Leaked 2.2 Froyo thread

LOL, probably is. I won't derail this thread with that kinda thing, but we'll suffice it to say New England is a pretty unique place. ;)

Hopefully some more folks will take drives and use MyTracks so we can see what GPS looks like where they are.

Lol Yep, this area is too :D The Passing Lane we use, I just had never heard the Travel Lane thing before ;) lol The closest I've been to New England is Philly, though my parents lived in ME and NH for a few years. A lot of our Coastal Towns in Mendocino County have a very New England feel and look to them, as a lot of them were settled by New Englander's. Murder She Wrote was filmed in the town of Mendocino on the coast because it looks so much like Maine.

Okay, back to the subject :D I will definitely run My Tracks some and post back. This is a very rural area, and has no Interestates, just highways (ie. US 101, which is a combo of 2 lane Highway, 4 Lane Highway and 4 Lane Freeway in Mendocino County, 101 runs from SoCal to Canada).

Hahaha...wasn't a matter of rambling, more that I know it was like 3 am your time when you posted. Hell, even now it's only 7 am for you...

<----Insomniac :D Well, also a Railroader, I'm used to not getting a lot of sleep lol

I haven't tweaked any settings yet, I am going to try it stock, and then with changed settings, see how it does each time.

LOL. Actually, most of the roads I were on had a travel lane and a passing lane, and I went back and forth between the two. So a lot of the time that you see me moving over a lane, that's accurate. Now, if it shows me driving through a ramp, or straight through Lowe's parking lot? Not so much. :D

So you didn't actually go crashing through Dunkin' Donuts? I was nervous there for a moment!

Although disappointed by the 977 benchmark (has anyone tried 0xBenchmark yet?), this gives me a lot of restored faith in Samsung's dedication to this phone.

quadrant is really messed up with our phones due to the RFS (robust file system) that samsung uses.

I can tell you that this 2.2 build is LOADS faster than any 2.1 final build out there.

A lag fix isn't really needed, but is still there if you want to inflate your Quadrant scores.

I really hope HIGHMEM was not enabled in this 2.2 build, I want my full 512mb of ram :/

why would you guys hijack an important thread with back and forth nonsense about stuff completely unrelated to froyo?

Anyway, I was reading from somewhere online that claimed that some of the RAM is permanently tied up with the OS or something of that nature, so we may already have it without it being displayed to us. I hope that's not the case because I would rather someone to magically allow us to be able to access more than we are currently getting. More RAM is always better!

All I can say is holy shakazooloo,

I flashed Cognition 2.2 (froyo) and despite having to redo some of my custom setting and re-syncing my contacts this is amazing, MUCH faster, bloatware is gone, tethering, flash, added features. and best of all. It all my tests GPS has been INSAINLY awesome. Almost instant locks even in doors, sees -8-12 sats and locks to all of them within 5 meters accuracy. I havent tested the navigation yet or my tracks but so far I am really impressed!

As long as bluetooth is working propperly (havent tested that yet) and everything else I use on a regulare basis, this will be completely awesome. Screw the quadrant scores, if it runs super fast, doesnt lag, shutter, or stutter that who cares what the number is!

It was very easy to flash and went quickly and smoothly with Rom manager and the cognition file.

So Cognition 2.2 is way better than this leaked 2.2 update? :eek:

What do I need to do in order to flash that onto my Captivate? I currently have the JI6 2.2 leak on my phone. :thinking:

- use odin 1-click to restore your phone to 2.1 (because clockworkmod is not currently usable with captivate 2.2)
- use one click root
- download cognitio2.2beta.zip to your internal sd card
- install ROM Manager from market
- flash recovery using Rom Manager
- select flash rom from sd card and select your cognition 2.2 beta

Thread and download for cognition 2.2:

After updating and everything, you will be on 2.2, rooted and ready to go

You can use the included lagfix by opening OCLF app in the app drawer. Install the EXT2 tools, then run the v2+ lagfix

I dont know if Cognition 2.2 is better than the leaked 2.2 or not, I didnt try the JI6, I went straight from 2.1 JH7 to Cog 2.2 but if you want to give it a shot go to

I don't have the ability to get my phone back to stock because I have a Mac and can't use ODIN. I am running Unleash The Beast and One Click Lag Fix. If i disable the lag fix do you think I'd have problems getting the cognition 2.2 beta from my current state?




Thanks for the advice
