I do download ROMS or pick ROM from SD card and click all the options, but then it reboots, brings to recovery mode and says reboot now, reinstall packages, wipe user data etc. NOthing else. I pick reboot now and bring back to my current stock version. I have tried this like 15 times now.

What I am doing wrong here? Probably am dumbo here :(
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
If you are installing cwm from stock, you need to pick reinstall packages.

[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
Does the newly updated AT&T APN data for build #123 give any performance gain? I can't find the reason for the change on the changelog anywhere.
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
Oops I hadn't expanded the comments section of the changelog. Looks like "wap.cingular is being deprecated." Quoted from the comment.
[Captivate Android Development] hal.jordan:
Stupid question, but what kind of a difference dies it make?
[Captivate Android Development] cfili:
LED notifications

Glad to see the nightlies building again. Did LED notifications make it into the latest build?

There are a few entries in the changelog referencing it but I do not see it in the settings anywhere.
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
Where do I get new gaps

I've been using one I got like back in April
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
It actually appears that the AT&T APN change was committed back around Aug 4th. This latest APN change is to revert back to wap.cingular.

The APN that was used in the Aug 4th change is the new APN settings that AT&T is putting on their 4G (HSPA+) phones. From what I have read on the topic elsewhere on the XDA forums, the new APN only works if you get a special 4G option added to your account by AT&T (even though it is not directly related to 4G). For now, reverting back to wap.cingular is best for us Captivate & Aria users, but not maybe not best for all the rest of the AT&T devices who's owners can probably use the new APN.
[Captivate Android Development] gstern:
it seemed to me as if cm wasn't switching to the 850mhz band correctly like Samsung's based roms did, I've noticed very low signal in places you'd expect to see the benefit of low frequency bands (inside buildings etc.). so i started to try out different modems and see if it made any difference. kg3 is my current, and so far so good.

this is led notifications, not backlight...

its different
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Where in the changelog does it show anything about or starting implement the led notifications? I see in #104 there was some led changes but not in #123. I would love to have them back at some point. I thought in the past you could add the older cmparts or something.

[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
Hi! After moving from stock, I lost my 3-button combo. I read around and in some threads, it said that flashing a GB bootloader would fix that. The GB Bootloader I found on the captivate thread had "Cm7 users, stay away" on it.

Can anyone recommend a good GB Bootloader that works with cm7? THANKS!
[Captivate Android Development] 4walls:
Well, I finally decided to update my ROM to CM7. Last night I downloaded the latest nightly build and then followed the steps below.

Of course... first started with TiBu full backup (about a month ago)

Coming from Mosaic V with GB bootloaders, I decided to flash back to stock first.

- flashed to stock following instructions from this post

- flashed to Rogers stock from here

- watched the video from MobileTechVideos

- flashed CM7

It works like a charm! I was missing a few features that I though it should have, but as I dug into the settings, more and more features surfaced. I am curious to see the battery performance, but it is hard to judge right now as I have been playing with settings and installing and configuring apps all day. Love the new ROM. Great job CM7 team!

One of the first things I installed was Go Launcher Ex and increased the columns and rows to 5x5.
[Captivate Android Development] n0stalgia:
Did BLN ever work for the stock kernel??
[Captivate Android Development] Jusrertiner:

[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
I still can't receive MMS and I'm on Rogers. Has anyone been able to solve this issue? All I see is the Download button and even when I click that nothing happens. This has been addressed before but I'm wondering if anyone on Rogers has been able to receive MMS. (BTW, I've flashed to CM7 from Stock Rogers 2.1, the one from Trusello's thread).
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Try going into settings in the stock SMS app, and toggling auto retrieve MMS off and on. Then try downloading it again in the stock app.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I've had no mms problems, also on Rogers. If it matters, I use handcent.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
perhaps a stupid question, but did you make sure there is a check in the box for mobile data enabled in settings>wireless>mobile networks

It's been lost on the clutter, but thanks, I'll have to try that. I hadn't noticed, but I rarely use my phone add an actual phone. XD
[Captivate Android Development] Jusrertiner:

Gingerbread bootloaders are supported by the latest nightlies.

Be sure you read the rest of that post though, because you could hard brick your phone while flashing bootloaders.

Anyone flashed nightly #124 yet? Any issues? I do not have my sim in it right now but was able to use wifi to download nightly #124 and install it. Everything seems to be working except for my wifi. It shows it is on and connected to my home wifi but I cannot get any data.

EDIT: I put my similar back in and got data via the radio and via wifi. Not sure why data wouldn't work (could not open anything app or browser wise without it saying no data connection). I may take the similar back out and test it again now.

Hi! Thanks for that reply! Can you tell me any reasons why I could brick my phone, aside from not having a good data cable connection mentioned in the post?

Also, can anyone provide the steps on how to flash this? Do I have to go back to stock Eclair first or something before flashing this?

My phone is experiencing bootloops right and since my 3-button combo is dead, I can't get to recovery and I'd need to jig up the download mode. Anyways, the only way to fix it that I can think of is to flash the stock Eclair. With that said, can anyone post a tutorial on how to flash Cm7 with the AT&T GB Bootloader coming from Stock Eclair! Thanks to anyone who would! :)

I know I am not suppose to talk about voodoo but I want to flash back to the cm7 kernel can I just use the zip file for the voodoo kernel and replace the zimage or is there more to it than that?

use the update zip, it'll flash the correct kernel and modules without wiping your user data

[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Been running for a few hours now, and this is sweet. The install procedure is pretty darn simple and painless really. I know everyone wants things as simple as possible and a CWM zip but really.....this is pretty simple and fairly quick for what you get in return.

Battery life for me on JL3 seems to be solid. Reading through the thread, I see several stating that JL3 was good for them too. 2hrs 41 minutes up time, 1hr 28min screen time and about 6 minutes of calls, couple of texts, about 5 minutes of GPS and I'm at 61%.

The only issue I am having is the market doesnt work. I downloaded the gapps and installed it. I have cleared market cache, nothing. Any ideas?

Also, asphalt game doesnt work which sucks. Tries to open, screen goes black, then back to the desktop.

This is a VERY impressive ROM.

captivate 1007 version modem woes

i used the kb1 modem bad qaulity on calls, i9000 dropped connections.

so decided i use the jl3 modem and use only 2g networks and then enable the data pack. so far with this setup my connection has been stable enough but only on "edge" atleast i can make calls that are clear. and just turn on the "h" when i need gps or internet use.

[Captivate Android Development] puneet_champ:
Did the Froyo i9000 based roms work for you without dropped netwrk connections?
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
Purpose of recalibrating battery is not to improve it's life, it's so that you get accurate readings.

It uses the full capacity voltage and then it measures power draw. It's a 1500mah cell and that rating is typically at full voltage of 4.2V (nominal 3.7v). Then begins the count down to a certain cut-off voltage.

Basically a buncha calculations to present battery life in a % format, the software has to be calibrated so it's more accurate in PRESENTING the data in % format. It has nothing to do with gaining more battery life.

you're gonna get the same battery life. The point is so the battery doesn't stay stuck at 90% for a LONG time and then suddenly drop. you're thinking hey, still 90% and bam, when in actuality, it should have been decreasing incrementally.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
my response remains valid. snake oil. after two days of usage it'll be exactly the same as "calibrating"... if your phone is running low, get it to a charger, if it isn't, don't worry about it
[Captivate Android Development] zuNcHAN:
Flashed this 3 times with different modems, currently on JL3 since it gets reception the quickest.

One issue though, I've double checked the HSPA/HSUPA is on before flashing each time and I never get the H icon in CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] puneet_champ:
Hi Kaik,

pls do try and post the results!! I jst reverted back to Froyo and dont want to go all over the process again! :( .. If it works, then will shift again!
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
yah I know. I'm not dis-agreeing with you. :P

It's just that a lot of people think that calibrating is supposed to give you better battery life, I was trying the clarify that the true purpose is just accurate reading. That is all.

And yes, it is snake oil if you think calibrating suddenly gave u extra power! (so thus we agree), my post was for those who think like above ;).

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
This is CM7? So im a little confused with your post... if your talking about flashing a nightly over the cm7.1 ROM, then yeah flash away. Lol, I don't think I've ever said this before.. but when you reboot or the phone boots up after flashing you'll see the cyanogenmod kernel splash followed by the android skateboard bootanimation.
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
no. I was talking about the GB Bootloader..
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
To get your 3 button combo back, backup everything on your phone and use Odin 1 click to restore back to stock (if you have AIO Toolbox installed, this will make everything so much faster and easier, just click the 'Flash to Stock' button).

Once that is completed, in AIO toolbox click the install custom rom option and follow the directions (point it to the latest CM Nightly that you will need to have downloaded on your PC).

I made a really long post probably 20-30 pages back regarding bootloaders, there is no performance differences between the Eclair bootloaders and GB bootloaders.

BUT, if you really must have them, after you have CM installed, you can install them.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
oh, now i see what you were asking :o. Should be all set. I've heard it works just fine. (I'm still on froyo bootloaders)

After flashing you would see the standard AT&T boot screen. It doesn't touch the ROM so nothing would be changed, making it safe to flash over CM7.

I'm having an odd issue. I'm on the latest nightly and whenever I go into my text message settings (the stock app) it freezes. I can kill the app and use my phone as normal EXCEPT I can't get into my texts until I restart. If I don't open the settings window I can use texts just fine.

I'm not saying that this has anything to do with the latest nightly. I go into the settings so rarely that I have no idea when this problem may have started. I've cleared davlik and fix permissions. Also tried reflashing the nightly and using another kernel just in case. Can't seem to get it to work.

Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
