[PRJ] CM6 system 8/27/2010 ALPHA

Here is the CM6 system built last night by me. Go ahead and do whatever you want with it. This is for those having issues building. Here it is
www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/froyo.tgz
This is not a ready to flash ROM but just the system folder from the CM6 build for people to play with.
This is for devs looking to play with CM6 which was compiled for the vibrant and not just a generic build. This is NOT A READY TO FLASH ROM. I just built went to sleep and threw this up for people.
Enjoy!

can we flash this through odin? pda?

The CyanogenMod Wiki Full Update Guide for the Samsung Vibrant
The CyanogenMod wiki has the instructions for the Full CM6 update. I am unable to post the link since I am a new member! I haven't flashed the ROM since I just got my phone last night.

Where was that indicated? There are only two how-tos on the Wiki for CM6 of relevance for Galaxy S/Vibrant: building the CM6 kernel from source, and updating the Galaxy S/Vibrant to CM6. However, the "Full Update Guide" includes the following caveat: NOTE: As of right now CyanogenMod is not available for the Samsung Vibrant.
There are no full instructions on the wiki for building CM6, nor for truly updating a Vibrant since CM6 has not been built for the Vibrant. You will also not find even an alpha release, nor any nightlies.
For those who don't understand why this is the case, or why flashing a ROM through Odin is different than through the recovery console, it's probably best to wait until there is a "one-click" for you ...

so many people are going to download this without realizing that this is for development only and not even for use yet

I semi understand that stuff but know my limits... But a huge THANKS!!! to those who do!!!
Patiently waiting for "one-click"....

Sorry if you took that as a genuine offer of advice, but it was meant as a sarcastic retort. People who don't understand what is technically involved in "rooting", what it means to "mount" a device or where the line between Linux and Android lays really have no basis in asking for aid when things go awry. (Sorry if I offend you, but seriously, you're asking for help in a development thread without knowing about which what you're actually asking for help? Really? Seriously?!)
No one has created a reliable method to fully supplant the Vibrant's recovery console, the OTA package that is normally used to flashed Android devices cannot be properly compiled and packaged for the Vibrant, users are still having issues building an AOSP directory structure—let alone a truly usable boot.img—and a complete system replacement is expected?! It really is no wonder why those really building apps and systems for various Android platforms avoid XDA, and leave it to those merely "cooking" as was previously the standard with WinMo.
(When is the interrobang going to be finally accepted as a true form of punctuation?! Really?!)

nice work, seems like a lot of devs are finally on this

People don't stay away from XDA because of the sometimes foolish questions people ask. They stay away because of the way they get treated by pompous d*cks like you that have no tolerance for people trying to learn and enjoy their devices more.
Everyone starts out without a clue and without help from others we'd all still be drooling on ourselves and sh*tting in our diapers.
Grow up and help out... or just go away.

What Rom?

What rom is everybody running?
I got my phone on sat.
Love it

ugh, step 1) read stickies... this does not belong in development
step 2) read through the options you have (basically SRE, UTB, and SuperStock right now) and if you aren't going to take the time to read them, hold off on flashing until you know what you're doing

go for it. things are very solidly organized (there's even a specific section just for asking questions).
there are explanations of what this forum section is for (the development/hacking of android on the captivate and how to use the developments). If you want some advice on what's the general preference, look at general (where I believe this conversation is already happening with a topic titled "UTB vs SRE") or Q&A.
You should also read about the potential ROMs you're looking at (SRE, UTB, SuperStock) in their respective threads. There is no "This is the best ROM that everyone likes so use that" thread because the options are still relatively young and you have to decide which tool you want to use the most.
If you find reading the threads for what the ROM or tools do too difficult, then maybe modifying this device isn't for you right now. There's nothing wrong with asking questions (specifically in the threads of the various tools/ROMs) just place them in the right place. Your question has nothing to do with development, and that's all I'm asking

ok thank you on a side note is there any rom that has everything 100% working

Seriously the potential of anyone really answering your question on here is a joke. Don't get me wrong, but I've seen ppl post things 5 or six times (in Rom or kernel) threads and if they are lucky enough to get a answer they are told to search the forums and when they do they just run into other threads where people are told to guess what...search the forums. So its just a endless cycle until you just forget about it and move onto another ROM or kernel.

To the best of my knowledge, every tool out there has everything working 100%... AOSP isn't out yet (which already has said they're having trouble with bluetooth, camera, GPS, and data) and SuperStock has supposedly spotty wifi and data.
Your two major options right now are SRE and UTB, both of which are only modifications to the stock ROMs so everything is working. SRE provides more options and more customizations and UTB hasn't been updated in a while, though they're both valid options.
Personally, I'd suggest using SRE and going to that thread and reading up on your options

Yes and no.
The ROM on your phone is the official release - all others are dev builds. This includes the captivate ROMs and i9000 ROMs. Newer captivate builds fix a few things, but you lose tethering and maybe a few other things.
The i9000 builds all require the Captivate kernel, so some things don't work right.
Again, you need to read the threads on the different ROMs and decide for yourself.

I think i'm running jh3? I can't remember which. haha.
I lied, I guess i'm running jf6 still... Don't remember that happening.

Personally, I'm running jf6 (stock), rooted, metamorph minimalistic theme (tweaked a little to my personal liking), and adw (to customize even more). I've tried jm2, jm5 (both with samset on top), and jh2. Never tried froyo because I need my phone to work and it has too many known bugs.To me, a rooted, customized, stock ROM is the best because it give you less problems and sideloading through adb is easy. Also tried the lag fixes but other than the Quadrant scores, I couldn't tell too much of a real world difference so I took them off. I never had any GPS issues with jf6 so maybe I'm lucky.

[Q] Froyo ROM, which one's right for me>

I hope my question helps those of us that are not so sure of ourselves.
I have a AT&T Captivate and have finally learned how to root the device. I had no desire to do this, but I find with the articles I've read that FROYO 2.2 really speeds up the system and helps cure many other aliments. I also am amongst the many who really have waited a long time for AT&T/Samsung to release this for this phone, did I mention waited a loooong time
For 2 days now I have read soooo many articles regarding FROYO 2.2 and all the instructions involved. SpeedMod kernel is one I thought would work, then as I read I wasn't so sure anymore. It's way to difficult and I feel like I'm going to destroy my phone if I look away for a second while following steps 1 -44. (yea I know, not that many steps but it sure looks that way!)
Can anybody recommend a Samsung Galaxy S/AT&T Captivate i897 (ROM? Kernel? What's the difference) that is simple to install, stable and easy to remove if necessary. Vids would be nice, but clear instructions would suffice.
Thanks way in advance, Tomween1
I hope this opens doors to those of us incapable of what many take for granted,

Everything you see on the Captivate dev forum installs the same way. To put it simply for you follow these steps please. You can trust me, I have put out 2 ROMS, support them day and night and would never do anything to harm your device.
1. DL the update.zip attached to this post.
2. move the update.zip to your "Internal" SD card
3. DL the ROM of your choice and also put that on your "Internal" SD card.
4. Reboot into recovery. There are a few ways.
a. Three button recovery(power off device, hold the volume up+down while powering on the device. Once you see the ATT screen, release the power button but continue to hold the volume up+down. Choose install zip from sd card and choose the update.zip. Your phone will now reboot, again, choose install from sd card and choose your ROM. it will now install and reboot your phone. Enjoy your new ROM!
b. Use adb to get into recovery and follow the same steps as above.
Kernels and modems work the same way as mentioned above just go a lot quicker. If you have any other questions please askk so you don't ruin your device, just please post in the Q&A.

These are popping up everyday. I wish you luck in your journey but this belongs in q&a. Development is for developers.

Ah this is the key. first, what is the update.zip you want me to install. Second, the ROM to choose is the conundrum. Which is the best to use. Can you suggest the best and cleanest one?

The update.zip is Clock work recovery. You need it to flash a custom ROM. Also, it depends on what you want your ROM to do. I put out Phoenix(very popular) and FireFly(getting more popular) I won't say if mine are any better than the rest as myself and the other devs spend countless hours making these for your enjoyment. Great thing about the Captivate is that it is very easy to just flash another ROM should you not be happy with your current configuration. Any other questions you have please either PM or post in the Q&A.

OK so currently I have Superuser Permissions, ROM Manager and Titanium backup installed, Do you still feel I need Clock work recovery?
Also could you link both of the ROMs you've mentioned. My trust is in those that are willing to help. I would like to start with yours.
Tom

Thread moved to Q&A.

I would strongly tecomend buging the Pro version of Titianium Backup. If you have a ton of apps and games like I do, with the Pro version its a 1 click restore process where as the free version you have to install everything individually like you where just getting it from the Market! Gets old fast installing 100+ things that way!

As far as what ROM to choose. It's a matter of personal choices. If you look @ the 1st post (OP) of any of these [ROM] threads it will list the characteristics of each. I understand @ 1st it maylook like garble but if you scroll down you will fins app names and such. Also many of them have posted screen shots of the particular ROM.
I suggest find a cpl that you like and flash them all. I spend a day or two on each one to get a feeling on how my battery life is and any bugs that come up. Most bugs will be listed in the 1st few post of a thread.
So just find what your needs are and your styling and flash away!
You can find the links to the ROM's that I'm currently/recently used in my Sig. Only thing not listed there is the Theme I'm using for Firefly 1.5. Which is Generation X. That can be found on the Phoenix site. You can find a link to that in Adam's sig
Happy Flashing!

How can i determine if I already have ClockworkMod installed? When i click on ROM manager it says Flash ClockworkMod Recovery as the very first action and under that it says Current Recovery: ClockWorkMod 2.5.1.2

I believe that if you have ROM Manager installed then CWM is also.
I don't have ROM Manager on my device @ the moment but I think that it's the 2nd option. Something to the tune of Currently Installed Version.
Also you can scroll down that list and simply Reboot into Recovery mode from that menu. See what comes up for your Recovery Manger

[Q] Andromeda 2.0 issue

i have no clue where to post this and have searched, so....... Q & A seems like to place to start. i just flashed this rom from dead stock. seems like most apps i try to use on my captivate now get a FC. not with a notification but a series of buzzes. on Super one click root it says im rooted. i did have to enter SU and tell it to allow setcpu but now things like titanium backup i get a blank screen and then a series of buzzes and it exits that app.
please help me or slap me in the right direction.
Bill

You can post questions in the the Andromeda thread in the developers section. It sounds like you got a bad flash. I'd suggest using ondin to go back to stock, do a master clear, then reinstall 2.0. I've yet to see anyone have this many problems with Andromeda so it's bound to be a bad flash.

where to begin?
sounds like the first problem is you tried to root this rom...its already rooted. secondly, setcpu is a bad idea on a kernel that doesnt support overclocking or undervolting. sounds like you need to reflash and DONT restore ALL data from Tibu. just restore missing apps+data

Ok. I will reflash. As far as the rooting thing. I noticed that SU was already there but something came up that said I wasn't rooted. I tried SICR. And after a bit of fighting it, it said I was already rooted. ...........

[Q] Cyanogen Mod 7.1

Hi this is my first post. Im really sorry if Im posting this again and if I am just tell me to delete it and point me to the correct one.
So i want to install the Cyanogen mod 7.1 that was released yesterday onto my HTC incredible s. however since i have only just had it around a month i know very little about android rooting and how to do it.
My question is what guide should i use? is this the cyanogen mod good. i cna tpost it here it wouldnt let me.
if so i know doing so will void my warrenty and so is it like jailbreaking where all you have to do is restore to stock firmware?
Update: installed using this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide
worked like a charm
thank you very much.

welcome to the forum. just remember, this forum is chock full of great info. when you have a question, more often then not your question has already been asked. always use the search button first to reduce clutter
this phone is one of the easiest phones to root. just head here. voila. that's it.
yes, cm7 is THAT good. definitely worth it. fast and prob the best battery life out of all the roms.
you can always get the phone back to it's original state for warranty purposes. always a good idea to do a backup immediately after you root.
have fun.

ok thank you very much. Does the guide on the CyanogenMod website include how to restore to stock if you have to send your phone in?

i don't think so. that info is, however, readily available in this forum. just do a search
come to think of it, i think all you have to do is revert to the stock rom that you just backed up after rooting. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

Does anyone also know if the root method for the HTC incredible S is temp? Does that mean you cant turn off your device? I'm confused.

no, it's not temporary. it will stay rooted until you unroot and return the device to stock/original state. why don't you try it out? it will be a good way to familiarize yourself with rooting, backing up, and restoring.

Hearing of the release of CM7 got me finally around of rooting my phone. This forum offers great tutorials and I managed to root is fairly easily. After rooting I was also asked wheter I wanted to flash CWM and I answered yes. Everything went OK and I was able to try CM7 after 30 minutes or so. The most time consuming operation was creating backup with CWM recovery.
But my opinion about CM7 isn't good. While I like the the effects and other neat customisation possibilities 3 thing turn me off.
First, I really love HTC's phone or dialler application which helps me find contacts by entering their number or trying to type their names. This is the single most useful thing invented on a telephone. As CM7 doesn't support that (only enterning numbers as far as I know) I will not use it.
Second, I wasn't able to connect to Exchange server for some reason
Third, Android Market shut itself down after 10 seconds and repeatedly kept doing that.

PS. I would have liked to post this info to developers forums, but as I don't have rights, I couldn't.

The markets fixed by going in to language settings and selecting English again.
Exchange worked fine for me...
Download another dialer application..
I'd choose double the speed, battery life and ram any day over sense

lets not start cm7 vs sense. this thread will never end really, it comes down to individual preference and that's not something we can argue.
cm7 isn't prefect but it's close, imo.

Please recommend a dialer app and I will give it a try Dialer One maybe?
Thanks for the market tip.

no, it's not temporary. it will stay rooted until you unroot and return the device to stock/original state. why don't you try it out? it will be a good way to familiarize yourself with rooting, backing up, and restoring.

sounds good. and there are guides in the dev forum if you need some assurance.

Cannot download anything from the Market for unknown reason. The download bar just scrolls endlessly.
E: Restart helped. Everything seems to be working just fine. Will give an estimate of battery usage in a few days time. And will test out Skype as well.

I feel as though the guides here need to be updated current one is from June. Not complaining just sayin is all.

Yes, they could use some tweaking.

Unable to sign in to Skype. Forums aren't very helpful too.

Yeah I think they need updating. From what I can work out the root for the HTC IS is not temp but the guide says it is?

Well I think the HTC incredible S was a temp root but from what I can work out and what you have and others have said it is not. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to tonight.
