There's people who are new to CM7 (like me), and then there's people who are new seem to be new to reading, forums, and computers in general.

I guess the problem is the way CM7 on SGS has been talked about on blogs etc lately, as if it's a finished stable product. I guess the 10 post limit can't force people to lurk long enough... :rolleyes:

No,no!!

There is no need to be Root!!

I did it:

1. You are on Froyo_v2.2.1 (XXJPU)

2. Flash SpeedMod Kernel_K13C using Odin:

Put the tar file into PDA field. NO tick Re-Partition and NO Pit. "Auto-Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" checked.

3. Click "Start" and flash this kernel.

4. Your phone will reboot.

5. After reboot turn off your phone and wait 1 min.

6. Unplug the cable from PC and close Odin.

7. Go to recovery mode using "Vol. up"+"Home"+"Power".

8. Install "galaxys-efsbackup.zip":

select "install zip from sd card" then "choose zip from sd card" and select this "galaxys-efsbackup.zip"

9. you are on the main menu. DO NOT select "reboot system now"!

10.Turn off your phone by removal the battery.

11.Insert the battery again.

12.go to download mode using "Vol. down"+"Home"+"Power".

13.Open Odin and put the "cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar" into PDA field.

unticked: Auto-Reboot and Re-Partition.

ticked:F. Reset Time.

14.Flash it.

15.After Odin says "Pass", unplug the cable from PC and turn off your phone by removal the battery.

16.Insert the battery again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
This is an antiqauted/deprecated method. There is no galaxys-efsbackup.zip, initial.zip etc. Please pay attention.

All you need to do is to get on XXJPU (for isntance via Odin), make sure you have a CWM-capable kernel (like Speedmod, via Odin) and then flash the latest nightly full.zip (+ gapps) in CWM.

To kill off all confusion: The update is also the full installer. They are both in one. Amazing.

Now. Can we please keep this sort of thing to the Q&A thread?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I agree that sending people to q and a makes sense, but I think now most of the user discussion and chatter is here so most people gravitate to the dev thread. Q and A tends to be far more focused which is both good and bad.

At this point I think we have a good balance. Codeworkx and atinm read the thread but only post when they feel the need, and coolya even more so. This way they leave the noob questions for we of the sgsteam irregulars to answer and ensure that when they DO feel like posting they can provide really important info without getting too frustrated with us.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Again I agree....most people want a phone that is uber-reliable. They know it will get and make calls, check the odd email, or play some angry birds 120% of the time...and that is how it should be. They want to set it up once, quick and idiot proof, then forget about it. They need it to be predictable, and any update to be automatic and harmless.

CM7 is not and never will be that..and I thank God for that, my brothers. It is NOT for mainstream users. We have all seen plenty of supposedly hard core, experienced android users come in here, get flustered and frustrated, then make up some excuse for returning to the safe harbour of Samsung ROMs. If that happens to THEM, think how your grandmother would handle cm7 ...and yes most mainstram users have the same needs from their android phone as your gran...bless her heart.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funnnny:
I didn't on stock kernel for a long time now, is the stock kernel come with OC/UV (last time I used it didn't).

Sorry, to lazy to reboot and reflash, I always flash platypus first time I use.

Some question out of curious, is UV help much with battery life (okay I'm not complaining about battery life), I found out that the phone is a little unstable with UV and have to limit it to -25, so I think the benefit is small ?

Maybe I'll have some test when #15 come out and I had time.

Tw3 or 4 requires a Samsung ROM. They will not run on cm7, not now, not ever. Ask as often as you want the answer wont change. Reading the troubleshooting post would have answered that and saved both you and us several minutes we will never be able to get back. If when I die I could have used those minutes I will have my descendants sue you.

As for tw4 you have two options...fake it with a theme or reflash a Samsung ROM. You COULD draw a tw4 desktop on your screen with magic marker bit I wouldn't advise it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sambwel:
here's a question for the devs which i hope will break the noob vs get off my lawn cycle :p

i have been playing with other custom kernels on the latest nightlies because i'm interested in squeezing a little more performance out of my phone (i9000). turns out i'm unlucky enough to have one of those phones with a sensitive cpu that doesn't like to be OC'ed too much. fair enough! but, it turns out my phone is much more stable with all of the extra tweaks that were possible in custom kernels before the RIL change from nightly #12 onwards.

i also have been led to believe that the samsung RIL now being used is designed to deal with instabilities which are also fixed by using JVO modem. indeed, i find #11 + JVO modem is fine for me, and i can even OC slightly higher thanks to the substantially different kernel possible with the old (google stock) RIL.

sorry if that's tl;dr... my question is:

* is the plan at the moment for CM7 to stick purely with the newer (samsung) RIL from now on?

if so, i understand, because i don't expect the CM7 devs to accommodate custom kernels at the expense of stability for mainstream users. however, i then wonder it would technically be possible for someone to fork CM7 to create a version with the old stock RIL? how difficult would this be, and is anyone interested in such a project?

i will round off a long post by saying a huge THANK YOU to the CM7 devs for all the hard work, and you can be sure of a donation from me in the next week (when i get paid!) because no matter what happens, you have given my phone a new lease on life :)

Hey, that's not fair. In the few hours of not reading due to sleeping, so many topics have been raised and dealt with in a sufficiently sarcastic way... slow down people :-D

BTW, my battery has been allowed to stabilize over the past few days and it seems to be giving sufficient battery life for me.

Networks disconnecting when screen is locked us a little annoying but I learn to live with it as it saves batrery and also I can use that quiet time to study undisturbed by my many notifications.

(אני לומד עברית. גם אני אוהב את השפה הזאת!)

Oh, the Hebrew rendering in gtalk. It sometimes leaves unknown characters under the name of the sender. Its like several Asian characters on top of each other behind the sender name (whether or not the sender is me or whoever I chat with). Anyone else notice thus in the language you use?

Edit: just to point out that cm7 is easier to install than any other galaxy rom at the moment. With this well known fact, and the fact that the install is so well documented, what does this say about society? I am a mean old man (yes 27 isn't old) but u think it means that people will still fail exams even when the answers are written on the exam paper...

Yeah, even though I had a ton of problems with my very first CM7 install (had to get around recovery 3.0 signing issue; phone would not flash w/heimdall and no access to windows to run odin) I eventually found the answer on these forums by searching and reading a lot. Since I first got CWM running properly all the basic setup has been easy... but I guess I read the exam paper properly :P

Technically its not impossible for all the apps to be converted so they don't need Samsung firmware. Nobody working on cm will ever ever do this. Afterall, what's the point in avoiding Samsung software if you are going to use it. :-)

A lot of people saying they have bad battery life need to realize they they keep flashing nightly and battery takes some time to stabilize. Now I've been on this build for I think three or four days now and I can say that this basically the same thing as samsung rom. So instead of flashing everyday flash weekly so you don't have to complain.
