the one I did for the Mesmerize. Should be stable, but I need a test before I release it. PM me if you are interested and I'll send you a link.
It has accurate battery mod for discharge, modified lock screen, menus, drop down notifications, status bar, settings, Generation X bootanimation and PowerOn.mp3.
how hard is it to take a theme off?

[Q] Zeus v5 - Sync issue?

My deepest apologies and hope Dman can forgive me as I'm a newb and just cant simply ask in his Development thread since I don't yet have enough posts here.
I first want to say that ZEUS is the most incredible ROM out there... but after weeks on v3 with no issues, I tried the v5 today and LOVE it as the stock, but my voice coverage indicator (bars) and WiFi indicator stay gray even though I've NEVER had the sync-Google connection gray issue before.
Just wondering, without the new theme, if that's the way it's supposed to be? Gray... will it change to green? I have no problems getting gchats, gmail, etc. with notifications.
Just not sure how that works.
Thanks!!!!
EDIT: As soon as I flash back to v3 or any other ROM, I get the blue or green color for G Sync.
Wrong section. Here. It's been asked before. This is his q&a thread.

[Q] R3velation

For some reason when I try and play Order and Chaos online it randomly force closes. This has never happened to me before when I was on Zeus. Anyone know a fix for this? I really like this rom and don't want to go back ;/ Btw I'm on 1.1.2; the newest version of the game.
I don't know about the game, but this rom has zero issues for me.

ANGRY BIRDS!!!!! They're little pissed off fellows.
Question about R3velation - since the thread name is broad.
i went to the buil.prop to change the density from240 to 200. and i noticed it was still claiming "xxkl2" insted of "xxlb1" on line
.pda =
and
.hidden_ver =
does that stand for anything?
( im just a somebody noesing around the goodies trying to learn a little android)
Yea... I put the wrong build.prop in, but I assure you its uclb3 firmware

Ok. Thank you for the quick reply. i am a big fan of everything you guys do here awsome job with the new rom. as the collective promised speed. we got it. ( dont tell the others but your my favorite)
great rom
This rom is great i love this, very solid and super fast, i liked zeus too, but this is way better and who cares about hdmi for how fast this is, i'll give that up, the only question i have is where do i get to where all the themes are for this rom, but great work dman and the rest of the Collective Team, sorry if i posted in wrong spot but it won't allow me to post under the rom
This ROM is by far my favorite so far. Runs smoothly, and the design fits me perfectly. One issue I am having though is for some reason whenever I go to settings and go to set a lockscreen password the phone restarts. Any clue as to why?
Is it just me or what lol?
Well I just started flashing roms and became addicted to it when I came across Zues I fell in love with it! No issues no nothing except one little detail that idk if I missed or what but I every time I send an sms that exceeds over 1 page I send it and it says it failed however then I flashed Revelation! Man That rom is awesome fell in love with that even more but I have the same problem still I don't know if its the rom or its something I did?

KI3 modems and uckd5 are good for long text.
Supposedly UCLB3 modem fixed that also.
Try flashing a UCLB3 modem over this rom...if it doesn't work, KI3 modem
Carrier IQ
Are the different apps on the market that detect Carrier IQ having problems with the new stock 2.3.6 for Infuse?? The stock versions say they don't have Carrier IQ when you run them but with the new Revelation ROM these same apps show that it does have Carrier IQ? What is up? Is CIQ is in Revelation - how would I take it out using 7-ZIP ?? While I don't do anything illegal - based on principal I do not like things like CIQ who the govt could subpoena at anytime. If they want me to help make their network better - give me an opt out button.
