so you mean the "RIL polling issue" that's clearly listed as a known bug in the OP? do people not even pretend to read anymore? =/
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
Latest nightly

Looks like the latest nightly is up!

EDIT: Never mind... it's says BAD
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I was just about to say it is named BAD.zip

Maybe they are testing us to see how many will install a bad download zip without paying attention to the name :)

New update going up with both sdcards available usb =)
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Nice......
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it says "bad" because it's a new update that is using code not yet submitted to gerrit, so it's out of mainline on a couple things (mountserver and vold, for instance)... it actually works fine, but may have some bugginess.

changes, as stated by techmik, include working USB share of BOTH internal and external sd cards onto your computer

edit: ha, nevermind, it's been pulled to discuss the patches more amongst the team... should work for anyone who *already* has it, but please do not mirror or share it.
[Captivate Android Development] weedolo9y:
Ok I've really flashed about ten times still don't have the android market app and also I managed to get titanium backup on there but I can only get one app to install before I'm out of memory I really like this Tom is there a way to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
This seems to happen on the first time you install gapps and open market. I also had to use android Id changer from the market to get my correct phone ID set. The other issue on the first time is that the market is trying to download MANY apps at the same time. For me it was like 20-30 apps that were automatically being installed or downloaded. I was able to stop some of them by clicking on the app being downloaded and hit cancel. Once enough of them are done downloading/installing it will go back to normal. Then the ones that didn't download or you hit cancel you can go to My Apps and see which one can be updated and then install them one at a time if you want. I would also suggest to turn on your wifi first which should help with the downloading or unsuccessful downloading on the first time of opening market.

[Captivate Android Development] weedolo9y:
Prob is I don't have a marketplace .... none at all
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
well first you must install the gapps.zip

i also have a question regarding this though. is it normal for alot of apps to get an install error, i mean are alot of apps not compatible, there are quite a few for me, i.e.... voltage control, titanium back pro key, facebook....... just trying to find out if i am doing something wrong
[Captivate Android Development] weedolo9y:
Where can I find this gapps.zip
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
nope, I rarely have this happen and when I do I just download/install it again and it works fine.

I guess you should read through all the instructions again because it explains clearly where to get it and how to install it.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
i underestimated how many people install this ROM without reading the instructions. I now see where your frustration comes from. And quite honestly it's amazing they got this far without doing so..:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
yeah i have tried reinstalling i just keep getting the same thing

installation of ...... unsuccesful
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
factory reset/cache wipe would be my next best guess
[Captivate Android Development] jpzamora090905:
same is happening to me... just updated and everything working fine.. but there is no marketplace :S

EDIT: ok problem solved... you just have to install the google apps software
[Captivate Android Development] weedolo9y:
anyone running into this problem??? so every time i reboot my phone i lose all my apps and everything and the select language screen pops up when i boot i also dont recieve texts even though people right next to me are texting i like gingerbread but this rom is just problem after problem MIUI was easy no problems but yet this is the most widespread ginger rom ..... i cant be the only one with this problem ive read through countless pages of this thread and the faq ... nothing
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
I have seen now my friend thanks. I can speak very little english so I wasnt find that issue because I dont know what is that mean "ril polling issue" until you mention it. thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
How is this rom working, is it stable with data and everything yet?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
It sounds like you flashed a wrong version file. Make sure you are only flashing files that have "CAPTIVATE" in the name.....
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
don't bother reading the first post, or cyanogenmod forum post, or the issue tracker, I guess... which all list the known bugs and working state.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
For me , is the best ROM ever but READ the OP many times before installing as everything you need to install it correctly is there.

We see a lot of people complaining, with errors, etc...because they cannot read ....we like to help but when people ask things they should know already if they had taken the time to read the OP...most of us dont take that kindly. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
FYI:

new release of the platypus (custom) kernel with working sensors & auto-rotation !

04/09/2011 (release name: flubber; WIP - work in progress release)

for discussions & more please post in the posted above link

thanks & enjoy ! :)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
github? is this just my fixes that broke usb tethering?
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yes that commit does it ;)

I'm not using usb tethering so having access to the external SD card is more important (at least for me) right now than having tethering

thank you very much for the fix ! :)
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Resurrecting an old question... if LbsTestMode is not available, is there a way to adjust GPS setting in CM7? Or is all the work PlumbBob is doing of no use when using CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
I took a quick look through his 2.0 zip and most of the files in it are different. If I remember right, cm7 is using a different driver then Samsung based roms. I don't think much of his changes are compatible, but I haven't looked at the XML very closely to see if there is anything that can be tweaked.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Uploaded new build. It enables USB mounting for both internal and external SD cards, but breaks USB tethering. I figured most people need both SD cards more than they need USB tethering but if you need USB tethering, don't install this until I am able to get RNDIS and UMS to live together.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Is there anything different between the newest build and the one labeled BAD that was put up yesterday for a brief time?

Sent from My KickAss Captivated CM7 OC'd 1.4Ghz/Undervolted
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Appreciate your efforts on this. Was following your progress on irc and know how time consuming it was. I don't tether so this is a big plus.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
It is a complete pain in the ass, RNDIS and UMS just don't want to live together and I have to read up on USB 2.0 specs to figure out why bad CDC descriptors are being sent up.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Love having the USB working mate...great job!
[Captivate Android Development] amarpatel:
ahh I'm so tempted to flash this...all I need is a high res camera and I'm flashing this puppy!
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Vignette from the market is able to take 5mp pictures....:)
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
so after flashing the most recent nightly, i have a few problems. My web browser fc's, and my keyboard doesnt show up whenever i need to type something. anyone else having this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I got Vignette to try out a picture and I honestly wish I could have returned it. The Anti-Shake is terrible and the zoom needs to be refined. If I could only figure out how to fix the scroll buttons zoom in the stock camera.
[Captivate Android Development] spacecase-25:
Can updates be skipped? Can I got from 3/29/11 to 4/09/11 or do I need to hit 4/02/11 along the way?
[Captivate Android Development] nlancaster:
yes, just install the latest update.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Just flash the latest and you will have all the updates.
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
Sourceforge is down.

edit: nvm it's up now
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
its working for me
[Captivate Android Development] bazald:
I seem to be experiencing wifi errors after upgrading to 04102011. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Edit: Restoring 04022011 fixed the issue for me.
[Captivate Android Development] phat_cow:
I still can't seem to get HSPA to work. I have made sure 850 is enabled before flashing. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
logcat? dmesg? better explanation of what you mean by "wifi errors"

a) enabling 850 MHz band before flashing doesn't affect anything as the previous modem is 100% completely overwritten

b) 850 MHz band has nothing to do with HSPA

c) if you have a Canadian captivate, it's a known "issue" that they don't display HSPA even though they're connected to HSPA-quality speeds (use the speedtest app in the market to test)
[Captivate Android Development] bazald:
I have to charge my battery before trying the update again, but I mean that in Settings, the descriptive text for "Wi-Fi" simply says "Error", and the checkbox cannot be checked. Same for "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot".
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
did you, perchance, flash another kernel besides the one it came with?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I have had that in the past where I think I remember someone saying it was a mismatched initial zip with update zip. I could be wrong and haven't had that issue since one of the first initial zip. Which initial zip did you start with? Maybe try the newest initial zip- the 18th one (not initial kernel) then flash the newest update-todays.

Sent from My KickAss Captivated CM7 OC'd 1.4Ghz/Undervolted
[Captivate Android Development] bazald:
I didn't actually. Perhaps I connected my usb cable too early in the boot process after doing the update?

To RockRatt: I'm actually based on the latest initial.zip. I haven't had problems with the earlier updates.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
try reflashing the update and if the error persists, go to recovery and do a factory reset/cache wipe and then try applying the update again. you'll have to set your apps up again, but that's the only way to rule out the kernel as being the problem
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
Thank you for the quick response. Was staying in CWM cause I was afraid DX
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Battery needs some more testing. I am at 33% after 5.5 hrs but that's with 3hrs 50 minutes screen time :) All wifi no reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Omg this is AMAZING. Very good instructions. Beautiful ROM. One thing. My network indicator in my status bar is White. I've tried changing themes but it stays white and everything else changes. How do you change it to green?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
wifi is the biggest battery killer as of right now. turn it off and watch your battery life double (or more)

you must sync a gmail account first
[Captivate Android Development] Willis111:
wipe = factory reset

Could we symlink /whatever to the external xd directory and having it working like that?
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
Great work Atimn and all the CMSGS Team, its running great on my phone!
[Captivate Android Development] bpodz34:
Two questions. Can i flash this over fusion beta or syrendipity? And when new builds get released will they push to my phone ota?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
anything with all ext4 will work

no, not OTA yet
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I'm assuming this is because CyanogenMod for galaxy s is built using Nexus S but I received an email from google welcoming me for purchasing a Nexus S.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
that's actually more because of the build fingerprint we use, more than anything (which does come from the nexus s)
[Captivate Android Development] rnewton01:
any way to get swype working on this?

don't realize how much i miss BLN until it's not there. Love this ROM though.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yeah, sign up for the swype beta and wait till the next release cycle
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
I am assuming HSDPA is supported on CM7 if we had it enabled on our previous rom but mine went back to UMTS :/
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
This is such a smooth ROM, can't wait for the real deal :)
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
im gonna try to redownload xda from the market, maybe im having issues because its a titanium backup

i, too, am getting poor battery life.

i just hope they get the sound output fixed and ill be a happy camper....that was my favorite thing about voodoo kernels
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it should be. run a speed test just to make sure.

real deal? this IS the real deal :)
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Since the "secret codes" are not in CM, is there a way to disable HSDPA? I don't really need it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no, you'd have to flash back to a stock samsung ROM to do so (requires repartition in ODIN)
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
Haha I know! But for more stability and such. And trust me I'm just loving this ROM. Great work to the devs. Just hope that we have someone cook up a kernel with some Voodoo sound.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I'm in my third attempt at installing this today. It was working fine but decided to start over due to some pretty bad performance issues I was having this past week.

Went back to stock, installed Serendipity 6.3, ran the efs backup, installed the CWM3 kernel via odin, deleted data, cache and system, installed the initial package, wiped system/factory reset.

When I reboot I get back to recovery though. Not sure what am I missing... doesn't matter what I do I get back to CWM. Anyone else has had a similar issue before?
[Captivate Android Development] bazald:
No dice. logcat excerpts:

Restoring again... :-/
[Captivate Android Development] amarpatel:
I'm having some trouble. I flash the initial zip just fine, but then I try to install GApps, and then I get stuck in a reboot cycle. I get the "touch android" screen briefly, but then my phone starts booting. Tried reflashing the zip, and then the update...now I'm at the Galaxy S/Cyanogen(mod) screen.

whatdo?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
wiped system/factory reset? don't wipe system as that will leave you with an non-booting ROM.

hmm, that seems quite odd... are you using the latest build available? as it's been tested by numerous people on the team and wifi, usb tether, wifi tether, and usb sharing of both sd cards has been confirmed working by numerous people.

logcat? cat /proc/last_kmsg? dmesg?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Link dmesg output pls.
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
So after installing this rom, I've noticed that having a task manager such as SystemPanel or OS Monitor or even Android Task Manager all don't work. They work initially, but then if/when you restart the phone they cause the android media process to force close, along with the task manager apsp. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] shawn.ferris:
I have all three installed and have no problems. Wipe dalvik perhaps?
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
I tried that. Not sure why it keeps happening, it works at first but then the problem arises when I restart the phone. I'll try it again though. Which version are you using? I was on the 4/2/11, perhaps maybe that's why?
[Captivate Android Development] bassnfool:
sdcard mount...

Just leting you know that I was unable to mount the sdcards, both internal and external. The computer runs fedora 14. Phone would not leave the mount USB dialog. Using the 04/10/2011 update.
[Captivate Android Development] mikewong27:
AFter installing the latest rom, I could not get my Wifi to work anymore. I was coming from the April 2 2011 rom. I will try to go back to that rom again and see if my wifi is back to normal.
[Captivate Android Development] zas0006:
After flashing the latest update my wifi no longer works. It just says error when I try to turn it on. Tried rebooting and reflashing the update to no avail. I can provide logcat if needed. Just wanted to see if someone else is having this issue and knows a resolution.

Edit: didn't see the previous post till after I hit submit.
[Captivate Android Development] mikewong27:
I have the exact same issue. Went back to April 2 rom and wifi is working agian. I will stay with this rom until a newer fix comes out.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
For people with wifi issues WHICH initial kernel version did you start with? Also initial zip? I had this with the earliest initial's ANYTIME I tried to swap kernels until I started fresh with the 3-18 initial kernel then 3-18 initial zip. Since then I can change/swap different kernels (the OC KERNELS. and back to stock kernels) without any problems with wifi errors. Just what I had seen in my case ymmv.

PS. I am on the most recent 4-10 update and my wifi is working ok, been on it since last night around 3AM.

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
hmm, odd... as it has been tested on both ubuntu linux and windows machines... perhaps try power cycling (rebooting both the phone and the computer) and try again? are you seeing the "Turn on USB Storage" option and it's just not completing successfully, or is the option to attempt to mount not even showing up?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Just installed the latest nightly and wifi works fine for me...
[Captivate Android Development] weedolo9y:
ok just installed the new nighty (4-10) im now stuck at the at&t world phone screen.... didnt backup cuz it was just an upgrade lost everything!!!! sounds like this new update is nothing but problems .. reflashing and sticking with the 4/9 nighty
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Quick question.

Now that usb mounting is working, is there anyway to install the drivers to be able to mount the usb without having to download the Android sdk? I want it be able to mount on my work computer to get pictures/etc, but I can not install the android sdk on my work computer.
[Captivate Android Development] goonner:
+1 same problem :(
[Captivate Android Development] bazald:
Assuming last_kmsg is what you want, here you go.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
I had that happen as well. A reboot fixed it for me.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
You don't need the android sdk to mount it on a linux machine. Maybe you should burn a linux live CD and boot into it from work where you can mount your harddrive and your phone and transfer files between the two without changing your work computer.

Sounds like a PITA, but it would most likely work. Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
I also am having this. Started from the first release. I haven't reflashed with the new initial. Should we have?
[Captivate Android Development] stevesteveLA:
Hey mikewong... why did you go back all the way to 4/2? Did the 4/9 update not have working wifi either?
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
I went from 4/2 to 4/10 and did a clean install and my Wifi is not working either. When I go to wireless & network settings under the Wifi area it states "error". There is no error code.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Running latest nightly and wifi working perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
I've flashed this before with no problems but I have a question since there's been some updates.

Flashing from stock and master clear, I'll flash speedmod kernel via odin to get clockworkmod & then go from there, do I need to install any of the NIGHTLY updates? it says cm7-captivate-initial-20110318 - nothing about 4/10/11...So if I install cm7-captivate-initial-20110318 do I still have to install the nightly?
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
yes then just install the latest because it's cumulative i think
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
flashed the 0410 nightly and can't get past kernel screen.. Tried reflashing, rebooting.. sits at cyanogenmod kernel screen. bummah:o

..and when i dl the file size shrinks for some reason. starts at 88.9MB, and when I DL it, it says 84.8MB. Pretty damn confused at this point.

*EDIT*eye yie yie.. installed it through my PC, flashed it.. all is well. Still a little confused, but i got it sorted out.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I flashed the latest nightly twice now.

When I try to mount the SD-Card its freezes my phone and I am unable to mount my SD card to my computer

I have a Mac, I dont know what Im doing wrong any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Actually no, I want the dmesg output since this wasn't a crash/reboot but rather what looks like a flash that is still using old kernel modules with a new kernel or vice versa. Same goes for everyone having trouble with their wifi - I need a dmesg to look at, that is what would tell us whether you have some mix/match going on because that is what it sounds like right now.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Works fine on a Mac here. No logcat and dmesg, it didn't happen.
[Captivate Android Development] bazald:
dmesg attached.
[Captivate Android Development] zas0006:
Here is the dmesg output from my system. Figured more data is (almost) never a bad thing.

[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Are you intentionally running a kernel from 4/2? If not, you have a bad flash and need to redo the flash. Please re-download the 04/10/2011 build and install it. At the moment it seems your kernel didn't get updated when you updated. The problem could be on our end, but please try to repeat the process and report back if it fails.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Just stopping by to say awesome work. :)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Same problem - try a reinstall. It is possible that a recent change to our install process is breaking for some people who have bad blocks in their boot partition so please report back if a re-download and install works or not.
[Captivate Android Development] bazald:
Not intentionally, no. I've already checked the md5sum, and the zip is good. I've also done the flash multiple times. Other suggestions? Go back to initial and skip the other updates?
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
Same.. Was on 4/2, wiped cache.. installed 4/10 and now WiFi will not work, states "error". Restored my nandroid backup from 4/2 and will wait for WiFi to work again on the latest builds.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Yeah.

:p
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
After flashing the latest nightly my phone won't boot into recovery, just stays at the initial "I896" screen. I can still get into download mode by holding the volume keys and plugging USB. I was going to flash the initial kernel then try restoring my nandroid that I made before flashing the nightly. Is this the best plan, or should I be trying to flash a newer kernel with odin?

Thanks
