I'm following the forums around it but from what I heard CM7 doesn't fully support the SGS yet though this might change soon since Samsung released the kernel sources a few weeks ago.
Another concern is that the CM7 apparently doesn't add battery or speed on top of stock 2.3 Android. For this I saw recommendation for DebusROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893385) which sounds like it addresses what I care about - battery life, stability and speed (in SGS' case - no lag). Nice detailed Youtube reviews and howto's can be found here: http://www.androidgalaxy.net/cyanogenmod-7-detailed-review/ I'm still waiting to either find detailed instructions for updating my SGS from native Linux or Mac OS-X (probably with Heimdell) or get my workplace to sponsor the license to install Windows in a VM just for this (I just don't have access to Windows these days). If I get access to Windows then I'll try to follow the Youtube instructions in androidgalaxy.net. If someone can point me to *detailed* instructions how to achieve that without Odin then I'd love to hear - I don't have time to mess with a dead phone if I screw things up or to sit through tons of text which assumes you already know tons of jargon TLA's etc. I tried following instructions but they all either start by assuming you know the acronyms and the basic stuff or I end up chasing explanations of the terms used in the instructions. --Amos On 5 May 2011 00:59, Antony Gelberg <antony.gelb...@gmail.com> wrote: > If you're inclined, check out the CyanogenMod ROM.
