[Captivate Android Development] techniq35:
When you copy the files to your sd card, does anyone put them in a subdirectory (this is what I always do), or must they be at the root of the sd?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
We accidentally overwrote the light sensor to go back to using samsung closed source one. I'll upload a new update soon that will fix it to use our open source one again that works.
[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
Thank you for your continued hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I usually download them on the phone, so they're two directories deep. Never had a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyhans:
Super cool rom/kernal... This has fixed so many issues ive had..most importantly random shutdowns... The battery is great, especially with the latest nightly and so many other things make me love my phone again.

The only thing I miss from other roms is the camera... I miss 4 things from that.

1) being able to save directly to the secondary sdcard

2) being able to use the power button to take the pic

3) focus by pressing a location on the screen

4) the speed of the app opening

I have a feeling that it is more complicated than just taking the camera.apk from another rom.. So does any one have any other ideas?

I don't miss it enough to change of this rom because everything else is great, but would love to have a chance to try something.

I am amazed every day with the effort and quality this community has.

We are a lucky group!

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
If you hit the menu button in the camera app you can set the volume or search button to take pictures. I like the search better yhen the power button because it keeps my fat fingers out of the way if the lenses.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyhans:
Good call on the search button...ive looked at that screen before but forgot that setting.

Now if I can only find something for the focus and saving to external sd I would cry tears of joy!

Uploaded 20110506-lightsensor update.

Changelog:

- fixes light sensor
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
this will also replace any custom kernel right?
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Yes it will.
[Captivate Android Development] slifer315:
yes

[Captivate Android Development] dahrat:
thos rom is wicked i love it so much no problems yet except the battery but just turning off wifi and baclground apps and using when wanting to it lasts all day.

next paycheck man. gotta donate lol
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
I just put the files on the root of my sd card and booted into recovery (straight from paragon rc6 2.2.1), installed the kernel (without renaming it), then rebooted from recovery (i had to do this twice). It then automagically installed cm7 from the initial zip.

I'm sure renaming it to update.zip would be fine too, but it doesn't seem to be necessary. The instructions on the cyanogen forum worked perfectly. (much more inviting than all the stuff with odin :) )

This is my first dive into cm7 and so far I'm loving it!
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
I flashed over a custom rom (Paragon) with no problems, you should be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
The Li battery type has hardware protection that doesn't let it charge to 100% - Samsung's firmware actually lies about the charge. CM7 doesn't - it is showing you exactly what your battery is allowed to charge up to. We're not going to hack the code to lie like Samsung's does.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
It is actually using the same build signature as the Nexus S (we dont' have any other for Gingerbread), so it identifies itself as a Nexus S.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Yes, as much as we can.
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
i'm sort of confused by this....i flashed stock (haven't done so in awhile, figured it was a good time to start fresh), then flashed FireFly (simply because it was recommended), but is the filesystem automatically converted to ext4?? Or will a lagfix need to be configured to do so? I don't think firefly has the lagfix enabled by default
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
I saw a few people saying that their XDA app never loads...I had the same problem that when I loaded the app it just stayed on the brown splash screen with the loading animation...for like a minute or more sometimes. You can get around that by hitting the search button while you are at the splash screen. This will get you into the app and bring up the search, from there you can hit the back button and get to the standard screen to get to forums, favorites, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Hey atinm, official cm7 forum thread says update 3/4/2011 and this one says 3/3/2011? Whats difference?

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/
[Captivate Android Development] bfgarzilla9k:
The kernel included in the Firefly rom is Speedmod. Speedmod has ext4 lagfix by default;)
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
Doesn't look like much different, if anything:

CHANGELOG

20110304

- nothing new but fresh builds for all four devices!
- moved hosting to sourceforge for all devices
- changed build id to GRI40
- changed product model to GT-I9000, SGH-T959 and so on...
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
If you dig deeper, the links on the cyanogenmod forum haven't been updated yet - we're trying to have one place that the files can be uploaded to for all the SGS phones. Once we have our build process complete, then I will change the links here to point to the same location. As of now, this is the last Captivate build I did and I haven't completed building yet.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Its a know issue/feature that it will only charge to 94-95 percent. Still works though.

Words with Friends works fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] amarpatel:
has anyone had problems with TBU? I can't restore my apps...kinda sucks lol
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
So when updates are available for Nexus S Gingerbread will they be automatically apply to captivate through CM7 as well? Or will developers have to modify the update for captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
Mine restored fine, but it didn't restore a lot of the data associated with my apps. I assumed that was due to the change in OS.

Since antinm is perusing the threads, is there anything I can do about ad blocking?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
We will have to modify just like we have to right now. We do not have source code for Captivate, only Nexus S. So we used Nexus S source code as our baseline and did modifications to it so that it could support our hardware instead (hardware is not identical across phones).
[Captivate Android Development] wibs:
I had this problem on Serendipity. It is due to ad-blocking being built in. If you go to /system/etc/ and remove the "hosts" file it fixes it. I just moved it to the SD to be safe
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
oh crap you're right! hahahaI guess I didn't look around too much!

Ok, I want to say that I do not like TW anymore ;)
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
Is there an FPS cap or something with this build? While Nenamark shows 46.6fps, Quadrant caps the FPS at either 19fps or 28fps. Just wondering. This is excellent work - very nice indeed.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
Yes, I tested yesterday. Does not include a sip account but if you've got one, it works over both wifi and 3g.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
I assume we can also install any CM7 themes such as the ones listed here with our version of CM7? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977374

Sorry for the noob questions.
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
the way he is talking about is from 2e (stock recovery)
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
Oops...sorry. I just saw the "2" and thought "cwm 2.x". Nuts, I thought I was actually going to be helpful :(.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
A thanks is good enough :) - and if you aren't signed up as an organ donor, you can thank me by signing up. Oh, and opt-in to the anonymous statistics so we can see how many ppl are actually using this.
[Captivate Android Development] lpfansether:
For me it's tap to focus and the Samsung panorama. I've tried others apps but none compare to the way the stock camera app handles panoramas. The part I don't like about the stock panoramas is that they are lower quality than the camera is capable of. I guess that is the unfortunate trade off of being able to do sweeping shots.
[Captivate Android Development] lpfansether:
Already an organ donor and opted in. If there is anything else we can do please let us know. This truly is the best rom out there and your work is greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
On the latest nightly 5/06 and using JK4 and runs awesome.

Camera shows as solid black, but still works. You just aren't able to preview a picture before you take it.

Also the RIL polling issue is gone. I get a signal immediately every boot without having to lock/unlock screen.

Thumbs up, Team Hacksung! Another amazing release. Yay for CM7 on Captivate!
[Captivate Android Development] brendanmurphy:
Am i ever impressed. Since the last time i tryed CyanogenMod has it ever improved. I flashed this because the latest Miui broke my speaker and was just crap IMO performance wise and had major battery drain. But WOW is this great, super smooth, battery drain is non existent. My only gripe is i want separate wallpaper for lockscreen :p
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Camera works perfect for me (I am able to see a preview b4taking a pic).
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I'm just curious, but does anyone know if the clockwork mod backups overwrite or do they just create new ones? The reason I'm asking is because I have been gradually running out of room on my phone and since the last nightly I can no longer perform backups because I no longer have enough room.

This has never happened to me before trying out CM7. I've deleted as many files as I can and removed as many apps as I can, but I keep running out of room.
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
Everytime you make a back-up a new one is created, they do not overwrite.

Go to your sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and you will see all of them.. Delete the ones you don't need as they take up a ton of space obviously.
[Captivate Android Development] :
MMS still a problem for me. Bad flash or something on my part or are others still having problems? Saw one person mention it, along with other texting issues. Mine is confined just to receiving MMS, though.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thank god, I was beginning to worry about that. Now I just need to figure out how to fix SwiftKey. It's been broken since maybe 3 - 5 nightlies back. Anybody else using Swiftkey?
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
I'd say just reinstall, my SwiftKey betas are working perfectly fine.
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
Same suggestion - my Swiftkey beta works fine. Version 2.0.0.25.

Also to person with the camera issue, mine works perfectly on latest nightly... try reinstalling... preview is just fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
Yea I am still having it. I can send them, and I can receive from my wife's cm7 phone but nobody else so far. I provided a logcat back a couple pages. If there is any more I can provide, let me know.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Please make sure your settings are correct, they may have got overwritten - I think I put a link in the FAQ to this. I am able to send/receive mms.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Try screen off/on before using Camera . . . it's weird but either that or my going into Applications under Settings and deleting the Camera data seemed to fix it for me. Camera is one of those parts we have very little control over due to it being closed source, so at the moment your guess is as good as mine. And don't try FFC of course - you will definitely have to go clear data if you do ;)
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
So if that is all good, and we still can't receive MMS, is there anything else we can check?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
A logcat wouldn't hurt, but I don't know how much we can help as this is not code we have anything to do with. The MMS stuff is not supposed to get written to and should just be something that the network provides.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Update: camera preview works, but is just much darker than actual pictures taken. Odd.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
Mine is valid still. Showing 07913121139418f0 for att. I did put up a logcat a few pages ago.
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
So to confirm, I'd start a logcat and attempt to downoad an mms? Provide you with that output?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
adb logcat > log.txt

attempt to download mms

ctrl+c (will close the logging)

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

place both as attachments here http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...=ID Type Status Priority Device Owner Summary

edit: gonna copy/paste this from my post in Q&A
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
Alrighty! As per Kaik's instructions, I attached a logcat and a dmesg to Issue 153. Hope it helps!!
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Feels like the good old days with rom when doing a flash almost every day. Just happy you are finding fixes so fast. I am noticing my network performance is improving with this last one though. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
we recently switched to samsung modemctl instead of nexus s, should make network a bit better and possibly even load on boot more often without needing lock/unlock. should also fix the MMS sending/receiving if your SMSC is still correct.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
So that explains why I have started seeing H instead of 3G on the Rogers network!
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
Interesting snippet from the logcat:

Also interesting to note, when clicking the "download" button where the MMS should be, it's very clearly downloading it. You see both up/down icons light up, and when they finish, it fails.
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
Seeing the exact same thing :) And also nice to be seeing the H again :)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Would like you to run a test build so I can get more details logs from you. It seems that the MMS that the network is sending is corrupt because the length isn't correct. But I need to see logs to see what this value is. PM me so we can try to debug this.
[Captivate Android Development] madkapitolist:
Whenever I get a notification ie: mail, text etc, the bottom row of buttons on the phone remain lit up. Is this intended? Is it a battery issue? Can it be turned off?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it's the LED notification listed in the changelog. they don't really affect battery life as they use very little energy and only when get a notification. besides, it's been paired with the LED's not being on all the time when the screen is on (they turn off until you touch them). they can be disabled under "CM settings" -> "Interface" -> "LED Notifications" and choose the apps you want to disable it on by setting the color to something dark or to none
[Captivate Android Development] :
Just discovered that my IMEI has been changed by the latest version. Flashed to stock, used the new technique to flash CM. I'm having the MMS problem, too. I'm not an expert by any means... but just thought they could be related.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
So I just noticed this today...when I'm not on wifi and I try to do something that requires data, my signal will drop from HSPA to EDGE, even with full bars of HSPA. I'm pretty sure this isn't the network because it's happened in multiple spots. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] madamimadam:
every day i love CM7 a little more. Thank you for all your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I have tried that. Also, I'm not using the Swiftkey 2 Beta, I'm using the main version. I just tried to get onto the beta, but the code they sent me in the email does not work on the registration form. I may try and remove or fix it via TiBu.

Also, that advice I got on the backups was beyond helpful. I went from 59MBs (after downloading the latest nightly) to 7.87GBs.
[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
future support with GB bootloaders?

Hi CM7 Devs!

Is future support with Samsung GB bootloaders in the plan? I want to try out CM7/MIUI but sorta want to avoid the risk of flashing bootloaders again.

If GB bootloaders is indeed a plan for the future, then i'll just patiently wait
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
It's already been stated that it is not a good idea to flash bootloaders and the CM7 developers will never have us do that. Just stupid if you ask me to flash a different phones bootloaders to our device.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
When we have bootloaders for our models, yes. Not before.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no. get off crappy bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
i dont know what the big deal is, i have tried some of the roms using the actual i9000 bootloaders, and really i think they all suck. it is too much like the stock cappy rom, ie...horrible feastures and poor performance, so i say stick with what works.....
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
I'm going back to CM7.

The complete mess that is JVB is just god-awful. Samsung's 2.2.1 roms were smoother and more stable.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
And look, the camera is better, just in time. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Haha. You still remember me complaining about that? Hehe. :p
[Captivate Android Development] simarr:
So what is up with the new radios? Saw it a few minutes ago. Didn't want to say anything was hoping somebody else would bring it up. :) Just wondering.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Ok this is weird...I've been parked on the 4/21 nightly and just tried the 5/6 nightly with light sensor update and upon booting (and rebooting) I'm getting a constant "process.com.android.phone" has stopped unexpectedly and it just repeats. Also, when I try to dial a number there's an error saying the phone can't access the mobile network.

Should I have flashed the 5/6 nightly before flashing the 5/6 w/sensor fix?

I went back to 4/21 (and am on the JL3 modem) and don't get any more crashes.

Any ideas guys?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
No, you just need to do the clean up stuff like clean cache etc that we always ask you to do.
[Captivate Android Development] z28james:
atinm, thanks for this. I used to love cyanogenmod on my G1 and its awesome on the captivate. I just did a "change my address" (changed Dr to Drive) on my license so that I could mark myself down as an organ donor.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
I wiped dalvik and formatted the cache partition. Also once booted I went through any apps with the phone icon, force stopped and cleared data. Rebooted and got the same crashes. Am I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
i am having issues with regular text messages. i send a message to someone who has my number stored as a 10 digit number in there phone but when they try to reply to my message it tries to send a message using no area code. also i am getting really bad battery life, and it only seems to go down in 5% increments. btw i am on 5/6 no light sensor fix yet, with the escapist latest kernel w/1.2 OC/UV

p.s. where would i even go to check sms settings?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
blame the escapist's kernel then, I've been getting great battery life (more than a day of moderate-heavy usage). if you don't use stock, don't really expect much support.

as for your mms issue, it sounds like a problem with your friend's phone, what do you expect us to do?
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
i just flashed the 5/06 nightly with light sensor fix....so we will see about the battery, since it went back to the stock kernel. also the phone i am talking with is a cappy running paragon 6 and never had issues till yesterday....gonna try going to jk4 modem agian to see if that helps
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
How come the text is so small in the volume adjustment window? It's like 1px.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
The modems thread stickied on the forums has them all listed except for JVO, which looks like the newest GB modem. Personally, I only run "Aries" series modems just because of the data speed, reliability and the like, so I'm not going to be flashing any of these.
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Nope. That's unique though.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Hmm. I will flash the update again. :p
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
oh god I actually busted up laughing at this, but yeah I'm seeing this in the official build. must have been a glitch upstream as I'm now on a later build and it's fine. I would never have noticed that if you hadn't pointed it out. rest assured it should be fixed in future updates.

dear god that was funny.
[Captivate Android Development] aquastubacca:
I am seeing it here, thanks. wow.
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
I hope it fixes it. I'm very much enjoying thus ROM. I have to Captivates running it, including a 1007 build and this brand spanking new one, that has a perfect GPS, with nothing other than known issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
It doesn't. I've done it before.

Just wait for the next nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Damn it. I just actually looked at mine rather than running off of memory, and it's the same.

I am so ashamed. :(
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Anybody else with this issue on the 5/6 build? It's driving me nuts...I've wiped the caches a couple times - still no progress.

The lockscreen will show the AT&T carrier name, but as soon as it's unlocked the program/process crashes.

What other processes/apps depend on com.android.phone to work? Note that reverting back to the 4/21 nightly works with no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] shawn.ferris:
Last time I had this happen, a reset to factory fixed it.

To the devs: latest nightly is incredible. Battery life seems as good as I've had in the past. I've been on it all day and still have 40-ish% left.

And.. I thought the volume dialog looked funny, but couldn't put my finger on it. Good eye on the near invisibly text 8D

Also got my build system going and been spending the last few days trying to familiarize myself with the build system.. That's going to take a bit longer.
[Captivate Android Development] mshenoy4573:
Hardware button stays on after notificaiton

Well firstly kudos to the team for building and providing us with the ROM

I almost update on every nightly build :P at least I try not to miss any of it.

Right now I have the 05062011-lightsensor nightly installed

I have done all of it ...factory reset...reset the cache and wiped battery stats

the only issue i am facing is that if the phone is in sleep mode and I get a missed call or an sms the hardware light stays on

like sometimes for the whole night if i miss a call or sms

so this i belive will kill my battery life....

is anyone else having this issues ? or is there some setting i missed?

i checked the CM settings but could not locate it...please guide me

appreciate a response on this

thanks guys !
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Something you missed. It's the equivalent of BLN that are in some of the kernels for Samsung ROMs. It's to compensate for lack of LED notifications on our phones. It can be disabled in Cyanogenmid settings
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
It lights up for notification, you can turn it off with quiet hours.
