NM. It will clear if deleted. I was expecting it to clear once it was checked without needing to delete. Seems like that is the way it should work. Thanks.

Feedback
Been a lurker on XDA for a little bit; this is my virgin post. Just wanted to give a little feedback and thanks for the ROM. Going on my second day running it, and so far I love it. I'm new to the Android scene (got a Captivate at Xmas), and I've bounced around with different ROMs and setups, and so far Phoenix has been great: snappy, responsive. And (whether from Phoenix or otherwise) my battery life seems to be doing a bit better.
The only hitch I have is a single random shutdown last night. Went to bed with my alarm set and the battery at like 75%, woke up and the phone was off. Restarted it and it was at 55%-ish and has functioned fine since then. Not sure what woulda caused it (only installed a few apps since flashing). Oddly, since turning it back on this morning, it's only used 10% or so of the battery. So it burned more last night idle and shutting down than it has today through moderate use. Go figure.
Anyways, thanks again and keep up the great work!

OK! I installed the jpa WiFi fix per danrubi's instructions - actually that was too simple, using CWM, and it was successful, far as I can tell. Monitored battery drain for over an hour now, with WiFi, GPS and other apps running, and it seems to have improved. Dropped from 99% to 89% in just over that hour - which I think is an improvement. I will keep checking.
Thanks saurkrawt for the heads-up on IRC...will try it.
Question: Since jpa WiFi fix.zip was so simple to install, is this the same method for installing other .zips, i.e. Themes, and other Add-Ons? (so proud of my nOObie self)
Thanks again (he said while trying to keep an eye on the Saints vs Seahawks game...Go Saints!)

It is that simple, IF it's CWM. Most themes, kernels, modems are CWM. Just make sure it is before you try to flash it

OK how did he do this ?
I have not had any luck getting mine to look like it.
I tried but then all the other icons went to a dull gray like before..
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thank you, kanji ...you are a master. My next attempt at greatness
will be theme change, although I'm not certain the themes on the Phoenix website will work with 1.5...can anyone clue me in?Gratefully...Chuck

Gratefully...Chuck
Just from memory, but I think they will all work with 1.5. It'll say one way our the other, it'll say "1.5+". I really like Cozmic's. Just remember, I don't think there is a package to go back to stock. So if you flash a new theme, the only way back to stock is to re-flash
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Ya that's the problem with the stock theme...I couldn't find the theme. But there are some other themes you can check out similar to stock: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896339
P.S. Kangi, I didn't realize you were the OP of that thread

Take a look at the link in the op of the themes thread, I think it's www.phoenix-hq.com
xtreme and dfuse have put some great themes together

I have asked for help trying to get the circle icon back on the Cozmic theme.
I have tried to do it at the UOT Kitchen site ( http://circle.glx.nl/ ). But keep getting the below errors info.
Sorry about the long info, but maybe somebody will help me get it on my phone ? ? ?

It's there by default, unfortunately, when you change you loose it. BUT, if you go here: www.phoenix-hq.com you can find/download it there.
You can also go to the Phoenix thread in the Themes and Apps section of the forum Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896339

How to back up your APPS + data (not system data) with Titanium Backup
Go to the market and download and install Titanium Backup
Load up Titanium Backup and allow super user.
Go into Preferences and change Backup Folder name to external_sd/TitaniumBackup (this will save a copy of the files to your external SD card for restoring after flash) then click back and it will reload.
Now go to batch and select backup all user apps. Select the apps you want and hit run batch (top of the screen) once it is finished (you will know as there is a notification in the drop down that it is done) Double check you external sd for the Titanium Backup folder, if it is there then you are good, if not double check the spelling. Make sure it is an underscore between external and sd. ex. external-sd = Wrong..... external_sd = right so it should read external_sd/TitaniumBackup
Ok So you Fully Bricked your Captivate Here is a last ray of hope

Themes and Stuff
Disable Vodoo before flashing themes like blackfroyo with recovery.
Voltage Settings (If Kernal Supports OC/UV)
VoltageApp settings will stick until reboot, but to get them to stay after rebooting, this is what worked for me; You will need Root Explorer for this one
Setup Voltage App like you want
Menu>Apply for Now
Menu>Save as boot settings
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to /etc/init.d
Locate file saved for boot settings (S_volt_scheduler)
Rename "S_volt_scheduler" to "S_98_volt_scheduler"
Save
Reboot
Open VoltageApp to verify settings stuck

Backing Up your NV_data
Thread With more info
The reason its important to back up your NV_data (Non-volitile) is this has your imei, product code, unlock codes and model. This informatioin is not recreated with a JF6 OCD (One click downloader)
Certain Roms write data to your NV_data
(i think it was JPC leak from I9000 that was the first one. it changed everyones product code to I897ZKAKOR)
Axura changes the product code to I959ZKATMB or something like that
The Correct Product code for our Captivate is I897ZKAATT.
If your IMEI says 004999010640000 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 004999010640000 end_of_the_skype_highlighting begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 004999010640000 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 004999010640000 end_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting this is incorrect also and you may find your phone to stop making calls as this is like a debugging or prototype imei
Finally, if your unlock code is FFFFFFFF, you need this repair in order to unlock your code
All of these can be fixed with Helroz's Repair_nv_data.zip Found Here: http://perso.numericable.fr/helroz/P...ir_nv_data.zip
I did not create the software or any of the instructions, THis is credited to Helroz in the vibrant forum (please thank and donate to him) he came up with all of this, Im just sharing knowlage.
this can be found here: Unlocking Tmo Vibrant

Just read the read me first. then the .Doc Make sure you are at Stock JH7 (I didnt try jf6) and root with busy Box (Super One click by CLShort Fuse worked for me)
Then Step 2,3 and 4. Monitor your phone for SU access attempts, it has several and be patient and read what its asking you to look for,
Now if you havent Backed up your NV_data then now is the time. I Use root explorer and just copy the /efs folder to a safe place (I have a copy on my ext. sd card and a backup hard drive)
You can also Use SGS tools (not SGS tool Box) to do a product code check. This also copies all of the pertenant NV_Data files to a folder on your internal SD card. you can use these also if you want.
Flashing JPP Modem to enable 850
The only guaranteed method for enabling 850 on jpp that is proven to work every time is to:
Flash stock using odin
Flash jg8 modem
Flash rom with jpp modem
Hopping around to other modems and back to jpp after this will kill 850 as well.
For some this is not an issue as they are in areas where 850 is not utilized by AT&T but for others jpp will cause headaches if they try using it without following these steps.
Themes and Graphics
Disable Vodoo before flashing themes like blackfroyo with recovery. (if Running vodoo)
How to change Boot Animation.
1.Find the animation that you want (most be compatible with captivate)
2.Copy bootanimation.zip (it must be named this) with a file explorer that gets you to system files ex. Root explorer to system/media
3.Reboot

Email FC after changing email Fix
Thanks to Newter55 for the find
Download the libcamera.so from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11343737/libcamera.so
Use root explorer or whatever method you prefer and make a backup copy of /system/lib/libcamera.so just in case you need to get it back.
Copy the libcamera.so you downloaded from above link over the existing one in /system/lib.
Delete or rename the existing email.apk in /system/app to test that this fix works.
Reboot phone.
Open Barcode Scanner and enjoy the fact that it no longer force closes.
This will allow people to use whatever email.apk they prefer...or if they are like me they can get rid of the apk altogether.

Just glad I could help. If you need the tracking number for it I can send it to you
