[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
Speaking of cameras, is the camera's orientation problem fixed yet?
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Its only an issue for some 1007 phones. Some lose connection running anything other than a captivate modem. My old 1007 had the issue but after warranty exchange got a 1007 that is perfect.

I think you'll be working on that yourself. No one has bothered working on that issue in the at least 7 or 8 months its been known.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks.. I was just reading some stuff and saw about gapps. Gald you provided the link.
[Captivate Android Development] gleonard3:
FWIW: Refurbished 1007 here. Just drove 6+ hours streaming music with Google Navigation tracking me. No connection loss.
[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
to the guys above replying to my question

damn i might aswell call my insurance and say i lost my phone,what modem are you guys using i tried jl3 jl3 jk4 kb1im currently on jl3
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
JK4. Flawless.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Not on the stock camera but it works fine with Vignette from the market plus you can set it to 5mp which the stock camera doesn't support right now.
[Captivate Android Development] Mr. Clown:
What's wrong with this thread?. I had to clean tons of flaming and nonsense. Can you get along?.

Don't want to come again here.

Please, back on topic.
[Captivate Android Development] jaywelcome:
so far JK4 has worked great for me
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
is there any good video player on the market ? I dont watching my avi or mp4 video file
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Urk - that's just weird and new. Wouldn't even know where to start debugging that. But whatever it is, it isn't CM7 specific I don't think . . . let us know if you see it again, but don't hold your breath on a fix because I don't think we know what to fix!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
What he said. Each update does have a fix, but some of the fixes may not be affecting you personally (like the latest one regarding bad blocks) so sometimes you can wait to flash it, check the Changelog. But if you are running an earlier update, and you hit a bug, please first flash the latest to see if it got fixed before posting a bug report.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I want to again thank you guys for getting me up and running with CM7 yesterday. Loving it so far as I am setting up my phone and testing Apps. The two known problems of Phone coming on when plugged in and Not seeing my External SD Card is only minor thing to me and I know that will be figured out. I only tested a few of my 150 Apps only FC I have seen so far is on SGS Tools when try to test GPS(again no biggie). My Wifi does seem a bit "flakey" at times, I am using the default JL3 modem I guess I need to test other.

Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Erm, the things that make a phone i9000 or Captivate are the kernel and modem. And right now we are using the i9000 one with some mods to the kernel to support Captivate specific stuff. Modem is still i9000 usually except for people who can't use an i9000 one. Until I get Audience chip working, we are stuck with I9000 modems and at the moment I am working on SD Card issues which are higher priority. And using I9000 modems actually has the advantage that HSUPA works in them while Captivate modems have it disabled.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Added to the FAQ in the Q&A. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] zas0006:
The GPS test codes don't work in CM7. I found that out the hard way too!! :) I don't think they ever will, just like most of the other dialer codes don't work either. Oh well...
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Most of the dialer codes from Samsung Roms don't work because they call Samsung apps. Stock AOSP has dialer codes as well, but they are different.

Also, Atinm, just thought I'd ask quickly. I'm working on getting BLN working in my kernel. The cypress touchkey driver is fine, but something seems to turn off the touchkey controller after a few seconds, even if I purposely leave it on to write to the backlight. Any idea what could be forcing it to shutdown?
[Captivate Android Development] smackdownn:
could someone tell me a good task manager to use in CM7 like the default task manager in froyo..advanced task killer dosent work so well!
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
is there any place where we can find dialer codes for stock AOSP?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
http://cmsgs.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=List_of_Secret_Codes
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I just set the back button to kill all applications . Go into settings- application settings- development- stop app via long-press. Works fantastic.. even better than task manager! Hope that helps..
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I know it's early and CM7 still Beta but should some to the Tips for increasing Battery life that was used in Eclair and Froyo still work> Has anyone tried any and seen battery improvement?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
codes didn't work, how do you use them in CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Many of those will not work - they're just copied from eclair and froyo and many call Samsung stuff. I put them up so someone else could edit them but they've not been updated yet.
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
thanks for the quick reply
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Sleep processing - most probably in the mach-s5pv210 stuff, we set a lot of gpios to go to sleep. Most probably the one that keeps the touchkey controller on is also put to sleep to save battery - but I don't know which particular ones it is off the top of my head.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Okay, I'll take a look. Thanks Atinm.
[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
I made a few cm3 modem zips for jpg, jve, and js1, but where should I post them? I don't wanna clutter this thread with unrelated items. Any suggestions?

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Modem thread? Also, Atinm may want them for the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] azhar230:
Thank you godfather,

Everything seems question to me :)
[Captivate Android Development] dayloooo:
Oh maaan , i would really love to get that JPG modem . Did you happen to upload them anywhere already ?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
are we going to see a return of the sgs theme? i think it was taken off in the 3/13 or 3/16 nightly
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Ill see if I can post the calendar.apk your requesting.
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
Very impressive work. This runs so smooth on my 1007 Captivate. I have a new daily driver for the next week at least :)

EDIT: Just noticed my external SD is missing. I noticed it's a common issue with USB sharing. The phone doesn't see it at all however, I suppose the known bug encompasses that?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Just wanted to throw out a few things here after I finally upgraded to 3/18. After the updatee, something has happened to Handcent and it crashes every time you try to open a message. Messaging works, but I've never had this happen before EVER, so I figured I would mention it.

Also, does anyone know how to link contacts like you could in stock and other Captivate ROMs? I can't seem to get my contacts merged properly in my contact list.

Cog 3.4

Can i use CWM on Cog 3.4 to go to the 18th build or do I have to flash Speedmod Kernel via ODIN?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
My external shows. Just remember on cm7 its listed under emmc in root explorer or a similar app
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Do you have access to CWM on your current setup?
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
yes... so im guessing its a go. here... we.... go!
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
You don't have to flash speedmod. U just need to flash initial cm7 kernel on Odin then install the nightly

Edit: click repartition off and auto reboot off when u flash initial cm7 kernel. Then 3 button to recovery. Then format system data and cache. Then install 18th build. Its pretty simple if you follow the instructions
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Contacts are unlinkable.
[Captivate Android Development] JaredIsNinja:
Just installed this on my Cappy without using Odin thanks to other CM7 kernels.

Even the initial build runs fantastically. Updating to the latest nightly build right now as we speak. (:
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
I always Seeing it When Chosed any web adress in bookmarks
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks. That's a bit of a disappointment. I will just have to find another way to do it. Having 2 or 3 copies of the same contact because you have them on your gmail, fb, and twitter, is really annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
Im on Odin, got the initial-jernal lined up in ODIN with USB debugging set on my phone and ODIN keeps doing this:

<ID:0/011> Added!!

<ID:0/011> Odin v.3 engine (ID:11)..

<ID:0/011> File analysis..

<ID:0/011> SetupConnection..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I agree man. Its really really annoying ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Do you have sgs kernel flasher?

And is your phone in download mode?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Yeah. I miss that and the swiping gesture on the dialer from the original captivate. Maybe someday, lol.

Also, do you make sure and do the EFS backup before you started with ODIN?
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
nope... should I get it and use that instead of ODIN?
[Captivate Android Development] Thnikk:
I know you guys get this a lot, but I can't thank you enough for this rom. On every froyo and eclair rom I had used before this, I couldn't keep my phone from randomly shutting down, and in my 2 weeks of using CM7 I haven't run into it once. You guys saved me the $350 I payed for this phone and I absolutely love this rom :D THANK YOU!
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Put your phone in download mode. Then connect it to odin. Make sure re-partition is off and auto reboot is off. Flash I initial kernal then when its finished. Pull the battery out then put it back in and reboot into recovery using 3 button combo then go to mounts and storage and format system data and cache. Then install the initial.zip and after it installs wipe data/factory reset. And then reboot. And your on CM7!!!

Edit: if Odin doesn't want to work u can flash initial kernel on sgs kernel flasher with auto reboot off. Then pull the battery and follow the steps above.

Also male sure before you flash the initial kernel that you have applied captivate efs backup
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Try going to contacts and hit menu then go to display options. If u have multiples of contacts, u can choose to only see them in certain places
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
do NOT use sgs kernel flasher, it hasn't been updated to play with CM kernels. and do not deviate from the initial instructions. if you are having issues installing, start over from the beginning and use the WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS in the first post
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
You can use sgs kernel flasher if your not on CM7. I've don't it every single time to get on CM7 it hasn't messed me up once.

Edit: also the app hasn't been updated in weeks. I just flashed the initial kernel like a week ago on sgs kernel flasher.
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
Marker and Gmail

Ok just flashed this ROM.How do I get market and gmail back on my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I wasn't talking about using it on cm7.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Flash gapps addon on the cyanogenmod page.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
If you read the instructions, you would know you have to install them separately. There's a link to the flashable gapps in the instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
go to the market and read what it says on that app... "currently not compatible with CM7 kernels." don't tell people to use a potentially (admitted by the creator) broken app just because it didn't break your phone. Follow the written instructions.

install gapps.zip as mentioned in the instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
if you've been following along with the conversation, he's not starting from the recommended kernel and ODIN may be messing up because he isn't using it properly. if using a desktop, plug it into the back of your PC, not the front (or USB hub). and if you want to discuss what the app says, I can quote exactly from the marketplace here: "The cyanogenmod 7 (cm7) is not yet supported - you will get noticed about that by the app."

if he can't use ODIN, I don't want to recommend him doing unapproved things because that makes it FAR MORE LIKELY to make a mistake. also, if he potentially gets an unbooting system and has to reflash a kernel and has never gotten ODIN to work to flash a kernel, there will be no guarantee he'll be able to recover from it.

I don't give out advice like "use other apps" for system critical installation files as it can lead to much more disastrous effects in the long term. please don't continue advising usage of sgs kernel flasher.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
Cog 3.4 ODIN

I havent used SGS KF.

I went back and reflashed the efsbackup. i did a battery pull to get it into recovery mode ( it says Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.3 - voodoo lagfix) and plugged it into ODIN. In Odin I have the kernel set up under PDA and re-partition and auto reboot unchecked. Odin is just saying "setup connection"

If either of you guys have gmail, pls send me your gmail so we can use gchat
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Uhh, do you even know how to use Odin? Recovery mode != Download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you must be in DOWNLOAD mode, not recovery. battery pull, put battery back in, open ODIN on computer, plug in USB to computer, hold VOLUP+VOLDOWN, plug in USB to phone.

though if you don't properly know the difference between recovery and download mode, I recommend holding off flashing this ROM as it is incomplete and could potentially make your phone unusable. I suggest reading on the forum for a while and waiting until you have a more firm grasp of the terminology.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Your right. My bad. I shouldn't suggest a possibly terrible suggestion just because it worked for me. Ill keep my mouth shut in the future regarding stuff like this. Thanks for correcting me ;)
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
oh ****. my fault. ive flashed many times... i attribute my ADD to the game...

thanks either way.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I'm fine with you continuing to help and offering advice, I would just prefer people are capable of following the written instructions so we can come as close as possible to guaranteeing they won't break their phones (and will be able to recover from any potential issues), nothing personal.
[Captivate Android Development] thecrucible:
Someone gave me the solution a few pages back. On an open message rotate your screen to landscape and back to portrait. That fixes it every time for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I get it for sure. I didn't take it personally. I don't wanna be the catalyst for people possibly bricking their phones due to my misleading advice. Ill offer advice only on the things that are in the instructions. Again thanks for correcting me and keeping me on my toes.

You wouldn't be from Oregon by chance?
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
mmm

Ok I must be blind but I dont see that link or files
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
nope, never been out that far northwest. been to california, but most of my life ie east coast and Texas.

as for the gmail info noted above, running a build from a little over a day ago now and the "white space bug" doesn't seem to be there anymore
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Its at the bottom of the page. Its Google Apps addon. Gapps.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Oh I saw the 541 in your name. That's an area code for Oregon
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
possible since it's listed about 2/3rd's down the page on this post: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/

under the "downloads" section
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
541 is just a number I pulled out of my ass when I was maybe 5 or 6 and needed to create a username for some site. stuck with me ever since

[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
yea. its done. ****in nuts. cant believe i goofed it up that bad... damn March Madness.

thanks guys, seriously. im supposed to fly out at 4am so things were getting hectic.

FYI: the google settings restore is crazy... all the apps are reinstalling automagically.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
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.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Huh?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I'm running a build from after that one, which is why I didn't say "the latest nightly" just "from a day or so ago"

oops, I accidentally thanked you trying to quote you :P

we're gonna need a lot more information than "phone turned off"... logcat or last_kmsg or it didn't happen.
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
are there any sound fix and video player apk in market ?

I want to increase ring tone is it possible ? and I dont watching avi mp4 files can anyone suggest me a good video player?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Wrong section....

Just look around on the market or something or browse the themes and apps section. This is not dev related.

Go cm settings and turn up the db on ringtones....done
[Captivate Android Development] okstate707:
Ok, Im loving this ROM, but Im having a problem. I cant get my microSD card to show up. When I go to gallery, all of my photos are there, but none of my videos are. And when I go into my file explorer, i have no external sd card listed. And when I mount the phone to my computer with the cable, i cant see the second sd card, only the one built into the phone.

I know the files are there because when i put the microSD card into the reguler sd card adapter and put it into my computer, everything is there.

Is this a bug in CM7 or is there something Im missing?
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Read the known issues on cyanogenmod page before posting

Simple answer. The nexus s doesn't have external Sd and since cm7 is based off nexus s source its not going to register your external sd card.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Damn I'm glad you got it all straightened out. Enjoy the CM7 goodness!!!

Sorry if I confused you with anything
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
Photo Storage Location

is there any way to change it from phone to emmc? I dont see the option in the camera or gallery apps.

Im extremely happy to see a way to turn off GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
There is the Voodoo Control app, but you will need a Voodod supporting kernel to use it, such as Kang's (check OP). Also, I noticed someone else who had notification problems and recommended going into CyanogenMod Settings in the settings menu and change notification settings to 0 dB.

Also, I personally prefer MixZing for videos, I have a few mobile bluray rips and it runs them perfectly, as well as everything else I use.
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
What is wrong ? I was watched any videos on 2.2.1 and now I dont watching them on cm7 it say this video cannot open.. so I think you are wrong section!!
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
No this is DEVELOPMENT not Q&A or themes and apps. And your grammar is terrible

This rom is still in beta and is not finished there are still bugs. And vidoes work fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
This thread is a lightning rod
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
I have changed to 0 but I havent seen any different , actually notification sound istn matter because it working alltime, I just want to increase ring tone.. and thanks your suggest about mixzing

Where do i look to see what bugs ot features are currently not working in cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
OP?
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Hmmm lets see. Maybe the OP or the cyanogen site under known issues. Just 2 off the top of my head... was that a serious question?

There isn't a build for the epic if that's what your asking...
[Captivate Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
Yea well im looking and i just see updates on what bugs were fixed. Im trying to figure out if gps,mms,sms, and etc works.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yes, but not for epic. epic uses the old froyo kernel (which is bleh in comparison)
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
Ya they work. But there isn't a build for your epic 4g
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
Now we are belittling people because English isn't their first language? Nice run-on sentence by the way.
[Captivate Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
There is actually an unofficial build in the works but im posting from my epic4g asking about the captivate. Which im about to load cm7 on if most of the main features work.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the epic 4g build has literally NOTHING to do with the GSM team's builds. GSM = teamhacksung, epic = EpicCM (list of bugs and working features are VERY different, if you want to know what works, go read the thread for the epic, as these two releases have literally nothing in common)
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
There was no belittling at all. I was having a hard time reading and figuring out how to help him.

No disrespect intended
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Kaik, he already said he's asking about his captivate, and just happens to be posting from his Epic.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
@.@ you're right, my bad... been having an awful day trying to read. ignore my post... stupid bad sleep cycle...

I blame it on the news that AT&T is gobbling up TMobile
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
The captivates build is pretty stable in my opinion. Been running it for 2 weeks. I haven't encountered a problem yet.
