So what's really needing to be wiped? Data or System? Or Both if needed, then restore from TiBu

Someone may have already brought this up and I missed it but has anyone notice that the drop down notification menu is able to be accessed by swiping downward on any part of the screen? This causes a problem with widgets (eg. calendar, Google voice, etc) that are scrollable. When I try to scroll down to view upcoming calendar events or scroll voicemails I get my notification tray.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Not seeing this. Just flashed latest nightly to catch up with you guys but not seeing this behavior. Even added a couple scrollable Widgets to see if I got the same result- no happening here :-\
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rqthrottle:
I can't replicate it. I tried with the apps you mentioned and it worked fine...

When I pulled up ES File Explorer and it had switched the internal and microSD for the default file browsing folder, I couldn't help but cry. It was just so unexpected... but seriously thanks for the background info. ; )

Thanks for the quick reply. I never knew that Samsung had got the mounting points wrong. Samsung phones are the only Android phones I have owned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
OK so if you had flashed the previous leaked NFC, just deleting system won't resolve it, you need a full wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
So what does this mean for Camera storage of pictures/video? I was in the camera app and couldn't find where to tell it to store photos/videos. I must be missing something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MacAlert:
Depends on what you set in the storage settings (not in the camera, system settings).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
I'm thinking (since Entropy says "may" have hosed...) I can test this. I know I installed that nfc hack while on 4-13. This got me the menu options and the ability to download nfc apps. Since flashing 4-17, menu options are gone and Tags app icon says app not installed. I could try to get an nfc app from the store now, and flash 4-19 to see if anything changes. The only hitch is that I can't actually test nfc functionality yet. (tags are in the mail)

Should I wait for tags and test what I can? Of course, I did a nandroid right before I flashed that nfc thing, so I could just restore from that, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
Can you confirm that a full wipe will resolve this? I'll do it as a last resort but it'll take some time. If I full wipe, and then install the newest nightly, NFC will be there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patsmike:
Entropy, thank you thank thank you! Crossing my fingers and hoping this will fix my setCPU profile SODs!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] R2D2_SW:
It works. What I did is I went back to a previous backup (before I applied the NFC patch), and then flashed 04/19 on top of it. NFC is now available in my settings. Only if you don't have such backup will you have to do a full wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
Well... crap. haha.

I think I have a backup from before the nfc patch, I'm just not too sure. I changed a lot of stuff since then anyway. I have to weigh my options on backup vs full wipe. If I wipe I just know it's going to be a pain. Restoring sms and apps takes forever, then I have to redo my widgets and my email accounts.

Is there anything I can track down and delete to allow NFC with a 4/19 reinstall instead of having to wipe everything? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
Yes, because I did it and I now have NFC again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
I'm trying my hardest to avoid a full wipe lol. Could I possibly extract the NFC parts from 4/19 and make a "new" enabler zip that would work? Or just manually copy/paste the files and reboot? What would I look for if this was an option?

I just don't really have the time to do a full wipe. I'm always on the go and I cant dedicate hours of not having my phone work. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
No idea on that front, but I tried wiping the system and it didn't work. Something is left over in the Data partition, and I have no idea what it would be. Can't help you much there, it's not that bad to wipe it, do a Nandroid, then use appextractor to recover. Took me under 2 hours to restore everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] morphguy12:
yup, I was looking for the same thing... especially when watching movies on the phone :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
:eek: I've actually never heard of appextractor!? I will look into this. Thank you.

When I full wipe I use a combination of TiBu, SMS Backup/Restore, and backup for my launcher settings, in which I still have to redo my widgets and setup my sync accounts and email again. It's a long process. What you're mentioning seems a lot easier and pretty automated :D. I'm excited now haha. Thank You. I'll look into it when I get out of work. (Yes, I'm on XDA at work, oh well... It's an addiction. :rolleyes: )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
I can't recall seeing this mentioned yet but.. Has anyone noticed, if the lock screen is on, you can still pull down the notification bar and click on say an email or Facebook notification and it will go right to the app like the phone was unlocked??

Is it supposed to be like this or??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
That's normal unless you have a secure lockscreen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No, you have **** in /data somewhere that's causing the problem.

You MIGHT be OK if you flash back to an older nightly, boot it WITHOUT any NFC stuff, then flash back.

If that doesn't work you need to wipe data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Flashing the nightly wipes /system - so data and cache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
yeah that didn't do anything, Full Wipe, Here I come!! :D

settings -> advanced -> sensors -> bottom option turns keys on or off, theres no timer or anything yet but you can at least force them one way or the other
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monsieurtalbot:
Is there any way to fix where app think the mount point is? I'm trying to NOT cry about this latest Nightly...

Perhaps wiping application data? Starting over without a full wipe?

any insight would be great, I don't want to have to start fresh...

OMG wtf. My WIFI IS ALSO NOT WORKING IN TODAY'S BUILD FOR ME! I'M LOOSING IT HERE!

EDIT

OK- in case any one else runs into this problem... It took 2 wipes for my Wifi to start working - Bad flash? I dunno.

regardless, I had to fully wipe data, both my SD cards, and generally EVERYTHING in my phone to get things right after the latest nightly. The whole swapping of mount points and kernel updates are what caused this for me.

Tried Flashing Siyah, but we might be in need of an update for it... :-( - CONFIRMED - Siyah v3 RC2 kernel is the culprit for the WIFI not working in the latest nightly... - WHICH REALLY SUCKS - Was making my batter last 3Xs longer. I just flashed it over again and my wifi stopped working again. - JUST A HEADS UP!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
Just flashed the 4-19-2012 nightly before lunch. Came back from lunch (was using phone for music over lunch) and the screen wouldn't unlock and the back was very hot. I hard-rebooted the phone (vol up + pwr) and the battery is now at 13%. Anyone else have an issue like this on this nightly?

I had a hard time getting the lock. It probably took a good 2-5 mins. I ended up just putting the phone down and came later to find that it had finally locked. But other than waiting, didn't do anything special.

So we can use ROM Manager to download the files, but do a manual reboot into CWM to flash it? Or can we now tell Rom Manager to do everything?

The kind folks in Task's thread pointed me towards enabling the internal GPS in the settings. That does finally let my GPS work, but it still takes much longer than in GB to acquire a lock.

Hey Atinm - First, thank you for your work on CM9 for the I777. I'm going to ask a noob question, because it's been beaten into my head in almost every thread that I have read here at XDA that ROM Manager is the devil, to never ever use it, underlined, bolded, etc. I'm assuming that warning is just for touchwiz based ROMs.

Is ROM Manager suggested for CM9? I mean, I know it comes with it, heck it comes with MIUI, I just always assumed it was something that the developers used and that normal users should stay the F out of. I appreciate your, or anyone elses reply on this. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
The link is bad because the URL has an extra "/cm" in it. Take that out and refresh.. you'll find the dl link! :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brutusbucknuts:
New nightly (0328) is definitely smoother, especially for swiping or scrolling long lists.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
From my understanding and through trial and error is that rom manager is great for downloading and flashing nightlies from the buildbot and flashing gapps. But that is it. If you boot into recovery from that app it doesn't work well with our phone and will soft brick the device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
ROM Manager is very much meant for users. The problems happen when "unauthorized" porting happens and ROM Manager cannot tell which device you're really asking for. But once everything is working, ROMManager is a very convenient way to get notified of a new nightly and having it updated from inside ROMManager. CyanogenMod is meant to work seamlessly with ROMManager and when it doesn't it is because the developer for the device hasn't done the work to integrate it. I'm working on cleaning it up for i777 and once that is done, the whole "never use ROM Manager" can die. This includes things like booting into recovery -- until ROM Manager officially supports the phone, reboot into recovery is hit/miss. It does support i777 now, so that should work correctly. And the links are getting fixed as well -- we're waiting for the web caches to update and you'll then be able to get nightlies correctly as well.

Remember, ROM Manager is written by koush - one of the central developers for CyanogenMod. Without his help in the early merging, Samsung phones wouldn't have CyanogenMod. If nothing else, support koush by buying a premium license someday if you think CyanogenMod is useful to you!

I'm building another nightly so you'll be seeing a March 29th one soon (mostly to clean up ROM Manager cache!).

I am getting some kind of fedora error message when i try to download nightlie from 3-28 is it something wrong on my end,.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
rilj wake lock is still a major issue on 0328 for me. Its significantly affecting battery life.

I did some light searching and I see ril is radio interface library (I think) so I'm assuming it has something to do with the difference between the way i9100 and i777 handle connections. Oddly (as I mentioned before) this didn't seem to be an issue on the builds by task (with kernel by fenny) not sure if it was a kernel or rom issue though :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberpunkDad:
I really appreciate the replies! Clears up a lot of confusion I had about ROM Managers, now if I could just understand other mysteries like say, my wife.. :D I'd be golden.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] R2D2_SW:
The sudden battery drop is a known issue. As for the phone heating up after the latest nightly, this could be due to the media scanner doing overtime due to the sdcard/emmc swap if you had a tons of files. This should only last the time the files are moved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
That makes sense. My Music apps were having issues playing playlists. I flashed around 9am CST and at noon I went to lunch and assumed the media scanner would be done. I'll keep an eye on it.

Seeing no interest in my proposed tests, I've restored my pre-nfc-hack nandroid. That was 4-13 build, so i flashed 4-19 on top, (and cleared cache and dalvik) and all seems ok. Should be good, no?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcsinny99:
I would imagine it'll be in the next one - we have spoken about it enough - the devs probably get the point. lol

-I blame the build bot getting wasted on the job again. It really should have been in this one. hah

Plus, I use my FLIP mino for video anyway. - Mainly seeing as the camera in general is a HUGE battery drainer. IMO

As to MHL, with the rework to open source hardware accel libraries, MHL semi-works. (You see a single snapshot of whatever is displaying when you plug in, with one exception, see below.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monsieurtalbot:
So really, a full wipe is needed from 4/17 to 4/19... The swapping of the mount points for internal and external storage did a number on my app data... had to start from scratch...

The Compass is erratic on 4/19... Hopefully this gets fixed within the next day or so (and I imagine it will)... I need to drive across a few states tomorrow, and I really don't want to get lost. haha

NFC works fine, though obviously the implementation broke other parts of the ROM. Pity.

Also, Siyah does NOT work until the full 3.1 final is released... But either way, if you want NFC, you're going to be forced to full wipe because of the Mount swap.

Cool good to know. I am very very picky about the capacitive lights, and I know for a fact that I didn't have this on the earlier versions of this ROM, and definitely not on stock firmware. Reinstalled WidgetLocker the other day and started noticing the flicker, then it was still there when I deactivated it so got a little worried.

Hope the flicker and the low button brightness will be fixed sometime. I realize it's probably super low priority.
