Just flashed the 0412 nightly, and all's well. (and btw, pawtip, I have still never experienced an in-call reboot, or a sleep/charge death on any CM ROM. Stable as a... a... mutable rock.)

A couple of the bigger changes I noticed (as detailed in the changelog):
  1. If you use the default browser app, instead of Chrome, then the user-agent will finally report that you're running CM. Just cool to know; not to be paranoid about. :)
    Old user-agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.4; en-us; SGH-I897 Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30"
    New user-agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.4; en-us; SGH-I897 Build/IMM76D; CyanogenMod-9) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30"
  2. Camera app lets you pinch to zoom now, instead of only using the slider, but it's digital zoom, not optical, so it's as useless as instagram is :)
  3. All the default audio ringtones & notifications got re-organized, so you might want to double-check that you weren't using any that got removed.

    Here's the list of audio that got removed:
    • mnt/system/media/audio/alarms/Alarm_Beep_01.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/alarms/Alarm_Beep_02.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/alarms/Alarm_Beep_03.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/alarms/Alarm_Buzzer.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/alarms/Alarm_Classic.ogg

    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/CaffeineSnake.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/Cricket.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/Doink.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/Drip.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/F1_MissedCall.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/F1_New_MMS.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/F1_New_SMS.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/Heaven.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/moonbeam.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/pixiedust.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/pizzicato.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/Plastic_Pipe.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/SpaceSeed.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/TaDa.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/Tinkerbell.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/notifications/tweeters.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/ringtones/Backroad.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/ringtones/BeatPlucker.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/ringtones/FreeFlight.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/ringtones/Ring_Classic_02.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/ringtones/Ring_Digital_02.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/ringtones/Ring_Synth_02.ogg
    • mnt/system/media/audio/ringtones/Ring_Synth_04.ogg

    And here's the new stuff that got added:
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/alarms/Copernicium.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/alarms/Curium.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/notifications/Acrux.ogg

    • mnt2/system/media/audio/notifications/Antares.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/notifications/Betelgeuse.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/notifications/Canopus.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/notifications/Castor.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/notifications/Deneb.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/notifications/Electra.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/notifications/Fomalhaut.ogg

    • mnt2/system/media/audio/ringtones/Iridium.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/ringtones/Lyra.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/ringtones/Nasqueron.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/ringtones/Testudo.ogg
    • mnt2/system/media/audio/ringtones/Vespa.ogg

    Additionally, some of the UI sound effects seem to have changed.

Thanks man.
I am curious, I have SLIM ICS and youtube works fine with TV OUT but Netflix does not so I am wondering why it wouldnt work with this one? In fact, on every rom I have tried for me it was always Netflix the issue.
Sorry for bugging about the same just trying to clarify as I do use it often.
Thanks!

I believe that hardware decoding is required to display most content protected video (netflix, etc) and certain video formats/resolution/quality that require hardware assisted decoding (due to processing power).

I have never had a reboot during call issue. I generally use the JL3 modem, but have used KG3 and KP1 also.

I tried this: I first installed the STOCK UKK4 package and then the last Nightly. While rebooting, Trebuchet began to crash, restarting the home's icons and, in particular, the photocamera icon went a green Android (usually it happens when the APP icon is not loaded) and if I tried to start it, after it crashed. So, it is obvious to say that there are also some RANDOM REBOOTS. Please let me know what kind of information you need ( LOGCAT or others ). The KERNEL is intact.

Sounds like a bad flash. Try downloading the latest nightly again, verify the md5, then flash it (or at least verify the md5 of your existing download and then reflash).

I've just matched the MD5 of Nightly flashed and the same just downloaded: they are EQUAL.

No it doesnt, I;ve tried almost every modem for ICS but since updating to Build17, I can talk on the phone longer before the phone reboots. I have had 20 -30 mins calls before a reboot.

Previously, it was like 2-9mins if not plugged to a power source.

I upgraded by doing a backup and flashing the ROM.

Will be flashin this weekend the nightly.

I have not had any more reboots during calls since 0407 nightly. First time since build 11 that I haven't had to use glitch to make phone calls. I'm using I9000UGKG3.

After flashed the stock UCKK4, did you flash the corn kernel which has based CWM recovery for this rom or you flashed directly from the e3 recovery?

You use (for example) the corn kernel on stock att roms to get clockworkmod because the 3e recovery doesnt allow any unisgned package. So you install the korn kernel to get cwm to flash ICS.

The corn kernel integrated the ClockWorkMod recovery which allow you to flash any other rom from recovery mode. So follow these step to flash again:
- Back to stock UCKK4 rom.
- Flash Corn Kernel which can find easily in this forum.
- Reboot to recovery mode and install the CM9 rom.

Go to the market and search for them app name SDrescan, there will some apps with same effect but I use this. After update your media data base from SD card or internal storage, run this app (it runs very quick) and your media player will update with the new database.

There's no way he could have flashed without a CWM-injected kernel, so why are you telling him this?

So coming from Mosaic and its listed as an i9000 so when I go to follow the steps listed in the OP i get Status 7 installation aborted.

Any steps/links I need to follow in order to put the latest nightly on here?

Thanks

EDIT: Found ICY Glitch and it appears to be installing update now. Holding breath....

EDIT 2: It is happily rebooting into recovery all the time. Still shows I9000 at boot, then the CyanogenMod boot and then into blue recovery over and over.

Have you tried flashing the ROM a second time?

    CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
    Code: 
    #include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

    CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

    What are Nightly builds? Auto compiled builds of the latest CyanogenMod source from github. This version change each night and aren't officialy supported. If you find bugs/issues you can/must discuss here (do not submit nightlies bug on CyanogenMod issue tracker).

    Downloads

    Latest nightly: http://get.cm/?device=captivatemtd
    Google Apps: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/

    Installation

    - First time flashing ICS to your Captivate (or coming from another ROM)?
    1. Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
    2. Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
    3. Do a Nandroid backup!
    4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
    5. Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
    6. Optionally install the Google Addon
    7. WIPE again or Calendar Sync will not work.
    - Upgrading from CM7?
    1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
    2. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
    3. Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
    4. Optionally install the Google Addon
    - Upgrading from another CM9 (or teamhacksung) Build?
    1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
    2. Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
    3. Optionally install the Google Addon
    Note: The upgrade process from CM7 to ICS is automatic, but downgrading from ICS to CM7 (or restoring Nandroid) requires flashing twice. Once from ICS and again from CM7's recovery.

    FAQ (Read here for Change log!)

    The FAQ is available on Teamhacksung's Wiki. Please read before asking any questions and please feel free to edit it.

    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.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    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.
