OpenVPN / VPN PPTP Feedback.

Hi all !

I'd like to give a short feedback, for the few users who are interested in running a VPN on CM9.

I successfully tested OpenVPN and PPTP, with Hidemyass service.

VPN PPTP : is working just fine with the implemented application.

Configuration is really fast and easy to go through.

I tested it both over wifi and 3G.

It runned like a charm over wifi. However, as I expected, my provider blocked VPN PPTP over 3G, so PPTP didn't work in that case.

OpenVpn : There are (according to HMA FAQ), two OpenVpn services running on ICS. I chose Featvpn, for its simplicity and ergonomy. Featvpn is currently under Beta dvpt, and FREE at the time. Website is very user-friendly, and most information can be found on the first page in the 11th category.

Featvpn has so far been running flawlessly (20120524 nightly), BOTH over wifi and 3G, although several ports are blocked by my provider.

I conducted these tests, because I wanted to make an IP webcam out of my GSII. As provider blocked the function over 3G I had to use a vpn.

It ran really well with IP Webcam app, flawlessly over wifi and staggered over 3G (but bearable).

That's all folks !

If you have any question, do let me know. I'd be glad to help.

Not CM9 specific. Ask your app developer.
[Galaxy S II General] xavihernandez:
I got the exact same problem. But I want to tell I had kinda same behavior on CM7 (and MIUI android 2.3.7 based).

And I can tell that biggest problem is 2G to 3G preferred. As alexytlee said, its long to connect 3G (I can understand that), and most of time connexion drops, and try again to connect 3G (sometimes at several times) until it becomes stable.

3G to 2G happens normally.

I have noticed that issue happens randomly.

Don't really know what should I provide, maybe a logcat?
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
why do you replied to his post, if its annoys you ???
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
yeah you're right but he keeps saying the same thing all the time, it's little bit annoying, the better thing is just "ignore"......
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
No it isn't because such people ask over and over again til they get an answer. Fact.
[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:
Anyone know or have a solution for the GSM phone wake lock?? Hmmmm... :-/. Is it modem related?
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
i agree with you but if something annoys you the best thing to do is just ignore, there is a moderator for such thing :).....now get back to the topic

R U DEV?

I was asking that, to know if someone have seen some improvements on RADIO.
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
I haven't tried but I imagine it also pretty difficult to search through this thread these days, it's so over bloated.

It would probably help to cut down some (but probably not all that many!) posts if a few more things were added to the Known Issues section. Technically that Page is a wiki Page which infers that anyone could add to it. Don't think I'd dare in case I did something wrong though!
[Galaxy S II General] brainimpact:
anyone know how far we are from seeing a final release or RC'S?
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
No eta :-)
[Galaxy S II General] danfalcas:
Nightlies are as good as a RC this far.

There are a lot of things to fix, but they are less that at the beggining!

CM9 like it is, is AWESOME!
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
12/25/2045 is the official release date for CM9.

Contact Sync fail?

Hello everybody, I have a big issue and can't find any solution on google or XDA.

I hope that someone can help me :

Yesterday I had trouble with google calendar sync (despite of installation gapps and gapps fixer) so I wiped my phone completely and reinstalled my rom.

Now, everything works fine including calendar. but my google contacts won't sync. I have a "!" in the account and sync menu in front of "sync contacts"

it's weird as all others (gmail, agenda, drive, flux...) are well synced.

I tried to install again gapps and then gapps fixer but it won't change anything.

I don't want to wipe my phone again (3 times in 3 days is too much). PLEASE PLEASE

Thanks in advance

DIEU

P.S. : when restoring with titanium backup is there anyway to avoid clicking "install" and then "ok" after each installation? I have made a lot of restore and never find the solution to avoid clicking each time
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Testing all radios is what you can do. We all do...
[Galaxy S II General] rav4kar:
if so, there will be a CM10 in less than an year and who waits till 12/25/2045 like who cares for CM7 now a days! :D
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
True, but that's always been the official CM release date.
[Galaxy S II General] gaz617:
To avoid clicking install each time simply backup your device with your google account. As soon as you log in market will start downloading all your apps in the background, I did it this morning with about 70 and it was quick and painless.

Granted it had to re-download all the apps but it was pretty much a one-click solution. Also restoring via Titanium is not recommended, although you should be ok if you don't restore system apps. When diagnosing problems i'm always careful not to restore apps via Titanium,
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
You need to pay for pro for that feature.
[Galaxy S II General] cossax:
Press the button left of the Home key (option?) and select Batch, scroll down to Restore and choose "Restore missing apps with data".
[Galaxy S II General] Subbie171:
Did anyone find a way to eliminate or mitigate the shaky touch sensitivity? I read the changelogs constantly and found no mention of it. It's specially annoying when trying to swipe horizontally on a screen that also scrolls vertically.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
if it's done.

I don't expect a final version on the galaxys2. there will be unfixable bugs left because of samsungs proprietary and fuct up stuff.

if a user doesn't have any problems using this rom, why don't you call it stable? is it really just the version string that matters?

I can rename a nightly for you.

update-cm-9-20120523-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip -> update-cm-9-20120523-STABLE-galaxys2-signed.zip

what about arch linux? it's a rolling distro and never gets called stable. but it is stable for me. what now?
[Galaxy S II General] dieu2mars:
thanks cossax. this is what I do but at each installation, the phone asks me to confirm installation " do you want to install this application..." and after installation it asks to press "OK" (or "open"). did I miss an option?
[Galaxy S II General] nutmegy:
you need to pay for it to allow it to work without acknowledging each restore.. not really a CM9 issue though..
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Yes, please name it "stable", but wait 1 day so I forget it is a joke and then I will be very happy with my stable build and everything will work super perfectly.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I'll make you one called update-cm-9-20451225-BUTTERSMOOTH-galaxys2.zip, that'll fool you good. Ahh placebo :)

This is a very very annoying bug. I sometimes get fed up and return to stock just to get rid of this. Of course, then I get fed up with stock and return back. :) I wish I had the coding skills to fix this myself.

That's the day when Yahoo API will be up :P
[Galaxy S II General] NuclearBastard:
I'm with the 20120522 build and the proximity sensor doesn't seem to work.

Whenever I'm in the middle of a conversation and I want to press on a number I have to press the home button, then unlock the phone and then press it.

As well as when finishing a conversation, I have to press the key, unlock the phone and press the red end call key.

I've installed the 0522 build after the all 3 wipes :|
[Galaxy S II General] njwest:
I don't have this problem.

[Galaxy S II General] borkson:
anyone has autobrightness issue?
[Galaxy S II General] D4rKn3sSyS:
Hi guys, just wanted to share to all those guys who complain about Yahoo API, check this out

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#galaxys2/cm9/next

It looks cool if you ask me :D
[Galaxy S II General] borkson:
to remove
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
You need to set lock screen to none. It happens when the phone wakes from deep sleep (so usb cable shouldn't be connected) and autobrightness is on.
[Galaxy S II General] ashifr5:
okay, sometimes the clock in status bar freezes and also when i drag down the status bar for notifications it is blank at times!

Apart from that everything is super STABLE :D
[Galaxy S II General] r7s:
The first post used to say that I have to wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing a CM9 zip. Now this information is gone. Is it redundant now?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
There was never any need to wipe cache or dalvik cache. Cache wipe doesn't really do anything as it relates to the ROM install and the dalvik is invalidated and rebuilt by the kernel after a flash, thus why it takes slightly longer to boot on the first boot after a new flash.
[Galaxy S II General] danfalcas:
Try to download em to your computer and the send em to the phone.

Or, erase google account and add it again.

Or Clear al contact apk data.
[Galaxy S II General] DeathMetalMods:
Use Titanium Pro -> oneclick restore

I just purchased GTAIII (There is a 1 euro special offer until day 28) and i am unable to run it... when the first load bar gets almost full, the game just exits... anyone with the same issue? :(
[Galaxy S II General] gaz617:
Wow, thanks for the heads up on that offer! I just grabbed it for £0.76. It's downloading additional files at the moment but will get back to you when it's done

EDIT: Works fine here, latest CM with latest siya.

I just installed latest nightly plus latest siyah and still the same! :(
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Thanks for the info. It looks great. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] sm0use:
Thanks for the heads up. Mines working fine with latest nightly and stock kernel
[Galaxy S II General] kleinfeld:
Anyone have any ideas why I can't install either of these? ...I've just flashed the latest nightly but on google play it says my device is incompatible?
[Galaxy S II General] jcasares:
I was on build 20120519 when I got the corrupted log and I had this issue with previous builds as well. I switched to 20120523 today and will post if it happens again.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Using the stock DPI?
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
install Market enabler, i think it's gonna solve your problem..
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
I have, using 0522(middle) release.

when I´m on brigth spaces the brigth take a long time to go high, but its a knew issue.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yes, this is a known issue, it has existed for practically the entire life of the ROM, I won't go into a lot of detail cuz I've posted this a number of times, but it's Samsung's fault, if you want more info, just look for posts by me in this thread and you'll find the info.
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
Yes, I knew about it, just answer our friend, this is a thing that is very little if compared to all work allready done by the CM9 team. When it works it will work, doesn´t matter when :)
[Galaxy S II General] kleinfeld:
I was using 218 DPI but I tried with stock & it made no difference

Just tried that; set it to US T-Mobile & it still doesn't work :( Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
i had the same problem with chrome browser, i set it to france and it works
[Galaxy S II General] kleinfeld:
Thanks for trying to help :) I just went through the list of operators, setting them one by one & still none allow me to download the apps. Strange?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Try clearing the data and cache on your Play Store and rebooting, make sure you have stock DPI set before you do it.
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
it's not a solution for your problem but.....http://www.mediafire.com/?jwqqzw2ij4rh9s3
[Galaxy S II General] MrMarques01:
I'm a little confused here:

the cm-nighty app (click ) and the new changelog page (click )

show different changelogs for our device.

Which is the right one?
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
O.T. but this explorer is just insanely good, I think I can uninstall ES now... wow.
[Galaxy S II General] jmjviana:
Is it possible to do native video call over 3G with the stock ROM or this one? I didn't try when I had the stock ROM and I can't find out how to do it now with this one.
[Galaxy S II General] kleinfeld:
This worked, thanks!

Thanks as well :)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2 is the official changelog, the app is based on that. http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#galaxys2/cm9/next is unofficial. The official change log doesn't include kernel commits which the unofficial one does, but the unofficial one also shows commits in the Samsung device tree that don't apply to the GT-I9100.

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Not at the moment, I don't believe this feature is currently being worked on for CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
You can't on AOSP. Try stock ROM.

It's been covered multiple times. A simple search of the thread would have shown this. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] Unclean009:
They're both unofficial from what I understand. Neither is officially maintained by Cyanogenmod.
[Galaxy S II General] hedgepigdaniel:
The only "official" changelogs are here and in the commit lists for the repositories here.
[Galaxy S II General] intronauta:
I think that ro.product.device=galaxys2 is causing conflicts with some market apps.

If you want to filter comments related to the same device model in an app of google play ,never find comments, ignoring comments of "Samsung Galaxy S2".

Other example. I bought "Mass Effect Infiltrator" in Google Play Web because Samsung Galaxy S2 was detected as compatible device, but never started to download. Searching in the Google Play app this game doesn't appear, but accesing from purchased apps section I can access but appears as not compatible. I supposed that Google play app get a wrong device id.

Changing ro.product.device=galaxys2 by ro.product.device=GT-I9100 in build.prop and all works fine.

Mass Effects appears in searchs, download works and filters in comments are detecting my device.

I suppose that this string is used to compile CM, but seems that Google Play are parsing this string and getting an unknown device id for the compatibility checks added in some apps.

my2cents.

*sorry for my english.
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Would it not be easy to just add it to /data/local.prop then that way when you flash an update, build.prop doesn't get overwritten and the device details gets read from local.prop
[Galaxy S II General] intronauta:
but in a fresh install or after factory reset you must to add it again. I think that modify build.prop in future builds is a more reasonable fix. But I don't know if it breaks other stuff...
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
This is true. I'm looking at more of an immediate fix (by adding to local.prop), you wouldn't have to worry when flashing new builds.

Yes, in the future having it in build.prop is more of a feasible solution though.
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
A bit offtopic, but regarding my problems with GTAIII not working, it was a data problem: I just redownloaded the data and it's working... thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] RochasMan:
Problems with reception...

I don't know if this is an issue regarding the Nightlys or if it's just because of the network in my town (since they've been upgrading the antennas in the region) but it seems like the phone is losing connection from time to time, just dropping from 3G to 2G when loading the FB-app or just Google Chrome...??

Anyone else sharing this problem?

(I'm on the final 22:nd Nightly)

Thanks

I see Apollo is back in the latest build. A shame that the album and artist tabs only allow 8 characters for the name of the album or artist, makes it look quite ugly. I'd much rather be able to see the full name rather than a big picture.
[Galaxy S II General] Exidrion:
I like Apollo, it obviously isn't finished yet but it's quite beautiful and suits CM9/ICS well.
[Galaxy S II General] Akiainavas:
I'm really happy that Apollo is back and that it's gonna be the default music app.

It really needs a standard album list view though... anyway, where can we report bugs/glitches related to Apollo ?

[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
Just installed the 5/24 nightly with Apollo. Just a query, my album art used to show up in the old music app, but none do on Apollo? Is there something i have to do?
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Just dl'd it from get.cm, 125mb, checked md5, no problem.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Good question, my list keeps getting longer.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Sometimes it works. For me for the most part it doesn't and in have to wait for it to seeded as a torrent or for.someone to post a mirror. Haven't been able yo get a build from the cm.site.for.about 3 week.
[Galaxy S II General] Akiainavas:
Put a cover in each album's folder ( cover.jpg ). Apollo seems to show the art then, but still - it ignores some of the cover files even if they're there - so about 1/3 of all folders end up without covers...
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
thanks..its not just me. But I think that is weird, because in the old music app and on playerpro (and about all the other music apps i tried), it would read the album art as its embedded on all the songs....

EDIT: it does show it as you need wifi or data on and it auto downloads the art.. more info here http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/apps/apollo-music-player-first-look-part-1-look-and-feel-r795

[Galaxy S II General] Akiainavas:
Older music apps and stock google one seem to prefer IDv3 or .pamp covers. Apollo seems to grab a simple .jpg from a folder which in my opinion is way better and easier to organise as you don't need a separate app to add cover to tags. But it still misses some files and since i figured it out from testing with files - i might be completely wrong about how it gets them ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] bobhwasatch:
But if you actually purchase music (crazy I know but still) it already has the cover tags. Extracting them is extra work and downloading them eats your data plan to get something you already have.
[Galaxy S II General] Akiainavas:
I actually purchase music on CDs ( not so crazy after all ;) ) so after being ripped it's tag-free.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:

Use the torrent download and ttorrent (free version) to download direct to the phone, much simpler, and if i have to suddenly go out, or something goes wrong, the torrent is just paused and can be resumed :)
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Guys, anyone experience random reboot or freeze on latest builds, even after clean install?!
[Galaxy S II General] schaze:
Nice, but I'd rather like to have the silent switcher option in from the old CM7 lockscreen - That was probably the most useful function ever on any phone I owned...

Does anybody know if there is a app that could be triggered from the Lockscreen which would simulate this behviour until it will actually be integrated...?
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
FYI - even if you are ripping with iTunes or WMP or some random program, you can set it to download ID3 info to embed into the MP3s or whatever you rip them to ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Akiainavas:
Yeah, album/artist info but usually not the artwork :)
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
Ya you can include album art into the tag using wmp for instance. So for now, its not useable on apollo..it just downloads the artwork the first time you enter the app (with wifi or data on of course)....
[Galaxy S II General] MorpheousMarty:
I know what you mean, but I wouldn't mind a release that had a couple of weeks special focus on stability and working items. I know development is hard, and tradeoffs are made all the time. I would find value in a release that had a focus on getting things to work rather than doing things right in the long term.

For the record I have no problem with the current nightlies, but if I had replace my SGSII, I would like it if there were a version of CM9 I could flash and be confident all the hardware and software worked with as few errors as possible, even if some of the things worked only because of short-sighted hacks.

I know we make fun of Samsung all the time for exactly this compromise, but there is something useful about a version of CM9 that is not experimental.

Anyhow, that's my 2 cents, you do amazing work and I'm not qualified to question it.

[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
You simply can't please all of the people all of the time.

Personally, there is nothing I need that this rom doesn't already have. And no stability issues at all. It just keeps getting better.

I've been using Sense 4.0 on a One X for a few days and there's no way I'd swap cm9 with that.

I tried cm9 for one month and I loved it simplicity and stability but i also missed some features that weren't yet implemented! Guess I'll wait for a stable version!:)
