if i wanted to have voodoo color support, which kernel should i go for? something preferably stable with CM7....

I'm on the latest build, everything seems great, default volume to media is working again, everything seems perfect. FWIW, I have been checking all day and have not experienced the status bar time issue that ldmelo mentioned. Great work as always!

One quick question about the transparent status bar: Is that pick supposed to make the status bar transparent or is that something that is theme-dependent?
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
stock kernel....
[Captivate Android Development] belyle:
I'm running the 1/31 skanky KANG with no problems so far. I switched over to the battery status bar, with custom color, and everything is good.

I just tried to install this on a friend's captivate coming from stock. I ODIN'd back to 2.1, rooted, used an update.zip to install clockword recovery, and wiped everything/flashed this.

The phone rebooted at the checking mtd step, and since has been bootlooping. Three button does not seem to work. Help?
[Captivate Android Development] ldmelo:
Mine is working fine now, after a reboot and a few wipes...
[Captivate Android Development] apbthe3:
I've gotten bootloops flashing CM7 before as well and they always seem to go away after the second flash attempt. If your three button isn't working, that's not going to help you though. You could always flash back to stock and try again.

Did the 3 button work before the flash? I only ask because not all Captivates have a working 3 button combo.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxirane:
3 button worked a few times when on 2.2, after going back to 2.1 I had to use terminal emulator. I used the one click 2.1 thing.

I'd go back to 2.1 again, but I am not getting download mode to show. Trying to get ADB to see it now.

Ordered a jig. Fingers crossed.
[Captivate Android Development] apbthe3:
A jig will work for sure. You can make one for like $3 with parts from Radio Shack if you don't want to wait for one to arrive.

Once you get into DL mode, instead of flashing back to stock flash any Gingerbread ROM with bootloaders and CWM. The GB bootloaders will give you your 3 button combo back so you won't have this issue the next time. Then try CM7 again. It will flash over Gingerbread just fine.

Once you're on Gingerbread, don't flash any packages with bootloaders and you'll always have button combos (and you won't risk a hard brick flashing bootloaders over and over again).
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Could also try: remove the battery, insert usb, hold both volume buttons and insert the battery. Could take a few tries, but should get you into download mode. I have never needed a jig.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Try heimdall, too. I'm no cappy crisis expert, but the one time I had to solve a similar cluster-eff, it helped get me straightened out when I thought hope was lost.

(I'm assuming you have checked adb and fastboot access already)
[Captivate Android Development] Oxirane:
Being a Vibrant owner, I tried that, along with some other ideas a developer friend I have had.

I think what happened was I installed the wrong boot loader... and Amazon has already shipped the Jig, so I'll just wait for it to arrive. I'll do the Odining GB/Bootloaders idea, and hopefully my friend finds the end product of CM7 to be worth the hassle (I think he will, CM is awesome).

Makelegs, thanks for the suggestions. I think I need to keep working at learning how to use adb, as I realized it doesn't recognize my Vibrant either, so I think I screwed up the installation somewhere... As I said, a jig is in the mail (it's about time I bought one), and I'm very comfortable with Odin, so I'll do that :)

Thank you all for responding and trying to help!
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
I will also take this opportunity to suggest that people really stop flashing JF6. There's no need to ever do it, and if you happen to flash a package with bootloaders you might lose your three button combo. With all the GB packages with custom CWM kernels included and the official KK4 release, I think it's high time to dump JF6.

I tried finding a reference to this issue somewhere without success, so I hope I'm not mentioning something that has already been talked about.

During a call, if dialer rotation is activated, the buttons like "bluetooth" and "end call" will overlay on top of the dialer, making the pressing of numbers for navigating through call center menus impossible.

I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like.

Any input on this?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
How are your battery lives with the kangs?
[Captivate Android Development] Sublim3_Tilt:
Ill start with my battery life is great with skanky kang!

Second I wanted to ask if the TV-Out bug with the Glitch Kernal was ever resolved?

Lastly, even before I went rom nightlies to kang, i had been running a nightly for well over two weeks and randomly started having a problem with my Cappy shutting off (not powering down but instantly turning off). Figured ide flash skanky kang anyways and it reduced the amout of times it did this but still does so at least 5 times a day. Ive tried whiping cache and delvik cache but no luck, been to lazy to nuke it clean and start from scratch, just wondering if anyone else had this issue before?
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Your next option is to try a system only wipe and reflash ROM (I call that a semi-nuke). If that doesn't work, then you would have to nuke in order to narrow it down to the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Help?

I just did something really stupid (even for me).

After successfully flashing the latest Kang and confirming that it worked, I also switched to the Glitch 13.1 and confirm that it worked.

Now we get into the stupid part...

I have always used Launcher Pro and it has always FC'd on start-up with any CM build. I decided to look at the "stock" launcher and so froze Launcher Pro in Titanium back up. Well as soon as I exited TB it went to a black screen with the status bar on top. Next I tried to reboot and am stuck on the Glitch Startup screen.

My guess is that I at some point either froze or removed the "stock" launcher and now my phone basically doesn't have one.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking if I could boot straight into recovery I could restore from my latest nandroid (a CM nightly I backed up just prior to the Kang flash) but can't remember the key combo to get into recovery.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: OK I figured out how to get into recovery mode and am currently running the restore. Fingers crossed.
[Captivate Android Development] fatbas202:
Just reflash Kang and then Glitch. It should put your stock launcher back on and make it default. I've been using Launcher Pro for almost a year including stock ROMs, custom ROMs based off of stock, CM7, and CM7 Kang and I've had no problems at all. Might want to try to clear the data for that particular app.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Next time you wanna switch browsers, just clear defaults on whatever you're using and hit browser. It will then ask you which you prefer to use.

Are there any settings that will optimize my battery life? I'm losing 6% an hour on idle
[Captivate Android Development] zeropants:
Off the charger since 7 AM, it's almost 10 PM in my time zone...I'm sitting at 65%. Not to say that's normal on heavy usage, I've only been on my phone a little today, but I rarely plug in at night with less than 40% left.
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
I realized if you turn off auto rotation it gets a lot better
[Captivate Android Development] lownox:
Successful build last night. This week I will work on cherry picking as I haven't done any of that yet.

Build took a while... I was a bit surprised. My machine took like three hours. lol

If I can get the cherry picking down pat, I will write a how-to. Of course I may need one to figure out out. Lol... That damn chicken and her egg. :)
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Sweet!

It looks like cherry picking is way easier than I thought! I just had to make it hard in my head and mess me up.

If you go to gerrit and find a cherry you want there is a tab that has the code for the pick, then you need to cd into the folder. eg: if the project is CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base then you cd into your framework/base folder, and paste in the cherry pick git code.

Super duper easy. I think that there is a git command to revert to the head and remove the cherry pick, but I can't remember it off hand. You can also delete the folder you cherry picked into and repo sync again and that will also clear it (just not as pretty lol).
[Captivate Android Development] Oxirane:
My friend tells me they experience a loud beep whenever a call connects. Is this a bug? If not, how does one disable this? Thanks all.
[Captivate Android Development] pkadavid:
If you want to keep all the features activated and not have to worry so much about battery life, check this out:

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328626274&sr=1-5

I bought this last week, and even though I'm not through the 5 break-in cycles yet, I'm getting great batter life. At this point, our batteries may be old enough to not hold a full charge anymore. These replacements are higher capacity but the same size. Plus, you get two of them along with a charger for $20, meaning on flights, etc. you have a backup.

No, I'm not a rep for this company. I just really like the product.

Check under settings/call settings. There's an option to vibrate when a call connects. Maybe that's what's causing it.

Is the beep only in the earpiece or through the speaker?

If I update to the latest Kang does it wipe my phone
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Nope. Flash away. (assuming you're already on cm7)

I'm running the latest skanky Kang (Feb 5), and I've been having a new issue. When I push the power button to put my phone to sleep, sometimes the OS will "hang" on whatever screen was on last. It will still turn off the display, but it won't be locked. The display is unresponsive, no touch works, the volume keys don't work, etc.

While this is going on, my device is getting warmer. Something is obviously still running.

I tried wiping cache, wiping dalvic, and fixing permissions. Still have the problem. I can reboot with three button combo most of the time, but I've had to pull battery a couple of times.

Is there a log I can check/send to help troubleshoot the issue?
[Captivate Android Development] NamDark:
I have the same issue with that build, figured out that a screen rotation will "snap" the phone out of it. Long pressing my search key opens messaging. Doing this while hold the phone at 90° or 270° will undo whatever is stuck.
[Captivate Android Development] lownox:
You weren't kidding. Totally easy!

I am building cherry-topped CM 7 for my son's Nexus S 4g.

Thanks. Anyone want my cherry-less Captivate build? It's just a regular build... Nothing added.

God Bless all the developers.
[Captivate Android Development] belyle:
I'm running the new latest skanky Kang, and have not experienced this issue again. Whatever you did, makelegs, it seems to have worked.

A noob question guys, if i flash the latest KANG, would i have to flash another glitch kernel too..? Or will it retain the one i have now..?
[Captivate Android Development] taylor.fowler:
You have to re-flash the kernel anytime you flash a new CM7 ROM (nightly, kang or otherwise).
[Captivate Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Thanks for the confirmation! Now all.i have to do is find where the kernel zip file that im currently using is then i can flash this. :D
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Done and all working fine...although I am not sure what I was looking for as changes, except for the nice boot animation lol
[Captivate Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
+1.. that was my question too.. lol.. nice boot animation btw.. anyway, flashed the latest KANG, flashed Glitch V12ML.. and all my apps are still here and working fine! I did have wifi dropouts on the previous CM that I had, hoping this one's better, it's driving me nuts! Anyway thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Guess is the OP stuff which is mostly invisible for me at least since I am using a different theme. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Essentially, that is my understanding. Samsung put the /data/data partition onto slower (but larger) storage which is part of the lag issue their ROMs have. CM put a /datadata partition into the faster (and smaller) storage area and symlinked /data/data to it. For people who want a larger /data/data partition and don't mind it running a little slower, the symlink can be removed. For better information, I think that Kaik or Atinm posted more details about it in the main nightly thread awhile ago.
[Captivate Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Ok so the latest KANG (7.2) seems to have fixed my wifi issues after a few hours of testing.. nice! Thanks guys!

Guys is there anyway to mount External SD to external_sd folder like MiUi and other roms?

thank you
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
For what purpose? I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just curious why it's something people care about.
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
Less effort to get to the files in file manager or something would be my guess.
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
if i recall correctly you even wrote me a init.d script to link the directories in the CM7 nightly thread?

as i explained there i use a program iSyncr to sync my music to iTunes now you can NOT give this program an abs. path, it starts from /mnt/sdcard/ ......

so i cant sync with External_SD anymore :(

Thank you,
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
You're right, I did. I don't know about makelegs, but I want to stay close to CM7 nightlies, so I won't put it in a ROM. If you mount it as USB storage, open up itunes, you can drag and drop songs onto your external SD. You don't have to use isyncr.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Not my cup of tea, either... I'm just a #kangbanger throwing in the very occasional UI tweak. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
thats true, but with iSyncr u can do it without connecting to PC. i might go back to your script (if i can find it) i could never get it to run on boot :(
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
I have been trying to find info, and it seems scattered. Trying to learn a bit more, too.

I am guessing you cherry picked something to fix this error:

make: *** [out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/core_intermediates/noproguard.classes-with-local.dex] Error 143
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [out/target/product/captivatemtd/obj/APPS/Androidian_intermediates/package.apk] Error 143

but, I can't find what it is. I could probably pull it out of an older build that I have saved, but I would prefer going forward, and learn the cherry pick process.
