Read the Troubleshooting post and the FAQ please. They really are there for a reason, and this has been discussed in around 200 posts on this thread alone.

You did not have Froyo bootloaders installed before flashing CM7. If you flash CM7 directly from a Samsung Gingerbread app, you will have graphics problems at boot and the external SD card will be useless.

You need to go back and reflash Froyo, then install CM7 again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] uvlight:
For that problem, you need to read the faq in the first page. One word, bootloader.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bravoleader:
atm i have this config:

Rom - CyanogenMod 7

Nightly - May 15

Modem - JL2

Kernel - Platypus r9

All my GPS problems are fixed since i installed JL2+Platypus R9 but battery drain is almost unbearable -.-'''

With display beeing lit for 1h and something i could be able to have the phone charged in the evening having it disconnected from the cable in the morning.

What i noticed is google map application consuming some battery even if i'm not using it (or at least not by purpose, may be some background service...)

I'm using some OC/UV from juicedefender after solving the wake up problems (100mhz in idle was too low probably) but if i don't do like this i fear the battery will be drained in couple of hours.

Any hint that someone wants to share?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] c0nvict:
Yes but i installed cm7 from 2.2.1 firmware so i think i had the froyo bootloaders.

So how can i flash back froyo bootloader?

ok now i saw the above post. I'll flash JPU first from samfirmware.com and i'll try again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
If you had previously flashed a Gingerbread build, and if you flashed a Froyo 2.2.1 that didn't include bootloaders you would have kept the Gingerbread ones...again, all explained clearly in the FAQ and Troubleshooting posts along with instructions for flashing back to Froyo.

Stop asking and READ.

Tried all the usb ports, tried 3 windows 7 computers and the guy at the repair shops.

Tried a different cable aswell

Tried to install the drivers, but the files I download dont get the adb drivers option to come up when installing.

The phone used to work on the laptop, only stopped recently, and I cant install the drivers to do a odin flash so cant go back to froyo!!!!

thanks for the posts!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
is it possible to detect the bootloader version from the installer script, so that the installation aborts with a prompt to install froyo bootloaders first? that would be killer, and save a lot of db space for xda.... ;-)

edit: i guess its not, otherwise the devs would have done it months ago...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Though I have heard whispers that Codeworkx is working on a special code sequence to be added once the version goes Mainline. This code will initiate a hardware exploit that will unload the entire current capacity of the battery into a user's hands when he tries to install CM7 over Gingerbread bootloaders.

It likely wouldn't kill them, but if a few of them get their hair lit on fire, it will serve as a warning to others. Of course, once they put their heads out, they would just post complaining about a sudden battery drain....but you can't have everything.

In the mean time, it is up to us, The SGSTEAM Irregulars, to set people straight...or at least straighter.

What is the story with Gtalk video..

Does it work or not? I don't really find the answer here (so please don't flame... I did search ;))
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Sometimes...sometimes not.

The gapps update with gtalk video (20110503) was pulled due to inconsistency between devices, but some people still have it or know where to find it.

Some SGS users have said it works fine, others get the one-sided video bug or just no video....it likely has a great to do with hardware quirks and other installs.

If you can find the 20110503 Gapps and want to try it out, go for it. It won't brick you...it just may not work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:

haha - that would be a little harsh

but we could implement some sort of script that checks if /emmc can be accessed before and after the update (very realistic) - if not the entire phone will be wiped

How can i manage to do that?

cannot do it with music player and my installed music player pro.

something like that

or just wipe all user data ^^

ok - enough of that

That's how you do it..standard Android behavior...

Actually you can create a folder called /ringtones in either SD card and it will find them for you. Then you can select it in Settings / Sounds

Another small issue.

I always use office on my phone for work.

Can,t open no files anymore.

I can only install think free office lite from market, but i have to pay if i want to have it full

Is that the only option?

Polaris office doesn,t work, it,s giving me fc

Can i imput think free office from stock samsung in system app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
extract thinkfree office

from a modified Samsung ROM of your choice and install it via adb (we "own" it or at least have a license after all so we are allowed to do that)

that should give you full "thinkdroid" again

it worked fine for me in the past

haven't used it for a long time ...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Office suites are Android is something of a problem. Not many free options, and even the paid ones often leave something to be desired.

DocumentsToGo has a free viewer for office docs which is quite good, assuming you don't need to do any editing. I believe the full version which can edit is about 15.00 US but it is a solid solution.

I am currently beta testing the new office suite from Softmaker which thus far is very very good, but I am not sure when it will be released to the Market...and when it is, it will also be a paid app.

As for installing the Samsung version of Thinkoffice, I am not sure. I know in the ROM Kitchen there is a free office suite of some kind in the Apps section. Perhaps you could make an update zip with it and install it via Recovery...though I don;t know if it would work in 2.3.4.

For those who use Navigon or sygic navigation!.

My Navigon files where on external SD

Navigon on CM7 did not find the files on External sd

Create a new map in your SD called external_sd

Put your Navigon map from your own(real) external SD in there.

Now Navigon reads your files and maps again.

Maby people knew but just wanted to share:D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jurguh87:
hey,

I found 2 radio-dumps on my sd-card

I'm on 0509 nightly and use tthe jvk modem.

what should i do with or is it known and (normal)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
It just means that for some reason your modem crashed and rebooted at the moment the dump file is timestamped with. Most of the time, it was when your phone was idle. It isn't a big deal...except for the fact that no one can figure out why it is doing it.

Most of these modem crashes are taking place on JVO (aka BMFH) with a sizable number on JVK too, but a smattering on most all modems. The also seem to happen on all Nightlys, or at least all the ones in May since it was only noticed a few weeks ago.

Personally I think if we take all the radio dump files and print them, and put them side by side in a football field, it will make an aerial map of Area 51.

After flashing CM7 I get strange colours on my screen during boot

You do not have the correct bootloaders. Basically flash 2.2.1 following this article and then redo the CM7 installation. All should be fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] C-o-M:
Adhoc wifi isn't supported by Android. You need a patched wpa_supplicant. Search in the forums, you'll find one. But ensure that it's the correct version (froyo and gingerbread have different ones).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
It amazes me we are STILL getting bootloader screwups. It is posted in every install instruction, every info post.

At this point the only way sgsteam could make this any easier to install is if codeworkx went to each user personally and had them sit in his lap while he installed cm7 FOR them.

Yet still people screw it up through pure negligence. Maybe we should make people take a test of some kind before downloading the install?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] davidwood15:
Right ok cool. Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomeks:
the problem is that no one care about scrambled screen during boot (what is in the faq) but all people are lookong for external sd card problems

it will be more common as stock gb is now official and cm7 is available through rom manager.

it looks like it is time for cm7 to switch bootloaders for the newer one :)

yes, the custom kernel that comes with the update.zip is said to be working good
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:

Only I9000 got gingerbread, and probably only the international version. Carrier Phones (T-Mobile Germany for example), Captivate and Vibrant NOT. So we cannot switch bootloaders.

Other than the one which comes with the update.zip is there any kernel working well?? How about quarra r9?? Is that worth tryin?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Judim:
Thanks for the answer!

I already made a search and tried a good looking wpa_supplicant one for gingerbread. But it is not working properly: i.e. it regnognize that it is an ad-hoc network. For example, I create on my computer an ad-hoc network called "example".

In the wifi settings of my sgs, it recognises it as "example (ad-hoc)". Great. But when I connect it, first it doesn't connect and second it creates another saved network called simply "example".

The result is that "example" is saved but not connectable (out of range). And "example (ad-hoc)" is reachable but not saved.

Each time I try to connect to "example (ad-hoc)" it creates a new one "example" saved network.

The wpa_supplicant I tried is the one finded here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058319

Question to anybody and to the devs (and to rschenck, for him to make a funny point out of my question (I know you can, I read every post from you, and laugh every time): Does exist a special wpa_supplicant one for CM7 with ad-hoc support?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jornbjorn:
stock kernel is working great.

Glitch kernel is working good, insane OC and benchmark scores

Now i use Zachyboys kernel since it got by far the smoothest UI (launcher, menus etc). Using it with NO overclock (does not get any smoother in UI with it) and some uv.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
I tried Glitch,but got a bootloop. Which kernel version did you use? :S
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jornbjorn:

Hey guys. I have an issue which is really weird...while i am charging phone (no matter with usb or just normally) and use my phone for about 10-15 min (browsing, gaming or just hanging around on xda :-) ) it suddenly stops charging. Plug out and in doesnt solve it so a reboot is the only way to make it work again.

I am on latest nightly. Impossible that i messed up anything since i made a clean install 2 days ago to see if the problem still persists. I actually made my cleanest install ever meaning that i wiped internal and external sd cards before in addition to the wipes of data, system, even dbdata, dalvik and so forth. So anyone with an idea?

Thought also about the possibility that charging port is somehow not working properly but this would have been a strange coincidence cause i have had this Problem never before switching to cm7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tuhoaja:

Thanks for replying. Sorry thought that this issue would fit in here better. But anyway cant really believe that this is about temperature, why does it work again after reboot for another quarter of an hour? It cant cool down within the one minute it takes to reboot.

I mean its no big deal for me dont get me wrong ;) if this issue already has been checked forget about it but wasnt sure if anyone has mentioned it in here yet
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
I am facing the same problems whither charging and usage. This is definitely the temperature. The battery info shows overheated. It also works again if u lock the screen for a while. However i still think that the sensor does not even read the battery temp since the battery itselfs is far from hot. The hottest spot on the phone is right underneath the internal speaker and i think it is either the charging controller or it is the CPU . Whatever it is, it wont change before the overheat threshold is changed to a higher value, since we got those temperatures on all samy roms, but it just didn't stop charging.

I am pretty sure there are a lot of people seeing cyanogen mod in rommanager, not bothering to read anything on xda and just flashing it. And then after they don't find their external SD they just come here to ask. I still think best would be to have the updater script check the bootloader or ask the user if he had gingerbread installed before. I don't have any idea what is possible with updater script, but if its possible it should be done. Other option would be to get rom manager to show a info popup on download of cm....

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
I don't think there is a problem with CPU, i just think that the sensor never does read actually the temperature of the battery, it is more like the sensor is on the CPU, and Samsung just mapped it to the battery value. So if the CPU gets hotter from being used the sensor goes over threashold and the system thinks the battery overheard, but in reality it does not...
