yo how did you guys flash from alpha 5 to the unofficial 6/20? just want to make sur eim doing it right, did you just flash over? 1. format/system 2. flash cm9 unofficial 620 and gapps and then 3. darkside wipe cache? Just wondering
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
Wipe cache wipe dalvik so pretty much a darkside cache wipe then flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] piecemakr9:
ill try that when using the standard upgrade instructions i get some sort of force close issues, just flash teh rom or gapps too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
You shouldn't have to flash gapps if your just wiping caches. If you keep getting alot of bugs,Back up you rom ,super wipe and whatever ritual you may do for a clean install then flash the nightly then Advance restore your data "Data only nothing else" then dark side cache wipe and your good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] js042507:
Just flash right over it and then wipe dalvik/dark side cache. Reboot. That worked like a charm for me. Don't flash gapps if you already have.

Guys you're over thinking this. I've flashed cm on other phones and used the same steps I did with this flash.

Dark side wipe x2

Flash rom

Simple.

If you wish..

Wipe factory and data x2

Wipe cache x2

Go to storage and mounts

Format data x2

Format cache x2

Go to advanced

Wipe dalvik x2

Flash rom.

Absolutely no issues except a very slight echo here.

Hey i found a issue page for this i believe http://code.google.com/p/hercskycm/issues/list
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Also you DONT need to flash cache wipe and fix permissions at all. These aosp roms function much better than tw roms and have no issues if you wipe correctly. Trust me. I've been an avid fan of cyanogen mod and this is the first phone I've owned that wasnt officially supported. Until now that is :D

Hey nugz, how do you like it so far? Can you post pics please? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
That is completely dependent on what recovery you are using and has nothing to do with what ROM you are flashing, AOSP or touchwiz. If you have non touch cwm, you have to flash cache wipe. If you have touch cwm or any twrp, you don't.

This was the reason in the very beginning that non of the ics roms could not boot on our phones and no one could figure out why. Then it started working on touch cwm versions and eventually it was pinpointed to the cache partition not wiping itself correctly on non touch which is the reason tdj released the cache wipe in the first place.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Yoft. I'm used to using non touch. Would it be fine with

Superwipe

Radio

Rom

Darkside cache wipe

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Cache wipe is only used to fix issues AFTER a rom is flashed and boots up .I always use those steps except for the last. Darkside Superwipe wipes everything, including cache. Running cache wipe before the first boot has only given me problems.

Can anyone pull the email.apk file and patch it to not require exchange password for the lock screen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
I would agree with loopDogg except for the part about cache wipe causing problems. I have always cache wiped before boot after ROM to no adverse effect. However, if you have no issues without cache wiping, then you need not worry since as he states, the superwipe hits both cache and dalvik. But if you find yourself on non touch cwm and needing to wipe caches without full wiping, use the cache wipe

Another build just uploaded labeled as experimental alpha5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
But I'm running absolutely fine with no issues and didn't flash a cache wipe. Matter of fact out of all 6 android phones I've owned, this is the first phone I've ever used any wipe scripts with. As I said in only found the need to flash cache wipe on tw roms because apps would actually act up. All 6 phones I've owned supported cm and I've always wiped manually and never wiped cache. Do whatever works for you but honestly I think its pure BS. No offense. If what you say is true I would know better. But as I said. Never had an issue whatsoever.

Unofficial usually has latest additions that TC hasn't merged yet into CM source. For instance the audio fix took a while due to other devices needed to be tested... Though I am not aware of anything new in unofficial this last release...

On BBQLog, this is what it says is going to be included in the next nightly: Merge "cm: Bump version to 9.0.0-RC1" into ics. Does this mean we're going to have our first RC, or am I reading it wrong?

I was just getting ready to flash the 6/24 nightly, but noticed the 'Unofficial 6/24 test 2'. Which one are you all flashing? I'm leaning towards the 'Unofficial', but maybe it doesn't make much difference anyway. I've had great luck with the unofficial's, but maybe it's time to move on to the nightly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Saxysaxplayer:
I did that, still got the blank screen.

1. Odin Stock ICS

2. Odin Recovery

6. Darkside Cache Wipe

7. Flash Gapps

8. Darkside Super Wipe (AGAIN)

When I power on phone, nothing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokeey69:
don't darkside superwipe after the ROM, only cache wipe after ROM install. You are deleting the ROM with the superwipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Why would you wipe after flashing the nightly? You erased (wiped) what you just flashed.

Also, people are overzealous with the wiping, completely unnecessary...

This is all you need to do:

1. Superwipe

2. Flash Nightly

3. Flash Gapps

4. Done

I suggest letting it boot, waiting 10mins and then rebooting.

The BBQ log doesn't always do a good job of excluding patches not intended for Hercules. Our phones were not close to RC as per Mikey a few days ago.

The unofficial releases contain the latest code that hasn't been merged into official CM branch, so they can be even buggier than the nightlies at times. The unofficial releases are in essence test releases. For instance, the latest unofficial have OC code that hasn't been merged into CM yet.

Cool. Thanks for the fix, though having this bug still sucks. Trying to answer a call in time is difficult, sometimes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sigloiv:
I don't think it's so much as "how Samsung did it" as how Android did it as Android progressed. Originally, the bulk user storage space was SD card only on phones like the Dream and Magic, so /sdcard got that designation that carried over until that bulk storage space got moved into internal solid state memory.

/mnt/emmc makes sense because it's where the not-always-present "external multimedia card" is mounted.

As it is right now, it's a bug with our CM9 build that hopefully gets updated in the future, as it screws up consistency with certain apps and recoveries that comply with the Android standard. For instance, right now, when I try to flash an updated nightly through GooManager and TWRP, it looks at emmc for the zip because that's where GooManager says it is, but because TWRP mounts properly, it's looking at an empty SD card instead of my internal storage.

I love CM9 and AOKP. But whenever I use any of the builds. (Currently on 6/24). I get touch screen lockups.

Usually after I lock my phone and then to go unlock it. When it does I have to hold down power and reset.

Sometimes it only happens once, but today for instance happened about 5 times.

Also, which release seems to be the most stable at the moment? Thanks, I am currently running AOKP Build 40, really love the ROM so far, had one random reboot and you can't charge the phone when you shut it off. Other than that it seems pretty good so far (knock on wood). Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sigloiv:
:P That's funny, because I've been flashing for 3 years without apps (since way back on my HTC Magic). I recently went to install CM9 over AOKP on my dad's Touchpad, and I discovered GooManager. Waaaay easier, and I don't really see a reason for not using when it works so well with TWRP.

I never really liked ROM Manager (especially having to pay for access to nightlies), but don't knock the Goo-TWRP combo until you've tried it. I mean, I literally get a notification alert when a new nightly comes out, click two buttons, and I have a new ROM flashed (albeit, I haven't done a full wipe for the last 7 nightlies or so, but it hasn't given me any problems as far as I can tell).
