I glad you guys get to taste ICS!! Can you guys also use the soft button from Galaxy Nexus on this Rom? Like we have on the Nexus S4G we disable the 4 hardware button & use the software ones that are on the GNex its written in Android 4.0 code so guess its up to a dev to implement it!

2) No kies air or samsung apps on CM9? I mean, these are samsung devices...not sure why they don't work on CM builds. Any way to get around this?

3) How do you access task manager? Long press on the home button brings up a view of recently used apps.

That's the ICS task manager. Swiping any of the recently used apps kills them.

MMC_Delayed_Work wake lock

Just a question - has anyone with the "mmc_delayed_work" wake locks ever tried to move all apps back to phone. From the research I've done, this has something to do with the sd-card.

Even on cm7, (also on cm9) I was getting major drain from this wake lock and I attributed it to a poorly written app. Once I moved all apps off the sd-card I never got this wake lock.

I'm too lazy to go through my apps one by one and figure out which one is the culprit, but this may help others getting the same wake lock... thoughts?

Id say you go and ask in that thread now, but I could help you out, if your friend is on the ECO5 modem then you can grab the EL30 modem delta file found in the stickies somewhere I'm not exactly sure where they are sorry I'm on my phone. But you flash that in Clockwork. It won't unroot the phone

MTD is an open source partition map BML is the stock closed source partition map. MTD is optimal for more space on /Data.

Yes go the MTD route just know that if you ever wish to go back to BML(highly unlikely) your going to have to Odin.

Something else to try for the mmc_delayed lock issue. If your using BW (Beautiful Widgets) or any similar app temporarily (with widgets) remove it temporarily.

Ok, so alpha3 is out and I can't install it. The installation is always aborted. I wiped data, cache and Dalvik cache and it still won't work. Anyone else getting the same problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrishighs:
Yes but you will lose the kernel I believe and end with the stock CM9 kernel (which works just fine for me). If you want the third party kernel back you will need to reflash it.

I have no issues with exchange on the inbuilt client, but I only tested it for about 20 seconds before restoring Touchdown, mentioned above. Touchdown is flawless, and well worth the money as a full featured exchange client.

Bad download. Just re-download it and it should work. I don't get why people just don't check the md5 sum before flashing so they know whether it'll work or not...? (Not directed just at you, but others that have been in your situation as well).

The stock charger is a .7 amp charger as well. That being said, whenever I've had issues with the charge notifications showing up, it was a bad cable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
Yeah I think its specific to the stock email app, which I prefer over using a 3rd party app. I know it works, it just is really hard getting it to connect. Hopefully this issue will be addressed soon.

For those who have mmc_delayed_work issues something that may help is going into adb or terminal and from there (as root) run lsof | grep sdcard .

For example my output:

shell@android:/ # lsof | grep sdcard
com.alpho 5938 app_83 47 ??? ??? ??? ??? /mnt/sdcard/pulse/catalogImageCache/journal
sh 6363 shell cwd ??? ??? ??? ??? /mnt/sdcard

Note that pulse seems to be holding open some ImageCache even though I have pulse background updates disabled. I killed the services in under manage apps and giving it a shot to see if that is my culprit.

If anyone else finds something using this method please post it so we can share a list of apps that may be causing this.

Couple of bugs I noticed:

I still had to FC the contacts twice today when I tried to dial a number.

I put a call on hold to answer an incoming call, couldn't switch between calls. I ended one call and both disconnected.

Same wake_lock issues others have reported.

Got one phantom ring when a new call was coming in. One and done, went away and never came back.

One question, is it better for battery life to have "auto brightness" or is it better to set the brightness low (20%) and leave it?

[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
It's not that it's impossible.... it's just that Samsung designed it that way, for whatever reason.

We tend to just use their source code and trust it as fact. It's hard without hardware documents to say otherwise.

Maybe the hardware support isn't there for it. Or maybe they designed it that way for other reasons. I do know when the kernel was developed for my old HTC Vogue (from scratch), sleep during charging was implemented.

Well if you think about it, how can a device be fully asleep while its charging? Even when its off it technically isnt asleep because something is powering it in order for it to well, gain power.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Jinded:
Thanks for the reply. But even if the Bluetooth is connected to both phone and media the issue still occurs. Anybody have a way to fix this without having to make a phone call or rebooting?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
Don't be silly. Deep Sleep in developer terms is a system power state (C-state). It's a bit more than that, really. In normal power saving mechanisms the processor clock speed and voltage are reduced. In deep sleep everything is shut off. The GPU is halted or powered down. This can't be normally done on-the-fly, because these parts take a while to re-initialize (a while as in... 50ms which is an eternity in processor time).

Anyway, I looked a the kernel just now.

The device stays awake as far as I can tell because Samsung doesn't actually use a stand-alone charge regulator. They actually have a separate chip, the Maxim 17040, which reads and translates the battery charge state, and different chip, Maxim 8998, which handles the power circuitry and charging.

This is odd, because most devices employ a dedicated charge regulator which handles all the charging and then triggers an interrupt when the battery is full.

I don't know why the 2 chip design was employed, but it essentially means the device must stay awake to monitor the battery state and shut off the charging.

Of course, this was only from looking at our kernel for 10 minutes.
