[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
Thanks for your response atinm. I understand where you're coming from. This is so unfortunate. I've been a big Android talker from day one, but I gotta be honest, the SGS line has completely embarrassed what Android is. I'm done with Samsung mobile. I will be trying out the LG (T-mobile) G2x next. I'm guessing that T-mobile and ATT will be sharing their 3G network soon and that phone is capable of running on both, so it's an easy gamble to take and I can get locked in to T-mobiles lower rates running the better network. :D

Until then I do hope that we get more progress on CM7. I want to thank you for your work on this. I'm glad you enjoy it just like I enjoy tinkering with my phone and different ROMs. I put no blame on anyone but Samsung. That company is a mess and have abandoned their patrons to the point of no return (for me anyways). I'll be checking the progress on things and sure I'll take the leap again.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
If Samsung reuses Nexus S source code internally and redoes the proprietary parts of the SGS to work in the way they did Nexus S, we're good. That's the hat stand to hang your hat on.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
*giggle* *heeheehee* *hahahaha* . . . sorry, my brain just exploded to mush. I can't deal with this anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
So that means you are going to do it!? :D Sorry JK hahaha some people just dont read or understand yet what CM7 is and every time there is a ROM leak they think its instant update for CM7 :p

So I see more people are starting to make this their daily driver... I just installed CM7 for the first time today and applied the 3/29 nightly update. What are you guys doing to iron out some of the kinks because right now its still pretty buggy for me. Basically what I am asking is whats next after the initial install? What kernel is most stable? What are you guys doing to help battery life? etc. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Since I am not into OC the most Stable Kernel is the one that comes with CM7(IMO). I did try the other for some Under Volting to try to help Battery but not sure I could really see that much difference. I have just got into the habit of Plugging my phone in time when I am at home. I have had a few FCs but rebooting the phone seems to clear that up. The only 2 bugs that bother me and I know they being worked on is 1)Not being able to see my External SD Card and 2) Phone always being ON when Charging but I can live with these for now.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I wish for a better hat stand. If froyo can be ported to the iPhone and HD2, I am sure the newer version of android are possible on the System without any help from Sammy, no matter how much of an outlier the hardware is when compared to other phones.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
If you are so sure that you know better than the devs who work on it, by all means, start porting.....
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Wow, why do you keep talking? Is anything you're saying that contributes to CM7 in ANYWAY at all?

Please tell me what you are trying to accomplish.
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
Port or it wont happen
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Have you tried Android on an iPhone? Might as well port Android to a toaster. The OS might boot (through some magical devil work), but NOTHING works. The HD2 is similar hardware to some current phones (and not to mention HTC was the primary Android manufacturer for awhile), and it still took a long time to get it working (and they were desperate, since their alternative was WinMo ;) ).

Point is, this is usable as a daily driver, and doesn't really compare to those situations.

BTW, XDA is being a load of fail today.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you've never tried the iDroid builds. for one, it only works on the original 2G and 3G phones because the newer ones have such locked bootloaders, they are incapable of booting the linux kernel at this point. add to that, that there are so many missing proprietary modules that the only things that "work" are, I believe, phone and SMS (not even sure data/mms work)... hardware acceleration is gone as there is no GPU driver. on top of that, the battery life is atrocious (3 hours while literally doing nothing)... show me one thing that works as well or better on the iDroid port and I'd be surprised to say the least.

the HD2 is almost identical to a number of other HTC devices when it comes to internals. and the time spent on making haret.exe (which can boot the linux kernel) work for that phone took an extreme amount of time and effort. compare it to the original desire and really the only difference you get is purely superficial (screen size, not even resolution)... sure the keylayout is different, but that's fairly simple to get working once you've got the linux kernel booted.

comparing EITHER of these things to samsung's device is way out of left field. you know that "adb reboot download" command we all know and love so much? it doesn't work without a properly functioning param.ko... guess what! that's something we need to build against the current kernel (2.6.35.7) but we only have a way to get it on 2.6.32.9... if you know how to fix that, feel free to contribute.

I'm sorry, but until you contribute something a third as good as what the CMSGS Team has created, I'm gonna have to ignore your input (as it seems based in an imaginary world where things just work). building from source for a kernel and ROM not really meant to run on our devices as they are is far more difficult than a device that barely works (iPhone) and a device that's near identical to it's android brothers (HD2).
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
Amen to that!

People magically think coding is typing a few commands getting some code, magic fairy dust.

I'm sure when you guys get the source you will actually work some magic(and I'll be here still trying to get my vectors to work lol)
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
Some people..

MOD Edit: Don't use foul language, first and final warning
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Great read tonight. I know building these Rom's is a lot of work.

All I will say though if you think these phones are messed up with samsung try a windows phone from Samsung. This phones are a huge improvment.
[Captivate Android Development] blazin619:
I dont have any bugs at all. Maybe you need to reflash because this roms more stable than anything ive tried and it never ever ever lags. Ever...
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Yep this is stable enough that i am running it at 1.5Ghz if it was buggy like you are experiencing you can imagine how bad it would get at that speed. Like previously suggested...maybe reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] yahooserious:
I dont see the DL link...uh.. am i going blind?
[Captivate Android Development] jjtitus098:
The only problem I have is poor battery life, but that is obviously a common problem. I barely made it from 7:00-4:00. Oh well. Everything else is great though. A few freezes when listening to music but that could be Oc/UV.

If there was a definite answer to that, one of them wouldnt exist dont you agree? ;)

EDIT: I MANAGED TO FLASH JF6 KERNEL.. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO work it out from here.

I messed up the install damn it!

I flashed the UPDATED K13c speedmod 500hz Kernel successfully then everything went wrong.Tried to install thru cwm a few times and kept getting a corupt ABORT message,,fiddled with it a bit and ended up soft bricking.

Now I am stuck at Downloading screen with odin 1 click freezing up. I have done some reading that leads me to belive that because I flashed the Kernel that odin 1 click may no longer work..and its frozen. Cant get into recovery either.

Please send a link or help me get out of this pickle.. Many thank yous in advance.

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Where is odin one click getting stuck? Just keep trying. Reboot pc, different ports. It should go through eventually

I checked in the FAQ didn't find any mention of a solution for this problem: My wifi network is identified and tries to get an IP but never goes through, then it keeps on trying finally just goes back to using the att network.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Agree. I tried KB1 modem and voice quality is bad and Super Loud.
[Captivate Android Development] jbinc:
I did the same thing on mine, but this video saved me.

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/embed/Rdn5GoRjhn0[/YOUTUBE]

It worked and I was able to successfully get it back into download mode. When you plug in the usb cable after getting into download mode, restart Odin 1 click and get it back to Jf6, then you can start over.

When you get to first flash with Odin 3 v 1.7, MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK AUTO-REBOOT. that's what bricked mine the first time.

hope it works out for ya. the resistors onl cost $5 at radioshack btw. or ordr a jig from mobiletechvideos.com.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Yep.. Found that out after using it today. My wife said it sounds muffled, lots of background noise and kinda fussy.. lmao

Although my signal was much better.

so going to try another modem.

I don't have any problems changing wallpapers, but some of my favorites from the CM selection have disappeared with the last update or two. I'm not sure how or why, but I would love to get my favorite wallpapers back, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] nathanjones:
I'm sort of a gadget freak, so I get these urges to move off CM7 for another ROM every once in a while. But while other ROM's always seem to start out excellent, they always seem to get bogged down in overlocked-this, and super-fancy-whatzitwozzle-that.

I've used CM since my G1/Dream days, and it's always felt like Android+ to me. It's pure enough that the Android experience isn't tainted, but it has all these features that I can enable that turn the phone from great, to awesome. I'll take this surprisingly stable pre-pre-alpha CM7 build over the latest JVMQQXX/Overclocked/Super-Kernel any day.

I'm already an organ donor, but if I could donate more organs than are in my body, I'd gladly do so. I guess becoming an organ harvester is going a bit too far.... heh... keep up the awesome work.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
urges are caused by flashing addiction
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Amen to that. Although between this and cognition it's a darned hard choice.

I love this rom ..its seriously killed my flashing addiction, but I just wish the battery was a little better, other then that its great stuff, keep up the good work

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Today while sitting at break at Starbucks to check out all the lunchtime women that walk in I decided to test out all the different modems. I did not move locations at all. I just sat in one place. It may not be too scientific but I would flash the modems, wait a few minutes until I got a good reception (showing bars lit up), then went into About Phone, Status and checked the signal strength. I decided to do this since last night I tried one of the modems and it seemed fine with showing bars but it was taking what seemed longer to actually bring up a website or xda app. I tried all the modems listed for CM7 in the modem thread in the captivate section. The ONLY 2 that showed in About Phone/ Status with a signal strength of -81 was jk4 and jk3. Jl2, jl3, jpg, jq1, and I've all showed -111 for signal strength for me. While on each I also tried opening the xda app. The first two i mentioned came up very quickly while ALL the rest took a LONG TIME and I thought they were gonna time out. What is weird is that for me in the past jl2 always seems better on my phone than jk4 as far as battery life. Well this is just my unscientific test and ymmv. I am in southern California and I know that locations can make a huge difference on the reception. So again just my quick testing.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
That is about what I paid for it. I got it from a fellow xda member in perfect condition. It is nice to have it off contract and I may try to set it up for making calls over wifi like in one of the post in the captivate section. But mostly for testing and if/when I want to switch it up I can just swap my similar card into it. Maybe a foolish decision on my part but then when I soft brick one at work (has happened MANY times) I am not left without a phone until I get home.

Is anyone getting good battery life? I can get a day of light use but that's only because my days are only like 4 hours long.

Worst I;ve got is 40% usage in 3 hours, best isnt much better, wondering if anyone has tried a kernel that was just great or if its still bugs in CM. I know battery usage isn't super high on the to do list
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Battery life can be pretty rough on this in its current form. I personally use an undervolted kernel (Le Kernel Du Jour by TheEscapist) which helps. Keep in mind though if you flash a different kernel that you must post any/all issues that may arise during your CM experience in the kernel thread and not here.
[Captivate Android Development] Sarcoid:
With the default kernel I can get about 18 hours. This was after a few days to calibrate. The other kernels are better on battery life though. I'm using the trollin' kernel and after 18 hours I still have about 30% left.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
I use TheEscapist's kernel and I would get around ~12 hours with medium use. No OC/UC, no UV, but BLN is on. I've only been running CM7 for 2 days so I will assume the battery life will get better with a few cycles.

I want to reach at least 20 hours though so I'm gonna underclock to 800mhz and try my hand at undervolting.

Anyone have the change log for the new nightly?
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Check the first post. ;)

20110402:

- SD Cards changes. Enable emmc is Settings app.
[Captivate Android Development] Asraiil:
Anyone having audio issues on the latest nightly? My phone isn't routing audio to the ear when receiving a phone call. Enabling the speaker alleviates the problem, but I didn't notice this problem on the last nightly. The audio works normally on outgoing calls, seems like it's just the incoming that are affected.
[Captivate Android Development] pfroo40:
I'm not having much luck using an external SD card. Running the latest nightly, 4/02. It mounts the card and I can see it in settings but media doesn't scan properly. If I open my music app, for instance, it will scan the first several albums or artists but then they will go blank, and come back again, like it just keeps restarting the scan.

Edit: Nevermind, it was my honeycomb music player causing problems.
[Captivate Android Development] thekurrgan:
I've found that CM7 takes a fair amount of time to correctly calibrate the battery. If I wipe my phone clean with the battery full, odin to stock, do CM7 install, the battery will be dead in the first 3 days in less than 8 hours of medium use. However I've found that allowing to drain 100% then continue trying to turn it on a few times after that by pulling the battery, THEN charging to full will solve the issue, at least it did for me. Went from 8 hours max to about 27 hours max. Stock kernel, JK4 modem, 3/29 nightly, yet all versions have behaved this exact way for me..

I use push exchange email, 1hour fetch imap email, facebook, weather widget, skype and pandora as the typical memory resident running apps. (Pandora isnt as background esq as the others, but hey)

Okay, I'm taking the plunge. With the introduction of the latest nightly(and thusly the external SD card) I am going to flash CM7. You guys have done great work, and I am following closely. I will be doing some battery testing, so if anyone wants to see my setting in a couple of days when I get my battery calibrated I'll post it. I currently get four to five days on Cog(but I have mobile data and wifi turned off, I have so much stuff I can do without and still be entertained XD), and if I find any bugs I'll report them to the proper exterminators.

WISH ME LUCK! It's my official 100th flash!

Off topic a bit, after posting a helpful and on topic post, let's add on a "Skat has so little life that he...." to the end of our posts n.n. I look forward to see what you come up with. I'll start off.

Skat's got so little life, he has seventeen stand up comedy routines.

Here's on joke from them, "A priet and a gay man walk into the bar. The bartender looks up and says 'Just one tonight?'" (I AM A DEVOTE CATHOLIC! Even my priest loled at this.)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Ok I am not sure what this means.

I am not seeing any settings for the emmc card and also what are we going to enable anyway? I can access the card and my emulator games already before this nightly unless you mean that this nightly finally lets us access the card via USB,

Can someone clarify this for me?
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Okay I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't find Gapps... Anyone know where to find it? I searched the threads and nothing.

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it's under "storage"... now it's officially supported part of cyanogenmod, not a hacked in attempt that was specific to our device. on top of that, you can now mount/unmount external sd card and format it (just like on samsung ROM's) which you couldn't do before. USB share is still not available.

you can try it, but likely you'll get an assertion failure, it'd be best to just flash CM7 from stock (initial + update).
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I have gone back and forth by deleting system, data and cache then flashing CM7 and then doing the wipe data part as per the instructions when flashing normally.

I have not noticed any issues but to be honest, when I am flashing and want a 100% good job...I do the whole thing from zero.

CM6 to CM7

Hello Folks & Devs,

I write as I tried to find clear and simple directions for folks that are going from CM6 (6.1.0-beta2-galaxys) to CM7

Could you please point to latest kernel to use and which field to put it in when using helida <-spelt wrong

what should I do to phone to prepare it for the switch?

I have download the efsbackup.zip & initial-xxxxxx.zp & initial-kernal.tar from the sourcefrog site

Do I need to download another radio and or kernel?

Any adice would be grateful. Its been awhile as you can tell me last update to device.

If anyone knows what is different between them for whats working and not between the two that would be great also.

Thanks for the assistance in advance!

God Bless,
