I gave this a try last night. Wifi and calls worked well enough, but wifi seemed slower. In fact, a lot of things were slower and lag was everywhere. Does having all the stuff installed in /data/gingerbread affect performance compared to having different partitions for /data, /system, /cache, etc.?

I'm back on JPY, but I'm looking forward to trying the full Nexus/AOSP experience soon. Great job so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I think that a lot of people went:

"WOW GINGERBREAD!"

"Okay, back to my normal ROM"

I know I did.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Draco32:
Agreed i am sure CM 7 will be excellent if this is what has come about after this long. Will be watching the development of this carefully.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fullerms:
Yep. Agreed. Thats what I did. Was on Ginger bread for a few hours before I went back to Darky's v7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] parthiba_s:
Great Job guys ...

Great work !!, waiting from V7, so that we don't need to be toggling between JPY and this build ......
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Waza_Be:
mhhhh. I hada huge battery drain.

Just wiped everything on the phone and still catastrophic!

For info, I have no active data connection, no active wifi, no Google account yet, etc..

Everything in power is turned off and no account and no app!

Just a simple calculator with a battery draining 20% a night!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Psychozuna:
Thanks to Supercurio and everyone involved for their outstanding work so far.

Video tutorial for newbies... very very bad idea... Installation steps are quite easy to follow, if you can't do that properly you shall not try to use the ROM

ROM is far too incomplete for now (not complaining I knew what I was getting into) but it's still amazing to have something to play with in such a small amount of time ;)

Problems I experienced:

20% battery drain during night (less than 8 hours) with airplane mode ON (I had 1% with "classic" ROMs)

A random reboot with Wifi ON

It takes ages to have a signal after reboot or switching airplane mode off (ages before 2G signal and then some more before 3G)

I found it a bit laggy (compared to the CM 6.1 I was running) but that could just be me.

Plus the things that was known to not work (no GPS, no adb and stuff) ;)

I'll go back to some classic ROM for the meantime but I'll be happy to test more advanced versions ;)

thanks again

** Removed, wrong thread **
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Waza_Be:
Seem that we have the same issue.

I strongly believe the battery drain depend on the network provider and some networks caracteristics.

Is that possible to "analyse" and send reports about the network stuff to people that are more clever than me and would be able to analyse that?

DON'T FLASH ANY NEXUS S KERNELS ONTO SGS!

The regulator voltage for Nexus S camera is at 2.8 Volt. On SGS only 1.8V are used. There's the possibility that your front facing camera dies!!!

Only kernel sources on our repo (github.com/coolya) are fixed.

Curios repo (https://github.com/galaxys-kernel) is not yet fixed. If you use this kernels, don't enable camera.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xianming90:
thanks.......thougt i dont use it..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dean-O:
I think the OP should be updated to advise people that recovery mode cannot be accessed, especially now that the nsonsgs kernel has a CWM version.

Was fun to try, can confirm data was working for me (Optus-Aus) (double check your APN settings - mine needed a slight tweak before data started working). Very advanced for such a short period of time. Kudos to supercurio and the others working on this. I'm excited for what the future of this project may hold.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] st4rk:
I used this before fix and now even when I switch back to froyo I get phone crashes when switching between front facing and normal camera.. Is this something to do with the problem you mention?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] martan1981:
Well, let me think ........ oh yes, you just lost secondary camera.

Now seriosly, what else do you think could it be? Thats why i am waiting for stable build, free of bugs. This was supposed to be for testers and devs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
If you've ****ed your cam, mine is ****ed too. Think coolya forgot to push his changes. I've done it now.

Maybe SC or a Mod can change the First Post with the download-link to the kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mumps:
Agree this should be added to first post ASAP. Not many people care about 2nd camera (I never even used it in 9 months) but maybe someone does!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] st4rk:
Wasn't talking to you.. No need to get involved..

I am well aware this is pre alpha.. And was testing it..

But I agree people should be careful.

Btw codeworkx.. My front facing cam did work for a sec but crashed after switching to normal camera..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
Any way this can affect one of the SGS with out a FFC? I'm using this with xcaliburinhand's reoriented v5 kernel on my Captivate, and I just want to know if it will become an issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] st4rk:
Haha yer losing front facing cam is defo not the end of the world. :o)

Edit - just tried switching again.. Managed to switch between front and back camera about 6 times before crash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
I wonder if I fu**ed mine by opening the camera once and getting a FC. Will test it later on. Down to seventy five percent battery after eight hours without wifi.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CroSladi:
well i'm on it since 24.12.2010 and for me it's more than a prealpha..maybe i have just a good connection here in switzerland but evetything works (wifi, data, calls and sms) and the battery is better than CM6.1 beta3 which was a catastrophe

/data/ has now been moved to onenand so it is faster and CWM 3.0 is now working with gingerbread :)

From my various twitter feeds.

Yes, but I think going back is only possible with Odin. :)

Thanks Daniel for the update!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
I also wanted to report back to Razer(x) about my battery usage over the day.

Unplugged at 9:30am. Current time is 11:12pm. So roughly 14 hours.

I am down to 65 percent. So 35 percent used in 14 hours.

Wifi was off all the time though. Data was on all the time.

During this time I made several phone calls and wrote a few messages.

Also edited contacts a bit, browsed and posted on XDA and gave the market a quick visit.

Not really extensive usage, but quite happy with 35 percent battery loss.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Thx mate, now i am sure that its only a problem of mine
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
Some serious pushing here, we might expect CM 7.0 release on SGS any day now :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] henke2:
Good speed in this Rom, nice flow in the UI :-)

I tried a compartion useing quadrant advance, unklicking the 3D bit in the custom benchmark menu as 2.3 does't seem to like the 3d bit in quadrant.

this nexus S rom scores 2389, with a great boost in the CPU bit, better then nexus one(!)

the same test ran on Darkys 7.5-tweeked 2.2.1 rom scores 1242 with way lower result on the CPU bit.

again quadrant is not exact sience but might be a rough hint in performance. specially when useing the advanced version showing the diffrent parts of the benchmark individually.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mumps:
Thanks to Google (and of course Cyano, supercurio and many others). But my point is this is NOT thanks to Samsung and his crappy RFS :D

Now that I've said that, could someone explain me why can't we just flash a Nexus S ROM (with Odin for example), if both phones are practically the same? Or they aren't, in the end? For what I've read they're identical apart from microSD, NFC and the curved case, am I wrong?

Sorry if it's been answered, I've looked around the internetz and didn't find anything specific to this.

Cwm3 on gingerbread sgs. Tweet from codeworkx one hour ago:-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rawat:
They're not the same phone. Different wifi/bluetooth/gps chips. Different storage. It's similar, but it's not the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mumps:
Ok many thanks. That clarifies all. For all the press it's getting in the "big" webs it's like it's the very same hardware grr

Is it any better? I've got a friend doubting of getting Nexus S or SGS. I mean apart from the possibly good support/port from CM and other ROMs, just taking in account the hardware part.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JaviLoL:
Just installed this and I can't wait to have a final version.

Everything listed as working is indeed doing so flawlessly, and the phone feels so different, faster, smoother and much better all around.

Great work all of you! I can't even begin to describe the awesomeness of your work. :D

And where can I get it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TotalCrisis:
I'm also considering going down this road, but I have a few questions:

From what I've been reading, progress has been made since the thread's creation, although it hasn't been updated. I also understand that some kernels breaking the front facing camera, which kernels are safe to use (preferably the most up to date one), and what currently is still not working?

Thanks for all the great work, I've been trying to keep up with this thread but a lot of new information is posted each day and it's hard to keep track of everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KCutrer1:
I haven't really been paying much attention to the kernels frying the FFC, because I actually don't own an i9000, but rather a Captivate, which lacks the FFC anyway. Sorry I couldn't help you out with that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TotalCrisis:
No problem, I'd still like to hear your experience :)

I believe someone posted earlier that it was the Nexus S kernel that people were frying that wrecked the FFC, however the kernel from the first page is safe to use and so is the hybrid kernel(??). The kernel from the first page is a few days old though, so I'm not sure if there's anything newer out there perhaps with more working. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] velos:
Could somebody please help me? I'm using a Captivate, and before I flashed Gingerbread, my 3 button combo worked fine, I could get into recovery and download mode. But after I flashed to 2.3, my 3 buttons aren't working, and so far I have been unable to flash back any other rom or kernel because I can't get into download mode. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks

EDIT: After a lot of searching, I used an alternate way of entering download mode

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7849577&postcount=10

Press power + home + volume down
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KCutrer1:
It's because the standard 3 button doesn't work. Here's an alternate combination to the one you're using:

1. Remove battery

2. Open Odin on PC

3. Plug in USB to phone and PC

4. Hold down Volume Up and Volume Down

5. Insert battery while holding down both volume buttons

That has worked perfectly for me, and has kicked into download mode almost instantly
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
Kernel @ first post is not safe. It's built from https://github.com/galaxys-kernel and there are no fixes at camera. supercurio said he'll take a break.

Also CM7 for Nexus S is not safe to use on Galaxy S.

You can choice:

a) use it and kill your cam

b) wait for our release in a few weeks and be sure its ok

Only sourcecode on coolya's repo is fixed (which we - coolya, codeworkx - are using). But we'll not release until it's stable enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TotalCrisis:

Its hard not to notice that latest developments are NOT curio's work. He did an initial port (gingerbread calculator), but CM 7.0 progress is rather coolya's and codeworkx's than curio's.

Dont forget it. Its their work on CM 6.1 taken up to 7.0 - being fixed and expanded everyday. I know he wouldnt take credit for it, but you know, just sayin'.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Psychozuna:
f**k me... I screwed up big time... (OK not that bad I'm just mad at myself)

I was on Nexus S Gingerbread and did a Titanium Backup on my apps...

I went back to Doc's ROM restored my apps... but... every apps I opened in Gingerbread now gives me a fracking FC on Froyo...

If I uninstall then reinstall the apps they run fine but my data is lost... Then if I restore "data only" for those apps they FC me again...

Tried to go back to Gingerbread restore all apps and data they work fine...

Is there a way for me to run on Froyo again without losing the data ?

I know I've been stupid here :'(

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
You mean you took a backup while in Gingerbread? Sorry, but typically going between OS versions brings in incompatibilities.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mumps:
Is that with system or user apps? Becuse going from 2.1 to 2.2 and restoring system apps crashed the whole system (even one would do), but user apps were fine.

Sorry to hear, but somehow thanks for your experience :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Psychozuna:
Yeah I noticed that ;)

I'm talking User Apps here, I'm mainly angry cause I did just completed 3 stars in all level at Angry Birds Seasons while on Gingerbread and I don't want to start it all over again :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sebring5:
I'm running supercurio's v6 and getting OTA updates form Google for my new Nexus S. I'm sitting on go waiting to flash CyanogenMod once I find the time to add Google apps. Can the Google app zip file be converted to a flashable Odin one? Can I do this if I extract the files? The only thing I can't do that I would like to do is use the camera.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mvanvoorden:
Download the Angry Backup app from the Market, the version for Seasons is free! You can save your progress in Gingerbread, flash your rom back and then restore your progress using the same app, did the job for me :)

I was going to comment on that one, but since it would immediately change the thread rating to "R", I thought it would be better not to ;) :p

I have had a couple less severe (but still weird) issues when moving from Eclair to Froyo (stock firmware images, btw), like having the notification pane not sliding down all the way and other such tidbids (including a few FCs).

I actually needed to clear the cache more than once (through recovery mode, and with a reboot between each clearing) so the whole firmware stopped acting up. Maybe that is what's messing up your stuff?

Cheers.

Now, when you say "dies" does that meant untill you flash new kernal? or dies as in to much power blows it out and will never work again?

One of the problems the vibrant is having with the FFC and RFC is a banding issue because of the FFC is always sucking power even if it is not in use... So the theory is if a kernal is created that sends more juice to the camera... it should help the banding issue.

So ive managed to refrain from posting uneccesary nonsense in this thread, until now.

I believe i read that Supercurio's work with porting is done and that Coolya and some others r working on it.

The question is:

1. Is the work currently being done continuing with Vanilla Android or CM7?

2. Where are updates posted (if any) for the progress? (I havent seen another thread as active as this for 2.3)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Should we then expect any updates of this thread's OP? Or should we look elsewhere?

Otherwise, I (and many others) would appreciate some clarification with regards to the work that's currently being done: at some point I thought that the CM team had postponed working on CM, and switched to perfecting Supercurio's Nexus S dump. Is this still the case? If not, who's continuing SC's work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nobugs:
Is supercurio even working on this anymore? I see his twitter updates are somewhat devoid of any GB development :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vitalij:
If I understand correctly, cm team switched from cm 6.1 to porting gingerbread, which later will allow very easy port of cm7. And again if i understand correctly, supercurio have nothing to do with gingerbread porting — what he did is just booting nexus s binaries in an incorrect way with no important phone functions working. Everything that makes sgs usable with gingerbread was done and is beeing done by cm team. So I think it is good idea to support codeworx and coolya by donating for pizzas and beers (l did :) and one day we will be able to switch from cm6 to cm7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jscurtu:
What I understand is that Supercurio is taking a brake on the Gingerbread port, he is looking in to the Android SDK and is learning java for Voodoo Sound..

The whole thing is a Nexus S kernel port to Galaxy S, the devs have more to start with as they had whith the sgs kernel.. Porting this kernel has future.

Codeworkx and Coolya and other's that joined are still working on this, the kernel will be the underground for CM7, AOSP Gingerbread and I guess Galay Tab too.. When thats done, we will have CM7 and Gingerbread on our SGS.. A release for all Galaxy S devices at once..

Codeworkx and Coolya are not releasing anything till its ready, (its hard I know, we are all hungry for gingerbread) there is as far as I know no thread to folow.. Be patients, or get in development , read and learn some things :-) Thats what I am doing ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
I just hope it is really going to be AOSP Gingerbread and not something as themed and tweaked as CM.
