Can anyone help me with multilingual unicode rendering "LIBSKIA.SO" file for ICS 4.0.3? The one in MiUI gingerbread one support it but cannot be used with CM9.

Could someone help me compile to make this support please?

It just won't rendering correctly on CM9.

battery life

i see people complaining about latest build to be poor in battery life. let me tell you that im having pretty good time so far on latest build. was having a drain with LPH modem but flashed LPB which is liable for speed and battery life and its lasting the entire day with regular/heavy use with some apps like talkdroid open all the time... also there are some other tweaks i havent applied yet to get even more...

[Galaxy S II General] zbraniecki:
decided to give current state of CM9 a try (Feb 20 build, LPH modem).

First impressions:

* battery life is ok, a day of moderate usage with some mid-day charging in car dock brought it to 29%

* wifi/data is good, work reliably

* Navigation can't find GPS signal 90% of time

* when it does find it, it works strange. As in, I'm stuck in traffic on red lights, while my navigation shows that I'm turning around and redirects me all the time. When I have speed, it works better.

* Facebook app works but not as a sync service. I also cannot connect FB contacts with my Google contacts.

* When I enter an app (like Jefit, my gym app) and I set up a timer, leave the app, and reenter it, it relaunches while previously it would just get me back to where I left.

Overall, it looks great!
[Galaxy S II General] LiorScreamsSandwich:
I sometimes have problems with GPS..

Some apps wont work for me

Some apps work but not good, they crash, they bring up wrong colours ETC

My weather/clock widgets sometimes freezes and doesnt update till i restart or manually update it

most of it great though :)

Not related to the build, CM9 or the radio, you can't sync your contacts with FB on ICS without using a third party app!
[Galaxy S II General] richardjp:
@ melorib

Like you, I too am getting great battery life. I've installed almost every app/widget available on the market, have my screen on all the time, utilise my wireless and 3G simultaneously (more bandwidth this way), whilst constantly talking on my phone (I have a tendency to talk alot of cr@p) and yet still I have 57% battery remaining after 21 days!!

My Samsung's running so well that tomorrow I'm going to removing and throw away my battery, after all it's a paper weight. I going to rely solely on my light sensor to power my phone, I reckon 10 hours at least during the day!

Somehow it is.

The GPS chip is working with your Baseband Chip for tracking purposes.

Never thought about how police can track phones? ;-)

Yeah i know what you feel now: "Throw Phone away and never touch it"

But dunno if it affects how accurate your GPS works.

[Galaxy S II General] ajayshah95:
Why have a phone if you don't even use it. You probably take it off charge, leave it on standby and watch it, then decide to post your battery life. No point having 'great' battery life for a phone with numerous features that you don't use, you might as well get a Nokia Brick for £10.

Hi guys. I have an issue that is really annoying me. When I attempt to wake my phone up, it just reboots. It is not happening all the time,but usually. And this is the only thing what prevents this rom to be my daily. I asked for this some people who used this rom, they said me that they haven't a problem like this. I am using 01062012 cm9. And there was the same problem with me in previous versions. Thanks in advance. Sorry if my english is bad...
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
OK...running CM9 for a few days now and my opinion is that outside of the known bugs cm9 is gonna kick ass big time. If this is an alpha I can't wait for an RC !!!!

And then even when you advice to do that, what are the previous steps to get to real stock SamCrap, and from there on alllllllllllllllllll the needed steps to really get him going well. Come on, you don't post help you SPAM.

I'm daring you to make a very nice post to show what he really needs to do at BIG problems, show some screens, bet i can do better in less words.

A wipe / factory reset device is recommended, non less non more'.

would be time that wanna be i know everything types of persons shut up here and let other give real advice how to get out of troubles.

No calender. 1 email, no auto sync. I play no games, brightness on 0-25%. I have no Skype. Debugging off. DSP uninstalled, no music (I have an iPod).

From what you have told me, I can safely say, its a crock of ****. We have the same firmware, hardware everything. Only diff if apps running and what we do with out phones. I use mine for less, yet you somehow have 57% battery after almost 2 days!? I think someone is telling porkies.

yep, 216 dpi. I know of the consequences, BUT I'm asking an otherwise obvious question because the problem is this: I'm using this density since months and app updates (let's not talk about fresh installs from market) have always worked. Now for the SAME apps I can see the availability of an update only by looking at release date and due to incompatibilities I can't even update an already installed app.

[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
It's really no problem to get 2-3 days out of your battery.

Just depends on your usage and how you care about your system.

My sgs2 is laying around at home with wifi and sync enabled and i'm getting 4-5 days out of it.

Everyone who's expecting long uptimes while playing games or beeing connected to IRC or messaging services is simply dumb.

More Usage -> more drain

Less Usage -> less drain

If you don't watch your system, mediascanner goes crazy and makes cpu working at 100% for some hours, then your phone is simply dead after some hours without using it much. ;-)

Watch your processes and understand how everything works.

If you're in a area where your phone has to switch every few minutes between 2g and 3g because your provider sucks, then your battery is dead after some hours. That's life.

There are 1000000 things to care about and which can affect battery lifetime.

A Phone is no magical black box. Everything can be explained.

Just wondering if anyone has used the app Evi, it's similar to Apple's Siri as it is a voice recognition service.

Just a suggestion, and this is not a demand, but a thought. If Evi or another voice recognition app was implemented into CyanogenMod (CM9 or CM7) it would be pretty cool, e.g. double tap home button to access, very similar to Siri.

Wonder if it's possible? What do you guys think?
