yes. really. wait. no. really.

Though I thought I'd be honest - the change from stock TW w/ a different launcher and CM7 with the same launcher will be minimal. This time stock TW on SGS2 doesn't have quite the same performance issues as Eclair and Froyo for SGS did so the speed difference is minimal if any. The only thing that CM7 will really give you is the ability to be running the latest version of the code that Google puts out (think Ice Cream Sandwich), when Samsung has moved on to newer models. Just like CM7 on SGS phones is running 2.3.4 when official builds are still at Froyo for many of the SGS phones. And of course, any bug fixes we do to the stock builds.

Don't know why you have to be so sarcastic? I only asked if there was any update as to what's going on, sorry if I don't follow your team's twitter's or what ever it is you guys post on.

I don't see me asking for an ETA? Geeez.

[Galaxy S II General] jingleracing:
Great
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Read my full post. I needed a lighthearted intro (and I was teasing) to what I wrote in the paragraph below because I was going to rain on the CM parade.

Much as I love working on CM, I wanted to say that you will not see the huge performance bump this time like you did with SGS phones. That is one reason why we're not in a hurry - this time putting out less functionality than stock would just mean that there is no reason to want to run CM unlike SGS, where even if hardware codecs were not working, the rest of the phone made it worth running CM7 just to get around the stupid performance issues.
[Galaxy S II General] Teio:
This might be off topic but, may I ask you what is the criteria you guys use to choose a phone to start porting CM7 to?
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
Interest from a developer motivated enough to do it. Each phone that CM runs on also has one or many developers who were interested enough to spend the time and energy on making it work for that phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Artius89:
I guess that the most impelling change that the S2 deserve is the removal of bandings on gradients, but i don't really know if it's a change possible modifing gpu drivers or it's an hardware fault.

It's the thing that annoy me the most. We have such a beautiful amoled screen totally ruined by banding on almost every applications :/
[Galaxy S II General] Piccles:
been reading a lot about CM7...can't wait!! :)
[Galaxy S II General] ragiut1:
The phone is much snappier on MIUI (CM framework) than TW, the difference is significant as far as i can tell.

is Bluetooth still broken? if not then pls release a nighlty and fix codecs later, i cant stand TW.

thnx for ur efforts. without CM on the horizon, i would've sold my SGSII
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
No, bluetooth sound is not fixed. No one is working on it right now - I'm concentrating on HW codecs because it is more fun than bluetooth that has closed stuff and is therefore a pain.
[Galaxy S II General] bboran:
I have not got a s2 yet. I am waiting this phone about 5 months and yes it came to my country 1.30 month late. I can buy it right now but i am waiting for the cm7 to come first. Then i'll buy it. Btw i am a new android user. My girlfriend has a tmobile g2 and i first meet android with that phone. I learnt alot while using her phone. I tried lots of roms for it. And everytime i put a new rom to her phone , after 1 day usage she said me "you messed up my phone!" and she realy get mad. she also said to me go buy your self a s2 , why are you still waiting and messing up my phone :D Then one day i met with cyanogenmod. I installed cm7.1 rc1 to her phone and she loved it. she is still running cm7 and has no problems, thanked me alot =) and yes when i use her phone i am getting very excited too. cyanogen rocks. so this my story with cyanogenmod =) keep up the good work guys.I hope this wil be out soon. i know you are working realy hard on it. take your time and best wishes.
[Galaxy S II General] raxwow:
CM7 for SGSII is out already?
[Galaxy S II General] kroat999:
No !!
[Galaxy S II General] unrealtb:
When you say not much of a performance bump... If you ran benchmarks there would be a significant performance increase right? Just not noticable in everyday use?
[Galaxy S II General] huzz:
I don't know why people are so hell bent on "improving" the phone.

Yes if you are referring to the ability to be on the bleeding edge - I am with you.

Yes if you are referring to have an AOSP experience - I am with you.

Apart from that seriously its a dual core beast if you are still waiting for a ROM to speed that up good luck 'coz nothing is going to satisfy you.

I am on stock 2.3.4 (rooted albeit) and I am happy. Phones snappy everything works the way its supposed to. Decent battery life.

I am looking forward to CM7 for only the above mentioned points. Don't need or desire anymore performance boosts.

Thank you for your efforts teamhacksung.
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
Plus by claiming that underclocking the CPU won't improve battery life, he "loses". How can reduced power drain NOT mean increased battery life!? It won't be significantly better, but it will be a little bit.

If I put my phone in airplane mode, then I get around 1%/hour drain, as soon as I turn any radio on, I can forget about anything better than 3%/hour, but that's what I expect, so no big deal.

I'm currently on 16 hours usage and I've still got 43% battery left, and that's with me having sat there for about an hour and a half playing Fluffy birds (hence why the Display has used 31% of the battery). I've got a Tasker script that puts it into flight mode from midnight until 6.30am though.
[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
What's the ETA for CM7 then, tee hee....

Antim,

When the nightlys was released for CM6 on the N1 NOTHING worked, lollol but we still flashed it because we love stock android and love CM7. It must be getting close to nightly time?

Can't wait to try out what you guys have cooked up;)

[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
the best part about cm7 and running cm7 on your phone is that each night you can see the repository, you can see what changed, all the source code, and even make changes and commits if you want something fixed or changed. and of course being in line with official google AOSP as well.

nothing better than checking daily commits.
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
Dude,go buy you SII right away,you've got absolutely no idea what you're missing. ;)

As for CyanogenMod,yes,it's pretty good,but as was said many times in this thread,don't expect too much just yet.Apart from some futures(which can become less taking into consideration that there are apps that do the same things-ie Night Mode is also possible with CF3D),you won't get much more at the moment.We will start to benefit for real when Android gets updated to ICS and Samsung will either not give it to us or will just make us wait a loooong time.Then,when you're able to have the latest and greatest,will you really benefit.

As for other's expectations on performance boosts,don't expect much.I too had asked out of curiosity,but today I was closely watching my GSII operate and hell,everything is instant.It just cannot get faster.You click it,it opens.On my-albeit fast-Desire HD,even with CM7 and a 1.5GHz overclock,there is a delay between when you click the app and when it actually opens.With GSII I'm starting to forget what that was. :D
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
But if they do that then they'll be beseiged by lazy, impatient noobs saying "Mi fone 1z brikd!!!11!1!" and "Mi videoz r LAAAAAGGGED". In the days of CM6 alpha, XDA was a lot less of a noobfest than it is now.
[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
That my friend is sadly true;)

Yeah we had some real good guys in them days, but i must admit i was a bit n00bish in them days too;) I suppose we all have to start somewhere:D
[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
Dont tempt me back into that world.... lol
[Galaxy S II General] blickmanic:
*sigh* those were the days :D
[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
Oh the nostalgia, staying up until 3am to knock out nightly themes tailored to the new rom, happy days;))) I must have completely had no life in them days, or maybe I love the android community too much. When you think about it, there is no other community like ours in the world, we are so special;)

[Galaxy S II General] huzz:
So no nightlies then? straight up stable release?
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
XDA was a noobfest when i joined back in 2007, so it's not a new thing, people not rtfp(reading the f'in post) asking questions answered in the faq's, posting offtopic stuff, wait ;)

Nothing ever changes, people still want a quick fix without having todo the research!
[Galaxy S II General] kramerty88:
They'll probably release nightlies first, cause you can never know

for sure if it's stable the first time... It needs to be tested rigorously before a stable comes out. But atinm means that there won't be an alpha, just nightlies with everything working...
[Galaxy S II General] unrealtb:
Huzzz...you dont get it. What ppl are asking about performance for is. In time there will be games that need better performing devices... I think the android system will get to a stage where it does not get any faster like with the sgs2 right now, what i am interested in is say the performance of high performance appz... Cm7 will most likely be better for these... Any comments?

I don't argue about releasing or not an early version (that's up to them) but if they release it, like it's already happened to others devices, it doesn't mean you have to flash it, you can use a default rom until you feel confortable with the developing!
[Galaxy S II General] Pume:

[Galaxy S II General] Master05:
What exactly can we expect from CM7 on our phone? Same improvements as for other phones? If yes, what were these?

Or let me put it another way:

What exactly is there that can be improved significantly by them? Or is this "just" a port to SGS2 and there's nothing more to add?

Sorry for asking but the SGS2 is my first android phone and I don't know CM7
[Galaxy S II General] JonnyBrad81:
The stock GS2 rom is pretty good. So performance wise you may not see too much. The important thing with CM7 is its AOSP. So it gets rid of all samsungs unhelpful inclusions and also means you'll get android os updates a lot quicker than samsung release them.
[Galaxy S II General] Raudi1:
You get also other small improvements that add to a much greater Android experience. There are things like the extended power widget, improved lockscreen, Automatic backlight adjustments (That alone is reason enough for me to use Cyanogenmod, at least on my HD2) Flac support, Render effects(night mode etc. to save battery and your eyes in the dark ;) ) App rights management (That way you can stop the new facebook app from reading and sending sms and much more), skipping to next/previous song with long press on volume controls, control over animations and effects (CRT effect, overscroll etc.), and a ton of other tweaks that I have forgotten or don't even know about because there are so many. The features that are easy to find such as those, I haven't even mentioned. Basically, CyanogenMod gives you the latest version of Andoid bundled with a few features missing in stock and much more control over Android.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
It's a detail but the SGS2 supports FLAC by default.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Samsung roms supports it by default for the GS2, but CM7 has nearly nothing to do with that since it is complete other software that is running in the rom.
[Galaxy S II General] Raudi1:
I know. And many of the other things can be obtained by some other software. But Cyanogenmod eliminates the need to install all this software, that takes space and makes your device slower (aslo the case with TW and Sense). On the SGS2 it may not have such an impact, but on other devices with limited hardware, it really matters.

As it is with most other things, it depends on your taste, whether you prefer CM, Stock, MIUI or whatever.

Let's just wait some time until newer versions of Android come out and Samsung takes their time to get TW working with it. Then all those things wont matter to most people anymore and they will get CM. After that some will stay becasue they can't live without some features anymore (as it happened with me on my HD2) and other wont like it, but that is their choice.
[Galaxy S II General] unrealtb:
thanks but I meant a video on the SG2, already seen cm7 on my motorola backflip :)
[Galaxy S II General] AirfixPilot:
It's just going to be the same as on any other phone though...

I'm hoping whenever the SGS2 does come out on Sprint, it won't take too long for CM7 to be ported over to it as well. We will see what the differences are but if the specs are pretty much the same is it normally a large deal to port a ROM from a GSM phone to a CDMA phone?

Keep up the great work!
