Sorry to be a parasitic pest, but would just like to know how the latest build is looking for some people. I'm on the 09 build and I'm pretty happy with it for now, no major issues. I also flashed JVK modem a few days ago from JVO, and so far no dumps.

Also, in regards to the recommended video player earlier, I use Moboplayer and love it a lot, and it'll pretty much play anything you want (mkv, rmvb, divx...)

The changes are just to support ROMManager correctly.

awesome, upgraded from froyo to cm7 in one step with rommanager.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
great news :) more questions to answer now. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Exactly....easier install, more new users, more big numbers for the Council of CyanogenMod Sages and Samsung, more prestige, support and contributions for sgsteam and Teamhacksung, better software for all of us....just a big suitcase full of win.

Love cm and can't use my phone without it ;) in the future i will only buy phones which are supported by cyanogenmod ;)

Thanks codeworkx,coolya,atinm and all the other devs i have forgotten.

- ROMManager support

(meaning, no significant change since 20110515).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
So I realize that every phone will be different depending on apps installed/updates intervals, usage, Modem, etc. so this question is meant to be in general.

I am just wondering on battery life, what is typical for users? I've read people getting 36 hours on a charge and I have NEVER seen this on ANY rom, even if I don't touch my phone all day I barely get 24 hours and that's when I put the phone into airplane mode at night to disable everything. Just seems no matter what I do I can't push more than 24 hours. Wondering if I have some app that is soaking the juice up? anyone what is an average that I should be shooting for here??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Which we should answer with a link to relevant q&a posts and a market link to Rom manager. Sounds better than ever :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsuru:
rom manager hates me, Connection timed out, cant download it :D

Edit: Working now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Besides my own experience with this thing and how it has developed only over the last 3 weeks, I'm taking this as a sign even you guys feel this is seriously approaching general release-quality.

Absolutely stunning work, guys. Fantastic job. Can't thank you guys enough for what you've made my phone into. Hope you get all the support Samsung has to offer. You deserve it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Thanks. Yes - we know that we cannot talk to the modem correctly - the RIL is closed source and Samsung is using proprietary interfaces. We're trying to make it work, but haven't been very successful yet. It basically looks like a modem hang because it doesn't send us a response in the time we expect. It could be because the transaction we did needed more information and so the modem is waiting for us, or that the interface is really changed and we're crashing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] koflem:
I lose about 1% battery every hour when phone is sleeping (with 3g activated, but nothing else). Here are a few things you can do to help battery life :

1) in the wifi advanced settings, turn wifi sleep to "never" as it may prevent the phone from sleeping

2) disable sync

3) with the battery full, reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats (also wipe cache/dalvik cache while you're at it) then cycle battery a few times.

4) check the battery stats for any app that might be using up the battery in the background and uninstall it (if android OS is very high, see this post)

5) make sure you're on the latest nightly

6) use a cm7 kernel that supports undervolting and undervolt your phone (such as glitch's, look in my sig)

7) lower the brightness, disable gps/wifi/bluetooth when you don't need them, the usual stuff..

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
I saw this issue with suspend some days ago myself

it locked the CPU to 800 MHz and prevented it from going to sleep

a way to reproduce it (in my opinion)):

notification power widget ->

add the "Go to sleep" button

and send your phone to sleep via that button from now on

after some attempts & waiting for some hours

it should have drained significantly battery & also got quite warm

thanks for the link !

yeah custom kernels (like the platypus kernel) allow you to reduce battery consumption even more with undervolt (UV) :)

Link to the post related to the suspend-issue:

FIX and INVESTIGATION: Android OS (battery drain) problem on Gingerbread View Single Post

that suspend bug isn't the only cause leading to high Android OS cpu load - it's apps that can't be stopped

settings -> applications -> running services ->

click on them and "stop" all except google services (settings, google services, android keyboard, ...) if you want your phone idle for longer periods of time

if they still don't stop (e.g. you can see them respawn & reappear in the list of advanced task killer)

settigns -> applications -> manage applications ->

look for the app (e.g. tap tap revenge 4 kept on reloading for me)

click on it and "force stop"

that should hopefully stop it

if not - the only option after would be to uninstall it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] massari90:
Just wanted to say I was on this rom about 1 month ago, saw the good reviews so decided to give it a go again and it works PERFECTLY! <3 So happy, reminds me of the good old days with my N1 haha. I am still to scared to toggle 2g/3g as last time I did that it locked it up but besdies that this rom is truly amazing! I think its stable enough to put it on my mums phone soon lol

Thanks guys <3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] utsmaster18:
rschenk, on your flow chart (which is extremely helpful thanks a lot for that) it says to flash using CWM. Any difference between using CWM or ROM manager or is it just preference?

Sorry if its a noob question (i know you guys are being bombarded with these) just want to make sure nothing goes wrong :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] koflem:
ROM manager uses CWM to flash. It's basically the same thing, except it's automatic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
I would say ROM manager is the new preferred (and experimental :p) way to go.

You'll even help testing out the devs latest work! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Turn data off - enable 2G - turn data on. This will save you any trouble.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] utsmaster18:
Decided to just do it through CWM, but thanks anyway. Its installing now :D

EDIT: Already booted up, I thought this was supposed to take 10-15 minutes :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Furry Atom:
Is there any hope of getting samsung to open source the RIL? Samsung is actually pretty cool with the modding community so maybe they wouldn't mind?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Compass works. You need to do some figure 8s in the air to caliberate it before it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Doubt it - they are actually terrible at supporting the mod community. They only open source what they have to open source, namely the kernel. And even there they have chosen to use closed source user space drivers when possible to get around the GPL.

Wow. That's all I'm saying :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Furry Atom:
At least they aren't moving towards locked bootloaders unlike a certain company that doesn't care about how CM7 supports their phones very well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] koflem:
Plan on changing your signature soon? :p

Anyways, I don't think I did my thank you post yet, so...

This rom is AMAZING - never had a single problem with it and the speed is just incredible!

Awesome work, and keep going! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skye9342:
Hey guys, i cnt really get hsdpa to enable in my phone. Is there a solution to this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Keep praying, but don't bet on them not also going to locked bootloaders. Why manufacturers think it hurts their sales for their devices to be customizable I have no idea. Customization is supposed to be a selling point normally - but maybe they think they can all be iClones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Furry Atom:
Um my pulldown menu no longer has toggles for wifi, gps ect. Was this intentional or did I **** up somewhere? :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
You get to pick what you want there - look under CyanogenMod Settings somewhere, it must have gone back to default or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] koflem:
You can't enable it from cm7, but it should be enabled as long as you didn't disable it before flashing.

If you want to check, flash back to stock and use the dialer code : *#301279#.

If it's enabled and still wont work, try flashing another modem from the list.

Edit: also, please use the Q&A for further questions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Furry Atom:
Thanks. Sorry I've been on MIUI and the last time I tried cm7 it still required flashing the kernel tar and efs backups ect ect. Lots of really nice changes have been put in.

Also the menus being black is really nice for saving battery life on the display. Keep up the good work. Also how did MIUI get the external sd on external_sd where cm7 is still on emmc. Did the MIUI devs do something to make it appear there? Doubletwist is a great music player and it's *****y about where files are stored.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] droilfade:
True. But I would say there are things that need to be considered from a corporate point of view. User experience, sales, warranty costs etc. Imagine every user meddling with his/her phone! And also, it can lead to failure of a device itself in some cases which will lead to huge losses and then the management will just burn the development team! People complain more about things in android than in iphone (not the devs but the common public at least), coz everything in iphone is just there, love it or hate it! In android you tweak it and then say it sucks :p . Just my two cents!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skye9342:
I had instances that it worked - Only shortly after i lock and unlock the screen. But im unable to reproduce it again. Using jpy modem on samsung rom always gave me a H. But for this instance, 3G was usually shown. Anyone care to explain?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Furry Atom:
Can you confirm the towers in your area are using HSDPA and not HSPA?

EDIT: My battery has been on 43 for 22 minutes. I ****ed up the battery stats -_-.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skye9342:
Pardon my ignorance, but arent they essentially the same thing. But hspa, just includes both hsdpa and hsupa.

Just did a speed test to realise that my speed was at 3.5 mbs. Im sure 3g wouldnt achieve such speeds. But my meter is still showing 3G..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] suua:
Just wanted to say thanks to all who have worked on this AWSOME ROM. realy profesional work guys.

thanks again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] uvlight:
LOL, most people hear lagfix and already happy with it. I guess the (correct) answer would be: Yes, it support ext4 and the lagfix already build-in.

That explains the Browser for the latest i9000 2.3.3 update from Samsung scrolls just like iPhone, stops every 2 damn pages. (which drives me crazy)

actually, I was thinking, for iPhone, everything is just not there.

BTW, I would really like to know if there is a way to hack the screen brightness to below level 20?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mystifiyer:
Had the same problem (refer to my post a few pages back).

Tried at home where I normally get H and confirmed that even though it says H when I unlock it, under Settings it stated UMTS.

Changing the radio does not helped so I had to go back to Samsung (its a really big deal breaker for me since I relied alot on HSDA)

I will come back to Cyanogenmod after the storm blows over but probably won't be so soon since not many people apparently had this problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
any one having issues sending/receiving MMS since 05/15 update?

checked apn its all good... im on JVK radio
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Another update incoming then...as I understand it you download the initial in ROM manager...does it then run and install automatically and reboot into cm7 or do you have to do anything along the way?

Also is it only the premium?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knift:
yes.

no, it's available for all.

I'v just updated my SGS several minutes before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Even when things are not there in iPhone, El Jobso tells you that you never really wanted it anyway and if you did, you were wrong to....so that's alright.

As for the brightness issue, the only idea I have left is to paint your screen gray. Maybe cover it in cheesecloth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Ummm..which was the yes.

Was it yes it is utterly automatic on initial install

Or

was it yes you need to do something like clicking ok, and if so what?

Are you confused yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Face front, True Believers....I have good news.

You know that issue some of us have been having with some photography/videochat apps where when we use the front camera our face (or any other part) appears at a 90 degree angle, sticking out of the side of the frame like The Cat in the Hat?

You know how we have been wondering if this was a bug/problem/thing in cm7?

Well it isn't.

The excellent developers of Vignette just released a fix for their photography app correcting the "upside down preview with the front camera" problem, which they said was a general issue in android 2.3....and it IS fixed for me that app.

Therefore this is an app issue, not a ROM issue. So get after the app developers for updates ....and shut up about it in here.

Carry on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Hi! Just flashed first galaxy s cyanogen build (the last one)!

The only big issue is that the ROM doesn't do any media scan, so even if I moved all my music and images in the internal SD card (on the external sd the phone didn't recognize them...even with root explorer, when I clicked on external SD I couldn't see nothing on the SD but it recognized that the SD was full of contents) I can't see them in the gallery and I can't f.ex. use them as icons or wallpapers.

Is this a known bug?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Yes.... lol

This is because external-sd is an empty folder now. Check mnt/emmc/ instead.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
First read the FAQ please....the external SD card in cm7 had a serious falling out with his family and originally wanted to change it's name to "A Massive Fecking Disappointment" but that was too long and sort of self-hating so it finally settled on being known as /emmc (its mother's maiden name). Look for it in root explorer under that name.

However that not finding media issue is new. That is not a known bug. My apps like Gallery have never had trouble finding images. Have you tried just rebooting or reflashing the ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Thanks....reboot didn't work. I'll try reflash....also I have problem with bedpans but I can't access in the section with the secret code *#*#301279#*#* to change settings ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Ummm.....bedpans?

Seriously?

All those codes are part of Samsung's software so don't work in cm7 no matter what they are checking....but don't you have one of those little buttons to call the nurse?

From what i know, 3g is suppose to only provide up to 380 kbps. However, while checking my speed, i manage to go up 3.5 mbps. It might just be a bug? Although its show 3G, it still functions like H?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Necrolust:
CWM. not cement, haha
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Yes, a nandroid backup backs up EVERYTHING except for the Modem (and the file system if you are not on CM7 already). Just remember it is FAR better to take the backup from Recovery then to do it from the ROM Manager app.

Cement is fine...just don't mention bedpans.

I am still mentally scarred over the bedpans thing.

good morning everybody! Just updated through rommanager, congratulations for the great work done.

One strange issue happened, namely half my apps are gone. I chose wipe dalvic cache, not days and cache. Ea tapatalk is stil there but not tasker. Fml app is still there but not facebook.

Anyway, titanium is my friend :)

Edit: reflashing gapps restored not only gapps but also my other apps.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
Why is that, afaik rommanager is rebooting to recovery to do the nandroid? Thought the difference between "reboot to recovery" and the 3bc was gone?

Tapatalked u see
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
It has nothing to do with CM7...I was taught a while back that it is just more stable to do the backup from Recovery yourself...that may be wrong now, but still seems to me a good way to eliminate one more variable that could go wrong.

I think you can be right about that, my phone doesn't vibrate also when switching off before reboot. It does vibrate when I switch it off normally though.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] commandozzz:
Cement backups were used a few centuries ago in order to store stuff as it was. Anything you put in was pretty much "backed up", unless you took a sledgehammer to it (which is pretty much still the same today with a phone...)

Lucky for us, technology evolved and now we have ClockWorkMod and Nandroid backups (no cement required).
