I thought kb1 was a Captivate Modem? I am using a ROM based on i9000 Froyo on my Captivate and I tried the kb1 modem and it had Super Wifi and GPS but only 1 bar for Cell service. Are there 2 different kb1 modems? One for Captivate and one for i9000 I might have used the wrong one. Or I guess I need to go Gingerbread based ROM for kb1 to work?

Thanks

I had a similar problem with TIBU...I restored some files first and all was good...having a blast.

Then I left it doing the rest (over 300 total) and it continously will stop with about 200 left for some reason. I could do a few at a time but not the batch.

Do I need to use the move to SD option first then continue.

After restoring...Quadrant stopped working...vending began to FC etc.

PS

I did a move to SD batch of several files with Tibu and now Quadrant started to work again so I think the phone was running out of internal memory maybe due to the amount of apps?!

Is "cm7-captivate-initial.zip" tha same as the "cm7-DEVICE-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip" ?

One more question, after i flash this and have it running do i flash the latest nightly build update? or should i flash all nightly builds updates in order?

Sorry if it´s an obvious question, just want to make sure
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
yes, thats it. apparently they dropped the date from the initial.zip file name.

no the updates will supersede the next, just install the newest one.

also make sure to watch the video posted in the OP and you'll have no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
kb1 is a captivate modem however you must use the one on the cm7 dl site so yes there is the normal kb1 modem you can use with the froyo roms and the cm7 version.

Themes

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958497

Guys found some pretty cool themes on this thread and they are compatible with the theme chooser app. If you haven't tried using the theme chooser then you'll be amazed how easy it is to switch themes when you're bored. No more flashing themes that are hard to get rid of unless you reflash the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Hey guys, I have been holding off of flashing CM7 until a more stable release was announced but do stop by to take a look at how things are going. Would most of you say that most of the issues have been resolved(battery drain, etc...)?

Also, after reading this in atinm's signature, I almost flashed this ROM just because it's pure class:

"I do this for fun, but if you really want to thank me, sign-up as an organ donor; I am alive because of one."

Go back to stock?

Can i go back to stock using odin? Do i have to anything extra?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] Emil9727:
No you do not have to do anything extra. You just odin like normal.
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Most of the bugs that remain aren't the type of bugs you see on a daily basis. I'd say that most of the time I never run into any of the bugs.
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
I am trying to understand the data bug (RIL polling). Does the phone lose its connection while its sleeping, i.e., if I let it sit at my desk for a while it would stop receiving emails etc? And I would need to wake it to restablish the connection?
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
I have been on cm7 for 2 weeks and it is my daily driver and this is my work phone so I must have a reliable phone. Everything works except a few minor things. Zoom on the camera and stuff like that but the necessary stuff works. GPS, Bluetooth, wifi etc...

I am getting 12 to 16 hours depending on use which is getting better than I was getting originally. I did switch to jk4 instead of the default jl3 which is a little easier on the battery.

Flash it and find out.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Thanks for the info, really appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback bud, I just may flash CM7 this weekend if my flashing itch begins to get to me.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Not sure the ins and outs of RIL but I have no issues getting email etc... while the phone is idle.
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
Can't flash back from CM7...

I am trying to flash back from CM7 to any ROM. I am experiencing significant lag and issues with data connectivity. As many others have expressed this is the best rom they have used, I probably need to start over.

I am trying to use ODIN 1 click to get back to stock but my PC / ODIN is not recognizing my phone when I connect in download mode. I have used odin many many times and am confident in how to enter download mode from power off - hold volume buttons and connect cable. When i do this there is not response from ODIN or windows.

I have installed the Nexus S drivers - i can view my phone when its booted to CM7. I tried loading the captivate drivers too, no luck.

I can't get ODIN to recognize my phone in download mode... Ideas??

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
It takes longer than usual for the phone to get a data connection after boot. The work around is to quickly push the power button several times.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
No. The issue is the bootloader which is closed source and only knows BML. That's why we need to backup the efs, and install the initial kernel and then get into its recovery before the rest can be done. If Samsung ever opens the bootloader, we could do it but I doubt they ever will.
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
Yep, it's pretty much awesome. :D
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
So this issue is limited to at boot only? I hardly ever reboot unless I am flashing another modem etc.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Its only when you lose connection. So first boot, when you toggle airplane, etc, etc. It's not nearly as bad as it sounds though, just lock and unlock your phone and your good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I am having an issue , not sure if its related to Trident or the ROM but it seems the phone stops charging all of the sudden (I use it on USB or wall most of the time) and I have it takes a while to make it charge again.

Anyone has seen that?
[Captivate Android Development] rafsi:
lcd density

I posted this question earlier as well and am really hoping someone can answer this for me.

with the latest build of gingerbread on my captivate (3-14-2011), I can change lcd_density from 240 to 190, but when I reboot the phone the density change does not come in affect, thou the value in /system/build.prop read 190.

as a workaround I can use LCD Density app to make the change but that's temp and it reverts back as soon as i re-boot my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Does flash player not work on CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
You are getting into download mode on the phone though, right? Just as a random though, once you get into download mode, try unplugging the cable and plugging it back in. Sometimes I have to do that with mine to get Windows to recognize it.

Haven't seen this, but I'm not using Trident. First though, are you using the charger and cable that came with the phone?

I'm curious about this as well. I had my lcd_density set to 200 and I noticed that it stopped working properly after an update. I think the build.prop is overwritten with updates though, and I never went back to check to see if it still said 200 or to add it back, so I always assumed that was the issue.

Works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Torridred04:
Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it? That did it for me.

[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
Yes I have seen this too running CM7 initial kernel. When I charge my phone at night it seems it will fully charge and then start draining. Some nights I wake up to a fully charged phone and others I wake up to a 60% phone.
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
That too, but I've never seen my phone get hot enough for that to be an issue. To test it for anyone that is having the issue, see if your phone is getting hot when it charges, and if so try charging with the back off the phone and a fan blowing across it and see if it doesn't do it.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I noticed in the files download section, necessary to install CM7 on my Cappy, there were some files with .md5 extensions. Can someone briefly explain the purpose of these files, specifically are they necessary for proper installation of CM7? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
They are md5 hashes. If you don't know what they are, you don't need them.

The only time this happened was when I first flashed the initial from 3/4. I rebooted the phone and never had the issue for the week I ran it. I have been running it again for about a week and Trident since yesterday and I personally have not had any charging errors.
[Captivate Android Development] stevesteveLA:
Re: battery and charging, I've also ntoiced some inaccurate battery readings. I usually just reboot and it seems to be a more accurate reading afterwards, especially while charging.
[Captivate Android Development] ale922:
Okay, so i installed and everything went great. It´s worling, but i have a problem with wifi. I connect to my router and the 3g signal goes away and the wifi one appears. Thats normal, but when i open the browser or market or anything that uses network the 3g icon pops backup and the wifi changes color and just stays there and i cant open anything and get a bunch of no network, or network errors. What could be going on?

"the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"

My Captivate running the latest CyanogenMod rom is now getting the following error message after I reboot it:

the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again

I already tried pulling the battery and reseating the SIM card and still getting this error message. Has anyone seen this error message before or know how to fix this?

Try clearing cache and davlik cache in recovery, or reflash cm initial zip in clockwork.

Just an FYI, I mentioned earlier that I installed the honeycomb music player and it worked great. It does NOT work great, major battery hog. I seriously went 4 hours on a full charge, checked when it was near death, screen had been on a total of 4 mins and yes, I had charged to full.

Uninstalled that music app and i'm back up to 14-15 hours on pretty minimal use. Battery life for me has been ok (I never turn wifi on) but not as good as Paragon RC6(used to get 24-36 hours on moderate use with slight UV). That said, 14-15 hours gets me through a day just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Just curious. When u used the honeycomb player, could you add songs to playlists if u tried?
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
honestly I didn't mess with it all that much. I use songbird which works plenty well (since I use that on my PC as well). Just opened it, checked the different views and options and then stopped using it. Which is why I was surprised to see that it was using 40% of my battery when I never used it!

In the interest of full disclosure (in case you're interested in trying the honeycomb app) I had music sync turned on for my account so maybe that was the cause since its not an officially supported feature just yet.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
k thanks. i have music sync off and it uses 20% of battery
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:

IM going to be reinstalling cause I mess somethings up playing with the phone today.

Is the best way to install as usual using the latest cm7-captivate-initial.zip	2011-03-14	145.5 MB then upgrade with build update-cm-7-03162011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip	< 30 mins ago	91.4 MB and finally install the Trident kernel?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Dr.GreenLeaf:
I want to say I had this same thing happen. Is your internet secured? Need to re-enter security key?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You can do that and I think you will be good. When I messed up my install all I did was go into CWM recovery and wiped everything and performed a factory rest and then loaded the latest update and everything was fine again.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Hey, atimn, you guys implemented the bad block, bml_over_mtd fix yet? It looks relatively simple, but the latest update doesn't seem to have it in the update script, unless I'm totally missing something here.
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all the devs working on this. I have never used CyanogenMod before and decided to put CM7 on my Captivate yesterday. All in all it's a great experience; even better than I expected for something that is still in alpha/beta state. However, "this is not for you" applies to me for now because a) the email and camera apps don't have all the functionality I am used to (and need) and b) battery life is not all that great. I'm going back to Cognition for now but I'll definitely keep an eye on this project. Keep up the good work!

That's what I did to get mine. Also, I had some issues when I installed all the apps. I have since retried it with just the pre-selected stuff and did a TiBu restore and things are working ok. Now I just need to get the Memo app back and maybe the original clock app.

Lol, I"m not even finished setting up my phone from yesterday and now I get to upgrade again.

BTW, forgot to ask if anyone knows if the Battery Calibrator app on the marketplace is still compatible with CM7? It did specifically mention it, but I have also heard how another CM related app hasn't worked since CM5, so wanted to make sure before I used it. Thanks.

E:no misc partition

Now that atinm helped me with LCD Density issue, I figured i'll ask another question and catch his or others attention.

Since loading CM7,

1) I am getting "E:no misc partition" when in Recovery

2) My external SD card (8GB) does not work anymore, if I leave the card in, the phone will boot okay and then as the media scanner starts scanning external card, it basically cripples the phone, it goes slow beyond any acceptable means, I mean a click on a icon can take 2-3 min (yes minutes) for it to take note of it. eventually it just stops responding...

I am not sure if the 2 are related? also wondering if anyone else experienced similar behavior.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
1 means nothing, don't worry about it.

2 My external sd card works fine over here. Also, logcat or didn't happen.
[Captivate Android Development] vst2010:
So, if my initial CM7 file was dated 3/4/2011 and my update applied to that initial is dated 3/10/2011, can I flash the nightly update 3/16/2011 WITHOUT first installing the NEW initial dated 3/14?

2nd - copied these files to phone - DEVICE-efsbackup.zip - cm7-DEVICE-initial.zip

3rd - Flashed speedmod kernel using Odin from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880

4th - Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo and apply DEVICE-efsbackup.zip.

5th - Flash cm7-DEVICE-initial-kernel.tar as pda using odin without auto-reboot and without re-partition. This is where it fails.

Odin does recognize the device.

Is odin open with pda posted before you plug in phone? No. Odin was open but I did not have the file selected before hand. Could this be the problem?
