TXT is fine, you need to make sure that SU is enabled on the script (the little superuser logo, the android with crossbones). When you run it, it won't show much, but your colors should change.

I disabled voicemail notification and only use the 9016 text to show I have a voicemail. Don't clear voicemail data or it will not provision. You have to have it working and empty of voicemails on a TW ROM then save it with Titanium backup. Then restore it with data on CM9. Or just download Visual Voicemail Plus from the market.

[Epic 4G General] jeffro18:
I just bumped a thread in q&a with this info, but I'll put it here too. The app BT Mono works on cm9. This is an app that worked on froyo, but never on gb for the epic. It comes in handy if you want to listen to stereo audio through a standard mono bluetooth headset.

Edit: telenav 7 works for me. It never shows all of my favorites like telenav 6 did though. If i search them they will come up, but the list cuts off. This has happened on different roms as well.

Edit 2: logging in to telenav on my pc and setting up some categories fixed my favorites issue. Telenav 7 would cut the beginning and end of the favorites list off without them.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
A little tweak here:

Map search key to ICS recent apps - Nexus S

I downloaded the CM9 version, unzipped it, added .bak to the files to be replaced, copied the ones from the zip over and set the permissions/owner the same as the old files with Root Explorer.

Works great, I haven't noticed anything strange yet. :)

YMMV of course, be sure to back up just in case something breaks. :p

Maybe someone can figure out how to make it flashable for our CM9, I think it is supposed to be built from source. I tried editing the smali, but could not find the right lines. :)

Edit: The one for the Nexus S 4g might work as well, but I haven't tried it.
[Epic 4G General] a2tz:
My keyboard went away before......but after flashing alpha 2 and the tanto kernel....it is on until I hit back once. Annoying but liveable. Anyone have any thoughts? Just wipe and reflash I'm guessing would be the most simple fix

[Epic 4G General] HelloM0f0:
I don't think this was mentioned yet. So sorry off the bat if I overlooked it.

One of my minor annoyances with android (every version I've used) has been the slight stutter when the app drawer opens up. I hoped it wouldn't happen in ICS but it did for me. Every launcher did this and I was about to accept it as just an annoying thing that'll always happen...

Until I read somewhere on the Nexus S forums to disable joining the widget tab with the app tab in the drawer settings for trebuchet (and probably nova; not sure about apex or other stockish launchers). For me this is preferable and it's a setting I somehow overlooked, but it did the job and killed that micro-stutter.
[Epic 4G General] K3VlN:
good to know thanks...but on alpha 2 i havent had the micro sutters ive had them in previous ROMs but so far for me everything seems pretty smooth :D
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I never saw the stutter on Zeam I guess because it doesn't include widgets in the app drawer so that makes sense. Good scouting on the Nexus thread.
[Epic 4G General] tazfanatic:
If it doesn't happen on stock I would ask the maker of the kernel.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Important tip if you swap between CM9 and other ROMs and are using a 3rd party voicemail app....remember to cancel the call forwarding in that app if you will be using Sprint Voicemail on the other ROM.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
I see that there are barely any init.d scripts in cm9.. Could anyone recc. a few that will optimize the experience. I've seen in the evo forums, someone put together a collection of tweaks, reworked for their devices and made into a flashable zip.

AUTO ROTATION ISSUE:

I have a fix which I have shared with several people and 3 out 5 responded with positive results. It goes back to the days of flashing roms on eclair. You have to do a calibration on the phone and center it. You will need to flash a tw rom which allows you to calibrate the phone. At least one individual used the boot from sd card rom and it allowed for the calibration. CM9 does not offer the ability to do this. So essentially flash a tw rom run the calibration on the most evenly flat surface you can find. I ran it like three times. Make sure it auto rotates fine on the tw rom. Then re boot into recovery and flash a FRESH install not a nandroid backup, a clean fresh install of cm9 and you should be good. No guarantees but I shared this with people 3 reported it worked, one said it did not and one never replied. I'm sharing this because last week I was about to sling my phone against the wall, I flashed CM9 on 3 Epic's the other two where flawless mine would not rotate.
[Epic 4G General] K3VlN:
did you make sure to turn on auto rotation in the launcher settings menu?
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
Turn off WiFi Network Notification

This will stop CM9 from notifying you that there are open networks when wifi is on, also there is a toggle for when wi-fi should sleep.

You can increase the time between scans (to increase battery) by editing the value : wifi.supplicant_scan_interval in the system\build.prop file. CM9 already has it set to 20 seconds.

(thanks Biggoron and ryleinstl for reminding me of that; the mind is the first thing to go, lol)

Go to settings, wifi, press menu, press advanced.

Turn off Network notification, I have keep wifi on during sleep - only when plugged in.
[Epic 4G General] RyleyinSTL:
Actually I think all this does is turn of "Network notification" The phone will still search but will just stop telling you about it.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Correct you'd have to open the build.prop and edit the wifi scan interval to stretch out the time it scans for wifi connection.

Hey guys. 2 questions. The issue with 100 MHz no sticking...has anyone found a reason/solution? I just can't get it to stick at all. Question 2...audio out_1 wake lock. I keep seeing that it is just a matter of turning off all of the sounds, which I have done, but to no avail. My posts just keep getting blown over in the development thread, and I have yet to see Amy solid solutions. Hoping this crew can help!! On CM9 Alpha 2, stock kernel. I believe both of these issues are directly related to my awesomely crappy battery life. I have 5 hours since charge and I am down to 60% with about am hour of screen on time (mostly here on XDA). The other thing I have noticed with CM9 is my TWS is consistently hovering around 30% no matter what modem I am on. Significantly higher than on CM7. I have tried quite a few fresh installs, wiping boot, system, caches and data. I even used the SD card boot able stock and updated my profile and PRL. I am officially at a loss...
[Epic 4G General] Ragnar:
Lmao... I'm not laughing at you but if I had a dollar for every time someone suggested that I could of taken this week off of work. I appreciate your attempt at suggesting that but I am one that will not ask or say before searching or having attempted everything. The rotation issue is happening to a select few units. As I mentioned in flashed CM9 on 3 Epic's only one did not rotate. I looked through all the settings in fact there are 3 places where you can select auto rotate and there's a fourth option if you use the rotation toggle. Trust me even odin back to stock rerooted the phone and started fresh. I stumbled upon an old thread from back in the Eclair/Froyo days that this occurred with the calibration and people had to run a calibration prior to flashing a new rom.

I just wanted to say that I've been impressed with the CM9 Alpha releases. But I do have a tip.

Take the extra time and do as is stated in the op. Start from scratch...

From the begining I figured no problem I will just install CM9 over CM7 and if I have any problems I will just start from scratch. Well I didn't really see any problems except for:

1. At startup it would say Clock has stopped responding and I would have to close out a dialog.

2. The on screen keyboard would come up even when the slider was out.

3. Some lag when scrolling home screens.

4. Just the overall smoothness of the ROM.

I am guessing I should see better battery life as well. I will report back if I do.

Morale of the story is start fresh, take the extra time, and do it right.

More and more people are having success at correcting the autorotation with that work around, you can always advance restore your settings.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
To remove the "phantom" voicemail notification, Freeze and then Defrost [VOICEMAIL] Phone.4.0.3-eng... using Titanium Backup or similar. It should stick until you reboot.

I was trying to have a script run at boot like so:

pm disable com.android.phone
pm enable com.android.phone

But, I get a "Segmentation Fault" error when the command runs. :confused:
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Some have gotten rid of it by clearing data in phone which also sticks until reboot. So a script would be helpful for those tbob. I never got the phantom notification. I did get the sending notification when I cleared data and it tried to provision. I fixed that by restoring data with Titanium Backup.
[Epic 4G General] davidh59:
This seems to have solved the problem. Thanks Ed! What do you think is safe to restore in advanced restore?
[Epic 4G General] Ragnar:
I'm would use titbu to restore my aps without data. Then make sure all is great. Then restore data on apps that you absolutely must, if you don't have to don't do it. But restore data one at a time. Run the unit, everything OK then go to next one. That way if something wonky happens you know exactly what it was. Just go back and clear data for that app.
[Epic 4G General] davidh59:
Speed Dial

Best solution I have found for the lack of speed dial in the ICS dialer is to use the "direct dial" widget. You can set as many as you want and place them where convenient. I haven't tried but i'll bet you can even resize them. This might be better than speed dial.
[Epic 4G General] sco3tt:
For anyone else having the autorotate problem, I was able to fix it by doing a nandroid backup of CM9, installing CleanGB MTD to do the calibration, then restoring my CM9 nandroid backup. There was no need to do a complete fresh CM9 flash as has been recommended elsewhere (although I did do a full wipe at each stage), so also no need for TiB or reinstalls to get it back where I wanted it.

Also, just so no one else gets confused like I did the first time: Don't do the calibration upside-down as was mentioned in the CM7 lagfix thread. Just do it face-up on a level surface. If you do it upside-down it will still fix the autorotate in CM9 but you'll have to hold the phone up over your head to see it work. :)
[Epic 4G General] Ragnar:
Lol upside down? That was back in the days when the program only worked upside down. You are right about not having to do a clean install, you could do a nandroid back up but when I laid out my instructions I said to do a clean install because I have no idea what some users out there have done with their setup. Sometimes it's funny to read what some people try to load and restore. I was just trying to safeguard the fact that I knew the calibration fixed the rotation issue but didn't want anyone slamming me saying it didn't work because they had some crazy stuff added in
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I just tried this, and it seems to work well. I'm actually putting a few of them together to create a folder basically.

I find that the 4G to 3G switch off when you lose 4G actually works with CM9. Has not worked before for me in any TW ROM.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I also noticied that sometimes wifi and 4G upon the phone waking up show connected but are actually not. A quick toggle of wifi or 4G fixes that.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
So you won't be connected to data at all? That's no bueno. How did you figure it out if you weren't connected though it appeared you were?

Also, what do you have your wifi sleep policy set to? I originally had it set to 'never' but I heard that caused battery drain, though I didn't notice anything substantial. I now have it set to 'Only when plugged in'.

Some people have mentioned their phone won't jump back to 3G after turning wifi off. I forgot to turn my wifi off when I left home this morning, but on the way to work, checked my phone and 3G seemed to be connected just fine.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It is just a habit to toggle airplane mode when I hit XDA app and it says "no connection". It came right up after that. I have my wifi set to never sleep. I thought the potential drain was fixed in Alpha 2. Checking Betterbatterystats I don't have any serious drains listed in wakelocks however I only get like 3 1/4 hours deep sleep per 4 hours. Still not bad for an Alpha.
