Static on bluetooth calls happens whenever you mix a Captivate ROM with non-Captivate kernel and modem. This ROM package is set up that way out of the box, so if you need bluetooth calling you'll have to switch to a pure Captivate kernel (Voodoo JJ4 from supercurio's thread, or the Voodoo JL1 you get with Cognition 3) and pure Captivate modem (JI6, JJ4 or JL1).

Is the speedmod compatible with this? I had excellent battery life with it on Phoenix.

I just put up the new link for your flashing pleasure:D
Do you suppose that you could post a compilation of updates the the current rom on the main page. The full download is good for people that have not flashed yet. For those of us that are up and running, if you could post update 1, update 2, etc. You can delete update 1 when update 2 is posted, since you could keep adding to the updates until a major new relase is created. Just my 2 cents. Does this make sense.

To Flash the entire update would kill all the installed apps.
I like the blue dialer by the way, how about a green one like it. FYI, I am running Speedmod Kernel n. It improved by earpiece volume just a tad, quadrant score a couple hundred points lower, but still seems quite smooth. I could care less about the lock screens anyway, I use the pattern anyway. I also like the app called keep the lights on, it keeps the buttons lighted while the screen is on. It helps in the dark. You have to install it on its own though.

Very true. You could use TIBU to back them up and to tell the truth if you guys like this rom as much as we do Phoenix I would get used to restoring your apps as Adam is a mad man lol. He is always trying to make things better and I am sure he will do the same with this if the source turns out to be worth it. I am doing up all my normal colors with the dialer. Just have to get them done. They will be posted in the Phoenix theme thread. Latest by monday.

recently got a Captivate and im just wondering: Whats the differences between Firefly and something like.... Cognition or Perception? Is it just the base rom that is different?

And is there even a difference between the Rogers 2.2 and others? oO Sorry for sounding like a noob

You won't go wrong to stick with whatever Adam posts. I found Cog OK and I think it uses the same base as Firefly and Perception uses the same or similiar base as Phoenix 3.5, but Adams work is outstanding and he tries to improve the functionality of the phone. Although his Phoenix 3.5 is good, Firefly's rom appears to be even more compatible with the captivate. I personally like Firefly just a bit better than Phoenix, but I like the Speedmod Kernel with it a little better, since the sound is a little louder on the earpiece when making or receiving a call. Ulltimately, it's your choice, but once you've esperienced Adams work, you won't fall far from the Apple Tree.

not sure if this was mentioned yet. but with this rom and also phoenix 3.5, the auto brightness doesnt really work, it defaults to the lowest level when enabled. other than that this rom is pretty awsome, real fast and snappy.

    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

    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 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

    Man, I should really fix that swype issue..lol
    I just wanted to drop in and say whats up.
    If and when I do find time, I will do a quick update, hopefully worthy of a Firefly Thursday (damn, good times :D).
    I really appreciate all comments and all the help from everyone.

    To be honest, I am a little surprised that people are still flashing FireFly (you have no idea how many messages I get weekly through the FF website). I am sincerely thankful to all of you for supporting my work. And to all those who left messages through the website, I apologize for not getting back to some of you.

    Thank you for being a great community.
