@devs

I've been testing gingerbread bootloaders and as we all know, battery has been a LOT better when phone is idle. Ofc external sd does not work with any of the bootloaders.

Is there any development going on to get the external sd to work? If I remember right, you Zach have been working with that problem. Have you found out the cause of the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
yes...yes...idle battery drain is almost unoticeable for me ... but idk if its from the bootloaders or just normal cm7 battery drain but while in use it seems it drains alot harder than usual

also, amy winehouse is dead
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kevin2516:
Yeah, after testing the gingerbread bootloaders, battery drain when the phone is idle isn't as much as froyo bootloaders. i lost 3% overnight in... 9 hrs, on froyo i was losing like 9-10%, but the drain when you start using the wifi/3g etc is pretty much the same/similar for me (probably a BIT better).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
I haven't found any difference between Froyo and Gingerbread bootloaders when USING the phone. And tbh I don't care about the usage drain since the phone is lagless and really fast. Idle drain is just plain stupid with Froyo bootloaders, because with my phone overnight idle usage is usually between 15-20% vs around 5% with Gingerbread bootloaders.

And just to be clear I have 3G always on with background data. I rarely use wifi since my 3g connection is really fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
Ohh...then maybe it's all in my head. :D

Ohh..can someone recommend a modem that has very very strong 3g signal. I will pay a visit to the country side and can only get edge :( , to slow for my taste.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
Well, JVQ has been one of the best for me. Although, I forgot to change the modem last time I flashed cm7 and I think JVK is somewhat faster than JVQ.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
Just installed #65 and found something weird. When I power down the the phone (not sleep but turn off) to charge via charge cable. It will show the charging animation for 1 second and then reboot.

Is this normal? I normally charge the phone with it totally off so how can you really turn it off?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
It's normal for cyanogenmod. Samsung has made a different approach and "allows" charging while phone is off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] denvro:
It's not possible to charge your phone when it switched off. This has something to do with the kernel. When you plug in your charger cable the phone switches on. But don't worry it makes no difference at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
Modem isn't re-flashed upon upgrading nightlies, so you should still have JVQ.

So i'd call it placebo... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sinotek:
I got a battery question (I know it's annoying but I would appreciate an answer).

I'm coming from MIUI and I'm wondering if this ROM has the same battery drain issues that MIUI has (MIUI is based on it after all :P )

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
Thanks for the info, yeah I found that a bit weird. But if that's how it is I guess that's how it is ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
well miui is based on cm7 so maybe...but it depends on the miui build :)

for example miui has better sensors so drains less battery on that part...but its your call...i used miui for a day and changed back to cm7 because there was battery drain... :)

good luck with your choice
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
I did not just re-flash/upgrade nightly. I tried latest Samsungs offerings and decided to switch back to cm7 --> thats where I forgot to switch modem to jvq.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sinotek:
Hmm ok. I'll give CM7 a shot. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
Hi all,

I am thinking of going back to my old Samsung custom ROM (F1 V5). Is this the right way to flash it back ?

1) Flash Stock GB ROM (JVP based) with 512 pit

2) Root it

3) Put CWM

4) Flash my custom ROM in CWM

Do I need to make sure the stock rom has GB Bootloaders?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
As far as I know if you are flashing back it really doesn't matter if you flash back to Froyo or GB, ODIN will sort you out automatically.

However, it likely makes sense to flash back to a stock that has the same bootloaders as the custom ROM you will be installing, to save headaches later on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shayp:
Yep..Bl is important ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
Thank you,

Yes my stock and custom rom are the same bootloader. Also, do I need to check update bootloaders in ODIN?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Again, afaik, there is never a need to check Update Bootloaders. If the tar you are flashing includes bootloaders it will install them automatically.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
Ah all clear now. Thank you again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
You will return shortly...

When you have been CMonized, there's not turning back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
Hehe, I hope so coz CM7 is good but the lack of flawless Video HD recording, Video TV out and inconsitent GPS performance is breaking the deal for me. I hope it does get better though ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I have had my phone do some weird things when it was just in my pocket...such as starting one of those Negative-image Boot-animation reboots. I think it has something to do with the residual trans-dimensional object energy in your pocket. That, or we need to stop wearing magnetic underwear.

As for your bootloops...Hold the power button down for 10 seconds to power cycle the phone and see if it boots normally.

Why do they happen?....At the end of the day, it's just a mystery....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gulmat:
Hahaha lovn that explaination! And yes when i hold the power button for 10 sec it finaly boot normal. I guess i'll wait to see if the probleme goes away in the future nightlies! Thanks for the help

Does anyone have spare froyo bootloaders? :D

Siky do you have any?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
If you are on Froyo, you need to download a Gingerbread ROM with Bootloader,

but if you are on an Gingerbread ROM and want to flash an other Gingerbread ROM (e.g. XXJVK>>>XXJVQ), you need to flash the "normal" version.

Pls. read this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
No.

"Again, afaik, there is never a need to check Update Bootloaders. If the tar you are flashing includes bootloaders it will install them automatically."

You always need to check which ROM (with Bootloader or without bootloader) to download and flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
I have best results getting the compass to work by using "GPS status" - tools - compass calibration

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ahmmyreal:
actually i noticed it too, the picture quality is poor.

This rom also has the "Android OS" bug that was present in darky's v10.1 rom. on idle, for 7 hours, i checked battery usage and android os was on 62% and android system on 22% which is very bad. when i installed CM7 on gingerbread bootloaders android os never passes 5% and android system never passes 3% i have a good battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ahmmyreal:
how can one change from a custom kernel to CM7 stock? im on glitch and i didnt like how it decrese my screen brightness. and i didnt really see the use of the kernel since i didnt oc my phone, the last time i did the phone temperature increased.

On the previous nightly, i also encounter this issue (not able to send emails, emails in outbox is in sending status) and i solve it by flash the GAPP with version gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip again after flashing nightly. Of cause with clear cache partition and dalvik.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I feel the strange, obsessive need to say a few words about Gingerbread Bootloaders.

When the fact that you could use GB bootloaders with CM7 after all came to light, several hardy explorers sallied forth to Recovery to test them out. Some reported better battery life, though I am not sure why that would be since afaik, the bootloader doesn't play a part after your phone is booted up and most of the battery drain is due to RIL problems. Perhaps something about the way it invokes the OS makes it more efficient. EDIT: FadeFX informs me that it is due to the sleep policy of Froyo Bootloaders, which makes sense.

However, the how and why are beside the point.

Soon after the tests began, the Devs (you remember them, don't you?) reminded us that using the GB bootloaders would kill the external SD and cause strange graphical errors.

"We don't CARE, we just want our phones to last days and DAYS," howled the explorers.

"Well OK then," said the Devs, "but remember that using GB bootloaders are totally untested and will probably cause other kinds of unexpected behavior and instabilities that we can't even dream of now, so use them at your own risk...or...well...at even MORE of your own risk than normal."

And the explorers made many rude noises of dismissal and did just as they damn well pleased, which is part of the Android philosophy so the Devs were affectionately chuffed and moved on.

In Internet time this all took place a lifetime ago, but in reality about two months....therefore it has been largely forgotten. Since then, several people have been commenting (and complaining) about the GB bootloaders as if they are a standard install options. They are not. That they work at all speaks volumes to the fault tolerance of CM7. By electing to use GB bootloaders, as is your right, you are forcing the OS to work with a bootloader it was not designed for, therefore all sorts of screwy things might happen...in fact likely different screwy things will happen on each phone.

Just as some people need to keep being reminded that if they have a custom kernel installed then they won;t get much help in this thread, the same is likely true for GB bootloaders. By installing them, you have gone out into the ether, and no one really knows how every little feature on your phone will behave.

If you are having a problem, try to reinstall the Froyo bootloaders and see if the problem persists. If it does, then let us all know about it. If on the other hand the problem goes away when the proper bootloaders are installed, then likely it will just be something you will have to live with if you want the GB bootloaders.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Rschenck, you are right with the major part of your post, but...

The development stated long time ago that a big downside of froyo bootloaders is that they have problems to set some devices to sleep and so drain the battery faster.

Whereas gingerbread bootloaders have issues like missing sdcard and graphical glitches at boot (which seem to be gone) and maybe others that nobody knows of by now.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
You're joking, right?

You MUST be joking.

There is no way that you didn't bother to read anything in this thread about battery life before posting, or failed to educate yourself about the fact that due to the RIL issues caused by Samsung refusing to release Source, battery life is probably as good as it is going to get.

You also would never issue an arrogant, clueless command to the devs like "please fix it" as if they were waiters and you wanted a fifth slice of coconut cream pie.

Therefore, it must be a joke. Such a card, you are.

Why does my new Market FC? Is there a fix for it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Is this the new market as leaked a few weeks ago on edgadget, or the market from Gapps?

Either way, try going into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, finding Market and deleting the cache. If that doesn't work, go to the same place and try Uninstalling Updates. You can also try clearing the cache for Google Services Framework.

If none of that helps, reinstall the market or Gapps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
I tried it too.

Non of the above helps for some reason.

Tried to revert back by uninstalling market update and the phone had a soft boot.

Tried to reinstall GAPPS and had no luck.

The only way it worked for me was by removing /system/app/vending.apk and copy the old one which I backed-up.

Maybe removing /system/app/vending.apk and reinstalling GAPPS might work too.

Edit: Also don't forget to fix permissions of course...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mr. phillip:
Well, getting back to topic...

Yesterday i found a strange bug, and i don't know if i'm the only one with it...

Usually i have screen rotation off, but yesterday i turned it on for some web browsing, and i realised that when i put the phone horizontally, i.e. over a table or something (in the case over the bed, but that's not really the point...) it rebooted...

I was on Opera Mini, putted down the phone to do something else, and when i picked it up, it has rebooted... :S

I've managed to reproduce that a lot of times...

Turning screen rotation off, the problem is gone...

I'm on nightly #61 with stock kernel...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Just tested this and didn't have any reboots...but when the phone is horizontal the screen doesn't rotate when I turn it.

I never use screen rotation, so is that according to spec?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mr. phillip:
Well, probably it's not a widespread problem, maybe specific of some installed app running or whatever... The problem is that it was not random, i've reproduced it about 3 or 4 times... screen rotation on, put the phone on a plain surface, and here we go... rebooting!

Well like it's been mentioned, there is a little bit of battery drain on cm7 and that is normal.

However, that said, sometimes I get ridiculous battery drain of 1% every few minutes. Usually that's caused by a rogue app which is on a mission to cause insomnia in your phone so that it can't sleep.

For me, a reboot of the phone fixes it in most cases.

Just woke up

@rschenck- about the constant reporting of mine about gb bootloaders vs froyo bootloaders, it was jist a comparison.

People heard that there are no more problems with it, except the sd card not working, and i just put them face to face and enumerate the problems.

Pros :-even more stable(idk for sure)

-idle drain (after every 11-12 hours of sleep, drain 2-3 % instead of 11-12 %)

-i see that 3g drain is not present anymore, cuz i'm using it right now,(H) and battery drains like normal.

Cons:-sd does not work(don't care cuz don't use one)

-umm, in use, battery seems that it drains more than ussual, i may have mentioned this, but maybe its all in my head.

-it has wifi drain, which froyo didn't have.

So, yeah.
