These are still the early stages, as it isn't even an Official Stable release yet.

Be patient! These guys working on it are working hard and they don't even get all the donations they deserve!

Also, I would hope that they would get all the other stuff in 100% working order before the battery life.. Such as: auto rotation issues, proximity sensor bugs, efs restore script, etc.

What we need is more devs to make awesome kernels that bring out the battery life potential. Would be cool if hardcore made a speedmod version for cm7 compatibility..
[Captivate Android Development] wibi795:
it would be awsome
[Captivate Android Development] codeblue315:
Absolutely in love with this ROM. Using the Javelin kernal and JL3 modem on AT&T. Installed according to directions and it worked flawlessly. Originally tried the KB1 modem, but didn't like the reception I got with it, so I flashed the JK4 modem. Well, it didn't lock on to any signal at all. So, finally tried JL3, and it's working great. Battery life is alright, nothing too extravagant so far. Memory usage is fantastic. Definitely in love with this so far. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] g00ndu:
You can't have that. The MIUI or cm7 can only go into recovery via the 3 button combo. Check out the cm7 first post on that. :)
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
My icon on the main page which I think is Apps is in Chinese - I rebooted and nothing. THen Formatted system/data/cache - installed rom ,factory reset and reboot .. still the same thing ..

any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] wibi795:
open it and erase the chinese and put what ever you want

I've been MIUI for three days now. It's pretty sweet how they themed Gingerbread so well. Makes me wonder how it looked so good on Froyo before the 2.3 SDK was release....

But this definitely isn't MIUI 1.3.25 like the OP says as I'm runnin 1.4.1 (gotta keep the whole post updated not just the witty thread title.)

Battery Life isn't so bad really, considering I leave my WiFi and GPS on ALL the time with it never going to sleep. Pushing Email and Facebook all the while. I got it to last me all day!! It's pretty okay with me.

Market App - Keep The Lights On

Anyone find a kernel that will work with this app. This app keeps the capactive lights (soft keys) on while the screen is on. I'm talking with the dev in hopes of getting this ported unless all I need to do is use another kernel. I'm using the Kang kernel pointed to from this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
I agree. Battery life is decent but just always room for improvement.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
As per i9000 thread.. there is going to be an MIUI update this Friday!!
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
There's an update every Friday. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
There are updates every friday ; p
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Thanks man. My bad...I missed that in the FAQ's cause I didn't read all of it. ;)

Also, for XDA, taking out of Compat mode worked. I hit the thanks button for you!
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Does anyone know this??

Is there anything that can be done to get lockscreen themes to be applied? Because they never are. For example Honey Avenue lockscreen is never applied.
[Captivate Android Development] Tchem:
to go from RC3 to RC3c cant i just flash it with cwm and b done?
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Format system, and format cache. Then flash the zip, and the kernel or modem you want if you want a different one.
[Captivate Android Development] Tchem:
i want to keep using the kernel and modem i have now do i have to reflash it or will it stay the same
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
The zip comes with jl3 and kang kernel so if you are not using those then you will have to reflash your own kernel and modem.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
after flashing a kernel I am getting boot loops, I tried everything- deleting voltage scheduler, reflashing different kernels, reflashing rc3c but still having same problem...can anyone help me how to rectify this??

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Make sure you format system and data them flash the zip.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
but formatting data will loose all my apps right? I was just too lazy to install all apps again but I guess I have to try formatting data.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
If u don't want to lose data, then format system and cache before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
have tried that befire bu no luck...formatted data finally and now everything is fine..just have to setup everything again and need to install thousands :eek: of apps :p

Anyone else not have the option to upload to YouTube? Any workaround/fix for this?
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I had hella trouble trying to flash this damned rom. I followed the directions on pg 1 and watched a youtube video. I had it going at first was able to get wifi but nothing else. I waited and nothing, the phone would just shut itself off. so I followed some of the trouble shooting tips and when that failed I reflashed everything on my 5th or 6th try I flashed to stock rooted and retried the whole process, this time I would get the following E:No Misc Partition.

Searched and searched and not a bloody understandable solution! Then I tried to reboot and the bloody phone just stays in recovery!! WTF?!

I gave up flashed back to stock, rooted and flashed SuperNova and everything is hunky-dory...WTF did I do incorrectly? Are there better instructions somewheres that actually explains each step? The fact that I can't flash this is now the only reason I want to flash it. :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
Found a fix on Droidforums for the YouTube problem, and gained the option to upload but it still says can't retrieve account information.

Le sigh.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
E: No misc Partition can just be ignored - When i first installed CM7 and got that error they told me to ignore it. It doesn't affect anything
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I thought the same but when I reboot system, it turns off I get that AT&T screen and just throws me right back to CWM menu
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
i tried to change font so i replaced all arial*.ttf file with my fav font file but it made my phone bricked. i know i can use mtz font pack but i need korean font as well.. how can i make mtz pack with ttf file?
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
you've never heard of titanium backup?
[Captivate Android Development] wattx:
Thats Happened to me before too. I think its just because of an unsuccessful flash. Must of did something wrong along the way so back to square one. That's what worked for me.

Also Did anybody with the market issue get it fixed? And if so how?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
In order to pin pont your issues we would need allot more information. I know you followed the steps but maybe something was missed, or not understood. Also which package did you flash?
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Did you try flashing a kernel of any kind?
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
I have no problem with the market and I did my first MIUI flash last nite. I did see someone mention do RC2 first then flash RC3c.. which is what I did
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
You know what would !@#$$%#$ awesome?!?! Some rewritten directions on the 1st page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

or maybe even a link to some site that actually has instructions...maybe...just sayin'

Here's a link to some instructions from Galnet, these are bloody fantastic, just by reading over I saw what I did wrong that should've been stated in the directions in the first place.

How to properly flash MIUI for SGS phones by Galnet
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I tried it all... what the problem was the instructions failed me, but I'm good to go now...
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
TIBU is great but there is a limitation to how many you can restore in CM7 and this ROM compared to Froyo roms where I could restore over 300 apps...so prepare to slim down lol
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
i don't know if there is a limitation but some apps are failed to restore for me so i restored them by manual process and restored some of those but it messed up the system and gave me lots of fcs. just gave up restoring those.. still can live without it lol.

Weirdly, those are games and switch pro. think those are not compitable with ginger bread..
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
There is a limitation...someone explained it to me on the CM7 thread. I think pushing too many apps was causing my FCs as well. Right now I was more selective and so far is blazingly fast without issues.
[Captivate Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
need to give this a try now :) finally have free time hehe
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
What was it exactly that you did wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
That's probably because many apps will only work for samsung based roms
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Nothing to do with compatibility , it is a limit they put to make space for the modem....very complicated stuff that someone explained in the CM7 thread if you want to read it.
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
When flashing the 1st kernel, auto reboot needs to be checked and unchecked for the 2d kernel... I had them both unchecked and it jacked me all up and turned me into a crazy woman
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I apologize on my behalf for the inconvenience, thank you for posting that tutorial link as I have put it in the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] insane08:
ummm

I just want to double check ...is it necessary to go to go back to stock using ODIN before flashing this ? (im on phoenix unleashed btw)

the rom looks awesome just dont want it to cause any problems kind of scared :eek:

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
oops oops oops
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
*facepalm*

lagfix = ext4, which is one of the only fs that miui/cm currently.supports.

Not to mention that your entire partition layout is changed, rendering what you come from essentially irrelevant.

please learn what you're talking about before telling other people.

awesome so ill just put the MIUI rc rom zip in my sd and flash it like a regular rom in the clockwork...cant wait to test it out! :D

[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Pay REALLY close attention to the instructions on this ROM. It is different than flashing other 2.2 ROM's. You will find yourself in trouble if you dont pay attention. Really important piece** Make sure you have 3 button recovery, if you don't flash it or you will find yourself needing a jig**
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
i flash jl3 and my phone has no rotation at all do I need to do what is on the op
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
On rc3-c? I actually got auto rotation working by flashing jk4. See if that works.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
yeah so i am going to flash now
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am not certain your modem would be effecting your auto rotate. Which kernel are you using? I find the more I play with themes and constant change the theme the harder it is to get auto rotate back. I just reflashed kang 4/1 kernel, clear cache and davlik. Rotation there after first boot
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Yeah I guess cuz I wasnt getting any signal with the jl3 modem thats included with the package and auto rotate wasnt working either so I just flashed jk4 and everything magically worked :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
I flashed the latest kernel by kang and it fixed my "Losing auto rotation" problem.. I never lose it now, and I can turn it on and off whenever I want to use it.

Get them from here.. http://kang.project-voodoo.org/f/CM7/Captivate/

Edit: Maybe its just me, but after flashing this latest kernel.. I notice that it is a bit more responsive and less choppyness, also, the auto rotation is fixed like I posted above.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
jk4 worked but should i flash this too i am on the kang kernel that you can download on the op

this one CM7_Captivate_kernel_kang_20110327_03_update is what i am on

wow updated 23 maybe i should flash
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Oh sheeeett... My bad, haha I didn't know.. Just flashed on Sunday..
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Did flashing the JK4 modem restore your HSPA?

I did a test with my buddy running a FireFly ROM and I lost on the browser test. But I noticed that his was utlizing full HSPA (The "H" Symbol in task bar) while mine was stuck in 3G ("3G" symbol in task bar).

Anyone??
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
jk4 worked but i am on kang update 3 think i should update
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
I noticed that when I flashed the MIUI ROM and then check "About phone" options that it already had JK4 modem..

I read somewhere that Default modem should be JL3.. is this depending on what modem your stock ROM had? Or is this of no relevence..?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I find the browser.to be usable but not the fastest
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
no i am stuck on 3g
[Captivate Android Development] datnukkapenut187:
Am I the only one having trouble with outgoing texts, I can receive them, but I can't reply to them. I tried going back to stock, putting my smsc number in, then flashing miui, but it still doesn't work, am I doing something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
It will come back, it takes a bit
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
I have hspa and the H with Jk4
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
anyone getting fclose on maps on the rc3c...??
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Which update zip did you use.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Maps and navigation are working for me.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
I used RC3vB
[Captivate Android Development] Dxtra:
Every time I reboot auto-rotation it's gone. I have to reflash kangs kernel to get it to work. I guess I'm staying always from rebooting more often.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
I am just going to flash the JK4 modem and see if that does anything. Do I have to wipe all my apps to do this? Or can I just flash straight ahead..
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Just flash via CWM
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
mcord and I just went thru this exact thing. I went to kang's 4/1 #23, I had same issue, except, on 1st call it took a bunch of pwr button presses, re-booting, and another time to get the screen back on calls, then I got it back and lost auto rotate. Rebooted and got it back again

I'm using the JL3 modem, the JK4 I had zero signal here in Seattle
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Flashing now.. hopefully should cure the problem of not having HSPA (H symbol)..

If it doesn't, I will update this post and let others know my experience..

Edit: So I just flashed JK4 modem and I still don't have HSPA (H symbol) when data is on. Also, for anyone wondering, Yes I verified that "Use only 2G networks" was not toggled..

Anyone know how to check via secret code on dialer? Or is that only for 2.1/2.2 roms?

Edit 2: So I did a search and found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12696876 and I tried the code and I get the following error notice:

"Connection problem or invalid MMI code."

I guess that means that HSPA isn't supported?? ..but then why do some of ya'll have HSPA working? Can anyone please enlighten me..
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I'm on JL3, I don't have the"H", but I am honestly getting the fastest UL/DL speeds to date. I've hit over 5Mbps up and 2.1Mbps down
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Check Speed Test, it could just be displaying 3g, and actually be on H
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
so pretty much i need to find the best combo where i llive
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Jl2 got h
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
@kangi26

I guess you're right. It probably really is HSPA then, because I am still getting same speeds of when I ran previous tests with HSPA enabled. Sweet!

On a side note, so I guess I lost that browser challenge with my friend fair and square (He was running a ROM 'FireFly' that is already in its maturity level imo) Oh well.. Not bad for an RC 2.3.3

Also, I realized that the ROM is optimized for the captivate yet this ROM is not yet.. ah well..

Thanks for helping me diagnose!

Google Calendar - Birthdays

Anyone getting birthdays on Google Calendar showing up in Calendar app? On other ROMs - for instance, 2.2.1 - they show up in the Calendar app assuming I have that field populated in the Google contact record.

These rom its bs nothing works try different tools and **** non so back to icezars last realese
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
works fine here
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
What kernel are you using? And just to be sure we're talking about the same thing...I'm referring to the stock calendar for this ROM...my Google appointments show up but no birthdays for my contacts.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
hmmm... thats really weird. i have just about everything working minus a couple of things. seems like sometime in the near future this rom will finally get optimized for our captivate. or at least when source drops. you should try and reflash. pm me if you want some help getting things running smoothly.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
This rom is not for the mentally challenged
[Captivate Android Development] tupirujp:

[Captivate Android Development] citrit:
I had this same problem even with the Android SDK drivers, too many flashes with too many Android versions makes the USB hub confused. I downloaded an app called USBDeview and used it to remove all instances of the Samsung/Android USB connections. Then when I re-connected my phone the next time it worked. I am on W7 64 bit so it is always a bit tenuous at best.

But the ROM is totally worth the effort, very different UI and I like some of the usability aspects of the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Why do my themes never change the lockscreen?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Probably cause they haven't been updated to the new lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Lock screen can be changed but requires manually renaming a couple files in the framework res. Also still won't work with most themes
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
I figured it was something with old themes.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Playing with making my own. There is a thread in captivate themes for miui. More options will become available
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
i wonder what the update will be today?
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Is there a update today??
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
i think it's updated every friday.
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
Honestly I'm not impressed with this rom in the least. Can any kernel be flashed to this because the one it has now is ridiculously slow...which is odd because I found it to be perfect in other roms. I'm hoping that a theme will be so hot that it changes my mind about it...I really, really want to like it.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Any CM7 kernel can be flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
What other roms? What kernel?

There is only one other possible rom.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I would suggest you to give some time after flashing, the lag will disappear automatically...this thing is amazingly fast and I am not talking about those quadrant scores, you will notice the speed while using it daily, I have been using this from long long time as my daily driver and it is awesome! also gice oc a shot if you want more speed there are kernels which allow you to oc upto 1600!!
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Its slow?
