I find the battery to be better than stock samsung.

Stock room could be maybe 12 hours then my SGS screamed for the carger.

here.. almost 15 hrs and 64% left!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arvindm:
Finally installed the 81 nightly. ROM is fantastic, but there is one persistent problem. The video cam is not working. I formatted my memory card, factory reset and everything. Cam worked fine when I first tried it. Now after syncing my google account and downloading only titanium backup from the market, the video cam is force closing. Still cam works fine, but when I switch to video cam the screen goes blank like as if it's hung. Anyone have any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rvenes:
Where can i get notified by new updates?

I tried the settings, but it failed to register.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Symondo10:
ive been aching to get a stable version of cm on my s2 for ages but tbh i think it still needs work.

the phone does run really hot.

the issue with the volume button is still there and the volume isnt as high as other roms. its just a pain to press the volume down button several times for it to do anything.

i apreciate there will be reasons behind this as its the same as the miui roms.

Don't get me wrong, I apreciate all the time and effort that has been put into this but i wouldnt say its stable to the point of everday use
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ziggary:
I support this fella.

Why release a rom and brand it stable when in really its not...!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shahed26:
Same here as well, great rom in terms of features and speed, but not stable enough for everyday use.:(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
stable

I dont think this means what you think it means.

Ive been running this rom for 4 days now and its not missed a beat. infact im struggling to find a reason to go bk to a samsung based rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FRLinux:
Been on CM nightly since mid July. Been as stable as stock for me. Missing a few features but overall never going back to stock.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shahed26:
The release has been labelled stable, but that doesn't mean its going to be stable and wont have bugs. It depends on how we use our phone's OS.

The CM7 rom is a completely different beast compare to stock, but its still needs work. Clean install of CM7 latest nightly build 81, and am getting FC'S here and there means its not fully stable yet.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JesseK:
Edit: Nm. Figure it out I think.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Razer(x):
Sorry mate, but if you can't install CM7 correctly it's not our fault ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Im not saying there arn't bugs. Im saying there arn't many that cant be easily got over by the user.

If you getting force closes its ether compatibility problems with cyanogen (yes it happens on all CM phones not just the sgs2 check lbe privacy guard for an example. so its not the build) or your doing something wrong.

4 days and not 1 notification, alarm or email missed afaik and no reboots. id consider that pretty stable.

What im saying is small bugs do not make the build not stable.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zeromiles:
Almost there

I'll be trying the latest nightly later. I have flashed this rom atleast 10 times in the past 2 days. I tried Fix Permissions, moved my already created videos from the phone's memory, tried changing the language. But issues persist with the camcorder which only works at first but stops once I start restoring apps from the market. My other issue is getting that "insufficient space" error when restoring apps from market. Lastly I know the phone reads my external 32GB memory card as the songs show up in the library but I haven't yet discovered how to access it from the file manager. Help. I'll be going back to Lite'ning 5 or a rooted stock rom if I don't get these issues solved tonight.

Issues:

Camcorder

Market (insufficient space)

External sd
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lupos89:
Guys I'm new with cm and I would lile to ask you some questions:

-it is possible to flash another kernel? Do you think that it will help or this "stock" one is better?

-of I try a new one how can I get back with the "stock"? I didn't find it anywhere!

Thanks in advance

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Plopz:
This sounds like a threat more than a plea for help?

External SD - /mnt/emmc, it's not external_sd anymore.

Camcorder works for me so I can't help, same with market.

Have you actually checked how much space you have remaining on your internal memory at all?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
- yes if the kernel thread says so but stick with stock for better support on problems (Team Hacksung dont support custom kernels)

- yes just flash the latest nightly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Plopz:
Nope, you can't use normal kernels with CM7. The kernel that comes with CM7 can be UV/OC to your hearts desires, so it should be enough for most peoples needs.

If you want CM7 "stock" kernel, you can just unzip the CM7 flashable zip and look for the zImage file.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cy88:
Thanks for the release CM! I bought a SGS2 today for CM7 :)

Anyone got issues with the automatic brightness? It stays at the dimmest :(

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JesseK:
Anyone know how to go about getting the Samsung messaging app on this?

I ran a Titanium Backup of everything, but not sure which app it is.. :rofl:

Also how about getting the screenshot functionality back to it by holding power button + hard button? I see there's "screenshot 1.0" but not sure how to get it to enable. Might need to restore and reboot... will try that now.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cy88:
Thanks. I tried, but just that for some reason the sensor thinks it's very dim outside, and leaves it at the lowest. Any thoughts?

Already tried wiping everything and re-do'ing it again, same result. Trying nightly build now.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fourinthoughts:
I was just experiencing the same problem (I didn't wait 20 minutes but 2 cigarettes). After 2 failed tries I think my problem was that I kept flashing the gapps package right after CM. I never had that problem before with the Evo or Nexus 1 with CM, but I guess it might different with Samsung ::shrug::

What worked for me: 1) Flash CM 2) Reboot Device to Home Screen 3) Power Down/Reboot to Recovery 4) Flash gapps

Post if that worked for you too
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rikc:
Same here. FC in the browser a few times a day. Also once in bluetooth settings. Updated matket to 3.15 using cm7 zip as mentioned earlier in this thread but no difference.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Glad I made a nandroid backup.

It's nice and swift, and the lunar ui CM7 theme certainly gives it some eye candy but the stability issues are killing it. Market FCs constantly. It will be stable someday I'm sure.

Not even angry birds freakin works! I'm done. lol.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zeromiles:
I got the card thanks. I'm back on Lite'ning ROM 6.1. Was on v5 before that. The camera worked for me for a while then stopped. I used FIX PERMISSIONS and moved my videos but no go. The market stopped reinstalling my apps after about 60 of them. There was about 1.5GB left. This was nightly 81. Will be back when those bugs are sorted out.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paraklas:
I have been running this rom for the past 4 days, there are no FC on any app, no temperature issues, bluetooth works fine and getting around 2 days of battery with moderate use over 3G network (APN were spot on). Overall I am very happy with the software, some glitches (most are reported numerous times) could be fixed (although not annoying / preventive towards proper operation)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] delbert3mil:
I turn the flash Cyanogenmod7 and before I made a backup of the previous rom ... After date wipe, wipe the flash cache and the cel Cyanogenmod7 all good ... As I was driving and could not deal well because I gave him and wipe wipe data cache and gave him back the backup restore I did and then I went back pal rom q na had .......... And now I come home and do the same procedure I did to flash the Cyanogenmod7 and I do not go up

Guys I know this isn't a problem with this build but maybe you guys will know how to help, flashed Nightly 78, then stable 7.1 and camcorder not working, photos work fine but not camcorder, I've always wiped everything, cache/dalvik/data but I'm guessing I got some file in here that keeps the aosp camcorder from working since I tried another aosp ROM and again no camcorder...

Any tips or clues where I could start looking for culprits ?

Signal Strength and Using a external Antenna

Hi...

Great to see it has gone stable and bluetooth is now working, amoungst other things. I just wanted to point out 2 things I have found..

1. When you check Status in about Phone, and you look at the signal strength mine never goes above -89dBm.. Inside or outside.. and as a follow up to that question.

2. When you hook up and external antenna using a patch lead and antenna compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S2, again the signal strength does not change, but I can tell it has better signal strength due to my data speeds increasing dramatically when I am using the external antenna.

Otherwise great ROM, love it...

Cheers

Another little question: I'm now using the stable release, if I would like to pass at a nightly I must take a full wipe or not?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Now that the market FC issue fixed(changed language to US) i'm getting another problem, when trying to download an app(doesnt matter which one) it says:

''Error downloading ''-enter app name here-''. There is insufficient space on the device''

what do we do?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kshting:
No need to full wipe at all. Just flash the nightly. However, you may wipe cache and dalvik cache if you like.

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Hi, I have no problem downloading apps from market. Clear data and clear cache of your market and see whether it will work after that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] beston94:
well..comparing this cyanmogenmod rom to the htc hd2.. this one isnt that good..as in it hasnt worked out all the bugs yet. For example the camera is fc....

i appreciate all your work. Thanks ablot but i dont think ill be using this rom any time soon :'(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kyleforge:

I finally managed to get rid of the camera fc by moving all my video files from the DCIM folder to another folder. Thanks to God_Lx for that tip :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zeromiles:
I don't even expect a bug free rom. Just want the market and camcorder sorted out. Antimn, Codeworkx and the other devs from team Hacksung deserve a give shout of praise. But this rom ain't there yet. Almost though.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bulawayo:
I guess everyone's experience is different... I followed installation instructions, did the double-flash when it bootlooped, and everything has been working fine. The zoom issue on video, which is well documented, is the only "bug" I see - but that's minor to me.

CM is really another world though... Takes a little getting used to coming from Revolution ROM, but there are some amazing features!

Great work guys, and thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ephraim:
I just want to post this. Guys i have no problems in BT, camera, videoplay back etc. For market just change to language to us english.. The only bug (for now) is sometimes browser is force closing. And when i charge the phone and go to setting and try to scroll further down (assuming you are already at the bottom) the icons or what ever you call it somewhat shakes or something, looks like static but it never happens if i remove it from the charger.. also sometimes the sgs2 splash screen sometimes shows static when turned on.. other than that it's all good.. cheers!!!

Hello what a great ROM, only problem I have is Bluetooth cuts off when the lock screen kicks in and display is off when using Doggcatcher native audio player. Anyone else have the same issue? Doesn't happen using Mixzing.

Great rom. No problems with can or Bluetooth. But front and back getting very hot while playing music. Mp3 using built in player not third party apps
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shahed26:
I did install it properly. This is how I installed it:

1) Flash Stock

2) press *2767*3855# to completely wipe device.

4) After reboot, place CM7 rom onto the int. SD

5) Flash a custom Kernel (ROOT)

6) Reboot recovery, wipe data, wipe system, incluing Dalvik, cache partition and then Flashed Rom CM7

The browser and camera gives me alot of FC's. Many people reported this issue here as well. Hope future updates will fix those :)

What i really meant was the browser and camera seems to be buggy, they give me too many FC's, and also the browser seems to lag alot as well. I always prefered the stock browser due GPU acceleration, so i will wait for the devs to fix those issues soon.

Overall the OS is stable, but not stable as those stocks or other custom roms. But i always prefered CM7 as my only custom rom and then cognition.

I was on cm7 nightly build 59 for the past 1 month or more, and it was stable enough for everyday use, even the browser and camera was all stable, but with this release couple of things has gone wrong, and even other people mentioned as well and am sure its going to be fixed soon

The camera and browser are the ones i mostly use on my phone, so they are like the deal breakers for me.

The new nightly releases are coming out at a very fast pace, so all i can say is that the devs are working very hard to fix those bugs as always, and thats the reason why am not switching to any other custom roms and have faith on the devs for a more overall stable release soon.

Going to try the new build 82, and see how that goes :)

Are you using auto brightness? Those settings change it to anything you desire, even putting 255 at the lowest and clicking SAVE & APPLY instantly changes the brightness to a higher setting.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

No market problems here. Using 3.1.5 however I replaced it in the GAPPS instead of updating it when i flashed CM the first time. This is after a complete wipe also:

format cache

format system

format data

wipe davalik

I always do those after every install and I haven't had any issue. This is the first time installing CM7 on my SGS2 but on the SGS and Nexus One i did the samethings and always had flawless runs.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

Think you might be right about that one. I have a cell tower about 100yrs from me so i normally dip down into the 59dBm range but now it's staying on -89 for me also.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] compunerd3:
If it is stuck at Samsung screen then flash Tom....once flash is complete flash straight away again without reboot. It should take longer second time and it should work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zhamrock:
There are few options where other people managed to fixed the camera/camcorder issue. Please try any of these options and let us know if it works.

1. Use 'Fix Permissions' from the Rom Manager

2. Download 'Camera Shortcut" app from the market.

3. Delete all pre CM7.1 videos from DCIM

#2 works for me.
