Hi guys,

After a clean install of cm7 is there any settings under cm7 settings>performance that's needs to be changed?

I got only the 2 first ones ticked.. any need to tick or untick any of those settings?

Thanks ahead..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoro33:
Maybe it's, but even my 10 year old Nokia already had this feature ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Likely because your 10 year old Nokia predated the laws, or it was made to be sold in markets that secret Call Recording.

However it is a moot point since the Devs effectively said "It will never be in CM7 and we don't have to justify our decision to you pukes. Now get back out there and give the Zerg hell".
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moslem63:
which kernel is fast and stable ............
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Those are selected by default I believe, and that is fine...you are good to go. No configuration needed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Is there portrait mode available? I can't find it :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikextr23:
Just want to ask. Is there a way to track my data usage on my sgs i9000? Coz right now, i'm refraining from toggling it to off as doing so will make my phone app force closes all the time. That's what happened to me yesterday so i restored from my previous backup. But now, i'm concerned that i might use up all of my data in a blink of an eye if i don't keep track of it.

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
as rschenck saied it will never be implemented. however, cm7 is open source, so you could still take the source, hack call recording in and use that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Hmmm...first of all it should not FC anything when you toggle data off, I do it all the time. I would change modems and reflash the latest nightly to see if that fixes it.

Secondly, I use 3G Watchdog to keep track of my mobile usage and it does a great job. There is no such feature built into CM7 natively.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
All of them...though if you have GB bootloaders wait for v12 of Glitch before trying it out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] liranvaknin:
Doe's it matter if I flashed ezboot gb bootloader or jvr or jvq and so on?

I mean, what's the difference between jvr and jvq and ezboot..

They all gb bl and not modems. so what's the difference?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikextr23:
Thanks bro. That's what i thought as well as i was running nightly 77 yesterday with jvk default modem when i did the data toggling. I was under the impression that it was fixed long time ago. I am running kc1 right now as jvk doesn't work on my fido sim for data usage. It took me awhile to realize it as when i asked the guys from fido what frequency they use, they just gave me that startling look and and asked me what the hell i'm talking about! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
There is no difference between the JVR and JVQ bootloaders. All modern bootloaders for GB are the same save for the name of the firmware they were ripped out of.

However, the EZ-Boot file contains a kernel and should not be flashed if you already have CM7 installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hrithan2020:
Hi All,

Right now , I am running CM7 nightly #80. I am not running stock kernel [ Neo Redux] or stock modem [JV5, which reportedly works much better in my area], but would really appreciate it if someone know solution to my problem.

The issue is that , whenever I receive a call, [from a new number] the other person is not able to hear me for the first 20 seconds.

Any idea , what could be causing the issue ? I vaguely remember such an issue being posted in CM7 nightly thread, but don't remember what was the solution..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wrsg:
sorry no time to go through 1200+ pages, but is anyone else getting low call volume? specifically when using a handsfree?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Remember that when people talk about a "data toggling" bug on CM7 they mean a bug that means you can't use a widgit to toggle between 2G and 3G. The toggle to turn data on or off has always worked fine, afaik.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The solution is "wait for it to go away". No one knows why the problem appears for some users not and then. Some people suggest changing modems, others suggest using a custom kernel. Either way, it seems to also go away on its own.

It is just a bit of a mystery...however look on the bright side, when you call someone back it shows them you care about what they had to say.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I have heard it mentioned now and again, but not consistently enough to consider it an issue. Try redoing the connection to the handsfree, or switching to a different modem. You can also use DSPManager to increase call volume on a headset, I believe.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hrithan2020:
Lol.. So, it is some random bug, which occurs to a small section of CM7 SGS users, for which there is no definite solution?

Hm.. will try changing my modem to ZSJPG, and see.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
This has nothing to do with Galaxy S specific issues, as the dialer pertains to all CM7 devices.

PLEASE do not post CM7 feature requests or +1's here. Not only will it make the regulars here savage you with their rapier-like wits and total lack of human decency, but your requests will NEVER be read by anyone who can do you any good. Do you really think TeamDouche reads this forum, dredging through endless "Dood, cm batery suk bazd, Darky stuuf beter + mak my dingus feel goooood" posts?

Go to http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/ and post about it...or better yet, make the changes to the Dialer yourself if you know how and submit the code to CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
RocketDial has all Samsung dialer nice functions, I asked and they added... :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikextr23:
I don't know why it happened in my case. i did toggle the data from settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks>data enable then after that, got phone.apk force close. maybe because i was using a modem that doesn't support 850mhz that time (jvk)? I don't know. i will try to toggle again but will do backup first just in case :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
i was following this one up close. Pawit is doing some serious work here, i had already thought of building again and merging it to see how that works for us. i'll do that today (almost at the end of full cycle).

edit: i'm still following this one, i really would like this in wireless settings :)

edit2: reading description from change related to libcamera.so, i got the file posted by Pawit from mediafire, now i should just overwrite current /vendor/samsung/galaxysmtd/proprietary/libcamera.so with that one (already did 'repo download') and build is that it??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
I think this could be to do with jv5/9 modem. I had this on jv5 and jv9 GB roms a while back. It went away in newer roms. I'd try a newer modem.

I've bought this on it recommendation and it works pretty well. Far better and nicer looking than stock.

I think the OP on this topic is right though. The cm7 dialer , calendar message app and...and...I just know I'm leaving out something.... are all very bland with only very basic features . Samsung wins out here.

But its only a small price to pay in my opinion ....

Every CM7 user has a favorite "thing I miss/want/need" about the stock CM dialer. For me it was speed dialer and a usable search in contacts...and it rapidly became a need.

Therefore I use GO Dialer/GO Contacts/GO SMS Pro and love them all. If I had to take a poll I bet very few CM7 users actually still use the CM stock dialer/contacts/messaging apps, especially not power users.

i just did a feature request for touchpal dialer to implement swipe to call/sms... eventually some others should also request that if desired...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hrithan2020:
True. But, the first time I came to CM7, I was metaphorically shocked by the rather bland stock apps. So once I went back, I forced myself to get accustomed to Go SMS/Mobo player etc, so that the transition to CM7 would be smoother..

Now, I at least understand, why most of the manufacturers make customizations. Some of the google's stock apps are nowhere near the custom ones.

@rschenck,

Are you using Go Contacts Ex now? I switched to Ex and am finding that the theme gets reset everytime. very annoying :mad:..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No I am not using the EX versions...the devs are very helpful however and will likely answer you directly if you contact them with a problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
If you need to ask where to find a stock ROM or how to flash via Odin, you had no business flashing ANYTHING let alone CM7.

Go to the general forum, read the tutorials and educate yourself. At this point the only thing wrong with your phone is YOU...though fortunately you can fix that with a little reading.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
First rule of cm7 ....NO ETA'S. Just watch the change log.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
You have a LOT of reading to do. Stay on stock until you have worked out what you are doing. You will have a much better experience that way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] krarvind:
you need to do some reading in general Q&A on how to flash. Odin does not give you CWM recovery, you need a kernel ( essentially zImage) installed via odin to get that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] john321:
holding the menu key on the dialer brings up the contacts search for me... just make sure it's activated in CM settings.

Is there an option to format internal SD card? I'm on MIUI but I want to have a completely clean phone once I come back to CM. For some reason the option to format SD card is greyed out for me and I really don't want to flash a stock rom and then CM.

I'm already on GB BL.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] krarvind:
you should be able to format it in cwm recovery but that would delete the cm7 zip file if you have it in the root of sd card i think. best would be to install cm7 first and then format sd when you are booted up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] utsmaster18:
Yeah thats what I just did. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sssparkkk:
Tried CM7 for the first time today; and I must say: it's very smooth. Starting/switching apps and general smoothness is way better compared to the samsung-based roms.

However, HD video recording does indeed show stuttering every few seconds; it makes the feature pretty useless.

I'm wondering, is it even known what is causing the stuttering? Is it IO or CPU related? Maybe it's "just" a priority-problem where the camera-app is not allowed to grab more resources than other apps?

Are there any workarounds (except for decreasing the resolution/framerate or using lgcamera) - perhaps a different kernel, overclocking or changing IO-schedulers?

It's a shame really, CM7 really runs awesome on the SGS... but this issue is probably a dealbreaker for many people (including myself I'm afraid).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Red_Vex:
There's not any workaround except that you say.

Maybe is there something on the way but not for now.

Hi. I'm very good at CM7. Only 1 question.

When I shift my finger, screen to back button. (If I'm at stock rom) Back button doesnt work. It blocks for wrongly pressing. (my bad english I wish you understand me)

In cm7 I can press back button wrongly because when I shift my finger screen to back button, the button works. How can I fix it?

I wish I understood you, too. However, I am totally clueless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
I think he says that when he accidentally moves his finger from screen to 'back' button on stock ROM nothing happens - it is recognised as accidental. But on CM7 it works and screws whatever he was doing.

Beats me - I've never noticed that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] utsmaster18:
I already flashed the gapps from 0613 but it didn't update for me.

Why are you warning against the new market. I thought it was much better than the old one. Much faster, organized, and looked better as well. I thought that it would update on its own like the previous update.

What's a signature?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Yes, which is why I said to flash the Gapps from July. If you think back, the new market wasn't yet released in June...therefore how could it have been included in the zip file?

I also like the look of the new Market, as it is much more similar to the Honeycomb tablet version. However, many people have had trouble with the new market, being informed that they don't have enough space to download or update apps...the only solution is to revert to the older market, which is what I had to do when I had that problem.

Hi there.

Just flashed back to cm nightly 83...i was on darky. Reverted back to froyo bl and flashed via recovery as i always done. Installations gone smooth ecc ecc...BUT....i wiped data 2 times because of a com.android.phone FC loop. Now I'm setting all another time hoping all will works fine.

I noticed that the 2g/3g button in the settings doesn't work well, sometimes it works, sometimes not. I also noticed that if I press the button in settings the widget in the status bar doesn't change simultaniously. So i have only 2g enabled in settings and 3g in the status bar...could this be a related issue?
