Wouldn't flashing the latest CM9 Nightly also re-flash kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] donkeyhitman:
He basically conceded to that in the first half of the first sentence. He's just giving another option to avoid reflashing the whole rom.
[Galaxy S II General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Try a different DPI :p .. I use 185 no probs
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Nexus Prime is the next phone off the rumor mill, I think. The next JELLYBEAN PHONE... Sigh.

***Edit*** I stand corrected...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_Prime

Was a name for the Galaxy Nexus before launch. Might be recycled for the next google phone...
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Had a look at the SMSC issue.

There is no!

If you set your SMSC number using the correct format, everything is fine even after reboots.

[Galaxy S II General] cez10:
Ooo cool changed to 182 and works fine lol thanks man :)
[Galaxy S II General] njwest:
Just read about this ROM for the SGS2, based on CM9. I'd never leave my belovéd Cyanogenmod, but I don't know if anybody else would like to test it.
[Galaxy S II General] Kendoji:
I'm also really interested in the possibility of USB DAC - maybe we need a separate thread for that, so it doesn't get buried here?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
There are and it won't. Just wait for the confirmation that it works (or does not).
[Galaxy S II General] d3ck4rd:
No

Undervolting

guys just want things clear for me..

is undervolting kernel dependent?coz in gingerbread using siyah my undervolt value there makes my phone crash in CM9..
[Galaxy S II General] Vaedryn:
Undervolt bring you not more than 5% battery with ideal settings but it makes you're phone unstable, why using UV. Bull**** in my eyes. The result is not enough to use it.

Placebo.

Cyanogen (mod) 9
[Galaxy S II General] BoneMo:
how much space 182dpi adds ?? could you please provide screenshot....because i cannot imagine the difference between 240 and 182
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Wouldn't say that. I undervolting you phone so much that it gets unstable is bull****, but you don't have to go so far.

For me it was just applying it in SetCPU and live with it, because I've never had such problems after finding the correct voltages.

You have to find them yourself tho. Each device is a little bit different and the only way to ensure all devices are stable, is to set rather high voltages (Samsung). Especially the high clock rates above 1 GHz, have a high undervolting potential.

Besides that it would be cool if a see 100 mhz support in cm9 soon.
[Galaxy S II General] boggsterman:
will give it another go and report back, busy reinstalling CM9 now for the purpose of getting logs so it will be a win-win either way. If it works, it works, if not then i will get you logs to show whats going wrong...
[Galaxy S II General] antonyfl:
has anyone noticed that when scrolling, you hold your finger down the screen starts jittering?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
You don't say o_O

Tried pulling the notification bar halfway down?

It's a known issue that the touchscreen isn't perfectly smooth yet.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Undervolting depends on the Kernel which controls the CPU. So You'll need a kernel that supports that. ICS is new and doesn't support most of that for now. Actually scratch that - i think it was added to the 4/09 build but don't come complaining if it crashes :D
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
Its just the touchscreen sensors reacting to ur skin/finger/thumb, panic over ;)
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
The way i read it is that 100mhz actually uses more power than 200mhz because of the scaling and the way the CPU was designed. Therefore odd clocks will cause the CPU to constantly fluctuate between a upper and lower range of the requested clock and never allow it to sleep properly
[Galaxy S II General] kamelot.sk:
My mobile data connection drops very often. Then I have to switch to airplane mode and back/reboot/turn wifi on&off to get it working again.

It also happend on Samsung LPQ ROM.

Currently I'm on CM9 0409 and LPS modem (also tried LPQ and LPR with same results).

What can be cause of this problem? It's very annoying. My two years old HTC Desire is OK on same carrier (Telekom SK). Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II General] cammel:
I already tested it and its great, a little bit smoother I think, and with more customization options. But I find standard cm9 to be more stable, so came back here again.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Can anyone confirm this? Would be good to know.
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
Yep Shotta is correct.

100mhz uses slightly more juice than 200mhz. Been discussed in the Siyah threads a heap of times. Search both the Siyah GB & ICS dev threads & you'll find the technical explanations why; most recently was discussed in ICS thread ~ a week ago.
[Galaxy S II General] mavishow:
exactly. I agree
[Galaxy S II General] shr33kant:
Confirmed, same issue. Also seems to happen with Siyah kernel... But not NEAK.. Since Siyah is now using the CM9 touch setting it might point to a kernel issue. In fact I remember gokhanmoral saying he set some threshold too high because he tested it while his phone was plugged in.

[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
If lower frequencies mean more battery drain, do higher frequencies mean less battery drain?

1,6 GHz all teh time!!!!1!
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Yup. The classic rule-of-thumb of power consumption being proportional to clock frequency is invalidated once you take cpuidle into account. cpuidle can turn off the clock when the CPU is idle at a minimum, and can even power off parts of the core to reduce static leakage.

As an example, supposed you have a workload that is 40% of the CPU at 200 MHz (hence 80% at 100) - With basic cpuidle (just the IDLE state), it means that at 200 MHz, the clock is on 40% of the time, and when at 100 MHz, it's on 80% of the time. So if the voltage is the same, the overall power consumption is the same.

When you take into account deeper idle states like LPA and AFTR - 200 MHz can actually save you power by completely shutting off parts of the CPU during idle periods.

See Section 6 of the paper Ezekeel linked below. It's fairly old, but the basic idea still is valid - there's a minimum frequency below which underclocking is pointless if cpuidle is working.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21785924#post21785924

For this reason, I can't speak for codeworkx, but I have no intention of ever adding 100 MHz support - it's pointless.

Next on my list is Mali 3-step. The interface will likely be slightly different from gokhan's, i have a few changes I want to make.

Edit: One thing - Reducing clock is beneficial at higher frequencies where the voltage increases with clock speed. But the voltage savings for 100 vs. 200 is not enough to make up for the negative effects. 200 vs. 500 is REALLY close - enough that most people will see little to no negative effects from setting a minimum of 500 when the screen is on.
[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
@Codeworkx

Okay, got a bunch of logs for you... hope they help

they all in the attached zip

3 boot logs included

logcat and logcat -b radio included for sending sms before and after setsmsc as well as for setsmsc
[Galaxy S II General] boggsterman:
@codeworkx

OK i am a complete retard and i have been trying to figure out this log thing, with mild success. Problem is pastebin says it's too large to post, so i could post the stuff on dropbox perhaps but we'll see. Anyway, similar behavious but not exactly the same:

1) Try send sms without entering smsc - RIL crashes until message is deleted

2) Go to secret menu and follow instructions given - this time it show nearly all my smsc number (used to only show 00) when pressing refresh button, but last few digits are not there.

3) Enter the remaining few digits and hit update - seems fine

4) Send sms again - and it works

5) reboot phone to test things.....

6) try to send sms - same outcome as step 1
[Galaxy S II General] Periperi:
Hey man. Did this manage to work for you? Im still having issues, though go sms is a fine replacement...
[Galaxy S II General] kamelot.sk:
from logcat this seems to be most related to this issue (in my opinion)

I tried it with my E7 and a USBOTG cable connected to a micro USB cable. The E7 actually charges from the SG2 but no sound.

It may be that it is the incorrect cable combination, I have one one the way from HK but that will be weeks!

Keen to find out.

USB AUDIO PLEASE CODEWORKX ! :)

Battery

I konw that are a few issues remaining.

But the major issue is the battery drain.

When I bought S2 back in August was in 2.3.3.

The battery sucks. But when updated to 2.3.4 and after 2.3.6 it was good.

I wonder, currently the battery is a 2.3.3 stock level. I tried to follow instructions, calibrate, leave a rom for a week to see the battery improve and after all this, still get only 10-15 hours battery.

I'm no heavy user, but uses 3g, e-mail, a few calls during the day.

I think CM9 is awesome, but needs improvement about battery life.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
Indeed, the SMSC number is saved.

On the hidden menu there is the "Refresh" and "Update" buttons. When tapping the "Refresh" button it succesfully populates the textfield with the correct SMSC number. Hitting "Update" then successfully updates it again.

SMS's work fine then.

So the problem is not that the SMSC number gets lost, because it definately does not. But its only after a "Refresh" -> "Update" when the sending of sms's work

Makes sence
[Galaxy S II General] boggsterman:
Ok, retardation has hopefully ended now. So i looked through those logcats that were just posted and noticed just like me that the smsc number is stuck at 12 digits rather than 16. The difference is however that after entering the smsc number correctly, on mine the smsc correctly becomes 16 digits, whereas with @fstof it seems to stay stuck at 12 even after entering the correct code. Anyway, you are the dev and i am the simpleton so i will stop trying to dissect this and see if you would be willing to take a look at them. Thank you so much if you do. Kind regards!
[Galaxy S II General] kmelkon:
battery life

my battery has been draining insanely fast and just now i noticed that the processor is set on ONDEMAND but stays at 1200 MHz and thats after the 4/02 nightly i guess .. is it ok ?
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
CM9 needs no improvement in battery life - you need improvement in your ability to diagnose battery drain sources. You haven't looked at wakelocks, you haven't even bothered to look at your battery usage stats!

I'm getting better battery performance than I did in Gingerbread even with a heavily tweaked kernel. (most of this is due to ICS having a superior cpuidle driver...)

Obviously you have an app eating your battery.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
ondemand is fine. get betterbatterystats and check what background process eats your battery
[Galaxy S II General] kmelkon:
Obviously you have an app eating your battery.[/QUOTE]

i guess not cuz i just rebooted it and nothing was running and not even one app open and it was on 1200 Mhz and i wasnt even touching the thing :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Nitsson:
Installed the 20120402 nightly just before Easter and what a change from Gingerbread! Did a complete wipe of everything, including removing the lot from both internal and external cards, along installing all apps the manual way and only then restoring data with TB. Overall very sleek and fast too, with not a single force close despite using a good 30 different apps. I can finally use folders that look and work nice. Did I already say *finally*? This cannot be understated. Organisation under Gingerbread was a joke which made me long for iOS every day. Also love the new Gmail app. Very impressed so a big thanks to the team – I previously tried CM7 which I promptly uninstalled.

A few questions though:

1. Battery time is worse than GB by quite a bit, but I’ve read that Siyah would address that. Anyone know if that’s correct? Version 3.0.1 seems pretty polished. I don’t overclock, just want a simple and stable kernel.

2. How can I remove that overly flashy boot animation? I’d prefer to have just the Samsung Galaxy logo, that’s part of the ROM, until the boot is complete. Simple is beautiful.

3. Not a big fan of the dialer – is this is the vanilla ICS version? I much preferred what Samsung included under GB. Can I use that?

4. Also not a big fan of the clock/alarm app – is there an alternative that takes the apple approach including a world clock, alarm, stop watch and timer all-in-one. Again, what Samsung included under GB was good (though the iOS version is better).

Any feedback is much appreciated
[Galaxy S II General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
This^^

I just hit over 40hrs with very light usage.. on a busy day 12hrs MINIMUM.
[Galaxy S II General] Nitsson:
Actually it was like that from the start; didn't install any apps for 6 hours using only the Gmail app. Even then the battery was worse; not terrible mind you, just worse.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Just because you didn't start something doesn't mean something isn't going to run at bootup. Plenty of apps start on boot when they have no reason to.

[Galaxy S II General] TheIncredibleMachine:
Well, actually there were no specific changes or fixes for the GS2 version of CM9, and but there were changes to the ICS source, which makes it a different build than 0106. I stopped running 0110 anyway after about 5 random reboots in half an hour.
[Galaxy S II General] kattyvo:
Through these programs use already ... It's not really possible via USB? I use windows 7

well i checked and everything seems normal ... and ill get the betterbatterystats soon .... any other idea ?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I'll miss this thread, but even though my SGS2 is gone I'll keep this thread in my subscriptions. There's definitely some really good info, hell I've just finished reading the last 50 or so pages. I must admit that the trolling pages were quite amusing. It's still funny you still talk about battery life so much, it was pretty consistent to me and I'm sure it isn't just me.
[Galaxy S II General] kmelkon:
yeah i know that .. and i checked whats eating my batter and everything seems normal :confused:

thanks alot .. any other idea ?
[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
Okay, my SMSC number has always been 12 digits... (059172281991) which translates to +27829119
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
Did you download BetterBatteryStats and check both partial and kernel wakelocks? Looking in Battery settings won't tell you much.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Is it possible to have a clipboard like you do in stock samsung ROMs? The thing is that when in UC browser and try to paste anything you will see clipboard option. It would be nice if same thing can be implemented through out the system.
[Galaxy S II General] Nitsson:
I'll actually try BetterBatteryStats as well, it's cheap. Running it now.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
CM9 battery life is no worse than Stock ICS. It actually feels a bit better too, but since we have no way of accurately benchmarking battery life, it's hard to prove. It's definitely not worse than stock though.

I can compare because last two days I'm running stock LPS ROM because of the unlocking with home button unlock brings up recent apps bug. I'm now checking out the latest nightly to see if it's fixed. Will post the result here.
[Galaxy S II General] Nitsson:
[Q] Three questions about CM9

actually it's free ;O

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

not fixed :( only workaround is to set display off and display lock to the same time i.e. 20 seconds
[Galaxy S II General] boggsterman:
Ah but in those instructions codeworkx posted and in the ones I have used previously they should be 16 digits no?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
What build?
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
problem is when your screen is off but the phone isn't locked (pattern, swipe to unlock whatever) and you push home button to light up the screen again the recent apps show up, like it would when you long press the home button
[Galaxy S II General] Nitsson:
Haha, thanks! That was within 15 minutes so I got a refund. You get a thanks for that :D Go xda.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
try to disable usb charging in e7's settings.

does the phone give you any kind of confirmation that a device or otg cable got detected?
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
You can set different time values for screen off and screen locked. i do that to avoid having to enter my pattern all the time when i leave the phone unattended for some seconds yet the screen goes of to save some battery.

as i said earlier this bug will only show up when these values are less then equal.
[Galaxy S II General] Hawlery:
yep same for me too. I even tried doing it with no lockscreen, and i still got no recent apps, it just wakes the phone up.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Yep. The bug is still here. Returning back to stock. :(

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

I bet your USB cable is connected. The bug only shows up after deep sleep, so unplug the phone, wait a minute and try.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
setup a security pattern -> time to lock 20 seconds

and set the screen dim/off to 10 seconds

wait 15 seconds (screen should be off now) and push home.

phone won't ask you for the pattern but show the recent apps history
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
Nice to see you supporting xda devs.

[sarcasmoff/]
[Galaxy S II General] Hawlery:
Nope, no USB cable. I tried it again, this time i waited for over a minute. Still just wakes phone up.
[Galaxy S II General] Olivanov:
me too. every time a new version is out, I try it and restore.. seems to be a prob
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
Yeah, also get the application Autostarts (think it's a paid app, cannot remember, I installed it so long ago) you can then see what starts by itself and disable rogue apps! :-)

Remember if I helped please click thanks :-)

Posted by Rumble via XDA premium app on my gsII running CM9 Ice cream Sandwich
[Galaxy S II General] Hawlery:
Still no recent apps, did all the things you said. Or am I missing something here?
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
but be careful, think before disabling everthing that you maybe want to sync and stuff ;O

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

[Galaxy S II General] Alienfreak:
Paypal doesnt take as much % of the PHEWT LEWT as Google does :P
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
i did some testing and i appears that this bug only occurs when you have an app running in front (ie. tapatalk) and it seems that timing is crucial, 11 seconds and it's ok 14 seconds and you get that darn recent apps list :\

edit: ok timing isn't that crucial as i thought, did a test with boat browser running and 8 out of 8 times i got the bug no matter how long i waited
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
It happens to me every time since I use no lock screen. It also happens with every kernel I've tried. It's also in AOKP ROMs too, that's not surprising since they are CM9 clones. It probably started happening after 20120402 nightly. I don't think 20120330 had this bug.
[Galaxy S II General] Michael B.N.:
Is anyone else using avast! Anti-Theft and CM9? For some time I haven't been asked to enter my pin-code, when I turn on or reboot my phone, and after som factory resets I've found out that this error occurs when I install avast! Anti-Theft.

With previous versions of CM9 I didn't have this problem, so there may be some kind of conflict with something in avast! Anti-Theft and something in CM9, and maybe someone else also got the same problem!?
[Galaxy S II General] Huck33:
