I ended up downloading the most recent nightly opposed to downloading the unofficial chopstick build. Since I am currently on AOKP build 40, I was curious what advantages and differences does CM9 have over AOKP? From my understanding they are both based off the same source?

Thanks, help would be much appreciated. I am really loving AOKP at the moment, but ever since I got this phone I always hear about CM and have always been curious about it as well. Stability is the most important for me at least. As long as the build is stable then I am a happy camper. Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NUGZZ420:
There both pretty stable for me I'm a aokp man myself... cm9 is a close second . If there were more mods for our cm9 at least on screen keys I'd run it more . Daily flashes are nice . Berry clean smooth raw ics.. if u have not tried it DO IT.... to each there own u may like it more.... not as many options built-in like aokp..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Are there any issues with call audio and random reboots like there are with AOKP? The call audio issue isn't a problem for me with AOKP, the only issue that I found was random reboots (mind you it has only happened once so far) and my GPS is backwards. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I've been running the 6/20 unofficial since it came out and haven't had one reboot or screen freeze. I've downloaded another unofficial but haven't had the right time to flash it.

Now thinking today just to flash the newest nightly, and maybe stick to the nightly.

I've been following both CM9 & AOKP and been a little surprised about all the random reboots, especially with aokp. This version of CM9 has been awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Just flashed it now, will set everything up and see how it goes. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] snguyen0730:
Aokp is nice but the constant fear of bootloop is a pain, especially when I rely on my phone for work. And yes I always do clean installs. Going back to cm9. Much more stable imo

For some reason I keep getting camera fc on the latest night lies, wiped cache, fixed permissions, wiped camera data and it still happens.

Also how can we mount both emmc and external SD to be viewable in file explorers?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I just installed CM9 over AOKP right now. Not as many customizations, but all the customizations they have work, I really enjoy it so far. I hear there are no bootloops which is fantastic. Do you know if we can charge the phone while it is off? That was a problem with AOKP, it won't let you charge while off. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] snguyen0730:
Anyone else's' back light doesn't turn on every single time you turn the phone on? I'd say 50% it turn on right when the phone is on and 50% of the time it'll turn on within a min. I know its not a big deal but its bothering me.

Also, since this is my first time flashing/using CM9, could someone please explain why there is a new release (nightly) everyday? Does that mean that the release from the previous day is obsolete and you have to flash to the new one each time? I enjoy flashing and trying something new, but don't want to be doing it every day. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] snguyen0730:
No you don't have to flash it every night. Find one that works for you and stick with it until a major release comes along. Nightlies are meant for flashaholic and to test bugs.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
The latest unofficial has the BLN code re-enabled due to popular demand. It's still the old code so some may find the battery drains faster. If you don't use BLN, stick to test2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
A nightly is automatically built by the CM bot each night (mostly) which for the most part contains the most recent updates. The downside to that is that it also contains a few bugs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I noticed this as well, the backlight took about 30 secs to turn on, it wasn't instant. Also, my videos won't play back for some reason. Sigh, I really want to run vanilla android, but I need everything to function on my phone. Maybe I will wait a bit longer for some of the bugs to be worked out. So far for me, Darkside ICS Telus release is the only one that I had zero issues with. Still would prefer to run CM9 or AOKP though. Oh well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] snguyen0730:
I turned backlight off since it just waste battery anyway. Video playback works just fine for me

When you say that you flashed CM9 over aokp, does that mean that you didn't wipe? If so, I would try a full wipe when installing. If you continue to experience issues, there are two paths available to you: you can try flashing the cache wipe from tdj and you can try swapping our the kernel to eugene's custom kernel.

I'm currently running the 6/20 unofficial nightly and i haven't had any issues. No boot loops, videos play, back lights work as intended. Keep in mind when in a very bright location the back lights don't turn on by Design in CM9 even if you have them set to on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I made a nandroid of AOKP Build 40. Then I used TDJ's Super Wipe ( I am actually a little OCD so I run it twice to make sure everything is completely clean). Then I flash an ICS radio (TLLE Telus radio is my choice) then I flashed CM9, then I flash Gapps, then I rebooted. Once at the welcome screen I let it sit for 10mins and then reboot again. Then I start to reinstall all my apps and settings.

The backlight issue isn't a big one at all TBH. But the videos not able to play back is a big issue for me. I was able to get into the camera, take pics, I was even able to record video. But when I tried to watch the video straight from the camera app it wouldn't play back. I also tried though the gallery and it wouldn't play back either. Tried other videos I have saved and they won't play back either.

I have restored TDJ's Telus ICS release for now. Most stable one I have used. Will see how AOKP and CM9 come along, vanilla android is a great experience that I would love to try again when some kinks are worked out.

I also gave Eugene's T989D AOKP kernel a try yesterday and the compass was backward for me, North was South and vice versa. I hear good things about his kernels though. Also notice that by default the min is set to 192 which I would prefer not to go below 384. Some phones don't take well to 192 and I don't want to take the chance. So I just run the stock kernel that came with the ROM. Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Emmc should be listed as just that in file explorers and the external SD should be listed as just SD. If you're having an issue with the mounts, let everyone know, because a small few are having a problem with them mounting backwards. Since so few are having the issue, it's hard to track down.

Do I have to do a full data wipe every time I update to the latest nightly? Or can I just flash it, wipe cache and enjoy?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Just flash. Even wiping cache is unnecessary. People over do it with the wiping. Unless you're coming from a different Rom or there is a major framework change, wiping is not necessary. Though you should always do a nandroid, you never know with flashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoutamis:
What about if you're flashing the 6/24 nightly over the 6/14 nightly?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
I have even got to the point where I just backup my data partition (keeping the zip from previous roms to restore system/boot with). My time to flash a new release is down to a couple minutes. I only wipe if something takes a **** and I want to test a clean flash (I usually attempt to fix little issues before wiping).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Should be good to go but like I said always do a backup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
Just give it a try, make your backup, flash, and see how it works... you can always wipe if it doesn't work right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SamHuff999:
You know, I've been reading Wipe, wipe, instal, triple wipe, super wipe, wipe your butt, flash re-wipe. And I've been thinking what you said but I'm new to the t989 so I didn't want to speak up. So, thank you so much for saving me a ton of time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ShaPrince:
So, I'm having a problem sending mms messages and posting pictures to instagram. I'm using the most recent nightly. Any suggestions? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Yeah, with CM, unless its a major framework change you can just flash over. But anytime you flash anything there is always potential for corruption so always backup...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
Since we're talking about wiping or not. If I choose not to wipe, and just install over my last version of CM9; do I need to reflash my gaaps too? I'm thinking yes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
So does 6/26 nightly reboot or have screen freezes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
No

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

Reboots I've never experienced. Screen hasn't become unresponsive for me yet though some have reported so. I think it's a random phenomenon, just palm it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
Talk about speaking too soon. I made a few comments this afternoon about not having any screen freeze issues since flashing 6/20 several days ago. I wanted to call my sister before flashing 6/26, so I called her, then put the phone down for a minute. When I picked it back up so I could flash, guess what...froze on the lock screen...damn it. Palm tricked work though. It did freeze right after a phone call, In reading a few of the comments, it sounds like that could be a trigger for the screen locking up?

We'll see how 6/26 goes....I'm going dirty.

Not yet man ::sigh::
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
First time ever flashing without wiping; I flashed 6/26 unofficial over 6/20, and so far so good. I did wipe cache/dalvik cache with TDJ's cache wipe script after flashing CM9, but that leaves everything intact. Man...I can get used to that.

Everything is working as expected, but so was 6/20. I think it's getting pretty close to a RC.

Playing with it the last hour; camera/gallery all working. Wallpapers, ringtone's, music...everything on the SD cards all working. Calls still sound great. Finally that bug is gone.

I'll be able to check Bluetooth and GPS in about an hour when I head home, but sure there fine as they were before.

The only issue I had before when using my OEM car dock was not being able to use the AUX out on the dock to listen to music or podcasts. It route's the sound to the speakerphone and not the car speakers. But I still have access to the headset jack on the phone when using the dock so I can attach from there.

Another thing I noticed on 6/20 when listening to music/podcasts, when I receive a notification it pauses my playback and I need to hit play on the lock-screen to start playback again.

I'll see how it goes over the next day or so before I flash the next nightly but 6/26 seems like another winner. CM9 is looking & working so good right now, and it'll only gets better from here.

Anyone having issues with GPS lock? Nothing I do can get a true lock on my GPS. All I get is the circle around my position on maps which is really close to my position but I think that's just the network triangulation. But the notification icon shows a circle but doesn't have the filled in circle when it's supposed to lock on... It just shows searching GPS. I also turned on "use internal GPS" in settings. I tried "GPS Status & Toolbox" from the Play store but still nothing. Any advice? I'm on 6/26 nightly and LE1 modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
+1

I was getting almost instant locks on my exact location on stock ICS, but on nightly24 it is general vicinity, shows me as a couple houses away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
My camera is fine. It takes great pictures. I've only taken about a dozen since the flash, but very happy with it. I haven't used the camcorder yet so I can't comment on that. I don't use it a lot but i'll try it out. I've heard they look cropped when recording, but play back fine. But i'll let you know.

Im very pleased that even after a reboot now, I don't lose my Bluetooth settings. That happened on all previous ICS builds I've used. And with 6/26 my play back resumes after receiving notifications. Before I would always need to hit play after I received any.

The only negative I have right now, and I'm not sure if its because of my dirty flash, is my data speeds suck. In Park City where I work I've always received 12+ downloads. After my flash I checked and it was at 3 down. At home I've always got around 10 down and its the same, right around 3. I did use the cache wipe script, but could that be the cause of the bad download speeds. Wifi download speeds at home were always at 17 or better and there at 3 too. I using the same radio as before, the LE1. So its either the no-wipe flash or the 6/26 version. What do you guys think?

EDIT: I just did another reboot and that seems to have fixed my data speeds. On wifi I just got 18 down, and on the network I got 10 down. I always reboot after my flash reboot, and this time I didn't. Looks like it made a difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JofaceM:
Been having the same issue and I'm currently on build 6/26. After scouring some CM forums and such, consensus seems to be that CM and AOKP have switched to linaro and the problem lies there. I honestly have no clue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Not sure on the GV issue, mine works without a hitch. But neither uses the linaro toolchain. CM chose not to use because it breaks things and Whitehawk switched back for the latest build of AOKP because Pandora wasn't working along with other issues.

Alright people, i have a question!

SGH-T989 I'm running 6/24 nighlies with the UVLE1 radio. I know this phone is NFC ready from the box, and i've noticed that if i get my phone close to my wallet, the phone makes a noise. And i can replicate this time after time again. I'm just wondering if my info is being stored in the phone somewhere or if its purchasing anything anywhere?

My debit card has "pay pass" capabilities, and it only happens when i get my phone close to that card.

Any ideas? thought? reasons why this is happening?

I was using test 3 yesterday and was excited to find that when listening to a podcast and a notification came, it would resume my playback automatically. I flashed the newest official nightly today, and when I received a notification, playback didn't resume until I hit play again. Makes me think he added something in the unofficial version that hasn't made it into the nightly yet? It seems that test 3 is the only one that has resumed my playback. Anybody else?
