If this is the case the title of this thread is misleading
[Galaxy S I9000 General] benoitb85:
Of course it is.

pssssst.. be very very quiet: link
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Looks like the team made a good decision! Although I can't wait to piss myself laughing at all the noobs who say " OMFG U BRKE MY PHONE FKIN FIX IT!"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tingen:
Me too...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
On twitter codeworkx said he released it just because some other guy had posted a faulty build without permission, and he wanted to prevent any further problems by releasing something that at least worked safely, despite having lots of bugs.

It's running well for me except /data isn't mounted (just /datadata which is weird)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fueled:
Seems like we are very close.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Crysis21:
it would be awesome to have gingerbread on sgs, before samsung releases it. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] donsasan:
You can. Check developement section ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Madrenergic:
True, but I believe most of us are clamouring for a stable version to be released.

Right now, it's a duel between Samsung and CyanogenMod to be the first to release a stable Gingerbread ROM for the Galaxy S. It'll be interesting to see who wins, of course, but I believe most of us on this thread would still rather use CyanogenMod's, if not at least try it. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] suua:
+1

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheShamsMan:
This just in from DG via Twitter
[Galaxy S I9000 General] peachpuff:
As if dg's opinion matters, dg's stock hit rock bottom imo when he started begging for money on the atrix subforum couple days ago to fund the atrix phone and develop roms for it. Simply unbelievable...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
i hope cyanogenmod7 will come b4 samsung
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MuayThaiFighter8:
Will definitly flash if everything's stable..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
wht you cant wright your own drivers ??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Madrenergic:
They can, and that's what they're trying to do now, but it takes way more effort than if Samsung provided the driver source code. Writing drivers from scratch is like groping around in the dark for a light switch. It's tiring, time-consuming and incredibly painful. If it was easy, we would have had open source alternatives for all our graphics card drivers already, but we don't.

So, until Samsung releases the source code to their Gingerbread drivers, we'll be stuck here waiting.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
then we have to wait for samsung to release gingerbread and source code
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
And yet.. That has little to do with CyanogenMod
[Galaxy S I9000 General] egisz:
If you wish to try nighly "beta build" you can try this : forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15275-gt-i9000-cyanogenmod-7-we-love-bugs-version-20110207/

I am using this for 1 day and it is running quite good (keeping in mind that some stuff is still not working).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DoktorZero:
Hopefully not
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kobik77:
Hey guys,

Is CM7 Gingerbread port will be a breakthrough which will ease the porting the next Android versions?

And is Gingerbread so different from 2.2.1 that drivers won't work?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zurchpet:
Yes and

Yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kobik77:
Nice!

Thanks for making me more optimistic about my sgs lifespan.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eric_pwb:
Hey I just flashed the cm7 02/17 nightly with JL2 modem, and It pretty awesome!

Does anyone know how to check to see what frequency/band the phone is operating on?

I want to know if the phone is still able to use the 850 band or it gets lost with cm7
[Galaxy S I9000 General] njanfeza:
Damn i really hope that they are gonna keep working on this! Any news?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sciacallo010:
Look in developer section
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Looks like they are really getting there now. We should have a stable and working version within a month or two.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] berndEEEE:
Sorry. Deleted Post.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
i cant wait for this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mariotme:
Damn been checking some vids on youtube and all i can say is WoW!!

cant wait for the release =D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheShamsMan:
Hopefully it won't be anything like the CM7 RC for the Desire. Pretty terrible.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mingo3k:
Haven't had the time to look over all 31 pages (at work and all) but has anyone found the Easter Egg?

(I've spotted this on the 2202 rom, but i hadn't tried the 2002 version)

1- Go to Settings

2- About phone

3- Tap madly on the Mod version (generally 3 taps in a row works)

4- ?

5- Profit!

Abeit this is the same method for the Gingerbread Easter egg also.

Same screens, but tap widly on the Android version instead.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tusnal:
Any updates?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mehulved:
Tapping on the "Android Version" does work.

In fact both work and give different images.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dena994:
I hope we will see this rom on our SGS....and i have opened this thread to show to the developers that there are lots of people that are waitig for this ROM for their phone!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Metusion:
can someone explain to me what this Rom does different from the 100s of other Roms out there?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xero2002:
CM7 or AOSP 2.3 is THE most awaited thing ever for the SGS.

I don't think anyone wants to miss out on that.

And that's also why they went a bit away from XDA.

The other thread was getting almost hostile for them. lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dena994:
It is based on androd 2.3.1 for now..and that it is VERY FAST, VERY OPTIMISED and there is no samsung touch wiz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xero2002:
To explain it in a really really simple way.

It's an AOSP based ROM. Based on pure Google source code.

No Samsung crap involved in any way. (Not drivers)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unrealwolf:
This thread is approved by developers, or something? Because otherwise it's useless, it ain't no news that CM7 is coming, the question is when. Also, codeworkx (if i am not mistaking) wrote that whey won't release CM7 until all things but FM radio and TV Out are working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TubeShaped:
Please, let it happen!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chupchip:
If I plan to ditch SGS for an htc, am I stupid?

Not to piss the devs off but I'm almost frustrated.

This project seems to come closer but sometimes it's so far away.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phalanger:
lol just go for it. If your phone doesnt make you happy, please do get another one instead of complaining about it.

Personally Im still very satisfied with the SGS, the only phone out right now that I would even consider trading it in for is the Nexus S, and thats a close call :)

On topic: i really hope they get the camera working in CM!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xero2002:
Wouldn't ditch it now.

Still has a promising future.

If you want to get rid of it, then wait for dual core phones and Android 2.4/3.0.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ale0crysis:
it will be based on 2.3.2 , 2.3.1 is just old now :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chupchip:
Alright, seems better late than never.

I do know the fact that it's done when it's done.

More patience now, thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xero2002:
It's not like they are behind any schedule.

CM7 is not out yet for any device.

Alphas not considered.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rumble6059:
oh :-) i am excited?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stefanauss:
I'd like to ask some questions that would help me grasp some facts. I'm sorry if it was already been asked, but it's ridicously hard to find such insights into CM threads here on XDA...

Is there any difference into the porting process of CyanogenMod between doing it on SGS and, back in the past, on the other (Not-Google) phones it is currently working, like HTC Desire, Hero (and many more apparently, it seems almost like it is a ROM for just HTCs...) and Morotorola Droid for instance?

Specifically: have the other manufacturers released some kind of source code that has made the porting process easier, that Samsung hasn't released instead? Or it could be that there are no/very few closed source bits into other manifacturers Android frameworks and therefore there was nothing particularly hard to replace?

Also: it's not a driver problem, right? That would be a kernel issue, and the complete sources we already have, right?

Hope someone could answer. Thanks =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Metusion:
I kinda like the touchwiz interface, especially in the app drawer. I like the icon backgrounds and no other launcher seems to have this option.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] corgar:
2.3.2 is old too.

2.4 is out
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chupchip:
That will never happen in CM7 based roms. If you really like it, wait to see MIUI roms. Don't know if someone can port it in the future.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] au_stevo:
I'd use it now as long as they got the camera working, the other unfinished **** doesn't really bother me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xero2002:
That is simply not true.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chubewallace:
the dreams comes true!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Steyux:
ADW launcher ex :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
That "samsung crap" is responsible for the usable browser(as in nonlagging) and hardware accelerated avi/mkv playback. The browser especially is a ton better on the SGS than it is on the nexus s.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] no1msd:
These are the same problems they had a few weeks ago. And they won't be able to fix them unless Samsung releases some driver source codes, and I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. And time is short: one year from now the SGS will be 1.5 years old, and power users will start to ditch it for a better phone, so CM devs will lose interest.

I would be very happy if we had an AOSP Gingerbread ROM on our SGS, but I think we are pretty much stuck with Samsung's crap.

Please HTC, make better phones than Samsung next time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tsimpoyris:
You Can check out ADWlauncher EX. It has many of TW features, like the fancy icon backgrounds and a vertical drawer etc etc. It's really cool! Totaly deserves it's price.It's very very fast also...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hensk:
after a 2-3 attempts,I`m really sceptic that we will see CM7 on our SGS

Correct me if I'm wrong

I dont know why dev(especialy RA,Cyan,Kondric..) are so sticked to HTC
[Galaxy S I9000 General] flash2999:
ARF ! :oD
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jodelaplaya:
can't wait !! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Flynny75:
Doesnt HTC release ALL their code? Thats what makes making CM for HTCs a lot easier than for the SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pcboyy:
Thread opened without a ROM? This thread is nothing than giving hope and anticipation to SGS users. When the release is not on time, users start complaining and CM7 devs hate xda users (once again)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] benyamin22:
they leave it like other projects CM6 nexus port etc

but i wonder why this site just focused only on htc device are they supporting by htc? porting wp7 only on htc ...... meego ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coldflid:
I just hope it comes out soon
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sourcewop:
I hope they do not loose interest until they completely fix cm7. cant wait :)

Wow, amazing work, guys.

Can't wait to test this. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Nice to see the progress you guys are making, been following the progress of the group since the start of this project. Hopefully the remaining things that still need to be sorted aren't too difficult to fix. Eagerly anticipating release. Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keltonfan:
Yes me2 :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
Is this the browser since 2.2.1? I really dislike it, websites frequently jump around while scrolling and it's limited to 4 tabs. Much preferred the browser in 2.2. I'd like to use the old Browser.apk, but I suppose I'd need a deodexed ROM to even try.

I hope they do get it 100% working, yes! All that work you mention on the HD2 shows just what's possible.

This was formerly an HTC site, though (XDA = O2 XDA, a series of rebranded HTC devices), and developers around here have a lot more experience working with HTC devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phalanger:
Non-lagging browser? on SGS? LOL!?

Maybe try a Desire or iPhone if you hadnt yet noticed how shamefully bad the SGS browser is.. Or Opera.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaju123:
I was running the test build yesterday, was superfast but the build was a bit outdated :)

Also had some issues (hopefully resolved). But it will surely make the phone far better :) Seriously worth seeing :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XPLANE9:
Actually the 2.2.1 browser uses gpu acceleration, just like the iphone. So very smooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
I know this is probably a bit off topic or irrelevant but would you be able to provide compiling instructions for more advanced users to test before public release? I managed to compile 6.1 and get it working without any problems but I'm currently not to sure on how to go about of with CM7, thanks guys and sorry to bother you :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlessandroIT:
Advanced user can test the current build without any tutorial cause advanced user can read the code on github and understand what the rom needs to boot.

Advanced user will never asks for a tutorial, noob does.

I'm not a pro user but i managed to get it running on my sgs..but it's still alpha..wait the right time man (i think that they're going to release something to the public soon since the releasetool got lots of changes recently).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Okay thanks, I'm not a noob I'm just starting out getting used to compiling, pulling sources etc. I've always been a windows user and are getting the in's and out's of using Ubuntu. I knew I shouldn't have asked, sorry for the bother.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Can't wait for that! But Samsung have greatly improved the firmwares of SGS too. the first ones got a lot of bugs, slowdowns and only a Quadrant Score of 800. Now the JS3 works without any lagfixes great, the GPS is amazing fast and got a Score of 1250.

How dare you, You can't imagine the huge work required to free that phone from Samsung's code...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
What? Something must be wrong with your phone then as the browsers on my friend's Desire and Nexus One is absolutely horrible compared to my SGS. The iPhone is buttery smooth I'll give you that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xero2002:
Perfect example of why they don't like to hang around here anymore.

Thank you. You have once again proven the post quality of XDA lately.

Tempting, but this may shine a bad light on them.

Even though it says "unofficial". Can't wait for the first cry babies to show up blaming it on the devs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] flip360:
itching here to try it even though is early alpha :)

and no i wouldnt complain to the devs afterwards :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cchant:
This build wasn't put out by the devs though I'm sure it wouldn't matter
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Krayzel:
Can't wait for this CM7! :)

What the...? SGS browser is good, xScope is great. But Opera browser is, mobile or mini, is really bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cchant:
They pulled it from the site. Apparently wasn't supposed to be posted.

Mods please close.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tanoxxx:
Im so sorry, but i I have not offended anyone..

Is a free world everyone can express your opinion/thought, obviously without offending anyone, and i I have not offended anyone...

Maybe you do not understand correctly my post..

Im very sad for that..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dena994:
Who pulled what? There are problems with this thread?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cchant:
Someone leaked a pre release build on the CyanogenMOD forums and they pulled it from the site
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ogzon:
I really hope that we can expect something concrete soon.. All my friends with HTC Desire enjoy in "Gingerbread" for some time (ROM's, CM7..)..

Only if camera would work..Everything else is more-less "irelevant"..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dena994:
Understan...and it isn't a nice thing..now this person have deleted the link or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cchant:
Yes the links have been removed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MikeyMike01:
I think it's an i9000 thing. Don't have such whiny babies in the Captivate forum. Maybe larger volume = more idiots.

I dunno. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phalanger:
Nothing wrong with my phone :) 1700 quadrant and very smooth at just about everythng. Just stock browser sucks. Always has. Im sure cyanogen would fix that, not make it worse.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] touness69:
Then u must have tried it only couple of seconds because even with fairly heavy webpages and all flash plugin activated it is really outstanding how it managed to keep butter smoothness for me, even compared to any of the best android phones ou there.

Nexus s is AOSP and its browser is lamy laggy so don't expect CM7's one to perform any better than samsung's currently hardware accelerated one... maybe samsung's gingerbread release will outclass it

Made a vid a couple of days ago if you're still skeptical, compared to the Desire HD (so better than the Desire) :

[youtube]98yf5aBuniE[/youtube]

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phalanger:
also fine :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkanius:
Are you thick?

Everyone made that question on the 2.2 roms

Ever since 2.2.1 came out with the hardware accelerated browser everyone PRAISES IT, because it's BETTER than Google's offering. Cyanogenmod won't make magic because it's based on the AOSP browser which right now is INFERIOR
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
Exactly. Unfortunately the proportion of useless but loud people on the internet is increasing rapidly.

*sigh*. Quadrant doesn't accurately reflect performance. How did you test performance. Let me guess, Sunspider or an online benchmark?

Anyway this thread really should be closed. We shouldn't be encouraging people to use pre-alpha quality ROM's, and without the link, it implies that CM7 is due soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pacoforet:
From Coolya's twitter:

Fixes to compass.

So one less issue for the RC :D

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dena994:
Great news!!!;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] suua:
Great :) camt wayt to try it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Guiper:
Well, I don't agree so much with opening these topics, since it should be developers decision but I can understand people being anxious for it, and wanting to comment.

I am using CM7 for around 1 month and somehow cooperating with the developers.

From my experience, and even without all the problem, no sensors until recently, no camera, small problems with OpenGL, etc, there is not way I could go back to a Samsung rom, it's a completely different experience.

Believe me that your wait will worth it, developers are already releasing some internal test versions, it may be a matter of time, until a public release.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] suntzu123:
Don't get me wrong... CM7 is great, but for most users the most important thing is battery time, user interface, stability. Battery time is one big issue of SGS... and CM made it even worst. Best screen+best bettery=averge battery time that can't be better than iP4.

If you said we made it work 20% longer than JS3. That would be great. For now we got hardcore kernel wich is great but no OC/UV, we got also SO kernel, but here we have to make UV to get same time like hardcore one.

Even if it will work with out big bugs, it still have to got good performance and good battery time.... For now only one big performance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Totally can't agree more. Managed to compile CM7 this morning and my phone has been running great all day. Never going back to a Samsung ROM. Only thing that I hope get fixed soon are the camera and the polling problem in IRL. Once this is sorted I'll be even happier than I am now. Also battery life is very good. Lets see what happens when it reaches RC status. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
Actually, I disagree.. The most important things are probably:

Hardware compatibility and stability.. Battery life which lasts 10hours might be enough for many people (provided it's above a good enough threshold). Stability is important for obvious reasons.

Overclocking/undervolting is unimportant I'd say. If it were supported would be ok, but I don't think it should be configurable out of the box because there is already at least 1 person who thinks doing so b0rked their phone.

User interface isn't really important at all, because Android is malleable, and first few releases are probably targeted at geeks, not your grandma. As long as there is one which is sufficient, people can always use launcherpro at the beginning.

In summary though, the most important thing is that the ROM performs at least to the same standard as the Samsung ROM (approximately). Because if people have to compromise features without gaining any true advantages, then it's mainly to play with..

But that will come over time. But that being said, people who aren't on the official developer team should probably stop making announcements on behalf of them..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Razer(x):
Is it going better than CM6?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Korshar:
How's the batterylife compared to the usual custom roms? 105%? 120%? Just your feeling.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Way better, everything is so smooth now. Only a few bugs and things need sorted out. I'm pretty sure we'll see RC status soon.

Great, theres no super bad battery drain like in CM6 or constant noise coming from the speaker.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Moosehunter:
So how did you get the system.img onto your phone? I tried doing a nandroid restore, and it didn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Push through ADB. Apparently nandroid doesn't work due to different flash layouts as said bye coolya.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Razer(x):
You're making me jealous, guess i gotta install VirtualBox again :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HBS27:
Is it possible to use it as daily driver? Could you provide some installation instructions, would love to try it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Moosehunter:
So how are you supposed to do that with ADB and not Fastboot?

Edit: Just copied the /out/target/product/captivate/system folder to /system on the device, and it boots (Yay for 2.3.2 on Captivate.)
