OH and BTW the GPS is great for me with CM7
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
And I highly suggest NOT deleting ADW. Aside from there being no point, I find it's good to have a backup Launcher on the phone. I've had weird situations before where my launcher was crashing, and we've seen LauncherPro have issues before that locked people out. it's good to have a backup already installed on the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Seeing as there is no CM7-Captivate-initial zip in the Sourceforge archive, am I correct in assuming the intent is that we use the Captivate-initial-kernel.tar and then just use the CM7-GalaxyS-initial zip to flash? My concern is that the main page says there should be a Captivate specific one:

Then again it says there should be one for the Vibrant and there isn't one there, either.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
some things are still being uploaded, moving from codeworkx's site to sourceforge, upload takes a time (over 920 MB)

edit: actually, ignore me, they're all up... for some reason it thinks the "initial zip" is latest version, it's available right here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/cm7-galaxys-initial-20110303.zip/download

[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
This means that it's done using SW acceleration as opposed to HW acceleration in Samsung ROMs, using 3rd party apps??

Or would it just not work at all?

The other question is, what local languages are supported on this ROM? Do they include RTL languages??

Thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
On the new instructions page, it nevers mentions what to do with the captivate modem zip. Am I missing something here?
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Did they post a new build or is the one that was posted in the OP the same as the one in the topic now?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no, there is hardware acceleration in third party apps for a lot of things (as long as they properly hook into EGL). the ROM supports a TON of languages though I can't personally test them all obviously. RTL = right to left? I see Hebrew as a listed language, but I couldn't tell you which way it's facing :/
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
method has changed slightly:

<codeworkx> modem is done by initial script

<codeworkx> the other modems are only for testing

the build is more or less the same, we just have codeworkx doing all the builds now to host directly on sourceforge and to have them all built at the same time.

Strange behavior today..

A few things:

That sudden drop in the middle of the day for me was strange.

Wi-fi stopped as well.

Also, the time on battery should have been closer to 12 hours.

Something went wrong at some point.

There was a point in the day when I checked my phone and had to pull my battery, there was no response, but the BLN was on.

I haven't had any problems w/ Cyanogen whatsoever, it's smooth as silk and exactly what I'm looking for.

Anyone have any idea about the wonkiness today? Is there an easy way to pull logs so I can get a better understanding of what could have happened?

And ..

On the lower chart, what do the grey and green colors signify in the Phone Signal bar?

Gracias -RJJ
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
wifi is a big battery killer right now, disable it if you want to (nearly) double your battery life. "cat /proc/last_kmsg" if you want to pull info from the last time the phone crashed... output it to a file, post to issue tracker.

not sure what the colors mean, I assume green means full signal, but beyond that I'm not sure.
[Captivate Android Development] n0stalgia:
Sorry if this is a n00b question, but I have searched.

Is there any way to determine what GSM/WCDMA band your phone is using with CM7? The phone pad codes don't work, and I would like to test out which modems work best with my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
You could just use speedtest app from the android market and check your download and upload speeds

I get average 3 Mbps down and 1.6 Mbps up with JK4

testing JL3 right now

Edit: JK4 is getting better speeds for me than JL3 is.......only getting around 2 Mbps with JL3 and about the same up speed

Edit 2: Nvm, did some more testing and they seem to be about the same for me
[Captivate Android Development] jaywelcome:
so i flashed everything correctly and even followed the mobile tech videos guide. everything seems stable until i uploaded gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip and gapps-mdpi-20110301-signed.zip. it was working fine for a bit. then after a reboot it would just get stuck on the cyanogenmod 7 (guy on skateboard) splash screen. it would finally cut to the homescreen but then it pauses and goes through that same splash screen again. after a little bit of loading it goes back to the homescreen for a second and once again goes back to the splash screen. i've tried to wipe everything, from the caches to factory reset but nothing seems to work. this is my 3rd time reflashing it back to stock and going through the whole process to get back to cm7. its stable but somewhere between the gapps and the nightly update 311 it goes wrong. wont even stop reloading the same splash screen. any ideas? should i upgrade to nightly 312? i never did cause people seemed to have trouble with that upgrade. or is it the gapps i downloaded from the link on the instruction page? all i really need and want is market and well gtalk so i can run market.

also is jk4 better for battery life? so far mine is doing fine on JL3 but i could be wrong...
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Why are you flashing mdpi-gapps?

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Flash only the gapps in Sourceforge. Do not flash any other gapps. Especially MDPI gapps, your screen is HDPI.

It's totally dependent on where you live. If jl3 is working good for you stick with it.

im using the honeycomb music player and whenever i flash the newest update, all of my playlists get deleted because it puts the old music player back on my phone (you have to delete it for the hc player to work). is there a way to prevent this?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Remove the music apk from the zip file prior to flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
flashed the newest update.......can't really tell much of a difference but from the changelog, mostly has to do with the wifi interval scan and things of that sort. So im guessing better battery life.

Testing out modems now..........so far JK3 has gotten me the best and most consistent speeds gonna keep testing and then post up all my results

Edit:

Modems seem pretty similar and sporatic.

Btw, JL2 modem doesn't exist or something......i keep flashing it but when i go into settings and check, it says JK4. Anyways, heres my results.

JK3 and JK4 definitely got me the best results. They both were giving me an average of around 3 Mbps down and 1.6 Mbps up. The "JL2" which reads as JK4 in settings even spiked up to 4 Mbps down at times and has given me the best results. Im just gonna say its JK4 though

KB1 was the worst, im guessing cause it doesn't have 850 band enabled or something. It gave me like 1 Mbps down and 300 kbps up

JL3 was average at 2 Mbps down and 1.6 Mbps up. Same up speeds but slower down speeds

Im sure its different for everyone though so i would say just try it out for yourself, its easy to flash and fairly quick. I haven't tested call quality but JK4 is what i've been using for quite a while and its been okay.

JK3/JK4 have been the best for me though

Watchdog = Crashy

Ah, that explains why I was unable to refill a prescription the other day. I couldn't enter all of the characters, the automated voice would cut in after only 4 characters, as if I'd typed more. I figured the system was messed up but it's obviously the phone.

I've been testing CM7 for a few days and it's been working great. Then yesterday it started FCing all the time. Today the phone was just about useless, Swype was crashing, Gapps, heck, I couldn't get into TitBackup without it crashing. I installed the nightly that was just released, rebooted, tried resetting permissions in recovery. No help.

Then I saw briefly on the screen "Watchdog disk io error" and remembered I'd installed that the other day, based on reading this forum. After uninstalling that, the phone now seems perfectly fine again. Obviously there is a severe conflict there with Watchdog or there is something wrong with that software all by itself. Yikes.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
God damn Atinm, you need to stop changing up the naming scheme for these updates. Seems every damn update has a new name or a new date setup. :p

Unable to see market app or sync google account

Does the market app come from the google apps.zip file you need to install? I downloaded this file and used rom manager to install it and it did nothing. How can i get the market app?

Also when i go to accounts and sync to add an account I can only sync exchange accounts. Is there a way to add my google account?

I have the latest Nightly build installed of CM7. Please help... I have no contacts or any apps on my phone :(

Don't use rom manager to install anything, ever on CM. It doesn't work. Boot into recovery, and flash from there.

how is the camera? It seems like everything that made me flash back to serendipity is fixed now, but I haven't seen anything about the camera...any comments?

[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Thanks for the updates guys and thanks again for bringing us Gingerbread. Atinm, still rockin your rom on the wife's Aria.
[Captivate Android Development] itsallwright:
It seems that all of the updates since the 10th do not honor the wifi sleep policy setting (I prefer to have wifi go off when the screen is off). The first update that fixed the reboot issue with the sleep policy (20110309) seemed to work best in that regard.

I am basing my information on the battery usage graph. With the March 9th update, the blue line for "Wi-Fi" would correspond to the blue line for "Screen On". All updates since just have a solid line for "Wi-Fi" (indicating Wi-Fi never goes to sleep when the screen is off).

Is this a known issue? If not, can anyone else confirm it is not just me (I do not see a bug listed on the bug tracking page)?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
If it isn't in the change log (available on the cm forum post), assume it is in the same state as before
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Wifi sleep was actually decreased starting with the 10 update, double check to make sure you have the wifi sleep policy to sleep on screen off. It may have been reset when you installed the update as it modified your settings.db
[Captivate Android Development] itsallwright:
I did verify the setting was still properly set. I also set the sleep policy to "Never" and back to "When screen turns off" to reset it in case of some weird glitch. It still does not appear to sleep.

Are you saying that you wifi goes off with the screen when set to do so?

Thanks

It seems that you can't use odin to flash back to stock, I am assuming that you need Nexus S drivers. I soft bricked and trying to flash back to stock but ODIN just stalls at " don''t turn off target" any help please.

Yes. I raised a bug report. Only fixes when you flip to landscape then back to portrait right?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Nope, I never installed any Nexus S drivers and used Odin One Click to flash to stock. You're in download mode right? Well try a different cable, different USB port, reboot your computer, etc. It should work, worked for me many times.

It's taken me numerous flashes trying to get the data to work before I realized not to install the gapps so I'm not stuck on a welcome screen and I can turn airplane on and off... and it worked... i now have a blazing fast data connection, but why do I have to do the airplane mode on every reboot or else it takes forever to get signal and will never get data? It's done it on initial, 0310, 0311, and 0313 going from both darky's and another rom...

The updates don't flash a new modem, so I wouldn't really expect it to change. Try flashing a different modem.
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
Just turn the screen off and back on again and you get your data right away. It's listed as a known issue already.

[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
One word: Amazing!!! Cyanogen team and you guys give techies a lot of joy.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I agree with your way. That's how I do it on my PC so things sort chronologically.
[Captivate Android Development] joshua43214:
click alt > view > sort > more

scroll down amd select "date modified"

click alt > view > sort > date modified

alt > View > sort > ascending (xp style)

now your folder will sort automatically so the last item modified or added goes to the bottom.

Click alt > tools > folder options > view tab > apply to folders

now it will apply this style to all folders of this type

This is really hady when you either download a lot of stuff and its not clear what order it came in, or you do alot of editing and you cant remember what the last thing you edited was.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yeah, I know how to set my folder sort options in the Windows GUI. Suffice it to say that sometimes files I'm working on may be grouped based on given date but may not share the same time stamp, so I keep them in folders with names based on a date.

Wifi Sleep when screen turns off

Have wifi set to sleep when screen turns off and it was definitely working after the update with the fix was released. After the 3/13 update it looks like it is not turning off. Normally after being idle with the screen off for a while you can turn it on and it takes a few seconds for the wifi icon to come on and the H symbol to go away.

Anyone notice the same thing?

Edit: It is working. I guess I didn't let it sit long enough to turn off. Voted #1 dumba** post of the day.

Hi there! For me it works. I actually have no problem with cm7 except the fact that 3D performance is half than Samsung roms. But I don't play much so... anyway, great job guys! The battery is a bit poor but this might not be a rom issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yes it is. There's nothing not working on this rom except the reboot recovery and download. You need to do those with buttons combo.

You like big movies with bad quality? :) everybody knows that there's no difference between 480 and 720p when it comes to picture quality. Maybe just the sound is a bit better. However, the cam works great, the only issue which I noticed is that there is no support for wide resolution pictures and movies. I tried camera 360 and it wouldn't change resolution either.

CM7 Nightlies

So far, this is going fantastically. Besides for my own stupid mistakes, I have not had ONE crash, force close, etc. Also, I've been getting a battery life of about 18 hours with no changes at all. Thank you to everyone developing this! I can't wait until it's declared stable and working 100%!

Flashing nightly builds?

I have the Cyanogen Mod updater from the market and it doesnt find anything. Im guessing I have to manually do the nightly builds?

If so, do I have to start with the first one and go through them until I am up to the current one?

So, I just looked over and saw the AT&T splash screen on my device.. it rebooted itself randomly I guess.

I flashed from froyo to update 3/11 (doing all the initial steps first of course) and gps was working but today after adding apps and customizing gpps is not working. The gps symbol on the status bar does not even appear which is weird and means gps is not working. Anyone know a solution or should I just initial-nightly 3/13 to fix it?
