Hello,
It's been a while since I last came here and I decided to upgrade my old Unofficial CM7 SnowGoose into an Unofficial CM9.
I understand bootup is messed up with the M logo going haywire. That doesn't neccessarly bother me, but what bothers me is that I can't disable the animated CM9 logo. Back when I used CM7, I used to be able to access the Cyanogen Settings. However, it seems like the devs fused both the Cyanogen Settings and the Regular Settings together. I can't seem to find the option to disable animated boot. How can I disable the animation?
I would also like to ask what is the differernce between the CM9 and the CM10.1 alpha builds in terms of battery life.
Please and thanks.

Spam. Close thread due to member's lack of ability to read threads in the dev section.
As for bootanimation, it can be removed by folliwing this howto ( took 10 seconds to find it on Google, by the way)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589796
As for the second, you need to read both rom's threads, that has been discused there

Ugh hi... thanks for the replies. I tried looking around the threads relevant to the releases on how to disable boot screen, I couldn't find it. I also somehow overlooked the FAQ section about CM9 VS CM10.1.
I'm sorry if I caused any trouble. I decided to return to CM7 in the end.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out. It was well appreciated.

Hi,
There is a package in Spike's thread for v5.0 for the battery percentage. My question is, can that be installed on v6.1?

v6 is a different base. So maybe wait for him to come out with one for v6 first. Should be any day now.

Thanks for the answer...
btw i have a little more questions...
after using v6.1... i realise that i am no longer able to take screenshots on my sgs2. the home + power button does not seem to work. is there a different way on this rom to take screenshots? or need another app?
also is there a way to remove homescreens? by default it has 5 screens, can i disable one or more of it?
last question, how do i configure to set the USB connect on default as usb storage instead of media server?
UPDATE: seems like the battery percentage for 6.1 is released: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22790151&postcount=492

I really missed the days i can take a screenshot just with home + power buttons .Now i'm using a app to take screedshots(do a search in the market then you'll find many). Hope the CM9 team intergrate Screenshots in their work.
Are you using Trebuchet launcher ? If so you'll find the homescreed settings in Trebucher settings(press menu key in homescreen and select Trebucher settings) .
The media server is annoying to me too but now i'm trying to get used to it.Maybe you can try this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375

thanks to your reply i now know about trebuchet. now that helps me to reduce those unused homescreens. but some of the options does not work such as Dock and Icons. Ill have to start googling about this anyways...
but yeah i hope spike will add the screenshot. i dont want an app for that. better to intergrate it with the rom i think.
SPIKE, if you see this, i sincerely thank you for this awesome ROM. you have done great. I am loving every bit of it. thank you!
Guys,
I was reading the development thread, and now there is a 6.1 version. Somebody said that he updated from ROM 2.3.6 to Pure ICS 6.0...
I would like to be sure if this can really be done without having to install stock ROM first or something like that. I have stock ROM 2.3.5 with root, and I would like to know whether I can go straight to flashing Pure ICS 6.1 with Odin or not.
I am asking cause I have seen many different comments on approaches people have followed, and I want to know whether I can do this first or not.
Thanks!
The trebuchet is far from complete and still under development(pretty stable for a alpha release ,though). You can have a try at Nova launcher and see if it fits you.

I suggest you flash a sammy leak ICS ROM first , it won't take you so much time.

There should not be any issues. I flashed straight to 6.1 from a stock official release of 2.3.6. worked fine for me. did not have issues. just make sure to follow the steps provided carefully.

I just flashed Pure Special Edition straight from one of the KI or KJs, everything works ok (Great rom btw) but I noticed the colors are slightly off. Almost like overexposure?
The color looks slightly faded and runny in and is quite obvious in videos and games. Wonder what's the issue here? should I reflash?
Cheers
Check Display - Screen Mode to see what it is set as. It is in Settings. You can make or more punchy there.

Screen Mode was set to Standard, and setting it to anything else make it look worse... However, the screen did look slightly better once I turned off auto brightness and adjusted it manually. Totally forgot that ICS had a problem with this!
However, I noticed that stuff like font edges isn't as sharp as when I was running stock. I guess I'll flash stock ICS tonight to check what the problem is...
pure ics 5.0 vs 7.1 battery life.
Hello. Why is my battery life 100% better with Pure ICS v. 5.0 than 7.1? is there a way to make 7.1 as great (im my opinion) in terms of battery life as 5.0? of course 7.1 is fully functional and I would like to keep it.
Thanks.
Transparent lockscreen
Hi all,
Does anyone know if spike is planning to get rid of the samsung lockscreen?
It would be so much nicer to have the stock transparent lockscreen as on the galaxy nexus.
Hopefully it will come round with 7.3.
For those who want to install AOSP Calendar in Spike 7.2, maybe can try flash AOSP Package for Pure ICS v7.0
ICS call screen
I wanted to know if there are plans to incorporate the in call screen from ICS into this ROM? I switched from CM9 to Pure ICS and so far it's the only thing about CM9 that I prefer.
You can ignore my above post, apparently this is a future theme change. Looking forward to when it actually gets implemented.
New to this forum so apoligies if this post is in the incorrect place.
I rooted and installed CM9 last night and tried to follow the noob guide which was not that clear especially when you don't know what flash means. I know I am a real noob I ended up finding a great video by searching Samsung galaxy s2 root. Had all the links and latest version of cf root.
I have to say CM9 is what the S2 should of been like !
I have a few questions though. Sorry in advance if these are noobie questiins.
1. On stock ics for my device when i chose a picture from gallery for wallpaper it would let you choose if you wanted it in portrait or across 3 parts. Now I have a box which I have to adjust and I can never get the size correct !!!
2. How do I get a seperate picture on my lock screen.
3. How do I get camera to save to SD card , there is no option in camera settings ?? would this be because google devices have no sd slot ? is so how can i change this?
4. How do I get the cool unlock effect then after I do that get the pin option ?
5. Anyway of adjusting keyboard options like key size (way to small at the moment) and feedback as vibration is too strong at present.
6. How do I get folders in the app draw ? Can only do it on homescreen. Very annoying as could do this previously and I am ocd with these things.
7. Found that if I use the camera there is a very slight pink splodge in the center of the screen. Never had this before ?
8. No 3G but i do get the H symbol occasionallyy pop up??
9. Battery life poor and really really much worst whilst using gps.
10. gps takes at least 5 mins to get a signal on navigation / maps even when i have it fully on.
11. How can I get notification numbers on the text and email symbol on the homescreen ? beleive its on stock ics.
12. Anyone know if whilst in rom manager I can update to the latest nightly build and is this the best way to update my phone now i am on cm9 ?
13. Sometimes my homescreen swipes are inaccurate ?
14. keyboard presses sometimes dont vibrate but letter appears?
15. anyone know how to get music player to look like this. http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cm9-music.jpg?139d23. the cm9 one looks grey and dull and has less options.
16. my videos on my sd card wont play ??
17. lost notes which came with the s2? where can i find it ??
18. how can i get gestures like cm7
19. how can i change themes as the option seems to be unavailable in the menu e.g its there but wont let me press it ?/
Thanks in advance. I know there are lots of questions here and all the little things here won't put me off using cm9 as its sooo much better than stock !!
+1 with the inaccurate home screen swypes and also when turning a page in moon reader pro....

answers to some.. .
2. not at the moment
3. Cant at the moment (use ICS+ Camera from play store if you want that)
4. i guess you mean Faceunlock.. read the CM9 discussion thread lots of questions answered in the first post)
6. is being worked on in nova Launcher but no others at present..
7.KNOWN ISSUE for most people since the phone came out...
10. there is a GPS fix you can get but you just need to experiment with radios etc,... again search the CM9 discussion thread
11.. being worked on on various launchers not a CM9 issue (believe Nova and Apex are working on this)
19. Themes are not essential as it is only a nightly build ..
remember most of these issues are known about and are varying in importance on when they are worked on.
thanks
Thanks so much for the answers.

Google ?
No point using Google. If I had found the answer there then I would not have created the thread. I have also emailed / posted cm direct but they state they won't reply or that in so many words. I am assuming that battery life has reduced due to rom but don't know ? That's why this thread was created ?

And yet, his answer provided you with the information you needed to find out yourself.
Common cause of battery drain is wakelocks, and his provided google search linked you to a ton of threads and links which detail what to do to find out what is causing wakelocks, and how to try to prevent them from happening. That will improve battery life.
"No point in using Google".... C'mon, dude.
Rule #1 of the XDA Developers forum rules: search before posting.
Some people don't care for boot animations sound but some do, so if possible for all of us that would like to have sound in our boot animations could someone give us a helping hand. Android is all about customization and it would help me a lot of someone could tell me how to add sound to my animations.
I have tried a lot of methods and i haven't got any to work. I have been looking this up for about 3 days with no luck. Most threads end like this lol......
{Has anyone else have any luck with getting custom boot sound ? I really think it has to do with which ROM you're running.....
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ght=boot+sound ......
I don't believe sound can be used on AOSP... not 100% sure, but I don't think it can
You can have sound or animation one of the other not both.
I have installed "the missing nexus one boot screen" but cannot get the sound file from the post to work. I have searched forums everywhere and have tried everything. I am running the newest stable build of Cyanogen 6. Can anyone help please?!?!?!?!?
Type in Google (missing nexus one boot screen) to find the link under search. It wouldn't let me post it in here because i'm too new I guess. It is an xda forum too.

Lots of questions about boot animation sound but no answers. I would appreciate it if someone could please help. It would save me so much time I really don't want to strip down a Rom just to figure out how to add boot animation sound.
Thanks,
Jerrell
Update to post: Posted the same question on rootzwiki and this is the reply i received so we can expect sound soon.
Akellar stated: Boot audio will be added in a future build. Already committed to gerrit.
You can't be running cyanogen 6

Good people of XDA-Forum,
this is my first post after following this forum for quite a while. I am using an international SGS3 and have been trying a lot of different ROM's during the last few months. A few days ago I went back to something quite similar to the stock ROM: Omega ROM V44, based on JB 4.2.1
The problem that I am not able to solve without help is the following:
After installing Omega V44 my phone had this new toggle bar with toggles for WiFi, GPS, Sound, Screen rotation and Bluetooth. As I dod not find out how to customise this, I have installed the well known APP Power Toggles. The problem noc is that the new toggle-bar is there, but the old one wasn't replaced by it and is still in the first row?
I have been Googling for the answer 6-8 hours yesterday and today, but it looks like I'm the only guy on the planet who has this problem. It may or not have something to do with the Omega Settings. I saw screenshots of an Omega Settings menu in the Omega V44 Thread in the developer forum, but on my ROM I can't find the Omega settings.
I hope that someone can shed some light onto this sad story.
Best,
Jacob Kane
This is a pre release leaked software build and so is not fully complete. One of the things missing is the notifications control.
Also, a lot of mods don't work on this new leak properly as they're still being tweaked and there will be slow progress until Samsung release the source code for the kernel etc.
My advice would be to use v43 if you want to mod lots of things.

====================
Im a Omega ROM users also and infact imusing V44.1 and it is running smooth.
if you are following the thread on Omega rom youll find the answer. Unfortunately V44 is still beta and MOD are not fully supported yet even custom kernel is not yet supported.

here you can also check this page and so happy with OMEGA coz it is widely supported by our great devs and very thankful with that
hope you find it helpful. goodluck
I would say that this is especially dificult without source code as:
1) The way toggles have been implemented by Google in 4.2 OSP is quite different from the way Samsung was doing it
2) Samsung's implementation of the new 4.2 behaviour is, again, different from both samsung's old implementation and Google's new one
So there's no way to adapt existing methods, one would have to decompile packages from the last leak and try to see how it works
Anyway, any updates on this will probably end up on wanam's 15-toggles thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876384
Hello everyone.
I have a few questions after i recently installed this wonderful ROM on my S3:
1) When i try to change the color of the Notification panel clock, Network bars and Wi-Fi signal nothing happens (Using the Wanam Xposed Application). The only thing i can change is the batter icon colors. Is this a bug that can be changed later or am i doing something wrong? (Didn’t see an option to change the alarm clock color icon as well )
2) I have installed the ROM using the Imperium logo when you boot your phone but although its very nice its a bit noise when starting up. I have looked in the Imperium ROM features but i couldn’t find the stock Samsung startup logo in the download options. Can i get the stock startup logo and sounds? If not which one do you recommend downloading that is less noisy?
3) In all my stupidity i have installed the ROM with the stock music player (should have picked Apollo ) and not i regret it. Is there any way to get installed? Also, when i installed the ROM i thought i saw a sound mod that made the sound clearer or something cant remember what it was. Does this mod runs by default with any player or do i need a special kind of player to benefit from it. If so how do i get it?
I really appreciate all your help and im sorry about the noob questions
Thank you and regards.

Oh and i forgot to mention one more thing: when you press the Home button while youre in an application it doesnt go directlly to your Home screen tab but the tab where you were before starting the application. Is there an option for this as well?
Im sry to post here and i guess ppl who can help about this are mostly on the development thread but i have tryed to post there but im not allowed since im a new user
So can anyone please help with the above points or do i really need to make 10 posts so in can write in the developers thread where i should have been asking in the first place. Searching for every point of my issue on this forum is to much trouble for not to mention i dont think i would be able to find anything that specific.
Please try imperium v21. I tried them all ... And I mean all of the Roms .. Stock and nodded and this one is the best. Smooth as hell and no battery drain... With almost 4hrs of screen on... Battery is lasting almost 1 day.
Is the best ROM I ever used on s3 i9300. International model.
After 1 night of sleep the battery drain is 0.8%/h... Can't get anything better than this one.
