As has been stated many times in this thread, FC's are very common if your /datadata partition is full. Check to make sure this is not the case. If it is, move some of your apps to the SD card.
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
thats the thing, i did that to begin with... ive never experienced anything like this crap though and its getting frusterating lol FC's happening over and over on all kinds of crap like the calendar, but that i could honestly live with if my damn browser worked lol, im about to start from scratch and flash the latest nightly and see how things go without restoring "application widgets" and wifi access points via titanium backup, i believe they may be the culprit behind my insanely frusterating dilema

Battery life, does anybody else notice extra heat generated running CM7?

So I'm back on jvp after running cm7 for a while. 2.3.4 brought such incredible speed enhancements that I saw no need to stay on CM7 and have lackluster battery life, although I already miss CM, its smoother still. It seems that my phone runs much cooler on JVP 2.3.4, and I have noticeably better battery life than on CM7 and I get similar performance, in most areas. I'm wondering why the excess heat gets generated on CM7 running the same CPU settings. What causes it? I think the answer to CM7 battery issues lies in tweaking down something that is drawing too much power and generating extra heat. The awesome devs will solve it eventually, I'm just sharing my ideas, and I hope my information helps spark discussion and problem solving.

Aren't your wifi access points saved to your gmail, haven't had to reestablish any connections ever. The culprit has been identified and stated. I don't see why moving apps to sd has become a complication, nothing crappy about the work here at all :)
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I must have missed in your original post where you said that you checked the free space in the /datadata partition. All I saw was you mentioning that there was "1.4 GB of space free internally." Since that has absolutely nothing to do with the free space on /datadata, I am not sure why you even mention it, unless you don't know what or where /datadata is and how to check the free space.

As far as TiBU goes, I highly recommend that you do not use it to restore anything from non-CM builds except for application data (after installing the apps from the Market). Don't re-install apps (it may work, but seems to sometimes cause issues) and NEVER install anything system related (like WiFi access points).

Are you sure it's still in the kernel? I thought it was completely taken out. If it was taken out, then you need to flash a custom kernel. I recommend Tk-Glitch's personally :)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Hmm, don't see anything in that - can you also get a logcat?

$ adb logcat

And cut/paste the output to a file. Do the logcat right after you see the behavior, the "bad" and then the "good".

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
This thread blew up real fast and I have tried to stay on top of it but I do have a question. I am on a Captivate, got CM7 working perfectly with NO issues so far at all. I can tell yyou guys put a lot of awesome work into this and wanted to say thanks. I do have one question and hope I don't get slammed. I have flashed about 100 times trying out all different roms so I am not a total newb. Well here it goes...

I read the instructions and all worked perfectly. I noticed there was an update zip so I donwloaded it, placed it in the sdcard, used the three button combo to get to recovery, flashed it and everything looked good. Now I hit Reboot and got stuck at the ATT screen. I cannot get it back to the recovery screen. I can get to download mode. So I connected to the pc, flashed via odin the cm7-captivate-update-20110304.zip and then used the three button and wnet back into recovery. Then I RESTORED my nandroid backup. Everything was back to normal.

So my question is WHEN it says REBOOT I am NOW guessing I am NOT supposed to use the REBOOT from the recovery menu? And should just Three btton combo to get it to reboot that way? I know HOW to get back as I stated above so no big deal, just wondering HOW/WHAT I am doing wrong when trying to reflash an UPDATE zip? I thought maybe I had a bad download of the update file so I tried again with same results. So WHAT am I missing step wise? Any thoughts are appreciated. Like I said I CAN get back to my original nandroid backup once I flash the odin update and restore from CWM. Sorry for the long post just hoping I was thorough enough so you can see what I am doing wrong. Like I said I am guessing that AFTER I flash an update.zip or the voodoo kernel that is now posted I should NOT use the CWM REBOOT. Please let me know. Thanks

Ps. I have read almost all the post and did not see any others with my problem so that is why I am asking. Thanks again.

This is where I am confused about how I am rebooting possibly?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I reboot from the CWM menu every time and it works fine, seems yours was a unique case. I've flashed the voodoo kernel through that method too and it worked fine to hit "reboot now" in CWM

anyone having connection problems

i keep losing my connection i been getting no service on and off frequently about 2 days i tried jk4 and kb1 modems any suggestions.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I suggest trying the KB1 modem for a bit longer, I don't get this issue. it's possible you have a hardware defect though (as we can't reverse engineer the modems, we can't help you troubleshoot them much)... your best hope is to post an adb logcat -b radio and we'll see

okay il try the modem for a few more days thanks
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
I was wondering about the other people that decided to use the voodoo version of the kernel when you go into the voodoo control app and click headphone amplifier does it force close? I can adjust the amplifier. I can change color settings thought and at the bottom under "voodoo sound improvements" its says kernel driver version 2. So do I have voodoo sound or not.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
After you are flashing an UPDATE zip or the Voodoo kernel are you wiping/formatting data? Cache? I didn't think about that step and probably missed it. Or are you just flashing and the reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] miahsoul:
Sorry but, I couldn't get any answers out of the Q&A section, but how could you get the most vanilla experience out of CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
just flashing and reboot

I guess don't modify anything as CM7 comes (out of the box) looking very much like AOSP android 2.3

I'm using the voodoo kernel. I just dled the .zip from the site posted in the OP, and flashed it from CWM (just like all always). I didn't do any wipe after flashing the voodoo kernel.

[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
Okay, well i have moved 10 apps to the sd card, cleaned the datadata folder out, and STILL i get force closes with the browser. thats the only issue with the build i am having. I personally use the browser more than any other app on my phone and cant stand it FC'ing all the time, i even went in and froze some useless system apps that dont ever get used like protips and file explorer trying to free every recource my phone has, i have 115mb+ ram available and still nothing i do seems to help.. does anybody have any insight on the matter? i have reflashed with a completely clean install, restored ONLY games from titanium backup, no system data whatsoever, got the market and everything else on the phone working flawlessly, i just dont get what is killing my browser every time i open it.. i do not understand this and if anybody could help me i would be greatly appreciative of it. I am not new to this android thing by any means, and have experienced nothing as frusterating on any custom rom on any device in my sig.

i have an sd-ext partition on my external card that i think could be used as a host for a symlink for the datadata folder if anyone believes that might work as a fix

Status of TV-Out with stock CM7 or glitch/dujour?

Hi

Just wondering, i've searched and see nothing new, if there is anything new happening in regards to TV-Out with CM7. I remember a few months ago it was mentioned that it was brought into the codebase of the kernel du jour but it had to be implemented or something...anyway to get TV-Out working with CM7 and stock or any kernel (dujour or glitch)?

Thanks

Jason
[Captivate Android Development] tarheelblueboy87:
Damn you Samsunnnggg! I stayed on JVP for like 3 days, but I'm back on CM7 now, probably for good. CM7 is so much less buggy and 10x more responsive. Quadrant scores definitely overrate the performance boost of ext4 on Samsung ROMs, which is why I thought performance was the same until I tested its day-to-day use. Kernel development is helping save a lot of battery life now as compared to a month ago, so once you can open those interfaces and get that documentation battery life should be awesome.

Thanks again for your hard work atinm, I appreciate the response to my question, you do a great job maintaining this thread.

[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
that sucks wonder if there is something we could do to give up the code so you guys can fix it
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
The fact that it is working may or may not be related to space on /datadata, but out of curiosity, how much free space do you currently have now that you did some cleaning?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
That sucks...I don't suppose that whoever holds the NDA will allow you to sign one also so that you can write to code and release it as a binary blob the same way Samsung does?

NDA's can be a major PIA because whatever the company that holds it is, they probably have very little riding on releasing the code or allowing independent developers to sign NDA's. Everybody knows who makes the phone and companies like Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc, can create positive publicity by working with independent developers. Companies who make the components (such as Broadcom, TI, Wolfstein, Marvell, etc) have little, if anything, to gain by doing the same.

[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I am sure he is talking about the /radio partition. Mine is at 89% (14.2 MB of 16 MB used). I suspect that the space used depends on the radio you use though. I am using JL3.

ah could be I have jv6.

Just wanted to make sure it was not messed up lol
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
First off WOW i didnt think it would be this low, but even after uninstalling 3-6 system apps, and moving about 12 apps to the sd card, and uninstalling everything i could spare, /datadata has 1.23mb left in it! that had to have been the issue, but now i wonder what i would need to do to increase the size of /datadata to handle all of my apps, might you know a way to do that nkrick?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
No way to change that but you just need to make a habit of moving them to the SD card after installing. I got a ton of apps with no issues :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
This basically means that battery life as we see it right now will be the norm I guess. I can still live with it though; been doing so for several months now.
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
on my old phone the directory labeled sd card was an actual card you could take out of the phone, and moving apps to the sd card caused massive performance degradation and huge battery drain issues because the phone had to constantly process back and forth between the card and the system to run them, but now that you have pointed this out to me i understand how that should not be the case with the captivate because its internal memory is labeled sd card lol i know its common sense but i havent even had this phone for half a week yet :p i hadnt thought things would be different but thank you for bringing this to my attention +1 thanks button has been clicked kind sir!

edit: Sorry, I misread the post.

I don't know of a way to increase /datadata aside from re-partitioning on your own and compiling your own CM build from scratch. Atinm discussed the reasoning behind why /datadata is the size it is much earlier in the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] maizein:
Regarding the "Easy way" to install CM 7 on the Captivate

My phone has 2.2 on it (came with 2.1 and Rogers updated it to 2.2). I managed to root the device but decided to clarify 2 things before moving on:

"Start with a rooted Eclair/Froyo running Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders (do not ask us how to do this)."

Ok, I'm not gonna ask how to do it (Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders). I just would like to know if mine is the correct bootloader. How can I verify that?

"Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Captivate (MTD) (ignore the warning about not having an official, pick ClockworkMod 2.x)."

This is what actually happens:

"Captivate (MTD) does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"

I answer "No" since I never installed CWM manually:

"Sorry! Until ClockworkMod recovery is available, ROM Manager will not work with Captivate (MTD)!"

What should I do then?

Thx!

Script for Preventing Apps from Re-installing w/ Updates?

I'm really sorry guys, I do feel this has been touched upon somewhere, just I simply cannot find it anymore.

I want to prevent updates of CM7 from re-installing system apps that I've TiBu-uninstalled (freezing works yes, but that's not my goal). I can recall a post describing a script-template that one could place on their phone that would tell the update-installation to skip installing apps of their choice. Would any of you fine folks here happen to know what that is and how to do it?
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Only way I know of to do this is to open the rom.zip file and remove the application manually from the zip...

Or, you could use Autostarts to disable the app from ever starting automatically and then hide the app. Even tho the app still would be installed, it would never be able to run because autostarts prevents the app from ever starting and if the app is hidden, it could never be run manually...

But neither of these sound like what you are looking for...
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Nope, not exactly. But I guess cancelling the ROM Manager update after download to remove the apps I want from the zip, then updating, sounds better than re-TiBu-uninstalling and restarting every time.

Can't remember if the script idea I thought I saw in a post was a CWM or CM7 feature... or perhaps I'm dreaming up vague memories of features I want :P
[Captivate Android Development] oblivianz:
So does anyone know when the NDA will be over for the Captivate? Looking forward to greater battery life on this.
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Look in this thread, I posted a major reason as to battery drain issues.

But in short:

While their may be an issue with CM, I personally dont see it. However, their is a problem with the latest update to Google Maps and if you buy the app Autostarts to simply turn off all of the conditions Google Maps starts under, your battery life will improve dramatically.

Details in my previous post.

Personally, I am getting 'almost' the same battery life as Cognition 4.5.3 after I tweaked ALL the apps and when they run (basically, I disabled app user apps and all the conditions they start under with exception to apps that need to run in the background to do their 'thing' ie apps like Sanity, BeyondPod).

Of course, if you are 'really' concerned with battery life, consider one of these. Its expensive ($60 USD) and does everything form factor wise you DONT want an extended battery to do (twice the thickness of the stock phone, slightly heavier) but it has more than doubled the battery life of my Cappy and I have been using it for 2 months now.

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoce..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1310037448&sr=1-1

And fyi, I have 4 Cappies, one running Cog 4.5.3 with the stock battery and one running the latest CM nightly (#50) with the stock battery, after using Autostarts, they both last about the same (the CM phone is probably 15% faster than the Cog phone).

Cognition probably is the most battery efficient rom out there fyi.

Oh, and one other thing, wifi is also a MAJOR battery drain with CM (having it on drains my battery at about 5% every 30 minutes).

Consider using Juice Defender (the paid version) to keep / manage your 3g (to control your data so that you dont go over the data cap) off and keep wifi off as well. I go thru most of my work day with data and wifi explicitly off and only enable them if I need a quick internet connection for something.

Juice Defender will enable your wifi / cellular connection based on different conditions to allow your running apps to get a quick update from the web if they should need it. But be aware, if you used autostarts to disable apps from updating when your connection changes, this wont be necessary.

Personally, I toggle the network connection via the general android settings manually and I dont use Juice Defender.
