Corn kernel, why?
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
You use (for example) the corn kernel on stock att roms to get clockworkmod because the 3e recovery doesnt allow any unisgned package. So you install the korn kernel to get cwm to flash ICS.

Anyone know how to rescan media for music? I put a large ammount of music on my phone and I'm having a hard time getting it to show up.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Reboot
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
The corn kernel integrated the ClockWorkMod recovery which allow you to flash any other rom from recovery mode. So follow these step to flash again:

- Back to stock UCKK4 rom.

- Flash Corn Kernel which can find easily in this forum.

- Reboot to recovery mode and install the CM9 rom.

Go to the market and search for them app name SDrescan, there will some apps with same effect but I use this. After update your media data base from SD card or internal storage, run this app (it runs very quick) and your media player will update with the new database.

Thanks

EDIT: Found ICY Glitch and it appears to be installing update now. Holding breath....

EDIT 2: It is happily rebooting into recovery all the time. Still shows I9000 at boot, then the CyanogenMod boot and then into blue recovery over and over.

WiFi issue

I installed this ROM yesterday following factory reset, system format, cache and dalvik cache delete. Everything is fine, the ROM is pretty fast, however, as soon as I turn on WiFi, the WiFi bar is blue for about 2 seconds and turns grey. Simultaneously the signal bar also turns grey and I don't get any connections to Market place or don't have internet connectivity. When I turn my WiFi off, the signal bar turns back to blue and I can connect again. I used to be on FusionICS ROM, and switched when I started to have the low storage problem. I did not have any WiFi or connectivity issues on FusionICS. I tried various flavors of AOKP as well as SlimICS, had the same WiFi issue. Is it modem related? Does anyone have a modem suggestion for Northern Virginia? Could it be something else that needs to be looked into? Thanks in advance for help
[Captivate Android Development] silversleeper:
Not sure why I always stray away from CMx roms, but I do/did. Tried out Infinitum for a while as my daily driver and enjoyed it. After a while things just got slower and slower though, and I'm unsure of the cause of this. I've made several attempts to wipe/format/clear cache/etc with that rom and several others, but it never really helps.

I decided to give CM9 another shot shortly after my frustration set in. Heimdall'ed back to Froyo, bootloaders and all. Jumped to 2.3.5, rooted, CWM injected, and then flashed away with the latest CM9 nightly. Needless to say, I'm very pleased.
[Captivate Android Development] SkyboneNoya:
Did you install any backups through tibu? you'll want to restore apps only, no system data.

If that's all in check and you want to try a different modem, you should see what modem works best for you with the modem location map and make sure you do the modem dance to ensure your bands are all working. This should ensure it's not your modem.

http://soggycashew.weebly.com/modem-dance.html

One other thing, you should make sure if using Juice Defender, that you don't have mobile data or wifi being automatically controlled.

In JD Plus, I know this by scrolling over to "Settings" and right under the tab it says "All connectivity controls are disabled!"

This works best for me as I only use data and enabled it when I need it. WIFI could run into weird issues as stated in the help files there.

Anyway, I'm not sure what version nightly your on but I find 05/19 build to be very stable. Holding off on updating with the 05/23 change log being so small. Always good to hear if its worth upgrading imo. Hope this helps!
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
same story,

been on AOKP since milestone 4, but it began working slower and slower,

yesterday did the same drill, back to stock kk4, factory reset , then flashed latest CM, no problems, except the battery ( 10% a hour, in 8 hours i was at 6%), but i'm pleased :)

i would like to know if there are any changelogs for each nighly (the GalaxyS2 has a changelog, that's why i'm asking)

It's always a good idea to read back a few pages to keep the thread in order, no need for multiple questions of the same nature.
[Captivate Android Development] loudoun83:
@SkyboneNoya - Thanks for your feedback!

Installed backups through TIBU, but only apps. I don't restore data along with it, was burned in the past.

Installed UGKG3 from the above site, checked the modem dance, etc, but still the situation is the same - WiFi turns on blue then turns grey and the signal also goes grey, no internet connection.:confused:

I don't have JuiceDefender now - used to in the pre-GB days, found it consumed more battery than it saved.

I have build 05/21, I can't imagine it is the build.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Make sure you only use TiBU to restore market (or 3rd party) apps, NOT system apps. You should usually be safe restoring app data for market apps also unless you have trouble with the /datadata partition size.

I downloaded the Apollo apk from http://www.seeingpixels.org and it's pretty cool. However, on that page it says, download here or "simply grab the latest CyanogenMod 9 nightly build". I just flashed 20120523 (the latest nightly) and it's not included. Confused.
[Captivate Android Development] wash23:
I believe Apollo is present on the latest nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] J0ESK0:
You believe? :confused:

Heh. On a serious note, I have not seen Apollo on the last 2 nightlies and have had to install it manually and here's why:

The changelog for nightly 20120521 shows this:

The 5/21 nightly removed Apollo and it has not yet been added back. To follow what is changing with CM9, always keep this link handy: CM9 Nightly Captivate Changelog

Went on trip... Found bugs??

I recently went on a trip to North Conway, NH (from Southern Maine). I noticed a few things with my cappy (0517 nightly) that I'm concerned about and not sure if they are bugs for the ROM (I didn't find anything in the OP).

1) When service was sparce, my phone started listing at Unicell and roaming (I don't believe there were any roaming charges though?)... my wife has the same phone on full samsung stock and wasn't roaming at all (same sparse service)

2) I used the GPS to get us to and from there (UGKG3 modem) and I noticed two strange things: One was that the phone used battery faster than the car charger could put it back in. Two was the phone got wicked hot (50C). I've never seen my wife's phone get that hot before. I know GPS sucks a lot of processor, but this seemed excessive... was it?

Has anyone else experienced stuff like this with the ROM?

Thanks!

Yay linux.

Another thing to try, is to disconnect your USB cable and enable "ADB over network" instead to see if it's faster than usb. adb pushing the 100MB+ CM9 zips takes almost 30 seconds over usb for me, and about 5 minutes over wireless.
[Captivate Android Development] loudoun83:
I never restore system apps - I learnt that lesson during Eclair days.

I found what the problem with the WiFi and signal turning off was. I have VoIP system (OOMA Hub) hooked to my combination router/modem (Actiontec). All computers on my network get assigned an IP address in the range 192.168.1.xxx. Ooma's internal setup IP address is 172.27.35.1, and somehow my phone was being assigned a 172.27.35.xx IP address when i turned the WiFi on instead of a 192.168.1.xxx IP address. I had to reconfigure the Ooma hub, and everything is OK now. I get a WiFi lock and steady signal, so am a happy camper:)

Thanks for your suggestions though!
[Captivate Android Development] igorgomez:
I see that the recommendation is not to restore the system applications, but my question is this: Is there any problem in restoring the system information such as data networks wifi, bluetooth pairing and contacts, etc?

Hot charging

After updating to the latest nightly from v17, I noticed a new behavior. After a full night of charging, the phone was quite warm. I used the charger I always use, and there seemed to be no ill effects, but this is a new thing for me.

I wonder if something was keeping the CPU active, but I'm not sure how to check that when it is plugged in.

Use CPU Spy. Some governors sets the CPU to max while the phone is on the charger. I noticed that when it took forever for it to reach full charge while on USB.

My question is how do I get my information from wifi hotspots that are in backup CM7. I did the update to the CM7 CM9 last night. The question is whether I can retrieve this information from CM7 through Tibu, now that I'm CM9. I think the CM7 has no option to back up the wifi data.

Thanks!!

That is a sign that you have an I9000 kernel and not a I897 kernel...
[Captivate Android Development] kublis:
I've noticed that too. One time my battery die on me while using the GPS when it was still charging. Either the GPS drains a lot of battery or/and the car charger is not providing enough juice to keep up with it.

I thought mine was hot because I put it on the dash board in the direct sunlight. That's where I get the best GPS signal. But since yours gets hot too, maybe its the phone itself.

I am not on the latest nightly (I'm on one from late March still) but for what it's worth this has always been something I've noticed with my captivate. Stock Samsung 2.x, FireFly 3, team hacksung and now CM9. If I've got my car charger plugged in and google nav is running for 10+ minutes or so the back of the phone gets really hot and the charge is either stable (no charge, no discharge) or sometimes will even drop very slowly over time.
[Captivate Android Development] cmdrmonkey:
Does anyone know why I would be getting extremely slow speeds when transferring files to my captivate via USB in mass storage mode? I'm only getting around 1.6MB/s. I don't remember it ever being this slow in the past. I am running the latest nightly of CM9 and my Desktop computer has Win 7 64-bit. USB debugging is enabled. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure when this issue began. I just noticed it when I tried to transfer some large video files to watch on a plane during a recent trip.

Transfers are slow to both the phone's internal SD card, and my add-in micro SD card. Strangely, when I pull the micro SD card out and put it in a USB adapter, transfer speeds are normal at around 15MB/s.

Any help would be immensely appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] CptTwinkie:
This has been the case for me for the two years I've had my captivate. Screen + GPS = large power draw

This seems to be common on cm9. I heard it was fixed a while back (either here or through the changelog), and i remember seeing a rash of io commits in the changelog at that time, but it would appear* the problem remains.

I tried to transfer a 700mb movie and getting a transfer of 2.3MB/s here. I'm on the 05/28 version. Never really upload anything to my phone but I feel like it was faster a few builds back.

My download to computer is at 12/13MB/s on usb2.0 port

Interestingly, I just tried a usb3.0 port and got 2/2.15MB transfer to phone, and a range of 13.5/17MB/s to the computer.

There is the cache and temp files now to keep in mind, I assume, but I had to reset the usb connection when it was downloading the movie to the computer in the blink of an eye.

Thanks Guys!

I'm glad I'm not just going crazy thinking I'm seeing something not there. And very good to know that it could just be a cappy issue. Admittedly, I only recently started with the GPS since on previous builds (and SW versions) the GPS was horrible and wouldn't keep a signal long enough to be any good.

I may be getting an SGS II come October, so perhaps it won't be as bad with that one.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
A SGS II in October? Go for the SGS III.
[Captivate Android Development] theyurtingyeti:
I would, but it's a money thing. I can get the SGSII for 50$ now but can't upgrade until Oct. By then it should be even cheaper... plus I'll get 60$ for turning in my cappy.

However, depending on the initial cost of the SGSIII... or perhaps the galaxy nexus, I may deviate from the SGSII.
