CM7 does run really fast, I totally agree with you. However, I have had the crappiest battery life running several iterations of CM7 (RC1, nightlies), and I was only getting about 8 hours of battery life. Virtuous gives me 18-24 hours of battery life running the Standard kernel at 1.0 GHz (with decent usage). I'm not bashing CM7 as I've been a long-time user of Cyanogen ROMs, I just need a ROM that gives me good performance with great battery life.
[Captivate General] richb500:
Ever since my 2.2 stock update my gallery shows duplicate images, then triplicate and now 4 copies of each.

I verified that I only have 1 copy of each one (all stored on my external sd card).

Has anyone else experienced this?

Does anyone know how to reset the Gallery cache (clearing it via settings-manage apps does nothing)?
[Captivate General] bb6vtec:
I don't have this issue but I do not have external SD in my Captivate.

Since no one is replying I'm assuming you may have an unique issue here but I would connect the Captivate to your PC and browse to remove the pictures if they are truly duplicate and reboot your phone to see if the issue will resolve after that.

Or remove your external SD, reboot your phone to see if all pictures goes away or 3 copies remains in your Internal SD.

Just my 2 cents.
[Captivate General] cbasse:
I had this problem first with my music, then with my photos. I've fixed the problem for my music files showing as duplicates. All I did was hook up to my PC, transfer the music folder off my phone, let the media scanner do its thing, then I transferred them back onto the phone. That did the trick. I haven't had time to try this with my photos yet, but I am hopeful that it works the same...

Hope this helps!
[Captivate General] bb6vtec:
This remind me that I did had similar issue right after my phone boot up from Froyo update. But everything went back to normal after 2 other reboot.

So, first self reboot after Froyo updated. System lag like crazy. Let it run about 30 minutes and media scan completed.

Second reboot, Runs a bit better but still sort of laggy and battery done to 35% after just 2 1/2 hour of usage. Plug in to my laptop's USB to charge and as soon as prompt to run kies or mass media come up my phone went blank.

Third reboot. Wait 15 minutes until Media scan is completed. Plug into my USB port and charge with my laptop at work. No more issue found other then battery sucks big time for this day.

Everything back to normal and battery is back to normal again the next day.
[Captivate General] richb500:
One thing I should mention, which I think is triggering the bug is that I have my camera set to save on the external card. I'm not sure if this is the problem, but it appears that Froyo keeps a gallery cache on the internal and external card. Perhaps the info is getting duplicated in both files.

I moved all images off to my PC, then disconnected from the PC. Going into the Gallery, I still saw placeholders for all of the images - but they were black (no image to display).

I found that on each sd card (internal and external), there is a DCIM folder that contains a .thumbnails folder. Inside of this folder is a THUMBDATAxxxxx file. I had to delete both of these files to clear out the Gallery placeholders. I then copied the images back to the external card. Both DCIM THUMBDATAxxxx files were recreated. My images are no longer duplicated. We'll see if the problem reappears.

Does anyone else have their camera set to "Memory Card" Storage?

Thanks,

Rich
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
Fix for this is easy. Open sgs tools 4.5(I think that's the most recent) go to apply scripts>clean_thumb_db.txt then reboot. Issue solved. I'm not sure what causes this but its happened to me many times and that is the easiest fix.
[Captivate General] Bish0p34:
Is there any other way of doing this? Every time I run that script it deletes all my custom ringtones from my contacts, my custom sms tones from my handcent conversations, and all of my playlists from the media player....
[Captivate General] richb500:
You're not missing anything. The script didn't remove the duplicate images for me.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
The easiest way I've dealt with this is go to manage applications and delete data in the media storage app. Problem is it does do away with customized ringtones, playlists..so have to rebuild that
[Captivate General] Pariah86:
thumbnails

I experienced the same problem with pictures in the gallery, I checked my folders and did not have any duplicates. After reading some of your posts and poking around I decided to try resetting the gallery app from the manage applications menu with no success. I then tried deleting the contents of .thumbnails files on the internal and external sd cards (in the DCIM directory). I experienced no loss of data as far as i can tell but the duplicates did disappear. I went from 6 copies to a single image. I rebooted the phone 3 times and the images did not duplicate in the gallery but the .thumbnails directory was repopulated. I powered down the phone and removed my external sd card, all external pictures disappeared from gallery. I reinstalled the card with the phone powered on and presto 6 copies of all external sd card images! I'm not sure why this is occurring but I just deleted the .thumbnails directory contents again and hope that the problem does not recur as long as i don't remove my external card. Hope this helps!
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I would just delete media storage and move on. You may have to re-do ringtones tho..and playlists
[Captivate General] hamstahs:
Deleting "media storage" did not work for me. What I did was similar to Rich (I also have mine set to store to the external SD) -

Removed all photos from SD card. When I remounted the card, I noticed I was now down to 2 copies of each photo rather than 3.

Next step: Applications > My Files. Deleted the entire DCIM folder.

Now I'm down to 1 copy of each photo.

Applications > My Files > external_sd. Once again, deleted the entire DCIM folder (loading the sd card on my computer, the thumbnails dir wasn't even showing up, as I'd deleted it... sneaky little thing!).

Hey, look, no pictures!

Recreated DCIM folder on my SD card (I did all of this by unmounting/removing the card and using a card reader on my PC - not sure if it would have worked using the cable-PC connect, as I don't have my cable on me), moved all my photos back in... and now I have my photos, only one copy of each. Hopefully this doesn't reoccur or the bug gets fixed, as that was quite a pain!
[Captivate General] Bish0p34:
I had this problem as well, and it annoyed the **** out of me. No matter how many times I removed the external card and did the scanner trick, they kept coming back. I used to run the SGSTools script, but got tired of redoing all my ringtones every day. I even deleted the thumbnails folders over and pver again, but they still kept coming back.

The only thing I found works long term was to give in and keep the pics on the internal memory. It seems like Froyo can't accept having them on the external card for me.
[Captivate General] infaas:
I had the exact same issue, 36 images virtually duplicated to 360. Possible cause could be haste when phone is scanning the sd card or force quitting when running the application or messing around while the phone is connected to pc.

I was able to fix the issue by copying the Dcim folder to my pc > then deleting the original one on the phone > and then making moving it back to the phone. Once done let it finish the scan and then go to the gallery.
[Captivate General] CHRISDISC:
RESOLVED: Duplicate thumbs in Samsung Captivate

Just delete all the files in "sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache/hires-image-cache" directory. Then delete all the files in

"com.cooliris.media/cache/local-album-cache" which includes any "index" files and "chunk_##" and delete files in "local-image-thumbs". Disconnect phone from computer and let the phone do the media scan, your pictures will return to single again.

This happens when your phone does a media scan after connecting to a computer as a mass storage device and you change data in the parent directories that you have picture, video and sometimes music media. Any questions or concerns you can also contact me via cmwhitson.ny@gmail.com and your appraise are also welcome. Enjoy
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quakefl:
So I just bought an almost brand new Captivate from a friend 2 days ago. I managed to upgrade it to Froyo via Kies, root it, and unlock it. Then I realized 2 problems:

1. Home button was acting like a second Back button

2. When Auto Rotation is on, except Home every other screen is on lanscape view no matter how I hold the phone. When it's off, everything's vertical.

I searched for solutions the web and came across some post (I read so many posts that I can't even find it now) with "JP3.rooted.insecure.clockworkmod" that was supposed to fix the problems. The zip file contains 5 files:

512.pit

I9000XXJP3-CSC

I9000XXJP3-MODEM

I9000XXJP3-PDA.rooted.insecure.clockworkmod

odin3.v1.0

I used odin3 v1.3 since I had previously downloaded. I was stupid enough to hit start with only I9000XXJP3-PDA.rooted.insecure.clockworkmod selected for PDA and left everything else out. After everything was finished and the phone tried to boot up, it asked me for options of LauncherPro(I installed before) or regular home so I selected LauncherPro and Do Not Show Me Again. Then it gave me the error messege:

Sorry!

The application LauncherPro (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again..

If I click Force Close or ignore it, it'll go away for a few seconds, vibrate, pause, vibrate 3 times and th same thing again. Every now and then home wallpaper will show with the the buttons showing at the very button like normal, but I couldn't click on any of them and soon it would go into the same loop again.

Although I can get it to download mode at boot, the computer is not detecting the phone at all (it did with no problem before). I'm pretty new to all this and just starting to learn about everything. I've been sitting here for hours for this problem and I don't know what to do. Anyone has any idea? Thanks a lot.

Update: I've fixed it. Thanks.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] myth999:
If an official rom needs to update a kernel version. The SEUS shall update it accordingly.

And if any custom rom needs specific kernel or baseband then the DEV shall provide it.

So nothin to worry about

[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
Hi there,my friend has a uncle and I ask if he can buy the atrix for new and send me.

so he it's in spring , he went to att store and ask for atrix off contract and the executive say there is no phone only because he hasn't an account on att and offer 300 us in contract I was like wtf.

So where I can buy atrix cheap? Seems best buy and others are 600 us, will be nice having atrix for 500 so, any recommendations? Or what he can say in att store ?

Thanks in advance

[Atrix 4G General] Ceverson70:
Order it online for 500 on att
[Atrix 4G General] rajeshr:
Off-contract pricing is still meant for AT&T customers and that is why it is $499. What you want is a hardware only price, which is $599. Some AT&T stores will sell you the phone at a hardware-only price ($599), others will only sell to AT&T customers.

Your best bet is go to Best Buy and pick one up. Now, you could also get lucky and find a store willing to sell you the phone at an off-contract price but I think that would be rare.
[Atrix 4G General] rajeshr:
Do you have a link for this? All I see online at the AT&T store is the $199 price with a contract.
[Atrix 4G General] fincan:
I got mine on AT&T off contract at $499, and I did not even give them my account, phone no. etc.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
why do you keep asking this? you know already that the atrix is 500$ off contract to at&t customers. since you and i aren't at&t customers, the cheapest as of right now is 600$ via amazon.

i'm waiting for mine friday at the earliest or next week (carnival holiday monday and tuesday)

phone: 600$

shipping to venezuela: 35$

unlock code: 20$
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
im asking not online, because i have a friend there so its a waste order online when someone can buy it from 500 in att store just need maybe a friend with att and just buy it with no contract, you can buy it online perhaps, some of us know people in usa that can get it cheaper
[Atrix 4G General] resin99:
I had some issues with this but finally got a best buy to price match at&t at 499.
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
Amazon for 599 (as i did, im in canada)

or Bestbuy.com
[Atrix 4G General] tekonus:
Apparently not, if you can't buy it for $500 without an AT&T plan. If you want it with no questions asked, it's $600 right now. That is all he was trying to say.
[Atrix 4G General] roadmenace49:
How did you get BestBuy to price match the $499 AT&T off contract price?

Which store? How loud did you yell?

Bought my Atrix last night. They told me they would only match prices if I had a paper AD and that a website listing would not be sufficient. I'm an AT&T customer not due for upgrade til later this year. So got stuck with the off contract pricing. Wanted the $499 AT&T price but paid the $599 price at BestBuy so I could use my BB card.
[Atrix 4G General] newter55:
wowzer....you paid an extra hundo to use your card at best buy :/
[Atrix 4G General] jalshah05:
Do u have 4g network if you unlocked it?
[Atrix 4G General] tekonus:
Yeah, really. What was the logic in that? The 18 month 0% financing? If it was just for the reward zone points, I'm sorry but that extra $100 won't even get you an extra $5 reward zone coupon. :p
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
well i ask my uncle on United states and At&t refuse sell :S and the a friend of him went as at&t customer and say only after one month of contract :S

so i willtry do this: but phone on contract($200) the after 3 days terminate contract ETF AFAIK its $325 so i hope i can get it for $525 us so any thoughs??? thanks :D
[Atrix 4G General] nucentury08:
The trick is to just sign up for a pre paid account or by a 15$ go account that will make you a att customer by default that's what I did paid 499$ off contract.
[Atrix 4G General] roadmenace49:
Went back to a different BB over the weekend, got the $499 price match no problem.

They called a local AT&T Corporate Store to verify the price and available stock.

Once that was established, they credited my account.

What is this dump? The command your using is all wrong. What's not working with the UI?
[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
You need to put the NookColorUMS-blah.apk in the /system/app folder on your nook. Replace "-blah" with the rest of the file name. I forget what it is exactly. Also, these are showing as .cmd files. That is incorrect. The file from the OP should be a .apk file.

Since it looks like you have adb working you might try this.

Eject your Nook and on the Nook go to the program browser. You should see NookColorUMS, load it. Use the graphical interface to mount SD partition (4) on lun0. Plug your NC into your PC and you should now have the SDcard partition mounted.

[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Note that, since everyone on Nexus S is presumably running at least Android 2.3, the vulnerability those apps exploited is already patched, rendering the malicious code ineffective. It's only people with older OS versions that need to be concerned. Yet another argument for taking responsibility for software updates out of the hands of manufacturers and carriers.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
Definitely agree with that
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
So, fragmentation actually helps some of us ;)

Google needs to fix this and adopt a similar process like Apple does. I try to be careful when downloading stuff, but there are many, many people out there who are not tech savy and this can be a large problem down the line. Piracy is another issue they need to fix. Has Google ever found a way to stop people from downloading an app, backing it up to SD card or PC, and then requesting a refund? If they haven't, they need to immediately.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
there's something along the line in regards to DEV protection about that.

It basically lets you only refund it once! for the lifetime of your Google account

so any app that you refunded once, you will not be able to refund it again the second time

which basically will prevent you from ever upgrading to a new version, even if you did rip them off once.

there are updates to your installed google apps like once a week, or once a day depending on the developers

the worse ones EA for example are aprox once a month upgrades

it's extremely annoying to not be able to update the apps, you always get annoyed about new apps alerts if you don't update.

so i always make sure all my apps are legit, so that i can use the UPDATE ALL button without having to manually update each app independently
