Thanks for great Rom! CM7 is very smooth, fast and good battery life. Lagfree :x

Something others should be improve:

- Bluetooth sound volume and quality: both Nighty 80 and 81 very impress but nighty 85 and 87 lower volume and sound quality not good as ever.

- External sc card not work properly: gallery can see some movies but can see flv files. All file manager/explorer can read external sd card.

- Contact: when I save new contact, it save to a noname group

Others I forgot and will report back soon :D

Today I had an strange issue, my phone crashed, after that it went into a boot loop during the logo and serious overheating.

I could not get it back, not even after a cache wipe or a full wipe, used a restore to stock KH3 and reflashed nightly 84 to get CM back.

But now it just says error when trying to download the apps from the market, just angry birds gets downloaded :confused:, any suggestion, because I cant even get to download Titanium Backup to restore my saved data.

Just flashed a full wipe on #87, everything is running perfectly as always apart from that pesky bluetooth. While using bluetooth headphones poweramp still won't play while screen off...tbh at this point I'm just blaming poweramp. I'm going to have to use PlayerPro. I'm not entirely sure what PlayerPro/mixzing/stock music player/winamp/doubletwist are doing differently but they all seem to work with bluetooth and screen off just fine. All I have to say about this poweramp issue is 'meh' because I'm done with this damn music player. It alone is simply not worth going back to a stock rom just to use it. Excellent work on the rom team Hacksung! :D

I ehh- I didn't pay for the premium ROM manager. I don't have CC and paypal timed out last time I tried. I download the Nightlies via browser, use File Manager to move them to the external SD(someone told me that better somehow - IDC) and then I open the file by tapping on it, that loads to ROMManager and starts the process. I keep GApps between my updates.

Just reporting some minor issues...

1 - No camera shutter sound (neither with the option on/off in cyanogen settings)

2 - If you unplug the headphones when the lockscreen is on the playback controls still display (although the album art disappears). Only when the screen turns off and then on again or you reenter the lock..the back, pause, forward are replaced with the correct only play button

3 - In Phone settings the option to open the "last tab open" does not work...the defaut, phone, contacts, favorites, etc do work,

4 - The additional call settings (i.e. "Call waiting" check) partially fail for vodafone P (vodafone Portugal) I see a message in logcat saying "java.lang.RuntimeException: Unrecognized unsol response: 11001"

5 - Sometimes (only happened twice for 2 weeks now) when scrolling the library in the Music application the phone hangs completely and I have to pull off the battery.

Other than that keep up the good work guys...Your effort Is really priceless :)

I cannot install CM7 - phone gets bootloop

Hello,

I have my S2 with Litening Rom 6.1 XXKH3, and have it rooted with the same rom, whith installed Clockworkmod Recovery 4.0.0.2.

I have then installed Rom Manager Premium 4.7.0.5, installed Clockworkmod Recovery 4.0.1.5, choosing Samsung Galaxy S2 among devices available, obtained superuser privileges, and have obtained a "successful installation" result.

Then I chose the option menu to reboot in Clockworkmod recovery.

I have seen a yellow line progressing but it didn't got to final, and remained with the small android, triangle with exclamation mark ! in it.

Then I got this message: E:failed to verify whole-file signature.

E:signature verification failed.

Installation aborted.

So I went into /toggle signature verification and disabled signature check.

Then I rebooted to Android and repeated the installation of Clockworkmod Recovery from within Rom Manager, same steps as above, then chose the option "reboot to recovery".

Same problem as above, seems that I cannot go further this phase and my CMW recovery doesn't install.

Also tried to flash CF Kernel KH3 but when using CMW app in phone asking to reboot in CMW, phone reboots in CMW recovery 4.0.0.2 again.

Preventing me from installing CM7, as it doesn't work from CMW 4.0.0.2.

Any clue on how to solve this?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mredfern79:
You need to flash this manually through recovey as rom manager doesn't like cf root

Reboot in recovery and select install zip from sd card. Navigate to the cm7 download inside the clockworkmod folder of your sd card. Flash this twice.

Make sure you do a full wipe and wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

Bluetooth seems to work great now in Meridian for FLAC files. PowerAMP still will stop playback but it certainly works as it should with Meridian player now. Must be PowerAMP and CyanogenMod that don't get along in this case.

I'll shop around for any other music players. Meanwhile thanks alot to Atinm and others for the bluetooth functionality, works perfect for the limited testing I've done. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanith:
I installed CM7 and everything works almost fine. I came across a few problems, but those are fixed now.

One problem I'm having and which is a very annoying one... is that before doing anything to my S2, mVideoPlayer played ALL my 720p h264 mkv files perfectly, even loaded the subs.

Now, using CM7, I am having many difficulties playing video files with mVideoPlayer. I noticed sometimes the player starts playing the video and then says "Sorry, file cannot be played". Sometimes it says that error immediately.

I think something kicks in as soon as I start playing and it aborts... something like that? Does it maybe have something to do with permissions/cache? How can I fix it? Reinstalling didn't work.

Also, I noticed many of the apps I'm using stop responding often and I get the "Force close / cancel" error.

SDK is not source. Source just came out - but it isn't complete, like honeycomb. They've not released the framework source. The implication is that we need what was on android.git.kernel.org - but that isn't there anymore. And doesn't sound right anyway - it never had ICS source code, didn't have the new apps, nothing. I quit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bentez2003:
I was only joking before.. Does no framework source point to ICS not being as open as Gingerbread and as closed as Honeycomb or is there more still to come you reckon?

Thanks for the tip. I actually found player pro by myself. However one niggle remains. When using player pro even, having music play a while with screen off, when I use headset controls or longpress volume key to change song, playback stops until screen is turned off. Basically this is what default music player did on nightly 84 aswell. Seems like change song command while.in low power mode causes bluetooth to stop playback until screen on. Can someone confirm?

As i have understood by reading alot and google about things......i have got the impression that its the chips code to control them and how to get them to work that is the problem cause that code is not open source......and not the google stuff as for example gingerbread.......as for example if no driver found for your soundcard in windows.....no sound.....and bad driver bad sound.....

"The chip" that decodes is merely the GPU if I'm not mistaken. The fact that 4.0 brings all that to the table without extra workaroud from other manufacturers should help the team.

We'll continue until we get ICS source, then we'll most probably get busy working on that instead. There aren't enough developers working on this to keep both going. There are basically only 4-5 developers who work on Samsung phones, and we have limited time in our lives to work on every possible thing related to the phones. Basically unless the fix is easy, or it is something affecting one of the developers, it gets puts on the ever growing queue of things to work on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Yes and no. Having the codecs is nice, but the actual work has to be done on the GPU which requires us to be able to send down stuff to the particular GPU in a form it understands and we don't have code for that (though we've managed to hack some stuff based on what the driver does).
