If you're using the linux kernel code, and modifying it and putting up ROMs, you have to release source. That's part of the bargain of GPL. If you're using CM7 framework, you should release that too - but since framework is under Apache license, you're not bound to. The fact that you aren't bound to doesn't make you less of a heel if you don't give back to the community that helped you. But don't call it "doing good" like you did on your thread - it's just mooching if you don't release source unless you are keeping the ROM for private use by yourself (whether you charge for it or not has no bearing on GPL if you give it to 3rd parties).

About the photos which got lost on the external sdcard. Lemme explain it like apple would do.

We've introduced something special, what we're calling "GarbageCollector".

It takes care of photos you've stored on your external sdcard. If a photo wasn't accessed for some time it get's magically deleted for you because you don't need it anymore. This results in much more free space on your phone, you can use for things you really need. So don't cry about the deleted photos, you don't need it anyway. You don't have do care about it anymore, we're doing it for you. Just use it and everything will be fine. :-)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoneMo:
Sounds like apple...it is not useful...when SGSII make about 3MB photos that are stored on my 32GB SDcard ...can i somehow store my commemorative photos on sdcard??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Aldonski:
Yes. All removed. And you can't move them back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FtrV8:
Can someone help me please. I'd love to get CM on my SGSII to test it. Been waiting all this time for SGSII support. While I was waiting I put a different ROM on it, and it has a different kernel I flashed from Odin. So to get CM should I flash CM, after all the wipes, and then when it reboots, turn it off, get it into downloading mode and flash the Codeworkx kernel?

Flash CM, then the kernel.

Is this correct? Reason I want confirmation is because the stop gap ROM I put on while waiting for CM is working great, but in the end not what I want. :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
Just follow the instructions from the 1st post.

- Flash ClockworkMod Kernel with Odin

- Go into Recovery

- Wipe / Factory Reset

- Flash CM7

- Reboot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blueflash:
thats happened to me a few times flashing roms, all contents disappear when using gallery or astro, but can be read when connect to PC had to re-format and copy back for phone to see the card again.

is it something to do with clockwork mod as that can't see SD card either?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Razer(x):
It doesn't worked for me, i had to re-wipe and re-flash to make it work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] drkaos:
Works perfectly. At the first flash the home button didn't work, flashed again (1 minute) and now it works great!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KaliKot:
The home button didnt work for me as well, so I just rebooted and then it worked.

Im getting a few FC's randomly, anyway to fix it? nothing major because the app still runs after the FC but kinda annoying

With CWM 4.0.1.0 - could not install CM7 - Assert error 7 etc (tried redownloading file, repacking zip, formatting data/system/cache, etc, no good)

With CWM 4.0.0.8 - had to install CM7 twice (1st very quick, then straight away reinstalled) - all fine.

Once I figured out the install, it's been running perfectly for me. No problems with overheating, battery great, SMS & phone working fine, very zippy.

Impressive job.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
When you've downloaded CWM 4.0.1.0?

I've posted a new version today.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hoseth0711:
Thank you for this great rom, just got a bit over 4000 in quadrant with totaly stock cm7 and kernel, im impressed..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kzakaria:
This is by far the BEST rom for SGS2

I have been using it for half a day now. The Haptic Feedback worked after a couple of reboots. Right now ALL WHAT I NEED IS WORKING. This is unbelievable for the first CM7 ROM. Excellent job :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FtrV8:
Thank you kind sir!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bouzoubaa:
Guys... I think there is a huge misunderstanding here.... Insanity II CM is is not based of CM7 nightly... It s a mere rip off the stock rom without samsung bloatware.... It s a slim stock in other words... So bluetooth works and vibration works... Video incoding and decoding works... But it remains stock rom not CM7... The name is misleading... This rom has been out way before the nightly ... At least this is as far as i know... It was released on.the 16th... CM7 showed up on the 19th... Wether they had a secret source from where they got the nightly before release would be beyond my knowledge :) but they have none.of.the features in CM7
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lindsaytheflint:
I downloaded CWM 4.0.1.0 from your thread yesterday. Not your latest release.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] atinm:
I think I reacted when the person commented that their kernel dev had built the cm7 nightly from source and fixed the bluetooth and vibrator. That's when I felt wronged - if someone is going to fix bugs in the kernel, and then not open source it (let alone send us pull requests), then I'm definitely going to react. But it is possible the person had no idea what he was talking about - their kernel developer was not around for me to ask. If the ROM is stock ROM, then yeah - I don't care.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] js8:
Kudos atinm. This is much needed.

I suggest now when someone posts a question in this thread, we should just reply with this link rather than berating them, insulting then and generally communicating our superiority over people who ask questions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ivanlmh:
So the next version of nightly would be in another two weeks?

I did try to flash this one but somehow my phone gets a bit more heat than usual. Anyone facing the same?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] adyscorpius:
Noob Alert !! Nups, its ok, ur number of posts justifies ur question !!!

Nightly, like the literal meaning, is a build of whatever's on the cyanogenmod github sources every night. It might be fixed or broken, but it updates everyday !!! A changelog, as linked by the OP contains what changes each nightly contains... So you can choose to flash every day, or every couple of days, or at the time of every update which makes a difference to you, or whenever you get time...

That's why the bot is so important... He makes it each day, adding/deleting whatever changes the devs make over those 24 or so hours...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KaliKot:
So, I emptied battery, plugged in charger, infinite bootloop!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] adyscorpius:
Reboot to recovery > Wipe All partitions (Data, cache, system) > Flash Cyanogenmod again > Reboot !!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KaliKot:
Nah it was just the battery not getting enough charge to boot the OS. I booted in to CWM and then let it charge there for 10mins then rebooted

I dont know if others are getting the same issue though
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mayanks_098:
This changes EVERYTHING.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] adyscorpius:
Lol, nothing like that mate... Don't be scared... He's just being Steve Jobs for a moment !!! Trust me, he'll be back to a CM7 guy and correct it !!!

But, in another way, you're getting the best of both worlds, an Android phone with Iphone 5 features... LOL
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nightranger73:
What? Don't you think we should have been informed of this before loosing potentially important contents? Isn't the external sd a mass storage device?

Edit: LOL saw post before... but I really believed it seeing his previous posts saying I had to change the way I use my phone

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lindsaytheflint:
Except this not really a "nightly" yet. It's a pre-release before the nightlies are ready, that the devs made available for us due to popular demand. Given this, I don't think ivanlmh's question was that "noob".

ivanlmh, I don't think there are any ETAs for the "nightlies" or even a "stable" release yet. This release is purely for debugging purposes, and I suppose, because we're all too impatient. ;)

Now, back to pressing F5! :D

This is a pre-release. We shouldn't expect to be told everything about it. Anyone who backs up everything before trying a pre-release, has nothing to fear.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] The Compiler:
The Q&A thread is over here. Use that one for your next question(s) :)

The second post says "Some users report photos on the external SD-card seem to get deleted when opening the gallery", and it does so since yesterday evening :P

Really?!? This is a prerelease, so it's nothing but expected to have some bugs. Seeing there are some quite annoying bugs concerning a lot of users, why should yours, which is very minor and not really important, be fixed after just a few hours? Developers have a reallife as well... And bugfixing isn't just snipping your fingers and the bugs magically disappear. I don't know, but I also don't expect this bug to be fixed in the next few days.

The problem with this kind of

Last night at bedtime showed a 85-90% battery charge level

I put it on charge and went to sleep, woke up in the morning on the phone is very hot. very hot.

I tried to turn it on - it is not included.

in the end it turned out that the battery level is 0%

I have installed another firmware, and put it on charge. took 20 minutes phone charge at 10%.

In other words, for 8 hours, the phone connected to the charge and having a battery level 85% is discharged to 0% charge.

and extremely high hot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lindsaytheflint:
Seems to happen for a small amount of people. Post 2 mentions it. I charged mine for 9 hours last night, starting at 10%, and in the morning, 100%, and cool, so no issue there.

Check out the "Q: I encountered a bug, how do I find out if it's known and where can I report it?" section of the Q&A: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176411

Yep, charging fine here... Connected overnight, phone on bed, and no issues of heating whatsoever...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] anythingdust:
been to Russia? or have had visitors from my country? :)

strange that this problem is not described, and as I understand it, it happens in a small number of users

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fihlvein:
I'm sure this has been reported already, but phone dies completely if you have a torch on and screen times out.

To reproduce:

1. Set screen timeout to 15s (Settings -> Display Settings)

2. Light up torch and wait for screen to turn off

3. Phone dead

Sorry, no logs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fihlvein:
To all who suffer from phone getting really hot, it is many times stated that it usually happens when some application is reserving CPU constantly.

If you have this issue, please do the following:

1. Get free 'OS Monitor' from Market

2. Open OS Monitor options (Menu -> Options) and do the following:

a) Sort by: Load

b) Order: <check>

Now you can follow which application is reserving the CPU, it will be on the top of the main chart when you launch OS Monitor. When your phone is getting hot the next time, please check which application name is at the top of the chart and how many % it is reserving.

Normal situation is that OS Monitor is at the top reserving 15-25% (because it's monitoring), and there should be no other loads besides some random 1-5%.

Something happened last night...

I rebooted my phone after deleting the books-app, genie-widget and android tips apk. Afterwards the reboot i got constantly FC's and had to restore a backup of my ealier ROM... As i recall it, it was phone apk fc's....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nitroz:
Just been testing the battery over 2 days, seems pretty solid. I've been using the phone constantly all day without fail & my battery is at 40% after using it for roughyl 6 hours constant (Playing Angry Bird mostly) best battery life evar.

everything worked fine for me with no errors for 24 hours, however since i rebooted my phone i get force close on com.android every 5 seconds.

reflashed the rom and get the same issue after the reboot, this time with no mobile network signal :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vegetaleb:
I have similar results using any stock rom (cognition,Infusion...) and Nexus Torch app which is pretty much the same as CM7, the solution is to use the ''Zaphrox'' flashlight app instead.

Anyway if I want to build a theme with UOT kitchen should I use CM7 framework option?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jankhner:
people losing their pictures because of this rom is something that developers of rom should not make joke about, imho. (even though you adviced to make backups etc)

otherwise, very nice rom, thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] brodos123:
Hi

I followed the instructions and installed the new CWM 4.0.10 before I flashed the rom. Everything went well, but when I rebbot into recovery from rom manager I come to CWM 4.0.0.2 and when I boot to recovery from vol up -home-power button I come to CWM 4.0.10.

Strange! It seems like I have to versins of CWM.

But a great rom:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] holyguyz:
Wow, sounds amazing rom, but looks like not stable yet. Hope to see the stable version soon.

Well done guyz! Thanks for your all efforts & hard work.

Double thumbs up from me! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fihlvein:
True, but people should use some common sense. I took backup from my internal SD card just in case, and would have done for external as well. I mean, we are the first guinea pigs who use this ROM "normally". Developers just do matrix :p

Just pull the framework and system UI from the phone with adb. It's what I did. Don't risk it by thinking it might work.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dh2311:
I would pull one of the CM themes from the /system/app directory aswell... most stuff you edit is set in them themes. And I would presume (this is a guess btw) that they override the framework-res.apk? But use a combo of both for the best effects
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] djsimonr:
Just thought id post again, left my phone to charge over night and not had any prob, phone was 100% this morning.

Again apart from the known issues its running fine for me.

Bit annoying that you cant turn the phone off (unless you pull the battery) but hay i dont anyways lol.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vegetaleb:
About BT it's working for files transfers but not for earpiece pairing?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] prophet42:
I had the same.

After flashing the rom last night, I was installing apps etc. on wireless the whole time, and on full brightness, with the screen on constantly the battery only drained by 20%. Awesome!!! Very impressive to be sure, and by far the best rom I've used.

I was installing at least 30 apps, browsing the web, file transfers, using xmbc remote control, Facebook, sending messages. Truly shocking battery use. NO problem.

Left it on charge all night so it was 100% this morning. As a test, figured i would see how it would run just on idle with wireless, and normal apps syncing in the background. After 2 hours, it was still on 100%. Not bad at all.

So switched from wireless back to normal 3G, went to the gym.

After 45 minutes, down by 3% on idle. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but that's a hell of a change. Baring in mind the phone was stationary, and I get excellent 3G coverage in that area, and had full signal so we're not talking lots of work to acquire a new signal or anything.

Checked again after an hour and a half, the phone had dropped to 75% after an hour and 15 minutes!

So I plugged it in to charge, but it didn't charge, and drained down even further to 70% after 15 minutes and was (as others have said) so hot I'm surprised the battery didn't melt.

Found in particular "mobile standby" had eaten %40 of the battery, along with "android system" which was at 25% and brightness for the majority of the remainder.

Checked here, and then did a reboot. All working fine since and charging again in massively quick fashion.

Unfortunately I didn't read about having OS Monitor installed at that point, so I can't provide any further (useful) information at the moment as the phone is behaving normally, and I'm a novice at the best of times compared with the majority of users about. If I find anything more concrete/technical and less anecdotal I'll post it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Try4Ce:
Now that is a good report there.

Mobile Standby issues anybody? I dont have CM7 on my device right now but how about some ppl test this? Disable WiFi, go to 3G Mode and let it charge for some minutes to just watch the temperature. Maybe the ones who didnt have heat issues (like me) were on WiFi while charging (like me), and not 3G ... ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] infinityz:

Please post such questions in the Q&A thread. Secondly, search this thread, it has been asked. Anyway, you'll need to install the Nexus S SDK if i remember correctly.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] prophet42:
Since the reboot, mine has been on 3G and charging since my last post, and so far it's running as cool as anything with no further problems.

What was happening before the reboot to cause it I have no clue, but it's working now. Guess it's a wait until it starts happening again.

If anyone comes up with a checklist of things to check, I can run through it when (presuming it does) happen again. Apart from running OS Check that is.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] djsimonr:
Been charging now for just over half an hour, with wifi turned off, no heat problem for me,

the people that are having heat problem haven't flashed the overclock kernel have they?

This is the only time i have ever had heat problems with my SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Beefheart:
This might not be a popular opinion but I'd say making a backup of your memory card before using a new rom isn't common sense, more being over-cautious. It's not unreasonable to expect a new rom to not delete files on a memory card, or certainly not a rom that has been released to the public, buggy or not.

But saying that, I ran CM7 for about an hour the other night and it didn't do any harm to anything on my card.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] prophet42:
Not in my case no. I've never overclocked my galaxy S 2, purely because I personally feel battery life is more important as 1.2ghz is plenty fast for what I use.
