Nope, removing the stock keyboard is fine. I removed both the IME files and the system works fine. However i still get the keyboard selector in the notification area. I don't mind it though. I have Swype and the Lastpass keyboard installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] InhumanElmo:
So I went back to cm9. Just replaced the gallery with quickpic and no more crashes that way. For an alpha this ROM is pretty damn good. I've had some issues with some games (but they were said to have issues with ICS) but overall its amazing. I haven't had any of the rotation issues mentioned running stock kernel. I did encounter the "feedback" issue as far as voice quality. Person I was talking to said I sounded like I was in a car.

Edit: There is also some audio feedback through headphones when the volume is all the way up. (Not blowing out my ears, just bose headphones need to be blown all the way up.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] offtohavasu:
Is your Vlingo listening over Bluetooth or just the speakerphone?

Yea, that's a feature. If you have a lock pattern or anything, you can't do it tho. So if you don't like it, just put a pass code on.

I'm getting tremendous battery drain!
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
freeze drm, dsp, gallery and see if that makes a difference. also turn off all audible touch sounds. in addition you can charge your phone while its off, boot back up, charge to 100, power down, charge to 100 and you should have decent battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iatedeadpeople:
Yes, it is a bug that I'm sure is being worked on. I can't wait til its fixed, but this is definitely still my daily.

I don't think this is correct. As I inderstood it Blue bars means you are connected to google services. Grey means you are not but you should still have full access.

Has anyone with connection issues tried SetDNS? I use it and have perfect connection no matter what. Even with grey bars the browser works.

[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
I've talked to several people and no one had any solution. Every single time it was the same suggestion and I got tired of confirming the boxes are checked and then getting no follow up response, so I gave up.

I'd be happy to work with a dev to try and figure out why my phone and others' are not auto rotating, but it seems no one believes the issue could be caused by anything but having the boxes unchecked.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Well I second this!!! This is not my first go round, and I am somewhat experienced on phones, roms etc..... I have never had something like this beat me before. I think like yourself I have done everything even odin back to stock and starting fresh. I am starting to think it is a hardware issue not a software issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeblock:
First time ever for me. And it seems to be related to the soft keyboard vanishing when sliding the hard keyboard. Rotates fine otherwise. Everything is fine, I open the slider to type my text or whatever, close the slider, and its stuck in landscape. The only way to unstick it is to click home (I have Zeam launcher set to NOT rotate, so it forces it back to portrait). Once I do that, it rotates fine for me again...

Again: DDTM: So I can use wifi tether after a call interruption without rebooting. Its consistant, 12 times solid today... Simple, no call interruption, no tether crapping out... Call while tethering: crapping.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
This is working great! Looking forward to more features being added by the CM9 team and bug fixes for the epic. So glad I decided to pick up this phone and port it to Virgin Mobile.

Okay, in all honesty, this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! This runs smoother than I expected it to be. I will definitely be donating in a few weeks! Thanks for not giving up guys!

[Epic 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
Is everybody restoring back to cm7 or something?? I honestly love this rom enough to keep it lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] jct522:
This is a beautiful ROM! Just flashed it and have been playing around with it. It's like a brand new phone. Everything is so different and I love it. For an alpha release this thing is unbelievable. As long as I can make a call, send a text and have a stable wifi I can live with the other quirky things for the time being. I might have to just stay on this and live with all the bugs because i dont know if i want to go back. Thanks again CM9 team! Thank you for making my phone interesting again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Keeping it. I made sure the alarm worked and all the other basics for me. Its really great. I am not going back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
Cool man!! Great to hear that I'm not the only one
[Epic 4G Android Development] JojoSteez:
Same here. Only problems I am having so far is Tasker keeps FCing on me. I heavily rely on Tasker for a lot. And for some reason when using Launcherpro, as soon as I add the calendar widget, LP FCs. All the other widgets work, but just that one kills LP.

Still, I'm gonna keep it and hope some updates come soon. I can live without those things for a bit. I just really don't want to go back to gingerbread now, lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Running great.. gets laggy at times but nothing that clearing the ram doesn't fix! Looking good devs keep up the awesome work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coycaine:
The few bugs that are showing themselves are far out-weighed by the Ice Creamy goodness this thing has! I don't think I can go back to a TW Rom for awhile.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Thanks

Thanks Devs, I'm really glad to have CM9, and appreciate it. I don't make much, regardless I'll be donating. Those of you who think you're "too young" to donate, you really aren't. You have parents that provide you with almost everything, I'm sure it wouldn't kill you to ask for a small donation to the developers responsible for the roms you use.. Just think about it. Nobody is obligated to donate, but honestly, the devs shouldn't have to ask for donations, it's kind of a given that if you're using CM7, and plan on using CM9, that you take the initiative to donate. In the end, the choice will always be yours. Like I said, I honestly don't make enough to pay for luxuries, it's not even a real job, but I'm still going to donate with what I can afford to give.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
Running great, tried to reinstall my titanium backup (going against the grain and the suggested backup protocol lol) and got FC's like crazy in messenger, going to clean wipe and take it slow this time (only restore contacts and SMS logs)

Otherwise smooth as cream implies..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Silpher:
I'm about 95% sure that I won't be going back to CM7, although I'm really just beginning with the testing. Upon reading the bug list, and not yet having a single force-close or issue restoring my data for each app, I can't see any problems that would make me want to regress.

The real question is whether I should put this on my girlfriend's Epic now or wait, but I'm not finding any reasons to not let her have fun with ICS as well.

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

As with going from Froyo to Gingerbread, I've been re-downloading the apps from the Market (Android and Amazon), one by one, and *then* restoring data*. Done about 15 apps so far, and things are going great.

*except for cloud-based apps, like Dropbox or Google Voice/Music - I'm not restoring data at all, since it'll be synced.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xplus93:
All I have to say is this is really alpha? seems more like a beta. This is way too good to be just an alpha, great work devs. I finally found a CM rom I like but i might go over to MIUIv4 when its released.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
Hoping that we can get the hardware keyboard smiley key mapped to the @ symbol like cm7. I think many of us are used to that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
Yeah, not sure what could be causing it when it works perfectly in any other rom. I even confirmed the accelerometer works, so not sure where to go from here without working with someone or having someone else figure it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
I have been on this ROM since it has released, and I will tell you, I am very very impressed. I got the HTC Evo a couple months back thinking development would be better on it, ill admit for awhile it was. The epic is now flying by the EVO's development, while they have ICS, it is full of bugs and not too much fully functions like this ROM. I have no problems at all with this, no bugs, no complaints. By far the most smoothest ROM I have used on my Epic. I would like to thank everybody whom made this possible, you guys are awesome!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes, that theme is causing bootloops in nandroid restores. I have confirmed reflashing ROM and gapps, then running nandroid without the theme will allow you to restore properly. If you want to still use the theme on a restore it is best to clean flash ROM, gapps and kernel if different, boot. Flash the theme, then advance restore data.

Thinking it would be more helpful/appropriate to do so, I posted a 1st bug at the CM bug tracker on this.

Ive been able to double my battery with 2x battery saver. If i manually turn off apn and 3g its the same.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SirLeto:
This rom is virtually bug free, other than hardware acceleration, and these weird keyboard issues. On the stock browser, you could be typing and it would exit the browser and open the search app. Also, sometimes the backspace key would stop working and caps lock would randomly come on. Pressing the arrow keys would highlight the text, and then I could delete it. The caps lock and backspace bug also occured in dolphin browser HD, so I'm sure it's a keyboard issue and not an app issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I think that's more of a feature that has not been implemented yet, rather than a feature that is broken (you can't break something that hasn't been created yet). Bugs are errors in the code that cause something to behave incorrectly, so code that just hasn't been written can't contain any bugs (yet). That's what made your report invalid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] n756gkj:
The code contains a clear/simple file import in the init.rc.

The boot sequence specifically fails at that 'include', and logs an error to the boot logs.

Unless "file includes" are considered an "unimplemented feature", I'm not sure how an example of something not working the way it's supposed to gets much simpler.

[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
I've seen it happen on my Kindle Fire so I don't think it really is a device specific issue but it could be, not too much of a big deal but I get where your concern is branched from.

You're running a third party (not supported by the CM team) kernel, which allows Voodoo Color to be used, go and download and get Voodoo Control and mess with the settings to fit you and at a certain level the green will stop appearing once your phone is awoken, that's an overall voodoo color thing however, not supported within the stock kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
I am really loving this ROM. Everything is working except the audio problems with the phone. What surprises me is that the audio problem has been around since CM7. Because this is a phone and not a tablet, I would have thought that the phone issues would have been addressed first. I guess there's a good reason why it wasn't. I trust the Devs.

I'd like to try out the EL30 modem. Do you still have to ODIN back to the EC05 and patch it from there? Or did they release a flashable EL30 modem tar yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
If you shut down auto rotation in the system settings it won't lock up at all and will work perfectly with physical keyboard.

I just flashed a third Epic onto CM9 and it auto rotates perfect. Made me even more upset with mine. Just want to bang it a couple of times against the wall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
For EL30 and EI22 modems, you have to flash them through CWM.

http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/cwm-modem-upgrades-ec05-to-ei22-or-el30.html

Just follow the instructions. Just flash the "special BML CWM", ignore the errors when it comes back and then flash whatever modem update you want.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
Yeah, I hear ya. Initially I was talking with a dev in the #epic irc and they said it was a bug early on, but it should have been fixed and not been an issue now. That's what led me to odin to stock and go through the process again, but no luck and then that dev was no longer in irc and everyone there started asking me to check the boxes again, etc... I've just gotten tired of hearing the same suggestions over and over again, someone with the issue needs to work with someone who can help.

Maybe if we keep talking back and forth a dev will notice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SirLeto:
I don't seem to have that issue. Do you have flickering problems when you use the youtube app or watch videos using the gallery?

Sent from my CM9 Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeblock:
Ok, I was wrong. No rotation at all. Sliding the kb puts it in landscape, pushing the home key gets Zeam to force it back. And its not a select this, deselect that issue. I have been everywhere in this ROM playing with things. I love it, but I think Ill wait until the next release. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
This was happening to me when I was running a third part kernal I reflashed the rom over without wiping anything to get the original kernal. And now videos work fine no flicking videos. Just my 2 cents.

[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
Unfortunately this doesn't appear to do anything for me. Using the toggle doesn't even rotate the screen one way or the other. It stays stuck in which ever mode it is stuck in. The only thing I've been able to do is slide out KB to get it into landscape and turn back to portrait and let the screen lock and then unlock again so that it is in portrait. And it works normally sometimes but it gets stuck more than works normal. I don't even know if there is anything we can do to provide practical device data to sort it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I Like you went back to a TW rom just to calibrate and check accelerometer and nothing has helped. The fact that the physical keyboard triggers it to go landscape when it opens and back to portrait when it closes tells me the actual rotation works, but where ever it senses the phone itself rotate it is not triggering the screen to rotate. Can't be hardware has to be software related????
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
For the folks having the no rotation issue, try toggling all the toggles and see if this makes a difference.

Edit: more specifically when I say toggles I am talk about all the different areas that rotation appears.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Done all that, nothing works. I have 3 Epic's at home all on CM9 and my personal one is the one which doesn't respond. It's not a lack of trying, attempts or ignorance there is just something affecting specific units.
