Searc h the forums here for ODIN threads and you will find step-by-step instructions to use odin.

I will say, tho, that if you don't know how to use odin i would wait on this til it was a bit more stable.....
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Is there any screenshot of what it looks like? :D
[Captivate Android Development] crecsky:
So, if I am having Wifi errors I should reflash Samsung Stock and redo my whole flashing process. I used the files from here so meh...
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey man! Thanks for the screenshot! I was wondering if I could trouble you for one that is under SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>BATTERY USE. I just wanted to get an idea what kind of battery usage CM7 and Android OS are at.

Buddy of mine had CM7 on his HTC Desire, and to be honest, it was horrid. The Android OS alone took up 65% of the battery life. I wanted to know what to expect for the Captivate.

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
If you had the 3 button combo before flashing CM7, you should still have it. Heres a quick vid showing you a couple ways to get into DL mode.

I have installed 2.3.3 like in tutorial step by step a few mınute before.

and now I tried a few times and I have accessd recovery now and I have installed update version but without factory reset or wipe cash ? is this cause a problem ?

by the way I havens seen any market icon ?
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Updates can be installed from CWM without any issues. For the market you need to install the gapps package. It's there somewhere in the downloads page

I flashed twice n went back to 2.1 using ODIN.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
i'm there with you. I just flashed back to di11i 7.1 today. I love the speed and options of CM. I love the stability and "completeness"(that a word?) of di11i's rom. Been back and forth 5 or 6 times in the past couple weeks...
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
Finally got everything working haha. Did a master clear and seemed to work now, just juice defender wont work (some options) sucks cause I got ultimate juice
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
While you can remove ADW, it is not recommended. ADW is the default launcher for CyanogenMod, so every time you flash an update, you will get ADW back. It is easier to just leave it there and ignore it if you don't want to use it.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Or uninstall it every update

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
I agree. Just leave it on and when u install a new launcher, set it to default when u hit home. ADW takes up an extremely small amount of memory anyway
[Captivate Android Development] madcheeku:

[Captivate Android Development] vizographic:
Yeah, I always lose my little H after flashing CM7 nightlies. The first time it happend I turned it off and on tried some new radios, and got a little depressed. Finally, I gave up and went to sleep. The next morning I woke to find my H had returned. This has been the pattern ever since, if it doesn't return by morning....hmmm well, then it might be time for heroic measures.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
ya u can use odin one click
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
Yes u can 1 click back to stock look for designgears 1 click Odin And follow directions
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
I want to go back 2.2.1 and twingerbread 1.3 :( is there any video for me ?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
i would flash back to stock using odin, master clear (not necessary) and then follow the instructions from the twingerbread page. this might not be the only way but is probably the safest.

DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP ANYTHING YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE IF YOU PLAN TO FTS AND MASTER CLEAR!

Atimn, any more news on the bad block, failed kernel flash bug? The pull request from eifert(sp?) in android_bootable_recovery looks like a really simple fix, and not hard at all to implement in the update scripts either. I've just got people who want to flash my kernel, and can't due to this bug. I'd rather not pull in the fixes before you do.

i did it in pass on other roms, just want to make sure i can do it on CM7

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] YoungBloodz:
Flashed this a few hours ago. Had a little scare with a brick until the 3-button combo saved me and let me go into download mode and start over again. Second time went smoothly.

The ROM works pretty well and smoothly, however I didn't really like the ADW launcher so I went to LauncherPro. Sometimes on rebooting I get some Force Closes for it, but after that it works pretty well. Other than that, I've had a few other force closings of some other things like the status bar and my contacts list, but they work out fine after. Also, the camera has been freezing on me at random times for some reason, not sure what to do to fix it.

Also, is it possible to add a way to merge/link facebook and regular contacts and let us be able to save regular contacts to the SIM card?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
No, you can't. There is no param.lfs in CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
can anyone know how I decrEase vibration when I press 4 button ?

and I was full wifi bar in old rom but now I have only one wifi bar ? modem is in the next room
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
camera is only slow for me on boot up occasionally. and as for launcher pro, i dont think its the rom (might be) because ive had FC's on bootup for multiple roms ive flashed. not sure about the contacts

[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
For some reason, after I install CM7 the clockworkmod recovery update.zip file no longer will flash from clockworkmod recovery. With other roms it will work, but as soon as I install CM7 and try, it is unable to install it at all and I end up having to pull the battery. Is this normal?
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
Why would you do that? Only CWM 3.0+ will work on CM7.

[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Maybe I am confused about something. In the past, when I flashed roms (like Doc's rom) I would restore the phone to stock, root, install the Rom manager app, and through the rom manager app install the update.zip file. Then I would restart the phone in recovery, choose "reinstall packages" which brought me to the CWM recovery screen, then flash the custom rom, and after I flashed the custom rom I always flashed update.zip before rebooting the phone into regular mode because I thought you always had to do that whenever you flashed a new rom. Am I wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Most roms now a days have custom recovery built into kernel. Flashing clockwork is really only needed on stock.

Ps. You can not flash another rom directly from this, must odin with repartition back to stock

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
This is way different, you better read the op and watch the video to understand how to install this. If you not sure then I wouldn't flash this.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
It seems to be working correctly. I did follow the instructions over on the CM7 captivate forum. I flashed CWM recovery once I rooted the phone. Once I installed CM7 the green CWM screen was replaced with an orange screen with slightly different options.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
There is a BIG and DETAILED OP here and is there for a reason...dont want to be rude but seriously...read it...the step by step is very good and will get you installed but this is nothing like flashing other ROMs.

Regards
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
Wait was there a new update? :0 I'm not home and I'm on edge can't really check
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
I did get CM7 installed correctly, but this was the first custom rom I installed where update.zip did not work.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Oh I see, yeah the old CWM will not work with this you have to use the orange one that comes with the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] carbon12:
I updated straight from Cognition 3 without a flash back to stock and have had no problems yet... awesome. The process seemed pretty straight forward to me... just need to have the right files and the right time. Odin was used to flash the initial kernel after running the efs backup .zip file, after that it was just a matter of installing the initial rom, followed by the update, and then the google apps. Easy.

Thanks to the devs!!!
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
I want to verify something really quick. After you flash to stock and root, you have to flash some other custom rom (such as doc's rom) before flashing CM7 in order to enable HSPA, correct? I read that it is disabled by default and that this was the only way to enable it, since CM7 won't enable it and has no way to do so.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Did you read the step by step...it does not say it is disabled at all so no need to flash anything. It only says to make sure you have NOT disabled it manually before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Nevermind...
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
You do not have to flash another rom prior. I'm pretty sure stock has

HSPA just shows 3g always. Dial *#301279# to check if HSPA is enabled. If it is you can just follow the instructions to flash straight from stock once ur rooted. That's what I did and it was fine. Also if u see an H on ur current rom, I'm pretty sure it will stay enabled
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I used Odin one click...does that have an automatic repartition when it does its process?

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
yep.

10char
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
If you dial that number, how can you tell if HSPA is disabled? When I did it, it just gave me a long string of numbers and letters.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
cant tell you 100% cause im on cm7 now and cant check, but pretty sure what you do is select the bottom option and if u see something like HSPA-1 it should be enabled. or if u have run any other rom with it enabled and did not dial that number to disable it, it should still be active
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
If it says -1 if it is enabled, what will it say if it is disabled?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
do not know, have never had it disabled. like i said, if u have played around with it before, u should be fine. you could always flash a samsung rom quickly and see if u get the H if ur unsure. then just fts, root, and begin

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
even if samsung releases sources, you won't get any "samsung features" back. this is CM not "z0mg touchwiz" ROm
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Sorry, just saw that he has another pull request open. Looking at it.
[Captivate Android Development] smackdownn:
well i was talking about all types of video file playback,better cam quality,proper HD video recording and those features which nexus S dosent have and galaxy S has! wasnt talkin about touchwiz.....and i know this is CM7 iam not blind.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
That is the hope - anything that we can use from a samsung source drop will be used - we just don't know *what* they're drop.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
what "samsung features" are you talking about then? 720p video recording? that's already in the works, this ROM is alpha/beta quality. DivX/mkv video playback? never say never, but unlikely as they're not a part of AOSP/CM. hell, the android market can't even be included with this ROM by default... are you asking about userland features like "slide for messaging/call" and "slide for brightness"? if so, nope, not until they're integrated into CM overall (which seems unlikely).

Nexus S is built from AOSP, CM7 is built from AOSP... since avi/mkv isn't a part of either, it wouldn't be included by default even if it worked properly. an addon package would be possible (assuming it worked, which is not likely), but that's just gravy at this point in time since the devs have bigger fish to fry than "I can't play my movie." The only way these features could be included by default would be to have them available in AOSP, and since there isn't source for it, we're SOL on that. if these features are important to your daily usage of the phone, stick with samsung until the team announces otherwise that these features work (you'll probably be waiting a while)
[Captivate Android Development] curti.nogg:

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Is it slower or just showing less bars

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
AT&T has HSDPA enabled on their ROMs. Some people use *#301279# to disabled HSDPA for various reasons (they live in an edge only area, to conserve power, etc). Since CM7 does not support dialer codes, if you ever want to be able to use HSDPA and you previously disabled it by using a dialer code, you need to re-enable it first. If you have never disabled HSDPA then there is no reason you need to re-enable it.

Were attempts to make a stable CM6 for captivate/galaxy S based off of samsung firmware instead of stock Android 2.2 from the AOSP? I thought all CM versions (certainly 6 and 7) were based off of stock Android AOSP. Am I wrong?

my battery is good at first, but it's drained very fast now. it went down from 44% to 29% in 45mins while in my pocket. which kernal is the best for battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
No, they still used AOSP. Just the kernel was based off of the SGS kernel, rather than based of the NS kernel, like this. The SGS kernel (from what little I've seen) in my amateur eye, was terrible and just hacked together all over the place.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Is the kernel the reason CM7 isn't available on more phones? I noticed that other than the Galaxy S and a couple of others, almost all the phones it is available on are HTC phones.
[Captivate Android Development] carbon12:
So true. :D
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
No, Cyanogen only buys HTC phones(i think). Plus, alot of the HTC phones are relatively similar, so it kept getting ported in between them.

automatic reboot after mounting internal sd?

Hi All,

I flashed the latest nightly build yesterday. Everything is working fine until I tried to mount the internal sd card as a drive on my WinXP. When I tried to mount it as a drive, the phone will freeze at first. After few seconds, it will automatically reboot. Really strange. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue?

[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Please stop bombarding this thread with questions like this. This is support for CM7. All these questions you are asking have NOTHING to do with running CM7 on our phones. We are not here to teach you everything about android.

USE THE THREAD IN THE Q&A SECTION.
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
no it isnt slower but it only one bar .. then I went to near the modem and wifi bars up to 3 bar
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Does Samsung just build a really messy kernel or is this an issue with other phones as well? The Droids are popular and yet only the one Droid as CM7. I assume those HTC phones are using HTC kernels modified for CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Seriously dude. GOOGLE.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
These questions aren't answered anywhere else, certainly not on the FAQ thread. I spent a great deal of time looking, and find these topics addressed no where, other than a few bits and pieces here and there. It would be nice if there was a tutorial on these semi-techincal Android/CM topics, as they are important for understanding and using CM7. And you don't have to be so rude.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Well, the issue with Motorola is that they encrypt their bootloaders, so you cant replace the stock kernel. The original Droid wasn't encrypted, so it got a port, and the Milestone (after insane amounts of work by the devs there) got one(unofficially) after they found a way to semi-bypass the bootlooder.
