I was in and JVR, now jvk ..... I change it? better to leave this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Odd..JVK is the default the CM7 loads when you first install it. Did you flash back to a non-CM7 ROM before flashing this Nightly?

Either way, JVK should work fine for you. If you don't like it, flash JVR back on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yeah, TkGlitch related

clone his repo, add the recent change related to external SD access

and re-compile the kernel

then it should work

Quick Question related to GB bl... Currently my phone is running on SURFACE 3.0 (JVR Base) with JVH bl's (I've flashed the whole deodexed ROM about a week ago to do a clean install)... I supouse now my phone is correctly running on GB bl's...

I'm about to flash Nightly #77 on top of my current configuration but let's say that i want to revert to the JVR Rom, just by restoring the CMW backup will be fine or will i have to flash back to JVH through Odin and then restore the backup due the changes on the System format?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Regards,

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
You will need to flash back using Odin. CM7 changes your file structure so CWM wouldn't know where to restore things to from your backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] StephenC82:
Can you flash a new rom from CWM instead of restoring a backup ?

I have just installated CM7 nightly #77 - JVP Modem - IPL+SPL GingerBread JVQ release.

It's all Ok . Filesystem Ext-sd is recognized.

Now i'm testing for drain battery.

(I'm a little pessimist for IPL+SPL GingerBread because they should not give a best battery performance).

In any case i hope i am wrong :D:D

Where can i check which bootloader do i have?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gekkekoe123:
I tried to find but could nog find an easy option.

adb bugreport | grep bootloader

returns unknown version for me.

But i double checked with flashing old rom and checking the external SD card (it was not working) and flashing my own rom based on yesterdays code and the external sd now works fine!

It means i'm on GB bootloader ;-)

I flashed codeworkx jvk package using heimdall. Anyone knows what the "secondary bootloader backup" is ? there is no corresponding .bin file for that partition.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Actually, there is no way to tell.

Someone once said you can tell by spinning your phone on a table top. If it stops while pointing north and south, you have GB bootloaders while east and west meant Froyo Bootloaders...but he was high on crystal meth and milky way bars at the time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I THINK when you go to a Samsung ROM from CM7, you still need to flash via Odin due to the File Structure....but get confirmation on that since I am not sure.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] davidmore:
Actually you can edit the bin file with HxD editor to see the bootloader that you want install (see attached screenshot).

Another simple way is to download the fully ROM release from samfirmware.com and extract the corrispective IPL = boot.bin , and SPL = SBL.bin)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Hmmm..I would suggest flashing one of Zach's Platypus kernels which have a lot more tweaks and security measures regarding WiFi, and see if the problem continues.

Perhaps it is something about the AP your flat is using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] momevil:
I already tried Zach's latest kernel but that didn't help. I'm gonna set up a second AP to see if that makes a difference.

Can someone help me out here, I'm lost:

Just came from custom JVQ GB rom. Went to recovery, installed FuguMod kernel, rebooted to recovery, installed CM#77 & GAPPS but when I reboot, it always throws me back to recovery. Even after I cleared data/factory/dalvik/cache.

What did I do wrong? I also tried this next:

1. going into recovery & installing #77 then gapps,

2. going into recovery & installing only #77

3. going into recovery & clearing caches before installing cm

4. going into recovery & clearing caches after installing cm

5. going into recovery & clearing caches before and after installing cm

It always boots into recovery. What the...?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsooba:
boots to recovery without the 3 button combo?

weird - if its stuck its just gotta get stuck at the kernel boot screen
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sago62:
for me you had to first install # 77 and then fugu .... maybe it's the same?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
why did you install a cm7 custom kernel, when you had no cm7 rom installed? you could have done it like:

1- wipe cache/dalvik/system

2- flash nightly

3- flash kernel

4- flash gapps/modem

5- fix permissions

right now, you could use lippol64's ultimate kernel cleaning script and reflash nightly. remember to check md5sum of the file you're flashing. if that doesn't work, reflash jvq with odin, and start from there.

Thanks a lot. Followed that and have CM7-77 with GB bootloaders, and a working external SD card.

One question though, why can't I restore apps plus data? I'd like to get my Angry Birds progress back. Everything else I can live without!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
You cannot restore system data...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ElCamino:
Quick questions. 1. Just got my Nexsus S Saturday; coming from iPhone 4, and I have managed to root and installed CM 7 build 150 nightly and want to know. Do I have to do a complete wipe every time a new nightly comes out? Or can I just update? I have done the backup of my ROM the very first time and have actually backed up my ROM twice just be safe.

Other question maybe someone knows is, anyone using the Nexsus S on AT&T? Want to know if adjusting the build.prop files to speed up the download and upload speeds works? Reason is my I phone's download up load are much faster than the Nexsus S. Would like to at least match the speeds to my iPhone. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
this would not help, as the nightly installer script checks if there is a cm7 kernel (boot image) installed, which is still the case after kernel cleaning script. if so it decides to use the script for updating cm7 which does not work as the partition layout is different.

the solution here is to reflash a samy kernel with cwm and flash the nighly from there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Restoring with data tends to make fcs and market hassles, so I prefer to do it as little as possible.

Angry birds is notorious for not allowing you to restore game data. You can try using titanium, but there are also apps in the market that are specifically for restoring angry birds data...you could try one of those
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
you are in the wrong forum here, nexus s is not galaxy s... please go there to ask. but i can say for sure that you wont have to wipe after update.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Ummmm...you do know this is a GALAXY S forum, yes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
it looks like he's already in cm7/MTD fs, so why would he flash a sammy kernel? i don't understand. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
you can backup & restore manually:

but we really need an app or feature to do the same like MIUI's Backup tool ...

backup the user data in /data/data in a tar.gz

note down permissions of the folders [just in case]

copy that package on your pc so that it's safe

flash new ROM, update, etc.

re-install Angry Birds & run it once shortly

note down the new permissions of user data of the Angry Birds folder (in /data/data)

remove new user data for Angry Birds

extract the old game state & modify permissions so that it matches with the new ones

now it should be working

[this approach worked with Gun Bros and thus also should with Angry Birds]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
because he is not, he didnt actually run the installer script, which dies the conversion to mtd, but did the updater script, due to having a cm7 kernel installed already.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:

that's why i asked too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
did you have your contacts in your google account or are they in phone memory on samsung rom?

i think this is not compatible to cm7, also all that ****ty facebook contacts mess is not supported on cm7, best bet would be to export all your contacts to outlook, but i guess you have since you use companionlink, and then use CL to sync them to your google account. then after setting up your account on the phone all your contacts will appear on the phone automagically...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Sometimes I lose contacts when I flash a nightly, no rhyme or reason why. Once I reenter my MS exchange details it takes about an hour but they all reappear eventually.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wreckovski:
Well, installed GB BL successfully.

Battery is impressive! Wouldn't survive for more than 10 hours with medium~heavy use.. it's already running 6 hours now and only dropped 43%.

Thanks devs, you're doing a great job with this ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
If a phone is booting into recovery over and over again after installing cm7 for the first time you simply failed at following the instructions.

1. You're on Stock ROM

2. Reboot to Recovery using 3-button-combo

3. Install CM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
but if there is a cm7 custom kernel installed prior to cm7, he must have booted to recovery by 3bc, because the installed os would not have booted with that kernel. i think the installed kernel prevented the installer script from runing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I fear that some of the info about the fugumod kernel and how to hack it into a nightly that was posted a day or so ago caused a lot of confusion....reminds me why we need to remember to direct ALL custom kernel discussion to the proper threads.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikextr23:
Just wanted to ask how did you install GB BL. I know my phone is running Froyo BL now since back then when i installed CM7, Froyo BL are the only one supported.

NOTE: By the way, just updated my phone to nightly 77. Does it automatically install GB BL?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The lines are getting blurry as some of the features of the gb bootloaders are being added to the kernel.

Basically most people report better battery life with the gb bl especially while idle....but that is the only real difference it seems.

To be honest I would advise flashing 77 first and seeing how it does for you. After a few days if you feel you need better battery life, flash the gb bootloaders and see if it helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] blublub:
I already was ob cm7 before so No Samsung stuff. I just could not sync contacts back from outlook Tor cm7 via companionlink - Thema contact list was always empty! ?

and, no, it does not update the bootloaders...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Search on this thread. Codeworkx posted a file to be flashed via Odin to change bootloaders....but do so at your own risk as a bad bootloaders flash will hard brick your phone faster than you can say "No, don't pull out that USB cord!!!!""

And no, you need to flash bootloaders from download mode, so no nightly could ever change them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan542:
Flash with odin/heimdall...basically you have two options: flash some samsung GB ROM or just the bootloader (EZBoot). And no, nightly #77 doesn't install GB bootloaders.

EDIT: rschenck was faster
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
NOT EZBOOT! It contains a kernel and will mess you up BADLY.

Use the files from Codeworkx, please.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sago62:

Have been following and using CM7 for a while now. Everything is running just good except one thing that baffles me now is the battery drain.

I had the last Nightly updated yesterday night, charged the phone till 93%. Switched off data network and wifi_idle_ms set at 35 seconds and went to bed. Woke up 7 hours with a pleasant 88% still remaining. So at standby, the device just gives excellent battery backup.

BUT, as soon as I started to use it on my way to work, with constant web browsing on data network-mostly 3G, it dropped to 45% within 1 hour! Now then, I wonder if it's due to Kernel (Running Qurra6 at the moment) or it's still because of debug running in the background?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rausss:
I already posted this on MIUI thread but didn't get any attention:

Do you know if it is possible to get true 720p video from Galaxy S hardware? As I can see the current format is upscaled 480p, it is only saved as 1280*720 and is not true 720p. We are wasting storage space when we save the file in 720p as it has the same actual definition as is in 480p. Samsung roms also have this upscaling in 720p video.
