Really loving this, even in alpha this beats any of the stock releases hands-down in pretty much an y category. One question, I saw that a patch is being integrated to enable car dock and desk dock audio, any ETA on this? Thanks to all the devs working on this awesome ROM!

I think I screwed up. Phone will not turn on at all. Not even Samsung logo

I was attempting to upgrade from ei22 to el30.

http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/02/el30-factory-firmware-image.html

Was following instructions, I think I screwed up because I already had a4 and I checked repartition. The install was successful, Odin said PASS and reset my phone but my phone never came on. I unplugged it, removed battery, turn it back on nothing. Hold down volume key and power, nothing. Hold down 1 key and power, nothing.

Help?

.....right, several changes as stated from EPIC CM blog, and now checking the new AdobeFlash_v11 w/ Chrome_beta, to see how these play w/ alpha5..............a bit hiccupy: time to tweak video ;)

CM9-Alpha 5

What a nice surprize to find CM9 Alpha 5 this morning - even better to see that fixes done have made Chrome work - I checked to see if the SD Card issues (lost ringtones) was in the change log - no news yet - but happily when I checked my ringtones everything was there - I suppose it's too much to hope that this means I won't have the mysteriously dissappearing ringtones problem any more - but who knows - maybe I will get lucky.

In any event, thanks again to the DEV TEAM for all their hard work - CM9 just keeps getting better and better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
It is. And FWIW, you didn't need to flash the whole TAR if you just wanted to upgrade your modem. If you did only flash the modem TAR and hit repartition, you now need to flash the full TAR with repartition checked.

The team is aware of the bug and is working on it, don't worry. And the support is appreciated. Enjoy alpha5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
i thought they were testing a fix for the sd card issue. figured it didn't work. i've been known to be wrong though
[Epic 4G Android Development] agentweez:
Yeah I only flashed the modem. Apparently I didnt need to repartition to just flash the modem, I guess. I'll take this to the other thread. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The team is continuing to work on that. It will come about - patience.

Something strange going on for me, when I flashed alpha 5 + gapps I got the on-screen versions of Back, Home, and Menu underneath my dock. Is there a setting somewhere to disable that?

Dunno if it could be related, but the gapps link took me to a google search for the new version, which I downloaded from goo inside me (CM 9 version made on 2/24). Md5 checked out though.

Edit: Ok.. I flashed it three times over and it went away. Some strange stuff, man, haha.

Does anyone know where to find a changlog for Gapps? nm http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Google_Apps
[Epic 4G Android Development] roguejam:
Alpha 5 working great so far!

Quick question, early on in CM9 (maybe to A3), there was an option to disable the boot animation. I believe it was in Dev Options. I don't recall seeing this in A4, though.

I'm not finding this anymore, and I did have mine set to disabled. Is this option still around to change? I would like to check out the new boot animation! Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] koop1955:
Install of Alpha 5 was smooth here also. Something must have gotten borked in an earlier install for me; I ended up doing a clean install rather that just a flash of Alpha 5 and GAPPS. I do like that clean install feel anyway.

Boot animation isn't that important to me, I don't see it that often. However it is nice to see it the first time.

Let me join the chorus thanking the CM9 Epic team.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Oh look imagine that alpha 5 released today end of the week?

i see that the mods removed some of the crap that was needed ot be removed but again my point is been proven.

Continue on......

Glad ya'll listened. BTW A5 New boot ani is very nice and an improvement overall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the devs. I am sometimes irreverent in the forums and sometimes I stray off topic but I want you to know that your efforts are much appreciated. You guys are wonderful and the service you provide to the Epic community is invaluable, and above and beyond. I just installed a5 and it is just so sweet. Another donation is forthcoming.

Of note, when clearing caches before unstall I noted about a ten second lag when choosing to clear Dalvik (first step, not the second). Just noticing, not complaining. Interesting, as Spock would say...
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
Out of curiosity is the new boot animation supposed to look like he video that was recently posted? Mine just starts up w the background rushing by. I thought it was the Android in the middle, then the arrow spins around and and moves to the background.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
If you look at the boot image in the alpha 5 rom they did not included the first part of the book image. Its starts halfway through. Either way it looks pretty sweet!

I do have a bit of a meta-question.

What is new about each gapps release for cm9? I don't need technical details, just the gist.

Is it mostly for compatibility with alpha releases? Or are there actual app updates going on for each one?

Hand delivered by Supercharged Epic CM9
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Hmm, no matter how many times I wipe then flash alpha 5 and gapps, I can't add my google account when it starts up. Just a clean install with no data restore. Any thoughts?

*edit* nevermind looks like a bad download. Redownloaded directly to the phone, re-wiped and flashed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
OK, I'm still a little new at this, but I would love an answer to this quick question: I just flashed Alpha 4 yesterday with the old Gapps. Now with today's releases, do I just simply flash them over 4 with no data and cache wipes? Sorry for the noob question.

I had this issue on a4 and still on a5.

I'm no longer running a 3rd party kernel. I have rescaned the sd with dev tools.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes. Like one update improved the Face Lock another was a Picasa update. I imagine if any of the system apps included are updated they also update the gapps for that.

I was quoting the person who said end of the week. In the US and most other countries, Sunday is the FIRST day of the week, not the last.

I have a question. Why does the calendar sync disappear with each gapps flash? Was it intentionally omitted? Each time, I have to pull it from my TB.

CM team can't host the gapps or directly affiliate with them from a legal standpoint so the google links to them is an open ended way to make sure people find the proper set of apps. :) As well as not have Google rain hell and legal documents on them lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Calendar? Really? Ever seen one?

And work week is relative - I've worked for companies that started their weeks on Sunday, Monday, Thursday or Friday, and my current job starts its week on Tuesday (the only day that hasn't been the start of my work week is Wednesday).

And terminology in American English is quite often misleading (or malformed because our society tends to invent words, often out of ignorance, lol). We park in driveways, drive on parkways, etc - need I go further? By that logic, one could almost argue that we call Saturday and Sunday the weekend because that's when the week begins ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
I think people including me were confused because Alpha 4 and everything before it, it was simple click 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and bam download starts. Wasn't explained before hand (for the slower non tech guru users) that the gapps download process has changed slightly for Alpha 5.

Unless you think outside the box a tiny bit you wouldn't of figured it out right away.

I was able to dl Google Maps direct from the Market over 3G with no issue

Not sure if it matters, but I am on the EI22 Modem

other notes of interest

So far so good. Was running Legenday RC 2.2 converted to MTD when I started the install.

I did a full wipe, then just 'cause I am me, flashed CM7 and booted it, all was good, then rewiped, flashed CM9 and booted it up

Signed into Google account, and went through the intro. Started dl'ing my apps from the market, and restoring data using TB.

GPS Status showed connected to 7 of 7 satellites, with a error of 4m

Phone worked, contacts synced

On the Video cam, when I tried recording, the focus adjusted while recording, and the contrast did as well. Did not try playback.

Camera worked ok, need to check quality, and panorama mode was really cool, cant wait to check it out in a place it is worth using.

After a dozen app restores, remembers I used the app "appbak", and it worked well to open the market to my apps, which was super cool! Did run across 3 apps that had been yanked off the market though, TB Rocks!!! ;)

As to CM9 on my Epic, ..... so far so good. :D

I really enjoy the slide off notifications, but some of the other new ICS stuff will take some getting used to, as I have been running ADW EX almost since I got my Epic.

Things that I noticed....

Themes show it is still under development

Camera freezes when I try to change off 5mp (listed in bugs), but as I have never done that, its kinda a non issue

I did notice a rotation lag once or twice, but I'm actually not that picky about that, though it happened at least 3 or 4 times where it was very noticeable

Overall, once the last of the video/camera bugs get worked out, this seems good enough for my daily driver.

I can't believe how well this works, and once the themes are available, I will be in LOVE with my Epic in a way I haven't been since I first got it, and was able to retire my Moment. WOOHOO!

BIG PROPS to the CM Development Team!

EDIT: WOW! Everyone else may know this, but it is AWESOME news to me!! When I went to set Google+ back up, there was an option to NOT sync all your Google+ people/circles to your phone's contacts! WOOHOO!!
