CM7 Full report

Well it was nice to see cm booting on sg3 due to the excellent work by marcellusbe and team

Kudos to them all!

I'll start with flashing

Flashed as any Rom would no harm

First boot took a bit longer but its usual

On boot i was welcomed by the Android Setup App

The Rom feels nice and is stable with normal use (No FCS no hangs ) what features are stated to be working work others dont

Now comes the apps part

Camera : upon opening a white screen comes with just the usual controls on taking a picture an android robot is captured

Video capture gives a blank black video

Video player doesnt play videos that used to play on all other roms(captured by sg3 cam)

Music player plays mp3s and plays them well

Most of the new functions in settings app work

cm settings

status bar tweaks work(all of them0

In render effect some modes like red/green/blue/amber/salmon/fuscia work

(Clicking on red gives blue and vice versa)

Calibrated N1 (all 3 modes) dont work

Overscroll glow works and so do all the lockscreen options

Live wallpapers work although some specific settings in some wallpapers gave fcs

No T9 prediction in dialer

Whn booted into recovery ( by key combo) the menu options appear and its clear its cwm 3.2 but the screen keeps flickering constantly but i was able to scroll up and down the options but couldnt select one though

Some apps i couldnt try coz no data network as of now but will get soon

Some spelling mistakes may have been done

I may have forgot some things too

My apologies for that

Thnx

How's the device functioning? Is it lagging? Or is it betta than the other ROMs performance wise?
[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
It is in alpha stage yet. It is not lagging, but it is not for daily use. You can test it! :P

cannot play mp4 video that i can play with froyo.

Titanium backup works but can't apply restore (like contacts and sms) but account restore works well...

When reboot to download mod the screen is flashing and recovery has big bug...

CM7 is great and i'm really happy to use but i think no stable yet for everyday using ;) waiting the next build :)
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Ok so this is what i get

Battery use shows some random stuff.

USB Development nortification doesn't work so there is no way to get to mass storage also other nortifications might not work either haven't tested yet Recovery also doesn't work, it doesn't load and it restarts the phone and both CWM and the system are running.

I get system forced close

Oh and the home for cwm recovery doesn't work either. Thats what i've encountered so far.

Suggetions - Task manager.

Hi marcelluse,

Can you add Task manager if possible in CM7?

Thanks

Siva
[Galaxy 3 General] FadeFx:
Hi siva, as android is designed to work without a taskmanager (it manages its tasks and memory very well by itselfs), you normally would not need one and it would never be included into cm7. However i see that sometimes it is usefull to see what is going wrong in your system abd eventually kill some rouge task, for this porpouse i recommend getting OsMonitor app from market, its a free and very usefull system-tool.

Btw, the way samsung implemented their taskmanager (because they were not able to do propper memory management in their first roms) is close to a criminal act, worst could only be a autokiller function.

[Galaxy 3 General] wazza13:
Been using the Alpha 4 Rom for the past hour and was wondering if anyone else has come across that the Battery is getting drained extremely quickly by Gallery?

Opened Gallery for literally 10 secs and then closed it (was still running in the background) about 30 mins later I checked battery usage and found that Gallery was at 36% usage when the System was only 27%.

I have since removed Gallery which has drastically improved the battery life and decided to use QuickPic Instead. QuickPic does not affect the battery life at all.

I know that the gallery has been an issue since the Froyo port as well.

Will continue to test and report any issues that I come across.

Other than that the Rom is stable, fast and a hell of alot better than Froyo... Big thumps up to the team :D

[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
first of all thank you guys for your work its awesome, now the bugs

-youtube not playing video just sound

-search key does nothing but pull up the keyboard

-music sometimes stutters, you know just stops for half a second

-some others i cant remember now

3d performance is really improved, angry birds rio works great at 800, on froyo it was sometimes bad even at 1300. btw what kernel is used here? fugu 2.4beta3?

When trying to use voice recorder or Google speech search the mic does not work.

[Galaxy 3 General] wazza13:
When trying to use any screen capturing software it fails. This may be due to the camera scripting not being in place.

When using Google talk the status notification is being cut off so you can't clearly see peoples status

When viewing battery usage under about phone. The layout at the top where it tells you how long tjd phone has been on battery for is incorrect. Looks like the grey notification box skew at the top and has weird green lines at the top.

If you need screenshots I will find a way of getting them too you.

Apps incompatibility

I installed Alpha 2 build of CM. I think i found a bug.

Some of the apps that installed perfectly well previously (quickpic, swiftkey, angrybirds etc) now seem incompatible with the device. When i try searching for them on the phone they do not appear in the search list. when i looked them up on android market, I get a message saying "This app is incompatible with your Samsung GT-I5800." Hope someone can sort this out. I paid for some of these apps, and it would be nice to have them on the final working CM on the phone

EDIT: ok, just installed alpha 4 and the issue is resolved.

Ofc. the screenshot combo isn't working. Thats not a feature in cm7...

[Galaxy 3 General] dagobert2000:
Hi there,

I discovered some bugs which I haven't found in this bug list:

*) After entering the (correct) PIN code for unlocking the SIM it shows a message that the PIN was incorrect. However, unlock is done anyway and everything works fine.

*) The wrong mobile network operator is displayed. I'm using (in Austria) "bob", but "A1" is displayed. Even though Bob is a subcompany of A1, the correct MNO should be displayed (as it was with Froyo).

*) May that's not a bug, but just for ya information: GPS, as it is marked to be already fixed, is working, but horribly bad in comparison with Froyo. GPS lock needs under comparable conditions 10x longer that with Froyo.

so far, looking forward to first beta version,

Quadrant is ~580..

Checked in TE using "mount" command..
[Galaxy 3 General] Vdvx:
You can't say your filesystems with a quadrant score. For now, we can't change our filesysyems in cm7.

To check your filesystems, type in adb or terminal:

su

Mount

And you see that stl6,7 and 8 are rfs. Our 'high' quadrant score is due to the fact that quadrant has a bug with android 2.3.4. Our cpu scores will be higher(~1500) than normal.

Our higher I/O is probably due to some tweaks in cm7.

[Galaxy 3 General] Vdvx:
Checking your fs.current is wrong! The rom doesn't use that folder anymore. Those settings are the last filesystems settings youve used in your rom before flashing cm7.

And with ext2, my I/O was 1400 not 800. So no ext 2, just tweaks in cm7 that makes your phone I/O faster.

But ofc. We will wait for marcellusbe to clear these things out :)

They´re working on Gingerbread Kernel for G3, but it takes time to get it working.
[Galaxy 3 General] marcellusbe:
CM7/Gingerbread/Froyo etc ... and the Kernel are 2 differents things.

When you say CM7 for SG3 is not real "CM" is wrong : it is compiled with sources from cyanogen directly.. all the Android OS.

The Kernel I used, is still the kernel used in Froyo and I didn't mod any specific things in it to get it working with CM7. It just work and it manage the specific hardware of the G3.

I agree that if there are some important functions that are not implemented in the 2.6.32 kernel but needed by CM7, some features could not work. I think this is not critical because only few features.. maybe none are in this case. There are few CM7 ports out there on other device that still use 2.6.32 kernel. We will list any features that don't work because of the old kernel.

All kernels could work if they provides all the necessary drivers/functions for the Android OS to access the hardware, but yes, if one day the CM7 port is officially supported by the cyanogen team, then the cm-kernel would be adapted for the G3 hardware.

In alpha4, all the filesystem is RFS. For now, I won't change this until the first BETA. There are more important things to do before and I don't want to have side-effects and spend time on this for now.

I don't know why Quadrant show high I/O score in the build .. but it could be caused by a timer that quadrant use.

For the CPU score .. it could be the same reason, or the JIT has higher perf than JIT in froyo.

[Galaxy 3 General] marcellusbe:
I agree ... but for me it's real CM7 since the OS is compiled with sources from the cyanogen github whatever the kernel you use.

I don't know ... Maybe not a good idea to compare Quadrant score between different OS versions. See below, you have the same thing with eclair and froyo.

I was meaning that I use the fugumod kernel 2.6.32 without any changes in it.

The initramfs is standard and doesnt do conversion. Did you flash fugumod kernel after cm7?

until now, yes.

It depends on the RFS driver... It is possible to optimize it and you will get high score.

The problem is quadrant.. And it is maybe not good to compare CM7 against froyo. If you compare froyo against eclair, you will see that quadrant gives high I/O score with RFS with eclair.

and when you type "mount" under cm7, what do you see ?
