Mp3 as ringtone/notification

Been on CM9 "Stable" since its release, no problems up until now.

All of a sudden, there was only a "beep" sound when an SMS came in. I checked in Settings > Sound

Both "Phone ringtone" and "Default notification" showed "Unknown ringtone", and when I tried to change it back to the original mp3s I had set earlier, they're no longer in the list!

I put mp3 files in /sdcard/Notifications and /sdcard/Ringtones. The files are still there...

Any idea what could have caused this?
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
There are places around the world where it is illegal for a camera phone to not make any noise when taking a photo. It's a law to stop people sneakily taking photos, all a bit 'nanny state' really. I seriously doubt that there is anywhere where the punishment for having a silent camera is a long jail term though, maybe for the actual taking of an indecent photo but not for the actual functionality of the phone.

Liability wise I don't think it would be possible for CyanogenMod to be liable, there is a clear warning when you turn off camera sounds.
[Galaxy S II General] bettypayne:
It's alright now. I might be wrong, but the earlier ROM Manager app upgrade could've been the cause. There was a 2nd upgrade after the first one. Rebooted and all is fine now :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Another reason why ROM Manager should not be used on SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
So I still don't understand, does it means that they was that bug in the version CM 9.0.0?

Or something went wrong in flashing after the old nightly?

How come we are only 2 to have seen that issue, people did not report it?

If they was that bug and it has been corrected in the next 2 nightlies, why it's not in the changelog?

Thanks,

The galaxy S2 is my first android device who received an official Cyanogenmod but its also the first android device were stock rom give me best performance.

With stock I can watch divx with hardware decoding and XBMC performance is way better.
[Galaxy S II General] bettypayne:
So when I copy media files (e.g. mp3) from another path /sdcard/example to /sdcard/Ringtones

Then I go to Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone, the copied file is not in the list. I need to reboot in order for it to refresh itself?

I started using CM9 since the April nightlies and didn't experience this back then. Never changed my tones ever since.

Can anyone try this?
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
That because Samsung has paid good money for those codecs & that's why you will only get them in stock ROM's. If your so happy with a stock ROM just because you can play a few videos then I suggest you stick with it.
[Galaxy S II General] nsmart:
Nothing went wrong while flashing. From what I found in the forums: there was a feature freeze when cm9 RC started. RCs and nightlies are not built from same code tree. I have never seen a changelog for cm9 RCs, only for the nightlies. I used cm9 stable for 2 days and to me it was everything but stable (had several reboots within 2 days). Since I switched back to the nightlies, my device is running stable again. :) I think people don't report the issue, because most of them switched to cm10 preview and the others keep with the nightles (just a guess).
[Galaxy S II General] robdood:
The only time I've had this happen to me is when I've changed the 'Use Internal Storage' option (in Storage Settings > press menu button > storage configuration). Have you messed with that at all?

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

Well, in Japan they have to have female-only train carriages because of their.. er.. 'social issues' so I understand why a law regarding shutter speed may exist in some places.

However, since you can just mute your phone to mute the shutter makes removing the camera setting a bit pointless! The setting even used to have a disclaimer! A bit frustrating for us non-upskirt-on-the-train types.
[Galaxy S II General] bettypayne:
Well, I didn't change that configuration. "Use internal storage" is checked now.
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
Erm thanks but by "stable" I meant that version:

Available from there:

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2 So it's a "nightly" in itself...

Samsung Galaxy S2	stable cm-9.0.0-galaxys2.zip 131.87 MB	2012-08-10 07:10:44.

If you look, the next "nightly" is exactly the same size...

I doubt it's a different version especially that they said it's generated every night (the nightly thing).
[Galaxy S II General] edbertin:
Wanna figure out how to create folders on apps menu, didnt found a way to do, I know that we can have it on homescreen.

This feature is AOSP, or Samsung thing?

With 3rd party app is possilbe?

Tks
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Try nova launcher
[Galaxy S II General] terrormattie:
Aaah I already thougd something like that, thanks for your explanation!

And no I am not happy with the stock rom thats the whole point.:o

Lets hope that when XMBC actually comes out it would runs equal on CM9.

I got one more question; Since the S2 has got official ICS all official hardware drivers are in CM9 right? Like no hack has been done to make certain hardware work. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Samsung Touchwiz ICS drivers are not 100% AOSP compatible so there are a few workarounds to fix some of the compatibility issues, most of these things are completely invisible in the finished product, but you might run into an oddity or two, doesn't detract at all from the operation of the ROM however.
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Uhm? But it's a feature in CyanogenMod... I saw it in my Nexus S. It's a feature in the changelog. I'm asking why it didn't make it to SGS2 CM9.... The legality of it is a totally separate issue as it varies from location to location. Clearly you can already silence the shutter in silent mode.
[Galaxy S II General] kreygor:
CM 9.0.0 stable

Any use for the ROM Manager on CM9 ? Says it needs CWM installed, but i believe CM9 already has one.

Tried to install CWM from the rom manager couple of times, it appears to download but force closes in the end..
[Galaxy S II General] chris2busy:
everything working fine for me in nightly 20120815 EXCEPT for pc connectivity. in MTP it can see both cards but in internal no files are shown inside (external is fine)..in mass storage it shows both disks as greyed out storage units (if u double click to open, it says "insert media storage for drive X:/ )

truly broken.tried with fresh install too
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
In UMS you get the error you stated when you don't mount the device.

Other than to download ROM's it hasn't got anything else useful at all & Rom Managers recovery causes a lot of problems on our phones. I just delete it but that up to you.

What modem are you using? Have you tried different modems?
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Downland an app called getRIL from the Play store & match your RIL & baseband version or just try different modems till you get a one that doesn't crash for you.
[Galaxy S II General] shadowcaster31:
I am having this missing sound files problem as well. Didn't do anything in particular except turning off my phone and turning it back on again.

All my sound files were working properly in CM9 since a week ago and now suddenly it's missing!

Anyone has a proper explanation or solution for this?
[Galaxy S II General] R3Map:
Had the same issue after updating ROM Manager from the app store. It was inserting .nomedia on the root of the SD card when it couldnt find a specific folder. I uninstalled ROM Manager, deleted .nomedia from the SD Card root and rebooted, all worked fine after that.
[Galaxy S II General] tricky-tricky:
Anyone having issues with the Gallery on 20120815 nightly? No longer displays any photos or videos I have. Does display google+ photos only.
[Galaxy S II General] $wissdroid:
@ trickytricky

Update RomManager

Sometimes.

This App had an Error, that it create a .nomedia files in the Ordner of your Photos. The new Update from Yesterday change this. Contol this.
[Galaxy S II General] Catalyst47:
Hey there. Even though I am running the stable release of CM9, I did notice my gallery load my albums about a minute or two later, which is quite odd, but I'm not complaining. I suggest waiting a few minutes or menu > refresh. If nothing then I may have to suggest waiting for the next nightly or doing a wipe and reflashing. Hope everything turns out well.
[Galaxy S II General] shadowcaster31:
actually i noticed many ppl are still saying that this bug still exists even after the latest update so i uninstalled ROM manager. ;)

Clear gallery app data and reboot your phone. It should solve missing/inconsistent images in the gallery app.
[Galaxy S II General] Psyloid:
I got a bit of a problem with cm9. It works perfect but battery drains like hell and most is used by 'android os' it beats 'display' which is normally n1 drainer. I tried googeling for a fix, but all i find is ppl with the same problem and that it is smth with a driver and a process hanging (forgot the details) and that it's on official sammy ics roms as well. Is there a fix for this ??

Ps: i dont gave it on cm10, but thay rom is not stable enough yet ..
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Disable Chrome sync.

Disable Tilt scrolling in Chrome's Developer tools.

Next, install BetterBatteryStats and track down you issues yourself.
[Galaxy S II General] dinko.rac:
I dont now how uninstalled ROM manager. Can you please help me?
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Download Titanium Backup from Play Store and uninstall it within the app.
[Galaxy S II General] wanewon:
does anyone know how to get face unlock on CM9 stable?
[Galaxy S II General] tricky-tricky:
Hold the app until you see the uninstall warning and click OK... That only brings the rommanager version back to stock version but that was enough for me to fix the problem...
[Galaxy S II General] Tom Fagerland:
I'm used to doubleclicking the home button to get voice search. How can I get this back in CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] edbertin:
Go to system settings, security, lock screen, screen security. But if you have a vpn connection you not allow to use face unlock, since it requires high to very high protection (i think so).
[Galaxy S II General] rapozaum:
What's the best way to reinstall the CM9 from 0, so I clean up my cellphone and still restore my apps?

Thought about backing up via CWM, doing a fullwipe and restoring the backup via CWM, also.

How wrong is this?
[Galaxy S II General] ibm9001:
Backing up and restoring via CWM wouldn't clean anything up as it backs up *everything*. Titanium Backup is probably your best bet.
[Galaxy S II General] Packsman:
No,not with cwm,you can backup your apps with Titanium,do factory reset,install cm9 and then restore apps via titanium
[Galaxy S II General] nsmart:
If you want a clean start, you should do a factory reset in cwm (which formats data and cache partition) and format your sd-storage. Beware: you loose all your data. Now you can start from scratch which means you should not restore anything if you don't want to restore problems from your old configuration too.

Backing up via cwm doing a fullwipe an restoring the backup via cwm does not make sense. You would have the same configuration as before (no cleanup).
[Galaxy S II General] rapozaum:
So this is extremely wrong. Lol

Thanks for replying so fast, guys.

As said everywhere, TTB ain't well supported in CM9.

What if I restore only the data? Does this decreases the chances of misbehaving?

Also, doing this factory reset via CWM, Will I need to flash the CM9 Ressurection again, via ODIN, then flash CM9 last nightly via CWM?

Sorry if these questions are dumb...
[Galaxy S II General] Psyloid:

i've got a little question, that might have been asked be4, but i didnt really find an answer that fittet me.

so, i was thinking about getting CM9 on my sgs2. im still on stock at the moment, and got it rooted.

my question is, when i flash cm9 from 0, ill have to wipe everything on my phone. can i then restore everything again? (things like contacts, sms, apps, sms, pics, etc.) and what, if its possible, would be the best way to do this?

and sorry for my noobishness!

2g/3g toggle or apn bug

whenever i toggle between 2g and 3g, the download speeds on speedtest using 3g falls to a dismal 0.5Mbps. It seems falsely limited to 0.5Mbps. To correct this problem, I need to go to settings and reselect the same APN. Then the speed would shoot back to 'normal' 3g speeds of >0.5Mbps.

Screenshots attached. All speedtests were at the same location.

anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy S II General] edbertin:
I don't have this problem my low speed is 3G (UMTS), only thing I notice after change from 3G to HSDPA is the ping. But stabilized in the next test.
[Galaxy S II General] jgcaap:
Why is there more nightlies after the final version? Wich one is better? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
There is an explanation on the CM site. There were some extra fixes required for some phones that were to be added after the final.

Nothing that interests us.
[Galaxy S II General] jgcaap:
thank you very much for the quick reply. Well i got the last nightlies flashed, has got no diference in optimization or anything with the RC right? :) i just want to know if i have to change. thanks

There are some bug fixes in the newer cm9 nightlies that are relevant to all phones so that's not entirely true. Minor stuff though like a flashing gps indicator

Volume

I just want to ask, does everybody's (or anybody's besides me) phone switch to completely silent instead of "vibrate only" when using the vol(-) hardware button at the lowest ringer volume? If it's not a problem on my side I'm gonna make a feature request...

thanks for answering
[Galaxy S II General] antonyfl:
Hey guys,

I dont know why but apparently I accidentally partitioned the internal memory into 2 gigs and 11.6 gigs. I would not have noticed this if it were not for my ringtones, etc. not functioning (since it is reading all those media files from SD card, and the 2 gigs of partitioned internal storage and neglecting the 11.6). How do i join this/ fix this?

I am running the latest nightly of CM9, I have already tried restoring, formating and installing the resurection edition
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
I think u need to flash a pit file

Still wait for people to confirm
[Galaxy S II General] camrhodes:
There are a few different versions of the usb port i had to send mine to Samsung in the end as Samsung has a 3 year warranty in NZ it did mean completely going back to stock though and being without the phone for a week. If you do buy one check the version number matches or is greater than you already have otherwise it will cause more probs :(
[Galaxy S II General] edbertin:
Mine go to vibrate and after to silence. I using latest nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] antonyfl:
Which pit file?
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
That's how it has ALWAYS been & you say you have noticed a change now without doing anything? You clearly don't know your phone. You can only repartition the phone with a pit file & CM does come with one. About your issue check if you have a .nomedia file in the root of your internal storage.

Understand the question before telling him to do something crazy as flashing a pit file.
[Galaxy S II General] kemikelx:
There has always been 2gb of internal memory and 12gb of sdcard memory called sdcard. Do you have external card?

Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps+data.... However, seeing as you couldn't figure out how to simply backup and restore apps across roms. I'm thinking CM is not for you.. Be prepared to lose some stock functionality though.. Don't ask what, just read, read & read..

It's not that important, but just curious why.

Isn't stable and cm-9-20120819-NIGHTLY the same? since it has been allways the same size now since stable came, so think its not an upgrade just that it countines to push nightlies in some reason :P

or is there any different between this new cm-9-20120819-NIGHTLY and cm9 stable? :D
[Galaxy S II General] devilkin:
User installed apps I have restored with data without any problems. Some might give you issues if they have been badly written and have the folder paths hard coded. If you have issues with a specific app just clear its data.

System apps are another story. If you are coming from a different rom don't restore any system app as it's most likely gonna give issues.

On the odd occasion that I redo my CM fresh with a full format I haven't had any problems restoring the data of a few specific system apps. Things like wifi access points and Apn settings and emails + settings with the stock mail app.

It won't hurt to try, if something is not working right after the restore then just wipe and don't restore again.

Best way to learn is to play around until u break something and then figure out how to fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
They are different. But nothing major, CWM update and flashing GPS icon being the main differences.

Ignore zip size, it is not a relevant measure of change.

I am on CM9 from august 10 and I use Thoravukk kernel 0.39.

If I charge my phone while it's turned on and I leave it for some time, I lose network. When I pick up the phone again, the only way to get network back is to unplug the charger... I have tried with many modems and still have the problem. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance

Almost certainly a kernel problem. You won't get any support for this in this thread as it's for stock kernel only, so either post your issue in the thread of the custom kernel you are using, or go back to the stock cm9 kernel

2. verry lov usb data transfer when i connect phone to pc, i have transfers between 1000 and 1500kb, is some solution to speed up it?

I've seen that some kernel processes lags the entire phone: kswapd0 and mmcqd/0 (I've checked "Show CPU usage" in Settings > Developer options)

Temporary solution is reboot..

I am on a new nightly (15.08). Tried wipe cache & dalvik and reflashed the latest nightly 1-2 days ago. I haven't observed this behavior on a previous nightly (one from May, don't remember exactly..)

I'm using the stock kernel, no kernel tuning
