Hi. I've updated to update-cm-9-20120411-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip and I'm having a very strange problem. Seems like "/data" starts mounted as RW and changes to read-only randomly when the phone is already running, making everything crash for obvious reasons.

Not sure if something got corrupted or if it's really a bug. I've tried to rollback to 20120409 version and same problem happens.

Running "mount" shows /data as "rw" when phone is working:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc 0 0

And when apps start crashing it shows as "ro":

/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /data ext4 ro,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc 0 0

I've checked Logcat and couldn't find a cause or where it mounted it as RO, but here's an example error:

Anyone had a similar problem? I've searched for a while but couldn't find anything.

Apparently "currentWidget" is throwing some stacktraces so I've uninstalled it to see if it helps, and I'll check if I can find the cause.

Are there any other logs I can keep an eye on to see who is "playing" with /data mount?

Thanks!

PS: Yes, I've cleared cache/dalvik-cache.
[Galaxy S II General] CongoBangs:
What files are responsible for Camera? I want AOSP Camera. Is it possible?

Ps : I m running on some other ROM ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
If its a touchwiz based ROM just copying the files probably won't work, if it's AOSP based it should already have the AOSP camera.
[Galaxy S II General] CongoBangs:
AOSP Camera

That was quick :-)

It is touchwiz based (probably with some modifications). I copied the Camera.apk in system/app. everythng except video recording seems to work.
[Galaxy S II General] lucianoklos:
I updated to 1104 and for me touch is smoother... im unable to check battery... tomorrow ill post about it...
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The camera didn't save recorded video on CM9 until recently, I gather from the discussion earlier in this thread that the fix was kind of dirty, this may have broken it for other ROMs, I'm not certain, you might be able to find the fixes on the gerrit review and revert them and be able to fully use the CM9 Camera.apk.
[Galaxy S II General] CongoBangs:
Woah... Seems like it will need lil developing knowledge... May be I will wait for someone else to port it :-)

Thanks anyway :)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Its a bit beyond what I'm currently able to do too or I'd try to offer more help.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Have you tried Camera ICS+ from Play? Dunno if it works on all roms.
[Galaxy S II General] boggsterman:
Same, unfortunately i know nothing about developing otherwise i would at least have a better idea of what the problem is. Seems to work for everybody else except us and T-Mo austria. (wonder what their SMSC number is?!)

Updated to the latest build and my favourite alarm sound is gone.. no more buzz alarm :/

Why would you guys actually remove that ? We live in a modern world where a few extra mb don't make a difference..

After my phone is fully charged i set it out and then it has only 97-98% battery left...so i plugged it in to charge it completly...Thereby it's getting very hot and looses battery because it's permanent active. I did a full wipe also flashed the new build. Any advice for me, please?
[Galaxy S II General] dzontra83:
+1

This is happening to me to, and it started od 0409 build with the new kernel 3.0.27 built on 09 april, and happened again with 0411 build last night. Both times did a cache wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] Yathi:
+1 this if it has disappeared. Am yet to flash the latest build though but I like pixiedust notification :)
[Galaxy S II General] snorfu:
Thanks but this couldn't be a solution because wenn charge it over night, you wake up and your phone has only 90 or 85% battery left and is damn hot...if think this is not really good.
[Galaxy S II General] jelle2503:
If you care that much about a tone just grab the file and put it in the correct folder. Then again this is likely to be above your comprehension level if you make whiney post like you do

[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
Yep. This also happens on my side, I'll get a log later this evening
[Galaxy S II General] CongoBangs:
Thanks I will give it a try.. Hope it is as good as AOSP Camera :)

Thanks alot buddy :-)
[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
You might be on to something

Vodacom SA and T-Mobile AU. Both of them have the shorter 12 digit SMSC number... all the other SA service providers are 16 digits...

@Codeworkx could this have something to do with our problem?

Guys did somebody managed to find a way to limit data usage on CM9!?

I used to use Droidwall and it now no longer fully works on CM9!

Please somebody help!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Orginator:
I haven't whined.. just asked why it got removed... so far I can't see a single logical reason or any meaningful answers.. obviously I've already copied the file so please..
[Galaxy S II General] Motogeek:
You could use the data usage icon in settings.
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
Hello everyone. I've been running CM9 since the early days of CM7 and I wanted to share my experiences with the latest 11. april build.

BLN is causing a massive wakelock after receiving an email. The CPU jumps to 500mhz and stays there even for 20-30 minutes. That is without any additional software for BLN. Just the stock settings. I am on a clean fully wiped installation (as usual).

2nd thing is the T9 dialer when you find a name and click on it does not display the phone number fully, just the last 3 digits. (Minor detail, a bit annoying though).

The rest works perfectly. I am really satisfied with performance and how it is running. I have one request. Can someone point me to a launcher that supports missed calls/sms notifications?

Thanks for codeworkx and the team. I just donated. I hope the proceeds are used to the full extent and you will revigorize yourself with a nice refreshing drink or two : )

Thanks

I use pixiedust too and its still there on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] greglord:
I'm having some serious issues for which, aLogCat doesnt show anything since I think the phone totally hangs..

I noticed that, after using headset or charging the phone to 100%, ~10 to 30 minutes after that, the phone totally hangs. Its like having sleep of death with one difference- when we had sleep of death in nightly 0403, the phone wasn't overheating.

In my case, the screen is turned off, pressing any button doesnt do anything. The phone is overheated as you would overclock it and go play some gome for some time. I have to force reboot it by holding power button. Checking alogcat after that, of course, doesnt show anything (or am I checking it wrong?)

After every update, I always clear cache and dalvik.

Background processes at that time are usually the default ones:

Settings, DSPManager, TvOut, Google Services.

Is there anything I could do to trace what is causing problems like this one?

thank you
[Galaxy S II General] thunderger:
Ouch... got "encryption unsuccessful" ics bug this morning. My phone was charging over night. :(

@greglord:

I notice same behaviour but without overheating phone. Black screen, not responding to unlock or "rest" holding home and power button.
[Galaxy S II General] MikeMurphy:
I just upgraded from CM7 to CM9 April 11 build. Clean install, wiped the usual.

I'd describe the scrolling as 'lumpy' and not linearly smooth. Its not choppy it just seems to change speeds back and forth while scrolling. Unfortunately I don't have any other CM9 build to compare it to.

Also, scrolling in Contacts is weird. Difficult to scroll quickly w/o using the right column quick scroller thing.

Anyways, loving CM9. Thanks Devs!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] 3xeno:
From what I read, that type of scrolling is an ICS "feature"
[Galaxy S II General] californicated:
Yes. Lost more than 20% in 1hour. I'll try the CM9 music app later.
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
Yep, I think its because in comparison with the samsung music app, its not truly optimized for our hardware yet.

Mine uses about 40 - 50% in 8 hours. I've not got around to trying anything else yet, but am sceptical it would make much difference.
[Galaxy S II General] sam razzy:
Cord works... please temme how to check whether I have badblocks on my device which effects my hardware...??

Are you kidding me? Check first post -.-
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Er, yesterday's :)
[Galaxy S II General] flafla:
wtf that's crazy, just listening to music with screen off and you lose 20% in an hour? i always listen to music for 1 hour in the morning commute, and read a bit of pulse or whatsapp while doing so and i only lose about 10%.. (pretty much same as CM7)
[Galaxy S II General] smacksakes:
We're not blaming you, we're asking for help as trying to get our network providers to even look at this will be an impossible thing.

If you can code a fix which solves this issue for something MANY SGS2 users are experiencing then what's the harm?
[Galaxy S II General] GanTre:
hello guys. I installed this mod on my galaxy s2.. It works great but i got some problems:

1) When i receive a message(sms) the screen doesnt flash..

2) I cant save contacts in sim memory

3) the battery drains to fast.. no wakelocks or apps unclosed..

Can anyone give me a fix for this? Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S II General] californicated:
Used bluetooth earphones, maybe that's the reason. But on GB it didn't make a big difference.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Battery drain issue : part 3

OK, last night I disabled wifi completely, as expected, it then drained about 1% per hour since then, with biggest wakelock being multipdp (fast dormancy which my network provider does not have yet afaik), screenshots included.

Curious as of why this behavior was not on cm7 (ie, used to get better battery life with wifi on)
[Galaxy S II General] ivangs1:
Big RILJ wakelock with last "update-cm-9-20120411-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip" - i have tried Airplane mode on/off + remove TVout.apk +

Now will try and with new modem LPS.

Any other ideas?

Thank you in advance.

being a changelog addict, I'm really suffering for that cursed yahoo api being down since two days :)
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotcobain:
Battery life is bad since nightly 9.4. I have enabled 2G and a 2000 mah battery but yesterday I barely made it through the day... just 11 % left when i went to bed. Had more than 40% left with other nightlies and way more screen on time. A little over 3 hours with last build. Other nightlies 5-6 hours screen on time... strange strange.. No wakelocks too. :/ .Just an info. Everything else is awesome. Great work guys
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotcobain:
Is my battery dying?
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
I have to confirm those comments about the battery life.

At some point it was plain excellent. Drained very little idling, etc... But now it's eating quite too much.
[Galaxy S II General] GalaxyGusta:
Da hell 11% battery in just 40 minuts
[Galaxy S II General] BackfireNL:
here the drainage is quite ok! 7% in 2 hours and 50 minutes...

No wakelocks.

(It was quite heavy when i used the official facebook app but now i use friendcaster and my battery life is awsome!)
[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
Lost about 30% battery in 2 hours 15 mins of music playback. Regular headphones, nothing else was running.
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
Yes, "issues" is a known issue. Use "issue fixer" from play store...
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotcobain:
Lost 35 % battery with 2000 mah battery in 3 hours! Wtf. Only Wifi and 2G. No facebook app and no sync at all. Screen on time 1 1/2 hours. That's really bad...
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
About the battery... have you ever simply used it till the phone turned off by itself?

My fuel gauge is acting weird too sometimes...

Just yesterday it was going down from 100% to 50% in no time. (about an hour with light usage)

One or two hours later with almost no usage, it was at 12%!

But with the remaining 12% i was able to use the phone for more than 4 hours! (screen on most time)

The system up-time wasn't any bad at all, just the gauge was tricking me.

Today the gauge's behavior is back to normal. So sometimes it's just a strange acting fuel gauge, not a draining battery.
[Galaxy S II General] jerryhou85:
same as before on battery life... 10 hrs, 13%, CM9 20120411 with LPS modem...
[Galaxy S II General] MrMarques01:
What about the guys complaining about the battery life would provide a little more information like BetterBatteryStats screenshots? Simply whining about battery drainage won't make it better nor is it of any help to the devs.

My battery life isn't better or worse compared to the last builds.
[Galaxy S II General] Ghashul:
CM9 doesn't support BLN, so you can't really be on fully clean stock CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] giosoliman:
batt prob

I started from build 0404 then 0409 now 0411, they all exhibit shut down problem i encountered. Whats worse, when you power the device on, i found out it lost about 30% of the original battery before going off. Whats weird is after losing, the batt percentage regenerates slowly until it reaches a maximum point for example (original batt =86, when turned on batt =43, after 2 hours= batt= 67). I am using baseband LP7. Maybe these battery problems you are encountering are related to this bug, and you may not just notice when the phone restarts. I like to fiddle with my phone and maybe i just get lucky to spot the restart process and drain.. Its the only problem ive encountered so far. And also, this happens to me when I listen to music with screen off suddenly it restarts and batt goes down. ,or it may just be a conincidence that i always listen to music and it restarts. Hoping for a fix soon.

What is the gprs-data-stall wakelock?? Huge wakelocks with it...
[Galaxy S II General] :
I can agree with that, I'd say the Jan 2 build is getting very close to what I had on CM7. Not sure what changes were made to the ROM, or something I may have changed on my phone, but the kernel wakelocks are back to normal.
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
I also agree that battery life is close to CM7 on the latest build, yesterday i did some medium to heavy usage and got almost 14hours..

Still had 15% left before i plugged in.

so, i've searched this thread for any info regarding MMS, and some users said it worked in the other thread, others said it didn't...i'm not able to receive pictures...well i can't send them to myself anyway....

are there any tips or tricks you guys know of that will enable the phone to receive MMS....love the rom, but my wife and i just had a baby boy and i love getting random pix of him....they are currently about 4000 miles away from me at the moment....so it's kinda needed..
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
i dont use mms, i get a unlimited txts, unlimited data, but charged for mms, so i either email/ or use whatsapps, which is a messaging client, means you can send higher quality photos as mms downscales the photos alot. and videos too, (granted your wife would need an iphone/android phone
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Actually i didn't test the MMS, but did you set your MMS options correctly? Just asking
[Galaxy S II General] union1mc:
Minor issue, but has anyone found where you set the screen lock image? I've looked everywhere, I know it must be staring me in the face. I used to just do it from gallery and hit "set as", but that only brings up "contact photo" and "wallpaper" now.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Sygic aura runs perfect for me, didn't have one problem, fix was fast and it was accurate while driving
[Galaxy S II General] :
Ridiculously quick and accurate lock here. First lock after a new install is very quick as well, much better than GB for me.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Wondering what it will be with a bit of wifi on, you didn't seem to have used the whole S2

The only mode for wifi working good is for me constantly on, as soon as i set it to off at sleep or only keep on while charging it's a hork to get Automaticly on, but it seems to consume quite a bit when keeping on.

[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:

[Galaxy S II General] sendhiloo7:
You have to do it from your Desktop/laptop.. its required Android SDK..

If you don't know about ADB, please don't try this..
[Galaxy S II General] Jaco2k:
If you have root you can probably even do it with Root Explorer...
[Galaxy S II General] Rovman:
Yup, with root explorer just go and delete the 2 files and then restart.

This will allow YouTube videos to work again, bearing in mind the colours are still off.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Try to understand what this screen wants to tell you. Looks like you don't understand.

If there is only Android OS running and no other services, AOS will be 100%. But this doesn't mean that it is bad.

If you charge your phone up, and use it with display on till battery is empty, then Display will be the highest and AOS will be very low.

This screen is only usefull for users who can think logically. ;-)

I am planning on trying this ROM tonight, I'm currently on cm7 but I have a couple of questions first.

1) Will flashing this resize partitions and delete photos/media etc?

2) What do I select to recover a Nandroid backup of cm7 should I decide to go back cm7? Do I select "restore all" or one of the other options?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
1 - No it wont delete anything as those are on your "SDCard" or your External SD Card.

2 - Just go into backup and restore and then restore. It's sorta diff as you'll also have a different recovery. 5.5.0.4
