If I update from the initial build of CM7 will I have to update sequentially or can I use the latest update file directly?

Sorry if its a stupid quesiton but I couldn't find an answer anywhere..

Also, I installed JK4 but still not getting the H symbol..maybe a thing with the Canadian model?
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Had something weird. Not a big deal though. Ran my phone to 0 battery. Recharged and when plugged in turned on like normal. When it hit 100% it the rebooted. Never had it reboot when it hit fully charged.

[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
There is a Changelog file on the update site; I also put it at the bottom the OP post here.
[Captivate Android Development] abezapata:
it used to involve going into the service menu using the dialpad and manually disabling and enabling wcdma before switching to another radio. I dont know if that helps you remember. :p
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
AFAIK the service menu is Samsung's only. It's not available in CM.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
Are you all "stock"? I saw this bug way back when, when using an OC kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
The AT&T KB1 modem does not support HSUPA. HSDPA, however, should work on KB1. Unless you have a 1006 or 1007 build Captivate that does not like i9000 modems, you should not be using KB1 at this point since it is missing voice processing (on the captivate, voice processing is normally handled by the Audience chip, but CM7 for Captivate does not yet support the Audience chip).

Several Canadians with i896's have reported that they do not see the H symbol. However, when they perform a speed test, it shows that they are getting HSDPA/HSUPA speeds. If you have an i896 on Rogers, don't worry about the missing H symbol (unless you are a dev and want to figure out why it is missing).
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
AFAIK, the only OC kernel for CM (on the captivate) is mine, and mine doesn't have the sleep death bug. More likely, you just had a random reboot, and it just so happened to be at 100%.

Anyone else getting Odin crashes when trying to flash the latest initial kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Palmetto_X:
It froze up on me once. There was no progress on my phone and Odin was just sitting there after starting process. This was about 30 minutes, I walked away form my phone when it started.

I disconnected it > restarted Odin > Pulled battery and restarted in download mode ...........then it went through fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Looks like they just released a new version. 13 was the one with the issues. They just released 14.
[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
problems with initial kernel odin FC's

I think theres something wrong with the newly posted initial kernel tar file. I wanted to do a fresh Flash today, just because, and whenever trying to flash the initial kernel, odin shuts down. This did not happen with the prior initial kernel tar file. And i unfortunately deleted the one i had, when i successfully flashed cm7 like a week ago. Can you look into this please?

Thanks.

just read your post. Yah, im getting the exact same issue.
[Captivate Android Development] pparavas:
Do you want the old kernel that was posted a week ago iqbal?
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Does anyone else have no flash content showing up in webpages using the default browser? I remember it to be working in 2.2 days but can't seem to make it work even after reinstalling flash.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Was having your problem, this worked for me

UnInstalled

Went into recovery

Wiped cache

Wiped davlik cache

[Captivate Android Development] :
Just tried 14 and I'm getting a odin failure. Complete(Write) operation failed.
[Captivate Android Development] jlt220:
I am getting the same issue as well i can't figure out why
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
2 questions. For one it seems that my battery is draining faster when I'm in airplane mode. Anyone else seeing this? And does anyone know what the new build version is. The the newest nightly, the new initial and initial kernal for 3/14?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] jlt220:
Could i get that kernal as well.
[Captivate Android Development] metalgeek:
Are you flashing the new 3/14 initial or the 3/13 update? Maybe flashing the initial on top of what's already there is the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
Yes please, ill send you a thanks. Appreciate it bro.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Is flashing the initial necessary if i already have an older version can i just update?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
No. Just flash the update.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
I pushed a crappy initial image and kernel earlier today (haven't done one of those in a while so screwed it up...). Need to look into what I broke so I can fix it. Bear with me . . .
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
There are no update files online new kernel and new initial. What does that mean?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Nothing, I was just updating the initial to be on par with the update and screwed it up. They're the same, or rather, were meant to be the same.
[Captivate Android Development] pparavas:
Here you go, if it helps you ... or i think cmsgs has been updated check out.
[Captivate Android Development] jlt220:
I just flashed cm7 and it is saying I have no internal storage to install apps on

I'm going back to odin and will redo the process but i don't think i deviated at all from the instructions. any help would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
It does that at first just ignore and try again and it will go away. It happened to me when I first flashed this rom but I just tried to install the app again and it worked and I have never seen that again.
[Captivate Android Development] jlt220:
do you mean just try and install the apps again or the rom
[Captivate Android Development] razorguy:
Having a strange problem with connectivity..

I installed CM7 and followed it all step by step and whenever I booted it up for the first time, it didn't have any service at all. I rebooted the phone and had service so no big deal. Then I installed the Gapps and booted it up and no service again. I rebooted and had partial service. I can send/receive texts but cannot access the Internet now. I tried to reinstall the zip but it didn't help. Any ideas..? :confused:

Edit: I guess it decided to start working. I loaded a browser window and it said there wasn't connection but I refreshed it a couple minutes later and the 3G symbol popped up and everything seems to be working now.
[Captivate Android Development] jdhondari:
try locking/ unlocking the screen a couple times or airplane mode

off then back on
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
I think the files should be ok now . . . and do make sure you are using the Captivate files. Don't use whatever "default files" sourceforge is showing you - that is just some random way they pick a file as "default" - go to the actual directory for the captivate in the downloads area and pick the files there. Also, after flashing initial kernel if it seems to get stuck and doesn't get into 3-button recovery, try removing and reinserting battery and then try getting into recovery using 3 button. For some people, just trying 3 button directly after flashing the kernel didn't seem to work.
[Captivate Android Development] heymanator:
Anyone else experiencing lag playing games with this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Angry birds and Asphalt 5 play normally for me.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
This helped me as well..thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
No I went to stock. Then I flashed I this Rom. The weird part is that it only did it when I ran my battery to nothing. If I charge when I still have juice left I have never had this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
He means, are you running any custom kernels, like Kang's, or mine.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] emcnelly:
He means try to install the app again if that doesn't work try a reboot...
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Is there a point in flashing the new initial kernal and builds if u are updated with the most recent nightly? Is there something new in it?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No need to update kernel

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
This might sound stupid but Can I download the update on my captivate and update it using. My captivate without a computer? I am a noob so don't b to hard on me. :)
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
You can download it from your phone just move it to the root of ur SD with root explorer and flash from recovey
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
As long as you already have cm7 on your phone you can update without a computer

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Wats the steps to do it I don't wanna **** up my device
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Download one of the nightly updates, and flash it from recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Download from soureforge like u would from ur computer. Go to root explorer or something similar, and move the update from the download folder to the SD card. Using 3 button to get to recovery then flash (if u want to do it all from ur phone)
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Yea ill have to try it thanks ppl u guys are better than the iphone community there a bunch of dicks glad I jumped to android
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Wanna thank everyone for helping me got the update without messing up ne thing thank u guys will give the cm team beer money soon :)
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
just wanted to say excellent work to all involved...just a small thing i followed all the t but one small issue i have is with my data signal i did not see this listed so i do not know if this is an issue. i have it working now but it took a very long time. just wanted to know if others were having issues with data...but otherwise amazing to have cm7 on my captivate:D
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
hey just wanted to know if anyones zoom using the volume up/down works on their phone. i selected the option for it in advanced settings but still doesnt work (not really that big of a deal). dunno if this is a common bug or just me so if anybody has the same issue or can get it work, just lemme know.

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Why don't you watch the step-by-step youtube video in the OP. Very helpful.
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
i just checked my camera and same as yours no zoom even with it selected very strange :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
thanks. at least i know its not just mine. it will be sorted out eventually and at the rate of the updates hopefully really soon. keep up the great work devs!
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Yea my camera is doing the same thing no bug real though will there b in an update for the TV out option just wondering
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it's already posted, that's the RIL polling bug that's been listed since CM7 came out over a month ago.

feature not implemented yet. will be worked out once they're set to not be "virtual" keys. TV out is extremely low on the list of priorities, barely important for the use of the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
thats a my bad did not see that...working smoothly now no complaints:D
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Ok sorry for the noob question lol good work cm team
[Captivate Android Development] Radukk:
New initial.zip and kernel.tar has been uploaded about 6 hours ago.

is this include newest nightly updates or just re-upload old thing?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
just the latest version of the intial zip and kernel to start with. If you are already on cm7, ignore them. If starting over, use them for initial.tar and zip
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I had a issue with my phone not being able to update using the update.zips and found that it is due to some blm issue with bad sectorssector or something. It is under the bug issue ID #46. I had pm'd Atmin and he got it fixed for me and others that have that issue. There must have been a fix posted back in February that he added into the newest update and/or initial kernel and initial update.zip.

So HUGE props from me to Atmin for helping me out along with at least one other person I read that had the issue. Now I can update and all is still working perfectly.

Is this anywhere near day to day stable??

I flashed cm7 when it was first posted...ended up losing the applications launcher icon from the dock...then the whole launcher itself...

Running cog 4 now...but gingerbread sounds taste

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Running since initial release with no more issues then any other rom available

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] 60hzrumble:
+1 on the car dock not charging, no audio on the usb. From reading the other thread Xcal found some hooks in TW that control the car dock. I get the dock icon, so it knows it's docked. I think both he and Atinm are looking in to getting the dock working.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Sounds cool...if I remember correctly cm7 doesn't have swype correct?

swype is my main use for messaging...

Also...no issues with the launcher dock for you?
[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
I'm running Swype on CM7 just fine and the launcher works great. Only issues so far are battery life and the fact that you sometimes have to put the phone to sleep and wake it up to get the data going. Minor things though and the battery life will probably improve every day I use it.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Does it come with the rom?

What's the average battery life for you?

I've got backups of everything so I'm really considering flashing this...

Will it be up to date?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Sorry to bug with this Q but its important before I flash.

Is FPSE working now with this ROM? Now with a 1.4Ghz kernel it is very tempting.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
swype doesn't come with the rom, but you can download it from their website and install it. https://beta.swype.com/
[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
I got 15 hours yesterday on one charge with a lot of display use learning about Gingerbread and CyanogenMod. That was my first time running it so the initial use will have less life than all others. It does not come with Swype, you have to go to the Swype site and sign up for the beta and then they send you a link to install it on your phone. Simple. I just flashed the initial rom and then updated to the latest nightly which is 3-13-11.
[Captivate Android Development] FireRaider:
My Car Dock works fine, The charging icon does not come on but if you leave it on long enough you can see the battery level come back up. So it is charging.

And the Bluetooth and WiFi turn on and off like I want them to when docking/undocking.

I am using Car Dock Home V3.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Swype needs to be dl from beta

Battery for me its 12-14 hrs of heavy use

[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Thanks everybody!

Would definitely flash it right now but...night shift sucks.

Once its installed grab the update from...where?

And flash it through cm7 cwm?

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Is this battery life with the OC kernel I've seen floating around the board?
[Captivate Android Development] 60hzrumble:
Ok, I didn't leave it on to check. Are you getting audio through?

moble data not working

Hi, i flashed this awesome rom yesterday, but i can't make mobile data to work. any thoughts? also, there were some codes in regular captivate roms to check if hspa is enabled and stuff, i want to know if there's something like that in this rom.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
You could try shutting screen off and turning back on for data connection.. not sure about dialer codes

I haven't worked on the car dock yet and was going to look at both it and TVOUT sometime soon. If Xcaliburinhand has got it working, only a matter of time before I am able to merge his fixes. The previous bug related to mic button was completed by him as well.
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Whats the md5 kernal and do I need it and can I flash it from my device without a computer
[Captivate Android Development] g1ddy:
Are you guys going to merge in voodoo sound or at least get the rom to use the drivers to use the sound hardware acceleration?

Sound sucks w/o it and Kang [as awesome as he is] can't keep up with the nightly kernel builds for cyanogenmod.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Its the hash of the kernel. Follow the directions exactly, or you will brick your phone.

They can't. It's not compatible with mainline.

<insert shameful comment about how my kernel has voodoo sound, is up to date, and has other features like uv>
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Well wats the directions lol I'm a noob
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
If you don't know what an MD5 is, then you shouldn't be flashing your phone until you read more and learn.
[Captivate Android Development] g1ddy:
Dude...at least make an attempt to open a link and then ask a dumb question because you skipped on reading something...
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Well I wanna learn I just need help sometimes I am a noob this is my first Android device
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
+1 good sir

When I was a noob, you got flamed pretty hard for not reading and learning for yourself. Fortunately for this guy the mods don't take kindly to that these days.
[Captivate Android Development] g1ddy:
I guess Escapist is awesome too. Too bad they can't merge these changes =\

It's like not using the phone to its potential because it has something that others don't?
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Ok can someone direct me to where I can learn bout it so I don't **** up my device

[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Ok got wat I needed thanks ppl sorry for being a pest like I said though I am new to android

Thanks for the help
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
In all honesty, read the instructions like 10 times. If something is unclear, post a question in the cm7 q&a thread linked in op. If you are not comfortable that you understand do not flash.

It would not hurt either to read known issues so as to not come back and complain about things that are already being worked on

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
I was thinking the same thing. Either way, I'm done...
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Yeah, but that's the tradeoff with roms like this. You have devs from all sorts of devices working on it, but you miss out on the device specific fixes that we take for granted in our other roms.

That's why it's nice to have a custom kernel with those fixes. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
Does the custom kernel give better battery and more accurate stats? I'm all for custom kernels, but with the battery issues in this rom I think I may wait for a stable release to use one unless it's got battery fixes.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Agreed. For now I am sticking to the "stock" kernel to better help with testing/troubleshooting, but as things get closer to a release I may switch to a more device specific kernel to take full advantage of the Captivate hardware. If your kernel had working audience support, I'd jump to it now ;)
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Mine is undervolt compatible, so yes, you would get better battery life. As for accurate stats, I'm not sure what you mean. The battery isn't supposed to charge to 100%. If you go into settings>about phone> status, battery status will say full at 97% or so, which is what it's supposed to do.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I don't have an i897 :rolleyes: I've got the i896, which doesn't have the audience chip, and I'm more interested in porting bln (which I can use) than the audience chip driver (which I can't). Sorry. :P
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
97% or so is full? That makes zero sense. Why even have a 0-100 scale then? Between that and the inability to charge while off, this build is bat-**** weird to me. Still love it though.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Li-ion batteries aren't supposed to charge to 100% because it's bad for the capacity. Yeah, you may get an extra 10, 20 minutes now, but in a few months, your battery will be dying. What Samsung(and all OEMs, really) is set it so 100% is 100% of the recommended charge. That way, it charges to ~97% of the battery capacity, but tricks you into thinking it's charged all the way. This scale goes by what's the actual capacity of the battery.

tl;dr 97% on this rom = 100% on stock.

And that's how the Nexus S does it, the devs just felt it wasn't a big enough issue to worry about.
