Sorry to be a bore, same questions, whats the correct method of flashing nightlies? Im gonna flash them from cwm, wipe dalvik and cache then flash? Or full data wipe? Im on 19 now with the latest platypus, which seems good!! Only lost 3% in idle over 7 hrs with airplane mode on, not too bad! I wanna flash 20, just wanna make sure i do it right
[Captivate Android Development] Hickeroar:
You definitely don't need to do a full data wipe if you're upgrading from one nightly to another. If you're coming from a completely different ROM, you'll need to wipe your data of course.

Your best bet for the nightlies (the easy way) is to buy Rom Manager Premium. You just check for updates and it will install the latest nightly for you, along with a google apps option. Make sure you select "Backup ROM" and "Clear Dalvik Cache" when prompted, but don't check "Clear data/cache." You'll want to reboot into recovery after the upgrade and manually clear the regular cache.

If you manually download the nightly and google apps (and don't want to buy Rom Manager Premium), you can just clear the cache using cwm (not data), clear dalvik cache, install the nightly update, and install the google apps. No need whatsoever to clear your data. I THINK you have to install the google apps every time you update a nightly, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I just do it every time to be safe.
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
I have cifsManager working. In the settings check "Load cifs Module" and "Load via insmod". The path should be set to /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

I never reinstall gapps. Those are still stored in data. And i read somewhere that the nightly update detects that you have gapps and reinstalls them, or something like that.
[Captivate Android Development] Hickeroar:
Thanks for the info. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
Sounds good mate, thank you
[Captivate Android Development] g1ddy:
Same thing happened to me. Worse part was that it was a bunch of the google applications including the framework. I could not login to gmail/market/gtalk because Google was not listed as an account type under "Accoutns & Sync".

Seemed like a few other applications looked corrupted. Once I re-installed gapps, my phone went into the whole new phone wizard. After I finished the wizard though all the apps that were missing their icons were back to normal.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Odd, I just normally use the input method option in the context menu that pops up when you press & hold in the text box.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Where in settings can cifs be enabled?

I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Nevermind. I just realized you meant loading the cifs module within cifsmanager, not in cm7 settings. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
Do you have to have a full battery to flash nightlies does it matter?
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
You don't have to have FULL battery, although a somewhat full charge would be good. There is now requirement anywhere that won't let you download/install the nightly just because you don't have a full battery. It's just a good idea so that your phone doesn't die in the middle of installation.

Typically I look for anything greater than %50, which should be more than fine.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Technically no. I've flashed with as little as 19%. Not in a long time and probably never again. (I didn't realize I was that low) but its always good practice to have a charged phone when flashing. Do you need it to be 100%.. no.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Anyone knows how I can change the in-call keypad? I am not able to use the phone to check even my voicemail due to the double DTMF tones issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Hickeroar:
Install and use Google Voice. Visual voicemail, free, and no need to deal with voicemail passwords.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
No google voice love for Canada unfortunately. And voicemail is just a symptom. I can not use any service that needs me to use the in call keypad. The tones are always messed up.
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
I am having the same problem
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I use YouMail, but that's because I have had it for a while and love the customizable messages.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Does anybody know of there is a way to play 720p video mkv files on cm7?

Rockplayer doesnt work and moboplayer looks like a slideshow.

Is this one of the limitations of no hardware acceleration being available to cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I always get it myself. I think I might have read somewhere in here where people had that problem if they didn't choose the right Clockwork Recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
Thanks Atinm.

This fixed my issue with not seeing CM7 roms/nightlies in the Download section of Rom Manager. However, my phone still does not register that its connected to a computer when it's plugged in via USB (USB Mount), nor does the computer recognize the phone when its plugged in, it will charge the battery when plugged in though.
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
As Atinm said. "Our phones are not Samsung phones anymore"

You need to get the Nexus (S/One?) Drivers. If you have the sdk then they are one of the optional downloads in the sdk manager. It should be called something like Google Usb Driver Package.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I'm not sure if this is just me, but my phone auto installs the drivers when I plug it into my computer and is showing up as Captivate in my device list
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
It's not a driver issue. My phone doesn't even recognize that its connected to a computer, period. No USB Mount or USB debugging icon in my notification bar when I plug it in, its almost like my phone thinks that it's plugged into a wall charger. I'm using Ubuntu on both of my systems with the proper Nexus S drivers installed via sdk manager, I've even connected it to a Windows 7 machine that prior to this issue, everything has worked properly. So at this point I'm pretty stumped on what the problem is. I'm going to give the #20 nightly a try, and see if that fixes the problem. Are there any settings in CM7 that could have been changed, that would create this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Go to your system and uninstall the previous drivers, set up the SDK.......(prose prose prose, burroughs, bugs, and, bug powder)

Then, once you have set it up and have the whole shibang followed, step by step, then and only then will it work and recognize.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Last time I used Rockplayer it was complete junk. Mobiplayer works fine. I have Tron Legacy 720p on my phone. I am also using the stock video player. mkv is a bit tricky, but worse case scenario you could try out Handbrake.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
No, I'm not having a problem with it. I did that on my netbook recently and it works perfectly fine that way. My computer will auto-detect and install the software and good to go. Only thing I have to tweak now is the Droid Explorer. Installation is more complicated than before, but maybe that means it will work now.
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
I updated to #20, and still no USB Mount function. What do i need to wipe in Clockwork Recovery to get a "fresh" install? Or could this be a hardware issue? I don't see any noticeable damage to the phone's USB connector. I really need to fix this >_<

Edit - is there any other way to debug this on the handheld?

Edit #2- In CWR, under 'Mounts and Storage' when I select 'mount USB storage' the phone mounts to my computer just fine. This leads me to believe that my USB mounting problem lies somewhere in CM7.

Edit #3- Problem Fixed! I manually installed the #20 again within Clockwork Recovery, without wiping Data, Cache or Dalvik caches. I thinking ROM Manager was the culprit in this instance.

YAY! :-D
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Did you go into rom manager, flash clockworkmod, choose captivatemtd, then hit yes, then choose clockworkmod 3.x, then hit okay?

[Captivate Android Development] imb951:
This question was asked earlier and wasn't answered:

Are the latest nightlies (#20) based off of the CM7.1 - Kang builds?

Somebody who has flashed #20 please check your about phone > mod version.

I dont want to flash #20 if it's going to downgrade me to CM7.0 :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
There is a reason it wasn't answered...
[Captivate Android Development] imb951:
Why? Because no one has flashed it yet to check? Doubtful...

Nothing in the OP about it, nothing in the last 10-15 pages... What am I Missing?
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
This is stupid.

Yes it is cm 7.1 the OP should be updated
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
So ive tried out this rom, and i love it!! But, im going back to firefly tonight, the battery is just not up too par yet with what i need, i went to work this morning with 100% 8 hrs later im at 27%, thats woth 20mins call, and abit of browsing, the Rom, itself is the best there is, i dont want to leave, i need to for my business, once the battery issue is better, im back for sure, all you guys working on this, have done an amasing job!! Hope to be back soon!!
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
agreed. the title should say "NIGHTLY20"
[Captivate Android Development] CVuPlay100:
Mod version displays old version

I just flashed Build #19 but the Mod version on my Phone Status still says "CyanogenMod-7-06052011-NIGHTLY-Captivate"

Did I do something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I flashed Nightly #20. No issues so far.
[Captivate Android Development] rwells813:
Its been 7.1 since the first initial update package back in may from RM. From what many have stated in the past post 2.3.2/ 2.3.3 is 7.0 and 2.3.4 is 7.1, so if you've had 2.3.4 from the first initial package youve been running 7.1 all along.

[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
No, that is correct. The build has yesterdays date (06052011) in it, which was build 19. Mine says the same thing except I flashed build 20 (06062011).
[Captivate Android Development] hernan078:
Hi im runng the build of july 4 and i had this problem in later versions, my android system usage is too high i am losing 20% while im sleeping, some people told me to do a factory reset i did it the last time and the issue came back, i havent tried it with this version, but, what can be another solution, why im using a lot of battery in android system? that % is always higher than screen on, thanks

[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Jeez . . . the nightly builds are always the latest source code at the time they build. Always. Always Always. Anything that was compiled before them (like the KANG build I put up a few *days* ago), is going to be older source code. Always.
[Captivate Android Development] thundermonkey:
I have been searching and could not find an answer. Can someone please explain the difference between the Nightlies and the KANG versions? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
KANG version was created whe the nightly system was down. It was like a nightly, but atinm created it himself, unlike nightlies which are (I think) built by a bot. It was to provide an update while there were no nightlies. The nightly system is back up and running, so the KANG versions should just be forgotten. They are outdated.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
When you build on a personal machine, the buildscript labels it KANG. It's just part of upstream. The nightlies are done by a buildbot (a computer that builds updates every night) and therefore don't have KANG in them.

Hey a quick question. Why does my data go from HSDPA to UMTS and back all the time. Its causeing a unstable data flow. Which is horrible for games and ect. What can I do to fix that? Any other modem besides jk4 I get UMTS or something non HSDPA. I believe because they don't have 800mhz ? Sorry for dumb q
[Captivate Android Development] iakovl:
runing #16 right now, moving to #21

the update just runs over the old files or would i need to restore all info and apps?
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
Just flashed #20 from 9 lets see how this goes :)
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
I always lose any custom ringtone and alerts after updating to the latest nightly. I just figured it was because the update rewrote that dir. I'm just in the habit now of using root explorer to copy the files back to the /system/media directory after every flash. I even have book marks to the dirs involved to make it easier.

HTH
[Captivate Android Development] DamnMersault:
If you put the files in /sdcard/media/blah, using the same structure below the media directory as is used in /system/media, then it doesn't get overwritten and it's recognized and used by the OS. Works for anything that would be stored under /system/media, I believe. I use it for my notification ringtone.
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
all nightly builds will go right over the top of previous nightly builds, no need to restore apps / data
[Captivate Android Development] Silencer_007:
I've been waiting for CM to come to the Cappy since I got this thing on launch day last year. HUGE thanks to the devs for the hard work.

I can't wait to install this, but as a quick question, what exactly DOES NOT work on this ROM at the moment? The OP made mention to some bugs that are being worked out but I couldn't find any material on what exactly is acting weird.

Thanks in advance for the response.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
It is listed in the known bugs section - USB sharing of external sd does not work yet. It is mounted on /emmc rather than /sdcard/external_sd so the files will be there but you cannot see them using your desktop.
[Captivate Android Development] mckooter:
from the linked thread in the OP:

p.s. thanks to atinm for the help, running cm7 perfectly now
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
If you are already running a proper kernel is it still necessary to flash it again with odin?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
If you mean the very first step where we require you to be using a kernel that contains CWM 2.x or 3.x, then no, we just need CWM 2.x or 3.x and if yours does, you're good. But you do need to flash the cm7 kernel we provide when the instructions call for it during the initial flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Willis111:
Just installed, running awesome! Thanks for all your hard work on this, looking forward to future releases!

For clarity, everyone running a custom rom or kernel from this site can just pick up the instructions @ "Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo and apply captivate-efsbackup.zip."

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] Konner920:
I ran quadrent, got a score around 1400. I can tell that the graphics acceleration needs some improvement, I wasn't getting good FPS on the tests and saw some graphical glitches, but other than that, I'm quite happy with this. It runs well and is quite stable for it being unstable. But maybe it's just what I use my phone for.
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
From what I heard about the Atrix from everyone in the Atrix forum, I'm planning on keeping my Captivate for a while longer. Especially with GB on it, it runs great. No need to upgrade until something that's actually a big step up comes out. The 1 GHz dual cores don't impress me. Lets see more like 1.5 or at least 1.2. Should see those by the end of the year.
[Captivate Android Development] Konner920:
Yeah same here. I was just wanting to trade out my captivate or sell it, but this has totally changed my thoughts.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Noob question here, is the market supposed to be missing?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
If I'm running the speedmod kernel with the universal lagfix enabled do I need to disable it before loading this?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Cant wait for a fully stable version but then again I also need to wait for an OCed kernel.

I was in the same boat...drooling about the Atrix but the screen sucks compared to capticvate plus by the time dual cores are put into use with programs there will be better options in the market I am sure.

The GPU while faster in most cases than ours is not really a big improvement and even ours is not being taxed by curent games so overall it makes it all pointless right now :-)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You have to flash the gapps package in the instructions
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
do you even know what that means? I don't think he was asking any estimated time of arrival. Chillax bro. Do you really feel the need to police. That's like giving someone a ticket for going one mile over the speed limit.

Ok back to my question:

Yes i know this phone runs at 1500 mtu but the hotspot tethering bottle necks much lower, and no you can't tether xbox or ps3 with it. I am well aware of the situation. I know how to change the mtu setting from terminal or adb or even file manager but what i don't know how to do is figure out where to look for the hotspot mtu settings. I don't even know where to look. Any clues would be nice.

[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:

1. What is not working/bugs and has it been good for day to day use?

2. when starting the instruction procedure, is it best to flash to stock, masterclear, reroot and flash cwm before starting?

[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
So if I try this kernel and want to go back to the CM7 kernel I just use odin right?
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Throw out ADWLauncher and replace it with something else. I'm partial to the Launcher2.apk from the Nexus S source, but I don't have the APK on me.

This is, by far and away, my largest gripe with CM. I despise ADW.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Bugs are listed in the op

You need to flash this over a rom with a kernel that has extra 4 enabled.

[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
it doesn't say anything about a flash to stock 2.1/master clear so i'm assuming its unnecessary and that would mean by it doesnt matter what you start with? correct?

Settings, cyanogen, ui, status bar, something like that.
