[Galaxy S II General] :
Firstly i just want to say that lately we have more of an influx of users using cm9 more than ever. Blame Samsung for that. They have made such of a mess of their latest build that we are getting more people than ever here. People read from other users "oohh cm9 sounds so wicked, or cm9 looks so sweet and feels so nice" that more and more jump on the cm9 bandwagon.

Now that would be great if 90% of those users actually know what they doing though when they flash the latest builds. But unfortunately they do not. Hence why 51% of posts here. Fair enough we all have to start from somewhere. But see here is the thing. I am still learning how to play with my cm9 build cause i find a new thing everyday and i still get amazed. If i find an issue i will try and see if others have stumbled on the same issue and if not i try and word my post in a way it does sound stupid to other more experienced members. It is all about research and learning. Lets not forget that really cyanogen mod is for advanced users and for those who like playing with techy stuff..Not for little kiddies who like to have the latest and greatest but not have a clue on how to use it.

Just cause some have the expensive toy does not mean they can go ahead and destroy it...Hence why research and learning comes into place..And unfortunately they do not as they fill the thread with crappy posts. Now for people who get frustrated with them it is simple what to do. Just post a link to the answer and that is it..No need to stress yourselfs out due to the inability of others of not reading. Anyway do not want to rumble to much i just want to say i learn a new thing every day, i want to thank the members here who helped me out in the early builds and most importantly to the devs who put their free time to make such a beautiful OS for us to use...Cause if you guys think of it cyanogen is one beautiful masterpiece to have on any handset.

Thank you and apologies for my post

[Galaxy S II General] Ph4ZeD:
Everything you've said is true, however, the only way any of us learnt about CM and our phones in general was by jumping in feet first and messing around with them and flashing different ROMs. I'm so glad I took that chance because I probably would have sold my phone if not for CM, no joke, because Samsung's efforts are so poor.
[Galaxy S II General] vastac13:
Well that's odd.. maybe google servers are somewhat dorky atm... will try again tomorrow somehow
[Galaxy S II General] :
true and i will not deny that..by jumping in feet first yes and messing around..but it is about knowing what you are doing by jumping in feet first..ie search and read before doing so...i want to know what i am doing with odin say first rather than thinking oh i am going to flash this and see what happens for the sake of it...

there is jumping in feet first and then there is the same thing but taking a bit of caution before i do that. and if you do it, then at least trial and error comes to mind so you do not do it next time.:)

and you are right..cm9 and in general all cyanogen mods are a pleasure to have
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
So you want me to quote the first post here over and over again? :p
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
SAMSUNG does whatever they want, (very good phones, TVs and even my PC), if you dont like, do it better, like CyanogenMod, or buy something else, but please stop *****ing here :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] MartnG:
I've got a little question. Everything is working fine except there's one things that's bothering me a bit. My cell provider is some kind of virtual provider that doesn't own an own network. They're roaming on a national network from their mother company. But now the phone always thinks I'm roaming (it's national roaming) and I have to enable data roaming to have internet. But when I go abroad, I will get a very big bill... And that's not what I want right now ;)

But here's the thing. When I'm on a stock samsung rom, or a modified samsung rom. The phone knows that my provider uses the network from another company. So the phone is not roaming and when it switches to another network my data disables as I don't have to turn on data roaming.

Now that I'm using CM9 again I have to be very careful with the data roaming and I can't leave it on all the time.

My question is: What did Samsung to their software to recognise I'm not really roaming and link my provider with the given network? So that it knows I'm not really roaming and that I don't have to enable data roaming?

What file do I have to edit or what do I have to do to make this work on a non-samsung rom?

Thank you for your help ;)

Kernel Panic

I dont know if anybody had this problem before (i know i never seen this error before)... maybe it is just an issue with the latest nightly build...

I was in settings -> advanced -> screen -> mode, and when i select "movie" ... bam:

[RST_STAT = 0x20000000]

KERNEL PANIC

UPLOAD MODE

It does every time :) hope it helps. Any one else with same issue ?
[Galaxy S II General] Nexu$:
Maybe it is not rock-solid across all flavors of 802.1x but works flawlessly for me.

I am running the latest nightly 20120314, and just took this screenshot 802.1x EAP

No issues here on AT&T with the i9100. With the later builds, that is. Try reflashing the one from the sixth as well as the kp8 modem after fresh downloads.

Browser Sync

Hey everyone! Whenever I try to sync the Browser with my google account I get an error at the bottom saying "sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly". I see a red sync icon next to it whenever I tick the browser option as well and it fails.

Does anyone know a workaround this if there is one at the moment? :)
[Galaxy S II General] archer797:
You can use KP8 modem. In fact it is recommended by Codeworkx. As far as I have noticed, it has no adverse impact on battery life or functionality of CM9.

Go ahead and try it.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
You never tried CM9, right... :confused:

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

You must be talking about a different ROM, my phone with CM9 drains only 2% over night... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] maceddy:
When adding Exchange account it wants to encrypt my device, like in CM7, but nothing happens.

I only get this screen

What does this mean? I left it on all night without result...
[Galaxy S II General] zdenoh1975:
Yes, its true, but then, when is screen on, drains 2% per 5 min... :-/

ISSUES

I have come across a few which i think should be fixed.

1. USB mass storage mode as cant dump much into it.

2. File manager is not there.(though its avail from market)

3. Music crashes now and then.

4. Task manager would be an added advantage.

5. Some applications dont work... ( I know its not something which is a ROM issue but still a question in my mind)

Kindly help me answer them, and Thank you for helping us experience this ROM. its really awesome.... :-)
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Not mine, you must be doing something wrong, like playing with CPU... :p
[Galaxy S II General] terenceleechan:
long press home and you have your task manager
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
It's a very early alpha, and as codeworkx said in the dev thread many of the issues cant be fixed without kernel sources, which haveyet to be released by samsung, be patient things will get fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] sushil2210:
For the ICS i have tried to press the back button for a long time to kill the app.... the long press home does not help.... :-(
[Galaxy S II General] terenceleechan:
1) long press home and swipe at the app image to kill it

or

2) go into settings developer options and activate kill app by back button
[Galaxy S II General] nussie:
Every morning (and every subsequent hour) I hit the refresh button on the dev forum in anticipation of a new build. Like a small child waiting to open a present :D Isn't it just a let down each time theres no new build hey ;) Guess I have CFD :p Loving CM9!!
[Galaxy S II General] wazka2:
+1
[Galaxy S II General] navodwickra:
I have tried almost all the ICS roms on XDA (sammy and AOSP) but I always come back to CM9 because it's so stable and once you see the true beauty of ICS you can't get back to GB :D CM9 may have less functions than a sammy ROM but it's pretty much stable and smoother than any of 'em.
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
Yeh, got to agree with you there. Sammobile have been hinting that there will be more leaks from Sammy this month.

I hope it includes the kernel source as well, to let Teamhacksung progress.
[Galaxy S II General] navodwickra:
Lets hope so. I am pretty sure until they get kernel source or a stable kernel from samsung we won't get any more updates. Let's just patiently wait and enjoy what we have ;)
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
I don't know why people keep claiming this.... I've used every type of rom and still nothing is as snappy as miui (galnets).

This is still beta and it is very obvious when playing around installing things etc etc. Went back to MIUI as was fed up with a number of games crashing randomly, don't even think about saying it was user error... I know what I'm doing...

While this is definitely a great rom and somewhat stable, it does not compare to a feature rich Sammy custom rom or a very snappy MIUI rom. Genuinely, opinions aside.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
I also love the simplicity of the interface... :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
You cannot compare the battery performance, for now, of a sammy or asop 2.3.7 rom! For me in CM7+KL1 battery last for almost two days, today with CM9+KP8 it´s hard to get form 9am to 23pm.

I know that this isn´t a bug, it´s the lack of the kernel sources, but what your saying isn´t right.
[Galaxy S II General] SamuTnT:
appenend to me once, after the reboot i've selected another mode (i had no KP) then i reselected "movie" and it works, no more KP..
[Galaxy S II General] Yathi:
You are decent mate and I don't think you are doing it intentionally. But please read the OP properly if not most of the thread before you comment. It says clearly in the Original Post that feature requests will NOT be entertained at this point. If you don't read that and make a stupid comment, you WILL get abused!! And BTW FM is at the bottom of the priority list and maybe it will never be fixed. So if that is a deal breaker, you can always go to some other ROM instead of crying here asking people to fix it. Another solution: Use internet streaming Apps for Radio stations(for example TuneIn Radio). They work just fine.

Am I f**ing retarded or what? Just found the option in the settings menu... Sorry for my stupidness ;)
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Is that a proportional to how much people dislike the original ROM, or the number of phones sold :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] :
now now young man manners please.. no one is *****ing i am just en-lighting people and hopefully they take notice. and *****ing is different from actually being informative ;) and yes Samsung do whatever they want and they are good at hence why i am a proud owner of a galaxy s2...but when it comes to the latest ICS build well you can read the results yourself around the forums
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
I agree with much of what you say, but in IT terms, the bit above goes against the grain.

In ITIL and other Service Management disciplines (and of course I accept there are differences here) you use Problem Management to identify root cause and fix the root cause where possible, rather than undertake the frustrating and wasteful activity of repeatedly fixing the symptom of the underlying issue.

This allows the enterprise to focus on adding value, rather than scooping poop. Aside from anything else, why should the responsible users of XDA have to accept the fact that their experience of the site can be compromised by others who are too lazy or ignorant to read? Or think...
[Galaxy S II General] Nexu$:
Even better news is that the Top10 CM devices are 560k+, which means CM actually PWNS them all...

Thank you, CM Team - you officially make hundreds of thousands of people happy with their device of choice :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] :
nah its ok i do that for you:p
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
I have to say, I agree with what both of you are saying. I learnt everything I need to know, from thinking "how do I do that?" Then watching a YouTube video of someone doing it. From rooting, to solving a soft brick. I only really stared following threads when this one came, although I hadn't actually registered with xda by this point. I only used this forum to search and read about a rom. Or a how to guide. Had no need to posy because all the information was already here. People joint, just yo post and ask a question is completely unnecessary, because the info is already here. I think of it as going to a library, and asking the librarian what page a quote is in a book. Essentially all the info is here, its our responsibility to find it.

General rule of thumb, if you experience a problem, someone has probably posted and solved it before you.

That's my opinion. Ha that was a long one.

rice and pea(ce)
[Galaxy S II General] Ph4ZeD:
Of course Samsung make good stuff, but by definition we are using this ROM because we think its better! They do some things right and some things wrong like all companies :)

The good old HTC Desire.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Sure, I use it too, also with SGS and GIO, but *****ing about SAMSUNG is unnecessary :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] :
True my apologies mate i should of rephrased that better. What i was trying to say, for some posts i read people getting frustrated by the repetitive questions(which i would as well) and respond in a angry manner. Rather than responding just either link them to what they need to read ie first page of the thread or wiki or just ignore them completely..Apologies for the way i put it the first place.:) and what you said you are right. but we are a community here and we all started from somewhere. so by giving them guidance hopefully it would be better in the long run...(highly doubt it though:D)
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
This are installs per device.

Full List: http://stats.cyanogenmod.com

Over the last 3 months installs on galaxys2 doubled.

This means there are a lot of guys who don't like samsungs new ics but prefer cm9.
[Galaxy S II General] annie42:
new firmware just up, updating :)

EDIT: sorry was excited, it was the build of yesterday in fact :(
[Galaxy S II General] Furiath:
Hi there,

I was reading this thread abit and others becouse I'm interested in non-official ROM, and imo I found that this CM9 is best out there.

I have a noobish question. I'm not gonna ask about how2install or something, theres awsome guide about it already.

I've installed offcial release yestarday. Flashed with ODIN with no wipe. I had stock rom before 4.0.3, so my all apps and setting of those apps and other personal stuff is still out there.

1) Switching to CM9 requires full wipe and can't be done without it, right?

2) In future if there'll be new version of CM release I'll be able to just flash with non-wipe like I did with stock ROM. So I'll have to wipe my phone only once while switching?

Thanks you for your answere. And sorry for stupid questions but I just wanna be sure.
[Galaxy S II General] :
:D indeed my friend indeed.;)

@Diggedydog you are absolutely spot on mate..well said
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Like us :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] mossief1965:
Thanks. Will try that.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
1) YES

2) YES, only wipe cache/dalvik cache, which will not erase your app data.
[Galaxy S II General] Furiath:
This will delete my contacts? Could you tell me what cache and dalvik cache contains?

Thanks gabx for your fast answere. I'm downloading and installing now.
[Galaxy S II General] -pól-:
Guys could someone have a look at this logcat and tell me why my wifi connection keeps dropping?

http://db.tt/q2YrLGMM
[Galaxy S II General] SamuTnT:
none of your private datas will be lost with cache e dalvik wipes, these are system related and used by the os to speed up, don't worry the os rebuilds these cache at first boot.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
It won't delete anything that matters, but if you want to really educate yourself about it and not trust people like me who often don't know what they're talking about, why don't you SEARCH AND READ.
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Pretty impressive stats! Though i imagine that the s2 has less installs overall because it never actually got a stable version of CM7.1 before development shifted to CM9
[Galaxy S II General] opethrocks:
Is there any way to control the audio_out 1 wakelock? Ive had my phone on silent all morning, no touch sounds or unlock sounds and i havent played any muzak. Its been running for 5m 41s
[Galaxy S II General] Ramelov:
Chainfire has just posted a new version of his LPQ kernel, which should fix sd problem. I'm wondering if it's possible to use his method to hax a kernel LPQ for CM 9 for the time being until Xplodwild's kernel is released.

Sent with Tapatalk from my GT- I9100
[Galaxy S II General] Furiath:
:D

I was really searching and reading. I'm kind a person that like to do everything by my own becouse those things are easy, and ask only if I can't find an answere on my question. For someone new to those things it may be hard sometimes. Like everyone says wipe dalvik cache, and all guide say same thing, but none says what is this exactly and responsible for.

Thanks for your help.

I have last question (I hope): why CM9 pack is around 110mb and stock rom is 380mb?
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Can't help on the logcat - I'd have as much chance reading the Iliad in the original Homeric Greek.

However, I did see quite frequent wifi dropouts on the latest LPQ modem. Switching to an older modem seems to have helped.
[Galaxy S II General] NOWE:
?

CM7.1 stable was released on 2011-10-10
[Galaxy S II General] :
no bloatware, no crappy samsung stuff and more down to pure Google magic the way it should be..Hence why the big difference in size
[Galaxy S II General] SamuTnT:
most of custom/AOSP roms are about 100+ mb... it depends by the fact that are built from google's sourcecode, without any software addition that instead samsung and other manufaturers put in their stock roms..as far as i know..
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Because Samsung has packed a full load of **** in their roms
[Galaxy S II General] -pól-:
Thanks for the reply, but this has been happening on every modem I've tried and on several different routers
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
So unless someone can make sense of the logcat, you may be into wipe territory...or have you already tried that?
[Galaxy S II General] -pól-:
Tried wiping and restoring only user app data, but I have the same issue
[Galaxy S II General] Furiath:
It must be alot faster w/o that useless samsung stuff.

Just flashed CM9 using guide from wiki. used last nighty build from yestarday. Just skipped option to Wipe data/factory reset. As someone mentioned that I need to only wipe cache. So I did.

Rebooted and have now that new logo (of diferent colors squares flooting around over and over) for last 10mins. Is that normal?
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
The 'stable' release was decided to be too buggy to be called stable, this is the statement from the cyanogenmod website:

Upon review of user feedback and bugs that have been discovered with what was released as 7.1.0 stable, we no longer feel the 'stable' tag is appropriate for this rom.

The download is still available, however it is now being treated as a Release Candidate, rather than a proper stable release.

Sorry for all the confusion, and any issues you may experience. We will release a 7.1+ once we feel the ROM has matured to a truly stable status.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
+1 for your honesty and self derision. We ALL should have same behavior.
[Galaxy S II General] ProtoKun7:
No, but coming from a stock ROM without clearing data probably caused that.

Did you come from stock or from another nightly?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
1- Modem has nothing to do with Wifi.

2-Wifi has some known issues (back to few pages you will find a post of Xplodwild confirming it). It can connect to some networks and not to others. I guess it is a question of security level. Many users experience it. Can you even connect to 1 network, or no network at all? Are you sure everything is well configured in the settings? Wifi direct or thethering are something else. You don't need them to connect to wireless networks.
[Galaxy S II General] Furiath:
ProtoKun7 I came from stock 4.0.3.

I did backup with CWM before update. now I cant turn on phone.

Recovery mode and flash stock or what to do now?
[Galaxy S II General] ProtoKun7:
There's the problem; you only just wipe the cache coming from a nightly. You should do a full wipe if you're coming from stock.

If you still want the nightlies, enter recovery mode (turn the phone off, turn it on holding Volume Down, Home and Power) and follow the instructions in the first post for installing for the first time.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
or the someone is wrong, or you didn't understood quite well.

Let's be clear : coming from Stcok ROM, as it is the case, please do a full wipe : wipe data/factory reset. It is an universal rule: when doing a major change on your device (be it a phone or computer), it is strongly adviced to do what is called a CLEAN install. It implies wipping mots of things from your old system.

Do a clean install.

THEN, when CM9 will be running, next updates will only need wipping cache.

Do not worry about your contacts, they all are stored remotly by google !! When syncing your account, you will find all your contacts, even your wifi settings !! Awsome, right ?

I can connect without problem. The problem is that the connection is dropped every so often. It reconnects automatically, but I'm without connection for a few minutes.
[Galaxy S II General] Furiath:
after I couldnt turn on phone I putted in recovery mode and flashed stock. rooted. my contacts gone. cwm used to restore backup i did before doing CM9. now I will backup contacts to google. how to do it with phone numbers etc? as have only email addresses there? after that ill be fine. ill do full wipe.

thanks guys for your support.
