I flashed with the stable build of CM7 on my N1. This the first time I have flashed it.
For awhile it was working ok. There were a few bugs here and there, but no showstoppers.
But now, the Launcher has decided to not work at all. It's completely unresponsive to any touch, and it's in an infinite FC loop. My phone is useless now. I've rebooted, powered off, cleaned the cache -- nothing is working.
My question is... can I flash it back to stock? This is beyond frustrating, and I'd rather just stick with a no frills stock OS without all the bells and whistles.
Yes, read the wiki's on how to flash to stock.
Did you do a full wipe before flashing cm7? This include welling the system partition
i followed each and every step of the CM7 instructions.
thanks! i will look into it.
If you flashed CM 7.1 Then i had the same problems as my N1 locked solid.
After a few minutes of flashing it used to become unresponsive and all.
I tried everything but sadly havent been able to find a solution.
I say you should try Cm 7.0.3 That is very stable. I am currently using that and am loving it!!
Hi, first of all, I am new to Android devices.
I am having a problem with my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. Games and apps seems to be running slower than normal after updating to Gingerbread 2.3.5. I have rooted my phone with Odin3 v 1.85, but it's been running slow even before the root. (In fact, I rooted the phone so I could install a lagfix, but I can't find one for Captivate I897 running on 2.3.5).
Anyway, I don't see the reason for games and apps to be running slow because I've heard that the Captivate has a pretty good GPU. Also, it's not like I've overstocked my phone's storage; I only have a few apps.
I've also made a short video explaining my problem further. Just search "slow captivate" on youtube. I should be the first video: "Really Slow Samsung Galaxy S Captivate - Fix?"
I've searched everywhere for a fix, but I can't find anything, so I came here. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this, or at least reduce the lag?
Thanks in advance,

I was seeing my phone work slower and slower on 2.3.6, I suspected that the developers of the apps I used were starting to develop for ICS and that maybe it was different enough that the updates were causing the apps to misbehave on older versions. I flashed to ICS just to see... and it was a great move, ICS on the captivate flies!!! I used SlimICS, I think it is the right way to go for Galaxy S phones...

First of all, lagfix isn't really used anymore. Also, I would say to get rid of those task killing apps. They don't help and only add to your problems. A lot of the symptoms you encountered are pretty common, and I was expecting something much worse. You seem to be running a different kernel that allows overclock; which is it?
If all else fails, try ICS

Hey
I tried to upgrade to ICS with Team ICSSGS [Android 4.0.3]. I followed a step by step tutorial using CWM to load "ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_Captivate.zip" and installation seems to go well. But after I try to reboot my phone, the AT&T logo comes up, then the "Google" logo comes up, but it just stays stuck at the Google logo forever. ICS never starts up. I've tried removing the battery and then going back into CWM and restarting the process but the same thing keeps happening. What should I do?

You flashed it twice, correct? Try wiping your data.

Yeah, I've flashed it a few times. Each time, before I install it, I clear data/factory reset, clear cache, and davlik cache, but it's still just getting stuck at the "Google" boot screen. It's weird because every time, CWM says it installs successfully. I'm starting to think that the .zip I downloaded isn't so good...
Do you know of a good, stable version of ICS I could use instead? Maybe even the same one you're using?
Thanks

I gave up on ICS... I could not get it to work for the life of me and it was getting me extremely frustrated. I almost bricked my phone (I think).
Maybe I'll try it again if someone could link me to a detailed step-by-step tutorial to upgrading to ICS. I'm very new to the way android works and a lot of the tutorials are just plain confusing to me...
I ended up reverting back to GB 2.3.4.
Thanks for helping me out though.
Try reading some stickies, there are some great guides. There's also one in my sig.

GUIDE TO INSTALL ICS, my way at least
Hey if you're looking for a good guide to putting ICS on your captivate I can help, The first time i tried ICS i messed things up and angrily decided that i wouldn't try it again and reverted back to 2.3.5, after carefully trying ICS again i love it so much. I won't ever go back to android 2.whatever.
I used CM9 ICS and have no issues or bugs. It's possible there are other better ICS roms but i prefer this one since i know for a fact that it works great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
You'll need to download CM9 v17 and a gapps package on your SD card.
trust me, ICS is worth it, it's much better than 2.3
if you have titanium backup backup your user apps (NOT SYSTEM APPS/SYSTEM DATA)
Rom installation:
First things first always do a nandroid backup so you can go back easier, if necessary.
once thats done go to CWM recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. once that's done install the CM9 .zip package for the rom.
IT WILL STOP HALFWAY THROUGH AND REBOOT ITSELF, as this is the new kernel being installed. while it's still rebooting pull the battery and let it turn off, reboot straight into CWM recovery.
once this happens go back to install you CM9 .zip file again. it will finish all the installation after that. once it finishes the install you should definitely install the Gapps.zip. it will load up your google apps (market,gmail,youtube,etc and your google account sync) if you don't load the Gapps you will not have very much functionality to your captivate.
once you have your google apps installed you should be ready to fly with a fast responsive captivate. Hope this helps, it took a few trial and error runs before i figured it out.
If you used titanium backup to backup your apps you can restore APPS ONLY!!! don't restore any system data/system apps!!!! it's very important that you don't do that.
that should be it. enjoy your ICS, it's much better than android 2.blah
Fastness: CM7
Sexyness: CM9
That's the answer to everything.
I have run aokp (my current) and doc's master. Both have been great!
I'm far from an Android guru but if you follow the directions, you will be ok. Both also have relatively supportive forums if you get in a jam.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem
Sorry if I'm posting this in a wrong area
Well, I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2.0 stable by Kabaldan for Milestone A853. Then I tried to install CyanogenMod 9 Nightly (from Skrilax build bot), the latest version. Everything was going well, then when I tried to boot, a screen about "Android is updating applications" appeared, and then after updating, the phone hard rebooted, back to the M logo. Then I left it booting again, and it rebooted again, though this time the update screen didn't appeared. Sometimes I get the first screen to appear, but I can't even touch the phone because it reboots before I try to do so. I tried installing CyanogenMod 10 (Skrilax nightly build bot again) and the same error happened! What is happening to my phone? I've never found anyone with this problem
Please help me! Thanks.
Did you perform a full wipe before applying CM9/10?

If by full wipe you mean the three wipe options in OpenRecovery (Dalvik, Data and Cache) then yes. I even deleted the /system folder and nothing!
UPDATE: I tried to install CM10, removed system, data and cache through ADB and dalvik cache, installed CM10 and gapps. When booting, the first screen asking for language rapidly appears, and reboots. I tried to boot again, then I rapidly touched the screen when the screen appeared, and it didn't reboot! Well, that's better, but CM10 is too lagged for daily use, that's why I want to install CM9!
I'm using CM10 from couple of days..
I get enough RAM to run apps that I daily use...check for unwanted apps that are not being used, disable it through hwa setting app. Just use it for a day .. IMO CM10 is better than CM9.
BTW I removed gtalk, maps, email, exchange service and other unwanted apps from OR...which I don't use at all..

If nothing solves your problem, you should reflash the SBFs and start all over again. I had to do this sometimes. Formatting the SDCard (after backing-up your personal data) also helps to prevent this from ocurring.
Well, never mind, I was robbed saturday. Thanks for the help folks
Sad! But it's a chance to get a better phone. Good luck!

and BPSW for 2.1.1 is needed? or optional?
It's optional.
You only have to wipe data,dalvik-cache and data (you will lose all your information, so backup everything) and to create an ext partition on your sdcard.

yeah I know, I read the dev thread but can't make replies there. I am now on CM10 from 09/24 (last 4.1.1) and considering about CM10 4.2 but I was little bit confused about BPSW. And will there be problem If I will uprgade from 2.2? Because I don't have nandroid backup of 2.1
(FYI, the current CM10 is based on Android 4.1.2.
4.2 will be the next version of Android and probably CM11 will be based on it.)
Anyway, i upgraded from 2.2 to 4.0.4 and then to 4.1.1 and now 4.1.2.
I believe you can upgrade from 2.2 to 4.1.2 without any problem.
(but always make a nandroid before upgrading)
Yes, it's perfectly possible upgrade from 2.2 Stock ROM, although it's more difficult to root it.
I did it without any problems.
Is there any difference between upgrading from 2.1 or from 2.2?

Yeah, sorry for that mistake, my fault. I upgraded from 2.2 to 4.0.4 and now I have 4.1.1. I tried to upgrade to 4.1.2 from 4.1.1 but it was laggy (10/16 and 10/17) so I restore it back to 4.1.1 which is pretty stable and I will wait to better time for this upgrade, because it is my main phone and my boss is upset when I am not available when he calls me

I've read somewhere, that one must upgrade to 2.2 because upgrading from 2.1 will cause problem with some hardware module.

Kabaldan is working on it. It seems, if the CPU's clockspeed is under 600MHz, then something is wrong with the GPU performance. (So you should consider using Performance CPU governor.)

I know that someone wrote it in dev thread for CM9 or CM10, but my battery is pretty weak, I am glad that with Juice defender it lasts for 12 hours and Performance governor is pretty aggressive to battery drain. Anyway thanks for answering my nooby questions
Hello, I have had a touchpad for some time and but CM9 and CWM on it some time ago, but it started having some issues recently. So I figured I should try and reinstall a newer version of CM and start from scratch.
I went to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026692 and downloaded both the skz+tenderloin-1.10.zip and the gapps zip.
I then placed those into the Download folder on the touchpad.
This is where things took a turn. I rebooted to get into CWM, upon selecting it from the boot menu it kept restarting back to the boot menu. After a few tries it got into CWM. I then wiped the data and did a factory reset, wiped the cache, and then wiped the dalvik like the post said to do. I then went to install zip from sdcard. Found the skz+tenderloin zip and chose to install that. CWM says it starts to install but then before the progress bar fills up at all...it resets back to the bootloader.
At this point I am at a loss with what to do and I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
UPDATE: I figured starting from scratch would be the best bet, so I have uninstalled CM9 and CWM using ACMEUninstall. Now I am wondering if it is worth using CM10 as my default Android or should I stick with the best CM9.
Either way, if I should use CM9 or 10 can someone either help me or point me in the right direction for the best tutorial on doing this properly?
Restore a backup then DL an updated version of CM9 to flash or upgrade to ACMEInstaller3 to give you a larger system partition along with the latest version of CWM in order to install a CM10 rom apart from oats which does not require the extra space .
There are numerous guides and you should probably read up on a little bit before just flashing a rom to avoid the problems you are having .

The issue I am encountering is there is a ton of info out there, some outdated some not. I restored back to stock webOS with nothing else. I have ACMEInstaller 3 in the Palm directory, so I am ready to install the most stable/best CM9 currently out there, I just don't know which tutorial is the best one to follow. Could you perhaps just link me to one you recommend?

I can tell you that I use my Schizoid as my daily driver, and it's not a preview.
So I just upgraded to CM 10.1 from CM 9 that I have been running since the beginning. My one issue is that whenever I try to mount my "SD" card (Internal storage obviously) It just tells me that it is now safe to remove it. I have been unable to get it to mount, but it mounts fine in TWRP. Any ideas? I'm gonna reflash and see if the issue was the custom kernal or a botched flash, but other than that I'm lost. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes I have. And as far as I have read I wouldn't even be able to install CM 10.1 to begin with if I had not, the partition size is not big enough. The issue is taken care of now though, it was some random glitch with the custom kernel I was installing.
I uninstalled CM9 using acmeuninstaller and then installed CM 10.1 using acmeinstaller3 / cm-10.1-20130617-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin, so far i didn't notice this issue.
