HOW TO TEST 911 FOR ME
I encourage everyone to test 911 with this ROM and let me know. It's a serious issue and we need to fix it.

  • Find your PSAP (Public Service Access Point) here.
  • Call the NON-EMERGENCY number
  • Schedule a test 911 call, then call at the time specified.
If the call succeeds: Ask them if they received your location.
If the call fails: DO NOT REBOOT! Plug your phone into your computer, open a terminal or command line, run this command:
Code:
adb root
adb shell dumpstate -o /sdcard/CM_dumpstate.txt

Wait a few seconds after the first command, if you get "device not found" while trying to run the second command, wait longer and try the second one again.

The second command will take a long time, do NOT cancel it.

Now copy CM_dumpstate.txt from your SD-card, and PM me it. DO NOT POST IT IN THIS TOPIC!
I found my PSAP, but I don't see any non-emergency number in there. How do I find that? For orange county, ca, all i see is local police number.

If you have been following this you would know that FE has been working on some major changes and be sure he will resume nightlys as soon as possible.

I just haven't been starting CM9 nightlies, but started one just now, and I'll try to do them till the automated nightlies for CM9 are up.

The data switch in the notification pulldown doesn't work for me. Does anyone have a recommendation for a data widget from the market?
 
My battery seems to drain faster and faster with each nightly. Oddly enough, my phone seems to run smoother with each update. I did do a factory wipe and format system before this nightly. I have the same apps as when the nightlies started, but battery life was great. I have led notification off too. And suggestions on making it last longer? I'm not showing any wake locks with better battery stats either. Android system is only at 3%. Also, I never use titanium either, all apps fresh from the market.

    Please note that there may be intermittent emergency dialing issues and/or GPS/AGPS issues (including GPS daemon crashing, which does not restart) which could hinder location of you in an emergency.

    CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    Code:
    #include <std/disclaimer.h>
    /*
     * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear
     * war, or the current economic crisis caused by you following these
     * directions. YOU are choosing to make these modificiations, and
     * if you point your finger at me for messing up your device, I will
     * laugh at you.
     */

    This thread is for the development of CyanogenMod 9 nightlies for the Samsung Vibrant (aka SGH-T959), the Galaxy S 4G / Vibrant 4G (SGH-T959V) is not supported here. Nightlies are built each night with the very latest code, for this reason, they are extremely experimental and should be avoided by beginners and people who have important responsibilities tied to the usage of their phone.

    CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

    A: Yes.

    Q: I keep getting "Installation Aborted" error 7

    Q: When will the Linaro tweaks be merged?
    A: Don't know.


    The CyanogenMod team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

    [font=Calibri,Arial]How to Build[/font]​
    First initialize your build environment.

    Now follow the "installing repo" section in this guide:
    http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

    Now downloading CyanogenMod source:
    Code:
    mkdir ~/Desktop/CM9
    cd ~/Desktop/CM9
    repo init -u http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git
    repo sync -j24

    More setup:
    Code:
    . build/envsetup.sh
    breakfast cm_vibrantmtd-userdebug

    Getting proprietary files:
    You must have a copy of CM9 for the Vibrant running on your phone for this part.
    Code:
    ( cd device/samsung/vibrantmtd && ./extract-files.sh )

    Compiling:
    Code:
    mka bacon

    911

    Ok so here is my 911 experience. I live in Denver by the way, and I just emailed the 911 operations manager about doing a test call. She said that is fine just please do it between 8:30 and 11:30 as that is their lowest call volume.

    So the first time I called it clicked, hung up and disabled my entire cell signal. No signal no data nothing. So I rebooted my phone, and google voice informed me I had 2 missed calls from the Denver PD. I tried again and it worked perfectly. I explained I was testing a piece of software, the woman was very friendly said that was no problem and they wouldn't send anyone out. She also confirmed that all the E911 info came up properly on her screen.

    So I'm not sure what to make of this exactly. One time it did nothing though at least my number got through. The other time it worked great. I mean the first time could have been a glitch entirely unrelated to CM. Hard to say. It leaves me ambigious though. If I have a real emergency I really don't want to wait for the phone to reboot!
