Hi,
Sorry to bother everyone but I was simply wondering if someone could help me since Googling has brought up all kinds of conflicting results.
First off, I have read that Cyanogenmod 7 (with its custom kernel) can enable USB Host mode on many devices, enabling them to connect external storage, keyboards, etc. Is this true?
Secondly, could this then be used to enable Host mode on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" GT-P1000 by flashing the Cyanogenmod 7 beta version for the SGT?
If anyone could help clear things up, that'd be great!

No luck?
No-one has any ideas about the feasibility of this?

I don't think you will have luck with that, unless Honeycomb 3.2 brings forth something different (but I really doubt it due to hardware)
Anyhow there is a thread where a discussion about this is active, maybe you can get some answers there.
I got the New Samsung USB connection Kit
The ability to do such a thing would come in real handy though.

Hello all!
I'm a newbie here on the forum so forgive me if I ask a silly question...
I just got my Captivate from At&t for christmas and tho I love the device I do have a few issues I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with. I've searched for answers for a while, and though I've found a lot of resources, I'm not quite sure what's the best way to achieve the results I want. I'm not much of a programmer so I'm hesitant to tear into re-coding anything, which seems to be fairly common with customizing the Andriod systems
1. - I purchased the OEM car mount, and tho it wasn't mentioned on the site, anywhere, I'm sure everyone is aware that the Audio Out on the mount doesn't work unless you're running Froyo 2.2 (a lovely note they decided to add on the back of the mount but not anywhere in the specs online).
Regardless, it's quite a nice mount and after researching online I tried to do the Froyo Update posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282 : to get the audio out to work with the mount... however it wasn't a success.
I also came across the issue with this update that the headphone jack on my handset wouldn't work with phone calls anymore...
So since then I have reset my system to stock using the Odin Master Clear.
Now, I've tried searching online for anything about getting the OEM Car Mount audio-out to work... but have yet to come across anything besides people complaining about the cost.
Any ideas?
2. - I have noticed the stock system's GPS is a bit sluggish and not quite as accurate as I had hoped. I know there are tons of posts on here to fix it but most of the ones I've read require rooting the device or reworking the coding...
Could someone please point me to an easy to read reference for fixing the GPS?
3. - This may be simple but, what's the best and easiest way to remove At&t bloatware?
4. - Is there a hack or app to enable the camera shutter button to work off the power button or volume buttons?
That is about all. Thanks for reading if you've made it this far. I appreciate any help or direction anyone might be able to give me.
Like I mentioned earlier... I've been trying to research how to do these upgrades on my own, but with all the different options available, and my first attempt not working so well... I'd much rather ask for help then bumble around and break something.
Thanks in advance!!
Nobody's got anything?
I'd at least think there'd be some insight on the Car Mount Audio issue... beings there's posts and posts of people complaining about it yet I haven't read of a ROM or tweak to fix it.
I haven't updated my SCH-I800 in a while and I notice that there is now a stable "cm-9.1.0-p1c.zip" on the cyanogenmod site but also CM10 builds (cm-10-20130714-NIGHTLY-p1c.zip) as recently as last week. The forums for the I800 aren't up right now so I thought I'd ask here if these CM10s are actually functioning well or if they have lots of missing features. And as much as I dig, I seem to only find half working ROMs or extremely experimental ones that have basic things like WiFi missing. Is there a solid stock Samsung ROM and a solid AOSP ROM that everyone uses at this mater point in this tablet's lifespan?
And is there a new method for flashing at all? Or is ODIN still the way?
Thanks!!!

I have spent the last week or so trying to get an SCH-i800 to run something OTHER than the stock gingerbread well and just haven't found it yet. The closest I got was a build of CM9 but still have sporadic reboots.
It's frustrating since the only thing I want this to do is run some OBD apps for my car. The problem is that apps detect Gingerbread and run in phone mode vs. tablet mode, wasting a bunch of screen space.
Cubed has been pretty much the only non-stock rom that didn't have FC's and random reboots. I don't even use the cellular feature of this tablet - I'd be happy just disabling the modem entirely and running on wifi if it meant it being more stable.
I'm considering just getting a Nexus 7, but the problem is that this thing would need to live in my car and I don't feel like doing that with a new tablet which is why I was trying to get the i800 to work
Hi, there. Basically just spent all of last night slaving away trying to fix my phone only to make everything progressively worse, and all of this morning having someone (thank you, BD619!) help me fix it, all because of me trying out some new roms.
Anyway i'm looking for something with a built-in tether that works off of USB (my laptop's wifi is broken). And having something with working GPS is pretty important for me too. I was on CM10.2 previously and the USB tether worked fine, but i couldn't get the GPS to work right for the life of me. And Viper's rom is the one that essentially sent me into non-stop boot loop mode, so that's out of there as far as what i'm willing to try.
I have tried other variations of CM like PA and slim, but i'd always end up having some kind of issues with the broadband or GPS. Others didn't even plain install. FWIW before today i did not have s-off, but now i do.
Would greatly appreciate any advice here. Please let me know if this is in the wrong section. Thanks
Updating from CM9, I notice that the phone now loses it's authentication with the router multiple times in one day. That is, the icon changes from blue to white, and no data can pass through. It is necessary to turn wi-fi off and then back on to restore the connection.
On the premises, we also have a Motorola G, Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus One. All but the GNex have no problems with this router. The GNex is still stock, so it would appear to have something to do with these older Samsung phones running 4.3. Searching Google, someone suggested forcing the phone to use the 2.4 band, and doing so with the GNex doesn't completely fix it, but it does happen less often. However, I can't find a "wi - fi frequency band" setting in CM.
So, does anyone have any idea what's going on? And is there a way to force the Captivate to use the 2.4 band?
Thanks much

CM9 is quite old, chances are that the kernel modules don't support it.

Thanks for your reply.
Before, while running CM9, the phone would remain properly connected to the router indefinitely. This problem of losing authentication did not occur until after upgrading the Captivate to CM10.2.1

Oh misread your post.
If forgetting and re-entering the network doesn't work, try another kernel (make sure it's compatible).

I am willing to give this a try, but I am still pretty new at this sort of thing. While I have rooted and put Cyanogen Mod on two phones, I have never tried different kernals. Would you be able to give me a short list of 3 or 4 compatible kernals that I could try?
Thanks much!

Just look in the Dev section and use one that matches your version (4.1, 4.2, etc).
NeatKernel seems to be popular around here.
Installed NeatKernal today so will see how it goes.
Thanks much for your help!
Installing NeatKernal didn't solve the problem, so decided to try the most recent CM 11 nightly....
After installing CM 11, the router and the phone still do not play nicely together. I contacted Linksys about this issue quite some time ago, but never received a response, so it is beginning to appear that the best solution is to simply replace the router. However, the Captivate is just a spare phone to play with, so it's not worth the extra expense and time, so will probably leave things as they are...
Cheers
Q&A for CyanogenMod 12 - Lollipop - Pre-Nightly Shakeout
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for CyanogenMod 12 - Lollipop - Pre-Nightly Shakeout. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
CM12 dead space on launcher screen
Installed this shakeout looks great!
I have unusable screen real estate on the left and right sidesnof the launcher is this normal?
Resolution and DPI changes in lollipop
With root enabled you can use ResUI from the themes and apps section and DPI changer from the play store. You have to have root enabled for the changes to take effect I believe.
If u make ur grid size custom and scroll down so its the largest, a 9x8 I believe, it uses most of it
ROM Pershoot TF701T 20150227 testing results
so, since I have less than 10 posts, this will automatically be put in the wrong Q&A section. Anyway, I'm running Pershoot's new TF701T Rom 20150227 and want to give some feedback since I also ran the prior version. If an OP would kindly take this restriction off so I can actually post in the correct thread...
This version is much more responsive than the 20150205 Rom. I am using this Rom with Google Keyboard to type this voice message! Everything seems to run very smooth YouTube is good. WiFi is quick, internet and embedded videos are great! Google Apps work fine. Almost 24 hours now and no slow down, battery use is normal and it barely uses any power during sleep.
The only thing I see missing is screen mirroring. Until that is implemented, it can't be a daily user for me. I have not tested GPS yet, & I wonder about the Nvidia specific drivers for the Tegra 4. I do not play games much and have not had a chance to test that either. All in all, it seems like a very stable base!
Miracast & Screen casting
Any idea when screen casting will be implemented? I have been playing with the latest build and all seems great! The settings menu is quite confusing and took forever to find the keyboard settings... I also find it difficult to find other settings that are common in prior Android versions. Is there anyway to keep the KitKat version of settings? ?
getting there... CM 12 testing
okay, so I'm using the current cm 12 20150309. I actually get to enable miracast and see receiving devices but I cannot connect to them. I have tried with a LC Smart TV and a Roku streaming stick which neither will connect. Also, the stock 442 version will only connect to the lc tv and not the streaming stick... the Roku is still in beta just to let you know.
this is also getting posted in the wrong thread again! hopefully the OP will recognize this and I don't think that is even recognizing that this is the third posting of mine! My posts are not getting counted...
i've enabled wifi display and protected buffers support for it (also enabled in the CM11 build); ensure its checked (in casting; wireless display). i have no way to test. you'd need to post logs and i'll see what i can do, or submit a patch which sorts it out to gerrit, against the known working device.
more testing... 20150311
Once again I am using the latest cm build with Google keyboard to voice type this message. this build is definitely quick and responsive and miracast or screencasting is almost functional. I have tried about a hundred combinations of settings on both receiving devices and this tablet without success. Also I noticed that I cannot connect to an external Bluetooth speaker without the launcher crashing when trying to use the volume keys. The Bluetooth speaker will connect but there is no sound and it crashes the launcher. Seems to me as a buffering or memory allocation issue since both devices want to connect but cannot finalize the handshake.
Let me know what the easiest way to pull log files off of this tablet is and I will see what I can help with... ???
Take note of the 'Known Issues' (on DB), and you will see the workaround for the Bluetooth issue (un-select Phone Audio on the device's BT settings).
Pull a logcat while trying to connect to a known working Miracast device and post it.
Thx.

Howdy strangers...!
So, I am just playing around with Pershoot's new cm 12 OS and I am wondering why hundreds of people view this thread and nobody contributes! There must be many more people out there that can provide debugging and log information than just me! Let's all work together and get this done ASAP! Don't be intimidated to contribute to this thread! We need all the input everybody has on everything!?

20150313 miracast log
Here is the log file... Tried to connect miracast to the LG TV 3 times in different ways. Also, the stock browser has no upload options for attaching documents to XDA posts. I got my Bluetooth speaker working... Thanks!!!
I do not know why this log file ended up having such a long name but it is the original file.
20150313 miracast log for Roku
Here is the log file for trying to connect miracast to the Roku streaming stick. I tried 3 times and it tries to connect then the roku immediately goes back to the home screen. Thanks!
more casting info
I have a verizon wireless galaxy s4 that connects to both the LG TV and the Roku streaming stick just fine running the latest stock 442. The latest stock version 11. 4.1. 29 for this tablet will only connect to the LG TV after numerous tries but not the Roku. ?
I haven't looked at your log as of yet. but please only post the one from the device that is known working against stock.
Please also post a log from stock of it working.
Thx.
Just noticed this week while I was away that when a USB is plugged into the dock everything works however there is no notification that it is plugged in and there is no way to eject it. Also if you close the dock while it is plugged in and then open it it tells you that it was not safely removed. I am not sure if that is stock behavior or not and it is not really an issue if I could eject it properly.
Turn off MTP and you should get eject options in storage.
