To those with any issues on #62 or any other builds just a suggestion and sometimes good practice if you start having any issues that are reoccuring are:

Backup system apps and user apps with tibu (you are NOT going to restore the system apps EXCEPT if you want the ones that are GREEN in tibu).

Do a nandroid backup from cwm to backup everything in case you have an issue.

Once done perform a data wipe, clear cache, clear dalcich cache.

You will need to reflash gapps also.

Then reboot. Sign into Google and open market. It will PROBABLY take a VERY LONG TIME since the market will try to install all/almost all your apps. JUST LET IT. SOME MAY FAIL TO DOWNLOAD. LET IT FINISH. THEN ONCE YOU HAVE TITANIUM BACKUP YOU CAN RESTORE THE MISSING APPS AND/OR MISSING DATA FOR THE APPS INSTALLED.

This will basically start you off from a clean slate and you shouldn't NEED to go back to stock eclair to get everything set up. Then you CAN restore ANY/ALL the system apps data that is in tibu in GREEN WRITING. This should reset all your CyanogenMOD setting back to where you had them. Then see if ANY if your issues come back.

As far as GPS I guess I cannot comment since on ANY nightly I have ALWAYS had working GPS that just works good. Two things, I am on a 1007 build and almost never had any GPS issues with most/any other roms. 2. I am using different modems that what CM7 usually Comes with. I have always used jl2, then jk4, then tubv6, and now jjjv5. So whether that has helped KR fixed any GPS issues for me I don't know. I know some cappys GPS just suck and others work good. Maybe I am just one of the lucky ones.

If it is worth it to have a working phone if you are having any issues then TRY what I wrote above. I do it every few months and then everything just continues to work with no issues.

I love this rom!

First off let me start by saying that this rom is AMAZING.

Netflix works, gps is pretty darn good and the whole system runs great and with little flaws.

1. When navigating, it would be nice to have the soft key buttons light up when you tap the screen so at night I'd be able to see if your pressing back/home or what ever.

2. I've noticed that if the phone is off, when I plug it into power it turns on by itself.

3. and this one is more of a question but can I add toggling of mobile data via the power menu or if enough agree with it, can we see this in future releases?

4. Is anyone developing a way to restore widgets without having to manually add them after flashing the next nightly release?

5. It seems that the gps on the phone works best at first but slowly starts to freeze up from time to time. I will try downloading a-gps data to see if it helps or hinders but if anyone else is noticing the same issue let me know if you pinpointed any cause.

6. Lastly, is there anyway to safely add the 3 button fix to this rom? I've heard before that flashing from gingerbread to 3 button causes a hardbrick so if its an issue, I have a usb jig anyways

7. sometimes while pressing volume up rapidly during calls, it just hangs up. It's not everytime but is something I've noticed happens from time to time.

Other than these negligible issues, this rom is absolutely excellent performance wise and I've even gotten a charge to last all day with regular use from 8:30 to 10:30 pm or so which is a whole lot better than I've seen before :)

Need Better Email App

I absolutely hate the builtin email app on this ROM.

Scrolling around an email page is clunky and not true HTML.

You can't even pinch zoom.

Can anyone recommend a replacement, CM7 compatible, email app that works better than the default app, and has the above features?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
This is expected behavior and is related to the way Samsung's low power mode works. The Nexus S (which CM for Galaxy S is based on) does the same thing.

Try adding the mobile data toggle to the CM Notification Power Widget (Settings | CyanogenMod settings | Interface | Notification Power Widget). That is how I do it and it works great.

To add the 3 button fix, you must flash stock JF6 and then flash the 3-button fix (or flash the JF6 one-click Odin that includes the 3-button fix). Once the 3-button fix is in place, flashing CM will not touch it.
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
A few pages back, someone suggested to make Launcher Pro (plus) a system app (via whatever method you choose) to prevent the FCs from happening. It works, until you flash a new nightly. ADW launcher kicks in and when you reinstall LP, it force closes instantly rendering it useless. If you wipe your data as you flash a new nightly then you have no problem, otherwise, I wouldn't suggest to move LP as a system app. If anyone has a solution, please post it
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Maybe they will bring this back at some point for stock CM7, The Escapist kernel DOES have it and it works.

Not a bug as it is designed that way. It is HOW the Nexus S is designed which we basically are in common with.

Not sure as I don't use it.

I do not lose Widgets or anything when I am applying nightlies. How are you applying nightlies? I use Rom Manager to download and flash with nothing lost other than resetting up the ZipThemer Morpheus I use.

Haven't had that issue at all but then I only use it maybe once or twice a week.

With CM7 it can be used since CM7 doesn't use or touch the bootloaders at all. I had out it on my wife's 1010 phone LONG AGO just in case since some/all 1010 models had 3 button issues. So you should be able to try it out and see if it helps.

Again I haven't had that issue but will test it out if I remember on my next phone call.

Ya once you get used to it the battery life is not all that bad as long as you have good signal strengths all the time and don't have apps running in the background wildly eating away at the battery life.

this is commonly known, it isnt just the email app for this rom, its the native AOSP email.apk and it sucks something hard man, i have honestly never heard a single positive thing said about it, i honestly unzip the rom before i flash it, delete adw email protips and file manager from system/apps, paste adw ex in there, put any init.d scripts i use at the time in place in system/etc/init.d (ie ram optimizations, voltage/clock settings set at boot...) rezip the rom, and THEN flash it with no issues, but i removed/included said apps upon my first boot on my data.img to avoid problems doing so later because tinkering with the .zip's insides can lead to baaad things happening to phones lol, just saying that the rom works fine without it, a good replacement app is k9 mail from the market, i use it and love it, hope some part of my rant helped you
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:

Music through the USB

Well firstly a big thank you to all the guys.. I keep flashing the latest nightlies and I love the experience ...right now I am on nightly 63

This question might not be apt here but I hope it is

I did try to look up but could not land to a conclusion....

I have a USB input in my car stereo where I connect my flash drive.. now I can play songs through my captivate if I use the USB adapter and set the USB storage on ...but I want to know whether there is a way if I can stream from pandora or spotify or any FM app through the USB instead of streaming through the USB storage..

Please let me know if anyone has tried it at all....Any comments are really appreciated ...Thanks again for all the great team work guys in the CM7 team ;) I would love to help too please let me know if I can contribute in any way..

Is there anyway with this ROM to put the WIFI hotspot toggle somewhere in a faster to access spot?

There does not appear to be a way to add a short cut.

how about putting it in your drop down notification bar??? will that be accessibly fast enough for you friend???

[Captivate Android Development] xsamxoxo:
when flashing the releases, I usually start with a full titanium backup, then pop over to rom manager and flash with all wipe options checked. then when its done I restore everything which includes launcherpro which could be why the widgets always say "problem loading"

so your saying that all the apps stay when flashing?

Custom Boot Script for System App/File Removal

Please skip to the end of my post to see just my questions on the title topic if you already know a lot about CM7 installation script. I will post some links and background information first though so that other people may be able to help me, and hopefully others, get this working.

Background:

For CM7 in the Desire forums, there's a post claiming on-boot system app/file removal so each following nightly update doesn't undo any system deletion changes you've done beforehand.

[CM7] Remove files on boot and change LCD Density using init.d

My Experience:

I have tried this thinking both the "custom_backup_list.txt" and the "50rm" script file would both work, but now I'm finding out that neither of them are working for me in isolated cases. Meaning, the 50rm file fails to uninstall specified system apps and the camera_click.ogg file each and every reboot, and updating CM7 deletes not only the "50rm" file, but the "custom_backup_list.txt" file that's supposed to preserve the 50rm file to begin with (as via /system/bin/backuptool.sh - checked this out, and indeed it does call and parse a "custom_backup_list.txt" file).

Questions:

Is the "custom_backup_list.txt" method no longer supported in CM7? Is there code in the "50rm" example from the Desire forums (link above) not up to date to work with the latest CM7? Should it even be named "50rm" for CM7 on Captivate? Anyone else get this working before that is willing to help?

My captivate rebooting When incoming calls :S
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Aztecbandit,

What is your hardware revision? Not all random reboots are necessarily a ROM issue; there's also a known hardware issue with a batch of 1006-1008 phones. It might be worth contacting ATT and mentioning that you're getting random shutdowns to see if your IMEI is in the affected range.

Of course if you mean hot reboots, disregard the above.
[Captivate Android Development] prestopasto:
They are for me
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Doing a full backup is never a bad idea. I usually do, but a lot of times I just click on 'Backup Existing ROM' and 'Wipe Dalvik Cache', I do not select the middle one, 'Wipe Data and Cache'. When I'm done everything is as it was with the new build. All apps, launcher (which I use ADW ex), themes and settings.

So I would try it without the 'Wipe Data and Cache' selected and see if that solves problem, if not you can always go back.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Yes I do NOT lose any apps or Widgets. SEE Rtbee's post above also. That is exactly how I do it every other day. Usually I will run a band backup from rom manager so I can name it with the date and build# along with if it is the stock kernel or Escapist kernel so I have NO NEED to wipe data/factory reset and then do a full install in between. There is no need to wipe data/factory reset everytime. I ONLY use that if I am having some issue/s.

I also have a 1007, oc/uv 1500ghz -25 with build #57. It was running great, no problems, very happy. I did not flash #62 cause of all the problems people seem to be having. With #63 folks seem to think it much better, many issues resolved, so this morning I flashed build #63. Now I get random reboots or black screen (with soft keys still lighting up).

Going to try a couple of things first, but probably going to flash back to #57, it worked.

I'm a new CyanogenMod convert - I played around with CM7 RC1 for a day and then yesterday went to nightly #63, no problems with random reboots or really any problems to speak of with the setup in my sig. One thing I have noticed is that when I charge overnight via my rocketflash AC adapter (haven't charged with the factory adapter yet), when I wake up the screen is in a continuous cycle of turning on, the "charged" label blinks a few times, screen times out, repeat, etc. Is this by design or do I have something goofy going on?

[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
Not sure if this is related, and probably doesn't help, but I had issues trying to restore a backup...I think it had to do with the fact that the version of CWM I backed up with was different from the version I was on to restore with. I ended up flashing back to stock and getting back to v.3 of CWM and then restoring...worked like a charm! Wondering if the latest version (4.0.1.0) didn't play nice for some reason???

Kind of... I figured it was a certain app or my own doing though. I have a backup of the newest nightly as I've been testing some things (init.d scripts posted two or three pages back). Happened twice within two hours as I was messing around with it and I've just again restored the nandroid to get through today. Been all day today and everythings been fine though, so far...

Though I'm replying because yes, I've gotten into these fc issues on the past few builds. My solution has always been to restore a nandroid and re-update or install fresh (preferred choice with a TiBu restore). I've never had much success with the fix permissions function fixing my issues in the past, completely forgot about it...

it seems ive had this issue once before but i don't recall what i did to fix it.

i was having a bunch of FC and so i went to just d/l the newest version - but when i tried to install i got an error running privileged commands(fix permissions and clear cache only made it worse somehow). .... ok cool so ill one-click back to stock since i cant do ANYTHING on the nightly im on now anyway, no big deal ..... i get back to stock and root/install rom manager ..... then cant boot to orange recovery so i cant install CM7 again. i can get to stock recovery, or (as an experiment) i can flash green clockwork... but that doesn't do me much good.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I am NOT SURE why it is not working for me then.

It doesn't do anything. TO BE CLEAR I DID THIS ON BOTH OF MY CAPTIVATES, ONE BEING CM7 AND THE OTHER APEX. ON THE APEX IT WORKED CORRECTLY AND UPDATED AND I COULD PLAY. ON CM7 IT WOULD NOT UPDATE AND GIVES ME THE SCREENS BELOW

EDIT: I was able to get the NEW version downloaded from the web browser and it installed but I still get the error screen. I just RETESTED actually watching a movie on my captivate with Apex and CAN WATCH a movie. They are using the SAME account so I know that's not the issue.

Netflix recently updated their app (including compatibility with new devices), and in the process listed the Captivate as an "unsupported device" and we can no longer see it in the market. Merely updating Netflix to the newest version will do away with the error, since, it seems, even though our device is still unsupported it works fine. The only issue is we cannot see it in the market any more. No build.prop edits have been made.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Thanks for the reply. I figured it was something like that but even though I was able to update it via the web browser market it still will not actually play the movies with the new version or the older version that I have tibu'd. I will try editing the build prop and see if I can get it to at least play with the new build.

EDIT: got it working by changing a few things in the build prop and finally was able to make it actually play the movie. You can either look at the changes I made or copy and paste it into your /system
