Netchip I appreciate your efforts , I am so sad I don't able to test your builds (out of my town :( )

But I can see your are good talented android dev.

I can understand you don't have device and develop without device is really a pain in ass.

May be some day our community gift you a galaxy sl through donation.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] leongwenjun:
:) thanks you
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
I have released CM7, Im so happy now :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
Can't wait to test it. :) Hopefully it will work with minor bugs only. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
thanks very much sir! Testers ready your phone!

:) i cant flash it ryt now.. im in my work and dont have my pc.. :)

thanks so much again netchip!

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

netchip what is the procedure?

install update.zip

or install kernel in CW Manager?

thanks for the reply!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
downloading...hopefully the zip file can be flash and working...crossing fingers now...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
First install CF-ROOT kernel.

Then via clockworkmod install my CM7 zip :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
ok.. if it is fail how to get back easily? :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
Resore nandroid backup.

Oh yeah BTW, convert your partitions to ext4 !!!

If it dont work, I have a version with omap3 hardware included, so camera libs are there in etc.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
do a nandroid backup before flash this..If doesn't work:( ,then restore back ur backup..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
@netchip ok sir! i will try this one.. :)

thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
Do you have your partitions converted to ext4?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Slynightdark:
Is this the latest kernel you attached?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] albs:
sorry netchip i was not at home. can u explain me how to proceed?

if i have understand:

1. flash a clean stock of froyo

2. flash your kernel

3. convert in ext4

4. flash cm7

is correct?

thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] voit:
be back in 20-30 min and we will test something I suppose :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
I also not so understand...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
I will explain:

1. Flash froyo KB3 with repartition and bootloaders, WARNING: bootloaders flashen is always dangerous!

2. Flash my future kernel with froyo ramdisk

3. Convert to ext4

4. Flash CM7
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
I get it...Downloading KB3..What will happen if bootloader flashen fail or what??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
I dont know so much, but if it good failed, you can go to samsung service center ...

But thats on SGS not so much happening.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
@ netchip

I have a doubt. We all know that all cm7 rom is based on GB version only. Then why should we flash back to froyo??? Bootloader flashing in always risky. It causes most of times many problems. I think u should work on kernal only on basis of xxkph. Its safe for all of us.:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] voit:
according to netchip's steps:

I believe that we should go the following way:

1. Flash Froyo XXKB3

2. Flash skin's CWM for XXKB3

3. Make backup

4. Convert to ext4

5. Restore backup and test for booting XXKB3 (it will boot and operate properly for sure)

6. Flash netchip's future CWM

7. Test for booting and operation XXKB3.

and only after these steps we can

8. install CM7 files trough netchip's future CWM

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

vishal24387 , just have a look here about DroidX. They have to flash back to Froyo in order to use CM7. And surely you are free to download CM7 firmware (zip file) for DroidX and inspect it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
@ netchip - can you please update your original post with this v5 kernel and its steps for installation?

If there is clear instruction on your main post then maybe more people can test it and your development for this will be faster !!

Thanks a lot for this work !!

Tapashocked :) via my gt-I9003 with a random keyboard of my choice ! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blala:
Also the thing i don't get is another:

Why is netchip trying to port a thing that already exist?

The ext4 module can be easly extracted from skin CF-Root and inserted in any ramdisk of any normalboot.img

I did this way and now i'writing from my custom compiled kernel and ext4 module.

Aren't we ready to proceed to cm7?

Ext4 and 2.6 kernel are the main requisites to get cm7 running.

I tryied to compile cm7 but got many errors. But i agree with some people on xda that we must research on the Droid X. It has the same Omap3630 chipset and it's available in cm7 sources as motorola shadow. I believe in netchip, but i don't think that flashing back froyo would help. Playing with bootloaders often leads to hard bricks, and i don'believe they play a great role in cm7. The I9003 bottloaders (boot.bin and Sbl.bin) main job is to initialize hardware and load normalboot.img (kernel + ramdisk).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] voit:
blala , OK, we wouldn't flash back to froyo if somebody can implement something like this.

But still your can look through FAQ on Motorola Droid X and look into CM7 firmware for it also. The have no specific kernel!!!

It seems to me that porting, booting and all around that wil stuck on compiling drivers/modules for our device
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
Most of motorola handsets which have the locked bootloaders is also having cyanogenmod7 which is running on the stock kernel just see the milestone section
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yamchirobe:
Even the

Sgs needs to go froyo to instal cm
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I didn't find any proprietary files in this CM7 archive. There is no modem, gps, even openGL libraries. No firmware files... How do you think it will work with this device? May be you should add these files before compiling CM7?

I think that's why if people install CM7 without formatting partitions (just manually unpack .zip file) it can boot (in the stock ROM we have these files), and when they format system partitions and put there pure CM7 (with help of applying .zip file) CM7 doesn't boot.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
we have last option here...

gave $1 each as a donation in cyanogenmod team to buy them i9003.. so that they can port cm7 and other services in the future..

:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
Cm7 team goea not porting dor it be cause THERE IS A TOO SMALL COMMUNIYY!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
yes,i agree..:rolleyes:I think that the main reason they don't want to port it is not because they do not have this device..It is because I9003 is small community just like netchip said..and not worth for them to port something that less ppl will use it..and for them maybe it is only wasting of time...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] syntax_gosong:
But IMHO I9003 is a powerful device comparing to others...!! :)

Hmm... what should I say then? They might not port CM7 to us officially.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
are you sure were small? we are small last month but ive noticed that we are increasing in numbers.. xda is only 1 of the development forum for phones.. as our chinese members said there are chinese community too..

but if you said that.. ok... we will wait till netchip port it..

we will just support netchip here..

but i ask the dev who make the cm7 for the droid x in cyanogenmod forum if he can help us here..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
Yes compared to SGS AND SGS2,we are micro
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
it's only my opinion...Another thing you see how many Samsung phone that have official CM..only 5..I think they more focus on HTC phone..like they are porting CM for HTC Sensation now..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
dont compare to that phone netchip.. because it has different chipset compared to us.. and its in the hi end phone ryt now..

like codeworkx said we cant use the cyanogenmod of samsung phones because our phone is different to that and they cant help us.. :( but im truly positive with this..

really hoping that someone behind the cm7 of droid x came here to teach us how to edit those proprietory files to work for our phones...

we can do it with the help of netchip! the genius!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Yes sgs and sgs2 are flagship phones and available for long time in market compare to us.

But atleast nobody in india purchasing sgs instead of sgsl coz sgsl more value for money and best phone in its segment,

If I have sgs budget I will go for htc desire HD.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] albs:
so we abandon the project???i'm not a developer but is possible that all the devs that are present on the forum (amit, skin, nama, etc)can't help us in doing this porting???

thanks for your effort to netchip and all those who have worked so far
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
not we are not abandoning this.. we can do this with our own developer support and with netchips help..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
I hate abandon this "ugly" word...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] albs:
i'm very very happy for this guys, so if i said can we involve same others devs in this project to help us???

i'm always avaible to test
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blala:
I don't think so. This phone is popular in the middle east and in far east (china, india, .....) and also it'selling in Italy.....they need a I9003 to do the job They told us (don't remember which member on XDA asked them on IRC)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
have anyone tried the new update zip??

recovery with corrected keys??

I have flashed the recovery : working Fine (booted with normal files)

applied zip file : (Stuck at boot Screen [samsung galaxy sl GT-i9003] screen).

but no boot looping

still Waiting to boot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
yeah.. hmmm... there is someone here who can donate a phone for them to use for porting cm7.. maybe 20 people or 30 can donate..

thanks in advance for those people!

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mathcode:
It was discussed two or three month ago.

We resolved to collect more signs for cm7 devs.

At least 5 users from 4pda.ru were agree to donate devs.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
problem is with the script.please create a correct script

the files are not copied to corresponding dir

so the phone stucks at boot screen

I think the files must be copied folder by folder

/system is not working

copy each filder as

/system/app

/system/framework

etc

please make the update-script file as above and upload that file

Not exactly 'adb not detected'. If you unmount system in CWM and adb shell prompts exec 'system/bin/sh' error. When system is mounted, adb shell just returns but not block there 'wait-for-device'. So I guess something wrong in system/bin.

4. Another thing to make sure before embarking on installing CM 7 on your Galaxy S phone is to make sure that you are on a Android 2.2 Froyo bootloader. if not, then follow the instruction in this post to downgrade your bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] voit:
Netchip, may I suggest not to implement you version of CWM into kernel? Skin's CWM are doing their work (backing up, restoring, key presses and etc.). I think that skin's CWMs can be taken as base for futher developmen if needed.

My strongest opinion is that we shouldn't think of modifying kernel to load CM7. Remember DroidX example.

By the way I have a log of skin's CWM+froyo+ext4+cm7(modified tmp-signed.zip)

Is this way of port works on any kernel? Or there're any more requirements of kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
So some ppl say netchip didn't put this proprietary files in his zip file..And it is necessasy to run cm7..is it?So if can someone pull it from our device and give it to netchip to put in his zip...or the files can get it from the sourse code?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mastercipo:
yeah the same way but there are things to be considered before proceeding, as of the moment to me personally i dont know if the said guide can be done also to our device, i dont have enough time to look and test every tiny details to port cm7 to i9003 im quite busy.

looking at netchip work i think he is way too far to achieve his goal to port this cm7 to our device, I think everybody should look at the guide, acquire xxph source if you have and lets see how far can we go but as of the moment i dont know if i can even help im currently loaded with so much work.

this won't help. we don't have any of that proprietary files as Droid X has. We has not all files as SGS has.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bierkuh:
Yes, but in the tutorial, you can see that they are copying the proprietary files via adb with a script from the device which has to be connected to the pc.. this should be work also for our device with a modified script.. or am i false? :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
I think the proprietary files can be pull from our device through ABD..SGS also pull the proprietary files from the device...Just need the know the directory of the file and command to pull it out..Am i right?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] voit:
Surely I meant that proprietary files could be copied from phone through ADB as you can see.

And it is a good possibility to compare what files should be copied from SGS and DroidX (remember that i9003 almost like DroidX by hardware)

1) script for SGS

2) script for DroidX
