Going to guess by your "not adjusting properly" comment that you mean specific and accurate placement of widgets, icons, etc on each screen. I had a similar problem with Trebucket and Nova launchers (the "default" options out there now for ICS ROMs) so I have gone back to good old trusty ADW Launcher EX (the paid version) that put in ICS-like functionality around things like creating folders by just dragging one icon on top of another, placing folders in the launch bar, etc, and couldn't be happier with it. I find ADW Ex has very accurate placement of icons/widgets, even after reducing DPI (which I always do - can't stand the standard 240 so I go to 192). After installing ADW Ex you can download a free ICS theme that gets a few icons to make it ICS default-like. Specifically you'll need to change the launcher shortcut icon to show the three-dots-in-a-circle, now synonymous with the ICS look.
[Galaxy S II General] :
to be honest i am not really fussed about the icons as such it was placing the widgets and getting them to fit properly on the homescreens. looks like i was to spoilt by gingerbread to much. do you use this now as your daily driver?

EDIT: I know i have used few roms lately but my word ICS is the place to be now and i really hate being back on GB as everything is so light with cm9
[Galaxy S II General] kitecarl:
Yep, never going back to Gingerbread for me - CM9 ALL THE WAY! However, I do have Checkrom as a restore option just in case I'm out with my family and want to get a video of the kids. C'mon Samsung, release that Kernel code!!!

You'll find ADW Ex does a GREAT job with adjusting widget size - find it the best of the best when it comes to that. Works flawlessly on ICS. Buy it on the market, and don't look back! (Also, if my posts helped, click the Thanks button!)

Have you got any mods installed?
[Galaxy S II General] kitecarl:
Having no problem with the latest actually! Installed it without any problems over the previous one. I had tried the Sammy ics based roms found in the Development (not original dev) forum, and while I liked them for having video recording support, it all comes back to the aosp goodness cm9 provides, especially for things like the lock screen. Watching a few projects on the Development forum still with interest, but don't see myself leaving cm9 anytime soon.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Cheers fella. What i will do wait for a new build and then flash away. Then use your advice with ADW EX which i already have and enjoy the goodness of cm9. Thanks again friend.:)

Hmm I'm using the 26-1 build as daily now, and I feel like upgrading. Is the 29-1 build or the 1-2 build more stable for daily use?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II running CM9
[Galaxy S II General] adam1741:
I'm running build 29 and it runs great. I had SD card issues with the latest build. Anything on the SD card wasn't recognized. There is a fix for it. It was an issue with the rooted kernel. So I'll probably try the new build again soon and try the fix and see if it works.

no root access?

I Installed the latest update-cm-9-02012012, and did the full wipe etc, no issues till I attempted to install titanium, apparently its not rooted? Am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Do you have Ti installed and it's telling you you're not rooted? If so:

Manage Apps > Ti back up > Force stop/clear data
[Galaxy S II General] mp3geek:
Nope, cleared data, re-launched Titanium, still thinks it has no root
[Galaxy S II General] cloak:
I'm running the Feb rom and gapps and have no issues at all. Tb is rooted and running well. I always do a full wipe, clearing the dalvik cache and fix filepermissions with cwm after i have installed the rom.

I also remove the battery for a minute, fore sure.

I'm using the xxkg5 modem, the touchpal keyboard and touchpro launcher. This build is rock stable, battery efficient and the kg5 modem gives an nearly instant gps fix on my phone. After a full day heavy using the system as a phone, pda and carnavigation system , it feels more responsive as gb . I 'm using it as a daily driver now.

For me this is amazing using an alpha build as a stable daily system, never done this before!
[Galaxy S II General] SGS2Pwns:
Does superuser tell you titanium has root privileges?

[Galaxy S II General] MPodlesnik:
Hello! I have installed latest version twice. But i have problems with touch.Touch is working but It is not very responsible and have lag. I didnt try full wipe! Anyone with same problems ?
[Galaxy S II General] SGS2Pwns:
Known issue & I also have it. No fix that I know of.
[Galaxy S II General] xTristinx:
How come only some roms (like Miui) only support the ability to send mms with data switched off. Yes I know the data switches on momentarily to allow you to receive and send mms but how come cm9 doesn't support this amazing feature?
[Galaxy S II General] MPodlesnik:
OK thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] SGS2Pwns:
...because CM9 is in development and a stupid feature isn't on the top of their list of stuff to be done. Noobs like you is why devs get so angry.
[Galaxy S II General] xTristinx:
No need to get angry as I appreciate all that the devs have done. Its just a simple question. I just thought that they didn't wish to support this because they haven't had it in previous versions of CM either.
[Galaxy S II General] z3r0n3:
From what I tested, only CM9. Tried on XXLPB and instead of Touch Recovery I went to e3 Recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:

[Galaxy S II General] rhyme:
Im running latest cm9 02-01 with lpb modem. And so far had no single forced close.

I am verry happy wih the stability and the battery usage of the phone. It has been great to se such great battery. Mx player runs all vids i would want smoothly in softwqre mode. Cal experience is good. Gps works fine.

Only one thing bothers me is that scrolling is not always correctly registeree

It even manages to move backwards when i intend to go to he right.

Sure there ia no fix for this?
[Galaxy S II General] Mechanisms:
Don't think there is a fix. I, and others, also experience this.

Apart from this the ROM is really good.
[Galaxy S II General] LiorScreamsSandwich:
did someone experienced the issue when the battery mod shows "100%" for something like two hours and then suddenly it drops down to "80%" like a delay or something like that, that doesn't makes any sense.. i have to deal with it in any of the builds ive installed and it doesn't seems to get better...not a big issue but still it gives me a headache...

random freeze :(

hey guys,

i tried to search for similar posts but was unable to find any.

i have this issue with cm9 (i had it also with cm7): at random times my phone freezes - it can be at starting an app, browsing internet, starting a video call i gtalk or just browsing through a menu.

The only way to be able to use my phone is to take out the battery and start the phone again.

I cannot reproduce the issue as it's really random and can happen 2 times a day or once for a few days.

I didn't have this issue running checkrom or any other rom.

Any ideas as what might cause the problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] Sirklip:
I have seen mention that it does work with ICS,

But if you flash that file it is not permanent.

It needs to be intergrated into a Kernel.

so hopefully soon developers will update to this version

What theme do you have to download to find this 3 dots in a circle icon??
[Galaxy S II General] :

Twitter Contacts Sync

Google Browser Sync

Other than that, no FC at all, good battery life, need BLN :)

Nah it's not in that one, already tried. That's only got the standard 6 dots in a circle icon.

[Galaxy S II General] returnzer0:
It's a known issue with the latest kernel that secure storage on the SD card isn't working properly on CM9. Something about Samsung recently checking to see if the kernel is signed properly or not.

Apps should still work if installed to internal storage though.

[Galaxy S II General] Niqoro:
It is possible. You can either use "airdroid" (free on android market) or "droid explorer" for Windows 7.

With "droid explorer" you need to have USB debugging switched on and connect your device as a camera.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for clearing that up. I was just thinking of flashing it, but if I look through this thread, I see that it's still not suitable as daily driver. Will try it anyway. That's what ClockWorkMod is for. ;-)

battery drain is a hit and miss. I have only on the first boot after flash. your mileage may vary.

[Galaxy S II General] m00moo:
freeze it, then go to take a picture, or use a file browser to try browse the SD card.
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
For Large apps,

back up your CM9 then revert back to your CM7, download mybackuproot (its free for root users) back up all your large apps.... then restore your CM9..... redownload mybackuproot and restore your large apps.

Now that you have them installed, they stay on the internal memory and when theres updates you can update them to later versions.

Tested and confirmed working (its what i did)

*Note, you can probs do this with other back up tools like titanium too but i use mybacku
