Hello,

The post that I used to download was this thread, which I don't see any information for how to do it, so I click a link that I saw which put me on CM website forum which this thread says is not up to date. I also ask only because I am already coming from a CM version that is ext4 filesystem and I was not sure fully on the kernel to use as in this thread it says don't use voodo sound kernel but the direction likes to a speedmod with vodooo snd. If you could please assist I would be thankful.

God Bless,

Christopher

I don't know what you guys did, but putting apps into system/app works perfectly now. Very pleased to see miui and my modded last.fm working after the update. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the very first post has a link which takes you to the cyanogenmod.com forums, which has links (to sourceforge) to the files you downloaded. that is the only post you should be referencing, if you are incapable of reading the entire first post (which has a link for you to follow with instructions) then you should not flash this to your device. I have no idea what you're referring to about the "not up to date" post, as the only linked post is completely up to date.

you must follow THOSE EXACT instructions, the same ones every one else has had to follow. we will not baby you through this process, as if you are incapable of figuring it out on your own, the ROM is not ready for your usage.

this isn't MIUI.
[Captivate Android Development] Thnikk:
Oops, I meant to say miui music, sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
so did the last nightly fix the external sd card mount issue?
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
The only issue I got here was "process.phone.android is not working" resulting in constant force closing (phone isn't picking up signal for some reason). I don't know if it has to deal with the process of that, but re-flashing the update normally (via the update instructions) doesn't fix it.

Looks like I'm going to have to re-flash CM7 from scratch :(
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Wipe data/factory reset usually fixes it.

[Captivate Android Development] jbinc:
I second that, external card fix and battery improvements. Other than that, pretty fine!

Thank you for our hard work!!
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
You still can't see it/mount it from USB, but you can mount it/format it, etc from within the settings, storage options now.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
just flashed latest update 04022011 and in my about phone section, the MOD version still says 03292011 nightly. Did something go wrong. If im not mistaken, it should be up to date, correct?

*EDIT* reflashing.. don't think i did this, but after thinking about it, I suppose it's possible i miss-selected the right update.

*another edit* So, reflashed latest update, and still have 3/29 in my mod version. :eek: Any ideas whats up?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
It should be showing 04/02 nightly. Did you try downloading that upgrade file again just in case?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Nope.. bout to. Gonna delete the file that i have and try again;) Thanks for confirming that it does indeed say 04022011...:rolleyes:

EDIT.. wow. and my keyboard is gone with that flash.. crazy. DL'ing again.

AND ANOTHER** all good in the hood. Downloaded from a different link, re flashed.. all is good. :)

Rogers HSDPA?

So, I'm a Rogers user wondering what happened to my HSPA, I'm stuck on UMTS and the service codes don't work so I can't see what band I'm on. I'm using the T959TLJL3 modem and the Trident kernel. I've looked around but there's not much info. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
HSPA works here, but I rarely get the "h" symbol.

Edit: I should mention I'm using an i896 on rogers as well.

[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I'm just curious, but with this patch has anyone tried accessing the emmc folder via Droid Explorer? I wondered if that would work, given that it acts like a Windows Explorer to your Android phone.

Also, has anyone had any issue with certain high defintion files? I have some HD shows that I downloaded and they are in .mkv format. Prior to CM7, I could watch them fine on Perception with MixZing, but now they don't run at all. I also seem to get the similar error (The video could not be played) when watching dailymotion videos in any browser. Anybody have any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
MKV support is part of Samsung's kernel and TouchWiz ROM's. You won't find it in CM.
[Captivate Android Development] bptba93:
After applying the most recently nightly (4/02) my phone simply hangs at the AT&T World Phone screen. Is it a bad flash? I've had this problem before and had to reflash everything all over.
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
I never do and I believe it's only an issue for us Canadians. Is there a solution for this?
[Captivate Android Development] autoreiv:
What modem are you using?

I get anywhere between, .8 - 1.8mbs DL and 1 - 1.4mbs UP on UMTS.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
I have never gotten the H symbol since I threw on CM7 either but there definitely hasn't been any speed decrease as a result. I go as fast, if not faster than I did when I got the H symbol in 2.2 ROMs. I don't think there needs to be a "fix" for it as its just aesthetics.

Just go check out your speeds in the Speed Test app. I do it regularly and my speeds are equivalent to before.
[Captivate Android Development] sweets11:
Does that mean hardware support is also not available?

On CM7 I tried some simple xvid movies which were a bit jittery. 720p x264 was unwatchable.

On 2.2, all media worked perfectly, I couldnt believe the difference HW decoding had.

Also are the camera problems fixed in the latest builds?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Try mobo player...works amazingly good for me.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
The hardware is obviously still there, there is just no drivers/support for it in the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
I haven't gone through the whole thread yet, but could someone please refresh me how to access my external sd card.

Edit : i found it
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Is there a way to make the Audible Selection (the sound from touching menus and buttons) independent from the Media Volume? There is no slider for the Audible Selection but I discovered that it is connected to the Media Volume which is a bit of a nuisance.

When I view a YouTube video or play music, sometimes I pump it really high and it's annoying that the audible selections are loud as hell as well. Especially when you exit YouTube or the Music player and forget to change the volume back to normal which would mean the audible selection volume is high until you go into Settings and turn it low again.

Same issue when I pump it lower.

It's a small issue but I think it's worth looking at. If that's how the Nexus S does it then I guess I'll live with it.

Thanks. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
if you want something like this, you'd have to go over teamhacksung's head and discuss it with the cyanogenmod team (either by requesting an enhancement or submitting code to gerrit review). this is not within the scope of what the CMSGS Team is trying to accomplish.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
-_- Curses. Now I will have to find something else to watch while away from home. I know that its not the best idea to bother about features, but is it possible to integrate that somehow? Especially since this ROM is at least partially based off of Samsung's Nexus S (if I'm not mistaken). Just curious.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You better read as you are enteing dangerous areas...this has been explained a million times...it is not hapenning.

Good thing I only watch old tv series like Remington Steele but yeah no hardware support for video is the only thing I really miss...everything else is so much better in CM7
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the only thing remotely based off of the Nexus S in this ROM is the kernel... and forgive me if I'm mistaken, but AOSP doesn't support 720p playback of either the mkv container or avi, so the nexus s doesn't either. hardware acceleration *may* be possible, but very very very low on the list of priorities.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Not sure if this would help you or not but I had some videos of my kids that I records while on a Samsung 2.2 rom. Well it wouldn't play at all. I decided to try to change the name to a .mp4 and now I am able to watch them now.

Was sending regular text messages today and the MMS app crashed or something, and I lost all my text messages. Not sure what happened to cause that, but yeah..

Kind of weird.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
I just tried to see if my phone was unlocked by entering *#7465625# at the dialer - something I've been able to do on Eclair and Froyo with no issues. On CM7 nothing happened. Is this expected behavior?

If so, are there a list of codes that still work?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Been discussed many times.. use the search box and search the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Seriously? I'm not even sure what to do with this knowledge.

I expected as such, which is one reason that I was somewhat hesitant to mention it. This does pose a significant problem for me though.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
we'll be sure to take that under advisement with the plethora of information you provided (such as the logcat you attached) and for opening a bug in the issue tracker so that this could be viewed by the devs to get actively fixed...

/sarcasm

this is *NOT* a samsung ROM... for the last time, samsung's dialer codes will not work in AOSP/CM7... on top of that, this ROM will not affect unlock status.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Each time I try to search at night it tells me to wait 20 minutes, and the time I tried prior to posting my question was no different.

I'll decode your sarcasm and assume it's normal. You could have very easily just said that, considering the instability this site has experienced in the last week - especially with the search functionality.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Even with the possibility of walking further into a dangerous area, I would like to suggest that the media situation be added to the "issues" list that used to be on the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you mean like how it's already included in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982776 which is linked to in the OP and states an already known issue with mkv and avi files...?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Sorry, I checked the OP before making that post, but didn't see anything that specifically linked to the issues list, just the instructions. I will have to see if I can find an alternative option.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it isn't the issues list, it's the FAQ and if you haven't read it, you should. that goes for everyone... it's linked in the OP saying to read the FAQ before posting any questions or comments or complaints to see if it's already known...
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, I will do that. Hopefully I will be able to workout an alternative (preferably one that doesn't result in my CPU reaching max temp) or I might as well look into uninstalling the video player.

Sorry again for bothering.

EDIT: I have gone through the FAQ thread and I guess that MixZing is more the problem than this ROM. I will try Mobiplayer or RockPlayer (hopefully it works better now) and see.
[Captivate Android Development] grizzfu:
Im pretty new here but honestly do you have to be a complete ****? Couldent you just try to help without that. And if not just don't reply! Its not that hard.. this is where and why boards like this go wrong. We are all here for the same thing and its not to be rude. I recommend this site to all my friends and co-workers if this continues I will not do that anymore. This is all my outlook nobody elses.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
It could be because people on this site love having everything spoon fed to them without doing just a *little* bit of research themselves. All the resources are here and the answers to 90% of these questions can be found if people would just put a little effort into it.

Nothing is more frustrating than having a question that is already addressed plain and simple in the OP or in the Q&A. Even if it isn't there, reading a few of these pages would probably cover the rest of it.
[Captivate Android Development] xredjokerx:
Honestly, if everyone you recommend is going to come in and start flooding the threads with questions that have been repeated OVER AND OVER AND OVER again and they don't know how to use the search tool.. then it'd probably be better if you DIDN'T invite them to come. Sorry to say, but this forum gets a new thread a day about "BRICKED CAPPY! WHY~~" or "WHY IS THIS NOT WORKING??" (because you didn't read the OP. or SEARCH)

The community goes wrong when people don't read, too.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I truly am sorry that I even brought this up. I don't expect to have anything fed to me, I just hadn't come across the file issues during my reading on this thread. I honestly did not realize that the FAQ refernce on the OP was a link.

Again, I am sorry for creating so much fuss over a single question.
[Captivate Android Development] grizzfu:
Point taken. But the negativity is useless and down right rude! People are still going to ask pre-answered questions. We as a species are relatively lazy if it can be spoonfed there going to try. Like I said if you can't be nice could you just not reply. Or perhaps be a positive influence?? Kids read this regularly as well and personally if I were a kid id like a positive push in the right direction in the search for knowledge. Not some guy being rude. Once again this is just my opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I have been plenty nice across this thread (go read the first 200 pages of it if you don't believe me), my problem is with people not reading the OP, the FAQ, or the instructions. when a question that is asked has already been addressed, I get annoyed... and if people expect to be spoonfed, then they should expect to be admonished for such laziness (that's also part of human nature, in case you forget).

my advice has always been to search, read, and then read some more... if that is beyond your comprehension level, then don't flash this to your device was my only point.
[Captivate Android Development] grizzfu:
Subject dropped I really can't argue with that as I get annoyed occasionally with 2 kids under 3 and a wife it happens. I just try and keep the negativity to a minimum so you can understand my concern.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I find it amazing that the very same people who are given a functional and for the most part, awesome release of Gingerbread for their Captivate are the same people who are acting like asses to the OP and others.

Read, read more, read even more, read some more, read a bit more, click some links to more reading, then follow another link or 10 to some more reading. The search feature does work also.

Thanks to the entire team for your hard work on this. I, for one, truly appreciate it. To the senseless dinks who keep *****ing and whining, don't look the gift horse in the mouth. You have what you should not have.. be happy and appreciate the work that goes into it.

[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Here's an actual question:

Anyone have success making gps reliable? I'm running an 896 captivate on rogers, have tried jk4, jl2, and jl3. Sometimes I can get a 10m lock, usually 30-40m, but often no lock after 30+ seconds. Even if I get one, it gets lost or jumps around wildly when I move.

any suggestions? Thought about trying some of the various gps fixes provided by sgs tools and such but I don't know if they apply to gingerbread/cm7.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
You need to keep in mind that these developers aren't here to be a positive influence. They are not Samsung and you can't expect the "customer service" attitude because they do this out of their own time and owe nothing to you. As they don't make a penny from this (unless you give an optional donation), all they ask from you is to at least make their job a tiny bit easier by not being lazy.

You are given something for free that greatly enhances your phone and all they ask is that you don't be lazy. Human nature also dictates that people are more generous and more supportive if they are given something for free as well.

And believe it or not, sometimes negativity is warranted. If it scares those people that don't know what they are doing away, then it helps keep this thread clean of senseless clutter. Then, hopefully these people decide to do some research instead and lose their sense of entitlement which would get rid of that spoon-fed mentality.

This is XDA where people should have a certain tech savvyness and at the very least, the ability to follow instructions. This isn't a kids community where everyone is having their hands held.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
hahaha dont get me started...I will say this only once...there is another series I love...super guilty pleasure....Man From Atlantis! :eek: But yeah I am on Season 3 of Remington Steel and approaching the end to soon I am afraid :o

I am hopinh at some point there is some kind of add on like gapps for hardware video playback.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Back on topic.

I don't think there is anything you can do right now. Hopefully when they fix the compass that the GPS would be a bit more functional. As it is, however, I don't think it's that bad. Probably equivalent to 2.2 ROMs at the least.
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
here. dont ask where i found it, i honestly dont remember

Hey great work! I was wondering if the kernel for CM has voodoo sound?
[Captivate Android Development] flucks:
This may be a dumb question, but where do I find captivate-efsbackup.zip?
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Inside the initial package zip there are two more zips. One being CM and the other being the efsbackup

FIRST TIME FLASHING CM7 TO YOUR SGH-I897:

Make sure your phone is fully charged! Update process will take some time.

Make sure there's enough free space at your internal sdcard (200MB)

If you are running a Samsung ROM and have disabled HDSPA using the magic dialer code, you have to enable it before you flash CM otherwise you won't be able to activate HDSPA on CM again.

Download the initial package: cm7-captivate-initial-package-xxxxxxxx-xx.zip (link below)

Download the 850MHz-modems.zip (link below)

Extract these two zips

Copy following files to your internal sdcard

- captivate-efsbackup.zip

- cm7-captivate-initial-XXXXXXXX-XX.zip

- cm7-captivate-radio-XXX.zip (pick the one you want from the extracted 850Mhz-modems.zip, I use JK4)
[Captivate Android Development] Konner920:
Thanks! Now the kernel is there :P
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Nice atinm. I'm even gonna pull your update zip and throw it on mine since my Linux environment died and I haven't had a chance to rebuild it, so I haven't built since before the 2.3.3 merge. Hopefully I can get a chance to set everything back up this weekend.
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
Voodoo sound is not a part of Cyanogenmod.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
In the instructions it says:

For those who have tried this already, what kernel are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] Konner920:
Wow, this runs quite well. I've had it up for about 30 minutes, and happily with Wifi sleep on never, It doesn't reboot on me. I have a feeling Im going to enjoy using this.

Thanks for all your hardwork getting this done for the Captivate. It's great getting our own version of CM. It's coming along well, and I'm highly impressed with it all. Gingerbread + Galaxy S = <3

For some reason I keep booting into CW recovery with a message stating E: no misc partition.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Coolya didn't create a miscellaneous partition when he wrote the mtd driver. Its a non-issue. As for continually booting into recovery, try flashing back to stock and reflashing the initial package.

Edit: make sure you flash a proper kernel first, forgot to mention that.
[Captivate Android Development] navytron:
Agreed. Thank you all for your hard work!

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
im having a lot of various issues with any programs connected to the internet

starting with the most serious:

-XDA just...doesn't load

-on 3G (JK4), the app market doesnt load....but if i go into appbrain it works fine and if i got to the market FROM appbrain it will load just fine

Also:

-DSPmanager's dynamic range compression (on every setting) makes the sound distorted and sound like the volume is on full-blast.

-DSPmanager's eqaulizer's sound quality is just not up to par with voodoo or galaxy tuner

-galaxy tuner does not recognize phone as galaxy S (obviously something he needs to fix)

everything else is just random reboots and external SD related.
