I always find it SO funny (and sad) when people try to flash mods from "old" builds onto new ones...

Similarly to when people where using MIUI translations from old releases on the new ones and complaining about not having the new APKs or stuff like that..

I also always wondered how the hell peolpe who failed to understand that a mod (or miui translations) REPLACED stuff from the rom, and if you use old mods you replace the new stuff with the old one...

----------------

Yesterday after flashing the 29th release, i tried to turn the led flash on by going into the cammera, switching to video (without recording) and changing flash to "on".

It did nothing, i guess because the cammera app was updated ? (i now donwloaded teslaLED)

My headphone works perfectly FYI
[Galaxy S II General] BackfireNL:
Ok people. I did search this thread etc...

And i have one question. Did the KP8 GPS module fix the GPS?

To be more specific. If you launch GPS Status/Test does it see more than 2 sats and gets a fix?
[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
it won't get more than 2 sats , but it'll still get a fix afaik.
[Galaxy S II General] markdavey:
Hi, I have done as you could have and backed up my current ROM and tried it.

I still only 'see' 2 sats on the KP8 module (latest build) and GPS Status does not report a fix although the GPS icon gets the solid circle in the middle of it so something thinks it has a fix. No more than 2 sats show though. NDrive Sat Nav does not see a fix.

I don't see this being fixed until Kernel source is available as with most of the other remaining issues.
[Galaxy S II General] rodpalma:
with the latest build I can use Navigation without any issues.. it takes a while to fix but, after that, no problems at all..

How to change clock's position to middle from right side?
[Galaxy S II General] cocchiararo:
Dunno about gpstest, but waze and google maps get a fix with KP8/KPA (fast) and KL2 (slow)

Im indoors now, so i can´t test with the app you requested
[Galaxy S II General] rodpalma:
i guess it depends on the software that you're using .. with the 0129 build I can use waze and Navigation but NDrive can't get a fix...

If people want to do that. Let them do that. Stop focusing on everyone else and chill. It doesn't concern you what others are doing. If you don't like to read about mods. Ignore it.

@codeworkx & team

Big up all your work on cm9, really loving it. I couldnt go back to gb now, been running cm9 since jan and apart from the little known bugs its fantastic.

Also big up who made the cm logo battery mod, this looks very nice to me :) only thing i would suggest is you make it a little smaller so its the same as the signal and clock, but still lovin it....

Edit: also thanks for making rom manager capable, makes it really easy to back up and flash latest cm9 release + extras :)

[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
??? Well, are you so sure it is the reason? It has maybe more to do with the lack of kernel source and real improvment ? Who are the suckers?

Btw, I don't like too much your ton...
[Galaxy S II General] thetacoking2:
I want to let you know Codeworkx, that this is by FAR the best ROM I have had. Please do not give up on this. I have been using it for about a month, and since 1/26 the ROM has given me STELLAR battery life and almost no force closes. It's alpha, and I can deal with it.

Big up you and the CM Mandem, works appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] dmullaney:
Ditto for me, I moved from CM to HyperDroid when I upgraded my HTC Desire for an SGS2. I just moved back to CM this week cause I saw codeworkx was actively posting builds, and I've been sooooo impressed by how good they are.

I know it's technically still early days for CM9, but I'm using it as my primary for the moment.
[Galaxy S II General] Ogy77:
You have the right maty.And Codeworkx dont worry dude easy and please just continue with great work,I really hope soon Samsung release kernel source.
[Galaxy S II General] Christian99:
This, I understand!

First, for one complaint, there are 10,000 people for who almost everything is going well and still like this alfa ROM. You need to remember this. I have followed since December 25 and did every single flash and the little issues here and there were not at all making this ROM not usable on a day to day basis. Every new download I look for it every day and i have no issue with the full use of my phone and I dont care at all to pull the battery off once in a while and to do a factory reset (even if not required)... this is why I like this ROM, I like the CM7 nightly as well. Its because I have fun with my phone and I get all I want with it.

I was also doing flashed for CM7 nightly builds every day since #80. And this without one post. There are many many people (probably exponentially more) who love it such as I do. And who love to follow the changes and see the difference and who loves to learn everyday about their phones and about how is linux and Android are working. I like programming but I never had the chance to even understand the basic. Now I like getting to know some here and there.

You probably have access to the number of downloads from here, Rom Manager, and other places everyday... I would be extremely not surprised about the ratio complainer who sign up for an Alfa build and are just babies, and those who you do not even see on here (or that are only trying to help the tread and to learn from it)... What is it, 1/50, 1/100, 1/500... And they are often...the same people doing it over and over!

We dont deserve to pay for them. Thanks for reading!

Got a question about HSPA+, as we all know, sgsii has a HSPA+ radio capable of 21Mbps d/l.

Now my carrier supports this, lucky me, it used to show up with a h+ logo on sammy TW roms. But I'm not sure if its a TW added icon, or some android icon. In any case, the icon in CM9 is a 'H' not a 'H+'.

Anyway, the question is, are we still making use of the H+ speeds here, or are we limited to plain old HSPA?

Common sense tells me it's just an icon, however I'm still curious to know.

There is no H+ icon even in H+ coverage/mode; H shows up. Just like in CM7.

Video is broken until I fix it. It includes YouTube.

Yes, Flash is on the Market...

Mine works fine. It takes some time and eventually a reboot to make it appear when you first flash.

Has anyone had any problems with Google Music with the latest build? I upgraded a few hours ago to the 1/4/2012 build and tried to play my music. All my music that is on my sdcard wouldn't play and gave me a message saying "Couldn't play the track you requested." I am able to play music fine through poweramp but for some reason Google Music isn't working. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Thank you codeworkx, for what you did for us. :)
[Galaxy S II General] YOSEFE:
Codeworkx has not said he has quit working on the build. He is just using a form of speech. He is not saying that in response to anyone here, but to Samsung?

We all, with the exception of an insignificant few, appreciate Codeworkx's hard work for the sgs2.
[Galaxy S II General] omidchini:

i have been using this rom since dec 25 as well, and still amazing, everytime i use this rom i f*cking fell in love with it all over again.

you have achieved what giant companies could not and will not be able to!! .... you made me love my phone!!!

You can simply ignore the babies or rabbits should i say crying over issues at the current stage of this rom. There are many who are supportive for all of your work.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
please cool down.

i should have said it in a more clear way: i'm sick of samsung!

i don't care about the idiots who are posting ****.

i'm having a lot of fun giving dumb answers and flaming them because they deserve it.

I'll not stop working on it untill it's finished.

But i can say for sure, that the s2 is the last samsung device for me.

Except it's a nexus device and the software is made by google. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] djsimonr:
i have to agree pal, my next upgrade will be a nexus device

But thats not for another year yet :(

[Galaxy S II General] Mtdjassen:
Let's not forget that the vast majority of people running these alpha CM9 builds are absolutely satisfied and will not suffer any FCs or problems whatsoever and thus probably never make it into this topic.

Most of the posts in this topic at this particular moment are from people too lazy to read (or not as immersed in usual forum-behavior, to not be flaming) and experiencing known problems. They scream the loudest, but represent a minority as far as I'm concerned. And modding an alpha is imho pointless, but if you really bother about your battery icon (?!) it's my two cents that this should be discussed in its own topic, because this topic is solely about giving codeworkx some helpful feedback about current builds and not about what-he-could-add-to-make-it-just-a-tiny-bit-better or why-this-hasnt-been-implemented-yet-because-it-clearly-works-on-ROM-XXX.

Bottom-line is: the majority that enjoys the builds does not post here as often as the people that are experiencing issues. Therefore this topics seems whiny, but I hope CodeworkX can overlook this 'cause I can assure you (I'm one of 'em) that there's plenty of people enjoying these builds as a daily driver, not experiencing any issue of significance at all. Keep up the good work.

-edit didn't see the message above by codeworkx, so all is good. but it still applies.
[Galaxy S II General] No Roads...:
Thanks codeworx,

Its funny I have a Galaxy gt-i7500 that was going to be my last Samsung phone it was horrible. But then I went and bought the galaxy tab which is so buggy.... I can now honestly say I hate Samsung too.

But my girlfriend loves her s2 and we love your work. Here's to you man.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I installed CM9 yesterday and I love the new ICS. Video recording force closes (as said in first post) and YouTube video playback is wrong. The videos were missing colors.

But so far, it's a joy to use.
[Galaxy S II General] Christian99:
Fully agree. This Rom is smooth and gives me best battery life (no joke) since 2.3 GB and I get very few force closes. Plus, now we have gps, and and youtube is also working. The only thing is usb but using airdroid is fine with me (even If I do would love to have a backup of the device to acces in case of emergency lol) but for now, I don't need it.

Problems with 3G connection

While I'm using 0126 I got one loss of 3G connection until I updated to 0129 yesterday night, brazilian time. But with 0129 I got 3 losses. 2 only today. I can only got back my 3G putting airplane on and off. Everything backs to normal. I have a Xoom 3G with the same carrier which doesn't affect by this error, so, I presume to be something related with this ROM.

I attached a logcat to see if there's some useful information in there.
[Galaxy S II General] Laggalot:
is it me or does the 29 build ruine the recovery?

i could see folders but i wasnt able to see files in the flash zip from sd card menu...

i went back to the 26.... build for now :)

is that a known bug??
[Galaxy S II General] boyrarr:
I can second this as someone who has not posted but has been using cm9 as a daily driver. I'm using the build from 1/24 at the minute and haven't had a single issue. The "known video problem" isn't even really a problem when mobo player or Mx player have been perfectly able to pick up the slack for me. Even had 18 hours of use and still had 45% battery left over the weekend. Albeit I wasn't using it as much as I would through the week.

Nice work codeworkx. Much appreciated.

I've tried the Samsung leaks also but don't find them to be anywhere near as slick as cm9. I think my touchwiz days are now over. :-)

[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Don't think so.

Dunno what would have happened if samsung didn't sent the phone for free.

I wouldn't buy it because i hate the look, especially the ugly back.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
workaround : make new /dir, put your .zip files in it. Then you will see them. It seems impossible to see files when they are at root of /sdcard

thx but I will try that if it not get fixed in the next few builds :D

@Codeworkx

So did you have a good weekend? Are you still minded to take out a contract hit on Samsung coders?

Did you drink some Bier?

Did you get some Sun?

Did you bang a broad?

Hopefully at the start of this new and opportunity filled week you'll get all you wish for.....and if you get a chance to look at my earlier request for the patched network driver (allowing for the lack of Samsung sources) it would be great to know whether there's any chance of it happening even when the sources are release.

Peace out baby!

I have flashed the last 2 releases via rom manager, just select the cm9 to download, then add zips select gapps and away you go.... i have even selected some mods to flash at the same time as flashin cm9 and it works flawlessly :)

Edit: gappsv11 also keeps your google details so there is no need to re enter your email address and set everything up, not sure if it was same for others but lower versions of gapps i had to re enter my email address and set backup everytime i flashed via rom manager

Yes, and it "flashes" a CWM4, but reverts back to CWM5 after a reboot (aka Fakeflash)

_________________

I'm having a pretty bad issue since flashing 0129, where the screen kind of changed it's mode so everything is horribly bright.. I started fiddling with some settings, but without any noticeable result. So I a did full wipe, reflashed, but it didn't help. Then wiped again, flashed 0126 which has been fine since..well, the 26th :-P

But this didn't help either, so decided to go stock (Odin-style), and start all over, but even after this the screen is very, very bright.

Does anybody know what I might have screwed up,and possibly how to fix it?

Also, the 24H format for the clock broke from 0126 -> 0129,

Because its still an experimental build.

There are probably some more important things to work on. Maybe they want to be sure that there are no problems in the player so they test it longer. It would not help to add errors to the build. Also it could be that the developers don't see that much sense in putting more effort in this build until there are kernel sources or they simply haven't found the time for doing that yet.

But you could of course install it yourself, the link for that is somewhere in this thread.

How can one remove the hardware codecs themselves?
[Galaxy S II General] Rancey:
I have used build 01122012 and it works fine for me, at least for my daily stuff.

However, on the recent builds,01262012 and 01292012, I found issues with whatsapp, msn (tried with messengerwithyou and mecury) as well as from the market itself when I'm in 3G/H+, but no such issue in H+

Issues affecting me when in 3G/H+

Whatsapp: can't seem to send

MSN: can never connect

Market: I can't download anything more than 10mb

These issues does not occur in build 01122012, the only difference apart from the build is gApps version. Used v7 in the 01122012 build, and switch to 10 and 11 in the recent build but no avail.

Any bros encountered such issues and can share some advise for me?

PS: each time i did a upgrade to these builds, I deleted cache, davik cache and formatted.
[Galaxy S II General] tableteer:
I was asking about the repo, not the GS2-specific build.
