I'm still struggling to understand something; all these people whacking off over screen-on times. There are so many variables involved here that it makes a test like this meaningless. Screenshots taken with brightness set at 10% are exactly the same as screenshots taken when the brightness is 100%.

My point? Someone posting a screen-on time of 8h (or whatever) might've achieved that with their brightness set so low as to render the screen virtually unusable. So what's the big deal?

As long as the battery gets you through the day with your 'normal' usage (obviously everybody's usage differs) then you should be happy. These are smartphones. They have a lot of features. Data / wifi / bluetooth / 3D games/ massive screen / etc / etc. If you strip all that back, what do you have?

A Nokia from the 90s.

You battery stat whores really need to get laid or something.

[Galaxy S II General] willgilson:
Thanks for the response. No, I'm careful to just update the rom and not muck about with the kernel.

1. Wipe cache + dalvik

2. Flash rom

3. Flash gapps

It's a weird one. Didn't know about the kernel script, will use that in future too. Can't do any harm and will give me peace of mind. I'd still like to know why though.

It's a great rom though, props to the team.

Going to play with my new g note for a couple of days now and come back to it later.

Cheers matey.
[Galaxy S II General] maliprinc:
Few pointers please

Greetings.

I rooted my (stock) ICS Galaxy SII with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_NEE_LPD-v5.4-CWM5. Kernel on my device reads: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPD, and build is IML74K.XWLPD, Baseband XXLPW. With the root came ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5 and CWM Manager v.3.15. I apologize for abundance of info, but I'm not sure what if any you need to point me in the right direction.

I would like to install CM9, latest nightly and start contributing with my experience. So, just a few questions:

1.) Should I first flash latest ClockworkMod and how (I guess latest is ICS 5.5.0.4, and it should be done through Odin, right)

2.) Is that even necessary

3.) Safest way to put CM9 nightly on my device

I apologize if this is not the right place for this question, so feel free to point me to the right place. Thank you

Flash the CM9 Resurrection Edition with ODIN

Reboot, let everything update

Reboot into recovery mode, download and flash the latest nightly using CWM Recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] brittonberkan:
I can absolutely recommend the noob-proof odin method that you can find on page 1 of this thread. There are other ways, but this one is very comfortable.

Just flash the resurrection edition with ODIN (can be found easily) from a windows computer. Then you'll have CWM and can easily upgrade to the latest version

[Galaxy S II General] Sugarkryptonite:
Anyone else find the ICS browser extremely laggy? I find that there is often a pause between scrolling with my finger on the screen, and the screen actually scrolling.

It's like:

scroll with finger, pause, screen scroll.

Very annoying. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy S II General] maliprinc:
Followup

Thank you so much. I went to the first page and read several times noob-proof ODIN method. There is only one thing that I'm not clear about.

At the end it says:

- Reboot into CM9

- Follow above steps to update CM9 to latest available version (Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9)

So, at that point I would download latest nightly to my PC and use Odin again to update my phone to latest nightly. Or should I put nightly on my internal card, reboot into recovery and update. Or, are the both ways acceptable.

I presume that Resurrection edition will have the latest recovery in it. Can I afterwords install touch recovery through my (paid) Rom Manager?

Thank you again.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
After flashing Resurrection, download the latest nightly to your phone, and flash using CWM.

As to the recovery question, the GT-I9100 doesn't contain its own recovery partition, therefore recovery flashed by ROM Manager is temporary and will be replaced by the recovery contained in the kernel every time you reboot, this is no problem if you only ever boot to recovery from ROM Manager, if you boot from the device power button menu or with the key combination with the phone off you will end up in the standard CM recovery instead.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
resurrection edition of CM9 will add CWM recovery to your device, so from then on you can flash new nightly using CWM. the recovery packaged with nightly will overwrite the touch recovery of rommanager each time you flash, so it's a bit tedious if you prefer touch recovery to CM9 recovery.

do make a nandroid backup of your existing roms. CF-root CWM recovery is compatible with the one in resurrection edition. it's a good insurance policy.
[Galaxy S II General] brittonberkan:
The guide is referring to "Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9":

- Copy CM9 ZIP to your internal SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM9 zip

- Reboot

If you have a paid version of rom manager, this will be even easier. Just launch ROM Manager, get the latest version of CM9 and install it directly via ROM Manager.

It should also be no problem to install touch recovery if you want to. I don't know if the recovery in the resurrection edition is the latest cwm available, but it works just fine :)
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
On stock browser, yes, Rom's based on AOSP are quite laggy compared to the stock Sammy one. Only solution I have found is to use a different browser like Opera.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
IMHO, it's not the case. i'm using nightly 0610. stock ICS browser in CM9 is snappy.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:

I think he's referring to a MIUI feature I believe whereby, you can hold the HOME button while your phone is locked/asleep and it will activate the torch.

I guess you could say;

A) This isn't MIUI.

B) You can't ask for features in CM9.

but it is kinda handy.
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
you're right....laggy and browsermark score is very low, I've asked this question to entropy but no answer....
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I think you got no answer because the browser isn't a project that Entropy512 actively works on.

The browser that ships with CM9 is common to all devices running a CM9 build which means it may not be fully optimized for all devices, it also means that optimizing its performance for one device may actually make it perform worse on another, this doesn't mean that the browser doesn't suffer from performance issues on the GT-I9100, but it does mean that any device specific enhancements have to be tested to ensure they aren't a regression for other devices, so the potential fixes take a long time in testing.

The linaro project enhancements are slowly making their way into CM9, you may notice a difference in browser performance once those are merged, so wait for that stuff to hit and re-evaluate the situation.
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
so you are agree that there is a problem with cm9 browser ??
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I see it on GT-I9100 yeah, but I don't seem to have it on the GT-I9250, so it's at least somewhat device specific. I've been using Chrome as my default browser for a while though, so I hadn't really noticed.

[Galaxy S II General] Teejai80:
Actually I was having strange issue all day after latest nightly. Phone turning itself off, rebooting, contacts stopped working. I didn't do a davlick cache wipe for the first time so put it down to that. Flashed again with the cache wipe and phone is back to normal. Guess it does do something ;)
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Wait, how can you change the lock screen wallpaper? Whenever you change the wallpaper, both the "desktop" wallpaper AND the lockscreen wallpaper change. So, they're always the same.

Final few

Thank you very much for helping me. I do have final few questions:

1.) I presume I should do nandroid backup first, to my internal SSD

2.) As this is "clean installation", all my data will be gone after I install Resurection. However, before (or during) installing nightly, is there any other option I should select, like: factory reset, clean dalvik, cache or anything else?

3.) I do have Titanium Pro. Would backing up non-system apps and data (or just data) from stock ICS with restoring it to nightly work? Or is it not recomended?

Much appreciated.

Agreed, not to mention the fact that no new releases shows how much more stable this rom is. I just wish there was a way to get updated on when this rom has a new version. Hate having to check back every day just to see that there isn't an update. That's something I think the forums needs to get better about. I know Rootzwiki is doing something like that with their new(ish) "Modifications" features, but it hasn't been incredibly useful for me yet.

Hi, that's great that someone post information related to the topic (as opposed to ask how to use the camera or whatever).

But your questions are mostly answered in the "FAQ" and 1st page...

so:

1) Backup of what? I understand you are going to wipe everything. In any case the 1st page instruction clearly tell you what to do in the right order.

2) Same, depends on your action (upgrade? new install?)

3)Titanium Backup

Not supported but works for some apps and not for others. Mileage varies so don't complain if things break because you use it.

+

- Don't restore Apps using Titanium Backup!

...

So read the first page, it will answer everything you need.

Or clarify what you will do exactly!
[Galaxy S II General] maceddy:
That's an option, just like GOLauncher or ADWLauncher, but I hope they can just fix it....

1) in CM9 system, the external SD is mounted in /mnt/emmc, while internal SD is mounted in /mnt/sdcard. somewhat different from sammy's arrangement, though it's just using different names to refer to the same thing. so previously your clockworkmod folder was under external_sd directory, after installation of CM9 it will then be found in /emmc/clockworkmod. if my memory serves me well, folders in internal sd and external sd will not be wiped. perhaps others can confirm.

2) installing resurrection edition will wipe your phone. additional factory reset or clearing cache would do nothing. you can still choose to perform those tasks as you wish.

3) Titanium backup is not recommended by team hacksung. The common consensus here is that you can restore app/apk using TB but restoring data may corrupt the system and so one shouldn't attempt. (though if i have a nandroid backup (system image), i may give it a go and do a full app+data restore, knowing that as long as i can boot to recovery mode of CWM i can restore to a functional system.) just my own opinion.

Thank you for answering.

Yes, so to clarify. I got stock rooted ICS GS2. I will use noob-proof Odin method to install resurrection first and then latest nightly. That is what those 3 questions were related to. So knowing that, should I at any point during installation (resurrection or nightly), do any kind of "factory restore" or "wipe" of any kind. Reason I'm asking is because in other methods there is a step involving "factory restore" while in noob Odin step, that is not mentioned. Finally, as there is so much talk in this group about different kennels, I would like to know if my current stock ICS kennel will stay on, or it will be replaced during resurrection/nightly update.

Much appreciated.
