got the gapps working after doing a full wipe and install again of the entire rom and gapps... now google play won't install any apps giving an error trying to install anything.

Error

"App name" could not be downloaded due to an error. (921).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] k1ska:
Actually they do provide fairly comparable pictures. Yes, it won't compete with a $150 standalone camera, but in no way is it unusable. The pictures taken with the GS2 are quite astonishing considering it's a phone. I wouldn't say it wasn't a good move, either. The convenience of having your phone on you, powered up, and able to take a picture in seconds, rather than pulling out a camera you might have on you (or going to your car and getting it or what have you) and waiting until it has booted and ready to take a picture, is worth it.

Give it a bit, it does that to everyone, pretty much. Something with Play Store updating lists or something, but after about 5-10 minutes everything should work properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
you're flashing the wrong CM9 kernel then bro. here is the latest kernel from team hacksungs build. they pulled from Entropys source.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avio07:
Thanks, waited and it just worked :S
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chris.sterbank:
Thanks!

Thanks a million times over for this... I have a new phone! Enjoy some cash to the beer fund, well deserved.

As for the Google Play Store issue, I also encountered it. I didn't have anything setup (obviously), so I decided to Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik and did a format of /system (likely not necessary). I then flashed the ROM, flashed GApps and then did a Wipe Data/Cache and rebooted. On first boot I got the typical setup assistant, but couldn't sign in due to cell data not being enabled. I enabled HSPA+ data and connected to WiFi, went through my initial setup steps (Lockscreen, etc) and after about 5-10 minutes setup my Google account and was able to install / update apps. Maybe it was the 5-10 minute wait.. maybe it was clearing Data/Cache after the initial install.

Totally in love with my phone again, thanks to all the devs for making this possible =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JeremyLeroy96:
I don't know what it is, but ever since the title has claimed "Better Hardware Acceleration", homescreen scrolling seems laggier to me.

Anybody else notice this? You kind of have to be OCD to give a crap because it's so insignificant. It's just enough to annoy me though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
Try the kernel I posted a couple posts up. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jra89027:
anyone know how to extract the wallpapers from the 3/21/12 build. in particular the trebuchet wallpapers. for some reason on the new 3/25/12 build they dont seem to be there. thanks guys. great work devs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lakid06:
I tried the kernal and the installation was aborted, any ideas? I was on build 24 with enthropy newest kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
Huge difference. Thanks much for the cwm flashable zip :-D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
you're the only one with an abort error. that means you should re-download it and try again bro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
noticed today is built on new base, does that mean full wipe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arctia:
I did just a straight install from yesterday's version without wiping. The only thing you have to be careful of, is to wipe Market (Google Play)'s data before installing Gapps again. Or else market doesn't let you install certain apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuuits:
I installed this and it's saying that I don't have a MicroSD card... please help!

EDIT: oh and I did install the latest CM9 kernel posted on previous page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
thanks much, installed over yesterdays as well and no problems.

you looking in the correct directory? (emmc) i just installed todays and the new CM9 kernel and it sees mine fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 21cdb:
Loving this ROM so far! But is it just me or is the auto brightness a little flaky? It's slow to react, and sometimes it doesn't read the light sensor correctly. It's been like this with all three kernels I've tried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
Same here too. Only thing I wish is that we could save pictures to the external sd card in the camera
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
Oh wow. Scrolling is much smoother....nicey nice.....me likey....

Thanks fenny task entropy ktoon and whoever else....nice work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
did you install both, new version and new kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bugity:
I Read the thread but maybe I'm not seeing it but is there a changelog for the 3/25 rom update? I only see the 24th's changelog.

This was posted earlier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] corruptsoul:
Since updating to the build on the 25th, my typing has finally smoothed out for the most part, while my scrolling is better, but not perfect. What can you expect though? Well done people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
Yes. Both
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
Is there a newer kernal than the one in the new version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
when i posted, i didnt realize the new rom version included a new kernel.

i should've been more clear, i mean the new kernel task posted ~> here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
Wow scrolling is 10 times better with this kernel! Nice. Just currently no more voltage control.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
Hmm.. seems like Faceunlock is broken.. Google Play not detecting installed apps.. After updating to today's build + kernel.

Edit: nevermind, reboot fixed that, but now my wifi isn't connecting..

Edit 2: second reboot fixed it again.. LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Fenny:
Yeah, I think I am going to re-base off this one, and add voltage control to it. but later, when I am not exhausted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuuits:
is it required to flash this OVER a 2.3.6 ROM? because the only thing that wasn't working for me was SD card storage but others have reported it working.

I'm so confused.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] itchy5:
Hey, first of all, thanks for this awesome rom and all the hard work.

Secondly, is there anyway to turn off the touch key back lighting? I tried using custom light levels but it didn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Donmeister85:
I was wondering the same thing. This would be nice as I'm really digging the on screen buttons. Especially since you can customize the size and appearance. Not a biggie though. Gonna do some research and see what I can find.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
Turn them off in galaxy s II settings app that's included in this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fierywater:
Loving this ROM so far, thanks for all your hard work. Decided on it after nearly hurling at the sight of the travesty that is Samsung's TouchWiz'd ICS. :) Maybe I'll try a skinned TouchWiz ICS ROM later on, but for now I'm staying with either this or CM9.

That said, the haptic feedback for the touch buttons is ridiculously intense. I noticed some other people in the thread have brought this up, but it doesn't look like any of them found answers; is there any way to lower this? I'm not scared of text/hex editing system files. :) I just turned off the haptics for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Donmeister85:
This may be entirely kernel specific, but I'm using the march 24 build with entropy512's kernel right now. If you go to Galaxy S II settings, then go to sensors, you'll see at the bottom an entry dealing with the touch key backlight. You may have to check it off, then on, then off again.. Worked for me. Also, at the time, I didn't have the nav bar on. I turned it on once I rebooted after turning off the touch key backlight.

Edit: looks like Task beat me to it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
yes bro. it would be awesome. scrolling on this kernel does seem a lot smoother. whats exhausted feel like? :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Artimus009:
@task....when are you going to release some ics goodness?

Btw fenny ...again, great job on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justin860:
What kernel are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
the one i posted one page back. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24043186&postcount=1391

Wow scrolling is much improved! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
Anyone else notice that stock kernel packaged with the ROM operates in 100mhz increments, vs the 200mhz increments we're used to? I flashed the kernel task had listed and noticed is back to 200mhz steps.

Any advantage to one over the other, or reason they use different size steps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
the advantage over one or the other is for you to decide. i guess that would come down to which one works better on your device. the CM9 kernel i posted doesn't have OC/UV implemented yet. Fenny's kernel does. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
Perhaps the best thing on this ROM in my opinion is the power saver Config in ROM control. I have it set to kill data, wifi, and sync while screen is off and didn't lose a single percentage of battery over 5 hours last night. Stayed on 100%. Stunning.....just stunning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] striketrue:
mother of god that is amazing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PatriotXT92:
The sound quality of the CM9 kernel wasn't as good. I sounded a lot quieter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
its because you talk really low dude. our mumble interactions speak for itself. its because you try and sound sexy 100% of the time. lmao :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Donmeister85:
Lol... :)

In all seriousness though, is this the case? I just flashed the CM9 kernel you posted a while back after I realized that because of Entropy512's kernel wouldn't let me mount to my 32GB emmc. I was wondering where all my music went! Still a very smooth kernel, I just hope that people can hear me when I talk to them ok. Haven't tested that out yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I want to run cm9 so hard. Like HARD. but i need my camera / video. Here's hoping it gets fixed soon, i love these devs and this community. Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheTodFather:
Yeah, i wish i had some interesting things to take pictures and videos of. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] splttingatms:
Thanks for the settings but is there a way to allow third party apps to modify setting? I normally use Screen Filter app to disable hardware button lights and it works in GB. I'm guessing its a kernel thing. Just wanted to let devs know this feature does not work on this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jaguars34:
Hey just to make it clear would the newest release on this rom be a full wipe? And I was going to flash over bone stock 2.3.6 with entropys kernal package after I root it again, is that safe? Sorry I'm a bit paranoid haha, just got my phone fixed from a hard brick, and I have heard that some people have trouble flashing over stock 2.3.6 rooted. Thanks guys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Koizuma:
So far running extremely smooth, one thing that I notice to be off. Was with underclocking, I got mine set to go no higher then 1.0GHz once in a while it'll go up to 1.3GHz, not a big deal but am interesting bug.

Swyped from my SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
There's absolutely no reason anybody should have to flash back to stock in order to flash a custom rom. If coming from a Samsung rom full wipe. If coming from cm9/aokp just wipe cache and dalvik.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ymcmbforever:
Sd card external dosnt work with this or cm9 ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
luckily i have a titanium backup of camera ics+. i bought it a while ago. did a restore on the app and updated via google play.

i tested video recording and was only able to record up to 7 secs and phone froze up. it doesnt work for me.

edit: btw, im using the latest cm9 kernel 3.25 task650 posted. i wonder if it has anything to do with it? what kernel are you guys on with working video recording?

Videocam Illusion works I got the idea to try it because it works on existz aopx rom for the inspire which I put on my son's phone.

Edit...the videos will play inside the app or using root explorer to open sdcard/mnt/videocamillusion they will play using mx video player but not showing in gallery.

Edit#2.....Now they show up in mx video player and play fine I don't know why they weren't there before.

ok guys, i know i'm a noob technically(although i have been lurking the forums for about 2 years) and i'm sure this is going to come as a noob question. but i was just curious about the stock sammy task manager app working with AOKP. I know AOKP isn't a sammy based rom but I managed to get it to work on a previous version of AOKP but now i can not seem to get it to work? I believe i got it to work on a LPH or LPJ kernal. for some reason i can't seem to live without this app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adfurgerson:
If it is what I am thinking g it is you could try Active Apps from market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tratliff:
The typing lag isn't as prevalant for me as it was. I'm using the ICS keyboard and it only tends to lag on me when I type too fast, but I think that has more to do with me than the keyboard or the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
Ah, you are correct sir. I was using a diff ROM/Kernel on Saturday when I was using video recording. Yesterday I was taking pictures and using panorama, but didn't try video.

Been running this for a few hours. Everything is running pretty smoothly so far. Had the data issue but reboot fixed it. Tried flashing inverted gmail after gapps and upon reboot, gmail disappeared and could not be found in market. Tried flashing inverted gmail again, nothing. Reflashed gapps and it reappeared. NBD, inverted wasn't necessary.

Anyways, just out of curio, I noticed that enabling status bar transparency had a notice that it may affect battery life. Just wondering why this is? Not a complaint, just a "pick the dev's mind" situation.

Sorry if it is poor manners to quote my own post but I was hoping someone more knowledgeable would look into this. All I can figure out is videocamillusion app uses .mov format and that is probably why it doesn't show in gallery but can be played with mx videoplayer. Any input on this would be appreciated.

Edit again.....I used an app called The File Converter it uploads it to the "cloud " and converted it from .mov to. mp4 now it is in gallery. Not idea solution but it works.)

Some times, after doing a complete wipe, the ROM flashes without the APN settings. You may have to enter them manually. As a tip, the HSPA+ APN settings are not always better than the old 3G settings. Try them both and see what works for you.

By the way everyone, my call quality is much much better with this rom compared to MIUI. I was on the phone with my mom, she always complained that she couldn't hear me well, she made it a point to say that she can hear me better and clearer than ever before. Lol random

Just flashed cm9 from 3-25. Seems nice. I like the fluid scrolling.

Here is a screeny of my batt stats, I'm a heavy user I'd say. Phone was at 9% but I forgot to take a screenshot before I charged it so it charged to 10%. Screen was on about 90% brightness as it always is, also on 1400(ondemand).

Is there an AOS bug present in this rom? I came from CM9 daily and had no problems running it all day. My battery life is at 30% and with little usage. Also my AOS usage is at 65%! I know its not a good thing to go off the battery stats but I'm just curious. I also have juicedefender.. Thought i'd save me but no... Maybe the phone isn't in deep sleep?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dschreiber69:
Question...

When I first flashed this... I think the 23rd release... when I would go to add an appointment in the calendar app, when looking at the month view, I could select a certian day and it would show a plus sign, if pressed again, I could then add an appointment for that day. I am now running the 24th release and when doing the same thing, it now just brings up my agenda view :confused:

I have tried clearing app data to no avail... I am gunna flash the 25th release here in a few, but currently it is kind of a pain to add an appointment.

Anyone else running into this?

Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Overall I am very happy with this baby!

Are you sure you're on latest cm9 kernel 3.25? I thought you can't over clock or under volt. At least I can't.
