I want to expand on the GPS issues that it seems other people are having, because I have been dealing with it all day. Some programs will just say that it can't find my location, like Yelp and News & Weather. In Google Maps it says that I need to check my location settings and enable everything, but everything is checked in location settings. Eventually, Google Maps and Nav will find your location, but it takes minutes, and it keeps telling me that the location services aren't fully selected. I remember before I used to have to go into advanced settings to do that, but it seems with ICS those settings are all listed in the Locations section. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm surprised that it hasn't been brought up more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fastmikey1969:
They fixed a location bug in alpha 1 you can try that.

Running for 8 hours now. Noticed video in stock app and in 2 other market apps doesn't playback audio with the video. Anyone else found that issue?

Checked music player and I do have audio through that. Headphone and built in speakers don't output on video files still.

Edit: solved. I had some movies in the default "movie" folder on my sd card. Moved them to the "media" folder and audio worked just fine. Using MX Video player with much success. Not exactly sure why they wouldn't play audio because of the file location, but whatever...

very nice and beautiful rom but 3g does not roam... so im going to flash something else let me know when you guys get the 3g working for non sprint carriers
[Epic 4G Android Development] neuton:
A quick question, I was trying to watch a YouTube video on the app version and I saw some tearing and out of sync on audio, is that something to do with some codecs or video files missing in the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
We will let you know...

Hold your breath until uberpenguin sends you a pm..he will make sure you are personally informed when it is ready to your specifications. That is his job anyway, he has nothing better to do :P

Hey, anyone else notice that the screens are resisting transitioning? It's like a spring holding it in place, i think it's about to transition and it pops right back..intermittent though, 1 in ever 15 transitions, but sometimes it does it 3 or 4 times in a row. I tried with all three kernels, so it is rom related..minor bug btw not complaining just a heads up and wondering if anyone else experienced it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] certifiednoob:

thanx for the info... i too had that experience... i rebooted then it was fine for a few hours than it would go back at it again for a little bit

Hey kenny, I was having the same problem. You have to keep playing with it. I was able to get it working by only changing one value at a time and then saving. Also, leave the network prefix length at 24.

I noticed this as well. Minor, but definitely a bug.

I will take noob questions over pettiness any day. At least with noob questions an answer may help some other noob, while pettiness just makes the poster look, well, petty.

On another note..... Is there an easy way to flash back to the Kernel in this build, if I want to check out the other Kernels, but decide I want to return to this kernel after doing so?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
+1 on the noob question

on the kernel, I download the one I want to use. I copy the zip to a new filename; in this case perhaps cm9-stock-kernel.zip. I open that zip with 7zip and then open the cm9 rom zip with 7zip. Then copy the zImage file from the cm9 rom zip to the new cm9-stock-kernel.zip overwritting the zImage file in it.

That gives you a flashable zip with the kernel that came with the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TeMpTiN:
I assume you would have to re-flash the rom and gapps. I do not believe the the team has posted a separate "stock" kernel zip

Edit: See above post for better answer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
Pull it from CM9 and place it in an update.zip. Could use the update.zip from the kernel your trying.

I've checked auto-rotate screen in Launcher settings, Display settings and Accessibility settings. Is there a fourth check box somewhere? The phone just doesn't seem to recognize it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:

Basically it said to turn off the sounds for the touch screen and stuff, I will see if I can find the thread....

Noticed this also: The screen will rotate when I slide out the keyboard. However, it will not rotate back once I close it. It'll only fix itself once I turn off the screen and turn it back on.

Yeah it looks like they fixed location services, scrolling through cwm and something else. Runs great just like the previous. Check out the status link in the op for what was updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
Exact same here. I've actually now turned off auto rotate. At least now when I close the keyboard in apps it'll go back to portrait. Hoping auto-rotate will start working in a future release (for the relatively few affected by this issue), but for now this works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bradbutter:
does this wipe everything again when you update or can i just flash over like in CM7?
[Epic 4G Android Development] marioc21:
I just installed over top of previous alpha. Everything worked just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] roguejam:
If you go to Settings -> More (under Wireless & Networks) -> Mobile Networks, I take it you have "Data roaming" checked? I was able to roam just fine yesterday.

[Epic 4G Android Development] DonToolBag:
Quick question, is there any order reccomended to flash the kernel before/after the rom?

Also, is it reccomended to flash gapps right after flashing the ROM? Or reboot and come back into Recovery? My apologies if this has already been answered. (I didn't see it.)

Thanks! Looking forward to this. Don't even want to wait for a beta with all of this positive feedback!

[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
IF you want to flash a kernel, and it's not necessary, you have to flash it AFTER the rom, otherwise the one in the rom will replace the one you just flashed.

ROM, GAPPS, KERNEL (ROM, KERNEL, GAPPS will work, but in this case GAPPS is the more vital one, so get in that habit.) I flashed with no reboot. (And I think that might be important. I think booting with no gapps does bad things.)

Just wanted to thank the devs. Awesome work im left speechlesss by this rom...might be last im backing this bad boy up!!! installation was a breeze to. thanks again epic ftw!!!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I'm sorry for the incredibly nub question... but I'm currently running the debloated Sprint EL30 rom, and my file system is formatted RFS.

Does this rom change the file system to another structure, such as EXT4?

If so, would I be able to flash back to the EL30 mod rom if I didn't want to stick with this one? Or would I need to ODIN from stock build?

Most importantly... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLVED!!! Holy smokes never thought I'd see ICS on this phone!!! :love:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fester9977:
First I just want to say my hat is off to you guys, is thing is second to none. I am very happy with the alpha build and will be sticking with this.

I am wondering if anyone else is seeing a drop off or inconsistency of speed with the using hotspot / wifitether/ wired tether and the CM9 build? I live in a place that has no high speed (no dsl / cable) internet options other then using my epic so speed is something i need and I am always looking to improve. Any solutions or ideas?

[Epic 4G Android Development] dev997:
Awesomeness redifined !!!! Kudos !!!

First of all, KUDOS to all devs(EpicCM team) involved in the development of this much-awaited ROM. you have done a remarkable job here....

I have tested CM9 (both alpha 0 and 1) for last 2 days and got very few force closes and freeze ups. Absolutely adore the ICS experience though. I have found that having custom kernels (Shadow as well as Samurai's) does'nt have much improvement though, even on OC.

Few things that I'd like to point out though :

1. Manual Dialling freezes too often or responds very slowly.

2. data profile broke up. I am using Epic outside US (in India) and have reprogrammed radio using CDMA WS. It works on all roms except cm based (MIUI, CM7 and CM9).

Can someone throw some light how to get it working. I see that UTIL setting (*#*#8778#*#* are screwed here as both UART and USB are set to PDA which is not right as per my undertstanding). Also MSL code doesn't get accepted , gived Modem Error !!!

So , I had to revert back to stock/deodexed El30. Missing CM9 already :(

EPIC TIMEZZZZ

It converts you to MTD and if you want to go back to stock you would have to Odin unless you want to flash the CleanGB MTD ROM.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
I flashed over CM7 without wiping and only had a couple force closes but clearing the app data fixed it. Again, YMMV. just make sure you backup before trying.

I cannot see myself going back to CM7 unless I find some extremely egregious bug that I just can't live with.

I'm seriously thrilled that we have an ICS build as well developed as this one is already and can't wait for more releases to sand off those rough edges!

No, I am having battery issues as well. Cm7 got fantastic life for me (after wifi sleep fix), so I am a sad puppy.

Not really sure what it is, but I lost 50% just sitting overnight. Full signal, data off, wifi off. It was in deep sleep for most of the time, but I had a few significant wakelocks

Audioout_1 was on for 8 minutes

Connectivity services had 1000+ counts

Alarm manager had 1000+ counts and 2 min awake despite no alarms being set

Gps location provider 300+ counts, 2 min (maybe ill turn gps off before bed)

[Epic 4G Android Development] djmeph:
I hope that the devs might have some insight into this problem I am having. I live in Detroit, and our 3G and 4G speeds are both abysmal. However, they were a lot worse on stock Froyo than they were on CM7. Now that I have upgraded to CM9, my 4G speeds are back to where they were at Froyo. I also noticed that the 4G signal was a lot weaker on stock Froyo and on CM9 than they were with CM7. Hopefully this is some insight that can help improve 4G service with future builds of CM9.

Average Speeds on stock Froyo and CM9: 3G (<100K down/<50K up) 4G: (500K down/300K up)

Average Speeds on CM7: 3G (300K down/300K up) 4G (2000K down/500K up)

Scrolling in CWM - fixed or not?

The changlog says that Scrolling on SD Card in CWM was fixed http://epiccm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-status.html- but I am still having issues -when I boot into recovery and go to "install from SD Card" my screen opens and anything on my card below 'tsmaddogins Lock Mods Flash" for EI22 cannot be seen If I scroll up or down, it doesnt matter - it acts like that is the last item on my card and there are at least 10 more files below it that should be there - (they are there if I go into file explorer after booting my phone) - While the screen scrolling does appear a little different than it was before I flashed the update - I am still having issues with being able to see everything on my SD Card when it comes time to flash - is there something else I need to do that I missed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coycaine:
I didn't have to do anything special to get the scrolling in CWM to stick. Maybe it was just a bad flash. Try flashing alpha 1 again and see if it sticks?
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
warning when coming from non MTD rom to this one...

One thing to note when flashing this rom and are not already on MTD, when I flashed this it converted me to MTD and installed the ROM but then automatically rebooted out of CWM and started booting up the ROM before I even had a chance to flash GAPPS. I ended up pulling the battery and booting back into CWM, then I reflashed the ROM and this time it stayed in CWM so i could flash GAPPS.

Only thing I can think of is it acted differently because I wasn't already on MTD but who knows... love this ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coycaine:
When I have been on a non-mtd rom and flashed an mtd version, CWM always reboots at the "Checking state of bml/mtd" stage...I believe this is when it is actually flashing the new compatible recovery, thats why it reboots. It is not rebooting the entire phone, just the recovery. I think?!?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Toast95135:
When you first change to MTD it'll do a reboot, after that it wont.
