[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] novagol:
as some have replied, the remaining issues that cm has became too annoying to me over the time as well, therefore i switched to darky's but it just isn't the same, after using for about a month - camera works and battery life is ok, but the overall experience just isn't there, no matter the lagifix or "ram hacks" that it has etc. the ui just isn't smooth as it is on cm. for me it always lagged on certain occasions, for example opening messages, switching between apps... so after a while i got annoyed by this and couldn't stand these problems anymore :)

it seems like the sgs is a halfway device - as the rolling stones would say: you can't always get what you want :) therefore i decided to sell my galaxy and i'm gonna switch it for the nexus s, because it's ridiciulously cheap now that the dual cores are hot on the market. hopefully sometime in the future the remaining issues that the galaxy has get resolved but if not, it's been a fun ride - reading the forums, keeping up with the development and the overall excitement as the rom progressed from an udergound ghetto project to the official cm nightlies. many thanks to the community here, especially rschenck for his awsome comments and of course our über 1337 devs!

My EXPERIENCE shows it does make significant difference, and it does since 2.2.1, I had wifi problems with most modems, call quality with some, JVO was the good one at the time...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Red_Vex:
So make a summary of Issue:

-RIL make a FC phone loop -> patch is ready but we don't why isn't merged :confused:

-Camera issue recording -> a little hope since SGS2 receive an upgrade

-Phone don't hear calling -> we never get a fix

-Battery & Android OS bug -> we never get an improvement and for the last is an issue that occur also on samsung roms.

- Deep Sleep of Death -> no one knows what's the problem so we never get a fix

And since on SGS there aren't many developers the future is grey.

Maybe someone remembers that I had a problem with wifi policy screen off not working, well, out was a user problem. Viber for Android was preventing the wifi to stop.

Tapatalked u see
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] schiphol:
I think that the phone call and gtalk (voip goes offline as well) problems that most experience after the screen turns off, may be related to the data connection crashing in deep sleep mode. Well maybe not the entire connection, as Gmail notifactions generally do keep arriving. Like you said, we don't even know what causes the phone to grind to a hold as soon as the screen switches off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
No...it does not...you can have no baseband and still have wifi connction. :) . You can't explain that :D. Talked with zach and glitch on this matter an they said that modem and wifi are 2 different modules,not related,can't affect each other. So shhhh...daddy is trying to sleep.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I would expect there is some sort of problem with it breaking things for other phones, or something else mysterious and codalicious...or BuildBot just hates it.

The devs stated back when they started working on the SGS2 that pretty much nothing they were doing for the new phone could be ported back to the SGS1....so I hate to stomp on your little hope, but consider it stomped. I doubt any progress will come from that direction, unless something has changed.

This bug has never been explained and tends to be a very sort of random thing. I had it bad back around Nightly 62 where I was losing a few calls a day, but on 70 I do not think I have seen it once. I have a feeling it is due to a number of different factors and may not be able to be addressed directly or easily....even if the Devs were working on it.

There will be no major battery improvements unless all the senior executives of Samsung are suddenly killed in a tragic Kimchee explosion and the company is taken over for some bizarre reason by Linus Torvalds. Without the Samsung source code going true OpenSource, this is as good as it gets.

As for the AndroidOS bug, this is a bug that affects a minority of users but it is indeed on all ROMs for the SGS and no one has any clue about what causes it or what to do about it. If you suffer from it, you may as well wave mistletoe over your phone and sacrifice your cat to Kali, that has as good a chance of solving it as anything else.

True on both counts...and I don't think any of us would call this one more than an annoyance. It is good to reboot now and then anyway, so what the heck.

Still bright, but pretty static I would say...and static is not what most of us are used to or wish in a mobile OS. I admit I have begun reading through the Insanity and MIUI threads to see where they are at development wise to see if they would be good alternatives to "pure" CM7 for me in the long run.

We shall see.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
SO my research is telling me as well...however there must be a reason so many people have seen wifi improvements after swapping modems, myself included at times. Space aliens, dipsomania, inherited hallucinations or Android-induced psychosis are not good enough excuses anymore.

Perhaps by swapping modems some logs are purged improving overall performance for a bit? Perhaps some modems interact with the kernel more efficiently, causing an improvement in WiFi?

C'mon kids, help me out here....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
You can hide your head in the sand as long as you want, I dont have to modify kernels to be able to test wifi signal strength... :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kevin2516:
Maybe it's a placebo effect :p

Anyway im happy with cm7 for now, phone calls are fine, 720p recording is fine... i use the miui camera app, batttery drain is a meh, and that is all, no other issues for me, except fm radio not working properly, but i don't use it anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Like CM7 speed... :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vorbeth:
A lot of CM7 problems could (possibly) be fixed by using the correct drivers and permissions in the init scripts.

Maybe if people spent a little time learning they could contribute to the cause and get our phone away from using a hacked Nexus Kernel.

Zach has already started on such a task: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145518
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Sadly I have the coding skills of a Cocker Spaniel that was unusually slow for his breed and therefore was left behind a few grades at Puppy Academy so I would not be of much use.

However, Zach is a true hero and a giant amongst men...and if anyone has the scripting bones to help him out, I will one day find you, where ever you are, and kiss you.

No foolin'...someone do this.

Just got a very interesting tip from Junior Cyanogen Scout leunammanuel.

It sounds like Nicademus of Fugu Fame may be on to something regarding battery life...check out what he has to say at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16204597&postcount=479.

And be sure to thank leunamanuel for the info.

Saw that 2...testing right now, but u don't know if it will help me cuz i am already running jvr bootloaders. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drakenabarion:
It seems in recent nightlies, the Android OS language list has been reduced to only 10 or so languages. If you are using the Android keyboard and your language is not on that list, you will lose the language for your keyboard if you go to select input languages. The same is probably true for localisation settings too...

Bork84 was the first to notice (I think). Yes Hebrew is not on the current list.

What is r411, will it be in next nightly... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Red_Vex:
Maybe it's build of kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kmrdeva:
It's the fugumod kernel for CM7 build number. Current latest versions are r423v and r423n.

https://faramir.eriador.org/r/CM7_galaxysmtd/

Update = r430v/r430n just arrived :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xavivars:
This can be a very big improvement to CM on our SGS!!!

Studying Samsung GB source, as silky_dude said before, can be a good point to start to get CM7 better to our SGS :D

Thank you, but I still dont understand if this is CM7 or if I have to flash another kernel... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aamirleo55:
hows the performance and quality of video playback in latest CM7 rom ? is it same like stock roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DROCSID:
I don't get the hole buildnumber blabla from the link

you posted. All the files have same upload/modify

time?

Or am I stupid? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kmrdeva:
It's a custom kernel for CM7. You will need to flash it yourself, it doesn't come with the CM7 nightlies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ock:
His cryptic-sounding commits never fail to impress me :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
This is the FuguMod custom kernel, flashed on top of CM7 and replacing the stock kernel. I am not familiar with the fugumods, but I would expect the v version is voodoo color.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kmrdeva:
We should take this discussion to the fugumod thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16207208.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
I have the nightly update perfect now, no hassle, no losing data or apps, will flashing the kernel change it... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Yeah, what he said...I just thought the possibility of progress at long last was interesting.

In the past, the devs would add the best bits from the custom kernels into the stock...I am not sure that will still happen but perhaps the standard commit system can be used to add this to stock, assuming it works out well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No, custom kernels do not mess with your data or apps...and if you don't like it, just reflash the Nightly to replace the stock kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kmrdeva:
So far I've never lost data or apps or gained any new hassle after applying fugumod kernel. YMMV though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Thanks, I did use kernels before, sometimes I did loose my playlists, and even more, I will think about it... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Yes, but we all agree that you have the strangest problems ever seen in the i9000 world. I have never lost a single app or file while flashing kernels, and I have flashed bunches of them.

Face it, your phone is just cursed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
And coolya has just committed the fix to the stock kernel. We should be seeing it as soon as a new prebuilt kernel is committed to the repo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
You smell that, gang?

That is the sweet smell of innovation, once again....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Red_Vex:
What mean? That we'll have new stock kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Never say never... :p

I cannot complaint, with the **** I have done to it, it never fails to awake me in the morning, and I get all my calls and messages... :rolleyes:

Anyway, Coolya apparentely made the changes to CM7, I dont need extra kernels... :D

THANKS Nikodemos and Coolya... :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The stock kernel is rebuilt on a regular basis, so the next time it is built and added to the repository that the BuildBot uses to make the Nightlies, then this fix will be included.

Battery Drain

Hi !

It's just a suggestion

You have to go to the CyanogenMod Parameters, in perfomances,

Min CPU : 100

Max CPU : 1000

and check the Apply on boot option.

Before : my max time was ~17 hours to go from 100% to 0%

Now : 1 day and 1 hour and 25% battery :-)

I think it works a bit well for me (but It's subjective)

Regards

I installed #446v, connected wifi, it showed several other nets, but not the one I can use, it was ok on the PC, flashed the nightly and it was there it is again... :eek:

The new fix on changelog is related?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
So, after switching to GB bootloaders I can bust this myth for myself. Two phones, almost identical setups, one with 2.2 bootloaders and one with 2.3.

The phone on Froyo bootloaders actually had better battery life than the phone with GB bootloaders in idle (decreasing only 4-5% per hour, whereas the GB-loaded device decreased 5-6% per hour).

So, with my not-so-scientific-testing, I can conclude that there's no benefit to being on Gingerbread bootloaders.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DROCSID:
I don't want to disturb your myth, but here it DOES have effect in changing to GB bootloader :D.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] masterg0g0:
I wud like to support this stance. Battery is better with gb running glitch kernel atm
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sptorrent:
May be because GB loader does not load external card - could explain why better battery life... And yes I know, you don't have any sdcard anyway! Still it might explain the alleged difference
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
hehe, whats going on here? looks like we are getting more love than we can handle these days...

thats absolutely brilliant, during my holiday only thing i really missed was the compass. other than that cm7 worked perfectly during my roadtrip in France and Andorra.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] encho:
Now I'm confused :-\ Everyone's attitude is that the devs abandoned the project, but when you go to that link - merged code - majority of activity is for sgs. And we had some interesting development in last couple of days. So nothing's over yet, be positive people!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
those are just commits by other people

nothing done by the cm7 sgs dev. tho...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
Does it really matter who codes it anymore? I more than welcome and appreciate the CMSGS team but I also welcome the assistance of any capable dev who'd like to work things out for us.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
Be happy about having this wonderful project called CM7 working on your phone.

Remember the months of work that devs (old and new ones) have put into it.

I don't mind them taking time off or focusing on other projects.

As we can see, others help out where they can.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] encho:
So? I'd rather have 100 little devs than 1 big one who might leave the project at any time :-D

Does anyone know what binary blop is used for the accelerated video on samsung roms?

I know it is only useable with the tw framwork, but i dont want to die not knowing what is responsible for hd Video ..

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I don't know that I would RATHER have one or the other, but having either is nice.

The Devs stated (as I keep reminding everyone), that this is what hopefully would be happening. They would be involved less with developing and be mainly maintaining what exists now, and the general pool of CM7 wonks would add commits as they came up, just as they do for other CM7 phones.

The fact that the SGS is a bit less "CM7 ready" in terms of hardware and source code then some other phones has been a problem, making it a bit hard for a dev inexperienced with the phone to do much with it. However, that worm seems to be turning.

In a way, the SGS2 arriving may be a boon for us, since the price of the SGS1 is dropping and there are more used models appearing on ebay...hence more CM7 devs can easily pick one up just to mess around with.

All due props to Nicademus the evil genius for his fix going mainline, now hopefully Zach (who seems to always be saying he is taking a break but never quite gets there...which is a good thing for us) and Tk (as always, rock steady and ahead of the curve) will start submitting all their innovations to the kernal as commits as well, and we will see where this roller coaster goes next.

It is nice the SGS is getting attention again..and if our discussing and whining about our abandonment issues in the forum played even a tiny part in making that happen...then SGSTEAM IRREGULARS GO!!

Hi,

I just came back to CM7. I left around the time of Nightly 25 and was on MIUI and a host of Samsung custom ROMs. Now I'm back starting with Nightly 73. I can appreciate CM7's simplicity and speed, stability and customizability. I haven't had it reboot on me yet with everything I've done so far. And I can do lots of things on it. I especially like the status bar tweaks and the notification power widget.

I came across this article that I would like to share. I hope you find it a good read.

Guys, I've reached the point of frustration here. Dunno if any of you guys are facing this issue. I got this on both CM7 and MIUI. Every couple of days or so, ALL my text messages disappear, and I have to restore a backup... ALL over again.. Currently using GoSMS, and Zach NEO12-T7 kernel.

EDIT: Also the last few received messages... I can only see the notification, and not the message whenever this happens. Please help..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prembox:
Never faced this issue on CM7 so far since Jan'11. Even I use GoSMS with weekly back-ups, which were of no use except when I had done a clean install. I can confirm that it has absolutely nothing to do with the Kernel but I did find GoSMS keeping CPU occupied @800Mhz on two instances......just a clear GoSMS Cache, Clear Data and a reboot helped.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
This has been happening to me since the last two months that I'm using MIUI/CM7 now... I can't take it anymore.. Feel like smashing this phone now. CAN'T... LOSE... ANY... MORE... MESSAGES! :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prembox:
Don't you think you should shoot a mail to the Go Dev team and seek assistance on this problem? I do recall a friend of mine who was on Darky-10.1 JVH having this problem in June. This might not be a CM7 issue at all.....
