I Am Not AFFILIATED with the CyanogenMOD Team.. Any Comments by me are not the views of CyanogenMOD!

Please Read ENTIRE Post

CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community.

Right, lets try this again, shall we?

The OP has kindly provided another thread for you to ask questions in and generally post pointless crap like 'thanks', 'downloading!', 'awesome' etc.

This thread should be reserved for bug reports and constructive feedback for the OP.

I get the following when I try to flash the rom:

Installing Update...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "hercules" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "hercules" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "hercules" ||
E:Error in /sdcard/CM_373_Kang.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted

It seems to happen with all CM7 roms but most other roms work fine for me.

Try updating to the newest recovery which is v.5.8.1.3, you may need to update rom manager too.

Try Install Zip from SD card -> Toggle Signature Verification in CWM. The exact error that I frequently used to get when trying to flash ROMs escapes me, but that typically always solved the problem for me.

Hey eugene just in case you didn't see in the other thread but

Settings>CyanogenmodSettings>Application>Use Internal Storage CHECKED
mounts internal to I'm not sure where.

I believe you have /sdcard as internal and /sdcard/ext or something else for external(not sure since I don't rock an external)

Just saying D: ..Probably insignificant but I checked it since I'm used to doing so only to find out it was mounted fine to begin with.

monkeypaws · Mar 29, 2012

I beleive on cm emmc is external and sd card is labeled as internal

The post above yours is correct.. I fixed it so market apps work correctly.

negativefx · Mar 29, 2012

Hey Eugene,

Found a few issues :

Keyboard settings do not allow for adjusting long press delay.

Flashlight not available in notification widget. Torch works fine.

XDA app free wont allow saving of favorites. Probably related to sdcard issue.

Car Home is borked.

Battery Charge on lockscreen says 'Sorry try again' I have always show battery stats enabled.

No option for personalized voice searching.

lmao! Sorry try again........

yeah I made a few bugs fixing others... awe hell...

`SBR` · Mar 29, 2012

Eugene... here is my findings

Scrolling lags or struck on first scroll then back to normal. I am using bounce and glow option.
Lockscreen shows charging % though its discharging. I have enabled to show percentage all the time.

Just an information.
Home button not working in first flash.. fixing permissions fixed the issue

Rom is snappier and the other functions I have tested are working. Nice rom..thanks for your hard work.

This thread has been pretty good so far but I had to reiterate this point elsewhere, so it seemed like it was worth mentioning here too:

There seems to be some confusion about this, so lets spell it out...

The following are appropriate posts for this thread:

Bug reports (though please check before posting - there's no point reporting a bug that 10 other people have already mentioned)

Solutions/fixes for bugs/issues

Information clearly contradicting a pre-existing bug report (if there's a reason why you're not having the same problem, that may help the OP work out why the bug is occurring)

The following are not appropriate reasons to post in this thread:

Questions

Suggestions/feature requests

General feedback ("No problems here", "3 days no issues" etc)

Thanks (not that anyone should be posting just to say thank you when there is a thanks button but it seems some people are incapable of using it)

Other non-contributory posts

Posts like those should be in the companion thread for this ROM.

Issues I ran into:

Clicking on 4G Settings in Settings causes FC of Settings
Device Settings says Galaxy S (instead of Galaxy S II) Settings up top, and all of the settings are disabled, including ability to control button lights
Settings => Cyanogenmod settings => Interface => Render effect has no effect
Cyanogenmod-style swiping the notification bar to adjust brightness does not work, even with auto-brightness disabled

Other issues I've seen others mention already that I can confirm:

Airplane mode wipes out the APN list
NFC doesn't work
Settings => Cyanogenmod settings => Application => Use Internal as /sdcard is working opposite of expected
Settings => Cyanogenmod settings => Interface => Notification power widget => Widget buttons => Toggle LED flashlight is unavailable

retrotim · Mar 29, 2012

Instead of 4g I have an "H" where my 4g normally is. Every once in a while 4g pops up for a few seconds.

2 bugs I noticed in Slayher's CM7 A2 that are still present in this:

After charging all night the battery will report to drain ridiculously fast until I reboot the phone -- simple workaround, reboot every morning when I unplug it
LauncherPro folders are missing icons on boot, workaround, restart launcherpro after rebooting in the morning

Otherwise, overall MUCH faster at stock speeds than Slayher's A2 with Synergy OC to 1.83. If you want a logcat from while the battery is draining fast or anything else I can provide from this phone, just let me know. Thanks!

Edit: Had to go back to Slayher A2, Battery drain on this ROM was insane (about 10% per 2 hours). Might have been me.
Edit 2: I flashed again because I want this to work so much. Going to run JuiceDefender and figure out what's draining the battery.

androidftw · Mar 29, 2012

The issues i have:
-When i restored me SMS messages (12000) of them SMS app wont open any of the threads
-When i tried downloading GoSMS or Handcent to try them the market said "Error Cannot Purchase"

Other then that this rom is perfect, any help here?
I will post logcat right now

Edit:
I have figured out how to fix both these, For anyone using SMS Backup and Restore if you have a large amount of SMS ie over a few thousand after restore open up the sms app and try to open a thread and let it sit, it may ask to fc or wait click wait. In my case 12000 MSGs took about 15 mins.

To fix the market i had to reboot and let the market sit open for a while? Not sure why.
