Rock solid as usual.

First, Samsung says "No to ICS" for my old galaxy tab, and the community made it possible in a fantastic way. Now this. Really thanks guys.

I also had a few deep sleep problems, root cause for me was google currents.

Like lot's of people already said, don't forget to check your wakelocks with betterbatterystats.

You said you flashed CF's kernel and it didn't boot.

It has been repeated many times that anything beyond LP6 kernel wise will break secure storage on SD.

Get an app called Rescan Media Root from the play shop. That should work for you.

I'm experiencing the same thing here, in Sweden.
[Galaxy S II General] f100cleveland:
I've noticed the same thing. It seems kinda random. I think mines doing it when I let the screen time out when the messaging app is open. If i make sure I'm out of the SMS app and the screen shuts off, I'll get notified then.
[Galaxy S II General] akas84:
No problems here (spain) with SMS.

Battery drain

i'm using data about 8 hours and wifi the rest of time, in other roms my device stay up for 20 hours and some time more, now 10 hours at most! and i notice weird thing, if i restart the device the battery lose about 10-30% !! why?!

what the different between these kernels, is it help for optimal battery life?!

do you have any advice?

Also using nightly 14 here. Depends on your modem. I am on LPJ here and get more than a day on current build. This is with roughly 7h on data.
[Galaxy S II General] Duuuude:
That worked!! SMS notifications are now in effect! Thank you. :D
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Known random issue. I got it a 2-3 times. Nothing to worry from, and this may even be a wrong battery charge display (e.g. your battery didn't lose so much indeed).

Just charge your battery again. It won't happen again so often.
[Galaxy S II General] gwak:
Whenever I unplug my charger, the phone reboots. Has anyone else had this issue?

Any ideas?

Um file as "Normal"

This has never happened with stock android, wouldn't want it to either or my phone would be dead with 4hrs of screen on time in 8hrs!
[Galaxy S II General] tulek:
I'm following the thread quite a while now and no one ever reported such behavior.

Just a quick guess from my side:

I had a laptop where an USB port lost insulation. Whenever I plugged something in that port it instantly shut down.

Perhaps there's some kind of short circuit involved during unplugging?

awesome only minor bugs left now flashing hope this rom is multi dpi!!!
[Galaxy S II General] onbeskarakterli:
Same here. I don't know if this is a bug, but all CM9 nightlies I've tried was the same.

Also, I have another problem. I listen to music through headphones a lot and when a notification appears like a message, the sound turns down, I hear the notification sound and it doesn't turn normal again. Does anyone have the same issue?
[Galaxy S II General] Tchiort:
This is a known bug. I turn on the silent mod when I listen to music.
[Galaxy S II General] onbeskarakterli:
Thank you for the quick answer. :)
[Galaxy S II General] gwak:
I unplugged from power source first and with phone still plugged, it still rebooted. I wonder if it has anything to do with battery level sync.
[Galaxy S II General] vINyL3:
I can't change the definitions on APN connections. Is this a bug from the ROM or a bug of my instalation?
[Galaxy S II General] tulek:
@gwak

Hmm, perhaps you should remove battery for a minute. And then turn it on again and see what happens.

Do you see the lockscreen?

Or are you stuck in a boot loop?
[Galaxy S II General] ShimaMiku:
Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S II General] tulek:
But you can hit the menu button and define a new Apn. And if you did so you can make the new Apn default I think.

Edit: never mind:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] cedric123:
how to enable crt effect?
[Galaxy S II General] gwak:
Tried your advice, no luck. This has only happened since last two nightlies.
[Galaxy S II General] vINyL3:
Yes, that i can.

But it's a bug not be able to edit the defaults
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
Its everything except a "random" behavior:rolleyes:

Charging to full then let the phone discharge then charging it again in a one go is useless.

Same goes with "wipe your battery stats", or "Just charge your battery again."...:D

If you realy face a strange behavior from your battery reports, you need to reset your battery sensor chip.

This can be done using an adb command that I will let you Google for :p
[Galaxy S II General] tulek:
At least you can always revert to the settings thought to be best for you. And you can't accidentally break mobile data.

So bug or feature ;) ?
[Galaxy S II General] Nexu$:
Started the day with radio LPJ. Late afternoon flashed back to LP6. You can see how the curve changed immediately.

So far LP6 is the best radio for CM9 IMVHO
[Galaxy S II General] gwak:
Uninstalled better battery stats, seems to have cured problem :)
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
tsss...I can't beleive that one day I could read such a nonsense on XDA forum :(
[Galaxy S II General] Duuuude:
Why don't you enable the battery percentage indicator in Settings? Easier way to see how fast it drops than that little battery icon. :)
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
Unfortunately, your screen shoes nothing else that a battery reports adjusting its own stats just after a reboot.

You can't say that your newly flashed modem help here.
[Galaxy S II General] annie42:
"init: do not mount system rw (android_device_samsung_galaxys2)"

does that mean we can mount USB now?
[Galaxy S II General] mheras:
No, it means that the system partition is no longer being mounted as read-write, so if you want to make any change to system, let's say with root explorer, you'll have to mount it as rw before.
[Galaxy S II General] tulek:
No.

First of all it is a change for the next nightly to come and furthermore it just means that system will be only readable instead of readable and writeable. Because there's no need for writing access to system and it's a security issue as well I suppose.
[Galaxy S II General] mheras:
Hi all,

I feel the trebuchet/apex/nova launchers slow and laggy comparing it with the TW launcher in GB. I just want to know if this is because of the kernel sources that CM is waiting from Samsung and then everything will become ultra responsive or if it's just because the launchers...

I don't like having a super fast phone that is not as responsive as it should be.

Thanks,

Martin
[Galaxy S II General] Duuuude:
Looks like there was a reboot prior to the flash that continued the downward same trend. I'm guessing the 2nd reboot was the new modem and there is definitely a difference. Why doubt him? Every radio is different and behaves different with each carrier.

P.S. I 'thanked' you when I meant to quote you. :)
[Galaxy S II General] tulek:
I'm using Nova and find it super responsive compared to tw launcher.

There's no notable lag.

Perhaps you should lower animation time for the transition effects. They're under settings development if I turn them off the windows disappear instantly.

You may look for window animation scale and window transition scale

Edit: be warned if you lower the scale the crt effect is gone as well.
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
I known, I m doing blackmagic over this thread in order to get better battery life and "thanks" hit:D
[Galaxy S II General] Vash:
That's not true at all, I just restored all my major apps with their data successfully using Titanium Backup :) Was a bit reluctant at first because everyone is saying not to, but it worked fine.

Have to say I'm impressed with CM9, it may be labeled as experimental, but sans the weird video playback everything is working very well. I'm keeping it - at least until I find something horribly broken xD

Oh, by the way, have you guys seen the font size option in the display settings? There's a 'small' option in there that's universal! No need for display density changing anymore, at least for me (don't care about icons, I just wanted more text in gmail :)).

[Galaxy S II General] melorib:

That can be a wipe cache and a wipe dalvik issue...

Go to CMW recovery, flash Gapps, Gfix, Faceunlock -> wipe cache and wipe dalvik.

And sync again your contacts.

nice work

I'm using the 01062012 build since 4 Days and.... :

Very nice :D thx a lot guys, you are great!

I know there are some bugs like battery drain, browser crashes, etc..

but it works almost perfect in this early stage of development. Very good performance and very stable.

I'm looking forward for future releases.

Thanks a lot and again: great work!
[Galaxy S II General] Nexu$:
Indeed, you are right. I did reboot once to see if the battery drain will improve. It did not, so the second reboot is for the LP6 flash. As you can see, signal was crap but still, LP6 consumed less battery.

Agreed, each case is different but then I am only reporting my findings and not generalizing which modem rullz or suckz, right? :)

Sent from my Samsung wanna-be Nexus
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
Now that you have flashed your new modem, plz do this :

1) reboot

2) charge your phone to 90-100%

3) let it discharge normaly, with your evryday use to 60-40%

4) run a benchmark like Antutu

5) check your battery stats

6) reboot it

7) check your battery stats again

8) hit the "thanks" button:D
[Galaxy S II General] xelin0:
If this is true then its a terrible change, restricting users ability to have control over their own phone.

I edit the build.prop in system to change my dpi, as well as edit the dalvik memory values.

I rlly hope your wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] mheras:
No, it's not, you can always mount any partition as rw if you have the right tools... For example, you can use Root Explorer to mount /system as rw and then make any changes you want.

So guys not trying to put anyone down...But what are the chances that we will get the source code? Even though we get the 10,000 signatures. What I mean is, is the source code guaranteed? That is, after we get the 10,000 signatures?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
Chrome crash in less than 20 sec regardless the web site I m on.

But in this 20 sec I can see it is much more smooth and responding than the stock CM9 browser.

I think its clear that we will have very soon an updated version of Chrome that will fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] yugotprblms:
That was my first thought about this petition, and is my first thought about most petitions. It is in no way a legally binding agreement, as far as I know. Samsung will most likely say "10,000 signatures eh? Good job, now go away."

If someone was petitioning me to do something that I did not want to do, and I had not agreed to the terms of the petition, I would feel absolutely no remorse in saying no. I would not even fault Samsung for doing the same thing.

If you're talking about message notifications, it has been mentioned (and recently, at that). I had it too at first; turn notifications off and back on.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
There's no particular reason to believe they will, but you must also consider that Samsung is a business and businesses want to make money, having unhappy customers will eventually hurt the bottom line especially since other manufacturers make similar quality products and are more open about releasing sources, etc... Fact is that bad press on sites like XDA, androidforums, rootzwiki, etc... can change the minds of a large group of people, people who tend to switch devices far more often than the general population so if they don't plan to listen they should.

Where abouts in the flashing process do you flash a modem?

Is it like this;

- flash cm9

- flash modem

- flash gapps
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Anywhere.
[Galaxy S II General] M1cha84:
AFAIK, you have to flash the modem after the Rom, because every Rom comes with a modem attached, so flashing a modem before flashing the rom would be useless!

[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
ENOUGH! CM9 does not flash a modem. Deal with it. Just stop arguing about it :/
[Galaxy S II General] j3di:
When you flash CM9, whichever modem you previously had installed will remain. There is no modem included with CM9.

This is why there are numerous flashable modems available so that you can choose whichever one is best for you...

[Galaxy S II General] Life Engineer:
Hey guys i'm new to CM9 and i think i won't be going anywhere else :-)

I have one issue! After playing with the build a bit i discovered via Rom manager that there's no cwm installed! So i tried to download it via Rom manager; however the progress bar always reaches the end and the application freezes!

I killed it many times (after about 10min of waiting and having Rom manager is not responding message) and tried the same procedure many times and has the same results!

What surprised me is that, after second trial, Rom manager shows me that installed cwm is 4.0.1.5! If i try to restart into recovery the application freezes again!

So practically now i'm not able to get into recovery!

I even updated rom manager to latest 5.0.0.6 and also got same results!

Any help please!? (And what is the key combination to go after a boot directly into recovery?)

[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
CWM? The .apk or the recovery. If you mean the later, it exists. Whenever you flash CM(, there will be ClockworkMod recovery 5.5.something. Just re-install CM9. (how the f*ck can you delete recovery from within CM9? o_O)
[Galaxy S II General] Life Engineer:
ok u may be right, but why does in rom manager it says "recovery is not installed, install?"??
