[Captivate Android Development] mortuus.x:
I did, however that didn't make a difference given that it's the same one as the one in ROM Manager. That said, as sweetwaterburns mentioned I had to enforce CWM 3 vs 2.5 in order for it to work. I'm now restoring my google apps as you read this.

Thanks to both of you though. NOW we can see if I can live with this as a daily driver. Given it's a work phone where they expect to be able to page me off hours stability will be key. I'm not oncall for another week so I should be able to put it through its paces. So far, it seems speedy and looks sharp. We'll see how it works outside of near stock capabilities.

Cheers!
[Captivate Android Development] nolimit78:
I have had this same issue with my captivate. I've tried to manually install the apps and it still doesn't work. On the HTC Vision sometimes you had to manually mount the system folder. I tried that and it's telling me that it can't mount. Any thoughts?

EDIT: This is a problem for people not using CM3. I remembered along with the Vision that you had to have CM3 to work with the newer partitions. Flashed CM3 and now I'm on my way. Thanks all.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Just to clarify, you did try flashing GAPPS as a zip directly in CWM correct? I never got ROM manager to do it.
[Captivate Android Development] FireRaider:
where else is it?

I am wanting to flash back to CM7 again but I am at work and have no wifi. I am running a TMO card for my data side and rom manager is downloading the rom and gapps but it is so painfully slow with only edge speeds.

Is there a place i can download the stableist version (not the latest nightly?) onto my computer then transfer it to my phone to speed up the process?

Apparently the douche part of the teamdouche causes our filter here to block that site. LOL.

Would the file on sourceforge labeled "update-cm-7-INITIAL-GalaxyS-signed.zip" and dated 2011-05-15 be the one i am looking for? Just point rom manager at it and sit back and watch?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
That's why you wait for a release in Rom Manager. That is where the team releases their tested and approved versions. Like I said, I could be wrong, just taking everything into consideration. I'll wait till it shows in Rom Manager, then flash. That way, I know they gave it the green light.
[Captivate Android Development] mortuus.x:
Airtower and Joeybear23, I managed to get sorted with gapps. I did have to install them directly in CWM, but using v3.0 was key. The default is 2.5x which after reading further was my problem all along.

Thanks very much for the help guys. I'm restoring missing apps + data now so we'll see how it all goes. Not sure what I did right this time, but Tibu isn't forcing me to acknowledge each app install. Man that was always annoying when flashing.

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
I am going to continue flashing manually for now, what is the main page to watch?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
No need for Odin. Flash from cwm or ROMManager.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Is this really how it is? I've been trying to figure this all out myself too between teamdouche.net/sourceforge/ROM Manager. Basically, my understanding is this:

If you want the CM7 nightlies that are released everyday for every other phone as well, which are experimental/untested/no official support, then download from http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=captivatemtd and flash from CWM.

If you want more official/tested builds from teamhacksung, which will probably incorporate the fixes/features from the nightlies, but for which aren't released as frequently as the nightlies, download and install from the ROM Manager when an update appears.

As for the files on sourceforge, considering they aren't even linked anymore in the OP, they have been replaced by the ROM Manager method of installing teamhacksung's releases.

Please correct me if I'm wrong or I'm being a total noob.
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
Ok, I don't know if I'm confusing you or myself :confused: lol.. but I did get this update from ROMManager. It's now under the Premium section, CyanogenMod Nightlies. There are 0-5 builds so far and build #3 is the one that worked for me. From what I understand reading the completely re-vamped OP on this thread and the post from Kaik.. they will be running auto-built nightlies that are not tested from here on out.

So I guess once CM7 in general becomes stable, CM7 for our captivates will also be stable because it's all mainline now. Or something like that.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I see nothing under Premium so you are seeing something I am not. I have the paid version of Rom Manager. I'll check tomorrow and see if anything changes for me
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
just flashed build # 5 and works so far ! restoring some apps atm almost done
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
This is how I understand it.. I hope I'm not too far off :)
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
so what is this mainline that you guys are talking about
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
In ROM Manager in download ROMs, at the very top it says premium with nightlies underneath. Underneath that it says Free and you got GApps, xtras, koush ROMs and teamgacksung.

(I'm using paid version)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Galaxy s phones are now officially supported Cyanogenmod. We can now get nightlies from the cyanogenmod site.
[Captivate Android Development] malbolgias:
So will there be a stable version now?
[Captivate Android Development] Houka420:
Do you need the paid version to get updates? I'm running 20110516 right now and seen that there may be a newer version 20110519. I have the free version and I'm not seeing nightlies and also when I click on download rom\teamhacksung it just comes back blank. Do I need the paid version to get updates?
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
well i am seeing 2 different cynogens under free and then the nightlies under premium, one of the ones under free doesnt have anything under it, where did that one come from.
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
Tried Restoring and then bricked

Hey all,

Ran into a problem with CM7 yesterday and tried to restore to Serendipity rom via CWM. got an error whiel flashing boot image and then it froze/bricked on the AT&T World Phone Screen. Had to odin it up and reflash back to serendipity and then do a restore. Coudl this be because I used CWM 3.x.x.x instead of the 2.5 version used to create the backup? Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I'm just guessing here but the free section cyanogenmod says for mods and is empty, the Teamhacksung also is empty for me so I am guessing that since I am already on 0516 that there is nothing official for our CM7 captivates (no 0519) but the Premium section has a (0519) but it says those nightlies are test and may be broken. So flash at your own risk. I am on the paid version of rom manager.

I may flash the (0519 #5) just for testing I guess, but not until I do a nandroid backup in case. Another question how do I find the changelogs for the premium section nightlies (maybe I missed a link and will check the open right now).

Sent from My KickAss Captivated CM7 OC'd 1.55Ghz/Undervolted
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
No, thankfully you do not. From the OP:

Latest version: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=captivatemtd

These are the same files that are on ROMManager Premium. Just download the latest build and flash manually via recovery as any other update.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
It looks like it's still a problem with GB 2.3.4. Some devs using different devices (HTC, notably) have decompiled the framework and modified the parts that the .4 update changed; with favorable results. I haven't seen any movement on our devices though.

As an aside, I'm using Handcent for my SMS/MMS and when I receive a MMS from an iPhone user, the behavior is still the same (the picture won't download), but Handcent is having a hard time reconciling it, and it will kill my battery life if I don't kill the process.

Approximately 4-6 hours after the failed MMS retrieval, I'll get an SMS from ATT linking me to www.viewmymessage.com which then shows me the originally failed MMS. Thought that was an unexpected, and nice touch by the carrier. This also means that the failed message call is reporting back to AT&T, prompting this additional service.

[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Atinm has indicated that this issue has been fixed but they have not released the update yet. Update coming after getting merge completed.
[Captivate Android Development] Belaflek:
I meant the actual ogg's. I have eh ziped daft punk ogg's from anthother thread but the location of the sound files..I cant fine em to replace
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
i guess ill have to wait on this. too many people having problems :[
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
AFAIK the SGS line cannot boot into recovery mode while using CM by any method other than using the 3 button method. This was described early on during the really early build stages. Atinm is this still correct?
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
#3 is the only one I could get to flash.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Reboot recovery works on the provided kernel. If you OC/UV your mileage may vary.
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
No. That camera relies on Samsung frameworks, which CM7 does not have and never will.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Nope... BUT, the camera(s) are decent now. While still the same camera, its not nearly as laggy opening and its back to taking 5mp pictures as well as 720p HD video recording. So its not all that bad, and there is different settings for the camera. (I agree it doesn't have all the bells and whistles the Sammy cam had, but its back to being a good camera)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
At the moment the builds on CM are broken. Someone will tell you when they are available. As this is the first time our builds are from CM, we have some growing pains.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Is there anything broken about number 3 that I'm missing? Got it to flash and it's been running fine.
[Captivate Android Development] socrated13:
does this mean we should stay away from ALL builds until we get the go ahead from one of you(devs)? #5 is out and I'm poised in recovery ready to flash....
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
#5 doesn't flash. Like I said, I've gotten #3 to flash and it works fine as far as I can tell.
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
im guessing this means theres no more rom manager downloads? or am i wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
8 Flash cm7-DEVICE-initial-kernel.tar as pda using odin without auto-reboot and without re-partition

9 Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo

10 Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, cache

11 Apply zip from sdcard: cm7-DEVICE-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip

I gotta flash with step 8 odin cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar before doing step 11 (flashing the initial zip).

Or am i mistaken?

Right now I am stuck in step 8 before I can flash the initial zip. I have already done step 1-7 according to the procedure.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
because ROM's like darkyy's and such are actually created by what are called "ROM chefs"... these are "cooked ROM's" (which is also where phrases like "ROM kitchen" come from)... they repackage already working Samsung ROM's with tweaks and fixes, but it's pretty much guaranteed to work (unless you absolutely trash the installation process). this is built 100% from the ground up to work with our phones... it's like the difference between installing ubuntu linux versus building linux from source...

even if you mess up ubuntu, it all can come back prebuilt easily enough but doesn't have the raw power that building from source can have.
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
Because THIS is the way google wanted android to be from the UI to the launcher, every possible bit. The cleanest and leanest Android that ever is (Like Nexus 1, Nexus S etc)
[Captivate Android Development] zyexx:
a silly question here...how do I root it?
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
Sir, are you doing Step 8 from the Download mode?
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
Its pre-rooted. You are all set, my good sir :)
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
So stock android is more powerful than "cooked ROMs" based off of samsung firmware? If so, do you think these "ROM chefs" will start using stock android, now that it is available on captivate, or are there benefits for them to stick with samsung firmware?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Please - this is not a newbie thread. We are trying to get back to straight Google software so we are not dependent on Samsung+Wireless company releasing something to us. Google releases first and has the cleanest implementation. Every manufacturer then does stuff to the Google source code and that makes the phone have delays between when Nexus phones get revisions vs when phones running Samsung (or other manufacturer's) firmware get revisions. The other ROM developers are using Samsung firmware - that is why they're still on Froyo while we are using Gingerbread.

Now please, stop.
[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
yep yep, I did it in download mode. but it's stuck in "KERNEL"

I have tried doing it with 13c w/ rfs and ext4.

I am using darky7.2.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Because its easier to mod and theme the stock rom.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
If you don't know how to root don't worry about installing this. Its for experienced phone hackers only.
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
I havent used Darky 7.2 but assuming that its the speedmod 13C kernel that you are talking about, I came from the same thing.

Take out the batteries, Fire up odin (I used 1.3, if that matters) use the two button + USB to get to download. Did your phone get detected in Odin? if yes, try once more please.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
there's really no point for them to do this anymore. if they want to provide an alternative theme, the TMobile Theme Engine provides this functionality and will work on many more devices than just specific to our phone. if they want to provide an alternative kernel, they can just package that kernel up to release (with the appropriate kernel modules), and cyanogenmod isn't allowed to be redistributed with google apps... so any of the additions that could be considered "useful" are mostly just addons

yes, someone could take this build, add gapps, and theme it... but at this point it's just if they want attention really, since the functionality is all already there =/
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Hmm.. how do you charge the phone with the phone off? I power off the phone, plug the charger.in, and the phone comes back on

Am I missing something here? :)
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Just wondering, do apps like JuiceDefender or Green Power work under Gingerbread? If they do, would the cause the same problem as setting wifi to sleep on screen off?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
does anybody experience many of the bugs in the OP?
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
The nexus S does this intentionally, and this is based off nexus s source code.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
can't charge phone will off, known issue

not really, they seem to drain the battery more than help it
[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
Thanks, I was using odin 1.52.

Yes my phone was detected by odin, as noted by the weird symbol/ yellow icon.

I just upgraded my phone to darky 9.3, I will do a master reset and wipe everything first then try again.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Did you see my post here?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
since there seems to be a crazy amount of confusion over this, let me explain:

The first one requires ROM manager premium (or to access download.cyanogenmod.com nightlies section directly, they are the same files) and comes with zero guarantee it will install, boot, or not kill you in your sleep. Notice that the description even says they will probably be broken.

The second will be updated WHEN there is a stable build, there are none now, and won't be for a while. (these will also be available from download.cyanogenmod.com , but under the "stable" section)

The third should *never* be touched unless Koush specifically asks you to test something for him.
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
But the other day there was another one for cynogen that had the 5/16 build.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Thank you

I am having a Rom Manager problem it seems. This cleared up everything (for me at least). I have Premium version 4.2.0.2 but see nothing under the Premium section. Nothing but Extras and Google Apps under free. May have to update to the recent version on the Market of 4.2.1.0
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
No, I'm running 4.2.1.0 Premium and I see only those options as well. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong to not see something like the pictures posted above.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
I have the same version. It works fine. Not in update but in download rom.
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
yup. same problem here:
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Since Kaik541 and other users are reporting that they are seeing the correct content in Rom Manager, let's move this over to the Q&A thread so things stay on topic.
[Captivate Android Development] xdabomb911:
Goto ROM manager and click "Flash Clockwork Mod" and choose Captivate and then ClockWork Mod 3.x.x.x. Then it should update.

I had that same problem before.
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
Anyone? Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
CM7 changes the partition tables. In order to restore they have to be put back to stock. After odin and flashing serendipity back, you should be able to restore a serendipity nandroid to get back where you were before.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Verified fix to my issue :). Thank you very much <3.
[Captivate Android Development] dave1977nj:
so is there anywhere to still get the 05-16-2011?
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
Thanks, that's what I thought and did. Awesome :).

EDIT: So there really is no way to change ROMs back and forth then eh?
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
Running CM7-05162001-nightly-captivate and I have no working GPS.

Opening a GPS application like Maps attempts to grab a GPS location, then it just stops.

Kernel related?
[Captivate Android Development] APE992:
I don't have the 5/16/2011 nightly but you can get the 5/15/2011 at sourceforge still:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/captivate/
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Doubt it. I'm running the same and the GPS took me all around Tampa yesterday with zero issues.
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
Well mine is a fresh flash, and the GPS notification starts flashing, then it just stops and no gps location is obtained.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Sure there is...use odin to flash back to stock.

The "Samsung ROM chefs" (you know, the guys that spend their time theming and repackaging Samsung ROMs) could probably create CWM/ROM Manager installs that work similarly to the initial CM install and do all the repartitioning, etc, that is needed (unless some Samsung proprietary source is needed) but I doubt that will happen.

Alternatively, someone could probably use the Teamhacksung kernel sources and combine that with Samsung's sources to create a TouchWiz ROM (remember, Samsungs apps, such as the camera, etc, run in TouchWiz) that runs on MTD and would allow for CWM/ROM Manager flashes between CM and other MTD based TouchWiz ROMs. This is also unlikely to happen because it is unlikely that either Teamhacksung or the Samsung ROM chefs would want to undertake it just to allow easy flashing between CM and TouchWiz based ROMs.

What you are more likely to see is other ROMs (like MIUI and GalaxySense) that are based on the Teamhacksung kernel and MTD become available. These MTD based ROMs can be flashed between directly using CWM/ROM Manager without needing to Odin back to a Samsung/AT&T ROM. Some of these other ROMs may even publish to ROM Manager to allow easy flashing back and forth.
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
it might be from your modem
[Captivate Android Development] amucinom:
hey guys ive been trying to get into download mode, but ive tried every possible key combo and it just does not boot up into download mode. any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
if youre currently on cm7, you need to install the nexus s drivers on your computer found in the sdk at: http://developer.android.com/

Once you do that, remove your sim card, memory card, and battery. put the batter back. start up odin. while the phone is off, hold both volume buttons and plug your phone in. you should now be in download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Could endlessly guess what it could be. A logcat is required. Maybe even some dmesg action in case it actually is in the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
can anyone help me ?

I am on 05/16/2011 nigthly..

what should I do about updates ? should I install "cm_captivatemtd_full-9.zip 93.54 MB	2011-05-19 22:23:02" at below link ? then only flash it ? because I havent premıum rom manager we dont pay from Turkey :S

http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=captivatemtd
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Ok, latest nightly should work to get to CM7 from stock as well as CM7 -> CM7. You can download the file and flash yourself using CWM recovery, or use ROMManager premium to download and install it if going CM7 -> CM7 and you have premium.

MMS should be fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
Thanks for the explanation!

I have one more comment, has anyone noticed that CM7 colors appear dull? Is it bc the drivers aren't installed to utilize the samoled screen?
[Captivate Android Development] nelsonw:
i don't understand this:

First functional builds for CM for Vibrant, Cap, and i9000 are now on ROM Manager. Flash recovery (MTD 2.x) and it will show up.
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Since CM7 is based on AOSP, presumably it includes the 2.3.3 changes to the SAMOLED driver for the Nexus S, which are...let's say "questionable." Once the Voodoo Color-compatible kernels are updated for these nightlies using one of those will help, provided the developers can keep pace.
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
I figured the GPS. Was using TheEscapists Kernel. Flashed the new CM7 build from RomManager and everything was fixed. I think I saw in his thread that there is a prob with his kernel and GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
one new nightly after another?! is cm7 really this overwhelming?? :D
[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
Been great for me latest release zip number 9.
[Captivate Android Development] drkangel09:
Are release notes for the "stable" nightlies still being posted anywhere? With the autocompiling nightlies I don't want to risk picking one that isn't a new captivate release on accident.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
there are no "stable" nightlies. we are no longer building public builds. all will be released through cyanogenmod.com/ROM manager... if you don't feel comfortable flashing those, stay where you are until a stable release comes out (which won't be until CM7.1)
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
Just installed the #9 build of the 5/19 nightly (downloaded and flashed through CWM, not Rom Manager) and went smooth as silk. Still had my gapps working after the flash. MMS is back! Sweet!
[Captivate Android Development] jetpuck73:
How can I get my voicemail to work? It says I need a mail box number.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:

[Captivate Android Development] jetpuck73:
What is my number? I try my phone number and it says it is incorrect.
