Alright. I did something dumb and I need help fixing it please. Lol as a said earlier camera was hosed in this release for me, so I took the camera. Apk fromrc5c and replaced the broken one with root explorer. That didst work. (got application failed message) so I then went back into the current build and tried to put the original camera application back with root explorer. Still no dice. Is there a fix without having to reflash the Rom. I need the camera because I have a 2year old son, and you never know what he is gonna do lol:-)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Go into Root explorer, copy the apk. Go into system, apps. Paste the camera.apk. Long press on it, select permissions.

Change it to this:

x-x-o

x-o-o

x-o-o

x = checkmarks o = unchecked

Reboot phone.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Dude prototype. You are awesome! That worked perfectly. Thank you :-)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
trying last cm7 nightly to see if we are missing anything. Just flashed
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Don't know the interface in root explorer. You'll have to look at the chmod permissions of the other files, and then set the camera apk to the same permissions.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:

[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Camera? my pics get flipped 180 degrees - not sure if this is because of the orientation problem or camera app..

WiFi (my problem afaik) I'm having problems with MIUI and my router - everyday I have to reboot my router because it can't connect.. Once the router is reset, it connects fine.. until tomorrow :)

Battery drain (known issue)

I'm still running strong on MIUI tho regardless of these issues :D
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Did you flash a kernel after flashing miui

Miui Beta 6
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You can dl camera 360 or vignette from market for proper picture orientation, or rotate in gallery

Miui Beta 6
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I just did a factory reset after using b6 since yesterday. This thing is flying!

Thanks for the Camera 360 suggestion - works great and just bought it!

Anyone having issues accessing this top from xda premium app? Working fine on the free one, but getting fc on pay version
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Odd that you say that, yes some problems, and what is more odd its that it appears to isolated to this thread
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have found a half ass way around auto rotate. There is an app called smart auto rotate. $.99 it allows you to pick and choose apps that automatically rotate. so if you want your messaging app to always be in land scape it will be. Not a real fix, but it its something

edit, smart rotator does same for free
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
That's not bad, ehh if any of you are devs or know anything about this sort of stuff please try to fix the auto rotate
[Captivate Android Development] stevrodriguez:
no i did before
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
You flash the kernel after you install the rom. Let it boot up then shut it off then install the modem and kernel
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Can't wait to try this once it's pretty stable.
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
try it.

beta 6 is quite usable... i have had no texting/calling problems, sometimes data doesnt work, but nothing a reboot cant solve, and since beta 6 ive been getting close to 12 hrs of batter with moderate to heavy use. just give it a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] stevrodriguez:
i wont let me install the rom
[Captivate Android Development] Tchem:
This is stable bud your missing out just flashed it today I have absolutely no problems. And my email actually works with the stock email program. It never worked before :)
[Captivate Android Development] stevrodriguez:
can anyone post the beta 5 rom?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Are you using the one from the first post?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Here is beta 5 from i9000 forum, you need to flash captivate kernel and modem. Although if you can't get 6 installed I am not sure this will work.

How is it? I'm Looking for a new kernel to flash thinking about going back to antlion
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I an actually using cm7 not just the kernel

Miui
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Yikes.:-) ok how is it? Worth flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I used cm7 for a long time before miui, it is great, I like miui better. Going to run this for a day our so just to see speed and battery
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
If MIUI would read my SD card perfectly, I would use it in a heartbeat. I think it may be a problem with CM7 though because after trying CM7, I have the same sd card issues. And I know my sd card is fine because using it on dilli and other froyo roms it works perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
One thing that I notice is that with RC7 my phone doesn't get as hot as it used to. Even with overclocking. Speaking of which, is this the first kang kernel that can be overclocked? It's sweet ass. I'm going at 1.3, undervolting of course, and it's sooooo smooth and fast. Loving it!
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
can anyone tell me why adb wont see my phone? what drivers to i need to have and where can i get them? thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
nexus s drivers
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yep. i figured that out but i cant seem to find them.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Do you have sdk installed

Q: Where can I get the Nexus S drivers?[/B]

A: Download and install the Android SDK here then download "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"

Once downloaded, right click on "Computer", "Manage", "Device Manager", "Nexus S", "Update Driver Software", and point it to wherever you isntalled the SDK
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yep. is it in there or something. ive never used it but im going to learn today.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
^^^^^^ from cm7 q&a
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Looks like they may be going back to the old sensors.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You mean on cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
stupid question: what are sensors?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
compass, orientation sensor, light sensor, proximity, etc.

Also, what they are doing is keeping the JVB kernel drivers, but using the old userspace libs.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The sensors detect when your phone is turned sideways, when it's up against up your face to turn off the screen, when it gets brighter or darker out to change the brightness of the phone, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes I read something along those lines, they said allot of changes coming but did not get specific. Still going to need someones to integrate the changes though as I do not expect they are going back to the old set up fully.

I like cm7 & it is flying for me right now with zachs latest kernel, but the user interface of miui is much more to my liking
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
+1

Someone needs to make a miui launcher. That'd be sick
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Well battery is no better on latest cm7

I love this new keyboard, the only problem is that, no suggestions, only the contact names show up when typing a word. I don't even have autocorrect... How do I fix this?

I'm on rc7-b, I formatted system, data, cache, flashed RC7-B then factory reset, then flashed the kernel Mcord uses and my modem and booted... This should be the correct process, but don't know if it has anything to do with my problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The keyboard doesn't have a dictionary. I posted a page or two back on how to get the old keyboard.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Is there anyway to get a dictionary on it??
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Working on it. Need to change one thing to fix something and then I can upload it.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
That blows:-(. Getting the urge to flash something. Might go back to a gb Rom. Have you taken the. Leap yet? Everyone is raving about how great battery life is:-)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Mcord, how do you edit the XML files?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Gb roms are still at a early stage. The final custom froyo roms are the best at the moment(my opinion).

These are the template files

You need to find the file you want changed then open it in a text editor then change the color value. Then you take the folder and rename it and save it in the appropriate folder in the theme. For example

Yesterday, I got a SD Card damaged notification. So I just reboot the phone and it auto-fixed itself. But now whenever I restart the phone, I get the same error. Somewhere online I read to re-format it. So I did, using the phone (thinking MIUI would do its thing), turns out it re-formated the sd card, alright... the internal one. So i have blank internal sd card, and an external that keeps giving me the same message "Damaged SD card". Going into settings>personal>sd card settings it reads "this device does not support a2sd+". help por favor
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Try mounting, unmounting the external.
[Captivate Android Development] ebcrew:
ok so im currently on GR-11 what would be the procedure to goto MIUI Rc7-B?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Flash back to stock, then click on the website on the first page to get directions from there.
[Captivate Android Development] ebcrew:
yep lol i went to the website and it answered my question , thanks working nicely.
[Captivate Android Development] Silencer_007:
Problem with update

Hey all, I'm having a small issue and I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

I am currently running RC7, and I want to install the B update that is posted here. I followed the instructions to the letter, including wiping my cache, data, and system in "Mounts and Storage"

But when I went to reboot my phone after flashing the update package, I got stopped at the boot screen and MiUi didn't load. I had to go back and do a data wipe and reinstall rc7, then go thru the process of setting everything back up again.

Am I missing a step somewhere? I really want to be running the latest version but don't want to try this again if I'm going to risk re-bricking my phone or having to set all my features up again. Any input is appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The first link is just a language pack update (not the entire rom), so you just flash it without wiping or formating anything if you are already on RC7.

The second link is the whole rom which requires wiping and formating.
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
This is all i see...

It will only unmount the internal sd.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
With your phone on, take out the external and put it back in and see if you still get the damaged error.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
projectpaki, I have the exact same issue! On Cm7 as well as MIUI. It really sucks, I've done multiple flashes and multiple re-formats and nothing helps
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
mine is always like that but it is still recognized by all my apps like music, pics, vids, ect... is yours just not recognized at all?
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
no, i have 2 music apps and none of them pick it up

matter of fact, i cant even find the folder in root explorer!! thats not good...
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
Exactly the same for me. Try a different sd card. My 32gb didn't work or worked intermittently, more the former, on both cm7 and miui. I'm on cm7 now and this old 8gb works great. I can't speak for miui specifically but it is based on cm7 so maybe both can't handle large sd cards, which would suck.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Hey what would happen if I took the camera and camera firmware APKs from GR11 and pushed them into RC7?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
It would not work
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
mine is only 4gb lol, so if it cant handle that then somethings amiss... i really love this ROM but no swype and no sd card might make me jump ship
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Looks like galnets next release may be interesting
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I'll take a look at it.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
Damn well I hope the devs solve this soon so we can start using this awesome rom with our sd cards
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Whats the sd card formatted as?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
couldnt i just take galnets newest update and pack it with a kernel and call it good/ or would it take more than that.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Tried that but made a couple mistakes. I believe it should function but you need to make sure the kernel had new drivers but is not 2.3.4. So kang or platypus prior to 5/1
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
gotcha. gonna see what i can do now.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
New CM7 update, let's see how this one goes...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

How is the newest kang kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Made another package with galnets rc7. Going to flash see how it goes
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
i made one too. booted fine. seems to be running fine other than auto rotate. forgot which modules should be there and the ones that shouldnt be.
[Captivate Android Development] kaljr1980:
The easiest way I remember is keep the modules that begin with B, C , T
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
yea booted fine here, rotation is working, restoring as i came from cm7 and then applying theme
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
i got galnets newest update packaged and everything is working. sensors, auto rotate, wifi. it actually seems to run a little snappier. i like it. let me know if ya want me to post it.

alright so i do have Galnets latest update working flawlessly now for anyone who wants it just pm me. for those that asked i'll pm you with it when its done uploading in a few minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The sensors have been changed again so it's pointless to use the ones the i9000 devs are using.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
True but they have also switched the user space to match cm7 meaning having the modules inside the lib folder. More the fix is hacky as there its still a modules folder in system and now an additional one in lib. So even if the modules have been changed in cm7 the mapping going forward is like galnets, less the hack. Galnets lets us use kernels between 4/28 & 5/1. where as the captivate build stops at 4/27 & anything 5/1 or newer its need on 2.3.4 & won't work on any miui build.

So basically as cm7 continues to move on it appears it may be difficult for miui to follow along unless the chinese implement all the cm7 changes in fridays update. If not we will be stuck with kernels prior to 4/27 & won't be able to implement improvements from cm7 going forward
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
They only thing I think they will do is upgrade to 2.3.4, but who knows when that will be, and then once that happens, we would be able to change the sensors and modules. So yeah, until then we will be stuck with the outdated kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:

[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I think those of us committed to running Miui on the Captivate should start posting comments on blogs which feature Miui and link back to this thread.

Hopefully this will enlighten the offical miui devs that the Captivate has a strong user base and should get (some) offical support.
