first of all clean the 1st post on your topic since IT'S VERY FULL and not very clear. One of reason why I did not install your kernel it's because I've not understand which features are included and which file is the right one for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
No error messages ?

Sometimes it takes longer than others, actually it takes longer after flashing a kernel than after flashing an update...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
now tried another rom with odin install, repartition, etc then from there CWM and the whole CM7 install process from the beginning, still the same. Everything is fine with initials (kernel and rom) but after the update package, the phone hangs, and I can't even enter recovery until I reflash the initial kernel in Odin :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
maybe bad blocks on boot partition which makes the kernel useless.

you can extract the zImage from the last update package, tar it and flash with odin. odin takes care about bad blocks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
why do ytou install nthe update package. just install the inital package which has the same name then the update except it is called the initial.

in fact every update package contains also the kernel.

but i am absolutely not sure what you are doing.

first of all the kernel is using a new file system YAFFS2.

second did you save the efs before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
Someone already mentioned the zImage tar process, but I don't know what that is, or how it could be done :/

Let me clarify then: I backed up EFS, flashed the initial kernel via Odin -> recovery -> format everything (data, system, datadata, cache) ->flash initial CM7 ->reboot. -> phone boots up just fine, got cellular but no wifi -> downloaded 0311 NIGHTLY, put to Sdcard -> reboot to recovery (3button) -> flash Nightly update -> reboot -> phone hangs -> battery out -> enter download mode ->reflash initial kernel -> phone boots up again ->still no wifi.

Hi gentle people. What keyboards are you using? Anyone using Gingerbread keyboard? Please post a link where i can get it. Cheers

How can I login to google account in latest cm7 ? It only allows to create exchange account access.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Manadar:
Android keyboard is the Gingerbread one as you're on a 2.3.3 Rom :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it's not so full anymore

take a look at it now

if the explanation of cumulative fashion & additional features

isn't enough to explain what dated kernel has what features

it is perhaps too complicated for you :p

ask me or others (when I'm busy) I'm sure you'll figure it out :)

did you also clear the dalvik cache, nbecause sometimes it happens that things don't come clear until you have done this.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexx910:
Well, here's my feedback for this firmware:

It's a fast and good firmware with wonderful and smooth system run.

But I personally like the touchwiz and some of the samsung apps more than the standart google apps and the adw launcher. But hey, its my opinion :)

But its a pity that the sd card feature isnt inside :( cant use my 8gb micro sd :/

So I decided to return to official firmware till the CM7 is more complete

and one more question:

Can I add the samsung apps afterwards??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Szighy:
after installing CM7 it says, that the SD card is unmounted....i'm sure this was answered a few times but can't find it now :P i can't access the galery, camera...

if i go into settings, storage, it displays correctly (at internal storage: /mnt/sdcard)

if i go to CWM, it says no misc partition....any advice?

hm...mobile network not available aswell, i think i'm gonna reflash everything....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
no you can't because they need the samsung framework, at least for the most of them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kinose:
Oooh thanks mate

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] digitalcoder:
You are supposed to do a full wipe after installing initial. You missed this step.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dr.bahaeddin:
My phone isn't booting after a update.

Unpack the update.zip and tar the zImage. After this flash the tar as pda using odin.

i have this problem. when i try to flash the tar file that i made from last updates zImage, it stucks in odin at zImage stage.

when i try to flash with initial kernel phone boots up normally but i don't have wifi.

it allways gives me this error when i update.

maybe i do wrong while taring the zImage file. could someone guide me how to do tar the zImage file or just tar the file and upload it for me please. im really pissed of about this error.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tedgy:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] br4d:
This ROM owns... It's experimental, but better than most Samsung ROMs (expect of camera, but I don't really use smartphones to make photos so it's not important for ME). Congratulations CMteam and thank you for all your hard work!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Warrior4Jah:
SD card is mounted as "emmc", this will probably change soon as Codeworkx is working on a fix to properly mount the optional sdcard as external sdcard!

While most of the Samsung apps are actually pretty nice (good usability) they only work with the Samsung framework.

Thats why you can't even use them when switching launchers; let alone change the android os to a non Samsung version without the supporting framework.

The added speed is worth the trade off for the loss of Samsung apps; personally I find the launcher pro widgets nice :). I would like to get a clone of the Samsung dailer though.

In short; if you are waiting for cm7 to include the Samsung apps you should pass this rom because it can't be ported and would never make it into the mainline.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] herly:
I have the problem like the above.

The problem is after flash update or other kernel.

I have tried with fresh 2.1 and 2.2 with repartition.

Only bootup after initial kernel.

Other solution is with zimage, sometime work, but sometime wifi error with twice flash zimage.

Sometimes I have full glitch on the screen before animation boot.

That's the reason I moved to the other custom rom, because I can't update the latest CM7.

But I'm still waiting and watch this thread every day, because this rom is best of the best untill now.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lnwlfoeo:
This is completely OFFTOPIC but I have a doubt/question.

Every time I press the Phone app (the one from desktop and app drawer work the same) it goes to the Favorites tab and not to Phone/dialer/keypad. I've tried with custom shortcuts, but I can'd find the right activity.

Anybody knows how to do this?

END OFFTOPIC
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcord11758:
I may be totally wrong here but I feel like the phone apk defaults to the most used tab. Meaning if you use favorites allot it will default to it, if you dial out a couple times in a row it will default to dialer.

Also if you use kitchen controls for phone it goes straight to dialer

Once again I may be wrong

CM7
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joaoennes:
Probably it's because it was your last activity in Phone.

If you dial a number and call, after it should open in the dialer/keypad like you want.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lnwlfoeo:
Check that and no. It's either Favorites or contacs.

But is ok, I can live with that, it was just a doubt. Thx.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sxi200:
Its opens to what you used last.

Dial a number from the dialler (even just 0) then quickly hang up. Next time you open it, it will be on the dialler screen.

Because most of us call through the contacts tab it reopens there again.

Personally I would like it to open on the dialler by default.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomqin:
I do have an empty folder named external_sd.... but as you said, there's nothing inside
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
On test 0313 optional sdcard already mounts as external sdcard... :D

I tested the dialers available on market, RocketDial is almost as good as Samsung dialer, much better than what comes with CM7, I bought it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
0313 battery drain is the best so far, including the "tweaked" kernels, almost 11 hours over night, 13% drain... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Hmmmm....What other changes was in 0313 besides the sd mounting that could account for that? Given 0313 is no longer available so for some of us it's only a myth. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brujoand:
Hehe, my phone is now running the test update codeworkx provided a few days ago. And it suddenly just shut down. No reboot. Just shutdown. Battery is almost full. Just an FYI :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Warrior4Jah:
Did you try deleting data for "phone" and "contacts" in settings -> apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
i tested the 0313 and it worked well besides the settings storage FC. 0312 no external sd at all.

so whether i go back to 0311 and can use a kernel which has voodoo sound, or i stick to 0313 but no voodoo sound, what a hazzle.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Warrior4Jah:
I'll check out rocketdial, tnx!

Now just to find a way to adjust default.prop without messing up the phone and get Swype working without license expired error. Overal I am very pleased with cm7!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Good question, but the changes will probably be in next release, even better... :rolleyes:

My experience is:

0311 2% drain per hour iddle

0312 drained very fast, had to install voodoo kernel after a couple of hours

0313 just over 1% per hour iddle
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
Where can i find this Voodoo Kernel for CM7?

I was looking for a thread...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:
Both Bilboa1's and Zacharias's Kernals contain support for the Voodoo sound app.

When using voodoo sound app, reduce Digital (side volume control) volume before pressing play in your music player, then set hardware amp volume, then increase digital volume to max. These steps need repeating everytime you press play as hardware amp resets to (default) max when music is stopped. If you forget, it's loud, and the wife wakes up, and your ears hurt... :D

Oops sorry im using both :P

i Thought you meanth there was a Supercurio Kernel, that does et4 voodoo :)

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
there is one, but i don't think it is up to date. besides it is using ext4 while cm7 is using yaffs2, which seems more performant.

both above mentioned kernels don't work with with the 0313 version because it has uncommited changes. I suppose it will be commited earlier or later.

so no voodoo sound, because no third party kernel, but at least external and internal sd is there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wanam:
Is there any active link for 0113?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
no has been removed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
i would suggest to flash 0311, works well even with the other kernels. you can access the external sd, through /emmc. everything works fine so far, including scanning of external card for multimedia files or images.

The only pb is, that you can not see it when connected to usb. you can only see the internal sdcard. but that's perfectly ok for me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Read the thread. NO SAMSUNG apps with CyanogenMod 7. ANY. Samsung apps depend on the Touchwizframework which its not supported on CyanogenMod or stock android. If you want Samsung apps, this is NOT your ROM.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fireymint:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brujoand:
As I see it, there are two possible problems here:

1. The build is broken

2. You didn't follow the steps correctly

If 1 is true, more people will be complaining about this, and it will get fixed :) if 2 is true, you have to start over from scratch. Other then that, I'm out of suggestions.

OK i got the Force Closure on the com.android.phone reproduced this time in a slightly different way. my phone charged all night, and i tought i'll reboot it, just for the sake of what's happening if you boot with a charger plugged.

guess what, force closure and no mobile network when it booted up.

also noted a very strange thing when i long press the power button to, we usually have a menu with shutdown, reboot, airplane mode, so while in force closure loop

the icone + text of the airplane button, was fast switching from activaded, desactivated, each time you hit the OK button of the FC window.

i guess i'll have to wipe/data again ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
The latest update has been downloaded over 2000 times..and, as i can see, only 4 users are complaining about it.

The initial package was made to serve different purpose..If you have problem with update packages starts over (i wrote something about several pages ago).

You can't ask a dev to lose his time to make a new package when it's NOT needed, imho.

Explain your problem and you will get a solution (even if i think all you need has been already written many times trough this thread.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Well said... ;)

It would be a lot more usefull an initial package for the next release, with the sdcard issues solved...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
If you really need sdcard, you can flash the previous build (0311) and it will be fine :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
SDcard always worked for me, since 0306, music player accesses music and playlists there, no problem, only missing USB access, wich is not a problem as I dont update my music often...

EDIT: I moved all my apps to internal to avoid problems, but with the changes in location that happened in different releases, it might be good an initial package to clear possible errors

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
Well i never had an issue with usb access (of course i'm refering to internal sd , since as for the external one it's a known issue)

Odin takes care of eventual bad blocks while flash trough recovery doesn't.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brujoand:
Good point :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Neither have I, I was referring to the known issue...

The guys just ODIN the initial version, so they shouldnt have bad blocks, at least bad blocks that ODIN can fix...

And if they have bad blocks that ODIN cannot fix, then initial version would not work either...

So it is a different problem, something they did wrong, or something wrong with their phone, IMHO... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
Then why is it so, that I can flash *any* 2.2.1 kernel/rom/update or anything without a hitch, but nothing that is CM7 related? :confused: (beside the initials ofc)

I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong, did every step of the instruction process at least 5 times already. I even tar-ed the zimage file from the nightly, flashed with odin (said it was a success) then restart, still no wifi. seriously, the devil is at work here :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
You're doing it the wrong way.

As for wifi issue, check logcat/dmesg. I think you've flashed a different kernel without it's related bcm4329.ko. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
You gotta talk!!:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
Though I tried to flash different kernels at first, cuz wifi didn't work, after the 3rd or 4th reinstall I did not care anymore, just tried to flash the nightly update over the initial rom and kernel via CWM & needless to say, it failed. It's stuck at galaxy S logo and it stays there until I get the battery out. CWM doesnt work after this maneuver either, only download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tingen:
1. Flash stock rom with depend on which version of sgs you have. You must use 3 file version with 512 pit.

2. Read the instruction of how to install CM7

3. Follow the instruction and install CM7

Next time be carefull you can end up with peace of plastic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Again... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
In this case, the Kernel wasn't flashed correctly (probably due to bad block, i guess). IN this case, extract zImage from the last update package you flashed, create a tar and flash trough odin. After that, reboot in recovery, wipe data/cache and reboot.

It should be fine.

I've gone through this process, three times in fact. 1st time with Odin, 2nd time w Heimdall, but I simply could not get the wifi to work, it says Error everytime I try to turn it on. At the 3rd try though, I nearly bricked my phone, was a nice afternoon trying to put her back to business.

@melorib: not again, still. None of the methods worked so far, so I really feel like there is nothing I can do to install CM7. I tried everything, every combo of kernels, updates, etc, wiped, cleared. Then put back 2.2.1 flashed custom kernels, updates, darky 9.2->9.3 everything works flawlessly, froyo kernels do get updated (voodoo->speedmod). CM7 simply does not. period. :(

(I'm curious if MIUI will work, cuz it uses the initial CM7 kernel)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] herly:
Hi .. Inosite, we have same problem, the different is I have 10 times to flash it .... :) ... I have to tried the original Eclair firmware from Kies and flash with odin, get same problem. When tar the zimage for the first time it work, I cannot remember which update, but sometime flash the tar, I get the wifi error too. So confused.

This problem same with flash bilboa kernel.

So ... Better to wait for the next release ... Time will be fixed it ....

Peace .... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dr.bahaeddin:
same here :mad:

Devs, do something!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
The wifi is an easy issue.

In few words, the kernel is "linked" with the compiled bcm4329.ko.

For each compilation you got the relative .ko file.

If it says error i'm pretty sure that the driver version is different from what is wrote in the kernel (that's why i asked you a logcat/dmesg). As a consequence it doesn't initialize the wi-fi.
