[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
Sorry if it's been asked before.. I couldn't find anything. Would it be okay to revert back to my previous Samsung ROM by restoring the nandroid backup? Thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Thx I had previously downloaded it....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Yo this is gonna be the shiiiiitz when its up and running. Sorry had to say that again cuz this is the first OS I can actually say I really really line. All the rest were nice but this feels and looks real nice..... Especially since I am running Steady Hawkins CM9 Kang on my Xoom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
yes, you can restore anything you want from the recovery on this rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
Thanks, that's what I assumed but I remember when I had a Samsung Vibrant I couldn't restore a Samsung ROM after CM7 due to CM7 using ext4 and Samsung using their own RFS filesystem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I've installed this, and uninstalled it at least 4 times so far, and was always able to restore a backup, so I would assume you would have the same experience.

Good Luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Danial723:
Did someone seriously just ask for an ETA in the Dev forum? Lol

sent from the near past
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
My thoughts exactly, and in that snarky ass tone.

*jumps through screen and ***** slaps the noob*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisbass:
+1 on the ***** slap
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brenbags:
Who the hell cares if someone asked for an ETA. Instead of being a snarky ****, the conversation could have gone something like this. *Some dude* "Hey hows the progress going, when do you think we'll see an update?"....*Dev* "Hey it's going pretty good, looks like I'll have (this feature) up and running within the week"........then anyone who has that same thought can look at that response and be satisfied....There is honestly never a reason to be a ****. I can't believe some of the comments I read on here. You guys need to get over yourselves. The OG Evo community was so much better. Miss that....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
Then go the hell back, seriously.

The OP specifically says NOT to ask for ETAs. He is not a slave for us. When the updates come, they come. Bugging a dev is NOT the way to go about getting updates. Furthermore, Scott already said there would hopefully be an update early this week, if that person or yourself for that matter bothered to read the thread, you would have seen that.

So enjoy yourself in the Evo community, don't let the door hit you on the way out *waves*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brenbags:
You're doing exactly what I'm talking about. Learn how to have a civil conversation, because you are acting like a child. That guy was just inquiring about the status of the build. It's not unreasonable. How hard would a quick 2 second response have been. "Its going pretty good!, making progress" It didn't require a flame. And what I was doing was simply defending him. You didn't see me asking about updates. It's just a better community when people don't talk to each other like that. There is honestly no reason to do it. An open dialogue is always better than someone being told to shut the hell up, and leave the community.

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

And barnacles10 is right. The dev did say an update was coming this week. The dev did say he didn't want any ETA requests, but what I have a problem with is a lot of the self righteousness and cold, unfriendly responses I've been seeing in this community....I mean honestly, put it in perspective. Big deal if he didnt see what the dev said about the update coming this week. Wouldn't it have just been easier and cooler to say "hey, the dev said it should come out this week, and please post update inquires in the general discussion, cheers".....thats sooo hard instead of making someone feel like crap
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
I think we're all getting at the fact that we've all been waiting for quite some time for ics to come to this phone and the EXACT reason why the devs refused to work on it was because people kept asking for an ETA. Not to mention that it's kinda rude. The way it was asked wasn't phrased the way you had phrased it. Yes, it could have been much worse, but fact is (and it's a rule for all of the forums) YOU DO NOT ASK FOR AN ETA. It's simple, sit there patiently like everyone else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
You do realize your not on RootzWiki right? Someone who asks for an ETA when an ETA for the next release has already been set, NO-ETAS was specifically pointed out in the OP and they asked in the Development thread instead of the discussion thread for an update - that they are GOING to get flamed.

I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for that. He wasn't a brand new member, he clearly can read the OP, he clearly can search and he CLEARLY can see that several people have said to discuss this ROM in THIS thread, not the development thread.

People like that deserve no sympathy or defending. They deserve to be put in their place so they don't do it again. In my opinion at least :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brenbags:
Freeroot,

You don't get more patient than me pal. I was not the one who asked for an update. I am more than happy with my gb rom until ICS is fully ready to go. You obviously want a more observant community, thats fair... and all I want a more respectful and open community, that should be fair as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yokken:
Grow up

I think you can remind someone that asking for an ETA is not allowed, but there really is no need to be, as Brenbags said it, self-righteous about it. So someone didn't read everything, do you really expect everyone to? Stop wasting your time...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brenbags:
Okay, I see your point dbaybay, but let's keep it fun and friendly...Life's too damn short. That's what made the Evo community fun, a lot of good relationships were formed there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
This is the end of the argument. I'm going to work. I advise you all to read this thoroughly as it is apparent that you haven't: http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brenbags:
Well freenote has ended the argument, that's a relief......and apparently suggesting that people be more friendly with each other indicates we haven't read the rules of XDA.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Thanks for the reply, didn't work however. Still gives the same error.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boliviano3:
Yes, use odin to flash the EL26 kernel otherwise you run the risk of bricking if you use the ICS recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
Yes, absolutely, 100% this. I was phoneless for almost 48 hours because I stupidly forgot about that. Now I'm up and running on CM9 again and won't make that mistake a second time. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Finally got my replacement phone and running latest cm9. So far so good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boliviano3:
Can we still blacklist phone numbers? On CM7 I was able to do it by longpressing a number in the call log and selecting blacklist but that doesn't seem to work now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oiad:
Go into people and select one. Then hit menu and check all calls to voicemail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
Has anyone tried to change the boot animation? I used the CM9 animation, but it caused my phone to reboot randomly throughout the day and I had to reinstall CM9 to fix it. I asked the dev who supplied them here on XDA and he recommended that I post the question in here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I installed by putting the boot animation in /system/media.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
if you grab Rom Toolbox App, there are tons of boot animations in there; they all seem to work fine on cm9 rc0

I'm using ironman...very cool
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
Are you having any random reboots?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
no, I haven't had a single random reboot, and, I have been on this release for about 6 days..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edwis:
but there will be a solution to this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Yeah ... get a new phone. Sorry, but bricked is bricked ... eventually we'll get kernel source and they'll fix the ics kernel/recovery issues, but til then, just don't use it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edwis:
ok thanks anyway
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] curly9:
It might take a while but see if mobiletechvideos.com can fix it they fixed mine costs 50 bucks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrlswltrs:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Can you post a copy of the animation?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Just got mine :-)

It was frustrating because my last one was only soft bricked. I could Odin install recoveries. I could access data via recovery USB mounting. I could not format or write to the data partition through Odin or recovery.

I'm still convinced there is a way to fix this.

Too bad we couldn't use an Android equivalent of Partition Magic to delete and reinstall partitions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Were you using a pit file in Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Yes. One I got some where in UHF xda forums.

I tried:

flashing it alone,

flashing it with a recovery,

and flashing it followed by flashing the custom factory Odin.

No luck.

Anyone knows which controls pics in SMS notifications? I notice some shows my contacts pics and some dont

Hmmm... So I am having issues getting MMS to send...

I've cleared app data but still no luck.

I'm on the 3-11-2012 (revision 1) build of this rom.

Was a suggested fix to flash back to touchwiz and do a profile update/hands free activation?

Let me know.

thanks,

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
I believe someone was able to fix it the other day using fdisk, but I'm not sure on the details.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] atomb:
emmc -> external_sd

Hey just as a heads up if you add this script to CM9 (I did it through Rom Toolbox set to run at boot)

mount -o bind /emmc /sdcard/external_sd

This will fix the external_sd folder showing up as empty
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
Where do i place this script? Do i run it through terminal emulator and save as script?

Sorry for the ignorance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neuteboomt:
atomb uses "Rom Toolbox" to create the script.

No I'm getting the best speeds I've gotten with this phone. On blazer gb rom from work I would usually get 7.5-8Mbps. Now I get 10-12. I'm still on el29 modem.

I'm having trouble flashing the 3/11 build. I'm currently running sbrissens latest. Anywhere I can find the instructions on updating. It appears that darchstar's build wont run through odin (it crashes each try). Not sure where I'm going wrong here. Ideas? Thanks.

Anyone know a work around for a market app that says it can't install to USB or sdcard? I remember a post that said to unmount my SD but that didn't wrk .

it was mount usb storage to pc and install the app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oiad:
Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
If that works, would unmounting the sd card work?

Then remount after downloading.

Tried that first but it doesnt work. Mounting to PC does work though.

I have something that's been bugging me for a while...There's this banding on the gradient background of all apps that have the gradient, It's mostly around the center. It is not in the screenshots, only when the app is actually being rendered.

VM Notification?

I hate to be asking this, since I know I've seen it for a few years on any sprint aosp builds; that dang persistent voicemail notification. :confused:

I know of the re-provisioning dance with an old phone, calling, deleting vm, and reactivating the android phone. Also CM7 had an option to just remove all VM notifications (at least the EVO 4G builds did). I've searched and noticed CM9 doesn't have this option (yet).

Is everyone just living with it? I'm not able to try the re-provisioning method. I found this during my searching; has anyone tried this Epic CM mod on our builds?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23531299
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
I install Sprint voice mail and use Google voice. No problems ever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I installed the 031512 build, and sprint VM is already included. But I got that generic *86 voicemail notification that couldn't be cleared.

I actually tried that phone.apk in the link I gave above, and it actually worked! :)

[UPDATE] I redid the smali edit to our Phone.apk and attached it to this post, just in case there was a difference between the OG epic build and darchstar's 3/15 build.

I didn't flash it, but replaced the apk via root explorer. No more vm notification!

My procedure for installing this phone mod without flashing it:

1) with root explorer, navigate to /system/app and mount r/w.

2) in /system/app, rename existing phone.apk to phone.apk.bak (back up the original)

3) copy the attached phone.apk and paste it in /system/app

4) change permissions of this new phone.apk to match the rest of the apks in that folder (rw-r--r--)

5) (important step) navigate to /cache/dalvik-cache and delete "system@app@Phone.apk@classes.dex"

6) reboot

7) profit?

No more *86 voicemail notification, and phone seems to act as it should. Win!

Hey guys/gals,

Had a problem and not sure if im the only one.

I had my phone sitting on my desk(not in use at all). I grab it a hour later and its pretty hot through my otter box. I try unlocking the screen and the phone does not respond. I pull battery and try again with no luck. I plugged into the wall charge and I get a battery with a yellow exclamation mark. I leave it on the charger and the mark goes away and it shows the battery is completely dead(it was atleast 50% when left).

I think the battery was rapidly discharged by the phone. I am running the latest CM9 as of 2 weeks ago. I have never had this happen before with the stock s2 firm ware or CM9.

Any one else experience this problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Found a work around to the banding. Go to settings > advanced > screen > mode > dynamic. This will make the gradient smoother.

Are you using SetCPU? Or any other tweaks to the CPU settings? If so, go back to stock CPU settings and see if you get another SOD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkfire2024:
No I haven't messed with the CPU. I have installed travp236's inverted apps over at rootzwikis by pushing them through root explorer, but I don't know if that even could cause an SOD.

Thank you for the help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
anyone figure out how to have home, menu, etc buttons to turn off at certain times? In enabled them in the advanced settings and they don't turn off until screen is off. If you disable this setting they turn on for a lil bit and turn off completely
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Yea, I've read people may of induced SOD with messing with CPU settings or running CPU scripts. I'm running the same rom/modem combo as you, but I haven't had any SOD. To note, I'm running stock gapps; the only thing I have modified is the phone.apk to kill the VM notification.

I looked for the touch key timeout settings too. I'm guessing that it isn't a native option for ICS/CM9 since the gnex has softkeys that don't timeout.

Just wanted to point out that with CM9, my phone has never had to reconnect back to wifi again when woken from sleep. I had that annoying problem with the TW ROMS.

Video playback on CM9 stutters way more than on TW ICS roms?

I am wanting to know why there is such a difference between playback abilities between the two types of roms. I have tried Dice Player and MX Video Player and they both preform much better on Touch Wiz Roms and run poorly on CM9. Is it because TW is using some built in codecs that CM9 doesn't have? Or is it to do with not having the source that is needed yet? I love the CM9 rom in every way except this and I am just wanting to know if this will always be an issue or if this is one of those things that will get fixed with time. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Hmm, I woke up to my phone being hot to the point of it worrying me.. Since then, it has lost about 1% a minute (or quicker).. It's still hot and i'm down to 82% even though I woke up and unplugged it around 15 minutes ago. I'm literally watching the numbers drop. As I've typed this post it has dropped 4-5% as of this point.

Has this happened to anyone else? What do I do? This has ran flawlessly (aside from the bugs) for weeks... Have been running the 3/15 build since the 16th as well. Ps, the only changes yesterday that I can recall was updating the goo inside me app (goo manager) and installing screen filter last night to reduce screen brightness while reading in bed. Now it's dropped a total of 9% since I started typing this.. The heat issues are gone though..

Edit : After a reboot... Things seem better... Wtf could have happened?

It could be that the new apps installed just needed a reboot. I have seen this on my Galaxy tab running CM9.

Touch wiz has a built in divx decoder. It's divx.apk in system/app that allows other apps to use hardware mode to decode video.

Unfortunately it only seems to work with touch wiz.

BS player has a hardware mode that decodes divx that works on cm7
