[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Does Wifi drop out a lot for you guys? I seem to drop wifi a lot as I walk around my campus building. I know reception isn't perfect but my old Nexus S maintains connection all the way through. It seems the phone doesn't like to connect sometimes.

There are times when it just can't connect to the AP (even with full bars), and I'm not sure what's going on. I'm carrying both phones around just to test and my Nexus S has held a connection strong. I'm wondering if this is a driver issue or a radio issue or what. Should I try a different kernel?'

Finally, I have a question about using the "Home" button. In stock, a long hold gives you "search" and you could even set up double tap using JKays to do some stuff. Do we have that option in CM7?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cavlovic:
I had problems with wifi too when I used ICS radios. Solved them flashing different radio. For me, KI3 works the best.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I believe kernels solve wifi issues. I would flash another kernel. I did the test today. I walked around for 4-5 hours on school dropping wifi every 20 minutes or something. I would KNOW because we have to stay logged in or we have to re-authenticate.

After lunch I flashed Siyah and it was all better. Wifi stayed on the rest of the day. Radios/modems shouldn't deal with wifi at all, and only reception.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Necrolust:
I get worse battery life with siyah than I do with the stock kennel. The only reason I want to use siyah is because of voodoo louder... I wish there was a version of the stock kernel with voodoo louder :-(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Stock kernel works with voodoo louder
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Necrolust:
Oh..my..god. This surely was implemented in the later kangs? Well... I'm a happy chap now! Thanks for informing me of this!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
is there any way in the CM7 ROM to get a search button (kinda like in stock ROMs where a long hold of Home brings up Search?)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lutanica:
I have experienced very poor battery with the last build, as well. During the night with an alarm, in Fly-mode, the battery is drained like crazy.

buildbot is back?

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

I need some good backlight settings because I think my SGS2 is draining too much from screen ><
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lutanica:
I really hope, that someone takes the time to fix the issues remaining with CM7:

- Bluetooth AD2P issues with some apps like PowerAMP (disconnecting when screen goes off)

- Corrupt CRT off-screen animation

- Android Market freezing (something happened with this last build. I had problems installing anything in market. The downloading bar kept going and going without installing the apps) (tried 2 times with 2 comeplete flashes)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arif-ali:
nice,

maybe I should go back to my small cupboard, and close this thread; :p

maybe wait a few days to make sure that the nightlies are working
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yabadabadooo:
Anyone know if the Alarm still freezes?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
where do we report issues so someone will take a look at them?

I'm using Euroskank nightly 2/26 and the CRT off-screen is fixed apparently.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rommy667:
Just want to say arif-ali if the build bot returns big thanks for all the nightlies ive used them from 20120101 and they were great never had any probs or fcs or reboots and got great enjoyment from the nightly updates im now a flashaholic :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
market freezing? how come i haven't seen my market freeze yet (knock on wood). I've been using CM7 kangs from last week. My SGS2 is only 1 week old.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ivangs1:
I also want to say big thank you to arif-ali about his perfect builds.

I personally think that they are better than CM nightlies.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lutanica:
You sure that you wanna hear this? :-P

Go to your market, and my apps and go into the description (install page) of any of your installed apps. Then scroll up and down for 5 to 10 secs without lifting your finger. There you will have the infamous market freeze.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lini:
Sad to see this nightly stop :(

Thanks for the great work! Hope to see the CM buildbot rise from the dead soon.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arif-ali:
I don't see the point of duplicating work. My server may continue to crunch out the nightlies, But I don't want to step on codeworkx, atinm, teamhacksung toes. Plus all my server was doing was doing the nightlies

* Did I have any input in any of the source code? NO

* Did I do any constructive development for SGSII? NO

* All I have done is added sgs2 to my buildbot, and it built all the nightlies (Anyone can do that Check out my scripts at https://github.com/arif-ali/android-scripts)

I don't think they were perfect. How do you know that this was the cause of the CM code starting to be better? i.e. it could be that lets say CM had their nightlies, their's may have been also stable as the ones that my server has been building.

Thanks for your appreciation either way.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ivangs1:
You are right - this is result form the work of whole CM team.

Hope they will continue improve CM ICS for galaxy S2.

Just wanted to say thank you for your job.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GJ123:
Mmm even after gapps flash I have no market:(

All other apps are there but te most important not:confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wallywalnut64:
Hmm I've been using these nightlies for about a month now, kinda hesitant to go back to official nightlies as I've had so much success with this one.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yabadabadooo:
What about to change the topic to cm7 discussion thread?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lutanica:
The market doesn't show up at first but when you connect to your WiFi, it suddenly appears.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ivangs1:
Incoming call volume problem

Does anyone have the same problem as me?

After i get an incoming call the volume suddenly increases i should adjust the volume with volume buttons to return to normal volume.

The volume does not show that it was increased it show 2 , but i have to decrease to 1 and the to increase to 2 to get the default behavior.

I have tried to reset profiles(settings->profile-> Reset all) as i have read that it has solved the problem to some users but without result.

Thank you in advance for your help.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yabadabadooo:
Do Alarm still freeze on the new built? Anybody know?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rommy667:
The alarm never froze on me on any build.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wallywalnut64:
Anyone know if the market freezing issue is still there with the official nightly? If no one has tried it I will once I get some more download allowance. Not for a few days at least. Cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I was using the nightly from 02222012 and then a Kang from Euroskank on 02262012, and I havent ever seen any market freeze issue.

BTW, shouldn't we start discussing on the official thread:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] af974:
Nice to see you here too Arif, i've got mine from 3 days.

Believe me, it is less complicated as it seems, if it is as Galaxy Tab, you just need to tell the kernel where is located initramfs folder via .config.

Looking forward to see some good works from you mate :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] duro74:
yeees coool :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lutanica:
Mate,

this issue happens only when you scroll in the Market. Lots of people are having it. Here is the links:

I will send you the log soon.

This has nothing to do with the kernel. I have tried absoloutly everything. The problem is somekind of mismatch between the new versions of Android Market with CM7 ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OCmylife:
Hmmm so if we install an old market(July), and stop updating itself, I got no freezes with CM and could use it as my daily driver? That would be awesome and I will test this one. I love CM and on my Desire HD it runs absolutely great without problems. But on SGS 2 I got to many problems with it and the freezes are really disgusting :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lutanica:
I read a lot about this issue. The last versions of the Market update themselves even though you remove the MarketUpdater.apk. That's the weird part. But if you go longer back (I don't know which version it was) to the Market before the ICS Style makeover, and remove the MarketUpdater.apk, you will be fine with no freezes. I haven't done it myself but this is how people handle this issue.

CM7 ROMs haven't seen a lot of love from our Cyanogen friends, hence the buggy ROMs. But CM7 ROMs are far superior to Samsung-based ROMs in my opinion. Far more snappy, and far more customizable.

We can only sit back and wait for their ICS which will be soon.. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] af974:
Try this for removing Market auto update:

Uninstall any market update from setting/applications then, via adb:

adb shell
su
pm disable com.android.vending.updater

or terminal:

su
pm disable com.android.vending.updater

you can change disable with enable for having again market auto updater.

Attached old market version, uhmm guess it is 2.3.6

Hi arif, got a gsg2 last Monday. Nice to see you here. And hello pongster. Nice to see familiar names from the hd2 forum.

Hey guys you don't need to battery pull, not a good idea coz of the flimsy battery cover. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, its like a pc itle turn off. Iphones do that to.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] OCmylife:
Now I`ve installed the 01.2012 nightly and deleted the Market updater apk in system/app via root explorer. Then ive flashed the gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Thats the last Version with the old market if i remember correctly. Will report back if its now stable ;)

Edit: Sorry can`t test it for now cause I switched to CM9 and till now it runs amazing without f/c or random reboots. Will test it if I get back to CM7... maybe :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Scooter010:
Hi

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I keep getting a partial wakelock with MediaScannerService. I can manually stop the service and the wakelock will stop, but if I either add/delete something from internal storage or reboot, the wakelock comes back. Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this please.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OCmylife:
So I've switched back to this nightly yesterday evening and did the same procedure with the old market. And till now it looks totally stable :) Absolutely amazing.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] coudu:
I've been using your builds since CM buildbot is down (and sometimes EuroSkank's one), everything works except that there is no date shown on top of the notification bar when you pull down the notification menu (It's there on CM official builds and EuroSkank).

Also, are you "cherry-picking" some not accepted/validated code reviews? If so could you include this one: Change I829a79b8. It could make the FM radio app working (but CM team would prefer a libaudio wrapper, thus it is not committed...)

Thanks for your hard work Arif.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrHome:
been sticking to the cm 115 since the market freeze issue occur less there
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mabmed:
Great work.. can you implement fancy rotation (like iphone & galaxy note) in your build?

Thank You very much ALI.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adioph:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] schack:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] OCmylife:
And if you have read the last posts, then you would know that the old market from 13.06.2011 fixes the problem. No freeze or forceclose since 21 hours(last time I flashed the rom)

Workaround:

-Do a Fullwipe(format cache/dalvik cache/data/system) and wipe battery stats(if you are on 100% battery charge)

-Install the Rom

-reboot

-delete market updater using root explorer(->system/apps)

-reboot into recovery

-install gapps from 13.06.2011 -> http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

-reboot

-done

dunno if i just got bad luck with the download and it was broken but i updated to the new version and the google calendar sync didnt work,,,

flashed back to 0101 and everything works like a charm ;)

thanks 4 daily updating ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ny-hardcore:
+1 for the cherry pick

I checked it out in my local build,but could not get it to work..maybe because i didnt clean/clobber before rebuild...only had 5mins to kill so i rushed it ;)

Can you also explain what modifications you made to the device files?

Thank you for your hard work

[Galaxy S II Android Development] TA123:
Try to flash it twice.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tsubus:
is it just with me or volume when listening through headphones only changes for the first few "steps"?

What I mean is: if I increase the volume from mute, the first few increases work. After a while (around the middle volume-bar), raising the volume does not make any difference on the volume. Anyone else seeing this? Using nightly from last week and stock CM7 kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xavihernandez:
Unfortunately it's a known bug of CM7. It seems that voodoo louder by supercurio fixes it. It is a paid app.

It will be fixed in CM9 as it is fixed in the experimental builds.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tsubus:
Thanks for the info, I've recently moved to the S2 so I've still got a lot to learn. CM7 was almost perfect on my old phone (HTC G2).

I will check out that app.

Hello guys! Im just wondering, are the cm team still programing cm7 for SgS2? I have noticed that its still realeses unofficial nightlys for the SgS1. Therefor is it possible to still get unofficial updates for SgS2? I have tested cm9 for a while but i misses too much stuff that comes with cm7 that i cant live without. /Regards

My new Jenkins server that builds my ROMS now, and you can check the status

Most things will be done via that now. The naming scheme has slightly changed, and therefore you'll find the latest one above the rest of galaxys2 builds

Are you logged into Latitude? That's usually what causes that problem, go in to latitude and hit 'sign out' to make sure you aren't. I'm not using arif-ali's nightlies, but I am using one built from the same sources and I don't even see LocationManagerService taking any wakelocks.

Question: In reading some ICS reviews for the SGS2, it says that video recording in ICS finally has stereo audio (it was mono in Gingerbread).

Anyone knows what this means for CM7? Are we still stuck in mono, or does the CM camera upgrade the audio quality of video recording?

(Not to be rude but I don't need subjective "omg the audio is crap" or "mine sounds fine" canned responses. Would be nice if someone knows if its recording in mono or stereo)

also notification power widget icons are sometimes showed wide than normal. shows normal icons after reboot also.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] hussainmushahid:
yes, just copy/paste it in system/app, set the permission right and it should work after a reboot.

anyways I was wondering, does MIUI have lesser bugs or these cm7 nightlies ? I read a couple of places that MIUI has things working that CM7 doesn't such as FM radio.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alangrig:
Well I did it, but no changes. Audio quality remain poor!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hussainmushahid:
audio quality in video recording ? must be a rom or a driver issue then.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alangrig:
Yeah, audio quality within video recording. CM7 camera in WajkMIUI ROM audio quality is great as well as video bit rate.
