Their RC6b update has been up there for a while, I saw the changelog a few days ago and it was just a kernel and theme change.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Hopefully by the time RC7 is released, the CM7 devs will have released the updated lib files and hopefully that will fix the rotation issues with certain kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] alan090:
well i started with stock att 2.1

then following instructions i flashed the speedmod kernel using odin and flashed into CWR - i flashed the efs file and then back into download mode

I flashed the initial kernel and made sure everything is unchecked

now i tried to get into the CWR with the initial kernel and it just shows the boots screen or when i try the 3 button combo the att logo then the CM galaxy s logo shows up but nothing happens

I try adb and nothing responds

It worked fine after the speedmod kernel but after the initial kernel it broke :*(
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
New Sense rom build is going to be up soon, wifi is working!
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Not sure why u can't get in but fyi I'm pretty sure u cant get into it from adb from any rom on a cm7 base
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Did you flash a samsung gb before
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
So to fix this mms viewing problem, do I need to get a mms theme or something?

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] aasheet:
i want to install the rc 6 but i want the 3d gallery too

how do i install tht ?

also

i have manually added many fb contacts with existing ones , and when ever i reflash and sync , i have to add all of them again

is there any way tht i can store the contacts they way they are and restore them after flashing ?

i am asking before trying titanium and other stuff cause i dont want multiple contacts one from the restore and again from my gmail acct after i sync ...
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Shouldn't he have kept re partition selected?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
no. all you have to do is UN-CHECK auto reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
If you try to turn your phone on will it let u?
[Captivate Android Development] alan090:
so i followed the directions from stock....

not sure what i did wrong

- it just seems like the kernel does not work for some reason and the recovery uses the kernel in these phones - and whenever i try the download mode button combo it just turns on as normal :(

think i might need a jig

yes my phone turns on but does not respond to adb or start into recovery / download

edit : it simply shows the att logo and/or the galaxy s/ cyanogen mod logo
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Try reflashing initial kernel
[Captivate Android Development] alan090:
i would if i could get into download mode :p
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
So if your phone won't come on completely that scratches out the 3 button fix. What button combo are you using to get into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] alan090:
im using the 2 vol button combo - with sim and battery out and have it plugged in while inserting battery - just turns it on as normal though :(
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
surprised there hasnt been any updates since rc6
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
I'm confused. When just pressing the power button will your phone boot up regularly?

Do you have Odin open while trying to enter download
[Captivate Android Development] alan090:
no phone just locks up on the cm logo screen regardless of what I do, odin does not detect the phone
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Try having battery in while holding volume buttons then plug in usb
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
+1

Edit: mcord didn't someone else have this problem a while back and it took forever to find a fix.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I don't remember but initial kernel should not effect button combos

Please tell me how you are going into recovery

Edit, yes the other guy was holding power to get into dl mode
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
New Kang kernel is out.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Good ****

Try yet yet
[Captivate Android Development] wibi795:
Just flashed kangs kernel and it seems less laggy and more stability
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Prototype

Hadn't you tried that kernel flag cleaner
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Nah, haven't flashed a new kernel yet.

Gonna test it right now.

It works, I guess. I think it would be only useful if coming from the Platypus kernel, since that's the only one that add's onto the init.d scripts.
[Captivate Android Development] brendanmurphy:
Just flashed it aswell. No auto rotation but it feels so smooth compared to old version
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Done and done

The script is much faster then wiping cache and davlik on your own rotation works for me. Now time to play
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Auto rotate works for me as well.

I wish I could see the change-log to see if any of the CM7 kernel updates were added to it or not.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
Just flashed new kangs works great as does my rotation
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Download the kernel for captivate right?

Still confused about that...

From kangs website
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yes you want to download the Captivate version since it's for the Captivate.

Mcord, can you send me the build prop you edited a while back, want to take a look at it.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
so the walkthroughs in the first post are old and outdated, correct?

I have an above average experience level with flashing roms, but I'm still nervous since this is a little more in depth. Are there any walkthroughs up to date for the latest RC?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
http://miuicaptivate.weebly.com/install.html
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I can but all I do is edit product id.from galaxy s I 9000 to sgh-i897

Way back segnaro was altering the build prop to change the market signature. I use sgs tools to do that after flash. If you want me to post build prop for this build tryst identifies phone as sgh-i897 let me know I hanger it on my pc
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yeah, post it. Thanks.

I'll take a look at Segnaro's too just to make sure everything is correct.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Does the kernel have anything to do with reception? Just flashed the new kang kernel...way different reception level

Edit: never mind
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
here it is, could not attach because it is not a proper format for xda

i did the market fix as well then pulled my current build prop so this should have both fixes

[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:

I just put it in a zip folder and flashed it let see if it works
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
How bad is the battery life then?
[Captivate Android Development] rizzo269:
Im so tempted to try this out. I just watched the video and downloaded the files but I am still hesitant. The battery and lack of external sd still have me contemplating what to do. It looks awesome though
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
For some reason swype stopped working when I changed the kernel. Did the swype fix again and rebooted it another time just to make sure another reboot was the problem or not, and it still works.
[Captivate Android Development] mswirski:
Battery life is worse than Serendipty, but not super bad if you have a charger fairly often.

in 4 hours of light-moderate use, 35% of my battery has been used (from 100%).

Which means you shouldn't have a problem getting over 8.

Serendipty for comparsion, lasted about 16-18 on light/idle.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
As always depends on how you use the phone but I would say anywhere from 8hrs real heavy to 20ish no use
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Flash stops working for me every time i flash a kernel. Have to uninstall, clear cache and davlik, then reinstall. This also happened on cm7
[Captivate Android Development] rizzo269:
One thing I haven't seen is if you can import contacts from the sd card?
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Thank you very much to both of you! I think I'm about on the verge to switch...
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
You can always put the phone into airplane mode while you sleep, it'll help conserve battery.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
What is the most reliable and fast Kernel and Modem?? I don't want to mess with any oc or uv though...
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
if you dont want OC or UVing use the kang kernel and Jl3 Modem Combo
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Most recent kang kernel has oc/uv
[Captivate Android Development] Tchem:
just flashed JL3 not sure if i did it right performed it in CWM did not flash a new kernel kept it the same and everything is working fine full signal, wifi, mount, import external sd. using beta 6.

do i CWM the kang kernal because its a zip and odin cant see it??
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
There are really only 3 kernels that I know of (Kang, Escapists, Trident) I haven't used Kang and I have had positive and negative issues with the other two. Neither of which were huge deal breakers for me. I have used JK4 on mine and JL3 on my wife's and both seem to be averaging 10 hrs before needing charged. This is subject to the individual phone so what I have for me might not work well for you. And just because you use a kernel that allows oc/uv doesn't mean you have to use the features. You can run the kernel at 1000 mhz with no uv. I will say if you use a kernel that allows uv it will be damn near impossible to uv because of the incredible amount of time needed to slide the bar.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I haven't used the Kang kernel but you should be able to flash through recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The latest kang kernel fixed the Angry Birds Rio issue.

Escapist's kernel gave me a hard reboot and Trident gave me a boot loop before I could test it out.
[Captivate Android Development] Tchem:
im not on kankg kernel im currently using cm7 havnt changed
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
The kang kernel would flash through CWM. You can use Kang, TheEscapists, or Trident when for the Captivate kernel. So if you find one doesn't work well you know there are options.
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
I think a list of all available kernels in the OP would do this thread some justice and save a lot of posts
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Ok gentleman I take no credit for this

Working external sd, in regards to app seeing it

On sd make sure you have a folder named external

Open terminal emulator

Su

Mount --move /mnt/emmc /sdcard/external

Go to settings, system, unmount sd, mount. To be honest mine did not unmount

Done won't last through reboot though. I can play all my music, see all pictures. ; p

SGH-I897 Build Prop

This was edit by mcord11758.

I just put into a zip file for flash

all this does is make it not say GT-I9000
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
see if it fixes market

Search for faster fix
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
I had two build prop on my desk top but I fixed it and it works hold i am going to update
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
whats going on the the build.prop talk? you guys can just change it through root explorer which im pretty sure you already know if you wanna change the i9000 to i987. is there something else thats going on that i should know about?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Not particularly, I used sgs tools to get full market access so I think the build prop should also be modified for that. But as always just playing around
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
OK It work This will fix the market and adds SGH-I897

ya'll thank mcord11758

I just made it a flash file

If you got the 1st one sorry it was the wrong file won't mess anything up if you flashed it tho. Also my data was taking awhile so I re flashed my modem. Idk know if it had anything to do with it I just did it
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I'm going to include the edited build prop in the next update just to make it a little more captivate-y.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Hells yeah
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Looks like battery life has been improved with the updated CM7 sensors. Hopefully the update will be out soon.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
From the updated i9000 cm7 kernel? Would this be found in Kang's new captivate CM7 kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Sensors, not the kernel. Kernel updates have already been added to the lastest kang kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Its changes to the sensor drivers in the kernel. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Is MIUI weather working for anyone right now?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Have they been implemented in any of the available kernels
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Check that, no miui weather not working
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I think the servers are down since the miui dev app is also not working.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Well MIUI Android is now closed for good...

Not sure what we are going to for for the English packs now.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
What happened?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Drama between Mark and some other guy. All of the server data is now gone.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
So they get data on sense yet
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
No they got wifi and ext SD working and escapist said he might have an idea to get data working on his kernel version.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Shut the front door!!! That blows. Is he the only one that can do language packs? Hang on... need a moment..... mourning.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
Are there screen shots for sense yet?
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
So does that mean miui for cappy will "go away"? The updates that is
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I'm sure there are people who can translate it, but he's been the one translating it for all of the builds. Hopefully he will change his mind.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
yeah I played with it this morning.the headphones are backwards plugged is not plugged in and so on the wifi found my router but wasn't working idk maybe I didn't do something right
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I've got a reoriented sense kernel up, though out of date. I'm about to start building a new one.

Just thought I'd mention. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Here's a video of sense running on the "i9000" for anyone who hasn't seen it.

[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
That id nice to know Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Has anyone been able to transfer a file from PC to phone using bluetooth? When I try I get a bluetooth sharing app force close.

[Captivate Android Development] wibi795:
Is there any fix for the gps or can I use the sgs tool to fix it I get no lock
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
inaccutate signal bars

anyone besides me having problems with inaccurate signal bar
[Captivate Android Development] wibi795:
same issue here but sometimes
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Apply the market fix or flash the edited build prop and then search for Faster Fix in the market.
[Captivate Android Development] nooomoto:
I am too
[Captivate Android Development] wibi795:
I alredy have the build prop downlpading the faster fix
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Jes.. Just when this was getting good, its being taken away... So no word on what happened or anything?

Also where can I get the new Kang kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
http://kang.project-voodoo.org

For latest Kang Kernel
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I'm thinking that there are enough smart and talented people in the xda community .... I would be surprised if miui went away ... the rom is too good. This might be a good thing. Hopefully
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
Anyone get auto rotation working? I've tried everything with no luck. Might just factory reset and reinstall rom to see it that'll fix it
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Kang kernel working great here. Auto-Rotation is back working again!!
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
I flashed latest kangs with no auto rotation still
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Try turning off the phone (not rebooting it) and then power it back on.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Plus MIUI covers multiple devices so it shouldn't be that hard to get someone to make an English pack.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
I tried turning off phone with rotation enabled then disabled even tried doing it both ways with a battery pull. No luck. :(
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Flash this and then try flashing the kernel again.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
Didn't work. Oh well I still love miui
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
Try this.

While your cappy on,

Press volum up bttn + power bttn together and hold them for around 10-15 secs(just ignore power menu). it will do hard reset your cappy. don't worry nothing will be deleted.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
That worked! Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
good to hear!! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
@miuiandroid

No new server - site is down indefinitely good bye and farewell to all. I'm sorry it ended this way but people wanted me out so im out.

Looks like it's official. Time to start figuring out the next step.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I wonder what happend, what about that miui us website mcord posted earlier?
[Captivate Android Development] krypticos:
Miui isn't over just the English pack.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yes, but the website that made the english packs doesn't exist anymore. And without the english packs, we can't really update it.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It was made on March 8th, so I don't know if it's actually being used or not.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
That sucks. What to do....
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Time to switch roms then?

Can I flash the newest cm7 nightly after formatting cache and system?

Trying to keep my data....
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
I was reading the i9000 thread and there are a ton of them and a ton of us so someone will end up making a english language pack. I have faith :)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

can we use those files?

Looks like that its four 2.2 miui
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Android 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Well I finally made the flash to gingerbread(stock for right now), crazy fast.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
looks like we can upload files also..
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The files will only work for MIUI running Android 2.2 as 2.2 doesn't have the latest beta. So we need MIUI Android 2.3 translations.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
forget it... i don't know how to do this...
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
PerceptionII or continuum? I was on continuum but found it to be unbearably slow compared to miui. Flashed perceptionII and i have no complaints.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Is it worth flashing a gingerbread rom?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Depends on what led you to miui

If you did it cause you were bored with samsung roms then no, it is the same thing with a couple extra features. if you are curious, sure why not
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
I finally flashed MIUI after multiple failed attempts, but this time around when flashing in CWM it stopped at the part dealing with efs (can't remember the actually phrasing now). I can boot up and everything looks fine but will I see any issues from this?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
i heard it's a bug.. don't worry..
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
ok good, though worse case I just crash and try something else out.

It's an interesting ROM, gonna take me a while to get used to it but it's like having a new phone.

Now another question, whenever I go into the Theme Manager or some other apps, I get "SD card is not accessible!". don't read anything on that in the thread, but when I go into the File Explorer my sd cards show up just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Hey guys...any help?

Can I just format cache and system and flash the latest cm7 nightly?

Don't want to brick or anything

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Not 100% but I think u have to flash the initial build of the rom first, then apply the latest nightly. And ya u format cache system and data, flash then factory reset.

Ud lose ur apps and have to restore all with wiping data and factory reset but its the safest way
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:


word... I was just trying to avoid flashing back to stock!

Always so sketchy for me...

Guess I'll have to
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I had to voice my feelings on the miui i9000 thread. Not that it would make any impact, I'll post it here also.

Confused about the situation? What's going on?
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
There was some words exchanged within the miui development / translation team and as a result the team split up. I do not have all the details and at best can only guess at what happened.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Well Mark was able to get a new server so I'm not sure if he is going to continue or not. Will let you know if there are any more updates.

@miuirom Some dudes who do ports did a hostile take over and slandered me, we're setting new server up now :-)

Also it looks like miui.us is by the former MIUI Android devs that don't want to deal with Mark anymore. The website will be up tomorrow.
