FAQ (Please Read!!)

Q: Can I flash over a previous version of CM7?

A: If updating from an already CM7 running SGSL phone, just flash the latest update zip file as it contains all the fixes from previous updates.

Q: I just installed and I don't see the Marketplace, cannot see GMail, cannot sync Contacts.

Q: I just installed and I don't see any Google Apps.

A: You need to install the Google apps.

Q: I restored from Titanium Backup but my applications are not working

A: Do not restore system data, only restore application+user data. CM7 uses new system data and if you restore on top of it, things will not work.

Q: My battery life is simply awful, any tips?

A: Wi-Fi, bluetooth, and GPS are major battery killers. Wi-Fi and bluetooth are particularly hungry, so turn them off when you don't need them.

Q: The phone booted but I'm not getting any signal, what gives?

Q: My phone takes a few minutes to establish a 3g signal after I turn it on, what gives?

A: Known issue with polling when staring up the network. Put the phone to sleep by pressing the power button and waking it up a few times and it will usually come up with a signal.

Q: I lost my SMSC information, how to I get it back?

A: Follow these steps to restore.

Q: When will Voodoo sound/color/sharpness be integrated?

A: Maybe some parts will be integrated someday, but there some UNSUPPORTED kernels available on the threads that do this already. Please direct any issues related to these to the appropriate developers, not us.

Q: Your notification toggles are different than mine, how can I change them?

A: Go into Settings, CyanogenMod Settings, Interface, Notification power widget, Widget buttons

Q: I really miss the accurate battery mods, can I flash these?

A: No, but you can go into Settings, CyanogenMod Settings, Interface, Status bar tweaks, "Battery percentage"

Q: Where can I get themes for this?

A: A quick search for "theme engine" on the market will produce a number of results, but there are some in the general Android Themes section

Q: Can I use the video player/music player/contacts/phone/launcher from a Samsung ROM?

A: No, anything hooking into Samsung's framework will not work on this ROM, there are plenty of alternatives in the market.

Q: How do I go back to a Samsung stock ROM?

A: The easiest way is to go back to stock using Odin and flashing a full firmware (including PIT file) with repartition checked (Odin One-Click does this by default on Captivate)

Q: Can I use ROM Manager to install or back up this ROM?

A: Yes. (not applicable at this time)

Q: Why can't I play .avi or .mkv files? They worked fine with Samsung's ROM.

A: Due to codec licensing issues, this can't be provided out of the box. Several apps from the marketplace should be able to replicate this feature (such as RockPlayer)

Q: Can I use another kernel like CF-Root with this?

A: MAYBE, but you have to make sure it is compatible. We do not support any kernels except the one we install.

Q: GTalk doesn't work with FFC?

A: We can either have a fully fixed camera without gtalk video chat support (samsung libcamera)

or we can have a buggy camera with gtalk video chat support (opensource libcamera). We went with the fully working camera without GTalk FFC support. Once we have updated libs from Samsung for camera, it'll work.

Q: I encountered a bug, how do I find out if it's known and where can I report it?

A: You can look through the issue tracker here. If you do not see your issue, please report it. If someone else has it, please star it (but please do not file "Me too!" reports). Try to also attach the logcat output and last_kmsg to the bug report by:

desktop$ adb logcat > logcat.txt
desktop$ adb shell
# cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg (only if you had a crash/reboot)
# dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
# exit
desktop$ adb pull /sdcard/last_kmsg .
desktop$ adb pull /sdcard/dmesg.txt .
desktop$

Attach the logcat.txt and last_kmsg files to the bug report. Of course, you need to have the android SDK installed to do this. Use this to paste the bug:- http://pastebin.com/

Thank you. Im just helping :)
