[Q] SuperNova ROM Issues - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with Supernova?
After installing 2.0.6 I could not receive calls. I flashed back to Stock and re-flashed ROM. Everything worked fine except the battery. It would drop down to 98% after disconnecting from charger. I decided to try to 2.1. Every time i would install it would say error or bad. I redownloaded it twice and even went to stock. Still said the same thing. No idea what went wrong?
So i went back to 2.0.6 and now my gmail force closes when hitting the menu button. I tried to install it from market and it says unsuccessful.
Any solutions? Is there a similar ROM with the 5 screen lock?

battery drops to 98% is a known issue for any rom on 2.2.1.
supernova needs sometime to be mature ...

Did you unzip the supernova and try to add/remove any apks to it? That's the only time I've ever run into errors when flashing.
2.1 should have fixes for your gmail woes...
What is the exact error you are getting when you try to flash 2.1?

I can't remember exactly what it says, it starts to install then says aborted, error installing the supernova_2.1.zip <and under this says (bad) the rest i cannot remember.

Open the zip and rezip it it sounds like a bad DL or just go and grab the 2.3 JS5 and give it a go.

Oooo, a thread dedicated to one of my ROMS shortcomings!! You like me, you really do like me!!

Phone won't recognize memory on Cognition 2.2 beta 9.1.1 and can't revert

I was running on Cognition 2.1.7 and then tried flashing to the new Cognition 2.2 beta 9.1.1 through Rom Manager and what do you know the new one does not detect any kind of storage at all. No phone memory, internal memory or sd memory. What do I do? I can't install any apps because I have no memory. I can't even revert back to 2.1.7 because it says error on line 9 and doing a restore from my backup completes but it just stays at the ATT logo.
I can get back into Clockwork Recovery but everytime I try flashing a different zip file I get different errors. Some at line 9 and some at line 85. I just tried 2.1.6 and got an error at line 9.
ok, you posted this in the cognition thread, I was about to respond, then I saw this, now you are on your own...

Thank you so much. Going to do it now.
I think you mean odin for stock eclair right?
I used the one click downloader and I got it to load up and everything and it says do not turn off target on both the phone and program. But I see no indication of progress at all. What do I do? It has already been about 8 minutes
NVM got it. I set it to Windows XP SP3 compatibility and now it works.
Are you in download mode?

Android Markey Froyo 2.2 Problems

I have been trying to resolve this issue for a day now. I flashed to 2.2 Froyo, unlocked and rooted my Stock Rogers Samsung Captivate. Everything is working fine, I started downloaded all my favourite apps back when I had stock firmware. A few hours into using my phone, I noticed apps that I used to be able to find weren't showing up. I am not sure if it is related, but I noticed this after removing bloatware with titanium backup.
I installed following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861103
After searching forums for hours, the solution seemed simple, modifying a line of code in the build.prop file and overwriting the old one. I have tried this one:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys
with no luck. I decided to reflash the 2.2 rom as I assumed removing the bloat ware was the cause, but I am still having the same market issues.
I am not sure where to go from here, did anyone experience similar problems? Any possible solutions? I really want DBZ scouter back

Cognition has had this since the first release
Im trying to find the Cognition Odin install but its not on the site, the site only has the ROM files. I would ideally want to install with rom manage as it would be a lot easier but my market is so messed up its not even showing up when i search it.

you dont need to install rom manager
put the update.zip on your sdcard and reboot to recovery....
reinstall packages (it will reboot, just reinstall packages again)
you will now be in clockwork
install zip from sdcard, and point to the rom

Thank you so much for the zip file, everything went smoothly. I liked the voice telling me how much time each process would take. However, when I searched the app store for DBZ scouter it still cant find it, or any other paid apps! This is getting really frustrating. Should I give it a few minutes/hours for the paids apps to show up? I am enjoying the rom though, very smooth compared to the stock ones.
It looks like I'm not the only one

[Q] aospCMod | AOSP 2.3.2 (Gingerbread) [02/09/2011]

I need help please. My phone is not in a good place.
Here's my current state:
AOSP 2.3.2 (Gingerbread) [02/09/2011] installed
Home Button doesn't work
Phone Button doesn't work
No Market app installed so can't download anything
Browser works
Incoming calls don't work
Outgoing calls do work
Lock screen doesn't show up
Probably many more issues with things I haven't tested
Here's how I got there:
1) Installed AOSP 2.3.2 (Gingerbread) [02/09/2011] with Firerat's Mod
2) Everything seemingly worked well. Was prompted by Market to install all of the google apps
3) The apps from Marketplace didn't install. I ended up finding the "fix the Market" link on the Wiki and that solved the problem
4) Installed the core apps but some wouldn't install - like Voice Search - failing with an Insufficient Space error I believe
5) Started revisiting the parameters for the Firerat mod (mtdpartmap.txt) and reflashing the FR-boot
6) Didn't solve problem so decided to flash/wipe/reinstall AOSP 2.3.2 again
7) Got me to the state I'm in now. I tried 3 more times, still this is happening.
Going to try now with the 20110210 build and see if that's better. I see there's a fix for the lock screen so maybe it's related. Meanwhile, has anyone seen these symptoms before?
Thanks!

Sorry to hear about that, but I would recommend you to follow the steps from here: http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_another_ROM. Try doing it without Firerat's MOD. Perform step # 2 - 2 to 3 times, before you flash the ROM.
Try and report back. Hope it helps.
SOLVED
2/10/2011 update solves this problem!
When you flash a different Ron, you need to go through the whole from process starting with fr- recovery after wiping/formatting everything. I have had troubles with 2/10. Maybe bad download. I get a weird keyboard error and it wants to send Google a report and can't get by that to start signing in.
I flashed on top of 2/6 yesterday, but still had VVM problems. I finally got that sorted out with 2nd method in GB wiki and started new TB folder.

Pheonix FAQ
Hi. I'm currently on Phoenix 4.5. If i would like to flash to Phoenix 5.2 or Supernova 2.3, would I need to odin it first or can I just flash it over my current ROM?
Also will I need to clear cache, factory reset, etc before flashing?
Thank you.

Really, it's up to you. Some people like to go back to stock. Some don't. I NEVER odin back unless I want to get rid of voodoo quickly. Here is my procedure; boot into CWM recovery, factory reset, clear dalvik cache, install rom. I have never had any problems with this method.
yay! a dedicated Q&A!
maybe here ill get a better answer regarding this:
thanks for answering, although it may be true, i have a feeling that it isnt exactly correct for some of the questions i asked. can any one else comment/confirm?
All captivates are not created equally. Meaning you could have two side by side and flash both with the same rom and have one perform better with it than the other. So its all about finding what works best for you

i feel dumb asking but ive been wondering for a while, and havent found a clear answer,

As for me, I disable lag-fix, always Odin back to JF6, Master Clear, then install my new ROM. In the end it's up to you. I've rarely had any issues while doing my flashes this way. majinzen may rarely have any issues doing it his way.
I can only tell you what works for me.
FC from Test-to-speech settings
I'm getting an FC when clicking "Text-to-speech settings" in the "Voice input and output" settings. Anyone else confirm this?
I'm using 5.2 JS5. I did flash to stock and MC before installing (twice).
EDIT: 5.2 JPY does not have this problem.

if you want that feature you will need to grab the tts.apk from another ROM and put it in system/app.

Regular link is JPY and JS5 link is well, JS5.
Speed on regular is awesome and speed on JS5 is even better. Battery is not an issue on either for me and many others. Keep in mind your results may vary depending on use, modem and kernel should you choose to change it.

Thanks, Adam! I grabbed PicoTts.apk from Darky's v9.3B1 and that solved my problem.
no Bootani anymore
ok so im a bit of a novice flash whore but ive not seen this , i downloaded Pr 5.2JS5, then upgraded the new "c' kernal, all doing well except i cant get the tts.apk to install (stole it from FF 2.2), (ohwell) but i changed my bootani to the new "ashes" via renaming and putting in system/media (overwrite).. now i have nothing....its pauses with a black screen for the alotted time as is there would be one, then it loads the home screen. i tried to revert to the original one by downloading it from -hq , but same result ... did i screw up?
EDIT: This Q&A is a nice touch , i read the hell outa the dev forums, but still have some basic questions now and again .. Thanks!!
Edit: so i pulled the original Bootani from the system/media from a copy on my pc and reapplied it and it works , there may be an issue with the compatability of the "add ons" boot animations at phoenix-hq and the current version "5.2' at the moment , so i guess patience is in order....still having force closes after applying the ttsservice.apk to the rom from other roms..... force closes.
edit: so i hope this helps someone else cause its makin me look like an idiot....the file need for the "Voice input/output" in the settings to stop FC's is "PicoTts.apk", i stole it from the "PR 5.2 JSY" and placed it in the "PR 5.2 JS4"...works fine now! .. but i hear that "adam" isnt going to be supporting the JS4 build any longer....sheesh. lol
I love 4.5 but I have one problem, bluetooth does not want to pair with my Ford sync system, any suggestions or changes I can make? I have tried every thing I can think of but it will not find my phone.
[Q] Phone Call Recorder
I am getting ready to flash Phoenix 5.2. Really like Adam's Roms. however I keep seeing more roms with the call recording in the phone dialer. Does anyone know of a way to transport that feature into Phoenix?
Is it just a matter of grabbing the phone.apk?
Is it even worth it?
Any input is appreciated on the matter. I want to try it but not enough to pull me away from Phoenix, Firefly, or Supernova.
A real noob
I am new to the droid phone, and i have flashed my phone to froyo 2.2. I really like to go to the phoenix rom but have a few questions.
1. I am a very visual person and was wondering if there are any videos on how to install phoenix to captivate phone.
2. I looked at the options for phoenix and still did not see if phoenix supports playing call through car speakers, which is why i'm changing roms in the first place.
3 Which phoenix version would be best suitable for a noob.
Hey,I'm using Phoenix since 2.5 now i'm on 5.2 and it's the best rom I've flashed.The problem is I'm backup everything using Titanium Backup since 3.5 (all apps+system data).Before crossing from 4.5 to 5.2 I've backup everything and then restore all of them.Will this mess up my rom ? I didn't found any problems yet.
Sorry for my bad English

General rule of thumb is to back up your user apps and data, but do NOT restore your system settings(data).

Are you able to pair the phone with other bluetooth devices? I'm not familiar with Ford sync or the process for pairing with one... could you describe briefly the normal steps you take to pair to it?

Just to be clear... you've already flashed your Captivate to a 2.2 ROM? If so, which one are you on currently?
1. I don't know of any videos specific to flashing phoenix, however there are videos available on the forums that demonstrate the flashing process (which you've apparently already done once). The process is fairly straight forward even when just following written instructions.
2. Are you talking about playing your call via a built in phone system (such as the previously mentioned sync?)
3. All the Phoenix ROMs have been solid, so I would always recommend going with the latest.

I'm on Froyo.ucji6 currently.
I'm also having trouble with my droid explorer. Do i really need that to flash or can i use something different. And just to let you know i really do appreciate you taking the time to help a noob out, really. I have researched this but everytime i have tried it, it does not work. I think i have messed up my vcard cause i'm getting an error when trying to import contacts to my phone so i'm just trying to find the easiest way to do this. So thanks now, thanks later for your help.

Reboot & Wifi "error" after 2 weeks of using any ROM

Hi all,
I've been unable to find a post about this for quite some time so I decided to make a threat about it.
I have a recurring problem with my captivate. Usually after about 2 weeks of using a ROM my phone will have 2 issues pop up simultaneously. They seem to always happen together. It seems to happen after my phone shuts off and will not turn back on until I battery pull. Once I do that I am presented with these two issues:
1.) When I try and toggle Wifi it attempts to then simply says "error" underneath it. I have found a few threads about this but no answers
2.) Upon installation OR restoration of any app with Titanium Backup my phone does a soft reboot (goes to spinning CM logo or for ICS goes to the multicolored squares flying around).
Edit: On the newest MIUI it now says "insufficient storage available" instead of rebooting when I try to install an app after the issues crop up, wifi "error" is still the same
I've had these same 2 issues occur with CM7 Stable, RC, and many nightlies, MIUI, and TeamHacksung's ICS build. I believe it may have happened with cognition too but am not positive.
I do not restore any data with TB. Before each flash I wipe system, cache, dalvik, and do factory reset and still this issue occurs without fail after about 2 weeks on any ROM and the only fix I have is to flash a new one.
Nandroid backups DO fix the problem. If anyone is willing to look through logs or something and see what was different I would be eternally grateful and certainly send you something through PayPal
Any help is greatly appreciated and I am willing to try anything at this point. Thanks!

Nah this is the right place. That's a very strange problem you're having though, and I don't know what the exact solution is, if there even is one for this. The only thing I can suggest is going back to stock, and then reinstalling CM7 or whatever you want

Thanks,
Well happened again on newest MIUI. Gonna go back to stock and start over. I'll update the thread if it does or does not happen again.
Unfortunately after using Odin to go back to stock and rerooting/flashing it happened again on the most current build of MIUI. I'm currently at a loss for what to do. Has anyone heard of or seen anything like this?
Thanks in advance

Just curious, have you tried leaving it stock and seeing if it happens on a pure stock ROM? If so it could be a defect with the phone?
If you flash back to pure stock and the issue doesn't come back, maybe try a custom ROM that's closer to stock, not a CM or MIUI or ICS build. I haven't seen this issue, just trying to suggest some solutions.
I had this same problem with my fascinate. I flashed 1.10.21 MIUI follwed by glitch 13.1. This combination used to work, or so I thought. I flashed back to stock, 1.12.1 then a different package of glitch 13.1 and my wifi started working again. I know the captivates and fascinates are somewhat different, but try this out and see if it works.

I guess I could try that, I just like CM7/MIUI so much. Another thing that happens is many different applications start FCing after the problems all begin.
I tried to restore to a nandroid backup I had made before it happened this time and I received an MD5 mismatch which I believe happened last time I tried to restore...
New info:
I have not realized this before but it seems that I start getting a message that says, "Google Talk Authentication Failed", around the same time. Also FCs happen much more frequently. Is there anything I could be doing to cause this?
New Info
Just going to keep this updated with things I have tried in case anyone ever searches for this that has this issue:
Full format of SD card and odin back to stock did not prevent the issue from cropping up on the DarkKnight3 ROM with Icy Glitch. At this point I can only assume it is somehow hardware relatedl
