I wonder how many s2 users still use cm9 as their main daily driver...

I find it the BEST experience there is on my s2. Personally I don't get what all this hype is about with JB. Looks the same as ICS by has more bugs and annoyances! :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] xman323:
I use it as a daily driver and quite happy with it

but i wouldn't Jump to conclusions about being ICS is better than JB

CM10 is neither a daily driver nor as polished as ICS because of the poor documentation and sources regarding the Exynos processors

I'm waiting it to become stable in order of it being usable, until then....we can't judge it yet
[Galaxy S II General] Teejai80:
Yeah CM9 is still my daily driver. Has everything I need and good battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] pr4wn3r:
Same here. Using cm9 as my daily driver and its awsome!wont change to CM10 until a stable version comes out. Reading trough the thread of cm10 it looks a bit like playin in the lottery. Some say,they dont have any issues,others seem to have a few :D

I have used CM10 for a few days, but returned to CM9 after too many disconnects during phone calls. I will install CM10 (or CM11 by then) once it is fixed or when I buy the new Nexus phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Eclipse_Droid:
Couldn't agree more. I I am not judging cm10 on what it's going to be. Just what it is so far compared to cm9.:D
[Galaxy S II General] cakerone:
I am using CM9 (nightly 20120930)+last DreamKernel and thats kombo is Superb performance, battery live and stabil one whitch I never had! But thats new nightlys of CM9, is bit hungry of OS android and System Android?! Or it was only me? Any body can confirm my feelings?

hello everybody!

i know that MHL is not officially supported. But i've read that it still works for video playback in mxplayer.

I'm running cm9 w siyah kernel but can't get any picture on my tv whatsoever. mxplayer only shows the video on the phone's screen..

does anyone have an idea how to fix this? been messing around with this all day :/

I updated to cm-9-20121021-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip but now I'm having issues with clock display. When I unlock the phone, the clock is showing the same time as when the phone was locked. After locking and unlocking again, it shows the correct time. Also, when I unlock, the time showed in status bar are wrong too.. and I can't find a way to update it to correct time.

I did full reset (dalvik, factory, cache, permissions and etc.) with no success.

[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Do a backup and then a full wipe to see if the problem persists... its not cm problem, must be something wrong from your end.

Ok i will try this and report, just tell me i do backup in recovery and than restore from it? Thanks

[Galaxy S II General] vibecatalin:
My phone locks and if I press the power button I see the screen dimmed for a second and it disappears. I can't do anything. I have to put out the battery. Tried wiping cache, and dalvik, doesnt work. I cannot use the phone, because everytime it boots after 10 seconds it locks. I dont know if this is CM9 related. Has anyone had this issue? Has anyone have an ideea how to stop this? Thanks

L.E. Reflashed the 28.10 nightly. Still same problem. Can someone help me?
[Galaxy S II General] King_Rat:
If you can do wipes then you must be getting into custom recovery ^^

reflash CM9 -=or=-

restore your nandroid -=or=-

get into d/l mode & flash stock firmware...

Hope it works out :angel:
[Galaxy S II General] vibecatalin:
I havent done a back up. So I have to get into the phone to take some stuff from there :). Can I flash cm10 over cm9 without wiping data?

First I will try flashing another kernel,maybe it works.

After reflashing CM9, same issue, but after I put the battery out and restarted, I saw it was ok. The problem was started this morning when I got a sms. And now I have send an sms from my wife's phone and boom same problem. The phone locks and if I press the power button I see the screen very dimmed for a second.

Managed to freeze the stock sms app with Titanium Backup, everything was ok for a few minutes, and now same problem. Don't know what to do, guess I will install CM10 after I back up my stuff.

P.S. Sorry for polluting the cm9 thread. Have a nice day!
[Galaxy S II General] King_Rat:
:slaps-forehead: No back-up!? You have TB on ph ^^ if you've used that to back-up apps just reflash CM9 with full wipes & restore your apps data (NB, don't restore app w/ TB... just the data) & you should be god to go :cool:

Anything you haven't TB'ed is probably gone :(

In future always make a nandroid before trialling new mods/roms/anything ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ccrows:
^ +1

Daily reminder to backup and backup often. I just can't stress that enough!

IMO - Once a month, and ALWAYS before trying a new ROM... :)
[Galaxy S II General] King_Rat:
I have serious ORD's then :eek:

I might make a backup twice a day some weeks... :silly: ...usually twice a week :D

I'm always looking to tweak mod ph ^^ that's where the fun & the learning happens [+ the occasional BSOD]
[Galaxy S II General] vibecatalin:
Of course I back up my apps and other stuff when I install a new rom or update but this problem started from nothing. I havent done anything yo my phone in the past week and I`m still wondering what was the problem, managed to backup afterall. I`ve wiped data and installed Cm10 wich is great, a plus from cm9. Thanks for replies.
[Galaxy S II General] ZippityD:
Crashing with CM9 until charging, unsure why?

Hey, noob-to-CM here attempting to figure things out a little better. I'm hoping this is a simple mistake someone else has gone through and can help me resolve on my I9100 (m).

Problem:

Phone crashes randomly, cannot find pattern. It then will not turn on (shows CM9 loading screen, glimpse of background and crashes again before loading apps) unless it is charging (at which point it boots completely fine). Happens 2 to 3 times a day. Battery level does not matter for this to occur, and no settings I have yet fiddled with make a difference. It has never crashed while charging.

Long story:

-Rooted phone and put on ROM with those CM10 nightlies (via odin), but it crashed 4 to 5 times a day - this same way where it could boot only when plugged in and never crashed while charging.

-Went to dorimax kernel, didn't help. Wasn't sure why It thought it might.

-Figured CM10 had instabilities since it was so new, and I couldn't quite use it as normally, so went and flashed the 'noob-proof' resurrection CM9 from this thread via odin, which should include the proper kernel. Made sure to follow steps including clearing caches and everything, and then followed instructions to upgrade to a stable more recent version.

-Random crash issue persisted.

-Updated to a recent nightly, figured it might have been an odd flash or something, but apparently not.

-Random crash issue persisted.

Currently:

ROM - 9-20121028-NIGHTLY-galaxys2 (but same bug was happening with the stable).

Kernel - 2.0.32-CM-ge9cefgc blinky-ghost@cyanogenmod #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 28 03:10:30 PDT 2012

Thank you very much in advance for helping me with this. If there are any tools or specific reporting procedures I can follow to assist with this please let me know. I've attempted to read through many pages of this thread and have not found this problem (ditto to search function). Also, I realize that since this persisted between CM9 and CM10 that I am probably missing some third variable, but I have absolutely no clue how to go about discovering that and would really appreciate the assitance.
[Galaxy S II General] King_Rat:
@ ZippityD & others...

Is there any variance between S II's from different regions??

Having a Huawei IDEOS U8150, there are slight technical differences between these ph's from different regions.

e.g. I have U8150-D which is able to handle higher OC than say a U8150-B

I haven't heard such a thing for the S II... but, you never know ;)

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using TB can cause issues in ROM's (so I've read)

I try to use cloud based apps &/or apps that store their data via the SD card - I just install app again (after having manually copyied it to SD)

the app then syncs upon first launch ^^ easy peasy :victory:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS - I've found a couple of bugs in CM9 20121028...

Slider shortcuts = trying to restore system camera icon or using it for another app causes settings to FC!

Hello,

I have a problem with the last nightly. All Gps aps don't work and ask data connection needed.

But i have activated all data 2G/3G, itinerance (i don't say it in english).

I have do wipe data & cache... Same.

I haven't mod or anything.

Can you help me ?

[Galaxy S II General] deimdos:
Flash stock ROM (via Odin) and check wether the problems still exist, if so probably it's a hardware problem

Yes there are some variations (but sold worldwide) you'll have to check what variant is yours (check Wikipedia for example).
[Galaxy S II General] ghost shell:
Using the latest nighlty (but also tested the stable 9.1 release), and the SD card is not listed in the security options.

Which means it's not possible to encrypt the SD card.

Any ideas on what is wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] ZippityD:
Attempted two "stock" ROMs, one from the "Canadian thread" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193695 and the other from SamMobile for my device http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100M&pcode=BWA&os=1&type=1#firmware .

Neither worked, and now it just sits at the animated S logo without booting completely in any fashion. I can get into download mode but nowhere else. I'll try the flash a few times and then maybe just have a good cry haha. At any rate, the problem does not seem to be Cyanogen related which was my original concern.

Thanks for responding and attempting to help - I'll be off to try and learn what I can to fix this now. It would really suck if I ended up buying a new phone but that's the risk I suppose. :)
[Galaxy S II General] DaReDeViL:
I once had a similar problem which I resolved by wiping completely my s2 from a custom kernel (not stock 4.0.4, VERY IMPORTANT) and then flashed a package of gb stock rom xxki3 (bootloader, phone, modem, pit, csc) and then flashed cm9 resurrection.
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but say for example I charge my phone fully (100%), and then reboot it, the battery drops to 60%. This is extremely frustrating, I'm not sure if is my battery not holding charge or something other.
[Galaxy S II General] DaReDeViL:
Try this : let the battery drain until the phone turns off, take the battery out for approx 1min and turn on the phone without charging. Let it turn off alone again then charge fully without turning it on. The strange battery drain should be gone, if not, try with another battery
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Flash a stock 4.0.3 ROM via Odin (better if you get three files which are ROM, kernel and CSC). You'll be stuck in a boot loop. Then you must go into the recovery and do a /data wipe (factory reset). Should be able to boot.
[Galaxy S II General] DaReDeViL:
And DO NOT do this via a stock 4.0.4 ROM.... Danger of hardbrick
[Galaxy S II General] -Luigi.:

[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
Strange thing is: didn't work in my case by flashing only CM9 with build in kernel.

But since using Siyah kernel, this and some more bugs seem to be gone...

- works fine with Whatsapp and gmail.

- sms - the volume get low and don't come back to original level, I have to press any volume button to recover it.

- gtalk - don't work, the volume goes to zero and I have to do the same, press any volume button.

I listen to the music a lot, so my solution was take off any sound notification of apps that annoyed me :)

What does it mean by, "ICS bootloaders lower than LPH"? I have Chameleon ROM XWLPX with NELP4 modem. Is it safe to just flash the latest CM9 nightly over it?
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Since "X" comes after "H", I'd say you have a bootloader higher than LPH. Flash the Resurrection edition given on the first post via Odin.

Hi, friends

I'm using cm9-28102012 build as second rom from one week, using siyah 4.1.5. I flashed the rom after full wipe, wipe cashe and dalvik cashe. There is no bugs, the battery life is great, no battery drain and no FC. I restored apps using TB without problems. Great internet connection usin modem UHLPH. Very good quality in the viber conversations. I'm really susprised by the stability of the rom. Thank you developpers!

I'm using cm9 for a month now and everything working fine except fir camera.

I'm having that feeling that the photo camera isn't as good as on stock-fw in term of focusing and overall image-quality. It's not bad just not stock quality.

Anybody else experiencing this or is it just placebo :confused:

Btw: tried different builds

Oh thats a pity because i use camera very much. Maybe it will improve on cm10 when samsung finally releases sources. But honestly: i don't have much hope :rolleyes:

Something different: do the nightlys that were released after cm9.1 have any new features or improvements. I searched in forum but couldn't find a changelog (at least none a newbie like me could understand...)

Meh I still think the camera quality is pretty similar, at least from what I've seen...
[Galaxy S II General] rockambole:
the exynos 4 sources that samsung is releasing will help to fix the remaining bugs on CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] aaron552:
Unlikely. The sources won't help with RIL or audio, AFAIK.
[Galaxy S II General] JulianXhokaxhiu:
For the audio part they're finally coming to a good news and i hope it will be merged into CM9 (and 10 also maybe) ASAP :)

It seems it will not be merged...too much mess to deal with it :(

At the moment I'm running latest RR on siyahkernel 5.0.1 on my SGS2 phone; It's my first try, so, as all went OK, I'd like to try some more roms to see which one fits me most.

So, I thought going for CM10, but I see still a lot af activity on cm9 and cm 7 fora...

My question is why one chooses for cm9 or 7 if cm10 is available and stable ?

Then, i'd like to know if there's a problem if i dual boot and install cm10 as 2nd rom? Are there any issues (like accounts etc ?)

Thx
[Galaxy S II General] fatjivi:
Cm10 is faster but cm9 is more stable(why are u still interested in cm7..GB is gone now) ...use cm9 as primary and yes you can dual boot both cm9 and cm10 with the latest siyah kernel
[Galaxy S II General] Reno29:
Anyone have freeze/crash phone whit the last nightly?, i recently star in cm9 and in the last ningthly after a few minutes playing games (temple run, osmos, etc ) the phone crash, the unique form to star it is get out the battery and turn on again.

Been a while since i flashed the last posted stable on my i9100 and i decided to run Quadrant 2.1.1 on it. Here's the troubling thing. I switched to performance governor, disabled all profiles (in SetCPU) and i see the CPU clock jumps to 1600MHz right away BUT after i have ran Quadrant and open SetCPU up again, the clock frequency is now a steady 800MHz. What gives?

Needless to say my Quadrant Score is absymal. A measly 2900.
