No, i figured it would do the factory reset itself
[Galaxy S II General] Reed-Sternberg:
I flashed back cm9 thru odin, which works BTW, and did factory reset. Flashed back the stock firmware, still stays on boot animation. Any help please?
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
I think you also need to flash a CSC file with the ROM... I also got a bootloop while flashing only the ROM, but when I flashed it with the csc and modem, it worked.... you can find the whole package in samfirmware.com......
[Galaxy S II General] Reed-Sternberg:
Thanks a million, i had not done the format/system. That was the problem. U saved me buddy.
[Galaxy S II General] Reed-Sternberg:
Thanks, the problem was the format/system though. I appreciate your care nonetheless
[Galaxy S II General] EhsanCh:
i know i sholdn't ask for eta, but im very interesting to know about CM9 development state... can we expect to have a stable version in next 2 week or next 30 days ?
[Galaxy S II General] :
How do you arrange apps in drawer without proper settings or laggy launcher apps and is there anyway to make drawer transparent and I want clock on homescreen same as on lockscreen is there way to do that? I would really appreciate answers.
[Galaxy S II General] gGabi:
i'm on the latest nightly and i still experience the home button wake-up bug.

presing the home button to wake up the phone will cause recent window to pop-up. I remember that this bug was solved some nightlies ago. well, it still happens, but rare. Now i was searching something on play store and when the screen turned off, i waited a couple of seconds, pressed home button... recent windows pops up.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Glad its all sorted mate.

You're very welcome. ;)

To be quite frank.

No one is going to answer this question seriously. Specially because its been asked a multitude of times, and 2 RC versions have already been released. So if you don't want to use the Nightlys (development versions, as you put it) then use one of the RC ones.
[Galaxy S II General] gGabi:
if you know you should't ask, then don't ask. :confused: nobody knows when the stable version will be out, except cm team.

I don't think it is possible to do all of these with the stock launcher, try a new launcher from play store. try go launcher, or apex...

and for the clock widget, search a clock widget on play store and choose the one you like.

Hi guys, i got this issue this week...the airplane mode activates from time to time, i dont know why but now i need to check my S2 every time...is very annoying.

Do you have any clue to fix this problem?...tnx
[Galaxy S II General] peterlan:
I am on CM9 since yesterday, and a couple of hours ago I noticed the same, airplane mode was activated by it self.
[Galaxy S II General] churchi:
Hi All,

Im running CM9 Nightly (27/07) and i have just wiped my data to start fresh.

I am sure there was an option to set a schedule for checking e-mail on my phone during Peak and Off peak hours before i wiped my phone. I was after the setting to have a certain time set during the day and a certain time set for after hours. Just wondering if there was this setting before, (i hope im not going crazy). If there was could someone tell me how to access it please?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] fragel:
Me too, there is some problem with 27 and 28 (same). I had to install another kernel (fluxi) for to flash properly... may be the Recovery still bad?

[Galaxy S II General] reactor_sa:
I'm running nightly 2012-07-27 stock as-is. After I leave the phone for awhile, when I try wake it up the screen doesn't respond to touch inputs so I have to press the power button a few times and give it about 10 seconds before the screen touch wakes up. Any idea what the problem is? Its only since the last week or so of nighly roms.

I'm going to try latest siyah kernel to see if that helps, otherwise I will be changing back to samsung LPO with cf-root.... :(
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
Search, this has been discussed in length! It's the Wifi driver, change your Wifi policy to "Always on"
[Galaxy S II General] MaKTaiL:
I was having this problem too, but the funny thing is that it only started happening once the battery was 50% or below.

Anyway, I changed to Always On and it's all good now. I hope this gets fixed soon.
[Galaxy S II General] Syrellaris:
So i flashed my phone through odin with the ressurection edition, then updated it through CWM to CM9 RC2. Now I am wondering, can i safely replace the kernal with the Siyah one?
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Yeah, go ahead and flash the latest version. Keep in mind that once you're on that kernel, you'll get no support for your problems in this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] reactor_sa:
Thanks bud, took some searching but found the setting. Didn't even realise the wifi wasn't always on.
[Galaxy S II General] developersiyahno:
but this is only for when i turn screen off when wifi is on right?
[Galaxy S II General] alexandruvlad:
Hello

Phone freezes / reboots when i get called (sometimes) - might this be because of the WiFi "Always On" aspect? Never tested...

Can someone advise anything for that? I was thinking for a fresh install (with full wipe / factory reset)

Any special steps for that knowing that this is CyanogenMod?

Can i use Titanium Backup to restore the app i'd backup before the wipe?

Thanks a lot (in advance!)
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/Experimental:GT-I9100:Frequently_Asked_Questions

Titanium Backup

Not supported but works for some apps and not for others. Mileage varies so don't complain if things break because you use it.
[Galaxy S II General] Socotroco:
Ir works fine, after indtalling and ran it I haven't seen the wakelock again. Ir works for S2 too.

Install betterbatterystats from the market (paid) or the lite version from xda to see what wakelocks you're experiencing.

Hi.

Can I use CM10 kernel with CM9?

I think it's build on update6.

[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
No you can't. Why would you?
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Jeez
[Galaxy S II General] Fr33L4nc3r:
Sure, if you want to bootloop.

What makes you think a kernel for JB would be any better than the one for your android version (ICS) ? ...
[Galaxy S II General] lynx2k50:
Don't know.

Thought it is based on update 6 which are kernel sources for ICS.

That's why I am thinking I could flash it.

And yes I think it would make everything faster, better, sexier and also I could get a 12mp camera with quad core.

No, for real I think it's a newer build.

Why is it necessary to answer a question and ask a question again? Who get it?

Something that's bothering me is;

In Gallery, start slideshow. The phone will dim and lock itself after the set time in pref. I can't press the screen all the time cause that will abort the slideshow, and I have to start the slideshow from the beginning again. Is it meant to be like this or is it a problem with "Media Storage"? Can anyone confirm that the screen will NOT stay alive while in a slideshow?
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
Update 6 kernel sources are for 4.0.4, not JB. Siyah is built from them. There's a difference between the two Android versions on some level beyond simply the aesthetic. As the previous poster said. You could use it, but you'll get a bootloop. It won't work. It's not that easy.
[Galaxy S II General] fede_79:
I am interested too...
[Galaxy S II General] :
Try the stock Gallery from CM9 package. So awesome, reduced my Media server %, card stack animation while scrolling photos. See if it will fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
What?? I am using the stock Gallery apk that came with the CM9 zip...
[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
For me it´s working fine, without enter em lock screen.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
When you flash gapps after flashing the rom the CM gallery app gets replaced with the gallery app from Google.
[Galaxy S II General] malhor:
You should Blame the devs instead. They write these apps, not google .

Malhor
[Galaxy S II General] :
Isn't the Gallery from Google Apps? There are 2 Galleries, the one from the CM9 zip [Gallery2.apk] and the one from Google Apps [GalleryGoogle.apk]. Use Gallery2.apk and see if it solves the problem. It's pretty awesome, don't have picasa sync but also Media server usage is lower [don't ask me why]. I think you are using the one from Google Apps, just like many people. It's been just 2 days since I'm using the Gallery2.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Now I replaced it with Gallery2.apk. Still it dims down and locks itself in slideshow. But I like the lightweight Gallery2.apk. Where can I see what apps are replaced when flashing gapps?

[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
doesn't help much as 2 people in the UK, London with "Average Usage" can use 2 different apps and one has tons of issues while the other is fine. The point was for you to try it out and see what works for you. Nobody can tell you what works for you.
[Galaxy S II General] jaba_cz:
Not ready for daily use

I made a try with 24 Jan version.

Full wipe, install from scratch with LP6 modem.

I do not mention obvious bugs like video etc.

Experienced issues:

- Verrrrrrrrry slow GPS fix, seems like AGPS does not apply. Even edit of gps.cong to my region did not help.

- Battery drain - from full to 15% alert in 5 hours, mostly in the pocket, while I was working at my regular duties.

- Bluetooth file transfer (FTP) does not work even with app which enables it with CM7

- Almost every app other than Trebuchet with visibly slow display refresh.

At least the GPS and battery drain are full stoppers for me.

Restored previous CM7 version.

No compliant, it's experimental. Just report of real experience.

Next try in about a month? :rolleyes::D
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Does Root Explorer do the same ?

ADB from recovery, how, do I do pull instead of push :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Sure you havent got a dodgy app or not changed Some settings. Battery was never that bad on previous releases when i tried it!
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
What are you hoping to do, adb doesn't work in the newest 1/24 build for me. I tried via recovery and booted android. I can get it to see the device in recovery however but it seems like adb can't mount it so I can't get to edit anything in there.
[Galaxy S II General] jaba_cz:
Probably not. It was really install from scratch after full wipe. I did not have much time before leaving to work, so I made only basic install, turned off haptic feedback and set tones, set Exchange server sync to have contacts and in place and jumped to real life. :)

I planed to make more tuning and app install after work in the evening.
[Galaxy S II General] berlom@free.fr:
no it isn't in charge or usb connectd.

I had deepsleep until this build, i'll try to re install then full wipe if it doesn't work
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Your excange server could have hung up or something else. If you are getting something that extreme that isn't being reported 500 times in 10 pages then it's a problem with your device. Usually that's as a result of some program causing a wake lock and not allowing the device to sleep.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
I just want to copy to internal SDcard the ROM that I downloaded to my PC, I am using BT, it takes time, but it does the job... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] BackfireNL:

[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
adb (and thus qtadb) works perfectly fine for me

GPS seems to be dead like previous builds though. ah well.
[Galaxy S II General] navodwickra:
JESUS !

assuming you have setup Droid Explorer porperly

1. reboot to recovery

2. mount & storage -> mount sdcard, mount emmc

3. run droid explorer

4. copy/delete/paste do what ever you want to do

SDCARD -> /SDCARD

EXTERNAL SD -> /EMMC
[Galaxy S II General] jaba_cz:
Maybe, who knows :)

I need my shiny black box as daily assistant. I tried the CM9 after reading this forum. I seemed to be almost stable, of course with some known video bugs, which are not critical for me. I tried ... and failed.

I have other hobbies in my life than shuffle with unknown issues in the ROM. :rolleyes:

Understand it as warning for other man, who are eager for ICS (it's really nice), but do not want to spend many hours with fighting mysterious bugs. :)

That's all.

Looking forward to next trial :D

CM9 Nightly 30-07-2012 mirror:

Sendspace link!
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yeah, I liked it too. Card Stack animation is awesome.

At the gapps zip, open the update-script and look at the delete line

delete("/system/app/Gallery2.apk","/system/app/Provision.apk","/system/app/QuickSearchBox.apk","/system/app/PlusOne.apk","/system/app/Vending.apk");

Those are the deleted apps. Provision is replaced by SetupWizard, QuickSearchBox is replaced by GoogleQuickSearchBox, PlusOne is replaced... well, by nothing, and Vending is replaced by Phonesky [useless, they could just overwriten Vending]

edit: and stock Gallery2, replaced by GalleryGoogle.

CM9 Photo Studio editing issues

Since I've installed CM9 nightly builds (few months back) - the built-in photo editor app's effects are just drawing "circles" or rectangles with weird colors, instead of doing the wanted photo effect.

For example: here is the original picture, and then trying to use the Lomo effect or the Vignette effect. (All other effects are the same)

Anyone have an idea about fixing this?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
Hi,

I guess it's a bit related to CM9 so I will try to reply>

Is that not normal that "circle"? It seems to be the "area" where the effect will apply. I'm guessing that its only after you save that the effect is applied. Maybe I am incorrect, I haven't tried that (phone is not with me at the moment).

So I am suggesting that maybe there's no preview but the effect will be applied, after save.

Otherwise, have you tried googling for a tutorial? ( I tried but I have not enough keywords such as the exact name of your "default application".

EDIT: yep, look at 1.44:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1qp3ZJW4FQ

It's the "vignette" circle, you can extend it or reduce it, and the effect will be applied accordingly (probably different meaning with every effects).

Well... a quick private message would have avoided to pollute this nice thread, especially that my "quoting post" was just an attempt to help.

Hey, at least I did not talked about Siyah, random app, cm10, jelly bean, or whatever unrelated crap :laugh:.

Anyway, to be back on topic, is there any "update" to the issue with CWM 6 and the SD card inverted?

I did not see any fixes in the Change logs (1st page) so maybe a quick note could be added to the 1st post ?

Would be great so we have a clear status of the situation.

PS: I searched also and followed the topic about the guy who got his SD wiped out and tried to recover, I just could not find the post saying issue resolved.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Don't know about the SD card inverted issue, but SD card isn't wiped anymore when using backup and restore options.
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
No there is a bug, the effects only work in the small circle area which is not resizable and the saved pictures look like the preview. It's definitely not the intended behaviour. The bug report for this issue is here: code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=5708

[Galaxy S II General] :
Guys, something bad just happened. Don't know if it's a coincidence with RIL fail. I've received a call, and when I've answered, my phone slipped off my hand and felt down to the ground. It was a 1/4 meter, I think. Suddenly, I've got Unknown baseband, no signal. It's very freaking stange. Does anyone hava an idea?
[Galaxy S II General] Nemtor:
I agree. Its kinda sad...
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
Did you reboot?

Did your phone break? :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yep/Nop

Got it fixed, just waited a long time to fix it. I can now think that those Unknown baseband errors can be caused by a fall, or something. Like some hardware bad fixed, or just fixed
[Galaxy S II General] noastick:
Have a doubt that couldn't find when searching:

I buy a SGS2 with stock GB, then install Speedmod kernel with ODIN [this way i get cwm and root]. Then, can I directly install CM9 resurrection edition from there? Or do I need another kernel? And what so if i want to install a JB rom? Can I keep the kernel from this rom?
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Download the latest nightly from get.cm, gapps zip and resurrection edition and keep the nightly and gapps zip in your internal SD card, flash the resurrection edition (via Odin), after which your phone will enter recovery. Flash the two zips (nightly and gApps), reboot into CM9.

To flash JB (CM10) follow the instructions in the OP of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29280423

And no, you can't use stock ICS kernel on jb...
[Galaxy S II General] noastick:
So before flashing JB, I should flash with Odin the new Speedmod kernel for ICS?
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
No need if you have a working cwm. First flash the resurrection edition of CM9, then install CM10 and GApps. PM me if you're installing CM10 and have a problem. Currently the thread for cm10 is locked, so you can't ask questions there.
[Galaxy S II General] noastick:
I asked that caused (quoting you) "And no, you can't use stock ICS kernel on jb... ", I thought I should change kernel before flashing CM10.

What did you mean then?
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
CM10 kernel is with the ROM.... just flash the ROM and the kernel is also flashed automatically... its bundled with the ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] noastick:
Gotcha! Thanks! Hope CM10 gets back online soon :d
[Galaxy S II General] donkeyhitman:
Actually, if your goal is to get CM10 from GB, just download CM10 and GApps and put them in your internal sdcard. Then flash CM9 Resurrection with Odin. Then reboot back to Recovery and flash CM10 and GApps, factory reset and enjoy CM10.
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
The thread has reopened.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
After several months of RIL crashes, thinking it was bug in CM9, I completely gave up trying every possible fix.

One fine day, thanks to entropy's advice, I tried a GB modem(KI4) and no crashes since then for past 1month.

Thanks to CM10, this thread has less attention and finally some peace in here.

Ohh.. SNAP :p

If you took a look at the picture. The battery is reporting 1%, but the mV is 3598.

That is wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] :
And? 0% doesn't mean 0mV. mV isn't the actual charge, but voltage. Just like you can't use 25MHz [cpu step] with some damn low voltage like 100mV.
[Galaxy S II General] bettypayne:
Anyone flashed the latest nightly while running RC2 without any problems? Read about some problems in the earlier pages?
[Galaxy S II General] currway:
I've also faced this exact problem. Browsers , Google play , works fine. Whatsapp messages doesn't get sent or received.

Problem rectified by checking if you have selected the correct 3G internet APN , or if the APN settings have been messed. Google for the correct APN settings for your mobile service provider.
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
it's a release candidate so it nearly always have bugs! (what you call "problems"). There's no real "stable version" yet, but either on the RC2 or on the recent nightlies it's mostly rare bugs and very stable!

Still using a nightly from June and hardly encountered any bug.

Finally, your comment is slightly annoying (for me, at least): it's clearly defined that it-s not a stable release so asking if it has bug seems against this thread philosophy. You try it and that's all!

Especially that there's a list of "known issue" and "change logs" at first page.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Hey thanks! "SD inverted" was a bad description of what you mentioned: I meant to say "internal SD= external SD and external SD=internal SD"...

So the issue of wiping out your SD using backup and restore...

Strange I haven't seen that fix in the change logs...:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] unreal64:
Yes! Do not use the CWM recovery to make a nandroid backup because it erased some user's sdcard! I think it is quite dangerous(for the sake of your data) to flash a ROM without a proper backup so I suggest you to save your personal data (like SMS and some apps data) in other ways..

Several users reported that latest nightly has no more this kind of bug ;)
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Change logs will not say "fixed issue where storage got wiped on backup & restore" as it isn't a CM issue but a CWM issue which has since been fixed by its developer & the lastest version has been merged into CM.
[Galaxy S II General] ajislav:
I have the same concern: how to go safely from RC2 to [whatever newer version], with a backup. I believe someone reported that cwm in rommanager worked for them ( should work as it is still cwm version 5).

Somewhat surprising there is no official solution, given that this is the version to be used if you want to report bugs.

OT: I also enjoy the calm in this thread :)
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
RC2 works fine, the bug with cwm was introduced in a nightly since the release candidate, and fix in a further nightly. Recovery on RC2 has no problems
