I too used rom manager last night for the 05162011 nightly and lost gapps. I reinstalled them and they worked. I decided to find where rom manager downloaded it and copied it to the sdcard. Next I went into recovery, cleared cache only, then used cwm to flash it. This time I did NOT lose gapps. (I did NOT redownload it so it is the same one). Maybe it is just something that rom manager is doing when it flashes it. When I originally did it via rom manager I un-clicked wiping anything since I had already wiped cache via cwm just prior. Maybe this will help give some ideas of what is going in for the CM Team.

[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I never had a problem with gapps and never needed to flash it again with the updates. I installed 05/16 through rom manager w/ backup & wipe dalvik cache, and lost my gapps. I installed the one from rom manager and all is good now. strange that i lost it though, and also noticed that gtalk went back to the old style again but i flashed the latest gapps.... from what i think.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
You can flash to CM7 now from anything with a Captivate bootloader. You cannot flash from a i9000 GB bootloader unless you want to have problems (such as missing SD card).

It is irresponsible for chefs to be cooking i9000 based GB ROMs that use the i9000 bootloader without providing clear instructions on what is happening and how to revert back to stock. The CM7 thread is not a support thread to ask how to revert back to stock from other ROMs. Those questions are best asked in the thread for the ROM you are using.
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
Same here. A reflash of gapps fixed my issue.
[Captivate Android Development] ipxnsv:
Ive tried flashing the latest available gapps from RomManager and the ones that were attached 2 pages back. Anything in particular you have to do in order for them to show up?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
doctahjeph just mentioning reflashing gapps and it worked. right above you actually ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ipxnsv:
Got it. Installed CM 3.x and refalshed apps
[Captivate Android Development] dave1977nj:
my google apps stay on my phone but when i try to open the market it opens and closes really fast. Only fix for me is to reinstall google apps. Also even with previous builds on the Androidian theme sometimes the icon for the wifi and the data connection turns white?
[Captivate Android Development] tdbgamer:
If anyone is having trouble with installing gapps multiple times and they won't show up, I fixed that by choosing update cwm, choose captivate, and tell it your using 3.x.x
[Captivate Android Development] Snow_fox:
So a bit random but, thanks for delivering us some major security fixes.

Interestingly enough all my google apps continually force close.
[Captivate Android Development] ipxnsv:
Ah, looks like a total system meltdown. Force closures on everything.
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
I would try running permissions fix. Sounds permission related if it affects all apps.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
How do i update through rom manager? whenever i keep trying it never goes through. IS there a way i can manually grab the file it downloads place it on the sdcard and do it through cwm?

edit: i got it to update cause whenever my phone would try to update it would do it on 2.5 cwm so i made it do it on 3.0 and now everything works fine with google apps still there intact
[Captivate Android Development] eatonjb:
I don't know what the heck is happening.

I had a clean install of this.. and its not just laggy.. its almost unusable!!! the phone rings, and just by the last ring i might be able to answer it.

i tried everything, i even wiped it, and it still starts doing it.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
YES. IF rom manager ACTUALLY did download it. Just use root explorer and go to sdcard, clockworkmod, download, romshare.deployfu.com (folder), downloads, 5, 70, then you will see the cyanogenmodupdate.zip, copy it, then paste it into your sdcard. Then reboot to recovery, install zip from sdcard, it will flash it via cwm.

Doing it this way the second time I did it I did NOT lose gapps or anything.

Thanks i got it to work through rom manager finally and my google apps wasn't touched at all. But this is always good to know thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I have read back about 30 pages and dont see much about it so could some people post how their battery life is? I was on CM early on and battery wasnt to my liking which was a known issue. I have been waiting on it to become more stable and battery life to improve as I do use my phone for work at times.

Any input would be appreciated because unfortunately Im on GB bootloaders and would have to reflash bootloaders to switch and I dont want to do that until its ready. I can live with less battery life, but Im getting 4hrs of total screen/call time right now.
[Captivate Android Development] Tinyboss:
Battery life was awful for me during most of the time I've been on CM7, but a few updates ago they did something that really improved things. I think the main problem was that, even when idle, the phone was eating battery. Now it uses very, very little juice while idle (as one would expect). Based on a computation of (time unplugged) / (amount of battery used) at the end of the day, I'd say I could get 36 hours or so under the version I have now (5/15 nightly).

I don't use my phone very heavily, but even if I did, I think I'd have no problem hitting that magic 18-hour mark where I can charge it only while I sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
That happens on ALL GB Roms with the FIRST call.

It will be fine after that call.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
does anyone know whats the difference from 5/15 and 5/16 nightly?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I think the only difference is the 5/16 nightly fixed the RM install. When they released 5/15 with RM install something got f'd up and they fixed it the next day. At least thats kinda what i gathered. Someone correct me if I'm wrong:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Dude, changelog is right there in the OP. No change except to support ROMManager.
[Captivate Android Development] brendanmurphy:
I used rom manager to update to 15 do I need to upgrade to 16 ?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
there's no changes, so no not really;)
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys,

I'm ready to make another attempt at flashing the latest nightly here, and was wondering if someone can take a look at the steps I'm going to take and give me some input or corrections if necessary? I've been following this thread since day 1 and there are still a lot of things I'm not completely clear on.

1. Using Odin One-Click flash back to stock 2.1 JF6.

2. Root.

3. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery via update.zip

4. Clear battery stats and Dalvik cache.

5. Place update-cm-7-INITIAL-Captivate-signed.zip and update-cm-7-05152011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip on internal SD.

6. First flash update-cm-7-INITIAL-Captivate-signed.zip

7. Reboot.

8. Then flash update-cm-7-05152011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip

9. Reboot.

10. Flash GApps.

11. Reboot.

Am I missing anything, or anything I'm doing incorrectly?

Thanks for the help!
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
I'm having serious issues with my data connectivity after updating to 3/16. Even after flashing back to 3/15 my connections just keep timing out
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thats about exactly how I did the install this time!:)

..i think I already had the initial and nightly on my sd card when i flashed clockworkmod recovery via update.zip

And there was no need to root, i three buttoned to 2eRecovery and reinstalled packages (update.zip)
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Same here. I flash every nightly within a day it comes out and have never lost any apps.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
1. Open ROMManager.

2. Go into Download ROMs.

3. Find TeamHacksung's CyanogenMod 7.

4. Allow it to addon GApps.

5. Let it do its thing.

6. Done.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
I don't trust ROM Manager. ;)

Thanks dude!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
ROMManager just does what you are going to do by hand. Anyway, you don't need the NIGHTLY, just the INITIAL when coming from Froyo. No need to do anything else like battery stats etc - we clean your phone out completely. Also, soon we will not have sourceforge updates - it is a pain when ROMManager works just fine and is the way CM7 updates are done.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Thanks for the info! More things I didn't know!

What is the difference between the "initial" and "nightly"? Running the zip wipes the dalvik cache as well?

What if I'm coming from 2.1 and not 2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
only difference is 0516 nightly added support for ROM Manager (look at the changelog in the OP, 1st post) . And as far as I know directions are the same. If you are rooted on 2.1 get ROMManger up and download rom- teamhacksung cm7- install gapps as well.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
2.1 is perfect (so is 2.2 but harder to get root on, so 2.1). You just need to be rooted, and have installed ROMManager and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery. After that just Download ROMs, find TeamHacksung CyanogenMod 7, Download, Choose GApps addon, and go.

Last time I answer this - if this is too hard, people shouldn't be flashing anything.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Cool! The details are starting to make a little more sense to me now. Thanks for clearing that up guys!

I'm assuming that CM7 nightlies can be flash over top of one another via ROM Manager now as well?
[Captivate Android Development] amerikian:
Sorry I've been away from CM7 for a while playing with 2.3.3 i9000 releases. I just installed the 5.16 Nightly and all is great.....until i try to play music. No songs show up. It doesn't seem like a media scan is occurring, and no files show up on my external sd card. But i can navigate to it and open it, it just shows DCIM but there should be more.

Tips? Hints? Or does this ROM not support external SD yet?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Did you flash back to stock before install CM? One of the known problems of using the 2.3.3 bootloaders with CM is lack of external sd.
[Captivate Android Development] novagator:
This happened to me as well. In my case, the directory for the External SD became /emmc. Nothing shows up any longer under sdcard/externalsd, but everything shows up under /emmc.
[Captivate Android Development] amerikian:
I flashed from 2.3.3 so that explains it. I should flash this from stock 2.1 JF6 CWM?

Any way to get around it my current situation without going all the way back to stock?? This ROM is amazing except for this issue. And i didn't see this highlighted in the OP...but may have overlooked it.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
2.1 or 2.2 is fine.

And no, not really. It does explicitly say that you must be on a 2.1 or 2.2 rom before flashing in the instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericSYN:
Maybe include the fact that you can flash from 2.1 rooted in instructions and people won't ask the question. Good work though! Much appreciated updates. Unless you feel everyone should already assume froyo and eclair bootloaders are compatible.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
So the only way to update CM7 will be to buy a third party app???
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
What do the bootloaders have anything to do with this? Those bootloaders are fine, its the version of android that makes it easy or difficult to get CWM setup. On 2.1 rooting is easy, 2.2 not so much... simple. There are no other bootloaders, I9000 bootloaders are NOT for our phones and will probably never ever have any kind of support for CM7 for the Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
The app is FREE..... where did you see you need to pay? If you want to have update "notifications" then you need to pay. Otherwise just download and install the updates when you know one is available.
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Don't i9000 phones have cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Where will you download said updates if not from sf...
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Your not understanding... I was saying that there is only one kind of bootloader for our Captivates.. for 2.1 & 2.2 its the same ****. Yes I9000 has CM7 and they have their own bootloaders. Since we got that I9000 reoriented kernel with bootloader its been causing mass confusion. Regardless, our phones run CM7 for Captivate, not I9000, so there is no bootloaders to worry about, unless you used one of the Sammy 2.3.3 roms.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Its right there in the OP...........

Just open rom manager, go to download rom, select team hacksung, and download the latest nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] amerikian:
After rereading the Teamhacksung site it does state that...I just saw CWM and thought I was good to go....oh well. Back to 2.1 stock, flash Cog 4.4.2, DL RM, DL CM7 Nightly...back in biz. Helps me kill the last minutes of the day.

Thanks for the support!
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericSYN:
Ok well that's great you can correct my minor error in word usage, but still people are asking if they can use 2.1 rooted to flash this and it isnt included in the instrctions end of story. And to adress your ROM manager question THERE IS A PREMIUM VERSION. Look it up. It is required to use the download rom featrure. Unless of course your installing from SD. Unless I'm just completely delusional........
[Captivate Android Development] zeezz:
Just click download roms, it still lets you see teamhacksung files. downloading right now from free version.
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericSYN:
If that is true then I rest my case.
[Captivate Android Development] Baltix:
I went back a few pages to see if reported-

Nightly Rom Manager install default is JL3. Not sure if intentional with user to flash JK4, which I did. Worth mentioning?

Works wonderfully! Gave me a reason for buying Rom Manager premium :) Wish part of proceeds went to SGS CM7 team!
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
That's what I was asking...

Not used to free version letting you download updates. TY
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
this is superrr easy lookin goin to grab rom manager soon and take a wack at getting 2.3.4 installed lookin forward to having great success
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
I think they are free for Teamhacksung. It is developers choice whether to allow free or premium http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/03/rom-manager-and-third-party-roms.html
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Don't get me wrong...

All these guys are well deserving of the money.

I just thought it was weird if it was a requirement to purchase for updates.

But that's not the case.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Reporting in. I just flashed as per OP instructions and have been playing around for a few minutes now. It is very laggy and the image choppy. And quite often, when I make a selection in the menu, it'll get stuck fading out.

Anyways. Starting all over again. We'll see what happens!

From what I can see, it looks like an amazing ROM! Thanks dudes!
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Is this still considered beta?
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
Can someone please post the "old" installation instructions (pre- ROM Manager), they are no longer on the site (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/) This Rom Manager installation is NOT working well with my phone (slow to no data connectivity). I would like to reinstalling this CM7 build with the prior 'Recovery Mode' method.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
btw, the idea behind ROM manager integration is to prepare for merge to mainline (and work out any potential bugs that might pop up with ROM manager--already two have been squashed related to google apps and wiping /data). as is common for CM devices, ROM manager will be the most practical way to update revisions (and nightlies will, once merged, require the premium app... just like every other device running CM). once we are mainline, we will also have access to the teamdouche build farms and there will be updates provided on their site as well as ROM manager. Until then, ROM manager will be the primary way to update, but the sourceforge files will also be updated in the process.

the only reason 5/16 isn't on sourceforge is because there is nothing new from the 5/15 build.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:

[Captivate Android Development] mehdi_s82:
On all of the ROMs I have seen so far, in the dialer, when I pressed numbers used to see contact (list of contacts) which start with those alphanumerical numbers.

But on CM7, the dialer just shows the numbers pressed and it doesn't show any contact or contact list based on the pressed numbers. Is there a way to enable this? Or how can I replace the dialer with some others?
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
This is honestly the only thing I miss about samsung roms. from what I hear there are alternate dialers that have this feature, but I haven't tried any myself.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:

[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Saw that @cmsrc tweet.

Just made the big leagues! ;)

Guess that answers the dl question for people (myself included) who have been burned by flashing with ROM manager.
[Captivate Android Development] mehdi_s82:
Do you know any specific dialer that does this?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
First of all, Go Dialer is a nice alternative.

Second, what's MTD? I see it's on the CM site though, so congrats!

Lastly, can someone provide any resources on Focus Loss Ducking? When notifications play, the volume of the music goes down, the notification plays over it, but instead of rising back it just drop to 0 and then rises back. It's been an issue since this thread was started, and I'm wondering why. I'd ADORE this feature and am looking forward to it a lot. Any clues on why it won't work?
[Captivate Android Development] madamimadam:
somewhere in the last three updates my GPS went from useless to almost useless. Was there something that got changed or did I just have a good day?
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Hmmm.... good question. I just assumed the TD is "team douche", but the M has me stumped... O_o
[Captivate Android Development] flucks:
I had to do it the old way because it wasn't working correctly and the first time I booted into CM7 the auto rotate feature is borked. All the buttons are as well. There is about a 100% chance I screwed something up, but I just can't figure out what :/
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Mtd has to do with the partition setup. Nothing related to team douche at all. :p
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
That makes more sense! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] xfaith:
------Post Deleted----
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I too did not know what MTD is/was except for seeing it in Rom Manager. So does that mean flashing ClockworkMod Recovery will work now or soon? What other aspects does this entail? Like being able to get download mode or something (sorry just grasping for the unknown here).

When I install Google Apps, it doesn't seem to appear. It goes through the reboot and the apparent install, but market and other apps aren't there. What is the problem?

EDIT: Nevermind. I guess it required multiple flashes for some reason before it finally popped up.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
MTD is another type of raw device, just like Samsung has BML. It does the same thing but is open source. We use MTD on all CM7 devices and so Captivate (MTD) means a Captivate that is using the MTD devices rather than the Samsung BML devices. It helps us differentiate from the Samsung Gingerbread ROMs because those ROMs will not work on MTD devices, and our ROM will not work on BML devices.

[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
Hmmmmm...

Installing via ROM Manager sounds great. BUT!!!!!!

There is only one version to download and I assume it is for the I9000 not for the Captivate.

So if we download it as is suggested in this forum, dont we risk installing the I9000 ROM instead of the Captivate ROM???

Not sure what effect that will have, but I suspect it isnt good. Otherwise we wouldnt need different roms for I9000 and captivate.

Any thoughts gents???
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Nowhere in this thread does it suggest to download an i9000 version. If you read the OP and follow the instructions there are 2 ways to install this. The easy way (ROM Manager) and the hard way (sourceforge). If you use ROM Manager. Select download ROM, go through the prompts to flash clockworkmod recovery (3.X) for captivate. Choose teamhacksungs cyanogenmod, select nightly.

The only CM7 files you want to download for the ROM or update will say Captivate in the filename.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
if you have a captivate, you will only see the captivate builds. if you have an i9000, you will only see i9000 builds. and so on and so forth.
[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
Thats sounds great in theory. But when I try and use ROM Manager and select download rom, it doesnt give any choice of which model phone. It only comes up with "CyanogenMod 7" and a download button.

Hence my question. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
Awesome. Thats the answer I needed.

Thanks :D
