Ohh strange, seemed like the /data issues cropped up when not formatting partitions correctly (corruption and all that), but if the script works, the partition should be fine...Well glad you got it working, regardless :D

Try disabling, then enabling USB Debugging, that usually fixes this for me.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
That did the trick! And thanks for the script you posted, that fixed the /data mounting issue for me.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Anyone have any luck with titanium backup? CM7 seems stable enough but i'm on the fence if I can't my data back.
[Captivate Android Development] cchant:
You can't restore data from 2.2 onto 2.3
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Not even app data? I seem to remember Supercurio's tech demo was able to run Titanium Backup and restore app data without any problems.
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
I was actually able to restore apps+data from an older backup, but for some reason or another my newer ones wouldn't restore. TiBu would say it restored successfully, but no data was actually restored. So 2.2 backups have the potential to work, it's just really iffy if they'll actually restore properly.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Ok thanks. I think I may have done the installation wrong because Titanium wouldn't even open, just FC. I'm going to start over and try to follow the directions more closely. How does this sound...

Flash to stock, Master clear

Copy over needed zips

Install Speedmod kernel using odin

3 button into recovery

Apply efs backup

Install initial kernel using odin (no reboot)

3 button into recovery

format system, data, cache

Install initial zip

wipe

Reboot

Install GApps
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
Yeah that's roughly the same procedure posted on the CMod forums so it should get you up and running.

On an unrelated subject, looks like there's now a radio_captivate.sh script in release-tools to make flashable zips for other radios. Has anyone tried any Cap radios on it yet? If not, I'll try cooking up some tonight and see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
I tried JK4 and ended up with no radio. Flashed back to JPY and my radio is back.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Jk4 isn't a cap radio...
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Ah sorry, i wasn't trying to imply that it was. I just tried a radio that had worked well for me in the past to see if it would work...
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Well so far CM7 has been pretty stable. Some random service FC's but nothing that wasn't solved with a restart. Swype installed fine and I can get my work email so I guess I'll try this out as my daily driver for a little while. Nice work guys!
[Captivate Android Development] xnoctis93:
does internal sd mounting work?
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
It does but I had to add the renamed 06mount file that aqtrans had posted a few pages back. Without it the data partition mounting was unstable at best.
[Captivate Android Development] i have a leg:
for anybody that is interested, the newest "nightly" includes a semi-working camera, which i tested on the captivate, it seems to take video fine, but taking picture caused my camera to fail bigtime. i am going to test drive this for a day or two now and i will report back any problems i find, great job people!
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
Yeah just flashed a newly compiled Captivate build, camera viewer displays picture, but taking a picture causes the viewer to go green. Progress! :cool: Google Goggles and Barcode Scanner work fine, so that's pretty awesome.

Quick question...do you (or does anyone) have haptic feedback on the touchkeys with the newest nightly? Mine hasn't worked since around the 1st, and I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. I thought it was due to the removed s3c_keypad files, but I replaced those, no dice.
[Captivate Android Development] i have a leg:
mine stopped working to... i read somewhere that one of the dev's was aware and it should be fixed soon
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
ytt3r mentioned something on twitter about the wifi module needing to be built with the kernel. What did he mean by that? After i updated from to a 2-7-2011 build I no longer have wifi...
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
Just installed CM7 this morning, so far so good. Wifi works fine for me, I installed the base build and then ran the 0207 update. I did have one 'sleep death' when WiFi was on, but other than that has been stable with texting, google voice, browsing, etc. Only thing i have noticed is that it takes a little long to register to AT&T network on initial boot.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Try turning wifi sleep off, and that's caused by a polling problem. Lock then unlock your phone, should connect.
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
Cheers for that. Camera and reorient are the only drawbacks I see so far in this rom ... not having a 'home' button is no fun.
[Captivate Android Development] bpodz34:
Could someone please give me info on where to get a flashable .zip file for either cynanogen mod 6.1 or cm7 thankyou
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
6.1 is in the OP.

7 you can grab the i9000 rom from the CM forums and then build a reorient kernel from ytt3r's github, or you can take the sources from coolya's github, and build a cap rom + cap kernel, as the majority of our reorient fixes should be in their cap kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] bpodz34:
Sorry for the confusion but could you provide a link of where to find the flashable .zip of cm 6.1 please
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
There is 3 that you have to flash. The init kernel, the full i9000 rom, then the reorient kernel. Read the op, all the instructions are there.
[Captivate Android Development] datnukkapenut187:
I'm also having the same issue with outgoing sms, I tried go back to stock and putting in the smsc number and flash over miui R3C but it didn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
This thread is essentially dead. Ask in the MIUI thread, or the CM7 thread.
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Haven't found a swype that works yet. Anyone get it yet. Will go to the i9000 forum to look.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-GT-I9000
[Captivate Android Development] life02:
Just wanted to add my steps:

Flashed (CWM) Tayutama_v1.0.3_Setiron_v1.2.6_JG8_Modem.zip over my Cognition 2.3b4

Rebooted into download mode

Flashed (ODIN): jpm_modem

Rebooted into download mode

Flashed (ODIN): cm_kernel_initial_GT-I9000.tar

Booted into OS (Checked 850 was still active and checked)

Booted into CWM

Did a wipe/restore

Flashed (CWM): CM6.1-GalaxyS-B20101117A.zip

Rebooted into download mode

Flashed (ODIN): 1116-reorient.tar

JPM Modem (ODIN) added to post
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
Did you just change product.model=SAMSUNG-GT-I9000 to SAMSUNG-SGH-I897?
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
Got it working here. I had to delete libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib so that it wouldn't conflict with whatever version of libSwypeCore.so the APK was trying to install.
[Captivate Android Development] rdrake:
Worked perfectly for me. Using a Rogers Captivate I still had to keep SGH-I897 for the assertions to pass, despite my model number actually being SGH-I896. I blame cog.

It kept my APN settings and everything.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] vietphunguyen:
Can someone post the features of CM6?
[Captivate Android Development] h8rift:
Exactly :). I still get quickoffice for captivate in my market since I changes build.prop :)
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
Did you just use notepad? or did it in unbuntu? can you upload what you changed?

EDIT: I'm a moron, I think I got it now. Should know shortly.

Or maybe not. I'm using notepad++ to edit the files, and it gets to the "installing update...." part, but then it just sits there. I don't see any of the script running. No "Welcome to Cyanogenmod..." or anything.
[Captivate Android Development] sportedwood:
here and here
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
Could someone tell me how I could get that please?

Much thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] igm503:
where can i get the jpm modem alone? my interenet connection is terribly slow:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
jpm and other modems right http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8867525&postcount=57
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
Maybe its just me but i use to think the same until it was realized that none of the hsupa modems were connecting to 850. Once the jpp modem is setup right, it works great. Ive compared these two many times with my phone with jpp and hsupa vs. my wifes captivate with ji6 modem. For me the jpp modem has been every bit as good as ji6 if not better and way better than jj4 plus you get hsupa as well. YMMV.
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
Got it working!

For some reason, when I was extracting the whole update.zip and then editing the fields, and then re-compressing them it wasn't working. Just edited the files and pushed them into the zip file using 7z and it worked fine.

When I was rezipping, the file was also like 4 meg smaller for some reason.

It's all good now.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
I didn't have a "libSwypeCore.so" in /system/lib to delete, whenever I try to install Swype.apk it fails.
[Captivate Android Development] h8rift:
Good to hear! The unfortunate thing....every time Aery updates his .zip...you have to do the same thing to it. Then you have to re-Odin Glitter's .tar file again. No big deal to me...but to some it can get annoying :).
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
Now that I know what my problem was it should be much easier.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
No one has really notice any significant battery drain have they? I quickly perused the posts, and I don't think I saw anything, but apparently that's an issue on the i9000. Just wondering if I should spin two versions of the next kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
So I have been working on getting this set up for awhile... I keep getting the getprop error when trying to install CM6.1... I saw someone have this problem and all they said was "fixed." Anyone know the cause/solution?
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
You have to edit the build.prop and updater scripts to read SGH-I897 instead of GT-I9000. There are two edits you have to do, and it's a little more complicated than just changing the files and rezipping.
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
I got ya there. Giving it a shot now. Thanks man!
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
i have major battery drain issues. 50% in 5 hours with minimal use and 2g on.
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
not being able to get swype running is quite bothersome. i've tried all remedies of the skype.apk and it's lib file, but swype doesn't even install.. it comes up with certification errors.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
so like....anyone have any feedback?

i see a lot of people trying to install, but nobody is like "hey i did it....its pretty kewl" or something
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
It is nice and will be great when everything is working. Very fast and is working well enough for me to keep using but for some the issues are too much I am sure

Amazing. Does have problems, of course. Worth it in my book.
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
Well obviously I suck at life right now. Don't have time to keep trying this. I think I edited it too much and it passes and then just goes directly to "Error in blah blah."

I give up for the night. Grats to you guys who get this to work. :) Cya guys next when I have more time...
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
I've been running it for a day, and I haven't had any dealbreaking bugs.

+Calls, and data work fine, I've had to fiddle with the wifi on every boot to get it to associate with my network, but it works fine thereafter.

+Amazingly fast, even after loading all my apps and settings. Samsung should be ashamed. I was used to the slight lag and no app open animation, but now going into Messaging or Phone is crazy smooth and looks fancy :p

+All apps and settings are restored with your Google account, like they're supposed to be.

-Angry Birds and a few other apps didn't install until I ran "su -c vold" in Terminal or via ADB. I've also had to run this command after every boot to get those apps to show up too.

-External SD support is quite buggy, sometimes it's recognized, sometimes not. (pretty sure this is related to the vold stuff)

-GPS is broken, and seems to turn itself on after every boot so be sure to turn it off otherwise it'll sit in the background crashing and restarting.

Pretty impressed it's this smooth, and at such an early development stage. Give it a few weeks and this will be amazing. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] h8rift:
@whitesox311

I could lie to you and tell you this is the best experience on my Captivate I've ever had!

...but that would be a lie.

What's not a lie is, once this is completely patched up and we actually get Froyo source for the Captivate, inject CM initramfs, and load it all up...THEN it will be the best experience on my Captivate I've ever had.

If you like a 100% working phone...DO NOT FLASH.

* Bluetooth is broken. Doesn't even see bluetooth devices.

* GPS is so broken that if anything (including google.com's location based search on the main page) access the GPS...your phone goes into a boot loop or boots back up to a home screen with no radio working.

* Tethering is not working

* Wireless Hotspot is not working.

* Haptic feedback is not working (I think its a kernel issue...one that is NOT glitter's fault. We need Captivate source code)

* Headphone jack does not function (I believe Aery stated only Samsung earbuds work)

* etc etc etc.

* Battery life is still being worked out...

To sum it up...I love this ROM. Had it on my Nexus One which i sold and bought my Captivate with. Almost kicked myself until Aery started working his magic. Having this ROM remotely working, and my interest in getting deeper into development work, is perfect for me. I dont make/receive phone calls anyways....I just surf the net and occasionally send a text or two.

This ROM is not to the point that it is useful for the hard-core users. This is for the geeky, nerdy, love-broken-things-and-watching-them-get-fixed kinda people (a.k.a. myself and I'm sure alot of folks on this forum).

Thanks folks, I enjoy contributing to this community!

Edit: I must be REALLY tired. Sending this message @ the wrong person....EPIC FAIL.

fellow captivate users on the 850mhz band, ive tried several times to flash this with 850 enabled but have failed each time. i have had no problems using the jg8 modem before with the previous i9000 roms but this one will not see the 850 band for some reason, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Captivate Android Development] mikejames07:
Headphone Jack

Has anyone successfully gotten the headphone jack to work? I saw a post earlier leading to the toggleheadset apk but that didn't work for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
So far so good, I'm getting pretty good battery life. GPS doesn't work, and the HD video playback is kinda choppy.

Wireless AP doesn't work either.

I haven't found really anything else that fails yet, call quality is good and haven't had any sound issues after the first reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
- I don't use Bluetooth

- I can live without GPS for now

- I can live without tethering for now

- I don't use Hotspots

- Haptic is a little annoying only because I am so use to it being there. Kind of getting use to it now

- I don't use head phones

- Battery life hasn't been an issue so far

So if any of you are like me, this Rom is great!! The rest would be just icing on the cake for me now.
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
I used these instructions without any issues:

I hope this helps you.
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
awesome! thank you so much!
[Captivate Android Development] Pinepig:
Did this too ( thanks for the listout ), remember that the 116-reorient goes in the PDA section of odin.

The JPM modem link that somebody posted earlier is a zip and is done in CWM rather than odin.

Don't forget to CWM the zip for the Google market ( in the other thread linked in the first post ) otherwise there will be no market on your phone.

So far I'm not having any of the problems getting TiBackup to install and back up the apps I had before.

This thing is QUICK now, snappy going from one thing to another, I don't use any of the things that are broke on it ATM so I'll run it for a few days and see how it does.

I've been a big Cog fan ever since he started, I may be staying with this as they make it better, sorry DG.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
man i cant wait until they get some bugs worked out.....this sounds amazing

right now aospmod is holding me over -_-
[Captivate Android Development] sdotbrucato:
Not being able to get a working 850Mhz modem was a deal breaker for me. I limped by a work day, but I'll definetely have to wait until something is worked out. Preferably a Captivate specific kernel, with a Captivate Modem...

I really do appreciate the work with the CM Reoriented Kernel, when payday comes around I'll be sure to make some donations!
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
the way of using tayutamas rom and going through the steps to get the 850mhz working actually worked for me, i wouldnt have been able to use this at all if it hadnt been for that. :) definitly worth trying again and getting it working.
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
Plus I think it was the easiest way to install too.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
I dont know if anyone has realized or know how to fix, but for the sd card settings it shows only Phone Storage and Internal SD.. Doesnt show the external sd card. When mounting the usb storage the external also doesnt work..

Just wanted to point out that the External SD card is located at /mnt/sdcard_ext
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
I have the same issue. 40% in about an hour, my phone barely charges fast enough to keep up with the draw. I believe in the I9000 forum it was stated that 'immvibed' needed to be deactivated to stop the battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
thanks..i figured that out afterwards but still doesnt solve my issue with mounting it to the computer
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
I had perceived bad battery drain, but it was because I had screwed up the initial flash and went through like 4 roms yesterday.

I charged to 100%, deleted battery stats, and now its draining normally.
[Captivate Android Development] Pinepig:
Got it installed last night, played some games for about 40 min, left it running and had 74% left this morning.

Battery seems OK to me.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Battery charged yesterday morning at 7:00 AM. Right now at 25% with low to occasional moderate use.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
I'll roll out another kernel tonight with immvibed disabled. I'm still not convinced this is an issue for our phones as I'm only down 20% 5hrs after unplugging and most of that is from browsing. Nothing from that indicates to me that there is any serious drain going on.

I hope every also realizes that the OC/UV kernel will, by default, have a max frequency of 1.2GHz. I assumed everyone would have already at least tried one of setiron's kernel, but maybe I shouldn't assume that.
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
The I9000 forum states that immvibed has to do with Samsung's haptic feedback, perhaps it's draining more because I have vibrate mode enabled. Could be something else, but I was using the a stock I9000 with setiron's OC/UV kernel and I was getting great battery life, with Cyanogen I can literally watch the battery level fall.
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
I've been in vibrate mode all day with haptic feedback turned on and I don't have bad battery drain at all.

I would try recalibrating your battery.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
those that are having some battery drain and using the OC kernel try the voltage control app. its uploaded in my di11is darkyy thread at the bottom. im using -50 across the board with -25 for 1000 and 1200. im not sure if this kernel is UV'ed at all by default i havent really looked at it so i may really be undervolted more than that but either way i flashed this last night and with moderate/heavy use i just got almost 20 hours out of a charge. everybody always talks about battery life, but ive flashed my phone literally hundreds or times and tried all kinds of ****, the main cause of battery going down is ALWAYS screen. it always comes to around 3hrs of screen ON time per 100% charge and your phone will have to be charged again. This is on both me and my wifes captivates on any rom
[Captivate Android Development] sportedwood:
have you noticed auto brightness vs keeping it around 50% to make much of a difference?
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
i never use auto brightness i just leave it at probably 25% or so. one thing with this rom (CM6.1) that might help is the inverted color option in the browser. probably 75% of my on-screen time is browsing and being able to invert the white/black and make most of the screen black should help with battery since with our screens, black on the screen means no pixels are firing.
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
Battery life is great now. 10% in 5 hours while at work with mild to moderate use. Normally 30-40%

UV everything -75

2g on while not using data
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
That's all you changed? Weird.
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
i did another test, went to a party after work. form about 11am, to 3 pm, and it went form 76% to around 68% with active use.

i had reflashed earlier in the day ,maybe that helped too.

[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
Swype fixed

i fixed swype, follow my procedures exactly

make sure swype is NOT installed. remove swype lib file as well

if this doesn't work, reflash cyanogen with NO swype in the rom and try again

download the attatched swype.apk

add to sd card

find apk and install (DO NOT PRESS DONE)

wait 5-10 seconds on the screen after install is complete

finally, click done then enable swype
