Anyone have an issue when downloading a large file over wifi? Seems to pause when my screen goes off, but I have wifi sleep policy set to never.
[Captivate Android Development] acmcelwee:
I've often had that problem when downloading the nightlies.

Edit: this was in response to the large files over wifi issue.
[Captivate Android Development] apbthe3:
I have this issue as well. Sometimes it works, usually it fails.
[Captivate Android Development] CptTwinkie:
Yes. It seems like the wifi stalls when the screen goes off. I've been setting my screen timeout to 20 minutes when I download large files. I don't like the battery drain though :/

[Captivate Android Development] Sarcoid:
I think this is caused by the CPU scaling down since the screen is off. I leave my screen on too to do updates. I've just accepted that this is how I'll do updates.

Sorry, whats the difference between this Rom and CyanogenMod 7 for the Samsung Captivate :: V7.1.0 (9 Oct 2011) Rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
The V7.1.0 (9 Oct 2011) ROM is just an officially named nightly. Every now and then when the nightlies reach a new level of stability and features they'll bring those out for people. The newest nightlies are far better than that ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] apbthe3:
To elaborate a bit on what the previous poster said, the nightlies are automatically compiled with the newest updates, meaning they have the newest code but have also never been tested until after they are released. New releases could make things better or they could make things worse. That being said, I have yet to install a nightly that made my phone unusable, and even if you did you can just reinstall an older one or restore a backup.

The latest nightly (181) is very stable. If you're curious, it's definitely worth checking out.
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
had this problem also and used the same alternative, also used v6 scharger to bulletproof opera, that worked, but I still wasnt satisfied because opera shouldnt get interrupted regardless....then it hit me. What if the lmk or oom settings are causing this?

So, i tried a lower setting (less agressive) , much less agressive like default samsung settings and BAM!, no more interrupted downloads!! Even when screen is off!!

using deadline or cfq and ondemand, w/ no screenstate scaling. (not sure if screenscaling matters)

i hope im not the only one this works for because this was the most annoying problem ive ever had with my capT.

[Edit] I realized after the confusing replies I got to this that I posted in the wrong thread. I was thinking I was posting in the glitch kernel thread. My apologies for posting off topic. [/edit]

While this is not exactly related to your issue I want to share my experience. When I flashed v13 (I was on rc2 before that) my oc/uv became unstable. Graphic glitches, freezes, fc's, bootloops, yellow screens, and my favorite sleep-death-yellow-bootloops. Upping the 100mhz voltage a little helped the sleep death problems but it was general crap. I was even getting lag and poor benchmarks. What I noticed was that scrolling very fast could cause a reboot. I had been using the sio schedular because it made scrolling much smoother. My brain linked these two occurrences so I switched to deadline. Instantly all was well and stable and I set a personal benchmark record. This leads me to one question. What did six optimize that caused so much havoc with sio? And will it ever be fixed?

Also I fear sleep death and have not lowered my 100mhz uv even though my battery life suffers in standby

[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
they are the low memory killer and out of memory settings. i find the easiest way to change them is with rom toolbox free from market, you can also use v6 supcharger to do this (a little more complicated).

if you are asking what my settings are i am using the mild settings. these settings are also known as auto memory manager settings as in rom toolbox. (make sure to save current as custom if it isnt the same as one of the presets just in case you want to switch back)

note: i am also using pikachus Thunderbolt tweaks wich will reset to its lmk settings upon reboot, so if you want to use thunderbolt you have to flash the addon for a lower memory killer setting or you will have to reset to your prefferred settings with rom toolbox after each reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
"what did six optimize" - what are you refering to?

you must be referring to some crazy awesome battery life!

i say this because i have pretty awesome batt life and have never uv'ed any of the lower clockspeeds after reading that doing so will cause some of the issues you hav had. i use cfq because the batt life and Thunderbolt optimizes it to act more like noop, which is (from what i read) better than deadline performancewise.

i play alot of graphics intensive games ie shadowgun, riptide, and nfs hot pursuit, and have found that when overclocking, raising the minimum clockspeed to 200 (uses same voltage as 100 so no affect on batt life) seems to smooth things out a bit.

please note: when NOT using performance gov(as i only do for gameplay), raising the minimum clock speed seems to afect scrolling negatively.

to be clearer, i use cfq always(with Thunderbolt) and on demand gov with no OC for daily use, and when gaming i use performance w/overclock and 200 as minmum voltage. you really cant expect to get optimium hd game performanc and awesome batt life. i've tried just about evry configuration (twice), which is why i dont mind switching some settings and then rebooting to revert or just switching back settings.

another note: batt life and heat generation on games has gotten better since using cfq with Thunderbolt even when oc'ing and using performance gov WOW!
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
the nightlies have stopped since 181 does this mean that the next one will be ICS(CM9)????!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I've never used Thunderbolt before but the benefits look impressive. How compatible is it with Glitch V13 on the latest CM7 nightlies? I know Glitch V13 includes screenstate scaling and I suppose some of the others which could cause conflicts I "assume". I'm actually using a Kang build that includes the MIUI battery bar, etc. but I don't think that should matter.

I rarely play games but if using Thunderbolt could increase battery life and performance (a tough combo) then it is worth considering.
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
No, the buildbot is broken or something like that. They haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.

[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
about batt life the difference isnt huge so dont expect too much

but the difference is there, mostly in performance. i dont worry too much about batt life as it is mostly affected by using or not using wifi, calls, and playing games etc and wether or not the screen is on. I have never seen crazy awesome batt life when i am playing games for hours and or using wifi/3g/calls etc. (getting a spare battery is the only sure way to get plenty of battery) lithium ion technology is still young.

I dont think there is a SSS script in Thunderb but it looks like it is designed to work with at least the standard cm7 kernel as well as any other sgs variant rom/kernel(if you read the actual script[system tweak] inside the installer file it mentions cm7 a couple times)

edit: just checked the latest Tbolt does have a ssscaling script so i guess you could just delete Tbolt's script in etc/init.d folder and use glitch's, but like you said i wouldnt try using both unless you are obssessed with tweaking and just want to see the result, but it doesnt sound like a good idea. I could be wrong about that. Mybe check with pikachu to be sure.

I will say that i have tried v6 and universal tweaks and picachus tweaks seem the most complete and effective to me personally(pikachus zip actually includes some part of v6)

Thanks Pikachu and Zepplinrocks you are awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
Actually it's pretty darn good... The only major feature that isn't working yet is video recording (which I hardly ever use anyway)
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
if you are wondering i am not currently using the nightlies(waiting for cm9) because there is still an issue with accellerometer lag(hopefully fixed in cm9) affecting gameplay for any game using the tilt-meter :(

i loved cm7 but am pretty content with serenitykk4 rc6 w/cornkernel

add to last post: i dont think cm7 (nightly) depends on any init.d scripts so you could delete all scripts in init.d and install Tbolt tweaks and start fresh from there

thats what i did with no probs before switching to kk4 wich was also bfore Tbolts last (major) update.( which is why i not sure about the screenscaling thing)

someone please correct me if im wrong
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
+1 it is and can be used as a daily driver (if we are talking about the PRE-CM9 Version). Almost everything g works well, all my apps (over 200 hundred of them) work as normal. There are a few apps from the market not ready for ICS like Facebook but that is not a rom problem. It is and has been stable enough to run at 1.3Ghz -100 volts on all voltages for me. There may be some things in it like facelock (which I haven't tried) that don't seem to work but that is from the nexus phone I think. Plus if you are on CM7 you can easily switch back via a nandroid backup that you restore twice. So switching from CM7 to cm9-pre ICS and back can be done with very little effort.

What? no hardware video acceleration is definitely a deal breaker. (for me anyway)
[Captivate Android Development] CptTwinkie:
Sorry, when I heard talk of oc/uv and replied, I mistakenly though I was posting in the glitch kernel thread. When you ask what I meant by "what did six optimize" I was referring to sixstringsg who is a dev on the project and I was asking about specific changes that would affect the sio scheduler.

Sorry for the confusion and posting off topic. Although, one might argue that, without nightlies there isn't really a topic to post about.

People are going to start complaining soon. I realize ics is the priority now. Still...
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
1. Nobody has the right to start complaining about not having a brand new, shiny installer every single night.

2. It's due to failed hardware that must be replaced. Last I checked, the CyanogenMOD team does not have infinite money or time.

3. If you're that hard up for something shiny, switch over to makelegs' Kang builds.
[Captivate Android Development] musicalmindz:
So my battery drained from 100->77% overnight and I checked battery usage and 55% was Cell stanby and 23% was Phone Idle and 11% was Gmail. Anything seem wrong with that?

I've cycled my battery stats, installed latest CM and considering going to Glitch now to see if I can fix this...

have a weird issue. anyone update their cm7 nightly build and not able to play avi files or wmv files anymore? i tried the stock player and zplayer and no dice:(
[Captivate Android Development] singlebeam:
Has been my daily driver since build 1. Never had any problems with it. You're missing out!

It started at near perfection (in the eyes of the user). Just think of what you can look forward to when they finally DO integrate video accel! ... Though I honestly wouldn't know the difference because it looks and performs beautifully as is.
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
Do you play any accellerometer based games like riptide gp if so have you noticed any accelerometer lag? its really the only thing stopping me from giving it a whirl. Everything works the way its supposed to now(not as good speedwise as CM) making going to ics even harder. :(
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
You don't have hardware acceleration on your CM7 captivate, so why complain if a pre-alpha build of CM9 for captivate doesn't have it yet?

Besides, the only reason it's not included yet is because the Nexus S ICS source hasn't been released, which contains the updated GPU drivers necessary to enable hardware acceleration on our phones (SGS line and NS have the same GPU chip).
[Captivate Android Development] Captain_Nero:
He clearly said "Video acceleration" YouTube and movies on ICS are a bit choppy, were as on CM7 they play fine.

*Get Chance and Luck*
[Captivate Android Development] Malorkus:
Today's update of Google Maps seems to have fixed that horrible vibration-crash bug introduced for CM7 in the previous version.

edit: Nevermind! It's still there, stick to 5.11 :(
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
difference btween "hardware acceleration",

and "video accelleration"

In the op for ICS/CM9 it says in known issues that "hardware video acceleration" is not possible. I geuss they are reffering too flash not working on ics yet. Maybe they are referring to the unreleased gpu sources for hardware acceleration.

That makes two reasons. No flash and no hardware accell. :(

Just started playing backstab hd

Awesome game!

So heres the question

Do any of these hd gameloft games actually use flash?

If not then I guess the only thing

im waiting for is the source Gpu code to be released and ported for the CapT.

Side note: if you read my last posts im not using CM right now just patiently waiting for the shiny new CM9!!!

Question:

I'm on serendipity 7... 2.3.3 rom. I know the instructions say to flash to 2.1/2.2 first... However, can I go straight to CM7 from my clockworkmod on this 2.3.3?

(I know you probably get asked dumb questions like this alot, thank ahead of time)
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Should work. Worst that can happen is that you soft brick, then have to flash safe jf6 (the one without bootloaders or 3 button fix), cwm then this :)
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
Yes. In fact, I've never gotten the installer to actually work from 2.2/2.1; it always (for me) bootloops and goes haywire at recovery. Every time I've installed from GB...I've never had a single problem.
[Captivate Android Development] MadGoat:
Wow,

I cant get the damn market to work... even if i manage to get my damn google account linked in... the market flips to server error every time I open it...

I was impressed with how quick it flashed and booted though! Just doesnt work worth a crap!

Oh wait... that was because I had to find a "gapps.zip" before I could attempt to add my account.... (No link ... ummm... anywhere?)

So whats the secret? (already tried the hokey pokey .... no dice)

Oh and if im to add gapps via rom manager... I selected the i9000 cwm manual and tried to load the roms selection... but it wants to update first! (imagine that). Hence market pukes all over that plan too... grrr

anyone else get the issue with 181 build that their avi and wmv files won't play anymore! tried videoplayer and zplayer:(
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Flash doesn't work on ICS because Adobe hasn't released an updated version yet. Nothing to do with hardware accleration. That has to do with the unreleased gpu sources.
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
Yes I know, but, It actually says no "hardware- accelerated video" and nothing is mentioned in the op about the unreleased gpu sources, or ics flash, so maybe they just put both in the same category, I dunno.

As far as going to ics im not in a hurry. All of my games and sensors are working fine w/KK4. I know its great but I know in due time it will unviel its true awesomeness.(and hopefully accell lag will be fixed as well) and Im not complaining, just hoping! :)

It really sucks that cm7 for captivate is a port from i9000.

Im guessing thats why the accell lag.

:(
[Captivate Android Development] shorty920:
Hi I have a situation on my hand and was hoping someone could help me. And please don't bash me if it's been asked before as I looked at about 25 pages and didn't see a solution to my problem.

I am coming from Apex 9.3 so it's already GB and it's on a 1900 bootloader. From what I've read, that's do-able since we just need CWM3. I tried to use Odin-one click to master clear and flash back to stock froyo, however Odin wouldn't recognize my captivate in Download Mode no matter what I did. So I went back to trying to flash using CWM 3.0.2.8 (darkcore). I did factory reset, turned off lagfix, wiped cache and tried to install the latest CM7 zip from sd card, but I always get an error about 3 seconds into installing it.

The error looks like "assert failed:" and then a bunch of text ("getprop" is said a alot) and ends with "(Status 7)."

Since I can't seem to flash back to stock froyo, I really don't know what to do right now. Can someone please help me get to CM7? I'm tired of all the problems and issues from these other leaked custom ROMs. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
Right click Odin-run as administrator, have Odin running before plugging phone in, try main USB port, try rebooting PC then doing these steps, try a different cable....don't give up. One thing you can do also is go to Samsung.com and download kies mini, open it as Admin. , then try Odin while kies is running, that should get your phone recognized. I hope you get it quick.
[Captivate Android Development] shorty920:
Thanks for the quick response man, I'll reboot and then try the Samsung kies method you said. I haven't seen that one suggested anywhere else. Also since you didn't mention it, I take it that since I'm getting a CWM3 flash error, the problem would be fixed with a clean slate on 2.1/2.2?

EDIT: Just to be more specific about the Odin issue, when my phone is plugged in on debug mode, Odin sees my phone. However whenever I am in Download mode, Odin can't see it. I tried rebooting and it didn't fix it and I'm installing Samsung Kies to see how that goes now.

EDIT2: Ok well funny thing, while I was installing Kies, Odin decided to recognize my phone. I put my phone into download mode from the CWM3 menu on home screen. At first Odin didn't recognize, but then it saw it for some reason. Just set my cap back to stock :). Will start putting on CMW and rooting. Hopefully will be on CM7 before I get to bed. Thanks for help!
[Captivate Android Development] kschumake83:
I'm pretty sure you should NEVER use 3 button fix Odin when on gb boot loaders it will end up in a hard brick you have to jf6 first and then flash 3 button fix if you need it.
[Captivate Android Development] shorty920:
Just got cm7 running now. Using the glitch kernal with voodoo sound as well. First thing I wanna say is that this rom is smooth as hell. Second, I installed the Google apps package and yet the market still doesnt let me download apps and it fc a lot. And third there isn't an icon for opening app drawerch which is annoying. Aside from that great rom
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
There is an icon... I'm doing this from memory so I could be incorrect, forgive me if so (running ICS now).. long press on the home screen, select "launcher actions" or something, and then the "open/close app drawer" setting... Again, could be incorrect... But it's something like that.

EDIT: Found these instructions with a google search, so if mine were wrong try this.

On an empty place on your desk:

menu -> add > personnalized shortcut (or something like that) Then:

Choose your activity:launcher action -> open/close application menu.

You can change your icon if you want.

Then, just drag your new shortcut to the place you want.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
Nice to see you seem to have finally gotten it working. Just a couple of suggestions/observations:

1. The "getprop" error

CyanogenMOD is not one installer for all phones. They have to release versions that are very specific to individual makes/models of phones. To ensure that you aren't accidentally trying to flash a version of CyanogenMOD onto the wrong model of phone, the first thing the installer does is check your build.prop file to see what kind of phone that says you have.

You were coming from Apex (which, incidentally, is what I was also coming from), which is an i9000-based ROM. Because it's based on the i9000 firmware, the build.prop file says your phone is an i9000. The CyanogenMOD installer is reading your build.prop, seeing "i9000" instead of "captivate", and crapping out. The solution is to either manually edit your buld.prop file (not recommended), flash any Captivate-based ROM (Fusion, Pinnacle, Illuminance, etc.) first and then flash CM7, or use Heimdall/Odin to flash any stock Captivate ROM.

2. I strongly advise that, if you're already on something Gingerbread, then you should never flash anything Froyo/Eclair ever again. As someone else pointed out, if you happen to get one of those one click packages with bootloaders (or, more horrifically, only ONE of the two bootloaders), welcome to hard brick city. There's absolutely no benefit to having a stock Froyo/Eclair package vs. a stock Gingerbread package, no matter what you're trying to do with your phone. Plus, the custom kernels that can be used with the Gingerbread package (boog's, Corn, Samurai, etc.) have a much newer version of CWM recovery that makes it WAAAAAAAAY easier to flash CM7. While I recognize that the (outdated) install instructions for CM7 say to come from Froyo/Eclair...I've always had errors doing it that way. Never had a problem with any flash I've done from a Captivate GB kernel w/CWM.

3. On the same note, there's even less benefit to using that "Master Clear" business. It's pretty much impossible for you to have anything on your internal SD card that will affect how your phone runs. Using "Master Clear" before you flash anything just creates more work (and hassle) for yourself. It's certainly very useful if you're going to sell your phone and want all your info off of it; otherwise, no need to ever use it.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

For the Market FC issue, it sounds like a bad flash. I'd suggest reflashing the gapps package. If that fails, upgrade to the newest version of the Market and see if that fixes the issue.
