Here is the MTD version of CM7.2 Alpha9 !

As usual, you flash it at your own risk.

This ROM was compiled today with some changes in the CM sources : it includes some cherry-picks to solve the Issue 115 ? Unfortunately, I didn't have time to test if it's fixed.

See : http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/26204/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/26205/

How to flash
- You need to run CM7.2 Alpha9 and the original CM7 kernel!
- Reboot in recovery mode
- Make a backup of your current ROM. Warning, you will need to flash back CM7.2 Alpha9 BML via ODIN to be able to restore your backup. For now, it's not possible to restore BML backups on MTD kernel and vice-versa.
- Flash the CWM update package
= Your phone will reboot and start in recovery mode by itself. Then, the installation procedure will continue =

Notes :
- Your original efs partition will be copied in a new mtd/yaffs2 partition. The original partition is not mounted for safety.
- Your modem will be copied in the new efs partition
- The text color of the mtd recovery is green (it's blue in the BML recovery)
- Gapps are not included
- You need 500MB free on your sdcard

The CWM package includes a new kernel running at 800Mhz (with standard 667Mhz voltages), battery friendly and the charging speed is normal.
Bluetooth can be run with wifi (bugs in Alpha9 BML)

Known bugs
- Do not use undervolting, it need to be fixed

Important
If you want to go back to a standard ROM - with BML/FSR/STL's samsung drivers, always flash via ODIN.

Amazing! Downloading it now!

Thanks again!

Edit: I think it can be out of Alpha and it is the best one for daily use!

It is wonderful I haven't found any bugs yet and it is even faser than normal version overclocked to 1ghz. It can be a beta version I think :good:. But sometimes I miss 1ghz power (specially on games :))and as I understand I can't flash another kernel. Many thanks :good:.

Well still no openGLES 2.0 if you asked about it. As for camera it is working fine sometimes it force closes but we don't need to reboot it anymore :) and video quality is normal I think :)

Great work..

Thanks for this wonderful Rom...i think it has few bugs....
1.display colors ( like shading )
2.CPU setting ( i cannot access cpu setting in cyanogen mod settings { i don't want that anyway } )

but this Rom is awesome!!!!

i think you have changed vibration like froyo, it's nice, like butter....
internal storage available space more than 180mb, that's cool....
Rom's performance is also nice....

i need a help with mms.apk because i can't add more contacts at once, otherwise everything's good for me....
once again My big Thanks to you...:good:

marcellusbe Great God Hello, thank you for the new ROM, thank you for your hard work to pay for the new ROM.
Can you teach me a question this new ROM has no simplified Chinese version? There is no Chinese input method?
Flash this ROM, then if I want to replace the TF card I5800 phone still is not working?
I'm sorry, my English is not good, hope the above text you see to understand.

    So tried the ROM for a day.....

    *The battery is back normal for me.
    *The ROM is fast n cool!
    *No lags. NO fc's so far!
    *Can switch on bluetooth while wifi is on - as mentioned in the change log.

    Overall. One word. AMAZING!

    By the way, why didn't marcel apply for recognized developer (or) elite recognized developer ?? He deserves them more than many others with those titles!
    Should we recommend some admins about his awesome works to give RD/ERD title ?? What do u say guys??







    i will try
    but shudnt it support by default



    i did mention the same when alpha 9 BML was released
    i even contacted a mod for this title suggestion

    He deserves more than a title

    guys...just to answer on behalf for @marcellusbe
    He had an Recognized developer title a long long time ago and for a long time....BUT...as you can see...everyone who owns Android phone and can compile and decompile apk or make a rom.zip(zip roms yes) wannabe RD....but...he gave his title back to xda as he himself told us some time ago that it's not about title ....that's just a something peeps stick on to....he's real dev in real life....and title doesn't mean anything if you don't have knowledge base.....it's just ranking and how deep you are involved in xda thing.....the same goes for @tom3q which made a lot of things for g3(openfimg)....and he's a real life dev without title here as he doesn't need it to be recognized by some1 .....they already are recognized.....:D
    Some of you guys are new comers here hence you don't know what was going on 1 year back....yep...it was chaotic sometimes ...:p...and if i'm honest....I miss those days with @marcellusbe, @kyrillos13, @hillbeast, @Dharam_Maniar, and few others that helped even be4 I came here.....and made g3 so powerful as it is now....be4....it was a brick with Eclair Android 2.1 OS....<---lol wut:p?

    [Q] YAFFS2
    As i have realized, that yaffs2 is the fastest file system ever used on our phone, I would like to format /sd-ext aka /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 with yaffs2. Has anyone an idea if this is possible and how? Is there anywhere a mkfs.yaffs2 program compiled for our device? ....how did the kernel do this after going back to recovery and continuing the installation of MTD version? I had a look at the installation scripts but no conclusion beside that the mtdblocks are mounted -t yaffs2 after all... :(

    I think it's not possible to use yaffs2 with non-mtd block devices.

    look at the file updater.sh :
    Code:
        # write the package path to sdcard cyanogenmod.cfg
        if /sbin/busybox test -n "$UPDATE_PACKAGE" ; then
    PACKAGE_LOCATION=${UPDATE_PACKAGE#/mnt}
            /sbin/busybox echo "--update_package=$PACKAGE_LOCATION" > /mnt/sdcard/cyanogenmod.cfg
        fi
    
        # write new kernel to boot partition
        /sbin/bmlunlock
        /sbin/busybox dd if=/tmp/boot.img of=/dev/block/bml5 bs=4096
    
        /sbin/busybox sync
    
        /sbin/reboot recovery

    The file /mnt/sdcard/cyanogenmod.cfg contains an update command for the recovery.
    when recovery is started, it look at the file /mnt/sdcard/cyanogenmod.cfg and launch the command.

    I think @marcellusbe could explain where stl6 partition went....or maybe it was changed...tty to replace stl6 with stl7(data)...and see what comes out:)
    Sent fom my S-II running >>SlimBean build 6.2 WEEKLY<< :D powered with >>DorimanX kernel 9.30<<


    /dev/block/mtdblock1 mounted to /system (was /dev/block/stl6)
    /dev/block/mtdblock2 mounted to /data (was /dev/block/stl7)
    /dev/block/mtdblock3 mounted to /cache (was /dev/block/stl8)
    /dev/block/mtdblock4 mounted to /efs

    /dev/block/mmcblk0pX (external sd-card) stayed the same
