Hi everyone!
I just updated my Galaxy S2 I9100 from CyanogenMod 11 to Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.0 (and I am using the stock kernel). Almost everything works fine but now when I turn the flashlight on and then lock the screen, it automatically turns off the light after a couple seconds.
So I assume that something linked with the custom ROM or Android 5.1.1 makes the phone quickly turn into a state where the LED must be off. But this bug is quite annoying and I would like to be able to use the flashlight also with the screen off. Any idea of what would cause this issue and how to solve it?
Thanks!

This is a bug that has been reported before. The only solution I know of is to install a different flashlight app from the market

Ok thank you then! Still, does anybody know what causes the bug? I did not actually find a thread where this is mentioned.

Latest Google Maps not working (according to reports, haven't tested), this is an important app!!!
A Github available so you can share your code. Android is open-source, and it is important that you share your fixes with the community, not just compile "closed" ROMs!!!

Massive battery drain sorry dont mind but the battery is good as far as i concern and some people also report that its having good battery life on my own experience i even noticed it is good not best ya compared to other CM version it is good
And I have problem with camera darkness plus vol up/down buttons not work for zooming (I set them in Advanced Options). Tethering not works too.

Same here..And I don't know why CM touch screen sensitivity always have different 'feel' compared to stock ROM, without notice I'm always touch the screen more tightly to prevent miss touch. I think you guys understand well
Ps. Since this ROM is nearest to official then I'll tell more CM bug:
The bass sound's ugly than stock. You can check with mort player with same equalizer (without DSP mgr of course). Also the equalizer freq change from 5 freq (stock) to 6 freq (CM) and if you slide bass booster on mort, the sound more awkward
Um..oh. Laggy gallery! LOL

Not only for messages but when someone is talking to you in WhatApp and others, with all notifications. I think this is to warn you that something happened when the phone was in standby. It's not a bug imo.
The same thing happens with others CM7 roms that I've tested and the AOSP too.
but until you use them do not light. remember that in another CM7 ROM, this does not happen if I went to Settings-> CyanogenMod-> Interface-> LED Notification, except that in this rom, there is no menu Led Notification
is a very good rom but i have a problem, i test smartass, v2, conservative and never enter in deep sleep always 245mhz (my min frequency).
ps: sorry my bad english.

That is common..
Market does not get updated to the latest version. In earlier CM versions, it used to get updated.
Market.
*edit Fixed the problem with market icon
Great ROM so far.
text messaging touch goes rumbled, maybe coz of sensitivity... hope to fix it on next release :clap: more power to Frozen Ace Team...
After two days of usage, I would like to report that this ROM has battery drain issues. Much more than the vo-1 version of CM 7.2
wifi?
Wifi does not work for me. It doesnt scan. When I turn it on in the notifications bar it just turns itself off again after a minute or so.
In the settings the same thing happens. (sometime here it even force-closes)
I found this in the ROM-Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292):

Wi-Fi works fine, but when you turn it ON you can`t see all points, as on stock FW. You must go to the Wireless setting and insert your password there."
When I tried several times to type in the password and SSID it still didnt connect and just turned wifi off again.
Unfortunaly, this link http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/41455-cyanogenmod-7172-samsung-galaxy-ace/ does not work for some reason. (maybe just my computer...)
just checked, it worked: link is not helpfull
Does anyone know how to use the front key lights as notification led's on our L9 since we don't have one? I found out how to use the camera flash as one but that's the back of the phone and i don't like facing the phone screen face down on anything in fear of scratching the screen.
If there is not a method already around somewhere to do this, how hard would it be to get this working? I think it would be a great asset to our L9s!
R: [Q] Notification LED
Use LG Notifications from Playstore. It's free but requires root.

Please try the NOLED app. Probably a better option. Tried on my HTC Glacier. Works.

Works for me.
How does it behave for you? On my L9 nothing changed at all once installed and enabled :/ What settings did you choose? Do they flash after the screen turns off for awhile after the notification, and stay flashing until they are read??

I just chose the default settings, and it flashes the front key lights till the message is read. Maybe cause I'm using P760 V10h on my P765.
The app is a battery drainer since it wakes the cpu up each time the buttons light up.
Im hoping they can program this feature into future roms for the L9 where it just causes the LED's to blink until the screen is turned back up when a notification is received. Not sure if its possible to program the blinking to run without waking the cpu?
That was another concern of mine, but if it was integrated into the rom in such a way to not wake the cpu then battery life would not be affected as much.
EDIT:I fixed it! turns out it was a hardware problem which occured after i replaced the screen. It was fixed by following instructions on this youtube video,called "How to Fix Proximity Sensor Issue for Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, or Note 2" ( i can't link right now because I'm new, so just look it up on youtube.) so if anyone encounters the same problem hope this video will help!
Hey guys. New to the forum I tried to do a bit of searching but couldn't really find an answer.
So I have two questions/problems I guess.
First off when I go into a call, sometimes the phone screen goes black as soon as I start the call, and won't turn back on until I hang up using the power button. From what I understand it's due to the proximity sensor always being on? But I have not been able to find a solution to this.
Secondly is, I've noticed with the lock screen notifications, when I ticked the option for wakescreen when receiving notifications, and when the screen is off, the proximity sensor is on. and when i untick the wake screen option, it goes off again.
I'm using Fusion-Boeffla Rom latest version as of now, 26-02-14 one. But this problem has been around when I was testing different roms such as temasek unofficial CM.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
1- go to calls -> settings -> uncheck turn of screen during calls.

I can't find that setting unfortunately, also is this a hardware problem or software?

And its probably a kernel / rom issue

i can't click the link, but i've seen that option in stock samsung roms before, but i can't seem to find it on my rom. And you're right, its very likely its a rom/kernel issue, i may try a different rom or even stock to see if it helps =) thanks

I'm experiencing it too, I'ts a bug I think there will be no workaround for it :silly:
I use my flash light a lot and never have had this? I have installed the mod for a brighter torch, maybe try that?

I flashed medium all and modified the settings to 100,000 instead of 500k.
My flashlight was flickering as well, but a reboot seemed to fix it. I used the quick settings flashlight icon.
I had this issue yesterday, I think it only happens when I turn the screen off while using the flashlight. Maybe something to do with doze?
I had flickering too, plus I couldn't turn off flashlight after it was on for few minutes. Only reboot helped to turn off the light.
I have the same problem since I installed 6.0

This helped me to fix the issue and made it even brighter. Won't miss it anymore.
My Flash Light automatically turns on every few minutes (at random time). The "Flash Notification" is turned off. This problem is draining my battery. It does it always, even when the phone is idle. I cant figure out what triggers the flash light. I tried starting my phone in safe mode, but the problem persists. I dont want to RESET my phone right now (for some special reasons). How can I fix it? Is there anyway I can pinpoint the process that is triggering the flashlight? (my phone is Samsung S6 Edge)
Using stock or custom rom??
Turn off gesture control!

Thank u for the reply bro, its STOCK ROM, I have never flashed it. I m really helpless now. I wish there is some kinda process identifier which can show me which program or process actually turns on the light.

Thank u for the reply, I have never messed with any setting and it has never been this way. Its Samsung S6 Edge, there is no off-screen gestures kinda thing but I turned off all the Edge Screen settings. Its been happening for 6 months. I have not installed any untrusted apps.
