[Galaxy S II General] wonaldng:
While I'm in some financial strife and close to losing my house right now, I won't pledge anything.

As a developer I have a great deal of respect for the CM team. I tried flashing CM5 on my old HTC Magic many times, but it kept boot-looping. It was only after I bought a SGII that I figured out I had to update the radio on the Magic, finally got CM running and was really impressed.

Like most here, I'm looking forward to the stable release, but I'm not one to whine and moan... and when the time comes I'll make an appropriate donation, I'm not a cheapskate. Sometimes I think I'm one of the few people on the planet who has a real Winrar licence for example. ;)

I'd encourage everyone to pay what they think it's worth, god knows an operation system licence can run into the hundreds and we use our phones everyday.

Good luck to the team on the remaining bugs.
[Galaxy S II General] airuzzo:
Stable???? Half of feature aren't working and u call stable the cm7 rom??? Lolz

Cognition rom is the perfect rom, for daily use, all stuff working.. And not bull****!
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Know that we don't actually ask for anything - a thanks is good enough. Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] Droid117:
Can't donate as money's tight but good luck to the winner anyway ;) Somebody let me know when the winning rom has been made?
[Galaxy S II General] Slick_42:
Just shut up you ignorant fool. Learn the difference between a cooked rom and an AOSP bulid before you talk again.
[Galaxy S II General] tekomni:
Is there a current bug list? I assume this is still in alpha testing?

I'll donate $15 for a stable rom.
[Galaxy S II General] SS2006:
why create a bounty for the S2 when it was gonna get CM7 from the CM team itself anyways..
[Galaxy S II General] mi3x:
CM7 is already there, there is no "stable version", because it will always be in development, it's a work in progress, new features/bugs solved are added daily.

@SS2006 - they are doing this out of passion, not as their job, posts like yours does not stimulate people like these developers at all. You think that if you bought an SGS2 you "deserve" CM7? Think again.
[Galaxy S II General] khal_nayak:
does the current development version at least make the phone work with basic operations without issues such as SMS, MMS, phone calls, contacts, logs, pictures and cam so i can attempt to flash it and help in locating bugs etc
[Galaxy S II General] yendis144:
AtinM (he's one of the developers of Cyanogenmod) says this on his Google+ profile:
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Umm, that is a commonly misunderstood statement - what we mean is "don't enter bugs in the CyanogenMod bug tracker when the bug is with a nightly". When the bug is with an RC or release, then you're supposed to use the bug tracker, and only the bug tracker! You can report bugs in the Q&A thread, unless you also have logcat and dmesg output and maybe even some analysis of what exactly you did to reproduce it - use the development/debugging thread then. Though most bugs should be fixed now, there are some features missing that we're continuing to work on (like bluetooth audio, some additional media support), and are also enhancing the feature set.

I wish i could donate but cant

waiting for rom and thank you guys

Sorry but why we call this build is "Nightly Builds" ? ? ? Why don't call it "dayly builds" ? What is Nightly builds mean ? Thanks alot !

Don't know if it's already reported, Steve Kondik reportedly joined Samsung Mobile recently. Reported in Engadget, TIMN...

[Galaxy S II General] khal_nayak:
is it suppose to mean slower progress on CM for sgs2 or samsung wanting their default firmwares to be like CM.

i noticed this while reading the community support section on this page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II

"Samsung sent Galaxy S II's to four developers of the CyanogenMod project with the only request being to bring CyanogenMod to the device"

i guess now samsung wants all 4 of those develoeprs to work for them :)
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
No short-term change. He cannot be giving out stuff to CyanogenMod that is not given out to everyone. But it can mean that he gets to clean up the code so that there are fewer hacks in the framework and therefore is easier to port. The rest of us don't work for Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] fumoffuXx:
so i suppose that CM is for sgs2 progression might be affected by the fact that the creator of CM just got employed by samsung aye? lol
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
No. (I did respond to this right before your post . . .)

The development of Linux did not get affected by the fact that Linus got hired by Transmeta way back (except that he himself had less time to work on it until he switched jobs that allowed him to work on Linux full time).
[Galaxy S II General] aliander:
Plz, take me out of the Donators-List as I donated my 20$ directly to the CyanogenTeam as they offer donations through Google Checkout now (again) :D
[Galaxy S II General] khal_nayak:
it could be other way round, now that the developer is gone to Samsung, he might make the Samsung firmware only like CM and then probably u wont need CM for the awesomeness coz Samsung might just give it to every1 in their stock firmware.

all in all things will take time and i don't see CM nor the Samsung firmware being released anytime soon
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Wha?! I thought I already answered . . .
[Galaxy S II General] Ackerlight:
Waiting for stable version :)
[Galaxy S II General] hd21337:
Isnt it stable yet?
[Galaxy S II General] anonymous572:
No. Check out issue list:

- Bluetooth Audio

- Video playback - some formats are not recognized, use an alternative app for video playback

- Camera - some modes don't work

- TVout

- FMRadio

- Issues when using the 2G/3G-Switch

- Volume issues (some report too high, others too low)

But the main thing for me is Volume issues, TVout and sometimes the loss of signal (I think because of 2G/3G-Switch).
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
I am using v24 and I did not see any problems with loss of signal and volume... Did not try the camera mods though
[Galaxy S II General] SHVARZ:
Sorry this is a mistake.
[Galaxy S II General] freddieman23:
Put me in for $200

[Galaxy S II General] Inpain:
Count me in for $1000 .. yes, $1000 ... only if the mod is going to be 105% perfect with no issues whatsoever.

PM me if you need more details.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] ManInCamo:
:rolleyes:

Count me in for $10,000 but only if little people deliver it to me a USB drive, shaped like a zebra, while riding a unicycle, on a 3rd Wednesday of the month. They must also have with them a 5 lb bag of blue M&Ms, pulled and sorted from larger bags, none of this cheating and buying them en-mass from a bulk dispenser. They must be of uniform size. No freaks.:rolleyes:

The fact is, all complex software have bugs. You've offered $1000 for an unobtainable product.
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Could you please cut out the nonsense? Only genuine offers!
[Galaxy S II General] millia90:
Sign me up for $10, I'm a student and buying the actual phone itself kinda broke the bank.
[Galaxy S II General] ekoandrew:
LOL, a ROM for $10,000...if it was tat much...will be WWIII
[Galaxy S II General] oleost:
Isnt it time to give the donated money to the samsung CM7 crew?

Im using the CM7 as everyday phone, and its stable, it just missing some features.

I think the samsung crew deserves the money now.

Not until a RC comes out.

[Galaxy S II General] Ace42:
I was under the impression that "Steve Kodik" was hired by Samsung, and was the CM team not given SGSII's as a gift too? I am confused at how he's working directly with Ol-Sammy and his team has the phone, but oddly enough the phone has no CM yet? This post isn't meant to be rude at all, I'm just very puzzled at this situation. I find this sort of ironic.
[Galaxy S II General] pukemon:
Oh ****. Why is cyan in the oven when there is a microwave?

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Galaxy S II General] loverppc:
can cm7 run on m250L？
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
Yeah its much too buggy right now.
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
CM is running on this http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2 - there are some minor things that still have to be worked on, but Steve's getting hired by Samsung won't have any affect because CyanogenMod isn't going to get any special access to code that they are contract bound not to divulge (Steve cannot backdoor code to us, he is an employee of Samsung now, and would be violating contracts if he did). The only thing we are hoping for is some code cleanup by Steve internally so that subsequent devices are easier to port to, and hopefully a new code drop for the existing phones that are also easier to manage.

CM7 for Galaxys S2 is my daily driver, the only bug I care about is the bluetooth really, and I doubt anyone else will work on much beyond that and media stuff now. I will try to find time to work on bluetooth soon . . . and most probably you'll see some activity when US versions of the phone come out and we have to do some work on those (and that might possibly give us later versions of code for the current device that could help).
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
So you're saying there's no RC coming out in the near future?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
RC doesn't mean bug free. Heck, even release doesn't always mean bug free in the real world of software development. CM7 on SGS2 will hit RC whenever we reach the limits of what is possible given the source and documentation we have available to us, possibly earlier. Our test is usually "is this usable for the vast majority of people in the state that it is in?". For that, we are basically trying to get bluetooth and more media codecs, maybe a couple of other things related to audio like FM radio (I need to do a wrapper for libaudio, and hopefully that will clean up many of the audio issues) and we'll call it done. The software is always in flux, and will remain so as more/newer people get involved, more source becomes available, etc . . .
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
What about overclocking/undervolting?
[Galaxy S II General] netchip:
Just build an OC kernel :)

Take ninphetamine sysfs interface.

Paste in into your kernel.

Build it, flash it.

Take Setcpu and clock your CPU to 1.6GHz :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
sorry i know this might sound like a really stupid question but build 39 is that the most stable out of them all? and really the only problem now is the bluetooth, other than that cyanogen is good to use for a daily use
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
But there is a menu in CM7 for overclocking, I would rather use that when it's done...
[Galaxy S II General] dead soul:
I cant keep waiting man..!!! why cant they make phones as simple as computer ?? we can flash stuff easily without the worry of bricking a device ?? Dammmm

The phone was out since May..!! and now it september and the hottest phone on the market hasnt received a stable Cyanomod 7 ??!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] simondavies315:
You have to bare in mind Cyanogenmod is open source and a lot of the bits the developers need are closed source meaning they have to reverse engineer them. This takes time and Samsung can not make them open source as they do not own the legal rights to do so. Please learn about the terms I have used and you will gain a better understanding. From experience coding is hard :)
[Galaxy S II General] Kreeeee:
Are there any more detailed instructions on how to do this?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] bracketb4d:
Hi,

I'm pretty confused, I went to the Cyanogenmod website today and was surprised to find it listed as being a supported device. Great, but why are there no files to download in the stable section ? Am I missing something ? The stable thread on their forums is empty too.

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-s2
[Galaxy S II General] NickoPulver:
Because they haven't released one yet. .....and are still working on this device.....haven't solved all of the problems yet. .....thats why.......
[Galaxy S II General] robbiev80:
I've been using CM7 on my SGS2 since it came out here in Canada. It's stable enough for me

and that is why I've donated rather than be picky about it.
[Galaxy S II General] NickoPulver:
I have also used it since the first nightly.....and would be using it dayly if i wouldn't be in the need of bluetooth headset at work. ....never had a problem with the nightlies. .....always worked for me.....
[Galaxy S II General] bracketb4d:
I'm new to Android and have only been flashing official Sony roms from the thread Intratech posts in.

Would you recommend I make the jump into rooting & CM at this point or shall I wait few months until things work out of the box ? I really don't want to have to manually tinker with system files in order to get stuff working.

edit: also is the stuff about acceleration and speed still valid for the current CM SG2 versions ?

See this post in this same thread.

[Galaxy S II General] hicks:
@bracket, up to you really - but you'd probably be best starting with one of the more stable roms that are around if you're a beginner. CM7 is fearsome, but is still not quite 100% yet for the SGS2.

[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
Camera?
[Galaxy S II General] Fustigador:
x2, the nightlies i flashed were fine for my use, fast and stable, but the lack of camera as good as stock one is keeping me out of this rom.

:(
[Galaxy S II General] timonoj:
Ah well, in my case when I flashed CM into my poor late Nexus One, I did it because I then got more features/functions than the stock roms. If actually i'm gonna have to lose/trade features, for the time being that's a thanks but no thanks. I'll wait until the nighties have all the standard stock functions working, then I'll consider it.
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Nexus phones are different from the others because they have all their code released and are therefore easy to extend. All the other phones require varying degrees of reverse engineering, and therefore varying degrees of support of stock features + extensions.
[Galaxy S II General] Sandwiches:
is nightly 65 based on 2.3.5 KI3?

[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I don't know how I should answer this.. CyanogenMod is NOT based from ANY firmware other than Google's. CM is based only and only on the official Google Source.
[Galaxy S II General] r8zer:
2.3.4 - is what CM is using.
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Actually it's 2.3.7. But the original question you were responding to was asking about KI3 - and no, we build our own stuff as much as possible. The binary blobs that we have to use are from KH7 I think, but I forget - codeworkx knows, he usually handles the binary blobs.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Anyone know when there will be a stable release available?
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
When I get bored and call it stable.
[Galaxy S II General] :
No, seriously.

I really want to install Cyanogenmod 7 on my phone but I don't want to have a bunch of bugs and errors.

You don't even know how badly I want Cyanogenmod on my phone. I have seen some videos of it and it is the best looking ROM I have ever seen.

Also, will I be able to use whatever kernel I want with it?

What about the current release, if I install it on my phone, is it likely that I will run into errors and bugs?

If you have waited this long to try it why haven't you been reading all the threads about it....all your answers are there. ....and i have used this rom since nightly 0....and i have had no problem using it. .......

And if you feel like you can't install it cause it's unstable.....then read while waiting.......there are 4 threads that has cyanogen in the name and in them everyone will find their answers. ..i follow them all in tapatalk.....

[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Yeah - we got skipped in the last cycle, so we just jumped up. Not a lot changes, you get to file bugs though, and we'll fix them (if we can) in a .1 release. The idea what that it is mostly stable, and usable now. Of course, we might have a whole new level of stable if some of what we are working on pans out and a .1 release would be amazing.

[Galaxy S II General] :
So is CM7.1 a stable release? If so, where can I find information on how to properly flash the ROM?

Also, what Radio is CM7.1 based on and what kernel? Can I change the kernel to whatever I want to after I flash it?

Also, I have CriskeloROM v22 right now. Can I upgrade without losing my settings or should I wipe and then install?
[Galaxy S II General] xinhang:
I just flashed it again use CWM
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
OK so now that CM7.1 is released how do we proceed ?

Should we just donate individually to the cyanogenmod project ? Or to the people responsible for the SGS2 port directly ?

Maybe we'd need proof that we've donated, so that if they don't get their 3394$ we know who needs to be reminded to donate ^^
[Galaxy S II General] simonk83:
I'd hold off. I'm having all sorts of freezing issues with it (right now the screen is on but the touchscreen is completely unresponsive). It's been doing it a lot. Back to my old ROM for now and I'll jump back when it actually is stable.
[Galaxy S II General] salocosta:
THX, xinhang

For the noobs (like me), if it freezes on the Galaxy S2 - I9100 screen, just press vol up, home and power buttons to enter on CWM 5 and re-flash the .zip archive.
