What i ment was can we use the power menu "reboot to recovery" as it didn't work with the touch recovery? It would only boot to recovery. Unless you re flashed cwm.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No. Everything I fixed should be in the change log, or else in the CWM thread change log.
[Galaxy S II General] JermIsBallin:
stuck on cyanogen mod 9 boot animation

has anyone answered that question?

i've tried reflashing the mod and wiping the cache and dalvik cache but im still stuck on this screen. any ideas? :(

btw ! i've used the latest versions of the flash mod and touch recovery
[Galaxy S II General] thechabs:
Download link

Download link seems broken, anyone have another?
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
Confirmed download not working.

Also do you 'have to' have latest cwm. I like the reboot to recovery feature and would like to trade that for touch functionality.

Thanks!

EDIT.... DL works with lappy, but not through chrome on phone.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Works for me from Ottawa right now
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I'm not clear..

Stuck on what screen?? What error message? What were you doing?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
They said on Twitter their site was having slow downloads today and they were working on it.
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
Flashed new rom.

I read somewhere there is a place to adjust the capacative button intensity.....

Where was that?
[Galaxy S II General] 51dueller:
I think the offical ICS update might be live for Bell. I'm on Sasktel so it says no update available. Sammobile lists the original firmware as I757MUGLCA and on August 14 Bell updated their website to list I757MUGLF3 as latest. So does someone with a Bell phone want to check? I imagine it would only be through Kies and not OTA.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I'm using another phone right now and not at home, but according to my source the test ICS ROM had this:

CSC = MOYCLE1

PHONE = MUGLE1

So MUGLF3 could be an advancement of the beta MUGLE1.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Not intensity but to turn it off/on..

Look under Display / brightness / custom dim level / edit levels etc.
[Galaxy S II General] DOOOLY:
I just check kies nothing yet, getting impatient :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] bestavrosg:
Couldnt have said it better my self! I only wish the touch to focus worked and I'd stick with CM9 because it works so well on my phone!
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
So I'm guessing the 5 users who actually download this CM9 will whittle down to 2 users? ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bestavrosg:
Quite honestly I probably will end up staying with the CM9. I can only imagine the ammount of work thats been put into it! I can only imagine that the stock release is going to be filled with fluffware and may be laggy. Only time will tell!
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
I'm here for good.... This rom kicks serious ass!
[Galaxy S II General] maydax:
I doubt I will use the official ICS from Bell when it comes out. After using CM9, I'm not fond of the carrier apps and touchwiz anymore. CM9 just seems faster and offers a lot more for power users like me.

I bought a Galaxy Note (mainly because I got it for $250) which I use for around the house as a mini tablet. First thing I did was dump the stock ICS and put CM9 on it and recently I put CM10 on it (Which seems to be working well so far, even the video recording preview works properly).

My next phone will be a more common model that's for sure. We (i757m users) were very lucky that dsixda decided to bring CM9 to it and if not we would all be waiting for Bell to release ICS. Just a shame no one else is interested in developing for the i757m.
[Galaxy S II General] pseudonim:
I am here for good as well. I have an International Galaxy SII - I have an experimental/preview version and it's plodding along nicely.

My friend just bought a Bell Samsung Galaxy II HD LTE. When I showed me and I was using Touchwiz with Android 2.3.4 it was brutal (compared to CM10 or even CM9).

I searched for an official CM release - there wasn't one. Luckily I came across your thread and detailed instructions on how to install CWM and your unofficial build of CM9. I just put it on and he/I couldn't be happier. Although the market for this phone is very narrow, we all sincerely appreciate your time and effort putting together a ROM, along with hosting the software and providing DETAILED instructions on how to install it. Much appreciated.

One thing is that GAPPS would not apply, no matter how many times I tried. I installed it after applying CM9 twice (as instructed). I also tried installing it after a reboot but that didn't work either. I just ended up installing the individual apps from the Play Store. Also, some widgets appear a bit odd on the homescreens. For example, the Calendar widget - if you re-size it to take up the entire homescreen - has a black/grey bit at the bottom. This might be a problem more with ICS and 720p support rather than the ROM/CM9. Other that that everything works great.

Thanks again!

Pseudonim
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Yeah I have had this problem with GAPPS as well, although I've experienced it even since the days of CM7 on the SGS2 I9100. I've had to install all the Google Apps manually (Maps, StreetView, YouTube, etc.) There must be some other step I am missing in the instructions.
[Galaxy S II General] pseudonim:
Let's see what others say. If everyone has experienced similar issues, perhaps the FAQ should be updated to say that the individual Google Apps should be obtained from the Play Store. Perhaps a listing of the Apps in the package should be included too. Some, like Google Play Music, were not available in Canada, so we had to use Market Enabler. Food for thought.

[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I'm currently uploading a new build for August 23rd:

- Added a fix where camera photos stored on the microSD may still appear in Gallery even if deleted

- Fixed wrong product string in USB Mass Storage mode (was being reported as SGH-I727 rather than SGH-I757M)

The upload is going very slowly, so if it stops or doesn't finish by the time I wake up, I'll have to re-upload in the morning. Give it about 45 minutes from the time of this message.
[Galaxy S II General] Mediumjones:
sgh-i757m Specs?

Does anyone have a complete spec list of the SGH-i757m? I'm finding a lot of mixed results online. Particularly with the Samsung page not even showing the connectivity specs. It's LTE, does that always mean it supports 1700/2100?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Here's a bit of a glitch. In Settings: About Phone: Status it is not showing my phone number. Although it's not a huge deal, it may be causing problems in searching for certain apps in the Play Store or installing them from the web version. For instance: Bell was offering the Make it Epic app that I wanted to try. It would not show up in a search or install from the web store.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I am running the most recent version of the ROM with no add-ons.
[Galaxy S II General] maydax:
I had that when I was using Bell but it shows my number when I use a Telus sim card.
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
You can set your phone number under phone app settings. Poke around in there and you'll find it.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Worked like a charm. Thanks.

No ICS updated yet for I757M

I think everyone got to see the photo on mobilesyrup website, about the ICS updated due for July, then postponed to Aug 2012 for SGH-I757M. Well, as at to date, nothing yet neither through OTA nor through Kies. On 29 Aug, Jelly Bean goes live in Canada. The word LATE here doesn't has enough weight.
[Galaxy S II General] madmajd:
Hey guys I just have a quick question

My friend has the Galaxy S2 HD LTE SGH-I757M from Bell, and he wants me to root it and convert it to work on the T-mobile/Mobilicity network. Would it be possible to flash one of the Skyrocket i727 modems on this phone? Because the 757 and the 727 seem to be almost identical, except for the screen. I tried to look up the specs for this phone, but I can't find ANYTHING at all.

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
You don't need to convert anything :P .. You just SIM unlock it.. The phone is compatible with the the Rogers/Telus/Bell LTE band, which is the same band that is used for 3G in Wind/Mobilicity.

Anyways let's stay on topic
[Galaxy S II General] madmajd:
thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Are you guys talking about the external SD card (the MICRO SD) or the internal storage?? /mnt/emmc is the INTERNAL storage.

i just noticed I couldn't view pictures stored on the MicroSD. But then I switched to camera, changed the storage to "SD Card", took a picture so that it saved to the Micro SD. After that all the pictures on my MicroSD showed up in the Gallery..
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
Thanks, I was talking about emmc.

But I already tried your suggestion for both and no workey.

But since flashing new rom, all is good, so we'll see how it goes.

Bell updated the page again yesterday
[Galaxy S II General] recordman:
Bell is such a tease. If no OTA ICS from them by Sept. 1st, I'll risk bricking a new phone by installing cm9 on it. GB on the phone is too sluggish.
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
question!?

Hi! I might get my self problems and need your advice.

By mistake I flash new CWM recovery by ODIN PDA, but supposed to do by BOOTLADER. Is it somehow effect?

Because now I get trouble: After I flash with ODIN - PDA new CWM recovery - then I Clean Dalvik, data, cash & upgrade new ROM and GAPP. After that I choose in CWM to reboot - and after reboot It start CWM automaticaly - loop. I cant get rom started.

I try to restore my rom - the same problem. Stuck at CWM.

Only helps If I flash again CWM in ODIN but this time with Bootloader and then after phones go to restart it's actualy start new rom.

But now I have the same problem - everytime when if I put my phone to CWM recovery mode - it wont start my rom and I'll stuck at recovery mode.

Any idea?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
What are you waiting for.... This rom kicks ass, and not sluggish at all.

CSipSimple and Dell Voice. I have CM10 on another phone (Atrix) and like it alot, and can't wait for the I757 to get it. After Bell releases ICS, fixing the remaining bugs by the developer of i757's cm9 should be alot easier. I had an online chat with a Bell CSR today, and she said the ICS rollout at the end of Aug. is firm. She told me to wait a little longer.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
What makes you say that? ;) Not necessarily, the ROM is already based off a leak from Bell's ICS ROM... so it's the best I can do. The same issue with SIP happens on the other Qualcomm-based Galaxy S2 CM9 projects.

Also note to anyone trying out cm10 you need to flash back to cm9 before doing a nandroid restore. I have jb on my old smsi9000 and its kinda laggy but it should be amazing on ours. Thanks again dsixda.
[Galaxy S II General] bestavrosg:
Anyone taken the Super Alpha Beta CM10 for a test drive? Whats working?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I did notice a random reboot, and there are no options to switch to front camera yet. Although rear cam/video work.

I haven't tried the phone functionality, since my microSIM is in my other phone, taped inside a sim card adaptor, so I'm too lazy to put it back in the S2 HD.

Anyways, hold on one sec, or 25 minutes.... I have a fix for that really crappy LCD density and the off-base lockscreen. Those two are now fixed and I am pushing the update to my dev-host.

The fixed ROM's name ends with a "b" after the date: cm-10-20120825b-UNOFFICIAL-celoxhd.zip
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
I am using it and i would say is more of a beta build then alpha. Other then the screen res it's working great all settings, no force closes as of yet just restored everything with tb. Camera, video, panorama work great. Gps seems to work, phone works data works texting works, wifi. The phone number doesn't show but i think that was happening on our last ics. But honestly other then the screen res it's really good so far it's been 20 mins.

So great job dsixda. Awesome work

Lot of people had those on the i717 recently for the ROM I use. Author updated to the newest kernel which shows lower ram usage which may have been the cause.

[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
the phone number not showing (not the biggest concern) is a bug with our phone as my old i9000 running the latest nightly cm10 displays it
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I may start a new thread for Jelly Bean if it works well enough.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
WELL... this is a nice surprise.

There actually is front camera support on this ROM, didn't notice that earlier.

AND the silly faces effects works on the front camcorder in CM10, which was only partially working in CM9 due to the preview issue.

The screen flickers quite a lot, but this is a common problem on other CM10 devices right now.. It'll probably get fixed eventually in the main CM10 code.
[Galaxy S II General] maydax:
Maybe this will help fix it

Installed CM10. Then decided to re-installed CM9 again and now the phone won't boot up. Reinstallting CM10 works fine

Just a word of caution.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
You need to do a data wipe if you jump between different operating systems.. Did you do that?
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Also (this is per the cm10 for the I9000) you will need to flash back to cm9 from cm10 before you do a nandroid restore...

but if you are hesitant on upgrading to cm10 for our device do it. its awesome. and i have had minimal issues like pretty much none that havent been fixed.

so again thanks dsixda. for great work. cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No I didn't have to do that when I restored an ics backup. The I9000 and I9100 are different because of the way the kernel is built... Their kernel includes the recovery image inside, whereas our device has them separate..

Just restore your nandroid like normal.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
If you are going go load CM10, run the Octane benchmark below before you do. I would be interested in the comparison to determine if my experience is the norm or not.

I found a temporary solution to the CPU overclock issue. It would seem that programs such as Set CPU and voltage control have the ability to override CM9's control over the CPU. I've lowered the Max CPU frequency in Set CPU to 1350 and while it still reports the max frequency in the performance menu as 1800 its never goes over 1350.

Great Work

First thing, great work on this ICS ROM, all of your very hard work is definitely not going unrecognized.

I recently got the galaxy s2 hd lte handset and was disappointed to see it is and probably will remain a 'rare' device, it will never gain the popularity of the galaxy s2 or s3 and thus will probably have much less development for it. Bell is sure taking its sweet time to release the ICS stock ROM and I would not expect to see it any time soon, knowing what type of company it is (thank god I got my phone 'unlocked'). When we finally do get the stock image things will be different but for now I want to extend my thanks to dsixda for putting in the effort.

That being said, perhaps I can share my experience with the ROM. I had a bit of trouble flashing it. The first time (after having installed the up to date recovery and having rooted phone) I did not wipe and just installed it, of course it looped and crashed. After a wipe it installed first time (June 28th version) but when I went to upgrade to June 29th version it did not go so smoothly. I followed the same procedure, wipe and install from external SD but it kept looping and crashing. Also once or twice it got to the initial setup procedure but crashed on the first or second step. I got it to work by installing June 28th version (which I could no longer reliably install either) and without wiping installed the June 29th over it (maybe it randomly worked as well, not sure if this 'procedure' did anything special). Also in the course of this, while it was looping and crashing, I removed the battery to stop this, but simply removing it and replacing it was no good, it kept looping and crashing, I needed to remove it for a longer period of time (more than a few seconds) to avoid loops.

As of now the ROM work relatively well for me, but I am having a problem web browsing. If I load up a content heavy page (not a mobile version of this page) and scroll fast, my phone will automatically freeze up. Anything extra demanding appears to freeze up the phone and I need to remove the battery for a few seconds to get it to boot again. I suspected perhaps this had to do with the processor speed (being at 1800+ MHz by default in the ROM) and the fact the app was too demanding of the processor, but I cannot for the life of me change this, when I set it to anything else it will automatically change back to the max setting. Is it possible the phone's internal SD is corrupt and need to be formatted? (can this even be done?)

Fingers crossed that Bell gets their sorry ass into gear and releases ICS soon and we can finally use our phone as intended and again thanks dsixda for your work put into this.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Try flashing from internal storage, not the microsd. For some reason I was also having problems from microsd but I attributed it to the fact it was corrupted before. No problems since.

If you are unable to access internal storage due to boot loop, use adb to copy the ROM there, e.g.:

adb push nameOfMyRom.zip /mnt/emmc/
