Modems

What is the best way to flash a different modem on this rom and which one would you suggest for Toronto, Canada?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
You'll want to use a modem designed for CM7/Miui. Download the modem, Copy it to your device, reboot into recovery, install zip/choose zip to install/select the modem/confirm/reboot. To check if it installed properly, go to settings/about phone/ and check your Baseband version, for example mine is I9000UGJK4

As far as what will work beat for your area, you'll just have to try a few to see what gives you best reception/data speeds. From the map, someone said they had best luck with the KC1 modem

On average do you folks find that most apps work or no? I moved to build 8, then upgraded to build 9, and find that ~80% of the apps I used on CM7 simply force close. I assumed it was probably that most apps just weren't updated to work with ICS. With the nexus being released today, I'd think more apps would be ready for it.

Apps I'm having issue with (incomplete list):

Tasker

Google voice

Google Music

Amazonmp3

Words with friends

You want to only use the modems listed on this page http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html

They are for CM7/Miui/ICS, use the i9000, they are built for the i9000 base that ICS is built on. The i897 modems will take advantage of the audience chip that is not supported in i9000 roms, and DOES take advantage of HSUPA

I saw that "video acceleration" was one of the features missing in the ported version of ICS. I've tried using Dice Player which was successful in CM7 to properly watch 720p videos but fails to work in CM9.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwonderllama:
So, this is a general Q&A thread... here goes!

I flashed my cappy from CM7 up to the ICS BUILD9. After a couple of hiccups, I got most everything ironed out.

The big problems (on my captivate) are:

1) "Back" and "Search" buttons aren't recognized at all (even in CWM's "Keycode Test")

2) "Home" key acts like the "back" button. I have no capacitive button that will pull up the task switcher.

3) Some sounds don't work; alarms are ok, but tap-feedback & music don't produce sound

I tried designgears' ICS kernel here: http: // goo.gl/sr7mQ (sorry.. this is my first post, so no links =\ )

It cleared up the button and sound problems, but the wifi doesn't work.

So, am I doing something wrong? Any clues on how to fix the issues I'm having?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
One thing to try is just reflashing the ics b9 agaon right over the top of it again. I have seen this happen on occasion and flashing right over it without any further wipes helped.

2 make sure you picked the captivate version and not the i9000 version.

3. I am not sure here but i think DGs kernel is for the other ics port and i would assume the TeamHacksung made their own changes for b9.

Thanks for the suggestions, RockRat. You hit the nail on the head with #2. I guess a combination of too many tabs and flashing your phone at 4am is bound to cause problems.

I had flashed the i9000 build9 onto my captivate. I wasn't having any luck reverting to a captivatemtd build (kept getting buildprop errors), but luckily I had actually followed instructions and made a nandroid backup. The restore didn't go completely well, but well enough to let me flash the correct Captivatemtd build9.

Interestingly, it came up w/ no baseband info. I had to go back and reflash the radio. Now things seem fine.

Thanks again!

Does anyone else use the option Settings-->Developer options-->Kill app back button?

I use this pretty frequently but found it also kills my launcher. Even with my launcher set as the default it's killing it if I'm not careful how long I press the back button or how often. This causes an annoying delay waiting for it to reload.

Is this intentional behavior? I would think it wouldn't touch the launcher.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pqee:
I might be wrong but I'm almost certain that CM7 didn't behave this way. If you had no default launcher defined then it would kill anything. If a default launcher was defined, it would kill anything other than the launcher. Holding back while on your launcher did nothing.

I posted in the CM7 Q&A forum to find out so I don't have to reflash. I'm lazy that way.

Edit: Turns out I was wrong. Damn. The option would be so much more useful if it didn't touch the launcher. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razzman:
I use it to and yes it kills the launcher about 50% of the time. Not a big deal as it comes right back, the benefits far out weigh that little inconvenience IMO.

I'm sorry if this a noob question, but I've only ever flashed this phone once before. I was on CM7 and I installed build 16 of this ROM. I did wipe data and cache before installing. I then installed the google apps and rebooted. The welcome to SGH-I897, touch the android to begin screen came up but when I clicked it it says "Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped". So I rebooted into recovery and installed the google apps fixer and rebooted and the same thing happened. I can't even get past it, and I don't know what to do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Try going to recovery and flashing the complete rom again, then before rebooting flash the gapps package also. Then reboot. Sometime it takes two flashes to get everything working as it should.

I tried it a few times installing the ROM then Gapps then rebooting and I even tried installing the ROM,Gapps and Gapps fix all before reboot and I get the same thing. I have a pic of my screen right before I reboot, but I can't post it up.

When you say sdcard, are you saying it as the removable sdcard (emmc) or are you saying sdcard as in the 16Gb (11Gb usable usually)? I would put them kn your sdcard (NOT the removable one) to be safe. I have flashed things from my removable sdcard but normally dont try it that way. One less thing to go wrong.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Ok next question, wbat version of gapps are you trying to use? There is a NEW gapps from february 15th for ics. Maybe try that one. You can download it via rom manager, then go into cwm and go to clockworkmod and keep following it until you see where the newest gapps was downloaded to, then flash that one. Also what I would do is this, go to cwm after the newest gapps has downloaded, then wipe data/factory reset, flash the ics build, then flash the newest gapps before rebooting. Make sure you have backed up all your apps via titanium backup so you can restore USER APPS ONLY. Once you get everything up and running correctly you can then use titanium backup to restore anh NEEDED USER DATA associated with the apps. No system apps for sure. This is what I would try at least. Hope you get it figured out.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Glad you got it working, the gapps you were trying to use was for gingerbread/CM7 Gapps. Also even with rom manager free you should be able to download gapps. The only things that you cannot do is things like CM7 with the free version of rom manager. Just looked and there are four roms that are in premium and gapps and alot of other roms/items are in the free section so you can always grab them from there.

This is because you don't have GB BL's
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClownTrigger:
On build 15 and 16, my phone won't charge while in car mode in the car dock. It goes into car mode just fine, audio reroutes fine, just won't charge. If I plug the charger directly into the phone, it charges. The dock is fine because it used to work before I switched from stock GB. If you look at a micro USB plug closely, the power pins come into contact with their mating pins in the phone before the data/ID pins do (by design) and interestingly, if I engage the plug on the car dock slowly enough, so that the power pins engage but not the data/ID pins, it will charge, and if I continue to engage the connector, it will continue charging but never go into car mode. Anybody else have this issue?

Also, my audio out clips when playing back some songs. It's most apparrent with Pandora, but also happens with Google music, and Spotify. Adjusting the preamp level in voodoo controls or turning down the system volume have no effect. It's like the audio is clipped before it even makes it to the DAC. It happens on both the headphone jack and the USB port in car dock mode, regardless of what's plugged in.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singlebeam:
From what I've gathered, I had a feeling that was the case.

You didn't really answer my question, though. I'm guessing you see the bootanimation as a result of having GB BL's?

Not a huge deal to see the animation but my crazy OCD bothers me when everything isn't quite working as intended, even if it's fully functional.

Also, may I ask for a suggestion on an Odin/Heimdall package to use for flashing stock gingerbread? I understand that any one of them (IlluminatedOne's thread) will give me GB BL's and that it doesn't really matter which one I use. I'm just looking for a replacement for my JF6 package I've been using since September of 2010.

My geek tendencies urge me to use the latest KK4 package though the CWM kernel options seem kind of shaky. As far as I can tell, the CORN kernels are the only KK4 ones around for our device and there are many variations...looks like they work for some, and not others. I'd like a rock-solid process I can count on as a replacement for DG's JF6 package.

EDIT: Just a fair warning, if you were like me, i used to master clear while using the JF6 package religiously. Master clearing with JF6 will not work. As others have mentioned in other threads, formatting /data, /system, /datadata etc (except EMMC!!) in CWM will serve as the same function

I never master clear...my internal SD doesn't need to be touched and if I feel uncomfortable I can simply delete everything but my own folders I use for storage.

Excessive Battery Usage by Google Services

I have been trying out ICS for a few weeks now and have to say it has been a better experience on the whole than CM7. I get better battery life and it has been a smother rom. However, every two weeks, on the dot, Google Services starts to act weird and use about 10x the normal battery use. I have not been able to figure out what causes this and the only solution I have found is reflashing the rom after whipping the cache.

Speedmod kernel was ONLY used back in the day so you could install cm7. Once you flasb cm7 it puts a cm7 kernel in place of it.

So Yes you can go from cm7 to cm9 without dojng anything special. Put it on your sdcard, go into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, flash cm9 and do not reboot, then flasb it a second time to be sure it all works and do not reboot, then flash the newest gapps (don't use the same gapps from cm7) so make sure it on your sdcard also. Then reboot system and wait for the first bootup and be patient as it may take a little while for it the first time. Good luck.
