Since updating to the lastest nightly (I was on 7.1 RC1 before), i noticed some graphic glitches. It have them when opening my launcher (LauncherPro) and on widgets.

1. launcher

When opening/closing my launcher, some areas stay the background color until the launcher is fully open (hard to describe ... I basically see areas, where my background is still visible, and not the launcher-frontend). Since this happens during opening, its hard to provide screenshots ... I would need to make a video.

2. widgets

similar problem: some areas are not drawn correctly (please see the attached screenshot1). I marked the areas with an arrow: Here I see the background color instead of the widget color (dark grey). Now, when I scroll around to get to my next homescreen, the white areas get drawn correctly and become grey (because widget gets repainted?).

Also, the position of the widget seems to be important: Another positon on another hoemscreen, I got the glitches on other places (see screenshot2).

This problem is not limited to these two applications (LauncherPro + weather widget), I have them on other apps as well, but not all of them. I even have them on another device as well (LP P500, unofficially ported CM nightly build). This makes me think that these apps have something in common (certain api calls for drawing items? using transparency?), but I dont know what that might be.

These glitches are not present in the latest RC1.

If anyone is able to investigate this, I'm more than willing to provide screenshots, logs, videos or whatever is needed ... just tell me what you need.

UPDATE: After some hours of testing, I conclude this is a LauncherPro error (in combination with a white (hex FFFFFF) background). Other launchers and/or background do not show these glitches with the latest nightly (104, built 2011-08-31 08:44:27), I filed a bug report in the LauncherPro forum.

After being with CM7 for almost 2 weeks finally decided to go back to crappy Samsung ROM because GPS is broken for me with CM7 after trying pretty much every single modem out there. Other than GPS it is the best ROM I ever had. Will be back to CM7 when she's ready to give me everything I want. :) .. once you CM you never go back ;)

I think they all have their good and bad sides, i can't stand stock wifi driver and colors, that's why i use fugumod, there the compass is not working for me, but that's a minor issue compared to stock.

Hi!

I'm really happy with CM7, but have two problems that can't resolve.

* GPS don't work for me. With clear sky view, my phone can't find any satellite. With GPS Status, only one or two satellites found, but unable to fix. A friend with a HTC Desire near to me, fix the location in a few seconds. Tried a lot of differents modems with no luck.

* Sometimes, my phone become slow and don't response for a few seconds while switching programs. After research, found that the process kswapd0 is using a lot of resources. I've attached a screenshot showing this process system usage. I know that this process is used to compress the RAM for swapping. But, can't find a way to disable this function to just test if problem is solved.

Any idea ???

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] muff99:
No problem here (see screenshot). Latest nightly an JVK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kamalmawa:
usually 5-10 sec to get a GPS lock on JVR modem with Samsung JVR Rom.. with CM7 it takes more than a minute.. I was able to reduce the lock in time with different modems but no matter what modem the phone was on the GPS signal gets lost once I starting to move my car and sometimes shows way out of the location :(.. it could never keep the GPS signal accurate and steady.. tried JPG,JV5,JV6,JVK,JVO,JVP,JVQ,JVR,SRJV1,ZSJPG with CM7 all failed for me..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Try changing your ntp server in /system/etc/gps.conf to a server near you, for Austria i use at.pool.ntp.org default is north-america, but it takes ages to get a fix with that. Also be sure u have data network enabled to get the fix, as otherwise it can't sync time and takes at least twenty ages to get a fix...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kamalmawa:
Yes I did that with faster fix.. I set to oceania.pool.ntp.org..also tried GPS Aids. yes data network was enabled otherwise I couldn't run Google Navigation.. I just flashed JVR custom ROM.. whola 6 sec GPS lock..

hm,

well we should make a list of FAQs (a really HUGE on)

and each time people are asking already asked questions - point to it ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GalaxySDroid:
Thanks zacharias.maladroit!

I'm not a lazy reader or something, but this topic was too huge. I've read the first page Entirely and the CyanogenMod for SGS from here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...ones-experimental/page__p__149015#entry149015

That's because I want my phone to be safe, and that I know what I'm doing! :D Thanks Again for your answer! Really Apreciate it! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexandruvlad:
Agreed !

:D

Already getting thoughts in my head about FAQs like :

Q : Does FM Radio work ?

A : NO !! Never will

or

Q : Does the dialer work in CM7 ?

A : Of course it does

:D:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
So i only need to have to following files on my SD?

kernel-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip

- update-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip

And a radio file is like a modem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eagle06:
yes , the default modem/radio you get is JPM.

after flashing kernal it will automatically reboot and install update-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip.

Next reboot into recovery flash latest update i.e 05/09.

reboot again to recovery flash gapps.

If you want to use different radio flah the corresponding zip file in cwm .

If you encounter any boot loops just format cache.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
initial comes with JVK modem.

flashed jpu but i have 2e recovery now.

Do i have to install kernel with odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No, just follow the new instructions...no odin needed ever again.

Welcome to cm7, King.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eagle06:
no need of odin . Just follow the instructions here

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
INSTRUCTIONS

NEW INITIAL STUFF -> READ CAREFULLY

FIRST TIME FLASHING CM7 TO YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY S SERIES PHONE:

Make sure your phone is fully charged! Update process will take some time.

Make sure there's enough free space at your internal sdcard (200MB)

Make sure you've not disabled HSPA by using the dialer code *#301279#

Make sure you're running a 2.2 (Froyo) bootloader. If you're on Gingerbread, downgrade to JPU or something.

Download following files from sourceforge: Captivate | Galaxy S | Galaxy S B | Vibrant

- kernel-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip

- update-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip

Copy following files to root your internal sdcard (/mnt/sdcard):

- kernel-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip

- update-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip

Reboot into "Stock 2e" or "ClockworkMod" Recovery using 3-button-combo and apply "kernel-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip"

- Hint: For 2e Recovery you have to rename "kernel-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip" into "update.zip" and choose "Reinstall packages"

- Don't use "reboot recovery" command or other shiny things to do this!

Reboot. Your Phone should automatically start flashing "update-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip". If it doesn't, simply reboot again.

Wait until your Phone has booted fully up. There's a lot to do, be patient. Welcome to CyanogenMod 7.

OPTIONAL: Copy Gapps (Google Apps like Market) to your internal sdcard and flash it from within ClockworkMod-Recovery.

* DEVICE = stands for your device name. e.g. captivate, galaxys, galaxysb, vibrant

I'm sorry KingMetal, but dit you even look at the first post?

There is a link to the install instructions, which explanes everything very well! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
sorry i,m in 3e recovery.

so i first flash a kernel with odin i guess
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
yeah i,ve read it.

flashing now.

first had to flash speedmod to get 2e recovery
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] T53N:
Sorry, speedmod is ok also ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
i,m seeing a head with an orange circle?

Guess it,s flashing now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
make sure u use the power button to select menus in cwm. nothing else.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] T53N:
That is the recovery. You can't use the home button! Only the power on/off and volume keys to move up and down.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
Think i done it , took just 5 min

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Yes, android.git.kernel.org is down - and is needed for anyone to be able to sync source (including buildbots), and so no one can sync and build. Buildbot tries to do a sync, and fails and so doesn't build.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kamalmawa:
heard he's on his honeymoon...:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kamalmawa:
Thanks mate.. I'll try this too then
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Let me tell you a little story about that. Sit up here on my lap and we'll begin.

Once upon a time in the merry Kingdom of Cyanogen, there lived a happy, friendly bot named Build. Build lived in a tall castle on the brave little Island of Linux, right in the middle of the tranquil and open Android Sea.

The people of Cyanogen loved Build....and Build loved them right back with all his big 'ole heart. Build was so good and kind he even providing the people with warm, beautiful Nightlies every night to wrap up all snuggly inside to keep away the proprietary chill that would drift across the Marketshare Mountains from the dark Apple Empire, ruled by their despotic Chairman, Comrade Jobs. Everyone in Cyanogen was so happy and rejoiced with big loud rejoicings, each day making forum posts praising Build and all the wonderful fixes that killed the bugs that bothered them and made the evil Fanboi Legion inside the Apple Empire gnash their teeth with envy.

"Hooray for Build Bot!!" they cried. "Hooray for Cyanogen!!!"

However, after many generations people forgot the early days when Build first saved them from Symbian and the MeeGo Troll, and began to grumble, wondering why Build hadn't fixed the 720p camera, or why there was no FM radio in the Kingdom of Cyanogen.

"Golly, they have better video and FM radio in the Apple Empire!" the foolish people cried. "Is our freedom of choice and free will such a terrible price to pay for Classic Rock radio, 24/7, with limited commercial interruptions?"

Build heard the people's cries from high in his castle...and it made him sad. So very sad that soon he just didn't have the heart to make Nightlies each and every night...instead he sat in his beautiful castle and cried digital tears that only he would ever dry. As the Nightlies ceased to appear quite so often on their doorsteps, the people did not stop to ask Build if he was alright or if he needed anything, instead they grew colder in both body and soul and meaner and began hissing in nasty little groups about BNL and about battery life. Soon they were even demanding to know where the next Nightly was and by what right did Build not give it to them right away, this instant. After all, they paid good money for this...or so they had convinced themselves.

This impatience and lack of faith broke poor Build's mighty coded heart, and with a weary hand he finally closed the gates of his castle forever with a deep hollow BOOM, and taking one last, heartbroken look across the Android Sea at his lovely Kingdom of Cyanogen, he blew his own brains out with an AK-47 Soundboard app on his brand....new...iPhone.

The End.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
yeah...with miss bouldbot :), they meet in a bar 3 months ago, thing got down, 3 weeks later miss buildbot found out she is pregnant with an healthy little buildbot boy :), so they got married.

when ICS comes out, buildbot boy will try his best to build the new versions... :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leegalaxy:
I find that sometimes it takes a little time for the lag to go away after flashing a new nightly. BTW, nightly #77 had some of the best battery life so far.

GT-I9000. CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] retskrad:
Do you recommend any kernel for CM7 that has stock CM7 colors?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leegalaxy:
There are usually two versions for ever custom kernel out there, one with voodoo colors (make everything look crappy) and

one without. However, CM7 stock kernel is amazing and now includes OC.

GT-I9000. CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
you could try fugumod 1261n
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leegalaxy:
Yeah, pretty nice kernel. Make sure you choose the one without voodoo;p

GT-I9000. CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madd0g:
I'd use stock if it only had LED not. working. Maybe someone could compile stock+LED only, that'd be perfect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Just wait a while. Led is coming back to stock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madd0g:
Really? Any commits indicating this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] upichie:
I'm a little confused. Doesn't having Voodoo Colour mean you can use the Voodoo Control App to change mutlitple aspects of your displays appearance (RGB, gamma, etc.)? This is what I thought it meant; if it does, how does it look "crappy"? With Voodoo Colour, you can have the display appear any way you want it--including the same as stock. How is this in any way inferior?

I must be missing something here.

Would you mind elaborating? What exactly does the stock CM7 kernel offer that any of the custom ones (which I assume are modified CM7 stock kernels) don't?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
For the first, i agree with both sides. Vc looks way off when not customized; but the ability to reach values perfectly optimized for the user eyes, allowing the user to choose from personal taste, i think it's useful to have.

As for the second, maybe he's refering to kernel stability perhaps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] upichie:
I agree. I appreciate the ability to adjust the colour. I haven't used the stock kernel much (see: at all) due to the features it lacks, but stability could make sense, too. Although I have never ran into any irreparable stability problems with my current kernel. And I REALLY use my phone. Currently I'm running @ 1.5 ghz, with 100 mhz's voltage sitting at a measly 450mV--just to show what I expect from it. I've grown to love Android, and I take advantage of everything it can offer me--from starting my car to controlling my desktop computer from across the country.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funnnny:
The stock kernel has the stability that no other custom kernel have. Trust me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] upichie:
What stability problems? Give me an example. I push my phone pretty damn far and I don't feel there are any stability issues with any of the custom kernels I have used, nothing that wasn't fixable or understandable. I'd keep it stock, but all I see are less features.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
Not every phone is or behaves the same, don't forget that.

"use sent timestamps"

?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funnnny:
For example, FuguMod did decrease the screen voltage and later revert it.

More feature always means more bugs, and adding a feature without many people talk and decide if it worth or not is leading to instablity problem.

And don't forget that not all phone are the same, a stable kernel must handle well in most of them.

I use custom Kernel from the start, from a long while ago when I had a Wildfire phone, and I know the risk when I use it, and I never suggest anyone to install custom kernel until they have a good reason to do so.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] upichie:
Alright, makes sense. Thanks for the elaboration.

Maybe because Apple told the German courts not to?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Perhaps I am deluded, but I don;t recall anything in either 103 or 104 that would have altered the colors. CM7 uses the stock colors and always shall.

If you are looking for Voodoo colors, in warm tones of Champagne Gold, try one of the custom kernels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Unrealwolf:
I dunno, stock colors always were blueish for me, the CM ones reddish, and Voodoo yellowish. In 103 (i dont remember installing any custom kernels) colors were more or less balanced, and i quite liked it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
There is nothing in the 104 changelog, that changes colors...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gaspernemec:
Just a friendly reminder that voodoo colors doesn't look same on all phones...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kimlindo:
Then I suggest you get a kernel with Voodoo Color and use the Voodoo Control App to set the colors to your liking.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
You mean that when you installed CM7 104 on your friends device the whites were less intense then they were on his previous ROM. That would likely be because they had Voodoo color previously. If you want Voodoo Color, try one of the custom kernels.

As for battery drain, at this point it is no worse then stock assuming you are not saddled with the Android OS bug.

Lastly...what update are you asking for news about? The next Nightly? Question not the Buildbot..and the Buildbot shall not question thee.
