Media player mode for USB setting

I'm trying to connect my Captivate (CM7) to an MHL adapter to use it as a DLNA renderer to push media content to it (I'm ready for upgrade and I don't have any other use for my old Captivate). My wife's Infuse, which is still on stock Android 2.3, can swith to "Media player" in Settings/Applications/USB setings. On CM7 there is no USB Settings. Any idea how I can set that option on my Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the captivate does not support MHL out
[Captivate Android Development] adrianconst:
I've heard that claim but in the same time there are people who claim they did it.

If I find a way to set the USB to Media player mode (without going back to stock ROM) I can test it and get over it.

Any suggestions?

Cannot change or use custom ringtone

HI All,

I've been using CyanogenMod 7 for over 9 months now. The biggest issue I am having is that I could not change the ringtone on my Captivate. It worked fine with other roms, but I could not do it for CyanogenMod 7. I also could not use any custom ringtones that I made. I can select the ringtone that I want to use. But once someone calls me, it defaults to the annoying "Ting Ting" ringtone... If anyone can help me figure this out, I will be greatly appreciated.

Mike

About the CM7.2 RC1

I have some doubts:

My cappy was with CM7.1, glitch kernel v13.1, modem KG3, Beats and GPS Fix. When upgrading to CM7.2 RC1, the kernel back to the default CM. With this I can assume that the changes I made (Beats and GPS Fix) were also deleted? In short, I have to re-install them?

Thanx!!!

Sorry, flashed this ROM for a friend and now I'm troubleshooting with out the phone in hand.

He's having a new issue. The volume will be very faint on the speaker when its turned all the way up. It will then randomally go back to normal for an hour or two, then right back down to the barely hearable volume?

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] epg0:
No one is having volume issues on 7.2?
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
Yeah, the CM kernel flashes over Glitch, and anything system-wise you replaced was reverted to whatever CM has.
[Captivate Android Development] igorgomez:
Thanks korockinout13!

After I installed CM7.2, processes "android.process.acore" and "android.process.gapps" are giving FCs after installing Glitch v13.1. I can not make calls because the phone app and the contacts app simply does not open. Does this problem is happening because of the change kernel?

Sounds like the captivate hardware issue with the speaker.	Search the forum about it. Does it happen only with 7.2?

Wooooo! CM7 RC is updated. Now we need an updated kernel! D:. Thinking about going into this...

I am on the 2011-11-16 15:47:24 nightly...

Can i upgrade to the newest without problems?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
In theory, it should. I would make a backup (in clockwork, and with titanium backup), just in case anything goes wrong. Then you could always roll back (or if you have to wipe, you can restore your apps with tb).

I have been flashing many times a week for months. On cm7 and now cm9, sometimes they need a wipe, and sometimes they just run perfect.

Love cm7, just one question though. Will cm7 be able to play avi's eventually? I have used rock player and mobo player but the quaility isn't any good. Video and sound don't match up. Or is that something that will not be implemented for some reason?
[Captivate Android Development] demonblod:
idk whats up..but i cant get my phone into download or recovery mode anymore.

The only ways for me to get into download mode is to use a jig, or have software do it for me. I actually just installed Serendipity (a random ROM) to get into download mode. IDK whats up. I used to be able to hold down the volume rockers and plug the usb in. If I hold down the 2 buttons and plug in the usb, it just goes to the charging screen.

Also, when i hold all 3 buttons down to go into recovery mode, it just boots up the phone regularly.

Is this normal? fixable? I guess i've just been fooling around with my phone too much lately?

[Captivate Android Development] demonblod:
is there a way I can talk to you personally? I'm tired of doing stuff wrong because someone wasn't 100% clear in the directions.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Did you use the one-click flasher at some point to go back to stock? You need to make certain your button combos work when installing CM7 because 1) the instructions specify to use button combos and 2) after you install the CM7 kernel you can't get to recovery or download mode any other way.

The attached SBL update will fix your buttons. People shouldn't be using one-click before installing CM7 unless they know it doesn't remove the combos on their hardware build. But either way, if you follow the instructions to the letter you will discover the problem before it's too late. If you take a shortcut and use the CWM menu to reboot into recovery then you may find yourself stuck in a boot loop.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Q

Ya I'm thinking that's the problem. I only did restore apps with data (not system data tho) rebooted then had all of the problems I mentioned before. But I think you're right cuz my phone work close to flawlessly before rebooting after TiBu
[Captivate Android Development] demonblod:
ohhhh crap... thats what happened. Both of the things you mentioned. ODIN and CWM. thanks a lot, for being perfectly clear in the explanation and what to do.
[Captivate Android Development] Ptaaty:
While I can't answer for the devs...one thing I have noticed is that the apps from the Samsung framework do a great job of using the GPU...others not so much. Since a big part of CM is being ASOP and not using samsung framework - I think chances are slim you will get anything that works *as well* for video within CM.

This is one area the samsung framework/apps excels at - excellent GPU acceleration and video codec support.

Logically (not as a dev) I look at it like this: I think for someone to get even close they will need to have the right samsung drivers...this might mean release of source code from a gingerbread build...and even then it might take using a samsung app which needs samsung framework..which means not in CM.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
Big props to the CMod guys!

Just flashed this for the first time.

HOLY SETTINGS BATMAN! BRAIN SENSORY OVERLOAD!

And the CM7 - 2.3.3 on Captivate? LOL, I will never use anything else ever again. Period...

Pretty much flawless... Seriously love it! If I had the money to donate I would!!
[Captivate Android Development] demonblod:
how to install this? Through CWM recovery and install zip? rename it as update and do stock recovery? I'm kind of clueless at the moment, and i want to be certain.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yeah through CWM. Install zip from sdcard.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
For anyone who is curious to know before attempting to flash CyanogenMod7 whether or not your key combos are functional, you can do a quick check to see if your button combos are coded in.

Simply power off the device.

Plug your USB cable into your PC.

Hold down the Volume Up AND Volume Down keys ONLY. And DO NOT LET GO.

While holding the keys down simply plug the USB cable into your device.

If your device is functioning properly and the key combos are coded in properly you will see Download Mode activate almost immediately.

If DLM activates you are good to go and can proceed. Reboot the device.

To restart the device simply unplug the USB cable. Then hold down the Volume Up and Power keys ONLY.

Wait until the device begins to reboot (you should see AT&T logo) then release the keys.

If DLM does not activate then you must install the afore-mentioned zip.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Yep, that's your problem as it was mine too. If you need to use TiBu then select "restore missing apps + user data" not the restore apps and data as they are different.

Modems:

I download JL2, and the modem that gets installed is JK4. I saw some posts a ways back that said the same thing. Can someone post the proper CM7 JL2 modem in zip form? I have read the first 125 pages so if it got posted since then my bad.

JK4 seems to chew through battery for me which is odd as it never did on any other ROM. JL3 does better on this ROM than JK4 on battery but uses a bit more than I expected it to today. My best luck in the past was JL2 or JK4...want to get my hands on JL2!!! All my experience, sure there are others that JK4 is rocking the battery for.
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
I have the i9010 and this is based on the Captivate but is from the UK.

Can I, therefore, flash a i9000 modem over the i897 Captivate initial?

Or is there stuff in the kernel specific to the radio?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Off topic, but I am mentioning here in case it helps others.

Try the dd-wrt firmware on your router (http://dd-wrt.com/site/index). I have used it for at least 3 years and have only had to reboot my router due to problems about once per year. If you have any questions, ask at the dd-wrt site, not here (or you can try pming me). I do not want to hijack this thread, but anyone who knows enough to flash their phone should be flashing their wireless router too.

Been using this amazing rom for a bit now and it's great, but I have one problem. I switched to edge from the power control to save battery on data, yet when I try to turn it back to 3g the button lights up and immediately goes back off to 3g. I tried manually turning it on by unchecking the use 2g only in the network options, but this fails as when I go back to the options it's automatically rechecked.

Thank you for all of the support guys, great job keeping up with everything. I've read every single page.

Use the player in es file explorer. That thing is better than stock or rockplayer

I have never flashed a ROM without reading every post in the thread first.

<rant>

I think anytime anyone downloads a ROM, they should have to check a box that says they read and understood the OP, they will use the search function before posting, and if they ask a question that has already been answered they can be banned from posting on XDA. Then once people reach some limit (3, 5, whatever) they should be banned from making new post for some period of time. It is completely ridiculous when people ask questions that have been answered 3 or 4 times already, or are answered directly in the OP. Anyone who is too lazy to read, or can't figure out how to use the search function shouldn't be wasting everyone else's time.

On the downloads page, the JL2 modem file contains the JK4 modem. Can someone post the correct JL2 modem or post when it is corrected on the download site? If its a simple as taking the modem.bin out of a previous JL2 zip and replace it in this one just let me know.
