[Q] Swapper2 not working SGS2 CM9 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody from XDA!
First of all I'm running CM9 (Nightly) build on my S2, I used to have CM9 on my S1 for almost a year, so I flashed my 2 month old S2 to CM9 (Stock JellyBean was just freaking annoying.) At first on stock JB and ICS I was able to use Swapper2, but since I flashed CM9 it will not create a swap file. I get the error message: "Enabling swap(file FAIL), Function not implemented."
This did not appear at stock. At least, the "enabling swap(file) used to say "OK" and the "Function not implemented" did not even appear. Could it be maybe that Swapper2 isn't compatible on Cyangenmod, or is it the kernel I'm using? I'm currently on the stock kernel that comes with Cyangenmod. On stock I had Siyah V6.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone ever find a fix for this, i am experiencing the same.

[Q] latest kernel for miui 2.2.3(GB) SGS2

hello.
I went back to miui 2.2.3 after getting annoyed with all the little bugs in different ICS.
GB is stable enough for me.
currently i'm using SiyahKernel 2.6.14.
i know that i cannot use SiyahKernel v3, beacuase it was designed for ICS.
is there any NEW kernel for GB? or everyone has passed to ICS?
i have tried searching for days, and didnt find any current kernel.
thanks.
Doubt you'll find anything more 'recent' than that last build of Siyah. Almost everyone's moved on.
If their is any new kernel its posted in the usual place .
Yes most are on ICS and i am even nearly on ICS once i decide what i want .

How to create Dual boot with Stock 4.0.4 ICS??

Guys,
I have been using codecROM for the past one month and i felt it was Superb. but i'm a viber user so viber isn't working on codecROM 9.1 so i had to revert back to stock ICS ROM. i have seen few posts regarding dual boot in Siyah Kernel. what i wanted to do now is as follows:
1st Boot: Stock ICS 4.0.4
2nd Boot : Any other custom ROM
is this possible..??
Currently my phone is Fully rooted.
also suggest me any ROM in which apps like viber which use wifi for calling will work for sure..
Thanks a lot guys i have learnt a lot from xda-developers
Great first post - not
Tip: Search for Siyah kernel

my bad ... sorry guys.. just now i came across this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686 so according to tht dual boot is not supported by ICS... what if i update to 4.1.1(jelly bean)?? then how to dual boot??
Once you upgrade to jelly bean you will have to install siyah kernel, the latest version to be able to dual boot. Read through the siyah kernel thread under original android development, it'll explain everything.

Homebutton Lag with Dorimanx Kernel[8.14]

Hi guys! I'm new to all of this.
I rooted my Galaxy S2 on a whim with the dorimax kernel.
Now I have the following trouble: There is a noticable lag between pressing the home button and closing the app/returning to the home screen.
This effect started happening after I installed the offical JB update from my provider the dorimanx kernel made it a lot more noticable(ICS was way faster in that regard... which puzzles me quite a bit)
What do I have to do to reduce this problem? Change something in the settings or install a non-stock ROM?
----------
Also three other questions out of curiousity:
Can I use the dorimax kernel with the neatrom?(as the need rom comes with another kernel, I would have to flash the dorimanx kernel on top of it after installing everything?)
If I made a nandroid backup before installing Neatrom: would I be able to return everything to how it was(stock SAMSUNG Rom with dorimanx kernel;by simply selecting my backup under the restore option in CWM) before installing neatrom in case I dont like it?
What is better: The CM that is based on JB 4.1 or NeatRom? Is the CM version based on 4.2 usable, or do they still have some annoying problems? <----I guess there is still no stable build for 4.2 under CM?
Thank you very much guys.
If I get positiv comments I'm gonna flash neatrom first thing tomorrow morning. I allready have nandroid backup and saved a lot of my favorite apps with TB.
Another QuestioN: Would I be able to install the Samsung Stock email app from a TB-Save on another rom?<-- I know that you shouldn't do this with system apps(I dont want to reenter the server adresses for my email account in an other app)

I'm Sure someone else will know different but for me the lag was always there and I never heard of a way to reduce it, I've been using an s3 mini today running 4.1 and there is considerable lag between pressing the button and returning to the home screen so it could be a fault in Samsung JB rom's. Try neatrom, as I understand it's blazingly fast and a considerable improvement over stock.
I've been running cm10.1 for a while and it still has some big bugs (hardware composer etc) that will probably never be sorted due to Samsung's unwillingness to release their sources, and the FM radio does not work. However everything I use works the odd game doesn't (real racing 3) due to I believe the Mali drivers but other than that everything else is running ok. Recent updates have made it very fast and for me it's faster than any "stock" based rom.
Yes you can use dori kernel with neatrom and cm10.1 as well, although you will need the 9.xx kernel.
You can use the stock email app on neatrom and any other stock based rom but not on Cyanogenmmod or any other AOSP based rom.
Yea backup in CWM and you can restore it if you don't like Neatrom.
Hope some of this helps

[Q] Couple of ROM questions

Just as a quick intro, I'm not a total noob, but I'm no expert either. I had an OG Droid that I rooted and had installed several ROMS before upgrading to a Droid Razr. I decided to root this one also and I'm running CM 10.1.3 with JellyBean X kernel, all installed with Safestrap.
I had some issues with my baseband not working properly with CM, so I decided to try to install a clean version of Jelly Bean to see if that helped the problem. The ROM I was going to download required me to install BMM 3.0.4 which I did. Once that was done, I rebooted and lo and behold the phone booted into the original Verizon version of Jelly Bean. At this point I have not installed anything but BMM. Why did this happen? I thought I had done a wipe when I installed CM. Is this because I installed CM into a second slot and now BMM is booting to the original slot? As far as I know, CM is still on the phone somewhere. How can I get back to it? Is it going to be a problem as far as phone performance to have both of them on the system at the same time?
Finally, like everyone else, my goal is to get the best performance out of this phone. I would like to avoid the stock ROM due to all the bloatware. Is the clean JB a good option? Will this fix the baseband problem (poor to no service)? Is there a baseband fix I can use in conjunction with CM?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.
Not sure if you are just looking @ AOSP ROMs, but I've done well with the bionx ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45291834:
Its stock based, haven't had any issues and its different with some Xperia launcher and whatnot. Has a lot of options/tweaks in dashboard app as well..
