You are wrong, I have just tested this mouse on stock rom and it works flawlesly, mouse pointer shows just as I plug the mouse and it works in all apps etc.

@atinm

Is there a way to use USB mouse via OTG on Cyanogenmod?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohaq:
This doesn't necessarily mean I'm wrong; Samsung's stock ROM has support built in because they designed it with USB OTG in mind; it's possible that the AOSP ROM doesn't compile with the necessary modules by default, since there are so few Android devices out there that support the device as a USB host.

But I'm not saying that it's impossible to do.

Looking forward to build 86 with the new Bluetooth power mode fixes :)

Im confused now...what is the differences between CM 7 V7.1.0 RC1 (9 Oct 2011) and Nightly 85 (16 Oct 2011) ????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salocosta:
I second LockeOn on this matter. On stock rom I used USB mouse and keyboard with OTG adapter and on the CM it is not working. Will this be fixed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
I am surprised it doesn't - I thought I'd seen people use an usb stick on it at least. OTG is enabled, but I am not sure what else needs to be enabled as we are using the stock kernel configuration.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
RC1 is just a build from earlier that you can file bugs against while nightlies are nightly builds that fix those bugs/add features.

USB mouse and keyboard are working just fine here. Only problem I have with OTG is unmounting USB storage. I've tried adding /mnt/usbdisk to ro.additionalmounts in build.prop so the option in storage settings is there but when I remove the cable I get a notification to reinsert the sd card that won't go away. I've tried umount from the terminal with no success too.

Make a full wipe and flash the ROM twice in row and you're fine.

At least it worked for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhanky:
I started last week reading this topic (first post I read was the release of the rc1) I did this just to get notice of all the bugs/solutions and responces

I installed the rc1 last week without any problems. I was very happy with cm7 so the nightly 81 followed very quickly. The next day I got some reboot loops (phone was hanging in de Cyanogenmod boot animation) I went back to rc1 but got the boot loops two times more during the weekend. I dont know why but it could be that this happends after i removed widgetlocker and started to use the lock screen from cm7. The last boot loop was Saturday morning and after the restore that morning its running fine without problems

Im very happy with cm7 and will flash the last nightly tomorrow because I hear good things about 82, 83 and 84.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gawis:
just tried it and it doesn't work here either, am running nightly 84

I plug in my OTG cable and it doesn't show a notification, then when I plug in my mouse the led at the bottom lights up for a second and then goes out

no mouse on the screen

I haven't tried this on a CM rom before but did test the same hardware on a Samsung rom a while ago (to play Full Throttle on ScummVM :) ) and it worked fine

CyanogenMod Settings Backup

Hi,

is there a way to backup my Cyanogen and AWD config before I install a new nightly?

Would be nice if I could just install a new nightly without the need to do the configuration again...

Thank you for any hints...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
I guess we should say we're aware of this now - but the priority is very low.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
You can backup the ADW settings there is a menu point for this:

Settings/ADWLauncher/Backup and Restore

Cyanogen settings don't have this option.

But you don't have to perform a full wipe every time you flash a nightly. Cache and Dalvik is enough.

If you have a problem you can still perfom a full wipe.

By the way: It's handy to own Titanium Backup to restore all your Apps with Data etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
any idea if nightly 86 gonna be out next 5-6 hours or so?

USB Stick works fine via OTG on Nightly 84, mouse has all of the lights and optical sensors working but there is no mouse pointer or any other GUI. I had no time to test USB Keyboard so I can't tell anything about it. To sum up OTG IS WORKING but it lacks full functionality.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volapyk:
Hi,

Regarding this (soundpool) AOSP bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...c=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars&id=17623

This bug causes crashes in some games. In my case Pocket Legends. The bug is unresolved in 2.3.7 so I get constant crashes in PL when using CM 7.1 and any AOSP based rom I've tried.

My question is. Is there any possible solution for me to at least partly solve this issue. A custom kernel perhaps?

BTW...The reason I ask is that this bug is present in SGS2 based roms as well. But for some reason ki8 or litening rom, both with nimphetamine kernel, result in very few crashes. Mostly hours apart.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
Samsung made a point of advertising MHL hardware compatibility, hence why they sell their own branded MHL adapter.

Try plugging a powered USB hub into it and plug the mouse into that. The USB port can't supply much current.

Didn't realise ScummVM supported a proper mouse, will have to try it with my TouchPad, using the touchscreen is awkward for some parts.

KI4 and KI3 error with build #85 on KPN Netherlands

Dears,

I flashed KI4 a few days ago, no problemo. I just flashed to #85 - and my cell coverage is gone. Moved back to #84 - no fix. Reverted to KI3. Hey presto, coverage is back.

Moved to #85 with KI3, signal dead again. Back to #84, dead. Moved to KI4 again(it's like calling a government agency.. :x) - now it's working.

(OK: scratch that. Rebooted phone - dead again. Back to KI3)

Did anyone else experience this?

I'm at home tomorrow - and probably tonight if anyone wants to check the details, just need to find a way to find me awake. I live in GMT+1 or CET time. It's around 23:30 while I'm writing this.

Details on a row:

Phone: GT-I9100

Operator: KPN(Netherlands)

Current baseband: XXKI3

Current ROM: 10152011

SIM PIN: Disabled

Errors occurred with following combinations:

KI4/85

KI4/84

KI3/85

KI3/84

Found out that rebooting magically solves the issue. When I have the issue the 'baseband version' is empty in 'menu->settings->about phone'.

Faulty modem in my phone?

I've got no idea where to start troubleshooting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyzulu:
It does make a difference depending on your choice of modem. For example, I tried all the newer modems (KI1/3/4) and found that neither were as good as my original supplied modem (DUKF4 - Vodafone Australia custom).

So, test things out.. select the best modem for you. I don't think the Rom makes that much of a difference in my experience.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhontele:
The weird part is that I've been using KI4 for a while without trouble. This issue showed as I changed ROM - probably due to the reboot.

It could just be that the KI-series don't work well with the KPN cell-sites and I never noticed. I don't know. I figured that a quick incident report would be usefull in case multiple people would be having the issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
I have the same issue even using the KG3 modem. A couple of reboots seems to sort it out. I don't think that it's CM7's fault as I still had the problem after reverting to my Leomar ROM backup.

Hi guys, newbie to anything other than flashing CM6 to a HTC hero here.

Aaanyways, i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Docking station (ECR-D1A2BEGSTD). Im eagerly awaiting a RC for SGS2 of CM7 (and i promice not to ask for an ETA)

I know CM7 for SGS2 is still in early nightlys and i feel kinda stupid for asking, but i was just wondering if theres anything i can do that would help the devs make this accessory work with CM7, in the stock rom when you put the phone in the dock it opens some kind of fancy calendar/clock with an appdrawer at the bottom.

Anyway, i was hoping i could contribute and make this feature something CM7 would have along with the dock

Im no dev, the only thing i know about code is basic HTML so im just wordpooping and pray anyone understands me..

Ok here i go..

maybe i could (if maybe guided alittle on how) adb-pull some kind of log or something of what kind of "hooks" is "called" to activate the app that opens when you connect the phone to the dock. Maybe near the RC a feature to select what app is opened when the phone is connected to the dock would be possible to integrate?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pume:
If you did not quite understand the answer given to you in the development thread, here it comes again:

1. Kies is Samsung software, CM7 has nothing to do with Samsung. Therefore Kies won't recognize your phone with CM7 onboard.

2. -_- No possibility to help unless you specify which apps and how you're trying to install them. Learn to use Titanium backup. It makes life easier in so many ways (especially the pro-version) when switching between different ROMs.

Once again. Kies is not functional with CM7. Sync your contacts with google and that problem is solved.
