[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArjenIsMe:
I just tried flashing nightly #95 coming from #94, after installing it would just hang at the samsung galaxy S2 bootscreen, then when trying to flash again I get a getprop("ro.product.device") error. At the end of the error message it says:

E:Error in /sdcard/cm_galaxys2_full-95.zip (Status 7)

Instalation aborted.

Tried reflashing #94 but I get the same error with that one..

Tried wiping data + cache, tried formatting /system as that's what solved it for someone on XDA (I used search ;p) but that didn't help either.

I can still boot into CWM recovery and Download mode..

Any idea on how to get my SGS2 working again?

I'm on CM since Nightly #18 or so and never had any problems till today.

I flashed Nightly #94 and after that my notification sound stopped working.

I've looked after all options in the sttings, that are related to the notifications, but nothing helped.

If i rise or lower the volume for it, the sound plays fine, so at least the sound file isn't gone.

Reboot also did not help.

Some help or ideas would be appriciated. :)

ps. the notification icons are working fine, just no sound / no vibration.

about wifi,

since every nightly build i flash ,does somebody have problems with the wifi option from sleep policy ''never when connected'' ?

because when i lock my screen and i check after 5 minutes the wifi connection is gone and im back on 3g, when i unlock, it goes back to wifi ??

Where can I download the stock cm7 kernel?

Want to try other kernels and test battery life, and if it sucks I want to flash back to cm7's stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Javinator:
Only with v2.0 and up. I believe he said he was currently on v1.8 which is not CM7 compatible.

That being said, kernel information should be (and is in this case) included in the kernel post. I would recommend checking there for more info on that kernel. Search search search.

Yellow screen prob

Guys please help me out i get crazy today.

a week ago i updated from 2.3.3 stock tot 2.3.4 stock and the yellow half screen was fixed.

now i updated tot cyanogenmod 7.1 and the yellow screen prob is here again!!

i heard that you have to update kernel but which kernel is good for cyanogenmod and has the yellow screen fix?

My signature is old i have a galaxy s 2 right now
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L10nH34Rt:
Correct ;) http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,9428
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Try SiyahKernel or maybe voodoo screen tuning app from market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimi22:
Thnx for helping me, i first try the voodo app but that didn't work. I was looking for the kernel but are the cyanogenmod features all the same with this kernal? can i also flash a stock kernel then?

and how about the nightly builds i see you use them are there more bugs then the stable, becasue i think the stable is not stable at al.

video playback also doesnt work dit you noticed that too?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
There is no stable, it was an RC1 based on an earlier nightly, update to the newest 96 when it comes out today many improvements since.

No, any Samsung based kernel won't work, at the moment stock kernel with CM and SiyahKernel work. And one other based on stock CM with added BLN in original dev section.

Do not try and flash any other kernel.

Latest nightlies are pretty good I'm liking them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandwiches:
Fixed this by going back to KE7 modem. Odd.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimi22:
Thanks again, so maybe the yellow problem is also fixed in new nightly ?

i find it strange that it is an RC because i found it in the section stable mods.

and is there any changelog site for the nightly builds?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L10nH34Rt:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2 Many fixes included since the RC. You won't be able to see them all there.... RC is the same as nightly 79 AFAIK.

PS. Wait for #96, it won't be long now and it will include the notification sound fix ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimi22:
Ok chill i am waiting for the 96 nightly then. can i flash it without losing anything? only wipe dalvik cach?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
And clear cache
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryflanagan:
Hi

I have found that the best way to diagnose issues with openvpn is to do an 'adb shell' (or from a local terminal, having su'ed to root) and then run the command:

openvpn --verb 4 --config /path/to/config.ovpn

You can then see the output and what is failing.

I rely on OpenVPN all the time, and can testify that it works perfectly.

Hope this helps.

Efxaristo Thanks!

Do you mean clear cache in recovery (clockworkmod) wipe cache partition?

I just flashed the new nightly and i think it has fixed the yellow screen problem dit you noticed that too? and browser is sometimes not working, when i reboot it works fine again but sometimes complete stuck do you have that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L10nH34Rt:
Yes, sometimes it happens to me as well. Haven't been able to pinpoint exactly why. Try clearing Cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery and see if it remedies the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Don't know if it helps but try fixing permissions as an extra step as well via recovery.

Browser is a bit buggy and laggy for my taste.Dont know what triggers the problem.Did the fix permissions and still facing FCs from time to time
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Javinator:
When you flash the CM ROM, it flashes the CM kernel onto your phone.

So sure, you can flash CM7 with the Siyah kernel, but after the flash that's not the kernel you'll be using any more. If you still want another kernel (in your case Siyah) you have to flash it after you've flashed CM7 (at least that's my experience when it's done through CWM).

Few minutes after posting the above i decided to do a (clean) install even though there wasn't anything specific to the SGS2. When I was setting it up again (manually) i noticed I didn't need to edit settings, as it was putting out good enough light levels. In my office if my big head gets in the way of the overhead bulbs it seems to drop down to 25 but moving out the way puts it back to 40 again. Before for whatever reason it wouldn't get high enough to get out fo the 25 power range.

Holy crap, that's waaaaay too many levels if you ask me. The phone will be changing so often i wouldn't be surprised if battery level drops. Even on constant lighting the levels vary over 100 values so with 2 levels changes withing a 100 value it would be constantly changing driving me nuts.

AOSP: Flash Content optimized?

I've always had a question about Cyanogenmod and AOSP basically:

On stock, alot of flash videos say: "This video is not optimized for mobile" and then the video starts stuttering really badly, and then you turn it off.

With Cyanogenmod however, the video will still display "This video is not optimized for mobile" - but it doesn't affect the performance of it at all!

How is this possible? What's Samsung doing wrong?

#96 seems to be the best so far.

No issues, going well, 5% drain in 8hours with

Wifi ON

Sync ON

2x PUSH accounts

1x IMAP account (1hr)

FB, News and Weather Widgets

However something I have noticed is that if I put my three email accounts in the default email app, it seems to cause a wakelock (need to test further because I am unsure of the drain, just the % for email goes up considerably vs 1 account on any setting). Could just be from having all three that it needs more time awake.

I currently am using the one IMAP account in the default app and the Hotmail app for the 2 live push accounts. I have found three issues which I can not get around with this setup tho:

1. Hotmail app only allows up to 30day old emails, want access to all emails in all folders.

2. Default app causes wakelock with more than one account (could be something to do with manual setting on one of them?).

3. Default app has no ability for quiet time (no emails pushed from 11pm - 6am).

Appreciate any suggestions to beat this!!

Odd... I tried using the XDA app and it started randomly making me force close android.process.acore after I tried logging into my account. Did a fix file permission and rebooted but keeps popping up even when I do nothing.

Edit: I notice every time the keyboard pops up it force closes... can't input anything :/

edit 2: going to attempt a factory reset... lets see what happens.

edit 3: so far so good, syncing with google. Think i'm going to skip doing a titanium backup restore and just reinstall all my apps manually.

Edit 4: posting from the xda app. So far so good again. Phone seems snappier than gingerbread 2.3.5.
