Nope you are the only one... :rolleyes:, working fine as intended after 2 seconds...

You are right.

It does work, but it takes longer than it used to earlier.

I had to long press back for abt 2 seconds, it used to be quicker earlier.

A curiosity: when Jelly Bean will be released, will it be trivial for you CM developers to make a full working build with the new Android release for the SGSII?

Will you need Samsung to release the open-source drivers like they did with ICS? Will they release it even if they don't update the stock release with TouchWiz Jelly Bean?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, here goes my question::

Im struggling with a ****ty connection now and my only chance is to connect via ad-hoc mode to a windoze 7 laptop sharing me over its 3G crappy connection.

I guess android does not support ad-hoc still but... is there, please, any way on earth to have so at least for a short period of time??

Thanks!

Bottom line: Ad hoc enabler somehow, please??!!

I hope that there will be possibility to permanent disable second Mic.

With second mic enabled my callers hears echo of their voice - I had this issue on stock firmware. It was most important reason why I change it to CM9.

As long as the second microphone was not working, I had no problems...till now.

No problem with that on CM9 or Stock for me. Weird.

Hi,

is there a modification of the cm9 clock app to add stopwatch/timer/sleep timer in it? Also it would be cool to combine the dialer with the contacts app like in iOS. Anyone knows mods or .apks to comply with thoughts?

What happend with killing app back button, i know i have to press for 2 seconds, but with fluxi wont work, i know you will not help with another kernel if not the stock one, just is a coment, thanks
[Galaxy S II General] aaron552:
IIRC, it's just using -O3 on gcc (which requires a lot of changes in the code to get working), so it's not even a compiler, just a compiler flag.
[Galaxy S II General] lbthomsen:
When I experienced this it was because the micro-USB connector was dirty. Having to fix with what was at hand I managed to clean it sufficiently with a filter from a cigarette (unused!), but I am sure that is not the best tool for the job.
[Galaxy S II General] igalmarino:
Try MIUI
[Galaxy S II General] prbassplayer:
Quick clean. Never nice to call someone else's work crap.

Side note Linaro tweaks is 2 parts. The toolchain with (what I understand) -O3 flags for the kernel and rom sided modifications. Does it work or not? Not my place to discuss. From my understanding you won't see a difference unless both sides have the optimizations
[Galaxy S II General] :
"Toolchain XX.03, Linaro GCC 4.7.1 NEON FPU optimizations for ARM Cortex-A9"

It's on fluxi's features. I don't know the difference between the "great" linaro doubling performance and this linaro. The "great" one is toolchain + flags? And this one is just toolchain? Well, don't blame me, I undestood really nothing, hehehe.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
It's toolchain + flags, also the entire AOSP Rom could be built with linaro compiler enhancements which will never happen on a Samsung ROM, however the thing is that it's a compiler toolchain and therefore doesn't work on precompiled binary driver blobs, since Galaxy S2 series devices require a number of Samsung driver blobs to work, even if the full linaro package were enabled (which would require an immense amount of work) a lot of the performance gain would be lost anyway due to the proprietary blobs.

Even on Nexus devices where there are fewer issues with proprietary blobs, the benchmark results are a mixed bag at best and certainly not what the hype suggested the performance gain would be, so the troubles getting the whole thing working properly seem to be less worth it as most of the performance gain seems to have been placebo at least in part.
[Galaxy S II General] atifsh:
Download connectify and use it, ics yet to receive any kind of ad hoc mod.

I use it regular!
[Galaxy S II General] :
Okay, resuming all: toolchain + flags, AOSP only, but toolchain + precompiled binary driver blobs = no performance gain

If it's correct, good. If it's wrong, leave me alone, ahahah. It's a bit complicated to me.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Well, the whole CM9 is AOSP based with the exception of the stuff that makes a particular non-Nexus device go. The performance gains that were suggested in the articles all over the web came from taking an AOSP ROM (Nexus Stock) and compiling the whole thing including the kernel with the new toolchain and compiler flags.

This is still theoretically possible on the GS2, but a good portion of our kernel is proprietary drivers, so the actual gain that we would get from the optimizations is significantly reduced. I'm not saying there wouldn't be any benefit, but it won't be as significant as on Nexus devices, assuming that they could even get it working.
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
But I have to pay to use it for 3g... :-(

The free version does not let you....

Never mind: yoooo hooo yooo hooooo!

Done and working....

Any special reason why ad-hoc is not directly supported?

Difficult? Kernel related?
[Galaxy S II General] zborn:
In that case, wouldn't the kernel Xplodwild was working on be a solution for this. It wouldn't be using any propietary drivers or not so many. I know that most of the things coming from samsung are black boxes but there should be another way around the corner...

Anyways, Im really thinkin about swiitching to a GN. Because it all looks so clear for nexus phones... even though i like some challenges from time to time..:D

Tapatalked from my Galaxy...
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
In theory if there was a complete open source solution then it would be roughly the same as the Nexus, the thing is without any documentation creating completely open source drivers is very very difficult if not impossible, not that I don't think Xplodwild could do it, but it's going to take a lot of time.
[Galaxy S II General] jinsiik:
Hi does anybody experience the phone.apk force closes at 180dpi

Thanks

EDIT: its actually the process com.android.phone , not too sure if its go something to do with the dpi or not
[Galaxy S II General] :
Go back to 240. Custom DPI is not supported. If you change it and you find any issues, you can't ask for support.

And a new nightly is available on http://get.cm/?device=galaxys2
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
What's the current status of the lockscreen bug? It's removed from the known issues, and I remember codeworkx saying it was fixed. I flashed yesterday's nightly, and I have this bug. It takes 1 full minute to unlock my phone :(.

Should I flash that old kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] Mark ter Grote:
why should you change yor phone to 180 dpi???? sorry for being a noob but what does dpi do?
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
There's no bug for the majority of users, if you still have it do a full wipe, reflash latest nightly and retry.

If persist (but I find highly unlikely) install the old kernel with old WiFi drivers .

Chaning icon for lockscreen-apps

Hi,

does anyone has a problem to change the lockscreen-apps icon to use the systemicon?

Each time I choose systemicon it says "Settings aborted" and it ends without chaging the icon.

Thanks for any hints how I can solve this!
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
I also still have the lockscreen bug and I did full wipe. I don't think it is fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] anthonypiccolo:
It seems like there is a new nightly build every few days. Does everyone keep flashing their phone with the latest? Is it possible to ever get the battery to an optimal level when you keep flashing the latest version?

Spotify goes into offline mode

Is anybody having issues with Spotify going into offline mode even though the phone isn't offline? I used the preview version on stock rom and was all good, but the final release on CM9 keeps on throwing me out of the fun fare... It might be a Spotify bug, but I figured it also might be due to how CM9 does its magic? Anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
I know this sounds stupid, but doing a "full wipe" isn't as easy as some of you suggest. I spent a lot of time to set my phone up the way I like it, I can't do that every week :D.

[Galaxy S II General] aaron552:
What are you talking about? Flashing a new ROM shouldn't significantly affect battery life.

I flash every nightly and I get ~11-12 hours of moderate use out of it.
[Galaxy S II General] ole12:
baseband is modem. No, you do not need to update it. You flash a new modem just as you flash everything else. People change modem due to signal strength and battery consumption.
[Galaxy S II General] anthonypiccolo:
I thought it takes a few charges once you flash to see the effect on the battery. Or is that maybe just when you go to CM for the first time?

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

So is there a consensus as to which is the best modem for CM9 or should I just try each one out?
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
Maybe you forgot that "I can't do that every week" would apply to a stable released (or even better Stock Samsung) ROM.

Since CM9 "nightly" is an "experimental" build which everyone should use "at their own risk" you have to live with the fact (or said "risk") that it "may contain bugs or glitches" and whatever...

So I agree that setting up all your stuff could be a pain in the (you know what, don't you?), but in my opinion you have to live with that.

Not to mention that you have plenty of ways to backup your data and stuff (nandroid advanced backup and advanced restore anyone?).

If you feel this unfair you are welcome, as I did myself and incredible amount of "starts from scratch" like most of us around here.
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
1) Don't do it if you don't know why!!

2) You want the "best", the best, only the best! You expect your modem to cook food for you also?? If it works and you have decent signals quality stop there you dream race for "the best".

3) I posted on the very same topic information on modems (and asking some additional infos in the first page). You could at least do a simple search, prior to pollute with crappy questions.

:highfive:

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

I think it's the "dots per inch", if you change that value it will all look bigger or smaller.

For example sometimes the virtual keyboard can be too small if it's not the appropriate config....
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
Different modems seem to work well with different carriers (and sometimes in different areas depending on what type of gear/spectrum the carrier is using in that area). This thread has a heap of posts from Optus users who have tested different modems over the past 8 mths or so. You can search that thread, or try out a bunch of modems until you find one that works well for you.

Having said that, if you're not having any connectivity issues with the one you're using now, don't change it.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
I am on CM9 since January, and was on CM7 before that for a long time, so I think I know what the nightlies come with, but thank you for the speech.

I did a full wipe when I switched to CM9, and since everything worked great, so if there's a fix for this, I think it can be implemented without a wipe. If it can't, then yes, I will probably wipe it. However, using a nightly doesn't mean I'm not using my phone as I want, and can wipe it easily whenever I want.

Also, how would the NAND backup help me? Wouldn't that restore things that I wiped?
[Galaxy S II General] hi2u2:
Don't full wipe. Several other users have reported lockscreen issues since it was fixed, and have solved it by setting "keep wifi on during sleep" to always, under wifi settings, advanced.
[Galaxy S II General] Mark ter Grote:
ok thnx for explaining to me mate..
[Galaxy S II General] MuadDib_II:
I had the same issue with my GS2, apparently is not so unusual (if you Google GS2 echo there is a lot of treats). People don't know if it was hardware or software, but it's related to the second mic and the noise reduction feature (when, during a call, I turned off the second mic the echo disappeared...). I'm also was really happy to see that the problem was gone with CM9...

release candidate

We already have release candidate:

cm-9.0.0-RC1-galaxys2.zip

:)
[Galaxy S II General] zborn:
Advice: The lowest you can go without affecting the phone is 182dpi. Give it a try.

If you still want to go lower, then search for one of the latest posts from FordT and download his build. Or one of my own posts asking for the modded apk a few pages behind.

REMEMBER: Since you are modding and/or installing a Kang do NOT expect any support if something goes wrong.

DPI stands for "Dots per inch" (in this case pixels per inch). Its just how big or small you want the screen to look. It doesnt "add" more pixels to the screen (since its built-in the screen), but it adjusts your display to a more confortable way for you to read or use your phone. Default is 240dpi. Lower dpi means smaller screen look. Higher dpi means bigger look.

[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
It's not about "for how long" we've been here or there, sometimes I may need help on a topic I've been discussing for months or even for years... it happens to me on a daily basis and on a large array of things, and it's also the reason behind our presence here isn't it?

Anyway, let's talk about NAND: yes if you do a "restore" of a previous backup it will restore everything (since it's a NAND backup), damned wiped things included; but... if you do an "advanced restore" (as I said in previous post) you can restore just the "data" section and of course a lot of things you set up early would be back in no time at all. Yes, it's not as good as wiping and starting from scratch (in my opinion) but you can always try and see, very often it works.

In any cases with a backup on your side you can wipe and see if the problem persists even after a factory reset: if it stays there you would go back and search for alternate solution (I often do this way).

[Galaxy S II General] bartekaki:
the best way (I think) to change dpi and have PlayStore fully working is using LCD Density Modder Pro.

how it works:

- run LCD Density Modder Pro (paid ~3$)

- change LCD density (I use 182)

- save as system DPI

- reboot

everything works but PlayStore doesn`t show all apps (f.e. maps or gmail...). if you want to see all programs in PlayStore:

- run LCD Density Modder Pro again

- select Fix Market Compatibility Issues

- select the dpi value you want the PlayStore think you have (HDPI 240)

- Download Modded PlayStore

- Download Modded GSF.apk

- Install downloaded Mods

- reboot (as I remember)

in system settings/Launcher settings you can change grid (f.e. rows 7, columns 6)

after flashing new Nightly you don't need to fix market again, just change the dpi and reboot.

killing apps (long press) works very well (after 2secs)

Unfortunately these are nightly builds of fresh new code and you shouldn't install them unless you're willing to wipe, or at he very least restore your backup. There is just no way all the random issues that appear and disappear could be discovered, cataloged and solved in a way that we can help you diagnose them.

Good luck, and always, always, always make a backup.

Now what was the point of your post, I think I've missed it. I know what a nightly build contains. It is still my decision if I don't feel comfortable doing a full wipe, and my responsibility if I **** up something. If you think that a "full wipe" is the only solution, it's fine with me, but don't rant if I don't want to do it, I didn't complain, didn't got pissed off, I just expressed my opinion, and I will still carry on using my phone running on nightlies, like I did for the past year.

The case is capturing the audio from speaker and then sending it to the second microphone or it's just the vibration within the case is getting picked up. It's already known to happen as they said even with Samsung original ROM. The stupid cases are to blame, that's why I go nekkid! :p
