a have this problem with EFS, since i flashed CM9:

http://pastebin.com/NQV3ExJj

somebody have it ?

Was CM9 your first ICS ROM? This is pretty typical for ICS unfortunately. If you have an old efs backup (as close as possible to when you got the phone) you can replace the files (and set the right permissions) and it should stop doing that. ICS doesn't play with efs as nice as GB did. There's another thread all about efs shenanigans; I don't have the link off hand.

Note: when you get to the step where it mentions ".nv_data.bin"; on the NS there's no '.' in front, so just "nv_data.bin"

Otherwise see thread for more info.

Geolocation Problem
Location does not exist

Happened after flashing the new gapps. And great i just deleted my latest back up (2days ago) while trying to clean space. Im guessing its gps problems. Any suggestions or solutions? Its my weather app using beautiful widgets thats having the problem.

Edit: currently using accuweather as my weather service but it works on the google service in weather settings.

This is the best my NS has ever worked.. Fast and no crashes at all!!! But there's two things I don't like, maybe they can be changed.
1. I would like the data arrows on the top that are now almost hidden in the signal.
2. When I use an app and close it on a page, then open it again later, it returns to last page i was on, not the starting page like it used to do...
I hope I'm making sense. I guess ICS changed the way apps work.

Settings for SetCPU if you need a performance and battery balance. Im using CM9 v7, Matr1x v19 cfs, latest gapps. Using a custom launcher with around 30 apps installed (all games and browsers..etc facebook, viber, angry birds...etc). wifi, 2g/3g on, deep idle off. Im at 50% right now with light use and thats awesome. 12 hrs already.

Main: 1000max 200min lulzactive, default values for governor and voltages.
Profile:
Screen off: 800max 200min interactivex Priority 60
Charging Any: 1460max 1200min performance Priority 50
Battery <20% 400max 200min interactivex Priority 40
Battery <50% 800max 200min interactivex Priority 30

You may want to stay away from using 100mhz during screen-off or screen-on states for three reasons 1) It seems 100 mhz uses more power than 200 mhz. According to tests, 100 mhz accounted to 1 W / GHz and 200 mhz to 0.7 W / GHz, when both the cores were online. 2) 200 mhz can finish same task faster compared 100 mhz and thus hit deep idle soon. 3) 200 mhz is the 'sweet spot' of frequency in SGS II. ie, the frequency used in the calculations based on the optimal energy to run (Ex: In Milestone it's 550 MHz). So , 'energetically efficient' frequency for our CPU is 200 mhz.

Anyone else have their preferred settings? Do put in mind that all phones are different and none are the same. This may work verywell for me but it may be completely different for you. Use Safemode in SetCPU help page http://www.setcpu.com/documentation.html#safe_mode. Also make a nandroid back up. I highly encourage you to play around with these settings to get the best out of your phone. BUT ONLY IF you do a nandroid back up and untick set on boot. Oh and there is no way you can really fck this up (mind the language) if you have nandroid backup, untick set on boot, safemode via SetCPU Page. If you get bootloops on a unstable frequency/voltage, just reflash your rom via recovery.

Safe Mode

If you're trying out new CPU speeds on an overclocked kernel or trying out new voltage settings, it's always a good idea to uncheck the Set on Boot checkboxes in the corresponding menus before doing so. This way, your phone will not boot loop if you get stuck on an unstable CPU frequency or voltage. To be safe, you can extract a Safe Mode update.zip to your SD card in the Main tab. Access the menu here, and press Safe Mode Instructions to do this. Flash the setcpu_safemode_toggle.zip file in recovery mode as a normal update.zip to recover if SetCPU causes your device to boot loop. Flash the zip again to toggle safe mode off. Alternatively, you can make a file called setcpu_safemode with no extension and place it on your SD card or internal storage, /data, or /data/local to active safe mode.

If you didn't get a chance to extract the safe mode zip, download the safe mode update.zip here. Flash it in recovery mode just like any other update.zip.

Then your EFS is fine don't touch it!

Unless your IMEI goes to 00xxx ignore anything in the log, it doesn't matter

Is this a common issue?
Blue signal bar on Wi-Fi
Gray signal bar on 3G

It started four or five days ago. I tried reflashing gapps, ROM, both or just one but I still get gray bar when on data. Is it my network provider ?
When on data, sync doesn't seem to work perfectly like push from Gmail. Last ROM I flashed and currently using is nightly 20120427 and 20120429 gapps :confused:

BE sure you're not using any 3th part data limiter as firewalls, etc. The grey color says data is connected, but somehow limited (protocols, address, ips etc)

Thanks for the quick response

The only data firewall app I'm using is Droidwall. I've always used it and I never had this before. I disabled it and signal bar still stays grayed out. It must be something else

    REPORT ISSUES ONLY IF:
    • You made a clean intall
    • You use the default kernel
    • You have not installed new framework
    • You have confirmed the issue is there with default CPU speed

    Take a look for those willing to restore bootanimation. That is the new bottanimation posted here ( sorry one of the users posted but not remember the nick "message me" ) and I added to recover for those who have selected no boot animation on previous versions: http://goo-inside.me/devs/kalimochoaz/Others/CM_Animation.zip flash it from recovery

    Q/A Post

    Q/A:

    I have an extrange green color at boot and when I have automatic brightness setted, what can I do:
    Go to crespo setting and change in gamma the values: ( by default values on google are 0,0,0 but I suggest you to explore the best you like) for me is:
    RED: 50
    GREEN: 46
    BLUE: 46

    How can I do to make a clean install?
    Read that post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20485148&postcount=146

    I have 2 times gallery app repeated and is buggy:
    Install again gapps. This happens because you updated and no installed gapps after installing.

    I need to go root with adb, but it doesn't work:
    adb root
    After you can type "adb remount" or simply "adb shell" and you are root.

    How can I do to enable KSM?:
    Settings -> performance -> Memory Management -> Kernel Samepage merging ( KSM )
    25
    Instructions for fresh install

    In order to ensure your install is 100% fresh make sure you follow the following steps exactly:

    • Reboot into Recovery
    • Wipe data/factory reset
    • Wipe cache partition
    • Mounts and storage -> format /system
    • Then flash the Android ROM
    • Then flash Gapps

    I flashed nightly 0520 and noticed there wasn't any Facebook sync/errors out. Anyone else notice that? Just curious.

    Also, kalim, where's 8.0?

    my computer is broken. I'm waiting for a new one in order to prepare a new release. I hope soon we will have that v8.
