I use font changer from the market. Then just copy any .ttf font file into its directory and you can view them and change them with the app.

Use Odin, restart phone into Download mode (disconnect everything, pull battery and replace, hold vol + & vol - at the same time, plug in usb)

Select PDA then navigate to the initial kernel. Click Start.

I'm having a problem running .AVI files.

I know that you can change the CMParts.apk from an older build to a newer one to have LED notifications, but what else does CMParts.apk contain? More so, does CMParts.apk ever get significant updates (such as in the later builds compared to let's say build #16)?

I'm getting no ringtone or notification tones when a call or message/email comes in. The tones also won't play in the tone selection menus. Speaker works fine for music and when I set the ringtone volume level w/ the rocker, it makes the beep letting you know what the volume is. I'm on #23 but it happened after I flash #20 from #9. Any ideas? I have this feeling that it's a setting but I just can't figure it out...

Going back to stock and starting over isn't the most pleasant experience with no 3-button recovery but I will if I have to.

Edit: Problem solved.

Hello all. I recently flashed CM7, personalized a few things in the CM7 settings, and rebooted. Everything was fine, except after rebooting. Now, I keep getting the FC with com.android.phone. I've read that this could happen because of battery saving apps so I froze Juice Defender with Titanium Backup. Still no luck. I want to go back to stock and start all over again and I've been searching and searching on how to do this from CM7. I read that the Odin One-Click doesn't work from CM7 and I can't find the right .tar and .pit files use the full version of Odin.

In the FAQs it says to just flash the full firmware. Is the 512 one the .pit I need? What about the right .tar? Is it the JF6_secure.tar.md5 from the download here?

Sorry if this has been answered on here, I couldn't find any info. I don't know how to determine if the .tar and .pit I pick are compatible with each other, but I do know this is where bricking happens. Thanks for any help in advance!

Edit: I have tried the One-Click but when I do the USB Debugging test, it tells me its disabled when its not so I can't get anywhere.

Hi guys,

I desperately need your help.

Since my upgrade to #26 I constantly get error messages such as:

com.google.Framework had stopped Unexpectedly.

And each time I finish a phone call I get the phone error stopped Unexpectedly.

Is there a way to fix it without using Odin for restoring to the original rom.

Thank you very much.

EDIT: I tried to update dolphin browser through the market, and I get the error: "sorry there's not enough space to install this item".

But I think I have no more than 20 apps on my phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
You incorrect in saying that the Odin 1 click does not work, It is the correct way and the way I have done many times to get back to stock from CM7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capsin6:
The way I got out of this was by restoring from an older nandriod backup. After this, I've since upgraded to latest nightly and I'm not seeing any FC's so far. I started seeing FC's with one of the older builds; not #26. Also, I have read on the forum that others have experienced same FC issue after a while of mileage on CM7. Best ROM out there nonetheless. Hopefully there is an explanation for the FC.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsBobLoblaw:
You're right. I use bay_wolf's AIO Toolbox, so I typically don't start in download mode. It didn't occur to me until this morning that I could just go into download mode with Odin already open and go from there. Thanks!

camera app

when I have my USB connected to my phone and laptop and then I open the camera (stock) I get a message that says "please insert an SD card before using the camera" has anyone else seen this and if so how did you fix it, there is an SD card in the phone and if I unplug the USB the camera works just fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
I think it is because the sdcard is now being used since it is attached to the computer (even if your not actually using/transferring anything. It is just the way CM7 sees the sdcard and external SD card now. So I don't think the camera will work when it has the USB cable in.

Battery Life (good report)

I am not sure of what happened and I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. I updated to #28 yesterday and I reflashed jl3 modem. Since then I have about 3 times my battery life. I just made it through a 10 hour shift and I still had 60% (I was usually 60% after charging twice mid day).

Woo Hoo

Thanks Guys
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zheka1:
a while a go, I switched on the 2G/3G toggle on my captivate, but when i switched to to 2G, it started FC on com.android. I managed to switch back to 3G, by going through the Terminal Emulator, and it restored, but it also restored the setting in notification (where the wifi toggle is, bluetooth, brightness, and GPS, i think that's what it restored to) But I needed 2 more widgets on it, so I went back to Caynogen mod settings, to add 2 more widget toggles to the task bar, and I see the 2G/3G toggle is checked, but grayed out, and when i added those 2 widgets, the 2G/3G togle is back there is well, but I am afraid of it being there, as if I click, it will start FC android again.

So my question is, how can I un-gray it, so I can uncheck the 2G/3G toggle.

Here's a pic that might more help with my question
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
I know this is probably a stupid question but here it goes anyways.

Will the captivate 2.3.3 rom that is supposed to drop tomorrow help with anything for us? Any drivers or anything that you can then tear into and make better? I just think that you guys have come A LONG WAYS and there is nothing for me to even complain about.

Not exactly pwn'd but we held our own against the big boys and their fancy dual core's.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
I wouldn't expect dual core to help in games at all. Overall phone performance running multiple apps could be a big difference. Not to mention nothing is coded to take advantage of dual core right now either.

I don't think dual core is going to help much right now, and I am in no rush to get one. However, when things start getting optimized for dual core I may become more interested.

[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Yeah, uh, noobnl, go back and look again man... we didn't pwn Tegra 2 in those tests. The Tegra 2 GeForce GPU has been proven to outperform our SGX540. Not by an insane amount, but consistently by a reasonable margin. The only reason we beat the Atrix in some tests was because it runs at a 540x960 display to our 480x800. The Optimus 2X did better than the Atrix because it's running at 480x800 as well.
[Epic 4G General] ydoucare:
I fail to see where we pwned the Tegra 2, or even come close, but it's cool to know that the Epic is still pretty competitive.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
Could a CPU test be say zipping a large file and time how long it takes between phones?

[Epic 4G General] Toast95135:
Do you think we'll get locked out of some new games that are "dual core only" even though or phones should handle them?
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
I'm a bit torn on this issue. I'm very happy our phone held it's own (and it did), and I'm certainly aware that almost no app take advantage of the dual core yet. However as a very heavy multitasker, it'd be nice to get rid of that lag between 'switching' applications (which may or may no need to be reloaded into memory). Although I wonder if the nexus s/epic had 1gb of ram if I'd still feel the same way. I feel like additional RAM (which the atrix has) might be more valuable than the dual core. Just my 2 cents...
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
If I had to guess, we are absolutely going to get left out of new high end games. There are games out there now that are Tegra2 only, so even other dual cores will not be able to play them. Its looking like the market is going to be fragmented beyond belief by summertime. I hope developers don't continue to develop for specific SoC's, because that would harm the market more than it helps.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
just like PCs. we wont see improvement till apps are made for dual core
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I swear, Noobnl, you ALWAYS say you're leaving, then surprise everyone by making a new thread. LOL
[Epic 4G General] Toast95135:
I know it's disappointing, I'm hoping they only give them an exclusive for a little while. And I thought Android was supposed to be heading away from fragmentation :rolleyes: . I honestly think they're going to kill Android by making the phone's lifespan extremely short if they keep heading in the direction they're going.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Well things to consider is the FPS cap and whether or not its being dithered as 16bit or 24bit :/..spec wise..we should be on par in the GFX department to the Tegra 2..

I personally dont see much reason to jump to dual cores yet..mostly wit quadcores coming en of the year..sure its an endless cycle..but at least by the more apps would exist that can actually take advantage of those cores...

[EVO 4G General] sling:
Sprints been at a true crossroad the last couple months on commuting to a 4G technology Wimax or LTE.

99.9 % chance it will be LTE by the looks thus chip plays a big factor.

I don't think there is a dual chip available yet that can play both so it will be interesting.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
From what I understand a switch from WiMax to LTE is just a firmware update, so my guess is the chip included would just require an update and there you go, WiMax to LTE on your phone now.
[EVO 4G General] sling:
True firmware can be done on tower but not on current wimax chips so they would have to use muti capable.

Anyone have a clue on such chip being available?

[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Glad I have not used my upgrade yet. This should be Epic, It has to be.
[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
From what I understand on the subject, the WiMax chips in our phones aren't and can never be compatible with LTE. The infrastructure (network, towers) is compatible with a radio or controller swap but the WiMax chips in the phones are not.

That being said, I would disagree and put it at a 99% probability that whatever they release will be WiMax. LTE would be a better option but I would be very surprised to see them moving to that now, maybe in a year or two.

I had a feeling they were going to have big news. Two things that drive me nuts about Sprints tendencies are their propensity to go with physical keyboards (Epic) and chrome rims around the phone which I think are very ugly (Touch Pro, EVO Shift). If they release a Nexus S, just the way it is but with the addition of 4G, that would be a very difficult device to turn down.
[EVO 4G General] jonathaflores:
you realize that we dont have any specs yet, and I believe that if you are here is because your phone is root it??? fck ill Take the 3d phone with dual core processor,15mp camera with trully 1080p recording capabilities, and root the shyt out of it and make it a monster....CM7...lolz, this is exciting the waiting starts now!!
[EVO 4G General] sling:
Beceem is the only company I'm aware of that has had muti capable chip in the works and that was well after EVO release....Im pretty sure Epics not using it.
