You will not need to 'factory restore' or 'wipe'. other methods that ask for it, aren't being done through odin. only the resurrection can be done through odin. after that is flashed, boot up the phone and you will be in cm9 fully just not on the latest nightly.

after that is all done. download the latest nightly -> place on your phone, either internal or external memory-> reboot into recovery -> and install zip from (wherever you put the file) -> reboot.

every time you flash a new rom the kernal will be changed with it.

good luck and welcome to the land of cm9

in a long way you can add one more row or column then go back to home screen stretch your widget to full then back to the row and column you desired.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Does it make a difference what file type you use or if you crop? No problems here.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
Loading Resurrection edition (RE) using Odin will wipe you phone, effectively like performing a factory reset, hence to perform any addition factory reset or cache clearing is redundant.

Android/linux kernel is optimised for each rom, so flashing CM9 will replace stock sammy's ics kernel with cm9 ics kernel, which is optimised for the cm9 rom. there are other custom kernels created by different individuals or groups that bring additional functionalities or optimisation for performance to the system. to use those or not is your choice, and at your own risk.

nandroid backup will make a system image of your phone (kernel, apps, data, rom). in the worst case scenario, if cm9 failed to boot or something gone horribly wrong, as long as you can enter recovery mode, you can restore your nandroid backup, to get back to your stock samsung ics. if that failed, odin a sammy ics rom back into your phone in download mode, install cf-root, that will definitely give you access to recovery mode again.

i've said too much. have fun with your adventure.

[Galaxy S II General] antonyfl:
anyone having a suspend backoff wakelock? It started happening recently when I flashed the nighties that don't start with the word "update"
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
suspend_backoff is activated when the system detects lots of waking-up events (requests to sync, background processes, etc.). this wakelock itself is not the cause, but an indication of something else keeping your system awake.

i would recommend anyone using betterbatterystat for diagnosis to post bbs dump instead of screencapture, as not much can be shown in those images. bbs dump can be generated under menu > more > dump to file. for processes with only numbers (e.g. event1-2000), the number part, i.e. 2000 in this case, is the process number of the app/kernel process involved in wakelock. open a terminal and type "ps", you can use this number to look for the full name of the process.

I am attempting to recover my phone

My phone is soft bricked and nothing I can do will recover it it seems...I was told to try cm9 and it was installing fine then got to the data.img. It has been hanging on the install for the past 35 mins...is there anything I can due to push the data through?

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
If you aren't building from source, you don't, you wait for them to go through review and be merged.

If you are building from source, you can cherry pick them.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
do you mean your update hanged at data.img when using odin to flash? if so, i'm afraid some processes in your computer are clashing with odin and stopped it from finishing the flash (samsung kies is usually the culprit). all is not lost. disconnect the phone from usb and quit odin. hunt for the background process in your system that has "kies" in it and terminate it. proceed to flash again using odin.

I have an issue with the email application

I cannot enter a system folder (Trash) anymore. I see a black triangle in the folder name (see attached picture).

How can I repair this?

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Those are mostly the patches to allow android to be built with the Linaro GCC 4.7 toolchains, the main performance increases will come when both the OS and the kernel can be built with those toolchains instead of the current Google GCC 4.4.3 tool chains, the change of toolchains is also in review but they will take a while as the CM team have to ensure that all builds either work with the new toolchains or add flags so that the ones that won't work fall back and build with the old ones, until that part is in, the performance increase will likely be minimal.
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
Odd issue with nighties. I searched the thread but didn't find my answer.

On incoming calls for contacts that I have programed ringtones to the the general ringtone setup in settings will play and not the selected ringtone.

Both of these rings are not ones that come by default with the device

Any idea if this is a known bug and if there is a way to fix it
[Galaxy S II General] trevolver:
There was a kies in the background...thought I had killed them all. I restarted the process again and it has been running for close to 7 mins and is hung up on data.img again. and this time there is nothing to do with kies running in the processes.

True. It's impressive how some people complain about little things on CM9. Like this: "Oh, i'm not going to use right now, I'm waiting for the stable" Fu** him, CM9 is even more stable, functional and cool then a Samsung ROM. Since the first build of March [when Samsung released ICS sources and it got stable enough {I think it was March...}], I've never used another ROM. Going back to a Sammy ROM is like going back from the Galaxy S II to the Galaxy S.

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Try doing a search? It's been discussed practically every day since the initial articles were published.
[Galaxy S II General] gazdajezda:
Well, yes. Currently cm7 on my GS2 just fly blazzingly fast, feels like winner, everything is really smooth... on cm9 not. I just restore back to it after 2 day of using cm9 and feeling is .... wau :-) But i made a full configuration & backup of cm9 so returning back will be just restore/flash to new one. I look forward to that, but only when it will be at least so smooth as cm7 is now. To me difference is obvious, if someone not believe, let it try ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Then use CM7, why do you have to come here and post this? There is a CM7 thread where you can express your joy about how good it is, go do it there.
[Galaxy S II General] gazdajezda:
Cody, i know. CM9 really is great, i saw/realize that tommorow and today. Only PITA (for me of course) is strange scrolling and fact that it is not so smooth like in cm7 (and i was only trying with cm9 kernel). Also, i believe that stable version will be fast as hell :-)
[Galaxy S II General] :
Actually, CM7 had a better [just a little bit] touch response and consumes less RAM, in my view. But nothing that time or other kernel won't resolve. But yeah, the conclusion is this: CM9 is better than CM7. I'm looking forward to see the all the planned features. I was very impressed on CM7.

[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
good to know the wakelock has ceased when Siyah kernel is flashed.

under Alarm, there's a lot of activity from calender and facebook. both can potentially keep the system awake as it waits for data to be downloaded. the wakelock will be prolonged if connection to internet is weak (no wifi, poor reception, etc.)

If you are looking for a reason to switch to CM9, there is no necessity. You just want to switch.

And if you want it so much, why don't you just do it?

Hi guys/ girls.

Been on cm9 on sgs 2 for a while now after using it on my x10 for a long time.

Totally overwhelmed with how well cm9 performs and how stable it is.

Until today when I now seem to get stuck in deep sleep. No keys or combination of keys will wake the phone. Only way of turning s green on is to plug in charger but touch screen still does not respond.

Have wiped caches and retried but same. Have gone back to 610 to see if this will help. Was on 611 for 12 hours 10 hrs of which I had no issues.

Any suggestions

Does anyone know about any news or updates on the "issue of sound not restoring back after notification, when headphones are plugged in"

I would love to have this working as I use my phone to listen to music in my car. I'm sure the devs will get it working, just wanted to check the status.

CM9 is amazing and can't wait till devs get the notification+sound and orientation sensor working!
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Make sure you are fully stock on the latest nightly, if you get a freeze, do a reboot and immediately copy your /proc/last_kmsg to your sdcard (it should be plain text), then either copy it to pastebin.org or just add the file extension .txt to the end and attach it here.

http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_report_a_bug

Both issues are related to closed source Samsung proprietary drivers, while the situation is being worked on it's not likely without some sort of divine intervention (ie Samsung magically deciding to release info) that these will be fixed very soon.
[Galaxy S II General] rockambole:
seriously? just me complaining about the focus on text scene mode? =/
[Galaxy S II General] NandroidRage:
This is correct, but one minor addition... The latest version for ODIN (4/20) flashes the LPW modem I believe. After that you can flash any modem using CWM Recovery. There are links in the original post.

[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
I see they have started to exploit Linaro .... you've seen the changelog? there are some changes from Linaro
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yes, but the main performance increase will come when they can build using the new GCC 4.7 toolchains, since doing that requires testing every build to ensure compatibility and ensuring that those that won't build fall back to the Google GCC 4.4.3 toolchain it will likely be a few days before we see the real improvements from the linaro changes. Most of the stuff that's been merged so far is just fixes so that it can be built using GCC 4.7 in the future, the effect while the build still uses GCC 4.4.3 is likely to be minimal if there is any at all.

Keep an eye on these to see when the toolchains are added:

Yeah, from reading the comments, it looks like its going to require board specific flags to determine which toolchains are used, at least until the compatibility of those boards can be fixed.
