Any news on CM9 RC1? Im just about to try ICS for the first time and i saw that R9 is released. Maybe ill wait till it arrives for the old Cappy.

There is no reason to wait for the RC. Flash the latest nightly and when the RC is released, flash it. Flashing CM on top of CM does not wipe anything except for the caches, so there is no extra work involved. The "exception" to this is that everything that is part of the mainline CM build is included, so if you use TiBU to remove a part of CM, it will come back when you flash a new build, or if you use a 3rd party kernel, you will go back to the THS/CM kernel when you flash a new build.

I wondering why each day have a new rom, something new??

Generally yes, though you won't always notice anything new. Userdebug builds (nightlies) for CM are built every single night. These builds are primarily for the developers so they can test new functions and/or bugfixes they have implemented without having to build it themselves on their own machine. Since CM builds nightlies for each device, they allow all of us to run them and do our own testing, however, there is no official bug reporting allowed for the nightlies since they are not stable builds. You can find the changelog to see what has changed in each nightly for each device here: http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/

edit: it appears that the changlog is not getting updates since May 24th.

The BBQLog app shows updates for the 25th, 26th, and 27th.

[EDIT]I checked the website, and it doesn't show the nightly builds on the 26th or 27th. Very odd, since the app pulls the info from the same place, and, presumably uses the same functions to track the builds and which updates are in which build. I sense a disturbance in the force! Lol.[/EDIT]

I think they have their cache meta tags setup wrong. I had to do a Ctrl + F5 to get the page to refresh.

My bln isn't working on my captivate any longer even though the settings say enabled. I installed bln control and it says the mod isn't installed. Anyone else having issues?

Edit. I put glitch on and it now works with the bln control test but not for email app. At least bln control says it is now enabled. Any ideas why not in cm9 stock?

Search the thread for BLN and/or LED Notifications. You'll find a previous post that I made that should answer your questions.

Since BLN is a third party app and Glitch is a third party kernel, if you have any problems with either, you should ask them elsewhere (like in the Glitch thread).

I wouldn't bother with the app either

Im about to flash 6/29. Been a few days now and im very impressed with cynagenmod. It runs a bit faster than KK4 too. Only down side would be the battery, its draining faster than i expected it to.

Ive done the usual stuff like disable GPS and data. Are there any other things i can do to improve the battery life?

I couldn't be happier with the battery life. After unplugging it in the morning, it's on for 16 hours. When I plug it in again at bed time the battery is generally at about 40 %. I do keep my screen pretty dim, though.

I will scan the thread again. Was just saying that the built-in light notification wasn't working any longer with the kernal that comes with the nightlies. Without third party kernal or app it worked perfect up until a couple flashes ago. The only way I could make it work again was with 3rd party.

Was just wondering if anyone else's was broke now.

I was just trying glitch and bln app to make sure the function still worked and it wasn't my phone. No questions regarding those here, just wondering if anyone else is having probs with the built in since I prefer to stay stock cm9.


Edit: OK I guess the better question is if led notification is broke. I always thought bln was "back light notification" and not "blink". My apologies for being confusing. So yeah the led notify doesn't work any longer even though it says enabled. Should I wipe and try again or anyone else having the problem?

Edit 2: went back to 20th and led worked fine. Went to 30th and no luck.

    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
