Gallery: I'm alyway using QuickPic

Ok here are the best pictures I could make (dual booting wanamlite 10.7 and cm9)

Both selected from a set of about 20pictures (damn things won't stop moving around :P)

Same distance, macro setting

starring my two cats

Software is about as important as hardware, and the cm9 camera app is not working that good.

On cm9 there are blur-artifacts or whatever you could call it, also it is much harder to get a sharp image. With the samsung camera app your hand doesn't have to stay nearly as steady to produce a good picture. Slight movements on cm9 and you will get nothing but blur.

Original files:

cm9: http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/39053443/file.html

Samsung: http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/78008821/file.html

It's a completely different style, look at the edges of the pictures. cm9 has an "okay" center and gets really bad towards the edges, Samsung image is about equally good throughout the whole picture.

[Galaxy S II General] AcmE85:
Ok, there might be something to it.

The best way to test this is if you could take almost identical images

from an object.
[Galaxy S II General] Silent3sniper:
Yeah, I need the same lighting conditions and setup.

I'll do that in the evening and use some books to lock the phone in position!

Wrong network provider

Hi all. First, thanks to everyone who helped provide this rom. Second, whenever I use this rom or another based on CyanogenMod 9, my network shows up as Orange or T-Mobile. I live in the UK and should be on Virgin Mobile. My other roms pick it up ok. I can not manually find Virgin in network settings. Any ideas on how I can correct this. Many thanks to any ideas :-)
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
I don't have a cat, so i shot my gizmo in macro mode. :D

Can't reproduce this.

You're using a custom kernel btw...
[Galaxy S II General] Silent3sniper:
Using siyahkernel on both roms, so I guess it's still a fair comparison?

Not sure if it even affects the camera.
[Galaxy S II General] Kh0rdan:
Concerning the camera, I went out for a test run in the nearby forest recently... Didn't have any issues whatsoever. No photos were deleted, I just shot all of them "from the hip" ;)

I guess camera capabilities are very dependant on the light since I had no problems with blurryness or macro shots...

There you go, see for yourselves: CM9 Camera test
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
I could imagine a relation here, cause it's their own camera app and their own kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Silent3sniper:
I know, generally and without comparison I'd consider the pictures ok / as good as it gets aswell.

But this is the second time I feel like cm9 has bad picture quality.

I'll make a fair comparison under the same conditions and settings (fresh cm9 nightly 13.04.12 install without custom kernel, deodexed samsung 4.0.3. JPS (newest).

edit.: Ganze Seite voll mit deutschen xD
[Galaxy S II General] Dr. Strange:
He probably does not have coding skills or knowledge. You are also one of the few guys developing cm9 on sgs2 so he politely asked you to do it.

Codeworkx, WHY U NO BE NICE?!

it has nothing to do with aokp.
[Galaxy S II General] jerryhou85:
sirfgps: enabled sensor aiding, frequency aiding and emc feature (android_device_samsung_galaxys2)

It seems next nightly will officially fix GPS issue. :)
[Galaxy S II General] rohit_deshmukh11:
Unable to hide contact

I am unable to hide contact which don't have number? I m using CM9 "4/13"
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You cannot because it's the people's app and it's supposed to show all kinds of contacts.

To see only contacts with phone numbers open the phone app and then go to the last tab. You will see your frequently called first then scroll down to see the contacts with only phone numbers.
[Galaxy S II General] rudolf895:
Yes every boot or you could just put a. sh script inside which will get auto execute by the kernel on every boot, thus kinda eliminating the problem, which actually isn't any problem, but still some people see it that way

Your welcome :-)
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
+1 .
[Galaxy S II General] sinjinn:
Virgin piggybacks on the orange/TMobile network. They don't have thier own network, i would guess this is the reason.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Finally! I was getting tired of flashing the gps patch after every new nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
i just gave an normal answer.

- I can't translate because i don't understand his language

- i'm no translator

- i've nothing to do with aokp

- this is not the place for aokp requests

what's wrong with you?

also this is not the place for discussing such bull****.
[Galaxy S II General] alekos panagulis:
Come on man, you were VERY rude. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] malikalhaji:
Guess its best apologise and lets forget about it
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
If you were spending lots of your free time improving the ROM and then only reading this kind of stuff for pages, instead of some comments about recent fixes/improvements, you'll too be a bit pissed off eventually i think... :o
[Galaxy S II General] BurlaMatto:
+1 i agree

ps thanks for your efforts :)
[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
Yeah i have an idea. It's to check the known issues first.
[Galaxy S II General] FabricioGS:
Plus, 3G in Brazil is crap. Just crap. You guys have 4G in US and we can't even count on a reliable/stable connection, so TuneIn is not a viable option. And even if our 3G were good, it would consume a lot more battery than regular FM Radio on a Sammy ROM.

Besides, I like Radio.. we have good programs in here.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarplayerone:
Does anyone know if CM9 has fixed the sammy bitpool a2dp issue?
[Galaxy S II General] AndroidFalcon:
3g/2g not working only Wifi , I don't need my unlimited data plan anymore :p
[Galaxy S II General] hellaflush:
Absolutely loving this build guys and cannot wait for the official transition to fully supported CM9's...

A couple of issues that I have found (most of which I was searching for and found no mention?)

clock crashes when attempting to go into the Alarm section to set alarms

Youtube playback has been broken in the last 2 build releases

For the love of god I cannot get google maps to work even with the fixer

Video recording and recorded video playback (known issue I know)

Intermittently not matching names and their numbers in the contacts phone log for missed calls/dialed calls

That is all that really effects me... most of these things are quite critical to me but I am loving the build that much, I am putting up with it :D

Keep up the good work guys!
[Galaxy S II General] freedserf:
google maps

Don't know which did the trick, but the current trebuchet.apk and the maps upgrade to 6.1 combined to allow the install.

I'm running Jackpot's 1229E port of ICS on the KF. Originally, couldn't get GMaps to load, always got a "not on this device you don't" message. But GMaps 6.1 will install. Unfortunately I only tried the install (from m.google.com/maps) after pushing the current trebuchet.apk. Did 1064 bytes make a difference? Maybe GMaps 6.1 is an ICS app.

keyboard crash when typing hebrew

Hey, i love the build, but i have a problem that bugging me, is anyone else has a problem that the keyboard keep crashing when typing in Hebrew?
[Galaxy S II General] davemuir:
I haven't came across that Alarm bug, works fine for me. But whenever I've had force close errors (such as in Music), going into an app such as Titanium Backup and clearing all data for the app seems to sort things out. Try that for Clock/Alarm, see what happens.
[Galaxy S II General] surfacineden:
try using droid explorer..it worked most of the time..hope it helps :)

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

for recorded video playback, you might wanna use MX video player from the market..then switch to S/W decoder... :) hope tat helps..
[Galaxy S II General] jorgepedrero:
I want to share this cause i think is relevant

SORRY THAT U HAVE TO COPY/PASTE THE LINKS FOR THE IMAGES, BUT THIS IS JUST MY SECOND POST AND STILL CAN'T POST EXTERNAL LINKS

I had used original Samsung TW Rom, CM7 and CheckromHD4 before using CM9. I started with Build 12302011 and run to 04, 11, and 12. And TWELVE is awesome on battery!!

HOPE MY LIL EXPERIENCE WORKS FOR SOME OF YOU OUT THERE. HERE IT IS:

I have always had bad battery drain on my SG2. The longest it last was around 12 hrs with a normal use: 1:30 of total music play, checking g+, tweetdeck and facebook, reading posts on the browswer, some whatsapp and gtalk. Most of the time it last between 6 and 7 hrs. I tried juice defender and different task killers on CM7. I always used nightlies so I thought that was the reason.

On CheckromHD4 I left those apps and tried Battery Booster and Battery Calibration. And was when I got 3 or 4 more hours on the best days. But later I start having just 5 or 6 hours without using an app to "help" the battery. And I tried different kernels and SetCPU but wasn't enough.

After asking direct help on xda and checkrom, and following advises I test my cel during the night to check what was happening with battery. And here are the results.

ubuntuone.com/7Q5w1K31H0DWjz3yIFQ4EQ

ubuntuone.com/2eti5XtIKyDmUUYSLfGtZe :eek:

My SGS2 was awake all night! So I take the chance and flashed a beta CheckromHD and repeat the test ...

ubuntuone.com/3p68xDw4cnwgVWi250EUbU :confused:

Following more advises I install BetterBatteryStats and I discovered that some apps were keeping my cel awake the whole night. Specially on an app called GetJar. (if you have installed get rid of it right now, then keep reading :rolleyes: ... seriously)

ubuntuone.com/3AYpTeRbx9PjfqNtAvWAa5

ubuntuone.com/5Op5zpLxAIrj5fWrFY3RNa

With this and wanting to try 4.0 I decided to try again CM. Did a full full wipe and flashed it. I had some troubles at the beginning and need to flash 2 more times. And what happend? I got this result:

ubuntuone.com/2FUlAmdGZBi3wSWe2thEGP :(

I was so sad. I was thinking that something was really wrong with my battery, that it wasn't the software. Cause even that it's an Alfa that was to much for my soul and logic. However I decide to stayed on CM9 to know it, and meanwhile I was going to keep searching for a solution. So I kept updating.

And Build 01122012 happend to me! :D

I flashed it with KPA base kernel and after the second day ...

ubuntuone.com/0CeVcmXAF0L3Wog1qdvHRn

This Build is great. At least in the battery life. And at least for me. :)

I'm so sorry if this is too long. :o But I hope this help newbies like me, some others not so noobs, and that it could be useful to developers to know that something went quite right in this update.
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Wtf??

Ubuntuone.com.........where did u see this and what is it supposed to mean?
[Galaxy S II General] Putzy:
https://one.ubuntu.com/

It's personal storage for Ubuntu users. Nice to know that out of his entire post, you focus on his image host....
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Wtf is ur problem mate?

I just didn't get his post and especially why that bit was repeated a few times. What has it got to do with cm9...or his battery drain?? Its not very clear.
[Galaxy S II General] braso:
All the pics show is that Jorge is using his phone like a Nokia 6120 instead of a smartphone. May be 7% drain in 10 hours but he's only turned the screen on once!! That said, I have experienced good battery life with this ROM. 3-5 hours screen on time between charges is achieved quite easily.
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Ah so they're pics? Ahhh....

They didn't show as pics or links for me. Apologies Jorge
[Galaxy S II General] braso:
lol, screenshots of his phone info and battery usage stats to be more accurate.
[Galaxy S II General] Odiumvex:
Went back to KP9 where I don't have the random rild dying bug. But I can tell LP2 is smoothest UI wise, hopefully the next few leaks are uber.
[Galaxy S II General] fayezkhan555:
Now i delete the correct file and its reboot sounds good. But the problem is still there.

I am confused is only with me are to anyone else.

Whenever i try to open a video from youtuve s/w it haves error "there was a problem touch to retry" and same message after retrying.

And from web browser its shows only black screen not playing any video....

[Galaxy S II General] jorgepedrero:
Well... maybe I didn't explain myself so well but the fact I tried to explain is that even when I had my cel sleeping, no use at all, my battery was drain so bad in 3 different ROMs and 3 or 4 different kernels.

Is ok Kenny. I tried to add the images or links but was my second post, so xda didn't let do it so that's why I had to add links to be copy/paste to be seen.

PS: My battery still with 12% after 27hrs. I don't not if for everyone that is a good battery performance, but surely for me and for others is it.

:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] Hawlery:
Very rude? It was just a normal answer, he answered it straight forward.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
guys back to topic... new nightly building.
[Galaxy S II General] mavishow:
here was. between intensive work, best. what you get is more
[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:
Obviously ive looked!! This thread isnt 10 pages long you know.... ive disabled the sounds and that....
[Galaxy S II General] iamsachin:
In settings>Sound>System untick Touch Sounds and Screen lock sounds and give a reboot.

This will reduce the wakelock time greatly. I guess totally removing it is impossible

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

codeworkx is doing this project in his free time and charging no money from anyone. He is posed with 1000s of questions everyday. Most of them are repeated questions and are already answered or present in known issues. It's obvious that he'll get frustrated. Ask him a good question and he will answer very politely. He had been rude to my noobish questions too in December but he was very very polite at genuine and good questions.

Trust me coding is very frustrating work at times. Especially when Samsung ****s up the source and releases it for aftermarket enhancements.
[Galaxy S II General] leblvin:
cifs module

What is a cifs module? Any other modifications on kernel?

When I flashed the beta 3.0.27 I had absolutely no wakelocks. However, when it was included in the build, wakelocks came back. I'll be flashing it back and forth to make comparisons with 3.0.28.

Good job on UMS! I've seen a manual fix using adb to make the transfer faster, are there any modifications regarding that? Here's said fix :

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

echo /dev/block/vold/259:3 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c-sbgadget/gadget/lun0/file

Keep up the awesome work!
[Galaxy S II General] Sepharite:
I'm still on the April 4 build. Are the newer builds stable? I tried another build after 4th, and Wifi had trouble connecting so I restored back to April 4. Has that all been fixed? Everything on 4th is great except USB transfer is slow. Should I try flashing? :)
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
Best way to find out is reading the comments... :)
[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:
Trust me i appreciate the work thats done. I never tried a rebooot after unticking the sounds. Thanks though.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
I think it's not just the CM standard, it's the AOSP standard.

/sdcard/external_sd is Samsung brokenness any way you look at it though.
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Can it be aplied for the MTP as well? :S
[Galaxy S II General] donkeyhitman:
It's best that you try it yourself cause everybody have different set ups and therefore, will have different experiences. Exhibit #1, 0404 was my least favourite.
[Galaxy S II General] Sichroteph:
I tend to agree with some complaints about the camera, the pictures are kind of more noisy treated on low-to-medium light conditions. Actually ICS camera has a different post-processing algorythm to treat noise on relatively high ISO shots wich is more agressive.

This is not a place to complain for age on this because it is obviously irrelevant with the work done here.

Just for information to this SGSII CM9 community, I tried ICS camera on the market: It didn't improve the thing.

- However it fixed another flaw I had, centered pink pictures, so and keeping in mind that you can save your pictures on the SD-Card, I recommend to replace the stock camera with this modified one.

[Galaxy S II General] Reed-Sternberg:
Our concept of rudeness or politeness greatly depends on the culture we belong to. But in my experience, the more educated people are, the less they use foul language, even if they have every reason to do so. There's no pride in offending others, even if someone chooses not to be modest.

My suggestion is not no get personal and try to stick to the forum rules.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Even if the localizations for AOKP come from CM9, Codeworkx isn't the one doing the Romanian version, if you want to fix Romanian or any other language strings, look in the CM changelog/gerrit, find the people who are doing commits for your language, their emails are in the gerrit, email them and ask or ask them how you can help to do them, Codeworkx has more important things to do. His reply was blunt but it certainly wasn't rude and people should just let it go.
[Galaxy S II General] Frezzz:
Guys, I am using the 13/03/12 nightly build and I cant hear any audio output from the videos I played. Youtube and online videos wise have a clear audio output, any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
You say people should let it go but you have just contributed to the disagreement :/
[Galaxy S II General] armanderli:
I guess it is time to update...;)
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
Turn up the volume lol
[Galaxy S II General] JBL74:
Maybe you should update to latest nightly!
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Trying playing it with Mx Player and also if still no audio then set the audio track as S/W. That got to fix it.

You may also try downloading the arm7 and neon codecs from market for Mx Player.

@All I think he miss typed 4 as 3 lol.
[Galaxy S II General] Silent3sniper:
Catching up on my promise:

Seems like I was wrong, pictures taken with official Samsung rom and latest cm9 nightly. Stock settings and respective stock kernel.

Switch between tabs -->

CM9: http://i.imgur.com/f2Fjl.png

Samsung: http://i.imgur.com/kLFc2.png

Obviously this time it was better to be wrong (= same quality on both roms) so I'm happy with the results. :o
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
I'll tell you what the difference between stock and CM9 is.. CM9 loses focus after a few seconds. So if you take too long between touching to focus, and then actually clicking the pic, it will come out blurry..
[Galaxy S II General] ethanmars:
Hello guys, just a question. Whenever I enabled 3G data, the battery drains seriously fast. The battery stats shows the phone barely sleeps. The blue colour awake indicator in battery stats shows up almost continuous and constant. This is not the case when the phone is running 2G. Is this normal? And, the shortcut for 2G to 3G mode in status bar isn't functioning. Had to manually go into settings for that.

And maybe, in the known issues page, we should have WiFi Direct listed along with blue videos in video recording face effects mode.

Thanks. =)
[Galaxy S II General] Frezzz:
Just did, but still the same problem ):
[Galaxy S II General] cloak:
Improved GPS in next nightly?

Is seems the Sirf chip support in the next nightly will be improved

Change I089bde81: sirfgps: enabled sensor aiding, frequency aiding and emc feature.

Perhaps we do not need the GPSfix anymore?
[Galaxy S II General] JBL74:
My GPS works fine without GPS fix. Nice!!
[Galaxy S II General] Frezzz:
THANKS! I got it to work with MX player, but tried playing on the gallery or mvideoplayer but still no audio output, any way to change the default decoder to allow audio playback on my videos?
[Galaxy S II General] tulek:
Battery on today's nightly is awesome ;)

On a more serious sidenote. Touch seems to be another notch better. But perhaps my mind plays tricks on me.
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
You're not serious... are you? Please tell me you're not! :'''(
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
True. The awesome battery life was the first thing i've noticed after booting. :D

I've meant after booting my pc.

no it's not needed. had a fix in 6 seconds with 11/11 sats indoors. awesome! and and i'm not joking
[Galaxy S II General] tulek:
You saw the smiley, did you?
[Galaxy S II General] nightmw:
Hey, does anybody else have problems with the network mode toggle 2g/3g?

Didn't find anything about this in this thread. This seems to be a problem throughout all nightlies. Full wipe didn't help.

Thanks for answers in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
The battery actually is so awesome. o_O; I realised it when I saw the changelist in the latest nightly, 2 days ago. :D The GPS thingie made the battery better, for sure!
[Galaxy S II General] ethanmars:
Just said that in my previous post. too.
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
About the battery life of 0414...

After some intensive testing, investigating and comparison with some other ROMs and stock FW, i've noticed CM9 uses twice as much juice when using the phone underwater.

Can you fix this?
[Galaxy S II General] nightmw:
OK, so that's not my phone. I look into the code the coming days and hopefully can fix this.
[Galaxy S II General] iamsachin:
My BetterBatteryStats show "chuck norris" sleeplock...phone sleeps even when awake
[Galaxy S II General] BurlaMatto:
latest build works very well, and gps instantly locks ;)

thanks guys
[Galaxy S II General] GalaxyGusta:
oh codeworkx love you'r sarcasm :D
[Galaxy S II General] cyberon:
Hi everyone and especially Codeworkx.

Having a annoying issue since using CM9, when we touch the screen and move around a web page, if we stop and do not remove the finger from the screen the page flickers. This can also be seen playing Angry Birds Space, while targeting, the dots line never stops moving.

I have tried adjusting Touch sensitivity, but the issue remains.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
