The AOSP gallery lags, that's normal. You can even install the AOSP gallery on a TW based ROM and it will lag. It's not nearly enough to bother me, it's perceivable, but not an amount that really affects me at the end of the day. To be clear the lag

I'm

referring to is when you initially open the gallery, viewing gallery items is quick enough after that.

Can you not play videos you made prior to, or after installing CM7, or both?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
I have installed the environment and all the tools and downloaded the github for CM7.

I was able to build my own "Kang" CM 7.2.0 RC0 for the very first time.

I installed it on my device and it works very well (why not :) ).

Very fascinating! :)

Now I would like to build also my own kernel.

I have found a wiki how-to but it seems to be out of date and not S2 specific.

Where can I find the current kernel sources for the S2 of teamhacksung or do I have already everything I need by fetching the whole CM7 gingerbread branch?

I was searching the github but I was not able to find the current sources (of teamhacksung) for the Galaxy S2.

But more interesting would be a detailed guide how to build a CM7 Galaxy S2 kernel.

I already have the gingerbread build.sh from codeworkx (thanks!).

I would need some info which tool chain I need to install (crosscompiler, Linaro?, version?), how to get and install (repo) the current kernel sources.

I am doing this just for learning purposes only! So, help would be very welcome. I hope I do not transgress a rule or a CM/teamhacksung code of ethic by asking this.

So its not possible with CM7 with the included adw launcher?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynameisjon:
just a general question in relation to flashing a new nightly.

Does flashing wipe bluetooth pairings? I've never noticed it before. Just flashed over an older nightly (107 from 115) because it seems to have 2x the battery life on my brothers phone compared to 115 on mine and I noticed that all my bluetooth pairings have disappeared.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's possible with ADW Ex, don't believe the free (included) version can do that. I use the Ex version and its well worth the cost IMO.

ADW just feels smoother to me and I was able to customize things in ADW that I wasn't in Go Launcher, at least at the time (it's been ~2 weeks since I've touched GL).

kernel repository:

http://github.com/CyanogenMod/samsung-kernel-c1

You don't usually need to build the kernel unless you're actually modifying it. The kernel and modules get copied over to the device/samsung/galaxys2 tree and the boot.img is built using the files there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akas84:
Go launcher is not opensource, does it? -1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
CyanogenMod comes with ADW (open source), so it'll just get installed next time if you delete it and then update subsequently. You can leave it there and just make another launcher your default, that's what I do. The reason CyanogenMod comes with ADW is because it is open source (the version shipped with CyanogenMod is anyway).

@atinm

Many many thanks atinm. That was what I needed to know.

Your kernel and system is great. It's just curiosity and the lust to learn. :)

I have built a whole system (incl. kernel) and it runs great (as expected).

Now I can study the system more deeply. That's incredible faszinating. :)

(I am an old computer freak and software dev since over 30 years. But I had to do so much project/product management the past 15 years, so I have forgotten so much regarding the pure coding. That's why this is still incredible faszinating to me.)

Please, may I ask two additional questions.

Because I would like to know how to get a clean default system, for testing:

Now that I have built also the kernel, I have "lost" your prebuild default kernel on my system. How can I fetch your prebuild kernel from the git again?

So far, I have not modified the installed toolchain or anything else.

Is my self-build kernel still identical to your prebuild kernel or do you use a special buildscript, git, toolchain or modifications when you build the default kernel for the nightlies?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_t321:
do this in the device/samsung/galaxys2 tree:

git reset --hard

That reverts anything that's not committed in that tree including the kernel and modules (which are copied over when you compiled the kernel)

Be careful though, if you've made any other changes to that tree they'll be reset too so use "git stash" or commit them if you don't want to lose them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
Many thanks!

We use the toolchain that comes when you sync the cyanogenmod tree. We actually have a build.sh that we've committed into the kernel tree as well that you can look at to see how the kernel and modules are copied to the device tree, how it finds the toolchain, etc. Follow the instructions on the http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux) page to fill out your tree with the vendor stuff but before you do a build, also copy the contents of https://gist.github.com/1404571 file into your .repo directory in the top of your tree as local_manifest.xml and then do another repo sync to refresh your tree with the kernel source as well. You will see another build.sh at the top of the tree that will show you how to build just Gingerbread, or build with Gingerbread+kernel.

I've posted this in the General Discussion Galaxy S2 Forum but got sent here.

So I've recently rooted my phone (Galaxy S2) to run Cyanogen 7 Nightly 116. Everything went fine apart from I am unable to use my SIM. I've gone through Setting>Location & Security setings> SIM card lock> Set up SIM card lock. Now at the settings I find the box "Lock SIM card" has been ticked and is asking for the PIN even though I didn't lock it. I have tried all the default codes like 0000, 1111, 4321 and the last four digits from my number ect but nothing works. But its not even come up asking for a PUK code even though I might have entered the PIN wrong more than 3 times.

The phone is on contract with 02. Will asking for 02 for a code help? Even though it doesn't even ask for a PUK code? I've also tried using a SIM from a different carrier but the problem persists. The WiFi works fine, its just the SIM is some how locked. I ave also looked into the app by Chainfire but that didn't work just came back with 00000000. However it did come back with an unfreeze code but it tried using that as the PIN but it didnt work.

If you cant tell I'm new to rooting, I've spent the last 5 days trying to fix this with no avail.

I have also tried builds 115 and 114 and it is the same.

Thank you for any help in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
Thank you very much again. The local_manifest.xml was, what I was missing.

I was able to build a whole system already (incl. kernel). I have downloaded codeworkx's build.sh manually (gingerbread branch).

But I missed your mentioned local_manifest.xml.

Now with local_manifest in ~/android/system all should sync automatically at a repo sync incl. the correct build.sh.

I will try again. Thanks for your patience. :)

Now I have a clean system for reproducable investigation. :)
