[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mdfaiz:
for versions RC7.X, there was 2 kernels to flash and a zip to flash via CWM.

for this version i realized that there is only this zip to flash.

so for someone who is coming from RC6, do i need to go to any RC7.x first or just a single flash of this RC8 will do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RosieKins:
I tried to do this.. but all i got was a black screen while recording and the thumbnail shows something was recorded but only black screen through playback also...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
RC7 - RC8

i dont know whats happening lol, what could be causing this ?

i did flash MIUI dark about an hour ago whilst on RC7. But thats included in RC8 so it cant be that can it ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
while you're in the camera lock and unlock the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RosieKins:
tried that :( now wont connect to camara at all.. FC's or brings up error.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vukandric:
For me, it is 720x480. So I guess no 720p recording. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Haha I'll see if I have the problem (also have MIUI dark) still downloading :) Galnet's server doesn't like my area LOLS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
huh? Isn't 720x480 720p? LOLS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RosieKins:
I was thinking that ... lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
nah. thats 480p

720p is

1280x720
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vukandric:
Nope, 720p is 1280x720 :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Are you using the stock MIUI kernel?

Oh right! LOLS I totally forgot :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RosieKins:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dwillMUFC:
Are existing OC/UV kernels working with this update?

Or do we still need to wait?

Thanks

If I can provide info to help someone just let me know.

For the rest, there seems to be speed improvment over RC7x, but I am at work so can't play too much :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RosieKins:

MIUI Kernel

Does anyone know where I can get hold of the default kernel that comes with MIUI RC8? I'm going to try the latest Klitch Kernel but may want to switch back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ImraanK:
Ditto..firewall doesnt seem to work for me aswell
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Just reflash RC8
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galnet:
Guy's... calm down the forums going that fast I can't keep up.. :D

As in regards to Making another version, I'm currently busy with other things. Everything works as is!

If people are having issues with flashing then please read the install guide..!

99% of issues occur because no one is willing to do a Format on Cache, System, Data and Datatdata.

Simply reflash CM7 Initial Kernel and it should boot for you.

As for black camera and video, it's also noted that if you Lock and Then Unlock the screen this issue will be fixed.

Sorry but it does get to the dev's everytime we release a rom and people don't take the time to read, but would rather flash first then moan later.

This zip is made CWM 3.0.0.5 compatible, at least I installed it on this rom so many times. But I not sure if this camera will work with another ROM, the pourpose of this deodexed apk is fix the original supplied on this beta 5.

But if there is any problem allways can install it, unzipping the CameraGoogle.apk ang pushing it to /system/app

Guys I think the problem is that I flashed the JF3 bootloaders, which **** up the memory.. so I need to update my bootloaders again to a newer version in order to get a faster phone again.. anyone has bootloaders for a 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROM (preferably not JS3/JS5) ??

You would really help me out with this..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hacksome:

Also my bad, the camera looks great in daylight but still the same in the dark. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Brotuck:
First page states clearly "

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A STABLE RELEASE, IT'S ONLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES AND NOT A DAILY ROM (YET)!"

How far is the stability now with beta5 and the fix posted on the last page ?

I want to try this but want a stable rom and no lockups.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Borky_16:
I have no Lockups and so on for now no Fc´s and i think the battery life is enough for a day..

So for me it is stable enough for daily/weekly/"everly" use :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
It's very difficult to advise, really. Though the post says it is not stable, I'm already using it as my daily driver since beta4!

Of course, there are bugs, and it depends whether you can live with those bugs. For me I can. :)

As to the stability issue, again it is very subjective. Even on stock rom, you will still find the occasional freezing, the occasional force close, the occasional reboot, etc etc.

You can never find a rom without those issues, stock included. :)

Edit: I can only advise you try it if you are confident enough to go back to your last previous rom or any rom you have used before. Just reflash a stock rom through odin with re-partition ticked, flash a cwm / voodoo kernel and do a nandroid recovery.

Edit2: But I can tell you this, once you are on this rom, you will unlikely to go back to other roms. :D My personal opinion of course.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Brotuck:
Ok will give it a go. Flasing is not a problem here ;)

Is the best ROM to start with a stockrom, or it does not matter ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vinnnn3003:
no, i am getting same error " incorrect pin ". on my galaxy s. the same sim works on any other handest. that means, my phone is gets locked.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mll7:
To my information the MIUI firewall is not a firewall, its just a network monitor, and you can exclude which programs to monitor.

Use Droidwall and download the CM7 IP tables fix, I don't know where it is on the form but I can send you an email with it just send me a PM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zumuha:
Is there a OC/UV kernel compatible with RC8?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
haven't checked tk glitchs but zachs and bilboas are.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JeeKee:
Flashed rc8, went smoothly without any probs.

Still one issue which might affect battery life, light sensory only registers either 6 or 5000lux... flashed from rc7 with full wipe so no probs there.

Anyway many thanks for the awesome job of maintaining and developing this fab rom

Flashable JVO modem

I edited a CM7 radio zip so that it flashes the JVO modem. After doing that, as for the green fix, you will have to unlock/lock/unlock and then reboot.

This modem comes from the official JVH 2.3.3 firmware, so it would be nice to see it in the next RC. :)

i was on cm7 (2.2 bootloaders) , i format system, catch , data, and sd card. and i flashed rc8. i cannot find any external sd file in my sd card directory. i reflash rc8 but the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
so you were able to see the external sd when u were in cm7? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rkp278:
@Galnet: Awesome work. Flashed RC8 and everything worked the first time. Thanks a lot for the great ROM.

As for the video, when I look into settings I am getting 3 options, high (30m), low (30) and MMS (Low, 30s). Is High(30m) is the 720p video or am seeing the correct options?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aristos77:

there have been loads of talks about this being called rc. i'd prefer not getting into it again.

but it's like this. if you're using this rom and you have no problems then that's why it's called RC. if you're using this rom and it does have problems, then this rom isn't for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raulinho7:

Does anyone know why this happens?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
+1 and i dont even think this should still be in RC stage. I would say its a complete stable ROM.

Ive seen "stable" roms out there with more issues than this rom.

i mean what doesnt work ?? I know battery life isnt great but battery life isnt good in general for the SGS.

camera works, 720p recording now works :D, sd card works.

This rom is epic, im so glad i converted
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Stupendousman:
Rom is amazing thats right... so thx to all who made this possible...

Something i recognized...

Vodoo Control doesn´t function... cause of the kernel...

And my Cam fc everytime i switch to video...

Come on Dude...thats not right...

A Stock Rom lasts 2 Days without a problem for me with normal use... Thats more than ok... and imho very good for a smartphone with this big screen...

i do have selected a recipient...

I don't think it's a Miui problem...
