Oh yeah you defiantly bricked it. J/K Does download and recovery still work? How would you of killed your bootloader. What did you do? Does everthing else still work? Splash screen is funked is all? I do think you did something to your bootloader but i'd try to reflash or something, maybe a bad flash due to odin,usb,not connected all the way, disconnected through the flash? I don't know. Try and flash back to stock with one click restore put on a ext4 kernel and retry
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
So I did

Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo and apply DEVICE-efsbackup.zip.

Then I used odin to flash the kernel and it went smoothly. The phone would not reboot using any method afterwards and so I did a battery pull. Now I cannot get into 3 button recovery. The i896 boot screen just keeps looping and when I let go of power, the phone shows a CM7 boot screen and stays there.

How do I get out of this mess that I made for myself :mad:?
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Correct. As long as u flashed a kernel that converts to ext4, ie, speedmod or firebird, maybe others.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
A jig. Sounds like it at least.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
Why do you put them in /system?

I have a folder at /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications and /ringtones and they both show up in the list of sounds to select. They do not get cleared with any ROM flash.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Because I didn't know any better! :D Thanks for the tip DamnMersault and Nix. That will save me a little time after each flash!
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
You can put them on your external SD card also with the same folder format and they will work also after a reboot. mnt/emmc/media/audio/notifications and mnt/emmc/media/audio/ringtones

I out them there in case I ever need to fix or format my sdcard and would loose everything. Worst case scenario is you have it backed up in the external sdcard and can copy the folders back into the sdcard.

Two questions:

1) Sliding over status bar for brightness increase/decrease sounds AWESOME, but I can't get it to work. I saw #21 changelog mentioned turning auto brightness off but I still don't see a change when I slide over it. Am I doing it wrong?

2) I somehow enabled an option that turns my Wifi on whenever I charge my captive. It's annoying and I've forgotten how to turn it off(I've looked everywhere!) Where is this option?

thanks!

Anyone else having problems with the last few builds? I have been having a very unstable framework and lots of force closes everywhere. I've done everything I could think of, including flashing back to stock with Odin one click. This happens on both the stock and other kernals. I've tried fixing permissions, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

1) Hold the bar for a second or two, then slide. See if that works for you.

2) It's in the Power Control widget down towards the bottom.
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
Works fine here. You have to hold status bar for a couple of seconds to activate and then slide.
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
Works fine here... maybe something got messed up during the flash?
[Captivate Android Development] socrated13:
Thanks so much :D

By the way, was looking at your sig, what modem do you find works best for CM7? I'm currently using JK4
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
It's not a dumb question. I had a similar experience when I first ROMed my phone to Perception back in January. I don't know if it was the modem or the kernel back then, though I'm fairly certain it is modem related, but I would go in and disable HSPA because of that. I seem to have this problem the most with JK4, but I haven't really tried out many of the other modems recently.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:

I had same problem with gapps force closing all time. Tried Odin to stock and reflash and ended with the same result. I ended up using Cache Cleaner NG. It deletes cache files stored on the sdcard as well. Works fine now.

Thanks man. So am I correct on the 800mhz freq? And is this problem a known cm7 issue? I have flashed back to stock. And it works on stock but not on cm7
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
2 questions...if i flash a new ver of cm7 over last build or whatever will i lose my apps and settings, or will it just flash right over like an update??? and whats the latest swype ver i can use here on cm7 when i restore from tibu it says used for a different device or something i forgot. just give me a version number or something..theres too many files on mobilism.org and i dont wanna do that beta testing you always have to like renew..thanks a lot! =D
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Almost posted the same question, but your post prevented me... thank you. However, after just now enabling that setting and seeing it work (yay!), I do want to say that it's not reacting as smoothly as I remember the Samsung ROMs doing it. For instance, I can press and hold in a particular spot, and it won't do anything until I move my finger. And sliding back and forth doesn't seem to change the brightness as fluidly.

Though to be honest, Idk which I like better... the fact that it waits for you to move your finger to change the brightness (CM7), or being able to press and hold at the left, middle, or right for a little bit and expecting it to snap to that brightness with no need to slide (Samsung). I never triggered Samsung's implementation by accident, so I think I prefer their's.

*shrugs* just something to think about devs as you improve the ROM... but in all, much <3 to you guys (er, or girls if any?)... that was the ONLY feature I missed from Samsung-based ROMs :D. THANK YOU!
[Captivate Android Development] Lucke:
a couple of concerns for me (i forgot what build number i'm running, and i'm not sure how to check it)

1) my home button does not work, or is not mapped any more

2) my lock screen is set, but the phone will not lock

does anybody know how to combat these issues?

also, my battery drops from ~80% to ~20% over night, but doesn't seem to drop any more after that.

If you don't know what build you're on, try updating. For future reference, it's located in settings >About Phone
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
No clue. I don't think it has changed. (I haven't flashed the latest yet). I know there is usually a thumbnail folder with previews.

You don't loose any data unless you decide to wipe it. For swype i have no clue, i don't use it, sorry.

1) For the home button i know that was in the FAQ a while ago. and it said Try a factory/data reset. I know its not the prefered method, but see if it works.

2) After restoring a nandroid i have this problem also. Tell me if you find a solution. I am gone to try a cache wipe, worst case maybe a data wipe :(

For the battery have you tried recalibrating your battery stats.

Kang 7.1 vs. Nightly 21...bottom softkey lights time out

I just moved from Kang 7.1 to the latest Nightly 21 and now my softkey lights time out like all other nightly before it. Worked great on Kang, now they time out after a few seconds. Makes it hard to see the symbols in dim light. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? I thought Nightly 21 was 7.1 based.
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
No setting. AFAIK you'd have to switch to a kernel that supported it, such as Escapist's, where they're on for as long as the screen is (no timeout), and only turn off when the screen does (unless BLN turned 'em back on (if you use BLN)).

[Captivate Android Development] Hickeroar:
I have found a significant bug that causes the phone to become essentially useless when encountered and forces you to restore from a backup. I've duplicated it, and it happened originally in #16, and again today in #21. Where do I report it?
[Captivate Android Development] pparavas:
What problem did you encounter buddy? I am not sure where you can report bugs for nightlys?
[Captivate Android Development] Hickeroar:
Mainly I want to report it because it's probably pretty low discoverability....assuming it's not just my phone. SGH-I897 btw. I just want to ensure that it doesn't get into the "stable" release.

Make sure you backup before trying to duplicate.

The first time I did it, running on #16, I had added the power control widget to the desktop. I toggled 2G/3G, and noticed that the icon on the notification bar stayed on HSDPA instead of dropping to Edge. I then used the power control widget to disable and re-enable mobile data. It disabled and re-enabled mobile data just fine, but it was still connected and showing HSDPA in the notification bar, and not Edge. I rebooted the phone for one reason or another and upon booting the ROM Manager background process gave me a force close. Then com.android.phone FC'd. Then it FC'd again. And again, and again and again.....etc. It repeatedly FC'd. I googled all sorts of "possible" solutions to this type of problem, cleared the cache partition and dalvik cache, and nothing worked. I even reinstalled #16 again. The problem remained. I had to restore from an old backup to get it to go away.

The second was today, running on #21. I used the notification widget to toggle 3G, and got the same behavior as the first time (failure to drop to 2G). To be clear, these were the ONLY two times I've EVER tried to toggle 2G/3G. This time I did NOT disable mobile data, but instead rebooted right away. When the phone rebooted I had the same endless crashes as the first time, and was forced to restore from a backup I made this morning.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
so the well known and already massively discussed "don't toggle 3G" bug that's been known since like, day one? the one that's mentioned in my FAQ here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24169-faq-cm7-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s/ (there's one for every device and all include the 2G/3G toggle error)? and the one already reported on the cyanogenmod issue tracker here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...on Model Network Owner Summary Stars Priority ?

Can anyone tell me where to get fonts for CM7? can we use the apk's we normally use with stock Rom ( i believe we cannot!) but is there a way to use or own custom fonts.

I have tried font changer long time ago but it slows down the phone so it is not good option. I have couple of cwm flashable zip but can I drop my own fonts in those and use?

[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
You do know CM7 is open source, right? They can take almost any piece of it they want, and use it without the CMSGS team. Manufacturers don't want AOSP (plus the extra CM adds), if they did they would do it themselves. They want their own skin on top of it to differentiate. Samsung probably just did it as a marketing ploy. It certainly makes me more likely to get a SGSII.

I agree, they wouldn't be able to close-source it unless they struck a deal with Cyanogen himself (which is an unlikely scenario). It does seem more of a marketing ploy and it does work.
[Captivate Android Development] tg9413:
Sad part is, even samsung want to import any fantasic stuff, they have to get approved by carrier who usually are the stuborns behind all the feature lock. For instant at&t, if not amazon pushing them, they probably will never enable non market apps installation.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
android (and therefore CM) is licensed under the apache license. although google and CM are open, samsung can take anything and everything they want and close source it all they want. apache means they don't *have* to open it up if they don't want to.

there would be no requirement or need to have support or even input from the CM team. at most, they'd be ask to give proper credit (i.e. thank cyanogenmod for some fixes or tweaks). but nothing is stopping hardware vendors from trolling the very public github repos and picking and choosing what they want.
[Captivate Android Development] the_boris:
Nope. Both Rom manager and About phone show that I have the Captivate version.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Flash it again. First.d where it is downloaded and flash via recovery. I think someone else a while ago had the same kind of issues and reflashed it and then it was fixed. At least that is what I would try first.
