Reinstall Gapps after update?

Hi! I'm new on cm7 and like it very much

My question: I've read in the Development thread of cm7, that one has to reinstall gapps after every update. Is that true? I've never done that so far and have no issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbohm:
no you don't have to reinstall them perhaps update them from time to time (if you want)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
The new gapps is only needed for GTalk video where we've hacked the lib to make it work. So you have to reinstall it everytime. But if you don't have any issues running the Google apps, then you don't care - use what works.

As far as I know I started with bootloader from jm2, eclair months ago when I first installed CM7.

Can anyone clarify me this. I have tried to enable the HSPDA in the froyo before flashing the cyanogen and the service mode wouldn't change it to ON. I have never switched it off... The icon in 2.2 is changing from 3g to H from time to time and if I do go to settings>about phone>status I see that it is in HSPDA. But after flashing cyanogen I stay constantly on 3G with no H... Is this happening with everyone or is there a problem with my phone/carrier?

Think I must be doing something really dumb.

I flashed cm7-galaxys-initial-20110410 on my Galaxy S mid April and all worked fine. I then put the nightly on and the wireless kind of stopped working.

When I turn the wireless on it shows it comes on and then scans but does not find my local wireless network. I deleted the save for my local network and tried again and still got nothing. This worked fine under cm7-galaxys-initial-20110410.

Can some one tell me what I have missed with this?

Make sure you use the nightly that has "-lightsensor" in the file name.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Can you install the ZDevice-test app from Market and tell us what light levels you see from the light sensor under different light conditions? Try indoors, indoors under a lamp, outdoors in shade and outdoors in full light. You should see many values between 6 and 5000 if you are running the fixed code and only 6 and 5000 indoors if you aren't.

i will try right now
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szighy:
ok...here it is...its strange...indoors i had 160 lux...(10 lux if i put my fingers on the senzor) after that i put the phone under a lamp...and nothing happened (on a samsung rom it was working) so i thougt its f...ed up...but after this i went outside, and it went to 1240 lux...hm...so the senzor is working but it doesnt react to a lamp...funny...:-P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Depending on the kind of lamp, it can vary what lux it emits - we have set ranges that the light sensor gives, so there is that as well. Regardless, you are using the latest lightsensor - you should be able to go into CyanogenMod Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight > Use Custom, and edit the levels and how bright you want it yourself. Also, you have to check Automatic light decrease.

Hey guys!

First of all, just wanted to say thanks to the awesome devs who brought us this awesome rom for our phones!!! I haven't had the slightest desire to change to anything else since I made the transition to cm7.

So I've been reading the threads for quite a while before I tried it out, and I was wondering if video calls still exists. I'm using the built in dialer, and I looked around in the preferences and couldn't find anything that had to do with video calls.

I'm on the 05/06 nightly (before light sensor fix), if that's relevant in any way.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Updating

I flashed initial package and now I'm going to do my first update. Nandroid backup is needed only for safety reasons or updating to latest nightly in recovery does a wipe?

ROM Manager and Clockwork recovery

Another question, I launched ROM Manager and it tells me that I have to install ClockworkMod Recovery. But I think already have it installed since I flashed CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Odd. No such warning here. It says "Current recovery 2.5.1.2. Latest recovery 2.5.1.2".

Then again I don't really use ROM manager much. I just DL the updates and apply them manually using the recovery console.

No idea.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
I have posted in Q&A in CM and XDA forums but no avail. Please help!

I am sorry to jump in but I am currently running the latest nightly and Ineed to flash bootloaders and start with Froyo again. But my computer is not detecting my phone. I have installed the Android SDK and installed the drivers for Nexus S but of no avail. i am stuck and would appreciate your help.

The funny thing is that I can use the phone as USB device but freaking ODIN is not detecting it. My windows does not has any unrecognised device. I have installed the Nexus S drivers as well. Is it a problem with ODIN or my phone or windows itself? I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 Bit edition.

I have tried;

Uninstalled Samsung Drivers / Restarted / Reinstalled

Swapped 2 different cords

Tried every available port on my PC

Restarted, pulled PC power cable, let it rest for a few seconds and plugged it back in

Uninstalled every USB Root Hub device and restarted so Windows could reinstall all of it

Tried Heimdall as well

Tried Kies but no use.

I need to use ODIN in order to flash back

Help is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Since this is not apparent from your (otherwise) detailed post... Did you uninstall the Samsung drivers after installing the Nexus S drivers? In that case try reinstalling the Nexus S drivers since (I do believe) there is some driver overlap. I honestly believe I never had to remove the Samsung drivers to get Odin to work, so maybe you need a mixture of the drivers?

Also, try putting your phone in download mode prior to plugging it in to your computer. Usually this adds some new "devices" which your PC should see and which it will install drivers for. This should be done when neither Odin nor Kies are running.

Also... Are you sure you are using 64-bit drivers? I've had millions of issues getting Kies to recognize my phone, but never had problems getting the phone connected and recognized by Odin.

I've even had cases where only 4 of the 5 components which Windows attempts to install drivers succeeded and 1 failed, yet Odin still worked perfectly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
First of all, thanks for taking out time to reply and suggesting.

I have tried all possible combinations. Maybe I tried so many that the drivers are ****ed up. I can use the phone normally for USB storage etc. But it's just not recognized by ODIN. The weird thing is that it is recognized as "Galaxy S" by Windows (64 bit) which shouldn't be the case. I have uninstalled the Samsung Drivers and installed the Nexus S drivers (Downloaded the whole SDK for Android as well).

Nothing. There is no change. Can you imagine that not being able to use ODIN! I mean, what if the process for CM7 changes tomorrow and I do need to use ODIN to flash something. It's so unsettling feeling :(

The last thing I want to do is to flash a froyo custom ROM via recovery. But that might or might not work since for sure it will **** up the phone but maybe the phone will be detected by ODIN. But what if it doesn't? I can't even take it Samsung Center with a CWM 3 installed! Dang and dang!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Actually I think this may be the key. Go into Download mode FIRST, start Odin, then plug your phone into the USB. The drivers should install automatically.

Also try removing the external SD, if any, before going into Download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Hm. I would be unsettled as well. Really though, try putting your phone in download mode and connect to the PC. If no new drivers are installed, you should already be good.

And don't take this the wrong way, but you never know. Have you tried running Odin as Administrator (via UAC) or have you just run it as a normal program? I'm not sure if this is required but I have always done it and never had issues ;)

Hey guys, using the CyanogenMod7 for the past couple of days and I have to say IT ROCKS!! Not to mention I received an E-Mail from Google congratulating me for Buying the Nexus S :lol:

Just one question that is bothering me: Is it possible to use Swype in Romanian for this ROM? I signed up for the Swype beta program and installed the full version, but Romanian is missing from the Languages... I tried overwriting the Swype.apk with the Samsung one but I get FC's and the keyboard never loads. Some suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Not sure if this will actually help much, but Swype is more than the bare .apk-file.

It also contains files like /system/lib/libswypeCore.so (iirc). Something like that anyway. These files are also part of Swype. If you are installing on top of another installation you might have version-mismatch between the apk and the libraries it depends on.

I've hacked in some versions of Swype on other firmwares, but not on CM. It might be doable, but I'm not 100% sure. Google around, find out which files you need and try doing it again, this time on a clean setup and verify that files which shouldn't be there (like libSwypeCore) aren't there before proceeding to install.

I know swype is not a bare-apk file! So, i've downloaded a custom samsung deodexed rom (KitchenBeta) and looked for Swype.odex, Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so. I couldn't find Swype.odex neither on the deodexed rom or the phone, so I think now it's no longer needed. I found that in Data/App is Swype.apk and in data/data is a folder com.swype.(some****).android, so I went in, and found the libSwypeCore.so file. In that folder there are some preferences and data too, but no other system-swype files...

I replaced them, but no luck :( It didn't worked...
