so I have a weird one, the Gallery isn't displaying my pictures from my camera. it started out with some of them just being black and saying no thumbnail when i would select it. then i cleared data trying to see if that would refresh it and now they are all black. and when i select one it just says loading. then no thumbnail......

any thoughts on how to fix this? just did a reboot and nothing.

i think if i move the file then it might fix it but i would rather not have to do that.

any thoughts??

just moved all photos and it worked mostly but it added another camara folder or whatever it is in the gallery. so i don't get whats going on.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Were you the one who had all sorts of issues when flashing?
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
I did in the beginning until you updated the CPU and CWM to the latest.

since then it has been great until this hiccup.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
This is of course not for you guys (all 5 of us, LOL), but there have been kids/freeloaders PM'ing me and demanding I get the front camera fixed, which makes it seem like I owe something to somebody.

I just want to make it clear to those people, that if you don't like the ROM or have issues with having no front camera then you are welcome to switch back to stock 2.3.6. I am under no obligation to anyone - nobody on xda should be. This is all done in whatever free time (and late nights) I have. I have a family to feed as well. Please respect that.

Or do something about it and make your own ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I had a similar issue with some videos I took with another phone, but they were hacked funny-effect videos that codeworkx made for the original S2 with the front cam. Are these pics taken with the phone's camera?

Unrelated to current thread

I was just looking into app killing and such since I have tricked out my phone quite a bit with a bazillion apps since I got it and I noticed that I have so many apps continuously running on my phone. I set up a task killer, but all it does it kill all tasks after a delay of time (or when screen off) but they open right up the second after I open my phone again so this actually takes more battery power, constantly shutting off and turning on loads of useless apps. What the hell is wrong with Android and the inability to have access to a msconfig type of functionality? I am now using autorun manager and this is pretty cool, I can kill so much stuff at the source, my phone works already quite a bit better and takes noticeably less battery when on idle. I know this is not the right place to post this, but does someone know a good thread for this? Can someone clarify what a 'receiver' is what the 'com.' files are?
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
Ignore them Dsixda, you dont owe anything to anyone!!! if your the reading this and your demanding a fix for the camera, F**k O**!!

I owned a HTC EVO , and for the same reason alot of people lost a great Dev who was like Dsixda performing great things with Android, in the end he got sick of the requests and pressure and left!!

Like Dsixda said, this is in his own time. And please, if you can shoot a Donation his way!! To show you appreciate his time and effort!

He's brought to us what Giant corporations (Bell, Samsung) still haven't done, ICS!!

Thanks again Dsixda, and thankyou also for your Rom Kitchen, that in itself is Brilliant work.;)
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
they were all taken on the phone. (by the way the camera takes really good pictures, good work on the back cam).

im going to try flashing the 7a rom as i am still on the 07 one just to see if it clears up im not going to wipe date just cache and delvik, and see what happens.

thanks again for all your hard work, relating to the post about the people pming that is straight up rude, for any one doing that DSI has been working on this out of the goodness of his heart trying to better our device, he deserves great credit and appreciation, and a lot of thanks to his family for putting up with him working on it. so please don't pester him, as he doesn't have to do this at all but is.. so again thank you DSI for all your hard work. and looking into this Gallery issue.

[Galaxy S II General] ngautam:

and the kids PMing dsixda, screw you guys get your own rom. The man has other stuff in his life to take care of (ie family)

man i wish i knew enough to fix these damn issues :crying:

:good:

:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Ladies and gentlemen, we now have front camera working :)

I just updated to newer kernel sources for MSM8660 devices, and they support our ICS camera interfaces.

In the meantime I'm going to try to get overclocking and BLN merged into this stock kernel source.
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
Where not worthy!!
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
We have achieved God Mode for this ROM
[Galaxy S II General] ngautam:

how did you guys restore your contacts after installing this rom without kies? stupid titanium backup didnt work and i didnt backup my contacts to sim but have a backup on kies =(

some advice anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] spaztiq:
Amazing work, good sir! Countless thanks for all your hard work :thumbup:. Maybe you should get a consulting job at Bell and show them how it's done, lol. :D

Well done!

It must have been those free loaders pressuring you into getting the front camera working... not so much.
[Galaxy S II General] 4ce:
good job!!
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Long late night ahead.

I'm just testing some of the new stuff like BLN and overclocking. Hopefully I'll have something in a few hours or else sometime this weekend. I have family members staying for a few days starting Sunday, so I hope to get everything done by then.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Backlight Notificaitons (BLN) .... check.

On to overclocking/underclocking..
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
hei

Hei..good job.

By the way when i used before original Bell rom I remember they had WIFI Direct share - and I was able to send by wifi direct files from my phone to Galaxy S2 wife's. And this rom I check there is only e-mail or Bluetooth.

Can you also recommend some good file manager-I cant find stock one?

Thanks and really appreciate your work - this Rom is awesome ;)

Yes. I know. But when you enable this option,pair another phone. When u select file it doesn't give u option/selection to share by wifi direct.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:

[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
ROM will be fully uploaded in about 20 minutes from now.

I have moved this ROM to the SGS2 LTE HD / cyanogenmod9 folder.
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
Yeup, I'm going to be waiting up to DL this one!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] spaztiq:
Indeed! I'm excited! No sleep for awhile yet :D
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Ok it's finally up.

Have fun ;)
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
FYI its in the "Old" folder.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Thanks ;) Moved to cyanogenmod9. Don't know how it went to 'old'. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
I should have waited until my download was complete to say anything. Restarting. Lol
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
LOL! Forgot about that, sorry ;-) I dont think I upset too many people; there's only 5 or 6 of us who own this device ;)
[Galaxy S II General] spaztiq:
Installed and working just as awesome as before, now with the awesome front camera functionality. Thanks again! (and again, and again, and again!!!!)

Now we can be satisfied with our phones, at least until the CM-Jellybean comes out :P
[Galaxy S II General] maydax:
Awesome work on the front camera. I've been using the ROM for almost a week now without he front camera and I dreaded the idea of going back to stock GB if the front camera couldn't be fixed. Now I will be staying on this ROM for sure.

Only issue I noticed so far with the newest ROM is ES Task Manager now crashes on load but other than that it works great.
[Galaxy S II General] mic2012:
I also own this device and thank you so much for all the hard work and time you have put into this. Time to download :)
[Galaxy S II General] xephon22:
Likewise! I can't imagine all the time you spent on this! Thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
I'm not sure how cm9 calculate things but it says celoxhd. Has 903 running cm9 if you check out the starts online from about phone. Just so you know DSI. Your more popular then you think. And awesome work again. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Never knew about this stats feature! Thanks. Celox HD is the internal name for this device (you'll find it mentioned too in the stock ROM in some places - makes for a good treasure hunt!), so I decided to call it that.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Hmm.. doesn't crash for me. Try clearing just that app's data and launch again.

BTW does Skype work with front cam?
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
Very funny! Can somebody please check with stock ICS if this feature is working, or might be disabled! Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] the_leviathan:
Holy sweet Jesus.

You are in fact my personal saviour now sir, great job!
[Galaxy S II General] xephon22:
Installed it and works great so far!
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
One bug with the front camera is that in the video mode the Silly Faces option does not work. I will try to work on it.
[Galaxy S II General] maydax:
Tried clearing the cache but ti still crashes. I tried re-installing it but get a "insufficient storage available" error. Other apps seem to install fine. I'm using an alternative right now.

I've noticed that in CameraMX that if you have the preview running and put the phone to sleep using the power button it freezes on the last image the camera saw when you wake it up. That also occurred before the camera fix so it may be a ICS issue.

As for Skype the camera works fine but doesn't seem to rotate when moving the phone from portrait to landscape and vise versa during a call. Again could be an ICS issue.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Do a logcat before the next time you see these kinds of issues.
[Galaxy S II General] maydax:
Attached logcats for skype and cameramx,

EDIT: Fixed ES Task Manager. I had to delete a left over file in the /data/app directory.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Skype rotation works for me.. you have to enable rotation.. :P

No idea about cameramx.. that is an app issue, I'm not fixing that :P
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Ok, light/proximity sensors have been fixed... please wait 30 minutes from time of this upload.

The issue was described above, where a GP2A optical sensor was being used rather than TAOS.

The fixed load will be in the June 29th version currently being uploaded.
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
YES!! your a machine!!

Thankyou:D
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
Awseome work dude! I can't believe I contributed to something! lol
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I fixed it by updating the kernel and adding the stock 2.3 version(!) of the sensors library file. All other sensors remained the same. Tested with the awesome Android Sensor Box app.
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
That's the app I was using when I discovered the anomaly.

---------- Post added 30th June 2012 at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was 29th June 2012 at 11:29 PM ----------

Did something go wrong with the upload?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Sorry guys, I will need to re-upload the ROM. Looks like the build did not pick up my new files. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll hope to let you know when it's ready. Should be ready to upload in a few minutes.

@jsr84: Looks like I even forgot to make the last one public!
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
OK ROM (June 29th build) should be there in 25 minutes.

I have flashed it and confirmed it has the correct sensors. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
thanks for this amazing work dsixda.

i'm less lucky with the latest build than other testers. the device is rebooting on it's own either during the CM loading or once i'm in.

i did forget to wipe data & cache the 1st time i flash but i, wipe & reflash before going any further.

if you have any hint of what i can do...
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
That latest update fixed the black screen at the end of a call! Thanks guys
[Galaxy S II General] nphilion:
I got in the same trouble. The fix is a little scary but works.

- I took my I757M and put it under my laptop where the hot spot it.

- Played a game so it would get really hot

- When the device it toasty I push VolDown + Pwd

- Bang! Back into download mode..

(The explanation is the the device as an heat protection that will override the device into download mode, I discovered that on my GT-I9000)
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
If you're coming from a non-CM9 ROM you need to wipe everything first before you flash. You also need to flash a second time (see instructions). Then flash the gapps file.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
LOL huh? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
Is this for the constant rebooting issue?

i have no problem going in download mode or restoring my backup.

I've installed the latest build 3 times and I still have the constant rebooting.
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
Is anyone else having issues getting the "Blinking" portion of BLN working? I can get the lights only seem to come on solid even if blinking is selected. Another issue I have is if the light have turned on due to a notification when you unlock the phone the light stay off until you lock and re-unlock the phone.

Also, I'm seeing some pretty solid battery life, I've been off the charger since 9AM and I've used the phone heavily (several text, browsing, phone calls, 2 Titanium Backups, 2 Titanium Restores, 3 ROM flashes etc.) and its now 9 and I'm still at around 20%
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
If you restored a nandroid of the Bell ROM, then follow my instructions to flash CM. It's nothing to do with how I built it.
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
thanks,

i did all that. i was on the old russian rom.

i restored and flashed your sgs2hd_rooted_2.3.6_no_bell_apps.zip which worked fine. then I redid the steps. wipe and double flash. and I have the same results.

should I go back to stock recovery and stock rom then redo the steps?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No it's not that complicated!

Everything is fine for me, when I did nandroid I had to wipe and flash CM twice. After that you flash CM on top of previous CM. Unless you see your recovery log before reboot there is no way anyone knows what is going on.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
I tried that and it wouldn't go to the stock rom.. it just kept doing the samsung flash screen for a long time until i pulled the battery. i then put the cwm back on and whipped everything installed it then i wiped it again and then restarted recovery then flashed it again, hopefully this time i will be able to have it be stable. I'll update after i find out.
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
I'm in Victoria and I would offer to give you a hand, but I'm leaving for a month tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] nphilion:
My post was for ppl with brick phone. When even download mode doesn't work anymore. If any other issues just reflash stock with Odin and then start over. Sorry about the confusion.

Dsixda your a god. This device got really interesting because of you!
[Galaxy S II General] xephon22:
One problem I noticed with the camera. When in video mode, while in preview/recording mode (with the rear-camera), the image looks really blurry and is not showed in fullscreen. Though, when watching the video the quality looks normal. It seems like it stays in maximum zoom-mode when recording.
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
Think it's always done that, that's no big deal what so ever though, it still records at best quality
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Yeah that's normal in 1080p video mode, even stock does that.

Guys please do a search before posting an issue (not trying to sound rude, just suggesting)..
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Ok, regarding this bug --- the video preview itself is warped due to vertical lines, HOWEVER, it saves perfectly with the funny effects.
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
Has anyone else experienced much improved battery life with the 13 July update?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
It's an improved kernel that fixed some things under the hood, so I wouldn't be very surprised if battery life is better now.
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
Definitely seems to be better for me so far!! ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
It would seem so. I figured we would probably see an improvement with the updated Kernel source but I didn't expect this much. Wicked!
[Galaxy S II General] spaztiq:
It is so much better! So many reasons to love custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Hello from Belarus!:) Thank you dsixda for your great work!

I have just changed my stock 2.3.6 to this CyanogenMod 9, using instructions, given here. Very cool to have a working ICS on my device, also it's a pity that Bell still don't have an official ICS firmaware for this cool device.

But after upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 CM9 i have realy become frustrated with some things.. There are probably easy answers for all that, but i am new to the Android operating system and don't have much of experience...

Ok, here is the problems:

1. In 2.3.6 there was "Notes" and "My files" standart buttons in main menu. I can't find them in CM9. Also i can't find applications for stopwatch, for watching TV, maps and Google GPS navigation...

2. Russian is my native language and i am using Russian and English keyboards on my phone. The problem is - in 2.3.6 i could switch languages in one click, but here when i hold spacebar the menu pop-ups, offering Russian or English. And this is very annoying to go through this menu every time when i want to change the language. Could this menu be removed somehow without downloading a new keyboard? (I really like the native one)

3. Can't find how to set Speed Dial here. In 2.3.6 there was such thing in options on dial screen.

4. Right after Flashing CM9 i have restored all my contacts from sd-card backup. And called a few friends. After restarting the phone the first one contact, who i was calling, losed his phone number, picture and other info, so there is now only name and surname. I have made restoring from sd-card again. The phone number and picture got back. I was happy, but after i restarted the phone i have noticed that this one particular contact again don't have a phone number and the picture. So now i have 2 normal copies of every my contact (becouse i have made restoring x2 times), and 2 empty copies of this one particular contact, witch has only name and surname in both copies.

5. I can't find how to delete all my contacts at one time. There was such option on stock 2.3.6

6. There was a few sweet Live Wallpapers in stock 2.3.6 - with a sunny beach, windmills, etc., which have been changing the weather and day time according to real world! But there is no such wallpapers here. Can i get those ones in ICS somehow?

Would be very appreciate if someone would answer any of this question. Thanks. And sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
1) Go download the apps you want from the Play Store...

2) That sounds like a setting issue. Go have a look through the keyboard setting.

3) I have all my contacts synced with Google and I've yet to have a problem syncing them to my phone, try doing it that way.

4) When in the contact click the settings softkey and select the "delete" option.

5) You should be able to backup the wallpapers you want then restore them into CM9
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
col. levans

Thanks a lot for help! Also i still have a few questions on that:

1. I have just searched Play Store and there are just third-party applications (not made by Google or Samsung). How can i get back native My files, Notes, TV?

2. Did already. Even found option "Selector notification - Display input method selector notification" and switched it off. Even switched off Voice Typing. So now i have just 2 languges to choose - "English (US)" and "Russian". But it still pop-ups and not switching immediately.

3. It doesn't give me this option in "import/export". Just import from SIM, import from storage, export to storage, share visible contacts.

4. Yes, it works that way on stock 2.3.6. But now if i press "Phone" on desktop and then switching to contacts menu, the only options are: Contacts to display, New contact, Settings. If i open "People" in Apps tab of Main Menu, the only options i got - import/export, Accounts, Settings.

5. Is there any way to get them now, when i'm already on ICS CM9?

P.S. In addition, how do i edit Speed Dial numbers in this ICS CM9? There was such option on stock 2.3.6.
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
1) Those apps are part of your carriers stock ROM if you want them that bad then switch back to that ROM. Also, the "File Manager" app is weak, there are much better third party file manager apps available. If you really want CM9, but have to have the bloatware then try making a titanium backup of them in the stock ROM then restoring them in CM9.

2) I don't understand the issue with you keyboard, all I can suggest is to ensure your default keyboard it set to the Russian one.

3) Forget the SIM, backup your contacts to Google and sync that way, if works fine for me. You can search for a walkthrough on that one.

4) You need to do it in the "People" app.

The topic of this thread is regarding the porting of CM9 to the I757M, all your questions are related to the CM9 framework which is not in the scope of this thread. I would suggest trying the CyanogenMod forums for any further general questions regarding the framework. If you have any questions or have a bug to report (spacificly related to the I757M) then by all means use this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
Where is the silly faces options? I don't seem to have it
[Galaxy S II General] bnevets27:
Will the SGH-I757M get CM10?

Qutoes from CM on google+

Seeing as this is an unofficial build I wanted to know if those statements from CM are still true for the I757M. (I'm considering getting this phone but really want JB and couldn't dream of downgrading from CM9 that I'm running on my captivate)
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
What downgrade?

I think your question should also be asked to yourselves. If nobody is working on a certain version of Android, then why not think of starting your own CM builds. Nobody was working on ICS for this device so that's why I started CM9 for myself, and I had no prior experience. I cannot answer your question cos I'm at present trying to fix the remaining issue(s) and not thinking of anything else.
