Regarding the location of the external sd. In CM it is (rightfully so) in /emmc. The issue is that there are apps that look in /sdcard/external_sd. I have been trying to have it mount there instead (I was able to do it with CM7), but no success. Has anyone tried to accomplish this?

One thing is online stream radio, other completly diferent is fm radio.

Online radio is a solution if you have wifi or a good data plan. But it´s really harsh to the battery.

Fm radio uses the fm radio module hardware of the phone. Would be glad even if CM9 didn´t bring a native app for this but having the ability of installing a 3rd party app like Spirit FM to make the hardware work. It´s a shame having hardware for it and don´t use it at all...
[Galaxy S II General] mfenetre:
Thanks for your input.

I've been using TuneIn also, and it works great. However, TuneIn is a web radio/streaming application, in contrast to Spirit FM which is an experimental FM radio application (=it relies on the hardware FM module of the phone, i.e. it does more or less the same thing as the Smasung FM radio application).

So in order to be clearer, I was speaking about 3rd party FM radio/tuner apps.

On a "regular" linux system, a symlink should do the trick. I don't know if those work the same way with Android.

Ah, the Indonesian one. (Different changelog than XXLPQ) I can't say anything about that one...could be a bootloader problem as someone else has already stated.

Personally, I would try flashing DXLP7 again and then flash 0319. Don't forget to wipe data / cache.

Hi, I've tried several youtube videos with flashplayer on the stock browser and on the opera browser. It doesn't seem to work.

Any word on this?

there's no way I'm using the newest build, I had 20 minutes ago 15% of my battery left, wifi on and brightness about 33%, 5 minutes ago I started to watch youtube videos with wifi and same brightness and in this point I plugged the stock charger, now I have watched videos and I have 1% of my battery left. Anyone else experiencing similar problem.

flashed old bootloader

flashed cm9 19032012 (downloaded 10 times from different repo) md5 is right...

wipe chache, dalwik, and tried clear data and formatting memory but...

stuck in bootscreen before the startup video

flashed again the 18032012 and that release work...

i don't understand why 19032012 wont boot up...
[Galaxy S II General] D79_:
Yeh i agree with ya, chrome must of needed a good kernel fix. Just needs flash and user agent and chrome will be tops :)
[Galaxy S II General] --anx--:
The latest NIGHTLY (0319) seems to be compiled with a kind of "hurry"...I'll try to explain: 0318 has by default the right time zone, has the right language recognizing after the first boot, has "on demand" on governor already set by default, and the touch was ok and perfect as usual...

This latest 0319 has touch response a little bit "laggy" and not immediate as it have to be, especially on the page scrolling (launcher) and on the notifications "slide out"...little things that on the previous 0318 was absolutely "natural" and good...

Maybe the euphoria of the newly released codes by Samsung produced this "fast nightly release" only one day after 0318...

Just to be precise, I've installed it as a totally new rom (even if I had 0318 before...), with cache, data/factory and dalvik reset...and a cache/dalvik pass after rom and gapps installation...

Anyway, this is my experience, of course...

I'll wait the next nightly! At the moment I'm back to 0318...
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
It's a totally different kernel. I think it's expected for some things to misbehave.

Have you had time to look at the video encoding code? Does it look good for fixing the video recording, or it's a total mess, and needs lots of work?

[Galaxy S II General] Ramelov:
The only thing made in a hurry is perhaps wrong default kernel governor. Otherwise kernel works perfectly. Look at the first two betas of Siyah kernel - both had serious faults connected with deep sleep and kernel panics. This kernel works rock stable. it's significantly better than previous kernel in terms of battery life too. You've made a very bad choice going back to previous build. Whenever a new build is out there are always people complaining and going back to "previous build" - usually it's caused by faulty flashing, but they know better.

[Galaxy S II General] Doopliss:
I was getting stuck on the yellow triangle splash screen with the 3/19 nightly (despite fully wiping and checking MD5s), but I've managed to get past it. This is what I did (don't take it as exact instuctions):

- Flash official Samsung LPQ ROM with Odin.

- First time it was still stuck on the splash screen, so I flashed it again.

- Rebooted into stock recovery, wiped data and cache.

- Booted fully into TouchWiz hell.

- Back to download mode, Odin flashed CF-Root LPQ-PROPER-v5.4

- Booted into TouchWiz again, took a longer look at the horror of it.

- Reboot to CWM recovery, wiped data/cache/dalvik, install 3/19 nightly.

- Normal reboot and it worked.

I feeling cocky/lazy though, so to try and get all my apps and settings back I rebooted into recovery again, restored my last working CM9 backup from the old nightly, wiped cache and dalvik again, installed 3/19 nightly and 3/17 gapps, rebooted, set governor to ondemand, rebooted again and it was all swell.

Hope this helps someone.

Reason to upgrade?

Just rooted into CM9 20120318 yesterday, is there any reason to get the 19th's Nightly Build? Or should I wait until further upgrades are avaliable?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] JacquesR:
Too soon to say, in my view. The 19th build might have better battery life, but we can't know yet. I'm not seeing any clear advantages other than that (potential) one, and 18th was stable and smooth (besides known issues, of course). Up to you - I suspect many here flash the newest because, like me, they can't resist.

My issue still remains, although with a slight change.

Every time I use the GPS, the data connection drops. But on 1903 it gets the connection back after a short while, whereas on 1403 and 1803 it didn't get back until after I quit the program using GPS.

I have tried different radios, and that didn't do any difference. I've attached two logcats, one from 1803 and one from 1903, both taken while opening Google Maps to demonstrate the bug.

the kernel that you flash though Odin itself has to be an "insecure" to enable root access, once you have done that, root would be available...this isnt the beginners guide to Rooting 101...

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 AM ----------

Since you havent rooted before, refer to the link below to find the suitable kernel to enable root. This is the older way to achieve root to install other ROMs, takes more time but enables root on your existing ROM prior to you changing to other ROMs...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

The CM9 Team have recently devised new ways of installing CM9 with root directly onto your device called CM9 Resurrection Edition, with the direct use of Odin. Its easier and faster...refer to link below.

[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
I'm still trying to work my way through battery drain issues - fully accept that I can't expect stupendous life on a beta, but over the last few days I have gone from 'quite good' to 'woeful'.

Having asked if anyone knows the code to bring up the Fast Dormancy menu in ICS - no one does apparently - I have also tried looking at things that may have changed over the last few days.

To that end, I stripped out a bunch of widgets and disabled Nova Launcher in case it was that. No joy.

What I do seem to see, however, is a correlation with WiFi and proximity to my router. I'm practically sat on it at the moment and my battery is draining faster even than the average tolerance levels on XDA (of late).

Looking at today's battery graph, the flattest sections have been when I am furthest from the router. Reduced drain when I'm out of range makes some sort of sense, but slower drain when the signal is weakest makes no sense at all to me. Does it make any sense to any of my esteemed colleagues on here?
