With all the drama about people not searching the thread, I wanted to raise a point. I do 99% of my XDAing using the XDA for Android app. I can't see a way to search this thread using the XDA App. Maybe I am being noobtarded. Can anyone point out how to do it with the app? I I know you can search the forum, click but can't see how to search the thread. I have been following this thread from the beginning, and always browse through the new posts regularly, and so I don't really need to search, but if I wanted to, I'd have to get on my computer?
[Galaxy S II General] Fabriciohss:
Good job guys. Now we are afraid to do what we are supposed to do in this thread. Discuss the ROM.

I hope you all have (at least) enlarged your e-penises by quite a bit.

I tried different things, one i fixed the 3G data issues changing my modem from XXLP1 to XXKPA. The only thing its the GPS, for me it's almost daily driver fixing the GPS, i dont trigger/care about the other bugs.
[Galaxy S II General] juz4:
Something not mentioned in the latest changelog is WI-FI tethering.

It's still a no in the FAQ but I tested it OK.

Anybody know if that was fixed in this build or would that be a result of me using the KP8 kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
Can I ask, you do use FasterFix right?
[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
ahh screw it, lets just get back on topic.
[Galaxy S II General] rodpalma:
That happened to me too. I just can't stand Gingerbread anymore, but the lack of GPS is just too much to keep me waiting. Unfortunately, cause the ROM is freaking awesome .. anyway ...

Another thing, the only thing I didn't try to stop the 3G hungs was to flash the KP8 kernel .. I've already tried LP1, KP8, KPA and KI4 modems .. not feeling confident enough to flash just the kernel though ...
[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
the only thing the kp8 kernel seems to break is ext sd. you can set it to be able to access files from it from root explorer (or other file managers), but media storage doesn't seem to find anything (music) from it.
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
No, when money is changing hands, then we're customers. This is all for free (unless you choose to make a donation).

It's the Dev's ball, they can take it and go home if they want to. We'd all do well to remember that.

[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
My mistake. Trebuchet's "menu to search" has yet been implemented. As I use nova launcher, I have that function for a long while.

So, matey, you were right to begin with. It's not been implemented and I'm not aware of any time frame being mentioned.
[Galaxy S II General] Doopliss:
Yeah, if it works it's just a feature of Nova/Apex Launcher or whatever other app.

I'm thinking about having a go at adding it myself.
[Galaxy S II General] chareos12:
Is the RILJ test in kernel?

Need to know to decide if flash (N.E.A.K. is simply too good)

[Galaxy S II General] rodeo_calling:
Yeah I use apex and it works on the homescreen, what would be great is for it to work in other apps, like play store or browser. That functionality needs to be a part of CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
I forgot I use Apex myself.

This is exactly what I meant, I can't believe I made so many errors try to post what I am saying.:o 'Hold Menu to Search in Apps'.

[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
I disagree with you. They point is that (oh, what a wonder) Samsung ****ed up again.

Let me explain:

Wifi-direct is to connect two devices without the need of an access point. Modern wifi transfer rates simply "destroy" Bluetooth.

The wifi-direct specification says that only one of the two devices must support this. It's fully backwards-compatible! This means that you should be able to share files with every device that has wifi.

Should, that is. Why? Because Samsung apparently removed that feature. For a device to get the wifi-direct certificate, it has to support the whole standard.

Some news site emailed the responsible people and asked how the S2 got the certificate even though it doesn't support this. The answer was that the device they got supported this.

Now it would be BADASS if the cyanogenmod team could fix this.

Here you go (it's German tho):

http://www.chip.de/news/Galaxy-S2-und-WiFi-Direct-Bedingt-einsatzbereit_49201749.html

SAMSUNG, Y U NO GOOD?
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
would you mind to explain a little bit more? when you said gapps doesn't work, do you mean you can't install gapps or do you mind those google apps don't work?

if the gapps zips failed to install, chances are the file may be corrupted and you need to download a fresh copy.
[Galaxy S II General] mihaits:
I know I might get flamed for this but is there any chance the rotation delay could be reduced/made customizable?:D I saw a setting in AOKP for that (10ms-250ms). If not, can I modify it myself through a value in a file or something or is it impossible?

Hi,

I just flashed with latest CM9 nightly build 0519 and I noticed that the volume is higher than before which is a good thing. However, when I plug in my headset, the volume is unbearable, too loud! Is there a way in CM9 to configure the notification sound and ringer sound to lower it when detected headset is plugged in and then restore back to original volume level when unplugged?

[Galaxy S II General] mihaits:
i've done a bit of research on this and here's what i've got:

there is a value called "SETTLE_TIME_MS" which is set to 200ms, meaning that the device changes rotation if it spends 200ms in a state (basicaly a delay for rotation). this value is found in

android_frameworks_base / core / java / android / view / WindowOrientationListener.java

could a dev set it to a lower value (like 10ms) and merge it? the defaut one is seems to be a bit slow ( and it's slower than in sammy roms)

i'm quite new here and i'm not a developer so i wasn't sure if i should post this in development. Should i?

Or go to applications and clesr data and cache of maps
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
I don't think it's a good idea to have it set so low, although it can be annoying to wait, it can even be more annoying to have the phone continuously rotating when you don't want it to, remember these changes are not for you alone, but for a great multitude, if 200ms is found to be the acceptable range, then it shouldn't be set to much lower than that, a way for the user to select the delay may be more practical
[Galaxy S II General] fjkum:
I'm not sure if anyone here notice the sound produces to headset is kinda loud on this latest build? Is there any out there that I can fine tune the volume to headset?

Hi,

was there a reason why read_ahead_kb is set to 1024 instead of 2048 where people i think are saying it's the best. I don't mind using init.d scripts, i'm just wondering why...:)
[Galaxy S II General] Kung-Fu-Tse:
hi,

here is CM9 thread and not "HyDr0G3N" <- because your signature ;)
[Galaxy S II General] msquared:
Try to uninstall maps and then reinstall it
[Galaxy S II General] mihaits:
i'm not saying it should be set to exactly 10ms, but definitely lower than 200. I've always found countless threads with coplains about slow rotation (on many devices and os-s, not just ours), but not a single one about unwanted rotation. If the sammy roms have a lower value set for this and it works fine, then why not set it on cm9 too so we could enjoy it? And btw, AOKP roms have a setting for that in Rom Control and I found 10ms to be just fine.

When i saw an iPhone for the first time the rotation speed was one of the first thing I noticed compared to Android.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
If you know how to change it, you can decompile the appropriate apks, change the values, recompile and push them back to the device. You could also download the source, make the appropriate edits and build it yourself and/or push the change to Gerrit for review.
[Galaxy S II General] hynreck:
Enable quiet hours, whole day then disable haptic response on quiet hours? that's the way I do it and it works :P
[Galaxy S II General] mihaits:
that's the problem. I don't know how to do it so I would be very grateful if codeworkx or another developer with enough knowledge would change and merge it.
[Galaxy S II General] clifffhanger:
Sorry bout the signature, I'm constantly changing ROMs and currently on CM9. The question is for the ROM.

BTW, is there a rule to post only on threads where your signature matches? If that's the case, I'll remove/change mine.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
No there isn't.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Ok, well you pointed out which file it's in so I figured that meant you knew how to change the appropriate values, as far as building the ROM there are tutorials in the CM wiki.

Gotta remember, CM9 is built for a multitude of devices covering a multitude of users, just because you like it one way doesn't mean that the majority does, they have to build to specs that work for everyone. There is also the issue that adding a ton of features, while good, is complicated as those features don't work the same on every device so allowing someone to change something on one device may very well break stuff for other devices.

@ Byakuya88

I see it , thx
[Galaxy S II General] clifffhanger:
I don't mind. :D Going back to my question. It's no big deal to use init.d scripts. I just asking because there might be a reason behind 1024 being used on the read_ahead_kb for CM9, and it might be best to leave it that way instead of changing it to 2048.
[Galaxy S II General] sulligogs:
I had a moan a few pages ago about the scrolling in ICS/CM9. It can feel sticky at times and can be a tad frustrating to use.

Well, I had a blast on MIUI 2.5.11 and yes, whilst there are elements of iPhone (the white menus and the settings icon) I have to say it has the best ICS scrolling experience out of CM9 and HyDrOG3N-ICS. It is rapid!

On top of that the touchkeys work exactly the same way as on the stock rom, including pressing the touchscreen to make the keys light up for a second.

Just my two cents. I will be paying closer attention to MIUI from now on.
[Galaxy S II General] Boat Traveller:

sorry for my noob question but why can't we use titanium backup ?

[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
if i understand well, Scrolling is best on MIUI ???(i never flash MIUI)...... when I used the stock firmware,scrolling was better than CyanogenMod ..... , a stock browser is more fluid and if i don't change the GPU values the phone lag too much....it's normal CyanogenMod9 is still not stable but it's the best ICS Rom..

One question, the output of the GS3 firmware which opens prospects now?
[Galaxy S II General] Talminator:
Hmm, interesting. I tried MIUI v4 a while back and found the whole experience to be a bit more sluggish than CM9, particularly on the lockscreen.

Personally, I prefer CM9 because it feels a lot more polished. MIUI has nice customisability but that's pretty much it, and with the recent integration of the theme engine CM9 is catching up fast. In MIUI I found the theme engine awkward to browse and use, not to mention that it feels like the ROM hasn't fully made the switch to UK English (with many theme names being in Chinese), although I guess that's what you get for using ROMs still in development :rolleyes:

You're perfectly entitled to your own opinion, but in my personal experience I've found the CM9 experience to be much more fluid. And with the promise of loads of features to come ( http://opendesign.bbqdroid.org/ ), I'm not sure I could bring myself to switch to another ROM :p

[Galaxy S II General] clifffhanger:
are you using a lower lcd density? phone.apk usually fails bacause of this though it usually happens all the time not like your situation where it happens only when your screen is off. Just to be safe, make sure you're using dpi 182 and above. or stick with the default 240.

You might be using a different kernel which you have tweaked too much that is causing the the issue.

Current ROM: Latest CM9 nightly
[Galaxy S II General] veveritza:
Always used stock kernel and never changed lcd density..

Also, sadonlyone, KI4 is what I'm using at the moment.

vitalij value

Hi,

I've asked several times here for the ability of changing the so called vitalij value, the threshold pixels between scrolling and tapping.

The default value in stock is 15. It's set to 5 on CM9.

While it improves responsiveness, specially when gaming, I prefer my taps to be recognized correctly, specially when using only 1 hand.

The responses I got suggested using another kernel, but after having a look at kernel sources, it seems you can do it too on stock CM9 kernel. The value can be read and written in /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c.3/i2c-3/3-004a/mov_hysti. I'm not sure if it's the same path for all devices.

echo 15 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c.3/i2c-3/3-004a/mov_hysti

I set in in /data/local/userinit.sh to persist it across reboots.

You can empirically test the current value with this app from the Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tegrak.touchmove

(Note: it doesn't let you modify the value from the app itself, probably missing some API the Siyah kernel provides).

Xplodwild posted that he'd like to see that too, but that it's not easy to implement. :(

I would so love to see that, but I doubt that it'll ever come.

I somehow don't even see codeworkx or someone else from the developer team answering the question how the chances are that this comes in future, because of all the reposts of "issues" and questions that have been answered only like a thousand times.

Most of the "important/interesting" questions are left unanswered because they sink in the flood of unnecessary posts within minutes. :(

You got a few answers already but my recommendation would be to flash to latest, wipe cache and dalvik. If still not working, backup and rollback to cm7 or stock to test.

I also have this problem and I tend to agree with veverita, might be a deep sleep problem. Try setting the network carrier manual and not automatically, I did this and it appears to work ok now. I love CM9 but if the problem persists I'll have to switch to stock rom.

Sorry guys for crying, but the light sensor is a mess with the latest nightlies. I know about the problem with accelerometer and the open source driver, but the light sensor really sucks.
