From the quiz we're working on that you will have to pass before you can install CM7:

Q. "What is the step after 'Reboot. Welcome to CyanogenMod'?".

Q. "What zip file should be installed to enable Google Android Market, GMail, and Contacts?"

Hint, the answers are in the FAQ (the OP here).

Didn't he say he has no gapps AFTER installing the gapps package though?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polux400:
Thank you for the answer, although I don't really appreciate the sarcasm...

I never ask questions before looking on google/forums/faq during few hours.

I knew what to do after install cm and I had the good .zip, and the answers to my question are not in the faq, its why I ask here.

Anyway, after several tries, I have found the solution (for me) :

In Rom Manager you have to reflash clockwork recovery to the 3.x.x version instead of the 2.x.x version installed with cyanogenmod.

After that, the installation of google apps (zip) with the recovery will be completed, and after the reboot of the phone, you will have access to the differents steps to sync your phone with gmail, etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got_milk:
Uhh, what? Clearly you did not read everything as there is absolutely zero need to re-flash ClockworkMod in ROM Manager. If you have the correct version of Google Apps and you flashed it correctly everything will work as it should.

Also, no need to be downright rude. You do realize that himself along with the rest of the SGS team has put hard work into this and don't have time for those who clearly can't follow directions?

Any reports on better battery life using the JVO modem on the latest nightly ?

I did the following and still got maximum 15-16 hours on it

-disabled 3G , only using 2G and disabling the data connection most of the time

-using Wi-Fi with sleep policy activated

-using automatic brightness , screen-timeout to 30secs

-didn't use GPS at all during this day of testing

-no games at all, just email (gmail / yahoo mail push) , facebook app + 30-40minutes of browsing

Now , another day of testing and following a battery calibration (hope it's not a waste of time...)

What else should be done / could i do - to improve battery life ?

Thanks a lot for all the effort put into making this ROM - the best one !

Donated today for my first time (12597696GP9006324) for the ROM that saved my phone actually...(wanted to buy a Galaxy 2 ASAP , but i've changed my mind once i've installed this)

These are different modem firmware revisions with different qualities with regard to speed, reception, GPS performance etc.

If you are interested in trying a different radio, see the flashing radios/modems section in the post linked in my sig. It should link to some posts regarding different modems.

There is an excellent overview by Pele78 HERE, but it is somewhat out of date and I think the region info is largely irrelevant. If youw ant to install any of the modems he mentions, do NOT get them from the ROM Kitchen as he suggests, download them from Sourceforge if they are there.

In the end, I feel that there is very little difference between modems. Perhaps some tweaks, a few sliders pushed a bit this way or that...but performance in all respects between them is very, very similar. I figure some guy in the Samsung Radio Telephony labs just releases the same modem over and over again with different random letters just to justify his job, even though he mostly just plays Angry Birds all day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I also don't get why you developers ruin your day in these threads

- there are probably 3 code contributors in this thread opposed to probably 10 semi-noobs who cannot code but want to contribute to the project and are happy to answer.

- you are spreading negativity on here discouraging well intended people to ask questions

- you prefer to code than to answer noobs. I advice you (the development team) to request for help in the 3 q&a threads on xda and these helpers could pass tricky questions or valuable bug reports on Google code or in the developer threads

By and large if you never turned off HSPDA, you still have HSPDA. Some people turn it off in a misguided attempt to save battery life by turning their smartphone into a pocket calculator with voice functions.

Of course, I am no expert, but you are likely safe if you have never messed with HSPDA before but feel free to get more opinions.

no dude u cant in FAQ its written u need to flash a full rom

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I agree overall with what you had to say. Numbers-wise, if would say if you include the kernel developers there are more like half a dozen code contributors, and likely half a dozen more CM sages lurking or commenting. However, there is no question that as far as CM7 for SGS, codeworkx and atinm lead the way and likely shouldn't be wasting their time and blood pressure on answering the 400th "I IZ BOOTING CM7, LOOKING ON COLORED LINZ B4 BLUE ROBOT WITH SPINNY CIRCLE...SPIN SPIN SPIN. Y IZ DIS?" question.

Sure there are many of us who can handle the small stuff while they cherry pick the good/interesting/especially idiotic questions to answer and/or mock ruthlessly.

As for the spreading negativity part, I totally disagree. If someone asks a question that was already covered many times in two different threads (at least) and maybe even in a personal note sent to their mother from Linus Torvald's dog AND they are then offended when a dev opens a can of snarkass on them for not bothering to educate themselves before messing with a piece of technology worth several hundred dollars....they really need to go install the newest Darky's ROM and have a nice life. They really shouldn't be here, for their own good.

Therefore, I would call that "positive negativity" and I am all for it.

I believe there is a secret code that shuts it off, just like the code to check it...either that or you shake the phone towards Seoul and say "2G, 2G, 2G RAH" and spit three times.

Like imsid said, you wanna go back odin/heimdal is the only way, as ugly as that prospect may be...and what is worse you will feel like a failure for the rest of your life and attractive women will mock your lack of dedication to cutting edge software.

Just warning you...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
TBH the "complexity" or lack of user-friendlyness in Odin/Heimdal is severely overrated. It's a simple, straight to the point way of flashing things to your phone with a minimal amount of things which can go wrong.

Compared to using (for instance) Samsung Kies to flash firmwares it truly is a godsend. Odin may not have a candy-shaped UI, but it's simple and just works. Every single time, as opposed to other Vendor-provided tools out there *cough*

If you fear Odin, IMO you really shouldn't be flashing things at all, since Odin will likely be your only way of guaranteed repair if you mess things up past what CWM can fix for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
True, Odin is better than the horror that is Kies, but then, so are Ebola and bounced checks.

Sure I know that Odin is mature technology and the best hope if your things go really bad. However, so is open heart surgery...I am not looking forward to needing either one.

Odin just has too many fields for me, it makes me nervous...plus I hate that it uses the term PDA. Why bring Palm Pilots into the argument?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashramz:
Hi, This code is not working with the CM7(and MIUI of course), it is working with all others custom roms, go and check this thread .

It allows you to shut down the HSDPA and stay in 3G, which consumes less batteries than HSDPA, in this way you have some "high-speed" network.

I hope my answer helped.

A bug, which so far for me, a complete wipe (EZBase) and reinstall seems to have solved. Note: I did not restore any system or app-data with Titanium backup after reinstalling. I reinstalled everything from market.

The reason restoring data might be bad is (as far as I understood things) is that among other things you might restore data and settings which somehow thinks /mnt/sdcard/external_sd will be a valid location for your external SD, while it's now on /mnt/emmc.

It sounded reasonable enough to me, so I gave it a try. So far it seems to work nicely.
