My feedback is good, but to be realistic i didnt felt it to be daily usable unless you are cyanogen adicted, i had cm6 on tattoo w/o cam and didnt complained because camera sucked, in sgs its an awesome camera and i've missed it.

I used to play a lot of psx with fpse and couldnt get it to work but i think it doesnt support 2.3 yet so its not related to this rom, other gpu heavy games went nice, real solid and fluid.

One of my biggest downsides of CM7 right now is the lack of the S. AMOLED enhancements hardcore kernel brings, some blacks just are way too redish, it didnt feel nice.

My final conclusion is that its one of the best experiences ive had in android, since i get the feeling its way harder than any other port its awesome to see that its so functional and so complete already, ive really enjoyed the full day i had it, brought a smile to my face everytime i used the device.

I dont give thumbs though, i give the whole two arms up for your incredible work in every aspect involved in this rom, you should be proud big time.

That said, i already deeply thank you guys for the awesome experience you guys made possible.

Putting big hopes in your development skills in order to solve all the issues. I dont have the wealth to make donations (i saved money for almost 4 months to be able to buy this device), but believe i will when you can get it to be a daily usable rom

@all users reading this, please be patient, its actually NOT easy at all to do this kind of effort.

Was trying to be good and wait for an RC but I may have to try this for a day just to have a sneak peek at the awesomeness!! Nice work guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkalchemist:
Is there a way to change the font in CM7 or an app to do so?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
I would guess as always rename desired font to default name and replace in font dir.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rumble6059:
Quick question guys, bit stupid I'm sure... what does RC stand for?

sent from my CM7, gingerbread powered GalaxyS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] goldenmunky:
RC stands for Release Candidate

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] derrzredeem:
I know it's already fixed, but after a reboot my /data is not mounted.

Can anyone confirm it please?

Thanks guys :-) so its basically a stable release then.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aziztcf:
Yeah. Mainline CM7, not the SGS CM7 codeworkx and the crew are working on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -jacky2k-:
with the newest update i can't install some apps - get an error "not enough space"

in settings / application i cant see any size of the internal memory?

and with root explorer my /data partition have no size.

with the old update 11/02 everything works.

can someone confirm this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freddje:
i have a problem, i flashed the latest version while i came frome the one of 11 februari, but the boot screen gets stuck and reboots, gets stuck, etc...

and thats been going about 15 min now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] derrzredeem:
i think it's because /data is not mounted. it's fine with previous build tho.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tingen:
Just pull out battery. Wait 30 sec. Put it back and restart.

think, too

in recovery i cant mount /data, get an error - invalid argument

any way to solve this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkalchemist:
Is it right to take a while for it to boot after applying the latest update? Installed the initial from the 11th and it boots quick, I reboot and apply the 17th update. After applying it though, it's still on the kanged screen now waiting to boot.

EDIT: Woohoo!!! Took a while but it just booted up :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freddje:
it does the same thing... just reboots the boot screen, the rotating arrow
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tingen:
Strange. You can try to apply the update again or wipe.

Sent from my lean machine AKA "CM7"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] derrzredeem:
mine works fine.

update: after some numerous reboot, it mounted for sure :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freddje:
im applying the update again now, it takes a long time for installing system though, now booting again, hope it works
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
I updated to todays build, stuck on the kanged logo for 25 min or so, read I could flash initial kernel through odin, phone booted up, but some apps are not installing to /data not being mounted. And the worst was that when I rebooted the phone, all data was lost, just like a wipe...

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tingen:
Apply update again and wipe.

Sent from my lean machine AKA "CM7"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freddje:
same thing again,

what kind of wipe should i use, anyone knows how to solve this?

Release candidate. Oops bit late with this one.. lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
There's a really strange data problem on some devices.

For those who aren't able to mount data because of invalid argument there's only one solution:

adb shell

# mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -L data /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Then reboot... :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tingen:
Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, cache

Apply zip from sdcard: cm7-galaxys-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip

Do a wipe!

Reboot

OPTIONAL: Copy Gapps to your internal sdcard and flash at recovery

Update with newest build. So you must apply with the last initial first.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -jacky2k-:
thanks will try it.

but with all other versions i didnt have any /data mount problems ...

so dont know why now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Cant get to Recovery with 3 button combo... weird.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Tried this, at least /data is "mountable" in CWR, right now it is rebooting... lets hope it does xD

How long did it take to you to boot?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freddje:
it worked, now i only have to upgrade again and hope that its gonna work...

btw how to flash another radio image, just recovery and select zip?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tingen:
Glad to hear. Download radio from first page and flash from recovery.

not in a certain step of a proces, thats nice, didn't know that, thanks!!!!

have this problem with data and i wipe and reinstal update and now when i power the phone up it mounts data =) didnt check in recovery jet hmm ? =)

EDIT:

nope in recovery is unmounted... strange :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -jacky2k-:
this isnt working for me :(

/data partition will be created but after an reboot no mount of /data ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
Try it at recovery.

"Mounts & Storage" -> format data
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -jacky2k-:
this works, after format data -> mount /data at recovery works but after a reboot no mounting of data again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] smukc:
data is mounted now

datadata and external sd card isnt mounted but that is corect right ? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -jacky2k-:
hmmm i'am going back to stock rom with odin repartition.

and then flash cm again... maybe this works ;D

Currently rebooting, 7 mins ouch.

How long should I wait before pulling the battery and trying again?

Edit - just hit 9 mins and now it has passed onto the boot animation

You can try now if you like worst case is you must format system, cache and data and apply the update again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -jacky2k-:
for the new update is not really working...

after odin flash and back to CM it looks like mounting /data work but i cant boot ... everytime its booting in recovery. factory wipe doesnt help ...

because i use my sgs as alarm clock i'am restoring now my samsung nandroid...

testing again at weekend i think.

sorry for my bad english (german) and iam very tired ;D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BlackDino:
yea everything worked, although I am getting Force close for everything

Does anyone else have this issue?

Edit: just rebooted and everything is back to normal
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
well thats what i just did, formatted system, data, cache

reinstalled kernel with odin

then reflashed initial package 20110211

then update to 20112017

ok waiting now, i am sure it will come back with something

or it run's out of battery

6 minutes until boot loader
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BlackDino:
What a great day, new version of CM7 and a new version of Honeybread theme :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
Update eventually worked just fine after being stuck at the KANGED screen for about 30 minutes.

Next time I looked it was booted up. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Im waiting for more feedback, since there is sure some issue with /data. Going back to 20110211 update which was working flawlessly for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] larsn84:
Hi

Im a studying this build of the CM7 for the SGS and doing a thorough walkthrough of the guide before going any further.

FYI, I've already flashed CM7 on my Desire HD, and this is for my gf.

Well, this led me to wonder about the last steps of the guide. It says:

"Apply zip from sdcard: cm7-galaxys-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip

Do a wipe!

Reboot

OPTIONAL: Copy Gapps to your internal sdcard and flash at recovery"

I don't understand why I should wipe after flashing the zip? and then flash the gaaps? :confused:

Wouldn't this leave me without a ROM?

Or am I supposed to upgrade straight afterwards to the newest version 0217?

What's the dealio? :)

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HazzBazz:
correct me if Im wrong, but a wipe wipes dbdata and data...so the system stuff is fine. Ie yes you still have a rom, but not custom stuff...sorta out of the box.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] funkateer2:
After a 10 mn booting time, a lot of fc, an unexpected reboot,other fc's,...wiping dalvik cache..everything is now working great. With this last release it happens to be like the olders ,'funny' moments with fc and strange behaviour, but juste have to wait the rom is 'getting ' quiet and everything rocks ! Great job!

Sent from my CMGalaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
Oops yeah no data. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] larsn84:
Okay, guess this differs from HTC then... if i wipe, I wipe data (factory reset), and normally also cache + dalvik... and this leaves me without a ROM, just keeps staying on the operator logo and never boots...

will try... thanks for quick reply

Edit: skipped the wipe part and rebooted... worked just fine and Im in CM7 now...

After performing the steps, I found my self in CWM3 at the discussed point, and it is my oppinion that a factory reset erase the ROM? Otherwise I misunderstood something perhaps? :o

Guess the wipe part is added, because it is nessecary before applying CM7update.zip
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkalchemist:
I'm liking some of the new mainline additions atm (lockscreens and ability to sync all exchange mail at last!!!).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] larsn84:
Wierd... when flashing CM7_update_xxx_0217.zip my touchscreen dowsn't work anymore... "hard buttons" work, plus buttons under screen, but no respons when touching the screen... works fine in _0211.zip

anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Master&Slave™:
Does this work for Samsung Vibrant
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Questions:

1) What exactly was fixed in recovery in the new update? was NANDROID not working properly before?

2) What changes were made to mainline? (I know lockscreen and exchange, but anything else?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
i got it to work

there is either one of those two things involved in updating with the last zip:

wipe dalvik cache or just make sure that everything is mounted properly.

might be both.

because i had:

first took a long time before boot

then not enough space to install any aplications

so i did

reinstalled the kernel with odin

reflashed the initial zip

flashed the update zip

flashed gapps

wiped dalvik cache

and restarted everything

and there it is working now

besides that, i am checking for the moment if it reboots when wifi is set to shutdown when screen is off.

I think wiping dalvik cache did the most important thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bilboa1:
turn off, remove sim, reboot, check touchscreen works, turn off, put sim back, reboot. weird i know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:

Great job guys! Very smart and awsome rom.

While only a few FC in camera, settings of CPU and with WIFI-restarts (as stated).

I found some strange bug: if i inter the "night mode" with a desktop widget,

it not applied on the notification bar while you not open it.:confused:

PS

Thanks for the Hebrew full support GB keyboard. //LIKE//
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sideeffects:
I also had the data problem from update. I used Odin to revert back to speedmod-kernel to reinstall the efsbackup then started a fresh install following initial instructions.

All worked perfectly after that. Wifi is working well with JPY radio image also and it seems quicker to detect a network signal.

Reboot phone now gives option to enter recovery does it work? I'm too scared to click it atm;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] remz92:
and now after I flashed the gapps I'm stuck in a boot loop. It asks me to touch the andriod then just restarts. damnit. it was working so well before. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Just a couple of notes:

1) Wipe data/factory reset reports a error make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmblk1p2

2) Tried to restore the nandroid backup I made yday (which took over 20 minutes) - it failed with md5 mismatch

PS: a few more notes/updates:

1) Manually formatted /data and it doesnt hang on kanged as long anymore when getting into recovery

2) Deleted the md5 from the nandroid and manually generated it and the backup restored, but had FCs - perhaps a corrupt data in the nandroid.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joaoennes:
I'm glad I can do a backup without using adb. This rom is just getting better and better.

Excelent work codeworkx, coolya, guiper ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BL4zD:
Can you put the steps to reinstall the efsbackup?

Do I just push the folder with adb?

The reboot into recovery does *not* work on my Captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
i don't think any reboot into recovery works, you always have to use the 3 button after a shutdown to go into recovery.

since i have cleaned the dalvik cache evrything works fine and smooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dasandroid:
Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BlackDino:
Same issue here

I am able to still use my phone, although I get a ton of FC issues.

Im guessing my filesystem is corrupt, hopefully there is a new update soon that fixes it

For you guys who claim exchange support is now fine, which account do you use ?

For me with hotmail account, it's still not rendering html emails.

And yet another problem which could be "mainline", it seems like the browser is less efficient than stock ..

For example, when I go on facebook mobile website, it displays homepage fine but when I go to messages, it first displays the list then automatically goes to blank page.

Thanks for your feedback
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rover.prince:
I have done everything, as per all guides provided. Still data mounting issue peris with updated 17-02-2011. So I reverted back to 11-02-2011 and no data issue at all. I don't know what's the issue, but there's something wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
LOL, just realized I downloaded SGS I-9000b... And I have been trying to flash it all the time with no luck... Sorry codeworkx... Noob reporting for duty...

I'll try with the correct one, maybe some of us where doing the same...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkalchemist:
I had data problems myself when reinstalling from stock to CM7. Must make sure to mount data in CWM and it's fine. No problems now. Worse thing for me was going back to stock and even with lagfix getting some jitter and general slowness compared to CM7. It's worrying how Samsung can make such bad software for such good hardware....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
After the /data issues last night, for good measure, I switched back to previous release, did a full Titanium backup. Factory wiped, did an update to the new release, factory wiped AND formatted data manually and then restored from Titanium backup. Of course one, more or all of the steps listed are certainly redundant but now everything seems fine :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
will prepare a new build today.

i think the fsck did something bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Yay! Thanks! Will wait for todays update then before flashing 20110217 build, next time I will double check I pick I9000, not I9000b xD
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -jacky2k-:
At the moment Iam using Samsung js5 because the data mount problem and its so ****ing slow ...

Waiting for the new version.

Thanks again for your great work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leoon:
I went back to stock since I needed the camera, so I backuped the apps+data of all my apps..

Then when I restored them in the samsung firmware (JS3,InsanityROM v0.6), none of the apps had the data!!

Is it related to CM7?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
So you backed up into a 2.2.1 ROM apps from a 2.3.2 ROM... GJ ;)

They are not compatible. Probably they will give you FC all over the place.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leoon:
But when I backed up the apps from 2.2.1 to cm7, most of the apps restored the data and worked well!?

if I go back to CM7, it will successfully restore the data right?

is there any workaround to get the data to work on 2.2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BL4zD:
you got lucky or didn't play with it enough to find errors.

it should restore the data when you go back to cm7 but who can tell now...keep a backup of it on your computer just in case. you don't want to restore data from your stock ROM to CM7 on accident or you risk corrupting CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cygnust:
What's your source ?

I made a titanium backup from my apps in 2.2.1 and restored them in 2.3.1 with absolutely no problem ..

None gave me a force close.

as long as you don't restore system apps like mail or sms nor restore whole backup there will be no problem.

Some of my apps loss their data but most of them kept it.

Only one which had a weird behaviour was whatsapp which was messing with my contacts (attributed saved chats to wrong contacts) but with a dalvik cache wipe, all was ok ;)

screen calibration

@codeworkx,

first i want to thank you guys for your awesome work on cm7,

we are 3 people with 3 sgs in our office lol... and all of us are waiting for screen calibration...

i saw that you guys decided to put the priority on low for screen calibration issue...

i just wanted to ask why, is it hard to fix or is it too time consuming or complicated?

thx in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leoon:
Did you try the other way around? from 2.3 -> 2.2.1?

Is there anyway to get data back to 2.2.1?
