The devs will do what they want, but in the past they have given the distinct impression that they would never force anyone to put a i9000 bootloader on a i897. They have come out several times saying that it is a bad idea as the i9000 bootloader is not designed for the i897. They have also implied that once new bootloaders are available for the i9000, Captivate, and Vibrant, they would implement "official" support for the new bootloaders into CM7. I think that any new bootloader support would not require running bootloaders from other devices.
[Captivate Android Development] FireRaider:
I always flash from recovery to avoid that very issue.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
I did flash from recovery...
[Captivate Android Development] harryk92:
Nobody else seems to be having this problem, but my wifi has been sketchy from the earliest nightlies to today's nightlies. While watching a YouTube video, every few minutes I get a connection error and have to reload the video. Similar occurs while browsing. The green wifi and cell signal turn white for a moment then back to green. This occurs on multiple wifi networks and never happened on Samsung based roms. Is there a solution to this?
[Captivate Android Development] ralexand:
Unfortunately, I think there are a few network issues with CM7 for Captivate. I, too, get a lot of Wi-Fi disconnects; although I did notice once that within 10 feet of the AP I did not drop a connection once over the course of 30 minutes (to put that in perspective, it's not odd to drop wifi once every 5 minutes for me).

For a while I could not get anything except an HSDPA connection, either. So, in 2g-only areas I would get no connection. That has been fixed, though.

Unfortunately, no luck on the wifize. I did attempt a wipe, once, in hopes of fixing it, but no luck.
[Captivate Android Development] Tuftylb:
I too have had issues with my wifi not staying connected.
[Captivate Android Development] FireRaider:
Really? And it wiped your apps off? I thought only flashing from the Rom Manager app caused that. I tried it that way once and didn't like it. I haven't ever had to redo anything flashing from recovery. I dislike the hassle of trying to remember which apps I really use and which apps i got just to try so I use recovery. TiBU works great if I need it but I sure like the easy update without restoring wifi passwords, application passwords and other such stuff.

Or are you doing something different from me? A factory reset also from recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
cbasse did say he/she was doing a "fresh install," so I think it is safe to say that either factory reset or another method of removing everything was used.

As far as the issue that cbasse is facing, I believe there is an option to enable or disable the Market automatically restoring all your apps. Unfortunately I can't remember where it is, or find it right now.

This is a silly question, but cbasse, did you re-install gapps after your fresh install? Without gapps installed, there is no Market installed.
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
The Thread title really NEEDS updating... We are now GRJ90 2.3.5!!! :)
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
nkrick is right on...issue is after a fresh install, meaning I flashed to stock, did a data wipe, and then installed both CM7 #78 and gapps from recovery.

Not the end of the world - I restored apps via TiBu with little hassle. If anyone knows how to do the "auto -install" trick, please post here!

Happy Friday all!

Anyone using LCD Density with this ? It seems that 182 is the lowest before the lock screen looks all weird at least for me. :-)

Never been a huge fan of messing with my LCD density, but hey I have an open mind hahaha.

Shaolin again with the peer pressure, your killing me smalls!:p

You need to install the Gapps.

[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Unless you rely on Wifi a lot, I'd try it out if I were you. I never use my Wifi because of the issues with it right now, and I haven't had a single reboot or crash since I started using CM7 about a week ago.

Also, it's very fast. You may not need an OCed kernel as much as you think. I've been running an OC kernel basically since the Captivate came out, and I'm just fine with the speed of CM7 as is.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Try flashing the update on top of what you have now.

I've been building for a few weeks now, and my wifi didn't work until I flashed an ota package. Hope many of the ota files are in the update.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
So far so good.

Does auto rotate work?....

Nevermind......a reboot fixed it

[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
I can't three button back to recovery after flashing cyangen kernel with odin. I always have to wait until the 2nd time the at&t screen goes off then let off the power button but nothing is working . I used odin to flash back to speedmod and all of a sudden I had 3 button combo back then I flash back to cyanogen kernel and its gone.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
You do have to copy the files first :p

It says in the notes that USB sharing of the external sd card doesn't work yet... but, does it work from within the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Oh I do need the extra 400Mhz as I am addicted to emulators and it makes a BIG difference running some of the tougher FPSE games unfortunately. :(

I also do use Wifi often but it is not something I cannot live without for a while.

I might still give it a shot just for fun in the mean time :-)
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Cm doesn't include the button fix for phones that need it. Be careful.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
How does the GPS perform on this? Can we use those GPS Fixes?
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Wifi works fine, no reason to live without. Just change the wifi sleep policy to never to avoid reboots
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
OP answered to me that they are not touching the bootloader. If you already have the 3 button combo working, the CM kernel shouldn't disable it, should it?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Wifi is fine - just set its sleep policy to never sleep when you do want it.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Will this cause issues if your phone doesn't have working button combos on stock? I have to use a special Odin flash to revert to stock on my phone without breaking button combos, but the instructions that came with that package specifically mention that repartition should not be checked (which I'm guessing won't work out since CM7 uses ext4).
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Correct. If your phone has working 3 button, cm doesn't change it. Remember some phone had broken 3 button but have a fix applied, it will remove the fix, possibly.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
I would stay away for now. See my above post.

Problem with KB1 modem!

I am one of the unlucky ones facing the issue where the phone randomly loses service with i9000 based modems.. :( .. I tried the KB1 modem. The signal is fine with this, but i get very bad call quality, almost making it unusable! anything that can be done regarding this? i tried every other modem (Jk3, Jk4, Gl2, even Vibrant) .. but no luck!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Unfortunately no... atinm is looking into the audience chip driver, but it's not sure if it's compatible yet.
[Captivate Android Development] puneet_champ:
I have a captivate with HW rev 1007 and i face the network connectivity issue with CM7. The problem goes away with KB1, but then the voice clarity is real bad, making it unusable to make/receive calls ..
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yep yep yep, same issue, calls sound nasty. The Nexus One actually uses the exact same chip so the code for it is in AOSP, and it has a possibility of being integrated (though will invalidate using the HSUPA modems most likely)... it all remains to be seen
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
It's means exactly what it says. You press the power button once and it locks your phone to the lockscreen then unlock it using the lock screen. Just do that a few times and it should work.
[Captivate Android Development] vsboxerboy1:
Yeah I'm also having trouble with my service - specifically when I connect to my PC in debugging mode so that I can test some program I'm making.

That being said, my hat is off to the designers for their hard work and I'll be sure to be back when this is fully matured :)

As for now though, the Cognition is going back on my phone because it is simply rock solid.
[Captivate Android Development] tcortinag:
Lock and unlock the phone, turn off screen, turn on -> unlock...

No, CM does not enables, you MUST have HSPA enabled, that's why you need to check before installing CM7, if you installed and you don't have it enabled, there is no way to enable, you must go back to stock, and do the whole thing.
[Captivate Android Development] trell959:
Well what happened with me was I flash and booted. Took a couple mins to get signal. Then H just popped up
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
beeeeeep - no sorry, got something typed wrong
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
+1 on the Audience driver. I also have a 1007 and I will give up HSUPA for a voice quality. The only time I ever tried a non-Captivate modem, I got absolutely no sound at all in phone calls... I've been waiting on CM for the Captivate since Sept, but unfortunately without Audience support and poor sound quality, I have to keep waiting (and keep hoping).

On a related note, does anyone have a rev 1007 with CM7 and a working i9000 modem?
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
How do you know if it is off or on? I reverted to stock, and then called the number. It just says "Change HSPA Revision, [1] Release R99 (HSPA off), [2] Release 5(HSDPA Only), [3] Release 6(HSDPA/HSUPA)."

No where does it say whether it is currently on or off. How can I verify if it is on or off?
[Captivate Android Development] ThatJawn:
Dumb question.

Im on step 7 right now etc etc. TO move on to step 8 I have to go into download mode right? How do I do that from CLockwork Recovery screen?
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
3 button, or from clockwork menu, there is an option for rebooting download mode
[Captivate Android Development] tcortinag:
I think you should do it thru 3 button combo
[Captivate Android Development] ThatJawn:
Hmmm in the advanced features all I am seeing is reboot to recovery again among some other things. nothing more. But about the 3 button combo. Battery pull out of CWM then?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
If you are on stock then it is not enabled, and you need to flash another rom to get appropriate kernel prior to flash
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
I did it from clockwork, go through the menus again, its there somewhere if you have the green colored menus
[Captivate Android Development] ThatJawn:
Ugh. My luck. Phone is in download mode. Have the appropriate drivers. But for some reason my phone won't register on Odin???
[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
revision 1007 captivate

i been getting okay quality with kb1 and i also use jl3 and jk4 i noticed i dont get calls because all the modems i used drop connection, unless i have google auto sync it keeps the connection active for my phone to be usable. but i noticed when i try to turn on my screen with the power button my phone get stuck.

does anyone remember the modem when the nexus s rom came out for captivate

will that work that modem worked well.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

HAHAHA, this is too dope. Never really played with it too much, but I gotta say I don't know how I was living without this :D

I wan't getting a reboot with the recommended setup so I just went kilall, noticed a slight little bloop on the lock-screen but that was only upon the reboot.

Not getting it anymore, but then again I only went to 184 haha
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
Do you notice some elements having color banding? That's the only reason I have never stuck with lower density.

I don't go below 185... that's right where I like it.

If you are talking about the auto-install for Titanium Backup, I think it is only available in PRO version. I purchased TB Pro for that reason alone. Set it, and forget it!
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:

[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
I think the 'auto-install' he is referring to is after you setup Gapps and log in, the Market begins to download everything automatically.

Since I don't have my phone at this exact moment, I cant tell you exactly the verbiage used...

But, during the setup process of Gapps, you will get two windows near the end of the Gapps install that each have two checkboxes.

One checkbox (on a screen that has two options to enable / disable) has something to the effect of 'keep my device syncd with Google'. This box has to be checked on PRIOR INSTALLATIONS of Cyanogen (or, if you copied Gapps and used it on a different rom, this option has to have been enabled) in order for all of your apps, contacts, etc to be syncd. In essence, this box allows Google to keep a list of all your apps and contacts and whatever other secret information the Google aliens are keeping in their giant, secret database.

The next screen has two more checkboxes, one of those to the effect of 'automatically restore my device...'. This option will enable the Marketplace to begin downloading everything stored in the database from the previous option to begin to download and sync as soon as you log in to the Marketplace.

I know its a bit confusing, but think of it this way. The first option I mentioned allows Google to keep a list of everything, the second option I mentioned allows the Market to re-sync FROM that list.

If, on the previous installation of CM, you had the first option I mentioned DISABLED, this means Google doesnt have any information on the apps you had installed and thus, since they dont know what you had installed (they only know what you PURCHASED), and you have the second option I mentioned ENABLED, the Market will only re-install what they KNEW you had (and in many cases, an assumption is made that because you previously may have purchased an app but then uninstalled it, Google doesnt know that you uninstalled it and as such, assumes that because you purchased it, you must have had it installed).

I hope this makes sense, its kind of tricky to explain...
[Captivate Android Development] :
People have had issues with wifi on the Captivate since the phone came out. I remember reading once on the AndroidForums that swapping the security type of the network (WPA to WSK?) seemed to solve the wifi issues that a lot of people were having. May be worth a shot at least.
[Captivate Android Development] harryk92:
Ill go give that a shot. Although I'm fairly certain the problem is not the phone because stock and other roms I did not have the wifi drop.

Cyanogen mod is available in download rom section only for premium users of rom manager. I don't think you have a premium license. Or you can always download it from the forum
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
I dled the latest nightly from the forum and just flashed it.

Odd, because I did spend the $5.89 and bought the premium. Even more odd, once I flashed the latest nightly and installed Clockwork, CM showed up even though the premium license was yet to be installed. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
You need to set up ROM Manager to see CM7 nightlies when you are not on CM7. Also, it'll show up without Premium license but you won't be able to download it.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
So when I was on original rooted 2.1 stock and installed ROM Manager Premium and didn't see CM, what step did I miss that I should do next time I do a fresh back to stock install?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I'm actually not quite sure of the steps. I think you have to flash CWM and select Captivate (MTD) CWM 3.X in the process to see it all. But of course you should start with a kernel with integrated CWM. So flash something like Cog4 over stock to get integrated CWM then try that.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
So, I was playing around with TitBU (I usually use My Backup Pro, so I was trying to get a sense of the different features, etc.) and discovered that Market Apps Installer was frozen...something I know I did NOT do. Does anyone know of a reason this would be frozen by default (again, I'm coming from a fresh install of CM7 #78 and had not restored any apps yet)? Can anyone else see if this is the case for you as well? Seems strange...
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
That's probably just the one-time app that prompts you to install gmail, youtube, etc when you first sign in after a full wipe. It typically gets frozen after that step has been completed. If you have all your apps the way you want, then it's probably a good thing that it remain frozen. If you unfreeze it, it should run again when you open market, and then it will freeze again, I think. ;)

For anyone wondering I have sucessfully flashed the gingerbread bootloaders.

(Note: Is there any way to double check i am actaully on them, and I also am not testing an emmc).

The steps i did where:

Nandroid Backup

Odin1click to stock 2.1 eclair

Flash the AT&T Gingerbread bootloader PDA with odin 1.8

*Flash the modded eclair/froyo param.lfs (for changed boot screen, don't use the gingerbread version thats for i9000 based gingerbread bootloaders)

*Root phone (Super1click)

*Add changed boot screen (logo_ATNT.jpg)

flash speedmod tar with odin

flash cm7 nightly from cwm

restore nandroid backup

(* is optional, for changing first boot screen)

Now i am back where i was, like i never left. Except now i have the gingerbread bootloaders.

Hope this can help some other people who want to try them out but needed help.

Flash back to stock kernel maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Any nightly above 50 (I think even some in the 40s) includes everything you need to install CM. From stock, in recovery menu, install zip and browse to the nightly. You dont need efsbackup or any kernels to be installed separately, the nightlies are complete packages now.

Do you have to go back to stock 2.1 first? I wonder if it is possible to just flash the i897 Ginger bootloaders while on CM7? Or flash the i897 Ginger bootloaders and then reinstall CM7 through cwm?

I was thinking about doing that yesterday when I had a weird issue after trying a OC kernel and lost the ability to get into recovery or reboot or anything. So I flashed back to stock, then flashed the i897 bootloaders and it failed. Problem is it would not even power up after at all, totally dead. Time for jtag I guess. Luckily I had my spare and flashed it back to eclair rom and installed CM7 onto it cuz I CANNOT live without CM7.
