Camera is not (was not working for me, at least) on latest nightly 0508, released on 05092012.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gorjo:
Hi All.

Just new to the site. I installed CM9 0419 a few weeks back.

It's been flawless for me so far.

Are there plans to include a countdown timer and stopwatch with the clock app?

I know something like this would be low priority especially because there are quite a few in google play to choose from, but it'd be nice if it was a part of the existing clock.

Sorry if this isn't the correct area to discuss this in. Still finding my way around ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stephendt0:
Just use another app to do it.

Also has anyone got BLN working with CM9? I tried installing BLN Control (use the touch keys as backlight notification lights) and it says I need a BLN compatible kernel.. I heard sephamore is what I need, but I don't want to brick anything. Suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tilgi:
Why do you want BLN?

CM9 has notification lights already integrated.

Only if you want them to blink you have to use bln.

Then you need a different kernel, for example semaphore or devil.

You won't brick anything by flashing these kernels (if you follow the instructions).

You're 99,9% correct! Camera is now up and going again, no FC's!

But I don't think there's a need to reboot after cleaning camera app, though. It worked well even without rebooting! :D

it's to distinguish the CM9 partition layout from the stock Samsung layout, which is based on their own BML layer.

There's always be a few people having problems; if you wait until it goes silent you'll never get there :)

there's probably a large silent majority on here having no problems at all, and excellent battery life. me, for one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nitramcek:
Battery is great. Im on Nightlies since they started, and battery is great and I never regreat to left GB rom.

So, dont read too much and just flash it!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndroidBR:
Battery life really is bad on CM9 but it's alright by me, I've got an extra couple batteries just in case. iPhone owners will never have such luxury. :D

On another note, I've noticed that just recently Spirit FM is taking forever to load and to start working properly. But once it loads (takes about a full minute) it works fine,until you press pause or try to change sound output methods.

I can't recall exactly when it started being so laggy like that. It's really bad now.

Did you guys notice anything similar on Spirit FM?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DROCSID:
No, I don't use it since it caused always trouble for me.

On the other hand; there are plenty of things to check

to get a better battery life.

1. (correct) Modem -> saves me a lot of battery

2. disable or remove (unused) apps like Google+ / Facebook

3. WiFi always on

4. Disable Haptic feedback / animation (just because I hate it)

5. low brightness

6. Schedule/sync email and twitter not that often

And so on.... NB this is just personal! ;) But these kind of

things might help for each other person, as I have a quite

briljant battery life now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kinghorsey:
I've found that camera apps (both stock and market purchases) lock up once in a while and become unresponsive.

It won't force close but I'll have to long-press the home button (back button does nothing) to exit - and when taking video that method actually stopped video recording.

Anyone else find issues with the camera in the latest nightly?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndroidBR:
Poor Battery Life CM9 nightly for i9000 05/12/2012

Thanks for replying, RATBORG! ;)

Please note that my answers/settings are located above

(Italic and Bold).

I don't know how to squeeze more battery from it. On very light use, Wi-Fi always ON connected to my router, 2G network (data OFF) only and a few short calls I managed to get 28 hours with it. By all means, that's not bad at all.

But when I switch Wi-Fi off, 3G networks only (data ON) and start using data when I'm on the go, either web browsing, Facebook app and such, the phone will consume 1% a minute. It won't last 6 hours that way... No other Gingerbread ROM behaved that way on my i9000. So I'm pretty perplexed. :confused:

Would you have any suggestions for better modems or kernels for me to try out?

Thanks! :)

Different Subject:

Camera becoming unresponsive or FC on execution/launching

As I upgraded throughout all them nightlys, I eventually started getting the immediate FC every time I tried to launch the default camera app. It just wouldn't launch.

The only way to fix it was to open settings, app management, then, under Camera version 1 info, hit force close app (if it's already running), then select both: clear data and clear cache buttons. You don't have to reboot your phone.

That simple procedure fixed that FC on start up on my i9000.

If you've tried it and it still didn't work, I'd suggest you get into recovery and wipe cache partition as well as wipe dalvik cache.

If that still won't fix it, do a full system wipe (the above plus data) then install the latest CM9 nightly.

Oh yeah! I was almost forgetting this: go to Settings, and under Developer options, tick the option (at the very bottom) where it says "Kill app back button". So when you long press the back/return button it will just kill the process. It takes some time getting used to it that way, but once you get the hang of it, you won't have to struggle with an unresponsive phone/app.

Hope you get your i9000 up and going soon, including your camera. Gosh, I don't know what I would do without my camera...! LOL ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rekull:
As far as i'm concerned, data connection should consume more than a Wi-Fi one. The main reason is because it's linked to the phone's signal and as it has been stated before, when you have bad signal or it fluctuates it automatically uses more battery, even so now when you have an extra battery draining from the 3G data connection.

At least that's what i think could be..

I have a good battery life on CM9.. usually lasts 2-3 days with moderate use.

My phone record was about 9 days, mainly in standby, checking the time now and then, which was on Froyo back then. But i am pretty sure that i can get to about 8 days with CM9 if i try, so the battery life isn't bad at all.

Is anyone else having troubles manually selecting or switching between network types (2G only / 3G only) by using the Network Type button under Notification bar?

I'm having a hard time getting it work properly.

It only seems to work when Wi-Fi is switched off and even though I've manually set the network options to allow either 2G only or 3G only, when I press the button, it won't do anything, or it will turn off data by mistake, or even show the 2G+3G on the button itself. That's really messed up...

I miss the original Samsung Gingerbread ROM where you could manually select the network type to use from. WCDMA, GSM or AUTOMATIC under Network settings menu. On ICS there's just a button to set it to 2G only. What was Google thinking?! LOL

Notification bar, Network toggle, 2G only/3G only modes bug CM9 nightly

Thanks Doc! ;)

I'd be lying if I told you I knew exactly what to do with all of the technical data and cool options to choose from, under those higher than normal settings that pops up with the code above. To me it felt more like playing with fire! :D

Anyhow, I ended up removing the network toggle button from my notification bar, rebooted the phone, and changed the button settings to 2G/3G/3G+2G, Then I added the toggle button back to the notification bar, placing it exactly where I wanted it.

Much to my surprise, the network toggle is working great in latest CM9 nightly (2012-05-12 06:39:08), after performing the changes I just mentioned above. And that is just AWESOME! :cool:

Though I still think we should be able to freely switch network modes regardless of Wi-Fi being enabled or disabled. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

You can only switch network modes under Notification bar if Wi-Fi is OFF. I mean, if Wi-Fi is ON, even if you press the Network type, you will see the button-toggle getting pressed and all, but it will only complete the action immediately after you switch Wi-Fi to OFF.

I think it's just a tiny bug... But a bug nonetheless... :(

CM9

You can have that if you are one of those people who jump around and like to try a lot of ROMs. Vibranturk gave us the old Samsung clock in his last update which has both. He makes very good stable ROMs, currently based on AKOP. So, if you can bear leaving CM9 just for that one thing...:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gorjo:
I installed 20120419 and love it so far.

No problems, no hiccups.

My battery routinely lasts 2 - 3 days.

If I look at my phone now, it reports 2d 6h 45m on battery and is at 39%

I tested someone else's 2,500maH (supposedly) battery and got to 4 days when it was getting very low.

I always have WiFi permanently on too.

I am in no way disappointed with this rom.

Leave CM9??

No Thanks. I just got here. I can't leave yet. I only just opened my first beer :D

CWM corruption/bootloop due to CM9 nightlies?

I was quite enjoying the CM9 alpha builds but after flashing CM9 nightly 10/05 somehow it corrupted cwm recovery and after resetting the phone I am now stuck in a bootloop. Only way to get out of it is to pull the battery out and start up in bootloader mode (power+vol.down+home) as recovery button combo (vol.down+home+power) was not working! So I tried and flashing another kernel (in this case speedmods ketrnel from the wiki) to see if that works. Flash was succesful yet, the newly flashed recovery is still malfunctioning as when I try to flash cm7.1 the bootloop remains. Sometimes the phone reboots into recovery?

How do I solve this?

Flash back to stock and then start all over?

I already wiped all caches and reset user data to factory state but no luck.

The recovery now refuses to flash cm9 directly and produces an error? Same with reflashing cm7.1/miui?

What's even more troubling is, how the hell did CWM get corrupted? Without this tool working properly my phone is a bit useless.

I don't really like relying on the bootloader on flashing roms as that's more complicated and timeconsuming. Now it seems like my last and only chance to save my phone from becoming an expensive paperweight...

Help and advice welcome!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paranoidandroid!:
Solved!

Hello, I fixed it!

Thank you bootloader, I will never doubt you again!

Had to flash the speedmodkerne with Heimdall via pc to get recovery working again. After that I flashed MIUI 2.3.16, wiped everything, cache, factory setting +Dalvik. Still bootloops on reset.

Than I flashed CM7.1 on top of it.

Did the trick and my i-9000 is back up and running.

Phew, for a moment I thought I was perma bricked.

Will be more careful with flashing nightlies from now on.

Is there any reason for why (cwm) bootlooping occurs? Never had a problem with cm9 nightlies, I thought they were superb until nightly 0510?

I guess that's why they call nightlies the alpha stage...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndroidBR:
Remind me again what do you use your smartphone for? Does it just sit there at home, always in airplane mode with Wi-Fi ON and you never use it? 2 - 3 days normal use? Really? I want to see photos of that and your current settings if possible, please.

Most of us turn on the screen at least a few times to actually use it for something useful.

I've just installed latest nightly 0514 and with very light use, two hours down the line, battery's at 80% already.

So, unless you've changed the kernel, switched off all sync, force closed all apps and left your phone on with airplane mode active, I honestly can't think how it's possible for you to be getting two days out of your battery.

Just my thoughts on what you said, nothing personal or anything. I'm just curious to see how that's possible. ;)

Plenty of people think it's a sport to post useless things about a phone

they don't even use. Every dork can put it's phone in flightmode or just

without 3G/H/data, put a replacement battery in it and let it lay on your

desk for 3 or 4 days. But's not where it's made for, it's a smartphone,

else you could better buy a proper Nokia 3310, it goes along for more

than a week, yeah well, you both do the same thing, not being smart.

I'm getting those annoying Low on Space messages...

I was taking photos of photos (about 17 shots) and sending them to my Facebook account when this warning started.

Every time I get on the Facebook app and scroll through some photos I get this message again.

Even after I reboot the phone I still get that message. But I didn't install any other apps. What's going on???

Other than doing a full wipe or cleaning datadata is there anything else I could do to stop this?

I had it already downloaded about a week ago but was not sure which one to use.

The thread owner did not update the files and apparently the other users started finding the answers and putting the download links by themselves, that's very chaotic if you ask me.

Do you use it? If you do, which one? Is it safe?

Edit:

I ended up using the 2903 v2...

No more annoying low on storage warnings!

But then I realized one thing:

Why can't something so little like this be implemented into the actual CM9 ROM itself?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cdmackay:
Because it's a speed/space compromise, and because many people don't need it.

I have over 100 apps installed, and have yet to have a problem. It obviously depends on the apps themselves, as well as how many. Chrome is a bad offender, here.

As well as the DBs in /datadata, there is also per-app cache space, and the Webview caches for many apps can appear to inflate it. However, CM9 will automatically clean those caches when space gets low, so that shouldn't be a problem by itself, but can make things look worse than they are.

You can use the excellent DiskUsage app to see the culplrits but, again, remember that cache usage should be automatically cleaned.

The use of /datadata in a fast yaffs2 partition is one reason why CM9 flies in comparison to stock, so we should rejoice in it :)

WiFi Direct

I'm really excited to use this WiFi direct option. How should I do it? I have a friend with a Galaxy S - CM9, so I guess I can do somethings with him. How can I, for example, send a file using that? Will I simply press the "Share" button and press Wifi direct and done? Or I'll have to do something else? I'm asking this because now that there isn't any device with WiFi Direct here, there's no WiFi direct option in the share options either. Will it be available when I create a group from the settings?

I think there must be a way to improve the success rate of faceunlock. But thank god in the newer version of android (4.0.3) I can see a function call "improve face matching" I guess if you train it a few time it will get better.

Non the less, this may be the real problem. It gives us too little time, basically you only have 5 seconds, if you don't put your face in a right position, it won't budge! I tried by putting my phone on the table and not looking at it, when I turned on the screen, after 5 seconds, faceunlock said "can't recognize your face". This is way too short!

So my question is, is there a way to lengthen the authentication time, let say, 10 seconds? so we at least have enough time to put our face in a correct position?
