After I flashed 5.2 - mine hung at "dual core" screen.

I had to flash a kernel from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1520417

My phone can't take anything higher than 1.3 - I had this issue in an earlier build also. Can anyone verify what the OC is set to in 5.2 build?

It's set to 1.4

I just tried again to flash 5.2, this time over a nandroid 5.1 backup. I got to the Android "optimizing apps" part, and then it said "finalizing boot". Rebooted my phone and hung indefinitely at Dual Core screen. After that, I can turn it on and sometimes it will hang at Dual Core, sometimes at CM9 boot logo.

In any case, something is weird about 5.2. I have been using every update, flashing using Joker's v3 recovery, and haven't had any problems. This update doesn't like my MoPho.

Everything here works just fine. I'm using the old photon3 recovery.

Is it safe to update to a new release with the CWM android app? Or should I do it manually through the CMW menu at boot?

it's probably too overclocked for your device. before you flash the update drop it down to 1ghz or something low. then flash it. make sure you set it to "set on boot".

it's no bug. everything works perfectly here. so try that. i know some phones don't always handle overclocking well.

Has anybody else noticed that after a few weeks with this ROM the signal strength gets worse? I've had this happen with a few different version of this ROM (I don't update every time a new version comes out). Signal strength is always the best right after installing a new version, and after a while the signal strength gets significantly worse. The only way to fix is flashing a new version.

My brother and I both independently noticed this.

Maps, specifically the Traffic Widget, "unfortunately stops working" w/0.5.2 and joker gapps v12. I've tried wiping maps (via Titanium Backup) and installing from Market, as well as reverting to gapps v11. The map is working now (from market), though the widgets still fail.

    Okay due to the recent changes in cm9 install process I am writing a short guide from my phone. A longer version is planned and will be posted on my site.

    If you wipe system you must flash the rom twice. Anyone that has followed long enough remembers the double flashing days till I fixed it. Well its back.

    So to update from any cm9 rom with wipe

    Factory reset
    Flash rom
    Flash gapps
    Simple.

    To update from any cm9 without wiping.

    Flash rom
    Flash gapps
    Simpler.

    To update from cm7, miui, gingerbread, etc

    Wipe system
    Factory reset
    Flash rom
    Flash rom again(notice it takes longer)
    Flash gapps
    Profit

    What about dalvik cache?
    Well it sits on data and is checked every boot. If it detects a change it will erase the old cache and rebuild. So if you do a factory reset you erase dalvik cache. If you upgrade versions without a wipe it magically erases dalvik for you.

    What about data or cache?
    Factory reset wipes data, cache, and apks installed on any sdcards.

    Why should I only wipe system if coming from a non-cm9 based rom?
    Cm9 has install scripts that copy certain noncm parts from system, installs then puts it back. If nothing is there it can't copy. Thus flashing twice.

    When do I flash gapps?
    Every single time.

    My battery sucks?
    Cm9 handles a lot more open apps then gingerbread. Multitasking is spectacular with ics. However running 70+ apps at once turns your phone into my ex and literally sucks the life out of your battery. This explains why there is such a drastic difference between battery life's with different users. Also keep in mind that we are using a froyo kernel, drivers from 3 different devices and none are ics tegra ap20 based, and this is still beta.


    So why do people get an attitude with me?
    Because you don't search or read. I purposely don't hold peoples hand. You must read at least some. There is always a risk with flashing anything custom. The more I baby people the dumber the questions get, however once stable I'll dumb it down to anyones level and tweak it to death. Currently I'm only going for a fully functional cm9. Then comes the fun

    Look this isn't a stable rom. Its not completed. Currently I'm trying to get sw encoding going for the camcorder. Right now that is causing the camera to run sluggish. Oc and you'll be fine in landscape. Camera does work. You people do realize we have no ics kernel or drivers? The fact that it works at all is pretty good considering how many devices out there don't have ics at all much less have camera.

    When I get time I'll make some revert flashables for people that don't like new test builds. I don't want 500000000 posts of flash this revert to get cm9 working. If you need what that revert has fine just don't direct everyone to only do it your way.

    This is a beta development project. I will be experimenting and breaking perfectly good stuff to find better setups. By the time I'm done cm9 will be close to perfect.
