I found this wiki very useful when I started rooting.

I just flashed the lastest CM9 Nightly 20124013, and now whenever I go into my camera, it says my SD card is full and it won't allow me to take any pictures when my SD card has a ton of space left on it. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy S II General] tepeah:
Thanks a lot!

I have done my backups now. So if I follow the noob proof instructions from the original post, shouldn't my phone get rooted with the appropriate kernel automatically? Or do I need to root with the CF kernel first and then follow the noob proof instructions? Sorry if I am a bit slow :o Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Just follow the noob proof instructions, kernel, etc... will be flashed.
[Galaxy S II General] Brodie.K:
Yeah I noticed that too. Just flashed the resurrection edition using MobileOdinPro and unfortunately the camera still doesn't focus on anything I try to photograph. It's still always a red square.

Think it's safe to assume it's a hardware issue now?

BTW: I know there's a free version (just like supporting developers when I find their work useful). Thanks for the heads up though.
[Galaxy S II General] JLowe:
The notifications in the top bar are hard to recognize since the usual notification icons aren't displayed anymore in ICS because of different handling (i.e. K9mail). Is there any workaround for this issue other than using popup notifier?
[Galaxy S II General] unease:
You can directly flash resurrection and that will bring you to CM9 but I recommended the root with CF kernel so that you can create a nandroid backup of your existing stock ROM. :)

Hmmm... Even I am leaning at a hardware issue assumption. Try re-flashing camera firmware New Camera Firmware Update Now- 27th May 2011 [APK HERE] [POST YOUR FW VERSIONS] But I guess this works on stock. Not sure about CM9

Try installing stock samsung rom and check camera. that will give you a more firm result on whether its the firmware or the hardware....

Anyone else in the forum with better recommendations?

just wanted to add my experience with the controversial GPS patch:

I've used GPS_patch_CM9 with 2 different cm9 nightlies and it did decrease time to lock on both occasions (from "too long to measure" to a few seconds).
[Galaxy S II General] Konpon96:
I know that notification in UMS is needed to mount sdcard to computer. I cleared dalvik cache. I clear it every time I flash an update(/cache too). When I connect my phone to computer as MTP or PTP there is no notification that takes me to USB Connection Settings, where I can switch between MTP, PTP and UMS.
[Galaxy S II General] mfenetre:
I had exactly the same experience (from too long to <~3 seconds)

You should be able to with Siyah Kernel (previously the CPU was clockable to 1600MHz, but that's been restricted back to 1400MHz). However, this shouldn't really be mecessary, and probably will reduce battery life.

I've noticed that GPS is acting weird. This isn't the "lock time" discussion, it's regarding accuracy. If I'm stopped at a red light or in traffic, my GPS goes crazy and keeps rotating my heading until I start moving. Once while I was on the highway it actually turned me around and was acting as if I was reversing. LOL

Anyone else getting this?
[Galaxy S II General] CoolCheese:
Not sure what you mean. External sd has always been mounted through mnt/emmc

Now there is nothing showing on the sd card though my backups show up in recovery. What's worse is I flashed back to 0411 and I still have the problem. I'll try restoring the latest backup but have a horrible feeling it'll be the same.

Appreciate any help.

Spirit FM Radio

for those still interested in having fm radio,an xda developer has an application that works with CM9, he has three versions, one free, one light and one full or unlocked.

I tried the free version and works perfect, but you need to configure the sound method, so, after you install the application you need to configured in the spirit fm application in Menu-> Settings-> Audio-> Method to "Galaxy S2 Test" (near the bottom) for sound (the default setting doesn't work).

here's the link of the developer if any of you want to try:

Hi guys.

I seem to have a problem. Lately people had started telling me that they tried calling me but my phone was off, but every time I checked it was on, and had a solid signal. Sometimes I receive calls fine, sometimes I don't. Also, one friend texted me and I received the message only after rebooting. If I try and make a call or send a text, it works perfectly.

I'm on 0411 NIGHTLY, but this happened also when I was on 0404. It's true that I have quite a few apps installed, but none of them caused this problem when I was on Samsung GB or ICS.

I also tried changing the radio, from LP6 to LPS, but still getting reports that I can't be called because my phone is off.

I'll gladly post logcats, the problem is that I don't see a pattern for this behavior so I don't know when to start the logcat.

Also, what I saw was that every time I got a report that I can't be reached, my phone screen was off, so maybe the deep sleep is a bit to 'deep'.

Hope someone can help with this. Also congrats to codeworkx for supporting this great rom!

Battery drain issue : part 4

OK, we are almost there. I would like to thank Entropy512 for his post on debugging battery drain, I was at a friend's place last night and registered my phone with his wifi access point (same encryption, different channel not that I think it matters), and no drain for the 4 hours I was there, when i came back home with wifi on, drain started again immediately.

So I seem to be a victim for dirty wifi, I am now trying to debug this part, since I have IPv6 RA on my network (which never was a problem in Gingerbread), I have decided to disable this first and see how it goes after a few hours.

I think I will after that start looking into shark for root, to do an hour packet trace and find out the culprit once and for all.

Fun times :)

It's not about brightness. cm9 camera makes blurry pictures, try to make a photo of hair (cat or sth. for example), Samsung camera will make a sharp picture, hair on cm9 is a blurry wall of crap. -.-

You probably did not notice the "sharpen filter"-postprocessing that is applied on

pictures when you open them with the gallery in samsung stock roms.

You can see it on the menu text which is rendered too sharp.

There is not really a difference when you compare your "samsung"cam pics with cm9 pics on your PC screen.
