Hey sorry for my noob question. With the new update I decide it to wipe data. When I try it said that can't wipe android.secure or something like that. After that I checked the "new" setting and in storage use internal was checked. But it asked me for my Google account so something is wiped :)) am I doing something wrong or everything is OK?

Try placing your init script in /data/local/userinit.d

You will probably need to create the userinit.d directory

I have an init script that changes the hostname and it refused to work from /system/etc/init.d. I put it in /data/local/userinit.d and it works.

My carrier name shows up as Bell instead of Virgin here like it does on stock rom. Any idea how i should go about trying to submit a patch for this? optable.db appears to be the same between cm9 and stock rom. Since Virgin is using the Bell network I feel it is just a minor issue with subsidiary networks.
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
Thanks, but still nothing.

I'm sure is the classic little thing that crashes everything. But it ain't that complicated to have missed something...

Edit: Well, I made a script with voltage control to see if it aplied at boot, and it does, so... I don't know what the hell is going on with mine xDD

I'm just gonna rebuild it based on VC's one.

[Galaxy S II General] larxor:
Ok been enough months am following the update and the weekly nightly versions for ics

Till now no stable one can install at phone and whould be perfect for the dialy use .

Cm9 looks so far from servicing the people looking for clean ics .

People were talking about the need or the necessary ics code to make the rom kinda stable and good .

Even the cm7 still not enough stable unfortunatly.

Developers fix a problem in a nightly version after couples of nightlies the same old one will back again and never end ..

Lol got tired of months tring this rom but time to even change my sg2 as one cm9 gave a last hope to run my phone petfectly and guess they will never finish this rom .

Thanks anyway for your trings but doesnt worth anymore

[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
Thats because unity game engine sucks

Temple Run uses the Unity Engine, same as Shadowgun and lots of other Android games that seems to be working fine. Probably just a game-specific issue, maybe you guys can report it to the devs, worth a try at least.

Is it normal this drain?

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
I get one once every day or two... It's some hotplug bug in Samsung's sources - I'm still trying to track it down. It's a ***** when it only happens once every day or two. It's a problem even in the original Samsung source drop.

Yup, it uses less power unless it's misbehaving (such as if you have a dirty network)

Drain-hunting techniques are well documented... My Known Battery Drainers thread in I777 general has been linked to from the portal before.

And yet... People constantly complain about bad battery on wifi and NOT A SINGLE WIRESHARK CAPTURE HAS BEEN POSTED. NOT ONE. People just complain and provide ZERO DATA WHATSOEVER.

In case you haven't been able to figure out, codeworkx and I are having no problems whatsoever with battery drain. CM9 has provided some of the best battery performance I've ever seen from my device. So if you've got a drain problem, it is NOT going to get fixed without data collection.

There's a slight chance there might be an issue with the wifi packet filters not enabling properly, I've seen it before back on XXKI3, but I haven't had time to work it as there have been higher priority issues to deal with. It's only a problem on dirty misconfigured networks with lots of broadcast spam.

sorry if had already been asked but there are alot of posts to go through.

Latest nightly + Siyah 3.2b results in pretty decent battery life for me. Unplugged three hours ago, an hour+ ride in the metro (music all the time and constantly searching for network), quite a bit of web browsing and just a little gaming - and I'm still with 90% left. If my memory serves me well, on any previous build I'd be below 80% in the best case scenario.

I feel you bro. In this case I guess you will just have to install a file manager from Google Store first (a simple and free one like Explorer) and then install apk files. I know it's hard but life is full of pain. It's the easiest way, trust me.

There should be access to Google Play in Romania. I'm sure about that. If you can't technically use Google Play, let me know and I'll figure out something else.

Test different modems, I found LPS drains worse for me than LPR or LPQ.

A full wipe, clean install with 270412 (latest nightly) is working great!

1xIMAP

1xCalendar

Calls 1hr or so

Getting 32hrs+ towards two days.

Make sure you check the sync intervals on everything, like FB needs disabling. You may need BetterBatteryStats and BatteryMonitorWidget to try and diagnose drain problems from apps. Once you have that sorted, should work well!

Kernel is the "root" of the communications between phone software and hardware. System is released by google, but it's FREAKING DAMN SCREWED UP by Samsung. They hack everything that is standard to make it non-standard-android-compliant. So it might work with THEIR TouchWiz hacks, but not on AOSP.

I dont complitly uderstand what exactly Samsung messed - kernel? If so, i can understand.

if sami pretty optimized kernel for there system...

or problem is that Samsung libs works somehow differ and cannot being using by other apps correctly?

another one - as far as i remember, all systems, kernels built from Linux sources MUST be published for free community? So Samsung is broking Linux licenese here not doing it?

Ehhhh... sometime i am sorry for Goggle went to Samsung instead of HTC... i like the HTC way, Sami getting really assholes filling theire monopoly... for example in OLED screens... in Google attention... Inventing really sheet Bada, trying unify with Bada Android interface using this TW...
