CyanogenMod 7 (w/ Gingerbread 2.3.7) for Galaxy SII
The only rule of CyanogenMod: you don't ask for ETAs. You install, your warranty is void.
Warning : Not for new users, flash this build only if you know what you are doing !!!
FAQ (Please Read!!)
What is CyanogenMod (by mad-murdock)?
CyanogenMod is the only open source rom, that runs on 40+ different devices. we got around 45 devs (people who really write code and tweak things to make it work better - in contrast to cooks, who only use winzip to exchange this vs. that binary thingie) constantly making cyanogenmod better.
as background, you might wanna know, that google usually releases the sourcecode to their products (where honeycomb is the first exception, but thats another matter, ICS will be open source again). but when google releases their source code, you cannot compile it for ANY phone and it runs on it. thats the first part, we jump it - make it compatible with all the phones we support.
once it basicly runs, its time for what we call "cm extras" - we modify a lot on the gui and the system to make it run better. some stuff you as a user will never see involving tweaking libs and kernels, and some stuff you as a user will see a lot, like including theme manager, dsp manager, cm settings (cm settings are about as huge as the normal settings are). those settings range from simple "dont display clock in status bar" to complex profiles (as known from old nokia phones) or remapping of some keys (long press home, remapp search button behavior)
its way to much to list it all here, but i can assure you, cm is fast, usually stable on most devices and VERY VERY customizable - both in grafical ways as also in behavior way.

Q: How do I install this?
A:
Latest version: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2 (for when nightlies are working normally)
Check the md5sum if you want to be sure that the download worked (different OSes have different programs that do md5, on ubuntu it is md5sum that you run against the zip you download and compare to the md5sum number shown on the download website). ROMManager does this automatically for ROMs you download via ROMManager.
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S2 (or coming from another ROM)?
Only for the International version of the Galaxy S2, US versions like the AT&T have their own device specific builds.
Note: sometimes you need to flash twice back to back without a reboot in the middle. The install should take a little time, if it happens very quickly, flash again.
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.
- Upgrading from earlier CM7?
ROM Manager method:
Install ROMManager Premium.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Samsung Galaxy S2.
Choose Download ROMs.
Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.
Check the Google Apps addon.
Check Backup current ROM!
Check wipe cache, dalvik cache.
Let ROMManager finish the installation.
Clockwork Mod method:
Download and push the ROM zip file to the sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Install the ROM zip from sdcard (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)
There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps. After flashing the rom, don't forget to flash Google Addon package if you want it. ROM Manager will allow you to flash it if you just go into it and after flashing the ClockworkMod recovery for Samsung Galaxy S2, choose Download ROMs, and pick Google Apps. Or download and push the gapps zip for CM7 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps to the sdcard and flash it via ClockworkMod recovery.
- Going to another ROM from CM7?
You can go back and forth freely between CM7 and other ROMs via ROM Manager or ClockworkMod recovery as the file systems are the same and nandroid backup/restore works to go between ROMs.
Q: What are the known issues?
A: Issues that I can remember:
- Video playback - some formats are not recognized, use an alternative app for video playback
- Camera - some modes don't work
- TVout, MHL
- FMRadio
- Issues when using the 2G/3G-Switch
- Volume issues (some report too high, others too low)
Q: Where do I see the Changelogs?
A: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2 - this shows all the
changes that have gone into a nightly, including anything that is device specific to Galaxy S2 and anything that has gone into common code that is also included on Galaxy S2. If you see another device sometimes in the Galaxy S2 changelog, it is because the changes were done to common code and the repository is also included on the Galaxy S2.
Q: Can I flash over a previous version of CM7?
A: If updating from an already CM7 running SGSII phone, just flash the latest update zip file as it contains all the fixes from previous updates.
Q: I just installed and I don't see the Marketplace, cannot see GMail, cannot sync Contacts.
Q: I just installed and I don't see any Google Apps.
A: You need to install the Google apps. They are available in ROMManager. ROMManager also asks you if you want to install the Google Apps addon when you install via ROMManager.
Q: My phone is running too hot, my phone is not going into deep sleep
A: Try to isolate which application is using too much CPU. The first thing to try is to remove your media (video, music etc) files. Files recorded using Samsung camera, but other files as well, can frequently cause the stock Media Scanner to fail and go into an infinite loop. Then try to isolate which files are causing problems, and report them to us. If it isn't media, then it is some other application. Try to remove that application if it is a third-party application (and report a bug to them).
Q: I cannot find my media files that are on my external sd card
A: Look under /mnt/emmc as that is where CM7 mounts the external sd card as opposed to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd that Samsung ROMs use.
Q: Can I run Samsung Applications like Kies, Phone, Email, AllShare?
A: No. Any applications that use special calls into the Samsung TouchWiz framework will not work.
Q: I restored from Titanium Backup but my applications are not working
A: Do not restore system data, only restore application+user data. CM7 uses new system data and if you restore on top of it, things will not work.
Q: Your notification toggles are different than mine, how can I change them?
A: Go into Settings, CyanogenMod Settings, Interface, Notification power widget, Widget buttons
Q: My Notification bar Sound widget does not toggle through the options.
A: Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Interface > Notification Power Widgets > Widget Buttons > Sound Modes and set the modes you want it to toggle through.
Q: I really miss the accurate battery mods, can I flash these?
A: No, but you can go into Settings, CyanogenMod Settings, Interface, Status bar tweaks, "Battery percentage"
Q: Where can I get themes for this?
A: A quick search for "theme engine" on the market will produce a number of results, but there are some in the general Android Themes section
Q: Can I use the video player/music player/contacts/phone/launcher from a Samsung ROM?
A: No, anything hooking into Samsung's framework will not work on this ROM, there are plenty of alternatives in the market.
Q: Where can I get the Nexus S drivers?
A: Download and install the Android SDK here then download "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"
Once downloaded, right click on "Computer", "Manage", "Device Manager", "Nexus S", "Update Driver Software", and point it to wherever you installed the SDK
Q: How do I go back to a Samsung stock ROM?
A: Just use ClockworkMod or ROM Manager backup/restore facility to go back and forth between stock (or any other ROM) and CM7.
Q: Can I use ROM Manager to install or back up this ROM?
A: Yes.
Q: Why do I not see the nightlies in ROM Manager?
A: Nightly builds are only visible in the premium version of ROM Manager. Nightly builds should up in ROM Manager when the CyanogenMod buildbot builds the nightly successfully. Every new device needs to also get added to the ROM Manager manifest before it is available. But, the same files are also available at http://download.cyanogenmod.com when the buildbot successfully builds a nightly.
Q: Why can't I play .avi or .mkv files? They worked fine with Samsung's ROM.
A: Due to codec licensing issues, this can't be provided out of the box. Several apps from the marketplace should be able to replicate this feature (such as RockPlayer). We will also try to put these enhancements into CM7 ourselves.
Q: I encountered a bug, how do I find out if it's known and where can I report it?
A: Try to get the logcat output and last_kmsg to your report by:
Code:
desktop$ adb logcat > logcat.txt
desktop$ adb shell
# cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg (only if you had crash/reboot)
# dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
# exit
desktop$ adb pull /sdcard/last_kmsg .
desktop$ adb pull /sdcard/dmesg.txt .
Attach the logcat.txt and last_kmsg files to the bug report. Of course, you need to have the android SDK installed to do this.
Hi !
Why we don't see Cyanogen Builds in ROM Manager Premium ?
Thanks & sorry for my bad English.
Nice Q&A here. This is a MUST READ before flashing CM7
Q: Why do I not see the nightlies in ROM Manager?

Firstly, I love the first release of CM for the S2....very quick.
I have successfully replaced the samsung apps I liked, and i have gapps installed. One question is, now when I go into the market on my PC it says I have no Android devices to send the apps too.
On the S2, the market is fine.
any ideas?
I can see in Rom managet premium only cognition and darks rom. Is it normal? Anyone else witht the same stats?

Hello,
Is there any way I can increase vibration intensity? It is fine when I reboot it but after a minute the vibration becomes very weak to the point where I can barely feel it. (When typing and pressing "menu" or "back button" etc

It's a known issue of this ROM.
There is nothing to do for this time.
Cyanogen #1 !
Issue gonna be FIX, by next build's
i just have one question, someone said they used kg1 modem does that actually stay or would cm7 just overwrite it anyway?
since im too noob to post in development section i want to thank you all at teamhacksung for this
Also...why was the stock camera app replaced with one that is worse? (Camcorder is worse.) Its a great rom. But can someone explain this to me?

What is CyanogenMod (in less terse form - by mad-murdock)?
since i am a bit idle right now, i try to answer this.
cyanogenmod is the only open source rom, that runs on 40+ different devices. we got around 45 devs (people who really write code and tweak things to make it work better - in contrast to cooks, who only use winzip to exchange this vs. that binary thingie) constantly making cyanogenmod better.
as background, you might wanna know, that google usually releases the sourcecode to their products (where honeycomb is the first exception, but thats another matter, ICS will be open source again). but when google releases their source code, you cannot compile it for ANY phone and it runs on it. thats the first part, we jump it - make it compatible with all the phones we support.
once it basicly runs, its time for what we call "cm extras" - we modify a lot on the gui and the system to make it run better. some stuff you as a user will never see involving tweaking libs and kernels, and some stuff you as a user will see a lot, like including theme manager, dsp manager, cm settings (cm settings are about as huge as the normal settings are). those settings range from simple "dont display clock in status bar" to complex profiles (as known from old nokia phones) or remapping of some keys (long press home, remapp search button behavior)
its way to much to list it all here, but i can assure you, cm is fast, usually stable on most devices and VERY VERY customizable - both in grafical ways as also in behavior way.

Q: How do I install this?
A:
Latest version:
Temporarily while buildbot is down:
You can get it from ROM Manager (look for teamhacksung builds for Galaxy SII AT&T) or

Codeworkx just put up a test build (http://codeworkx.de/download/galaxys2att/cm7-galaxys2att-KANG.zip) - it should work, but right now none of us has an AT&T SGS2, so need someone else to try it. Install it via ClockworkMod recovery as explained in the second post.

Tried MIUI and CM7...
Obvious bugs are the back button not working.
But the major one is I can't hear anyone on a call and they can't hear me. Complete silence...both MIUI and CM7. Kernel issue? Known issue?
My order is in, should be seeing my Galaxy S II very soon, stoked!
I'll be testing just about everything pushed out once its here, I'll be reporting back as much as possible can't wait!

I didn't even know there was a MIUI for AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII yet. As far as no sound - we haven't been able to test anything ourselves as we don't have a device to test on yet (maybe in a couple of days). The code itself hasn't changed much, but it is possible you're seeing something valid that we'll have to fix.

Hello to all as it is my first post here.
I loaded CyanogenMod last stable and after that last nightly. When i was installing ggaps all went ok but i havent seen apps in menu. I tried that few times on both stable and nightly.
I was looking for any similar information and only what i have found was what i was doing. dl ggap put them on sd go to cwm and install zip.
Now i went back to stock but I would like to try CM any one can help me?
If additional information will be needed I will postem here.
all aps has been dl form cm page.
Mentos
Use Rom Manager (from the market) to download and install gapps and you should get the most up to date, maybe that was the problem?
Thanks that solved problem.
My friend got an AT&T SGS2 last night, and I helped her put CM7 (stable - not a nightly) onto her phone. She wanted to send me a screenshot of a theme she installed, but everytime she tries to take a screenshot she gets the following error:
error: /mnt/sdcard/tmpshot.bmp (permission denied)
Screenshot is saved at null
I did a few searches on XDA and Google, but couldn't find anything related to the SGS2. Could someone shed some light onto this for me?
First I would recommend AT LEAST going to the newest nightly that CM7 OFFICIALLY put out #181 as it is better than the rc1 which did not have as many fixes in it anyways. Or I ACTUALLY would recommend using the newest nightly from https://s3.amazonaws.com/cyanogenmodbuild.s3.mortimer.me.uk/index.html which is EVEN BETTER with more fixes than #181 and definatelly better than rc1.
Second she can just hold down the power button and when the onscreen popup comes up choose screenshot. This MAY have worked on rc1 but that is a VERY OLD release and I cannot remember if it even had scrrenshot on the power menu screen. The link I put is from Sam3000 and he is just building from source without adding/deleting anything that the CM TEAM is fixing.

I think I'm misunderstanding something. The latest official nightly I see for the ATT SGS2 is Nightly 20 which can be found here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=galaxys2att
You said that the latest is 181?
I checked ou the Unofficial nightlies page you linked and had a few questions about those.
1. Are they safe to flash right over the stable 7.1 official CM7 release with a cache and dalvik wipe? Or do you have to wipe the entire phone?
2. Is there a specific unofficial nightly that you recommend? I know from running nightlies on my Atrix that some are amazingly stable and snappy, while others are most definately not. I'd like my friend to have a smooth experience on her phone. She's not tech savvy, and this is her first Android device. I'd like her to have the best experience possible, which is why I had her flash the stable instead of a nightly to begin with.
Also, I did more research into the error with screenshots. The Droid Incredible had the same issue which could be fixed by changing the permissions on some files in /system. I still can't find anything SGS2 related with the error though. So again, if anyone has any info for me about it I'd appreciate it. If its between running a line or two in ADB and experiencing with flashing various nightlies, I think I'd rather stick with the simple fix.
Thanks in advance!
You can flash the nightlies right over stable CM7 with just wiping Dalvik and cache. Also like RockRatt mentioned.. The newer nightlies are far better than the "stable" that was put out. I would just recommend grabbing one of the latest from sam3000's thread.
Not sure about the screenshot error. Try updating to a nightly and see if the problem is still present.

Yes #20 was the last OFFICIAL nightly for the SGS2 sorry about that. I am still keeping up with my old captivate flashing CM7 and CM9 on it and its last OFFICIAL CM7 was #181 so sorry about the confusion.
I would go with the newest from the link I provided from Sam3000's site. I use it for mine and the wife and ONLY update hers knce I know it is stable enough so she doesnt have any issues either. So I would say go for his newest that came out on 02-15-2012 and it should be totally stable for her. I only ever wipe Dalvich Cache between builds but for you updating hers I would suggest to flash the newest unofficial nightly, then before rebooting flashing it a second time for good measure. This way only wiping Dalvich all her apps and everything else will still be there.
OR if you have any issues and or want to make sure just do a titanium backup of all her apps. Then wipe data/factory reset (will wipe out any and all parts of what she already had), then flash the newesr nightly twice before rebooting, then flash gapps before rebooting, then boot it up, then reinstall any apps from the market needed, then open tibu and restore USER APPS ONLY, She wont have any saved data for the apps this way but your starting her off clean again.

Well I had my friend install the nightly from the 15th like was suggested.
Sure enough, she still can't take screen shots, though this time it is a different error. It says....
Media Unmounted
Unable to save Screenshot: mBitmap = null
It appears CM7's default install requires that you have an SDCard in order to take screenshots, pictures, videos, or recieve text messages with pictures or videos. This is "fixed" by going into...
Settings > Cyanogenmod > Applications > Check off "Use Internal Storage".
After a reboot, your internal memory will be mounted as /mnt/sdcard instead of /mnt/emmc. This fixes the issue in the latest nightly. It should be noted though that I had her try this on the stable 7.1 release, and she was still unable to take screenshots.
Everything is fine now. I am a bit disappointed that CM ships "broken" to an average user if they don't have an SDCard. Some users (like me) know how to fix it right away. Your average user would have no clue. My friend Erika (above average user) is very computer literate, but has no linux experience and would have never figured out that the "media unmounted" errors she was getting were because the default setup requires an sdcard or that you toggle the "Use Internal Memory" checkbox.
Anyway, thank you for the responses!

Hello,
I'm trying to install CM 10.1 on my HTC One on T-Mobile. Im using CWM Touch v6.0.3.3. I've tried flashing both the 7/28 and the 7/27 daily builds of CM 10.1 as found on the cyanogenmod website. I selected the T-Mobile version of the software "m7tmo.zip" and tried uploading it, but got the error "status 7". It says "assert device: getprop" and then says a bunch of code about the product names "m7" and "m7tmo". So somehow I think there's a problem with the device and the software matching, even though I'm pretty sure I'm getting it from the official place. Currently I'm using the stock Sense 5 firmware, but I don't have Google Play access because I mistakenly installed the gapps. package (for Android 4.2). Does any one know of CM builds that work right now? And in the short term (and for my own edification), is it possible to download an older version of the gapps package that works with Android 4.1 that I can use?
Thanks for all your help!
Gapps: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps
Lists Gapps packages by Android build. You should be good to go there.

Use TWRP instead of CWM: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/164

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link. I'm downloading the older version of GApps now. A little while ago I tried installing the older GApps package straight through ROM Manager but I don't think it worked. I'm still having trouble, except now I can't get into the play store and Drive won't sync, but other google services (gmail, etc) are working. Somehow, trying to install the GApps package via ROM Manager seems to have broken ROM Manager itself - I get an error message when I try to run it... and of course I can't just uninstall because I don't have Google Play access .
As for using TWRM, I tried already, but for some reason I don't see any files come up when I try installing a .zip package. I'm pretty sure I'm in the right spot and yet TWRM only ever shows directories with no files in any of them.
I think it's also worth mentioning that I have S-ON still, and the only methods I've seen to get S-OFF involve downloading apps from the play store which I don't have (ie. some terminal emulator and a different ROM app). I know its possible to do it through a computer but I haven't been able to find good documentation on how to do it.
So I think my troubleshooting flow chart looks something like this:
Fix Play store error > use terminal emulator to turn S-OFF > flash a better recovery file > install ROM of choice (after some more research I think i'll go with SentinelMod, any one use that one?)
Thanks again for the help folks!
