Ahem...

Hi guys.

I'm new to the forum and I feel I have read enough to not feel bad about being told to knick off or search Google or something (i.e experimental build whining).

I'm trying to work out how to change my boot animation and haven't had any luck so far. First I tried to modify the resolution of the stock bootanimation.zip to 480 x 800, as it is set to the default resolution of the Nexus (720 x 1280). I then overwrote the bootanimation.zip in system/media using Total Commander and made sure the file had successfully copied. No luck, booted, but no boot animation. I then tried to copy over a different one with Nexus and SGS2 resolutions, but the same thing. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy S II General] svceon:
check the permissions of the .zip file in the stock animation and confirm that the one you're trying to import has the same

I would download the rom again ,do a full wipe and flash the rom and gapps again. Maybe you have a bad flash or incomplete rom.

or

and you can see the files on the list and you can set them for ringtone etc..

Umm doesn't the SDCard now have "Ringtone" folders right on the root? /sdcard/Ringtone or /Alarm or /Notifications

Right.

Bluetooth Keyboard Timeout

Today I bought an iPad bluetooth keyboard because they supposedly work well with the SGS2. I've seen videos on youtube running them fine, also the model I've got, on stock firmware.

Problem is that the keyboard pairs with the SGS2 just fine. And I can type for a little while. But after a few seconds to minutes, when I leave the keyboard alone for a bit and swipe across the screen. When I return to using the keyboard, it doesn't work anymore. It shows as disconnected in the bluetooth settings and requires me to let it reconnect and press the reconnect button on the keyboard itself to restore the connection.

It's as if it times out. Sometimes after seconds sometimes taking minutes. But never staying operative for very long.

Because I have little experience with bluetooth keyboards and wasn't sure if it was the keyboard at fault, I connected it successfully and used it on my laptop and on my ps3.

Could there still be a bug in the bluetooth stack somewhere?

My bluetooth mouse does stay connected just fine.

I've tried and had the problem both on CM9 25/04/2012 23/04/2012, both original kernel that came with CM9 and with Siyah 3.2

Does anyone experience the same problem and is there a fix perhaps, I can't find anything about it in the threads.

Keyboard is a Rapoo E6300

Anyone got a mirror of the last nightly? I'm not being able to download from the old site. Sometimes it says the file is only 23MB, others say it is 68MB, but never the total size... WTF?

iDevice accessories are notorious for not playing well with non-iDevices

When I get time (going to be a few days) I'll test my BT keyboard with my GS2, however considering that it works fine with my Tab 10.1 which is also running CM9 with fairly similar drivers, I don't expect to see problems. After some period of time it'll disconnect (power management) but never has any problem reconnecting, I just need to wait a few seconds after hitting any key on the keyboard.

Seeing a lot of people stating storage is working perfect now, but I still think it's not ...

These are the current options:

TICKED (install on EMMC)

MENU - STORAGE ....... EXPLORER

----------------------------------------

INTERNAL .1,97GB

INTERNAL 11,49GB ..... EMMC..... 32,00GB

SD-CARD. 32,00GB ..... SD-CARD.. 11,49GB

UNTICKED (install on SD-CARD)

MENU - STORAGE ....... EXPLORER

----------------------------------------

INTERNAL .1,97GB

SD-CARD. 32,00GB ..... SD-CARD.. 32,00GB

INTERNAL 11,49GB ..... EMMC..... 11,49GB

I would like to install on EMMC, so checkbox TICKED, but in (ES FILE) explorer the EMMC and SD-CARD are switched.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Speak to the dev of ES File explorer, Root Explorer is displaying correctly and from what I can tell the mounts are correct in all cases now.
[Galaxy S II General] Joppers:
Okay, I already tried some different explorers, but I will also try root explorer.

[Galaxy S II General] ikanikolai:
Anyway, my solution is working too. Just saying.
[Galaxy S II General] JacquesR:
Both Root Explorer and ES show my internal as SDCard, and my removable memory as emmc, so it's not an ES issue. (Not that it's a problem, at all - I'm just pointing out that this won't be "solved" with a different file manager).
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
you probably have Use Internal checked, in which case that is correct
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:

You're right, just checked

All of them switch emmc and sd-card when checkbox is ticked. :rolleyes:

Hi!

When trying to downoad last nightly (4/25) from h--p://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2, I always get a damaged zip file, thas either 23.1 MB or 61.8 MB instead the 119.03 MB it ought to have.

Can anyone confirm this?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yes, use the torrent link or one of the various mirrors in the thread.
[Galaxy S II General] dt0:
Just download using the torrent file. Never fails.
[Galaxy S II General] Hawlery:

[Galaxy S II General] Joppers:
Good to know, I had the impression that it's quite strange to see the same SD-CARD stated as SD-CARD in the menu and E(mbedded)MMC in the explorer.

But luckily this is correct functionality.

Unlikely, since that's not something actually fixable.

Most likely you're suffering a wakelock, and your battery will drain fast.

[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
I'm using a Magic-Pro ProMini BT-Touch2 bluetooth keyboard together with a Plantronics M20 bluetooth headset (at the same time), and i don't have any problems. I can type and speak at the same time, i can reconnect both the headset and the keyboard (from their idle state) at any time, quickly and without issues. The idle state kicks in on the keyboard after a few minutes and reconnects (almost instantly) every time i press a key on the keyboard. So i'm guessing it's an issue with the Apple accessory, which, generally, have a great reputation NOT being completely compatible with other then Apple stuff. I am very satisfied with this keyboard (had 2 other types), try it when you have this possibility, it works great with CM9 & SGS2.

EDIT: I also tried it with Siyah v3.1.2 and found the same great behavior.
[Galaxy S II General] senjin:
It would be a shame if it won't work. I bought it primarily for the S2. After seeing it worked on stock. It supposedly plays nice wiith the standards and although sold as idevice, should work on all platforms. Or so I'm told.

I'm curious about your experience with it and will try to figure out more myself in the meantime. I'm a coder but never delved into java nor Android much. Was planning to learn using the excellent looking AIDE and my newfangled keys. ;-)

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Heh, ok. I'm sad to hear that. Probably means it's the keyboard indeed. Shame.

Still wondering though if it could be an easy fix since it does work on ps3 and my laptop. So it isn't all bad.

Thanks for reporting your experiences with it.
[Galaxy S II General] nsmart:
I have custom sounds (mp3) stored in a folder on my internal sdcard in subfolders like "Notifications", "Ringtones", "Alarms".

Everything works fine, but when I mount my phone in USB Mass Storage mode and eject the SD card in Windows, I notice that all my Notifications reset to "Unknown Ringtone". So my phone won't ring and I miss my alarms.

As a quick fix I copied my sounds to the corresponding folders on system partition.

Is this a known bug ?
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
You could use MTP.
[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
You're welcome.

On the support page for your product, it says:

1. "Design for iPad"

2. "System Requirements: iPad"

So if they would have offered support for Android at all, i'm sure they would have mentioned this, at least for marketing purposes...
[Galaxy S II General] nsmart:
I know I could use MTP, but this has other drawbacks.

I think it would be good to know if this is a bug. May prevent others from wondering why their phone doesn't ring and alarms don't go off.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberon:
I know it is still metged, but look at settings app background! :)
[Galaxy S II General] mitky82:
Do we see theme engine soon. :)
[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
I just tried this, since i also use the alarm and i rely on it heavily. No such issues here (using latest nightly 20120425)...
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Probably not as soon as you're hoping.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
using ums mounts the cards to your pc. as longs as you have access from pc, your phone doesn't have access and therefore can't see your ringtones anymore.

wouldn't call it a bug. it's a problem of ums.

use mtp. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
I'm also waiting for this feature to be implemented... Would be nice to have some theme independent options, like changing some notification/status bar colors, maybe a more general color for the entire UI...

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

Right, i stopped ums from the phone (i'm used to it like this), that's why i didn't had any issues.

check this out! just for status bar, but works really well!

Hi,

After a Fresh install (Because my Phone always says my internal Storage is full..:confused:) ) I don't have any APN's. If I try to Configure manually one and click "Save" its still missing in the List...

Use the 23.5 Nightly.. Will Update to todays Release and see...But I don't have much hope...

What is the Problem with this?
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
Reboot once and your APNs will appear
[Galaxy S II General] dr_justice:
Does anyone know of a quick fix for this issue or am I stuck playing the waiting game? This bug was in CM7 for quite a while too.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Issue with the proprietary sound driver blobs, it may not be possible to ever get fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] dr_justice:
I'm just a layman when it comes these things but if it was previously working I don't understand how it can't be fixed ? I don't doubt what you are saying just seems odd to me.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Well, if its the same problem as the notification sound causing the volume on music to lower and not return to the previous volume, I think it has always existed in the ROM, if the alarm sound is a different case than perhaps I'm wrong but I doubt it is.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
This is why MTP was used instead of UMS. Your phyone and PC cant share the data at the sametime usin UMS so it thinks your data is removed and goes back to default or errors.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
That's why there's a warning dialog when you use UMS, most people probably just ignore it and hit OK without actually reading what it says :p
[Galaxy S II General] dr_justice:
Yeah it's the same problem but this was definitely working on the build dated -20120404- I have a backup of this build but just thought someone might have a quick fix so I didn't have to roll back to it.

Change I8c183e18: v8: do not build for dynamically shared library

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/13223/

i saw that some devices supports dynamically shared library and others not.. probably our sg2 supports it, and i read some discussion about its results... after all, does it really increases performance ?

Its for qualcomm based phones, based on the change it depends on, so it will not affect the SGS2 at all

Can happen with high brightness, especially when using the phone continuously for configuration and gaming. Not often though so in general no. I would say do a clean install using the latest build (20120425). If the issue persists, switch ROMs. Not worth frying the hardware over beta software...
[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
I never had any issues with the suggestions, but i had your sms issue and i "fixed" it by manually adding my operator's message center number. Since this cannot be done with the stock Messaging app, i tried Go SMS Pro, which has this option. This fixed another issue, probably related with the first one, the first sent message (the very first sms after a reboot) sometimes was actually never sent, even though i got a "sent message report" in Go SMS Pro, the recipient never received it. My guess is the phone is probably not retrieving the message center number only after a first use of the Messaging app...
