Flashed rc4-c, trident kernel + kb1 modem. Seems it takes cell/data a while to enable after unlocking the SIM. Eventually it connects. Tested voice call, had to press power to get the auto screen off during call to work. Then it worked as usual.

Tested incoming text message, worked great (used the att bill balance one).

Right now running a titanium backup restore, let's see how my apps get along with miui rc4-c.

Rom with Trident kernel seems sluggish at times. I'll also see weird messages saying something is frozen, to force close it or wait. Choosing wait allows everything to remain in place, the lag goes away and nothing closes.

My phone freaks out when I'm playing music and I have my screen go to sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
We can't help just by that little info.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
What is it doing?
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Also camera does not want to work on Trident, will try another kernel tomorrow and report back. Fingers crossed the debugger shows why it's crashing!
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
Well so far so good installed exactly the way the steps showed.

Had to reinstall the kernal for wifi to work. Installed another modem to see if it would connect to Att's Network with no luck. It doesn't get service whatsoever It knows what my phone number is but it it says not connected and unknown network and unknown network type.

What can I do?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
You nees to flash RC2 then RC4
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
Problem Solved :]

Instead I flashed CM7 initial rom, then flashed RC4-C

and it all works now
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
alright i just flashed this and so far i have no sound, home button is my back button, and i cant download anything from the market because it says I dont have enough memory. help please?:p
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
first it sound like you flashed an i9000 version instead of a captivate. Can you confirm where you downloaded from?
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Does the Rom downloader work?

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I dont think so at the moment, but if it does it would be i9000 version
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
I see. Possible to make one for Captivate?

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I thought from the files in the original post but. speedmod kernel said i897backed up efs, and flashed cm7 kernel. will changing the kernel fix it? or do I need to go back to stock and reflash everything?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You downloaded the captivate rc4c from the link in the op?

If I had to venture a guess you clicked on latest version which its the i9000 version.

Go back to the link page make sure captivate is in the link rc4c

Format system, data, cache

Flash zip

Factory reset

Boot
[Captivate Android Development] krypticos:
hello i know battery life is an issue with this rom and cm7. im doing some research and im wanting to know about average how long does your battery last and does wifi tether work also how well does the gps work compared to touchwiz and other roms?

thank you for your responses in advanced
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
dude you are the man!lol thats what i did but im more confused now because i downloaded the tae rc4 package ( which says Miui I9000. in the op right below rc2. i dont see captivate in rc4. yeah i do suffer from mild retardation it seems lol:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
That is it, tae package its good
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
:D

again Mccord you are the best:D I see what I did wrong now. reading is fundemental. I downloaded the i900 one like you said at the top of the download page. i am downloading the captivate version now. thank you for your help:p

hmmm.. auto rotation problem again..

I copied lib files and changed permission then reboot, no luck.. and i just found out i'm having

"E:no misc partition"

Error at recovery mode and can't mount sd-ext at mount option but i can still you my external sd without problem with every apps. didn't pay attention till now.. just realize that.. :( any solution please?
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
Thanks. But I uninstalled my Facebook app, reinstalled it, now it's working. Got my contacts synced.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
are you running kangs lastest kernel? its the only one i use anymore because auto rotation is almost flawless. if i lose it a simple reboot and its back up and running again.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
yup using kangs latest kernel.. did several reboot and kernel reflash.. no luck..
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Instead of a reboot, turn off the phone. Turn it back on and see if that works.
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
This might be a stupid question but did you check to see if Auto-rotation is toggled on?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yeah sometimes you have to just power it down fully and turn it back on.
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
I'm guessing by the silence that this must have been the problem all along.:p
[Captivate Android Development] capita:
On RC4-B. It seems auto rotation breaks everytime I load apply a new theme. Re-flashing the kernel solves it (either kang's or platypus). But its a little tiresome having to do this every time I change themes. (....and yes, its toggled...:P)

Was this an issue for anyone on Rc4-B? Will flashing Rc4-C solve it?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Not totally, mine fixes with a power off/on cycle.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
tried... no luck yet...
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
oh yeah. It is on for sure lol;)
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
just reflashed RC4c... auto rotation is working now.. i don't wanna reboot my phone.... :(

Ok.. is there any solution for

e: no misc partition error in CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's a CM7 bug, just ignore it.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
roger that!!
[Captivate Android Development] tupirujp:
How do I get into recovery mode on these rom
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Three button combo
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
Did a fresh flash. Once booted into rc4 I flashed newest Kang kernel.

Only issue is no video, whatsoever. YouTube, embedded flash, gallery, nothing.

Any suggestions? I did a fresh flash just to try and fix this.

Edit: No live view finder in camera either, although it does still take pictures.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
When camera is on try powering screen off and on
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Update using Trident kernel and kb1 modem, I can hear the caller but I am told I sound garbled.

Going to try the jk modems.

Sent from the miui matrix SGH-i897
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
Wow that fixed all my video problems. Haha thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] capita:
KB1 sounds garbled because it hooks into the audience chip drivers.... which aren't present on CM7 and MIUI.

JK4, JL2, JL3 all work nicely for me.
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
Camera was working now.it won't any idea why? It says can't connect to.camera. I.tried a dalvik cache wipe.new kernel to no avail
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Maybe pull camera apk from the rom package. Copy and paste it to system app using root explorer then reboot
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
Nvm fixed it. Just had to gget auto rotation to work
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I have successfully flashed MIUI Rc4-C, but the only problem is that the wifi doesn't work. Everytime I go to recovery to flash the kernel, the phone gets stuck on At&t boot logo. What else do I need to do?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
What kernel are you flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
CM7_Captivate_kernel_kang_20110409_17_update.zip from first post.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Did you wipe cache and davlik cache after kernel flash?
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
No, but do I have to do that every time?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Every kernel flash I do. This may not fix problem but that is what I would try first. Now to be clear write cache partition, then under advanced wipe davlik
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
That didn't fix the problem. I went to download mode and had to ODIN flash cm7-captivate-initial-kernel for my phone to pass the att boot logo.
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
afaik that breaks usb tethering

you could try my kernel which includes a newer WIFI driver:

04/13/2011 (release name: Antlion; Stable )

kernel-related issues in its thread - I won't have the time to wade through CM7, MIUI and kernel threads all together :)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Only thing I can think of is a bad download of the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I tried this kernel and the same problem. Now I am back on cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Did you have any oc settings saved to boot
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Alright mccord, I'm up and running on the correct version of this Rom now lol. Thames again for all you help. Now to figure out how to flash a theme and I will be all set. Also I notices that #*0011* does not work to enable the 850 band. Will the jkv modem work with this? Also what about the new speed mod kernel. Can I flash that. I'm a little confused as you can tell. 2.2 modems will work with this right. I know jk4,jk3, jl2.are in op, just didn't know if there was anything special done to them to make them compatible with miui
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I have never messed around with OC settings, but incase I do, how do I check for this?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The phone codes won't work.

You can only flash CM7 kernels. So you can't use the speedmod kernel. Check the first post for the kernels.

And you can only flash modems that have been put into a CM7 cwm zip. Once again, check the first post for the modems.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You would have to select it in voltage control app.

Your issue is odd. I may consider a fresh flash of the rom fielding system data and cache then factory reset after rom flash. I have not heard of anyone who could not use the custom kernels
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I'm considering that as well. Going back to stock ODIN, master clear and starting from scratch. If it still doesn't work maybe I have to wait till a final rom is out. Thanks for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I dont think you have to go back to stock
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I'm doing it just to avoid any other problems, and to see if this will happen after a clean installation.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
New Sig ^^ , just for the hell of it.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Was afraid of that. Thanks for the reply.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I hate to keep asking, but my theme manager keeps force closing. How do I fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
did you try going to manage applications and clearing the data?
[Captivate Android Development] hoopas:
Just curious if I'm the only one that can't charge my phone with it turned off.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
No I think thats a cm7 issue also.
[Captivate Android Development] hoopas:
Thanks Moss.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Ahh makes sense regarding the KB1 modem trying to use the audience chip.

I thought there was an option in Settings to enable/disable Noise Suppression.

Also, I'm experiencing the camera not working. I've seen posts indicating the fix is to copy the camera.apk from the ROM zip, adb push it to /system/app then reboot?

Can anyone confirm this is the fix?

Trident kernel #10, JK3 modem on Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
well. if you just flashed this rom, sometimes it takes a while for the camera to start working. it took around 20 minutes or so for mine to work once. you could also try and open up the camera app and toggle the power button on/off a couple times to see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
decided to make my own signature because i love this rom so much!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
That is what I find odd, flashed the ROM last night and got to a point where I had cell/wifi with calls and text working before going to sleep.

I looked at the camera which opened but wasn't able to take a photo.

In the morning, tried again I started to get Camera Activity force closes. Then could not connect to the camera.

Debug shows:

CameraService::connect X (pid 2212) rejected (existing client).

Fail to connect to camera service from CameraHolder.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
That worked. Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
anytime bro
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
hmmm. thats weird. what i would try doing then is taking the camera app out of the rom that you downloaded and dropping it on your phone via root explorer or whatever you use. just make sure you change the permissions on it or else it won't work.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I have done this three times now. I wen't back to JF6 ODIN, master clear and followed instructions. I get stuck on att boot logo after flash of the RC2 or any version of MIUI. I have to go to initial CM7 kernel to get pass att boot logo.

Afterwards, when I install RC4, same thing happens. I get stuck on att boot logo. When I flash initial kernel, I can boot pass the att boot logo. Can anyone explain what is going on?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
im not quite sure. but ive noticed that when things like this happens. its usually because one or more of the instructions weren't followed exactly how they are expected to be followed. so what i would do is is try it again. i'll help you whenever you need. ive walked quite of few others through this and its worked flawlessly. so if ya need some extra help. email me at task650@gmail.com and we can chat you through the process.

Doing this now produces a camera app that opens and remains on a black screen with the four buttons illuminated. Pressing back generates the Activity Camera in application camera is not responding.
[Captivate Android Development] jhr5474:
Why

Cant I get wifi to work with this new version?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Did you reflash kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
Alright, below is a condensed version of what I am doing. Please tell me if you think I am missing something.

Samsung Captivate At&t

1. flash JF6 ODIN

2. master clear

3. flash speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar from ODIN

4. efs backup

5. battery pull, download mode, flash cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar from ODIN

6. battery pull, three button recovery

7. wipe cache, data, factory reset, dalvik cache

8. install Miui RC2

9. reboot

now here is when I get stuck at att boot logo and if I do a battery pull and install cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar from ODIN, the rom boots, but I am unable to chance kernels or flash MIUI Rc4-C because when I do, I get stuck at att boot logo again

I have tried other CM7 kernels, but same thing. It seems like the phone only wants to boot the rom with cm7-initial kernel and nothing else
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Step 7 should be go to mounts and storage. Format cache, system, data.

Step 8 flash rom

Step 9 factory reset

Step 10 boot
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Wish I knew how using the camera.apk from this ROM MIUI9000_Beta_6.zip leads to a working camera on Miui rc4-c but it does. At least in my case.

I had to power off then on very fast before I saw the live preview, otherwise it was just a black screen in the camera frame/app.

Wish I could turn off the shutter sound, and tell the camera app to store images on the external SD card.

-edit, here's the camera apk which worked for me.

Directions, place this APK in /system/app (I used super manager, menu press to make system R/W)

Reboot for the app icon to show up on the home screens.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I'll give this a try.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I could be wrong but not formatting the system could be causing your problem
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Hey, sorry to bother, but I just updated to RC4C from RC4B. Now my wifi doesn't turn on. I did the format of /system and /cache before flashing. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
Reflash the kernel from first post (kang attached).
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Wow thanks! That worked!

Also why are notification sounds so quiet? SMS, alarms, they are all really quiet compared to the keyboard/music sounds. This is the same on my cousins phone too, not just mine.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
Still same thing. I am still stuck on att boot logo. This was probably the 10th time I have done this today. I guess my cappy wasn't meant for MIUI.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
When you flash back to stock JF6, does your phone work properly? I actually had something happen 3 days ago. Everytime I booted, it would go straight to recovery. No matter what I did. When I flashed back to JF6, I noticed my phone wasn't working properly. Earpiece broken, speaker broken half the time... exchanged, new Cappy works under MIUI.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
dang... auto rotation drives me crazy...

Not working again..

Works after flash but not working after a single reboot...

Gotta reflash rom again to make it work...
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
Everything works on JF6. I have flashed Cognition, Firefly, Continnum etc. without any problems. It is just that on MIUI, I get stuck on that single step.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Trident kernel has auto rotate working in my case.

im slightly noobish anways i just finished installing this rom, and im trying to decide which kernal/modem do you recommend?

or should i not flash one? thx
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Kernel and modem are built in to RC2 and onward
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
thx i havent tried this in a long time so i was just wondeirn.g
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
How can you tell which kernel and modem are built in which MIUI? I want to know the kernel of RC2. That might solve my problems.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Kang kernel and JK4 modem, says so in OP
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
So does anyone know why notification volume like SMS and alarms is so low? Highest it goes in settings is really quiet, on 2 different phones. It's really aggravating.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Settings > System > About Phone > More Information.

Baseband is the modem, kernel well its obvious ;)
[Captivate Android Development] clrana9017:
This ROM is pretty awesome and it's so visually appealing. However, I can't use anything but the included JK4 modem. Another UG modem (I think it was a K model) would not let me unlock my SIM card and when it did, my phone would crash. Also, I cannot get Swype to work for the life of me. But other than that, I like this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I found trying to use a wired hands free earpiece to end a call did not work.

Anyone else have this problem on a different kernel?

Missing Apps?

Guys,

I'm almost certain that this has been discussed before but I just couldn't find the post, anyways after flashing this ROM based on the steps on the OP I found that I have 3 apps that went blank. No icon is present, only the name of the app is there and when i hit it, it says 'Application is not Installed on your phone'.

The apps are MIUI Camera, Network Backup and File Manager.

Is there a fix to this? Or could someone just post the apk?

Thanks a bunch
[Captivate Android Development] SpaceKebab:
First off, this rom is awesome. i had just recently fallen in love with the (vanilla?) CM7 release as soon as it was out and was hesitant to try MIUI but couldn't be happier that i did.

Autorotation and most everything works just fine now but anyone else having a problem with the digital compass?

An in-thread and semi-extensive google sesarch didnt seem to bring up anything about miui/cm7 related copmass failures for the captivate.

the accelerometer seems to work fine (so i guess 'shake them all' makes use of the compass?)

The problem seems cross-kernel. I'm currently using the latest (4/13) platypus kernel, though i switch kernels constantly. Can't decide which ones the least-buggy/effecient/fastest.

I've wiped/formated/flashed/reflashed reverted to stock jf6 and started the process over several times with no change. Any ideas?

a semi-unrelated question: i know theres a ton of information on these forums about modems but theres a bit <i>too</i> much. anyone recomend anything other than JL3 for AT&T southern california?

Sorry if this was mentioned and/or answered once or several tmes before : D

thank you!

EDIT: nvm. I found some people on the cm7 thread complaining about a non-existant compass. still, any fixes?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I think the compass is a CM7 bug.
