"My phone was on and the screen tried to go into Sleep Mode and as the Display dimmed but before it went to all Black the phone locked and I had to pull Battery and reboot. I don't know if this known problem just thought I would past it on."

Here is what happened. Have you noticed that the Display screen dims and then turns off when the phone isn't in use. Today the phone dimmed but before it completely Blacked Out the the Phone Froze. I could still faintly see the Image I has set as my Wallpaper but I couldn't "wake phone up". So I pulled the Battery and re started the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Hmm yeah. I'll have to look for the files again, I did at work and left my usb key there. :mad:

Rebooting seems to solve the issue, and it's definitely a sensor issue, as I tried playing a-tilt and the it was turning all the way to the right (or is left :D). I would use the testing tools, but I'm not able to access any of them. I get a "connection problem or invalid MMI code" after "dialing" the number.
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
Well, you may just get me to pick up my Cappy again and not sell it. I've been using my N1 for the last month and am going to install this on my Cappy as soon as I get home... ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
this damn 2g 3g toggle thing isnt working anymore....had H / 3g running all day...

i did a reboot and now this....ughhhh
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
This is listed as known issue
[Captivate Android Development] jthorne88:
yes yes yes

I had been waiting for CM6 on captivate that I trusted. AFter seeing XDA post on CM7.. I immediately tried it.. Got it on successfully first round.

LOVING IT.

No bugs for me to report either.

Other than I haven't had a chance to test GPS because I work in a basement. Will report later.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
However, if you turn off data, then use it, it works. It only doesn't work when you have an active data connection.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
So is this safe to flash onto your phone? The cyanogenmod forum says it is too buggy to flash but people here seem to be doing it without too many problems.
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
yeah i know this... ohh it just magically apeared on edge after like 10 mins.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I've been running it since late January. It's definitely safe if you know what you are doing and follow instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
Worked great for me... Except the reboots every once in a while.

All in all though, I really thank the devs for this. I can't wait to see it a little more fully baked! For the moment, I'm going back to JS5, but this is something I'm watching very closely!

Cheers to the devs!!
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Then why is there a big warning on the cyanogenmod forum that this is too buggy to flash?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
There are bugs. That being said I don't think I am going back after using this.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Just wanted to report a few things after running this for a bit. They may already be mentioned.

I tried navigation and when I exited the app the orientation of the screen was messed up. I had one reboot so far. Whenever I restart the phone I have to lock and unlock the phone to get service (JK4 Modem) and it only says 3G most of the time even though I get H here.

Besides taht this is freakin awesome!! Great work to you all and can't wait for future releases.

EDIT: H shows up sometimes but not always and another reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
seeing the same thing with 3g as well. Haven't been on h yet.

how do you get to lbstestmode with 2.3.3?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
lbstestmode isn't in CM. It's a samsung only app.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Why is this better than the other captivate roms out there?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Escapist

You have running this for a while. What is your impression on battery performance
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Better is an opinion. I would say unique. There are features and functions that exist on cm I have not had an any other rom
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Cause there were problems earlier. Read the OP. If you dont wanna flash, dont. It works just fine tho, with the bugs that are mentioned in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
is there a way to tweak the gps settings then??
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
this information doesn't help us at all, either provide a logcat or last_kmsg or we're just going to act like it never happened.

Everytime I pass by this thread,when I see the most current post someone is slamming somebody for something, (even people who don't speak english as their native language), I think someone who can get on here and try to communicate in a language other than their own shouldn't be slammed, it's probably not easy to do. Then when somebody who's not real experienced with rom flashing, or CM7 asks a question, they get slammed, as if this rom is only for the chosen few. Not saying everybody acts this way, just some.Try to remember what it was like when you were new to the flashing world. J.M.H.O.

[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Short Answer: DO IT! I went from Perception 10.4 to CM7 and even with some minor glitches, I don't regret it. Runs better, and I even get amazing signal and speed, with decent battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
to be quite honest, this ROM actually is "for the chosen few." it's alpha/beta quality, it isn't mainline with CM7 (which means there's still plenty of growing pains to come). we don't want inexperienced people flashing and installing willy nilly... if you don't know how to use adb or get logs to be reviewed to fix bugs, then it doesn't really matter. this ROM has massive disclaimers and warnings, it's not for the faint-of-heart and isn't ready for "primetime" yet, it's just available out of the generosity of the dev's... they can decide to just stop releasing builds if they want and leave it to you to make it.

this ROM isn't for everyone, there are even instructions in the FAQ on how to go back from it if you don't want to use it anymore (what other ROM can you say has instructions on how to stop using it?). as for mocking language, we expect to deal with English speakers as it's very hard to understand nuances in the language if they have very broken English (and it's hard to get what they mean if they're using broken English). and if we can't understand them, we can't help them.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
That is why it was a bad idea to make a "flashing for dummies" video to make it even easier for unqualified people to flash this when it isn't ready for everyone yet.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I wasn't slamming him at all. I was trying to help him I just couldn't decipher what exactly he wanted.

I infact tried my best to assist him in his troubles. What you're doing is just causing drama that isn't needed here. You're post wasn't meant to be a "slam"?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the video wasn't made by the team, it's simply there as a supplement, made by connexion2005. I could ask atinm to remove it and I'm sure he'd be fine with doing so in a second, but it's meant for the people who tend to be visual learners (but only as an addition to the text instructions) as it has same gaping flaws in the video.

1) doesn't tell users to copy files over BEFORE flashing new kernel

2) keeps referring to the "cyanogenmod team" even though the team is the "CMSGS Team"

3) advises going back to stock even though the instructions never say this is necessary (or even a good idea)

I could go on, but it's not there for us, it's there for the people who just need something to watch along with to understand.
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
ok thanks!!! got it!!
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Rock player will play most of the videos including .mkv, but still it'll be not smooth. Other than that, I think you can play the recorded video using the default video player that comes with the rom without any issue or may be even .mp4 (not sure though??):o

Also, there's an QA thread in the QA section dedicated to this ROM. So head there and you might find lots of answers to your question.
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
IMHO, the video was informative and to the point. But yes, it's not quite detailed for someone who has not flashed rom regularly. Most of the users are used to of flashing rom from just one CWM flash-able zip. But for this, they have to do several times and that's quite new for lots of people.

People need to watch it carefully not once but several times to get an idea what he's doing. Even pausing and is not a bad idea. When I was ready to flash, I watched the video again, and at the same time did flashing going through the steps in the video.

Regarding what files to copy, I paused the video, when the guy was in CWM's 'install from zip' part and copied all the Cyanogenmod CM7 files that I saw in his video once on the stock jf6 (Eclair), even though other than the initial rom (one with 140+ MB), none of the files were required to be on the sdcard root.

NOTE: once you are on stock jf6 (Eclair), you don't need root or rom manager. Use the speedmod kernel that is flash-able with ODIN and not CWM. :)
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
Speed Dial

How do I add speed dial? If there is a option.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
LOL I check in here every once in a while to see if any good is coming out of this ROM and find the arrogance amazing. It's just another early stage ROM. With plenty of issues. Not for the faint of heart

i believe this has been touched based.....but how can i fix the market force close?

of is this not yet fixed? thanks :)

"sorry, I want to test but am not a dev"

EDIT: searched and found a potential solution...
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "flashed roms regularly" but I have only flashed one rom before this (Perception 10.4), but performed some flashing tweaks and update to that rom. That being my flashing background, I haven't yet gotten the impression that this ROM is actually complicated to install. The steps are pretty straightforward and the video was extra helpful. The only time I had to look something up was when I had to find out what a NAND Backup was. Aside from minor glitches, it's one of the best ROMs I've ever had.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
What version of gapps did u install?
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
When I said 'flashed rom regularly' I meant for addict like us flash custom Tom's on regular basis. That was onlyfor informational purpose.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
since this is based off i9000...correct me if I'm wrong.

Does this mean the KB1 modem wont ever get fixed?

Horrid service with any other modems.

KB1 full reception H constant. Safe to say it works really well with my captivate.

loved cm7 but was forced to reflash cog.

reception > gingerbread. imo
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
There are certain phones that i9000 modems wont work on, that's really why the KB1 modem is there. From my experience, the i9000 roms have been tons better than KB1 (jk4 being my personal favorite).
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
my deepest thanks for the reply.

i installed the universal found here

.....i happen install some gapps, but i still cant see the market in the apps list.....i also verified that the Vending.apk is in the zip.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Pretty sure it was said that u shouldn't use that one. Go to the instruction page with all of the downloads mentioned in the OP then go to the download section under each specific device (captivate, i9000, i9000b, and vibrant) and mirrors for gapps will be there to download. Also when selecting what Google apps to install initially, the market will not be there (its done automatically) and any app u chose not to install can still be found in the market.

Hope this helped

EDIT: heres the download for the gapps i use
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Sorry meant to edit not quote. See above post
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I suspected that is what you meant. I have fortunately managed to keep myself from getting THAT bad...YET
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Jk4 is probably the best in my area. The NW.

I think KB1 will suffice tho
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Why do so many people think that this rom is i9000 based
[Captivate Android Development] carbon12:
I find the number of crybabies and people who can't read in this thread astounding. The video is what I followed, and I had no problems... there are three whole steps, maybe four, to load CM7... it's not exactly rocket science. I had only ever flashed Cognition on my phone before this. I took the warning to follow the directions exactly seriously. I had absolutely no problems.

I always find it humorous on this forum, and others where volunteers bust their asses for nothing other than a hope for a donation (like anime sub'ers for example), and then end users act as though they have some right to make demands of the developers as if bugs or mistakes are introduced with some malicious intent...

Report bugs that you find, help make the project better, or shut up. It really is that simple. I have experienced relatively few bugs, actually. I have no problems with WiFi or cellular signal with the included modem and I am loving Gingerbread, and thanks to the developers.

And this ROM is based on Nexus S... not i9000. READ.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
+1

maybe people are getting confused cause most of the modems are i9000 based, although the rom is open source
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Same here, I went from Stock to Perception to CM7 and it wasn't that hard. Once you get past the initial stage, it is pretty much just like updating was with Perception.
[Captivate Android Development] carbon12:
I was kind of suprised when I got an email from Google thanking me for purchasing a Nexus S phone after I flashed CM7... :D I figured it would be hard to register the Captivate to access the uber elite special content though... ;)
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
I must have one of the few that run less than normal on i9000 modems.

Exceptionally well on KB1...

cm7 was fun while it lasted...

enable HSUPA and Voice processing and then itll be the only rom representing
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
once again....my deepest thanks......with your advise reading the whole thing again, plus the file you provided.....everything was successful.......
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
What is this uber special content of which you speak?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
umn dude hsupa came with it for me? (installed initial and flashed newest nightly over it)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
HSUPA works for me but of course I am using a i9000 modem.

Video processing...if you mean hardware yeah it would be nice but based on what I have read, is not happening.

What I would like to get is a way to tweak the gamma level which makes dark scene to bright affecting the image quality.

I tried the Voodoo control app but it does not affect the actual video playback unfortunately.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Thanks, and at least one of us developers (me!) does it purely for the fun of it and the hope that people would sign up as organ donors as a way to thank me. You'd have a different person working on CM7 for Captivate if an anonymous person hadn't been an organ donor before he got promoted to guardian angel-ship and saved my life when I was less than 72 hours from not being here either.
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
If this is a known issue, then ignore it delete it. Here it goes.

I was listening music using power amp, and then I received a call, mic button wont work, so I just pulled out the headphone and try to get on the call. By the time I can answer, it for disconnected. Now, even thigh the headphone is unplugged, I still see the headphone icon on top of the notification bar, also the voodoo app and power amp icons as well. I opened and closed the voodoo app and power amp, still the headphone icon showing up. Our the headphone back in and out to check if this fixes the issue or not. Well it didn't. If I play the song without headphone plugged in, the phone thinks the headphone is still plugged in. Finally I had to reboot to solve the issue.

I did save the log prior to reboot.

I'll attach it once I'm out of office.
[Captivate Android Development] carbon12:
Same here... worked out of the box, as it were. For reference, my Captivate is a 1011 build... not 1009 or 1010.

I was wrong, I just reread the email and it was just premium support from Samsung... LOL
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I am having problem with my gmail app sync...I have changed the settings to sync all...but still I am not receiving any email, untill i manually refresh it...

Please advice?

(its not in bugs list, so not a known bug)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Same thing happens to me. It worked yesterday for a bit then stopped again. I just decided to refresh it from time to time for the time being.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
@shaolin95

Been working for me

Do you have background data off? Sync disabled? Settings in gmail correct?

I know you likely checked but worth a shot
[Captivate Android Development] carbon12:
I just sent myself a test email and it worked just like it was supposed to... I would check data settings as mentioned above...
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I have it all checked...not sure if it happened when I added a second email so I am going to delete both and add just one.

UPDATE: After adding it again it is working...cool!

ya, on the cyanogen page at the bottom of the page under downloads it will have a google apps download. that will give you your market back.....

but for future reference please read the entire OP and the entire CM page instructions..they are very clear and simple. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
Gonna get around to trying CM7 again. Purdy excited! One question before I do it to it in the who's it though. What kernel provides the best bang-per-cell(battery life:p)? I don't really care about all of the extra stuff like voodoo color or sound, but if said kernel happens to include them, who am I to complain?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
i looked but i didnt find an answer

is there any way to get a working swype keyboard with this?

(or any other keyboards then the one it came with?)
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
It recommended you just stay with Kernel included with ROM for now. It will be interesting though to see what some guys say that have tried different Kernels with CM7
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Google swype beta and sign up
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I use the Kang Kernel and i havent have issues yet.
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
why do i feel that my cappy's uptime with this rom is about 6-8 hours but the battery status is saying 4 hours since unplugged???

if that is true....then i am so much having fun with it that i cant put my hands off! :)

EDIT: im so dumb....i rebooted my phone once.....that's why....
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
i flashed Dirty D's kernel to this ROM.....working fine.....no issues....so far.

just remember that if you flash a different kernel, CM team is not to be contacted for issues......we should consult with the kernel dev.... :)
[Captivate Android Development] hamburgertrain:
If I'm experiencing lag, and flashing the nightly again doesn't help me, is there anything else I can do? Re flashing the initial? Master clear?
[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
Not really asking for support, just opinions and information! I know that this is a beta and unofficial kernels aren't supported, comparing how much juice the unofficial kernels use doesn't really fall under the category of requesting support though.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
He actually said Voice processing. Not sure exactly what you mean by that. If you mean Voice Command input processing,then it is about the same as every other modem I have tried. The only reason you might not be getting HSPA+ is because it was not enabled on your phone prior to flashing CM7. I had to make sure to go back and re-enable it before I flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Been meaning to ask this, but has anyone else noticed that the phone will automatically power on when you plug it in? It seems to be happening every time I try and charge my phone powered-down, so I thought I would ask.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Dont want to be rude but there is a QA thread for this particular ROM and that question has been answered about 1 trillion times. Yes it is normal, for me is an unfortunate thing but not a deal breaker.

Regards
[Captivate Android Development] capita:
I've been using Escapist's kernel with good results. Voodoo color and sound which I prefer, but the OC/UV capabilities are what initially got my interest as well. Its been really stable for me at 1.3GHZ and UV'd all round.
[Captivate Android Development] pingablemark:
Thank you, I did not to be mean to be ignorant, I will read over again and make sure I got this, thanks for your help guys, however I think I have tried this, but will try again, I probably missed something.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Not rude at all. I will have to get around to adding that to my subscription list so I can keep an eye on it. Now if I could only be certain as to how to disable/enable mobile data w/o throwing things off that would probably compensate. I'm on the move a lot at I can't charge my phone at work, so my portable charger gives me more bang if I can charge offline or something like that.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Totally understand..hopefully this will be done in the future but as for your mobile data question, I am not sure on that one sorry, so I would let someone else with the right answer.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
you can uncheck data by going to settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks, uncheck data enabled...

you phone will not use mobile data unless you check it again...

I hope thats what you wanted lol
