"package manager installs to /data, that's just what it does. our /data partition is assigned to that 2GB partition you're talking about. I have never once had it run out of space like that nor have I seen it ignore the /data partition. to be quite honest, it seems something is wrong with your phone as I have never heard this issue happening to anyone and all apps have been installed to /data since this ROM existed.

edit: should add, if you'd like, you should attack a logcat and dmesg of attempting to install an app so we can *try* and see if there's some bug, but I really don't see why it would be trying to install to system instead of data"

Im just going to be to the point, I have two cappies doing this so it isnt just my phone (see the above post).

Looking in the settings, the entire 2 GB partition is empty (it says 1.89 GB free out of 1.9 GB). The 13 GB partition says 12.4 GB free out of 12.9 GB.

The phone has been master cleared so there is nothing staying behind.

Im going to see about pulling up logs, to be honest, never really looked into where logs are being stored so Im a bit unsure of how to get you the logs but I will figure it out tonight or tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

Since the 5/1 nightly I've had an odd problem. Every time I hit the Home button it opens up Clock instead of going to my home screens. This happens on LauncherPro Plus and Go Launcher. On both I made sure to have the Home button selected to go to home screens.

Clock is nice and all but I want to go to my homescreens! Is there a solution or maybe even some info I can get for you fine peeps to look through? Thanks in advance.

Also, wonderful work overall on CM7! Other than the little bugs here and there it's amazing ( and I knew there would be bugs as it stated on the installation post :D ).

I can't boot into recovery. I have tried 3 button combo, adb and power menu. Do I have to reflash everything again?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EthanMG:
why is it necessary to load a kernel like speedmod at the beginning of the install process just to run the efsbackup.zip, couldn't you just load cwm as an update.zip on stock 2.1 and then flash the efsupdate to accomplish the same thing? seems easier than loading a whole kernel...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkangel09:
EDIT: nm, was wrong, got lucky apparently.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlewierdo:
It isnt 'easier' than loading a whole kernel. It is just a slightly different variation on accomplishing the same thing. I mean, it probably takes just as long to flash the kernel using Odin 3 click as it does using the recovery menu to flash cwm.

My guess as to the reason behind not using an update.zip to accomplish this task is probably because no one has put together an update.zip with the cwm recovery stuff and secondly that some folks probably like to keep the update.zip file on their phone they used for originally rooting the stock rom (this way, when they restore to stock, they can easily root the phone without having to run an external PC program or even more fun, go thru the adb process of rooting).

Personally, what think would be really nice is if the nightly builds contained everything needed to flash to CM7 (so flash to stock, flash latest nightly CM7 which would include the kernel and efs, done).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
Actually, the update.zip to flash CWM "comes with" ROM Manager. So all that needs to be done is install ROM Manager and use it to flash CWM (it will even reboot your phone into recovery to install CWM).

As discussed in the other thread, in post 66 of the ROM Dev thread, Atinm mentioned that any kernel with CWM 2.x or 3.x is sufficient to start from, so starting from stock, root, install ROM Manager, and then installing CWM should be an acceptable alternative. If you already have the CWM update.zip, you should be able to skip the root & install ROM Manager steps.

When using the youtube app audio streams but video is missing. The same happens when trying to view html5 content in the web browser. Viewing flash content in the browser is not good in general and in severe cases after buffering a bit of the video it will crash all together. I have flash 10.2 installed. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Edit: Now I have found out that my camera is not showing any image but still takes pictures and same goes with google goggles. Anything image related seems corrupted.

Can you make a voice call over Google Talk in the latest update (2.3.4)?

I know that for the nexus S you can make video calls, but since we don't have a front facing camera, I wonder if the call will go through anyways with voice only.

Also, can you call phone #'s like with the gmail google talk, or does it only work with other people that are signed into gchat using video?

thanks guys, and I tried to search for an answer and didn't see anything in the last week on this topic...

Nightly Build Notifications

Hello,

Do the nightly build notifications work? i have Rom Manager Premium and I am registered to receive update notifications for CM7, but I never get any and I have to look manually. Is this a known issue or just me?

Thanks for the help and all the work on this awesome ROM!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmik67:

we are not quite yet mainline cm, so no, the nightly's do not yet come thru rom manager, but this is a big step in that direction.....

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roof King:
That's funny! Atinm just said in the dev thread that "we will never merge. Ever"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
I was being facetious. Mostly because I am tired of non-developers asking me that. It makes almost *no* difference to end users whether we are in mainline or not. The only difference will be that the web page on CyanogenMod.com will say Official next to SGS, and that nightlies will start coming from that build farm. It'll still be us doing the work, the same 3-4 developers working on it now. And we'll still be the ones saying something is good to go or not. It isn't like we'll be committing stuff that we don't now, and in fact, if anything, it'll get slower because we will be that much more careful about what we merge to mainline. Right now we put up an update as soon as we are reasonably comfortable with something.

we dont need to use odin now to install CM7?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
PLEASE READ THE NEW INSTRUCTIONS they are much easier than the old installation method (it's literally put two zip's on your sd card). don't watch any videos, don't try and guess what to do, just read. it's really not that hard.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
sorry is that i dont understand how the update can be isntalled only by rebooting the phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
it should be done automagically by a few scripts we have. if it does not and you are on the orange clockwork mod recovery (3.0.2.8), you can just install the update-initial zip like you would a standard ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
now is super easy! we can forget abour ODIN, i asked because i will isntall CM7 on a friend cappy and he would enjoy this ROM almost without effort, thanks again!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
no worries, the goal is to make this as seamless as possible, so we try to stay away from things like ODIN and multiple flashes/zips...

I'm going to include this here for more info later, but the next update should be able to be applied from ROM manager (not OTA, just through ROM manager). But before you do, here are the steps *everyone* should take for ROM manager right now.

1) Open ROM Manager

2) hit "menu" button

3) Manual Flash Override

4) Ok

5) Captivate (MTD)

6) ClockworkMod 3.x (then hit ok)

you should now be able to perform backups from within ROM manager automatically and apply any updates through this method as well (or change modems or whatever). Thanks belong to koush and atinm for getting it working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
we are doing this to be able to flash update from rom manager? what will be included in the next update?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
no idea, next update isn't anything immediately looming, it's for future reference for when the next one comes out (or for when you want to do a backup... don't have to do it manually any more... or if you want to try out new modems that can be flashed right from ROM manager)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
yes? I'm not quite sure what you're asking

make sure you follow the instructions exactly. you have to open ROM manager, hit your "menu" button (to the left of home), a menu will popup and one of the options says "manual flash override" and click that. it will ask you to confirm, so say yes... after a second or so choose "Captivate (MTD)" and then another menu will pop up saying "ClockworkMod 2.x" and "ClockworkMod 3.x" and select the second one.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
ok all my above comments were for people ALREADY ON CM7. clearly you are not, you must follow *all* the instructions on how to install it from the very beginning like everyone else. either flash back to stock eclair with 2e recovery OR install a custom kernel like speedmod. if you don't know how to do either of these, please spend MUCH more time reading the forum before you attempt to install this.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
no. seems kind of pointless since on auto it will use 3G whenever it can. weak 3G > strong 2G. take it up with official cyanogen if you want something like this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altair4:
Ok I might have a little problem here. I installed Cyanogen with no errors, played around with the options a bit (nothing system breaking, just the visual effects and such).

However, now when I turn on my phone it won't load past the lockscreen! When I try to unlock it the phone freezes for a sec and just reboots itself giving me the blue spinning droid icon. And then it takes me back to the lockscreen where the same thing happens.

How would I go about fixing this? Thanks.

Edit: When I try to unlock it, an error message saying something like "The application Status Bar (com.android.something) has stopped working unexpectedly" pops up and disappears immediately.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
logcat and dmesg or it didn't happen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altair4:
logcat:

sorry for the spaces, xda won't let me post links

I started logging at the lock screen, tried to unlock it, same freezing and rebooting, and stopped around a minute after it reached the lock screen again.

In the mean time, would it be safe to just reflash the update-cm-7-INITIAL-Captivate-signed.zip or would that screw up anything?

edit: fix permissions don't seem to solve anything

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
I'm not sure what you mean, on CM7 you have always been able to do full backup and restores from clockwork mod recovery. if you are referring to ROM Manager (it's corresponding application inside android), then yes, this functionality is new and works now. you just have to follow the instructions I posted a couple pages back on how to get ROM manager working for doing backups, restores, and applying new updates.

Atinm thinks he's tracked it down to an issue upstream where the MMS profile points to a bad/nonexistent specification that can't handle one of the formats (specifically bmp and iphone formats, if i recall correctly). hopefully it can be resolved soon.

Problems

I apologize if this has already been answered, I've looked through several of the forum pages and found no answers...

I just flashed CM7 last night and it works great and it's super smooooth! There are just a few issues that I'm not sure how to fix. First of all, I don't have ANY of my Google Apps...I've tried flashing them using CMW but it doesn't work. I would use Odin but my computer won't recognize the phone even though I have the 64 bit drivers installed. I've tried downloading the market.apk but when I try to install it manually on the phone, after allowing unknown sources, it will recognize the app and all it's information, but will then tell me that the app was not downloaded. On TB, it worked just fine.

Second, my lock screen randomly will not work sometimes. I will push the 'hold' button, and it will 'lock' but when it's pressed later the screen comes right back up without going through the lock screen. This isn't a HUGE problem, I just don't want it unlocking in my pocket.

Thanks for any help you can give me, I'm sorry this is so long I just wanted anyone who can help to have as much detail as possible. Thanks!!
