This thread is for the latest unofficial builds of CyanogenMod 7 for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. This version is based only on upstream CM7 (currently CM 7.2.0 RC1). We have not made any theming changes, apk changes, etc. It's exactly how it would be on any other phone that receives CM7 nightlies (usually just slightly more broken). CyanogenMod 7 is stable enough on this phone where it can be used as a daily driver, provided a feature that you require is not broken. That said, you may encounter issues, so don't rely on everything. This is a beta port but we're getting very close to being ready to start the process of becoming official.

This thread is for development. If you have a problem and don't post logs (where relevant) or provide any detail, I will ignore you.

Please report issues with proper grammar, thorough explanation, and speak in a respectful manner. If you are reporting an issue that has already been reported, post some logs (logcat, dmesg, kmsg, last_kmsg, etc).

Working:
  • MTD and YAFFS2.
  • Tiny Preempt RCU in the kernel for lower memory allocation overhead.
  • ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) 5.0.2.8
  • Power Management
  • 2D and 3D Graphics
  • Sound
  • Brightness control
  • Modem/Radio/RIL
  • SMS/MMS
  • WiFi
  • BLN (Requires the use of neldar's BLN application. Use the pro version for the best experience)
  • Ringtones
  • Vibration
  • GPS
  • Rear Facing Camera
  • Front Facing Camera *New
  • Camcorder
  • Video Encoding and Decoding
  • cpufreq/underclocking, etc. No OC/UV.
  • Rebooting to recovery
  • USB Mounting in Android and Recovery Mode
  • Wireless and Wired Tethering
  • Bluetooth
  • Voodoo sound
  • 911

Broken
  • Rebooting to download mode (not sure if anything can be done about this, short of hacking the bootloader)
  • Car/Desk dock audio
  • TV-Out
  • WiFi-Calling

Known Issues/Bugs

If you find more issues, please check with CM7 gerrit before you think it's a problem with something we've done.

If you find an issue, please provide any relevant logs. It's also preferable to post it to our github issue tracker.

If the error is occuring in /proc/kmsg or /proc/last_kmsg, it's definitely kernel related. Post it on the Kernel Issue Tracker

If the error is showing up in logcat, chances are it can be fixed through modification of our device tree. Post it on the Device Issue Tracker.

Github/Changes: https://github.com/teamacid/

Instructions are in the second post.

Builds are in the third post.

Incoming internet calls work well. I'm using my sgs4g exclusively on wifi, so I can't comment on mobile network connection; however, wifi strength is a bit weak.

Happy to see this stay up.

Running R6 currently because I found it had better battery life than R7, even though (maybe because?) it doesn't properly report which apps burned down the battery (Settings->Applications->Battery shows 33/33/31 for the Cell standby/Wifi/Phone idle, with 2% for display and 2% for a game). With R6, from 6am-9pm (15 hours), battery goes down about 50% with moderate scattered usage including some games that burn fast battery.

If any logs are desired with either R6 or R7, just let me know what to run. Thanks.

In an email I sent to teamacid members:

M_T_M has helped to convinced me to stick around.

I'm gonna take two weeks off from hacking to get my life sorted out
and to clear my mind.

When I come back, my threads (heimdall, cm7, and kernel) will be
unlocked and updated.

Until then, I'll be hangin out in #teamnerd in case you guys need any help.

Nice to see you'll be back Bryan. You've done so much for our phone already, and you're a great dev, and put up with more than you should have to. Wish that was enough to make life not suck.

Anyway, back on topic, can't wait to try out this ROM soon

Not that I don't have access to *nix. but will there be a build to install that is similar to the way everyone is used to such as CWM, Basically a windows version?

Just a question of curiosity, I'm happy to see CM 7 here on our devices and am excited to see a final build once everything has been worked out. :)

Thank you very much for working on this build and to whoever helps out with it! you are a credit to the community. :)

Even on the Galaxy S, you have to heimdall the zImage(boot.img... same thing) as the first step to moving over.

After the heimdall step is done, you basically install cm7 through cwm.

We don't have RomManager/GooManager support... yet, but that will be worked out later.

If you talk to pawitp over on that side, he can walk you through the two-stage recovery flash we do now. Going from BML to MTD does not require heimdall or Odin anymore on the i9000, Captivate, etc.

Yes, our cm7 build uses the same two stage recovery.
But for some reason, I still have to heimdall the boot.img.

After using it for two days, I'd say the the rom is very stable. Battery is relatively great. I'm not having the wifi or 4G issues that people are talking about. USB transfer worked for me once yesterday, but now when I try to hit the message about connecting to the computer (can't remember what it says exactly) in the notification menu, it doesn't open the option. Other than that though, everything is great.

Also, I think FB's instructions for installing the rom should be pasted here. It's what I used, and it seems to have caused zero issues.

I think it might be, because the partition layout differences between bml and mtd, but at that point the real differences only exist beyond the system partition.

    Alrighty, video recording is fixed. Give me around an hour and a half to post a new build.

    :D It's beta now. It's also thinking about getting official time.

    Edit: If I don't have it up in an hour and a half or so, I probably fell asleep.

    Edit2: I forgot about the front facing camera orientation. I want to fix that before I post the build. It'll take some trial and error.
