I haven't flashed back to stock since coming to cm7 either...feels like almost going on a year now? I can't say whether going back to stock would help with battery life, I don't understand why that would be the case, but regardless I don't know how to go back to stock the fastest way without reading up a bunch of info to make sure I don't mess anything up. I'd give it a try if someone said a few quick easy steps on how to do it with heimdall.

What build batch# do you have? i know builds 1007, and 1008 work fine with the odin one click. That's about as easy as it gets. You should know how to flash to stock though.. that's almost a given when you are flashing ROMs..especially one that states in the OP that this is not for new users.

Q: How do I go back to a Samsung stock ROM?

A: The easiest way is to go back to stock using Odin and flashing a full firmware (including PIT file) with repartition checked (Odin One-Click does this by default on Captivate)
[Captivate Android Development] BL4zD:
I'm not a new user. I specifically stated that I'm using heimdall so odin 1click references aren't useful to me.

Has anyone else been experiencing random reboots and/or freezing on the latest nightlies? It's been happening to me and the only thing I've done differently has been to move apps (games only) to the sd card. No idea if it's related or not...

Anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'm sorry you didn't state that you were only using Heimdall. I was just letting you know what the easiest way is.. and being that you are an experienced user, it didn't sound like it when you said you didn't know how to get back to stock without messing anything up..and without having to read up on it. .. just sayin;)

I hope i didn't offend you.
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Yes, I'm on 133. At first I thought it was a one-time thing so I wasn't paying attention to the conditions. Twice today -- both times I was on wifi. You?
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
I'm on 134, though I think I was on 133 when it first happened. And I am pretty sure it has happened both on wi-fi and data. It happened yesterday a few times, so I flashed back to stock to get a clean install. All was running fine but then it just randomly started happening again.

I mentioned moving apps, but now that I think of it I was able to get a good 1/2 day's use out of it after moving the apps before it started acting up again. So i'm going to guess it is not related to that.
[Captivate Android Development] Sarcoid:
I've tried it and it only uses one line on your lockscreen. Alarms also share this line so if your next alarm comes before the event then you won't see the event. I don't find it too useful because I have an alarm for every morning. It won't show me what's coming up later in the week.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
Since I don't have a ton of events on my calendar, I actually have found it pretty useful. Kinda nice to see my next upcoming appointment.
[Captivate Android Development] SteveCheeseman:
ive been running cm7 now for a few days (nightly 130 to be specific) and im gettin constant FC's on maannnnny apps as soon as they open, twitter/face/titanium backup, appbrain, etc. i dont think any system apps are fc'in though.

is anyone else problems like this???

edit

so i am gettin FC's on system apps.
[Captivate Android Development] andoh:
If anyone can provide me a good place to start or just any information I would really appreciate it. I've recently switched over to cm 7, I've been using it on my wife's aria for some time and she has really enjoyed it. My only issue is that I can no longer play my .flac audio. Does anyone know a fix or have information about getting it to work? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Go into terminal and type in "df," check your /datadata and/data. I'd wipe/factory reset, that should get rid of the fc's.
[Captivate Android Development] SteveCheeseman:
id rather not do a factory reset if its not necessary..

and what is it that im checking for in terminal?

Your data data is 100% full. That's why you're getting fcs.
[Captivate Android Development] SteveCheeseman:
oh.. well.. how do i fix and prevent this?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Download the DiskUsage app from the market. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&feature=search_result

Then, see which apps are taking up the most space in /datadata. If you don't need them, uninstall them. If you do need them, move them to the sdcard if you can.
[Captivate Android Development] staplebox:
Fellow Nutmegger... I can't remember ever flashing to stock or wiping data since we got regular nightlies. No problems with battery, FCs or anything unusual that would make me want to. It is a PITA to setup after.
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Thank ya sixstringsg :D
[Captivate Android Development] SteveCheeseman:
when i open the app, i select 'root required' then select the datadata folder, it asks for root access but then i get a message sayin 'java.lang.RuntimeException:error no more data'

..im a bit confused
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Did you give it root access? It worked flawlessly for me.
[Captivate Android Development] SteveCheeseman:
yeeeuuuupppp
[Captivate Android Development] CptTwinkie:
It could be that the diskusage app or the priveledge elevation (superuser) is attempting to write to datadata and failing.

Running 132 for a few days now. Anyone else having a problem disabling led notifications?

Even when I set an application (I.e. Gmail) to force led off, my lights still come on when I get a new message.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Oh, I haven't updated since nightly 128, which is still 2.3.5.
[Captivate Android Development] Sarcoid:
I don't have a ton of events either but it would be nice to know my next event tomorrow other than the alarm in the morning. Anyway, I thought it would be useful but I went back to using Lockscreen Calendar since it has more options.
[Captivate Android Development] CalvinL:
Does Cyanogenmod automatically unlock your phone? I tried dialing Enter *#7465625# (what I found on google) and nothing came back.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'm pretty sure the Samsung dialer codes don't work.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
I'm also pretty sure you have to unlock it before flashing. Oh and by the way corey, you get an extra thanks, I hit the wrong button :)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Lol :p
[Captivate Android Development] BL4zD:
I unlocked my captivate back on stock when they were first released, but my roommate bought a captivate the other day from CL after I added data to our family plan and it was already on stock gingerbread. I unlocked it by hex editing nvdata.
[Captivate Android Development] quick6black:
Updated to 135 yesterday. Have had light use and battery level is 55% in 23 hours. I only lost 6% over 8 hours last night.
[Captivate Android Development] CalvinL:
I rooted it, but I don't remember unlocking it. Can anyone confirm? I might be selling my phone soon so I can get the GS2, and I want to advertise appropriately.

Been getting horrid battery life with my Nightly. Will update asap.
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Where is the new kernel repo? when building from source and trying to do 'repo sync' http://android.git.kernel.org/repo isn't available with the problems going on at kernel.org.

I know this doesn't really have anything directly with the nightlies, but it is close lol
[Captivate Android Development] Emperor Jon:
just recently updated from a much older nightly version..

Since updating to 129/30/31/32/33 I have had no luck turning on my bluetooth..

Anyone else experiencing any issues with bluetooth?
[Captivate Android Development] quick6black:
Haven't had an issue with Bluetooth. Turns on like it should
[Captivate Android Development] popodopolus:
I don't know why everyone has problems with battery life. On moderate to somewhat heavy use I normally get a little better than a 24 period before the phone dies.
[Captivate Android Development] The Boxinator:
What is your setup? Any specific kernel? Brightness? Network on 3g or 2g?
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
Iv heard people that had problems, wiped data, and it has worked since then.

Its something like they changed the bluetooth implementation, so any old stuff wont work.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Same here, but mine hasnt worked since like 96. Have no idea how to fix it. Ive tried everything.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I'm on the nightly from 9/29/11 and my bluetooth works perfectly fine. I'm using the newest Platypus kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] popodopolus:
I am completely stock cm7. No custom kernel and I usually have 3g and wifi turned on. The only thing I do is have the brightness turned all the way down.

Edit: I forgot to mention I do use juice defender on it's balanced setting. I also gave the v6 supercharger script running.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Then you do know why everyone is complaining about their battery. Most of the use is for more than just SMS/Phone calls - I mean, if I wanted just SMS/Phone I have a perfectly functional Nokia that the battery lasts more than a week (which I actually consider going back from time to time...)

I liked the Juice Defender thing though. Does it pay off in the long run? I usually have my phone plugged all day (home and office) so I don't really care on day-to-day but it's sort of annoying when I'm away :)
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
Go back to stock amd then unlock....or you can use the sgs unlocker on the market, it worked for me....i mean my mom's cappy
[Captivate Android Development] mystichobo:
SuperOneClick Root should also give you the unlock code if memory serves correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] Seahunts:
Been on nightly 130 since it came out. Runs pretty well flawlessly.

As for the battery life? As others have said depends what I do with it. Using an APN suffix widget it will last 12h+ easy.

With 3G on all day (wifi off) I can get about 8h. This is with fring running constantly, a bit of internet use but no email. If I set up my exchange email to push / sync calendar I got about 4hours until I was at 20% battery left. Checking the battery status shows that email has been the culprit for 65% of battery use.

With 3G off all day (at home on WIFI) I can get 8h+ with about 50% battery left, whilst having email set to push.
[Captivate Android Development] CalvinL:
I'll look into it. Thanks.

Also, I drained my battery. The last few % were lasting a really long time, which I think attributed to what appeared to be a massive battery drain. When I plugged it in and charged it, it jumped to 21% for some reason. Did that happen for anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Sounds like you need to calibrate your battery
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Sometime (could have been around the mid 90's), there were several changes to the bluetooth implementation in CM for SGS phones. For some people, there was no impact, for others, bluetooth pairing stopped working. I was one of the people that it stopped working for. What fixed it for me was to delete all the existing pairing data from both my phone and my hands free device (the only thing I pair).

I don't know if removing the pairing information from the phone or the hands free device is what fixed the issue, but both are easy to do. If you really don't want to wipe, try deleting all your existing pairing data first. For me, my hands free is a Plantronics and the method to clear the existing pairing data is to power on the device and continue holding the power button for about 10 seconds. Sometime around 3-5 seconds puts it into pairing mode, adding the additional ~5 seconds clears all the existing pairing data.

If clearing your pairing data does not work, I recommend trying a factory reset / wipe. Doing this in CWR or though ROM manager will not remove CM from your phone, it will just remove all your data so you will need to re-add your Google account and re-install your apps, etc.

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

Many people have found that doing a "wipe data/factory reset" using CWR has the same affect as flashing to stock if you are having issues, and is much safer (than using a 1-click with built in boot loaders). I have not flashed anything besides CM nightlies since I flashed the original CM initial package for Captivate back at the beginning of March. I have done a factory reset 2 or 3 times though.
[Captivate Android Development] TomMelee:
Just updated to a yesterday's most recently nightly. Can't stand BLN. BLN-app says it's not installed. How do I kill it?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Technically, it's not BLN, it's LED Notifications that's why it says it's not installed. Open up your settings> CM settings> LED Notifications.. and in there toggle some stuff. Haven't messed with it because I use BLN, but if i remember correctly selecting dark colors for the notifications wont render the softkeys to light up.. But that's where the settings are.. mess around.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Flash Glitch! It has BLN with the app. And it's off by default.
[Captivate Android Development] TomMelee:
I saw LED notifications...I really have to go into every listed app and tell it to force the LED OFF? Eww.

I booted to recovery b/c I remembered when BLN was an option in the CWM, but it's not there either.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
How many apps you got notifying you? .. anyway, like i said i don't use LED Notifications so I'm not sure there may be another way.. that or like six said Flash Glitch and don't enable it. It will be off by default.
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
I had the same issue yesterday. Phone battery died somewhat quickly (without a lot of use), I put it on charger and turned it on and it showed 69% (yeah right). Unplugged, rebooted, and poof it showed 6% (more like it). This was after I calibrated the battery a few days ago.
[Captivate Android Development] flucks:
I have never seen a battery tank that hard as I did with #134. I only got about 6 hours and I was hardly using it. I put #136 on it and wiped everything and it seems to be going much better. Not sure what happened there.
[Captivate Android Development] popodopolus:
Juice defender does help out. I saw a difference between it being on rather than off. According to the juice defender program it says that it has increased battery life by 1.68.

To get into the nitty gritty of my entire set up I am on nightly 134. I am oc to 1.2 ghz. I am uv at 75 across the board. E-mail sync every 30 mins. This is a work phone so it is always on. As stated I use juice defender and the v6 supercharger I am running all stock cm7 though.
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
The main issues with battery life are apps, your radios (BT, Wifi, GPS, 2g/3g, etc), and the screen.

Autostarts will manage the apps, Juice Defender or Tasker will manage the radios, and the screen, well, I havent found anything yet to deal with that (which is quite annoying because my screen just randomly comes on when my phone is sitting idle - quite frequently I might add).

Properly configured, the stock battery w/ CM on the cappy should give you a minimum of 16-20 hours. This should be plenty considering you have to sleep at some point, put your phone on the charger at sleepy-time.

For me personally, I can make my Cappy run around 40 hours without a charge if I setup the screen to turn off in 15 seconds (that way, when the screen randomly comes on, it turns back off rather quickly).

Oh, and just an fyi, Nightlies are still being pushed out, Rom Manager just isnt seeing them.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
The Android OS bug is back with a vengeance. My battery is tanking so hard. I unplugged 11 hours ago and Im at 8% with almost 0 usage. CPU Spy suggests its stuck at 800 Mhz instead of going into deep sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] Psyclotr0n:
not sure if this has been covered 474 times, but the instructions say to have Eclair or Froyo bootloaders; does this mean do NOT have GB bootloaders (i.e. from another KH3 or KI2 ROM?)
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Well you HAVE whatever bootloaders you put on your phone. This ROM now works with GB bootloaders though.
[Captivate Android Development] quick6black:
I flashed the latest and my phone went to sleep 3 times since 2 this morning. ReFlashed 135 and its been fine. I also noticed with 136 my phone did not ring when a call was coming in, no notification until I got voicemail. I have had great battery life and no bugs with 134 and 135.
[Captivate Android Development] CalvinL:
How do I calibrate my battery?
[Captivate Android Development] ajh5408:
Both i9000 and i897 Gingerbread bootloaders will work with this ROM, though issues have been reported with the i9000 set relating to external SD card access. To be clear, the reason the warnings are still in place is likely because the RC build (still in distribution) is not compatible with the GB loaders. I'm sure once they update the RC again, they'll update the instructions with it.
[Captivate Android Development] popodopolus:
You can either download the battery calibration App from the market which allows you to clear the .bin without going into recovery. Or you can boot into recovery and go to advanced and select clear battery stats.
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
Could someone point me in the right direction for the font setting in CM7? :)
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
You need to use the Font Changer app... available in the market
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Hmm, so tempting. But I spend about 2 hours a day (usually during my commute) watching 720p mkv's with embedded softsubs, so I think I'll have to stick it out for a Samsung Gingerbread source to be available. Software players just don't cut it (none of the ffmpeg-based players are smooth when it comes to HD content and they don't support embedded softsubs) and on top of that they aren't free.
[Captivate Android Development] demonte21:
I'm also getting a 3G icon all the time.... as I see, it seems this problem only affect Canadian user ?

Also, if I go in the status of the phone, (setting,about phone,status)at the mobile network type I always see: UMTS. (while downloading something...)

If I use Firefly, with the same modem, now it switch UMTS to HSDPA if required.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
LOL I was tempted a I have flashed just about every ROM here....but this is a departure from the norm and I wanted to see if the hardware benefits Gingerbread offers would be realized and on the Captivate, not so much. What else will I"get" . Trying to be rational and not flash for the sake of flashing and understand what I am getting going down this path.

My Samsung drivers will be moot...so I won't be able to mount the SD card on the PC. I am reading adb may not work. Maybe when I see an actual video of the new UI etc i will be more enthusiastic. Usually I am. I really liked your ROMS and am Dling Serendipity as I write this.

Only problem is I need theme choices and I have borked ROMS flashing themes. I like dark themes. HATE the pea green Gingerbread themes...... The only theme i see is the Red. Looking for something like Darkness 2.5
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Works fine with accelerator control on and off.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Yeah I am getting that the difference is hard to explain....LOL Should be a video soon and I will try it when after it has aged a bit. I do appreciate the early adopters though and am reading every post on this thread.

I have the same thing and im on Rogers. Only 3G, and the last rom i was on i had "H". I've tried the JK4 modem and also the same thing.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Install the Nexus S drivers and you are good to go, in both cases.

There are dozens if theme choices in the main Android forum. And you can switch between then in the included Theme Chooser app.

Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod
[Captivate Android Development] gunzblaze007:
So, it appears that its only affecting us Canadian users (Captivate I896 on rogers network). My last ROM was Darky using a JL3 modem and i had "H" on it. Now i only get 3G (in areas where i used to get "H"). :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you're looking at "benefits" purely from the 2.3.3 update, which are all good (except front facing camera and NFC).

you can mount internal sd card just fine, and adb works just as well. there are a couple issues with package manager on the phone through command line so "adb intsall blah.apk" won't work. you also can't use reboot recovery/download, but you can use three button to get there fine.

also, themes, what do you mean only red? there is a honeycomb theme, a sense theme, white, blue, red, orange, etc all easily available in the "android themes" section of xda (not the captivate specific section, the overall one)... pick which one you like.
[Captivate Android Development] rnewton01:
Same thing here. No h symbol. Getting download speeds half of what I get with other roms
[Captivate Android Development] SSMI:
Some of the things I love about CM

Slide to dismiss notification

More control of brightness levels (you can edit the brightness for any given sensor value)

The gingerbread screen off animation

Control of what apps the touch button open

The new overscroll glow

Cutomizability of the notification power widget

Lock screen guesture app launch

Mute music on incoming notification (really nice when headphones are on)

The only things it is missing for me are

An OC/UV kernel (mainly for UV because it runs smooth so no need for OC)

WIFI buggy

Missing a couple of feature like TV out

I'm sure all these will be resolved. Right now my batter life isn't great but I am still looking for the right modem and using wifi set to never because of bugs. Otherwise it is amazing.
