[Q] so who all stayed with Froyo and who did what?

so with the leaked release of froyo coming out last night. I had a hell of a time getting froyo on my phone. So just out of curiousity who stayed with froyo, downgraded back to cog or waiting for a cogged release of froyo?

waiting for cog 2.2 to check out froyo, thats how much I like having it

I wasn't running cognition to begin with, but I am sticking with froyo.

I just flashed froyo a little while ago and all seems well. I'm definitely going to keep it. I had froyo on my g1, and didnt realize how much i missed i was stuck on 2.1 with a new captivate. But the lock screen is killing me, you have to pull the screen wayyy to far!

Flashed it as soon as the multi upload link was posted. Do far no deal breakers for me. Got it rooted, side loading enabled and everything setup to be my daily driver.
I wish they'd just release the damn kernel so the people smarter than me can really get cooking on some ROMs.

I flashed to 2.2, and it is working amazing. I would never think about going back to 2.1, even though I am not smart enough to root it without the other people making it easy, which they have not done yet lol

With the leaked JI6 Froyo being so stable, I plan on sticking with it until an official release is made.

Does anyone know how to get apps that aren't showing up in the market to show up?
I flashed to froyo today and I like it. I think I'm staying with it. It has too many improvements to give up. It may start getting ported to us by at&t real soon anyway.

I flashed this afternoon.. after having some difficulty (mostly my stupidity for not disabling voodoo lagfix from Cognition) am running Froyo. I've noticed a little lag here and there but used Ryan's one click and it helped somewhat. Sofar it's amazing, havent tested GPS though. I've gotten Chrome to Phone and it works great as well as being able to play Flash. So far nothing to complain about.

I posted over in the COG thread, but I tried Froyo for a day and then flashed back to stock and then back to COG 2.1.6 w/Atinm's Voodoo kernel. I loved the GPS performance in 2.2 (after I switched to supl.google.com), but everything else is so much more polished in the current COG (as expected). I'm looking forward to the progress that is inevitably coming with Froyo though and more than likely will flash to it again soon.

Sticking with it although I cannot keep all the contracts out of the list SIM, Google and Phone contacts all load......I decided to delete SIM and Phone and keep Google contacts.
Its a keeper though. No need to root the phones yet I have everything I need.

Leaky Froyo beats crappy Eclair any day. It will be fun to see how AT&T cripples the new rom.

I went with Froyo and have not found any show stoppers at this point, so it looks like I will be staying with it.

I went with 2.2 and have stuck with it. I'm not having any issues other than the contacts list thing and its not that big of a deal to me. Ill go with COG 2.2 when he gets all the bugs worked out with a clockwork or odin install.

Never tried cognition Roms, but the leaked build seems to be 100% fully functional. Haven't had any issues, I'll be staying with it until the official release and rooting etc gets as easy at eclair build.

[Q] Why Official Froyo Being Called Back?!

Hi all,
As with the topic above, anyone knows the real reason with the call back of the official JPM firmware( or JP6)?
Read up on some sources, some said that its causes unstability. However, so far it seems okay to me in terms of stability and usabilty. Running on Darky's Steel Edition Rom 3.0. Seems good.
Cheers.

Just take a quick look at the changelist from JJ1 (SC02) and JPK, JPM / JP6 and compare these. All of these builds are from the same tree!
And did you ever take a look @ your logs (being on "stock" JPM / JP6)?
Yes, the customized ROMS are really really good. But all of 'em still have some (mostly minor) issues. I think Sammy has got to fix all (or most) of them before
they finally want to release it.
Btw, do you remember the first 2.2 releases from HTC
The only question is: Which way does less overall damage?

I think the final release will be almost identical as JPM/JP6 but Samsung has to patch the Kies so that it won't brick SGS so easily.

My Froyo 2.2 is unstable!!!
I for one really can't wait for the next "official" fix
My cold boot up times are way slower than the JG5 firmware and the phone suffers from forced closes sometimes and lags like hell!
It's just so annoying knowing what the phone is capable of but not having the firmware to back it up.
I hope the official froyo 2.2 release fixes all the bugs!

Well mine run better then ever on the official jp6. Granted root and lagfix is still needed becouse of the lovely rfs...

Porting I9000 roms onto the Vibrant isnt as easy and clear cut as it seems. Thats why Eugenes first 2.2 port was full of bugs

waiting..... i am very excited for this rom

The captivate has this rom too

Its really pointless porting a 2.2.1 rom at this point. First, its honestly not much faster. Second, we're really close to have an official 2.2, maybe even gingerbread. We'll more than likely have gingerbread before anyone actually ports a fully working, bug free 2.2.1 rom based off i9000 code. You might get a VERY minor speed increase, but of course with the trade off of having tons of bugs. Not worth it in my opinion. Speed AND stability is the way to go. Not speed and bugs.

Exactly, and the only reason I brought Ragnarok to the point I did was because I had already started it. I did, however, learn a lot in the process. And I finally figured out how to fix the dang gps - even so, it is nowhere near a daily driver - more a curiosity.

This is true, if we have a ported 2.3 there is no point of having a 2.2.1
But I had in my i9000 a 2.2 ROM version and when switched to the one of Darky (2.2.1) I could see a real change in speed. (I had before Voodoo). Anyone could notice the snappiness of the phone!
It is pity, the devices have so small differences in hardware and it is so difficult to port ROMs. If you notice the Galaxy S forum is full of custom ROMs and mods, plenty of them. Aditionally long time ago there was unofficial and then official FroYo...
Waiting....The only reason I got the Vibrant is the AWS ... (and it still needs a mod for the FFC)

Yeah, I had the same curiosity 2 weeks ago. I had 2.2.1 running on my phone. For the most part it ran fine, but would randomly get tossed into a bootloop. And when I say randomly, it was extremely random. There would be times my phone would run for hours, other times it would bootloop an hour after boot, 20 minutes after boot, or immediately after boot. lol.

If you read the ragnarok thread there is a possibility that the boot loops are triggered by signal strength. Still, it would require capping the strength to stop it.

Ok so I am understanding (sorry still learning the lingo here and there), The I9000 2.2.1 is not that great but the 2.3 Gingerbread from the NS is possible to be ported to the Vibrant right?
If so then sombionix, may I suggest you dont bother your precious time with all these leaked releases (JL_x's) and only work on the 2.3 NS port. I have used a few of your roms and they are sweet, I can only imagine what it will be like with all the JIT patches in 2.3!

[Q] Which ROM/modem? AT&T, GPS, HSUPA

I haven't flashed a new ROM in awhile and really don't want to have to go through every ROM/modem combination to find one that works for my needs. I know plenty of folks here go through almost every ROM that is available so I'm hoping to pick your brains.
1) I'm NOT asking "what is the best ROM". I <3 -all- of the ROM authors and don't wish to start that kind of mess.
2) I'm willing to try a couple of combinations to see.
3) My Cappy is brand new (I just exchanged my old one under warranty since I was one of those in the original batch that got the lovely random shutdown issue even with 2.1-update1) ... not sure if that is going to matter or not but I've read a lot of posts that seem to make it clear that different Cappy batches behave better with different ROMs.
So ... what I'm primarily looking for:
* I'm on AT&T so I need 850
* I would REALLY like to get improved GPS performance ... I don't want to buy a standalone GPS (wife has one, I'll use it when I have to) ... right now even with the GPS tweaks like Skyhook I'm just not getting acceptable lock times and it loves to break lock.
* HSUPA ... I'd like to enable HSUPA. I'm fortunate enough to live in an area with a new 3G tower and small population, which means I know there is more bandwidth available so I might as well use it. Especially since on occasion I need to tether.
* I don't want to lose noise cancellation
* I would like a ROM with good battery performance
Otherwise I'm not concerned with new features ... besides the issues above I do fine with the 2.1 ROM (not saying I don't want 2.2, just saying I don't care whether the custom ROM includes custom launchers, themes, etc). I would -like- working Bluetooth + HSUPA but my version of "working Bluetooth" doesn't care about voice dialing.

PS. I've read a number of threads on ROMs and modems ... but my brain hit information overload once I started trying to match up both. I probably could have settled on a single ROM -or- modem, but trying to get them to mesh well just didn't compute.

Everyone has different experiences with different roms. I know it's a cliche but it's true. I've had pretty much no gps in a rom that boasts about gps. Best to try each rom and see if you like any.

Personally I love my combo of darky's 9.1 with suckerpunch oc/uv kernel and the tjl3 modem. I really haven't used the gps much and so I can't say about that (make sure to use faster fix to get the right region). The battery life is all day for me and I use stereo bluetooth headphones all day. I really like the look too. I don't know if it has noise canceling though. Hopefully this is helpful.

HSUPA requires an I9000 based ROM with a matching modem.
I'm using Serendipity 5.0 with a JK4 modem.

The only way to have noise cancellation is to stay with 2.1. From what I understand, att is the only one to have included the noise cancellation chip and since we do not yet have an official Att 2.2 source we can not take advantage of the chip.
Not sure on this one, but doesn't i9000 based roms have the bt static issue? And is the i9000 roms the only ones that let you have hsupa? Sorry a lot of information is on this site and I am trying to learn as much as I can.

Started with the included modem (??), flashed jk4 with CWM (didn't help), moved to Telus JL3. I like JL3 better right now.
Just know that you have to pay attention to what ROM you're using. If you're running a I9000 rom, you have to use a I9000 modem.

Shutdown issue

So I know first hand about the cappy's notorious shutdown issue. My first ever cap was quickly replaced due to this issue. My second one went about six months without a single shutdown. Then I bricked, sent to samsung for repair. They replaced the pba. When I got the phone back, I started running firefly rom. All of a sudden my phone would turn off and I would have to hold down power button for about 30 seconds to get it to turn on, or have to boot to recovery. I had a brand new cappy that I have had froyo and GB based roms on, and same prob. Replaced the new one, we'll c what happens. Question is, am I just really unlucky or are custom roms causing the prob? Is it possible the fix samsung did causes the prob in my old fixed phone? Old phone is a 1010, first new phone was an 1101, and newest phone is an 1102

I have had a phone of 1008 build...it was working fine until I flashed Onix kernel and it started shutting down randomly...so I got it replaced from ATT...now I have 1007 build and not a single problem what so ever...
I am not sure abt the custom rom (as I had flashed almost all roms on that 1008 build phone with Speedmod kernel with no problem), It might be related to kernel, as I experienced in my case..

Seems simple enough.

Thanks for the sarcasm. You guys are really COOL. I just asked because sometimes I go several days without an issue. So to flash stock and check, and flash roms and check is a really drawn out process. Thought if I asked for others insight it might help. That's what this forum is for......right?

After flashing and reflashing and voiding my warranty many times over, I've begun to wonder the same thing. I think that some phones are more prone than others to encounter problems when running custom roms due to hardware inconsistencies between individual phones. My phone is a 1006 build and although I've never had a single stability issue with official I897 firmware and I897 source-built roms, when I run I9000-based firmware I notice a few quirks. If I'm running an I9000-based kernel, my rocketflash AC adapter won't charge the phone while it's powered off (ok, I can live with that, just kinda weird). For a while I used existz's Onix kernel and I would always experience sleep deaths and sometimes lock-ups while using the phone when I tried to overclock (even to just 1.2ghz with minimal or no undervolting), and sometimes even when I wasn't overclocking. Now that I'm trying to claw my way onto the 2.3 bandwagon, I'm having trouble finding a rom that doesn't have the charging bug (charges to 100% and then starts draining), though some people say this isn't actually an issue (apparently their hardware behaves differently than mine with the same firmware). So, is it the phone or the roms? Yes.

I had a brand new phone and experienced the shutdowns 2 or 3 times a day. I then flashed firefly and they stopped. I also tried gb and they came back. Now im back on firefly and they stopped again. For me at least the shutdowns are completely rom/kernel dependent. Also I noticed on mosaic the shutdowns happened more frequently on certain kernels.

Thanks for letting me know ur experiences. Just thought it was weird that my phone that worked great for 6 plus months all of a sudden started shutting down after being fixed by samsung. I thought it was a rom, kernel issue. Sucks if firefly is the culprit cuz I like running it on my day to day phone, since I use GB roms on my other phone, and so far call quality sucks with them. Guess I'll try some other kernels with firefly and see how that goes. Thanks again.
