Well, I understand that. Didn't mean to state it that way.

When I first downloaded RC1, I used followed the instructions to get VVM back on the Epic and (besides the text message thing) it worked great.

After RC2, the app is still on my homescreen, "Sprint" is still selected as my carrier under "Voicemail Service" (can't seem to deselect that), but I can't get it to work for me. Its a known issue on the CM site and G+ page, but only the gapps portion seemed to be answered. I was just seeing if anyone's found a solution to this yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
You have to re-flash it just like gapps. For some reason RC2 isn't backing up any apps in system not included in the rom.

Nothing in my setup has changed, but last night my system stayed active the entire time since I had taken it off the charger at full charge to go to bed. Lost 25% battery in 7 1/2hrs of standby. RC2, seems to have fixed itself after a reboot. "Only" happened last night though.

It a problem that lies a little deeper. For some reason, no mp3 can be played by opening the individual file, such as in Root Explorer. The problem is the voivemail is an mp3 and can't find the application to open. Several of us have mentioned the problem on the Google + page but they haven't acknowledged the issue.

What did you edit the nandroid.md5 with? its the 4th line "md5 goes hear recovery.img" that line. So you used a md5 program on your PC to find the md5 hash of the recovery.img backup file from the cm9rc2 nandroid & put that md5 hash in to the nandroid.md5 text file of the rc1 nandroid? that did not work:confused::confused::confused:

Did not work for me with RC1. It is now working for me on RC2. I did not wipe anything but cache and Dalvik. I simply flashed RC2 and gapps. I guess what that probably means is YMMV.

I'm sure there's plenty of factors that make your phone different than mine, but I'm at a 30% loss after 2hrs. Its always been that way. Even more so after I blindly followed the "erase battery stats" suggestion...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
"Erase battery stats" doesn't, never has, and can't possibly ever have any affect on your battery life, good or bad.

Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 RC2 ANDROID 4.0.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
But it has, from what I've seen. I mean, I did flash RC2 at the same time, and thought it was its fault until I read the thread warning not to erase batt stats.

Granted, the conversation within basically said, it doesn't matter, they'll get back up to speed. But for the past week, it hasn't been fun. Even with a spare battery always in my pocket. When I first "converted" to CM9, last week (RC1) I felt my phone was seeing the best battery life ever. (I could never figure out how others were lasting a full day, data on, without problems)

So, it could be a number of factors, but once again, I'm wondering what I'm doing differently than people like Zeinzu...

Any idea if the Epic CM9 team is working on getting all 8 motion sensors or the camera flash properly working? So far that's pretty much the only flaw I've seen in RC1 (aside from Apollo, which I removed and restored stock Music from Beta 3)

In my attempt to help I found this: here. First time I seen it and it caught me off guard. I literally lol'ed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
Just over the weekend, I found an apk for the "Camera ICS+" which has a little more utility to it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.cameraicsplus&hl=en

And man, this phone is real sensitive with its motion sensing already. Put it down on a slightly uneven surface and, whoop 90-180degree flip! lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pyperkub:
I couldn't see the difference between Camera ICS+ and Camera ICS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The phone can only be as sensitive as its most sensitive sensor - if it only had two sensors, with the same sensitivity, it wouldn't get twice the sensitivity... it would just have redundant sensor data that it could use to filter out erroneous sensor feedback.

In other words, more sensors won't make the phone more sensitive, but they could make it more accurate
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
I bet it will help the compass
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonsf:
I believe the only difference is that one is ad supported.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeEx:
Our sensors worked just fine before Froyo. Samsung goofed somewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if switching these two sensors would fix the jumpiness in AUG apps (skymap, street view with compass, yelp!).

I really don't know what I'm talking about here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
What app is that?

Rocking cm9
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeEx:
Sensor List.

There is also a neat app by the same developer called Camera Info that shows camera capability and tests shutter lag and image compression time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
One correction - Samsung had nothing to do with anything Cyanogenmod, so it is impossible for them to have "goofed" anywhere in this rom. If they had been involved, they could have made a lot of things easier for the EpicCM team by providing proper source code. They didn't, so the CM developers had to figure this stuff out at least in part through trial and error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeEx:
I didn't mean to imply that SAMSUNG had anything to do with cyanogenmod, but that they did goof with the sensors at some point in the epic's life to seriously degrade it's accuracy and the affects are still lingering.

(added speculation: depending on where the sensor libs source code came from, samsung can still be at fault/)

Since EpicCM team is now building the sensor libs from source, we might have the opportunity to improve the accuracy/smoothness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I get what you're saying. I just wasn't aware of the same sensor issues on stock, but to be fair I haven't touched a stock rom for more than 5 minutes in almost two years ;)

Isn't this still CM9?
[Epic 4G Android Development] shawndoc:
I've got the same problem. I've cleared gallery data, and it makes no difference. I don't sync photos with Picasa. I just select photos and choose to upload them. Worked fine on the stock ROM, but has never worked for me on RC1.

The problem appears to be something in the upload app. When uploading to Picasa it often hangs and needs to be FC'd. Works fine for uploading to Google Drive. I'm guessing there's something wrong in the Picasa code.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
Anyone that came to CM9 from CleanGB want to share their thoughts on the differences? I am thinking of flashing CM9 but I am hesitant to give up the stability.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
I tried going back to CleanGB after trying out a few CM9 betas. I didn't last very long on CleanGB before I had to flash the next CM9 beta when it came out.

CM9 RC1 is stable and has great battery life if set up correctly (turn off LED notifications for one). I can't squeeze the bat life out of CM9 that I did out of CleanGB, but I live with it due to the feature set that CM9 affords.

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

While running Google Maps nav in the car with the 4G radio on, CM9 RC2 is crashing and rebooting after driving for about 10 minutes. This has happened to me twice.

I once saw a pop up message that WeatherBug had stopped responding just before the phone rebooted.

I'm going to try a nightly and report back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
Thanks for the reply. That is kind of a drag that you have to turn LEDs off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
I was hardcore cleangb since day 1. Been on cm9 rc1 for a few weeks now. Totally impressed with battery life and still have led's on. Had a few crashes during deep sleep on charger and alarm needed battery pull to stop, but at least it woke me up.

Think I'm gonna hang with cm9 at least until toad makes it back. So far so good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
What would you say CM9 does different or better than CleanGB - is it overall faster, smoother?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
Its hard to beat CleanGB for its smoothly - quickness. CM9 is about equal now though. The ICS versions of many apps I like better. Gmail, maps is better. Lots of little things.

Make a nandroid backup of your CleanGB setup and give CM9 a whirl. Worst that happens is you don't like it and you can restore your backup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] davidh59:
Just curious does this still work since we got the new CWM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
I came from CleanGB and the only major difference I've noticed is just a few hours less of battery time with CM9. The eye-candy from ICS roms are nice. The stability is about the same but I don't run a ton of apps and ****. Just have it OCd to 1.2 ghz. I still think I prefer MIUI over CM9 so I'm waiting on that.

Bluetooth (UPDATED 7/29)

I don't know if anybody else thought of this or not, so if somebody did, sorry. :)

Anyway. The bluetooth instability in this rom and the way it wouldn't connect if the screen wasn't on drove me crazy. I decided to try copying the Bluetooth.apk file from the FC09 deodexed system/app folder and replacing the one in CM9.

It worked, beautifully. Now I have normal bluetooth interaction and connectivity that I wasn't getting before.

Use Root Explorer

Mount /system/app for Read/Write

Delete (in CM9) /system/app/Bluetooth.apk

Paste Bluetooth.apk from Stock Deodexed FC09

Fix Permissions (should be rw-r--r-- or just use rom manager or cwm to fix permissions)

Reboot

Thanks,

Josh

Will your bluetooth headset connect to the phone if the screen is off when you turn on the headset?

What if you press the button on the bluetooth headset to end a call when the screen is off?

[Epic 4G Android Development] SirLeto:
Does it work that way in stock though? This would probably drain the battery. When the screen is off, the phone goes to sleep. To monitor bluetooth, the phone would have to be a awake all the time, killing the batttery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I would assume only if bluetooth is on, or possibly even only when it's active. These features work on stock and even CM7. I was always able to end a call with the screen off or connect with the screen off. Having to run back into the other room to end a call when I have a bluetooth is insanely annoying.

hey, good find. I'll try to do this. I'm using mw600 bluetooth and yes, it has unable to connect issues, and when not playing music and screen off, the bluetooth button isn't working correctly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshdv:
Yes, that's the stock behavior. The files I grabbed are from the stock deodexed FC09 ROM. It works that way on everything except CM roms.

CM7 was a little wonky for me, that's why I figured it out. I copied the bluetooth APKs to CM7 first and then decided to try it on CM9. Worked on both for me.

Yeah, that whole bluetooth thing was why I was avoiding the CM roms. But now I have CM7.2 and CM9 in nandroid backups and I need to decide which I like better now. :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] breakinyoankelz:
Hrmm something interesting (well more like unfortunate) started happening after I went from beta 4 to RC1. My phone now starts to soft reboot randomly, sometimes while using Navi and sometimes when it is doing nothing at all. Another issue I ran into is the phone screen refusing to light up when pressing the power button once. I then try to slide the screen up and a really low brightness lock screen will pop up but it will be completely unresponsive, and I am forced to pull the battery from the back in order to restart the phone. I wiped cache, data, and davlik when switching to RC1. Never had any of these problems before RC1. Any ideas of suggestions of how to resolve this? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lord Syrics Jr.:
Ok guys, I know this issue is as old as the ROM but I did have a quick question on it. I noticed AOKP has fb integration as a feature. I am about to flash it to try. I have always been under the impression the ROMs were similar (both being ICS and all.) Is this incorrect thinking on my part? If not, will RC2 possible have it?

On a second note, I noticed on CM9 pages they say a warning about RC2 but I can't seem to find the flash for the life of me. I have no problem doing a full clean install per what the warning says.

Thanks guys and sorry for the n00b-ish questions

CM9 RC1 has been pretty stable for me but these are the things that have bugged me coming from CleanGB:

1. The Camera has problems. Autofocus doesn't work well, especially in low light, and there are flash timing issues. I"m looking for better camera options.

2. ICS Mail has lost some Exchange functionality - Out of Office settings are gone, and I've heard that Sent messages don't sync to the exchange server, and that there may be issues with signatures. This seems to be ICS-wide. Not sure why those features got dropped.

3. Bluetooth for me needed a couple of reboots to work as expected, but now it's working well. Problems included forgetting connections and having a non-effective default MAC address - all of which are fine now, no reflashing or anything else, just a couple of reboots.

4. There is some sluggishness periodically. Not sure if I need to overclock, or if there's some sort of memory leak type of operation going on.

That's all I've got so far in a couple of weeks.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Your "fix" does not work. All you essentially did was delete Bluetooth.apk, because you never changed any of the apk's permissions, so it's as if they are not there. I tried adding the apk's and after setting proper permissions I got bluetoothservice has stopped in an endless cycle. Had to re-flash RC2. Deleting/replacing made no difference anyway. I tried once without changing the permissions and it still won't hang up from bluetooth with screen off.

Josh,

I'm sad to say that I followed your instructions to the letter and when I rebooted, I also found myself stuck in an endless sequence of "BluetoothServices has stopped" notifications. I had to pull the battery and restore a backup. Is there anything else you can think of that you might have did to get his to work? Are you positive the files in that .rar file are the same ones in your CM9 installation? BTW, what version of CM9 did you do this with?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I went with completely stock AOSP 4.1.1 and it's worth it a thousand times over.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshdv:
The only thing I might have done otherwise was to delete the app data from Titanium Backup. I wasn't on a fresh install though either. I should try from a fresh install and see what happens and update my message after I fix my fix. Did it actually work for anybody else?

That's awesome! Let me know if you still feel that way in a few days. I switched to the Photon for a few days because I love the hardware, and the combo of GSM/CDMA tech built into the phone. But of course Motorola ****ed it up and reminded me why I like Samsung so much. Who the hell puts locks and disabling features on an open source phone? Motorola. Morons.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

I think I figured it out. The other 4 files might be useless. Just try replacing Bluetooth.apk and fix the permissions and it should work.

Here's what I did to test it today:

Triple Wipe

Installed CM9 RC2

Installed gapps 20120429

rebooted

disabled location and gps

connected on wifi

installed root explorer from play store

multi-selected bluetooth files from sdcard

permissions on sdcard are ---rwxr-x

Bluetooth.apk in system/app permissions are rw-r--r--

deleted Bluetooth.apk in system/app

pasted 5 bluetooth files (permissions not changed)

rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions (I know how to set permissions in root explorer, I did it this way to make sure nothing else was weird)

Bluetooth.apk in system/app permissions are rw-r--r-- again

The other 4 files are still ---rwxr-x

Deleted the 4 files, rebooted, and Bluetooth.apk still works better. So I guess the other 4 files aren't needed.

Short story long, hopefully this should work for everybody now with just the Bluetooth.apk. I updated my original post, let me know if this works for you now.

Thanks,

Josh
[Epic 4G Android Development] davedsbca:
Thanks for the update. Replacing just the Bluetooth.apk does indeed work better (doesn't get stuck in an endless sequence of errors) but unfortunately it doesn't fix my Bluetooth problems either. If the phone is asleep it still won't respond to my car kit or Sony Smartwatch unless I hit the phone's power button and turn the display on first, even with the FC09 Bluetooth.apk. I also tried copying in BluetoothOpp.apk and BluetoothPbap.apk as well (and fixing their permissions) to see if that made any difference, but it didn't.

Random complaint here, but has anyone else on RC2 had rotation blow up constantly and flip to the keyboard rotation without touching the keyboard and then not going back?
