How to clear frequent call list.

Just tried this with great results:

Do a recent backup with the calllogsbackupapp, clear data from contacts storage (manage apps,All apps, Contact storage, clear data) Then restore call log via the app. DONE

Got rid of the frequent call list for me but still have my call log :D

Make sure your google sync is on or you do a contact backup because this might delete your contacts as well

Lock Slider Applications

Trying to figure out why I can't add Messaging to the lock screen slider. The CM9 beta3 changelog showed this capability (screenshot attached), but the Messaging application does not appear in the list of available apps. Haven't been able to find a solution thus far anywhere.
[Epic 4G General] tazfanatic:
edit didn't read the full question only part of it at first:

you have to click on applications it is listed in there at least for me then you click the icon that looks like a floppy disk in the bottom right hand corner of the screen this saves it
[Epic 4G General] korollyn9776:
Problem is that I can't add it. It's not in the list of available apps for me to add it to the slider shortcuts.

If I recall correctly with CM7, having voodoo sound made some mic feedback happen(And some type of whistle). That's why it was taken off. Not sure if that's still the reason or what.

Edit:

To go back on topic, quick tip. When you're changing the volume with the hardware buttons, you can actually slide the volume slider to change the volume without having press the hardware buttons multiple times to get to the desired volume.

Both of you need to run the 3g turbocharger script by zeeplin rox when I was in San Antonio I flashed ei22 and was getting .06 mbs :eek: then ran the script and got a hefty 1.3mbs :D
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
I was going to run it, but didn't know if it would work in any measurable way in cm9, it really didn't make a difference in cm7...

Edit: Tried it, if anything it made it worse... Max 100 kbps... horrible...

Edit2: When I connect to 4g, do a couple of speed tests (and marvel), then disconnect from 4g to do another 3g test it worked great 600kbps, I am not sure if it is correctly stating that it is on 3g and not 1x...?
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
That's weird what's your normal? I usually get 1.8 mbs but can live with 1.5..... note this is with my 2-4 bars.... also what option did you run I know that 5 eperiemental 1 is the almost the best for me also you need to reboot I hope that you did ;)

[Epic 4G General] saramon:
For this time of day, it is usually really really low, I might get 2-300 kb, or lower. I was lucky to break 100 today, some were as low as 12... which I thought a bit extreme

After I toggled 4g though, I am getting 6 to 700, which is fantastic

[Epic 4G General] iTbagdUrMac:
Here is some webOS type stuff I have stumbled on in cm9 so far.

In the stock browser, press the window button(top right). Once your browser windows(cards) appear you can close them with the "x" OR if your screen is horizontal swipe it up to close, and if the screen is vertical swipe it off the screen to the left to close that window. Very "webOS-ish".

The other webOS-ish thing is swiping your notifications off of the status bar. I think that one has been previously mentioned.
[Epic 4G General] JojoSteez:
Same with holding the home button. It brings up recently used "cards" and you can swipe them off the screen to get rid of them. I do miss webOS but am very happy with my switch to android.
[Epic 4G General] Ezalis:
With the stock launcher you can combine icons on the homescreen by dropping them on top of one another. The pro tip here is to do that on the dock icons as well.
[Epic 4G General] iTbagdUrMac:
I knew about the home button but didn't know you could swipe them, thanks!

It has been 2 years since I used webOS but I still miss some of the UI. I would like swipe delete in the email app...
[Epic 4G General] JojoSteez:
Yeah, it's been almost 2 years for me too. I got the Epic on release day. I do miss some of the UI, but i prefer android now. the swiping on everything I do miss. The quick way of switching apps is what I miss the most. It's not hard on android (hold home, scroll, switch) but webOS made it so quick and easy. Just swipe up from gesture area, and hit the app you want to go to. It also made it easy to tell exactly what apps are running.
[Epic 4G General] lilxflip:
would deleting the telephony.db file fix the problem?
[Epic 4G General] Coycaine:
You can give it a shot. You can make a backup of the file if you want, but it is not necessary. I am having trouble sending mms over wifi, but it did not help me.

[Epic 4G General] gooch1025:
I've tried doing this with shadow kernel but it doesn't support voodoo sound. We'll probably just have to wait till the next version comes out.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Voodoo sound has not been incorporated until they check out the improved drivers that came with the EL30 update that was supposed to eliminate the mic squeeling. So just give it a little time. Maybe if someone knows a good equalizer to use, it would help.

Google Voice Widgets

As long as I've been using it, there have been 2 widgets available for google voice. One labeled Google Voice Inbox which was 2x1 and one labeled Google Voice which was bigger and showed your account balance and other stuff.

Now on CM9, all I see is the bigger one. I've installed it fresh from the market and also from my CM7 backup, but I still don't get the smaller one.

Any ideas where it went or how to get it back? It fit so nicely on a screen with my TweetDeck column. :(

Hows the camera and video camera on CM9?

I have all of the issues other users have brought up previously on the latest cm7 nightly and more (tearing in videos, plus my camera launches with a black screen until i flip back and forth between camera and video, and after taking a picture it often freezes).
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:

[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
It seems as though its broke on all the cm9 kernels at the moment... I'm sure it will be figured out soon...
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I havent had any issues with the Camera (except the changing from 5mp bug listed in the issues)

I was able to take a bunch of pics, zoom in and out, and take panoramas as well. Overall, I would say the camera is good to go (given I have never changed the MP off 5 since I got my Epic, and its set to that as default)

As to video, what do people mean by "tearing" and "artifacts"?

Given this is really the first time I have used CM beyond installing for a few hours to check it out, I keep finding new menu items to play with.

I really like the long press on the home key that brings up the app list where you can swipe to get rid of app. Is this clearing them from RAM, like killing them with task manager did?

I got face unlock to work, the hardest part being getting it to find my face to begin with. It helped make it work when I added a bunch of face pics
[Epic 4G General] K3VlN:
Tearing and artifacts: when you take a vid and replay it it will become digitized with pretty green and sometimes blue colors and also the tearing is almost like a lag in the video where the image stops and seems to tear when it catches up. Everything else with the cam is fine actually i have noticed that some of my pics come out looking cleaner and more clear than they ever did

[Epic 4G General] OperationMove:
First off I'd like to say this thread is a great idea. I definitely learned some things and I thought I knew most of what there was to know. Many of you might know all these, but since it's a tips thread for people that might not be familiar, I'll add them anyways.

In developer options, there is a checkbox labeled "Kill app back button" that you can use to bind long-press back button to kill the currently running app. I find this useful in many situations when I know I'm in a pesky app that doesn't like to exit.

In interface>system settings you can change the default phone size. I changed this immediately to small myself, but I would've thought this would be in display options. I actually stumbled upon it just looking around.

Well, not really a tip, but worth mentioning... Alot of awesome live wallpapers that used to lag down homescreens badly now run nice and smooth (on ADW and trebuchet) thanks to hardware acceleration. So if you ever stopped using one because it lagged your scrolling down, give it another try. :D
