It's been stated a million times that we have enough to deal with with *our* issues and we dont want to clutter the dev thread for cm7 talking about other kernels or roms....
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Wait soooo going with this logic, how do you use a CM7 rom on any phone?
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
I understand and know that but maybe some people don't and that was kinda rude that is all I am saying and with that I am done lets leave this for the dev of cm7

I tried wiping all drivers, uninstalling the device through the manage window, manually deleting and redownloading nexus s drivers, and even with no drivers windows is still reporting it as a captivate when I plug it in. This doesn't change after setting it to use the nexus s drivers. So I'm still missing something and I feel pretty dumb about it.
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
Go to the device manager and manually change your driver.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
That was one of the things I tried and it didn't work. Either way it's not a huge deal and I don't want to clutter this thread up anymore with it. I'll figure it out eventually.

Ignorance like this is why I'd never support cm7, lighten up, brutal.

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
*sigh* it's ignorance to want to keep a thread related to CM7's development pertinent to CM7? how awfully rude of me to assume this thread was intended for discussion of CM7, unlike the 20+ threads in this section devoted to samsung ROM's.

if you want to debate the merits of CM7 and Samsung ROM's, feel free to open up a pro's/con's list in the general section. ask anyone in #project-voodoo or #cmsgs, I've admitted Samsung does fine things with their ROM's (in some respects), like pulldown toggles and kinetic scrolling. my point is that if you want to use/discuss/slather your face in a Samsung ROM, please keep that discussion out of this thread. what about this is brutal?

p.s. this is as far off track of the discussion of CM7 as I'm gonna go in this thread. if you feel the need to reply, go ahead, but I likely won't respond.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
.... and we all were dying for your support, too....... no, please dont go.... stop......
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Ignorance? Do enlighten us . . .

CM7 doesn't need your support, but we do ask that everyone keep this thread on topic when posting in this thread. It is a development thread after all. I already ignore the threads as it is, having to wade thru stuff unrelated to CM7 makes it that much less likely that I'll actually see something that needs to be looked into.

TO ALL DEV'S

I love all your work on CM7

You guys work magic.

It is to your hard work that we got this far.

I mean 80-90% working with no help from samsung.

To all Bad mouthing and being AS*HOLES

Shut the F up and go away.
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
Couldn't agree with you more man.

Everytime I lock and unlock my phone.. I just think, wow.. I'm in love. Is it weird to be in love with your phone?? Yes if you use stock Samsung.. but hell effing no if you use CyanogenMod. Thank you devs so so much.. you make the Captivate work exactly as Google intended but even better!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Guys this is easy to explain. He's using Firefly so he's used to being sweet talked and cuddled. Every time I scan any of the Team Phoenix threads there is usually some sort of love fest going on.

I like that fact that this thread is all bidness. CM7 is REAL devs doing REAL work! Unfortunately most people on XDA mistake theming and rom cooking for TRUE development.

My apologies for getting off topic. Slapping face repeatedly as my penance!
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
He offered to look into your problem, and even said what you could do to expedite the process. And for this you give him no gratitude...a simple "ahh okay let me go check that out" would suffice. Don't want to go off topic...

It's not rude to request your thread is talked about only your topics of interest. It's not rude to make rules how people interact with your development.

It's not rude to give people advice/tips/nudges about following the aforementioned things.

It IS rude to respond in such a fashion that shows your attitude is like you're whole life has gotten irritated by somebody who's not as hardcore about this stuff as you asks a question or makes a suggestion that does not follow the aforementioned things.

TACT

RESPECT

TACT

I love CM7. I'm grateful for the improvements over the past week. Random phone reboots when trying to mount over USB was getting quite annoying. Thank you for the development. Your attitude receives no merits.

BTW, I haven't seen any mention of this: (link to gingerbread source from Samsung for Galaxy S phones, PM for actual link, my posting count is too low to post it here)

It's been said that gingerbread source from Samsung is what you guys are waiting for to further some development challenges. Is this what you've been waiting for?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
All I requested was to keep this on topic and its been mentioned many times that Samsung specific stuff will not ever work on CM7 so asking one more time isn't going to get a new answer. We're still going to try to make it work, but the likelihood of succeeding at it is near zero. What I do take issue with is when someone random shows up and calls Kaik541 "ignorant" without actually saying how. Kaik541 only asked that non-CM7 stuff stay off the thread, and explained why we show up as Nexus S to Google (correctly I might add). How that is ignorant I have no idea. Possibly the person was looking for the word "rude", but even that I'd consider harsh and would respond to defend one of my team members.

Maybe people don't actually know when something is Samsung's vs not. So I'll give a simple rule:

Everything that you're used to working well from Froyo, but isn't working in CM7 yet is Samsung's and will most likely not work for a bit. Either because they did something closed source/proprietary/screwed up, or because we don't have the source yet (which is changing as Gingerbread becomes official).

And once again, as Kaik541 already posted earlier but it bears repeating:

We have the Gingerbread source for Galaxy S and have been working round the clock on it.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I figured i will get that answer so i tried the codes in the OP. My phone is connected to laptop with USB debugging on...Even the adb devices shows my phone connected....but when do adb logcat > logcat.txt ...nothing happens...sorry for asking stupid question..but it will be huge help to me..
[Captivate Android Development] cardassianvol:
That would be excellent. It makes MIUI fly. I'd prefer CM7 if the graphics were a bit snappier though. That GPU driver helps a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
after typing this, your computer will generate the file in whatever current working directory you're in. simply hit "ctrl+c" when you're done and it will close. take the resulting txt file and upload it to the issue tracker.
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
Huh, Getting the incorrect width text formatting in Gmail, Pulse etc...

I thought this had been fixed a while back?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
i always do "adb shell", then "adb logcat > /mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt"

that will jump you to the next line and appear to hang there..... it's actually writing the file..... while that is happening, do whatever it was that you are trying to log (lets say it was connect to wifi)... try a couple of times, then stop. If you then either disconnect from the computer, or type cntrl+c to end the log. There will then be "logcat.txt" on your sdcard

[Captivate Android Development] sthodupunuri:
since the gingerbread source code has come out, will a galaxy s based version of cyanogen come out?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
*facepalm* No, we're going to stick with the G1 based one.

Honestly people, this has been covered hundreds of times. THIS IS NOT A NEXUS S PORT. We use a mash up of SGS and NS kernel code, and an CM rom, which is based off AOSP. All the Gingerbread source does is give them new code, documentation, and other information so they can get around Samsung's dirty hacks and write their own code that actually works properly and conforms to Android standards. IT WILL NOT MAGICALLY FIX EVERY PROBLEM IN 3 DAYS. This is a long-term effort, that takes a metric ton of work from these guys.

tl;dr no.
[Captivate Android Development] mwiz123:
is it finalized

all these blogs (Android Central) said it is final ( http://www.androidcentral.com/cyanogenmod-7-final-released )

[Captivate Android Development] shawn.ferris:
I know TheEscapist already answered this, but I thought I'd add my 2¢.. (my answer is a bit different)

You are reading a forum about the cyanogenmod port for galaxy s (captivate edition) phones. Having the gingerbread source doesn't change that fact.

What you're asking for already exists, I'm living proof as well as many others here.

What having the GB source does is potentially help fix some of the hardware drivers for our phones. Which until now have been adapted from the nexus s source. Similar hardware, enough to get this port working with some incredible help from these developers.

To put it bluntly, having the current cyanogenmod rom installed on your captivate makes it look no more like a nexus s, than it does an Etch-A-Sketch.

Now.. If your looking for a rom with all the samsung features, your looking in the wrong place. That is not the direction of cyanogenmod.. Think of cyanogenmod as another phone maker, without their own hardware. HTC isn't going to use Samsung customizations, nor will cyanogenmod. (that I know of anyway) Make sense?

(I hope I'm not speaking out of line.. please correct me if I am. I can take it ;D)
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Good answer!

Hey anybody know how far along the quest for fixing ' luxury' features is? I.e, 720p, a working camera (with zoom), etc?

Hi, I just want to ask a quick question: If I want to reflash the original kernel, do I install the initial_kernel.tar from odin?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
You can just reflash the latest nightly and that will give you back the original kernel. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ClaPik:
Oh really? Thanks a lot! I'm thinking of trying the Escapist OC kernel so just want to make sure I really know how to return to the original one :)

[Captivate Android Development] monoxide.tryst:
I originally asked this question in the Q & A thread, but it was in the midst of a "your sig is too big " fight, so ill try in here.

" Flashed the newest nightly a couple days ago, and now im not getting notification sounds from anything except incoming calls...... Volumes are up, stock and platapus kernels both do the same. Worked fine before i flashed the newest nightly. I have tryed to reflash nightly and different kernel a couple times. Anything else that i can try??? Or just flash cm7 from scratch"

Just want to know the best way to tackle this problem.

By the way devs...... Awesome work, i was missing gingerbread after playing with the port for my liquid e. you guys are amazing

Yeah does anyone know were I can get the system apps that aren't themed so I can decompile some of these apps for xml mods with a error
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Ship it!! We are final. I can finally sleep through the night.

Not. (read the part that says "supported phones", then look on cyanogenmod site to see what it says about Samsung Galaxy S).
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
thank god you were here to tell us the quadrant score, since it so accurately reflects day to day usage! 1100, I bet this thing doesn't even move! oh wait, you mean quadrant is an artificial benchmark that is broken on our phones?! why I never!

logs, issue tracker... all that jazz

a) system apps aren't themed in this ROM

b) why would you decompile them when this is a ROM built from source and you can edit the xml directly in the source code?

32g SD Card?

Any one out there using a 32G SD Card.

I have no issues with my 16G, but my the 32G works for a bit, then says damaged or blank and won't mount.

If I unmount the internal SD and reboot, sometimes it will mount.

The 32G works fine in Froyo captivates and my Nook.

you must be doing something wrong: you're not using your phone correctly

I have a 32GB Sandisk SD card, it works fine with the latest CM7, and has worked since the initial public release of CM7. In fact, it seems that media seeking (when inserting the SD card, or booting up) has sped up significantly in CM7 compared to Eclair/Froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] jpcdeux:
Yeah. I'm doing something wrong. I've gotten twice that with cm7 on my G2. I guess in the switch I forgot how to use Android. I'd ask what I'm doing wrong but everyone's all talk, fast to talk **** and not be able to prove it so I know it'll go unanswered or answered with a smart ass no help reply. Its all good. Cm7 is off my phone and won't go back on until well into RC stages.
[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
I can't see how that is possible, since the external SD slot wasn't supported until the around the April 09 build....unless I am wrong.

But I have rebuilt from scratch the CM7 build, and under Settings->Storage only saw the internal RAM 1.8G and the internal SD 13~G. It wasn't until I applied the 0409Nightly that the ExternalSD showed up under EMMC.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
April 9 was when it was added to the settings. It had been accessable to the phone the entire time.

[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
Thanks for the feedback. Is your card partitioned at all?

Mine is a SanDisk as well and is not partitioned, full card available....

I have tried the card in other captivates (nonCM7), and returned to stock and it is recognized and works fine. It works great in my PC and in my Nook Color under gingerbread. So it has to be CM7.....

Meantime I will use my 16G in the Captivate and the 32G in my Nook I guess.

Different Modem

This was in the Q and A...

****************

Q: How do I flash a different modem? The one included doesn't work well with my phone.

A: Other modems are available here

Please do not attempt to flash ones from other threads as they use a different method of installing not compatible with our ROM.

*****************

but by mistake (I forgot) I flashed I9000XXJVK (GB modem) as I was coming back from MIUI (1 day of fun thats all). So far it works fine. Is there anything I should be worried about? Data works fine, Calls Worked fine... Only once I had a issue the my Screen went blank when the other person hang up the phone. I had to use power button on/off to get back.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Must have been cwm3 packaged, then. If it wasn't, I don't think it would flash at all, which is the issue.

I came from. Miui which was so buggy, hated it. Knowing Miui is based on this, I assumed this would suck. I wanted the screen off animation though, so I tried.

A. SMOOTH. Every other rom ive used had lag. Not this.

B. Fancy, AOSP+ look.

C. Screen off animations.

Hey everybody!

Quick question here:

I'm wanting to flash another rom just as a test.

Would I be able to make a backup of my CM7 through rom manager; flash the new rom for fun; go back to initial cm7 and boot the backup from rom manager?

Hope you get what I'm asking! THANKS!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yes, but remember, to get off CM7 you must use ODIN with a full firmware and repartition.

this method *should* work, but no promises! always prepare yourself that it might be more complicated or not work.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Yeah I just recovered from a huge loss!

I was thinking about installing the MIUI RC5-C...it says I can just flash it from CWM without having to flash back to stock...

You have any ideas on this? seems..fishy.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
SO what is the general consensus on this rom? is it pretty stable and bug free? enough to use as a "daily" rom for texting/music/emails?
