Just want to start of with: Awesome ROM, completely revived by Cappy, was looking for a new phone, not any more.

Quick question, for anyone using their phone to play music in the car via bluetooth, the time elapsed for each song displayed on the headunit does not work properly. Not sure if it's the headunit or the phone, but the time just keeps counting 0...1...2...0....1...0...1...2...3..0..1 etc etc...

Does this happen to anyone else (if not, must be my headunit), or possibly a bug in CM9?

I upgraded to the galaxy s ii recently and I actually miss all the settings that come with CM9 :(

At least I finally got ICS on my S II

I'm back to using my captivate in my car as a GPS since i have the car dock for it, but can't connect to my S II via wifi, but my laptop does work.

Is anyone else having issues connecting their captivate via a wifi connection?

My captivate is running CM9 build 17.

I have to say [knock on wood] i've had great success with this rom, and many of the nightlys. I had an issues with gmail and sync [i guess that was it] a week or more ago, i wiped, wiped, and re-wiped, and cleared all kinds of cache, and flashed and re-flashed. and sync is working again.

I've had issues with 'low memory or space' and i guess i need 80 or more percent free space on my internal memory? I spent some time moving almost every thing i could to the ext SD [which is now 80 to 90 percent full] and everything seems to working like a dream, i've only had to flash the last several nightlys and all is well

Hi peepz:

I'm looking for the easiest way to have my cake and eat too. I have CM9 nightlies installed and working well. I keep a nandroid backup of the previous and current release. This is a repost from the ROM furum.

I would also like to have GINGERBREAD nandroid backup configured so I can restore whichever on the fly via ROM mgr or str8 CWM.

While I'm not new to flashing, I have a few questions:

1 - How does this statement effect having a backup of CM7 & 9 and switching between the two?

2- Both ROMS will use the same bootloader (the ATT GB one), so switching roms should be nothing more than just a restoring the backup?

3- creating the GB backup will probably take ODIN/Heimdall back to stock with the att GB boatloader or can i just flash CM7 twice (refering to the OP note)?

4- issues others have ran into previously would be nice.

The end result, is to have ICS as my daily but be able to easlily swicth to GB to be able to use the TV Out function with apps like Nteflix & Hulu.

If you considered this clutter please PM but thought this could spawn a good discussion. Thx for thinking.

Issue With Nightlies

I have been running Build 17 for about a month now and I love it, but figured I would upgrade the latest nightly. I downloaded the 4/22 nightly and the latest Google Apps zip. When I flashed them via recovery, the installation would abort saying there was an error with the zip file. The only thing I did that wasn't mentioned in the instructions was wipe data and cache. I tried again with the 4/19 nightly and got the same error.

To make matters worse, when I tried to flash my Build 17 backup, it just stayed on the opening screen (not ATT, the one with all the colors) for over 90 minutes. I finally pulled the battery and tried again and the second time it worked, but none of my Google Apps would worke. They would all force close.

Thankfully, I can easily flash back to my CM7 backup, but now that I'm used to ICS, I don't care for CM7. I'm working to flash back to ICS, but is there something I need to do differently to get the nightlies to work?

Yes, actually [amazingly] did not hit the reset button when that screen came up.

researched the issue [thanks xda] found i was able to reboot to recovery from that screen, and fairly methodically followed those instructions. To no avail.:(

I got a couple of errors in recovery a long one i couldn't fully read said ums, which i think is part of some of the discussion of this problem. [ums vs mtd right?]

I've got my phone back up and running, fortunately i had a large 32g sd available, and it seems to be doing OK for now.

The storage is a little weird, but seems OK..

I would like to get back the original partition, but...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyciz:
Not to beat a dead horse...

I understand on Cappy's (w. stock kernel)the default storage is as follows:

32 GB microsd = /mnt/emmc = /emmc

Internal 16 GB = /mnt/sdcard = /sdcard

When I check totals of Storage in Settings I see:

Internal Storage = 1.85 GB

USB Storage = 13.43 GB

SD Card = 29.71 GB

pressing menu brings up "storage Configuration", which has just a checked checkbox called "use internal storage".

So if I uncheck the "use internal storage", that would switch "USB Storage"(16gb) & "SD Card"(external 32gb card)?

The other issue is the "USB Storage = 13.43 GB" shows 1.77 GB Available, but the items listed as used do not add up to the total 13.43 GB. I see the following:

-apps = 4.64 GB

-Pics,Video = 128MB

-Downloads = 832KB

-Available=1.77 GB

that doesnt add up. Any thoughts do I need to copy off the files format the 16gb card(USB Storage)? How do I reclaim that lost space on the 16GB internal card? TIA

i was on build 17, went to slim ics, and then had the same problem trying to get to AOKP build 34. It did the exact same thing. Couldn't install any rom from zip, and then would just loop the boot screen forever.

I tried wiping cache, doing a full system wipe, no dice. Couldn't get phone to boot or install any rom. But, I could get to recovery using the 3 button method. I then tried doing a restore back to when I had build 17, but it wouldn't work either. i was finally able to flash back to CM7 like you and now I'm finally on AOKP build 34.

Hi, I'm thinking about giving CM9 a try, but I'm scared of the encryption problem http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447303. Considering other forms of bricking are avoidable by following the instructions, common sense and not flashing bootloaders, but the encryption bug seems totally random.

This new CM9 feature to have /sdcard as internal seems a good way to reduce the usage of the internal SD and maybe avoid the encryption bug. Do any of you know whether having /sdcard as internal help at avoiding the encryption problem?

thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
/sdcard has always been internal. The new change has nothing to do with how the cards are used, it just swaps their mountpoints to match the Android standard. It's off by default on Galaxy s devices because we are used to it being this way.

There is currently no surefire way of preventing the encryption error. The current theory is that using mass storage instead of default MTP helps prevent it, but I've been fine on MTP forever. Even if you get the error, your phone will be crippled but usable with a workaround. I wouldn't worry about it though.

Bacon reader crashes & stuck at boot animation w/ 0429nightly

//this is more a tale of my experience- I can't claim there are answers included//

the 04/29 nightly (no modifications) had been rock solid for a couple of days of heavy usage, so I had gone on and loaded ALL the apps i've ever touched. got the out of memory error even after moving the majority to SD, but it was still solid.

Then last night while using baconreader- the app FC'd. no worries. then another app FC'd, then another. until the phone was non-functioning. No problem, I'll just reboot. couldn't get that menu to come up- so I pulled the battery. Booted normally.. was able to text and check email normally, but the instant I hit bacon reader- same cascading failure. fine. pulled the battery, rebooted, uninstalled baconreader. rebooted. worked for about 20 minutes before gmail FC'd, then everything else followed one by one.

I didn't want to lose all the account info I'd loaded, or the apps, so I tried just wiping the cache. didn't help. tried wiping the cache and the Dalvik cache. didn't help and got an error about mnt sd-ext not valid (or something like that).

so I tried booting into recovery, wiping the caches, and reloading the 04/29 nightly zip and google apps.

at which point I started getting stuck in the CM9 boot animation. for hours. pulled the battery tried again, still stuck at the animation. retried, reloaded still stuck. finally, I loaded the 0503 nightly, wiped the user data and the cache and everything...

and I was finally able to boot to a functioning phone. its been fine all day thus far.

but I'm still hesitant to load BaconReader... is that warranted? or should I suck it up and load it?

Was there something else I should have/could have tried?

Stock Kernel?

Hey I've searched all over and I can't find this information.

Is there an odin flashable version of the stock CM9 kernel? I ask because i have been saved so many times by being able to re flash my kernel without having to be in CWM recovery. Also if i want to re flash the stock CM9 kernel i just have to reinstall the CM9.zip from CWM right?

I'm wanting to install the glitch kernel but I was hoping i could have an odin flashable backup since i heard one guy couldn't get back to CWM recovery and was stuck at the boot screen. I'm totally capable of fixing a soft bricked phone but i don't want to have to start all the way over again with a one click.

Thanks a lot for making a great Rom, my phone is running so much better now.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

It likely says no external storage found because you don't have anything stored in the SD card.

Try plugging your phone into a computer and putting something on the phone, like a picture or music or something that your media scanner would recognize.

You said you formated the /sdcard right? you didn't just delete the folder called SDcard, right? if you deleted the folder that would be bad.

Next, check to see if it's an app issue.

After putting some media back on your phone if the stock gallery app still doesn't work try installing a different gallery app from the market like Quickpic(i love Quickpic)

If none of this works it may be a ROM issue, since it's a nightly.

If you are coming from a different CM9 rom my advice would be to do a system restore, assuming you have made a nandroid backup before-hand. (go back to older CM9 ROM, from CWM recovery)

If that doesn't work I would try flashing the normal version of CM9 from CWM recovery to see if it's just an error in the nightly rom.

If this doesn't help you might have to wait till someone much smarter can help you.

I'm almost certain you just need to put some media on your device.
