[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
I'm a bit confused with the bootloaders. Can someone clarify if I flash the KP2 bootloader, linked in the first post... can I flash Samsung's ICS ROM on that? And then flash CM9, and everything working fine? Or Samsung's ROM needs something newer?
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
That´s a fix 4u?
[Galaxy S II General] drumy123:
Screen won't go to sleep mode

The screen is set to go to sleep after 15 seconds, but it just stays on. does anyone what to do?
[Galaxy S II General] TeraJL:
NO!

that's actually look good, and it's kind of a funny idea, :p but i like to play around with the faces effect, don't remove all the camera functions, just remove the actual record button or the function or something
[Galaxy S II General] Uss_Defiant:
Everything in the camera app will be working now.
[Galaxy S II General] Nomoi:
If you flash samsungs rom through odin it will install another bootloader, if you want to come back to CM9 (build 0319 or newer) you need to flash the KP2 bootloader first. Other than that, it doesn't matter what bootloader you're on.
[Galaxy S II General] fayezkhan555:
thats great will we get a nightly for this today??
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
Which mean there won't be video rec function in cm9 anymore right?

That's sad
[Galaxy S II General] fayezkhan555:
Will anybody describe whats going on here.Problem solved means what???
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
I think its a nice idea.Once we have dual boot from gokhan we can dual boot to stock when user needs video recording.Instead of wasting time on video recording dev can spend time in making it perfect with other features of CM9
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
But there wasn't working video recording in the first place, so removing won't make any difference

Posted by Rumble via XDA premium app on my gsII running CM9 Ice cream Sandwich!! YEAH BABY!! WOOOO

Hehehehehe loool!!! I xD

[Galaxy S II General] goTouch:
Best solution for now!

Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with Samsung! For me, SGS3 is already dead.
[Galaxy S II General] TeraJL:
they will remove the filming function of the camera app... it will not fix anything and people instead of asking about "why the f* the camera crashes?" will start asking "why the f* there is no filming option?".. and start to get even more confused... i wope this means nothing.. i dont mind waiting for the camera even if it take some months, but i hope they don't stop working on it from time to time... i spend 700euros , so i hope sooner or later i get main functions working...
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
Fully agreed! Just hope they dun give up on video rec from time to time.
[Galaxy S II General] Nushio:
This has been said before, but it is worth repeating.

VideoCam Illusion works on CM9. You can record videos with it.

Can you at least read one lousy page back? Seriously wtf? It was a joke people
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Yes u can

If u have XXLPH - XXLPQ bootloader then u will bootloop after flashing cm9,older bootloaders works on every rom

700, I didn't know buying this phone gave me the right to have a fully stable CM7/9.

There was me thinking that upon purchase I would get what I paid for a Samsung phone with a Samsung rom with everything working.
[Galaxy S II General] mddmx:
IMHO this latest update is the best thing that has happened to my phone!

Thank you codeworkx ...
[Galaxy S II General] TeraJL:
i knew someone would point that out :P , when i said the price i was talking to myself , i wasn't blaming on CM , to blame CM i needed to blame samsung first because they get the money and should help CM to make our phones as a big amount of people want... when i told about paying a big amount for this phone i was pointing out that if they gonna cut out the camera development i may(or may not) need to go to sh*tty official rom.. because on the summer i will probably need the camera.. i paid a big amount for the camera so i will probably use it... until there i will use CM9 because it's over 9000 times better than official
[Galaxy S II General] PedroMRP:
Just a quick answer... How can I see the version of the bootloader?
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
I read some pages back that a guy was testing the new 3.025 kernel and had some problems with it. Codeworkx read his logcat and saw he was using an old bootloader and recommended him using the bootloader in OP. So better update to the bootloader in OP as the new kernel will probably be in the new nightly...:)

EDIT: I was using the gb bootloader and just updated it to the one in OP. The process was quite easy and no hiccups here...
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
3.0.25 kernel + cat /proc/last_kmsg

Does someone know someone who wants to buy a I9100?

Samsung probably just looks at it this way though:

Number of galaxy s2's sold = 20,000,000

Percentage of users using cyanogenmod = 0.26%
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
but dont we want codeworkx to keep his phone so he can continue development for s2;)
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
lol yes

I don't think he will sell his phone

codeworkx look us
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
lol, bastard :-P
[Galaxy S II General] TeraJL:
soo... no one to blame, just hope that samsung listen to 0.26% of the people, or hope that CM team don't stop thinking about filming, get a really nice idea and make the the filming function to work...

everyone is right, no reason the flame this thread because the camera is not working, and hope for the best... while i know they are trying i'm happy with it.. if they are not (what i doubt), on the summer i may start crying and start bleeding from eyes looking to thouchwiz
[Galaxy S II General] Uss_Defiant:
You spent 700 euro's for Samsung hardware and Samsung support....you're getting exactly that.
[Galaxy S II General] TeraJL:
i paid for samsung hardware, suport and official functional rom, if it works, i got what i paid(and it does)... now, i'm just praying to get something better... CM9 has a big amount of better features than samsung, if i start to need samsung features i may need to change... what i'm saying is that i hope i don't need to make that choice, so i'm hoping to get the best of both CM9(everything), and samsung(can record)... if my phone had a vga camera, i wouldn't mind to trow out those cents i paid for the vga... but its a much bigger amount of money i paid for the 8mpx camera, so i may as well use it sooner or later
[Galaxy S II General] sadonlyone:

WOa,... i just flashed 0322 nightly, and WTF! the colours are so strange on this build! the ICS blue is this strange, faded, pastelly blue when in Movie mdnie mode (which i've been using for the past all builds).

anyway.. so far all other things seem ok :)

Camera

Cyanogen is the most professional work about custom roms in Galaxy SII. No doubts about it.

I think that is little time to us demanding that every problem was solved after kernel sources.

I think that a good progress was made in this 5 days.

I also trust that somewhere in time that video recording will be available. Also Tv-out, a nice feature in Galaxy.

But i'm not hurry. I use 0314 and it's very good. Only battery that I hope a little more time before it runs out. But its ok.

Thanks.

bootloader doubt

Hello, i`ve been reading this forum for a while, and thanks to your comments i manage to flash CM9 in my SGS2 and im really pleased with its features, specially with with the lack of touchwiz :D

Anyway beside of the known issues, im a little confuse with the posts that refers to the bootloaders.

In my case i flashed my phone with the stock ROM available on sammobile the day they came out (I9100XXLPQ), after the shock of noticing this was "almost the same" thing as my previous 2.3 ROM i decided to flash CM9, but i didn't flash back to my previous ROM before doing it.

So here is my doubt. As i read on the main thread and previous post, i should have a bootloader different from LPH or LPQ in order to flash CM9, but as i have flashed I9100XXLPQ i should be using LPQ bootloader (my fault). but i did flash CM9 successfully and i didn't have bootloop problems or anything, the only problem i had (beside the known issues) was that i wasn't able to install Google Maps, i did flash Gapps 3/17, but i wasn't able to find the Maps app in Google Play, and even when i did find it through web market, i wasn't able to install it as it says that the app wasn't available on my country.

Did the LPQ bootloader has anything to do with this??, was unexpected that i was able to install CM9 on LPQ with no problems?

Excuse my English if i write it wrong, and thanks to everyone making CM9 possible on S2, having Samsung ROM really makes CM9 essential.
[Galaxy S II General] Droum:
You are having it now... but how about in 6 months?

And tell the same to the guys that bought the 9000 or the galaxy tab 7.

What was the latest version Samsung made available for those? You know what versions are they able to run thanks to the Android Community?

We can't predict the future, but I wouldn't be surprised if after Galaxy SIII launch official releases for Galaxy SII would come to a halt. Ok... maybe they still launch 4.0.5 for the SII. If CM9 even without video recording is awesome now, imagine it next year, after samsung stops updating it. Who do you think will keep your phone updated? (hopefullly the same guys that are banging their heads against a wall trying to fix video recording, but I wouldn't bet on it either).

Giving Galaxy SII to CM team was a nice RP stunt, nothing more.

It would be great to see them give real support to devs that are improving their own products. Well, welcome to planet Earth.

Try flashing it as PDA instead of boot loader :-)
[Galaxy S II General] sadonlyone:
@sleepyrohan

repeat all steps again, but before do wipe data, cache, factory defaults, dalvik...
[Galaxy S II General] Ogy77:
This man have right,go in stock recovery and full wipe then flash stock rom via Odin,then root phone and flash CM9 via CWM recovery and you have nice and great phone and rom,personal experience:) !!!
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Running lpq bootloader shouldn't be an issue with gapps however , assuming ur using nightly 19 or earlier, in order to update ur nightly build u will have to flash to a bootloader prior to LPH. the one that's posted in the OP is ur best option. Put it on the PDA slot in Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
i decided to get a S2 when i read in news that samsung gave cyanogen mod devs s2 to work on

i hope they come back

Would be nice to have more devs.

Srsly, > 20 mio users and NO DEVS????? Can't be true.

Even MIUI went to the dark side and does winzipping instead of real development. Ok, they never did something helpful.

Then played a little bit with C#, C++ and .NET.

Played with Linux, liked it more and more.

Started to compile CM from sources.

Started modifying stuff by Trial & Error.

Did the i9000 port for CM7

Still a C, C++, Java Noob.

Did the i9100 CM7 port

People, take in account that not everybody is good at English and are unable to get sarcasm. Maybe using emoticons after a phrase can convey the real purpose of it.

Did that before. No change.

I don't think it's carrier related as I had issues before with the carrier and never lasted this bad. In any case I'm analyzing usage and seems that the screen is mostly the culprit, even when I use auto-brightness as you. That's why I asked about the sensor usage to put off the screen when stored.

Can't wait to see what this rom will be like in a few weeks. Fantastic work Codeworkx & XplodWiLd.

So. Cheated a little out of curiosity and tried Siayh kernel released today with the possibility to change the "vitalij-value". Ie change the standard 5px "slack" value before the screen reacts and does what one want when swiping, for instance. Setting that to direct, 0px, made a DRAMATIC change in the UI experience.

Open question from someone not knowing the priorities, but is this something you X and C will look at in 3.0.15 or 3.0.25?

BLN, ok not a priority; but such a huge impact in usability surely must be tempting?

5 px is a default "Vitalij value" in custom fixed kernels as Siyah and others. In stock kernels and in CM 9 kernels so far it's much higher. According to Touchmove app it is 16-17 px on the latest CM 9 kernels.

Could "touch responsivenes" be adjustable in advanced device settings on "screen tab"? Is it possible to make some fixes to the CM9 kernel?

Good evening,

I'm french, so excuse me if my english is too bad...

Well, I'm on Cyanogen since few days and I really, really love it !

But, I have a question, and a supposition... !

You know the apk "Cyanogen Music", right ? I have it, and really, it's amazing !

But, I don't have pictures of album ("pochette" or "jaquette" in french) and it's boring to see a simple grey disc...

So, why you don't use a "search picture", you know, like in the application 3 ? (it's an audio player too)

It's very useful ! But if you have an idea to pute pictures of albums in this application, please tell me !
