It's not multiDPI, but MDPI, which is the standard name for 160dpi.

It should still work on newer builds, but with the same setback of the half-hidden slider for incoming calls.

Why don't you try the full 160 dpi build I posted above?
[Galaxy S II General] kibaa12:
i did what u said to do but for some reason it didn't change unless i changed the density in build.prop.
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
Loving the new CM9 boot animation! Amazing work, guys!! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Singum:
Hi, I tried that and tried a full wipe but no luck so far :(

The call log is still showing numbers, not names.
[Galaxy S II General] Dekar1:
LOL :D

Same here, ****ing awesome. I've probably rebooted my phone like half a dozen times yesterday :P
[Galaxy S II General] rakimj:
thanks for the info sir, again. but i have a question if you don't mind.

does this build have the same changelog as the official 2503 cm9 ? if it doesn't what are the differences ? is it kanged by you ?

regards and respect.
[Galaxy S II General] Powereh:
Hi there,

Finally got time to do this for you.

Steps:

full wipe > cache > dalvik > system

Installed update-cm-9-20120325-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed & gapps-ics-20120317-signed

Kernel is the one included in this nightly & baseband version is I9100NELP2.

Booted phone up let it do its first stage start up stuff & then rebooted.

Went downstairs connected it all up with the screen off. The phone started charging & then displayed a static image of the lockscreen on the tv picture below:

The phone still works & you can unlock go around menus etc. But the TV image will always stay as a static image.

I noticed as well that if I unplugged the MHL cable & went to a different screen & then plugged it back in. It would show a static image of whatever was on the screen when plugged in, For example:

Sorry for the poor pictures old iPhone :p

Logcats attached below the hdmiservice one didn't do anything though.

Hope this can help you & us achieve mhl on CM9

Many thanks!

[EDIT- I thought I'd try a video to see if it would output properly & it did! But there is no audio at all, But it plays flawlessly through the default player on CM9, It is a 720p MKV video.

http://s802.photobucket.com/albums/yy302/mattey1/?action=view&current=IMG_0322.jpg ]

Audio works on FLAC & Mp3 files when playing in the default music app & it comes through the surround sound speakers nicely.

[Another edit:- Tried an AVI file just audio comes through & its fine but the picture doesn't come through at all not like the MKV which is the other way around. I tried playing it on mxplayer & moboplayer also & it was the same sound & static image]

[oh my another edit:- Should have added this before the MKV file is encoded AC3 sound & x264. The AVI is XVID & MPEGA.

[Galaxy S II General] Powereh:
I just updated my post

But I got video coming out when I opened a MKV 720p file it was playing it flawlessly on both TV & phone.

But I couldn't get any audio to work at all.

[Edit again - .FLAC plays through the speakers just fine. Not on the MKV though going to try an AVI file now see how that fairs.]

About music app to use I prefer Google Play Music than stock one. Indeed, with stock playee I face, like in CM7, some freeze (reboot needed by long press on power button) while listening and browsing music (which is around 20GB on external SD card). I do not face that issue with Google Play Music. By the way I tried CM9 Music (future Apollo, won't it?) before, had not faced this issue. But it was laggy, I am waiting for its final version.

Guys, on build 25.03.2012 I still get grey bar with videos. Not in youtube, but in Vplayer for example. MKV 720p file. What can be wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] FordT:
Yes, it is build from the official CM9 sources, so it has the same changelog. I made in this case two minor adjustments, changing the standard resolution to MDPI and removing the restriction that the PowerWidget settings is not shown on large screens.

I'm not taking any ownership of the work that has been done. I'm a humble beginner, but stuff like this gives me the chance to evolve. The first bit was a configuration change, the second bit was actually in the code. I'm very happy that it works for me and I'd like to share with others who might be able to use it as well.
[Galaxy S II General] Powereh:
That is strange are you using the newest nightly? & official MHL cable from Samsung?

TV is a Phillips 32in full HD ambilight Freeview LCD TV 32PFL8404H

What is weird is MKV will play the video just fine, everything else is static. Audio also works fine with AVI files & flac/mp3 through the surround sound but no sound in the MKV.

since 20120324, my screen randomly turns on and shuts itself off after a few seconds. It does it 3-4 times, then nothing happens for about 5 minutes. After this, it does it again :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Any news about video recording?
[Galaxy S II General] Powereh:
Audio on the MKV is AC3. But AC3 usually outputs fine over MHL, DTS is a bit hit & miss but this is going on Samsung ROMS.

Audio on the AVI was mpga.

Maybe whit deep sleep its even better...

Can someone help me out
[Galaxy S II General] shumo:
when i had this issue i noticed that restarting or sjutting down did not help

try to shut down the phone then remove the battery for a few minutes ( 5 minutes ) and then put it back and start the phone

it worked for me
[Galaxy S II General] Danwms:

[Galaxy S II General] MrZammler:
It doesn't do that here, so maybe check some apps that are running?

I remember having that on the first flash I did with CM9. Turned out to be "brilliant quotes", uninstalled and done with it.

Check apps for "prevent from going to sleep" permissions.

that is quite good to know. But I can say that I had to go back to 2.3.x because last night during 7h I was sleeping battery dropped from 100% to 62%., this is the worst I have ever seen. Phone never went to deep sleep and I checked with better battery stats that it was wifi..something which made kernel wake locks whole 7 hours eating battery away.

Didn't try another night with wifi off, it could be that results are better.

EDIT: Did wipe calendar, cache, dalvik - working now.
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
This is in no way a solution. If you have "rogue" apps, then uninstall them, there are nothing like this after a fresh installation. Get in touch with the app developer.

The media scanner might be rough after a fresh install, however if you stop it before it finishes his first job, you will be lacking files. Don't come and complain for missing photos and musics.
[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
Just tested it and Calendar is working fine for me. Take it you've tried the Gapps fixer and wiped the cache partition?
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
This,

I don't understand buying a top notch smartphone, then shutting all the smart down, to score extra hours battery life. If aosp has useless things that need to be frozen, consider a basic dialler phone, battery life is win.

I also had the same issue with calendar remaining blank. I had to nand restore, and flash the 01112012-2 update without wiping, and everything is now normal again.

The only set back so far is battery drain. But this is a developing issue, which am sure will be sorted out.

Tested GPS again this morning after wiping and installing the 3/25 build. I was walking to work and turned on GPS and after about 3-4mins it locked.

Google location service is enabled by default. GPS satalites are also enabled (when it's on obviously :D) GPS source only has internal but it wasn't checked (so it defaults to that vs Bluetooth). The last option for me location & google search is not checked as i usually turn that off during setup.
[Galaxy S II General] D4rKn3sSyS:
Ok guys, I researched a bit over HDMI thing, it seems like if broadcast receiver (the little dude who gets "notified" when we connect cable), never register the service (the one who refresh the images on TV), that's why we get a static image, then, fix should be just start HDMI service manually, when cable gets connected (dirty way :p). Codeworx, Xplodwild, am I Wrong or missing something?.

Btw, can someone say me where the hell is the Class that has "TvOutService_java" tag?, so I can check what's wrong inside those methods, and add some debugging info for stacktracing the issue, and try to find a useful fix. As im not C developer, I may be wrong, and it could be just a kernel issue. Android is really weird :) that's why we love it. Take that iOS

GPS still doesn't work properly here. It only locks in areas not surrounded by buildings (so it is almost useless in Paris!). Network localisation works perfectly however, so that's fine.
[Galaxy S II General] Powereh:
What is odd though is that the MKV file plays without static image the image moves perfectly fine like it does on the Samsung ROMS just no sound. So the movie app manually starts the HDMI service?

On the other hand AVI audio works but no video just static of the image before opening the AVI.

I can't understand how it can show the MKV perfectly fine bar the sound but everything else is static.

I can't help with the last bit though I have no idea :D
[Galaxy S II General] D4rKn3sSyS:
I can't certainly say what's going on, without at least reading a little bit of the tvout service, and broadcast receiver. But how you say it, it seems more a hardware decoding problem, if is so, then is game over for me :p, I have no idea @ that. Anyway, it's better to clear possible problems :)

[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
Or maybe... Just a random thought tho...

What if TV out not working is linked to the camera issue? The reason why there is no video is because the phone isn't saving the whole frames, rather is saving only the preview of them, thus the low res. Many times it won't even start recording or as codeworkx said, aac fails to start recording and the video just refuses to save the whole frames.

Perhaps al of this is a hardware decoding issue. Maybe that reason why HDMI isn't getting its service started is linked to why the camera isn't starting to record. Maybe we are all looking at the wrong thing, at the wrong side.

Unfortunately, I can't really help in terms of stacktracing or debugging because I have no code knowledge :o

How do I remove an unlock-pattern/password/pin once I set it?

When I was going to add a certificate it asked me for a password. Since I did not remember it I entered it incorrectly for three times, so the authentification vault got deleted. Then it told me I had to set a new password which I did. But it redirected me to the unlock-password dialogue. So I simply set a password. But now I cant remove any unlock-method and I really don't want to have this "feature" enabled.

Also: Where to find the "face unlock" flashable zip?

Edit

Found the problem... Whenever you add a VPN or a certificate so you need a vault-password, you have to have such an unlock-password. I really hate that it is coupled that way instead of having two separate passwords.
[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
Yes, but you still require a lot of stuff. From that post :

needs opensource gralloc -> needs origen egl -> needs mali downgrade -> needs opensource hwcomposer -> needs opensource camera -> needs different mfc interface -> camera doesn't work at all, codecs don't work, bootanimation goes away, performance is bad.

Perhaps once you get what you need, you'll fix 2 things with 1 fix. Perhaps why HDMI ain't working is because the files it requires to output to the TV aren't there, just like with the videocam. And look, you said "codecs won't work". And by that, perhaps that's why the HDMI service isn't starting?

Just noticed something strange after flashing 25th (from 20th).

Had absolutely no issue playing videos (1080p were fine, mkv in S/W too, didn't try 1080 mkv :p) before.

Just played a 1080p video in MX Video Player on latest nightly and it was stuttering.

I thought it may be due do the fact that previously, it used samsung codecs and now opensource ones. But I kinda felt the new CPU governor may be in cause and bingo, if set to ONDEMAND, no issue on above video, whereas INTERACTIVE is stuttering.

I thought INTERACTIVE was more reactive, e.g giving more juice when needed ? :confused:

Anyway, I put ONDEMAND + Set on boot ;)
