It might be a very lame question but i'm new to android and cyanogen ROMs. So please help.
(correct my if im wrong) himem gives you full access to the 512mb ram the phone has. Stock standard only gives the phone about 250mb or so. The more the phone has to use the faster

Correct - highmem was a backport of the code in the 2.6.32 kernel that allowed the use of both EBI memory banks.
Starting with 2.6.32 this is a non issue as all memory can be properly addressed. Google has not released an OTA using this kernel yet, but they have checked the "stable" code into the git repo.

Its a kernel that allows you to use the full amount of ram installed on your phone as the member before me stated. Next time try the search button.

What type of delay is there typically between the code being posted to git and then making its way into an OTA?

Thats exactly what came to my mind too....
So why would you NOT use Himem? Seems like a no-brainer. Is it enabled in Froyo or would you still have to enable it manually?
What reason is there to put 512mb in there and only allow access to 256 or have I missed a point here?
Yes it's part of Froyo, as it uses the .32 kernel.

Recently there's has been a release of Cyanogen Mod version 7 for GT-I9000
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15275-gt-i9000-cyanogenmod-7-we-love-bugs-version-20110205/
When the 6.1 beta came out for this device I remember Eugene fixed up a sweet kernel for us that fixed various issues, such as button mapping and kernel panics, which allowed us to have CM on T959 devices
Just letting everyone know it's out, and that if any nice devs would like to build a kernel to fix some issues we can have this on our devices!!!
I AM NOT ASKING FOR AN ETA OF ANY KIND. I'M SIMPLY ASKING IF THERE IS A DEV OUT THERE THAT WOULD LOOK INTO THE RECENTLY RELEASED CM7 AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT THAT CAN EASILY BE FIXED, LIKE KEY MAPPING.
Maybe someone should try the latest GT-I9000 CM7 beta with the last kernel that eugene released for CM on T959? I would try, but I don't want to reconfigure my perfect setup right now
P.S. if anyone uses CM on Vibrant, remember to use sombionix's SD mount fix so that your internal SD mounts properly!

Same I think I'll wait for a new nightly to pop up or Eugene to work his magic and create another fix, it shouldn't be that hard... just reconfigure the old fix to work with the new code?
I forgot to mention that Team Whiskey is working on an AOSP build for the Vibrant! I read it first in the OP for Bionix-v thread when it was first created:
also, as soon as we get our hands on the source code, we'll begin a full aosp build compiled from source.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And right now the OP has been updated with this:
Coming Soon:
Multiple high quality themes will soon be available for Bionix-v. Team whiskey has also been working hard to bring you a stable 2.2.1 and 2.3 rom. Expect a stable 2.2.1 to drop soon...very soon. Other very exciting goodies coming in the near future. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you!

The problem with that idea is that Eugene's new kernel is a FroYo kernel, not Gingerbread (which is what CM7 is). I'm sure Eugene or TW could get a good Gingerbread build working though.

Jeez, stop demanding this and that. These are the kind of posts that developers HATE to see.
Samsung hasn't released froyo source much less gingerbread. Pretty sure krylon360 and others are using nexus s/sdk and maybe even writing drivers themselves to get ginger working.

I'm not demanding anything kid, I was just stating initially that CM7 came out, just in case some devs hadn't noticed. And i was replying to someone who said Eugene couldn't do anything because he only works with 2.2 source? Something ridiculous like that...
I ran CM7 a couple days ago... only thing it really needed was the Vibrant modem.
new kernel isn't going to do much.

flash the one from the i9000 and
just extract the modem.bin from the Vibrant modem you choose
next
place it in your sdcard.
then after you have CM7 installed.
open terminal emulator and type this:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mtdblock5

I don't think that applies since Cyanogen just started that none of the CMSGS work is "official"... Therefore, asking for ETAs aren't against the rules, just annoying

I think if you read a little closer, I was commenting that the 2.2 source that was leaked to Eugene is about as useful to CM7/GingerBread ROM development as the 2.1 source was to 2.2 ROMs.

All the buttons are reversed though, correct?
no not switched only my list and back buttons work. This really should be labeled a tech demo. Of course it's full of dragons, just go read the known bugs over at the cyanogen forums. It works - fun to play with cyanogen7 but thats it - don't expect this to be a fully working daily driver.
Now that the original thread is closed, perhaps it should be OK for us orphans of this NAND ROM to discuss our problems here.
If we are lucky, maybe MDJ will re-surface and post updates to that excellent NAND in the relevant section.
Hope the mods don't mind?
Maybe he abandoned because unofficial / kinda official cm7 nightlies. Hopefully he has a honeycomb build on the way.

Even Honeycomb is compatible with Phones, it will never be a Phone OS. It meant to be for Tablets only.
By the way, last week MDJ said that update is almost READY! All we can do is hope that it is true!
By the way, some people on eBay sell MDJ's ginger on ebay with instructions, hundreds of copies...
Nah, he did post about an upcoming update. The mods closed it down because the thread got unwieldy (over 1500 msgs) and MDJ did not respond in time to their PMs.

Nope. Cyanogen released note that they are not very happy about Unofficial builds of their work. That is why they closed it, because of GPL.

Interesting that cyanogen mod would get upset at unofficial releases of their work. especially since they are the original android hackers and chefs. And I really doubt the mods closed it because it got too big.

The issue is licensing, not unofficial ports - the GPL license requires you to provide access to your source code. MDJ did not provide his source code despite many requests for access to it
MDJ we all love your build hope u come back with a good news soon .After seeing your post update coming soon we all were curious for your update and now the thread has got closed.
Missing my dose of MDJ.

If I can remember well, that also happened during the SD builds time.
He was asked for the source code but not after the later part that he gave it.
ughhhhhh, my favorite rom build is being taken away from me :'(
Well, I have the following would-like-to-haves in future versions if they are ever coming:
Dialer - Speed Dial
Dialer - Find Contact As You Type
About Device - The actual device ID (prevents some apps like FastWebInstall from working)
The new App Market
Everything else seems to be working fine for me.
I'd like to clear something up, to stop all these "rumours".
MDJ's thread was closed because his threads are not in compliance with the requirements of the GPL.
Once he contacts the moderators with the information he is required to provide, his threads can be re-opened.
It has nothing to do with cyanogen or anything like that.
I guess this thread can stay open as a "support" thread as long as no links are posted to any of his ROMs.
Do someone know MDJ personally ? How can we contact him ?
I hate to give up his rom...

Whats the difference between nightly and stable?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Generally, when a release has been tested thoroughly and shows no signs of having any major bugs(e.g. camera not working, no touchscreen interaction) it is considered stable and usable as a daily driver for most people. The nightly builds of CM7 are considered unstable, because as new features are added on a daily basis, there is a possibility that those features/corrections may break some functionality in the device. This is not always the case, but it can happen.
This build seems pretty stable to me at least. Have at it and tell me/everyone what you think.
Issues?
Anyone test this out yet? Are there still issues with camera res, etc? How about Netflix playback?
thanks.
will you keep building?

I'd like to. I'm going on vacation in a few days, so after Wednesday I may not do a build for a week. Until then I'm planning on doing a release every night, contrary to what I stated in the OP. I'm not one for thorough testing/debugging/fixing though, so I will not attempt to patch/add anything to these releases other than what a nightly repo sync adds.

Start reading about 3/4 down: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20070-cm7-discussion-of-nightlies/page__st__60
essentially(at least as far as I understand) The Gtablet build was renamed from harmony to smb_a1002 under the malata name/platform. This broke the buildbot for us for the nightlies, which has not been fixed yet. I have not yet seen an eta on when nightlies for us will be up again.
