[ROM] CM9 alpha 2.0 is out

Martimus · Feb 22, 2012

Well... just as quickly as Dalingrin released CM9 Alpha 1.0 , he's now released CM9 Alpha 2.0.

It looks like the major changes with this release are video playback related. He indicates that they've fixed playback issues with Netflix and other apps that utilize live http streaming. They also indicate fixing blocky video due to bad scaling...

Awesome. This makes me want to switch from CM7 to CM9.

meggiedude · Feb 22, 2012

Jeez, Can't keep pace with these developments.

Excellent work from the Devs.

I suspect the camera/mic issue will take a lot longer to fix mind.

colchiro · Feb 22, 2012

Oh yeah it will.

I see no reason to upgrade unless you watch videos.... I don't. I'll update when I get bored.

jericko · Feb 22, 2012

If you install Alpha 2.0, do you still need to edit that file to get video playback working?

bioforce · Feb 22, 2012

Dang, I'm literallly just now installing alpha1. Guess I should have checked for updates first...

Nevermind....need to learn to read.

Oops, I didn't scroll down the list far enough... sorry for the double post.

colchiro · Feb 23, 2012

It was quite a way down the page.

NBD, I've done that before in the DroidX forum.

meggiedude · Feb 24, 2012

Baaah, Two days have gone by and no Alpha 3.
I am disappointed.
The Devs have set the bar a little high lol.

Flash works. I watched a 30 minute Flash video this morning.
Netflix works too. I watched a 2 hour movie last night.

Problems for me is wifi is unpredictable after it goes to sleep or non-usage.
However, it worked great during that 2 hours I watched a netflix movie.

Flash works on mine.

I just downloaded Flash and Adobe Air off the Market and everything works. Running Alpha 1 btw.

jericko · Feb 26, 2012

If you are upgrading from .6, do you need to wipe or can you just flash overtop?

colchiro · Feb 26, 2012

For any rom upgrade (same rom, newer version) installed via CWM recovery:

Format cache (mounts menu) and clear Dalvik cache (advanced menu) should suffice unless it's specified otherwise.

If you use Acme Installer2, it'll take care of it for you.

jericko · Feb 26, 2012

If you flash the Change LCD density to 120, what does that do, and does it break the google market?

colchiro · Feb 26, 2012

Don't do it. Market should still work with standard dpi like 120 or 160 (160 is stock and preferred).

Instead just install LCD Density Modder. Free version lets you change to any number. I run 132 dpi, but purchased the Pro version yesterday so I can install the modded market.

jericko · Feb 26, 2012

Thanks for the helo colchiro! I just upgraded both my wife's (.5) and my (.6) to A2.0 and the thing I noticed the most was the LCD is ALLOT more responsive to touch.

Also, I missed seeing the battery %, but I found these flashable zips:

0-100% Battery Mods for CM9A2 - 2/25 - RootzWiki

colchiro · Feb 26, 2012

Bear in mind, installing one mod often negates another mod.

I REALLY like this mod, but it removes the battery mod (which they intend to add): [MOD] [PORT] WebCM9 0.2 - WebOS-like app switcher [2/24/12] [CM9A2] - RootzWiki

toomuchgame441 · Feb 26, 2012

Alpha 2 is working great and as others have pointed out to me, Flash is working near flawlessly on this build, everything just works... I'm digging my two in one tablet.

TimmyB44 · Feb 27, 2012

After much help from our good friend, Colchiro, I have 2.0 up and running on my touchpad. However, after the initial setup, which worked great in pulling in all my apps, etc., from my google account, my wifi does not seem to be working. If I boot into webOS, it works fine. If I boot into 2.0, it SAYS it is working (finds my home network, connects to it), but if I try anything network related, it cannot do it. Browser says no internet connection, setting up another email account fails (immediately), etc. I have tried turning wifi off, then back on, watching it connect to my home network and then, showing solid signal strength. Am I doing something wrong, or are others having this issue? (I did a search before posting, and found nothing like this, so that's why I am posting this.)
