The zip file has the tar file in it. Just extract the tar file, put your phone in download mode, connect it to your computer, load up odin, under option, make sure only "auto reboot" is checked, click the phone button, select the tar file you extracted from the zip file, then click start.

Great, didn't know that. Will come in handy in the future. So are you saying that zip >tar? LOL. Jk.

Has anyone tried FD02 on this build?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
So I take back my comments from last night... After wiping everything and flashing from a clean slate I still have abysmal battery life.. Five to six hours today with pretty minimal use..... Any recommendations?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
Try the new FD02 modem and see if that makes a difference?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Will do I'm on el29. Can it make that much of a difference?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
My experience is no, it probably won't. What takes up the most of your battery according to Android? If you post a picture of that it might be helpful.

Also, I found that having 4G on all the time has been the best way to go, even when I don't have good reception. It seems to have improved my battery life when I use that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Hmm, can't upload a screenshot from the phone for some reason... Anyhow, android os is by far the largest culprit (i thought that was supposed to be fixed in 4.4... Must be a kernel source issue) I also had a screen on time of an hour and a half. I don't understand how some people are getting 10-20 hours or more with the same setup while I get 5-6. I don't have a crazy amount of apps installed, it's pretty bare to be honest. If I could get ten solid hours of moderate use I'd be happy. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake... Maybe my battery was damaged from one of the early ics builds that caused the phone to overheat lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Also, if I'm plugged into usb on my computer the battery actually slowly drains, while charging, if the screen is on o_O

Is the kernel that this is using available separate? I've been using fc22 after flashing mods in cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Somairotevoli:
It doesn't work, that's why I'm having the issue I posted above. I mobile Odin back to el26 to flash a modem, and then flash back to fc22. If I'm not mistaken I think this ROM was using fc24. Just need it separate.

Have you tried wiping your internal memory (the part that reads as internal sd card) or the external sd card? I had to do that a while back when I first came to Ice Cream Sandwich and it seemed to help.

Triangle Away Question

With the flashing of these ROMs, I'm gong to have to get Triangle Away, but I'm currently jobless and don't need to be spending money on things like at the moment. Is there a limit of time I can flash before my phone decides to blow up, or can I flash indefinitely and then when I get a job, get Triangle Away and clear the count. I realize it's only $2, but that a few days worth of Ramen that I may need later, which is why I'm waiting to buy it.

Does CM9a2 have the custom battery bar like AoKP? The feature that you can have that bar on top of the nav or status bar, I love that thing and miss. I'm searching all over for that option in settings. I don't see it in interface and CM9 doesn't have the same from control features as AoKP, I can't find anything else that this build is missing though.. :/

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Has anyone looked at system information in Quadrant. It says number of cores=1. I know it used to say that for our phone prior to a recent app update, but I remember it got fixed. Is this an app issue or is CM9 really only utilizing one core?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Im getting great battery life, I guess its hit or miss with some phones. I'd just redownload the ROM, wipe flash it again.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

That was happening when I was running mijj's ROM. The camera app crashed the phone too. That's when I ended up flashing Cm9. Camera works now battery is better.

Ur question..... cant compute
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Correct, Cyanogenmod 9 is a custom ROM built off of ICS, and for all intents and purposes is nearly identical to vanilla Android (with CM tweaks, of course).

I'm sure in time it will be complete, but that will likely take a while. I don't expect it to be at a level of officially supported by CM until Samsung releases their Touchwiz-ICS build for our phone, simply because it will have the ICS kernel sources, therefore making life easier for the devs working on this.

A perfect example is the OG Epic...there was a build of CM7 (based off gingerbread) before Gingerbread was actually released for that phone, however that build couldn't be officially supported by CM because it contained hacks and kangs that didnt fall in line with CM's guidelines of "compliance"; why? Because to do it properly would have meant writing kernel sources from scratch, and generally just shooting in the dark. Once official Gingerbread was released by Samsung, however, it gave the devs a baseline and starting point to start making the CM kernel the right way.

I expect the same for this phone...these experimental builds will likely be developed to become more and more useable, but real CM compliance work will probably wait until kernel source release from Samsung. Unless of course, our devs are extra ambitious and feel like putting themselves through the torture of writing every driver from scratch for a build not yet released, lol.

Also keep in mind, base CM9 itself isn't even a final build, the main CM team is still working on it.

Niice, I really want to give this Alpha a run but the only thing holding me back is camera not functioning. I also heard an update is coming this week. How long have you been running it for? Any small bugs you've encountered that are not in op?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Loads up for me, but crashes right after.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
I've been running the Alpha 1 since the day it dropped as my daily. Overall it's really stable and fast. If you can deal with no wifi, it's a must have. I came to the E4GT from the Mezmerize which had ICS on it not long after the source code dropped. Before I left it was pretty much fully functional, so I really missed ICS. I can deal with what's not working to have that sexy sandwich on my phone :D

Chrome I just started using 30 minutes ago or so, but besides the tabs not working properly and it not syncing (that's not fixed in the Alpha yet), the browser runs fast and is a huge improvement over the stock browser.

Here's some screener's of Chrome on the Alpha 1 -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
i'm not on CM9 right at the moment, but was wondering, how you get Chrome to download to your phone?

does the market recognize your phone as an ICS phone, and let you download it,. or, do you have to grab the .apk "somewhere else"?

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
Last I checked it's on the android market..?

EDIT: Just checked and it's only on android 4.0 devices. It's called Chrome Beta: https://market.android.com/details?...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbmRyb2lkLmNocm9tZSJd
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
The market recognizes my phone as an ICS device. I can't get it on my HC tablet and it wouldn't even install when I tried sideloading it, but it was right there in the market from CM9 :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dougiefresh36:
What a tease, and the bookmarks do sync I believe. "You need to be signed in to your desktop Chrome browser. Hit the little wrench icon that's about halfway down, and make sure you're logged in with your Google account.

Next you'll need to hit the "Advanced" button, right next to the "Disconnect your Google Account" button. Hit it, and you've got a bunch of options of what to sync. The option you want is "Open tabs."

Theoretically, you should now be able to see your open tabs on the Chrome app on your phone or tablet. Others have had to restart one browser or the other to get things to work, and hit the tab sync button a time or two. But once that's out of the way, the sync is quick and painless."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
EDIT: That did work! I had to actually sync the bookmarks and that's it, because I can't turn sync on for my whole account, just manually tap sync in the settings for bookmarks and it worked. Well, it's syncing now at least. We'll find out.

EDIT2: Nada, didn't work. Looking like it was syncing but failed again. I don't think the problem is because of Chrome, I think it has to do with the CM9 Alpha 1, I can't sync anything with it, can't even enable sync. So Chrome see's that the phone is disabled for syncing and doesn't do anything. No dice :(

Doesn't break text messages unless you don't flash it right.

As long as you make a NANDROID of your current setup, it won't break anything. It's very easy to install and a friggin awesome ROM. I love it and have been using it as my daily since 1/31 ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ophois:
I attempted to use it as my daily but I couldn't really do what I usually do with my phone; The music player and Ubermusic weren't recognizing all of my tracks and would randomly recognize some. After I had listened for a few it would skip to a song and refuse to play other songs.

Don't even get me started on the reboots. I'm curious as to exactly what you all are doing to get it that stable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
The reboots happen to everyone, it's part of running an alpha. It's not for everyone, but for me personally I deal with it. It doesn't happen often now that I've been running it for a week.

As for your music tracks, you didn't have them stored on an external SD did you? Because SD mounting doesn't work in this ROM, all your files have to be on the internal card.

Scott said an update was coming out this week hopefully, so some fixes may make it more stable for your uses.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I don't know if it has to do with being on OSX Lion, but, mine synced right up with my Chrome Bookmarks, and I verified that they work...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ophois:
It only really rebooted when I was switching channels in Andchat, otherwise it was fine. My music was on the internal; After first flashing the ROM none of it is recognized and after a reboot or two it recognizes a few of the tracks but after listening to it for about half an hour it stops the current song and refuses to play any of the songs that it played beforehand even though they are listed.

It may just be my phone being finicky; It's incredibly stable for an alpha. Once USB mounting+WiFi and Camera are working I'll use it as my daily. 3g is **** slow There needs to be a leak for this device for once instead of nothing but ones for the International GSII

Yellow Triangle...

Hey guys, I know that the discussion has been talked about a lot on getting rid of the yellow triangle.

BUT...

I know that we can use 'triangle away' app

or the jig(not sure about that one)

I am not comfortable using the triangle away app and don't have a jig at the moment. With that said, I was thinking about using SFHubs AutoRoot method.

I'm already on CM9 Alpha2 and running great. My question is,

Can I use SFHubs method to flash EL26CWM recovery?...then reboot into recovery and flash CM9A2 again?

Will this get rid of the annoying triangle?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
I run Badass Battery Monitor, CPU Spy, Better Battery Stats, and Battery Monitor Widget Pro all at the same time. I flip flop and System Panel, I've never gotten really useful data out of it.

Generally I use CPU Spy to make sure my phone is going into deep sleep when off, BBS to figure out why my phone isn't going to sleep based on what has wake locks, the built in battery app to check relative CPU for processes and again if I'm getting excessive wake locks, and Badass Battery to give me a profile of what's using power on a component scale.

With all that I can usually get 20-30 mAh as reported by Battery Monitor Widget when I have the screen off and idling, on wifi, with a decent signal. When I'm out and about I usually see draws closer to 100-150 mAh.

This is with Gmail and Exchange set to push and other services (twitter, g+) syncing in the background.

I too was getting terrible battery life back on pre-alpha 1 or 2, I removed a few apps, and in particular removed the Weather channel widget from my homescreen which stopped a lot of location wake locks.

Also I let the battery go to zero a couple of times because I had been seeing very fast drops but then it would level off or even go up at about 60% battery. Doing the full drain seems to have smoothed out the reported usage rate so now I get more gradual drains. It didn't improve battery life, just made it display more accurately. Could be what's happening with yours,.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I've used BMW pro alot in the past when maxing battery life on the evo 4g. However, I think our samsung battery doesn't have a registry that reports true mAh usage. I've asked the dev of BMW when I saw some strange readings and he confirmed that I'd have to use the approximate mAh setting with our battery. This approx setting only uses the mW used with the entered battery capacity to back-calculate mAh.

This was back in the end of last year, so perhaps its changed now. But it sounded like a hardware limitation. I love this app, but be careful with the mAh values.
