Ya I flashed the matching gapps right after. Didn't do a data wipe before it all though. I guess I'll do it when I get home from work. Wonder why calendar is such an issue. Oh well, I'll let you guys know. This will be my process. wipe data/cache reflash nightly then flash gapps. No reboot between. We'll see.

No, not just gapps. GApps Fixer. Fixed calendar sync for me. Hope you haven't wiped yet.

Same Changes!

It's my impression or we had same changes on last nightly update?
Tha custom cm9 boot screen is missing!
The option when you plug the usb is crazy!
Tell that is as a camera, and apperas the 4g icon in notification panel.
Is only me, or my cellphone is realy crazy?
Thanks!

sounds like you installed a third party system UI modification (i.e. like the Reloaded package or a theme) that messed up your drawables. don't flash/install these if you want support.

Its been awhile since my last flash. I'm currently on Fasty KI2 2.3.5 with AT&T GB bootloaders. I really would like to go to an ICS ROM so I went with CM9 one since everything else is based on it.

I saw in the instructions that I can just download, wipe, and flash....is that correct? I just don't want to have a brick. Also would it be best if I went back to 2.3.5 stock first?

Just follow the instructions in the OP. Flashing CM will never brick your phone because it does not flash any boot loaders. CM also does not require any specific version of boot loaders, i897 eclair/froyo, i897 gb, and i9000 gb will all work. If the flash fails, you can use three button recovery and flash again, or in worst case scenario, boot to download mode and use odin.

    4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

    Known Issues

    Please check the list of known issues before reporting bugs.

    http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/Experimental:GT-I9000:Known_issues

    Reporting Bugs

    You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.

    • Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines)
    • If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
    Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow.

    Code:
    What is your--
    Phone model:
    Radio (baseband):
    CM version:
    CM Download url:
    Gapps version:
    
    Did you--
    wipe:
     restore with titanium backup:
    reboot after having the issue:
    
    Are you using--
    a task killer:
    a non-stock kernel:
    CMSettings/Performance settings (other than stock):
    other modifications:
    
    Provide any additional information (observations/frequency of problem/last version it worked on/etc) as needed:

    The CyanogenMod team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

    I understand this is a nightly thread. I was unable to find a stable release anywhere and figured I'd ask here as this is the only CM9 thread that I found for the Captivate.

    No wonder people keep telling me XDA is going downhill. Everyone here seems to get all butthurt when someone asks a question.

    People get butthurt because there's two type of people in each thread. There's people that effectively read every post and come in several times a day, and there's people that just drop in and post. You fall into the second group. The first group spends so much of their resources keeping up to date on the bleeding edge that they feel offended someone like you should come in and get an answer so easily. So to make up for it they take the time and effort to post something demeaning just to assert their greater intelligence on the subject, as opposed to a simple "No" in your case. The relationship between the complexity of the question is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the outlash against you. You could have come in and asked about in-call reboots and probably gotten a straight answer (or "logcat or gtfo" if you're lucky, ya hooked a dev!), but since you asked about a stable release (which to my knowledge there are no stable CM9 builds for any device, but I know nothing outside of the devices I personally own) you got the big stick.

    .....and my 5/10 flash is complete so back to regularly scheduled programming

    By the way, unless your girlfriend is 84 years old, she can probably live with CM9 the way it is in the nightly builds

    pawitp,

    I understand the importance of following the standard method used on other Cyanogenmod devices, but I am curious how this compares to devices with no external sdcard option (such as the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus)? Do these devices also have the internal sdcard mounted to /mnt/emmc and nothing mounted to /mnt/sdcard? While I realize that you made the change to follow a standard used by other devices, how does it make any sense to tell people that the internal card is mounted as "external multimedia card" (emmc)?

    I think it makes much more sense for the entire CM team to revisit how sdcards (internal and external) are named and mounted to come up with something that makes more sense for every device rather than being arbitrarily based on a standard that was in place since the G1 and other devices that did not have an internal SD card. The Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus should be the references, especially in CM9, not old devices that will never even run CM9.

    Oops, I forgot this is the Captivate thread. Read http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25200728#post25200728.

    And eMMC stands for embedded MMC not external MMC.

    The download link in the first post is wrong. That link is for the international Galaxy S. Here is the link for the Captivate.

    Fixed. Too much copy pasting :p
