[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
ah i see so it won't boot until i use cwm to flash latest nightly and g apps? or it will but resurrection would be older version? just want to get it right in my head if i pluck up the courage to do it this weekend.

if i can ensure the one i choose can be a daily driver I'll be happy! lol
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
It will boot even if you don't flash anything via cwm. Its just an older nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
thank you for taking the time to respond, as with everything tho the newer the nightly the newer the build therefore less bugs right? so if i just stuck with the RR build id have a slightly less stable version from the start? having read through these pages over last few days im reading of signal drops. is this happening to a lot of devices or is it fixable? that is really the major thing that could steer me toward taking the plunge-i did at one time get this problem on stock but it seems to have calmed down considerably and not had it recently! :)
[Galaxy S II General] SlideRnl:
About the signal drops. I had it with my phone and CM9 but I flashed another Modem+RIL and I think it's fixed. Haven't had massive signal drops since monday :) I chose XXLQ6, but what works for me doesn't mean ot works for you. You Will have to try different modems to find the correct one. If you encouter massive signal drops ;)

I have FC of android.phone with latest nightly. Is it a bug? :(
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Not again lmao.

Spun out from my RENOVATED One X!
[Galaxy S II General] Lownita:
Dont worry, I THINK it is related to my new sim card. With another one (same carrier though) no FCs. Now I have to find out why this happens?! With stock rom, everything works fine. So the Sim Card should be OK?

I have a theory: Is it possible that the automatic configuration SMS messages send by my carrier are causing the FC of android.phone?
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Guys im on the latest Nightly and im getting strange partial wake lock process name AudioOut_1 in betterbattery stats

i have attached the screenshot below
[Galaxy S II General] GalaxyGusta:
yea it happens on any galaxy s2 just leave it if you want this wakelock not to happen disable touch sound in settings
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Thanks mate :good: and what about this new wake lock which is eating my battery like hell
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Check network tab in BBS and look for the apps which are using your 2G/3G data, you might find an app eating too much data or an app unexpectedly using your data.

Just a guess.

BTW which theme you are using and why are you posting this in 3-4 threads?
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Alright thanks mate :good::good::highfive:
[Galaxy S II General] n.pandya:
Well after changing modems a couple of times (let each one run for 10 days at least) the signal drop has reduced to once in approximately 3 days. The GetRIL app says my modem matches.

Usually happens at night when the phone is in deep sleep resulting in complete battery drain when I wake up in the morning. But happened in the middle of the day also a couple of times when I was using the phone.

Is there any permanent solution to this problem?

Also wanted to know if this problem occurs only in rooted S2s or is a ROM specific problem or is a general Galaxy S2 problem?

I rooted a long time back and don't really remember if any signal drop occurred while I was using Touchwiz.
[Galaxy S II General] Eclipse_Droid:
I have even had this issue running stock 4.0.4 with cfroot kernel! I but never had it again since using rr 2.7 with latest siyah kernel.

Ps I use lps modem

Powered by RR 2.7 with Siyah
[Galaxy S II General] vibecatalin:
I've been using this CM9 for a month and I'm very happy with it, no force close, no signal drop, no bugs at all. Just one little think that is not making me fully happy with this cm9 is the incoming call screen. How can I make the sliders look transparent so I can see the caller's picture full? I've searched on the forum and on google and found no modded phone.apk to replace. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Awesome app BBQTools https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bbqdroid.bbqtools

1. It can take LOGCAT, Kernel Log and radio log. Now you can take logs in a easier way and help the Devs here.

2. It can show you some nice CM statistics.

3. Downloaded the latest Gapps directly to your phone. And also download CM updates. (I think CM Updater is not yet there in CM9?)

4. Provide change logs like BBQLogs.

5. Nice tutorials.

6. Access Gerrit code reviews directly.

7. Recovery tools like install a zip, wipe, fix permissions and reboot to recovery.

I must say it's a must have app for CyanogenMod users.
[Galaxy S II General] Dexter_prog:
Hey there. I'm new to this phone (but not new to android). As on my older phone I was using a rom that was as closer to CM was possible (since no official CM was released), I want to also use CM in my S2. I searched the forums and couldn't find a thread of the stable CM9 releases, so that's why I'm posting here.

In order to have the latest CM9 version I should install cm-9.1.0-galaxys2.zip , right? http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxys2

I currently have stock unbranded 4.0.3 with Siyah kernel. Should I just flash the rom with CWM or should I first install another kernel? I'm asking this because I was following this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide

but it says "This guide assumes the device is already running stock Ice Cream Sandwich available from Samsung. If the Samsung Galaxy S II already has the ClockworkMod Recovery installed, skip this section." and it doesn't mention anything about kernels anywhere
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
The CM9 ROM (in fact all CM ROMs) comes with the stock CM kernel bundled with it. Just flash it and the GApps for ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] Dexter_prog:
but in order to have the kernel installed do I have to flash it using ODIN or using CWM to flash the cm9.1.zip file installs the kernel as well?
[Galaxy S II General] voncrane:
The cm9 zip file comes with d default kernel, so flashing it will replace siyah
[Galaxy S II General] Dexter_prog:
OK, I flashed it, thanks! But for some reason my internal storage can't be properly usb mounted

Also, this may be a silly question, but CM9.1's kernel is free of the brick bug, right?
[Galaxy S II General] nitinvaid:
Yes These days all kernels are brick bug free
[Galaxy S II General] Teejai80:
I'm presuming most being still have RIL crashes with CM9? I get one or two a day, sometimes a quick on/off and sometimes I have to reboot. They all seem to happy when the battery is under 50% though which is strange. When it crashed today I loaded up GetRil app, matched the Ril with the baseband and then lost all reception. Phone was reporting baseband as unknown, installed a new modem in CWM with now change. I had to get the phone to Wifi to download a from to flash over the top. This did the trick. Anyway this is all just FYI, my question is.

Are most people still having Ril crashes?

PS: I know blame samsung
[Galaxy S II General] koodiifin:
My wife's sgs2 has water damage and the menu button acts up sometimes (is pressed repeatedly on its own). If I flash cm9 and use the navigation on screen buttons will the hardware buttons be disabled? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
No it won't be disabled. However if you flash CM10 and there is an option to remap hardware keys. And with that you can select as "No action" for menu key. So that from now now menu key is actually disabled.

However I don't know if it disables just the user input or the hardware wise itself. So just give a try.
[Galaxy S II General] Dexter_prog:
The other problem I am facing with CM9.1.0 stable rom is that I can't get it to connect to my mobile data network. I mean, calls and sms work, but 3g (or anything slower), no. What am I doing wrong? I used GetRil and got a matching RIL, but still no luck :/
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
coming form another rom, just follow the guide on the first page of tyhis thread.

First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM:

- READ FAQs: http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.p...sked_Questions

- Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH! (if you're unsure, flash the CM9 Resurrection Edition)

- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery

- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your internal SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM9 zip

- Flash GApps zip

- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your calendar sync will not work)

- Reboot

- Don't restore Apps using Titanium Backup!

Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9:

- Copy CM9 ZIP to your internal SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM9 zip

- Reboot

Using the noob-proof ODIN method:

- Download CM9 Resurrection Edition

- Download GApps and put it onto your internal sdcard

- Open Odin

- Choose cm-9-XXXXXXXX-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.md5 as PDA

- Boot your phone into download mode

- Connect your device via usb to your computer

- Wait till Odin has fully recognized your phone

- Hit the start button and wait till the flash process is finished

- Device boots automatically into recovery

- Flash GApps

- Reboot into CM9

- Follow above steps to update CM9 to lastest available version (Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9)

the links of downloads are all there too.

the nightlies are here

welcome.
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Couple of points that might help in one or two of the longer running debates:

1. I believe all battery drain issues are ultimately manageable but WILL require effort and experimentation, and MAY require compromise. My experience was that most of my issues were related to data synchronisation. It took me several days, much adding and removing of widgets and lots of tweaking of settings but my battery life is now on a par with GB. I believe the two biggest factors in achieving this were freezing GTalk and stopping Browser Sync...but that's just me. There are some excellent tips and suggestions in the following thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443603

2. For those concerned that successive builds seem to fix some things and break others; isn't that a good description of an ongoing development process? I am not acquainted with the way the developers are working, but it's fairly clear (backed by descriptions of this as an 'alpha') that what we are seeing is a series of nightlies rather than a series of release candidates. I'd therefore expect development to temporarily 'break' some stuff as they fix other stuff or add new stuff. Codeworkx and the CM9 team are only able to work with that they 'source' from that development stream.

Everything surrounding this ROM is labelled as 'experimental' so if you are expecting a consumer-quality experience you are in the wrong place.

EDIT: Codeworkx posted pretty much exactly this while I was writing. Having it posted twice may help some of the reading-refusers though...:-)
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
@codeworkx I thought you weren't going to reverse engineer the drivers in order to get HW acceleration(just waiting for sources instead). Nice to hear that you do, but it sounds like hard work.
[Galaxy S II General] maceddy:
Strange issue yesterday.

Phone was hot, did not respond to any button. Screen was off.

Removing battery was the only option. When turning on again battery was near empty (from 60%) No idea how long it was in this situation :P

Happened in other builds too BTW...
[Galaxy S II General] lapje:
And related to non working GPS. Is there maybe some way to make it work by putting some older driver or file back into the system? It seems that GPS signal is complete cut off now. Did not manage to contact one single satelite.

Would be nice to have some fix :)

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

Is there some way that pictures taken by camera are saved to the external SD card? Maybe by editing some file or something?
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
+1, just can't get it work and don't quite understand this fakeflash.

At the moment I have to restore GB nandroid, download update, then restore back to CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] fighter_foo:
Thanks for the explanation.

As I do not read teamhacksung.org, I am not aware of that.

Did try with root explorer, astro file manager and es explorer, all had the same results.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
It's probably the kernel. Cause we just changed the kernel to LP6.

Samsung is also fixing stuff by breaking some other stuff.

i'm sick of it and i'll simply wait for a stable ICS release from samsung, because then we'll get kernel sources.

Doesn't make sense to work on something which is changing every few days. Waste of time.
[Galaxy S II General] cobalt553:
Can the battery last 11 hours of normal use before draining completely?
[Galaxy S II General] lapje:
Can imagine you get sick of it. Also strange that Samsung is not capable to improve the ROM in every new release but instead of that break some important and default functions.

Thanks for your answer.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
We've patched the ROM-Manager manifest to support GB and ICS on the Galaxy S II.

But i don't know if the ROM-Manager App on your Phone already supports it.

Please test if your S2 running ICS gets detected correctly by ROM-Manager.

Make sure ROM-Manager is updated to latest available version.

If it doesn't work, then we have to wait for a new ROM-Manager release.
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Yeah, I think you're stuck with going that way if you want to use ROM Manager. I believe ROM Manger is being updated to work with ICS.

You should still be able to download the zip and install through recovery though.

EDIT: Again, beaten to the punch by Codeworkx...

EDIT2: Just checked ROM Manager on my 0124 build and the SGS2 option is available
[Galaxy S II General] Blackcorsa:
Hi Codeworx,

you said that the GPS Problem in Version 25.01 is a Kernel issue.

But un 24.01 GPS works great. Any idea to fix ? thank you and sorry for my poor english
[Galaxy S II General] lupos89:
When I power on the phone there is a little pop up on the lower side that say: sending...

Is it something about the rom or maybe an app that I have on the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
Rom Manager now detecting Galaxy S2, flashing new recovery now, thanks Codeworkx + Koush :)
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Use

/system/lib/hw/gps.exynos4.so

from LP2.

Updated the GPS module yesterday to LP6 for testing.

Because some users are having problems with GPS on LP2.

But every new version is getting more bad.
[Galaxy S II General] lapje:
Everything fine? So also gps is working on this 'stock' samsung rom??
[Galaxy S II General] Narzsa:
Yup my Gps is dead too on build 25. Rolled back to 23 where it worked fine :-)
[Galaxy S II General] maceddy:
No problem here with ROM Manager and CM9...

I can see the CM9 Experimental builds.

ROM Manager 4.8.1.4
[Galaxy S II General] SOS38:
You guys do an amazing job:D.
[Galaxy S II General] Mtdjassen:
Example of the kind of drain I'm experiencing with yesterday's build. (20 min of music listening, one failed phone call and no more).

-edit not moaning or anything, I know it's experimental and all, just thought I'd show.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Check that you have set up your APNs correctly. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
Getting constant random signal drops, tried changing modem/rils, no hope...just waiting for CM10 to become stable.

Also

This is dumb...Jellybean gapps (people, dialer) won't work on ICS, right?
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Reboot phone. Should work. If it doesn't, check APN.
[Galaxy S II General] Dexter_prog:
They are correctly set (I even tried removing and readding them a thousand times). I've also rebooted the phone several times, full wiped, reflashed, etc.

Hmm, so I guess my problem is not thaaaat uncommon, right?
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
Its mentioned cm kernel comes with 9.1 but is this safe kernel? Once flashing this Rom will the wiping cache be dalvik cache then brick the phone with the brick bug?!
[Galaxy S II General] Listy2021:
The brick bug is not present in cm9/10, never has been
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
So by me flashing cm9 the kernel will change too allowing me to clear cache safely? And if i needed to revert would the kernel remain or would stock kernel in turn install with it? Because if i wiped cache after going back to stock in theory i could brick the phone!
[Galaxy S II General] Scuttsy:
Same with me, always pull out my phone to see no signal, a reboot fixes it but that's it. I try switching airplane mode on and off but it gets blacked out and stuck on.
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
Latest nightly.

No more RIL crash since matched RIL/modem (XXLQ6) with GetRIL. It's been a month since then.
[Galaxy S II General] Teejai80:
Wow lucky you! Still getting quick disconnects on latest nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Tried changing modems?

Spun out from my RENOVATED One X!
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Follow the noob-proof instructions and nothing will go wrong. Stock Samsung kernels (4.0.4) are dangerous.
[Galaxy S II General] GalaxyGusta:
change the modem..

i had this problem and chenged to LPX moden and now i have solid connection

before i had LQ6
[Galaxy S II General] pschjelderup:
Recommendation: 4.04 nee lpx. smoother. faster. no ril issues. great battery life. rds fm radio.
[Galaxy S II General] Teejai80:
Yeah tried LPs, k13, lpw, lq6, lpx and the local Telstra modem. At least it doesn't drop calls now though.
[Galaxy S II General] Lownita:
I am looking for a auto brightness profile/settings for my phone. I want it brighter in general than it is at default (with siyah 4.1.5). :)
[Galaxy S II General] Dexter_prog:
how can I get that one? I could only find XXLPX
[Galaxy S II General] kreygor:
I am on the 9.0 stable build.. I was playing around with the settings and noticed application groups under settings>profiles. What functionality does it have?
[Galaxy S II General] pschjelderup:
how can I get that one? I could only find XXLPX

It's the latest stock ROM. Samsung has really got up to speed.
[Galaxy S II General] tomurbanowicz:
Is any chance to allow in CM9 home button to answer a call?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
CM9 is feature frozen, so there will be no new features only bug fixes in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] GalaxyGusta:
It will take ages to make CM10 work just the right way

I think they should at least try to merge some of the good stuff like touch keys binding
[Galaxy S II General] gazdajezda:
Why? CM10 is already better than 9... it has some glitches, but nothing special (at least for me).
[Galaxy S II General] tomurbanowicz:
CM10 has a lot of bugs...
[Galaxy S II General] fjkum:
Most annoying big is the constant crashes...hated it.
[Galaxy S II General] gazdajezda:
What crashes? Ril? I don't have any...
[Galaxy S II General] GalaxyGusta:
Still you have a chance to have this issue so that's why it's not a stable daily driver

Also hw composer doest work properly
[Galaxy S II General] gazdajezda:
All right, but to me it's ok. Hw composer it's same as in cm9 so there is no difference regarding that. For me, JB is a winner over ICS (CM9). It's faster and better...
[Galaxy S II General] jcasares:
For "you", but for a lot of people as you can see on the nightly thread is almost unusable.

RIL crashes quite frequently. Until that is fixed a smartPHONE can't have such software as a daily driver.
[Galaxy S II General] Listy2021:
Very cool concept that, good spot matey :good:
[Galaxy S II General] Bazzek:
2 Bluetooth issues

Before i installed CM9.1.0, i had the same problem on stock rom (but only marginally, now it is constant). So, this post could be a general SGS2 issue, not a CM9 issue, i am sorry if it is.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 I9100XXLPW

Kernel: 3.0.32-CM-ge9cef6c

CM version: 9.1.0-galaxys2

Build date: Aug 28th 2012 15:13 PDT

Builnr: cm_galaxys2-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76L eng_20120828.151325 test-keys

Problem 1:

I cannot have more then 2 bluetooth devices paired to the phone in CM9.1. On stock i had 4 (2 car kits, headset and laptop) working. Is this intentional, or am i doing something wrong?

Problem 2:

All audio connections with bluetooth refuse to work with the microphone. So the 2 car kits and headset do media and phone audio on the headset, but they do not let me speak to people. I cannot figure out why, help here is very much appreciated.

On stock rom i had the same issue after about 10 minutes of phone call, anything short of a BT re-pair failed to fix it.

Let me know if i need to provide logfiles or so (and how lol).

Vincent.
[Galaxy S II General] Listy2021:
EDIT: Please ignore, "problem" rectified itself :p
[Galaxy S II General] jeremija8:
Ignore..mistake
[Galaxy S II General] FredC94:
Insecure lockscreen doesn't work either -> http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...on Model Network Owner Summary Stars Priority

This is a big issue for me, and CM10 is definitely a no go for me. CM10 is probably faster than CM9, but not better.
[Galaxy S II General] muzzyx:
CM team and all other devs need to include a working message center number option in their message settings menu. I was on CM9 and had to fflash back to stock because i could not send SMS and needed to change the message center number. This is why i wilk be using sammy based roms from now ob because i dobt want to keep flashing roms just to change a message center number.
[Galaxy S II General] gazdajezda:
Did you try CM10? You had any problems with it?
[Galaxy S II General] muzzyx:
No because cm10 is allot buggier?
[Galaxy S II General] gazdajezda:
If you say so...so it be then... doh
[Galaxy S II General] akhil17kr:
hello people..

I m using cm9 stable version 9.1.0 on my galaxy S2 i9100 with cm9 kernel build with this rom..

My problem is that there is no sound when I type on any keyboard, no sound while for touching any icon from Homescreen n drawer n also no sound while phone boots .

I have already increase the volume to the full of everything in sound settings. Alarm, media,ringtone etc.

& also already selected all options of sounds I.e. sound when touching keypad,dialpad etc..

Everything works like sound in music, games, application application as, movies, dial pad etc but not only while using keypad n touch sounds.

What would be the problem????

already tried wiping cache and dalvik cache but still no solution.

also tried factory resetting from with cwm ..

now touch sounds works but after a day usage again same problem. no touch sounds....

what should I do now to solve this problem ???

[Galaxy S II General] lini:
Anyone tried the new nightly? It seems they included the OTA updater in this one.
[Galaxy S II General] danny1909:
Yes the OTA updater is in it.
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
using it now, waiting for the next nightly to test :)
[Galaxy S II General] ccrows:
That's alright, CM9 blows ICS Stock out of the water as it is already... :)
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
In the latest nightly (build 1021) there's the OTA update client, but even if I have a build newer than stable version 9.1.0 it warns me of an update available (pointing to 9.1.0).

I don't know if it's a bug or "by design" behaviour, but to me is something "unpleasant" and maybe "confusing".

Just a side note to something really good (as cm9 has managed to become).

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] Eclipse_Droid:
I noticed this too. I think maybe it is due to the version number being greater (9.1) as nightlys are all just 9. Just ignore it:)
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
I think its because the app shows you all versions available(nightly, stable,,,). If you didn't installed the stable version, it will be showed as the latest version available.

Sorry about my english.
