Marked improvement in performance for me using the alpha 2. No lag is present stock, no settings have been changed and it's working like it is supposed to. Great job..I'd be satisfied if this is all we get at this point!

CM team cannot hear you over the sound of how awesome they are..

EDIT: The artifacts that were previously produced while entering/exiting the app drawer have been fixed too FYI, it was never listed as an official bug, and I never confirmed if it was ROM or Kernel related, but after flashing this new alpha, and after flashing my previous kernel on top, the artifacts are no longer being produced. This suggests it was ROM related and now fixed ;)

Thanks!

+1 on the overall smoothness of A2. Only gripe I have is the Japanese IME. I can't for the life of me find where it is to uninstall it. I've check both system and data /app. Maybe I'm blind? Lol

Edit: After some research, I finally found it. For anyone else looking to delete it, it's OpenWnn.apk in system/app

Can't thank the devs enough for their efforts on CM9 - really nice - AWESOME!

---------- Post added at 03:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

you won't regret switching to CM 9 - so far ahead of CM7 - in my opinion anyway - no comparison. Come on in - the water's fine!

---------- Post added at 03:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

Never - I did a full wipe the first time I flashed CM 9 - but on the various updates, I have only wiped cache and delvick - no problems at all. (Others have posted the same with similar, positive results)

[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
I did a fresh install of A2 this morning. Formatted data, system, boot, cache and wiped dalvik cache. Installed A2 and the new gapps. Everything seems much snappier and smooth. My only issue is getting 100 MHz to stick. I changed governor to interactivex but as soon as I leave the performance sectio , the minimum goes back to 200. Has anyone actually gotten 100 to stick on A2? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dev997:
alpha 2 is amazing !!

After couple of hours testing out the new alpha , I can surely state that it has improved a lot in terms of battery , performance and overall smoothness.

-I am particualy smitten by the full-on functionality of camera. now able to change resolutions and camcoder works well too. Slight problem with playback in color saturation levels and frames chopping off here n there. But hey , its still an alpha !!

-bettery life has improved by a mile. getting 1-2% drain during deep sleep even when my epic is OC'ed to 1.5 with GPU upto 300 (particular for playing GTA3).

In simple words , absolute awesomeness.

-the only issue that really bugs me for now is applications remaining in cached memory even when I come out of'em and kinda slowing it down eventually. have to use task killer to kill'em every few mins.Any suggestions on this ?

EPIC TIMEZZ !!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] djjroc007:
Charged to 100% and left unplugged over night while connected to wifi. Not too bad. Better than alpha 1 for sure, but not as good as miui was for me. Usually, I can go to work for eight hours and come home at about 20-30% after leaving it unplugged over night, so we shall see. Nice job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
I did a nandroid and then just installed Alpha 2 straight over the top without doing anything. No wipes, nothing. I notice no issues other than listed bugs. Great release!

Did a clean wipe and install of A2. Everything seems awesome so far. Running pretty smoothly

4G toggle works great

Bluetooth for me will still get stuck when transitioning from one song to another on any music program (almost like an old record getting stuck, only fix is to keep pausing and unpausing until the song starts)

This ROM is smooth and just so intuitive. I can't go back to Gingerbread anymore but I love CM9! Awesome job you guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:

Sadly it seems like the auto rotation problem hasn't been fixed. Screen will only turn when the keyboard is slid out.

Although the camera app does seem to recognize the rotation sensor. The buttons and the preview screen will rotate with the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Good day everyone, I have a couple of questions regarding this ROM if someone wouldn't mind helping out.

HISTORY: Currently rocking the Clean GB MTD EL30 ROM, latest version.

FUTURE: I would like to try this ROM out after reading a few things about it.

1) Can I just flash it as instructed. ie: Do I have to ODIN back to stock?

2) Can I use LauncherPro Plus with this ?

3) If for some reason I would like to go back to let's say another ROM, can I just flash the new ROM via CWM or is there another way?

Thank you in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RealTic:
You can flash this over any rom and vice versa. However, your can only do this if it is an mtd rom. You can't flash a bml rom over an mtd rom. If you ever plan on going back to bml you will have to odin and select the re partition option.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luckymoney718:
I wiped and flash but I notice my baseband says EC05 , when I was already on EL30
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
So, if I understand you correctly, since I'm on a MTD, ROM, I can flash CM9 no problem and if need be, I can flash back to other MTD ROMS? Thanks again!

[Epic 4G Android Development] bohiti:
I can report that isn't the case for everyone. I haven't paid too much attention to the rotation issues discussions, and haven't taken any special action because I simply haven't had issues. No custom kernel, just stock cm9 (alpha0, to 1, to 2 just wiping cache not data in between.)

I can tell you that auto-rotation works as I'd expect in both the xda app and chrome, (and presumably anything else), without opening the keyboard. Not sure what would lead to people having different experiences.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Just find the temp cwm5 bml flashable then find the ec05 to el30 modem and flash that and you'll be fine.

If you want 100mhz to work, dont try to set it to 100. Just leave the default at 200 and don't check the box to set on boot. Trying to force it to 100 causes it to get stuck at 200

I was plagued with the auto rotation problem could not get it to work even odin back to stock, re rooted and flashed fresh with no corrections. I then tried something and voila my auto rotation started to work. Now i don't know if it was luck or what I did actually resolved the issue. I am not posting the steps just in case it was just luck. I mentioned this several days ago and asked if anyone wanted to try my method and see if it works for them. Then I would share the steps. 3 people PM me I gave them the instructions and haven't heard back from them. Either it worked or it didn't, or they bricked their phones

:-) either way if anyone is comfortable flashing back and forth between roms and wants to test my theory and get back to me just let me know.

Just flashed Alpha 2 after a full wipe. Advanced restored the data. For the most part everything runs fine and looks right.

2 minor things that aren't working like they did before:

1. I'm unable to get the persistent search bar to appear at the top of the home screen. I tried unchecking the box and re-checking it.

2. I can't get the app drawer to transition from apps > widgets when scrolling. Also tried turning this off and back on.

I suppose I may need to do a complete wipe and start fresh, but hoping to get this going without doing that.

Decided to give this a go again last night when A2 was released and run it for a while. When A0 first hit I had to dump it after a few hours due to bat life issues....no such problem this time.

Like everyone else I'm loving it. The quality of ICS voice commands and dictation are particularly amazing. 16x better than Gingerbread. Now actually useful and usable (Siri quality). Thanks guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TeMpTiN:
There are multiple auto rotation settings.

For apps check box is under

System settings > display

Or use the widget in curtain

For home screens

System settings > launcher

At least that's how it works on my phone.

Perhaps that will help some who have not tried all the settings yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TeMpTiN:
I was running through the settings again this morning and noticed my screen getting warm. It did not get as hot as it did on alpha 1 but was still noticeably warm.

I have turned off auto brightness and so far that has temps back to normal even after heavy screen use. I will continue running with manual brightness and report back if things heat up again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
After flashing Alpha 2, my audio call quality has definitely improved. So far no audio distortions or echoes. I'm quite satisfied with progress so far...how's everyone else's audio quality after A2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
As much as I hate to say it, because I love getting flash happy with faster updates, from a dev perspective weeklies much be SO SO SO much better for trying to work out problems.

The CM7 thread is the effing wild west. Some people flash the newest ASAP, others flash every 3, others stay on nightly 19 because they're convinced they get another 6 minutes out of the battery. Between the constant new roms, the wipe/restore processes, and the kernels/mods, no two phones are probably even alike over there.

Weekly builds, IMO, will really help find/fix actual issues.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Lord Syrics Jr.:
I don't think its been spoken of, and its most likely bc I'm on shadow kernel with voodoo color.

But, I noticed that when I turn the screen on for a millisecond its got a green hue that you can see instantly flash away and normal color is resumed.

Its not causing any problems (that I know of) I was just curious if anyone else is seeing this.

Again, (before i get flamed) I'd like to think and would not be surprised if it is because of voodoo color and gamma settings.

Thanks guys

[Epic 4G Android Development] MajicManDroid:
Did some checking and found the gallery2.apk is in the Alpha2 zip and gallerygoogle.apk was part of the gapps-ics-20111230.zip. My guess is that alpha 2 backed up your gapps including gallerygoogle.apk while installing. I wiped data and formatted system before installing Alpha2 and gapps-ics-20120201.zip so there were no gapps to backup and thus I never saw the 2nd gallery. Hope this helps!

TL;DR: delete or freeze GalleryGoogle.apk.

Hey Devs!

This ROM is shockingly good, you guys have come such a long way! I thought I would load up alpha2 just to look around and go back to CM7 nightly 40 but damn! I think I need to stay with 9. It's just too slick. Thanks as always for all the hard work.

Issues as I see them, nothing major or pressing:

email app is pretty basic, missing a lot of tweaks. would the old email work if I pasted the apk in? I prefer the white font on black background and teh colored indicators identifying each account.

No HBO GO, but I have faith, and know it will be functional at some point.

Can you believe it? That's all I found. I am sure that others are better at finding problems than I am. Market FC'd once, ADW Launcher FC'd once but I was loading all my apps from scratch. That is bound to happen.

Thanks again Devs, you're rocking it now. My phone is good till the quad cores become reasonable.

Me either.. I think it was just my mistake, what makes it come up is touching the screen even if the slider is open. if you just start typing on the HW keyboard the screen keyboard does not come up, but if you touch the area you are going to start typing the screen keyboard comes up if the slider is out or not.
