a) zip can only be flashed with CWM3.x, there are no ROM's that use CWM3.x for captivate yet, so we require flashing an initial kernel first--also, it's a bit safer to make sure they're on a properly working kernel

b) efs backup is provided to make sure your efs is brought over and backed up

c) we are converting from the totally useless BML partition layout used by Samsung to the MTD partition layout used by almost every other device to make the device run a bit better (this is actually why your device will be identified as a nexus s now when you plug it in)

d) modems are always flashed separately when it comes to cyanogenmod, this is probably the only one that even provides a way to flash a modem as part of the installation
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
i will be flashing this at work....gotta feed the addiction
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
Flash went fine! Applied DG's 3button combo fix, tested it a few times to make sure and it works wonderfully. Just not got my homescreens how I had it previously.

Overall pretty smooth so far, just looking for what I can do with it now. Anyone got a nice, easy google voice calling method? Hopefully they integrate it soon!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
glad you like it, donations will help the team a lot, but a simple thanks is plenty nice.

if the package you use in ODIN has a different sbl.bin it will change it, but nothing in the directions requires flashing a new sbl.bin (or even flashing back to stock). SBL.BIN WILL NOT BE TOUCHED IF YOU JUST FOLLOW EXACT INSTRUCTIONS

when opening camera, switch to camcorder and then switch back, it'll work fine (though pictures taken in portrait mode are rotated 90 degrees to the left, but not in landscape for some reason)

google voice works fine, just use the app and set it to default for all your calls or just use the app directly. if you're referring to SIP calling, the options are available in call settings, but gvoice is a VOIP technology, SIP is a whole different type of technology. for more information, look up providers like SIPgate
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
For those asking about why no zip install, this is not a standard flash. In trying this you are taking a larger risk than normal.

Take your time and read. Follow the instructions. Know what you are getting. Into

How can I get the facebook that is build into android that syncs. (Not the facebook in the market)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I believe on first boot after gapps flash it is an option
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
No that one is just facebook for android from the market
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
I'm pretty sure you just install Facebook from the market. I know you don't want the app to sync, but I think it adds Facebook to the accounts list if it's not already there when you install it.

Edit: I know the Captivate had Facebook on the list prior to installing the Facebook app, but I don't notice any difference really between that and just installing the app so it shows up on the accounts list. If it was something Samsung specific, then you aren't going to get it in CM7. CM7 isn't a modded Samsung ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
facebook sync has been disabled as of 2.3.3 for nexus s (and likely our devices as well) because they're actually violating google's terms of service with it. you'll need to wait for facebook to update their app to fall in line with google's terms of service.
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
I bought my jig on ebay. really good quality.

[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Oh really? I never heard that. I have the Facebook app installed and Facebook shows up on my sync list. Seems like that works just as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Radukk:
Stuck on infinite reboot when overwrite /system/fonts

Googled and found using reflashable.zip or font installer on Nexus S forum.

Oh my.. I have to go back stock and do all steps again. lol
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Ya but look at a froyo from that has facebook app installed and go to the sync list there are two different facebook accout options one of them was build into the rom and was there before facebook app was installed. The reason I like the one that is build in is I can pick and choose which contact I want to sync.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
How is the battery life? I was wondering because I started this whole thing with like nearly full battery and once I was booted up I only had life 40 percent left. I thought it was a lot of battery drain for installing a rom
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/google-disables-contact-sync-in-facebook-for-android-only-nexus/ possibly doesn't affect us

if you're going to try and change fonts, nandroid first and try using "font changer" for root in the marketplace

that's a part of samsung's touchwiz SNSAccount (social networking site account), not android.

battery life has been great for me (just don't leave wifi on, wifi seems to kill the battery, just enable it when you need it)
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Your image appeared as a broken link to me so I assumed you were talking about the reorientation of the phone. Compass is listed in known bugs as not being a 100% so I haven't really done much with Navigation, when I was on 20110304 I tried out Maps, it was pointing me in the wrong direction.
[Captivate Android Development] gleonard3:
Oh, sorry about the broken link. I guess I didn't make it public. I've fixed that now (I think). Anyway, it's a screenshot of GPS Status showing the compass stuck at North, and the Pitch/Roll at 000/000. These at least were functioning (maybe not necessarily accurate) in 20110304. Now these values appear to be offline.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
I second that. I am getting the same results with GPS status.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I am getting the same results also
[Captivate Android Development] socrated13:
I'm having this problem as well
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Is this the odin im suppose to be using?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989&highlight=odin

Because i dont have these options with that one: Flash cm7-DEVICE-initial-kernel.tar as pda using odin without auto-reboot and without re-partition?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Same here. It worked well on the last build as well. Not the latest.
[Captivate Android Development] jellysweep:
You are looking for this one...

http://www.mediafire.com/?s683r1y1lz5pifj

Link was in the comments of the youtube video fyi. There are links for most of the files in there.
[Captivate Android Development] Thnikk:
I found a flashable zip of it that puts it in system/app so you can theme it, I'll post it later.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
OK tested outside - The GPS is not getting used at all. Something is messed up in that department with the latest build! Maps will give me AGPS location but its not even triggering the GPS. I don't see the flashing icon in the status bar.

Has anyone tested with the 09 build?
[Captivate Android Development] jellysweep:
Is that what most of the custom roms do? That would be awesome. Thanks. Do you happen to have a way to get battery percentage displayed also?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Use Odin 1.7 from this link http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=186
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Anyone have the APK to the free xda application. My market isn't showing a lot of applications since i started using CM7. And the version on my phone keeps force closing.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Have you tried settings>applications and doing clear data on the XDA app? Most of the time when I keep getting FC, that clears it up. Do the same for your market, you should be getting most if not all apps. If anything else, use Titanium Backup to Force Attach an application to your market.
[Captivate Android Development] wonner:
I don't think so. I installed the VA Green version from this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942392 It works great.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Yup i tired both of those.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Thats a mod version. we were referring the the original one that comes with the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] hkk:
I was able to get a location with 10mts accuracy in maps, indoors next to a window. But also, the gps on my phone had always worked, no matter which rom.
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
So this might be a n00b question, maybe not. Does the CM7 '20110310' update include all of the fixes made in updates '20110309' and '20110304'? Or will I need to install each subsequent update by itself?
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
I would think it includes all the fixes
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Yes, it contains everything. Just flash the latest update.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
If you're not on CM7 yet; Don't you have to flash the inital first... then the update?
[Captivate Android Development] Phateless:
You flash the kernel first (the initial flash) to get clockworkmod recovery 3 which is compatible with ext4 so you can install the rom.

If you don't do this I'm pretty sure it won't boot.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Yes, but the way he posed his question made sound like he had flashed the initial, and wasn't sure whether flashing the latest update would bring him up to date.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
The question was only about the update...so it should be save to think the person already has CM7 on their phone. But yes if you don't have CM7 installed the initial is what is needed first.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
We were talking about the initial package, not the kernel.

Also, you need cwm3 because android 2.3 requires it, not because it's compatible with ext4.
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
I'm am already on CM7 :D

Thanks guys for answering my question so quickly.
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
just flashed this on my cappy and I must say I am impressed with it so far...
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
compass/magnetometer has been disabled to prevent issues (phone no longer locks orientation when going into landscape mode using apps like skymap or google navigation). the output in old builds was wildly off as it wasn't being properly offset... Unhelpful is trying to sort the math and proper offsets, but Samsung doesn't use a true driver and seems to speak to the magnetometer through an unusual method that I don't quite understand (even with Unhelpful's explanation!). this seems to be a bigger thing to tackle than he expected though as he's missing some crucial information about the yas529 compass that doesn't seem to be found anywhere.
[Captivate Android Development] Thnikk:
The one I used was actually in that thread. It was called stock and looks like the samsung themed one without the mic in the screenshot, but it's actually a flashable zip that installs stock swype (the one you'd be getting from installing beta) to system/app. Download is here. From there you can install these.
[Captivate Android Development] hkk:
Same here.
[Captivate Android Development] delutedsoul23:
Yea I'm getting the hotspots error too...just noticed it five minutes ago
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
I know most people complain about the battery life with CM7 but mine has actually gotten better.

for most of my day I'm in a signal poor region that ate up my battery with Samsung ROMs - it was God awful. I'd lose 15% per hour on standby with no activity. 4 hours gone and you're more than halfway done ...yikes. and yes... this is tested over months... it wasn't just a single bad rom.

Anyways, my phone has more charge at the end of the day.

I suspect CM7 may be better at power saving in poor signal regions.
[Captivate Android Development] Clyzm:
Anyone knows if I'm able to flash the stock Samsung camera apk file on this? Will it break anything?

Vignette works, but I really was a fan of the stock Samsung camera app.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
You almost certainly can't. It almost certainly depends on the Samsung framework, which is obviously not in CM.

Also, v2.4 of my oc kernel is up, in case any one wants it.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
For those of you that are needing droidwall on CM7

the iptables is outdated.

try this one...

not sure where I got it but it works to get droidwall working again.

put it in /system/bin/

in first version of cm7 from 20110304

I also needed to create a modules folder in /system/lib/

and then run

ln -s /system/lib/modules /system/lib/modules/`uname -r`

but with the update 20110310 this is no longer needed.

EDIT: REMOVED .....NOT NEEDED ANYMORE
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
already known and fixed in github. new build will be uploaded once confirmed working by atinm.

the 03.10 build has this iptable in it by default (in fact it's what broke wifi and usb tether) and using this version will most likely kill it for anyone not running 03.10... reverting it is the only way to fix wifi and usb tether (for now?)
[Captivate Android Development] Clyzm:
Ah, shame. Thanks for the info. Vignette is good enough.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
For some reason after I updated to 3.10 droidwall still segfaulted.

So I just re-copied this iptables and it works again.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
well if you could find out the source for that iptable, it could potentially be included. the CM iptable is included in the 03.10 build and the standard "external" iptable is included in all other builds and you say neither works. but 03.10 also breaks wifi and usb tether, so if you could find out the source maybe we could have the best of both worlds
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Latest nightly is up - hopefully should fix some issues related to iptables. But would be good if we could find the source.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
File name for upload has changed to the form "update-cm-7-XXXXXXXX-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip".

since the phone cannot charge while its off yet, has anybody had any overheating issues from charging or others problems from being on charging all night? wouldnt think it would really matter that much, especially since you can turn off wifi, radios, etc., but just wanted to make sure.

Currently charging, phone is cold. Texting too. Wifi off, but just turned on for the hell of it. All is good.

Yes data works fine it's the 2g/3g toggle that is a problem, just kill data before toggling between 2g/3g and you will be fine.

Did you install nexus s drivers

You can not get h signal if you did not have it enabled prior to flash

[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/captivate/ is us. When we post nightlies, they will be under teamhacksung's project. Others are using the code from the teamhacksung repositories, but we are not checking them.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Why would someone fork the exact same project...

Seems like this could cause issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you can't use samsung dialer codes on CM7/AOSP. both drives couldn't have mounted as CD's, because, honestly both drives can't be mounted. Mine shows up as a single "removable disk" every time I insert it into a windows machine.

because some people don't think that others will find their work and think it's ok to post it to public places without thinking of the repercussions.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Looks like a bug in handcent.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
which is why he was asked not to, but did it anyway.... make sure it says by Team Hacksung, or atinm, codeworkx or coolya on the upload for the supported ones....

Also, I noticed that Android Market doesn't work on my newly imaged CyanogenMod 7 on my captivate. Is there a fix for this?
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
You'd think with longer charging the battery would last longer. Shame.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Is there a difference between "update-cm-7-03102011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip" and "cm7-captivate-update-20110310.zip" ?

The file sizes are different.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:

For drivers read the q&a for cm7 and on the official website there is some instruction. You'll need sdk manager
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
yes, the date. the changelog. its newer, fixies issue with iptables, tethering. or maybe I'm missing what you're asking?

Oh yeah, ignore that the date says 20110311 - it is March 11 somewhere in the world even though it was really build 20110310. Usually just pick the newest update file. We will not put up files that are no good. :)

I am able to get 32hrs with light usage

over 24hrs with moderate to heavy usage.

[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
The nightly version is more recent and is how files will now be shown. See changelog for details but its under the 20110311.zip change
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Wasn't me, in case you were, wondering. even my kernel doesn't use newer code than what's in the official releases.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
The way I read them I thought they were both march 10, so thats why I was wondering what the difference was since there wasn't a changlog in the thread on cyanogen
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
That is all that is in the changlog I don't see the 20110311 your talking about.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
geeze, people, just install whichever one is newest. if it has captivate in the name and is new, guess what, it works... use it.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
I did say I screwed up the date - it was late last night (early morning here) when I posted the 09 and it took the 10 date. So I figured what the hell, rather than confuse things by putting up another 10, put up 11 because I don't foresee another release tomorrow unless something major gets fixed (like headset or compass or something battery related!). Sorry for the confusion - just install the latest and pay no attention to the zips behind the curtain.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Ya just install the newest and if u want to see the changelog, the op has it on the very bottom of the first post of the thread. U were right about the log on the cm site tho

If your question is can you restore your nandroid of something else over to get back, no

Please read instructions and take your time to learn. Only way off of this is odin flash stock with repartition.

If you are on it already and want to try the update, run nandroid, flash update

I asked earlier in the thread if I could post stock nightlies as well, and they said no. that's why I wanted to point out that it wasn't me sneaking around behind their backs.

Oh, and atinm, any new code in the kernel for the latest build? I didn't see anything on twitter, but I wanted to make sure I'm up to date.
