Have you uninstalled the Samsung drivers? I don't know if that's the issue or not, but it couldn't hurt.

Although the more I think about it, I have also heard that download mode may actually use the Samsung drivers even on CM7. I don't know if this is true or not.

Also make sure you're using the stock USB cable and a plug in the back of your computer. Good luck!

Simple question I cannot find the answer to. I modded my Cappy with CM7 before I left for overseas. I don't have internet that I can connect my own personal computer to and my mobile laptop is a macbook anyway. I was on Daily's before I left and cannot connect anywhere to update.

Can I expect to just download the latest daily once I get back online or do I have to load one at a time?

Kind of off topic, but I wonder if the recent example set by Sony Ericson working with the FreeXperia team to provide kernel modules and source to get CM 7.1 working on most SE Android phones could give Team Hacksung any leverage with Samsung...

It would be great if Samsung (and others) would follow SE's example and actively support the Android Open Source development community.

Did you restore any system components (including camera) from a Titianum Backup? If so that is your issue. Do a factory reset and only use TiBU to restore non-system app and data.

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

Giving Team Hacksung new SGS II's is a nice gesture, but it doesn't show as much commitment to the open source community as contributing code and/or modules does.

At this point there are only a few things left that do not work the same between stock Samsung firmware and CM (audience, power management, TV-out and maybe a few others I am not thinking of). Hopefully support for the audience chip will come with the release of official GB for the i897 and the source code for it. But indications have been that power management is as good as it will get without help from Samsung either in the form of custom compiled modules for CM, or open sourcing parts of their user space code where they inexplicably put some of the driver code.

Kaik, please correct me if I am wrong on anything above. I may have misunderstood (or be mis-remembering) something that Atinm has said in the past.

Cant Keep Battery Life!!!

Hey guys, I have a question....

I have my Captivate with the latest "CM7 ROM" and "Glitch-V12" kernel version with built number "GWK74". My battery life wont last more than 4hrs with the CPU set at 1Ghz maximum and 400MHz minimum. So I was wondering if there is something that I'm not doing right???

Oh and not to mention I turn off my wifi, bluetooth, GPS, and my screen is always set to minimum...

:mad:

Its been like this since day one! (released date last year).

Please if you can HELP, would be really appreciated!

Love XDA! :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Since your using a third party kernel it's best to ask in that thread. But I would suggest setting 100mhz for your min. Make sure your kernel is up to date also (v12b3). Check your about phone and battery use.. see what's going on there. Clear data for any apps that seem to be using alot if the battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJareBear:
I've also read that most 3rd party kernels don't address the battery bug that plagued the early nightlies. If you run the stock CM7 kernel battery life will be normal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Its possible I guess. I get a full day (8-10hrs) of use with a high OC and medium usage- using a third party kernel. I think there are so many factors. Even some guys all stock are having battery issues so... beats me :p

So, after several hours of trying I got desperate enough to post asking for help.

I installed Cyanogenmod 7.1 on my Captivate, went through the usual process as described on the Wiki. Went from stock 2.2, installed the Hardcore's Speedmod kernel, flashed CM7 through Recovery.

Everything went perfect, until I had to install Google Apps.

Basically my phone will get stuck on the boot screen (the one with the blue CM7 logo and the animation) and absolutely nothing I do will get out from it. I already tried flashing from scratch 3 times, I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything correctly. I tried wiping the cache e dalvik between the ROM and Gapps, I tried fixing permissions, but virtually nothing helps. Google didn't help much either.

I'm desperate, CM7 looks fantastic (had some time to test it before flashing the Gapps on the first time). Can anyone help me here? Is this kernel related? Maybe installing another kernel after the Gapps would solve the problem?

Problems of this ROM.

- Auto brightness is not working.

- External SD Card (4gb) is invisible (many people having this problem)

- Market is not working (I installed .apk file of market)

- "Call" button is not appearing after unsuccessful call. (to call again immediately)

- There is no option which could write and save another contact

during

active call. (there was no such option on other ROMs too:))

- Finally, T9 searching of dialer. I cant live without it.

Advantages.

- Very friendly call-in menus.

- It is really fast.

- And beautiful.

- Many tweaks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
-Auto brightness is working here with no issues

-External 1Gb and my 16Gb is working good. It is listed under months/emmc

-market you HAVE TO install gapps NOT just the API file

-I don't have a problem with the CALL BUTTON but I do see a delay if you don't first put it to your face and then pull it away

-I will have to test it out later but I think while.in a call I put the call on speaker phone, hit the home button, open dialer with the phone symbol, dial the number, then hit a + button, then save as new contact. Again I will ha e to test it out but I am kind of going off memory

-I too wish we had something in the dialer that as you started to dial it would show the names associated with the numbers being dialed kind.of like how when typing in a name in the message contacts the name would come up. If you NEED IT though you can use DIALER ONE from the market. I have used.it and.it works. But I like how the rest of the stock dialer works so I went back to the stock dialer.

Mosaic VI to CM7.1

I went ahead and documented the steps i took to change my phone. I hope it helps some out. Will see what this CM7.1 is all about

I successfully upgrade to CM7.1 from Mosaic VI.

(On the GB Bootloaders)

These were the steps I went through to get everything working.

1: I needed to get back to Stock for the CM7.1 Package to install. I was getting an error message trying to just use the CWM Darkcore Recovery to install the package. My theory is that it does a check to make sure you are installing the correct package, and since Mosaic is running on I9000, it failed the check.

This also crippled Mosiac. It would boot, but things would not function, so i went ahead and used this from Adam Outler

http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1266172

2. I really wanted to avoid flashing bootloaders unless it was absolutely necessary. So i went and picked the rooted package and made sure bootloaders were unchecked.

I did not expect the phone to boot, i really thought it would go into a boot loop. Somehow it booted to a Stock Kernal 2.2 and completely functioning.

3. I needed to get clockwork installed; I attempted to just flash it through the CWM app, this of course failed. I have one of those phones with the 3e annoyance.

Went ahead and followed the steps provided in the wiki. Used Heimdall to flash the speed kernal that had Clockwork installed.

4. With that installed it was a breeze, select the package from Recovry on your SD card.

5. Next thing you know CM7.1 is on the phone.

6. I did have some quirky issues getting GApps on, but it finally took and I am sailing with Cm7.1

Hope this was helpful.
