You will need to flash a kernel with CWM, such as Speedmod first, but after that you will be Golden. Just use CWM to flash the latest nightly from Recovery...it will automatically replace your modem with one suitable for CM7.

Use this guide...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101534
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guijarrelson:
I read your guide before, and I see this:

"Confirm you have Clockwork Mod recovery running. If not, flash this Speedmod kernel if you are on Froyo. If you are on Gingerbread flash the TalonDev kernel"

I have the CF-Root kernel with CMW 3.0.0.5 and I can go into recovery mode. Is this possible to flash CM7 with this kernel?

Also I have EXT4 filesystems, RFS is needed to run CM7?

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Yep. As long as you have cwm recovery you are fine. I just give speedmod and talon as suggestions.

As for file system, it doesn't matter as cm7 will strip whatever system you have now out like Julia Child deboning a rabbit, and replace it with Ext4/yaffs2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guijarrelson:
Okay, I'll give a shoot in the CMW... I wish all came well.. :)

For those having problems with the stock Email client not releasing the wakelocks, it looks like someone has found out what the issue is, and Google has acknowledged it. I'm not a programmer and have no idea about how these things work, but maybe someone who does could see about getting this fix implemented into CM7, or at least our version of it. Link to the solution is here, along with a modified Email.apk that allegedly fixes the problem with the email wakelock: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17364606

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] samiulislam16:
now my Q. is i am using galnet miui twooeyIII with gb bootloader and CWM v4.x.x

can i flash cm7 nightly or do i need CWM v3.x.x :confused:

also i think that Julia Child will be deboning a duck:p

thnakx for ur guide
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Coming from MIUI all you need to do is do a data wipe, then flash the Cm7 Nightly from Recovery...the CWM version should be fine.

And I would have said duck, but the squilch noise a rabbit makes is more fun.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gaspernemec:
You can flash via CWM 4
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] samiulislam16:
thnkx for quick reply:D

when i 1st read ur guide i lol'ed and was a bit confused, but as u said get urself educated and come back later that was very inspiring for me so i did that and found out cm7 was for froyo bootloader so i ignored it and tried other custom roms.............but now as gb is supported by cm7 i will give it a try........also i saw cm7 has theme manager like miui, so it must be great:D

i had a blast reading ur guide mate, do u have anymore other guides, give link;)

Have you tried re-boot? I had sd card not available in #104, did a re-boot and it shows again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I'm glad it worked well for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doggystyleid:
first, sorry if i mentioned long bug again.. hadn't used cm7 since #50.

is the 2g/3g bug already fixed? i search first page and no update to this bug. I'm heavy user of tasker and need to know if this bug already solved.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6773

If i'm not wrong, this issue already commited in mid july? is this already merged from git to latest nightly? (#104)

and now i'm in GB rom (dxjvb) with speedmod kernel. should i change to talon kernel before flashing cm7 again?

thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The 2G/3G toggle is not fixed as of yet. It works fine from settings, just no toggling. As for that unmerged commit, the last time we asked Codeworkx what was up with that he bit the head off a kitten and said that when it was approved, it would go into the build and not before, so shut up about it.

I still have what was left of the cat if you want to see it.

Regarding the kernel, as long as you have CWM recovery you will be fine.

This one:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gaspernemec:
Happened to me as well. Go trough some battery cycles. Fill battery to full and than wait til phone shuts down because of low battery. Some cycles should fix this, it did at least for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JJustin:
My phone has the android OS bug every once in a while. I can think of a few things that trigger it. On samsung gingerbread 2.3.3, it happened all the time after playing games. On samsung 2.3.4, this bug was gone completely for me.

On nightly #104, I found that the bug was triggered by 4 things so far:

1) Phone is plugged in for alarm, i hit snooze, I unplug the phone, stop the alarm. Battery drains fast after this. (this does not happen if i turn off the alarm while the phone is still plugged in.

2) In no reception/3g, accidentally clicking an ad in words with friends. Battery continued to drain really fast even after getting reception again.

3) Samurai II game. After playing it, looking at spare parts, the sensor usage skyrockets and drains battery even when the game is off (i'm not too sure what sensor it is using)

4) Ultimate spiderman game. After playing it, and closing the game, spare parts shows that the phone is unable to sleep, thus, draining batter (suspend process eats up cpu?).

When everything is working well, battery life on #104 is excellent, comparable to samsung 2.3.4, when the Android OS use starts climbing because of either the suspend or sensor usage, I lose maybe 6% / hour doing nothing (e.g. letting the phone sit overnight).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ceno808:
Thanks, will try this.

Btw, this looks like this:

I think the cell standby by to much battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gaspernemec:
Well as about cell standby, i am getting quite high numbers if i leave phone and dont use it for anything special for longer period of time (like classes and things like that), in this case my mobile standby can go quite high (even above screen) so i dont think you have to worry about it (allthough i gotta feeling mobile standby usage is kinda connected with signal strength, but i might be totally wrong here), just do some battery cycles and you will find it much better, no more sudden drains and refillings...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
Cell stand-by power consumption might related to the following:

1. The modem you're using and its matching to your carrier's network - Try experimenting with different kind of modems to find the one that suits you

2. Signal strength in your area - Can't be controlled of course

3. 3G/2G/Data off - Consumption decreases accordingly

4. Using Wifi - When your Wifi is on and connected (Always On) cell standby decreases as the data goes through your Wifi

5. Phone usage - When not using your phone much cell standby will appear higher than usual as there is less screen usage which is the number one battery drainer. Same goes for Android System/Android OS processes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
If there are only a few things running, the numbers are very high because the total amount is always 100%.

sum of all list items = 100%

if there are only 2 service running, for example:

android os

android system

then it could be

android os 80%

android system 20%

or maybe

android os 50%

android system 50%

this statistic is probably not the best to determine if something is going wrong or not.

So the Android OS bug is maybe very often just the lack of knowledge. ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rizlo:
Hello everybody, I hope this is not a stupid question but I read the thread regularly and I tried searching it to no avail.

Since I flashed #104 my home button doesn't work anymore. I know it's not a hardware fault because it still brings the phone up from screen off, but that's it. Tried stock and other kernels, I'm stuck.

Any ideas?

Thank you :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] {Angel}:
Just came back to CM with #104, Is there a way to make the camera app save pictures and video taken to the external sd card?

Is the alarm app a big battery drainer?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jscurtu:
For the pictures, look in cyanogen settings.. you be suprised about what you will find there..

The alarm, never had a issue.. but, maybe your phone don't like waking you up and gets all cranky and starts draing.. Since you have cm installed, did it drain on you? Or are you affraid to use it? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
There is a setting added in the cm7 Applications settings which allows you to use your external card as your main SD card. This means that everything which normally saves or installs on the internal card, such as new apps and photos, are saved on the external card AS IF it were the internal one.

This does on one level solve the problem of camera storage but it is an all or nothing proposal, so use with care. You can't opt just for the camera app to use the external card for example, it is everything. Also once you change the setting you need to reboot for the change to be applied.

One notable exception to the change is cwm recovery. Since cm7 is not running when you are in recovery it still looks on your external SD card for zip and recovery files, just like always.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
Try flashing Samsung ROM, use bluetooth on that and flash back. Also try changing your modem.

Hi

I have created a 1gb app partition my App manager reflects this and my apps are being installed here, except if I attempt to download Angry Birds I am told there is not enough storage space.

I have made a backup of my orignal Angry Birds (titanium backp) and this app restores fine (onto the partition) however If i attempt to update the app I get the same error message about lack of space

Any ideas? cheers....

2. 11hours without WiFi drained 46%

More Modems are to come.

Maybe someone has a good idea which Modem would be best for me. I'm in Germany and using Vodafone.

I have looked there... a lot.. There is a setting there I thought was the one but even after setting it, the camera was still saving to the internal card.

Yes, it´s drained on me. Two nights in a row.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
You have to reboot after changing the storage setting...

EDIT:

Oh and after that the external SD will show up as sdcard and the internal as emmc...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sencafe:
I experienced a similar issue before coming to CM7. While on a Samsung rom I updated to the latest android market, and got the "not enough space" message for certain apps, including Angry Birds. Rolling back to the older market, the one that doesn't look like a Windows Mobile theme, fixed the issue for me. Hope this helps you.

In other words, I don't think it's a CM7 issue.

On another note, I've been reading these forums and using the information provided for a while now. After finally trying CM7, I had to finally make 10 posts elsewhere just so that I can come here and thank the Cyanogenmod team. What you all do is way beyond me and your efforts have made my experience with the Galaxy S and Android all the more enjoyable.

So greetings from Australia and Thank You all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madd0g:
No, that's the Market issue, seems like old one doesn't save on /cache. I've been waiting for the fix since initial 2.3.6 Market version release, but it's the same on latest 3.1.3. Don't know what they're smoking back there in Googleplex.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alinescoo:
So after switching back to a stock Samsung + another one, custom ROM+ MIUI...I JUST can't stand stock anymore... no where near CM7 with all the tweaks and bells it may have. So the main problem in my care remains, high battery drain after playing games. The only thing I managed to do is restart and most of the times the drain just goes away. As someone mentioned a few pages ago, it may be a sensor active problem. Any way to reset sensors if not used ? I just want my phone to sleep peacefully...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guijarrelson:
Uhm, I tested CM7, and I see some hints that I want to put in the table.

The first, I see a lot of battery consumption by ADW Launcher. It was active a lot of time in the CPU and eats an higher percentage. It could be a problem in the launcher? I disable all animations.

I see another problem in the WiFi. There is lower signal like JVR stock. Could be migrated JVK to JVR? (Only a suggestion ;) )

I can't registry the CM7 to get update notifications with ROM Manager Premium License installed (I've got it). Is there any problem with this?

I can't see any option to change system font. Is the option available in any sub menu?

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lohho:
I use go launcher ex and it works flawless.

I can't second that. My WiFi is better then with stock JVR, more stable and higher range.

Same problem here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I also get an error when trying to register for automatic updates, but I do get the notifications (once a day). So I would suggest waiting to see whether you get one (although the length of the wait may be a bit long if you already have nightly 104)....

Font can't be changed in CM7 settings, I used fontchanger (from market) to do that job.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guijarrelson:
I say that, JVR shows more stable and better signal than JVK. CM7 comes with JVK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rizlo:
Thank you for your reply, but no, I haven't used Titanium for system stuff, just for 3 or 4 3rd party apps.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guijarrelson:
Before change to CM7, I used that launcher, and I like more than ADW, eats minus battery and I think is more clear than ADW. I restore it from TB.

wifi has nothing to do with modem. wifi is available due to a kernel module, not the modem.

and obviously, if with wifi on, mobile standby is lower, it's because wifi is consuming more power, thus making mobile standby appear at a lower percentage..

edit: sorry ceno808 i re-read your post , no wifi but on data call right? data calls consume more power than wifi. that's probably what's making your phone draining battery faster.
