Fair enough. Then perhaps I could suggest, as a way to cut down on misunderstanding and to make it easier to get helpful answers, the following for everyone asking questions...

When asking a question, include the following information:

The problem summed up in a sentence or two. (i.e. "My phone makes strange ticking noises and takes pictures at random...")

Any searches you have done for information and the results (i.e., "Searched for A, B and C...found <POST URL> but it didn't answer my question")

What you have done so far ("I fixed permissions and tried the solution I found at <POST URL> to no avail"

What you think you should do next. ("I am thinking of doing a factory reset")

That way we will have the best chance to answer you with useful information and a minimum of snark.

I didn't actually have the problem, I was just trying to fill in the gaps for the people who did have the problem, who maybe might not have known which setting you meant.

Riso, I suggest you note a person's post number and thanks meter before you begin deciding who is trolling...and who is flaming. I also wish to point out that the mods keep fairly close track of this thread and delete the posts they feel they should.

Hmmm...try uninstalling updates for the market and see if that helps.

Also, if you have Titanium Backup, try using the market tools there.

Its easy for a troll to score points from fellow trolls and rake up post count with a mixture of positive and negative posts. Lets face it though, it doesn't mean that person is always right. By that logic a politician could never be wrong lol.

Leaving the thread now, unroll the next nightly update, so ferrel free to continue arguing with my opinion and suggestions, however I won't reply as I have said all I wanted.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drakenabarion:
That's been an unpleasant few hundred posts to read through. I don't post a lot but it is clear from just a little reading who is or isn't helpful in this thread. Some people really do think they are more equal to others!

Also making claims that this "behaviour" doesn't exist elsewhere is like lying. Like many people, I have spent time closely following other threads. New users ALSO go to those other threads and ask stupid questions. Do you think they are greeted with open arms and given all the answers for questions they ask? No they are most certainly not. They get told to use search and someone might point them in the right direction in perhaps a not so friendly manner... i.e. in pretty much the exact same way as here. To think that it is unique to this thread is deluded.

However you will not see people post things like "my rom is better, is blazing fast and cures cancer while your rom sucks" (often not true when said BTW) or "my kernal is the most super oprimised and is Theeeee best". No here there are many different kangs and kernals which are NOT trying to compete with each other. On the rom side of things, People really DO try to work together rather than competing. It is very much a community. Don't come in here making a drama just because people don't throw a party when you arrive.

(Summary, people across all XDA ask stupid questions and they are answered the same here as everywhere else - get over it!)

(I speak for just myself and have never ever felt like I needed to through words around such as "speak for the community" to add weight to arguments).

Here is a suggestion (flame me if you like :-P ). Maybe instead of posting words in reply to those questions that have been asked infinity+1 times, perhaps just post a screenshot of search results relating to the question. Might be a little extra work initially but the idea might be visual enough to make people see that search does work. :-)

I have some problems with 7.1

Hi, I run 7.1-stable on my Galaxy S and I have three problems:

1. Wifi works for some time, then it disconnects and it doesn't work anymore until I restart the phone

2. Bluetooth doesn't turn ON at all

3. every time I install a nightly, I loose Maps and Talk (but not Gmail)

Anyone having one (or more) of these problems with Galaxy S + cm7.1?

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dr. Strange:
The metaphor of using search for 1337, helpful, arrogant and rude regulars

Using search is most times like trying to read a map drawn by untrained monkeys, trained monkeys, 4th graders, liberal arts students and in some patches, a cartographer;the map has then been ripped into tinny pieces and thrown into the wind.

You have this magic ability (the fabled search feature on forums) to bring all the pieces back to you, so you can start putting the map back together.

After you do put it back together try making out where the hell you are. I hope you landed on a patch drawn by the cartographer...

So use search eh, how hard can it be?

*Give the n00bs a break will you? Work on being nice to lesser beings why dontcha?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jose.celestino:
The search is broken again? Damn those admins...

Setting -> CyanogenMod settings -> Applications -> Use internal storage

toggle it.

EDIT: Not a while back, via SEARCH THIS THREAD: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18528445&postcount=19993

So the search does work. But must agree with Dr. Strange that it isn't the most friendly thing to use, or practical or time saving.

I don't get upset with people who try and search and fail, then ask the forum (through at times I will do the search myself just to be sure it works)...I get upset with people who use the Forum as their first line of search ("I will ask my questions, you peons search for the answer...and peel me a grape while I do important things like play Angry Birds").

i forgot to thank you on this. no, that wasn't what i was asking, /device/samsung/galaxysmtd/galaxysmtd.mk didn't have SamsungServiceMode under ProductPackages, at the time i asked. that crespo commit showed me that. so i was just looking for confirmation. you may not be a cm dev, but at least you tried to help and even suggested an alternative. after repo sync today, SamsungServiceMode is there, that was a nice surprise :D I didn't build the apk, but i wasn't at home, spent the weekend off.

Thanks a lot. I did a quick test and here is my result:

1. Wifi is a router problem, my laptop is having problems as well. I had 14ch and Never-sleep policy. So this should be OK :)

2. logcat unfortunately doesn't say anything when I try to turn Bluetooth ON, I already reported to cm forums, but no answer yet.

3. I wonder if I reinstall gapps, I will loose the apps data I had from before?

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
1- glad you traced it

2- try reflashing to latest nightly, just format /system before you flash it, you won't loose any user data or apps installed; if you want to go back to "stable" again, just format /system again and reflash; (edit: if it still doesn't work, i'd factory reset and reflash)

3- same as 2, you won't loose any user data or apps installed.

Thanks for the hints on having to change Modem to get better GPS.

Regarding the other answers, i'm not really in the mood for feeding trolls. This is a Forum, where people post what they know, where people ask for others help when you just don't know where to look for, and where no one gets paid.

There are people that just can't understand this. I'm not really a noob on Android, i have thousands of posts on XDA and other Android forums, and i asked for some help on this GPS thing. What i got from some users was rudness telling me to "use search" ... nice way to help me. Because i'm stupid and i din't searched before posting for help, right? :rolleyes:

End of discussion, it wasn't my intention to troll this thread, and please forgive me if i was rude because my GPS doesn't work properly ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No worries, and sorry if I jumped on you. However, I think you have seen that plenty of people don't search before posting. Some out of ignorence, some stupidity, other who just don't feel THEY need to.

That some of us have a thin skin about it after months of similar situations (and a lot of recent trolling) may not be ideal, but it is also pretty human. I'm sorry you got painted with the wrong brush.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racecane:
Why?

I am just someone who has CM7 on my SGS. I can use search and i have the knowhow, so i do not need help. But i am amazed about the answers some people (so called regulars) give to people who do not have the knowhow. Just rude and belongs on the schoolyard, but i know better now. Cut people some slack that donot have the time and knowhow like those kids with no lives.

And like somebody allready said, if you do not want to give a answer or if you think it is a stupid question, let it be and do not say anything at all and let a other give the answer but do not be rude and pretend like you know it all.

I found some of the answers to my earlier questions, such as getting orientation toggle in the notification pull down, by searching through the forums.

Now I know it's a different framework all together, but there isn't some way of getting the dialer and contacts .apk's working? It's just that I keep seeing in the changelog mentions of a SamsungService, which might allow these to work? Just my thoughts.

If not, what would you recommend as a replacement? I really dislike the default contacts and dialers, and thought the samsung ones were perfect. Little touches like merging contacts quicker and also sending a text when you receive a call are hard to miss. Even if you can't get them working, some replacement recommendations would be nice. I've tried Go Contacts, which is ok, but too advanced and cluttered for me.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No there is no way to get Samsung dialer and contacts to work without the samsung framework. Others have tried. The Samsung Service Mode additions afaik will allow the use of Samsung testing codes, but that is likely all...and no knowing when those will be applied anyway.

My advice if you do not like GO dialer would either be rocket dialer, which I have heard good things about, or simply search for Dialer in the Market and install things that look likely for testing. Most diapers are free, or at least have a free mode...though now that I think on it I seem to remember Rocket is pay only.

Either way, I am sure there must be a dialer that would fit your needs on the market.

<twocents>I'm back to #153. Ever since #155, I've been experiencing random FCs on random applications. I've tried everything I can think of (factory reset, clear cache/ dalvic, reset permissions, re-flash) but no luck. As another poster pointed out, flashing every single nightly release is not good practice and for me, #153 was the last stable release so I'm gonna stick with it for a while.

</twocents>

In other news, I'd like to bump my question about MX Player from earlier. Some have reported that it works well on CM7 (with hardware acceleration), but I get a Hardware Not Supported error. Any ideas?

Update: Correction, now that I am back on #153, MX Player is working. Go figure...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drakenabarion:
I recommend Rocket Dialer. I used many others but this one is in many ways very similar feature wise to Samsung stock. Some additional differences are nice too like adding T9 keys to the dialer in multiple different languages.

Rschenck, there is also a free version of Rocket :-)

Can video encoding resolution be changed?

I think my post got ignored in the battle, so I'll just rephrase it, sorry if I'm doing anything wrong:

I was wondering whether a lower, 16:9 resolution could be selected for video recording, say 1024x576, instead of the fugly 720x480. I think it would be a good compromise until 720p is fixed (if ever), as with less bitrate and overhead it would be less likely to skip frames.

I tried changing the media profiles file, but videos came out too stretched, so obviously more changes are needed. Would that be feasible, or am I talking out of my anus?

Has anyone else faced data corruption? It seems to happen when my battery dies... but I thought being on EXT4 (Or whatever we are on...) would have journalling, or at least some kind of protection. This has happened multiple times, on multiple nightlies.

It doesnt appear to be normal corruption, there are SQLite I/O errors all over the place, and then a java IO exception saying there is no space on the device (there definitly is).

Does the filesystem really have no protection?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] anoneemooz:
Pretty strange. I switched to 155 recently and both MXPlayer and Dice Player (Trial..might buy it if I really notice it being better than MX) worked fine for me. Perhaps an issue with an incorrect entry in build.prop? I had a similar issue with a game before and decided to pull a build.prop from my previous ROM and replace and the problem somehow got fixed.

153 on the other hand was working fine for me for a while but then after I rebooted my phone on a whim, I got framework (gapps) related fc's all over the place even with fixing permissions, cache/dalvik wipe, etc. so I was forced to try out the next nightly which thankfully has been behaving well for me.

Yeah I ought to stop flashing every nightly lol. I lost my entire TitaniumBackup folder once when I had it stored on my external. Just that folder. That was on 152. Huge pain the arse it was to re-download all my favorite apps because restoring from nandroid rarely works for me for some reason so I had to manually restore my data.

Thank heavens for AppExtractor and unyaffs (or whatever you call it). Totally recommend having those on hand for frequent flashers.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The CyanogenMod website calls the SGS unsupported because technically this is still a beta and not part of the mainline.

However it is very close now, with very few outstanding issues to deal with. In my opinion, the dedicated devs and community, the insane performance and the vast customization options far outweigh the few small hiccups that we have now and again. Besides, as I am a gearhead at heart, I love the tinkering and regular updating.

If as you say, you aren't afraid of the rare FC now and again, and understand what "work in progress" means, then you will feel right at home with CM7.
