Flash the build that was leaked a few pages ago or just wait for next nightly. Mine is fixed here mate. Mtp that is and USB tethering
[Galaxy S II General] bmw13fr:
hey ?? what is the problem ?
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Samsung ROMs aren't syncing to google by default. #blamesamsung

I assume your contacts aren't in your google account.

Sync works fine, but there's nothing to sync. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
mtp works on latest nightly. no need to wait for another one.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
For the life of me I can't figure out why you guys all do your own versions of rom's. Look in the Android Dev section, there must be at least 15 different variants of Sammy based ICS. Wouldn't it be alot easier to combine the efforts, make ONE base kickass, battery friendly ROM with every known tweak that enhances the user experience (or 2 variants, TW-ICS and AOSP) and spend the efforts on optional mods (themes, scripts etc) much like the Hyperdroid team do but on a larger scale. Things would get done so much quicker and there would be less bugs if you use something like github.

@codeworkx - curious to know which modem/radio are you using? Thanks for sharing ;)
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
Just fun, its been mentioned heaps pretty much every page, there is a cm nightly and a codeworkx nightly, both called 20120320 - read back and you'll find a link. Or at least somewhere telling you where it is.

Thanks for the the hard work codeworkx!

Really appreciating the new releases!
[Galaxy S II General] wezza1979:
I dont know how much of the garbage in the last few pages you've managed to read, but what they're saying is the latest nightly doesn't have mtp but the version that they took from irc with the new boot animation does. In essence theyre saying theyre different.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
If you have NOT flashed any Sammy rom with Odin, then you don't need to worry about bootloader.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
I'm just asking... is there any possibility of video recording & codecs in the final build.... whenever that might come? Its very difficult it seems & I thank codexxwork & others for whatever they are doing for us at the moment... you guys rock :)

That would be about right. I just checked my gmail account (I don't really use it, so I didn't notice it earlier) and there are no contacts there. Is there a way to migrate contacts from Samsung official rom to CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
There seems to be some conflicting information here. I'm inclined to trust the boss when he says that the latest nightly DOES support MTP but can someone please confirm whether:

1. The original nightly does support MTP after all or;

2. There has been an updated nightly released

The consensus from the shop floor seems to be that the nightly doesn't support MTP and the 'leaked' build does.

I'm quite happy to invest some time in looking at why MTP isn't working in my case on the nightly, but I'd like to be sure I was picking a fight that I had some chance of winning
[Galaxy S II General] BurlaMatto:
idk but it doesn't work for me, maybe i'm doing something wrong :)

MTP logcat

I have read a few pages back and some people say that mtp is fixed in nightly (03/20) andothers say not. It doesn't seem to be working for me. I haven't seen any logcats, so here is mine

[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
The consensus it seems from the last 20 or so pages is that the nightly does not work but the unofficial build does.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
For those struggling to flash 0319 and 0320 because of bootloader, Kristion has hit the nail on the head. You need to flash the KP2 bootloader via Odin using the "PDA" rather than the "Bootloader".

[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
a) CyanogenMod is based on AOSP and not on a Samsung ROM

b) CyanogenMod is the most popular custom Firmware

c) We're the first team which achieved official support for samsung phones in cyanogenmod (galaxys, vibrant, captivate, fascinate, epic, galaxys2, ace, cooper, mini, and so on)

d) We're no winzippers
[Galaxy S II General] NZed:
For people saying that MTP doesnt work, the build that codeworkx released a couple pages back works. The official 3/20 build from download.cyanogenmod.com doesnt.

Why is there two 20th builds, why not just release the better build.

Have you tried a reboot?
[Galaxy S II General] wezza1979:
I couldnt agree more. Besides nobody here could ever agree on just one rom. Everybody needs the freedom of choice, its what makes the world go round. Its nonsensical to expect everybody to have to choose the same rom with the same theme, the same kernel and the same included apps, that would be met with the anger of ten thousand noobs and the forum would be littered with garbage posts and the whole xda website would be made redundant.

A little heavy for a Monday morning but hey ho :)

[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
Yes I did . no change as such.

I saw ur reply on the AOKP thread :)

I flashed that first and since this APN issue tried CM9 latest nightly but the same result here too.
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
Only valid for 19th. Newest build uses interactive by default, no need to change

[Galaxy S II General] Phil.jansen:
I've noticed exactly the same thing. I've tried both 19 and 20 and ended up going back to 18. There was also nothing really in the changelog that was worth staying around for either. On another note, I completely agree with the people saying that cm9 is stable.I've tried all the lpq and lph custom roms and I find that they're just as stable if not stab
[Galaxy S II General] gbohm:
the galaxy nexus is by far the superior phone it is not all about hardware stats ...
[Galaxy S II General] MilesTEG1:
I can use MTP working with codeworkx release of 20th nightly.

But, files transfer are wery slow !! I'd prefer the old method with USB Debugging activated and mount manualy with the tray menu, on windows it was detected as a normal storage... not MTP witch is very slow...

All I know is, I flashed the official 0320 release and mtp didn't work for me. I tried evey 'fix' people came up with and nothing worked. Then someone said there was another version of the 0320 build, someone downloaded it from codeworkx' server I think before the release was official, so a test version. A version with the new CM9 boot animation. I downloaded that and like they said, mtp worked like a charm, like instantly.
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Latest build MTP works great Windows 7 64bit. Great work!

However having checked teamhacksung website for unresolved issues I guess 2 issues being missed:

1. HW codecs fix broken flash player. As for test I check this website: http://kaban.tv/ntv-online or youtube.com

Flash content playback worked perfectly before hw codecs fix. Don't blame flash plugin itself, its not plugin issue, cause flash works perfectly on official or any stock modded ROM. Even replacing stock browser on stock ROM with one from CM9, flash content playback works fine. So something really is being broken. In addition after trying to play flash content Browser doesn't reload or load any other website. Only force stop resolves webpage load issue.

Please see attached logcat.

2. Some standard mp4 video files still doesn't play (Please see attached Logcat), however plays smoothly on Stock ROm. Even using MX Video Player video file with properties in attached pic, video still plays choppy with dropped frames unless SW fast decoding is being enabled.

For video file properties see attached pic.

Did you test with DICE player?
[Galaxy S II General] seigneurao:
All of these being, by all means, software concerns.

My first thought is : do you have reliable sources for these assertions, or are they totally biased ?

Corollary : have you ever tried a Galaxy S2 ?

And finally, at best, this makes the Nexus a "better" phone *for now*. None of the above is, theoretically speaking of course, out of reach for a future CyanogenMod build.

On a more personal level, I don't feel these "drawbacks" are that significant.

Not to amend for otherwise significant (and hardware) shortcomings, anyway.

Last I checked, the Galaxy S2 is the one which got crazy sales and numerous press, public and professional rewards. I don't say that millions of people being wrong makes them right all of a sudden (the iSheep madness remains the most obvious proof of that).

I don't say the Nexus is a bad phone, far from that, I did ponder buying it but after thorough reading and testing I sticked with the S2.

Nailing "Nexus is better over S2" just doesn't make it truer for anyone but yourself.

And yes, every last one of us do try to justify our choice and spending of money, indeed.

This is only human.
[Galaxy S II General] kcdcmd:
That suggestion is practically the communist version of Android development.

Btw, I'm still rather confused here. I have never flashed a Samsung ROM from Odin, but I have flashed Lite'Ning ROM through it. Other than that, all my other ROM installs have been via CWM. So do I or do I not need to flash the ICS bootloaders now?
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
Touchwiz has added codecs that aosp does not. This isn't a bug, but I expected codecs is something that CM team will add one day after more important things have been addresses. In the meantime use a player like MX player that has software codec support

[Galaxy S II General] gbohm:
none of these things will ever be addressed on a software level and samsung will not get any better with their update and release policy ....

these things i posted are facts and not assumptions.

they are quite obvious

and of course i have both phones by hand i allways thought yeah well the sgs 2 has the better cpu gpu and so on but it really gets down to software the gn feels smoother and because of some other flaws (faulty display banding,widespred camera problems) it is quite obvious that the gn is the better phone at least from a dev perspective..

I'm using build 03/20 and have been a silent but active CM9 user since the first alpha build. I love the latest build but experienced Bluetooth issues today whilst driving. I have a factory fit bluetooth car kit in my Ford and throughout my journey to work today every couple of mins the phone would disconnect from Bluetooth. A simple reconnect or even leaving for a couple of mins causes it to reconnect.

Anyone else experiencing this as I haven't seen it before on earlier builds?

No that's not it, you can make sure you have it because the leaked one has the new CM9 boot animation.

The link posted on here by codeworkx is the same as the one on the cyanogen website. If you follow the link in my previous post there's another version, pre-release and for some reason mtp works out of the box on that one and not on the official release.

FM radio & CM9 with 03/20 build

OK, for those interested, I flashed the latest 03/20 build (with the kernel built from sources) and I tried the Spirit FM application (FM radio application).

As mentioned by Codworkx before, LP6 kernel from Samsung didn't seem to have the FM radio hardware module. Indeed, with builds using this kernel, Spirit FM application was almost entirely greyed out, nothing was working.

With the 03/20 build, the Spirit FM application still doesn't work, but a signal is registered (as shown with the FM signal indicator on top). I've tried various settings, none of them works for the moment. So I guess that there is at least some kind of FM hardware module available, so that's a good sign I guess.

I'm gonna get in touch with the Spirit FM app developer to see what are his plans related to CM9 in general & CM9 for SGS2 in particular.

If anyone has some info on the FM radio topic, I'll be happy to hear about it. Just thought I'd let you know the piece of info about Spirit FM.
