when you select an email in the email app, it highlights it but overlapps the top part, as in the screenshot? it happens in the gallery app too when selecting a picture.
Confirmed to be in 2.7 too. But I'm not sure if it's just a feature/theme-thing or not.

yeah wasnt sure if it was a design feature or not but it looks untidy
Just to add that Ive played about with dpi. default is 240. ive tried going higher and lower than that. still the same result.
Lockscreen issue
Whenever I unlock my phone, I press the power button and the screen will flash for a second as if it was unlocked, then it will go to the lockscreen. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the same happens when I press the home button to unlock the phone.
Has anyone experienced that and / or would know how to fix it?

So since I flashed XXLP2 on my I9100 the home button doesnt work and I cant bring up task manager.
Also when I hold down the power button I dont get the meny showing 3G and silent mode etc. Instead it just turns off.
Anyway I can fix this?
same issue here too. And even the lockscreens won't work.
i did not find any solution so far.

I find it really weird because I've seen videos/reviews of XXLP2 and they have no problem with it what so ever.
It makes me think that I flashed it wrong even though I followed the instructions closely.

I have flashed Lotta roms.so that's not an issue.but in this case I tried 2 roms and the result is the same. I guess this rom is just another buggy test release.

Issue fixed.
The home button not working and missing lockscreen bugs are fixed by adding a file named 'keystr' under efs/imei folder.
refer this thread for more information.

Hey guys!
In CM7, when I hit the Ace's power button, it ends the call. I don't want this, I want the good old turn-off screen, like on stock roms. I searched everywhere and I didn't found any option to change this.
Can someone point me what can I do?
Thanks!
Setting/call setting and tick on always use proximity

I don't think the setting for the power button is in Accessibility on CM, try looking around the CM menu, I think that's where it is.

There are a few different variations of CM, and the one I used to have (I think it's the one by vo-1) had that setting in the CM menu.

cm7 power button ends call in galaxy ace
I switched over to cm7 on my galaxy ace a week ago. Its very frustrating that the power button ends the call, i always disabled the proximity sensor in stock firmware and kinda used to that.
everytime i try to turn the screen off in a call, it actually ends the call. There is no option in accessibility settings to prevent power button from ending the call (screenshots attached)
I also downloaded an app phone settings manager and that too has no effect.
please help!
Same as here. Using CM7 from vo-1. I think that I'll switch to the one provided by FAT. Can someone confirm if it has that option in Accessibility?
This is what I have. Apart being in portugese, of course.
you can download "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
this is what I did.
so when someone calls. press the home button to go to your home screen then click the shortcut you have or if not go to your app drawer and press it to turn off your screen.
I'm using go launcher so I set the application to be activated when I glide down my finger in my home screen.

Nah, too much trouble. I want it more simple, like it was on stock. And it has to be somewhere on the settings, maybe I'm just not finding it.

I've used Grif's CM7 and in that ROM, POWER BUTTON ENDS CALL option was in Accessibility only
I don't think that I'll need this anymore. Yesterday I was using the phone when I needed to hang-up the call, and it was right in front of me, so I didn't needed to power-on screen, unlock it and then hang-up. I just hit the power-button and done!
Also, I think that I can live with the screen-delay to power-off.

Whatsapp vibration pattern
Can anyone tell me if theres an app to increase the intensity of vibration if we get a message on whatsapp? I have to keep my phone on vibration in class and always miss out on the messages as the vibration intensity is too low.
I figured how to change it for gmail and sms through an app but how can i change it for other apps like whatsapp?

Hahahaha, yeah, 5 mins after I posted this I noticed that this "feature" might be useful
Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.
As you may know, all ICS stock based roms for Samgung Galaxy 2 have one common and very unpleasant feature - a home button delay. This delay is noticeable every time you press home button to exit an application, return back from settings to dashboard or if you want to return to your home screen. As a result you may have a feeling that your phone response after clicking a home button is delayed app. 1s and it will degrade overall phone responsivness.
For demonstration of a problem see this video.
Finally the fix is here and you may enjoy it on your Galaxy S2 with the newest miuiandroid 2.8.17 rom with integrated 3-way Reboot options from kong. It is not tested on another miui releases, but probably could work.
Installation:
Just install the zip in cwm recovery and you are good to go.
If you enjoy my work you may consider a small donation to support my further development.
Note: This will NOT fix lockscreen lag, it is present because your cpu is in powersaving mode and takes some time to utilize again.
Please do not copy this patch to another hosts, always use a link to this forum instead.
I'm not responsible for any problems or data corruption you may have using this patch. For your safety always backup your rom before doing any modifications.
I'm keen to try this but scared it messes something up Any lab rats willing to test it first?

Did you patch it correctly in cwm recovery? This is the problem, see video here
If you apply it correctly it will remove this delay completely and if you press home button the phone reacts immediately. Check if you have 3 way reboot option. If not a patch has not been applied...

Faulty? It should be ok, maybe it is kernel problem. What kernel do you use? I use syiah and no problems. Does the updater throws any error during flash?
Edit: I have double checked and reverted back changes and apply this fix again and it works just fine.

Ah, then it's clear Back buton is not affected because phone doesn't wait for second click. I'm use home button pretty often ant it was very anoying for me

I know it won't work for back button, but I did try using the home button to see. Perhaps it is faster, but I just can't see it. It's probably because I use the back button so often.

If you have the patch applied there is no difference in speed between back and home button - and that's it! Now if you would flash unmodified rom you would see the difference between these two buttons very quickly
what is the process to remove this patch because I applied it and now my phone will not turn on passed the samsung logo?

It is a small issue caused by the HWComposer and is fixed in PAC rom. The issue is based on a commit that the Cyanogen guys maybe forgot to include in the buildbot's config. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-pac-nightlies-t2668572 .
