CM9 'Automatic Brightness' settings explained

Pls see the 2 links below in case you are interested in working the 'Automatic Brightness' settings in CM9 to your advantage for saving power, getting screen to be as bright or dull as you require and also get it to respond faster to light changes (eg. moving from indoor into bright sunlight outside).

I found these quite well written,

Thanks for your response.

It maybe that since I've installed the CM9 newly I was playing around with my phone more often...installing apps and stuff...tweaking Sound Profiles, Display Settings, exploring CPU Governor, etc...and hence the battery was getting drained faster.

Now that it has been 2 days and all my apps, contacts and settings are more or less setup...my usage of phone has come back to normal since today morning.

Today I took it off the charger around 8:15 am and it was at 95% that time.

Now at 12:55 pm it's down to 84%. I have made few calls and SMSes....so all in all I think the battery is holding up pretty well.

Hi

I'm using nightlies Aug 12 build. For some reason my gallery isn't visible anymore, but my pics are still visible when I search with Solid explorer. This problem is also in the music app Apollo it doesn't list my music anymore but its visible via solid explorer. Can anyone assist with the cause of this and a possible solution

Thank you:)

Probably you have done a dirty installation.you have to do a clean install from a safe kernel. cm9 is stable now. These problems are surely not rom specific.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] botacx:
Hi, thank you for replying..previously, I flashed a KJ1 GB rom that I downloaded from Dr.Ketan and then I flashed CM9 nightlies. KJ1 should be a safe kernal I supposed or am I missing some key point during my downgrade to GB rom..I've surely wiped data, cache and delvik as I'm from another GB rom. And, when I flashed CM9, I wiped data only. Is this correct?

My wifi is up when I changed the b/g/n mode to b/g and it is working flawlessly but then again, only whatsapp is causing me issues. Other than that, I'm happy with the current CM9.:D

Wifi drain on all (Stock & Custom) 4.0.4 based builds

On the same vein....all builds based on 4.0.4..'Stock Samsung' as well as Custom ones like 'Kingdroid' and 'CM9' have faster-than-usual battery drain when using wi-fi.

The battery is just fine when using wifi on 2.3.6 and 4.0.3 based builds...I have personally experienced this.

On all 4.0.4 based build...the battery is good whenever not using wi-fi. Start browsing or using Youtube and similar apps on wifi and the battery drains amazingly fast :(

CM9 (11-Aug-2012 nightly) otherwise has amazing battery life...except for when running apps using wifi.

Note..leaving wifi 'ON and connected' is still OK....but actively using it in apps is what kills the battery super-super-fast.

I have tried different modems also but the issue seems to be with Android 4.0.4.....

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

Battery life is generally great on CM9....

However, you can use apps like 'Juice Defender' form the market...I am using it and it makes battery...I have purchased the paid 'Ultimate' version and am satisfied with it.

It gives too many options to control how often the phone checks with new email, conatcts, sync, facebook/twitter updates, etc.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

I am using the 11-Aug-2012 Nightly and have no such issues. The 'Gallery' works fine and loads all pictures (stored on internal as well as external memmory). The 'Apollo' player also lists music fine.

The way I see it you have 2 options-

1. Re-install the 12-Aug nightly and do the Cache and Dalvik cache wipes. Remember...Data-wipe NOT needed.

2. If after step-1 the problems still persist, then perhaps you can flash another nightly..maybe the 11-Aug-2012 one which I am using and can confirm that it doesn't have the issues you mention. Remember to do the Cache and Dalvik cache wipes. Data-wipe NOT needed.

Now, if step 2 also fails, then you can try to re-install the 11-Aug-2012 nightly and in addition to Cache and Dalvik Cache wipes, you can also DO a Data-Wipe/Factory-reset from CWM recovery after the installation.

I have the same problem that CM9 stopped reading the Internal and External memory. Files are there, but just using a file Root Explorer is when I can see files, but with "File Explorer", Galley, Syten Settings (Notifications sounds) and other apps, CM9 doesn't recognize them.

I've already use the Rescan app but doesn't work.

in cm9, storage mapping is somewhat different.

look in /emmc

or /mnt/emmc

use ics binder to remap the storages.

Uninstall or update to the latest version of ROM Manager, check if any .nomedia file exists on the root of /sdcard directory and delete if it does using any file manager, reboot the phone. Your files should be visible again within the apps.

Not a firmware problem. ROM Manager had a buggy release earlier this week that put .nomedia files all over. You need to delete them and make sure RM is updated.

same contacts prob

hi,

did you find an answer to that prob? i have the same question, found a sort of ans on another site that said, if you go to the phone app it will only show contacts with phone numbers. things is it will also show email contacts with phone numbers, leading to many extra entries.... frustrating.

i have an extra problem of 'multiple entries' ...like 4 of each contact !!!

if you found an answer that fixed you prob or have advise for me please share.

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] samarium:
Don't know anything about loading vcf files. I would probably just write a script to turn them into csv file, the same format as a gmail web interface contact export csv file, and them import them thru the web interface.

As for the multiple entries, the gmail web interface has a merge contacts option, and it can usually detect likely candidates.

I agree that not being able to restrict the display to with phone numbers only is a hassle. I would also like to be able to disable the favourites, and disable the pictures, which were also lost in the upgrade from CM7 to CM9.

HDMI output via MHL is broken. It won't be fixed soon. If you require that then your only solution is to use a touchwiz ROM.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] truemutant:
Native UMTS call functionality is not implemented in AOSP at all. As a result - no 3g-calls in CM9.

In stock ROMs for N7000 (and other devices) it's done by Samsung in their (proprietary) stuff. So, you have to switch to TW-based firmware to use that. Or use non-native method like gtalk, skype, etc.

Hi !

I've asked many times in different threads, but no one could ever answer. Since the beginning of CM9 on Galaxy Note, and til the latest nightly, the notification bar is sometimes completely smooth when I drag it down, and sometimes laggy and choppier. For example, it very smooth in the settings, but choppy in the launcher. It seems to depend on the app currently in use.

With Paranoid, the is an option called "Hardware acceleration" for the status bar, but it didn't help at all.

Any ideas ? :crying:

Hey guys, so my galaxy note has been acting up lately...

Let me explain.

my screen would light up randomly sometimes to the unlock screen after I lock my phone and it stays lit til I lock it again, is this a rom issue or an app issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Barracuda77777:
you could have a faulty power button, I would back up your rom, and if you are on CM9 do a factory reset and check if problem presist, if it does then it is a hardware issue.

I'm afraid it didn't really help. In fact, now the notification bar is laggy half the time in the drawer. I can't understand where's the root of the problem... It's incredible, even my Galaxy S had a completely smooth status bar all the time.

Maybe a kernel issue ? I can't be the only one, am I ?

EDIT : Okay : the notification bar is laggy on the homescreen. But if i swipe a few times between my homescreens, it goes smooth again temporarily. As soon as I shut the screen off and then wake the phone up, the notification bar is slow again. Si I need to navigate betwen homescreens again, etc... Can this help ? =S

dotfiles are considered "hidden" files - so ES might not be showing them, not sure.

Anyone who said HDMI was fully working was lying. Right now it sort-of works for displaying hardware accelerated video (the video will show but not any overlays).

If it ever starts working it'll be in CM10. However this is highly unlikely - Samsung broke too many things in undocumented ways in the video subsystem. Using opensource stuff from insignal almost always fails.

Hello :)

I guess this isn’t specifically CM9 related, but hopefully I can get away with it as I am running CM9… haha.

Anyway, I’m just trying to understand a bit about kernels. It seems that most of the methods of rooting stock ROMs etc. involve installing the ROM, which I believe installs its own kernel, and then installing a different “rooted” kernel, which presumably overwrites the stock kernel? And then most of the guides then say to install yet another “safe” kernel? So my question is… if one is running a specific ROM (say CM9, or stock ICS), shouldn’t one use the kernel it specifically came with? Isn’t the kernel kind of matched to the ROM or something?

I keep seeing people talking about some bug or issue or other and how it might be kernel related… so it seems to me that installing stock ICS (for example) and then overwriting its kernel with a “rooted” or “safe” one would semi-defeat the purpose of trying stock ICS? (Or installing CM9 then flashing a different kernel… for example). Am I misunderstanding how kernels work here?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leafsacc:
It's been a very long time for me so I don't even know how I installed CM9 safely but basically I had a Gingerbread Rom going in. So I assumed I was on a safe kernel, a safe gingerbread kernel. Then I put on cm9.

So I guess, go to a gingerbread rom first and then put on cm9?

Don't quote me. I read a lot of threads before putting on CM9 and in the end I really just followed the OP instructions step by step (including reading the faq)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Hello? You haven't seen this? Or read any of the brick reports in Q&A forum?

Why rooted kernel? Among other things

- because you can flash other Roms

- because you can remove all the Samsung and/or carrier crapware that comes with stock Roms

- because you can do nandroid backups and restores

- because you can use Titanium Backup and other root tools to backup your apps and data

- because you can theme your Rom

Why safe kernel?

- this should be pretty obvious: so you do not become a proud owner of an expensive paperweight

Why switch kernels?

- because some are safe (see immediately above), like all CM-based ones, and NoteCore, SpeedMod and Franco of the TW variety

- because some kernels are faster and/or offer overclocking and undervolting (for gamers)

- because some of them are easier on the battery

Hi, haven't posted anything since jumping onto CM9 bandwagon a few months ago. On the whole I've been extremely happy with it and haven't felt that any of the bugs worth mentioning.

I'm currently on 9-20120806 (bit old i know) but I've been getting a few random reboots (right in the middle of doing normal stuff like writing a message or watching a vid for instance) plus the time sometimes seems to stick (switching from 24hour and back again seems to sort it out but its mildly annoying).

I understand these could be linked to so many other non cm9 variables but wanted to mention them as they're the only minor niggles on an otherwise awesome rom. I'm not expecting any resolution.

Thanks again for all your tireless work. I've learnt so much since i first came to xda with my trusty Galaxy S.
