Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Lol

Is the kswapd0 fix something in the kernel or in the system? Just wondering if this fix will need to be added to third party kernels or if i will be able to keep a third party kernel or conversely just stick with the stock one until new kernels address it?

Battery drain coming from clean gb mtd it's killing me, lucky to get 24 hours with everything off and sleeping the entire time.

That sucks I'm hoping the newest alpha will fix the cell signal waking my phone up in the middle of the night :( I turned airplane mode on last night and there was no cpu awake usually I just turn data off but that didn't prove enough.

I have a noob question....

how exactly do you kill apps using cm9? Do you have to go into settings-applications-running? Im so use to holding the home key down and pulling up task manager to kill apps and clear RAM.

Is there a quicker way to kill apps and clear RAM?

Thanks....

--Also---

If I wanted to install a cm9 theme... do I install it the same way as If I was on a BML or MTD ROM?

Clear cache, dalvik, mount system, install theme, unmount system, reset phone?

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.

Go to settings>Developer Options> and check kill app back button down at the bottum. Will allow you to hold the back button to kill an active app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
You can set up to long press the back button to kill app after your done using it.

Menu> System Settings > Developer options> Check the box that says " Kill app back button" (it's at the bottom)

as far as theme's idk I don't deal with those.

They die. Though since android is a tricky beast, they might fall back to services, restart, etc.

Also, albeit anecdotically, small sample size, and ripe for the placebo effect, I've noticed my phone speeding up as I swipe things off there.

GPS and Chrome work well!

Had some good and positive experience with two items... GPS is fast to lock and accurate when I used Navigation home last night. No problems at all! This is on the default kernel included with Alpha 1.

Chrome Beta installed without a hitch and is fast, fast, fast! Has Dolphin beat by a longshot!

On an interesting note, I installed Speaktoit Assistant (beginnings of Siri for Android) and went up against my son with his 4S and asked "where am I?" I got a very precise answer. Siri, however thought we were 1 street away. Win for Android!

[Epic 4G Android Development] DonToolBag:
Just chiming in that this ROM has been rock solid for me. Only one crash when exiting out of "AlarmDroid". Other than that, hasn't crashed again. (So, could have been the app. itself.)

This ROM is more stable than most others I have tried. A lot of people do backups to their system, and that's all fine. But I usually prefer a clean wipe and re-install of apps from the Market. I don't know if it really yields better results or not, but it has worked well for me. (And a full Google re-sync, only do this on wifi, doesn't take long.)

Thanks again to the CM team. I am still amazed that our phone got ported to ICS and it's soo stable. I can't * wait * for the future and final builds.

Edit: I am experiencing problems with video recording (as previously documented). Just an FYI.

there's a feature in ICS to take almost instant pictures... but it won't focus if it does. (i beileve) i just took a million pictures at the giants parade today and they were pretty damn sharp. used the 2 stage button though
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ultro:
I can also confirm its works as a daily. Have used it since its release, and the only thing thats not up to par with Gingerbread ROMs is the battery life. Mind you, I'm currently on the Shadow Kernel. Only ran the stock kernel for 4 days before switching, and couldn't tell that one was better than the other.
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
Correct me if I'm wrong but killing apps doesn't really free up RAM as frequently killing apps just makes android cache the app for later use. Thus using up the same amount of RAM in cache form instead of active app form. Why not just tweak androids RAM settings so that it frees up the RAM for you when it gets low. Galaxy tuner was able to do this but it doesn't appear to work on CM9. However there is another app Autokiller Memory Optimizer. Despite the name this is not a task killer. It allows you to set preset value options or manually set values to those android RAM settings. So for instance hidden apps could be set to something like when free RAM is lower than 50MB free up RAM from hidden apps. I'm still experimenting with the values to get a good balance between performance and impact on my usage style.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
No that is only correct for apps that want to reload into memory like Maps. But say an app like Sprint Football can be killed and any cache will be cleared. There are still many poorly written apps that do not release memory just because you closed the program. These benefit you in speed by clearing the RAM they are holding.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
I found that a combo of Tortel ported TW task manager, Memory booster lite, occ. running App2SD (clears multiple app caches) works well enough for my needs
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobulus:
Gave alpha1 a try. Really great work guys! It's amazing how much progress you've made on this thing. I'll probably be returning to it, very soon.

...but for now, I'm rolling back to one of the gingerbread roms. I use the play/pause button my BT headphones dozens of times throughout my workday, and having that not work is a deal-breaker for me. Sorry. :(

(Well, that and both times I took it off the charger, it rebooted on me, something it doesn't do on Gingerbread, so I don't think it's the cord as mentioned earlier in the thread)
[Epic 4G Android Development] InhumanElmo:
I have a BT audio headset and track skipping and play/pause works for me great. Been running alpha 1 for a couple of days now and I haven't really had any issues. The things broken are things I either barely use or don't use so CM9 has been my daily and I have been loving it!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobulus:
Don't know what to tell you. Started with a fresh install of Alpha1, didn't put any custom kernels on or anything. Paired my BT headphones with the phone.

- Unlike old roms, CM9 did not receive a 'name' from the headphones (Motorola S305). Not a big deal, just renamed it by hand.

- Verified that it was connecting in both 'phone' and 'media' mode.

- Using with Google Listen, for reference.

- Fast Forward / Rewind worked just fine.

- Hitting the Play/Pause button would generate the noise for play/pause, which the headphones won't do if they're just connected in 'phone' (not media) mode, but nothing happens.

So there's some bug there somewhere. The phone seems to be receiving the signal, but isn't passing it to the program, or something.

Which app were your headphones working with? I can double-check that it's not a weird Listen eccentricity.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Strange, I can confirm after 28 mins up I've been at 100mhz for 4:52

Edit: I should add I also I also set it to 100mhz in voltage control as well and set it to apply at boot. I have no idea if this is what makes it stick.

Edit2: after a reboot it seems I am again stuck at 200mhz.. However, I did take a CPU spy screen shot with 11+ minutes at 100Mhz
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
I've been having off-and-on luck with Bluetooth in my car. I had to freeze the Music app to make my preferred app work (this was the case with Gingerbread too, though). I use Mort Player for audio books and it has settings to make itself the preferred app for headphones, but the default Music app still wanted to be The One. Even now I have to make sure I turn on my phone's screen and its Bluetooth before turning on the car stereo. Sometimes I have to hit play in the app itself before the play/pause works from the car stereo.

It's become this little ritual I perform every time I get in the car. Half of it is probably superstition, actually. :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Silpher:
So far no problems, and actually fixed an issue I've been having since switching from Froyo to Gingerbread, on everything from freshly-Odin'd stock, to various ROMs from the XDA community: Whenever listening to an audio file, on Google Music (both the stock, local player as well as the cloud player) or PowerAmp, when the data connection would change sources (3g to 4g, 3g to wifi, 4g to 3g, etc) the sound would stutter for a few seconds and then start playing again. Well, I just drove twenty minutes with Google Navigation on (GPS locked almost instantly) and listening to a 3 hour dj mix via Google Music (in the cloud, so it was downloading the whole time) and only heard about two audio skips the whole trip! None of the usual spots on my drive (it's my commute, so I know the bad spots well) caused any problems.

hmm..here's a strange little bug-

with the headphones plugged in, when you press the app drawer button the headphones hiss like they are about to play a sound..or are playing a sound, that it is just silent static??

No problems running 1200mhz so far..don't go 14 with the Shuriken ICS build

EDIT: This hiss actually happens when hitting ANY button, any time nearly in the menu, on the phone..it seems to initialize the audio output and it also seems to create a noticeable yet minuscule lag when pressing buttons to transition the screen (screen transition also has sound effect capabilities?) "Swoosh swoosh"?

EDIT 2: Despite the hiss, I was able to open up pandora, and then in a browser window open a youtube video and play them simultaneously..multitasking FTW!! lol Voodoo sound makes it worth it..so far nothing glitchiing bad enough to scare me away :)
