Would that really work? Hey Biggaron, if i were to do this, would you be willing to test it for me?

Seems to bring in issues when I do that, I was looking to swap kernels

I made an update zip, just left it on my laptop.

With a zip I can flash and test a lot easier than constantly flashing everything

Just flashed this. Surprised how fast the flash process was going from BML to MTD. So smooth! Gallery kept crashing (just closed no FC). Other than that it was running great. Looking forward to alpha 2. Went back to sleeperRom for now but definitely keeping this on my radar. Thanks for the hard work CM team! You guys are proving this phone to be a true flagship phone unlike sprint. Keep it up guys!

"Unfortunately, e-mail has closed." CONSTANTLY! What am I doing wrong? I can't get into individual accounts and I can't empty the trashcan. How can I fix this issue? It doesn't appear that anyone else has it. I have 5 POP3 accounts set up, as I have since last year when I got the phone. It's only with CM9 that I can't open, read and delete my e-mail.

Don't know if anybody tried this but I was able to restore my apps with astro file manager and data with titanium backup. Hope it helps. Just to be sure its not my phone there's no wireless or wired tether yet on cm9? Thanks in advanced.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Can I just say that I got a pretty good chuckle the one or two times I got the "Unfortunately, X has closed" message.

It almost rivals the time I was writing a macro in Excel & "CATASTROPHIC ERROR" popped up.

Now to be on topic. Perhaps you have some data corruption or permissions snafu. Have you tried clearing data & setting up e-mail again? And if that doesn't work, "fixing permissions" is always worth a try.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

Most have reported success restoring apps with this or that app, but restoring data has had mixed results.

I will say, that the first time I flashed CM9, I forgot to wipe my CM7 data. It booted and all, but it was all sorts of laggy =]
[Epic 4G Android Development] newbieandroid:
There is tethering under the option "More" under the wireless and network settings. Wired tether doesn't work but you can use the hotspot option with 4g.

Well I spent all night last night trying to learn how to send the vm clear formatted SMS and found an app that does it windows mobile called hush SMS. But seems like android doesn't allow it. So today I see this discussion and I tried deleting the PNG and that works but force closes phone. I replaced with a 1x1 transparent PNG and it works well. For hiding the icon but the notification still exists of course. And there is a bigger blank space than just 1x1 but at least it isn't staring at you all the time

There'a an MMS reference in CM9 Status (update 02/02) that mentions data as a potential culprit in these instances, see description under 'Release Notes' ...........CM9 Status link on OP.

Gotta say I am more impressed with this rom every day. I had never used cyanogeMod before and am amazed what I was missing. Several of my mp3's which had never played right on any version of stock or TW rom now play as good or better than that fruit device I had several years ago. Now it was only 4 very old AAD songs but annoying and they play flawlessly under CM9.

I've been 5 day now no FC's , no major problems. I started using Exdialer today so I could have speed dial back.

Thanks again for great rom

Donated thru Paypal (no place for suggestions there) just keep working on battery life thx
[Epic 4G Android Development] DriemMastR:
I'm surprised to hear about all the battery issues... I used to get eight to ten hours standby, and since switching to CM based roms I get almost 24 hours with standard use. A huge jump to say the least.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adjmcloon:
If you're getting force closes and crashes, just make sure you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache in CWM before flashing CM9. I have had no crashes or FC's since doing that. Also I noticed I needed to set up my gmail account BEFORE setting up my work Exchange account to get email to play nicely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
Nothing beats the "Should not happen" error I've seen on Mac OSX.

Back on topic, so far so good on this one. I can say that I'm still experiencing the "paper cup" voice on calls, but it's not terrible. I switched to Handcent because stock MMS wouldn't even let me open the app. Handcent works great though, plus I'm digging that I can customize the layout, color, etc. Too bad default is iPhone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
Been running for a couple days and I'm keeping it lol

Mms works over wifi when using Handcent (though not when roaming for whatever reason)

Haven't had random reboots (though I'm using stock kernel so that might be the reason)

Wired tether works with third party app

4g is stable

Wifi stays connected (although I notice the slow reaction time lol)

And my favorite...I forgot I haven't installed a 3rd party browser....ics browser lives up to its reputation lol

There's a few bugs but they're easy to pick out, replicate, and fix.

I wouldn't use this if you get upset at every little thing that's wrong
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
I am pretty happy with CM9 thus far. Battery life, while not as good as it was on CM7, is on par with most TW roms. Nearly all apps work, HW acceleration is great, like the new interface... definitely an improvement. My only issues are non-working proximity sensor, inability to get autorotation to work (no matter what combination of toggles I tried), persistent ringing when another call comes in (not as loud as CM7). I wiped data before flashing CM7 so don't think it's data corruption... Will donate tonight.

What about the time my windows task manager froze trying to force close an app and gave me the error "Windows problem reporting is not responding" then asked if i wanted to report the problem..and promptly froze again lol

On topic, been using this for the time it's been out, just flashed samurai kernel, clocking to 14 is stable, 15 still results in freeze up, otherwise so far the only thing complaint worthy seems to be the sms has lag from time to time, my wife's messages were coming in 1/4, 3/4, 2/4, 1/2, 4/4, 2/2..made them very hard to comprehend lol but only a problem when she is blowing me up

Installing Aps

I restored my back up for Marcussant's Revival so I could update my PRL - and when I attempted to restore my backup to CM9 I got stuck in a boot loop.

I didn't have any problems going back and forth between CM7 and other MTD Roms before I flashed CM9 and I am wondering if anyone else has had success doing it with CM9? Any special steps necessary? I tried it twice and both times I could restore the MTD ROM - but when I tried to restore CM9 - I got boot loops - I ended up having to do a full, fresh install.

(second question - is there an easier way to update PRL than going back to an MTD rom? I thought I saw a post mentioning some simple steps but I can't find it - anyone?)

I go between my backups of sleeper and cm9 daily....
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeblock:
Ok, I was wrong both times... I don't know what causes it, but I have noticed that when the bars on my signal icon are blue, tether works. When they are grey, it doesn't. Says 3g still, makes the indicator of moving data, but nothing. And it isnt a hotspot issue, its system wide... When the bars go grey, NO data moves...

Toggling Airplane works once in awhile, as well as locking then unlocking the screen. Those failing, a reboot fixes it.

Still whining about DDTM, too. LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I believe when they go grey,they have gone into a sleep mode. Either turning an app that needs data connection on or toggling the airplane mode on and off seems to awaken the data connection.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
Sounds like it could be a signal issue, though I have noticed bugginess in the icons too, yet mine will say there is no signal and have signal fine- I also see that iff data and wifi are on at the same time, neither seems to work- you have to pick which one you are using- another buggy issue I found, was using wifi and pandora kept telling me no data connection..turned wifi off and data on and pandora worked- seemed it was demanding a data connection, even though wifi was connected and browsing fine..

Have you another sprint (or whatever carrier you are using) phone (preferably another epic) around that you can test when this issue happens? I have my wife's epic here and can verify if it is signal-related issues or rom-related when I am having data problems..so far it's usually been just a loss of signal- reboot usually fixes it for me.

Hello friends. I have searched and googled and checked the cm9 status page ... I'm at a loss.

I can't find the microphone button for voice to text. I have screwed around with the keyboard. I seem to be stumped.

Where is it? Help?

Edit ... just found that it's not available as demoed on nexus. Forget it... thanks. Thought I was going crazy
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeblock:
I tried several pages using Dolphin, and nothing moved. I also tried toggling airplane mode three or four times, with no change. But I did notice earlier this evening that they were grey when I noticed no status clock on the lock-screen. When I unlocked the screen to see if it was just hiding the **** (being redundant on the lock-screen, good idea), the clock reappeared (naturally) and the bars went blue. Slight alpha glitch maybe?

Thats just it though, it shows a signal, just with grey bars. I have to look close, but they are there, and indicates a 3g connection. The little arrows even appear (grey) like it is moving data, but no dice. Sadly, no, I wish I had another Epic to test with, but this is my sole connection to the outside world...

PS: Gonna run the DDTM thing to death... hehe

[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
I only have one app (FuelLog) that I need to restore data from a backup after I wipe data. I'm not sure about games since I have them but don't really play them LOL. The few other apps that have data stored store it on the SD card that appears to be distinctly different and separate from the data thing that gets wiped when wiping data from CWM and what not. I'm not sure how that differs from how the data is stored in the area that gets wipe when wiping data.

Is this something the CM team(s) can integrate back in? The facebook app asked me if I wanted to sync and I did so as I have in the past but it doesn't look like it synce and is not listed in sync as it has been in the past. I'm not keen on using up storage space to use a 3rd party app just to get the stuff synced.

I've never had this happen. Not even after flashing CM9 on mine. Though that would be nice to have. It is somewhat annoying to install all my apps one by one after wiping. Though now that it is not necessary wipe as frequently it's not as big deal.

What do you mean by app switcher? I didn't think there was one and only the recently use app list you get when long pressing the home button. For me the one thing I'm still somewhat annoyed with is switching apps. I know if you want to leave an app "open" you hit the home button and pick the next app you want to open. But it always seems as if the app was closed. For example the page I was viewing in the browser is gone and I have to browse back to it. Or google docs I have to scroll back to the top of my docs and click the edit button again. Offhand I can't think of others but there are others that are similar. I was going to add deeper thoughts but don't want to muddy the thread too much. I was thinking reading your post that perhaps all this time using android I completely missed something.

Not voice search but voice to text like in the mms app for example

Google voice search does that. You tell it to send a text to someone, it opens your SMS and then you say what you want it transcribes it into the text and you just hit send.

I can not get my phone to rotate the screen at all. Only when keyboard opens will it rotate. My wife's epic works perfect mine doesn't respond. :( Anyone, anyone at all who has any suggestions please throw them out, been knocking myself senseless trying to figure it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
Several people have had this issue, but we have yet to find out how to fix it. It's very strange as it is only affecting a select number of people (as you noticed w/ your wife's working). I have tried odining to stock and going all through the process back to CM9 and that didn't work.

For now, I have turned off all the auto-rotate check boxes so now my keyboard fully controls the rotation (as opposed to when auto-rotate is marked as on, it will not rotate back to portrait without turning the screen off).

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
So anyone who has experienced this has not been able to correct? Has anyone on the team mentioned anything regarding this weird phenomena?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
For the Build.prop, you just add the line at the bottom using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and reboot (there are plenty of tutorials on build.prop editing if you have trouble). If you reflash, you'll have to edit the file again.

I am using a third party keyboard, maybe that is why I don't see it (I have the stock one uninstalled, so I can't test it)

Attached is how my inputs are set up, only one is checked.. Otherwise I'll get the input notification.

Edit: Actually from Googling a bit, it seems that uninstalling the stock keyboard and using a third party keyboard is exactly how you can disable the notification. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MajicManDroid:
See how your check boxes are lit up? Mine are grayed out, i wonder if its because i have swype flashed in as a system app. I guess I'll have to delete the stock keyboard apk and see if that helps but i cant help but think that this may break something.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Yeah, I don't think it will let you disable the stock keyboard. You'll have to use Titanium Backup or something similar to remove the stock keyboard (freezing it might work too).

I had a very similar problem a few days ago. Could not get a data connection at all, either 3G or WiFi. Tested the signal on my tablet, and it worked fine. So, after toggling everything and many reboot later, I flashed Alpha 0. My signal was working just fine after that. Stayed on Alpha 0 for about 12 hours. When i got to work, I decided to take a shot. Booted into recovery, did a clean wipe (cache and dalvik). Reflashed Alpha 1 and I have not had a problem since. Been about 3 days now and this ROM is impressing me everyday!!! The devs are amazing for getting ICS so soon...my dad is jealous (wants me to root andCM9 his tablet...LOL)

For guys with auto rotation issue...make sure its turned on everywhere, then make sure the rotation toggle is in the status bar. If it is, then toggle it. Should start working.

To those wondering about the "Input Notification" it only shows up if you have 2 or more keyboards checked for use. if not, then there is no reason for it to be there. Just know that it is pretty much the only way to quickly change keyboards in CM9/ICS.
