How do I change the ADW menu settings back to the smaller 3x2 size? This is just a touch too big.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
I haven't experience these problems and I'm running off build 14.. maybe you had a bad download?
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
im seeing a lot of various issues on here, is there a stable release of CM yet? or is it stilll....problematic
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
Welcome to the forum...take the time to read the OP...seriously...
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
Read the op, there isn't a stable release just yet...
[Captivate Android Development] arunp44:
Just took the plunge from #9 to #14. Seeing the same issue as a couple others. My clock seems to think im on GMT+0 time. Other than that, seems ok so far...
[Captivate Android Development] milkyline:
I have the same issue for now I just manually set time zone and time.
[Captivate Android Development] bluestevo:
see if you can call someone and see if they can hear you,,, i updated to nightly 14 and i noticed my time changed and also whenever someone called they couldnt hear me so i had to flash back to nightly 13,
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Not sure if that is a build issue. My wife had issues with it on her inspire 4g at the same time I was(on cm7) last week. It was pretty random and changing builds didn't seem to fix it. I think at&t might have been futsing around with the network in my area as I haven't had a problem in the last few days.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
why do placebos heal people?

you go in with the right mindset and anything will seem fantastic. I've tried almost all the ROM's out there, they're all great and work fine and there's nothing specifically broken about almost any of them (and most bugs get fixed). they're all equally as good (in fact, most of the good stuff comes from the kernel, which most ROM chefs don't actually make, they just use others' work). this is a whole different beast. it's comparing apples to oranges.

Did you install nexus s drivers
[Captivate Android Development] illmatic90:
Help i have lost phone application and contacts application!! How can I restore them?!?
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
Install the Nexus USB drivers from SDK manager.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Different kernels and base ROMs along with different themes. Basically, it comes down to how polished it seems and some have OC/UV capabilities. Personally I'm a devote followerer of Serendipity because of the kitchen and just how it feels. But I'm running CM7 right now and love it.

I've never been more proud to own a Galaxy S phone.

CyanogenMOD 7 + Galaxy S = <3 <3

Thanks for all the work, I donated to you guys.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
How did you lose them? Didyou try reboot?

Open rom zip on phone. Find the Apks. Move them using root explorer to system apps.
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
How do I add auto-rotate and lock to the pull down menu like in the first post?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Notification bar buttons are under CyanogenMod Settings.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I stand corrected
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
apply the update zip available in the OP

[Captivate Android Development] echonc:
Yes like i said i was able to transfer earlier today, now the phone just charges when I plug it in
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you can't just download the drivers, you have to right click computer, manage, devices, and select the phone (nexus s) and point it at the drivers you downloaded. you don't need them to copy over files as it's just read as a generic removable usb drive... you're going to need them for ADB though
[Captivate Android Development] illmatic90:
I did a restore of all my apps and data thru Titanium backup and thats what seems to have made my phone and contacts apk to go away. I have tried rebooting before and it seems like every time i reboot my home button stops working, which forces me to do a wipe again , which then makes me have to set my whole phone up again. Very annoying cycle.

P.S I just rebooted again and my home button doesnt work again! :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
You just have to make the update script check for "captivate".

I modified the script on kangsterizer last version for 2011_03_04 cm7 and its working fine for me, but of course try at your own risk!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it sounds like you're restoring system data which you should NOT be doing.. if you're going to use titanium backup, you can only restore user apps and user data.
[Captivate Android Development] yoni45:
My apologies if this is redundant, but I'm just trying to make sure all my bases are covered so I'm not facepalming later...

I'm currently running Darky's 9.3, with the SpeedMod K13C kernel. I checked recovery, and I've already converted all my filesystems to ext4.

So essentially, I need to pick up from here, correct?

7. Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo and apply DEVICE-efsbackup.zip.
- Don't use "reboot recovery" command or other shiny things to do this!
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
12. Do a factory reset / data wipe!
13. Reboot

Also, when flashing the kernel.tar as PDA, do I need anything else? I seem to recall previously using a PIT file when working Odin?
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Just fyi, not all app developers have moved onto Gingerbread (just like what happened with us with froyo).

Not something CM7 has control over but worth mentioning since most of us are coming from a 2.2.1 ROM.

So far I've only noticed this with Navigon
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you should be good to go, and you don't need a pit when just flashing a kernel
[Captivate Android Development] illmatic90:
O wow good to know. I will make sure to not do that from now on. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] bluestevo:
nope, not att. i flashed back to nightly 13 and they can hear me... has to do something with the update.
[Captivate Android Development] klepto:
How is the battery life with CM7 for Captivate?

Are there any drawbacks or things you think would keep you from using it normally?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Weird issue after this new build today. My clock is 5 hours a head. It is set to auto.
[Captivate Android Development] Hickeroar:
It's a nightly build. Every day is a new adventure and you never know what you're gonna get. :-P

#13 (yesterday) was good. Today's is having a few issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Neckrobeard:
So before the latest nightly the whole phone would run choppy as hell until I locked and unlocked it the first time after turning it on. This latest nightly seems to have fixed that =) Seeing the boot animation run smooth is awesome =)
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Not going to lie, battery life is not quite up to par with the Samsung-based ROMs. It isn't terrible, but I get about 16 hours now and used to get 24+ on Darky's 9.5.

For me, it's worth it. This ROM doesn't have that hacked-together feeling I always got from typical ROM rebakes. The added CM-exclusive features will make it hard for me to ever go back.

Had this problem too. Went back to 13 and awaiting 15!! :D
[Captivate Android Development] mikey98277:
My battery is better on this than Mosaic 3 light, but I am sticking with #13, 12 didnt give me GPS for some reason, and to many ppl having issues with 14, so 13 is for me!!
[Captivate Android Development] arunp44:
Yep, ran into that a little while back. So just like you, went back to 13. Thanks for the heads up.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
looks like i'll be sticking to #13 for awhile :p

oh the irony if you believe 13 is an unlucky number if you guys get what I mean ;)
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
It seems this build doesn't set the timezone properly, the time you are looking at is GMT time, as soon as you remove auto and set the timezone, the clock is good.. need to look at the call quality issue...
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
I assumed that its probably not supposed to go that dim...

But it sure is nice when it does.

I used to use screen filter for night reading. Now I don't need to.

And I get well over 24hrs using the dimmer settings.

I will check the bug report when o get a chance and add it if its not already there.

I acknowledge that its not high priority. Just like tv-out...

To be honest those two are my only issues. I love this Rom.

BTW, I figured out the cifs issue.

It's not built into the kernel its a module in system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

And its not loaded on startup.

Easy fix....lol
[Captivate Android Development] tg9413:
U know 14 is the number every Chinese avoiding like a plague ;)
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
OH, perhaps you could show me exactly where in the OP it says whether this is a stable release or not

Also, welcome to common sense...take the time to read my join date....seriously you silly sally.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
# 13 is the build for you...
[Captivate Android Development] smokesignals:
I finally took the plunge and switched to CM7 this weekend. It's great except for the totally abysmal battery life I'm seeing here... I know CM7 currently lacks the ability to put some hardware into deep sleep mode, but I don't think that would account for Android System's 4 hours and 14 minutes of "keep awake" time, would it? Is there any way I can figure out what's actually making it keep the phone awake and sucking up all this battery?
[Captivate Android Development] hkk:
Keep away from #14

- Wifi can't stay connected

- Other person cannot hear you on a call. Ok with a BT headset though

- Time is screwed up

Keep away from #14 guys :)
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
I keep hearing about cm7's terrible battery life, mine does pretty well. Maybe not the 43+ I got w/ 2.2.1 but I can get through the day on a charge EASILY so I see no reason to complain.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
How does that compare with Platypus? I haven't really tried out too many kernels, so I don't know how Escapists and others compare to Kangs and Platypus.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
The Escapist kernel works really well and has bln so you can use the app if you want. I am able to run 1.55Ghz pretty stable and 1.5Ghz perfectly stable (your mileage may vary but most can attain 1.4Ghz with no issues). It is very smooth and feels like it adds quite a bit of pep to everything. I would highly recommend it. By the way I can actually get better battery life with his kernel than the stock kernel with some really good and stable undervolting.

hasnt been updated for a while tho right?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I have a nightly build out on one of the last pages, but it broke data and I haven't had time to fix it yet. :l I hopefully should have a good, stable nightly within a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] HaiKaiDo:
Can i use an earlier version that would still be okay to use with CM7 Build #13?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks, that was pretty helpful. I'm not too big on OV/UV at the moment, but I wanted something with Voodoo Sound at the least. Does it seem to affect call quality any? Ever since about 5/13 ish my family has complained about call quallity, so I'm trying to figure out what is up with that. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] HaiKaiDo:
I suggest flashing JK4 from here http://goo-inside.me/captivate/radios/ i get terrible call quality with the included modem.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I'm actually using JP9 at the moment, but JK4 is what has come included with CM7 for the last few nightlies.
[Captivate Android Development] cmdrmonkey:
Same issues as others with nightly 14. Clock doesn't show the correct time, and the phone doesn't work (other person can't hear me). Had to flash back to an earlier version.
[Captivate Android Development] HaiKaiDo:
Really? last nightly i installed had JP9
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
Same deal. :(

If it helps i have a logcat and kmesg.

In west Missouri, on ATNT(dough).
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Hmm, well I just updated to #13 from 5/16 yesterday, so I wasn't sure. The overall quality of JP9 is somewhat better than JK4 used to be. When I first installed JK4 it ran great, but then I started to get worse reception and began noticing this problem I get on Sundays. I turn on airplane mode for a few hours at a time so I can listen to music while I work, but when I turn off airplane mode, I randomly lose data. Not sure if this is connected to the modem or the kernel, but figured I would mention it as well.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I don't think the nightlies include a modem, or, if they do, it won't flash over your existing modem if you do an update.

Possible dumb question. How would one go about unrooting CM7? I tried one-click unroot and it didn't work...
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Ok...I'll bite...

What is your reasoning for wanting to unroot???
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:

[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
you dont need to root cm7....

edit: i read it wrong ... lol
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Wow...

I would have never thought it was kernel related..

I will have to take a look now and see what the diff is.

is there any way to select the band you want to use on the modem or change it?

Work policy when using 'good' technology for email...it won't run on rooted phones. Not so good, eh? Running a captivate without a custom rom is not realistic. I run work email through an Atrix right now (not rooted), but want to switch back to my cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
I checked out the change log and it seem like they change the kernel for the newer build... so i tried different kernel.. i tried Escapist kernel which didnt fix the problem keep that in mind.. i only tried escapist kernel and kangs kernel

i just hope changing the kernel didn't mess with the other update...

I kinda hate using diff kernel bside stock because it's hard to report and compare newer problem.. but for now ill stay with kang till light sensor is fix...

edit: when using Kangs kernel don't use anything below 5 with render fx on... it turns your screen green
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
anyone get good gsp lock with any of these nightlies?
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
Have you tried using another email app? I believe there are some that allow you to bypass such policies that block your device. Might be a better solution for you than changing your whole ROM. I recently started a new job and connected my cappy to an exchange server for the first time. The only email app that gave me full functionality was Enhanced Email. AOSP completely truncated forwarded msgs and I couldn't forward attachments, Touchdown had great overall functionality but again attachments in forwards got stripped, K-9 would just never connect in the first place. EE has been great and the dev is very active at responding to users and trying to incorporate feature requests into future builds. I'm not sure if this will fix your problem but it's worth a shot. There is a free trial version of EE available that let's you try it for a week. If that doesn't work, I've seen custom email apps around XDA that help circumvent blocked device issues.

I think the build failed last night or something. The changelog is rather large, and there was no build generated, so my guess is that some of the many changes didn't play nice together. Just my theory.

the above issue still haunts me from first to build 14....i got a reflash and try to browse the web without any apps and custom kernels installed and it still persists! maybe i'll stay away from cm7 for now but i hope not forever....:D

Same, no mic on phone calls on nightly 14.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
did you try factory reset yet?... and resort backup without system data?
[Captivate Android Development] jpbadonk:
Not so easy. Other than a blackberry with BES, 'good' is the only way to access our mail for mobile devices (Android and Apple).

To follow up my own question, I did figure it out.

1) Using root explorer or similar, rename or move /system/xbin/su

2) Rename or move /system/app/Superuser.apk

That worked for me and allowed me to install and use 'good'.
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
Found an interesting bug...not a big deal but a bug nonetheless...i noticed it because I use the clock app for my alarm, here are the steps to replicate the bug...

0. Ensure lock sounds are enabled

1. Open clock app

2. Keep clock app open

3. Plug in phone to charger

4. As clock app is open, put phone to sleep with button on the side

5. When the screen shuts off, you will hear the regular lock sound, but you will hear the sounds again right after but it sounds like static

There should only be one lock sound...anyway not a huge deal, but something I noticed. I've been able to replicate this on two captivates. This bug does not happen unless the phone is plugged in.

EDIT: I've found this in builds 9 and 13
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
yeah...i did about few times :) i always restore user-apps only, system restore gives me creeps!!! :)

EDIT: okay reverted to a fresh cappy, format everything and retrying.....:D
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Most e-mail applications that "ignore" Exchange (or Good Technologies, or Lotus Traveler, etc) policies will only work if your company does not block devices that are not capable of security enforcement. Unless you find an e-mail application that understands all of the policies and someone has programmed that application to somehow incorrectly report that the device is compliant when it is not, a "properly" configured corporate e-mail server will simply not allow e-mail to be sent to the non-secured device.
[Captivate Android Development] fatalexception87:
Thanks man, I appreciate the response. Shame though... Id offer a hand, but I'd probably mess things up more than id help them. Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Since "rooting" your phone is actually allowing you to use su to escalate access and is not full time root, by renaming/moving those files, you essentially successfully "unrooted" your phone. Applications will no longer be able to request root access anymore with those files missing/moved/renamed. In fact, since root access is required to rename/move those files, you probably will not be able to successfully "fix" what you have changed without flashing the ROM. Since you were asking to unroot though, I am guessing you are fine with this.

I found that Android System was keeping my phone awake a lot too. I did a factory reset (clear data) and did not restore anything using TiBU aside from "data" for a few market apps. Since then, I have not experienced any issues with Android System keeping my phone awake.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Ah, but does it report that the device is compliant when it is not? or is it just based on the 2.1 e-mail client that did not support Exchange policies? I don't know directly about Exchange or Good, but in Lotus Traveler, I can see exactly what e-mail client and version is being used to access e-mail. If a "hacked" version is being used to bypass security enforcement, I can see that and block the device. I am not saying that this will happen to anyone here, just that it is possible depending on how closely your IT department monitors things.

It is not as simple as black and white, especially since the policies are different on different e-mail servers. For example, in Traveler, I can create a security policy, but allow device "incapable of security enforcement" to connect. If I do this, an Android 2.2 device would be required to meet the security policy in order to get e-mail since it is compatible. Meanwhile, if I am allowing incapable devices to connect, an Android 2.1 device can connect and get e-mail without meeting the security policy since it is "incapable."

For anyone that was able to use Exchange mail in 2.1, but then had problems in 2.2 due to policies, reverting to an older e-mail client that is not compatible with security policies will work fine, until their IT department starts blocking any device that cannot meet the security policy.

possible bug

using nightly 13, i inserted a blank micro sd card into the phone. in the notification tray, i got a message saying the sd card has an unsupported filesystem. i pressed on the notification, and got a prompt to format the sd card. why not, i thought - it's already blank. so i clicked ok, and the phone formatted my INTERNAL sd card, instead of the external one. epic fail.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Known bug that requires some serious changes in the framework because the stock Android is written to assume there is only one sdcard, while we of course have two. That is why originally we were having trouble mounting the external sdcard too. I have to do some more work in vold and mount service to get format to work. I think recovery will have the same issue as well.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Wow...this is an important bug to know about. I don't remember seeing any bugs or warnings about formatting external SD causing the internal SD to be formatted also. It has probably been mentioned before, but I didn't understand what was being said. Is there any plan on adding this to the known bugs list? As long as I know it is there, I can format the SD card from a computer.
