Has anyone tried LGCamera from the market? If so what resolution does it record at and what frame rate? I have installed it on Cognition stock and it allows full 1080p recording at 30fps, although I suspect that is as a result of the built in stock hardware codecs rather than the app itself.

Can someone confirm?

I have also KPN network in the Netherlands (HI). But no problem with the KI3 modem. I have tested it on nightly #80 and #85.

I had already MIUI with KI3, from there flashed Cyanogenmod.

Did you try a full wipe?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhontele:
I'm pretty sceptic about a full wipe - I don't have a lot of backup tools right now and I figured that - as long as I can fix it with reverting to older stystems - I wouldn't need it.

Besides: if I would do a FW there would be no data left to collect if anyone wants to have a look at things.

Hi, I want to root my phone and use CM7 to get the following features:

-mute camera shutter

-disable battery full notification

-lock screen gestures

I know nothing about rooting, modding, ROMs or kernels. Could someone please give me a brief introduction?

Also could somebody tell me if CM7 increases or decreases the speed of the Galaxy S2?

And how does this mod affect warranty? If it does void the warranty, is this mod particularly safe?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -pól-:
Do a quick search. Root it with CF root (dead easy) and then follow the install guide in this thread. Much faster and nightly 85 has great battery. Highly recommended. Take your time and read as much as you can. Invest in titanium pro and back up your apps and their data, but not system data. Do a full nandroid backup. And, again, READ AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Can't stress the importance of that enough.

Hi there,

I can not install Cyanogen-v7.1.0-Stable from stock ROM I9100XWKI8...

I have done the installation process same as it was told in the post #1..

RootedDevice+wipe data/factory+wipe cache partiton+2xROM installation from sdcard.

But unfortunately when I reboot after 2nd installation it stuck on boot screen (at exclamation mark screen)

Just cycling on this screen...

There is one thing to do, just flash back to stock ROM I9100XWKI8..

I had installed Cyanogen-v7.1.0-Stable version before this latest stock build (I9100XWKI8), but I don't remember which one.

Is there anybody could install Cyanogen-v7.1.0-Stable or any other custom ROM from I9100XWKI8?

Please HELP!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
Out of respect for TeamHacksung, I will not talk about my kernel in this thread. your question however is more general so here goes:

Not all, but virtually every, nightly includes code changes. There are typically two types of changes:

Most of the time, the changes are within CM7 itself, i.e. camera app, mail app, ADW launcher etc. To get these changes, a full install of the associated (or later) nightly is required.

Every so often, there are changes by TeamHacksung to the SGS2 kernel itself. These changes are typically not dependent on the underlying CM7 and can be applied to an earlier nightly by just doing a kernel update.

As a rule of thumb (although not always true), if the commit was authored by either AtinM or Codeworkx, it is likely a kernel change while commits from other CM7 developers are not.

The most recent changes to Bluetooth (nightlies #85 and #86) are contained within the kernel and as such falls in the 2nd category.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fr33L4nc3r:
Quick advice to people new to CM7 :

Don't use the "stable" version (which was renamed Release Candidate) because it is far less stable than nightlies built since - #80 and after -)

@hknklbk : Did you try flashing CM using codeworkx's kernel or another one (CF-root) ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaypalnitj:

I really love the CM ROM and thanks n congrats to all the devs who have put in efforts to come up with it.

I have some queries. I keep losing my data connection n mobile network and then phone will restart. Is it a known problem n is there any workaround yet ? I tried to do the fix permissions also but doesnt seem to work. Also the market keep crashing for no reasons. I went back to 2.3 version but it will update itself to 3.1.5

One important issue is I use hindi font so i copy some ttf as sansfallback.ttf to the fonts directory but everytime I install a new nightly, I have to redo.

Plus I use Polaris office and I have to copy libs to the lib directory everytime.

Is there a way I can keep these permanently ?

To whoever is asking for support for Bluetooth higher than 1.3 - we can't. We don't have all the code and documentation we need for the bluetooth chip, and so we cannot support it. We actually have bluez code, but nothing that can interface with it in the higher levels of the framework can communicate with it due to missing pieces in the middle. I think for now this level is all we can do. If we get more code, either from this or other phones using the same chip, we'll revisit.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
It sounds like a bad download. Try downloading the CM7 zip and codeworkx's CWM only kernel. Then flash codeworkx's kernel that only has CWM and go straight into recovery and then flash the newly downloaded CM7. Flash CM7 twice without rebooting in the middle, just in case you run into the install bug that we have when coming from stock. Use the appropriate kernel and CM7 for your phone - make sure it is for the correct device. If all fails, flash stock using Odin and restart the process.

Hey guys, quick question about a problem we can fix.

The problem I'm going to describe exists on ALL roms that contain the new market. The issue is the following: The cache partition is only so large (32mb?), so the folder /cache/download (sp? I believe that's the exact path or 'downloading') that is used for restoring market apps on first boot becomes full after just a few apps installing. Once it is full all following apps fail to install/restore. My solution for this has been to remove /cache/download folder, then symbolically link that folder to /data/download_cache or something to that effect, thus giving it much more space.

The issue is the market SHOULD be cleaning up after itself in the folder but for whatever reason is unable to do so/just doesn't. My method above is a workaround, and yes I can certainly do it by hand and takes almost no time at all, nor is it a cyanogenmod issue, but I think the whole point of cyanogenmod is to fix those things that google hasn't :) Just a thought, either way keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lupos89:
Thank you.. I flashed the last stable CWM and when I entered recovery it automatically started the backup I planned before and then flashed the nightly.. I can't did it twice because the phone restarted automatically after the first one.

If you use Rom Manager itself to install and dont select google apps as part of the download you will lose your already installed gapps. If you use Rom Manager to download but install from recovery (same as From SDCARD option) you will not lose gapps.

The recommended option for installing is to download via Rom Manager then manually boot into recovery (long press power button, reboot, recovery), wipe dalvik cache (advanced options) then flash via "install ZIP from SDCARD".

@atimn

I dont know if is this is the right place for suggestions and I also know that you have a thousand things on priority list but still im gonna make a suggestion.

Im tryin to replace the pattern unlock with the CM7 lockscreen gestures and i think that is a cool thing to do cause I can protect my phone with a unlock gesture that only I know and use the nice features of CM lockscreen without having to go throught another screen with the unlock pattern. Anyway I think that being able to set an unlock gesture is useless if you have a unlock slider.

While doing this i found that some behaviors can be improve from my way of view:

1 - To use the gesture as a security feature I must hidde the unlock slider. When i do this it also hiddes the other slides like phone, silent mode and the custom one.

2 - When the screen is lock and you go run an app using the slider, the phone does not locks himself again when you press back or home, which means that even if i was able to hidde only the unlock slider it still would be possible to unlock the phone running an app straight from the lockscreen.

I know i probably gonna get nothing from this now but if I managed to be clear on my explanation thats maybe a good thing to keep on mind for the future.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
I faced this problem as well and the only solution for me was to factory reset. I suspect somehow the BT configuration data got corrupted.

In your situation, the best way to restore is Titanium. Remember to only restore user apps and data, never system apps and data.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volapyk:
Yes, it's a problem related to dual core phones like the SGSII. And it's unresolved.

On some Samsung based roms/kernel combinations the crashes are far more rare though, for some reason. I don't know why.

E.g:

- Stock Samsung KH3 --> frequent crashes minutes apart.

- Litening Rom KH3 (nimph kernel) --> rare crashes hours apart.

So the difference must lie within the kernel. Right?

That's why I was hoping for some hack/mod/fix/workaround so that I could minimize the amount of crashes on CM as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
You are both correct.

There are 3 ways of installing a rom via Rom Manager:

The most basic way is to 'Download ROM' and, when the download is completed, triggering the install from the popup window. This is where you can select to wipe data, wipe dalvik etc. If you do it this way and you did not select to also download gapps, your already installed gapps will be removed.

A second way is to 'Download ROM' and, when the download is completed, cancelling the popup and using the 'Install ROM from SDCARD' menu option. This allows you to manually select the ROM and is functionally equivalent to the 3rd option (below). Doing it this way will preserve the previously installed gapps.

The 3rd option is to 'Download ROM' then, manually rebooting into CWM recovery, clearing dalvik and 'Install ZIP from SDCARD'. This is functionally equivalent to option 2 (above), preserving the previously installed gapps.

I personally prefer option 3.
