I am having issues with home button. Some times it does not recognize the home button press. I will have to press again. I had the same issue with MIUI ICS ROM.

Any reported issues like this? Or can it be that this is caused by a rogue app? Please advice what can I do now.

I am using Mar 31 build and I noticed this issue since the samsung kernel was used. Not sure if this is a hardware issue with my phone :-(
[Galaxy S II General] 4qu4rius:
I aleardy use something like that, thanks, but that wasn't my point. Point is, removing UMS appears to us noobs/users/customers/whatever as a step back in useability.

Friends,

Finally using CM9 as my daily driver, with teamhacksung saving the day, once again, after the fiasco of official ROM (for me).

Anyway, at the risk of getting flamed, and with the blessing of OP, I wanted to appeal for help of great developers here, to make it possible to include the Quick Panel Settings app, thus replace the existing notifications ui. Been doing some experiments myself, but ended up completely deleting the notification bar. Help would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure there are others who would want to see it.

I know it was included in some other custom ICS roms floating around.
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
????

You can still use as many Widgets you want in notification bar. Why would you want quick settings panel for then?

regarding the gps ongoing problem

for me , gps did not work at first

but once i downloaded the agps data i got a fix in a few seconds on 6 sats

so , try to download a program like "gps status" . that will allow you to download the agps data from the internet ( the sattelites possition ) and the fix should be fixed or at least faster

hope it helps
[Galaxy S II General] albsat:
Uhh..i have so many suggestions to add but people will flame me. It is this desire of improving a good rom like cm9.

I envy a bit google nexus users. They should get bored having so many choices. But our time will come.
[Galaxy S II General] TecQuality:
yesterday i posted the gps patch for CM9, it's a .zip for CWM ;) search in the whole thread ... ;)

however i've a question: i there an option that allow us to kill all the apps that are running? i noticed that in the activity manager (long press home buttun) you can kill only one app each time not all like onto the stock roms.
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
System Tuner has a "kill all" button in the task manager which kills all running apps.

[Galaxy S II General] jcasares:
It's not... it's not used but support is still in the software as Google confirmed. It's up to the ones building a ROM for specific device to enable it for external storage.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/mg14z/whoa_whoa_ics_doesnt_support_usb_mass_storage/

Internal/System storage won't have UM on ICS. That's true.

Hi Orka82! Can you tell me which app you used in this screenshot for Battery information?

Is there some kind of way to fix the camera fps drop during video recording in low light on CM9 ? SCEF02 firmware here... ;/
[Galaxy S II General] AcmE85:
This is also on Gingerbread and Samsung Stock Roms. The cause is the cam-chip.

There are different types built, unfortunately you have the crappy one, same as me :/

Nothing there to fix this afaik...
[Galaxy S II General] edgarson:
Im gonna get my SGS2 to the service, but not now yet. You tried lgcamera ? For me it crashes when it tries to save the video in 720p or 1080p. Someone has the same issue ?
[Galaxy S II General] NoCommentMan:
If I had that problem, I would be happy. lol At the moment, my phone freezes while playing music. Got to 'hard' reboot the phone then. I already mentioned it earlier in this thread but it seems that only me has got that problem.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
For those who want to save their pics and videos on their external sd card download the new update of camera ics!! :)
[Galaxy S II General] D3_:
That's not just in CM9, it's the firmware itself.

If you don't use the flash at all (not just in the camera, but in torch apps etc) you can flash the SIEG03 firmware and that should fix the low light fps drops, but you won't have flash (flash will only work when you actually take a picture, not when focusing, recording video, or any other thing you might use the flash for)

All it will do is reduce your battery life and make your phone sluggish. If it was really helpful, AOSP would give it to you right away.
[Galaxy S II General] KS_Ho:
Ouchh, that doesn't sound too good..you tried clearing data for Music Player? Or try a clean install of the ROM again?

[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
It's funny that people think that killing processes is necessary... Android takes care of that. So use your phone and don't waste time killing processes.
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
Well, it DOES make sense to kill apps on devices with low RAM, such as the original SGS. However, I hardly see the need to do so on our phones, which are extremely smooth with several running background processes anyway...

I don't think you can say the cam-chip is crappy.

After testing some camera firmwares with better results, it seems to me to be more a software optimization problem.

google apps data freeze.

After Build 01062012 I have big problems with data sync and browser.

I tried full wipe, partial wipe, etc, I tried with all the radios, .... gapp fix, etc.

After flashing the rom and reboot the phone everything seems to be ok, but after some minutes gmail sync freezes, and I can't browse internet. (3g data is alive because I can still use ping to internet and 3rd part applications). It seems that all the Google apps and services go down and the only solution is to reboot the phone. This happens me only with builds after. 01062012 . If I use Wifi everything seems to be also OK.

Haver you experience something similar?

I have to be on Build 01062012 because it works perfect.

It has changed - It was most obvious when doing a nandroid backup or restore, the android's shiny dome had a very banded gradient before, it doesn't now.

Hey I have a couple of issues,

Firstly with ICS 03-30 the camera was streched, and it started making a buzzing noise... weird!!!

Battery drains super fast aswell...

Apart from that its awesome THANKS !
[Galaxy S II General] Orka82:
Facebook sync does not work in ICS from what i know.

Use HaxSync or something.
[Galaxy S II General] evolutiontheory:
Use Facebook sync application from market. It is free and better than default Facebook application..:)
[Galaxy S II General] Orka82:
I have tried several different apps and HaxSync is by far the best in my opinion. :)

I wanted to be able to connect phonebook contacts with specific facebook contacts and if the name was different the other tools did not allow me to choose.

Maybe this does the same? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync

I did not try to connect contacts using that one. I'm sure it works.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Mass Storage is old and not as good as MTP in some cases. Obviously our current implementation is not perfect. MTP shouldn't be having issues reading folders and or files as it currently does.

The main benefit of MTP however is that your PC and the Phone can read the storage at the same time. UMS - only 1 at a time. As it is now, i can add songs to my phone via MTP and they show up instantly in the media player. That way i can check also if the ID3 tags are set right. Also you should be able to install widgets having apps to the SDCard since plugging in the phone as it wont kill them as it does with UMS!
[Galaxy S II General] DreddJudge:

[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
I understand the rationale behind NOT killing processes... Some processes are important and will start up by themselves anyway, reducing battery life.

However, I have encountered several situations when my phone gets hot and refuses to charge (indicating a high level of CPU) and this doesn't go again even when I manually close all my open applications (by holding the home button and swiping away all apps). The only solution is to reboot.

I wonder what's the cause behind this?
[Galaxy S II General] slashvanyoung:
On the 0330 build, streaming paid-for video content finally worked for me. On 0401, it's broken again.

go to ziyah kernel thread

as codeworkx allready stated any comment about 9 is useless if you change the kernel

imo wait till we got a stable and then change kernel because now any bug u have could never been tracked down and you can't support the devs with system infos or logs
[Galaxy S II General] brenogbi:
Does this rom make videocall using phone.apk? O really need this, it will be a good sugestion to add to this rom....

[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
This could be a result of not having a dependent process open so it gets into a race condition where one other process just loops itself waiting for other process to respond but since you didn't need it you killed it and now the main process goes nuts.

FYI- Swiping away recent apps doesn't close them, it only lets the system know they aren't needed anymore and it will put them on the priority shutdown list if it needs more RAM.

[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
If you kill process, android restarts processes and take time to go in deep sleep which causes battery drain
[Galaxy S II General] evolutiontheory:
Yes. This was the one I was referring to. Great application. Free too
[Galaxy S II General] Okur90:
Yes but isn't that better than the killed process keeping the phone awake for 3 hours? For hoe long does that restart prevent the phone from going into deep sleep?
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
I agree that those apps use more battery than save, but some processes do need beeing killed, for instance MEDIA, I use apps from settings to kill it every time I flash CM9
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Don't know much detail(maybe someone can tell that how much time it takes)

Restarting processes causes the processor to go at higher clock
[Galaxy S II General] 4qu4rius:
You're perfectly right. There are many advantages to this decision. And I really applaud it.

But as I don't have admin access to my work laptop, I can't use MTP on it, whereas I could use UMS. I'm sure there are other use cases like this one, but that's the one bothering me. So I'm left with PTP, which is ok, I guess since I then can move around files with Astro, but certainly not as convenient.

By the way, [incoming noob question], I should be able to mount my 8Gb SD card as either UMS or PTP or MTP, but for some reason, I can't seem to do that. What's the trick ?

[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
why on gods name you want to do that? the rom is flying as it is already. if you overclock your phone mate you will end up flying with it.:D

serious note though sometimes overclocking is not recommended. anyway download latest siyah kernel and use voltage control and you can overclock. that said though if you want support look for it in the kernel thread as cm9 supports only the kernel that comes with the build:)
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
UMS is simply a group policy setting at work which allows domain users to use USB Mass Storage devices. Obviously when you plug in a device it installs it so this policy gives you "admin" privaleges to install those. Your admin would just need to set the policy for MTP as well (which i'm not sure exists in 2003 and older servers - so your domain would need to be running Windows Server 2008 or higher).

You are using hacked UMS or something right? Maybe that doesn't support external SD cards? Dunno, on my Windows 7 system, I mount both internal and external storage via MTP but obviously i had Admin access to install the phone's MTP service.

Hi All :)

I have a question and please forgive me if it's a repeated question :)

I have both Galaxy S II and Note both of them are running CM9 1st of april and Imika roms respectively ,, I found that the charging time of my galaxy S II is really long ( slow charging ) while the charging is normal ( even faster ) on my Galaxy Note ??

So any reason behind that provided that I'm using 2000 mAh battery ?!

P.S. the latest rom is really so buttery smooth and really fast :) thanx for the great rom.

Thanks for the reply. No my admin policies won't change :) but thanks anyway.

I didn't explain that very well :( On CM7, both /sdcard and /emmc were available as mass storage. so on ICS, I expected /emmc to still work via UMS natively through the usual notification. It seems I was wrong. That's ok :)

ok - quick and probably a stupid question - is there any way to connect SGSII running CM9 to a Playstation 3 console?
