JM7 is the latest Eclair build for the Galaxy S (not the captivate)
Wondering if BT works and if Sync Schedule for Exchange is there - the biggest things wrong with previous i9000 builds.
Thanks for any info.

bluetooth will most likely not be functional with a captivate kernel since it's the kernel that controls that, the ROM just chooses how to interface with it. since they weren't designed to be used together, they probably won't "just work" together without heavy kernel modifications.
as for exchange, couldn't tell you (don't have any exchange accounts)

The Froyo build is working with BT. And the BT chip should be the same between devices, so I am not convinced BT won't work.

They also use the same wireless radios yet the fmradio app doesn't work even with the i9000 kernel. We also have the same gravity sensor/accelerometer, yet that doesn't work properly either. It's more than just kernel. It's a combination of the rom, the kernel, and hardware access. Considering these are issues specific to running software not designed to work with the captivate, they will likely never be fixed by samsung so a new rom won't make them magically work.
As for bluetooth working on froyo, it works in eclair too for pairing, just isn't fully functional with audio

OK, let me clarify as i am hoping for experiences not speculation -
BT audio for phone calls works fine in Froyo with a captivate kernel according to reports but not in previous Eclair builds - has anyone tried BT audio in JM7?

I would love to know where you say someone said "BT audio works fine in froyo with a captivate kernel."
we have no captivate kernel compatible with froyo. when you flash a froyo build, you're using the i9000 kernel because there are no captivate ROMs available yet. if you try using the eclair captivate kernel in the froyo i9000 ROM, your phone will not even boot (have to fix through download mode)

My typo -I know the kernel is specific to the version. - i have not tried a Froyo build yet - but the fact is Froyo BT works for audio as reported in other threads. So it is not unthinkable that Jm7 could have working BT Audio on our Captivate.
Again, all i am asking for is if someone has any first hand knowledge, not speculation. I know what the older versions have as I have tried those - just tired of flashing ROMs for now.
Ok my phone is rooted and i sideloaded the tethering app. now when i connect it to my PC i cannot use the internet, nor can i find it under wireless connections. any ideas? thanks in advance
bumpin... no one has any info on this?
I need some more information like what version of firmware are you using? what exact app have you downloaded? just post as much as you can and i will see if i can help. What I do is i flashed the leaked froyo build, rooted using adb, enabled 3rd party apps, and now i have 2 different tethering capabiitles the mobile ap that is included with froyo update, and wireless tether although i am having difficulties using it on froyo.
Hi, I got some similar trouble than ebcrew, i can not use tethering.
this is my configuration:
MODEL NUMBER: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
FIRMWARE VERSION: 2.2
BSEBAND VERSION: I897UCJI6
KERNEL VERSION: 2.3.32.9 [email protected] #1
BUILD NUMBER: COGNITION.V2.2.BETA6.UCJI6
I tryed tethering with next android market apps:
1) Free Tethering
2) Wireless Tether
3) Tether
4) Froyo 2.2 Mobile AP ( Settings | Wireless and network | Mobile AP )
5) Froyo 2.2 Tethering ( Settings | Wireless and network | Tethering )
The symptom is, after running app (just before mentioned) or enabled Froyo 2.2 options, i can not see SSID even the app tells me it is working, it seems if a firewall was running or something like that.
If anyone has an idea please post it...

HCDR.Jacob Flash over any ROM Awesome Kernel 4.1 - Thanks to HCDR.Jacob and ralle.gade (+any other contributers for this)
Personally I find that, as is, the ROM is responsive enough for me, solid and reliable, I have found that with setCPU running (with standard Kernel) that I get some momentairy freezes and momentairy freezes accepting calls, just so that your aware of this... with HCDR.Jaccob 4.1 Kernel I couldn't say if the same problem exists as not tested...
This ROM, as is, has no know problems (without SetCPU running)

I didn't want all the three stuff, just wanted to be able to log in to My3 which is something you cannot do without having Planet 3 installed.
I have been running this rom since yesterday and not found any problems with it so far.

There is that I suppose but it's easier if there is a direct click that you don't have to log in to each time.

Set it as a bookmark. There shouldn't be a log in if you are accessing over 3's network.
Is wireless tether not working in this ROM? Can anyone confirm? Ive tried it on 2 wildfires and multiple computers.
It seems to work, but it doesn't alert me to the connection and the computer has no internet despite the wireless connection being there.
Thanks!

Is anyone interested in an option to remove 3 stuff from Rom, or at least some of it?

The tether issue is a kernel issue.
My kernel seems to only enable tethering in froyo as well, not eclair for some reason.
If I get time I can compile you a kernel which is completely stock but with wireless tether enabled

Thanks Jacob...
That would be great jacob, thanks!
What i would really like to see with this ROM is something very similar to the WildPuzzle Eclair 1.0.1 (this rom was missing the reboot option on the powerscreen and then reboot into recovery option) but with the 3 boot screen and maybe some of the apps and obviously android wifi tether working on one of them.
Jacob says its his kernel causing the tether issue, but im sure ive ran his kernels before on my eclair wildfire and had wifi tether working, also with the standard kernel ive not had it working recently. Wildpuzzle eclair 1.0 was the last distro i had it working on if that helps isolating the problem?
Just out of interest did front button wake work in this rom, i forgot to try it when i tried the rom.
Thanks
Wifi Tether works for me on this rom. My pc picked it up straight away and got internet page up straight from the off. I don't mess with kernels and setting cpu etc so it's not that I've done anything to make it work.
Strange, it doesn't work for me with this ROM or Wildpuzzle Eclair 1.0.1? If its not the ROM what could it be? Any ideas anyone?

Sure adding reboot menu is fairly straightforward thanks to the guys here at XDA... so I will add as soon as I get chance....
Prehaphs a logcat might reveal the prob?
I have an oportunity to trade my Nexus One for a Captivate + $300, but just wanted to see if Mobile Hotspot worked on the Captivate?
I don't mind rooting, but I don't see Mobile Hotspot listed as features in any of the rooted 2.2 ROMs; I'm assuming it is included as part of 2.2 but don't want to lose my Nexus One just to find out it isn't included.
Thanks
It's called MobileAP. Don't know what that stands for but it's used for wireless tethering. There's also the option to tether via usb. It's pretty much available in all current Captivate ROMs.

Tethering and HotSpot are different. Do you really need to create an Access Point for many devices, or do you just want your laptop to use your phone's Internet connection?
If you search on Android Tethering, there are many tethering apps.
As I understand it, MobileAP and Mobile HotSpot are the same thing. I have the leaked version of 2.2 on my Captivate and by activating MobileAP, I can wireless-ly connect several computers to the internet through my phone.
Does ATT charge us for using mobile ap? i am on axuras 2.2 rom but i havent tested it out yet.
My buddy has a captivate but I currently use a vibrant and HD2. I tried to help him install MobileAP via Colckwork ROM Manager and it booted the recovery and installed but it is not found on the Wireless Settings.
Which custom rom has Moble AP currently installed? I am just trying to help a friend get his Captivate on the right track.
I had already advised him to run a custom rom but he is a newbie and a new convert to Android.
Thanks for any input!

I'm pretty sure most froyo roms have them.

Can confirm that both Cognition and Perception have Mobile AP.
You can also run 'Android Wi-fi Tether' (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) from even the original as-shipped JF6 ROM (assuming you've rooted of course).

No, although the functionality is similar, they are two different things entirely.

As of this moment, AT&T does not charge for Mobile AP (other than your standard data charges). They do charge an additional fee for their Mobile Hotspot however. Mobile AP was taken out of the official Captivate builds for this very reason.
I had the OG Droid before and now I;m helping out a friend. I remember that in order to get WiFi tethering to work on it you needed a Kernel that would allow it. Can any one point me in the right direction for a Froyo ROM and a compatible Kernel that can do WiFi tethering?

I've never been too happy with CM in general...but i can always give it a try.
BTW would i need to change the Kernel with the CM7 rom to use WiFi tether or does the zip file containe a compatible kernel that gets flashed at the same time?

It contains the right kernel. The only bad part about tethering on the D1 is that it creates adhoc networks and some tablet devices cannot see them. There are no workarounds on D1's side.
I have my droid tether w/o problem. Even had my computer VPN over the connection, which was pretty neat!
I can't get my PS3 or my laptop to successfully connect on my D1 tethering. The adhoc network is just annoying.
