Hey guys. How's the battery life on this ROM? I flashed it back then, but I had horrible battery life. I'm assuming its better since its been a while.
[Vibrant Android Development] rk0:
CM7 isn't really that good on Samsung phones (except for Nexus S since it's stock). If you look at most HTC Phones, they have stable builds that are better than this.
[Vibrant Android Development] Locksmith81:
Lol!!! Long story ....inside joke.!

[Vibrant Android Development] Droidicus:
Yeah. Meh. Think I'm going to have to leave CM7 because of battery, gps and wifi until (IF!) GB source drops. Suggestions for next best thing?
[Vibrant Android Development] andrewxu:
Trigger 3.2 final is great and stable for daily use
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Because the Cyanogen mod has been around since the G1, possibly the oldest rom still being done.. and is on almost every device. It offers more customization options than any rom period and has a very large and experienced dev team.

The reason it is such an issue on the Galaxy S line (among a few other devices) is the lack of source released by the manufacturer since this rom is built from source code and not pieced together like every other rom is.. not to say those roms are bad, but are not made from scratch.. where we are now is miles and miles ahead of where we were a few months ago..

As for the issues you are having.. My browser and data connection is great.. no FCing and almost 6mbs download speed. As for the sound routing, its perfect for me..

But honestly it is still in an early stage of its life on the SGS line.. If you don't like it go use another..
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
I have experienced none of those things on the 40 nightlies I've flashed so far.

Wipe data/factory reset and this time let it sit for a while on first boot before you set up.

Give it a full 5 minutes of sitting on the sign in screen before you touch it. Literally.

Agree with all of this completely. I have had a similar pleasant experience with minor/no issues whatsoever. I think with the age of this project on the SGS line being so young, atinm is doing a great job.

are google contact groups not a part of cyanogen? does anyone know if this is intended in the future ?

[Vibrant Android Development] EricDET:
This happened to me a couple times.. before we had reboot recovery so that's not your problem. I found that if I didn't flash gapps directly after rebooting the initial then they wouldnt apply for me. Not sure why.
[Vibrant Android Development] EricDET:
Even when using the reboot recovery key in Rom manager he would still be sent to the recovery built into the kernel wouldn't he? Because all it does it is give the reboot recovery command. He would have to apply the update.zip rom manager downloaded to the sd card to actually get to another recovery. The fact that his gapps actually flashed and didn't give an error tells us he has a CWM 3.x recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
what other recovery would you want? the one built into the recovery is 3.x... you wouldn't (read: CAN'T) use the update.zip recovery designed for BML/Samsung ROM's... I have personally used ROM manager and the recovery included in the kernel to install both updates and gapps

if you've been applying the update.zip from CWM3.x you're making a terribly... stupid (for lack of a more apt term)... decision
[Vibrant Android Development] EricDET:
I never said I did.. lol

I was simply making the point... It doesn't matter how he got to recovery. It should work reguardless.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tynen:
After I finish flashing I don't have radio to tmobile what's up? no service! x.x
[Vibrant Android Development] IRIE4IPIER:
turn screen off, wait a second, and turn it back on, you should be good
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
hey guys in your battery status, does it says discharging?
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Where exactly does it say that?

Sent from my Vibrant on CM7
[Vibrant Android Development] gordon.mott:
It actually sent me into 2.x recovery. Was the weirdest thing. I had used the Samsung drivers for my vibrant with no problem for the longest time... flashed this rom, and they no longer worked... vibrant showed as an unrecognized device... so I had no adb access despite trying several times.

I had, in this rom, gone into rom manager and told it to reboot into recovery... the recovery it sent me into was in fact 2.x, despite 3.x being built into the kernel (not sure of the mechanics of this). Flashed gapps with no problems... three times, and three times, no icons.

I finally manually overrode windows on the driver for my vibrant, got it to mount in ADB okay.. then did an "adb reboot recovery"... THAT got me where I needed to be, and then I was able to successfully apply the gapps.

So long story short, it was due to my laziness that I had the issue, combined with the fact that rom manager was sending me into a 2.x recovery that apparently is unable to flash gapps.
[Vibrant Android Development] gordon.mott:
Yeah, no - was not using update.zip. Just selected the option to reboot into recovery from ROM manager... it sent me into a 2.x recovery, rather than the 3.x recovery. Strangest thing.
[Vibrant Android Development] lorloff:
Action button lights

Hey guys, searched the thread and couldn't find anything similar. Have this ROM running on my wife's phone and she ran into a weird issue. She got a notification while she was sleeping, and the backlight for the buttons, ie home back etc, did not turn off, and it drained the battery on her. Anyone seen that?
[Vibrant Android Development] zyrinx:
The notification lights stays on. They doesn't pulse or anything like BLN did. You can; however, set it up to not show the notification lights during certain hours. More or less scheduling them not to display while you are asleep.
[Vibrant Android Development] zyrinx:
Q: How to I turn off LED notifications, scheduled or/and complete turn off?

A: Use Cyanogen's Quiet Hours feature (settings>cyanogen>sound>quiet hours) and check "Dim the LEDs during quiet hours" (in reality it will turn them off on the SGS). If you schedule a complete day, then LED notifications will be off all the time.

Link to more question and answers: http://pastebin.com/ySBSaw4u
[Vibrant Android Development] zyrinx:
That's because the phone is recognized as the Nexus S. You need the drivers for it for the computer to properly recognize your phone while running CM7.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tempestrs4:
I thought the only way to get into the correct recovery is with the 3button combo. Things like reboot recovery don't work.
[Vibrant Android Development] lorloff:
Thanks guys. Thought it might have been LED notifications, but couldn't figure out how to turn it off.
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
recent updates fixed that, however reboot download still doesnt work
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
I'd be surprised if the button back light alone could drain much of the phone's battery even for a whole night.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
battery drain is very good! 5 hours of idle only lost 8%.

can see what i am shooting

i installed the latest updates (1105) and the new gapp(i have hd in the video option).

I'm talking about innerds ... maybe there is a similar GPS driver or something that will fill in the gaps that the samsung proprietary coding screws up
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
the Canadian vibrants are just rebranded versions of the international version. they have no more in common with the tmobile vibrant than the international version does. basically, no, vibrant is ****ed as even samsung seems to have given up on the device (no new firmwares on their servers, multiple insiders tip vibrant is dead).

Sweet. I'll see if I can find the app and push it over.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
Probably not going to work. Most manufacturer skin apps don't work so hot with AOSP/other carrier skins.

Anyhow, going to flash this once the vibrant hits 100%, any kernal recommendations other than Glitch?
[Vibrant Android Development] FReQ Z:
I'm using Bali. No issues here.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
im using neo i prefer it over bali because of the better battery life without needing to UV
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Stock calendar probably relies on touchwiz framework, but you never know.

There are plenty of great calendar apps on the market. Check out TOUCH CALENDAR. I freaking love it.

You pinch to zoom in and out like a big paper calendar or google maps.

Neo16R2 is the best all around CM7 kernel at this time without a doubt. It just sips battery and flies.

Video Camera

Has anyone tried out the camera? I was recording today and the camera app seemed like it was working well, but I played it back later and it was very choppy. Playing other video that has not been taken on the camera is not choppy though. On nightly 79. Can anyone else try this?

Edit: Change the video to high instead of HD and it seemed to work, but hd still doesn't work.

[Vibrant Android Development] dr150:
Tried build #81.

My phone:

1.) 911 doesn't work

2.) Market downloads of large files like Airattack fail with "no memory" despite having ample amount of memory.

3.) Speakerphone call volume transmission is low. On my answering machine, volume falls dramatically.

4.) GPS connects (albeit slower than I want) but loses connectivity when battery hits below 20%.

All of these issues I've had in the past with CM builds.

On a positive note, battery life is

GREAT

with the Bali 1.1.1 kernel. With screen constantly on at minimum brightness, I can get 5 hours with Copilot GPS. That's as good as the Froyo builds from Team Whiskey (albeit, with TW ROMs, I can replicate this with markedly higher screen brightness)

Repsonsiveness ain't an improvement coming over from TW Nextgen V2. Actually, V2 plays better with my apps (opening/closing, screens, etc). Quad scores also lags a little on CM between both ROMs at stock.

So for now, I'm going back to TW since it's more baked and better on the battery.

The CM stuff is making progress though! Great work!
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
The fact that 911 doesn't work is truly scary. Does anyone know if that's an issue present on all Galaxy S's or just ours?
[Vibrant Android Development] andrewxu:
911 doesn't work???? For this rom!? Or which ones??! Ahhh

[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Had same problems with other versions of nero but not latest
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
CM7 never used/supported the 2.5.1.2 clockworkmod recovery. as for going back to 2.2, you can *only* go back to it using odin or heimdall. that is seriously your only choice. if you have a busted USB port, well, then you're out of luck. the conversion to MTD means samsung ROM's (or nandroids) won't work without repartitioning in odin.

I think he meant Sleep Of Death ... i have gotten this a couple of times using a nightly and the neo platypus glitch kernel (what ever the hell it was called). The phone will go into standby mode then the screen goes black like it normally does but its the equivalent of pulling out your battery. There's no sound or vibration to indicate that the phone is off so you assume that there is no problem, when in fact the phone is off.

It's a simple fix....don't use the 2G/3G toggle in the Power Control Widget. Using it under Wireless & Network Settings > Mobile Network Settings > "Use only 2G networks" is perfectly fine.

I need some people who know how to cherry-pick commits from Gerrit to test http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7394 and let me know if it works. This kernel has lots of new stuff including OC/UV etc, so need some people to test vibrant. My vibrant died with a bad USB connector, and none of the Vibrant testers are available these days (maybe because we'd sort of abandoned it for a while). I don't really want to push something that is broken, but if I don't hear from anyone - I'm going to just commit it and see people squack and use that as my "test"! In fact, forget it - it's going in! Squack if it breaks for you - and hopefully I'll see it! :)

@Atinm: For the OC/UV and other small things, who are you getting the settings from?

I'm asking because based on what I've read, the most stable overclocks and tweaks come from the Glitch Kernel V12 (the new beta) and the most stable variant for people would be the high leakage.
