Hi everyone !

I want to know if you have bluetooth problems ? Since the last build (01122012), if I stream music (flac) from my GS II to my car radio, it doesn't work after few seconds (30s - 1 min).

I'm go to try if the problem is still here with an old build of the rom.
[Galaxy S II General] kizaros2g:
thanks, seem like its working :D
[Galaxy S II General] Tye:P:
Thanks for responding.

I originally copied over the bootanimation.zip file with full read/write permissions (successfully), then changed the bootanimation.zip to the file attributes of the original, just in case (I'm no expert), which didin't work when I rebooted (I verified the changes I had made to the bootanimation.zip before I rebooted to make sure the file had successfully copied). After reading your post I set the permissions on the file I was copying to exactly the same as the original and it wouldn't allow it.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Use post office, or even better, UPS.
[Galaxy S II General] Tye:P:
As I seem to be having a bit of difficulty in changing my boot animation , I was wondering if anyone has had any success changing their boot animation for CM9. If so, what's your secret?

On a kind of side note, is anyone aware of any limitations when it comes to changing boot animations on CM9? (bearing in mind it's experimental, of course). I ask this because the stock boot animation is set to Nexus resolution and it might just so happen that there's a good reason for that.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I have changed many times my bootanimation with no problems.

Where did you get your new bootanimation from? Did you check any typo and correctly typed the name? (often a great cause of issue).

I suggest then placing it in /data/local/, so it won't be erased when upgrading.
[Galaxy S II General] RaPiiDe:
I've tried with the Build 01112012 and the bluetooth works perfectly. This is a problem between the 01112012 and the 01122012. I'll stay with the build 01112012 until the bluetooth will fixed. :)

I don't have any problem with the bootanimation but thank you for the "data/local" path ! I always put it in "system/media" and it's erased when I upgrade. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Nick502:
Anyone else having problems with Microphone ?

People can hear me but the microphone volume is very low
[Galaxy S II General] RaPiiDe:
Yes, I've the same problem !
[Galaxy S II General] Tye:P:
I'm trying to modify the resolution of the stock boot animation to 480x800 (from 720X1280) by editing the desc.txt file. I've also tried a custom boot animation called "red rage" from rootzwiki (a really cool boot animation by the way!). After reading your post I checked for typos and I also copied the file to the /data/local/ directory, although I was under the impression that it was the other way around, that /data/local/ could be used without root access but would wipe under certain situations, whereas the other destination (/system/media/) didn't, but required root access.

Is it with CM9 Alpha that you've had success? What boot animations would you recommend?

[I'm on 06-01-12 build by the way].

Flashplayer [BUILD 01122012]

Hey!

I'm having trouble playing flashvideos on my SGS2, no matter using the build-in browser or Opera Mobile.

In case Flashplayer is installed from Market:

The "Container" loads and the typical buffering-Icon appears. After that, the browser crashes.

In case Adobe Flashplayer is not installed:

The "Container" loads and the typical buffering-Icon appears. After two seconds, the container goes green and the video ends.

Is there anyone else experiencing this problem?

Is there a fix?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Wait for the next release of CM9.

Your phone now runs AOSP camera firmware.

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
One thing to note after some chatting with Dianne Hackborn - In ICS, Android OS now includes kernel wakelock usage. So you're going to see stuff reported as AOS that was never reported as usage before. You may also see stuff that used to be reported as AOS (IRQ handler CPU time during suspend/resume) disappear from the battery usage screen, just like it does when patching Gingerbread kernels to 2.6.35.12 or above.

For example the 6-second svnet-dormancy wakelock incurred whenever data is transferred over the cell radio will get reported as AOS "keep awake" usage instead of not reported as anything in the battery usage screen. (Assuming it's still a 6-second wakelock in their ICS kernels.)
[Galaxy S II General] tosheeba:
Thanks for the answer. Didn't know that.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Makes complete sense. Couple that with slightly higher than normal kernel wakelocks (although not horrible in my case) and it all "adds up". It is however difficult to find any info on most of the kernel wakelocks.

I can't recall the specifics of one I'm curious about but it's something like event0_1812 or alike. Does that sound familiar?
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
You mean like the function that's been there since forever? Just tap the number in the call log then choose menu then, "Edit number before call"

It still blows my mind that people always ask these things. Even google searching would have shown that as it's not a CM9 feature, it's always been in Android.
[Galaxy S II General] nsmart:
Maybe people would be more willing to use search function instead of posting, if it will increase post-/thanks-counter ? Or vice versa reduce post-/thanks-counter for every post that causes others to facepalm. ;)

In call noise reduction

Hello,

Does in call noise reduction/cancellation works on GT-I9100 / Cyanogenmod 9 Nightly?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Answer = Not sure. :P

That's the best you'll get as it seems to be on but maybe not in some cases. Since there is no control for it yet the answer is as stated.
[Galaxy S II General] Fabriciohss:
That's the problem. There are people who (unfortunately) dig for "thanks" by giving them what they want when they want, rather than trying to educate the newcommers to look for their answers.

I mean, yes this is a discussion thread, yes we are here to help everyone. But hey, you can at least do some work on your own. ****, "im using the xda app" is not even an excuse, there is an search funcion in it. Even if you cant find this function, use your browser and access the desktop site. No big deal, right?

And worst of all, the answer for his question was on the last two pages. Two. ****ing. Pages.

But whatever, people like him will probably rant over my post using childish statements like "ive got to do much more important stuff than wasting my precious time going through 3k posts, so your duty is to answer me".

It will never end.

[Galaxy S II General] Dekar1:
I've stumbled upon a problem of which I blame my specific device. When I connect to a PC, it says "USB device not recognized". So I can't d/l the updates on my pc and put them on my phone. Also, because of this I want to return my phone for repairs, but firstly I need to flash official software.

I've tried to clean the USB port, and it works 100% of the time with charging, but my pc simply doesn't recognize it as storage.

I can't d/l my pictures from my phone or put music on there which is really frustrating...

1. Can I flash official software other then with Odin (PC needed)

2. Can I fix this problem and just keep using CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Not as smooth as build 22. It has hiccups
[Galaxy S II General] anton79ru:
Looks like you're limited to /sdcard in Airdroid, whereas in 4/19 this directory refers to the external card which you don't have. Try going to system settings -> storage, press menu -> storage configuration and tick the "use internal storage" box.

fm radio not found
[Galaxy S II General] Net.silb:
If the problem is a hardware problem, there is no need to touch the software. If the repair shop requires the phone to be running official firmware then flash official firmware using odin.

To make sure it's a hardware problem I suggest you perform a nandroid backup and flash official firmware via odin, if the problem is fixed it's a software problem.

To rule out one more thing, install or reinstall The GT-I9100 drivers on your PC, and also try plugging the phone into another PC.

To answer your questions:

1. You can flash a stock ROM using CWM.

2. The first paragraph that I wrote answers this.
[Galaxy S II General] brar.arsh:
:eek: REALLY??

[Galaxy S II General] mfenetre:
Thanks for your answer, I appreciate it, that did the trick.

I flashed the 0425 and apparently this option is checked by default, so Aidroid works correctly now.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:

[Galaxy S II General] Dekar1:
Thanks for your post.

Can't flash via Odin because my pc doesn't recognize my phone. Hence my post... Any other way??? Could it be USB drivers? If so where can I download a CWM flashable zip for it?

As to your answers: A stock CWM flashable rom will always be rooted right? So wouldn't that mean no warranty? Also I can't find a CWM flashable stock rom (all dead links) to save my life.

[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Actually complain to Facebook. They were abusing the API but not allowing their data to stay on your phone if you remove the Facebook App. They were therefore blocked and they haven't updated the app to use the new API in ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Because CM7's user interface became horribly cluttered and difficult to use due to having too many settings put in.

In most cases - coding the setting isn't hard. Putting it in the right place, however, requires careful thought or the UI becomes a total clusterfuck.

Yes - there's a strong desire to keep the user interface of CM9 clean, as CM7's became a pretty disorganized mess.

No. As per the description, the default frequency on the Note was allowed to increase for two reasons:

1) The Note simply needs more GPU horsepower to function due to having significantly more pixels to push (1280x720 instead of 800x480)

2) The Note has a 2500 mAh battery instead of 1650, so can afford the battery hit (especially since the screen is such a power hog)

Increasing GPU frequency can have a major negative impact on screen-on battery life - reducing the first step provided significant improvements in battery life for Gingerbread users. Conversely, when Francisco Franco increased GPU frequencies in his Note kernel, there was immediately a LOT of negative feedback regarding battery life.

You did read it somewhat wrong.

Over the weekend, the following was done:

Added a third GPU frequency step at a frequency and voltage below stock - since the GPU doesn't seem to have the equivalent of cpuidle (e.g. clock-gate things when not in use even if frequency is high), dropping its frequency at low load can save significant power.

Stock is 166/266 - Now it has three steps, 66/166/266.

I have had no UI lag whatsoever with these settings on the I777 (identical to I9100 in this regard) - I did experience issues with the Note.

Due to this, I decided to increase it for the Note only for the following reasons:

1) As stated above, the Note has far more pixels (2.4 times as many) to push due to the higher resolution display. It simply needs higher GPU clock speeds to achieve the same frame rates as the S2.

2) The Note has a significantly more power hungry screen, so the GPU is less of a percentage of power usage

3) The Note has a significantly larger battery and can afford this hit

That change went in last night.

If you don't like the defaults, that's why they are tunable.
[Galaxy S II General] anton79ru:
Yep, that was the second solution. I just thought you didn't want to do that for some reason I didn't care enough to want to know :)
[Galaxy S II General] Y3arin:
Is there a way to cancel the camera sound?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Fair enough, it's Facebook's fault but it was Google who ultimately disabled it, either way, not a CM specific issue.

[Galaxy S II General] dandjo:
+1 !!!
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
@Entropy512

so if i understand....for those with lag, it will be the same with the next Nightly ??
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The settings aren't changing for the GS2, but you can make adjustments if you are finding them to be laggy. The only adjustment to the Mali GPU settings in the next nightly is specifically for the N7000.

Edit: they have to put default settings in that balance performance with battery life, personally I don't see this lag, but if you want to increase your performance at a cost of battery life that's your choice, they most likely aren't going to do this as a default.

CM kernel is working very well but in future there could be more I/O schedules, governors and support for UC/UV GPU.
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
Encountered the issue yesterday, toogling airplane mode didn't worked. I was to sleepy at the moment and my logcat was on the roof but i remember something about interface not found error in the logs, the same that you encounter on stock sammy roms.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Yup. I'm not seeing any lag - therefore the settings are staying because anyone complaining is nitpicking. If it bothers them that much - it's tunable. I did see significant noticeable performance degradation on the Note due to the higher resolution display - that and the other reasons I already stated ware why the Note's default was bumped up slightly.

I already covered this a few pages back... /sys/devices/virtual/misc/gpu_clock_control and gpu_voltage control

Same interface as Siyah except the down_threshold code is different - as a result a sane down_threshold is around 70-80%, not 30-50%.

We already put in two I/O schedulers, the only other one I might consider is BFQ.

There will not be any new governors other than maybe Interactive, or at least I won't be implementing them - There's very little that alternative governors offer that can't be achieved using existing tuning parameters. Every time someone implements an alternate governor, they seem to wind up pulling off a combination of bad battery life AND poor performance. For example, "smartass" offers nothing that can't be obtained with SetCPU profiles other than bugs and oddball behavior. I have some ideas for small tweaks to conservative, but they're minor.

GPU clock/voltage control is already fully supported. Same for CPU voltage control, I was planning on doing 1.4 GHz OC support last weekend but other stuff came up, maybe this weekend. 1.6 GHz will come some time later - the more you ask the longer it will take, I promise you this.

If you really think there's something missing, why don't you submit it to gerrit yourself?

[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Thank you! Which value should i take?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Look at the files, see what values are in there, echo the values you want.

Edit: I'm not avoiding answering, but I do believe that if you look at the stuff and get a better understanding of how it works you're less likely to do something detrimental to your device than if I just hand you a set of values, especially since every device is different. My test phone doesn't take UV at all well, whereas the one I use as my actual phone seems to be able to handle significant UV without issue, just as an example.

my phone is 24/7 in vibrate mode.... if i get a call it vibrates but if I get a message it doesnt... any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] Toiwat:
Even after flashing the latest nightly (0425), the phone still doesn't ring. I tried resetting the ringtone, it plays and loops when picked from the list, but on incoming call the phone just vibrates regardless of settings.

I tried different nightly versions, I tried different modems (LPS, LPR, LPQ, LPJ), I tried with Siyah and CM9 kernel, I tried backing up and doing a fresh install... is this just a waiting game?
[Galaxy S II General] Nuriel86:
You have to set vibrate to always in message settings.
[Galaxy S II General] fede_79:
There's a way to speedup the light sensor reaction? Because sometimes when I take out my phone from the bag and I'm out under direct sunlight it take too much time to increase the display brightness. 10 or more seconds. I've already try to use custom value under settings but it's the same.

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
You can't edit the files, they aren't really files, they are just values stored in text form, you have to use the echo in terminal or the script method, with the echo method they will not remain after a reboot to my knowledge, thus why you'd need the script.
