How do I make it so that the camera uses the external SD card as storage? I haven't been able to find the setting that does that. (i9000M on nightly #40.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigroots:
switched from Nightly 24 to RC-1, applying the "average joe" method from sgscm7nightlies web site.

CWM -> wike dalvik, wipe cache, install RC-1, install gapps, fix permissions -> reboot -> bootloop

CWM again -> install RC-1, install gapps, fix permissions -> ok (as far as I can see for the moment)

CWM 4.0.0.5 in RC-1 shows the progress bar during backup, but it is not updated following the progress. Backup itself is OK, of course.

b.t.w is the bootloop due to the fact that CWM has been updated from 4.0.0.2 (CM 7.0.1 #24) to 4.0.0.5 (RC-1) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Sometimes the bootloop just happens...not really clear why. In almost all cases flashing the nightly a second time will fix it.

I have also found that thus far, formatting /system before flashing a nightly prevents it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
You don't, since the camera app does not allow you to edit the directory it saves in, and when you slect External SD card it doesn;t know to look in /emmc.

Some people finesse the issue by doing a mounting trick which you can search for in the Dev thread, but I just save photos to my internal SD and move them weekly to a folder in my external SD. The Gallery finds them, wherever you put them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Just unmounting /system if it is mounted (while in recovery) prevents it. Somewhere a bug crept in that mounted /system in recovery, and that was bad. It should be fixed now, and subsequent flashes will not show the problem.

On the basis of the fact that your user name is Zork, I will not mock you for this question which I suspect could have been avoided by following instructions.

However, did you have a Gingerbread ROM installed before you installed CM7, and then fail to flash Froyo bootloaders?

If you did, you may get eaten by a Gru.

If you go to /mnt/emmc do you see the contents of your external SD?

[Q]change kernel i9000t

Hello, I have CM7 RC1 over i9000t there for I use modem with 850 band. If I change kernel(I want to change to neo 10) will it overwrite the modem-meaning I won't have 850 baseband?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
No, the kernel won't touch your modem.

And if you are looking for a first class 850 band modem I can heartily recommend jv5.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanmat:
As my first official post I have to agree with rschenck.

I was on JVP, and I found that that modem had some issues responding to signal changes, like after I took the phone out of my pocket, signal wouldn't come back for a while, even if I was in a strong signal area. Switched to JV5 and it is flying on AT&T in the states.

Also, for those of you with compass issues, I thought I would share my trick. I use GPS Status. You can open the tools tab with the menu key and you should see an option for compass calibration. I calibrate after every new kernel/modem/Nightly flash, and I never have issues.

Hope I helped, and devs keep up the amazing work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aqua1ung:
Is that better than KC1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:

Just for your statistics: one SoD since installed RC-1. Had none before (~1 month with nightlies). 10s pressing the power-on button got the phone out of unconsciousness.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shnit:
Do you mean jjjv5(pelephone version) or JV5?

Just to be 100% sure,it is necessary before I install CM7 to flash a 850 band modem and enable the 850 band. After CM7 installed I flash a 850 modem, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I am using jjjv5 but I think all jv5 are the same.

And yes, if 850 is enabled before you flash cm7 it will still be after.

Dialer in CM7

Hello guys..

Is there any intentions to modify the Dialer on CM7. The only thing I miss from the samsung software is the dialer.

1- I liked the Swipe Contact to call feature.

2- Also I would love if they a search bar on the same screen as the contacts.

3- Can you edit the dial-up to add the feature or clicking a couple of numbers and the contacts with those digits would show up as a list.

Please advise. Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasper_h:
Samsung dialer will never work on CM7 (as you probably know). For a more feature-rich dialer, I would suggest trying a dialer from the market. I use Go Contacts, which I really like, but there are other options as well.

Hi,

I have been reading up on installing CM7 RC1 for my galaxy s.

But I still have a couple of questions I am not certin about.

1) Do I need to remove lagfix before hand (and will I need a lagfix on CM7 - is it not a different file system?)

2) Can I upgrade to it from any froyo version? ( I have never hade 2.3 on my phone)

3) If I perform a Nandroid backup of my current rom and the CM7 once flashed. will I be able to easily swap between them with clockwork restore? (and do I need to remove lagfix before performing Nandroid backup?)

I would realy appricaite some help with these questions

Thanks alot
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
1. I would recommend you to start from a fresh froyo install. You do not need lagfix on cm7 since the filesystem its different (yaffs).

2. The main thing is that your phone must have CWM recovery, and never had Samsung gingerbread bootloaders installed.

3. I would doubt it, but I've never tried it though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasper_h:
1. No, you don't need to remove a lagfix before installing CM7, because CM7 will completely change your filesystem/layout. CM7 works with YAFFS, using MTD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_Technology_Device) - this cannot be changed (but you also won't feel the need :)). A fresh froyo as suggested above is useless, because your phone will be completely wiped anyway.

2. Yes, you can upgrade from any froyo, as long as you have a kernel with CWM

3. No, to revert back from CM7 to a Samsung ROM, you will need to use Odin (which will again wipe your phone). You can't change from CM7 to Samsung through CWM.

2G/3G toggling on Galaxy S and "stubborn" widget

I wanted to make a new thread for this particular issue, but being a known issue and something that's "on the works" (or at least I hope so), I though it would be better to post it here.

So, about 2g/3g switching on the Galaxy S and the NotificationBar widget...

I know that 2g/3g switching only works when there's no DATA connection active. So here's what I do when I want to switch between 2g and 3g and vice versa, in the correct order:

1) I turn Airplane Mode ON through the Power Button (so the radio is completely Off and no connection is present).

2) I open the dialer and dial in the "Testing" menu code *#*#4636#*#*

3) I go into the "Phone Information" screen

4) I turn Airplane Mode OFF through the power button (so the radio can be re-initialized)

5) While the radio is turning itself on, but before it makes any kind of Network or Data connection, I select which data connection I want on the dropdown menu in the Phone Statistics screen (either WCDMA Only or GSM only, depending on what I want)

6) I wait a couple seconds and the phone automatically connects to either 3G or 2G, depending on the selection I made. When I want to go back to the earlier selection, I do it all over again.

While this works, I was wondering if there's any quicker and sure way to do it? Every other thing I tried either didn't work or made the phone FC everything under the sun while trying to restart the radio, granted it's been a while. At one point I had to delete the preference from the sqlite database using the Android SDK SQL removal thing from http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...on Model Network Owner Summary Stars Priority, which worked quite nicely and made everything work, but maybe this is related to my next issue:

I have a problem with the 2G/3G Widget on the NotificationBar. On earlier versions of CyanogenMod, I had the widget turned on (because I didn't know it didn't quite work). When I noticed it didn't work, I left it on the Widget Bar, because I imagined that it would be fixed eventually. With the updates, eventually, the "Toggle 2G/3G" on the "pick widget buttons" on interface options became Grayed Out (as in, not available, just like the Toggle Led Flashlight).In other words, I cannot Enable *OR* Disable it.

HOWEVER, since it was already ON on my previous installation, the widget is still there. But I can't disable it, because it's grayed out. From doing a little research, I'm guessing the SQL which dictates which widget is enabled on my device never got overwritten with the installation of the new nightly, but since the "show-this-widget-option" is now "disabled", I can't remove it from the Notification Area.

Any ideas on what can I do to remove it from the Notification Area, as it literally does not work?

Thanks in advance and congrats on the great work, everybody!
