I just want to make sure I am not missing something regarding the flashing process. In the past I have always just backed up my apps with titanium then I wipe everything and flash the update, batch install with titanium then proceed to spend 10-15 minutes setting up my home screen again. Is there a faster way to restore the home screen? I hate doing that and it's what keeps me from updating my roms more frequently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kryptoniteman:
Try wiping cache and dilvak cache. That's what most people have been doing since beta0. If you have problems then you need to wipe everything and reflash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] davidh59:
Once you get Cm9 setup the way you wanted it you can just flash over it. I have not done a truly clean install since alpha one. It just keeps getting better!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rafosky:
:):):) Well I'm not a genius, but I have this Rom since the the first alpha and every time I upgraded to a new version I don't have to do all that. Since is an upgrade you don't have to wipe anything. Right now I'm using beta2 and it only took about 5 minutes to flash it.:D:D:D

edit: this is part of the instructions to upgrade if you already have CM9.

"Upgrades

Upgrades from previous versions of CM9 are the same process as install, except you do not need to wipe anything. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to even wipe cache and dalvik-cache when upgrading between CM9 versions. You only need to wipe if you are doing a major upgrade, switching to a different ROM entirely, or attempting to fix bugs caused by bad backups or corrupt app data."
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
Awesome! Didn't know I could dirty flash this but good to know. If I have problems then I will wipe everything.

Only scrubs play Akuma, lol. Do you have SSF4AE? PS3? I'd love to get some games against you homie!

On topic: Damn, the battery life of this ROM did improve. No longer losing like 10% in like 20 minutes. I'm still clinging on to my TW ROM, but man this thing is seriously about to be on my phone for good. (at least until the next update lol)

Go to titanium and backup trebachet. Restore apps after install. Then restore trebachet data only. It will put all your apps back on the homescreen

I can confirm that this latest update has completely fixed ALL of my audio issues, thank you CM9 devs!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sicclee:
ok so... since i flashed to beta2, i've noticed that any time there is a lot of white on the screen, i get multicolored horizontal lines moving up the screen (like what you would see through a video camera looking at an old crt monitor). it kinda looks like the refresh rate is messed up. it wasn't too bad, but then as i was playing draw something it got a lot worse. to the point that wide black lines were moving upwards on the screen.

this didn't happen nearly this bad on the stock rom or beta0/1. is it due to the update? is it a bad flash? is my phone's screen going out? has anyone had this happen on their epic?

I'm going to flash back to beta1 and see if i can reproduce the problem to that degree, but i wont be able to do it until tomorrow. I guess if it's a hardware problem im restore back to stock and send it in to sprint... just really strange it started going haywire after to flash to beta2.

edit: i read around a little and realized that brightness played a big part in this. has brightness changed at all in this release? if i keep the brightness down to half it doesn't happen at all (that i can see), and it seems if i then switch it back to full brightness, it still doesn't happen. maybe leaving full brightness on all the time is double plus ungood?

I still have a issue with the camera flash. It dose work, but I need to select "auto" or "on" before I use it.

ie if its set to a "on" and I open camera and take a pic, it will not fire flash... but changing setting to "auto" right before, will make it fire.

Anyone else??

I just flashed this this morning and am very impressed.

So far, everything necessary is working. Still no :-) on the hwkb, but that is the least of my worries. Only minor gui glitch is that the wifi signal bars aren't working. I can stand next to my router or be in the same room and I still get the same icon.

Haven't tried 4G yet.

Nice. After a reboot [that apparently used almost 40% of my battery] the signal bars now work. Yay.

I upgraded from the 4.04 test version to Beta 2 last night. But it seems I have no gps today. I have tried reinstalling and wiping data in the maps program but even GPS test and smart tool FC if they try to access the gps. Anyone have an idea?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Possible? Sure. Probable? Doubtful. TW ROMs are made specifically for our phone, while ICS is supposed to have better hardware specs than our phone currently has. Our devs have done an amazing job bringing CM9 to us as-is, and it keeps getting better.

However, I don't think we should expect battery life to be on par with ROMs that are specifically made for our phone while ICS is not.

Try opening google navigation. That has kick started GPS for me in the past.

If not, try downloading the zip again and reflash.

The camera flash is a known issue with the workaround of turning it on then back to auto.

Good luck!

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

I was having the same problem. Beta 2, flash would not work until I switched off and back to auto.

I cleared the data from the Camera App and the auto flash started working. Test and let me know if this works for you, also.

I'm willing to bet that those of us who upgraded to Beta 2, as opposed to a clean load, will need to clear Camera data before it will work. (Auto Flash is reported as working for Beta 2)

Max volume for everything is obnoxiously loud now. Games, ringtones, notifications, music, everything. Kinda wish the speaker volume hadn't been tampered with. It sounds like it's going to blow my speaker.
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
soooooo... don't set your volumes to max?.?.?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard, no offense. The rom is built for our phone. The max volume should be set to a hardware safe value that isn't going to damage anything. Now suddenly the same ringtone, notification, alarm, and music I've used since I bought the phone sounds like it's blowing my speaker? I shouldn't have to lower my volume, the max volume should just be set to what it's suppose to be.

Suggestions like yours ruin a good rom for those of us who give a **** about our devices. A good rom should just be done right. The increase in the volume is going to become more problematic and more of a hardware strain/safety issue than it's worth for the few people who felt their volume was lower. I've been using this since Alpha0 and the speaker volume was never any different from stock.

[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
Actually, mine sounds fine at max. I'm hard of hearing, so this is great. I appreciate that some would not want it that loud, though.

I would have to look at the specs for the speaker and audio output, but I doubt that it would cause hardware damage. Of course, it may in some cases, but you would experience similar hardware failures regardless of the volume settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Zeinzu, you of all people should know every phone is different. Speaker blowing sound might be on your phone but not everybody's. Mine is perfect now. It was way too low before and I always missed phone calls. The advice for you to turn yours down a little is sound advice (excuse the pun). No need to go off on the guy. It is possible the dev phone used to test this was similiar to my phone and not yours.

I used it all day in my truck and it worked flawlessly...phone calls, streaming music, etc etc, all worked without any hiccups.

Again, THANK YOU to all of the CM9 developers...beta 2 is phenomenal and a true work of art! I am loving using it! :D

Or you could NOT complain and be happy that your speaker works?

Oooooor submit a patch that fixes it :-) they like it when people help fix it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Volume settings absolutely can strain and damage the hardware.

Each phone is not that different. It's tiresome to constantly hear that excuse. Everything and every sound, ringtone, notification, and game I've tried now crackles the speaker at max volume. I should not have to not use max volume just to be certain I'm not going to blow my speaker.

The software? Yes, the software. The point isn't to knowingly stress hardware in a way it shouldn't be. Why do you think stock cm9 doesn't come with overclock?

If ya'll are fine with it, good. Make it a third party choice outside of the stock cm9 build so ya'll can blow your speakers and those of us who care can use cm9 without having to replace our phones.

[Epic 4G Android Development] wispoffates:
Volume levels on CM9 were raised to match that of FC09. while raising the volume had the potential to damage the speaker we have not gone above stock setting and should be just as safe.

[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Actually, CM9 beta2 restores the maximum audio volume to be identical to stock TW kernel. This is confirmed by mkasick comparing manually comparing the wm8994 registers. So this has nothing to do with pushing the limits. CM9 tries to maximize stability and safety.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Sounds fine maxed out on my phone. No cracking even with songs w/ mild to heavy bass.

Yes every part is different on every phone. Your speaker is not the same as my speaker. It could of been manufactured in a batch that doesn't like loudness.

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Why? You said every phone is not that different. So the devs should hear the crackle on their phone too. I guess my phone must be the freak phone then because the volume and quality exactly matches FC09 on mine. Sounds great. Thank you devs. Zeinzu I am sorry it is easier to complain and argue then to just turn your volume down a little.

I agree mine also matches up to fco9. I even played the heaviest whitechapel song I have; and it still had no buzz or distortion at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] incisivekeith:
Thanks for the comments/input on the flash issue. I cleared data for Camera and Flashlight, but without any positive result. Stresscheck still doesn't work on CM9, it seems.

On another note, how come we don't have the settings for various modes (night, ice, etc.) for pictures in Camera? Anyone?

It's a good ROM nonetheless.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Your rant could be without the few choice words. But you seem to be the only one complaining about the volume being to loud. Just saying it could just be your device speaker.

Could be your speaker was on the way out before you upgraded and that did it.

You are a very knowledgeable person but its already confirmed that the audio is a match to the newest stock build.

Just for the record....my volume levels on CM9 beta2 are perfect! Oh yeah, and I am not just talking about one phone here either. I own 6 Epic 4g's (ranging from 2 years old to a couple of months old) and they all are now on CM9 beta2 and ALL have perfect volume without any distortion what so ever.

First flash of B2 borked my system...flashed straight over beta 1....

Guessing it was a bad d/l maybe (didn't check the md5) but it screwed it up nice. Couldn't get to CWM even. Had to go in to download mode, and flash a stock rom, root, blah blah. Re-downloaded beta2 and restored my backup i made thankfully and flashed beta 2 on top of it...worked just fine. Weird, obviously not the rom i guess but just thought i'd throw that out there.

[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Lol that issue is to do with gapps not CM9. If you flash it at times it'll corrupt the present apps you have, our CM9 preserves gapps after each update, however flashing gapps when it's not needed can cause random dumb crap to occur.
