There may be, but the only way I know is returning to stock, root and flash ..sorry :o

If you have an earlier build cappy- 1007, 1008, or 1009.. the OdinOneClick JF6 works well and is dang easy. Builds 1010 and later are a little trickier in that you have to use the full Odin or Heimdall and yeah I think that's where the pit files come in and stuff. But if you got an old cappy- JF6 it and go from there.. take you about 5 or 10 minutes to be up and running another ROM!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simple man:
You don't need to root, if you flash stock Jf6, just flash the update.zip of C.W.M. or the tar file of a Froyo Captivate kernel such as, K13E Speedmod, or Onix, then flash whatever Froyo rom you want. The K13E Speedmod kernel even has an option in the cwm menu to install superuser "root" included in the kernel, if that's not slicker than snot than I don't know what is. LOL. :-)

Im new to this rom just today i had flashed this, my problem is i am not able to install gapps, I had downloaded the file from Rom manager but i am not able to find it anywhere on the phone, Notification bar shows its downloaded but i am not able to find it anywhere.

Am i missing something here ?

One more question which other modems i can try on this rom ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cursedwave:
Bit of a general question here.

I've been running CM7 Nightly #104 + Glitch Kernel V11 for a while now without any major problems. However, once the newest nightly came out, trying to use Glitch V11 left me in a bootloop, and same for a few other kernels I tried out (Talon & Neo).

Should I assume that nightlies are hit or miss with other kernels, or could I have goofed up somewhere? Or could there be any other explanation? I tried wiping user data as well, but still nothing. I've only been using CM7 in general for a few weeks, so some of the past history regarding flashing could probably lost on me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
The kernels you are trying just are not up to date and could result in a bootloop. You could try the glitch v12 betas that are available. The latest is upstream synced with at least build #104 so should work. Best bet is to check with the kernel dev to see if its up to date. But yeah you didn't do anything wrong, its just the kernel isn't up to date. The nightlies are usually hit with very little miss ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Its there.. open up your files.. check either download(s) or clockworkmod .. when you download using your phone the zip gets put into a folder as oppose to being directly on the root of your SD card so just look around, you should find it.

There is also a modems sticky for CM7 somewhere. Check the q&a.

Alright, thanks! I did give V12 a shot, but that too gave me a bootloop. I'll try it again later at some point to see if it just wasn't an exceedingly long first boot startup time. :D

Hey guys, i'm new to modding phones, i've been modding consoles and other electronics for years tho so this has been fun the passed couple of Weeks. Anyways I have a couple comments and a couple questions.

I've been screwing around with cm7 for the passed week and was doing good on nightly 104. been riddled with problems with 123, I haven't had much success.got FCs for com.Android.phone when flashing over my 104. had to do a factory reset to fix it.then started getting FCs for market after using titanium to restore all my apps.I figured out my datadata partition was almost full so I moved my games and big apps to sd and it has seemed to have cleared up the issue.

I was also running glitch v11 with 104 but got Bootloop trying it on 123 my guess is the updates to the kernel. Is anyone using an alternative kernel with 123 or 124? I'd love to get back to 1.5GHz ;).

Also i'm not sure if this is the right topic to post this question but since i'm writing a book here I may as well ask. I'm on Rogers in Canada and can't for the life of me get my GPS to work. It won't lock on to any satellites, no matter what modem I flash to. I can't remember what my original modem version was cause I made a classic noob mistake and didn't do a nandroid backup of my original ROM. I guess I was too excited to start experimenting. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to go about fixing this.I've searched high and low and have tried a few fixes to no avail. I have flashed back to stock Rogers froyo and still nothing. I'm wondering if I just have a botched

gps as I didn't even try it when I was on stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cursedwave:
Recently, for whatever reason, whenever I lock my phone, the governor setting goes right back to "ondemand" (whether it's on Voltage Control or CM settings) no matter what I try to do. I read a little bit mentioning that it gets overwritten on lock, but I'm confused as to why it suddenly started happening.

In any case, what can I do to make the setting stick? I think I'm supposed to maybe edit some file, but I couldn't find out exactly which one...

Edit: So I did a little digging around I think it's because of the brief time I spent on the Platypus Kernel, and somehow, the setting stayed even after going back to Glitch. I know I have to edit the screenstate_scaling file, but since I'm on Glitch again, would deleting the file altogether solve the problem? Or is this a bad idea?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br3nd064:
Yeah, there's a known issue with Glitch and the latest CM7 nightlies right now, but they're working on fixing it. I don't think an update will take very long tbh.

Which modems have you tried so far?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miller420:
jk3, jq1, and kc1. They seem to be all I9000 modems tho. I don't know if that's the problem, but when I flashed back to stock Rogers jl1 i wasn't able to get a lock either. kc1 seems to be the best so far as i get 1700kbs up and down with HSDPA and 11000kbs down and 2000kbs up with wifi, but no damn gps. I've been looking for i896 modems packed for cm7 but couldn't find any to try.

edit. Ok I've now tried a ton of modems and none seem to get gps to work. I'm starting to think more and more it is a hardware issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ki77erB:
I posted this question on the CM forums too...

The recent update (Nightly 126) gave me some options for LED notifications. What I really want is for the LED lights to stay on when the screen is on. (Like what Keep The Lights On used to do). There is an option in the settings under advanced that says "Always Pulse - LED will pulse while screen is on". When I select this, the LED lights stay on which is great...but they also stay on when the screen is off which will kill my battery quick. I just want the lights on when the screen is on.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
I am on #126 also and my 4 soft button lights do NOT stay on when the screen is off. When I hit the power button the screen turns off and the lights turn off with it.

Hey guys, does anyone know how to turn off the led notifications? It`s a bit annoying. I tried downloading BLN and when I opened it, it says that BLN isn`t active. I really want to turn off the LED notifications. Any clues how to do that?

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

But mine stays on. Like when I get a sms, it will stays on even if the screen is off and it will only turn off when I read the message. And I'm also on build #126.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmik67:
The always pulse option in advanced LED settings is supposed to make the LEDs stay on when the screen is on. It seems like it is not working correctly at the moment and we are working on it.

This is LED notifications, not BLN.... they are different implementations and dont work with each other, so BLN app wil not work

As for disabling LED notifications, afaik you need to go to the unconfigured section, choose each app > LED mode > Force LED off..... the default setting for the LEDs is to be enabled, so if you dont change any settings they will just work.

BTW - seriously? you think the LEDs staying on are draining your battery?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ki77erB:
You dont think the LED's being stuck on 24 hours a day will affect the battery life? I know they dont use as much as the screen itself...but they have to use SOME power and I would think being on all the time would be a noticeable amount. Am I wrong?

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Ok...I think I figured something else out. When that LED Pulse is selected, the lights will only stay on ONLY if there is a notification, which I guess is how its supposed to work. If all the notifications are cleared out, the lights wont stay on. So Im back to having no lights on all the time that the screen is on. And from what I understand, BLN isnt something Cynogenmod is going to put in for us right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
If you look at and clear whatever message you have on your phone they wont stay lit up. It would be nice if at some point now that we have working led notifications to set up times for them to be on and times for them to be off kind of like we had in the bln app. BUT I for one use it often and like it, since at work I have it on silent most of the time and can just look at my phone and know I have a message or missed call.

TechMike thanks for a more thorough explanation of how it is set up. I was just guessing when I was setting it up.

Need kernel help

Cliffs notes: nightly 104 worked with Glitch, none of the nightlies since work with Glitch. WTF?

I was running nightly 104 first with the Talon kernel and then the Glitch kernel and it was working great. I flashed 125 and then 130 today, and I haven't been able to get it to boot with Glitch or Talon. Just to try it I flashed 130, booted, reboot to recovery, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache, flashed Glitch again and rebooted. It sat on the CM7 boot screen for about 45 minutes, no bootloop just the arrow circling the whole time. I went back and re-flashed 130 and it works. Am I doing something wrong or do the new nightlies not support other kernels?

Did something change in the nightlies making our device not compatible with certain apps?

Not to mention they are apps I've used plenty before. ..is this an issue for anyone else? :confused:

*UPDATE* I went to the market on my PC and downloaded a couple apps that I was missing. It said the app would be installed on my device shortly. I've actually used this feature before which is pretty cool.. but it didn't work for these apps. And actually, in the device box.. i dropped down the bar and saw a greyed out duplicate of my device- only with "device not compatible" next to it. I'm assuming that's what the market on my phone is seeing as a device. Odd that it's exactly the same as the device that isn't greyed out. (on my PC) either way it isn't working. :(

I have never been able to get Theme Chooser to work right no matter what nightly I'm on. I tried the Synergy theme and it will change the notification tray and the widgets, but only some of the app icons change and the three apps at the bottom of the screen that stay there(usually phone, app drawer and browser) never change. I believe the theme is supposed to put five spot down there. Also tried with the themes that come with it like Androidify and get the same thing. I do restart after i hit apply. Am I doing something wrong?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
The apps on the bottom are apart of your launcher. You can mess with the settings and make more icons down there (like 5) or however you want. Also, not positive which theme your trying to use and what it actually themes.. but what I've seen before is some themes will overwrite certain parts.. while others remain as the old theme. Sometimes this is caused by themes overlapping or just simply, the parts that didn't change- are not apart of the new theme.

For the most part, I use the theme chooser and has always worked fine for me. I do get the error saying (something i forget) when i go to apply, but i ignore and all is well. Chances are the theme did what it was supposed to do :o

Try to grab theme chooser themes from market and pick a theme.. download and install. Open up the theme chooser and try it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DenSilent:
Here is my list of problems with cm7:

1. Captivate shutdowns (not reboot), when charging and not in use. If I use phone during charging, everything is OK. Shutdown at a random time, not immediately.

2. Captivate reboots if mobile data enabled and it is not in use. Very annoying, because it happens at least one time in a hour . If I turn on "flight mode" I can get 30+ hours uptime without problems.

There is no reboots, while phone in use.

3. Sometimes phone lost wireless connection (Wi-Fi or 3g) for a few seconds and reconnects (while in use). Not a big problem, but annoying when using IM.

So, there are definitely some problems with sleeping mode and radio part. I saw some of this symptoms in the internet on different forums, but I didn't see a working solution.

In that moment I have latest nightly build (clean, no apps) and kb1 modem. I use kb1, because sometimes, I have "no service" issue.

My carrier is "Megafon" (Russia), phone connected to HSDPA most of the time. I use my captivate like a PDA and don't make phone calls. Background data always enabled. My captivate is a new one.

So, any ideas? Or, maybe I must provide more specific info?
