[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
Is there any solution to this "Low on Space" error? I thought SGS phones had 2GB of app space. Moving apps to SD card is not a solution since you are wasting space. After many months, this is the first dealbreaker I've found in CM7... : (
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
I had the "insufficient space on device " error when I first installed and googled and came across many solutions with mixed results. The one that worked for me was to go into settings -applications -market and click "uninstall updates ". No issues after. Hope that helps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
These are actually two different issues. The error that cumanzor is talking about is caused by a limited amount of space in the datadata partition. I have been able to keep this problem away by just periodically clearing the every application's cache using Cache Cleaner from the market, but I probably don't have as many apps as some of you do either.

The issue Cor-master has is actually a market problem, not a CM7 problem. If I understand it correctly, the new versions of the market cache to a partition that smaller than the max app size, so apps bigger than 30mb will fail. That's why unistalling the market updates fixes the problem: it goes back to a non-broken version of the market. Oddly enough, I've only ever had this problem on Samsung ROMs, never on CM7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
Actually, disabling Market updates should no longer be a solution to this issue. The newest version of the Market actually fixes the problem.

Dialing 911

With all the buzz about non-Samsung ROMs on the Vibrant (and now the Epic 4G) not being able to transmit audio while dialing 911, I'd like to know, is this problem also on the Captivate? I've been a huge fan of everything Hacksung and CyanogenMod have brought to this phone, so I'd definitely be sad if I had to go back to a Samsung ROM.

If you're wanting a BLN-capable kernel with Voltage Control, use the cappy_BLN_vc. The other options use a non-BLN type of LED notification, and the stock versions don't have voltage control (vc).

Bluetooth pairing not saved

Before I flashed to CM 7.1 I used to be able to pair the phone with my car stereo (a pioneer) once after wiping the phone. Then whenever I wanted to connect it I would just select the radio from the BT device list on the phone and it would just work.

Now on CM 7.1 and even nightly build 181 it asks me for the pairing code every time I try to connect. The list says "paired but not connected" but when I select the device... it opens a dialog that asks for a pin. It's not a huge issue but it is kind of weird since it was one of the few things that functioned correctly on the stock 2.1 rom AT&T shipped with my phone.

Also as a side note when it asks for a pin the keyboard should automatically be set to number mode since [I think] BT passwords are always numeric.

I apologize if this has been answered before... I searched the forum but didn't find anything relevant.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
The stock kernel also does BLN, albeit under a different name. It's set under Settings / Cyanogenmod Settings / Interface / LED Notifications. No BLN control app needed.

I haven't tested it, but I would have to assume that, if the devs found it a big enough issue to stop development, they would have tested the cappy to make sure it didn't have the same problem.

Then again, we all know what happens when you assume.....

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Cm7 has never had that function yet. You can use a different dialer from the market though( like DIALER ONE) and it will work for you. Alternatively you can also set up your favorites in the contact section, open up CONTACTS and scroll through the names you want to call. I use Go Launcher right now with the Go Contact and it will use you setup favorites on a widget so you have 1 click dialing.

I just bought a used captivate and am reading up stuff in this forum and got little confused, can somebody please help?

I though captivate had 512MB RAM and 512MB ROM, I read that ~128MB RAM is used for dalvik cache partition, What procedure do I need to follow to make CM7 ROM use full 512MB Ram and move dalvik to ROM?.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliobahar:
The maximum that I know is around 350MB, on ROMs other than CM. And for that you need a kernel that handles big memory. I don't know whether this is possible on CM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
So yeah I've been using the rom now for almost 2 weeks, I really love it, and I think its the best rom for the Captivate, its ultra fast and smooth, and some things work better, like Wifi. I often couldn't connect to wifi right away when I turned it off on stock roms and stock based roms, it would hang and eventually I'd check it under wifi in settings and it would say "turn on wifi -error". Don't get that anymore. But I don't think the rom is for everybody as it is a tad bit unstable. I thought about putting it on my wife's phone, but I got Cog 4.5 on hers, and its about all she needs, just a tweaked better running stock rom with a lagfix.

As far as "unstability" it seems i swear once a day my phone just has a brain fart and lags for several minutes. Like really bad, the lockscreen struggles coming up, and the screen won't read my fingers when it does come up, it ends up shutting off again, if I can get past it, everything is just running terrible. I usually just 3-button reboot it and it fixes it. Also battery life is a tad bit worse, not dramatically worse (think it was Cog 4.1 that was the worst battery life I had used). I think if your an enthusiast like I am you can deal with this sort of stuff. My wife however might get extremely frustrated.

Is this rom still using the Nexus S drivers? I always heard our drivers are closed source and thats the workaround the developers used to get it to work on our phones. I guess I'm a little confused about the open source/closed source thing about our drivers. Forgive me, I'm not a programmer so I don't know what all is involved with getting drivers, but the drivers can't just be pulled out out, analyzed, cracked, and re-made? Not trying to be a jerk, I'm really just curious about this. Always trying to learn as much as I can.

I know some people have had it worse with this rom, me I was one of the lucky ones who just followed the instructions to a tee, and it worked first boot. Had an issue where it was telling me I was out of space on the market the first time, but clicking "uninstall updates" fixed it, and I've had no issues since.

But I am glad i put this rom on my phone. This is just how android is supposed to be, and I don't even care when the update comes. Its incredible how much the touchwiz framework slows the phone down, it runs like crack now. I'm looking forward to CM9 and ICS, as before I would of just been lucky to ever get an official touchwized gingerbread rom.

CM7 Screwed.. Please help

<Posting in CM 7 thread>

Help Needed.Looks like i screwed my Samsung Captivate.

here is what i did :

My captivate was running cyanogen mod 7 (nightly build cm_captivatemtd_full-181) . But when I wanted to re-install CM7 and did the following:

1)I thought i would use the copy of the same CM 7 build in phone root directory which i used for cm7 install for the first time

2)I kept the phone in download mode and Used ODIN to flash the Kernel.It went through successfully.

3)I used the three button technique and tried to install the Build which has failed with below error message

'assert failed:getprop (" some blah blah) ..Error in /mnt/sdcard/cm-captivate_full-181.zip (status 7) .. installation aborted.

Not sure if i should have recopied the build to the phone instead of using the same existing build in the phone

4)Though the installation failed...my phone is not booting up and when i reboot.. the phone is hung with a message 'galaxy S scg-i897 Samsung' and doesnt boot up.

Please help on how to recover my phone to a normal state.

Things tried to recover:

Gone to Recovery , Did factory Reset,Wiped Cache,Wiped Dalvik ,Reflashed Kernel & Tried to Reinstall the Build ..but it throws the same error.

Currently phone doesnt boot ..but Download and three Button Option to recovery works.

Let me know how can i reflash and get my captivate online..

I'm looking for some help in getting CM7 to operate correctly after finally flashing it to my Captivate for the first time. This is the first ROM I've ever flashed, so excuse any ignorance.

Once I got it flashed, I couldn't add an account, but flashing the Google apps .zip fixed that. However, now, I can't seem to download any apps from the market. I can't download new apps or ones that are already downloaded to my account. I get an error that says, ""App Name" could not be downloaded due to an error." This gives me two questions. First, how can I overcome this so I can download apps? Secondly, is there an easy way to re-download all my prior apps, both paid and non-paid?

Also, my phone is now constantly trying to connect to Google Talk and cannot, giving an error in the notification bar. The error says that the authentication failed. Any ideas as to why I can't connect to Google Talk?

At this point, the phone runs well without any lag, which is what I was after, but I can't really do anything with it since I can't chat with friends, get my email, or use any apps other than what came with CM7. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. (I've searched around for a fix to each issue and can't find anything that matches these problems.)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
Sounds like you tried to flash an i9000 kernel onto your CyanogenMOD setup, which will not work because they are not compatible. You'll need to use Odin out Heimdall to flash a stock package to recover. I recommend the KH3 package that contains Boog's custom kernel. With that flashed, you should be able to go straight to CWM and flash CyanogenMOD.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
OR he was running a rom thst made the phone read as a i9000 rom so it will not let him flash the i897 build of CM7.

If that is the case then extract a cm7 #181 zip. Open up with root explorer like this:

Go to extracted and locate the cm7 #181 zip folder

Click on META-INF/COM/GOOGLE/ANDROID

Then LONG PRESS on updater-script THEN open with TEXT EDITOR

NEXT delete out everything in the beginning that says get-prop until you delete all of it. You should show it start off anything after that.

Hit the menu button and click SAVE AND EXIT.

Next back out until your back at the folder name, LONG PRESS, CHOOSE ZIP THIS FOLDER, GO TO ZIPPED FOLDER, LONG PRESS AND CHOOSE MOVE.

Back out until your at sdcard and hit paste.

Reboot into cwm and pick out the zip you created and flash it. It should get you past the flashing issue.

Turn off wifi sleep. Go to wifi settings>menu softkey>advanced>wifi sleep (whatever it's called>set to never.

You realize that you don't need odin to reflash CM7 if you are already on CM7? All you had to do was flash it from recovery, although I'm not sure why you would need to reinstall/ what kind of reinstall you are trying to do. Just wipe and reflash the build from CWM.

All I can suggest is reflashing both CM7 and gapps, possibly after doing full wipe/factory reset. About your apps, you will most likely need to re-find them all on the market, unless you used titanium backup to back them up before flashing.

Perhaps see if a different CM7 kernel solves it?

Hi Gromlakh/RockRatt/korokinout13,

thanks for your reply.

Yes my captivate was running CM7 already when i tried to re-install

Not sure i flashed i9000 kernel , but the kernel zip i used to reflash using ODIN is speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz(link here http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=522490&d=1298201640 ) and once kernel is flashed i tried to install CM7 Build (181.zip) which i already copied to the phone's SD Card and if failed with a error and causing phone to not boot up.

As all of you suggested some steps,please let me know whose steps should be followed to recover it back .

Also i am first timer to flashing things..my bad not sure why i retried flashing cm7 again when everything was running well. please help me clear steps or links or videos if any to resolve .
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
Mine, with one caveat. Your problem started because you tried to flash a Samsung kernel onto a CyanogenMOD install. They're not compatible, so it's hanging at the kernel splash screen (the black screen with text you mentioned). Samsung uses a completely different partition structure and file system than CM7.

2 suggestions:

1. Try flashing the Glitch kernel (link in the sig; use V13.1, NOT V14) using CWM. It is possible that your phone will get usable again if you have a properly matched kernel.

2. If that doesn't work, do what I suggested earlier.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Sdamarla15 here is a link to my drop box with the CM7 kernel for #181. Just copy the kernel into your sdcard, reboot to cwm, choose the cm7 kernel, let it install. This should put you back on cm7 nightly #181. If it doesn't put you back right where you left off at on YOUR cm7 #181, then try to flash the kernel again, then before editing recovery flash the complete cm7 #181 build. Here is the link of the cm7 #181 kernel ONLY http://db.tt/rgrvD0O6

I flashed CyanogenMod-7-11162011-Nightly (181) with Kernel 2.6.35.14-ga5af6ff. First, the phone is 100x better than stock. I can't believe I waited so long.

But, I do have one major issue. Seems the phone loses its ability to contact cellular towers. This is with the stock JL3 modem and later with the KG3 modem.

In fact, JL3 couldn't even connect to a tower at my house, which is rural. KG3 can connect to my local tower and seems much better,

However, I have found that I eventually lose the ability to connect to a cellular network. JL3 seems to have this issue more than KG3. Driving into work today, and I noticed that my Captivate couldn't connect to a cellular tower, where the signal is very strong. Rebooting the phone fixes it.

Any ideas?

I'm getting a "force close" periodically when I go to open my text messages. The exact message I get is "Sorry! The application Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. (Force Close)". Sometimes I can tell it's going to happen soon because when I access the messages, it will be very slow, with noticeable lag. I looked around all of the settings, but the only thing I could find was disabling a wallpaper hack, which said to do so if you get "FC", which I assumed to mean "force close". However, after a few days with that disabled, it was obvious it made no difference with the issue at all. This happens at least once per day, more if I happen to be opening the messaging area a lot and checking/sending texts. I posted about this on the CyanogenMod forum, but no one seems to have any clue. I ended up switching to a new kernel (Glitch) today, but it still ended up happening afterward. This seriously doesn't happen to anyone else? Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be and how it can be fixed? It's pretty annoying.
