Hey folks,

This is a port of Cyanogen 7.0.3 (based on the stable Android Gingerbread 2.3.3 release) for the Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500 (Europa) phone. The current port status is beta - most functions work, but it may not be suitable for everyday use, unless you can live without the missing features (see errata below). If you have programming experience, any assistance in resolving the remaining issues will be much appreciated. See the working features and "errata" listed below for more information.

Special thanks to Motafoca for starting Cyanogen development, and for his constant assistance.

WARNING!
* READ THE ERRATA BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR USING THIS ROM. The most important entries are [color="#FF0000]written in red[/color].
* If you fail to read the errata (and ask silly questions that are already answered), I will personally find out where you live and hunt you down.
* This is beta-quality software, and some functions are still not available compared to the Froyo builds!

Instructions:
1. Download the latest release, and extract the .tar file from the .7z/.rar archive (using WinRAR or 7zip).
2. Flash .tar file in Odin with One Package option - do NOT select any other options (such as debug).
3a. If upgrading from Eclair or Froyo (any version), you must data-wipe.
3b. If you are upgrading from an older Cyanogen version, read the changelog for the newest release if you need to data wipe.
3c. If you are flashing a hotfix, you must flash it after flashing the full release. Data wiping is not necessary for hotfixes.
4. When the Google Setup Wizard appears, I recommend that you leave the phone idle for a minute or so. Applications are still installing in the background, and completing the wizard early may cause some icons (such as Market) to go missing. If you were impatient, and some icons are missing, install Titanium Backup and use the "unfreeze" feature.
5. Optional: during Google account setup, you may want to disable the backup feature of Google Apps. Some users have reported that it causes lag (which will be investigated).
6. Optional, but highly recommended. Upgrade your baseband to the version recommended for your region. This is explained in the next section.

Baseband
The baseband (also known as the MODEM/AMSS) deals with telephony, mobile networking (3G/GPRS) and GPS. Unlike Froyo, Cyanogen is sensitive to the baseband version you have installed, and some functions do not work properly (most notably GPS) when using older basebands. For that reason, I recommended that you upgrade your baseband to the latest version when using Cyanogen. Follow the steps below:
1. Make sure you have a working backup of your phone's official AMSS (in case you have problems). There is no way to backup the AMSS from a running phone, so you must have a full copy of an official ROM. You really should have a backup of your official ROM, as you will need to flash it before sending the phone for warranty repair (for whatever reason). Refer to this guide for more details on how to acquire a backup of your official ROM: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
2. Go to Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version. If your baseband version is already the same version as you intend to flash (in step 3a or 3b), then stop here. You don't need to do anything else.
3a. For Europeans, download the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login baseband. UPDATE: You may want to try the JPE baseband instead, even if you're European. People have reported that JPE makes GPS and Bluetooth more stable. I am using the American JPE, even though I'm living in Ireland.
bb. For the Americas and & rest of the world, download the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login baseband.
4. When you have downloaded the appropriate baseband for your region (and you are sure that it needs to be upgraded), simply flash the .tar file in Odin with the One Package option. Data-wiping is not necessary.
5. Once your baseband is flashed and your phone has rebooted, go to Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version, and verify that it is now the correct version.
6. Note: you only need to flash the baseband once. Flashing Cyanogen itself will not change the baseband. If you flash an official Froyo ROM that was downloaded from Kies or SamFirmware, your baseband will be changed to the version that was included in the ROM package.

Release list/changelog:
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - includes v3.4+hotfix2 changes; improved default kernel settings for stability and performance (tested by ghusdark, reported to fully solve wakeup problems); tweaked cache settings; added mpeg4 to list of working codecs (but the rest are still not working). Data-wipe will not be necessary, but you should disable app2sd before upgrading if you are using a release older than 3.4hotfix2.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login + You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 2/June/2011 - removed old patches from kernel (were causing system instability, such as framework restarts when first connecting to wifi or batch restoring apps in Titanium Backup); updated kernel source against I5503 2.2.1 source code; removed Titanium Backup from default install (as it was conflicting with the Pro/Donate version); fixed audio issues such as headphones not being detected during call / microphone not working during speakerphone call; fixed issue where Market cannot download large apps; FM Radio app will be installed (despite it still not working) in case people want to try and make it work somehow. Hotfix2 enhances app2sd. It now keeps /data/data in the phone's internal storage, which prevents lag and slow download speeds. You must use ADB to enable/disable app2sd, and if you already have app2sd active, you must data-wipe after installing hotfix2 (even if you installed the previous hotfix1).
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 31/May/2011 - improved Bluetooth reliability (now less likely to fail during initialization). Data-wipe is highly recommended if you are upgrading from 3.2 or lower. You can skip this version if you don't care about Bluetooth.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 31/May/2011 - fixed bug where phone would not wake from sleep; fixed reboot when disabling Bluetooth; changed wifi sleep policy back to defaults; fixed wifi reconnection problem when waking from sleep; converted system filesystem to EXT4; removed galaxy5_defaults script (it was causing Market and some other icons to sometimes disappear); removed need for 1 minute freeze & bootloop on every flash; added more preloaded apps: Street View for Google Maps, Blade Wifi Fix, Titanium Backup. A data-wipe is highly recommended for this version.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 30/May/2011 - fixed wrong microphone problem (again); enabled H264 codec (DIVX and MP4 videos don't work yet, but HQ Youtube video now works); improved galaxy5_defaults script (will no longer cause Market or other icons to disappear after data-wipe); preloaded more apps (Gmail, Youtube, Maps & AdFree Android); changed readahead values (to help prevent lag, especially for app2sd users); now uses Froyo 2.2.1 (JPE) proprietary files; changed kernel config (potential fix for phone not waking from standby - please test). Data-wipe is not necessary but recommended if you have problems.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 28/May/2011 - decreased Davlik VM size to 16m, set proper minimum CPU frequency/CPU scheduler settings (to hopefully fix unresponsive phone when left overnight); reduced audio latency (fixes ringtones). This version is highly recommended. Data-wipe not necessary if upgrading from 2.992+, but recommended.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 28/May/2011 - removed "test" from build name. Fixed touchscreen sensitivity (regressed in 2.994). Increased audio driver latency (fixes audio lag - games will now run 100% smooth). Fixed one other bug, not worth mentioning [edit: it was the reboot on first incoming call bug <img src=\'You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />]... So tired. Gotta sleep.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login + You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 27/May/2011 - script fixes/enhancements: 1) get_macaddrs - no longer blocks the system_server on each boot; 2) galaxy5_defaults - runs more efficiently (which means that first boot after a flash will not be delayed as much); 3) madteam_app2sd - several fixes, including a more efficient transfer procedure, and will now set the writeback journalling flag for partitions properly; 4) 04galaxy5 - readahead speed tweaks are now different between STL and MMC devices. Slightly modified microphone fix in libaudio so that it initializes the microphone only when an input device is requested (to hopefully prevent some audio lag). Recompiled entire framework with different TARGET_CPU_ABI (was armeabi-v6l, now armeabi - this appears to reduce system lagging). Removed (currently useless) FM app + some orphaned .odex files. Tweaked keyboard size. Tweaked ADWLauncher to reduce battery usage and help avoid accidental widget removal. Summary: several bug + lag fixes = better performance and reliability. Update to this version is recommended. Data-wipe not necessary, but recommended. Hotfix1 (thanks to Motafoca/npmap) includes a new kernel with several patches to EXT4, bugfixes and a new Simple IO scheduler (optimized for flash devices).
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 25/May/2011 - completely fixed reboot hangs (when turning off or rebooting phone); potentially fixed VPN support; tweaked touchscreen (should be more responsive at edges - please test); fixed various boot loop problems related to app2sd; fixed lockscreen widget (no longer obscures caller); reduced keyboard size; added Live Wallpapers; added USB tether option (not yet working); improved app2sd/caching to fix lag issue; updated kernel (new performance tweaks + TUN module added for VPN support). Data wipe is required if upgrading from 2.991 or older. If you have enabled app2sd in version 2.992, please see errata step 2d.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 22/May/2011 - now based on Cyanogen 7.0.3 (stable version based on Android 2.3.3 - hopefully less bugs for us!).

Data wipe is required in all cases.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 16/May/2011 - fixed Bluetooth & WiFi MAC on first boot, improved scripts so that data wipe should no longer be necessary when upgrading between Cyanogen versions; fixed WiFi disconnection problem; partially fixed the problem of the lockscreen hiding the incoming caller's name; enhanced status bar icons (now uses: Wifi / Mobile Data / Bluetooth / Brightness / Sound / Orientation). This ROM should now be considered BETA quality. NOTE: There was a slight problem with a script, so I reuploaded the fixed version. You may need to re-download and flash again.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 16/May/2011 - updated Cyanogen source; You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login -> for those who missed the joke, the microphone problems is fixed, so you don't need to practice telepathy with your friends while making calls <img src=\'You are not allowed to view links.

* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 23/Apr/2011 - first release.

Working:
* GPS [1]
* WiFi
* WiFi tethering
* 3G
* Brightness controls
* Video
* Audio (recording and playback)
* Touchscreen (no multitouch, don't ask because I'm not working on it)
* Root
* Camera (and video recorder)
* Microphone
* SIM Contacts
* MAD Team App2SD [2]
* Swap [3]
* Telephony
* Sensors [4]

Partially working:
* Bluetooth [5]
* SIM Toolkit
* Battery [6]
* Hardware encoders/decoders (H264/MP3 working, others not).

Not working/unknown:
* USB tethering - we need a newer kernel, or backported kernel patches.
* FM Radio
* Kies - note: you should never expect a custom rom to work with Kies - Cyanogen or otherwise. You can always downgrade to an official ROM to restore Kies compatibility.

Errata:
[1] GPS does not work with the newest Americas baseband ending in JP9. Check your version at Settings -> About phone -> Baseband. If you have the new baseband, you should downgrade to the JP2 baseband to get GPS (and possibly also 3G) working correctly. GPS is confirmed to work correctly on all European basebands (so far).
[2a] This rom uses a custom app2sd script that I wrote, called madteam_app2sd (based on Motafoca's idea). All folders are put on the SD card, but to prevent lag, the EXT4 partition on the SD card uses a separate journalling device (stl14, which is usually configured as the /cache drive). The phone's original /data partition (stl13) is then reconfigured as the new /cache drive. Additionally, all drives are configured to use EXT4 writeback journalling, which improves performance.
[2b] App2SD is disabled by default. To enable, run madteam_app2sd on from an ADB shell. When you run the command, your phone will freeze for a few minutes and then reboot.
[2c] Toggling app2sd on or off will *not* cause data-loss - all your data is transferred normally. The script also does a free-disk space check on the source/destination drives, and will refuse to change the configuration if there is not enough space available to complete the requested action.
[3] Swap is disabled by default. Run madteam_app2sd swapon or madteam_app2sd swapoff to enable/disable. Changes will be permanent (i.e., swap will be activated/deactivated on every reboot).
[4a] Although the sensors  work fine, the sensor daemon is draining a lot of battery. With sensors enabled, the phone generates between 800-1000 wakeups per 15 seconds; for comparison, other phones do around 50-100 wakeups per 15 seconds with sensors enabled. More wakeups = more battery used, so this is not good.
[4b] With the sensors turned off, the phone does just 70-80 wakeups per 15 seconds. If you wish to conserve battery, therefore, you may wish to disable sensors whenever possible. The sensor toggle icon is the furthest on the right in the drop-down notification bar.
[4c] Thanks to testing by LoopMind, we now know that Froyo has the same problem with high wakeups as Gingerbread, so this is not a problem with my port.
[5] Bluetooth has two issues:
[5a] Sometimes Bluetooth will refuse to turn on. This is because of a timing conflict when trying to insert the patched firmware into memory. This problem happens with other Samsung phones, and currently the only known workaround is to reboot your phone and try again. You will have more success enabling Bluetooth if you try when there are no CPU hogging processes running in the background. UPDATE: it seems that Bluetooth is more reliable with the American LUYJPE baseband. Give it a try - even if you're located in Europe.
[5b] Bluetooth pairing works perfectly, but file transfers do not work properly. In my own testing between my phone and laptop (via a Bluetooth dongle), I noticed that file transfers will only work when the phone is set as discoverable, and the file transfer is initiated within the discoverable timeout.
[6] Battery usage is higher than Froyo. Although sensors are a large part of the problem, it is not the only cause. We are investigating.

[Release] Cyanogen 7 "Galaxy5" Port
« Reply #1 on: April 23, 2011, 10:23:24 PM »
Cyanogen 7.1 Nightly Builds (Gingerbread 2.3.4r1)
Current version: v0.6 (30/June/2011)


These builds are for users who wish to test more up-to-date code, or participate more actively in development / bug reporting.

Warning: nightly builds are based on the latest code from Cyanogen's source repository, and must be considered unstable. These builds will only be released after being tested to work, but there is no guarantee that all functionality will be available compared to the stable version. On the other hand, you may experience less problems with these builds, considering that Gingerbread 2.3.4 will include many bug fixes and enhancements.

Instructions:
  • Follow the same flashing procedure as the stable builds - see post #1.
  • When flashing between the stable (Cyanogen 7.0) <-> nightly (Cyanogen 7.1) releases, you must data-wipe due to the structural changes. When upgrading from one nightly releases to another, however, data-wipe is not necessary unless specifically requested in the changelog.
  • It is recommended that you upgrade your baseband to the version recommended for your region. See post #1 for more details.
Release list/changelog:
Note: the changelog will not mention any changes or improvements in the Cyanogen code itself, as there is too much to list, and it changes every day. I will only document the changes related to my porting that affects the phone's hardware, etc. In other words, the changelog is not telling you all of the improvements.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 30/June/2011 - updated Cyanogen source to 7.1.0RC1; now using CodeAurora kernel 2.6.32; now using Samsung's RIL binary and libraries (which fixes the cellular network signal, and may fix the 3G battery drain); added new Google Apps package; added Google Docs; removed AdFree Android & Blade WiFi Fix; fixed video recording. Data-wipe is recommended only if you see "force close" issues with Google or other system apps. Please note that your first sync with the Google servers may be slower than usual (probably due to settings databases being upgraded, and the addition of Docs syncing). Please see post #3 for more information on the new kernel.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 26/June/2011 - updated Cyanogen source, updated libaudio to fix battery drain, small mad2sd fixes, fixed USB debugging icon, potential GPS fix, first part of USB tethering support. Data-wipe not needed. If GPS still doesn't work with the latest baseband, make sure to test this version and give feedback. USB tethering will not work until I release the new Code Aurora kernel, but it is not yet ready.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login + You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 11/June/2011 - updated Cyanogen source; upgraded various kernel drivers from CodeAurora kernel: KGSL (video), pmem, binder, lowmemorykiller, tty; fixed bug in rpcrouter kernel driver (may reduce battery drain); enhanced app2sd script (now renamed mad2sd, can be used from the phone terminal, and uses a smarter method to activate swap); tweaked kernel's lowmemorykiller settings (should prevent too many applications from closing unnecessarily, without sacrificing speed); upgraded libaudio to incorporate battery drain fix; tweaked drive readahead values & changed I/O scheduler for MMC device to use deadline (for better performance); increased Dalvik heapsize to 24m; tweaked priority of "perceptible apps" (i.e., any app that plays audio) so they are not easily killed when running in the background; fixed Wifi sleep bug. Hotfix3 resolves graphical lag (a bug with the new KGSL driver), increases the memkiller values & fixes a problem with app2sd that was causing lag. Data-wipe not needed. This version is recommended, but please test for any new problems with audio routing. ** NOTE: IF YOU HAVE APP2SD ACTIVE, PLEASE READ ERRATA POINT 3 BEFORE FLASHING **.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 9/June/2011 - in our excitement, we didn't notice that Youtube acceleration was broken in v0.3 - this version fixes it again. Note: if you already flashed v0.3, there's an easier way to upgrade: download You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login 1mb archive and push it's contents to /system/lib/ - that will bring you to the "fix1" version.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 9/June/2011 - updated Cyanogen source; patched Synaptics RMI4 driver in kernel - all touchscreen edge issues are now fixed; disabled Synaptics debug messages (to reduce spam in dmesg); modified Android memkiller settings - this greatly improves phone responsiveness and eliminates lag - the entire system is now much faster than any previous release (including Froyo). Credit goes to Motafoca for finding the memkiller tweak. Data wipe is not needed. This version is highly recommended.
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 8/June/2011 - updated Cyanogen source; fixed touchscreen sensitivity issue with bottom row of keyboard (in both portrait and landscape modes); removed all proprietary OMX codecs from ROM (none of them work, so they're just wasting space); removed external journal feature from app2sd partition (it causes problems on each upgrade) & small app2sd script improvements. Data-wipe is not necessary, but please turn off app2sd before upgrading (or you may get a bootloop). You can re-enable app2sd after flashing the update, and future updates will not require you to disable/re-enable app2sd in this way again (I promise!).
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 7/June/2011 - based on stable 3.41 code; improved 3G/GPRS functionality (icon will now show animated arrows during data transfer); new kernel & settings; new drive caching settings (to hopefully fix all lag problems - with and without app2sd active).

Errata:
Note: errata from stable build also applies - this section only lists errata unique to the nightly build)
1. Icons look low quality (dithered) in ADWLauncher (it's a problem with the source, not my modifications). Graphics look fine everywhere else.
2. Please note, from v0.4 onwards, "madteam_app2sd" is now renamed "mad2sd". The script has the same parameters as the old script (on/off/swapon/swapoff), and it can now be used from the phone terminal. I will leave this note here until the stable release receives this update - then I'll adjust all mentions of "madteam_app2sd" in post #1.
3. Due to a tiny oversight in v0.4, app2sd will not work if you already have it active on v0.3. Please run the following command while v0.3 is still running:
Code: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
adb shell touch /data/.mad2sdYou can now flash v0.4 and app2sd will work properly. Ignore these instructions if you're not using app2sd yet, or you have activated it in v0.4.

Nightly Testing

Nightly v0.6 now includes the 2.6.32-9 CodeAurora kernel from here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Samsung use the same repository for their official kernel, but they stopped tracking upstream changes since some time in 2010. They also added some I5500-specific patches and drivers to this older code.

For my kernel, I pulled the latest version of the 2.6.32 sources, and then manually merged Samsung's extra patches and drivers. The result is that we now have a more up-to-date kernel that should include several bugfixes and improvements. You can see the full upstream changelog (that doesn't include Samsung's or my own changes) here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

I also have a 2.6.35-11 kernel ported with 90% of the hardware functioning, but the remaining 10% (sensors, and most importantly, the internal NAND drivers) makes it unsuitable to be used at the moment.

Please test this release thoroughly, and report anything unusual compared to older versions. I would also appreciate if you test for the WiFi sleep bug.

Cyanogen 7 (Gingerbread 2.3.3)
Current version: test2.6GA - 24/April/2011

Hey folks,

I'm starting a new thread on my Gingerbread build to help me keep better track of releases (as I can't edit the first post in the existing topic). I'll keep a changelog in this first post, along with the latest news and links. When Motafoca resumes his development, we can merge the topics again, or keep them separate if we decide to maintain separate builds. Either way, we'll share the source for anyone to hack Register or Login<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Special thanks to Motafoca* for all the "help" given by constantly interrupting me during development...

WARNING!
* Please read the notes below before using this ROM!
* This is alpha-quality software, and some functions are still not available compared to the Froyo builds!

Release list/changelog:
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 24/Apr/2011 - fixed lcd density (now 120); added low dpi resources to fix various graphical problems (such as lock widget, boot animation, overlapping widgets, badly sized icons); added FM Radio app (but hardware is not yet working).
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - 23/Apr/2011 - first release.

Instructions:
1. Flash .tar file in Odin with One Package option.
2. When recovery boots, do data/cache wipe.

Working:
* GPS
* 3G
* sensors
* video
* audio (recording and playback)
* touchscreen (no multitouch, don't ask because I'm not working on it)

Partially working:
* WiFi
-- fully functional, but WiFi signal strength icon does not work correctly.
-- automatic reconnection doesn't always work correctly
* telephony
-- on first boot, answering a call with hardware keys will cause a reboot. Can be worked around if you make a call and hang up after first boot.
-- while in a call, the wrong microphone is being used (the top microphone is activated, not the bottom)

Not working/unknown:
* Bluetooth - hardware works, but services are not set up yet (will be fixed in a later release)
* Headphones - they get detected, but audio does not get rerouted.
* EXT4 app2sd (regular Gingerbread app2sd -> FAT32 probably works)
* Radio - no radio app is included for us to test hardware.
* USB Storage Mode - see errata.
* Root - see errata.

Errata:
1. You must use the Google Talk app to sign into your Google Account. You can then select and download the Google apps (Gmail, Maps, Youtube, etc.) that you desire.
2. The Market app will not work until you have first signed into your account (using Google Talk).
3. Root is not working fully. You have superuser access over adb, but not on the phone. This is a permissions issue, and is being investigated.
4. Some games (e.g. Angry Birds Rio, FPSE) are currently unstable due to audio bugs. This will be fixed as soon as possible.
4. USB Storage Mode doesn't work automatically when you connect to PC. You can use these workarounds:
Code: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
adb push C:\your\file /mnt/sdcard/
adb install c:\your\file.apk"
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/your/file

P.S. We'll release the source soon - it needs a lot of cleanup.


Is this true? 2.3 gingerbread ? Wohooo! Pls provide feedback on how excellent this Rom is? How is this different from the previous releases? Speed performance?

* He knows I'm only kidding Register or Login<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />. This build uses Motafoca's kernel and framework tweaks to fix telephony problems.

wow! this is so great! 2.3 Gingerbread for G5?! You made it possible!  Great job!  Thanks!


downloading now...

May i know what does this mean?
* EXT4 app2sd (regular Gingerbread app2sd -> FAT32 probably works)
How do we partition our SD for 8GB?
