Since we didn't have a Q&A thread for CM7 here it is. We've been getting more users asking questions on the development thread, so hopefully they'll notice this and ask their questions here:

Anyone else notice that while playing music with headphones, the external speaker is on but isn't playing anything. You can hear it on but its not playing anything

yes, I have heat, but not that really hot, just a little warm when work with it more than 10 mins continuously like gaming, facebook or sth...so, it's not a big deal but battery I think I can deal with things in 24+ hours so, it's great ^^ (stock 1650 mAh fyi)...anw, has someone tried tweaks like A.S 15 beta or Supercharge or Lagfree 2.1 on CM7 yet? I applied those but don't know if they're working or not since there's nothing remarkable
Haha, after I've flashed so many roms and many times, seem like my phone now have 000...00 imei for permanent lol (forgot to backup things ^^) so, be careful men
Edit: after flashing CM7 again by FB CWM method (via CWM), the IMEI is back @@...my phone was really got me =]]

DO NOT use those tweaks on CM7. They are not made to work with CM7 and may cause issues.

Yes, flash a one click that comes with a custom kernel built in, and make sure that if you made the backup in RED cwm you restore from RED cwm

I seem to be getting inferior battery life on CM7 compared to VB w/ AntonX's kernel, with about the same amount of usage. Anyone else notice this? I'm guessing this is mainly down to the reversion to a stock kernel. Are there any tips for battery life specific to CM7 and besides the usual ones (e.g., battery apps, screen brightness, turning off mobile networks)?

CM7 will be worse on battery until they get all the kinks worked out. You might still see less battery over a custom modified stock rom.
Weird thing happened to me..from miui when I downloaded the files rebooted to recovery it booted into blue cwm so since u said that I thought ill just backup then do a red cwm since it wouldent let me flash..got on cm7 with no problems thanks guys

Try fix permissions and reflash gapps zip. If it doesn't work you might have to repartition SD card from CWM and reflash.

Will this tweak wipe anything out? No.
Will the recovery for GB cause your phone to wipe? Maybe depending on what recovery you have. Last I remember there was a fix for that, I dont have GB therefore I am not to sure.

@droidnewb2000 yes it works but itll break the boot animation, I dont know why it does it.
@phillthedrill this replace the binary files with files from Honeycomb which are more responsive, the files are app_process and system_server.
@Grillrd sorry you dont see much of a difference. I notice a huge improvement and so does my girlfriends Inspire 4G and friend Infuse 4G.

Damn man, sorry to hear that but it seems like your the only one it caused this problem for. Ive tried this many times... The most i can say is wipe, install the rom and let it fully boot up. Then flash fugu. This tweak is universal and MANY people without charges use this tweak without problems.
I'm running Humble 1.51 with Voodoo and Super Charged V6, so my phone already feels snappy. However, I ran Linpack prior to flashing. My scores ranged from high 15's to low 16's. After flashing, Linpack consistently gave me scores in the 18 sec range. That is with NO overclocking, as I'm using the PBJ kernel. This was an easy to use, worthwhile mod imo.

Everytime i have tried flashing a CM7 based rom, and i've tried almost all of them, once the screen goes to sleep it won't wake up. i think that's called sleep of death (SOD), pardon my n00bness if i'm wrong. the odd thing is that when i press the wake button, the phone and even the digitizer wake up because i can hear/feel the phone unlocking when i make the sliding motion on the screen, but the screen itself will not wake up. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? or better yet any ways of preventing/fixing this?

Did u wipe ur data and format system before flashing? Try to fix permission too. Only guessing but maybe the battery is bad, as far as I know u not getting new one with replacement, so if u had same issue on stock rom that could be a problem.
I had 2 replacements but had that problem only if undervolt too much.

I did wipe data, format system and even fix permissions and still same problem occurs, I don't think it has to do with the battery tho because stock OTA based roms don't have this issue...it must be something particular about the CM7 base
Also, could it be the fact that i have the WIND mobile optimus 2x? it says p999-DW on the back though
use miui it doesnt have the SOD problem cm7 did it the last time i had it (3 days ago)
Is this the right mod for my SGH-T959? HERE
If so I had trouble installing it. I'm not sure what method works. The only method that worked so far is here [[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]] But its not the Rom I wanted.. I want to install the latest cyanogenmod
Nope. If it's a t959 you have a vibrant. Go to the proper forums for your phone. Look under your battery for the model number.
if it's a t959v then yes you're in the right forums.

Hi all,
Ive been looking at this site for some time and have been rooting and romming my charge regulary. Now that FP5 is out I wanted to try Tweaked 3.0 beat 2. I got the file from IRC. I stocked my phone took both OTA's, ffashed cwm 0302, went straight to cwm wiped cash, davlik , did factory data reset and installed the cwm file of the beta.. I get stuck at the samsung loader indefinitely. To get my phone back up and running i flashed the tweaked vanilla 2.2 to keep the new kernal and modems from FP5. THis has my phone up and running. I've read of others running the the beta with no issue. I cannot find on the site instructions to get it running. If someoone could help i would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Sorry I can't be much help to you but I just wanted to inform you that dwither plans on releasing 3.0 very soon. Perhaps just wait for the final release?
Go ahead and and repeat
What you did (only need to do a factory reset)
Install 3.0 bete2.
It takes a little while to boot...
But if it doesn't either pull battery or hold volume up and power at the same time
(30 seconds) this will reboot phone...
See if that works..
Also when in recovery after you flash 3.0 mount everything again and run fix permission ..
