You're the second person only on this page who gathered a horde of questions, and expects people to give answers. Yeah, I know, we're all eager to learn more about this and that, and we think our questions are highly important, but as atinm said, he spends hours answering these questions over and over again, instead of working on CM7... or spend it with his family! If only these questions would help the development, or if they would be asked for the first time...

Tell you what, once I'm done with this Uni assignment, I'm going to read every post in this thread and make an faq. This way when someone asks these questions we can just point them to it, or we can all just put it in our signatures/OP like: Read THIS before posting. I'd donate money to you guys at cyanogenmod but I'm just a poor student right now so this is the least I could do :P.

To save some people some time and effort searching through the thread (and trolling), I will start compiling an FAQ and post it either tonight or tomorrow.

Well, I didn't try nightly #80 yet, but I'm pretty sure they didn't remove / broke A2DP ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixailo:
Ok, no worries.

BTW I tried out BT on the nightly and it ROCKS! Much better sound than on Samsung BT stack, probably has better bitpool control. Interesting thing: there is no volume level bug with stereo bluetooth, it reacts in same increments from quiet to loud and has a much higher maximum than plain wired earbuds.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdood:
Hey guys a quick question - since installing the CM7.1 Stable build my phone goes super hot after I've been into the gallery, and the battery seems to drain very fast. A reboot seems to fix it.

Anyone else experienced this or care to try to see if it happens for them?

As an aside, does anyone use a different gallery app to the one which comes with CM7?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deciduous Sprue:
Ok.

I'm probably going to get flamed for not looking hard enough, but I have been diligently reading various pages, mostly from xda, for the past few hours, with a view to installing Cyanogen 7.

Put a new kernel on (XXKI3), flashed back to a stock, flashed to a different kernel, and then back to the Chainfire kernel.

Installed ROM Manager, but couldn't boot from that into CWM, so had to do it manually.

Downloaded the latest stable Cyanogen build.

Wiped my phone completely, as per the instructions, and then installed the new mod from zip, from the sdcard.

After reboot, I'm stuck on the S2 logo.

I've tried to reboot a few more times, and reinstall the build, without success (although my buttons now perform different functions in CWM, and occasionally it's all blue instead of orange).

Does anybody have any advice?

A URL would be fine.

Meanwhile, I'm going back to my backup, which, I hope, is still there somewhere.

Thanks! :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Sounds like the media scanner is going crazy, check with OS monitor or some app that monitors the CPU processes. I've read some comments saying it could be caused by videos made with stock samsung camera. If you have any of those, try deleting them.

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Look for it in /mnt/emmc. And please, use the search function first, easy enough to find the answer yourself ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logi_Ca1:
I believe it's a good idea to remove either by deleting or moving to the PC any videos made with the stock Samsung camera. See my earlier post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18312838&postcount=4394

Those videos definitely do something weird. Attempting to open them with any video player results in a black screen. Thereafter it seems like the SD card is in a lock: Trying to make music doesn't work either. Only a restart gets things back to normal. Even closing the video player doesn't work.

BT Works (sorta)

BT is working fine with most apps (music, pandora, winamp) but I have seen the issue with Sirius where the sounds quits when the screen times out. (its actually after the formal screen timeout expires). This did work with Stock, and as of now is the only app I have had trouble with.

Currently running Nightly #80
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterperfect:
This has NOTHING to do with stable or not. This is the way you flashing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdood:
Go to options > application settings and check 'Use Internal Storage', then reboot. The phoen will now use the external SD as the main memory for pictures/music (I'm presuming you're confused cos you can't find your music/etc, as I was for a while)

Thanks for this, it's awesome!

Ah I had a similar issue man. I think messing about with insecure kernels/etc is the reason I was going wrong. I fixed it as follows:

Flash (full flash) back to a stock ROM. (I did something like KG3)

Installed chainfire's CF-ROOT kernel (comes with its own version CWM - Rom manager doesn't work on SGS2, in my experience).

Boot into recover using vol up + home + power.

Backup current rom. Wipe everything.

Install the zip twice in succession.

And from then on it's just worked like magic.

The blue/orange CWM and different controls are the difference between chainfires version and the version which comes with cyanogen mod. I still don't fully get it.

People on here are very quick to be all like 'zomg you didn't search' but in fairness it's quite hard to find the exact information you need.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterperfect:
Flash Codeworkx kernel then try again on the CWM way. Full wipe, flash the CM7 file twice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdood:
Oh my word. Wtf. This definitely seems to be the case :( At least the vids still play on my pc.. Lots of cute vids of my son are now unwatchable on my phone though.. grrr.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterperfect:
People with problem switching to video camera:

1) Backup your old video files and remove them.

2) Flash Nightly 80 (cache + dalvik wipe as usual).

3) Open ROM Manager and fix permissions.

4) Wipe Google Services Framework data (manage application -> all -> google services framework -> clear data).

5) REBOOT!

6) Come back here and feedback if it works. Should work!

Ps.: As far as I know Google Services Framework has nothing to do with camera, but as far as it worked for me and others it is listed here for you to try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdood:
Actually I have no probs opening the video camera, I just can't seem to play any videos at all. Not even dvd rips I have on my external sdcard.. What the.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Hmm, that's a bummer. Let's hope they find a fix soon. I have to say I don't experience this issue while running Oxygen (basically the same, but a somewhat slimmer rom). Don't know if it's the rom or the videos though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdood:

Question regarding flashing nightlies: this morning I flashed build #80 and chose to not download GAPPS with it. Upon reboot, I noticed that I no longer had Talk or Market (can't be sure about the rest). I reflashed with GAPPS and they were obviously restored.

Do we need to flash GAPPS with every nightly? This wasn't the case with my N1.

Do you work on MHL? I'm going to buy one next week and can send you logcats, etc. if you are working on and needed it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
In the instructions, if you are coming to CM7 from something else, flash twice back to back without a reboot in between. The install should take a little time - if it happens too quickly, it means it actually failed. So just flash twice. The second time will actually take. We will fix this as soon as we can, but haven't had the time.

hi is any one experiencing no data connection after flashing the rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hilari0:
Just quick question:

Is it possible to rip out stuff from a stock Samsung ROM and put it into CM7 and make it work? I'm thinking about stock Samsung camera app which I find to be much better than AOSP, Games Hub due to half price on Gameloft games (and licensing issues on previously bought games) and lastly Samsung Apps (licensing issues on Heavy Gunners and Asphalt 6 which was given for free on Samsung Apps). Those are the ones I use the most..

The other stuff like Kies Air which I use once in a while to quickly transfer files over is easily replaced by a market app, and same goes for voice recorder and video/picture editing apps..

I want to enjoy CM on the SGS2 (have been using it for quite some time on my Nexus S), but would like to bring over those if possible.. Do they rely on some Samsung specific kernel module or something in the Samsung stock ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Samsung stuff won't work because this rom doesn't have the Samsung framework. So, no.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
If you use ROMManager, you have to also choose to install GApps at the same time (it asks you). If you used ClockworkMod directly, it shouldn't have got rid of your GApps and it should remain as it was.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
This is a bug I'm working on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hilari0:
Ok, thats pretty clear.. Thanks! I'm guessing that the framework is a core part of the ROM which is not possible to bring over to CM in any way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:

You need to be in a ROM with old bootloader, I flashed KH3, because KI3 has the new bootloader, doesnt work...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
True, or very difficult at least. I believe GalnetMIUI did it, but a lot of the Samsung apps don't work. Anyhow, I wouldn't recommend it. If you want those apps, you're better off sticking with a TouchWizz rom and just change the default launcher to ADW launcher or something like that to get the CM feel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
Thanks for that. In essence, it would be better for me to do it through CWM recovery as I don't want to lose my car home settings every time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melorib:
I use ROMManager directly, "install ROM from SDcard" without installing GApps, and I dont loose any apps...

What do you think about a official nightly thread?

From personal experience I can say it works quite well in the Nexus One and the Nexus S section. It would separate the two topics and would make it easier to see what's relevant.

Nightlies

Nightlies is where you find the newest versions. You can use them you can, help the devs with looking for bugs but you have to know what you're doing and live with the risk that something might go wrong or doesn't work for some days (Nexus S user remember the phone bug?).

Stable

Stable is where you find a good version for the daily use and you have a place where you can ask basic questions to the functionality or installing problems etc.

That at least is how I'm used to CyanogenMOD on XDA and I think it's a great way of dealing with it.
