Thanks for answering all my questions guys. But I just have one more, I thought ROM Manager didn't work on the SGS4G. But when I flashed the ROM, it came with it. Should I disable it?

And what about all the apps? I can't find Movie Studio in the market, what is Terminal Emulator, and I don't have like Gmail or those apps. How do I get them?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Rom manager doesnt work so just uninstall it

You didnt follow instructions because you have to flash gapps in order to get ur google apps :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
Don't use ROM Manager. Everything you need to do in the app you should reboot to recovery and do it from there.

Gmail and other Google apps are not included in cyanogenmod by default per Google request. You can flash the optional icsgapps package to get the Google apps like market. Download the others as you wish.

Terminal Emulator is an app that you more than likely will never use. It's just the command line interface. Leave it alone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mng9639:
After updating from the 7/15 release to the 7/20 update, I've had trouble restoring my apps through titanium. To update, I flashed through cwm, wiped cache, dalvik, and fixed permissions. upon reboot, apps like tasker disappeared from the app drawer. I try to restore them using titanium but it just says "application not installed". I didnt have this problem prior to the 7/20 update. Any help with this is appreciated and i'll provide more info if needed.

EDIT: I resolved my issue by doing a factory reset and flashing it again. I just don't want to keep doing this process to update
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Can I flash the camera/bravia hack?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
It was made for GB. So go ahead and flash it. Report back with your findings.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
I'm guessing that's a maybe . But I'm playing it safe since I have a brickable phone unlike those people with the unbrickable phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Just fyi. Backup/restore with nandroid is broken with release 5.

Sorry, I'll have an update soon. Your backups made with rel5 are garbage.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mike231x:
Touch tone??

This isnt a really big issue but, when I had GB and I clicked anything like a app icon, It will make like a sound or touch tone sound or w.e.

I noticed in CM9 It doesn't is it a bug or is this just how its supposed to be?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Yes that is true . Backups made with CWM will ruin your SD card so don't do it lol. But does it affect anything else besides the SD card?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
settings/sounds - check touch sounds. The sound is there but very soft.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hawklet00:
so with that being said, and what bhundven said a couple of posts back, is it a good idea to wait for the next release before updating? or is the current r5 release stable enough as far as backup/restore goes?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
R5 is stable for use in my end. But if your gearing towards battery life I suggest you wait until that's fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hawklet00:
What about the backup and restore issue that was mentioned?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
This may be a bit longer of a wait. Its complex. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
If you have or do not have a backup CM9 still works. If you are going from a Gingerbread ROM (I'm assuming) I'm guessing that you have CWM, backup from there and etc...

The thing that wasn't working was the "backup" utility in CWM in CM9, you can still restore but not backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hawklet00:
ah ok. i put on cm9 as soon as i saw it came out. i think im running rc2. i go between this phone and the g2x. but yeah, ive got the blue cwm on the gs4g,
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Coneyaw:
CM9 + Gapps

I followed the steps on the wiki and installed CM9 and Gapps. I couldn't get my phone into red CWM if that matters ( it could explain some things, but seemed to work just fine using blue only.)

I had to download a file manager app because it looks like the old "Files" app was deleted. The closest I could find was "Downloads" which says "No downloads." If it helps diagnose, settings --> storage --> SD CARD isn't registering the 14GB of music I threw on there (Total: 29.88GB; Apps: 23MB; Pics/Vid: 27MB; Audio 64KB, DLs: 37MB; Available 15.55GB.) In addition, the ASTRO file manager app I installed properly reads and navigates the SD directories.

On a sidenote, was CM9 the best choice for me to install on this phone? or do most ppl like CM7 more on the SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
You has to be kittens me. Obviously CM9 is the best :P but anyways yeah the file manager is missing or purposely missing. I use "Explorer" by the maker of the Root Explorer since its not bloated and doesn't have ads. Astro and those other file managers are too bloated and has ads.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
What does he mean by this! :'O

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S 4G that can run temple run with no lag
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
That means either he is too busy with his personal life to work on this or he has nothing to put out at the moment. Not that this is going to be abandoned if that's what ure thinking lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Yup, getting a job is a greater priority then doing any rom/kernel dev work. But fret not.

I have some kernel work going on that all will be happy with. It's just not going to be done anytime soon, unless I get a job soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
That's fine man, you guys have already given us enough to be thankful for! Good luck with the job searching :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goodintentions:
Please forgive my newbie question.

Is wifi calling possible in the forseeable future with CM9?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
Negative. May never work. Proprietary stuff. There was an alternative posted a few times in this thread though. Don't remember what it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] galaxysteve18:
data connection

How do I get 4g to work? or is it not available yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
Huh? It sits on 3g until it needs to get data then it bounces on to 4g. If you're getting no data at all you should check your IMEI number. Settings - about phone - phone status I do believe. Make sure it's not jibberish or all 0's.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pabent:
Onky EDGE Signal...

I have had the ROM installed on my SGS4G for about 2 days now. My signal fluctuates all over the place. When it is stable I only see EDGE at best. I am dying PLEASE HELP! I have re-flashed cleared everything from the SD card to cache etc...still no dice...I also cannot find modems that are compatible with this phone and CM9...what to do?!?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
There are plenty of things you can check.

Check IMEI number if it's jibberish or all 0's you'll need to go back to stock and start over.

You can try flashing a different padded modem fix permissions and then let it run for a few days to see if it's better

Redownload ROM, check md5 sum to make sure it isn't a bad dl and then factory reset format system Wipe Dalvik and flash ROM.

Honestly going back to stock and restarting should be a one stop solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pabent:
Banging My Head Against The Wall...

Thanks to ALL for the replies!! It was and ID-10-T error. Somehow I had enabled the "Use only 2G Networks" option. What a dummy!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Is flashing padded modems mandatory?

What are padded modems? :eek:

I was browsing the sgs4g wiki and looked at how to install Cyanogenmod 9. I noticed there was a part about installing padded modems.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Search.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
I did but I still don't get it. All I can understand is modem alone but not padded. The padded part is what confuzziles me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Its padded because the official modems for our phone are too small to be used in CM builds. So they add padding to make the phone accept them, hence the term "padded" modems
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
That's such a better answer thank you.

So its mandatory to flash a padded modem on Cm9?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
No, CM9 already comes with a padded modem. You can flash them if you feel your radio isn't performing at its best, but again, its not mandatory on any rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
It came with KJ6, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Yep
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drp1209:
idk

ok i have this rom onmy phone and when i try to get the sim unlock the terminal can not find any of the codes the cd/dev/block is not found nothing i tryed to use the program someone made on one of these forms and it says to make sure i am using a sgs4g i am so lost and i need to do this
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
That does not work with CM9. You need to go to stock, get the code and then come back to CM9. However idk if you can unlock on CM9 once you have the code
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Opestein:
U guys are so awesome,u made us samsung white sheeps instead of black sheeps.TANKS A LOT.pls am having a little problem with my games,for instance when i open brother in arms HD and i press d shooting icon d game force closes.dis goes 4 all other shooting/fighting games but not football/car racing games.APOLLO closes anytime i play music 4 2minutes.BUT ALL OTHER TIN WORKS GREAT.TANKS ALOT TEAM ACID
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
So I noticed that it was mentioned that this was the last release as a herring device. Next release would be Aires. What's the difference?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
I was wondering the same thing as Greg what is the difference?

Try wiping your data, dalvik cache and system in recovery then reflash the rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Wiping cache will also wipe dalvik.

Making the phone's machine type Aries will make our phone more like it's galaxy s brothers. (Captivate, Vibrant, Fascinate, etc...). This still doesn't mean you can flash roms made for those phone's, but it does mean that we will use the Aries kernel that is more stable and shares code with them. That code is maintained by teamhacksung and the cyanogenmod teams.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Will it? I thought dalvik was stored in data? Have I been misinformed?

Edit: Unless you meant wiping DATA also wipes Dalvik which it does. Just reread it and will assume that's what you meant.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Thanks for explaining that sounds great. Is this what you were talking about when you first released your cm9 port when you said you hope you can update our cm9 kernel from 2.6 to 3.0.8?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
Im giving that twrp didnt work with this latest build? I cannot install twrp get status 7 error
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
Not to push for information but is this possibly in preparation for a potential jelly bean rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
No its to bring us inline with the other devices so its much easier to build from source.

As it is bhundven spends hours hacking together a kernel with help from people like jt and m4xm4n.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lonoguge:
OK thank you reflashing did the trick
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Opestein:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
What game is it? Maybe its the apps fault
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
The main things with changing from herring to Aries will make it easier to say upgrade the kernel to 3.x.x and also acid wont have to spend hours porting important commits from Aries to ours.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vgcraze:
Nice work bhundven, including all of Team Acid! I was gone just a few months and CM9/ICS was already released, hehe.

I noticed Facebook Contacts do not sync on CM9 also (I now know it happens to be any ICS ROM, because of a little feud with Google and Facebook), So I found this link. It shows how to get it working. If using CWM/TWRP, download the file named "FBSync CM9 2012-06-29 0510 -" and follow the instructions. I tested it, and it works.

Much thanks to that guy :)

EDIT: Also, try not to download it from your phone. Download the file from a computer first, then move it to your phone. Reason to do that is it failed to flash for me when I downloaded it from the phone's browser (the stock one and Dolphin Browser).

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Darkthefox:
I just tried to flash this rom to my roommates phone and it seems like it will only boot straight into recovery. I have tried flashing the rom multiple times but every time I am sent back to cwm 6.0.1.0. I am not really sure what to do since I usually work with htc devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Opestein:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vopezy:
Startover using one click and follow the instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
Perhaps this is a silly question, but are sure that you are choosing reboot to system, and not reboot to recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Darkthefox:
I am positive that isn't the problem. It does this even after pulling the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Oddly, if you have a bad cable or bad usb host port, OR you removed the usb cable too soon after oneclick'ing; you can end up where the phone knows it was left in a bad state and will set a value in the param.lfs to always boot to recovery. It's expecting you to flash with kies (in our case oneclick) again.

The solution is as vopezy said:

put your phone in download mode

flash with the oneclick (flash it twice to get the bootloaders and param.lfs written again. This is what we are suggesting when you get the always reboot to recovery problem. Flash bootloaders!)

use one of the cwm oneclick's I've provided in the second post of my oneclick thread (thanks again to AntonX and hampsterblade!)

flash cm9 from the cwm you just flashed

you should be fixed now ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Indeed. Let me clear some mis-information while we're at it.

What we have right now ultimately is based on the stock kernel. We have bent it and contorted it to work with CyanogenMod, AOKP, and other roms. When you flash a stock rom, your phone's machine type is herring. This is because T-Mobile and Samsung are basing their kernel off of the AOSP kernel source for Samsung phones ... plus a bunch of other garbage that is not specific to our phone.

To make 'dollars + time == sense', they usually support more then one board/device/phone per kernel drop. Our kernel drop contains code for Captivate(kepler), Infuse 4G (dempsey), Sidekick 4G (sidekick, duh), and there are bits of Vibrant (t959) but no kernel config.

Working with this stock kernel is painful, until you remove all of the non-sgs4g specifics. And ultimately after you do this, you are still in the same spot you started.

Other Galaxy S phones that had lots of developers and users got together and created their own machine type (in the same file I referenced above) called Aries. They didn't technically create the machine name, as that is the name of the main board source file (arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/mach-aries.c), but they did add the technical 'mach type' to differentiate it from herring. With Aries, and the popularity of the Galaxy S phones, they created a common code base where all of there phones could be supported.

The Aries kernel started with Gingerbread, and has been ported to ICS, and now JellyBean.

This is good news, for the phones/devices, officially supported in Aries. Because the few people that do the real porting to new kernel versions essentially port the kernel for them all.

Here comes the spoiler... I was talking with Krylon360 the other night on irc and he told me that because the Nexus S proprietary PowerVR blobs (that we use for our phone in ICS to get PowerVR - Graphics Support) have not been released for JellyBean yet. His reference on this info comes from JBQ: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/mquazdUgOno

So even though I have started porting my new changes to get us into the aries kernel (found here) have also been cherry-picked to JellyBean, we still need those Nexus S blobs to actually get a working rom.

So there you have it. AFAIU, we're stuck on ICS/CM9 for a little bit. And I have no pity for butt-hurtty users that will whine because we don't have JB/CM10 yet. Go outside and do something. Live your life. ;)

I just updated my SGS4G to CM9 with kernel 2.6.35.7-CM-ICS. Everything seems to work ok except when I try to read news or just browse random stuff. My battery goes from 100% to shutdown without doing anything special. Any bug reports on battery drain issues? Anything I should do different?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
There's no fix for the battery yet so you'll have to flash a different ICS rom. Im currently using nexus beam until CM9 gets all patched up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crematorio:
Thank you. I just put it on. So far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jt1134:
Although Google has not released the PVR blobs "officially", they can be pulled from a JB Nexus S ROM. The updated versions are already in the aries-common folder in the proprietary Samsung vendor repo on my github ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Yup, I also noticed that the imgtec repsoitory on TheMuppets was updated with jb, too. (9 days ago, as of this writing)

First thing in order is to get the new 3.0.8 kernel working with ics properly. I'm getting there.

Got storage working on mmc, but having problems getting wifi working, which is using sdio.

So, let me focus on ics, and when that works properly, jb will come naturally ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DevSun:
If I already have CM9 Version5 flashed, can I just flash CM9 Version 6? Or do I have to do something else?

Questions

1.Where is the Change log?

2.Will there be more updates?

3.How do i "Thank" Team Acid for their great work?

(im a little new to XDA)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farmerbb:
1. There is no official changelog, but you can go to Team Acid's github page and look at the commits for the kernel and device tree to see what's changed.

2. Yes! Right now they're hard at work porting us to the Aries kernel (better compatibility with ICS/JB)

3. Click the Thanks button on any of their posts, or better yet, send them a donation!

Is 4G working?

Guys,

Good work, I am really loving it coming from VH-FB..

Am I missing something why doesn't it show 4g?

The only thing I have noticed so far is the mobile data seems to show upto 3g only. I just got this yesterday so I have not done a speed test but I was thinking it would be 4g. Also the modem driver needs to be updated (i am using KJ6 still) seems to drop far more calls than before.

Thanks a bunch for good work team Acid..

PHR.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farmerbb:
CyanogenMod shows an "H" symbol in the status bar in place of 4G. Though if you're absolutely 100% positive that 4G isn't working for you, you might need to go back to stock and reflash
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
KJ6 that comes with cm9 is the default and its padded.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
If you are having issues with dropped calls check out FBs modem thread. It has the padded modems for ICS listed in there. I suggest using KG4 that is what FB uses in all his roms he builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phrami:
Thanks a bunch, but it seems the CM/ICS download link is not working on the modem thread, I will check back a bit later to see if SF is up again.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeflash:
Guys i need some help here. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Right now I'm back to stock with one click heimdall, custom kernel with cwm 5.0.2.8. I'm trying to flash cm9 but it fails every time.

What i do is factory reset, format system and then try to flash cm7. But it goes up to checking bml/mtd status and then reboots. After that, all I get is boot screen and then quickly the team acid logo. And boot loop. Can't seem to boot into cmw using the usual vol+/-combo :(

What am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ccamfield:
Hey all,

Thanks to the wiki, forum discussions, etc, I figured out how to fix the version check for my SGH-959W and upgrade to CM9 without bricking my phone (yay)!

Before upgrading I did backups, both with nandroid and with Titanium Backup. Am I right or wrong in thinking that going through a restore with Titanium Backup will restore access to my apps from the google store?

My specific question, though, is related to the CM9 equivalent settings to what I think must have been something in Gingerbread. On launching Titanium Backup, the app says my settings will prevent me from restoring, so go into settings, then "Applications", and then turn on the "Unknown Sources" checkbox. However, in CM9, there is no Applications submenu. There's apps, but that doesn't have any checkboxes. Where is this located now?

Oh, and if I pick Advanced, which is after Apps in the settings... Settings crashes. Should I be worried? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
Advanced crashing is a known issue.

The setting you're looking for is in security. It's the option underneath the device administrators.

If you don't have access to the Google store you haven't flashed the gapps package. That will at least give you access to the store. Restoring from titanium will link them again but I don't know what happens when you're coming from gingerbread and restoring data to an ics ROM. Never restore system data as a rule of thumb. At least I don't
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ccamfield:
I did flash gapps - that's how I got Titanium back up again. So I could just re-install all my apps from Google but I'm not clear on whether that would just properly overwrite the apps in the locations they were in before? If so, I could just do that, and skip the restore. (edit: I realize, this doesn't make a lot of sense. I assume that downloading an app DOES put it in the same place as before?)

Thanks, codealarms. And thanks very much for the tip to not restore system data - I know that I backed up both apps and system data with Titanium, so you've probably spared me something horrible. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
Way I do titanium and it could be overkill is:

Restore all the apps I want. Apk only.

Go back and pick and choose what data I want to restore, usually stuff that's too annoying to set back up or games that I just don't want to lose.

Reboot to recovery and then fix permissions.

Like I said. Could be overkill but it works for me.
