Thanks for your help.

Just liked the idea of being able to download the updates OTA to my phone and install from there, ill go with what you said though.

I currently have ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5 is that fine to use?
[Galaxy S II General] plazzTT:
ROM Manager works fine. Just check for updates in the app, and it downloads the latest CM9 nightly if there is one, wipes dalvik cache, and installs the ROM and Gapps.
[Galaxy S II General] marvi0:
Took the plunge, tried the so called final ics release by Samsung, but had to come back, things I missed from cm9 -

the email app is better on cm9

the back button kill on cm9, and just the shear fact that cm9, is very much innovative was enough to lure me back.
[Galaxy S II General] :
well even more good stuff are looking good on the horizon as the progress that Xplo is doing on the kernel is looking great.:D Someone posted earlier that the less time the devs spend on here the better it is for us as they get some great progress done:D

i am back again on cm9 and could not be happier. i love that i can use mdpi and not have to worry about anything and i just love the pure smoothness and feel of this beast....when his kernel comes out as well it could only mean good things.

big respect to the devs they deserve it:D who needs sammy ics when we have team hacksung....**** they should be paying these guys instead to use their OS in their phones instead of Touchwiz crap
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
update your app to 5.0.0.6 and buy premium.
[Galaxy S II General] djsimonr:
Same for me here, i see a few people saying NEVER use RomManager etc etc but ive used it since i flashed CM9 and ive never had a problem.

I must say if i am flashing a different rom (not CM9) then i boot in to recovery and do it all manually.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] Danwms:
Done a search of the forums and found loads of people mentioning that version but not been able to get at the download link.

Could you point me in the right direction please?
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
Free

Premium
[Galaxy S II General] Xerovius:
That kernel in the picture is 10 days old, I wonder what kind of progress has been made since then :P. Having it boot up is pretty amazing on it's own
[Galaxy S II General] Danwms:
I was talking about the version of ClockworkMod Recovery (v3.0.0.5) not the Rom Manager, I already have the latest premium version of Rom manager.

I was asking if the version of CWM Recovery is ok to use?

Still seeing mixed messages about using ROM Manager in here so I have decided to flash direct from ClockworkMod Recovery I just want to check that the version I have installed is ok.
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
Funny to see that the LPJ/LPQ kernel is v3.0.15 and xplodwild one is v3.0.20???
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Can we download xplodwild´s :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] RagingHarry:
Been using Rom Manager (premium) since my SGS I (which was just out at that time) and had never troubles with it.
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
The version of the RomManager CMW isn´t the same as the CWM that boot´s in your system.

You will have to make a fake flash of the RomManager CWM, the system will remain with the same one that you have.

For more info search this tread, codeworks has explain it already... you will get the 4.0.1.5 in RomManager and the system will stay on the 5...
[Galaxy S II General] :
when it is ready yes...at the moment no
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
No... still under full development.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
The build is that old but the kernel isn't.
[Galaxy S II General] RagingHarry:
He already has it patched to .24 ;)

From his Twitter....
[Galaxy S II General] RagingHarry:
If you like Rom Manager and buy Koush another beer....

v5.8.1.5 with touch recovery
[Galaxy S II General] Danwms:
So you are saying that I should just install the version of CWM that Rom manager is prompting me to install and that will go over the top of the one that came with CF-Root?
[Galaxy S II General] Okur90:
Yeah I suspected as much, but then again, some people say it works for them. Theoretically it should work because video recording actually works, it crashes when you stop and doesn't save. For Skype and Gtalk you don't need to save the video, just stream it across. But of course it can be a hell of a lot more complicated than this...
[Galaxy S II General] RagingHarry:
It is not going over it's top.

RomManager's recovery creates a temp flash disk which he uses to put the Recovery on and uses that for flashing via RomManager.

After the flash the temp flash disk is deleted and the SGS II is in normal state again.

On CM9 you don't have CF-Root anymore but CM9's Recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] MrZammler:
Yes: https://github.com/xplodwild/android_kernel_samsung_galaxys2

It only needs compiling :-)
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
if you don't care about wifi, bluetooth, ril, sound, video, camera, gps and so on, you can use xplodwild's kernel. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] :
Hahaha oh Gott das ist lustig!
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
Sorry when I asked you if you had sihay kernel I though that you had CM7 on it!

You have no prob, flash with CWM.

Some problems apear in CM7 upgrading the modem if you have sihay kernel in it. There aren´t custom kernel´s yet for ICS - CM9.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] eezdva:
Did anyone get the delay with putting in the pattern or pin security working???

When I lock my device i have to put the pin directly ......though I put it on 30 minutes.

Maybe it just doesn;t work yet, But just wondered.
[Galaxy S II General] jroyalty7:
I also use international galaxy s 2 on at&t and I do not have your problem. Try wiping all data and reflashing...
[Galaxy S II General] anibalin:
hey guys,

Is there a way to change the haptic to low/high?

been using the rom from yesterday and I havent got any issue. Impressive job guys.

keep it up!
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Not yet. In time......

[Galaxy S II General] robot1000:
There is a setting on SWIFTKEY to change haptic feedback, it's in the advanced bit
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
You made my day, have a thanks :D
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
Just like there are probabilities about releases. It works, or it just not works. We release, or we just don't. That's about how it works.
[Galaxy S II General] Skyline92:
Batterylife is impressive. :)

P.S.: This image was shot with my SGS2 which is in use. The phone on the picture is just my "backup" phone. I installed ICS CM9 on it.
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
Sorry but thats dificult to believe in...
[Galaxy S II General] ParthG:
Before making such a great statement, how about you show us the screen on time? ;)
[Galaxy S II General] MistaBishi:
Of course it'll be that good, there is barely any screen on time, and there isn't a SIM card in the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] rahulsuneja:
Hey there intelligent people.. I use Titanium Backup PRO for backing up my apps & data. I just batch restore all apps after changing a ROM. But, whenever I try to do it on an ICS (Android 4.0.x) based ROMs the restore process, even after showing 100% completion, doesn't actually restore any app. I tried this with the Experimental CM9 as well as the Official Leaked XXKP8 4.0.3 ROM (which I did root using the rooting guide from AndroidAdvices.com).

Now, is this an issue with Titanium Backup's compatibility with the latest android version (ICS) or is it because the above mentioned ROMs are still unstable (alpha) builds?
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
Neither. Titanium Backup is fully ICS compatible now. And an app being ICS incompatible would most likely Force Close, instead of not being installed entirely. The reason that your apps are not restoring is because ICS uses a different structure/framework towards maintaining application data than previous Android flavours. So when you're restoring your apps, ensure you've selected "App Only" and NOT "App+Data"... that should batch restore your apps just fine! :)
[Galaxy S II General] guicoelho:
When I go to the Clock app and try to manage alarms it returns me an error message "The clock stopped" and the app closes. I know it's experimental but I just wanna know, anybody got the same problem?
[Galaxy S II General] airwax:
I've been using the rom daily now and it is amazing how smooth it is. Thanks to the cyanogen team.

I had problem with the 3g signal before using the kp8 modem, so i flashed the kp4 and its working fine now.
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
Not tried, but you can try the "Fix Permissions" option in CWM...
[Galaxy S II General] guicoelho:
Didn't worked :(
[Galaxy S II General] returnzer0:
Clear the data for the clock app and it should work fine.
[Galaxy S II General] guicoelho:
How I haven't thought about this? It worked. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] Danwms:
Cool.

Thats what I was after thanks for that. Ill go with that then and just make sure I wipe everything as part of the flashing process.

Thanks again everyone, just wanted to be clear.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Sie sind brillant sir:D Probably got it wrong but then blame Google translate:p
[Galaxy S II General] :
Actually it is like this "Du bist mein Gott" :P
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
OK, I got it :p
[Galaxy S II General] RagingHarry:
In German you only use "Du" if you both agreed to "to thee and thou" if he/she is not a close friend or you didn't agree in the thee and thou stuff it should be "Sie sind" ;) (atleast that's how i learned it)
[Galaxy S II General] gorillaCF:
hi all. pardon me if i sound a lil noob. i have 2 questions.

1. i flashed latest nightlies today (came from another from on GB), tgt with gapps. everything worked perfectly fine. but 1 thing, i cant seem to detect my phone from usb, and its not charging. is there anything i missed on the flashing?

data wipe, cache/dalvik/ flash CM9, flash gapps, and reboot.

2. i tried ADW launcher, seems like it crashes if i lock and unlock the phone too fast. is it recommended to use the default Trebuchet instead?

thanks in advance. my first CM experience ever, and super satisfied!
[Galaxy S II General] :
so it is correct then the way i have it...looks like google has managed to get something right afterall
[Galaxy S II General] RagingHarry:
For question 1 see FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS in the first post for the usb stuff, charging could be several, but try removing the battery and inserting it again, also pushing the battery connection pins a few times can help if the contact is bad.

For 2, ADW launcher is working perfect for me.

But see you did a data wipe, did you also do the full factory reset?? so that everything is full stock cm9.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

Seems like google knows how to not be rude, using Du unasked is not that polite for lots of German.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yeah I know I was just joking around hehe :)
[Galaxy S II General] Nomoi:
I'm on the latest nightly as well and mine doesn't connect to my computer through USB either, it does charge though. Use AirDroid (an app to manage your files OTA through your browser), you can find it in the Play Store (still hate the new name, sounds like a sexshop to me).
[Galaxy S II General] gbohm:
off topic it would be highly strange to say sie in this example same as in english if you say to somebody sir .

mostly it is used if you talk to somebody in a buissiness environment or to somebody with a much higher age or some higher age and a woman. it would be strange to say sie to somebody your own age if you are under let us say 30 and it is not unpolite to allways say du with people about your age if you meet them in privat.

ot: i am not asking for a eta but how likely is it that xploid produces a really usable kernel? are we talking about yeah give him some weeks or just well if a miracle would happen it will be done 2015?

No one has a "nomal" battery percentage working in 0309 that I can modify :confused:

I did it in LPQ Wanan and installed in a friends SGS2, not bad at all, I am so tempted :o
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
some weeks/months.

release of sammy ics kernel sources will speed it up.
[Galaxy S II General] :
blimey only tried to say "you sir are brilliant" in German..Apologies if it offended anyone did not mean no harm by it..Blame google for the translation..But anyway thanks for the lessons. You learn something everyday.

EDIT:To your kernel question Master Codeworkx beat me to it;)
[Galaxy S II General] -pól-:
Sorry for reposting this, but I'm afraid that it has got lost in the noise. Codeworkx, could you have a look at the log and tell me if there is anything I can do to stabilise my WiFi connection?
[Galaxy S II General] d3ck4rd:
So is Samsung now acting illegally by not having released sources even though firmware is out?
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
Witch KangCM9 Rom are you using?
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):

[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
Technically, yes. They didn't care about the "source has to be out once the binary is" rule before and won't now.
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
@codeworks: time to click in "build now" ??? :p
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
Illegally ??!! Bwahahaaahahahahahaahaha

Samsung don't have any agreement whatsoever with people who buy their phones to release anything. They have an agreement with Google to release sources if they release firmware. But as someone in this threat intimated yesterday, they may well have another 'commercial' arrangement with Google where they release sources in a manner that differs from the GPL.
[Galaxy S II General] gorillaCF:
yup i did data/factory reset. the usual steps before flashing any new ROMs.

the thing is, i have a new cable. and it cant even be detected as a drive itself in my computer.

really not sure what went wrong. but i can charge normally with the wall charger.

edit: i think this is the known bug of partially borken MTP. oh well. tks all.
[Galaxy S II General] opethrocks:
Im on the latest nightly build and audio_out 1 is my biggest wakelock. I've searched the thread but didnt find anything very useful. I havent listened to any music today and i have touch sounds and screen lock and unlock sounds turned off. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] gbohm:
set your phone on mute ....

My own home made build ;) so that I don't have to wait for someone hitting the build now button.

That way i can add some small performance tweaks to it while building and learn some more about the internals of CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] opethrocks:
Thanks for the reply, i've had it on vibrate all morning, but maybe thats not the same as mute
[Galaxy S II General] amozonesk:
is there already any way to get the tv-out working ?

it's the only thing i'm waiting for before flashing cm9..
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I think it works, there's an app called TV-Out that can't be disabled. Just backup your current ROM and try it, nothing to lose.
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
Thia half baked modding community support from samsung is what's making me wanna get a one x instead of a galaxy s iii , damn! i don't wanna part ways with superamoled plus :(

Ill get another samsung device if they release the source or make a powerful nexus with a good camera unlike the galaxy nexus
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
There is no agreement with google in regards to kernel sources. They have to release kernel sources because the kernel is a Linux kernel. And anyone using Linux source code has to abide by the gpl to release sources. Though you are right about it being nothing to do with the users, its technically a copyright infringement between Samsung and the creator of Linux.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Yep they have to release sources.... Hopefully soon
[Galaxy S II General] gorillaCF:
guys sorry for more newbie questions.

1. is charging from USB supposed to be slow? can it be increased in terms of charging speed?

2. any ways to disable crt tv off effect?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
1. Yeah it's slower

2. If you have cm9 no not yet, Aokp yep
[Galaxy S II General] gorillaCF:
okay thank you.

any idea if i can use apps like VC to change the charging currents?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
If you know what you're doin' you could get pretty good battery performance with Cm9. I disabled some stuff to prevent wakelocks, changed a few things in build.prop, deleted some unused apps, files and so on... screen time 3 hours and still 56 % left (high usage, 2000 mah battery)
[Galaxy S II General] gorillaCF:
i'm actually ok with the frequent charging if needed, just that the charging speed is quite slow haha.

anyway, thanks. its just my 6th hour into CM9, gotta experience it more and learn more on tweaking.

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] salmanghiyas:
should i go for CM9 or the official stock XXLPQ ICS firmware update ???

need opinion from u guys .. which is the best ? stable , battery timing etc etc ???
[Galaxy S II General] opethrocks:
What sort of things have you disabled? What kinda build.prop tweaks?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
If you want usb connection and video recording take the lpq rom. If you want Ics then take Cm9 ;p. Official Rom is a ****load of ****. Sorry.
[Galaxy S II General] gorillaCF:
CM9 is the choice.

I want a custom ROM again and see the most popular are cm9 and resurrection remix.

Which should I go for?I see cm9,I can't use titanium to restore apps...
[Galaxy S II General] Nitrius:
Is there any possibility for the USB and camera problem to be fixed in the near future? Or won't that happen before samsung releases the source for ICS? Which probably won't happen anytime soon?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
restoring app is OK, restoring data could be more of a problem, but it will be most of the time OK too.

[Galaxy S II General] marshall39:
A "noob" question here , please don't flame , it's a serious question , and I'd like a serious answer :) , what are exactly the differencies between an AOSP rom , say CM , and a rom from Samsung where you remove Touchwizz (replaced with Trebuchet) and all the bloatware?

Sorry for stupid question , just for the knowledge :p
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
I think you pretty much summed it up. Touchwiz in Samsung ROM, no AOSP launcher (Trebuchet). Proprietary code for hardware built in. Samsung ugly green theme/Candy Touchwiz I love iphone theme.

AOSP/CM9 is stock ICS feel/look/launcher, tons of customizations built into the settings menu, but device driver support + driver support is almost non existant right now due to no kernel source or source code for device drivers.
[Galaxy S II General] Rallerbabz:
The difference is that AOSP is build from scratch, and the rom where you remove touchwiz is based around Samsung's own modified android.

I got a question, sorry if it've been asked before, but can't find it.

Is there any way to get 3g connection to work on the latest CM9 build for SGSII? It just wont work for me :-/

(provider: 3 Denmark)
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
No. It is not. Their deployment of the firmware has just started and they're rolling it out. If they release source within a reasonable timeframe, they are not doing anything that goes against their intended opensource contract. And breach of contract has to be called out anyway.

Give it time... Update3 source took weeks before it was released after KI3 was on Kies.
[Galaxy S II General] marshall39:
Well , thanks for your reply , so if I understand well an official Samsung firmware without Touchwizz and all Samsung crap wouldn't be equal to an AOSP...

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
I think it only works when you turn auto-brightness off. Apologies if that is obvious/wrong :)
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
They aren't equals at all... Alot of custom ROMs use samsung base to not mess around with hardware compatibility, but remove Touchwiz launcher, theme it to their liking, change settings and remove bloatware... This makes Samsung based ROMs more usable interface wise and gives good hardware compatibility.

Cyanogenmod9 has great user interface customizability and features, but needs hardware support to make it better. It's a question of taste... Someone who likes stock might not like CM9, someone who likes Custom based on stock might not like CM9 either... And CM9 lovers usually don't like stock. ;) Try both for a day to see which one suits your needs. Personally, I use a custom Gingerbread ROM because I don't like some aspects of touchwiz... but I prefer Cyanogenmod. Hardware limitations make me stay on Samsung though.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Stock TouchWiz is like driving an Opel minivan (last year's model it seems!) - sometimes people like to customize it by lowering the suspension and sticking a spoiler on the back. It still handles like a dog.

AOSP roms are more stripped down track cars, a 911 RS let's say. High performance which you can tune according to your tastes.

Android version

CODEWORKX

do you think it is time and possible to merge ICS 4.0.4 to Cm9? cuz i know the source code is not out yet, just a "possible final version that leaked".. so the real question is, do u need source code to move to 4.0.4 or could this be done with the final version leaked?

If this is not possible, wouldn't it be, at least, consider, to move up to IML77 (latest 4.0.3) which is less buggy compared to the IMLK74 that we use here?
