Hello everyone. I know I may have asked this before, but it got overrun by another, more obvious, question that I asked at the same time, but has anyone tried to see if they can access the emmc/emnc folder via DroidExplorer? I'm guessing it's not quite the same as making it USB mountable, but still possibly giving you desktop access to the SD card somehow.

And btw, I did search and my original post about this is the only one on the topic, until now.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Ok this problem has been bugging me for a while and have yet to find a pattern.

For some reason every time I restore my TIBU back up it will not be able to restore all my programs (about 200). Some times it leaves 20 , 30 or even more and those I cannot restore even trying one by one. It says program restored but nothing happens.

Also, while some programs seem to never restore there are others that restore some times and other they dont so I cannot even determine a simple pattern here.

I ended up using another application to restore whatever TIBU does not restore but the other app has me go through the whole Install step on each one so its not very efficient.

I never had issues with Tibu on 2.2.1 roms so I am wondering if anyone else is having this and may have found a solution.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I have about 100 programs that I restore and I've never had that issue. I just did a factory reset and restored 2 days ago after I messed some stuff up playing around and everything restored fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
use the "df" command in shell to see how much you're filling up your cache (or datadata)... in Samsung ROM's it was something crazy large (like 300 MB) but since the partition layout had to be reorganized for MTD, it's only 130 MB now... and to be quite reasonable, there's no way you *need* 200 apps installed (which codeworkx and coolya agree on). space is at a premium on the new partition layout, and it was the lesser of two evils.
[Captivate Android Development] jbcap43:
Damn, that's a lot of apps!! I've only got about 30, and I typically only restore about half of them!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I will verify that but about the 200 apps comment...you do realize we are not all the same right? Just because you may only need 50 , some other guys may only need 100, does not mean someone that needs 200 is just stupid ;)

While that makes sense, why is it that I can then still install more apps as long as it is not via restoring from Tibu?

I also get an error from the market some times like I have run out of space or similar error so you might be onto something.

Funny thing is , to bypass the market error all I have to do is login to the android market from my computer and send the installation from there. :eek:

Crazy stuff!
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
So, I'm not using CM7, but I think you might want to try the Websharing app from the market. It makes mounting your sd Card on the computer obsolete.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yes, I get that everyone has different needs, but when the choice is between "have the ability to use a modem" or "install 200 apps", I guess the modem wins every time. there's nothing really to be done to fix that, except you can symlink /datadata into /data and it can utilize the full 2 GB partition of /data (just expect some odd slowdown here and there).... this isn't even addressed in the FAQ even though it was well-past known because it affects such an incredibly small subset of, what I call, "insane people" :P
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Wait..ability to use a modem? I do not lose any modems for doing this....are we on the same page? :confused:

In any case, its weird that restoring the data stops like that but manually installing the programs that did not restore work out just fine...I would think if the data was full already it would be full no matter what I tried.

Oh well, another world oddity :D
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
By ability to use a modem, he means that they needed the space for the modem.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Modems may vary by your location and below is a personal test I did with the CM7 modems available and the results I had while doing so. I never moved from the exact location I was at and let the phone get its full signal in between testing modems. It may not be too scientific but it narrowed it down for me. From what I have read the best rate is in the -80's of which two gave me that and the others were more negative. I noticed it with some having full bars yet xda and websites loaded very slowly or timed out. That is why I tested it out.

Stable Camera a High Priority?

Installed CM7 on my sister's phone. :cool:

The only thing she's complaining about is the camera.

It's slow, laggy, it crashes sometimes and you can't record in 720p @ 30FPS. :(

Everything else is FAR superior to ANY Samsung 2.2 rom. :D

QQ: Is fixing the camera a high priority right now? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
Read read read its good for you.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
not really. they want it to be better, but there are way more important things than camera quality.

Oh, okay. Was about to post the issue on the Google Code page.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
Hi everyone I been running cm7 for two days with little problems. I get random vibration even if my hepatic is off which I think is one of my problem with battery life key board is off to. My main issue is I have the nigthly 04042011 but I still don't see my SD card. It's not a big deal but since the update include SD fix. I wonder if I really have the latest update. I downloaded the nightly update twice and install it using clock work twice with same result.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
I tried to edit my post. I meant 02042011 nigthly update. It won't let me edit my post. Sorry for the typo
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the sd card tweaks has nothing to do with USB sharing of the external SD card.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
So on my phone I'm still going to see one SD drive which is the phone memory and no SD card?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
On the phone you have /mnt/sdcard which is the internal sdcard, and /mnt/emmc which is the external.

Mounting on your computer will only mount the internal sdcard.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Yes.

Maybe we shouls add next to the sd card comment for this update on the OP a note like (not the external card) or something cause I too was confused with that one :-)
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
Thanks for the quick reply guys. Now I get. Now I can see my SD card under emmc. Is the appbrain big fix yet? I get error when I lunch appbrain

After RC4 Apr2nd install 3G not starting/ slow

After installing the April 2nd nightly build, I find that my phone is slower laggy UI compared to the previous build.

Also my internet (3G) does not start unless I go into Wireless->MObile Networks and select 'Use only 2G networks'...upon which the 3G starts up and this selection doesn't actually stick.

I restored back from a Nandroid and will wait for another build.
[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
I should say that, other than the above the CM7 conversion has been pleasant. I find my phone as responsive and fast as it was under 2.2.1 with an OC kernel and lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
I noticed this upon first boot of the nightly. After a factory data reset and cache and dalvik clear it picked up like a monster. I think it might have something to do with the tweaks to the settings files for the emmc links... Try that and it "should" help, but I haven't noticed anyone else have this problem other than us, so here's hoping.
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
Have been running the latest nightly build with ALMOST no issues for the last 4 days. However, I am experiencing 2minor issues and was wondering if anybody else has experienced something similar...

1. On incoming phone calls, the screen takes about 2 to 3 seconds to wake up after the sound and vibrate indications start. So basically, you hear and feel the incoming phone call way before you see it.

2. The overall speaker volume is much quieter at any setting compared to 2.2.1 roms. I tried up amping the speaker through the equalizer app, but this had a very little effect.

So, is this just me or are others experiencing this too?

By the way, I am sporting escapists 4.4 OC 'd and UV 'd to 1200 mhz...

NOTE : I 've verified that the issues listed exist in default setting / mode too...

Thanks in advance...

I've definitely noticed the quiet volume level, especially in-call volume. It's almost impossible to hear anything at maximum volume in a retail store, or mall, or similar loudness-area.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
If you guys are talking about in call volume, try I different modem. I've had pretty good luck with KC1 so far. If it's ring tones and notifications, under cm settings - sound, set the attenuation to 0db.
[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
Doesn't that only affect volume when headphones are plugged in?
[Captivate Android Development] n0stalgia:
Where'd you get a CM7-compatible version of KC1?
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
Yes it does... gave it a try anyway and din't work. So, back to square 1 (only for this... otherwise the ROM rocks!)

[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Does CM7 update the signal bars in real time now?

I haven't tried the latest update, but all previous versions the signal strength just sticks at whatever it is right after turning on.

Most annoying thing ever thinking you have signal when you don't.
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
What's your opinion on the KC1 modem and will it be able to pick up 850MHz?
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Downloaded from the modem thread and just copied the modem.bin file into a CM7 compatible modem zip. Here's the file, It's not signed properly but should still work.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Can't really check what band it's using in CM7, as far as I know, but reports in the captivate modem thread are that it defaults to 850. Probably better to ask questions there.

[Captivate Android Development] Jemack:
Negative here, not having your issues on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
Before you install CM7, you have to enable 850Mhz... otherwise it won't work. If you set it to default to 850Mhz in Froyo, then it will here too. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no, it probably won't, as the modem is no longer stored in the same location so anything you've "told" the modem before installing CM7 will not get carried over.
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
Oh, well how do we check which band we're on? Is there an app?

A strange issue here.

After done full steps according to the CM7 Thread I successfully install CM7 onmy cappy,but felt a little bit of laggy:(,then I turned to another kernel(TheEscapist's 4.4) .Everything went fine after that.

Here is the problem.

I flashed another kernel ([Kernel][CM7] Platypus (4/07) Voodoo, OC/UV, LED notification),suddenly the lag came again:confused:I tried to flash back to Escapist's but the lag didn't go away.

I've read the FAQ :( now flashed back to Dragon RC6
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you don't. which is why we only suggest modems that have a known 850 MHz band.

go into recovery, mount the /data partition, format it, do a factory reset, reboot

are you really complaining of random lagginess on a PRE-BETA, from source ROM? I guess I must have missed all those laggy moments opening the simple dialer in any samsung ROM.

[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
For anyone wondering how GPS performance is on this ROM, I say it was closed to being perfect. I did a test this morning with my drive across town and I can safely say that no ROMs in the past has ever given me such accuracy. With Samsung ROMs the marker would continue in the same direction a bit and trail off while making a turn but no such thing happened when I tested it with CM7. If I was making a 90 degree turn, the marker would actually turn 90 degrees on the spot while I was turning. I was shocked to the point where I almost couldn't believe it as it was pretty much working like a normal GPS.

The only issue was that it was constantly only accurate by 10m, where I think the Samsung ROMs were exact. Despite this, the direction marker was perfect and exact surprisingly. This wasn't an issue at all.

Additionally, I was surprised that the location marker was an arrow while driving as I thought the compass wasn't working?

As someone that was thinking the GPS wouldn't be that great until the team fixed it, I was pleasantly surprised by what I experienced this morning. I will try using the GPS once again when I leave the house later today.

And for those of you that think that GPS is always great for the first few, I flashed CM7 about a week ago. I assume "GPS degradation" would have been in effect by now?
[Captivate Android Development] a.vandelay:
my GPS is fantastic, but this is a replacement phone. my first phone sucked with any ROM, so maybe this one is great with any ROM. but i flashed cyanogenmod as soon as i got it.

Not sure, but here's my info:

JK4

TheEscapist's kernel 4.4 100mz

CM7 03-29-2011 (didn't update to the newest one yet)

Settings > Location & security > Use wireless networks (off)

Not sure if anything else could be of help.
[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
I get the same issues, it trails off and takes forever to lock. I was in Di11 7.x rom before no issues.

I also find it is worse when I am streaming music to my Sync.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I am not sure why but for example I flashed the 0318 yesterday and none of the nightlies after that.

Took a 50 drive to a unknown please and it took me there perfectly. Only coming back home it missed a spot but just barely.

Very impressed.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
I have this exact same problem and its horrible. In certain places in my work, I get a signal and others I do not. When I get to a spot that I know has 0 signal, it still shows 2 bars and H and I know that is incorrect. If I turn the phone off and back on, it will correctly show no signal in that area. Its extremely slow in updating signal strength.

I have tried different modems as well to see if that would correct the problem but it does not.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Did you try bending the back contact up on your phone? I put a rubber band underneath that clip so I always have a firm connection.

Have you tried restarting?

What happened before you started getting the error?

[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
I think you need a new phone. Your phone wasn't suitable for CM7 and it has resulted in long-term battery corruption.

Or if you read the Q&A:

;) You're fine.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
It's overheating. If you have a hard case, check the screen timeout settings and set them lower. the screen is still on(although black) and is causing the device to heat up for the time it's waiting. Setting the screen timeout lower will fix this. Without a case this isn't an issue(or with a soft silicon one as they transfer heat relatively well).
