Correct, by default the external SD card in CM7 is located at /emmc, which is the proper AOSP way of doing things. An external_sd folder is usually created on the internal SD by one program or another that THINKS it is saving files on the removable SD card, but isn't. C'est la guerre.

BTW, you can reverse things, and have all files and apps automatically saved on the external SD AS IF it were the internal storage by changing the settings in CM Settings > Applications.

Hi, I'm from Portugal and a couple days ago I've installed CM-7.1.0. Everything is stock (namely the baseband\modem XXJVK). I'm very happy with the speed and configuration possibilities, and everything works fine.

But I would like to improve (until what is feasible at this moment) the battery life. Already turn off 3G. I've read some posts stating that different modems makes different battery consumption, but I'm not clear which apply to my country.

In another thread, mloc33 made a good and extent review of different modems (in Ireland) but didn't mention specifically battery usage. Some posts state that JVP or JVO presents good results. So, first of all, if you have a couple modems that you suggest to try (I'm from Portugal and using TMN network), please advice.

At this moment I don't have USB connectivity (long story ...) so I just can install via Recovery (file on sdcard). Do you advice avoiding update the modem via Recovery or that should not be a problem?

Carrier IQ

Thanks for the reply. This is very reassuring and another reason to change to CyanogenMod for other users. :)

I hope that all the fuss around Carrier IQ gives a strong signal to phone builders that there are limits to data collection. Imagine: 141 million handsets and all information on every move of its users available for querying. Sounds like 1984! CarrierIQ = CIA? The CIA would get wet dreams on this.

Cyanogenmod 7 build# 181 is really good now. Got more than 50% battery left after a full day of WiFi.

Waiting for the CyanogenMod Ice Cream Sandwich version. Looks like a real iPhone killer :)

OMG, CIA watched pornz with me ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wlvrn:
based on that, a possible shortlist could be: JPP; JV7; JV9; JVO; JVQ

first question: how can I confirm that all of them are applicable to Portugal?

second question: can I install, with confidence, via recovery?

I've been on CM7 for months,. I decided to try out ICS, but had an issues when upgrading from build 5 to build 6. Now my phone is stuck at the Samsung logo splash screen. I cannot access recovery mode, but I CAN access download mode.

My question is what is the simplest way of getting access to CWM so that I can restore a nandroid backup of CM7? I am hesitant to flash a stock firmware because my phone has MTD parititions from CM7, and I can't seem to find a version of CM7 for Odin anywhere. All I need is something that will let me boot into CWM so I can restore my nandroid backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bork84:
If you can only get to download mode than odin is your only option. and you cant get a CM7 odin version. flash a stock rom with odin, than flash a costume kernel to get CWM and then flash CM7, than you can restore your backup.

Yeah, uhhm, it is not exactly that although that would be ideal. It is that uhh, if htc wouldn't feel comfortable if cm uses its files on Samsung phone cm they might also feel not so comfortable if they are used for cm in general.

Or that Samsung wouldn't feel comfortable if theirs are used for something else but touchwizz roms.

Ot, but i think in Australia they are allowed to sell the 10.1 again, also in USA apple had no success with their trivial patents and i am pretty sure they will be able to sell either the 10.1 or the 10.1n in Germany as well. Also retailers can just buy from Samsung Korea, as only Samsung Germany is prohibitted to sell the tab.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Well, my point wasn't so much that using HTC's proprietary files was unethical...more that:

1) It seemed from reports to be a partial fix at best and quite untested on this hardware and ROM.

2) A bit unethical for the original poster to have said in several posts that he was going to code a solution to his problems, and then to suddenly release a MOD without attributing it as if it were his work. He did put a note up after he was called on it, saying it was not his MOD save for some tweaking, but it would still be nice to know where he found it and what it actually is/does. Since the Dev thread is for people to post THEIR OWN WORK, this was flying a bit close to the wind.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
You're right brother but I modified the libs for my own usage and shared on dev thread. They're HTC's libs thats true. But works for me and people. And I can't produce libs from nothing. That's true.

So what must I do now? I can request a mod to move thread another discussion. Sorry if I'm wrong. I hope you find it usefull.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drakenabarion:
I tend to agree. The posts linked here have absolutely minimal information. (Hence my first reaction of asking if the would be added to cm7 - basically asking if it was more than a hack).

That the Samsung Galaxy S phone itself has been loaded with GPS problems is not news. Different people have had different levels of success using different radios, different kernels, various hardware modifications and god knows what on different hardware revisions of the same phone. These problems are real but not CM7 specific. They are something which has plagued the SGS since launch.

Therefore I will not file (yet) another GPS bug on the CM7 buglist, on something they can't really fix in a reliable way.

2G/3G Data Disconnection Issue

Sure Zach. Over the last 3-4 weeks i was fiddling with the APN Settings among other things like trying different Kernels etc. I removed the default APN Settings that CM7 gave in conjunction to my service provider i.e. Airtel (in India). The problem remained even after i had deleted this default APN and created my own APN with the basic settings (the same settings that worked flawlessly with every other ROM except CM7) given by my Operator. Just out of instinct I added 8080 as port number in the Server Field and reboot my phone....and voila it completely fixed the problem to my surprise. Well, i'm no dev....but this DID IT!!! :D

This might at the most help other Airtel Users in India but might not globally as their settings ought to be different....hence did not post it earlier....well...it's on XDA for all now... hope it helps others....

Just reboot into recovery using 3 button combo and wipe cache and dalvik cache under advanced and you'll be set to go ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DvTonder:
I would certainly hold off on installing older custom kernels on a newer version of the nightly - you will just revert the changes the devs made (as pointed out most changes are in the kernel at this time) and you may end up with a unstable phone.

Once Bilboa and Zach update their kernels after a new nightly, I have learned to wait at least a day before I install it. That way they can iron out the issues that inevitably appear with each new iteration. Last night I broke this rule and ended up with a missing recovery and having to reflash with ODIN as a result.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it's not a thing of avoiding the custom kernels but to get a matching set of system + kernel

currently everything is in a very fast flux so with very frequent updates it's probably best to stay away from custom kernels for some time and flash them when they're known to work (read: up-to-date) - otherwise you might end up with a (semi-)broken system (boot loops, non-working reboot to recovery, etc.)

which of course is easily fixable with flashing the kernel (zImage only) via Odin or heimdall

under all circumstances DO NOT FLASH OTHER things with ODIN since it will for sure break your system

CM7 / MIUI use a different kind of partitioning and set up
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
