Hey Guys I put together a Q&A thread for this rom to prevent tons of new threads about rom Spicific questions from new users.. Please feel free to post any questions here.
As Aslways there is no Flaming, name calling or the such.
No question is too noobish, But please look for your answer first.
Now for the info needed to help. In your post make sure to included the version of the rom you are using, modem, kernel, ext...
Also please give it some time for your question to be answered.
Great idea Zel, I am here to help.
I will try to answer the questions the best I can and then have a list of FAQ in this post so people can easily access them.
FAQ
How to flash FireFly? (Method one)
BACK UP!!!
Flash to stock (FTS)
Wait for your phone to reboot and then re-enable debugging
Hook phone back up to pc and Master Clear (MC) using Odin
Load Clockwork update.zip (DOWNLOAD)
Load FireFly_X-X.zip to phone memory
Remove sim and external SD, and unplug USB
Boot into recovery and reinstall packages (You may have to reinstall packages twice to get to Clockwork recovery)
Once in Clockwork recovery (Green Text), select install zip from SDcard
Next select choose zip from sdcard
Scroll down to FireFly_X-X.zip and select the file
This will run the script and install the ROM to your phone
After this is done, select go back and then select reboot phone
This may take a while, so leave your phone and go grab a snack!
How to flash FireFly? (Method two) - the one I usually do
Load ROM file onto phone
Boot into recovery
Select ROM and flash it
Reboot, wait and enjoy
Wash, rinse, repeat!

I was thinking the same thing for the FAQ.
ok..lemme do the honors....quick ques...am flashing firefly 2.2(downloading it now)....i flashed back to stock JF6...do i need to flash to some base ROM for firefly 2.2 to work??
I'm asking cause i was on darky8.1, then flashed directly to 9.3b1 which resulted in incorrect orientation(i9000), then i read the instructions which expected me to flash to base(resurrection), then flash a captivate fix and then flash to 9.3b1...!!!!
You should be able to flash directly as long as you flash FF 2.2 full not the update package.

Nope, you can download the FF 2.2 from the site. LINK
Pick any one of the mirrors. This will get you FF2.2 with the clock in the status bar.
If you want to remove the clock, you can flash the no clock package.
EDIT: Spaz beat me to it. Thx Spaz.
ok cool..thanks!! lookin forward to enjoy this ROM
..its really irritatin to have to flash to base ROM's and then flash to the updated ROM's....
@xtremekilla09
thanks!! downloading NOW!

I flash to FireFly 2.2 and its looks awesome + I've been looking for a ROM that had the fix for when I connect the AUX cable to the car radio I can talk to anyone on the phone and hear them on the car speakers... This ROM has that fix finally, I love it... no more Blutooth head sets. But I have a big issue and is that when I make my 3rd or 4th reboot my phone freeze on the "F" boot logo. It does that vibrating action once and then twice like when there's an error. I have flashed my phone before so many times and had no issues and I have been using all FireFly ROM's ever since It came to life. This 2.2 ROM I have flashed like 4 times and I keep having the same problem and I don't want to flash any other ROM only but this one. What can be the reason for this problem? Please Help!

That is quite a strange problem.
Lets try to troubleshoot it.
Did you install any third party app that needs to load at startup?
Did apply any themes?
Glad to have this open since i cant post on the original thread yet
Sent from my Captivate running FIREFLY 2.2
Q: is hsupa enabled on this rom? also i'm in australia using 850/2100 wcdma could there be any issues with this modem?
thanks, i'm super excited about ff..... it will be my first flash.
haven't even recieved my phone yet but i'm already obsessed!
A: ok, JK4 hsupa positive. oops forgot about the modem thread. still any word on 2100 would help.
thanks

Not sure! but the only one I can think of would be "Launcher Pro", but I have always used it, and this problem has never happened. When you install it, you need to reboot again in order for Launcher to take effect. I do need to point out that before this flash I when to stock with Odin. I never have the need to do this cause I use too flash directly from "Rom Manager" but lately I was noticing that when I flash using ROM Manager It wasn't taking me to the green menu, it was taking me to what I think it was the stock menu with blue, yellow and a red letters where red was an error message,so that's why I decided to go to stock and then I did all the steps needed in order to flash a New ROM using the thread from the development section then I flash FF 2.2 and ever since when I boot like for the third or fourth time it freezes. I hope for a solution... I'm only digging FireFly right now cause lets face it...
Thanks a lot for your attention...
Several Questions
I've been using Firefly since it came out and upgraded to 2.2 last week. I do have a couple questions after having used 2.2 for awhile.
1. Why were the dark apps removed (gmail & market)? It seems like Firefly has a darker theme and using the modified apps as default makes sense. Maybe a CWM zip containing all the dark apps would be an option or links to the forum pages? I was able to find dark versions of Gmail, Voice, Gtalk, and the Market by searching, but I think it would make more sense from a theming sense for these to be included by default.
2. What's the best way to remove the Samsung Apps? I flashed the zip and messed around with it a bit, but realized I don't need it. You can't uninstall it like normal apps so I was thinking about removing it with TiBu, but I don't want to mess something up. Suggestions?
3. I searched around the forums, but I haven't been able to find a simple answer to this: does this rom support call recording? Is this a kernel issue or simply a rom feature that Firefly hasn't implemented? If this is something simple to do without losing theming, I have no problem with that, if not consider this a feature request.
4. Not sure if this is a Firefly issue or an ESPN issue, but since flashing 2.2 my ScoreCenter app keeps reverting to the user Tron98001. I don't know who this is or how it got on my phone, but it keeps changing all my settings. Everytime I delete the app and wipe the data, it defaults to that same user when I install it again. If I change the user and settings, within about a day it reverts back. Again, I'm thinking this is an ESPN issue, but I was just wondering if anybody was having the same issue since I didn't have a problem until upgrading to 2.2.
You can always try different modems, to see which one works best for you.

1. There were too many bugs involved with the dark apps. I decided that it is best to include stock and let users decide based on their preference.
2. I will have to create a CWM zip that takes care of this. It is not as simple as uninstalling.
3. This ROM does not have call recording. It is considered illegal in many states, to record calls without consent of the other part. I just want to stay away from the mess. Users can install that option on their own.
4. That definitely looks like an app issue.
I believe my ROM is more toward the neutral side and I dont wont to force themed apps (that are buggy) or features that can get them in trouble.
I am just being honest.
Let me know if there are more questions.
As FF is rogers based, can it support usb audio out through the car dock? I downloaded the rogers car dock app and no joy. Changed the kernel to FB2, which should have the fix, and still no joy.
Thanks for the amazing rom though!

I did run into this problem when I flashed Fire Fly 2.2. The only way around it was to uninstall Launcher Pro and then install it again. I am not sure what caused the problem but this did solve it for me. The one downside of this is that all the screen setups that I had got removed. But that is minor to me since I move things around all the time any way.

That fix is still in the works in Xcal's kernel. We will have to wait till it is implemented all around.
Thanks for your quick response. I'll wait for the CWM zip to remove the Samsung Apps. I understand the legallity of call recording and it is something I just wanted to try out, anyways I have a follow up question then: if I apply the phone.apk and libs I found (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938860) would I lose the theming of the dialer that comes with Firefly by default? Do you know of any reason why this wouldn't work?

Just installed these earlier(Odin method) on my 100% OEM gingerbread captivate and I ran in to some issues.
-I'm noticing some sluggishness in various actions, i.e. unlocking the phone, using the connect-the-dots lock screen, etc. Didn't do this before.
-Seems like the battery is draining a little faster than normal.
-Seems like I have less free memory than normal.
-I can not figure out how to fit a wallpaper to a single screen since I don't keep icons on the other screens and even deleted/disabled them in the launcher desktop settings. When I go to wallpapers > gallery > my wallpapers folder > my wallpaper I always choose the rectangle option and click/drag and set that. Now I can only see a small portion of that rectangle as it seems to be zoomed in like 50x. Does it with every custom wallpaper I try.

Really? I'm currently running same as yours Legend 5 ICS with Corn 7.06 and my results are far more different than yours. I have experiencing any of issues or what so ever and I have more free memory than the past Legend 4. I'll suggest that you FLASH back to STOCK KK4 using One click Odin in the development section so it will be a fresh and clean reflash. Then root your phone using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680048 and get CWM. Then FLASH the LEGEND 5 ICS FULL WIPE ROM in CWM. Wait and poof! All is good.
Did you upgrade from another ROM? A previous version of Legend? Go back and flash the full wipe version of Legend. I think you'll see your problems go away.
@ red and takeoutt thanks for the posts @ op hopefully the issues will be taken care of with the one click takeoutt recommended if not feel free to to bring up any other issues you have on the Legend Q&A thread..

So I'm using this post to go back to OEM with the option "I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe"...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
And using this post to root my phone and get Corn 7.0A Kernel using his batch file method...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680048
What are the steps for reinstalling the Legend 5 ROM? With Corn 7.06 Kernal I booted the phone in recovery mode and used that new kernal menu to install the ROM.zip from internalSD, I'm assuming the process will be about the same?
Do I need to reinstall GB bootloaders or will those always be on my phone due to previously having GB?
Anything else in particular I need to know before doing this?

Thanks for the link, I'll check that out.
I posted a reply above to confirm if those are the correct links/steps I need to perform this reset/reinstall. Want to be 100% sure before I do this.
Sounds like you have the steps down.
Just make sure you flash the full wipe version of the ROM

Pretty sure that's what I went with before, "Legend_v5_KK4_ICS_FW.zip," but maybe it was that 7.06 kernel giving me issues.
Do you know if this wipe/reinstall will give m back my ability to fit backgrounds to my screen again? That's a HUGE annoyance mainly because I only use a single screen, I removed the other blank screens via the holo launcher, and it still stretches my backgrounds for some reason. I'm wondering if I just need to crop my images to single-screen size for them to work properly.
ETA: OdinOneClick got me set back to OEM KK4 without issue. That custom batch file got me rooted and set to Corn 7.0a Kernel without issue. Now rebooting in to recovery mode once more so I can reinstall Legend 5 ICS FW.
Just finished reinstalling Legend 5 and all my apps.
Seems to be running a bit smoother than before., memory free is about the same, but wallpapers are still showing as zoomed in when I choose them(uploaded to externalSD or Zedge wallpapers). Any idea on how to fix this?
I use Go Launcher so I can't say for sure...
Give me a few minutes and I'll switch launchers and see.....
It does this across Go Launcher and Holo Launcher. Touchwiz seems to keep it the normal size.
Now I have to go restore my Go Launcher from backup because I hit the wrong button.....grrrr
What do these launchers do exactly, and what would some pros/cons be if I switched from holo to something like touchwiz?

The launcher is what lists your programs and shows you the home screen. Some add new features, some use less memory, some are just plain faster. You just need to try them and see what you like best. You might want to download a program called desk migrate to help move your layout between the different launchers.
Thanks. I'll see whats out there and give them a try.
Can't really seem to figure out what launcher my phone has(OEM) and where I can find other launchers.
What launchers and themes are compatible with Legend 5 ICS? I guess it would help to know what's been tested before I just go throwing whatever on this phone.
ETA: robm1911's "Stainless" theme for the Captivate is awesome looking. Not sure on compatibility, though.
I find the holo luncher very responsive and snappy. Got no problems at all really.

Hololauncher worked great for me, but it kept zooming in on my wallpapers which was a deal breaker for me.
Touchwhiz 4.0(in second post of L5 thread and listed as TW4) not only fixed that resolution problem, but it also offers more customizations and seems just as snappy as HL did. Definitely worth trying out, just use homeswitcher from the market to switch back and forth between launchers if you don't want to make a full commitment to just one.
The app that either you or rob recommended that backs up your settings and moves them between launchers did not work for me. It downloaded and installed but wouldn't do anything when I tried to run it. No biggie as I only run 2 screens, homescreen for apps and second screen for games. Not too much to set up.
Has anyone tested TW4.5 with L5? I guess it's just a re-work of 4.0 with some extra options thrown in.
have you tried go launcher ex?
i think it has the option whether to zoom in your image or letting it display normally on the wallpaper
So I bought a Samsung Galaxy S from ebay, which had been rooted, and is currently running Jelly Bean with apex launcher.
I have had so many problems and had to flash the new rom on it countless times now and I'm sick of losing everything every time and never trusting my phone. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong?
I had a notification for an update for Apex Launcher a couple of days ago through the play store, so I updated it. It then would kept failing, and telling me "Apex Launcher is not responding". It wouldn't even respond long enough for me to turn it off normally... I had to take the battery out in order to turn the power off.
This was not the first time Apex had crashed on me so I thought I'd download Go Launcher instead. It all seemed fine, however it started to randomly rearrange all my icons and then wouldn't let me customise it at all - couldn't add new app shortcuts, widgets, or rearrange anything whatsoever.
I decided to factory reset and wipe the caches etc and flash the original rom on it for now, but not sure if I should try and remove Apex somehow and use something else or if it's the rom I'm using or what?!
Would anyone be able to help??
sorry forgot to mention that I am almost a complete noob at this and flashing a new rom is about the only thing I can do, I have no idea what all the different roms are etc I just flash the one that was already saved on the memory card that came with the phone!

downlaod a more stable ro(cm9 maybe or ics rom,I dont know because I dont have i9000 but i9001),just go to i9000 android development and download a rom.Then install it in recovery but before installing wipe everything(data,cache and dalvik),u will see that in how to install section.Just follow the instructions
Hey,
Start from the beginning.
Download JVZ or JPU rom (Gingerbread of Froyo), flash via Odin. It is really simple. Root it and install CWM.
Next Download pure CM10, install it via CWM. Only the your system will be clean and fresh.
Hey
If u hav I9000 then downgrade to 2.3.6(link given below..)..that should solve ur issues..
Hey guys, so i recently updated my phone to CM10 with the Sephamore Kernel. What happens is if i use the phone for anything other than calling or texting it will crash. Any app will make my phone crash after 2 minutes of use. Even texting sometimes kills my phone, when i try and reboot it crashes at the boot animation. Only after i wait for 15+ minutes of off time or plug in the charger does the boot finish.
I've tried reflashing, different kernels, as well as going back to CM9. Still crashes. Battery life stays the same, some times there are random fluctations but it stays relatively stable. Is my battery shot or is the problem with how i flashed the roms?
Sorry if there aren't enough details, let me know what i can do to help solve my own problem
THANKS!

Did you make any mods?
Also, are you using any new apps you didn't before flashing CM10?
Did you factory reset when you flashed CM10?
Alright
1. No i didn't make/or add any mods.
2. The apps i've been using are Facebook, Google Play, Fun Run. Stuff i'm pretty sure should be working.
3. I did a factory reset/User data wipe.
As of now i am back to CM9 stable with the CWM that comes with zip. Still crahes after ~5 minutes of use.

I used the nightly build of CM i believe it was CM nightly 20130105 155Mb. The sephamore version i used was the 2.9.8c.
I think maybe my voltage is all messed up? If i just leave it, the phone works just fine, i receive texts and can send them just fine. But the second i try to play pandora or any app just anything with a slight use of memory or even go into settings it dies.
I went to the performance options of CM 9 and tried to bring the cpu down but that just froze it. Maybe a different rom? Flash it back to stock?
Just need a fix until March thats when im due for an upgrade, just let me know if i need a new battery. I might try out the new Lumia or Nexus 4

Alright, that's CM10.1. Just wanted to make sure you were using the right version of Semaphore for it.
You could try changing your governor and scheduler (I think I used SmartassV2 and noop on my cappy). If nothing works, flash back to stock after a good backup is probably the best solution (Odin KK4 without bootloaders). Start fresh from there.
Thanks! I'll give it a try
Sorry one last question. Do you think this would be a good ROM to restore to? Not sure if i have the right bootloaders since i have CM9. Never had to flash back and worry about bootloaders. Thanks!

If not which from this list would be good?

This just started happening, when I flash new ROMs, I've noticed that my wallpaper from my prior ROM is showing up on the home screen right away on a clean flash of a new ROM. I used the restore apps option. Is Google also restoring my old wallpaper background ? As a result, the stock wallpaper of the ROM is not showing up on the first boot up.

Yes. It is well known that the google restore option cause lots of issues and should almost never be used.
For some reason this just started recently. I used to use Google's restore frequently in the past and never encountered this.

Just goes to show that it has not really been working. Also I would never use this on custom roms. The settings are vastly different and restoring stuff can cause major issues.
zelendel, do you mean that the restore is ropey on even stock, or only on custom ROMs? When I've installed a new stock ROM (e.g. Lollipop to Marshmallow, complete wipe) the Google auto-restore did what it said on the tin, though only for maybe half of my apps - I had to restore the rest manually. Is this what you mean? Apart from this I haven't noticed any problems.
I don't have titanium Backup pro but if I did presumably I can just back up all user apps then restore them. I'm guessing most likely Google is pulling my wallpaper from my theme that has been integrated via CMTE that has been automatically back up. In the past all new custom roms restored with no issue and in fact it still does. I have 100% of all my apps downloaded. For whatever reason my prior wallpaper is also included.

I mean that it acts funny on all roms. Like you said even with Stock it doesnt completely work. This happens more with custom roms then stock but even on stock it can be iffy.
I tend to disagree. I've been using googles backup and restore for quite a while, and it always works perfectly for me, stock or custom ROM.

And this is why it is so odd. I have never had it work right. Even on Stock. It would restore some things and not others. To the point that the rom devs have told people not to do it. Well it is never advised to use it on custom roms as it restores system settings as well and those settings get messed up due to changes in the system by Rom developers.
If it works for some then Im glad, Just wish they would figure out a way for it to completely work for everyone all the time but I can see why it would only work on Stock.
