Ok, after a few hours of jumping through hoops, I've learned the ropes of getting 2.3.3 Gingerbread CM7 to work and install perfectly.

However, now that I realize that the Google Apps I rely on (Gmail, Google Voice, Maps, etc) will not work... I've gotta go back to 2.2.1. :( Love what you guys have done with it though, as soon as Google apps work I'll be on it.

Edit: Please revise your install instructions, there are a few things left out and workarounds that can get your ass out of the proverbial Gingerbread fire in case things go FUBAR.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I flashed fresh just now, and turned off Backup Data when signing in. It restored ALL my apps :/ when I formatted /data and booted, I signed back in and MADE SURE to uncheck it. Restored half my apps before I went into settings > Privacy and checked restoring, unchecked EVERYTHING. Rebooted, setting stuck. Its restoring my apps again. I'm getting really angry... this never happened. Any suggestions??

Dis you install the gapps zip? They're in there.

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Instructions are pretty clear, I followed them perfectly 3 times and it works. And ALL Google apps work, I use them daily.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Amazing

By chance did you install the gapps zip that..... You know, installs all of those apps? I am not sure , but that could fix your problem

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Yes, sir, I sure did. For some reason all of the Google Apps repeatedly force close on me when I try to use them. All of the other apps work. Hence why I said they don't work. If they weren't installed, I wouldn't know if they work or not, yes?

;)

If anyone has a solution, I'd love to hear it. Everything else in CM7 is working perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
No matter how clear the instructions are...

There will always be people that will not only screw it up...

But they will blame it on the Rom(or dev)

Even though most everyone else has it working.

Sometimes It's better to make it too hard for people like this to even try it.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Reinstall them from Market... I had that happen. just reinstall them...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
From what he is saying, I don't think he had a working market.

Sounds like a bad flash

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Like I said, there's plenty of extra things that should be noted. Like, for example, manually formatting system, cache, and data (most important one) and then reinstalling the initial ROM can get you a fresh start. A March 1st version of the Google Apps installer destroyed my CM7 install, repeatedly causing it to soft reboot when the "Touch the Android icon to begin" screen with the hand pointing to the Android came up. Would really help.
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
I'll try that, thanks. Hopefully it works.
[Captivate Android Development] hakim7489:
data switch

how do i turn on/off the data? in other roms i just have to long press the power button and there is option to activate/deactivate the data. how do i do that using this rom? thanks in advance.

You can modify your notification window to add it. Settings, cm settings, interface

I got so pissed after 3 times it restoring after I said NOOOO so I went into recovery, formatted /data again, reinstalled the update then Kang kernel, skipped sign in, waited 5 minutes, went to Settings > Privacy to see if the checkboxes were empty (they were), then signed in by pressing Market and unchecking back up data. Worked
[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
The maybe a dumb question, so brace yourselves....

But after flashing the nightly updates, should the Mod Version listed change? Ive flashed all updates, starting from 0304, and the modversion has always remained rc0. Ill take a look at the build.prop, if these update zips even have them, I havent disected any of them yet, but just thought i'd put the question out there.
[Captivate Android Development] mikewong27:
When I tried to launch Market, it will open and than close automatically. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it using .apk. none seem to fix the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Mike
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Nope. Mod version should stay the same.

Try uninstalling it, wiping cache and data, then reinstalling it.

Edit: Also, logcats exist for a reason.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the install instructions are fine, if they don't work for you, you either made a mistake along the way or your phone is the EXCEPTION, not the rule. and this rom has MASSIVE disclaimers about how it is a test release. I'm sorry you couldn't understand either.

mod version will only change as stability improves, no milestones have been reached worth version bump yet.
[Captivate Android Development] rjyanj:
Obtaining IP Address..

SOLVED. (I'm an idiot.)

external sd card

my external sd card is not detected. is this common in this rom? i've tried remove and put the sd card but the phone still does not detect the external sd card.

Have you tried restarting your router then connecting? Thats what always works for me :D
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Please read the thread. Did you install the nexus drivers? Also, I have read that it mounts under a different name. I can't find the post being on my phone but it has been mentioned numerous times.

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Ok I am having problems. I want to change out the latinime.apk and the jni_latinime.so with my favorite keyboard which is just a themed gingerbread keyboard. The problem is I can not permanlty change any thing in system/app or system/lib. If I replace the files with my themed ones somehow it replaces them back to stock on its own. I even tried to remove the keyboard files first and then put my files in but the files just popped back up after I deleted them. It won't let me change any system files.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Hey,

My phone application sometimes just goes black and becomes unresponsive. I wait a bit (10seconds or so) and then i hit the power button and the lock screen comes up. :(
[Captivate Android Development] hakim7489:
mind narrowing my reading material? from which page to which page?

i've installed android sdk manager, tried to install the "Google USB Driver package, revision 4" (i checked the accept circle and clicked install) but in the end it said "Done. Nothing was installed'. which part that i do wrongly? thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Now that the drivers or installed plug phone in, usually for me a notification will come up to install drivers, select custom direct to c/program files/android/extras/google/usb click ok. May not be exact path but more or less that should do it

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] bassnfool:
The same thing happens to me once in a while. I just call back. It happens seldom enough I don't worry about it.

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Flashed to stock, flashed SMK12M, did the whole process anew, flashed the 03102011 nightly, then Kang kernel. Lockscreen music controls work!!! Donno why they didn't before but so happy they do now. Also, battery life is SO much better with JL3 than with KP1, wow. Thanks for all the hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
All my Market links in TiBu are gone... is there anyway to automatically restore them? I don't know how they disappeared... they ALWAYS worked under Samsung ROMs. now they don't show up as installed in Market... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on how to restore them as easily as possible.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
R u saying all of ur apps were restored but when you go to "my apps" in the market they're not there?
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
I dont know if this is cyanogen related

but my power button just stopped working today. i can get into recovery mode, just not download.

im trying to find a way to get it into a base rom and make sure its not cyanogen.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yes. And installing it will only link it. And TiBu has no Market link icons.
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
when i try to get into download mode, the phone just starts up.. would a jig get me in?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
I've had that problem with a few of the roms I've tried out. In each case it just fixed itself. I usually try really rebooting and see if that helps. go to the market and search for one of your apps. If it says installed but isn't under "my apps" it will most likely fix itself (from my experience at least)
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yeah, I've had that. But like I said, none of them are listed as installed, AND the Market links themselves are missing in the TiBu app
[Captivate Android Development] dayloooo:
KP1 modem ? I never seen that modem for the CM7 .
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
just go to the market and download something..... after you install it, close market and reopen.... your apps should now be there......
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Someone posted it a few days ago, like 5. It drains battery TERRIBLY
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Nope, nothing. Installed a few apps, rebooted, wiped cache for Market... somehow all the Market links disappeared from TiBu. :( this sucks
[Captivate Android Development] magnumrt562:
My battery doesn't charge past 95 percent...

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:

[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
anytime this happened to me, as long as it showed the apps i knew were installed as installed, i just d/l something new, close market, reopen market, click my apps.... no reboot or clear cache....
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Try reinstalling all your apps from TiBu.

Thanks for the tip earlier, BTW. I wiped, got Market working, GApps were still messed up so I uninstalled and redownloaded and reinstalled... they worked like a charm.

My restored apps from TiBu started messing up... so I restored them without data. Worked great. Try it. Try reinstalling Market too.
[Captivate Android Development] dayloooo:
Oh , thanks so much not flaming me . LOL . I just flashed CM7 today and I never realized why people loved it until now . I'm still a bit new to this , but I don't really know which modem is the "best" . Which modem best suits you ? I know I have to try them all out and test , but just wanna know from someone else's experience on which modems they liked and disliked .

Does anyone know how to switch keyboard apps in CM7? I'm trying to switch to Smart Keyboard Pro but in the Locale and Keyboard menu it doesn't let me pick an input?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
They aren't shown as installed. The problem is with TiBu's storage of links
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
JL3 seems to be great for battery
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Hold a text entry box, and click Input. It's that easy.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Nope, uninstalling an app and rerestoring it didn't work. I'll try reinstalling Market
[Captivate Android Development] ahmada:
Does anyone have an issue with this mod where it just keeps rebooting on its own??
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
i was understanding your problem as you cant *update* your apps because the market doesnt show them in the "my apps" tab, but they are actually installed, after you tibu restore. if that is *not* the situation, what exactly is?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
not since the updates from 3/10/2011
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
They are all installed but the Market link doesn't exist. Market doesn't recognize them as installed because they aren't connected to Market, like an apk would do. TiBu usually restores a Market link, but they're all gone in TiBu itself. It indicates whether one exists or not, and it says they (Market links) do not. I'm looking for a way to easily restore Market links, make Market understand that I have them installed without going to each of the 120 apps and installing them over again
[Captivate Android Development] ahmada:
Which update is that?? I've only had this rom for 3 days.. Can you send me a link on how to update my rom to the newest one?????
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/captivate/
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
links in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] ahmada:
So ur saying this will fix the reboot problem??? Will I lose anything if I update??
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Tibu has a "market doctor" option...

I think it's for full version though.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Market Doctor told me there were no links to restore... I tried it.

So anyway, I wanted to reinstall Market, just in case, since clearing cache didn't work. I deleted Vending.apk, extracted it from Gapps zip, and threw it in. Starts, FC's. Changed permissions to match other apps, still FC's. So I went into Recovery and reflashed Gapps. ALL my apps are in Market now. I DON'T know why, I NEVER had this issue. Anyway it works, so whoever suggested reinstalling Market (if anyone), THANK YOU! I'm so glad this is fixed, it was a big deal for me!
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
yes it'll fix it and no you wont lose anything by using an update, if you follow the instructions....
[Captivate Android Development] ahmada:
If its not too much trouble I have one more question... I am using tmobile sim card and it takes forever to show any bars.. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem???
[Captivate Android Development] :
Showing "Bars"

It has happened to me, using an AT&T Sim card (as I believe the signal acquisition is an issue with the kernel, not the card), and - for me - signal returns when locking/unlocking the device a few times via the power button.

GLHF.
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
Same here, can't charge past 95%.
[Captivate Android Development] blazin619:
Do I just have to flash the most recent update coming off the initial build or do I have to flash each and every update that has come out one by one? Sorry if it's a stupid question. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Just flash the newest nightly update, 03102011. It's all cumulative. I flashed it straight from initial 20110304, works perfectly :)
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Again, that's how it is built. It still charges to the same point as any Samsung ROM, but this ROM's counter isn't calibrated I guess, and it shows 95%. It's normal
[Captivate Android Development] cchant:
A lot of times just downloading something from the market fixes it for me
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Right now, with light usage throughout the day, and a poor signal where I work, I get about 1.5 days on Andromeda 1.2. Is CM7 anywhere close to that?
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
Ill probably have to say no, it wont be as good as I've noticed a higher idle drain than 2.2 roms. But it's hard to go back now to a 2.2 rom due to the incredible smoothness of this rom. Besides, I charge nightly so the increased drain is a non issue.

Edit: and I mean slight increase. I make it through a day no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
If you are someone who gages a rom purely by battery, you should likely hold off. My opinion there is no comparison between the two roms in question, but cm7 will most likely yield worse battery

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I'm not gauging it based solely on battery life, but I need a ROM that will last from 8AM to at least 10PM with light to moderate usage.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I personally struggle to get it to last that long but I am in sales, talk on my phone 1hr average per day with 3+ hr screen time. If you are off wifi most of the day that helps. Really only one easy to find out ;)

Just don't complain about it if you do

Light usage for me so far 79%

[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
Just a question, I don't know if this was on the Initial, but (since the new nightly) now every time my screen is on ...the capacitive buttons are on. so basically the buttons are always on when I'm using my phone. Is this a kernel problem or ROM issue? It's not a total big deal but would just like to know.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisz5z:
Not sure if its a bug or just my phone but.....

If I open an email that is larger than my screen, its not very responsive when trying to scroll horizontally. I have to keep constantly trying to scroll to get to the other end (left/right). I don't have this issue with any other app.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Pretty sure its a feature. It essentially behaves the same as installing keep the lights on. I prefer it. It seems logical to me that whenever the screen is active that the buttons are active as well.

Which update zip do you use?

Maybe a dumb question but there are two update files posted:

update-cm-7-03102011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip

and

cm7-captivate-update-20110310.zip

which should I use to update from the initial cm7-captivate-initial-20110304.zip version??

Thanks!!

Edit - Was concerned about different naming format - don't want to mess up and redo... sorry, should have read a few more posts. use most recent!
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Always go with the later date, its safe to say that if you see it say NIGHTLY and signed, that is the file you want. Install update-cm-7-03102011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Two things about your image I am curious about, anyone know why Mediaserver comes up and eats the battery? It had 46% on my phone the other day, so I force killed the process. Also, I noticed that the % is going up in Cell Standby so I do the Flight Mode enable/disable to avoid 50% battery drain from that, its instinct for me after Samsung ROMS, is that still an issue with CM7, is that an issue just from our phones or all Android phones?

how to mount external sd card on windows OS

Hi all,

I noticed that i cannot mount my external sd card on my captivate onto my windows XP or Windows 7 computer. I was able to mount the internal sd card without any issue. but not the external one. Is there a way to fix this issue?

Mike
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
External SD mounting is not possible at this time. May help to read some of the issues over at cyanogenmod.

Right now the rom can't "see" the ext sd card. Have patience young one. All will be fixed in due time. No eta.

The ROM can see the external card. It's in /mnt/emmc
