I agree - I just thought some posters are confusing V5, V6, etc. for new file dumps rather than just the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
I got another bug for you. Using the gallery app everything loads extremely slow. Never had an issue with it before. Running DG's latest build found in the dev section.
[Captivate Android Development] danquirk2000:
The constant reboots seems to be the major problem with me. I have tried several different modems and fresh installs but have yet to find a working ROM. I have concluded that this issue only occurs after putting phone to sleep after several different tests. I have tried disabling wifi sleep/notifications but still experiencing these issues. I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone flash this for any other purpose other than to test GB.
[Captivate Android Development] vampiriclover:
Just posting results for V6 test

Working:

Phone Calls

Data(somewhat slow to start 3g)

SMS

Enough to make it my everyday use phone

Not Working:

Camera

GPS(Not Tested)

Wifi(Works but crashes and reboots phone if left idle)

Nothing else I really found.

Overall, it is enough to make it a day to day use phone as long as you don't need a camera or if you can remember to shut off wifi after your done with it. Buttons configured correct. Able to get into download mode to flash back to stock if you remove and replace battery and hold volume buttons while plugging in usb while phones off.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I am using the Roger's Captivate, i896, but that's the only issues I can think of. I'm only experiencing reboots when unplugged, which is really odd.
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
Resolution on the CWM flashable V6 is off. also this is probably the cause of the am/pm not showing up to the right of the time in the status bar. Orientation is still broke for me. I also just had my first random reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Guess that explains why we have a working port, config specific fixes in the kernel for the i897 and plenty of captivate owners in the dev channel working on it.

Hey look, all galaxy s phones... imagine that...

Anyway...does anyone have experience tweaking the kernel's touch radius tolerance? I'm assuming the adjustments don't belong in touch driver sources.

[Captivate Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Okay listen up,

This is XDA, it was founded on the focus of development for phones and improving them. What has been showcased here by some members does not contribute to the community and will not be tolerated. Any further posting of this nonsense will be handled by me. I understand saying thanks for something or reporting bugs, but these developers do this as a hobby and because they enjoy what they do. Flaming and harassing a developer or other members because you may think one brand/phone is better than the other is not helpful in any sense.

Please clean it up.

Happy Holidays,

Some people never cease to amaze me. Ah well, back to Gingerbread goodness.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] dcrews:
So does anyone want a piece of my gingerbread house?

Oh wait.. nevermind.... :)
[Captivate Android Development] Verysafety:
Just flashed my phone with the Tech Demo rom released, it's pretty awesome. I must say 2.3 really is the hype it claims to be. It feels fresh. Can't wait for further development! Keep it up!
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Just watched CM7 (Gingerbread) boot on my phone... quite exciting to see some CM extras in GB! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
How is this possible?
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
I just dumped the CM7.zip that was posted in the NS forums... pulled the system folder and followed the same directions for setting it up in /data/gingerbread (after changing the name of my good-running gingerbread folder).

I can now boot between GB-a, CM7-a and Axura2.5.1 by changing a couple filenames and changing the kernel; I guess you could technically call it a tri-boot setup.

As of now, I know CM7 will boot; get a data/cell connection and make phone calls... didn't finish this project until late last night.

I'm currenly using GB as my daily driver, but I plan on swapping back over to CM7 this evening and playing with it a bit.

Hopefully posting some findings from CM7 this evening!
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
are you having the same gps/accelerator and random wifi/3g issues as the v5?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
CM isn't allowed to have pre installed google apps. You have to flash them. Go to the CM forum, there should be flashable gapps packages.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
I know, but the GAPPS.zip is installed in clockwork... at this point, we don't have access to recovery from GB on Captivate. I'm going to try and see what I can do to install the market.apk, then I'll be able to download the rest of the needed apps from there.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Oh true. I'm sorry, I completely forgot that. you can always download the gapps, then use astro/whatever to go into the zip and install the apks from there.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Yeah... but will have to get Astro from a third party... I will play with it a bit more this evening and see what kind of bugs I run into after getting gapps setup on it.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Damn, true. Doesn't CM have.a built file manager though?

[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
couldn't you open up the GAPPS.zip in Axura and manually move over all the files in /system to /data/gingerbread/system
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
adb install

Just make sure you get all the apks you need. Vending.apk is the Market, but you need a bunch of other ones for any of that to work.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I have this running well on my Captivate. Just installed it on my wife's and no APN settings will stay. It had none so I tried to add manually using the settings from my phone. I hit save and it stays without any settings. Has anyone had this happen or know of another fix to try and get her phone to recognize the network? The only difference between our phones is I unlocked mine and hers is not. I don't think that would make a difference since we are running on Att. Otherwise everything works fine, WIFI works well, her phone is not getting the sleep death leaving WIFI on, no random boots so far, just not getting any network action. I could care less if she has data as long as voice works. Thanks for any suggestions.

Edit: It seems it didn't flash a modem so I will have to find one. I will report back. It is weird that it would not flash that?

I downloaded the Telus JL3 modem that Perception 9.5 uses since that is what is on my phone and it still says baseband unknown? I am stumped.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
No modem is included in this, it should just maintain whatever modem you had flashed before.... I have not encountered any problems using JK4
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Yeah that's what makes it weird for it to be there before flashing and gone after. I will try doing the full process to see if it makes a difference.

This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Why not just flash a new modem over it and see if it fixes your network problem?
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
What kernel are you using? V5_reoriented? ...or one of the previous ones?
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I did flash a new modem. I said I tried flashing the Telus JL3 that is used with Perception since that is what is on my phone. It still didn't pull it up.

It is the zip by DG, I tried V4 of his zip, that originally didn't work so I flashed back to JF6 and did the process again using his zip V3 since that is what I am currently running. That didn't work. That is when I tried flashing the modem using Odin and it still says baseband unknown and won't let me manually add the APN. So I figure I would try to run the code myself over a different ROM since I did that on my phone the first time before using the zip.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Sorry, I thought you were using supercurio's method... I haven't used DG's method yet. Wish I could be of more help...
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
No worries. I am doing that method now to see if it makes any difference. It is weird because both of our phones are damn near exact for any flashing I have done, with hers being usually less finicky. Appreciate the thoughts though! Thanks man. Still watching your CM7 thread, curious to see how that turns out.
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
It probably wont help much, but I had the same problem with no network. i had to wait a long time before network finally kicked in. I also had to reflash DG's a few times. I started stock, master clear, cognition, then his v2 or v3 (I dont remember as I am not using it now) and then I waited a while for data to kick in. I also made sure data worked from flashing to cognition and let it stop reading sd cards before i flashed to GB. Hope that helps. *shrugs*
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Yeah Data worked when I tried flashing the zip as well as before running the ADB commands myself. But both times it says unknown network. Even after I would try to flash just the modem. I am perplexed that is for sure haha. Ahhh who am I kidding she doesn't need GB anyway. It will work at some point I just haven't figured out the combination yet. Thanks for the info. :)
[Captivate Android Development] vampiriclover:
Just to help

There was an easy way for me.

-Flash to stock using odin flash

-Root and flash Perception using Rom Manager.

-Move v6 zip from super's page to the phone and use Rom Manager again to flash that rom.

V6 should boot up and it seems to be working fine. I've had it on mine for a few days now with no problem.

Working:

Calls/Data/3G/Wifi(mine did crash on Wifi sleep, but it works)

Not Working:

Camera

GPS(not tested)

Hope this can help.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
Something I noticed when I was using DG's v4..

When the phone would boot up i wouldn't have data, but if I pressed the power button to put the phone to sleep, then press it again to wake it back up. I miraculously had data.

I tried it several times and if I didn't do this data would take several minutes to actually start.
[Captivate Android Development] APE992:
Since some mod decided to delete my previous post asking this question I'll ask again (since it isn't a violation of the rules and I'll assume someone was just power tripping):

Since the work is now considered one and the same with cyanogen does that mean the Captivate will be getting cyanogen? Simple question, simple answer.
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
If it's the same, then wouldn't you just be worrying about whether it has the cyanogenmod brand name or not?
[Captivate Android Development] APE992:
Thats not what I'm worried about, what I'm worried about is having bought a phone from a company that has an extremely poor track record in releasing updates for the OS.

Cyanogen has a rather good record of doing that for said companies. Friend of mine has a G1 which is only supported to 1.6 or so. Cyanogen provides 2.1.

That is why. What I'd also like to know is why the question was deleted in the first place but I fully anticipate hostility towards that one.
[Captivate Android Development] Banditlol:
have you tried reverting back to 2.2 reflashing the modem you wanted to use then flashing the 2.3 kernel? (or however dg says to switch between 2.2 and 2.3) that worked for me when i had no data and phone signal.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Yes, I did that already. I put her phone back to a 2.2 Rom because I tried both methods, (SuperCurio's I9000 thread doing the command and flashing using the zip file). Neither worked on her phone for data. I flashed alternate modems in hopes of getting data to work and everytime it would would say Unknown for Baseband Version. I did notice that when I originally put GB on my phone using SC thread my data took less time when turning off WIFI to activate compared to using the zip file DG put together. No idea why but it just does. I am personally going back for now to a 2.2 Rom just because I have some features I want but don't have on 2.3. Otherwise I have been really happy with how it has ran on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Captainkrtek:
It was deleted by another mod just cleaning up the thread

@Everyone stay on focus here with the topic please
[Captivate Android Development] Mikey:
So you bought a phone for the updates in the OS included?

If so, sorry to be another person to disappoint you ;)

Providers are not selling phones with upgrades included to the OS

They sell a phone for what is on that phone at that moment of sale :)

That's the beauty about Android though, it can be ported, for the most part.

When will it be ported or advanced by the developers, that's is strictly up to the developers.

My 2cents
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
I am the Mod that Deleted the post while cleaning up the thread like I was Asked to. It was nothing personal. As Far as why it was deleted is that it had nothing to do with development of the port. What it is called is irrelevant to the work being done.

As the end user, we benefit. I'd rather have Supercurio with personal means rather than making the community happy, becuase making us happy only makes others happy for so long.

Honestly, I don't see a problem with this. Really it's his choice as to what he works on and doesn't work on. He's benefiting us here in the community and by doing so benefiting himself. Quite frankly why do something if you're getting nothing in return. Whether that be money, notoriety, or just a simple thanks. I'd much rather see this, where he's up front about his motives, than someone asking for money in return for ROM upgrades..
[Captivate Android Development] snaai8:
Sorry to bother all of you but I've a question

It says that gingerbread is currently being pushed to AOSP..

can somebody explain to me what AOSP is?

And what will happen if the process is completed and the chefs get they're hand on the uploaded files ?

Many thanks ^^

[Captivate Android Development] mesasone:

[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Nice Link. +1
[Captivate Android Development] snaai8:
Sorry I asked it wrong ^^"

I meant to ask:

If it is on AOSP what are the things a chef can do more with it?

Is it just to start a fresh rom with?

Like is it just basic non bloatware gingerbread 2.3?

(yeah I knew what AOSP was but my english sucks x3 I'm dutch FYI)
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
No worries, I didn't know what it meant until days ago, I was too lazy to look it up though. :-)

the AOSP will post the source code of the OS, not just the compiled files. So the Devs can dig into the code itself and make changes to the code.

You can see some of this happening now with the Kernel. Supercurio has Voodoo running on it. And here, xcaliberinhand has to modify the source code of the i9000 kernels to re-orient it and modify headset pinouts, home button etc...

Access to the source code will let the Devs build complete custom ROMs, and ROMs for other devices, not just ROMs based off of released things. Like the Captivate FroYo ROMs. They're still Samsung's roms, just settings changes and themes, the kinds of mods you can make with root access, not code access.

Just a quick note/preference... I've been watching this thread since it opened anxiously awaiting to hear good news about the progress of this, and the UPDATED in the title seems to be a bit misleading. ;) Think you could either put a time (preferred) or a date so it's easier to know when new info is up? :D (ie.

A lot of respect for everyone with their hands and minds knee deep into this project. It is a day like today that I wish I would have pursued the code path, but I am definitely happy behind my camera.

I plan on being one of the "Guinea Pigs" like the other users in this thread, and I will post my bugs, errors and successes to try and help the development along. Keep up the good work...

Samsung announced that 2.2 won't be on the Epic this week as promised... that means that my Cappy would be updated in 2014 if it wasn't for XDA/CM teams working together on this.

Can OP please update more frequently. I'm not asking for multiple times per day. Something like a one liner update every 2-3 days would be nice. Thanks to OP and the devs ! Highly looking forward to it.
[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
To anyone who is facing the reboot problem when the screen locks, it seems that downloading Superpower and letting it run at stock settings has prevented it from rebooting for about 5 hours for me somehow, plenty of manual locks and auto locks later, still kickin'.

I know this isn't a support thread, but it's a problem plaguing us all and it's a pretty easy fix, just thought I'd share it!

Did some testing, killed both active and cached processes for Superpower, locked screen, died. Turned superpower back on, no longer rebooting once again.

Messed with it a bit more and jotted down the results,

I'm pretty sure to say Superpower prevents the rebooting for me perfectly, if it does for others too, perhaps if we check out how Superpower handles things when the screen is locked, we can solve this mysterious rebooting problem, or at least get a little bit more information on it.
[Captivate Android Development] bblaze1874:
Didnt stop my phone from rebooting at screen off....thanks for the info though
[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
Make sure you set your Sleep policy to Never (Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > WiFi Settings > Menu > Advanced Settings > Sleep Policy > Never), and leave WiFi on, but not connected to any networks.

I have superpower set to disable wifi auto on screen state, that's the only setting i changed. Through further goofing, turning wifi off, even if superpower is left on, will cause reboots again.

I'm guessing people gave up on this project? No updates in quite a while.

Hardware-wise the phones are too different. Same CPU, same display, but the hardware similiarities end there.

What gets me is there are gingerbread ROMs available for Motos and HTC's, but nothing for Galaxy S. Disappointing.
[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:
I am also very curious about this. I'm really sick and tired of the buggy Froyo builds that we have available for our phones, and can't wait for Gingerbread. How's it coming along guys?

It's i9000 because there is no Gingerbread for Captivates. There are decent Captivate ROMs. What an obnoxious thing to say.

Every rom on the first two pages of development is I9000. Where are the good cappy roms that your defending??

[Captivate Android Development] tiger4j:
I might be wrong but i think he was mainly referring to the Captivate ROMs being based off of i9000 firmware. Last I knew we only had one leaked 2.2 firmware via DG. There is definately a drought of new firmware for our devices ie Captivate specific. I agree with you though, we do have some nice ROMs that we are able to use.
