Hey I do have a Question.

Custom Fonts. I know in other roms we had the ability to change the fonts within the options, and I know its not in CM7, but is there anything we can do to have this option? Like some kind of app or something that gives us the ability to change fonts?

how long should the wait time be for the lock screen to time-out and turn the screen off?

for example.... your phone is locked, you hit the pwr button to see the clock, then you just set the phone down without hitting the pwr button again to turn the screen off. during this time, you never unlock the phone. it seems that my screen never turns off while i'm on the lock screen unless i manually do it. i'm timing it at 5+ minutes now. it seems like it should probably follow the standard screen timeout setting.

Ok, thanks to all. I am not sure what exactly did it for me, besides persistence and watching the video but I want to give one piece of advice to anyone having trouble installing. Follow the video instructions EXACTLY.......reflash to stock JF6 and after you begin the instalation there should never be a point where the phone gets to boot to the OS untill you are completely done the procedure.....

Wanted to say that once i got it running, this OS was awesome, smoothe, fast and feature rich. Too buggy right now for me to use daily (which I new it would be but I wanted to see) so I flashed back to my signature. Can't wait for the official realease, oe at least a few more days for something less buggy. Guess I'll have to invest in a dev phone so that I can have one to play with instead of staying up hours trying to fix the one I need to use the next day (not that I didn't enjoy most of it =) )
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drwx:
another thing that i've noticed, and it may not be a cm7 problem, is that google voice doesn't close when you hit the "back" button.

example.... you open google voice, look at your messages, and then hit the "back" button to exit the app. it closes and then immediately reopens. after this, you are actually able to use the "back" button to close the app.

i've tried reinstalling the app and i get the same behaviour. i also did a clean flash of cm7 yesterday to try to alleviate some issues with lp. even after this, i get the same behaviour with google voice.

HandCent force close on after nightly

He all,

I had been running perception with the speedmod kernel till I found this one.

I installed everything, got cm7 running fine following the video. I installed the nightly which was 3011 and everything was fine. I was using handcent ok.

The new nightly (3013) came out and I installed it, then handcent started FC. I reinstalled from fresh and handcent worked fine on the cm7 intitial. So I installed the 3011 nightly again and once again FC. So I used my nandroid b/u. And all is fine runnng on the initial.

Though I did notice that on the written install procedure the format /systerm etc. and he doesn't do that on the video. Though that shouldn't make a difference on the update. The update instuctions just say to do a nandroid b/u first.

any ideas??

Thanks

Andre

Hey guys,

this morning I:

Used CWM and formatted /systerm, /data, /cache. I noticed during install that data and cache are formatted anyway.

Installed from .zip the intial, then went straight to install from .zip the nightly 3013. Installed from zip gapp. Rebooted and everthing is as normal. Handcent is NOT FC. So I guess the next question is will the same thing happen after I install another nightly at a later date.

MMS Problems with Video?

The other tread deteriorated into a pissing match and I think my question got lost in the many angry pages so I am going to re-post this here.

Has anyone had trouble with receiving video on MMS?

I can receive pictures just fine, although they say in properties that they are only 1kb.

But incoming video comes through blank and says its also only 1kb.

The video was only 263kb so it shouldn't have been a problem with ATT's 600kb limit.

I looked in settings and cant find anything pertinent to video MMS reception. The video player works fine as does the picture viewer. And searching this and the other thread turned up nothing. I even rebooted, didnt help.

Any ideas? I am running the 03/13/2011 nightly and have not really had any other problems recently.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatalexception87:
Alight... So Ive been lurking in these forums for years, and this is probably the first time that I've posted something, but figured I would ask and see if this is an isolated problem or not. Ive flashed a few different roms (Serendipity, Cognition, etc..), so I've been around the block a few times with the flashing and formatting. Now with that said, this is also the first time ive tried something still in development.

First off, great job devs. This thing is superb as far as quality and speed so far, with very few issues that ive come across.

So now my issue... Call quality seems fine while sitting still or even walking about, but every time I make or receive a call while driving, i'm told by the other end there is a lot of static and electronic noises like we have a bad connection. I can hear them just fine, clear as its ever been, and showing full service on the service bars. Ive changed from the packaged radio (JL3, from what ive read) to JK4 which I learned is supposedly better on battery. The problem exists on both radios...

Any ideas? Its not really a specific error, so I cant really see the need for a logcat or anything, but if yall want one, just lemme know and I can see about getting one the next time the issue arises.

When flashing CM7, is the filesystem converted to EXT4?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zuN!:
I'm reading the development forum and found this

"No need to flash back to stock as long as your are on a kernel that support EXT4 and have enabled the lagifx options"

So would I have to convert the filesystem from RFS to EXT4 with, let's say, Speedmod prior to flashing CM7 or can I flash it without doing any conversion.

Unfortunately, this problem is likely due to the lack of background noise cancellation due to the missing Audience drivers. Atinm is working on Audience support (which will also require a compatible modem, such as KB1 which does not work well right now since audience drivers are missing), but in the meantime you may want to invest in a good, noise cancelling, bluetooth headset.

Ahhh, that makes sense. I knew he mentioned he was working on that part, I just didn't know the implications of not having it.

This sounds like a restore gone bad - if you do a restore, only restore data. Do not restore system. Also, adb logcat is like tail -F - it will never end. Just ctrl-c when it slows down (meaning when it has caught up to real time) and you'll have the data you need.

I have seen it reported that sometimes on a 1007 Captivate, you need to flash i9000 modems twice for them to work properly and get the best results. I have not done much testing, but I have had an issue with an i9000 modem in the past and for CM7 I flashed the modem twice and have had no issues. For the little bit of extra time it takes, it doesn't hurt anything to try it (especially if you get poor results on a particular modem).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoni45:
Would you terribly mind elaborating on this?

I'm aware that it's not part of the current system, I'm guessing that means that it never will be part of CM7 (not in the specific form that's in the Samsung ROM, or any form)?

Further, I'm guessing that this is something you guys *choose* not to add into the ROM -- is there a way to do this, should someone want to add it in? Would the work behind something like that be particularly extensive?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
it will never be a part of CM7 as it isn't in AOSP/CM repositories. to my knowledge, there is no way to just *make* it work, since they're calling into hooks for samsung's framework and whatnot. go ahead and try it, but we're not going to walk you through the process and necessary libs since it doesn't serve any interest to the team.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoni45:
I wasn't asking you to... =)

All I wanted to know was whether this was something someone could theoretically do as an addon, or if this is entirely impossible... So just to confirm, this necessarily *would* require Samsung's framework to work? I.e., it's not something that can be easily ported?
