You missed step 16.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
going to look now I was gonna check it out and i didn't know what gapps was and step 16 said OPTIONAL so I didn't think about anyways thanks guys
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Its optional because you dont NEED google apps installed to use your device.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Thats it..next person that installs this and says there is no market gets murdered! :D :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Overheats in car dock

Gets really hot when in car dock. In navigation get overtemperature warning, charger turns off, but still gets very hot. Navigation is really good though!
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Yeah has anyone been able to get the android lock with the four sliders
[Captivate Android Development] APE992:
I finally got this damn thing to install on my Captivate:

1) Made a copy of all data from the internal SD card mounted on my laptop.

2) Master clear, wiped everything.

3) Odin to stock 2.1

4) Rooted

5) Rom manager ->flash CWM

6) Find out 3 button recovery doesn't work

7) Download OTA update

8) Have OTA update fail and reboot

9) Find 3 button recovery now somehow works

10) Do steps 1-8

11) Figure out instructions intend you to put phone into download mode

12) Download mode ->CM7 kernel

13) Flash cm7-captivate-initial-20110318.zip

14) WHEEEE IT FINALLY BOOTS

15) Flash update-cm-7-04152011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip -> reboot

16) Restore Market and go to town

Not sure why the first three attempts at flashing this failed, I'm guessing some variation of the above caused the problem the first time around such as forcing the phone into download mode via a USB jig instead of using a 3 button combo?

i9000 SAMSUNG GINGERBREAD SOURCES RELEASED!!!!

Now *that* will help the devs..... and yes, even tho it is i9000 source, it will help us cap users out too..... now let them work!! Dont ask!!

=))
[Captivate Android Development] gudduseon:
FYI.......

http://opensource.samsung.com/

I9000 GB source released
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
Does this mean a more stable cm7 even though right now its stable already lol.
[Captivate Android Development] yamaki123:
lol, cm7 stability and battery consumption still not optimized as good as other roms.

hope this official source release would bring cm7 to real life usage.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
Imo its already good for a daily rom. Been using it for a couple of days and nothing wrong with it, the battery usage isn't that bad but as long as it gets me through the day its fine by me. But with the source being released this should mean good news for the devs to help cm7 much more usable
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
Offical GB source released.
[Captivate Android Development] 60hzrumble:
+1, although it gets hot in every ROM for me not just CM7. Probably due to screen on max brightness and charging at the same time, plus being on the dash in the sun. I haven't had problems with it overheating and shutting down, but it does get pretty toasty.

Wonder if using one of the undervolting kernals might help?
[Captivate Android Development] momulah:
Well at least it doesn't create those oil spill looking rainbows on your screen like htc phones. That's the one thing I hate about htc's screens. They arent covered without a fight when it happens!! Super Amoled is the best. Let's see what apple can come with neext.

XDA presents....Captivate S4G
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Yep I returned a HTC Tilt 2 due to that issue and I had to write a very convincing letter about it...that was horrible on the screen.
[Captivate Android Development] xnoctis93:
running platypus kernel and an older april build of cm7 for cappy, lately i've been having an issue where when listening to music, it will every so often cut out for a split second in the middle of the second and then go back to normal. any ideas?

edit: forgot to mention phone is overclocked to 1.2Ghz
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
never had this issue but i am running the most recent build 4/15
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
we don't take bug reports on old builds or custom kernels.

edit: let me rephrase that. please update to the latest build first, find if it's still occuring with stock ROM/kernel. if it is, please open an issue on the issue tracker with logs (logcat, dmesg). if it isn't, then go back to your custom setup, see if it still happens there, report to the owner of your kernel.

[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
Why?
[Captivate Android Development] acrazzyhobo:
because i have a flashing problem and the only way to fix it is more flashing
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Probably since the I9000's got an official gingerbread release from Samsung and the hoped that some of the source code will help the CM7 development.

Sent from My KickAss Captivated CM7 OC'd 1.4Ghz/Undervolted
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
don't obsessively watch this thread. mostly what the source has enabled is the ability to tidy up some of what came in as well as clean up what we already had. some minor tweaks have already been found relating to camera voltages, GPIO's, and various configs. on top of that we recently came into contact (thanks to the MIUI team) with an improved 3D driver (no more lag on quadrant!) so there's that.

don't expect a release today, there's too much to go through and verify before anything is going to be shared. tomorrow would be an (overly) optimistic guess of when you can expect a release.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I was wondering can we use the i9000 themes for CM7 on captivate??

eg : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977374
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Yes most of those are working great for me. I like Steele Blue the best but there are quite some nice ones.
[Captivate Android Development] Jemack:
I have also tried most of them and they do work. Rover red remix is the one for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
these aren't "themes for the i9000"... they're themes for the tmobile theme engine which is a part of CM7. anything using the tmobile theme engine will work. there are a lot more in the "general" android themes section.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I was asking because I downloaded a theme few days ago and when i tried to apply it, gave me an error saying the theme doesn't have resources to match screen size or something like that....nvm.

Thanks all of you for the information!!!
[Captivate Android Development] BL4zD:
Just a guess...but platypus kernels have script that switches the phone into powersave governor when the screen is off. That will have it operating at the lowest frequency that you've set, so could account for the stuttering. Check if it stops when the screen is on (when the phone is either using ondemand or conservative governor depending on your kernel version).
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
It may not be as nice looking as beautiful widgets, but have you tried the included clock application in landscape as an alarm clock? there is even a night mode that dims it down nicely and hides the notification bar.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
What about recording video in 720p@30FPS? Wouldn't you be able to get that from the source?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no? the possibility for it working already exists in the kernel, it's the application we use that isn't up to par yet.
[Captivate Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
I9000 source should be released soon if not already which should contribute for development purposes.

Personally i wouldnt answer questions in this thread considering youve already made cm7 more than fuctional as a daily driver.

I set you work up for a friend awhile ago and he hasnt complained since, pre 4/10/11 updates. Just enjoy your phone and development.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Oh, okay. I see. :)
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
wow do you live under a rock?

LOLit was released last night.
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
So i have a question/problem that I don't THINK has been addressed in this forum yet.

My PC recognizes my phone just fine, the drivers are installed correctly (as far as I know): however, the Android SDK application does not recognize my phone when I preform the "adb devices" command.

So my question is: Is there a known conflict between our CM7 and Android SDK, or is there a user error on my part?
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
check if the USB debugging is ON in the development ...
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
Yep, it's on.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
hmmm....then may be reboot or reinstalling the latest nightly may fix this, because I know it works for sure....I was playing with it yesterday and I could see the device.....I don;t know if is has something to do with android ID....?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Did you install the google USB driver package rev 4 from the sdk manager? If not you need to to use ADB.
[Captivate Android Development] xnoctis93:
I need some quick advice... i was using my phone today on cm7 (platypus kernel) and i started getting a loop of a fc for android.phone closing over and over. I cleared dalvik cache, system, data, and sd i think it was..no luck, and did a factory reset and my phone now just boots to the galaxy s / CM7 splash screen and stays stuck there. what should I do?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Re-flash the latest nightly, I always keep it on my internal SD for just such emergencies.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Did you toggle 2g/3g? That's what happened when I hit the toggle on accident.

Sent from my CM7 powered captivate
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
Yes, I have the driver package rev 4 already installed. In fact, I deleted my SDK folder completely and reinstalled everything, and SDK still will not recognize my phone in it's list of devices.

I also reinstalled the latest nightly as well, but this also did not fix the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I wanted to ask about the efs backup zip. What exactly does it do. I mean, it backs up /efs to /sdcard/backups, as I can see from the script. But how would we go about restoring this? Just curious, I'm about to flash this :)

Also anything at all wrong with music listening? And some sort of EQ included like CM6.1 had, as far as I remember?
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Would it be possible to eventually use sgs-kernel-flasher instead?
[Captivate Android Development] g1ddy:
It has the old default android music player (I tried installing the new one from google's IO conference but it wouldn't work). And yes it does have an equalizer but you lose out on voodoo sound unless you manage to install the new CM7 kernel that was modified to include voodoo sound
[Captivate Android Development] Breakin' Ranh:
Nope, just restored games/apps. I know better then not to do that ;) (Eclair=>Froyo has taught me that once, and never again.)
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
When you flash the initial rom package it restores the efs as part of the process.

DSP manager is installed and stock music payer.... sounds fine =)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it's used for initial flash to place on the MTD partitions

sgs-kernel flasher doesn't work with CM7 kernels (even says so in the app description on the market). it's up to him to figure out why.

hmm, interesting, I'm not quite sure then as I've never encountered this problem in any builds =/
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Thanks for the responses guys :) Really appreciate it!
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
I'm guessing there's no option to change what buttons there are on the notification bar like the old cm6.1 build? or am i just blind lol

I fail.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
settings, cyanogenmod settings, interface, notification power widget, widget buttons
[Captivate Android Development] brendanmurphy:
At first my screen did not show the yellowish tint that 2.3.3 was suppose to bring but once i reboot its got the yellowish tint and its killing me. Can anyone mod the kernel with the fix supercurio made ?
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
ahh! i thought i edited fast enough! damn you kaik and yo fast typing skills
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
i was sooo excited to try this out....never ran a CM rom, but when i saw this was getting close to a RC, i had to try it out

Wow, let's just say that the CM Settings tab in the settings menu is what i have been dreaming of for a LONGG time!! This is absolutely amazing.

Only problem i have had so far is with the camera app. The orientation was correct the first time, then orientation was wrong, and then it like froze and only opened on the top left corner of the screen leaving the other 3/4 of the screen black. Weird.

Cannot thank everyone involved with this enough though! I now realize the hype behind this, and can see how much work is going into it. Thank you all!!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
there are prebuilt kernels/zips available on kangsterizer's github that include voodoo sound v2 and voodoo color

I have been deputized by atinm to deal with the end users... I am impossible to beat :D
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
Ok i've messed around with this most of the evening now and i've got a bunch of observations.

Since people want to hear success stories coming from similar setups, here is what I came from:

-Paragon RC 6.0 with stock kernel

-3 button combo broken

Applied DesignGears 3 button fix and flashed according to directions and was met with little resistance.

Impressions:

-This grows on you. I LOVED paragon. Snappy, fast, great developer, everything you could want in a ROM. This is just as snappy for me!

-ADW sucks. Dunno why but I love launcher pro. Nice, clean, responsive and very customizable. Is customizable even a word?

-There are tons of settings. Take your time going through everything and trying different combinations of settings. Really starts to work well when you get everything just how you like.

Post Flash Additions:

Since this is an AOSP ROM its very bare bones and I love that. Would rather have a clean slate to start with than....whatever touchwiz is? Here are some things I've done tonight others might be interested in.

Swype: Installed easily. Go to beta.swype.com and register and follow their instructions. I used the 10MB version.

Honeycomb Music Player: Downloaded from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917365 looks very cool! Both google body and honeycomb youtube failed to install (not surprising!) but was worth a try.

VOIP: Disappointed that google has not yet integrated google calling with android but hey, thats how it works. Was able to easily get free VOIP calling over 3g and wifi with a simple setup. Its detailed here(sorta): http://lifehacker.com/#!5349506/make-free-voip-calls-from-google-voice

did that setup previously with a softphone on my PC. This time I just logged into sipgate, grabbed the credentials, put them in gingerbread as a SIP account and chose it as primary. Then download google voice callback from the market. Can turn in internet calling and make/recieve calls over the internet from the dialer now. All you have to do is pickup when google calls you. I have tasker and think I could probably get it to auto pickup (apparently 2.3 stops this practice?) but answering a phone call after dialing is a small hardship i'm able to endure while working in a basement.

Bugs:

I don't seem to be having any bugs at all. I used wifi a bit earlier and changed wifi sleep policy to "never" after some early reports. Also, no problem with camera (done test video and photos) or orientation (switches to/from portrait mode just fine). One tip: if you're getting FC's check the market for an update. Beautiful widgets was crashing for me and not loading my home screens until I updated. Now it works great!

Overall i'm loving this and the inherent risks in switching back to froyo I will probably make me keep this for awhile. Hopefully we can figure out how to get some of those cool honeycomb apps ported over (isn't that what gingerbread 2.4 is supposed to do?) Youtube and that video editor look very cool!
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
Is it possible to run GTG Touchwhiz launcher on CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
here's where I start getting annoyed. time number 4 of me saying this. *ahem*

ANYTHING REQUIRING SAMSUNG'S TOUCHWIZ FRAMEWORK WILL (BEYOND 99% CERTAINTY) NOT WORK
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
damn.. i totally forgot i won't have BLN anymore.. boo.

I guess this is more of a reason to see the animation on/off :>
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
weird that JMBradd is having no problems with the camera....it is completely unusable for me as of now. After many reboots, it opens the app but just shows a black screen as what the camera is picking up. Video has yet to work....
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Cameras working good here too. The first time I installed CM7 I had a lot of issues and a few were with the camera but since I redid it all again making sure to follow every step perfectly it's been pretty bug free so far for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Breakin' Ranh:
It's alright, this is a test build, anything can happen, and I just wanted to let the Captivate community know. And by the way, has anyone encountered "SD Card unexpectingly removed, insert new sd card followed by a Damaged sd card, reformat may be required?" Because now I cannot use my external sd card >.< Thanks for the fast reply, you are a typing machine good sir!
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Windows? If so, you probably need to reinstall the drivers, and select the directory that your rev 4 package downloaded to.

The reason is that for all intents and purposes your phone is a Nexus S now, so you need the Nexus S usb driver.

I believe this is mentioned in the CM7 thread OP.

Edit: Yup, it's there. It just doesn't tell you that you need to re-install drivers in Windows (hardware manager)
[Captivate Android Development] xnoctis93:
l don't have access to the latest nightly currently since i'm not near a computer but on my sd card is april 02 2011 update cm7 nightly which i tried flashing...i got installation aborted E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7-04022011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed-zip (status 7) ...:confused:

CM7 for captivate with JVK modem and 850 band

Can the ServiceMode apk file (what loads when you dial *#0011# on stock ROMs) be loaded (using Root Explorer) on CM7 to enable 850 with a modem like JVK? I'm not currently running CM7 otherwise I'd check myself. Couldn't find other information about this in the forum. If the answer to this isn't obvious / known, then I can provide the ServiceMode file for someone to try.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
U might just have to flash to stock in this case.
[Captivate Android Development] APE992:
I got a looping problem too but from a different cause. I installed FireFox from the market with all going well until I setup sync with FireFox. Came back after it had done the initial setup and it kept looping through the boot-up animation occasionally dropping to the first screen you see when it finishes booting then going back into the animation loop.

Formatted system, data and cache then reinstalled nightly and it got it working right up until I used recovery to install a gapps zip I got from CM7 somewhere in their file repository (not Sourceforge). This particular gapps zip worked fine last night but each time I wipe, install nightly then install gapps it goes back into an animation loop.

This time I didn't install gapps and the phone is happily sitting here charging. Have no damn clue why FireFox set it off or why the gapps zip is doing it too. Bonus is that all but three of my contacts were somehow wiped from my gmail account last night around the time I installed CM7. Probably coincidence but extremely frustrating.
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
I've had the drivers installed for quite some time, I can mount both my SD and ext-SD.

I did however see something new that I've never notice/seen before, in the 'safely remove hardware' window there is a "Android Composite ADB Interface" device, listed at location 0
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
simply downloading the USB drivers isn't the same as installing them. on top of that, you've never needed the USB drivers to simply mount/unmount the SD cards. follow the instructions in the Q&A on how to actually *install* the drivers, not just download them.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
I'm experiencing the same thing as Yogi. I had the Nexus S drivers downloaded and installed and ADB worked on earlier builds but stopped at some point. Last night I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and nothing changed. My phone shows up as a captivate on my end and not a Nexus S anymore so I'm sure it's something up with windows and the drivers. Actually now that I'm writing this I remember at one point after a certain nightly I plugged my phone in and windows acted like it never saw this device before and trying to install drivers from the web. When I look at the drivers however it shows the google Nexus S drivers so who knows. I'll keep playing with it and if I fix it I'll post what went wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] APE992:
Unless something has gone horribly wrong on Windows' end there is no way it'll "confuse" a Captivate with a Nexus S. The phone could easily be reporting itself as a Captivate for some reason I suppose.

I'd suggest wiping every driver you have installed and starting fresh. Completely wipe them off your drive. Paranoia seems to work well for these matters. Seems most of the time when I think I've erased a driver Windows 7 still has it hoarded away somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] mwiz123:
Plz help can't get the market phone won't go into recovery so I can't flash
[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
How did you install cm7 if you can't go into recovery?

ok, then go talk in those threads, not here. we have no interest in samsung's ROM's.

yes, we all did, we are using the nexus s's market fingerprint so it thinks we're a nexus s.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
I just thought it was funny and btw you didn't have to be so rude to that dude. Maybe he just didn't know that all everyone want to talk about was cm7.I mean is really that big of a deal, and If you have no interest samsung's rom's. Then why the did you buy a samsung phone?
