Ok, So I have just tried for some hours, but cant get into recovery mode from Rom Manager.

When I try to boot into recovery mode I get the follow error:

"failed to verify whole file signature".

I have read about other people having the same issue, but not been able to solve it. When I boot into recovery mode from rom manager I get into 3e, is this right?.

Anyway I would really appriciate if anyone knows how to get rid of that annyoning error message.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbohm:
are you on cm or on a cf root kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
3e recovery means stock recovery means it wont flash, you looked, and didnt see the answer being posted like 5+ times?

Flash this kernel then you can install cm7 via rommanager
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skogen:
yes I am on cf root and i have also tried flashing stock and back to root.

Edit: I have also tried that kernel with no luck veyka

Edit 2: I flashed the kernel you linked to veryka once more, and what happens now when I go into recovery mode is that an exclamation mark pops up on the screen together with android logo and I am unable to do anything but hold off button.

Atinm said in the first post that CM7 doesn't play avi or mkv files (due to licensing? :S) anyway, does this apply to Cyanogenmod as a whole (ie, all other cm phones) or does it mean that you just don't have it yet for Galaxy

Hello . First of all . Amazing ROM. Specially now that Exchange 2010 is added.

But having the option for the password delay only is a reason to use CM7.

One thing missing is the option to join contacts . I know this is a Samsung thing but this is an amazing feature on the stock ROM.

Is there any other way to do it? Maybe with a thirdparty app?

Another thing is the Taskmanager from Samsung. Love that one too.

Looked at some taskmanagers but didn't find one directly that suits my needs. Maybe someone has a suggestion.

Will keep running the ROM . Might have some other questions later. But so far loving it.

EDIT: Contactapps did the trick.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raudi1:
Joining the contacts is a built in feature. Just open a contact>Menu key>edit contact>Menu key>Join

As for task managers: The Samsung one was completely useless for me. It didn't show all running apps, especially the samsung ones. And on CM I don't even need one since there is no bloatware running in the background. It's only useful to know which apps are running if your device slows down etc. Forceclosing apps can be done with holding the back key when it is enabled under menu>apps>development

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KableKiB:
Yes, think of it like using the bathroom, an update is like a piss, so you usually don't need to wipe unless it makes a mess. If it's a whole new ROM you have to dump out the old one, so it's like having a crap and you need to wipe.

Hey,

I compiled CM7 for SGS2 by following these instructions (replacing galaxysmtd with galaxys2 where needed), however there are some files missing from my zip compared to the nightly zip. In particular:

BCM4330B1_002.001.003.0128.0162.hcd is missing from system/bin (but I have BCM4330B1_002.001.003.0043.0077.hcd)

libsecjpegarcsoft.so, libsecjpegboard.so and libsecjpeginterface.so are missing from system/lib (but I have libsecjpegencoder.so)

bcm4330_aps.bin is missing from system/vendor/image

Is that normal? I haven't flashed the resulting zip yet to see if it works (I bet it doesn't).

By the way, is it me, or the extract-files.sh script is buggy? It pulled all the required proprietary files from my phone, but it didn't copy them to the correct directories, and I had to do that myself.

Thanks! :)

I watch the development of CM for S2 from the first nightly and in a few days I will take part in testing and reporting. At the moment I've some question about the current function volume.

1. Is it possible to undervolt with setcpu? At the moment I undervolt which results in an appreciable higher battery duration.

2. Is it possible to use samsungs utrack?

3. Are there any huge bugs about telephony, short messaging, taking pictures, video record and using gps?

4. Is it possible to use the delivered headphones - with using FM radio - and other headphones - without FM radio?

5. Anything else I should know about this early build of CM? :D

Thank you for answering my questions.

1. No

2. No, but check out Androidlost

3. Pretty much everything works except for bluetooth. I don't use it and I haven't had any of the many problems mentioned in this tread. Definitely no major bugs.

4. All cable-headphones work, FM radio does not.

5. It's awesome! Been using it since the first nightly.
