You can carry on acting like a petty moderator if you want, but as you had a 3 page discussion on this thread about which phone you should buy next you're hardly an ideal candidate to be telling people what is on topic for this thread.

Firstly the page you've quoted from hasn't been updated since April (and clearly is no longer present in the OP of this thread), and since then we've had a release candidate build. This means the bug tracker has been brought into action and now bugs and enhancement requests are specifically allowed and encouraged. Before this it was pointless because the aim was to get the build stable and people were well aware of the bugs.

An example of where this thread has been useful for feature requests is the noise supression issue some people where having, resulting in people asking if it was possible to have an option o disable it, from this someone posted a feature request on the bug tracker code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=5663, and from there it has been seen and actioned. It sounds like a perfectly normal, constructive and productive use of the thread. Feature requests are an encouraged part of cyanogenmod now, they weren't previously before the release candidate.

cm 9-20120702-NIGHTLY

should I use a newer one??
[Galaxy S II General] :
1. It was a accident, never thought it would bring a 3 pages OT.

2. Yes, it can help a lot of people, and also, if it were outdated, they would update it.

3. No, feature requests are not accepted, as you can see on this link. Noise suppression toggle was because it was causing problems on some devices.
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Is it me or do pictures sometimes get put in the wrong order?

Not sure what's at fault either the CM9 camera or the Google Gallery app, but it reads one of my photos taken today as "7/19/2012" in Gallery. I looked at the directory in Windows and it shows that it's from today "7/15/2012." Is the EXIF information wrong or something? What's the issue?

Deactivate the sound for display off and on in settings. Solved the problem for me. Don't know if it eats battery up though.

I'm not seeing the H+ icon anymore since I installed CM9. Is that normal? I mean, does it not have a + (just an H)?

I was able to mount my external sd, but some of my .apks aren't showing up with root explorer.

Any suggestions?

The answer is a few posts above yours.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I just updated the newest nightly, fantastic. I remember about 10 nightlies back, they had fixed the issue where it could not detect the proper reception values (aokp/cm9 used to always display -89dm 12asu). Now the issue is back! I liked seeing the accurate values before! Is it something wrong with my phone? Or did they revert something back to the old settings?

[Galaxy S II General] Putzy:
And? At the end of a day it's a phone. Does it make phone calls? Yes. Does it send texts? Yes. Does your phone no longer work because a new operating system has been released? No.

As nice as JB would be, it's not exactly a necessary thing for us. If we get it officially, then great. If we don't, then I'm sure we'll get it eventually in some form.

I mean, if you want JB now, then you'll have to buy a Nexus, but as you just said, it's weaker hardware. And you'll look like a right fool _when_ Samsung release JB for us. ;)

external sd

Hello

the problem is that several apps are able to "see" only what is inside "/mnt/sdcard/" (that is, the internal sd) this way they could map the external sd if it were mounted over this path, ex: "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd". This apps are not able to "see" /emmc" neither /mnt/emmc.

How can i sort out this out?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Always use the latest. Then I don't know. If wifi is still on during sleep in BBS something is wrong for sure. Some dev may clarify...

If I would only want a phone that could make calls and send texts I would stick to my K530i. The thing is, I would buy the GNEX if I had money, just because of the quick releases from Google/devs. Plus, the proprietary blobs on the i9100 for the GPU makes it run much slower than on stock, which makes the GNEX and i9100 more equal to each other performance-wise. Plus the bigger HD screen + NFC + Open source.
[Galaxy S II General] AvRS:
I wish people would wake up and realise how lucky you actually are. It's easily forgotten but if xda wasn't here you'd still be running TW based ROM's and wouldn't be here BENEFITTING from the work the devs here do. There should be less moaning about your phone and what it can't do and what other phones can, you made the choice so live with it. No one here is obliged to provide you with anything, start paying them a wage and that could change but in the mean time just get on with using what you have available or please sell your phone and buy something else then you can go moan on that related device thread instead.

Think people just need a reality check some days so please stop with the constant moaning and act as if CM10 isn't coming then if it does before Samsung release anything including news you can then rejoice and be happy for a change.

I always say expect nothing....then you're less disappointed!

I think without XDA, most of us would have bought the GNex instead, to avoid the likes of Touchwiz. The complaints, at least from my point of view are on Samsung keeping source code tight to their chest, or using parts from vendors who don't open source their products. It makes a mockery of the whole nature of Linux and open source to me.

Personally I will be making the jump to a Nexus because I like how much more open things are, and to be honest the "drop" in hardware will not be noticed by me.

[Galaxy S II General] :
GSII + Android 10 will never be better than a Nexus + Android 4.1. Hardware is lower, but software makes it fly. What if CM10 be a disapointment? Codeworkx is tired of developing stuff to our "awesome" phone full of proprietary crap and exynos. Ok, not because he is tired, but because those proprietary crap and the rest can really fk the phone. He has the i9100G on one hand, and Nexus on the other. So I don't think some people want to move to nexus because of a faster jb, but because a great support, and the nexus will be supported for a long time. Even the nexus one got jb. And come on, grow up, do you really think Samsung will upgrade to jb? Even if they do, it will look like some 4.0.3 update to 4.0.4.

I flashed todays nightly and gapps just fine without any problems
[Galaxy S II General] franz kundera:
Read the post in the last two pages and you will see that when the latest nightly is flashed, Google Account is deleted from phone and many people found a solution by flashing GApps again and declaring a Google account to phone again. If such a problem did not occur, there would be no need to flash GApps while flashing a new nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
New nightly does seem to lose gapps, doesn't look like I lose any of "my" apps though, will report back if i find I have lost some.

Also comes with CWM 6.0.0.0.
[Galaxy S II General] sadonlyone:
Also doing a nandroid backup in /clockworkmod folder appears a new folder called /blobs (4607 files LOL) with strange properties like ~900mb (depends on backup size), but the original folder like /clockworkmod/backup/2012-07-16.09.59.42 is ~16mb size.

Older version of CWM 5.x.x.x worked fine, slower but fine. I guess I must do a clean fresh install, but I have no time for this to check it out.

cm-9-20120716-NIGHTLY is very fast now though.
[Galaxy S II General] RagingHarry:
Confirmed gapps indeed seem gona after flashing the new build, rest of apps remain as they were.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
The way nandroids work in CM6 has been changed, you get the "meat" of the backup once, and the rest are incremental, so should save space in the long run.

So, when backing up the backup, make sure to grab the blobs folder as well.
[Galaxy S II General] franz kundera:
Apart from the Google applications problem, 16-07 nightly is the best one I have seen so far due to its responsiveness, speed and smoothness.

Camera settings menu problem? It still exists there.
[Galaxy S II General] Floydfire:
Coming by 13july to latest nightly doesn't need full wipe, I'm right? Also using siyah/dorimanx kernel on the last can cause problem because of cwm older?

Of course, but I like to keep my backup folders into computer so now takes some time to copy all ~4000 files from blops...

Another thing, doing another nandroid backup what will happens with blops folder ?! It will be flashed and overwrite or what? Another ~4000 files? Some new things odd for the moment...

Yeah, some ~4000 uncompressed file will eat a lot of space... Something is not really fine.

P.S. I'm afraid to do a nandroid restore, I'm sure that will be again some issues :D
[Galaxy S II General] YOSEFE:
Is it your experience also that Google Backup does not restore your apps on the latest nightly?

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

I have also seen this. It could be that the file is yet to be uploaded or the time has got to match the one on the file date? So maybe another 30 minutes? I don't know, but I think so.

[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
In theory blobs should stay consistent, any extra stuff should end up in the smaller backup, but to be honest the documentation on CWM is pretty poor, unless I am missing something.

The blobs folder is not any larger than a signal old style CWM backup as far as I can tell, and you only need it once so the overall size wins should be pretty good.

As far as copying.. yes thats going to be a bit of a pain.

I will make another backup and see if the blobs folder changes and report back.

No I haven't tested restore to be honest.

And when you make a new backup, the blobs folder does change, it increased in size by about 20MB, plus the 16.65MB of the backup folder, this does make it more of a pain to copy backups off your phone, as you have to make sure you have the correct blob folder. :(

Less usage of on device storage, more pain to backup backups
[Galaxy S II General] :
Maybe because all mount/unmount lines are gone? The backuptool runs before a mounting line on the update-script, and CWM must mount system before the backup commands.

Anyway, CWM Recovery new background is too iPhonish [actually is from iPhone]...
