That initramfs you linked on your git is the one from the 10e379d59f3e268d6347 commit which I used. Gah. Thanks man, I don't mean to take up your time with problems that don't relate to the exact phone you're working, and I know there are people much more capable than myself working on it for the Captivate, I'd just like to have something to use in the mean time.

I don't think you understood his post. He had no problems building a reoriented CyanogenMod kernel for the B20101117 release, but for some reason he's getting boot loops when trying to build a kernel with the latest B20101120 changes. It would be great if you could help him out because without him us Captivate users wouldn't be running CyanogenMod at all!

SMS problem appears...

I know I've asked this before, but nobody was able to help. I set up right apn, have data con..

But if I try to send sms, flight mode turns on, and System tells me that it's not able to send because I'm not registered with a network. Then flight mode turns off automatically and the procedure repeats until I manually kill the sms-sending process.

Interesting failure for me, but I'm not able to find out the reason. Does anyone have a clue?

The old kernel still works, we just don't have both SD cards showing up. Tried it again with the latest commits...same thing.

Btw - love what you did with the Twiz launcher.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
Provide a log, ask the cap devs.

Edit: Used my kernel Sources? CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is causing a bootloop. Should be last commit to sources.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gtg465x:
Found a fix for wifi yet? Connects but no internet. I was guessing it wouldn't be hard because it worked in B20101117.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

edit: Hmm... issue is listed in tracker but is this only affecting Captivate users (glitterballs kernel)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] glitterballs:
That was it man, switched that back and no more boot loops. Thanks.

Incoming call - screen wake up lag

I am using the latest ROM (B20101120A). I installed the ROM, rebooted into recovery, did a Wipe data/Factory reset. the phone started without any glitch and is working brilliant. The only issue is that there is a delay in screen waking up when there in an incoming call.

It read in the issue fixed for B20101120 that this has been resolved. Am I doing something wrong?

Please advice/help!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jscurtu:
I was having the same problems, no internet etc.. etc.. only with rom 1120A , i went back to. 1120 no problems... there seems to be a major bug in 1120A..

im using this on the captivate

my speakerphone and camera arn't working (camera says need SD card, dont have external though)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
It's fixed at current sources.

Fix will be included in next release.

No support for captivate. Wait for a captivate version.

Buy a sdcard. ;-)

Ok so I don't have a clue what that is so it would be nice if someone could direct a noob to fixing this

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jezza333:
The file is located under /system/etc/vold.fstab

If you have Root Explorer from the Android Market, editing the file is easy. Otherwise, you'll need to

- use adb, get superuser rights and copy the file to your PC, edit it, and copy it back.

OR

- use a text editor to edit it in-place, or copy it to your internal SD first and copy it back when done.

All you need to edit in the file is the mount path; very easy once you have the file accessible. :)

i hope they will fix battery drain in the next release, its too high
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] deputynl:
Cell standby and phone idle take 25% and 18% battery power after one day, which is a lot considering that I was in good coverage and don't have a lot installed on my phone.

Then again, it is a beta and for me it is already better than the Samsung firmware. I hear that the hissing of the speaker has something to do with it. I am sure that will be fixed if you look at all the other things the devs got working in such a short time.

Battery drain seems ok.

Surfing the internet with the browser seems very slow. My WiFi-Connection often drops or it seems not to be connected while still showing.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
Wifi is fixed.

Lagging Video playback because of codecs.

But first i have to fix all alsa issues and the noise from rear speaker.

After this we'll release a new beta.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dani31:
Any success with the mediarecorder samplerates? Have you managed to change the codec?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] glitterballs:
I was poking around the git, and I noticed the change to mount rfs without check=no. This is going to lead to some of the problems with /system supercurio has described right? Or am I wrong about that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bilboa1:
if you have a regular rfs (from samsung kernel) and everything working, it'll work just fine

if your rfs is corrupted you need to fix it first (see curio's post)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] glitterballs:
Ah, yeah, thanks, I re-read what supercurio wrote. Seems like it might be an issue for people flashing back and forth between CM and some of the ULF based kernels. (I'm not saying this is something CM devs have to fix obviously, just something people flashing back and forth between ROMs might want to keep in mind.)

mor interesting would be how the accurracy of the gps position is. gps is the last showstopper for me, since i need it for work. i am not sattisfied with samsung gps, but at least it shows the position "somewhat" accurate...

Could someone upload the newest kernel for CM, I always build my own builds, but I am unsure how to build the kernel. The newest kernel comes with the pre-builds as far as I know, so it'd be great if someone could upload it :)

Wifi is broken in newest, wpa_supplicant crashes on me, neither portable hotstop nor wifi works. Too f bad, because besides from that there is NO problem whatsoever!

Wait, mobile data doesn't work either. No data connection at all, sad..

There are some changes to git since the last time I synced, will try sync now.

No wait, there is something f-ed about my build env. Hopefully that's the problem

Still broken..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vintiem:
of course. I hope that the fact the beta hasn't been updated for a couple of days will be a sign that the devs are on their way to release it quick.

One question, can't find the answer with search, will Dutch language be available?

Kind regards and keep up the excellent work!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
Some errors are harder to fix than others. This will take some time.

Has nothing to do with a final release. There's still much work.

And if i say "much", i mean very very very very very much.

yarr but im still impressed by the results, it might not have the smoothest launcher animations but theyre very consistent, overall im very impressed in the stock sound aswell even if id like it a bit louder to my own taste the 20A version is a winner imo, cant wait to see the finished result tbh! give it yer best lads!

Codeworx/Aery: You have no idea how much I appreciate your work on getting CM working on the SGS. If I knew more than a handful of words in German, I'd be sending pizza/beer money your way.

Despite the flaws and bugs in these betas, it really feels like my phone is now equal in functionality (as far as I'm concerned) to my old HTC Magic. All the ADB trickery works properly now, and the phone behaves just like an Android phone should.

Thank you, a million times, thank you.

...on a related note, does anybody know how to add languages? I desperately need "English (Australia)" so that the GenieWidget can show me localised news.

All you need to donate is his email address, which is clearly shown once you click the donate button, and a paypal account. Nothing else is required to donate, so if you want to do it do not post silly excuses and just do it. If not, say nothing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arkanius:
That's because of ADW Launcher which is not THAT smooth
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] glitterballs:
+1 to this. For whatever flaws this has, now that we have the headsets working on the Captivates, this is my daily driver. Also, if you use the Chrome/Chromium web browser, it should translate the paypal page, I'm not sure because I remember enough German from high school and college to get by w/o it, but I think it should. If you build it from source you might be able to select an English-Australia language pack. Browse the CM gits to see if there is such a language pack available.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pejmany:
Hi, quick question.

1.Is the latest (cm from 20101120A) with ext4 partitions or rfs?

2. Are there kernels available or do I compile them myself (oc, uv, etc)

3. For an extended power menu with options for rebooting into recovery/odin and other stuff, will I be able to use one already available or have to look into creating one/asking?

4. You guys are awesome for creating this mod. It's pretty badass.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheNikkoMan:
The kernel that comes with 20A is ext4, so you'll have to convert your partitions before flashing it. As cm for I9000 isn't even released yet, the only kernel you'll find is the one you compile yourself or the one that comes with 20A. Also, cm has a built-in extended power menu.

And yes, it's pretty badass :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] idanool:
PC doesn't recognize phone

I'm not sure what I did but my PC does not recognize my phone anymore (as UMS device) when connected using a usb cable. I don't get the mounting message. it only charges it. USB debugging is off.

using 20101120A.

Odin does recognize the phone if connected in download mode.

what do I do wrong ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pejmany:
Oh so the fact that I disabled lagfix before hand wasn't good (as it wasn't ext4?)

And really? I've only got the standard 4 power menu options (silent mode, airplane mode, reboot, and poweroff).

Also, my external SD wont get recognized now and the internal memory isn't counted as an SD card so no downloading swype :(

Try going into CWM and mounting the internal sd?

Sorry, that's the best of my knowledge :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cygnust:
Try reboot, and you'll get other options
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] glitterballs:
If you select reboot, it will ask you if you want to reboot, reboot to recovery, or reboot to download. External is /sdcard, internal is /mnt/emmc if I recall correctly. It's possible to enable swype, but I honestly like they AOSP keyboard more than Swype.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheNikkoMan:
What, you can get swype to work? I tried grabbing the one from JPA, unsuccessful. Also, in newest builds, /mnt/emmc contains nothing. The internal sdcard isn't mounted at all, so you have to go to recovery to access it. Also, wifi doesn't work, and neither does mobile data. Or is it just me? Maybe I'll have to start from scratch..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omiks3:
Just leave usb debugging on you been still access the phone flash drives
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Guitarfreak26:

I don't think so, look at this tweet

Yeah saw that a while ago...he only really contributes where needed, he can get things going and get projects out of ruts, and also if he tweets about a problem the right people can quickly respond. Galaxy S porting was never impossible, it was hard and samsung are ****, so it wasnt going to be a fun task, but I'm sure Cy will contribute if there's problems with 7 etc.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
how is the browser performance in this ROM?

Doing a search i saw two people complaining about it being slow.

My question is, comparing to stock firmware, is it as slow or is it better?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gtg465x:
Roughly the same. I think Google heavily optimized Froyo for Snapdragon processors and the browser optimizations in particular just don't take kindly to our Hummingbird processor. The Eclair browser ran smoother and used much less memory for us. The best we can hope for is that Google optimizes some Gingerbread code for Samsung silicon since the Nexus S seems to be the preffered launch device.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inzane1:
do we have to flash the kernel first or can we use the old one?

If you had the B20101120A then it should be like that:

1. Download the ROM

2. Copy it to your sdcard

If there is a new initial Kernel:

2.1 Reboot into download mode

2.2 Flash Kernel with Odin (without repartition, without pit)

3. Reboot into recovery

4. Do a Nandroid Backup!

5. Choose "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard", choose CyanogenMod and apply it! (Google Apps will be backed up)

6. Reboot

right?

if i want to go back to stock firmware after installing cm, would it be enough to just restore my most recent nandroid backup?
