Cyanogenmod 7 problem?

When I finished flashing cm7 on my crappy, I tried to reboot but it just sat at the "galaxy s cyanogenmod" screen for a good 30 minutes. I took out the battery and tried again but I got the same results. Any ideas? BTW I didn't disable lag fix before I flashed. Is that the problem? Thanks in advanced!

Sounds like a bad flash, try reflashing it. If I recall correctly, it changes the fs, so having lagfix enabled shouldn't be a problem, though in general it's good practice to disable lagfixes before flashing anything just to play it safe.
So try a reflash and, to quote atinm from the OP of the CM7 for captivate thread:

From what I read, CM7 requires ext4 to run and lagfixes are accomplished by converting over the filesystem from RFS to ext4. So if anything, having the lag-fixed enabled is what you are suppose to do. I wouldn't turn it off as that would mean converting the filesystem back to RFS, which is incompatible with CM7.

The early gingerbread ports (dual boot) required you to have an ext4 lagfix enabled, but CM7 for captivate as it stands now gives you a fresh filesystem either way. The only prerequisite for installing CM7 for captivate currently is a kernel with CWM recovery.

OK so I tried re-flashing, but this time when I flash the intital kernel and booted into (Orange) clockwork, its says at the bottom "E: no misc partition" . I continues flashing and got the same results. What now?

The error message happens to everyone and is a non issue.
Are you following the steps of formatting data, cache, system? Are you doing a factory reset after you flash the cm7 initial xxxxx zip?

I have not had any issues with it

ha! third times a charm! it worked!

Either you didn't follow the flash instructions correctly or something in your phone is preventing a successful flash. restore your phone to unrooted stock, and then re-root and try the install again. be sure you are doing exactly what the instructions say.

Thanks you guys

lagfix causing lag on overcome gold?

I upgraded from stock froyo to oc 2.0.0 gold.
Then I noticed some lags.
the worst were in the gallery app which had about one fps while thumbnails were loading and in maps when zooming in to a level where buildings are displayed and then I then scrolled. This totaly stalled the device for more than 10 seconds sometimes.
Then I disabled lagfix in recovery and now it feels like in froyo again, both maps and gallery (i have about 800 photos on the device so itcan be easyly reproduced.
I wanted to post it in the oc thread in dev section, but I do not have permissions to do so.
Any ideas?

any ideas of what if you already found the solution ? ... they have to work on it little bit more give them time , they will release an update so wait

For me my problems are solved, but isnt this the purpose of this forum to tell others?
I know that there were reports of lags but I dont remember someone pointing at lagfix to cause the lag.
Sorry if this was already known.

Your gallery will lag after a new rom, as it needs to build a cache first.
If you followed the instructions perfectly when flashing overcome you shouldnt have any lag

I followed the instructions 100%. Really pedantic.
After killing and restarting the gallary app the lag was back evrry time, rebooting didnt help either. It didnt seem to be a cache issue.
After disabling lagfix galary was fast right from the start.
also all other lags I noticed vanished.
I can turn lagfix back on and see what happens, my guess is that lags will come back.

The lagfix could be borking with the included tweaks, but you dont need the lagfix anyway

Yep, lagfix is a stupid name for a filesystem conversion anyway.
I admit I did not know what lagfix was until I tried to disable it, heard the robot voice and then checking via adb shell for mounted filesystems.
I have no problem with rfs and will stick to it for now.

are you using this kernel with overcome gold ? i really need to know the benefit cuz overcome also got the same kernel or am wrong ? thanks in advance

ok I converted back to ext4, tested and converted to rfs once more.
with ext4 gallery lags like hell, with rfs it is okay.
Strange..

you need to partition your sd-card via CWM and do a full wipe after that

CWM
I used MINITOOL to create partition ext4 on my sdcard... is it really required to partition sd in CWM....?

yes it is required, as my rom is using int2ext, and to be able to install some of the apps in the data folder it needs more space

Arent using partitioned sdcard and partitioning sdcard in cwm same?
