Ah....I took the GB BootLoader plunge....the reason ...to try the unknown ....the very reason we all are here in this forum..having ditched Sammy ROM...correct me if I'm wrong. Well...I agree that devs advised against getting into the unknownst corner of the unknown territory....it was then.....long long back.....but CM7.1 is now an evolved beast....which no ROM can beat except for a small niggle called Battery Drain.....all of us including me can live with that....period. But having tried this unknownst corner of the unknown territory...i.e. flashing a JVQ BL thru ODIN on -70 Nightly....exactly 4hrs back.....5 phone calls....14min talk time.....posting 4 comments on FB....sporadic chat on Talk and my Touchdown synching every 15mins....GoWeather updating every hour...5 pics taken thru camera..my battery ...which was @74%@ 2:30pm (ist) is at 70% at this very moment....was 71% a minute back i.e. @6:30 pm. End result...4% over the last 4 hrs against 13-16% thru Froyo BL..NOW, THE PRINCIPLES OF PRUDENCE TELLS ME NOT TO JUMP TO ANY CONCLUSIONS AROUND IT AND SAY GB BL YAY...so i will wait and observe.....on the flip side...the Phone booted up the way it should...no funny graphics...colors...no Ext.Card though...can live with it coz I don't use it...will report if any previous unknown issues raise their head.....

ps: thanks silkydude fot the JVQ BL
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sathkartha:
:D:DThis is really a jolly good way to go beyond the fear of the unknown and congratulations on your spirit----both the action itself and the words used to describe it.Sure reminds me of that adline for Mountain Dew----'dar ke aage jeet hain' which translated into English means 'there is victory beyond fear'......Have a ball!

And do share your experiences in the coming hours or days....:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
as i would also try gb bootloaders if i didnt need ext-sd, i really would never say "dont try this, its evil" but as this thread is for cm7 and only for cm7 like it is intended by the devs, i have to say:

play with your phones as much as you want, but go and play elsewhere!!!

(translated to english: please open a thread for cm7 with gb bootloaders)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kevin2516:
If only codeworkx and atinm would glance at this thread :p and say something :D

*steals their sgs2's*
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
You know, Kolja already deleted his xda account and atinm is seriously considering it, so just shut the f*** up about those bootloaders and don't write posts like: "I am having no idle drain, I get 5 weeks of battery" or "I only get 5 minutes of battery with CM how can that be?????"

This has been going on for days and page after page is filled with the same crap. People who wanna try the bootloaders: go ahead, but don't complain about anything and the rest can just live happily aver after with the normal way to use CM7!!! :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kevin2516:
The hell is your problem? I said nothing about the gb bootloaders, its ppl like you with this attitude that make the devs want to leave.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
The bootloader stuff wasn't directed at you...

I was just quoting you because you said the devs should see this thread and - well, they are not gonna do that any more!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kevin2516:
What I said about the devs was a joke. Clearly that emoticon away? Or by actually reading what I wrote, properly.

People should relax these days. Lets just leave this aside ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
OK, this is getting way too intense. So lets all breathe and think of bunnies or baby hamsters or something for a little while...ok?

Ahhhhh....fuzzy.

OK, now then....The Bootloader issue is becoming quite heated and divisive, at a time when we as a community needs to pull together, being a tad leaderless at the moment (and likely for the foreseeable future).

Therefore I again urge those users who prefer the GB bootloaders (as is their right) and wish to discuss any bugs/issues they may encounter (which is again, their right) to set up a thread similar to the custom kernel threads. That way the stock nightlies will still be the focus here, while GB Bootloader users get the support they deserve.

All good? OK, some GB Bootloader fan, take the initiative and create a thread when ready and post the link in here!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
Well, what I wrote wasn't a joke, Kolja has deleted his account and atinm stated on Google + that he's thinking about it! My post was not to offend you, I just hope all this useless talk about bootloaders and battery life will cool down a bit!

war or not, we are losing the battle if this thread is taking the dev out of xda and out of their minds :\
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No sweat, we're geeks, we have to fight about SOMETHING silly and meaningless. Not your fault.

Tell you what, someone drag an iPhone user in here and we can all go off on THEM instead of each other.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ASHURiCAN:
Appart all that, is there a way to know on witch bootloader we are? Because really I can't remember all the changes I've did on my SGS :D

Your answer would be nice.

Thx :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
It isn't the thread exactly ....the devs complaining about XDA users thing has gone on for years.

I think they just feel they have done as much as they can with the sgs and are now maintaining what exists while moving on to new challanges. Perfectly normal and fair...we just need to try and fill in the gaps.

btw, anyone knows how to unlock latest baseband on 3gs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:

Simple.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] djice000:
Is anyone getting 4g at all??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ASHURiCAN:
Haha, thx for the heavy answer :) But are you talking about the internal SDCard or something like an external SDCard that I would insert to expand the storage?

Sorry for my newbie attitude ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
External, only works with froyo bootloader...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
If you have the gingerbread bootloaders, your external SD card will not be read.

Froyo bootloaders load the external SD just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ASHURiCAN:
Thank you, this is clearer :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ASHURiCAN:
Thank you for your nice answer :) Now it's definitely clearer in my mind ^^

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] djice000:
So is anyone getting 4g signal?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] djice000:
But as a whole....do you know if 4g is working?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] djice000:
2.3.5 is supposed to include 4g connectivity for the nexus s where cyanogenmod is ported from dude

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
No idea, not a priority, not paying attention... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kaik541:
ugh, no. 2.3.5 included FIXES for WiMax connectivity on the Nexus S 4G on Sprint in the USA. It doesn't affect a single GSM phone except for the general bugfixes included in 2.3.5... you won't suddenly get a WiMax radio and connection through a software update. Add to that it's still the same radio you've been using the entire time...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coffeeboy:
New market is FC everytime I try to open it,I already clear data and reflash gapps and still the same...I'm using cm 71...

Could anybody kindly give me a link to a "what works - what doesn't" post if it exists?

if not could anybody please tell me what does not work properly yet or what has bugs etc?

Thanks!

How can you say a stupid thing like that...you can't just make a non 4g phone into on with porting.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
hmm, as the nexus s is very similar to the sgs it could be possible, but i guess tile wil show...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kaik541:
except 2.3.5 was targeted for the Nexus S 4G, not the Nexus S.

http://now.sprint.com/nexus/ <--- this device is a CDMA device with a "4G" WiMax radio. It is not the same as the GSM Nexus S (which has no "4G" radio). This ROM also isn't "ported from Nexus S." This ROM is CM, which is based on AOSP... the Nexus S is built against the AOSP tree and that's about where the similarity ends. True, we stole their kernel source for a 2.6.35.7 kernel and MTD driver, but that's AOSP source, not Nexus S specific (it just happens to work perfectly with the Nexus S).

for the last time, 2.3.5 will not suddenly turn your GSM phone into a CDMA phone with a WiMax radio.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jscurtu:
Yes, that would be so cool!

I just love Apple Fan Boys ... its not thier fault though and Apple knows that..

i think this is a known problem and is located in kernel. as the devs are pretty much out of reach you could try to contact a custom kernel dev if he can solve this...

I'm a little confused. Bell in Canada sorta makes one think that the "Vibrant" (stupid name/it is an I-9000) is 4g capable. Also, this wikipedia article suggest that there is Wimax 2.5 and 2.7. Can anyone clarify this?View attachment 669139

No such problem bud. :)

Yes...very normal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
Ok....

So...

Lets isolate this problem.

Which kernel are you using?

FuguMod here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rogerone:
Battery

I tested build 68 with modem JV6. In the Frence SFR network that modem gives a lot of noice during a call. Furthermore the GPS is very slow finding satellites. Battery life in standby with all connections and background data disabled is good (24 hours).

As soon as background data is enabled and email starts to synchronize and keep the phone awake battery life is barely 12 hours.

To avoid the noice I changed to modem JVQ and battery live is even better. After 13h standby with all connections and background data disabled 71% left. :D

Changed to build 71. Will try keeping the Wifi on all day and next day 3G. Both with background data and sync. See how this build handles usage :rolleyes:

Cheers

kobi, fugumod 214 with some UV values.

but the thing is that i never had this problem, and also did not install anything new.

dont have any script running or things like that.

#67 with fugu #203 was fine - then i upgraded to #70 on stock kernel , and fot batt drainage over night of 24% in 7 hrs with wifi and 3g on.

so i installed fugu 214 - and problem presists

Excuse me .. I saw it works quiet hours ... but I expected to notify me in any way that is on quiet hours ...

was better if I could do and:

- Disable haptic feedback

- Brightnes to 0

- Disable network connections (wifi and / or data)

this system is pretty skinny from what can do TASKER ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frauhottelmann:
Don't have that problem...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] liranvaknin:
Does "fix permissions" in the recovery does the same thing as rom manager fix?

How can I know if the recovery done the fix? Does it generate any log?

Edit:

I've installed nightly #71 after wipe data>wipe cache>wipe dalvik cache>flash nightly>flash jv6 modem>flash nightly again>flash gapps>reboot>fix permission trough rom manager

After all that I get many FC's in various apps..

What I did wrong?

This is not intended to replace tasker. It is just a simple functionality. If u want more, buy tasker...

O M F G.

This can't be true... someone tell me he was joking on this one!

You actually think you will get 4G on SGS just because the rom port comes from a device with 4G?? oh and btw this rom port comes from Nexus S 4G and not Nexus S... get your things straight ...

Back on cm after a month..i come from darky 10.2 .. what a beast is becoming this ROM! Far superior from nightlies of a month ago...no problems so far, all is smooth! my phone is resurrected!! (The only real issue is the front camera, that give me a distorted image...)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fuma:
can someone upload or link stock kernel for 70, please.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
Good question. In the US, the 4G networks are LTE networks, which are truely engineered upgrades from 3G networks and generally require their own radio to operate (as 3G radios aren't compatible with the 4G spec).

What follows is what I've been told by someone who works in the mobile telecommunications industry:

There was significant pressure from the Canadian mobile companies (Bell, Telus and Rogers) that caused the ITU-R to recognize their HSPA and such networks as "4G" technology, effectively allowing Bell and co to advertise HSPA capable phones as 4G. In reality, they are at best 3.5G - as Bell's towers (and Telus' by default, as Telus and Bell share towers) are not currently capable of true 4G (although I have been told they're software upgradable to true 4G standards). When the whole 4G naming fiasco started I tweeted something about it and Samsung Canada replied with a tongue-in-cheek response with the implied notion that yes, "4G" devices in Canada aren't actually 4G devices.

Not exactly stupid questions dude. It actually isn't so cut and dry. I posted a link from my service provider (Bell) that clearly says the galaxy s IS a 4g phone. Turns out it isn't "real" 4g but more of an enhanced 3g or 3.5g phone.

- notify quiet hours is on

- Disable haptic feedback

- Disable network connections (wifi and / or data)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Furry Atom:
Everything is correct except for the bolded line. In the United States AT&T and T-Mobile use HSPA+ and they classify their networks as 4G, Sprint classifies their WiMAX as 4G. The only carrier with an LTE network is Verizon.

The pressure on the ITU to call HSPA+ 4G didn't come from Canadian carriers. It came from the ones in the US. Canadian carriers didn't change their branding until the US carriers started to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Wow, so those carriers are destroying a standard... wired, really...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
After taking it off mains power and letting it sit quietly, it did go into deep sleep... Seems it won't deep sleep when on mains. Perhaps it was always this way, and I never noticed? Perhaps the handling of the 'Stay awake' setting in 'Settings... Application... Development' is now more extreme?

Either way, #70 is *fast*. Real nice work guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
It's been going on for a while now and it's not so much the carriers as the LTE crew doing that. They want their 3.5G tech to be called 4G, even though it isn't, so that it markets well and beats real 4G, IE WiMAX.

For a recent example of a similar effect, see "wireless" vs "mobile". This stuff happens all the time. Blame marketing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
yes it is, and yes, you can change it in the .zip package before flashing but also afterwards (needs a reboot in that case).

I change the dpi in build.prop with a flashable zip in a rommanagers "add zip" row, see sig.
