What are the benefits of CyanogenMod 7 on SGS II

Okay I presently have a Captivate and CyanogenMod 7 makes perfect sense for me, I get Gingerbread and everything else CyanogenMod 7 comes with.

A Samsung Galaxy S II has dual-core and Gingerbread, just needs root and should be good to go. So how would a user benefit from putting CyanogenMod 7 on a SGS II? The only real benefit I see is for free tethering!

Anything else I'm missing?

OK a quick question. When updating to a newer version, rom manager gives two options, one to wipe data and cache and the latter to wipe dalvik cache. There is none with only wipe cache. Should I use only wipe dalvik? Or should I use both?

Thanks

Thank you for all the hardwork both you and your team. I am having some issues so i hope you can assist me with. I installed everything and when the phone boot up, i am not able to connect to the internet. I tried calling and it works. Funny thing is that i have enable data but still not working.

I had seen the "use /mnt/emmc for external sdcard" in the changelog but forgot to look in /mnt/emmc :) Ext sd card is definitly there but isn't it still problematic that e.g I am not able to see the content of the card via stock File Manager since it doesn't have root privileges or again for instance camera will not be able to use ext sd as a storage? Or am I totally talking wrong?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADropBear:
I am planning to install CM7 over the weekends seeing that the current state of the ROM should be stable enough for daily use (thanks CM devs!).

So just a few questions I hope someone can clarify for me before I flash.

- What kind of files do the "Backup current ROM" in ROMManager Premium and "Nandroid backup" in CWM actually backup?

- I have Titanium Backup Pro so it is sufficient that I rely on this app alone to do my backups and restore?

- Also from the FAQs, I am only supposed to restore the apps + data using Titanium Backup but can I restore certain "green" system files such as Contacts/Call Logs/SMS/APNs as well? (not the red ones)

- Correct me if I'm wrong but when updating from a previous nightly, why does using ROMManager Premium require that you wipe cache/dalvik before flashing while CWM does not?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

1) ALL files in internal SD card. All apps, all state of the apps, everything in ur phone except stuff on ex. SD

2) Yea titanium is fine all apps except Contacts/Call Logs/SMS. Id recommend SMSbackup+ for those.

3) I dont think u can use this, as all these apps are linked to samsungs' stock rom nd it wont work in cynogen.

4) Not sure about this I just just use recovery to do it manually. Might be just a precautionary measure.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lauslein:
I want it so badly, but I wouldn't know what I was doing :(

And codeworxx said he won't add SGS2 specific mods for BLN to the official build so I guess this will never make it to the official CM7 version…
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
It is in the CM7 code tree for the SGS but was commented out by AtinM. For the SGS2 I wrote the code such that it can easily be commented out as well. Once I have completed the backlight timeout, I will do a pull request and who knows, maybe it makes it in.

Once custom kernels start rolling out this will very likely be included.

Failed Signature Verification

Hi,

I am having the same problem when I am trying to move from VillainROM 2.3.0. When I try to install from Rom Manager it fails to verify the signature. I think that this is because instead of booting into CWM it goes into Android system recovery 3e. I have flashed with the latest v4.0.1.5 and can manually go into CWM no problem.

I have tried this and the install only takes a few seconds, then when the phone reboots it won’t get past the Samsung splash screen, it just freezes. I have toggled the signature verification on and off.

I have tried this many many times.

Before I get completely shot down I have Googled heavily, and also searched this forum and the ROM one and haven’t found a solution that works. I’m sure it’s some noob error but I can’t work it out. Any help would be really appreciated as I would really like to try this ROM.

Thanks!

Oh man, I've started to lose hope on BT audio, but secretly hoped you guys have some ideas to work it. But this sounds really bad for it to ever see daylight.

Such a shame to have a wonderful work done on CM7 running on the leading smartphone, but having this one huge achilles' heel, Bluetooth audio... I frankly wouldn't have guessed that will be the showstopper, but I guess it was coming as audio in general caused huge headache.

I will still hope there will be an option c) which enables this and won't require Samsung's attention, but keep on going completely without headsets, ouch. Stock Samsung again? That's a kick on the privates! :(

Cannot mount internal sdcard - known issue? (FIXED)

I've installed nightly #13 (coming from Cognition ROM, doing a full wipe) and enjoy CM7 very much.

But it fails to mount the internal sdcard (I have no external one):

it says that the card is about to get mounted during boot, but then that it can be removed now safely (this stays as a notification; translated).

Is this a known issue and is there a fix?

The sdcard works fine in CWM recovery itself (before booting into CM7).

I have no USB cable currently for proper debugging currently, but could provide information from a terminal and/or logcat from the phone.

WORKAROUND: I can manually mount it using "mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /mnt/sdcard" in a terminal emulator on the phone.

However, it will still not show up properly in the "sdcard" storage settings (where it's still "not available") then, but can be mounted from there then.

It looks like CM7 is looking for the internal (sd) storage somewhere else initially?

I have now rebooted (after mounting it manually and pressing the button in the settings to mount/attach it), and it now held after a reboot.
