CyanogenMod 7 for Nexus S - Running on Captivate [Unstable/Alpha]

I have got CM7 to boot on my Captivate using some of the same methods used to boot the stock Gingerbread ROM. I have had a lot of questions about it, so I figured I would post what I did in one location and once I (and others) start to play more, findings can be posted here.
I take credit for nothing... All I did was switched around a couple files to boot CM7 instead of GB.
Requirements
You must be root on your phone
Your /data must be converted in Ext4 by Voodoo lagfix or another Ext4 lagfix.
You must have proceed to complete backups before
Some busybox installation is also useful for tar.
Another Important note
Be absolutely 100% sure you have access to the download mode using the 3 buttons combination.
If you don't, it will be extremely difficult (even if in theory not impossible) to to flash another kernel back.
Steps:
1: Download CM7 dump to SDCARD:
2: Run the following via ADB
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data
mkdir gingerbread
cd gingerbread
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/CM7.tar.gz
busybox cp -a /efs efs
sync
reboot recovery
3: Flash attached "I9020_reoriented_alpha_1223.zip" via CWM Recovery
Watch CyanogenMod 7 boot on your phone!
How do I get back?
This is a dual-boot setup... Everything is still intact that you were running before this.
All you have to do is download and flash your previous kernel via ODIN. Once you do this, the phone will reboot into Froyo. Simply reinstall the I9020_reoriented_alpha_1223.zip and your back on CM7 again, just like you left it. MAGIC!
What's about this port:
- It uses the Nexus S kernel compiled from sources by supercurio that has been reoriented for the Captivate by xcaliburinhand
- It runs the exact /system image release, that I pulled from a CM7 alpha .zip file posted in the NS forums.
Which filesystem?
This is simply a mod of supercurio's early gingerbread preview, so it runs on Ext4. no RFS at all, the kernel don't support RFS.
Does everything work ?
No; will update as I discover more of what does and doesn't work.
KEEP IN MIND
CyanogenMod ROMs do not come with any Gapps and using this method, you will not be able to access CWMrecovery to flash the Gapps files floating around. I hope to have an answer to getting Gapps installed with ease by late tonight.
For now; I'm going back to work,
Thanks for all the devs who did this hard work in such a short period of time... please donate to them. I have contributed nothing thus far!

please report anything not working with this rom.

Uploading files to cut down on the amount of directions... had to manually add AT&T APN, but I was getting good network upload/download and voice... haven't tried much more than that, just got it booted about 2am last night and had to go to work at 8am... so I flashed back to GB; will be right back on this as soon as I get home this evening.

More than likely... anything not working on Gingerbread won't be working here either... these ports are going to be using the same kernel, for now.

What modem did you use?

I have been using JK4....
...Download links are live!

The dump will have the look and the feel. The kernel is like the engine.

Pretty sure they moved to the nexus s kernel source and just bolting mods on now, breaking stuff on the way...
We have full source for the Nexus S, kinda confused as to why they are so bent on using AOSP and porting code over to make it the same kernel... seems like a lot of extra work for no reason to me.

Gapps
I'm testing a method I came up with to install gapps right now, it might take a while but hopefully it'll be quick and easy. I'll report back if/when I get results.

This dual boot thing is MADNESS!!! (In tone of 300) hahaha.... Gotta try this when I get home.!

My i897 just need VolUp+Pwr to enter Recovery mode,
and VolDn+Pwr to enter Download mode.
To get out of any trouble,
don't flash any bootloader, and exclude(delete) any bootloader inside any update(whatever).zip
Normally you don't need to flash or update bootloader.
However, if your phone lack of 3butt comb.,
flash a i9000 bootloader then you will have better access to Recovery and Download mode.
If anyone wanna try this NS rom,
be sure to make backup of /efs.
It store your imei, product code and all identification data,
and this partition use RFS which NS doesn't use.

you should be able too but you will have to reinstall your kernel but you should have asked this on ROMS thread

I did that and the wireless was not working so i recommend to do a complete wipe so you can make sure you dont have problems trust me on the long run its better.

You'll save more time by wiping, believe it or not. A lot of little issues may pop up if you don't.

Do this... Make a nandroid of your 4.4 setup, then try flashing over it with 4.5. If you have problems, either go back to your 4.4 nandroid, or wipe and start over with a fresh flash of 4.5.

thank you for the quick responses i had to wipe every and it is working great average of 40mflops

some questions
I am only a few days old to the flashing a ROM to the HTC Evo but I feel I have a pretty good hang of things. I have the following things:
4.5 Mikfroyo (installed last night after finally reading enough to upgrade to the 4.5)
netarchy 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc flashed
the sdreadahead-512.zip installed for faster SD card speeds ( if you want to try it out... http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/02/h...c-evo-even-faster-than-previous-mod.html#more )
but what i am trying to accomplish now is getting the Vanilla lockscreen to work on my phone. I have read that the 4.5 update seems to have the lockscreen within the ROM already, that I just need to delete or rename the htclockscreen.apk within the system/app folder with the Root Explorer app. Here is my issue though: I have changed the Root Explorer to r/w and have located the file from root--->system-->app--->htclockscreen.apk. If I tap on the file it asks me to install/ view/ or cancel. But I thought it was already installed on the system already? If not, do I need to install it, then delete it? That sounds outright silly but then again some stuff is just that way. I have renamed the file and rebooted but, again, to no success. I know that there was a person asking the same question but I guess I could not understand their conversation enough to know how to follow as they did.
Also, just a general question. why is the 4g toggle missing in the notifications bar now? that was kind of handy for me. oh well, i guess i can just use the HTC toggle on a page instead.
Last question, i would like to flash a new theme to the ROM (white version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853050) But when I downloaded it, set it to the SD card, went into recovery, flashed it, and rebooted, the HTC splash screen (white screen) just stayed on forever. I had to restore from my backup, thank god I knew to do that before hand, and just kept the stock theme with MikFroyo. what could I be doing wrong?

I also am having a problem with the lock screen but mine is a little different. When i boot up and unlock phone for the fisrt time. I get a forced close error. Other then that everything in 4.5 is working good so far

Long press on the .apk, a menu will pop up, then click rename from there. Just did it yesterday and it worked fine. I just added .bk at the end (htclockscreen.apk.bk)
As for the 4g missing in the pulldown menu, you can learn how to change it here (taken from the mikfroyo thread) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877003

thank you Bamba, the lockscreen is now operational and wonderful!!! always have wanted this lockscreen! (Guess it is true, the grass is always greener on the other side.)
as for the missing 4g toggle, i kimd of understand the thread but i will read over it one more time so that i do not mess anything up.
Thanks again!

What kernel are you using if you dont mind me askin?.. and are you using SetCPU or anything?.. Juice defender type stuff?..
I was just wondering cuz I have 4.5 w/ the stock kernel and only get about 28-29 most of the time... not that it really matters, but it does seem a little sluggish goin from app to app.... thanks

i have since switched to vp 3.0 remastered, and is by far in my experience the best rom i have every used. everything is working good for me so far and since falling in love with LP this is the rom for me. I am using the latest radio and pri 1.77 and sbc-net 4.1.9 no havs and it is amazing, really fast. So far I have been on this rom and kernel for 18 hours sitting at 71%. I am going to make a detailed video and post a link to it here and for youtube.

New to mikfroyo,Had cynaogenmod cm7 on evo with cricket.worked ok.3g did.Friday i had it flashed back to sprint.Put cyanogen back on it.worked great.EXCEPT the 3g would go back to 1x. So put 4.5 mikfroyo. and it works great.So my question is were do you get the updates for mikfroyo? cyanogen released nightly builds.Is there a site or info on updates?Also is there a 2.3 android mikfroyo out?

So is there a way to get a 600mhz step in the kernal for bonsai 4.0 last i heard he was going t put it in back in 3.0.1 but still not there. Or is there an easy way to included it in the kernal page file or something that set cpu uses? Also is there a way to get the voodoo color fix or a tweak that works that will make the brightness lower at the lowest setting for 4.0 becase the brightness on this screen is way to brght at night time. I used to have a tweak like this in syndicate rom for 2.1 it was great. Any info would be great thanks guys.

I installed bonsai 4.0.0.1 and it flashed fine, then it tried to restart and got stuck at the samsung boot screen, would not go past that.
So I battery pulled and tried to install another rom (verion 4) and it had an error in CW installing,
Then I tried installing a rom I have used before (epic experience) and CW would not install that one either.
So I used Odin to go back to stock everything and then unlocked it and now I am on a stock rom rooted.
Why do you think it is hanging there? I am scared to flash again as I think it will do the same? But if the forum needs the exact error msg I will install it again as I really want to get this rom working.
Thanks,

Good question as i was just going to as a question about EXT4 and CW.
The rom manger is version 3.0.1.4
however the CW mod flashed is version 3.0.2.4
It only has 2 to choose from in rom manger, 3.0.2.4 or an older 3.0.1.4
Not sure were people are getting these other versions from.

I can't remember what stepping is on the kernel as we have been beta testing 4.0.1 and have been mainly dealing with a new setCPU governor called interactive. Were also still working on the other governor called smartass as well. I think that the stepping goes directly from 400 to 800, but we are always looking to go faster and with better battery life. I'll bug Randy and Mammon about it.
The sound will be Voodoo version 7, but I don't think the Voodoo color fix is going to make it into 4.0.1. Sorry, but we can't do everything...at least not all at the same time.

Did I see a similar post on the Bonsai website earlier today? I just want to verify that you were using CWM 3.0.0.6 as anything else will cause problems like that. Also when you get to these kinds of problems you should attempt a second flash of Bonsai before going to the trouble of a ODIN job. A second flash seems to fix a whole variety of odd kind of problems.
As you can imagine with all the beta testing I do I'm always finding ways to corrupt my phone. Some days I have managed to bork it 3-5 times.
I decided to test out today a 4.0.1 install directly from DI18 > CWM 3.0.0.6 > Bonsai 4.0.1 full rom. It went great with no problems at all and running just fine, so far

I think that is my problem, I am using a the CW that came with the one click unroot.
So I guess I need to do this, even if I am already rooted?

Do not use Rom Manager to be installing the beta CWM files. The correct way is with one of the 1 step CWM tools in the development forum. 3.0.2.4 is half-finished and is very difficult even to navigate through the various menu's. I know this because I tried out that CWM version for some grins one day. It will majorly screw your Epic if your not extremely careful. When DI18 was prevalent Rom Manager worked great to root your phone. When we started the move into the Froyo roms Rom Manager quit working and that is why the 1 click then became more prevalent.
Just follow the directions posted all over the place and Bonsai will install just fine and you will be a happy camper.

I am installing it now after updating to CW3 (from CW2.5) . I think it will come out fine now, I am an idiot and didn't realize the original one click root installed an older version of CW.

Some people do and some don't I do know that Randy has instituted quite a few bluetooth linux upgrades into 4.0.1 rom. Some people are able to clear the data, but the problem usually reappears. Mattalica76 has the link to a more permanent fix to this problem, give him a PM.

I loaded the EC05 stock from Odin as I still dont have a grasp on EXT4 file system.
last thing I tried was cw3.0.0.6 and loaded Bonsai and it installed, just hung at samsung screen. might be a corrupt rom file.
1) So after flashing CW3, bonsai is supposed to change the file system over to EXT4 automatically after flashing, correct?
2) will windows 7 be able to read the sd card after it is changed over to ext4 (by bonsai), or will it have 2 partitions, one windows can read fat32 and the other ext4 it cant.

CWM3 will convert your filesystem to ext4 the first time you boot into it. It won't touch the sdcard so that won't be converted. After CWM is finished with the conversion, do not reboot the phone, you will then flash Bonsai.

After flashing the boot script of cwm 3.0.0.6 you then have to power off. Then hold down the camera button, vol down, and power keys at the same time and the EXT4 script will automatically start to format your system. Please keep in mind that it is not formatting the SD card, but only the read only memory of the phone.
After you finished a few beers it will be done and will drop you back to cwm. Do not reboot, but flash bonsai. After bonsai is finished then reboot.

BTW, if you like our work, buy us a beer

I am currently running gojimi vegan ginger rc1. What will I have to do if I want to go back,and how are storage partitions mapped on this Rom ?

cool! can't wait to try this. waiting patiently for rom to be uploaded and installation instructions to be posted...

Can't wait to finally try this when I get a few days off!
Question: After trying this and having the bootloader upgraded, will I be able to easily revert back to Clemsyn -Calkulin 1.5 with the new bootloader or will I have to nvflash?

I had to use nflash to go between the two bootloaders. My apps are usually remaining or you can use Titanium to get them back.

Awesome build running smooth already glad someone posted this here

Anyways, when you say gmail is working, is it fully functional? I thought there were shader (or something like that) issues that prevented us to see the body of the email.
Also, is flash in the browser working?
Those are my two must haves if I am going to switch to HC.

Those are my two must haves if I am going to switch to HC.
Thanks in advance.

No flash yet. There is a hacked gmail.apk that works fine. I am using it now, and only flash is not working of everything I personally use. The devs are very close now.

I apologize for the delay, it wasn't done uploading yet and I needed to go to my kid's science project (he won 5th place). Just got home so I posted the link on first page. BTW, gmail is also fixed.

actually flash is technically working just fine...it's the opengl shader issues causing it not to display properly...opengl is also causing the gmail app issues (alt app in place as a temp fix, now) and opengl issues are causing a few other apps to have issues as well...once opengl is resolved then this will be a practically perfect build, imo been running it for about a week now with all the updating and love it!!

Thanks clemsyn for sharing this, so whats the difference between this and Roebeets versions released on slatedriod ?

hey, clemsyn...when you get back online, I have a question for you. A lot of the current talk in the Adam dev chat is that a .36 or newer kernel will resolve many of the current issues (OpenGL specifically)...I was wondering if maybe you had a newer version kernel in the works or not for the gtab? If so, how's it coming along? If not, how tough do you think it would be to develop a .36 version of the kernel? Thanks for everything, man. Have a good one.

Is Dolphin HD working on this?
Thanks to clemsyn & roebeet for porting this from the Adam.

Stuck on boot
Hey Roebeet, its been awhile but I'm back and ready for HoneyComb. I folowed your directions. I used NvFlash to get back to 3588. I then installed CWM .08 and partitioned internal 2048 and 0. I put the zip on internal and installed via CWM. Now it hangs on the viewsonic white screen? Any Ideas?

Theres already a 2.3.32.40 overclocked kernal out. Is that not what you are wanting?

it's 2.6.32.40...the 40 is the version number of the .32 kernel...they are looking for a x.x.36.x kernel to possibly resolve the issues with opengl...

Most of us got this issue. When reading on the other website it says to do wipe data after flashing so do that and see

I think this guys issue stems from the fact that he installed cwm. This rom needs to be installed with the stock bootloader.

Well I have the same issue, I wiped, but nothing. When I flashed the file, it said unknown command bootloader, bla bla.
Pretty sure thats the issue, I was running 3588 ...dont know whats up.

I get the same results with the unknown command bootloader. I've tried wiping all data after the installing the rom and the gtab still gets hung up. This is coming from using nvflash to 3588 and a repartition.

[Telus T959D Fascinate] - Install MIUI, CM7 and More!!

Follow Steps at own Risk
MIUI or CM7 Installation:
1.) Depending on what you want to install, download either the I9000 Miui 1.11.11 Rom or the CM 7.1 Stable Rom.
2.) Download the Glitch-V13-DEV-TelusFascinate+ kernel. I chose the Medium Leakage Kernel.
3.) Move both ZIP (ROM and Kernel) files over to the Root of your Internal SD Card (USB, Bluetooth, etc)
4.) Make sure you DISABLE all Lagfixs if you have it enabled.
IMPORTANT:
Froyo 2.2.x (Not Tested):
We need to be able to boot into CWM. Easiest way to do this if you are on Froyo is to Flash the SpeedMod kernel or the Voodoo Kernel. I suggest following all steps which includes installing Darky 9.2 just to be sure. I haven't tried flashing Miui or CM7 from right from the SpeedMod CWM.
Gingerbread 2.3.x (Tested):
If you running a custom ROM that is based off Gingerbread you will be required to flash the Darky Resurrection Edition 9.2 (Froyo) via Odin. This is to insure that the proper boot loaders updated before installing MIUI or CM7. Download the Darky 9.2 package from the above URL, the ONLY files that we need from here are: Odin3 v1.3.exe, darky_odin.tar.md5 & s1_odin_20100512.pit​
Follow Ficeto's Instructions below to flash Darky 9.2 and remember to backup all your stuff before starting.
-------------------------------------
5.) Next step is to get your phone into Download Mode. If you are unsure please search the forums here.
6.) Now, open ODIN and connect the phone to the computer. ODIN will say 'Added'.
7.) Tick the 'Repartition' option, and then select the following files in ODIN (from the folder you extracted the base package in):
[*]PDA: darky_odin.tar.md5
[*]PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
8.) Press the Start button and wait for it to finish. Once it finishes, disconnect the phone from the computer after the phone reboots.
9.) After ODIN completes procedure and the phone reboots, a screen will come on the phone with 'Android system recovery <2e>' written at the top, and the following text will be written at the bottom:
"E:Invalid command argument
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Muti CSC...
Installing Muti CSC"
Don't worry about this.
10.) From here the next step is to reboot your phone, your POWER / SELECT button will not work so you will have to pull the battery out. Once you put the battery back in and start up the phone, it should automatically boot into CWM Recovery.
-------------------------------------
11.) Next we want to do a COMPLETE WIPE (Factory), also deleting Partition Cache and the Delvik Cache.
12.) Once the phone has been cleansed, you want to make your way to the option "Select ZIP from SD Card" and select the ROM zip file located on the SD Card. Start the Installation.
NOTE: Once you start the installation, your phone will reboot part way through, then will continue the rest of the installation. The total time for this installation could take up to 10 minutes, so please be patient and do not touch the phone!
13.) DONE!! You have now successfully Flashed either Miui or CM7 on your Fascinate!.
14.) Actually, one more Step which I have ONLY tested with Miui 1.11.11:
Once you have checked a few things out, we are going to want to Flash the Glitch-V13-DEV-TelusFascinate+ kernel. So boot back into CWM Recovery and Flash it the same way you flashed the ROM.
Optional:
BASEBAND UPDATE:
I would also suggest Flashing the I9000UGJK3 Baseband or another of your liking because I had crappy cell signal with the Stock Miui Baseband. Just download it as you normally would, move the ZIP to the internal SD Card, boot into CMW recovery and flash it. Click on the Link Here and find the modem that you would like to flash.
4WAYREBOOT MOD:
I think this Mod is a MUST for anyone running Miui, it completes it!! It basically adds the additional reboot options like Recovery, Hotboot, etc. to the 'reboot' list when going to reboot the phone. Install the ZIP the same way as usual, through CWM recovery. Download the 4-Way Reboot Mod Here.
ENJOY!!!!
I will add to this post with some additional and helpful information.
Other helpful information:
- With Miui or CM7, you will want to install the ROM Manager Application. It contains a bunch of additional downloads and is a must when using Miui or CM7.
- Please do NOT USE 'ROM manager' Backup option to create a nandroid. To create a backup, boot into CWM recovery normally via ROM manager or if you have the 4-Way Reboot mod installed. Just don't use the 'Backup option' in ROM Manager
- I haven't tried Launcher Pro yet, I've actually stuck with the Stock Launcher that Miui comes with, Launcher2.apk

thanks so much! save me tinkering time

Thanks! On my to do!
EDIT - thinking about this on the way into work. Should we include a step (if the complete wipe doesn't do it) to wipe the battery stats? Could be done in CWM after flashing the ROM, or through an app like battery calibration on boot up. Also, we should note on the coming from froyo that you only need speed kernel if you do not have an option to get CWM. When I ran froyo I had a voodoo kernel so could get to CWM that way.
Also, is miui EXT4 out of the box (no need for a lagfix)? Given its next to latest GB I'm assuming it is
Just some thoughts - hoping to do this tonight, but one quick question for the group - flashing - so do you all make sure you have a full battery before you flash? I've not always done that in the past, but believe its a best practice.
NEW EDIT - almost forgot, great work as always Adam!

Thanks Jeff, the Voodoo kernel should also work as well. In regards to wiping the battery, I never did but it might be a good idea just in case. I haven't run into any issues as of yet. (knock on wood)

Not 100% sure on this at the moment, but I do know that there is no need for Lagfix with Miui or CM7.

It definitely is good practice to Flash a new ROM when the battery is almost 100% full. Now saying that, I have flashed ROMS when my battery has been as low as 40% - 45% and never had any issues.

I think that's the best comment Adam - why apply a lagfix if one is not needed!
Cannot wait to give this a run - hoping tonight assuming my little ones all go to bed, and my wife does not get too annoyed with me

[MIUI Themes and Lock Screens]
The Miui Rom is very customizable when it comes to themes and lock screens.
The Miui 'Themes' application allows you to download, install, customize and apply all different types of themes. Which I would have to say that there are at least a good 100 + or more themes out there at the moment.
I think the best feature that the 'Themes' app has to offer is that you have the option to apply different theme components to the current base theme that you have it set to!
As an example, I currently have one of the 'Honeycomb' themes applied as my base theme, my Lockscreen is based off the 'Slide Slip' theme, my Icon Set is based off the 'Seemless Dark Blue' theme and my Dialer is also based off the 'Seemless Dark Blue' theme. It feels like the possibilities are endless now when it comes to customization.
To see the different components the way the themes are broken down, choose 'Edit Theme' from within the 'Themes' app. Within here you can then assign other theme components as long as you with have the full theme installed or just that one component.
Installation of .mtz files, (Full Themes / Theme components)
Once you have downloaded a compatible Miui theme (.mtz format), copy that file to the following directory on your phone:
/sdcard/MIUI/theme
(You can also import themes from the themes application itself, all that does it move it to that directory for you)
Then open up the 'Themes' app and your new theme will be in the list.
NOTE:
If its a theme component only (Still .mtz format) , eg. Lock Screen component, it WILL NOT show up in your main Theme list. Just click on 'Edit Theme' and it should show up under the drop down for 'Lockscreen Style'. Get what i mean?
For Miui Lockscreens, check out the link below!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288096
For full Miui themes, check out the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249352
Also, the Theme app has an Online library that you can search through as well
Cheers!

EDIT flashing in process - factory reset at the moment

Awesome! Thanks for creating this. Just gotta wait until the weekend to take the plunge. It's not the flashing taking too long that I worry about, but the time I spend restoring apps and settings and just playing around in general. Not to mention having time to start over if I feel something went wrong. Two more days to go!

guessing it shouldn't boot loop - I'm stuck in a boot loop
looks like it cannot find the SD card - so keep restarting looking for the miui zip - the CWM error is quick before it restarts (can't see it)
EDIT : re-downloaded the zip but same effect. Anyone hit this before with cm7 or miui? trying a few things before I attempt a restore.
I get to 'checking bml' before it reboots, and then it boot loops continuously - I tried flashing and not flashing the glitch kernel first, but nothing sticks.
EDIT : giving up, attempting a restore of my nandroid I made before I started. Any tips let me know - disappointed.
EDIT : still up, backup didn't go so well - likely cause I have odd kernels - one last ditch - went right back to froyo stock, tried speedmod (bootloop), now put on 9.2, rebooting - may give it one more shot before giving up for the night.
EDIT - SON OF A ***** - that did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might have to provide some troubleshooting tips on that one!!!!!!!!
EDIT AGAIN - knock on wood here - I'm farther than the bootloop and I'm at a MIUI splash screen - that might be as far as I go tonight ... LOL
FINAL EDIT - so not much playing tonight. Ate into that with all this trouble shooting.
SO IF YOU ARE COMING FROM A GB ROM AND GET STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP - I would go to STOCK FROYO and then flash 9.2 and then follow the instructions. Bang on job Adam! I think I just had something odd on my phone.
I'm now up - gltich on + miui.

Wow, sorry you had such a hard time man. Only time I hit a hard bootloop was when trying to install CM7 using gingerbread bootloaders. Did you eventually get it going??

yeah, see my last edits - putting on 9.2 I'm guessing didn't completely adjust the bootloaders - when I put on stock telus 2.1, THEN 9.2 - I was golden.
Didn't play much (that was after 12) but restored a few apps - but man, it is really fast. Will report some thoughts over the weekend likely.

Questions on MIUI
OK a few questions.
- downloaded google maps (navigation, etc). Start it up, but it fails miserably - bombs out and goes into a constant vibration. ANyone having similar issues with that? Suggestions?
- There's a 6 digit number in the left corner of my screen - no meaning to me - anyone know what that is or seeing something similar?
- also, pinch and zoom with the camera. Those don't seem to work - any issues you folks having with that?
- Adam you suggest a different base band - where are you getting zip - I'm only finding large tars on that link (but I"m over tired)
- The OTA updater looks great BUT is in chinese - any one have a work around for that?

Again, sorry about all the issues you had with installing and such. My very first time

Weird man, I actually installed google maps a few days ago. First time I used it (Navigation) was yesterday to test out the GPS. Had no problems at all with the apps yet.

That is your Service Provider. With CM7 and Miui, I noticed it doesn't resolve the provider. Its no harm unless you don't like looking at numbers there. I did find a work around though, just install the Miui Extended Menu Mod and you can change it to what ever you want:

Pinch and Zoom? Unsure what you mean, is that just the touch-point focus? If not I haven't tested that yet.

Guess I better check my links more better. Stupid site.
For now use this one. I know your in the same geo area as me, I haven't had any issues with this one, use the one attached.

Oh, don't use the OTA updater, just use ROM Manager. Or download the Miui updater app from the market.
I'm guessing MIUI originally was developed in China, lol

OK - maybe I should reflash. I actually have ROM Mgr premium - but its telling me I need CWM installed to work (which I obviously have).
And no apologies needed - we're all guinea pigs here
EDIT - Also, on the camera - used to be able to pinch like a website on Darky's to zoom in and out. Maybe that was a custom camera but I think it was generally samsung stock.
EDIT - Reflashed (1.11.18 actually - am I the first ) and GPS issue solved - might have been tied to the modem as I flashed yours Adam (THANK YOU!!!!!!) Keeping moving forward

Might be the best thing to do. I've read that some people prefer to >> Flash the ROM first >> Flash Kernel >> Boot into Kernel CWM >> Re-Flash ROM again.
Yeah, if you do there is no need for the Darky steps anymore.
Just boot into CWM, do factory wipe, partition and dalvik cache, fix permissions, then flash miui again.
Oh, in regards to ROM Manager and CWM, just select 'Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery' >> Select I9000 (MTA) and choose version 3.
Then reboot into recovery to test.
It actually still uses the Glitch CWM from the Kernel. This is just so that ROM Manager will recognize that you have a selected CWM

Looks like Miui 1.11.18 is now out. I'm going to Flash and test it out shortly.

I'm loving Miui and the glitch kernel man. There are a few other Kernels out there that we can try as well. I maybe testing the platypus kernel out soon, it is also built for our phone too
From what I've read so far though, Glitch is one of the best so far.

when you get 1.11.18, go to ROM manager and select update ROM - does nothing happen? I have it registered now with a CWM which is fine, it shows my current version (which is latest) so when I click check for udpates nothing happens (no - 'no update available' or anything like that). Just wanted to see if it was working correctly.
