Should be correct (it's been some weeks since I started using CM7, memory is hazy).

From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...252&postcount=1

Well, you can read the steps listed on the forum URL I shared earlier. Should be hassle free as long as you have Froyo bootloader and CWM on your SGS after flashing ezbase 2.0 properly.

Big bugs for latest version? 720p video recording still jerky, mkv playback is crap, tv-out not working, fm radio not perfect yet, battery consumption still higher than samsung stock rom - do you consider these to be 'showstoppers'?

Sudden choppiness here and there during playback. Probably same as earlier nightlies, I think.

Oh well, one man's meat is another's poison, choice is the power of Android

Didn't I give you the link to the CM stuff earlier? The gapps addon link is in there.

Here you go, anyway. Should be here if not in the xda-dev post I shared before.

Chinese input can be had even in European roms, some of my friends are using euro JVO stock ROM with touchpal chinese keyboard and google pinyin ime keyboard.

14 was slower, first thing i noticed when compared to the secret 28/05 and 30/05 nightlies. Also, tethering (usb and wifi) works again now. Me happy!

Good thing for me, the wife hates video calls (sh1t quality) A number of themes available for cm7, but for me the default one is fine.

I had an iPad 64GB 3G for 5 mths until I found someone on Mudah and barter swapped it for a new Galaxy Tab 3G. During that time I was installing apps and games left and right on the iPad (yes, the app collection is big!), and my 2 yr boy really liked to play the edu-apps on it.

However, in the end, the sheer size and weight of the iPad coupled with overdependence on iTunes (imho, the sh1ttiest part about the iOS ecosystem) and very poor web and file browsing experience made me go back to Android after the last 2 months of carrying the iPad around and rarely actually using it. Happy now, the Tab is light, not too big and suits my lifestyle (for now).

For the typical mainstream user, iOS offers a very compelling experience. Once you scratch the surface, though, for a user like myself, the experience is very limiting and I felt like a retard everytime I turned my old iPad on. I get the same feeling with Safari browser and OSX too, dunno why..

Maybe Apple stuff is like durians. You either love them or you absolutely detest them. I have no problems with Apple the company, though, their constant innovations and market leadership have made computing and mobile technology all the more fun for everyone.

Latest nightlies don't support BLN anymore, if i am not mistaken.

codeworkx from teamhacksung (the guys who do the cm7 work for sgs) stated that we should not use custom kernels with latest nightlies (all those leaked after the official '14' nightly). I don't use BLN and I am staying away from custom cm7 kernels for now.

modems compatible with cm7 #15 and above are at www.codeworkx.de/download/cyanogenmod/

Added on June 1, 2011, 9:44 pmI would say that 28/05 is #15 and 30/05 is #16..

Added on June 1, 2011, 9:45 pmand there was 'kang' nightly that I consider to be #14.5

Assuming you have the pre-requisites fulfilled (e.g. Froyo bootloader), you should be able to flash to the secret #16 straight away.

I don't think so. Seems that now you can apply any of the nightlies without needing any CM7 base - the recently leaked 'secret' nightlies are about the same size as those *full* files on http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysmtd. Give it a try, will probably take 15 mins or so. If it doesn't work, there's another 15 mins of ezbase to recover

Myself, I was from ezbase 2.0 then to full*1-6-9-10-11-12-13-14-'kang'-0528 and now 0530, all updates (other than ezbase itself) were non-wipe upgrades.

Not getting this, but then again, I have not enabled anything in DSPManager because I use Voodoo Control Plus.

Not really a senior, but quite ok with CM7 la.

1) not sure, you may want to check the xda-dev forum thread on cm7-sgs for more info
2) correct zipfile. normally i marketaccess first to emulate US SIM, then I download the google apps I need
3) default modem should be fine unless you wanna experiment with others. default modem is xxjvk, I think
4) yes it does, and the newer the nightly release, the more CM7 rocks!

Not a showstopper, about 3-5% drain per hour when idle for me. I am too addicted to CM7's speed to consider going back to Samsung stock or photoshop roms.

76% now at 12:07pm, 4hours27min on battery (since 7:30am). Momax 2700mah battery, so I don't know how things will be with the stock 1500mah batt.

I asked uncle Google - http://www.differencebetween.com/differenc...-3-gingerbread/

BTW, on CM7, Google Maps locks in my position very accurately and very very quickly, sometimes within 5-8 secs. Very useful for Foursquare check-ins.

Welcome to CM7 club . Nope, no email received like you described.
