Since when was CM7 ported from the i9000?
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
Since Jesus was born.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
It was ported from the nexus s, not the i9000. That is why we need to use the nexus s drivers for our PC's to recognize...

I still have this issue. Is there a fix? I know this isn't the way it should function (I should be able to just click on the pic in the message and see it). What's weird, too, is it is somewhat random...meaning, sometimes it shows up, other times it doesn't. What do I need to do? Or is there anything to do?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
I've never had issues with MMS. Which nightly are you running? And I assume you're on the stock messaging app.
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
Mine never did that... Maybe try a reflash?
[Captivate Android Development] MadGoat:
Having a problem with screen orientation...

The screen wont flip sideways when in gallery or the like... Wont flip at all in fact.

Youtube, and what not does... but I believe the app itself access the accelerometer directly. Anything else that utilizes the system setting wont...

OOn top of that, my phone is shutting off by itself when idle. It happens 4-5 times a day and is garunteed to power off at night while charging... (double suck because its used for it alarm aswell... didnt go off this morning)

I one clicked back to 2.3.5 and re installed fresh even... nothing else on the phone, still does it. (have yet to spend the time with it to see if its still shutting off however)

However my wife's cappy with virtually same setup (same theme and almost virtually same launcher and desktop setup) work just the way it should.

accelerometer IS working, youtube flips... but what gives? any insight?
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Not sure of the build # but it's the nightly from 11/7/2011. 172 I think?? And stock messaging app, yes.

Have tried this before...it's definitely a strange issue.

Have thought about trying a third party messaging app like Handcent but didn't want yet another app running to use more battery (the life is already somewhat poor as it is...).

More ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
Have you tried a different modem?
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Yes. Well, I say that...I know I have flashed some different modems but I'm not sure that I received an MMS while using each of them to know if it is a modem issue or not. Currently I'm using JK4. Is it likely that it would make a difference?

I use JK4 because it seems to get the best service for me where I'm located.
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
No idea if it would make a difference or not.. Just throwing stuff out there haha... I also use JK4.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Have you tried a newer build?? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
OK, well I'm going to give it a shot just to see if that corrects it. I'll try this first.

haha...I know, I know...and I've looked at flashing a newer nightly but it seems they get mixed reviews and some of the negative comments run me off. haha

[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
Pretty sure i read that in this thread

It was said that cm7 makers decided not to devote another entire team just for another i9000 variant, also something about too much time to make such small changes, wich im assuming would fix the issue

It would also explain the accelerometer lag if the i9000 doesn't use the exact same sensor as the captivate

Not too sure about that.

Just hoping to get some ideas as to why the accell lag on cm7 and if its possible to fix, really im about to give up altogether. ive posted about this several times but it appears im the only person affected/concernef with this. this is strange because my accell sensor works perfectly on Samsung Roms

Oh well, bye bye CM :(
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
Right, but it was ported for the i9000,

which was then made to work on the captivate. This must be why i9000- cm7 doesnt have an issue w/ accelerometer lag.

I guess i shouldve paid a crap-load more for a phone that doesnt look half as sweet as this phone ha ha

Either way im still happy. :)

I guess (i) just want a FULLY functional ROM that was made specifically for my phone.

Its really no big deal at all and i dont like to complain. Its just frustrating because the one place where people who have the answers hang out... is the last place they want to answer questions.:/ Its like some kind of secret society/helpcenter not a good combo!

Thats why this stuff shoulnt be free,

People who get paid are much more willing because its not just a hobby and they dont see it as what separates them from others (effectively screwing us noobs). Granted if i spent hours of my life figuring how create software for a mobile device i would feel the same way! It just sucks for noobs who just want something cool on their phones but dont hav the time to read everything only to find themselves HELPLESS on a number of issues. I think it should be made harder for the people who arent so helpless, not the other way around.

-rant over
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
You read incorrect information then. Although, its just a matter of perspective I guess. I have was in the dev channel for CM7SGS from before the first public build, until they closed it to non-team members. Atinm has always been one of the lead developers, and he has a captivate. Almost everything in the captivate is identical to the i9000. The accelerometer is the same, just physically rotated on the board, as is the compass. There are other small differences as well, but they are very very similar. And both devices use some software from the Nexus S. The captivate CM7 was not "ported" from the i9000. They were made simultaneously.
[Captivate Android Development] CptTwinkie:
Also I was just playing an accelerometer controlled game. No lag. The only lag I've seen is in the interface and it's so uniform I would imagine that has to do with polling times which would be up to the dev afaik.

That did the trick. It seems so obvious after a night of rest. I stayed up pretty late trying to install CM7. Thanks for your help.

Well here's something funny. I went to bed, woke up, and the market works all of a sudden. I could download and install any app I want now. The FC are gone now too, it's weird why it suddenly works. I will get that latest version anyway since it seems like it functions better. Thank you for that bit of info.

And thanks for the indepth advice. I tried to flash CM7 while still on Apex and using the CWM3 kernel from darkcore, however it kept failing so I went to froyo/eclair per instructions as I didn't know what else to do. Hopefully I won't have issues like that in the future when updating to future builds of CM7. That's very helpful advice man, I will definitely keep all this in mind for my future android endeavors. Thanks again! :)

And funny thing, I got an email from google telling me "Welcome to Nexus S". That's how we know CM7 is ported Nexus/i9000

My screen orientation doesn't seem to work either. Would like to know about the issue and fix for this as well.
[Captivate Android Development] albatros79:
i did something stupid and my phones is bricked now. i tried all button combinations which i found in forums but none of them worked.

due to character set problem, i put some turkish fonts to system/fonts folder directly but did not delete old fonts either. it was good since i turned my phone off.

after i restart first at&t logo and then GALAXY S / cyanogen (mod) logo appears but nothing further.

i tried to put it into download mode but failed. and when i connect it to pc , aio captivate tool checks it connection and found it is not connected in debug mode.

either turned off or turned on situation, pc founds it as mass storage device in device manager but nothing appears in my computer.i just ordered a usb jig which is my last hope. please advise if there is any suggestions from an expert for this case.

i was using nightly builds of cm7 (132 i guess)
[Captivate Android Development] MadGoat:
I found a way to fix the screen orientation...

Add the power widget to your desktop ... make sure orientation is selected in its options... and then toggle your screen orientation with the widget.. your screen will then start working correctly.

I left it on... then deleted the widget... went into adequate launcher settings and set my "home orientation" to portrait... that way everything else flips... except my desktop... (they way I like it)

Try it, gl to ya...
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Pull the battery to shut it off. hold the vol - and vol + and plug into usb, that should get you into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] apbthe3:
Boog's button combo suggestion is correct, but if you have one of the unlucky Captivates without a working button combo, this won't work for you. If that's the case, you can either use ADB to get into download mode or, the easy way, wait for your jig to arrive, which will definitely work.

If you do have a phone without working button combos, flashing to Gingerbread bootloaders will fix it right up. Just don't flash bootloaders anymore afterward, both because it's unnecessary and because you'll lose your button combo again if you flash back to 2.1/2.2 bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] albatros79:
unfo, that is not working, battery icon appears directly,

since i was using cm7 nightly builds , shouldnt it be using gingerbeard's bootloaders ?

i wish i knew how to use adb shell. i was using aio captivate tool, but it could not find device in debug mode.

i will search for adb shell now because i am living in Turkey and ordered from China,

so it will most probably take more than 15 days to get it.

by the way i am buying it from ebay and seller states that "it does not work with latest European Version 2.34 or above version, you have to return your device to old version to use."

is there anyone get it? isnt usb jig free from phone firmware?

it was too cheap actually , so i am doubtful (less than 2 usd ,free shipping) :)
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Might try it a few times, could also try plugging the end into the phone first, hold the buttons, then plug it into the computer.

If not then you probably have one of the ones that don't have a good 3 button combo like apbthe3 said.

You can also try (as apbthe3 noted), getting adb installed, then try adb reboot recovery, and see if you can reflash cm7. Or adb reboot download, then flash a working rom.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
Will nightlys resume or is cm7 done? Time for cm9 with ics?
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
The build bot is broken. Nightlies will resume when it's fixed. Until then, use a kang build if you want to flash new stuff.

cyanogen also said on twitter that 7.2 should be out in a few weeks.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
I saw those posts but was wondering I'd they would just switch.

Why do cm7 and cm9 at the same time?
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
pull the battery, hold both volume buttons (keep holding), insert usb cable, insert battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
CM9 (ICS) is likely not going to run on all phones that can run CM7 because the hardware requirements for ICS are greater than they were for GB. Plus, ICS is not yet stable on all the phones CM runs on (if any, at this point), so it makes sense to keep development going on all fronts.
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
The team hacksung ics is very stable, just doesn't have everything working yet (video recording being the prime example)
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
A "stable" release would necessarily entail everything working correctly that can work. "Your phone does not crash constantly" does not mean it's "stable."
[Captivate Android Development] singlebeam:
This is sometimes the only way I can get my captivate into download mode....by inserting battery with vol buttons held and the usb plugged in.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I understand what your saying here but TeamHacksung ICS has most everything working on it as it does for CM7 on the Cappy. There are issues with some apps but that is an APP DEVELOPER ISSUE and not being ready for ICS. Otherwise pretty much it all works already.

I started on CM7 when data didn't even work on the Cappy, once what is/was considered a STABLE build STILL DID NOT have everything working as compared to the nightlies after it that worked better and had more function.

It is a pretty good and functional version, does it need work, of course. But it is only the beginning and will get better. Like I said earlier CM7 took quite a while to even get this far as compared to how kickass of a job they are doing on ICS. The only thing I can think of (that I actually use on occasions) is the video recording. So that is. It bad, almost all my apps I was able to restore and have work on their ICS build. The apps I can think of that are not working for me are: OS MONITOR, HBO GO, maybe a few others that aren't critical. Plus my Cappy is my backup/test phone as I have my SGS2 running CM7 also.

[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
We're clearly working with two different definitions of "stable." I'm not trying to knock the CM team; far from it. Their work is just ridiculous, and the fact that they've been able to come as far as they have with ICS in the short period of time they've had it is nothing short of incredible. But, they are nowhere near "stable" with their ICS build in the traditional sense that term is used in software development.

Their ICS build right now is at "alpha" stage, maybe very early "beta" at best. The list of known issues listed in the thread is far too large to be considered anything else. Video recording doesn't work, FM radio doesn't work, wifi is glitchy, USB tethering isn't right...I could go on. That doesn't mean the release will crash your phone, and it also doesn't mean the release isn't perfectly usable. Looking over the list of known issues...I'd say most of that stuff probably wouldn't bother me at all. But it's not a stable CyanogenMOD release, and won't be without significantly more testing/refinement.

Team Hacksung has churned out some awesome work, and their ICS build may have gotten to the point now where you would consider it "good enough" to be your daily driver. That's fine; to each his own, and it's a credit to Team Hacksung can put together an alpha release that's still good enough (or "stable" enough, to use the wrong word) for people to want to use it now. But they have not reached a point where they're willing to put the CyanogenMOD name on it or consider it a stable release. That's not a knock or an insult to the team, it's just an acknowledgement of the reality of where their software is in the development cycle.

can someone tell me if i can put my phone into download mode with usb jig?

i was using cm7 nightly builds.

because it seems jig doesnt work for firmware 2.3.4 and above.

i dont know which version of bootloader i was using.
[Captivate Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
That's the point of the jig, to put your phone into download mode. And afaik, it doesn't matter which version of GB your on, im on 2.3.6 and my jig works as expected.
[Captivate Android Development] albatros79:
i hope you are right

but the link i bought the jig (havent receive it yet)

ebay link

it is saying "it does not work with latest European Version 2.34 or above version, you have to return your device to old version to use."

and i dont know which version i have as an amateur.
[Captivate Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Thats very odd, you should've ordered from MobileTechvideos, the owner of that site is an xda member and with good rep too afaik.. Anyway, im no dev but i think the jig calls dl mode from another source, not the firmware, so whichever version should not matter. And reverting to another FW before you can use the jig beats its purpose don't you think? Doesn't make sense to me.
[Captivate Android Development] albatros79:
This link says just the opposite

[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
There is one, or sometimes up to two main developers doing the work for the Galaxy S and Captivate (pawitp and me). Any work on CM7 is usually just from upstream - we're not doing anything specific for the devices for CM7 unless it is shared work with CM9. We get help from many others but the basic device specific development is almost all pawitp nowadays and our concentration is on CM9.
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
You could try flashing a different modem. There's a thread in the development section with a huge list of them. If that doesn't help, you might have to reflash the ROM

Sent from my ICS i897 Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
There are technical reasons why the fingerprint on CM7 for SGS phones is a Nexus S fingerprint. If you are curious, search the thread, or maybe a dev will post the reason again.

To get software that is only available (or only free) for Samsung phones or AT&T phones, flash back to a Samsung firmware and download the apps you want from the marketplace. Next use TiBU to backup the apps. Then reflash CM7 and use TiBU and restore the apps you backed up.
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
The jig triggers download mode with a specific resistance (301k ohms) across pins 4 & 5 of the USB port, although this resistance can vary so 3 100k resistors wired in series with one end touched to each pin will work.

You can make your own jig easily and cheaply with resistors purchased at any electronics/hardware store (RadioShack in the US is one example). There are also several threads about how to make jigs.
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
Market does not read my phone like a Nexus S. It is not only for free games, paid ones as well. It allows samsung samsung sgh... not the samsung sgh.. by itself. It is on the build.pro and It can be fixed. It is how the phone identifies itself to the market.. You can change it to whatever you like.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I am aware that the fingerprint in the build.prop can be changed. I can't tell you exactly why CM7 for SGS phones uses the Nexus S fingerprint, but it does (feel free to search this thread for "fingerprint" if you don't believe me). If this has been changed, it is a recent change and hopefully one of the Devs can comment on it.

If you want to change your build.prop, go ahead, but for some reason Team Hacksung decided to use the Nexus S fingerprint.

actually, it doesn't. it used to a long time ago, but I submitted a change to fix that about a month ago.

[Captivate Android Development] :
I know this may sound really stupid, and I'm most likely getting flamed, but from my understanding (and experience) the KB1 roms I ran (Cognition, and Fasty) had all the voodoo tweaks, and HSPA (HSDPA and HSUPA), alongside audience chip support. Since we have source for i896 GB would it not be possible for a kernel dev, not CM to do the same? Once they can get it to compile of course.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
It is not possible to have HSUPA and Audience support at the same time. Both depend on the modem and there are no known modems that have both. You have to pick either an Audience (Captivate) or HSUPA (i9000) modem and then run a matching kernel for your modem.

A kernel dev could create a Audience enabled kernel, but it would mean losing HSUPA. There are quite a few people who have suggested this as an option, but so far no kernel dev has been interested in taking up the challenge.

I recommend "GPS aids", from the market. Nice reviews and free. It will update your xtra data every few days, among other things.

If you have an FM transmitter in your car, don't use it, it will make gps unsusable.

Try disabling Wi-Fi on any equipment in your car. Disabling BT might also help (didn't test it, but a friendo told me).

I tested the antenna hw fix, inserting some stuff on the back on my cap to keep it in touch with the back cover, but I didn't notice any difference. However, some people say it does help. Look for gps hw fix.
