"Conservative" causes the CPUFreq multiplier to ramp up slowly once the CPU is loaded, stopping at the first frequency where the load drops below 100%. This provides better battery life without sacrificing peak performance, but may feel noticeably laggy.

"Powersave" locks the CPU frequency to the lowest setting. This will provide maximum battery life but obviously comes at a very significant cost to performance.

"Performance" is the logical opposite of "Powersave," locking the CPU at the maximum multiplier. This sacrifices a great deal of battery life to ensure that you always have maximum performance and a minimum of "lag."

"Ondemand" causes the CPU to jump immediately to the maximum frequency at load and then ramp down from there, if possible. It's sort of the opposite of "Conservative." This is the default because it is generally accepted to provide the best battery life while eliminating noticeable UX lag.

I am unclear as to how "Userspace" is implemented in CM7. On a typical Linux configuration, it allows you to manually set the locked clock multiplier - sort of like Performance/Powersave but locked at whatever frequency you select.

For compatible kernels, "Smartass" attempts to strike a balance between Ondemand and Conservative by making a "best guess" at what the needed clock speed is for the current load and jumping straight to that multiplier. If available, this is probably the ideal multiplier for balance between battery life and minimum lag, but is relatively new and occasionally buggy.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Your description is correct in terms of Conservative, Powersave, and Performance, but a bit off in terms of Ondemand, Interactive, and Smartass governors. The Ondemand and and Interactive governors are very similar, in that they go to maximum frequency when the CPU load increases, the difference is that Ondemand governor polls the CPU for a set amount of time to determine the load before making the jump, while the Interactive governor jumps immediately to maximum when coming out of idle, and then polls afterwards to see if it needs to scale down to a lower frequency. Smartass is based on interactive, but has built in profiles, so it sets different minimum and maximum frequencies in different states, and then jumps between them without polling first.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
Thank you both! Great info and helps clarify things in case I (or others) decide to make any changes to these settings.

Market Enabler?

Is there any advantage to running Market Enabler when you are no longer running the factory rom?

And if so, which provider has the biggest selection of apps that are blocked to ATT subscribers?
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
The easiest way is just to experiment! Different radios have different performance in different areas.
[Captivate Android Development] ballz0iron:
alright, so my power button on my cappy just started acting like its stuck. and i need to get into download mode so i can flash stock so i can take it into att. any ideas? and i cant seem to get it to flash another rom seeing as i have no power button to use in cwm
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
Download mode or recovery mode?

Download is vol up/down buttons + insert USB
[Captivate Android Development] ballz0iron:
it wont do that when it thinks the power button is pressed, damn thing turns on as soon as you slide the battery in

edit: i think i may have figured it out, flashing cognition 4.x.x from rom manager then going to use aio captivate toolbox to adb into download and flash stock

editedit: did not work. rom manager thinks it worked but it did not.
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
have you installed adb on your computer? try doing adb reboot download that way
[Captivate Android Development] ballz0iron:
i have it installed but i suck at it, specific command once im in the directory? it says "error: device not found" when i type "adb reboot download"

edit: when you type "adb devices" it shows that there are no devices though i have it connected and have the phone in download mode. is it possible that im missing drivers for the phone? i have the captivate ones installed i believe
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Reboot download does not work on CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] ballz0iron:
any ideas as to how to get to download mode with a stuck power button then?
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
Try this perhaps:

Remove and replace the battery.

Hold the Volume Down button while pressing the power button until the "Download Mode" picture displays. Then release the buttons.

(in your case you will probably want to hold vol down as you insert the battery otherwise it will start up normally)
[Captivate Android Development] ballz0iron:
thats a no go, i cant get the button combos to work, so im going to take it apart and see what i can do to the button itself
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
Yeah I tried it on my Cappy and that combo wouldn't work for me either.
[Captivate Android Development] ballz0iron:
alright, so, i have figured out that i can use the search key the same as i would use the power key in cwm. but the problem is i cant get anything to flash any 2.2 roms. which 2.3.3 samsung roms (that i can adb into download on) can i flash from cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
To get back to Samsung, you have to repartition, which requires Odin, therefore download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] ballz0iron:
:RAGE FACE: guess ill have to tear my cappy down to and try to clean up the button. hopefully that works.
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
What about a nandroid backup of the stock rom? You made one of those, right?
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
this is a dumb question but i flashed the latest version

is this cm7 or 7.1

i looked in about phone then mod version it says 708102011

no, but lesson learned there. i always assumed it was a waste of space as i could easily boot into download mode and jump right back to stock. learned my lesson there. also the teardown was unhelpful. so probably going to go to att store when i get back from my trip (after unhooking the screen or something) and tell them it wont turn on and getting a replacement

[Captivate Android Development] :
My News Feed and the app in general keep showing a loading circle and they never actually load up, I sometimes get errors saying it coudln't retrieve data (something like that) :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
Does anybody here use a third party lock screen (like agile lock) and had updated to the latest nightly? The change log states that the volume rocker won't wake the phone when the system lock screen isn't active and with agile lock the volume rocker has always woken up the phone. Was wondering if anybody here could comment on the matter? A lot of new features seem up be being added lately

Do you have a firewall of any sort installed?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Nope, reflashed from stock, and no problems. I think it was a theme I was using.
[Captivate Android Development] SS2006:
Just to make sure

these nightlies are NEWER/ more updated then RC1

cause i always though nightlies stop when they reach RC
[Captivate Android Development] CougarBroker:
yes
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Regarding the latest nightly and the volume rocker w/ a custom launcher, this nightly is not available yet via the general download (altho I suppose someone could download all the approved patches manually, one at a time, incorporate them into nightly 83 one by one and them compile them) so I doubt that very many (if any other than the developers) know.

Regarding nightlies and RC's (short for Release Candidate), nightlies are just what they sound like, a nightly release of the rom. A 'new' nightly is provided regardless of whether any actual changes were made or not (as far as I can tell). An automated bot is 'supposed' to compile all the different supported Cyanogen roms for all the different devices every day and if applicable, uses push notifications to notify all users that wish to be notified (and have set notifications up thru the Cyanogen system).

Release Candidates (RC's) are a bit more tricky. As far as I can tell, the developers pick a moment when they feel warm and squishy about their work and determine that the rom is stable enough to go to the next level so to speak. There are no specific standards, it seems to be when they feel it is 'stable enough'.

Since nightlies come out every day, the latest nightly is always going to be newer than the RC with exception to the day the RC came out.

Cell Standby

Does anyone have an idea as to why Cell Standby would be so out of control? All of my battery stats are around 7 - 10% except cell standby, it's at 43%. This seems awful high compared to other roms.
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
Can you post a screenshot of the battery usage graph?
[Captivate Android Development] FredWorrell:
screenshot

here's what I have.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Are you in an area with low service on a regular basis? That would do it.

Samsung hacked a bunch of ril interfaces into userspace libs, so the team can't get at them, and at least one has to do with power saving. That's why so many people have battery issues on this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
+1 i didnt know that about the ril interfaces, im still very new to the cappy honestly and little bits of info similar to this make my day :) i love learning more about android's coding hence my account here on xda

Cell Standby

Actually I'm in an area that has great cell coverage. I can get 3 bars inside of a steel/concrete building.
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
What about the expanded battery graph? There's a section on there that tracks signal strength.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Are you using it much? If you aren't using it at all, cell standby is going to use the most.

Additionally, you can try a different modem. Certain phones like certain modems more.
[Captivate Android Development] FredWorrell:
Cell Standby

Looking at the bar graph, it's mostly green and yellow. Although there are a few areas of tan mixed in there. Thanks to all for the great info about this.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Does the building use cell repeaters to allow signal strength inside steel and concrete construction? When I travel to one of my companies locations, they use cell repeaters because signal strength non-existent inside, but 2-3 bars outside. The cell repeaters allow the cell phones to work, but they causes huge battery drain for me. Last time I was at that location (for a week), my battery would drain completely in 5-6 hours every day (compared to the normal ~18 hours that I get).
[Captivate Android Development] FredWorrell:
Nah, no repeaters. The cell signal here in the Philadelphia area for ATT is great. Like I said, 3 bars here sitting at my desk.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
In that case, try a different modem. I know in one case, it cut my cell standby percentage in half.
[Captivate Android Development] CougarBroker:
Toggle airplane mode on then off, it will stop the sticking and improve your battery life. do this after every reboot.

Well you must of restored some bad data. Your ONLY WAY if you have tried all above is Factory reset/Wipe Data. Then when you go to add back your apps just use restore apps WITHOUT DATA to be safe. Then you can slowly add SOME APP data one by one until you find which caused your issue.

Install doesnt' work

Hi everyone,

Hopefully this hasn't been asked and answered but I really dont have time to go through the >1000 pages, so sorry if its a repeat.

I have been installing the CM nightly builds on my phone for a while now. Never a problem. My mom also has a captivate still with the original CrapWiz installed on it.

I finally got around to installing a ROM for her, rooted it, TiB'd it, bought her the premium version of Clockwork Recovery, then proceeded to download the most recent version of the nightly. It downloads, pops the "Backup current ROM, wipe Cache, etc" screen and I check the appropriate boxes, hit install rom, and it reboots into recovery, but doesn't install it. Just has the options to reboot, reinstally packages, and delete user data or whatever.

I have tried installing from the SD card and still get the same thing. Tried and older version of nightlies and no dice.

Any help would be awesome, thanks guys.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Is the recovery 2e or 3e?

Just flash CWM with ROM Manager and reinstall packages in recovery. Then do it again when it reboots. Unless you get a sig verification error, you're in CWM and then flash the nightly. If you get the sig error, well you have 3e recovery. You need to flash back to stock (and make sure download mode with key combo works) and flash it from there.
[Captivate Android Development] cdenney:
It was 2e but I reflashed anyway, reinstalled packages in recovery mode, then reflashed with 2.x, then tried installing and it still went into the basic recovery mode menu without installing the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] derv23:
So has anyone tested LPM yet? I updated to the latest nightly, turned my phone off, then plugged it in, and it just rebooted like it always does. Not a big deal as I never use it, but thought I'd mention it.

Hello,

I am currently running apex 9.1 (JVR) and I would like to try Cm7 since I have never previously tried it. I'm sure a similar question has been asked but I checked the last 20 pages and nothing was there, so here goes.

1. CM7 should work with GB Bootloaders right? (since backwards compatible)

2. Can I just flash over my current setup as per the instructions on the wiki say (if you have CWM)?

Whats the easiest way to go t CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
I believe the latest modded kernels (TalonMTD and Platypus Neo 17 Beast Version 2.0.7.6.2.5-r2 or whatever it's called now) correct the issues with using Gingerbread bootloaders. You'll have issues with emmc mounting on the stock CM7 kernel, however.

As for installing CM7, yes you can just flash the initial package with CWM. Oh, and don't bother trying to hunt down the manual install of the gapps package; I couldn't find it, but despite the warning suggesting otherwise you CAN install it from ROM Manager without the paid version (not the CM7 ROM as a whole, though).
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
I'm a little confused as I haven't used CM7 before. What is emmc? Is that the sd card?

I have the paid version of rom manager, so use that to install a nightly + the gapps?
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Emmc is the external SD card, yeah. If you have ROM manager Premium you can just use that to install everything.
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
One thing to mention, another thing to try...

I have ALWAYS had trouble installing a custom rom with the 'official' Froyo rom on the phone, you could try flashing to stock 2.1 (I personally use AIO Toolbox on the PC - makes the whole process a breeze - simply flash to stock with Odin (included with AIO), then install the custom rom without having to go thru the process of rooting, no setting up the market, no downloading rom manager and no installing clockwork, AIO takes care of getting clockwork on the phone and copying the rom for you...there is a stickied thread in one of the Captivate threads with downloads for it).

1. Make sure USB debugging is enabled on the phone (Settings>Applications>USB Debugging), then plug phone into PC.

2. Click Flash to Stock

3. Click the '1-click Recommended' button near the upper left of the new window

4. The phone will reboot into Download mode and Odin will open, it should show a yellow box with a com port, if it does, click the Start button (if it doesnt show a com port, make sure you have the drivers installed, also, Odin has to be running BEFORE the phone is in download mode so you could try unplugging and re-plugging the phone into the PC).

5. After phone boots, enable USB debugging again (see step 1).

6. (Optional) With Odin still open and the phone booted normally, hit the Master Clear button and wait for the phone to reboot. When it does, re-enable USB debugging.

7. Close Odin and click the 'Done' button in AIO. AIO will now revert to the main menu. In the main menu of AIO, click 'Flash Custom rom'.

8. Click the 'Select/Copy Custom rom...Reboot into Recovery' button. Browse to the nightly of Cyanogen you downloaded and double click the file.

9. IMPORTANT - AIO will now appear to have hung, it has NOT. It is copying the rom to your phone, chill and wait for the phone to reboot into recovery (shouldnt take more than a couple minutes).

10. When the phone reboots into the stock recovery, using the volume buttons, select 'reinstall packages' and use the power button to select.

11. The phone will reboot into the stock recovery menu again. Repeat step 10.

12. The phone screen will flicker and you should now have a green recovery menu. Scroll down to 'Install zip from sdcard' and select it, then scroll to 'choose zip from sdcard' and select it, finally, scroll to the file 'ROM.zip' and select it (occasionally, the files listed here are NOT alphabetical so look CAREFULLY - you should not have to go into any folders, the ROM.zip file is in the root folder of the phone).

All told, the entire process takes about 7-10 minutes (including doing a Master Clear).
