[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
why ?

if you finally have the source from Samsung and all working

you only need to adapt the working source to the changes introduced - say in Honeycomb or Android 2.4

if you have a working base you can port it (the drivers) by re-orienting at the Nexus S base - no need to re-invent the wheel over and over again

but if you need your phone working 100% NOW & have the chance then go for it

unless codeworkx has had really bad experience with his Desire HD recently
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
Looking good on the 03-12 Update, looks like Voodoo Color is not needed anymore, as the colors are reverted back to 2.3.2 :)

Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kamelot.sk:
@zacharias.maladroit

thanks for answer, I'm just thiniking... SGS has 100% better display, that's no doubt. DHD has even worse than my "classic" Desire...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] potokis:
Hi . I have a problem if someone can help me please . I just flash the rom and everything is ok but i cant restore my apps because the titanium backuo cant see the folder . What can i do ? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gembol:
You can try to copy all content of folder "TitaniumBackup" from \sdcard\ to \emmc\

It worked for me.

So if im right there is no more voodoo sound possible??? UI cannot live without that . It makes youre sound so much better then stock .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ricpersi:
can we all just stop this gpl thing? codeworkx clearly stated that the 0311 build was for test purposes.. it contained uncommitted code because it was not clear if that code was any good or not. he has already pulled that update, he had enough feedback from other users. please be sure that if the code changes were good he will commit them to github.

so please,stop complaining and be thankful to the devs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
XDA is just awesome.

please don't kill the hopes of CM for those who are genuinely grateful eh?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Ok so voodoo sound will work ?? I really need that one because i use my mp 3 every day?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
I moved all my apps to internal before installing 0312, and avoided problems, except higher battery drain than previous version...

Now I am in 0313, very good, reasonable battery drain, and file manager can see external card... :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
IT CAN WORK with all versions except TEST 0313 that is out anyway, with voodoo kernel, of course... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Ok nice i will wait fot the version with external sd card then i will update to CM7
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wanam:
I believe you may remove this warning, I am on beta 9 since it's out, and all things are OK, i think it's ready for usable daily if compare it to other custom Roms.

Just one issue for me, battery drainage = 2%/1hour (email deactivated) in Idle mode :(.

Hope you will fix email problem, it is always running, i must delete his data to deactivate it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
Can anyone recommend a good Radio for this Rom, Im currently on JVE and it seems to drop the data in and out..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wanam:
Same question here, what is the best Radio for battery life?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
I think JPM it is JPM based soooo ... ?But im only geussing ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:
BUJP5 works well for me, on Vodafone in the UK. Data is quick, phone calls are clear, GPS works well (if the radio is a factor in GPS performance)....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tedgy:
For me jp5 is Best battery life

And you ?

I m in french
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomqin:
I am experiencing an issue after upgrading this build, the phone doesn't recognize my external sd card, i have no image in the gallery app but the storage in setting works fine for me, in the sd card on the top it says not available. But I can sure that I inserted a working sd card....

Don't know why can somebody explain this issue please?

thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tedgy:
You probably dont have an empty "external_sd" folder on your internal sdcard ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:
I haven't tested it against any other, on the same rom, for long enough to find out. Lasts a day, medium use, wifi, or data only on when needed. Good enough for my needs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Same here, BUJP5 best I tested for calls, wifi and battery drain, GPS never used, only tested...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lmulli:
JPY for me in the UK. Tried JPM, JP5 etc.. but JPY gives me the best data connection and speeds.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Alkymia:
is there any way to replace camera.apk from system with a working one? i broke it by mistake and updates doesnt get it to work. Thx!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ricpersi:
and while we're at it, i'd like to thank the work that bilboa1 and zacharias.maladroit are putting into their customized kernels. They're doing a great job adding functionality that cannot go in cyanogenmod upstream.

I'm pretty sure that codeworkx isn't discouraging customized kernels, but please keep in mind that we're still at an early development stage, so breaking things can happen at any time and is something we have to live with.

that said, peace & love to you all! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tedgy:
for fast final version is dev, please test original kernel before switch to a custom

if all don't try codeworkx kernel, the cynogenmod have not chance to advance in a final stage of dev ;)

@codeworkx have you an irc for help you ? i have time for test on fly :-)

do you agree with my opinion?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
In my phone the standard colours look nicer than voodoo correction, and I dont use the phone as a walkman, yet, so I always test the standard kernel first...

I install the others because the battery drains less, at least it did until 0312...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
And what about the white? Mine is a little yellowish

Sent from my CM7 Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
White is white on mine, on the other hand colours are too red and dark with voodoo, have to use RGB correction...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
I can't say much on battery drain (yet) but the call quality is AWESOME, wifi (not tested), GPS (also not tested yet), data throughput is reasonably well (somewhat slower than JPG [Hongkong] but OK)

if you're running Vodafone or anything related this is the Modem to go

best modems in terms of battery drain seem to be:

- JPB

- JPE

- JPG (new)

- JP5

thanks ! :)

(currently I've used up all of my 5 thanks per day, sorry)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
JPY very good Wifi and call, less good battery

JPB less good Wifi and call, very good battery

JP5 very good Wifi, battery and call quality

This is no complainment, it is a report:

I tried to make a Nandroid in recovery, everything seemed to be normal, but at the end I saw something like this:

creating md5 sum

error creating md5 sum

I thought, okay, no nandroid at this point and I rebooted the phone.

When it finished booting I was welcomend with the GAAP Installation process and all my Apps were gone.

Don't know why a Nandroid killed my /data ...

Has anyone tried Task killer om CM7:confused:

If yes, what is your opinion about it?

Which version do you use?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aratheba:
Great work!

This is such a great rom! Thank you guys for your precious work! ;)

Just one question: sometimes when I lock the phone, I cannot make it come out of the lock state. Even if I press many times the home button, the screen remains black!

Last time I had to pull out the battery! :eek:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] smukc:
guys i know that this thread is just for testing and reporting bugs but could you put sim tool kit in cm7? couse a lot of people use that:o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OzanOs:
@smukc

This is a alpha release not even a beta so there will be no support. Its an Experimental Rom so its only for testing not for the daily use.

I think you have to wait for the final release.

Guys I testet the battery a bit ;)

here the results

Rom version: 20110205

Modem: JPY

tested for 10 hours

wlan/bluetooth/GPS/3g: off

battery capacity at the beginning: 95% (It stops at 95 during charging. Dont know the reason?)

battery capacity after the test: 84%

that means it looses 1% per hour if you do nothing with your phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] smukc:
i didnt mean that they must put sim tol kit in alpha or beta i mean if they can put it when the steable version will be released becouse someone sayed a few pages back that CM doesnt suport sim tol kit... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seriouser:
maybe try http://www.romkitchen.org and create update.zip?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leoon:
I've been using it for more than 1 day and I must say its very stable.

only 1 time random reboot

I had to remove the launcher that came with it since it had some lag when opening the app drawer.. but with ADW Ex its very smooth

The only thing I miss is the camera so I hope it gets fixed eventually

Great work

Though Titanium Backup didnt restore some settings and data of few games (it did for others..), is this because of 2.3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Stefanauss:
Same here, but i replaced it with Launcher Pro.

The same. I backed up everything with Titanium when i was on a Samsung Rom (ok, custom Darky's).

Every single restore went fine, but some apps had their settings effectively restored, while some other don't.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chupchip:
In the future, will we ever see CM7 officially supported?

I didn't mean to ask for ETA, pressure or anything. But is it theorically possible?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Stefanauss:
It seems likely.

Yesterday my battery lasted 10hours, with very heavy use (3g and wifi all the time, switching beetwen them, a lot of apps installed, music, experiencing the rom..), 2h 30m screen active. And i was starting from 92%, because this was the % showed when i unplugged it.

Now it just dropped from 100 to 99 after unplugging. I am running it 7 hours with 1:30 h screen active and it's at 64%.

I guess that in your quest to make CM7 a daily driver, battery life is not a real issue. It seems to last the full working day it needs to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TubeShaped:
Whats the difference to the port on the desire HD? Did they also port the nexus s kernel? not likely since its not similar hardware right? so they use a htc kernel?

Hey guys, I'm new to this cyanogen stuff, so i'd like to request some help! :)

I did everything that was written in the instructions, the phone boots up nicely, but everytime I try to update to a newer version of cynogen (NIGHTLY) the phone is stuck at the Galaxy S GT-i9000 screen. What am I doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

(I even tried to update the kernel first (bilboa's) but it's the same. After I reflash the initial kernel in Odin, the phone boots up again :confused: )

Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
Unzip a nightly there you have to tar the zimage and flash it with odin....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wkapga:
this is a faq. you need to reboot using the 3-button-combo (on/up/menu). all other methods do NOT work and maybe never will. good luck :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
Thank you! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
i am not sure that the latest 1203 version is supportes by bilboa1 or zacharias kernel for the moment.

thus flush the update but don't flash any other kernel until it is stated otherwise.

or stay with 0311.

anyhow once you update you should first start you phone without flashing another kernel, just so the included kernel can do his job, and the go back into recovery and flash the other kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Only 0313 doesnt support voodoo kernels...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
0312 contains already UNcommited modifs, thus i don't know, i use 0311 and i have voodoo sound and colors, and I will move forward when they stated it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sugar 7:
03/13 ??? but the link is of !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
First of all GPL does not oblige anybody to publish anything, he just have to give a copy in any form of the source code (including paper) to whom asks for it.

second: I think bilboa1 did a great job and I hope he is continuing doing it. His kernel is the only one where voodoo sound really works.

Bilboa I think the new version of cvm7 is out with the commited changes, but i am not sure.

keep up the good work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
In settings the mod version is: Cyanogen 9-03092011-Nightly-galaxyS even though I tried to update to 03122011 it just won't. The only reason to update my kernel is because Wifi is broken
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
use 1103,

make a clean install.

it should work including wifi.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vukandric:
It was only a test version, with a bug. Only to test external sd. Wait for a new update.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexx910:
Well, actually I have the same problem since yesterday and no one could help me solving this. Maybe some of the instructions are not exactly enough. Otherwise I did everything, what was described in the tutorial. So I dont get it, why I'm not possible to flash the newest CM7 Rom :( Thats pretty sad and it s*cks -.-

I always get these strange lines, which stand in the quote -.-

At this moment I start to believe that my galaxy s dont like CM7.

I already tried it the 4. time exact like in the tutorial, but it didnt change anything :(

Does really no one have this problem like I do? :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
i remember I had staus 7 also.

what i did, is i flashed the stock gingerbread with odin, which worked perfectly, and then i change to cm7
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
If you followed the tutorial, you saw that it's needed to flash INITIAL before any update.

That assert fail simply because you are trying to flash a CM7 update over a "fresh" system.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
where's the issue with my kernel, please ?

any bug description ?

if your voodoo control app crashes

it's YOUR SYSTEM and/or YOUR APP - you're not using the latest version (>0.9.1) :p

for me it works :)

thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
I dont think so, 0312 was draining more than usual so I flashed Bilboa´s kernel and everything worked fine...

By the way, 0313 works very well, only not compatible with voodoo kernel... :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
I really can't believe that I'm unable to flash any kernel besides the initial, and even after installing 03112011 the phone could only boot up with the initial kernel. I also don't know how I should make the zimage file a .tar file. Tried google, but it's beyond my understanding & don't have the tools either. Could anyone provide a zimage.tar file or any other solution? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
i know that one, but i want voodoo sound thats way, otherways i would stay with the cm7 kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexx910:
Well, now I managed to make the CM7 work on my phone thanks to Alessandro :)

Thanx my italian friend :)

But now my phone is kinda bisy with backup and recovery or somethin in that way over 5 minutes -.- why the hell does it takes so long :(? I have to update the phone additionally...

PS: I love the turn off animation :)

PPS: Lol, cant stop laughing :D My phone is since 15 minutes busy :D why does it take so long to install some google apps and so ? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
You dont need to make them .tar, the problem is something else...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
Then what should I do? :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Please repeat your problem, I dont remember everything you wrote...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
put the update zip file on your sdcard and flash with cwm, thats all, besides if you want to flash another kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Thats the obvious, I imagine he tried it, I dont understand his problem... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
I've been coming from darky's 9.3, backed up EFS, installed initial kernel via Odin, flashed initial CM7, then the phone booted up just fine. After that I tried to update CM7 to a newer nightly build, but it always got stuck at Galaxy S screen, even after several reflashes. I thought the problem might be the kernel, but I've encountered the same problem w bilboa's kernel (the phone won't boot), so I reflashed the initial kernel again (Odin) and now it boots, but have no wifi and have the bugs of the initial release. The ROM itself is listed as 03.11.2011 though..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] qsec:
After the initial CM7, you didn't by any chance forgot to do a factory reset before booting the first time?

/qsec
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Do you get into recovery using 3 buttons ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
first of all the update is identical to the initial, you don't have to flash the update after the initial.

once you have the kernel on board, if it get stuck in the initial samsung s screen. did you try to take out the batte"ry and restart it. it happend to me and worked without any problems.

and by the way the first time you flash the kernel, it takes at least 5 minutes for the kernel to do the job, before the sgs starts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
No, I did everything that was written: wiped system, data and cache, then factory reset

I tried it, didn't help :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
How did you try to flash those kernels ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
what do you mean? I had a basic CWM under darky's, I flashed the initial CM7 via Odin

Also: after the update to 0311 I had to reflash the initial kernel, cuz it got stuck at the white Galaxy S logo. So no wifi.. Anything I try to flash via CWM under CM7 simply doesn't let the phone boot, let it be kernel, rom or both
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wanam:
Thanks work great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Did you ever got the recovery screen ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
Let's start sayin that UPDATE != INITIAL, otherwise they would have the same name, size and there wasn't a special mention to initial package and update package. So, differently from what you wrote, you have to flash the update package if you want to stay up to date with the latest rls. (After you flash the initial package, is always reccomanded to reboot first and then apply the update).

As reported in previous page, a kernel can be flashed in 2 ways:

1. Trough Odin. (You have to make a tar of zImage file and, afaik it works only on linux - refering to tar making not to flash trough odin)

2. Using CWM and making an update package (you can use the same script found in the update/initial Cm7 package for i9000).

You DON'T have to flash a different kernel. It always get flashed once you flash a fresh update! If you want to try different available kernel, you can use one of the method listed above.

When you're in this kind of situation, start from the beginning.

Flash with repartition an original samsung rom.

Then flash speedmod kernel.

Then flash Cm7 initial kernel.

Reboot in recovery using combo key.

Wipe data, format system/data/datadata/cache

Flash initial package (do not apply any update/gapps - just initial package!)

Reboot

If you still got stuck at boot screen, reboot in recovery and data wipe/cache again. then reboot

If still suck, a logcat will be helpful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
Ofc, I can enter recovery every now and then the phone is now On, I can make calls etc, but I can't update the phone normally, can't install newer kernels etc., cuz after reboot the phone hangs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
How do you enter recovery, sorry for insisting, but somethings you say are a bit contradictory, could be my english... :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
only with 3 button combo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
You flash the kernel from card then do "reboot now" ???

How long do you wait ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Inosite:
yeah, and now usually 2-3 mins, but at first I waited as long as 10 minutes but nothing happened
