"I tried 4 different modems" is useless... WHICH modems did you try? FULL build identifiers, people need to stop leaving out the damn region code, it's important with ICS. Ideally, try to find out when they were released too. (This used to be obvious from the build code, but not with ICS since they replaced the month code with P and then Q when P ran out of sequence numbers.)

My current guess is - newer modems have some compatibility issue. No one was complaining about RIL issues until recently.

I can't provide suggestions as I have I777 (modem is one of the few differences) and N7000, but on I777 I'm still running UCKH7 (yes, the first modem release from last year - later AT&T modems suck ass in terms of battery life) and N7000 I'm running XXLB2.

Nothing, it's not used in any way, shape, or form. You could zero it out and nothing would happen.

[Galaxy S II General] :
codeworkx uses XXLPS as modem [at least on screenshots], and I don't think he has any RIL problems. I stick with "carrier/location" problems with the modem, since some people have and some other don't.

And Entropy, I want to merge other kernel's source with CM initramfs+recovery, can I just replace CM kernel source with the other kernel to compile the whole CM9? I've asked the question before, but no luck.

I have used and had the issue with the following modems.

DXLP9

NELP2

NELP4

XXLPS

I used getRIL to check what RIL binaries CM9 is shipping and it recommended XXLPW or UHLPE, I tried XXLPW and found the download speed to be.. awful, 20Kbps, and then tried UHLPE, good download (not the best though) and so far no network issues.

I do have logcats of the radio and in general that cover when the drop happened, if you want I can attach them again.

1st of all you are using a non stock kernel, thus unsupported in this thread, how do I know you are not on stick CM9, because thats a feature of Siyah, do you read the feature list of things before flashing? :/
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The time it takes was extended on purpose, as I said before it's not for closing apps that are working correctly, it's for devs to use to stop apps that are frozen or otherwise stuck and in that case having to wait a little longer isn't a big problem.

Inline kernel building requires some changes. Also, some of the alternate kernels are so badly hacked up to support multiple targets that getting them to build sanely from a kernel build tree would be a mess.
[Galaxy S II General] HippyTed:
That's my impression too. The contents of my mmcblk0p6 certainly havnt changed since

I started flashing CM-9. But there is an old boot.img in it that unpacks to an old recovery.

I guess from an old CWMR.

But anyway, why doesnt CWM use it now? Its unused space, like mmcblk0p12 is too.

[Galaxy S II General] c3l5o:
The only thing I like from AOKP is the switches instead of the icons in the notification panel.

I think the default CM icons look out of place with the ICS philosophy.

That said, I prefer vanilla CM9 over anything else, so I've kind of learned to live without them. :D

I'm running latest LQ5 radio since release and everything is working fine, no wakelocks, fair signal strenght.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
It's only 8 MB or so, so it's not worth the hassle of trying to figure out a way to use it.
[Galaxy S II General] cobhc:
Excuse my ignorance, but isn't CWMR less than 2mb anyway? Or does the recovery partition have to house other things apart from the actual recovery?
[Galaxy S II General] :
I think that those 8MB already include kernel+recovery. As far as I'm seeing, there's no exclusive partition to recovery, so it's already on the kernel partition.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
It has to be a complete kernel and recovery image. Right now, the combined initramfs for both normal ops and recovery fits into the main kernel partition. There is nothing we can use the second partition for. To have separate kernel and recovery partitions actually do something, the bootloader would need to be completely rewritten - but since the chain of trust extends to the SBL as far as I can tell, that's not going to happen. (The CPU is "locked" to only load signed IBLs, which only loads signed PBLs, which only loads signed SBLs, which will right now boot anything.)
[Galaxy S II General] kerempek:
I installed Gappd but i can't find google maps.I can't find it in Google Play too.

isn't it working with CM9 ?
[Galaxy S II General] HippyTed:
Yup, as Entropy512 said earlier, we do have a recovery partition, but its not used. I guess its because CWM has to fit into other devices in CM that do not have one.

Now what about mmcblk0p12 then, thats 0.5GBytes.

Can we extend the sdcard partition back into that space and gain an extra half gig?

CyanogenMod 1hour ago · Desktop · Public Flavor #42 - CM

For those of you who don't normally check our gerrit, the CM JellyBean source just got a bit sweeter as we merged the first chunk of CM features in.

The preview builds released thus far were fairly close to AOSP base features. Time for that to change

The linked commit includes: - Power menu Reboot - Power menu screenshot - Profiles - Lock screen Calendar - Lock screen Weather - Notification light customization - Battery light customization - IME Selector notification toggle - and a few more things to support Settings

This is the first set of many features that will make their way into source, slowly bringing CM10 up to feature parity with CM9, then surpassing it...

[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Hi guys! I'm back again :fingers-crossed: Missed something interesting? I wondered about something today at the bus... We say for example One X, is it possible to just pull the drivers/binaries out from the Nexus 7 for the Tegra 3 and put them into the One X. Shouldn't that be possible since the drivers for the Nexus 7 already are optimized for AOSP and put into CM9? If so, why are the devs hating the Tegra 3 when the drivers are ready for you?

Another Q, are the drivers, say for the Tegra 3's "sub-components" (radio, cpu, gpu and other things that can or is put into the SoC) separate or in one big closed package?

What about that JB .gif up there? What is it and why is it here?

Unlikely to really change anything, as far as I remember from hearing xplodwild talking about making a 3.4.x kernel, the stuff with the framebuffer changed a lot, making forward porting the gpu drivers a nightmare, and that some stuff would have to be rewritten/reverse engineered.

So, unless samsung puts out a 3.5 kernel (bwaahahaha, even google didn't move from 3.0.x for JB) nothing is likely to change.

Well said. You COULD get an extra 500MB with a PIT hack - but the risk is not worth it.

As to stuff that is in mainline 3.5 - may already be in our kernel. Seriously - The Exynos-specific support in even this device's Gingerbread kernel source was WAY ahead of what's in mainline even today.

You are right. I have my own performance test. Is using the Android easter egg by tapping Android version 3 times and holding the Android to show nyan cat animation. When the animation starts, check out if it lags a bit [for 3 seconds]. If it doesn't lag at all [not even in the first 3 seconds], your kernel is pretty awesome. If it does lag for 3 seconds [after that it runs pretty smooth], your kernel may be good, but not as awesome than the other ;) It lags some seconds to me using stock CM kernel, but doesn't lag [nothing at all] using Fluxi XX.02b5. Using neak it lags the whole time, using Siyah, the same as CM, using thoravukk I don't remember, DK lags like Siyah.
[Galaxy S II General] hospital349:
It doesn't lag at all with N.E.A.K. 2.1x. Just tested it with extreme underclocking and undervolting. The animation is silky smooth, with zero lag during, before and after.

[Galaxy S II General] :
What did I just said? It's mine performance test, mine. It can work good for you, and can work bad for me ;) For me, it shows something close to the reality, if the kernel is good or bad. Everyone has a performance test, can be scrolling on the launcher, settings, whatever, mine is with the animation.

Neak did not run very well in my test, but I saw good response like on CM kernel

btw, by very smooth I mean at 60FPS ;) I'm going to test Siyah/Neak/thoravukk again, maybe it's different to what I said, new version... By lagging a bit I mean just at the very start of the animation, but after 3 seconds it's 60FPS smooth.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
To each his own. I judge mine by how smooth everything runs with a ram heavy launcher like golauncherex. It's a great launcher IMHO & its the only one I use but it just too heavy on the ram. Do you have an app that overlays the FPS or is it all just estimations?
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Ok, It somehow magically worked. :rolleyes:

Sent from my Galaxy S2 powered by CM9
[Galaxy S II General] :
I don't judge how smooth something is just by doing this animation test. Of course I test other stuff.

I don't have any app to overlay FPS, it is actually just other way to say pretty smooth. Most of the movies you download on avi are all on 23FPS, this is most likely the way it "lags on the first 3 seconds". Now check out a 30FPS video. Big difference, now that's the way it is after the 3seconds or everytime, not lagging those 3 first seconds.

Edit: check out this video ;) shows what is 60FPS most likely. No big really visible difference on 30 to 60. http://www.solidfiles.com/d/a369a/

[Galaxy S II General] Gandhi70:
Hello Guys,

I have been using a modified stock rom for some time and was a bit unsatisfied with the ICS 4.0.3 performance.

So i flashed the latest CM9 nightly yesterday (first flashed the CM9 resurrection edition via odin, than latest nightly and gapps via CWM) and so far I am much happier with my mobiles performance.

But (always a but, isn't there?) I have one small problem. I like to watch movies on my mobile (lots of train rides) and as a movie player I have been using MX player.

On my CM9 installation MX player is not able to use hardware decoding. If hardware decoding is enabled the video plays for a split second and than playback stops.

After that I tried BS player. Here hardware decoding works if I use BS players internal hardware decoding. When I switch to system hardware decoding the same thing happens as with BS players hardware decoding.

Has anybody here an idea how I can get video hardware decoding working with MX player?
