I may go back to Samsung ROM if user data cannot be restored....

I'm using the latest TB.. Only change I made from defaults is to change app processing mode to Indirect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rickylcp:
^^ just as an example.

I have over 300 user apps installed in my SGS and I don't want to re-configure all apps settings 1 by 1.

And some apps data, like game data, is not re-configurable. It consumes time to get those back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beaver2233:
Just one question regarding the new 'rom manager' download....im on jvh (Sammy firmware), but when I go to download roms in rom manager there is no option for cm7 (teamhacksung). Is this because im on 2.3.3 and cm7 is incompatible so rom manager doesn't show it? Or ....? (Yes I know cm7 is froyo/bootloader, just wondering why rom manager doesn't show it in download roms).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I would venture to say that it is because ROM Manager is a good parent, protecting you from yourself and not displaying the downloads you shouldn't be loading. Now if it would only blackout all those late night fast food ads.

As for me, Teamhacksung appeared right there on the list, big and bright, taking its rightful place as the new SGSLords of ROM Manager and a source of pride for geeks the world over.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
No idea what it looks like from stock, but this is how it looks like if you are already on CM7:

Edit: from twitter:

"atinm: I have removed our updates from ROMManager until we have tested it ourselves first a little better :)"

I might venture back to cm7 shortly ;)

hi i have currently 20110503 gapps is 20110307 went out after 20110503?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] massus:
Real quick question: I'm on Juwe's rom 4.3 right now.. It seems pretty stable and nice, but i've been hearing about CM ever since I got an android phone. Been thinking of making the switch but it's quite the long procedure of flashing BACK to froyo and going from there with all the wiping and whatnot...

So my question is: How buggy is this in comparison to Juwe's or Darky's or any of the other roms? Is it really as 'unusable' as they developer is claiming or is that just kind of a general warning?

Sincerely,

Excited but scared :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
20110503 was withdrawn for unspecified reasons, so 20110307 is latest supported for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
For me, CM7 has been the smoothest, most stable ROM I have used...not to mention the most FUN by a long shot.

Sure, it certainly helps to know what you are doing when you install CM7 but I would say that the statements from the CM7 devs that this ROM is experimental are just to make sure that new users are serious about things and understand that this is still a beta and changing rapidly.

As for other devs or their fanbois saying that CM7 is unstable, or harping over supposedly "catastrophic" battery life problems? That's just fear of a CyanogenMod planet.

Great ROM, intelligent open source philosophy, pure Android, fantastic devs and a massive, cross-device community behind you. What's not to love?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Those firmwares are stock Samsung-firmwares, running stock Samsung-compiled software with some slight theming and some minor framework modifications and a custom kernel. Cyanogenmod is Android built from source.

If one of those hacked stock firmwares are unstable, it's either because Samsung messed something up or the firmware author didn't test his modifications properly. If Cyanogenmod is "unstable" it's because they are actually compiling the whole package, including hardware support, from scratch.

Needless to say, these are two different ballparks.

Anyway. I would say that Cyanogenmod (for the SGS) has a few minor bugs which I know I can live with (like no seamless/automated 2G/3G data-toggling for now, no FM-radio) while the Samsung-based firmwares has some major bugs I cannot live with (like TouchWiz). :p

While wiping all your stuff sounds a bit dull (I do agree on this part), we all have to do it at least a few times in our Android-career, and I would say this firmware is worth it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kikko2000:
I was too but I tryed it and I don't even think going back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wuqqs:
I went from juwe the other day and I don't find it buggy. No more than the already known bugs. The one I've come across was that the camera was black, but locking unlocking the phone solved that.

And the procedure isn't that bad. Get Froyo with ie EZbase and then flash cm7 according to the guide.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beaver2233:
It's not really a 'long' procedure to flash back to froyo, easy and simple with EZBase (obviously longer than other roms but not anything to complain about).

IMO CM7 is as stable as it needs to be, you won't be disappointed , definitely in terms of speed. You must try it for yourself and see (like everything) :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
rofl! +10,000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stephencwl:
Me tool. Never look back after switching to CM7.

All previously used stock roms and custom roms can't match the smoothless and fun with CM7 pure android experience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mystombox:
JPY modem has allowed me to get HSPA logo and speeds.

It also has a better wifi connection than JPO.

Only made 1 call, voice quality seems good.

Texting seems okay, no 'unable to send' as yet.

I flashed in CWM using the zip file at sourceforge at the beginning of this tread.

Hope this info helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stephencwl:
My little experience with CM7 on Galaxy S

After installing CM7, restoring apps and data from Titanium backup (from froyo) went smooth and OK.

However, some apps restored will have FC problems. Some may be scared away and revert to stock roms but in fact uninstalling and re-installing from the Market or backup APKs will solve all these FCs. I never have any FCs now.

CM7 still has some little things not sorted out yet but the overall pure and fast Android experience is really comparable to what HTC sense offers on any HTC Android phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Yes yes. It was intended to be slightly funny, but it's also true. I cannot go back to TouchWiz-based firmwares no matter how many AOSP-features the authors have hacked back in on top of TouchWiz. It's really still TouchWiz with just some slight eye-candy to cover it up.

It just doesn't look or feel right.

And I guess this is getting slightly off-topic :P

CyanogenMod 7 - The OTHER White Meat
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
20110503 works "ok" with SGS series although with some bugs in gtalk (video). For example I can receive gtalk video calls but I cannot make them. It was pulled because it works only with certain phones.

Here's a copy-paste explanation:

So what's up with the 2.3.4 GApps?

**(Please note, YMMV with all of the following information. Nandroid is your friend!)**

This is a tricky one. The problem here is that Google, unlike what they've done for every previous

update to the G1, Nexus One, Nexus S, etc., decided to compile the Talk2.apk and libtalk_jni.so to

be compatible only with the neon board, and ARM v7 (aka, the Nexus S), rather than every board, the

actual Gingerbread API's, and ARM v6 and Tegra as well. So here's where this leaves us:

20110307: Technically works just fine on 2.3.4, just as it did on 2.3.3. Just doesn't have the Market

updates already in it (you'll get the updates as soon as you launch the Market for the first/second/third

time or so), nor does it have the new Google Talk. Because of this, it's still used in ROM Manager for

AOSP ROMs such as CyanogenMod, listed as Recommended in the Google Apps listing, and is given

at the latest/7/universal page, and the above table.

20110503: This is made directly from the 2.3.4 Nexus S OTA. The new Google Talk is included, but

is not recommended for Android 2.3.3 (CyanogenMod 7.0.x), and on most devices four main bugs are present:

Google Talk FC's when switching cameras.

Contacts do not see your video, but you see theirs, and you see your own preview.

Contacts do not see the ability to start a voice/video chat with you, and get an error instead.

Incompatible with ARMv6 or Tegra devices.

What video player does each of you uses to play mkv, avi or rmvb format? I tried rockplayer but giving me blank screen on the latest build.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
Have a look at this app permissions.

I'd stay away from apps requiring permissions to my accounts for no reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mystifiyer:
Was on JVK previously and tried JPY as suggested.

It doesn't seem to work too well on my end. 3G all the time unless I lock and unlock it then it shows H. Even so, it goes back to 3G after like a minute or so.

H will not trigger again no matter what until I unlock/unlock again. Strange thing is that it remained at H even when traffic is idle (its supposed to drop back to 3G when idle) Did a speedtest with both 3G and H. No major speed difference.

2G is disabled at all times.

Will try again later at home.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Caution is always wise, but I have used MoboPlayer on several different devices, never had any problem with it. It is definitely one of the best video options for the SGS or any Android device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mystombox:
There are minor things in touchwiz that I miss.

E.g contact list scrolling via letters and swipe left to msg, swipe right to call.

Those minor things, but stuff I can live with.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
Combination of internet connection and accounts permissions can be easily be a time bomb just waiting to explode.

With the latest breaches on PSN and LastPass showing us no one is immune, It's better be safe than sorry.

But hey, it's just my 2 cents ;)

Wipe dalvik-cache & cache does not solve the problem.

So now I tried gtalk with PC, and video is fine. But in Tango it is still 90 degrees rotated. Really no help for this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arkymedes:
Yeah, but at least for me, there is no CM7 to choose there, no Team Hacksung, nothing.

Bought 2 copies of ROM Manager (me and wife) and there is nothing in the "Premium" section, just DarkyROM (works) and Insanity (that doesn't work...)

Both phones were flashed with EZBase v2 (Froyo), bootloaders and everything..

I wonder if I did something wrong :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J_Force:
Really enjoying the cm7. Still missing one thing. Hope someone can help. There is no dutch library for the keyboard. Can I get it somewhere? Would make my phone even better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Maybe lean to the left?

It does seem to be a problem connected with the front facing camera and third party apps. When I use the front facing cam with Vignette it rotates me 90 degrees, but the Camera app doesn't. Very odd?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] funkateer2:

I'm also having problems with the 15/05 update - gmail and market both FC and calendar asks me to enter details for an Exchange account.. And worse, going back to 11/05 doesn't fix them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
clean caches and if that doesn't fix it flash an old gapps version ( changing the nightly will do nothing)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J_Force:
That is a different keyboard. The keyboard is fine. Just missing the dutch language file...

Anybody knows where to get it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Also try going into settings > applications > manage applications and clear data for both gmail and the market. You can also select uninstall updates, which tends to work wonders.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Just download and install Gingerbread keyboard from Android market. It's the same, but a different package (which isn't tied to the base OS). Downloading dictionaries to this keyboard works, unlike for the built in CM7 Gingerbread keyboard.

I had the same issue with Norwegian support, and the only thing "missing" by going this route is that you miss the theme-colours from CM7. I can live with that.

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to say thanks. This rom is awesome! My battery life is excellent and speed is outstanding.

For what its worth I think the dev's are right in giving **** to the noobs. This was my first time installing CM and after reading the first post, reading through the FAQ and watching a YouTube video I found it very easy to install and had no problems.

Thanks again. You guys rock

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
13th on the list...not bad at all for a beta.

I also think that the increase in people downloading the INITIAL is due to the installation being simplified so much and the word getting out that most major bugs are closed. I know the previous complex installation process was the thing that kept me from making the jump to CM7 long ago.

GO SGSTEAM, GO!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:

Thanks for the info. I got some memos written and backed up in Titanium, so I thought I restore them back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Thank you everyone for all the good advice and information about CM7 kernels. Considering how quickly things are developing now, I see that it is likely best to take a conservative, "wait and see" approach and be extra careful about version matching between kernels and dailies.

I have another question which I imagine is a typical newcomer's query. For some reason my phone is now silent when I press icons to open applications, or turn the screen on or off. I hear rings, game sounds and dialing tones, but no other key presses. I don't think it was like this earlier today right after I flashed to CM7, but to be honest I was too focused on being impressed with the ROM and relieved that I didn't brick anything to notice. I have the VooDoo Pro app and the sound module loaded. Am I missing a setting somewhere or have I stupidly stumbled over an actual bug?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aquenne:
experiencing the cyanogen "boot loop", just flashed 05042011

In reading back a few pages, some ppl are suggesting wipe cache and dalvik cache, as well i formatted /cache, and still no go.

Any other suggestions? Id rather not have to wipe the entire phone if possible!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bess833:
Menu - Settings - Sound - Audible selection / Screen lock sounds / Audible touch tones. Are they on?

Try to mount and umount /data. Someone wrote earlier that this helped apart from the cache and dalvik cache wipe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aquenne:
oddly enough its working now.

I believe i was just going to reboot within the recovery, but once i actually pulled the battery and restarted it loading cm7 fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Stefanauss:
Thank you for your work!

I tested it through a continuos themes switch and it worked most of the times. Sometimes the dropdown bar takes a lot to reappear, like minutes.

Please let me know how your upstream submission goes. Any link to the patch you can provide? I'd like to follow the issue if the review happens in the open.

Maybe you could improve this by checking if the process has been actually restarted, and keeping the "Applying" toast notification on while it still hasn't. But it's just a suggestion off the top of my head, i don't even know if that's possible at all and with my very little knowledge maybe i read that the only check you do is if it's the process is running in the first place. Is that right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lolmann:
i just flashed cm7 and i was on miui before. i formated cache and system, flashed the last internal update and then the new nightly.

On battery life, mine dropped 1% in 1.5hrs in the latest build. Normally, 2%/hr in idle is what I expected just after flashing, and after a few days of use.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Yes, but a ROM's being based on CM7 doesn't make us experts on how to get into CM7 from X Y or Z ROM and MIUI is no exception in that sense. We ask you to wipe stuff for precisely that reason.
