seems like wiping data+cache and installing back the 0713 release is not really sending me back to to the 0713 release behaviors. i.e.: the front camera is enabled and working. and I still have the glisten issue.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I have the issue too when testing Listen, but these streams are mega old! 2009? 2010??
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I have no problem with streams that are a month old..

Your problem is probably because those streams were so old they were removed...
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
i was testing with episode #469 from "this american life". aired on july 13th 2012.

f
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Just tried that episode. Works for me ;)

Using latest ROM
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
i've restored an old GB backup from july 5th. Then wiped data and cache. then flashed the 0713 release and I see it's the 0713 version in the "About" section. but my front camera is working. (indicating i'm not truly back to a 0713 state)

is there a proper way to return to previous state?

i'm ok with loosing all data and apps.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Change Log says 0713 build had the new kernel and working front camera
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
is it working without a sdcard?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Oh I see what you mean. I have an sdcard and it's saving to there. I didnt test without one right now
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
then i'm just a very confused noob... sorry about that. i was using 0707a...now i remember...
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
I've had this issue before in other ROMs. Boot to recovery, and fix permissions.
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
thanks for your reply. I did boot to recovery and fix permissions but it did not fix my issue.

Listen is creating a folder in /emmc/com.google.android.app.listen where it his saving the podcast data but then it tries to read it from /sdcard/com.google.android.app.listen
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
It's an option in the recovery menu.
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
thanks, found it under advanced.
[Galaxy S II General] shivsey:
MTP

So I've been having issues with the MTP communications with the last couple builds, not sure exactly when it started (possibly 0707a, but not sure). Im unable to mount the device in either Windows 7 (I've tried deleting and reinstalling drivers) or Ubuntu (12.04 mtp-detect detects the device but then hangs when trying to communicate with it). Its possible that somehow my drivers got screwed but its weird that its happened in both OS's. I've tried 3 different USB cables. Just wondering if you're still able to mount/read/write to the device through USB.

Cheers and thanks for build again, its a shame you're getting asked so many questions that are not related to your build, but cyanogenmod specific (I can see your getting pretty angry, maybe just don't respond to them...). Oh and I was able to easily build the CWM image flawlessly thanks to your new steps on git, havent had time to look through/modify the code, but its definitely a lot easier to compile with then the last repo.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Haha, me mad? ;) I try to help everyone as much as I can, although I don't want to become tech support and waste my day debugging other people's problems, like why the SHV-120L doesn't work with this ROM, etc. (learned my lesson from the kitchen, hence part of the reason I closed it) ;)

Haven't had any MTP or USB mass storage issues either in CM9, maybe check your cable. You need to install Kies to get the drivers in Windows, that is all. I had more problems with my old S2 I9100, although a reboot of the device usually fixed it.

Nice to know you were able to follow my instructions and get a build going. More help is always welcome.
[Galaxy S II General] shivsey:
Don't know what was wrong with the configuration but after backing up with Titanium then factory reseting fixed the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] tschab3r:
anyone sure why my CWM keeps freezing with i get to the menu ? is this a common glitch ?
[Galaxy S II General] B.Moreira:
Are you using the latest version?
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Ensure that you're using the version with the b on the end.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I have no idea, I can't reproduce the issue although I didn't use that low a dim level.

Shouldn't matter what version you use, I have never had it freeze. Are you using the Bell Canada Galaxy S2 HD LTE??
[Galaxy S II General] goldy_rocky:
Gs2 hd lte

Hi DsiXDA,

I am having GS2 HD LTE from Korea. I know & read in your instructions that you have specifically designed this ROM for Bell Canada but don't you think that it can work on Korean version.

Please update if anyone is using this device with Korean version with this ROM.

I would love to update mine as ICS 4.0.3 on my device is not giving exact performance & also there is no Caller ID for the incoming SMS.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II General] tschab3r:
Yes i am SGH-i757m is my model number. Itll take me a few tries to get into recovery then ill start to go down with my volume keys and it will freeze. And when i finally get to installing it seems like it freezes then too as it takes so long to install
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I have no idea, just flash it again... maybe corrupted.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
This person is working on it, so contact him directly: https://github.com/skysbird

I'm not going to discuss the 120L in my thread.
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
tried again with same constant rebooting issue.

i'll try to find out how to get the recovery log.

thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
haha funny im leaving for 2 weeks on sunday. Im hoping i can get this all figured out it is bothering me.
[Galaxy S II General] loci:
Thanks dsixda!

Running the build with great results so far. Can't wait for the camera to be fixed.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Haha, looks the fix for the capacitive button lights broke BLN. Arghh.. this is annoying. Maybe I'll disable BLN and hacky things like that.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Thanks, but I'm stuck as much as anyone else. If the ICS update comes out then it'll probably be fixed. But I'm also stuck with videos not playing, and I have absolutely no clue on how to fix THAT. Need help

Anyways I'll be away for the long weekend, so no work on this ROM during that time.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Well I had to go back to GB..... i went back to stock and reflashed everything and it still isn't stable. starts up then crashes, installing apps and it crashes.. etc. etc..... any ideas why,, and I tried to figure out the logcat thing and im not even sure how to do that. I Miss ICS and want it badly. any ideas????
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
sounds like you may have a corrupt sd card. try formatting your micro sd card. also go through your internal sd card and remove anything you dont need and try again

Also if you used odin to get back to stock, try re-flashing dsixdas latest CWM, then boot into it and do a full wipe. (data,Cache,dalvik cache) see it it helps
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
After flashing:

Recovery menu....

Advanced-> Show log.. Before you reboot.

Looks like you have a corrupt SD card like I had (random flashing errors). Although it was corrupt before I had the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Haha I have no idea what these folks are saying but they seem pretty excited:

[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Ok so i just formatted the internal sdcard reloaded everything on wiped everything...

and hopefully this time it will work..

the thing i have noticed is that it is saying that the internal sdcard is /emmc/ is that normal?

the log just showed that it was complete no errors.

the log shows

[Galaxy S II General] yadieros:
Greetings from China

Hi，we are glad to see the CM9 you ported，so great！

In China we use the E120L that similar to I757，both use 8x60 cpu。

the guy “G” make the CM9 you ported for i757m work on E120L，it starts well，but phone and camera not work。

We hope to get your help, thank you again.:o
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Hi!

You will need to get the kernel configuration from /proc/config from your phone when you run the stock ICS E120 firmware. From that, you can build the kernel with correct front camera and phone/provider configuration. Then you need to rebuild the CM9 source.

Bell's GS2 HD uses the SR200PC20 front camera instead of S5K5BAFX like yours and all other GS2s. You can see that in the kernel configuration. Rear cameras are the same though.

By the way, if the light sensor and proximity sensor doesn't work then use sensors.default.so from your stock ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Maybe this?

[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
All that is normal. I get the same sometimes. Internal SD is emmc.
[Galaxy S II General] loci:
A few things I noticed after using the June 29th build:

- device gets very hot after using it for about 20-30 minutes

- battery drains very fast even if not using the device

- no copy / paste in messages

- camera crashes on launch

Also I let the battery drain completely and then I was unable to charge the device or get it to boot again. I could not get into recovery either. I tried a few times, pulled the battery many times and then it just happened to restart so I lucked out. I guess I will not let the battery drain completely.
[Galaxy S II General] the_leviathan:
I noticed the same issue after the battery completely drained, except I was able to charge the phone, but oddly enough the charging splash screen didn't appear. I also had to pull the battery to get it to boot.
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
have you tried changing the cpu settings? when you first flash they are set at 1800mhz, i changed mine down to 1350 mhz, didnt notice any differenceand have not experienced overheating issues. Doing this will also help with battery life.

When cell radio is on, and sync it definately does drain more battery than Gingerbread did. However this is Cyanogenmod, the best Android rom available (my opinion):p
[Galaxy S II General] moosekhalil:
question

if i am coming from stock rom. should i just install cm9 first or do i have to have the previous cwm installed first ?
[Galaxy S II General] goldy_rocky:
Thanks for the update.
[Galaxy S II General] igorbelem:
Runs great on my phone. I only have one issue ,and I was wondering whether anyone else get it too.

Sometimes when I start my phone, or come out of flight mode.. it will take a long time for it to find service. At home I get LTE, and it sometimes happens. At work I get really bad signal HSPA .. like 2 bars, and it happens quite often when I come out of the basement(after disabling flight mode)

Also, has anyone been able to connect an Xbox 360 Controller with this phone with an OTG cable? It doesn't seem to work for me, but it does work on my Nexus 7. Thanks in advance. Great work btw, Dsixda :)
[Galaxy S II General] B.Moreira:
I noticed that when I hold my phone really low close my legs in get like 1 bar service but if I hold it up in the air I get 3-4 bars. I guess the antenna drivers or something aren't the greatest.
[Galaxy S II General] ntunit:
Hi everyone,

I'm not sure I am posting at the right place but... I'll give it a try.

I'm considering buying a SGH-I757M from Bell... it's cheap and the S3 is not... :P

Performance wise with this ROM ... how is it ? I can't find any review of people running this ROM about performance, battery life and conviviality.

Basically, I will do e-mail, web, multimedia and a probably a couple of games for the kids.

Thanks !
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
I've been running this ROM for about a month now. It runs smooth, fast and stable. With moderate use, you'll get 16-18 hours on a full charge. The HD display sucks up the juice so it's important to set an appropriate screen brightness for each situation (example: I use Tasker to dim the display when connected to Wi-Fi as it means I'm usually inside).

GPS works great. Connectivity to LTE and 3g works well (use 3g only to save battery).

I use overclock to 1728 and have the low end set to 192 to save battery with good results and no hangs.

I also use this phone as my primary portable music device. As long as the screen is off it will not use that much battery.

Games run well (Temple Run, Dead Trigger, Song Pop) and the camera is awesome.

In other words BUY THIS PHONE!
[Galaxy S II General] ntunit:
Thanks for the quick review !

This is exactly what I'm looking for...

I will give it a try !

By the way... do we have any chance in the future to have Jelly Bean ported to this device ?

Have a nice day
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Jelly Bean would likely not be provided by Samsung so your best bet would be CyanogenMod 10, which would probably be a better user experience anyway. CM10 is still a ways off in terms of stability and I haven't even looked at building it yet.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
A little bug

hey i was just using the camcorder and i was unable to use the zoom, the you can move it on the zoom scale but the display does not zoom. also sometimes the video will come out all jumbled digital lines all over and unable to see the image but can hear sound. im not sure if this is just playback on the device or actual video corruption. Im not sure if you need anything else other then that, I am on the latest build and everything else runs great. Thanks again for all the hard work you have put into this it is very appreciated. samsung should just start paying developers like you and then we would see the updates out within weeks instead of months or never like we have had with lots of others.

thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No idea. Again, I can never reproduce these strange issues you guys have.

According to a google search Zoom has never been supported for 1080p in ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] AllyKat:
Like this

It only happens a small percentage of the time. It only happens while using the Twitter app. It only happens when using the phone's Back button. Its no biggy. I am used to it and know its only that app that causes the buggy screen re-draw.

(The last build that I downloaded has way better battery life. Now its only the BlueTooth headphones that I use too frequently that sap on the battery life of the phone.)

Anyways... a few pages back...

Is anyone able to port the stock Boot Animation to work with CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
boot animations.

this is the quote from someone. "Is anyone able to port the stock Boot Animation to work with CM9?[/QUOTE]"

here is a website with a lot of different boot animations. i would advise going into the zips and taking the boodanimation.zip file out of it and placing it in the Media folder under the System folder with any root explorer.. i have done it a few times with a few different ones and its fine.

Anyone have multi touch issues with CM9 similar to the one shown in the following video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsYoxZiBTEA

Mine randomly loses track when I use 3 or more fingers and I'm trying to see if it's the phone, cm9 or even ICS that is the cause. Sadly I never tested using GB before I switched to CM9.

I have a galaxy note running cm9 RC2 and it registers 8+ fingers without any issues using the following app.

I asked the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket/Hercules guys a few weeks ago about it and they said it's not supported for their devices, which means I won't know how to add it to ours either (Skyrocket HD).
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
My Touch to focus works - it's just a different way. When you push and hold capture button. When you done with the focus - release button.

Did you talking about this feature?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No, if you touch a section of the preview screen, you see the square move to that area and get the focus when the picture is taken.

In our case the square remains in the center.

Flashing Gapps Issue

Hey folks,

I reverted back to Stock to test battery life (as I assumed, much better on this ROM). Unfortunately, I can't get Gapps to install. I've attempted multiple times. Downloaded a fresh version 0429 with no success.

+++ADDITIONAL INFO+++

I even reinstalled CWM, but still no joy.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Never has worked for me either, going back to Nexus S days :P. It only installs market and gmail, and I download the rest...
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Unfortunately, It isn't even installing the market at this point.

I remember when teamhacksung was first building CM9 for the Galaxy S I9000, they had a specific Gapps package. Is it possible that this is what your ROM needs?

EDIT: I was able to finally get everything added. I just had to keep trying to install Gapps. I gave up counting on the 25th attempt! LOL.

Still worth it as this ROM is awesome.
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
Basically it's the same - just the different way of focus. Instead to choose with finger - here you move the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] alexincanada:
Has any successfully made an internet call? When I use the SIP account for outgoing calls it rings but when the other line answers there is no sound.

Android has its own internet phone client built into the OS. It is pretty useful if you have a voip account like freephoneline. I can use an alternative app as a work around. I wanted to see if anyone was able to get the built in client to work.
[Galaxy S II General] bestavrosg:
What an amazing rom, fully functional and smooth and reliable, Thank you very much for your time and dedication for making this come into be, you have made me love my phone 10x more.

Out of curiosity does anyone know if there is any port of the Jellybean Camera/Gallery App that is available by apk or something? Because in this rom, the camera is missing "Touch to Focus" and this an awesome feature of the phone. Is this perhaps something that any of the developers have any interest in or know anything about?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] catfishkempster:
Not really: has a lot more to do with photo composition and the focus point within the image.
[Galaxy S II General] loci:
Touch to focus works if you hold the actual blue capture button. I know that with other roms you can touch the camera screen anywhere to focus, but this is just another way around that limitation until that is worked out.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Does anyone know, how to disable camera sound in this ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Put phone on silent/ vibrate, like most other firmware
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
But that only allows you to focus on the center of the screen, not a particular area. For example you may want an object on the side to be in focus but the ones in front of and around it aren't.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Yes, but i don't use silent mode, also i use camera a lot. It is a kida waste of time to switch silent mode and back again every time i want to make a photo... Is there any way to just GET RID of this shutter sound, regardless of volume mode i am using?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Again I have no idea
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
You can focus on particular area- all you need to HOLD blue button. And when you are done with focus - move you phone to the area where you want to do picture and release blue button.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
A Google search for " CyanogenMod disable shutter sound" would have shown you an answer in first result:

/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

I haven't checked this file as I currently am not using this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
I use root explorer and delete the sounds from system/media/audio/UI

I do this every time i update the phone. I also get rid of the camera focus and the video record(or what ever it is called) just make sure you use rw permissions
[Galaxy S II General] bestavrosg:
Thats the exact feature I am looking for and thats what they have implemented in the 4.1 update, amongst some other cool features. Anyone know any third party apps that would suffice, or have any knowledge of future plans for these features?

should it matter if were trying to flash it off the internal memory ?
[Galaxy S II General] bnevets27:
Nope, I have the same problem. Calls go through but there isn't any audio. Tried csipsimple but it just crashes. That's my biggest gripe right now because I that's how I make my long distance calls and it worked great on my captivate running cm9
