[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
If this is happening on ALL attempted downloads from the market, then it is a known issue that sometimes occurs with the new market. The only sure fire way I know to solve it is to downgrade to the old market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Just flash the nightly... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
Not on all downloads, but most. Any app that's more than ~ 2MB doesn't seem to download. And am I the only one with the issue? Really don't want to downgrade Market...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TerraBuzz:
It was also happened to me. But I installed previous gapps and the FC problem resolved.

I think using old Market will also fix the issues too...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
Have a look in /cache partition,if you see apk's stucked there delete them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] StNickZA:
Flashing a new radio (JVR) didn't help me with my battery problems. Not sure what else I can try, but its obviously something specific to my system since other people here are reporting great battery with the stock install.

I am losing about 10% an hour with minimal use. Android reports that Display is using the Lion's share of the battery (as is usually the case), so I cannot see anything out of the ordinary there.

I leave GPS on at all times and have disabled wireless, simply because this is how I have done things for the past year on Samsung's ROMs and I am trying to compare. Ever since JVP, Samsung ROMs have had fantastic battery (as is my experience anyway), but I am really struggling with CM7 (currently on 123).

Lol, to be honest, with the awesome performance, I'm actually prepared to accept 10% an hour drain, but really hoping for some tips / tricks I can try.

I have installed Watchdog Lite which isn't showing any "apps misbehaving".

Any chance this new kernel that's coming soon will fix things? Does a factory reset ever help in cases like this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
Which bootloader are you loading? If you flashed a Froyo ROM before coming to CM7, that is no longer needed and your battery life will suffer. Flash a gingerbread bootloader if that is the case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scottietohottie:
This happened ages ago when the new market came out. I remember that people found that they had to clear some crap out of the system partition.

you can try the following. Delete or move some fonts, music (from system/media), etc.. Basically get the size down. Check the sdcard system size. I remember that on some roms it's 500mb plus. On cyanogenmod it's 200mb.

I seem to rememberer the force close is because the market caches downloads in system. Low space = limited sized downloads.

Could all be wrong but worth a try ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] StNickZA:
I came from a custom JVR ROM (Gingerbread).

Do you think its worth trying to flash a stock Gingerbread ROM with ODIN and then re-flash the newest nightly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
You could try. It shouldn't change anything but it does allow you to start from a clean slate in case anything went wrong in your last flash. (And don't restore system data.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
I'd have a look in /cache before doing anything else:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
But don't our phones have dedicated 2GB app storage memory? What does it have anything to do with /system or /cache ? Either way, I'll have a look... And what could I possibly delete from there??

Problems

Hi Guys, anyone other than me that experience problems with RomManager reboot into recovery? It just shows a 1/3 filled progress bar then reboots the phone into normal operation. Had the problem since nightly #100 something.

*EDIT*

The problem does not occur when choosing "Reboot, Recovery" at the power menu
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
And Nightly 124 has gone LIVE, True Believers.

Somebody give the new stock kernel a whirl and let us know if anything explodes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
@Prasad007:market apps make their way through /cache,that's why we can't download larger apps than 30mb on samsung based roms.

Still on samsung base,I think the only things to be left in there is a recovery and a lost+found folder...but every time I'm on cm7 this partition have,I guess,a strange behavior:apk of first download from market after flashing gapps get stucked here,and I can see a second dalvik-cache folder in it.:confused:(this will be my question if any can explain it to me:))
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bhonka:
Getting random FC's...hmmm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] junkyhlm:
Whats new in the kernel? Just minor bugfixes? I've been kinda off this flashing bit for a while since they dont have internet on the trans siberian rairoad :D

I don't remember if anyone already suggested this, but are you logged in to Latitude? If so, try to log out for a while and check the battery life then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] laza80:
Has anybody noticed HD recording improvement using latest nightly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] StNickZA:
Yeah I am on Latitude... I can give it a shot and see if that makes a difference, but I hope that isn't the culprit since I've always had it turned on with other ROMs.

Strange, flashed #124 with ROM manager but about phone still shows 09192011, even re-flashed... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheAbalone:
HD recording seems to be fixed at first try (n124, stock kernel) but it sometimes worked on older nightlies too. so it has to be tested furthermore
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
This is serious ****, flashed using 3 fingers and date is 09202011, as it should, meaning ROM manager just pretends it is working... :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guijarrelson:
I flashed the CWM manually, and download zip from my PC. Reboot into recovery from Rom Manager and then, installed. No 3 buttons combo used. This procedure works fine to me.

CWM is up to date in the version 3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
I also downloaded zip with PC, always do, faster and serves as backup...

But then flashed with ROM Manager as usual, this time didnt work, twice, reboot into recovery also doenst work... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kvaju:
Yes, me too tried to flash kangs rom from rom manager, but did do something, rebooted the phone, booted too something like recovery, but didnt flash it right.

So i do it manually trough cwm
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ermy sti:
I have noticed a little improvement in the performance of GPS (the same problem of disconnection during the drive) Did you notice this? And is normal this improvement without changing the modem?

P.s. this nightly has also changed the kernel?

Thanks ;)

Just tried download/backup/flash through Rom Manager and it seems to be ok here, showing 09202011
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
In that case, I'll try freeing up /cache and get back...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
I hoped someone could tell us (me;)) more about this but if,as for me,you see apk in it you can delete them with no hesitation.You'll re-gain place in this folder with no side effects and market downloads should be back according to the place left in this /cache.

I tried using adw but cant find led notification on the activity menu.

I'm using stock kernel. Is that the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montymintypie:
Well, after suffering numerous reboots due to my faulty bluetooth, I finally bit the bullet and Odin flashed a stock ROM. My goodness, I forgot how bad it was! ;) I only stayed long enough to check that bluetooth was indeed fixed, then back to 124 it was!!

My bluetooth now works fine, 124 is brilliant, and I'm happier than ever ^_^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
the changes, which were made to fix the issue are only memory management related. so if you are using a script like system tweak by zach, the changes in #124 are overwritten.

this also means, if you are setting similar values in a script, hd recording is working on every nightly as it is now in 124.

maybe, sometimes you were using the right values and sometimes you were not, because of not using the script anymore

these lines have been added or changed:

write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs 2000

write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs 1000

write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio 90

Hello, i am new to Custom Roms, and i never had one, so i would like to try something. I read about this one, and it seems good. Now I have Galaxy S, rooted and i have 2.3.4 JVP flashed with odin.

So what do you recommend me ?? Will i get more stability and speed? And can i save my app and data on my phone ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Certainly you will get more Stability and Speed using CM7...and use Titanium Backup to backup and restore your apps.

Use this guide, and good luck...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101534
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
You might also want to check out the wiki in rschenks sig. There are some drawbacks for this mighty ROM as well, like no tvout, hd recording still not 100% and some other small items I don't recall now.

However, cm7 rocks!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] goranbm:
Is there any major error that can ocur ?? So that i can lost my phone ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
No, you won't flash bootloaders you see.

taptalked u see
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The only real way to brick an SGS is by screwing the bootloader, and installing CM7 doesn't touch the bootloader.

Therefore unless you drop your phone in a swimming pool or attempt to flash CM7 while standing near an active volcano, you should be fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J_Force:
Are the backlightnotifications back in this new nightly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
NO, and never will be.

If you need BLN check the custom kernels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guijarrelson:
I have a doubt with gapps:

I have flashed the universal 20110613, but it's most recent 20110828. Is there any app different between those packs? No version, I refer what's best gapps version pack.

I was wondering whether the people having problems with ROM manager switched internal/external SD in the CyanogenMod settings? I did have problems with ROM manager after switching the two storage locations..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
Never say never, wait a couple of days more. At least, that is what I understood from pawitp.

taptalked u see (typopopopop)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
So do I. Cwm uses the internal no matter what, rommanager uses external if you swap them in cm settings so your files will be on the external while cwm looks for them on the internal.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Then the old order truly has changed, since Atinm has said many times he never intended to put BLN support back into CM7. Sounds like it is Patitp's show completely now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Didnt touch that, never... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
And we praise him for that!! What they actually said was that it wouldn't come neck unless they found a way to do it without stability issues, apparently someone found the way to go (not pawitp himself if I recall it correctly).

Edit: I didn't recall it correct, it was Pawitp (though I think his full name is much cooler)

LED Notification != BLN
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Spirit02:
There were reports of SoD with the new LED notification code in pawprint 105.

Pawitp has since tweaked the LED code again. No idea when we will see this updated version in any build.

Might be a little while yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
I personally wouldn't mind installing another Kang from him. Perhaps he should start his own thread for Kangs only? Since he is the lead (only?) developer for our CM7@SGS why not short-cut buildbot?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aoprea:
seems like we remain behind in the counting ... android has reached to GWK74 2.3.7
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Well, if Nightlies were supposed to be experimental builds of RC1, then I guess Pawprints will be experimental builds of Nightlies for those who wish them.

If Pawitp is going to be producing Kangs regularly and releasing them then yes it would make sense to create a separate thread for them, just to keep track of bug reports and feature issues.

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

The Nexus S is the only device that has 2.3.7 afaik, and CM7 is still based on 2.3.5.

From what I heard the only difference in 2.3.7 was more Google Wallet interaction, so I doubt we are missing much as the service isn't really available yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Sorry, mixed up two things :/ Disregard.

On the other hand I would love to see the kernel to be updated to the latest level as it brings (according to Zach) several improvements.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
I can't do that. But what I can do is say this:

You can use RM free edition if you like that way, download the latest nightly here :http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysmtd.

Don't forget to flash gapps as well, these I prefer, old market. Never problems:http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

So, boot to recovery (cwm), flash nightly, flash gapps, reboot, done.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Quite right...so my original answer stands. No BLN in the foreseeable future.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

If you intend to just flash Nightlies via Recovery, then the free ROM Manager will work fine.

No worries, lots of people confuse LED Notifications (usually controlled through the ROM's Settings menu) and BLN (controlled via a separate App in BLN enabled ROMs).

I have never used either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:

Hi everyone,

I'd just like to add that, having now pawtip developing again CM7 on SGS, I've decided to get back to CM7 (from Darky). I'v already gone back and forth several times. If it wasn't for a few bugs that I had before with CM7 (like no sound very frequently in calls), I'd rather stay with CM7, provided that someone still cares and develops it.

Now, I'd just like to thank pawtip for his work, rschenk for all the contribution (especially the wiki and the install guide which I used this time to get back from Darky to CM7 without any problems whatsoever). To everyone else, I'll try to help with my feedback in coming days and weeks. I hope that I can stay with CM7 from now on.

Cheers.

But what is the difference with bln? Which one makes the soft keys lid up when a notification is received?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
The author of the app mistakenly used the test key (used for signing system files) for signing the apk, which CM bans for security reason. (Applications signed using the test key can do a lot of things normal apps can't.)

Slightly OT perhaps, but it is also new-ish, JVS modem is the best I ever used, by far. No issues with 3G/H switching, great signal and fast GPS locks, therefore good battery... Those of you who like JVQ and JVR like I did, might like to try it. Take a look at all the green in your battery stats signal graph 24 hours later.

Hey! First time CM7 user. Just switched from Darky's to see what it's like - and I like it. It's extremely fast. I hate live wallpapers though, and I've been trying to switch to a static wallpaper... but it looks like it's bugged and not possible. Every app I've used in an attempt to change the wallpaper to static has failed. I have managed to switch the type of live wallpaper though, to a different live wallpaper, lol.

Any solutions? Is this a known bug?

Also - is it possible to get a battery percentage in the notification bar?

I'm on nightly #124, Fugumod Kernel - Version 1599.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Spirit02:
What launcher are you using? Are you going into its options, and looking for a wallpaper setting? With Go Launcher, hit menu, and then wallpaper... and it brings up a whole list of options.

Never heard of anything like it.

Battery % - settings, cm settings, interface, status bar tweaks -> Battery percentage.

Asking for help in this thread when you're using a custom kernel is likely to get you bashed... something to consider for next time ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jose.celestino:
No. Long press on the desktop and change it.

Yes. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/CyanogenMod_Settings search for battery percentage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
Battery percentace under cm settings.

Wallpaper is not a known problem and most likely a user problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zvenn:
Thanks for the replies. The percentage on the notification bar worked great. :)

I'll check if it's a Launcher problem, if not I guess it has to do with Fugumod? Every time I try to switch to a static wallpaper it does nothing basically. I've tried everything. :(

Edit: Reboot did the trick apparently, static wallpaper obtained! :D Win.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Remember that you have Theme Chooser now, so you can do a lot more than just change wallpapers. You can change the whole look and feel of your phone on the fly.

Find the Theme Chooser app in your app drawer and download themes from the market, many of which include wallpaper options. Just do a search for Theme Chooser or Cm7 themes in the market.

My personal favorite is Synergy, so check that one out.
