Yeah, I was being sarcastic. And the other dude was wondering if it was fixed with the changes made to the camera. In which case the answer is no. He can find his own workarounds by reading the thread, or at least searching a little bit.

Hi everybody!

I noticed that the tethering performance of the latest unofficial CM9 is worse than of CM7. I'm doing pretty much music streaming and with CM9 Tethering the stream stops playing very often. The same stream directly on the phone with CM9 can be played without any problem. So it seems to be a problem with CM9/Android4 tethering feature.

Does anybody heard of this?

I expect there is no fix?

thx
[Galaxy S II General] navodwickra:
wifi or usb? I use wifi tethering daily except weekends 9am to 5pm and I haven't faced any problems. To be specific I use tunein and youtube mostly.
[Galaxy S II General] returnzer0:
I use Wi-Fi tethering through my phone as my main internet connection, and I run into two problems quite frequently.

1. During active use, either the radio seems to reboot or I get kicked off the tower. I lose all GSM connectivity for about 30 seconds but then everything resumes as normal.

2. Sometimes the hotspot just shuts down. The icon gets removed from the notification bar and I need to go back and reenable it. After that, things work normally.

Seems to happen on all radios that I've tried. If other people are having similar problems then I will provide log at next time it happens. Till now, I thought it was an issue with my service, not phone.

I am just a about to take the CM9 plunge today, it looks stable enough for me now, has anyone got any tips for a smooth cross over.

better than the first version but still has many bugs.
[Galaxy S II General] Javiertoralm:
In other thread I just read that to solve battery drain issue you can charge your battery to 100% and take out of the phone without unplugging the charger.

I don't know if this works... I'll let you know.
[Galaxy S II General] shawnaye:
just follow the OP's method of flashing, flash cm9 then gapps THEN WIPE. REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO WIPE!

please do a nandroid backup in case anything goes wrong which i highly doubt it,

as well as backup your apps with titanium, backup texts?

yea thats about it i guess,

BEST OF LUCK!
[Galaxy S II General] navodwickra:
just a suggestion - Flash LP6 kernel with touch recovery. Should be easy to find in this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] nutmegy:
just thought i'd share something.. i've noticed that when the LCD density is changed to around 180.. the app drawer actually re-scales and shows 5 columns instead of 4.. very handy!
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Do we have to flash the new gapps 7.1 if weve already got 6 on. Anything major changed?

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Also, can we only edit contacts through the people app now and not through the phone app?
[Galaxy S II General] nutmegy:
one thing i've noticed is the clock app has changed.. may be other bits but it does look nicer.. but when installing remember to clear caches (dalvik too) and run the gapps fixer..

[Galaxy S II General] lalacle:
hi,

Just wanted to know whether im the only one who is having this problem since it is not under teamhaksung's known issue wiki..

I get no reception after a while... sometimes after an hour, sometimes a few hours.. the only way to 'restore' it back is to reboot my phone..

I assume the RIL is only partially fixed?

Thanks for listening.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
guys,

Major Panic setting in here :)

I can't install any ROMS at all, just get the error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device) =="galaxys2" II get prop ("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2"

and more of those and then:

E:Error in /emmc/update9.zip

(Status7)

Installation aborted.

I have tried installing CM7 and I get the same error.

As suggested earlier, tried installing the Siyah Kernel (2.6.2) and that installs fine but makes no difference.

I've also tried a different version of CWM but that makes no difference either.

Currently I can't install any ROM!

Any help appreciated urgently :)

[Galaxy S II General] nutmegy:
You could try flashing CF-root KP8 via Odin.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and then proceed from there.. usual process (go into Download Mode, (Vol Down, Power button)) give it a try.. then go on from there.. it will give a fresh install of CWM then.

But when installing zip off the internalSDCARD is gives this error :(

Thanks for your help so far!
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
I asked this yesterday and got no reply but maybe someone might know...

In cm9 is there a feature kind of like "background data" in Sammy roms that you can turn off or is it built into the coding to stay active automatically?

I'm hoping that in the stable build the Trebuchet launcher will have the ability to change the number of rows/columns so the screen real-estate is used better when the DPI is changed.

[Galaxy S II General] mp3geek:
Has the codecs issue been resolved in ICS alphas? (Watching fox or cbs apps were all washed out when I tried last time)
[Galaxy S II General] alonjankelewitz:
Thanks for clearing that up. I was sure they wouldn't, but a few posts back someone was talking about siyah kernels on this ROM which was a bit confusing.

Awesome ROM by the way guys. No FC at all. Had one screen glitch thing happen but it ain't no thang. Really stable considering its an Alpha/Beta. IMO stability can compete with a lot of the GB customs ROMs out there in the ether!
[Galaxy S II General] alonjankelewitz:
Don't think so dude, that kind of progress would have been mentioned in the change logs at the beginning of this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
And the best way to keep in touch with this changes are mine (@xplodwild) or @codeworkx twitter.

I'll be working on codecs later today. Hopefully we'll sort it out by the end of the weekend.

I'm also going to take bugs reports ONLY FOR MAJOR ISSUES, AND FOR BASE SYSTEM FUNCTIONNALITIES. An example could be the buggy Photo Editor in the Gallery. I don't care about your phone being a heater, low audio volume, or your Messaging app having a white background. Also, don't report things we already know (like YouTube/Video/Camera/Effects not working) If you have something RELEVANT, you CAN send me a PM.

Drain is because of wakelocks, that voodoo approach above, if it doesn't bork your phone,

might

address the fuel_alerted wakelock.

Install Better Battery Stats, you might find a process/app you can address, but you'll always have higher than "normal" drain on 3G because of the kernel, RIL, and all that ****.
[Galaxy S II General] Nexu$:
OK, I tried all modems, then flashed the GPS module - again, I only get the GPS icon in the top tray but no dot inside it blinking. As you can imagine, there is no GPS working (No location available).

Appreciate any help or ideas how to fix it. :)
[Galaxy S II General] dmullaney:
Anyone else getting terrible battery drain on the latest build? I've gone from getting a couple of days to only 7 hours! I haven't got better battery stats at the moment but I'll stick it on later to confirm it's not an app problem, but it's showing 80% from Android OS
[Galaxy S II General] stone_phalanges:
Is there any way we could update the OP with some information and fixes for a few of the issues? I know everyone usually would suggest that people just search the thread (this is what I did and I found the answers) but I think it would cut down on the repeated questions if the OP had a few of those answers. For instance could we put a link to the LP6 kernel in the OP instead of it just being on some random page in the hundreds of pages in the thread.
[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
I will give that a try, is their a reason for this or just to make it more stable

guys,sorry for this question: where i can find lp6 kernel with touch? i tried to install from Rom Manager but without success!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Well if the OP here wasn't so useless we could do that yes.

I had made a mirror for LP6 touch recovery modded kernel because the original link stopped working. You can just search for my post in this thread.

[Galaxy S II General] Estex:
for battery issues, the best result i´ve found:

- full charge

- reboot recovery --> wipe battery stats

- reboot now & disconnect

- use normally, then full charge from 0-5%
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
You know that "battery stats" you wipe are only the stats displayed in "Battery" in the Settings ?
[Galaxy S II General] fpdragon:
can confirm this! battery calibration of sgs2 is a hw feature which can't be reset.

just charge full and use until it's on 0%. no calibration from user needed.

[Galaxy S II General] :
Guys please don't flame me on this one, but I have yet to find a suitable launcher for cm9 (I really loved TW and much more 216 dpi). So far the one compatible with ics I found are apex, nova, trebuchet, GO. But neither of them let me sort my apps in a custom way and leaving half empty pages in app drawer as in tw! Do you know of any alternatives in this direction? I'm really liking cm9, although experimental it rocks!! An inverted or holo themed email client would be even better, I'll look for it later ;)

[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
BS.

Just keep your battery level above 15% and below 90%, and you're fine. Forget all other battery wipes/calibrations/woodoos.

There are Samsung ICS leaks, use one of those.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Every launcher allows you to leave half empty pages... :rolleyes:

If you like TW, why are you looking at CM9... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] kitecarl:
Check out ADW Launcher Ex. I find it to be very customizable, even at lower dpi, and runs fantastic on ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
How?

------
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Are you serious... :confused:

You can even leave the page empty, although I cannot see why one would want that... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
I assume he/she means leaving a half empty page in the app drawer rather than a half empty home screen, though I don't see why you'd want that either.
[Galaxy S II General] navodwickra:
LPB has the sd card security check and for me touch response was bit sticky. LP6 seems to better.
[Galaxy S II General] :
yes mate, you are right, I wrote my question very badly :) post edited!!

I like this kind of sorting since I assign each app drawer page to a bunch of apps somehow related (page 1: social; page 2: productivity; page 3: system tools; page 4: games...just an example!). Don't you find it annoying when you have to swype it all the way to get to an app which at the next installation won't be again in the same place? :)
[Galaxy S II General] BlutIgen:
is the last version of cm9 stable can i use it for daily
[Galaxy S II General] :
"Yes". I've been using it as a daily since late December, your mileage may vary however; so "no" and "maybe" are also possibilities.
[Galaxy S II General] elban:
you are not advised to do so, but many (like myself) are doing it :-)
[Galaxy S II General] KSTu:

Do you have to carry out the full wipe before or after you have flashed CM9

I am not sure if this has been posted on this thread so here goes -

Hellcatdroid is has made dual boot for the Galaxy S2, at the moment you can only dual boot GB and down, but he is working on being able to dual boot ICS with another rom. So for people who arnt sure whether to get CM9 as it is not a stable relase yet, keep an eye on this link and you will beable to have both CM7 stable and then boot into CM9 untill you are happy to have CM9 as your main rom.

[Galaxy S II General] dr3am_r:
I know this may be a n00b question ... but i really didint find an answer anywhere for this ... is there a way to port the allshare app from the original LPB fw to CM9? The samsung integration is the only thing i miss. I allready try just to copy the app from /system/app of LPB to CM9 but it doesnt work so i think it is a bit more complicated than that. Should i just be satisfied with the other apps like that on the market ? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
My original post isnt useless, the idea was a discussion thread, so that not to annoy the CM9 team.

Everything you need for CM9 is in codeworkx's post on the main thread.

This isnt my own rom, it doesnt need a whats working/not working section.

It also doesnt need a section for "fixes" and mods that move things away from codeworkx official rom.

The reason is new updates come out all the time, so its very hard to remain up-to-date, half the fixes are just people's opinion of what it fixes, when it doesnt fix it for other people, everyone is using different modems/kernels all swearing different ones are better.

If you have a section for fixes, if anything is missed it gives people an excuse "oh i didnt search because it wasnt in the fixes section therefore i just asked the question"

However youve obviously (by your post and thanks count) contributed alot to the android community and i therefore respect your opinion, if you want to write up an original post and pm it me, i'l copy and paste it over to the original post.

I like how you call BS and then tell people to keep their battery life below 90%

lol
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
Do you ?

That's actually based around some logic/what makes LiION batteries perform at their best/extends their life, unlike all the clowns on here/elsewhere sprouting nonsense about calibrating SGS2 batteries with various apps or other forms of magic.

So you got anything else, or is that it ? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] t0ph0id:
Jeez, calm down. Have you got a link with details of this.

I believe you and would like to take a read.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] bbgt2:
As for battery life, who cares really? Are you not near a power outlet of some sort throughtout the day? I never "calibrated" my battery on the SGS2 or on my Captivate.

never had a problem with battery life as I dont expect too much, I charge my phone at night when its off and thats it, it last me at least 12 hours with my heavy use.

If you want 20 hours out of these phone go back to a Nokia N95.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
There is lots of reading material. There were some Google researches posted here also. All I found with one search was this.

The bottom line: calibrating doesn't work. That's bull****. Liion batteries like the middle zone charge, around 40%, but you can't always keep it there, so just keep it away from the extremes: never discharge it totally, and don't leave it in charger after it's charged fully (or not charge it fully). This is what I dug up, if you don't want to accept it, it's fine. No need to start an argue about this, here :D.
[Galaxy S II General] thegangsta:
I was going mad because of the battery drain. My device never went into deep sleep and therefore had a terrible drain. I didn't find any wakelocks but AOS was keeping the device on 200 MHz all the time.

This is what did the trick at least for me: Just let battery go below 5% once and it will start to deep sleep after that. If not you'll have to watch out for wakelocks.
[Galaxy S II General] msaraiva:
Use Folder Organizer.
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I've had same problem as you. Probably fuel_alerted kernel wakelock(yep those are important too). Remembered someone said to pull battery and it fixes it, which it did. Now battery is fantastic, lost 15% since yesterday night(almost 24h of standby).
[Galaxy S II General] Tserppa:
Is there a way to contribute to CM9 right now? I would like to improve finnish localization. The Teamhacksung wiki says that git server's not up yet and I guess that means the answer is no. And of course localizations are not the most important thing with I9100 ICS right now but still.

Dual Boot

Hi guys, my question is more like asking an opinion to you, but anyway...

I'm currently running Gingermod 0.8 (2.3 TW based room), and would like to try ICS 4.03 CM9. I've been reading a lot about it, and pretty confident to do, but, i would like to know if you recomend or not doing a dual bot? with my current room if possible! The closest to a tutorial that i found was this one (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448186), from nook color, but I would like to know if it would give too much bugs to the ICS, or even if you recomend another tutorial. The thing is, i wanna try CM9, but would like to mantain the estability that gingermod gives me.

Sorry if its a duplicated question

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
@guy above me

Don't dual boot. Too much hassle. Just do a nandroid backup and eventually SD Card. If you don't like CM9, just restore from your backup. Dual booting is possible on GS2, but it's a project made for fun not daily use, also pretty dangerous.
[Galaxy S II General] diegoms89:
thanks man, i aprecciate that

probably doind this tonight, than come back to share my experiences =D
[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
If you go and visit this thread, it's all about dual bootin, although it is not compatible with ICS yet it will be very soon so keep an eye on the thread.

How did you push it to that location can I ask. I'm using Astro File Manager and keep on getting permission failed.

Your file explorer needs root permissions, and you have to mount /system as r/w.

I don't use Astro, but poke around in the its settings.

Just to sure, as i'm going from gingermod room which is not CM7 based, i'm gonna do a factory reset and install cm7 before cm9?? I cant install cm9 from nothing, right??

I am pretty sure you can flash CM9 straight away their is no need to install CM 7 first, visit the offical wiki pahe here.
[Galaxy S II General] Ryster:
Hi guys. Apologies... I've done a quick search of the thread, but haven't been able to find anything obvious, and I'm not about to read all 700+ pages :)

The last two builds seem to have disabled the internal SD/USB storage in my SGS2. All the apps I'd moved to internal SD now will not load and say un-installed.

How do I go about hacking this to enable the internal SD/USB storage again? I can go back to a build where the storage does work (which I've already tried, and it does fix it), but would prefer to keep current on the builds if possible.

Thanks.
