[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evok87:
are there any known bugs/issues?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gergefil:
Hello,

I am thinking of switching to CM7. I've been reading lots of thing about CM7 all the day. One of the things I read a lot is, incompabilites such as FM Radio, 720p recording and TV-Out.

But as I see, a new version is out almost every week, and some of these may already been fixed. However, I couldn't find a list of what is works and what isn't.

By the latest nighty:

Does 720p recording works? Framerates, quality, sound? Compared to stock 2.3.4 firmwares? Can someone upload some videos taken in CM7 nightlies?

What about FM Radio?

Can we use TV out?

Is there any other "not-yet-working" things in this mod?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
TV out doesn't work. FM radio works with the stock Sammy headphones but is buggy. 720p video stutters unless you decrease the framerate. You can't use a widgit to toggle between 2g and 3g.

Those are the primary issues remaining.

my sgs is now seen as

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 18d1:4e22 Google Inc. Nexus S (debug)

and adb doesn't find it. have correct rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/

#Google
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18D1", MODE="0660", GROUP="adbusers"

help anyone?

edit: nvm, killed adb daemon, restarted adb with su privileges, all good :)

./extract-files.sh went smoothly, so off to building cm7

edit2: it would be nice if there was some way to just sync galaxysmtd, rather than all supported devices, since i'll just build galaxysmtd. help anyone?

edit3: to build cm7, java 1.6 is needed, i had 1.7, errors out with:

edit5: okay, i think i've found the issue here? archlinux is a rolling release distro, so we always have latest upstream synched; this is also the case with python. arch migrated python from v2 to v3, but provides python2 (2.7.2) for backwards compatibility. could this be it?

edit6: yep, symlinking python2 to python solved the issue in the end.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Currently I'm on CM7 Nightly #70 with Froyo bootloader. But I want to know how I can have Ginger-bootloader (I want to have it because there should be less battery drain).

I'd do it like this:

- Flash to Stock Ginger-fw with Odin (you don't have to explain how, I already know it ;))

- Flash a kernel with CWM

- Flash the latest Nightly through CWM

Will my external SD be recognised?

Or is this way possible too?

- Copy latest Nightly on internal SD

- Flash codeworkx's bootloader (http://codeworkx.de/download/galaxysmtd/) with Odin in PDA

- Flash latest Nightly through CWM

Will my external SD be recognised? Will all my data be lost or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
It seems that the best way for you will be to flash nightly 77 (or later) then go into download mode and flash codeworkx bootloaders file via odin.

Lots of reports indicating that way works aces. No data loss at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Thank you for the quick answer! :)

I saved my data anyway I just wanted to know it. Then I'll try it, thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Sorry for double posting...

Everything went fine and the external SD is working too. But how can I control if I'm really using the GB-bootloader?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
There is no way to be sure, no settings screen to check.

There is a legend that says that if you leave your phone out in the moonlight on Friday the thirteenth while dancing slowly around it in the nude chanting the greatest hits of Brittany Spears, the bootloader type will appear in the night sky, but I am sure that is total nonsense...

...at least it didn't work for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
So the only way to check is to look if the heavy battery drain is gone? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dfolt:
Now with GB bootloaders, battery life is hmm.. amazing in idle. No more big battery drain:P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adchevrier:
I tried to flash GB bootloaders using Heimdall but it seems I really messed up...

My phone won't boot at all, black screen, in any mod. I tried to pull out the battery for a while and no sucess either.

I don't know if the jig thing would be any useful ? If the bootladers didn't flash correctly I can't see how this will be able to save my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
This is likely very very bad.

A jig may work, depends on how badly the bootloaders were borked.

What went wrong? Did you check the MD5 Sum? Did you use the file from Codeworkx? Did you uncheck Repartition?

Did Heimdall say Success or give you any message?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adchevrier:
I used the files from Codeworkx yes, but I didn't check the md5 :/

No repartition either. Flashing seemed to have gone smoothly according to Heimdall, but when it tried to reboot after that nothing appeared on the screen.

I ordered a jig and I hope it will fix this problem. But this was my own stupid mistake, I should have checked everything. We are never too careful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
That sounds like the download was incomplete or corrupt.

I don't know if the Jig will help, I tend to doubt it, but it is the only thing to try short of a service center.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasper_h:
Did you extract bootloaders from the file by codeworx? Because they are packaged for Odin.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
If your external SD card works with nightly 45, then you currently have froyo bootloaders.

There is no other reasonable way to check which bootloaders you have.

Charger notification

Been on CM7 nightly 77 for a couple of days now and all is well.

Except I'd like the notification sound or vibration (if in silent) back when I plug the charger in.

At least once, I've plugged in the charging lead only to find a bit later that it was turned off at the wall socket. The bleep lets me know that the cable's connected properly, and that the power is on.

How can I get this back under CM7 ?

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Have you been reading ANYTHING about CM7 at all?

I assume you flashed RC1 onto a phone with Gingerbread bootloaders, if so, then your SD card will not work. If you had froyo bootloaders, then your SD card will appear in the /emmc directory, just as it does with all CM7 devices.

If you have gingerbread bootloaders, you will need to flash Nightly 77 or later in order for your SD card to appear in /emmc.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
For the kernel you can just flash the nightly again and you will get the stock kernel again.

make sure you use a cleaning script before for a "without problems flash"

And for the headset you can go to cyanogenmode settings - sound

and there make it ring on speaker even with the headset.

I have both my wife and my phones on CM7, but since update 77 they have both been randomly bootlooping. Anyone able to give me any guidance on how to get to CM7 from the following:

1) Phone is currently on the latest 2.3.5 from samfirmware.com

2) Reccomended method to root from here

3) How to get CM7 installed without booting into recovery every time?

I have tried the Ezbase method with no joy and starting from scratch but I keep getting the same problem when trying to do the GB BL where the phone reboots into recovery mode.

What is the effect of it?It sounds like a option too reduce using energy...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dfolt:
Dude, Low Power Mode its a nothing else like "Charging Phone while it is off"

Like on Samsung Roms, when your phone is off and you pull the charging cable its gonna charge battery.

It is not supported by kernel now, we need wait to fix it in kernel, then we can using Low Power Mode ;)

But its dont working yet... Its just supported but not builded in kernel ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
1: get some firmware from samfirmware gb based with bootloaders, tick repartition, select pit, flash as pda with odin

2: just flash custom kernel like snail or cfroot (most are pre-rooted) as pda no repartition with odin

3: you need to flash cm7 from cwm, or from Rom manager. Either way you need cwm.

Hi, I wonder why tv-out is unsupported ? This is missing because it's hard to implement or the devs didn't find it useful ?

(And why it was said everywhere 2 weeks ago that this functionality is broken, and now it totally disappeared from CM/Miui threads)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
Tv out was never broken as it was never supported...

the reason for that is that it is not high on the dev to do list. it may be implanted eventually...
