That makes sense, thank you unfortunately when playing back AVI's (Xvid) and using mx player in software mode it just crashes :(

Are there any players with built in codes for example ?
[Galaxy S II General] armanderli:
it is working here...I just tested an .AVI file. Are you using a legitimate version?

Try the free version of MX player on Play store..............Or Rock player (but it interface is so outdated)
[Galaxy S II General] aquariuzism:
Same thing to me mate. But we're just ordinary user of CM9 and i think that's one of its awesomeness limitations. So it's either we live to that problem or go back to GB. :p
[Galaxy S II General] indyjonesUK:
Yeah, its just the free version from play. It plays the file fine for while then freezes with a juddering stuck sound like windows 98 used to do :D
[Galaxy S II General] nageshv24:
Using Dice player without problems. It uses H/W codecs for most including avi & mkv files.
[Galaxy S II General] indyjonesUK:
Thanks will give it a try, I have also downloaded the VLC alpha from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517415

and will give it a whirl too
[Galaxy S II General] braso:
I don't think there are too many people flat out complaining about the battery life. This is a discussion thread for the ROM so I think it isn't outside our scope to comment on the battery life of the different nightlies. I charge my phone every night regardless, so my only real concern is getting through the day without having to throw it on the charger for a top up like I used to with GB stock. I wouldn't know about getting through two days without a charge, and I do use all the bells and whistles (wifi/GPS/3G/bluetooth always on).
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
My battery life is, without a doubt, better than it was in GB. I'm seeing drain of less than 0.5%/hour when leaving the phone overnight, and I've seen drain only go to a little over 1%/hour if I perma-wakelock it.
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
That's short indeed. Ive also had similiar drainages sometimes on different roms.

Never found exactly the cause...
[Galaxy S II General] elite_gamer04:
Using stock Battery in latest 04/09 Build? (Or super secret Dev Kernel haha) I'm not seeing more than 15hrs'ish with around 3hrs On-Screen. Wifi On (even when screen-off), No BT, Brightness literally all the way to left.
[Galaxy S II General] omar.abbas:
that can happen by the difference of number of apps between you guys. i'm sure you have plenty of apps installed like me :D and so many of them suck on the battery.. flash a clean new rom and it will last to its fullest, n that changes as you install more and more apps. not all apps are a hog tho
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
Recent App List Bug

I've seen some people stating that there is no Recent App List Bug, so I made a (crappy) video to prove that this bug exists.

It has to do with the Automatic Lock feature, that

does

appear when you select Pattern unlock, but does

NOT

appear when the lock screen is set to Swipe to unlock. But even though it is not appearing it is still having an effect on the lockscreen and even overrides the Lock Delay I believe......because when I disabled Lock Delay, the phone would still not lock immediately as Automatic Lock was set to 15 seconds.

So when Automatic lock is set to anything other than "Immediately" it will cause the Recent App list to appear when pressing the Home button while the screen is off, but the phone is not yet locked.

I hope my video makes this clear

NOTE: every time the screen turns on, I used the Home button, never any other button. I press the Home button for less than a second, I never hold it.

[Galaxy S II General] elite_gamer04:
Actually its a clean CM9 with GApps installed - I had that theory and wanted to test. Eliminated the chances of it being any apps that could cause the issue :S

USB Host doesn't work

I tried OTG cable + USB wireless mouse/keyboard, but it wasn't working on 20120409 nightly. The same configuration works on Motorola Xoom, so the cable itself is fine. I also tried USB drive (fat32). Galaxy detects a USB storage has been connected, but I cannot see any files in the USB drive. Some people using earlier builds reported that USB Host works, I would appreciate it if somebody else with newer builds could report their status.

Chainfire's USB Host diagnostics app tells me that when USB wireless mouse is connected, "device is not detected" under "Android API" category. Not sure what that means, but worth noting. Somebody in earlier post mentioned that Samsung disabled codes that enable other USB devices except for USB flash drives... also interesting point.

I don't know if this has been reported before,Last night i under clocked the cpu to 800mhz...and changed the governed to power save and put it in flight mode (I did all this with the idea of saving the battery while i sleep) ...today morning the phone didn't turn on,connected it to the charger and it turned on with 0% battery...my plan on saving the battery backfired :D :D..

[Galaxy S II General] hectorviov:
How do you do that? My battery sucks ass it only gets like 7 hours of life on a full charge
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
I believe it's to use the rockers to move the cursor when entering text. Perfect keyboard has that option and it's a much better alternative to having to use that stupid touch arrow.

[Galaxy S II General] wltklah:
I have been doing a lot of testing on the video recording function on 480p, 720p, and 1080p. It all works, but it seems like the video encoding isn't efficient enough to generate stable fps. I can see bit of lag here and there for all recording mode including 480p(I thought I should be able to record pure smooth video with lower resolution?). Samsung's stock GB ROM encode outstanding 720p with very smooth video. I really hope enhancing video recording on 720p for CM9 is in the future to do list. Same thing for the video playback, it works, but not pure smooth yet. Anyway, thanks to all devs for all the hard works.
[Galaxy S II General] Unclean009:
Yeah it's under the android keyboard settings. Wish swiftkey had this.
[Galaxy S II General] DAMAGE_INC29:
May i know what does this fix means? ^^,
[Galaxy S II General] stormtroopercs:
I believe its for another language. Russian I believe.. I'm prob wrong about it being Russian but I know its a translation fix :)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Some XML variables in the Russian translation were in the wrong place resulting in build failures, if you aren't building it yourself you likely didn't notice and won't ever notice, it did cause the nightlies for today for GT-I9100 and SGH-I777 to fail, but it's fixed now and they should build fine tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] benson621:
i am using cm9 0409, today when i woke up, i discovered that my phone is black in screen and no response to turn the screen on, so I thought it was SOD and tried to reboot the phone, then my phone keep on loading in the CM9 starting screen (the screen which is blue which the android icon there), waited for very long time and still couldn't get into the desktop.

i have tried wipe all my cache, install again CM9 0409 (with no full wipe), they don't help, still like this

do anyone know anything i can do to help???

really appreciate ur help in order to get my phone back

better to not do full wipe at first as i have not made any backup of my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Grimbolt:
Did you update from another CM9 build or from stock?

I once had this issue due to the wrong bootloader (forgot to tick to according box in odin)
[Galaxy S II General] benson621:
sorry, i forgot to tell, i was originally using cm9 0409 nightly
[Galaxy S II General] nicolasf:
This should be pretty obvious if you know what undervolting means and what are the possible consequences.

Anyway, just wanted to thank the devs. I'm running CM9 since video recording was fixed and it's running very well.

As a side-note, for those complaining about battery life, try uninstalling Facebook. I've replaced it with Friendcaster (not sure if it can be trusted) and my battery life was significantly higher today.

Facebook app must be awfully implemented. Their service frequently goes into a loop using 100% of one core.
[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
I can confirm.

This also happens with me. with fixed screen brightness all is fine. Auto brightness causes the recent app list to pop up whenever i turn on the screen BEFORE it actually locks
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
now we are getting somewhere. thanks for digging into this.
[Galaxy S II General] Grimbolt:
I edited my post to clear my intention.

Well, I once had this issue due to the wrong bootloader (forgot to tick to according box in odin)

What bootloader do you have?
[Galaxy S II General] sm0use:
Hi guys,

Having an issue with signal. Everything is stable and works fine. I turn my phone off at night to charge and when I turn it back on in the morning I have no signal.

I have to pull the battery and reboot for it to work. Any ideas?

i really don't know wt's going on here...:(:(
[Galaxy S II General] Grimbolt:
AFAIK you need odin or heimdall to flash the bootloader. And you need to have the right bootloader for CM to work properly.

You should have a look at the OP.

Any way to fix Market issues with compatibility? I mean revert to how it worked before the "changed build numbers for market compatibility" change a few builds back. Changing galaxys2 to GT-I9100 in build.prop didn't work(it's pretty much exactly the same as LP2 build.prop). Sorry for possibly stupid question but I've been following both CM9 threads and don't remember anyone to fix this.

I don't know if the RIL problem is still there for NITZ supported carriers but I'm having still a problem with it. It's not quite stable.

When my phone is in standby, sometimes (~5 times a day) the signal got totally lost and the battery drains about 30% in 2hrs. When I wake my phone up the signal gets back and the drain is over (2% per hour). This has to so something with RIL right? When I have some spare time I will try to make a logcat.

Anyone else having this situation and what do you do? Should it help to disable automatic time?

Overall this rom is fantastic and codeworkx did a great job. I'm looking forward and waiting patiently for a new build :)

Thank you codworkx and the whole team!

Would like to say im impressed with the latest version of CM9 normally at 9 hour mark im having to plug in to charge 13 hours and still going im happy

p.s what clock widget is that?

I am not getting a proper GPS fix. The best accuracy is 60 meters as Google maps says and the GPS fix is also delayed. Has any one else seen this issue too?

that mean i need to decompile that file , change it and then recompile it again right ?
[Galaxy S II General] Draak22:
Edit the build.prop file in /system change ro.sf.lcd_density=240 to ro.sf.lcd_density=218. Use root explorer, long press the file and chose open in text editor. Edit, save, exit and reboot.

thanks man , i did it , i thought it's more complicated than this :)

[Galaxy S II General] iinga:
The quickest and best way to change LCD density is to type the following into terminal emulator:

echo "qemu.sf.lcd_density=220" > /data/local.prop

This way will stick on new flashes, because its set in data.

Alternatively, you can create the file yourself and type it in. Change 220 to whatever density you want. If you already have settings in local.prop (unlikely unless you've put them there) remember to do >> instead of >

Hi guys. Is there a way to add native support for formats such as avi and flac? Right now I am using software decoding but sometimes it can't handle a high quality video file. Hardware decoding still the best. : D
[Galaxy S II General] cpotter1971:
REPO question

Noob to repo / git.

I have a couple of questions regarding getting the latest changes from git. I've been doing my own build of the last couple of nightlies and wondering how i can compare the commits against my local working tree? I have tried both repo diff and repo status but both return nothing. Doing a repo sync and building seems to pick up changes (i noticed this since the last build i did included the 3.0.27 kernel).

Also, the Build Date does not seem to change. It is still saying April 6th on the device but I have done 2 builds since than using the 0407 and 0409 changes. Any idea why?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] CruX.:
For me, hardware decoding works (MX Player and Dice Player).

Also, avi is a container, not a format. You find out the codec you're looking for by using "MediaInfo" (can't post outside links, meh :/)...

As a side note: I am still getting some AudioOut_1 wakelocks (all touch sounds disabled, even toggled them a few time, also TVOut is not running)... I wonder if this is normal (coming from cm7, wiped data, caches etc). It could be placebo but I think it is higher in 0409 than in 0404.

To the people who are asking about modems: try LPB as it is the only modem I've used so far which changes back to UMTS on network idle (saves quite some battery, I think).

Greetings
[Galaxy S II General] nicksbrain:
installed newest build (0409, to have video recording running) and NELP2, no problems so far. Guys, I must say that CM9 brought the fun back to the GSII.
[Galaxy S II General] jcasares:
Confirmed. Really nice find. :)

Hope it helps to fix it at last.

Well, try with a DivX encoded avi. I can't get HW with MX...

[Galaxy S II General] CruX.:
You're right, doesn't work with both MX and Dice Player, but I think s/w decoding for DivX is not that bad. AFAIK DivX should be much easier to decode than lets say h264 (which works, fortunately!).
