This is actually a problem that likely comes up for a lot of people in different ways. The key is that standard Android behavior is to do full Media scans every reboot (also every time an SD card is inserted). If during that scan Android comes across any corrupted media, it will either FC or slow down to the point that booting up takes 20 minutes.

That would be bad enough, but when a corrupted image or video makes Media FC, does Android just go on about it's business? No, it starts another media scan, hence another FC, followed by another media scan....you get the picture.

As for how ones deals with that problem...I know in SGS Tools there is a function (that works with CM7) where it scans all SD cards for any corrupt images and deletes them...but once you are already in the FC Tango that won't do you a lot of good. I have heard of some apps that allow you to disable the automatic Media Scan...but...

A) I do not know if they work at all,

B) I do not know if they work with CM7,

C) I can't remember what the apps are anyway,

and D) I am very very leery of disabling anything that is intrinsic to the way Android works, such as media scans. Seems like bad, bad mojo to me.

OF course it would be lovely if there was a proper Rescue Mode in Android, where you could boot into your phone without running all the drivers and processes just to mess with settings that have gone kerblooie and bang around a bit...but short of that I think your tactic, while a bit butal, may be the only recourse. It may also be worth remobing the external SD and then rebooting, on the offchance the bad file is on the external...but that is a bit of a longshot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
A solid, clear guide...but some of the steps are no longer needed and you may not want to be quite so specific about Nightly numbers, or instruct people to install an alternate modem or custom kernel right off the bat.

Overall, nice job.

PS...Your thanks at the bottom are a bit thin...Codeworkx may loom large but he would be the first to tell you he is not all by his lonesome on SGSTEAM.

Can anybody tell me how to get the MIUICamera.apk working on CM7?

I extracted it from the latest MIUI build and tried the following things:

- normal installation (does not work of course, says "application not installed")

- pushing it to /system/app and rebooted the phone

What have i done wrong? :o

I think renaming the apk could work, but i want both cameras on my phone, stock and MIUI...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
Did you fix the permissions after pushing it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CaracalSef:
In my case, I don't get a FC loop. Only at start up, after I leave the gallery, if I preview a taken pic. I can use camera, listen to music, watch a video. I was frustrated because I didn't knew what was causing the FC. And at first I removed ext SD, so I knew it wasn't something on it causing problems.

Anyway, I'm happy with the phone now!:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lazy Rich:
Where? CWM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:

I am still investigating the sleep issue with notifications, and just tested it today with download manager notification, and android system prevented sleep also when there was a download manager notification. Tested now is k9 mail, handcent SMS and downloadmanager. I still think this is a problem in the notification code of either general android or cm7

Are u sure? Get a notification somehow, let your device sleep for a while, and then check battery info graph if active bar has a break or not. For me it stays active until i remove the notification. The battery drains ~6%/h with a notification and les than 1%/h without.

If i am the only one with that problem i think i have to do a clean install to see if it persists, but i guess u can see how i want to avoid that.

It is only needed when going from a custom kernel that uses a lot of scripts, such as Platypus, to either stock or Glitch.

However I find it very useful as it includes all the normal wipes in a single easy to run package.

That said, yes, it is run more then needed in those instructions. That and running the old efs backup (now included in the updater) are unnecessary and just complicate the process. I am also unsure that EZBase is needed now that Codeworkx posted a single tar for installing Froyo with Bootloaders via Odin.

It seems that at this point, the Devs have worked very very hard to simplify the install process, but users/guide authors cling to more confusing, convoluted methods. Maybe we feel that if the install isn't draconian, the software won't be as good?

I don't think this is intentional by any means rather, that's the way we done it. We are familiar with the process and probably quickly do it, e.g., from start to finish for me to backup my system, 1) APN / Call log / SMS Back and Restore programs < 2 minutes; 2) Titanium (always up to date and I use the scheduling feature that runs 3x/wk) < 2 minutes quick check) 3) Check for Nan backup which is already done since I do it once I'm satisfied with nightly operating correctly and 4) flash the new nightly. The whole thing is roughly 35 minutes for me.

Obviously, I'm not doing the initial install with bootloaders and such as I did that long ago when I first started using CM however, I've gone back and tried other ROMs as I've no yet put a CM 7 Rom on either my GF's or other friends phones due to every evolving issues. I do feel that it is rapidly approaching the time when I can put one on my GF's phone as it is now remarkably stable for everyday use.

Yeah well, I don't know whether it's true what I say, but if I flash another SAME kernel, for example TkGlitch from V9

need, because to get 'to' stock I will need to wipe the whole thing and from stock to for example TkGlitch I've never

had ANY trouble. Or?

That is all correct...Glitch doesn't tend to install any additional scripts, it is very close to stock.

That said, it doesn't hurt anything to run it once during Nightly swapping just to be on the safe side, but more than once is excessive. I also fix permissions every time I change nightly...why put myself through potential FC panic?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Voodoo Control App is now compatible with the stock CM7 kernel so you don't need custom kernels just for that. OC/UV is about the only thing that we will definitely not do in the stock kernel. The rest of the things that people use custom kernels for is dependent on how clean/bugfree the code is, and how much pain it is to integrate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I am basing this on Tk's own comment, from Post 997 in his own thread (where this whole exchange really belongs, anyway), where he stated...

"My kernel is not installing any script so you don't need to clean anything. Just install stock kernel. Coming from Zach's kernel you'll need to do some cleanup before using any other kernel."

Maybe something has changed since then, since I admit a month is a long time here? If not, maybe you know the kernel better than Tk? If so, you should warn him about those invisible scripts.

BTW, no one was besmirching or questioning the Glitch kernel's speed or smoothness, just discussing when to run a cleaning script. Sorry if that got your fanboi up, Bjorn.

Since CM7 works completely differently than Samsung ROMS (which this was designed for), and I don't think anyone has noticed any lag, smoothness issues or resources problems on CM7 in quite a while, and such a script would need to be added upstream as of now, since CM7 is NOT just a photoshop rom for the SGS...

I doubt that the devs will pay any attention to Juwe11's latest reinvention of the wheel.

Personally, I don't really see a need for yet another lowmemorykiller tweak script, even on Samsung ROMs. There are already quite a few out there.
