I spent like 40 minutes yesterday going back between CM7 and CM9 TWICE on 04/07 build of CM9, but I can go try again.

I have now wiped my kernel, wiped my ROM, and started over on CM9. Perhaps this will do the trick. Let's see how it goes.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
After this I posted another one, look again.
[Galaxy S II General] stealthj:
You've been on the Forums for as long as I have. Act like it. Don't be mad because you didn't read the original post. you asked for a changelog. thats very n00bish

:D
[Galaxy S II General] cytherean:
Hey Fade,

I did the same to a co-workers SGS last year with CM7 and then he blamed me for every little issue he had. If he is not savvy then I say keep him on a stock samsung rom and he will be happy.
[Galaxy S II General] cammel:
You're right man, I'm sorry. My bad...there are so many posts from so many people after my stupid question that I got confused.

When you're right, you're right.

Sorry about the last post. :thumbup:

Have you noticed, or experienced, the data drop on your NITZ SIM vs non-NITZ? Or is it something different altogether?
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
I've experienced this today
[Galaxy S II General] RollingStar:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is because both the Nexus and the Note have higher res screens.

This is a Touchwiz feature, AOSP ROMs don't do this.

Does anyone have a issue where when they restart the phone,

Any custom ringtone, custom alarm, custom notification sounds make a new entry and the original entry does not play anything.

It can be tough because then you miss calls!! Any work arounds??

[Galaxy S II General] Asadroid:
report so far, about 12 hours with ICS, battery idk since im unsing the power pack i will give a report in a few days.

everything works asides video/youtube/whatever even MTP works detecting both cards.

my issues are the usual wakelocks, browser and market stops working time to time, idk if i should use the gapps fixer on this one (they do a connection time out but the rest of the apps works).

and whatsapp shut off every half hour... when its not charging or in wifi
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
I've run out of thanks for the day so I thought I'd drop you a quick note. This would have to be the best explanation of how people should approach using CM9 and why certain things are/why certain things aren't.

If people can't get that, they probably shouldn't even contemplate using CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] TheIncredibleMachine:
I am using the 01102012 "useless" build that codeworkx posted and my data is working. Anything after that I have the RIL problem. On Telstra Next G. It's not a modem problem, its in the ROM. I am using the lp1 modem with the 01102012 build with no issues.

repost

ive flashed this great ROM yesterday and been using it since then..i will just want to report the problem

in encountered..as stated, the video camera still is not working, there is not google maps included in the

gapps package??..video wont play, but was playing when i DL a mx video player in the market..when using the

google music app that was rpovided in the link..it wont play music..but if i will use the native music player,

its working..the two capacitive touch sensitive button is always on lit when ur using the phone and

i cant seem to make it lit only for say 1.5 sec like the usual..(is that normal with ICS?)

thats all ive notice for now..

i hope the kernel update will allow overclocking or at least undervolting so i can save more juice..

can someone confirm or awknowledge this??

thanks..all in all i love this ROM and i intend to use this daily..^^, and im very excited to have the complete build..^^,
[Galaxy S II General] sipospeter:
that's because this build came out after 01062012, and as codeworkx clearly stated, they didn't change anything in that one, which should mean that they are identical. no surprise that they work the same.
[Galaxy S II General] waqax:
use 218dpi in the built.prop and you're good to go

same effect as Nexus/Note

Edit: My current screen with 218dpi

notice the distance b/w edge of screen and icons more over the dock looks neat too hope this helps
[Galaxy S II General] DAMAGE_INC29:
another thing i noticed is that when i tried to make a back up of the CM9 rom i noticed 2 things..one is that the Rom manager wont allow me to back up..when im making a label/name of the back up then i press ok it will just stay there...

2nd when i press ok it will reboot and be on a screen with a dead android whos front is open and with a red exclamation mark..it will stay there for too long so what i did is i press the power button for 10 sec so it will restart then it will reboot again and will start the back up process..

is the 2nd thing normal for this experimental built or i did something wrong in flashing?

thanks guys i hope somebody will acknowledge this problem..^^,
[Galaxy S II General] jawsm:
I also have the rommanager problem with the dead Android. I choose recovery via the on/off button.

[Galaxy S II General] stealthj:
Definitely don't put cm9 on it!

For one co-worker, all i did was ROOT his phone (stock rom) and he blamed me for every single thing ehh...

I'd say stick a lite rom (lite sammy based rom) or just root his existing and remove some bloat.
[Galaxy S II General] Nushio:
Same thing happened with my dad and my Nexus One. He blamed me for everything that didn't work or phone lockups or sleep of death.

He got a Galaxy Note, running Stock Samsung, and he keeps on getting random lockups :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Did you read the posts that Entropy made a few pages back mate?

He was posting about the same GPS issue!
[Galaxy S II General] MrKuenning:
Thanks. 4th times the charm.

That is what I had been doing only I was getting there by going to rom manger and clicking reboot into recovery.

Oddly it worked that time even though it all looked the exact same.
[Galaxy S II General] stealthj:
If you boot into recovery from rom manager, just go to advanced>reboot recovery and you will boot into the "main" recovery
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Gotcha, so the bottom line is GPS isn't perfect in CM9. Something's wrong and in CM7 it was faster. For those screaming that there's no issue, now I guess it's obvious. There are those who gloss over issues because as long as they can boot ICS and show off to people, they'll overlook every single issue at hand and claim that this is "good enough." Well this is good to know.

take stil pictures while recording video

Hey,

I remember that one of the features advertised for android 4.0 is that you can take a photo while recording a video at the same time.

now that video recording works i wanted to try it out but i cant find how to take a photo while the video recording is in progress.

can someone help me?
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Actually you are totally wrong mate, I have never had any issues with GPS

on my device

, so it is not about people glossing over anything, Entropy says that there is an issue with GPS and I still don't have any issues, unfortunately this is not the experience for everyone, so those that were screaming there is no issue, were not having issues, you can't force the problems you have been having on your device onto anyone else, this after all is software in development and this is also why necessary information should be provided by those who are having issues, namely logs

Did you provide the necessary information???

Or did you just complain???

wireless

Hi, i´m having problems connecting to the wireless network since the last 2 builds, keeps hanging in "authentication" . Anyone experiencing the same problem?
[Galaxy S II General] xavihernandez:
Try o reflash CF-Root or maybe Odin version of Cm9 to get ride of this. Then you will be able to flash latest nightly, GApps and the LPS modem by CWM recovery. Wipe cache + dalvik cache and reboot. It happened to me and I solved it several times some times ago. Dunno if its the only fix.

EDIT: just read it has been fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] aitlbach:
It seems like This features is only available on devices with a dual shutter camera like the one x
[Galaxy S II General] njwest:
That is not a feature of ICS but of the HTC One line. Not available for the SGS2 (or the Nexus or anything but the HTC One X/XL/S/V(?))

Edit: It appears it is a feature of new ICS phones, but we don't have that camera technology, for the same reason we don't have the instant capture of the Nexus.
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Entropy says that there IS an issue with the GPS. It doesn't mean that it doesn't lock. I can get a lock, but its noticeably slower than in CM7. If a developer himself has said there is an issue with the GPS, then he's most likely right.

Just because you have not NOTICED anything, doesn't mean it's perfect. I think it's YOU who easily dismisses issues because you're not watching out for them. If you pay close attention to the GPS lock speed, you can tell instantly there's something wrong with CM9. It's not unusable, but it's nothing as fast as CM7. Go try for yourself. I put my Nexus S with no SIM and SGS2 head to head on a GPS lock today on CM7 and CM9 respectively. The SGS2 was noticeable slower even with AGPS.

And what do you mean by "I don't have any issue." You mean you haven't noticed anything or whatever problem Entropy has described you haven't paid attention to. Not noticing is not the same as there is no bug.

What I'm annoyed by is the lack of a scientific testing here. I'm no software guru, but I've done my share of QA work when I did development. You have to carefully test things through, and that's exactly what I did with GPS. I'm glad there's an explanation (thanks Entropy) for why the GPS lock is slow, but don't tell me there's no issue when a developer has already pointed something out.

I think there's clear cases of real issues and non issues. This may be a real issue, but a non issue is when we see people crying about battery life on today's nightly being 10x worse than last night's when there wasn't any significant merge that could've caused it. Then it's not so matter of blaming the nightly as it is the user's apps and their habits. That's a clear case of telling people it's not the nightly/ROM and something about their user habits that causes battery drain.
[Galaxy S II General] punshkin:
yes, it is.

in the presentation show for the galaxy nexus it is demonstated doing exactly that.

if it is a dual shutter camera thing i guess thats what the galaxy nexus has in its camera

[Galaxy S II General] njwest:
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I've had 0 issue with GPS on CM9. It locks as fast on CM9 as CM7 or stock or my friends Wildfire S (if not marginally faster)

I'm not doubting you have an issue, but it's not endemic and it's not present for everyone. I'm not glossing over it, there's genuinely no problem for me.

You can't just claim that everyone not reporting the issue is lying/dumb/credulous.
[Galaxy S II General] Sk1nner666:
anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:

[Galaxy S II General] hazzamon:
Is it a 5Ghz network? I haven't been able to connect to my 5Ghz network for a few builds so far, although the phone can see the SSID. Connecting to my 2.4Ghz AP works fine though.
[Galaxy S II General] braso:
That app is GPS Status and Toolbox. I also use GPS Test. Both are free on the Play Store. I also don't have any issues with GPS and I use runkeeper almost daily. I get at least 6 satellite locking and 5m accuracy.

Get your wifi settings to forget the network. Rescan and re-enter the password. See if that works.

CM9 is awesome! I came from the Samsung stock ICS rom. CM9's touch experience is the best among all stock rom. Thanks to all the devs for this great ROM. But I have one question for the video playback for 720p/1080p mp4 files. The problem is that the video playback is not as smooth as the Samsung stock Video Player. Does CM9 utilized HW decode in video playback?? Which app on the Play Store can provide smooth playback like the Samsung stock player?? Thanks to all
[Galaxy S II General] superjojo29:
Thanks

Thans! It worked like a charm. I couldnt hear The dialpad touch tones so I installed this app and ajusted the "media volume" which was set to zero
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Try MX Player. It utilizes HW Decode and its smooth. Just finished watching Bee Movie (720p) which is about 3 gb. Good movie, very smooth while jumping fwd and back, no issues at all.

Im on latest Nightly- 20120409
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
It seems to be intermittent - I was fine for a while, now it isn't working quite right.

You'll lock fast if you've ever locked before - it's coldstart that seems to be the problem. Once ephemerides are obtained directly from the sats, it seems to be fine.

It is also intermittent... I was fine for a week or so, now I'm seeing issues for the past week or so. If I nandroid back and forth between XWLP2 and CM9 I can see a clear difference - however if I have locked any sats recently, they relock easily.

I also see sat status periodically "blink out" unpredictably... something is a bit strange... This is going to take a while to fully investigate.

GPS is usable without any doubt (the unit can match my Garmin Oregon in lock times if the Oregon hasn't been turned on for a few days) - it's just not quite what it could be.
[Galaxy S II General] Sepharite:
I got a Class 10 MicroSD card and it loads at around ~1 mb/s... maybe less. Is there something I can do to make the storage transfer more efficient?

[Galaxy S II General] fOmey:
OK can someone please just clear this up for me.. cause its driving me nuts.. just finished having a search and all I find are debates of whats better UMS or MTP..

My question is: Does SDCARD along with EMMC mount using native UMS or are we still forced to use UMS1.0.apk from NOTE too accomplish this?

Reason why I ask UMS1.0.apk mounting of both SDCARD & EMMC didnt work with certain kernels in the past.. just wondering if this issue is on the kernel level ?

Am I not using the correct kernel perhaps ?
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
UMS is included natively in the ROM/Kernel now

Use the commands below to chose whatever you would like as default

those are to use with ADB, if you want to use a terminal app on your phone, just open terminal and type su, then use the commands above minus "adb shell"
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Ok pal, this is one argument I'm NOT going to back down for several reasons.

1) Entropy, a developer has already stated that there are issues in the gps files, and he himself has nandroided back and forth and noticed a difference.

2) You say I lack understanding. But it's more like YOU lack the understanding. You're telling the whole board there is no issue because YOU yourself have not experienced any issues. Have you any idea about bug testing or even reliability testing? On the manufacturing line you can't say there is 100% reliability. Just because you haven't had a failure yet doesn't mean the line is perfect. Similarly, just because YOU haven't been able to reproduce the bug or you haven't noticed the bug with careful scrutiny doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

3) There are other individuals out there who have noticed degraded GPS performance. I told you I had clean copies of CM7 and CM9 nightlies both from this weekend 04/07 benched against one another and the CM9 one consistently locks slower. As entropy said, it's not unusable, and the difference is less noticeable if you had a recent lock. With cold locks or even just letting the GPS inactive for a few hours (say half a day), the CM9 performance is significantly behind.

Look, if all you care about is using your CM9 and being happy regardless of the state of the ROM is, that's fine by me. I respect the work our developers have done, and like all the ROMs I've used on the various Android phones I've used, I always like to do detailed bug reporting, and I try to provide as much information as I can.

I don't like to come onto these boards to complain about issues unless I've tested them myself. So if my phone freezes, I'm not just going to whine. I tested the GPS against other phones and against CM7 extensively before writing all this. I ask what work you've done regarding the GPS to dismiss my claims and Entropy's claims so easily?

Seriously, just because you provide a screenshot doesn't mean jack crap. A recent lock obviously gives quick locks. I can show you screenshots of my CM7 locking 10/10 in a few seconds. And just for you, I recorded video. I can even upload them later if you want, but to summarize:

CM9:

- Clearing GPS data, gets me a lock in 15-20 seconds or so. IT usually starts out locking like 4/7, and maybe after a minute it can go up to 8/9.

CM7:

- Clearing GPS data gets me a lock in 10 seconds or so. I got a lock of 9/11 within the first second of lock, and it went to 9/10 and later 10/10 within another 10 seconds.

Yes I get a lock on CM9. It's slower and it's not as good. Sometimes I've seen worse, sometimes I've seen better. But overall my observations are that CM9 locks slower. Entropy confirms this.

You cannot confirm this, but you cannot confirm the opposite either. Instead you spend your time insulting me and saying that I know nothing and I'm here to make generalizations. Well if you think I'm so wrong, please prove me wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] fOmey:
I dont think you understood what I was asking, Im aware UMS is included natively.. although it doesnt support emmc mount.. only sdcard mount.. Read my question agian please.. iv edited it so hopefully makes a little more sense :)
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
On another note, can Codeworkx or Entropy or any other developer comment on the light sensor?

It seems the light sensor only picks up certain brightnesses like 0, 100, 1000, 10000, and 16000. Furthermore the update rate (default) seems to be pretty slow. On my Nexus S, if I wave my hand over the phone, I can see the light sensor value change almost instantaneously according to GPS Status.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
I never said that there is no issue, I said not everyone is experiencing them, Entropy, the same developer said the issue is INTERMITTENT this is where your lack of understanding is hurting you, I was the one that pointed you the Entropy's posts, do you have memory problems also?

I am not telling the whole board, I am telling you, would you rather I send you a PM

I also said that this is software in development show me where I have implied that CM9 is perfect, again, your comprehension is non-existent

The longest I have ever taken to get a lock is 35 seconds, I can send you screenshots everyday. but I am sure due to lacking comprehension/understanding, you will never know what to do with them

There are also other individuals that have no issues with GPS and there are those that do, I don't, no matter your ramblings, I still do not have GPS issues, you posting in this thread does not change that, you need to come to terms with it ASAP

I will stop here, as I said earlier, you lack understanding and comprehension, and you also are guilty of a great many assumptions, this is not a good combo

A quick read of the thread and you would see that it is you that accused everyone of "glossing" over CM9 issues and being satisfied with getting CM9 to boot, do not claim innocence now about insults?

[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Forget it, what he wants is for everyone to get behind his view that there is a General issue with GPS that everyone has, according to him, if you say it is good, you are "glossing" over the issue, his posts are there to prove it. Entropy himself said it is intermittent, I cannot say I have problems with GPS unless I experience problems, thus far I have not

I have no more to say on the issue

Others vids, well -- you get a frozen picture (same with app screens). Anyway to fix this?

I understand MHL is a low pririty for CM team. But this would be awesome to have....
