[Captivate Android Development] amucinom:
ok somehow i deleted my rom manager from my system apps (i know i need to be more careful :p) does anybody mind copying theirs and putting it up? if something bad happens to my phone i need it to re-flash the rom and i kinda need it haha sorry for the inconvinience
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Get it from the Market. less than a minute total and you're done
[Captivate Android Development] amucinom:
thanks! at first it FC'ed everytime i wanted to use it, but i rebooted but its all good now! :D
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
Anyone know how to get the facebook sns? I copied over the snsaccount and snsproivder apks but nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
That was the most painless ROM install I've ever experienced, and I've installed a good number of ROMs. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
From what I remember that is for Samsung roms only and wont work on cm7. Facebook app can do practically the same thing so you can use that to link contacts to Facebook friends.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Only issue I have right now is when I pull down the status bar none of the usual options/icons are there: wifi, bt, gps, silent, etc. Anyone know how to get that back?
[Captivate Android Development] cease:
Missing top options/icons

Go to Settings, under ADWlauncher, Tap Screen preferences, Uncheck Hide StatusBar.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
He isn't missing the status bar, he's missing the notification widgets.

Go into CM settings>interface>notification power widget. If it's already enabled, just reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, so I went ahead and upgraded to the premium version of ROM Manager. Now I just wanted to check and make sure that I am doing the right thing here. Should I be downloading the CM file from the free TeamHacksung or the nightly from the premium section if I already have CM7 installed. Sorry for asking all about this, but I just want to make completely certain that I don't wipe everything on my phone before I install/update.

[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
"All of the hardware of the devices should be in proper working order" truth? Or stretch of the truth?
[Captivate Android Development] topo:
I don't think all drivers from Samsung are ready for prime time, but hey! It's good news anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
Is this basically the same ROM as in this thread, or different?

There doesn't seem to be install instructions, but assume if we are running this rom, just install over....

The download area has 2 files one that has -0 and a -1 .... what is the significance of the 2 files, have to install -0 and then -1?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Forgive the stupid question but where can I find the change logs for the different nightly releases? Im anxiously awaiting the iphone mms fix to be released.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
for now they will be listed here and the cyanogenmod site the OP links you to.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
The files from Teamhacksung don't work yet, they will very soon. Download and install from ROM manager for now. And the reason why 0516 isn't on sourceforge is because there were no changes from 0515 to 0516 other than ROM Manager support.

Also, can someone PM me please and tell me how to do the multi-quote. lol, I've tried and get a massive fail everytime.
[Captivate Android Development] eatonjb:
no.. this happens, and then the phone is unusuable sometimes, i have to reboot it to get anything to work..

I do a wipe, and then it progressively gets worse over the day. i have nothing on this phone other then Handcent, Google voice, and Trillian, and it just lags, and freezes randomly, sometimes i sleeps and then i cant wake it.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Thanks

Need the button on the app still for a proper thx
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
PM me also please on the multi quote. Its a flailfest each time I try.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Perfect, thanks. The only other issue I've come across is dropping calls or hanging up on people when talking to someone. I don't believe the screen is on or anything, and I don't recall hitting any of the physical buttons...

EDIT: is there any way to disable vibrate on screen unlock? I check the settings but don't see anything to disable that.

EDIT2: how exactly do I install the Google apps from ROM manager? I checked the option when I downloaded the ROM but nothing was installed.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I will comment that the radio that comes with CM7 is utter trash for me that is. I have 2 other friends who had so many problems with data speeds from the the default radio but I suggest flashing a different modem.bin provided on sourceforge: like jpg jk3 jk4. I suggest downloading a few of them and try them out for a few days. I personally like jpg.
[Captivate Android Development] topo:
The code for this ROM is now merged into the official tree, so YES, it should be the same ROM. The main difference, I guess, is that changes to the mainstream code will get directly (i.e. faster) to us. This of course include all the nice little features, fixes and bugs that are part of any large[r] software development lifecycle (we get them anyway now, maybe a little bit delayed or not at the same release frequency?)

Additional mirrors is probably another advantage.

Regarding the -0 and -1, I believe is just two nightlies for the same day? I guess the most recent should be sufficient.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
this is good news im tempted to come back to this again
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
That's just the numbering system for the nightlies. Every build is a new number, regardless of day. Sometimes they don't even make it to the mirror, and you'll get a skipped number or two.
[Captivate Android Development] Several Zombies:
Followed the instructions to a T. Worked fine for a while but now I keep getting No Service if it's been on for a few hours and occasionally it'll freeze with the screen half on. It also seems pretty laggy at times -- I keep having to restart. Reflashed once already. What do?

SGH-I896 on Rogers
[Captivate Android Development] :
I agree on the stock modem being trash. I couldn't get service in my apt. I flash jk4 and I have 3/4 bars. Ive used jk4 on about everything because it works best for me. I've heard a million times that different modems work better in different places for different people.
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Congratulations on being accepted into Cyanogenmod! :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
You do know that JK4 is what comes standard on CM7, right?
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
All hardware is supported. Does that mean that tvout is working? Supposedly "le kernel de jour" has the drivers and just needs the settings app edited.
[Captivate Android Development] FeO2:
Not on the latest initial - it was JL3 I believe. I'm running JP9 at the moment, seeme to be working good.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
sounds like you have a captivate that can't use i9000 modems. try using the KB1 modem (with terrible voice quality) and see if that helps

his kernel has the same fixes codeworkx already included, his has nothing extra or special in this regard. the "properly working hardware" means nothing is fundamentally broken with the phone, everything else is still work-in-progress. same as it always was.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, finally got it working. ROM Manager actually makes the whole process surprisingly easy. Almost makes me wish I could actually use it to install kernels and modems too.
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
jl3 is standard
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
You can. Install rom from sd card-> choose any flashable zip (modem, kernel) you want.
[Captivate Android Development] rcllcr:
If I am coming from Firefly 3.0, can I just flash to stock, perform a MASTER CLEAR, then go into recovery and flash this ROM available on ROM manager from Team Hacksung?

Any need to deal with boot loaders?
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
No need to flash to stock or do a master clear, just flash it straight from Firefly as long as you haven't upgraded to 2.3 bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
com.android.phone

Hey, on the latest nightly 5/16 and been using it for about 36 hours. Had to reboot my phone and all of a sudden I keep getting a com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly...and keeps force closing. Can't do anything...any suggestions? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
boot into recovery and there is a option to fix permissions, try that :)
[Captivate Android Development] rcllcr:
Thanks a lot. This stable enough for every day use?
[Captivate Android Development] rcllcr:
This has happened to me before. Are you using Titanium Backup? Because if you are, and you restored the phone app from your previous backup, this could cause major issues, like the force closing.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I keep getting a runtime exception for Google Docs...anyone experience this before?

EDIT: and it seems the Market isn't loading...
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
I've been using it for about two months, and all my complaints have been fixed, so it is for me.
[Captivate Android Development] pparavas:
Am sorry for the noob question. What exactly does merging with mainline do to the captivate development team? Do we see a RC release in near future. ?
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
It is on Android Market...
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no we're getting true nightlies now straight from the buildfarm. that's really it.

likely we might get an RC or stable build by 7.1 time
[Captivate Android Development] Swanton187:
noob question

I am currently on a 2.2 rom I don't suppose I can just throw this into rom manager and it will install with no issues?
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
As far as I'm concerned, battery life is the only thing on cm7 that is not as good as the Samsung based ROMs.

I get 10-15 hours on a charge with light use.

I also aggressively manage Bluetooth, wifi, and GPS (these are powered off most of the time)

I guess I live with the battery tradeoff because cm7 is so darn fast and snappy.

My understanding is that with cm7 many of the hardware components cannot be put to "deep sleep" so they generally use more power than they should when the phone is idle. I think this is something that is still being worked on.

Somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
yep, if you have cwm your good to go. Except, you don't need to throw it into ROM manager. Just go through the steps in ROM Manager.Open ROM Manager> download ROM (you'll see teamhacksung in download ROM)> you will need to update your cwm and it should prompt you to do so...also check the box for GApps as you will need to reinstall that as well. It's all done from RM.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, after I updated to 5/16/11, it was still coming up as JK4. However, I agree with you on the JP9. For some reason, JK4 was "degrading" on me. JP9 is the best I found of the new ones. JPG is a complete waste, but with JP9 I'm getting full bars inside with 5.3Mbps
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
How to install coming from miui?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Flash back to stock 2.1 or 2.2, get root- install through ROM Manager. Never hurts to read the OP and follow instructions;)
[Captivate Android Development] tnt533:
Absolutely amazing stuff.

I had to load the Google apps from recovery though as doing it from ROM Manager didn't work.

Edit: battery performance was awful and the phone refused to stay off when plugged into a charger preventing me from doing a conditioning of the battery.

Ill wait for the RC.
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
I was just wondering cause I thought I already had cm7 files on my phone considering my boot logo says cm7
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
so i just saw this on android central:

http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-vibrant-captivate-i9000-merged-cyanogenmod-7-tree

what does this mean exactly?
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
You don't need to from miui, just flash the nightly I believe.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
That's what I was thinking. Any other confirmations?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
My bad, I thought MiUi had the different bootloaders. Thanks for correcting me:)

Again, I thought MiUi had the different bootloaders, and wasn't aware you could make the jump from 2.3.3. The instructions specifically say 2.2. (2.1 will work with root and ROM Manager or CWM) ..my bad:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] kschumake83:
miui IS cm7 in a way... same kernels and the rest of the rom is based off of cm7 too. i always cleared data and cache coming over though but i dont know if that is necessary.
[Captivate Android Development] Denoh:
In ROM manager, when I select download ROM, in the premium section, there are CM7 nightlies. Are these for the Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Stretch - we aren't bug free, blame Samsung :-P
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Not that I'm complaining, but is BLN included in the stock CM7 kernel?

Because I flashed yesterday and have fully working BLN without a kernel swap (and without installing or using a BLN control app). I thought you could only get BLN by going third-party...did that change recently?

Edit: I see LED notifications were added on 5/1, but I assumed that was just the framework to control them if you had a kernel that supported BLN.
[Captivate Android Development] jellysweep:
I was on the 5/15 build and decided to jump on the rom manager train and try the latest/greatest. I followed the instructions you guys outlined, and everything went smoothly - upgraded to 5/16 via the team hacksung repo without issue. The only thing is that it totally wiped my phone! I was very surprised. I did select the wipe cache/dalvik option, but ive been doing that with every zip upgrade and this never happened. I didnt really see that mentioned by other users. Is that normal? Not the end of the world, as i have a recent backup....but still a bit of an annoyance.

Also...sorry - i still havent seen a clear answer. I know that captivate is officially integrated now. Does that mean we can start using the repo for cm7 nightly builds today? Or do we stick with the teamhacksung files?

Thanks for all the help guys. This is my first android phone, but everyone here has made this stuff very simple. I love this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys, I decided to flash CM7 last night for the third time and for some reason, it just isn't working properly.

I flashed stock, flashed the latest nightly and it'll boot up, but it is extremely laggy, picture is choppy. The App drawer comes up really slowly and closes slowly.

Has anyone else experienced this?
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
I'm actually getting the same battery life as when I micromanaged the stock Samsung ROM - and with CM7 I am doing no such fiddling with task killers and the like. (Screenshots below are from the 5/16 build with a full wipe.)

Quite stellar, especially considering the display on time!
[Captivate Android Development] :
If the standard lock/unlock the screen doesn't work, try a different launcher. I use Launcher Pro because I don't like the way the included one acts on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
?

As far as I can tell, everything "works", launcher included, it's just not working as well as most people here report. It isn't nearly as smooth as any of the stock or custom ROM I've been on. The boot time is extremely slow too. It looks like a PC would without video drivers installed. Just laggy and choppy.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Gonna guess a bad flash then. Because I've had a hiccup or two along the way with CM7. But never anything like you're describing. I know you said in an earlier post that you don't "trust" ROM Manager... but it might be time to trust it and see if you get better results.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Bad flash 3 times in a row?? I guess anything is possible.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Boot time will always be long - we're doing some complicated stuff in the beginning that Samsung does not. Lag on playing video is known because video is not hardware accelerated as Samsung did not give us the drivers we need and they hacked the framework on their ROMs to support it. But you should not be getting lag on app drawer etc. Maybe only at bootup when things are still running in the background bringing up services etc. Normal (not video game, movie) behavior is way faster than anything Samsung put out. Can you tell me what your "About phone" says under kernel version and Mod version?
[Captivate Android Development] apples2droids:
I did the same thing halo. Lol. I flashed escapists kernel, got the same screen and immediatly pulled my battery.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Sh**. Sorry dude. I flashed another ROM after the third time. I don't recall what the specifics were! Damn! I'll have to flash again and get back to you on that. You have any recommendation on what I can do differently on my 4th try?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I checked the change logs for the latest releases and didn't see anything regarding the iphone mms issue. I know I asked already, but there have been a few nightly releases since then, so I figured I'd ask again. If not added yet, what would it be titled so I know what to look for?
[Captivate Android Development] mortuus.x:
I'm quite sure this is my own doing, but for the life of me I can't get the gapps flashed or at least showing up again. I came from Continuum 4, not 5x so no other device GB bootloaders, putting them on sounded a bit dodgy to me too.

Based on what I read from a few pages ago I simply installed ROM Manager, and within it downloaded the 0516 nightly/full rom as well as the gapps, flashed Dalvik and installed CM7. It's working decently except that a) I don't have any of my previously installed apps and b) I can't get gapps installed to then install Titanium Backup to restore some of my apps and their data.

I've tried going into recovery and wiping cache, dalvik again and then flashing gapps, I've tried directly in Rom Manager but no dice. Again, I'm sure I jumped the gun and didn't read something properly, but I honestly thought that what I've outlined above is all that was necessary to get CM running. Certainly that's all the "Easy Way" instructions outline.

Please feel free to call me names, insult my mother et cetera, but can someone please give me an indication as to what I might have done wrong, am still doing wrong and finally how I can get gapps installed to get Titanium Backup installed so I can get my apps back on there. I did NOT wipe the data on the internal SD card (should I have?) so all of my old apps and data should be there, but CM isn't seeing them.

Sorry for what is no doubt idiocy on my part.
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
The stock 2.1 update 1comes with which modem? I am planing on flashing it.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Damn! I wish I had battery life like that. I lose 35-40% just overnight with nothing running.

Am I the exception or the norm? How is other peoples battery life doing?

Is there anything else I can do besides turning off GPS, wifi, and Bluetooth?
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
Coming from the 5/16 nightly.. I tried flashing cm_captivatemtd_full-5.zip via ROMManager and am getting the following error when installing:

Checking state of BML/MTD...

assert failed: run_program("/tmp/updater.sh") == 0

E:Error in /sdcard/cm_captivatemtd_full-5.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

So is this user error on my part or something wrong with the zip file?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
if you grab a nightly from download.cyanogenmod.com there is absolutely NO guarantee it will flash successfully or even boot. that's why they're called "nightllies". they are untested and built automatically.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Mine sucks, too...

I pulled it off the charger at 100% an hour ago and it is at 78% now. 10 minute phone call and 20 minutes attached to bluetooth in the car is all I did...

Of course now that I checked Spare Parts, it is telling me that BT caused 61% of the battery drain over that period... WOW! 20 minutes of BT being on ate up 11% battery... the other 11% was running and calls combined
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
try using the gapps zip posted a few pages ago
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I've lost about 13% over 4 hours...not too bad overall. Light use so we'll see where it's at tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
I see, well I guess that makes sense then. I just wanted to make sure because I've been rolling with this rom since day 1 and never had an issue installing.

With that being said, how does one know when there is an actual "legit" update to the ROM? Do we basically roll the dice, so to speak, until a stable version shows up? I only ask because the updating process is completely different now then just grabbing the latest update from sourceforge. Thank you for taking the time to reply :)
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Are these nightlies better the builds before? Does it mean the full CM is almost done?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Based on the info he gave, I am guessing when it shows up in ROM Manager, it is a "legit" update since it has been approved by the team.

Someone, please correct me if I am wrong though
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
For those of you having issues flashing gapps after an initial install, here's what I did to get it to work. Alternately, you could delete everything but the backups under the clockworkmod folder on the SD card and get the same results. Probably should be added to the instructions or initial install script to delete cwm 2.5 since everything following the initial flash requires cwm 3.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
It's been 30 whole minutes and nobody in here has reflashed their device back to stock JF6 for you to see what modem it runs???

:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
I understand it may be legit in the sense that its available for download.. But Kaik specifically said:

So when I say legit.. I mean tested for flashing as the prior updates on sourceforge were. Btw.. Build #3 flashed successfully for anyone wanting 5/19 nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
do we have to flash back odin coming from cognition or can just flash this from CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
so for rom manager, we click on flash clockwork mod recovery even tho we already have one with no problems? havn't used rom manager for the longest time

edit: nevermind didnt know rom manager will use current clockwork installed
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
To get TiBu installed, see my thread here:
