[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fear of Oneself:
If you're asking about reverting the phone back to stock, the easiest way is to use Odin 1-click.

Simply put the phone into download mode by holding the volume up + down buttons and plugging in a USB cable. Or use a USB jig (available for less than 10 dollars from mobiletechvideo's website (I got my with shipping to Canada for $9.25)

This will remove cwm, root and anything else you have on there. Will put you back onto 2.1 eclair. (unfortunately I can't link you to the download I used, because my post count is too low)

I had a quick question for the forum. I'm running CM7 2.3.7 on my captivate and I've got the CPU maxed at 1.3Ghz, 1.250v, ondemand, 100% stable.

Is there another kernel that would allow me to go up to 1.4 or even 1.5? Seeing as I can do 1.3 at stock volts, I'm interested as to what my chip can do
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Heck yes! Head on over and get Glitch V13.1 (not v14). It allows up to 1.7Ghz, although you probably won't be able to run it like that for long...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fear of Oneself:
Could you hook me up with a link please?

Searches just yield v14 kernels, and roms with v13.1 installed. As opposed to me just running v13.1 and my current configuration of cyanogenmod.

Thanks again

After flashing CM7, I'm having some weird issues with my external SD card. When I use the file manager to view my external SD card, it shows up, but none of the folders on the SD card show up. The weird thing is that my pictures and songs are located on the external SD in folders called "pics" and "music", which don't show up. However, the music player app and the gallery both display all my songs and pictures.

When I try to load videos to the external SD, I can't find them anywhere unless the phone is connected the PC.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I had re-formatted my external SD after flashing, then moved everything back to it, just in case.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Here you go: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109463

Read about it before you go flashing! The changelogs are in the second post.

As I said, make sure you choose v13.1 and not v14 (it's kinda hard to not with the bright red letters saying "for ice cream sandwich only" next to v14, but some people can't read). Just download it to your sd card and flash from cwm recovery, and you're all good!

I have just recently installed the latest nightly of CM7 and am having a vibration issue

It won't vibrate during any notifications/calls regardless of my vibrate setting. Though haptic feedback does work (so I don't think it's a hardware issue as it worked before)

I read through some other threads and the only solution I saw was downloading "Sound Manager." I downloaded v1 and v2 and tried all those vibration settings. I've rebooted. All to no avail

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I am going to answer my own question. It appears that I have buggy hardware that can only use the KB1 modem. If I use that modem then everything is ok, but horrible sound quality.

How I can connect TV-Out to my phone? Where is options for this? I think, there is a program for TV-out.

Cheers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muddy67:
TV-Out functionality was added after the nightly bot went bye bye. The easiest way to add it is to flash a recent KANG build available from a variety of users, some with extra add-ons and some just standard builds. The tougher way is to build your own from the code repository.

A link to the KANG thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347273

After that, go to Settings > Device Settings and turn on TV Out.

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

1. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

2. Click on the "All" tab

3. Select Calendar

4. Clear data. (Yes, you really want to do this.)

Exit and give it a little while to re-sync your calendar or force it through the Accounts & Sync menu under Settings.

This worked for me the two times that happened to me. Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reom_76:
I had a similar issue happen to me, though the loss of vibration function came after rooting, but before flashing CM7. I couldn't find a solution that worked, so I ended up flashing back to stock using Odin 1 click. After that, I had to re-root and reflash CM7. I now have vibrating alerts back, and it fixed a few of the syncing errors I was getting after flashing CM7 the first time. I wish there was an easier fix, and maybe there is, but I couldn't find it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fear of Oneself:
Thanks man, I'm excited to get that on. Hopefully it works as well as advertised (I haven't had much luck with flashing kernels in the past, soft bricked 3 times, newb moments, and hurt performance a lot the 4th time)

You know, I was having the exact same problem but didn't notice it. You say you just Odin-1 clicked, then re-flashed and it worked?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fear of Oneself:
I'm not 100% sure if this will work, because what you're talking about has worked by default for me on any gingy or ice cream roms, but try this:

Settings>Cyanogenmod settings>interface>LED Notifications>Unconfigured>Edit category settings>LED mode>Force LED on for events

Try that (I'll try it too, but in the mean time until I get a text, I don't know if this will work for you)

EDIT: yes this works for me, running the glitch V13.1 kernel (CPU stable at 1.4Ghz, 24/7)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fear of Oneself:
I just had a quick question about the glass unlock. When I used other roms like firefly and stock, the samsung "sweep glass to unlock" was my method of choice to unlock the device. CM7 does not have this in the lockscreen menu as a choice. Is there a way to enable or install it? I looked in the market and there is a glass unlock app, but I can't get it to work.

Just personal preference, not a big deal, but it'd be nice to have, if you guys have seen anything. Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reom_76:
I fixed my lack of vibration by using Odin to go back to stock, then re-rooting and reflashing. It was a little bit of a hassle to go through all that, but it was worth it to get back what is, to me, an essential function of the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duxerwhere:
hallo everyone,

i have a captivate with rooted android 2.3.3 and i've installed clockworkmod. whenever i choose the flash option, there's no option to select the captivate. also, when i reboot into recovery i get the stock samsung screen. whenever i choose update.zip from this screen, i get an error.

do i have to have 2.2 to continue the cyanogen installation process? or is there something i'm missing?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
You don't actually have ClockworkMod. I would go back through the installation instructions again, you missed a step somewhere (probably the part about installing the SpeedMod Kernel).

I am having an issue with my att samsung captivate. I went from 2.2 to cyanogemod 7.1.0

Phone worked for a few days, then won't mount internal sd. Says "Damaged sd card. You may need to reformat." However when you do format it does nothing. Have tried reflashing rom. Will mount in cwm recovery, but not cyanogenmod. Odin will not recognize. Computer won't recognize. Have re-installed drivers on multiple computers. Used different cords..etc. Can get phone to go into download mode however.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you so much.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeadlessBourgeois:
Have you tried using a different sd card?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul634:
No... this is the INTERNAL. As far as I know this can't be replaced.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
If you can, try mounting USB storage in CWM, then use the computer to format it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul634:
Usb storage will not mount either.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fear of Oneself:
What did you do differently between then and now?

Because when you're in cwm, and you flashed cm7 again as you say, that is flashing it off your internal SD. Meaning you must be able to explore the sd card through cwm.

If I was you, I'd try wiping all user data in cwm, as well as clearing the cache and dalvik cache, just because it doesn't hurt. Then we'll go from there

EDIT: Disregard the italics, sorry, i was bouncing between two threads. What does it say in cwm when you click install from .zip?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul634:
When I flashed cm7 I had to do so from my external sd card, transferring the file via card reader.

I wiped all data, cache, dalvik cache etc.

When I try to install zip from sd card it says "No files found."

**My mistake earlier. I thought you meant format by using usb storage through cm7. I formatted by mounting usb storage in cwm, but still nothing...

So I upgraded my wife's phone to official gingerbread kk4, and it seems to run really smooth and fast and pretty bug free. Debated doing it myself but I really like the additional cyanogenmod features. I was wondering if it would be worth going to the gingerbread bootloaders and then going back to cyanogenmod. Does cyanogenmod run any better? Just curious

dood :confused: I...don't know what to say

Can you make it past the kernel on boot?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
It shouldn't make any difference at all. This is a small risk of a hard brick when flashing bootloaders, so I would hold out for when/if you update to a Gingerbread ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
Just tried installing this on a friend's captivate and it is bootlooping like heck and I cannot seem to get back into download or recovery using 3-button... any advice?

More info: He was on stock. I downgraded to 2.1, then rooted and installed cwm using an update.zip. Then I tried flashing this, it aborted at the checking mtd part, and rebooted. Now in a boot loop and I can't seem to find my way out of it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
For one thing, the downgrading was very redundant, and possibly what is preventing you from getting download or recovery. If you flashed the eclair bootloaders when you flashed 2.1, you won't be able to use those button combinations. I have never been on eclair before so I have no clue what you need to do to get out of that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
I was told that you cannot install clockworkmod on the captivate unless you have 2e recovery, and that to do that you need to use a 1-click back to 2.1... I don't think I changed the bootloader.

Ordered a jig and gave up for the night. Fingers crossed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
For future reference, hat is not true... you can flash clockworkmod on any version. I think what you said applies to some old method, but nowadays you just flash a cwm-injected kernel and you're all set. If the package included bootloaders, you may have done it without noticing. The jig should work just fine. Next time, read the cyanogenmod wiki on how to install cm7
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
I'll be more careful with the instructions after Odining back. Is there anything in particular you suggest me to Odin to? I suppose I should also Odin some newer bootloaders back?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
It doesn't really matter which you flash to, as long as you get bootloaders that allow for 3-button, so froyo or gingerbread. You might as well upgrade to gingerbread if you're going to be flashing bootloaders.

You can't flash CWM from recovery unless you have 2e recovery, but you can flash it with Odin or Heimdall from anything

I would just pick one of the plethora of KK4 ROMs out there with CWM already baked in. Flash it once with bootloaders to get your button combos and to get on the new bootloaders, then flash CM7 over it. From there after, only flash bootloader-free packages because the i897 bootloaders are compatible with everything. No need to go all the way back to stock.

Can someone running CM7 confirm something for me. There's a developer option to kill the foreground app with a long press of back.

Can someone confirm if it kills your default launcher as well?

I'm on CM9 right now so I can't test myself (trying to avoid a reflash just to test). I'm almost certain the same option on CM7 would kill only up to but excluding the default launcher (as long as it's set as the default launcher).

Thanks.

Yes, that will also kill your launcher if your launcher is currently on the screen. You can reload the launcher by just pressing the home key.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
It's data/data, but you probably don't want to just delete files from there. Go through settings / applications and clear the caches from your apps. That should help your situation. You can also move apps to your SD card, which should help as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
datadata and data/data are the same, they're symlinked. Under settings / applications, if you open each application you will see an option to clear the cache for that app. There are apps available in the market that will batch clear them, but if you can't download apps, that's not going to be super helpful ;)

Noobie here

I am contemplating installing CM 7.10. I have a stock Rogers i896 ROM (unrooted).

Please bear with me as I have some questions. My reason for updating is the lag I experience with Captivate and the inability to prevent the apps from populating in the background.

1. What are some of the shortcomings of using this custom ROM vs the stock Captivate ROM? Will I lose any functionality like GPS, wifi or ?? I read that some are having random speaker issues after installing CM 7.10.

2. Do I have to downgrade from 2.3.3 to Froyo to install CM 7.10?

3. Which is the perferred method of installing 7.10, ODIN or Heimdall Method when using Windows? Will all the kernals et al for Gingerbread be there for me to download?

4. Do I need CWM? It seems any additional mods seem to require this, but using the ODIN method in post #1 there is no mention of CWM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

5. Does the CM unroot your phone?

6. How do I backup my existing OEM rom in case I need to reinstall the ROM? The link in this forum is dead for the Rogers 2.3.3 ROM

6.(a) What does the CM do to the partition? Does it modify the partition like resize it from the stock OEM rom? What else does it do?

7. Is there a more stable custom ROM that I should consider over CM 7.10? Say, ics sgs build 23?

8. There is different methods of installing CM from a stock ROM and it's terribly confusing which one to use:

from post 1 in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982776

from post 1 How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock (inc. Gingerbread ROMs) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

What's the advantage of using ODIN over the other method? Which one to use?

9. Should I scrap the idea of customizing my phone and just wait till the Galaxy III comes out in a few months?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
The only shortcomings I can think of are losing the TouchWiz features. This will happen if you install any non-samsung ROM.

No, but there are additional steps to get root on gingerbread. Everything else should be the same.

None of the above. You will only use heimdall to flash a kernel that contains CWM. The actual installation of any CM rom takes place in CWM.

Yes, you do need it to install CM. The directions are in the link I will post below.

No, all custom ROMs are rooted. What would be the point of having a custom ROM if it wasn't rooted?

Once you install the SpeedMod kernel (in the directions), you will be able to do a nandroid backup. Although to restore it, you will need to flash stock first.

It is going to repartition from Samsung's BML layout to the AOSP MTD filesystem. It basically wipes and rebuilds the entire internal memory.

Definitely not. Anything that is ICS is not fully stable yet. CM7 is stable, tried and true. There are still many bugs/issues in many ICS builds, and they aren't even in beta phase yet.

If any of those, use the Cyanogenmod post. Otherwise, read the full instructions on installing CM7. (When I posted this, the Cyanogenmod website was down, so if it doesn't work, try later.)

Nah, have some fun with your phone while you still have it. And it's probably going to be awhile before the S III comes out.

Captivate with CM7 wake-up problem

We have a couple of Captivate (ATT); moved to Europe for a while.

Even though the phones were not sim-locked anymore, we couldn't get them to work properly on the local carrier (SFR); audio was terribly distorted or just silent.

Flashed CM-7, everything was good for 2 months.

Now we have this problem, on and off:

when the phone "goes to sleep" for a period of several hours, like overnight, sometimes, it doesn't "wake up" with the power button, even though the battery shows a good charge.

Connecting the USB cable from the computer "wakes it up" and then it will work normally for a couple of days.

If no computer is available, I have to remove the battery and boot it up again.

It is annoying, especially on my wife's phone; she hates it when things don't perform (wonder how we have been together for 39 yrs ;-))

I tried to set the volume buttons as wake-up, works OK but have the same problem :rolleyes:

Any ideas ??

Help will be much appreciated. Thanks !
