IMHO you could skip that depressing work on the stinky camera all together. And maybe come back later on it if you are like REALLY bored.

Keep up the good work man :). You guys' CM9 ROM is the best ROM I've ever used.

Yeah, but everyone is reacting yo someone on here. Can't be bothered to read post after post of people arguing in here. Its getting boring. Along with ridiculous battery statistics. They are my pet peeve at the moment.

Come on guys, lets show to Codeworkx and future developers how motivated we are to have a real google phone.

I do not think giving 10 bucks is a lot for that !

We are 50.000.000 owners of this beast, and even in beta stage CM9 kills touchwiz easily on a lot of points, so show your CM9 build to others SgsII owners ... spread the virus !
[Galaxy S II General] notentirelysure85:

Not everyone needs a video camera on their phone. I couldn't care less if it works or not :) If you really need one now there are other ROMs.

codeworkx you have incredible patience to keep on working on this project. Keep up the awesome work :) Very impressed with the way it is so far. I only wish I was a dev so I could chip in.

EDIT: One way I can chip in: 2JL47645LL499592V
[Galaxy S II General] seigneurao:
First off, I'd like not to be needlessly flamed.

I'm perfectly aware I'm using an unstable mod, moreover a non-official build (codeworkx personal's 0320 with MTP working). I do it with full knowledge of the risks AND possible flaws so I'm not complaining at all, only pondering.

That being said, what I'm asking here is for user feedback.

How is your battery life faring ?

I've only had a couple days to look back to, but so far I'm a bit disappointed in that matter.

I had been told that it was a major improvement even with Sammy's crappy ICS, thus all the more with CM.

Truth is, while not "playing" with my device much more than usual, I have seen a drop to some 10-12ish hours of battery life at most since I switched to ICS, where it was around the 20's with GB, give or take a couple hours depending on my use.

It may very well be that I need to do a bit more of tweaking in settings, but performance is ONDEMAND like advised, and consuming processes like sync (mail, Twitter, whatever) and such, I have set the same I had in GB (Sammy's official 2.3.4 delivered with the stock phone).

Any thoughts, clues, advices ?

Your own experience on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

[Edit]

Looking at the energy consumption division stats, "Android platform" takes a larger percentage (42% as of today) than "Screen" (34%), which seems a bit odd.

If I remember correctly from GB 2.3.4 Screen took like a very large chunk, like 50-60% or so, and the OS itself a mere 20-30%. I may be mistaken though.
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
For those who actually are interested in helping the devs if you can provide a logcat here is a way on how to do it.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Logcat

only provide one if you have a proper issue like SOD or random reboots. please read the link above to get to know on how to provide one. it is actually quite easy from what i read
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
You need to let the battery fully calibrate itself for a few days to be sure. I get about 15-20 hours depending on usage. Sometimes less if I'm using it a lot. Download CPU spy from the market and better battery stats from xda (don't know if its on play) use cpuspy to make sure the phone is entering deep sleep. If its not, take the battery out for a minute then put it back in. Still got a problem after that, use better battery stats to try and isolate he app(s) that may be causing battery drain and remove them or freeze them.

[Galaxy S II General] chiaotzu:
Hello guys,

I would like to know how to upgrade my boot loader. I have searched the thread and read the first post, but didn't get the exact answer I was looking for.

I'm currently on 14th March nightly of CM9 and I would like to upgrade to recent 20th March nightly, when I tried to upgrade, I got stuck at Samsung Logo. Now looking at the solutions, I have to upgrade my bootloader to ICS or something. So sorry for asking specific questions, but I don't really wanna bug asking so many questions one after another.

1. How do I find out which bootloader I have installed?

2. LPH and LPQ bootloaders have problem, so do I need to upgrade the bootloader or downgrade it?

3. I have installed Stock ICS long time ago when it was leaked, but after that I'm using CM9 nightly. Is there any chance I have upgraded my bootloader to LPH or LPQ. I flashed radio-cm-9-SGS2-LPQ-signed.zip for upgrading my radio, does that upgrade my bootloader to LPQ?

4. What is the difference between Bootloader, Baseband and Radio?

5. Which file do I need to flash through ODIN to update my bootloader? I have I9100_APBOOT_I9100XXKP2_CL17109_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 and cm-9-20120318-ODIN-galaxys2.tar downloaded from first post. But I have no idea how to install them as first post states that

Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders (but not LPH or LPQ, use this Download)

I have used that download, does that Download upgrades your bootloader to ICS? If yes, how to install that downloaded I9100_APBOOT_I9100XXKP2_CL17109_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 file through ODIN?

6. For step

Choose cm-9-XXXXXXXX-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.md5 as PDA

I have cm-9-20120318-ODIN-galaxys2.tar file downloaded from CM9 Resurrection Edition for use with Odin 20120318. Do I need to just rename it with md5 extension to follow the step or do I need to extract is first because it sure looks like a winrar archive to me.

Sorry for bombarding you guys with so many questions. I tried to read through 20-30 pages, but nowhere instructions specifies all the steps that you need to follow. Please help me. Thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy S II General] seigneurao:
Thanks a lot, I'll make sure to do that :)
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Boot loader on first page. You may need to read about a line to find it. Flash it with Odin in PDA section. Then boot recovery and flash 20th build.

All your other questions can be answered with a Google search.

[Galaxy S II General] Slowking:
You have webspace with limited traffic? You really need to get a better hoster. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] chiaotzu:
There is no bootloader download link in first page. Not already in download section.

Are you referring to this line to download the ICS Bootloader?

Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders (but not LPH or LPQ, use this Download)

Is this the bootloader?I9100_APBOOT_I9100XXKP2_CL17109_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5

Thanks for the reply.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
That's it. On the first page...

rice and pea(ce)
[Galaxy S II General] chiaotzu:
And should I follow the below steps or right away flash the 20th build?

- Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders (but not LPH or LPQ, use this Download)

- Download CM9 Resurrection Edition

- Download GApps and put it onto your internal sdcard

- Open Odin

- Choose cm-9-XXXXXXXX-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.md5 as PDA

- Boot your phone into download mode

- Connect your device via usb to your computer

- Wait till Odin has fully recognized your phone

- Hit the start button and wait till the flash process is finished

- Wait till your device has booted into CM9

- Reboot into recovery, flash GApps, wipe cache and dalvik-cache

- Reboot into CM9

These are steps from the first page. :\

[Galaxy S II General] Powereh:
ORRRRRRRR

stop fecking raping his webhosting when there is webhosting for the builds already available.

Simple words. LEARN TO BE PATIENT! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
I think all you need to do. Is make sure you have an ics rom running (cm9 18th to be totally safe) that isn't using a LPQ kernel. Go to download. Odin. Put the bootloader tar in the PDA box. Flash that. Phone will reboot. Go to cwm. Flash data(to be safe), cache partition, and dalvik cache. Then reboot. Then it should work. (You will lose all your data)

I'm also going to say. That you seem new to all this. And I'm not responsible for anything that may happen when you do this.

[Galaxy S II General] BoneMo:

[Galaxy S II General] Helsie:
If you ask those questions you shouldn't be flashing custom ROMs on your phone... This is not to offend you, but just advice to prevent you from damaging your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] chiaotzu:
Aah, don't worry. Renamed the file to tar.md5 as mentioned in the instruction on first page to select that file, but it failed to check the checksum or something. So renamed back to tar and worked perfectly. There's typo in the instructions then that caused the whole problem with.

Took a backup of all the data beforehand to make sure. I know basics lol, it's just that never had time to read the kernel, radio, baseband and things. Well, thanks for helping me out bud. Really appreciate your help. :)
[Galaxy S II General] seigneurao:
Well the answer is not that simple.

Theory : MTP was supposed to work with 0320 build.

Facts : it did for some, not for others.

So the question is pretty much legitimate, IMHO.

Dude, let him flame the users. That's why he's here I suppose. Without understanding a question, just throw the bombs at users. ;)

I am able to download and purchase. And luckily refund worked as well. ;) I always reflash the Gapps zip after I update the CM nightly, maybe this prevented the issue on my phone? MTP also worked perfectly, but only after switching to PTP and back to MTP (without disconnecting the cable).

I've been running CM7 for quite some time now and feel like making the switch to CM9. A few questions though:

1. How do I make sure i have the ICS bootloaders running? It's a .md5 file so do I need to use ODIN to flash that?

2. If I decide to switch back to CM7 using a backup restore, will the flashed ICS bootloaders be a problem after the restore?
[Galaxy S II General] troffers:
Cheers, it worked!

:D
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
1. You need to use ODIN to flash bootloaders (use PDA)

2. I am using CM9 with gb bootloaders and working fine...not sure if it is necessary to upgrade (my worry is upgrading bootloader will make my USB Jig useless).....

Easy way to do it is to just edit your GAPPS file - put the animation zip in the media folder (create one) and then each time you flash an upgrade it will be included as well.
[Galaxy S II General] MilesTEG1:
Great ^^

I'll take a look on this new build ^^

But, does this 22th build has the nice bootanimation witch included in alternative 20th from codeworkx ?
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
Is it necessary to flash GAPPS for every nightly? For me, I only flash GAPPS with a new nightly if their is a new GAPPS version... I don't think you need to flash GAPPS everytime. Correct me if I am mistaken....
[Galaxy S II General] Nomoi:
No it doesn't include it, but it's really easy to implement it yourself.

How hard is it to check which kernel version you're running? Hint: it's under settings - about phone. To answer your stupid question, no this is not included in the latest nightly, but probably will be in the next one. So if you don't want to flash a kernel through odin, just wait for the next nightly.
