I am on the latest NEO currently, and the performance is up to par with the stock kernel at least on my phone, I'm very happy with it, I just figured I could try and get more features added by request and see how hacksung could do what the custom kernels already do,

And I forgot about VC = voltage control for I use control freak personally
[Captivate Android Development] WillyWonka23:
I've been using the Team Phoenix roms and currently love Mosaic VI.

What benefits are there switching to cm7? Is it worth it for performance or is there something else?
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Willy, I was a hard core mVI fan, then fell in love with apex, still love it, but wanted to try cm7. I find it the fastest, most responsive ROM I've used. I've been on it for 2 days now and am super impressed! It's a little more work setting up, no gapps and all, but well worth it imo. You have to try all roms to find out what you like and how they all compare. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

You won't find another ROM like this one. Totally new experience :D
[Captivate Android Development] :
I think I found out why we had this problem. After I installed the nightly, it turned off my auto-brightness. I noticed my phone was brighter earlier but didn't think anything of it. I usually get great battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] WillyWonka23:
Thanks for the replies. I went to Apex a few days ago and like it as well. Guess I'm in the same boat as you. I'll install it tonight and give it a try. Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] buttstache:
I've been searching google, XDA, and everywhere I can find for an answer to my problem, but so far no luck. So I'm gonna post in here and ask.

I recently installed CM7 nightly 96 on my Captivate. This was my first time flashing CM7, and I came from Serendipity 7. Everything went well, and aside from some weirdness with swapping the positions of my SD cards, this is the only real issue I've been having.

Basically, my browser will NOT recognize adobe flash player. Stock or Opera, both act like I just don't have any flash installed. I've tried using different apks for 10.1, 10.2, and the 10.3 from the market, rebooting between each one, and all act the same way. As per instructions on the CM forum, I tried removing permissions from the flash config file, still nothing.

This is really driving me batty, because I watch a lot of flash videos on my phone, and this one bug is really killer to me. Does ANYONE have a solution to this?? Is it a Captivate thing? Is everyone suffering with no flash videos and just isn't posting?? Or did I somehow muck something up!?

I haven't tried going to nightly 98 yet, since the changelog for it didn't look like anything meaningful. Anyway tia~~
[Captivate Android Development] stewtang:
this happened to me once. I fixed permissions in rom manager. Not sure if that is what fixed it or just the reboot after. Worth trying out at least
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
i was having the exact issue on my tablet running honeycomb on certain custom roms, i couldnt fix it on there either so i simply switched roms, but my reccommendation is either update your nightly, or download an earlier nightly and wipe everything in the process of the flash of either. i havent updated since i think nightly #92 because nothing i saw in the changelog seemed worthwhile enough to update again and im getting amazing performance/stability, probably the best ive ever seen on any non-tablet device, i think you probably had a data corruption upon downloading the rom from the cm7 nightly server or something because i too watch TONS of flash video on skateboarding websites and i would throw a nerd fit if my flash randomly stopped like you are reporting :p there are ways to fix it, and yes im on the same rom with working flash, just an earlier nightly
[Captivate Android Development] Guy Noir:
My Captivate still had auto-brightness turned on so I don't think that is the problem. I also noticed that the device was getting warm to the touch, which is usually an indication that the processor is being over-worked. I looked at the battery use statistics and the largest user is (of course) Android OS, however it is at 31% which seems like a higher number than with earlier builds. I haven't gone back to 90 yet but I may this weekend when I have more time.

Is it safe to flash a nightly if I am currently running Serendity VII with gingerbread bootloader?

I have been thinking about finally giving Cyanogenmod a test drive.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Maybe I have missed the response but is TV OUT something that is under consideration to add it or not?

It is the only thing preventing me from calling my phone 100 perfect.

Right now with jarcade and all the other emulators plus the ps3 controller...all I need is tv out :-)
[Captivate Android Development] xtop:
did a search and saw others with the problem, but haven't seen a solution. when making/receiving a call, the person on the other side can't hear me. any idea's?

edit: i should note that calling them back after the first failed call works.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Did you try a different modem just as a test? When did the problem begin?
[Captivate Android Development] kurrptsenate:
For some reason I keep getting errors now when trying to install new apps. From the market it says insufficient space, and from four shared it says theres a problem parsing the link. I checked the datadata folder and it says i have 45 free megs.

I tried changing app install location but that would fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] TomMelee:
I'm having some really strange issues. I had been running nightly from 8/5 with KC1 modem, just switched a few days ago to most recently nightly and the JL3 modem, because my call quality was balls.

The good news is that my call quality is made of WIN now, and everything is much faster, but holy crap is my battery drain nuts. Like....8-10%/hour idle, all radios off but mobile data.

Interestingly llama is reporting 46%, but literally all I have it doing is turning on my wifi at home, all other profiles 100% disabled---and it was set like this before the update.

Also, i've been trying to use the DailyRoads Voyager app as a dashcam, but if I plug it in while running my phone overheats EVERY TIME and yesterday, craziest thing, it stopped accepting that it was plugged in...even though it was. Obviously the app eats a lot of battery to just let it run. Force reboot and it was fine.

Battery has been calibrated. Anyone else seeing this? I was trying to track down what the "new" modems were, but honestly there's so much noise in all these forums now it's hard to know what's what.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I have seen this as well with google maps/nav and even while using it as a MP3 player. I think the problem is that it is just getting too hot and it is hitting some sort of thermal cutoff. The phone stays on, but it is no longer able to charge, and the phone is hot to the touch. I have experienced it on CM7 as well as other ROMs, so I don't think it is exclusive to any particular ROM, though I have not tried it with stock.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I had a similar problem. Check to see if your cache partition is full. If so, you can clear the cache through CWR.

[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Is there something unique about the CM7 overclock method?

No other ROMs since Eclair would allow me to OC to 1.2GHz, but now CM7's built-in OC seems to be working fine at 1.2GHz for me.

Not complaining, just curious....
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Try glitch. We have different leakages, which help significantly with OC for a bunch of people.
[Captivate Android Development] stavs:
flashed successfully, except my wifi does not work at all, even after rebooting. Not sure wtf is going on. Im using the speed speedmod kernerl with the latest version of cyanogen. My phone is the rogers branded version of the captivate.

I'm going to have to revert back to stock if i cant figure this out, shame because it seems very fast and responsive.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Nearly all my apps are force closing. Not sure what caused it. I'm back on stock kernel too. I want to start fresh but Ti backup FC's. Rom manager too. What can I do?
[Captivate Android Development] Aztecbandit:
Dude that sucks. That happens to me A LOT! I normally have to flash to stock and reflash CM7. If you have back up shouldn't be a problem to get those apps
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Well somehow I got rom manager working and fixing permissions seems to have fixed everything. :)
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Well did my first nightly update. Went from 96 to 100. It was soooo easy! Didn't see much reason to update in between. 96 was literally flawless for me. Only did 100 because it was, well, 100! I haven't had to reboot, nothing, to keep this ROM running perfectly. It is the new standard for me. Thanks to the team for all the hard work. I'm not oc'd, uv'd. Stock kernel. I had a bad experience with glitch, not sure why, probably my fault, and talon has never run well for longer than 12hrs for me. Point is, I'm happy.

i cant find it in the changelog, and searching for it in this thread is producing too many results, but i thought i remember reading that OC/UV have been added to the stock rom? is that correct? and if so can oith OC and UV be manipulated without using any 3rd party apps?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
OC can be, but not UV.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Stock kernel has OC abilities now.. and not sure what you mean, buy 3rd part apps work for OC/UV. Changelog can be found in the OP. Scroll down.. you will see device specific changelog ..click on it ;)

Too high of an OC?

OC also boosts the bus speed (gpu), which may cause screen artifacts, because it is too high for the gpu.

I came over from Mosaic VI to the latest 100 nightly. I can't find my tibu backup anymore. Tibu says there isn't one anywhere found on the system. I flashed back to MVI and was able to find it again.

Its under the sdcard/external_sd/TitaniumBackup folder.

But after going to CM7 it isn't there. Any help would be great! lol
[Captivate Android Development] StaticMatt:
Try searching the whole device and not just sd card?
[Captivate Android Development] WillyWonka23:
Nah, it isn't that easy unfortunately =/
[Captivate Android Development] gilpdawg:
Would it be under the emmc folder?

I just got a replacement cappy and am happily back on cm7 but I've run into an issue with rom manager not wanting to acknowledge that I have internet connection when every other app on my phone does. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Sarcoid:
They can be turned off but the UI for the settings was taken out when it was removed from the stock kernel. You'd have to replace the CMParts.apk to configure LED notifications. Glitch V12 is switching to BLN anyway and you'd use the BLN app to configure it.
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
Its under emmc. The titanium backup scan (when you change location) should find it automatically.
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Yes - overclocking was added around #85 iirc, but there's OC up to 1.3GHz only, and no UV.

FWIW, I discovered that if I only used CM settings to OC to 1.3GHz, then my phone would eventually crash, but by continuing to use the Voltage Control app instead, and it's UV settings, it's stable @ 1.3.

Perhaps CM will add UV settings too at some point.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
so the stock kernell does have uv abilities, but cm7 just doesnt come with a way to change those settings?
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Correct.

$ adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table

[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
I've notice android os is using lots of CPU. Does cm7 still have the aos bug?

Also noticed closing browser will crash launcher pro...causing redraw.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
My android OS is showing 6%. Switched to ADW but looking back (I used LP forever) it did FC here and there. I bypassed that by making the long press back button kill apps. Therefore I would just longpress back button when anything was acting up. Always restarted LP for me and worked as my workaround. ..but anyway :p
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Android os for me is only at 3% and I haven't seen the os bug personally ever on CM7 but that doesn't mean a app hasn't gone wild for you. Get os monitor and see what is causing it.

As far as launcher pro I don't have the force close issues anymore since I moved launcher pro to internal SD card. Never force closes for me when exiting the browser but I use Dolphin HD.

[Captivate Android Development] TomMelee:
So just something strange to report:

The other day I came in here after updating to like...97 or 96 or something, complaining about my battery life. Yesterday, I was getting FC's all over the place, and realized I should probably fix permissions. I did. I have not done ANYTHING else since then besides my normal overnight charge and buy C25k, that's IT. I spent probably 3-5 hours today playing music over google music beta and on an audiobook and on iheartradio, played a couple games, etc. It's now been 14 hours since I took it off the charger and I'm still showing 52%, which is especially remarkable b/c I keep the screen on when I run on the treadmill. (25 minutes.)

So...uh...maybe bad permissions causes system apps or some process within android OS to hang?

Just an observation.

Im just wondering if this is normal (has anyone else noticed this?)

Everyday, I install the latest nightly (currently at #102). At nightly #96 and every subsequent nightly (with exception to nightly #99 which I did not install because it had no changes listed), after the rom installs and the phone boots initially, my phone will reboot once after the OS is completely loaded. To clarify:

Open Rom Manager from within Android and check for updates.

Update is found, I hit OK to download the update and check the Google Apps box that appears following the initial box asking whether to download it or not.

After the rom is downloaded, I pull down the notifications and 'click' on the 'download complete' notification. This brings rom manager back to the forefront with a window that has 'Wipe Davlik cache' already selected. I hit OK with only the 'Wipe Davlik cache' option selected (so I leave the other two boxes unchecked).

The phone reboots and installs the rom, then loads up Android again.

After the OS is loaded and widget locker takes over, about 5-10 minutes later, the phone reboots once and works fine the rest of the day (no more random reboots, just the one).

It has done this both with and without the USB charging cable plugged in...

Has anyone else experienced this?

FYI, I am coming from stock 2.1 (done using Odin) along with a Master Clear for the 'extra clean' feeling, then used AIO to flash nightly #80ish and then just updated to every nightly since (with exception to a couple that had no apparent changes listed in the changelog).

Currently Im on nightly #102.

While I could try flashing back to stock and experimenting to see if it is an app blah blah blah, Im not hugely concerned with it since the phone usually reboots once while I am in the shower (and no, the phone is not in the bathroom with me, it sits on the desk in the living room) and works like a charm the rest of the day.

Im just wondering if anyone else has noticed this...
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
I have never noticed such behavior, but I always set everything up (ie installing the chainfire 3d drivers and voltage stuff) then do a hard reboot after every flash, and since nothing has happened that would change usability for me personally since nightly 92 or so I haven't updated since then, unless its a bug that's developed since 92 I haven't ever seen said issues
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
what app is suggested for undervolting the stock kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Voltage Control has always worked well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Two questions:

1. How did you bind the long press back button?

2. What did you bind it to that will force close bad apps?
[Captivate Android Development] speedy_11:
Their is an option to "stop apps via long press" Its in settings > applications > development > second from bottom
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Just like speedy said.. go into settings>applications>development > stop app via long press.

I actually didn't bind it to anything, I just selected it to kill apps- that way, for example if Launcher Pro wouldn't load fast or if I felt an FC coming, I would just long press the back button which killed my apps, forcing LP to restart. I also recall doing that on an app that kinda froze one time. Can't remember what app, but killing it quickly helps..then just reopen it :)

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Reinstall the Samsung Galaxy S drivers, first of all. And since you have the SDK installed, update it fully, it'll install the newest Nexus S drivers. Then restart your computer. At start, right click on Odin and run as admin (I never have to, but it helps some people). Then plug in the USB cable, turn off your phone, hold the two volume buttons, and plug the USB cable into your phone.
