Is FRONT camera working for you (not the one that is 8mpix with flash light)?

I flashed CM9 22/04 and on CM9 kernel both cameras work.

On siyah 3.1 8mpix works, front camera doesn't (FC after taking a picture)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darkgoon3r96:
Please don't bump your post in just 8 minutes.

If anyone knows the answer, I am sure he will help ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] noobsgs2:
Yes that one is working too

i got 3.0.15-Siyah-v3.1rc6+ so it shouldnt be korean based right?

thanks for the heads up.

are there any successful cases where they fixed the corrupted data partition using JTAG? I'm gonna try it tonight myself.

I confirm that point CM9 22/04 (with "Use internal storage" untiked) + Siyah 3.1 = front camera FC trying to save file.

I can turn on wifi-direct and its activated in statusbar on stock LP7 with 3.1
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] noobsgs2:
so basically

3.0.28 rc6 with camera FC -> 3.1 with no wipes/nandroid

3.0.15 rc6 without camera FC -> 3.1 as we normally do

to be sure always 3.1 with no wipes/nandroid

correct me if im wrong
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] guzer:
yeah its switchable but i cant find my buddy... and he cant find me either. i guess it depends on the new wifi driver in 3.1

why dont we all donate a few dollars to help pay for the jtag service for the few people that got themself a brick. any extra goes to GM for thx for what he has done for the galaxy s2 community. whats 1 little glitch in an otherwise f#&king awesome kernal
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MistahBungle:
Great idea Ben :) Happy to throw a lazy 20 or two in as long as it's done/administered properly & ensured it goes to legit people.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kazuni:
Even though I am ultimately not in the receiving end, thanks first of all for both of your efforts. This is why it makes this community great.

I'm going to try JTAG service tonight - since one of my friend I met has a riff box. Will tell you guys the result asap :)

P.S. the Odin flash got stuck here:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MistahBungle:
Good luck. Fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kazuni:
it works by creating a backup of your /efs folder, which include files that are unique to each and every SGS2 device, including information such as IMEI, IMSI, etc.

Without these files, your device will not be able to receive / make any calls. (Modem will not be working properly).

if i connect my keyboard my phone crashes and go to kernel panic mode. :(

hope for some fixes.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] theangi:
Flashed 3.1 as soon as it was released, as I normally do: flashing kernel cleaning script and then flashing 3.1, all this with lp3. No problem, camera, front camera, sd, no battery drain till now, wifi working, no fc with extweaks...Everything smooth.

I seem to be one lucky guy...

The last 2 days i've messed with CM9 0414 to 0422, various versions of Siyah 3.1rc6 and countless wipes and nandroids.

And i had the cam issue... Now i'm reading about hard bricks. Saved by the bell i'd say. :)

Well, i guess freedom always comes at a price. :o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] janreiviardo:
Can anyone tell me if there will be a problem if I flash 3.1 on Hydrogen-ICS Rom? I've heard that in 3.1, internal and external are switched and Hydrogen is not using the conventional way. It still uses sdcard as internal mem and emmc as external.

as for the Camera issue, I can confirm this on hydrogen using default front camera. It FCs once I take photo and I think because it automatically points to a location. Tried other camera app like camera zoom fx where location is pointed to emmc/dcim/camera and both 8mp and front camera are working fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
I know what the efs folder holds, I want to know how often and when does the automatic backup of the folder runs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rauschkugl:
I think it's running one time after flashing. Don't know if it'll run again if you remove the backup files from the default location.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] harish_hpd:
Im using CM9 latest nightly + siyah kernal 3.1. I can confirm tht front camera force closing when it tries to save the picture. Tried with camera and camera ICS.

I am having sd card mounting issue as well with the latest 3.1. I dont have an external sd card. People who have external sd card may not face any sd card mounting issue. It happens for those who doesnt have an external sd as far as i know. Codeworkx said to check an option under storage configuration if we have internal 16gb memory only. Everything works well under stock CM kernal. But not with latest Siyahv 3.1. For your information GM. Its only a bug report. Please fix this. Thanks for ur awesome work :)

Thanks for the answer. :)

yesterday, i've got "tictictic" on my phone.... today no, so i don't know if i flash siyah or not :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorg:
Gokhan,

what is the reason for latest kernel version obsession?

There are absolutely no reason to update kernel version for embedded systems. Why not concentrate on bug fixings on 3.0.15? New kernel builds ofthen have nothing to do with our very limited system, but more likely will have more incompatibilities because nobody maintain exynos specific features to make them in takt with latest changes in kernel builds. Samsung's kernel is the fork of 3.0.15 with some specific to our system additions. It's not a mainstream of generic linux kernel. There are laready some incompatibilities introduced by new builds in application manager, in camera. Who knows what other bugs it will produce.

That's sadlest point of Siyah kernel. I like siyah, but i hate movement to new kernel builds.

I really hope, Gokhan will switch back to stable and most compatible 3.0.15 build.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] confusedmuse:
Gökhan, will you upload a fixed rc6?

I just changed from CM9 to Hydrogen ICS, because recent CM9 builds have the Accelerometer & Compass not working.

But Siyah 3.1 don't work properly with the old mount points of Hydrogen...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gaui:
That's something Hydrogen should fix.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] confusedmuse:
I ask because Gökhan stated that he will reupload rc6 for those who want to stay with the old mount points.

The only ROM right now that uses the new ones is CM9, but the sensor HAL is broken.

I'd stay with CM9 but i don't want to loose 2 of the most used sensors. :o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rawi666:
Sensor Test and Z-Device Test are working fine on my CM9 22/04.

What exactly is broken on CM9 ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] confusedmuse:
Screebl (mess),

GPS Status & Toolbox (mess),

Navigon (could find your location, but it's a pain in the ass - especially on foot)

e.g.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cheewaca:
I disagree with you. If you prefer the version 3.0.15 use a previous version siyah or other kernel based on the same.

There are other 3.0.28 based kernels that are running without problem.

Back to base 3.0.15 is back and not evolve which I think contradicts the general idea of ​​the kernel.

The idea of not taking updates often without comment seems to me absurd. Nobody forces you to upgrade to the latest version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rawi666:
Well... I checked GPS Status & Toolbox and it works well. All sensors seem to be working properly....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] confusedmuse:
Do we speak of the same ROM? CM9 later than 0419 test build?

It's a known issue in CM9 thread. There's a video made by a user showing how weird the gyro sensor & compass are acting in GPS Status.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rawi666:
Yep, CM9 22/04.

I'll look for the video you mentined and compare with what I see on my device.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] imileimile:
I can confirm that gyro sensor and compass are acting weird on CM9-2204 built. GPS status app is working but the readings on gyro and compass are weird.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gabx:
You can. I am running 0320, but beta4 is not working with this build.

There is a thread about CM9/Syiah cross use in the General section.

So ill have to stay with CM9 Kernel until Gokhan releases a compatible version right?, im tempted!

I have a bug (apparently I'm the only one here not talking about something else...)

I set Touch Key Light Duration to 0 but when I turn on the screen they are turn on

If I set it to 6 or 1.5 it works as it should

I think it's related to the modified liblight right ?

EDIT : I'm using wanam 9.5 (LP7) and Siyah beta 4

This was already discussed in the GB-Siyah-thread before. Nobody has found any positive reason to remove vsync, it would only improve some benchmarks, but drains battery for no real-life gain at all (unless you can differentiate between images faster than other human beings, maybe catwoman can :P ).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blizzari:
I dont speak removing it just an option to remove and enable it what would be wrong in it?

BTW catwoman is my mom

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shr33kant:
I would definately say that the "irc build" that had fixed mtp on it is the best cm9 rom. There are literally only like 3 bugs left. AFAIK FM Radio, Video recording and some weird touch issues (the last one is my personal experience, although I'm probably just missing having vitalji value set to 0 :()..

I am running Siyah b4 with Omega 5.1. BLN is working for Whatsapp but not for the Samsung Email app (the one that synchs with Exchange). This worked perfectly under GB 2.3.4 with nimph.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] confusedmuse:
Just to mention, for some reason all the games that i've tested that use the accelerometer are working.

But Screebl isn't able to determine the phones position, and also the yellow dot in GPS Status is moving around randomly.

The compass rotates either slowly or fast or is jumping around, related to the angle you hold the phone in.

(except for the compass in Z-DeviceTest... this one is just a bit slow and jittering)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rawi666:
Ok I compared results with my friend's SGS2 running stock rom with stock kernel and it looks like you're right.

Sensors don't work properly on CM9 22/04 ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] akira888:
Hi guys,

Some of my apps do not work anymore.

I think it is due to the swap of the mount point?

Any clue? thanks

i cant seem to download from your site.any other links??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sduford:
I agree, if someone wants to stay safe and conservative, stick to stock kernels. The whole point of custom kernels is to push the envelope and try to get the most out of our phones.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I have uploaded fixed rc6 (with old base, not korean)

you can use it if you are on hydrogen or any other aokp rom that uses old mounting points.

and another news about that bricking problem:

it seems that a lot of users with at&t, note and korean based i9100 devices had the same problem and people didn't know why it was happening.

there is nothing that we can do for the people that had their partition infos wiped for now. jtag recovery seems the only way.

but at least we now know what to blame and there will be a fix soon I hope, to prevent that problem to occur again.

I talked to Entropy512 and he is going to leave a post to ERD section to bring some more ERDs into this matter, especially AdamOutler and Rebellos to test the fix on unbrickable devices.

I will spend all my free time to find out the reason and the fix for this problem.

and I especially want to emphasize that it was only changing the base and I never expected such thing to happen.

there is a bug in the kernel which cause that and the same bug exists in at&t leaks and some other kernels (note and korean versions).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rawi666:
Gokh,

Assuming your current knowledge about the cause of this issue both 3.1 and today's 3.1rc6 are based on update 4 samsung sources (not any korean/at&t) and should be safe?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joed14:
its working now!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
Yes the only difference between 3.1 and rc6 is the mount points and they both are based on i9100 update4 sources.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jashy67:
Just did it , flashed the 3.1 over this famouse dangerous rc6 version by using kernel cleaining script. All is fine so far and have no problems. It works fine for me but as you know it don't mean that there is no risk.

gl
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dinco:
can front camera be fix for v3.1rc6. Always got FC even after reboot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
It's safe. These were the same sources as previous builds so are already known to be working. There's no longer any need for people to keep on asking if it's safe as the issue was identified, the old build removed and a clean build with the old working sources replaced it with even more updates. That and many people have already posted about 3.1 working perfectly and the latest rc6 is the same just with old mount points.

I think everyone on CM9 is having issue's with the mount points..

My front camera also FC after taking a picture.. and for reasons unknown widgets + program's are writing to my external sd_card.. and i double checked if i set the setting properly under starge options.. the thing they did to the mount points realy messed things up.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
hi gokhan,

so the rc6 on your site which is downloadable now is safe? i think i needed to hear that again sorry.:D and let's just say that its intended for aokp's like hydrog3n?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rawi666:
- Flashed 3.1 over CM9 22/04.

- Wiped cache.

- Wiped dalvik-cache.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Yeah the mount points were really messed up, so i flashed the current fixed rc6 and it's fine now. Thank you for the fixed version.

Btw. I'm on Hydrogen Rom
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sefrcoko:
The new siyah rc6 fixes the sdcard issue you mention by using the old mount points. If you have camera fc then dont wipe anything before you flash. Once your rom gets updated to include new mount points, then you can use siyah 3.1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
yes, you can flash it and everybody on an older version of rc6 should flash it without taking any risk.

use CWM app or odin to flash it, not recovery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
thank you for the reply sir. that's all i needed to know. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Mate, if you just read the last 10 posts you would not have to ask this question...

EDIT: but you got your answer I see :)

@All, Like ArVS said, the problem kernel is removed, all links are "good" now, so poeple should flash up to v3.1 or the cr6 kernel out now via Gokhan's site for AOPS/CM9 Roms and let Gokhan continue his work...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jashy67:
Looks like all this weird bricked phones risks are now past stories. Flashed the 3.1 over my Wanamlite 11.1 with all wipes and all works perfectly. I honestly feel sorry for all those who bricked their phones and hope they will find a sloution and have a happy ending. We all know the risk and consequencies of playing the insane serial flasher around :).

Anyway , i personaly always wait for enough feedbacks befor flashing new stuffs on my phone. I admit its sometimes hard to wait but at least i avoid myself some damn possible heart attack ;).

Thanks GK for your great job and help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Qliratu:
Sorry but i dont understand.. i have latest nightly with siyah 3.1 running now.

But the sd-card issue persist.. and FC on the front camera only happens when its trying to save the picture (my gues to a non exisiting location).

There for my conclusion is that the mount point usage of the app's is messed up (dont use java paramater to determine it?).
