No kernels newer than LP6 because they break asec and secure containers. Go ahead and try them, but don't you dare come report or complain about bugs while using it. Hint: apps on SD will no longer work and install.

Chainfire managed to fix sd card problem in his latest cf-root kernel. Of course his kernels aren't usable on cm 9, but Gokhanmoral - developer of Siyah kernel is following in his footsteps. Unfortunately his latest alpha build fixing this problem too is only for Samsung roms, but I think it's a question of time when he releases a build usable in CM 9. For now we can use some older builds that are compatible with AOSP roms. My phone is just running on Siyah Alpha 5 based on LPJ kernel with sd card problem present.

Chainfire rooted kernel does not indicated as have this problem.

And this all the same for me nevertheless...

Tried flash chainfire Kern by Mobile Odin - did not boot...
[Galaxy S II General] Tchiort:
Yeap I tried this patch, it didn't change anything. I tried the AGPS patch as well, nothing worked... Thanks anyway.

I also wonder if there is not a hardware difference. I saw that I was not the only one in France having this problem (I bought my phone among the first ones in France).

Guys, exist a program like samsung dive for the cm9?
[Galaxy S II General] rnksarda:
even i am waiting for this Q to be answered :0
[Galaxy S II General] mynameisjon:
That because Chainfire's kernels don't work with CM9, something that people have been saying and you've been conveniently letting slip past your tiny brains.

Of course it won't boot you numbnut.

If you want to refute very good advice from people who know what they're talking about then don't ask questions here. Do whatever the hell you want.

False charging

Guys, I have following problem.

When do full charge and unplug charger, battery icon then correctly changes to full, not charging.

After several minutes of usage, battery icon suddenly changes to charging (without charger plugged). Everything seems working fine, excepts phone thinks it is charging and battery drains very quickly.

After some more usage, typically when battery level falls below 50%, icon changes back to normal status and then everything is OK.

I don't know if this is problem of battery, USB port, or kernel.

Before CM9 I had similar problems on Samsung beta ICS (LP6 and other versions) described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1520528

it was really annoying so i tried to move to CM9. There was not this problem unless upgrade to update-cm-9-20120309-NIGHTLY.

So it looks more like SW or kernel problem?!?

I have my SGS2 for mor than 8 months, so there is some earlier version of charger port flex cable (someone reported that change to newer version help him to solve this problem...)
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
No bug. Read how to fix. Learn how to use your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] LiorScreamsSandwich:
[/COLOR]

I think its a problem in the battery itself ..

we already know its not because of the ROM, as you were saying it has happened before.

so,what i would do is change the Karnel-Modem,Flash Gapps Fixer + Newest build,wipe cache and data..

It may also be a corrupted application/file in your phone that causing this ..so wiping data might be vital

If problem still there, there's nothing left to do but change the battery ..
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
no deep sleep bug, didn't factory reset anything, just usual cache/dalvik reset.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
I, on the other hand, do have a bug! It was present in CM7 also, and sometimes it can be annoying. I'm talking about changing volume while you are in call, and the screen is off. It's not working. You have to turn the screen on, then use the volume buttons to change volume. Any fix to this?
[Galaxy S II General] NOWE:
Problem solved?

Which problem should this solve?

This phone.apk makes it very diffcult to answer calls because the button dissappears almost under the edge of the display.
[Galaxy S II General] capo56:
But the problem was not ever on gingerbread, sudenly on samsung's ICS, than again not on first CM9 I have use, and now it is back again.

I have wiped battery stats few times, wiped dalvik cache, wiped cache, and has newest modem and kernel (LP6 so far). CM is 03014.

I just wonder if I am the only one with this problem on CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] FordT:
Oopsie, you're right.

The original problem was that the phone app crashed at 160dpi. Now it doesn't. I only checked outgoing calls yesterday, there everything looked fine. Now that I got an incoming call I saw what you mean. I'll check that...
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
There will be no LPQ Kernel compatible with CM9. We need to change some system files to be compatible with LPQ kernel. But that's not the way to go.

Simply wait till we've finished our own kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] sadonlyone:
I hope I'm not totally out of topic, but it seems that callrecorder has support for standard android api on 2.3.x, but it is not supposed to work on ics... I mean samsung included in gb kernel (as in it's stock rom) drivers for microphone etc and for ics "forgot" about them. another great improvement from samsung team !

hopefully, it will be possible on cm9, like it was on gorgeous cm7.
[Galaxy S II General] Net.silb:
CyanogenMod 9 is great, but until kernel sources are released we are stuck with annoying bugs.

Because of those bugs I decided to go to modified stock XXLPQ which looks exactly like CM9, there are links in my signature for whoever wants to try.

I moved to this because it is nearly bug-free MTP & Video Recording work!!!

Even though I am on stock I still get to enjoy the ICS look and feel!!!

[Galaxy S II General] pik1:
it seems like you didnt have good reception on your network... maybe thats the problem?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Ok I'll try to explain why I get better battery performace than most of you:

1. Buy a 2000 mah battery

2. enable 2G

3. Delete Tv Out, Live Wallpapers (doesn't matter but it's slimer ;) ), Genie Widget, Dsp Manager, gtalk, gallery (I have quickpic) and a few I can' t remember. I don't need those apps.

4. Install Rom Toolbox Pro and disable ads with it, prevent Apps from loading, in google framework freeze all things with gtalk in the beginning.

5. Open build.prop and set wifi scan Intervall to 600 (it's much but I have it ;) )

6. Install Droidwall and disable internet connection for all apps that should't use data

7. Disable Auto rotation screen

8. I think I've forgotten some things...

With these things you should get better battery performance til we get a better kernel ;)

I get easily through the day with 40 % left in the evening (unplugged 6 in the morning).

Screen on time over 3 1/2 hours.

Few phone calls, data on, browsing, music and many many sms.

Noticed something. I am not able to play video formats like .mp4, .avi in the stock player. Mobo plays mp4 but I have to use soft decoding to play .avi in it. Is this a known issue? I believe it was working earlier.

In FAQ it just says:

"Does video playback work?

Yes for both software and hardware decoding. There might still be issues with certain players on hardware decoding."

bootanimation

I tried to make a bootanimation from an animated gif...

Extracted and converted the files to png, 7 zipped them with a desc.txt and copied to data/local...

[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:

[Galaxy S II General] FordT:
Yes, at 160dpi they do, not at 182, though.
[Galaxy S II General] zborn:
What i dont like about apex is that if you change the dpi to 160 the app drawer will leave a line at the bottom with no iccons (looks like 182 is the minimim it can handle). Thats the only reason why i had to go back to nova. But otherwise, apex is awesome...

Just a report on the latest radio - LPQ and LPJ; after 2 days on LPQ, I think it handles poor signal/coverage worse than the LPJ, so I am flashing back to LPJ.

My office has **** coverage and all radio/modem are struggling but some are handling it well (like KI3/KI4 and LP6). I will try the LPJ for several days, see how this goes.

Video recording (1080p) - works.

Button backlights - works.

FM radio - works.

I thought MIUI was based on cm9 (MIUI 2.3.x was basd on cm7) so how do they do that?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Try a different modem
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
OK. My question was in fact ironic, and your answer is what I feared.

On any system, "delete" an app doesn't seem a very good idea. "Unistall" would be better, as in this way, you "uninstall" data and every other files the app has placed in your system. In big OS (Windows, OSX or Linux), some apps install many many config files, or even librairies. If you "delete" app with root explorer, you only erase the binary but leave other files. And it can leave you after a while with a very unstable OS.

I wouldn't advise any one to "delete" app, but more unisntall them.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Nah it's now based on the sammy rom.... they can't do it on their own I guess...
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:

No, it is fixable, samsung just don't want to spend time to fix it because they don't have to. Many people don't notice or care about the 16bit color banding or just think that's the way it's supposed to be, and as long as not many people complain, nothing will happen.

tldr; Samsung suck with support.

Yup. Don't be too anxious about the wipe! If you forget, your phone will be unstable, but won't be broken. In this case, just reboot in recovery and wipe.

Just bear in mind that wiping is the last task you have to do. It is easy to remind. Don't get too much impressed.

Don't know if codeworkx is kidding with this statement ( you never know with him lol) but i follow him here about sammy and the GS II in every aspect.

Don't praise your sammy because some just like samsung.

This was my first Samsung smartphone ( one out of many smartphones i had) and it will be my last. Specially because of the software. Just look at the official ICS from them, don't know how to describe it without swearing but it looks like a kid of 8 years old who did throw it together with bits and pieces he found on the internet.

About CM9, guys you are doing a wonderful job and a reason to keep my GS II for a while. Using it daily for several weeks and perfect usable with minor hiccups.

Keep up the good work.
