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. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Instructions:

Note: this build as a Release Candidate has been superceded by the latest nightlies due to many bug fixes. This thread will get a new Release Candidate as soon as we feel it is ready for Release.

First time flashing CyanogenMod 7 to the Samsung Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM?
  1. Root the device and install ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions are available here.
  2. Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
  3. Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
  4. Perform a factory reset.
  5. Flash CyanogenMod.
  6. Flash CyanogenMod again (without reboot - this is a bug we will fix soon).
  7. Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.
Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 7?
  1. Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
  2. Flash CyanogenMod (your Google Apps will be backed up & restored automatically).
Issues?

Experience issues? Please provide the following info:
  • If the device was hard reboot, please provide the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
  • If the device was soft reboot or is "bootlooping", please run a logcat and provide the full output.
  • Please use Pastebin when possible.
Download Links:



Upon review of user feedback and bugs that have been discovered with what was released as 7.1.0 stable, we no longer feel the 'stable' tag is appropriate for this rom.

The download is still available, however it is now being treated as a Release Candidate, rather than a proper stable release.

Sorry for all the confusion, and any issues you may experience. We will release a 7.1+ once we feel the ROM has matured to a truly stable status.

The way I understand it when you flash a rom it comes in thinking whatever the battery has on it at the time of the flash is 100%. If you see that the battery has been "fully charged" on your phone then you can usually shut it off and plug it in and see the battery that pops up will not say its fully charged. You can let it charge (while off mind you) and when it gets done and says 100% turn it back on and run this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration and then run it dead. And yes, its a must, I generally do it after flashing a rom. You can't complain about battery life if this hasn't been done, the phone won't ever truly have a full charge.

Your always going to want to flash a new nightly with 100% battery to get the best battery life and full potential. I'd recommend when flashing your next nightly to give your phone a full charge, download the app from the market battery calibration, let your phone charge to 100% and follow the instructions so that your battery gets calibrated, the longevity of it will span a lot farther. :D

I thought I heard someone say this process does nothing for Samsung devices? Or am I incorrect?

So here's my question, I'm really loving the Stock Camera application, and in my previous experience with CM7, the camera app leaves ALOT to be desired! I'm sure it's the same but what is everyone else doing to continue using the amazing camera app that Samsung sent it with?

can't do it - the stock camera .apk uses a different framework than CM7 does.

Just installed this, and wow, extremely underwhelmed. Seems like a step backwards compared to the latest touchwiz, I dare say. I think the problem is, this has become a one size fits all rom... May be great for some older devices, but does not do the S2 justice. :-\
