Saw this post a while back, thought it would be useful to address some points raised, and throw in my two pennies worth:

Don't know how many (if any) of the requested features will be included in a future update. If enough people want it, hopefully it may catch team hacksung's attention.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
No. Long-pressing power for 10-15 seconds should have forced a reboot, that's really strange. FYI the device must be unplugged when you do this or it'll enter charging mode.

Pulling the battery will wipe the logs.

It's off by default in any recent Sammy ROM. The user interface is crap - it's difficult to tell whether it's "off now" or "i'm turning it off".

If the other person can hear you when you talk into the earpiece instead of where the main mic is, it's ON. That's the current state of CM9 (libaudio seems to default to this state...)

If they can only hear you when you talk into the main mic, it's OFF.

How can I remove "phone fix" that brings the delete button to the bottom?

It looks kinda weird since the latest nightly. Search button moves 2-3 px up/down when swiping from phone to recent (log).

[Galaxy S II General] 1-0-1:
First time flash for me and it was a one hit success. Very impressive coming from the stock ROM. Had a semi full run on it during a normal working day. My e-mail sync and calender worked as expected and I did not have any weird lockups, crashes, slow-downs during the course of the day. Seems this is pretty stable for a nightly build so far.

I was just wondering if anybody also noticed the following or have any suggestions:

Cannot find macro shot option on the camera app

Facebook App sync does not work via 'Accounts and Sync'. The icon is there but it does nothing when I tab on it. I used the same App on my stock kernel and I could pull all my Facebook friends to my phone's contact list.

I like the size of the bottom homescreen icons but is there a way to make the bar scrollable and change the icon style?

Is there any plans to have a proxy setting for Wireless connections. Something does support basic authentication and NTLM as these are normaly the most popular authentication types around here.

Not a big issue but interesting to see that the Windhoek/Namibia timezone is not included (it is a godsend ability to automaticly daylight saving time change and not rely on the cellphone operator for accurate time). I guess this will be one of the low priority items included once it goes stable?

Anyway - seeing the type of work the developers are doing on something like this makes me regret not taking the application development route in IT :p
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
CRT off animation doesn't always work, has anyone been able to reproduce it systematically? Trying to get a log of it but it only happens when I'm not expecting it.

Also as mentionned by someone else, slide right to call and slide left to text in CM9 would be the only touchwiz feature I'd love to see ported. ;) I can live without it but I do miss it ever since I switched.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
- Macro option is in Camera - Go to settings then click three dots (menu) then choose Macro

- Facebook needs to update app to support ICS APIs. They were blocked because of API abuse with their old method :D

- Prolly use Apex for that - don't think that's a feature on the list.

- Proxy was in CM7 so i'm guessing it will get there for CM9

- Are you looking for the name of your timezone or your timezone offset as they should all be in there. I guess using your provider time should work for you too?
[Galaxy S II General] unease:
Answers:

1) [*]Cannot find macro shot option on the camera app : Go to Camera > Click on Settings Icon > Click On The 3 Dots Icon > Focus Mode > Toggle To Select Macro.

2) [*]Facebook App sync does not work via 'Accounts and Sync'. The icon is there but it does nothing when I tab on it. I used the same App on my stock kernel and I could pull all my Facebook friends to my phone's contact list. : Known Issue. Try http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24822568&postcount=24497

3) [*]I like the size of the bottom homescreen icons but is there a way to make the bar scrollable and change the icon style? : Not Possible in default launcher. Try Nova or Apex Launchers

4) Is there any plans to have a proxy setting for Wireless connections. Something does support basic authentication and NTLM as these are normaly the most popular authentication types around here. : Not Sure.

5) Not a big issue but interesting to see that the Windhoek/Namibia timezone is not included (it is a godsend ability to automaticly daylight saving time change and not rely on the cellphone operator for accurate time). : Hopefully in future.

[Galaxy S II General] 1-0-1:
Now that you mentioned it I also noticed it but it is so rare in my case. Cannot really determine under what conditions mine happens. I just switched on/off my screen for about half a minute and did not get it once but there were 2-4 occasions where it did not switch off during the day. As far as I can tell it was when I was switching the screen on/off in short succession.

Talking about this - is there a way to add other applications or is this buried to deep in the system to modify easily?

Bloody hell - thanks for that tip. I was there previously but tabbed the word and not the little arrow :/

Thanks will try later ...

Some of the mirrors are having issues, if your download isn't at least 118MB you probably got a bad download, try downloading it from the torrent or look back a few days in the thread and there should be working mirrors posted. If it seems like it's the right size, verify with the md5sum to ensure it's not corrupt.

I've actually come across this when I googled to see if it bothers anyone else, too.

I just thought in the meantime I'd just rename the file on the phone - that's what I do with the camera click sound(s).

I appreciate the fact that they consider to put in an option to disable the sound, but if anyone knows the location for the meantime I'd be happy to know. :)

auto/touch focus

I'm playing around with the camera tonight, and noticed that the auto and touch focus does not focus correctly.

If I have 2 objects some distance behind eachother I would expect to be able to selectavely focus on either the front or back object.

Now when I tap the front object to focus on it i can see that the camera searches for the correct focus distance, it then completely misses it and stops the focus way of. there is definately enough light and the focus square turns green (as if the focus was good) but it is in actual fact not focusing on the point i touched

Anyone else getting this?

GPS better in CM9 0417?

CM9 0417 has some GPS changes

EXTERNAL_LNA=0

FREQUENCY_AIDING=1

SENSOR_AIDING=1

ICS_NETWORK_OPERATOR=1

EMC_ENABLE=1

I had CM9 0404 and time to fix took long-er(worked). but now I think I takes lot less - 5-15sec and more satelites.

Edit: I'm i777 not i9100 :-( but for i9100 it was CM9 0414 change.

[Galaxy S II General] diaperboy:
So I always thought that I had stubby fingers or such, but I've noticed that there is some sort of an issue when switching the mobile data power widget on and off while the wifi power widget is turned on as well. For example. 1. I enable wifi through the power widget 2. Switch the mobile data power widget to on 3. After I don't need the mobile data anymore (its sometimes needed to receive mms) I try disabling mobile data through the power widget and even when it has been disabled it still shows that it is on (on the power widget) but if go to the settings. Its indicates that it has been disabled. Is it just me that this is happening to, it would be great if anyone could reconfirm this

ANOTHER BUG that I think I've found while looking through the power widget options to chose from, I noticed that there was a "WIMAX" option. I wasn't sure what it was but its displayed as a 4g symbol. I tried toggling it to see what it might do. But it wouldn't work. And then I long pressed on the widget, which should bring up an option menus related to that feature. But I simply got this error "Unfortunately, system UI has been stopped"

Causing the UI to crash.

The same goes for this bug, is it just me?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
WiMax is a 4G implementation used in North America primarily by Sprint in the US, the GT-I9100 doesn't have the appropriate hardware for this mode and that's probably why it crashed your SystemUI when you tried to change options for it.

Dont think Setup Wizard is part of CM, more like part of GApps unless i'm tinking wrong. I remember seeing it when it was changed prolly 4 weeks ago, i think that's the new 3/17 Gapps have that. An older one says something else IIRC.

Could someone have a look at this log and tell me why my wifi constantly drops and reconnects? It's a long log, but it shows the problem several times. I notice Picasa is mentioned a few times. Does this mean anything? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] wltklah:
Had a kernel panic just now. Just right before the kernel panic, there was a WIFI stuck issue. Tried turn it on, but it hanged. So I toggled to fly safe mode and toggled back. Tried to enable WIFI again, but still hanged. So I turned off my screen for a short while, and after I turned on my screen I see the kernel panic message. I am on 0414 nightly.

[Galaxy S II General] blinde:
What for do you exactly need next build? Doesn't everything work just fine?

I can't understand this nonsense with waiting for new build. Pretty much every nightly has been like the previous since they got videocamera to work. Of course there's lots of tweaks in changelog but I bet you don't notice those and you would not know the difference between nightilies if I change dates.

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I've built it from source over the last couple of days that there hasn't been an official nightly, and while I do notice the changes, mostly because I looked for them to confirm my builds were working, I wouldn't say any of them are going to make any difference to the daily operation of the ROM for 99.9% of users.
[Galaxy S II General] cloak:
Hi Codeworkx,

The list of changes is becoming quite impressive now. Could you please push the button? I think when the list is becoming too long and a new bug occurred, it could be a hard way to find out which changement, or number of changements is triggering that bug.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Just because there are no public nightly builds doesn't mean that builds aren't happening, and like I said in my above post, most of the changes don't affect the user experience on the GT-I9100 at all, I bet if I posted the 0414 build with just the build dates changed, one of two things would happen, either nobody would notice a difference, or people would come here and post 'omg so much bettar!' which given that nothing really changed would be only a new nightly placebo effect.
[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
Any takers on this one?

sorry for the double post, but its quite irritating not being able to focus correctly
[Galaxy S II General] cloak:
That's true, but on the other hand, waiting too long giving it to the public could introduce new problems. Some problems will be triggerd by (bad built) apps and the test team cannot install all the publiced
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Ok, but if Codeworkx, teamhacksung crew or the CM crew felt there was a difference that needed testing, they would probably have put a new built up, right? You don't have to believe me, but I'd think you'd believe them. Also, they are doing some changes to how all CM nightlies are built, which may be why there hasn't been one.
[Galaxy S II General] eranda84:
Yes, everything works fine. I didn't say anything don't work. ROM working likes butter. But Don't you have eyes to see next build changelog in below page

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2

I'm talking about that, But not the nonsense. :p
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
What of that stuff is for GS2? other than a couple of code changes in the phone and mms packages (stuff you'd never notice if it wasn't in) the rest is for devices or features that aren't used on our phone, so why does it matter? That change log shows GS2 specific stuff and also any upstream changes that are put in any generic package regardless of whether the feature is actually used on the GS2 or not.

what do you mean older ?

use the latest one from the market

in theory , you should restore your apps wothout problems . i used it to restore most of my apps + their data and i did not have any issues

ofcourse , there could be some issues if you restore system apps/data ( like sms, dialer history etc ) . I did not try on cm9 and i don't know what to tell you

If you are coming from another rom i would certainly not recommend to restore histories or system app/data

[Galaxy S II General] 4qu4rius:
Nothing like this on my side. I would suggest you check your apps. (those who have root access would be my first target, I guess)

Does your battery seemingly goes back up to reclaim some of those 20% after the reboot ? If yes that's normal and somewhat expected, if I remember correctly.

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

It's an update to the specific software that controls your radio chip for GSM, 3G ...

We are never _required_ to. But they are supposed to improve over time, so the new ones may connect better/faster than the old ones and/or drain less battery.

Android OS high usage

Hello,

It seems I've got the same problem than a lot of people here :

My Android OS is taking a huge part in my battery usage and I don't know what to do to fix it (seems that every problem with Android OS is unique).

I've installed CM9 since 2 days and each nights, I'm loosing around 5% battery in plane mod because of Android OS not allowing my phone to get into sleep.

Android OS was, on 24 hours at around 50% battery usage on the 20% lost.

I don't have BBS (which is not free, right?).

If someone could give me some advices to fix this problem, I'd be thankful :)
[Galaxy S II General] 4qu4rius:
CM9 already has what's needed to play with CPU frequency, I beleive, and I remember a couple of people on this thead saying that SetCPU on top of the CP settings was doing more harm than good.
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
If you're not having any connectivity/data issue with the modem you're currently using, don't change it. I'm still using an old GB modem (KJ1) with CM9 having tested all the "L" modems & this gives me the best connectivity.

Only flash/test new modems if you're having problems with data, connectivity/reception or battery drain you can't pin down on something else/if it's apparent your phone is struggling to keep a strong signal/in touch with a nearby tower easily(again, battery drain you can't pin on something else could be symptomatic of this).
