I don't understand why so many people are having so much trouble.

All I did comeing from VillainROM was

1. Titanium Backup user apps + data

2. Download CM7 and GApps

3. Reboot to recovery

4. Nandroid backup

5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache

6. Flash CM7 and Gapps

7. Reboot

8. Restore User apps + data

No force closes since.

I don't really like the hotmail app and I also don't receive facebook notifications in push.

In the other hand I tried with the "stock" email app but I just can put every 15mins the check frequency.. how can I have push and receive facebook messages in push?

A big improvement on the last time I used it (probably about 6-7 weeks ago ) so big props to the developers.

However, it still doesn't offer enough or any advantage over a good stock build in my view and as such I continue to question the excitement this thing seems to generate. I have gone back to LeoMar -- the main reasons are the camera and video quality, despite being 8mpx and 1080p respectively, simply can't compare to builds based on stock and there are still issues with earphone volume when listening to music or watching videos. Also, I still don't find it as smooth and as stable as stock.

+1. Camera video recordings lack the the quality of stock, havent compared a jpeg yet with the stock so cant say anything about that yet.

I find the rom smooth, but stable wise its not there yet.

EDIT:

Am going to add these tweaks to "Build.prop" file and test to see any improvements to video/picture quality.

The best thing I feel about SGS-II is the video/photo clarity. I am very thankful for the developers who has done enormous work for CM7 but I would like to ask them if they can have a look at the CAM/Video Clarity since SGS-II is undoubtedly the best device available in the market and making it better in terms of video/pic performance would be awesome.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shahed26:
+1, I tried copying the stock camera.apk to cm7 but it will FC, because the video/pic quality is not the best compare to stock. Hope the devs look into this matter and give us the quality of the stock camera or hopefully even better
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shotta35:
Well that was stupid, obviously Samsung stuff wont work on on AOSP ROMs, they don't have any of the custom Samsung stuff in it so the apps or anything wont work. I thought this was known?

Anyways, i just took a picture with the camera and maybe because i'm not a cam buff, it looks pretty good to me in inside lighting. It's not any worse than previous pics that I have in the same camera folder.

Bluetooth disconnects randomly

Hi,

my bluetooth connection to an Audi A4 (with BNS 5 from 2007) randomly disconnects and reconnects (around 1 to 2 minutes). I had a similar problem with my HTC Magic some time ago... connection to another handsfree in another car is working perfect.

Stock and stock based ROMs work flawlessly.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0ph0id:
I think you'll need to attach a logcat unless you expect the devs to pop out and buy an Audi A4 to test...

lol i love the comments ..here.. i am quite happy with the current nightly 82 as we move on say in 2 or 3 weeks ICS is coming looking forward to it ,so CM 9 is what i am most intrested in ..for now 7.1 for gs2 is enough for me..thanx to all the developers and ppl involved with CM gr8 work guys!

almost forgot is there a call recording mod for CM7.1 ? link anyone thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] atinm:
Known bug that I am working on. Bluetooth is letting the phone go into deep sleep when it shouldn't, thereby breaking the connection.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] God_Lx:
Dunno if the OP is against this but would surely solve alot of the complaints if someone added that we need to do 2 things after flashing:

1: Change language from HD English to something else (This solves the Market FC's)

2: Move all the videos you have in DCIM folder anywhere else on your internal storage (This fixes Camcorder FC's)

And again thanks all the CM devs for the awesome work on this and other devices you guys make using an Android device a hell more pleasant than most manufacturers!

What's the differences/similarities between MIUI and CM7 and advantages/disadvantages of one over other...I currently run MIUI but would like to try cm7....thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dark Emotion:
It does not work because it is not Samsung's official rom... This is CM
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DominionZA:
I run CM7 and just downloaded MIUI to try out, so this question relevant to me too :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MrPhilo:
Nothing difference.

MIUI is based on CM7.

But CM7 is more like a typical custom rom you'll see with different features.

Whereas MIUI is to target people who want similar style to iPhone but with alot more customisation etc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wonderwout:
Settings/ CyanogenMod settings/ Interface/ Status bar tweaks/ Status bar brightness :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petzku:
Yes, with

Font Changer

Then just download any TTF fonts to /mnt/sdcard/.fontchanger and launch the app to change fonts. EASY PEASY :)

Here is mine, Ubuntu Light..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DominionZA:
Thanks man.

I spent the last hour playing with MIUI but lost root. Not near my notebook to root again so rolled back to my CM7 backup for now.

Was very impressed tough.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xyzulu:
The nightlies have fixed up some of the bugs in the RC 1 from my experience.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
This is a set point to file bugs against, nightlys are where development rolls on.

Nightly's are where new code goes.

Also the newer nightlys have a better kernel etc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] indigotheory:
Ok so better to keep with the nightlies!

crashes is it a known issue?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coolzy:
CM7 crashing

I followed all the instructions for install...wipe cache, factory reset, install

i fixed permissions, (which crashed near the end) several times

i couldnt get the camera to work, it kept saying SD card full, when it is no where near full, i tried restarting a few times too

market crashed, force close, almost every time i tried to use it

the ROM looks awesome and once its stable, i wont wait to try it again.

i had to restore my old rom for now.....:(

ill be back
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Freka:
Unfortunately because of the market closes, some bluetooth issues and overheating I had to go back to my old rom :(. I hope they fix the bugs soon as I would love to come back!

Thanks to the devs for all the hard work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] notoriouspk:
coolzy try flashing the rom twice back to back it fixes a lot of fC issues...ya I know it sounds stupid but it works ...I had fc issues but not anymore except video crashes....nightly 82 no more heating issues I bought sg2 euro version ..not Canadian though.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rvenes:
What clockworkmod recovery should i use?

I had 2 files in my Samsung G2 folder on my pc... keep a lot of files.

GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.0.2.zip

recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-galaxys2.zip

I can not boot into the recovery from room manager, but when i press vol up + home + power it pops into recovery.

I think i use the 4.0.0.2 now.

And i think i used ODIN to flash it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wslfung:
depends, since untested/less tested code will go into nightlies as well, it tends to be less stable. If you're looking for an everyday rom, stay with stable.

If you're an adventurous person, who don't mind a few things broken, and don't know mind reporting problems, then nightlies are for you.

Just don't expect the nightlies to have everything working. Sometimes things break, accept it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] NightsSPIDER:
hi sorry for the question:

i really love the ROM , but i liked a lot the stock dialer because of "typping name on keypad would preview contacts" and made it easy to find who you wanted to call. would you have something like that in near future? i moved from a nightlie to another rom waiting for this release.

im downloading

will i have to flash a nightlie first and then the 7.1 or can i go straight to it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xyzulu:
I don't think so.. simply use another dialer, like Touchpal etc.

Flashed 7.1 from one of the 09/10 nightly or so. Happy out, no probs so far. Battery life is reasonable, best has been 2 days so far and i havent calibrated the battery for CM7 yet.

One or two FCs with some apps but prolly due to not doing a full wipe. Meh.

Props on the BT working too. Nice to have it in the car now.

firstly many thanks again for your hard work...anyway i use the nightlies instead of flashing the stable one....managed to get everything working no probs..no problem with market anymore or have any FC...home button got fixed...yayyy:D the one thing that now has put me off is the friggin browser.....to laggy...i know stock browser is not the best for some but for me is a keeper i really like it......anyone know a browser that comes close to the stock one please or do we know if they are going to try and accelarate the speed on a new version of the nightly please?

''Unable to start LBE security service. If this is the first time you read this message, please try to reboot your phone.....''

every time. I really need LBE and feel naked without it! Any suggestions guys??

2. I changed kernels to the Sparkz kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299830

as suggested by another member, to get BLN support but I'm finding that my standby drain is much higher than with the stock kernel. Does anyone have link for the stock kernel or can they post it here if that's possible?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
Did you manage to get all files needed to sdcard before? Like cm7 ? Try to get into cwm and flash that . Or flash an rom from odin with cwm preloaded so you could go from there..i think the cwm version for cm7 gets installed automatically when you flash the Rom...

Think he is having problem flashing the kernel to get cwm actually, so he is not that far yet .

Follow this:

1) Flash Stock

2) press *2767*3855# to completely wipe device. (Before proceding, make sure to backup all your Int sdcard's stuff as it will wipe your sdcard as well)

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

5) Flash a custom Kernel (ROOT)

6) Reboot into recovery, wipe data, wipe system, incluing Dalvik, cache partition and then Flash Rom CM7 twice from recovery

Note that in BOLD. Must flash CM7 twice, its some sort of known bug!

- Battery drain

- No touch to focus in the camera
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] luminus:
CM7 is running here pretty good ( market solved with switching language etc).

No forced closes and so on, fast and stable.

But my phone gets very hot and battery drains pretty fast, when i look at battery stats then "Media" is running and use a lot of amount of my battery and makes CPU running all the time at full speed, thats why it get very hot.

I have this on two SGS II's.

Does anybody has a clue what's causing this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shr33kant:
Excellent work team Hacksung!

Hi all, I would just like to report that the poweramp (and similar music players that were malfunctioning) bluetooth issue where music would stop playing after screen timeout is now fixed with the latest nightly, woohoo! Now I don't have to use Mixzing!

P.S. I'm not experiencing any strange battery drain, maybe some apps misbehaving in the background?

Edit: I just tested if the phone would go into deep sleep and it won't while bluetooth is turned on, possibly the cause for the battery drain.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wonderwout:
I think the issue is the CWM recovery version you use to flash this ROM. Flash ROM (includes kernel and recovery) once, reboot back in recovery and you will see it is an other version of CWM. Flash ROM again using this version and success is more likely.

Then i downloaded "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86" and installed it after i removed all Drivers again. Still no connection.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AndreiLux:
Hello, in regards of the Android OS bug I have been testing out the behavior of the devices and different kernels for a while now, and especially since that .14 patch changed the behavior of the issue I'd like to add some feedback here too. As mentioned in my other thread, the issue was that suspend and events/0 would keep a 100% load during idle periods and those were counted into the Android OS package in the battery stats. .14 patch caused these to disappear, or at least what seems to be as to not to register the issue at hand anymore, and thus also lowering the AOS%. The other effect was the CPU states showing a predictable pattern, and of course the battery drain. I've been testing this for a bit and those two effects still happen regardless of .14 patching which was supposed to fix it. Been using #82 and #83 nightlies, stock, nothing much added other than chat apps to have background data activity in idle mode to trigger the effect (I've ruled out the apps were the cause). That's all, more detailed arguments in that thread as I don't want to derail this one.
