[Galaxy S II General] wipian:
I take it you're flashing the mdpi phone.apk?

I never got the incoming call screen to function correctly.

Best fix is to kang yourself at 160dpi.

(But you'll need to fix the power widget)

EDIT: Give me 10 minutes, I'm uploading my mdpi kang, equivalent to 11th nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Don't worry about the features in S3, they will sooner or later be implemented within CM9. Check this project out;

cm9 9/5 build

since the 20/4 build ive been getting really bad battery usage and deep sleep so i decided to do a fresh flash.

factory reset, wipe data/dalvik cache and format system.

gov = ondemand

I/O = cfq

UC = max 800mhz

UV = 200mhz - 850mV

500mhz - 950mV

800mhz - 975mV

with this setup i get about 5hrs onscreen time however i have reached 6hrs once.

keep in mind i dont play games and turn off wifi/data when screen off.

i only use the phone for calls, sms, browsing, youtube etc nothing heavy so 800mhz works best for me.

oh and i use betterbatterystats to see if i can improve deepsleep. i was getting about 95% at this point.

RILJ was pretty high, roughly 2-3hrs with 1minute wake

well at this point i start flashing different modems and atm i think ive found the best one suited to my phone..

hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S II General] ashifr5:
i am on the latest nightly and experienced SOD perhaps :S

i had flashed siyah kernel few days back and experienced my phone going in ultra slow-moo from time to time and i had to take out the battery and restart,and would loose 20% in the process.

so i removed siyah kernel and back to stock CM kernel

theni had flashed the 0511 before going to sleep last night and when i woke up i found my phone off and it wont boot. had to take out the battery for 10 secs and kept holding the power button for 5 secs then it booted. but when it turned on there was 96% battery (it was 97% when i went to sleep) so it wasnt a SOD :S

will roll back to 0510

and ps, i always get 14+ hours of battery life with 3+hours screen time and wifi usage
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
As others have already said, you can search for "pink spot" on google and you'll see tons of phones with it as well as the SGS2 even without CyanogenMod on it.

It's an issue with the camera, lense and/software in all camera phones. White balance goes crazy because of a lense reflection or something like that.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633740

Look there, it's apparently also in Samsung Galaxy S3 and i'm 100% sure it's not running CM9 nightly build 5/10 or whatever you claim it first happened.

http://www.smartphonegurus.com/foru...spot-and-battery-life-significantly-improved/

That's from a Nokia Lumia - not even Android and it still has the same "issue"

So yes, the problem was always there. it's just easier in some cases to see (white backgrounds bring it out more) than others. You can believe all you want but even the iPhones have it too sometimes depending on lighting conditions and all that.

sometimes FC is caused by legacy data in the camera app. Force stop and clear app data usually solves the problem.

Touch response less sensitive

Flashed with latest nightly..Working good so far.. no FC with camera .. only prblm i found is Orientation ( already listed ) and lack of consistent touch response.. otherwise pretty stable..
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
for touch response, try reducing touch sensitivity from default (50) to 30 (under setting, advanced, screen, touch screen). it helps, in my case, and it becomes snappier after the change. as i gathered from others, ICS touch response characteristic is somewhat different from GB, in which there's a hint of "stickiness" to it.

[Galaxy S II General] maceddy:
I searched the thread but was not able to find the solution.

Here's my situation.

Been using CM9 without issues since december without any full wipe.

I also use an external SD Card (MicroSD).

I've had encryption enabled for Exchange.

This morning I flashed latest build with factory reset/data wipe, do get rid of the Exchange encryption.

I now do have access to my MicroSD card through Root Explorer. Other apps also can identify the folders and files but they are not usable. Gallery app sees folders but is showing no pictures. TiBackup sees the backup folder but also says the folder is inaccessible....

When I put the SDcard in the laptop I can read everything....

I tried the settings for internal storage on/off but nothing changes..

Is it possible that the SD card is somehow still recognized as encrypted?

My Titanium Backup is on there so format SD card would not be my first option :P

[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Guys I had a question... I use setcpu for underclocking to 1000mhz... never really bothered much for undervolting as I could.never tell a major change in battery life... also the profiles I felt on cm9 if you set to anything less than 800mhz then you get a HUGE lag... hence not set those...

Anyway the question is... whenever I reboot the phone... and I do it usually once a day... the setcpu doesnt automatically under clock... it is set on boot... and it does show it as set to 1000... but its at 1200... if I just tap the set bar again at 1000 it immediately fixes it...

Does anyone else have this issue...??

Or should I just use the cm9 inbuilt CPU governing thingee...?? Iv never used it before and it scares me with the dragons warning :-P

If you're not doing anything except underclocking or changing the governor, just use the built in performance menu. No need keeping an extra app if you're not doing something stock can already do.

I love cm9, but there is a small issue that unfortunately is turning into a deal breaker: battery life.

I know, if I leave 3G on (sync off), the battery drains fast, but anyway, compared to GB Sammy ROMs (what I had before ICS), the drain is really worse.

Researching the subject, I've seen that apparently AOSP and AOKP roms suffered from RILJ wakelock, and it's kinda unsolvable problem up to now.

Is it true? Is there a way to improve cm9 battery life without giving up 3G?
