This may be an irrelevant point but there are a couple of gingerbread launcher apps for free on the market that really accentuated the CM7 rom quite nicely. If you like the launcher that CM7 comes with then NEVERMIND LOLOL
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Adw is really quite awful. I'm using the Gingerbread by eugene which has the 3d drawer.

[Captivate Android Development] ankitb4u:
Thanks I used the other one should have gone with Eugene obviously I have used it in the past. Thanks.

And I would also like to thank all the folks that have worked on this. I was using my atrix which I payed full price for and I am not using that any more rather I am using this.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Could be cause we use the I-896? It doesnt make sense though. I also had an issue with the haptic lights staying on after i unlock the screen. I wiped dalvik cache and now they dont go on when i unlock the screen, but when i use them they come on and dont turn off. Im not sure if its normal or not as no one has mentioned it.
[Captivate Android Development] Seraphimos:
I was holding off on flashing this until it was more stable, but I had some free time on my hands today and could resist no longer. :D

I followed the directions and had no issues worth speaking of during the install process. The only bug I've noticed is the wi-fi sleep issue, which is minor, and battery life is less than optimal (also minor). Other than that, this has become my daily driver.

The Cappy was my first Android phone so CM7 is my first CM ROM. I must say, I am very impressed with the amount of customization baked into this ROM. I surmise that it is par for the course with CM. Bottom line: love it. I can't help but turn the screen off and on and then giggle, lol.

Thanks so much for putting the time in on this thing, guys.

[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
hey guys,

i have "strange" problem , i use "iSyncr" to sync my music using wifi with iTunes and sync my music to my External SD, now the problem is in CM7 the external SD location is moved from /mnt/sdcard/external_sd to /mnt/emmc

the stupid thing is the path (/mnt/sdcard/external_sd) is HARD CODED into the program, my question is, is there anyway to create a symbolic link to point /mnt/sdcard/external_sd to /mnt/emmc ????

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
Well android is based off of linux.

So use adb or a terminal emulator to run the symbolic link command.

Note: I don't know the command off the top of my head but google does (http://www.google.com/webhp?sourcei...sb&fp=9441c9e3bb40875d&biw=1664&bih=909&ion=1).

Tell me if it works for you.

Edit: It should be something like

su
cd /sdcard
ln -s /mnt/emmc external_sd
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
Thanks for the quick reply, i got the following error "ln: external_sd/emmc: operation no permitted"
[Captivate Android Development] mystichobo:
You made sure you ran su first right?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
And it turned from a dollar sign at the beginning of thee line to a pound? That means su worked.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you cannot symlink on fat32 partitions.

your best bet would be this

mount --bind /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
thank you so much, worked great, do you know how to make it stick after reboot?

Cheers,
[Captivate Android Development] singlebeam:
I think that code may need to be added as a startup script if you want it to stick after every reboot. I don't know how to do it myself though it has been discussed a few times I believe - a little searching should yield a solution. Hope this helps!
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
How does one turn up the vibrate intensity? I cannot feel it in my pocket.
[Captivate Android Development] ajh5408:
For haptic, try CyanogenMod Settings > Input > Haptic feedback tweaks. For notification, try Messaging > Menu > Settings > Notification settings > Vibrate pattern. There is not a straight-up 'intensity' setting that I know of, but using the 'Multiple Long' pattern setting should make notifications a lot easier to, you know, notice.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
edit: Kaik provided the instructions to add it the startup script in post 11429 below.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Here you go, put this file in /etc/init.d I haven't tested it, but it should work just fine. And make sure you reboot for it to take effect. And it has to be put back each nightly you flash.

http://goo.gl/gNYyE
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
actually, it would be better to place it in /data/local/userinit.sh so you don't have to put it back after every update... the ROM ships with an init.d script (20userinit) that looks for userinit.sh in a few places (/sdcard, /data/local, etc) and runs that script on every boot and doesn't get wiped between updates.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Nice! I didn't know that. Updating the post.
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
Thanks guys, i placed the script first on /etc/init.d and then on /data/local/

rebooted and folder is blank :( (/mnt/sdcard/external_sd). what i was thinking maybe we need to wait 1-2 min after boot then run the script , doesnt it take that long to mount the EXTERNAL sd ?

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Someone is welcome to check my script. If that's the case, we can add a sleep 2m to it.

Edit: on init scripts do I have to specify su?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
init.d scripts run as root. Since this script is being called by init.d, it should run as root. You may have to make sure that root has execute access to the script (chmod +x should take care of that).
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Userinit does the chmod +x for you. I don't know why it's not working.
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
the one with sleep 2m is on the same link ?

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
userinit.sh is a script. I was suggesting verifying that userinit.sh is executable. I have not checked my phone to see if this script is pre-existing, or needs to be created. If it needs to be created, then it certainly is not executable until you run chmod +x. If it is pre-existing, it should still be executable after editing it, but it still does not hurt to verify.

edit: since on my phone, there is no /data/local/userinit.sh, my guess is that the following commands need to be run:
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
There is a 20userinit in /etc/init.d. It checks for userinit.sh in a few places, one of them being /data/local. If it finds them, it then marks them as executable (busybox chmod +x /data/local/userinit.sh) when the phone reboots before that script is called. And since init.d scripts have root, it doesn't need to specify su. Therefore marking it as +x myself is redundant and not needed.
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
i tried

su

chmod +x /data/local/userinit.sh

reboot, no luck :(
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
No, I haven't done that yet. You caan modify it yourself in root explorer though. Long press the file, edit in text editor. Add sleep 2m after the comments, save and reboot. I don't know if that's the solution though.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Thanks for the clarification. It is nice to do this automatically for users who are not linux savvy. Of course, that also means that for those of us who are, we can't remove execute access to test, etc, because it will automatically be re-added.

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

Have you verified that the script itself is good? You can do this by opening the terminal and running the following commands:

su
/data/local/userinit.sh

then, check to see if the SD card is mounted where you expect. If this works, then there is an issue with timing, or something else in the init.d process. If this does not work, then there is an issue with the script itself.
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
thanks, u were right, not the solution. is there anyway i can check to see if the script is being executed or not?

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

just an update, when in Root Explorer, i click on the script and select "Execute" the script works fine, so my guess is , its either not executing at boot or ????

Task Manager?

Forgive me if this has been asked before - I did search but seemed to find just references to task killers - but...

Is there a task manager on CM7? Like, when I was on Andromeda I could long-press on the 'Home' 'button' and it would bring up a list of recent programs and a button at the bottom that was task manager. I could then go in there and end programs that were running (not processes).

I know I can go to Menu > Manage applications from the home screen and look at running but this shows processes and everything. Is this the only one that is built-in or is the other task manager I was accessing on Andromeda hiding from me somewhere.

Thanks in advance!

[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Greetings CM guys. I flashed CM back yesterday and am having a problem that my searching here says is not just me- Bluetooth Audio refuses to work. I have seen several posts about BT issues (this worked perfectly the last time I was on CM, ~ 86 or so). While I found several posts about BT problems, I did not see any with BT solutions :).

The issue is, while the phone will connect to my car's BT just fine, and BT will work as it should for phone calls, it will not send audio. The car shows that the phone is synced for audio, the phone knows it is supposed to send audio through BT (no sound from speaker), but nothing is reaching the car. I tried factory reset, reflash, and a different modem. I have not yet tried a different kernel, but I will if that might fix it. Has anyone that has had this issue resolved it somehow?

Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] 105437:
Looks like I'll be moving on from my CM7/Glitch kernel Captivate. It's really bittersweet for me because I find this combination perfect for my needs.

Soon my Captivate will be replaced with a Nexus Prime that is scheduled to be revealed next week. I KNOW I'm going to miss CM7/Glitch no matter what the interface is like on the Prime.

So my question is... Assuming it's possible for the Prime to be rooted and supported with a CM7 ROM, how long does it typically take before a version of CM7 will run on it?
[Captivate Android Development] Chahk:
Prime will most likely ship with ICS. Next CM version will probably be based on that, and will take some time for CM team to develop.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Well remember it will more than likely run ICS. Therefore ICS has to be added into CM8 (it won't be CM7 anymore, it's a new version.)
[Captivate Android Development] 105437:
True, ICS is what the speculation is. I know it's impossible to know but if I had to go a year or so without CM... withdrawal symptoms would be rough! :)
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Did I miss that this thread was changed from Captivate CM7 to Nuxus Prime?

Seriously, if you want to talk about the Prime, look around online, there are plenty of forums where people are speculating about it. We don't need that here, lets try to keep this on topic.

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

I am pretty sure that Ryan's GPS fix does not work for CyanogenMod. It is based on the Samsung GPS drivers and AngryGPS. CM doesn't use either one.

The point of my post is to find out what the expectations are for supporting new hardware. It has nothing to do with the Nexus Prime specifically but any new Android phone. I could have said Bionic... what's wrong with asking a specific question regarding CM availability for newer hardware in this thread?

The only thing that really works on cm 7 is GPS aides from the market. It pre downloads and stores the GPS data and uses that to spotted up lock time and accuracy. It works well, but not all features work on cm 7.

Because it's against cm rules. Mainly the "never ask for a due date" rule. Cm will come to devices when it comes to devices. It's up to devs other than the cm designer to port it over. Then they apply to be mainstreamed, and if so then they get added to the nightly system, and can still submit updates for the specific device like the occasional new kernel or updated scripts. Otherwise if no devs jump to it, it will never come to the device.

What's wrong is that this thread is clearly for CyanogenMod 7 development for the Samsung Captivate, not CM8 development or questions about support for un-released devices.

You'll also see that it says "WILL (Probably) NOT WORK WITH CM7 OR MIUI." (emphasis/bold is Ryan's, not mine)

Within the first couple of pages there is a post specifically saying that someone tested with CM and it does not work.

If you think about it, dithering requires processing power (a rather significant amount, actually - the UI is noticably slower with it on). Turn it off, and less processor power is required.

I'm very surprised that voodoo sound works out of the box with the stock kernel. No need to look for other kernels!
[Captivate Android Development] CptTwinkie:
Well yeah. I mean if you just want to throw logic at the problem!

[Captivate Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Sorry! :P

I can't spot the difference myself. I would imagine there's a difference for devices with 65k color displays like the HTC HD2. I haven't actually noticed a difference either on those devices (I had one myself, and the lack of colors resulted in banding everywhere), but that might be just my eyes...
[Captivate Android Development] BL4zD:
I'm not seeing a visual difference myself...now just waiting until tomorrow to assess whether there's a noticeable battery life difference. What difference did you calculate? Is it minimal like 20 extra minutes of runtime or major like an extra 3 hours?
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Am going to turn off dithering and see if I notice a difference myself, too. On another note, what do you all run cpu setting at? Looks like default is "ondemand". How much of a difference does conservative or powersave make? Notice much of a difference performance-wise?
