Low power mode is important to me for properly calibrating the battery.

It also is important to me because I cant have my phone plugged in and reboot it into any sort of recovery mode / download mode using the hardware buttons to do so.

So just flash over Apex using CWM(recovery)? And I can revert if I want to go back again by just flashing over?

I'm getting some conflicting information here :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No if you want to revert to a different ROM you will need to use Odin to repartition your phone. the Odin once click will do it.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
yes, you can flash over to come to cm7, no, its not quite as simple to go off cm... you have to repartition using the pit file. There are now easy odin and heimdall packages available tho, so its still fairly simple.....
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Perfect! Thanks again for the straightforward info.

I will do my homework on these odin/heimdall packages (not too worried since don't need to flash BLs) and will definitely try CM7.

Thanks everyone!
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
This sounds very interesting!

I have no problem booting into recovery while plugged using either the gui or the buttons. You just need to know when to release the buttons.

So where is CM7 now for speed, reliability and features when it is compared to other ROMs. I had horrid battery life back on build 36 and there were too many glitches to use as a daily phone. What is the state now...

Darky 10.2 has too many bugs...
[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
I also had not used CM7 since the 30's and last week flashed build 80 and I couldn't be more pleased. Everything isn't perfect but it is a lot more stable and smooth than any of the current i9000 based roms are on my captivate. The only rom that is as stable for me is Cognition 5 but CM7 features and smoothness mean I will be keeping cm7 on here for the foreseeable future.
[Captivate Android Development] curti.nogg:
Iirc cm7 does not allow the phone to be charged with the phone off as a feature.

[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Mmhmm, I was reading the changelog/code review. Big changes coming. Any chance of adding voodoo color in the future? Now with oc/uv in the stock kernel VC is the only thing that would make me want to continue using a third party one. The display (on my captivate at least, can't speak for anyone else) is way too blue on stock, and the built in render effects don't help cause they're too yellow.

TVout

Has anyone had any kind of success with the TVout function in the Settings -> Display section using a GB rom on the captivate? I've tried different kernels (Glitch and Kernel of the Day) that mentioned TVout upstream changes but the option still doesn't show up in the display settings. Any ideas? I haven't seen it discussed for a long time so I thought I'd bring it back up.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
That is some VERY GOOD NEWS. I had seen the commits or pulls or something for the kernel that Escapist name on it but didn't know what that would entail. That is way cool news to have it right out of the box. Also charging in power off will be really cool. Thanks for keeping up the work, we totally appreciate it.

Okay, so to go back to the CM kernel from kang's, I would have to flash a whole bunch of different junk. Two parter.

A. Would it be possible to do it through CWM?

B. Where would I find/learn to make something like this?

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

So if we are starting from stock Samsung, before we follow the instructions to flash CM7, we should flash another rom, enable HSPA, and then flash CM7?

Yes.

Firefly is a good ROM to start with.

I did. I flashed the rom twice, and both times I did it. Both times I got the same thing, after following the instructions to the letter. After about half an hour, my home/search buttons do not work (single press vibrates to no response, I never get the second vibrate in long press). I have to back out of everything. My orientation is fine. My headphones are fine. I don't think I flashed the wrong kernel. I'll probably try it a third time just to see.

Ya I read through this entire thread a couple times now. All I see are kang's zip file, and what I would need to flash to come back to CM's original kernel. I was just looking for a way to come back without an entire re install of CM. I just dont know how to package the original kernel to flash it.

[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
I flashed doc's rom, dialed the HSPA number, but now I don't know how to check or change my hspa status. After I dial *#301279#, I have two options. [1] allows me to display hspa info. If I click that, I don't know how to tell if it is enabled or disabled, because it doesn't say it anywhere. If I click on [2], which allows me to change hspa revision, and then on that screen I click on [1], which says "release r99 (hspa off)", I just have two options: "change_R99" and "HSDPA off, HSUPA off". But if I click either, nothing happens.

So how do I turn HSPA off?

I saw that, but it tells how to disable hspa, not how to enable it. I can't tell from these instructions how to determine if it is enabled or disabled on my phone, and I can't seem to change anything by dialing *#301279#. Whenever I press any of the options after dialing that number, I see no changes. It seems like all I can do select things to view, not to change.

Heh, I'm on Rogers' 6gb data plan and download every nightly (since february) on data, around 3gb/month. Makes me happy knowing I'm getting my moneys worth ;)
[Captivate Android Development] PizzaAmerican23:
does it really matter if i choose captivate (MTD)? I choose that and then it tells me ROM manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation.

I then choose reboot into recovery to make sure it works and all i see id 2e recovery. I choose reinstall packages, and it does nothing. Then i just reboot the phone.

I flashed back to JF6 with one click and used super one click to root it.

I installed rom manager from the market. I planned on just booting into recovery, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache and then just manually choosing to flash the rom via CWM. (i put the latest nightly on my sd)

Can i just try a different version of CWM or will it mess it up? I used to use galaxy s captivate.

Also is this really all i need to do? No changing kernels or anything?

EDIT: Just went ahead and did it. Everything seems fine. Lemme know if i unknowingly messed up.
[Captivate Android Development] PizzaAmerican23:
Heads up to everyone

DO NOT USE THE 2G/3G TOGGLE!!!!!!!

It made my phone give repeated force closes. I had to completely wipe it to get it back to normal.

I found someone had the same problem here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24241-2g3g-toggle/ (sorry if im not supposed to link to other forums)
[Captivate Android Development] Thesandlord:
AFAIK, there has been no more work done on TV out aside from some preliminary work. I think its a driver issue now, no cm7 based Rom or kernel has it.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
since a number of people in this thread have been bashed for not thoroughly reading the instructions in the OP before asking questions, i did so, so as to not repeat their mistakes, but there is a discrepancy between the instructions located on this thread and those located in others, including the instructions on how to install the RC1 build of this rom. In those instructions, it says to format the CACHE, DATA, and SYSTEM partitions, whereas on this thread it only says to perform a factory reset and to wipe the CACHE partition. A factory reset, using CWM, only formats DATA, DBDATA, and CACHE. not the SYSTEM. im wondering if there is a reason these instructions do not have you format the sysytem, whereas the other instructions so. it should be noted that i concluded what exactly a factory reset does by performing one from cwm and reading the scrolling text in the recovery menu that states what is currently happening.

also, on a side note, it should also be noted that wiping the cache after doing a factory reset seems redundant, seeing as a factory reset does that.

sorry for the long post, but i would really like to know if wiping the system partition is important or not. thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
I've had this but I'm not entirely sure it was just because of the 2g/3g toggle. After one backup restore I decided not to toggle and enable another theme.

On a more recenter version (75) I've toggled and enabled the same theme - no issues whatsover.

Running nightly 88 and after the reboot in CWM I got the LPM hahaha I expected it to reboot but it was nice to see LPM works :)

Will give a spin on the OC/UV today and I'm quite confident. Every other week I look around the "cooked ROMs" and everytime I do not flash. I try MIUI now and then and always regret it. It's just slower than CM7 for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Just flashed 88 and noticed the same thing: I was pleasantly surprised to see the return of the "ChargingWhileOffBattery" (LPM), but I also wasn't expecting to see it after a reboot.

IIRC, it's only supposed to do that after a SHUTDOWN (not reboot) if the phone is charging, but it's been so long since I've run a stock samsung ROM that I can't remember what the expected behavior is.

Be careful here, ATT is going to start throttling the highest 5% of their unlimited data plan users.

Its pretty sad because this really isnt about to many resources/bits being downloaded/uploaded at one time for their network (if it was, this would be based on the amount of data used - ie. 5GB / month rather than the top 5%), imagine if EVERYONE on their network used for one month 1 GB of data or less, the people that used near the 1 GB of data would be throttled (this is exactly why it isnt about data usage).

[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
The general rule of thumb (and is the case for Cyanogen as well) is that an Odin back to Eclair 2.1 is HIGHLY recommended. Personally, I would also do a master clear in Odin as well (so, after Odin has done its thing, close Odin, unplug the phone, re-open Odin, plug in the phone, Odin should show a Com port for the phone, click Master Clear in the bottom right of Odin - this MAY require having USB Debugging enabled - Settings>Applications>USB Debugging, I cant remember).

After going back to stock 2.1, master clearing, I generally reboot one last time and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache (under advanced in the clockwork recovery menu), wipe battery stats & fix permissions for good measure (altho all of the stuff in recovery is probably redundant because a master clear probably takes care of all this), then I boot the phone back up into Eclair, enable USB Debugging and use AIO to flash the rom (AIO takes care of getting a clockwork recovery on the phone without having to root the stock Eclair rom, setup my Google account, download and install rom manager, install recovery menu). With AIO, I can have my phone flashed to stock and cleared of all data in about 6 minutes and have Cyanogen installed in another 4 minutes.

So, in short, an Odin back to stock is all you really need, if you want everything squeaky clean, do a master clear as well (this will help with making sure your applications have plenty of storage).

Oh, and I also would recommend using the latest nightly instead of the RC (so when you flash, use the latest cm_captivatemtd_full-###.zip). Alot of stuff has been changed/added/fixed/tweaked since that RC and the nightly has everything you need in one little file (with exception to Gapps - make sure you grab this as well).

And yes, I know this doesnt exactly answer your question, since I dont have the install script for Cyanogen in front of me, I cant tell you for sure what it does when it installs (being that this is a no wipe rom, I know it doesnt format everything like most roms do - when installing most wipe roms, they handle formatting everything for you). But since Odin handles formatting when you flash back to stock, that is the easiest way to get everything squared away for Cyanogen to install.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Thanks. I will watch for their text warns. Not sure if my about 5gigs a month will be in the top 5%. What uses a lot of data is I listen to Siruis radio at work.
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Is it the case that each captivate is slightly different with color accuracy (hue/tint and color saturation), brightness, contrast & sharpness?

It seems to me that a profile could be made for all Captivates to make it display all these accurately using external hardware and then incorporate this profile into Cappy roms...

Having seen voodoo color, I can say that the color saturation is way too high based on NTSC standards...
[Captivate Android Development] Phateless:
So charge while off functions correctly now?
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Yes.

Also, OC/UV is now enabled in the default kernel(!).

You can set your max clock up to 1300MHz (vs 1600 in other kernels) in Settings > CM > Performance > CPU. However, I see no way to set the UnderVolt (yet), but you set can set that by using the "Voltage Control" app instead of CM settings.
[Captivate Android Development] rwells813:
its nice to see that much more completeness with Captivate CM7. Almost at the tip of the iceburg of reaching 100 nightlies. Appreciate all your late nights TeamHacksung with SGS devices. Nice move by allowing OC/UV. Outstanding!!

Insufficient Storage

After installing the last 2 builds (went from build 83 to the current build) I keep getting *Insufficient Storage* error when restoring from google.

I was so frustrated thinking this was user error that I flashed back to stock (eclair 2.1) went through the arduous task of rooting, rom mgr prem etc to latest build (my usb connection is damaged on my phone it has taken me 3 hours to get it from stock to CM7 latest build).

As it stands again, after verifying this isnt a user error, why am I getting insufficient storage?

SD Card

Total Space 13.03 GB, Available 12.82 GB (Did a master clear on this before flashing latest btw)

Internal Storage

Total Space 1.85 GB

Available space 1.80 GB

mnt/emmc

Total Space 7.39 GB

Available Space 7.37

So clearly I have enough space. Google attempted to restore 33 of my apps.

I have paid for TiBu but see no point in using that if the files etc will be restored when I log into my google account (feedback is always appreciated)

Any ideas? I just wanted to update only to find if I do clear the cache, dalvik etc my phone goes back to stock (which sorry I really hate the stock cm7 and am glad to customize it to my liking) and I have to restore everything except now, that no longer works. Again, feedback is appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] rwells813:
+1. Im getting same insufficient memeory, using NG cleaner & clearing cache regularly seams to be a quick fix.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Did you check your /datadata space?

What I do is restore with TIBU first before logging to my gmail account so that the market does not try to install all my apps.

That way I can restore some then move them to the SD card to avoid going over the /datadata limit.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
what's the best way to check my datadata? I used to use tibu till google allowed restoral via this method. I don't see why it wouldn't work for me. I also was continually getting fc's on apps after installing them. After uninstalling and reinstalling they would work fine. Lastly when moving to sd is that the SD Storage or the external sd?

Thanks for the feedback

How did the devs get the closed source code for LPM? Does this bring hope for the devs to implement the closed source radio battery optimizing code??
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
In a terminal or adb type df | grep datadata

One of the columns is a percentage, that's how much of it is used. If it's in the 90% area, that's your issue.

dev/block/mtdblock5 = 89% /rad

so how do I fix this?

when doing "df | grep datadata" shows me /dev/block/mtdblock6 9%
[Captivate Android Development] SnakeHaveYou:
From mobile terminal:

df datadata

Will show you the Used percentage..

And, mtdblock6 is datadata (data/data). If the usage (Use% column) is >90%, you'll get FCs
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
So what's the method to resolve this?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You can use App2SD application or even Tibu to move the program data to the SD card.

That is why I restore my TIBU like 40 or so apps at a time to avoid hitting the limit.

Then move the data to the SD card and restore again until done.

Insufficient Storage

guess I'll be going back to TiBu then.. kinda liked the fact that Google automatically did this (with out fail in the past) . I only had 38 apps installed too.. no reason I shouldve ran outta memory

btw.. even installing 1 app at a time.. for ex. Angry birds I am still getting the insufficient space error. I have not modded, changed or whatever anything on this rom. I can see no reason why i can't install a single app at a time.. this is kinda ridiculously frustrating.

do I perhaps need to partition the sd and change the swap size? that's the only other thing I could think of (which I've never done but will try if suggested.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
hahaha unfortunately my wisdom does not work for myself...I am always getting into troubles! :D

If you are about to install all over I would just go back to Eclair one click restore then restore with Tibu and moving the Data to the SD then logging to your gmail account after all apps are restored.

That is my 100% success rate process.

You do not have a lot of data that is true ...maybe most of them do go to the internal memory...not sure.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Appreciate the feedback, I already did a 1click to stock, master clear, rooted, flashed to latest nightly cm7 and then the gapps asked to restore I said yes. Unfortunately I havent used tibu for a while and dont have a back up. Id have to manually download every file. This still doesnt fix the fact that a single app download is giving me the error message. Obviously if I already did all that and the phone was vanilla it shouldnt be doing this. Still hoping to see if I can find a solution. Thanks Shaolin for your help. I appreciate your ideas.
