[Epic 4G Android Development] adjmcloon:
Is anyone else having problems connecting to the exchange email server? I was able to get my account to stick once but I flashed back to different roms a couple times and can never get past the username/server screen. I double check the settings but still no luck, connects just fine on CM7. Also sorry if this has already been reported but I noticed the keyboard backlight flashes on and off when the keypad is left open and the screen is off.

I noticed I had to set up my gmail account first before I could set up Exchange. If I did it the other way around it would only allow me to set up Exchange accounts after the 1st one was set up.

And I guess I should have RTFM with regard to Alpha 2:

Coming soon in CM9 alpha2 for Epic 4G

Currently CM9 does not do nightly or weekly builds. We will release new builds of CM9 for Epic 4G when there are worthwhile fixes or feature improvements and we are reasonably satisfied with stability testing. Do not ask when alpha2 will be released. It will be released when it is ready.

Fixes Coming Soon in CM9 alpha2

4G wimax curtain toggle. (If it doesn't appear automatically, you may need to manually configure it in Settings > System > Notification drawer > Widget buttons > Toggle WiMAX.)

Video recording longer than 1:45min retains A/V sync.

"Call has been lost." popup no longer occurs on a far-end call hangup.

libaudio ported from crespo (Nexus S), resolves audio distortion during phone calls and improves Bluetooth audio quality.

Re-enable SEC_ADJUST_LMK in kernel to fix the low memory killer. (A problem where kswapd0 goes crazy, needlessly consuming cpu, killing performance and wasting battery.)

Backup and restore existing gapps while flashing CM9 update.zip. (So you do not need to reflash gapps-ics anymore. Highly recommended that you upgrade to the new gapps-ics-20120201.)

Other News

Broken Facebook Sync, Stop Blaming Google. I see people in the forums blaming Google for the broken Facebook sync in CM9. I don't know for sure, but I suspect it really is that

Facebook did not update their app for ICS compatibility yet.

Stop Restoring Backups of App Data. CM9 natively has almost zero Force Close crashes. Many reports of app crashes in the forums are the result of restoring old, incompatible app data. In some cases restored data causes MMS to fail. Start fresh with CM9 to maximize your experience. Use AppBak, SMS Backup and Restore, and Call Logs Backup and Restore from the Market to cleanly reinstall most of your apps with fresh data, then restore your SMS and Call history.

Stop Blaming CM9 for Problems caused by other Kernels or Overclocking. I frequently see people complaining about weird issues and crashes on CM9 when they are using non-standard kernels, overclocking or undervolting. If you are using non-standard kernels and experience an issue, please verify that the bug really does occur on the CM9 official kernel before you blame CM9. If it happens only in the non-standard kernel, please complain to that kernel's author in order to avoid confusing the CM9 community.
