I fired up my the updated fruit ninja, which magically became a choppy app for me. I didn't see much of a differnce, except the the background had a red overlay =]

That may be due to ChainFire. I've been trying to get the NightTime mode to work, to no avail.

One thing you could try is to install another launcher, press home key and load the new launcher - this will just give you an enivronment free of widgets (if of course you have any running currently). then run that game again to see if there is a difference.

then just set your preferred launcher as the default again.

Just an idea

Hello,

I just started using CM9 and I can't seem to find where I can modify the time out values for the backlit keys. Is there anyway I can get this to be insync with the screen? I know the notes say it was changed to save battery, but I'd like to have them stay insync with the screen.

4g / WiMax signal boost (lower required strength)

I can get the data programming menu to come up by dialing *#*#3282#*#*

I can access the "view" menu, however even viewing WiMax requires MSL, and when I enter my MSL I get a system pop up:

"Modem Error" is the title

"Modem exception occurs" is the message

"Yes" is the only option

clicking Yes goes back to previous menu... I got my msl using "getprop ril.MSL" and "get prop | grep MSL" ... both gave the same 6 digit number...

is this a bug with a solution??? or is there a work around??

I'm on the edge of 4g coverage.. and i'd like to lower the minimum signal strength required to connect (WiMax EntryRX value) as mentioned in the "Want better 4g signal" thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925898

EDIT: I am able to use *#*#(your msl)#*#* which is for service menu, to get to "Terminal Mode" is there a way I can use the terminal to adjust the WiMax signal values???

Also, I read somewhere about the MSL causing a 'modem error' because of a setting that should be set to 'pda' instead of 'modem' - something to do with acessing the ##DATA# (##3828#) menu - if that makes sense to anyone?

I'm not sure there is any other way to do this? can anyone help me out?

One thing you could try is to use the SD Card EL30 ROM

boot to EL30 and attempt your dialer code. It may not be persistant but worth a try.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madnoir:
I was excited when I saw that CM9 was available for Epic, and it looks great but I'm having nothing but problems on my phone. My GPS isn't working, a number of different apps are crashing or not even working, I've had to pull the battery to shut it down several times since I flashed it on Tuesday and I go through 70% of the battery in four hours with the phone just sitting in my pocket. I know that it's still beta but it seems like it's working well for everyone else, so I imagine I did something wrong but I don't even know where to start, I'll probably try reflashing it when I have the time this weekend. I flashed to this from stock and I'm running EL30.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
I would download the zip again and make sure your also download the gapps zip and flash that right after flashing the CM9 zip (no booting in between).

Don't restore anything but call log and texts (sms/mms), then setup your apps manually. This will ensure no bad data from a restore can corrupt your install.

Good luck and it really is well worth it!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madnoir:
Just tried it, downloaded from a different mirror on the CM9 blog. I already had an issue with the gapps the first time (it had gone straight from flashing the rom to booting, didn't give me a chance to flash gapps, so I cleared everything and tried again).

The only way that I had anything restored was through Google and I'm not sure how that would be any different than downloading the apps manually, but this time I made sure the phone didn't do it and nothing has changed, my GPS still won't work, it just sits at the "Google Maps Navigation" screen.

erratic 3g on 4.0.4

I hope this is in the right place. Ive been using this forum for a long time now but rarely post as most of my issues are able to be solved with some digging. That said, this one has me stumped and im not finding anyone else posting with the same issue. I have been on cm9 since alpha and for the most part i love it. when i decided to go from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 i carefully read and followed the tips as best i could. I downloaded appbak and created a back up, I then booted into recovery and did a nandroid backup (praise be to he who suggested that). I then wiped everything and flashed the update and then the gapps flash as well. I didnt allow googles back up service to run but instead loaded link2sd and set it up and then appbak and manually reinstalled my apps. However, i have a bit of a problem with my 3g signal. It radomly goes off and on and i cant seem to find out where the problem is. Any ideas? Also, not sure if this is related or not but the wifi signal i was using to reinstal everything was running at a speed of 3.5 (ish) according to speednet whil on my friends iphone the same signal at the same spot was consistantly hitting speeds of 11.5. What gives? I hate iphones...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Have you confirmed that it is not a network issue in your area? I always make a nandroid backup then Odin back to stock to test it. If everything is good there, then I Odin cwm5 in with reboot unchecked, pop battery out and in, 3 finger to CWM and flash the ROM (CM9 and gapps in your case). Now I would check it again. If all is good, manually set your phone back up because data is corrupted somewhere on your backup.

As for the speedtest on wifi...I believe speedtest writes a file to your sd card on the dowload speed test and our stock card is really slow compared to writing to phone memory on the iphone...someone please correct me if I am wrong on this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
In addition to what Kenny suggested

You can also just use the FC09 MultiBoot setup; to boot FC09 from your SD card without having to odin back to stock. You can just temporarily boot into stock using this method and test somethings out.

then turn your phone off and back on and you're back in CM9.

Use this thread to get it going:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1464791

(if you get a FC message about phone, just select wait. This may happen on the first boot because ROMs booting from the SD card are really really slow on their first boot. it will be fine though. just give it time)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
Sounds like a bad flash or a bad restore of data.

I'd download the cm9 zip again (use a different mirror),

copy it to the phone

boot to CWM

wipe everything (factory data reset, partition cache and dalvik cache)

flash CM9

flash Gapps (gapps version 20120317)

boot and login with your google account

let it sync contacts and wait for market to update to play store

then try these things you're trying to do. If you don't have any issues then boot to CWM, make a backup, then restore your data (not system data just apps) and see if things work for you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strizzle2:
Okay... I hate to say this but it fixed itself. After your reply,, I took out the battery and the SD card. I plugged the SD card in my pc to download the files again as you suggested. Once downloaded I reinserted. I tried to but in to clockwork, but for some reason it just rebooted as normal. So I clicked the power button, then reboot, then selected recovery.

I've seen other users have an issue with google maps; they ununstalled it and downloaded it from the play store (I've seen this on other roms as well, don't think it is a CM9 issue) and it cleared their issue.

Kernel, theme?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StoneRyno:
Before going that route I'd recommend doing a factory reset (aka wipe) then using odin to go back to stock ROM. See qbking77 howto video for details. Install the problematic apps and see if everything is normal. If so then there is likely nothing wrong with the device (hardware). Then do a factory reset again. And then take the steps needed to be able to and flash CM9 again. Make sure to check the zip files are not corrupt with the md5. This should prevent the problem from occurring again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
Nothing, all I ever did with it was flash a different boot animation (from the epiccm.blogspot website) and the data speed increase from the front page of the android development section for the Epic, which I know didn't effect it because it was happening before I flashed the data speed increase.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
I'd use the temp boot to FC09 and see if it happens running it.

Go to here: http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html

and go down to the download area and follow the steps.

Boot to FC09 and wait a while; it will run REALLY slow because its running from the sd card. When its all done booting and scanning, try to go to the same pages to compare your experience.

If it still happens you may have a hardware issue.

If not perhaps a bad flash of CM9; I'd download from a different mirror. Wipe everything, make sure of the md5 (use the FAQ found in my signature to do that) flash CM9 and the GAPPS; login to google and sync your contacts and do nothing else. Do not restore data or apps and try what you've been doing.

If it doesn't happen then some restored app or data is causing the issue.

If it does; please go here:

Not exactly a "support" question, but just curiosity: does the new CM Theme chooser, in any way, affect existing themes and their installation? or does this expedite the process?

Also, does the theme development process change in any way because of this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

[PS: I'd kinda like to design a theme, but I need some support on the technical side, if anybody with experience is interested in creating one! Not sure if this is okay to post, so if not, edit at will.]
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes. very different. The theme chooser uses a theme that is an apk that it morphs the stock systemui and framework into the theme. If you flash the older themes they are replacing the stock systemui and framework files. This could have an affect on being able to use the theme changer.
