Flash CWM from ROM Manager then flash GApps or google it and flash the latest from recovery.

..here is the latest gapps (i think ;)):

just flashed this on the cappy. Its feelin buttery smooth
[Captivate Android Development] pandakh:
I cant flash cwm...it says it is not available yet :s
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
wow really? ..strange. Well, then just dl the gapps i provided in that link and flash in recovery.

Hey guys!!!!1 new to the thread, i was reading a lot of the post and from what i gathered

Can

flash this like any other rom I use??

I'm on the i-9000 bootloaders and i want to try this, so can i just download the zip.. drop it on my cappy and flash?? or do i have to do something else? please hlep thank you
[Captivate Android Development] pandakh:
Thanks man :)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
as far as I know, you can flash this with the i9000 bootloaders. Make a nandroid backup..just in case.. wipe your data cache, and dalvik cache.. a factory reset might not be a bad idea to have a fresh clean install of CM7. After you do all that.. cross your fingers and flash :p
[Captivate Android Development] :
Just wanted to say it was the laptop. Got my hands on a different computer, worked like a charm.
[Captivate Android Development] tacotino:
I love that last part... lol

so i have cwm should i download the one from Clockwork? like the op says?

or should i just get the zip and go from there?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
If you have CWM on your phone then i would just grab the latest nightly and boot into recovery and flash.

Now I'm pretty sure I saw a post confirming the gingerbread bootloaders worked. Whether it was the i9000 one or the i897 one, I can't recall but you should be good. Let us know how it worked out!
[Captivate Android Development] Gibieyal:
I flashed from stock gingerbread with GB Captivate Bootloaders to nightly 101

and It works great : )

To the person having trouble getting the PC to recognize the phone, make sure you are plugging the usb cable DIRECTLY into the motherboard. Dont use any sort of hub or splitter.

Also, check to make sure that you have USB debugging enabled and see if you are getting any notifications on the phone that the phone is plugged in (in other words, make sure the hardware on the phone is working correctly to tell the PC that it is plugged in).
[Captivate Android Development] TomMelee:
My call quality went through the ROOF upon switch. I show better signal too, wifi locks in under 5 seconds usually, wifi seems faster--not sure on that one. I'm happy.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thanks for confirming the captivate GB bootloaders work fine :)
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
On both #102 and #103, my phone has been experiencing a boot-loop. First time it happened was after I installed ROM Toolbox (on nightly 102) and then changed the system font through that app. Shortly after, the phone just went into a boot-loop sequence. I was finally able to get the phone to boot (I think it was because I took the battery out for a few seconds and then rebooted, but not 100% sure that's what did it), and then proceeded to flash back to stock and reload the latest nightly (now #103).

Well, after doing that, loading all of my apps and settings the way I like them, I went to Theme Chooser and changed themes. Boom -- boot-loop again! :mad: I really hope I don't have to do another re-flash! Uggh!

Anyone else experiencing this? I didn't have this problem on the earlier nightlies, so I'm wondering if somehow the theming isn't compatible with the last 2 nightlies?

Thanks for your input/comments/other...

(**EDIT: Could not get out of boot-loop this time, so I've had to reflash!)
[Captivate Android Development] :
Thanks, I finally figured it out. It was the computer itself. I had no issue with the second computer.
[Captivate Android Development] Gibieyal:
What kernel you recommend to CM?

I'll try them all but I want an opinion.

Can someone explain me how to use UV?

Because I read about it and didn't get it..

I have installed UVcontrol and when I try to apply settings it just reboots and not

making changes.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I am on 101 with the eyecandy theme and was about to update. I will do a nandroid backup and flash tonight to verify.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
Please let me (us) know if you run into any of the same issues...I am currently sticking to the default theme until I can verify whether that's what is causing the bootloops.
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
uv=undervolt (in mv) which means your phone is using less electricity to power it at the set processor speeds (in mhz), the apps i think that are reccommended (according to whom you ask) are voltage control, control freak, or pimpmycpu, all of which can adjust your mhz (for underclocking or overclocking) your amount of undervolt per mhz setting, the kernel scheduler/governor, and such. people choose to undervolt to experience higher overclock speeds with greater stability, and to increase battery life and reduce heat production at any mhz speed.

I, personally, find the best kernels (right now, running on my particular captivate that could have results different than your own) to be, in this order 1. NEO 17r7 2. cm7 stock kernel 3. glitch *****mind you this is my personal experience with my personal captivate, and every users opinions and results will vary. main point: experiment, try a few kernels on a stable nightly, decide which performs best for your personal usage, and stick with that one, or jump around every update to any kernel like i tend to :p thats my favorite thing about android. you get to decide
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Just updated from #101 to #103 and no issues with themer or anything else so far. I am using red remix theme and also flashed the metamorph files along with it using zip-themer. Also I used font changer to change my fonts. Did not reboot loop or anything. Hope you figure it out.

[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
i have had a theme specific boot loop issue, it may be the theme trying to be used has files from a previous framework that isnt compatible with the newest nightlies (probably pictures designated to some place in the framework-res that has been changed or something random like that), so try any random theme from the market instead of the one used first and see if the boot loop persists
[Captivate Android Development] codeworkx:
Known bug and already listed.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
not yet, once merged with mainline, it should be possible

only restore user apps+data, never system data

first rule of cyanogenmod: no ETA's

yes, you can manually edit the framework, but you cannot use any of the pre-compiled ones currently available on the forums

known issue, devs are looking into it
[Captivate Android Development] blazin619:
This is pretty effing stable... all these issues people are having are from user error. I have been using very heavily and have not got a fc at all.

I have a 1007 with no voice issues at all. I am using the ugkl2 modem from the open download. I did have a bad robot sounding voice on one call. So I hung up and called back and it did not come back. I am located in Southern California with pretty good cell coverage though.

Anyone else missing some of the numbers in the keyboard, 3/6/7/8/9 are gone.
[Captivate Android Development] nlancaster:
Been running this for the last 24hrs. Only problems I have had was forgetting to change the wifi sleep policy, and the oreintation problem with some apps.

One of which is my fault, and the other just requires a work around.

Otherwise this rom is very reponsive. and I have had no problems with any apps off the market.

Keep up the good work , looking forward to a more complete/stable rom! :D
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
That's something implemented in the Nexus S, it's nothing youre doing wrong it's just part of the ROM at the moment.
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
I think it's the theme you flashed :T
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
read the OP

it's related to a lack of support for param.lfs, not because of nexus s stuff
[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
I went back to the stock theme and they're still missing, doesn't bother me since i use swiftkey anyway but its something i noticed.
[Captivate Android Development] pagandoc:
humm so how can i recalibrate the battery? I have a lot of battery drain compared to most froyo roms but again the display says full charge at 92%
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I'll paraphrase coolya... "recalibrating battery is nothing but snake oil... has no real impact"
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
Hmm, I thought I had done that. Does "Restore all apps with data" include system data? If it does, what option should I use? There is no "apps+user data" option. I'll try reflashing, but this time, I'll delete all backups and only back up app data.
[Captivate Android Development] tcortinag:
Is there another solution? Been trying this with Humas vs Aliens and no luck, I read another post to delete TiBu backup for that app, already done that too, reboot the phone a few times, but same error.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
restore all missing apps + data (blue text)

how many apps are trying to install, you might possibly be running out of space on /datadata... the current partition layout won't work if you're one of those people with like 150+ apps
[Captivate Android Development] tcortinag:
I have 85 apps, but only got 3.86Mb free in datadata :(
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
I will give that a try...

The themes I was trying, in case they are the same ones you tried, were LiquidMetal and EpicBlueNBold. I had been using Crystal before attempting a change, and did not experience any issues. I might go back to that one and see if it plays nice...
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
mine was a tweaked honeybread with tablet tweaks soft keys themed from the HD2 threads, back when i had an HD2 and such, they include the option in custom cm7 roms for cmsettings to toggle what soft keys are displayed, where they are displayed, and if there is a dead zone in the status bar and this .apk themed the honeycomb-esque soft keys, so when changing roms the apk caused me boot loops, yours probably wont be so obvious, but it still could be a similar issue
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I will try a random one from the market now for you. I said I was using red remix and it is an old one. I haven't updated it recently from the market at all. But I will look for the theme you were trying and get back with ya on it.

EDIT: Just downloaded Honeybread HDPI theme. Opened theme Chooser and applied it. Some of the theme themed immediately. To make sure theme is fully installed I rebooted phone. I am using it right now with NO ISSUES so far.

What theme were you trying to install? I will try it out for you.

Another thing to note is are you overclocking/undervolting at all? Could be the issue. Or it could be the other app you installed, the toolbox? Are you trying a helicopter or mdpi version? Just trying to throw out other things that may be causing your bootloops.

External card under SD and internal under EMMC

I am running the stock kernel/modem, etc for now. My internal SD card shows under EMMC and my external SD shows under SD card. I have no idea how this happened since it is apparently supposed to be the reverse. It seems to have caused a problem for the autoupdate via ROM Manager. It prompts me for the update and after making the selections and letting it reboot to recovery, the installation goes very quick and reboots (without an update). I decided to do it manually by rebooting to recovery and I was seeing 100 and 101 under CWM~/get even though with the phone booted, I was seeing 102 and 103. :confused:It had me puzzled until I realized that I have CW on both the internal and the external SD now. I had different downloads in each. Is there any way to fix this? I am thinking of doing a wipe data/factory reset, dalvik, and cache and then flash 103 from CWM
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I flashed from 101 to 102 with the eyecandy theme enabled and I had no problems at all. I haven't flashed 103 yet simply because I want to first fix my internal and external SD cards being reversed...
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
As an experiment, I shut the phone off, pulled out my external SD and rebooted. My internal SD shows under EMMC and if I look under SD, it says it isn't mounted. If I try to use ROM Manager I get the error that the SD card needs to be mounted... Time for a factory reset I guess??? :confused:

EDIT: After a factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache and flashing 102 (with no external SD in the phone), the SD card is showing under SD as it should. I'm reinstalling everything and will add the external SD after they are all back and then try the upgrade to 103 via ROM Mgr to ensure that goes smoothly.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
There is a new option under cyanogenmd settings - applications - use internal storage that I think swaps the mount points. Sorry I didn't get to you before you wiped, but if you restore settings and it happens again you should just have to toggle that.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks, that sounds familiar... :o I think I saw that and figured "Internal storage" would be better for storing apps (faster) and checked it - and then forgot about it. There are so many customization options on this ROM (which is great) that it slipped my mind that I did that. I'll certainly remember it going forward.
[Captivate Android Development] tacotino:
I have to say best ROM ever for the cappy!!! Keep up the good work
[Captivate Android Development] Haas360:
So is major development slowing or it me? They have everything working right now. Besides TV out but no news on that. I just see the changelog hasn't had anything specifically awesome to the cappy since OC. Just a thought?

Definitely NOT dissing CM7 or the team! Lol wanted to clear that up D cm7 is mind blowing
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
Alright, yesterday I finally gave in to the temptation of trying this regardless to my love for battery life and now I'm wondering why I waited so long. This is great!

One question though, I know task killers are a sin and whatnot, but the only reason I ask which one to use on CM7 is because when Words With Friends stays running in the background it is an insane battery killer and I need to be able to stop it. I feel like Advanced Task Killer is just as bad with battery life. I use to just use the stock task manager bit obviously that was Samsung and cannot be used on CM7. Thanks for any help.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
CM7 has an awesome built-in task killer. Open up settings> applications> development > ..stop app via long press. Check that box and when you want to kill an app, long press the back button. It works fantastically :)
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
In the i9100 thread for CM7 I read that some of the devs are on vacation right now. I believe I read ATMIN is on vacation for 3 weeks or something. Don't fret, they will keep this going forward, I know some on that thread also want the tv out option working. I am sure between the 2 phones they are quite different but it will work in time.

[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
So, I went back to Crystal theme (v 1.6) and I am again having NO problems. I wonder if there was some issue with the others I was trying not being updated for some of the newer features of CM7? Anyhow, I think I will just stick with Crystal for now and try to be sure that any themes I try in the future are relatively recently updated.

Also, no OC/UV going on. And thought it worth mentioning that the themes I was trying are ones I have successfully used before, so that further leads me to believe that something changed recently that isn't working with those themes. Finally, I did un-install the ROM Toolbox app that I mentioned, so i can't say definitively whether or not that was the issue, but I suppose it is possible, since I haven't had any problems since uninstalling.

Bluetooth Problem?

Hi,

:confused:Does anybody else has the Bluetooth problem as I do on CM7 101 ?

:(Or I have had to wipe and the install the rom? or something that I am not aware of it!!!

I don't have any bluetooth issues either. I don't connect mine to my car so I can't put any input on that, but I just flashed yesterday and today I used my bluetooth headset at the gym and it worked flawlessly. Better than most ROMs I've used actually.

[Captivate Android Development] Malorkus:
I have an issue to report with the Accessibility option "Power button ends call". The description says that it makes the power button end a call "instead of turning off the screen." This is exactly what I want, and it does this, but it also ends a call if you press the power button while the screen is off, instead of turning on the screen. So for example I was using speakerphone a few days ago and the display timed out and went black as expected. At some point I needed to use the on-screen numeric pad to enter a number and I pushed the power button, which ended my call instead of just waking up the screen. This issue also happens when the screen is off due to the proximity sensor. At least there I can get it back on again by moving it away from my head, but I still think the call should only be ended if the screen is already on.

I distinctly remember that this did not happen on the stock Samsung ROM or other ROMs like Cognition/Perception. I suspect it's not a new bug but I'm running #101 right now with the stock CM7 kernel, etc. if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] jjtitus098:
Can't you turn the screen back on by using the volume rocker?
[Captivate Android Development] Malorkus:
Actually no, my display isn't set to turn on when I adjust volume, which is what I want. But even if it did, that would be an annoying workaround because you'd have to push two buttons each time in order to keep volume the same. And the behavior on Samsung's ROM makes more sense anyway.

Radio problems

I tried searching but didn't see anyone describe anything similar. I started using CM7 recently (build 98) and ran the stock JL3 modem for a couple of days. It had fairly decent signal but GPS was not what I was used to. I tried flashing a couple of modems that specifically said they were for CM7. After I tried the KC1 modem, I had no signal at all when I would normally have full bars including that modem on I9000 ROMs. The baseband version said "unknown". After trying other modems that normally worked it still said "unknown". I eventually wiped and reflashed. Today I decided to try again and the first modem flashed fine but the second caused the same problem. When flashing JK4, I would get a signal but weaker than normal as if it was stuck on 1900 when 850 is the default and always has been best for me. I saw some references about some modems being made for CM7 with "the old partition layout" and I am wondering if that has anything to do with it. I tried putting it into airplane mode thinking maybe it would help when I took it out. If it starts in "unknown" then it gets stuck in airplane mode where I see the icon but the power menu says airplane mode is off as well as under the menu settings. I just tried flashing the JL3 modem from "goo inside me" and get "uknown" for baseband. Any ideas?

Edit: I have since upgraded multiple times and am on 103 currently.

Edit: It seems to be fine now. I deleted all the CM7 radio zips I had and re-downloaded them from the Captivate section on "Goo-Inside me" and the filenames were different so maybe I had older versions somehow.

Why does my phone flip out when its on the charger? I'm so sick of it not reading my freaking fingers right. I press send on a text and it hits 9 like 3 times. Or I was just holding the backspace and it kept putting random letters and numbers yet it was on the spacebar. Please fix this its super freaking annoying.

[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
The increased electrical interference from the charging can sometimes mess up the sensitivity on the touchscreen. There's nothing you can really do.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Only when using crap chargers, from my experience. Use original wall brick. And hopefully original cable.

I have issues with my headset too. It seems to disconnect randomly while on calls and it's not daily. I assumed it is an issue with the headset and I don't have my other headset to test it.

Yesterday my headset button would not launch the voice actions (which never works as well as I want it to. I miss my BlackBerry's voice dialing). I had to turn off the headset and turn it in again. All I could think about was The IT Crowd. :)

So I've been on CM7 since the Nightly 30s. It's amazing how awesome this Mod has gotten. But there's one problem I have with it...wifi cutting in and out. I love CM7, but it sucks when the Wifi cuts out every 2-3 minutes. I've tried other routers, and it's the same issue with them as well. Never happened on the stock firmware. I went to the advanced options, and made sure wifi never turns off. But this cutting in and out is very annoying. On the latest build
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
It also has to do with how well the touchscreen is insulated. If his capacitive layer isn't properly insulated, normal charging could increase interference just enough to affect the touchscreen.
