I had issues once in a while on some OC kernels when I would get into bootloops so I kept this stock kernel on my sdcard and would just reboot into cwm and flash it. Yes you can reflash the nightly but this is ONLY the kernel so it flashes fast and I wouldn't lose things like my zip-themed files, font changer fonts I had set, or anything like when I reflash nightlies. So download this from my dropbox account and put on your internal SD card and flash whenever needed. IT IS FOR THE CAPTIVATE RUNNING NEWEST CM7 NIGHTLIES.

[Q]Should I use a custom kernel

Are there any benefits from using the Glitch/Platypus kernels for CM7 for a person who will NOT be OC/UV their phone. Glitch I see is really just a OC/UV kernel which seems to not have any other enhancement on my phone except for maybe more battery drain, which could be my imagination. I have yet to try Platypus but seems more promising. So for a person who does not OC which kernel would you prefer? Should I just stay with stock CM7 kernel or try Platy for the voodoo sound enhancements?

Hey guys I've been running CM7 since 3/4 and now I'm about to update to the 3/11 version. I noticed there is an updated gapps package as well as of 3/7. After installing 3/11 update, can I install the new gapps package? I'm guessing this will conflict with the old package considering the update doesn't wipe. In order to install new gapps do I need to wipe? Thanks in advance.

Google apps aren't included in any of the cm7 updates, that's why its a separate download, it won't conflict with anything, no need to wipe either. Just install in the recovery.

Migrating SMS from Froyo to CM7

Has anyone been able to get Titanium Backup to restore SMS messages backed up under 2.2.1 to CM7? I know most people don't restore "system data" between different ROMs, but I have many SMS Messages that I would like to/need to keep for different reasons. I have tried to restore them with the "migrate system data" checked, but no dice.

I'm not complaining about CM7, I know it is beta and all that, so there is no need to go there, just seeing if anyone has been able to restore SMS from Froyo.

Thanks in advance.

Stock Calendar, Contacts, Clock/Alarm

Hi

I am very happy with the performance with this ROM. But there are things I miss in certain apps.

I really liked the stock Calendar, Contacts, Clock/Alarm and the Calculator.

I did a search but was unable to find . How can I get just those specific apps back?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Unfortunately those same Samsung apps wont work with this ROM, but that's kind of the idea behind CM7- take out all the "fancy" features and give the user bare bone apps that work well. And what you get in the end is an ultra fast ROM, super snappy navigation, and a clean look. I miss some of those features too but the benefits of CM7 far outweigh that of Samsung ROMs. ..for me anyway :p

Which Kernel?

Hello all,

I am a bit confused on which kernel I should use with this ROM and how kernels work in the first place. If I flash CM7.1, will it replace the kernel I already had with a new one? Or is flashing a ROM separate from the kernel and should not affect it? I am just curious because I want to use the best possible kernel with CM7 and am a bit confused on how this works.

All help is greatly appreciated!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixstringsg:
CM7 flashes the stock CM7 kernel. Then there are custom options like Glitch and Platypus.

Thank you very much! What would you recommend are the best bootloaders to be using when flashing CM7? I know GB ones are supported now, but would it be safer to use Froyo bootloaders? I just want to be sure I don't brick my phone!

Thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] element00:
Thanks. Some of the features I don't think I can fare without :(

Obviously these may not affect others:

Simpler Calendar - Month view only shows indications for appointments or no appointments rather than the details. Small fonts, make it a bit hard to see even in Day view

Contacts Features - Lost ability to swipe left/right for text/call. No alphabetical list on the size for easier jumping. Lost icons for Google/ActiveSync indication

Easy to use Clock/Alarm - Used to have one click to turn on/off alarm. Lost Smart Alarm (the melody ringtone may be available somewhere)

Calculator Features - Cant see previous calculations (there is a clear history button but I cant see the history...). I am sure that there are other calculator apps on the market, this may be easy to replace.

Camera Options - All options have been put under one menu making it harder to change options when experimenting or working in different environments. No panorama mode.

I will try to go on without these or see if similar replacements are available.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Custom ringtones you can just use root explorer and paste them into sdcard/media/audio/ringtones also when your looking in there you can also move any notification tones into sdcard/media/audio/notifocations

For speed dial you can use apps from the market like Dialer One which works pretty well. There are others in the market but I haven't tried them.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
You could try the Swype beta, as suggested, but I've had problems with it in the past in terms of it randomly "expiring" on me out of the blue. May have been due to ROM switching, possibly user error, I dunno. Here's what's worked for me.

1. Go here to D/L PaulDiddy's black themed Swype. You can use another one...but PD's is sexy. ;)

2. Drop it on your SD card somewhere, and unzip it.

3. Manually move Swype.apk to /system/app on your phone, and libSwypeCore.so to /system/lib using Root Exploer/ES File Explorer/{insert your favorite file explorer app here}.

You can't flash it in CWM if you're running CyanogenMOD because the installer script in the zip tries to mount /system to a non-existent place for us.

4. Reboot.

5. Swype will not be available as an option for you to select, so you have to monkey with it. Open Titanium Backup, and do a backup of the app "Android Keyboard."

6. Once that's done, uninstall Android Keyboard using TiBu.

7. Then, reinstall Android Keyboard.

8. Swype should now be your default input method.

Configure options at Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> Swype settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiuk:
I used to have the same problems with the Swype beta (everyone did), but a couple months ago they updated the installer and I've had no issues since. They also made it less annoying to use with an updated version of Swype itself.

On the topic of theming, anyone manage to do so with the beta? I had a skin I made that I used to use before I was on CM, but trying to use it with the beta always invalidated it. Haven't tried since the new installer.

Brightness locked low, blue tint. Cant restore beautiful screen.

Interesting problem: My screen brightness switches to a very dark, blue-tinted profile during startup, though I didn't change any settings.

Background: I went to nightly 154 on Friday from a different captivate rom (Continuum 6.1), restored everything I wanted, got things running very well. Last night, I went to bed reading a book on FBreader with the brightness turned all the way down in app, to the point that it was lower than system brightness; ie the system was set to max dim, but FBreader even dimmer than that, so exiting the app would brighten the screen. I set the phone down in FBreader, then awoke this morning to find it more or less crashed. I could power on and off, with acompanied CRT-screen anmation, could bring up the long-press power menu (though rebooting didn't work), and get hepatic feedback from pressing hardware buttons, but other than those things, the screen was black. I pulled the battery to reboot. Upon rebooting, my screen looks fine through the animation and desktop, but somewhere in the initial boot, after SD card check starts but before the process is done, the screen dims substantially and takes on a blueish cold tint. I can't seem to get rid of this using any of the screen brightness settings or rendering effect settings (though N1 reduces the tint a bit). What's more, any of the settings I change revert upon reboot, which I'm doing a lot to test new settings. Wiping cache partition, davlik cache and updating to nightly 158 have not helped. I'm trying to avoid a full wipe, but haven't done this yet. Any ideas?

Sounds like your data/data got too full. That WILL cause all kinds of force closes and.issues. you can use terminal emulator to.check your data/data partition. Just type su then hit enter. (You probably need.to give it admistrator rights then back out of the app and open it again). Then type df enter. Scroll down and look for data/data and see if it over 90%. If it is close or above 90% you will start having issues. With deleting apps and rebooting you will see your data/data partition go down. Once way to fix it.is to keep some of your apps on your sdcard rather than internal.
