thanks for your answer, the E:Can't mount /cache... is gone now.

but when i go to advanced than i select wipe dalvik cache, it writes: E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext].

is it normal in case i don't have sd-ext partition, or not?

thanks in advance!

I got that error, too, yet everything works fine. I am not 100% sure whether it is related or not, but in CM9 the external SD card is mounted as /emmc or /mnt/emmc
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
So here´s a little instruction how i got arcos CM9 working without any problems since two days.

-started my phone in CWM and did a complete cleanup of my phone.

Wipe data, wipe cache, factory reset and formated internal and external sd-card.

-booted my SGS+ in Download Mode

-flashed the latest "recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.zip" after unzipping it with ODIN.

-pushed the "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-ariesve-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip" and the "CM9_Recovery..zip" over my cardreader on my laptop to my external SD.

-booted my phone in CWM

-again did a factory reset

-installed "CM9_Recovery.zip" and the "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-ariesve-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip"

-flashed gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip over CMW, before you didn´t do this, you are not able to sync or get back your contacts. This means you have to start Google+ or GMail, enter your account details, and after that bring back your (hopley before at Google saved) contacts.

-after two days of use, really no problems i copied the CM9_fix1.zip to my external SD and flashed it without any wipe or reset.

Works like a charme. MTP has to be enabled under "Storage". There you have to press the menue-button, and under USB-Connection (PC) enable "MTP". Just as at GB, your PC will show up your I9001 device, after installation of the driver.

That´s it! I only can say, if you want to have a fast and smooth CM9, backup your data before flashing, and copy it back later.

One more hint. I did use Titanium Backup only for 2 or 3 Apps, to get back DATA, i didn´t restore any Apps itself.

I am not responsable for bricked devices. This small "How to" is how i did it, worked fine for me.

Cheers, Martin

Do you have an recovery.fstab?

Or another thing, where we can find the partition table?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RiverSource:
The required fstab files are included in the original recovery.img. I have used them for my tests, and it seemed to work. I tried also other fstab files, but then CWM was complaining about wrong partitions.

My problem is the mixed up display, as described. Mounting the partitions is easy. I will test your CWM in the afternoon.

Btw: you have to provide Flash Files for Odin Multidownloader as SMD Files. Tar is not working. See my investigations on SMD Files here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1105832
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
I have researched the files.

You must flash a SMD file ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
Yeah, i have repacked snake´s recovery.img.

I have included it in the zip, the smd file.

But which fstab files you have used?

Netchip

P.S After CWM I go try to port a special recovery :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stealthrider:
Your recovery results in the same what RiverSource said, you get a messed up screen but all functions are working.

Picture is located in the attached zip.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shad0wboss:
flashing CWM would get rid of stock recovery thus voiding the warranty?

there's a way to get the stock recovery back no?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
Its maybe the videodriver.

We go investigate, thanks for the picture.

BTW its not my recovery, I have repacked him.

Yes, there is a way to get warranty back, flashing stock rom back.

Then use a jig, they sell them on ebay.

Im busy with synching my computer with cyanogen´s repo, then i go try :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shad0wboss:
no i didn't mean stock rom...i meant stock recovery...i'm trying to pull it out of system so that whenever one wants. One can flash the stock recovery, this way it gets rid of clockworkmod recovery and phone becomes genuine..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
Yes, in the stock rom is stock recovery ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shad0wboss:
no no i meant...the recovery which is replaced by CWM...there's a stock recovery which is used to root the phone...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
Yes, I understand.

There is in an package of Samfirmware.com a original recovery.img
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
Someone knows how to fix this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RiverSource:
I had to edit the scripts in order to allow bigger images. Search for "too large (", than it is easy to find.

Unfortunately I have no access to my development computer till tomorrow evening. Therefore I can not check the script which I had to edit.

Regarding the festab: After splitting the recovery.img into Kernel and ramdisk, I have extracted the ramdisk (see my root thread how to deal with Androids boot.img). In /etc there are two files:

recovery.fstab

recovery_mmc.fstab

The recovery_mmc.fstab contains the Samsung partition layout. As I said: I tried both. The recovery.fstab gave mount errors after boot, the recovery_mmc.fstab not.

The problem is the messed up display. I have no experience in porting CWM. Therefore I don't know, how to deal with this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
Yes, but how large is the boot partition?

And what is your recovery.fstab?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RiverSource:
Uhh, sorry, see my Edit.

As far as I know, the boot and the recovery partition have 8 MB.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
Thanks, have you a logcat about this?

<adb logcat>

If you boot in recovery.

P.S you must have adb on your computer
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RiverSource:
Hello,

with stock recovery there is no adb functionality, although "USB Debugging" is enabled.

With your Recovery, logcat ist not working:

/sbin/sh: logcat: not found

But I have a dmesg:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
I see one error after 2 minutes searching.

Maybe I find more.

The error:

Maybe we have the wrong data partition in the fstab?

Can you test your recovery?

And post it here?

EDIT: Maybe someone can tell me how to setup BoardConfig.mk
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netchip:
Idea: in the boot.img have we also recovery.

In the root of it, there is standing: recovery.

And btw, maybe MUST we enable logcat in our recovery´s ....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RiverSource:
Yes, I already thought the same thing. In the init.rc adb is completely disabled. Even, if the persist.adb property is set.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Oh yes, just another phone with no possibility to change the battery.

And changing of the sd-card is impossible without a tiny frickling tool.

The "all-in-wonder-smartphone" does not exist. There are issues at every phone, which will different people make unsatisfied.

ICS impressions

I am happy like a cat full of pennies cause I have 2 phones running CM9.

Thanks to arco (hope to donate some $$$ your way soon, but I will not marry my firstborn to yours like some other dudes here, sorry) I have it in our device.

Impressions

Fast

Fast

Did I mention thats FAST?

Stable so far

beautiful.

Having said that I still dont think that my next phone will be a Sammy one.

They have really good specs, but they are messing with my mind and wallet.

I got S+ and I feel robbed.

Thats all for now
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cpt. Captain:
Since this is the general thread, I think its justified to ask this here:

Is there something like 13 Toggles Mod for CM9?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fabsau:
awesome a newbie is asking here!!!

men I´m impressed (no offending dude, the other noobs should take a part from you)

Yes something like 13 toggles mod exists in cm9 and follow these steps to enable them

1. Enter the settings

2. Click on System

3. Click on Notification Drawer

4. Click on Widget buttons and select your toggles

Hoped I helped you :)

if there are other questions regarding this post feel free to contact me

peace out fabsau
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samms:
So far my experience with switching ROMs haven't been smooth.

I've notice quite a boost in speed but it has always been with a great deal of instability and random FCs.

I've narrowed down some FCs to one consistently occurring whenever I try to select a word or text, whether Im writing a memo, email or text message.

I've done a a few searches on what could be causing this but so far anything reporting something closely similar had its solution is apps, software/hardware or updates I don't have.

Anyone familiar with this? Could really use some help :<

Running BroodROM RC4 on my i9001
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tzutzyalex:
problem

Guys, i got a massive problem. Today i installed cm7(accidentally, though it was cm9) and it worked. Booted, started. When i tried to connect to usb, it did not work, so i removed the usb and it still said it was connected. That kinda freaked me out, since i couldn't add the backup to the sdcard. So then i tried to boot into download so i can flash a rom with odin. Turned the phone off, and now it won't turn on. I am really scared and terrified, since i don't have money to buy a new phone and am afraid warranty won't fix it. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sqnyster:
That won't achieve anything if he can't turn on his phone and access recovery.

this is from fabsau's NOOB-Starter guide:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] peterhollard:
Value Pack KQB

I am running the value pack KQB with the Vitality kernel, InteractiveX and noop (not overclocked), H3llstorm's GPS fix config, WiFi Fixer and the official CWM from bashinx.

It's smooth, fast and stable. Has the best battery life I have ever had. No FC's. GPS fix from cold in 3 minutes and thereafter about 30 secs. Still some WiFi drops but seldom, WiFi gets strong signal and is fast. Only problem I have found is that the front facing camera gives upside down image in Google Hangouts.

CM9 will have to be very good to get me to change from this.

Perhaps I will move to broodROM proposed BE when it is released as I had a good experience with broodROM RC4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _strauch_:
The first alpha is very good, i think it needs only a little time and you will change, it runs very smooth, wlan works very good. GPS etc. too, only the camera....... I don't know how long the battery life is, but i will see.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Freaki81:
[Q] How can i protect free RAM or dissable lags?

Hello,

i have Cranium RC9 on my phone, but i´m still dissatisfied.

It seems that the memory quite often get overload and this makes my phone very slow and lagy. After killing tasks/apps RAM get more free space and all is good.

This sucks. Did someone have the same problem, but more interessting is the question: "how can i make sure my phone is every time fast?"

Sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zimmbadroid:
Did you try Simplistic rom from Dutch.ly?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rayiskon:
if the camera was working, cm9 would've been the best piece of software for our device ;) GPS (from cold) locks in 2 seconds, to 7-8 satellites at least, furthermore, it even locks if u are not in the open, with samsung stock roms it seemed like the gps antenna on i9001 is very weak, i never could get a lock while i'm in the apartment (8th floor in a 10 floor building), i had to stick my hand out of the window and wait for a few minutes. with cm9 i get a lock within 5-10 seconds while i'm inside the apartment.

battery life? 1 day 13h still have 37% left, and i've used my phone a lot, watched youtube, surfed, read xda a lot, wifi always ON, few sms... the only hint for that is that u have to have a caliberated battery.

wifi shows lower signal than on stock roms (in terms of bars u see in the icon), but speed is not affected, so it might well be only visual.

RAM management is the killer part, i never got over 250 mb of used RAM, and i have all sort of apps running, whatsapp, viber, facebook,elixir... and all of them take it's share. with cm9 u get 370mb of free RAM (at least for now).

smoothness and very rare wake lag are also important factors that talk in cm9's favor.

there are still some bugs in cm9, no one is ignoring that, but in my opinion it's already (by far) better than stock, camera is the only limiting factor (and actually i usually use it quite frequently) , other than that KQB is no where in the rank of cm9 :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Freaki81:
I already use oc on my phone! 1,7 Ghz

No Changes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] peterhollard:
Well that's a very positive review.... give me the camera and I'll give it a spin
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Freaki81:
No, what can you tell me about this rom?

Do you have more free RAM?

i dont use realy much apps, but some how they start in the background and tortures my phone until i only have approx. 40 MB free.

This situation makes it slow.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

@rayiskon

I had no Camera on Cranium RC9 too.

MIUI Camera runs now on it and the camera opens very fast.

But i´m still not proud of this cam, its more like a lightsensor which try to create a picture:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] annqx:
Does anyone know what the Dialer is linked to? Only Phone.apk? Somehow I was able to mess that up.

Always get a notification "App is not installed" when I try to open Dialer through Launchericon.

Deleting Phone.apk and pushing it (unchanged) to system/app again doesnt work(even after reboot)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aahf89:

i want to flash CR9 9001 ,i read it thread but i see it installation is differ than other rom

shall i put zip file on sd card and flash it or what ?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zimmbadroid:
Check THIS tutorial.

Edit: Does CR9 stands for Cranium or you misspelled CM9?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aahf89:
Cranium 9 not CM9
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zimmbadroid:
Then you need to read the official CR9 thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rayiskon:
y would u use cranium rom when we have other custom roms that work without any major bugs, and camera is working great ;)

But now i don´t!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samms:
Sadly, my ROM issues are quite persistent...

Now my music is no longer showing is the player app (stock nor winamp) but still there when browsing to its ligation on my extSD...

anyone familiar with this? could really use some help
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zimmbadroid:
Which ROM are you running? Did you exactly follow ROM install instructions (format partitions, etc)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samms:
Running BroodROM RC4, and yes I followed the instructions by the letter...

After a reboot, without anything funny in between, the "Home directory" seems to have changed and both players were displaying audio files on the internal SD card while, by default, my music is on my external SD. It worked fine yesterday though...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zimmbadroid:
Try cleaning cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) in recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samms:
Thanks for your replies.

Wiped both Dalvik and cache but no joy.

Formatted the ExtSD card, copied the files back and rebooted. Still nothing.

The music players both seem to play the files but songs are not "imported" or are not listed anywhere except when using the folder browser.

Launching the apps with different launchers didn't help either. Both apps were repeatedly wiped from cache, data and reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samms:
That doesn't quite explain why my music just decided to hide in the music apps... it was working fine yesterday.

Now tried another Media Scanning app, unmount and remounted the SDcard, ensured no .nomedia files were around..

I fear it may be a faulty microSD card. I can vaguely recall some tracks skipping before this happened.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Freaki81:
i installed Broodrom rc4 now, works fine fast and many good things.

But wifi don´t work good now.

I tried the wifi fix instructions, but now i have most time no wificonnecten.

When i turn off wifi and turn on again it works for a few minutes or a few seconds.

Do any one have a idea what can i do.

Or must i try the next rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mirceabadea:
KQB and KQ7 have wifi problems, so nothing you can do about that.

Acellerometer on CM9

Well, I have CM9 on my phone for about a week now. And it was working properly untill today. When I saw that my Acellerometer was just not working in apps like browser youtube etc. but it works in games like mega jump. Is this like a cm9 bug because it was working today and just when I got home it stopped working properly I can only het it to work by shaking my device really hard.:confused: -FS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] triplebackspace:
You can try to recalibrate the accelerometer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alessia3:
you are right

but you are not considering that:

1) sgs+ cpu and ghraphic compartment are much faster than sgs and less comsuption

2) sgs+ battery is better (1650mah!!!)

3) sgs+ modem is twice faster than sgs

4) sgs+ has internal storage memory, which is faster than sdcards

5) all the above, at the same price of an sgs!!!

and why are you seeking for custom roms? high performance? battery saving???

as you see, our sgs+ is much better than sgs, no matter which rom you are using!

and you really think there is a smartphone without bugs?

now, are you more satisfied of you sgs+?

i hope so.....

cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Freaki81:
you´re right:D

The original rom was to slow, Cranium drives me crazy, install install and install and tune and .... until it runs much better, but not enough.

the brood rc4 rom runs like i wish, only the wifi makes me ill.

But i think i handled it, changed some wifi settings on phone and in my accesspoint. It seems stable now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DFFAS2009:
How

How do you calibrate your acellerometer in cm9 becuase I haven't found a way to it yet ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kokacrime:
of course there are more roms with less bugs for sgs than sgs+ because it's longer on the market. and why do you need more custom roms? i suggest you to install broodrom until ics got more bugfixes.. and i guess you'll find a sgs-owner who would trade with you if only the number of custom roms is important to you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Freaki81:
In earlier posts i write that i have wifi problems with brood.

Wifi fixes from the install thread didn´t help.

But now i tryed many other settings, now im satisfied.

Forget my posts. Everything is fine now.

wanna ask regarding the broodrom rc5, brood do u include the ICS animation in RC5?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rayiskon:
ok guys, so i sold my S+ , just can't stand the fact that we have to constantly tweak and improve what samsung messed up, coming from an htc device, the S+ was definitely the worst android experience, despite the solid hardware, but samsung managed to screw it up, that's y i'm never going back to a device powered by samsung's software, needless to mention their lack of support concerning ICS. our cm9 port looks promising though, but it's still a port and it'll never work a 100%, and i just don't have the time anymore to keep following what's new and what's been fixed, as for stock roms, they're out of the question, wake and scrolling lag and occasional reboots just kill the whole experience. What i'm looking for is a device where everything will work great out of the box, any tweaks added should be just to get something extra out of it, not in order to fix stuff like it is the case with Samsung. So my choice fell on the Galaxy Nexus, despite that it's not the strongest piece of hardware out there,but after a few days experience all i can say is that this is what i was looking for, satisfies my needs in all aspects. Also hopefully i can count on official updates in the few years to come.

Anyways, it was nice hanging out with u guys, met new people, shared the same feelings for samsung lol , hopefully we'll meet again in another section ^^

[Galaxy S I9000 General] medwe27:
My point is that S+ was released to provide a device between the S and S2, running GB (and with a hw for GB). samsung sad, S and S+ wont have ICS support, contrary to S2. After all, Nexus was release to promote the ICS. So I think its unnecessary to blame an "old" device, because its not supporting the "new" sw. Btw you also cannot run W7 on P2.

So goodbye, and good luck for the Nexus! :)
