I saw that cm9 its finnaly stable, cyanogenmod team just released it and i wanna ask you guys, if i flash this and i`m doing factory reset/wipe cache/dalivk cache/backup/restore on default kernel of couse, do i have any chance the brick hardly my device?Its this 100% safe?I wanna be sure before i flash this.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Depends if the ROM you are using has a safe kernel or not, if you are using one of the Samsung 4.0.4 leaks or a kernel based on it there is a chance you will brick. To be sure you won't brick, flash one of the resurrection edition CMs from the OP with Odin, then use the recovery from that to flash the stable, no chance to brick that way.
[Galaxy S II General] allocen:
What version of resurrection ics? You mean this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 right?

If you flash that with Odin first, then install the stable from the recovery it installs you have no risk of causing the brick bug.

Are you using GO Contacts?

It's been known to cause issues with Google Sync.
[Galaxy S II General] tgl0be:
Everything working fine with 20120811 here...

Maybe you could try the following:

Go to Settings / Applications / Manage Applications

Scroll down to "Contacts Storage", and click on "Clear Data".

Then retry syncing.

(Note that it will delete your phone contacts, but shouldn't be a problem if you're only using Google Contacts)

[Galaxy S II General] :
I guess a month ago I noticed that - USB connection (icon) is not always displayed in a notification bar after reboot. Sometimes device recognizes being connected to usb port and it works as it should but sometimes not. (Charging works like a charm though). It happens only when usb cable is plugged in and you reboot device. (It's not especially annoying cos everything you have to do is just unplug and reconnect cable.) I've been testing stable one for couple of days and I see that the issue is still present here.

I checked FAQ, common issues, tried to search the thread with phrases like "usb+restart" "usb+reboot" "usb icon" no luck though. If I missed this information (which is probable) and it has been already mentioned, so sorry. Didn't mean to "pollute" the thread.

I haven't noticed that either on CM10 builds or ICS-based kangs, only on CM9. Has anybody observed the same behavior?

Hi,

Just installed the stable and all was well until I received a call.

Their is no option to answer or reject the call.

Would a working phone.apk fix this?

If so, please can someone direct me to where I can download this as I'm missing alot of calls!! :(

New Nigthly?? Aug.13th

I thought I read that with the release of a Stable CM9 there would be no more nightly releases but today I found a new one for Aug.13th with this changelog in the BBQ "makerecoveries.sh: Fix up some error reporting. Have errors return a non-zero return value for scriptage.

Merged on Aug 13th at 02:33:55 in android_build" are they still developing or is there going to be a CM9.01 or something.

And second, is it worth to update?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I read the announcement on cyanogenmod.com last week and If I understood correctly no further development is expected, (no new features and so on in this project version). There won't be 9.x.x. only bug fixes.

Same apps force close

I'm having some problems since I upgraded to latest nightly. Some apps force close and I would appreciate if you can share some advice as to why this happens.

MixZing, SoundHound, Apollo, ConverterPad, Mx Player and some more work fine with older nightly but every time I upgrade I get force close so I return to older nightly. I tried this with several nightlies but every time it's the same story so I guess I'm doing something wrong!?

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any advice!

I have some issues with stable version. I flashed it in CWM, wiped data, and here are some things that I found:

Media scanner is VERY slow - for a long time it couldn't find any music on external card. I left it for a night and next day all my music appeared.

Apollo splits some of my albums and their content.

Some sounds doesn't work, even if they're enabled and when volume is maxed - it includes keyboard keys clicks, lock/unlock sound, clicking on launcher icons etc.

There is no unmount button for external SDcard - in Storage Settings there is capacity, but there is no Unmount.

But geko95ek tell me that hes not knows this Modem.

So because them i come here because i used CM9 and its the Stock RIL.

I hope Codeworkx or someone other can tell me whats this for a Baseband/Modem or its have another Name or something.

The App just flash RIL's not Modems. From the Feeling i think my actually-used(KJ4) Modem is not Bad but i want to know whats for a Modem this XWLPO was.

The LQ6 Modem (the other recommended Modem) realy sucks on my Phone).

So i hope you understand what i want to tell you ( despite my not so good English ;) ).

I have flashed the stable version but there are some issues I encountered.

1. The Back button as "kill app", function does not work.

2. Sometimes the screen goes black of a sudden and I need to long press the Power button to start up the phone.

3. Cannot play Dark Knight game, it loads endlessly. Tried on other ROMs, worked very well.

:'(

Thanks edbertin

When I was receiving a call, the slide option was below the screen and you could just make out it was there.

Realised it was my fault though as I was upgrading from a April nightly and applied the dialler back button fix which screwed everything up.

So just reflashed stable and all is fine. Other than the back button being in what I feel is the wrong place. Although, I have read this is where it now is on the gnex.

If you have not any problems with signal reception, 3G data or dropped calls, then you don't have a RIL problem and you shouldn't touch the RIL. It's safer to change the baseband, aka modem or radio.

Why are you spamming the thread?

1) yes it does, you have to enable it and they increased the time to actually kill. You shouldn't use this feature if you aren't a dev, that's why its in the dev section.

2) long press power, boot immediately to recovery, pull proc/last_kmsg save to a text file, post on paste in or pastor, post link here.

3) no idea

Wiping Dalvik is necessary?

Wiping Dalvik is necessary? I install new nightlies every 3 or 4 days and I always wipe cache but never Dalvik... and so far it seems to work ok
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
Hi,

I have a quick question regarding the CM9 "stable" (version of 2-3 days ago).

I noticed the "status bar" ( is that the name? or "top options" or connectivity bar...) is only appearing after good 4-5 seconds.

I explain: I'm at the "home screen" with the desktop. I slide down the "top" to reach the usual icons such as wifi, gps, data...

That's the menu that appears 4-5 seconds, at first it's entirely "blank" (normal black colour, as the background). Then only the blue icons appears (wifi, etc...).

1) I did search known issue, forum, and google with a few keywords (task bar, status bar, connectivity, etc...).

2) This CM9 is excellent, worth stating that beside that "strange" behavior, I haven't seen any issue, not even minors. CM9 is a pleasure to use, well done.

3) Background:

I had flashed only 1 nightly following page 1 tutorial (old nightly from may or june). It was fine, that "top task bar" was quickly appearing.

Then I flashed the stable version of 2-3 days ago with those instructions:

Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9:

- Copy CM9 ZIP to your internal SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM9 zip

- Reboot

So it means for the stable version I did not do any "wipe" or anything. Actually all my contacts, apps, etc.. where still there after flashing.

Now I see that top thing appearing slowly.

So should have I wiped anything?

I suppose if i'm the only one it means that something went wrong with my device software but I only flashed 1 nightly then upgraded to that RC as per instructions...

Anyway, it's not a problem at all, I was just curious if something went wrong in the instructions or what could be the root cause.

Thanks!

PS: I would attach logs for a decent investigation but it's not worthy to lose any time for that, I am probably the only one with that anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
If it works good then not necessary
[Galaxy S II General] vivek1038:
it is advisable to wipe dalvik cache if you don't wipe then fine but sometimes apps misbehave or FC's due to this

Anyway in my opinion you should wipe Dalvik because it does no harm to be on the safer side.:)

Yes, you should continue to wipe Dalvic Cache. It's good for placebo.

As a recommendation, first try several modems before changing the RIL. If that doesn’t work, pick a modem that’s recommended in your area and change the stock RIL with the ones proposed by GetRIL. My best performance is achieved by combinations that supposedly don’t match, very weird.
