Look I think it's the guys bad English that's getting a few of us offside. Ranting about status bar force closes that from what I can understand was a theme problem. Veteran or not I thought no bug.reports to do with 3rd party software/themes/kernels. Frist thing u do is try it stock to see if same issues are there. Then to call people stupid because we can't understand bad English?? I am sorry but I thought one of the points in the XDA noobs video was "speaka Da English".I don't need to waste mine or your time anymore. That's just how I see it

On topic. #88 running smoothly. Looks like charge while phone is off is working well. No issues at this point.

Great work everyone
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prembox:
Nope..I stick to what i said. There wasn't a bug in the first place... it was pure unwanted ranting ... outburst smackin eccentric behavior from someone who's "supposed to be using CM for long enough" to know abour respectin devs who'r actually helpin this community i.e. us and NOT crack at them like a rabid whiner... you with me on this one? ... yes, you are right about the other part...there are no issues if someone were to raise possible bugs/glitches concerning their code additions. This wasn't the case with Mel with his ultra unique set of issues with his SGS? was it? ""ROLL EYES""
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
same for me, but i suffered that issue already on froyo roms, so i guess this is a general bug that has not too much to do with cm7 itselfs. possibly related to some samsung proprietary stuff.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] manjee:
AFAIK, the kswap bug is related to memory management, if it's too high it means the kernel is trying to close background apps too often. You can try to modify the OOM settings, for example you can use Juwe11 script which seems well optimized.

Hope that helps :)

You dont understand sarcasm... I speak English for more years than you have of life... :rolleyes:

I call stupid because I have been called stupid first, using or not using the word...

The Theme always worked and still works, except with that nightly, it is stupid to blame the theme, not the nightly, IMHO...

It worked with #87 and it works with #88, both back to very little battery drain, unlike #84 and #86...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Exccentric behaviour is when you guys report that if you hang a call while standing on your head and pressing the home button the phone blah, blah, blah...

The status bar force closing was a bug that went away with the next nightly, sorry to say that you CM7 is not perfect, but then, neither am I or you for that matter...

I did thank the developpers donating, did you ? Maybe you feel you owe them and make this pathetic attempts of defending them, if they know how to attack, they are probably well able to defend themselves too...

Hm, for fun I downloaded the latest ADW launcher from the Market, and it flies in comparison do the one in CM7 08132011 with the same settings. Anyone else experiencing the same?

I've quite a lot of apps and the app scrolling (verical) is not smooth at all on stock CM7. (regardless of kernels)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Did you get the free version from the market, or the EX version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fackamato:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
No. And if you're good enough to look over gerrit, look over the teamhacksung kernel logs too and avoid asking questions like this.

Note to over-night chargers:

EDIT: Removed. Does not appear to be true
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
that's what i get from being lazy. thanks man, i'll be sure to avoid them :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
By USB I assume you mean plugged into a PC as opposed to into the mains.

I admit I never saw what the need was for the phone to be off while charging...and looking at the limitations I see it even less. This seems like a problematic solution to a nonexistent problem.

I assume we can just leave our phone on while charging, and it will behave as it always has, yes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ingbrzy:
Here is charging with the charger during night (build 86)... it is OK for me... just have to check "where battery is" before unplug...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
thanx for looking into this, seems i was right with my assumptions, just did not think of the difference bitween charging from a wall charger and a usb wall adapter...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
I'm talking about charged overnight vs unplug when full.

Our phones is never "off" while charging. Even in low power mode, the linux kernel is running. That is because the charging controller is running in the linux kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
OK, you have lost me.

Every night I plug my phone in to a USB cable plugged into a wall adapter. I leave the phone on. In the morning it is fully charged.

Are you telling me that now it will not charge my phone properly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
i thought that when phone got fully charged, it started discharging until user unplugs and replugs charger again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
It will. I'm just saying don't try that if you're not using an AC adapter recognized by the phone. (Check Settings -> About Phone -> Status). If you're not charging with a recognized AC adapter, you can end up with the battery as low as 60%. (Verses 9x% if you unplugged it when full.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Uss_Defiant:
Yeah, look at the light values in the cm custom auto brightness settings... It only gives a value of 10 or 160, which is not accurate.

Prior CM versions and samsung rom's actually have accurate sensor results. This is really screwing with auto brightness levels being too dark and not having enough screen brightness levels relative to ambient light.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I have never seen that behavior. For me it hits 100 and stays there until I remove the charger.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Red_Vex:
I want thanks you for all the work you've done. I'd like to have half of your skills:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:

I am not blaming anyone, I am just saying we should brace for a few weeks of "I pluggggged my phone to my PC now he is at 30%....hhalllppppp" posts.

I appretiate the work that went into the change, whoever did it, but to me this sounds more like a new bug than a fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
It has been this way for a very loooooooooooong time. I'm just saying what could happen (at least if I read the code correctly).

There is no change to the battery code.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
It has never happened to me, and I keep my phone plugged into my PC most days at my desk.

I have never seen anyone say their phone charges differently when plugged into their PC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
Then that's great! :)

Maybe another part of the driver code is overriding the setting that I have seen. Haven't had the time to perform a proper test yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Excellent....good news.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
If it is like i think it is, you wont even realize it is down to 60%. It will show 100% when u unplug and then go down to 0 as it was fully charged, but faster. That is what i am talking about for a (felt) week now...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
It definitely is, that's why i didn't stop ranting about that. I think this is the main cause of battery drain complaints nowadays. And you will only see it on idle drain rates. If i charge overnight i get idle drain of 3%+/hour, where if i unplug it when fully charged i get 1%/3hours or even better sometimes.

----------------------------------------

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
Using the AC adapter?

EDIT: Try rebooting after you unplug and post what happens. Did the percentage suddenly go lower after the reboot or did it stop draining or is everything the same?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
I am not entirely sure ATM, but i think it happens with AC adapter as well. Will charge overnight today and report back tomorrow.

1. is nandroid backup is backup in CWM ?

2. if i use rom manager would it backup for me before flash or just wipe all ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
You can use nandroid to do a backup of your current rom, however, you'd not be able to restore it directly while u are on cm7 due to different partitioning. you have to flash a Samsung rom with Odin and then restore your backup. But i am pretty sure u will never go back to a Samsung rom... ever...

I asked this earlier but I think I asked during the middle of a flame war so I'll try again:

Does anyone know how to extract bootloaders off a Samsung package? I'd like to use the GB bootloaders from the Bell KG3 2.3 release for the I9000M but the package only includes Sbl.bin and not boot.bin (which, from what I've read, we need to have).

I can create the Odin-flashable package, I just need to know where to get boot.bin from, if it's not included with the package.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mbutandola:
Hi guys,

Is there a way to launch apps quicker? I mean when the app is not in the ram it takes sometimes ages to open them up with the screen remaining dark for a while. Whether it be settings, go sms pro, go contacts etc.

I'm using Go launcher ex.

Thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
yeah...buy a quad core phone aka "KAL-EL"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Not all ROMs include primary bootloaders. Anyway, all modern GB bootloaders are essentially the same, there is no advantage that I know of in seeking one from a certain ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mbutandola:
Instead of being patronizing you should just ignore me right!

Just wanted to know if there was a way to load apps faster. I'm not a dev or whatever If you think my question is stupid or not worth answering just skip it!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kraven001:
Reflash didn't help. I tried it over and over again, comes up as usual with big proc usage. Actually did some flashing that went haywire (no idea how) and reset various settings in CM, some features were not working (like lockscreen), lost configurations (sound settings, ringtone, haptic settings, etc) and ended up restoring from backup.

I would not go as far as doing a factory reset :( I would really like to stay on stock kernel; would prefer stability against bold choices that add arguable performance boosts with custom kernels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
The Bell bootloaders, from what I can tell/remember, have specific tweaks for the I9000M to prevent the internal SD card failure which plagued many I9000Ms during the switch to Froyo, hence why I'm hesitant to use a different one.

So my question now: can I flash the secondary bootloader without boot.bin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] francomile:
I can't see the advantage either...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
i used to leave it overnight on the charger, when i got to it in the morning it dropped from 100 to 95 or even less sometimes. :| either a non-brand wall charger i was using at the time caused it or miscalibrated battery did; maybe it relates to what FadeFx is describing. now i charge it while i'm awake, using samsung charger.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
Those bootloaders haven't been modified by Samsung to address the internal SD card corruption with the particular memory chip exclusive to the I9000Ms. I'd rather not use a different bootloader and have my internal SD card die on me and be forced to go through the hell that is Samsung support (again), or buy a new phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I am not sure about the bell issue...but no you need the primary file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JJustin:
My first Bell phone had the problem you are talking about. Something was wrong with the Canadian I9000M which was causing the internal SD or something to basically die when flashing a new firmware. Apparently the Froyo bootloaders fixed this issue. For my phone, I got a new replacement phone with manufacture date Dec. 2010. Did you get a replacement as well? I think the newer ones do not have this problem anymore as I have been flashing many ROMS and using various GB bootloaders for the past 6 months or so. I'm currently on JVR bootloader, CM7 nightly 88, and the new bell KG3 modem.

The new nightly is running well. There were a few posts pages back mentioning the accidental trigger of the back button while playing games like fruit ninja, this problem is fixed. I will see how well the updated kernel handles ram management, i felt that in #85 the minimum free memory was a bit low for my liking.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
That is normal due to the fix which allows the battery to read 100 even though it can only charge to around 96 as a safety precaution.

The 100 is just cosmetic and quickly drops to around 96, but it shut the noobs up for a bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I would suggest a small amount of overclocking, say to 1200. That should give your phone a little more snap when launching apps.

Sounds to me like ur rom isn't running properly. My apps open very fast and I'm not oc'd .

A factory reset and reflash the rom would help here. Back up apps first though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
There is no difference. You must have had another problem which was being masked. Or else a placebo effect.

The last known change to bootloaders was ...if memory serves me correct....jvb/jvo and that was the sbl.bin.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
If I were you I'd start fresh with a clean install.

1. Flash jm9 eclair (great rom for clearing bugs and give u a clean base) with .512 pit & repartition.

2. Flash a stock GB rom. (Preferably recent one ).

3. Do a hard reset ( type *2767*3855# into the dialer.) ..***.make sure everything is backed up first***

4.Then Flash cm7.

This method is recommended by Samsung themselves.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Its fact....the bootloaders are EXACTLY the same. I'm confused about ur situation now too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jimbo77:
I'll try to proof your point. I've the JVH bootloaders and i'm having 2~6% /Hour battery draing been idle. So i'll try them and see if that solves the issue. I've done almost everything, from Flashing stock JVH to having the phone in one hand while doing the rain dance and the Battery calibration ritual "/sarcasm" :rolleyes: but yet the drain persist...

So this may worth a try...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Quick question for the die-hards.....

How well does cm7 handle memory management? Is there a need for a task killer? If so...which one is recommended.?

I used to use task manager on stock rom to free up memory from time to time cause GB is much more memory hogging than froyo was.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Hmmmm......ok.....if ur rom runs right maybe o/c might help then.

Back after a few weeks

So, I just got back from my honeymoon in San Francisco and (as a very smart fellow xda-er suggested) I haven't looked at the thread for pretty much the entire time. Nice to see things are still good here. Rschenck has lost none of his ability for prose, Silky_dude is still a helpful smack-talkin' hero and King Metal still has trouble with SD cards... Melorib is not as happy with but still pretty happy with battery life and all is right in the world.

As for me, I just flashed GB BL and KG3.

Good times:)

BTW, I had a great experience while in the US. I forgot to apply any roaming packages while out of Canada so I downloaded the SGS unlock App, unlocked my phone and bought a prepaid SIM from T-mobile. Can you even do that with an iPhone?!

Anyhoo, nice to be back;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Francois88:
My i9000m also bricked during the froyo switch. They replaced it with a new one identified as GT-i9000 not GT-i9000m. Been wondering if they actually just switched all their stock to the standard international model afterward.

Couz as far as I know, running cm7 with gb bootloaders external sd card dose not work only if the kernel support that or something similar!?? Correct me if I am wrong!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cytherean:
Personal opinion(and from what I've read), there was coding issues with the SBL which caused the whole issue. I think that if we (all Bell users) were rooted and on custom roms, we would have never seen the problem. I know when I sent mine in to the samsung service center, it was fixed in about 15 minutes and the docs reported a "low level factory reset" which was probably just a factory reset and then flashed with the new rom. After that I tried and tried to crash the phone but I just couldn't do it. All hail Samsung! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dfolt:
Support for external_sd at gingerbread bootloaders have:

- Stock CM7 kernel from Nightly #77 and upper

- Platypus Kernel from Neo Redux v5 and upper
