Its one of those things where if you give people a lot of options (some of which might damage their device if used incorrectly) then you're asking for those people to come in the thread and complain when they somehow brick their device by using those features, by staying relatively close to stock, the CM folks avoid those issues and the need to support thousands of niche kernel features.

Nightly 21/07

First boot of 21/07 happening now, and only 76 applications - instead of the roughly 150 that I had installed - are being "optimised". I didn't flash GApps. So at the very least, do so if you are going to try this nightly.

[EDIT] But all the apps are there. Odd - only some were optimised. First time I've seen this, sorry for the over-reaction![/EDIT]

Hi

Is there (in this ROM) option for encryption SD memory card like "Settings" -> "Security" -> "Encrypt Device" and "Encrypt SD Card" ?

I want to encrypt my SD card (from sgs2).

Encryption method must be a password like in Nokia's mobile phones.

I want to secure my SD card when someone will try to remove my SD card from my SGS2 and connect it to him/her phone or other device.

I chanced upon this a few days ago on the CyanogenMod bugtracker and they say that the "The external card isn't encryptable, only the internal is"

I'm not allowed yet to post external links, just do a search on the CM bugtracker for issue 5519 titled "Exchange + encryption = no SD card access for applications" for more info. Comment no. 5 has the external SC Card encryption remark.

Just used the "backup" link so it backs up to the microSD card (32GB with 10GB free space)

Did you try using GPS Status or a similar program? You can clear all cached GPS data (cold start), download new data, etc. Always worked for me when not getting a GPS lock.
[Galaxy S II General] Talminator:
Just a quick question which hopefully someone can help me with.

I live in an area in the countryside with pretty crap signal all around, so I generally expect to lose connection roughly once every 15-20 minutes. However, every time I lose connection and the "no connection" notification pops up, the phone vibrates as if I've just received a text. I don't mind the notification being there telling me that I have no connection,. but I hate the fact it vibrates when that notification appears as roughly every 15 minutes or so, I think I have a text but then when I check, all that's happened is I've lost connection to T-Mobile briefly.

So my question is this: is there any way to disable vibration when this notification appears, so I don't keep on thinking I'm more popular than I actually am with false text alerts on my phone? ;) thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
Hello,

I have fixed the GPS problem by using "GPS Status & Toolbox" AGPS reset and redownload. Than going out of the house and waiting for a fix - took more than one minute. But now it seems to be in sync, decent fix and 6 sattelites, thus working again. Still I need to test it while moving...

Regarding the modems - I've gone back to XXLPS - even if there's a potential chance of a RIL crash (happened only once to me with LPS - much more often with LPX).

Still better than with the others I've tried - especially the new LQ5&6 ones from 4.0.4 stock - they've been terrible in my case - impossible to get a stable data connection.
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
Edit: made same procedure here and all working ;)
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
I raised this earlier today....

There is something in recent builds that affects GPS lock. It now takes 1-3 minutes to get a cold start lock. Rather than 5-20 secs a few builds ago.
[Galaxy S II General] $wissdroid:
Knows someone of you an alternative Contact.apk for CM9?

These One from StockRom 4.0.3 logically don't work.
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
That is no use - not locked. That's the problem.

Needs to look like this, with a lock indicated. Otherwise, nothing works... (this took 6 minutes!!!!!)
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
Yeah, now it´s working, after made an agps reset and transfer agps. and took about 6 minutes here too.

Anyone with freezings with the unlock after to wake up the screen from deep sleep? Could be related to the param:

This happens me with the stock kernel as well as fluxi.

Thanks for the responses. Judging by the majority it is fine to flash CM9 without the need to flash resurrection edition if already on ICS.

[Galaxy S II General] g3ckospy:
You can download go contacts on play store if you like..
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
That depends on what bootloader version you have. Since it isn't possible to know that, simply flash cm9 from cwm, and if you get stuck on bootloop, that means you need to flash resurrection edition. Hope that sounds easy ;)
[Galaxy S II General] $wissdroid:
Ok thanks :)

But this works only with Go Launcher Right?

And i search a Contact APK they dont show Pictures on List.

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
People flash, then reboot then say "OMG bad battery" forgetting that during the boot cycle a lot of one time processes run (mediascanner, repopulating cache, play store update checker, etc) that tend to run the CPU hard for a bit and burn a little extra battery.

True story
[Galaxy S II General] AleRock94:
On the 21/07 nightly and on the previous ones (I don't know where this bug started to occur) "surface dithering" doesn't work and I'm sure that it worked some months ago, using either stock CM9 kernel or Dorimanx's one.

I try to disable the feature, reboot and then re-enable it, but it doesn't want to work! So I always notice a ugly gradient everywhere...

Help me please, that's one of the killer-features which keep me using CM9! :/

P.s.: I tried to search on Google and here on XDA, but I've found almost nothing that could help me.
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Thanks for that, the lock time has improved this evening (without intervention) albeit very variable, though my wife's WP7 Omnia and my Nissan Connect appear to have been completely unaffected today. I didn't end up in a ditch either...!
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Well, solar radiation from storms is somewhat sporadic and random, it's also possible that the GS2 has a weaker GPS antenna overall so is more prone to being affected, there are many possibilities, but since I can't see any actual changes to how the GPS works in the CM9 gits, I'm guessing that the solar storms may be to blame.
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
I suspect the signal quality is affected more than the strength, which theory is borne out by the screenshot from an hour ago - 12 satellites, so signal received but poor data integrity and thus no lock (this screen can be like this for minutes on end, or not). When locked I only get 4 locked targets max. as of today.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yeah, solar storms would add a lot of noise to the signal, I did manage to get a lock today on my SII but it took for ever and it wasn't a very good lock like 35m accuracy. Even the very expensive Garmin that I use for geocaching and hiking is having troubles today and that thing locks like a champ generally.
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Without overly perpetuating, for interest, the sun has set here, so any propagated/radiated effects would be lessened now. Locks are sub 10 seconds.
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:

btw today gps locked only 4 satellite even if there is 10 or 8 on view but not a big deal :o
[Galaxy S II General] JacquesR:
Is that a dev?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Its possible that the antennas are in different places so the way he was holding it was blocking the SII antenna and not the iPhone, or the SIIs antenna is just weaker or more prone to picking up solar interference, there are too many variables involved here to be sure that it's ROM related and not environment related especially since nothing in the ROM has changed in the last few days with relation to the GPS.

Hi, I've downloaded BBS and it's basically Chinese for me.

Does anyone know what is AudioOut_1?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
AudioOut_1 is anything that plays audio via the speakers or headphones, the most likely culprit is screen lock sound holds a wake lock for a few seconds every time you turn the screen off.

[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:

Its only a 45s wakelock. Doubt that would cause any battery drain.

[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Fresh installation of Shazam after a full wipe. I get the error message "Cannot establish connection."

I've tried this on AT&T HSPA+, wifi at work, home, my gf's. THis has been an issue since CM9 in June when I wiped my phone. I've done more wipes recently too. Would Siyah be a problem? Perhaps there's some residue crap on my SD card? I'm not sure.
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:

[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Working fine for me. Am on latest nightly and disabled fb connection. Dunno what's the problem from your side....
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Well your shot from BBS shows a total of 3 mins time and the AudioOut_1 lock was for 45 seconds, so that's going to be a huge percentage, but a 3 minute time period is not an accurate enough snapshot of how your phone drains to make any real determination so i took a stab at what might have happened in those 3 minutes. AudioOut_1 also holds a wake lock if you listen to music or any other type of audio even with the screen off.
[Galaxy S II General] apollero:
Not sure if this is a problem, but google play music sync option was removed from my accounts settings, so I just cleared data and re-entered my info. Although I am from Canada and installed it using a .apk

I'm running "9-20120711-NIGHTLY-galaxys2" and Siyah v3.4.1. Haven't done a full-wipe since May/June, I think.

[Galaxy S II General] rav4kar:

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
There's a strong possibility that something like this is to blame based on the evidence at hand.
[Galaxy S II General] :
What's the side-effects of using a adblock hosts? Can it affect performance, battery, anything? [besides blocking ads, of course].

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

iPhone usually uses network to find location. That's why it can fix faster.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Well, if a host is on the blocked list and is required to load an app or website then that app or website won't work, I think this is the issue he's having with Shazzam,

As to whether it actually has any benefit other than the obvious, probably not, it might reduce load time on really ad heavy websites and reduce the total data used.
[Galaxy S II General] :
So we should disable Lock Sounds?

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

But how it works? At boot it reloads and where it keeps? Can't it affect anything?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
It will reduce your AudioOut_1 wake lock, but by how much depends on how often you unlock and lock your device.

Basically the hosts file keeps a local list of web addresses like www.xda-developers.com and their IP addresses, an unmodified host file just has localhost mapped to 127.0.0.1 so that if you type localhost into a browser it goes to the localhost ip which is 127.0.0.1. Many android ad blockers modify this file and add other hosts say www.tonsofads.com and point it to 127.0.0.1 as well, since 127.0.0.1 doesn't have the content necessary most browsers ignore the missing ads and load the page without them. This can be a problem if an app (in this case Shazzam) requires loading a website that is blocked in this hostfile since it tries to load the required content from 127.0.0.1 which doesn't contain it and therefore causes an error.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Didn't answer the question, but anyway, I'm just gonna Google it, hehe.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
My first answer never answers your question or at least that seems to be a pattern, anyway here's my second answer:

Mine is in /system/etc/hosts on GNex. It should be in the same place on all devices,

It's checked every time you use DNS for something it checks the hosts file first to see if its listed locally before going to your providers DNS servers to do the lookup.

Like I said above, it affects the DNS lookup of web address and redirects the text address to a different IP address (generally 127.0.0.1) so if you put the wrong information in the host file something odd could happen, but it's always a good idea to do a backup before you install ad blockers or edit your hosts file just in case.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Now it's answered, ;) thanks. I'm assuming that it affects performance. 1MB-700KB of text is too much, so it may slow down internet spped, increase CPU usage, lower internet usage. Correct?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
It could decrease performance a little if your host file gets to be really really big, but if it does I've never noticed the difference. It does lower data use a little because it doesn't load the graphics associated with most ads. Overall, I don't think you'd notice a difference between it being on and off.
[Galaxy S II General] TheKawa:
