Hey Guys,

after i found some lag/problems with my touchscreen (like no response at all) sometimes, and it always helps/goes away when i turn my screen off and then back on again.

But now (idk if it's because of this build, or my hardware) i have a whole horizontal stripe not getting any information about where my fingers are at any time. That "dead" area starts after the first few pixels from the bottom (where the homebutton etc. is) and is about 1cm wide (direction top), reaching from left to right of the screen.

It's about the whole "Slide to Unlock" area on iPhones.

I thought it was a Hardware problem of mine.. so i got rid of my yellow triangle, flashed some old Stock backup i had laying around and i noticed that the problem was totally gone! next to some laggyness everywhere the area i described was acting normal !

After that i went back to CM9 and the problem is back =/

Any ideas what i can do about it or what this is caused by ?

Thanks alot ! :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
^ re touch screen, its because of the lpb kernel; install lp6 kernel (cm9 one, not Chainfire)
[Galaxy S II General] kevuin:
@mudferret, thank you !!! next to just going back to an older build, is there any .zip with just the kernel i could flash ?

Edit: I just went with the kernel with touch recovery athurh posted a few posts above
[Galaxy S II General] :
Aside from the touch version a few posts above, I can't find the regular LP6 zip, it's posted in this thread, likely within the past 4'ish days. Search owned me :(
[Galaxy S II General] kevuin:
i just flashed the kernel and oddly enough the problem is still there ! =S

now what ?
[Galaxy S II General] BossNexusS:
Anyone know about getting the contact photos show up in the notification screen when you get a text?

I had it before but somehow it disappeared? ..

Sent from your bedroom with my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] klo_lol:
Out of curiosity, may i ask for what reason?
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
Do u have there photo on there contact info?
[Galaxy S II General] athurh:
In my previous kernels there are some unnecessary modifications that can only cause problems.
[Galaxy S II General] BossNexusS:
Yeah.. and it still shows as the generic icon..? I dont know why. I will try to sync thw m again..
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
U can try the followin, restartin ur fone by takin ya battery out, deletin messages or clear cache for the messenger app, seems like the messenger app as crash or somthing.
[Galaxy S II General] Arkanius:
That only worked for me in Gmail, WhatsApp, and other stuff

Never worked for me in SMSs
[Galaxy S II General] BossNexusS:
I flashed the latest build yesterday and the contact pictures showed up. Bit I had another problem ans didn't have time to fix it so I went back to the backup of precious build. Now I'm back on latest straight flash.. bit now they don't show up..?

I just cleared the messenger data and still no pictures?
[Galaxy S II General] Ramelov:
There is a new gapps package 20120215. They added Google+ app. Changelog is here http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Google_Apps
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
Strange :-/ well i guess ull can try re flashin the latest build n see if that works, if not try put a new picture in the contact and then check the messaging app or try it first :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Christian99:
Lol. Sometime I read lots of post here where it seems to be a "placebo effect" lol
[Galaxy S II General] BossNexusS:
Hmm wow.. I changed the contact photo from one my camera album and it now shows in the notification .. before I had it from fb and it didn't show up.. thanks for the fix.

I guess I'll have to change all the *important* peoples pictures ;) lol
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
I knew we would get there in the end lol :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Javiertoralm:
Is it normal that "Android OS" drains the most from the battery?? This is what battery stats shows....
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
Well ur always usin ANDROID OS as soon as u use ya fone. What i find that drains my battery the most is if im usin 3G/H or have my screen brightness up full
[Galaxy S II General] Javiertoralm:
When I had my SG2 with CM7 the biggest drain was caused by the screen, and next was the OS, but now it the way around... My screen is always at the least possible brightness, and to be on 3g or wifi doesn't look to make a difference.

Never the less, I should point that for a couple of days I had it on airplane mode for almost 90% of the time and the battery wouldn't drop at all... I spend two days from 12% to 7% just using the camera. Then it looks like the radio is the biggest cause of drain. Maybe a different modem could help.
[Galaxy S II General] 02ranger:
So far cm9 battery has been awesome but I had pretty bad drain today. When I checked BBS I had a ton of kworker/0:0 processes running, each with a different set of numbers after the slash. I googled it and all the results I found pertained to desktop Linux installs, something to do with WICD. Anybody had this issue? I read a reboot fixed it on desktop versions. Just curious, it didn't really cause any major problems, just faster drain.
[Galaxy S II General] :
AOS is calculated differently (so far) in ICS, so ~50% is normal.
[Galaxy S II General] GuestK00150:
Thanks for your efforts, what`s the difference between the secure and unsecure versions?
[Galaxy S II General] Christian99:
Ok, I did my "home work" trying to find info on this... I dont want to just flash "secure or not", without understanding why... We need to learn one day! Are the CM9 secure or not?
[Galaxy S II General] gh.rohit:
Xda premium app dont work with lpb insecure, why???

It works with lp6
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Insecure just means adb has root permissions, rather than being restricted, the setting is called ro.adb.secure or something like that so its natural to name it insecure when its turned off.
[Galaxy S II General] salleq:
Couldn't find previous info, so:

any idea why adb remount brings the following error:

remount failed: Operation not permitted

Is there some setting that by default denies root in adb or is it just a bug in current CM9 build?
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Well touch kernel LP6 with XXKI4 modem is quite good battery performance package especially in deep sleep mode
[Galaxy S II General] gh.rohit:
what is screen time?
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
2 h 33 minutes. Not high so far, despite brightness is being set up to 25%.
[Galaxy S II General] gh.rohit:
i do some tweaks for battery life, i got 3:40hr screen on with decent use of 3g,call

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1461435
[Galaxy S II General] Okur90:
Agreed. Scrolling needs to be fixed.

Does the so-called security of the kernel matter? I thought it only mattered for the rooting process.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
With most launchers you can sort the apps, wich I find a lot more usefull...

I suggest you organize your apps in folders on the home screens...

Calendar sync not working

After updating to the latest CM9 (02122012) build, with GApps 20120201, my calendar will no longer sync. Is this problem similar to the issue fixed with GApps-fixer.zip? I notice the fixer is no longer available.

Anyone else having this problem? I've tried reinstalling gapps and wiping /cache to no avail. I haven't tried wiping /data, because I don't want to have to reconfigure everything. Is there an easier fix?

Touch button lights off

The touch button lights will remain ALWAYS off.

It should work on any version, but it's only a workaround until a proper menu option exist.

button_lights_off.zip

Aturth, You are a God sent! Too bad I can only hit the thanks button once.

I've been searching for a workaround for the stupid lights behind the soft keys for ever. I was hopping we didn't have to wait until Samsung releases the source code. I love them off all the time cause I have the white gs2 and it looks awfull especially in the dark when you're trying to surf or read.

Bless you,

Hi guys sorry if this has been asked before. Does anyone know if this feature will be implemented in future stable builds please? Looks pretty sweet...It is called cornerstone and it is for multi tasking...and of course i read it is more for the cm9 tablets builds but would it be included in future builds for our s2? Apologies if this is already in the current builds just could not see it..Anyway if it is not it would be a great feature to have..

Shame really as it looks sweet..Knowing how great the team is though anything is possible with them..But if they could of implement it this is a feature to blow most roms out of the way..But anyway thanks for your reply my friend..:)

[Galaxy S II General] danhade:
I know by posting probably a stupid question, I risk being flammed hardcore. I am aware of the search function. I searched through pages on both google and XDA.

1) I am aware some people can and some people can't access the SD card, my phone telling me "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card", is that the same thing? Does re-flashing the ROM fix this issue at all? Before I had my phone sent away for repair, I didn't receive the error message

2) This is basics and I have searched high and low, how do I disable haptic feedback while typing on the keyboard?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S II General] aaron552:
System Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Android Keyboard Settings (button to the right of the item) -> Uncheck Vibrate on Keypress
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
SD card is a kernel issue with lpb. Disabling haptic feedback is found in the keyboard settings. 'vibrate on keypress'

[Galaxy S II General] danhade:
That is where I get stuck. I found the same solution on google and I swear in the past, it worked fine, however, I don't seem to have this option in System Settings, I only have Language & input. Would using Swift X keyboard do something?
[Galaxy S II General] inspiron2:
i'm new to CM9, and how can I mount my phone as a USB storage device? StickMount doesn't work for me
[Galaxy S II General] danhade:
Thanks for the info about the kernel issue :) I just found the answer to my second question. In swift keyboard x settings, there is a 'Audio & Haptic Feedback' option - disable haptic feedback in there. None the less, thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
You cant. Use AirDroid instead.

Communicated using an S2 type Droid while floating in CM9 quadrant
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
I got into a position whereby I was getting FCs on GMail - probably because I was getting a little blase about flashing new ROMs and may not have been concentrating fully. With my track record on multi-tasking, that was always likely to be a bad plan.

In any event, I started from scratch - reinstalled ROM, made sure I was using the latest versions of gapps and faceunlock, cleared cache, etc. I also concentrated this time.

All is well again - worth a try?
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Don't know, I use the 29th build. Haven't bothered with any of the new builds because of the kernel so I can help you there. Give it a try and let us know.

[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
AirDroid..
[Galaxy S II General] gumbald:
I'll resort to that soon, would prefer to fix it though!

I've got a logcat of the crash if anyone cares...

EDIT: Wiped cache, dalvik-cache, reinstalled CM9 and GApps, fixed permissions. Only thing I've not done is wipe /data. Any suggestions much appreciated before I do that!
[Galaxy S II General] danhade:
What advantages does the 29th build have over current in terms of the kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] Stevemeister:
Probably the kernel, but you can also flash the LP6 kernel over the latest build to fix touch responsiveness. Its not a real fix cause the LP6 kernels got some touch issues two but its much less annoying than the LPB kernel touch responsiveness.

I had changed DefaultContainerService.apk so i install some apps now in test i will try to send some Logcat
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
Is it possible to make a ZIP for the lights on, so we can undo this flash if we want to?
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
Delete the lights.exynos4.s0 file it puts in init.d (I presume ?) If not search for this file & delete it/reboot - back to the way you were before you flashed it.
[Galaxy S II General] pd27:
TEST

testing... :)
[Galaxy S II General] navodwickra:
you can't and MTP doesn't work either. use adb/droidexplorer or airdroid. If you don't like any of those flash a sammy ROM.

You may be new but at least you could have used the search function.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
I dont understand your problem, the last version doesnt have any touch responsivness problems, unlike previous versions... :confused:

It does drain significantely more battery though... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] kevuin:
..does anyone have an idea where my problem could come from, next to this kernel ? =/
[Galaxy S II General] bananenlarry:
i don't agree the battery drain overall. my battery survives about 2 days without any second of flightmode or wifi turned off. using it about 2 hours of calling and 3 ours of display on time to surf, write sms or play a game in these 2 days.

the only battery draining thing is the media scanner which is already known in the "known bugs" list from codeworkx. i solve this by killing the process under app management/running when it doesn't close itself.

i'm using 02122012 build with xxki4 modem. didn't test any other modem since using cm9 experimental builds.

thx codeworkx for making our phones better. but i will follow you. sgs2 is my last samsung phone. already had sgs1 which didn't satisfy me at all :(
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Battery drain is not a matter of agreement, it is not subjective... :rolleyes:

After I flash a new ROM I always check and stop media if it is running, the previous version drained up to 4% over night, the last version 30% the night before last and 20% las night, the phone exactely the same setting...

I flashed every CM9 version, some drain more than others, it is not an evolution, it goes up and down...
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Not sure it is the right place, maybe should this post be under the dev thread, but I don't want to get any nasty reply...

I wasted today quite a lot of time finding why I had an error, so if my post can save some time, I will be happy.

I discovered the ln command (link) is rather broken with adb shell.

gabx@magnolia:~/Bureau$ adb shell
root@android:/ # ln -s /system/test /system/etc
link failed File exists

Now let's use bash :

255|root@android:/ # bash
localhost / # ln -s /system/test /system/etc
localhost / # ls -l /system/etc

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Feb 16 16:06 test -> /system/test

Now sym link worked.

Maybe is there a good explaination.
[Galaxy S II General] elban:
try "which ln" on both shells and see if they use the same "ln" command.

the bash behavior is what I am used to, so probably there is an alternate (busybox? shell built-in? a second busybox instance?) "ln" command somewhere.
[Galaxy S II General] salleq:
Thanks to nebkat, this got solved:

first you need to do "adb root" and after that "adb remount"
