Ok, I don't want to start a flame war in the thread but don't criticize me and say " I call bogus " when you obviously lack the technical knowledge on hardware. Coming from multiple other devices using the same nand chip technology type, it certainly can make a difference wiping more than once.

Going by your logic in what you stated " It seems not all the system files get written when you flash only once ", its the exact same principle in reverse where files may or may not be left on the surface of the read sectors. ( you contradicted yourself ). You do understand that when you quick format a partiton, the data lies on the disk still right? All our devices do is the equivalant of a "quick format" which only changes the allocation table ( leaving any and all data technically in place ). Our devices do not write 0's to every sector of the disk. If they did, I wouldn't say to wipe multiple times. ( this would also wear out the nand module faster ).

I'm no developer / programmer although I dabble a bit and do build binaries in Linux from source, but I AM a hardware guy. The devs you consulted with likely are guys who are using someone else's base and repackaging launchers/apps/themes. Not building their os / kernels from source. This doesn't make them experts on the matter.

Here is some good read up information for you so you will be more informed :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting

http://www.eeherald.com/section/design-guide/esmod16.html

PS

Just another FYI, I have in the past formatted my system partition on other android devices only once , and upon flashing a new custom rom, the original /system/app files stuck ....meaning all of the OEM stuff persisted into the custom ROM which had them stripped ( Kyocera Zio w/ Spz0's OpenZio ROM ). I then went back, formatted each partition multiple times and used the SAME cwm zip , reinstalled and guess what, all was as it should have been ( system apps were gone from the original ROM )

Just more food for thought ;-)

If you can provide actual data that shows only one wipe can and will remove all data, please post it and I will humbly hang my head in shame and apologize.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ericqt:
both of you are right. wipe more times make it cleaner. flash more times make it stick better. now can we get back to the bus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
Is it really better to flash this CM7 multiple times? Just flash over itself a few times?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
Cm7 uses a different file system. For some reason it hiccups and doesnt always get all the files written. I don't know why, but I know with my last gs2 you had to flash it twice for a flawless install. Once you did there were no issues except the normal cm7 bugs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
Right I get that but can you be more specific? Does it require a wipe between flashes? Or just flash it over itself?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Just curious and not being a smartass..... what different filesystem are you referring to ? My understanding is CM7 can be written to either ext3 or ext4, both of which are standard filesystems for Linux ( which is what android is technically ). The OS itself can be installed to either ( just like taking a gentoo / debian install and formatting the drive as either prior to install or choosing fat32/ntfs for a windows install before the disk writes to the storage ). I'm still new to android and picking things up rather quick...... but just checking to make sure CM7 doesn't use / format as a proprietary file system automatically.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
I think he meant different file structure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Ah.... I read too literal :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
I was two seconds from installing until I saw no google music streaming.

The rom looks EXCELLENT though. I'm excited to see people's battery life on this :D .

Thanks for the hardwork dude. +1

Click flash clockworkmod recovery and select our phone and it will update you to the newest version of recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I see it now! Thank you very much :D Does that mean that when you say Recovery Required: 3.0.2.7, it should 5.0.2.7? That seems to be the latest version of CWM for our phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
There is Google Music Streaming you just need wifi, thats all part of the same issue with call audio, Once I get a solid Kernel and look more closer at the audio libs I should have it fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
Yes sir, I will always put in that spot the latest recovery, thanks for reading the OP by the way, it says a lot. Most people dont. Am I saying 3.0.2.6 wont work no, It should, I just always put the latest of everything as what you need. keeps everybody on the same page and everybody with the newest stuff. Thanks again.

This my issue. My account is acting weird, it says something on my phone then say something else from T-Mobile website. But I've spoken to them and they saying whatever is on their side is correct.. anyway, sorry Royalknight for posting.

...finally CM7..

quick question, for upcoming update...will there full wipe or just wipe cache and flash rom? I'm tired of reinstall app and customize my phone again. :D

Welcome and thanks for after Christmas present :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Sorry but I have to ask. Did you guys actually build this from source or did you use the existing cm7 build as a base?

Thank you guys for coming into this section. You guys seem very positive and It seems you have good communication and lack of bad attitudes when you respond to ppls questions. Seems to be just what we needed. Thanks again,.and I hope your work continues to develop well here.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Eh. Never looked in that thread. But I'm glad to see more Dev activity here. Hopefully this build will play nicer with miui :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
Everything was running decently (had a few random slowdown) until I got a force reboot and then android.acore started force closing. I'm doing another full wipe and re-flash then I'll fix permissions (though its never actually fixed anything for me). I'll repost if I have more issues with a logcat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Interesting hopefully you get that seres out, if not for sure grab a log cat. Of course Royal will be the doctor. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Most of the bugs have to do with the kernel and as soon as we can get tdj a device and/or him to dig into it, we'll most likely see some results
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Okay, so I made a backup of all of my applications in Juggernaut 4.1, in anticipation of this ROM release!

I had this issue with the other build for CM7, in which TB did not recognize my backup, as I think it went to the internal storage and not my 32GB SD Card.

Is it possible that this issue (USB connection of SDcard needs to be fixed - Temp fix is use mount sdcard in recovery/use Auto Mount SD app or do not switch to internal memory in CM settings, use the sdcard (which is done by default).) is preventing me from accessing the internal SD from Root Explorer to copy/paste to my External SD?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
You really think all the audio issues are kernel related? I wish you guys knew more about slayher. If it was as simple as that he would have fixed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hoezack:
Nice!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XAviierG:
Da_G said audio issue is ROM not kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XAviierG:
Oh yeah btw. Da_G kernel is butter with this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
Ahhh I was ready to flash today but now I'm waiting because I want to know if it really makes a difference to flash it more than once, and how to do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
Wipe all three and system. Flash once. While still in recovery wipe both caches, and install Rom again. Do not wipe system the second time. Then reboot. That's it

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
Installed tonight and it's running pretty well. Battery seems to be draining fast but I'll give it a few cycles before I judge it. Google music doesn't work over 4g as you stated.

Using Sonny Sekhon ICS theme.

Ty for a great rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
Having trouble with video playback being choppy and not syncing with the audio. I have had this with cm7 as well as miui with most my phones. Any fix? Have tried different players no help. Am trying to play movies off my SD card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DinkinFlicka:
Been running this for a few days now and everything's been great!

I've run into a few MINOR bugs.

1). Sometimes, when I select an image in the gallery, the image that pops up is different than the thumbnail. This doesn't happen always, however.

2). I completely discharged my battery and after I restarted it the next morning, the Menu, Home, Back, and Search buttons lit up and stayed lit up whenever the screen was on. Sometimes, they would randomly turn off, but if I locked and unlocked the screen, they would light up again. After I rebooted the phone, this issue went away.

3). I haven't seen the wonky viewfinder on the camera from the unlock method, but if I switch from camera to camcorder back to camera, the viewfinder gets all jumbled and can only be fixed by entering and exiting the gallery.

Other than that, this works really well for me! Can't wait to see what else you've got in store!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
I installed Da G's skyrocket CM7 kernel on this and it's running VERY well and VERY fast. Also, google music is now working over 4g. Not sure if the kernel fixed that or not.

Auto-rotation is still upside down though so I had to force it to allow 0 degrees only and then force landscape mode in browser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
Soon hopefully, I know that doesnt really help. But I need to get things in order around my house before the baby comes. lol :rolleyes:

Like I said at the very beginning of this thread (and got criticized for by the skeptics and the people who think they know it all) after I released it, When we get a good Kernel that is up to date and properly put together (not saying that Mr x does bad work, but it is an old build)this rom will work propery and will be faster and smoother then it is now. You flashing this Skyrocket kernel proves this. Anyways Kernels are the life blood to roms, they can and will usually fix a lot of issues as long as they are built right and include the proper things. Can you link me to this kernel and maybe I will use it for the update. Thanks Knickfan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
Good luck take ur time...I'm just really excited...I no u have a life outside development :) good luck with the soon to be here baby lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Hey knickfan,

If you enable 0 and 90, you can get it to auto rotate semi properly. To rotate landscape, turn the phone counter clockwise. To go back to portrait turn it back clockwise back to the other landscape orientation. It will stick back in portrait mode until you rotate back counter clockwise again :-) Not a fix but an easy workaround :-D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Simer03:
Can we use Da_Gs cm7 kernel for the Skyrocket with this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DinkinFlicka:
On the subject of kernels, has anyone used the Faux kernel with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rUsTyRuSs:
Yes, but rotation is off.

Faux is based on stock twiz and isn't compatible with CM based roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
It runs great and seemed to fix some issues for me but auto rotation is the opposite of what it should be.

RoyalKnight, would it be possible to make the dialer a T9 dialer or is that considered bloat?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
I do not consider that bloatware, the problem with Cyan builds as far as I remember they have never had T9. So I have never included it, Something else I can look into and see what it would take. Thanks again bro for the great input.

Hey, darkside team, i want to personally thank you for doing awesome work for these devices (plural because of the skyrocket>tmo dual compatibility) after looking through your changes to slayher's stock build i realized you (or the team in general) like your rom exactly as i do lol, from removing the 3d gallery and using quickpic to zipaligning and using scripts to improve performance, this rom has been my daily driver since before it came out in my head because i already had my cm7 setup exactly like this (except of course the behind the scenes optimizations and enhancements that are beyond my experience) showing people that android doesnt have to run like crap like motorola phones have (for me) or look like crap like ANYTHING touchwiz is something i think needs to happen more often and your team has done just this on a much grander scale than i have been able to personally
