You need to actually mount \system as writeable for the changes to stick. Try es file manager if you want an easy graphical way to do it.

Everything is working great for me so far with the M2 build (and semaphore 2.3.0sc). No slowdowns at all.

Edit: Notifications seem to be kinda iffy. I just got notifications for events (gtalk, sms, gmail) that came over the past hour and a half, all at once.
[Captivate Android Development] kevinseto:
Been running M2 for a day now, no issues whatsoever!
[Captivate Android Development] Bozolini:
Just flashed this over M1 and I'm already noticing faster speeds in areas where it lagged just a bit. :D
[Captivate Android Development] suerspud9:
this works! thanks for the tip

[Captivate Android Development] shuyin1102:
After back to stock from CM10, now i cant reflash CM10 anymore because of the new partition layout, cannot mount /data and /system in new CM10 kernel, the above partitions just work with cm9 and stock now, any suggestion is appreciated :crying:
[Captivate Android Development] jonathan413:
I've done that and still changes won't stick
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
Thats very strange. Very little has actually changed in the CM tree for us this week other than translations. Do a backup, try a quick wipe to see if it will work on a fresh install, if not restore your backup. If it does work, then something is obviously wrong with your install. I haven't tried it with the factory CM10 kernel recently, but it seems to still be working with semaphore kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] jonathan413:
If I'm not mistaken I have this problem with all ROMs I flashed..
[Captivate Android Development] uhm:
pawitp,

When I try to use CM10/CM9 after successful flashing of the rom, the screen becomes heavily tinted with dark blue color after the initial boot animation and then stays that way..

I found the following videos on youtube for i897 and i9000 both running CM9 but the same problem exists for CM10 as well:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwMqqMJK7cM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMStfVEOo6c

Would you be kind enough to look into this problem and fix it please if possible? Without that people like me wouldn't be able to enjoy CM9/CM10.

Your help with this issue will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] roger_n:
Hey guys my captivate has been sitting in a draw for about 18 months and I need some help finding a CM10 compatible CWM and a recommend modem. I'm coming from Mosiac 9. I searched without finding anything that worked. When I try to install CM I get the dreaded "Status 7 Aborted" Goo Manger show as not having an open recovery for my phone.

Any Help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Roger
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
I would recommend using the instructions on the first page, (installing for the first time) I wouldn't use goo manager to flash it, just reboot into recovery mode, then follow the OP instructions. :)
[Captivate Android Development] roger_n:
I really appreciate your reply but I should of explained myself a little better. I wasn't using goo manager to install the ROM I was using it to see if I could install an updated Open Recovery (TWRP) for the Captivate. Its a know issue that CM10 will fail with a status 7 when trying to flash with an older recovery. I'm very familiar with the entire custom ROM process and actually build my own ROMs from source. What would help me is if you can point me to the recovery you are using hopefully a flashable zip and a compatible modem/radio.

Thanks For your help.

Roger
[Captivate Android Development] BitteredBro:
@roger_n

Maybe you could try flashing semaphore or devil kernel, immediately reboot into recovery and then flash the ROM. Both kernels are meant to CM10 and have Odin and zip files.

As modems go, you could find them on Oxicottin page. I think is the first stickie.

Mad battery drain on M2?

Just flashed CM10 M2 from CM9 9.1 and am experiencing abnormal battery drain. I have dropped from 100 to 51% in about 5 hours. I 'usually' drop that much in an 9 to 11 hour period (depending upon use). Just wondering if this is par for the course or if I am experiencing issues.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
I too am experiencing more than usual battery drain but not to the extent you mentioned.
[Captivate Android Development] bsaelim:
Similar rate of battery drain here (and most of the battery use comes from screen in my case according to settings).
[Captivate Android Development] nok6100:
10% per hour is a little high. From my experimenting, CM9 idle will pull about 1-2% per hour, while any form of CM10 I have tried will pull 3-5% per hour, which is keeping me away from it, but Google Now is pretty cool. :good:

Not sure what to tell you to help your high battery drain but this is my observations on CM9 vs CM10.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
I have not experienced any excessive battery drain on CM10 nightlies. If anything, my battery life is loads better with CM10 than it was on CM9. I'd suggest a TiBu/full wipe/reflash, or flash one of the newer nightlies. I'm on 10/12 right now and it's rocking. Idle drain is like 1%/hr at most.
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
x2... and don't make any assumptions on your first day with CM10 or first charge. The first one is always harder on battery for me until the OS "settles down" after a fresh install. CM10 definitely has never caused that kind of drain on my captivate. (Using 10/15 right now with semaphore 2.4.0sc w/bigmem patch).
[Captivate Android Development] bitnerd:
I don't have any more battery drain on mine than I did on CM9.

I do seem to have a fair number of spontaneous reboots in the October series of images, though. Usually when I'm not even using it
[Captivate Android Development] gado45:
Anyone having issues opening t.co shorten urls on default browser?

[Captivate Android Development] bsaelim:
Spontaneous reboots seem to coincide with background sync in my case. I would need to investigate the log some more.
[Captivate Android Development] bitnerd:
I haven't really seen a pattern in mine but it does seem to happen more frequently if I haven't flashed a new ROM / cleared caches in the last couple of days. Maybe just a coincidence, though
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
Have you tried the semaphore kernel?

That sounds exactly like how my NexusOne used to behave on the default CM kernels. I always had to use wildmonks kernel on that phone in order to be stable over a period of days/weeks.

No issues to report with the latest nightly, other than I find once in a while the keyboard won't show what I typed. At that point i need to back out of the keyboard and click the text-box again in order to reopen it. Then it will type fine. [But it doesn't happen every time].

Edit: Are superuser requests taking really long for you guys? Some things like samba filesharing will give the "Wait Report OK" force close options before it actually gets superuser. It will eventually get it if I click Wait.
[Captivate Android Development] bsaelim:
No keyboard issue with Swype beta.

Running 1018 (with clickable date and time in notification bar working)
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
I've noticed the same occasional keyboard issue with Swype. I've noticed it across several nightlies and also I recall it happening on CM9, so I think it's a Swype issue not a CM issue.
[Captivate Android Development] bsaelim:
Did notice superuser request slowness as well. I flashed back an older version of superuser (3.2 RC3) and the slowness seems to disappear.

Running 1018.
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
I've only used the default keyboard on here, not swype, so it's either a bug that exists in both, or isn't the keyboard itself.

bsaelim, do you happen to have a link to the older versions? I changed to supersu from superuser and that seemed to help a bit, but some things still seem to acquire su slower than they used to.

[Oct. 18th build]
[Captivate Android Development] bsaelim:
This is the one I used:

Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip

Compcache/zram is now available on the latest nightly (10192012).

It's under Settings -> Performance -> Memory Management.
[Captivate Android Development] Ajfink:
Running the Oct. 17th build - might be in my head, but feels perhaps slightly laggier than the Oct. 02/03 builds. Other than that, flawless.
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
That fixed superuser for me. Thanks!

So far so good on this mornings build. :)

I haven't played with the swap/zcache at all yet because it hasn't been merged into the semaphore kernel yet.
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
The wifi hotspot name seen on my laptop keeps changing by adding a number at the end, right now it shows Android 23. This started when I went form CM9 to CM10. It is not affecting performance, but it is rather odd. Is this a bug or a feature?
[Captivate Android Development] bsaelim:
1019 runs fine except the power menu on mine seems to come up a bit too readily (used to come up by hold and press the button)...

Edit: Power button works again after restoring 1018.
[Captivate Android Development] Ir0nLy0n:
Probably a thing with your laptop. Is your hotspot name in your phone changing?
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
Swype has been doing all kinds of crazy things for me. Sometimes it won't auto space, sometimes it wants to capitalize every word and the most annoying thing is when I swype in the wrong word and select the correct one out of the list it adds the word to the beginning of the line instead of replacing the last word.
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
That's what I was thinking too. Kinda like when you update your wireless driver in windows and suddenly it's wireless adapter #2 even though its the only one installed in the machine. Definitely check if the ssid/hotspot name of the phone is actually changing.
[Captivate Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Another goodie good merge: interactive governor

It'll be available in the next nightly (>10192012).
[Captivate Android Development] andi br:
Do I really need to wipe Data to flash M2 over M1 ?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] kevinseto:
Yes, I believe it was on the Sept26 nightly onwards they changed the data partitions so you'll have to flash twice and wipe data.

Just installed the latest nightly. 10/23. Been loving it! So fast!

One problem.

When i get a text or any notification, the screen doesn't light up for a brief couple of seconds like it normally does.

The capacitive buttons light up, but the screen stays dark.

Also, how do you turn off that screen lock animation?
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
Most of these settings are under display. And pretty sure AOSP never turns the screen on for notifications.
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
So I've flashed this today, and I can say that I'm pretty impressed with it, no problems so far. I only have question and that is : in case i want to go back to ICS what do I need to do? Anything special before flashing or just flash as usual?
[Captivate Android Development] Smitty50:
There isn't for me.

And no option to have the screen turn on for a brief couple of seconds when I receive a text.
[Captivate Android Development] droyd666:
Why don't you just use Go SMS, which has an option to turn the screen on when receiving texts.
[Captivate Android Development] Smitty50:
Did not know that, i'll look into it. How come the option to have the screen turn on was taken away?
[Captivate Android Development] swayjd:
You can find it in Settings of the Messaging app. its been merged quite some time ago. Both popup option and wake and unlock screen.
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
Ah I forgot about that. But it never was a default feature.

I guess I was referring to led notifications and crt animation when I said to check display settings. Crt isn't there anymore though. I know you can disable it by turning off the window animation in development settings.
[Captivate Android Development] tmroy:
Why does search suck so much?

Why does search (hitting the magnifying glass or google search) suck so much?

1. Its very slow. I can't really type in the seach window.

2. Voice search flatly doesn't work.

3. Its a good way to cause a spontaneous reboot of the system.

This has been true for awhile, NOT specific to a particular nightly build.

I run the stock cm-10 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
Must be your phone. No problems like that here.

Look at what just got merged...

I know I know, but some of us are actually using vanilla CM10. It will be available in the next nightly (>1027).
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
Went from SaltyBean to another CM10 nightly. If you're having status 7 issues, flash the new Semaphore kernel, reboot to recovery and then flash CM10.
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
Or just remove the assert from the install script. See my previous posts or search. Been mentioned a million times.
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
Wow... Overclocking now in the stock kernel!
[Captivate Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Not only is overclocking in the stock kernel now...

Add ability to under- and overvolt. (MERGED)

Now there really is no reason to use a third party kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
Not entirely true... custom kernels will have other performance-enhancing tweaks and cool features like touch wake.
[Captivate Android Development] tmroy:
Where is this in settings and what is it good for?
[Captivate Android Development] bsaelim:
I have not tried the nightly yet, but I think one use of undervolt is for better battery life (also might cause deep sleep?)

Edit: I don't know if there is a built-in way to set voltage, but it is possible to set it by the Voltage Control app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darekxan.voltagecontrol&hl=en
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
I have much more memory available on semaphore, so I disagree. (369mb in the stock kernel isnt it?).

Also is it live overclocking or just adding a 1200mhz step at the top? ie 100-1200 or 120-1200? It's liveoc on semaphore.

I will agree that there isn't much reason for the average person to use third party kernels now, but there are still reasons for others to.

Is blinking BLN working with the stock CM one?

Did autobrightness ever get sorted out? I tried it a while back when the fix for it was merged, but it still didn't work on my phone, so I went back to semaphore.

I will try the stock kernel again later when I have time to see if the bigmem patch works, along with autobrightness. I have nothing against the stock kernel, I've just been sticking with what works for me. Creature of habbit I suppose. Haha.

@tmroy

The ability to undervolt/overvolt controls the voltage regulator (power going to your processor).

[power = voltage * current] Since your current will be roughly the same when performing identical tasks on the cpu, lowering the voltage allows you to save a tiny bit of power, but lowering it too far (or even at all on some processors) will cause your system to experience a lot of freezing/force closes and reboots. There is no way to know what your processor can handle without lots of testing as it will vary even with processors of the same production run. This is a very very simplified explanation. I'm sure you can search for a more detailed one on XDA, but I've got to run. Those who find the stock configuration unstable will be those interested in overvolting, since we cannot use the overvolting to try overclocking past 1200mhz (as far as I know).

Cheers guys.

Quick question

Hey everyone,

when i was on cm9 i use to unzip (7zip) and delete some apps/fonts/media/pico_tts etc. i then re-zip(7zip) them, flash and everything works fine.

So i decided to do that in cm10. When unzipping, several files came up as being duplicates and asked me to overwrite them such as: system/etc/terminfo/2/2621a(same size) and terminfo/e/eterm (different size)[they were case different]. i didn't think about it and said sure overwrite. and did my thing, re-zipped and flashed. Everything works fine, and i am facing non of the issues that are presented in http://code.google.com/p/sgscm10/issues/list so far.

My question is, How bad did i mess up? what kind of problems/issues would i see?

Sincerely,

Thatguy2007
[Captivate Android Development] dhncali420:
I don't know of any specific problems it will cause but I do the same thing and even remove the terminfo folder from etc and have not had any problems. I found a some talk about it here stating that its really not needed.
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
Its been a while since I used 7zip but with winrar I can delete stuff from the zip without actually unzipping it (it obviously works with a temporary folder) but ive never seen it complain about duplicates. If you're not experiencing any issues now you should be fine as mentioned above. :) I was ready to purchase another phone but cm10 is running so well that I've deemed it unnecessary to upgrade for a little while longer.
[Captivate Android Development] Ajfink:
Just checking in with a comment: CM10 is a bit smoother with Semaphore, though that's obviously subjective. Turning on the deep sleep function did cause me to need to restart the phone and disable it to get it awake again, though, ha.
