[Vibrant Android Development] archie53:
Downloaded and installed 5/4 update and so far so good.
[Vibrant Android Development] xanderdad:
No bugs to report here with 5/4 yet either. Very smooth.
[Vibrant Android Development] wyvernwaddell:
No unknown bugs in 5/4 update so far. Brightness works quite nicely.
[Vibrant Android Development] romitkin:
I have tried to flash the new update as usual...

Got this :

Checked MD5 and it's OK.

Any ideas? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Carlos1970:
I flashed with no errors a first time but the version still showed 05032011.

Got the same error when ran it the socond time.

Other than the version info (which is not a big deal) I do not have any problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] MLIGN:
i keep getting the failed error!?! Ive tried to flash this several times and i keep getting it! :( help?
[Vibrant Android Development] archie53:
Did you try redownloading? Maybe something went wrong with the download? Been running fine for about 2 hours and installed the first time for me, also I have downloaded the wrong file before, for another device, captivate whatever, check to make sure you didn't do that.
[Vibrant Android Development] MLIGN:
Ill try but honestly this is like my 4th time redownloading. it just keeps getting stuck at this part for me. followed this guide to a T Here
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Make sure you are actually downloading a file that has "Vibrant" in the filename . . . your symptoms are of downloading a GalaxyS update.
[Vibrant Android Development] MLIGN:
Nope, I downloaded this one "update-cm-7-05042011-NIGHTLY-Vibrant-signed" placed it on the ROOT of my INTERNAL SD CARD. And yet I still get an error. ?
[Vibrant Android Development] romitkin:
The file that I have downloaded:

update-cm-7-05042011-NIGHTLY-Vibrant-signed

clearly fits to my device. From the official sourceforge page....

I go on a trip tomorrow so if the problem doesn't get fixed until then : will the 05/03 update make a big impact on the battery?

can I downgrade to 05/01 if necessary?

Thanks.

Well, atleast now Atin is not dependent on our illogical and no logcat no kmesg suggestion of errors. He can actually get on developing all by himself and debug at his own end without getting bugged by our stupid bug reports... Lolzz
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
confirming that Blacklisting numbers is bugged. When a blacklisted number calls the phone will ring/vibrate endlessly and a reboot is required. I'm reading up on the instructions to produce a logcat so I can post it. Be back in a bit.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Is there a kernel for more ram?
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
this doesn't make sense, you don't just get more ram from a kernel

what are you trying to achieve?
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
Im going to try this rom. Im currently using Bionix, hope this works faster.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
It's not faster. In fact the 3D is slower. Research the 2.3.4 features and what CM7 brings to the table and decide on that.
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
Atin, do you find that having a phone on-hand is helping a lot in the development process?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
U actually u do if u look at overstock it has 341mb of ram an I'm trying to achieve smother performance an that small amount of ram comes in handy
[Vibrant Android Development] romitkin:
You might want to try this:

But when a ney nightly is released you will have to wait until this kernel updates, or it might not work properly. That's only if the new nightly includes any driver updates.
[Vibrant Android Development] treyvaporizer:
Ok so the 5/11 nightly worked well. Except for the battery. It was sporadic and went UP and down. Yes UP. I hated it so I switched to the 5/4 nightly and now I am getting media and camera force closes. How can I fix either one if these. (Preferably I would like to know how to fix the battery indicator on the 5/11 nightly but if I can fix these FC's that would be great!

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Someone else reported this issue a few pages back. I don't remember what the fix was. I'll see if I can find it for you.

Edit: Sorry, I can't find the solution. And, I don't think you'll have any luck searching this thread for battery issues.

I want to say that the solution was to reflash again for the battery issue. For the camera FCs, go into settings>applications>camera and clear the data. See if that resolves the issue.

I'm not sure about the media FCs.
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
Hi, i just installed the last CM7 INITIAL, do i also have to install the last CM7 NIGHTLY? Or thats just for users with an older version of CM7? :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
If you have the latest initial you dont have to install the latest nightly, they are the same version. You can verify by going to settings, about phone, mod version. The date should match the latest nightly. If it an earlier version, then just flash the latest nightly. It wont wipe.
[Vibrant Android Development] archie53:
You do need to flash the newest nighlty and only the newest.

[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hi again,

I've seen it come up a few times in other threads, but nobody ever really got to the bottom of it. There was another thread a few weeks ago about trying to move /datadata partition to MoviNAND, but I don't think it ever actually got anywhere.

That said, well, I have easily 20-30 apps installed, and my /datadata partition is only 67% full, so I don't have any FC issues like the ones that have been mentioned. And it really depends on the apps too. For example, "B&N Nook" takes up (by far) the most space in /datadata for me, over 20MB between all its folders, the next highest is "reddit is fun" at about 10mb of cache, etc.

Most everything else though is just a couple hundred KB, so no big deal for me.

Cheers, :)
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Im confused. Is this an actually database partition or all of the data for these apps? I just checked the applications settings and for example, Google Earth was about 20MB. I moved it to SD and it went down to 652KB. What exactly happen when I moved it?

Now /datadata says:

/dev/block/mtdblock6 172.0M 146.1M 25.9M 85% /datadata
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hi again,

I'm really not an expert, but like, on most android phones, you have a single data partition (/data), with a folder for apps (/data/app) and a folder for apps to store their data (/data/data) including caches, settings, databases, etc.

On CM7 for SGS, /datadata is used for anything that normally would be stored in /data/data because our /data partition is on the MoviNAND and like I mentioned earlier, most developers say its incredibly slow to read and write to MoviNAND. So even though we have ~1.8GB of space for user applications to be installed (/data) we only have 172MB for app data storage (this includes system data too like contacts, calendar data, etc.) on /datadata.

So when you moved the google earth data to the sdcard, it moved all the cache data, etc., to a folder on your sdcard somewhere, and out of the /datadata partition. There might still be a handful of small files there for Google Earth for settings, etc., but the cache data that was eating up a lot of space is now on the sdcard somewhere (/mnt/sdcard/somewhere) instead.

Does that make sense? I hope I'm not confusing you :(

Cheers, :)
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Thanks for the detailed response. What you are saying makes sense but I dont understand why I never had this issue with pre-Gingerbread ROMs.

I wish a dev would respond to this issue, considering it seems like others have issues based on post on this thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] Locksmith81:
Pre gingerbread = MoviNand Gingerbread = datadata

For data storage
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
So is there a way to increase the datadata or is the only option to manually install to SD?
[Vibrant Android Development] vahdyx:
Damn, of course the solution is over my head lol. Damn I don't even know how to look at my shell. Dammit...
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
I think that if we could increase the size of /datadata easily, it would have already been done. Currently, to the best of my knowledge, the only fix is to move apps to the SD card or delete apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
What about apps (well games in my case) that require 500MB and wont allow you to move to SD?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
don't use poorly made apps
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
What does the size of a game have to do with the quality of the game? Some of these games are HD 3D games, doesnt make them poorly written.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tylerspilker:
Ive been getting insufficient space notices with no apps installed (factory fresh) with 5% used in /datadata.

Not sure why

edit: tried wiping sd card from clockwork, changed default install location to external, etc etc, still saying insufficient space

Edit: Fixed: What seemed to fix it for me was going into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
If the game downloads a bunch of data when you first start it, it should download it to a folder on the SD card. What games are you talking about?
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Do we still not have a fix for Android System keeping the phone from sleeping until a restart?
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
2 games, both by Gameloft. Eternal Legacy and Fishing Kings. Both say I need over 500MB more space.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
Aren't those files located in the sd/gameloft?
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
Check /datadata if full...clear some space.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Yes,I see a folder in sd for Gameloft. Why is it saying I need over 500MB if it's using that folder, which has over 800MB free?
[Vibrant Android Development] vahdyx:
If you don't mind can you direct me to a guide on how to do that. If others are bothered by this can you pm me the instructions?

Sorry guys, I've flashed a bunch of times, but never dealt with something like this.
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Just start deleting apps you don't use. It's the only way.
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Yeah, it has 500mb free. How big is that folder? You can check with a computer if you don't have a file manager app that can tell you. I'm almost positive that all Gameloft games save their data to the SD card and not to /datadata.
[Vibrant Android Development] Locksmith81:
You'll be fine... It's only to regards app data not app cache
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Is it me, or have development seem to have stop for the vibrant? I felt this way for like a month now. I'm just waiting for the Hercules to drop. We had a good run but it time to move on like the devs have. But one thing I did notice was the captivate development is still going strong with new ideas and better roms. O well you can't have it all! Maybe now that the big guy is with Samsung. More devs will come our way in the future:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Argusi:
datadata full?

For everyone having issues with /datadata. Here are some tips.

- Get DiskUsage from the Market. It will show you what is taking up space.

- Look in the /datadata directory with Root Explorer or equivalent. The root of the directory is where download temp files are kept. You may have a bunch of temp files in there. Some apps don't clean up well if at all.

- Depending on your web browser, it may be taking up a ton of space. Clear the cache. You can see this with DiskUsage.

- Sometimes the uninstall process won't clean everything up. You can format /datadata through recovery. This will reset apps, but you won't have to reinstall. I format cache, datadata, dalvik periodically to clean it out as I do a lot of install/uninstall of stuff. It also speeds up the phone for a while.

- I've found that if you do a lot of Titanium Backup restores because you're a flash addict like me, some apps initialize their cache unique to that ROM and TB will restore all the copies of that unique data and accumulate it over time. Because of that, I do periodic baseline backups. Slacker was a big culprit for that.

- If you still have issues and Disk usage doesn't show something taking up a LOT of space, then you may have too many apps and that's just how it is.

Another side effect I noticed (not scientific) is that when /datadata starts to get close, system performance starts to lag before all the random FC's start. Usually around 30-40mb remaining...

Wrote this up really quickly, so sorry if I made some mistakes in my rush...
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Thanks for the suggestions. I use DiskUsage but never needed to look in /datadata before. Ive never had issues with disk space until coming to CM7. Currently, it the things are are taking up most space in my /datadata is:

40.5MiB = System data

16.0MiB = Facebook

10.5MiB = Gameloft game (which wont even run since it FC on startup)

7.59MiB = Dolphin Browser

3.56MiB = Adobe Reader

Everything else is 3MiB or less.

Like I said, I never had to worry about diskspace before. While I love CM7, this seems to be a big issue for me and im surprised its not a big one for most.

EDIT:

I just took a look at the folder with Root Explorer. I dont see a temp folder you were talking about. Is this located in /datadata ?

Any ideas why a game would say I need 500MB+ storage free when I have that space available on internal and SD ?
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
I use mybackuppro to wipe caches of everything at once before each flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Yeah I know what you're saying; it sucks that CM7 announced they were supporting the Vibrant and then a few months later they lose interest. We as users are stoked when things get fixed and our phones rock, and we soon forget the devs do this as a hobby and don't really owe us anything. At least they make sure they don't break our phones at the same time they're making updates to others. Even though our phones aren't that old; in technology terms they are and Sammy didn't do use any favors out of the box. I for one will wait on my next purchase and see what the bugs are before taking a dive. :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] Argusi:
Sorry, the temp download files are in /cache. That's what I get for rushing this morning ;o) That won't affect you in this situation. You could wipe FB cache via TB or Settings->Applications->Manage applications. you may have to re-login, but it will just load slower the first time. I've found it doesn't clean itself up very well.

Somewhere in your browser(s) there will be a delete cache option. Not sure where Dolphin has that option. But it will be in there somewhere. You don't need to delete cookies or any of that, just cache usually.

This will get some of your space back, not sure if it will be enough. The way datadata is set up in CM, is it is on faster memory. If it was moved, performance may take a hit. Someone went into it in more detail a page or two back.

Heh, rushing again, but let us know. :o) Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
atinm et al have stated that they won't really work on the Vibrant again until source drops for it. There is just nothing else that can be done without source; seeing as how we'll never get source, there isn't much else to do.
[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
Had some bad issue as of recently. First my phone was Force Closing all things Google due to an Irritable Syncing Issue. So I flashed and reflashed Gapps and wiped everything, I still couldent get rid of the FCs. I used Odin to go back to stock and then I flashed and installed CM7 again (was contimplating simply galaxy and then was like WTF am I thinking)

After flashing CM7 with a clean install I started installing my other apps. I think I installed 3 apps, gmail, maps, and G+ then I started getting these damn insufficiant space issues ... after 3 apps *facepalm *sigh *punch-a-baby. Wiped datadata and wiped cache partition, this allowed me to be able to install 2 more apps then insufficient memory. Repeated this all and it seemed to work but know my home button is non functional just vibes a little and my power button menu has only 3 options screenshot, power off, and reboot.

I'm gonna reflashed later on and see if that fixes anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Yeah that what I'm saying. Maybe I should wait to see what the bugs are first too! Then maybe I wouldn't feel like. I got a outdated phone when it's not l.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Yeah I understand what you saying. But its like new ideas is what its lacking. Crazy ideas for Themes is also lacking. You can take a old rom and juice it up a bit, to make it seem refresh and new. I WISH I knew how to do it. Like the captivate section have some roms that look so refreshing and updated. Even using 2.1.1 firmware. I'm not complaining but its a empty feeling knowing its drawing to a end:(
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Menu, manage applications, all tab, menu, sort by size. Go down the list and clear caches of everything.

Clearing an app's cache does NOT affect user data at all. Only clearing app DATA does that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
I've never experienced any of these bugs. Try this:

Go into clockworkmod recovery, DON'T use rom manager.

Mounts and storage, format /system.

Wipe data/factory reset.

Flash rom.

Flash gapps.

Wipe data/factory reset again.

Reboot and WAIT.

DON'T SIGN IN TO GOOGLE. Let it sit there on the welcome screen for a full 10 mins before you set up.

Now you'll be bug-free.

Does anyone else have a problem with the phone going straight to speakerphone when answering? I don't but CM7 on my wife's phone does. I installed CM7 clean and it keeps going to speaker first. If you click the speakerphone button it works but it is annoying. Is there a setting I am missing?

She is running 104 or 105.
[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
I had this same issue on nightly 94. No clue what I did but eventually it stopped. Maybe since I wiped data a few times and I think it cleared up an inconsistency with a file.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
I know I was having troubles this weekend with the force closes and then the phone would freeze and then reboot, get stuck on the cyanogen screen, so I would then have to go into CWM and format the different folders, try re-installing, then had parse errors no matter if I tried a fresh install of cyanogen or use a Nandroid. I then was forced to try installing a different ROM, Miui for instance then I was able to format and re-install the cyanogen software. I have finally got it somewhat under control, but I do find a lot of lag especially when it has texts or emails. Anyways hope this helps, I am not sure what the problem was but it took a big chuck out of my weekend. Probably something I did, but I am very well versed in how to do stuff, but I was thrown for a loop with the errors in CWM. Have a great days guys!
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
This may sound silly but a friend of mine was inadvertently touching the speaker button with their cheek...I know what kind of person does that?? Anyway they also would put the caller on hold sometimes; their phone was so touch sensitive. (not a Vibrant though so this may just be a waste of time)..just saying. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
I had this happen to me and was a main reason I was doing everything I could do to re-install, but had troubles with the issues in my last post.

My phone does this and has done it since 104. I did not think it was an issue till you mentioned it to you. I figured I had just did something to my settings.

Using 105 which is incredible with battery life using Bali, but there is something definitely wrong with speaker phone. CM7 compared to a stock rom seems very quiet. The stock rom being louder out of the speaker. When using speaker phone, the caller on the other end says they can barely hear me. Also, I was wondering if there was going to be a permanent fix for the mute/unmute issue. It seems it takes two seconds after answering a phone call for them to finally hear me.

[Vibrant Android Development] jakemg:
I had the same problem on a Nandroid restore of 84 (my favorite so far). I looked everywhere in the system and phone settings and found nothing. Then, I actually figured out a fix. I downloaded this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.malamber.speakerphone&feature=search_result which allows this very function (making the phone automatically go to speaker when you make or answer a call). I enabled then auto-speakerphone, then I disabled it. Then I uninstalled the app. The problem has been gone ever since.
