[FAQ] CyanogenMod 9 - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Since I love CM9 that's been ported/ongoing development to SGS4G by bhundven I'll start a FAQ thread that typically answered general questions, discussion (so bhundven wont be angry), and typically all questions that has not been answered goes here: CyanogenMod 9 Q&A
How do I install CyanogenMod 9?
If you have ClockworkMod already you can skip to step 2
1) Follow instructions here until you get ClockworkMod (CWM). You don't need to install tweaks or extra stuff.
2) If you have ClockworkMod already what are you waiting for! Go follow the instructions here and make sure you follow by the letter or else you'll end up with a bricked phone.

What healthcare benefits do I get if I install CM9?
You get none so if you brick your phone it's not our fault, Bhundven's and Lumins instructions worked flawlessly for me so you must have did something wrong in your end.

What does all these acronyms mean?!?!

Where are my Google apps! Wheres the market! I want my money back!
Calm your nips, if you read the instructions you would have your Google apps. Google apps are abbreviated as "gapps" so go download it on the CM9 thread and flash it.

Yea Brian said he doesn't spend his time updating the OP, if I remember correctly. But if you look at one of the thanks it says FFC fix (thanks to m4xm4n) And I can also confirm that it works as of the 0.3 release

psst wouldnt this be better suited here?

Or even in the Q&A section?

Imnuts is working on CWM for the charge. I think the hold up at the moment is finding a way to make the hardware buttons work with it but I'm not sure.

Do a quick search, and you'll find probably upwards of 20 threads explaining it
Step 1) Hold down power and volume down
Step 2) Pray to Lord Satan
Step 3) ???
Step 4) Unlock bootloader

Than you didn't spend much time looking. My Index thread (sticky at the top of Development) clearly points to the proper methods for each firmware version.
I would advise the OP, and other n00bs, to be careful about blindly following YouTube guides. Its a shortcut around proper reading and learning. And lack of proper knowledge will get you into trouble. The type of trouble that YouTube guides will not be much help getting you out of. YouTube videos might be a good supplement to, but not a replacement for, proper learning.

I'm not positive about this, but maybe a general forum post linking the work, or recommending the work would be in order, but posting in development not sonsure about, especially if you didn't get permissions.

You are right. I will ask for permission. About dwvwlopment thread, I spent a lot of time looking for the fix to make it compatible with n9005. This is even in the op on original rom thread.

I know Devon credited you for the time you spent, I was just letting you know that you should speak with him
This ROM is the best ROM hands down, and everyone should have the chance to flash it.. I'm just saying maybe putting it in the general section would be best.. But I'll leave that to you guys to figure out, but historically he only supports the devices he's on, as its his baby and he enjoys the learning part of things. So idk..
Yeah I agree. I don't have an issue as long as things are linked back to our respective threads and download links. Which seems to be already done.
But make sure Dwith is cool with it. And don't ask for donations based the stuff provided in this thread. Otherwise you're cool bro.

[Q&A][6.0.1][ROM] CyanogenMod 13

As there is no official Q&A thread dedicated to the CM13, I thought I'd make one myself on behalf of @Olivier
Any questions, Ask away and it will be answered..
Link to the development thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3254779
Simple stuff to follow before reporting a bug/error:
1. Make a clean install.
2. Any FC or crashes, report with a logcat.

I am happy to help in this forum, that I regret that there are sections that by not having more than one certain number of comments you can not comment. happened to me that any could have helped and have not been able to put my solution I am sorry that this is so I do not agree at that point in this forum, there are people who can provide much, and surely have not been able to publish their respuestae of aid. Thanks again for opening a post in which everyone can participate or what it is to help deserroyar the system, thank you.
Hey guys its been a long time since I've been on xda. So I'm currently running lollipop and just want to clarify a few things if that's alright with you guys. Firstly does anyone know if doze mode works on this build because i was really excited about this feature. I also want to ask one more thing. Do you guys use the adoptable storage feature? If so how are you finding it and are there any bugs with it. That's it guys sorry for the long post but i hope i get some feedback of you guys. Thanks for reading.
No, doze isn't there.. also, the adoptable storage works fine.. but like we could move ONLY SOME APPS to the SD Card in previous android versions, it is the SAME to be honest... am using it currently.. but it can help save some space for new apps...
The only problem is, we still can't choose to directly download apps to the Ext SD.. like if you download a big game, like FIFA 15 or something, it won't get downloaded..
Also, you may like to know that the Camera doesn't work in the latest alpha(ALPHA 3) as of now

No, logcats do not reveal your personal data...
Yeah, you should take logs as soon as the bug takes place
What bug did u face btw?
I have a question myself,
Can't the cm12.1 cam libs be used to fix the cam bug?
If the camera libs from the Alpha 1 could be PMed to me by someone, I can try fixing it in the Alpha 3 maybe?

This really should be in the Development section. It should also be posted buy the Developer or Maintainer.
I dont get what is this...
It's like a thread dedicated for these, directly under this one, doesn't exist...
There is no maintainer for this rom...
Blast from the past with this rom!
Here we go with this guy again. Can we just report all his stupid posts from now on? Isn't this violating XDA rules in some way? Also, this download is not on their G+ page. Not that I can find anyway.

I personally don't mind them as it brings to my attention new roms without me having to go looking. Not an issue at all.

I'm glad he shared. May not have followed whatever courtesy guidelines, but you weren't sharing ti with us, and I can't be bothered to scroll through the jumbled mess of google+. I have only been running it a day, so can't really review it, but I haven't have a single real problem with it. Every thing works, and runs smoothly. Only problem I have noticed so far is the stutter when rotating while playing youtube, but I get that on all of the custom roms for this phone. so thanks for the share gavsi
