Was native LED notification removed from the latest nightly (#17)? I can't seem to find the option now in CM Settings.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
#17 is great. No problem and very stable. I can't wait for number #18 sound like they are working on brightness. I can't wait to run cm all stock again
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I believe it was removed in the 7.1 KANG and it hasn't appeared. I think it was causing trouble. Use BLN Control app, works for me under Escapists kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Ah, I see.

I haven't been using TheEscapists' kernel for a while now since LED notification was native but will have no problems going back.

Back into the UV/OC game too. :)

nevermind im wrong
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericSYN:
Is anyone else having problems with the search button continuously spamming by itself at random times for about 20-30 seconds at a time? Build#17 happens with stock, Escapists, and Glitch kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] drawde40599:
after u root (just google one click root for your phone ) all u need to do is run rom manager app click flash clockwork recovery reboot into recovery hit reinstall packages 2 times and clockwork is installed no need for speed mod
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
the ROM needs to be installed from Clockworkmod recovery. You can use the speedmod kernel for this or use ROMManager to get clockworkmod recovery. Just make sure to read the instructions in the OP (Obviously :rolleyes:) and understand and know what you are doing..
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
anyone else's moboplayer not playing mkv's correbt......i.e.---no sound and lags every once in a while
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
Are you on stock kernel or Glitch's? I haven't encountered such a problem with Glitch's.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Nope. There was one guy who had that happen hack in November or so, I remember. I believe he realized it was a hardware issue. Just in case, flash to stock. Use it for a day or two.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
new nightly! =D hope this one is better.. :D keep up the good work devs..thank you..
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Score. Not much of a changelog but warrants a flashing lol. Hate that ADW is restored with every flash. Not a big deal at all. But yeah, OCD.

EDIT: Wait.... what happened to 18
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Are the brightness changes kernel level? Or ROM? Because I'm replacing the kernel anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Kernel. If you are using Escapist's - you are using the Nexus S driver with the slightly yellow tint but that goes down a lot more in brightness and now the stock uses that same tint for the low brightness levels as well (I couldn't make it work for the crisp white/bluish colors at low levels).
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Just wanted to mention something I noticed while at work last night. I did experience the same problems as before with Escapists kernel, so I reflashed #17, but I used the one I downloaded from one of the mirrors instead if the ROM Manager version I had initially used. I was a little surprised to find the Voodoo Sound icon in my notification bar when I plugged my headphones in.

I was just curious to know if this was a fluke or had Voodoo support been added to cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Voodoo sound app is now compatible with stock CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
I'm going to try this rom, could someone post there current settings, only if your getting at least

16 hr + a day from battery, if its not possible for me to get that then I won't bother, with moderate use, thanks
[Captivate Android Development] iakovl:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=captivatemtd

where did #18 gone to?
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
So far this latest one the battery is great. I have had very light use. But over night and some use this morning and last night and I still have about 80% left and I pulled it off the charger about 15 hours ago.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
I really don't get why people only ask about standby time, it's seems like a fairly useless metric. I get around 12 hours on the standard battery, but that is with 3.5 to 5 hours with the screen on. If you don't use it as heavily as I do, I don't see why you couldn't make it to 16.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
is that with the kernel that comes with the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
by just looking at the changelog... they did a lot on 17, maybe 17 is actually the 18 ... just saying

My sound is working, but having a hard tome getting it to play ultra smooth. Trying a 720p movie OC to 1.5 and 1.6GHz and still notice a little jumpyness to it :/
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
I continue to follow old habits and download the Nightly, turn off the phone, three-button boot into recovery, and install the Nightly from the zip card.

The upgrade seems to go fine, and the phone functions properly. Am I missing something not using RomMananger to install Nightlys?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Nope.. that method works just fine :)

Brightness

Looks like brightness is down further for real this time. I don't know (or think) if setting it to 1 is working, but I think I do notice a lower brightness of the screen.

Radio

I am unable to flash a radio of my choice... JL3 is not good in chicago area... need jk4. But when i flash the radio, my phone goes to airplane mode and no signal and doesnt come out of it... anyone else had this problem?:(
[Captivate Android Development] rivera151:
Radio partition has changed. Did you flash radio for new changed partition?
[Captivate Android Development] rivera151:
Bump

C'mon, there were legit questions at the end... :-D

And I have another one... If I restore a nandroid backup, is it the same as flashing the nightly I had when I I did the nandroid b/u? (ie I nadroid backup on nighly 17, flash 19, don't like 19, restore nandroid b/u, am I back on nighly 17?)
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
For question 2, you can just flash it over the last nightly, you don't have to wipe and start over.

Nandroid completely restores your phone to the point of the backup, so yeah, you'd be back on 17.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Can anybody tell me if escapists kernel helps battery over stock cm7?

I'm not looking to improve speed since cm7 is lightening fast,

BUT my battery is still getting pummeled when the phone is not in use.

Eg, does escapists wifi driver help conserve standby power?
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
is there a fix for the phone not powering off from the menu? Just keeps rebooting?

I did look through the threads someone else had the issue, but they just wrote that it fixed itself?? Is anyone else having this issue and is there a fix?
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Are you trying to do it with the phone plugged in? The phone can't charge when powered off on CM, so plugging it in powers it on.
[Captivate Android Development] smackdownn:
is there a way to get touchwiz like taskmanager in cyanogenmod?
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Not a big deal, but is anyone seeing their screen turn off immediately after bootup, requiring two power-button presses to turn it back on?
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
CM is not gone to/can't implement any touchwiz stuff. Your best bet is a third party app or something like that.

Now some taskmanager that has the same features, i don't know you just have to wait and pray.

I'm still on #17 but i don't remember ever having that problem.

Not sure how much it helps as i always run it over stock.

I get almost two days complete idle. With decent use i can still get through the day.

You can also UV it to squeeze out more battery, or try new modems

Platypus before it stopped had lots of tweaks and governors to help choose performance/battery.
[Captivate Android Development] thecoolestcow:
Force close issues...

Hey all,

So I installed Nightly #17 and everything keeps force closing. I can't open an app that uses the internet, and it keeps saying the Google Framework is crashing. Tried a nandroid restore to beforehand: it seems okay, but I have no service (Baseband: unknown). I also tried the "Fix Permissions" in CWM since that is supposed to solve FC issues. No luck. I tried #19 too, and the same problems happened.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it? My phone is pretty much unusable, and I can't figure out how to remedy it.

Thanks.

EDIT: After fixing permissions, only 2 apps were FC'ing. One was Swype. I uninstalled both, and everything seems to be OK, except News and Weather can't get my location.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Flash the nightly that your nandroid was for over the working nandroid. I had that issue going back, I don't think the radio partition reverts correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
If the report option shows up, click report then click preview. You should see at the bottom of the screen a stacktrace option. That might help to diagnose the error.

I had a similar situation and it was io error related so i cleared some space, moved some Apps to the sd and cleared the browser cache and that stopped the errors.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Wow! 2 days idle??

I lose 35-40% over 6 hours overnight (with GPS, wifi, and Bluetooth turned off)

What is it about escapists kernel that helps battery like that?
[Captivate Android Development] bluestevo:
So i updated to nightly #19, everything seemed fine, but then i started to play pandora, it would work for a few mins, then it would go in and out.... now its not making any sounds. ive missed calls, ive also tried to play Pandora and even MP3s on my phone and its soooooo low you cant hear it unless you have it to your ear and u can still hardly hear it.... any ideas? should i change the modems?

also is nightly #19 still CM7 or is it CM7.1, With all this change its got me lost... hah thanks for any help! cheers :D

also i was on modem jk4 but after i flashed it changed to jl3

Edit: seems as tho anytime u rotate your screen the sound will cut out.... then turning it upright it comes back a few secs later but still goes in and out... BUMMER... Guess im stuck till a fix :(
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
The high drain it's from your sync. Use the power control widget to turn sync off. Sync, even with radios off, checks if it can sync every 90 seconds with all sync apps. Turn it off and enjoy two days of life. Our just turn on airplane mode and it disables sync as well. I'm on day four, stock, butt I normally have sync and data disabled. I have a pc after all

Sent from something, somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
I wonder if cm can put a timer on syncing for example every x amount of hour
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
yup, the nandroid will restore your previous build. It's like flashing back to whatever you had before.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
If you use less widget. It help save battery life by alot

Great job with the latest nightly! No problem so far but a major improvement in my data speeds;) considering my locatation
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I keep not hearing SMS notification sounds, just silence in my pocket, but when I check my phone I have unread texts. Phone is acting up in terms of sound...

EDIT: Also, signal seems to be much better.
[Captivate Android Development] pamaguin:
Did you check your volume setting?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yes, all full. Tested, works. But a third of the time, it doesn't play at all.
[Captivate Android Development] bluestevo:
I've also been having the same problem.

Play music or something, and rotate your phone to rotate ur screen, see if that effects your sound at all?

I turned off Rotate and changed the Modem from JL3 back to JK4 which i had before updating,

now my sound goes in and out. Ive also checked my sound settings, and they are all at full settings.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I can play music and rotate the phone with autorotate on.. weird.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
God, I wish I knew what you people did with your phones. I have NEVER gotten beyond a day on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Almost forgot to ask, how is everybody's battery life on #19? My phone seems to be draining faster while idle than it did on 17. I know modems sometimes seem to have that effect, so I flashed from JV6 to JK4. Will see if that fixes it any.

Secondly, if anybody could give me a good suggestion on a Voodoo Sound kernel other than Escapists that's not bad on battery, I would appreciate it. Not sure why, but Escapists kernel actually slows down my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
How about the default one?
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Glitch is pretty much your only option right now. I too have issues with escapists kernel, but no lag so far with glitches.
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
I must be slow or something because I am trying to follow the "easy way" from the OP. I flashed back to stock, rooted, installed Rom Manager and Rom Manager Premium, flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery and clicked Download Rom - but there's no Cyanogen Mod Nighltlies in the list, I only have DesignGears Roms, Extras, MIUI.us and Google Apps. Did I do something stupid or is this not a valid method any longer?

Edit: Nevermind - I hadn't chosen Captivate (MTD) when I flashed CWM. Search is your friend
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Default kernel allows Voodoo sound without needing any premium app now - so that shouldn't be the reason you need to switch from it.

People with sound problems, pull a dmesg off your phone when you run into an issue so we can see what is going on.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Which ROM are u coming from? And which version of cwm recovery do you have currently on ur phone? Odds are that nightlies won't show up for you, in ROM manager, until AFTER you have flashed CM7.

Hope that's helpful ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
I spoke too soon - I was able to choose the nightlies but when I follow the rest of the OP --

Start with a rooted Eclair/Froyo running Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders (do not ask us how to do this).

Install ROMManager Premium.

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Captivate (MTD) (ignore the warning about not having an official, pick ClockworkMod 2.x).

Make sure you can reboot into ClockworkMod recovery from ROMManager. Reboot and get back into ROMManager Premium.

Choose download ROMs.

Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.

Check the Google Apps addon.

Check Backup current ROM!

Check wipe data, cache, dalvik cache.

Let ROMManager finish the installation.

The phone is now sitting there with my screen saying:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2

- reboot system now

- apply sdcard:update.zip

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- install zip from sdcard

- backup and restore

- mounts and storage

- advanced

- +++++Go Back+++++

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2

Waiting for SD Card to mount (20s)

SD Card mounted...

/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.

Now what did I do wrong?

EDIT: Never mind again! It really helps to read and FOLLOW the directions given.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks, I wasn't aware that it got voodoo support yet. I don't really have sound issues, I'm just addicted to voodoo quality sound. Now if Glitch has some improved battery performance I might still switch. Thanks

How are you changing your modem? because when i try to flash an other modem apart from stock, i am losing my network and my phone gets stuck in airplane mode.

BLN still not working in #19
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it isn't "not working", it's been full on removed and disabled. too many people complaining about it (and there was some slightly bad code causing a race issue which made the keys unusable without having to lock/unlock the phone first, and that just won't cut it).

if it ever makes a return, rest assured it would be mentioned.
[Captivate Android Development] brendanmurphy:
WoW really? That is gay BLN is one of the most useful features
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
< facepalm >

Maybe YOU can personally code it better and make it work correctly. Otherwise UR gay for complaining in such a whiny manner.

#justsayin
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
He said it doesn't work properly, that's why it was removed. You want BLN? Install a different kernel and use BLN app. That's what I do. Just don't be disrespectful to a dev, ESPECIALLY when they made a decision that's obviously for the best. That bug that kept the buttons from working was annoying and I am glad it is gone.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Sync can't be the culprit.

How is it that a Samsung rom can lose 2% overnight with sync on but CM7 loses 35-40%?

There must be something else going on to explain the battery drain.

Disabling sync also seems to disable gmail push which I sort of need.

Any other settings I may have overlooked?

How can i change my keyboard i normally use slideit but i dont have the option to change or enable it, its installed just wont start it up
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
You need to make sure you grab the new modems that will work for CM7 Kang 7.1 and #19. If you look for back a few pages for a post I put up with modems listed for cm#16 and older or CM7 7.1 Kang just grab the 7.1 versions and they will work with the #19 as well.

Ever since #17 (or Kang 7.1) the radio partition changed where it is located so we need the newer style.

[Captivate Android Development] z28james:
I find that my phone would randomly be either stuck at 1ghz, not able to sleep or both. More times than not the problem is a system app called "Media Storage". If you clear its application data, the phone snaps out of it. Apparently if you have some corrupt media file on your SD card, it hangs up this process. The real fix would be to find the jacked file but clearing the application data helps for the mean time.

Other times, there seem to be some oddities when the phone transitions from mobile data to wifi and if anything at all is trying to "sync" during that transition, it hangs up the "gapps" system process. Ive seen the market do this and gmail as well as google voice. It seems to be limited to google apps. Push exchange email/facebook for instance never seem to be effected.

[Captivate Android Development] bluestevo:
Just reposting so u dont hve to search back 50 pages.

Here are the modems, like they said, if ur on nightly #16 or under, you need to flash the CM7 Modems, And of you have the #17 nightly n up, or Kang kernal, you need to use the CM7.1 Modems.

Hope this helps... Cheers

I am running build 17 and I noticed this with this build as well. Just setting the input method from Language and Keyboard in Settings worked before but now you have to click on the cog on the standard android text input to make the switch.

Strange Error

I don't believe this is CyanogenMod's fault, but I can't be certain, so I'm sharing this here as I am using the latest nightly build (#19, just updated much earlier today).

Random apps have seem to gone corrupt and "uninstalled" themselves. No problem with SD-card (remounted), no issue with the launcher (restarted), they just disappeared. Trying to restore the apps via Tibu fails everytime, and reinstalling the apps brings up a dialog as if it were already installed, but fails to reinstall everytime. It's as if they're gone, but can never be reinstalled, and with no preference for market, amazon appstore, "3rd party", or even system apps being affected (uninstalled according to Tibu)... if any of those missing system apps are essential, I'm surprised it's even rebooting.

The last thing I remember doing before noticing this was installing Aporkalypse (free app of the day today!) and my Tasker running notification vanished. *shrugs*... I'm at a loss, and really see no other option but a factory/data reset and reinstalling the ROM, google apps, and starting from scratch.

If anyone seems to have this issue with though, I figured it would be nice to know (and for the devs to know) they're not alone.
[Captivate Android Development] Coolman4now:
- I have the same exact thing !!

- The solution though is to open "manage applications" and uninstall all the disappeared apps one by one from there and then restore then all by btach on TitaniumBackup.
