You forgot the most important one: AOSP based. Everyone who jumped the wagon knows this but it must be made clear: this is the latest available from Google. It's 2.3.3 - it's not the amazing 2.2 for Cappy or 2.2.1 for i9000 which are both outdated.

This is what has driven a lot of ppl AWAY from Android. The lack of the last and most new stuff because the manufacturers and carriers keep holding the updated.

I too think the TW caller is better (I like to integrate with my Facebook and merge contacts) but you know what? I can let that go for the fact that I know my phone is actually getting updated.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
After I installed CM7 on my captivate I recieved an email, thanking me for buying a nexus S. Now when I plug the phone into the computer, the computer thinks I just plugged a Nexus S in. It doesn't bother me, but is a bit intresting. Presumably this was ripped from CM7 for the Nexus S?

Anyone able to get Miui music player installed? Tried alternate methods like putting apk in /system/app and /data/app and wont work.. is it not compatible?

[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Updated??? Is CM7 for captivate going to be updated when Gingerbread for Nexus S gets updated?????
[Captivate Android Development] Croxz:
my pc does not identify my captivate, CM7 I can install without this step?

"Reboot into Download Mode and flash cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar as pda using odin without auto-reboot"

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] chrisz5z:
Tried that and still not working. I compared the repos of atinm and kangsterizer with Meld and the bcm4329.ko file wasn't even modified. So im not sure, i suppose i could try and do a fresh install of everything but with kang's kernel

Most of the issues you read are probably from the earlier builds that were 2.3.2, battery life wasn't so great, but its improved greatly since 2.3.3
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
Does this build include the native sip client?

Does it work over 3G?

if yes to both, that's the only reason I would like to try this rom

[Captivate Android Development] amarpatel:
I've got two quick questions, not sure if they've been answered already, but I did browse around 20+ pages of the thread

1) how do I get more themes? can I install any of the ones from the Captivate app/theme section or the i9000 theme section?

2) is there any way to get a battery symbol in the notification bar that shows a number rather than a silhouette

thanks...I'm loving Cyanogen so far!

do i need to flash to stock..the instructions say just to flash a kernel with cwm 2.5 or 3...can i flash over a custom rom that has that kernel or flash to stock odin one click and then odin a kernel.

thanks

I installed over Supernova with SuckerPunch kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Evilspawn:
good thank you my friend for the quick reply!:p
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
While using the 501 build, I woke up Tuesday morning with no data on my phone. I toggled airplane mode, etc, but data would not come on. I think restarted the phone and data started working again. I have never used the 2G/3G toggle, so my problem was unrelated to that. I assume that I lost data over night due to AT&T network issues.

5/4 update fixed this for me
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
anyone having a wifi problem? mine is connected to my home network but i can't the browser on my phone.. i tried google and firefox and dolphin........ i see signal on my wifi and no error but i can't go online.....

im trying 05-04 see if it will fix it...
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
+1 --- confirmed working for me on 5/4 release as well
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
i did try the 0504... wifi works for the first 1 minute or so.. then stop.. i tried wiping cache and dalvik... after reboot my wifi would work in the first few minutes and it stops...

does anyone having the same problem?
[Captivate Android Development] gdbusby:
Those are zero and not the letter O correct? I can't figure out why I can send MMS, but can't download anything sent to me. I input that string after using the *#info#* code and my phone settings, did the refresh, put in the string, update and refresh again. Reset my phone, then tried again. I even took out my SIM and put it in an old Moto Q9 and sent and received a few MMS and SMS. This is frustrating. Anyone else got any other potential ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyhans:
Yep same issue. For some reason the wifi keeps disconnecting...

Only for the 5/3 5/4 build.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
It should be numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. My understanding is that GSM encoding uses Hex.

[05/04/2011] - Broke compass for me
[Captivate Android Development] papercutMS:
Broken how? Did you try and recalibrate?

Mine works fine, but needs recalibration after each reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] gdbusby:
Thought so. Odd that I can send MMS, but can't download the image when one is sent to me. Stressing out over simple stupid things isn't good way to spend your day off.
[Captivate Android Development] syl0n:
Correction. It works in some apps, like Maps or the Compass app. But GPS Test compass seems to be screwed up! As I rotate the Google Maps correctly shows my direction but GPS Test compass is broken. o.O

Edit: By broken i mean it doesn't show direction correctly. As I rotate it, it rotates left/right but ends up saying West is North, then If I rotate to North then North is correct... yeah its not completely dead but not showing right direction

Going Back To Stock

All, i'm running th 4/21 nightly still and thinking of going back to stock. Flashing the phone has been awesome, but addicting. Can I just do the Odin 1 Click back to stock or do I have to do somthing different?
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
For those of you who have wifi problem I think the problem is on 0503. What I did to solve my problem is I went back to 0428 using nandroid back up (using CM restore option) and reupdate using nightly 0504. So far no problem been running for 3 hours
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
Same problem too, but is doesn't work in google navigation
[Captivate Android Development] ralexand:
This is a joke right? St-st-stock???

(yes, ODIN will do it, TRAITOR!)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Stock? I feel like **** even in the brief minutes I am doing stock after using Odin 1 click...you must be kidding!

Going Back to Stock

Well, i'm giving the Cappy to my wife and getting the Atrix. I'm going to miss this.
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
Haha! Too true....
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
To each its own...I went to the store to upgrade, tested the Atrix vs my Captivate...came out with a second captivate for my wife. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ralexand:
Now THAT is surprising -- what steered your decision? Perosnally, while the development is nice on this phone (even though we're lacking source), I think the hardware leaves a lot to be desired (GPS, camera flash -- just those two alone are big IMO).
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
development on the atrix? repackaging motorola ROM's = development? this is news to me. winzip-devs for the lulz.

don't mistake decompiling and theming for development. and don't really put much hope into source code changing anything, the bootloader is locked so you're gonna be stuck with those same rehashed motorola kernels forever.

edit: oh look here, https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/sfmain/do/go/rel1543?returnUrlKey=1301256425082 source is available (kernel.tgz)... nothing's gonna change about that.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Kaik, I think he was saying that the hardware for the Atrix is more important than the development community, not saying that the dev community is better than ours.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
I have a problem. I bought a new battery and i can now get it into download mode but when i plug it. Odin or my computer doesn't recognize the phone but sometimes it will randomly. But when it does i get a "unknown device" is there a fix for this. This all happen when i tried to recalibrate the battery but it wouldn't turn on anymore only a jig can turn it on into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
Latest update's changes for sensors has made Screebl go back to not working.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I know what he was saying, but he was chalking it up to a lack of source (which isn't so)... I'm saying hardware means nothing if you can't have software to back it up.

reinstall the drivers, use a different computer, try heimdall, etc.

open source driver > screebl
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Not really THAT surprising...quite a few users I have read have experiences the same thing.

Laggy as hell, ran nenamark side by side and my captivate rapped it 42 vs 62 (not really telling but fun lol) and the worst thing...the screen just plain pathetic compared to the Galaxy S. I will wait for Galaxy S 2 or better.

GPS yes not great but works good enough for me..Camera flash on a phone...who cares, I have a real camera for pictures I do care for so those for me are non issues.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
DesignGears got the Atrix the day it was released...and dumped it in favor of a HTC Inspire shortly thereafter because there was no way to develop for it. (He later switched over to Verizon and now has a Thunderbolt I think). The Atrix is a good concept but poorly implemented.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I can't seem to flash the latest nightly, or any update for that matter. Currently on 5/03, seems it's having trouble with my build.prop for some reason. Will post my recovery log momentarily.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
You are installing from a non-standard kernel and that kernel set the build properties to make your Captivate look like a galaxys. Your phone thinks it is a galaxys right now.

[Captivate Android Development] bilboa1:
when you install my kernel take the captivate version if you have a captivate, not I9000 :P
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I swear the only dowmloads I have in my directory are captivate.. Unless one was somehow mislabeled. I just noticed the values ("GT-I9000" etc) listed in the log are not the same as in my build.prop.. Where does recovery read these from?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
/system/build.prop
[Captivate Android Development] bilboa1:
Try to flash that:

http://kang.project-voodoo.org/f/CM7/Captivate/CM7_Captivate_kernel_kang_20110504_r10_update.zip

then flash the CM7 update

if that doesn't work, then maybe I messed up
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
I fixed my problem with the odin issue. My samsung usb stopped working completely so that I got another micro usb and flashed it back to stock then to cm7! I missed cm7 even tho it was half a day lol
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Yes, I flashed r10, rebooted, then was able to flash the nightly and after that, r10 again. All is well now.

I double checked though and I definitely don't have any i9000 versions of your kernel I may have flashed by mistake. Is it possible that when I flashed a recent one bad blocks were detected and a new .img overwrote my /system? Maybe the i9000 img was placed in the captivate zip by mistake.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
I'm also unable to receive mms but am able to send. My wife is also on cm7 but the 5/01 nightly and is experiencing the same issue.

It shows up with a download button but says failed to retrieve each time.

If I can provide a specific log if it helps, I will.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
It is the custom kernel you installed from bilboa1 (he didn't check and had galaxys in his captivate update's build.prop) - blame bilboa1 ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
There are some major gpu issues with this. One being the dc emu that i could show authors (trying to keep the dc emu low key). The other is in an3dbench, specifically on the test (Emperors new clothes. it lags severe on all cm7 builds after 04/21/2011)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Naw . . . really?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Luckily games and other stuff that really matters works beautifully.. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] zaures:
Haha ouch...
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
Agree with the above comments, and I have to disagree.

Both an3dbench runs I got WELL more than acceptable numbers. On the EX version I got 30,655 and on the non-EX I got 8266. So I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. 30,655 is a higher score than the Motorola Atrix and any Qualcomm phone.

Haters gonna hate ;)

What problems are you getting with the dc emu? Working how it should for me.

I seem to have lost the Google talk app from my phone going from 5/1 to 5/4.

[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
it happened to me after updating to the last nightly, I solved it by reinstalling the g-apps package.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Had same problem earlier. Uninstalled gmail and reninstalled from market and that fixed it.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Hm, I'm getting what's looking like a boot loop on the 05/04 build, there's no lag on the bootanimation, but it's been spinning for a good 5-6 minutes both on the stock and Kang kernels...

If you need a log of some sort, I can't really get it for you as ADB is choosing to not recognise my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
Thanks, looks like there was a new gapps put out too. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
True but on previous builds i got better scores.

The DC emu has corrupted graphics on crazy taxi

This is reported only on the captivate thus far. (Thunderbolt gingerbread works fine)
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
Benchmarks seem a bit superfluous ATM, don't you think? I mean, I'm sure there's more optimization to squeeze out, but this isn't even RC status yet... Plus, most benches I've ran came back with well more than acceptable results.

Give it time, I'm sure they can stabilize everything given time. :)
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
Thank you sir it works.
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
anyone else having issues if they reboot where it stays on the boot animation forever and never boots

Ya, I was just going to report issue with failed resore from nandroid backup after updating to 5/4.

Tried several times but kept getting stuck in bootloop.

Gave up an installed from scratch.

Included update...then stuck in bootloop again.

Wiped again and avoided update.

Wish I would have thought to just reboot. Lol
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
Same here. I can send but not receive. MMS hasn't worked properly for me since the 4/28 nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] esancakt:
I'm also having problems with MMS, on at&t i did an update to the 5/4 from 4/10. Talked to att and they reset me from their side with no fix for the mms problem
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I recive my mms.

I do not get any notification. (I do for sms).

click download just says downloading
[Captivate Android Development] esancakt:
yeah mine gets the message but doesnt auto download and if you click download it says that it was unsuccessful.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
After 5 5-minute reboots, my phone finally started. Back to CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Yep MMS is borked pretty bad on this release. My MMS was fine and would even autodowload the images on any from 4/28 and older. Now its just broken and i cant download any MMS msgs. Good thing i got an iPhone 4 for when i need it LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] Evilspawn:
Ok cool just checking it just wasn't me (well no not cool but u know what I mean)
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Just wondering I do not see this in the change list, but my data has been horrable for rates. My signal has been worse since the last two updates. Was there a driver change that could have caused this? I am thinking I might need to start from scratch again.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
I'm on the 0501 nightly and my phone no longer rings when I get calls/texts. This didn't used to happen and I don't know why it started now. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Same here just tried to send a small mms video and it said it could not send it. I had set it up for the smallest video capture.

Also I have noticed some wifi issues a bit too, it loses the signal and goes back to just the 3g/H signal until I toggle the wifi in the pull down notification then it comes back to full wifi signal. I was thinking it was my router until I started toggling the pulldown button. I have even rebooted the modem and router in the past few days to se if that would fix it. I have also experienced it with my second Cappy that runs the 2.3.3 Gingerbread Continuum, maybe an issue with JVB source?

Sent from My KickAss Captivated CM7 OC'd 1.4Ghz/Undervolted
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I didn't have wifi issues yesterday on 20110504, but today my wifi didn't reconnect after sleep until I toggled it off and back on. Maybe it is related to "better wifi suspend behavior during sleep" from the 20110503 update.
[Captivate Android Development] esancakt:
what was the last nightly that mms worked on? anyone know?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
MMS works fine for me running the latest nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] BTTNext:
Same here.
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
For me it was 4/28
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Same here. Also im not having any other issues at all. No problems with wifi, sms, ringtones and notification tones, all is working. The only thing is the MMS and also not getting a notification sound for incoming MMS like i did on 04/28.
[Captivate Android Development] Vik_92_Sandhu:
I can't boot into recovery. I've tried 3 button combo and adb. Is this normal?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
we haven't done anything to affect 3 button, if you can't get into recovery with that it is user error. as for adb, it should only work (and correct me if I'm wrong atinm) if you're on the latest nightly.

[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Anyone else have a bug where you would not be able to boot passed the CM7 loading screen (not kernel splash screen) when clearing cache from CWM? I just cleared mine and it didn't boot passed so I had to NANDROID restore.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Hold down both volume keys and the power button until the phone reboots. This should fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
This would just reboot me back into CWM. Wouldn't help to get passed it unless I'm missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I think he means hold down vol up + power, which power cycles. And it's a known bug with the new sensor libs, should be fixed in the next nightly. Just reboot until it works.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I hold down both volume up+down and the power button, but you need to let go the second the screen goes black. If you still hold down when the I897/896 logo comes up then you will boot into recovery. Or try what TheEscapist said, same thing.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Ah, thanks. I've tried twice before I did a restore. I'll try it again later.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
why is it necessary to load a kernel like speedmod at the beginning of the install process just to run the efsbackup.zip, couldn't you just load cwm as an update.zip on stock 2.1 and then flash the efsupdate to accomplish the same thing? seems easier than loading a whole kernel...
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
You need to be running a kernel that understands RFS and EXT4. The stock kernel does not.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
thank you sir =D
[Captivate Android Development] drkangel09:
This doesn't seem to be accurate, as I did exactly what he suggested (CWM as update.zip on a stock ROM from Odin 1-click) and didn't have any problems with the flash. I had previously been running a speed moded kernel, but Odin should have wiped that out when I went back to stock, I think?
