there is an app called "Faster Fix" that helped me a lot; it allows you to specify the country you are in,and that narrows down the gps sats that it looks for..

Not sure if I got it in the Market or on XDA though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MackieMack:
Well In That Case I'm Glad I Have One Of The Few Devices That It Works On :D

Can't Wait For The Next Update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
What can we expect in the new release?(:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
New kernel with CWM packed in, which should fix LOS issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
that will be fantastic, if true..

I hate not having a custom recovery "standard" on any rom..

and, if LOS goes away, this rom should be moved to "Beta" status..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mookiejr05:
try flashing it twice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
Hey Brian, do you have that ready for us yet? :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asafegous:
That's everything, right? Camera, face unlock already work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
Face unlock is part of the official gapps, which works great btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alexthearmo:
Not Complaining, Just Reporting so the devs can make this even better! :D

Besides the bugs that are already known I found:

1) Video Camera force closes after 4 seconds of recording

2) Launcher home screen and other scrolling seems to lag a little bit behind the finger. It's really noticible if you compare it to another CM9 rom on a different phone (my wife's NS4G).

If camera can get fully functional and LOS gets fixed, this ROM should be Beta Status!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Hahaha, I wish I had the talent to do what these XDA devs do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
It'll be my daily once camera doesn't lag :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] islanda73:
Thanks to me asking questions the we now have face unlock :). And is anyone else having issue playing videos in the gallery and is this bug related to the YouTube bug?

Also camera doesn't lag at all in paramormic Moder or how ever you spell it

I hope a wifi fix is in the works. I don't get cell service really in my building at work anyway so wifi is generally what I use. I'm always on wifi unless I'm in my car more or less. I would almost trade 3g for wifi lol :) I'm not demanding anything people go about your business just hoping that's the next fix is all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
wifi and the email fix would work for me. Unable to read email is hurting me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yglaotu:
daily driver? I got reboot now and then---entering application management,open zedge ,and some other occassion.Havn't you met such cases?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Onumis:
I haven't really had any issues with it since I put it on. I know what's not working and everything that is working seems to be doing just fine. I've had a few force closes but you get that with any rom. 3g is a killer though it's so slow lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
No, I've not experienced any FC, or reboots.

My only issues are what's mentioned on the front page as well as unable to read email.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ludrose:
help? i must be doing something wrong because i cant boot into recovery then it eventually hangs at the sgs 2 screen and i have to odin to get my phone to work again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Flash MIUI or CM build, let it boot, go to CWM, DO NOT WIPE, flash ROM, clear data/factory restore. Works fine.

ok so i just flashed this on my phone. got it to work, but when i plug in my phone via usb, it wont mount my drives...any advice?

thanks!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fallenraven75:
actually i read that they r removing wifi from the rom all together, its just too difficult to get it to work with this version of ics. and if it is fixed it will be the last thing on the list, so if i were u i would go back to stock and then u wont have anymore problems. wifi fix is not in the works. :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Onumis:
Read Dev notes?

Known Issues with this build:

- Wifi will not turn on

- BT will not turn on

- Camera does not work

- Screen will flicker when rotating

- no mms

- usb (phone will charge and you have adb access but it will not mount)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Check OP of development thread...

Sent from my GSII.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Check your sources. As somebody who is currently running his latest build, I can confirm that that is not true.

Wimax is the very last thing to be worked on on AOSP on every phone because the drivers are not open sourced. Some were lucky to get the drivers or code them from scratch (which is ridiculously difficult). Don't *expect* to ever have 4G working on AOSP on this phone and if it ever does, be pleasantly surprised like the rest of us

:-)

I would think wifi would be a pretty vital point in a rom for a phone that isn't going to get 4g more then likely.

anyone figure out a way to see the actual body of an email in gmail yet?

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smurphdogg:
thanks....lol sorry i guess i missed that part. so how am i suppose to add zip files to this when updates come out?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fallenraven75:
i wish people would read the actual instructions in the op. one day i am going to write a bricked rom and in the directions i will post that flashing this rom will brick your device. i guarentee people will flash it and then put up post asking why the device does not work.

a little advice....read the whole first post by the dev at least twice. maybe more if the rom is labeled Experimental build. if you do not have another rom on your card and you didnt do a backup then u r sol. or maybe u can remove the card from the phone, place a rom of your choice, or a backup on the root of your card and reinstall the card. open cwm and flash back to a tw rom and wait for the devs to continue there hard work. but if nothing else read the entire op of every rom u r using. u will be shocked how few questions u will have to ask.:mad:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Can't wait! Btw, if I'm on previous version, can I just flash over it? Just follow op on dev thread. How have you all been upgrading, so to speak?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
You can unless otherwise stated but its usually the best practice to wipe when updating since these ROMs are experimental as it is.

Fresh install will help cut down on issues that aren't inherent to the ROM itself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jnguyen12:
Damn... I tried using the Wireless Tethering apk but it didn't work. Ohh well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Yeah, you're right. Its always best. Just sucks to have to boot back into miui and start all over... lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Yeah I understand that I don't want to go back because ICS is just so freakin awesome but the LOS issue is a *****. :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] michiel21:
yeah the devs are doing a great job and the more I see the work they put into it makes me want to buy them all around of beers and shots of cuervo nothing fancy but for real the progress has been excellent and I amazed at well some of the first time roms are working
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
+1. Any way to restore service without rebooting?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piexil:
Sometimes resetting the signal works. Try freshnetwork (Available in the market)

It didn't work for me, but I had LoS even when forcing 4g on and trying the FB15 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
After trying the leaked ICS build I'm not so ecstatic...I mean its OK but nothing major. However, if that release leads to CM9 becoming more stable....well, that is something to look forward to!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Respect18:
Yeah, I agree. I had to switch back because I was getting LOS every 5 minutes and kept rebooting to see if I had missed messages. Sucks but maybe tomorrow theres a fix. Well see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Which leak are y'all using? I had a hell of a time with FB09, but FB17 has been rock solid for me. Haven't had a single LOS since I flashed it the night it came out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
This is a thread for CyanogenMod 9 which is compiled from source.

Not Samsung Touchwiz leaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
I know, I was responding to the people I thought were talking about los on ics. My bad, I misread and was just a bit confused by previous posts :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I've had a few LOS's in the last 24 hours

I just downloaded Fresh Network, so we'll see what that does

Has anyone dumped a3.1 in the last day or so, and gone back to a non ICS ROM?

did you do it by flashing clock work mod, and installing a recovery for the galaxy S2, and restore that way, or, can you restore a nandroid using the "stock" recovery that is packed with a3.1?

I really really want to stay with cm9, and, outside of the occasional LOS, and no mounting of sd card via usb, this rom is good enough to be a daily for me..plus, I bet that once Scott uploads his latest version, it will have a custom recovery cooked into it

Thanks!

EDIT:

Has anyone tried to flash Steadys' new kernel/CWM recovery on top of a3.1 yet?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390393
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Respect18:
I odin'd a kernel that had CWM and then just restored my backup (MIUI). I tried installing through the stock recovery but it always aborted so I just went the other route.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I'm wondering if flashing this kernel on top of this release will give us a custom recovery..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390393

Stupid me; the answer is right in th eOP..

"FB09, FB15, and FB17 users-

You must install this via Odin. Trying to bake into a rom or flash via CWM may result in a bootloop. Also, you will not receive any OTA after flashing this.

CM9 Alpha 3.1 users-

This will work on the Alpha 3.1 build but it will break the following:

-3G

-External storage mount

-Bootanimation (it will boot from splash screen to black screen to rom)"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dougiefresh36:
Anyone try to flash LOS checker? Maybe that could help in the mean time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
I asked that earlier, but didn't get a response. I'm not sure...I know trifthen's los daemon has some kernel dependency, so I don't know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] motocomicnerd:
I don't know if this is rom specific or ICS issue, but I can't find the setting to output audio to the dock connector for my car dock (or any dock). Anyone have any ideas or can tell me where that setting is, as I might just be ignorant and missing it. Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayjay7411:
Definitely loving 3.1 been using it since release battery life is about 7 hrs heavy use, and about 9 to 10 if used so so. The 4G being on all the time I assume is to blame I do get 4G quite everywhere so I think when we get 3G constant all will be well. What happens to me is I just lose 3G here n there but not 1x services , its odd. However 4G rocks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Can you post some screenshots of the display time and your usage? I'm thinking about going to CM9, but TouchWiz is giving me decent battery life at the moment. Thanks in advance.

Can't install this ROM on CWM, I keep getting the status 7 error when trying to flash. The MD5 sum was verified and it's not a bad download but it won't take on CWM or on Rogue, any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DumbInACan:
It is supposed to be stock CWM. Did you make sure that system was not mounted before flashing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brennam7:
Use the cwm included in CM7 and/or alpha 1/2 of this rom. correct me if im wrong
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
FYI

Something I found out about touchwiz, I'm messing around with Calks rooted ics tw rom, you can actually disable the tw launcher and have the ICS launcher, its all built in.

I've been able to remove and replace many or the TW themed apps, the only ones I haven't been able to figure out are Contacts and phone. Everything else now has the stock look.

The rom is very stable, although I'm waiting on this one to be updated. Just wanted to share.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] motocomicnerd:
Yup not there in CM9 thanks for confirming I'm not crazy :)

Best kernel (CWM) for this?

Seems my 3g is disabled after installing ... I installed using StockCWM-El26, rom boots properly ... everything works BUT 3g.

I was having trouble getting 3.1 to flash... i kept getting stuck at the sgsII screen... i finally got it working, so here's what i did in case anyone else is having trouble.

what WAS happening (and wasn't working):

got a stock CWM recovery.

flashed 3.1 (took only a second and automatically rebooted into the previous rom. thought that was weird.)

rebooted into recovery (cwm not the e3 from the 3.1 ICS recovery)

reflashed 3.1 (took a bit longer this time and didnt auto reboot. 10 seconds maybe)

flashed gapps

selected reboot from cwm

got stuck at sgsII screen

what worked:

got a stock CWM recovery.

flashed 3.1 (took only a second and automatically rebooted into the previous rom. thought that was weird.)

rebooted into recovery (cwm not the e3 from the 3.1 ICS recovery)

reflashed 3.1 (took a bit longer this time and didnt auto reboot. 10 seconds maybe)

FLASHED 3.1 AGAIN!!!! (took even longer this time. 20 seconds maybe)

flashed gapps

selected reboot from cwm

booted to ics.

just thought this might help some people out if they get stuck at the sgsII screen.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I gotta say, the battery life on 3.1 is really good;

install setcpu, change governor to on demand or conservative, and, see what I mean..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
I use setcpu as well, but I'm seeing a lot of kernel/system wakelocks that are absolutely killing my battery. Hard to tell if it's really a kernel problem or an installed app(s) causing issue. I think I'll have to wipe /data and see if I still see the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Me too. Having 4G on all the time is killing the battery. SetCPU helped, changed CPU to 1GHz and governor to On Demand.

The LOS is very frustrating, especially since it's the only major hindrance IMO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
probably an app; you could also under clock at bit

I am at 1000/200 on demand, and my battery is discharging at a very "normal" rate...much better than it was on previous versions of the CM9 alphas

---------- Post added at 07:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

I put it on yesterday, and haven't had a single LOS since; at least, none that I am aware of!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
well, I have 4g turned "on", but 4g is almost non existent in my house, where I work out of about 75% if the time..I also have an Air Rave, if that means anything..Also, have wifi on all the time too..

Not sure if that helps at all...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
I too am curious if you have 4G turned on at the same time you are using the app? :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
wel,, I have it "on", but I don't see any 4G Icon in my status bar when in my house; I guess I should turn it "off", and see what happens..

Fresh Network is free in the market, so its worth a shot to try it..

No need for keeping 4g on. Go get the latest kernel that steady just posted

EDIT: I tried to install it but got the dreaded "E Signature verification failed"..

anyone else get that kernel installed yet?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
Maybe if you rename the CWM version to update.zip it might work, or very much more likely BRICK you device.

Just to be safe I would go the ODIN method. That's what I just did and all is well.

This build is excellent, the opening splash screen is showing a very professional look and (I hope final look).

Discovered this build just before I went to sleep, had to download it . . . it is great works perfectly, so far.

I am not sure but my WiFi seems to not connect to my previously working WiFi, but I will check further.

So far awsome, please keep up the great work.

It is because it is a TW kernel and not an AOSP kernel. They are not interchangeable.

You can use steady's kernel. But as it states in the OP of that thread, it breaks 3G

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayjay7411:
Can confirm that this new kernel released today doesn't break 3G and so far (5minutes in) haven't had LoS guess I'll update in a bit and see how long it last, also to clarify I am not using 4G nor is it turned on.

Try heimdall, it's a Linux/Mac ODIN replacement.

Signal issues how? Like fluctuating signal bars or actually dropping and out? It's a known issue with the ROM that signal strength is not being correctly displayed.
