1 Camera is a known issue.

2 If you were able to unlock the phone using the power button alone then the look screen was disabled in the settings.

3 This is the general ui setting for gummy. Other C.M. 9 versions do not have this in their ui.

4 you have to install GAPPS yourself to get Google play and the other google apps.

5 Known issue.

6 KNOWN CM9 ISSUE.

Please take the time to read the OP and follow the directions before posting/complaining.

If I am on a different cm9 rom do I still need to flash cm7 first?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Did anyone try out the current version? I want to try it out but it looks like it has signal problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
No... I need to update the OP...lol

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

It's not the ROM... It's the way the modem works with the ROM. If you follow the tips I posted about flashing your modem of choice, signal will be fine. IDK why, but for some reason, you cannot flash different modems in CM9 unless you push them via heimdall...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Okay, thanks. Since the modem is included in the rom, all I have to do it install cm7 reboot to recovery then flash gummy?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Yes... but make sure you follow the latest cm7 instructions...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Darky Brewster:
I recently flashed the latest update (8/1/12) from AOKP. I wiped cache, data and system, and everything seemed to flash just fine. Yet when i went to restore all of my apps through titanium backup, it said it was denied SU permissions. I used Root Checker and saw that i had lost root status. I didn't know if anyone else had run into this problem. I'm going to one click back to stock when i get home and reflash from cm9. Is there anything i did wrong? Or is there something i can do without having to one click back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
I had the same problem. Lock screen and home button didn't work either
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Flame182:
I am also having this problem as well,i just flashed back to stock. Still looking around for a solution though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hunterwei:
Same problem here, no root.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I found the problem... It's an error in update-script...

Here's an idea on how to fix it:

Reboot to recovery

Plug phone into PC

In linux, open terminal (In windows, start a cmd prompt)

Start abd shell (if you don't know how, google it please...)

Type: (hit enter after each command/line)

mount /system
chmod 777 /system/bin/su

Reboot phone

Check for root

Report back.

I will build an update to fix it as soon as I get a chance, but for now, this should fix su issues...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hunterwei:
Did not work. Not sure if I did anything wrong but I follow above steps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
I just updated to 3.0, I didn't have any problems with the SU. It still shows that it is rooted. I did switch over from another rom (paranoid Android) and kept my data. I know that it's bad to keep the data but most of these CM9 variants are close enough to get away with it, not MIUI though causes major FCs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
try flashing then cause this is only a couple people error... i just finished running gremlin remover then flashing back to froyo>gb>cm7>gummy just to make sure it was a fresh install and I'm still rooted... follow ALL instruction to a TEE as well... let me know how things work out...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
You have to have ADB installed, the easier answer might be to try installing Super One Click root to your windows machine. For those that aren't strong ADB users.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
try typing "su" without quotes then send command in terminal before entering the chmod in terminal, i dont think u can change that permission as app?? User instead of root ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Screenshot 4 in the Gummy OP shows a 2.6.35.7 kernel. Is that still accurate?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hunterwei:
God, forgot the su, so stupid. Thanks for this tip. Working now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NeCrO-XyStEr:
I dont know if this is known by anyone, but I fixed the SU issue by flashing from the latest CM9. In it's CWM, it lets you fix the root before you reset after flashing Gummy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
This is vague can you explain further what you did?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NeCrO-XyStEr:
Its exactly as I said. After flashing Gummy+gapps from the new CM9's CWM, you go to reboot. Before it does, a selection pops up, not unlike when you are wiping the cache, asking if you'd like to fix the root.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
slightly yes...lol

It's based off 2.6.35.7 with my personal changes... find out where i went wrong with the kernel version still showing up as the same older version. As soon as i get the final touches and updated finished, i will post the new kernel...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Darky Brewster:
Tried flashing from CM7 for the second time. Same thing happened in terms of root. Also tried running this this through adb and still nothing... I guess i'll be waiting for the update...

*EDIT*

After following what NeCrO-XyStEr posted about flashing from the most recent CM9 update, running the "root fix" option that comes up before reboot fixed the issue completely.

Lol, should have followed the golden rule of XDA, READ UP BEFORE YOUR POST!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Just confirmed this. Flashed from CM9 wiped cache/dalvik installed Gummy and Gapps. When you reboot it indeed asks if you want to fix root. Of course I said yes. ROM then boots up and all you have to do is update SU binary and your good to go. No issues that I can see yet. If any come up I'll update this post.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Thanks man, but are you still on the team FAH-Q kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Not sure what the previous kernel was but current kernel version is:

2.6.35.7-cynogenmod-ICS-00108-g2da8248-dirty

Pretty sure that's you.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Is there anyway to disable the soft keys (menu home back search) backlight in this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Idk really... but you might be able to do it with an app from the market. Unfortunately, i can't remember the name oh the app...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Screen filter? I tried, it does turn off the softkey backlight but it turns back on when you lock the screen or when you press a soft key. It does this for all roms using cm9 kernels. I thought it would behave differently since this rom uses a different kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombie138:
Can I flash to this rom coming from CN?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Yes. You can flash it from any cm9 based rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I have tried flashing from cm9a few times and i will warn you, there is about a 20% chance your efs partition might get messed up... that's why i made the install instructions like i did... if your efs does get messed up, you will have to flash back to stock gb and build back up from there...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombie138:
Gotcha, yea I don't need that to happen.... again lol. So I would need to flash back to CM7 and then this? I just want it for the kernel :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombie138:
I flashed it coming from CN with no problems. I guess I got lucky :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Look in the dev section for the kernel and how to install it...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
Facebook contacts sync

Alright for those that have noticed that our Contacts list and Facebook does not sync correctly. I have found a fix created by someone named Niranjan Thilak here's a link to his page, I found that the CM9 CWM version works for gummy. Read his OP carefully otherwise it just won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
The last CM7 only requires you to flash antionx's kernel before you flash. So you don't have to go through the efs back up, install, efs restore, and install procedure any more. So it's far less complicated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
Seems to be a serious battery drain issue in this rom. That is too bad because I liked the rom a lot especially the apex launcher. Went down all the way last night, left it on the charger last night, not turned off, and in the morning it was only 50% charged. I never had that happen before. I did not have a clock or something set to display while charging but I have done that with GB and it was fully charged in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gs_0523:
This rom does have a battery drain issue but its not that bad. Your battery should've charged all the way during the night as I have the 2300mah battery and it is fully charged in the morning. Check to see if any of your apps stay running or it could be a bad download. Wipe cache and dalvik. Let the phone recharge and see how it goes...this rom is bad ass.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
@nazcalito, sounds like you may have something else going on.

First, perform parts 1 and 2 of the gremlin remover process. Then flash gummy mutt as a fresh install (wipe /system & factory data reset). Flash the supplement then gapps. And finally reboot. But I'm afraid you may have a hardware issue like a bad charger or battery...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ROMKILLER:
Awesome Rom! I love it.

Tricked out Galaxy S 4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Flame182:
I'm not sure if this has been answered already,so bare with me. But is there by chance a solution on how to fix the clock in the status bar from stopping?

I've had this problem on all ics roms, I'm just looking for a fix, if there is one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
It sounds like you may have a serious gremlin problem , try going to one of the one clicks or GR remover follow the OP before asking Thomas for the link to GR remover. Also before you install that try installing a ROM freshly by doing a factory reset, wiping all the cashes and wipe the system data before installing a ROM. Not doing so is what causes gremlins, (left over orphan code from the last system or old program) gremlins do everything from cause slight system slowdowns, program errors, to soft bricking your phone. It really is important to follow a strict wiping procedure every time you switch ROMs. I am not accusing you of not doing so but just see if that works. Also since no one else has encountered this. It is no longer an issue about reporting a ROM fault. It should be fixable through troubleshooting. If you need further help ask in the Q&A section.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Flame182:
I have been wiping the caches and, properly flashing roms. I have also used the gremlin remover and the clock still stops... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Try and log it when it happens. I always had this problem but I could never replicate it. Usually for me, doing anything with YouTube or gallery caused it to happen to me. As of the latest CM9 release though, I haven't had it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Flame182:
Okay I will try to log it. Thanks for the help man .
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
This is an unknown error throughout many devices that not even Google has an answer to. It happens sporadically at best with no known root cause. I have this same issue on my skyrocket with aokp Rom. I'm trying to find the root cause of it, but the logs don't really tell me much. However, this problem definitely seems to only be an issue on ics/cm9. However, please log and get it back to me so i can try to find the problem. Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Flame182:
Okay, will do so Thomas.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
Flame I could find only one other person this has happened to, villacastana321 so fingers cross you guys figure it out. The only thing I think it might be is the tiny battery on the mother board I had a similar problem on an old pda
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
It's called a CMOS BATTERY and it powers the clock. It sounds like yours may be dead. Thank ifixit.com for the teardown photo of the sgs4g revealing the CMOS BATTERY! Also this may be a simple fix for any repair shop that replaces broken touch screens. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Good idea bot, but I'm not fully convinced that is the issue since my s2 is only 3 months old. However, there is no telling how long it doesn't on the shelf before they sent it to me. With that being said, I've found my clock stops while the phone is plugged in and turned on. Typically the CMOS battery isn't in a discharged state during recharge. But that doesn't eliminate the possibility of the battery being defective. Since i have another s2 that is bricked, I'm going to test your theory by swapping out the cmos batteries. I will report my results after testing in another thread as this is gummy q&a and we are quickly headed off topic.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
In some cases, going back to my old computer building days, the CMOS battery is directly in the circuit line meaning the corrosion leak from said battery causes an occasional short between the points of contact. That would explain why it would go out while under power. Like you said I am just guessing here. Either way can't wait to here the outcome of you expariment, fingers crossed, anyway back to the topic of gummy Q&A before we wonder to far off and the thread gods punish us.

Seen many posts about CRT off.

Just thought I would mention that I've used an app on my xperia arc called 'screen off and lock' which has an old style tv off animation. Don't know if this is similar.

I can also report that the app works on my SGSIII

Might be worth giving it a try?

Not working here...screen goes on after lock. Even with the right settings in app. Worse than the actual original mod.

It works if u disable touchwiz lockscreen.. Or do what i did to get the real effect.. Flash cm9 :-)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dlads:
Works fine here but the lock screen flashes up for a second, i seem to remember the original CRT doing the same thing.

Would be good if we could map this to one of the hardware keys, ie: Power.

Thanks :)

Hey, I really need this for my model of phone (try to get a network unlock code from phone), but I'm really noob at hacking at using linux. What command would allow me to check the 'hboot' string of a given mmcblkXpXX file?

Thanks heaps,

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
You have to dump the partition to the SD card via the dd command (you can use terminal emulator on your device) then copy the image to PC, open it with some HEX editor and look through the file
[HTC Desire S] GrayedFox:
DD onto Mac

Thanks. I've been using the strings command and piping to egrep for binary files, pulling only lines that have at least one 8 digit number present.I don't have very large SD cards on my phone - is there any way I could data dump directly to my mac, or alternatively (this would be much faster too) get my mac to do the work? Like... somehow open a terminal on the mac that had super user and root access to the phone?

Again, sorry for being a noob. I've been googling the above problem :S

EDIT: never mind. Downloading ADK now and will use ADB... pretty sure that will do it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] waiflih:

[Off-topic] mojo22:
Can all developers please share some information regarding job interviews?

I would like to know how to improve myself in a interview for development and how to improve my answers in order to make myself more appealing.

Here are some questions that i've been asked and would like to know how to improve the answers too:

1) When you need help with coding, what do you do? - what sites do you use? - How do you approach a solution?

2) When do you approach you senior developer?

3) How do you keep up to date ?

4) Give me an example of when you solved a difficult problem using PHP (or whataever language)

Basically many examples need to be given, not sure how to answer them.

There are other questions that I'll ask when they come to mind.
[Off-topic] mojo22:
I need some input guys!! or at least guide me in the right direction please
[Off-topic] Archer:
If I do go for a site, I first use Google and anything relevant to what I'm already trying to do to solve the problem. If Google doesn't help, or the answers are too vague and I need something more specific then there's no better help out there than StackOverflow. If you don't know it, get to know it ;)

Also, see the next question.

In the above scenario, after you've tried for yourself for a while at least. A senior dev will get narked if you keep hassling them without at least trying to help yourself!

Learn to prioritise. There's nothing really more to say about that as it's a personal experience thing. Make sure you keep notes of every task you need to do and mark it done when it's done, no matter how trivial it seems. You get better at it the more you do it.

This is obviously a very personal question that no-one can answer for you. I'm not gonna tell you about any projects I've worked on and had to deal with problems because there's no point. If you give it as an example they'll only ask you to expand on it and you won't be able to. Besides, it's all well and good trying to impress, but don't out-and-out lie at an interview. Basically, they just want to know that you *can* solve problems. Tell them something where you learnt something that you were able to use again - it shows a willingness to learn, the ability to understand there are things you need to learn, and that you can grow from such a situation.

Other than that, be confident and remember that they've got you in for an interview because they're already interested. Also, it's not a 1-way street. They might be arseholes that you'd never work for. The interview is as much for you as it is for them.

Not sure if any of that has been any help, but they're my honest answers anyway.

Good luck, and let us know how you get on :)
[Off-topic] mojo22:
This was indeed my exact answer! For some reason that is seen as a 'junior' solution believe it or not! I'm so pissed cause that is what people do...even seniors.

The question was more regarding, how do you keep up to date with software/tech basically. For example Wordpress has been updated. How did you know about it etc.

There is a new CMS system, how do you find out about it? etc.

I did try answer this question as you stated, it is hard though cause there was like 12 of them, giving constant examples was a PITA. I deal with it every day yet I found it awkward to sit there and tell a stranger all about it and that I am capable of handling it.... :(

Thanks a lot for your answer It DOES help! :good:

I will try to learn these pointer so that they are second nature. I need to boost my confidence too it's just that I try not to be arrogant and it actually become a downhill after that.

I need to improve my answers and don't know where to ask!
[Off-topic] Archer:
In that case, tech blogs with RSS feeds. I use iGoogle as my home page both at home and at work and it has different feeds on there for different bits of tech (web development, windows development, mobile development etc..)

Also, I think confidence is best when it's natural. If you've not got it yet then just keep getting better at what you're doing and you'll eventually get it. I've been doing it a long time now so only get a slight flutter of nerves at interviews. It's normally just a case of answering questions honestly and asking a couple of good ones back and I get the job. There's a lot of people out there doing development work, but not that many that have stuck it out and got actually good at it. Stick at it and you'll become a valuable commodity!
