Status 7

Hello!

I've got the same problem as mentioned before, with the getprop("ro.product.device")... error message when trying to install the nightly build of CM9. I've seen some other packages (radio-cm9-KJ4.zip) that should fix this, but I cannot get my head around how to install that. For now I cannot boot my phone, but I can access both ClockworkMod Recovery and the default Download mode. How can I flash the file so I can get my phone working again?

This is the first time I'm flashing this phone... =( Please someone out there... Heeeelp poor me :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] loughary:
Well...nothing else you could download a stable rom such as Unnamed rom. You can mount the USB storage from CWM transfer the Rom to your phone then install it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] allwise:
Worked!

Great! Got it working now again. Puhh! Thanks a lot!!

But I don't get it about the error i get when trying to install CM9. Whats the error and can it be resolved?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] loughary:
What rom were you using when you tried to install CM9? Certain Roms don't play nice when tryng to install a custom rom like CM9. I'd recommend re-downloading CM9 just to make sure it's not corrupt and install again...good luck.

Would anyone be able to make an updated on screen button mod? That thread seems to have gone cold. I would like to try the update, but would like to keep the on screen buttons.

Did you change your density??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] f100cleveland:
Not to start anything here, but did the cm9 team hang it up cuz of all the repeated, stupid stuff people were asking in the cm9 discussion thread?

I tried following it but it just got so hard. Too many expected cm9 to be bug free and work perfect.

I hope they continue development on it. Considering the early stages of it plus our great devs here on I-777, we can use it as a fully functional daily driver.

Update your market! Force stop and clear data.. reopen Google play store! :)

Try the " download all files " app from the market, should fix pesky browser issues or use dolphin or another browser.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Globalrebel:
Thank you to everyone for their work on getting this build and all other builds of ICS out.

I tried it out and while I do like the new features, the scrolling, and responsiveness of it just aren't up to par with CM7 yet. I am sure this will only get better with time. I think I've been spoiled by the GB CM7, and I must say I can't WAIT to see what the team does once Samsung releases the source!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nate25:
this rom is good. but it drains my battery like crazy. about 10% every 30 to 45 minutes with screen off lol. seems like way to much. had to go back to my other rom

I am just digging my cm9 sammich. Battery is really holding up well for a beta, even with the wakelock app running... Needed a couple days to settle in. Getting between 12-14 hours before needing to charge. Thanks again to all the devs!

That is awesome to hear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tiwey:
Just because people aren't posting, doesn't mean it's dead... I'm just waiting for a fix for the random screen-ons... Cuz that is absolutely killing my battery.. I've noticed that if music is playing it doesn't happen for me (although that kills battery too)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
Read my OP, the "Wake Lock" app fix has been there for days now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chadrick.7:
There is a work around for the screen flashes in the op. I figured that out a couple of days ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ArtificialMusik:
Awesome rom! I love it!

I know you guys aren't particularly caring about user reports on battery and **** like that. But today and every other day this week that I've worked has truly been awesome. This phone has been my assistant and stuck with me for a very long time!

I used to want to sell it but now it's got amazing battery life. I don't have a random screen wake, so I don't have an app. Phone calls work amazing, people have no trouble hearing me and I don't have a problem hearing them. So it's good for my DD!

If this helps deduce what could be causing them, I can tell you guys exactly what I did.

I rooted using the first method available, got the phone the day it came out. I had the download counter set and it gave me an i-9100 boot screen with the triangle every time. I've flashed a lot of roms, been on ICS when it was in the alphas and then built a few of my own with Flashaholics. Never did anything with OTA's, never played with any mods. I unlocked with the first unlock method available. (Search "Galaxy S Unlock" in Google Play) and I got a jig from MobileTechVideos and reset my download counter.

After that I put in my own image for logo_att.jpg and used WIUI since.

Now I have ICS CM9 and it works great. As you can tell I don't have a drainage problem and I know I don't have a screen wake. I've been listening to music for about 5 hours today and had no problems. This is an awesome rom, and i recommend it to anyone wanting to use ICS! Use AirDroid of you want to have OTA access, everything works great from it! You can also reply to your texts if you are out of the room where your phone is!

Also highly recommend using the instructions in OP for LMT! Great app! Feels awesome to use gestures to open my keys and use anything and everything as I please, without wasting screen space.

Great work Task650 and Ktoonsez. Much respect for you guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
Thanks man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tiwey:
LMAO! wow... We'll thanks now I know I read the first post several times and never noticed "wakelock" or if I did I didn't make the connection... We'll in that case thank you very much guys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chadrick.7:
No problem. I hope you enjoy the rom until we get a official one available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smjfosho:
i changed density back to 240 but some apps still arent compatible even though i already have them installed, so i cant update them.

any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chadrick.7:
Go into recovery and go to advanced then fix permissions. Should do the trick.

About your feedback

I don't know what you been doing, but you battery life is awesome, today I had 40% with almost 5 hours of usage, I had 3g on all the time, could that be the problem? also, I installed the wake lock app and fixed the screen on issue, what's your setup? are you using any app to optimize battery?

Regards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Grab thunderbolt scripts (good starting point) read entropy's "useful init.d scripts" post and learn some stuff and you'll be able to get the desired battery life on this from.

My before and after comparison was 8% in 30 minutes improved to 8% in 2 and a half hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ArtificialMusik:
Having 3G on all the time could be a problem but I personally found it to be no problem. Maybe you have Sync on all the time? I have toggles I just turn off while I go into work, I still get the important data, MMS, and **** like that.

I highly recommend using JuiceDefender, I bought the Ultimate edition and it works and runs perfectly. It turns off my data when I'm not using it, I can still receive MMS while it's on so it pretty much gives me what I need. Anything else, Just follow my initial setup, I really don't have much to say other than that. It's phenomenal though, I don't have any of the problems discussed. You'd have to see my phone to believe it. Tempted to drive up to Tempe(I live in a small town like 40 miles away) to show Ktoonsez his beautiful work!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jsolares:
I'm on the AOKP rom but it's pretty much the same experience as you, also have the i9100 boot logo with the triangle, but i don't use my phone as much as you, it's basically just a phone and email thing for me :), and unless i'm away from the computer i don't check them on the phone, it's been 1d5hrs and also 70% remaining. my screen usage in those 29hrs is just 26min, i could probably do with a feature phone, but i also need something that can ssh for that 0.001% of the time when a server craps out and i'm out.

I'm going to install something or play videos or something that keeps the screen on while also doing something and see how it goes.

The CM9 boot animation installation aborts in CWM. Anyone know how to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yeah, read the OP :rolleyes:. The installation isn't through CWM.. its by placing the file in system/media using root explorer or something similar. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] melbourne408:
Very true, make sure you change permissions. Reboot afterwards, make sure you know read write & read only.

Found other solution to screen wake?

I was using the wakelock app to keep the screen from waking up but earlier today I switched out the battery on my phone for an extended battery (GTMax 3500mAh battery) and forgot to restart the wakelock application since it resets when the phone reboots. I have had my phone by my side for over 4 hours and havent had a single screen wake. Not sure if it is just luck or related to the extended battery but it seems like this might provide another temporary solution to the problem. I will use the extended battery all of tomorrow to test out my theory and report back.

---------- Post added at 02:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 AM ----------

This is the battery I'm talking about. Not trying to pimp out the battery so people buy it, I think it actually stopped the screen wake problem. Will report more tomorrow.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Regarding battery power your phone should last for a while if your not surfing the internet. The drain on that is intense if you continuously use it. If you use Gmail for email its efficient, a suggestion if your using it change the days to sync to all or 999 and download them on wifi. That way you will stress your phone less when looking for older emails. I gave up on K-9 it drained way to much power.

Also go through your apps some run and you never really use. If you don't want to uninstall freeze them.

I also charge whenever im in the car or at the office. If you have the stay awake options I.e. screen stays awake while charging it will drastically slow down your charging. I've had it just keep it at a constant level and never go up.

Also change your couple governor to ondemand. If you want even drop cpu max to 1000mhz.

If you don't use, gps, bluetooth or wifi turn them when your not using them.

I would recommend if you have the triangle to back up cm9 restore to CM7 and then follow directions on how to remove it with mobile Odin. then restore back to cm9. It looks so much better.

I have had the best performance with the KK6 modem.

Unless I am surfing all day, with out charging in between I do a good 12 hours when I am awake, and it'll die in the morning the next day if I don't put it in the charger.

OK sorry I'm on my phone and don't feel like messing around with the search so I apologize if this has already been asked...but....

Is NFC working on this ROM and if so how to enable it...also has the Android Beam application been removed (maybe its copyrighted or something)

Thanks for the help guyd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
NFC, really? Its not even fully working on GB roms and you want it on ICS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tiwey:
Well I haven't been able to test it on GB roms, it was a simple question out of curiosity.. I wasn't sure because since the 3.0 kernel was released Linux has native support for NFC so it should be simpler to enable it through entropy's kernel...or so I would think..but I'm not the expert so that's why I'm asking the devs on xda

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] loughary:
Not sure I'd call CM7 outdated..considering I just downloaded a updated nightly today. So..basically you want the latest and greatest cutting edge rom but you don't want to have to tweak it. Not sure you're going to find that in the "Ported Development" section...but good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SquidLord:
Thanks a bunch for this! I know it's done, but it's a great peek at something for the i777.

I do have a couple questions though. LMT, is that supposed to let me use the hardware buttons? I couldn't get that working and went with the on-screen buttons, still though, I'm curious. Also, has anyone tried enabling "Force GPU Rendering" under "Settings->Developer Options"? The development emulator doesn't like that option being enabled, so I've been a bit cautious with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
hardware buttons will not work until we get kernel source.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpstiehl:
Having used the on-screen software buttons since installing CM9 I wish I could cut the bottom of my phone off! Like for reals. I wish the hardware buttons weren't there at all.

But anywho. I EFing love my SGS2 w/CM9 I think it's the greatest thing since, well ever. I seriously have no problems with my rig. I can't tell you the last time I saw my screen turn on w/o provoking it to do so. I have no deep sleep according to CPU Spy so I am not sure if WakeLock actually keeps it's setting after a reboot but I don't think it does. Anyway, the screen is not randomly coming on for WHATEVER reason, I don't care either way. I use this as my DD and can't be happier with it. I use it while I am running and biking for hours running Pandora with Bluetooth and GPS and this ish just works. With CM7 I had trouble with BT in the car, not with CM9.

Thank you task, thank your ktoonsez and whoever else for this and your time and effort.

Now if we can just get rid of the kids who fill up an otherwise great thread with their useless bickering and snide comments. Seriously people lets all try to be adults and stop the nonsense. You are a plague on this site and IMO should be removed.

QUESTION!

I am just wondering if anyone has touched their Automatic Backlight settings. It seems like my SGS2s sensor is a bit retarded I mean slow to pickup changes in light. This very well could be that the firmware is not ready and I am VERY okay with that but I'd also like to know if by chance it's just my device. I am familiar with the settings under Display and had customized this to the max when I was running CM7 so I know it's not any of those user configurable options.

Also, anyone know which Titanium Backed-up line item would be responsible for said settings? I didn't do a full restore because I wasn't sure what from CM7 would be compatible with CM9.

Sorry for the long post. Peace! - :)

This has already been posted in this thread. It will do a lot of good if sources are released concurrently, which Samsung is legally obligated to do.

On a sidenote, this link mentions that Android Beam in integrated, which is an NFC based tech, so that would imply Samsung is finally putting the NFC chip to work in these phones.

same here , there is a 3/5 seconds delay in automatic backlight . If I use the screen in sunlight it takes full 5 seconds for the display to correct . Mine was a full reset and cache wipes . I feel its after update-NIGHTLY-CM9-ATTGalaxyS2_3-5-12 . Just waiting for the kernel to get released and devs can work upon it but still not complaining . The ROM is awesome and fully functional except known issues

My battery life has been improving daily , I feel . Yesterday in night after full charge it lost only 3% in 6 hours . It cannot be possible if it didnt go in deep sleep . I am not using the wakelock app . Now 65% battery left and 15 hours and 30 minutes on battery running .

And forgot to add , under clocked it to 1ghz , one of the reason for battery improvement
