[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
Looks like the new gpu driver was committed a hour after the new build was posted.

http://twitter.com/#!/CMSGSTeam

I assume that means it wasn't included in the 4/20 build. I just compiled a build last night and then saw that an official nightly was added this morning. I guess I'll be compiling again this evening to try out the new gpu driver.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Works fine here.
[Captivate Android Development] slayp00n:
If I flash this for driver updates, does that mean I cannot flash the escapists 4.5 after? I will need to wait till he updates? or are the drivers outside the kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
You'll have to wait. I pulled in almost all the fixes, just have to let it do a clean build while I'm at work tonight. That means update tonight or tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] slayp00n:
10 char
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
What do these new drivers do exactly?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
If the Changelog is not what you are looking for, look in https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung - it's all there.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
oh okay thanks
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Can't wait to flash. Thanks for getting this out to us so fast, I know how hard you have all been working and you don't get nearly enough appreciation for it.
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
If I am migrating from MIUI, do I need to do everything from scratch or can I just flash the latest CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] haojan:
I am considering testing it out but would like to hear a little more about your experience with this ROM. What/If there are the missing functions that you are currently working around while using this ROM? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
I still have high cell standby in the battery usage. Is there any way to work around this? Its killing my battery like crazy
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I had that too till I changed my modem to jk4
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
Okay i'll try jk4
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
There's nothing missing unless you like to record 720p video and take pics at the full 5mp resolution. Using Vignette camera from the market will allow you to take 5mp pictures so you can potentially cross that off the list. Everything else works normally. There are a few issues to iron out such as battery drain, but now that source code is released those issues will get better and better with each update.

Keep in mind that this is pure Android and not Samsung lagwiz so it will not look like or act like what you are used to. If you want to know what pure Android should be then this is it.

******Follow the flashing instructions carefully*******

Most issues that I have seen reported are from people not following install instructions correctly, but it's a piece of cake if you can follow the steps.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
here you go
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
You can check the changelog, but practically speaking I haven't been bothered by any of the bugs. Its important to think about what you use your phone for and then see if the bugs apply. For me... this is a 100% stable perfect ROM... but maybe once you start doing x y or z you'll notice its still alpha

[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
Thanks but i already had it on my phone cause i was using jk4 earlier till i updated cm7.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
the one i attached is cm compatible the regular ones will brick your phone
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
It would fail to flash, not brick the phone.

Sent from my CM7 powered captivate
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
The one i had on my phone is the same one you attached
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
"Power regulator and other driver changes from JVB"

is that mean better battery life? i know the battery life is suppose to be in the kernal but idk xD can someone tell me what he means by this?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Atinm indicated it "might" help in his update announcement. I flashed update a few hours ago but I can't tell yet if it's any better.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
keep me posted please =)
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
battery usage is still the same till a kernal is being made from the source and then we will see some improvement in battery.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Maybe. We're not done yet - it was one of the things we've added, but there will be more.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
nice work !cant wait tell cm7 is done xD best U.I out there for surrr
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Anybody else getting lots of FCs when using location/places on the latest version of Facebook?
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
The latest facebook doesn't work with cm7. if you go into a profile it will fc. just revert to the previous version and i'll work again
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
does anyone have the apk for the old version of facebook?

The version attached WORKS
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I have a cyan facebook 1.5.1 I'm not even sure what the current one is... I just know I couldn't post my always hilarious status >_<

***

I'm unable to post it from my phone :o:(
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
last working version (which i switched to today) is 1.5.2. Attached it.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
1.5.2 has the bug I tested it today
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
use facebook mobile they upgraded it.. except for chat its probably better then the app.
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
Correct me if I'm wrong. If I wanted to try the 0421 release is it ok to flash it and replace kernels?

Would I need to swap over sensor libs too?
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
you could do that but the 4/21 release major fixes were kernel related.

so it would be pointless
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
0421 release? isn't it on 0420 ?
[Captivate Android Development] Houka420:
0421 was just released 30mins ago.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
okay thanks gonna upgrade to 0421 now
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Lost all my widgets when upgrading to 4/21. Not sure why and no big deal. I'm excited to see what difference the new drivers make!
[Captivate Android Development] guidogoni:
I had no problem upgrading to 4/21, just did wipe cache and dalvik jic, hope this helps the battery as it was hoped on twitter :)

Will test for a couple of days before flashing back kang and undervolting
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I'm just wondering if anyone is having any issues with the gospel after the last few updates. I knew it was working great when I first switched to CM7 back in February. This could be due to a recent switch to the Platypus kernel from Kang's kernel, but I have barely been able to get a lock today. I just wanted to check and see.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Lol @ gospel...auto predict fail?
[Captivate Android Development] n0stalgia:
Are the changes in the 4/20 and 4/21 builds kernel-based? Will they be nullified by flashing a custom kernel that hasn't integrated the upstream changes?
[Captivate Android Development] Owais1437:
so

so can you just flash this rom like any other rom, or are their are some extra steps
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
just updated......and i don't know about anyone else but for me. Angry birds used to lag whenever the ad's came up......first thing i try out with the updated GPU driver is angry birds and tada, no more lag.

Just gonna run this new build with stock kernel and stuff instead of flashing a diff one as i usually do to get undervolt
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Lol, yes. Apparently SwiftKey has some learning to do.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Read the OP. There are more steps to it.
[Captivate Android Development] Notorious K.I.P.:
YouTube video is black screen after 4-21 update.

After installing the 4/21 nightly and clearing both the cache & the Dalvik cache; when I attempt to view a video in the YouTube app I get the sound but no image.

Anyone else running into this?

Can't live without videos of kittens on treadmills. :p

Uninstalled YouTube & Re-installed. Still same problem.

Low priority.
[Captivate Android Development] purplebear:
I got video with no issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Notorious K.I.P.:
Crap, now it's working.

I'm an idiot.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Anything special you did? Or was iit user error?
[Captivate Android Development] Notorious K.I.P.:
Honestly, the darn thing fixed itself. I'm sure it waited until I posted the message to start working.

A couple of On/Off-s, but that was about it. Maybe a half hour to an hour after flashing the 4/21 nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
I have been off cm7 for a bit while I work on my stuff.

Just wondering if the new gpu fixes help with the laggy videos.

Or is it a codec issue still.
[Captivate Android Development] GMDgt:
Can I go from the 4/15 nightly to the 4/21 without flashing 4/20 and still get the updated power regulator?
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
Yes. The updates are cumulative.

[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Yes and yes.

[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
try Mobo (Video) Player

that one's the best so far

cuts cpu usage by half and runs more smoothly

some (few) videos are still laggy but they seem to have an exotic format or something
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
Somewhere in the thread I thought I read that using the KB1 modem with this ROM would make the call quality worse, just wanted to verify that before I flashed the KB1 modem.

has anyone used the KB1 modem with this ROM. Could you please let me know.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
what does the new gpu update entail?
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
The best modem for battery and call quality is jk4
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
Does the JK4 modem reduce the background noise on the cappy ?
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I dont have background noise issues.

But no it doesn't have that chip, however cm is built on i9000 and converted to work on the cappy so the chip would work but the kerne; would not know what to do, and voice probably wont work anyway
[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
This is subjective. I'm using the newer KC1 and I find myself having better battery life with equivalent sound quality.
[Captivate Android Development] Jemack:
I also use kc1 with no issue. Been on it for about 2 weeks now. Good modem imho.
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
I didn't see kc1 in the teamhacksung files, where can I get it?
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Download the non-CM version and drop the modem.bin into one of the CM-compatible zips.
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
Thank you sir!
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I'm liking jq1, myself.
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
gonna try out kc1 over jk4
[Captivate Android Development] smackdownn:
Is the signal polling problem fixed?
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Has anyone experimented with JVB or JVK modems yet? Do they support 850?

I'm curious, as I'm running KC1 with no issues as of right now, and wonder if the GB native modems are better.
[Captivate Android Development] jwlsinx:
I tried JVK for a few days, but signal strength just wasn't as good as the JL2/3 line. KC1 looks really good too from what I've seen since I flashed it.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
My modem history is the following since Froyo dropped:

Whatever leaked Froyo stock was...

UGJK3

TLJL3

UGJK4

UGJL2

ZNKP1

then CM7 drops...

UGJL2

ZNKP1

UGJL2

UGKC1

Is there actually a JVB modem also? I'm debating whether to slap together a quick JVK or JVB modem zip just for some testing. I do need WCDMA850 in my area though; I think that it may lack its support as you suggest the weakened signal strength present in yours.
[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
can someone please make kc1 modem zip.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Here's a zip for KC1.

I flashed it and didn't get half the dl speed I got with JL2/JL3, so away it went. I am in LA so if you're not, YMMV.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Noob question, how do I get to download mode to go back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
From the toop of my head and it might be wrong.

open odin

hold both volume buttons

insert usb
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
That's what I'm doing but it's not working, should I freak out?
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
this is all I got. sorry:o

Turn the phone off then Hold Vol Up and Down then plug the usb while holding those.

or

try a search
[Captivate Android Development] Jemack:
Open odin

Pull battery

Plug usb to phone only

Insert battery

Hold volume up + volume down

Plug usb into computer while still holding both volume buttons

Should work.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Wow I'm an idiot I was trying to get into recovery with my USB cable on the charger instead of in my laptop I did'nt even notice until now. ::facepalm:: lol thanks anyways guy lol.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
Try going to recovery and going into download mode there
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Haha, it happens, least you got it.
[Captivate Android Development] ClaPik:
you guys have any suggestions about a good OV kernel?? thanks :D
[Captivate Android Development] PearsonDKA:
Check out escapist kernel. Did me some good when I was using cm 7
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I have used kc1 for some time on cm and one thing I have to say is carry a charger I was getting after a week about 10h battery life with light use
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
Odd

I wonder if I'm doing something wrong - but everytime I flash any radio other than KB1 my signal goes up and down erratically and I get a slew of radio_dump files on my sdcard.

Any advice?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
CM issue, not the modem :p.

I've had about the same (crappy) battery life with KC1, JL3, and JK4. Helps to have 3 batteries.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
Then how come when I switched to jk4 my battery life doubled?
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Maybe it has to do with where you live. Here, they're equal.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
on a non cm7 rom it was the other way around
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Weird...how long did you test each? Maybe there was a difference in usage, even if you didn't notice it.

They're both Froyo "Aries" modems being used on Gingerbread, so it shouldn't be a compatibility thing.

Keypad issue when calling ?

Hi.

I have a poblem with keypad when calling. I am calling customer service of my bank or my vodafone or any servise.. it says please dial your password or credit card number and then I am dialing my password but it isnt perceive/sense dialed number.. and customer servise say that : system isnt perceive/sense your dialed key tone.. I tried many times but it never perceive..

What can I do ? anyone has that issue too ?

soryy for my bad english :S

sounds good....i think tomorrow i will redo everything again also now that i have it down.

I'm so excited about this though, i feel like i have barely scratched the surface with all the settings. It is unbelievable.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Just a small noob Q before flashing this build...I think download and Odin will bring phone back to stock from CM7, right?

I was waiting for a long tome for this one. I was trying to sync the repo almost since day 1 but was somehow getting an error at 98% :( but now almost everything is ready to use..I am so excited :D
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
make sure to read the first post closely!
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
I have to say I'm VERY impressed with this. It blows the doors off of every FroYo rom EVAR. Even with the few known bugs, its a masterpiece of speed and smoothness. Haven't had one random reboot yet, and only a couple random FCs. I haven't felt the way I do now about my Captivate since the day I bought it. BIG UPS to everyone involved in this, and expect a fatty donation when this passes RC status!

[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
Thanks - your answers are much appreciated.

RTL is right to left, sorry for not being any clearer.

Arabic there by any chance? Heard it was supposed to be supported natively on GB...
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
I think this should be left up to the phone user.. I know that a lot of people may not agree to this, esp devs - for liability issues, but then you can consider it like talking on the phone without handsfree and driving. It's undebatable that it's pretty much illegal everywhere, can any developer be held liable for anyone who has their ROM installed to his/her phone and talks non-handsfree while driving?

Nope..

Things like these are features, leaving them up to the user whether to enable or not is much more flexible..
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Why is it 900 steps to flash this opposed to some of the other roms?
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
I know there was some info in one of the posts about using additional themes through Theme Manager. I perused this thread and saw different people having different results with one saying Alpha 2 only worked. So, does this work with this release? This is pretty slick if it does.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943423
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Because this is still a work in progress. It's actually quite easy. After you flash the kernel, it's just like flashing any other ROM.

Of course you can always wait for a 1 step release.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
If you use one click back to stock. Normal Odin wont work.

Also, anyone interested in a kernel with bln, oc/uv, and maybe voodoo fixes? They can't be merged upstream, but I may throw together one on the side.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
I'm using that theme right now and it's working just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
I think a lot of people are interested. I am personally waiting until one with all you mentioned is released. I would have jumped on CM7 earlier if it wasn't for voodoo sound and the battery life I'm getting on suckerpunch.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Bln and voodoo sound would be nice. Not much interested in Oc/uv
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Oc/UV would help with battery life. I *think* there is a tool in cm, but ill have to do more research. I've never used voodoo, except the lagfix, but I know they can't be merged upstream, so you would have to have a separate kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I will kill for an OCing kernel ...it is the only thing preventing me from trying this but if you get an OCing kernel going...I am IN!! :D
[Captivate Android Development] citrit:
I have been using the CM7 since yesterday and I haven't seen a reboot or any real errors. I was able to connect to WIFI, my bluetooth, play music and navigation worked pretty well also. Besides a few wierd behaviors, like Touchdown send button on emails won;t work but the menu send option does, the installed apps are working fine. I did not experience any crashes, sorry I will try harder. ;-)

The big pain is battery life, I was at 15% after 14 hours and 6 were sleeping. Other than that it has been a great ride.

FYI.

PS. I love the shutdown animation. Reminds me of the old days...
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Quick request. Could we keep this to Discussion about CM7 and it's installation, bugs, etc?

I know many people want kernel stuff, but that's just not part of CM. Maybe start a dedicated thread for that.
[Captivate Android Development] cchant:
Because CM7 requires clockworkmod 3 which is included in the required kernel because CM7 install script has commands in it that older recoveries do not recognize. Once you've done the initial kernel flash and installed the initial zip CM7 is very easy to update with the ota zips. Even better they don't require system wipes so you don't have to waste time setting your phone back up.

The initial process is a one time deal as long as you don't go back to stock after you've installed CM7
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Yep, battery seems to be the biggest issue for me as well. I have noticed that depending on when I build it gets better or worse. About 2 weeks ago I was getting great battery life, now it's just so-so.
[Captivate Android Development] abezapata:
what kind of wipe am i supposed to do when i get to that step? a factory reset wipe or a cache wipe??? a quick answer will be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Are the touch tones on the dialer working with the latest nightly? Mine seem to have stopped working.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
same usages 1-2 weeks each
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Try clearing cache.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Haven't seen this reported for the new nightly, and it may not even continue, but this morning I woke up and my phone was frozen on the boot animation screen. Battery was at ~20% when I plugged it in last night. It was more or less full after I pulled battery then rebooted.

This is the first it has happened, but we'll see what happens tomorrow. Just wanted to see if it happened to anyone else.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
Is this a common problem? When I switch from 3g to 2g my phone works for few hours then it looses signal from the network (not getting any reception). I tried wiping the cache, dalvic and data but it doesn't work unless I do a fresh install from stock rom to CM7, then I would get a reception again. I'm using JL4 could this be related to that.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Are you using the 2g/3g toggle? That's never worked.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
Did you mean that it doesn't work as it doesn't switch you from 3g to 2g or you mean that if I use the toggle that it will mess up my reception.?
[Captivate Android Development] jbinc:
Hey, anyone know of why the "home button" doesn't take me back to my default home screen when i press it after installing CM7? It worked for about an hour, then just stopped. I tried checking the CM7 settings, but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks all!

and yes i'm aware i may need to change my signature after installing CM7..lol
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Go into to ADW settings/gestures/home button binding and check the setting.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Means that it messes stuff up (like phone.apk constantly force closing).

Did you restore data from TiBu? Seems if you restore any system data, it messes up the touchkeys.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
thank you TheEscapist for answering my question i really appreciate it. is there a way i can use 2g without messing up my reception?

also i have 2 newbee question...

1. the newest nightly update has all the update combine from beginning to the end right?... i don't have to do each nightly update..

2 for the spare parts app when i change the font size to small or extra small it goes back to normal size again after 5 minutes or so is that normal?
