Hopefully someone's still up, I ran into a snag. I was following the guide at this link, and got to the step where I flash the CM7 kernel and go to recovery to wipe system, data, etc (step 6). So, I boot into recovery, and select mounts and storage, and all I get is the top hat on the gear graphic. I've tried waiting about 10 mins, reflashing kernel, and no difference. So, somewhere I goofed. Any suggestions?

EDIT:

Wow, I'm a complete moron. I assumed (that was my problem, right there) that this CWM functioned using the home or back key like the others do. Nope, it's the power key. Sorry to waste your time folks (honest-I'm usually not that noobish!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -jacky2k-:
In the latest nightly ffc rotation is correct but its stretched vertically...

Anyone with same issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bhonka:
Devs have already said the aspect ratio is still not right. Photos and video still come out fine as far as I know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
**** happens :)

At least you posted this early in the day before it generated lots of noise and that reminded me to add it to the front-page post ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bhonka:
If wiping cache/davlik and hard resets don't help then yes, restore a working backup and try flashing again.

To be safe make backups before flashing new nightlys/releases.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funnnny:
I ran into this problem too, just because you pressed back or home key at the root page.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joeyoong:
if i wanna to revert back to sammy rom.... is it i direct use odin flash samsung firmware to the phone?

do i need do additional step? of cause i will do backup 1st.

Gmail from gapps-gb-20010503 force close.

I had to uninstall it and reinstall Gmail from market, then it works properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
If you want to revert back to Samsung room, just flash the Samsung ROM as usual with the 512-pit file and repartition checked in Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] terranq:
OK, here's another question. How do I get additional themes in theme chooser? For example, the guide I followed shows a honeycomb theme. I only have four: androidify, cyanbread, galaxys, and system
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Check the themes forum here on XDA or search for "CM7 themes" on Android market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] terranq:
Ok, so once I install additional themes from those two sources, they're available in theme chooser? I assumed (again, it seems to be a habit), that the theme chooser let you browse numerous additional themes. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Once installed they will be available in the themes chooser yes. You may need to reboot to fully apply the theme.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] digitalcoder:
Yes, they will be in theme chooser. Just reboot after you apply a theme
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avary:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] craigdabbs:
How is the ril polling problem now? I am trying out the MiUI rom atm but constantly turning phone on and off is a bit frustrating to update the signal info. Im using jpy baseband atm but not sure if flashing a different radio will much difference. Im new to galaxy s so have no experience with this phone.

If anyone could post what radio version they are running for a uk based provider that would be great.

thanks

Craig
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
No change that we did. The problem is that Samsung has closed source for this sort of fundamental part of the phone and so we're left to just hope for the best.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alysiper:
Hello guys,

i want to know if it is normal for the phone to boot up automatically when i plug the USB cable to charge it, if the phone is switched off.

TKS alot.

CM7 is a new generation rom, and the BEST rom i ever used! My phone is on RED BULL rom :).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Yes, it is normal....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asad510:
hi guys i flashed the nightlys and i flashed it like 10 times now and i still cant see anything on my external sd ?????????? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jsen:
Did you check in /emmc or /mnt/emmc ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avishayil:
me too.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prembox:
Phone booting up on charge mode is presumably a Nesus S feature.....

And yes....your phone is on Red Bull once it's on CM7....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bess833:
Did you update from previous nightly or were you on Samsung rom before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asad510:
EMC ?? i go on file manager and i go into the external sd and it only comes with dcim but when i switch roms it can be seen
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bess833:
In file manager, click the home icon and then find emmc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
look under emmc. /mnt/emmc. Other ROMs use a different place that they mount external storage on. If you don't understand what ppl are telling you, stick with the other ROMs.

And none of those devs work on CM7, just so you know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asad510:
sorry im gonnna add cm7 devs :) and i checked both folders but there empty ? :(

I went with the flow as people were putting GB bootloaders on, guess I managed to flash vibrant BL.

When i got my galaxy I immediately installed cyanogen mod on it, so I didint experience touchwiz at all, I thought i go back to closest settings I was when i got the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
You need to build from source to have that (merging relevant changes), or wait for it to be merged "officially" in the nightlies. I have it working. If you want, i guess i could upload my build somewhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kaik541:
the CM team has asked several times for users not to post KANG builds as it makes it impossible to track where the bugs come from (especially on unmerged code).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sathkartha:
the screen goes off and the phone gets into deep slumber..

Twice after flashing nightly #80 this evening and both the times during charging off the mains,and within a space of some 20 minutes,I have found my phone going blank and all dark and would get back to life only via the three-button recovery mode!And my phone had more than 80% of battery both the times.

I wonder if this is unique to me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
So no problems on stock JVR

Flashed back to nightly 80

Did a nandroid resore.

Look at the picture of my empty sd card(emmc)

I see, I was only trying to be helpful. I wouldn't post it here anyways, instead doing it by pm.

Can u add RIL(2g-3g) widget problem and also worse battery life than stock rom and i guess browser on stock rom is hardware accelerated (JVQ one is super smooth)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Red_Vex:
I add 2g/3g ril but not battery life and browser
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
I removed this again, 2G/3G widget not working is a CM7 specific bug and not something that is missing compared to Samsung ROMs!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
Do you really care about 2g3g widget?...also battery is pretty good for me, with silk clothes i get 1 day and something hours(today got 1d10h) ,and the browser ix the fastest i have ever seen...i switched to jvq a couple of weeks ago to see what is all the fuss about...right after that needed to check something on the internet...i got so mad of the slowness i banged my phone on the ground...[a couple of scraches on the chrome side...good thing i had a protective condom on the screen :)...]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J_Force:
I have the following issue once again. Had this on nightly 53 and have it now. I can't connect to the bluetooth of my car. On nightly 53 I solved it by installing the glitch kernel. Now I installed jvr stock followed by nightly 80 and jvr modem. When trying to connect I get the message there is a problem connecting. Since glitch kernel doesn't support gingerbread bootloaders I can't go there.

I start to think that if glitch solved it in his v11 kernel somehow it can be fixed in cm7. Or should I go to try some other custom kernel?

Some help PLEASE :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] latino147:
Now that's a coincidence, I'm having that problem since I started playing around with CM7!

I was away from the forum for a while (I have a real job now where they actually expect me to work! :() and my best friend died, so I'm behind like two generations in a few weeks....

So I just updated from #40+ to the latest build and wanted to install glitch V11 to see if it magically had fixed my problems with BT, but I if understand it allright judging from your words and Rschenks post a few pages back Glitch V11 isn't compatible with the last builds?

Anyone else any solution to BT carkit problems with CM7? I have to find a solution quickly or return to a Samsung mod, I NEED the carkit :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Red_Vex:
3 hours of display
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
first, there is nothing wrong with bt at cm7, there actually were some changes that eventually require you to re-pair your devices, and if your car system has too many pairings this could lead to problems, so try resetting that.

glitch kernel has no differences regarding blutetooth to cm7 kernel. also it is not correct that it does not support latest builds. it just does not support external sd on gingerbread bootloaders which many of us use nowadays due to some changes in latest kernel builds that allow sd-ext on them and expectations of better battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] terpsych:
No external gps (BT) support.

terpsych
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
And you can achieve this on Samsung ROMs??? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] latino147:
Thanks for you clear answer! :)

I tried resetting the carkit but to no avail...

I am running glitch 11 now :)

Final test tomorrow, if it works, I'm happy, if not...I'll have to go back to a SS rom :'(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhainman:
Does anyone have any idea how to fix the carrier name showing up as a number? It looks like it mysteriously is afflicting only Bell users, where the "Bell" name is replaced with 302610. A separate thread with a suggested fix apparently works for MIUI, but not CM7 (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16460122). I'm not a programmer, but maybe someone knows what's going on and how to fix it in CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] terpsych:
Yes, I can. I`ve been using Holux external GPS connected via BT

terpsych
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
Then use a market app that supplies this functionality! I used it and it works quite well. And I am pretty sure that it doesn't work with all BT GPS mice on Samsung ROMs either!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] papazche:
I was woundering what can happend when flashing CyanogenMod builds. I mean what wrong can happend with the samsung phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
*facepalm*
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
Pretty much nothing. Unless you play with bootloaders. Otherwise the Galaxy S is pretty much unbrickable...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tb5...:
always wondered about that too... thought it just was what it was... :\
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J_Force:
Same answer as before but not true if you ask me ;). Since re-pairing leads to the error message and my car is not out if connections there must be something glitch kernel provides that stock cm kernel doesn't. Also the external sd card argument is why I can't install glitch v11. Maybe some other options?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] evok87:
is there a list of known isssues/bugs available?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Ahh....gotcha !

I found JVQ and Tegraks kernel to be the fastest and most efficient with over 2 days battery life if its any good to you try it out.

Cm7 for me is probably just as fast but I'm loving the extra settings and features in cm7 right now :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
That page needs to have call recording added to the list of missing features.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] techmik67:
for the 800,000 time, it is *illegal* in many places......
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xt700:

Anyone having any issues with brightness? Seems to not get very bright using auto
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
...and will not be supported by cm devs. thanks for reading. move along, nothing to see here..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
Which is still no reason not to include the feature, for the 800,001st time. After all, we could just as easily plug in a cable to the headset socket and record the whole thing on any recording device.

But that argument is all irrelevant, because that wiki page is supposed to list features which are available on samsung roms and not on cm7, and call recording is one of them, so it should be on the page - regardless of whether it's legal, illegal, supported, not supported, or riding the back of rschenk's pony.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
I have noticed a harmless but abnormal behaviour in recent builds...

When the phone boots up, I see the splash screen, as usual. When the phone boots up, the screen goes blank. Normally, I would see the unlock screen at this point.

Pressing the softkeys causes them to light up for a moment, but otherwise there is no response. The home key does nothing.

Pressing the power button appears to do nothing... however, if I press it twice in close succession, I get the unlock screen.

It's as though I am presented with a blank screen, which the phone *thinks* is my launcher, and in order to bring the screen to life, I have to lock and then unlock my phone.

See this with both CM7 stock, and fugumod kernels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] auralzx:
give it time to boot -.-
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
even if illegal, i have yet to see a gb rom with call recording. i don't use samsung roms for too long though. android does not support call recording, samsung does, am i right? or did.

edit: i could be wrong. if i am, i stand corrected.

edit2: and i quote: "The following features which can usually be found in ROMs running on SGS hardware are not currently available using CyanogenMod 7 on the i9000" - it doesn't say specifically "found on samsung roms".
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
Sounds about right... Still, no reason to leave this missing feature from that page, as far as I can see.

I wish this conversation would go away. It makes me want to implement call recording, and I don't have time. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
you started it :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Why not add it to the wiki and make clear there that it will never be implemented by the cm devs and why. This would end the discussion also, and questions regarding call recording can be directed to the wiki.

Indeed ... bright is to small with auto ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lakshay Sethi:
Yeah,it is low with the auto brightness on,but when i test the light sensor it shows me different values and doesn't get stuck at one point/value so i dont think its a problem with the sensor,maybe something rom releated. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aoprea:
yes .. sensor is good ... I think that is the values ​​generated by improper settings of the light sensor:

example :

100 sensor --> 100 bright --> should be 150 bright

200 sensor --> 200 bright --> should be 300 bright

500 sensor --> 1000 bright --> should be 1500 bright
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dcarr622:
You guys realize that this is CyanogenMod and not some other bastardized sh!t ROM right? Therefore, unless call recording is added to CM, which will never happen, even if hell flies and pigs freeze over, CM7 for SGS will never get call recording (and why you want it is a whole other topic I don't want to discuss). So lets be done with this :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
Exactly. Nobody here is suggesting it should be added to CM7, just the wiki. That's all.

You guys need to calm down and get off your high-horses. Or ponies or whatevs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The Missing page is part of the wiki, so any user can edit it. I am away from my desk today, otherwise I would have done it already.

The Missing page is designed to give a quick, "authoritative" way to answer questions about cm7 feature gaps, so sure, someone add call recording, just make clear it will not be added by cm7 devs and they would not approve any commit concerning it.

The wiki is designed to give info, not to grind axes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
Giving it time did not work. I managed to pin this down to the JVR modem, which I've also found to be generally unstable with internet connections, as I posted earlier... Flashing JVQ it all works fine, flashing JVR again it does this weird screen-off business.

Perhaps it was a corrupted download....? I haven't seen any other JVR modem users reporting this behaviour... But I also haven't seen modem downloads with MD5 sums ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J_Force:
So there is still this. Now I am no dev but I was hoping someone with devskills can point the difference between the cm7 stock kernel and glitch 11 kernel concerning bluetooth. Because I can live with not having the bln but bluetooth connection to my car is really important to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Uss_Defiant:
Hmm, my values are only getting 10 and 160 for brightness, can someone double check?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jetpackjeff:
There is no difference. Its already been explained a few pages back. Learn to read.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J_Force:
please be friendly :confused:. Don't tell me to read. I've been reading this topic every day for the last 6 months or so.

What was posted is not explaining the issue I experienced. So therefore I repeated the issue. And if you read properly I am not the only one with this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
No difference mate. Was explained already.

If you rely on BT that badly, flash back to stock.

Sent from another GALAXY
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
LOL, noone is friendly here ;)

If glitch fixes it for you, then maybe go to glitch until it is figured out why this issue effects some people on stock cm7? I know you're on GB bootloaders, but you could always flash back to froyo and use glitch there...

Or maybe try fugumod kernel, it will work with either froyo or gingerbread bootloaders, and has BLN (I know it is not a 'must' for you, but you'd like it), and just maybe, it will work with your car kit like glitch does?

I would definitely look up your car kit manual and be sure you have removed all pairings from that device, and also do a full samsung stock flash with repartition and format/wipe everything, before reflashing cm7. I seem to have to do that every couple of months, to keep things running smooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Bluetooth can be notoriously futsy. I know in recent nightlies there were a lot of commits tinkering with Bluetooth so keep an eye on upcoming changes, perhaps more are coming.

Have you tried any third party apps that manage Bluetooth connections?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J_Force:
will try to contact glitch. but can't ask for ETA on v12 since the base rule of cm is... ;)

car kit has been studied before. that is not the issue. there are 5 pairings available and it will auto-delete the oldest one if a new one is trying to pair.

I did the full format/wipe everything that was on my device. Installed JVR with repartition and all. So that is done.

Did not try that since I don't know any good third party apps for that. Looked for it but did not find anything to looked like a possible sollution. Any suggestion on this one?
