Thank You devs for this awesome rom..no major issues so far just these two minor issues...rest all smooth as butter..;)

1. There seem to be too many pixels in the screen off animation was working fine till evening..dunno what happened.

2. And also an issue with the camera having a blotch like a spot that disappears when I switch to video camera.

Any help please.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

First of all, I love the rom, have been using it for some time now. Kudos to devs!

I have never had any issues with nightlies until now. I'm on #88 now (the issue started for me with build 85).

When I switch off the screen and put it back on after a while, most of the time I get normal lock screen and everything is fine but sometimes there is no lock screen, just ADW Launcher, which is frozen. I have to power it down and back on to be able to use the phone.

I have tried the following:

- wiping dalvik cache

- clearing data from google.services.framwork

- fixing permissions

- I did the clean install (full wipe data, cache, dalvik) to no avail.

Than finally (today) I went back to stock, rooted it, flashed clockworkmod recovery 4.0.1.5, did the full wipe, installed nightly #88 twice in the row from CWM and it still happens sometimes.

I also tried 4 different modems (KI1, KI3, KI4, KH3), problem exist on each of them.

If anybody asks, I actually read the whole thread with hope for the solution.

Has anybody else had similiar problem?

Help!:(

Have you just tried to use another lockscreen style? Rings for example - they are nice ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arekkaras:
I am using rings actually....

Edit: I will change the lockscreen style for now and see how it goes....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeq544:
I had the same issue when I flashed 85, it wouldnt go away no matter what settings and lockscreen I used. I figured I will just live with it until devs fix it, but after corrupted flashing of 87 I had to do complete wipe and factory reset, flash stock rom, root, and after that 87 on clean phone and the issue went away...

I know how painful it is to do a complete wipe and setup everything again... but sometimes its the only way :)

Hi guys, I tried searching but couldn't find an answer yet. I left my phone on overnight with 100% charge, when I woke up 8 hours later battery was down to 64%. CPU spy says deep sleep mode was on for 62% of the time, and the usage stats say cell standby used 30% of the battery. Anyone have any ideas why the battery got so hammered by the cell standby?

Hey guys, two things

Ive been flashing CM7 since the beginning and never had a problem. However, now with nightly 85 and 88 i get the same amount of battery drain. idk where i have no wakelocks or anything and everything seems to be set up properly. anyone has any ideas? I kinda sorted the screen consumes near 500mA when full brightness and roughly 20mA when it is lower so maybe that could be it?

Second thing: what do you guys think about this Siyah kernel. has anyone tried it with CM7? Should we even bother since the stock kernel is pretty good (I OC/UV the stock kernel using setCPU) ?? any comments would be appreciated thanks a lot

Wipe data for Contacts app.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

You say "same amount of drain" - if you're getting more than 24 hours out of the phone then it's probably not too unusual.

Siyah works fine with CM7, gives you more options for over/under clocking.

I don't bother with SetCPU, I just use the CPU controls built into CM7, I don't believe that undervolting makes much difference to the overall battery life as my phone doesn't spend much of its time anywhere near 100% CPU.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaznxplaya:
Hi,

I think by flashing this ROM, I deleted my contacts on the sim by mistake =S. When Importing them now I have like 1 showing only. Is there a way to recover that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
No.

The only way it should be possible to wipe the SIM contacts is by doing it via the contacts app. Nothing in the flashing process writes to the SIM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaznxplaya:
I'm 100% sure I didn't delete them by myself. It there a way to read the sim card? I had over 200 contacts the only one I have left it's the one I added manually to the sim card a while after I got the phone ( before flashing it ).

Thanks

EDIT: I switched the sim card to my old phone and it appears that I really have one contact left on it only :(. No idea how it happened. Is there a software or something to recover that or it's gone for good
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
You'll need to get an external SIM card reader and try to do a data recovery on it, you'd then need to extract the relevant information out of the data. Difficult, and time-consuming.

I'd use it as an excuse to do some pruning.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
1. The stock kernel is good and has all the functions one needs.

2. Undervolting is nice because the phone doesn't become so hot while it's working.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mixy:
This really just looks like a spot on the sensor to me (dust or similar), have noe idea how software could explain that.

Oh, and it works in video-mode could be explained that because it has a different resolution, it would use only a few of the pixels on the sensor, leaving the spot unseen.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batou222:
Hi There, I'm stuck trying to install CM7.

I have a Galaxy S II that I have flashed to 2.3.5 - XXKI3 using this guide/files:

http://androidflip.com/install-andr...-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-installing-guide/

Then root using:

http://androidflip.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-on-android-2-3-5-xxki3-gingerbread-firmware/

(CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4.tar)

And it works a treat.

However I'm stuck trying to load CM7 ROM onto the phone using the instructions at the start of this Thread.

Make sure you're running a rooted device. - Yes because ClockworkMod Rom Manager works and has root access

Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1118693) - Done and paid for ROM Manager Premium

Do a Nandroid backup!

WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real. - Yup did both of these from the ClockworkMod Recovery Screen

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery. - Yes, tried both the Stable and the Nightly (Build 88)

Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step. - Yes did not reboot

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install). - Yes installed twice and the second time it takes longer

Reboot - Yup

Then it starts looping the Galaxy S II load screen with the yellow triangle (due to root). Can't boot into ClockworkMod, only thing I can access is the Downloader which enables me to re-flash to 2.3.5.

Also tried resetting permissions in ClockworkMod.

Am I using the wrong starting Android version to start off with that is not compatible with CM7? CM7 is running 2.3.7 do I need to flash to that first?

Hoping someone can help, thanks in advance!

Strange, someone on the MIUI thread said it recorded in 1080p when I asked the same question in there, although they said the frame rate was 23 instead of 30 and the quality wasn't quite as good as stock which is no surprise.

Just about to install MIUI so will confirm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsimonr:
It all depends if you are sticking with samsung stock (in which case, no point you been on this thread) and want to use kies, in that case you will need drivers but they are included with kies.

If you are wanting to run cm7 then you wont beable to use kies but the phone will work on any computer as mass storage, thats all i use to back up my internal sd card.

And then buy premium rom manager so you can update cm7, it also gives you a notification when a.new update is ready.

Hope you do buy sgs2 and enjoy it, i use to have iphone but since i got sgs2 on release day, ill be sticking with android :)

I can confirm in MIUI that LGCamera Free from the market records video at full 1080p and has a lot of options for changing the bit rate, frame rate and audio. I see no reason why this wouldn't also work on CM7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeworkx:
i'm pretty sure it doesn't.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Actually, the problem is the software. The stock framework has modified libcamera that includes the appropriate calls into the drivers to make HD work. We don't have that code because Samsung did not open source it and so have to rewrite it ourselves. Any camera app that either implements it in software, or calls the driver directly would work. The stock CM7 camera app does not do this, it depends on the underlying libcamera to do the work (where this sort of intelligence should reside). So theoretically software encode should work, but in practice, software encode is frequently unable to get the appropriate framerate for the higher resolutions. Most apps would not be targeting the hardware drivers directly but if any do, they'll work.

Downloaded ClockworkMod ROM manager and updated to 4.0.1.5 through that granting superuser access at the same time (as I did before)

Loaded up Recovery, and flashed the zip twice after clearing out both data/cache.

Until ICS is actually on the sites, it means nothing. But yes - it is an improvement that they at least have a place to put it now (and we saw the post you linked the moment it was posted . . .).

I felt better after seeing https://plus.google.com/11221887264...eNKBQ#112218872649456413744/posts/HB5qQHeNKBQ - which says that ICS will come to AOSP. *That* is what I was waiting to hear, though until we actually get the source we are still on Gingerbread . . .
