Very simple..it is just able to be placed in ROM Manager. No other changes, no need to flash it.

...and why were you laughing? Think Chglogs are funny, do ya?

Damn kids....

Not sure if its CM7 Related or Kernel, but GPS recently has become really inaccurate after updated from 05/09 cm7 updates..

any one else with GPS issues?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cicer0:
For me, GPS was best in JPY, a little less accurate in Darky's, but almost couldn't get a lock in CM7, so I downloaded GPS essentials from market and it's working properly now.

edit: first time I flashed 0509 so I don't how it worked on older builds
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shi.indra:
Yup its takes forever to get a fix for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RichardHaro:
Installed CM7 the other day, lovely mod. However, despite me disabling auto-retrieve and notifications in the default messaging app it continues to be active, retrieve SMS and display notifications and sounds, making it clash with handcent in a rather annoying way.

Does anyone else have problem with choppy Flash Player playback both 10.2 and 10.3 version? Movies on YouTube.com in 360p works fine, some of them work fine even in 480p but it is impossible to watch anything in 720p as it was possible on stock samsung rom. This happened to me and one other user form polish forum and so far I haven't found anyone else to mention this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BraCa:
I'm using the 0515 version and I have GPS accuracy problems too :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
previous updates GPS was great.. i still get a fix now.. but takes forever, and when driving it cuts off here and there and the position is jumping around, showing that im on other streets, happens on both Sygic Aura and Copilot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] c0nvict:
is this rom going to have a final release or it will keep evolving?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Since last four or five updates there has been a major progress in CM7. Important bugs such as Camera and Rom Manager compatibility have been ironed out, also battery drain has gone for most users (I get 1 day with 2G, autosync etc).

The question now is what does it take for CyanogenMod 7 for our Samsung Galaxy S to get officialy supported by CyanogenMod? Does RIL, 2G/3G toggle and FM Radio need to be solved for reaching Mainline?

Lots of thanks to @codeworkx, @atnim, @coolya and @guiper. You work has reborn our Galaxy S, and provided us with the real Android experience. Thank You.

PD: Battery drain observation, 3 and a half hours since unplugged, still at 90%. That's cool!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tuksedra:
Installed it last night for first time, work flawlessly. Very fast n very customizable. With one setback.. No vid call(3g) but that is my problm.. Best rom todate..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
The whole buildsystem needs a lot of work to handle our stuff. Everything is done now, but review of the code will take some additional time. If everything is reviewed and accepted, our stuff goes mainline and you'll get real nightlies.

on another note i would stay away from titanium backup to restore apps from a sammy rom to cm it just give headaches i tried it it failed for some apps( never try it for system apps btw) i restored some selected user apps and i ended up wipeing them again to start freshly...

there are problems with ext sd and where it is mounted and generaly they seem to be very unstable and laggy after the restore on cm7
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bess833:
For me Titanium Backup restored apps work flawlessly if you restore them as App only (no data). Obviously the point of TB is a bit downed now, but still better than DLing every single app from the Market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arkanius:
You use the default Samsung headset right?

Something got broken when the developers played with the headset controls. Basically, Samsung and Nokia's headsets (The ones with the right pins for our Galaxy S) are constantly giving the play/pause music on our phones and starting the calls with Mute auto selected. It's very annoying. I used a Nokia adapter + a Line in cable on my cellphone while driving so I could route my calls to my speakers.

However CM7 also fixed the fact that the sound wasn't routed unless it detected a Mic pin, so with normal headphones you can still hear sound but not speak (due the lack of microphone, internal speaker still works). But the best thing is, is that with a normal line in cable/headphones, this bug isn't present, so I ditched the adapter.

Bluetooth Headsets and normal Headphones should be problem free in that regard. I don't think Apple compatible Headsets will work though since the mic pin will be connected to the ground one

It's been like that forever.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leshy1991:
hey can we flash\install the stock samsung camera.apk :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prembox:
Yes I use the standard Sammy Hands-free headphones.....wasn't using bluetooth headset coz the battery drain that will result out of it adding to the already existing battery drain issue.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
no samsung apps work!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sebseven:
there scrrenshoot? !! and what about batterie life???thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leshy1991:
thanks for the tip hope the CM team gets 720p video recording soon :D and fixes the battery drain
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bess833:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisb1977:
I'm currently using darkys v9.5 which I think is very good and very stable, bit I've read so many good things about CM7 that I really want to try it. I'm confident enough to follow the instructions and install a 2.2.1 with bootloaders (probably jpu) and then flash the kernel and then CM7 as per the installation guide.

The only thing I'm not sure of is, is this rom considered suitable for everyday use? From what I've read in this thread is very contrasting, some say its fine and others that annoying bugs keep cropping up.

Is it recommended I stay with the stable darkys rom until a final is released or take the plunge and give CM7 a go?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
WiFi connection

I suggest anyone having WiFi connecting trouble to give your router a fixed channel. There's also an entry in the issue tracker:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...=ID Type Status Priority Device Owner Summary

After endless scanning and not finding my router, I fixed my WPA2 connection giving the WLAN static Channel 11.

@atinm or @codeworkx, hm.. the special handling to call at recovery, its possible write to ROM Manager by Dutta? and use TeamDouche for builds?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
We have already talked with Koush and he will be adding this soon, said he would have done it last night but was busy with other things. It is not a critical thing for anyone as all it does it have you go and flash via our CWM anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sebseven:
i hope because the previous version i saw that :

the battery is weak

there is not mount SD

and the camera is weak

did this probleme exist in this version thx?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Manadar:
Try if CM7 isn't suited for you then reflash you 9.5 darky and voilà (I'm confident you won't nonetheless).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bess833:
1. If you have never installed Samsung Gingerbread and stayed on Darky's 9.5, you don't have to flash 2.2 bootloaders.

2. Read and especially this.

CM7 is very good and stable at this point for most, though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prembox:
the first one has improved but its not yet there to be called as resolved

the other two issues are no longer issues no more

Well ive installed the latest gapps from rommanager but still no gapps in menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
We just have to complete merge to mainline, which will take a little additional work - work that will be mostly invisible to users, so we've kept it low priority until now while we fixed bugs. We're close now, so now we've raised the priority and are actively working on getting totally compatible with mainline and starting our SGS specific device merge process. Till now our merges to mainline have been to common code that required modification to support SGS too as they are quite different from the others. Those changes require a lot more review, but we don't expect device specific stuff to be quite as bad, but you never know how we might have screwed up, so as usual - no ETAs. :-)

Confirmed, yesterday i tried both Navigator and Sygic apps, both IMPOSSIBLE to be used
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RichardHaro:
Just drawing attention to my post again, don't mind me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Disabling it within the App itself seemed to solve it for me. I use HandCent as well and don't get double notifications, lights etc. But you do have to go thru the whole default message app settings to turn off everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RichardHaro:
I've disabled everything in default message app, quadruple checked it, and rebooted to make sure.

Hmm.

cOnvict!

You are the lucky winner of our monthly "TOTALLY MISSED THE POINT" Award which we give to a man, woman, child or occasionally potted plant who has proven by their words, deeds or actions that they have....

TOTALLY MISSED THE POINT

Our winner last month was Ms Althea Rotsaruck from Sourberry Under Stoat, Cambridgeshire, who took home a year's supply of Pretty Kitty Canned Dog Food for describing the First World War as "That kerfuffle over all those nasty trenchs wot the French dug and wouldn't fill back in".

Your prize for asking if CyanogenMod 7 will have a final, definitive version is...that we will answer your question!!!

And that answer is.....

NO!

CyanogenMod 7 is an ongoing software project in which the Android mobile operating system is used as the basis and inspiration for a constantly evolving, cross-device software MOD that will never be finished, always advancing until it is transformed into the sure to be mind-boggling CYANOGENMOD 8, CYANOGENMOD 9...and BEYOND!

In addition to your answer, for being this month's winner we are also allowing you to download and install the newest edition of Darky's ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S...ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Let's have one more big round of applause for cOnvict, this month's TOTALLY MISSED THE POINT award winner.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sago62:
when I download to 0516, the phone goes out, tries to go in cwm, but fails to install ... I have to install it with the 3 buttons ... Is this normal?:p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:
lol, welling up here.... :D:D

This thread is great, banality interspersed with education and humour...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leion:
I am on stock 2.2. If i want to flash to CM7, do i need to flash the radio? if yes, which one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] boarder.2k9:
A radio is flashed by default (JVK). You should be fine with that one, it gives me the best overall performance. JVO gives me better data speed and signal but has other problems. So just flash the file and you should be fine mate.

After you've installed it you can always download a few and try them out. Just install the zip from recovery and reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No, a modem will be flashed along with the CM7 Big-Suitcase-of-Awesome single zip file installation.

As long as you flash it from Froyo you will be fine.

Hey, use ROM Manager and tell me what the name of the file you flash to install from ROM Manager is? Noone will tell me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leion:
Thanks for the fast response.

from http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/

Do i still need to flash the froyo bootloader thing? or can I skip to just flashing the CM7 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
froyo bootloaderz are still needed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sago62:
nothing .... I tried again, but rommanager can not install update and make backups .... I can only do downloads
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] c0nvict:
Well let me aswer back to you. Since Galaxy S is now running on 2.3.4 and bugs are gradually ironed out this means that in a few days-months all the bugs will not exist and sgs will run flawlessly on 2.3.4 thanks to the devs incredible work so far. So if that is achieved in the future what else will have to be done next? NOTHING. Unless you hope that sgs will get dual core processor, 3d camera etc... with cm8 or cm9 which i believe is impossible. This kind of irony is not accepted by me and many other people. You could just answer no but unfortunately there are many other people like you in this world who like to play smart in front of others to raise their selfesteem. Friendly yours Marios.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RichardHaro:
How did you do that? Trying to uninstall it the normal way isn't possible
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Titanium Backup is the way
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] c0nvict:
Maybe you should try to uninstall it or freeze it via Titanium Backup and see if this works
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] T53N:
It is really not necessary to delete the sms-app. You can just disable the notifications in the original sms-app.

When a new Nightly comes out, the settings remain. If you uninstall the sms-app, it will be re-installed when flashing a new nightly...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:
Using root explorer, go to /system/apps and delete SMS.apk

To reinstall, I assume you can just unzip the CM7 initial, copy the apk from wherever it is stored and replace in /system/apps.

Don't forget the reboot.

Please correct me if i'm wrong people.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
And to answer back to you, as well.

Software development is not just a matter of closing bugs or matching hardware features. As software matures, developers and programmers can make it more efficient, more elegant. After all, the initial Samsung ROM met all the hardware challenges, why not leave well enough alone? Why develop cm7 for the sgs at all? You know the answer...to make it better. Look at the kernel designers....constantly striving to make each build a little better.

I feel that the REALLY amazing work will come from Teamhacksun once the last bug is closed and they don't need to deal with issues anymore and can push the software on our sgs further and faster then we can imagine now. That is when they will truly fly their banners high...when the only battle left is against the illusion of perfection.

If you truly felt that the hardware created a deadend that software could not challenge....then you already felt you had an answer to your question, so why ask it?

Sorry to tease you...but the question demanded, not irony - that is something else, a little sarcasm.

I too have the home screen non responding thing.

First time I press, nothing.

Wait a second or two and press again, home screen comes on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RichardHaro:
Done and it's STILL there! WTF!

The bottom one is the notification I'm trying to rid myself of.

edit: Didn't see your edit. I'll reboot now and see if it changes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
That is not unusual...it just means that the phone is idling properly. Mine does the same thing. Are you using any uv? That can also account for slow wakeups
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:
No idea mate, although that isn't a CM SMS notification afaik.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RichardHaro:
The notification is still there, clicking on it simply doesn't take me to the default app now it's uninstalled.

I guess it's unrelated to the default app, then? I'll try and look into that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mystombox:
Hi there, what actually is uv?

On a side note, my battery drain is quite bad

45% on sporadic use, 8h of discharge.

I check my battery stats:

25% on mobile standby 8h11min

10% phone idle 7h41min

34% display 30m (any way I can decrease the brightness? Its at 10% brightness all the time. I realise it may be the kernel that controls the min. brightness, I know speedmod has a very low 10% brightness, but still readable indoors)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
UV is undervolting, a feature of custom kernels. It basically provides less power to the chip to maximize battery life.

Your mobile standby seems quite high to me, not sure why.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mystombox:
Nope, I'm using CM7 kernel or whatever was the initial kernel on the nightlies before.

I too have no idea why my mobile standby is so high.

Is it because I leave my data on? But my battery life used to be quite good previously.

With the usage now like today, it should only have dropped to 70% or so, but today it's at 55%.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] c0nvict:
There is an app for this called Screen Filter.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mystombox:
Yes I know, but it would be great if its built into the kernel with a lower min brightness.

Screen filter is another app running and it affects all range of brightness.

Meaning if I need to go max 100% brightness, it'd still be affected by the screen filter.

Thanks though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DvTonder:
Just a quick report on my RomManager (RM) upgrade experience with 0516.

Unlike all previous CWM upgrades using the nightly update.zip, the 0516 RM Upgrade did not preserve my gapps. When I use RM to upgrade my Nexus One, I get a prompt to download and install gapps but did not get it with the SGS upgrade. Not sure if this is a bug/oversigt or feature.

After the upgrade, when I tried manually flashing my gapps from the sdcard using RM, somehow my phone got factory reset during the process. Fortunately for me I had a nandroid backup handy.

Not sure if it was the Rom, RM or my fingers that caused the issues but just a few words of advice to others - "Nandroid is your friend, never flash without it"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mortify1:
What a great tool ROM Manager is, but I do report the same problem, my Gapps has been removed and needed to re-flash it from CWM again. Other than that everything worked great!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] suua:

Question to the devs concerning the closed source drivers:

Would the following be helpful:

1. The nouveau project reverse engineered the propietary nvidia graphics drivers for linux, and also created several tools for analyzing the driver communications - could e.g. Someone on a sammy rom use such tools to give better logs of the driver communications?

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Development

2. The osmocomBB project is creating a free modem firmware for mobile phones. They might not be using the same modem hardware, but might have a lot of knowhow about such hardware and software stacks and some usable tools.

http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/

Hope that might be helpful in the cool job you devs are doing ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
I also had issues with the rom manager install I wiped divolik cache before install bit did not wipe user data not sure if I had to?? Anyways all Google apps no longer functioned correctly I'm assuming its the same issue others are having but they wiped the user data and I didn't. Should a person wipe everything before flashing a new nightly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Do NOT wipe /data or /datadata before flashing a nightly.

DO NOT

DO NOT

DO NOT

You should wipe the cache and the Dalvik, but wiping /data and /datadata is essentially a factory reset. No need for that unless you are having serious problems otherwise.

As for the gapps problem, it seems that needing to reinstall gapps after updating is just the standard behavior of ROM Manager.

Did anyone update via ROM Manager and NOT have trouble with their google apps afterwards?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
i think the rom in the manager is the initial so it will wipe not sure how it should detect no wipe-wipe
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I am inclined to agree since I see the 20110516 CM7 sitting in ROM Manager, but when I have it check for updates it says there are none, even though I am running 20110515.

Did I misunderstand when I thought you could also flash nightlies via ROM Manager, or is that not online yet?

What kernel are you using? Sometimes undervolting or overclocking can create video problems. I would also make sure to close all other open programs before running video at 720.

Are all 720 videos having problems, or just some of them?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LockeOn:
All of the YouTube.com videos are choppy on 720p some of them even on 480p. I tried Flash Player 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 I was using stock kernel and platypus kernel(I don't use undervolting, tried both with and without overclocking). All of the programs are closed - I have a very agressive minfree settings. I tried also changing VM Heap size form 24 to 48 but it did not change anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
to put it short:

CyanogenMod is similar to a rolling release ROM

(like e.g. Gentoo Linux or Arch Linux are rolling release distros)

like it was posted before:

first the bug-fixing - then feature requests

until then - please NO FEATURE REQUESTS

thanks !

FYI:

VM heap size is set to 48 by default with platypus kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LockeOn:
I am aware of that I meant the range of changed VM sizes - I tried 24, 28, 32, 40 and 48.
