i'm not sure if it's been discussed here at all, but over in miui, it hasn't ever gone well to odin the gb bootloaders while running cm7/miui.

make a nandroid of your current install. odin back to jfd (to get back to bml partitions), then odin the froyo bootloaders, then install cm7, then restore nanadroid.
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
Ok, thanks. I'll see what I'll do later; if I'm feeling lazy I'll just Odin and report back here.

I have looked there, but I don't know where it is, but I think I know what you're getting at.

The Mod Version doesn't necessarily say what build I'm on, but it does include a date so I can tell from that.

Kind of a circumventive (made up word :D) way of helping me, but I appreciate it none the less. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
I never installed any bootloaders. When I switched phones I just installed cm7, wiped and nandroided back.

Hey everyone, I'm new here.

I'm using the latest nightly build (55)

I really need the GPS, so I hope I can help somehow...

I followed some tips from the latest posts, installed AngryGPS, and used the gpsd file from Trigger's ROM... it did help me getting lock.

anyway, just wanted to say hi :)

[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
I just look in emmc and the external sd is always there, never had a problem accessing it or anything on it.

As for what I meant, when I switched from one vibrant to another I just made a nandroid backup on the old phone, then took the new phone and ODIN'd back to 2.1, used update.zip to get into clockwork recovery, flashed the newest nightly to get to the cm7 kernel, then booted back into cm7 recovery, wiped and restored the nandroid from my old phone.

It worked perfectly and there was no fussing around with bootloaders.
[Vibrant Android Development] reyese24:
So nightly #54 has actually turned out to be the best nightly I've ever used in terms of stability and battery life. So far ive had the phone off the charger for 12 hours and 30 minutes and I still have 56% battery life left. Thanks to all who have made it possible to have CM7 on the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
funnily, 54 seems to be the worst for me.

I'm a teen.

I don't use my phone all the time, infact since I live in Texas and its about 120 degrees outside EVERYDAY, I usually stay in and I talk to my friends through facebook on my computer.

My phone sits next to my computer all day, yet when i go to sleep, starting from #54 my battery is always at 10% left.

#39 was the best in battery, I'd stick with that too, but I want the mute/unmute but fix on it thats all i need, IDFC about GPS, I have a garmin for that.

I'm a little confused on the kernel...

What would the difference be between say Glitches kernel and the stock kernel? Would it be worth changing out?

I'm getting absolutely horrid battery life, maybe 8 hours... Seems like this baby just drains the battery
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
Any chance the magic behind this can be incorporated directly into the ROM?

edit: Just checked my battery from overnight and I have the Android OS taking up a lot of CPU time, as others have pointed out. Never had this issue prior to 55.
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
First,you lose support in here, and Myst diagnose rom issues yourself and diagnose kernel issues with the kernel maintainer.

Secondly, you get a kernel with much more options, like oc, UV, more data queue schedulers, more governors, more optimization, led-notify, etc.

I have x56 installed, and neither of my computers are recognizing my device in debug mode.

* Tried on two computers

I might try reverting to stock next to verify the source of the problem, but any help would be appreciated.

gps is working excellent, verified. toggling on and off works, always locks within a minute now woo hoo!
[Vibrant Android Development] ginzberg:
I have not attempted navigation or anything too extreme, but I can also confirm that GPS test and maps are reacting as good as the best performing Froyo ROM. As well all know as Vibrant owners, that's as good as things will get. 7 of 11 birds, lock in 20 sec... fairly accurate appearance on maps and GPS Test reports 20-30feet accurate after a few moments. Turning on and off appears to be fine.

I was a little confused by the angygps.apk instructions. I copied it to /system/bin, but also installed it. I also set the mode to MSBASED rather than the default STANDALONE.
[Vibrant Android Development] GryphonAuto:
I didn't need to install that driver, however following the instructions I found helped me fix it, thanks!

[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Once someone actually figures out why the phone isn't going into deep sleep when it is suppose to, this rom is going to be the best rom available for the vibrant hands down. Battery life is the only thing still lacking with this rom imo.

couldn't agree more.

I have CPU spy on my phone

It shows that my phone's been at 1000 hz for 10 hours and the rest of the hz its at around 10-15% total, and then i come to deep sleep, and it says "time: 5:00 meaning 5 ****ing minutes.

im gonna murder someone if my CM7s battery dun get awesome by tomorrow.

atinm please look into the Nightly #39 it had the best battery life, not just for me, but ofr a lot of people, did it have something special? something removed?
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Hey, hey, they're doing this for free! Don't be murderous here :)
[Vibrant Android Development] quadratic:
If it's not going into deep sleep, reboot. I've been having this problem intermittently for about the last week and that has worked for me. Just reboot, wait 10 minutes, then verify that CPU Spy shows it going into deep sleep. Repeat as needed.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
This could be the cause, but when I have 3 full bars and it still disconnects. The bars dont really matter. I think your right that the sansung wifi drivers are stronher and more powerful than cm7.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Oh, if only it was as simple as a reboot. I amazes me how many times people give the advice of a reboot to solve every vibrant problem. It's like telling someone to take aspirin every time they get a head ache even if they're dying from a cancerous brain tumor.:eek:

There's obviously an underlying cause that the devs will have to figure out, but in the meantime a reboot can spare your battery life with no apparent ill effects :)
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
This question has been asked about six times on this thread alone. Quite honestly, we're tired of people not reading the forums for answers before they post. Please, be one of the intelligent people who don't ask the same question over and over.

That being said, CM7 shows a full charge as being ~96% because that's what the battery actually gets to. Samsung ROMs and all custom ROMs based off it (that is, every ROM except this one and MIUI) lie to the user. They say they're 100% full, but are not. Besides, even if it was right, would 4% battery really matter that much? If the phone shuts down at 3%, you're probably scrambling for your charger anyway at 7%.

[Vibrant Android Development] zyrinx:
I grasped the 100% thing and that was what I had read; however, I didn't realize that it was usually only 96%. I suppose it makes sense, but for some reason I thought I had read that it usually didn't break above 99%, which is why I was confused when I saw the 96. I understand being tired of people repeatedly asking the same question. The problem was that initially I had been searching for the wrong thing in the thread and it overlooked the posts that had the answer I was looking for.
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
should of said that the first time. not all batteries are created equally which is why some of that reads different numbers percentages at their peak. the amount of where on the battery also have an affect on how much charge it can hold.

[Vibrant Android Development] CappyQ:
I know the current language is that Samsung is "lying" to us about our batteries being 100% charged, but if we try looking at it from their angle, it makes much more sense:

Nothing is actually being lied about. "100%" in the stock ROM means to the user that the battery can charge no more -- it is at 100% of its charging capacity available to the phone. Even though the battery only goes to 96% of its true capacity, our phone is charged to 100% of its possible capacity. And that's what the battery percentage should mean. Can you imagine what the reactions would be if a company released a device that never charged to a visible "100%"? The same reactions are occurring here, over and over in this thread (from people who have trouble reading, but I digress).

I suggest that in a stable version of CyanogenMod 7, the ROM should not give a percentage out of the battery's capacity (in which case it would top off at 96%), but instead display the proportion Samsung provides so that 96% capacity == 100% charged. It makes a lot more sense that way from the end-user standpoint, and it'll cut down on all of these unneeded comments and complaints.
[Vibrant Android Development] boothten:
I remember this being an issue for another person a while back, but couldn't find it in this thread...

[Vibrant Android Development] vud911:
Yea, I had that issue too. What happened was I put it on the usb charger and it wouldn't go into a deep sleep. When I touch the phone 1/2 hour later, it was very very hot.

Another reboot fixed battery drain problems (devs should still take a gander at this).
