First off, this is VERY early beta, nightly build test stuff...
There are many bugs, gps doesn't work.
Thanks to Cyanogen and team.
Thanks to Aery for the compiled build.
Thanks to glitterballs for the kernel.
I take not credit for this, except putting it together in a single flashable zip for you guys.
If you don't know what CyanogenMod is, you should probably sell your android device and get an iPhone
This is flashable thru clockworkmod / rom manager.
Flash Cognition first, enable voodoo, boot up completely, then flash this.
Have fun guys...

edit* FASTTTT!!!!111 feels very responsive, I had to flash the google apps zip from the cmi9000 thread to get market working but its good now.
I am the most butthurt person right now. I just went through an hour of work getting the i9000 version installed. Imma cry now.
Are you gonna be working on it to fix stuff that dont work or you just posted a cw flashable zip?

Nice work DG! As eugene says, community = progress.
Ehh...just thought I'd ask, but you didn't just drop the kernel into a zip right? There is a step where /data /dbdata etc are converted from RFS to ext4 right?
I would try this right now if my internal SD wasn't out of space. Looking forward to this!

What worked for me.
One click to stock, boot up and master clear.
Odin to jpm, then installed sentiron's kernel (using sheps jpm rom might work too)
Used the sentiron kernel to load DG's CM6.1 rom file.
For those of us in a 850 megahertz area this didnt work for me. I think I needed to start with jg8 modem...

Have you had 850 working before? You need to enable 850 before Odin to JPM.
How can you enable it before JPM?? Every time I've tried accessing that particular setup on a non i9000 it won't let me in. That's why I stopped messing with them.

Look around man, there have to be at least a half dozen i9000 ROMs where people are successfully using the 850 band. If I recall you had to enable it on JI6 or maybe it was JG8. I only had to do it once and it was...a month or so ago by now.
This seems super snappy! But, why is there no Market app?
Also FYI, after first boot it would not recognize my external SD card until I ejected it and replaced it.
I have heard that the new cm7 is faster because it uses ext4 for the system. And I was wondering if it was possible to do the same thing with cm6? And I am not sure how it is able to do this in the first place. I get that I can format my sdcard as ext4 and make it faster..... but how can a rom I flash format my system partition to a different file system? And how can I add this to my cm6 build until cm7 has all the features I am hooked on?
I know this is a noob question.... but that's why I am posting in the general section.... lol
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Cm7 has all the features and more that cm6 had. Just upgrade.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
I would love to.... But unfortunately it doesn't. I am still waiting for the ability to set up each screen rotation setting individually like in cm6. Right now you can't enable 180 degree rotation without enabling all 3 directions of screen rotation. Or you can disable screen rotation all together.... those are the only options. And widgets take to long to redraw when 90 and 270 degree rotation is enabled. Especially since it usually happens when I didn't want it to... or it stops first at 90 then goes to 180....
So they are not All there.... but also I was just trying to understand how the system format to ext4 works.
I have also tried to ask how I could go about adding that rotation features in my self but I can't get anyone to point me in the right direction on that either......
So, can anyone help?

That would really be too bad.. I see know reason not to add them back. But that leads me back to my original two questions.
1) can some one explain how the system is formated to ext3/ext4 during a rom flash. And how I might be able to implement this in a modified version of CM6.
2) Since I don't want to bug CM with requests for features and ETA's.. Can some one point me to some info on how to port features from one rom to another? I have searched and found a lot of info but I could use some help narrowing it down to what I actually need for my purposes. Thanks for your help
Wouldn't the ext upgrade be in recovery?? Because when using Amon RA recovery with other phones, not ours as he doesn't make a recovery for us vision.. you had the option to upgrade from ext2 ext3 ext4. And I think before the latest clockwork was release, we had to use 3.x to flash gingerbread as it only supported ext4. And 2.5.x was only ext3 right?? I don't know if I'm making sense or in the right track..

Those options are are referring to the file system format of the sd-ext partition if you have one. CM7 apperently formats the actual system to ext4 now... or otherwise called mmcblk1p25.... I think....

Use wipe data/cache (factory reset ) option in CWM . Make sure you install a rom after that
Just do wipe data from cwm recovery and flash the new rom. If im not wrong you only have to flash ext4 patch for an ext4 rom but not the other way around. Tbh i didnt find any major difference between ext3 and ext4.
Thanks Guys i thought as much but wanted to make sure. No i never noticed any major differences between them but i want to flash Honeysense 4.0 when it's uploaded and it's ext3. Gotta love Honeysense!!! Big ups to Samuel!!!!! Just a few more posts then i can post on the dev area's of the forum. Silly rule!
Haha me too. Got what i think is a bug in tb fusion rom so trying to get my posts up so i can post it in the dev forum. Might give honeysense a go actually while the bug gets fixed.
Honeysense is quite good
but im waiting for the EXT4 version now.. please come out tonight

A question from me, so if coming from ext 4 you just do a full wipe in CWM (system, data, cache and then factory reset) then install the ext 3 ROM.
But what if your on ext 3 and want to try a ext 4 ROM what is the procedure ?

This is not true! This is not concern SD card.
If you use EXT 4 in your phone, for example using rom ARHD 5.1.11 which is build on EXT 4 , your device will work much better, and SD card stay untouch.
So does the ext4 format speed up the usage or not? AND is it noticeable or not?
Because in nearly every update for roms they write speed improvements, but I don't really notice them.

I think the speed improvements are quite minimal but noticeable, after formating everything to ext4, i noticed a smoother handling.
So why not trying out and test a little bit? It works, dont worry The newest LordMOD UE Kernel for example has many ext4 patches inclusive.
Sry for my bad english =)
Forgot to say: I use CM #108 with LordMOD UE 4.5.1 Kernel and newest Radio, works like a charm

Every recovery has a kernel in it. It needs that to work properly. The kernel inside of it though can be different then the one you use with Android.
Seems to work perfectly. Thanks!

Haha as long as you wont be using your 3g radio in recovery you'll do fine blazingwolf reports that the nandroid features are broken so be aware of that

I'm with this guy, though I must say that I appreciate the effort from randomblame. Following the rules and doing things properly leads to things that WORK properly. Thor's roms and recovery have issues, however useful they may be.
Great!
I have other android devices and was turned off by some people in the a500 community not following the law (by not complying with software licenses). I thought XDA had a policy about that, but maybe it is not applied to everyone.
As a software developer my self (mainly non-android) I was shocked by the actions of those parties breaking the law.
It is great to see people stepping up to fix the problem. Thanks for your work.
EDIT: I see people are removing thor's links from forum posts. Thats good. I remember seeing several over the past 6 months, maybe I saw them before they were removed. It is good to see people taking piracy seriously.

OK, so the debate over partitioning in CM10 is all but done and I'm not going to discuss it here.
I've been building CM10 for my own use with the partition layout change reverted and this works nicely for me. But what about people who can't compile the source for themselves (for whatever reason)?
That's why I'm posting this brief guide to what I'm calling "fudgedating" (its like updating). Using the method below you will be able to stay up to date with all the CM10 nightly updates (except kernel changes) without compiling or doing anything difficult.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING
I'VE TESTED THIS WITH CM10 NIGHTLIES FROM 23082012 & 22082012 BUT IF IT FAILS TO WORK FOR YOU THEN I'M SORRY, THAT'S LIFE. RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & MOVE ON
What you'll need:
1. My cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip file (my nightly that has a working kernel with the old partition layout)
2. Any current Nightly zip of CM10
3. A computer with a Zip-capable archive tool
What you need to do:
1. Make a copy of cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip and call it something like CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip
2. delete the /system folder from within CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it)
3. extract the /system folder from your official CM10 Nightly
4. add that /system folder to your CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it)
Now you have a CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it) containing the kernel and partition layout from cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip and the system from the CM10 Nightly.
Copy CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it) to your SD card and flash it in CWM.
Reboot & profit
NOTE: currently you can NOT flash any custom kernels because there aren't any that support the latest CM10 while still having the old partition layout.
Whenever you want to repeat the process for a new Nighly, just do steps 2,3 & 4 again and flash it as before.
Please don't flame this thread. If you think its a bad idea then please state only technical objections to support your view.
All credit to Team Hacksung & Pawitp for the awesome effort that continues to go into CM10.
Well... old partition nightlies worked very good for me.So I will try this.
Anyway I noticed there are some jb ROMs with less changes than yours calling theirselfs stable so far etc.
Will you make thread of cm10 (or call it like you want) with old partition and newest nightly?
Thanks. Sorry for poor English.

That's good to know. I think we both must have phones with the faster NAND because I didn't see any improvement when the official partition layout changed.

A rom more in line with the Slim Bean philosophy (about 280mb system with google apps) would even allow you to create a larger datadata partition (at the expense of unused system partition space, circa 80mb) and improve usability. Using this mind-frame i guess we could gain some 50mb to datadata while still keeping 30mb free in system for people who want to add some removed system apps.
Nevertheless, this is your rom and ultimately your decision.

Its a good idea & perfectly possible. Pawitp just asked for some chip id data in the CM10 thread. It looks like lags could be associated with phones having the older Samsung MoviNand chip. Newer devices have a Sandisk iNand (same as Nexus S). I have the Sandisk so that's why the new partition layout made no difference to me. I'm not sure that increasing datadata would help. I don't use it because I don't see any gain in practice.
