I can't install any of cyanogen mods. I don't know what is the problem, but i did every step as it's written in FAQ. After every installing it goes to circle reboot with Samsung beginning logo. I tried another custom roms and those are installed succesfully like Turkbey Rom. But those of custom roms has nearly 250-300 Mb. But these mods has only 95-100 Mb. I was thinking that these are updates only, but for which rom?

My phone parameters: Stock Firmware XXKP8 & Siyah Kernel

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blancer:
bro, you have to flash CM7 twice in recovery before booting up. and no, these are not updates. they're full ROM installer. that's why it's faster because it's pure AOSP hence the small file size.

Has anyone noticed that the volume is VERY loud for headphones on a cleanly flashed ROM?

I run 1/15 on my Triple.Fi 10 Pros and it's already on the loud side. I experimented with my car too. 1/15 or 2/15 is more than enough for my speakers. Similarly I need to crank to halfway or so or a bit more on my iPod Touch and Nexus S to achieve the same volume.

Incoming call volume problem

Does anyone have the same problem as me?

After i get an incoming call the volume suddenly increases i should adjust the volume with volume buttons to return to normal volume.

The volume does not show that it was increased it show 2 , but i have to decrease to 1 and the to increase to 2 to get the default behavior.

I have tried to reset profiles(settings->profile-> Reset all) as i have read that it has solved the problem to some users but without result.

Is there a fix?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

I've just installed the latest nightly on my phone, tried both the kernel that came with the rom aswell as Siyahkernel 2.6.12 and 2.6.11 but it seems like i'm having incredibly BAD wifi and 3G data coverage.

With MIUI and Siyah i had way better coverage and speeds.

Is there anything i can do about this?

Also having the 10-20 second black screen on launcherpro bootup but i guess i can live with that (did a search and this seems to be a known issue?)

I live in Belgium and running XXKI4 modem software.

Should i try out some other modems?

thanks

Linus
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadonlyone:
@Linus/

try LPB modem (seems the best for me... eastern europe) or LPH. also, stay on stock kernel if you accept mounting card issues. on the other hand Siyah kernel has 2.6.9 version most reliable so far (though, all versions got a lot of battery drain for me).

personally, I'm using LPB modem and stock kernel on the cm7 latest nightly build and I'm really satisfied from the point of view of battery drain, speed and stability.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arif-ali:
I thought the buildbot was up again doing CM7, apparently not. It;s only doing CM9

I may restart the nightlies on my server; as I'd like it for my own use as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivangs1:
I can only welcome this :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadonlyone:
I totally agree.

There are too many working tweaks in cm7 that I cannot live without it; not just tweaks it's rom itself. And God is my witness: theme settings (everything on my phone is cyan; even notification bar is cyan); most battery friendly rom and kernel using always data and wifi on; backlights tweaks and dim levels; callrecorder (skvalex) work wonderful with default kernel (never had to use pencil when I receive phone numbers or addresses); gesture to unlock screen or to send a sms template; speed; stability and I could go on like this all day long.

I replaced default launcher with Go launcher (I'm using gestures a lot) and everything is almost perfect.

Of course there are a few minor things that bothering me sometimes, but I don't care so much: bubble-style unlock doesn't not respond sometimes after reboot and un/mounting cards using usb cable (but I guess is something about kernel drivers not included - I still never search).

So, still remains one thing to say: if is good, why change it ?

I was waiting for arif-ali to start building them again, I have one I built on 3/8 that I could post, the Cyanogen team frowns upon KANGs being posted in their threads however so I'm unsure where I'd put it.

Is there a way to return the stock Samsung camera, it was rly good and the one used in cm7 sucks **** (
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangiers:
I have this too with a Cognition ROM.

I think the problem is that ROM Manager has a problem with internal SD cards where there is also an external micro SD card.

Xoom owners had the same problem and we ended up using a custom Cwm and not the one that comes with ROM Manager.

You will notice that when ROM Manager asks you to flash CWM, it claims to have done so but all it has done is place an update.zip file on your internal SD which should then write a new recovery when you reboot but doesn't. In my case, I got the green triangle and had to pull the battery.

When you reboot., rom manager tells you have 4.0.1.0 or some other version but you don't, which you can verify by rebooting into recovery, preferably not through rom manager because that doesn't always work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slick_42:
Two questions.

1. Does CM support cifs? If yes how can i mount a share?

2. What is the best modem to use with CM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tontje:
Yeah, i already figured that rebooting into recovery from RomManager does not work, but doing it manually does work... Thanks for the clarification tho!

And now for the thrilling conclusion to my GT-I9100T woes :) My previous posts are here and here.

Error message was:

script aborted: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "galaxys2" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100"

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100"

So I did this:

Get CM7

Extract Zip

Naviagate to META-INF\com\google\android\

Edit updater-script replacing all instances of GT-I9100 with GT-I9100T (should be three)

Rezip folder

Install with CWM as per instructions. I had to flash twice, first time it did it way too quick, second time it actually did it.

Done! :)

Bearing in mind I have only had it going now for 10 minutes now but looks awesome ATM :)

Same here...

I can actually boot into CWM from Rom Manager and I get an orange/amber CWM 4.0.0.2. When I manually boot into CWM using home+vol_up+power, I get into the cyan 4.0.1.0.

I thought this was a mistake by me because I installed CWM using Rom Manger on Cognition Rom. I hoped that the entire CWM would be replaced by the CM version, which is 4.0.1.0. But there is still the 4.0.0.2 "left"

So are there really two versions of CWM on my phone? Could those two versions conflict? Where is either installed physically? I think I read something about CWM being closely hooked to the kernel on Samsung phones

For me it was all stuff taken by camera.. the images were .jpg i think, and also 1080p movies and some lower res movie files aswell taken with camera..

However, i have loads of pictures/videos that i've been sending/getting through whatsapp, they were left alone and thats pretty intresting, they were stored in "/sdcard/WhatsApp/Media" .. The images/movies that was deleted was in "/sdcard/external_sd/DCIM/Camera"

One thought i had was maybe media scanner is going ape**** over the existance of the DCIM folder on both internal and external sd?

EDIT: Btw, for me the pictures were not deleted first install of CM, i think it came at a later point around nightly 2-3, and i think it was when i opened the gallery, it was taking forever and ever for the gallery to open, and when it finally did, the images were gone, so im guessing the massive delay there was it clearing up all the stuff.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddie:
All of my MP3s and M4As are recognized as "Unknown artist". However, every other tag is recognized (Albums, track names, track #, etc).

Seems like it's the Media Scanner database, since it affects the stock Music app, Google Music beta, and PowerAMP.

Not sure if this was reported. MediaFix (in Market) was able to fix the MPA files (much like the issue the stock Samsung ROM is having - cannot parse Artists), but nothing else.

I'm on Nightly #7.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
Atin,

Just a thought ...

From reading the posts, this seems to only happen to files on the external sdcard. For the SGS2, the reference/path to the external sdcard is not the standard CM7 format (emmc) but the samsung 'external_sd' format.

I remember noticing the commit that made the change a while back and wondered why it was different for the SGS2. I thought it was because you got tired of explaining why it was the way it was in the SGS forums.

Could this change be the cause?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chard101:
No it is not just png. On closer inspection I realised I lost everything in my camera folder too (jpg). On previous occasions I've lost a few jpgs here and there but I didn’t notice till much later so I could not say when. This is the worst case by far I've had. Other media files might be effected, text files, certificates and other non media files seem unaffected so far.

I just rebooted into recovery and selected the install zip file, did not wipe cache etc, just rebooted and on first boot they got wiped. Internal flash unaffected.

Hi, thanks team Hacksung for all your work. I am a new Android user and really like what you are doing.

I realize bluetooth is broken right now, but I guess my question is about what you will do with it, or what is available on other CM supported devices.

I would like to connect all audio to my Cars bluetooth stereo (non a2dp) I know there are aftermarket apps that work with some phones for this purpose, but before I installed CM7 none of them work for me. Does CM usually support this type of options in its settings or will I have to try and get one of the aftermarket apps to work?
