@phaedrusiszen and @ls377

thanks for the reply guys

i think i did figure it out

if I go into

settings > CM settings > Interface > LED notifications > Miscelleanous

and if I set the color to random for SMS the lights dnt stay on when the phone is in sleep mode....

so I guess i need to do the same for missed calls
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
And anything else that well give you a notification. Changing them to dark colors is supposed to turn them off too

i am still having horrible battery on the newest nightly with the stock kernel, it will never go past 95% when charged, and only drops in 5% increments. anyone have any thoughts
[Captivate Android Development] capita:
Yea. Having the same issue as well with the volume aadjustment window. Odd never seen this before on previous builds.
[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
I've recently noticed this as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
I have a (very) minor issue to report.

When you first open the Music app (clear data to see what I'm talking about), scrolling through songs is very laggy and choppy.

But once you start playing a song and back out to the song list, it's silky smooth; the way it's supposed to be.

Anyone else experience this? Try it!

Settings>Applications>All>Music>Clear Data

When you have no song selected in the background, scrolling is laggy.

Any way we can get the beach wallpaper from 2.2 on cm7???
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
i am on the latest nightly as well and i do not notice this issue
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
You wouldn't happen to have a link to those Aries modems would you? I've only really used a GB (i think) modem and JK4, so I don't know about the aries ones.
[Captivate Android Development] metalgeek:
For those that get the black screen on the camera app after installing CM7, I did a factory, cache & dalvick cache wipe in Clockwork Recovery which fixed the preview.

Help with update

Hi all, thanks again from the great Mod.

So after installing the latest nightly update, i am now stuck at the "boot" screen with the little skateboard android guy. It just goes through the animation over and over.

Before i start just trying stuff, what is the correct action here? Should i redo the nightly or do i have to start over or something else?

Thanks in advance!!
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
Is there a way to adjust the led buttons only turning on briefly after touch?

I prefer the led buttons to stay on while the screen is on. Makes it easier to hit correct button in low light.

I realize this an intentional change, but wondering if there is a way to go back to the prior behavior. Didn't see the setting under cyanogenmod settings but maybe I missed it?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Just reboot, its a known bug. Second boot will boot up.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Its part of the led notification changes. There's no way to turn it off without switching to a different kernel or editing the code yourself.
[Captivate Android Development] kingrye:
I have tried rebooting and it still sticks on the boot screen.

I also re-applied the nightly and it didnt seem to make any difference.

Do i have to "start over"? Do i have to go through all those initial steps once more?
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Had this problem. I got it to reboot after I pulled the battery and let it stay out for about 30 seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
No. First boot will probably never boot up, second boot will just take a very long time. Do you have adb installed? Type adb shell, then su, then logcat. If you see a lot of stuff involving "dex", then it's booting, it'll just take a while. If you want, you can type logcat > /mnt/sdcard/log.txt, then exit, exit, adb pull /mnt/sdcard/log.txt log.txt, and upload the log.txt file here for me to take a look at.
[Captivate Android Development] esancakt:
any luck on the MMS issue? i'm still stuck on 4/28 and no camera on that release :(

Hello,

Sorry ask this question here, I have been reading all post, however I believe I missed it or not there.

What is a safe 2.2 rom to use then processed to installing CM 7 I have it on one device already but it was using old way

Keep up the good work!

God Bless

Christopher
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you don't need to be on any specific ROM. this will even work from stock eclair.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
I think he is referring to the new instructions that say flash from a rom with a 2.2 bootloader which I was also curious about.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
that's only for people who flashed the i9000 gingerbread ROM. if you haven't changed bootloaders, then this doesn't matter to you.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Any ideas on what's causing the bootloop?

Is it kernel or Rom or both?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Check the stickied modem thread, it says if the modem is aries or not. Just don't flash those modem .zip files.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
It was the sensor servers, if the github is anything to go by.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Are you having trouble with MMS from iPhones? Or other types as well? All the ones I've seen till now were iPhones, and they're sending a badly formatted MMS (or we're reading it badly, which is very possible). Since the code is actually in common code, the 2.3.4 merge seems to have caused this, but I haven't been able to track this down deeply yet. I am not even sure whether to give this priority since it is just MMS and there are alternatives (and at the moment it looks like iPhones!).
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
LOL way to be, Apple!!!! there is an easy solution... tell all ur stupid iFriends to email u photos. Its just as easy lololol.
[Captivate Android Development] spiritssight:
Hi,

Just making sure there is nothing needed when coming from stock GB 2.2 (AT&T)

Edit: I ask this because I know that some bootloaders can be locked

God Bless,

Christopher
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
phone went from 55% last night to dead in a matter of about 4 hours. charged it up over night, took it off the charger today and it has dropped 10% in about 30 minutes at idle. could there be an app that would cause this or should i flash to stock and reflash
[Captivate Android Development] kschumake83:
The only thing you need is to be able to read directions to a tee. If you are on stock 2.2 you are fine, only have to worry if you flashed the gb leak 2.3
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Same here.
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
All of the MMS download failures I have experienced have all come from iPhones.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
I made the mistake of trying out the network 2G/3G toggle. Now I have no signal and constant com.android.phone force closes

Two questions:

1. How do I recover from this?

I tried flashing the latest nightly, but the force closes remain.

2. Where are current issues documented so somebody doesn't make the same mistake? I read the FAQ, but there was no mention of this

Thanks for helping!
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Help me out, guys...

What's the current consensus for quality of life with CM7 on cappy? (especially from those of you who use CM7 on other devices)

I've been using CM7 builds on N1 since before nightly builds were even officially released, and am extremely familiar with which N1 bugs persist and how to handle them. However... I am considering installing CM7 on a friend's cappy, but they are truly a civilian android user. It seems, from my occasional browsing in this thread, that this has started to become a fairly "stable" build. Friend is using Cog 4.3, now, which isn't exactly bug-free. Are there any current CM7 cappy bugs that would be a showstopper for a non-geek? Would also be nice for me to not hear them ***** about the full-wipe process each time I incrementally update their phone.

Thanks for any thoughts or opinions :)
[Captivate Android Development] kschumake83:
I would like to consider myself a non geek, I am a construction worker, but I run Ubuntu on my PC so I don't know how you want to take me. There are no show stoppers for me in fact almost everything works better than stock and is very fast. I have tried almost every rom out there and always come back. The only thing geekish about this rom is the initial flash and if you can read it isn't that bad.

PS. I also run cm7 on my nook color, its at about the same stage if not a little bit better
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
1. Factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe

2. it's clearly listed in the installation instructions as a known bug (in the section titled KNOWN BUGS no less).

install it, faster and smoother than any samsung ROM, just don't expect the best battery life in the world.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Honestly? Don't do it - it still isn't doing everything a straight Samsung ROM can do that people want. We're working on it, just not there yet. Doing it on your own phone, sure. Doing it on someone else's, no.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
when i reboot using power botton... my wifi get messed up... is that happening to anyone/
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
All of this is great input, guys! Really appreciate your thoughts on the matter!!!

Ya...that concern has been the main obstacle to me installing it for them. I can't honestly say that I know which features "Samsung" roms offer that are unique. I only installed Cog to get them on a froyo build forever ago. I really just want them to be on 2.3.4, able to trust the stock kernel, and to be able to enjoy the "evolution" without all of the wipes. If they don't like it, I guess that's why we nandroid, right?? :eek:

Hope I'm not dumbing the thread down, here...appreciate your CM7 work over here, Atinm.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Anyone that knows me here can you tell I was extremely addicted to ROM Flashing...that is until CM7 ....I have not flashed any roms in a LONG time except for CM7 updates...that is the BIGGEST prove I can offer of how good this is....Lagfixes? Ha, this ROM is as lag free as I can imagine a ROM can be...no lagfix I ever applied was on part with this Rom...not even close.

There is nothing really missing from this ROM that even tempts me to go back to any other.

Regards
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Really couldn't ask for much more of a stellar endorsement!

Thanks! :D
[Captivate Android Development] :
I wasn't able to get MMS to download from anyone I asked to send one. One was an iPhone, one was a Palm Pixi, and one was a Samsung dumb phone. But as I mentioned before, the most recent release installed in the new way also altered my IMEI. No clue if they're related, but first time I've had that happen.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
if your IMEI is messed up, it's unrelated to CM7. likely your EFS was messed up before installing as we literally don't do anything to EFS except copy and paste it. did you ever check to see if your IMEI was correct immediately before installing CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Sure did. Flashed back to stock 2.1 before using the new installation technique. All was well, as it has been every other time I've flashed CM7. Didn't realize the IMEI was messed up until I installed an app that (I assume) uses it to import profile information and noticed I had someone else's profile. Went and checked and noticed it was wildly different. It's worked without any problems on all other CM7 installs I've done. So I was perplexed.

So I'm not sure how, but it IS related to CM7. And my IMEI wasn't permanently messed up... because as soon as I flashed back to stock again after running into this issue, it's correct again. Flashed a different ROM... still correct. Flashed CM7 again using the new method - wrong.

But I'm not a developer. So anybody else's guess is as good as mine.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
hahaha you are welcome! :D
[Captivate Android Development] slayp00n:
Guys latest nightly wont flash from 04..I get install aborted ddevice prop and board error
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the only thing I can suggest is doing a master clear/formating internal sd before installing as it seems something is interfering in the process as CM7 doesn't do more than copy and paste and the userland reads that information. so either the copy/paste is failing somewhere, somehow or there's a corrupt file on your sd card that isn't being overwritten somehow
[Captivate Android Development] slayp00n:
confirmed the problem is that the cwm flash for the galaxy s is in the folder on sourceforge for the capy? WTF.. when browsing on a small phone screen you might not notice... Why is it in there in the first place?
[Captivate Android Development] :
That's part of my flashing to stock process anyway. Flash to stock.. master clear... install CM7. Odd that flashing another ROM using the same process doesn't end up in a changed IMEI. Even MIUI, which is CM7 based, yes? Hence my thinking it's a CM7 thing. Could be wrong, though.

As I've said, I'm not a developer... but would an incorrect IMEI be the cause of the MMS problem? If so, has anyone else who's had a problem with MMS checked their IMEI?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
It's possible that the new flashing setup doesn't properly run the efsbackup/restore scripts. I haven't looked into it too closely myself, but that's one possible scenario.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
worked just fine on my phone as well the other people who tested it (it's not like it was released without testing). my IMEI is still sane.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
I hear 720p recording is working on the latest i9000 nightly. :eek:

Does this mean 720p recording is just around the corner for us Cappy users? :D
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
That's what the twitter feed has been talking about....:)
[Captivate Android Development] :
My thought, as well. Just odd that it's not universal. I'll be shocked if it's just me, though. I'd be curious to see if other people having MMS problems are also experiencing this.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Omg. This is so exciting. I love how fast this is all going.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Wondering if I should start using twitter. :confused:

Never have used it yet.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
It'll update you on all the developments, so its definitely worth it.
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
That would be hawt!
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
I want to come back to CM7 after my brief affair with the I9000 2.3.3 roms... The instructions now say "Make sure you're running a 2.2 (Froyo) bootloader. If you're on Gingerbread, downgrade to JPU or something." I plan to do a 1-Click odin to stock (2.1), the way i had installed CM7 earlier, and am assuming that the bootloaders for 2.2 are the same as in 2.1... Please correct (and direct) me if i am wrong.

Thanks!

Yaantra
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Yep, that's fine.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Does anyone know what's the reason for cm7 failing to setup imei?

(actual technical reason)
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
i still am not understanding these battery issues

only going down at 5% increments and only lasted about 5-6 hours today at idle

i love everything about the rom other then that atm
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Have you done a full wipe and reflash? I lasted 5 hours of idle and dropped about 10% total (and this is with a 55% overclock).
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I'm at 15 hours and still have 31% left. Don't know why yours only shows 5% increments and has such bad battery life. Did you restore and stuff that may have caused the problem?
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
yes i have done the full wipe and reflash a few times. are there any apps that you can think of that would drain the battery like this? also would using the mattedblues theme have anything to do with the 5% increments. also what is a good task manager to use.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Matted Blues changes how your battery is presented in the status bar to 5% increments, yes. Go to Settings > About Phone > Status, the actual battery percentage is in there. As for apps, do you use anything that would keep the phone awake, such as music? Look under Battery Usage, tell me what's using up the most.
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
looks like

Cell Standby - 33% 10h53m29s

Display - 24% 21m26s

Phone Idle - 13% 10h32m29s

Android System - 10% 12m

Dialer - 8% 12m

Android OS - 3% 1m47s

Market - 2% 1m30s

Temp+CPU Pro - 2% 1m31s

Maps - 2m34s

i never used the Maps either. this was at a supposed full charge but the battery started at 95%. right now i am at 32%, does that seem right to you guys, there was a 12 minute call and i installed like one app and the rest of that time was screen off in standby, seems like i should get more battery then that.....idk though you tell me

only reason i am asking is cause before i flashed i kept stock for 2 days and in that whole time whit stock even with moderate usage i only went down like 17% battery in 2 days
[Captivate Android Development] lmoore55:
This is the first time i have used this. only noticed a few problems at first but fixed them as they came up.

No lockscreen, went directly to home screen from screen off.

Home soft key wasnt working. haptic feedback was working but soft key did nothing

no sound what so ever

Did a factory wipe/reset and all was well until my messaging app stopped working. Would force close when pressing send. i believe it had something to do with changing it from a white background to a black background. has anyone else had any problems with the messaging app?

Once again a factory wipe/reset fixed all. been getting everything setup all day and had pretty good battery life. Lasted about 4 hours of some hard use. Im talking flashing modems and downloading new apps as well as reading many thread replies on this thread. Multiple speed tests as well as plenty of texting.

As far as modems go im having the most luck with the JL3 modem. Only getting 3500kbs up/250kbs up. Not sure if there is something better out there for me but i have tried all modems on the cm7 forums listed for the cappy. If i am able to use another modem please let me know.

Overall i have been jumping around from rom to rom for about 2 months now and this is my first gb rom. I like what i am seeing except a few fc's here and there. Nothing that isnt expected so no worries. Oh almost forgot. If you are doing a lot of the phone while it is charging it will get very hot. just sit it down for about 5 minutes for it to cool off and all will be normal again.

If anybody knows something about any of the problems i have had please feel free to point out what my mistake was, as i have not been doing this very long and am still very much a noob.

\\Thanks

- 720p recording

- libcamera hacked to support gtalk video

is uploaded.

Please reinstall GApps 0503 after you install this update.
[Captivate Android Development] syl0n:
Nice work! is 720p @ 30fps smooth? :D
[Captivate Android Development] rivtre:
Gtalk?Does it mean video chat?But how ?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
The GTalk's actually for the other phones (w/ FFC), tho hopefully we don't crash. I haven't actually tried.

Please reinstall GApps 0503 after you install this update.
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Focus on what is important: volume window font is back to normal!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Makes for a nice Monday morning! Thanks. I'm gonna go record something ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
So what excuse are those of you still on crapwiz going to use now?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
And I can still use the most recent Escapist kernel without losing the new upgrade stuff right?

Awesome job btw!!!
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I'm *pretty* sure its just a userspace lib change. I know there hasn't been any changes kernel wise (other than fsa sleep).
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I think I can trust you :-)

Thanks man, will try and report.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Wow, loving the notable updates every few days. You guys are on a roll.

As for the new gTalk client, the 0503 client is from here correct?

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/

The file: gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip

Right?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
I guess after this update of 720p recording there's only one thing Samsung versions do that CM7 does not: suck.

Not that 720p mattered that much to be a deal breaker :)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
The only thing missing is video playback accelaration but luckily Moboplayer is just amazingly good so it does not bother me. If the stupid dev of JARCADE made his program compatible with gingerbread...it would be perfect for me. ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
in all of my devices/smartphones, i never use the default video player....all the third party stuff does the job.....

mobo is awesome! with subs and audio support....:)
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
i been having a wifi problem and im hoping a fresh install of cm7 would fix the problem

I have a question on a NEWway how to flash the new CM7... so from a stock enclair what kernel should i flash that has "Reboot into "Stock 2e" or "ClockworkMod" so i can flash the NEW"update-cm-7-INITIAL-captivate-signed.zip"
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Stock 2e is the standard recovery, you don't need to flash any other kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I think the issue is with 720p mkv files. IIRC
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
so i dont need to use ESF and stuff

soo from stock enclair..

1. put the phone on download mode and flash the NEW kernel-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip

2. turn off the phone and reboot to recovery to flash the new update-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip (wipe cache and dalvik and reboot the phone)

3. apply the new nightly?

am i correct?
[Captivate Android Development] ryandelman:
This is what I did, and no problems so far. Also, I've flashed and reflashed the bootloaders/kernel for this ROM many times after kicking the tires with other GB ROMs and never have had any trouble.

-Ryan
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
thanks ryan.. i just want to make sure i got this right... i know how to flash the old way but the new one seem way faster and less procedure..

flashing right now ...
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
No.

You could just read the CyanogenMod for SGS instructions carefully and actually follow them step by step. We linked them for a reason . . . and they are correct.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
i did read the instruction... i thought the stock enclair doesn't have the ClockworkMod so how do i install the initial kernel
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Name it update.zip and choose reinstall packages.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
We do expect you to be somewhat familiar with your phone's workings before you start installing CM7.

Samsung's bootloader (Stock 2e recovery is the one that is unlocked, so you have to use that) uses update.zip and will happily flash it from reinstall packages if it likes the signature. So you rename the kernel zip to that and flash it. Or you can use ROM Manager to install the kernel zip. Once it is flashed however you managed to flash it, it will reboot (or reboot it yourself) into recovery, and it'll be CWM. After than you can flash the update initial zip using CWM.
