any issues with cm9 and the latest siyah?

thanks a lot in adv...

Shyam
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drakester09:
No issues that I know of. Seems to run good.

Install CM9 first, then gapps and Siyah last.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
First install cm9 as instructed and make sure everything works, make a nandroid bsckup and then install siyah kernel, but remember that dev or anyone in this forum will not help if you have any issues with non native kernel!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shyam_galaxys2:
do you think zedomax stockkernal should be enough for CM9?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nuskul:
Cm9 is a full rom with kernel included. Just follow instructions on op, stock Cm9 kernel is pretty good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
To be honest, I haven't heard about that kernel, but hope it has CWM that's a must to install CM9. PM me if you have questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
It was released a long time ago and hasn't been updated that's why you haven't heard about it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadyguy:
I've also had this issue since the 4/21... I mentioned it in a separate post, but didn't get much response. I switched to AOKP last night to see if the NFC implementation was working, but I still get the FC issues with NFC Task Launcher. The settings doesnt force close, but NFC still doesn't work.

But like you said I cant even modify my Wifi settings etc. with the FC. I tried to wipe and flash and reflash and use TiBu after fresh install and then wiped and didnt use TiBu. Same result.

Hopefully an expert can chime in, because it seems some user aren't having any issues with FC or NFC while others possibly have corrupt data that survives a full wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I had the FC issue once way back with one of the ported ICS ROMs. A full wipe, including /system, fixed it for me. Can't say for sure if formatting /system did the trick though. I hadn't tried it without first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadyguy:
Would the system folder get wiped with the wipe data/factory reset option in CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
most of the time that warning means "don't use tibu to restore system data" and since others don't seem to have issues with tibu (see below) I don't think that is the problem.

when I full wipe it works fine, when I restore user apps + data (not system) it breaks.

There are quite a few apps I'd prefer to keep my data for (save games and configs) I don't mind redoing system stuff at all, but manually reinstalling and reconfiguring all my apps is a bit harsh...

after a fresh install I CAN access the "more" menu from settings, also wifi and Bluetooth are right above it and they work fine. I also tested nfc seems to work (I can toggle it on and off and use nfc apps and they detect that I have working nfc) but I don't have any tags or another phone to be 100% positive, but no crashing

Until I restore with tibu (again I'm not restoring anything system related, just user apps and their data)

Then the "more" menu crashes

Tapping it shows me a black screen and eventually an fc dialog.

This prevents me from getting to other things like apn settings as well so its really annoying.

was that using the hacked nfc patch? I'm referring to the official cm9 implementation.

No, flash the rom and it will wipe /system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Update:

Clearing data for tags app and nfc service and then rebooting seems to fix the issue, but this needs to be done every time I flash the rom or a new nightly.

SIM card removed

DISREGARD - was due to Mass Storage being selected versus MTP. Don't know when that changed but it's a nice re-addition.

Was on build 4/27 and having no real issues, decided to do a system wipe/format and install 4/29. Now when plugging in USB I get SIM card removed error with a restart icon. Back flashed to 4/27 without system wipe/format and problem persists. Any ideas?

Pink spot

Has anybody found any solution for the pink spot issue that plagues i777's camera? I don't recall seeing this on earlier nightlies, but maybe I just missed it... This also affects my i9000M as well on the latest CM9 nightlies.

Also, here's a bug I just came across while toying with the camera settings: Pressing Reset to default reliably crashes the camera on both my i777 and i9000M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
Hell yeah GPS is awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
So I noticed on the change log for 4/29, it mentions new screen settings, has any one noticed a difference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
No pink spots here on 4/29 but i do get the persistent FC when resetting back to default on camera mode. On another note anyone here use Tango?? if so anyone having trouble with tango not seeing your phones contacts?? I have tried resets reinstalls and cache clears to no avail. any input is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nuskul:
While on the subject of the camera. Is there a setting that I'm not seeing, to mute the shutter other than using master volume.

Makes it hard take stealth pics of the ladies or the wife changing clothes!

Using root explorer, I deleted the shutter sound file from

/system/media/audio/ui
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
That option isn't in the settings for CM9 - it is under System Settings > Sounds > last checkbox for camera shutter sound in AOKP.

I'm running CM9 now since it seems to be more stable albeit with less customization.

If you really need stealth mode that badly and don't want to mute your phone sounds then I might recommend you flash AOKP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
4/29 running flawlessly!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
It has always worked for me. Since I first started using cm9. Idk when it started, but I don't have any issues with it. I just hope I don't get throttled lol. I used 3gb in just a couple hours of using netflix on a ps3. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
This may or may not be related to CM9, but I wasn't able to find any general information on this via google search.

I have off and on problems with Swype beta on CM9. Currently my prediction bar does not show up as I type, nor does swype allow me to swype off the keyboard to capitalize a letter. I don't know why it's doing this. I've tried reinstalling swype but it's still not working.

Anyone else having problems out of Swype? Any ideas how I can fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] grifforama:
Trying CM9 after a long hiatus.

Was wondering if the grouping of widgets in the add widget screen was something missing from CM9 as it is on AOKP ? Is this an add-on ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Are you saying that the widget tab is missing in teh drawer application? if so, make sure you have the widget tab checked to show in settings. My widgets are there in both CM9 and AOKP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Danation:
I think what is meant is grouping the list of widgets by app. For example, if you have an app that has various sizes of widgets or various widgets for different functions, grouping them by app helps keep down the clutter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
No swype issues here - Swype works as it should.

Uninstall Swype via TiBu and then deletethe libSwype.so from /system/lib with Root Explorer (or similar file manager). Reboot.

Reinstall from official Swype Beta.

?????

Profit.

If that doesn't work you have some data that's corrupting the file from a previous flash and should do a FULL wipe including format /system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup. That functionality has worked since the very first nightly for I777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apanihi:
Just wanted to tell everybody to make sure to enable this option if you want your ROM to feel like its on roids:

Noticed that someone posted script to add in the sysctl.conf file in the AOKP thread to disable ipv6 multicast to lessen the battery drain on dirty wifi networks. I was thinking of adding teh change but noticed that there is no sysctl.conf file here in CM9...

Was curious if I could just add the file in /system/etc via Root Explorer and set the permissions to rw-r-r?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Also, I was wondering if we should change wifi.supplicant_scan_interval to 180 in the base itself ( if it's truly a power saver) :D

Entropy,

Regarding the touch/lock screen sounds. The sounds definitely work when one installs the build fresh. Once the applications start downloading from the store, the sounds are lost somewhere along the way...

Return to Home after call ends?

Is there a setting on here I am missing that makes the phone return to the home screen after a call ends?

I looked and searched and found nothing. I recall someone else asking about it but cant find the question or the answer.

The reason for such an action would be to return to CarHome Ultra after making a bluetooth call when the phone is docked.

Most of the other roms including CM7 have this function, but damned if I can figure it out with CM9. Am I missing some hidden setting or is it not possible?

Thanks for helping. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dannyfritz:
I too am wondering about this. I'll be using Google Navigation with my car dock and receive a call. When the call ends, it goes to my call log instead of back to navigation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] grifforama:
Yes, this is what I mean.

For example, Beautiful Widgets has about 8 different widgets you can use, and rather than scrolling through 8 widgets, you'd have an entrry called Beautiful Widgets, which if you selected it, then shows the 8 widgets.

So the initial pick list only has all the apps with relevant widgets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FireRaider:
Exactly, surely there is a way around this 'feature' but I cant find it in the settings anyplace. I can see how it would be even more annoying when using the navigation features. Like I mentioned before, most roms will dump you back to the previous application after a call, so its got to be something simple that I just am overlooking?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kamots:
Are you talking about this?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
I am happy that after the call it will direct back to Tunein Radio ( resumes playing) that listen to while driving!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Nope, I don't think there's a setting for that. You may be able to just create folders for several different widgets but that might get messy too...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] grifforama:
Perfect. Thank you very much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
This was a feature in cm7 you have to go to the phone app then menu then there was a setting. But it hasent been merged to cm9 like many other settings. Anyways this might be a feature in a phone replacement app...

You could ask the app developer to implement it as an option.

This one is heavily based off Siyah with some personal touches on conservative governor, bus levels, etc. Check it out, not sure if he's gonna post it in i777 forum or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:

My RILJ wakelocks dropped when I changed from KK6 to CLD3. Have you tried a reflash of the modem from RR's thread? I had seen 2 different file sizes for the same modem floating around. I used the one from RR ICS modem thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] R2D2_SW:
I've noticed that the RILJ wakelock occurs when your phone can't register to a network. You can force the registration by going under More/Mobile Networks/Network Operators and then select the option to Automatically select the preferred network.

If the phone manages to register on a network, the wakelock will go away. However, keep in mind that although the phone may tell u it has registered, it may have in fact failed, which will keep the wakelock going. For example, I know if I reboot my phone at the office, it won't be able to register on the network and I will have this wake all day. However, when I'm home I never have this wake lock. So it depends on where you are I guess but typically, once the phone manages to register, you'll be fine until the next reboot, at which time it'll try to register again.

At least that has been my experience so try it out and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vladm7:
ok, so I've managed to fix my RILJ wake lock by formatting my internal sdcard in CWM (the one that's named /emmc). I know this may sound odd, but nothing else (factory reset, formatting /system /data) didn't help. Perhaps, it contained some broken db or file that one of the processes locked onto.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FireRaider:
I flashed AOKP and it has the return to home option I wanted. Odd that CM9 doesn't.

I just recently updated to 4/29 "been working alot" normally i can listen to head phone for my entire 10 hour shift and still have 50 percent left. But the last 2 days have been horrible. Nothings changed and i'm burning thru battery in less than 5 hours with 27 percent left. When i look at the battery usage my media player "poweramp" is only 2 percent, but .... " Mediaserver" is at 80 percent. Does anyone know what this is and why for the change all of a sudden. I run my phone with data and wifi turned off while at work to save on battery, "not the greatest reception only get edge network if i'm lucky" Any ideas?

I have not had any problems with the light sensor. Only problem I have is it not sampling enough. Maybe a bad flash, check your light settings though. Make sure you have multiple brightness profiles in your auto brightness settings. Restart? That's my best guess.

Entropy: would any on the corruption have to do with this happening to me I am quoting my thread I started, and I also posted in this thread. I had help to get my phone back but had to do a reset, full wipe. My phone runs very hot, and when using "battery spy"it say I'm at 29%/hr drain!! Is my internal SD corrupted or EXT? How can I fix it? Here was what happened if it has to do with anything:

Help... I accidentally ran my phone completely dead, upon restarting it, and plugging in charger, it turned on and then off. Now i'm getting a message that reads: ENCRYPTION UNSUCCESSFUL encryption was interruppted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. To reume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account. I do not want to lose anything on my phone most importantly my pics, music, and contacts. frankly i don't want to lose anything on my phone. I tried flashing the 4/23 over to see if that would have worked but to no help. Any ideas? PLEASE!!

Also should mention that i can access CWM. I can see all of my past nightlies, and my last back up...in CWM. Should i restore my last backup, will that fix the issue and not lose my internal things?
