worst mistake to get captivate :( no help here

i ordered captivate knowing there will be nice people to support in this forum but there is none. i posted thread 2 times and both times its deleted without even informing me. i offer people free ps3 games and bluetooth headset still nobody wants to help here with lag fix and downloading rom? worst experience ever.

Sorry..... What?? No help = not asking the right question. You have over 400 posts and have gotten no help?!? weird......
Why would you offer free stuff for help? That just makes you seem like a spammer.

Quit being an idiot, and help yourself.
Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod

Wow. This place is self service. Have you tried doing any searches or are you just waiting for someone to help you? Threads rarely get deleted. I'm guessing from your original post that you aren't very good at communicating.

im new here on captivate. do u guys really think i would understand all that rom stuff and kies and stuff i dont even know what they are. i dont even know how to root

If you need help with Captivate related stuff, I can help you out. Shoot me a PM.
At the others, if you don't have anything constructive to say, then better to keep quiet and report the thread.

Great words Miami_Son...Lol, it sounds like he's waiting for a personal invite to information that is abundantly available in this forum. 2 months ago I had no idea how to do anything with my Cappy beside make a phone call and now I'm changing ROM's and themes more often than I change my drawers.
Bit of advice there the_ahmadzais, get a clue and quit waiting for someone to ask you if you need help. Read, read, read, read, all the information you need is all here with the click of you mouse. :/

Who wants to bet this will get closed soon

Captivate is my first android phone. Reading is all I needed to do to get into flashing and custom roms. Rooting can't be any easier with programs like Super One click and the like.

I'm closing it because of all this nonsense talk. I'll repeat what I said above, if you want to be stupid and ridicule the OP rather then lending a hand, then you're better off not posting.
@ the_ahmadzais, probably better off posting in the Q&A.

Status Bar Music Controls

I had them in my last rom, and i updated to the latest version and there is no option to chang songs or no now playing music on the pull down menu. any way i can get this back?

You can start by not spamming the dev section.

Man Shut Up, I am trying to get some help and if you dont have nothing to offer dont respond.

Firstly, this plus one.
I'm assuiming you mean on the latest gbread leak ee03?
Now, I don't think its a missing feature, but rather something about the status bar is broken. If you notice while you are in the music player app, the icon for the music player controls pops up in the status bar, but pull the bar down and its gone. And as soon as you leave the music app the icon disappears as I'm sure you're aware.
I believe its the status bar and not the app that's the problem since the same symptoms occur with the fm radio (haven't tried pandora yet)...even tho fm radio is borked lol

CM7/AOSP/ICS Discussion Thread.

Hey there everyone.
I'm from the Vibrant section, and I have some questions for you Galaxy S 4G users, please do know I searched around, but I thought it'd be best to have all the information anyone had on this particular topic all in one thread, so if anyone feels this is useless, feel free to delete it, I'm just trying to gain some knowledge. My girlfriend has a GS4G, and although the devs have done a great job modding Samsung's ROMs.. they don't compare to AOSP ROMs in my opinion.
Now, for the questions.
1. Why is it we can't get a working kernel to boot for the GS4G? (Someone please do explain in detail.)
2. How far has someone gone/gotten? (I know krylon handed the work to someone, but I don't think they've reported back?)
And please, no stupid answers. This is pure discussion. If a kernel dev is what we need, I could try to find one that's willing to work with me, but we'd need testers and such.

From what I heard and read around, you guys don't have any devs thats capable of doing that.

Alright, flame me.. because I'm definitely doing something wrong. I'm in no way demanding an ETA or even demanding anyone to start working on this, I simply wanted to group the information anyone knows so we could help each other.. you know.. kind of what a community does?

Guys, being cynical and trolling won't get us anywhere, and tell you the truth, it's childish and starting to bore.
The guy said he wanted a technical status summary and specifically said he wants to help.
In this case, i think we do need to maintain a thread of work chords and specify the barriers.
I thank every new dev with a will to help.
I think he deserves a different attitude than a noob, especially if we don't want to scare all devs from here.
That's my opinion anyway.

It's ok. I've responded to a few of these threads. It's surprising how many people don't click 'search' and search for 'cm7' or 'cyanogenmod'. I also don't expect people to read both rootz and xda. So if you read my op on the kernel thread, I have a "Plans" section (on both forums!).

Starting threads like these without searching only causes trolling and thread thrash (a lot of useless threads in the forum that blur the current state).

A lot of people take me the wrong way. I'm a geek. I read and write code. I don't like wasting my time making you feel all warm and fuzzy.

We have great developers that work hard on cm. The sgs 4g is the problem of not having it, freaking sammy with their experiments. i really enjoy their masterpieces(devs). Op you just have to have some patience, cm will come to us i believe in our devs.

Then why didn't you group all the information that is already available in the 50 other threads about CM7 into this one?
if you really wanted to do that, you could have made your OP a summary with bullet points of the details of everything that was already discussed, and then updated it with new information that comes along.
did you even search at all??

First of all, this has never been my primary device. I have never owned this device. I used to own the Samsung Vibrant, now I own a Nexus S. My girlfriend owned a Galaxy S 4G, and was using her phone to try to bring something new to you guys. (First ICS theme for this device ring a bell?) It's not my job to group 50 other threads about CM7 into this one. That's not what a community is. I am in no way a recognized developer, I know my stuff, but I have a long way to go. But it's people like you that make devs want to leave and stop posting their stuff. You swear people have time to do everything. And indeed that was my intention, but I wasn't going to pull useless information from other threads that members have posted, that are often inaccurate. This thread was mostly meant for devs, that could actually help out, and working together.
In other news, I finally have some time to mess around with stuff, might look into more themes or something, but I lack a device to work on, so I guess if some people would like to help (testing, etc.) I'd be glad to push things out from time to time.

[Q] Galaxy s 4G ICS

Do you think we will ever have ICS on the galaxy s 4g? I mean we saw it on G1, and lots of unsupported phones, and on the galaxy s 1 which doesn't support ICS officially. What is the problem stopping the development ?

Threads like this.
Also, the other phones have like a billion and one kernel devs. Not to mention our phone is Sammy's black sheep, by that I mean this phone is way different from other sgs.
Lastly, we have at least 3 other ICS threads why not ask there?

Why does everybody get annoyed when a regular person just wants to know whats wrong out of curiosity? I don't want any ROM or anything I just wanted a technical answer. is the problem the source code being unreleased? will the company ever release it?
I wish I could help, I would really love to. Its like a dream or long term goal to be a dev, study programming languages etc... but that requires lots of time and I'm just waiting a bit as i'm not sure where to start.
I am sorry for any misunderstanding as I know Devs already have rough days and nights with developing and improving. I wasn't "Demanding" or "pushing" as i'm not that person. I am just seeking knowledge, and if the Q&A section isn't the right place to search for Knowledge then I don't know where is.

The problem isn't with you so much as it is with the million dollar question that's been asked and answered a million times....its the question all devs cringe over when they see it repeated time n time again.
Put yourself in their shoes for a minute.....they put out as much as they can with what they can and people keep popping up this same question like they just aren't happy with what they are getting

To answer your question, and anybody else that wants to ask,
It is being worked on. We cannot get ICS to boot due to coding and kernel issues. I semi successfully ported an ICS ROM, but due to all the mods and changes, it felt empty. So we went back to the drawing board and started over. Since we don't have source code, it makes things much more difficult. Be patient. And for the record, the first place to search for knowledge is Google. Fb is right though. We do need more help. The more people we have working on this, the better our chances are. Learn how to compile kernel and ROM from source. Learn scripting. And learn how to Google...

I do understand what you mean, and I already put myself in the dev's shoes and I really admire their work, all of it. But I went through all the threads regarding ICS, and sadly their aim is to push , demand and request stuff from devs as if devs don't have enough on their minds already, and that is really annoying and disrespectful. But not all people are like that. I don't have any requests( I have a Nexus S with ICS, SGS 4g CM7.2) I am just seeking knowledge.
I am really grateful for what each and every DEV offers as it is from their personal and free time. Sorry for any misunderstanding

What Thomas posted is true but the main reason we dont have a working ICS port is this statement above.
The op makes a good point, this is the Q&A section. Even tho there are many threads asking this same question most of them have ended up in bashing with nerf bats or a mod locking because of insults. Ive read the other threads, but most people will stop reading when the conversation turns sour. You might actually read the other posts but your mind shuts it down. So a informative post will slip in and you wont catch it.
The biggest problem with threads that ask this question is assumptions. When people stop assuming and start to understand the person asking the question things get resolved.

Friendly forum

I just wanted to say that everyone has been so nice and helpful on this forum. I came from the atrix 4g forum and wow can people get *****y and snap at every little thing. God forbid you're a noob over there, cuz if so you ask a question and get attacked! So I just want to say its nice to see not everyone is so grouchy on these public forums.

haha you'll have a fair share here as well, you will have people bashing on other people for not using the search button to find their answer but you know somewhere in time they also did the same :silly:
as long as you give a positive attitude and give constructive replies then you should be good.. not much of a fan of those people who just bash other people and not even answer the question lol

Oh yes I know. that is pretty much what most people do over there. Bash bash bash, then report the thread. Just makes you not feel welcome if its your first time there. I try to help if I know the answer, if not, I move on even if its annoying. Being a noob once myself, if I had gotten that kind of welcome I would have said forget it. But here, I jumped right in and have gotten nothing but nice answers from people. 2 weeks with the rocket now and i feel welcome.

Skyrocket is a good phone and the developers here are great. If you haven't tried the CM10 builds you should, it's a really nice rom.
There are plenty of bashers here, but I tend to just ignore them, and you will soon figure out who the valuable contributors are...

Do not forget to mention a whole lot stable and very solid ics based roms. And yes this particular forum can get aggrivating at times. I'm pleading the fifth for a here and there moment.

Thanks to both of you. I really like this phone. I love and still have my atrix, but I wanted some support and once you buy moto, seems they just don't care anymore. I have already tried 2 cm10 ROMs, liquid and orthus. I really liked liquid, but the freezing and reboots plagued me so gave orthus a shot. No problems at all. I've asked questions of both developers and got quick nice responses. Such a welcome change from being told to figure it out myself from members at atrix forum.

I recommend slim or aokp xperiance for the job action. Both seemed to have less sods and RRs.

As someone who occasionally falls into the "basher" category here, I can honestly say that it's not without reason. If you come in and post a series of questions that show that you didn't read a thing before flashing, I'll tell you straight up that you're going to brick if you don't stop. I don't hold the hands of people who can't be troubled to figure out which JB ROM is most stable the same way the rest of us did--by reading and flashing. Going into ROM threads and baselessly slamming the dev will also get me riled up quickly, because I have yet to see a dev community as thorough and thoughtful as the one the Skyrocket has.
Even still, I'd like to hope I've mellowed out lately, if for no other reason than I've just accepted that those who don't want to read won't read a thing until they have a brick. Hence my new signature line. And for what it's worth, this is one of the more positive XDA communities I've read through. I've seen members on one board intentionally try to hard-brick others who repeatedly ask dumb questions!

As someone who occasionally falls into the "basher" category here, I can honestly say that it's not without reason. If you come in and post a series of questions that show that you didn't read a thing before flashing, I'll tell you straight up that you're going to brick if you don't stop. I don't hold the hands of people who can't be troubled to figure out which JB ROM is most stable the same way the rest of us did--by reading and flashing. Going into ROM threads and baselessly slamming the dev will also get me riled up quickly, because I have yet to see a dev community as thorough and thoughtful as the one the Skyrocket has.

I'm with this guy:good:

I love that you feel that way.
I think we just have much stricter moderators than many of the other forums. I've read through quite a few of the other phone forums and it seems like people get away with A LOT more than we could.
That being said- even MY version of trolling will get you reported here (very low key.. Just nicely point people in the right direction... But people like to get angry when you tell them they are wrong). So I don't even do that.
Glad I could contribute to your overall good feelings here, though. I work really hard at being nice
