[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Good question ryaneford. I can compile but that's about the extent of my skillset.

dsixda has done far more work and support that I ever could. So as long as it builds with no further coding required I can post new builds. It's all those other little changes that make a difference and become the catalyst if this project can be supported this way or not for the long haul.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
dsixda - CM10 built and updated ok from your last CM10 build per the instructions maydax pointed out.
[Galaxy S II General] ryaneford:
Most excellent.

Are you uploading your CM10 at the moment? I see a 0byte version there. Would love to see what feedback I can offer on it.

Though, your CM9 + google now seem to be doing the trick fine right now.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
The kernel repo is wrong for jelly bean. Use the Cyanogen one, not mine. Follow the steps exactly in the device repo for jelly bean.Anyways, good work.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Yeah I started over from scratch using your github jellybean instructions and used those to build it successfully. Thanks for the help dsixda.

dsixda - question. In your changelog for cm-9-20120828-UNOFFICIAL-celoxhd.zip it noted "Disabled some debugging in the kernel, should improve performance"

How do you go about changing this in CM10? Its not like I'll be able to use the debugging data so might as well turn it off.
[Galaxy S II General] graperkins:
probably need to set CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=n in the kernel config file arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_celoxhd_defconfig
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Thanks graperkins, I'll include that in the next build.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I already have that in my defconfig for CM10, although I didn't check it in yet. I'll do that sometime tonight. I added some more changes to it too.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Is it worth disabling some of the other DEBUG options?

CONFIG_STACKTRACE=n

CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=n

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n

CONFIG_MSM_RPC_SDIO_DEBUG=n

CONFIG_MSM_SMD_DEBUG=n

CONFIG_MSM_ONCRPCROUTER_DEBUG=n

CONFIG_DEBUG_GPIO=n

CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n

CONFIG_DEBUG_USER=n​

I think most of those I found in CM10, haven't double checked CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
It is not good to change them without knowing what they do.

I would check the GitHub repository for CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_msm8660-common to see what the Skyrocket and other devices did to those values.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
I suspect for most devices they are currently enabled for CM10 during the development phase. I didn't see a lot of them in CM9 now that it is stable. I guess it comes down to can someone use them (the debugging info)?

I can cross-reference the values in the config files but there isn't much verbiage about what they are for. Is there a "make menu config" like system for the cross-compiled arm kernel? I seem to remember descriptions in the menu config of kernels back in the days when I used to bother.

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

Found it - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source#Configure_the_Build

~/android/system/kernel/samsung/msm8660-common

scripts/extract-ikconfig ~/android/system/out/target/product/celoxhd/boot.img > .config

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER oldconfig

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER menuconfig​
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Yes, you are correct, there is a "make menuconfig" command which can be run in the kernel folder (kernel/device/samsung/msm8660-common). This will eventually produce a .config file in that folder, which is the defconfig.

To compile a kernel manually (separate from the ROM), you'd have to do:

make clean

make mrproper

make menuconfig (or make cyanogenmod_celoxhd_defconfig)

.. and then make (?)

I forget the actual steps, but I was doing all this back when I worked on custom recovery by itself. The final kernel (zImage) gets produced in a subfolder under the kernel folder. In addition you also need to copy the module (*.ko) files produced by the compile. (Unlike the 'brunch' command, which puts everything in the 'out' folder.)

I wouldn't get too much involved in manual kernel compiling, because a lot of config options are necessary and may otherwise result in a non-booting kernel/ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Thanks dsixda - that helps. I probably won't go to the trouble of making a custom kernel now but for the next build. You are correct, a few options are forced in menuconfig but others are optional and the comments seem to support "for dev use" etc..

Here is what I found:

# Kernel Hacking

CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=n

Say Y here if you are developing drivers or trying to debug and identify kernel problems.

CONFIG_STACKTRACE=y

Needed by EXPERIMENTAL

CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y

Needed SYSFS/MISC_FILESYSTEMS/EXPERIMENTAL

debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put debugging files into. Enable this option to be able to read and write to these files.

If unsure, say N.

CONFIG_DEBUG_USER=n

When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is	sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a production system. Most people should say N here.

CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=n

Not found under Stacktrace section of Kernel Hacking of menuconfig

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n

Not found under Stacktrace section of Kernel Hacking of menuconfig

# Device Drivers --

CONFIG_DEBUG_GPIO=n

Not found under Device Drivers -- GPIO Settings of menuconfig

# System Type --System Type

CONFIG_MSM_RPC_SDIO_DEBUG=n

Support for debugging SDIO XPRT

CONFIG_MSM_SMD_DEBUG=n

Support for debugging the ONCRPC router for communication between the ARM9 and ARM11

CONFIG_MSM_ONCRPCROUTER_DEBUG=n

Support for debugging the ONCRPC router for communication between the ARM9 and ARM11​
[Galaxy S II General] graperkins:
I compiled CM10 this morning using dxixda's instructions on github and installed it ok. Only thing I've noticed is that there's no "Data Usage" option in the settings menu. Investigation into this while I'm sitting at work seems to be that an option in the kernel defconfig file needs to be either added, or changed, but I'm not sure what option it is. Not sure if the version posted by crlogic has this issue as well as I never installed that.

Also, I'm receiving next to no video flicker with the rom I built, and still have HW overlays enabled. The frame rate of the home screen is almost on par with CM9 I'd say...there's no noticable drop in FPS during scrolling like previous versions of CM9 from dsixda.

(meant to post this in the CM10 thread...whoops)
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Thanks for picking up the cause. I really love this phone. I went back to CM9 due to lots of random reboots on CM10. I plan to go back once it's a bit more friendly.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
After testing out numerous kernel options it looks like anything other than CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=n can cause issues so I'll leave things at that.
[Galaxy S II General] TechnicallyImpaired:
I've got this weird issues with CM9 on my phone. Occasionally when I try and turn my screen on itll do the CRT animation off, so essentially the power button will turn my screen on for a second, then off. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] AllyKat:
Do they help with battery life? I went to the Stock ICS with Root that you provided and my battery life has improved drastically. In addition to the fact that now I can actually leave it overnight. It no longer sits there sapping away the battery at all times. As much as I am not a fan of the dialer/contacts system for stock Samsung... I need a functional phone.
[Galaxy S II General] AllyKat:
I have installed CM9 hopefully for the last time. From various tests, its the screen that is draining all my battery life.

Thoughts anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] TechnicallyImpaired:
I'm getting great battery life on mine. First off follow the dsixda's battery saving tips on page one. Also, although many people think it's a myth, calibrate your battery with this app "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en" especially if you've flashed a lot of times. After calibration and using his battery saving tips and common sense I get 2 days on my phone. Before I'd get a work shift in before I had to scramble for an outlet.
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
The cell radio is the major battery culprit. If I enable wifi all the time at home I can get 2 days....

But I won't cripple a smart phone to be a dumb phone for the sake of battery.
[Galaxy S II General] TechnicallyImpaired:
Am I the only one that had major deal breaking issues with this rom? The screen lock would occasionally go crazy on me and instead of the screen turning on when I pressed the power button it would turn off making it impossible to go to the lock screen. On top of that the phone would randomly freeze requiring a reboot.. I did a clean flash about 4 times before giving up and going back to stock and I hate it. Using TouchWiz is torture, I'm ready to send this phone back and get the slower, lower quality Nexus just so I can run pure ICS...
[Galaxy S II General] heinzey:
Works fine here with none of those issues
[Galaxy S II General] TechnicallyImpaired:
Are you using the Bell variant? I'm going on flash number 6 here and another night with barely any sleep.
[Galaxy S II General] heinzey:
I flashed the original "bloatware removed" roms by dexter. aka Dexrom way back when cwm was first put on this phone. Ever since then i've been on the cm9 versions put out.
[Galaxy S II General] killerfooty:
Which file is his stock ICS bell root on his dev-host site?
[Galaxy S II General] recordman:
Does NFC work on this phone for any rom or is there hardware missing?

Some search results show that NFC should be enabled for this phone, but I can't find an antenna inside.

[Galaxy S II General] mic2012:
crlogic any chance of getting a how to for the proper steps to set up and build a rom? If not I will keep plugging away with it. very interested in helping out. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
You are looking at it. Skip the proprietary files part and that is what you need. There isn't much activity in the CM9 report these days.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
@crlogic: Your dev-host link has now been added to the first post, at the Download section.

Change log

Crlogic is there any change log report - what has been done in 20120909 build?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Just the CM9 repo updates, download bbqlog for the CM9/10 changelogs
[Galaxy S II General] mic2012:
Perfect thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Marilius:
Abysmal USB speeds

Having an odd problem. When transferring data to my phone via USB, the speeds are terrible. I max out around 850kb/s writing to the external SD card, and around 1.1 MB/s when writing to the phone's internal memory. I've tried researching this problem, seems other people with regular S2's have encountered this with CM9, but I've never heard any posts about it regarding our phone. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it just me? If you had this problem and fixed it, what did you do? Any help you guys could offer I'd sincerely appreciate. I love this phone but it's maddening when I want to update music or put anything on my phone

For reference's sake, when transferring data from my phone to my PC, I get a full 15-20 MB/sec. I'm running crlogic's 20120909 build, but I've had this problem right from the start, when rooting and loading dsixda's builds.
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
I'm running the 0829 build still, and it's really stable. How is everything on the latest build?

Any issues or improvements?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
Sorry, I know this doesn't belong here, but I don't know where else to put it. But when flashing the stock ICS Rom with odin I can't get the phone to boot. It just gets stuck at the boot animation. Has anyone had this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
Is LTE works for this rom?
[Galaxy S II General] TechnicallyImpaired:
Sure does
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
Does the LTE sighn comes up ? Because I dont see it coming up, but my bell sure has LTE
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
You may need to go into System Settings > Wireless & Network> More...> Mobile Networks> Preferred Network and change the settings to include LTE as CM defaults to GSM only.
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
Already change from begin - doesnt show difference. No shoes HSPA - try to see why cant catch LTE. BELL Coverage map shows no problem.
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Mine worked in Halifax the other night. Status showed 4G.
[Galaxy S II General] Marilius:
I'm no dev, but try reflashing the ICS radios from dsixda's github. Also, I can confirm that when LTE is working on your phone, it will say 4G beside your signal strength.
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
Your screenshot is from original ICS rom, im talking about this rom CM9 - is it working and giving LTE icon?
[Galaxy S II General] Marilius:
>.> I'm running crlogic's latest build of CM9. and yes it is working and giving the LTE icon.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Very little is going into CM9 these days, Google bbqlog for the changes, there aren't many.
[Galaxy S II General] skodazek:
Hey guys, I want to flash a beats audio mod to my SGH-I757M running this rom, and just wanted to verify that it would be compatible. The author claims the following:

Does this rom meet the above requirements? (specifically the AOKP part).

Link to the mod:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1729223

[MOD]Modified DSP Manager with BEATS audio. For CM9, MIUI & AOKP.(6.25.12)
[Galaxy S II General] skodazek:
Good news, the aforementioned Beats Audio mod works like a charm!

Feel free to flash it my fellow SGH-I757M users, it definately has a positive effect on audio output from poweramp at least.

Hope this information is useful.

I've ran into a minor bug, anyone else can confirm if they have experienced it?

it occurs after a reboot. Weather (provided by yahoo! weather) on the lock screen will not update, even when manually clicking it. This appears to clear up after a bit, not sure what makes it start working eventually but it does.

I think manaul updating (clicking) is broken, and after a reboot you are forced to wait the 30 minutes (lowest auto-update interval) for it to self update before it will display weather again.

Anyone can confirm if they are experiencing the same?

[Galaxy S II General] lmarranzino:
Just acquired a i757m I had been waiting on this phone to come to ATT and of course it did NOT.... Well found it by accident and had to have it.

So I am rooted and running CM9 the latest I could find was the 9-09 build of this year ?

Runs great I have reset the apn for ATT and it works good toggles trough 3g onto LTE without a hitch so far.

I am watching the CM10 and just waiting for the little improvements so I can hop to that maybe or a daily.

My one question is the Flash Counter of course is tripped yet there is no triangle or such.... Do I need to worry about this or ? Being I have no warranty to start with..LOL Just don't wan't any issues there currently shows 16 counts.

Thanks all.

[Galaxy S II General] B.Moreira:
Have you tried flashing the official modem for ics on this phone? Check to see if your phone says unknown under baseband or I757MUGLH2.
[Galaxy S II General] iqbaljanjua:
every day i am having issue.. missing calls etc.... even some times after rebooting same problem...........

I just installed official ICS Modem

...lets see.....will update later..
[Galaxy S II General] iqbaljanjua:
Trouble still there.....now get SIM error and wants me to reboot.......thinking about to go back to stock ICS
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
I would go back to stock. If you do not have the same issues then it's the ROM (although I did not have the same experience). If you do have the same issues it could be the phone itself.

I would also use CM10 as it is much more stable than CM9 (at least for me).
[Galaxy S II General] lmarranzino:
I have pretty much found the same.... I am now back to Stock debloated and things are smooth...I will continue to watch the cm10 thread to keep updated they are doing a great job....I realize that CM9 did not get as completed on many devices due to cm10 arriving not long after. All is good I still really like this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] koodiifin:
Is there a way to enable navigation bar on this cm9?
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
I enable the navigation bar by adding the following line to build.prop

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

I used a free build.prop editor from the Play store.
[Galaxy S II General] mandroid717:
just to let everyone know i put a request in to XDA to create a i757m forum a few days back and received a response that they would put it on the request list but no guarantees. so fingers crossed. maybe if others also put in a request it may work in our favour. just saying

here is the message i wrote.

Hi

Can't promise but I'll add it to our internal requests list.

Just are a few posts scattered in the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 > Galaxy S II General section which can be very misleading. There is forum out there for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 but is has different hardware and bad things will happen if you try to flash a rom or kernel from there. NOOBs like me may not realize this and brick there phone. I think it would be beneficial in this case as there are a few people already working on the CM9 and CM10 roms plus it has been visited by thousand. Yes i agree not near as many as some devices (Galaxy S3) but as you can see there are people visiting the few posts every day.

Anyway thanks for your help

Have a great day.

Hey, I can I ask where you acquired that clock/weather widget?
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
It's the Simi Clock Widget from the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.th.android.widget.gTabsimiClock
[Galaxy S II General] skodazek:
Thanks. You got it working with cm9? Tried both the pro and free versions of Simi Clock and after install there is no trace of the app.

Nothing in widget library, no icon for it in apps, isn't even listed in installed apps from system menu. All I could do is uninstall / refund from Google play. Did you have any issues with it?

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

It's all good. Got the Pro version working. Best looking clock / weather widget for CyanogenMod / Trebuchet I've seen.

If you can recommend any other third party widgets that go well with CM and Trebuchet I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
I've been using Simi since my Froyo days. It's worked on every version since.

I don't use many widgets as I find they a bit hard on the battery. I am currently using the Astrid Talks widget, Double Twist, and Lockscreen widgets. Also the internal Calendar widget on my second homescreen.

...in order to carefully cut the NFD antenna out of the case, and impregnate it into the underside of my I757 battery case/door instead.

Have I missed something in this thread, or are we still thinking that adding an antenna to those two contacts might give us working NFC?

If there's even a remote chance, I'll give it a go.

[Galaxy S II General] CharlieMPK:
I have a BlackBerry Bold 9900 laying around somewhere (hopefully I can find the damn thing) and it has NFC as well.

If I remember correctly, the NFC antenna is just a sticker with two contacts and it's just stuck to the back cover.

I'm going to look for it today and see if the contacts line up and see if it works! Maybe you can buy the 'sticker NFC' antennas online?
