Congratulations atinm! Saw the posts about you on engadget and android central! You really have done so much for the community! :) and I can't wait for you to bring all this good stuff to my next phone SGSII
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I use Nightly #4 :) I have it OC'd to 1.2 GHz with -50 across the board (VERY conservative OC), conservative CPU governor, noop O/O scheduler, and I'm not sure of any other settings. I have BLN on, which drains battery. Always have sync on, also drains. Both can be turned off for big gains in battery life. Not sure what else to suggest, but that is what works really well for me!

Thank you very much for the info, i will give it a try. Appreciate it;)

Out of Control FC loops

Has anybody run into this issue? Randomly I will see all of my programs FC and even when I try to fix permissions on Rom manager, it wont let me or it doesnt help. When I update to a new nightly it tends to only make it worse- only solution seems to be a hard reset but it always happens again after a few weeks. I am really considering just switching to a stable ROM b/c I cant deal with this anymore. When it happens I cant even backup b/c none of my programs will open. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
First option is always to wipe cache and dalvik + fix permissions (I prefer to do everything from recovery, as opposed to using ROM Manager). If that doesn't work/help, then just use TB to back up only user apps, and just do a wipe and then reflash rom + gapps. Only restore user app/data with TB. That should fix you up 99.9% of the time.

YMMV, of course ;)
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Make sure all your apps are on the internal. I went into tiny and moved all user apps to internal. For some reason they automatically go to the sdcard (not all apps but a few). Once I have moved them I have no issues with force closes or issues with LauncherPro popular for force close upon each reboot. Worth a try if you can get it stable enough to do that.

If you can't then I hate to say it but a factory reset WILL WORK. Then when you restore from tiny just restore the user apps with NO DATA until you know it is stable then one by one start restoring the user app data. NEVER SYSTEM APPS AND DATA. To me it sounds like something got restored from a backup that messed up your system apps.

is there an app or a way to put your mobile data on a timer?

My work has really bad signal, my phone is in my pocket, i normally just turn it on airplane mode, then break time, i go outside where i can get a signal, i turn airplane mode off for 10 mins while on break.

Is there a way to set that up on a timer, so at say 9.30am airplane mode turns off, then when break is finished at 9.40am, airplane mode turns back on?

Im guessing there isnt, but if there was a way it would be pretty cool for people that cant get a good signal.

Just an idea

I had to Odin back to stock.

I rooted then installed ROM manager premium. I flashed captivate update, rebooted.

CyanogenMod doesn't show up under "download ROMS" anymore in ROM manager premium. There are only 4 categories: google addons, MIUI, design gears, and something else I don't recall.

What happened to CM7 nightlies? This was how I originally installed it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
It says so in the OP. When you flash CWM, choose CaptivateMTD for a recovery when you are on a kernel with integrated recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
It's showing up as normal for me.. but i don't see MiUi on the list. You may have to go in to settings>CM settings>System> check the box for update notifications.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
I had this happen a few days ago. Turned out the datadata partition was full. Setting dolphin to cache to the SD and making sure that my SMS/MMS limit was set to 200 cleared up a lot of space. No fcs since doing that.

Go to terminal emulator or adb shell and type df, that will show you used and availible space for all the mounted partitions. If datadata is low try wiping data and uninstalling apps you don't have to have.

[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
FCs from com.android.phone

com.android.phone is throwing up a barrage of force closes. I believe it's because I toggled to 2G via the notification bar controls.

That same notification bar network toggle does not switch back to 2G/3G (is currently on 2G). Flashing the modem did not work. (I have also wiped both the cache and Dalvik cache, just for good measure.)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Save those suggesting I reflash the entire ROM, eh. ;)) Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Never use the 2G/3G toggle, it doesn't work. Honestly I have no clue how to fix it, I just wanted to warn you for the future.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
quickest way to fix it: factory reset.

[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I was getting the same issue on #23. Flashed back to #20 and it back to normal.
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
For future reference about the 2G toggle (or incase you havent factory reset yet)

You don't actaully have to wipe all of your data.

go to /data/data/ (i ussed sshdroid since the FC loop stoped me from using the screen)

and delete anything starting with com.android. that contains phone, telephony, or settings.

I'm not exactly sure what needs to be wiped but that fixed it for me.

[Captivate Android Development] shotta35:
Ok here goes a weird question for ya'll.

Can anyone change the bootanimation.zip on these ROMs? I had a Nexus One (with CM7 ofcourse) and it was easy to change the ROM - just get another another bootanimation.zip and stick it in there. I've done it with several files now and just can't get them to work! :confused:

When i replace it the phone still boots but it's blank till the phone boots up completely. I want the original Samsung Galaxy S boot anim - maybe because it's 480 x 800 instead of 480 x 480? I've read pages and pages on how to create them. I've even edited the one included with CM7 by just replacing the files (same filenames and all that) and still nothing!

(Yes i edited the desx.txt file or whatever the name is :D to match the resolution)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
this is more a question for the themes section of xda than this thread as bootanimation.zip support is already included in this ROM (and clearly works as the CM7 animation works fine). your black screen problem likely stems from your zipping up of the file. a bootanimation cannot be compressed. the zip file must be set to "store" and not "compress"

sftp fixed in next nightly

EDIT: and of course, as soon as I posted this, I noticed that the changelog for the next nightly will include a fix for the broken sftp: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,5961

All you should need to do is setup dropbear ssh as usual, and make sure dropbear is running on the phone, then sftp root@yourphone using a terminal or any gui app that supports sftp (like filezilla).

Didn't test sftp until just now, since rsync is all I use, and... it doesn't seem to be working:

$ sftp root@captivate
external/dropbear/sftp-server: not found
Connection closed
$ ssh root@captivate grep modver /system/build.prop
ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-7-06102011-NIGHTLY-Captivate

The sftp-server exists at /system/xbin/sftp-server, and not /external, so maybe it was just misconfigured ootb.

You need to select it from the android keyboard itself (click the gear icon to the left of the spacebar) I've had this same issue over the last few builds when I wipe my data between builds. Just selecting it from the Keyboard and Input area of the Settings app doesn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] deeZer0:
I was having this issue all the time and it was annoying as hell. I had tried fix permissions (both from Rom Manager and directly from CW) and it would fix the problem for a bit but then always creep back up. I recently saw someone post somewhere in this thread about running Cache Cleaner NG so I gave it a shot. I haven't had a single FC since.

Did you use kernel manager or kernel manager pro? I just downloaded the free version to check it out and did not see a usable kernel for CM7 which I didn't expect to see anyways. So can you put a CM7 kernel into a file where it will see it so you can flash it? Any info would be cool. Thanks I like checking out new options.

Black Screen After Placing Calls

I feel with 800+ pages it's gotta already be mentioned, and I mentioned it in the ROM Manager comments (but I seriously have no idea if the devs pay attention to those or not).

Running #24 and the screen still goes black after initially placing a call or taking a call, before I hold it up to my face. Holding it up to my face and back down again though allows me to select the dial-pad and such again. The sensor seems to be triggered too early, and falsely.

Nevermind.. I downloaded Platypus Kernel, flashed that via the Pro Version and that did infact revert CWM to the older version which restored mount and allowed me to re-flash nightly #23.

Thank you so much!! That was some geniusness!
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
It has indeed been mentioned, but not fixed.

The screen-blanks-immediately-after-a-call-connects behavior only happens to the FIRST call after booting up; all other calls don't blank until you actually put the phone up to your face and trigger the prox sensor.

As a workaround, I've just gotten used to manually putting my finger over the prox sensor after I make/receive my first call. It'll get fixed eventually.

So am I right the only way beside going back to stock is by flashing a new kernal?

Also if flashing stock then going back yo cm7. #24 wouldn't that still make the mount messup?
[Captivate Android Development] bluestevo:
Yes CWM will not mount the SD. I've reflashed CWM and tried reflashing 24 but like I said it comes up error can't mount SD.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks. I'm running #23 and just wanted to double check.

I think I will hold out on #24 at the moment though, all this mounting talk has me a little wary.
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
Yes, flashing a new kernel worked perfectly for me. It appears that build #24 updates CWM Recovery to 4.0 which breaks mount on the SD card when in Recovery. Which to answer your 2nd question would again be duplicated if you re-installed build #24. If you do decide to go back to stock and re-flash, just choose build #23 and you'll be fine.

I really recommend flashing a new kernel via Kernel Manager Pro and just then re-flashing #23 via RomManager.. It was all done in less then 5 mins if that.

I'm getting no ringtone or notification tones. Speaker works fine for music and when I set the ringtone volume level w/ the rocker, it makes the beep letting you know what the volume is.

If you have no choices left before factory resetting you can try to flash a older CM kernel with oden (or any kernel with clockwork 3). Then you can install build 23 on top.
