Right, all this talk of improvements gave me that rom flashin' feeling. So I jumped.

Backed up using Titanium Backup, miui backup, and some market app which I use as a backup backup.

Moved (which I believe now was a dumb idea) most /sdcard items to PC. Pushed rc8 zip to /sdcard, then adb reboot recovery.

In recovery, formatted /system, /data and /cache. Then installed zip.

Phone booted fine, no problems.

Tried restoring data using miui backup and began to have problems. Somehow I have two gallery icons? Can't remove system application?

I'm inclined to think jumping on the update wasn't a sound idea.

-Edit, all is happy. Ran through the steps in post 1 #6 and all is happy, for the most part.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
There are two galleries. Miui gallery and 3d gallery

cant get chompsms to work

it was working just fine till now

i tried clearing data , the app started , but as soon as i enable contact picture in conversation list , it force closes instantly

tried , reinstalling , and the compatibility toggle

its happened on many other miui RCs

how do i shared logs or something tht can give u guys the idea of wht happened
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
I think at this point, battery life is no different than most other Froyo ROMs and all GB ROMS.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Not much less than Samsung ROMs.

It was built on Froyo bootloaders because there was no official gingerbread at the time, so it was built on whatever was stock for the time. If you start off of Gingerbread bootloaders, since things are so different, a lot will be broken.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
This is based off of CM7, which also is using the 2.2 bootloaders. They made it so you don't have to flash the 2.3 bootloaders.

You don't want to flash bootloaders that are for another device.

I'm running platypus
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
And still no signal? Try one of these modems/radios:

http://goo-inside.me/captivate/radios
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Make sure you are not using the miui version, it has the old ril polling.

You want to use the cm7 version.
[Captivate Android Development] SpaceKebab:
Hey guys, I cant seem to get a working radio after the latest release - what could I be doing wrong? went through all the pages since the release

I formatted system, data, cache, etc, reinstalled the rom, tried platypus neo6-10,11, the new radio version, the old radio version, the CM7 versions... tried a couple of the old modems and the new modems (JL2, JL3, JV6, etc) combinations of all of the above, tried glitch, (formatting system, data, cache, with every new attempt stopping short of a full stock format because I dont have a windows machine near by) and still cant get a signal

"Baseband version: unkown"

sorry if I overlooked a simple and already addressed fix and thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Make sure you are not using the miui specific versions of the kernels since they are outdated.

Read the post above yours.
[Captivate Android Development] SpaceKebab:
Oops, did not see those posts but I allready tried the CM7 versions and no go, even tried the modem/radios in "http://goo-inside.me/captivate/radios"
[Captivate Android Development] SpaceKebab:
are we talking about	"CM7_CAPPYMTD_20110606-01_r_platypus-revolutions-kernel_0_NEO_06(no-led).zip" ?

besides - it should've worked off the bat with the stock kernel included in 1.6.10 right?

edit: not sure if this makes any difference but no go with the escapists kernel either
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yes.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Yes.

Most CM7 kernels are stabler and newer than MIUI kernels.

If you want BLN, download the led notification version of it.

Having some difficulty running speech to text with Swype keyboard installed - it really is a help for me on text...any ideas on how to get it working?
[Captivate Android Development] SpaceKebab:
Just an update: after flashing back to .3 and realizing I lost signal there too I buckled and reverted to stock. A direct flash to. 10 from there fixed my problem
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Yes the 1.6.10 rom zip includes the new CM7 kernel and compatible modem/radio. You can flash any of the newer CM7 kernels along with the newer CM7 modems.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Same problem as I did last time. But, this isn't a big problem.

Just flash to .10 again.

Then, flash a CM7 Platypus Evolution Neo-06 Kernel(or other CM7 Kernel with new RIL polling) and a new modem(you can find this in OP).

Done.

Can I use heimdall to restore back to stock?

[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
Are you serious about the website name? Lol

Thanks for the link
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
I would say Heimdall is for Rogers Captivate(SGH-i896) instead of AT&T Captivate(SGH-i897).

You can try, hopefully, it won't brick the phone because of the bootloaders.

Would like some help on this also. Camera WAS working great. I was taking pics to send from the message app. It was the 3 pic I took and I got a hot reboot. After that, the camera app forces close no matter what. Any ideas guys? Would really appreciate the help. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm going to pull the apk from the zip, put it on the internal SD, pop it in system/app and change the permissions to rw-r-r. if it works I'll update, but I'd still love to know the cause...

Edit: Camera does work again if you pull from the zip, put in place and change permissions. I had to reboot for the icon to show up... but it worked... That will fix it for now, but again, I have no idea what caused the camera to stop working.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Yea. I hope the next release will fix the Camera problem. It just force close after 3 shots. I need to reopen it again if i want to shoot. Although I don't really care for the Camera, I still wish it will be fixed soon.

Kernels???

I can't get the Platypus Kernel to work on MIUI 1.6.10, which ones will work with this new version?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Try clearing the data for rom manager & titanium back and then uninstall and reinstall them.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Make sure you are installing the CM7 version instead of the MIUI version; MIUI specific kernels are now outdated and will no longer with with MIUI 1.6.10.

They're all on the front page. Just make sure you are not downloading any versions that have miui in the name.

Cm7-kernel-name = good

miui-kernel-name = bad

since miui doesnt work with rom manager how to do attempt to flash a modem. just get into recovery and flash? OR do i need to use odin?

For the Escapist kernel, flash nightly 4 (located on the second or third post of his thread), don't flash 5.3

I get the headphones are plugged in icon, not sure if rotation works or not cause I didn't try it, just want to use it and not quite sure what I need to change to use it on my cappy
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Nightly 4 which is located on the third post of the kernel thread.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Neo7 is only for the i9000 currently.

To get the headphone and rotation fixed, you need to wait until the captivate version is posted.

Thank you, I'm sorry for being such a burden I just didn't look, I'm sorry.

Thanks for the reply but that does make sense, I went back and got neo 6 and its fine, any idea though what's different in the two kernels?

The last one posted was neo 6, there is no nero 7 for the captivate.

If you downloaded neo 7 then, you downloaded the i9000 kernel since it has neo 7.

[Captivate Android Development] trialsrider1:
I found a little bug in the kernel I believe, in Neo-07 the volume buttons are mapped incorrectly, the volume up is down, and vice versa

Yes, you need the premium version to do updates.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
Same reason you'd OC anything... to make it faster :D. I'm not recommending over clocking to anyone as it could damage your phone. The current reason that I'm over clocking is so that my phone can better handle the nvidia games that are coming out. :cool: . It can also make your phone run a little smoother if it's being bogged down from excessive apps and widgets.

Edit: What He Said!! Next post down... Thanks Hal
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
BETTER QUADRANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Faster phone under load, better framerates in games, just better overall performance. Consider it doesn't stay at highest clock, it constantly goes higher and lower depending on the workload. So it won't kill your battery much.

Undervolting just saves battery!

I need a little direction with restoring Miui backup and Theme Manager backup. I just flashed 1.6.10 from stock after a master clear.

Now when I restore my settings, my apps populate multiple homescreens instead of being in the folder I created for them. Very annoying.

I made the backups running a different kernel, but I suspect that won't have any impact on how miui backup or theme manager backup restores homescreen settings.

Is there a proper order to restoring which results in 100% success?
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
I don't because...well yes it makes your phone so-cal faster but it kills your battery life. I'm not knocking guys who do overclock the phones but I mean come on...it's a phone. Android is already notorious for bad battery life and overclocking the phones doesn't help the battery life. Hopefully Android will be able to address this battery drain issue in the future, until then the dev's are doing a great job trying to combat this problem with better ROM's so keep up the good work!!!
