battery life was much better for me... went to sleep @ 100 got up 6 hrs later with 95% still never happened before

bluetooth turns on... and doesn't reset the phone anymore

no more process.phone force closures

on newer CM builds with GB bls my text messages were not sending or taking forever to. now its instant.

just more confident that the phone will work... where as before when i was out of the house i couldn't make calls or the phone would just reset, when i needed to use it most... pretty embarrassing when you rely on the phone for work etc.

What about the problem with /cache too small? How do you install apks larger then 30MB? Can a workaround (like this one) be implemented in CM7?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ktuluz:
Compass works. But acts odd. I.e I have to calibrate it each boot. And let it lye flat on table.. maybe calibrate it again.. etc etc. But then once it starts pointing north its rigth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ktuluz:
+1 on that. Had issue installing from market because of "not enough space on device"

Help regarding reverting back to stock kernel CM7.

I'm newbie. I flashed Glitch Kernel, but I don't like the colors, and the external SD card is not recognized.

Can anybody tell me how to revert back to stock kernel?

Device : Galaxy s-i9000

Build - 85

Please help!!!!!:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xt700:
Just reflash the nightly:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dfolt:
Reflash nightly ? And you will have again stock kernel oO

Thank you!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] encho:
For me no problems at all. No fc, fast and smooth, best battery life till now, even the camera is ok. On nightly 84, might stay here for awhile. Or not... must...flash...now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mbutandola:
Hi guys,

Some questions from a noob here. It sounds as though gingerbread bootloaders are starting to kick in and improve battery life.

Is it safer to flash a whole gingerbread rom or only the bootloaders would be enough as codeworks says that "AN UNSUCCESSFULLY FLASH WILL HARDBRICK YOUR PHONE!"

And a more stupid question: how can I check the MD5SUMS?

Thank you for your answers.

Edit: done some research. Got the MD5SUMS thanks. But the rest of the question still stands
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vorbeth:
Yes, and it works great too
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ock:
I would say both are equally safe once you have the correct file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ock:
This works in MIUI, not sure if it's an easy hack or something, would really be a practical and useful tweak as some may install large games from the market. Would love to hear some comments from developers about the possibility of implementing this. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mbutandola:
Thanks.

I think I might stay with froyo bootloaders for now until there's a clear tutorial on the first page and an all clear from the dev. Can't afford to brink my phone at the moment.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
a i9000 is actually very hard to brick...even a idiot can can flash via odin and succeed :)

those who are on this thread with bricked phones are a exception :D

check the OP...it does not specify anymore that you need froyo bootloaders.

do whatever you want...go crazy ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mbutandola:
Very hard to brick indeed. But you mess up with bootloaders and you are f***** . And messing up with bootloaders is quite easy lol. Will I still have CWM recovery or shall I have to flash a custom kernel before getting back to CM7? One more thing, could you be kind enough to point me towards some clear instructions to flash the bootloaders? Cheers.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mbutandola:

Couldn't wait! lol Flashing BG bootloaders. Now let's prey :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mbutandola:
Done! All running fine! Seems even snappier. Might be just sheer enthusiasm lol.

Went for the safer way of flashing darky 10.2. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
How low power is low power mode though? It's booted linux, just not android. (And you can adb in)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] francomile:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexandruvlad:
So not for daily use , i guess , only benchmark purposes :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
well, the 1.4 GHz afaik isn't locked all the time

so it should be pretty similar like other kernels (like stock, mine or bilboa1's kernel)

but once it provides performance it'll suck the juice out of the battery :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edgardurao:
App radio is here,o'nly missing the support in kernel i Guess. No ETA i think
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
nope - kernel driver is fine :)

the framework needs rewrite

take a look at coolya's repository on github

if anyone has time & feels like it:

clone and hack away :)

First time on cyanogenmod last night :). came from JVH (well, reflashed to jpu first to get the froyo bootloader). Very smooth and nice!!!

I had heard about "ril" problems requiring lock and unlock of screen, but I also noticed various gfx glitches before the screen was locked and unlocked. afterwards of course it was super smooth.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] terranq:
I f***ing KNEW it!!

Seriously though, why isn't everybody running this rom?

I posted a few days back that I was going to go back to a Sammy rom because the battery life just wasn't quite there for me. I went back to one that I used previously (Simply Honey 2.7). The lag damn near killed me, and when I first used that rom, I didn't even notice any lag. But compared to CM7, it was slooooow.

tl;dr-don't even think, just flash this rom.

NOW
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tt0204:
Did the recent updates (0501-0509) improve battery life? CM7 really drains a lot of battery.(but still great!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eagle06:
I think with the recent update battery drain is more(using jvk modem).

And when i insert earphones the music player sound is high but it has some hiss sound/disturbance hitting vol +/- makes the disturbance dissappear.

On smartass governor and 1.5GHz OC, I get two days and half with 0605 update on normal use. It was two days with older builds. That's more or less what I got on sammy roms with 100MHz less OC. Pretty useable daily if you ask me.. ;)

not just that question, if people read like 10 or so pages behind they would get the awnsers they seek. matters concerning bootloaders (how to flash, flashing rom other gb rom and then cm7 vs. flashing bootloaders while already on cm7, IT'S ALL THE SAME!) were widely discussed before, so use search This Thread or check the OP and wiki.

bootloaders are 2 files, so small, you probably won't have issues flashing them ever, unless you're stupid and shutdown your computer, remove usb, or windows gives you hell while you're doing a qzillion things at the same time because you have a great pc, and odin crashes while flashing those damn bootloaders.

guess what, that could have happen several times now, when switching from froyo builds to gb builds. you just need to read stuff several times on howto do it before you flash stuff, not ask! several times before you flash stuff. everything you need is here, learn from others experiences/posts/mistakes and how to gather information.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
adb while charging with phone off. that's a great feature. never thought of trying that. beautiful. out of curiosity, do sammy roms have this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
it was expected, to say the least.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
Not by default. One can hack it in though. (Like I did to analyze how low power mode works).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] baba420:
Battery stuff

I always thought that the claim 'idle drain even better than samsung roms' was just an advertisement to flash CM7, but it's freaking true! :eek:

If you are on wifi or 2G the juice plotter shows almost a horizontale line.

You may call me crazy but just after flashing a nightly I reboot and then I toggle airplain mode for 3 times in row. Just a tip for people with high Android OS drain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mbutandola:
Thank you for that. Didn't wanna bother. I did try and get some info from here. Anyway, all is fine now. Have flashed a GB rom and CM7 #85 running fine. Just reinstalling my apps with appbrain installer. Thx again for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
something wrong about how you flashed it mate. either that or you have one of those yellow sim cards.

edit: maybe not. was dialer updated since that latest "stable" nightly for your phone? only way to know would be here, but earliest nightly with changelog is #68. maybe there's only a few phones that react like that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
i just remember something i should share. it's about that issue when people call you, and you can't hear anything? i "discovered" that if i put the caller on hold, and then unhold it, i will be able to listen to the caller without hanging up and call back. :)

please test if it works with you when it happens, if it happens. i'll try to get this on logcat, it should come up under radio messages?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
OMG you hack stuff?? *scary*

:D seriously, i find this and what you guys do very interesting. especially when our phones are the guinea pigs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Necrolust:
HEAVEN FORBID someone (me) has actually read the last ~10 pages but was skimming and might have missed the one or two posts that contained the information I need. Jesus mate, no need to make assumptions and fly off the rocker over something that you could have answered in this post instead of being an idiot.

Yeah, because when someone asks what a specific change in the changelog actually is, its due to people flashing gingerbread bootloaders. What the hell, man?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
i read them 10 pages everyday because i know there's info in there i need, scattered throughout the same questions, repeated time after time. and there's people who has a real issue or in search of something new. this is cm7, everyday has an update. the post siky_dude made was like 3 pages behind your question, not 10. learn how to gather information. do you know you can search inside a thread, and inside posts, not just in topic titles, right? i think if you had search for 'low power' you would have got the info you needed.

go read a few pages back that, and you'll see how many times it was asked. how many posts saying exactly the same thing do you think you could write, trying to keep sanity and order in this joint? now i understand people that stopped posting because of this, people too lazy to search. there's tools to do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drakenabarion:
Have to say that the past few weeks had some great changes. I forgot to charge my battery yesterday and have been running for 1d16h ish and am only down to 16%. Sure they haven't been my busiest days but that was impossible on any other rom.

So great work! Thanks for all the effort on this project!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
hi people,

just want to share my experience with those who are still suffering from the battery drain problem (well...if there are any).

In long:

ages ago, I abandoned good ol' froyo and switched to the initial nightlys before they became official. from that time onwards, major improvements have been made but batt life has never been good (6 ~ 8 hrs), even after flashing #77 together with GB bootloader. I thought it is just a necessary compromise in exchange for stellar performance. I wondered why some people could squeeze 3 days out of a single charge, so I wipe/format my phone again and again with no luck.

yesterday I was kinda fad up with it (missed a few important calls due to dead battery) so I went and flashed a complete stock JVR rom from samfirmware. However, I could no longer stand stock roms after enjoying all the cm7 goodies so I switched back shortly.

And *boom*. No charge cycles, no extra tweaks, just restored apps using ti backup and went to bed. 10hrs and 8% drop, from 56% to 48%. Amazing.

In short:

Battery drain? Start again from a stock gingerbread rom, e.g. JVR.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ASHURiCAN:
Thank you for your share, will try it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ktuluz:
Thanks for your experiance but i came from stock jvr rom to cm7 and after 3days up got android os batt drain. Wipe cache etc helped

But seems to be a bit on the random side. Also can't seem to get compass to work today after flashing #85.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
I just found out something else about battery life, it seems to me if i charge overnight up to full and unplug in the morning, idle drain is 3%/h if i charge in the evening and stop at lets say 98% charge i get idle drain of prox 1%/3hrs... i will try to watch this for a while, but if that is true, we have a bug in battery driver...

12 hrs on the latest nightly and just about 20% drain. Better than any custom kernel i have tried so far and as good as I remember froyo to be at its best. WTG guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jscurtu:
Gee.... all i read is crap about custom kernels, glitch, neo and stuff about darky rom just to get a damn bootloader.. miui crap and people flashing the hell out without reading how to go back before even doing it.

Why cant we stay on topic, its hard to read real things if everyone shouts out ..

Even if all these things in some way relate to cm7 on sgs. In real, they dont and they all have thier own projects and threads. If you use something unofficial then its hard to read about real issues with the real project.

Custom kernels belong in thier own threads!! People having problems with them dont ask for advice here!

If i understand right, this is a official thread. Not a generic all in all cm on sgs or i did something stupid thread.

If anyone needs bootloaders, here is the true answer: you dont need to flash a full rom, its not safer than flashing just the bootloaders. As a matter of fact, they are both the same unsafe and the main reason for bricking a device!!

Save your time, if you need to flash them as you only live once.. only flash the proper bootloader, thats all! And dont keep doing it.. its a risc!

Just for the record, IMHO Miui sucks!!

Its not fair or in the meaning of open source.. it dont only look like apple, they work like apple too..

take open software pack it in a box, and close it up. People by it cause it looks good..........

Im out of here....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
When I bought my phone it came with a spare battery and a separate battery charger. I always have the impression that after charging with the external charger, the battery lasts a bit longer than being charged inside my phone. dunno if these are related though.

Needs a bit of "scientific" testing to verify both of them...Or everything is nothing but a placebo :p
