[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Did you try typing lowercase.. "df"?

Try that. I get same message if I use capital letters.

hello guys i gotta question... is there a way to reset my wifi setting without doing a data wipe?.. I tried re-flashing the nightly update both 4-01 and 4-12, i tried wiping cache and dalvik. also tried reflashing different modems

my problem is when i use wifi I get stuck with obtaining IP address and stops there.. i tried connecting to 4 different wifis with no luck... library, school, home and my sister's place.

also is there a way to use 2g to save battery without messing up the modem. every time i tried using 2g (on 04-02-2011 nightly update, i haven't tried it with 04-12-2011 because i dont wanna do data wipe again) would be fine for few hours then i lose reception.. and i'm not able to get any reception and I get multiple FC every minute, untill I perform a data wipe and dalvik wipe.

any help would be appreciated thanks guy\

john.. this ROM is awesome!!!!

For everyone posting complaints, take it easy on these guys. They are volunteering their time to do this. No one owes you a perfect ROM other than AT&T. Besides, this isn't intended to be used as a daily driver just yet. Give them time, they'll worki it out.
[Captivate Android Development] jbinc:
you'll need to get your cappy unbricked before you can do anything now.

I used this video, it works 100%, fairly easy to do.

After that make sure you have the PIT file as well when using ODIN 3 and make sure re-partition and auto0reboot are both unchecked, or once you unbrick and get to download mode, just use Odin 1 click to get back to cappy stock and update from there.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Anyone try the new update?
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
I'm using it. Runs fine. I don't have the problems I was having with mounting by usb. Also, the little stutter i was having from the notification pulldown is gone.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
No issues here either.

You're right the stutter in the pulldown is gone. Didn't notice.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:

When flashing from start use cm7-captivate-initial-20110318.zip ?

Ive flashed cm7 three times...got a new captivate and want to try it out again.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes that is the newest initial you need to use.
[Captivate Android Development] Palmetto_X:
Running newest update. Runs perfect, no problems now. Only aggravation was the notification drop down dragging and this update fixed it.

[Captivate Android Development] Lencias:
Hey, guys, haven't installed this yet, but I was looking through the bug list, and... is audio quality/functionality (music and even phone calls) with a bluetooth headset as bad as the buglist makes it look? Listening to music's a huge part of my day-to-day life, I have a bluetooth headset hooked up most of the time, and I'm going to hold off on installing this if it is.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
CM7 is amazing.

Ugh. I want to go back to CM7 so bad. I had it a few weeks ago and it was the best experience my phone ever had.

The only thing keeping me away from CM7 is the camera.

Having to go back to 2.2 rom just for the camera saddened me deeply (no offence to the developers). And don't take this as a complaint, CMSGS team. I just love CM7 so much that it upsets me greatly when I have to go back to 2.2. :)

Keep up the great work. You guys are amazing. :)

Running really very well all this week for a Beta - thanks team.

Just flashed latest update and the whole phone feels snappier to me. UI more responsive, notification pulldown has no lag anymore, and wifi / KC1 modem working best it has over the past few hours. Very pleased....

Still need to test GPS some more.

Love this ROM.

[Captivate Android Development] oxlong27:
very pleased as well. with the new update i have the best signal strength ive ever had (not 3g regular signal) with the other versions i had a lot of trouble with inaccurate signal readings. i have flashed many of the updates but this one seemed to fix it. what happened? do the new wifi drivers have something to do with it? sorry if thats a dumb question just trying to learn. also if i flash a different kernel will it mess this up and give me signal problems again? thanks. p.s. only ever had signal problems in low signal areas (my house) in good coverage area i never had a problem
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
probably just fixes upstream.

AND BEFORE ANYONE ASKS

we are already aware of the potential release of Samsung GingerBread through the KIES software for i9000 (JVB). this binary release does not help us! what it does mean is that the source will likely drop within the next week, which we *CAN* use.

please, no questions about using the new Samsung release, binary packages do not help us.
[Captivate Android Development] oxlong27:
so flashing another kernel would not break this? by the way thank you for dealing with all our stupid questions i would not have the patience to do what u, tek, atin and the others do. u guys have been a blessing bringing this to us and answering our endless repetetive questions. i would certainly like to donate but to who? atin doesnt take them (already an organ donor) and i dont see a donate link by your name. thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
another kernel *shouldn't* break it, but I can't say for certain as I don't use any of them. I also don't take donations (I suggest organ donor or helping me get more dropbox space, as you can see in my signature).

[Captivate Android Development] jbinc:
what is the latest update? I flashed CM7 initial-03182011 and went back to cognition 4.3 rom cause if the zoom issues in the camera as well as the lack of external sd support.

thx!
[Captivate Android Development] nathanjones:
There are links on page one to the latest update. The one you mentioned is way out of date. External SD card is working now just fine.

I've got a 16Gb external card in my phone, and way back before CM7, I decided to use the external one for 'permanent' music, stuff that I'll never change and I'll always want on there, and I figured I'd use the internal for temporary stuff that I'll change often. That was a lucky decision on my part since once moving to CM7 I hadn't had access to the External card (without actually physically removing it). So it's not really bothered me.

Anyway, I've been using CM7 since at least before the update you mentioned, and while it does have it's quirks once in a while, I personally find no problem using it as my main phone.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Initial is only to convert your system to CM7. After flashing initial, always go to the latest update as that is the only one that is being updated for each bug fix/feature - the initial install is still at 03182011 because it isn't needed after the first install as everyone moves to the latest update right after flashing the initial, to get the latest version of CM7 for SGS phones.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
landscape rotation is a feature of the launcher (which the default launcher is ADW, which supports autorotation). not sure exactly what you're looking for?

I am having the same problem as that poster. I will go into a little more detail. Here are the files I am using:

captivate-efsbackup

cm7-captivate-initial-20110318

cm7-captivate-initial-kernel

update-cm-7-04152011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed

Procedure:

1. Flash to stock JF6

2. Flash speedmod and efsbackup

3. Flash initial kernel

4. Flash initial ROM

5. Reboot into CM7 and then boot back to recovery

6. Flash NIGHTLY

No matter what I do here... I have the same problem, every time I boot, I receive the welcome screen and even before I flash the nightly... I can not receive texts. I have tried multiple kernels and modems and still no luck. **NOTE** I have no problem sending texts and I can also use data so it doesn't appear to be an issue w/ any other data, just texting.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
There are data/cache wiping steps after the kernel flash and factory reset/wipe steps after the initial flash. Did you do those?

Flashing to stock is not necessary.
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
I am pretty sure I did. I will give it another go there. Also, do I need to wipe anything before flashing the NIGHTLY?

EDIT: Guess I am the idiot. It seems I wasn't formatting something when I should have been. I could have sworn I was.. oh well, it works great now. THANK YOU!!!
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
It appears that the official Gingerbread is on it's way.

What does this mean for your project?

Which kernel seems to give the best results for CM7 on a Cappy? I'm using Trident #30 now, but just looking to improve. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I switch between Trident and the Escapists kernel. Been using the Escapists for a little while now. Seems more stable at 1400hz and I'm diggen that! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Sarcoid:
I use Escapists. I get confused with Trident and Javelin and Trollin' because the files aren't dated or version tagged and the thread title never changes. I never know when there's something new. There are automated nightlies but I'm not sure if there's ever anything new because those zips aren't named with the date or version either. Plus, I believe ytt3r is busy with personal stuff and hasn't had time to do any development.

The Platypus kernel is worth trying as well but you have to replace CMParts.apk if you want customization with the LED notifications. So it's a bit more work flashing it. Plus, I don't know if autorotation is still buggy or not. There's a workaround posted. I've just been satisfied using Escapists so I haven't bothered trying it again.

To CyanogenMod or not?

I just came from winmo a few months ago so sorry for the newbieness. i Just want peoples opinions is Cyanogenmod stable enough to use as an everyday rom? I know the pros but what are the cons of using this instead a 2.2 rom?
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
I've been using it as my daily driver for about a month now - only thing I don't like is the camera - but that's a very small issue compared to the smoothness. Honestly after going Gingerbread I have only once thought about going back to Froyo - and that was for the latest Cognition.

Rom manager

I have looked thru other posts but there are so many pages so I am sorry if I missed this question. I am trying to flash the latest update but when I try to use ROM Manager instead of going into recovery to pick the update it reboots completely. Is there a way to get it to work right? I like CM 7 and keep up the good work.
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
Read the OP. You need to use the 3button method. The menu option doesn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
You cannot use rom manager to flash ANYTHING of CM7. You will and can only go into recovery and flash it through there, that is why they say to MAKE SURE you have three button recovery working. Since you cannot use the extended power menu or anything else to get you into recovery. Just follow the instructions from the OP on how to flash anything or you will definately mess things up trying to use any app or program for flashing stuff. Also on the site where you get the updates from there is specific directions for updating to the latest nightly.

ROM Manager

Thanks. I didn't use ROM Manager initially but I did read the instructions and I could have sworn it said CWM could be used to flash the update. Must have misread. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
CWM != Rom Manager.
[Captivate Android Development] jpcdeux:
Completed all the instructions, why will it only reboot back into orange recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Stumped?

Well I've been running this since it was released with no issue, I was playing around with Escapist kernel and I locked up a few time trying to OC too much. Anyways I lost all video, youtube and camera viewing capabilities, no big I just flashed to stock and redid the CM7 flashing process again. I still have no video,youtube or camera viewing. they all work as I can here the videos on youtube and my movies and I can take pictures and they save and then I can view them in the gallery I just can not see any during the actual use of the programs. I check when I was back on stock and they worked fine. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I have had this in the past where the camera doesn't seem to be working, just a black screen so you can't see what you are taking a pic of but it does take the picture. It seems to fix itself sometimes after I took a few random pics or sometimes after a reboot. I haven't had issues with your other issues though. Maybe a dumb question but have you rebooted and or went into recovery and cleared cache? Sometimes that has helped after flashing a kernel for me. If your on escapist kernel still are you uv'ing at all/too much? Just trlhrowing out some ideas here. I am sure one of the CM7 team may help you out further and may need some kind of log file to see what is going on. Another thing I do now when flashing kernels is to flash it twice before exiting out of recovery, maybe it has no effect but I haven't had a bad flash since doing so.

[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yeah I tried clearing all cache, factory reset and redid the whole CM7 flash process and I still have the issue using the stock kernel and ROM with nothing restored or added. I'm stumped as to what I need to do to fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no logs, didn't happen.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I can get logs but when should I get them? Start a video and then get a log? Start the camera then get a log? Which logs should I get?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
sounds related to codecs (odd that no one else is experiencing it) best to open bug reports of each on the issue tracker and provide logs for each.

i.e. fresh boot, sleep the screen, wake the screen, run app (logcat entire process)... reboot do same for next app
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Okay will do tomorrow as I have flashed to Cog 4 for now. I will flash back to CM7 and run the logcats after each event. Should I get any other log files?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
dmesg couldn't hurt
[Captivate Android Development] coolren:

i removed the camera using titanium backup. installed the camera.apk from the miui thread. that di'nt work the first time, but did it again and also flashd the platipus kernal and it started working again.
[Captivate Android Development] golfslicer:
This rom is great with a lot of new features, however one big problem, the battery drains way to quick. Charged phone to 95% all night, took off charger and with no use down to 85% in 1.5 hours with no use whatsoever. Froyo 2.2 charges fully and would still be at 99 - 100 percent with no use. At this rate, it wouldn't get me through a 9 hour work day not including travel time. Sadly, it looks like I will have to go back to Froyo 2.2 Fusion Rom. It looks like Stanby uses 47% of the battery. I searched the internet and it appears that Gingerbread has a battery problem on other phones also. I cannot even charge the phone powered down since as soon as it it plugged in, it starts up. Weird.
[Captivate Android Development] golfslicer:
Update, I flashed back to Fusion 1.8 and my battery is fully charged at 100%. Is possibly the battery meter with this rom not detecting correctly a bug? Seems weird being at 85% and then going back to Fusion and already at 100%.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Its not a bug and has been mentioned many times over.

Sent from my CM7 powered captivate
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Obviously Fusion would show 100%! It runs on NUCLEAR POWER!

I couldn't help as not only the battery drain is a known issue the difference in percentages is also know (of course that 85 to 100 is a lot but still...)

CM7 comes with the T-Mobile Theme Chooser app. You can dl several different themes from the Android Theme's section (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527). If the title has a [CM7] or [Theme Chooser] tag then you just dl the .apk and apply it through theme chooser. Most of the themes there support hdpi but a few don't.

Also, the dock buttons scroll, just like the app drawer. and there's nothing on the other "views", so if you accidentally flick upwards on the app drawer button, it rotates up to a blank dock.
