[Galaxy S II General] jayerfernandes:
I've noticed something funny happening to my phone whenever I enable "Use Custom Light levels" under Automatic backlight in Display Settings on the May 2nd and 3rd nighlies.

I use a pattern lockscreen with a sleep setting of 30 secs. Whenever I enable the custom backlight and I press the power button, the lockscreen shows up with the CRT on effect and then goes back to a black screen almost instantly. Reboots, Wiping cache and data and reflashing dont solve the problem.

In an extremely random way, i get access to the lockscreen long enough to disable the custom backlight settings, by then my battery would be down to 12% from 50%.

Would it be possible to do a logcat in this scenario and try to figure out what's happening?
[Galaxy S II General] californicated:
Does ist still have high battery drain?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Of course it does, it holds a wake lock, it's impossible to use any BLN type app on the SGS2 without a wake lock. Wake lock = no deep sleep = terrible battery drain, plain and simple.
[Galaxy S II General] hery2002:
No, I follow your instructions.

No, I did follow your instructions on teamhacksung.org, but the same error has been encountered, I also tried your mentioned above, . build/envsetup.sh && lunch cm_galaxys2-userdebug && brunch cm_galaxys2-userdebug , but failed. Sounds strange.:confused: the same error.
[Galaxy S II General] californicated:
Thank you for the explanation :)

Another question concerning CM9. Is anyone else experiencing the sms/mms app being laggy when scrolling the thread list?
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
The trick with NoLED is to use the small icons, avoid adding time display and so on and limit the notification time-out to 5 or 15 minutes. That way, the screen consumes a very small amount of power and the wakelock releases after the time out.

Yeah, very good one. Used "file manager" and "ES file explorer" before, but this one is the best.

No, it is just a rename of an if, as this is needed on non-yamaha phones as well.

This is "just" a move of some files from the initramfs to the system image.

This ensures that the correct mfc_fw.bin will be used, and supposedly that DSPManager will work.

Issue was that the initramfs overwrote the contents of the system with the wrong content.

1. In Apex Pro launcher you can create app groups in tabs in app drawer. Unfortunately it is a paid application You can try some other launcher.

2. Contacts only with telephone numbers are seen on the 3 tab in telephone.

3. Hax Sync from Play Store gives you big photos from Facebook. There is also another app that block synchronising of the photos with google what shrinks them - that's usable if you have set your own photos for your contacts.

Well DSPManager still doesn't work on the latest nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] lazer.74:
DSP Manager working fine on last build! :cool:

Thanks a lot devs, much appreciated ;)
[Galaxy S II General] tosheeba:
Hi guys,

In the latest nightly my compass is still jumping around a bit when the mobile is completely still.

Anyone has any tips on how I can solve this issue? Since the sensors were reverted a couple of nightlies back, I don't know why I'm still facing this.

Thanks in advance for any tips and pointers you guys may have.
[Galaxy S II General] FordT:
Hi,

I just made a complete reset, and I can tell you that the compass is very stable. There might of course be outside factors (magnet fields from motors, electric currents etc.) that have an influence... or it is just the world rotating ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] nitinvaid:

What about Galaxy Nexus, what kind of chip does it have?
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
TI TWL6040.
[Galaxy S II General] GuestK00150:
he, he, I was waiting for another conversation about file managers to bring this one in :p

http://www.ghisler.com/android.htm

Total Commander for android is by far the best file manager I´ve tried. Been using it for quite a while now. I has root, a two column view where you can switch from left to right, plugins for ftp and smb, support for bluetooth and usb, it`s quick and has nearly all features I can think about. Using it is quick an fun when you get used to it... And it`s free. Go there and try. If you like it, support that guy, I love it :D

EDIT: Perhaps the devs can talk to this developer and make it a part of cm, would be a great lift!
[Galaxy S II General] saar17:
Ever since i've upgrade to 02052012 the touch sounds doesn't works.

[Galaxy S II General] blinde:
Okay, thanks for this. Which other phones use this chip? Is it better than SII's chip?
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
No phones AFAIK. The Playbook uses it though. According to the GN forum, it is far better than the SGS2.

Hi guys,

Urgent help required...think I've bricked my phone.

It went for repair to Orange Repair Centre for broken USB...

Come back with official orange software on...

So went to install ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 via : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118693

This installed fine with ODIN but I can't get in to recovery, just hangs at the boot up screen....

So tried installing the ODIN NOOB method instead:

Using the noob-proof ODIN method:

- Download CM9 Resurrection Edition

- Download GApps and put it onto your internal sdcard

- Open Odin

- Choose cm-9-XXXXXXXX-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.md5 as PDA

Basically it fails everytime I try and flash using ODIN....then I tried reflashing the original ICS Orange software and that now fails!!!

[Galaxy S II General] arhanghel92:
So is there any way to fix it? I remember that in April it was working great. Can't remember which nightly was..
[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
I havn't got a bootloader to put on it I don't think....

I was flashing the following from Orange....which was the same it came back with LPB....

I9100BVLPB_I9100ORALPB_I9100BVLPB_HOME.tar.md5

Why can't I get in to recovery tho!

Im worried now.... any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
Go to my recovery guide, and grab the XXLPH 3 file package. If that doesn't work, just follow the rest of the steps :)
[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
Basically do this: ICS VERSION

1) You have to know the basics of ODIN and flashing (duh )

2) Just to be safe, please uninstall Samsung KIES. It usually interferes when flashing with ODIN. You must have the USB drivers from your phone, so don't uninstall them. Only uninstall the program KIES.

Just in case you don't have them, here are the Samsung USB drivers

3) Download ODIN, the tool that we'll use to flash all the things into our beloved Galaxy S II

4) Download the necessary files : the Recovery Package/ROM [THIS PACKAGE ALREADY INCLUDES THE BOOTLOADER] (password is samfirmware.com) and the Kernel.

5) You must have WinRAR to unRAR the Recovery Package and to unzip ODIN.

You can also use 7zip, as sugested by jermitano

Do I need the KERNEL as well above you mentione???
[Galaxy S II General] schaze:
Hi, I just also tested it and can confirm it is not working with CM9. I searched the thread and this has also been asked and answered several times in the past. I could however not find any comments about the plan to get this actually working or not.

@codeworkx: is this audio output via USB in scope for CM9 for the SGS2 - not asking for an ETA or smth just want to know if you guys plan to actually make this work sometime, or also if you see a general problem in implementing it? I guess this topic is partly related to the TV-Out function or is there another seperate audio out mode aside from MHL?

If you find the time I'd be happy to get some infos about this topic.

So long and thanks for all the fish...

Are CM9 closer of a RC version?

By the way, best Rom off all androids, by far.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Umm 16:9 images always cut off the top and bottom when compared to 4:3. Samething in the movies too. It's not just a wider 4:3 to get 16:9 hence why 4:3 LCD monitors in general always have higher vertical resolution. 1600 x 1200 vs 1920 x 1080.

I guess someone gave Cyanogen a nudge as he woke up this morning pressing Verified on everything. LOL That changelog has a few things i'm waiitng for, still need some more but going good so far! Keep pressing Steve!!
[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
Well shoot, another almost hard bricked case...

Try flashing the kernel, then the bootloader (all separate), then the recovery package. If that doesn't work, try flashing the bootloader with the recovery package with the .PIT w/ repartition.
[Galaxy S II General] njwest:
When the dpi is set to 180, the little circle at the bottom of the notification drawer is offset to the side by a small amount. It's just annoying, but I can't really get a logcat for it.

Not supported and therefore not an issue :D - Should be an easy fix though.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
There no .pit file?

I downloaded the kernel seperatly...ahhhh that goes in PDA on own....trying that now but ODIN has crashed!

i put:

9100_APBOOT_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in BOOTLOADER

\I9100_CODE_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in PDA

MODEM_I9100XXLPH_REV_02_CL1104396.tar.md5 in PHONE

GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXALPH.tar.md5 in CSC

There is no PIT file?

Am i doing anything wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
You should never need to partition, no PIT files!
[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
Well any more suggestions....

Flashing just the KERNEL Kernel_I9100XXLPH.tar.MD5 in PDA just crashes ODIN, just stops responding...

How long should it take?

[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
RC is a feature complete build, not yet fully tested, and it's close to a release build. Before the RC, there has to be some alpha and beta builds, maybe a code-freeze period, CM9 is still pre-alpha, still not feature complete (some functionality is still missing, like video calls, fm radio, wifi direct etc). So, not yet that close to RC :) But, the way things are working out, shouldn't take that long till a RC build is out. Great work CM9 - SGS2 team!

That's the same as flashing the APBOOT file in ODIN... The APBOOT is a single bootloader file, so that won't help since it's pretty much the same procedure.

[Galaxy S II General] dt0:
Yes, it plays it better, still not perfect though.

I think it is a codec issue. Too bad I can't test this on the original samsung firmware, but I think our device is capable of playing this.
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
Well, my notebook (dual core 2.1GHz) also doesn't play it very well.

What's the point in playing a 1920 X 1080 movie on a 800 X 480 screen anyway?

I have a phone dedicated movie collection, which i have rendered in the native resolution of the screen.

It looks much sharper and uses less resources.
[Galaxy S II General] chtitlou:
Ok, for those who encounter issues with bluetooth pairing, espacially about PIN code, I found a solution.

This problem may finally be kernel related. Indeed, wiimotes do not require any PIN numbers to connect. Apparently, the kernel forces to ask for it, leading to an error message. I use Wiimote Controller, and tried several times with automatic detection, then with manual connection, by entering the mac adress of the wiimote in the settings (found using Bluetooth Adress Finder on the market), but nothing changed. Then I flashed Siyah v3.2b7 kernel and the pop-up asking the PIN code disappeared, and everything worked fine... But now when I remove manual connection, the pop-up appears again...

So manual connection seems to be necessary, and changing to Siyah would solve the issue if not working with stock kernel.

I don't know precisely where it comes from, but it might be an issue for any other kind of bluetooth devices. What is the difference in bluetooth between stock and Siyah kernels ?
[Galaxy S II General] rlorange:
Yes using Siyah kernel and extweaks app
[Galaxy S II General] dt0:
The point is not having to re-encode your stuff. Besides, our device is capable of HDMI output to a full HD 1080p televisions. Enough of a reason?

Edit: I also have a Dual Core 2.1GHz notebook playing this file just fine. With or without GPU decoding. So check your settings and software.

I was just worried because the OP specifically mentioned ICS bootloaders in red.

I think it should just read bootloaders "lower than XXLPH" in the OP ,so as to avoid confusion.

By the way if I stay on GB bootloaders and flash nightly via CWM directly ,I can still restore GB nandroid backup from cm9 right?
