Here is what I mean by color temps. Both images were taken at full brightness:

The first one is the latest CM7 build and stock kernel:

The second is TheEscapist's Kernel du jour 4.6:

Originally I really liked the warmer color temp that comes with CM7, but because all of the monitors I use are calibrated a bit cooler, going from one to the other is very visually jarring, especially since the super amoled screen is supposed to be slightly cooler than S-LCD/TFT, etc. Is there was a way to tune one of the presets to offer this cooler color temp without sacrificing the bright whites needed for web pages, the market, etc?

-M
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
sure,

try CM7 custom kernels with Voodoo Color included and download Voodoo Control from the market

that hopefully should make things easier

that yellowish tint comes from upstream (Nexus S) btw
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Zach, the original issue was that he wanted to stick with the stock kernel, but still be able to tweak the screen.
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
my bad - sorry :o

wouldn't be the "best" solution then to use the stock kernel and only add Voodoo Color ? :\

Hi guys,

for those that are having problems losing their GSM data connection from time to time:

FYI:

Hope that helps !

Thanks !

and of course Thanks to Premo for troubleshooting this :)
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Yeah, in a perfect world it'd be awesome to use the stock kernel with CM7 and just be able to tweak the colors slightly to the cooler side. I don't know enough about kernels to understand why some can use software (like the voodoo apk) to tweak colors, and why others can't. That's better left for you guys! :)

Any word on mainline integration?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
No, trust me - you'll know when it happens. And as always, mainline integration is more a development team goal than a user visible thing because we're not going to be integrated fully until we're a lot more functional and user friendly, which you will know way before we're officially mainline.

I am having a problem. last night i checked to see if there were any nightly updates and when i ariived at your download page I saw a file at the top of the list:

galaxys-bootloader JVB.tar

I downloaded and installed via odin....now my recovery is gone and i cant get into download mode. the phone just reboots and when it does the samsung screen comes on then the screen flashes then the samsung screen comes on again and then a pixelated screen comes on well then i knew i had problems. How do I correct this? any help would be greatly appreciated!!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Have you tried gb button combos
[Captivate Android Development] dwojr:
ive trieed every known method to get into download mode. it seems like its absent
[Captivate Android Development] dwojr:
edit:

i just got into recovery by holding down the menu button volume up button and power....when samsung appears i released the power button and it went into recovery but still no download mode. any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Recovery should have download mode in the menu..
[Captivate Android Development] jgaviota:
menu, vol down power...when samsung appears release the power button

if not, try vol down power

[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
anyone else have any issues with some apps not launching.... like "android terminal" or "music"? they just force close when i try to open them.
[Captivate Android Development] abezapata:
okay made it to boot up but how do i get back to recovery???
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
at any point hold down Both Volume buttons and the Power button. When you first see the ATT screen, release Power only. Keep holding Volume buttons until you see recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
No. did you restore them with Tibu or anything? They should both work fine. If not, I would suggest going back to recovery and trying a data wipe/factory reset.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Anyone had any luck getting the vehicle mount (aka USB Audio) working? I was trying to get it going, and at the same time was trying to troubleshoot why rotation seems to stop working after a while (reboot fixes, for a while- Sensors maybe?). Tried to install LauncherPro to take over the rotation work, and it refused to give me the option of switching launchers after install.

I did find out you do not just want to flash the ROM over itself without doing the other steps... dead phone for the night since I was away from my comp. Ooops!

I put Humpty Dumpty back together this morning, but ran out of time again to get the specific car homes installed to try the USB Audio workaround.
[Captivate Android Development] amarpatel:
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's contributed to this...I can't wait until an RC comes out so I can flash it. I'm currently afraid because of the number of steps. I'm currently running (and loving!) Serendipity, but I'm really, really looking forward to Cyanogen--hopefully someone'll make it BLN compatible!

If i have cognition 4.1 installed, which already has CWM 2.5, do I still need to flash firefly? It mentions 2.5 in the instructions...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No you do not
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
It's not so much about the CWM version as it is the kernel. You want to flash a kernel, or a ROM with a kernel, that converts the filesystem to ext4. speedmod or firebird both work for that. so if you flash firefly it converts for you and you're ready to go. I have no clue what is included with Cog.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
i have installed cantonese keyboard and I was able to select it no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Cog includes a stock kernel but injected with Voodoo lagfix, so ext4 out of the box.

I've been using 4.1.1, but I'm very tempted to try this. Still just a couple bugs I see, but nothing major.
[Captivate Android Development] crecsky:
Flashed Samsung Stock using Odin to fix my Wifi. Then followed the instructions.

(Even worked on Sleep mode all night, shut my phone off when I disconnected from my network though, maybe Never should be selected on flash considering it errors)

As for the keyboard I have installed Swype with no problems at all.
[Captivate Android Development] jdhondari:

[Captivate Android Development] Dieabolical:
I flashed this last night. Looks like this is very close to being stable. Yeah, there are a few bugs, but I am sure that should take too long figure out.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
NOTE: The key combo for recovery is different with the new 2.3 bootloaders! It is now Vol up+power instead of Vol up+Vol down+Power.

NOTE: The key combo [for download mode] is different with the new 2.3 bootloaders. It is now Vol down+Power. You no longer need to connect the usb cable.

thanks guys....youve given me some piece of mind now that i didnt mess anything up....so i shouldnt worry about the screen that is all jacked up while booting up the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Now you need to flash the correct files to fix the phone. You shouldnt flash just whatever is at the top of the screen on the download page. You MUST make sure it says captivate update. DO NOT FLASH ANY THAT SAY SGS, ETC.

This is why your screen is messed up and the buttons not working correctly.

(If this is not the Guy who flashed the file from the top and cannot get into recovery/download modes then just forget my reply).

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
why why why why why would you flash ANYTHING that says galaxys when you have a captivate? go back to stock with ODIN and start over. it is never safe to mess around with bootloaders. if you don't understand what you're doing/what you're installing, you shouldn't do it! you're extremely lucky your phone isn't a paperweight right now, please start over and don't touch files you don't know what they are!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Please for the love of dog, why would you do something like that?! Not only was the file not for a Captivate, we *DO NOT* ask you to flash every random file that shows up on our upload site. We will put up stuff there now and then for our *small group of select testers* to try because we know it could kill the phone and so flashing everything that shows up in just plain . . . well, crazy? We have very specific instructions for a reason, and specify very explicitly which files you should be flashing and when. And we update when we put up a new release.

Glad you got it figured out. I think you need to stick with the Samsung ROMs - I am sorry to say that this might be too dangerous for you.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
please do not consider this a bug report but more of a question if anyone has noticed this weird behavior out of your android phones? http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11236

it showed up on slashdot few days ago and weirdly enough I seem to have something similar with my cappy (independent of cm7/sammy, maybe it's my router) but I've only noticed today when I started the paw server on my cappy and it said to connect to .128 and I was "What? .128 is my laptop..." as I had just checked because connections were dropping like **** from websites. so I manually set the ip for my laptop (screw the other hotspots I use my phone in, lol).

Also, on CM7: I wish I had better battery life, I wish I could record in 720p, I wish I had a nicer camera app but then I think that what I really wish is that this piece of hw that I paid quite some money lasts until it breaks from HW and not from ****ty SW and that's what CM will provide me. thanks for the hard word fellas.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
I noticed this before, but will you guys ever make drivers for .avi or .mkv video playback support? Even as a separate install? Because one of the reasons I bought this phone was for its ability to play multiple file formats. And i know that you can use rockplayer to play videos with these containers, but it isn't nearly as smooth (no HW acceleration) especially when you start playing higher quality videos.

I appreciate all of your work, I really do, but IMO if you take this feature out, then it ruins the point of people buying this phone in the first place, which was for its multimedia prowess.
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
HW accelerated playback is not high priority

first things first

for the playback: try Mobo Player :)
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Perhaps the back of the phone can serve to perplex a percentage of the population:

It is curious that the Captivate has three different names, all fairly unique:

'[a] Galaxy S [device]'

Samsung SGH-I897

Samsung Captivate

Let's hope the SGS II stays relatively simply named in all its markets! :)
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Well of course getting the ROM fully functional is not the first priority, but I am wondering if it will ever be added?

And yes I have tried Rockplayer/Moboplayer. Both don't work very well when playing 720p videos w/o HW acceleration X.x
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yes but i897 == captivate, i9000 == galaxys, t959 == vibrant, i9000b == galaxysb... we go by the "common name" as that's how cyanogen does it (nexus one == pasion). also, the more important issue is why would you just willy-nilly flash something that you have no idea what it is? let alone something that is never once ever referenced in any instructions or files?

basically, my point is THINK about what it is you're doing before you do it.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
If we can, we will. The can part is still somewhat unlikely due to the closed source nature of many parts but no one has spent any time on this to really research what can or cannot be done.

For what it's worth, I've always thought the i9000 related files should be named as such, not galaxy s as it is general enough to apply to all models for those not "in the know"
[Captivate Android Development] vizographic:
I've twice had an odd experience with my captivate. I noticed it seemed warmer than normal, but I was multitasking - listening to music, surfing the web etc... and ignored it. I got a low battery warning, so I plugged in the charger and kept working. That's when I noticed that it was getting really hot - as in, damn that screen is hot! Also, it seemed as though the battery wasn't taking the charge properly. I got a little nervous at this point, so I powered down to let it cool and then rebooted..... Now, both the phones temperature and its charging behavior are back to normal. It is weird and it's creeping me out. Could a software glitch even cause this behavior or is it probably related to hardware? I'm currently running cm7 04212011 with the platypus kernel. The first time it happened I was running cm7 04152011 with the Trident kernal. My searches netted one similar run away temp reference in a cm7 thread/forum. The poster noted blistering temperatures which he correlated to GPS usage. Hell if I know; I got nothing here.

Otherwise the phone has never run better...damn.
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
Its an app that is eating CPU time while charging. 100% CPU usage + battery charging = lots of heat. Find out what app is going haywire when you plug it in and kill it. If you just moved to CM7 look to see if its "Mediaserver".

INSTRUCTIONS

FIRST TIME FLASHING CM7 TO YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY S SERIES PHONE:

4. Make sure you've not flashed any gingerbread leak from samsung, otherwise you have to downgrade your bootloader

I would like to try CM7, I have already flashed boatloaders for continuum and then have played with perception.

Can I flash CM7 over this? Are these considered samsung gb leaks? If not, do I have to downgrade back to stock boatloader and start from begining?

Maybe should be added to FAQ's?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes you need to flash back to stock to get the original bootloader.

Random Reboot with Infinite Loop

My phone just randomly rebooted, then got stuck in an infinite boot loop. I pulled the battery and that seemed to fix it. Besides pulling the catlog, anything else I can provide to help diagnose?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
For debugging reboots:

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg .

And put the last_kmsg in an issue report. You can link here if it is the stock kernel, and in the developer thread for the appropriate kernel if it is not the stock kernel we put in CM7.

Is this a kernal thing so flashing a different kernel will remove this update?

[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Until your custom kernel gets updated, yes. And in fact, the old kernels will most probably break if you reflash them on top. But they should get updated soon because we have done the hard part, and I don't think it touches anything that any of the custom kernels use.

Thanks for the valid answer to the valid question. Who cares if it from Samsung Rom as long as it is operational?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Yeah, really - no one cares (about what you care about or not care about). You will not be missed.

But since you are sort of thick or just too lazy to read what has been repeated here multiple times when explaining what CyanogenMod is, the point of CM for SGS is to build a clean AOSP build that runs on the SGS family like it does on all the other devices from all the other manufacturers. We try to keep as close as possible to the AOSP code and only use Samsung closed source bits when forced to. We are not trying to make a Samsung ROM work on Samsung hardware. Been there, done that. Don't care to again. Samsung ROMs work just fine on Samsung hardware with minor tweaks for lagfix etc that lots of other people are doing on the threads here and elsewhere. If they are good enough for you, stay with them. Please.

Posting here again with the same sort of comment would be considered trolling.

[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I think both Samsung Roms and CM7 have strengths and weaknesses. If you like to use the MKV playback and some of the features of the Sammy roms then by all means flash that. The devs put a lot of work into the Sammy roms to get them usable and fast. CM7 is another level of what this phone should have been. It runs great and i get all the features that i like to use. I go from one rom to another every now and again but lets not go bashing because they both have features people like and dislike.

CM7 for SGS has come a long long way since i flashed it 2-3 months ago. Keep up the great work because it will be rewarded.

Now lets all get back on topic...
