Yup :rolleyes:

I9100G now has official nightly support. Next thing is people complaining they hard bricked their phones by flashing the I9100G firmware :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
At least those don't show up in http://get.cm/?device=galaxys2 but you know it'll happen.
[Galaxy S II General] nihraguk:
I have the same problem.
[Galaxy S II General] BAWS:
Hmm,

The latest nightly 03 seems to be 21.4% smaller in size, than 02.

A big cleanup or is there something missing in the latest build?

edit: my bad, didnt read the latest posts. this update is for CM7.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Look carefully at the file name, you'll find your answer. (hint: update-CM-?)

It was discussed right above your post, you didn't even need to search very hard.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Throw the calculator out & read the name of the download file. Its CM7 not CM9.

Edit: typo
[Galaxy S II General] sociojeje:
My font update zip sudden't doesn't work with the recent nightly... can anyone check my update script and tell me what's wrong with this? I can't find the reason....

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10565572/kcj-seoulfontpack.zip

this is the font update zip that I made... Please let me know!!
[Galaxy S II General] BAWS:
Maybe cm7 shouldnt be updated anymore.

CM7 Feels obsolete anyways.
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
is it really? In CM7 the SGS2 could pick up many more levels of light. I made a 10 level custom brightness thing and the SGS2 could pick up different levels of light...
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
They build it once a week for all supported devices, there are still a few devices with no ICS support and there are people who prefer CM7, all you have to do is look at the file name to see which version it is and this only happens on Sunday, why is this such an imposition?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Its an issue with the sensor drivers for the 3.0.y kernels, Samsung messed it up, there was a fix but it messed up other sensors instead, in this configuration the light sensor sucks but it 'works' in the other configuration the light sensor was better but the compass and accelerometer were totally broken, its one or the other until they can make sense of the driver that fixes the light sensor and breaks other stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
the limitation of the light sensor is what's the problem. The light sensor only picks up certain levels:

0 (or -1)

10

100

1000

10000

Whether you use lux auto brightness or the regular CM9 display section, your light sensor can only pick up those 5 levels. You can mess with the bins on CM9 and the default settings aren't great. Lux auto brightness has better brightness settings although its the same 5 bins.

So the reason why Lux auto brightness seems better is it ramps up the brightness better. At 10000 lux according to the light sensor, lux auto uses 91% brightness whereas the CM9 display site sets it at like 30% only.

You can easily adjust this in the CM9 display setting to get better outdoor brightness, but in the end you only get 5 levels of brightness.

This is different in CM7 and CM9.

I made 12 level auto brightness adjustments in CM7 and the light sensor was able to read a VARIETY of light values. CM9 just doesn't work.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Read what I wrote above.
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
gotcha... so hopefully samsung will fix this or we will at a future date? lol.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The fix was to use an open source driver, but the data being returned from sensors other than the light sensor didn't make sense (ie compass says things like -6.77759) so the compass was spinning around wildly in a circle, the main problem is since the driver is all or nothing they have to figure out what the sensor data means in order to make the other sensors work. I believe there is work ongoing on it, but based on what has been said in the dev thread its not a simple fix.
[Galaxy S II General] xlnxln:
hi, i have installed the latest build, but i realised the sound notification for unlocking the phone and tap screen sound is not heard even i set it on?

They should really make a different section in the downloads for the cm7 nightlies. I accidently flashed it...had to reflash back to cm9
[Galaxy S II General] madquack:
People need to READ! It's really not that complicated! Dumb people with "smart" phones.

HMMMM NEW ZIP I FLASH? YES OF COURSE...

FLASHING...

REBOOT...

IT's CM7 BOOTANIMATION? WTF THIS NO CM9???!!!!!??!!

Y U NO CM9???? CODEWORKX ALL UR FAULT WTFOMG GTFO!!!!!!

It clearly says "update-cm-7-20120603-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip" NOT CM9! Do you people just blindly flash the zip at the top of the page? Take a good moment to think about what you're doing, this isn't rocket science! Some days I'm amazed people have managed to root their phones without having a major catastrophe.
[Galaxy S II General] unease:
Got issues with phone not waking into charging animation when plugged in, in switched off mode. Just gets stuck at empty battery icon with loading circle. Running 20120602 , stock kernel. Anyone else with a similar issue and fix?

Update : Tried Siyah n NEAK kernels. Issue persists. Tried stock ICS rom, no issues.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
It's not the levels which makes it better, it's the speed at which it adjusts. Lux adjusts within 1-2 seconds while stock about 20-30 seconds and there was no way to speed that up.
[Galaxy S II General] rayz93:

I've had an Exchange account with encryption on my phone. Factory reset through CWM.

But, since then my internal Storage (the one with 11,9GB) is just gone! MicroSD is still visible and usable but the other one is not. Is there any way to restore that?

Should I factory reset from within Android or must I flash Sammy rom through ODIN to get my Storage back??

Battery with CM9

Currently one of the important limitations of CM9 nightly builds is battery life, compared to Smasung stock rom or even to CM7, correct?

This is because during inactivity there is still 3G/WIfi activity or so, I believe. Instead, if you have GPRS only you save battery and still have whatsapp notification and pussh email. Is that correct?

In any case, is there a general advice for an app to save battery (eg "Easy Bettery Saver") to use in conjunction with CM9 while the battery management is not improved?
[Galaxy S II General] quorn23:
Also you shall use the right threads ;) This here is for cm9 with stock kernel, not any custom kernels.

derp lol @ everyone is flashing cm7 updates over cm9. it's like the president in the simpsons movie "i was elected to lead not to read"
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
No problem with battery life here. The CM9 kernel is well optimised.
[Galaxy S II General] espalnds:
I thought I had read the opposite.
[Galaxy S II General] xatou:
How can I use mouse via USB otg with cm9?
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
You're kidding right?

Although I've never done it, we check a website daily for a new ROM and one "shows up" and the only thing different in the filename is one number? Its under standable this happens considering the layout of the website. Why is CM7 mixed in amongst CM9? They're totally different OS's... one is 2.3.6 and the other is 4.0.4. Oh yes that's right we aren't all as smart as you and your perfect world with your perfect friends who never make mistakes. We all have to be as smart as codeworkx... imagine that, 100,000 codeworkxs' runnin' around!

Guys, running 02/06 nightly. ive noticed a little thing. ive searched but either i dont know what search terms to search for, or it does not exist:

Basically when i rotate my phone, the screen rotates, however, it does not rotate back, unless i either go back to home screen or click back. it just goes to 90 degrees and whatever i do, it wont go back to straight again.

Thanks for helping
[Galaxy S II General] unease:

[Galaxy S II General] unfugor:
what theme are you using?
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
black infinitum

look in the theme section

this is my fav theme on cm9 so far
[Galaxy S II General] genivos:
Hm, he's not kidding as I see :D and I agree with him.

People who decided to flash a custom rom are smart enough to know whether they run CM7 or CM9. It's in the filename! The most simple thing, which anyone can do, is READ. You don't need to be codeworkx for that.

If you state that it's the fault of the site .. that people should be able to just click and download without reading .. I think that's not right. People who don't read before they flash a custom rom or kernel, should stay away from custom roms. Isn't it? Has nothing to do with being smart of dumb.

Anyways .. I think he was just trying to say: READ before you download and flash something. Of course anybody can make a mistake but this is one which could be easily avoided ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Hey everyone, from what I've been reading ICS kernel supports CPU steps from 25Mhz - 1600Mhz, namely: 1600, 1500, 1400, 1300, 1200, 1100, 1000, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 50, 25.

I was wondering if this is true for CM9 kernel (as I want to add 300/400) in my init.d script, or is it only for other kernels (like Siyah e.t.c.)?
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
There are no problems with battery lifetime.

If it's the case for you then it might be bad reception, bad apps which are bugging the phone constantly or simply wrong usage.

Check betterbatterystats for hints.
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
One different number, plus smaller size... and I guess people don't even bother checking md5 sums.... that's for *******... let's play with this overpriced phone!!!!

What are you doing?

Dunno... flashing **** and stuff.... great battery lifetime for the last 40 seconds!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Nothing wrong with the battery life. I'd say it's even better than stock.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you don't have to be smart to read 3 characters before downloading, you just have to be able to read. Is that too hard for you?

I think the issue is that they then come here and complain about it. I've downloaded the CM7 file several times, almost flashed it once, and if I did you can bet your life I wouldn't complain about my mistake here. Its a simple honest mistake, but if you make it you got to own up to it. If you come here acting like it's anyone's fault but your own, you're going to have a bad time.

Just my 2 cents

I've been using CM9 on one of my 3 phones for some time now. After flashing the last 2 builds I think we can safely say that we are getting really close to a stable version? What do you guys think? All that is missing for me is a built in task manager. Swiping apps doesn't always close them.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
ICS does good app managing by itself, there is no need to use any task managers.

If you really want to be able to kill apps, go into Settings - Developer Options - Enable Long Press Back to Kill App.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
I doubt there will be a task manager as it's not really needed. Either use long-press back button to kill app or put a short cut to running services on desktop to close anything stubborn.
[Galaxy S II General] lukepev:
Can anyone help or answer my question please?

Does C2DM work on CM9?

It stands for cloud 2 device messaging.

I am using an app called Chess Mates.

It uses C2DM for notifications to let you know when its your move.

It never notifies me though!

Is anyone able to confirm whether this is a CM9 bug? Maybe someone could test the Chess Mates app and see if it works for them or not.

Please reply directly to my post so I can check for replies.

Short pause

Guys,

I'm using CM9 since early March. Its was the best rom I've ever use for Galaxy S2.

The development was great that time.

But in the past few weeks it begining to happen a few problems. I was using the May 7th and decided do update to the May 30th. Altough there was a improvement in beauty, the rest is worse.

Anyway, I know that is because its in development stage, but in my opinion maybe put focus in getting a stable and with good battery life before advance stuff like tweaks in launcher and other things.

I decided to go back to stock rom, I know there is things tough, for CM9 users, but there is also stability and a good battery life.

After I back from travelling, I'll resume CM9 tests, but for now, a 24-day trip with little internet access, the stock rom its the best option.

And after, I'll buy the new Nexus with Android 5.0, no more Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] Kung-Fu-Tse:
not work, the same "old" one (not CID)

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
This post is fail. You posted it on 6/3/2012, but claim that the "latest nightly" is 5/31/2012.

The definition of NIGHTLY is that it is built every night unless there are technical difficulties. So there is NO WAY you were on the "latest" nightly.

5/31 was two days before the fix got merged.

And the CRT effect stuff was done by the core team, not any of the device maintainers.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Not merged. Yet. btw, this new cid boot animation from the video sucks. I think the old one is more friendly. Cid looks sooo mad. Fortunately, i'm using a simple blue android boot animation.

Angry phones are great! They make people scared of you. And if you like a skateboarder, just copy bootanimation.zip from the old ROM to your new ROM! :D

[Galaxy S II General] karendar:

[Galaxy S II General] :
I don't think so. The Android logo is so cute :) Cid scares the crap out of me. And I don't think that Cid looks good with the background. I already have a boot animation. Attached, test it. I like simple and unbranded stuff. No problem if Cid it gets merged, I really don't care :) But here's a alternative.

Modem

Hi,

When restoring a backup of CM7 coming from one of these CM9 builds is it alright to keep one of the latest modems (eg. LP1, KPA) or should I flash back to whichever latest modem was used in CM7 (KI4, i remember).

Basically, ive restored CM7 and KPA modem remains. So far I havent noticed any issues.

If anyone knows whats the best practice regarding modems when reverting to a backup to CM7, it would be much appreciated.

Thx
