I made he mistake of starting this process without realizing first that my 3-button combo doesn't work. is there a way to recover from this? ADB doesn't work either. Help!

[QUOTE

Phone will not charge while off, will merely turn phone on. known issue right now, hopefully fixed eventually.[/QUOTE]

Was not complaining didn't know it was known.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
glad you like it. yeah I'm one of the people who can't use i9000 modems as well, KB1 just sounds gross for extended conversations. :(

screen tint is actually more realistic, in my opinion, we're just so used to seeing a cooler overall temperature that it's just a glaring difference.

oh I know, was just letting you know it wasn't a specific issue to you, it's just currently under the list of things to be fixed
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
get a jig. $10 from mobiletechvideos.com

install the three button fix once you get your phone back up and running
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
OK so far everything was good and then I was on a call and got disconnected and realized I no longer had service so I rebooted and still no service what should I do reflash modem?

Edit: As I was posting this service came back weird...
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
dumba$$ question of the day

Ive got everything figured out except the most important thing. How do you download with odin? Ive looked and looked and looked but cant find the proper info on it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
if you suffer from the issue where you randomly lose service with i9000 based modems, the only fix I have found is to run the KB1 modem that's available (it's ugly, but it doesn't disconnect)

to get into download mode, power your phone completely off, open ODIN on your computer, hold both volume buttons on your phone, and plug in the USB to your computer (and then to your phone). if this *doesn't* get you into download mode, your download mode may be broken, I suggest flashing 3 button fix.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
List of reasons I flashed back to Cognition4 -

- HORRIBLE battery life! Absolutely horrible. I have no idea what it could be attributed to but it renders my phone unusable due to the fact that I require my phone to last off the charger for more than 6hrs. lol MAIN DEAL BREAKER!

When the device first boots the "google sync" connection takes around 1-2 minutes to establish itself. I'm assuming this is the "Polling problem". Even after locking and unlocking it still takes a couple minutes to establish a connection. This was one of the biggest deal breakers for the time being.

- WiFi Sleep causes random reboots.

- Camera issues. Sometimes is unresponsive. Really laggy. (I really don't use my camera much but hey, just an FYI)

- That and I needed my phone to be a tad bit more reliable for the time being! Sorry...

I KNOW, I KNOW.... "Logcat please." Unfortunately I was unable to produce one before I had to switch back to a more functional ROM. Umm, basically I needed my phone to be a bit more reliable during the beginning of the week but I wanted to test out CM7 for Captivate over the weekend. So I had to do some quick flash, like jimmy johns fast... lol...

But ANYWAYS, once the WiFi Sleep Policy bug-fix is tested and the files are implemented and posted I will flash CM7 again, give it another go and I will post the Logs as well as report all the little bugs I notice in the Issue Tracker...

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this because 2.3.3 + Captivate + Androidian theme + Honeycomb boot animation + Honeycomb wallpaper = pimp.
[Captivate Android Development] nlancaster:
I love it also. It is the one thing that you see every time you use the phone. and the biggest visible change from any other rom I have run.

That being said. until the camera and network sleep problems get worked out I am probably going to go back to perception 10.4 with glitterballs kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] ibrutalfatei:
After a couple days of using it, I have found some bugs here and there but this ROM is Epic! Although the battery drain and the wifi sleep issue are there, I think it's time to head back to continuum. The battery is just horrible as said in the above post. I have made a few mistakes here and there where I will toggle 2G/3G and the phone reboots and all I get is force closes with no signal. I will wait for a more stable release. :)
[Captivate Android Development] nmandi:
This ROM rocks. Been using since it was posted. Will never go back to 2.2. Just install updates as they come out. Thanks for your work.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I don't know what you guys are doing wrong. Obviously a few things since you haven't read the OP but my battery life is great! 2 days and finally put it on a charge. NO random reboots and have wifi sleep to never.
[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
I dunno why people are rushing these devs and then when the rom comes out they didn't like it and complaint this and that flash back to their old rom
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
they fixed the wifi problem hopefully they fix the sensors and the extrenal sd card

i wish someday would get the source for the ginger leak it would really help the devs out
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
so many haters..........and trolls

It's not even the final build and people are complaining. Don't effin flash it then.......the ROM is completely usable, battery life might not be the best especially with the live wallpapers but it still gets me through a day and i applaud CM, atinm and everyone else on their hard work.

As for now, i will go back to a 2.2 ROM and flash CM 7 when it is in its final build :)
[Captivate Android Development] Klyentel:
No Tv out? Ahh man. Now that just sucks. I was seriously thinking about flashing this too, aside from all the bugs I've been reading about, oh well... I've waited this long, guess I'll continue. Patience, a virtue I'm so blessed to have:D
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
ok, so i updated to KB1 from JK4 and FOR SOME REASON has fixed the choppy graphics and sporatic no service....but now people cant hear me on phone calls.

throughout this entire process (on the 03/03 build), when the phone gets low it either doesnt charge at all, charges a bit and then the charging icon dissapears or drains while on the charger.

i just charged it on a wall charger for about 4 hours and came back to a 6% battery when i charged it at an 8% battery

the werid thing is is that i've reproduced these issues on 3 different captivates and i havent really heard these mentioned by anybody for the most part.

anyway, going back to aospMOD for now...will check back
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
nope the i9000 dont have it webstars ginger rom would (port) work on the captivate if there was a source code
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Damn. That sounds pretty bad. JK4 has been a champ with me. I do not know what to tell you !
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I guess you didn't understand me clearly squishy. I said I bet they(atinm codworkx, coolja) probably peep it the second it came out. I wasn't saying we had a port on the captivate from an i9000 leak

and what the hell where you trying say. I almost **** my pants trying to read that gibberish! J/k I got it!

A leaked out Kangy Ginger Rom would just such. Taking drivers out and applying them to galaxy s with CM7 would be good. But a non offical kang would just stink! I wouldn't get a boner over it.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Atinm, I'm trying to change the MTU settings for the mobilespot ap on Cm7 but I cannot seem find where the settings are ? data/data? build.prop? I have no clue. Mtu is set at 1500 from pdp0 but moblehotspot bottlenecks it. I'm hoping i can bump it up without any problems just cant' track it down. Any suggestions???
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
So i just flashed this and I'm getting horrible battery life... Does anybody know why??

lol, jk. But i would like to know if our camcorders still record in HD 720p? Just noticed our camera was different, and from what i gather it is because samsung does not have any apps currently supported on android 2.3.x
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
...even if samsung did, this ROM most llikely wouldn't be using them.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
i dont really know what the appeal of the ginger leak is anyway, i see cm7 but samsung gingerbread is just another version number as far as im concerned. as far as cm7 goes ill wait for it to get finnished, the 2.2.1 roms are actually quite good.
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
does anbody back button not work and settings button. I think Build 20110309

is only for the I9000 becuse in settings its says I9000
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Video does not support 720p as of right now and camera does not support 5mp right now too but this is still the best ROM for me....
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
yeah, if you're looking for a daily-driver type ROM this is not it (in my experiences)

although, my problems seem to be a lot more serious than most apparently.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Unfortunately, samsung did make a good video recorder camera software. No this wont do that as far as i know

I guess i was fortunate, because I've yet to have one FC. Like i said , i've had my battery last 2 days! Im using jk4 modem and don't lose signal and speed test was amazing. I hit 4down 1.45 up. Ping was 101.... booya! I'm loving CM7. It's pretty nice. I thinking either you guys did a bad flash. I just don't see how I can be sitting so pretty, I also flashed this on 2 other friends of mine phones and they are experiencing the same level of excellence. ???? don't know what to say!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
ok so... that was completely unhelpful. Ok maybe this ROM wouldn't have samsung apps if they could run, maybe they would.. i dont really care either way.

My question was our phones did record in HD 720p with stock camera, does anyone know if they still have HD recording?

*EDIT* you guys type faster than i can reflash this page.. THanks for the info everyone!
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
If you flashed the I9000 update then you broke your button functions. Flash back to the captivate version and they will work again.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No, it does not

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
I must say that I am also really impressed with battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Me too, I'm averaging about 16 to 20 hours which is more then enough for me.
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
Nope look at the http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/captivate/

the latest build which is in the captivate sourcefourge is only made for the I9000

just look at the differnce in the name between the build or flash it for you sel

BUILD 309 is only now for the I9000
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
considering all the step that involved in flashing this. I can see that this isn't for everyone. I think if you are experiencing battery life of 6 hours then obviously you did something wrong. If not then it could be that you are using tb and backing up data or something crazy that just making a process run away at 100% or throwing on setcpu , it could be a million things to be honest. I'd say it was a bad flash.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Squishy don't flash that crap! Try CM7 again. Follow the step you will be 100 times happier dudecicles! I promise if you do it right you wont have any problems now flashing that i9000leak crap on your phone is just terrible. Why!!!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
:D saweet! Is this 2.2 version OCable and have voodoo sound? I was just checking out your other kernel and wanted to wait for one that could do both OC and Voodoo.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
The latest build is from 0304 there is no 0309 version for our Captivates yet, they are testing it and will update this post when it's ready for our phones.
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
The latest build is only FOR the I9000 Build:309

I Flashed form the captivate source forge and the build model says I9000 and the back and search key dont workhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/captivate/
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
then why would they post it on http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/captivate/

for build 309
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes I agree that the link is misleading but it does say galaxy s not captivate. They should remove it from the captivate page. They also have a galaxy s radio posted too. I hope no one flashes it.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Excape nice work. However I do have to give these guys caution. If they can't even flash this right then add that on top? It's like a thousand more variables. How would you even trouble shoot, seriously? Sound's like you should be on Dirty Jobs cause I couldn't image all the advil you would have to go through. Yeah I just saw the bug list on your kernel. Trouble shooting is got to be insane. I do give you props cause you must have a lot of patience.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Please just reflash and be careful what files you dl. Still you symptoms are that of someone running a i9000 kernel on the captivate

Edit: I see your point but the link cleary says sgs not captivate

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
just saying and I know its a mistake lets just hope the devs fix it
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
man, I did like 3 dry runs and pretended to do the whole process, of course not pressing any buttons or actually hooking up Odin. I watched connexion2005's video over and over. Got exactly what files were in the video (i even paused and got up real close to make sure we were had the same files.) and followed EACH step EXACTLY.

I did follow the video, but i am experiencing no problems with known precautions (set wifi to never sleep, and dont touch 2g/3g)

Its pretty cool- I'm the only one out of my friends running real gingerbread!
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I actually have no idea what you're talking about, no offence. :p

Yup, fixed the bug from v2, and then the bug that I created in v2.1 will fixing the first one. :p

Email apk

I read thru 174 pages, and saw a few folks talking about replacing the email.apk with a no security version. I tried do the same Root explorer, but then the email icon doesn't even appear in the apps list. Has anyone had better luck.

Thanks in advance.

Devs - great work. Looking forward to using this as my daily driver.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I know the link says "latest file: galaxys-update blah blah"... but DON'T FLASH SOMETHING that doesn't have "captivate" in the title.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
The link is there because that is how sourceforge.net works - it isn't really meant to deal with android. It thinks everything is for a desktop os and decides which file you really want based on your PCs os and if it doesn't have it set, it just uses the latest file that was uploaded to the project. Given that Galaxys is the most prevalent model, that is the one that is "default". Ignore it - just use the ones that say captivate on them (or we'll just change all the names to be cm7-GALAXYS_YOU_FLASH_ON_OTHER_YOU_LOSE-update-20110309.zip, think that will work?).
[Captivate Android Development] nlancaster:
lol.

I looked at sourceforge and said, YEAH update. then looked and saw that is said galaxys in the file name.

I has a sad now....
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
anyone know a good app killer to use. I used to use task manager to kill the running apps, and also do a level 2 memory clear. In my experience advanced task killer sucks. Anyone got anything else that works like task manager.

-testing with the OC kernel and trying to see what kind of scores i am getting, but would like to accurately kill running apps..

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
You could just go into Settings>applications>Manage Applications>running and end all the apps in there.

Also, I got ~2150 on 1.2GHz when I tested v1, and just got 2339 on v2.2. That help? :P
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
Is swype available for CM7? It took a while for me to get used to it but now I like it. If not, no big. So far I love this ROM
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Only if you get it from their beta site. It was open a few days ago, should still be.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
you may still be able to sign up for the swype beta, not sure though
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
..not seeing an end all option ??
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
First off i would like to say that this has made my phone 120 times better than what it was and i will be donating to the devs who help get this ported to our cappys. I do have a quick question and sorry if this was asked before. I looked in this thread and tha F&Q thread and couldn't find the answer. I was wondering does flash work with CM7. I have it installed and still cant watch flash content online. Again sorry if this has been asked before.

Thanks for all your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
I had this problem trying to copy apps from sdcard to /system/apps

what I found was I had to copy it one folder up at a time for example: copy from "/sdcard to /" and from "/ to /system" and from "/system to /system/apps"

it weird but thats what I had to do it wouldn't let me copy and apk directly from the sdcard folder to the apps folder.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Working here

[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Thanks. Back to the drawing board to see whats going on with my flash.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
U really don't need one. Android is set to manage apps well. Remember it makes no difference if u have 10mb or 100mb of ram free what matters the most is CPU usage. For that I recommended watchdog or watchdog lite
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
cool, I'll check it out
[Captivate Android Development] hkk:
coderunner,

Thx for the reply.

I don't have a problem with copying the file itself. I was able to copy from sd card and paste directly in system/apps. However, Email app is not shown in the app drawer anymore, so I can't even get to open it.

Theres a cm option that allows a long press on the back button to kill an app.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
The more I play with this rom and find out everything thing this rom has the more I am loving it. I can not thing if going back to 2.2 now. :)

I am wondering if I can change a few things with my calls.

The hold botton is there a way to move it or remove it? Twice when talking my ear has hit and I have put people on hold with out knowing it.

When I remove the phone from my ear the screen does not turn back on. Is there a setting to change this?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I believe both your problems can be solved with SETTINGS>CALL SETTINGS.... check "always use proximity sensor"

what exactly changed with the 20110309 build??

Is it more stable?? or did they only fix the wifi sleep problem?

Changelog is on the cm forums, but yes, that's all. There was also a few commits with regards to the cpu settings in cmparts.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Nice, didn't know about that.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Ok sorry for this newb question but here I go.

What or where do I put the .md5 file? Do I need to put it somewhere BEFORE running the update via cwm? Do I NOT need the .md5 file for updating?

The reason I ask is I have NOT been able to change kernels to either of the OC kernels. I just get the att screen after running the captivate.update.zip

I then have to use Odin to reinstall the initial.kernel.tar and then I have everything back to normal. Any help with updating would be appreciated.

I can change modems via cwm with no issues. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong unless it is placing the .md5 file somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Thanks I will see if that fixes it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Use the zip file.

That's a question for whomever created the OC kernels

Just use the zip file
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
You don't need to do anything with the md5 files. Are you talking about my oc kernels? If so, you're best off posting bugs in my thread. Come over there, i'll trouble shoot.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
I haven't seen this in known bugs.

Is CPU settings functional?

None of the setting take.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Not as far as I know. Ive heard setcpu, etc, don't work on the stock kernel either.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Bummer...

When I saw the governor settings in the cyanogenmod-performance settings I got all excited...

I already tweaked 27hrs on this...

Just pushing for more...lol
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
setcpu works on my kernel. :p

(yes, shameful selfpromotion is shameful)
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Yes I was trying to use your of kernel and it fails. I also tried using the update /04 from /03 and same thing I get stuck at the att screen. So I wasn't just pointing out your kernel. Just trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. I followed the page with directions for updating from earlier cm7 and for some reason it no workie for me. I then tested flashing modems supplied and no issues. I have also went and wiped out my whole SD card and started from scratch ( using Odin with repartition), then biluolding up from an Odin cognition, then came supernova or perception Rome then finally follow the directions for first time install (either the 03 or 04 builds). Everything works great with no fcs. Just cannot for the life of me update to newer build. (Possibly updating from 03 to 04. Ring almost exact same why it would update?)
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Quick question about using titanium backup to restore apps. I read the q&a and it says to restore apps + user data and I did that my first cm7 flash and when I rebooted it caused some problems. Before the restore and reboot almost everything worked fine. I got a tip from another user to only restore missing apps and data. Any suggestions on which restore option to use on my next go.

Also on a side note, would it cause problems that I restored all of my launcherpro with the backup (read somewhere that it may be better to redownload separately)

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I always restore apps & data only

I don't believe launcherpro is 2.3 compatible.. so as long as you aren't running it, then it wont matter - someone please correct me if I am wrong.
