There are no "stable" nightlies - these are nightly builds. Only releases are stable - we haven't hit release yet. But the latest works best at the moment.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
Just confused now, are there no more update packages only FULL?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
It's all the same. If you are updating, it knows that and will update. If you are coming from Stock Samsung, it knows that too.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Apparently, it also knows how to make Netflix work without any user modifications to build.prop. Sneaky! Haha. I'm not sure which I'm more excited about... Netflix... working MMS again... or how frickin' easy this thing is to update now.
[Captivate Android Development] alphahere:
I have a small problem with rom manager. I cannot install from rom manager. I cannot even reboot into recovery with rom manager.

What happens is the original recovery comes up with the triangle and green android. I even tried a fresh install from 2.2 but still no luck.

I was able to install manually using cwm using the three buttons to get into cwm recovery. I have not seen this problem posted. I wonder what did I do wrong? Looks like the original recovery is still present with cwm. Is this possible?

I have rom manager premium and I tried the rom manager included with the rom and the rom manager from the market. Same result.

Anyway manual install works great and system is very stable with excellent battery life. Even getting gps locks in seconds.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
Oh I guess I gotta buy rom manager premium :o

The nighties are in the prem section now
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
You *can* just download them from the website. But yes, buy ROM Manager - koush is a big reason why we have CM7 official now.

Is there a screen capture feature built-into CM7? If not, best suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] jellysweep:
Just installed 5/19 #9 via rom manager premium. So far so good! Thanks for all your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
5/19 #9 fixes MMS as previously said. It also seems to have fixed the color temp a bit...can anyone else chime in on that?

Brightness levels seem not as gradient as before. Meaning auto brightness seems to err on the bright side.

Ill take it over not having MMS! :)
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I JUST installed CM7 for the first time yesterday...how does one go about upgrading? Or did you install a nightly? If so, should I wait for full releases? Sorry, new to this but MMS fixes seem important.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'd doesn't as far as I'm aware. I use screenshot. Free on market and works great.
[Captivate Android Development] alphahere:
Never saw that before sorry if it was posted already.

I will try it later with the next nightly but at least I can see the nightlies. Never saw that before.

THANKS!!!

instlaled build 5 earlier was bit unstable anyone tried it? hows 9?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
9 is working fine for everyone i know that's tried it.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
9 is working perfectly for me too
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
Thanks i tried 5 earlier this morning was laggy for me il give 9 a shot ^^
[Captivate Android Development] rcllcr:
What exactly is a "Nandroid backup"? It says to do this in the installation steps but no where does it say you must restore the so called "nandroid" backup.

Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
nandroid back up is kinda like titanium backup on cmw to my understanding. incase u want to restore u can just restore from cmw
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
it's a backup performed frim clockwork mod recovery or rom manager. The reason it doesn't tell you to restore is you're only doing it is so you can restore your old rom in the event that something goes wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] rcllcr:
but if we use titanium backup instead, will this lower the chances of a successful installation?
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Not really...

Nandroid is a complete snapshot of your entire system including all of your data and setting too.

And can only be restored in its entirety.(full Rom backup/restore)

Tibu is individual backups of system and user apps/settings.

And can be restored individually.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
nandroid is a full and complete backup.

it backs up your kernel, /system, /data, /cache, etc.

titanium backup will only backup/restore your /data apps
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Though you are mostly correct, you can restore individual partitions of a nandroid (ie, /data, /system).
[Captivate Android Development] rcllcr:
But must we run a nandroid backup for the flash to be a success?
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
I like how you don't even need Odin to flash this anymore. Brilliant.
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
btw anyone have the latest gapps apk? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Don't over think this....

Backups are for you.

It's good practice to always do a backup before flashing.

So you have an easy to access restore point.

Not required.

Just a good idea.

Same versions as the 0503 with a fix that prevents it from removing more apps than it replaces, got it from one of the xda htc forums and re-up'd. Enjoy ;)
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
thanks bro!! <3
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Happy to help, someone posted it on one of the sgs forums and it's worked well for me (google talk voice/video worked), glad to share.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no, but it's a good idea to do it in case the new build doesn't flash so you can restore to your last working state with just a single click.

http://goo-inside.me/gapps
[Captivate Android Development] rcllcr:
I know it is encouraged not to use any fancy methods to boot into recovery (including using the command in clockwork mod or the command in the power button options) but what about doing it through the AIO Captivate Toolbox?

It has an option where you click "reboot recovery" under their advanced options. Is this safe?

I only ask, because the three button combo does not work on my captivate.

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Since I am on 05/15 still not the 05/16 that had the ROM Manager support.

Do I have to download the latest upgrade first and flash via CWR like we done before before I can start flashing from Rom Manager?
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Your question was a little confusing to me, but I went from the 5/15 update and installed the 5/16 update inside ROM Manager itself.

So I don't think the 5/16 build is required to use ROM Manager since I used it in 5/15.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
you can flash the 3-button fix ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I'm really sorry for asking this:

Do the "cm_captivatemtd_full-9.zip" wipe data or can they be flashed just like old nightlies? I'm on 5/15 right now, would I need to TiBu, instlal, then restore apps?

Also I need to buy ROM Manager Premium soon for easy access to the nightlies...
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
They do do a wipe.. Even though I have RM premium and checked the gapps box- It installed gapps but i had to go through the set-up again like the first time installing GApps. All my apps had to redownload and install. Launcher Pro makes setting up the phone easier, but I still had to redo all my CM settings.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
install latest nightly from download.cyanogenmod.com

they're just like a nightly. they will only wipe data from stock.
[Captivate Android Development] rcllcr:
I have actually tried this and it bricked my phone. I had to use a jig to get into download mode!
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Alright guys.... been lurking here for a while. Finally flashed my friend's cap from cog 4.x to cm7 #9. Everything went extremely well.

I did a 3-button to recovery (cw 2514) and flashed #9 manually from there... disco!

After reboot, switched to cw 3.x and then manually flashed 3/07 gapps. After restoring apps and stuff with tb, i manually flashed the 5/07 gapps (another guy posted a link to what I believe is the same gapps somewhere over the last page or so).

Life is good! Nice work fellas!!!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
:eek: I'm one of the fortunate ones to have the 3-button. But I think a proper install of the fix is to go back to stock 2.1 without the fix implemented... then odin the stock 3-button. I don't really know, never had to do it. What do you need the 3-button for? It's not needed for install anymore, and once on CM reboot recovery works.
[Captivate Android Development] yguns76:
I flashed the 3 button fix and it worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I do have rom manager premium but I'd downloaded it via rom manager and went into sdcard/clockworkmod folder with root explorer and found where it was downloaded. Copied it from there onto the sdcard. Went into cwm and flashed it through there after ONLY clearing cache. I did not lose gapps or any of my apps and it did jot work like a wipe version this way.

Just now I even got more daring...haha.. and flashed the Escapist 5.3 kernel over the 0519 #9 and so far it is working fine. Tested the Netflix app without modifying the build.prop and it is still working great. I do not have ANY loser iCrap friends to see if I lost the mms fix though. So far so good at 1.55Ghz

I am still having GPS issues. Connecting is taking nearly forever, and when it does get a fix, it loses it shortly and it's horrible.

What modem are you guys using. (Anyone with great GPS)

Also is there angrygps or lbstestmode or whatever similar app installed on this build?
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Good information for all those that like gps but don't use data constantly, since it's mostly the google apps that use gps all the time, turning data off, but leaving gps on doesn't drain as much battery, in fact gps uses zero percent. I use sygic gps, and before that navdroid, and the extra 24 dollars was WORTH it for sygic. Just some tips.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Data and gps hate each other on our phones. Use a non data gps application like sygic or navdroid. Sygic is recommended. But be prepared, sygic comes with a one week trial and navdroid does not. Also you will need wifi to download the app core and map packages. Sygic is four times the cost, but worth it.
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
Is there an app like memo pad or to show % on batery life?

Ah nvm jist found it in cynogenmod lol!! Ugh now o forgot how to revert from the red powersaving backlighst loool
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:

[Captivate Android Development] ClaPik:
hi guys how can i get to download mode? i can't do it though...can't use the adb reboot download either...
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
You can try rebooting into recovery and choosing reboot download in there.
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
you're supposed to power off your phone, take battery out, put it back in, then hold both volume buttons and plug your phone in. is this what you've tried?
[Captivate Android Development] ClaPik:
doesn't work...?

Yea the phone just boot normally...

[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
I did a nandroid back up to 5/15 nightly because I wanted my gps back. So if I update to cmcaptivate mtd full, will it update or do a whole wipe?
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
Having the phone reboot gives the loop error phone.android

Com has stop working etc etc right when u boot.up! Had to reflash wipe etc etc but right after a reboot it appears again. Guess I'll go back to cognition lol
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Toodles. You did something wrong to make that happen, and you'll be downgrading. But, by all means, don't look back.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
Had this happen to me before between nightlies. Do a factory reset.
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
I figured out the problem was some app lol that was installed just slowly uninstalled apps that we're restored.from tibi solved.my problem :)
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
its fixed on latest nightly
[Captivate Android Development] shawn.ferris:
I was on 5/15 and installed the latest nightly through rom manager last night and had no issues
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Is #10 likely going to be a "tested" build? Before I flash #9, I noticed a lot of post #9 fixes, notably for the Captivate is "lower auto brightness levels." If #10 will be tested and includes a lower auto brightness level fix, I'll just hold off a little while for #10. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
Flash #9. It is so smooth and is actually running loads better than 5/15 was for me. The auto brightness is a little wonky, but I'm just controlling mine manually for now and it's working great.

What JP9 modem are you guys using. My performance with JK4 has not been that good either.

So we arenot able to runthe other kernels available on xDA that were previously able to to run on cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Thanks. I went ahead and installed #9 and created custom Auto backlight values to match the "new" values that will be in #10. I'll have to see if I like them, or if I want to tweak a little. The values that will be in #10 can be found here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#patc...rameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml

I am running the Escapist kernel 5.3 over the 0519 nightly. I did it for testing but so far I have found no issues. I cannot test the mms fix to see if that is lost since I have NO friends with an iCrap phone. But Netflix worked without having to change my build prop still. Everything else seems to be working fine.

[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
so if i had to flash back to stock, what would i install for the initial....just the build #9?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I can't believe how often this question is asked. The answer is still the same.

The modems that work best on this ROM are the ones that you can download from the teamhacksung sourceforge site.

What you want to know is what modem will work best on your phone, and only you can find out the answer to that. It depends on how you use your phone, where you live and/or work, and possibly on the phone itself. Try each modem until you find one you are happy with.
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
Will this rom still work with 3.0 bootloaders? or should i odin back?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no GPS on the escapist's kernel unelss that's been fixed

yes

3.0 bootloaders? I think you mean 2.3 and no they won't work. go back to stock JF6 or anything with bootloaders and a full firmware/repartition.
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
Fair enough. Just dled ll 9 from the sourceforge. I will just flash them about and see whats up.

Just last night, the one that comes with the build #9 of Cm7 lost all service for me in an area where it should not. It could not regain it until I left the general area. (I was picking up pizza).

Was annoying, and I didn't have any modems to flash. Prehaps I'll go back to that area and try flashing other modems see which grabs a connection.
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
wooops! thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] TheDude:
So am I the only one that experiences a problem when transitioning from speaker to handset having made volume changes? On other roms when you adjust speaker phone volume the system indicates speaker volume and handset volume accordingly as if there are 2 settings (and bt volume.) On cm it appears speaker phone and handset are grouped together and it causes all sorts of problems. I may have already lost some of my hearing in my left ear... I like to hear. Please advise.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
JL3 comes with the initial install and should work reasonably well for at least picking up a signal including AT&T's 3G bands. There may be other modems that work better for you, but no signal at all may be caused by another problem (perhaps a bad modem flash, etc). Also, if you lost signal in a specific area, it could have been due to a problem on AT&T's side.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
advise: turn down the volume before plugging in your headphones.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Sorry for the confusion. User RockRatt posted having success with another kernel. The 3rd sentence in the OP says "It runs on MTD/yaffs2 (like Nexus One) which means you'll not able to flash any kernel or run any other filesystem you want. Use it as it is.":eek:

So you see where the confusion comes from. I know you guys don't support other kernels but in the OP before the merge it actually stated you could use another kernel if you wanted, now it states you cannot...(but apparently you can)

So whats the word? Obviously we can do whatever we want to our phone to see what will work. I guess my question is: Is there a reason why that was put in the OP other than outside kernels not being supported by the team?
[Captivate Android Development] jamina1:
So here's a question - can you make Tasker turn off data when these programs are running? I'm curious now because my GPS performance SUCKS compared to my friend's Vibrant
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
we don't keep track of custom kernels, we have no idea if they're up to date, so our default suggestion is "don't use it."
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
I just feel ike the GPS performance with CM7 is quite bad. It was nearly perfect when I was running Continuum.
[Captivate Android Development] TheDude:
Either this is your attempt at humor or you can't read.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
thanks 10 char
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I thought it was funny. You did ask for advice...

If you don't like the way the volume controls in CM works, that is an issue you need to bring up with the teamdouche as it is not Captivate specific. Your best bet is to submit a feature request and hope it is accepted. Aside from that, you can always go back to Samsung ROMs if you like their volume controls better.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
That may be the case, but I also don't really care for the camera application. Not only does it not have the anti-shake, but it only has one or two zooms (when the volume buttons started working). I tried another camera app that somebody recommended, but it turned out to be even worse.
[Captivate Android Development] TheDude:
Thanks for the suggestions. Per my post all I was asking for was confirmation that this issue existed on other device's not for a solution. But as expected I get a bunch of smart ass responses such as yours that waste time, space, and accomplish nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Like I said, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the sammy camera app, but it is a lot better than it was before:rolleyes: That was the question you asked wasn't it?
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Hahaa, it seems no1 cares. Try nostalgia 1.I assure u that u will be pleased.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Oops. Forgot about that. I know that was something before and he was gonna look into it. I was just trying to comment that IF a Dev makes a kernel compatible with the newest nightlies then it should be okay to still use them. Am I wrong here? I did read the OP and did not think that applied to kernels made specifically for new nightlies and such. Please correct me if I am wrong.

GPS worked great this week!

I just got back from a trip to Indianapolis where I had to use only my Captivate as a GPS so my wife could keep the Garmin in VA. I have to say, it was a BIG surprise how well it tracked and kept up with the navigation. Average speed was about 60 mph (80 mph was the high). I lost it twice, but it was really cloudy and came back in about 10-20 seconds. I was using the 05152001 nightly and just downloaded the "full-9" with the intent to flash tonight. I enjoyed OC/UV'ing the phone along with Voodoo color and sound, but I prefer to know where I'm at in large cities. :)

Keep up the great work!
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
If you use the zoom from the camera app itself (a little popular menu will come up and you can slide it from the 1-4 zoom and in between. I understand where you are coming from with the camera but for ME the options in cm outweigh the loss of some functionality. Remember this is a work in progress and I have seen it come a LONG WAY and am pleased. I have two phones and I personally prefer CM7 as my daily driver over my other phone which is running the Continuum gingerbread. It also is a work in progress and does have its own share of issues, I know because I have kept up with BOTH threads since the beginning of both. Both are so good I do not see myself EVER going back to froyo ever. Just my preference.

1) Touching the screen doesn't light up the softkeys.

I used to use "keep the lights on" for it, but doesn't work with CM7.

2) Is BLN working on here? I ask because it's actually working on my phone, but every once in a while the softkeys will be un responsive until I turn off the screen and back on. (Which used to happen a while back when bln was being implemented)
