Im not sure is rom related ? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
As was explained to you. FLV can contain a MP4 file or a M4V or any other file format. Using the "FLV" file on Samsung ROM - the phone reads the file and see it has a M4V file (example) and then decodes it and plays it. The same file on CyanogenMod might not have the the codec (not free, therefore not included) to play the M4V file so it fails.

It's certainly a lot quieter. I had to use the "preamp" gain in PowerAmp to get any decent volume out of it, that's generally something I don't like using. Full volume now is about the same as half-volume at some stage in the past.

Meh.

Just flashed to CM7 build #93 and I like the new layout and tweaks but few questions:

- My status bar (battery and wifi indicator) is not green anymore. It was green earlier don't know if its a bug or not :/

- How do I get back the default notification sounds and touch/keypad sound ?

- How do I go back to the old focus method on the camera ?

- Can I use a different kernel like Siyah's ?

#93 camera keeps crashing by the way
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
-your status bar icons will be the same colour as the theme you install dictates, by default it's white.

-the default notification sounds can be change in settings -- sound

-I don't know what you mean

-you should try the stock kernel, it's great, I don't think you need to try another one. At least at first

For camera crashes try removing old videos and photos taken in the past (with samsung ROM) from the DCIM folder. Move there anywhere else and it should be fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiggah:
With the stock samsung camera, I tap the screen to focus. Now with the CM7 camera, I am unable to tap to focus on my subject

One more quick question:

How can I add widgets to the lockscreen ? I used to use widget locker and mclock and I was able to edit the lockscreen.

I want to now add the 'Missed It' widget to my CM7 lockscreen
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Umm install widget locker and mclock again from the market? :confused:

Are we being punked? LOL
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiggah:
Nah I honestly dont know lol I'm new to Android

If I install widget locker and mclock again, won't that interfere with CM7's lockscreen tho ?

How do I switch back to the default Samsung audible touch tones on keypad ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Well yeah, it obviously will but that's the point i thought? You can't have CM features all at the sametime while doing widget locker and all that. You can't do samsung and widget locker at the sametime can you?

That's part of the Samsung keyboard which only works on Samsung ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiggah:
Oh I dont mind widgetlocker replacing the CM7 lockscreen

Its just that I rather not have them interfere with each other as in crashing etc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mignadude:
Hi guys,

Searched the forums but couldn't really find anything. I'm running the latest nightly #94, although this happened in previous nightlies as well. When I apply a theme through theme chooser, everything changes except the pull-down bar and toggles.

For example, switching to the included cyanabread theme, even after a reboot, the toggles remain green. Removing them all and re-adding them hasn't worked either.

I am running cm7 on a I9100T so could that be the reason?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carda21:
I think it is very safe to assume you won't be seeing anything Samsung in any release of CM for the Galaxy S2. Most of the features you talk about have an equivilant app in the market, you unfortunately just have to look manually :)

For example, I use contact groups heaps, so I downloaded "Go Contacts" which has filled the void nicely.

When i boot into recovery manually, it says CWM 4.0.1.0

Buildbot Questions

A couple of quick questions.

1) Is there a url for a site that can tell us if a nightly build has failed?

2) Where does the Galaxy S II build come in the nightly build cycle?

Basically, I want to see if it is possible to work out when the nightly build has failed so I can make my peace / cry into my beer and get on with my life until the next night.....

Glad to see CM7 on the SGS2. Works great so far (but my needs are limited). Missed my nightly flashing since moving from my Nexus S.

Overnight Battery Drain

Great work so far, however I noticed last night that I seemed to be getting excessive battery drain.

I fully charged my phone, took it off charge, reset my battery stats and then went to sleep.

8 hours later 33% of my battery had been used, this is with Wifi on, mobile data off, Google, Facebook & Twitter sync and no other apps running.

As a comparison, running Cognition 1.08 I only get 4% battery drain overnight with the exact same settings and applications (only difference is TouchWiz vs. ADW.Launcher)

I've used OS Monitor and nothing seems to be hogging the CPU, nor is the phone hot (as I know other people have been reporting), my battery usage stats however report that Media (Downloads Manager, Downloads, DRM-Protected Content Storage, Media Storage) was using 40% of the battery overnight.

Is battery usage a priority in any way? What is the best way to report "issues" like this so that they can be looked at at some point in time?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
I believe, if i remember correctly, that it is a known issue that the phone sometimes keeps scanning media. This has something to do with unrecognized formats afaik. You could try to remove all media from your phone and see if the issue persists.

Most issues are known and right now the dev team is focussing on fixing the most important bugs first. There is a bugtracker, but you are not allowed to report nightly bugs there. Just post them here, preferably with a logcat and most likely one of the devs will pick it up when there is time. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
1. Why not? Or why not try it yourself? Easy to do.

2. /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/screenshots. But for some of us this doesn't work. Anyway, if the screenshots do work, then after 2 seconds you're supposed to see the location where the shots are saved in the bottom of the screen. If you don't, taking screenshots probably don't work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkevangerion:
When the phone is switched off, and plug the charger (USB or Wall socket), the phone switch on automatically for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADT7:
Yes, I know about that issue already. However OS Monitor is not reporting any excess CPU usage (during my daytime checks, obviously I cannot check during the night when I'm asleep) and I currently have no media on my phone (except for images taken with the built in camera) so I don't not think this is the same issue.

I'll see how it goes tonight and if there is still such a large drain I'll post up a logcat for the entire night, which I guess will be huge but is the only way to see what is going on whilst I'm asleep.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boal:
Where would you like us to report bugs? Is there an issue tracker?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Just thinking out loud, but excessive CPU usage would heat your phone. In most cases of overheating there is a process or app which turns your CPU fully on. However, in most cases of battery drain, there is an app keeping the phone awake. That does not mean that the CPU would be hogged, but it still drains your battery. You can check this by looking at your battery stats and then more specifically, the graph. Did your phone sleep properly and did the screen turn off? Because it could be an app that is keeping your phone awake. Facebook for instance is an app which sometimes for no reason keeps the phone awake, but there could be other apps or widgets responsible.

I assume my wife's HTC Desire goes into deep sleep, but wake up lag = 0. Given that many other phones have decent battery life and zero wake up lag I'm finding it difficult to swallow that wake up lag is a necessary outcome of deep sleep. In my mind it's just poor design.
