logcat

Not CM-specific, happens on TW ICS firmwares too.

Flash from a non-ported Gingerbread firmware.

I'm going to coordinate with atinm on how to properly handle the fact that this device is the recipient of rampant porting.

Video encoding/decoding is still under HEAVY development.

Samsung's video libraries had all sorts of undocumented interface changes so wouldn't "plug in" to AOSP firmwares. So there's a major effort to rework things using open-source video codecs from OrigenBoard. Again - due to lack of documentation this is time consuming.

Other known issues:

GPS satellite status is not reported properly. When 8 sats are locked you'll only see 2 unlocked sats for example. A fix for this is in the review process.

Dock audio does not work. A fix for this is in the review process.

Any attempt to underclock has a high chance of causing your device to hang. Same reason I haven't released a Touchwiz kernel officially yet... This is a problem on ALL ICS kernels for I9100/I777.

I think I'm missing something. I miss my slide to unlock ring. I have Exchange Email synced to this phone, and it's requiring a PIN, but I miss the ability to launch apps directly from the lock screen. Every time I lock the phone, it takes me immediately to the PIN entry screen. I've tried the DELAY LOCK setting, but it takes me to the PIN every time. Any one else experience this or know how to fix this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PuffinNugz:
My bad. I was referring to the other facebook issue. The one where it doesn't let you sync. The only thing that works for me in the notification dropdown is click on the persons avatar to go to their page.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
If I remember correctly, he stated ROM Manager not working isn't a priority. It will be fixed when it is fixed, for the time being, we just need to check for nightlies on our own.

If I remember correctly, Google had started to remove that Ability back in 2.3 from the Nexus S. It had to do with some Spat about sharing data or something like that. Under modified roms you could sync, but under AOSP roms it didn't work. I never did it after I got rid of my N1 so I wouldn't know if it existed this way back in CM7 without being able to sync Facebook through their App.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Experienced this as well. And it's not a change in the security settings on the Exchange server. It's a change in Android behavior. I just don't know if it's ICS-related or CM-related (I haven't set up Exchange on anything but CM-based ICS ROMs). But yeah, on GB I didn't have to enter the PIN every single time I unlocked the phone. Now I do. So far I haven't figured out a way around it (other than using a 3rd party Exchange client, which I hate).

If I do, I'll be sure to let you know.

GPS Related Question/Issue (Not a bug report! :D)

I have 3/30 installed. I opened up GPS Status while I had the phone in my truck. Near the dashboard, with plenty of sight out the front window. I was getting around 12 satellites, but no locks. Is this what Entropy was referring to when he discussed some GPS issues? I did not try Maps, as I had lots to do over my lunch. But I can try that tonight. Thanks!

Next Gen CM7?

I downloaded CM9, latest build, buggy, but I liked the brief glimpse of what's under the hood; awesome balance of power and battery life! I'll wait until SiyahKernel is released for ATT i777, because for me, it's the lynch-pin for the device as a whole (I installed the Beta for ICS siyah, and lost my touch buttons, though it did work). Wasn't thrilled with the new modem, used UCKH7.

That said, I will wait for the aesthetics of CM9 to improve to CM7 standards; make no doubt, the bar was raised extremely high by the brilliant development by a few talented souls, who I thank and praise enormously! My concern is this: please please please take the best of CM7s interface and apply it to CM9 (like a crack addict, I am hooked on the lockscreen and intuitive settings menu).

When the screen auto-rotate screen lag improves, the ringed-lockscreen is back, and the settings menu items are robust and filled out, and the SiyahKernel is released, then I'll make the final push, until then, thank you team for the hard work and all. Brilliant!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yeah - some people seem to be having this issue - it was just damn near impossible to diagnose before when status reporting was busted.

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem myself (I can lock when in my apartment and in airplane mode...)

Try putting your device into airplane mode, then attempting to lock in GPS Status. There's a chance that maybe SUPL may be misbehaving for some people and hindering lock times rather than benefiting them.

Also, how long did you wait?

Wasn't getting any lock until I put the device into airplane mode. Now I can get a lock in under 15 seconds or so.

i believe the button hardware only supports on and off. a value of 1 or 255 doesnt make a difference. that being said i put the lower 3 light levels to a button brightness of 1 and it seems to switch fine. this is using the CM custom auto brightness settings.

also i cant remember if its stock or cm but there is a setting for when the backlight should be on (i.e. always, never after a per of inactivity...)

also PEOPLE WITH GPS PROBLEMS what modems are you guys running. im on the one released with official ICS and i get a lock in < 10 sec. so modem:CLC2

people who have rom manager premium how are you upgrading to 3/30...cuz i cant seem to find it anywhere from rom manager??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] remydlc:
you need to go into ROM Manager and select "Flash CW recovery" and select your device "SGH-i777" then you can select to find updates and download the ROMs. I just did that yesterday :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
Entropy,

I'll try putting phone in airplane mode. When I tried GPS test, I think i waited about a minute. When that didn't get anywhere, I realized I needed to get going, so I left GPS Status up, and started towards my destination. I'll give it a try now, since work is so dead today :-)

Edit:

I just went outside. Put the phone in Airplane Mode, and loaded up GPS Status. It saw about 9 satellites, and eventually locked on to 4(about 45 seconds later). I closed the app (home button press) then turned off Airplane Mode. I switched back into GPS Status, and I got a lock in about 5 seconds.

Baseband Version: I777UCKH7
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] remydlc:
I am on UCKH7... would it create me a problem if I flashed any of the other modems?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxy_Cat:
point your phone's browser to cyanogenmod downloads for i777, download the latest ROM, reboot recovery, find downloads on SDCARD, install, wipe, etc...

It needs to be a cm modem. Rock Ratt has a thread for them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
OK, so it seems like for some people SUPL interferes with the initial lock instead of helping it, but then helps with subsequent locks.

I think GPS status has a method for resetting all of the assistance data that might help some people. I guess the question is whether things continue to work for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
i believe a cm modem is just a change in the flashing script. otherwise i think its the same as any other modem. but i remember reading about problems with older modems on ics. im wondering if there is a correlation between modem and gps problems... ill start flashing and see if that's the case

My phone typically lasts a day and a half to two days depending on screen time (2-3 hours). Usage is mainly texting, reddit is fun o_o, and music playback for about 1hr+ a day.

On another note, is anyone else's gallery acting up? Suddenly mine just decided that my phone "0 images/videos available". I can access them through Root Explorer, which coincidentally opens them up in the gallery. I restored a backup from a few days ago where it does seem to work for maybe 15 minutes where I can see all of my stuff, then it goes to the "0 images/videos available" again after a short while. Haven't even changed much or installed any new apps on my phone in the longest time considering how stable CM9 is, so this is kinda random. Would like to know if there is a fix before I start from scratch again. Messing with storage configurations didn't help any.

EDIT: Solved. ****ty ROM Manager at it again. I knew I was prolonging it's demise in Titanium for way too long. An update yesterday or the day before created nomedia files everywhere. I think today's update was supposed to fix it, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
My gallery is flaky as well, even after updating Rom Manager. (which I never even open) At first, I thought the pics were gone, but es file sees them. Even the ones in the camera album are missing from the gallery, unless I take a new pic. Then, gallery will see only the new image, not the rest of the folder. And, if I move or delete something in that folder, even the new pic becomes invisible to gallery. (Fishbowl viewer sees only the same files as gallery, so I haven't tried other pic viewer apps)

Running 9.0.0, stock kernel with all prescribed wipes, etc.

PS. Couldn't find any nomedia files anywhere...

Volume is good also no issues with running anything loud and pretty clear. Running the Kernel it comes with also. I thought about switching it out by figure it works I will leave it alone.

Forgot to mention yet I am also running juice defender, think it helps...

So has anyone found a fix for no media on the internal SD card? Def not cool about this happening!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mikeflash:
As mentioned a few posts ago, get root explorer or just regular explorer and browse your sdcard (internal and external) and look for .nomedia files inside EVERY directory/folder. You must delete this file or else media contained within that directory won't be scanned. You might need to go into app settings, and make sure hidden files are shown.

You don't need to delete ALL .nomedia files, since sometimes it is there for a reason. Like for example, a game's directory might contain media that you don't want on your music player, so it should have a .nomedia file there.

After you delete .nomedia files, reboot your phone (to force a media scan).

Thankyou for that help, it did scan and bring back my pictures but it did not show my ringtones and music files to set for ringtones. I used to be able to see all music files when setting a ringtone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
I never found a .nomedia file or a setting to show hidden files in gallery, but Fish Bowl Photo Gallery has a media finder that worked for me. And, the pics it found now show up again in the stock gallery. Maybe I should mention that this only happened within the past couple of days, and I got on 9.0.0 the morning it came out. (not the rom, then, right?) The only thing I can think of doing was removing, backing up via computer, and reinstalling the ext SD card. The card itself seems to work, though, just like before...

Edit: just remembered that I tried cm10 preview and nandroided back around that time. That shouldn't cause problems, right? I haven't fully wiped since getting on cm9 in April, and I've flashed a bunch of nightlies, (always with cache and dalvik wipes) would that cause issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
Are the nightlies going to be rolled up into 9.0.1 or something? I thought it went stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
As I mentioned before, it was a ROM Manager update that came out around August 13-15 that caused the issues. An update that came out yesterday should have fixed the issue, but for those that didn't see a change ended up having to delete a .nomedia file on /sdcard/ or somewhere else. My friend just did that, I ended up having to delete and replace one in /sdcard/Android/data and then clearing Media Storage data.

You can then delete the .nomedia files using shell or a file manager like ES File Explorer that allows viewing hidden files.

This actually used to happen to me when I used a ringtone off my external storage (SD card folder). Since I started to use ringtones that come with the ROM (in /system), haven't had the problem since, for the past 2 months. Maybe a coincidence...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I think it may be. When I use custom ringtones, I always move them to the directory with the rest of the system ringtones. My last occurrence was while I happened to be using a stock ringtone (Solarium :)) and the time before that, I was on vibrate mode.

I'm testing a solution for anyone still having the issue. If it turns out to work consistently, I'll post it.

boot screen, rom manager

CM9, loading with rom manager. I tried wiping nothing, wiping dalvik only, and finally wiping dalvik and data. CM9 loads up but there's just the animation screen. Have to recover back to stock every time. Am I doing something wrong?

This is the first time I've tried to flash a rom, so I'm new to this, but I thought I had done my homework. Not a huge problem since I have everything backed up and can restore easily, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

It's been a while since I rooted, so I don't remember many details about it. OTA updates for the stock stopped working after rooting, which seemed odd, never bothered to figure out what went wrong there. I'm still running gingerbread, can't check the version right now since my phone is restoring.

I'm guessing that what I need to do is restore back to factory stock, OTA update to ICS, then root again, install clockwork mod recovery, install rom manager, backup, then flash CM9. I wanted to confirm that this was likely to work before I spend all that time, would be really pissed if I went to all that trouble and could have done an easier fix instead.

This is my one free night I've had in a while (due to the kid), this has been on my to do list for a few months now so I'm hoping to get this resolved ASAP.
