Wow - life got surreal here fast as more people from SGS started getting SGS2.

Didn't think I'd have to say this, ever . . . but I never cease to be amazed . . .

The Samsung Galaxy SII is a different phone with different hardware! Nothing from your Samsung Galaxys S (or Captivate, Vibrant, Fascinate, etc) will work here! Not your Captivate kernels, not your Galaxy S clockworkmod, nothing! I repeat, nothing! Follow the steps in the OP to install!

Also, nightlies are automated builds that happen every night - it doesn't matter if something changed or not and whether there are changelogs. The build machines build the source for every phone that can run CyanogenMod, every night. They will build, regardless of code changes as long as the build machines themselves are healthy and the code is buildable. Always.

Battery issues - we haven't changed anything. Sometimes this happens when you have a runaway process - you'll have to see what. Most probably some media file is making mediascanner go nuts.

Well, Android went mainstream and XDA hits top results in most Android related search engine queries. I'm no longer surprised at all.

I mean, why would somebody think system is broken when changelog is empty for a 'nightly build'? Some brainstorm and everyone should figure that out, but they don't. :p

Anyway, I was not surprised that BLN solution will not be available *officially*, since it's kind of dumb to break deep sleep system e.g. during middle of night if you receive email etc. There could be solutions like clear BLN notification after 15 mins or so, but that would maybe bring a bit too much complexity.

If BLN would make it to CM, I would probably not use it due to sleep issue.

I take it that there seems to be no way to hack kernel so that key backlights could remain on and system could still be at deep sleep?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
Codeworkx started work on enabling backlights for notifications a couple of weeks ago. I am sure it is not high priority for the team but at least he has looked at it. If it is possible, he will figure it out.

I just use noLED as a substitute for BLN.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Is it not worth adding it anyway and letting people enable or disable it with BLN Control? Some people might want to take the hit on their battery life to have it enabled.

For what it's worth I have it enabled on MIUI 1.8.12 and the hit on battery life is minimal from what I can see -- I still have around 40% of my battery remaining after a 16-18 hour day of normal use when I put it on charge. I also notice that despite it being enabled my phone doesn't wake up any quicker than it did previously.

I tested it over 8 hours without touching the device:

BLN: 38% drain

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatonjb:
question about that.. if BLN is in the Kernel but disabled, does it still drain faster? I turn on BLN from time to time, and i actualy rarely forgot to look at my phone for more then 20 min so i dont know how much of a drain it could be..

NO LED is nice cause it will turn off after a set time, but i dont know how much that kills battery ..

Hi I would like to know the current status of usb otg, thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Fair enough, I can only assume it's different with MIUI because that is definitely not my experience. Although perhaps we have our wires crossed here. As far as I'm aware (although you without doubt know more about this than me) deep sleep is only prevented while an active notification is being displayed by the LEDs. I set BLN up to flash for 10 minutes then display solid for 20 minutes before turning off. This means the maximum each notification can prevent deep sleep is 30 minutes, and that is only if I don't notice it.

What is the point of releasing nightlies without any changes? Isn't it just the same build as the night before?

Sorry for this stupid question, how do I change the capacitive button time-outs in CM7?

Currently the menu and back button LED are always on whenever the phone is awake.

Same problem I have when using NoLed, the two capacitive buttons will light up when I receive a sms and NoLed displays the little notification icon, forever :(

Thanks in advance :):)

Ok, i don't know about BLN for stock SGS2 roms, but i'm sure that BLN for Cyanogen uses a lot of battery because it will never let the phone to sleep. Pretty simple.

CM7 on sgs2 is still very new!!!

when i was on Desire, nightly 1 is pretty much working everything already. but thats because we had it since CM6(maybe CM5? cuz i bought while CM6 just started). CM6 development took until 250++ nightlies to get to the stable 6.1.0. and then Gingerbread comes shortly after that. CM dev started the CM7 nightlies pretty late but nightly 1 is pretty much complete except without much CM settings added yet, which is we only lack the enhancement. I use them until 120++ straight until i bought SGS2(well changed occassionally just to try out other roms but i reverted back on instance).

So guys, CM7 on GS2 has just started. i mean really just started. I'm sure when ICS come, it'll be much more quicker to have everything working since our devs here will sort it out on CM7 already.

to be honest, current CM7 is actually working well for me. all the features missing, i didnt really use and i can replace the BT for my headphone until it is fixed. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwestpha:
I would too, but the question is whats more important to you? Bluetooth or being able to use your device? Most of the ROMs out there are based on the OEM code that's bloated, doesn't function as well as stock or free market options, and is out of date. Sure they are pretty and some of them are amazingly fast and optimized, but that cant save the fact most of what makes Android... err... Android has been ripped out.

CM7 is great even at this early stage.

I have a question, has anyone been able to register for push update notifications, i have a premium license installed and working but every time i try to register it says failed, anyone managed to and if so how? :p

I haven't seen this mentioned and sorry if I missed it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Have you registered it in the past? I registered it a LONG time ago and on every reboot it tells me I have an update available (each day that a new nightly comes out). But I have tried it like you said and it does say it failed for me too. So my guess is that in my case at least it knows/remembers that I am already registered possibly.

EDIT: SORRY I am on the sgs1 captivate but all applies to me as I wrote above. I follow this thread learning how it is going so I am ready for the att version of SGS2 whenever it finally shows up here. Sorry if I am out of line posting this as I thought I was responding in the CM7 captivate thread.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
MIUI isn't stock any more than CM7 is, and providing there is no active notification it allows deep sleep (see my post on the previous page). You just need to set it so the notification doesn't stay on permanently by using BLN Control -- I have set mine to 10 minutes blinking and 20 minutes solid.

Download and flash this kernel, put the zip file into the internal storage, reboot into recovery, wipe data/cache, chose flash zip from sd card, flash the cm7 zip.

well, the 4.0.1.0 kernel was at the link posted on the previous page, however, it has been updated to 4.0.1.4. IIRC, someone had issues flashing CM7 after using this new version of kernel... but I could be wrong.

also, to wipe system, go to mounts and storage (I think) then click format /system

if you haven't been wiping system, try that and give it another go... very important step IMO

Okay, I have 4.0.1.4 now though. But I'll try one last time tonight, then I'm off to bed (unless it works, then I'll probably enjoy the hell out of CM7). Btw, does format /system wipe everything on the SD-card?

Cyanogenmod7 General

Hi,

I've been following the related forum posts about this rom and doing my research etc, as i'm pretty new to Android and flashing custom roms, and after much debate, i'm going to wait for a stable release for the Galaxy S2 (if it ain't broke don't fix it!). Just a couple of things I'm unsure about and thanks in advance to any replies here,

Ok here goes;

I understand you have to root the phone BEFORE flashing the cyanogenmod7 rom

so in my - settings - about phone - it tells me i have "KE4" baseband and "XWKE7" Build number on my current stock rom, so would i root my phone with the "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4.zip" from Chainfires thread here; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and follow EXACTLY in the thread how to do it with odin and etc

Then when the phone is rooted, get onto the marketplace, download and install clockworkmod and rom manager, download the stable cyanogenmod7 rom, transfer it to a memory card and install from there via clockworkmod? Also one more question in advance; do you get automatic updates when you have installed cyanogenmod7?

Thanks and any help appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangiers:
Once you have rooted your phone, download and pay for ROM Manager premium (you can't get nightlies without premium). Run ROM Manager and it will ask you to flash Clockwork recovery. Do that. Then through ROM Manager, download and install the rom you want. It will ask if you want to backup, always do, and if you want to wipe. It is preferable to wipe but you should have your Apps backed up with Titanium. The rest is done automatically.
