This and the previous rom do not work on my home wifi... It connects for a few seconds and works... Then just drops out. Pisses me off to no end as it randomly started last night.... Thought it was my router but all my other devices work great... The strange thing is, it was happening on el29 last night as well... But worked fine this morning.

It's working great for my tablet right now, but not my phone, just cuts out and ceases to work... I was on wifi all day in my office with no issue either... I was thinking I maybe have a hardware issue since it was happening on el29 as well... But then it worked great all day when I was elsewhere.

Super. Confused.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PinnerProxy:
Is qbking doing a how to install and a review? I keep following the instructions for alpha 3.1 and i tried flashing 4 today with the same steps but all i get is a reboot of the bootscreen over and over again.

Battery Life

Still on CM9 3.1 w Rogue 1.2.1C.

Had a huge increase in battery life after I tweaked my settings.

Using CPU Tuner I have my settings as this:

Screen on:

200mhz - 800mhz

2 Cores

Thresholds 85%

Screen Off:

200mhz - 800mhz

1 Core

Services: Background Sync = Pulse

Thresholds 85%

I had "screen off" profile at 500mhz max but it was glitchy and I wasn't getting good battery life still. This is decently responsive and today I got over 15hrs (still haven't drained it.)

With the weirdness people are talking about with CM9 A4 I'm tempted to wait for A4.1 or A5.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Try flashing the A4 ROM 2x. The second install should take longer... I've had to do this since A3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NORCALkID:
Did you mount the SD card in the storage settings ? ... as in hit menu scroll down to device ... hit storage ... scroll and hit mount SD card?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImaWinRAR:
for those getting stuck on the GS2 splash, restore, and when you go to flash, go to mounts and storage and UNMOUNT system.

for those getting FCs, dont use Rogue. try Stock CWM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416056 and wipe cache and dalvik after the flash.

again, MAKE SURE SYSTEM IS NOT MOUNTED
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcar23424:
is everyones button lights staying on constantly? Mine stay on all the time and its very annoying
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Thats what I did...

nandroid to CM9 a2

flashed rom 2x

flashed gapps

wipe data/factory reset

booted right up

get back to GB I flashed StockCWM5.tar.md5

booted in recovery and restored... I have a jig so Odin counts mean nothing to me

I have done this procedure twice in the last hour... Trying to see if I can get GPS to lock on GB or CM7 and flash back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
report back please if u can get navigation to work on this rom.

i can get instant lock on maps but navigation just searching for gps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiekan:
Yeah, I did. I could view the contents of the SD card via the file explorer, but I couldn't open or modify anything on the card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
yea thats just your good old wireless data doing its best to find you. I must admit though FB21 modem does give me stronger download speeds. I have noticed this over the past couple days. I have been running it with EL29 modem and EL13 rom (UnNamed)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Can't get Market to work. It "stops". So does Package Access Helper.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DonutGrunt:
Great ROM, I think I like it better than the official ICS leaks for our phones.

I used to have a lot of trouble installing but here is the best way and works everytime for me. And I come from other roms.

Download the MIUI rom, flash it, boot into it.

Then go to recovery

wipe data, cache, etc

install CM9 and GAPPS

reboot and it should work

really the easiest way, no need to check system mount or anything
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pandamaja:
Package Access Helper has stopped

Is anyone getting the 'Unfortunately, Package Access Helper has stopped' message when trying to install apps from the market?

I cannot for the life of me get Alpha 4 to flash. I've tried flashing cm7 and rebooting recovery then flashing Alpha 4 and gapps but it won't get past the Samsung screen. Any tips? I've tried keeping up with this thread but it is moving fast.

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

I'll try this, but it doesn't sound any different then I've tried (other than flashing MIUI instead of CM7)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DonutGrunt:
Try MIUI, works everytime for me. I had no luck when I flashed CM7
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
system settings / advanced/ sensors / enable keys backlight. Uncheck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Navigation worked fine for the quick test I did. Was on wifi but doubt that matters?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImaWinRAR:
check if your system is mounted when your flash, it shouldnt be and thats why ur stuck on the splash screen

Had to go back to my backup of 3.1

EA (in their infinite wisdom) left no way to resync their SWToR authenticator and my backup of it just encounters an error.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
So i have no clue where to go at this point. I was running CM9 Alpha 3.1 with the Rogue FB21 kernel. I downloaded the Alpha 4 and gapps to my internal SD and booted into recovery. I wiped Cache and dalvik, then flashed CM9, followed by the latest gapps. I missed the instruction to wipe cache again and rebooted.

Now when I boot my phone, I get the blue notification light and nothing more. I can't get into download mode via Vol down and Power or recovery via Vol Up, Home, Power.

Seeing that I was already on CM9, i must have misunderstood the instructions and flashed this incorrectly.

Any suggestions or thoughts to get my phone booting would be appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
FYI guys just like the OG Evo days if you get a GPS lock in GB then load up ICS you will get a GPS lock there as well...

My steps:

Loaded up UnNamed and put GPS on got a solid lock

Nandroid my CM9 a2

Flashed rom 2x

Flashed gapps

Wipe Factory/Data

boot up - set up account - download Maps and Navigation locked in 3 seconds

Hope it helps some of you out!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bo5ibbs:
Can anyone report their experience with LOS so far including settings? I've been good for about 4 hours with wifi off and 4g on
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I'm not giving up. I'll check this next time I try again. Currently I'm restoring an old backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phrac:
Mine seems to be working fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
did you get a lock or does it say GPS searching.... If you just use Maps you will probably find yourself but the trick is to use Navigation and see what it says

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
what kernel and cwm u using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Sorry if this has been covered before, but how is it that we can use a custom Samsung kernel (rogue) on a AOSP rom like CM9? In the past weren't the AOSP and manufacturer kernels mutually exclusive?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
You have to mount it every time you reboot.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phrac:
Using Alpha 4 + FB21 kernel (kernel packed with alpha 4, not rogue) & FB21 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
You should have done a factory reset after flashing rom and gapps to get calender to sync.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
do u have link for that kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
I have never bricked a phone before, was the simple lack of the cache wipe my issue or was it flashing CM9 from the rogue recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NORCALkID:
It's the p even that is already built into the rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phrac:
Its just the kernel that sbrissen is using for Alpha 4, I haven't flashed any other kernel after I flashed alpha 4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
I definitely get a lock. I go straight into the navigation app, type a destination, choose one from the list and my icon at the top left has a solid round dot in it. Just re-verified.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
You said you tried vol up + home + power but on my phone vol DOWN + home + power gets me into download mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phrac:
I flashed over 3.1 from rogue without a problem but I DID wipe cache after the flash. That sucks that it happened to you, hope you can get it fixed soon!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NORCALkID:
Not sure but it has happened to the best of us.... Ask T.C.P.... Amazing dev and it happened to him
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hamish26:
I'd guess the combination of both. Always supposed to flash these from a stock CWM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
ok but the app says gps searching..... when done your location shows on the screen is that what you get? Just trying to make sure we talking bout the same thing here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
No but I don't think it would if the kernel's not overclockable and that's not in the release notes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
oh yeah i forgot about that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] javan966:
got GPS working by going back to stock rooted EL29 lock GPS test it by using google navigation then flashing FORMAT ALL ZIP, then flash CM9/GAPPS after i rebooted went into maps position lock with in 5 seconds and i test it by using navigation and it worked.....

only bug i have now is MMS :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
Vol down + Power has always put me into d/l mode, just tried adding home, but no joy...

Yeah, sucks that I missed that when reading the info. This is my first samsung phone (got it on release day) and it took me forever to understand that the recovery is part of the kernel. Came from HTC devices where the recovery is its own partition and lives by itself. I'm frustrated at myself right now but I do have insurance/TEP...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Yep. It is working just like you'd expect it to. No searching for gps msg or anything out of the ordinary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
i flashed alpha 4 earlier today ontop of 3.1 and browser,camera,gmail,google search would all fc. i did a factory wipe then flashed cm7, reboot then flashed a 4 again, tried both gapps on different flashes and those apps would still fc. anyone with this? i did a nandroid back to my previous setup. im thinking of just waiting for the next version

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
All of those working fine for me flashed gapps-ics-20120224-signed.zip. Fb21 modem, kernel that comes with a4.

Fyi I did not wipe my data, just cache and dalvik.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] a63548:
Everything has been running fantastically well with Alpha 4! Can't thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication sbrissen :) Once I get some spare cash, I will definitely be sending a donation your way ;)

As far as I can tell everything is running very smooth. I did have an initial problem trying to install using StockCWM-EL26.zip from chris41g. Instead I installed CM7, and continued the install from the CWM it had. CM9 then installed without any problems by following instructions in the original post.

ill try it again, i wiped cache/dalvik only the first time, but i did it before i flashed. ill try it after this time. wish me luck, im getting kinda of scared now with all these bricked phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
+1, nothing is even working for me to boot Alpha 4. Tried every suggestion here so far but nothing is working for me (system isn't mounted either). Last try is to flash 3.1 then use calkulins wipe all then flash A4....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Yeah no ****. Shame such a top notch ROM is getting associated with it.

Good luck! CM7, reboot recovery, CM9, gapps, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, reboot, pray. Factory reset only if you hang on Samsung screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] javan966:
yup thats the same thing i got when i tired to send a MMS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
+1! Everything is rocking for me too. Nice and snappy. I'll live without recovery for the time being.

In theory I could just tar up /data from adb shell for a backup, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
k. reflashed v4 with gapps then wiped cache/dalvik...everything is working now. i guess wiping cache as the last step really made a difference. i havent flashed rogue kernel yet...ill just wait until the next update to flash anything. camera is working fine and got gps lock in less then 30seconds. now im happy:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] albe070:
From is working great . Only thing I got is every time I reboot I get the "Android upgrading " screen and optimizing apps. Any 1 know I keep getting that? I did flash the gapps from 0224

GPS

1st great rom, all is well, GPS is not working for me, so 1st question has anyone tried to odin the fb 21 with cmw rouge built in it ? second if i do odin the the fb21, you guys thing going back to a TW rom, getting a lock, wiping data and restoring the back up of CM9 would work to get gps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jordan2333:
That's how i did it coming from CM7 and no problems so far.MMs works sending and receiving.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] *Luke*:
If you use the format all, the assert script will fail. The OP for the ROM specifically states not to wipe the system for that reason.

The most foolproof method seems to be to start from fresh ODIN'ed stock, wipe everything, use the format all, then flash CM 7.2. From the CM 7.2 recovery, directly flash A4 and gapps in the same session, and DO NOT wipe anything beforehand. After you have flashed both, THEN do your data/cache wipes. Whatever you do, DO NOT format system or use the format all script. You should be good to go at that point =)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
That is a bug in this build. It's in the OP of the dev thread. No way around it that I know of yet

Not totally sure if it still does, but MIUI had the same kernel/recovery as cm7a6.

Anybody get 4G wireless tether to work? I downloaded the android wireless apk and that doesn't seem to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
This ROM doesn't come with a custom recovery so you won't have that option. There are reports of people who have tried flashing kernels that do have custom recoveries bricking their phones. I'm just happy I upgraded successfully and will patiently wait for the devs to figure out what's up.

Try downloading the cm7a6 zip, unzip it, and heimdall flash --kernel zImage. Then pull the battery, put it back and boot to recovery and try your flash.

Don't use rogue... Odin to el29. Flash cm7 or miui. Follow the OP in the dev thread. Perfection
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Try this slightly modified procedure:

- Boot into recovery

- Flash CM7--no data wipe

- Reboot recovery--not into ROM

- Flash cm9 and latest gapps

- Wipe cache and dalvik--no data wipe

If you boot then you can always factory reset.

EDIT: Moved cache/dalvik wipe to after flash. Not sure if it matters but that's the order I did it in.

Not using rogue (Flash cm7 to get blue cwm recovery) Followed OP and still stuck. Just caught up in the thread. Will check if system is mounted
