Just wondering if portable hotspot is working. Skimmed through the last few pages and didnt see it mentioned. Forgive me if it was.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] saywhat4118:
I see the download link in the op but a quick question, is the multiupload link the latest cm7 build?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
Awesome, Mic issue is fixed, running great.

By the way, after you install this, what Google Addon are you guys using? In the thread, it says to install the Google Addon from Rom Manager, however, I have premium, but without the Market, I can't get the license for it.

Edit: I got it, just had to google it, imagine that.

Just a heads up. Rom Manager now has the option for flashing AT&T galaxy s2 in case anyone is worried wether or not they have the correct one. Also, this is a good place to check for when nightlys are merged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drawde40599:
I don't see an option in rom manager??? Only nightly there are euro ones? 75 is last one?? Ur seeing something else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ceo.mtcl:
Runs perfectly!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] metal1f3:
Tap on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and flash the "Samsung AT&T Galaxy S2" option first. Then when you tap "download rom" you'll have a dialogue box pop up saying "Error occurred while downloading the Developer list", likely because nothing has been merged yet, but it's a good way to check for when it is.

Edit: Just realized this makes it impossible to flash gapps through rom manager here is a link. http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip Download the file and place it on your internal sdcard and then flash manually through clockworkmod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
Now that I'm running this latest rom, question, when the dev releases a new udpate (fix bugs, etc), do I need to wipe data, cache, etc. Then do a fresh install from zip, or can you do a update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] metal1f3:
No you dont really have to unless you switch from say cm7 nightlys to MIUI rom's. But just updating from one nightly to the next shouldnt require a data wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:

one question though, how do i do that full wipe on step 4 of the "harder way"?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] metal1f3:

cyanogen camera

this isn't tooo much a deal to me, since I mostly use my 1DSMK2 (as a professional photographer)... but other might notice...

The camera app that is in the Cyanogen doesn't have the anti-shake/stability like the one that came originally with the Samsung stock rom. Plus this camera app doesn't allow you to change the storage location

-----------------

Also.. I am *pretty* sure that the homescreen background picture extended into the status bar; ie. the background of the status bar is transparent. I can't find anyway in Cyanogen settings to get the same effect.

Question for everyone/anyone. I have run CM7 on my Inspire for a while. I switched to the GS2 and love the Samsung email client. This is a corporate work phone and I love to be able to sync tasks over EAS and this is the 1st Android that has allowed me to do that in the native client. Is there a way to extract the Samsung email client and use it with CM7? TIA.

is there a setting in the rom that changes the behavior of the backlight for the softkey? because all the sudden my backlight for the soft key isn't working anymore.... if I hit the power button to stand-by on and off it will blink but it never comes on or stay on

I know the light is not dead.. because i use a program call screen filter... but when I DISABLE the soft key light it TURNS ON... so everything is REVERSED....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
I have asked you to keep your stuff off this thread - this thread is for CyanogenMod and stuff that we are doing. We don't want to have to debug your code. If you have something working, send us a pull request if you want it included in CyanogenMod. We're getting tired of you - if you have something to offer, set up a github account, send us pull requests. Randomly asking people to try out builds that you are calling CyanogenMod for no other reason than that you forked our repositories is getting old. And needlessly increases our debug time, and wastes users time. And while you are at it, don't call what you're doing CyanogenMod. We try to restrict CyanogenMod to the people who actually work on the CyanogenMod updates that come from us. Anything else needs to come in via Gerrit (review.cyanogenmod.com) or github.

Don't get me wrong - we are happy to accept work from other developers, it makes things go faster. But there is a system - use it so that we are not wasting everyone's time, including ours.

I'm not getting the HSPA+ icon. Is this just a build related issue? I'm also not seeing APN settings consistent with the stock build. They're more relative to the old 3G APN settings.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
Yeah, me too - seriously, the guys doing the development are just plain lazy and maybe stupid on top of having priorities that don't match yours. How about you lend a hand and code that up while the developers work on stuff like, you know, bluetooth?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Seriously - considering that our touchkey hardware seems identical to the Infuse, don't expect this any time soon unless we get VERY lucky. Especially since we still don't have working ramconsole support for debugging. (At least not kernels for Samsung-derived ROMs - I assume it also isn't working on CM7 kernels.)

BLN is a minor feature that can have major stability consequences. And the I777 has been out less than a week. Some people have no patience - be glad we have what we have thanks to the hardware similarities with the I9100, but the touchkeys at the bottom are one of the major differences from the I9100.

Amazing work. Dont let the silly comments derail you, the fact that we had CM7 on the ATT SGS2 the day b4 the launch is amazing! and the fact that barely a week after its launch we have a nearly fully working CM7 thats merged into build bots is nearly impossible feat in just one week

cheers and thanks for the hard work

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DaUnderSheriff:
Agreed!

I agree. The fact that updates are coming so quickly to is a testament to the dedication of the developers. The simple fact that Swype is a standalone app that anyone can download on their own is just a testament to the laziness of the end users at times. I thoroughly appreciate the dedication of the CM7 team!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clown_luv:
Atinm you on it lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
This is the typical smart ass attitude you get from the open source community. Not everyone has domain knowledge to add features themselves, and quite frankly it comes across as very arrogant for you to say this. No one said the developers are lazy, you're just being extreme.

Your work is very appreciated but you have to learn to respect the community and accept that criticism comes with the package.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
BTW, atinm - I strongly recommend removing any references to ROM Manager from the installation instructions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
It wasn't the criticism (in fact, the comment wasn't even critical - just purely a state of mind that the writer wished to share with the community when he found a feature that he wants missing, a feature that even the stock ROM doesn't have, thereby adding nothing to the function of the threads) but rather the attitude I was reacting to - the phone has been here what, four days? Backlight notifications are way down on the priority list and have always been across all the devices we've worked on. We have bigger things to fix first - and don't really need to hear about every little thing that people want. It gets tiresome - especially after we've worked very hard, for which we get paid nothing mind you, on something that was way higher on the priority list.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Conversely - no one has the right to say "some feature is missing, this sucks!" - and that's exactly what that user was saying.

Similarly - it has NEVER been OK to ask for ETAs here on XDA. But people still do.

You're right - his timing could have been better, but that wasn't his fault. Still, we do prefer constructive criticism . . . "I'm BUMMED" doesn't count. Basically, if users have something to contribute we like it - we don't need thanks, we don't need donations (I don't ask for them), but we do prefer not to waste our time reading stuff that doesn't help development.

As far as users getting a vote on open source projects - don't kid yourself. Open source is about developers being interested in a feature and working on it. If we want votes, we ask for them. There is nothing at all that I would work on if I wasn't interested in it at some level. If I work on something that doesn't interest me, I get paid a lot of money to do it. I work on open source stuff for fun. When it becomes non-fun, I'll stop and do something else. Which side does a comment like "I'm BUMMED" show up on in the fun:non-fun ratio? Constructive is cool when we make progress towards fixing something.

I really wish to split this thread into a Q&A thread and a development only thread as we did on the international version, but the Q&A forum isn't up yet and perforce, this thread has everything, including stuff not related to "AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII Android Development" even if that is what this is supposed to be about. And development to me means logs, code, etc that I can use while working on the code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
The fact that you have to read through stuff you may not want to is probably an XDA issue. I've hated for the longest time that each ROM only gets a single thread, which results in a conglomerate of posts and is a pain to search through and read.

I think what each ROM needs is its own forum + sub forums, or at least that seems like it would be good first step in the right direction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
People still attempt to do it that way...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
I changed it on your noting it (and seeing the hell in the initramfs+cwm thread). Now the ROM Manager part is after the "harder way", and lots of red.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjsoviet:
I have SoD's also.

However in my case, the issue was probably caused by setting the processor clock too low. I had used SetCPU to downclock the Exynos to 500 MHz max, 200 MHz min with powersave governor for a Screen Off profile - the phone won't wake up after around 5 minutes of dormancy. Upped the clocks to 1000 max/200 min at ondemand governor fixed the issue, apparently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
There's criticism, and there's constructive criticism. "I think I found a bug, here's a logcat and a dmesg, can you take a look at it?" is constructive criticism. "No BLN, I'm bummed." is not.

WRONG. Open source developers work for themselves, unless they're specifically being paid to contribute to an open source project. (Such as Samsung's kernel developers). They may consider the community's desires in response to a polite request, but they don't have to. Saying "No BLN, I'm bummed" is NOT a polite request. Especially when at least one developer has stated multiple times that the cost/benefit ratio for said feature is VERY poor. The I777's touchkey hardware is more similar to the Infuse than the I9100, and the Infuse community has lived without this particular feature for months, because this particular feature was extremely difficult to implement without causing stability problems on the Infuse, to the point where all of the kernel devs gave up and worked on things with better cost/benefit ratios.

An open source project is not dead in the water without a community. It's dead in the water without developers, and if ungrateful or clueless users impede development by cluttering up threads with whining or bug non-reports, developers can't make progress and/or get burned out and go do something else. THEN the project becomes dead in the water. Look at the Infuse community as an example - between an unusually high level of users with poor attitude and laziness (such as posting questions answered in the first post of a ROM thread every two pages) and having ridiculously high expectations for development on oddball hardware with many components not in common with anything else on the planet, nearly all of the developers burned out and bought another device.

I welcome constuctive feedback from the community. The post that kicked this discussion off was not constructive. It was utterly useless.

Exactly. We do it because we take a personal interest in it. So we get annoyed when people disrespect us and tell us to do work that is of a personal interest to THEM and not US. We don't care that we are not getting paid because we like the work we're doing. HOWEVER if you're asking for a feature we don't care about, you're not going to get any traction unless:

1) it's easy to implement (BLN is not)

2) You show usable example code or submit a patch (none was submitted)

3) You incentivize the developer in some other way (such as a bounty on a feature).

You are not educating us on the fundamentals. You clearly don't understand the fundamentals of open source.

You're not helping, and you are adding to the stress.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
go read back what I wrote. I said a feature wasn't there, and I was bummed. I never asked to be added or anything other than that. You ARE taking it to the extreme.

There is nothing in OP as to what features are being worked on and what features are on the priority list. So I am making a statement that BLN wasn't in the built *NOT THING MORE* beyond that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I think it's a typo in your implementation in the infamous SoD patch. See my comment on github... https://github.com/teamhacksung/sam...cd0c73aedfdd6607c0221d96#commitcomment-638242

That sounds like the symptoms of the Samsung SoD bug which there's a patch for, but I think there's a typo in the CM7 implementation of the patch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
I temp fixed the SoD with SetCPU if you keep Min/Max at 500mhz with powersave state.

I have tried 200/800 and still it would SoD. during sleep at any given time that it sticks at 200mhz.. it will just SoD

Sorry couldn't read hardly any of this as you're wrong on mostly everything.

An open source project is dead without a community. Not dead as in stale, no progress, but dead because it will be of no interest to anyone, no one will use it. What good is software if no one uses it?

Anyway, carry on with your duties and I wish you the best of luck in overcoming your personal struggles with software development.
