Guys I have a question for you all pros :)

1. Thank you for the great build.

2. Is it normal for the phone to have screen on issues after deep sleep or long time of inactivity? My phone having hard time turning on after a long 'sleep'. Currently I changed using SetCPU for screen off to ensure that my phone gets turn on easily directly from deep sleep. Anyway to solve this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelteixeira:
No pro here but maybe you are using a very low CPU freq when your screen is off.

Try to disable your SetCPU settings and see if the problem happens again.

e set on boot option is there so you don't ahve to select 1600mhz after every time you restart your phone. 1600mhz becomes the default if you like after you select set on boot. i did not have freezing problems before or after selecting that option. must be something else freezing your phone? quickpik used to freeze mine. removed it and now no problems

Nah, some user started it - we don't post there. Basically since the stable and nightly are the same and any bug fixes from the stable will only be fixed on the nightly, we're leaving them mixed here for now. Someone from the CyanogenMod team will create a stable thread, but I'm going to leave it alone because as far as I'm concerned, they're essentially the same and it will just mean there are two places I have to read for the same stuff. Just looked at that other thread, and it is the same as this thread . . . and I doubt it'll change.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fro5tie:
Cheers yes I understand that it will be the new version, just in terms of time frame is it likely to be as soon as the source code for ICS is out work will start on CM9 and forget about CM7?

Also how does it work in terms of different devices, eg when the galaxy S II came out CM7 already existed for most other phones so it was obvious to start working on CM7 for the GS2, but when ICS comes out surely the team will have to work on it for all the different handsets? Is there any prioritisation?

Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm new to android and CM so not sure how this works really in conjunction with android releases

Can someone help me how to find why my battery drains so quickly?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicregi:
I would say do a battery calibration. Download battery calibration from market and charge to 100%, calibrate. Run battery dry and charge full again. After 2-3 rounds should be fine.

Google maps says my device is not compatible. I wonder why. Happens with some other examples as well. The error appeared when I used revolution rom and its still there. Only thing I can think of is Android 2.3.7. Could this be the problem and is there a way around it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicregi:
Actually, with SetCpu then I can get my screen on about 80% of the time. That is also without any undervolting.

I am going to try off the screen anime. See if that works.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
There are many developers that work on CM, and we'll all start with the devices we are concerned with - so that will mean that the same people who do Samsung phones (teamhacksung - meaning the same people who are doing CM7) will start working on ICS for the Samsung phones. The Nexus Prime will be a Samsung phone with similar hardware to the Galaxy SII so we could be getting a lot of stuff if we're lucky. Most probably CM7 development will slow down when that happens because of limited time to work on this (and less interest from the developers when there is something more current to work on!).

Use things like CPU Spy etc to see whether your phone is going into deep sleep and if not, find out what process is running taking up the battery.

This is the only thing - forget battery calibration etc. Just find out what is using the battery, and kill it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeromiles:
So after wrestling with "stable" build #79 and nightly #80, I've gone back to a stock KG6 ROM. I used Lite'ning v5.0 before that and was mostly satisfied. I will probably go back there. Cyanogen disappointed me because although I was happy with the tweaks one can expect from this awesome ROM, it lacked certain features that are important to me. Like:

1. Smart dialing (showing names as I type numbers in dialer)

2. Gestures to the right or left to call or text a contact or call log

3. Using the home key to answer calls (maybe that was in there but I didn't find it).

But most of all the camera didn't work for me. Kept FC-ing. The new market didn't work either. Kept giving me insufficient memory errors which is ludicrous on a SGS2. I installed about 200 apps & games and used 1GB of app memory in the process on my old ROM. If anyone can help with these needs of mine please do as I would love to be back on Cyanogen ROM.

It is more functional as in I can use it as daily ROM, as for the BT, WiFi and radio I didnt use them so maybe because of this, I feel it is more functional. :-)

And maybe I am very used to MIUI interface so I am a bit bias on this. Nevertheless, hopefully they are all communicating and contributing to each other resulting better release to all of us.:-)

I've mentioned this before, and noticed more people who have the same issue:

- i seem to have 2 versions of CWM installed

I would like to solve this issue, as i am not able to flash new updates from within Rom Manager. For now i have to download/install the updates manually. When i try to install it from Rom Manager, it reboots into the 'wrong' CWM. When i manually boot to recovery(Vol up, home & pwr), there are no problems, but ofcourse i would like to use Rom Manager (didn't buy the app. to not use if ofcourse :))

I rooted my phone with Chainfire's kernel and CWM ('long' before CM nightly's came out). Probably this has something to do with it?

Can anyone explain to me (and perhaps some other users) how i go back to 1 CWM, the one that comes with CM?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply. I actually did that before i (re)posted it again. I still have the same issue, right now i have 4.0.1.4 and 4.0.1.5:

- reboot into recovery from Rom Manager gives me 4.0.1.5

- boot into recovery with vol-up,home and pwr gives me 4.0.1.4

also, dont know if its usual or not, when i reboot into recovery from Rom Manager i always get an 'unpacking' screen (box with arrow out of it and an android-logo) before i enter the CWM menu.

When i manually reboot to recovery i dont get this screen, it just enters CWM menu straight away.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tontje:
Thanks for your reply.

Just to make sure i get it:

My current kernel has CWM 4.0.1.4 (when i manually boot into recovery i get that)

When i reboot to CWM from rom-manager, it temporarily 'flashes' 4.0.1.5 (latest version) After a reboot it will all be back to the CWM that comes with the kernel?

This also means it is safe to install updates / new nightly's from Rom Manager?

[edit] and i guess the 'unpacking' screen is the 'temp flashing' thats happening? [/edit]

Again, thanks for the help Codeworkx.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeworkx:
If you boot into Recovery from RomManager it doesn't flash something to your nand.

It just replaces some files on your current ramdisk (non permanent), kills the running recovery and starts cwm again.

We will not include any third party apps that don't come with source code. CM7 is open source, we only take third party stuff if it comes with code and enhances functionality (see DSP Manager) over what comes on stock. When I said we will try to put enhancements, I mean *we'll* try to code them ourselves (most probably by incorporating ffmpeg into the CM7 tree, and making stagefright use it when it cannot decode something).
