Has anyone noticed random reboots while screen off in vibration mode on 36?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:

Attach /proc/last_kmsg or it didn't happen.

I would "like" this post if I could.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
kmsg attached as requested, i also noticed this happened on 34, now i had Skype open and running, 3g active, phone was set to vibrate, with auto brightness, screen went off, i looked at my phone and noticed that my phone was rebooting, and then entered a boot loop. I pulled battery and everything rebooted fine.

i went from 34 to 29 to 36 (needed bluetooth) not sure if that has any bearing on the random reboot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Erm, need the /proc/last_kmsg if you have that from when you rebooted after the kernel crash. That's where the kernel saves its log when it crashes - so you need to get it as soon as you have the crash. the /proc/kmsg is the "current" log - that's no good for a crash that happened before (the file you attached isn't showing a crash, so I am assuming you got /proc/kmsg rather than last_kmsg).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
ah my apologies, hmm im not seeing one in my /proc directory, i wonder if it some how got wiped when i didnt let the phone complete the boot cycle and pulled the battery. ill keep it in mind in the event it happens again.

on a side note the dirty hack you did for the mute/unmute problem is working beautifully.

If i havent already thank you so much for your patience and your dedication to CM on the vibrant. Once i finish up with examinations i will be more than glad to try and contribute what ever i can to the CM project with my limited knowledge.

you can try but itll prlly end up breaking things, you want to flash from a 2.1+ rom, prefferably 2.2

Is wiping /data almost as good as odin?

Had a bad flash awhile ago. Phone has had FC issues since. I know odin to stock, blah, blah,... Is the best method but what about just wipping the data partition to save some hassle. Then flashing the latest.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
You could use clockworkmod recovery to format /system. Then you're not even flashing over stock. That's the best way.

CLEAR DATA (not clear cache, clear DATA)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OccamsToothbrush:
So the cm7 camera application won't auto focus, right? I've seen talk of the hardware for focus being controlled by a closed source binary, or something, meaning cm7 for vibrant won't get auto focus unless that source is released.

My question is this: How does the barcode scanner application do it? I was using that app earlier today and noticed that it definitely controls the auto focus.

If the cm7/aosp camera app can't be made to do it, is there another 3rd party app that will?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
it supports auto focus, it doesn't support *touch to focus*
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OccamsToothbrush:
I must be doing something wrong, then. I can't seem to get it to change focus at all. I selected the focus on shutter press option, and nothing seems to change.

Am I missing some other option that needs to be enabled somewhere?

I'd love to be able to take close up pictures again, that aren't blurry.

no, this is included to convert users coming from the old partition layout. it's used to tell how the partition is laid out to see if it needs to be converted to the new partition layout. if it succeeds, it converts... if it fails, it goes about business as usual.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dougfresh:
Just to concur, I can't see my emmc card due to GB bootloader from a previous Rom.If

so do I mandatorily need to fresh odin or just install the froyo b/l.

If so do a nanadroid first then odin then restore?

Edit:just odined froyo tar and always cycles back to cmw.odined back GB b/l and rebooted normally.

Don't want to wipe any suggestions besides back to stock? THANKS
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
Make a nandroid (since CM7 makes our phones mtd partitions, it will backup kernel as well), you need to Odin back to jfd, Odin the froyo bootloader, then flash CM7, then restore nandroid.

Did you ever get this working. I'm looking to get the stock clock back on the i9000 but can't get it to work.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
Touchwiz isn't just a launcher. It's also stuff in the framework, services, etc. To get the alarm clock working, requires touchwiz in the framework stuff, which isn't going to happen on CM7.

My Search and home buttons don't work. YES, I flashed the Vibrant ROM version.

Buttons stopped working after flashing cm_vibrantmtd_full-54. They still give heptic feedback. Reflashed. Same.

Just to make sure, my titianiumbackup, DCIM, and music folders as well as nandroid backups will survive the reset right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Yes they will but restoring with titanium might also restore some of your issues.

Google will automatically restore all your apps but not your data. For best results you should start totally fresh.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MalcolmMP:
Has anyone had any success hooking their phone up to the Google ADK (Open Accessory Development Kit)? Steve Kondik tweeted a couple weeks back that it should work with most CM7 phones, but as far as I can tell there's no official list or any real way to tell if it's supported on a phone short of plugging it into one.

I saw one hack where some people were having success by pushing a permissions xml and a jar file to their phones, but I think it requires additional support to be compiled with the kernel itself.

My buddy's Nexus S with CM7 pulls it off and gets recognized without any trouble, but my Vibrant (running nightlies) isn't doing its part of the handshake.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
You don't need to (and don't want to) worry about going to gb bootloaders when using CM7 based roms. Since you don't seem to have them, yew just flash normally, but I wouldn't use rom manager to flash, do it manually in cwm.

Just ADB'd into the shell and ran a ls. Also adb rebooted and all went without a hitch.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MalcolmMP:
Hey Phateless, thanks for taking the time to check on that. I should have been more specific though. ADB and all of the usual stuff works just fine for me, but this is for the Arduino-based ADK hardware kits that Google announced at Google I/O this year. The code was written for 3.1+ and backported to 2.3.4, and consists of some kind of additional layer over USB so that apps on the phone can interact with hardware that you build.

As far as I can tell it requires an actual ADK board to test. For anyone who's interested, info is at: accessories [dot] android [dot] com (Too much lurking, not enough posting, can't send links).

Noobie question

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I did try parsing through the threads but I'm hoping to get a few questions answered which didn't already find. I just rooted my phone and I'm planning on installing Cyanogen 7. However, before I do, I just wanted to clarify a few things.

1)GPS-I'm told this is fixed but still somewhat buggy. The current froyo stock ROM GPS really isn't all that reliable but it does work. If Cyanogenrom is equal to that, I'll be fine. However, if it's worse, that's a concern for for me. Can anyone give me an answer as to how it compares to the GPS on stock froyo.

2) I currently have most of my apps loaded on SD Card since I have the stock froyo. Will I have to reformat the card after the Cyanogen install or does it even matter?

3) Does the 3 button combo into recovery mode still work? If not, what are my other options?

4)Is Video playback still choppy in certain formats.

5) I've seen some youtube videos where people have installed the Voodoo kernel with Cyanogen and they've eliminated practically all lag issues. Does Cyanogenmod on the Vibrant have any frequent lag issues where the voodoo kernel is necessary?

Again, I apologize if my questions have been addressed before but if someone would be kind enough to help me, I would be grateful.

However, if it's worse, that's a concern for for me. Can anyone give me an answer as to how it compares to the GPS on stock froyo.

--For me GPS is on par with Froyo. That said its also a battery hog so I turn it off unless I need it.

3) Does the 3 button combo into recovery mode still work? If not, what are my other options?

--Depends on what bootloaders you have. If you have not flashed the GB bootloaders 3 button combo will work (unless you have a hardware locked phone)

4)Is Video playback still choppy in certain formats.

--CM7 does not have proprietary drivers. I convert all my movies to .mp4 and all is well. If you have a movie in say .wmv format you will need a movie player from the market that can play it. It will most likely have to decode via software and not hardware thus you may have some chop.

5) I've seen some youtube videos where people have installed the Voodoo kernel with Cyanogen and they've eliminated practically all lag issues. Does Cyanogenmod on the Vibrant have any frequent lag issues where the voodoo kernel is necessary?

--OK "Voodoo" has different meanings. There is Voodoo sound, Voodoo Color, and Voodoo lagfix. Voodoo sound and color gives you the ability to tweak sound and screen color. Voodoo lagfix changes the old Samsung $hitty file system (RFS) to a commonly used .ext4 file system. The .ext4 filesystem is much faster - thus its a "lag fix". CM7 (and variants) use a yaffs files system (Yet Another Flash File System) - its again much faster than Samsung's RFS file system so the Voodoo lagfix is not needed.

I m from cm7 7.1.0.1 and i wonder is it possible to chg to miui withput Odin. And wad steps do i take? Thx.=)

--most ROMS will have instructions on flashing, but for the most part from a CM7 based ROM to a CM7 based ROM is a straight flash. Going from CM7 to 2.1 or and 2.3.x - JV* (like JVQ) ROMS require Odin due to different partition tables.

Do a wipe and reflash.

Start in clockworkmod recovery to do this manually.

Format /system.

Wipe data/factory reset.

Flash rom. It will auto reboot into rom.

Go back into recovery.

Flash gapps.

Wipe data factory reset again.

Reboot and WAIT. Let it sit there on the sign in screen for a full 10 mins before you set up.

Recovery on cm7 for sgs devices isn't working outside of shutting down the phone and using buttons to get into dl/recovery. So don't try to use rom manager.
