You don't have to!

Flashing with CWM allow you to keep the "old" bootloader and it's this one you have to use with CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
You need flash botloader with Odin, not all Rom.

I'm running the new 0320 release as posted a few pages back and when i try to go to /sdcard/external_sd in Astro or ES explorer, it doesnt show anything? Its doing this when the sd card is mounted and USB isnt connected

I know there is definitely files on the external sd as I can view them through MTP on my pc...

Am I being special?
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Nobody knows for sure.

Samsung never provides changelog:-)

Flash the latest....

modem is depend on which region ... on ICS Leaks is Open Europe regions so i can assume that modem list on first page is European region ...

but you can use it but for me the best performance is using my region modem Taiwan LPE :D
[Galaxy S II General] XZQ't:
MTP

For MTP to work, you will need

1) Codeworkx's build, NOT the get.cm build.

2) If you don't have the CM9 boot animation, you don't have Codeworkx build, thus your MTP will not work.

2) For Mac User, use Android File Transfer from http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

Mine is working fine on Mac Air Mid 2011 + Lion
[Galaxy S II General] jonlad1:
MTP is working fine.

I just cant see whats on my external sd when browsing in-phone

hi guys.. noobish question here, is there a way to setup 3G/HSDPA/HSUPA connection only and not GPRS/EDGE? i cant seem to find it in the settings here. please help. thanks
[Galaxy S II General] jonlad1:

Seems there is some bootloader problems at the moment... can I flash from CM 7.2 to the latest nightly without any issues? Other than video recording everything works, ri8?
[Galaxy S II General] snappy123:
YES boots now with kp2 bootloader ..

however no apn settings also cannot add new apn settings

also scrolling a bit weird
[Galaxy S II General] beastytech:
Plex

Please don't flame me about this being in the wrong place if it is, but it's somewhat related to this ROM.

Anyone have Plex working in CM9?

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running KANG's CM9 build (might be irrevillent) and Plex works like a dream on that, I might be stupid but i'm just assuming, samsung + samsung + CM9 , should work right? lol

If anyone has it working somehow I would appreciate some help in getting it going, if the answer is just wait, then so be it :)

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] EVERMIND:
You don't need to add apn, just reboot the phone once, the apn will work.
[Galaxy S II General] kcdcmd:
Okay guys, been doing a little searching and reading, but before I take the plunge I thought I'd clarify.

In order to flash the latest nightly, a new bootloader is needed. As provided by XplodWilD at http://t.co/mhbp7q8Z , download that and then flash via Odin. And you also need this new bootloader to use Codeworkx's version, which has fixed MTP.

All good?
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
LPQ the last.

Good one
[Galaxy S II General] beastytech:
Thanks mate, Giving LPQ a go now, speedtest.net is my friend :)

Shame i'm in a shocking are for testing so I will give it a go tonight, hoping for better performance over KL1 but looking at forum posts people seems to like KL1 better in Brisbane :)

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

[Galaxy S II General] sam razzy:
Can anyone temme a guide on detail how to restart the Wi-Fi router?
[Galaxy S II General] beastytech:
I've been using it for ages now, and I can tell you for me personally it is 10000% more stable than CM7 stable. Sounds strange but yes, a nightly is more stable than a Stable release, go figure :)

What can I say, ICS wrocks!
[Galaxy S II General] sam razzy:
What is ICS BOOTLOOADER?

Sorry for been noobish... I found this is a new... I already know about gb and froyo rom from i9000 threads... now ics boot loader is a new way of experience :D
[Galaxy S II General] mynameisjon:
no.

If you flashed a Stock ICS firmware via odin, then you need the bootloader posted by xplodwild because you would have the LPQ bootloader and LPQ bootloader will cause the non-booting.

If you have NEVER flashed anything ICS by odin, you should be fine without the new bootloader.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Seriously, do everyone a favor, and keep away from CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] Kristion:
Yeah, it is stable no doubt, but still has some key features missing as opposed to CM7 stable. Heck, not even CM7 didn't reach to a stable ROM ( not that it wasn't stable enough, but because the devs are very exigent with them and want to do a proper work).

If we don't take in consideration the known bugs I can say that yes, CM9 it's more of a daily driver than CM7 was, after fixing the MTP I can see a bright future ahead.

I also finally managed to flash the ics bootloader with Odin by putting the file at the PDA section, the one kindly provided by XplodWilD http://t.co/mhbp7q8Z so that I could be sure that I'm running on the correct bootloader and flashed back the latest nightly.

It would be nice if these instrucions could be wriiten on the first page, smth like: Odin> PDA> download link> voila

@mynameisjon: From what I've been reading, the firmwares on Intratech's thread do not come with the new bootloader, it is mentioned in the op and also by intratech himself, I've quoted him in a previous post. I think that you can get ICS bootloader only by flashing a firmware provided by sammobile or the ones that come directly from kies servers.

To make things simple for all of us and to end this discussion, it would be best if everyone would flash the ICS bootloader provided by XplodWilD : http://t.co/mhbp7q8Z and download an old bootloader ( I've downloaded one from here https://rapidshare.com/#!download|6...7z|424|R~C0D4110806AC102C34DD78897680F5C3|0|0) just in case it will ever be needed in order to reset the counter with a JIG, it's a simple process anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] sam razzy:
If you know this just temme how.. or if u don't wanna help me then move away... I have problems with my wifi in the latest build... :D so help needed...
[Galaxy S II General] sam razzy:
It means I don't need any bootloader ;)
[Galaxy S II General] beastytech:
Thinking I might give this a go now, so.. did you mean Odin > Bootloader > Download Link u provided in your post > Start?

Or do you have to add it to the PDA button?

Cheers

EDIT: Sorry just saw the post above, I should be ok.
[Galaxy S II General] AndyTang:
version 20120319 and 20120320 I find the monitor touch not much sensitive
[Galaxy S II General] zoran123:
So now, when is cm9 almost finished, will cm devs make CM11,I cant wait for it?
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I agree with him, but I'll still tell you. You plug it off then back on, or press the reset button on the back with a pen or something thin enough.

Not sure if serious or not...

CM8 was supposed to be HoneyComb, there were no sources however so no CM8. CM10 would be Jellybean, supposedly only for tablets again. Please just stop with ETA's, one rule and some just can't respect that single rule.
[Galaxy S II General] Kristion:
It doesn't matter if it's PDA or BOOTLOADER section :), I've put it on the PDA just for convenience as I've always flasehd with Odin this way.

Samsung's letter code is explained more detailed somewhere, google it.

XXLPQ

The first two letters indicate the region. In this case "Open Europe".

The other letters indicate the build date.

Due to cell broatcast being internationally standardized it shouldn't matter which region you choose.

XXLPQ however is the latest modem and one should always start with that. (modem==base and)

Some say it is depending on your provider which modem fits best. IMHO that's voodoo crap.

But you can give it a try.

Find a modem from your provider here: http://www.samfirmware.com/
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
The bootloader doesn't affect such things.. In fact it shouldn't even cause problems with ROMs. Touch is the kernel's job, the bootloader only starts the kernel/hardware. It's the first software to start, hence why it's the only way to brick most phones.

Is there any way to get more languages in the stock keyboard?
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
There is a way, a little bit primitive but it works.

Using User Dictionary Manager:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.usr.dict.mgr&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS51c3IuZGljdC5tZ3IiXQ..

You can edit yout user dictionary, by importing a simple work list in txt from your language to your phone. This way you get a half solution till someone fix the ability to import more languages like GNexus has (i think).

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

Reading a post elsewere I found what we are waiting for:

• Last time I said regarding KP8 that it was hell of a lot better, now I've to say it again, much better than previous KP8, and more stable of course.

• Phone calls were great, loud enough earpiece volume. Noise reduction is present usually.

• Vibration intesity is same as GB, which is great, and believe me or not RT volumes seems louder than before , by before I mean GB!

• Incoming call UI is same as before, answer/reject sliding animations still don't work!

• Phone signal is solid, stable. 3G working fine, same goes for WiFi and BT.

• Stock browser is just getting better and better, smooth, some guys will definitely hate the new elastic type scrolling, I kinda like it, sites went well with flash, pinch to zoom smooth as hell, no lag in any place. Brilliant all over. No Exit button still.

• All the TW widgets are same as before, so not wasting time saying here again.

• 480x800 wallpapers are working fine, finally, which is a big relief for me. LWP works fine too, but not smooth as GB, some lags here and there.

• Market and downloading works fine. Download GO launcher and used it as default, no problem.

• Camera and Video recorder works all fine.

• Lockscreen ICS lock is still looks weird. Just swiping the screen unlocks the device!, don't know what's the point of ICS lock icon then.

• Swype is here Version 3.25.91 and it works great as usual.

• GPS lock is fine.

• YouTube videos plated well, but some lags are there.

• 1080P MKV files ran with audio, lag is prominent, so if someone watches HD videos regularly then it will be a PITA.

No interest to try other players like MX or else, but I don't think it will work fine either.

• Unread SMS icon is same as before (KP8). Missed call icon is finally here in LS. See attachments.

• Connection with PC worked at first time.

• Believe me or not phone Shut down time was damn fast, less than 5 seconds.

• Used it for 90+ minutes and there was no FC! Some lags are here and there, but not a single FC with any app.

• Mobile Odin worked before flashing and after rooting with CF it worked again. SU and CWM is there as usual.

• Allover UI smoothness was great IMO.

• Developer Options are present there as usual.

There maybe a surprise coming ahead :)

Hey guys,

I'm on the build from the 6th, and have been running smoothly, no problem at all!

no FCs, no random reboots,np!

however, this morning I was on the phone and slided down the notification bar and tapped on the Wi-Fi toggle to turn it on,

all of a sudden the screen went black and entered into kernel panic upload mode!!

it was making weird static sounds so i pulled the battery and rebooted and all is fine now....

what just happened? what is kernel panic upload mode? tried to search for it but no one really knew what it is.... will it happen again? i'm scared to turn wi-fi on again... =(

no explanation as to why but it happened.
