hey guys ,

just another quick one from me - how do we change fonts on a CM7 rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
At this time you can't. I have the request for using different fonts on my list of things to ask the devs for when we hit the "OK, everything is about done with, we go to RC1 tomorrow...anyone have any last bells and whistles they want added in?" stage.

You may be able to change fonts by making a theme in UOT that uses an alternate font and installing it via Theme Chooser, but I have never done it.

Hi all

That is the first time i flashed cyangenmod7 on my sgs. I took the easy way from here:http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/

So what i did:

1. I flashed first the froyo package with odin, pit 512 and repartition, as per the guide

2. then after first reboot i installed rom manager, but root was not available.

3. so went to the recovery and installed su+busybox, rebooted and rommanager was ok. but that was not in the guide

4. tried to install then cyanogenmod7, rommanager rebooted into recovery an i

5. i then manually flashed the downloaded cynogenmod7 in recovery and now im on cyanogenmod

6. tried to install gapps with rom manager. after dowloading it reboots in recovery and only shows me the flashin triangle without doing anything

7. flashed also gapps manually in the recovery.

So, few steps did not work as per the guide, but am I on the safe side?

Thank to the everyone

okay.. i'm hoping someone answers this cos a non-samsung-all-android ROM is starting to sound freaking sweet.

I've googled and searched this thread and didn't come up with an answer..

The mindmap in the first thread is awesome. Very easy to follow..digg the humour etc..

BUT.. it says download a kernel-INITIAL file and a update-INITIAL file. Yet the download link (http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/) doesn't have a kernel-INITIAL file!

According to the mindmap, flashing this kernel-INITIAL file will start a process that automatically flashes the update-INITIAL file, so i dont wanna assume its no longer part of the process - one thing i've learnt is to FOLLOW DIRECTION TO THE LETTER.

Help?

A question for the devs (or anyone else who knows):

I see lots of commit messages which seems related to the mainline merge. As far as I understand things, once all the bits and bytes are in place, CM7 for the SGS will basically just become CM7 and we can get true nightlies, that is for entire CM7, not just drivers and whatever is needed to make our hardware run.

And that is awesome.

However, once merged, what branch will it be merged with? CM 7.0.3? CM 7.1? And what's the difference between those as far as end-users are concerned?

Im on the latest nightly...everything is working smooth with no hiccups. However, I have been reading this thread and the main development thread, some users are posting that they get the same battery life compared to stock Samsung rom. That boggles my mind...last night I unplugged the phone fully charged. After I woke up this morning (7+ hours), battery was at 86% (this with 3g off, wifi off, etc....). I am not complaining, but just wanna see what others are getting (especially the ones who say they get great battery life) as a basis of comparison...thank you....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
The battery-life I am getting is starting to get close to the Samsung firmware's, except I've disabled 3G entirely.

But to be fair I'm doing auto-sync/push for 5 accounts, I also have SIP dialing enabled, something I didn't have on Samsung's GB-firmware (since it was disabled/removed). I've also enabled incoming SIP calls and basically I'm pushing this as far as you would want to push a smartphone.

That battery life is a tad worse is not something I'm surprised about, especially given how the CM-crew has no support from Samsung with regard to figuring out their interfaces.

So yeah. I can't make it trough a full day (even on 2G) without a recharge or two, but with my usage I couldn't do that on Samsung's firmware with 3G either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketwn:
thanks joe for your insight. Was getting confused when people said they were getting similar battery life with stock samsung (ie. I never got 14% battery drain during the night when i was asleep on stock, it was more like 1-2%). I believe all the added bonuses on cyanogenmod far outweigh the slightly higher drain.

cheers...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I am in much the same position J is...I never notice much idle drain since at night my phone is always charging, and while I am at my desk it is connected to a charger or my pc. If I go for fairly minimal use I can get through a day, squeaking by at 5% by the time I go to bed...that is more or less what I got with JVJ from Doc's Kitchen. It is certainly in my tolerance range.

Of course, I also carry a spare battery and an AA Charger with me in my gearbag...just in case.

Wifi adhoc?

Hello everybody! Question: Is there a way to connect to a wifi adhoc net?

Does it involve a custom kernel or module or app or just let time to the devs to do the bug-ironizing-mainline-stuff-preparing before we may ask nicely the devs for new features?...

Thanks in advance for the answer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasper_h:
With regard to battery use, my experience is that under use (say screen on), the drain is similar to Samsung stock, but when idle it is somewhat higher: about 2%/hour on 2G/wifi and around 5%/hour on 3G (3 push mail accounts, google calendar & contacts sync, 4 twitter lists and facebook). Especially the 3G drain is higher than stock.

So, a light user will probably see increased drain, because his/her phone is mostly idle (especially when using 3G), but if your battery use is mainly due to using the phone, differences are small.

It really should be a resolved issue, but it may be the infamous RIL-polling issue (radio interface layer). Try locking and unlocking the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Did you try locking/unlocking the phone? It may be the RIL issue.

If you still have no signal, I think it is because you sort of had to turn it on HSPDA for a reason. Instructions are funny that way, they usually have a purpose. I know that when I tried switching to 2G only I had all kinds of signal troubles.

I would guess that you need to go back to Froyo, enable HSPDA, then flash CM7 again, but get a second opinion on that one. Codeworkx? Atinm?

My guess is that either the animation can't be speeded up for whatever reason and therefore crashes, or on "fast animations" the phone is on to the next task/animation before the CRT animation even gets to fire, so it is effectively skipped.

Question/suggestion to the developers or anyone else who knows:

When installing INITIAL trough ROM manager, I'm assuming it does all the things we had to do manually before in an automated fashion. Including formatting /system, /data, /datadata etc. Basically a full wipe.

When CM7 is exposed to new users trough ROM manager, is this information in any way presented to them? Or does it just silently wipe your device? I can see people getting upset if they find their device cleaned. Especially if they weren't warned that this is part of the process.

I mean, earlier, we had to read a ton of **** and manually wipe those partitions so it was pretty obvious what was going to happen, but I'm guessing it wont be as obvious with an automated ROM manager install and that can lead to some unnecessary backlash against CM as a whole.

I've already seen a comment which suggests so on reddit.

Just my 2 norwegian øre.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
You are absolutely right...I could easily see the wipe causing a lot of trouble as people flash CM7 without realizing what it is...also the fact that they will suddenly not be able to use many of the Samsung apps they are used to. The downside of the ROM Manager install is that it really doesn't require a user to know ANYTHING before flashing it. The CyanogenMod name is well known enough that lots of users may just flash it on sight.

Perhaps a notice explaining all this could go up in ROM Manager when you select TeamHacksung, similar to the change log that goes up when you open an updated program for the first time?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jappse:
Oh, yes. I have been using Doc's rom for as long as I can remember and never had such problem. I'm using the built in viewer in Cyanogenmod and those included in Miui, when I tried there aswell. I start the video and sometimes I see the playback controls.

But then It turns black and I can only press menu and the back button but nothing happens. After a while I get FC's. And sometimes the screen just go black without seeing anything and later FC.

I don't know what happens with other devices, but I imagine it is very similar when installing CM7 on them. ROMManager does encourage you to make a backup - but we do have the problem that we cannot just flash a Samsung ROM back onto the device without going thru some hard work. We haven't thought about how to go back cleanly - but will give it some thought today. Might not lead to anything though.
