Probably 'cause Bryan got tired of you guys asking in the dev thread if the ringer was fixed ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
To much BS
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] onionjuice:
Well is it fixed?

jk

I like the rom so far but unfortunately have to go through the painful process of restoring to stock first.

FB is it OKAY if i flash CM9 from stock? or is it a must that i install CM7.2 first?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
Understandable. I can't post in the dev threads, but I might be guilty of it myself if I could :laugh: I am really looking forward to the fix however. Actually I want the ringer fix for MIUI v4 :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Is anybody else having problems with battery life? I left my phone off all night, and the battery was completely drained .that never happened to me before
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Flash cm7 first. From release 2 of CM9 on, you'll be able to flash directly from BML.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Ya know with using github for bug reports keeping it locked is probably the best thing for now. People see shiny and the questions just roll off the keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] onionjuice:
omg thank you mr short bus driver it worked. I used gremlin flashed cm7 and here i am with CM9!!

thanks all for your help. Now to try out MIUI!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aburn95:
I cannot find any any instructions where these bootimg files come into play when installing these roms. Sorry if this is stupid but I just don't get it.

Don't know why installing the MTD roms is so difficult for me but i can't get past blue recovery or a samsung screen bootloop when trying to install them (CM7/9). I tried using the gremlin remover back to stock first but no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eb13:
If you haven't; read this - http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Installing_CyanogenMod_7 if you have maybe read again. Boot.img is for heimdall, you don't need it flashing through cwm recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Battery life is great for me. Check your battery usage under system options.

Does anyone know if I can remove Trebuchet from the ROM zip file, and put in my favorite launcher to have as default system launcher, like I did with VB?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aburn95:
I have man but thanks I'll go through it again. And I figured that's what it might be for just wasn't sure. The instructions seem simple enough.... I think it's just the trouble that follows me everytime I try to do something.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sixmsj:
From CM7, we only need the zip file to install right?

Can anyone post a link to the ICS Gapps?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I just install apex (insert favorite launcher here), and don't try to remove anything.

but that's just me ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Like just regular install, like d/l from market and install? When I was on VB, I deleted the ADWLauncher from the ROM's zip file, and inserted the paid version, and flashed it. After that, ADW EX was the default base launcher, and because it was embedded in the system, it used less RAM and resources. That's only why I'm wondering if I can do the same with these ICS roms.

And, if it's possible with any ROM, I'd like to know, before I post a similar question in other ROM's QA threads.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
idk if adw works on ics... worth trying if thats what you like.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
No sir, I plan on using APEX. I'm just wondering if making it the default system launcher by inserting it into the ROM zip and flashing it, will work. If you don't know for sure if it does, or does not, I'll try it myself and let you know what happens. But, the only reason I ask first, is if you or anyone else would know for sure that it doesn't work because of some reason or another.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
I did and it works for me. I also put an extra launcher into data/app just to make sure I had a backup launcher and after I found out the system one worked I just uninstalled the other one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Thank you for the verification!! HELLS YEAH!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ChadBFlores:
We do not need to flash the cm9 boot.img if we r coming from cm7, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StevenViper:
It does, i'm using it right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
For the 1000th time, the boot.img if for flashing through Heimdall. For now, you must flash cm7 to flash cm9. Flash the zip, not .img....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
For now. I have a build coming where you can flash from bml.

I only posted the boot.img incase you had problems flashing from anything but a cm9 recovery, which isn't the case. But there if you want to. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Exactly why I said, "for now." I can't wait for the new build. Hopefully the bml fix, and ringer fix will be together on the same build. The bml fix will be awesome for GRing to stock and getting back quickly. Like I'm doing now, b/c I didn't know that mtd wont read SIM contacts. Had to go back to stock to export them to SD. Plus, it's always good to use GR when going to a new ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Darky Brewster:
Face Unlock?

Any word on being able to add face unlock to this rom? I know there was a link posted (airfluip's post on page 2) but when i flashed it, it just rebooted my phone and there was nothing under the unlock options... I understand it had to be removed from cm9 because of a cease and desist from google and i'm aware it is being worked on, i'm just curious if it would be a project in itself to add it or if a flashable zip will be available soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:

Download the ROM zip file to your SD card

Reboot to CWM/TWRP

Do a factory reset

Format /system

Flash the ROM using CWM/TWRP

(Optional) Flash gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip if you want the Market plus other Google apps.

Reboot to the ROM

I'm having problems with the download instructions... I'm coming from a brand new Galaxy S 4g. And I can't seem to find anything in the dev. section related to adding clockworkmod for this phone!?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
You have to read more - much more. Start out with the guides of lumin30 and Juls317 (in the General section) first of all. Make sure your phone is up to GB before trying to do anything CM-related. THEN read the various dev threads about CM7 (yes, CM7) and the wiki article on CM7 before attempting anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Follow this guide, until you have to flash a ROM, to get red clock workmod, then flash cm7, and finally follow the instructions for cm9

What about flashing the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
For anyone asking about facelock though it's possible right now the ffc has the 90°rotation bug so it'll be useless to put it on unless you twist 90° everytime to unlock :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Flash one of the two kernels in the guide, that's what gets you cwm. It'll change anyway when you flash the Roms
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 3rdman:
I've been running CM9 now for two days and things are pretty darn stable...I'm impressed and VERY grateful! Thank you!

Since this thread seems to also be the only place here to post issues, I hope y'all don't mind a few to them. Aside from the ringer issue, I'm seeing a shorter battery life compared to Valhalla-Final that I was running before. Lastly, I've noticed that bluetooth doesn't auto-connect to my car's stereo...my phone will show that it's connected when it isn't.

Still...I'm loving it so far! Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Ringer has been fixed. bhundven posted a new build. READ THE FIRST THREE POST AGAIN THINGS HAVE CHANGED!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Skorpion_:
Hey I've followed the guide and done everything correct. But on the isntructions for installing CM7 it says reboot into RED CWM, but mine reboots into a blue CWM, does this matter?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] raphifix:
I started out in blue cwm (from cm7) and flashed with no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Skorpion_:
Is it normal for a little blue android guy on a skateboard to be on my screen for more than 5 minutes? (right after flashing CM7)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
No
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StevenViper:
If i just want to update the build from 1 to 2 do i have to do a factory reset install cm7, then cm9. Or can i just flash the new build over a preexisting one?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
It is better to do a factory reset in cmw/twrp, but other than that you can flash over the top to update. However that is considered dirty flashing and has the chance to leave things behind that can create issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4127440:
bln(paid) gps(11 satellites) and wireless tethering(on it now) work fine...not sure about wired tether though
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
That means you're on a boot loop. Might have been a bad download, or didn't flash it right. Try going into recovery, doing a factory reset, format the system, mount the system, and flash again. If it boot loops again, then you have to re download the ROM and repeat the steps
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I tried wired tethering and it didn't work for me, but I don't have phone service, only wifi.

Thanks for testing, I'll update the op!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
No problem. What have you done so far? Are you in cm7? Because if you are, it should be blue
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
you can't get into cwm since the kernel you have has the newest cwm which is the blue one, actually newest is in ics but i digress, anyways idk what you're trying to do but that's your answer for that.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
first relax bro

and 2nd if your imei is messed up then that's why you're having those issues so fix it and you'll be good ...if there's an actual issue with the rom report it to their github bug tracker.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lilsk8ernick:
Can I just flash the new cm9 over the old one? Or do I have to wipe everything and then flash??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
You don't need to wipe data....wipe system,cache,and dalvik is what I did and all is fine although you will have to reflash gapps...but everything else will be there
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] imxsteezin:
How do I fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Flash back to stock using heimdall one click. Then flash the one click for antonx's kernel. Before doing anything else make sure you imei is restored. If so follow the directions to get to cm7 once on cm7 verify your imei is still intact. Then you can safely flash to cm9.

Well, What if flash from raver's valhalla hybrid CM7 ROM? can straight flash CM9 into it? will this work?:confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
No, it has to have a certain updater.sh

It's present in CM7, and AOKP.

SO, you can get to CM9 currently, by flashing cm7 R11!!!! first.

AOKP, it doesn't matter what you're flashing from as long as it's build 40-03.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lilsk8ernick:
Thanks but I did just in case. But for some reason my home button isn't working anymore. Did I have a bad flash or is that just in the from now?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
I flashed this straight over from stock gb and had no problems other than having to flash it twice....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Officially, You shouldn't have to wipe, but if you run into problems, wipe and reflash.

Factory reset, then wipe /system.

Also note that some settings are saved on the sdcard and not on /data. If you still have problems, try backing up your sdcard and wipe it too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
No need to flash cm7 now. Just make sure your recovery is 5.0.2.x (where x is 7 or 8).

IOW, flash from bml is now fixed. It will automatically backup and restore your /efs ;)

Enjoy! (and thank fb!)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
It's hard to let go of the responsibility of answering questions correctly.

There are answers here, but some of them are misleading or misinformation.

I'm here to answer questions because I don't want questions asked in my dev thread. And I don't want people to worry about bricking their phones or being afraid to flash roms I make. (Yea, i test the crap out of stuff before I release my stuff. I may not test the features, but I make sure it won't mess your phone up)

This is not to say you shouldn't post in the dev thread. For instance...

You are reporting a problem (In which case, if you are reporting a problem, you should also search the issues on the kernel and device github issue tracker. If you don't see your issue, open a new issue and link it with your post)

You are confirming a problem is fixed. I sometimes forget to update the OP and no one tells me if something I did worked or my phone is hallucinating.

You have something you have developed that should be contributed. We don't always accept everyone's contribution, and you should be prepared to take constructive criticism. Maybe we want what you are contributing, but it has problems.

But posting in the forum just to see your own words is silly. They will be reported to the moderator, who will gleefully remove them. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
You took the red pill! GJ!

The big warning is in my 'instructions' post in my dev thread.

DO NOT FLASH FROM 3.0.2.8(x)! I just kept booting to recovery. It was not fun and took me a while to figure out that it wouldn't work properly. The big problem with it is that version of recovery keeps /system mounted, and 'umount -l /system' and 'umount -f /system' do not work. which makes the updater.sh fail.

:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
All good man. I appreciate what you do. I take me leave. I'm in over my head, I reckon. Peace out everyone. Thanks for making my phone so sweet. Keep it up! I'll check back about once a month and see what ya'll have been working on, but I'm removing my account and will no longer post. Clean up my posts, I'm out. Hope you guys continue working together for the life of this device, and future ones. SGS4G community wouldn't be here if it weren't for you guys.

Lets clear up this color CWM business quickly.

voodoo recovery is red color.

non-voodoo 5.x.x.x recovery is blue.

non-voodoo 3.x.x.x recovery is orange.

I don't remember 4.x :(

Voodoo lagfix is this stupid set of shell scripts that allowed you to convert between rfs and ext4 (on bml roms).

I dislike voodoo lagfix and prefer just forcing bml roms to ext4. This approach also speeds up boot time.

So chant with me: If your recovery is red, your install will be dead! (sometimes)

There is a red 5.0.2.7 in the wild, and I haven't tested it, but it should work.

All blue (5.0.2.7 and 5.0.2.8) recoveries should work fine.

Note, all that I previously spoke of was BML.

Flashing from cm7 will work without a hitch.

Factory reset and wipe /system when coming from cm7. Do the same when upgrading CM9... if you have problems.

Also as I've said before, some apps store their settings on /sdcard.

If you are having problems, try backing up your sdcard and wiping it. Then add back stuff one at a time until it breaks and you'll know what was messed up.

Don't know what bml or mtd is? READ THIS!

hi,

first thanks

do this rom support hebrew and the RTL issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Most thanks should go to jt1134! I am still very appreciative that he is helping us out!

This rom is developed by CyanogenMod. This specific port supports the Galaxy S 4G. We are only concerned with the porting of the rom, although, I'm sure as soon as we get things stable - might have contributions that go upstream back to CyanogenMod.

If you are looking for specific features or language support, please ask on the CyanogenMod Forums or Gerrit.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Indeed. You shouldn't be using this rom for your daily driver.

Use a stable rom if you really need to use this as your phone.

Just because we post the rom for download doesn't mean its going to work as well as the stock rom.

1 post is enough.

Yikes, I am not a developer and even I am getting super annoyed by all these newbs posting about the same problems that have been discussed numerous times.

Read all the posts and chances are someone has already asked about the issues you have. Believe it or not there is even a search feature on these threads.

This is Q&A, but it doesn't mean you can ask the same question over and over again if someone has already posted it.

The title of these roms all say "UNOFFICIAL", some reading comprehension should tell you that not everything works.

If you keep being annoying you are going to start losing these developers.

Sorry for the rant, but I am tired of seeing pages and pages of dumb questions that have been asked 50 times before.

On another note, I do have a question, if you were a developer trying to improve the rom, how long would you scroll through and click next on these pages before you say "Screw it"?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I've been there and left XDA before. A lot of the time if you don't see my response, I'm either too busy or I am purposefully ignoring you. (not sorry to be blunt)

Realistically, I work on this stuff because

I

want whatever I'm working on. I assume that the other developers feel the same when I say that I post my results to this forum because I learned as a kid how to share.

When it becomes hard to share and frustrating to help people, I keep working on stuff, but completely ignore the forum.

Sometimes when you see a developer being frustrated, they just need a break.

Also, I'll be the first to admit that I suck at owning the OP. We debated the night before I opened the OP for CM9 who would run the OP.

With how much it annoys me that people don't read the OP and hence don't respect the developer and his/her wishes on how the users interact with the development thread, I would not be opposed if someone else ran the CM9 thread.
