No. And it won't...

ICS is coming soon and CM will be built from scratch (that's what I've heard), see few pages back...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Yeah, it's basically the same question I posted with the same command I came up with. However, I do believe it's CM related and this should be the correct thread to post this question. What I found so far, is that I should probably create a script userinit.sh which automatically runs at boot. But so far, I haven't got it to work. Will keep on trying, should be possible...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauwii87:
You can create a scrips in the /system/etc/init.d folder. The scripts in this folder will be executed at every boot. Look at the other files for the syntax. Also dont forget to set the correct permissions! The number in the filename is represents the order of the scripts being executed. 1 is first, 99 is last. Good luck!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilix:
I was having a look at this same thing yesterday as I've a number of apps which won't look beyond the sdcard as a root folder. I'm sure that there's some way to do this via init.d scripts but since I'm not too clued up on those I've got a workaround for it using Tasker and the Locale Execute plugin. It's set so that after the sd card mounts it runs the bind script (I'm using one pretty similar to yours) and voila, reboots are no longer a problem.

@video playback:

I can't play 720p/1080p videos without strong lags in every player because of missing h/w acc. MXplayer doesn't detect my SGS2 anymore, so it doesn't install needed codecs. Same laggy playback with rockplayer.

Hi! I have noticed the same thing on my SGS2 with CM7.1. Top part of the phone gets hot, just around camera lens. So, I checked in SystemPanel app from Market and I noticed that the CPU is at 1200 all the time and in the same app I saw that process android.process.media is keeping the CPU at 1200 from the moment I booted the phone.

As I need my phone, I went to recovery, wiped everything and restored Oxygen ROM which I had before CM7.1 install.

Problem restoring

Hi.

I wanted to try out Cyanogen 7.1, so i downloaded the stable that is out now.

Before installing it I used CWM 4.0.0.2 coming with the rooted kernel KI3 and made a backup.

I then installed cyanogenmod and also latest google apps and latest gmail from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15833172

Then i forgot i wanted to at least copy over data of sms and previous calls...

So I restored the backup.

After starting up again it remembered settings but it says most the apps are not installed, even those from google. See screenshot.

I even ran the restore again from the older CWM and not the one that came with cyanogen mod 7.1, nothing changed.

What I noticed: the new CWM does not see the external sd properly. it is listed in the folders, but i only see one folder there, and not all of them. Also happens when I conntect to a PC have the SD cards mounted. the external_sd card folder in the internal sd card provided only contains one folder, not all.

It apparently thinks all the apps are installed on the sd.

But none of my apps are stpred on the sd (be it internal or external).

Anyone can help me with this?

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

Let me get this right, you were previously on a stock rom KI3 rooted with CF Root, and then you decided to flash cm7 stable together with the latest gapps. So after flashing cm7, you decided to restore the data of your stock rom to cm7? If that is the case, you are doing it wrong, you are basically restoring the whole stock rom from the look of your screen shot.

You cannot restore anything that is from your stock rom to cm7 , stock rom and cm7 are completely different. Now, if cm7 stable is what you want, just wipe everything and flash it again and do your settings again.

As for backups (unless you want to back up the whole rom, do it through ClockworkMod), use titanium backup to backup/restore apps only, I would not recommend backing up/restoring data from other roms.

I hope, this helps, if not, then I have tried my best.:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekar1:
What I did first time installing was flash the rom and afterwards the gapp.zip, then it started into a bootloop. What helped was removing the battery, put it back in and then flash the rom again without clearing data/cache. Maybe this'll help with your problem aswell.

edit: restoring apps from titanium backup won't work with CM. And next time make a backup in recovery mode. Easy and restorable with just 1 button press.

Also, it is not my fault that they change bootloaders just before I get the phone, and you know I like to have the last... :rolleyes:

No problems since CM7.1.0 is ON, even my 1.400 musics and all playlists on the external SDcard stayed on after moving to a different phone, and all the flashing, I am amazed... :cool:

Avoid roms with the new bootloader.

@kshting:

When I speak of backup i mean a nandroid backup through CWM.

I want to go completely back to stock rom.

I understand i cannot apply all the apps and system settings to CM 7.1 - it won't be compatible.

What I did:

- got into CWM 4.0.0.2 from the stock rooted rom and did a nandroid backup

- installed CM 7.1 from zip (twice, since it apparently needs it), did the same for google apps

- did a factory reset, cleared cache, dalvic cache and battery stats

- startet up CM 7.1 and got into the setup procedure asking for google account. realized i forgot something from stock (backup just of my sms messages and phone calls), so wanted to go back to the backed up stock

- restarted into CWM (was now 5.0.2.6) and restored the previous nandroid backup

- restore was ok, but after startup settings there but no apps

- got into CWM again, now the old 4.0.0.2 version and did a restore from backup again, still same issue

I understand i cannot restore apps or system settings from stock to CM 7.1, they are just not compatible (well, the system settings and samsung apps anyway)..

Thats not what i tried.

Quote from melorib:

You have to install a ROM with old bootloader, I used KH3

With old bootloader do you mean old CWM? I did that.

If not:

I would have assumed EVERYTHING would be backed up, including boot loader with a nandroid backup, and a restore would also restore the boot loader.

Is this not the case?

Harder way:

Make sure you're running a rooted device.

Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1118693)

Do a Nandroid backup!

WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery

Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)

I followed those instructions perfectly and now all it does is sit at the samsung galaxy s 2 boot screen. in cwm recovery i did a backup than i chose install from zip on sd card, than i clicked in the newest stable cm7 and installed it. it didnt automatically reboot. i had to go back through the menus and choose reboot system. than like i said. it sits at the boot screen. any suggestions?

I switched from litening which had excellend HD video playback on mkvs with subtitles.

After installing CM I cannot play videos without problems. I tried mplayer and mxplayer and both end up locking up.

I got the arm7 codec for mxplayer but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is there anywhere in the settings where you have to enable the arm7 codec or should it auto load. I know theres a place where you can change default playback with sw or hw depending on extention but this doesnt give me any options.
