hey guys..i have a couple of questions..jumping from g2 to i9000 that was my only complain so far,no official cm support..Thank you so much for that and congratulations for your wonderful work..now, to my questions.

1) what does mtd stand for, in galaxysmtd ?

2)in the instructions it states we should flash the cwm..which version? #3 in my memory is not final yet.and #2 does not support gingerbread.

3)if we flash cm7 will the package auto flash gb bootloaders? or afterwards we can flash another froyo rom?i am usualy spending alot of times off my home pc,so its nice to know i can revert to a nandroid is stuff hit the fan.

4) i know that by flashing cm7 we no longer have mkv support, 720p video rec..If we install the sgs2 apk files for its camera e.t.c will they work?if they do not , and we install touchwiz apk first will they work then? or it is framework reliant?

5)are the batt drains fixed?

Again, thank you so much for your wonderful work..It is devs and communities like this that make devices shine.

My compass is not properly working. Is this common issue and is there a way to improve it? I have tried to calibrate it by making 8s but it didn't help.

GPS is working properly.

I installed Darky's ROM on my electric razor but it has this bug where it cuts me all the time, so just as fair warning, you never know what your vacuum cleaner will do next! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cashif:
Thanks :) Have since read the instructions. Because of my ****ty internet, am unable to focus on anything!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Judim:
1) I don't know

2) #3 it is.

3) You HAVE TO have a froyo bootloader as stated in the FAQ and no other bootloader will be installed.

4) don't know.

5) Batt usage is realy acceptable. With 3g and autosync on and normal usage, I'm at 20% after 16 hours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
1. First post: All Samsung Roms are running ontop of BML/RFS, CyanogenMod 7 does NOT. It runs on MTD/yaffs2 (like Nexus One) which means you're not able to flash any kernel or run any filesystem you want. Use it as it is.

2. You can flash from both CWM2/3. CM7 kernel comes with CWM3

3. You need froyo bootloader before installing CM7. Installing CM7 will not change bootloaders (bootloaders can only be flashed with Odin). You cannot revert from CWM, as the whole partition layout will change. Only way to return from CM7 to Samsung is Odin+repartition.

4. No: Samsung-stuff will not work, as you're leaving Samsung when installing CM7. However, I can make and play 720p movies with the CM7 camera (although some people reported problems).

5. Battery drain is only slightly higher than on Samsung ROM (for me at least). Mainly, idle drain on 3G is higher (for me at least).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
Has any1 installed the latest official nightly from the rom manager?

If yes, what is the report? Plz let us know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
1.

2. cwm2.

3. cm7 uses froyo bootloaders. gingerbread bootloaders cause problems.

4. samsung apps wont work on cm7. you could download a seperate app for mkv support. 720p recording does work.

5. it isn't completely fixed but it is much better than before. i get around 28 hours out of mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
05162011? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
Nope, that is the teamhacksung release. I am talking about the 19 may release from the official cm7 branch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
That would have to be a captivate user. Otherwise nobody can download it yet. I've seen no reports in the forum here about DLing or flashing a latest or nightly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
can't be downloaded yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
Download error... Guess we'll all have to wait a bit longer! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] strickyy:
Hm, new instructions?

No need to flash efsbackup and so on, just the rom in CWM? :O
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
Yeah... simple, non? ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] strickyy:
Impressive actually.. was on CM7/MIUI for a long time before, but moved to JVH for better battery life, it's kinda fixed now i believe so i'm coming back :)

New release coming today/tomorrow?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
Well looked in FAQ section.

But no JPO modem?

My phone eats battery any suggestions?

(i know turn wi fi etc etc off)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
maybe because there is no jpo modem? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
That was the old,old,new instructions.

The new instructions seems to be "download, flash in CWM/ROM Manager. It will figure out if it is an update or initial on its own".

Which seems quite nice and cute in its own right ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] qsec:
How come the downloaded number increases?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chris2busy:
Thank you for answering my questions gentlemen..

Now 1 additional, that derived from the info you provided..

Given that flashing cm7 will change the partition tables,is it possible to create another flashable zip file that could revert them back to stock (for flashing a samsung based rom i.e) ?As you very kindly pointed out, it can be done via odin, but i personaly, frequently stay off my home pc , at times for days even, that would be most convenient..And i figured, if the cm7 rom zip file could change the partitions, maybe another could revert them back to stock type..

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pajda88:
What a excellent infotmation ;) I read everything so now we have to wait...it is true that new CM would be tonight ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
It will be whenever they get permissions fixed on their webserver :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
See attachment...

Try this:

Connect phone to charger with the phone on,
and allow it to charge to 100%.
Now disconnect the phone from the charger,
THEN turn it off.
Reconnect the phone to the charger whilst powered off
and give it time to fully charge (5-10 min).
Disconnect the phone from the charger, THEN power it on.
Once it is fully powered on, power it off again and reconnect the charger,
leave it for 20-30 mins. Disconnect, power on and use it.

Not a damn clue... Download not working for me here. :(

Today, hopefully! ;)

Is there a TW4 for it? :$
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Really?...

Read the FAQ.

NO

And thank god for that. I flashed CM to get rid of touchwiz.

Just installed the 16.05. Nightly yesterday, am pretty pleased with all the options of CM7.

Very excited to finally see it merge with the mainline.

I just hope somebody fixes the permissions for the download soon.:p

Is it normal to have battery temperature of 60°C? Just checked from spare parts when I felt my sgs a bit warm:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
Well on custom ROM i had good battery life and GPS

with the JPO Modem.

Maby iy,s different with CM7, will see
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] strickyy:
Well same with me for tw3, but i luv the icons of tw4 and the launcher itself's been improved a lot..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Then grab some hacked Samsung firmware with TW4 on it. It's out there. Hell even on the betakitchen, I think.

It'll never come to CM and for that I'm glad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cicer0:
This is not Samsung ROM so it won't work... thank god.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Once you fix it, send us a pull request ;-) - we're relaxing a bit, been burning up the candle on both ends for too long.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I am sure you can find a theme for cm7 or adw that looks like tw4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Be happy with what you get, you heathen. I am not writing any English Changelogs anymore - now you get tge Changelog from a developer's hand, not a developer supporting users hand. :-P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
Well, since I flashed CM7 day before yesterday, coming back from Samsung custom ROMs, I was using JPO modem to begin with. And I haven't seen battery life this good on an AOSP ROM yet. Not sure if it has to do with the modem or the TK-G kernel I'm using.. but it's still very good IMO!

I couldn't agree more. They did justice to TW4 unlike TW3. Personally, I'd like a port to CM7 if it were possible ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
3.x - it'll then say it is already installed. Call it good. It just needed to know that you are really on MTD, and not running a Samsung ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
You've earned it...in spades
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arielo1:
hello all

first of all yes i have read ALL pages here and the over amount of information regarding CM7 gets me confused....if my questions bother you i am sorry...

1.as i understand theres suppose to be a new CM7 zip file the contains EVERYTHING i need to flash CM7?

2.in case there is a new zip with EVERYTHING do i still need to downgrade to froyo (yes i saw in the first page) but then it says u need to root your device...how should i root it ? from odin ? 1 click root ? theres many ways......

3.isant it suppose to come already rooted after i used odin? or i need to flash a rooted kernel ? wich this is what they mean when they say root your device.

4.i am currently running a custom rom 2.3.3 i need to downgrade to froyo or now with this new zip file with EVERYTHING i can install it strait from CWM ?

5.lets say i am not happy with the rom (probebly will not happen) to get back to 2.3.3 i need to go threw the whole odin process again to run any 2.3.3 roms?

once again dont get angry its the Huge amount of info here that gets me to ask all this.

thnx to all CM team !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dfolt:
now we need to wait for official update from cyanogen?;p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Someone could write this. TeamHacksung and CyanogenMod will not though. But it would be very appreciated if someone else did.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
1. Flash EZBase2(pre-rooted)/XXJPU 2.2.1 Samsung ROM using ODIN.

2. Flash CF-Root kernel using ODIN for root. (any way to obtain root should be fine.)

3. Flash the CM7 SINGLE file from CWM Recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
LOL - people, he is *kidding*! That :$ should be a clue. Or maybe he wasn't after reading his followup . . .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
were do I sign up ? :D

oh noes - you caught me :eek:

rofl

@all that are using JVO modem:

that modem is UNSUPPORTED by the CM7 devs

try JVE, JVK instead
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chris2busy:
Thank you for your kind reply..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
You can download a different launcher. TW will never run on CM. Never.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arielo1:
hey man thnx u so much for the quick replay :)

1.when u say flash (pre-rooted)/XXJPU 2.2.1 Samsung ROM using ODIN are the files here is the rom u mean ? http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/

2.and is this the right rooted kernel ? http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html

(it is not the same one as u mentioned)

3.if i do not want to change my moded wich file i should not flash in odin ?

for the ones who did not read a few post before of mine dont get angry on me for asking this :)

check out why i ask it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
I was using JVK before. JVO seems to work better for me, supported or not. So what's the issue, Zach? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
aren't you the one who wanted to be breast fed?????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
Dude, stop with the repeat questions. Just follow the instructions now. I recommend EZBase2. SEARCH for it here. Download and flash it. There's no need to root it. You can directly flash CM7 from Recovery then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Judim:
+1

10chars
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arielo1:
its not repeated questions its just to makes things clear...

i am sorry i am not a pro like most users here and if i will not ask i will not know .

u are giving me diffrent instructions then what is written basiclly so here is another reason why people get confused everyone says something else

insted of getting mad u can just ignore me :)

thnx anyway

I have the latest nightly build available in rom manager 05192011. It has17 downloads so far. Is this the right one?

Sent from my CM7 GT - I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pajda88:
sorry for question (im not a pro user of android ). Now Im using the newest CM7. I have to downgrade to install new version (when it will be available) or just update via CWM like previous updates ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Just follow the directions in the first post. We will not be telling you how to get to meet the pre-requisites. We do expect you to be able to get to Stock Eclair/Froyo and get root on it yourself. If you cannot, you shouldn't be installing anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
I'm not mad, my friend. ;) And I'll always appreciate someone who's well spoken. I'll give you the one stop shop solution ;)

Here you go. Flash EZBase 2.0 (Froyo version) from there using ODIN, according to the instructions there and then, once it's done, enter recovery and flash the CM7 file from your sdcard. :) Enjoy!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Just update. ROMManager Premium will make it easy, or you can download the zip and install it yourself, either via ROMManager off sdcard, or via CWM recovery off sdcard.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
there's none

but don't post:

or report any issues related to it to the devs

;)

for me JVO also worked superb but "produced" these dumps cluttering & filling up my sdcard

that need to be removed from time to time
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arielo1:
Prasad007 thnx allot man this is much MUCH more clear (at least for me)

waiting big time for the file to be available for download and will try my luck.

i just hope that it will be this easy to flash a diffrent rom in case i would want to...using the simple recovery install with out odin.

God bless android (if there is a god)

and if not still bless android and CM7 team :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
That sounds like a kakka fest to me. Anyway, let's see how it goes. ;) For the time being, I'll revert to JPK though (just in case :p )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mike.sw:
i bet it was already asked but..is mirror is down?

getting "You don't have permission to access /cm/nightly/galaxysmtd/cm_galaxysmtd_full-0.zip on this server." when trying to download.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it really depends on the reception or how timely the modem can respond

so YMMV
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miragebg:
I cannot download the latest version via ROM Manager- gives me "Download error"message.

I cannot download it from the forst post either...it says "you don't have permission to download this file"

What can i obtain this update from?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/17020-all-models-cyanogenmod-7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-experimental/

choose

"The hard way:"

for now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
Out of curiosity, where exactly on your sdcard did you notice these "dumps"? And any particular reason why this modem isn't supported as opposed to the others?

That thread is no more, I believe. Now, there's just: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...nmod-7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-galaxysmtd/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
on /sdcard (the root folder of the internal SD)

it seems to cause more of these (compared to other modems)

so as long as the

"me too - I got these strange dump files on my sdcard"

"what are these dump files on my sdcard ?"

posts don't appear - it should be fine :p

not supported == no care

not supported + reports == bothering, costing time to read, lowering productivity, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] strickyy:
I asked nicely, don't be a douche... I would grab that if i didn't want to use CM7..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Which leads you to another link to the main downloadsite which still doesn't work :)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] novagol:
another gratitude post :)

just wanna say one big amazing thanks to the devs, you truly make this phone a whole new experience with this mod!

i remember first trying it while it was still in development, when froyo 2.2 was out and since then i reverted back to samsung stock and various other custom modified roms. after following the (now closed) thread and newly started development of cm7 when gingerbread came out, i finally decided to test this thing again with the most recent nightlies put up by the team and i must say, the experience on this rom is really something special... i don't think anything comes close to this in terms of smoothness, UI, responsiveness etc.

about the stability people have been asking, i personally think this is very close, if not already a RC. i use it daily, for browsing, gmail, some youtube and games (angry birds) and the battery life is good enough for me (it gives me a solid 36h). the camera is not that much of a deal as i rarely use it, also the headphone bug because i'm used to taking off my headphones anyways while making a call and don't talk through them if i happen to be listening to music at that time :)

keep up the good work on this truly amazing rom!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Solid 36h? Whats your setup? Modem/Kernel/UV? Please! Share!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chris2busy:
Guys im really tempted to try cm7 on my sgs bt i got a couple questions...is the camera app really as lousy as i hear it to be?judjing from my desire z, the difference from sense roms to cm was abysmal..

1 more thing..do we get hd recording @ 30 fps and hardware decoding of video? (divx etc) ?

Well done codeworkx and team, I'd been away from CM7 using MIUI and stock JVB and then MIUI again for a while but all the improvements over the last few days with the upgrade to 2.3.4 and the JVB source has pulled me back home to CM7.

I have to say its better than ever, only the N64 emulator has given me a reboot and with the tkglitch kernel its lightning fast.

I love CM7, looking forward to a slew of new nightlies
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] novagol:
i use stock kernel, JVK modem, as far as the performance settings go i havent changed anything (on demand CPU governor, JIT enabled, etc. i left them all on default), apart from that i use auto-brightness and i disable data connection when i'm not using it, i do keep auto-sync and background data enabled though, but i don't think it works if there is no internet connection, so it's the same if they would be turned off

Had to do a nice long ride tonight to go to a Qotsa concert, gave me a good test to see what the gps does now.

Had two hickups, first was a very short one near a large telescope site, 2nd was entering an area with large/high buildings, from there it took into the citycenter 3,5 minutes to get a good lock again.

Didn't notice this kind of behavior on 0501 or 0503 that heavy.
