Not to my knowledge.

Can we have some confirmation from codeworkx that this build is legit?

About the Video Recording.

I am no developer but I was thinking of how we could solve the video recording problem. I was wondering that if CM7 for the same Galaxy S2 can record videos can't we port that somehow to CM9? Agreed that we do not have the samsung codes but everything about CM7 should be available right?

If I have got something fundamentally wrong, forgive my noobness :)
[Galaxy S II General] Nomoi:
Well first of all, CM7 is based on Gingerbread and CM9 on ICS.

So YES I confirm MTP works on Linux with 0320.

Codeworkx is running Archlinux, so maybe did he not test with Merdoz? Maybe is all this a microchiotte issue now?? Samsung + Windows is not a ideal couple.
[Galaxy S II General] burt_ie:
Well after having my phone for a couple of months I was looking forward to updating to ICS until I seen that Samsung decided to put TW on top of it... last night I decided to bight the bullet and root and go for a custom rom. I tried a few others and finally settled on CM9... works great so far, definitely the best ICS rom. Only problem I have encountered is that my sd card can no longer be read and when I connect my phone to my pc it no longer shows up as a removable drive... I have to take my sd card out of the phone to be able to do anything with it. Iam sure all these things will be fixed in the future

:thumbup:

I can confirm the alternative build to 3-20 fixes MTP in Windows! Woot Woot!

I'm sure if MTP can be made to work it'll be merged into the nightlies very shortly. Still on the 0319 build as I can't download updates at work lol

[Galaxy S II General] Lamien:
Thank you for that great rom. I can't believe how fast this whole thing is changing towards positive...

By the way, is there a way I can fix myself this minor bug with the line at the bottom borderline of youtube videos ? Or am I the only one who sees that line (somewhat distorted...) :p

Yes yes I know rly small and unimportant bug but yea I felt like asking..

Anyway...

Once again thank you very much guys for all the time and work you are putting into this great thing! And that for free....
[Galaxy S II General] Yathi:
Like I do not know that. The camera is still the same. And no one is going to mind a GB Cam as long as it takes videos and photos. I would rather have codeworkxx or someone who knows give me an answer.

The hardware is not changing and we have a software code which works. I know ICS is a big change but we do have the ICS sources and the kernel sources. Only thing we did not have were the hardware specific codes.
[Galaxy S II General] _Raziel666:
Confirmed that with codeworkx's private build the MTP drivers work in Windows 7 x64, even with Samsung drivers installed (you never know when you're gonna need good ol' Odin!).

-GPS not locking.

-Google Maps is failing.

AWESOME JOB!!! Love it!
[Galaxy S II General] Yathi:

Lol hahaha dude seriously ur comparing apps with camera...the palm of my hand feels too small for the facepalm i need right now
[Galaxy S II General] peterperfect:
Sorry buddy but you really don't understand it. From GB to ICS there were several changes. Framework is not the same, camera app is not the same, kernel and camera hardware implementation is not the same. You can't pickup a GB app that communicated with the camera using GB kernel and tell him to talk use the ICS kernel to command the camera. Simply are 100% different things.

[Galaxy S II General] Kristion:
I have a question regarding the bootloader version. From what I've been searching on google and on this thread, there isn't a way to find out what kind of version you have installed.

Before flashing latest build ( the one with the MTP issue solved) I had LPQ Poland installed on my phone via Odin, the one from intratech's thread. Does the LPQ ROM automatically flash the new ICS bootloader?
[Galaxy S II General] Yathi:
Ok I think i kinda get it now. Thanks for the explanation. I know they are trying to work on an open source camera but thought maybe this route might be easier. Guess not.
[Galaxy S II General] navodwickra:
to find it out easiest way is to use a USB jig if it works then you are on the old bootloader
[Galaxy S II General] peterperfect:
You need to flash another one or you will get stuck on start screen. No bootloader is provided with CM9. Flash this one provided by xplodwild. http://t.co/mhbp7q8Z
[Galaxy S II General] devilkin:
So following this logic any hardware that I was using on Windows 95 should work on my win 7 machine provided that the software will still run? You don't see why the OS or drivers might cause a problem here?
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
i flashed the nightly that was linked before the official one and everything seems fine on my part. bootanimation looks gorgeous (keep rebooting just to watch it) MTP works fine and connects without any problems to my win7 pc and that is it really. not using no custom kernels just the one provided with the build. of course did a full wipe before flashing the nightly and latest gapps.

never mind looks like thracky got their first:)

I've flashed both de 19/03 official version and also the one with MTP working ("un"official 20/03) and haven't encountered any issues. My guess is that I already have the ics bootloader, I'd rather not mess with the bootloader when I already have it installed on my phone. Can someone confirm that the LPQ automatically installs the ICS bootloader via Odin. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
i know mate...but why flash it separately when it comes with the latest build..anyway was just trying to help people....overall i am happy with this build now..scrolling gets a bit funny sometimes but i can live with that...
[Galaxy S II General] NOWE:
Yes. it does flash the bootloader.

But usually thats a problem and not somthing one could wish.

[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
A few things for those having MTP issues on the new codeworkx build with the new boot animation.

If you still can't get MTP to install, try uninstalling the drivers and then unplugging the phone, turn off ADB then replug, that should let it install. You can turn ADB back on after.

ADB for some reason (at least on xp) still requires the samsung drivers :( had me stumped for a while. I reinstalled the samsung drivers (with Kies) and ADB started working for me again.

These issues I had were caused by me fiddling on the 20th nightly build trying to get MTP working. I just thought I would post this so others with the same issue can know how to get both MTP and ADB working.

Root/unroot options are now working aswell

codeworkx | 03/18/2012 = March 18th 2012. You should look at the date. The Kernel source code was released on 19th March 2012. One day after Codeworkx last blog post.
[Galaxy S II General] Major_Sarcasm:
Brilliant.

I've resisted flashing the CM series of firmwares for the SGS2 (although I used to use it on my old HD2) as it didn't seem mature enough for daily use.

Glad I waited, installation went without a hitch, plain vanilla ICS is gorgeous. Thanks to Codeworks and Xplodwild.

@NOWE: from what is stated above I think that it doesn't. I don't have a JIG available atm because if I did I would have found the answer in a matter of seconds :).

From what I've read until now, I shouldn't have been able to install the latest nightly if I had old bootloader, because many people reported issues while installing with GB bootloader. Regardless of that, I havent;t faced any issues in the process of installing the ROM. I'm a bit confused :)
[Galaxy S II General] megazz:
Am I the only one who thinks that the last two builds are not so smooth? The scrolling/animations/transitions are weird. Looks like GB.

Anyone else have this issue
[Galaxy S II General] marcosxd:
I believe this is coming from the samsung kernel, CM9 0318 build is responsive while 0319 and 0320 (which use official kernel source) are not as "smooth". Also when I flashed the official Samsung ICS rom, this was one of the principal reasons of complains.
[Galaxy S II General] Alienfreak:
Yep. Scrolling looks a bit more unsmooth than before.
[Galaxy S II General] Psyastro:
Hi to everybody!

First post for me there!

I will thanks really a lot the devlopers for their great work, and the people who spend time to help the other one!

I build every new update of CM 9 until I think the first one.

I had some problem only to flash past two build (319, 320) solved with Xplodwild advice about bootloader (thanks a lot) .

I will enjoy this new build too... every step better!!!

What can I say (know bugs a part and some rare kernel panic), I'm really happy about CM 9. I love it, and use daily, from january until now. :)

...I think it was really love at first sight! :D:D

Thanks a lot and have an enlightened present!!
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
You only needed to change it on nightly 20120319, in 20120320 they have fixed the issue, and it is now using interactive by default, you can untick your 'set on boot' and reboot your phone, you will see CPU freq is adjusting fine on its own.

Thank you devs for your work.

How is the scrolling in CM9 compared to LPQ? Acurracy in LPQ is absolutely horrendus.
[Galaxy S II General] peterperfect:
People talking about smoothness:

Nothing recently changed that can affect scrolling. Check if your governor is set to ondemand ou interactive. If it is than is pure placebo.
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
Scrolling though homescreens is better in cm9 than in LPQ & LP7, but the browser in CM9 on our s2 is really laggy (especially with pinch to zooming) compared to the stock Samsung browser or even the AOSP ICS browser on LPQ/LP7.
[Galaxy S II General] kulachi543:
CPU governors control exactly how the CPU scales between your “max” and “min” set frequencies. Most kernels have “ondemand” and “performance.” The availability

Ondemand – Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see “up threshold” in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.

Interactive – Available in newer kernels, and becoming the default scaling option in some official Android kernels. The interactive governor is functionally similar to the ondemand governor with an even greater focus on responsiveness.

Conservative – Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.

performance – Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “max” set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting “max” and “min” to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for CPU load.

Powersave – Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “min” set value at all times.

Userspace – A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor.

(cross posted in official ICS thread sorry belongs here more)

I've installed LP7 and was very happy with just about everything (coming from CM9) my only complaint is the Bluetooth connection isn't the greatest in the car.

I missed CM9 so I'm now back on the nightlies but am having a few issues;

- calendars aren't working with 3rd party. I get the 'no calendar selected'

- I assumed video camera would be working just due to the release of ICS.

- email and exchange errors popping up on boot

Bluetooth is working perfectly again.

Baseband Question

Hi guys,

I've been on CM9 now for approximately the last 8 or so builds and am loving it. Each time an update comes out I simply wipe cache/factory, wipe delvik, install rom and reboot and thats about it. I've had very little to no trouble doing this (apart from a battery drain issue and a wipe data fixed that).

The CM9 package to my understanding has all the apps, the OS etc... aswell as the kernel packages into it, correct me if i'm wrong.

However the CM9 Nightlies don't update the Baseband do they? I just looked and a lot of people talk about LP6, LPB etc... I'm still on XXKL1 Baseband and have had no known issues with it.

My real question is, is there a need to me to change my baseband version? Would i benefit from using CWM to flash to LP6???

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
