ok tell me this buddy....this new UI and every super cool feature is part of conginition or its Froyo? just curious..

the new ui is stock android, same with the app drawer and lock screen. i think the notification bar is what all captivates will have with the official froyo release. thats all i can think of off the top of my head

 

[viny2cool]

now I am mad at samsung for giving me crap...the froyo looks so awesome men...and the conginitions team has made a wonderful stuff....not going back to stock rom ever again.....

now i see what i was missing before.....anyways if i would have waited for Samsung, i wouldnt be able to see froyo for ages now...Thanks buddy

the only bad thing is its been nearly a week since b6 was released and he usually does 2 or 3 a week so theres probably a new one around the corner haha. i usually read the changelog and if it seems something significant i upgrade, if not i wait for the next one that is sure to come before too long

hey now I rebooted my phone to restore using rom manager and its stuck on white screen with att logo...is that what u call i bricked my phone?

mine did that the first time i updated to b6. try restarting it one more time and if it doesnt work try booting into recovery and restoring one of your backups and then flash cognition again. or you could use odin and install cognition from a completely wiped phone

 

[viny2cool]

after waiting a long time, I removed battery and restarted it again and its again stuck not going anywhere.....

i tried putting it in recovery mode...but again stuck on white screen....

damn now someone tell me how to use odin thing....(

how muc time does it nornally on forst rebooting?

 

[CrimsonPride]

[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY - xda-developers

make sure you open odin first, pull the battery from your phone, put battery back in, hold both volume buttons and plug your phone into your computer. itll go to a screen with an android and a yellow sign. press start on the odin application and it does it all

 

[viny2cool]

its been like 30 mins that my phone is stuck on white startup screen ....how much it normally takes anyways?

 

[CrimsonPride]

the first boot may take upto 10 minutes. after that the rest go pretty fast, probably the exact same as stock

 

[viny2cool]

so i definately messed something up...just hoping that Odin thing works...so I screwed pretty bad..

 

[CrimsonPride]

ah the first brick is pretty scary, but ive been in much worse than you. ive done it dozens of times, odin will work

 

[viny2cool]

ok got odin working, lets c what happens...btw what will happen?

 

[viny2cool]

omg it worked got my stock back....so now i do everything again and it will work...now i got little confidence

also which is a best method to root? I used unleash the beast before....becoz it removes bloatware itself.

 

[Tennis]

Haha, I know it's great.

But what do we do when the official Froyo comes out? Just unroot, then upgrade it?

 

[viny2cool]

people says unroot doesnt take u to stock rom completely, so there are chances that u wont be able to recieve update.

But good thing is when the official ROM will come, we will have better full version roms....so i think i will stick to custom roms...anyways we need laz fixes with stock rom...

by all that thinking, I went for custom rom...bricked my phones and now rooting and custom rom again lol

 

[Tennis]

Yeah, maybe when official 2.2 comes out we will have custom 2.3 ROMS?

 

[CrimsonPride]

fastest way to root is oclf from the market. unleash the beast couldve been one of your problems that caused the soft brick im not all to sure, i always used oclf though

 

[viny2cool]

i used z4root, now trying everything again lets c what happens....

 

[Pheno.menon]

Perception 4 (also from DesignGears) is faster and better.

Grab it here.

I've had it for a little more than a day and am loving it. By far the fastest Captivate ROM around. Comes with a stock 1.2ghz overclock, too.

 

[sob33316]

how is the battery life compared to cog?

 

[Pheno.menon]

how is the battery life compared to cog?

A little less according to other people, but it's been about the same as Cognition for me. It's a new ROM though, he will work battery improvements into it.

It's stupid fast, especially using the flyin animations in the OP of the Perception thread.

I've been running Cognition 2.3v6 for almost a week and it is the fastest rom I've had and the battery life is excellent. I don't use GPS that often, but I've noticed it hasn't picked up nearly as quick as the first leaked version of Froyo. The GPS on that picked up the quickest, but it was very slow operation.

My question, if I disabled voodoo, then used ODIN to flash to Froyo, could I then reenable voodoo by removing the disable folder? Any one else have issues with GPS on Cognition?

my gps was perfect before cognition, i know there are some "fixes" with it but i hardly get a lock anymore but it doesnt bother me

as far as voodoo i dont know

 

[Riehlthing]

I'm trying to weigh the speed and good battery length of Cognition vs the GPS. Screw it, thinking I'll just keep up with the Cognitions and not care about GPS being off. Maybe at some point the GPS fixes will be included in a build. I read a GPS fix on XDA with updating to what looked like the Vibrant system's fix. Not sure if that works better or not. Launcherpro on Cog v2.3b6 is amazingly fast and smooth.
