Hi, new to this stuff.

I did it to my Infuse but its been awhile and don't remember everything.

I want to do it to my wifes captivate, she is running stock GB.

In page one of this post its says ,

1.Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery, how do I do this, where do I get it from?

3.Do a Nandroid backup! ????

The reason I want to do this is because her phone keeps shutting off and freezes, and different crazy stuff, I am hoping this will fix it/

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
Install Corn 7 kernel via Odin and PC, with usb cable. It includes CWM and root. It will be a tar file that you put on your pc, not zip.

After flashing with odin, reboot into recovery by holding down vol up and down keys while pressing power button. Navigate through CWM menus to install extras, then install Superuser and busybox. Reboot, and you are rooted.

Nandroid backup = backup with CWM in this case.

Once you have CWM, you can flash rom zip files that are on your phone or sd card. No need for usb cable at that point.

Hey,

using Odin3_v1.7, I put the Corn 7 kernel in the PDA slot and hit start and says nothing 0 succeeded and 0failed, which means nothing happened?

I just realized that Odin is not recognizing my phone when plugged in and in Download mode.?

Like this? Okay, it's not quick settings, but it gets the job done. Clicking reboot launches the recovery/reboot menu, with option for download mode, if you enabled it. Clicking power off opens a confirmation to power off.

Finally Flashed Cyanogen...

Was ready to throw my Captivate into a wall the other day... it was lagging so bad it couldn't even keep up between multiple texts and phone calls. So after deciding to upgrade to the S4, I thought I may as well flash this. Turns out my phone now runs flawlessly! Still learning how CM10 works but for now, it has "saved" me a couple hundred dollars!

Since your on CM10 now, you should check out Sepphi's Captivating ROMS themed to look and feel like the Xperia. I am now on RC2 with his ROM and with the bigmem turned on in Semaphore manger I now have 409mb of Ram driving my 3 year old captivate to warp speeds! Just thought I'd mention that. :o

Running 10.1 nightly from 6/3, I'm noticing my battery drains a lot quicker now especially at idle and my signal strength isn't quite there either. Could this be from the modem included in the bootloaders I had to flash to run the newest version of CM10.1? Any suggestions for a new modem to try
[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
Here is a link to the modem I had in mid May with 10.1, before flashing 0603 nightly. I did notice signal bars seem to be lower with 0603 but not actual signal, AFAIK.

At home I get -95 to -89 db with either modem.

I am on ATT in USA, California.

consumes too much battery
[Captivate Android Development] tmroy:
Ferocious battery drain.

I've been getting 3-4 hours of battery life lately, with the latest cyanogenmod roms, with or without a semaphore kernel...

Its a bit disconserting to disconnect from power and look down 10 minutes later to the battery meter down below 80%....

I tracked it down to the browser CONSTANTLY running in the background.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Todd
[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
are you talking about the stock browser? I don't see it. I am getting about 10 hours of moderate use with standard battery.

Have you tried using BetterBatteryStats? There is a thread in Android Apps and Themes forum with the free apk.

Yes - the stock browser.

It had been misbehaving for weeks - even across cm10.1 nightly upgrades (which I compulsively do almost daily).

Funny thing - I just disabled it, then when I tried importing bookmarks into Chrome, it got re-enabled

and didn't misbehave, until I rebooted... Now it is misbehaving ... again ...

I'm experiencing general slowness with the 10.1's. Could this be that JB takes up a significant amount of ram? If I wanted a faster experience, should I go back to cm9 or cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
try going to settings, performance, memory management, and selecting allow purging and kernel same page merging.

Look to see what apps are running frequently in the background. Either deny them startup using a tuner app of your choice, or tweak to reduce frequency of updates in the apps settings.

Also, don't expect it to be too responsive for several minutes after boot completed.

Thanks for the advice, I just checked those off. Before changing those, screen was 33 percent and android os 15, other apps were a few percent. I'll see how things look tomorrow...
[Captivate Android Development] harryk92:
Well, I can definitely say that performance has gone up a notch. App loading times are decreased by a few seconds and just general functions go more quickly. The battery life, however, is still pretty sad. Sometimes, even when I charge overnight, the battery only gets up to 50 percent. Sometimes in the 90's. I have to wonder if this is because the battery is the original from when I got this phone in 2010, used it for two years till I got the GS3, the just switched back to it after my GS3 broke.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
RC5 is very smooth indeed. I nave no complaints about battery life. It's similar to other CM-based custom ROMs. My new 1800mAh battery runs 2X long compared to original >2y old 1500mAh battery. Typical lithium battery retains good charge for about 300 cycles only. 2y old battery may not hold even 50% of it's original capacity.
[Captivate Android Development] pawitp:
Today, I have a question to ask all of you.

The CyanogenMod wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_captivatemtd) contains instruction for installing CyanogenMod from stock ROM. Unfortunately, from the non-standard compliance of early Samsung devices, a special kernel with CWM needs to be flashed (later devices can simply flash recovery). Some users have reported problems with installing CM on the kernel linked there.

My question: what kernel (with CWM) do you recommend for installing CyanogenMod from stock ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
Pawitp -

I found Corn Kernel 7, via odin 1.85, flashed over stock KK4, to work well as a base for flashing cm10 and gapps.

mtcarey's corn 7 kernel includes cwm recovery with menus for installing su and busybox, so in theory, it should be possible to fully root the phone if it is not already rooted prior to flashing the kernel. mine was rooted before corn, so I havent tested rooting by that method.

If heimdall is preferred tool, it should be relatively straightforward to create a heimdall flashable version of corn 7 kernel, if one doesn't already exist.

Sent via Monty Pythons Flying Circus, sgh-i897.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Starting from stock Rogers 2.3.3 ROM, I used easy-mtcareys-kernel-heimdall-package - Corn kernel flash + CWM + Root (optional). Flashed CM10 Stable in recovery after, no issues at all. I did stock-to-cm10 upgrade 3 times actually and this package worked nice and easy every time.

~Guys I have a problem, or rather, 2 problems.

1. The phone disconnects for the network often and won't ever get mobile data. Sometimes the Edge icon shows up but I have no acess anyway.

2. Internal SD doesn't show up on my PC to transfer stuff so I can go back to other rom.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
1. I see you are in Portugal and the stock rom is for North America, with a North American modem.bin installed in /radio folder. Check the stickies for a list of modems. You will want one of the i9000 modems.

[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
weird. here is something that worked for me, once. called carrier and asked if they had any outtages or network upgrades in progress. they did and issued me credit for extra minutes.

rep also told me to power down phone, remove and reinsert sim, then power up. I asked why and rep said they 'updated' my service. the problems went away.

no clues on your sd, sorry.

[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
I had that same issue at one point with the SD refusing to mount on the PC. I haven't tried it lately, but just use another method to transfer your files to the phone like sambadroid, or set up a share on your pc and use ES File Manager to copy things from your PC share to the phone. I like it better with no cables anyway.:laugh:

I'm assuming it was this commit here that messed up my home screens today.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/44548/

I have hidden apps, but just because I don't use the shortcuts in the drawer, doesn't mean I don't want the widget on my home screen.

The concept behind this commit is either flawed, or the commit itself is broken. It took me a few minutes to figure out why my widgets would keep disappearing this morning when I readded them.

[Captivate Android Development] mx828:
what type of overclocking are you talking about? If you mean overclocking only the cpu then you first need to go to settings then about phone, next tap the build number section at the bottom. Now go back and under system there now should be a section called performance. Tap on it and tap accept, finally go to cpu section and tap on the max cpu frequency and overclock to either 1100mhz or 1200mhz. HOWEVER, if you want a Live overclock as in overclocking the memory, gpu and cpu then you'll need a custom kernel such a semaphore or devil because the cyanogenmod kernel doesn't support live oc. Hope I helped :)
[Captivate Android Development] Klitoni:
Thanks mate, now i have a plenty of options just like the cm10 :D
[Captivate Android Development] KMan94:
Little things like both amaze me and to some degree disappoint me. Its amazing that this feature is here but disappointing that to me at least it seems so hidden and unusable. How is one suppose to find things like this?

And there it is. Thanks! Quick question. I'm running a nightly from sometime back... if I want to flash the stable version, do I have to do the complete wipe and re-install of all apps or can I just flash the stable version.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
No need to reinstall your apps or adjust your settings again. In CWM do "wipe cache partition" and "advanced > wipe dalvik cache", then flash 10.1 stable and select "reboot system now". Wait for the system to rebuild dalvik cache on first boot and you are good to go. Note that all custom kernels, boot animations, system sounds, etc. will be replaced with default CM10.1 ones. You'll need to flash those again in CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
on 0630 nightly for a day, I got 3 spontaneous shutdowns of phone while connected to usb charger.

to make sure it isn't hardware related, I've restored a 10.1.0 stable backup and will test for next day or so.

[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
For some reason on my phone CM10.1 stable becomes laggy after few days of use. I use only about 30 popular apps, very same apps with every ROM I try. I thought the issue is in installation so I downloaded the file again and did a clean reinstall by the book. Same think happens after 24h of use, the phone slows down to the point where touch screen doesn't register all touches. Anyone else with similar experience?
[Captivate Android Development] Felipaoo:
Mine gets laggy overtime but I don't seem to get to that tragic point. If I restart the phone, the lag goes and works really good, but its just a matter of time (1 day, lets say) to get laggy again.

With laggy I mean, for example, if I have an app open and I press the home button, it takes a few moments for the app to go away, then the wallpaper appears but no icons, and finally the icons appear after a few more moments (I have no widgets). The contact list takes a while to load, etc.

I downloaded the Fast Reboot app to free memory but it doesn't seem to help.

Any idea?
[Captivate Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
After installing this nightly...coming from 2.3.5 custom rom - I got the "Setup Wizard has stopped working"....any one know why this is so?

EDIT: I rewiped and formatted data,system, cache and it worked just fine. Sorry!
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Not for now... I've tried 2-3 different kernels and same thing happens. I'm getting launcher reloads too. I don't see anything unusual in running apps and services list. Restored my phone back to previous ROM, will take a look at CM10.1 again when I have some more time. I know few ROMs suffer from this kind of slowdown over time but I don't remember seeing it on CM before.
[Captivate Android Development] pawitp:
When it's lagging, please run "adb shell dumpsys meminfo" and post the result. I suspect you're running out of RAM. Please also post the standard bug report info list (see first post)
[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
i get the slowdown after running updates with google play. killing play takes care of it. the touch response is there, but I have to wait a while to see it.

amendment, addit info:

I am running standard pawitp kernel, not semaphore or its variants. I will try to run an adb meminfo and debug report the next time I am updating or adding app with google play.

Sent via Monty Pythons Flying Circus
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Hmm... the main suspect now is the new 3.0.0c Semaphore kernel. Loading boot animation is slower, the whole boot process seems to be slower, once it says 396MB memory, on next reboot it says 384MB... something is wrong here. I'm currently running CyanCore 2.8.0 kernel and the phone is much smoother. The only reason I replaced the original kernel is missing In-Call Volume Control in Advanced settings. I'm going to test it now for a few days. I know the problem is not in the ROM. It's somewhere around my preferred setup.

Update: Aargh! You are absolutely right - the phone was smooth until I had an app update in Play Store. After the update the phone become unusable for about 30sec. Pulling down notifications doesn't work, opening app drawer takes 10sec, starting an app is close to impossible. It's like OS multitasking stops working after app update.
[Captivate Android Development] mik101:
Well the memory changing using semaphore is probably just user error. Did you flash the c or sc version? The latter for hugemem configuation which requires flashing patched libraries to be used with CM. If you did install the C version, did you install the semaphore manager app and check the status of the Bigmem hack? These are two separate memory hacks that are available with semaphore. You can configure it between 384-409mb of RAM if I remember correctly. I use the hugemem hack, so: semaphore sc with patched libraries, and I don't enable the bigmem hack because it breaks 720p video recording. I end up with 397mb available.

Edit: If you're coming from Cyancore, that install has the prepatched libraries in it to work correctly with CM10.1, the original Semaphore SC does not, you have to get the zip and flash them yourself. Either that or the bigmem setting being erratic was definitely your issue there. I'm probably going to give cyancore a look, it seems to include everything I use as well.

I have the same issue too with google play, but the process does actually finish and my phone goes to normal about 30 seconds after the app is installed. When does Android compile the dalvik cache for newly installed apps? Since it does all of the preinstalled once on first boot, I'd suspect it is doing that for the newly installed app. My phone does go back to normal after that. Might just be starting to show its age. Depending on how much ram is used to generate the dalvik the system might be agressively booting things to recover memory (hence the launcher reloads).

Semaphore 3.0.0sc on this mornings CM10.1 nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
I use "c" version for CM10 based ROMs and "sc" with Slim only.

This issue is a deal breaker for me. It happens only with CM10.1 stable.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Back to CM10.1 RC5 - no lag after app update in Play Store! Same CyanCore 2.8.0 kernel, same system settings, same apps installed. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Felipaoo:
Well well! I killed Google Play Store on Application Settings and it happens to stop the lag... it'd be awesome if there was a more permanent solution instead of forcing to quit the app every time I update something lol
[Captivate Android Development] pawitp:
In this case, issue might be CPU, please also report the output of "busybox top" as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Stupid question but I did search. I remember someone mentioning this before but couldn't find it.

2 issues. Ringtones for individual contacts are being lost in flash and need to be reset also default to one getting set to unknown? Any way around this?

Last, ringtone only plays once and doesn't repeat. Anyway to make this happen again?
[Captivate Android Development] laughingT:
Theres a media storage bug for custom tones that are on the sd partitions. it loses the index on boot.

my solution: You can copy custom ringtone files into the update zip file, in the system/media/audio/ringtones folder before flashing. When you flash in cwm, make sure signature verification is off, the default. or sign the zip file before flashing if you are concerned about corruption.

I do this, without the signature verification, by using X-plore app to copy the files into the nightly zip file. And the assignments to contacts stick. my custom tones are mp3, not ogg.

re repeating tones. repeat is coded into the ogg file header.

but for ringtone, it should repeat with each ring, regardless. you can edit the tone with an ogg file editor if you want a short tone to keep repeating between rings.

I couldn't get the lag behavior again, even running several apps in addition to running play installation at the same time.

I'm not overclocking and cpu didn't exceed 80% @ 1 gHz. in performance mem management settings, ksm and purge bitmap are enabled, zram is not.

There was a barely noticable delay in respose to a swipe down to scroll the notification drawer.

Since I am running holo launcher hd instead of trebuchet, it's possible that could be the difference. I don't force it to stay in memory, because it comes out of cache very rapidly.

Not sure it trebuchet lets itself get cached or not.
