You can also move to sd from the Applications menu of Settings, don't need TiBu for this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
True but it does not do it in a batch mode. I have done it that way and once you do it goes to each app and then you can move it, then on to the next one. With tibu you hit one button after you choose which apps you want to move, then it moves them all with no other user input.

Also in cm setting choose to install apps to sdcard for any future apps you download.

Fair enough, I hadn't tried doing it through TiBu because I wasn't sure if the implementation was the same. Good to know, thanks.

Is there any downside to installing all apps to sd? I thought I had read the reason datadata is used had something to do with speed. Also, if you move apps with widgets that you are using to sd does it cause any problems?

battery bug?

Lol, I know this has been asked a lot in the past, but has the battery/sleep mode bug been fixed? I ask because I was about to update my nightly build and noticed this in the changelog.

cm_captivatemtd_full-85.zip (2011-08-12 16:48:50)​

Low Power Mode (7/7) (android_device_samsung_captivatemtd)

Does that have anything to do with it? Go to the changelog and look under captivatemtd-full-85

bln (repost)

cyanogenmod 7.1

lost back light notifications (soft keys light up) on switch to 7.1

I've tried flashing this kernel ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784170 ), but i guess it's not supported in this build or something since the installation fails. I've also looked around the settings without much success. Am I just missing something? I'm not too proficient with figuring out these problems or finding the correct fixes, so i'm wondering if anyone knows how I can get my bln back? I hate not knowing if i have a missed call/text without turning my screen back on.

as far as i can gather, i guess the bln kernel isnt from CM7 anyway. seems im stuck without it for now... at least my battery life has been improved substantial amount

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EthanMG:
so can anyone tell me whether or not it is necessary to format the system partition before flashing this rom? in this thread's instructions it says to perform a factory reset (wipes data, dbdata, and cache) and then, for some reason, to wipe the cache again. nothing about system. in other threads, like the one for the RC1 build of this rom, it says to wipe the system partition as well. seems like a big discrepancy.

Can cyanogen hardware accelerate videos yet?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
It wouldn't hurt to format the system partition to be safe. Always best to start with a perfectly clean slate and not have anything left over from previous roms that may cause you issues later on.

Or you can follow the instructions here and get it installed THEN if you have issues you start all over with the directions to format the system partition wipe cache, factory reset, wipe data partition and then reflash CM7.

If I was doing it as I have in the past coming from another rom I have just put the CM7 file on my SD card from rom manager and the gapps also from rom manager. Do a factory reset, wipe cache (even though it wipes it during factory reset but twice to ensure it is cleared out), wipe dalvich cache. Then install rom manager and get the CM7 downloaded again which will be very quick since it will already be saved in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.cyanogenmod.com/get

Or you can manually flash it from cwm by following the same path to find the rom, then once it is flashed, go again and now follow it to where gapps is stored in the same path except /gooinside.me/gapps and pick the gapps you downloaded from rom manager. Flash it. Then reboot and follow the install instructions with setting up your account info and then let it install your apps. Or unclick during setup instructions to not restore the apps and then restore them via tibu.

AGAIN just follow the instructions from the OP and I know you are confused between the two different setups. So I would say find WHICH POST is the NEWER DATE in the OP and use that method as the other may not have been updated as it was older. Hope this helps you figure it out. Reading is the most important part as well as following the directions so you don't end up with a bricked paperweight.

Hey, I bought a Captivate from eBay and it comes with CyanogenMod 7.1.0

I want to update to the latest nightly build, but I have never flashed anything, I'm totally new to Android.

I don't know what version of CM7 it is, i don't know if it's a nightly build or RC1.

On "About Phone" it says:

Android Version: 2.3.4

baseband: t959tljl3

kernel: 2.6.35.7 - g673c4ed

MOD VERSION: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Captivate-KANG

Build Number: GRJ22

I want to update to the nightly 90 (the latest one) and I read that you need to use ROM Manager.

I want to know if I should do anything else or just open ROM Manager, flash ClockWorkMod, and then download nightly 90 from ROM Manager and flash it.

I also read about bootloaders, etc. I shouldn't have a problem with that if I'm flashing CM7 to just another build right? And does it matter if its RC or nightly build?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Just open rom manager, download rom, CyanogenMOD nightlies, click on #90, download, popup says gapps so check the box, then once it is done downloading another popup will come up and check (if it is not already checked) wipe dalvich cache and backup rom.

You SHOULDNT have to check anything else. You do NOT need to backup rom but it is always good to have a backup in case you run into problems.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kash159:
A quick question about the update.

Clockwork Mod method:

Download and push the ROM zip file to the sdcard.

Reboot into recovery.

Do a Nandroid Backup!

Install the ROM zip from sdcard (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)

If i update this way, do i have to wipe cache, dalvik cache? If not, why not because it is required for the rommanager way.

Thanks

So, I'm heading on vacation tomorrow and was planning to do some streaming of movies off my Captivate at the vacation house. I've been on CM latest nightlies and loving it...except, I don't believe TV out works - is that right? Because of this, I flashed APEX on my phone today so I could have the TV out option, but I'm already missing CM!

Can someone confirm that this (flashing a non-CM ROM) is my only option if I want TV out? Assuming so, I can make do with APEX until the week is over...don't get me wrong, APEX isn't terrible at all, but I definitely notice the difference between the two ROMs, and it is making me appreciate CM7 that much more!

Thanks! :cool:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muddy67:
I have been using this ROM for quite a while and #96 gave me some weird issues. That's a rare occurrence. I rolled back to #94 and it fixed the problems. I'd recommend trying #94 and then maybe updating when #97 or later comes out. All you have to do is flash the 94 nightly and then Gapps. Maybe wipe Dalvik for good measure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Nothing's wrong. It "should" recalibrate itself after a couple days of using the ROM and charging and such. For awhile 98% was the Max charge for CM7. Its since then been fixed to charge to 100%, but I wouldn't worry about missing a percent on a full charge. I like it 100% too, but its nothing to be too concerned with. Battery life is pretty good right now.

Just remember flashing Odin with bootloaders has the potential to brick your phone (I've done it and had to get a replacement phone to fix).

On I9000 bootloaders. Mosaic VI. To flash cm7 I should probably odin the i897 bootloaders am I correct? And then just flash the nightly?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
If your gonna flash bootloaders then that is up to you. I know cm7 works on the i897 froyo and i897 gingerbread bootloaders. So you can flash either of them for sure. I have 1 with i897 Ginger and 1 with froyo bootloaders and both have NO problems. I am NOT positive about the i9000 bootloaders working or not, I thought they do now but don't remember where I saw that. I would say TRY it without flashing the bootloaders and if everything works without issue then your golden, if it doesn't work THEN flash one of the two bootloaders. Remember flashing the bootloaders is where a hard brick will happen if anything goes wrong. I have flashed bootloaders (all three) MANY TIMES probably 10-20 times if you include all the flashbacks to stock eclair to start over between roms without issue, but the last time I did I ended up with a HARD BRICK and lost all power. JTAG was the only fix.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yeah that's my preferred method too. Do you have button combo working to get into recovery? If you do. Just grab an update.zip to get CWM on your phone so you can boot into recovery and try flashing again..

Did you have GB bootloaders when you tried flashing.. maybe that was the problem?

Were/are you on a i9000 rom or bootloaders? Might be why it doesn't show up in the downloads section under CyanogenMOD nightlies. I had that issue once but can't remember what I did to get it to work. Possibly change your buildprop so everything that reads i9000 is changed to i897.

Other option is go to the OP and there is a link that you can download the nightlies from. Put it on your sdcard, reboot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvich cache. Then choose zip file, choose zip from sdcard. Flash the nightly version you downloaded. Before or after reboot I think you can then go back into recocery and flash gapps also.

USB drivers?

I had USB drivers working for my Captivate (2.2 Froyo, with Onix kernel, stock ROM) before I installed CyanogenMod 7.

Do I need new drivers for CyanogenMod? If so, which ones and where can I find them?

You would have thought wrong. There have been changes to the driver architecture between froyo for captivate and gingerbread for nexus s and we can't just take the sound stuff from froyo and replace what's in gingerbread. We have to co-exist because Nexus S isn't going away and when Samsung drops source for GB it will be more like the Nexus S source and so the interim solution is to port anything we don't have in GB for captivate from froyo. Some drivers are easier than others - sound is not one of the easy ones. And regardless of what some idiots on twitter or xda think, this isn't just a drag and drop operation.
