1) My Kernel of choice is Glitch. It's the one I've had the best experience with. Also, stock doesn'st have GPS working (at leas on my phone) and glitch works

OK (not great, not well but it works).

2) I think the LP thing is universal to CM. I have the same problem and so does a buddy that has an EVO. It FC's once after boot and is fine after that

3) http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=captivatemtd is the closest you're going to get. You can check github to see what the devs are doing as well https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_captivatemtd/commits/gingerbread
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
how many apps are you running?

and what modem are you using?

where you on wifi? or was this 3g connection?
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
Thanks CoreyM. I may give Glitch a try.

That's what I've been doing on LP - basically pressing buttons until I get the pop-up to kill the app, then it restarts and is fine. Funny thing - I just flashed a different modem and when I restarted, I didn't have the usual LP issue! Hmm...

I've noticed that sometimes the comments made in the change log are "useful" to me, other times not...like I said, not critical, just would be nice to understand a little better what is going on...

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Hey Keland44.. I got roughly 35/40 apps installed. And I usually have wifi on but lately I've been only turning it on when using the web so that is probably helping a little. And 3g or H most of the time. I work in areas that have crap signal and my battery drops MUCH faster, so when I know I am not gonna have service for a few hours I slap on airplane mode or shut the phone off and that helps. For real though, I haven't seen this kind of battery life in a long time. Also haven't used the stock kernel for a long time either, so that has probably improved as well.

..oh and JK4 modem :)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
You can go into settings>applications >development and check the box for "stop app via long press back button". Its an awesome task killer, one of my favorite features of CM7 :p
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
nice tip! thanks!:D
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I used to have automatic shutdowns of LP with all Froyo Roms when restarting but with CM7 I never get that any more. I wonder if it is some specific widget or something.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
thanks for the reply coreym i grabbed the new market app based on that i have about 46 apps so I think i'm topping out at around 50-52 apps in total. I'm sure it's something i'm running that's draining me down. i think i'm averaging around 7-8 hours using glitch with jv9 modem with a extended 1800mah china battery i'm mostly on 3g/h most of the time also. I just keep spare batteries on me which sucks but it's nice to have a really great rom and a speedy phone all the time
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I know this ROM is worth sacrificing some battery life.. and actually that's about what I was getting a week or two ago. Maybe a little better but not much. But then out of nowhere with Glitch's pre11 BAM..great batt life. I am on the beta testing team and even the betas we were given before the release did not have that good of battery life .. and with the final v11 its supposed to be even better. So far so good :p
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
see that's the thing i thought i was using the final v11 i'm using the one that's on this site http://androtransfer.com/tk-glitch/CM7-kernels/Glitch/Captivate/VoodooColor/

but based on what your saying the beta group has something better?

i got the link from this thread the glitch thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15628583&postcount=372
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Nah, the final v11 was after our last beta build. And it seems to be better than the last beta I tested. And since TKGlitch doesn't have a captivate I think there was one more beta built for the i9000 before the final v11 release.. so your using the same one I am using. I'm not using the beta kernel anymore, I dl'd mine from the same site. The final is the way to go!
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
got cha looks like i'll probably get around 10 hours today using oem battery well see though right now i'm at 48% and 5 hours in
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
So to those experiencing launcher pro closes on boot, it's because it loads the lp framework, but media scanner hasn't found the resources yet. It's not a force close but a sure and wait fire the media scanner to finish. Moving it to system fixes this small hiccup because those apps are scanned at boot instead of at media scanner. Hope that helps

[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
Can you provide instructions for moving LP to system? somewhat noob here...

thanks! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
..and it should get better as the battery and kernel settle. I've noticed after a couple full days after a kernel flash or whatever ..once you do a drain and charge a couple times it tends to get a little better
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
If it changes your views of this subject, I personally remove the launcher from the system/apps folder, place the latest adw ex in there, and re-zip before I flash everything and adw ex almost always force closes upon booting even though the app is located in the rom itself, no clue why because the resources should be scanned at boot as you said, I have noticed an inconsistency in my results though, like every 3 boot ups I get that fc, but I've experienced the same thing on every phone in my sig, not a big deal
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
You're going to need a root file explorer. I use root explorer. they aren't exactly cheap for a good one. I'll write up the instructions when I get home tonight.

If you use titanium backup, longpress the app and say convert to system app.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Only thing I can think of is every so often it needs to do a license check, which requires data of some kind. Adw shouldn't but ex does. So if it is unlocked before data and market license tokens are generated for that boot it could hang... Since this particular case isn't covered in the source code from what I can run our emulate I have a couple if experiments to try

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:

[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
So I've been winning some experiments and stepping, and it looks like market check (checks licenses and tokens with the market) runs after media scanner. I tried pushing it in front of my media scanner and none of my paid apps would work anymore saying this isn't licensed for your phone. So that looks to be what actually causes the hang. You can just say wait and it will start working after the checks. Modified the start up and caused that issue so I'm not doing that again

Edit: winning experiments... God what an I, charlie sheen?

Ran into a new issue with this approach...when updating to the new nightly, LP gets overwritten and I had to reinstall it and set up all of my screens/widgets again! Guess I'll just deal with the minor issue with LP force closing at reboot...unless anyone has any other ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
Im trying to update from a old nightly. One from about 5 months ago. Im getting contant reboot loops.

I tried both the signed cm7 and the latest nightly. Should i just wipe it.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
so much has changed in 5 months it would prob just be best to one click back to stock master clear then do the 3 button fix if you dont have it then follow the directions in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
i just updated from #59 which was my first nightly to #60 and i use launcher pro and what i did to make it so it doesnt force close and everything is to have rom manager download the new nightly then reboot into recovery then wipe cache and dalvic cache then flash the new nightly everything is working perfect.

[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Found a bug caused by the addition of the prevent_power_key permission which was added along with the ability to use the power key to control the camera shutter. In short, every time I would press the menu button in dolphin mini the browser would crash. I checked the error log, which I have uploaded here:

http://db.tt/R4RI8DH

Now, I don't know why the menu function would need this permission as it has nothing to do with the power key, so I have to assume it's due to the way this addition was written. Checking the gerrit code review for this feature shows several comments referring to similar crashes, which were since patched. If you google the permission's name (or just search xda) you'll see that it has caused problems on other cm7 devices, and not just with dolphin mini.

My question is, since we're not supposed to submit bug reports for nightlies, who do I contact so this issue can be fixed? I thought about emailing the author listed on gerrit but didn't want to impose. Just trying to do this the proper way.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I had the same thing with Dolphin HD. I wasn't sure what caused it but that does make sense as to elbow I hit the button when I was actually trying to turn up the volume (had it in landscape and had it turned upside down).

On build 60, my headphones are not detected even after reboot. Flashed back to 59 and all is well.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Glitch V11 causes this. It's a BLN issue. I flashed Escapists kernel (and turned on BLN with BLN Control) and the issue is gone. That's why BLN was taken out of CM Settings.

[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
aha thanks for telling me about this. i would never have guessed. I wonder why the dev of that kernel is done with it if it still has issues but moving on. what is your opinion of this kernel you are talking about and is it as good as all the commonly used ones aka glitch and platypus. Im saying commonly used because to be honest ive never heard of the kernel you mentioned. Plus where to i get it?

EDIT Im leaving what i wrote above there for two reasons

1. so you can see how dumb i am

2. plz answer this (I wonder why the dev of that kernel is done with it if it still has issues [glitch])

I FIGURED OUT THE ESCAPIST WAS THE DEV NOT THE KERNEL NAME LOL
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yeah Escapists kernel is called Le Kernel Du Jour, but I dislike the name :P

Not sure why Glitch is "finished" because I had too much trouble with it. That's why I switched to Escapists. It's a great and speedy kernel. On the #4 build, it lagged until I changed the governor, not sure if that's a problem anymore. It's an amazing kernel though. It used to be the most popular and it's still the best in my opinion. Hope that helped :)

Escapist's kernel #6 gave me the phone!PC screen. Currently on glitch, but I really miss bln.

[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
If you've been following the escapists thread for quite while, as I'm sure some of us here have that splashscreen has always been there and the escapist has put in a lot of hard work and effort with it. Not kind to see you slightly slandering his work while calling someone a noob at the same time, even if your just "poking." It was actually quite funny the brick splash in the hay day, not a scare, more of a "hey I can't read through anything, lets flash and moan til flaming sets it all aflame."

No disrespect

Scare no; signature.

If I painted a portrait would you sign the bottom and present it as yours?

Cheap wouldn't be the word, scroll back x amount of pages, it was always just a good laugh to see that splash.

Heh I'm not a rude fellow, I just have a lot of respect for the Escapist and all he's done since the beginning ,maybe on the slight defense, considering I just landed in hawaii for vacation and drank a little, not an excuse tho on my part.

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Well, first of all, Glitch kernel is still actively being develop. The final for V11 is there because people wanted to try V11 early so he released a preliminary version of V11 first so he added final now because this is the actual finished V11.

Work is still being done for newer versions.

As for your issues, not sure what they are but I have played with most Roms and Kernels and this is by far the best I have seen. It gets me the highest OC as well.

With Escapist I ended at 1.4 not fully stable while with this one I can do 1.6Ghz and if I were to select 1.7Ghz as my only speed (it does 1.7 and deep sleep only) then I can be stable at 1.7Ghz as well.

hey you could go back to stock then root your phone then install shoot it and take a screenshot of the wallpaper but im not sure about your question

I'm sure you can do it. Get a stock ROM and take the live wallpapers out of /system/spp and throw it into hte same place in CM7. Unfortunately, I deleted my old collection of ROMs from the Eclair days so I can't give it to you.

Battery Life

Hi, many thanks to this forum in particular. I LOVE the CM7 for the captivate but have to go to the 2.3.3 that has been released. I cannot handle the poor battery life that seems to be eluding the developers.

Again, many thanks, I will keep watching to see if this works out - otherwise, I am going to a Samsung SII to "fix" my problems....

Oh, and so you know, I already am aware that the 2.3.3 isn't as good as CM7 2.3.4.

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Thesandlord:
58 gave me huge problems, GPS stopped working and multiple FCs. So I decided to flash back to the RC1, but doing so broke a lot of stuff (I think data or datadata got filled somehow). Factory reset fixed it. Battery life is amazing on the RC, not sure why it is so bad on the nightly comparatively.

The last I heard it will probably be in about 40 years. But there is a 0.00000001% chance it wis release in about 10 minutes. And that percentage is not accurate.. Because I don't feel like making that many zeros

There is... CM7 RC1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1143063

I've been using CM7 since back in March, and it has been nothing but improvements and satisfaction since then. :)
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
+1 here. I started when it was first leaked and even in the beginning it was stable other than no data or barely any data, no camera, no extras at all. Then BOOM things started happening pretty darn quickly and it has been more stable and smoother than ANY i9000 rom and quicker. Ya so every once in a while during nightlies pre rc1 there was some fixes that broke other things but it usually was fixed in the next nightly. For ME it doesn't matter too much but the ONLY thing that can be better is battery life as compared to to other roms (i9000 or i897 froyo or gingerbread) but I have two batteries and usually can make it a full day +/- 12 hours before swapping out the battery.

I have two i897 phones, one runs CM7 nightlies and the other is running Apex 8.2 with the i897 bootloaders right now. Guess WHICH ONE is my daily driver? Not that the Gingerbread roms arent good and are better that the froyo roms and especially eclair roms BUT CM7 has more BUILT IN features, runs smoother at 1.5 Ghz Escapist Kernel #6, nightly #59. It JUST runs without the lag of the i9000 gingerbread roms after the few days. So not trying to sell it but just giving MY PERSONAL opinion and reasons.

Yea, you can't praise this awesome ROM enough. It's officially supported by CM now, which means it is no longer an experiment, it's serious now, and if you ask me, it's already more stable than JV-anything 2.3.4. Im not switching anytime soon.

Thanks to Shaolin for the settings in voltage control. I can ALSO use up to the 1.6Ghz but I will still have a freeze or reboot at least once every 4-5 hours. But at 1.5 I have no issues EVA. ALSO thanks to CM7, on my other phone with the same batch of 1007 I can also get that high when I had CM7 on it but it is more of my test phone now and can only OC/UV to 1.4 pretty stable.

Not trying to be a buzzkill or anything..

And I understand the rules for "no ETA"

However, Still having an older nightly build running and loving CM7 in general.

I sometimes wonder if there will ever be a "stable, complete" version of CM7.

Or if CM7 is only going to remain experimental until 2.4 comes out.. and then 2.4 is going to be "experimental" until 2.5.

I mean.. code can be tweaked endlessly modified ect.
