Totally just tried that, no luck. Also did a factory reset from clockwork recovery, wiped cache, and reinstalled gapps with no luck.

Think I'm just gonna use one click to get back to stock and start over with a clean device....
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Yes, one-click back to stock then go through the steps listed.

does anyone know how to change the font on this ROM? I tried Type Fresh and it doesn't work. I also tried putting the font files into the folder where all the fonts are and I just ended up getting a bootscreen loop! anyone have any input on this?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Fontchanger from the market. You also have to make sure you have the correct file types for the fonts.

Hi,

I am just wondering on CM 7 when updating colck work mode recovery do I select samsung captivate or nexus s?

I know my phone is a captivate but aosp is based on the Nexus s correct?

I know the kernels are completely different.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I just wonder what you have on your mind right now? :D:eek:

What are you upgrading it for anyway? I never upgrade or use it at all really.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
LOLOL Thanks,

But I am still wondering.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
You are right - but the WM8994 chip that is in the Galaxy S phones including Captivate is one of the better DACs out there and it has very good specs: links. Wolfson makes very good audio codecs and the issue is that the driver we have doesn't use all the capabilities. It makes me want to take up the driver myself, use the code that Wolfson has provided rather than just Samsung's driver and see what I can do with the sound.

To the people experiencing skipping, where does your music library sit? Internal or External SD? Some of this might be related to buffering and we may need to tweak the buffering for SD.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Don't update clockworkmod recovery - leave the whole thing as it is installed on CM7. The ROM Manager from the market that updates clockworkmod recovery is meant for Froyo and will not work on CM7. Many of the other functions won't work from ROM Manager either. If you want to use the functions that are part of clockworkmod recovery (like backup/restore - nandroid that is) use backup/restore from clockworkmod recovery directly by going into recovery using 3 button.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
ok I have already updated and integrated with ti-backup can someone post the correct rommanager?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Just reflash the update.
[Captivate Android Development] AndroidFann:
Facebook app issues

Anyone having issues with the Facebook app installed? After a few days of regular use all of my apps start to crash until the app is uninstalled, then everything goes back to normal. Its really odd.. Just wanted to see if anyone else is getting these errors.

[Captivate Android Development] johnyhoffman:
I just reflashed the update package and as is well. Will provide better details and a logcat next time, sorry, just really haven't had any issues with CM7 excepting the known/stated ones. Thanks for the reply though.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Sigh... PRE-ALPHA says it all man. Yes this will work for a daily driver BUT don't expect everything to work properly. The CMSGS team is working some serious magic with this project. Give it time.

[Captivate Android Development] g1ddy:
Find the following from a 2.2 Samsung based ROM:

/system/app/Swype.apk

/system/lib/libSwypteCore.so

and copy it over worked flawless for me.

I can't get the old samsung camera and or stock video player (has divx support) to work =(

I know that the camera has CameraFirmware.apk file that needs to be copied over as well but that didn't work and video player has a couple of dlna and divx apk's too which makes it even harder to get those to work. ANybody got any advice?
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
working fantastic on this end.. Installed over Serendipity 5.12.

Instructions were perfect, except for missing the part after

Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo and apply captivate-efsbackup.zip.

Need to tell people to put the phone in download mode then

Flash cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar as pda using odin without auto-reboot

I am seeing alot of people in irc asking that question.

Other than that, I just restored all my apps with Tibu and everything is working great..
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Eugene cooked up a voodoo kernel for cm7 for the vibrant. Might be a starting place for someone.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
was it just the regular CM7 kernel with voodoo integrated?
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
Yeah hopefully someone can make it.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
I think that's the thing i miss the most which is the hardware decoding for video.

Did you try copy over the divx libs over and try?

Also accelerator does not work in games.

Besides that this rom is so smooth especially in those piano apps finally playable
[Captivate Android Development] illmatic90:
Ok so I have been using this Rom for a good 6 hours now and it was working really well until about and hour ago that my home button just completely stopped working. Anybody else having this problem? Also I did a reboot to see if this would fix the problem and when it loaded back up again all the tweaks that I did (home screens, lock screen preferences etc.) were all reverted back to what came when i originally flashed it. None of my settings were saved! Is this a normal problem? Also my lockscreen no longer comes up at all no matter which one i choose. Any ideas? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Installed this earlier, seems to be working great so far. GPS was already much improved on my new Captivate (still a 1007, oddly), but it's absolutely spot-on with this. Battery life is kind of poor so far compared to what I was using (Firefly 2.3), but I think it would still last a typical day, and getting WiFi sleep working will help a lot. A lot of the CM touches are really nice too, like the configurable notification pulldown power options, the 180-degree rotation, and the huge number of advanced configuration options.

A few bugs I don't see mentioned in the OP: There's no volume option for system sounds. File transfer over Bluetooth works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't; usually a reboot fixes it. Navigation messes up auto-rotation (I think this has been mentioned by someone else, too). GPU acceleration seems spotty (lots of missing textures in 3d applications, some menus are still really laggy). The option to change/turn off the camera shutter sound is missing.

Also, question: is it possible to make the auto-rotation toggle in the notification pulldown lock rotation to the current mode, rather than to portrait? This is the solitary feature of iOS I really like.

Anyways, excellent work, glad to see major progress being made. Looking forward to a final release! :)

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
feature not implemented yet

samsung apps like camera or video player will not work >_> as I've said plenty of times, anything needing to hook into samsung framework will not work

Kind of obvious since you're using ODIN. if you don't know to use download mode with ODIN, you've got some pretty big issues.

bluetooth is bugged right now and the auto-rotate bug *should* be an easy fix (according to GuiPer). you'd have to change the code in framework to modify auto-rotate features, but because it isn't a cyanogenmod feature, it won't be included in any of the cmsgsteam releases.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
got swype working easily. Just go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register. They'll send you a confirmation e-mail, confirm your account and then send a follow up e-mail with a swype-installer.apk. Download that, install it, run it and choose the 10MB version. Installed flawlessly for me and works just like it did on 2.2!
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I'd like to try this rom with the features and all but it seems complicated to install. I'm just used with cwm flashable roms. Lol.

[Captivate Android Development] apples2droids:
great job by the way! is there way we'll eventually be able to flash cm7 straight through cmw, and not need odin? not worried about an eta, just like to do it the easy way! :)
[Captivate Android Development] bveditz:
I'm wondering if pulling the Camera from the i9000 Gingerbread leak would work. I do prefer the functionality of the old camera. Of course, that said, the samsung camera app would almost always fail at the worst possible times randomly. Not sure if it was the hacked camera on the roms that was the problem since i never used the official roms. Its also possible the cyanogen camera app is just as good, i'm not used to it yet so i probably just haven't found everything.
[Captivate Android Development] Breakin' Ranh:
This is a beautiful rom, my compliments to the team and a donation will be forth coming... once I get my paycheck. Just wanna add quick, like all CM7 roms/phones I just had the fortunate pleasure of getting 'com.android.phone' force closing every second (i.e. no signal) after I finally had all my stuff restored haha. I already looked up that the only way to remedy this is to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and dalvik cache. I hope there's a better method for this >.< So a little word of advice, back up important stuff while being on this rom; do a nand backup, titanium, mybackup, whatever (lost a text conversation with gf just now and had "important" info lost lol). I don't know how I got the force close, I just rebooted my phone and it happened. Other than that, I'm digging this, and I hope everyone else as well.
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
Yeah looks good but needs work, I saw Eugene on the vibrant forums get alot of the bugs fixed with Voodoo sound and color. I'm just hoping we can get it going here on the Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
just so you guys are aware, our flashing a kernel with ODIN is the same as *every other phone* needing to flash a custom recovery with fastboot for cyanogenmod. you will ALWAYS need a custom kernel with a CWM3 recovery, so ODIN/heimdall will always be necessary.

I repeat, for the third time, anything hooking into samsung's framework will not work. while the AOSP camera app isn't the best in the world, you have all the features (just take times to figure them out), the interface just kinda blows.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
did you happen to restore system data with TiBu? because that's a great way to get random force closes.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Screen shots are down in op
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
that got nothing, so i took the rommanager from the init zip and pushed it with proper permissions to system apps then saw this when I try to flash cwm it still says 2.5.1.2 for newest clockwork recovery mode. it is the version from the nightly.

then I tried to clear data and push the new nightly to system apps with the correct permissions and rom manager disappeared.

??
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Tho' I have to say that Facebook app works fine for me . . . and I don't get any random crashes. On the other hand, I'm always flashing a new build every few hours (or even minutes), so I'm not representative.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Please don't try to flash cwm - it tries to flash the official CWM which is older than the one that we install. Think of ROM Manager and CWM as system applications and don't touch them. Any updates that you see are not meant for CM7 for Galaxy S phones - they are meant for Eclair/Froyo builds running Samsung ROMs. We have our own, updated customized CWM for CM7 that we install so please stop trying downgrade to an older, incompatible CWM. You'll only hurt your phone.

Just reflash the update from 4/12 and leave ROM Manager and CWM as installed by CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
thanks just the information I needed
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
anyone care to recoment any voodoo sound and bln kernels that work the best with the newest nightly?
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
When visiting the Captivate page on the teamhacksung sourceforge the top link says

Don't be dumb like I was and not read the whole file name.

[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Ouch. I didn't see that one listed when I looked.

Luckily when I tried to update with it, it just failed and let me reboot and download the correct file.

[Captivate Android Development] eatonjb:
im asking the question again because I think things have changed.

Im I correct to assume that we can put this ROM in now with the Clockwork update program, no hoops with 3 button and stuff?

also, I have a current 2.2.x custom rom (forgot what one) should I return to stock first?

thank you

car bluetooth

love cm7, but bluetooth in car is hit or miss. anyway I can change bluetooth files to 2.1 files, and which files would have to be changed
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Instructions are still the same and will be the same, most probably forever unless we're very lucky when Samsung drops Gingerbread. And except for the initial install, which is only done once, the steps are just "put update-cm7-XXXXXXXX-Captivate-signed.zip on sdcard, reboot into Clockwork recovery and choose install from sdcard". ROM Manager cannot do it because there is no way to pass command line arguments to the kernel and will never be able to unless something drastic changes.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Reading the instructions in the OP would have answered your questions.

Recovery can still only be accessed through 3 button. Nothing is flashed through Rom manager right now. Flashing to stock has never been a part of the install instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] nmandi:
Anyone care to help
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Can't get there from here. Go to 2.1 if you want to use 2.1 files...

can anyone help me with an issue I am having with cm7. I often get very very weak wifi performance / few wifi bars. what should i do about this
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
try my (custom) kernel

it includes a new WIFI driver that probably also will be included with new stock CM7 kernel releases

this should offer better reception and less battery consumption

instead of BLN it includes kang's/bilboa1's LED notification implementation

[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
Very true, im not gonna disagree with the improvements a portable amplifier can bring. I dunno, maybe its a placebo thing, but whenever I listen to an mp3, knowing its an mp3, i tend to be a little more critical. Ill probably buy one eventually, but this isnt cm7 related so ill end it there.

Thanks atinm for acknowledging my post, and attempting to resolve this potential bug. Ill stick with cm7, i can deal with it, i love having gingerbread to much to give it up :-) great work btw to you and the cm team!

[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
Periodically, ive noticed that it will not exchange apks via bluetooth transfer, but once i change it to a zip file it does. I think it only receives certain types of files.
[Captivate Android Development] bokaboka:
I just want to say CM7 is the best ROM I've tried so far... I've been using it for three weeks and it completely eliminated my sleep/charge death issues, I've had no force closes etc... seems as stable as anything.

One almost non-issue that I've noticed is that when I try to use the native SIP stack to make internet calls, the call fails unless I have "receive calls" enabled at the bottom of the call settings menu. It seems like the dialler isn't waiting the half second required for the phone to register on the SIP server before dialling. Turning "receive calls" on leaves me connected to the server and eliminates the problem though it apparently drains battery.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:

Yes it works fine from the phone. The latest nightlies allow it to work from a computer as well.

anyone else having battery changing issues.

By battery is good and calebrated properly, and if in a external changer will chagre to 100 and show as 100 in the phone but under cm7 I have not been able to charging in the device get it to chagre to 100.

any ideas

P.S. the device charges very slowley.

I tried doing a odin cause i wanted to go back to 2.2 roms. I selected repartition, auto-reboot and f. reset time.....it failed. Then i deseletec everything and tried with just repartion.

any ideas?

It wont show 100 it is normal.
[Captivate Android Development] johnyhoffman:
Do you have to use one of the modems from the Captivate CM7 SourceForge repository or can you use update.zipped modems as you would normally with other ROMS. I know which modems have the 850 band enabled and call quality issues for my phone. The question is only exactly what I am asking.

Beamed from the Bat Cave with the Bat Phone
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
answered you in q & a...... regular odin, you need the pit file to re-partition.... you could also just use 1 click...
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Strangely put but I think I get it.

You cannot use the zip from other modem threads you need to use the ones for CM7 but you can just replace the modem file inside with the one you want from any other zip then flash.
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
this

and just take a peek at my main thread (in my sig)

there you should have enough choice of modems :p

you still need to figure out which one uses 850 band though

is it just me or is there bit of lag when inputting numbers in the dialer?

Not just you. I've noticed lag once in awhile. Like I input numbers faster than they show up.. sometimes it F's me up because I think I'm not hitting numbers... but only notice this once in awhile, and its the only thing that I've noticed.

[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
Ok I have tried CM7 for like 4 times now...every time I try it....I love it until i start to get number of FCs...mainly google framework fc...email.process fc...and what not....after everything core.android.process fc

I actually get good battery life with CM7...but everytime after a day or two...i get these FCs...and I have to froyo rom...Is there any solution to this? I have already tried fixing permission by going into recovery....but still same...
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I have the opposite. Everything works in CM7 great. Never have got a FC ever when running CM7, but battery life sucks. It's literally 1/2 of what a good froyo ROM is.

It's a WIP and the battery life is not the devs concern (rightfully) at the moment so I live with it. If I know I won't be able to plug in for a while I flash a froyo ROM.

I do have a car charger and carry my USB charger with me everywhere so its generally not an issue.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
my battery was about the same as a froyo rom. CM is great and i have no idea why its not on my phone right now
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no logs? never happened.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I experienced the same thing for a while until I researched it and it was due to my /datadata being full or close to full.

After that, I keep it at 70% max and this phone never gives me a single android or google FC anymore. I was closed to flashing back Froyo but someone gave me the answer.

I added more details to the overclocking guide min sig if you want to check your phone.
