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?

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

[Q] Lag Fix

Just installed the official gingerbread from samsung for my i9000.
Does anyone know what file system it has for the internal memory?
I have heard that it supports ext4.
Need a confirmation or I have to apply some lag fix.

Its rfs ( ext4 support should be somewhere). And there is no lag fix for it as there is no lag.
Does it lag for you ?
If you wanna change the fs try some custom kernel, for example fugumod, voodoo, speedmod etc.

Yeah it was lagging a bit on the first run but after a reboot it seems to be okay.
Anyway thanks for the info.

Doesnt matter it wont start lagging later . Thats why you can try the custom kernels. But as I said. you have time to test it how its now and change later.

Going to try this on the D3, its big in the fascinate world. May be worth a dev porting to the D3 specifically. I'm going to take the plunge though since we can do nandbackups.

From the thread post:
Whats inside:
changed partition mounts--- for less data corruption
patched sqlite's----IMPROVES I/O
honecomb 3.1 fugu mod-IMPROVES SCROLLING/RESPONSIVENESS
All new init.d files---PARTITION MOUNTS,CACHE,SYSCTL,KERNEL
Sysctl.conf----TWEAKS KERNEL AND I/O SCHEDULER
tweaked scaling governor----faster cpu performance
It has been reported to work on the Motorola Atrix, so that gives me hope for some additional improvements on the D3.

Worst that happens is a bootloop and then you just boot into recovery and restore /system and you're back in business

I looked throught the zip. It contains some files that the D3 doesnt have (or are in a different location). So some of the changes will probably do nothing.

Check out the newest from Hashcode. You can now restore from BP Tools. No need to flash and restore

The .zips fail to install so this won't work on our phones. Not without tweaking.
And that's been out for over a week. I updated my recovey thread with it last week.

I install the files inside the ZIP manually, it works out perfect and seems much smoother and with a better memory management now.

Did you do anything with the sysctl.conf and init.d?

Sorry for the delays... yes, as stated above, the zip files will not flash to the D3 (even though they do flash to the Moto Atrix??).
But you can definitely rip out files push them with Root Explorer or ADB commands. I haven't had time to mess with that but I may jump on it later today. Glad someone else tried and showed positive signs. That is encouraging.

I applied manually.
Don't notice any difference, really. But it may respond better to my finger. I'll have to run it for a few days.

Do we have init.d support? If not the init scripts probably wont do too much.

I snatched the files from the latest SteelDroid to enable init.d. However I also used the scripts from that rom as well as they include alot the same tweaks.
I discovered that the sysctl.conf tweaks have no affect. We dont seem to have access to those adjustments. Perhaps because of our stock kernel?

for you, if you have a stock kernel to enable init.d .....

[Q] ThunderBolt help!!

heyy guys i found the ThunderBolt 2.5.1 and followed the instructions for the installation. installed all the cwm.zips but now my fone freezes on kernel flash screen do yu know if i can reverse it or something?? plzz helpp. i have sgs i9000 running cm9 build16 on semaphore 0.8.1 kernel

Go to CWM, wipe data and flash rom and kernel again. Not all thunderbolt tweaks can be used on ics as they're made for GB.

I looked at pikachu's ThunderBolt thread and it says that only the main cwm works with ics for now. I am not sure what he means by "the main cwm", and it doesnt specify which ics, but states that ThunderBolt should work on all ROM without exception. Any suggestions?

He means the main script (thunderbolt 2.5.1, the one in first post). But LMK and I think it was screenstate scaling(both in second post) do also work on ics. And it's the same on all ics roms.

Theeeen how come it didnt work on mine? Maybe i did something wrong then? All i did is download the main cwm, reboot into recovery, mount everything (i.e /system, /data, /datadata, /sdcard, /emmc) then flashed the zip. Everything went well, but when i rebooted the system, it didnt go past the kernel flash screen (semaphore ics pic in my case)...

[KERNEL] [ICS] Arbiter 1.0 [OC 1.3GHz]

[font=Roboto,Arial]Arbiter[/font]
The Arbiter kernel is based on the teamhacksung Aries kernel (the stock kernel when you install CM9 on GS1-line phones). Support is only guaranteed for CM9. It appears to work on Team Nyx RC 5 and MIUI as well.
This is currently a baby kernel, it has one thing which is the OC right now. I'll add more stuff like more CPU governors later.. maybe.
Features
OC 1.3 GHz
More later...
Download
Latest 1.0 ---> Download here
MD5: b7747fbabe8d3b1dec668b5e1ce6e19e
Installation
Flash from CWM recovery.
Source
This kernel is 99% open source, you can grab the source off of GitHub from here, put it on your Linux box, and if you have the required dependencies, you should be able to just build.
Here's how to use the build script:
Code:
./build.sh # repackages (requires kernel to already be compiled)
./build.sh kernel # recompiles the kernel
./build.sh root # repackages ramdisk from staging/ramdisk/ into staging/ramdisk.img
./build.sh recovery # same as root above but repackages the recovery ramdisk instead
./build.sh root+recovery # does both of the above
I think you get the point. You can mix any of the above arguments by adding "+" in between. First time you run the build script you should pass "kernel" to compile the kernel, else the build script will fail because it's not compiled.
Thanks
Code:
* pawitp & teamhacksung
* sixstringsg for hosting
* Mr-Psycho cause I took a look at his kernel build scripts
P.S. This is not the Stock+ kernel me and creeve4 were making, this is forked from that kernel, and contains currently the same changes (OC) but this kernel is mine and will contain more changes later.

Changelog
Code:
1.0
* First version

Looking forward to whats to come xD
