[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Liquidator:
Alright, guys - first of all, nice work to all the people involved. I had a brief Gingerbread experience and I'm quite happy with how it went. Even made a short test call and all went well, no crashes or anything (there even was a Nexus S upgrade ready to be installed). Thanks for the experience :D

Now let's hope Samsung hurries with that official 2.3 version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] snottyotter:
Been using this since xmas eve, dispite the known bugs it's pretty damn usable, I've got voice and 3g no problems (ain't sure about HSPDA due to crap signal at the inlaws place) wifi reboot bug is present, few laggy bits but nothing unbearable, and mostly snappy, battery seems a bit worse than before but not especially and could just be because I'm pissing about with it. Overall almost usable day to day.

Was on doc's v5.1 jpx base, can't remember modem etc. and sgs toold codes ain't working to tell me. Very impressed, thanks muchly to supercurio and friends.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
To the guys saying to turn off wifi to stop the reboots, it doesn't work. On a fresh install with wifi not even touched, I was still getting reboots whenever I turned off the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Would it be possible to get a dump of CM7 for NS and using the same Kernel to run it on our phones?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] allotrios:
and you could have it since august
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
Just for a test, I left the phone running 10hrs overnight. lost 12% battery (40% to 28%). Data was on (only 2g, reception average/low), google account auto sync on, recieved 1 text message.

Not the best, but fairly acceptable :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MikeyMike01:
...2012. Seriously, if you think samsung gives a rats ass about us you're in la-la land.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bozdag:
Probably. Once this port is perfected it'll be easier to get CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
so smooth... so nice

I've had a very very stable experience with it - no wifi reboots, no radio issues ... nothing - well except Battery drain - I tried copying the older JPA firmware to /vendor/firmware - but that doesn't seem to help as it did with JPY. Nevertheless - it gets close to 1 day on full charge with minimal use. Maybe power management features are yet to be tweaked - but this is very very usable for me as it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NoobProof:
cant anybody help me on this? seriously?

i did everything-changed like 5 modems or so and cant receive signal.

please help me!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Nope, i simply don't care. I will never use a samsung rom anymore

Btw, i lost 27% of battery in 7 hours and in sleep mode, there must be something wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Just finished booting CM7 on my Captivate... will give it a try for a few days and see how it compares....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cnn888:
great work... truly great... even i can't get my wifi to connect, i want gingerbread for my sgs now... hahahahaha....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] votum:
Yeah that's been an issue with all beta CMs I've used.

I imagine the reason is power tweaks are LOW priority until the guts are fully working, but don't quote me on that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Waza_Be:
In my mind, there are different network behaviour.

I think they optimized the ROM for their network as they cannot logically test on every country in the world :p

In Belgium, every CM was a desease for my battery (and I tested HTC Sense, Touchwizz a few month without any battery issue)

So, I strongly believe their changes in CM are good for a large amount of networks but a pity for some others.

That's what I think, but do not take that as an universal truth, that's just my 2 cents opinion...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaju123:
I don't know why anyone is complaining about battery drain considering no optimizations have been made yet for this device so it is not speedy or power efficient.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fullerms:
Strange. Even I updated from DArky's V7, and No Network, No Wifi and No SD CARDS, and No Recovery :confused:

Can someone point me to the collection of Modem files which some kind soul had posted on XDA? Want to try a few modems before giving up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ale0crysis:
6 hours on stand by, no AERO mode just 2G , DC 800 Mhz = 0% battery drain

when i touched my sgs it was really cold

PURE AWESOME ;)

Little problem

Hi. I'm coming from Darky's 7 JPY and followed very closely the tutorial, flashed the kernel and when it should boot, it's just stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S screen. Anyone has any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CroSladi:
read the other posts..there are several people coming from Docs Rom or Darkyys Rom..your question has for sure been answered ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Well, that's strange, dunno why it's draining so much battery to me. Is there any app to see what process is draining so much battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FirefoxRuels:
thanks, but I'd rather wait for someone to help me than read 111 pages looking for the answer :c
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mat02:
I'm using it since christmas eve and so far so good :) I've wifi set to always on (it's on even if I turn off the screen) and I didn't notice any reboot or freeze. Sometimes it lags little, but it's ok for alpha. BTW I miss camera/camcorder, I hope it will be fixed soon x)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dezz:
try pages 100-101 (that area)

Had the same problem. Flashed and re-flashed around 15-20 times.

Gave up until there is CWM instalation
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ale0crysis:
There are some : Android System Info or Advanced Task Manager:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TAMIM2007:

You write in your signature "dualboot".

What do you mean with this ?

Just flash the 2 kernels with odin ? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TelloBJK:
no..

there is an app which can flash sgs kernels..

when i want to use gingerbread i flash it and when i want to use froyo i flash the froyo kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Does it works on gingerbread too? I heard it doesn't. Link?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
I test it and it doesn't work :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
CM7 alpha for Nexus S is available :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
...already running on my Captivate :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] touness69:
What ???

And how do you do that ? just folow the nexus installation guide ?

a link plizz ! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
*Download CM7.zip from the thread

*Unzip & extract system folder

*create .tar.gz from system folder

*follow directions at the beginning of the thread and use the CM7.tar.gz instead of the dump posted

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889500

Remember: CM7 has no GAPPS pre-isntalled and you won't be able to access Recovery from Gingerbread on an SGS phone. So you will need to come up with a creative way to get GAPPS on there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
How do I create a .tar.gz file ofe the system folder ?

Just rename it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] touness69:
ok... no GAPPS, annoying compilation process = out of interest

but thanks anyway ! will wait for B7 !

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
no GAPPS are preinstalled in any CM rom... whatever, nvm
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenoo:
sry for this silly question, but where is the difference between this Gingerbread and CyanogenMod for Nexus S if you can use it with Galaxy S, too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
We could technically run any NS rom at this point due to the fact that these awesome devs are building a Kernel that will allow the NS roms to run on our phones... That's kinda what this whole thread is about. LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Is it possible to have any feedback? Would really appreciate it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Will have more feedback on CM7 this evening when I go back to it... running GBa right now because I needed something that I knew was reliable for my work day. After 5pm; it's on! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] touness69:
Lol I know CyanogenMod bro I am not that noobish... just that I'm not motivated to compile it atm XD

And btw we could easily add GAPPS with previous CM versions since they have CWM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rawat:
The newer ROMs are likely to break things though... Maybe that can be ironed out. For example, /system dump of 2.3.1 OTA breaks wifi for me. Changing to the old something.ko file from /system/modules allows wifi to be switched on, but it doesn't connect to the router.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sargarass:
supercurio, will you try to add support Micro SD card?

Sorry for my bad English xD
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
3/ unzip the attached nsonsgs.tar.zip to nsonsgs.tar

the kernel is already as nsongsgs.tar? nothing to unzip?

is busybox required
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Omegavirus:
waaaaaah. read the damn first post people, please :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] touness69:
Yes and yes
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
what do u mean yes and yes?

if the file is already as tar and not zip there is nothing to unzip?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Mosd, it's EVERYTHING in the first page, if you can't read you won't get this working
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
You don't need to unzip the nsongsgs.tar file !!

This is the kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
3/ unzip the attached nsonsgs.tar.zip to nsonsgs.tar

it says that i have to unzip so the file will be nsonsgs.tar but the attatched file is already that name nsonsgs.tar ?! so what is there to unzip?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] techmik67:
If you pay attention, the file you are asking about is nsonsgs.

tar.zip

Notice that it's a .tar.zip....... that means the TAR is INSIDE the ZIP.

"nsonsgs.tar.zip" > unzipped becomes: "nsonsgs.tar"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
how come the guy few posts above u said there is nothing to unzip? and its very strange cuz when i download the kernel there is no zip file so i think ur the one to pay attention.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
why im asking about the zip file ? hmmmmmm maybe cause supercurio says that u have to unzip the attached zip file. but there is no zip file? thats why im asking about the zip file? I didnt typed any jerky to u it was to the other guy who played smart and cool.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
just read the instructions...

you download the zip file and run the command.

busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/system-dump-as-root.tar.gz

it'll turn that dump into a flashable tar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lupu1:
I think is a good idea if you will add and a video tutorial for newbies to show how to put 2.3 on galaxy s :) .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mumps:
Does Clockwork Recovery recover (heh) backups from CM7 installed on Galaxy S? Or to go back I need to flash over any 2.2 ROM then install CWM then recover?

Just asking because today I only have like 2 hours to play with this, but I'm eager to try Gingerbread :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Waza_Be:
I think is a good idea if newbie could wait for a stable release.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
It's hard to understand that NOW THIS RELEASE IS NOT FOR NOOBS ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
Thanks for answer but The thing is that there is no tar.gz file just a tar that means that i dont need to unzip ? So no need in The installation guide to say that u need to unzip?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
mosd re-read my post. editted it.

...or simply:

just read the instructions...

you download the zip file and run the command.

busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/system-dump-as-root.tar.gz

it'll turn that dump into a flashable tar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
Thanks again: ) so its the dump and not the kernel that needs to be unziped?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
no no. you don't unzip anything until step3 lol. you read the instructions again closely...

STEP 1. basically what it says is to, download the /system dump

STEP 2. then you run a series of adb commands to convert it into a tar.

gz(ZIP FILE)

file.

STEP 3. then you unzip that converted tar.gz file (inside should be a tar)

STEP 4. then you flash it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Waza_Be:
Just installed the ROM in a few seconds...

I don't understand why people are asking for help or video tutorials!

Supercurio and & coolya ( and of course all other people) you are just legen.. wait for it...dary!

That's the first time I love my Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mumps:
Any way to get adb working back? it says "error: device not found". I was going to delete the /data/gingerbread folder and try the supercurio dump, as I got no wifi with the CM7 one.

Also, to answer myself, at least with CM7: NO, there is no recovery so ROM Manager restoring backups doesn't work.

I guess I'll flash Doc's and restore from there and retry the whole process.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Anyone experiencing strange battery % changes?

I started the system after 2 days of Froyo use, and it still says the battery is at 59% (impossible)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Just use ODIN to reflash your previous Kernel...

...that will put you right back on the 2.2 ROM exactly where you left of.

From there, run Root Explorer and delete the gingerbread folder from /data.

At that point, it's like you never did anything in this thread and you are starting right where you left... no need to wipe and reflash ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mumps:
Just seconds late here hehehe, but never mind not your fault at all, and I have a nice Backup. Good to know that, thanks!!!

I was on Doc's ROM that's a zip you have to flash from recovery, just flashing JPY kernel would work too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jscurtu:
Very Bad idea! :-) this is not ready for the masses.

this thread is blown anough.

If you dont understand the howto, then dont try ... wait and read, have a beer (or a soda if underage) and watch the ROM grow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jscurtu:
No u need a kernel with ext4 support use jpy from voodoo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
thanks you man!! just one last question. under the V6 version there is a kernel that you can download. is that the file to download in step 4 ?

i flashed my telephone like 10-20 times and fixed 3 combo without any brick and without reading that close cuz it was logic how u should do it but this one was really hard. I did cyanogenmod without any problem.

once again thanks and your patience is awsome :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
Has anyone had any luck importing contacts from a vcf file?

It imports them but no contacts show in the list.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Yeah it worked for me, you have to select which categories you want to be displayed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
Sweet! Thanks mate. :)

I've set Wifi sleep policy to never and I think I'm actually gonna leave the house with Gingerbread tomorrow.

Oh the adventure...

Too bad all work colleagues are iPhone lamers. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
What about your battery life? I'm not complaining, but i've found that i am the only one with HUGE battery drain while on Gingerbread
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
No experience so far.

Only had it to play around a bit and then flashed back to default kernel.

I will let you know tomorrow after using it from 8am to 8pm.

Wifi always on won't help, but I'm hoping it'll make it through the day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Thanks, appreciate it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
By the way I wonder if this kernel could be combined with a 2.3.1 (GRH78) system dump at some point? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
CM7 is based on 2.3.1 and it's boots with this Kernel on my phone... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Did you manage to get gapps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Still at work... promise to work on it this evening though! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
What about copying them manually to /system/app? Already tried?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] inneyeseakay:
That's one of the methods I am going to try... I don't have access to ODIN (or anything really) at work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] touness69:
@inneyeseakay , Can you share your CM7_alpha2.tar.gz ? really don't have the motivation ^^

EDIT: and is it any smoother than supercurio's one ? coz I have some slow down in paning from screen to screen with the launcher when I choose a fix wallpaper :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
essentially, you're right but you're wrong about what the commands do.

The system dump is already a tar.gz file, the busybox tar zxvf command unpacks it. The zxvf keeps permissions intact, among other things. unpacked, it becomes your new root.

Then, you flash the gingerbread kernel, modded by sc to point to /data/gingerbread as the new root. The gingerbread kernel is the part that gets new versions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
Boot back into your other rom, and push them to /data/gingerbread/system/app
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenoo:
are wifi and gps etc working with CM or is it like the first demos of SC and have to be configured?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TotalCrisis:
I'm curious as well. There hasn't been any update in the thread or github in 4 days, I'm a bit worried. CM is looking good though, and it seems people are able to boot the latest versions of the Nexus S CM7 through SC's kernel. I might be wrong, but I don't see a lot of what isn't working getting fixed until kernel development starts up again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arkanius:
It's called family, and christmas

Developers have the right to take a rest as well
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TotalCrisis:
Hey, don't worry. I understand completely. I wasn't complaining - just speculating. I suppose I'm anxious just like everyone else, gingerbread looks really exciting. Sorry to any of the developers who may have read my post out of context, keep up the good work and thanks for all the great work you've done so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
when i donwload the dump file its just tar not tar.gz!?

edit: my bad sorry!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yo_alex823:
I have ''update-cm-7.0.0-Alpha2-NS-signed.zip'' from CM forums Nexus S section.

just flash it with recovery after flashing SC kernel?:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
Is it "system-dump-as-root" or "nsonsgs"? if it's nsonsgs, then it's supposed to be just a tar. If it's the actual system dump, it should be tar.gz, though I don't think it will make a difference.

Edit: I just checked, the system dump is a tar.gz file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/system-dump-as-root.tar.gz

when i do this commando at platform-tools in sdk it says it cant find the files. if i take away the .gz in the end it finds the file and start to load alot of apps? is this right or wrong ?
