You are alive!

Maybe you accidentally pressed the settings button (or held, I forget and am not on cm9) in the status bar which toggles them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Yeah, I've just been focused elsewhere for a bit.

Ahh, naturally I'd assume that'd be the case, but this is more like an elongation of the blank slab of the notification bar. It'll pop up, and it'll disappear, but there seems to be no obvious reason behind it, I'll clean flash again and see what happens if all else fails.

Someone said this has to do with BetterBatteryStats. I haven't tested if uninstalling it will fix the problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Ello my friend. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. :) It's much appreciated, I don't have better battery stats installed but any help is a step in the right direction most definitely.

I did see that once... But a reboot and reapplying of the theme fixed and haven't seen it since.

Every time I kill the launcher via back button they come back
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
First thing I tried, and tried it a few times. The built in function returns the error "Failed to retrieve account information". I tried logging into my account again, clearing the gallery and resyncing picasa photos. I even tried a 3rd party app (picasa tool), which worked last week, and now doesn't. I guess I'll try a wipe and see if a clean install works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Thank you. Fixed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
Anyone else having a problem where the SD card is abruptly not read? This has happened to me several times, since the beta roms. My first assumption was that my card was going bad, but now it has happened with 2 different cards, so I am starting to think there is a hardware problem with the phone. But I am just checking here to see if anyone has any suggestions as to settings in the Rom that might be causing it that could be changed. I doubt it, but I am grabbing at straws before I turn in the phone!

As I said, the phone will suddenly stop reading the card, apps that have been moved there will start giving me error messages. Usually rebooting the phone will fix it, but that's a bit of a pain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
So I've spent all day (at work) trying to figure this out. On a clean install, picasa uploads from the gallery work fine. Then I install all my random software, still ok. It's not until I set up my gmail via exchange with the built in mail app that things stop working. I don't have the gmail app installed. So, I tried wiping it and just doing the gmail exchange setup, and it looks that that is the culprit. Anyone want to give me some ideas of what I can do to trouble shoot / fix this issue? Is anyone else having this issue? Can someone try it on their phone and see if you get the same behavior?
[Epic 4G Android Development] offtohavasu:
My fiancé's epic is doing this as well on CM7. A new card didn't fix it either. Maybe she'll get my Epic and I'll get the GIII.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonsf:
I've been having that happen a lot. And not just in RC1. In the later betas, too. Sometimes opening the keyboard and closing it seems to help. Is the notification panel part of the launcher? Or is it a separate piece of code? Just wondering if Trebuchet is at fault here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dubhead:
I too have experienced this recently. I had nearly filled up the main phone memory with apps and began moving some to the microSD card last night. All seemed well after freeing up about 120MB of main program memory, but today I noticed after a reboot that the SD card was not scanned (as you mentioned) right after boot and only after a few successive reboots did it actually read the card. I am using Launcher Pro not Trebuchet as my Launcher so I thought it might have been related to how that application starts (if it indeed starts up before others) that may interfere with the microSD card scan. Any idea how to manually force a read of the microSD card to not have to reboot and pray? Obviously this may be some type of bug as I know my microSD card is good to go (freshly formatted prior to ROM install).

So... about that CM10...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Exactly what I was thinking. I wonder how much of the CM9 team's effort will help port Jelly Bean.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
Same here it would be awesome to see.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I would be quite impressed if this happened. Although, I don't think I would be able to hold out that long as I'm sure it would be a few months until something usable came out, right?

They said the Nexus S would get JB, so I would think our hardware specs could handle it. They have the same around of RAM in their phone if I remember right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
4.1 isn't hugely different step wise, compared to GB to ICS, so it'd probably not be too much work, but that's being optimistic lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Optimism is a good thing :fingers-crossed:
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
If. Remember correctly drivers were a big hurdle. Hopefully the work that has been done on cm7 and 9 eliminates that hurdle.

Anyone got a good link on 4.1 info? Been gone today and missed all the nexus 7, nexus Q, and 4.1 info.

[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
If this phone would be able to run 4.1 it would be "EPIC" and no other phone can claim that muhaha once upon a time a little phone called EPIC was born with 2.1, then aged to 2.2, eventually it grew up to be a teenager(2.3), and now it has become an adult (4.0), now i think it deserves to die in peace with 4.1 being old,

We can say that it died being truly "EPIC".

I believe this can run 4.1 quite efficiently.. I installed windows 7 ultimate on a computer with an old Intel cpu clocked at 3.0 ghz and only half a gig of ram and it wasn't so bad possibly better than xp once most of the services were disabled.. so I believe this can run jelly bean
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
The 3.0 kernel port should help as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
I too am excited about JB, but perhaps it's not very respectful to be all gaga about this, on the heels of the RC1 release, in the thread created by the devs that brought us CM9.

Here is the place to be thankful for the wonderfully stable CM9 code that we're all running on our 22 month old phones.

Did anyone else lose touch and lockscreen sounds after updating?

I went from Nightly 618 to RC1. Had to reset data to get it back.

Does anyone know why the lockscreen shortcut icons seem larger on RC1 than on the Betas? Am I missing a setting or are my eyes going bad?

Fantastic build by the way! I rarely post much because I've had no issues with CM9. Thanks to all that made this possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cresny:
I lost them too, but I'm not sure when it happened. Camera sound as well. I had to also uncheck Google backup because it kept restoring the faulty setting, whatever it was. I have them back now though it seems to me they are much more faint after RC1.

Anyone having radio issues? In areas where I normally have 2-3 bars I'm getting none and/or signal completely shut off and I'm missing calls. Is there a radio I can flash to increase strength or any other solution?

Also MMS are being delayed by minutes sometimes hours...

Thanks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It may not be radio issues - do you know any other Sprint customers in your area? Are they having any network issues?

Every phone on my family plan has been having issues for the past several days, and apparently it is because of system maintenance and tower upgrades... we're in the vicinity of Denver, Colorado (I've noticed reports of this trouble in different regions over the past several weeks, guess it's our turn... great timing, too - the best time to lose cell coverage is when your state is on fire...)

Well, it will be another 485438787339 years before you can confirm your issue... get back to us upon confirmation, okay? ;)

Ridiculous exaggeration makes your complaint seem ridiculous - do us all a favor and don't be a drama queen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] euphgirl:
My husband isn't having any issues, and it just started after I flashed this ROM. I woke up this morning and missed 3 calls cause I have no signal. Couldn't call out or send MMS which is a BIG issue since it's my primary.

I did check and to my knowledge we have no tower issues. Thank you and hope you are out of danger with all the fires
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
I have been working on this for about a week now. I have identified all that needs to be done at this point, and have started the work on the main CM9 framework. It's been a task for me, as I'm learning Java as I go along, and I never really intended to learn Java.

To answer your question, the s3c-kaypad.kl interprets the keycodes sent from the kernel level for the physical keys themselves. The s3c-keypad.chm is the character mapping that allows us to assign the secondary alt characters for those keys; ie, the # symbol when you press Fn+3.

The problem is that the custom framework needed to implement our smiley, and .com keys, was never put into the main CM source. I thought it was going to be easy at first, since I have gotten the sym and .com keys to work on the phone (with a custom CM9 build), but I found out that there is more to do, to get it done right.

This affects any CM9 device with a keypad, not just ours.

In a nutshell, the following needs to be accomplished:

1) Add custom key character map codes to CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base. Several files need editing for this. These codes would be reserved for custom key mapping.

2) Add the www/.com code to the same repo, which was discarded in CM9.

3) Take the smiley input dialog from the mms app, and transplant it into the main framework, so that it can be accessed by keycode, to be used outside the mms app

4) Have all the above changes pass gerrit review by the rest of the CM team

5) Modify the epicmtd keylayout and keycharacter map files to enable the new key functions

6) I want a preference to be able to switch the keylayout in the android settings, because the current mapping is more suitable for developing from the epic keypad, while the stock key mapping is better for general public.

Anyways, this could take me a bit :) Maybe it'll make you feel better that we're working on it :)

You can use Stock FC09 from your SD Card (its a bit slower because it is running from the sd card so be patient with it) to test your phone's reception, without having to redo your phone on another rom.

visit here and go down to download and go through the how to use instructions.

[Epic 4G Android Development] euphgirl:
Thank you. Once I do this does it go back to the ROM I'm running or do I have to reflash that?

I just read that you reboot to return to ROM. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
The best bet is to odin back to stock, root, redownload the ROM (in case it was bad download) and reflash. While on stock check it to make sure it is not hardware. Also update prl and profile while on stock.

Text messages.

Is anyone else having trouble with text messages showing up as scrambled characters. I am on RC1. If I send a text with more than 160 characters I get nothing but gibberish back. Thanks for any and all replies.

Dude really split the messages how many times do people have tell people this???

In Messaging app, hit menu button, split the messages simple as that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wickedclown691:
No title needed.

Wow, maybe before we get all quick with our replies we should check our methods. That option has been removed for a bit now as I recall. The Devs set it as an automatic thing so people would quit asking how come my messages are all screwy. The only option when it comes to splitting now is the option to show the numbers such as 1/2 or 2/2 on multiple messages so the receiving end would know what order the said messages should be read in.

Yes I am using the stock messaging app and no themes. I am not asking as in I dont know how to do it. I was asking because as this is a new problem for me.

I have a custom ringtone set for my wife. About 75% oof the time she just rings as the default for everyone else. The other 25% her assigned ringtone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
When JB source is released, and CM itself integrates JB, then CM devices have a chance of JB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It is probably because her ringtone is on your sd card and if it cannot see it fast enough it goes to the default ringtone. You may need to reformat your sd card (after backing it up).

I don't know why, but it gets on my nerve when people refer to mtd as a partition. MTD is a partition map. On MTD you can create partitions of the nand such as /system /data and /cache.

I had a similar problem before and it was solved by upgrading the modem. I'm on FC09 now with no problems. Check if your modem (baseband) is older than that, and use odin to upgrade it if needed.

So far I only know what I've learned from java course while getting my degree. I've not had any success in finding a job in programming yet. And am trying to mess with stuff like apps and whatnot as continued learning. Which is why I was looking into this particular thing.

Ah this makes more sense, I guess I wasn't really understanding what those files did exactly.

Interesting, I would really like to know more about this as you go or when you're done. As I would like to use that to learn more about java and android. Even though I've learned a lot in all the college courses, I'm discovering how little that is compared to working with existing projects like a ROM or a complex app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
Thanks kenny. So when does the actual shift from BML to MTD get done? The CWM topic specifically mentions it's not intended for use with MTD and yaffs2 - does the rom flash itself change the partition map and file system, not cwm?

Odd little things

I'm gonna try another download and flash to be sure it's not just my device, but I figured I'd share some weird little things about my first 24 hours with RC1.

I started (last night)with stock FC09 on a factory refurbished phone (yes, it's the OG Epic) I had just gotten to replace my broken one. I rooted, installed CWM 5.0.2.7, wiped data, cache, dalvik, then flashed RC1. First odd thing happened immediately when the ROM booted before asking me if I wanted to reboot system from CWM (before allowing me to flash gapps). The boot animation freaked out a bit on this boot too. So I went back into recovery and installed gapps. Everything seemed ok. This afternoon Trebuchet stopped a couple times and then I couldn't open any apps. I went to reboot and it got stuck on the boot animation, so I pulled the battery. Booted fine. A few hours later I was having the app problem again and rebooted with battery at 33% and after reboot was at 6%. Turned the screen off, got a text a bout 2 minutes later, turned screen on...battery at 8%. Two minutes later, battery at 10%, then 12%...lol If the ROM is charging my battery I may have to overlook the other quirks and run with it the way it is!

So, I'm gonna try another download/clean install and see how that works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrEpic:
Quick question....first of all..love the rom and whether or not themes work or not..i do not care...im keeping it lol..but when a theme does not work and you get that "compiled" message, is it my fault...or is it really the devs fault and do we really need to contact them or do they know? Thanks in advance..once again...awesome rom!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
I remember a while back (maybe a month ago?) hearing there wouldn't be a release candidate for the Epic 4g until the signal threshold perfectly matched stock roms, or something along those lines, but I never saw it mentioned in release notes or changelogs.

Am I just remembering incorrectly, or has this been addressed?

The work around that is suggested in various forums is to switch to the default theme, reboot, then switch to theme that had the 'compiled' error.
