Hi everybody,
I registered here so that I can post extra my report. Because I really want a stable cyanogen mod on my galaxy s2
I'm an IT specialist, and have started various tests with CM7 on my galaxy S2, and those are the FCs:
Problems when changing from ROM to Lite'ning Cyanogen Mod 7:
Installed CWM, then flashed --> No success. Restarted CWM the GUI was blue, then flashing --> Done!!!
-Huge battery-consumption
-Black screen during and after a call
-2G/3G Does not switch
-Media and general phone volume too silent
-Video playback does not work, possibly with certain file extensions
-Video recording also works not correctly
-Bluetooth does not work
-WiFi works but very lame, there are disconnects
-Some apps do not work for example Old Book of Ra
-After you select a CPU clock mode for example power saving or ondemand mode --> crash - then --> only boot screen loop! Solution: flash again
The default access points are out of date, for example ePlus WAP GPRS (Germany)
to AWLauncher
The Home Botton which starts the apps was lose, you have to look after
I also don't like the launcher it is not not easy handle, various unnecessary options and settings ...
Things that I miss:
With a Stock ROM, you can call a contact directly if you wipe in the list on the contact with the hand --> to the right, and send an sms when you wipe --> to the left, can u reinstall this function again? Its Cool ;D
Absolutly: Samsung Touch Wiz 4.0 and apps, such as game hub (I do not think the Android Market) -> Would it be possible that you can install them separately?
Google Apps & Market (I know you can not install this with CM7, but this prevents the config of mobile phones at the beginning)
Q: Is it possible to choose a WiFi connection, befor you set up the mobile phone for the first time? Would be very useful, especially after a wipe. (Bakup Apps etc.)

@varoon, @angenit ...
Please check and confirm the status of the following findings on your respective devices ...
1. Keyboard characters messed up
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
2. SWAP SUPPORT NOT ON KERNEL, please install swapper 2 and try enabling it on your devices.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
3. Confirm if HOTSPOT(tethering) feature is missing from your settings.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
4. Choose 'external' from 'cyanogen mod settings - application - install location' install a couple of test apps from the market and check if they are installed on the external card.
- UNTESTED (I HAVE DARKTREMORS A2SD SO I CAN'T CONFIRM) !!!!!!!
4a. A2SD SUPPORT ON KERNEL EXPECTED.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
5. On screen keyboard not launching when phone rotated sideways.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
6. Selected input launguages not toggling when globe key pressed on physical keyboard.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
6(a). The keyboard is back in action, however it needs some further tweaks, The virtual keyboard has to be switched off when in the right-side-up position as it is redundant in the presence of the physical keyboard.
Also while in the landscape position the virtual keyboard takes up the entire screen space leaving only 1-2 lines visible for input space, very problematic when trying to drag the cursor guide(which keeps jumping to the beginning of the text field) to the right place in the passage while editing.
Tweaks : The virtual keyboard should not exceed more than 50% of the screen and needs to have better cursor guide control
- BUG IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
7. SIM card contents like contacts and SMS'es are not getting populated(viewable) in phone book and messages. The setting for USIM is missing from contacts display setting.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
8. The speaker phone volume while on a call is very low, using the volume button increases the in-call volume and has no effect on the speaker phone volume,
. The sound settings however are maxed out for ringtone, ringer, media and alarm volumes.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
9. In the 'battery use' section of settings the % and the progress bars are not matching, the bar stands at zero for all the categories.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
10. When you turn off the android keyboard in settings, the settings are forcely closed and when you try to go to "phone state" it closes... after when you reboot the keyboard is turned on again.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
11. Video Recording is also not working in the latest build.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
12. Since Build 15, the camera is not working, the moment the camera is run the screen starts blinking/flickering rapidly with "ANDROID_" showing on the screen, this state cannot be exited the phone needs to be rebooted to get out of this flicker'y loop.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
13. Since after builds 11 and 12 the overall performance of the animations or screen responsiveness has deteriorated with build 15 noticeably laggy or slow.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
14. Also the physical keyboard response is choppy i'e, the instant a key is pressed, the letters display a split second later on the screen. So when one is typing a little fast, you see the letters on the screen not keeping up with the speed of key-presses. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CHOPPINESS IS ONLY WHEN ONE IS USING THE PHYSICAL KEYBOARD !!! the android onscreen keyboard as a normal steady keypress response)
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
15. Wifi HotSpot connecting but internet not browsable !!! - since build 34
- TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
Thnx,
1.- Yes, I also have the interchanged keys, the same ones.
2.- Not successful
3.- Now with build 6 I have tethering and hotspot and they work. When I used 5 it wasn't available.
4.- Well I think some of them are in the SD, but Gmail was in internal memory (I moved it with force2sd)
5.- No keyboard when rotating screen.
6.- No changes with language globe or mail and calendar keys.
7.- I couldn't say that because I don't save information in the SimCard, just Google and PC :S
8.- Yes, totally true what you state.
9.- My mistake, bars are in 0! but numbers are working fine.
If you find anymore just tell me.
Thanks Angenit,
BUT LET US KEEP THE POST SHORTER - please avoid using quotes for the entire posts.
No. 4 - Can you test a few more apps installation to confirm if this is totally fixed in your build ?
No 3 - Wifi Hotspots seems to have been fixed - Can you test it extensively ?
No 9 - seems to have been fixed in your build.
@ Angenit
Can you please test your build as my build is the 5th one.
@ Ricardo - If you are watching this thread !
@ others/anyone
Is there a way we can update to the latest build(daily) without having to replace it each and every time ? This way i hope to retain the apps already installed from build to build and save the trouble of installing 40 odd apps daily.
help is much appreciated !!!
thnx.
If you use Rom Manager and don't check nothing but Dalvik wipe (which is checked by default) you will keep your apps. I updated two times and I haven't lost any app.
4.- Yep I receive a warning from appmonster telling me I can move it, but when I go to check if that's true they are moved.
5.- Well I tested it for half an hour and it was successful.
6.- No wait, you're right, the numbers are fine (different values) but the bars are in 0.
Build 6 works fine and has the hotspot and tethering option fixed.
Sorry i did not understand...u mean...
'un-check' everything else and keep the dalvik cache 'checked' ?
or
'check' everything else and keep the dalvik cache 'un-checked' ?
thnx.
When you choose the build in the SD with Rom Manager you get 3 options. Leave them like the following:
*unchecked* Copy the Rom in use
*unchecked* Erase Data & Cache
*checked* Wipe Dalvik Cache

Varoon, please upgrade to build 7 a few of the issues have been fixed.
Follow Angenit's post(below) on how to upgrade so as to not lose any apps already installed in your current build. I followed the same and successfully upgraded to build 7.

Sorry on my bad english
Hello from Serbia
Oh,build8 already..let d`l it
Well I've installed build 9, and there's no fixing of any of the mentioned bugs... It's just like 8.
I'm particularly interested in swap and the keyboard! I don't like it shows it when have to type because the reason why I got this device was the physical keyboard.
I wonder if the developers are even peeping on this thread, if yes !!! Please drop in a word saying so ... we know that u folks will be extremely tight ... not asking for anything more than a 'word' ... and we can't thank enough for what u guys pull-off !!!

Same here
On the keyboard issue, why don't you uncheck the android keyboard in the settings (you'll however get some errors - force closea) and you are good to go san the annoying keyboard.
Until the break and bug is fixed

New bug/break testing on build 9.......
others confirm if its pan your devices
as well before i add it to the main post.
When the Android Keyboard was unchecked
as reported earlier the settings need to be force-closed
a couple of times.
After disabling it i discovered the following...
When 'Compose New message(SMS) is opened, the physical keyboard does not
work on it. I need to re-enable the Android Keyboard in the settings to be able
to type into the Phone messaging(SMS) then the physical keyboard works on it.
waiting for confirmation across all modded devices.
cheers.
I have same problem as Aiamuzz described,there`s no way to type after disabling android kb.
Does anyone have a problem with sending mms?I was sending mms earlier,with this build (9) i cant,everything with settings for network operator is ok.
PS:I still have a problem with characters,can it be because i flashed phone with other version of fw,V10H_00?
Offtopic:where can i dl latest fw for Eastern Europe,in kdz format?
(I have V10H_00 and V10D_00)
NOTE: This is a list of bugs for STOCK (NON-MODDED) ICS 4.0.3 & 4.0.4 (LC4, LD2, and LE2) (Most bugs from the initial LC4 leak fixed after the two major version leak updates) from DesignGears.
If you have flashed to ANY OTHER CUSTOM ICS 4.0 ROM, PLEASE WRITE IN THE DEVELOPERS' / ROM thread.
1 - 03/26/2012: When selecting "Contacts to Display" and selecting CUSTOMIZE LIST > Selecting ONLY Google Contacts (EXCLUDE G+).
Then you start typing someone's name, it returns contacts in SIM card and on Google contacts.
2 - 03/26/2012: Autocorrect on the included "Android Keyboard" doesn't work by pressing spacebar.....like it had been in previous 2.3.6. Even when changing setting to VERY AGGRESSIVE. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
3 - 03/26/2012 [CONFIRMED] When deleting a message thread, the phone will freeze and turn into a blank screen (except notification bar) then the messaging app will close. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
4 - 03/26/2012: [CONFIRMED] When using the "PHONE" icon to bring up dialer, contacts tab is no longer associated in it.
5 - 03/27/2012: 50/50 Users report more sensitivity on the touch screen, some report lack of sensitivity of touch.
6 - 03/27/2012: HOW TO take screen shot: Press AND HOLD ... VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON for at LEAST 1-2 SECONDS. You will then be prompted to view the screenshot in notification bar / indicator.
METHOD #2 of taking screenshots: Press and HOLD Power button + HOME key.
7 - 03/29/2012: Some users report when tapping "RESTART" or "SHUTDOWN" on STOCK Power-button option, the phone will freeze. Either you have it or you don't. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
7 - 04/02/2012: Users report echoing or unable to hear other party on an INCOMING call. This is a "hit or miss" bug.
8 - 04/02/2012: [CONFIRMED]Bluetooth stack in the new kernel has resolved a LOT of vehicle-to-android phone issue (static, drops, functions, etc.).
10 - 04/04/2012: [CONFIRMED BIG ISSUE] When creating a new contact in phone and setting it to GOOGLE CONTACTs; forcing a sync or auto-sync option will NOT push the contact to google servers for backup purposes. However, deleting or creating a contact while logged in on a full web browser will push it back to the phone via sync. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
11 - 04/09/2012: [CONFIRMED] There are known issues with stock email app. Syncing unread/read e-mails will not push back to exchange server email client. Also emails me not completely send and stays "stuck" in outgoing box.
FIX (Thanks dixit):
This google thread shows the official issue and show that it was fixed officially in 4.0.4.
https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=23534
If you scroll down to post 51 you will see there is a link where someone put the two 4.0.4 APKs from a Spring Nexus S 4G which fixes this issue as explained above. So just go to that link, download the two Email/Exchange APKs, put them in System/App, correct permissions, remove your two Samsung Native Email APKs, and that will fix the issue of emails being stuck in the outbox.
Here is the direct link to those two APKs off Post 51
http://files.devphone.org/404mail/
11 - 04/15/2012: [CONFIRMED] When adjusting ringtone level in SETTINGS > SOUNDS, the ringtone level will not lower or raise; it stays at one level.
FIX: Adjust via volume rocker while in any other system screen (Home, MMS, etc) BUT NOT IN-APP. *Thanks petrochemicals!*
Here's what I found and posted in another thread...
So far so good except a few things:
1) I hate the fact that "contacts" are no longer visible in the dialer. Now I need another icon that I rarely use. The only option appears to hit menu and select contacts from there.
2) The "power off" and "restart" options in the extended power menu (hold power button down) seem to lock up and freeze whenever I try to use one of these thus requiring a battery pull. Anyone else experiencing this?
3) Can't use built in hotspot tethering anymore. This is something that I use with my tablet often. Any solutions other than a 3rd party app? If not, what app is everyone using for hotspot tethering?
4) Why in the world don't the signal bars turn green once fully connected? It's driving me crazy because normally that means its not connected to your Google account. This is the first time I've seen this (of MANY different Android phones). - This appears to be an ATT thing as other carriers and phones change the signal bars color when its connected to your google account (as it always should be).
Grey bars, works for for me; turning green = same color as battery = confusion to some it is acting as a double icon of ur battery? lol
I don't get a freeze in the menu.... I'm assuming you're talking about the built-in menu not a modded one? I just use the one that came with the ICS.
Hotspot tethering, you'll have to wait for a dev to mod that unless you are wanting an app for it.
I can tell you that I got my portable hotspot to work. It gave me numerous error messages though when I first went to set it up and the screen freezes when I turn it on. I went back to home and back to the hotspot settings and the toggle remained on. I changed the default password to all 9s bc I was getting an invalid password error. After that, I connected my old iPhone to the Skyrocket wi-fi.
I used to use Barnicle Wi-fi tether but it doesn't work now. Is there a difference between the stock portable wi-fi hotspot program on the phone and Barnicle? Im just curious if Barnicle masked the fact that the user was tethering.

Yes, I'm referring to the built in power menu. I fixed permissions in CWM and still no go. Any ideas???
I find the keyboard to be a bit slow on the responsive side. Anyone else running into that or am I just trying to type too fast?
Perform a Factory data / reset?
I find the new keyboard fairly responsive vs the old one; I just thought i typed too fast for the old one lol. This one actually keeps up and Swype keyboard tapping works more fluent as well.
good job guys, keep up the troubleshooting so hopefully some devs will cook up a nice rom

I'll give that a spin. I did that once already to fix my home button problem, so I'll try and do another. But yea I use to use the ICS keyboard from the market on GB, and that was quick enough for me.
stuff I notice so far
I did notice the contact tab missing from dialer. The menu selected one doesn't allow right and left swipe for call/text. In the contacts app, the swipe works ok.
the only real problem for me, thus far, is when deleting SMS threads; messaging force closes.
Anyone else have that?
BTW thanks for starting this thread, wasn't sure where to post bugs - I think this may be usefull to keep them all in one spot.
Getting some odd behavior from Rom Mngr
Aside from other errors I got, when I ask ROM Mngr. to perform a task, I get a bunch of errors like "Messaging has failed," "Internet has failed," "com.google.xx" has failed. But then it goes and performs the request.
However! Whereas on 2.3.6 UCLA3, when requesting a backup via ROM Mngr., it would go straight to the backup whereas now, it goes into CWM and I still have to select Backup from the option there.
Deleting threads freezes my messaging also.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
Noticed a new one.
Not getting pictures with messages now, too.
Nvm. Damn - I hate bug posts. They come, they go.
The only thing I've noticed so far is I don't seem to get LTE in my house anymore. Boo...
I'm having issues with audio files. I can't use either Google Play Music, Samsung Music Player or Doubletwist to play audio. It creates duplicates which I believe corrupt the file itself.

I get it too, but there is no need for a battery pull if it freezes during a restart.
Press and hold the power button and the phone will restart after a few seconds.
It's a leak, not an official release, so I fully expected bugs.
Face unlock crashes a lot for me.
It fails o power on the camera and then the keypad doesn't respond for PIN input.
Requires a reboot.

Did you do a complete ext4 wipe / format prior to ODIN ONE CLICK ?
Run factory data reset, then fix permissions and then reboot. Face unlock works perfect and pin input works.

I used to have my phone give me a 3 quick vibrate pattern for incoming text and other notifications. (System Settings>>Sound)
But now I don't have any of those options (or can't find it). Anyone know off hand where that is or how to get it back?
I believe I may have switch Messaging programs....think i flashed either AOKP or CM10 and was on the other previously.
If that's what made that change I'll flash back if someone knows.
I'm currently on Eclipse build 4...with justin860's 4.1.2 inverted apps.
thanks,
I'm on Jelly Bean's Rom Build 6 and I have the same issue (and I believe stock has this issue too). There doesn't seem to be any way to get a different vibration pattern for text messages on stock messaging app that I've found. :/
It is the cm10 mms. Inside there you get the choice, plus it has the quickview quick reply option popup which is real nice.
is it possible to flash cyanogenmod 10 sms app (or is there an apk?) without the full rom? edit: yes it is but it doesn't work on the rom I use (bean's rom build 6)

yeah I'd think it would work on any aosp rom like aokp or cm10 ....but not a tw rom like beans.
I made a fix for this problem (I'd post directly to my reddit thread but I can't yet post outside links so I'll just copy the text):
"So one of my biggest annoyances (pretty much my only annoyance) when I first got my GS3 was that the SMS notification for the stock SMS app is always a long single vibration rather than two brief ones (two differentiate it from a call vibration). I searched but all the solutions I could find involved battery-eating third party apps just for customizing notifications which I didn't want or third-party sms apps which I didn't want.
So I decided to roll my own solution. I bought Tasker and set up a new profile. Here are the instructions to set up this profile if you're new to Tasker:
Create a new profile with the [+] button.
For the Context, you want "Event" then "Phone" then "Received Text" and then click the check mark.
Then for the Task, you want "Alert" then "Vibrate Pattern." Here you have some options. You enter patterns in the format "#,#" where the first number (in milliseconds) is how long to wait before starting to vibrate, then the second is how long (in milliseconds) to vibrate for, and then you can add more to pause more and then vibrate more. I use "0,300,250,300" which means immediately vibrate for 300 milliseconds, then wait 250 milliseconds, then vibrate 300 milliseconds again.
Then just make sure you disable the vibration built into the stock sms app: go to your sms list, his the menu key, then settings, then scroll down to notification settings and uncheck "Vibrate."
And you're done!"

In the process of making a rom based on G900FXXU1POD1 UK EE firmware, mainly because I need Wifi Calling
It will only be a basic rom more of a dev base with some basic mods and bits removed
This something people would be interested in? If so would like a couple beta testers...

Downloading right now....Will report back after all went well
Please don't only post bug reports but please also post any suggestions on anything I can do but not too much as my aim is a pretty stock rom but with some functional mods needed or wanted for everyday use

I'd say that you could remove 3Minit Battery..or put mods in Aroma Installer,and let Choose what and not to install with the ROM. Viper4Android also would not be bad in AROMA Installer. Agreed with the removal of Quick Connect and S Search
Just Installed and Removed cause I noticed Big Bugs:
1) No Status bar
2) Black wallpaper,cant set even from Gallery nor Wallpaper selector
3) No lockscreen
I installed as described. @liamstears

Damn, don't worry though I know the problem, I will get this fixed up and re-upload soon
Have fixed the bugs, adding a couple more mods and re-uploaded
new mods are:
added 360 degree rotation
increased quick settings toggles to 6
removed increase ringing on incoming call
All working now so please download and report findings and suggestions
As for 3minit I plan to leave it in place, as I see it there are many battery mods to choose from to keep everyone happy, some cool and some pretty stock looking so options are there
As for viper4android if I get enough people wanting it I could add it as an option during install
Posted a small Update to the op:
home key wake disabled
volume level warning disabled
disabled battery/back cover popups
camera quality mod
slight volume boost on speaker and headphones
Can I get some feedback guys?
Unable to save wifi settings
Hi there - thanks so much for the rom - works perfectly but for one issue - it can't remember my home wifi network! I have to input the password each time I connect to the wifi which is mindblowingly annoying.
Not sure whether this is due to the ROM or not, but I have re-installed it after nuking everything via TWRP - cache, system, dalvik, the whole lot.
Didn't have this problem myself, maybe try flashing NON-HLOS.bin from POD1?

In fact, I've used ES File Explorer in root mode to view the wpa.supplicant file and can see that when I disconnect to wifi, the entry is deleted on disconnection. No idea why this is happening. I may have to just install the EE rom directly. How disappointing.
I know the thread is relatively old, but is there chance to refresh rom link ? I badly need wifi calling on S5.
Also is there lock for wifi calling on EE ROM? Im using EE ROM with PRT network but Wifi calling doesnt show up on the screen Phone>Settings>Call settings>[end of the list].
Looks like wifi calling on stock EEROM show up only when MNC/MCC on the sim is matching.
