thanks, i appreciate the input. i guess the only real question i have is whether or not formatting the system partition is encouraged, seeing as clicking master clear only formats the internal sd card then performs a factory reset, which only wipes the cache, dbcache, and data partitions. and also why it is encouraged to wipe the cache after doing a factory reset, seeing as the cache is wiped during the factory reset.
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Shaolin it worked perfectly fine!

/datadata at 23% after it all!

[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I had the same issue when I recently did a master clear. I expected /datadata to be out of space based upon what I have seen mentioned on this forum in the past. What I found was that my /cache partition was out of space. I rebooted to recovery, cleared my cache, and was able to continue re-installing apps. Unfortunately, in the meantime the market "restore" was finished and I ended up having to manually restore the missing apps, but that isn't difficult.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
This is a known issue since the initial release and is mentioned in the FAQ. If you want to toggle between 2G and 3G, you first have to turn off your data. As long as you turn off data first, you will be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I have heard that there are potentially 2 different versions/revisions of the SAMOLED panels used in Galaxy S phones with different color saturation. I can't imagine that every batch of panels is unique unless Samsung has issues with their yields and they are just picking the "best" panels that come out.

Assuming there are only a couple of different panels, it should be totally possible to do what you described, if anyone has the proper equipment to make a calibrated profile (there would have to be a profile for each panel). There are calibrated profiles for the Nexus One included, so there could be a calibrated profile for the Galaxy S (a calibrated profile for the Nexus S should work well).

has anyone gone from mosaic GB to this? how does battery life fare?
[Captivate Android Development] :
From my personal experience, the GB Roms are about the same but not comparable to the froyo roms.

since what date (or what nightly) did the default kernel of CM7 OC'd??? Just noticed when I flashed Nightly 8/15/2011 (#88) on my cappy from #83 >_<.

I'm super outdated........

EDIT: ooh boy....I think I should post this on Q&A....moderators are super active these days..... >_<
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
Apologies if I'm missing the obvious here, but where is the FAQ you mention?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Today's nightly #88 is the first with the OC kernel. So you are just on time :)

Hey CyanogenMod fans, check Engadget. There's an article about our mod. Not gonna say anything more, but I'm sure you will ALL like it!

EDIT: You'll have to scroll down pretty far to see it, it was from 12:36 AM eastern time.
[Captivate Android Development] Jeff Kirvin:
I don't see the low power mode. Flashed the new nightly, turned off my phone, plugged in the power cable, and the phone booted up, just like previous CM7 builds. Left the cord plugged in, turned off the phone, volume buttons do not bring up the battery display. (They do nothing until the phone is turned on again.)

What am I missing?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Not sure.. I just updated this morning to the latest nightly (#89) and the first thing i did was power the phone off after it rebooted.. plugged in Power cable, and got battery charging icon.. BIG GREEN BATT symbol charging... she's working here 'mate:o

*EDIT* however, if your using a 3rd party kernel it will break that feature. I just flashed Glitch over stock kernel, and lost my ability to charge while powered off.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Yep yep....working with V12 for me too...we just need the kernel updated to keep those new features.

The OC to 1.3Ghz worked fine on the stock kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] techjeep:
Dock Audio...

I'm digging the new overclock features of the kernel, but the thing I'd really like to see added is dock audio support.

Atinm mentioned a while back, here, that he was thinking of putting it in since it would be equivalent to Voodoo Sound (needing a third party app to take advantage of it).

This is literally the LAST thing that is keeping me from running CM7 as stock. I use my car and desk dock daily for music output (my phone is my MP3 player), and it's an essential for me.

Any chance of this making it's way in?
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
so can anyone tell me whether or not it is necessary to format the system partition before flashing this rom? in this thread's instructions it says to perform a factory reset (wipes data, dbdata, and cache) and then, for some reason, to wipe the cache again. nothing about system. in other threads, like the one for the RC1 build of this rom, it says to wipe the system partition as well. seems like a big discrepancy.
[Captivate Android Development] techjeep:
If coming from another ROM, when in doubt, One-click back to stock and start from there.

This method works everytime: CM7 from scratch
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Right now the only thing missing to make CM7 simply perfect for me is tv out. I cannot think of anything else it needs to do...truly excellent!
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
the only thing keeping me from the stock kernel is no voodoo color... i dont like stock screen color values personally, everything else is great, although NEON acceleration might be pretty cool to include as well if not already
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
What I missed about this rom is the ability to lower the screen back light to less than 15, the screen is blinding at night.... now you have to used another kernel just to do that...
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
It is over in the Cyanogenmod.com forums: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24171-faq-cm7-on-the-samsung-captivate/

My apologies though, I thought it was also mentioned in the XDA Developers QA section which I thought used to be linked to from the OP. It appears that this information is harder to find than it once was.
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
I don't understand: if 100% bright is too bright for you at night, just set it to AUTO brightness and that takes it way down. Personally, I use 100% brightness whenever I can (only if charging) because everything just looks more vivid (on SAMOLED), and only turn it down to AUTO if it's annoying someone else.
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Are these builds the same as if you follow the instructions here?:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)

Because I am seeing similar features, but the build says GRJ90 not GRJ22

Are there multiple branches to build for the captivate? Or is it just one of the config files? Am I building a different branch?

I'm still learning git, and many other things.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
We also are on GRJ90. The OP title just has not been updated with it. We got it for our cappys the same time they did or approximately.

i always odin 1 click, master clear (which formats the internal sd card and performs a factory reset, which in turn formats data, dbdata, and cache), root, and install cwm, and then flash the rom. my question is, right before i install the rom zip in cwm, the instructions on this thread do not say to format the system partition they just say perform a factory reset and wipe the cache, whereas other instructions, like the ones for the RC1 build, say to also format the system partition. wondering if i need to. its a big difference.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
As you stated: odin 1 click, master clear, root, install cwm, and then flash the nightly of your choice. I have done it this way over and over and over again, and have not run into any problems. Enjoy...you won't be disappointed! :cool:

It's the same - I just hadn't updated the thread title.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
I haven't seen anyone else report problems with flashing 89, but I just upgraded friend's from 82 to 89 and totally lost radio. Tried to reflash 82 after wipe cache/dalvik + fix perm and it would soft-reboot after punching in pin. Reflashed again and got boot loops. Ended up doing a nandroid restore (back to mid-July) and it booted up fine (for now). Everything had always run stock kernel and radio. No funny business. Kinda weird. Anyone know of a cause for such silliness? Probably gonna do a wipe soon, but was simply glad to not have to do one in the middle of the work day.

#gremlins ???
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
Cool...no worries. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some magic repository of information! :D
[Captivate Android Development] techjeep:
I believe those instructions are if you are coming from a non-stock ROM, just to get rid of any dragons that may still be lurking.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Indeed :D
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
if i just plan on using the cwm update.zip on stock 2.1, and then flashing cm from there, is it necessary to root the phone first?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Nope, if you have cwm, it should install just fine.

I lost radio too after upgrade to 89 today. I just re-flashed the radio zip I wanted and it is all fine now.... yep, gremlins....
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Im saddened by the fact that a significant number of captivates (like my mom's) are unable to use i9000 modems, and therefor cannot use this rom. Probably never will unless compatibility with i897 modems is somehow achieved. Also along those lines is Audience chip support ever going to happen?
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
Audience chip support will happen when its firmware source is released.

Could you elaborate on the i9000 modems not working in certain captivates?
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Probably this issue,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864903
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Yep, that's the one. I hope this gets resolved eventually because a lot of phones will be stuck using cognition or such forever.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
My rev 1007 had issues with i9000 modems when I first tried them. I would get no service or if I did get service, it would drop off after a short time. For my phone, I found that flashing the modem twice from CWM recovery (with a reboot in between) would cause the modem to work correctly. I first read about this when someone else (I forget who) suggested it. This may not work for every Captivate, but I have found that it works on mine. It is definitely worth trying as it only takes a couple of extra minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Nice you found a work around. My first Captivate suffered from this issue horribly, it was a REV 1007 bought maybe a week after release. I sent it in for exchange and got a refurbed 1007 with no issues at all.

I doubt anyone is actively working on this issue. We started that discussion a long time ago, and the general opinion is to just exchange the phone via warranty through ATT. I know it doesn't do much good for those that have had their phones too long, but that's all we got.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Yeah, this phone is a 1006 model bought right at launch so its out of warranty. :( Flashing the modem twice does not seem to help. Oh well, cognition it is then.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I know you have probably tried them all, but my 1007 likes the JK4 modem fine here in the Midwest. I just flashed it over the JL3 today, due to JL3 taking a long time to connect to the data network (fine once it did, but) and in the hopes my memory of JK4 giving me better voice quality. JK4 only bombs on data for me, if I am in a low signal area for a long period. I work in a lead-lined cave, so I learned to disable the data network while at work, and it no longer locks on me. Most other JP* modems fail outright.

You sure do miss the audience when it is gone, but after a few days, you get used to the usual quality phones give you again :).
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
ummmm... you know there are captivate modems, right?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
But KB1 relies on the audience chip. Since CM7 does not support the audience chip yet (waiting on Samsung to release source), there are terrible call quality issues for the other person if you use KB1. I assume the leaked AT&T GB modems have the same issue since they would also use the audience chip.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I just read through that old thread and noticed that you did a lot of testing to try to get it working. I don't think the workaround that works for me works for everyone. So far I have only heard of a couple people that it works for. I think a similar method (double flashing the modem through odin) worked for some of the people who originally reported the issue according to some of the comments on the original thread.

My warranty is just about to expire, but since I can get it working using the double flash and I don't have any other issues with the phone (charge death, etc), I'll keep it until it is time to upgrade.

help with modem and over clock?

Hey guys. I'm in love with CyanogenMod

I just updated to the latest nightly.

Do I have the best modem for AT&T in New York?

I've seen posts about over clocking to 1.5ghz?! I'm stuck at 1000mHz with SetCPU?!

Can someone link me to:

1) the OC thread

2) the modem post?

I haven't been on XDA in a month, WOW I feel SO out of the loop all of a sudden!

CRAP.. forgot to mention I'm on a Samsung Captivate i897
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
@slydogjef77 your in the captivate thread for cn7, and so you don't really need to say you have a captivate. As for OC most custom kernels (glitch, platypus, and le kernel de jour) for cn7 support it. And for modems that varies on the device, location and stuff, so there is no best modem.

I am trying to go from MIUI to CM7 using ROM Manager. All seems ok as far as downloading but then when I say ok to reboot into CWM it reboots into CWM for a second then reboots into MIUI. I have ROM Manager 4.3.3.0 with CWM 2.x. I can reboot into CWM manually with no problem.

I'm probably doing something stupid but I don't know what.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
The stock kernel now includes OC up to 1.3 GHz. UV requires a separate app I believe, but is supported.
[Captivate Android Development] Thesandlord:
Yeah you don't even need setcpu to overclock, you can choose the Max and min frequencies in CyanogenMOD settings in the stock kernel now. UV still needs the voltage control app.

Random restarts?

Is anyone else experiencing random restarts with the most recent nightlies of CM7?

Thought it might've been JuiceDefender since I installed it the same time I flashed 88, that was causing the restarts, but I've flashed the last 3 nightlies and removed JuiceDefender and still getting some random restarts
[Captivate Android Development] musicalmindz:
Hey guys I am on RC1 right now and I've been hearing battery life is better in some of the more recent nightlies (maybe?) and was just wondering what everyone thought was the most recent stable one I should jump to.

Battery life for me is incredible now since nightly 83. Yesterday I still had a 40% charge after 17 hours.

BUT, it is important to say that when I first installed nightly 83 my battery life was horrible. It was so bad that my battery would be almost completely drained after about 6 hours. Looking at battery stats, I couldn't immediately see anything causing the problem.

I performed a factory reset on Friday and my battery life was okay (I am sure that downloading and installing all my apps, plus doing the configuration sucked some juice). Saturday I had over 50% battery life left after a full day of moderate use. Sunday I had over 70% battery life after a full day (but I was doing work on my car most of the day and only used the phone for a few short phone calls and background data). I did not charge Sunday night and ended up plugging my phone in to charge Monday morning, so I am ignoring Monday stats. Tuesday (as I said above) was 40% charge left after 17 hours and generally my battery drains much faster at work due to signal quality issues than it does when I am not at work.

Hey, I just wanted to ask this real quick, but for the last 2 days the Market has been crashing any time I try to update or install an app. I click to update and the update starts, promptly FCs the Market and then the app is gone from the My Apps list upon reopening. I have cleared data and cache on the Market, but still being a problem even though I have updated to 90 and install gapps every time I flash. I have also fixed permissions with ROM Manager, but that didn't help either

I'm considering flashing gapps separately, but I'm open to other suggestions. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] DJLinty:
This happened to me yesterday or the day before. Just try re-flashing the market apk or, if that doesn't work, try reflashing google apps or even the nightly itself.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks. Is the market apk stored in the gapps file?

Thanks, I did that and then had to go and install the new marketplace app that was posted a few weeks ago, I might be running into that gapps glitch that has happened before. Now I just have to go app hunting to update the apps that crashed before, they don't show up on my app list, but show up as installed when I find the app in the marketplace.

Now I'm off to update to 91 and try out Glitch V12 B2. Still need to get my hands on a new battery. Anybody got some suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnnie5000:
Same here. Except the last two nightlies have also wiped out my contacts. Oh well, I was overdue for a flash back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I see a lot of people having problems and completely restarting from scratch to fix it by one-clicking back to stock and reflashing the latest nightly.

I have never once gone back to stock since the beginning of the nightlies and I never have had any problems. Battery remains mostly the same. Running nightly #91 and stock kernel running 1.3 GHz overclock.

I have never once tried a different kernel. Maybe this is where the problem lies?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I have never used any CM7 kernel but team hacksung's. I have also never flashed back to stock AT&T using Odin or any other method.

I have done a factory reset twice due to poor battery performance that was not easily traceable (Android system using a lot of battery, etc). Both times after a factory reset my battery life has been much better.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I doubt it, I've been running the install since february, updating daily, and use custom kernels. I think most issues people report can be resolved by clearing cache/dalvik/fix permissions/moving apps to sd when datadata gets full. Flashing back to stock should never be necessary, worst possible case flashing a nightly with factory reset should be more than enough, and even that is extreme.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I don't know what it means, but looking at the change log, I see no code changes, only binary modules which means the changes are likely in the kernel. I see that you use Glitch, so you will want to ask in the Glitch thread when the changes will be applied (they may already be in the latest Glitch).
