so, i had cm7. i wiped/formatted everything and installed the cwm version of cm9. the phone doesn't start booting. i understand that it's because i don't have a ics compatible bootloader. so, where do i find ics compatible bootloaders? i've searched this thread and the other ones but didn't find any information, and i don't want to search on google or to follow instructions or advices from other sites other then xda.

thanks.

Flash the rom twice thru CWM or use Odin to install the bootloader.

What modem do u prefer? Just flash with odin? I will start now,just to see wich one is good. I can ude GB modems as well?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] quertiy:
for some reason after the flash i can't enter cwm. i can only acces odin. and regarding the bootloader install with odin, that was my original question. where do i find these ics compatible bootloaders? in what thread? i don't find it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] brendonwardmusic:
Try KP1 you can use any modem i think.

The bootloader is in the Odin zip.

Battery LIFE!!! :D

W00T I got 9 hours and 30 minutes with 78 % left with this rom :O

I got 43% Android OS usage and 19% screen on!

First i thought this wouldnt be good if i look at battery life but after a night of charging and playing with it, it became like this good!! :D:D

Thx for your experimental rom, its very good already for an experimenal rom! :D

Kernel Panic while charging

When the phone is powered off and USB charging cable is inserted it starts the usual battery charging animation and then stalls. If I revert back to CM7(116) and try again to charge while powered off I get "Kernel Panic Upload Mode" screen.

Neither ROM will charge the phone if powered off... this is worrying if I drain the battery to zero I will not be able to charge. Nandroid restores all produce the same result. I suspect I have to flash back to stock with Odin, sound right or is there something else I can try? Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dorilife:
WoW! You clearly haven't been following the thread..

Your my hero
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kSnaz:
Following this thread is impossible like every thread on this board that is longer than ten pages. Limited search tools and goofs like you jumping on everyone that needs help and cluttering the thread even more.

I searched for keyword "panic" in this thread and had two results neither of which describe, although similar, my problem.

Until XDA format is modernized and goofs like you stop wasting space with your signatures on every of "you don't read the thread, you are dumb" only then will XDA be a quick resource and not an exercise in futility.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] stifmaister:
Totally agree...people like Dorilife should just be banned, as they just create more problems instead of saying anything useful.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dorilife:
I'm not gonna post here and bicker with you over the obvious..

Which is you didn't follow the thread, I know XDA has its flaws but doesn't mean you can't atleast read the last pages or the o.p

Which clearly states this is a test build..(unstable)

This isn't a support thread..

Alot of people are having issues and quickly post there problems without even trying to fix themselfs

And not reading..

That's why some devs leave XDA, not because of "goofs" like me..

In no moment did I ever call you dumb, I stated the obvious.."you haven't followed the thread"

If you would atleast read the last 10-20 pages ..which isn't hard..

You would see that this thread allready has enough stuff that shouldn't be here, I can say yes..I posted something that had no help to you or the thread..

And I hope I get excused for that.

Like I said, I'm not here to argue with you or anyone, just read and learn new things, but on every page Of this thread there's someone saying "oh no! Ive got an issue with my device"

By the way...XDA isn't the only resource, Google is your friend.

Edit- please if you have anything else to say feel free to pm me.

So the thread doesn't get more cluttered.

And your post was more useful?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
@Dorilife dude you seem to do lots of good, but dont get offended by them and respond to much, they want that, the whiners.

To many of the 2011 early and late or even near today XDA joiners, most of you are lamers, askers, complainers with tons of posts on over 3 months.

If you match the profile of having more then 5xx post here withing a short periode you shouldn't be here, I even haven't got 300 posts but learned here much by reading and asking "on topic questions.

XDA is a place of reading what dev's do and of user delivering info that devs can use.

Every post that doesn't contain of the above shouldn't be here at all, or in Q&A or General.

If you don't match those arguments it shouldn't be posted in the GS2OAD Forum.

The flamewars and stupid arguing irritate me very much, and i do say the nicely now, most think far worse of that ATM.

When you're at a dev forum, behave like that or dont post and just read the good info, if you dont understand that, go to Q&A and ask there, this is a place of info giving and getting, NOT whining and demanding, or utterly posting rubbish and polluting interesting threads.

Just a hello to everyone who should be here, and a

GTFO to the ones that don't understand this board and think it's A babyplace to cry instead of XDA and a techie forum for people who want to live like that and support it.

Great work! Repect!!!

Flashed several times and always got Random offset. Hmm? Even flashing 2 or 3 times at once in recovery, gives Random Offset.

Is it normal??? Does anyone get frequent random offset during flashing?

Carrier: LMT (Latvia) confirmed Calls, Mic, Data (HSUPA) works perfectly, no drops at all. No calls being missed.

No black screen during call, via dialer or skype or tango. Camera works fine except video, that give fc and low picture resolution with back camera, but have issue with WiFi - can't be enabled?

Despite alpha version, ROM is gorgeous.

Guys, cannot understand, please dont kick too hard

INSTRUCTIONS

There are two versions, one for odin and one for cwm.

Choose whatever you want.

CWM

- READ FAQs: http://xdaforums.com/show...96&postcount=2

- Make sure you're already running ICS bootloaders

So, what does it mean - "Make sure you're already running ICS bootloaders "?

Does it mean i need first flash ODIN version to have it?

So i need use this link

Outdated

ODIN 12252011: http://www.multiupload.com/MIC3QV9CR0

?

Why it is marked as outdated?

Or how i can install ICS bootloader?

I use now Revo v4 with SpeedMod 18, can i just use CWM update?

DOWNLOADS

CWM 12262011: http://www.multiupload.com/RR6X75U8VZ

Or not?

To be honest the FAQ section explain nothing...

Thanks in advance

so
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eseregin:
Not exactly what i wanted to hear to be honest 8-)

I know a little about .... things.

Not need any details info how to flash using CWM, ODIN or using mental influence on phone even 8-), so cannot agree i am complied noob.

It is not hard to answer how i can get this bootloader?

I saw guy wrote that flashing CWM 2 times can install bootloader... imho probably not...

So i can use odin, it will flash bootloader for sure...

Why mark it outdated though?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvtec69:
the Build is outdated,not the bootloader, flash the bootloader from the odin package and then if you want install 25th Dec Build or the newer 26th Dec build
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] exmatproton:
Don't know why it's called outdated, but since you know how to flash bootloaders there is no need to ask right? Also, i did not call you a noob. I was only pointing out, if you don't know how to do this, don't do it! Nothing more mate!!!

Btw, a second flash is working with the 26-12-2011 file...

Hi All,

Not too sure if this has been covered in here and I dont want to scare anyone out of trying this ROM, for a very early release it is excellent.

I was using it for about 30 minutes and I noticed my external speaker had stopped working. So I gave the phone a restart, the usual steps when something goes a bit dodgy but no luck.

I nandroided back to my previous rom however still, no speaker working.

When I say no speaker I mean, no speaker in calls, no audio when someone calls and no media playing back sound.

I was wondering whether anyone who had tried this ROM had the same issue, or even if someone has previously had this issue and found a solution that wasnt hardware.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am fairly knew to the SG2, I previously had a Desire and knew just about every quirk they had, however still havent come across everything on the Samsung.

Thanks in advance.

Scott

Go back to a official stock rom, do a factory reset and see if it works again.

If not, then it might be a hardware problem.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
it's a RIL or kernel problem.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tosheeba:
Just installed this rom using the odin method.

It's working near perfectly so far.

I have some issue with making the phone visible in my linux file manager or windows explorer for some reason although the phone is detected with no issues by both operating systems.

Calls are working so far with Vodafone Portugal.

Thanks for the EA release Codeworkx. Really appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dabeeeenster:
I'm not sure it is mentioned in the second post. I can see:

But that's not the error I'm seeing. I get consistent signal (o2 in the UK) but the phone doesn't ring if it is called and the screen is not on.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] more2come:
Would testdrive that baby, if it weren't for the RIL crashes...

Would be helpful if there were guys who can actually code over there at Samsung.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] melorib:
If they couldnt, we wouldnt be here... :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
there are a lot of other problems like the sensor problem.

the proximity sensor is always reporting 0 what means, that your phone is on your face but it isn't. ;-)

it's normally used to disable screen when you take a call and move your phone to your face and to reenable the screen when you move it away from your face.

it's a waste of time to talk about. it's a experimental build without support.

if something doesn't work, then it doesn't work and you have to accept it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] on2a:
Yep, best way to treat this is as a taster only. Some people are able to use it as a daily but it's clear that was never the intention.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dabeeeenster:
I understand that - I'm not complaining, just trying to let you devs know what is and isn't working. I'm sure you know this but just wanted to confirm. I'm not expecting it to be fixed, just wanted to flag it up.

Just FYI. I set the "Allow call waiting" to on and that seems to have fixed the issue, although I'm going to retest after the phone has been asleep > 1 hour. On o2 in the UK.

Thanks for the replies.

Edit:

To be honest - with this issue fixed the phone is close to usable daily on O2. Some apps not installing and yes there are issues, but it IS usable...Battery life not bad either.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shotta35:
Well after an all day and all night I can say i'm using this as my daily driver for now. I had about 3hrs of voice calls yesterday and tons of text and data.

Camera (3MP) crash (known) - touch to focus a few times then ptake pic

Headphone volume bug (known) - No workaround

Proximity sensor issue (known) - just press home button to wake screen.

Touchscreen sensitivity (known?) -

Haptic feedback (known) -

For anyone with the sleep issue and phone not waking during calls, just consider it a NITZ problem and either flashback to stable ROM and move on or just forget about it. :p

I am using AT&T as I said previously and they "support" NITZ but my voice works just fine apparently. On first boot up, my phone automatically updated it's time and timezone I saw so i'd say that's NITZ unless i'm confusing things. In either case, working great here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
Pssssssssssssst. This isn't usable!!!

Gimme a full "logcat -b radio" and i'll tell you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shotta35:
http://pastebin.com/vANVGU2j

Let's see if I did that right :p - Can't say i'm no pro or dev. That output is a result of turning wifi on then off as it was saying "Waiting for device" - I should do that when the device is booting? Hell i'll just do another one and restart the phone now :)

http://pastebin.com/N2aEenRZ

Ok that's another - when I rebooted the phone with -b radio running it just said waiting for devices still so i dialled 611 and then hung up. The above output is from that.

Google Music App

First, thank you codeworkx and team for your hard work on bringing this ROM to life.

Im not a develper so this post is mostly for people with the same technical 'know how' as me.

if you want to use the most recent google music app without having the native one (the one that comes with this ROM) show in your app drawer; follow these steps (it worked for me):

1. download the google music 4.0.1 apk (the most recent version i found is 4.1.511 here on xda)

2. install the app (make sure you allow install from unknown resources in settings)

3. using your favorite file manager which allows root; go into /system/apps and rename music.apk to music.bak

you may need to reboot your phone (or refresh the launcher); but the steps above worked for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shotta35:
Why not just download it directly from the market? I did that and adb shell rm /system/app/Music.apk the other one and that works just fine for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eep2378:
It clearly states in op what works and what doesn't. I'm pretty sure codeworkx spent a fair amount of time before actually posting this experimental build. it may be helpful to post bugs, but from reading a considerable amount of this thread, it looks like the op is fixing what he "knows" needs fixing and then releasing subsequent builds as appropriate. Remember this is very early in the process by the ops own account, so, right now, its probably doesn't matter much what we say, until its beta or more stable.

Hey codeworx, what sorta stuff would the log contain if it had NITZ?

I have a couple of SIMs from different networks, so I could try them and then get my data activated on one that works...

Thanks!

Also,

like you said you won't be working much on the stuff till there's another helpful leak, since till then its a deadlock, is it possible that you make ICS Multi DPI compatible, since its currently in the nascent stage, it should be easier if its Multi DPI from the beginning...

Thanks again!
