The way I read Bubby's tweets were that he already had an ICS/CM9 ROM working for the E4GT before Scott dropped his this morning, and that his has wifi, gps & bluetooth working. But he has never mentioned that before this morning AFTER Scott dropped the one we are all on. I find it very odd and if you are to believe he has those things working, you HAVE to know that he KANG'd the hell out of Team Hacksungs CM9 build, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
Bubby is pretty young and at 14 or any teen age you have to be impressed with his abilities, can't blame a guy so young for taking longer to dev. At 14 I couldn't remember to take the trash out before dropping my books and running to the gym to play ball.

Not jumping in to the middle of anything, just giving credit for his abilities at a young age. Honestly all of you guys are impressive to me for what you do and the willingness to share for FREE.

ICS Kernel?

I thought I saw something about using an older kernel and possible a CM7/MIUI subsystem in the dev thread. Does this mean that this ICS ROM is built on older stuff? If so, will that cause performance/compatibility issues (beyond the current expected alpha stuff)?

...Or were they just talking about getting the CWM recovery that gets bundled with it? After re-reading it, I'm still not sure what they were referring to.

FB contact sync

For all the people having Facebook syncing problems, I think there is an app called Contapps that syncs your facebook contacts to your phone. Idk if it will work on CM9, but it is said it works on ICS for the droidx.

How long was everybody's first boot? Mine went for 20 minutes so i decided to just go reflash...same result. Any help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
should take about 2 or 3 minutes.

are you suing a stock recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rizdog23:
Yeah i was on MIUI. Went on Rom Manager and made sure to flash cwm....went into recovery to flash...and here i am
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
I had that same issue, which CWM are you using? I installed the stock one (http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/Stock+Repack/EL26/)

After installing, I removed battery and booted up accessing CWM via the power/volume up buttons, only wipe the DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET

worked pretty quickly afterwards.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
There is an app called Hacksync or friendcaster that will sync facebook contacts.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
yes

no cwm untill steady gets to it :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Ehh. That's OK. There temp solutions I think that have been figured out in the other ICS thread. But really after you flash the build and Gapps you don't really need it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Screw cwm. it's the ROM I want ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Eh, I dealt with no CWM yesterday while playing with that TW build. I'm sure the fake flash Touch CWM will work like it did with that build. Besides, I don't plan on flashing much after this rom and gapps anyway. :D

Hmm, had an LOS during the first 5 minutes of flashing.. I'm not sure if my airave went down (I have zero sprint service at my house) or if it was a legitmate LoS. I'm thinking my network dropped momentarily. Will be leaving the house soon and will report further.

The first thing I tried to do was turn on 4G (again, I have no services) but I saw in the other thread and reading from the Dev post that turning on 4G appears to fix the LoS regardless of if you get 4G or not.. As soon as i click to enable 4G the phone restarts (not completely, just the boot animation plays). After this, when going back in to settings, 4G is still disabled. Can anyone successfully enable 4G with Alpha 3?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
After restarting the phone and attempting to turn 4G on again I got the same result... Except this time it was stuck in a boot animation loop and would not get back to the homescreen. After holding the power button down and restarting... I am now stuck in a COMPLETE boot animation loop! I see a glimpse of the lockscreen and then the animation starts over.

Unless you are adventurous, I would advise NOT attempting to turn 4G on... It could just be me... But now i'm totally ****ed and need to Odin to restore (No Rom Manager trick for SGSII trick for me). Not a huge issue but beware... I think I will be waiting for the FB15 version...

Just wipe in stock recovery

Sent from my Epic Galaxy S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
So, I flashed from Calk 2.7 with EL26 stock rooted kernel. It looked like I have some ACS version of CWM and followed the instructions to flash and now the phone won't get past the Samsung Galaxy S2 boot image. I'm able to get into the ICS recovery, but even wiping user data again doesn't move it from the boot image.

I'm assuming that at this point I need to ODIN to a different kernel/CWM combo (I have EG30 on my sd card) and then try to re-flash? Or did I do everything correctly and I'm missing something simple to get my phone to boot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dfox456:

4G is OFF by default and causes the system to reboot if you try to turn it on

i got sick of it all and just stayed on blazer rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I tried flashing again. I can't last more than five mins without getting LoS. Since 4G can not be turned on, I will most likely flash back to my MIUI nandroid and anxiously away for the new FB15 modem/kernel (if that fixes the issues) or for a 4G fix so that I can get around the issue. Thanks for the hard work everyone, will be watching this thread like a hawk still.

Just to ping on the GPS status.

It isn't working for me.

GPS Test and GPS Status apps both show GPS as being turned off.

I suspect that maps is using my cellular data to figure out where I am.

Also battery is still discharging fairly fast so I'm going to get an app to underclock it.

I came from CM7 where I didn't have GPS either. There the fix was to come from a TW rom with after you had locked in GPS once.

I suspect we have the same issue here?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alexthearmo:
Sbrissen, is this based off the 4.0 kernel?

I would like to know, because if flashing another kernel to get CMW would downgrade me from 4.0 kernel to 2.3, then I'd rather not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony67:
If you were using anything but a stock CWM then yes, it will not flash. By anything but stock I mean Rogue...ACS etc. By flashing the CM7 rom you essentially put a stock CWM back on your phone.

Guys I think before some of you less experienced flashers jump into the Alpha 3 you may need to actually read the OP and lurk around a few of the threads or maybe give this one a good reading through.
