Just noticed

The steps now say:

Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9:

- Copy CM9 ZIP to your internal SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM9 zip

- Reboot

So does it mean that we don't have to wipe cache and Dalvik Cache now?
[Galaxy S II General] :
CM devs say that wipping Dalvik Cache is a lie.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Dalvik cache isn't a lie, it is however automatically invalidated by flashing a new ROM and rebuilt on the next reboot, so doing a dalvik wipe is redundant.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Sorry, I forgot to say before Dalvik cache: "Wipping Dalvik cache is a lie"
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
I don't see any reason to discourage useful and interesting posts, just because it might scare some people. Yes, its very unlikely that the bug can happen and CM9 should be safe this commit http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16860/ should stop the problem. But if you look at the comments even the developers wanted testing because it's a scary bug and why not be paranoid about Samsung's terrible mistake.

The commit has essentially been merged on the basis of two testers (to be fair one being Codeworkx). That's no reason to be paranoid but its well worth realising that by flashing nightly builds you are the lab rats and they can potentially be dangerous. I like being informed, at least the posts are a break from the usual crap that pollutes the thread!
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
I totally agree with you! The bug is highly unlikely to happen to the average user. And I'm not scared of it, and I won't buy a nexus phone. But I just wanted to share that post to the people on this thread, that's all. Chill out boy, being rude doesn't help anyone. You maybe got me depressed now, I'm really sad, I'll go to bed and never wake up. Thank you!

Is it just me who is really curious about this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...e-and-now-parts-of-it-are-being-added-to-cm9/

:)
[Galaxy S II General] :
There's a lot of posts about the mmc bug. It been already confirmed by Entropy, codeworkx and other devs that CM9/Siyah/Fluxi/Neak and others kernels are safe. It's good to be informed, but it scares a lot of people that don't have a very good knowledge about this bug. We talked a lot about this, we tried to don't panic the thread. This mmc bug topic were already closed, so the CM9 thread isn't the place to talk about this anymore.

No :) i'm looking forward to see those linaro's codes on the CM9
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I use setting profiles, an app from Play. It will allow you to create as many profiles, and triger them following various rules : your place (defined by wifi network), or time schedule, and more.

Have a try, one of the most useful app according to me.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
the unintended shutdown is not something we've come across often. i would recommend to flash the resurrection edition of CM9 to your device using Odin, followed by the latest nightly and Gapp (this time using CWM). this seems, to me, to be the safety way to prepare the device for the CM9 environment.

which copy of CM9 do you have in your phone? have you flashed any custom kernels or mod to your i9100? when you said phone was "dead for 2 hours", did you recharge the phone before you start again, or did you just power up your phone? was there power left when you power on your phone again? there's very little information you provide for we can work on.

p.s.

an alternative fix is to go back to stock sammy ICS rom using Odin (visit sammobile.com to get the appropriate copy for your locale and service provider).
[Galaxy S II General] alsafady89:
How do you install it? I downloaded the apk but it keeps failing to install. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I'm interested to see what sort of improvement these changes actually make, not saying that the headlines are untrue but they're using benchmarking apps that are easily spoofed and people who write articles for the internet want you to read them so they put the story in the best possible light. That being said, I'm sure there will be performance enhancements when the linaro code is implemented, but I wouldn't expect the "double" performance that is promised in the article either.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Maybe yes. Will double the performance, but the Galaxy S II is very much powerful, so those improvements won't be visible by eye :) I think that if you merge this to devices like Galaxy S/Ace will really double performance. Benchmark can't determine visible performance, but maybe are useful. I just hope that will improve battery life as well, because improving performance you can overclock and change kernel settings :)
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
who said that this is not the place to talk about this problem? you??? you are a moderator??? no...so dont tell people what to write here....if you read codeworkx's google+ page yesterday you can read this:
[Galaxy S II General] :
I don't need to be a moderator to know that this isn't the place to talk about this. It been already closed. And read the part that he says: "CM kernels are safe to flash", so why talk about this when you know it's safe? I saw something like 4 threads just for talking about the mmc chip.
[Galaxy S II General] eezdva:
Supeerrrr curious too.

So it will be implemented in all CM9 or only GN . Cause I own a GN too. Borrowed it to a friend but if it will take a while to come to the sgs2 I might swap phones for a while lol.
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
we talk about this because some users keep flashing other kernel.....this is just to prevent people who are not aware of the problem so they do not hard brick their phones.....
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
It will not come to Gnexus if you're not running CM9. The improvements are not present in AOSP. But if you flash CM9, every device will get the performance boost. I like it a lot :p
[Galaxy S II General] :
Well, other kernels are safe too. But you guys talk about this because you are scared about this.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The changes are on the AOSP gerrit too, but its likely to take longer to get merged, CM9 will bring it to all devices as soon as its tested and merged.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Hope this will be merged soon :)
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
You hope for it more than hoping for the new gpu drivers? :D
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
25 is the last good for me. Any other more recent drains.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
I have the same experience. Same apps installed, if I flash 25 back, good battery life. If I flash any other recent, it drains.

Same phone, same state, different results. I keep flashing more recent nightlies then going back to 20120525.

Something is up.

Yeah, but data usage doesn't make a mess like this. My friend got 7h screen on [10h total] with 3G all the time. If AOS usage is so high, his screen on time should be very low, like 30min
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
This is a major bug and it became even more messed up after Samsung charging animation was replaced by AOSP one.

Fluxxi Latest , yes i use FB and BLN and most of the time on Wi-Fi, but

[Galaxy S II General] :
Take some screenshots of all your apps. And tell how much screen on time you have.
[Galaxy S II General] RGNDI:
Like Each App Drawer Screen shot?, or Just The Apps Running?

and yes Screen time is a disgrace just over an hour, i haven't used the phone these days, just got a Tab2 7.0...
[Galaxy S II General] :
All the apps would be better, so I can guess which apps are causing too much wakelocks.

[Galaxy S II General] :
Look, uninstall bln control. xxTweaker already have a bln control. I think it's the main cause for the battery drain. BLN Control can conflict the built-in bln. I recommend you to install Android Assistant, and in the boot, kill all applications. Also, look at the Battery Use for the most battery drainers.

No audio in calls

Hello guys/gals

1st of all excuse my ignorance... but I got to ask.

Why I get no audio during calls? I can't hear anybody during a call, but, they can hear me.

I've been looking for this in the forum but can't seem to find a post that talks about fixing this. Some people says that "everything" works fine after instaling the ROM, am I doing something wrong here?

Can you please help me out to find a solution?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] boggsterman:
Time for me to chime in again. First of all, the dev thread is just getting funny! I swear people are just creating new accounts or something and posting there on purpose!

But anyway, back to the matter at hand... So I have been using the build from the 18th with the KP9 kernel (to fix data) and KI4 modem (because why not? apparently it's a good modem!). First off, the external SD card issue is no better using KP9 kernel than it was using KP8. Also, as a couple other people have mentioned now, yesterday i was out and about, fired up google maps, got a fix and everything worked properly, only thing was that my phone started heating up like crazy so i decided to pull the battery. Upon reboot i had lost close to 20% battery just like that. On top of that, phone has started to get really laggy this morning. Anyway, conclusion is I'm reverting back to the build from the 06th. I never had any problems (besides the known bugs of course) with that build and i don't really notice any major benefits of the newer builds.
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
I don't suppose anyone has a link to the 0106 build then do they? I never got to try that build and would like to based on the replies in here.

[Galaxy S II General] SuppiLo:
This happens to me everytime I turn off the screen so it's impossible to use CM9. Is there a fix?
[Galaxy S II General] SufiSam:
One quick question. Why does codeworkx, in his first post in the main ICS thread, says that "Don't restore apps using Titanium Backup"? I mean, all my apps have been backed up using the same..
[Galaxy S II General] Net.silb:
This is not normal, to me it happens once in a blue moon.

What build are you using and what kernel?

Maybe try reflashing.
[Galaxy S II General] TheIncredibleMachine:
I had that happen to me yesterday twice, but it hasn't happened since. Build 0117 with kp9 kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
I believe it comes into the 'not recommended' or possibly 'not supported' category rather than absolutely forbidden.

For a knowledgeable user who restores apps only it seems to be fine in most cases. But given the apparent intellectual capacity of some new users of CM9 can you imagine the carnage if he said, 'go ahead, it'll be fine'.
[Galaxy S II General] RGNDI:
I just Installed it, but cant quite figure it out... :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II General] :
No need. I suggest you to uninstall the CM stock apps. Enter /system/app and delete what you don't need, and also user apps. The first thing you need to do is uninstall the apps you don't need. Take a look at Settings/Apps. Scroll down to the bottom uninstalling what you think you don't need. Disable notification for some apps, lower the brightness and I suggest you to use ThunderBolt! scripts [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1556013 ] Can't do much, battery life change person to person.

Oh. Yeah, charging animation with fluxi isn't working anymore. Damn, charging only with the phone on sucks. Hope fluxi fix this soon.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
all these claims about bad battery life are getting boring.

what evidence do you all have other than "gut feel"... "I tried this ROM and I got x hours out of it... since then every nightly has been worse"

"Gut feel" is not evidence enough.

Here's how to truely test CM9.

Wipe your phone completely, I mean a complete wipe.

Install CM9 and NOTHING ELSE. No apps, nothing.

Use your phone for 2 days without ANYTHING ELSE installed.

Then see what you think.

What you don't realise is as soon as you install any apps, there could be many reasons why you don't get "very good battery life" from your gut feeling.

Therefore, if you get great battery life with just CM9 and poor when you install an APP, what does this tell you?
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
This is why I said my phone was on an identical state bar the ROM version.

Identical state with APPs installed? So your gauge for battery drain is what exactly?

[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
Does offline charging work?
[Galaxy S II General] :
If offline you mean with the phone off, no. But will be corrected [maybe] in the next version. That was because of the latest CM9 build. If this fix is what you need to use it, just wait for the next version of the kernel :)

And in the next build of CM9 it will be possible to customize the lockscreen background.

"Settings : Lockscreen background customization (2/2)"

"Framework : Lockscreen background customization (1/2)"

---> Allow user to customize lockscreen background (port from cm7)
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
OT : I remember seeing a lock screen background which was very creative . It was something like a picture of a female/celebrity where you had to swipe the screen or something to make her....

I do some tests yesterday.

ANd what I see is the problem came from the "Profil".

I set the "Home Profile" to have a non secured lockscreen, but, in some ways (I don't know why, how...) when I set the "Home Profile active" I had no sound for incoming call, even though I set a ringtone in sytem properties.

But when I set the "Default Profile" active, no problems... incoming calls have their ringtones...

I just delete the "Home Profile", and recreate a new profile, renaming it "Home" :)

I set the lockscreen to non secure, and Now I've got the sound for incoming calls :D

Thank you anyway for your help.

I'll keep the "Audio manager" in mind :D

(is it really useful ?)

I've got very battery drain I guess...

But for me I'm sure it linked with the provider I have with I have some signal trouble : weak, no signal... If you know, it's FreeMobile, using the Orange network for most part of the France territory.

Holy damn. Android OS isn't the cause. AOS % is high because the others are low. You have some serious wakelocks, since awake time is 100%. The phone never got into deep sleep. Do a full wipe and clean up the things you really don't need.

For BBS, I upload the screenshots with the parameter "Since Charged" because previous screenshot was "Since unpluged" witch is not relevant :) because I unplug the phone 5 minutes ago.
