With my previous devices what CM support really means is that your phone continues to be useful long after the manufacturer no longer cares. So if you're planning to be on a different phone in 6 months time then CM doesn't offer a whole lot beyond the cool factor.

I'm planning to keep this thing for at least 2 years... which means I have to hope and pray for CM support so I can continue to keep up with whatever google comes up with next.
[Galaxy S II General] erowlin:
I would like to donate.
[Galaxy S II General] steve_clifton:
I will be donating for this also,

look forward to so CM :D
[Galaxy S II General] kenang83:
Hi

I put 20$...
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Then tell us which amount you would like to donate?
[Galaxy S II General] jackierobinson:
So are people just saying how much they will donate? And then when CM7 comes out they're all going to come back to the thread and donate their said amount?

Will it actually happen?
[Galaxy S II General] AllWin:
Nice question. Well, some people will get "missing", i'm sure, but some will donate ;) If games will be working with no freezes i'll donate, promise (unless something very bad will happen to me (knocking three times to the wood)). On my previous phones i was running CM most of time and i liked it very much. I'd love to have it on my SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] steve_clifton:
I'll do it on my own accord and direct to CM
[Galaxy S II General] aejt:
You're not donating for THIS if you're donating to CM and not team hacksung though. Not saying donating to CM is bad or anything, they deserve it as well, but team hacksung are the ones bringing CM to GS2 and that's what this thread is about.
[Galaxy S II General] steve_clifton:
I see, i misunderstood the first post (as simple as it is to understand)
[Galaxy S II General] ivanlmh:
Guess no ETA on when this is official. I really do love CM7 mod alot
[Galaxy S II General] vlgligor:
Consider me in with 15 USD for the time of first stable version! Thank you for your work!
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Once a stable ROM comes out all users who pledged a donation here will be contacted via PM. If you'd like to donate for this, then please name your amount so it can be added to the bounty.
[Galaxy S II General] Network_Pro:
I want a good quality ROM for my S2.

Once I am pleased with it, I can donate. Put me in the list for 25$ initially.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Put me down for €5
[Galaxy S II General] xfile087:
Put me down for £10 for first stable release =)
[Galaxy S II General] Freddan80:
I have prepared myself with a brand new Paypal account, I have a gut feeling that sometime soon greatness will happen.

I atleast will hold my promise to donate to Team Hacksung weather they want it or not.
[Galaxy S II General] JWadle:
Donation

Looking foward to CM7 for my SGS2. I'm in for $20.
[Galaxy S II General] nraudigy2:
The team is waiting for more bounty $ before they put out CM7. J/k lol :)

Don't kill me for this post.
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Wow - $3K! Now I'm totally approving that nightlies go out now.

Not!

We're still working on hardware encoding (so that you can take video in higher resolutions without jitters) and bluetooth (or we are supposed to be working on bluetooth, but no one actually is, because all of us keep going back to hardware codecs because we're so close).
[Galaxy S II General] notoriouspk:
Cynogenmod galaxy s2 i9100

waiting for some Nightlies but have to say ATiNm ur a real teaser :P thankyou for ur time and hardwork TEAm
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Nice one guys, good luck with it!
[Galaxy S II General] nikola92:
Good job i would donate but in my country theres no pay-pal :(
[Galaxy S II General] PygmalionJones:
Looking real forward to this, thanks team
[Galaxy S II General] break1:
amazing.

But please just finish work on hardware codecs and then release nightlies finally :)

I think bluetooth isn't that necessary for a daily user. Nice to have it but not important.

Later then you can release fix for bluetooth and then its done and perfect :D

thanks for the amazing work and effort you guys put in this. awesome
[Galaxy S II General] Dannyboyni:
I am sorry bluetooth is a must have, it wont be released without bluetooth.
[Galaxy S II General] disiples:
really lookin forward to this!
[Galaxy S II General] notoriouspk:
Cynogen Muhaha! soon soon

hmmm lemme guess with ur hardwork and dedication i have a feeling by the weekend we might see some nightlies ...just a wild guess! hehe keep it up ... ur time and effort is highly appreciated guys
[Galaxy S II General] notoriouspk:
Team i have a humble request if u guys r kind enough to look into ..WIFI signal strength which is quite weak ..and the back cover gets a bit hot while playing games i am not sure if thats a software issue ..battery life is good but i am sure with cynogen it will improve as all the crap from samsung is removed ..

1 wifi strength

2 heat issue (games vids)

3 battery improvements

THANKS TEAM !
[Galaxy S II General] disiples:
that'll be the dual core !

Did i just see home screen in portrait mode, or is that standard anyway.

How are u guys finding the phone in comparison to others used

Love your work

Is mhl-hdmi & otg usb work in CM?
[Galaxy S II General] AirfixPilot:
This is totally normal, processor works harder and therefore gets hotter.

[Galaxy S II General] archimedesmp:
Nice, I am looking forward to it :)

(though, seems like not for very much longer)

Too bad I can't find any nightlies :/
[Galaxy S II General] Rafale83:
You can add 30$ from me.

[Galaxy S II General] flooki:
Looks awesome :) I have a quick question and I'm sorry if it has been answered already. Does this run at 24-bit color?
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
take as long as you need mate best to have something that is 100% workable and stable than to rush it:)

Donation from a noob...

Hi all, I'm a noob (just signed up on this site about 2 mins ago, purchased my 1st Android phone a week ago and love it)! LMAO at the noob video that I had to watch! :p

I searched for CM7 for SGSII for one simple reason: The bluetooth A2DP SUX SUX SUX BADASS!!! The very first thing I did was pair up my bluetooth audio devices and play music from my phone, only to find it comes out sounding all distorted. For the last 5 years I've owned music phones (Motorola and Sony Ericsson) where I've put all my music onto it and streamed it via bluetooth to almost everything everything: to speakers, headphones, computers and even my car stereo.

I find it highly ironic and frustrating that the world's most popular and best phone operating system (IMO) has like the worst A2DP quality out there! I'm aware that this is an Android problem not the phone, because apparently it is a flaw inherent in the Android operating system. Why Google developed such crap A2DP quality settings is beyond me. I read on CM forums that their OS has resolved these issues, so now people relying on A2DP have solved this issue. Anyhow, so until I find a new OS for the SGSII that can stream A2DP like all the other phones do, I have to connect everything via cable, an inconvenience I've not been used to for many years admittedly...

You'll have $30USD from me if you can provide CM7 that has HD quality A2DP, as is present on most music phones out there.

Cheers, and good luck to the developer! ;)

George
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
That's one of the big things we don't have working on CM7 for SGS2 yet. That's one I want too, but have been concentrating on HD recording for video.
[Galaxy S II General] simondavies315:
I'm having problems installing the ClockworkMod Recovery for Samsung Galaxy S2.

I'm getting an error message on reboot into Recovery saying:

Cannot verify whole signature, signature verification failed

I'm coming from Litening ROM with CF Root Kernel
[Galaxy S II General] ygvuhb:
https://plus.google.com/106451359869410125190/

So no otg usb support in CM?

otg is very useful

Can anyone change the nightly build into a micro sd?

as a dual boot?
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
otg isn't major. it's kinda useless on phone.

on 10" tablets where you can watch movies it's usefull, but not on 4,3".

your phone got 16gb internal memory and you can extend it by using microsd. that's enough. ;-)

ots is just "nice 2 have".
[Galaxy S II General] ghmail2:
hi tanks for your effort on bringin cm7 on galaxy s 2

before i used a desire, the root seems really easy on that device, just with 1 click tool then i have a perment root access and recovery ofcourse, it does no matter what kernel or which rom i want to flash on the device, the recovery just stay there, not mention with a s-off,i can change the recovery img in fastboot, but there is something different on gs2, when i use cf root i get a recovery but when i flash another rom or kernel , the recovery is always gone, can you tell what the difference between htc and samsung?

are there any root method can give you a "always there" recovery?

Vielen Dank

Grüße
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
samsung phones don't have a separate recovery partition.

kernel and recovery are combined.

if you flash another kernel, recovery changes too.
[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
Please help me a little, this is my first android phone.

I dont get it, why is everyone so hyped about CM7?

What makes it so special?

oh, and does CM7 remove TouchWiz? Cuz I need TW :p
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
TW is part of every Samsung ROM.

CM7 is built from Sources, this means there's no Samsung stuff in, and Samsung Stuff cannot be used.

If you want to use TW, then CM is not for you.
[Galaxy S II General] robbiev80:
Part of the excitement is that it gets rid of the awful TW. So it's probably not for you. :p
[Galaxy S II General] Toffei:
hehe yeah, still i'd say him: Try it, you prolly fall in love with it like we did! :)
[Galaxy S II General] TheGaslight:
Sorry for posting this here, but I'm unable to post on the developers forum.

Just installed CM7, works great, but I can't connect to WIFI anymore. Stuck on Obtaining IP Address. Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] rhasti:
Love that Rom. Really nice and all setup within 45 mins.

TheGaslight:

Had this issue as well.

Problem was my wireless router did reboot that one and wlan worked like a charm.

Thanks to the devs
[Galaxy S II General] TheGaslight:
Thanks rhasti. Tried that but still no luck. However, if I type the WPA key in capitals it gets stuck on authenticating instead...hmmm.
[Galaxy S II General] velgador0:
You could use the TouchWhiz 4.5 app with CM though.
[Galaxy S II General] mrdalez:
love the rom. battery life improved as well
[Galaxy S II General] ygvuhb:
i am not use otg for video

just for exchange file with others, as not everyone's phone have wifi direct

and read photo from other camera Memory card, exhange large amount photo outdoor

so it is useful for me, hope can build up otg in later nightly:D

i ready for wait longlonglong time,
[Galaxy S II General] Breece:
How is the Android OS bug doing? :)
[Galaxy S II General] evox84:
I think the android bus id finally gone with this awesome rom
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
... what OS bug ... and if you know what bug, then just install CM7 and test it yourself.
[Galaxy S II General] Aldonski:
Not good. I think he may be dead.
[Galaxy S II General] mrdalez:
so far so good. battery life is significantly better.

a full charge usually lasted me 12 hours or so when i was on the litening rom.

now its been 13 hours and i have 80% left.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
I can confirm Android OS bug exists in CM7 too. :(

I've been using the phone more than an hour and Android OS use is over 30%.

I'm now sure that this bug lies in Samsung's drivers and not the OS, if it shows up in CM7 too.
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
A high number is meaningless. It's not a bug if the Android OS is actually using 30%. If you do nothing with your phone from full charge to 0% - Android OS will be the majority of that drop. What matters is how your battery lasts. What you need to do is run something like CPUSpy and see how much your phone goes into deep sleep.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Been there, done that, I've researched this issue very deeply, believe me. On my friend's Galaxy S1, Android OS is under 5% at all times no matter how much or how little he uses his phone. On my S2, it sometimes reaches 95%, especially if I'm using wifi.

This is not a criticism on CM7 by any means, this is Samsung's issue clearly.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
I posted this on other relevant threads but I'll post it here too, color gradient banding bug is gone with CM7! Everything looks fantastic! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
No it's not, get over it. It's an hardware issue, it will NEVER DISAPPEAR
[Galaxy S II General] goodey:
it aint a issue ffs lol.. its like saying if i leave my TV on standy by for 1 week without turning it on why has my standby light used 99% of the power used...

ffs use your heads lol
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Well, it has disappeared on my phone, so my hardware must be different than yours, or maybe CM7 transformed my hardware.

I've loaded many wallpapers and games like Angry Birds opening scene where there was banding previously, and now with CM7 it's still there if you look very carefully, but it's much much less noticable.
[Galaxy S II General] coolzy:
$20 bucks! CDN!

Ill donate $20 CDN!...

Im going to pick up my SG2 tomorrow...
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
Can you plz upload a screen shot?? I really want to see, because I really hope you're right, because then there is hope for my GS2.

Banding is easily visible and so it's SUCH a shame! :/
[Galaxy S II General] aejt:
So if he leaves his phone on without touching it for 48h, Android OS will be under 5%? What's the other 95% then?
[Galaxy S II General] bitmaster2000:
I'll donate $20. Been waiting forever.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Two lines, something like Cell Idle and Phone Idle, the way it should be.
[Galaxy S II General] aliander:
Is there already a place to donate?

As there seems to be some progress (made public) now, I'd like to support in the beginning, so they can keep up their amazing work :D
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
No, first a stable release must be available. You can always donate yourself though.
[Galaxy S II General] smashingbroom:
Put me in for $20.
[Galaxy S II General] Artius89:
This.

banding it's still present but it's way way less noticeable.
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
If the phone gets stolen, CM7 emits a subtle electric shock to the thief's brain, forcing him to hand the phone in to the police.

If the phone is dropped and the screen smashes, CM7s healing powers automatically fixes it by reversing time.

But best of all, CM7 has a hidden feature which when accessed, predicts the winning numbers of the national lottery. It's no coincidence that most lottery winners had already upgraded to the cyanogen mod before hitting the jackpot.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Drat. I knew there was a catch. :)
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Everybody can donate outside this thread however. :)
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
You can donate to teamhacksung using my donation link http://xdaforums.com/donatetome.php?u=3208754 or to the whole cyanogenmod team using the donation stuff on bottom of http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
[Galaxy S II General] nmedina:

[Galaxy S II General] prozact:
Never tried Cyanogenmod but if it's as good as a lot of people seem to say and are willing to pay, i might be able to make a donation :)
[Galaxy S II General] srr118:
It should be out soon i hope
[Galaxy S II General] androidlover287:
I can't donate

i am sorry but i can't donate as i don't have a debit/credit card but i would like to try a rom.
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
That you can do anyway, check the OP at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112916 . . . a donation is not a requirement, and in fact, teamhacksung keeps tabs on this thread purely for entertainment (it doesn't get as heated here as the real threads for CM7).
[Galaxy S II General] bambam82:
better than darky2

What makes it better than Darky2?

I have tried it once on SGS1, but i didn't found it that good...
[Galaxy S II General] Kikko2000:
If you didn't fint it that good on SGS1 you should really stay on Darky', that is really not the ROM for you.
[Galaxy S II General] majoodmud:
15 $ but with battery improvement
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
yeah this thread makes me lol too...

so... guys.. stable CM7 is out... might not have everything working, but it IS stable.

How are you getting this money to them now????? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] vlgligor:
Not to be picky, but I wouldn't call this stable:
[Galaxy S II General] bentez2003:
$20 for a stable feature filled CM rom.

I'll make it $50 if its achieved in the next 2 months :D:D
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
not a fan of cm but would like more Devs working on this device.

count me in.

$20 for stable release with optimization,
[Galaxy S II General] jutley:
Donation

$20 here awell for a stable release
[Galaxy S II General] salamt:
$10 for stable release
[Galaxy S II General] forgetmyname:
I'll chip in 15 euros. I did the same when the i9000 came out. (Not that there is a fully stable version of CM for i9000, yet).

HTC seem to be locking the bootloaders, which makes CM on HTC (perhaps) problematic. The i9100 bootloaders are unlocked. Perhaps we shall see better development for the i9100 now?
[Galaxy S II General] Febrodroid:
Here we go! I am willed to give $30
[Galaxy S II General] MattWPBS:
£10, not $10.

So that's $16.35 ish.
[Galaxy S II General] Tough.Enough:
$20 here as well
[Galaxy S II General] AMDPOWERFIST:
$15 Australian (which is like $16 US)

Hardware accelerated for sure.

Must be exactly like the SGS1, its AMAZING
[Galaxy S II General] risq:
Still no dev input on this thread!

I know Paul @ Modaco has the S II and is going to fix the shutter sound issue over the next day or so.

Hopefully more get involved!
[Galaxy S II General] bytemuncher:
Not really interested in CM, but interested in drumming up support for this model in general.

Maybe a better idea would be to identify the best developer(s) on this board who don't plan to move to the sgs2 and pitch in to buy them a phone...getting them to defect to this camp. I'd contribute $20 for that.
[Galaxy S II General] iakovidis:
30euro from me for fully working functional e.t.c.

Please OP note that my offer is only valid until SGS3 comes in my hands.
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Will take quite some time I assume. :)
[Galaxy S II General] pantosssp:
CM7 is not finished for SGS1 (full of bugs and without FM radio) so wait in a good seat or couch :)
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
It sounds like a nice idea, but this method has been tried before and does not have a good track record. If you can find a developer who wants to develop for the SGS2 but can't afford a device then this might be a good idea - but trying to force someone to develop with bribes rarely leads to success. :D
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
or it needs to be a bribe higher than his salary

means at least 10K :P
[Galaxy S II General] hanged_man:
as soon as the phone releases internationally and get my hands on one, im going to donate $15
[Galaxy S II General] mihai89:
the latest nightly builds have been very stable as a daily phone and it does have fm radio you just have to flash it..
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
i dont think the need for CM on this phone its a beast, and thats just enough i think..
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
Agreed... I like messing around and modding stuff that I don't like whenever I get a new device. But I haven't actually even rooted mine yet because there is absolutely nothing I have found that I want to even change yet... it's a first.
[Galaxy S II General] AllWin:
I'll have to cancel my 20 euro offer. Sorry, couldn't wait any longer, got HTC Sensation.
[Galaxy S II General] khal_nayak:
$20 from me

- good battery life

- proximity sensor should detect closer similar to iphone rather than longer range currently

- efficient use of hardware
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
I don't know why this thread makes you lol, but whatever.

I for one would like to wait until the ROM is really functional. A ROM without Bluetooth that deletes your SD-Card is not stable.
[Galaxy S II General] khal_nayak:
y dont every1 donate and the total amount gets escrowed somewhere so its guaranteed to the developers and also if more ppl start using the nightly builts then can report bugs and developers actively fix them
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Well, the way it was agreed on this thread is that everyone donates once the ROM is out in a usable form, but if everybody wants to do it differently I surely wouldn't mind. Then I don't have to maintain the donation list any more. So how you want to do it?
[Galaxy S II General] khal_nayak:
is there any developer willing to shed some light on how we go about the escrow.

sooner or later every1 has to donate coz its work in progress and soon enough a properly working CM7 will be out.
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
I will write a PM to all that have said they'd donate. When donating they should mention their username on XDA, so the devs can check who's already donated. We can't force anyone to donate so hopefully everyone keeps their promise and donates.
[Galaxy S II General] khal_nayak:
its better to pay a small amount and support open source stuff rather than not have such communities and having to stick with stuff like what apple etc gives.

(i cant believe apple hasnt been able to provide delivery reports in SMS etc till date so u can imagine $$ is better than crap so keep the community running)
[Galaxy S II General] KaliKot:
Or maybe you could have flashed the nightly build? I dont get why you get to switch to the phone with inferior specs. But whatever
[Galaxy S II General] AllWin:
Because on all my tried nightlys games kept crashing/freezing, same way as on stock ROMS. Maybe i had to wait for a bit longer, but it already took more then a month, though. Perhaps, by the time when games will be playable on SGS2, there will be new phones out, so i'll get something new.

Anyway, i'm happy with Sensation now and that's good :)
[Galaxy S II General] khal_nayak:
i have played games on stock as well as villainrom and i never faced a crash or freeze, neways atleast the enxt galaxy or something close to it wont be out till next year or so, mayb the iphone 5 might be out sooner only, lolz
