So, should I understand this to mean that gb source is now available for the Captivate? Or are you referring to the I9000 source, in light of the recent gb update?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derv23:
I had the same problem once. You need to move as many apps as you can to the sd card. That happens when your data/data partition is full. To check, go to the terminal emulator and type df. This will show you how much space is being used by the various partitions. If your data/data is full or nearly full, that's the culprit. Simply go to applications/manage applications under settings and move all the larger apps/games to the sd card.

You can also try cache cleaner ng in the Android Market. It clears the cache from all your apps every day. I've been using it for months and haven't had the issue come up since.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynotletmeusemyemailaddr:
Thank you so much, that seems to be the underlying cause. My datadata partition is currently 77% full with 40MB available. And I had just cleaned all the cache as part of the solution I quoted in my edit above. So I probably hit that ceiling. The Captivate is pretty capacious. Is there any way to resize the datadata partition to be much larger? I don't care if it minimizes my internal user space storage, as I have a 16GB microSD.

I downloaded CacheCleaner, thanks for the tip.

I will also try moving my larger apps - is there any way of knowing which are the biggest space hogs?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derv23:
When you are on the manage applications page, hit the menu button and sort by size. And as far as resizing your partitions, it's not an option. People have beat that one into the ground on this thread. CM7 just uses different partition sizes, only way to change it is to go to a Samsung rom.

I am pretty sure I am on froyo bootloaders but I want to know for sure. Is there a way to tell on the phone?

Also, is it worth it to load GB bootloaders while on CM to be able to try some of the newer ICS ROMs out there?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
It doesn't matter which bootloaders you are on. CM7 and this version of ICS both can work from froyo or gingerbread bootloaders. So no need to change them. Flashing bootloaders is the easiest way to permanantly brick your phone if something g goes wrong during the flash. Saying that though, as long as your careful flashing bootloaders MOST of the time you wont have an issue.

Back in the eclair-froyo days I was flashing bootloaders alot and never had a permenant brick. I flashed the gingerbread bootloaders a couple times after issues as I went back to froyo bootloaders and then back to gingerbread bootloaders. BUT it only took ONE TIME that Odin failed for me during the flash that I hard bricked my phone and took jtag to get it fixed. I had two cappys, one for messing with so it wasn't too big of a deal for me since I still had a working phone. But if this is your sole phone then I would say don't flash bootloaders.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galakanokis:
Thanks for the input. I am tempted to try the ICS being talked about and a few have mentioned that you have to be GB bootloaders. Might wait a bit to try but the itch is getting bad.

I have flashed between GB and Froyo a few times as I have not been successful in loading CM from and GB ROM, only Froyo as the instructions say. Tried a number of ROMs but keeping coming back to CM.

Thanks again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
I too have i897 gingerbread bootloaders on cappy and CM7 flashes fine. You just have to flash cm7 twice. The first flash of cm7 it seems to only flash part of it and gets stuck at the bootscreen or kernel screen. Then if you reboot into recovery and just flash it a second time CM7 will fully boot up. You can come from ANY bootloaders as of a few months ago, i897 froyo,i897 gingerbread, and I believe i9000 gingerbread bootloaders will work now.

So give CM7 a chance the way I just wrote it above. Once you see it is working make a nandroid of it using rom manager or through cwm. Then IF you want to try the captivate ICS just do the SAME EXACT METHOD as for CM7 above. Flash it once and reboot it, it will get stuck again at the bootscreen or kernel splash screen. Let it try for a minute or two. Hold down the three buttons until the att screen flashes once or twice (for me it seems to vary between letting the att screen come up once or twice) and let go of the buttons completely. Cwm will come up, flash the ICS again. Then it will boot up completely in a few minutes. Make a nandroid of it once you try it out if you want to.

To go back to CM7 from ICS just power off phone, hold down three buttons until att screen flashes once or twice, let go of all buttons, cwm comes up, wipe data/factory reset. Next flash the latest nightly of CM7 you had, let it try to reboot (it probably will), then once completed hold down the power button, reboot, recovery, backup&restore, choose your nandroid backup, let it boot up and your back to a fully working rom.

It is fun to check out ICS for sure, yet CM7 is kick ass once you get it installed and working how you want. I can't wait until CM9 ICS version.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galakanokis:
Some great info, wish I had that when I first tried CM7 from 2.3.3 a month or so ago. A double flash would have been a lot easier than what I did.

CM7 has been great, no real issues. Can't get wifi to work on the V13 of glitch kernel but that's it?

The progress on ICS is fantastic. Really can't wait for CM9 as 7 is amazing so I can't imagine what 9 is like.

Thanks again. I will look into moving apps. For now, it is running 100% with Cache Cleaner running weekly.

Just a suggestion - sticky this problem/solution, make it a part of the wiki, make it clear and visible to all who use CM for Captivate.

I am a fairly technical user and had no idea about this. I was about to leave CM for stock (gasp!) because I didn't know it was a known issue. I've spent literally dozens of hours reading CM Captivate fora over the last several months just trying to learn enough to get to this stage, but that obviously wasn't enough to know about this known issue which affects every single CM Captivate. I highly suggest you post this information in stickied FAQs, a sticky post, on the Captivate wiki, etc. This knowledge is fundamental to using CM on the Captivate.

Been using CM7 stable with the Glitch Kernel for about 2 weeks now and I love it. Haven't had any problems so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uzbeque:
Hello, I'm using CM7, and flashed Glitch kernel some days ago, and after that talking-sound became awful.

Today switched to another kernel (talon). Now phone is not booting, it is hanging on blue android guy:), also, cannot enter to CWM.

Only choice is flashing the rom again, but I dont want to lose my settings, widgets etc.

Question is: can I flash kernel through Odin? pls help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
You can flash any kernel through Odin. Or, better, Heimdall.

Also, if it's hanging on the "blue android guy"...how long did you wait? Because the kernel install scripts for most kernels will wipe your Dalvik cache at the time of installation, and your first boot after that will take several minutes.

They just don't work. I believe if you flip back a few pages or do a search, they may have even narrowed it down to a specific manufacturer, but I don't remember which one.

It's not an issue I have ever had. Did you restore data from TiBU, monkey with the apks, or anything before this started happening?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wysoserious:
No, this was my very first time installing CM7.1. My first root/flash on the phone. Is there a way I can re do the whole process to where it will work. If not I will probably need to figure a way to un root it somehow.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
I would try reflashing it first. Just boot back into recovery and reflash the same installer. Maybe it was just a bad flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wysoserious:
still no luck, I installed (flashed) the stable one. update-cm-7.1.0-Captivate-signed.zip... I am wondering if if has to do with my internal storage, because it recognizes it two sd cards, and one internal storage which is only 1.75gb. Could that be the issue? It has a 8gb SD card with the standard 16gb internal memory?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Nah, that's what it should say. If you have an external SD card installed, you should see three: SD card (your internal SD media storage), internal storage (application space, not accessible except with root access), and "Additional Storage: /mnt/emmc", which is your external SD card.

Your camera issue is weird, it's not a known problem from what I know. Have you tried downloading it again and reflashing it from that? Maybe it's a bad download.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthVesh:
as far as I know you need to put it on your internal storage which should be the 16gb partition...to avoid confusion, I usually pull removable sdcard so i can only mount the internal partition to copy the ROM...the 1.75gb partition sounds like the apps partition which is not the one put it on i would think :-p

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeadlessBourgeois:
AFAIK you need a Samsung ROM to use their apps.

But there are a few Dialer replacements in the market, such as Go Contacts and Dialer One, I suggest you try them out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Your contacts probably restored from google sync, so there was no need to manually restore them.

The CM7 thread recommends you be on Froyo bootloaders. People have used Gingerbread bootloaders, but it's not recommended. I'm not sure what you mean by needing the mtd version, but you should be able to just do it from CWM recovery. Rom manager just does the same thing but automatically. It's really up to you, but I prefer doing it manually.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
The reason it says Froyo bootloaders is because CM7 used to only boot from the Froyo bootloaders. That's no longer the case; it doesn't matter what bootloaders you are on now. It won't affect the ROM at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grey Ghost:
Hey guys, speaking of bootloaders and things I just wanted to quickly ask if I should be all set for a cm7 install through my current setup which is Gingerbread Kj3 leak with respective GB bootloaders and boog's kernel with CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.5

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swegs:
Very close to taking the plunge and flashing to CM7. Just a a few clarifying questions first.

Currently: At&t Captivate running the stock 2.2 and i'm just getting fed up with the stupid slow performance of my phone. Been reading a lot in the forums so i'm not totally new to this but...

It seems the general consensus is that the stable CM7 rom is a bit out of date compared to the nightly builds. I want the added features of the nightly builds but I need one that's quite stable, My job 100% revolves around being able to send and receive text msg's so I would greatly appreciate any recommendations as to which # nightly build might be in my best interest.

If I flash to CM7 will I have to re-install all of my apps? as I understand it CM uses a completely different file system than sammy.

Bootloaders....I obviously have the froyo ones but seems like theres lots of talk about the gingerbread ones, how important is it that I upgrade my bootloader to GB ones?

custom kernels...seems I hear about Glitch a lot but I haven't had much luck pinning down what makes it the preferred option to so many.

I seem to recall a couple people on the CM forums mentioning that when they are playing music from google music that when the screen turns off the music stops playing. Does this affect all CM7 roms or is this just a small subset of people who have this problem? This would be a total deal breaker for me if its true, tried to find more information on the subject with little success.

sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
The most recent nightly is 181, which is very stable. There will be no new nightlies for a little while because the build bot is broken. If you want even newer features, makeleg's Kang builds are also very stable (link in my sig). I've never had the slightest stability problem with any of them.

Yes, you will have to reinstall all of your apps. CM doesn't just use a different file system, it uses an entirely different partition structure. The first thing the installer does is completely reformat and repartition your phone. About all you'll keep is your bootloaders and whatever is on your SD card. All system/user/app data will be lost.

Back everything up with TiBu before flashing and this shouldn't be a problem.

It is not necessary to have GB bootloaders to run CM. Personally, I advise everyone to flash the Captivate GB bootloaders anyway. Not for CM, but simply because the Captivate GB bootloaders can literally boot anything. The Froyo/Eclair bootloaders cannot boot any Samsung (i897/i9000) GB ROMS. Flash them once and never have to worry about it again.

Glitch rules. Excellent OC/UV, better organized recovery menu, screenstate scaling...what's not to love?

I do not use Google Music myself (I use Winamp), but I decided to fire up the app and check. I started playing a song and turned off the screen. It continued playing just fine.

If I had to guess, the problem may be that people are playing songs stored online and their wifi/powersave settings are set to disable wifi after a certain period when the screen is off. If so, that would kill the music. Again, just a guess, but I didn't notice a problem with Google Music continuing to play.

New to this ROM.

Should I enable "Update Notifications"? What info is seen on their server from my phone if I register my phone on their servers?

Is this nightly updates for official stable updates?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
CM7 update notifications won't work unless you have the premium version of ROM Manager installed. If you are talking about the Anonymous statistics, it merely counts how many people have installed each version of CM. Nightly updates and stable updates are totally different things, and which one it gives you will most likely depend on what you installed. But I wouldn't expect new versions of CM7 with CM9 in the works.

But does anyone know how to troubleshoot Gmail sync not working? I've rebooted, enabled/disabled sync, and nothing. Like I get my emails and stuff, but if I delete them, they will still be there and unread when I go to desktop gmail. Also, I can't send anything. I've had this happen before but I think it just went away after a while. Strange problem, huh?

My captivate thinks it's a GT-I9000

Hi, I have a question that is almost certainly answered already somewhere out there but I am having a hell of a time Googling it (my apologies). I have a Samsung Captivate (on ATT in the US) I'm trying to go to Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable using the directions on the wiki (won't let me attach the url),

by using the "Method via ROM Manager" section. I get a series of error messages that look like the ROM Manager is angry because it wants the phone to ID itself as an SGH-i896 or SGH-i897. In my "About phone" section my phone is self-IDing as a GT-I9000, ever since I installed Darky and ytt3r's v8.0 ROM with kernel 2.6.32.9 reoriented_balls #3, which I think is a captivate rom made from a GT-I9000 leak of Froyo if I remember right.

I'm guessing that telling the ROM manager my phone is a GT-I9000 and downloading that cyanogenmod image is a recipe for disaster, so my guess is that I need to find a safe way to convince my phone it is a captivate again, on some usable ROM, before installing cyanogenmod.

Any help/advice/links very greatly appreciated!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
This one is actually pretty easy. Grab a root file explorer and look at your build.prop file in the / directory. Change the references to GT-I9000 to SGH-I897.

There's really not a need to use Rom manager, though. Just download the latest stable from the development section and flash it twice from CWM recovery.

SD card checks errors forever never mounts

Hi Guys! I've been running Cyanogenmod 7.1 Stable with the Glitch Kernal for almost a week now on my captivate with little to no issues...untill today. I decided to reboot and do a battery calibration, and now I can't get my SD Card to mount! It just started firing up like normal, but this time it would never stop error checking and mount the thing. I rebooted, re-insterted, I even tried firing it up without the SD, letting everything load, and then inserting it, no luck. I did a fresh format on it when I put cyanogenmod on.

I've been using this SDcard since '09 with no issues, so what is the deal? Actually recovery can read it! Can I disable error checking somehow and have it just load? This is very frustrating as a majority of my apps, and game data are on the SD card.
