Your understanding of the term "official" in this case is extremely flawed. You're taking it to mean "Ready to go, relatively bug-free, ready for release from the manufacturer/carrier".

What it actually means in this case is that it meets enough of the requirements of CyanogenMod to be included in the distribution system "officially".

Additionally: Many of the problems you're seeing are not very common with most of the people in the thread. Launcher is stable for me, data is fine for most, calls have no issues for most, and settings stay as they should.

As stated elsewhere, try and zone in on specific issues and see if there are solutions. Reflashing also tends to help with a lot of quirks that people see in situations where one or only a few people are seeing a particular issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
When I first installed this ROM, i also immediately flashed the Glitch kernel.... it seems to be eating my battery VERY quickly.

I'd like to give the stock kernel that cam packaged with CM7 a try.... does that mean I need to flash the entire ROM again? Or is the kerenel available to flash on it's own?

Thanks guys
[Fascinate Android Development] kallell:
start from scratch yes, just ODIN in stock and make sure re-partition is checked, from that point you wont have to do each of those after you re partition it. Reboot fully. Go back in to CWM, delete the dalvik and cache again before you flash in CM7 rom. Reboot fully again. Once rebooted, from the power menu, boot to recovery. Once in there, flash glitches kernel (found in this fas dev section) and reboot. Let me know if you have any issues, pm me if you need.

To your question about glitch's kernel. Jt's is fine, but glitches is just a bit more optimized. It's fast and lets you customize it greatly, along with some other various tweaks and optimizations -- plus you can use voodoo :D
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
I agree.... I love the customizations you can make with Glitch, and I love its speed (getting 3000+ on Quadrant). However, the battery drains so darn fast for me...

maybe I am not UV'ing correctly?

How is your battery life?
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
How much r u OC'd
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
I was at 1.5 initially.... but since, I have dropped to 1.3 and 1.2.... still seems to be a battery drainer though
[Fascinate Android Development] Merman1983:
Loving this btw - a several months ago I thought we'd be lucky to ever see Froyo now our little Fascinates have grown up.

I see several mentions of the atlas_v2.2.pit file - I see how it is flashed in Odin (with the repartition box checked) and I actually have the file now. It is mentioned in the 2nd post of the thread and sporadically throughout, but I am still a bit confused.

Is this something everyone who installs CM7 should do (have done)? I see it's necessary when moving from CM7/MIUI back to another ROM. Just hoping to get clarification if its only used to revert back to BML ROMs.

I flashed without doing this and things are running just fine for the most part so I would assume it is not a step I missed.

Running CM7 + Glitch ML kernel + EC09 radio

Also, I did restore several apps with app data (only) via Titanium. Is this not recommended (as it was with ComRom)? Thanks

I have found my problem with mms not working if you are using handcent you can't use the option to disable sms & mms it worked before the latest build but just use the sms option
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
The pit file is essential when you odin back to stock, whatever the reason is that you want to go back or just start with a fresh clean phone. Flashing to CM7 does not require going back to stock first but it can be a very good step to take to avoid future problems. If you start seeing issues you probably want to odin.
[Fascinate Android Development] spinnum:
Still having issues playing videos, not videos I have recorded but TV shows, movies, etc. Divx files won't play and mkv plays only video with no sound. Haven't tried any other formats yet. I tried Rockplayer and ArcMedia but they are having trouble playing anything smoothly. I'm using the dockfixed kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] Merman1983:
I see now - before the latest builds it was recommended to go back to DL09 and rebuild up from there which would require using the PIT file to go back and that this is no longer essential to revert back to DL09 to flash the current build. THANKS
[Fascinate Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
Sounds like you've got a wake-lock or a runaway process somewhere.

I'm running at 1.4 with -50 at all steps and I get fantastic battery so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
not sure what you mean by "wake-lock"
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
I've not had phantom ring since I flashed glitch's kernal. What say you?
[Fascinate Android Development] gkirby11:
When your phone becomes locked outside of deep sleep. There is a process or program preventing it from sleeping and locking your CPU to a certain frequency all the time, even when the screen is off.

-Edit-

Grab CPU spy from the market and see what state your phone stays in the most.
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
i have CPUspy... it says I am in Deep Sleep and 100 Mhz the majority of the time
[Fascinate Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
Your battery calibration must be way off, then (or your battery is on its way out). If you're deep sleeping like you should, then even 1.4OC shouldn't be a big drain, as it's only running at that speed while you're actively using the system.
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
i tend to wipe my bstats with a new ROM and kernel, but, being unable to charge with the phone off doesn't allow me to get to a true 100% charge...

not even sure if the bstats works with this CWM 4.0 (i tried it, but it never confirmed that bstats were wiped)
[Fascinate Android Development] xsc0rchx:
+1 on this issue. I seem to have a high battery drain as well, I will go down about 5% - 8% every hour.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
I believe it does work. I've tried it several times and since this rom keeps stats through reboot. Everytime I wiped states and booted the usage stats showed zero. You can also do it manually by deleteing the batterystats.bin from data/system.

Edit: There is also a free app in the market that will wipe it for you as well. Just search battery calibration.

[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
thanks... will give that app a try

It's called Battery Calibration. Here's the Market link:

[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
i am seeing a consistent 10 or so hours on a full charge with only moderate usage. honestly that's about all i ever got out of the stock setup as i am a fairly regular user. I would say my screen never stays off longer than an hour and that's maybe once a day....typically I am using my phone every 10-15 minutes for emails both personal gmail and exchange work email, browsing, listening to music, etc.....so if i get 10-12 hours out of a full charge I'm happy. It goes on the charger every day when i get home and so i leave in the morning with a full charge. In the evening I can burn through a charge in a few hours easily with constant hard use.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
^ That's about what I get as well and with the same type of use. I kinda think I'm addicted to this thing at times. And being that I'm never to far away from a charger. 10-12 hours out of a charge considering all I do on my phone is perfectly fine with me.

[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
yeah, i mean literally, if my phone is sitting idle its more of the exception than the rule. Hi my name is James and I am an addict :D
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Hi james.

Yeah if the phones in standby. I can get a day easy out of it. But really. Not play with the phone all day. Would have to be dead or in jail for that to happen

[Fascinate Android Development] xsc0rchx:
Ok, so I have been messing with CM7 (7/17 release) and Glitch kernel a bit this morning. I have had a lot of issues with battery drain and my CPU states have shown Deep Sleep and 100 at about the same levels. I believe this is related to issues with the Glitch kernel getting installed correctly and/or I/O scheduler.

I have wiped and reinstalled 7/17 fresh then Glitch (LL) then gapps. (previously I was just installing HL/ML ontop of CM7 without a wipe). Since I have performed this my Deep Sleep is at 98% with everything else at like 2%. I think this will help my batter states.

So here is what I suggest:

- Wipe Data/Cache and install Glitch.

- Leave default I/O scheduler

- Step down *gradually through UV

- Let phone go into Deep Sleep and review battery statistics

- Once everything looks good then mess with I/O

This is probably take a few hours / days to get everything worked out but my phone appears to run a bit better now. However I probably still need to calibrate my battery as I have flashed this thing all over the place and I think my batter is all messed up.
[Fascinate Android Development] kallell:
when you install the kernel itself, it does a dalvik / cache wipe itself...i think it clears uv and oc settings but im unsure.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
One thing I always try my best to do is make sure the battery is full when I flash something. I also don't go by the battery icon. I use a program to make sure tge battery is at 4250+ mv before I wipe stats or flash anything such a rom or kernel. The app I use is a simple one called android system info. Free on the market

The battery calibration app also has a mv meter in it so it will work as well.

is there any way we can get the samsung camera app b.c this one sucks so much
[Fascinate Android Development] vai1018:
If you want any of the stock Samsung apps, you'll have to run a Touchwiz rom, as they are dependent on the Touchwiz framework in order to function.

Search for some camera replacement apps, those should work on AOSP roms and you may find one as nice or nicer than Samsung's version.
[Fascinate Android Development] m2cool2go:
still black and white MMS

I was having some bizarre issues so I decided to ODIN stock and reflash 11.1. here's what I did:

Boot to recovery

Format SD card

Boot to Download

ODIN Stock Froyo and format PIT with atlas

Allow to boot completely

Boot to Download

ODIN ec09-modem.tar.md5

Allow to boot

ODIN CWM Recovery 4 for cm7

Boot recovery with 3 button method

Wipe USER, etc

Flash CM7

allow to boot

power button reboot recovery

Flash GAPPS

Flash nemesis2all OTB 2.6.35.13 CFS 0704 stable OC kernel

Flash Titanium (didnt work)

Boot completely

And right away I received a MMS that was black and white while the picture was sent in color. any advise?
[Fascinate Android Development] RegnierD:
Hello, kernel friends.

I/O scheduler: I feel either the CFQ or BFQ options are going to be your best bet. CFQ is completely fair and lets the headline process get the most out of the CPU. A CFS and CFQ kernel would give whichever apps needs the most processing power the most, thus putting a heavy emphasis on overall performance. CFS and BFQ would be a little weird, and, by my speculations, as the CFS would say to give the CPU to whichever apps need it at any point in time, but the BFQ would say, yes, but you all only have this much to work with, so watch it.

BFQ, however, forces the processes to share all things equally, no matter how many apps are running. Preference will be given to the foreground app, and the background processes will inevitably get a slight shaft on processing power. A BFS/BFQ kernel would give the foreground app a heavy preference and force whichevere apps are in the background to use the remainder equally.

A perfect example of why I don't like the BFQ/S kernels is say you're watching a YouTube video, and you get the Updates Available notification from the Market. You pause your video, tell the apps to update, and go back to your video. One those apps actually start installing, the phone will stutter for a moment, and it will seem like it's lagging. The System will always get the preference in a BFQ/S environment, which can make the rest of the phone feel a touch hindered when it needs to do something.

CFS/Q is always my preference, because everything gets however much of the processor it needs whenever it needs it and, IMHO, makes the phone feel slick and smooth.

And as always, SMARTASS SMARTASS SMARTASS if you are overclocking! It's so important for your battery life. Or, use a screen off profile and pray that your governor will keep the phone at lower CPU speeds.

i have had the phantom ring (with glitch kernal) the past 3 days consecutively and in a movie theatre....not fun

When is this going to nighlies for updates???
[Fascinate Android Development] Misfit:
Does everyone's mic work during calls on build 11.1? I'm trying to decide if I'm going to try to reload CM7 or stay on comrom for a little longer.

Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
My mic works fine. Its the earpiece volume while on a call that its still not quite loud enough. Hopefully that will be fixed in the next glitch kernel...
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
Good question on the nightlies, I don't really think anyone knows.
[Fascinate Android Development] vlucchetti:
Started to get a series of FC's, got back into recovery and saw the following:

E:/can't mount cache/recovery/log

E:/can't open cache/recovery/log

E:/can't mount cache/recovery/last-log

E:/can't open cache/recovery/last-log

Now when I reboot, I am frozen at the Galaxy S/Cyanogen screen.

Tried redoing process from the start (Odin recovery, wipe the 3, install cm7) and it still keeps hanging at the GS/cm screen.

Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
I got those same errors. Had to odin back with repartition checked. Then flash the cmw fixed for cm then flash cm, gapps, and glitches kernel to fix

This ROM is wigging out on me. Battery is doing bizarre things, I was at 45% then one reboot took me down to 22% and another took me up to 65% !! Yes I've wiped my battery stats. Also the computer randomly stops seeing the phone when i plug it in, right now I can't even flash the 7/18 update. Wierd

[Fascinate Android Development] exzacklyright:
Not sure what to do... Seems like whenever I use titanium backup to install missing "user apps + data" it begins to force close. I've had to wipe 3 times.
[Fascinate Android Development] kwinders:
Yeah, don't restore data, especially from a touch wiz rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] sfobrien:
You really don't want to restore apps+data, especially if you are upgrading roms. Restoring system apps and data from Froyo to Gingerbread for example will cause issues.

I only have a couple I restore data with and they are not system apps.
[Fascinate Android Development] exzacklyright:
I'm not restoring system apps. Just games and tools and stuff.
[Fascinate Android Development] nunyazz:
Restoring

missing apps with data

works fine. I've done it 100 times between comrom CM7 and MIUI. Just don't restore

system data.

If you are getting FC's you probably need to fix permissions.
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
Go into the options of tb and click on the option to restore between incompatible roms.
[Fascinate Android Development] exzacklyright:
then how come i get force closes everytime I do that and never before? :confused: tbh I don't even know what the hell is going on haha. I just re-wiped data / cache again and installed the rom. Checked the google apps at the start that I wanted. But I still have lots of random apps I had before. And I haven't even installed titanium backup yet. It's a fresh install and alot of my apps are installed?
[Fascinate Android Development] usetheschwartz:
BLN like LED works - The downside is you can't manage it, it's all or nothing in a number of apps, most notably GMail.
[Fascinate Android Development] spartan.062:

[Fascinate Android Development] nunyazz:
ahhh. found the problem...
[Fascinate Android Development] exzacklyright:
:( After you wipe and install, does it remember which apps you had installed? Or at least some of them? Because it did for me. I really wish they would include adw ex as well instead of just adw. ex has the hidden app area.
[Fascinate Android Development] jami2976:
Had the same issue after wiping everything data/cache/dalvick make sure to uncheck backup/restore data with google and that should fix the issue when your phone tries to restore the google data it messes things up hope it helps you

Edit* make sure to do this before you reactivate your phone
