sometimes it takes a while for HSPA icon to pop up, but it will.

I have not seen/heard this before. if you followed the instructions exactly, this shouldn't be happening. make sure if you try switching ROM's to an old one that you check "repartition" in ODIN or else it will not work.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
can you set wifi policy to sleep when screen is off without problems?
[Captivate Android Development] BelvedereWRX:
Great, ready to flash and the original instruction link is down.

Are there any alternatives?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no, you must set to never sleep or else you will get random kernel panics
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
How can i change the overall Cyanogen theme of the phone? I did it a while ago and I dont remember how.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
sorry, we're slowly moving over to a single, managed thread for all GSM devices. new (same) instructions/builds here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/

3 themes are already included by default with the theme engine. more are available in the generic "android themes" section of xda and the market (search for "theme engine")
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Nevermind, found it. Im an idiot haha.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
its crazy how this is pretty much going to render all other roms useless....poor devs

but thanks to the devs that created this!
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
I'm assuming that since MobileAp is a Samsung product, that it is not available. Is there a built in wireless tether app in AOSP or would I need to go back and find the most recent version of the app from Google? Like these:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
Because this is not listed anywhere and I want to warn people ahead of time Samsung related software will not work..this INCLUDES the codecs that allow us to play mkv or divx or anything like that. This may be added later but will be much later down the line.

Again happy cyan to everyone
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
I had this problem and the second time I started over with a rom running speedmod kernel I think i used firefly.

Oh an another thing when you flashed the cyanogen kernel did you check the repartition box? I did that the first time not really thinking and I kept booting into recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
There is one included in aosp.havent tested yet....
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
I actually had to reinstall LP to keep it from force closing and being laggy on me. I had restored the app using TiBu. I cleared data for the app and the problem remained. then i just uninstalled, reinstalled, and restored the lp settings using the lp backup/restore option within lp.
[Captivate Android Development] Palmetto_X:
Newly installed, followed all the directions and have yet to find any problem other that what has been reported.

CM7 is very impressive, good job guys

If there is anything I can do to help just let me know
[Captivate Android Development] arcardinal:
For anybody experiencing any app force closes, try this:

Reboot into recovery. Got to advanced. Choose set permissions

This should stop the force closes. This fixed it for me. I was having terrible force closes before doing this. After, I have not had a single force close since and its been 2 days.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Additionally, clearing cache and data should help.
[Captivate Android Development] Fortune090:
Is it weird that I had a dream last night that the Wifi sleep issue was fixed...?
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
wow..there are people here that seriously should not be installing this. they obviously are not reading even the original thread and information.

You can't stupid proof this thing people...you gotta read and research and you find a problem, you don't just post it, you read and research some more. You're not the only people who ever installed this and most people would have found your issue first..

I'm just thrilled to get back to some CM goodness and can't wait for more stability!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
then I guess you've been sleeping for a while as it was fixed days ago :P
[Captivate Android Development] delutedsoul23:
Heres my battery life on cm7. And that seems good in my opinion
[Captivate Android Development] vvaffles:
the battery life is definitely good enough for everyday usage, i get about 13 hours on medium usage (2 - 3 hrs of web surfing on 3g, all updates on, random calls and messages) keep up the great work guys
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
I see that against all odds there is a new 03-11_2011 update on i9000 side :D

Hope to carry on with the captivate date problem for a long time;)

[Captivate Android Development] cgugino:
Which modem and kernel are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] delutedsoul23:
The cm7 initial kernel and the original modem. Nothing special
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
If that's what you're getting then I'm sold :D All I need is about 12-14 hours of uptime a day (8AM-10PM) so this should fit the bill well. Thanks :D

Are those what come with the standard installation?
[Captivate Android Development] delutedsoul23:
Yes. I havent added or changed kernel or modems. All i dis was flash the most recent nightly
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Yes. You may experience different results with different modems though depending on where you live and how strong the signal in your area is.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
^^ yup

JK4 works well in Florida, I can attest to that. JL2 also works well, but 3G speeds are a bit slower. Not much though. Some have said that JL3 works well also. I just prefer the JK4. as always ymmv
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
I've found battery to be better with CM7 than stock Samsung in a signal poor area. Ymmv
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
I'll check if you let me know how to. Not sure what FPSE is
[Captivate Android Development] betadan:
I see FPSE and think Front Page Server Extensions....
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Nah, it's a playstation emulator. shaolin was talking to me the other day about whether my kernel would fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Would the latest version have all rc2 mailine changes? The reason I am asking is I want to use a theme that has a version for nightly build #18 and one for RC2. The nightly build #18 one worked for the initial captivate release (3/4/11) but I am not sure about the latest one since it came after the rc2 so I am asking. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
There is no rc2 for the captivate only rc0....
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
We don't have an official rc2, but all the fixes are still there.

Edit: Sorry, make that most. Atinm corrected me.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
We're not merged to mainline yet (it is happening, but slowly) so we are not on the same schedule as CyanogenMod mainline yet. But we get the same fixes for anything non-specific to SGS phones so we might as well be RC2 as far as you are concerned. But SGS specific stuff is nowhere close to RC2 status - that's pre-RC0.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Sorry all of you misunderstood me. I understand the development stage that the captivate is in and that it hasn't merjed to mainline, I was wondering if themes for official rc2 for other devices would be compatable (aka this one uses same system ui/framework) but its ok I will try it and see if it works. If it doesn't I will use nandroid.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
They should - we have everything CyanogenMod has, it is only SGS specific stuff that is pre-RC0. The common stuff that we haven't touched is just pulled from CyanogenMod directly.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I have a question how can I tell if the update 0311 took? I did notice the build number changed. Is the current build GRH78C?

I ask because my phone has a weird issue I have asked about before where I can apply a current update without any errors or issue while it is building. Then when I go to reboot I am stuck on the att screen. I have to connect to Odin and reinstall the initial kernel then reboot. So since I noticed that the build number changed for me I assume that I did update. If not please let me know what build you have listed in About Phone. ThanksThanks

Sent from My Captivated CM7 Gingerbread
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
My build id is different. Check by seeing if cpu settings in the cm settings works, as that was fixed in the latest update.
[Captivate Android Development] apples2droids:
So if I wanna update my nightly to the 0311 does this need to be done through odin? Or can I just download it to my phone and flash the zip from cwm? And what's the md5 file. I only ask the noob questions cause I managed to brick my phone this morning and had to work some sweet odin magic on it. Thanks dev team. :)
[Captivate Android Development] elghouchd:
Can anyone help me I cant find the latest version of the initial.zip. I can only find the cm7-captivate-initial-20110304.zip, but the latest one is 20110311. Or is it I download that zip then update myself all the way to 20110311? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
All updates are cwm flashable. The md5 file just contains the md5 hash of the zip, used for ensuring the integrity of your download.

Also, v3 of my oc kernel is up, with UV support, in case anyone is interested. :D
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Use the initial flash instructions and flash the initial zip, kernel etc that is there. Once you are done with the initial flash, you can update by just using the very latest update.zip available.
[Captivate Android Development] everest.deth:
Hey, quick question here :P anybody knows a good oced kernel i can combine thid with? I noticed that tge stock kernel has stock cpu clocks :(

Running great so far though, only tjing i miss is the camera features on stock samsung rom

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Escapist has an oc kernel. In captivate development

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] elghouchd:
So are the nightlies cumulative?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No, asked this myself. Once you are in the base you can flash any update

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Here's a link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982337 :D

Latest update added uv support.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
If your phone it the one in your sig do not flash Escapist kernel as it is only for the captivate and you will not like the results you get. Or someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Anyone else having problems with WiFi? When I try to turn it on, it gets stuck and in the menu it'll just say "Error" and refuse to turn on. I can do logcats if it helps.

Also, does the stock CM7 kernel contain the extra reallocated RAM of kernels like Speedmod, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
md5 is just useful if you know how to use md5sums to verify downloads (google tools like "hashtab" or "gtkhash")

initial remains the same, update will bring you up2date

340 MB of RAM stock, wifi error means you are either using an old build or flashed a kernel without bringing over the appropriate kernel modules (tun.ko, cifs.ko, and bcm4329.ko)
[Captivate Android Development] everest.deth:
No, its for a friend's phone (a cap :) )

Btw thanks for the info guys :D

[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I'm assuming that if he's posting in here, he has a captivate. Obviously though, if he is running a glacier, it will not work on his phone.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Will the themes from lets say nexus S forum on cyanogen work on this? This is prob a dumb question but i dont know.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Anything using the theme engine will be fine, anything based off the Nexus S framework is playing with fire. If you try it, just take a copy of all the frameworks it replaces, like framework-res.apk, and if you bootloop, just reboot into recovery, mount /system, and push your backups into the correct places.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
So i take its not as simple has just moving it to ur internal storage and installing from zip?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Yeah, just make backups of your framework-res.apk first, in cause it doesn't work and you bootloop.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
how do i populate the theme switcher tho?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
If it its compatible you download and install the apk. go to theme app and it should be there

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Does root manager allow you to rename an apk within /system dir?

I've always used super manager to copy the apk for a backup, but wanted to find out if it was easy as just making a backup of the apk from within the root sir

Sorry I know this isn't dev related to the thread
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
anybody know whats in the latest nightly "update-cm-7-03112011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip"?
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
They

are

cumulative. If you flash the latest one it contains all the fixes that all the previous nightlies contain.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
from: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...d-7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-experimental/

03112011

- disabled extended JNI checks (Skype)

- modifications on SGSTheme
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I guess we are conflicting on definition. I meant you do not need to flash all updates in sequence

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Yeah I figured that's what you meant it's just people seem to be mixing up the definition of cumulative. I'm just trying to make sure it is as clear as possible so there isn't any more confusion.
[Captivate Android Development] jweitzel24:
I've been getting fc's on Google goggles and then the camera will fc until I reboot. Just started after the last update, not nightly. Anyone seeing something similar?
[Captivate Android Development] Asraiil:
Yeah, I noticed the same thing. I originally couldn't open the camera, but it worked fine once I rebooted. Then when I tried to use google goggles, I had the FC problem, and couldn't use the camera on any application until I rebooted.
[Captivate Android Development] mmm_tacos:
I am as well. I am on the "03102011-NIGHTLY"

Here is my error from just Goggles (full error). Camera throws a java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service error after it crashes in Goggles.
[Captivate Android Development] gleonard3:
Camera all black, and Goggles FC's for me too. Nightly 3/11.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
does the phone show an h like some of the samsung roms or just 3g like stock samsung? i want to know if i should switch my modem
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
3/11 nightly and camera working. Takes a few seconds to come on but working normally.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
H will show
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
k thanks. what modem u on? i usually have jk4 going with other roms and i'm on the default jl3 with this one
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
another question. whenever i restore user apps and data from TiBu, my home and search button stop working. any ideas what could be the problem? i am going to try uninstalling all apps and then just restore missing ones (or should i just do user apps no data?) but if anyone knows what to do that'd be great

edit: this is the second time this has happened
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Default jl3. Are you not seeing the H?
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
I restored missing apps with data and have had no issues. Are you sure you flashed the initial rom package for the captivate? Flashing any of the other packages can mess up your button mapping.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
ya it was the captivate and everything was fine until the restore. i got it working with a wipe and now gonna just try doing missing apps

EDIT: i restored missing apps with data and rebooted. as of now everything is working as it should! thanks man!
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I'm on JK4 and mine shows H, I get about 16-20 hours on battery with this modem in my area.:)
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
That's pretty good. Maybe I need to try jk4. No issues with jl3 at all but battery life needs improvement.
[Captivate Android Development] gleonard3:
Tried Goggles?
[Captivate Android Development] blazin619:
I cant find the free version of the xda app on the market...
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
I've had that problem since first installing CM7
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Same here. Just the premium version shows. Even when I go to my apps on the market it says I have the free version installed but when I click on it it says its unavailable. Maybe its been phased out.
[Captivate Android Development] mkoby:
I too am getting the FC when I open Goggles. If I open the camera before I open Goggles, then the camera works fine. If I open Goggles, I get the FC and have to reboot the device before the camera will work again. But no matter what, opening Goggles causes the FC and a reboot is needed to get the camera working again.

I've linked to the full logcat and attached one that has just the goggles pieces.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Just dl Goggles and same thing. Force close and camera borks.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
the free version is temporarily down due to troubleshooting a bug. its not cm7
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
its says to do a nandroid backup from recovery before applying any update. where can i find this option from the recovery menu? is it just the option under backup and restore/backup or is there a separate option for it?

EDIT: nevermind, i guess i cant seem to read heading :/
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
Just installed CM7. Installed ROM manager to get into recovery. I can't get into recovery mode thru ROM manager. How to install the 3 button fix or install APP market?Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
for 3 button fix there is an apk you can download, not sure if you can still do it after the flash though, and download gapps for market. you need cwm to flash gapps tho so you might have to flash to stock or another rom to start over, then install 3 button fix if u need it, then you can get market
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
Where to get the 3 button APK?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Search and ask around. I couldn't find it in a quick search I did but I've definetely seen around. Also to get into recovery, are you timing it right and doing volume down, volume up, then power ( releasing as soon as the at&t logo pops up)?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Hey does anybody have the apk for the honeycomb music player?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:

Stable enough yet for daily use?

THIS IS REALLY EXCITING!!!!

WOW GINGERBREAD!!! :D

Now i just read thru atleast 50+ pages...but i couldnt go on anymore...(cuz im half alseep)

MY question is, and forgive me for asking, is how is the stability on this!?!?!

I dont see many complaints as far as stability goes!

My swype on my cog 3.04 just expired (didnt kno tat could happen :()

But now i need to flash my rom again!

So is this recommended for day-to-day reliablilty? or should i stick with the latest cognition for stability?

I would love to try Gingerbread! but i NEED my phone for stability, that is my primary goal. followed by battery life of course!

So my simple question (yes i know was a long post lol) Is:

Is this rom Stable enough for everyday use, or is it still buggy to the point that I should just wait til they work out the kinks?

?

I am still considered a noob when it comes to flashing, and Android for the most part. (just switched from winmo in december lol)

Thanks for any input! :)

Good night/good morning 3:30 am EST!!!! :eek:

P.S: I JUST WANTED TO GIVE MAJOR PROPS TO THE DEV ON THIS ONE!!! TAKING US TO THE NEXT LEVEL ON OUR CAPTIVATES!!! (Gingerbread status! SWEET!)
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
So how do I bring those over? Or do I just need to flash a new kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Stick to Froyo ROMs. This isn't unstable per se, but it's very easy to **** something up if you don't know what you're doing. I know what I'm doing and have been flashing ROMs for months and stuff still randomly goes wrong, even if I do everything exactly right. It's sort of a trial and error thing. It really is an amazing ROM though, the best I've ever used, and every mistake I make just teaches me something new.

Bottom line: if you want the best, do it. But be prepared to take the time and have the patience to deal with any problems that you might have.
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
I tried installing cm7 it took me about 2 hours until I gave up. Followed instructions word for word. It would just stay at the cm boot screen for a very longg time I tried reflashing 3 times to no avail. Odin would freeze a lot on my computer running XP 32 bit. Ohwell :/
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
You need to format your cache, system, and data. Then reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] xnoctis93:
the instructions are word for word very straightforward...i didn't skim through it though, just went step by step, and everything has worked perfectly on the first try. greatest rom i have ever used, ran into so few bugs, and even then I couldn't go back to any other rom now. if you want to give it a try, go for it, but follow the instructions carefully or things might go south
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Search for honeycomb music player and find the evo CM thread - the apk is on post #3.. sorry I cant attach with xda app

And the honeycomb music player works great btw :)
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
you can go back to another rom by odin stock and starting over... it's in the instructions... thought u didnt skim...
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Installed with no problems, looks really good and it's fast. However, after TiBu restore of apps only, phone app went in continuous Fc loop. Had to jig to get back to current Rom. Looking forward to next update.

A 3 button apk? That's a new one for me. Are you referring to this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812434

This is a simple fix for the 3 button through recovery, which it seems you can't get into. But seriously though, this has been discussed quite a bit in this thread and the warnings etc. Why would you flash this before being sure you had 3 button combo?
