[Q] Any Killer app(s) for GingerBread KF1 (2.3.x) ? - Captivate Themes and Apps

Hi all
Now that Netflix is out for 2.2 -
Is there a killer app which will move ppl to GB KF1?
Considering that Cappy version still have no Lagfix, free Voodoo Sound and OC/UV? (I don't want to use Galaxy S i9000 versions, since no Audience noise canceling...)
Killer app - is an app that only works with GB. An app that is really cool, gotta have it, but can only get it if you have GingerBread.

whats a killer app???

Hmm, im asumming you mean a task killer app. In which case, Apex has one built in... And so does android in general. However im sure you could search the market and choose one to your needs.

I think what he's talking about is an app that only works with GB. An app that is really cool, gotta have it, but can only get it if you have GingerBread.

Exactly
Eggs-act-lee.

Samsungs Facebook APP

samsungs facebook app out of there android market... i think its better than the one in the android market so im posting the apk since not many ppl can access the samsung android market
not bad, thanks for the up! I love the Add Location feature when posting a status - getting closer to "Places" every time there's a new app.......
Just tried it with JI6 Froyo and just Force Closes and won't run... Thanks for the file, if I end up going back to 2.1 I will use.
I also tried it with Froyo JI6. Doesn't work.
Is there any possible way you could get a 2.2 version of it? Everyone I know with a Captivate has already switched over too, so it would be awesome if we all could get it. Thank you!
i just stumbled upon it but ill see what i can dig up for 2.2,samsung has to update for when 2.2 officially comes out for our device

Have you tested this and it is working? Bugs?
And what version ROM are you running?
I hate the default Facebook app for this phone. Just wish I could filter my friends list.
i havent had any problems with it, i have it installed and been using it daily, i dont have the other one installed. I am running Cognition 2.1.1
Works great for me so far. Appears to be superior to facebooks crap app

thanks, but keep getting network errors.
Dont works for me in froyo
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
it prolly wont work with froyo since samsung hasnt released froyo for any of the galaxy s line, but im sure once they release froyo, theyll update the app
I installed and it looks great! My only gripe is that it takes forever to load any of the tabs. I imagine this is due to all the detail of the app (way more options than Facebook for Android). Other than that, I absolutely love it! I just want it to load faster... so I guess I wont be uninstalling the other one any time soon.. =^\
It doesn't recognize the Facebook Account in the Captivate on Froyo..
Samsung Apps is built into all the I9000 ROMS. Someone with the I9000 JPK Froyo build need to download the Facebook App from Samsung Apps and post it here. If nobody does it, I will upload the file the next time I flash my phone.

Best ROM for a casual user

I have a Captivate for my wife for Christmas. She is not electronically deficient, but is not the type that is going to want to keep tweaking and changing ROMs. I do stuff like this all the time, for myself and for her, but just do not have the time to learn it all on this particular platform. I am hoping just to get a push in the right direction, not necessarily newb handholding.
So, are there any good recommendations for a "one-time good-enough tons-better-than-stock" ROM that I can get on this phone and have her be happy with it? Thanks!
Tough one
Cognition had some stable 2.1 roms that are nice.
also has 2.2 roms
Axura is great 2.2 but you will have to use google voice for voice mail notifications to work.
For casual user, avoid roms with over click kernels, just my opinion
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I would have to say Cognition it's pretty rock solid.
I'd wait till' they officialy release froyo for cappy and people start making roms with it. At least it's what I'm gonna do since most 2.2 roms have problems.

I would disagree that most 2.2 roms have problems. Some do require more knowledge of what you are doing though

Thanks. Cognition looked like the best option. I looked through that and Perception, and it seemed like they were both good...but there seems like there is always some underlying little issue. Stuff like having to work around getting voicemail, or a wired headset not working like it should.
I think I will just run with the latest Cognition, and if she finds something squirrely it can go back to stock until 2.2 is released. Any recommendations for working with Cognition?
Read up on the lag fix. I believe it uses voodoo. To disable create a folder in the voodoo folder on the sd named disable-lagfix reboot
If you look to apply themes make sure you disable first. To enable delete folder, reboot

So the lagfix does not agree with themes? Is there any other disagreements VooDoo has?

Voodoo changes the filing system on the phone from rfs.to ext 4. The utility you use to flash themes, clockwork recovery does not always play nice with ext 4. It is safest to disable the lagfix to apply changes like themes then once applied turn it back on

Well this guy is really good at making a rom. im downloading his 1.3 version (should be equal too, if not better), but the 1.2, FREAKING AWESOME! Its my go to rom when i have issues with other roms. Definitely easy to use. only problem was one app was funky, but its the apps fault, others complained about it (on the games website). has the muli touch keyboard and has some great lagfix options. can even overclock IF you really need too. Well hope this helped, if not, best of luck and Merry Christmas!
Bumping up my own ancient thread. My wife has been happily running her Captivate with Cognition for over a year and a half now. It is starting to get a bit long-in-the-tooth and glitchy. With all of the changes over this time, I certainly would like to update it. For daily, average use it looks like CM9 is a safe bet. Are there any JB roms that are worth it and stable? Is there much to be gained from JB over ICS?
Also, I have never had to restore before. I have done some searching and some googling, but nothing seems too clear to me. What all do I need to do to save everything (contacts, calls, messages, applications, app data, pictures, etc.) so that it can be seamlessly transitioned to a new ROM?

I figure I will try one more post in hopes of some help, otherwise I will gladly take the hint and really dig deep into it.
In my opinion CM10 is a great improvement! The current installs all seem to factory reset, so you loose all your apps.
If you stick with CM9 you can flash right over top of what's there. Of course wiping the dalvik and flashing gapps too.

So I can flash from Android 2.2 to 4.0 without impacting any of the data on the phone? That seems almost too good to be true!

Nothing you just said made any sense.

Yes, no, or maybe.

I think the OP wants to know if they can run apps from the Galaxy Tab on Nookie Froyo. (or not)
p.s. just noticed this is my first post. I just recently became active on here when i got my Epic and now Nook. This site is great, keep up the good work.

+1 I think that is what he wanted to know.... The Tab's launcher and email apps fail on the nook's stock firmware--we think-- because they require froyo. I'm GUESSING someone will get it going, but can't speak first-hand...
yes,i have been using slide it and I'm still getting used to it,haha. but anyways, thanks for all your help I guess well just have to wait and see

Game Controller app for Froyo or GB?

Right now im using CM7 (O3D) and im currently using the sixaxis controller to play emulators. I would like to go back to go back to Froyo or GB but sixaxis only seems to work on CM7 (to my knowledge) is there another bluetooth controller app I could use for froyo/GB??
I went to use it on Froyo and GB and the only thing that stopped me was needing root (which I didn't/don't have) so I believe it works on all roms as long as you have root.
No I was wondering what controller app I could use for froyo/GB cause sixaxis app didn't work on those roms
Sent from my LG Thrill or is it LG O3D?? idk I can't make up my mind :-/
The one by Dancing Pixel Studios? I can't imagine it being so limited that it doesn't work on any Froyo or GB. I mean, the description does mention that it doesn't work on all devices and even offers the tester tool to find out but to be strictly rom based just blows my mind. I guess my question is what makes you think it doesn't work on Froyo/GB? You seemed pretty unsure about it.

I know it doesn't work because every time I start it up it reboots my phone lol and that's for both froyo and GB.
That sucks.
I tried it and it also reboots my phone.

After 2.3 update all kinds of app open....

Anyone else having similar problems with apps always opening. I'm constantly opening up app manager and closing music, Google plus, email, maps, message, etc.....I back out of everything so I know the apps are closed. It just seems as if every app I open its listed in the app manager as running even though I close them.

The same thing happens here! It doesn't matter if I force stop the app or use the application manager but apps will always start back up on their own after I stop them including apps that don't sync.

2.3.5 stock. They just open on their own.
It did it on V20C. I switched to V20P and it still does it.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA
im having the same problem here I updated to 2.3.5 with v20p and now it seems like every app is reopening by themselves and I'm constantly running the task manager.
btw what's the average RAM u guys get? cuz the best I've got has been like 240mb of free RAM and I doing get why...
oh and I'm on a thrill P925
I've had the same problem. I ended up installing AutoKiller Memory and got the paid version. I selected the Extreme preset and applied all 10 tweaks. Now my phone runs a whole lot faster. I had trouble running my SPB Shell 3D launcher smoothly as well as games like Shadowgun until I did this. Now I appear to be having no more problems.
I'm assuming it's the memory management on 2.3.5.

It certainly is. Otherwise a utility like AutoKiller Memory would not have resolved my issues. I really had been frustrated for some time. Many don't like task killing apps like this, but if you want to run Gingerbread, SPB Shell 3D Launcher, and lots of apps including some demanding games like ShadowGun then it can make all of the difference.
Same problem on my end. I have loads of apps randomly active in memory. It wasn't like this before the update.
does this happens with v21D and other updates?
cuz im with v20p but im thinking about switching to v21D

When everything is killed for 5 seconds I have around 210mb. Usually my phone will bog down to 50mb and go launcher will pop up asking to clear memory.
