[Q] Anyone try JM7 (i9000 eclair) yet?

JM7 is the latest Eclair build for the Galaxy S (not the captivate)
Wondering if BT works and if Sync Schedule for Exchange is there - the biggest things wrong with previous i9000 builds.
Thanks for any info.

bluetooth will most likely not be functional with a captivate kernel since it's the kernel that controls that, the ROM just chooses how to interface with it. since they weren't designed to be used together, they probably won't "just work" together without heavy kernel modifications.
as for exchange, couldn't tell you (don't have any exchange accounts)

The Froyo build is working with BT. And the BT chip should be the same between devices, so I am not convinced BT won't work.

They also use the same wireless radios yet the fmradio app doesn't work even with the i9000 kernel. We also have the same gravity sensor/accelerometer, yet that doesn't work properly either. It's more than just kernel. It's a combination of the rom, the kernel, and hardware access. Considering these are issues specific to running software not designed to work with the captivate, they will likely never be fixed by samsung so a new rom won't make them magically work.
As for bluetooth working on froyo, it works in eclair too for pairing, just isn't fully functional with audio

OK, let me clarify as i am hoping for experiences not speculation -
BT audio for phone calls works fine in Froyo with a captivate kernel according to reports but not in previous Eclair builds - has anyone tried BT audio in JM7?

I would love to know where you say someone said "BT audio works fine in froyo with a captivate kernel."
we have no captivate kernel compatible with froyo. when you flash a froyo build, you're using the i9000 kernel because there are no captivate ROMs available yet. if you try using the eclair captivate kernel in the froyo i9000 ROM, your phone will not even boot (have to fix through download mode)

My typo -I know the kernel is specific to the version. - i have not tried a Froyo build yet - but the fact is Froyo BT works for audio as reported in other threads. So it is not unthinkable that Jm7 could have working BT Audio on our Captivate.
Again, all i am asking for is if someone has any first hand knowledge, not speculation. I know what the older versions have as I have tried those - just tired of flashing ROMs for now.

I'm wondering the same thing, I asked in the thread discussing the ROM as well as several other people, but it's the one question that has not been answered once, let alone 700 times
I don't think it works, but I think we're more likely to be able to get this from the i9k rom to put in to JI6 than we were to put it into one of the Eclair ROMs. That's just my 2 cents, but i'm no coder.

[Q]GPS problem

I am using the Dark Knight 5.5 ROM with the Devil2_0.94 kernel. I enjoy it but it has a few fatal issues for me:
The GPS doesn't work. At all. I tried A Darky's ROM and it didn't work there either. Tried a lot of GPS-fixing apps. Still no luck. Any tips?
If these issue are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).
Thanks in advance

try again to reinstall this ROM.
I have the big problem with the sound. It doesn't work!!! I always have Silence mode for ringtone and alarm. If i choose the any sound, it works, but after the reboot nothing.
I try to use external software for example Rings Extended but nothing.

If these issues are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which almost everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).

I tried it but I don't like...

This is how I always trouble-shoot my GPS problems.
1. make sure gps.conf ntp server is changed to match your country.
2. try a few different modems.
3. turn gps off then on in each test. sometimes my GPS doesn't work first time (in this case there will be no sats showing in gpstest)
Make sure you are in a open area and use angrygps or gpstest to see how many sats you are getting and whether they are locking.
When I flashed ICS I couldn't get any lock until I changed modem (currently using JV5 from the latest JW6 rom. But I also got it to work fine with JVU.

Got bad GPS experience with GB and ICS. With ICS there was almost no sats visible (tried CM9 based ROMs TWICS and Remics-UX). I got best results with Darky ROM 9.5.

how to go back to 2.2 from 4.0.4

I am using offiicial 4.0.4 ICS with patched bootloader and rooted .I have used it for a long time and its slow .I want to go back to 2.2...I have old nandroid backups of 2.2 done with cwm 5.8.1.3 ......now ICS has version 6.0.1.4 ....so can i restore my old backup from this version....and I think I also have to put old bootloader....does anyone have old bootloader flashable from cwm .....or SFT is the only way

You can use other ROMs..like IZS, this also is on android 4..but it's very stable and fast, give it a try ... hmm and about 2.2, many apps don't support android 2.2, just 2.3 or up

Yes I downgraded with SFT and can't download subway surfer etc and even smart launcher gives problem when i change themes ,,,I am loosing a couple of things ...But my phone works good now. 2.3 has it's own issues...IZS is ICS(after a long term use it gets slow) I haven't tried IZS though....I think the OS that comes with the phone is always stable and best...rest all big upgrades are just for name sake. 2.2 is what the phone was launched with and its the most stable working OS till date for p970
I just have to make a choice now between stability and support.

Not exactly true.. most modifications to stock ROMs are greater..because are based on the stock ROM, and brings modifications to make the ROM more powerful than stock version
Try Zeus if you like 2.3..it is based on stock 2.3 but it is a lot faster,stable than stock ROM.. just 1 thing i don't like to Zeus, the keyboard..but you can flash another one(I like the gingerbread stock)

Heux ROMS are derived from stock ROMS and tweaked for performance...so they also the same bugs that stock have.I have already tried zeus rom long time back...in hope that it will solve the bug of stock 2.3..but it was the same
following are 2 major issues of 2.3
1)using handsfree when you try to switch songs it does not work and most of the times it wakes the phone...you can see the screen lit up even if you have locked the phone.
2)DLNA is broken ....some of the stereo music file just keeps buffering and hangs the phone.....
LG broke this very badly and did not fix in 2.3 even when i reported it in service station.....
issue #1 is there in ICS also ...and #2 is fixed in ICS
#2 is just a fancy feature for me as I don't use it and can live with it.
#1 is bad can't live with it......but from ICS I have learnt how to compile kernels just to fix this issue and know how to fix this handsfree issue.....I am planning to build 2.3 kernel with the fix ....but i don't know it will fix the screen wake up issue or not.....I just have to try it.
Now I have flashed stock 2.3 and subway surfer can be downloaded and works better than ICS ...lags only once in starting and then smooth.and smart launcher has no issues.....2.3 is actually smoother than 2.2

The screen turn on-off is OK but I want the handsfree to work...I switch songs with handsfree button and now when i do it it just stops the player instead on changing song...that's irritating....
OK and screen on-off bug is fixed in ICS but handsfree song switching is not fixed.....

Who said handsfree doesnt work? I play songs on my Nokia BH-503 and always switch songs using the handsfree. Also the pause play work flawlessly along with volume adjustment buttons as well. The screen wake is temporary as well maybe lasting for just 5 seconds. Check You handsfree maybe?

android version 2.2 has handsfree working perfectly .....
Lg broke in starting 2.3 and above...
I have fixed it in 4.0.4 by fixing the headset driver taking reference from 2.2 source code....
See my thread below...This patch also has headset driver fix...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184519
I am going to take 2.2 driver and put it in 2.3 and compile it to fix it.....
But i want arm-eabi-4.4.3 toolchain to compile it...and could not find it ...
There are some links which give this but as a combination with other toolchains ...but i have low bandwidth.
so can anyone provide me link to only arm-eabi-4.4.3 alone...
there's also 4.4.0 mentioned in readme ...so its really confusing ....but can try both....
link for 4.4.0 and 4.4.3 if some has ...I will try searching again on google..
I want to fix it at kernel level hence not interested in the apps...as this is supposed to be default feature of OS...which Lg broke....
=====from readme of kernel
2. Kernel Build
(1) Untar using following command at the android folder (./android/kernel)
$ tar xvfz P970_BDop_GingerBread_v20o_KERNEL.tar.gz
(2) Set the compile environment
- gcc 4.4.3
- Ubuntu 10.04.1
- export PATH=$PATH:/android_path/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/
("android_path" should be android path name in your system.)
(3) Run the script, "envsetup.sh" in the android folder.
$ cd android
$ ./build/envsetup.sh
(4) Execute make
- move to the kernel folder and execute make
$ cd kernel
$ make sniper_rev_a_emmc_defconfig ARCH=arm
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<android_path>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- zImage
("android_path" should be android path name in your system.)
- If the kernel is built sucessfully, you will find the build images in this directory,
"kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage"

Nokia BH-503 is Bluetooth....I am using wired hands-free that's comes with the phone...so it must be working for you......
Bluetooth and headset drivers are different....

finally got the kernel booting and also fixed the headset issue..by taking heaset driver from 2.2 ...
But now it wakes phone whenever song is changed by headset.the bug is lg's mp3 player .
If you use a different mp3 player then the phone will not wakeup.....
I tried to change mp3 player with the old one from 2.2 android.....but it does not work.Don't know why lg did this.....
but i am using it for my own benefit because my power button does not work most of the time....
if anyone wants to try i have attatched the kernel....it's not fancy just headset fix....
https://github.com/rajeshmk2011/lg_p970_gingerbreadkernel.git

fixed my power button and also speaker by following the info in below link......you have to put some more pressure on those parts...I use two three layers
