What the hell is it with The Christian Post and posting news stories that are either inaccurate, speculation or are just plain wrong? Their latest article:

http://global.christianpost.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s2-receives-android-4-1-jellybean-78412/

As much as I'd love it to be true, there is no CM10 release yet on SGS2 so I don't know what they're playing at by announcing a release (unless they mixed it up with the S3, in which case they should learn to read up on the facts before posting a news story to prevent things like this happening).

They also recently wrote an article saying that they had a source which had confirmed that there would be no ICS 4.0.4 update for the SGS2, and only a matter of days later the ICS 4.0.4 update was actually released.

Not to mention their article which stated that the SGS2 wouldn't be getting Jelly Bean due to hardware incompatibilities, as a quad-core processor and larger screen resolution were required. They had no source on this, and the Nexus S with a single-core processor and similar resolution to the SGS2 is getting Jelly Bean, which just supports the fact that they report complete bull**** and proclaim it's true. The last story annoyed me in particular, as around 300 other news stories later cropped up on other sites saying that the SGS2 would not be receiving Jelly Bean, citing The Christian Post as their source.

Am I the only one who finds this absolutely f*cking ridiculous, that a supposed news website can repeatedly post utter crap and proclaim it as news, with no sources or evidence to support hypotheses which are later proven to be wrong?

Rant over, just thought I'd let people know that, sadly, we can't trust certain news sites anymore because of things like this. Thought I'd post this to try and prevent a few hundred comments from people asking where the CM10 release is that they read about on TCP.
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
The Book of Revelation clearly says that CM10 will be delivered to those who quit fapping.
[Galaxy S II General] mpcjanssen:
Had the same problem. Got a 403 on Home WiFi, but not on another WiFi network (at work). I suspect therefore it's a problem at googles side. Especially since the problem occurs both on stock and on CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Everyone already knows they're an untrustworthy source with false speculation. I wish they'd find out themselves though, would save us alot of grief.

***Edit*** Also, if you take the time to read the article, there is in fact a Cyanogenmod 10 release for the Galaxy S2... i9100G. They really have a knack at being completely innacurate with their news posts.
[Galaxy S II General] ThunderWolf78:
Is there anybody out there with a S3 running the 1607 nightly or later that has increased the volume of the key press, lock and unlock sound and if so, how?

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
This isn't an S3 forum so probably not where you wanna ask that question.

Anyways download hide it pro from the play store and you can increase system sounds with it.

[Galaxy S II General] Looter:
Hi ,

I am new to CM9 and I would like to know how can I enable the 2 finger zoom in-zoom out gesture for browser and gallery.

I took a look at the sensor meny but i didnt see anything related.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Um. Pinch to zoom? You can't disable it from anywhere. It always works.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
He meant the 2 finger tilt zoom feature from stock Samsung Touch****. That's not and will never be implemented in CM. I never liked it anyway, so much better with PTZ.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Oh. Didn't think anyone even used that in stock.
[Galaxy S II General] Looter:
Yes i meant that 2 finger zoom in - zoom out gesture.

Since this feautere is not implemented in CM9 why it is not mentioned in the known issues list??
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Its not an issue. Its a feature that is never going to be implemented.
[Galaxy S II General] mpcjanssen:
missing feature != issue (especially if the feature sucks)
[Galaxy S II General] omrif:
I'm really frustrated.

I suffer from wakelocks of Secril-fd, following the multiple searching online I found it was caused by Fast Dormancy and my network is not support him.

I had a whole week looking for a solution to cancel the FD but can not find. Any solution found includes the codes: (* # 9 .. etc) known not to work on CM9.

Does anyone have a solution for me? Really I'm getting frustrated.

:good:
[Galaxy S II General] Looter:
Is there any list with these non implemented features??
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Anything Touchwiz related pretty much. No there isn't a list. I get the feeling this isn't the ROM for you.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Disable it by adding this line to the build.prop EDIT: I'm not sure this works.... It's for the i9003.

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0
[Galaxy S II General] :
Fast dormancy is enabled by default? Really? And this disables it, right?
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
It should, but after some reading, it might not work. Read this;

http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/at-your-own-risk-how-to-disable-fast.html

The guy modified the CSC before flashing to sort it out, and then made an app (for i9300) to disable it... Read it, interesting.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Gokhan doing the app? haha, interesting. Well, never had this wakelock, but maybe I just passed it unseen, so I'm going to test for it again.
[Galaxy S II General] omrif:
Hey men, I try this allready and it's didn't work.
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
Well have you read their name? They believe in what they say:angel:

If we all would trust in god we would know that CM10 will be coming to S2... sometime in near future...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Yes, did you read the posts above? I've never thought about this before. Hope the CM team will implement a way to disable it via the build.prop file.
[Galaxy S II General] omrif:
Last week I had seen this application but because I saw it to S3, then not installed.

Now I tried and seems to also work on the S2. I went to check if the Wakelock disappeared.
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
Can anybody try for me if they still get any information in aLogcat?

There used to be a lot of info scrolling past my screen in aLogcat, but now it is basically empty...

Did anything change recently causing this? :confused:

EDIT: nevermind, a re-install fixed it.
[Galaxy S II General] :

script.Unmount("/system")

There are two of them, making a repetition, so the green marked one isn't needed. Look here at the update-script. Yeah, small thing but why not clean up? ;) I will try to send a patch just to clean up.

package_extract_file("system/bin/backuptool.functions", "/tmp/backuptool.functions");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/backuptool.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/tmp/backuptool.functions");

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "0");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "/system");

Question, what's that?

package_extract_dir("recovery", "/system");

Guess it doesn't apply to the i9100, right?

Anyone having issues with nandroid backup on the cwm 6? I think something is up with SD card access, took 25 mins to do a backup and my phone was on fire when it was done and had lost a ton of battery. Tried another SD card and it was the same.
[Galaxy S II General] shorza:
I also had this problem with the last 2 nightlies. I flashed a different modem (XXLQ5) and all is good now. My previous modem was NELP4.
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
Fixed in next nightly
[Galaxy S II General] RagingHarry:
Wasn't this the patch that was made because of the Gapps not being backed up @ applying/updating to a new Nightly/Kang, because of the mount/unmount was triggered to late and the backup of Gapps as we knew it in CM9 got borked by some earlier changes.

In other words, without this modification we would need to constantly apply Gapps after updating with the nightly builds, to keep them installed, at least that is what I understood of this patch comming up to fix the Gapps loss mentioned earlier in this thread after updating.

The commit message:

7	i9100/i777: Fix breakage caused by 19184

[Galaxy S II General] :
Yes, but if you look at the update-script, there's no need to do one thing twice in a row [actually, the two unmount lines are separated by a show progress line]
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Well I've also had all my app crash on me 5 times already & I get the ANR dialog box for all my apps. The only thing that solves it is a wipe but I have never been able to check the reason as those boxes just keep poping up

one after the other & I can't do anything else. Happened a couple of days ago in fact & I just hold the power button down & switch off the the phone. Next time I'll be a keep a little patience & I'll try getting to the exception error part to see if I also get an sqlite error. I'm pretty sure that I'm also getting an sqliteIOException as well.

If you open the cm9 zip file there isn't a /recovery folder in /system so I'm assuming that it's not for us but maybe for other devices.

downloaded the recent nightly and flashed it with the standard wiping procedures. however i seem to have problems with my data connection with some apps including market. is there any way to fix this?

i have tried resetting multiple times and reflashed a range of modems too... help would be appreciated!
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
Everyone is so eager to get CM10 but we don't even have a stable CM9 yet... Its what a RC2? Does this mean that you guys expect no further development of CM9 once a nightly CM10 comes?
[Galaxy S II General] tylercarter:
Nope. Cm9 will continue. I feel the nightlys are pretty stable. Just because it doesn't say stable doesn't mean it isn't.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
If it's a label your bothered about then you would need to wait. This has been discussed several times already. Nightly are very stable. I've never had a major issues with them. If someone where to rename this to stable you would hardly be able to tell the difference. The reason it's taking so much time is because first of all CM9 started from scratch since GB & ICS were so different & they did not use anything from GB except features of CM & second of all the CM team does a very through job & has high standards so it's not going to put a stable build out until it's convinced that it's a finished product. Development isn't easy, period.

Even if CM10 nightly start CM9 will still continue as stated before by the team. There won't be nightlies for it but work will continue on the stable or RC builds.
[Galaxy S II General] kemikelx:
Try to reflash gapps.zip from goo.im/gapps. The Gapps seems to be having problems in the latest nightly.

[Galaxy S II General] archer797:
Is the GPS indicator blinking or is it steady? If it is not steady, try going out to an open area and check if you can get a stable lock (GPS indicator stops blinking). Try using FasterFix. It works really well.

I've been given for sale SGS2 today. Haven't been using CM9 on SGS2 since April cause moved to Gnexus. Today installed latest nightly. And guess what? There is still issue with Movie Studio: Still gives fc or reboot when try to apply FX at the beginning, at the end or in between. Very sad. :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Are you sure? They said they will continue to develop CM7 and CM10, but didn't say when will they stop CM9.

And yes, I agree, CM9 is buggy atm, it's not worthy of a RC, not to mention stable.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Just relax dude. Enjoy CM9, don't worry about it. You will have a lot of time tu use a supported CM9, a lot of time. CM9 is not buggy, it's actually less buggy than Samsung Stock. Are you waiting the "stable" to call it not buggy? Forgive it.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Cm9 will stop after the stable version. Then there only will be cm10.

[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
Hi!

I have searched in that topic but there's many unrelated results, and I did not successfully skimmed them.

With CM9, I went to google play and I see it was asking me to update 4 different apps including "root terminal" (exact name, can't remember) and 2-3 other "root components". Those are some of the tools provided by default in CM9 (I haven't installed anything else beside chrome, and I have everything CM9 even kernel, etc...).

Question is, are we suppose to update them when we see a new update? I have concerns because after I updated them and opened, the phone became slow, unresponsive, and the keyboard would not re size when bending the phone horizontally... well it kind of crashed.

I still have a nightly from may so I know it's useless to find the root cause and that we don't do bug report on the nightly.

So it's just a general question.

Thanks!

Simple script command to extract the content of recovery folder from the archive to the /system folder on the phone.

As mentionned by illidan, as there is no such folder in the archive which is built, it is likely our device is not concerned.

Is the RC2 the same as yesterday's nightly plus changes or is it earlier state?
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Nightly plus changes.
[Galaxy S II General] usmanhaider101:
these changes being done after last nightly in RC2
[Galaxy S II General] Archaic1881:
It's build from a different branch (CM_RELEASE vs CM_NIGHTLY) so I would think it is not the same + changes, but a different base. It should be RC1 + fixes, and no changes done after RC1 was released.

I'm not sure the BBQlog or any other changelog display this correctly, for example, I don't think the RC uses the opensource sensor hal (github shows it belonging to the ICS branch, but not the ICS RELEASE branch).
[Galaxy S II General] :
Everything the last nightly had the RC2 has.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Well.. Let's put it this way. Today's nightly is called RC2. That's how it works.
[Galaxy S II General] fayezkhan555:
What is the diff. between RC1 & RC2.? Or I may ask what is RC?
[Galaxy S II General] :
True story. Actually is really this. No significant changes from the last nightly to RC. So, nightly = RC. The problem is the placebo wave, calling nightlies unstable, blah blah, RCs are stable, blah blah. Not like that at all.

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------

Everything from RC1 to RC2. Check every nightly between that.
[Galaxy S II General] zaki0saad:
RC stands for release candidate, and is a build of CM9 (or any other software) that the developers feel sets a kind of 'milestone' and is of a more significant release than usual patches or nightlies.

Hi everyone. I have a question please.

I know custom kernels on cm9 are not supported and this isn't a moan about any problems. But if I am running cm9 with a custom kernel (neak in my case, currently) and want to flash the latest nightly/rc what is the procedure? Can I just flash the zip from cwm or do I need to flash the stock kernel via odin first?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
The .zip contains everything you need, including the stock CM9 kernel.

Just flash away.
[Galaxy S II General] Rndmness:
Is it just me or is Launcher Settings no longer in system settings? :confused:

Okay this may be a simple/noob question to some of you but...

what is the easiest and most straight-forward fullproof way to flashing cm9 onto a stock samsung galaxy s2 (still with gingerbread 2.3.x)?

- flash cf-root (and getting root access in the process) and then use CWM to flash cm9?

I need some clarifications so i do not screw up the phone.
