The backspace being where it is is a 4.0.4 Google AOSP change, it has nothing to do with the CM team, it's like this on stock 4.0.4 Galaxy Nexus devices as well, the dialer from MIUI is the stock Touchwiz one because the variants of MIUI that are available currently use Touchwiz, if you use an AOSP based ROM you will likely have the backspace button in its current location. If you want it moved, you'll need to put in a feature request to google, or find one of the thousand that already exist for this issue and post there.

That's because you've synced with Google/Gmail and it only stores 96x96 images i think. So after you've synced then just re add your photos and they'll be full resolution until/IF Google ever fixes this thing that's been going on for years!

Ring Tone

Hy guys I'm having a behavior with receiving calls is the following, I have a ring I created from a kraft werk music and when I receive a call, the ringtone plays the part I cut from the song once and after that the phone only vibrate and not play more. I Experimented with a ringtone default behavior is the same.

Is this a Know issue?

thx

using stock kernel and 0603 build
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes it is, you can use cyclic ringtone from play store to enable repeat.
[Galaxy S II General] yahyoh:
the gps so bad in latest build it only on sat or two then they disappear and it never lock :(:(

tried fasterfix and changing modems but no luck :o
[Galaxy S II General] rockambole:
I have the following config set in my lockscreen:

1st slide to unlock

2nd pattern

In slide to unlock, it's vibrating on touch, is there a way to disable it?

2nd is fine, since I have this option in lockscreen settings but only disables for the pattern

thx
[Galaxy S II General] nightmw:
Cannot confirm. Works great. 5-10sec
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
The same here. Not more than 20 seconds. Then again, I've compiled the build myself today. I however no relevant changes were made, so it's not that my build differs in that point.

EDIT: With agps on that is. Without it, but it takes considerably longer, but that's normal.

[Galaxy S II General] mihaits:
1.install GPS Status

2.in app>menu>tools>manage a-gps state>download

3.wait for it to lock after you do that, the first lock might take a few mins

4.the next times you use the gps it should lock in 5-20 secs

5.?????

7.Profit!

8.notice there's no 6.

and btw, modems don't have anything to do with the gps
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I have a thread for s voice

Double tap home button is in Samsung firmware only.
[Galaxy S II General] mihaits:
it's impossible on an AOSP rom, vlingo depends on the touchwiz framework the samsung roms have. About the double tap, samsung roms have some kind of listener for the double tap action:

if you tap once the home button it waits for another half a second to see if you press it again; if yes it assumes you double tapped it, if not it goes to the homescreen. that's why you can notice no delay when pressing the home button in an AOSP rom.
[Galaxy S II General] irish-sid:
I know this isn't directly related to CM9, but seeing as I'm using it perhaps you can help..

I was adding some skins to the Ultimate Clock Widget via Astro, and moved some fonts into the font folder, but as I done that the phone froze. I left it for a couple of mins but nothing happened, so I rebooted.

Now all I get is an empty battery on the screen with a circle in it.

I had 90% battery when this happened.

I can't reboot into recovery, but I can into download mode.

So what happened? and where do I go from here?
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Using stock kernel?

First thing take battery out for 30sec, then see if you can power on or go into recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] kieronw3:
Thanks for your replies guys. Will just have to manage without it.

Thanks

Kieron
[Galaxy S II General] irish-sid:
Yeah, everything is stock cm9. Was on yesterdays nightly.

I've also tried removing battery, and sd card. Still comes up with the empty battery icon and can only boot into download mode.
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
me again

Hi guys, now a new problem started to happen.

build in 0603 was having the following problem, every time I received a sms, the cel went to the lock screen and don't cames out and only could solve restarting the cel. Another thing is that when the WhatsApp sent an images, the images were sent several times. Back to Build 0602 which seems more stable.

Every new buil I install, cache/dalvik wipe and fix permissions.

Unistall Apollo(prefer use CM Player) and restore antitheft from avast.

All the rest is tottally default from Cyanogen.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
WhatsApp isn't stock CM, any problems you are having with WhatsApp should be referred to the author of the app.
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
Ok, I know, the Whatsapp is only to inform, but, how about the sms? It's worst than other thing.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Don't know if it has anything to do with AOSP charger commit in last nightly, or maybe you should check to see nothing is stuck in the usb port. If you can get it into download mode, I'd just flash a ressurection build and restore a backup after if you have one.
[Galaxy S II General] irish-sid:
Oh, you think I should've went resurrection? I flashed a stock, rooted it, then restored a cm9 nandroid backup.

Edit: It's finished, seems to be ok thank god.

Cheers for your help.
[Galaxy S II General] mynameisjon:
Hopefully this fixes my issue of my phone not being able to power up when I swap batteries.

Does anyone face issues like that? Everytime I swap batteries out it's like playing russian roulette.

I plug it into the charger, it shows the empty charger icon, then disappears, and shows it again, then disappears... you get the picture.

NOT a bug report, just wondering if anyone has the same issue, and how they fixed it.

No probs, glad it's ok.

Notifications not working

hi guys,

had mentioned earlier a couple of days ago that i wasn't receiving any notifications(no sound, vibration or even the notification icon in the drop down) for messages.. seems like I'm not the only one with these problems.. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?? I'm unable to find a trigger of any sort.. I don't use any custom profiles for sounds or silent mode etc.. not changed the sound settings as far as i can remember, just the volume dropped or increased a bit while trying to figure out why its not working. will try to post a logcat or something, if i know what to put here..

Edit:

Got a log... can anyone find anything here that might give a clue??

People having trouble with more recent Siyah releases

Okay, I can't help but notice that a lot of people on this thread have been having problems with bootloops in the more recent releases of Siyah Kernel, so hopefully this post will sort out all those people having issues similar to what I had.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LOSE ALL YOUR DATA. I repeat, you do NOT have to lose all your data.

1. Boot into recovery mode (home + vol. up + power)

2. Select "backup and restore"

3. Select "backup". Your phone will now back everything up.

4. Once this is done, reflash the most recent CM9 nightly but do not flash siyah. Now do a "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache".

5. Reboot your phone, and this time it should load properly into the start-up wizard.

6. Reboot back into recovery, select "backup and restore", then "advanced restore". Choose the backup you just made, and then select "restore data".

7. Once this is done, flash the most recent version of siyah kernel, reboot your phone and you'll have a working CM9 again with siyah kernel and all of your old data restored.

8. Have a beer.

I've been hearing about so many people who have been completely wiping their phones and losing all of their data to fix the issues brought about by a slightly broken release of siyah kernel. This is an unnecessarily over the top way of dealing with it, kind of like burning down your house to get rid of a wasps nest.

Hope this helps people a bit :)
[Galaxy S II General] irish-sid:
Is astro working ok for everyone? Whenever I unzip something it freezes and I have to restore from a nandroid.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
That's kinda weird, why are you doing restore just because of a freeze?

What if you just hold the power button down, turn the phone off then back on?
[Galaxy S II General] irish-sid:
Because it doesn't work. It freezes, it won't boot, can only get into download mode. gotta flash a stock rom, root, then nandroid.

Why would this happen?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
What are you trying to unzip with Astro? sounds like you're editing system files or something.

When I plug in my headset it doesn't change the audio profile properly and notification sounds still come from my phone.

Also I get no vibration alerts with Whatsapp messages.

I'm on latest nightly. Could this be kernel related, because I use Siyah.
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
I am not sure this is the place to discuss this but I know it's still a problem in cm9 as in all android versions. Will someone please explain how come if I have the battery level @ 60% and the phone freezes in NOVA 3 ( great game btw ) I restart the phone and then the level of the battery is @ 30%? I mean were did it go? The 30% is accurate because it will shut down when in reaches 0% so I guess my q is were does the drain go? Also in Gingerbread we had this problem right? How come it can't be fixed? It happens on all Android phones?
[Galaxy S II General] AvRS:
Not sure on your first issue, but whatsapp you need to turn on vibrate within the app settings.

Messaging crashing everytime I send Msg

I flashed the 3rd June Nightly yesterday and after flashing my Messaging App crashes everytime I send a msg. Not a rare case. This happening everytime.

Anyone else experiencing this problem? Anyone got any solutions?
[Galaxy S II General] AvRS:
It's the way the battery guage chip works, after a reboot it can show lower than it is but if you left your phone for a while you'd notice it actually goes up when it catches up with itself. You're right though if you continue to use it then it will turn off as for that period it actually thinks that's what it is. No way to actually fix it, I think we just have to live with it.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Did you do a clean install with all the wipes? If not, even though people don't like doing it 9/10 times it works starting from scratch.
[Galaxy S II General] :
If someone's IMEI is going out for sometime, try this: go to the /efs folder and set the nv_data.bin permissions just r-x. just tick the first and the right-superior. Now your imei will never be written again and imei forever. Permissions code: 500. You can also:

su

chmod 500 /efs/nv_data.bin

This fixed the problem here. Now my imei isn't taking a 10+ minutes break anymore.

I have stock kernel. What app should i use for undervolting ? It's ok with tegrak overclock ?
[Galaxy S II General] unease:
If you get crashes on individual apps e.g. Messages or camera after flashing a new ROM, do a cache wipe + dalvik wipe + fix permissions. If that doesn't take care of the issue, then clear cache on individual application from settings - apps. If that fails, complete factory wipe

Did Anyone Try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693704

EDIT : i have the brickbug on my S2 International.. What to do?!
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Me too :(

Edit: The default CM9 kernel has the functions that could potentially brick your device disabled, if you are using another kernel you may want to check the kernel thread to see if the kernel author has disabled these functions or plans to, if they haven't there is a chance you could brick your device.
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
Nothing, i have it too and nothing will ever happen.

I still don't understand why chainfire released that tool, it just scares people, this "brick bug" only happens if the memory is formatted in a certain way, the phone doesn't brick by himself, and playing around with roms and stuff is safe. That tool should have been released only to devs to make them aware of the bug so they don't use those particular methods to format the nand.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
It is highly unlikely that it will happen to anyone, correct, however for a very short time a certain version of the Siyah kernel did (it doesn't now, don't panic) contain the offending code and resulted in a few people's devices being bricked, not saying that it will happen again now that the code has been identified, but it's better to know and be safe.
[Galaxy S II General] :
True story. I have too, and just erasing on the CWM it won't cause any damage. I also think this is desnecessary. But CM team already said that samsung mmc chips are very buggy. Didn't scare me at all.
[Galaxy S II General] fatbax:
Yes A fellow S2 User Brick is On Siyah 3.1rc6 and had to replace the motherboard. Yes Cm9 kernel is safe and since i flash almost every CM9 Nightly nothing has happend till date. my only query now would be what if i got to stock Firmware and wipe data from there now thats a potential brick i guess...
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
Some guy i know got his phone bricked after wiping memory on that kernel, anyway now is safe.

In chainfire thread people is saying that most known kernels are safe, only official and leaked samsung roms are affected and most likely will brick your device if you do a wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Was on Siyah 3.1beta6. Gokhan used some Korean GS II code, so formatting data bricked the phone. Now I think he used the n7000 update 3 mmc drivers to fix some wi-fi bugs. Cyanogenmod also used that to correct the lockscreen issue.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yes, but Entropy512 specifically disabled the functions that could cause the brick on the CM9 kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Cyanogenmod is always stable and secure. They do what Samsung and Google didn't. CM devs are very perfectionists. That's why I update the nightly without a doubt that's going to be better and safer.

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

I know. Of course he wouldn't repeat Siyah's bug. Siyah is very experimental at the x.0 to x.4. After that, it begins to get more and more stability.

Email retrieval size

I don't see an option to choose Email retrieval size in Email app of CM9. Is this option hidden somewhere as I just can't find it even in latest nightly build
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yeah, this looks ugly.

Anyone knows if CM9 for Galaxy S III will have all the functions it have on the Samsung ROM? Like Smart Stay and motions effects? I think they all are very useful.

[Galaxy S II General] kowcop:
This happened to me and it was because I was flashing a kernel straight after CM9... I found I had flash CM9, then boot into CM9 once, then go back into recovery and THEN flash the kernel (I am using FLUXI).

I don't know what causes it, but it started happening after the lockscreen fix (not sure if it is related)
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
No, it wont
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
They likely require the Touchwiz framework, so it's highly unlikely.
[Galaxy S II General] unreal64:
Already answered, anyway is not a so bad situation. I'm actually waiting for the opendesign project to be ready and merged with cm9(matter of months I think), in this way, hopefully, we will get almost the same feature of sgs3 on every cm9-running device! ;)

I hope not... or if so, just as an option. From my point of view this is just waste of space. Using the device in landscape "CarMode" and trying to access notifications (i.e. to access the music player notification to skip a song) will be a pain.

Hi!

I was about to complain that it's all written in the 1st page as well... But after verifying there is no information at all about the modem... Nothing in the FAQ either...

The only information we have is:

CWM flashable Modems:

LPX Modem: Download

LPW Modem: Download

LPS Modem: Download

LPR Modem: Download

Have a look at ROM-Manager (Developer: codeworkx) for more Modems.

Of course a simple search with "modem" on this thread gave more than 11 pages of results. I found that:

The theory is that newer modems mean better signal/data speed, but this is not always true, your results may vary. If you're happy with your signal/speed now, there's no need to flash anything.

But I still for clarity and improvement of the instructions it could be relevant to have some description in the 1st page or FAQ...
