CyanogenMod 7 for Nexus S - Running on Captivate [Unstable/Alpha]

I have got CM7 to boot on my Captivate using some of the same methods used to boot the stock Gingerbread ROM. I have had a lot of questions about it, so I figured I would post what I did in one location and once I (and others) start to play more, findings can be posted here.
I take credit for nothing... All I did was switched around a couple files to boot CM7 instead of GB.
Requirements
You must be root on your phone
Your /data must be converted in Ext4 by Voodoo lagfix or another Ext4 lagfix.
You must have proceed to complete backups before
Some busybox installation is also useful for tar.
Another Important note
Be absolutely 100% sure you have access to the download mode using the 3 buttons combination.
If you don't, it will be extremely difficult (even if in theory not impossible) to to flash another kernel back.
Steps:
1: Download CM7 dump to SDCARD:
2: Run the following via ADB
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data
mkdir gingerbread
cd gingerbread
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/CM7.tar.gz
busybox cp -a /efs efs
sync
reboot recovery
3: Flash attached "I9020_reoriented_alpha_1223.zip" via CWM Recovery
Watch CyanogenMod 7 boot on your phone!
How do I get back?
This is a dual-boot setup... Everything is still intact that you were running before this.
All you have to do is download and flash your previous kernel via ODIN. Once you do this, the phone will reboot into Froyo. Simply reinstall the I9020_reoriented_alpha_1223.zip and your back on CM7 again, just like you left it. MAGIC!
What's about this port:
- It uses the Nexus S kernel compiled from sources by supercurio that has been reoriented for the Captivate by xcaliburinhand
- It runs the exact /system image release, that I pulled from a CM7 alpha .zip file posted in the NS forums.
Which filesystem?
This is simply a mod of supercurio's early gingerbread preview, so it runs on Ext4. no RFS at all, the kernel don't support RFS.
Does everything work ?
No; will update as I discover more of what does and doesn't work.
KEEP IN MIND
CyanogenMod ROMs do not come with any Gapps and using this method, you will not be able to access CWMrecovery to flash the Gapps files floating around. I hope to have an answer to getting Gapps installed with ease by late tonight.
For now; I'm going back to work,
Thanks for all the devs who did this hard work in such a short period of time... please donate to them. I have contributed nothing thus far!

please report anything not working with this rom.

Uploading files to cut down on the amount of directions... had to manually add AT&T APN, but I was getting good network upload/download and voice... haven't tried much more than that, just got it booted about 2am last night and had to go to work at 8am... so I flashed back to GB; will be right back on this as soon as I get home this evening.

More than likely... anything not working on Gingerbread won't be working here either... these ports are going to be using the same kernel, for now.

What modem did you use?

Pretty sure they moved to the nexus s kernel source and just bolting mods on now, breaking stuff on the way...
We have full source for the Nexus S, kinda confused as to why they are so bent on using AOSP and porting code over to make it the same kernel... seems like a lot of extra work for no reason to me.

Gapps
I'm testing a method I came up with to install gapps right now, it might take a while but hopefully it'll be quick and easy. I'll report back if/when I get results.

This dual boot thing is MADNESS!!! (In tone of 300) hahaha.... Gotta try this when I get home.!

My i897 just need VolUp+Pwr to enter Recovery mode,
and VolDn+Pwr to enter Download mode.
To get out of any trouble,
don't flash any bootloader, and exclude(delete) any bootloader inside any update(whatever).zip
Normally you don't need to flash or update bootloader.
However, if your phone lack of 3butt comb.,
flash a i9000 bootloader then you will have better access to Recovery and Download mode.
If anyone wanna try this NS rom,
be sure to make backup of /efs.
It store your imei, product code and all identification data,
and this partition use RFS which NS doesn't use.

JT's Pure Gingerbread from Twitter

Just installed, but no gapps and no recovery or reboot option, just shutdown.
So far sensors seem to work- rotation, proximity is a little slow after pulling away from face
Call volume is much improved
GPS turns on, have not been able to get outside to test for satellite lock yet
Wireless will not turn on - no foce close, just wont enable
Data works - downloading New Market to try and bump gapps install ( no PC available for adb at the moment)
Will post details in a bit

MMS sends, have not received reply yet
Still unable to install gapps, any ideas?
Very fast and very vanilla

Ha, I'm stuck at work too! Really looking forward to seeing how it runs. I'm sure you can flash the gapps package jt has in his CM7 thread. And if your drivers are set up on your pc you should be able to adb reboot recovery.... hopefully.

Did you ask JT if you could post the link here? You think there might be a reason he is only posting on twitter and not here?

Is there a way to get to the new recovery? Not the three finger salute one that is

Since it is vanilla Gingerbread, the only option to recovery is three finger, although I did not try to install ROM Manager, so it may work to boot straight into recovery.
I odin'd the cw4 from Jt's CM7 post, but still got errors about not being able to mount /system, so I guess there are still file system differences between CM7, Gingerbread, and Froyo.
I had to odin back to stock, flash CM7, then restore my backup.
With the limited time I played with it, it performed spectacularly aside from the previously mentioned issues.
Once I can get gapps and a working recovery installed it could easily be a daily driver for me.

If you have JT's .zip file for installing CM7, when you tell CWM (red) to Install Zip from SD card, and choose the CM7 zip, it will auto-reboot you into CWM blue.
from there you can easily flash any of the new CM7 roms, including MIUI, OMFGB, and of course the CM7 zip that got you into the blue recovery in the first place.
Also, put JT's gapps .zip file onto your SD card and flash with thew new CWM after you have installed the rom. shouldn't need adb to install that.

I noticed yesterday that his release has Dev Tools which includes the Terminal Emulator. So I ended up just rebooting that way

reboot recovery?
Did not think about that, I am going to re-flash it later this afternoon from scratch to try some GPS fixes also...

Does anyone know if this project is still being worked on? I haven't seen any mention of it from JT since the original tweet.
I would like to use this as a daily-driver if it's stable enough.

AOSP Gingerbread isn't really a project, it's plain Gingerbread as Google released it. Not really a whole lot to work on after it's Fascinate ready.

Been using it on the EVO. It's good, but not quite as responsive as TWRP was. It's basically just an enlarged CWM that's touchable, not quite designed for touch yet. On the otherhand its still nice and can't wait to see future progressions with it

Yeah according to koush's twitter he just "hacked" touch into cwm recovery so I'm sure he'll work on it more. Twrp is a nice recovery and koush is a really good recovery developer so I'm sure he'll make it better if possible. It's funny after finding out about twrp 2.0 being in development before it was even released I asked koush if it was possible to have touch in cwm. Now we're getting it lol.

Using it on my NS4G and honestly I like it better than TWRP. Everything being larger is reassuring, in TWRP I was always nervous because there was such a small area to select. With the items being so close in TWRP I always wanted my volume keys to work so I could make fine maneuvers and in CWM Touch they do. So you can use it just like regular CWM or with touch. Nice if you mess up your touch screen. And of course it also works with ROM Manager. I downloaded it from the site but I may actually donate the $2 for it too.

I know I tested it for him last night but it's not stable. I wouldn't purchase it quite yet. Download it from the site and test it out. It will boot into recovery for about 5-10 secs format your cache then reboot to system/rom. Strange bug. It would be nice if someone else could confirm this.

I just flashed it through fastboot and haven't seen that issue. I'm actually in the process of making a backup
Edit: Weird thing.. made a backup and rebooted, everything was gone. It brought my ROM completely back to barebones.. even gapps were gone. Restoring with Touch now to see what happens.

Hmm, well I did fastboot erase recovery before flashing, not sure if that has anything to do with it. What recovery did you flash this on top of, just the previous cwm recovery? You can also report bugs to him on irc freenode #koush

Yeah I was coming from the previous version of cwm. I just did a restore and everything is fine. Ill probably mess with it a little later when I have some free time.
Sent from my Android powered Tenderloin

I'm not at my pc to try fastboot again but I did flash the previous cwm recovery and it works fine. Then I flashed the new touch recovery with the flash_image command in terminal emulator and I'm getting the same results as before. This is really annoying me because I would like to get this recovery working and I don't know WTH is going wrong here. Maybe it's the new firmware update? I doubt it. Anyways hope to here from more people that try this out.
Edit: when I get a chance later I'll flash with fastboot without running the fastboot erase recovery command and see how it goes.

I must have got lucky... I used joey krim's GUI Flash App and flashed it over the top of the prior clockwork mod recovery... I'll spend a little time tonight trying to replicate...
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

Well just used the touch recovery to flash my first ROM and had no issues. Maybe my first experience was fluke.
Anyway, liking this recovery so far.

I'm gonna be using GUI flash like Drob since its just easier for me

question for the pro's, if I understand all this I just rename the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.6-speedy.img to PG06100.img , boot into fastboot and flash ?

I'm nit sure about that (although I feel it should be .zip but probably wrong), but you could use Flash Image GUI from the Market or use fastboot from your PC. You'd just stick the .img file in the same folder as fastboot, cd there and type "fastboot flash recovery whateveryounamedit.img". Personally I like Flash Image, works well for flashing kernels too.

Yeah, just to reiterate what J-Ice already said... don't rename the img, just flash through fastboot.

I can confirm this is not working for at least one other person on the latest firmware update via twitter messaging...I've tried GUI, fastboot, flash_image, all same results.

Question about CWM vs TWRP

I am real new to the KindleFire community but so far loving my Kfire. I see in slot of posts they say to use TWRP to install or update a ROM. Since I have CWM installed can I use it instead are they interchangeable for installing files?
Hope that make sense.
Thanks
Rod

most people are taking about twrp because it was the first recovery for the kf
cwm is quite new for the kf
you can use both to install roms ...

Cwm is able to be updated by current developers. Twrp looks cool, but just needs to be updated. If someone updates the reboot wrappers it'd be a winner. But I do like and prefer cwm

Is there or link or how-to to swtich from TWRP to CWM? Does CWM have all the features as TWRP? I have been using TWRP since I rooted the KF, have used it to back up, flash new roms to try out, flash back to my backup. CWM does all this, just dosn't have the nice CWM interface?

The easiest way is to use THIS method, just be sure to unzip the file on your Kindle rather than on a computer or it may not work correctly. The only difference I've noticed between CWM and TWRP is that CWM does not compress the backup so the file is a lot bigger, my backups used to be in the low 500mb range and now they are in the low 800's.

Any particular reason to migrate to CWM? I have TWRP from the first day ant it doing a job very well. So, did CWM have any new features?

Development should be the main reason imo I think the interface looks way better. I got annoyed by the flickering backlight with twrp. It does all the same things, but cwm looks better. Plus before I switched, twrp wouldn't flash roms or gapps all the time, it would get stuck and I would have to reboot

For me there was not a reason to use TWRP as I have been using CWM for the last several years on smartphones and was more comfortable with it. I also read several articles where people had issues with TWRP so with as much problems as I was having trying to root my kindle because of USB driver I wanted to stick with something I know. So I thought it best to stick with and old friend I was used too. Not saying one is better than the other I just like CWM better for me and think it gives me more options to perform operations on my phone and kindle.

[VIDEO] Idiot's Guide - How to Install CM10 on the HP Touchpad

This is my FINAL VERSION of my Idiots Guide for the HP Touchpad. Now that a stable enough version of CM10 is available, I finally created a guide for you.
Here are links to the files you will need:
CM10 03/04/2012 Build
GAPPS 10/11/2012
ACMEInstaller3
Moboot 3.8
Anything else that you might need, you'll find on http://www.reverendkyle.com

Thanks for the video. It came just in time as I just purchased a used TP that had an older version of android ICS already on it and I wanted to upgrade but seeing as how this is the first device I have sort of inherited already rooted, it is hard to just jump in and know everything that I would have learned from the beginning like i did with my previous phones.
Anyways, I did everything you said except I used the newest AOKP rom. But my tp is still booting to the older version of android that I had on it. Any ideas? Feel free to pm me if you prefer that.

If the AOKP ROM is using a unique uImage file, then you may see two different entries on your moboot screen for two different Android builds.
What does your moboot menu have in it?

Maybe your install failed. Try downloading and flashing it again. If you're trying AOKP JB, you should wipe both /data and dalvik cache to avoid a boot loop!
If using AcmeInstaller3 remember to rename the ROM with ”update-” at the beginning so that it looks like update-AOKPJB_UnOfficial.zip

I believe it was the "update-" thing that was keeping it from updating. I followed another video tutorial which provided files that had the "update" in front of them and it worked.
I haven't tried yet but now that it worked will the regular method of wiping and flashing through recovery work? (Like, if I want to try out different JB Roms) Are there any files that need to be in a particular place for the recovery method to work? I tried that method first and it would never take, would always revert back to the original version. Don't know if, because I just jumped in and haven't been here from the beginning, I am just missing a necessary step that is hardly even talked about anymore.

Love your work Rev! Thank you again for everything that you do!
Update went like clockwork, unfortunately I can't seem to get the camera to work (not a terrible loss, but I was sorta excited to see it actually working with this release).

I can attest to the improved battery life on this cm10 build. Amazingly, it holds battery life when it's sleeping now.

Thank you so much for taking the time in making the video for us. Your instructions are easy to follow, hard for anyone to mess up.
(The hosting site for the files is not working, not sure if you were aware)

Hi, I have CM9 running on my TP. With the latest release, the camera works great. But before updating it to CM10, I'd like to know about the issues currently in this build.
Thanks.

Don't go for external mirrors unless some recognized developer suggests them. Best will be to wait for goo.im to come up again, being a prime site, it won't be down for long.

The goo servers do appear to go down on occasion. They always come back up a bit later.

Problem with installing GAPPS using ACMEInstaller3
Excellent tutorial for an idiot like me. Thanks for again for the guide! Question:
I followed the instructions step by step and was able to get CM10 installed successfully. However, I wasn't able to get GAPPS installed using this method. From researching I understand sometimes there is a problem installing GAPPS through ACMEInstaller3 and one can simply get GAPPS installed through CWM Recovery. However, I would like to use/have TWRP instead so is there a way to get GAPPS installed properly through ACMEInstaller3 and then I can install TWRP through GooManager?
Alternatively, is there a way to install GAPPS without using CWM Recovery?
Or, I guess I can install CWM Recovery first, then install TWRP Recovery, then remove CWM Recovery while keeping TWRP and not go back to the stock Recovery? I tried to search the forums and wasn't able to find instructions on removing CWM Recovery WHILE still keeping CM10 and not go back to the Stock recovery.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

@reverendkjr - appreciate your videos. they're awesome. definitely helped me (and several other friends) many times and saved a ton of time. super easy to follow.

Yes you can install TWRP normally, flash gapps in CWM then install goomanager app, open and click the 3 dot menu and install custom recovery script then it will install it
Now using a root file manager go to the directory called boot and delete uimage.cwm.img (this is from memory but still should be correct
