Thanks for your report, kid, but he was refering to the CM Kernel, not some other guy's kernel. Particularly, to the 3.0.32-CM kernel included in the May 22 build.

Stop talking about Siyah in this thread, it only confuses some, and is NOT supported (If you want support, go bug Siyah)
[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
The sensor fixes are related to the drivers, not the kernel, right?

EDIT : Fix is @ arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-u1.c, so it's not in the kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] :
But if he tries flashing Siyah and the wifi get fixed, he will notice that is a bug on the kernel, :) If even with Siyah it keeps crashing, its something with his router.

does anyone know how to get video chat to work in google talk without being on wifi?
[Galaxy S II General] praveenthivari:
With regard to my previous question, I did full wipe with format of /system /cache /data and reinstalled the latest build and found that the notification drawer is narrow only when only few toggles (<6) are enabled . The moment it requires a slider (ie >6) to show more toggles it becomes wide and remains as it is. The problem remains even if I set the slider to hide.(ie it doesn't matter whether the slider to hide or not the problem remains). The only solution is reduce the number of toggles to <6.

Here are the screenshots:

Light sensor

The light sensor works much better with Siyah than with CM9 kernel. Why's that? With Siyah, the brightness is fantastic in the sun or in a complete dark room. With CM9 it's either too dark or too bright.
[Galaxy S II General] jerseykat1:
where can i get Siyah for my i9100, and is it just a matter of me flashing it and rebooting? i would like to fix the auto brightness, its so slow to respond now.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yeah, I got this too, even hiding the slider. Fortunately, I use just one page :) Until there's a fix, can't you use less toggles?

Get it from here.

And yes it is but once flashed don't report bugs here as its not supported.

I was like you, always wanted stock. But when I tried, I was like "wow, how can a kernel change change so much?!". I really recommend you try the latest Siyah ;)

You can always return to stock kernel very easily!

CM9 ring lock & pattern?

Hi all

I am new to CM9 but not new to custom roms (have used many over the last year), and since installing CM9 yesterday have a few questions about the lock screen. I tried to Google and search for a concrete answer, but the thread is simply too big to be able to check all the results of the search…

I really like the ring lock system, and have previously been using WidgetLocker to have it on my Spike Pure ICS SE rom, but now I am on CM9 I would like to get rid of WL altogether. However there doesn’t seem to be a way to have both a pattern lock, and the ring lock system.

Surely I can have the ring lock, and when I swipe to the right (lock icon), it opens up a pattern lock to allow me to unlock my phone. That way I have quick access to TeslaLed and a standard lock screen (with missed call notifications etc) and the security of a pattern lock.

Cheers for any help.

smartassv2 governor

Hi everybody!

The governor smartassv2 was built as a loadable module in nightly build May 22 for both n7000 and galaxys2.

To use it, even after rebooting your device, copy paste the following into a "adb shell":

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
echo "#!/system/bin/sh" > /etc/init.d/99smartassv2
echo "modprobe cpufreq_smartass2" >> /etc/init.d/99smartassv2
echo "echo smartassV2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor" >> /etc/init.d/99smartassv2
chown root.shell /etc/init.d/99smartassv2
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/99smartassv2
mount -o remount,ro /system

Now, reboot your phone (or run the 99smartassv2 script manually)

Note: There might be a bug that makes the phone restart sometimes when the smartass2 module is loaded but another governor (ondemand for example) is used. If you want to use another governor, just unload the smartass module (by removing the 99smartassv2 script and rebooting).

I hope you get the same positive performance/battery experience as I've had so far (it depends how you are using your phone of course)!

I've been having a problem ever since flashing the 20/5 build. My internal storage seems to have gone missing from my file explorer. Only way I can find it is when connecting to a computer via USB. I checked the "emmc" folder, but it's empty.

I've flashed 22/5 (second) now, and it's still a problem. Seemed to happen on the 20/5 build, where it said my SD-card was damaged, and i had to format it. Now it only shows the external SD in file explorers. Anyone who have experienced the same problem? Or could help me?

Battery drain after receiving MMS (3G off)

Running 20120519 build, I don't always enable mobile data, and when an MMS comes in, it seems to trigger a battery drain ("Messaging" appears under Battery Usage).

Anyone else experiencing this? I only get useless MMS from my carrier. Any workaround? Thanks in advance.

A temporary solution - if you only get useless MMS from carrier - would be deleting your MMS APN. Your phone won't get them.

Ha yeah! Its pretty funny. Seriously though. If we can ignore the first post asking the question, we can ignore the later posts asking why no body loves them. I personally ignore about a million a day. People responding aggressively to them makes people with useful questions reluctant to ask, which has a detrimental effect to the rest of the xda community. Its a shame, cos it makes the forum look very hostile to people who want to learn. I for one was a bit apprehensive the first time I posted just because of some the responses to other noobs.

[Galaxy S II General] thracky:
Interesting, and this is quite possibly my fault, but my battery life has greatly decreased in this latest build. Android OS is of course the main culprit, so I figure maybe I'll just do another full wipe and install, since I just wiped cache before installing the 0117 build.

Edit: just bought betterbatterystats, looks like facebook was on the fritz, but we'll see after disabling sync and closing it.
[Galaxy S II General] Darkstriker:
For those interested i edited the 01102012 build to only flash the boot.img (to get the KP8 kernel).

You can just flash it to get back to the KP8 kernel. (This is the modified version from CM9)

All creds for the content to codeworkx/the CM9 team. I just edited the package. See attachment.

This fixed the data-loss issues for me.

Edit: Of course if you do use this, refrain from posting any bug reports whatsoever. (Especially in the development thread)

Edit3: The KP9 kernel fixes the issue as well. You can download it here and avoid the ext SD issues.

Edit2: For those who missed it (how to get your external SD working with a current build and this kernel):

Use Root Explorer

-navigate to /etc

-longpress vold.fstab and choose "open in text editor"

-find the line

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

-change it to:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/extsdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

-Menu Save&Exit

-Reboot
[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
True, but it should give an accurate description as to what level the battery is actually at. Without calibrating the battery may show as lower than it actually is, or higher. Worth doing so you know there is cause for concern if it rapidly drops, rather than panicking over a false reading.

One thing I've noticed since running CM9 was if I restart the phone when the battery is around the 40% mark, after the reboot it will show as around 10-15% and then gradually climb back up after a while if left alone. Calibrating seems to fix this issue for me.

Guys, use this man's flashable kernel.. Then edit the vold.fstab and your external sdcard will work.. The kp8 kernel from chainfire doesn't allow you to enter you extsdcard.. Thanks dude :D
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Edit the vold.fstab? What to? What do you mean?

I think I've missed something.
[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
People are flashing the KP8 kernel onto newer builds to get data back (many have issues with it dropping out on later builds).

But KP8 also was from a build that mounted the external sd card differently, so if you flash it to a newer build, it won't find your external sd.

the fix above (editing the vold.fstab in /etc) allows you to access files. however, for me, media scanner was not able to find the music on my external sd even though i could see (and play) the files in ES File Explorer.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Flash this kernel then edit the vold.fstab under /etc/vold.fstab

Find the line

/mnt/emmc

And change it to

/mnt/extsdcard

Then clear the data inside media storage then reboot.. And you can access your external sdcard trough /extsdcard or /mnt/sdcard using root explorer or similar applications :)

Rubbish. Benchmarks are not even remotely representative of how a phone will 'perform' with real world use. Benchmarks are for people who fap off over benchmark scores. The rest of us just use our phones.
[Galaxy S II General] lazer.74:
I generally agree with you... but you missed my point.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
You can easily cheat benchmarks. If a newer update has one of those such cheats that ends up giving you a 40% higher benchmark score, it doesn't mean your performance has increased by that much or even at all. So benchmarks are completely useless.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
First time Ive flashed CM9 Since its initial release back in Jan.

[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
No, I got your point just fine. You said "for example you can use them to tell if there's any performance improvement between two builds, between two kernels, etc. (given the same device/setup/environment).".

All benchmarks do in this regard is possibly produce different benchmark scores with different kernels or different builds. They do not necessarily equate to different 'performance' of these kernels or builds with regard to the user experience, battery life, or how you actually use the phone.

Benchmarks are a nonsense on phones.
[Galaxy S II General] lazer.74:
True, simply add to my previous statement ("given the same device/setup/environment"): given the same cheat :D
[Galaxy S II General] bartoloandre98:
Benchmarks are just for show and random.However if you put any trust in benchmarks you could use them to prove that dancing naked in the garden for 5 minutes affects device performance
