Have you tried Goo?

http://goo.im/cm/maguro/nightly

Goo has been very slow lately as well but it's a viable alternative for me, I think Al Gore is throttling the entire intarwebz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Razer(x):
Goo is getting one of the primary hosting sites for Android, i'm not surprised it doesn't have enought bandwith.

I always download via torrent (when possible) to avoid bandwith use of cyanogen hosting site (also downloads via torrent are really fast)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] srt4mn:
Worked great, downloaded the full file in about 2 min for me :D

I switched from AOKP#37 to yesterdays cm9 nightly, everything's fine so far, but I really miss the option to set the glow of the nav-bar buttons, as this is the reason for the appdrawers lagging when zooming in/out.

I remember reading somewhere here that this could be done manually somewhere, anyone remembers where? couldn't find it anymore with searching :/

edit: nevermind, switched back to AOKP anyway. love the way CM9 is heading, going to try it again in a few weeks, but as for now, to many featues are not implemented :(

i love the weather on lock screen!

is there any chance i can change the color on my lock screen (text+weather) from default white to different color?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
Not yet, the feature is still very new, I'm sure more customization (weather service, fonts, colors, etc...) are in the works, calendar on the lock screen is also on the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
sound amazing!

where i can see what planned to cm9 future?

Projects that have been submitted for review can be found here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/q/status:open,n,z

Note: just because its in review doesn't mean it's coming soon or ever, it means the author thinks it's good enough for the CM team to look at it and provide comments.

For projects that are being worked on but aren't in review yet you'd have to do brain scans on the devs or something :p

how are you guys testing the emergency call bug? I don't like the idea of calling 911 and saying heyyy, just testing a new rom, carry on =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
Often you can call a non-emergency number and ask if you can make a test 911 call to check your line, the rules for this vary by jurisdiction, so you'd want to check before doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Research local laws. I called my police info line to see if it's possible to set up a time for a test call. They informed me that no matter what a unit would be dispatched, so needless to say I didn't test. YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
The Euroskank build has it. It's the only reason I'm not using the official nightly.

Question abour the CW recovery

When I was on CM7 I used to use Amon Ra Recovery, and manually flash new ROM's.

There was a way to do nandroid backups without the /data. That was/is much faster then with the /data and normally a new ROM will not **** with /data.

But now when I'm on CW recovery, there is onle "backup" or "don't backup". No option to exclude the /data.

Not from ROM Manager, and not from the recovery it self.

Why not? Does anyone know anything about that?

/Söder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Have you tried TeamWin's Recovery Project? http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

Gosh, I really miss 4EXT Recovery from my old Nexus One :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
No, but I kind of like the way ROM manager works, now when I got the Galaxy Nexus, but since it backup everything I normally skip that part..which is ...not good.

I can't understand what there is no options for the backup..

I really hope the guys will eventually add other providers to the weather lockscreen. I'm really anal about this as I use Fancy Widgets that has A LOT of weather providers except Yahoo Weather :rolleyes: and they never match.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
Thanks for the answers guy :)

Is ROM Manager capable to daily-update the Cyanogen ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
Yes, but only with Premium(paid) version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
I understand why. Clockworkmod recovery sucks, is why.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhaseBurn:
In California all you need to do is dial 911 during normal business hours and politely tell the operator "This is not an emergency, this is a phone technician conducting a test of a reconfigured system, I am located in <city>, are you the nearest dispatch?". Procedure is similar or identical for most states I've worked in.

I do it frequently for a number of reasons on both cell and land lines. They've never dispatched anybody. 911 test calls are required by phone technicians under a number of circumstances in all areas of the US - your operator was misinformed or not being truthful when he/she stated that a unit would always be dispatched.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
Well, I don't want to put it that way, but the only reason I can it's good, is the ROM Manager.

I never used it on my N1, but now it's kind of nice to just download a nightly and flash..

But, it sucks that the backup part is "ALL" or "not at all".

Is the torch implemented in the 05/29 nightly? I see it listed in the log but it is still greyed out. Sorry for the noob question. Just wanted to know if that is a problem on my side

Not that I've seen... option is greyed out on my phone too...

issue with Maps

Maps has started crashing lately. It started this past weekend while on the 20120516 nightly, now I'm on the 20120527 nightly and still have the issue. Maps will open, zoom to my location, and sit there trying to render the map image. A few seconds pass and the app force closes. Sometimes it takes me back home without any notice to wait/fc/report. Attached is a log which hopefully someone can look at in hopes to identify the cause. thanks

edit: it seems my issue was with the 512 kernel, I've gone to a 384 kernel and maps is working fine now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
Interesting. Maps seems ok here. Did you try clearing data from the app?

Change Home Button Settings

I've been searching for an answer and don't see it addressed in the forum.

Is there any way to change the home buttons setting for being long pressed? Currently it brings up recent apps when long pressed. I want to change the setting to bring up menu options.

Any way I can do this? I looked in System > Navigation bar and it doesn't allow me to change the home button's settings at all it seems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FaithCry:
no. it doesn't feature this like aokp. maybe in the future, but CM wants to keep things pretty streamlined.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JUSMEJOSE:
Something is wrong with the download links.... i cant download the lastest update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
Why use a custom ROM if it's not gonna add A LOT of features that I can turn on or off. :-(

It's features like the one asked for, that makes CM great. Ways to have it "my" way...

/Söder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
The design philosophy was changed in CM9 because CM7 was a behemoth of niche settings that often caused more problems than they solved and resulted in a lot of wasted dev time tracking down issues with specific niche settings. They have instead decided to allow "non-core" features to be added with mods and addons so that everyone can get the features they want without over complicating the base.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
Ok, and having custom long press home button is such a non-core feature then?

/Söder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
Why can't you just add the menu button to the navbar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
Well, now wasn't it me that wasted just THAT function, but just doing that would be a compromisation (unsure how to spell that). "He" wanted it on the long press, like you could have it in cm7 I guess.

Never mind, I was just wondering why a lot of features was gonna be left out...

/Söder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
I didn't say a lot of features were going to be left out, I said a lot of niche features would be left out, does changing the long press home button functionality count as a niche feature? It's not my place to say.

As it stands CM9 is officially in experimental (ie pre-alpha/alpha) status, which means it is far from complete, features are being added daily, but the features being added are bring freshly coded for ICS and not forward ported from GB, many of the features that appear in AOKP and other custom ROMs were forward ported from GB, while these features are not a problem, coding them clean for ICS is less likely to cause problems in the long run and that's why it's being done in this way. Coding from scratch always requires more time than forward porting, so features are coming out more slowly, this doesn't mean they won't happen ever, it does mean that people need to be patient and if they can't be patient they need to find a different ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cranch:
Same here. I clicked through the first 8 or so links and got a tiny tiny download from them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
Yes, the mirrors suck, the torrent (green icon) before the direct download link works pretty much 100% of the time though, there are torrent apps for android so you can even DL it to your phone directly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cranch:
We have torrents blocked at the office. I'll just temporarily unblock them. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antinerd:
What is the best android torrent app that you have used? I have never downloaded torrents on my device, and I'd like to buy the best one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
I use tTorrent Pro. Works good. They have a light version which limits your speeds to 250kb/s. Still faster than the links though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theROMinator:
aDownloader, from the Play Store :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aiinjylls:
I use aTorrent. Its free and no speed caps! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
I used to use that, but then for some reason it started saying all my torrents were invalid. I used it for those exact reasons, free and no speed caps. I tried all kinds of torrents, even the CM9 ones, same response. Even to this day i have it still but no go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djungelmums:
Seriously Söder. If you don't like the ROM, don't use it. If you do, use it. It's been said several times that CM9 is far from done. No ETAs set. The devs are doing this in their spare time. Stop comparing ROMs in this thread. If some other ROM has the features you need or want, use that one instead. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gynlemon:
But who's the matter? No one here is complaining of CM9 .. but only to the difficulty of downloading from Cyanogen .. and you are running for cover with torrent :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bakron1:
I am also having issues downloading the nigthlies from the CM site? Keeps hanging up and most of time time it tries to start then hangs? I never had an issue until today?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
It depends on the mirror get.cm assigns you to and whether that mirror was fully propagated or not, some mirrors are better than others, I've gone weeks where it works everyday and other weeks where it never works. The only time it works 100% is to use the torrent link (green icon on the list) instead, I've only had the torrent fail once ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gynlemon:
Try this with Goo.im http://goo.im/cm/maguro/nightly or use the program manager:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkyblue04:
Are we getting closer to a rc yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bakron1:
Thanks a bunch, it worked like a charm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
To answer your question, here is the explanation that codeworkx posted in another CM thread, it clearly explains how an RC or stable comes to be:

To answer your question more directly, the ETA for all RC/Stable versions of CM9 is 12/24/2045.

If you're happy with the stability/features of the nightly, run it. If you aren't happy with the stability/features of the nightly, run something else. It's really quite simple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
12/24/2045? man that's long time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
That's always the date they quote when asked for ETAs :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Are you sure it isn't 4/1/2045 ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkyblue04:
Half asleep. I admit it was a dumb question :-) Would be great if it automatically updated itself everytime a nightly is released :-P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rivera618:
I went to an old back up (with the 20120422 nightly) and all is fine again. Not sure what the deal was. I cleared cache, dalvik, fixed permissions and nothing worked. I might stick with this until the RC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
Using CM7.2 on LG 2X today, I successfully dialed 999, the local emergency number, to report an illegal parking.

I was told that CM9 was a completely fresh build from Android 4.0, instead of upgrading from CM7. The result I had today is matched with the saying. Building a ROM from nothing really needs a lot of testing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbgt2:
Bwahahhahha, seriously? Was he blocking ur drive ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galakanokis:
Would anyone know why I cannot send an MMS while I am on wifi? Works fine on data but no go on wifi. Haven't done much for testing and not sure when it started but I just noticed it.

Currently on the latest nightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FaithCry:
Its always been like this on every phone, you have to use data cause its usually part of your payment plan. AFAIK..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
This issue has been bothering me for a long time. it's not specific to CM9 but I just want to see if anyone else experiences it: The google search app (the one you activate through the widget) doesn't always find the installed apps.

Sometimes, I search for an app and it just doesn't find anything (or it takes a very long time to find it).

I noticed that on a fresh install (with data wipe), the problem doesn't exist and apps are always found in less than half a second. But when I flash another nightly without wiping data, the issue reappears.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galakanokis:
Damn. Makes sense but I can't believe I have never noticed that before.

Thanks for the quick response.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:

similar cases here. when using nightlies (about 05.10-05.23), I didn't receive whatsapp messages when on wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FaithCry:
That's odd... whatsapp is a wifi and data friendly app. Works with both. Mine has been working just fine on both types.:/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
you have to sepecify that the apps are included in searching.

Go to app drawer. Find Google Search. Setting.

Have you made the setting?

Or you include everything in your search? It may explain the very long time to find an app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
Same here. I don't get whatsapp messages on Wi-Fi either. Or if I do, they're delayed by 10 minutes at least. Unless I'm actually in the app. Then its OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
Sure. But I've never said that I don't like CM and I've never asked for ETA for CM9 I think. :-)

/Söder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
LOL it works but not always.

I have tried disabling everything except for apps, unfortunately it didn't work.

I'm guessing that the search app uses some sort of database to keep track of apps and this database gets corrupted when caches are cleared or an update is installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
My worst case: delayed half day!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
oh, I overlooked the word 'sometimes'.

You may try clearing cache and data of the search app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luizffgarcia:
ETA for RC

Seriously, sometimes i feel like only 13 years old kids are CM users.

Not everyone who asks about Release Candidates are morons who don't know how CM development works, you have to remember that not only hardcore flashers use CM, not everyone has the time or the ability to flash new nightlies and test them well frequently.

Those people just want to be able to choose a more stable version when they DO have the time to flash their phones.

In the OP it states that this is only for advanced users, bla bla bla, and i can live with that, i can flash my phone every single day if i want to no problem, but i think that as CM and Android phones get more popular (and they are!), more users who are not that advanced will be interested in CM, and it would be of great help for them to be able to just flash a build knowing it was tested and recommended to be a RC.

Again, i know every build we have right now is good and it suits all MY needs, but sometimes one of these builds come with a new small bug, which is promptly corrected, but for those users i described flashing CM with this small bug is a pain in the a**.

So my point is, it would be nice to stop flaming everyone who just doesn't have the time to flash 3 build per night and wants to try CM! What makes a great community like XDA as great as it is, is the exchange of knowledge! And not the huge egos and small social skills of a few kids who, just because they know how to flash an experimental build, find joy in flaming people who are trying to get there...

I agree with you but I doubt the flames will disappear. Honestly, I simply ignore that kind of behavior. The majority of the people at XDA always been helpfull and that is what matters.

Normally big egos are an indication of some other problems... Flames are a call for attention, ignoring is the bets course...

Question:

How can I change the dpi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Never on the CM kernel. When I have it's been coming off of a WiFi connection, or turning off WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FaithCry:
build.prop in /system/, or use an app that changes the pixel density.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gynlemon:
It is not yet solved the problem start when the phone is off and charging ..

As long as there is an animated icon of the battery and disconnecting the cable the phone turns on .. but if you turn on the cable plugged in, it crashes and you have to remove the battery to turn it on! :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhaseBurn:
I could be completely mistaken by this so if anybody knows differently, please speak up, but I think I remember reading somewhere that Android has never supported using the second microphone for noise cancellation directly. Phones that did (specifically the Nexus One which is where I remember reading about it) did this in hardware with a special chip, and passed the "cleaned up audio" to Android as the input from the mic. This operation never happened in software, and the input from phones that had this feature vs didn't was no different from an audio handling point of view - it was all incoming sound to the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariotme:
That's weird :/

Am getting loads of data drops. When ever I wake my phone after some idle periods the data would be dropped. I started fresh 3 nightly's ago stock kernel of course
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snapilica2003:
I can't believe Google would launch a Nexus device with noise cancelation and not have ROM support for it.

Is there a way to know if this works? Some logs somewhere or something similar?

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

AFAIK stock ROM from SGSII had a button to stop and start noise cancelation... so that hardware has to be linked with software somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
Google do strange things sometimes..what about the fm radio? the chip is there (the main part of it atleast) but no antenna and software
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Are you both aware of that it isn't Google who put the phone together? It's produced by Samsung, and the only "Google" about it is that it runs Google's stock OS and is entitled to "fast" OTA updates directly from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
I'm not flaming anyone, nor am I saying you have to flash every day or every week or every month, what I am saying is that asking for ETAs in the thread when it's clear that no ETAs will be forthcoming because no ETAs exist is ridiculous and it happens everyday! If you want an ETA, search the thread for the last time someone asked for an ETA, the answer is going to be the same always.

If you look at the history, I've very clearly explained how an RC comes to be with a quote from a dev who is a Samsung device maintainer for CM, this is the only answer other than the joke 12/24/2045 that I have ever received on when there will be an RC. The plain and simple truth is, if you think CM9 is too unstable/lacks features, don't use it, don't come here and flame us for answering the same question that gets asked every freakin day.

FYI: Is the nightly stable atm? Yeah, Ive been using it for a while without problems.

Edit: you know what, I've done my best to help people in this thread, I've done my best in a number of CM threads to help, but I get tired of the same **** every day that could be answered by searching. Honestly, the truly massive amount of spam in the GT-I9100 thread is far less annoying than being chewed out for giving a legitimate and truthful answer, I'm done in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
ya..but is google that say (or should say) to samsung how to build the phone ..samsung does not produce the nexus itself because they like to do it, but becasue google told they..don't u think?
