Basicly what it boils down to, is if you install too many apps internally, you run the risk of filling up the /data/data partition with the apps data. To work around it you can only install the apps you need, or install as much as possible to the sdcard. I've written a guide on how to reclaim space from the data partition so you can use it as part of the sdcard and not have nearly a gig sitting unused. Just check my past posts, it should be in there somewhere. That's the way I'd recommend going, as moving datadata to the larger data partition bogs the system down quite a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Any Aries-series modem will do for that; they're significantly better than the normal ones. T959TLJL3 is an Aries modem; I'd recommend you try UGJK3, UGJK4, UGJL2, UGKC1 or UGKG3. Right now, I'm on KG3 and it's probably the best it's been.

I've had really good luck with tjjjv5 in my area. It switches between 850 and 1900 smoothly and was noticibly quicker than the stock jl3. Your milage may vary as some phones and parts of the country seem to do better with different modems.

Just have one issue. Battery never goes to 100 Percent, which I am thinking is my own fault at not flashing it at full battery?

[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
No, I am not sure (I don't own a car dock and have never dug into it). But my understanding is that the car dock is not "just basic USB audio out." I think that a with an actual Samsung 2.2 ROM, the car dock is recognized as an actual "device" and it causes the phone to go into car mode and launch the Samsung car dock app. The car dock app depends on TW, but as I said, I don't know a lot about it and it could be that "basic USB audio out" functionality could be implemented without full car dock support. Full car dock support will not work without a Samsung ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I will try to hold onto hope for when things settle down. CM7 already properly kicks off car home properly in the dock... this is just a power pin in the connector to distinguish between the desk app and the car app. And if this didn't work, I would not care. But it already does.

It is just the audio out portion, which did not work on Samsung Roms either, until Xcal dug into the Rogers 2.2 release. It still only barely works on Samsung ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
I am thinking of doing this ROM today. Charging my phone right now for it. Should I not be using Titanium Backup?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
The Captivate car dock did not work until there was a Captivate Froyo ROM to extract the source from. I have read that the car dock also works fine on the AT&T KB1 ROM and cooked ROMs based on it. If the car dock app works on CM7, then perhaps it is not linked to TW (which would make it one of only a few Samsung Apps that are not linked to TW).
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Titanium is fine. No system data. None

Good luck, hopefully it is easy to get working!

I heard you were looking into getting the N1 audience drivers working too, any progress? I'd really like to use CM, but my rev 1007 Captivate doesn't seem to like i9000 modems...I may try anyway tho... I want CM7 so bad that I am willing to seek out a free wifi hotspot or enable ICS on my laptop so I can re-download my apps (I am roaming in Europe right now).

edit: I am not asking for any ETA's, just whether you have had time to look into it and whether or not it may be possible. If you know Audience support is not possible, I'd rather hear it now...
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Not yet - but I am basically just working on sound right now so it'll happen. Trying to get headset to work reliably first as that is the easiest given that xcaliburinhand has already done some of it so it is partially working (for me, it might be working for him and I'll just be able to pull from him).
[Captivate Android Development] sturgeon123456:
I would like to make a suggestion. If you are experiencing bugs that are not posted on the main page:

A) search this thread for your issue and read

B) re-install the rom following the steps on page 1

I am starting to feel really bad for the op and cm7 team having to answer the same questions over and over.

Also if you take the time to read this entire thread you might learn something.

[Captivate Android Development] 105437:
When I flash a nightly with ROM Manager and want to keep the most recent Gapps that I have installed how do I do that? It seems if I deselect "Install Google Apps" I have to reinstall Gapps and set everything back up.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
That's strange, I never had to do that when I deselect Google apps.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
If you want to keep your installed gapps, you should flash through CWM Recovery instead of ROM Manager. At least that is the "safest" way to do it.

Does anyone know where the changelogs for Nightlies can be found?

The answer may be simple, but I can't find it.

So it appears that ROM Manager is flawed in this respect since it doesn't install the latest Gapps when you select it to install Google apps?

[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Was referring more directly to any possible improvement in the management of said capacity. Seemed to indicate cache management to prevent maxing out capacity. The description wasn't crystal clear to me how it might positively impact the samsung phones. Seemed like more of an after thought.

Well...I added it to a fresh captivate kang earlier, but it doesn't really impact any of the devices that I actually own/use. If anyone wants to take it for a drive, PM me, and I'll link it. Also has multiple other picks, including miui battery, dialpad layout fix, ADW faster looping & icon restore fix, unlock with middle ring, and a few other cherry picks.

If the /data/data monitor is thought to be of use, I'd be happy to +1 it and try to help get it merged. I'm just not in a position to provide direct feedback, myself.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
It might help some, yes. It just depends on the number of apps you use. /datadata will still be able to fill up, but it will be managed better if the addition works as intended.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
I figured I'd simply make it available and let actual device owners decide if it really works. Honestly wasn't sure if the mods even wanted any kang talk in here at all.
[Captivate Android Development] bveditz:
I tested the KK1 modem on CM7. Its about on par with the KJ series modems, decent download (1-2.5m) but bad uploads (.3m) and decent GPS (avg 8-10 sats with 30-45ft). However, as with all the at&t i897 based modems i've tried with CM7, the call quality (for the person on the other end) is really bad so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who uses their phone to call people. :)
[Captivate Android Development] bveditz:
Threw together a JVT modem for CM7 since I couldn't find one. Audio quality seems really good as does the transfer speeds. But, it's night here, so who knows on the transfer speeds. I haven't tried GPS. Maybe a few others could test, but so far it's one of the better modems i've come across under cm7.

So guys is anyone using a 32GB card without issues? I am about to order one and want to make sure.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] CFoote:
Are any Captivate owners out there having issue with connecting to a cell tower from a data standpoint? My phone is able to send/receive text messages and phone calls without issue, but on occasion it will not connect and send/receive data. I get 5 grey bars with either 3G or H (not green bars which usually means data is working). The phone also has a hard time connecting to my AT&T Microcell (which I know is buggy, but its same issue). Again, grey bars -- I can send/receive txts and phone calls, but thats it.

I've tried rebooting, airplane mode (multiple times), I just have to try and wait for the phone to fix itself.

Is there another modem folks might recommend I try? This is frustrating as losing data capability is becoming difficult.

Otherwise I love CM7. I'm running a mid-October nightly build.

Thanks,

Chris
[Captivate Android Development] ColonyDude:
I have never been able to get a 32GB card to work on MIUI or CyanogenMod. My card is a Sandisk Class 4 32GB sd card. It works just fine on i900 and Captivate ROMs. I wish the CyanogenMod team would work on getting 32GB cards working.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Thanks for the reply mate. Guess I better get a 16GB. I have an 8 was hoping for a bigger increase than 16GB but if its going to be an issue then there is no point. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] psycho2097:
i can confirm your claim about most other i897 modems, but kg3 seems strangely good. excellent call quality, data speeds, and battery(3-9ma total drain at night, wifi n data turned off). is it not i897?
[Captivate Android Development] staplebox:
Sandisk 32GB class 10 does not work. Also a 32GB Lexar did not work - don't have it handy and don't remember the class.

3cPro 16GB class 10 works just fine.

With the new Google cloud music, or whatever they call it, I have found that I don't really need the larger cards. Cloud storage seems to be > than local storage for me now. I never would have thought that until recently, but it is working.

EDIT - the Sandisk 32GB is a class 4 not class 10 fwiw.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Well still 16GB should be enough to fit the games I want (mame, and other emus) plus some Cinematic Titanic movies :-)

So I was just thinking on going all the way but 16GB should be fine too. :-)

KG3 is an i9000 I believe.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I believe KG3 is a Bell Mobility Vibrant modem (also known as the i9000M). The JL3 modem included in CM7 is also a Bell Mobility Vibrant modem from what I have found, despite the fact that it is named as a T-Mobile Vibrant modem (a T-Mobile Vibrant modem would not support HSPA/UMTS 850 because it uses AWS 1700 instead).
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
Ah.. cool, thanks for clarifying :-)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I am pretty sure at work I use 850 and I was using KG3 for a long time before changing it due to constant dropping of the signal in other areas.

My current one is doing better.

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Well is interesting because according to the zip it wsa JL2 but I checked the system info and it shows JK4.... oh well whatever it is it gives a much more steady signal in Utah.

While KG3 was giving me higher uploads speeds at work and even slightly higher downloads when testing...in real life performance it would lose connection a lot. This one gives a bit slower speed test scores but much better real life performance for my location that is.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Kaik or anyone else that may know this, on my ATT SGS2 I am able to connect a USB micro to USB female adapter and plug in a USB thumbdrive and transfer, play songs, play movies, etc. just like if I was using it on a computer. So I decided to try it out in my Cappy also but it dies not see it connected or work at all. On the SGS2 it shows up under mnt/ USB drive. Is it possible to get that feature working on our cappys also? I mostly use my Cappy for keeping it updated with CM7 and using it on wireless networks for cruising xda and web. It would be a NICE feature to use for storing movies, music, backups. Maybe I missed a setting somewhere as this is the first time I have tried it. Let me know, Thanks

Attached here.

In reference to the previous posts, I actually didn't care that much for the audio quality. It was fine (and not an i897 modem as mentioned), but I just thought the others I mentioned (KP1, JW2 & JVT) were better. However, I didn't compare the GPS, battery or data rates, so mine wasn't a complete test of the modems.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
My opinion, it hasn't been an issue for at least three months, probably more like 5-6. I've been on cm7 since the first alphas, and i think a lot of people on xda are still repeating what they heard back then, or are running really bad configurations. My battery has been as good or better than the froyo Samsung based roms i used to run before cm for longer than i can remember.

DOWN WITH THE INFIDELS! LONG LIVE CM!
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
Yeah, um...I love CyanogenMOD and all, but it's just not accurate to say that the battery life is better than stock or i9000 ROMs. The performance is off the charts better, but it's noticeably more draining on the battery.

On stock, I had basically the exact same setup I have now. On i9000 ROMs, I OC'd to 1200 w/Talon. I never undervolted. I never took any particularly special steps to try to conserve battery. The phone would drain, on average, 3% - 5% overnight, and it was not unheard of for me to get 24hr+ charges with moderate usage.

On CM7.1, I have modem danced around to find the modem that drains my battery the least (KG3 for now, I think it's a keeper). I run Glitch, no OC, and I now UV at least -50 on all frequencies (-200 at the bottom). I've disabled surface dithering (CM Settings -> Performance) because I heard it helps with battery (I believe it does, minimally). I've experimented with apps like Green Power and Juice Defender, neither of which I found to do much of anything. I have my screen brightness turned down to the absolute minimum. I do everything I can to conserve battery. Battery usage is now more like:

Overnight (phone in airplane mode): 7% - 9%.

Overnight (no airplane mode): 11% - 13%.

Average charge: 14 - 17 hours (moderate use).

Is it enough to make me go back to Samsung ROMs? No chance in hell.

I wasn't around for the very early days of CM on the Captivate. If you guys say battery life has radically improved since then, I believe you, and that's awesome. But it's definitely still an issue.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I have to say a couple things here as I too have tried almost all the roms on my Cappy over the year and 4 months I have had it. I had two of my own cappys and one also for the wife. This allowed me to run cm7 on one Cappy and any other Samsung based rom on the other. So I was able to see ACTUAL side by side results with all the same exact apps installed and same usage.

Yes cm7 used to eat away battery but now for me it is NO DIFFERENT than any of the stock roms as far as REAL BATTERY LIFE AND USAGE. I get about 3 hours of actual use as being on screen time using it. I get the same on cm7 as well as the other Samsung i897 and i9000 based roms. Also for me battery drains super slow and as good as the other roms.

I use the stock cm7 kernel and OC'd to 1.3Ghz. I use brightness set to auto, I have sync for background stuff turned off and I toggle the sync button when I want it to sync all or I go in to the particular app and refresh it and it will sync. I too had tried Juice defender but it didn't seem to help.

The one other app I use is AUTOSTART from the market, it can be set up so apps don't automatically run, so no background running if you don't want them to. The apps will still work and function when I open them, otherwise they just don't start. So AUTOSTART is not a app killer but stops apps from starting in the first place.
