Modified the stock messaging apk replaced the green emoticon images with blue emoticons as well as a blue ic_launcher_smsmms to better match the ICS blue color scheme. Pics below.

If you don't know how to install something this simple, you shouldn't be using CM9.

Never worked for me even on Samsung Stock.
[Galaxy S II General] c3l5o:
I know that. Probably mine is just corrupted or something during the flash (although it's odd that that happened 3 times).

I've checked the hash, and the file seems ok.

I just posted in case someone out there was having the same problem.

The improvements in the RIL are quite noticeable for me. Data toggles off and on much faster and more reliably, and my speed is better.

Just a question: Why do the lights come on when the phone is off and charging when one touches the screen?

I never saw this i the stock kernel, and I actually don't like that. Can this issue be reported or requested somehow?

I don't want to step on any toes, because I'm a CM9 n00b, but this is pretty annoying for night charges, etc. if one accidentally bumps the screen. Shouldn't the screen itself not register contact when the phone is off? :confused:

Does anybody else having this annoying problem, that you cant use the phone when it sleept a while with wifi on? (Sometimes can't even answe phone calls). Have to wait, 10 seconds before I'm able to unlock the phone (screen has to lock itself twice)...

Also battery drain is pretty high here. A full charge last just a "day" or 10h.. with just 2h screen on time (was longer last month or so :p)

Power Management(nothing power draining in partital wakelocks); vbus_present and deleted_wake_locks are draining the most battery (sorted after drain value)

Oh under alarms i found 189Wakelocks caused by Facebook, cleard App Data may that helps;)

I think it's maybe time to wipe ;) I updated nightly after nightly since the first CM9 one came out:laugh:
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
vbus_present is the wakelock that's held when something is plugged into the usb port (generally a charger), the phone doesn't deep sleep while charging and this is how the kernel tracks it, it shouldn't be draining your battery unless you're also using it and running a slow charge like from USB rather than wall charger.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Settings > Advanced > Sensors
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Power Managment is userland wakelocks

vbus is charger or usb cable plugged in

deleted_wake_locks is normally what happens to wifi wakelocks when you turn the wifi off.

If you have a network with a lot of windows computers on it, it may be wise to leave the wifi off, as windows spams a lot of multicast packets around with will wake the device up a lot, thus causing a wakelock and battery drain.
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I feel like notification volumes are pretty loud. Or in general volume level 1 can be quite loud for a level 1. This is for a quiet office environment. My comparison was my Nexus S. I feel like the SGS2 is freaking loud on volume 1 that I can't even use it.

This is 1/7 for notifications I'm talking about. Honestly, if 1/7 is so loud, then what is 7/7 supposed to be? :D

Strangely gtalk video always worked for me before ICS... not after that... tho a couple of times with luck if on a good WiFi connection it has worked with cm9... never data...

Download any market unlocker... due to your region its not letting you see maps in the market...

Better to download from the market than the apk, because the market will allow updates while the apk will need manual updates...

This app hangs EVERY time I launch it without a data connection, but it never did this on a stock ROM.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=si.modula.android.instantheartrate&hl=en

I use it daily for training purposes, so I kinda need it. I sent a bug report to the developer of the app, but I'm not sure if this is something that can be addressed by the app developer or not.

I also noticed that the proximity sensor doesn't respond as rapidly as it did on stock ROMs either, particularly during calls when taking the device away from your face to access the number pad, etc.

Anyone have any suggestions on how these issues might possibly be addressed?
[Galaxy S II General] c3l5o:
I don't even know if a Nandroid backup (if you did one) would help in this case, since you've said that the device doesn't even mount the partition.

I don't know a way to solve this, but from what I know about encryption of partitions in computers, if you're device has deleted the encryption key, you can say goodbye to your data.

Focus on finding a way to mount that drive so you can re-format it. (all the data you could get your hands on after bypassing encryption would be gibberish)

[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
This is an issue for me, too. Since the last few holidays I didn't carry my quarter pounder cam with me. Galaxy's build-in worked perfectly in all daylight situations, and everywhere you don't need an optical zoom.

Thing is, I don't think the camera app is able to do something in merit. This should be a HAL problem - closed source - and since most of us aren't able to track it down or hack it, and the devs obviously don't give it any priority (and I agree, there are more important things to do) it will stay this way.

Which makes it a personal choice:

get a decent cam = stock ROM with all the other bugs and annoyances.

Get rid of all touch wiz bugs and annoyances = worse cam.

Currently getting rid of all Samsung stock annoyances is far more important to to me.
[Galaxy S II General] ssauger:
I din't realize differences in picture quality stock/cm9, tried this under dark and bright conditions. For me all is great. Ok, stock cam app looks nicer for me, but thats all. Anyway big thanks to all Devs bring us these wonderfull and fast rom to the S2.

[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
someone has posted earlier on this thread 2 pictures made with camera:

1 from CM9, 1 from stock rom.

It's said to be "immediately after flash".

I mentionned him, maybe the default settings are not the same, for example on 1 it could be "compressed, jpeg", and on the other it could be raw, or less quality loss due to compression.

In other word, simply comparing the 2 pictures is not enough to know the differences, but "by default" the quality is quite visibly different... (stock rom seeming better quality).

Anyway, I'm happy with CM9, I'm just reporting if you want to look at camera differences.
[Galaxy S II General] niddl:
I also have no Problem with CM9 photos.

I think it's cause there are different cmos sensors inside.
[Galaxy S II General] marsexpress:
I'm new CM9-been running it a few days now. Currently on RC2, stock kernel also.

Got a bit of a strange one with my MMS. Via stock messaging application I cannot download MMS and when I attempt to send an MMS it crashes messaging.

So I've switched to GOSMS. I can receive MMS like a charm but cannot send-it attempts to send then times out with a failure after 60s, always. I've tried deleting all APNs, rebooting, resend settings (O2 UK), it just doesn't work. Worked fine with my previous stock ICS ROM.

I don't send many MMS so it's not the end of the world but it'd be nice to have it working.

Find the offending folder by checking the properties of the pics.

Using your file manager, create a file in the offending folder called '.nomedia' (without the quotes).

Install 'Rescan Media' from the store, then run it.

Maybe it's even only a slight "sharpening" filter in stock roms. I'm gonna check that. To me, stock ROM pictures seem to be more "crisp" and "clear".

I hope it's not really a CMOS sensor issue. If even the different CMOS sensors used by Samsung have so much differences in HAL, than this will never get fixed.

But - as mentioned, hopefully it's only additional sharpening.

Not jet. I don't like additional kernels or features or even features - because if you add another component to the mix, it normally helps in one case and causes trouble in three other cases. Old IT experience.

Q:

I hope someone can help me with this. I've tried to google it and have also used the forum search for more than two hours now, but I'm not able to look through this. Still having stock ROM on my SGS2, my external SD had defective sectors. Because this was covered by warrienty, I've RMA'd it a few weeks ago. It was absolutely no problem to copy the contents over on my Opensuse Linux machine, everything was working, because i knew about ".android_secure" and how to copy it as "root" in linux.

Now I've got the new better SD card back and would like to swap the external SD again. But on CM9 there's absolutely no way to get the contents of ".android_secure". Owner is system, I've got reading permissions, and there's an extensive list of apps I've linked over to the external sd. But no way - it seems to be empty, but on Windows, I can clearly see that the occupied sd card space is more than the sum of all files and folders I can see.

I don't get what I'm doing wrong? :confused:

Lockscreen Issue

I still have the "old" lockscreen issue, which was supposedly fixed. I am on RC2, and did a full wipe, but restored the user apps only (no system) with Titanium Backup. Can this be the cause of it? Any other way to fix this?

The symptoms are something like this:

Lockscreen (with calendar and weather) is totally unresponsive to touch. Most of the time, if I wait about 10 seconds, it responds. It sometimes doesn't, and if I turn the screen off, it won't wake up the next time, I have to press it several times.

[Galaxy S II General] sam5154:
resurrection is a seprate ROM based on CM9. you don't need it to flash a new CM9. It's just another ROM with it's own modifications and apps.
[Galaxy S II General] JacquesR:
Resurrection doesn't 'prepare the phone' for anything - it flashes CM9 onto the phone. But it's an older build of CM9, so after flashing Resurrection with Odin, you should flash a newer nightly.

But, seeing as you're already running non-stock, you probably already have ClockworkMod Recovery installed. So you don't need Resurrection, and could flash the latest nightly in recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
Well, eerrm, this is not correct. Read: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419102

Thats resurrection remix which used to be a stock samsung ICS based rom, and is now an AOKP based rom.

We are talking about the CM9 resurrection edition which is designed as an easy first step into CM9 as its easy to flash via odin, and comes with the correct bootloaders.

You don't *need* to flash cm9 resurrection edition, but you can if you want to, then update to the newest nightly or rc.

Note you will still need to flash gapps if you use the resurrection edition.

Hope everyone Here has heard the good news...

The insiders of SamMobile reported that Samsung is testing Android 4.1 for the Galaxy S III and Galaxy S II.

Samsung is almost ready to update their Galaxy S III devices to Android 4.1.

There is no date planned yet but it could be around August / September.

More good news is for the Galaxy S II. Samsung started the first tests with success.

If Samsung will update the Galaxy S II is still a question, but because the Galaxy S II is still very hot the chances are very high.

According to the insider of SamMobile Samsung will update the Galaxy S II if the porting to Android 4.1 on the Galaxy S II goes well.

There are no words yet about any other devices.

But the insider told us that Samsung will update the HIGH-END devices more and more. That’s why the chances for the Galaxy Note will be bigger than ever.

There is still no public statement of Samsung about the Android 4.1 updates.

We of SamMobile put our bets on these three devices after the Galaxy S III.

- Galaxy S II

- Galaxy Note

- Galaxy Tab 7.7
