I haven't played with the I/O scheduler much so I'm just curious what in your opinion is the best setting and why if that's cool? Last time I played with that my phone froze up. I haven't seen it discussed anywhere is why I ask. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Ben74:
Works well for me

i'm running build 8, and am finding it quite usable. i initially had a problem flashing the rom. i got the "status 7" error message in cwm when attempting to flash the zip. however, flashing back to stock with odin cleared things up. this is a known cyanogenmod issue.

thanks for team hacksung for their work!
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
I think its been pretty well established that NOOP is in fact the best performing scheduler.

Oh my gosh....I can't believe I never saw this until now....good thing there was a picture attached!!! I need to get the ol'eyes checked!!! Thanks for pointing out the 'galaxy S settings'...feels like I just found out a whole new menu! HA!

Anyone else having weird graphics bugs? I'm on Build 7 right now and I bought Backstab HD a couple days ago. When I went to go play it, I noticed that much of the scenery isn't rendering at all. Half of it looks ok and the other half is completely blank. And some of the stuff that does render, kind of ghosts, but not quite. It's that trailing effect thing like when your desktop freezes and then your mouse leaves a trail everywhere it goes. All of the characters/sprites render fine and it seems like the framerate is ok (I don't notice any stuttering), but the rest looked so awful I just shut the game off. I haven't had a chance to flash to a Gingerbread ROM and give it a shot to see if that fixes the problem, but I think that there have been reports that the game should play fine on the Cappy. Let me know what you think.
[Captivate Android Development] galakanokis:
Finally got around to flashing build 8, very nice, snappy and smooth.

I noticed that I cannot get pimpmycpu to work, crashes the phone. Worked fine on build 7.1,different kernel? Voltage Control does work but does it load profiles depending on battery level or screen state?
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
Try SetCPU.
[Captivate Android Development] devi59:
Well, had another crash that I'll have to wipe and start over AGAIN. I didn't use the phone much over the past 24 or more hours because I was catching up on sleep (I work graveyards and it's hard to find time to sleep with 2 kids running around the house). It seemed like I wasn't getting any notifications or texts or anything during this time (normally I get quite a few) and then I tried to send a message just now at work to a buddy and Messaging FC on me. I tried a few other programs and they all FC. I did a reboot to recovery and tried wiping cache/dalvik to see if it helped and now I'm just stuck on a bootloop. I've had this same thing happen before if I don't use the phone for an extended period of time and things FC on me then I get stuck in this bootloop. I've never had this problem before on CM7 and I think it might be hard for others to replicate the issue to confirm it is some sort of bug, but I would assume it has to do with the /datadata being full or something to that sort because I had a permanent Low Phone Storage message even though I had well over 1 gig of free space on my phone (plus a 16 gig external that has well over 12 gigs free.) I know I have quite a few apps installed (well over 30) that I think must be screwing the phone up somehow. I guess I'll have to start using App2SD or something with all my apps to help alleviate the problem of having /datadata so full.

tl, dr: Basically if I use the phone a lot and keep up on cache clearing I don't have any problems, it's only if I don't use it for a long time that I have to do a full wipe and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] yguns76:
Agreed, this should be noted on 1st page. Running build 8 now. Audio recording works.

[Captivate Android Development] Tweak4fun:
What an awesome early morning surprise! Hmmmm...flash this or iron clothes for work? Friggin responsibilities! :)

Thanks for the hard work guys!
[Captivate Android Development] devi59:
Of course right after I reflash build 8. Oh well. Any major improvements on the changelog?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Thanks pawitp. Is there a change log around?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Updated first post with Build 9.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
so far so good. Batch restore in Titanium Backup worked without getting the low memory error. Much improved!

[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
I think I'm a little late to the party with this answer but you can control brightness by turning off auto in display settings then you just hold your finger on the drop down bar until it shows up then slide your finger left or right for control. This was possible in froyo and gingerbread. I haven't tried any of the ICS builds but I'm pretty sure its an android thing and too cool of a feature to give up. It's just a little unknown.
[Captivate Android Development] pawitp:
It's a Samsung (and later CM) addition, not yet available.
[Captivate Android Development] moswen:
Just updated to build 9, I am having a problem with the calendar, calendar is not syncing and does not appear in settings-account-sync, also calendar is crashing when entering settings. First time I gave had sync issues since build 6. Thanks for all your hard work developing ICS for us.
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
And of course now the build 8 fix isn't necessary :)

Thanks to the dev team for all their hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] jeet49:
Build 9 is on. So far it looks great. Thanks for all your efforts.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
Flashed build 9 over build 8 and FWIW It looks like I have a bit more available RAM than before. Could be placebo though.
[Captivate Android Development] everest.deth:
Updated the FAQ with some additionals concerns I've noticed, and some updates based on the latest builds. Please let me know what you guys think.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Just an FYI...I flashed builed 9 after a full wipe and was unable to install some market apps (received APPNAME could not be installed due to an error). Wouldn't even try to download.

After some research, I deleted my google account and opened market and let it force me to set the account backup. All is well now.
[Captivate Android Development] MentalDragon:
Signal Bars

I am on build 9. Just notice that my signal bars dont show any signal but I have signal. I am able to download and search the web. Is anyone else noticing this, or is it just me?
[Captivate Android Development] ronii1123:
Any noticeable difference in battery life in Build 9? (I'm sure this must be getting annoying, I'm sure this get's asked with every build XP)

EDIT: I'm gonna flash either way :3 Off to stock I go
[Captivate Android Development] xiaoali:
That's very informative! I am curious though, how well does the map and navigation work?
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Can i remove the appended ",adb" from this and run the command under su from a terminal emulator? I flash at work and don't have access to adb there.

Also, is it possible to backup data usage stats thorugh tibu? I'm on unlimited but would like to keep an eye on my mobile data usage in the case that one day I am not.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
new market if anybody wants to grab it or maybe want to repackage and post

not sure if it's been posted yet

i can confirm it works with build 8

http://phandroid.com/2011/12/14/dow...out-users-reporting-great-speed-enhancements/
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
I am sure I already know the answer but I will ask anyway.

When I last tried this...

(build 3)

There was little if any "CM" stuff in it.

Is this still pretty much AOSP?

I haven't seen anything in the changelog to say any different but I am anxious to see this with some CM goodness.
[Captivate Android Development] speedy_11:
For the lack of cm features, here is a direct comment form the cm blog “Google did a great job with ICS and added some really awesome features which in some cases replace or deprecate functionality that we had in CM7, so we are reevaluating all of our customizations” the rest of the post can be found here
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
Once the ICS source for the Nexus S is released, development can really take off. Right now we're in pre-alpha mode since major features are still broken.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
went from B8 to B9 and lost all gapps. just had to reinstall the v5.1 Gapps and login. didnt loose any apps other than gapps.
[Captivate Android Development] kjdoug:
The new market works great....super fast!
[Captivate Android Development] alb3rt018:
every time you flash a new build you must flash gapps
[Captivate Android Development] wildnux:
You should just use the whole command starting from setprop to ,adb included.

It says to use those profiles. And you will need both profiles. (Don't you ? :p )

I think you could just leave ur data partition untouched and the data usage stats should be there untouched. You could also restore data only for system app, that shows data usage using tibu (but I don't think it will be a good idea to do so unless u r sure that it won't cause any problems. When the devs say to wipe the partition it usually causes problems if u restore the data for system apps)

Correct me if I am wrong on the second answer here.

Sent from my magical wand!
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
ah, never had that happen with CM7. no probs.
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
CM7 had a script in the installer that reinstalled gapps automatically. These ICS builds don't have that because the gapps version isn't final.
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:

[Captivate Android Development] iluretar:
just installed build 9 and i feel it smoother than 8 but contacts fc as soon as i type one number on the dialer while using t9 both portrait and landscape
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Thanks, I didn't realize the last part of the string was a list of usb profiles. That explains why i lose MTP and camera with that command (which i dont care about). I had for some reason thought the adb was related to executing the command via adb. Knowing is half the battle!

As far as the data stats go, the issue is that I typically do a full wipe between builds. I didn't with CM7 nightlies, but in this instance is seems to make for a cleaner, snappier install. But alas restoring system app data is risky, but you can get away with it in some cases (ie - SMS history). Problem is I don't know what system app these stats are stored under.

TiBu, which I'll admit is a bit of an enigma to me, seems to have the ability to cherry pick parts of system data for backup and restore (like wifi settings, BT pairings, etc...items that appear green in TiBu). Those tend to restore just fine in most cases. Perhaps it's just an issue of getting the tibu devs to add data stats as one of the picks.
[Captivate Android Development] everest.deth:
Try stock clocks for a while, if you don't get any random reboots then you will know what the problem is ;)
[Captivate Android Development] panda703:
Can't replicate this on my phone

[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
I flashed build 9 over cm7 and everything seems to be working fine except that my phone turns off sometimes.. It just turned off as i am doing this post.. Is this a bug on the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] spacecase-25:
Contrary to what your FAQ says, I think there is a very real RAM bug. My captivate (others have reported similar experiences too) will start up with about 186 MB free memory, but quickly drop to 0kb. It gets to the point where opening an app and going straight back to the launcher requires a reload and even worse, the keyboard and browser can't be held in memory at the same time.
[Captivate Android Development] Saint Wacko:
So I know there were a lot of complaints about build 8, which caused me not to flash to it. Is the consensus that going from build 7.1 to build 9 is a definite upgrade in terms of speed and lack-of-bugginess?
[Captivate Android Development] speedy_11:
Theirs a new build of trebuchet, allows you to pick number of home screens and a few other added features.

nebkat's site: http://77.68.69.51/~nebkat/
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
yes. I was on 7.1 and this is much improved.

[Captivate Android Development] Saint Wacko:

happened to me too. I did another wipe/ install and no more reboots so far

Youtube issue

i've notice since i first flashed this i think it was b3 that when i rotate on the youtube app it gets messed up a bit, it only happens until the video starts playing which i guess for most people is instant and may not even happen, but for people like me with crappy internet it can be quite some time, i've looked for it but didn't find any reference to it so sorry if it's been said before, here's how it looks sorry for the bad pic but only have a crappy camera and the screenshot didn't show the issue only a black screen
[Captivate Android Development] Saint Wacko:
I've noticed that before with the camera app. I think ICS has a special screen rotate animation, and while an app is initializing, it kinda gets stuck in the animation.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
its a known issue that will be fixed when Nexus S source drops.
[Captivate Android Development] iluretar:
Just installed it and beside the new features it's runnig quite smoother than before
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
I've noticed two things (both in 8 and now in 9):

1) The phone is always very warm to the touch. It used to be I could pick up the phone and it would be cold to the touch, but now it's almost always warm.

2) The battery life on 9 isn't great so far. I'll try re-calibrating, but I have a feeling something is running that's not letting the phone sleep. Any suggestions on what I can run that shows what's still active while the screen is off? I assume whatever thing(s) are running are causing the warm issue as well.
[Captivate Android Development] iluretar:
you can go to settings->developer options and check the show cpu usage and see if theres a process keeping the cpu up
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
I've looked at that before...not sure how to read it. It seems like that shows you what's using CPU while on, but I'm wondering what's running while off.

CPU Spy and/or OS Monitor

gapps with today's google market 3.4.4 update

Kaik541 will probably update gapps to v6 10 minutes after I post this, but until then, I integrated today's vending 3.4.4 update into gappsv5.1.zip for easier update flashing. Download it here: gappsv5.1.1_vending_3.4.4_update.zip (md5sum: e07a0d5413b86e98a121112f90ca964c)

The new market definitely feels snappier...
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Oops: gapps v5.3

md5sum: e7d69d98a633b646e4f14e6a43208e66

edit: forgot to add, if you flash this immediately after build 9 instead of 5.1, you no longer replace the compiled keyboard with the google keyboard... this should hopefully remedy the "slow keyboard" issues that keep popping up here and there as it's no longer a prebuilt one meant for the galaxy nexus.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:

[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
Did you flash gapps?
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
Yep
[Captivate Android Development] codeblue315:
Ok, I'm sorry if this has been answered before, I couldn't find it throughout this thread. Should I reflash build 9 before flashing the new gapps, or just go ahead and flash the new gapps version. I've already flashed build 9 along with gapps v5.1, didn't know if flashing a different gapps version would break anything if I didn't reflash the ROM. Thanks!

It really doesnt answer your question, but, I am probably going to flash 5.3 when I get home from work tonight(Unless someone else tries it, and has issues).

The best bet it to Nandroid backup, and try it. If it works, GREAT, if not , you have a backup
[Captivate Android Development] CougarBroker:
When are we going to have Trebuchet integrated into this ROM, I am having a hades of a time installing it.

mmmmmmm ICS
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
You can flash the gapps 5.3 over. It won't break anything, at least it did not for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
trebuchet is already included. we only include the parts that are already merged at the time of build, we do not cherry-pick things that aren't completely necessary.
[Captivate Android Development] CougarBroker:
but it doesn't have the cool stuff, like ability to add home screens, I need 7 :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
like I said, we only include the stuff that is merged at the time of building. if you want to see what's merged and what's under review, use gerrit.

[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
If you want the newest version then just download it and replace the launcher2 apk it the system/app folder berfore you flash. That's what I did before flashing it to my Captivate. The newest version was posted here not too long ago so I'm sure you can find it.
[Captivate Android Development] CougarBroker:
Thanks Kaik!

I installed the new Trebuchet normally and it was fine... just do it like you're installing any other APK.

It didn't persist through a reboot for me. I had to push it to system/app and overwrite the other one.

I can confirm if you push it into system/app, it sticks.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I've been running the teamhacksung version since they opened the thread. I have little to no issues that impact me at all. Video recording doesn't work(I don't care). GPS is as good as any custom ROM I've used. There is no Flash support(for any ICS ROM right now). WiFi works perfectly, My Jabra BT headset works great, although I've been told that the audio quality on the other end is not too good. Probably need to take a look at some different modems(The CM7/Miui modems work)

I do have one issue that has a easy fix. As time goes by my Gallery will double, and then triple the amount of items. My Wallpaper folder really has 170 items in it. It'll end up with 240, and then 410, all I do is remove my ext SD, go to settings/apps/All Apps/Media Storage and clear cache, reboot, and reinsert the ext sd

All in all, it is a GREAT ROM. Pretty quick, smooth. The dev's have done an amazing job with it, and it just keeps getting better
[Captivate Android Development] revolvingdoorslammer:

[Captivate Android Development] color0:
For me, 7.1 is good enough to be a daily driver... 8 and 9 are painfully slow and laggy. I've tried flashing the compatible parts of pikachu's Thunderbolt scripts (including the EXT4 remounts, CFS settings, zipalign and sqlite optimization) but it's clear to me that those parts are not sufficient to deal with the lag -- it's something else inside the ROM and even 7.1 lags a little bit (just significantly less than 8 and 9).

Interestingly, the Trebuchet launcher lags the least when using the "Phase Beam" live wallpaper. It lags a heck of a lot more on the stock TeamHacksung wallpaper or any static wallpaper, for that matter.
[Captivate Android Development] Maddreg:
I've noticed that this ICS rom (I am currently using build 8) doesn't see ADHOC wireless networks. Tried to replace wpa_supplicant file with one I used for other GB roms, but unfortunately it just corrupted WIFI work. Is there a way to make ICS see ADHOC networks?

Honestly saying I don't understand why Google don't add such feature by default
