You only need to do the complicated setup the first time. After that the updates are just flashable via CWM (you can do that already using the update zip linked to the instructions - it is just an update file that will update anyone who was running a previous version of CM7 we put out for testing).
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Missing step (for me at least). After flashing the initial kernel, since the Auto Reboot option is off, how are you supposed to get back into recovery?

Answered above. Disregard again. Just pull the battery out after Odin is finished.
[Captivate Android Development] slifer315:
I answered that a few posts ago. just pull the battery after odin finishes flashing the kernel and then use the button combination.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
run efsbackup from standard CWM recovery using 3 button recovery (not adb reboot recovery or things like quickboot) and then go into download mode to flash the initial CM7 with odin or heimdall. if you have auto-reboot disabled, just hold the power button for about 10 seconds and then hold both volume buttons and power button until the Galaxy S screen flashes to go into recovery mode. continue from there
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
If you have to ask how to flash this, you shouldn't be flashing it...
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Or, after flashing kernel while still on download mode hold power and both volume buttons. When u see ATT screen release power and hold volumes until recovery shows up. I hate taking off my case to pull battery. :)
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Okay, you're right. What I said was a little misleading. Wifi works fine, it's the sleep policy, but I get a good enough signal and have unlimited internet with AT&T, so I just leave my Wifi disabled and never have to worry about it. I just meant aside from Wifi, I haven't had any other crashes or reboots. You can definitely turn Wifi on while you need it, or change the sleep policy if you want. I just would rather not waste the battery by changing the sleep policy and just leave it off.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Same for me ;) - but wanted to make sure ppl didn't think wifi was outright missing.
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
No you'll keep the 3BC. CM doesn't touch the bootloader.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
what exactly ISNT working on this?

edit:nevermind found bug log

anyone able to upload this? the download servers arent up right now
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
Looks like so far no goldfish were harmed in this process ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
Just curious as to why the update zip is so much larger than any of the ota zips I've compiled off the repo? I'm not in front of my PC to have the chance to dig into it properly.

Thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Oh ok I see you have the KB1 MOdem I'll try that one first.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
KB1 is only useful if you CAN'T use i9000 modems.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Hmm now I'm confused again haha I'll just try them all out thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] yummybar:
Hey guys!!

anyone from Toronto using Rogers+CM7 noticing that the gps is really inaccurate? stationary im getting pretty good results but while in motion its pretty bad.

1 more issue im having is that my signal drops to 1 bar, until i reboot the phone

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Not anymore. Had to charge my phone 4 times in two days. The battery lasted 6-10 hours from 100% to dead.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I get 10-12. with 4hrs screen time.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
That's equally unacceptable.
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
Been up for 6 hours medium use with 1hr Bluetooth a2dp and only 20% down battery.

I clicked on the links for Captivate. The 3 files I installed where.

cm7-galaxys-initial-20110304

captivate-efsbackup

cm7-captivate-initial-kernel
[Captivate Android Development] demonblod:
hey Dev guys. I just want to say good job on building a pretty cool ROM. It's kinda fun

but I won't be sticking with it. I'm not blaming you for anything at all, since blame seems to be a big thing around here

I'm giving it up because it's really buggy, and thats fine. This IS a beta version

The battery life is pretty horrible. My phone was charging all night, I just took it off the charger 90 minutes ago, and its already at 69%. I had a 15 minute phone call, and sent 2 texts.

The whole external sd card not working thing is a real deal breaker. IDK what's up with that...just weird.

And like you said from the very beginning, this ROM really is FOR the devs, as it takes some general experience to understand.

Thanks again, I hope you get support and keep working on it, you really do have a good thing.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
File #1 listed is your problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Billabong81:
It would help to tell him why as well...

veener, you need the cm7-captivate-initial-20110304.zip file. The galaxys initial is not meant for our phones. Zip can be found on sourceforge.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Ok so it should be captivate then? I will double check the fowl load page when I get home.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Thanks forgot to hit refresh and did not see your post.
[Captivate Android Development] nelsonw:
Deleted. Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I really apologize if this has been answered. I have not seen a mention of this. Are the haptic lights supposed to stay on all the time? After i unlock the screen they dont turn off, they just stay on until i lock the screen again.

Sorry if its been answered already.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] demonblod:
yep. has to be captivate like the rest
[Captivate Android Development] sbryan12144:
Idk if you did something wrong or not.. Mine work just fine. I'm using the jk3 modem. I started from the stock 2.1 rom. If I were you I'd start from scratch. Make sure the battery is fully charged! Mine only gets to 96% and says its fully charged.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
They shouldn't stay on. Did you install a different kernel? Try to reflash and see if you continue to have the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Im not sure what happened. I did clear the dalvik cache and they only turned on when i pressed them, but again they wouldnt turn off after. Should i just try to reflash the kernel with Odin again? Or go through the whole process once more?

I was thinking to possibly just flash the update instead of going back to stock and starting over again.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Just flash the update.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I cleared the Cache/Dalvik Cache and going to try again. If this wont work ill try to flash the update and see if its resolved.

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] smithisize:
So, I am not really good or knowledgeable about most of this as of yet, but...

If couldn't somebody use these repos, someone who knew what they were doing, to build a non-cyanogenmod GB ROM??

I love CM7, but theoretically, it could be done couldn't it?

Regards

Smith
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
Just use the Nexus S sources.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
weird that others say they aren't... mine have always been on (when the screen is on) and don't turn off until they lock the screen. this also happened with CM6.1 for me and the attempted Sense port. I assumed this was normal behavior but people are saying otherwise.

basically the phone behaves as though I have the app "keepthelightson" installed. constantly on when the screen is on.

it's possible, yes, they would just have to configure all the same things to fix bugs (like network connection) that the cmsgsteam has. it would be nice to offer a stock GB experience, someone would just have to set it up/build it.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
CM7 is open source, people can use whatever to build whatever. The real question is what it would accomplish . . . people can theme CM7 already and the underpinnings are AOSP (that's the goal). Any of the ROM chefs could theme CM7 now to make it look like their ROM and the underpinnings are hidden from you. Neither will run Samsung apps.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Mine are unreliable ;-) - they start off but then something or other turns them on depending on what I am doing. Too swamped to look into this now if at all. Might have something to do with light sensor.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Yes this is exactly how they behave. Strangely enough, if i clear the cache they dont turn on at all until i use them, at which point they will not turn off again until i lock the screen. So do we both have some issue we overlooked? I havent reflashed the update yet so i dont know if this will fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] smithisize:
This is all true. Only reason I'm even thinking along these lines is because all the contributors to CM7 have accomplished so many things, hardware issues, that this would be a great starting point.

Gotcha... Research time... (I won't accomplish anything lol but learning never hurts!)

Finally running cm7! My only deal is no swype, and I could not for the life of me turn off my alarm clock this morning. I was so tired and to refrain from throwing my Cappy
[Captivate Android Development] apples2droids:
...I had to pull the battery. Anyone get swype
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
sign up for the swype beta to get swype on cm7.... no idea about the alarm clock, sorry =)
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I have swype working fine through the beta program. Sign up, download and install. And then run the app again to get it going.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
LOL - Pull the battery to stop the Alarm - Yikes.

BTW: Glad to see another user here from TN - I'm in Knoxville.
[Captivate Android Development] zharsh17:
I just flashed a zip of the redrom swype from serendipity and it its working great. No issues
[Captivate Android Development] bveditz:
I've had pretty good luck with JL3, JL2 or KP1. My experience is that JL3 is a little better then JL2 but with worse battery. KP1 gave the same type of results, but I haven't tested enough to do a real comparison.

[Captivate Android Development] madcheeku:
I must be missing something obvious but how is the keyboard set? I have swype installed and it is checked in the keyboard list. But i still get the android keyboard, i believe there is place to actually set the default keyboard from all enabled ones?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Open android keyboard

There is like a great bottom left

Click select input

Swype
[Captivate Android Development] zharsh17:
I have a cyan/red theme going on in cm7 so the redrom keyboard works for me because it is red. You can try the themed swypes from this thread. I have not tested these on cm7 but if the serendipity one works I don't see why these won't.

[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
Alarm worked fine for me, even after snoozing it 3 times :D

Go into Settings > Language & keyboard and mak sure Swype is checked.

Next time the (Android) keyboard opens hold down the bottom left button (Either a backslash or a comma) and than select the settings icon. It will give you the option to pick input method, and will use your choice as default for that application.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Has anyone else been able to build over that last few days? I keep failing at Profiles, and WiMax.
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
I think the teamhacksung and cm7sgsteam twitter mentioned not building from nightlies for a few days. Maybe that was longer ago than I remember though :P
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I built just fine last night, make sure your repo is clean and fully sync'd

that was only for one day when there was a bad firmware flash for the touchkeys
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
My alarm was fine this morning. Hit snooze a couple times also.
[Captivate Android Development] mmm_tacos:
You shouldn't need to do a battery pull. If you hold the power button + volume up button it will 95% of the time reset the phone.

I downloaded Swype beta. It is super ugly.

I just had a reboot and the phone was stuck at the Cyanogen animated boot screen. It kept cycling through the animation process and never loaded. I had to reset the phone as described above and when it finally booted I had a text message from 10 minutes earlier. I think the message caused the reboot. Wifi set to not sleep and wasn't on at all. Odd. Tried to get logs, but not seeing anything helpful.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
After selecting it in settings, run the app again. There is an enable button...

EDIT- The swype keyboard is there, but there is no "dictionary". It will not work as anything other than a tappy tap keyboard for me right now. Still working on it.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Try the latest instructions at cmsgs.com - and make sure you start clean. The repo is working.
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
I believe metamorph themes are working. Ive also heard themed swype .zip are flashable as well.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
how does the GPS work?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
through a very complex series of magic and gnomes.

in all seriousness, it works as well as it ever has for me.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
I was try to add swype by putting the swype.apk and libswypecore.so in their appropriate places but it didn't work. Why is that?
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Hi so do we have to build new updates ourselves from this point on? Or are you going to make updates? I am not asking for ETA but just wondering what is the plan going forward.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
Same, but thats not saying much. Finding <~50m location. Sure. Tracking or steady 10m? Never.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Just install swype from beta web site. I chose full version and it works as it should
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Okay, that was my issue. What happened to zImages? Do we use boot.img now? Are they flashable just like zImages?
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
There are two locations when I drive that always give me problems with My Tracks. With every other ROM I have tried, my tracks do not turn with me when I turn at these spots. Today, it tracked perfectly with CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
I was pointing out the instructions for building yourself if you are a developer (he did ask in the Development thread after all :) ). We will continue to provide updates as we fix bugs for people who don't want to be hacking the code itself and just want updates that are "known better than previous".

Yea thats the initial modem thats installed. I dont know why he wrote JPY. JPY is usually the base for a ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] cgi101:
Is there any way to know what band (e.g. 1900 or 850) your phone is currently on like you can do with samsung's captivate roms (by typing *#0011*#)?

I can find signal strength etc in *#*#4636#*#* but don't see information about the frequency/band.

I couldnt get it to install. Also when I restored my backup it installed but now just FC's every time and wont open along with making the whole phone laggy. I guess I will need to reflash

And sadly I had to rely on my inlaws pc cause my mac woudn't read my cappy for the life of me. Lol, never thought I'd consider buying another pc.
[Captivate Android Development] Clyzm:
So is the TV Out option completely gone from the ROM or am I just completely blind? I know the CM7 thread said it wasn't working properly, but I was looking for it to see how broken it is and couldn't locate it at all.

Also happy to report that the Wii Remote works properly with CM7! =D
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Atinm, with the different setup in terms of boot, do I need to flash a new initial? The reason I ask is because everything I build won't boot past the first galaxys screen (Which I should mention has reverted to the old "kanged" version), not even to recovery.

After trying this method and .apk i still get the server security error.

I really don't understand why I can't get any of these to work.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Hm, I'm debating whether to roll back to Serendipity just for CPU scaling and the like. Is this a kernel thing with CM or is this just some other issue related to 2.3.3 and how it handles the app? I keep getting FCs.

Would it be possible for me to do a Root Explorer-copy and paste for the music app and DSP manager (I hear this relies on some libraries, which should I copy?) for use in 2.2.1.

Are these apps backwards-compatible to 2.2.1? Or am I going to dig myself into a hole, as these are MAJOR reasons why I'm on CM right now, causing me to need to reflash and restore all of my data later?

Also, emulators are broken... Bad times on the bus ride to work...
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
build and installed a couple hours ago, and no changes when i repo sync since.... are you using the "current" build method? its changed..... kernel does NOT get built separate anymore......
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
What do you mean, cpu scaling? I have an overclock kernel on page 2 of the dev forum, if that's what you want.

Dsp probably won't work, but the music app probably will. Even if they don't work, it'll probably just fail at installing, not messing up your rom.

And gameboid works. :p
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Hrm. I actually don't know what you're doing . . . or how to make it work. Thought I did but I looked in the thread and it seems the apk is built for Gingerbread and at least one other person is able to use it on Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
No, I know. I did a make mrproper to fix the kernel dir like atinm said. Now everything builds, but it bootloops when flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] tcortinag:
Copy this to System\app then reboot and should be ok

It was taken from a CM7 ROM, I already tried this on my Captivate and works fine.

NOTE: Moded Email.apk is not part of CM7 nor CMSGS team, so go to the apk thread for any issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Just found it, testing.

Eh, if your kernel supports lower frequencies, I could care less about downgrading. I want to get back my 800MHz UC with 100-200MHz screen off.

Hm, I'm getting FCs once I try to start up a game. Derrr....
[Captivate Android Development] mprinceiii:
i have been running this since the initial "best" release, and after flashing the update, this is simply the best rom available right now. pretty stable for me, great battery life, and great speeds. thank you for all your hard work for finally bringing us Gingerbread for the Captivate!

I think you should use the 10mb beta one from the website.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Not on cyanogenmod, you would have to revert to a samsung ROM to see this.

TV out not implemented yet.

I'm still seeing the non "KANGED" screen, so I think something is up with your repo/build.

Emulators work fine for me. Been playing the crap outta some n64oid with a paired wiimote. DSP manager shouldn't work on Samsung ROM's. Also I don't know what you're opening to "keep getting FC's" when it comes to kernel.

use the swype beta available from http://beta.swype.com

not a clue, happened to me once, a long time ago. Deleted it and haven't seen anything bad happen because of doing so.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
SetCPU and custom frequencies weren't working, and if I tried to mess with the sliders or profiles, it FC'd. CPU Tuner did the same. TheEscapist's OC kernel fixed it.

I just reflashed CM7 and am restoring all of my apps. Let's see if this fixed the emulators.

EDIT: Nope, still getting FCs when I boot a game. Trying to wipe app data now. I had TiBackup'd these.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Use the Swype beta from their website. And the radio dump is probably leftover from when Coolya was doing radio debugging. I have like, 10 just sitting there. Just delete it.

@Kaik, That's what I think. Doing one more clean build, then I'll start over with a clean repo. Good thing I kept all my changed files in a separate directory. :p
