[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Hepatitis C acquired from a blood transfusion as a child before there were tests for Hepatitis C. The liver transplant was in December 2006, and I am doing well now.

I was very lucky to have two anonymous angels (I had two transplants, back-to-back because the first didn't work and if they hadn't found a match within the 72 hours of losing the first graft, teamhacksung would have one less member now) who had signed up as organ donors before they passed away. I would not be here if it hadn't been for them and their thoughtfulness.

This is why I only ask that people sign up as organ donors . . . it isn't for me, but to give the gift of life to many people, even in the midst of tragedy. And I hope everyone who signs up because of me gets to live a very long time so that their organs are too old to be of use to anyone once they are gone.
[Galaxy S II General] Nolzy:
That's deep. /respect

On my Drivers License I can proudly read: "DONOR".
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Even better since a few months there is now an effective cure for hepatitis c, I guess it was a couple of years too late for you though :(
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Yes, but too late for me, and these drugs don't work on transplant patients because the drugs interact every badly with our anti-rejection medications, so I am still on the bad medications to keep the hep C virus down. Transplant doesn't cure hepatitis C, and in fact, because now my immune system has to be suppressed so that it doesn't reject the liver, the HCV should be stronger in attacking the new liver. Except somehow this liver and the drugs that didn't work on my own liver have managed to beat the virus into submission so that I've been negative for a year and we are now trying to see if we stop the treatment whether it comes back. It came back before - but this time I'll find out in a week whether it is back yet after eight weeks. If I am free for 24 weeks, they'll consider me cured (this is another reason I shouldn't actually stress about XDA crap that happens on the threads . . . not worth risking my health for).
[Galaxy S II General] mca1490:
Completely understand you !! Your health is always first , so thank you for your time here in xda (specially in the i9100 forum :) )

Take your time working in this rom!

So as we say in our country : Pura Vida ( costa rica ) , that means enjoy your life every minute !!
[Galaxy S II General] brandenk0:
Just to let you guys know, they got HD video recording to work!

Support camcorder mode for galaxys2. (android_packages_apps_Camera)

Great work guys!
[Galaxy S II General] jartukovic:
Cant wait for the first stable version, before SGS2 i had nexus one (i still have it) and i was more then happy with CM on it, i will gladly donate few bucks beacuse these guys are doing great job.
[Galaxy S II General] carlos67:
Man.......You've made me think again! I'm 44 and until now wouldn't touch being a donor with a very long bargepole. However, your story has maybe changed things for me. I'm going to seriously think again about being a donor.

Respect 2u dude.
[Galaxy S II General] compuguy1088:
Great post. This should convince anyone who's not a organ donor to sign up (though I am a donor).
[Galaxy S II General] Jesmicael:
how exciting. :) can't wait to see it run on my gsii
[Galaxy S II General] dobber81:
Has anyone found a nice BLN/UV/OC kernel that works well with CM7-nightlys yet? Using CM-original kernel for now, which supports UV/OC, but I miss my BLN :)
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
there are no custom kernels. bln is buggy, so we'll not include. and no one wants to fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] dobber81:
I will keep updating with nightlys and hope to see BLN at some point in the future then :)

Is there a reason why custom kernels are not being worked on for the SGSII w. Cyanogenmod, while there are custom kernels all over the place for my old nexus s and nexus one?
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
because its not stable yet (bt), and theres no need for custom kernels. stock kernel already supports whats really needed.
[Galaxy S II General] aythsu:
I'm definitely going to give this ROM a try when I get the SGSII from the mail next week!
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Sure, he's working with us.

There are exactly 5 people who are running CM7 on SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] cTrox:
When are you planning on pushing the current sources to github? :)
[Galaxy S II General] lynx2k50:
Nice. Sounds toooooo intersting :)

Btw: Great job guys.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
Wouldn't CM7 running on SGSII be identical to every other device running CM7?
[Galaxy S II General] Greenie-UK:
Cant wait for some hot spicy CM7 action !
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
May i ask you a question?

How could you make a daily usable build in this short time? Where's the difference between this version and the SGS one? I mean, on the SGS you started from scretch and it taked some time, didn't you on SGSII?
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Sources are already on github. but private and hidden. ;-)

We'll release sources if the first nightly goes out.

Yes, CM7 on SGS2 is identical to CM7 on any other device. So it's nothing new or special.

We've used the samsung kernel sources for sgs2.

On sgs1 we've used Nexus S Sources and had to rewrite and merge a lot of stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] lynx2k50:
Maybe this could be intersting for the CM kernel.

I'm no dev so please be nice :D
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Can't wait!
[Galaxy S II General] Sturmfest:
cm7

@TeamHacksung you are really amazing, porting cm7 to sgs2 in such a short time
[Galaxy S II General] dave_uk:
Wow. I posted that in a different thread 12 days ago. Persecution complex much?

Anyway, I thought it was pretty much right on the money.

Back on Planet Earth, glad to see CM7's coming along nicely. Sounds like we're not far away :D
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
I remember seeing a screenie a while back of CM running on android v2.3.4, is that what this version is running on? or still 2.3.3? :)

really great work you lot.
[Galaxy S II General] DvTonder:
The current version of CM7 is at 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
yeah, since the devs have created 2.3.4 CM7 for SGS, i am sure they are using latest source code to bring up CM7 with android 2.3.4 on SGS2 also...

devs, pls correct me if i am wrong...
[Galaxy S II General] naddie:
Ah, so it'll be out before Duke Nukem Forever 2.

Sorry I had to. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Codeworkx, how valid is this comment? Where do you think the GS2 will stand regarding graphics benchmarks in comparison to current builds? Is that what is causing choppy video playback perhaps?

Great news that its all coming along so fast.
[Galaxy S II General] lynx2k50:
On the stocks ROM for SGS 2 we are getting a destructed CRT animation after some timne of use.

Is it the same with CM7 or will the CRT animation stays functional?
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
What do you mean with graphics benchmarks?

Gaming performance is same as on stock firmwares.

But the codes for encoding/decoding videos are a problem at the moment.

But we'll figure it out.
[Galaxy S II General] Artius89:
I'm extremely curious about the banding on gradient issue, if i've understood right (and i could be totally wrong), you're using different drivers for the graphic, so it should go away, or semi-fixed, right?
[Galaxy S II General] cyberwarfare:
oh im sure u guys will more than figure it out

if u guys have it ur way we shall be seeing 4k resolutions if it were supported by the software or even hardware for that matter ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
Check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124669

It's not related to driver, but having gamma control for each color channel could help (and it has to be done in the driver if I'm not mistaken)
[Galaxy S II General] Westi01:
I would love to help you guys :)
[Galaxy S II General] hisuperman:
i am waiting that coming
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
What do you think guys? Would it be possible to get a hardware accelerated CM7?
[Galaxy S II General] vikas776:
u r talking about just one app like browser or whole UI :D
[Galaxy S II General] Sturmfest:
Does anybody know if the SGS2 with CM7 will play the same codecs like with Stock-ROM? If not, is there a way to implement the abilities?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
That's what we're trying to figure out.
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Both of them
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Then you have to wait for the next Android version. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
No problem then, CM7 was fast as hell on SGS, it will be faster on SGSII
[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
@codeworkx: is CM7 running on SGS2 built from 2.3.4 sources ? i saw it some dev from teamhacksung tweeting about that... willing to know about that info.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
No, from 4.0.2.
[Galaxy S II General] schrickm5:
I remember the excitement of loading the first CM7 nightly for the LG Optimus 2x, they are probably on nightly 60 by now, but it felt like although they came out quite quickly with the first nightly its taking a while to get to the stable builds, and ironing out the niggling little issues, I think its probably more difficult as they have the US model to work on also, the G2X.

My experience was that it was slot smoother than the LG software when navigating around, and it looked fantastic, they really did a great job, I think out was Paul O'Brian and fellows, by the way have those guys also ben involved in any of the SGS2 CM7 development?

Great news though to hear of the current progress, really nice job, wish you guys all the best in going forward! Bon chance.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
LG O2X was mostly done by Arcee, not by Paul.

And no, only teamhacksung is working on porting cm7 to sgs2.
[Galaxy S II General] schrickm5:
My sincerest apologies, to Arcee, did/doing a great job on the Optimus 2X.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
I was referring to GPU/CPU intensive benchmark apps like NenaMark2 and how they would compare on your build.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Lol. Nice one man. Best of luck with the development.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
50 fps on nenamark2 without oc.

probably same as stock because of gpu drivers.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
There are 2 things I expect CM7 will bring me on my SGS2:

* Get rid of Samsung crap that makes the 1650 mah battery last like a 200 mah one.

* Bring me long press volume buttons to skip songs functionality.

I hope we'll see the nightlies soon. The stuff that's been said to not work with the current build, I don't care about. If everything else works, it's OK for me.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
That's a few frame ahead of stock sgs ii nicely done
[Galaxy S II General] omrij:
Stock SGS2 get less than 40 FPS...
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Superb, that is actually more than I get now.
[Galaxy S II General] Fihlvein:
There are so many things in CM that it is impossible to live without them if you get use to them. And the excitement to see what new merged commits there are when you wake up...

You know, I have my Desire HD still with me because I was seriously going to sell my SGS2 even though it has superior hardware to DHD. But when codeworkx informed us that the sound issue was solved, I got all hopes back.

Last few weeks has been utmost pain having to do things without CM. It would shatter me to pieces if I now knew it would take more than a month to have our nightly builds going on. Really. :p

I'm sure it's not feasible, but I was hoping if sources could be available before official nightlies starts, so really impatient people like me could just build their own extremely unofficial package knowing all the risks.

Anyway, thank you Team Hacksung for all your wonderful efforts towards Galaxy S phones!
[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
What ? is it based on ICS ( Ice Cream Sandwich ) ???? :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] sinjiyo:
And what about the browser? Same like stock sgs2 or gingerbread?
[Galaxy S II General] lynx2k50:
CM is build on the AOSP so i think we will get the stock GB brwoser.
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Guess he was talking about CWM
[Galaxy S II General] hisuperman:
good job ，expecting that coming out
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
No i wasn't.

Dumb question, dumb answer. xD

Everyone knows that CM is based on official AOSP sourcecode.

Takes a few seconds to figure out that the actual version is 2.3.4.

I can smell lazyness.
[Galaxy S II General] naddie:
With the unique button configuration, Samsung did some equally unique mappings to the buttons. Would the behavior be the same on CM7?

I am talking about things like double-tapping Home for voice commands, holding menu foe search, etc.

It'd be nice to make it user configurable. I'd like to keep the menu hold to bring up keyboard (since we are used to this behavior on other Android phones) and move the search to holding the back button. I'd also like the voice commands to be activated by holding the Home button (just like the iPhone). This should eliminate the need for the lag/delay to return home.

I find the missing mapping to bring up the keyboard annoying when some buggy software doesn't bring it up automatically on text fields.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
I was gettin 43 - 46fps on my stock
[Galaxy S II General] omrij:
you're right

my last firmware couldn't go pass 40

now I get ~47 (KF4)
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
What the benefit of CM7 over the official sammy firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] :
You don't have all the sammy bloatware ;) , besides that it is just has tons of extra features and it runs very slik.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
@codeworkx: Could you please tell us if the home button delay problem and Android OS battery drain problem on stock rom are solved with the CM7 build you're testing right now?
[Galaxy S II General] Vaxbox:
@codeworx: can you reproduce the high battery drain "AndroidOS/suspend/events0" bug on your build?
[Galaxy S II General] alcurtis93:
Tarring the whole uk population. Thanks very much. Your impatient.mate. face it.
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
+1, on every thread it seems. Everywhere I go I see him " please release test version " and when they do " omg lots of bugs please update this now "
[Galaxy S II General] mihapodb:
Yeah that is true :)
[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
:rolleyes: never mind whatever u post... now i know why i am being targetted... carry on people... i left the habit of caring for you those who try to post something which doesnt bring any interest in me...
[Galaxy S II General] thull:
can't wait for this :)
[Galaxy S II General] DvTonder:
Looks like the CM7 build for the SGS2 is imminent according to some of the changes submitted today for gerrit review here

EDIT: Uh-oh, seems Atinm put a hold on it with a "Not yet" comment - all in good time I am sure, all in good time :-)
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
I have no idea what you said but it does sound great!
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
Wow, you wrongfully accuse people of many things, call them muppets, insult entire nations, but yet you take no responsibilty? oh and still have the audacity to feign innocence? About time you learnt some manners.

and

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about
[Galaxy S II General] Fihlvein:
Aww. Looks like codeworkx feels CM7 is in a state ready to be opened to us, but atinm disagrees.

Oh well, I'm just happy that I now know that it is really close! Keep up the good work and don't shy too much showing your wonderful work to us! :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] rj3005:
And getting random reboots several times a day or 'the wonk' like i had with CM7 on my nexus one ? No thanks

CM6 was great, CM7 not near stock gingerbread quality.
[Galaxy S II General] Fihlvein:
That's unfortunate. My only experience was with Desire HD, and CM7 worked completely flawless on it. Nexus One is known to have the call wonk on some units, but as far as I know it doesn't concern other phone models.
[Galaxy S II General] vegetaleb:
Yeah I had call wonks on N1 but when using dewonkificator it stopped totally!

As for SGS2 I don't think it will have the same bug, it's more a N1 hardware conflict with CM7
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
We're not ready.

But every commit which is done, is simply done. ;-)

Still no video codecs for playback and recording, little lightsensor problem, 2G/3G toggle, little usb problem, fmradio, tvout...

think we'll first release if we're fully done with it.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
When you're ready mate. Great to know it's coming along so well.

What is the battery life like and how does it compare to stock?
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
would say same battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] walda:
thanks for giving this great news to us. :)

sent from my SGSII via T*patalk
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
Here's hoping that the USB OTG and MHL interfaces aren't too proprietary and can be merged in.

The stock fw has all the functionality I like, but the speedtweaks and little things like a decent lockscreen that CM7 offers would be nice. (Although I do like the notification sliders on the TW lockscreen).

Does CM7 offer any improvements over the AOSP bluetooth stack? By default it's a bit temperamental, so any stability improvements, particularly in the A2DP/AVRCP departments would be wonderful.

Newer kernel(s) than 2.6.35 would be good, there were some useful speed improvements in some of the later versions. How much would this rely on Samsung source though?

Thanks for the updates codeworkx. I can live without Codecs for now, that's what Moboplayer is for ;)
[Galaxy S II General] OccasionalDroid:
Your a star, thanks for the update... I think the codecs and stuff are gonna be difficult to port, so maybe you should consider a release once you get the recording and light sensor problems fixed. I think many of us can live without video codecs, we have to accept its ASOP and that it isn't native.

Sent from my Sammy Galactic S2 Beastly Device
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
codecs and recording seems to be related.
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
If it was to be released there would be countless posts spamming about the codecs, I think they want to avoid that kind of stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] y0.o!:
Very looking forward to this, I loved it on my SGSI.

Do you guys know if you have been able to get wifi working well? I and some others have a problem with it, if i'm not in the same room as the dam router lol. It's not a very strong signal when a wall is between us :/.

Will donate as soon as I have it on my phone lol :D
[Galaxy S II General] vegetaleb:
I hope it will correct the SGS2 color banding (which is more a grainy problem for me) and cut out the waking lag :rolleyes:

Looks like MIUI didn't correct them for the time being
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Too bad, i was hoping for a release even with some bugs
[Galaxy S II General] Fihlvein:
You know, when SGS2 CM7 nightlies topic is launched, it will explode. So fun it's going to be. :)

ps. It's getting frustrating to check several times a day this topic, bounty topic, CM Gerrit.... but I'm not complaining. When it's finally ready for public, all of this waiting will be rewarded. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
It's gonna be more trouble than it's worth. People will be asking about why "xxx" isn't working and things like that.

BTW, if video recording is a problem there's an ARM version of x264 that you guys can try :)
[Galaxy S II General] -Zork-:
good job ，expecting that coming out soon to try it
[Galaxy S II General] ZVictor:
Hehe, be careful what you wish for :)
[Galaxy S II General] robstunner:
YEP!

People will cry about getting it and how bad the want it. *nightly Drops* Then they repost 6 hours later *****ing about their facebook not working. These Dev's got nerves of steel!
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
Agreed. Reminds me early CM nightlies of FroYo, litteraly nothing worked and people posted at least 25 times the same thing. Having to go through a topic of 300 pages is a pain though.
[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
i feel if the devs of teamhacksung post about daily updates on the development of porting CM7 onto SGS2 in the evening, it would drastically reduce the number of useless posts including mine...

its just a thought of mine. what do u say guys ? mods may have a different answer for this.... any comment is welcomed by me...

just i am trying to help keep this thread as tidy as possible...
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
what's wrong with useless posts? this a forum here we all come because we feel chatty, if I couldn't post whatever was on my mind I would just move on to a different forum.. there's plenty of good news sites, not so many good forums however
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
I have this really bad feeling that once CM7 comes to the SGS2 im going to get flashing fever again, cant wait ;)

Its like WM6.1/6.5 again but without the suck of WM :D
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
- little bug on usb disconnect

- still no media codecs (choppy playback, no recording)

- boot into recovery from rommanager doesn't work

- haptic feedback is very low, needs to be improved

- 2G/3G toggle bug

- no sound from fmradio

- no tvout

- usb otg untested

- open source sensor drivers done :-)

everything else should be fine

[Galaxy S II General] isotoper:
Is this rom going to handle or fix the home button delay?
[Galaxy S II General] alcurtis93:
I have no delay whatsoever. I don't know why other people do. I'm running villain 1.4 with xxkf2 modem and deleted loads of system apps although tbh I don't remember having delay on stock orange uk fw
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Having just flashed my Kernel to Tegrak, I can say with some confidence that delay is because of stock Firmware. Whereas it would take about 1 second for the screen to power on after pressing the home button on stock, it now powers on instantly on Tegrak.
[Galaxy S II General] isotoper:
Strange, I'm using Cognition 1.0.7 and as I know it has a custom kernel.

Still has the home button lag :

2 seconds when waking the phone .

1 second when pressing the home button when using other app.
[Galaxy S II General] L00n3y2k8:
CM7 should be AWESOME on my SGS2 :D
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
wtf is 1 second? nothing.

what are you expecting?

if your phone is in deep sleep, i'm sure that it can take a little bit to wake up.

double click the ms word icon on your pc. after that flame microsoft because it doesn't start without delay. ;-)
