Hey guys!

Im just having a few issues with the rom,

This is the 2nd time I installed the rom

Both times i installed the rom and When "Auto Rotation" is enabled my screen goes in to landscape mode;Now i tried watching a movie and when auto rotation is off, it wont go into landscape mode.

another problem i have is that Restarting into Recovery isnt working for me at all. Tried it through Rom Manager, as well as holding down the power button Reboot - > Recovery ; It will still boot normally into the OS, and skip recovery. The only way i got it to recovery is using the 3 button combo.

Anyone having these as well?
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
Thank you for your reply. Your correct, I probably should wait and until a more stable release comes out hopefully I will have found all the info I need.

Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Just flashed the files from the OP and wifi is working fine for me...
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Are you serious? You turned it off. No wonder it won't go into landscape.

Read the very first post... several more times

I don't think so...
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
OK, how did you install this without actually reading the OP? Reboot recovery or download, adb reboot, nothing but 3 button gets you to recovery, as it says. PLEASE read before you hurt your phone....

And I cannot even imagine how you could have the orientation issue.... it's been fixed for weeks..

just dont want you to hurt your very expensive device....
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Sounds like a kernel issue. If you flash a galaxy S kernel on a captivate, this will happen. It will also mess up your home buttons and the sound wont work--unless a you insert headphones only half way into the headphone jack. If these other things are happening then it is probably a kernel problem. Are you sure you are using a captivate kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Known bug (in the OP)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Erm . . . read the OP at all? They are in it . . . sort of hard to miss.
[Captivate Android Development] sportedwood:
working great for me, TY! Now with both my inspire and captivate on CM7 I REALLY cant decide what one to keep... ahhhH!
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I flashed this around 6 hours ago, not sure if the build has changed since then.

At first this wasn't an issue but I just noticed it, as they are reporting above, it seems that screen orientation works at times. If I disable it, it works as it should. No re-orientation occurs, except in apps that require it (like the camera).

If it is on, the screen doesn't get reoriented even if you tilt the phone. AND, if you open the camera, for instance, and exit, the screen stays landscape.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
This is very very VERY cool :) I'm really enjoying it!

Sure I dropped ADW as I never liked it but who cares? I am extremely happy to have my captivate in Brazilian Portuguese finally! I can read/write in english easily but only when you speak more than one language you realize how extremely automatic is to read in your own damn language :D

Thank you very much for the hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
If you mess something up you'll be spending even more time in front of the pc trying to fix the phone, in your case its probably best to stay away from cm7 for the time being and just use regular roms where install's are fairly simple.

[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
You should probably reflash the ROM, it sounds like something went very wrong when you flashed the first time, I have none of those problems.
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
Thank you very much. Fortunately for me I'm happy running continuum 3.1 for now.

Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Its in the cm7-captivate-initial-package-XXXXXXXX-XX.zip file with the other two zip files. Guess you found it.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Is it normal that my phone shows full charge but if I go to status under settings it is at 92%
[Captivate Android Development] Inzombie:
where is cm7-captivate-initial-20110303.zip file? douh!
[Captivate Android Development] demonte21:
I lost my 3G after applying the update package in CWM. I guess I should not apply the Update package if it's a new installation?

I'm going back to stock and re-doing the whole process right now, without applying this, this time!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I'm not angry, I'm asking which features are you referring to and then giving you the most commonly requested ones and an explanation of why they don't work/aren't included. I'm also letting you know the likely outcome to and simply suggesting using another ROM that contains these features if they're important to you.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Will I run into any problems flashing this over cognition 4.2 since it doesn't use standard clockworkmod recovery? Are there any kernels I can flash for the kb1 rom im using that will enable cwm recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
read and follow the instructions, if you're incapable of following them exactly, do not flash this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
When new kernels/rom files are posted on the CM7 website for the captivate along with the nightly update files (http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/captivate/) is there any benefit in reflashing the kernel and rom, rather than the most recently nightly file?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
if you're already on CM7, just use the nightly as it includes the latest kernel and ROM fixes.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
OK.. I am getting ready to follow Tutorial and Flash CM7 with Build from 3-18. Once I am done I just need to check the Thread and Download and Flash Nightly updates as they appear...Correct?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
correct.... once on cm7, just update with nightly as released
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Lol yes. CM7 goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks...Off I go..hope to be back in a few....:D. Damn I love to Twinker.

"If it ain't broke fix it until it is"
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Be prepared to the addiction of F5 hoping for new nightly builds lol
[Captivate Android Development] SteveCheeseman:
Will there ever be a version of this rom that flashable through cwm our is this how cyanogen roms are installed
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
And I thought settling on Cyanogenmod over all of the other roms would fix my flashing addiction. LOL
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
No. Read a few posts back explaining why

And don't ask stupid questions
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
It cured my addiction for sure.
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
I have a question. I'm no CM7, but I'm a few nightlies behind.

Does this mean I can download the latest one, and it's a cumulative for all the fixes before it, or do I need to upgrade the nightlies in order. Sorry if this has been asked, but my search didn't find it.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
for the 1,000,000,000,000th time......

NO!!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You have to know something....there is no cure for this we just changed the addiction from multi ROMs to just upgrading one but thats it ! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Read the instructions before posting silly comments
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Flash away...
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I can't see myself ever running something other than CM7. The nightlies help my addiction. Never going back to froyo ever ever ever!!!!! All hail CM7!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Got 14 hours without a charge. I would call that epic
[Captivate Android Development] loserskater:
This is one of the main reasons I went back to Froyo... currently 22% battery after 24hrs. The other reason is the dock audio. As soon as that gets implemented I might be ok with shorter battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
24 hours is impressive I've never got more then 19 on froyo
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
lol..good one
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Yes exactly. I tried all of the captivate froyo roms, but nothing can beat AOSP gingerbread! It isn't just hype either, it is absolutely a vastly better operating system.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
It seems to me that the changes in the nightly files for each day are extremely slight. Am I right or am I missing something? If I am right, why flash the nightly file every time one comes out?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
My guess is you probably don't need to do every nightly but it may be a case by case basis sometimes. For example the newest nightly is suppose to fix a problem I have with one of my cappys having bad boot blocks and unable to flash nightly updates or kernels without getting stuck on the ATT screen. Most other nightlies are fixing SOMETHING even if it doesn't seem to be an issue with your own phone or it is something that must be tweaked and makes it even more stable. Personally ( other than the one cappys bad block issue) I have had way less bugs with CM7 than almost any froyo rom. But with the way it works you can easily wait a few updates in between and when you do decide to update all the fixes from the missed updates will already be included I. The newest update. This is just my understanding so anyone correct me if I am wrong.

The Honeybread theme is by far the most epic. In my opinion.

Edit: off topic I know but just expressing my opinion
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Anyone else have 03-18 nightly break their booting for them? It gets stuck on the 2nd screen after AT&T... reflashed 03-16 and it works fine. :\
[Captivate Android Development] Konner920:
Am I the only one that has sound issues? Notifications and such are extremely quiet for my taste.. even when I have the volume up all the way.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
This is something I have noticed in both the stock kernel and the Escapist's one. But it only seems to happen right after the boot, and the phone goes back to normal after a while. I'm pretty sure it's related to Simi Folded Widgets.

[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Under cyanogenmod settings - sound, set the attenuation for 0db. Pretty sure that helped mine.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
Too early to start the battery life comparison, CM is still under development. I get 10-12 hours on CM with Moderate use..
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
A quick note on the 03182011 nightly update. It seems to have hurt my phone's performance for some reason. I originally flashed it on top of the 03162011 nightly update. When I ran the neocore benchmark, I consistently got about 59 frames per second. When I flashed the 03182011 nightly, it consistently got about 46 fps with the same OC/UV settings (OC'ed to 1.2 ghz). I restored the 03162011 nightly and it consistently gets 59 fps again. My quadrant score also got worse with the recent nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
The shear awesomeness of AOSP gingerbread is more than worth the reduced battery life. If you want complete predictability and no excitement, iPhones already give that.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
WAH WAH WAH artificial benchmarks went down! OH NOES WHATEVER SHALL I DO! also, 1.2 GHz oc = custom kernel, go complain to them
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I get 13-14 on CM7
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
I was wrong about what I said. The reduced performance happened on the native CM7 kernel. I didn't restore the custom kernel until after I established that the problem wasn't kernel specific.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it's not a problem... it's like saying "your food is too hot" as being the same thing as "the food is bad." the phone runs fine, I've been testing personal builds running the stock setup for over a month, you're complaining about COMPLETELY ARTIFICIAL benchmarks, which is just asinine.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
1 - using another kernel..... as stated, therefore, check there for your issues

2 - you are seriously saying, with a straight face, that you are *surprised* that an *overclocked* kernel scores higher than on regular kernel????

3 - as is also stated, *many times*, the updates flash a kernel. therefore, when you flashed the update you went back to the stock cm kernel, unless you *afterwards* flashed the oc kernel again....
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Read my comment above. I restored the normal CM7 kernel before discovering this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
there needs to be an intelligence test required to install cm7......
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Agreed

Most of your comments are wrong on even basic technical issues. Fortunately others here know what they are talking about.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
You are confrontational to a great many people besides me. I was going through the flame war aftermath from the other day after it was cleaned up and was surprised that the admins took no action against you because your confrontational behavior was at least as bad as the other offenders in that flame war. And I have noticed this on other threads. I haven't actually noticed comments of yours to the questions of non-devs that hasn't been insulting or confrontational. I am sure you have here or there been nice to such people, but it seems to be more the exception than the rule.

As for your second question, take a look at the answers to my questions that you gave. You will notice that in most cases, right after you "answered/insulted" me someone else gave a more detailed answer that differed from yours and turned out to be right.

There is nothing wrong with you occasionally (or even commonly) giving bad advice. The problem is your caustic attitude in addition to that.

I haven't called anyone stupid or used any other personal insult, which you have several times to me, and several more to others (just from what I have noticed, no doubt many more I have never seen).

The FAQ answers very few of the questions people (besides me) seem to be having again and again. I suggested earlier that you expand it, only to be called 'stupid' by you yet again.

You seem to be more moderate in this response. Why can't you be more like that in general? Your caustic attitude is most of the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
I am aware there is a known issue with 2G/3G data toggle, but is there a trick or workaround to lock it exclusively to 3G only.

when Use only 2G networks is unchecked

that means 3G only or 2G/3G?
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Go away dip****
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
I wish. My darn kids wouldn't let me. Actually no sitter. I did get stuck in sxsw traffic, I guess that counts for something.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I don't think there is a way to lock/force 3G only (as 3G coverage isn't available everywhere, and it'd be killer on your battery life trying to grasp at weak signals)... the reason 2G can be forced is because it's more widespread and easier on the battery when having a low signal
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Besides, the phone will default to 3G if it's available.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
So how many "lock and cleans" will this thread have to go through?

Quark,

Kaik may seem caustic, but in general it's because he's been around a while, and as another person who has been around a while I can completely relate to how he's feeling. It gets tiring answering the same questions over and over again, especially when there is a wealth of knowledge to be had on the forums and the internet in general to those who have the desire to learn.

The length and eloquence of your posts do not make them any less insulting, and your implications that Kaik pushes bad advice when you yourself have contributed literally nothing but thread crapping only compounds the offense.

This thread is not the thread for android 101, it is not the thread to explain CM. The CM team has a long standing history of being surly to people who ask questions, especially ones that are relatively of the noobish variety. I suggest you relax and step away from the thread, do some recreational reading if you have such a hungry mind, but arguing how right or wrong you are in this thread isn't going to net you anything but a forum ban.
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
just curious,

Dimmed bars = no signal (obviously)

Green bars = ?

White bars = ?

I am having a Problem. I have Flashed back to Stock Eclair. I am rooted and have 3 Button ability(after fix). I am at the point where I am trying to Flash the "speedmod.tar" in 1.7 Odin and this Version of Odin crashes with my Windows 7. Previous Odin 1.3 did fine because that what I used to get to Stock from Darky's ROM. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
green = account verified with google (takes up to a minute to confirm with google's servers)

white = account not verified (or no google account sync'd)

I've been using 1.3 ODIN exclusively and had no problems installing it.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
White bars mean you have an indirect or no connection to Google, green means you have full connection to the mothership.

Use the old version of Odin?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks...Dumb question how do you do that? The only time have used 1.3 is to get to Stock and I just have to hit "Start" button. How do I tell 1.3 to flash a .tar file?

Thanks so much
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
I have seen that issue at below when surfing with wifi my bowser's url bar seems at below pic when I choosed any link from bookmarks , actually it is fixing itself when I touched the screen but I just wondered anyone has it ?

sometimes Odin acts up and you need to restart it .. or your computer.. the 1 time it was acting weird for me i restarted my computer and ran Odin.. worked fine.. could be worth a shot

*EDIT* little late on the post.. sorry fellas ;)
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Get the "full" odin, not the one click.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Wow. Good luck with your endeavours.

You need Odin 1.7 and flash the tar file in the PDA slot. You'll be solid

Sorry for my smart ass remark. No disrespect intended.
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
Or try compatibility mode?

Works fine here.. If the problem still persists, try disconnecting your phone and reconnecting it, after restarting your PC

HTH
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I was about to explain a bit further. The earlier posts still have me riled up.

Edit: I corrected myself. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
The best thing about all that has happened today is that I "soft bricked" my phone 1 time,Flashed to Stock 2-3 times so I feel better about trying things because all the things guys at XDA have done to help me. It really is hard to truly screw up a Captivate phone. Now saying that,the next time I do something I'll brick it....;)
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Hasn't happened yet. I only use Dolphin HD. but for a while when I first flashed CM7 I used default browser just to see if there was any difference between froyo and gb. I didn't encounter that at all.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Here is my Problem still. According to start/use Odin 1.7 I need to be in download mode "before" I connect my USB cable. Even though I can use 3 Button method to get to Recovery there is NO option to go to Download Mode there. When I do 3 button I get to "Blue" e2 recovery and no Download mode there. I can do a "reinstall" packages and get to "yellow" CMW but no Download mode there either that I can see?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
use odin 1.3, open it up first, turn phone off, plug USB into computer, hold down both VOL UP and VOL DOWN and plug in USB to phone... tada download mode
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks is this Odin 1.3 One Click or do I need "Full" Odin as was suggested before. I have done this with 1 Click but can't see where to Flash the .tar file there once in Download mode.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
if you don't know the difference between odin and odin one-click, I recommend you do not flash this ROM as you will be unlikely to save yourself if you get stuck in a bad flash.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks a ton pal... I got into Download with 1.3 Odin not the 1 click I had but a version I had never used(you learn something new each day). I have been able to Flash the 1st Speedmod Tar file...Off to next step

can someone upload a working camera.apk for me? I overwrote mine using root explorer with a captivate camera.apk and it didn't work :cool:

Please and thanks.

you think someone has a secret working camera and is holding out?

does anyone know if they are fixing the data connection problen on captivates 1007 i thought i saw a post awhile back.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Data works....
[Captivate Android Development] Colton5419:
Reason I wanted to try a different camera.apk was because google goggles crashes for me after i click accept in the application and then my camera also no longer works and it requires a reboot of the phone, I've submitted a support ticket though.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Odin 1.7....flash the tar file in PDA slot
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Camera works flawlessly for me. What's happening with yours?

Edit: I read your above post. Why are you swapping camera.apk's?

The stock camera on CM7 works just fine
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Goggles breaks the camera, it's a known issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Colton5419:
my camera works, it's google goggles that isn't working for me - and after that force closes when I get to "accept" in the application, then my camera also no longer works and I have to reboot

Ohh I see. I never use goggles
