And thus the next period of waiting and whining begins. I wonder when the first people start petitions again as if Samsung can pull the code out of their ass in a single day.

Anyway, thanks to all the developers and people that worked on and contributed to CM9.

As for the people who are waiting for a "stable" build.

There were no fancy changes to our devices code for quite some time now.

In other words:

This is as stable as it gets.

In other words:

There won't be some magical stable update that makes CM9 even more stable.

In other words:

Don't wait, flash now!

I'm having the same issue (using 2012-08-01). Updating the call forwarding settings doesn't help, and the phone is still receiving calls :confused:

I have to ask this... When an .apk is deleted from the device, whether it's a system app or a user app, the associated data folder is deleted upon a reboot. How does Android know what folder to delete?
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
My guess:

As Android apps have unique package names like 'com.codeworkx.fancystablecmapp' the associated folders are deleted when Android is booting and the App with this exact package name is no longer there, why waste storage and clutter the system?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I believe the info on the apps data folders is saved in an sqlite database similar to the windows registry, if the app no longer exists on a reboot then the remaining traces are removed and the entry is removed from the database.

"Recent apps" launch when waking phone with home key

This bug is the only one that bothers me on a semi regular basis. Probably because I'm always waking my screen with the home key. I've found if I just hit it really fast I can avoid the bug most of the time.

What's your experience with this bug?

Also I don't know if codeworkx is serious about ditching cm9, but I guess it makes sense...
[Galaxy S II General] kemikelx:
Sounds like your home button is stuck or damaged. Can you try waking the phone with your power button and see if the problem reoccur?
[Galaxy S II General] koodiifin:
Its a known bug... see bug tracker

One bug that I'm having post RC2 is the Android OS eating away at my battery.

I purchased BetterBatteryStats recently too, and took a screenshot of that as well. On RC2 I would have about 70-80% battery left over with the same usage.

Any ideas on what could be causing that in the latest nightlies, but not in RC2?...
[Galaxy S II General] jcasares:
But CM10 has still long to be on CM9 status I believe. Or I'm wrong?

That's mainly a developer view... but for users CM10 is still unpolished on GS2.

Saying that, I'm still monitoring that thread once in a while to see if there is any big breakthrough.

So far there seems to be two main concerns: hwcomposer and wifi tethering.

The rest are features not merged yet from CM featureset.

I was trying to post that pic too along with the other 2 but kept getting an error message from XDA.

This is what I was getting. I know that BLN deserves blame (and would appreciate not going down that road, because yes I know that it doesn't belong in this topic), but is there anything else on that list that is a red flag that sticks out or could be fixed on my end?...

MMI Codes panels let screen go to sleep

Using 20120801.

When I dial a special number (also called MMI code as far as I know) on the telephone app, the screen ends up dimming and going off as if I was not interacting with it.

Seems that the screen behaves as if it was a call, and actually even if you keep entering numbers/options to the MMI application (run in the server by the mobile operator), the screen ends up dimming and going off.

I checked with the developer option "show taps" and actually the taps are being shown.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Major red flag is your network. You have horrible network coverage along with the fact the fast dormancy on your 3g network is causing issues. Try changing modems to see if you get better coverage or you would have to switch provider's.

I'm on AT&T and using LPQ. IDK LPQ seemed to be the best modem up to this point for me.

On RC2, "Android OS" is middle to the bottom for me. On the latest nightlies it's usually the top or the second choice. Still using LPQ on both.

Also (if this means anything too) I usually get better signal strength on the latest nightlies in my dead zones where as RC2 would die on my data connection in the same dead zones.

Right now I just did a restore back to RC2, and I'm gonna keep an eye on the wakelocks and compare.

Besides changing the modem, if anyone else has any other suggestions for the nightlies "Android OS issue" that I'm seeing, please let me know... :)

Really no-one can tell me if the issue with CWM backup has been

fixed and it's safe in latest nightly?

I can't try 'cause my external card is full of important data and actually I cannot do a backup of it (as I've only the phone and a Chromebook Samsung Series 5 with 2GB of storage on trip with me).

Yup, it's fixed.

Just don't flash/make backups with CWM version lower than 6.0.1
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
Please can you clarify this last statement?

I'm on nightly 0730, so what i'm supposed to do to be safe?
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
If you enter n recovery mode and the cmw shows you version 6.0.1 just relax and made your backups.

btw, It was fixed one version after the problems started, so 0730 is fine.

How can I now delete a backup with CWM6?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Just delete the dated backup folder using a root explorer.

They are stored in mount/emmc/clockworkmod/backup (external backups) or mount/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup (internal sd).
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Try lps modem as that seems to be a pretty good one in most case but you would really need to try & find a modem depending on your provider & location by trying different ones.

From what you've said it looks like your networks pretty sketchy & that's cause the phone to scan for a network continuously thereby draining battery so nothing much you can do from your end.

About the Android OS issue its based on percentage play. If you don't use your phone for hours Android OS would be at the top because only those services where using your battery. Use app & keep your screen on & you'll notice that screen will now be the highest. It's all relative based on your usage & I wouldn't put much though into it as every cycle of use is different. If there were an issue it would show up under wakelocks in bbs.

people nvisend

I'm probably doing something wrong now, this forum terrifies me. But here we go

I know it says on first page you should not use titanium backup, but i read somewhere that it's only a problem if upgrading from gingerbread or CM7. I'm on 4.0.3 now, and have just rooted with CF-root, but will change to siyah i think.. And i want to try CM9 also. Could i use titanium for just one (kairosoft) game? (going to download from market, and just restore data) If not, is there any other way to transfer my savegame? Will for example MyBackup Root work?

And another question. I want siyah and CM9, which do i install first?

Thanks! No really, thanks!!
[Galaxy S II General] ccrows:
When you install CM, you will be already rooted.

You install CM first, and then kernal second.

Most important, get I'm the habit of making backups with CWM. That way if you try something new like TiBu or flash something else, you have something to fall back on if things don't work out... (For the record I use Tibu, but only for apps and mainly just to restore an app if I don't like an update from the market)
[Galaxy S II General] alexandruvlad:
Any advice on this, please?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] joness:
Ok, thanks! Yes i will make backup with CWM. And if i understand you correct, Tibu is not a recipe for disaster. It could work, but no guarantee? Right? So i think i will try it with this one kairosoft game, and i promise to not come here and ***** about it if it's not working. :)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
TiBu will likely cause you no problems, but the risk exists that your app may not work if you restore it's data, as long as you aren't restoring system apps or system app data, the worst thing that's likely to happen is the app crashes and you have to uninstall it and re-install it.
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
i suggest you recruit some slaves to work on CM9 :D jkjk

I see that CM10 development is moving along well though. And at least CM9 is at a relatively stable point...

Great work so far though.

The part i hate most is when you guys are moving onto the next ROM. It's too unstable for a daily driver, but the current one is not 100% done yet. I can say that was the case after CM7.1 when almost no work was done on CM7.2 (only minor stuff), but CM9 was still close to unusable on the SGS2. This is the part where I itch for a new ROM...
[Galaxy S II General] betodroid:
I'd like to know about a bug ,that I found on the nightly 010712,when I recieve a message with the music player rolling,the volume drop down and stay's in that way...Is that a know bug or something is wrong with my rom ?

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:

[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
No it isn't fixed yet. It still happens from time to time. When listening to music try lowering the alarm volume & see what happens.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Hmm....so the fix that was put in didn't fix it? I was under the impression that it did.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
So was I until I actually tried. Either it doesn't work completely or just in some occasions but going by the reports I'd say completely. All the efforts by the dev have gone done the drain. I guess a fix isn't enough to cure Samsung's stupidity #blamesamsung.
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
Working perfectly here.
[Galaxy S II General] koodiifin:
Wahhahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahabahaha wipe out

Why doesn't Samsung just build a version of cm9 and cm10 with all their closed source libraries and then that way we will have working features and they can protect their hardware. How hard could it be for them to make a few builds and get users to test. Or even just aosp builds.
[Galaxy S II General] betodroid:
I tried here,to the last build,samething...any ideas? ,what`s the alarm thing ??

Merge "Fix ring/notification volume not restoring correctly on headset (dis)connect" into ics

MERGED ON AUG 02ND AT 18:50:25 IN ANDROID_FRAMEWORKS_BASE

Codexworkx will put the fix in the next nightly ? 030812 ?
[Galaxy S II General] HippyTed:
Yes, it'll be in the next nightly. See

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#galaxys2/cm9/next
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Because for Samsung Android = Touchwiz not AOSP.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Doesn't work for me & for quite a few people. Try changing the volume for your alarm on the sound panel when playing music via your headset.

That's for restoring volume to the previous level it was before the heat was plugged in, it isn't related to the notification volume bug. The alarm thing is alarm volume in the volume panel.
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
Just tested it now here and did not notice anything wrong. What happen there?
[Galaxy S II General] betodroid:
So the problem will continue in this next build ? ...this bug irritates me :/
[Galaxy S II General] koodiifin:
Yes I suppose they want to promote their touchwiz. But why not give the option to the user. Aosp is free for them. They already paid for Android licensing. All cell manufacturer's should just give both options.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Nobody would use Touchwiz if they offered the option.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
The volume drops & doesn't get back to the previous level, like how the bug states:confused:. I guess it's that time of the flashing stuff & update cycle to do a full wipe. Was holding off so that I could do the wipe only once when I moved to CM10:(.

Well some people have the bug & some don't. Make a backup & do a full wipe & test. If it doesn't work then this issue will continue in the next build also. #blamesamsung

& that is why they should drop touchwiz & then everyone is happy. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Dunno. I still know people who've seen pure android on the gnex, but still prefer touchwiz over it. How many people do you think actually know that touchwiz can be removed from their device? They think it comes with the package and nothing can be done. We're really lucky to know these things ;)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
True, if you look at XDA, probably 50% (just a guess) like AOSP based ROMs and 50% like Touchwiz based ROMs, and XDA members are people who actually know about the ability to customize their Android user experience, most people who buy an android phone leave it stock (don't even root) and use it like that until they get a new one, they might update if an OTA update comes, but otherwise their phone is the same as the day they got it.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Precisely! I have friends that are still on the android version that they got with their phone. Only a couple of them bother with OTA. Most people don't really know anything about android or its potential & capabilities.

Hi everyone from Spain!

Sorry for my english... :(

I've an issue:

I put the headphones and Spirit on.

I switch off spirit and remove the headphones.

At this moment multimedia sounds do not work in video and audio (VLC, Mobo or poweramp). The "click" when pressing any button stops too. Using again headphones, sounds work properly through them.

After a reboot, it sounds again.

Any solution???

Don't even think about 'root', try asking about third party launchers. You don't NEED to flash a AOSP/AOKP ROM to get to the stock experience, you just need to install apexlauncher/novalauncher, etc, to get rid of touchwiz. I would say only about 20% of the population with android phones actually know about these third party launchers, let alone those that know about rooting/flashing/etc.

KL6 Leak

Guys, for all i have read this new Kernel seems to have some good improvements over KL2, so it got me thinking....

Did any of you tried the new KL6 Leak? If so, how can you compare it to CM9 with KL6?

I hate the fact that Samsung is keeping the look and feel from GB on their ICS, but we can always replace the launcher...

I am thinking about giving it a try and i will post my observations here when i do. It will be interesting to compare CM9 status with Samsung's!

[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
CodeWorkx posted earlier to say that stuff has undoubtedly changed in ICS so apps looking for data paths in Gingerbread may not be there in ICS and causes crashes and such.

So it's probably better to just get the apps again from the market too as you might get a different version for ICS as well. Yes we know you want to keep all your information of those 5000 SMS but do you actually ever read those? from 6 months ago? Or that high score or save point from the game but you shouldn't really do nightlies/experimental with valuable data as it for whatever reason could just get deleted anyways.
