Any way to restore Status/Notification Bar Brightness Control?

Hi

In other ROMS and stock you can long press on the status/notification bar and slide left to dim the screen and right to brighten, and I found this great for on the fly brightness adjustments but seems to have been lost in the move to CM7...does anyone know if there is any way to restore this feature?

While using Vignette, the gallery app force closes when you try to view pictures from it's saved folder. When you view those same pictures via opening the gallery app, it's perfectly fine, any reason why?

Hi. I'm using the latest update and using an overclocked kernel at 1.3gHz. I'm using the jk4 modem I believe. My question is, Im only using 2G in my area in the US so, is there a better modem for my conditions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
All the modems can do 3G (UMTS & HSDPA). The i9000 modems can also do HSUPA. If you only have 2G service, you can disabled data and then use the 3G/2G toggle to put the phone on 2G only in order to save battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
you must use the ones available on sourceforge, other ones available in this forum will *NOT* work.

part of AOSP, every other ROM you've ever run until now was Samsung. meaning the dialer, the contacts, even the messaging app were "Samsung Apps"

use android_id changer from the marketplace

logcat or it didn't happen. also, read the known issues on the issue tracker.

samsung feature... it wasn't "lost", it was never a part of CM7. won't come back unless it's integrated into cyanogenmod.

again, this ROM is work in progress/beta, if you aren't capable of dealing with the reduced quality (for now), then go back to samsung. this ROM isn't going to be for everyone while they're still working through the bugs...

modem usage is different for every person, try them out until you find the one you want.

Flashing the speedmod-kernel fails

I downloaded the speedmod-kernel, followed all directions starting from the stock rom 2.1. Three times I opened Odin 7 looked for the file then hit start it goes through the process and eventually fails, i get a red fail notice upper left hand corner.

then, the phone goes into mobile icon and computer icon with an exclamation point in the middle, then, it bricks. Cant do anything to get of it, so i wind up having to reinstall the stock mod, I now hve the 2.2 Froyo installed using Odin.

What am i doing wrong, I even followd the Mobile Tech video step by step, when I go to load the speedmod kernel, which is really the beginning of the process, no go, fails! The kernel does state at the download site that it is intended to be used with froyo 2.2 stock, so even tried having froyo 2.2. stock on the Captivate, and same problem.

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
Try using a different USB port on your computer, or a different computer altogether.

You may also have a bad/corrupt download for the speedmod kernel, have you tried re-downloading it?

You could also try starting from a different custom ROM installed through CWR. As long as you start with a ROM that includes a version of CWR that supports EXT4 (most voodoo lagfix enabled custom roms include such a version of CWR) you should be able to go directly to CM7 starting at the EFS backup step. I started from Cognition 4.0 (I have heard you can't start at Cognition 4.2).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
repartition must be selected and must be using an applicable USB port (no usb hubs, on a desktop, must be one of the ones on the back that is connected to the motherboard)

that was a hack to samsung's camera, the power button will put the phone to sleep always in this ROM. the camera has a built in feature to use the vol up/down to take a pic (or zoom), but has not been implemented yet.

read first response

you must not have looked hard as I've personally answered this many times. the bars are white when you don't have a connection to google (or haven't synced a google account) and green when you have a verified connection to google with your google account.

disable data connection, make sure to toggle 2G/3G, then reenable data connection.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abezapata:
I have been scratching my head for days with this now. So if the bootloader cannot be modified and/or used to boot into download mode how can I flash back to another captivate rom? My three button combo works as I have had my captivate since release so that is not an issue. the issue is when i plug my phone into the usb port it automatically turns on so it skips my three button combo (for download mode since recovery mode doesnt need usb).

If anybody can help me that would be great! I really like this rom but I would rather wait until it becomes a bit more stable. I have been running it since day one so I have had my share of them already.

EDIT: I just figured it out. Thanks anyway guys.

Is it okay if I upload these in the modem thread?

They have CM7 in the filenames because they are on CM7-friendly format...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
you can still clearly get into download mode, the inability to use "adb reboot download" and "adb reboot recovery" has nothing to do with the bootloader, but the "param magic" as it's called, which is related to param.lfs and is passed from param.lfs to the kernel (is my understanding) as to which way to boot.

there was a similar problem with the leaked froyo builds, never really looked into it as it never affected me. the only way to get your original android_id back is to flash to stock, copy the ID (not sure of how, look elsewhere for that), and then flash back to CM7 and use "android_id changer" to put it back as it was.

I don't see why anyone would mind, feel free, but be sure to specify they are for CM7 only and people shouldn't attempt to use them for any other ROM's.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomzoomkg:
I've re-downloaded the kernel from source forge. I then put phone in download mode and connected to Odin3 v1.00, then selected the newly redownloaded .tar file into the PDA field. In Odin3 v1.00 I had everything unchecked except pda (obviously for the tar file) and "F. Reset Time" which i left checked.

Now as I type this, Odin is stuck on a blue "reset!" box. I just pulled the battery and closed Odin. Then I rebooted into recovery and and it is still Pink. so i went ahead and installed from sd card anyways and of course the op sys installs great but retains the ridiculous unusable blue domination :(

as for the problem, I really don't know how that'll be debugged without logcats, dmesg, as well as a slew of other things (I bet you'd have better luck if the phone was in the devs hand)... you're the only one reporting this and it's unusual as hell to see =/

the only thing unusual I see is that when I did initial kernel in ODIN mine said "PASS!" not reset, and you shouldn't have to pull the battery (just hold vol up, vol down, and power for about 15 seconds). have you perhaps flashed a different sbl.bin (other than the one made by designgears?)

I was asking about the hardware revision. You can find this information by pulling the battery and looking for a number located directly below the "S/N:" text. Mine is a 1007 (for example).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
Go to "Settings | About Phone | Status" and look at "Mobile network type."

Alternatively, if you think the information from above my be "inaccurate," use the speedtest.net app to see what your download and upload speeds are. Anything past 1500 or so down indicates HSDPA, anything past around 350 up indicates HSUPA.

It has been reported by Rogers/i896 owners that the H icon does not show up, but they do get HSPA speeds.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
I think there are other people running CM7 on a rev 1010, but I am not sure. Maybe someone else who has a 1010 will post that it is working fine for them.

I am just trying to rule out any possibility that there is a difference in the screen in a newer revision that needs a different kernel driver to work properly. I don't think that is likely at all, but when troubleshooting you need to look at every possibility.

As as said before, the colors you are seeing makes it seem that the green LEDs in the samoled display are not lighting up. Red and blue make colors like red, blue, pink and purple, but it is impossible to make green, orange, yellow, or white without green in a RGB display. I am pretty sure that adding some green to the strange pink in your CWR screen would turn it to orange.

I suppose it's POSSIBLE to try and run Nexus S ROM's, but there are edits to the framework that can't exactly "just work" as is to behave properly with our phones... it's likely to be buggy at best and the ROM's are AOSP anyway, so any fixes would likely be identical to CM fixes.

Or you can try adb push to /mnt/emmc/ instead of /sdcard/ and also, in the REGULAR file browser, you cant go to "ext_sdcard" to get to it... you HAVE to go to /mnt/emmc
