[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
That's definitely not normal. I haven't read of any problem like this and don't experience it myself. Maybe you got a bad download or had a bad flash...If you just came to CM from stock and you still have everything backed up, it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to go back to stock and try a reinstall with fresh downloads.
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
After 2 months of updating nightlies, I decided to flash back to stock and start with CM7 from scratch with build 15. I am glad I did. It's a lot smoother now.
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
I've been considering doing this too as I was not experiencing the same "smoothness" as everyone else. Ever since mainline though, the overall performance has been steadily increasing...may still do this tonight just feel all refreshed.

If you don't mind, can you keep us up to date on how things run after a little bit of usage?
[Captivate Android Development] g1ddy:
I noticed that installing and upgrading instructions the hard way are the same. This doesn't mean that when you upgrade that it'll wipe your phone does it?

It says that apps are automatically backed up but will I lose app/user data?
[Captivate Android Development] MentalDragon:
Yeah. This has been doing it since 13. I didn't stay on 14 long because of no Mic. I guess ill go back to stock and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] demonte21:
Loving this rom so far!!

I had try CM7 in the past... and I got a new issue. The 2 small arrow close to the 3G (or H) are not lighting up when transfering data... they always stay dark... like i'm not transferring anything. Other then that, it's #1 :-)

Battery life also look better then in the beginnin ! Great work.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
i was wondering this as well, does the zip act differently if you are coming from cm7 as opposed to coming from stock?
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
Same issues on 15 and 16. What the hell? Would a logcat help in this case? I looked it over and didn't see anything that looked out of the ordinary. But them again, I'm not a dev. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Are you using any kernels that haven't been updated to the latest modem code?

My latest (stable) update isn't compatible with the new ril, older versions of platypus aren't either, kangs isn't, and tkglitch's im not sure about.
[Captivate Android Development] CougarBroker:
Is there a complete unfragmented list of modems that are CM7 compliant anywhere, or can you use the i9000 modems?
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
Nope. Plain ol' CM7 kernel that comes with the nightlies.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Yeah, it looks like it checks to see if the partitions are bml or mtd and repartition/wipe only if needed.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
where can i get jp9 from i didn't see it in the modem thread

that's what i'm wondering also
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Then you should grab a dmesg, and head over to the CM irc channel. Coolya was looking for people with your bug for testing.
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
There's a link in the FAQ (which is linked in atinm's sig if you can't find it). The link will take you to the i9000 modems though for some reason. So when you get there just hit "parent directory" and select captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
Where can I Get jp9 modem ? Do I just grab it from the.modem section of the captivate thread can I use those modems as long its cwm3 compatible?
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
I answered that question in the post that is literally right above yours...
[Captivate Android Development] iakovl:
the sync is always turns ON even after i turn it OFF... kill the battery
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
Sounds fun, will do sometime tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] georgem106:
I noticed the same thing but if you give it time (1-2 minutes) it does go into service. I asked about it earlier.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
If your baseband doesn't say "unknown", you're talking about something totally different.
[Captivate Android Development] lexo1a:
okay i need assistance plz i just soft bricked from going from cm7 nightly 16 to my cwm backup of official 2.2. the screen went to the at&t logo while checking md5 removed battery and same thing stuck at logo good thing is that i can enter download mode so how should i go about restoring to 2.2 ji6 i have the odin one click for that
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
Just put it in download mode and run the one click.
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
You have to use Odin with repartition to go back to stock.

I recommend just doing an odin 1click.
[Captivate Android Development] The Boxinator:
I am still at build 15, Not a single bug for me. Although occasionally my Touch sensitive's cease to function. Rarely though.
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
In the notification bar for the data, does anyone else's arrow not light up when data is being sent/received? (Nightly #16)
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
There are pills for that now...

;)
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Known bug with kangs style of led notification. Teamhacksung hasn't tracked it down/worked on it yet, and I use the bln style, so for now just lock and unlock.

Bug with the new ril layer.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
is there a major difference between the modems that were uploaded back in march (jk3, jk4, jl2, jl3) and the ones that were uploaded more recently (jk9, jpg, jp9, jvo) other than the more more recent uploads being the newer modems? will they all work with the captivate? having to enable certain bands and what not is a tad confusing, so id like the newest one that just works the best with the cappy. not best as in quality of signal, but best as in i dont have to enable a band or anything.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Other than cyanogen, aren't the base roms pretty much the same, no matter which rom you use? It seems like most roms are made by taking a kernel and a modem, adding samsung's android firmware (the same version that would come in new unrooted phones), and then finishing it off with a theme. It seems like most of the tweaks/motifications beyond this are so small as to be almost trival, like turing on USB debugging mode automatically or turning voodoo lagfix off.
[Captivate Android Development] echonc:
I don't believe this to be the issue, I also cant mount it to my Macbook. I was able to do mount on both my PC and MAC after install this morning... I guess I will try to go over every setting I played with and see if I can figure it out.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
My bad battery life seems to be mostly because of cell stand by and voice calls. I was on the phone for about 20 minutes and it drained a lot of battery. Should I try a different modem. I also randomly lose service with jk4 modem but with every other rom this has always been the best modem for my phone. The Jl2 modem has been more reliable.

I have heard the KB1 modem is rough, what exactly does that mean?
[Captivate Android Development] yoni45:
Sounds good -- here goes!
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I lost about 4-5% when I placed a 20 minute call usig the JK4 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
There are differences though. Some mods are based on the i9000 2.2.1 framework, kernel, and sources from Samsung, while others stick with 2.2 KB1 released specifically for the Captivate. Some ROMs try to strip as much as possible out of the Samsung supplied version, and replace it with prebuilt AOSP equivalents, while most others try to stay close to stock, and focus on bug fixes, performance tweaks, and adding missing functionality. In the end though, these are all top down approaches. They are helpless without a release of firmware and source code from Samsung for a Galaxy S device.

CM7 is a bottom up approach, which starts by compiling AOSP code from Google, which is not specific to any device other than Nexus S/Nexus One. The compiled code is then refined by testing it on our specific hardware, and making it work. Samsung pre-built parts (like the modem) seem to only be added if there is no other open source equivalent.

Once the code stabilizes, CM7 will have some benefit for us in the time being, with more timely updates to the code base until Samsung comes out with their 2.3.x releases. At that point in time the tweaked versions of Samsung Gingerbread releases still may work better than CM7, just like the tweaked 2.2.x Samsung codes most of as are used to up to now worked better than CM 6.1.

Once Samsung stops supporting our phones, the future developments in CM8+ or other similar AOSP projects will however be far more important, as we will have no other way to get security fixes or new functionality added by Google to android ported to our devices. This is how people have gotten Honeycomb to run on the G1, long since it's been abandoned by T-Mobile.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yes, which is why there was a huge push/desire for CM. if you want to know more about cyanogenmod, please go to www.cyanogenmod.com and read up some. a repackaged samsung ROM was made 100% doable due to the devs at samsung, the extra kernels are the result of those developers modifying samsung's source (still useful and without a doubt immeasurably creative). for instance, while mikeymike01 does a lot of good stuff for the end users, it still primarily the work of samsung (though his tweaks are definitely good and his theming thorough). cyanogenmod comes completely from android open source (except for the modems)

KB1 modem has no voice processing or HSUPA, it's only useful if you can't use i9000 modems due to a lack of connectivity.
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
Oh thanks a ton, its working great!
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
I have noticed that I can't change to indicator color in the notification power widget the color it shows that its set too isn't the color that there
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Is it ever possible for us to rid ourselves of the Samsung modems? The i9000 modems seem to add HSUPA, but cause lost connection for me from time to time. The Audience chip is also only present on i897, so we lose the use of it by moving to a i9000 modem. Is a modem such a complex beast, that it cannot be built from the ground up?
[Captivate Android Development] Inzombie:
one problem more, the status icons (wifi,etc) turn color gray =/ any solution?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the light gray background causes it to look a bit washed out... unless that color changes it'll look a little lighter than it should

in short, yes... companies spend millions of dollars in research and trial and error to get modems that work half as well as the ones we have (even the iPhone is a good example of a constant-work-in-progress baseband)

sync a google account to your phone and they'll turn green
[Captivate Android Development] Pikabob:
I am sorry if this had already been asked, but is anyone else getting really low fps on quadrant?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:

JL2 modem works really well for a lot of people. I don't have any lost connection, bluetooth, or call issues.
[Captivate Android Development] echonc:
just got my phone to recognize on both my PC and my MAC again. Dunno what exactly was the issue. To fix it I performed several reboots of the phone, and when that didnt work I booted into recovery and just reboot system from there. When it booted everything was working again I am now able to mount the phone on both computers again. Just wanted to give the Devs this info in case anyone else has this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Pikabob:
Sorry for asking again then, thank you very much.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
My normal install procedure goes like this:

So that's about 4 more steps for me.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
jesus if it kills you so much then don't flash it!

What did you do going from eclair to froyo, throw a .zip on there and flash it? I know when I went from eclair to froyo (cognition 2.2, like 2nd day after the leak) it took a hell of a lot more work than this. Gingerbread seems to be a fairly significant change in structure. Plus this is built from android sources. Don't want to put in the effort? Fine, but thats on you. Don't blame these devs that worked so hard.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Everything is working perfectly for me...just a small Q. what should be the path to backup folder in TiBu if I want it to store on external sd. I tried emmc/TitaniumBackup and mnt/emmc/TitaniumBackup but didnt work Or I should have it on the internalSD only?

Thanks.

tethering not working

is anyone else having problems with tethering? I haven't been able to get wifi or usb tethering to work on the last couple of builds. Last one that worked was 9 I think. Everything connects correctly and I can even make successful dns requests but I can't actually open any connections.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes it looks like it's broken. I can't load any web pages either.
[Captivate Android Development] n0stalgia:
Anyone else getting excruciatingly slow download speeds on the latest nightly (#16)? Despite having HSPA, I am getting speeds <40kb/s
[Captivate Android Development] Pcsrule:
nope, I'm getting about 500KB/s down and 160 KB/s up on HSDPA. I'm on the JL3 modem. Maybe try rebooting and then maybe a different modem if that doesn't work. Could also just be that you're in a very congested area.

[Captivate Android Development] insanejoe:
Why do i keep getting

What else do i need to do?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
you shouldn't have to choose anything (aside from checking the boxes as it prompts you for wipes and backups and GApps) if your doing it the easy way. ROMManager should do it all for you. Also, if I'm understanding you right your in the 3eRecovery? is that a blue menu or green?
[Captivate Android Development] insanejoe:
Blue menu,

Im trying to figure out what im doing wrong
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
yeah.. If your in recovery to flash the ROM manually you want clockworkmod recovery. It would be green. But if your using ROMManager it should do it automatically. So lets back up. Did you come from 2.1, or 2.2? stock or custom ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] insanejoe:
I flashed it back to 2.2, but i was running Darkys rom just a few hours ago.

should i do a MASTER CLEAR?
[Captivate Android Development] arcardinal:
If you are still in 3e recovery, take the update.zip that I've attached to this post. Put it on the root of your SD card. Now go into recovery and click reinstall packages. You'll probably have to do it twice. You will now be in clockwork recovery. Choose install from SD card. Flash rom.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
If you want to wipe your sd cards;) Try the "hard" way. It's really not that hard if you know how to flash a ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] insanejoe:
Shall i reboot into recovery using Rom Manager or something else?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
you can try.. might just put you in the wrong recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
everything seems perfect on the latest for me, except that the render effects go back to none after each reboot... weird...
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Going back to stock just wipes everything and loads an antiquated OS on that will just be copied over anyway, right?

What are the benefits of "flashing back to stock" that wouldn't also be realized from flashing the latest nightly and performing the "wipe data/factory reset" in recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
I cannot make nightly #16 work for me. I've flashed it multiple time and I get no service. Had to go back to #13. I know its been mentioned but didn't see a fix.

Used wifi tethering for about an hour with no issues last night on build 15. Flashed 16 today and I'm now experiencing your same symptoms.

Oddly I flashed back to 15 and the problem persists.
[Captivate Android Development] Pcsrule:
I noticed that too, It doesn't start working on older builds unless I do a factory reset and clear dalvik cache or flash to stock. Must be something stored in the data partition. Last time there was a problem with tethering it was because of some change in the ip tables used for tethering, which aren't stored in the data partition... weird. Oh well, perhaps the next nightly, everything else is working like a dream.
[Captivate Android Development] Pcsrule:

Can anyone confirm that the camera app is force closing on build 16 when you switch to video mode? Unsure if this happened on 15 as well.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
can anyone comment on whether our not their render effects stick after a reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Flash back jf6(?) With Odin. You need to use 2e recovery insted of 3e.
[Captivate Android Development] Pcsrule:
Just tried it, they don't stick but then again I don't know if they ever did. That's what the widget is for! Just add the renderfx widget to your home screen and use that if you reboot.

[Captivate Android Development] The Boxinator:
In my opinion as of Build 15, not 16 It has become a stable, reliable, speedy, Daily Driver. I messed with the camera for a full 6 hours of testing. Checked with Wi-Fi stayed on that, no problems. As I mentioned earlier the Touch sensitive buttons cease to function, from what I've heard they've been tracking that down. But yeah, CM7 is a great Daily Driver IMO.

Speaking from a Captivate Running CM7 build 15.
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
Make sure you reboot, I used adfree and it works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Hickeroar:
By definition, none of the releases can be considered stable. There are still many many unresolved, known issues (even up to #16), such as:

- Wifi dropping in and out (count yourself lucky for not having this issue).

- Choosing to format an external SD card will instead format the internal sd card.

- The lighting of the touch sensitive buttons which is a battery life drain.

- Occasionally the whole screen stops responding to touch and you have to turn the screen on and off to fix it.

- I see abnormally low signal strength and sensitivity all over the place, dropped calls, etc.

Until issues like these are resolved, there's no way this could be considered stable. Stable means supportable, production quality code, with no major known issues. We're close, but I'd be surprised if they went "stable" within a month.
[Captivate Android Development] PresidentJFJ:
Ya my phone also does this. The battery doesn't drain particularly fast while the phone is in use but it doesn't adequately save battery when its asleep. This is the one thing I hope they fix real soon
[Captivate Android Development] The Boxinator:
:P I'm a lucky man then. No wi-fi drops My signal is superb, no droped calls, as of yet. My text are sent relatively fast. My screen has never stoped functioning only the bottom buttons. As for the SD card thing. Yeah that one i'm not gonna test >_>
[Captivate Android Development] mortuus.x:
Me three. I lost 63% battery overnight last night. I woke up to find my battery completely drained after 11 hours of use, most of which was a) Display b) Android System. I'm on #13, but I'm contemplating moving to #16. I start my cycle of oncall as of Friday and I'm a bit worried about using CM as my daily driver given the above. The rest of issues are of minor annoyance for me. Battery life (and consequently what I would consider part of stability) however is. I'm loving using CM, I just don't want to get in shi1t for missing a critical alert or something.

I guess I could just plug the phone in at night too, but doing that indefinitely will probably kill the battery. Mind you, I could probably expense that ;-)

Thoughts on 16 and battery life anyone? Better/worse/exactly the same as previous builds?
