I know that but won't it just be the updated app that got merged into android_bootable_recovery as it was an app issue & not a commit by someone in the repo that broke the recovery in the first place.
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
So, can we have an "official statement" about the nandroid backup status? Can I definitely assume to be safe to make a backup from build 0730 (latest)?
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
I'm using fluxi atm, and indeed there are freezes, but only got 2 so far, it's fine Imho.

As for the benefits, stock CM9 kernel grants better battery life, even without undervolting, but performance are seriously hindered, UI is laggy, hiccups everywhere, slowdowns while writing, etc. with fluxi i didn't get any of these, the phone is always ready to go at 100%.

I don't know other people standard use, but i tested both kernels on a clean RC2 installation and found fluxi kernel to be the clear winner.

As for radio, I'm using LQ5, from leaked wipe bug afflicted Samsung rom, and signal is great, but i use three Italy as provider, results may differ.

Thanks. That's all I wanted to know.

To some people who got "annoyed" by my "comment", my mistake for not mentioning that the "problem" I was referring to is about CWM recovery.

^ I'm having this issue too.

Didn't have the problem with RC2, but I am on the latest nightlies. Just purchased BetterBatteryStats, and I'm gonna try to pinpoint my wakelock issue otherwise I may roll back for a while...
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
The volume drop on notification was fixed but it doesn't seem to be working as it's supposed to be. Volume still drops while taking a screen shot or when adjusting the alarm volume & never returns to its previous level. Anyone else having the issue?
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Is the world on vacation or what? This thread grows slowly in a satisfying way nowdays.

One thing that is bothering me (apart from screen dimming and locking in slideshow) is when the phone dims down after some seconds of inactivity, it will dim in a stuttering way, like 100% -> 70% -> 40% ---------> 0%

Please confirm.

Deep sleep works. If it doesn't work after a data factory reset: Format internal storage [emmc or sdcard], data, system, cache. And flash today's build (31).
[Galaxy S II General] AvRS:
Alot of people will be trying CM10 and posting pointless things over there instead now which allows others who wish to continue with CM9 to talk about....CM9. I'm finally able to just read a couple of pages a day now compared to the other thread where I read the last page and ignore the rest as grows at a ridiculous rate. If you're on RC2, if it's not already posted in the bug list you could submit it I guess if it can be reproduced like you say.
[Galaxy S II General] unreal64:
As i told, maybe my configuration wasn't perfect, so i couldn't squeeze the biggest performance from that kernel, anyway i'm absolutely sure that, cm9 stock kernel doesn't lag to me, NEVER, so i'm just fine this way. i will wait a daily-driver-nightly from cm10 to have more butter ;) (i really don't like phone freezes and with stock cm9 i never encountered one)

as i said about the modem, i guess that when you change mobile carrier you have to change the modem accordingly... that's what i realized at the end of the story. if it is true in italy, maybe could be wrong in other countries. (if you will ever change your carrier let me know if i'm wrong )

did you tried to change settings in settings->display->automatic backlight "screen dim level" and "decrease hysteresis"... i guess you should be able to adjust that behavior with this 2 parameter :)

for the deep sleep problem i think it's all a matter of installed apps. i am almost sure that cm9 itself does not contribute to this issue anymore, but a lot of applications does: facebook, chrome, facebook messages, google+. these apps created a lot of problem to me. i decided to get rid of chrome some weeks ago, and the situation improved a lot, but sometimes, i really don't know why, facebook and fb messenger go in berserk mode, and there is no way -apart long press back button to kill- to stop then. i can handle google+ app more easily.

the point i want to highlight is that i change absolutely nothing. one day everything is perfect, i send fb msg, i read status, and so on. maybe also the second day. the third day is awful! and i have to kill all fb things. anyway the 4th day could be better than ever... and so on. totally unpredictable :/

if wiping the sd cards will help maybe his deep sleep problem was related to the media scanner (and, as someone said, bad tagged mp3/videos)

i like the way this thread is populated now. even though i think there aren't so much issues left to talk about, i really enjoy reading this thread every day :)
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Doesn't work. And unchecking "Allow light decrease" doesn't do anything. If I understand the setting right, unchecking it should disable the dim after some seconds...? It still dims. I hate that dim, I'd like it better if it stayed 100% bright until it hits the time (15 sec for me).
[Galaxy S II General] unreal64:
now i understood what you mean. i use to set the lowest light setting so i couldn't see it, using 100% bright will show it better. for me the light goes from 100% to min almost istantly, is not so bad, and i really don't care. it happens when the timer for the screen disabling reaches about 2/3 i think..

i think the settings i mentioned before don't work as they applies when the automatick backlight is enabled. i don't see any helpful settings, sorry :(
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Aaaah, look, it HAS to happen to all of you. It's a fresh install. As you say, setting the brightness to >50% will isolate the problem.

Set the brightness to 30-40% and look at the screen. When it dims down, it will stutter-dim it. Try it! Set it to 30-40% and confirm!

[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Now that Siyah 3.5 has fixed some autobrightness issues, I would like to see the CM kernel modified.

The new Siyah now adjusts brightness a few seconds after screen on. This is compared to like 10-15 seconds or what felt like an eternity if I went from an office room to the bright outside to turn my phone on.

While many of you say that you can adjust values in the advanced menus, I feel that the default settings should represent a usable setting kinda like a stock phone is setup. It would be nice to see this issue fixed in the CM kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Dalabad:
I had a lot of Problems with the latest nightlies and also the 2 Release Candidates.

The most anoying ones are:

Music switches to silent, if a notification comes in (Mail, SMS, ...)

GoogleApps crashes and all other apps start to crash. only fix is restarting, but after a while it starts again

My phone often loses internet connection and connects again. Multiple times per second

Raise a bug report as you're supposed to, based on RC2 as per instructions. Or stick with the amateur non-stock kernel

i have always battery drain because android os ( which i think fixed in 4.0.4 but not on s2 ) its happend on cm9 and cm10 on stock kernel or any kernel even with wiped everything ( it's never happened on my s1 or Gnex after 4.0.4 but its still on s2 -_- )

in 10 hours

on s1 or Gnex its never go crazy like that
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Read elsewhere - this is not necessarily a problem.

I'll tell you, disable chrome sync and tilt scrolling in chrome preferences and you'll see the Android OS drain go away.

Hi!

I'm try to regularly check this thread and until now I managed to find solutions to whatever issues I had.

I'm on 20120714 nightly and all seam OK for me but camera preview (I know it's been fix in later nighty's) but

I have a problem when I upgrade to newer nightly as Adaffix, SBK widget and Weather alarm crashes but also

every time I restart the phone I get message that android is upgrading! Also after I removed the three problematic programs.

I hade this problem with all the nightly's that I tried. (20120726 20120727 20120728 20120729).

Now I also found that ConverterPad is not working for me.

I tried: Fix permissions, clear data, and clear Dalvik cash.

Also when I removed Adaffix, SBK widget and Weather alarm and later tried to reinstall them I got message that there is insufficient memory to install.

When installing newer nightly I just did nandroid backup and install nightly from sd card.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Generally the Nightlies are better, as updates come first to them.

Well, there have also been people that say the drain is just a wrong reading and the Android OS is not draining battery at all.
[Galaxy S II General] yahyoh:
i know but i think its drain my battery :p and its too high , btw it's fixed in 4.0.4 as i test it on s1 and Gnex but still there on s2 :cyclops:
[Galaxy S II General] eradicator006:
You don't need to disable chrome sync. Disabling tilt scrolling alone is enough to fix the issue.
[Galaxy S II General] yahyoh:
disabled like 1 hour ago still monitoring battery ( and there is no way to disable chrome sync on JB :silly: :D )
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
i don't really know, after re-installing (note: re-installing from playstore, not restoring from a backup) my phone started to lag here and there, UI was laggy, for S2 standards i mean, and had serious slowdowns while using G+, Tapatalk or Chrome, instead with fluxi kernel nothing happened even after re installing all my apps.
[Galaxy S II General] c0x91:
The screen rotation doesnt work anymore. I also tried changing rom but the problem still persists. Possible fix?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:

Weird Clockwork Bug

Hi,

I had a weird clockwork bug today.

I was backing up (like a good user) before updating to JB.

I entered CW recovery (6.0.0.6) and choose the standard "Backup" option.

I then got an error (cannot write /something/log) sorry I forgot the error

Then after that I rebooted - only to be stuck at the samsung bootloader screen.

I got back into Clockwork using HOME + Volume UP - to find that all of my phone had been wiped.

/system /emmc /data and my SDCard were all empty.

I only managed to re - install after formatting each of the partitions in CWM.

Should I have chosen the "Backup to External SD"?.

Has anyone seen this bug before?

It boshed a lot of my holiday pictures that had not synced yet :( Which made me cross as I was trying to backup.
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
This was a problem on a couple of nightlies, it's been fixed since, I think we're now upto cwm 6.0.1 but unfortunately quite a few people got wiped sdcards
[Galaxy S II General] StevenHarperUK:
Ahhh ta.

Wiped SDCards - can deal with - I can recover them.

But all my photo's were on the internal slice - so there was no hope for them.

Lesson learnt - backup manually before running backup (sheesh!)

So no changes in bbq changelog means no changes?

If there are no changes in the changelog means nothing has changed & the current nightly is the same as yesterday's nightly. Nightlies get build by the bots automatically whether there are change or not.

Hi guys, I´m going to Europe and I´ll use a spanish vodafone SIM card there. I´m going to Spain, France and Germany.

Actually, I´m using XLPS modem. Do you know some the most used modems for this countries, that I could bring with me and flash in any one of them or do you think XLPS is enough good? I never had any trouble of lost signal here in Brazil with it.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Codeworkx has been using XXLPS in most of the screenshots he has posted lately (he used LBP for CM9 but those shots are pretty old) and he's in Germany so you can assume that XXLPS will be at least pretty good in Germany.

Guys,

Sorry for the slight off-topic but I had an Stock Samsung FW installed with an encrypted eMMC (internal memory card) and came back to CM9.The problem is that I forgot to factory reset it before changing back to CM9. Instead I did a full wipe after installing the ODIN CM9. Now my eMMC is gone and I cannot mount it.

There is any way to recover / format it?

Please help...

Non Wake

Hi guys,

I have two problems with every nightly. I have done wipe cache, dalvic cache, fix permissions and finally wipe data but can't solved :(

First is sometimes phone sleeps and won't wake up with any button. I call my phone from another phone and i hear ringing voice but phone still don't wake so people that are calling me cant reach sometimes and there will be no call record on call history. So phone sometimes sleeps very deeply so only restarting wakes it up.

Second is on stock modern and with all other modems sometimes while talking on phone and sometimes when phone is idle suddenly network gone and call drops. No service a few minutes and after wait some time service comes again.

Anyone has this and any solution? I love cm and don't want to go back to the stock rom :(
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Are you really expecting any help after calling people lazy for not helping you!?

Anyway, I see no stutter on screen dimming at that brightness level
[Galaxy S II General] darthvidor:

I asked this a couple of days ago but got no definite answer.

Is the nandroid backup considered safe in the last 2 builds (starting from 0730 and later)?

[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
what does he mean by stutter? like it doesn't dim smoothly but with clear distinct jumps in brightness... well that's what I see.... for other devices like my iDevices, the autobrightness moves in a very smooth manner when it ramps up or down. i could see this being a complaint.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
That's exactly what i mean. Thanks for confirming. Let's see if others are experiencing the same behaviour when brightness is set to 30-40%.

There are four patches that have been in review for a while now that I'd really like to see get into a stable release.

I read that, when you have an encrypted emmc you have to factory reset the phone in order to get the emmc decrypted.

What I did is: I re-flashed the same stock rom and, during the boot, they forced me format the emmc. The problem now is that, I think that all the data space that I was using and was encypted is not available. It is showing only 11,5gb available. I think that the normal used to be like 14gb...

But at least I have the emmc again....

[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
It depends really, there may never be an official 'stable' version for the S2. It really depends on whether the device maintainer decides that the remaining bugs are serious enough for the release to be called stable. CM7 had a stable release for the S2 which was then 'recinded' as it had many bugs still present. Currently on the bug tracker we have all these bugs reported for the S2:

"Recent apps" launch when waking phone with home key

Unresponsive lock screen when Wi-Fi connection lost

touch sensitivity on SGS2/cm9/stock kernel

Camera FC when switching back to camera mode after recording video

MX Player Pro 1.6h hangs during watching AVI XVID video

Freeze issue running SCUMMVM SDL version

Gallery app bug - FX - lomo, vignette, documentary, fish-eye not working

Slow UMS transfer speed from PC to SGS2

Plugging headphones changes mute status, unplugging does not restore original setting

"searching for GPS" notification not animated

Camera preview does not show (in apps that can use camera) after taking photo

Adjusting incall volume doesn't always work

The value of sensor is -1

Handcent SMS Window Loop

Black screen after opening notification from LockScreen

Hang up through headphone's buttons doesn't work when screen is off

Adding music files to SD card breaks music library

Device freezes with Galaxy S2 while scrolling in "DB Navigator" (maybe CPU rendering related)

Stuck on DialPad

Notification Bar on Lockscreen is disabled when using Profiles

All of these are specific to the S2, although not all of them may be actual bugs that affect everyone, and this list doesn't include bugs that are present across all devices using CM10. That said I find the ROM to work absolutely fine for my needs, though I do get the odd S.O.D. when using Temple Run or watching .flv videos on MX Player
[Galaxy S II General] unreal64:
Today I tried what you said several times, and I do confirm that it happens also to me. I can also affirm that happens with ALL brightness level, even 100%, but is really, really fast, and you have to really want to see it...

So I think it's not a bug, but a setting, maybe it uses a certain number of steps to dim, which are not so much, so a very careful person can notice it. Probably with other kernels/Roms the number of steps are increased.

Definitely not an issue at all for me.

(I'm sorry you asked me to test but I missed you message!)
[Galaxy S II General] bahaa89:
This is the first time I had to go to the second page in General to find our beloved CM9 thread, so the majority of the friends have moved to CM10 and abandoned CM9 ? :P

Are the devs forgot about us or there is a stable version around the corner :)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
There will be a stable, CM9 development will continue, just like CM7 development continues. Since CM10 previews are starting to come out for all devices some of the devs are diverted to that for a bit, and they are also working on the bugs in the bug tracker for CM9, you can rest assured that there will be a CM9 stable when it's ready, a better timeline than that is never available.

Doesn't make much sense to work on CM9. CM10 is faster, better, greater and works as good as CM9.
