is there a link to the nightly kernels ? I may want to try Siyah kernel and swap back to CM7 stock kernel if battery drains too much on Siyah's
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lsj_87:
Is this rom stable to download ? or still have some issue with the hardware like camera and etc ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Come over from VR3 and its very stable and works very well! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lsj_87:
Really ?? which version are recommended to use ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Latest Nightly! Very quick, stable and run like a dream for what I use! Very happy.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darkneill:
Then I will flash lastest nightly tonight. Cm7 is my favorite
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
why wait til tonight :) Will be a new nightly out by then! whoop!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] doccubus:
I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question (I'm new to CM7) but is there any way to set system font to lowercase? help a girl out, por favor!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] NRGman:
Here's some good battery stats.. take into account it include 3 x flashing nightlys, I'm happy with it :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shotta35:
That's normal battery or the 2000mAH one?

4 Days with 37% left? Shiesser! :eek:

Then again guess I don't see much "Voice Calls" in there so guess you don't really use the phone as a phone per say ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] NRGman:

phone screen getting hot when using phone and when charging

I put the nightly # 96 (10-27) on my phone. (Had Villain Rom earlier, wiped, flashed, reflashed etc).

Things mostly seemed fine and I merrily installed a few apps from market, restored some Titanium backups etc until I noticed that the screen was unusually hot after only a very short duration of usage (5-10 minutes). I locked the screen and it cooled down. But later usage turned the screen hot again. The screen became hot with charging too, if the phone was kept powered up. I had to charge the battery after switching the phone off.

The bundled Camera app was not working either. It shows the objects in front of camera but none of the controls work and an FC/wait dialog shows up after a few seconds.

Neither of these issues went away after reboots and using the Fix Permission option (as some people had suggested for camera/camcorder problems).

Anyone else experiencing these issues or have a suggestion regarding resolving this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Wunderlich99:
Had those problems too. Deleting all old Videos fixed the camera fc. Either changing system language (and setting it back to english) or changing keyboard to custom keyboard and setting it back to stock fixed the phone getting hot bug.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lsj_87:
Working fine here, came from villain rom and does not have any issue yet. try install the rom 2 times before use
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0ph0id:
He hasnt even got data or wifi on. No wonder it lasted so long.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droilfade:
You can use the nitrality app from market to change the font SIZE! But I dunno anything about setting it to lower case! Or try ROM toolbox to change the font.

I think I've finally managed to convince my gf to drop the damn Iphone 3GS and get an SGS2.

Thinking of loading CM7 for her eyecandy. What do you guys think? How's the overall performance on this ROM? Battery drains?

It's either the CM7 nightlies or that MIUI, she loves theme-ing... -_-'
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] spaxx24:
Is it big difference between latest Night and the RC?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mnaveed:
why there is no "enter" button on the keyboard ????
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HazzBazz:
My phone is faster and more customisable, but battery life is slightly worse for me. It's less beautiful than touchwiz too (imho, I know a lot of people love vanilla). I would recommend it for people happy to put a bit of effort into their phone to get it just how they like it, but I know fewer girls happy to do that.

Kernel : Syiah vs default cm7 codeworx

Hello,

did anyone tried both? Does anyone has any advice between them?

I use the Syiah one, but think of using the cm7 one, as I run nighties on my phone.

TY.

I find Siyah better for battery, but I'm on the RC

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Freka:
I just downloaded nightly #98 and can say its amazing :). Heating issues are gone and no more force closures of any apps. Camcorder also works.

Thanks Cyanogenmod team!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrberg:
+1 loving it!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rockin_Zombie:
how is the audio volume through headphone doing now? Does it go above 50%?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] reidar.ostrem:
Look on your sd card, there may me a backup there. I believe cm is backing it up before flashing

Can someone explain to me why cm7 comes with the laggy adw launcher instead of the gingerbread launcher? I'm forced to use gingermod because I can't stand adw and all other market launchers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
does this work with any SGS II ??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AnDruid:
Thanks for the tip. I noticed the FAQ qusetion(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176411) related to clearing Gallery of Samsung camera stuff after my last post. Btw that thread should probably be linked from the first post here (will PM OP to). However I still had heating issues specially when I try using the phone while its charging (the screen heating was more pronounced than in a Samsung base ROM like Villain ROM)

I have also noticed the large number of fixes in #98 and some people saying that they found heating issues went after using it, so I am trying that out now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nightranger73:
It's related to source licensing problems if I'm not wrong

Edit: sorry, read it too quickly. I think stock gingerbread is GPLed too but it's a compromise between customizations and the above mentioned problem. ADW doesn't perform the best but it is configurable while gingerbread stock launcher is free to use but not configurable and the rest is configurable but not free to use (sources licensing)

My Rom always hang. HELP!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Plopz:
For us mere mortals that lack the ability to read minds, you'll have to share a little more information with us.

What phone model are you using, where is it hanging, is it a bootloop or does it hang on an app, what did you do to get it to this point of hanging, etc?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ihjk:
It hang in the main screen, nothing special, no respon:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aceofclubs:
I just spent a good amount of time checking out nightly #99 with no problems. Very impressed all round.

If you factory reset and clear cache as directed before installing you should be fine. No hanging.

plan to install cyanogen mod stable. Currently on Intratech's Frankenstein KI4 without root.

Can anyone suggest the best method to root & install clockworkmod recovery?

Confused since there seems to be so many methods. Chainfire's method, codeworkx's method, Heimdall option-in cm wiki, Intratech's method....

At least, from the wiki it is clear that codeworkx's kernel is suggested by the devs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SaneinOne:
Follow the instructions in the wiki. I'm usually using latest Speedmod kernel when flashing to CM though.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] harshs23:
Is there a way to flash CM7 as just going to recovery and wiping+installing the zip, does not work, never boots up. Is a custom kernel required? do we need to flash anything else than the cm7 + gapps. Please help

@saneinone, just had a look at the speedmod kernel info. Quite impressive n thanks for the tip. But going through the faq on the forum, there is a mention that speedmodkernel is not suitable for miui and cm roms.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] byobodybag:
Upon further research, speedmod doesn't work on cm7. So don't even think about it. SM+Batista is a helluva combo, battery lasts around 20-30hrs a charge depending on the usage.

Rooting etc, go for Chainfire's method and you should do fine. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arlojj:
Hey guys. So this was my first custom ROM attempt and happily it went flawlessly and I can't believe I didn't do it before. I LOVE this ROM... but I am having one issue.

When I was running stock, I never needed an SD card, it all just saved to the phone (ie: downloads, camera, etc), but now with CM 7.1.0 RC1, I can't use the camera, download files or run ROM manager because they all ask for an SD card to be inserted.

Is this normal? Is there a workaround to make storage work like it did with the stock ROM?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coudu:
go to cyanogenmod settings then applications and tick use internal storage then reboot ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arlojj:
Very weird. This option seems to be reversed on my phone.

"Use internal storage. Using removable card for apps and media" UNCHECKED works fine. Checking it makes it look for an SD card.

Very weird.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coudu:
you're right this as been changed a few nightlies ago and it is no more reverted now... if you like cm7 you should flash latest nightly there has been a lot of fixes since rc1

Are you running Codeworkx's kernel before flashing CM7.1?

Click this.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

I've gotten it to work by:

1. Wipe

2. Flash

3. Flash

4. Reboot

The most important thing is the double flash. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] escaflo:
I think I've a fix for the Cyanogenmod not booting issue.

1. Wipe Data/System

2. Wipe Cache

3. Install zip

4. Reboot.

Boot into the new CWM installed by the Cyanogenmod update.

1. Wipe Data/System

2. Wipe Cache

3. Install zip

4. Reboot

And this time it should work. Or at least it work fine for me. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] douglatins:
I think it will work when i flashed the first time it was instant, so i though it must be wrong, doing that took more time (normal).

camera always blackscreen when switching to video recorder:(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jasontschan:
That might be kernel related, I come from LeoMar's v2.7.1 with cf root kernel 4.2, and I just flashed cm7.1 once and it was sucessful.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GuitarXxX:
I had FCs on video camera on the first boot but I rebooted and now everything is working.

I only miss the FM radio!

I realised a bug that if you open the FM radio app, and connect your bluetooth headphone, when you close the fm app the audio of your S2 is not more transmitted to the bluetooth headphones.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
Try wiping cache and reboot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
Bln works on supported kernels. Don't think the one here supports it. USE the bln control app and test it out. The kernel from oxygen rom supports it. May be you can try it. I am not sure if it is available separately.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ghmail2:
before flashing i wiped everthing, /system /cache /data

why is that still happen:(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Yanardag:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ratcom:
for all those people struggling to flash this baby try going back to stock first or go Cognition S2 v1.5.1 then wipe and flash this ;) Thats how I got it to take.

Absolutely love this rom. Went through the installation yesterday.

Got FC on market, changed language to EN, problem solved

Got FC on video recorder, used the "fix permissions" in ROM Manager, problem solved

Apart from the above, I did not encounter any more issues. Sync'ed exchange email just fine, installed google apps, etc.

Very fast rom, I really like the customization level! Good work :D

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arlojj:
Thanks a lot! Is it as simple as putting one of the nightlies (say, cm_galaxys2_full-101.zip") onto my storage or SD card and then doing a recovery mode update?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coudu:
exactly put latest nightly on your internal storage reboot to recovery and choose install zip from sdcard then coose zip from sdcard and select the nightly zip (in recovery internal storage is called sdcard and external sdcard is called internal sdcard??... :D)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arlojj:
:D Worked like a charm. Wish I could give you more than just a couple of literal forum "Thanks".

Love this ROM!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eitama:
Scratch that, I just found out there is a CM7 thread in SGS2 Q&A, i'll post there.

To OP, You should add a reference to the Q&A thread in the 1st post, would save some mess like the one I'm going now.

Installed CM7 yesterday, it's my 1st attempt at CM in general.

1st I must say I am very much impressed. Everything just works. (Installed Nightly).

I do have a few questions left :

1. Battery doesn't seem to last much. Any good kernel to counter this?

2. USB Debugging driver! Before CM7 I was on KI3, and when connecting the phone via USB with usb debugging on, I could use adb shell freely.

After installing CM7 and connecting, it is looking for a "Galaxy S2" Driver - and fails.

How can I solve this?

:) Cheers.

Hi guys, i tried searching but i'm looking for something more updated. I have never used this rom before and come from normal roms like Androidmeda etc etc. All i want to know is is the battery life on this rom better than those modified stock sammy roms and in terms of camera, video so on and so forth are they all working and good? Sorry for my ignorance i'm a total noob..

Why can't you get into the recovery mode? Turn the phone off, press volume up + home button + on/off key and keep then pressed until you are in the recovery. You'll properly see the galaxy SII logo twice.

When you really can't get into the recovery menu you can always flash a rom in the download mode by using odin.
