Sure it worked for others, as it did you, but I couldn't get into the Market to get it (couldn't flash gapps), so I "obtained" Kernal Manager Pro from Google... needless to say that did not work for me (some error with not having enough space upon flashing the kernal). Upon rebooting, it just sat on the AT&T screen cause it corrupted the current kernal. After a short episode of freaking out :eek:, I got it into download mode with the semi-bricked method and one-click odin'd it. Just got back into CM7 #20 and currently restoring my nandroid of #23 :). Thank you very much for the advice though. Didn't know the flashing CyanogenMod was easier than when I initially did it. Feel kind of silly going the KMPro route now.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
:D thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
A funny thing just happened....I installed nightly #24 and all my google accounts disappeared ! and when I try to add new account I am not getting google accounts as an option?? should I re-install gapps??
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Yup
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
thanks for your replay...but I already started over by going back to stock...before I tried formatting data, datadata, cache and system but it never worked and now in CWM it is saying waiting for sdcard to mount .....thats all! what is causing this?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Apparently #24 won't mount SD cards. Key is to flash another kernel, like Escapists or Glitch. Then #24 works.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
lol.....and I went to stock 3 time :/ BTW thanks for your reply!
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Right....there's clearly nothing ironic about an Android phone needing to be "disconnected" from Google in order to have acceptable battery life. ;)

I'm not suggesting that anyone not turn off sync. I merely object to the perceived NEED to turn off sync. It's a bit antithetical to the concept of these phones.

Fortunately...I think we all can expect to see battery life improve, over time, with CM. That's the beauty of it all.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I think all custom ROMs should have an irony sticker on them :/ I have good battery life with sync on, I never turn it off. Also, Samsung ROMs often get beast life.

[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
do you have a ext 4 kernel already? Hell no don't flash back to 2.1 then you'd def need to add in a ext 4 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no, you would need to flash the kernel, tun.ko, cifs.ko, and bcm4329.ko through CWM

cyangoenmod does not touch bootloader

you must supply valid ttf files, the best app to try it with is font changer in the market (nandroid beforehand)

settings, cyanogenmod settings, interface, power widgets

you can start with anything that's all ext4 (hence flashing the speedmod kernel)
[Captivate Android Development] laz0r:
Thanks, found it in interface > notification power widget > widget buttons
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
English please :) Whats a jig?
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Well your going to hope you can get back into download mode...

Pull battery plug. Have oneclick restore open. Plug in usb cord while holding volume up/down both till it shows you in download mode then click restore. If you can't get into download mode...you may need a jtag!
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Jig is the thingy you make with 3 100kohm resistors. Touch it to 2 pins on the USB port to force it into download mode. Sounds like you don't have button recovery/download.

Actually though, try some other options first.

Pull battery, put battery back in, with USB connect to computer, plug usb into phone. Should also be instant download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Kaik really? You would need to flash the kernel, tun.ko, cifs.ko, and bcm4329.ko through CWM. Yikes sorry haven't had to go back only assumed you could one click restore back. I'll delete my advice then...
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Mine did the same thing, just keep trying the 3 button combo and it will work. Try different timing like when the i896 screen first appears or other variations. I think I let mine go to my at&t screen like 3 times and then let go of the power button and it worked.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Go back to CM7 (teamhacksung really) kernel requires CWM, kernel, tun.ko, bcm4329.ko etc. Going back to Froyo/Eclair requires Odin one-click.
[Captivate Android Development] demonte21:
If you phone still boot, personnaly, I would try to go in download mode and flash back to stock and retry everything... I might have miss something, but the jig might not be necessary at this point.

1- Use Odin 1 click,

2- Remove your battery, Sim card, SDcard.

3- put your battery back in, push both Volume key (+ / -) and keep them pressed!

4- Plug your USB cable, and have the Odin 1 click program already open before plugin your cable.

5- Press start to flash back to stock.

6- Install Firefly Rom

7- Install CM7 !

I also have an i-896, and Recovery mode work with the 3 button combo, (Press and hold both volume key, and the power Key) about 1-2 second after you get the first image, release power, and keep both volume key pressed.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
He was talking about just changing kernel not flashing back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
I can get to download mode - so I guess I do a 1 click restore and then try the process again? Can't get to recovery even after flashing the kernel again.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
so put those files and make a cwm flashable zip? where can I find the files?

nevermind I have them alright I think I got it
[Captivate Android Development] amarpatel:
so I downloaded the font changer, where can I get some good ttf fonts? is there an app that can download them directly?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
dafont.com has some good free fonts (all legal) and places to license/purchase other fonts
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Hey! OMG I just thought about this but does this have the normalized Bluetooth stack that allows for usage of Wii Controllers to control emulators?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it implements the standard linux bluez stack, so it should work, but no promises. and if it doesn't today, it will eventually.
[Captivate Android Development] Breakin' Ranh:
Just curious, has anyone else been getting their external SD card removed and then asked to insert new one message, and then when reinserting it, it says damaged sd card?
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
Is it me or do DivX videos not play?
[Captivate Android Development] sturgeon123456:
Quick question,

If you have speedmod kernel but have not manually converted to ext4 through recovery, when installing this CM7 does it convert for you?

[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
So to those with the idea of sync off confusing them, you paid two hundred dollars for a luxury, and made the luxury not work the way you want it to by having to turn off sync. So what amount of money did you party for the luxury of owning a pc? If you want battery life, don't look here unless YOU know how to stretch your battery. WE only know howe to stretch OUR batteries, not yours. I founds out the sync engine kills battery life, so I disabled it as did many others. Gps doesn't tasker up much battery cause I don't use it, so I leave it on, do I can when I need too since I don't have any apps requiring it that aren't synced. O have either wifi or data, not both, so it only had one binary modem on at a time, not two, increasing my battery life. So now to everyone, how did you make your battery life improve?

[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Some of us use these devices as our work phones, rather than being blackberry sheep. argue all you want about the risk of flashing cm7 on a device with such a high importance; bottom line is turning off sync completely defeats the purpose of a true smart phone for a rather large subset of users.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Guys, turning off sync was just a suggestion O.o (wasn't even mine!). Chill out, no one is saying you SHOULD. I don't, ever. So don't go crazy over one little thing.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Totally agree....

I just thought my analogy deserved more credit :D

(maybe it was stupid, though)
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
It wasn't totally accurate, but I wasn't referring to you as you didn't totally flame. You were more the guy in the corner with a cigar throwing out something crazy.
[Captivate Android Development] bluestevo:
Thanks everyone for the help. Flashed glitch kernal and it restored SD mount

Cheers!!
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
My solution: I stopped checking my battery level every 2 minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I found a simple way to make my battery life THAT much better. I turned off battery percentage. I just see a graphical representation of the battery. It looks better in CM7 (I hate the look of the % battery, it's not well designed), and it just gives me peace of mind. If I need to check battery, I keep the percentage on my lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Yup... status bar batt % is generally believed to drain battery on pretty much every cm7 device.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Then don't turn it off, simply find and uninstall apps you don't use that sync (most games, the market, gtalk, weather clients, clocks, galleries, any paid apps, the android market, etc). Stock, unmodified, cm7 has good life and meets your daily smartphone needs. Who needs games, apps, our distractions on a business phone? Cm7 has good life. The modified versions of cm7 most of us run does not.

If you need it for business, it must run, and it must be a smartphone, why are you modifying and playing with it? The stock firmware lasts a long time and works well. So why are you on cm7? Because you turned your smart phone into a toy. After all, if it works, why fix it? Cm7 nightlies are not stable. It comes wroth a huge disclaimer. If I'm using something for work, it better be stable and be able to be used when I need it.

If you flash cm7, why do you still claim it is a smart phone? It is now a smart capable cm7 device. A smart phone comes from a factory smart. Changing it makes it no longer a smart phone.

Also, why are people saying so much about a suggestion? Someone asked how to improve battery life, so I suggested disabled the sync kernel, which wakes the cpu. A suggestion does not have to be followed. So I don't see why people say it defeats the purpose of the device. Flashing a custom firmware already did that.

And it was originally my suggestion haloruler. Looking into it, I should be able to get 24 hours screen time easily, and 10 days standby. Course that means no phone features, just a pda.

I guess bottom line, if you need a work phone that is a smart phone, why are you using something that says, upfront might I add, may break device (read: make it function in an unacceptable (read: low battery life) way)? And making goldfish unsafe is never good.

[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
It's a scheduled sync app that runs in the background, and constantly updates. It prevents the phone from slowing itself to conserve battery. Why people ever want a battery percent that updates minutes apart instead of hours apart (allowing the cpu to rest) boggles my mind. Btw, day four of no charge, 36% left, 8 hours of screen time. Granted I uninstalled 200appsi haven't used lately. I'm thinking of taking my toy and turning it into a smartphone again by flashing cm7 without gapps, and using a tibu of the apps I want. You know, for five days life.

Not seeing carrier tag for 3G Microcell

Has anyone else with a 3G Microcell noticed that the carrier tag now only says "AT&T" and not "AT&T Microcell"? I'm running build 24.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
So cm makes it a not smart phone??? Are you on crack??
[Captivate Android Development] rivera151:
Well, I was just posting the sync fix 'cause someone mentioned there was a loop glitch that made the sync drain battery. But really, I only need the phone connected to sync when I'm idle, not while driving, not while working, so I can do without during that time, and it works great. And sometimes, when I do turn the sync on, the sync icon comes up and stays on unless I reboot, causing MAJOR visible drain, which makes me think these push notifications are still buggy. I thought that could be of interest here, and decided to post my result to help devs. Don't know if it will help or if they care since it looks like an upstream issue, but doesn't hurt to post.
[Captivate Android Development] ballz0iron:
Son, you just went full retard.
[Captivate Android Development] rivera151:
BTW. I haven't been able to look at the teamdouche nightlies site since yesterday. Is it down? Did I miss something?
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
I just downloaded #25 from the site, it should be ok now.

On another NOTE....

Stop all this silliness, over wheather its a smartphone or not!! How pathetic! Everyone uses the phone in different ways, if someone turns off sync, then who gives a flying f**k thats there choice, if you dont like that there may be things you have to sacrifice to save battery, then f*#k off. Guess what this isnt a stable build yet, its being worked on, Daily!

Phones are only as smart as the people that use them!

yes you've missed your smartphone ;) better find it!

[Captivate Android Development] pigrew:
I found an easier way to get around the sdcard mount issue:

Reboot into recovery and run a few commands using "adb shell":

mkdir /data/media

Now, select the update to install, but don't do the "install" yet. You have to now unmount your sdcard like:

umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

and then install, and it worked for me.

[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
It's really hard to follow the development and changes made to this rom. It seems like everyone is using different combinations of nightly/kernels etc. I just read the last 5 pages of the thread along with what I "think" is the changelog, and I still have no idea what kind of progress has been made since I last used cm7 over a month ago.

what exactly do the CPU settings do? ONDEMAND? CONSERVATIVE?

Is any of them geared more for battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] jahanz:
Anyone got video out working? Or know any alternatives?
[Captivate Android Development] jahanz:
My knowledge isn't much on CPU governers but I know conservative is for better battery life, and performance is probably the worst for battery since it keeps the CPU at high frequency ...correct me if I'm wrong guys
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
The CPU governors tell the CPU how to run;

CPU governors control exactly how the CPU scales between your “max” and “min” set frequencies. Most kernels have “ondemand” and “performance.”

ondemand – When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see “up threshold” in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.

interactive – The interactive governor is functionally similar to the ondemand governor with an even greater focus on responsiveness.

conservative – It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.

performance – It will keep the CPU running at the “max” set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting “max” and “min” to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for CPU load.

powersave – It will keep the CPU running at the “min” set value at all times.

..hope that answers your question;)

*EDIT* i forgot about smartass - The smartass governor effectively gives the phone an automatic Screen Off profile, keeping speeds at a minimum when the phone is idle.

[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Just loaded on 25 and everything is great except I cannot run the secret codes from sgs tools to check GSM status ect ... and also voodoo control plus says the kernel has voodoo sound v9, is that true or do I need a different kernel to get the voodoo improvements? I ask this as the sound is not nearly as good as it was with a voodoo sound enabled kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
If your talking about the samsung dialer codes.. they won't work. And voodoo sound is in the stock kernel. If you want voodoo color your gonna have to flash a different kernel... unless i have those 2 backwards:p

Is there a CWM flashable version of the kernel is the latest build? I went over to TheEscapist's kernel and the color is much worse and the scrolling is pretty choppy - I would like to go back to the default kernel...
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
TheEscapist's kernel has

much

better color than stock as I believe it has Voodoo Color incorporated. All colors are much warmer.

I do, however, feel that there is some choppiness. This may be due to the fact that the kernel's default cpu governor is set on "conservative" rather than "ondemand" on the stock kernel. Getting into CM Settings and changing it back to ondemand solved everything.

I won't be leaving his kernel as it has BLN (haven't tried glitch's).
