Obviously I can understand it is very frustrating to try and develop without all the relevant source code from the kernel, libs etc etc. But what are all these developers who go over to the Nexus actually going to do? There can't be that much demand for their work over there, the Nexus already has the full AOSP experience, CM9 can't really need lots more people working on a single device.

Users get real joy from the hard work developers put into hacking locked down phones, helping to remove bloatware from low/mid range devices with low memory. I would have thought developers get more recogition, donations and people praising their name when they work on these annoying devices that manufactuers have locked down. Yeah the lack of sources and support from oem's is a ***** but we'll love you more the the extra effort needed ;)
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Due to less developers...

and people prefer stock their
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
We're getting spammed with silly questions via PM, twitter, g+, email and so on. Sometimes there's a thanks or a nice message between this ****storm. We're not getting much donations.

We're putting countless hours into it, so much hours that nobody can pay for it.

That's a dev's life.

The only thing which really makes fun is to communicate with other devs or to achieve something.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
The FreeXperia team is quite active.

But let me ask some help on one weird issue.

I went from cm7 to cm9 since first day in december straight without any big cleaning (wipe data/factroy reset), and dind't have any trouble. All major functions (GSM, WIFI, Data, GPS) have been working well appart the known issues.

For the first cm9 nightly, I decided to do a spring cleaning, and so made a fresh install with wipe data/factory reset, reinstall my app one by one etc.

Now I can't connect to as many wifi networks as before !!"For example, at work, I can no more connect to the 2 networks were just a few days ago I was able to.

What can be wrong? I guess when wiping data/factory reset some files have been delated, and it shall be the reason.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I know i have Xperia x10 and FreeXperia supports it also

And i see only 3 devs in FreeXperia(FXP,deafer,Bin4ry) and DooMLoRD for kernel and zdzihu(the legend) for AOSP and kernel(and cm9 also)

So only 5 main devs their

Does it obtain ip address?

If so then its what?

if its 192.168.1.1 then its the problem with router discussed a few pages back..

[Galaxy S II General] Hassi94:
There are plenty of people who have found 'solutions' to this, and it isn't meant to be there because it wasn't a few days ago. Yes my battery is draining fast - lasting around 9 hours with low-moderate usage.

Anyway, I didn't complain, I asked if someone could help. Just because it's in beta doesn't mean problems can't be solved. I'm not reporting a bug, that would be talking to the developers - I'm asking other users.

So instead of riding that high horse of yours just ignore my post if you don't possess the know-how to help me.

I don't mind it if it was 12 minutes. But the wlan wakelock kept it constantly awake, as in I had my phone on for 5 hours and it read 5 hours wakelock. Same when I restarted, never stopped being on.

With AudioOut, I've been told that it's to do with touch key sounds and unlock sounds. Both of those are off on my phone but I'm still getting about 2-3 hours of it per day (and if it helps - it seems to be one or the other, rather than both happening at the same time).

Sorry if this sounds a bit rude but if you don't enjoy it (as you seem not to) then why do you do it? I really appreciate it and love your work but not at the cost you being unhappy doing it. Is it just for the sake of pushing your knowledge and experience further? :)

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

Hey thanks for the reply.

I don't use any at all. I do have whatsapp and skype installed but I haven't used them since being installed.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
No, for one network the device stands at "obtening IP adress..." , but in fact can't get it! and for other network, authentifcation failure.

Both networks are working for other people in my Co, especially the guy close to me running SGS2 stock.

Again it is new and came after my clean install. I have nandbackups of my old builds which still can connect (i tried), but would like to stick to the new clean one.
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
Forgot to ask before. Does something change with the wake time on ICS?

Even in samsung roms, and of course on CM9, the waking time is much shorter than ginger.

As I read many times that it was more of a hardware liitation than anything, I always have the sensation of having a permanent wakelock. But it's normal, right?
[Galaxy S II General] xavihernandez:
Don't know if it will help but try to forget network and connect it again.

If it does not solve your issue, try changing modem. What is your current one?
[Galaxy S II General] MPKO:
Skype does all the time something even you would not use it. Uninstall them if you dont use them.

[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
I enjoy it as long as users don't start to annoy us.

There's only one thing which is really pissing me off:

1. come to this thread

2. search for the download link while not reading anything else

3. download the rom

4. flash it

5. do something stupid

6. come back to this thread

7. instantly press "post reply" and type some really stupid ****

I think it's my right to flame those users.

I mean, we're spending so much time at updating FAQs and known issues and they simply do not read and post already answered questions.

I call this "zero respect". And if they don't respect us and our work, they have to feel as much pain as possible.

And if i say "GO AWAY" to a user who didn't read the FAQs and KNOWN ISSUES, then it's HIS fault and not mine. I'll not stop being an asshole to such kind of users.

If you're being and lazy asshole to me, i'm an asshole to you!
[Galaxy S II General] mynameisjon:
My point is this.

I am not a developer, neither are a majority of users here. I have CPUspy and Better Battery Stats installed.

I see things in don't understand in BBS, like "event_23213920193021" as a wakelock. Can I really do anything about it? No.

I've read the OP, I know the background info, being that the kernel used is really a very well done hackjob, so a lot of things will probably not report correctly, and thus, not really make sense.

A wakelock you should be worried about is if CPUspy shows your phone not in deepsleep when it should (screen off), and there is a corresponding wakelock.

And really, even if you do know what the wakelock is, what can you REALLY do about it?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I already tried to delate networks, then reconnect. Did nothing

Modem has nothing to do. Wifi can connect when running one of my backups, and can't with the clean build, when moden doesn't change in fact.

[Galaxy S II General] Hassi94:
I wasn't saying anything about your replies, just to make it clear. Just in the post I quoted you seemed to complain about developing in general. Anyway thanks for replying - was just wondering what enjoyment you get out of it. I can imagine it's quite stimulating intellectually (the actual developing, not reading user's posts haha) so that would probably play a part in why you do it, no?

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

I don't just complain about any wakelock, but these are hours and hours each day. I'll try CPUspy and see. I don't know what the wakelock is, I was hoping someone else did :p

And by the way I want to apologise for replying like a **** - just annoys me when people assume I'm just someone else complaining about 'bugs' without reading up on anything when I'm far from it.

And what exactly is wrong with your photo? If you turned on Auto-sync there's nothing surprising.

And looking at your battery life it seems pretty decent compared to what other people are reporting.

You're showing kernel wakelocks instead of partial wakelocks, so it could be your apps.

Either way, there is NOTHING wrong, hence the lack of replies.
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
Seriously dude, re posting your question over and over won't get you help if no one already has!

Check cpu spy, check betterbatterystats, do a logcat, do a clean install (totally clean!)

Try everything you can to sort it yourself, and then and only then if it still doesn't work, THEN post your problem, what you've done to try and fix it and post your logcats!

How many times do people have to be told!

I want to stay away form the current flame, but I just want to add and say to the devs it is rather frustrating too when you make donation and don't get any thanks.

As you can see, it is both ways. We all are frustated.

[Galaxy S II General] fabrou:
Oh please ... I am a developer and I am pretty sure you have several pieces of code I have written (not only patched or simply compiled if you sea what I mean) somewhere on at least one of your computers.

If you don't want to be "disturbed" a good solution : never give your name, remove your web page(s), don't exhibit your paypal account and I can ensure you that you will never have to read any silly questions, neither to answer to "noobs".

You don't tell the truth : you love being "recognized" (you wrote it yourself : "thanks") and I can understand this, but in that case, do not piss on people that make you popular.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Did i ever ask you a silly question?

No, because i know how to use google or any other search engine. And i'm not constantly failing at reading FAQs or other forums to get answers.

I only ask if i did anything possible to get a answer and got no.

And that's what some users are failing at because they're lazy and thinking that they're special and we were born just to make them happy.

And that's exactly what's pissing me off. Without this lazy guys, anything would be fine. And i'll not stop fighting them.

I'm no lemming, i'm fighting against all things i don't like, and fight for anything i do like.

And now back to topic, i'm sick of this ****.
[Galaxy S II General] ficino:
Wow! Someone needs to get laid. A lot of frustration overhere .. Stop coding for a moment and enjoy life!
[Galaxy S II General] fabrou:
Did i ever ask you a silly question?

Neither.

I just point you that :

1 - you were a beginner some times ago and posts also silly questions at this time when read by specialists.

2 - a silly question can come from a lazy guy, that is right, but also from a guy that discover the machine the problems and also the vocabulary, the basics. He needs to learn.

Following what you say in an extreme way : you do not need any teacher , using google might be sufficient for everything ...

Think a bout this : if noobs where not existing, such forums wouldn't exist too.
[Galaxy S II General] :
i think we all need to rewind and get back on topic here. Which is discussion about actually cm9 and not having a bashing war on Codeworkx if he is a prick or not. He should of stuck to were he was yes answering here every now and then and then leave the rest to the users to help out each other. But now he took over this thread no matter if we like it or not this is his thread now.

So it goes both ways. Respect his wishes and follow the rules that not only apply to this thread but the whole xda in general. Do not be a **** prick and he will not be one to you.

And at the end of the day if it was not for developers like him giving us something different from what we know then we be waiting from samsung for ICS...So for that alone he deserves respect no matter what we think of him..Now end of this please and let the guy get on with his work

@Xplodwild "IT BOOTS !!!!"

What can you expect to achieve with the home-made kernel? In the short-term and long-term??
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
You didn't and i didn't blame you.

But you still didn't get it.

I'm talking about users who intentionally ask questions which are already answered in this thread or on our wiki because they're to lazy to read through it.

Why use the search function or reading through boring FAQs? It will waste 3 minutes of my precious time!!! Not going to happen. There are enough devs and users we can bug!!! So bug them!!!

I'm taking a break now. A full break!

No XDA, no twitter, no developing, simply nothing.
[Galaxy S II General] fabrou:
I got it ... you again are wrong ... I just do not agree, that is all.

bw : good break.

I do not think that so much users intentionally ask questions if they can get the answer by themselves, that is all.

On the contrary, I suspect that many users do not ask any question since they are affraid to be classified as a stupid noobs with silly questions.
[Galaxy S II General] Hassi94:
Used CPU Spy + BBS. Out of the last hour, 35 minutes has been on 200mhz instead of deep sleep. Wakelocks also been on for 35 minutes (this time both AudioOut Partial Wakelock and the wlan kernel wakelock).

Not helping unfortunately :/

Reflashing and seeing if that'll help (though I've done that 4 times, and wiped data completely twice - seeing if doing so after uninstalling skype might help).

VIDEO RECORDING AND USB FILE TRANSFER IS NOT WORKING... PLZZZ FIX IT NAOOOO :P

PS: @codeworkx Good call bud. You gotta take a break from coding and start fresh in 2-3 days. Noobs are gonna ask questions no matter how much you try to change things. No matter how much time you spend teaching them things, there will be more of them popping everyday. And as the popularity of Android is increasing, you'll see many more of them asking to fix video recording or MTP without understanding the situation and background. Asking a quick question is an easy way for them rather than reading FAQ and spending a day to understand all the jargon words. Trust me, they will eventually read and learn things. But bud, this process won't be quick... will never be. Good luck. :)

Basically XplodWild has been making a home-made Galaxy S II kernel (for CM9, obviously...), and has had very good progress, He finally managed to get it to boot - which is great progress!

This (I think) means that we might not even need kernel sources from Samsung(for most things...).

To follow progress check XplodWild's twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/xplodwild

Thanks a lot to XplodWild, I really think he is under estimated for his great work for CM9.
