Dialer Issue?

I noticed that when I went into my call log and made a call from one of my logged calls, that after that when pressing the phone button it will go automatically to the call log screen instead of the dial pad. Is this a bug or a feature of CM7. I can not find an setting to change this but I would think that if you press the phone button that the dial pad should open and no the call log.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Sweet. Now i can finally get back to readin ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Best I can tell it is a feature. Defaults to most used or most recently used, not sure which

edit, missed that

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
settings, call settings, "always back to call log"
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Shaolin95: lol @ your loosing it, also good to know that the PSX emulator works well with CM7!

Will you change your kernel sig to trident? :D
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Is it weird on cm7 that the contacts are like duplicated each time by like 5 times each I only have like 40 or so contacts and I end up with like couple hundred
[Captivate Android Development] rafsi:
I have used many ROMs of date and have always been able to change lcd density to a more personal fav level (190).

With the very first build of CM7 gingerbread for captivate I was able to do the same and all was good. Then after applying one of the nightly builds this feature stopped working... /system/build.prop shows the lcd density parameter at 190 but the actual display is big and bold (most likely 240). Since then i flashed to a 2.2 ROM and back to CM7 3/15 build and the problem continues... I can change the build.prop and the value sticks after re-boot but the rom is not factoring in the change.

I have been able to use the LCD Density app as a workaround but because not being a paid app, everytime i re-boot I have to re-set the density.

more than just paying for this app, I am curious if something has changed how Gingerbread manages this setting OR am i just missing something...

appreciate any help or links...

EDIT: Anyone had similar experience ? or does it work for you guys?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yeah tried that, it didn't work as it still goes straight to my call log instead of the dial pad. Not too big of an issue. Is the the kind of thing to report as a bug? This seems minor compared to some of the other things they are working on. Anyway just wanted to see if it is just me or if anyone else has the same issue.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Try dialing out using key piaf a couple times

Also if you use lock screen controls it goes to dialer

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
This worked...Thanks and I learned something new about CM7. It must be a feature that it remembers your most used function when pressing the phone button and goes straight there... I'm liking this ROM more and more everyday.:)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
1.4Ghz rock solid...all emulators working including some that were not working on 2.2.1 like scummvm...the phone is raging fast right now for everything and I just finished playing a few games with a wiimote....so yes, the answer is the sig will be changing for sure!

Thinking on going with something bluish to match CM style :D
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
Do you guys believe we are getting any closer to putting out a regular cwm flashable styled rom?

Edit:i know I'll likely be anally probed for asking but curiosity is a strong force lol
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I do not believe initial install will ever be

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
mcord is right, initial will most likely NEVER be a single CWM, efsbackup is mandatory from a kernel that supports RFS (initial kernel doesn't); every CM7 device MUST flash a 3.0.0.5 recovery, and since our recovery and kernel are the same, initial kernel must be flash first; after that, it's just format (which is standard for CM also) and install zip.

^besides efs backup, this is the exact procedure every device has to go through for CM
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
it partly depends on the modem you use. and it mostly has to do with the fact that we're using i9000 modems until I can code up the Audience chip so we can use the Captivate modems. Hopefully start work on that this weekend.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Hrm, this is a new one. Hopefully someone else will have an answer - I've never had to look :-)
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
Ahh what you said makes sense. I guess for me its waiting untill everything pretty much works as normal (market and everything I'm general). Then ill try flashing. The slightly complicated procedure has made me push off trying it untill its daily driver usable
[Captivate Android Development] n0stalgia:
Thanks, I flashed from KB1 to JL3, my call quality is great! I have a 1008 phone
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
only the initial procedure to get to cm7 from a non cm7 phone is complicated. After that, it's single update.zip files when updates are released...
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Out of curiosity, would it be possible to use odin to flash the whole ROM at once?

It looks like the compass sensor is not working at all for me. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Basically until Samsung gets off RFS, this is how it will be because we don't support RFS. Maybe once they release Gingerbread and source, we'll be able to do more because our kernel will support RFS too then because we'll have the kernel modules as part of the code drop and could use them to get past this issue - but until then, we're stuck with this method. All SGS phones that use RFS are in the same boat as far as Gingerbread goes.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no, odin uses BML and tries to interface with it that way, using MTD prevents this.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
No, the most you can use Odin for is flashing the kernel and modem. Odin doesn't even know about our partitions as we are not using RFS - we're not Samsung. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
What about Heimdall?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Does that mean losing HSUPA then?

Awesome ROM btw :)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
You win some, you lose some ;-). Actually, I had managed to keep HSUPA and Audience chip functionality before but had lost bluetooth mic back in eclair days. I'll come back to this and see where we get to.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I hope you can provide both choices if somethings needs to be lost...say HSUPA and Bluetooth as a choice for example.

Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Hey Atinm, I got a weird little bug for you. I've had a few users expericence issue #46(?), where cwm doesn't correctly flash the kernel due to bad blocks. I figured I'd whip up an odin flashable kernel, and provide the kernel modules in a flashable zip.

Lo and behold, I tar'd up my latest kernel, and flashed it through odin, and the boot logo had reverted to the old "Kanged" screen. I could still get into recovery, but it wouldn't boot up. Totally forgot about grabbing a dmesg, so I'll check that, but do you any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] kwhee07:
Installed on a virgin captivate today...runs awesome...this is the captivate experience I've been looking for. Has so many new features and settings that I havn't even gone through yet...only missing a few things I've noticed so far.

camera shutter on power button option

facebook enhanced linked account(that grabs pictures and status')

no contact shows up when I start typing there name on T9 on the dialer

I havn't tested every single feature and app...but I am attempting to use this as my day to day use rom..and at the end of day 1 every thing is looking good.

Does anyone know if the bluetooth mouse is possible...I've gotten it to work for selecting between clickable things on screen, and a cursor for copy/paste, but I was wondering if it is possible to have a cursor more of the time
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I have a quick question that may, or may not, have been asked before. Do I have to flash back to stock before installing CM7? I know the MTV video simply stated that you need a kernel that supports CWM, which I do have. Other than that looking forward to the possibility of Gingerbread tomorrow :)
[Captivate Android Development] vvaffles:
what would be the benefits of using a captivate kernel as opposed to a i9000 kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No need to flash back to stock as long as your are on a kernel that support EXT4 and have enabled the lagifx options.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You can only use CM7 kernels not captivate or I9000 kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
read the instructions, if you won't take the time to read and follow them exactly, them come back to this ROM when it's more stable.

well, for one, it'll work for your device as intended
[Captivate Android Development] ctalbot:
Status bar consuming battery?

Anyone else notice the Status Bar process running continuously in the background? I have System Panel monitoring and it has listed Status Bar as the top app for the past 2 hrs. Note the utilization in the second screen shot.

I'm running the 3/10 update.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Sorry, I must have missed that part earlier. I skimmed through it while watching the MTV walkthrough. Also, from what I can gather, CM7 is pretty stable as it is.

Thanks. As soon as I'm charged up, I will look into starting the process up. After that, just have to go find the Voodoo kernel that works with CM7.

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
i had flashed this twice with about a week in between. the first time i was coming off paragon with lagfix and ext4 enabled. the second time i wanted to test out following the video and fts then rerooting, then follow the rest of the instructions. so far, this rom has been completely fine for me and im just curious now, is there a benefit to flashing this coming off of a rom already on ext4 rather than stock?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Nope.

10char
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Lol, I think that is almost exactly what I asked earlier. I'm updating my apps on the marketplace before I start a Titanium Backup run.

Just curious, but since I have read some issues with the GApps.zip, would extracting the updated Marketplace (Vending.apk I think) from my Captivate (Perception 10.4) and install it after I am done updating?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
anyone lose their cool animation when locking the screen after the lastest update? I checked and double checked to make sure it was enabled... its gone :(
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Check in spare parts to see if you accidentally disabled it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
if you messed around with animation speed or timings in apps like spare parts then you need to set it back to default.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
i did.. I got my animations speeds set. and the only other option i have in spare parts concerning animation is fancy input animations.. i checked that to see if that was the problem... no dice ..??
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
ahh.. let me try that

*edit* eh yup.
[Captivate Android Development] Sellitus:
This rom is incredible but everything started force closing. Probably just need to reinstall but otherwise I couldn't believe how incredible it was and that was the only bug I came across period.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Alright, so far, so good. Doing a Titanium Restore as we speak. Haven't gotten 3G to work yet and lost service after I installed Google Apps. Removed the SIM card and will put it back in after I've got my backups restored.

Also thought I would mention that the Reboot into Recovery feature doesn't work at all. I know it stated that it wasn't working, but I didn't think that would also mean in CWM.

Other than this, so far so AWESOME.
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
Only 3 button work combo works for getting into recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] hamburgertrain:
Anyone else having a bit of lag with scrolling and window transitions? everything gets laggy until I clear dalvik and cache, and that's only a temporary fix
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
I can flash: update-cm-7-20110313-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip 2011/03/14

right?

From stock eclair?

following the correct procedure of course...

Just kinda confused with all the updates that are on the source
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
Only had this issue with ADW Launcher so I replaced it and all is well!
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
No...if you fully read the instructions the nightly can only be flashed through CWM after you have the initial installed first. Please re-read 4-5 times and watch the video if you have not already. It will really help you understand what to do in order to properly get this working. And if you want to have HSUPA/HSDPA working you will need to have a kernel flashed that supports this prior to flashing CM7...which means do not flash from stock eclair.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I haven't had any lag before or after installing trident kernel. But as mentioned you can always install a different launcher to see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Yeah Im going to flash speedmod kernal in ODIN as PDA...

Step by step by the video instructions.

Ive flashed this rom when it first came out...

Theres like 5 updates now and was just concerned on which one to flash..

which one is the initial inital cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
From the initial-kernal.tar flashed as PDA using ODIN

from inital-kernal.tar recovery mode...

Choose update-cm-7-20110313-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip from sd card

or will this not work?
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
The initial should still say initial 20030304. After you get that up and going you can then flash the latest nightly. You do not need to go in order of nightly builds. And after you flash EFSbackup that procedure will work. It seems just like what the sourceforge site says. :) The big thing is make sure you have the CAPTIVATE files...some people have not recognized that prior to flashing and used Galaxy S files and messed the process up.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
The only .zip with 20110304 reads: cm7-captivate-update-20110304.zip

Install this?

or...

cm7-captivate-initial.zip

and then update to nightly 20110313???

Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
What kind of nenamark or smartbench scores are you guys getting on this?
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
This. I didn't realize that Atinm changed the name. But this should be what you flash first through Odin after you install the EFSbackup through CWM. It should be cut and dry after that.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
From what I have read the scores are garbage just because it hasn't been optimized to be used with the Nexus S. How does your phone work for scrolling and movie watching etc? That is the true test.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Right on!!

Gingerbreads cookin'!!

Thanks again!

just didnt want to brick...got everything..and I mean EVERYTHING backed...

Whats the point in all the backups if the phone is a coaster... ;p
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Thank me when it works lol. Or did you already get everything flashed and its running cause if you did that was pretty quick!
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Wait...not through ODIN right?

Flash Speedmod as PDA

Recover - Install EFS

reboot into download mode

Flash initial-kernal as PDA

Recover

Select cm7-captivate-initial.zip...Install.

right?
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
yea then after the last step, wipe data
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
After the data is wiped and gingerbread boots...

Shut down...

Recover

!THEN!

Can I flash update-cm-7-20110313-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip

From here??
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I may be wrong but I think the initial was updated to bring it up to the current nightly, but no harm in doing what you said

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
No harm no foul...

Right?
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Anxious to get cm7 running on my captivate again...

6am over here...might just hit the sack and perfom this little baby with a clear mind tomorrow......

useless post I guess
[Captivate Android Development] ale922:
Hey guys, i flased this rom when it first came out with no problem but had too many bugs so i went back to my old rom. Now i want to giev cyanogen another go so i went to the instructions page (they are a little easier now) but the files it says i have to download, i downloaded the efs backup and the initial kernel.tar but i can´t find cm7-DEVICE-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip. Obviously i know the xxxxx is the date so i´m not lookinf for a file with xxxx, but i cant find the file anywhere. I saw the nightly updates but that doesnt work for the initial flash right? can someone point me to the correct file please?

And once again, thanks for all your hard work. Great rom, i´m just hoping you can get tv out working so i can play the emulators on my tv
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Another quick question!!

Should I use odin to Master Clear...and then Flash back to out of the box stock?

Ive got all my folders for Titanium Backup.. Rom Manager.. etc etc on my PC

What do you think?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
That may be true. With all the back and forth yesterday I might have lost track on where he was lol.

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
You don't need to master clear. I never do anymore but that is just my choice.

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
i think you're looking for the "cm7-captivate-initial.zip "
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
This was posted on the CM site a few minutes ago
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Nope. That's another "bug" or "feature", depending on how you look at it. It still works though.
[Captivate Android Development] DirtyRasa:
Just making sure I wasn't the only one.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Been using this for 3 weeks or so and never got above 96%. That's just the way it is I guess.
[Captivate Android Development] nlancaster:
Just saw that as I was about to flash my phone. Had literally just rebooted to recovery and wanted to follow the installation steps. I hit refresh on my web browser for some reason and, boom there it was.

dodged a bullet there I think.

edit: added quote code to make a.vandelay happy with my post.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
When I go to the link, I get an error message"

Am I doing something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] a.vandelay:
and how would that affect something build 24 hours ago?

OMG THANK GOD!!!111 you can't use a quote button and you're about to flash experimental roms. a blessing in disguise no doubt.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
See RIGHT ABOVE your post .... there are problems at the moment.....

It wouldnt. A messed up repo NOW can't affect something you built YESTERDAY...

=P
[Captivate Android Development] nlancaster:
umm. I can use a quote button. I was quoting that from a totally different forum.

See, at the very top of the first post here.

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/

Now if there is a way to quote between to different forums that would rock, could you show me?
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
You could always just type it in manually, e.g.:

[ QUOTE=CMSGS Team ]blah blah[/ QUOTE ]

Without the spaces, of course, and it wouldn't actually link to the post.

Side note: The "code" tag doesn't actually stop BBCode inside it from appearing formatted. Odd.
[Captivate Android Development] nlancaster:
sweet, i will try to remember that.

[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Lol, never been more glad of being yelled at by my wife. She demanded I'd have dinner and "stop playing with your phone".

Turns out I was about to flash haha. Thank you wife! :D
[Captivate Android Development] hedgehogmd:
I flashed a couple of hours ago.Should i remove it and wait to reflash. so far i have not had any problems everything running smooth.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
If running ok, dont do anything yet. Wait til we give the all clear.... be safe =)
[Captivate Android Development] crecsky:
I know I'm not supposed to ask ETA's but I was halfway through the installation process and the initial.zip didn't work.

Then I read that the REPO messed up the files.

How long until the good ones are up?
[Captivate Android Development] TigerEnigma:
What's a kernel?

Kidding...couldn't resist:D
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
I've put back the release I made this morning because the merge into one device place got screwed. What I put up this morning is the same and is fine to flash (with appropriate warnings, preparation, yada yada etc!). Instructions in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] illmatic90:
I must say I am very happy with this ROM and must give a big thanks to all developers involved in creating such a beautiful work of art...cant wait till its completely done. :D

Just a question, how can I get facebook sync working for my contacts? It does not seem to give me that option. And is there anyway I could change the app drawer to 3d mode without switching the whole launcher?
[Captivate Android Development] SpencerElliott:
Running smoothly on my Cappy :D This is awesome! Definitely made my day.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
what about modems?

Currently using KB1...

I'm assuming the modems are called radio files on the source...

Will the kb1 radio work when flashed directly from cm7?

Any help thanks?

Or does the stock modem work well?

I've got great service with the kb1
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Any radio on the cm7 site should work for you but mileage will vary. I am using jk4 with great reception and improvement in battery life. If your phone does not tolerate i9000 modems then you might only be able to use kb1.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Appreciate that!

Pretty much trial and error right?

What differs between each modem?

Still uses att service right?
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
any of you guys used the new trident kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
All of them besides kb1 are i9000 modems which is a version of the Galaxy S sold in Europe and other countries. KB1 is the modem released by Samsung to be At&t Captivate specific. All of them will get you At&t.

Forgot there is one difference and someone correct me if I'm wrong but you will not get Hspa on kb1 which is like turbo 3g. You will notice the H symbol instead of the 3G when you flash the rom which comes with jl3 i9000 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
Shoalin95 .. i saw you one upped me with your captivate :P Do you feel like the 3d performance is better on CM7 1.4ghz trident? I hear the benchmarks kind of suck. How does it compare to when your phone rig was setup with that high bench?
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Yeah that's what I was concerned about...I've got the h running on mine now...

I guess its still cm7 vs. cog 4...
