What's the problem then? You're using internal storage as default for apps so your external sd won't have any apps on it to back up.

In CWM /sdcard is the external sd
[Galaxy S II General] churchi:
I have noticed this as well. I was in contacts before and held my finger and it shakes. Sometimes quite a bit and other times just a little.
[Galaxy S II General] zekurosu:
true ... i've been having that "issue" since the first day i got a hold of S2 :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
Not sure if this was already reported:

If you do a clean (full wipe) install, the flashlight notification bar widget is ticket by default. However the button is not showing on the notification bar. You need to re activate it again in the settings menu before it shows up.
[Galaxy S II General] punshkin:
This is a side effect of the reduced touch move value. Without that the screen would be less responsive and neglect short swipes across the screen
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
I think it's responding to the micro movement of your finger on the screen (if I'm seeing same as you).

Are you on stock kernel? You could try adjusting touch sensitivity setting if it bothers you.
[Galaxy S II General] thunderger:
After upgrading from 04-19 to 04-20, I noticed that some applications do not work anymore. In storage settings I changed the location that is used for applications back to internal but this didn't solve my issues. I can't install applications anymore showing a message saying that I don't have enough free space on my phone. It doesn't matter if I use internal sd card or external sd card - I tried both storage settings.

For this reason I have to completely reinstall CM9. In frist post I recommend that is written that an update from 04-19 to 04-20 or later may lead to storage issues.
[Galaxy S II General] HereAsWell:
The problem is that .android_secure is not backuped any longer. on 1404 there was a .android_secure.vfat.tar in the backup folder. Now there is non.

Since the latest nightlys there is no difference in the order of sdcards between the recovery and the rom. Both do see internal as internal and external as external. This was the main reason for the latest changes as far I understand.

But now. There seems to be a problem to backup .android_secure ... at least if "the" checkbox is ticked. I did not test what happens if I untick the checkbox, but normally it should be independent from each other.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
This might not be related to CM9 per se, but here it goes: after a phone crash/freeze (for example caused by Temple Run, but it happens if I abnormally shut down the phone), I lose LOTS of battery. But I think it just reports it incorrectly, because slowly it starts to "charge" on its own, without being plugged in. See the screenshot attached for a much better explanation. Should I wipe battery stats? Perform some kind of "calibration"?

Thx.
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
It ain't working for me....
[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
Stock kernel. Tried to hold my finger as steady as possible, it's still there. But like I said, minor issue for me. :)

[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Build 23 is more laggy than build 22. Don't know why. Perhaps the kernel changes are the reason?
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Nah, cm9 script (dunno what it's called) checks the model of your phone from the build.prop first before installing. I doubt he will brick his phone because the installer will just abort the installing process when the device is incompatible :)
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
did you backup to sdcard or backup to internal card?

if you're using the internal storage for apps, make sure to backup using internal card.
[Galaxy S II General] churchi:
I can confirm that this happened to me on the 22/04 build as well. But as stated above when you activate another widget on the notification bar or change it in any way, the torch now shows up like it should.
[Galaxy S II General] Souf0:
It's the same, but i think it's better install the latest version with Odin, and then upgrade to the latest nightly, if you come from asamsung ROM.

If your CM9 is stable, upgrade to last nightly without problems (if you use odin, you must install and configure all the app and phone settings).
[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
Mine has been like this since I started using CM9. I just made peace with it

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

I was wondering the same thing. BUT yesterday I restored an older backup I had of the stock samsung ics rom, I checked the media_profiles.xml and it is exactly the same. I guess the stock samsung camera app does not use this file to get the recording setting
[Galaxy S II General] giosoliman:
This shakiness was always present even with the stock Samsung rom, its most noticeable in the browser.

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

Its a problem with the fuel gauge of the gt i9100. I also mistook it as CM9's fault back then. It is prominent when you are at half of your battery. Doing intenstive tasks and then rebooting may confuse the fuel gauge and making the info lower than usual. Unfortunately, there is no fix with this and so there is no need for calibration.
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
When opening the appdrawer (with trebuchet) it`s more shaky and less fluent than 22-04. It`s really noticable. Build 23-04 stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] JBL74:
I have newest nightly and gapps installed.

Exchange services are eating my battery. Should I do fullwipe to get rid of the problem or what?

I use exchange email so I can't freeze it with titanium. Thanks for answering.
[Galaxy S II General] ksvictor:
Does anyone else have a problem installing custom fonts through ROM manager?

Nothings happens when I install a new font. It did work done builds ago.
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
Download rom toolbox lite or pro from play store, there you can download and install fonts (Interface).
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Lol, no problem here with shakiness at all...You guys better stop drinking, steady those hands :)
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
I got the same... tried trebuchet, apex and nova launcher. Laggy and not as smooth as build 22. I think the kernel and mali changes are the reason. I hope they change some things in nightly 24.
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
I never drink before 7 am :D
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
I did full wipe and installed build 23. and it's not as smooth as 22. I compared both with a full wipe and media scanner finished.
[Galaxy S II General] skymera:
I use push delivery and have very little battery drain
[Galaxy S II General] ksvictor:
Deleted!
[Galaxy S II General] JBL74:
Same here, but still draining battery.
[Galaxy S II General] ksvictor:
Thanks.

Damn i picked a bad font, but it works ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
I have a theory that people experiencing really noticeable jerking or whatever have screen covers. Mine used to not be so smooth with a screen protector. I took it off a few days ago because it was making the screen not as clear and now its a lot smoother. Maybe it was the rubbery feel of the protector or something but there is defo an improvement when touching the screen.
[Galaxy S II General] FordT:
Might also be a cause, but with me the jiggery effect only happens if I have the phone connected to a 3rd party power supply. When on battery, everything is fine, also on USB connections or the original Samsung power supply. But the one cheap power supply always makes the screen shake. I think somebody in this thread mentioned a bad ground connection as a possible cause for this problem...
[Galaxy S II General] hedgepigdaniel:
I have never understood why people use screen covers. Someone spent alot of time, money, and effort making the screen responsive, good looking, non reflective, hard to scratch, etc, and then people put some dirt cheap piece of plastic over it which makes it cloudy, sticky, and unresponsive. what's the point of protecting the screen from minuscule scratches (which do not happen easily at all) if you never actually see or touch the screen?
[Galaxy S II General] ghassir:
Hi everybody,

Where can i find screen savers in CM9 ?
[Galaxy S II General] Suho:
Hi ! Quick question : is there any way to make the touch buttons act like a LED notification ? Is that planned ?
[Galaxy S II General] spaxx24:
Got one question: I really love the "CyanMail" "CyanMessage" "CyanPling" etc notifcation sounds, but I don't like ICS yet... anyone got the soundfiles? Or know where I could download?

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] ikanikolai:
Exchange sync eat your battery on Stock rom, cm9, HTC, Samsung, lg, doesn't matter. Some users realized, some users not. This problem is related to MS. My colleague also turned off and he is using wp7 Phone. If you can't believe, just check the exchange sync log on the server.
[Galaxy S II General] julle131:
Download cm9 rom, and then navigate to system/media. They should be located in folders there.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Yeah the trembling I've noticed too when plugged. My old bb charger makes it tremble, my Sammy charger doesn't which is strange. I was referring more to general usage when not plugged for example the scrolling in the app drawer etc. Some people whine about it not being "smooth" in general. That's more what I was referring to. But yes I agree that when plugged its a bit trembly. Especially when holding the notifactoon drawer half way down etc. But that I imagine is the sensitivity that's been set. That's not really an issue for me. I barely notice it.
[Galaxy S II General] churchi:
I agree to a point, but if you had accidentally put your phone in your pocket with your keys you will know its heaps easier to replace that screen cover than the phone's screen when its all scratched up and hard to use.

I take a look now at my s2 and i can see it has been saved a few times with the screen cover on it. I guess if you try and get a good quality one then it may work better.

However if the screen protector is the issue then i would be keen to give my phone a try without the screen on it.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Some people work/live in very dusty environments. A building site for example will have dust and possible metal fibre around. My family in Israel have screen covers because of just how dusty the environment is. There is obviously a market for it. What's more, When you pay a lot for a phone its a good measure to take I think. Replacing the screen while possible. To most users (The 20 or so million that are unaware of this forum and rooting etc) replacing the screen will not have entered their brains. A £20 cover is worth while for the longevity.

Titanium backup * root

Hey, I don't know much but I cant use Titanium backup * root with CM9. I'm using update-cm-9-20120423-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip. I did a full wipe and all but when I install Titanium backup it doesn't show up my apps says no mount or something really needs some help would be much appreciated. I also use SiyahKernel v3.1.1... phone runs like a beast and the battery life is pretty good for me anyway. Please help :(

One more thing I just noticed when I try using music player it says "your phone does not have USB storage." soooo... confused, how do I fix this?
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Basically TB is a bit troublesome at the moment. Also, if your using a different kernel, I think you underestimate how much effect this has on the functionality of the phone. You should ask in the cm9 siyah kernel issues thread in future for all problems if you are using a different kernel. It a bit like buying a car, putting a different engine in it then complaining to the manufacturer that car isnt working properly.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Try to scratch it. Nearly impossible.

Screen protectors are useless on this Phones. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
I dunno, my dad s2 is scratched to ****. He's a builder.
[Galaxy S II General] shumo:
i used a screen protector for a few days ... and i said exactly like you and i took it off . the next day i dropped my phone on the screen and scratched it :)))))))

anyway .. i did not put the protector back but i couldn't think that if i still had the protector i wouldn't have scratched it :)
[Galaxy S II General] jozo100:
Oh thanks... I didn't know that. I wasn't complaining I was just asking for some help. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Oh I know out weren't complaining. Just asking in the wrong thread that's all. That's what example was highlighting.
[Galaxy S II General] ronni.rasmussen:
It is possible to scratch it, but fricking hard to do unless you put it in pockets with sand or stuff like that. Had mine for almost a year now, never had protection, and doesn't have 1 scratch, not even a noticeable scratch when looked at in direct sunlight.

But my friends SGS2 which he always put in pockets full of other kind of **** doesn't look scratched until you look closely in direct sunlight.

So i will say that protection is useless if you take care of the phone, but it's probably a good idea to have if you work with construction since small grains and sand is the stuff that usually makes those tiny scratches.
[Galaxy S II General] jozo100:
No worries... thanks. Just one more question the music player it says "your phone does not have USB storage... is that also because I'm using a different kernal?
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Most probably. Basically yes. The siyah kernel is always a step behind the cm9 official kernel. If you want to have dual boot and over and unclocking features and undervolting etc (which is still very unstable) then use siyah kernel. If you want the phone to have excellent basic functionality I would stick with cm9 kernel. Also some handsets were getting bricked with one of the siyah kernels Recently. A risk not worth taking yet in my opinion.

Edit: and sort of aftercare support (provided you read the thread and you question isn't retarded(we get a lot of those)) use the official kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] churchi:
Ill take your word for it :)

Will try my next phone without one and see how it goes.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Interesting screen test.

I didn't find anything, but is possible to install the Samsung Store App in CM9 ?
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Incorrect advice. Deleted
[Galaxy S II General] Vaedryn:
Store app works, other Sammy apps didn't work.

Cyanogen (mod) 9
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
I stand corrected! :)
[Galaxy S II General] jozo100:
I cant take screenshot with the latest CM9 SGS2, when I do try it says " couldn't capture screen.." couldn't save screenshot. Storage maybe be..? This is with a full wipe. The Albums has the same issue says "No Storage" no external storage available? I must be doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Siyah kernel still?
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
Setting/ storage/Menu touch/storage configuration....Use internal storage....reboot your phone, and try to take a screenshot

i have 2 scratches on my s2

its time for a screen protector now :p
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Invisible shield by Zagg is good. The cover itself doesnt get scratched like other cheaper ones. If your in the UK. Car phone warehouse will replace it free of charge too. Will cost you about £20.

Edit: your not from the UK evidently!
[Galaxy S II General] GoWeskerMXGT:
And where i can find a working apk ? I tried some of them and no one works :(

[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
No, just did a uninstall. Weird.
[Galaxy S II General] rmaiod:
Great

Installed yesterday and working great.

Only a minor bug... i think profiles (silent, work, etc) not working properly.

***** FIXED ***********

There is an option called PROFILES and you have to set every profile manually since there are no presets... thats why nothing changed when i swith from one to another.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
I'm using profiles all the time and haven't had any problem.
[Galaxy S II General] Net.silb:
Does anybody know how to have the option to decide where a file is going to be downloaded to, instead of the download folder?
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Settings in your browser I would imagine
[Galaxy S II General] HereAsWell:
I tried both. In both cases I saw the same error. Is there some kind of log written from the recovery that I can provide to you?
[Galaxy S II General] rmaiod:
Well i press power + profile + any profile available and nothing changes...

Anyway i don't like to use the power button so i will install Quick Profiles app
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
I'd say 23.4 nightly is definitely less fluid than previous. I went back to 22.4 to make sure. 23 has introduced lags for example when you unlock (as in the swiping of the lock isn't completely smooth as you come out of sleep anymore) , or bringing down the notification bar.

Maybe a good idea, just updated to the latest build this morning, i have my work account set up with exchange service. My battery stats look fine, never had really fantastic stats, but no "eating my battery" effect for the last couple of hours.

Interested in this story of "improved general sluggyness" of the 0423 build....

Any reports?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Sluggier than build 22.

I tested with different launcher and settings. Build 22 way smoother...
[Galaxy S II General] blinde:
I have rather annoying auto rotation bug. Sometimes if freezes on landscape after for example with browser use and doesn't turn back to portrait. And when I untick from the settings auto rotation option and put it back on, screen turns portrait but doesn't turn anymore. It takes either reboot or some random time on sleep.

I haven't had this bug ever before until now in 2204 nightly.

Can you please take out the sounds of camera, such as when I touch to focus, and take a picture, there is a really annoying sound!! any idea for avoiding this sound on CM9 rom? anyone agree with me?!

Best nightly rom

Hey guys,

I've been using the cm9 nightly since March, I saw that there are lot of changes between the 20120414 and 20120419. After those changes the Battery has been draining like hell, and I got FC in the Dolphin very often too.

Are you guys having the same problem with the builds between 20120419 <> 20120423?

I just do the cache wipe and not the full wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
If they can play a MP4 the odds are they can play 3GP as i said. MP4 is not a codec, it's a container. So it's the video inside the container that matters and in this case it's x264 in both cases. The container just slaps the video and audio files into 1 file and in some cases subtitles and extra audio languages (containers like MKV do that). Some people don't have say the "keys" to open the container to see the video inside surely but the case of 3GP and MP4 are similar that you can just rename the file to MP4 and it will work just the same as if it was originally MP4.
[Galaxy S II General] blinde:
I had bad battery life with 20120422 and it helped when I cleared data from mediaserver, it did the trick. Now battery life is like before in good times :)
[Galaxy S II General] onua444:
After recording, when you switch to camera mode for pictures, it FC...
[Galaxy S II General] Net.silb:
That's probably due to the change of the mount points of the storage. The best thing is to do a full wipe in CWM, alternatively you can try clearing the data of the media storage under Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear data.
[Galaxy S II General] sm0use:
This also happens to me. Tried replicating it but up to now just seems random.

Edit: Trying a full wipe tonight to see if it happens after
[Galaxy S II General] Rawi666:
