Try flashing the latest nightly over your setup
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshdv:
Yeah, it's annoying. It turns out that the 4 files are ok to install, just don't install the brcm file. See if that works better for you. I don't use anything but a headset, so I have nothing else to test.

CM is annoying with the bluetooth stuff. There's other stuff going on that interferes with it. I'm going to try and figure more of it out when I have time.

Thanks,

Any chance CM9/10 might add MHL support for the Epic 4G? It's available on other Galaxy S/S2 based phones, so I'd hope it could be added to this phone.

kernel question

I loaded Samurai kernel onto my phone with a different ROM and I hate it. If I install RC1 will that change the Kernel I'm running? and if not, would it be best to return my phone to stock, and then move forward with this ROM?

Yes installing cm9 rc1 will change your kernel to the CM kernel.

on my other phone, I currently have Beta 4 installed. Will I need the latest GApps or can I just apply the ROM update and be on my merry way?

thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
IMO, it is always a good idea to reflash gapps after flashing the latest CM9 build.

Latest version: gapps version 20120429 can be dl'ed HERE

It is not always needed, but when it is, it will break things if you dont reflash it

I saw notes that CM9 RC2 required a reflash, but CM9 RC1 did not.

Personally, I always reflash gapps after I flash any version of CM9, just to be on the safe side
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
The one GUI problem I see after running rc1 for just over a month, When I turn on my phone out of sleep, some times the dropdown will only say sprint & have no switches no nothing only "sprint" the way I fix it is by turning the phone 90 & when it flips they all come right back. Then you can rotate the phone back & its all fine.

I saw someone in the "why don't you use cm9" thread talking about the same thing.

I would try to get a logcat but its so random & only seems to happen when I press power from a sleep state. If I'm around a computer next time I see this I will try to get logging up & runing via adb & then rotate the phone. If any one is seeing this try & get logs to the devs.

[Epic 4G Android Development] playcs:
Rom: CM9 Beta 4 for samsung epic4G

Problem:GPS Lock issue in airplane mode.

Procedure: Turned on airplane mode, turned off WIFI. Turned on GPS w/ and launched google maps. I also tried rebooting with GPS on and airplane mode on w/ WIFI off, no luck.

I'll be traveling abroad next month and I need my GPS to work with google maps in airplane mode. So far my GPS only locks on when I am not in airplane mode. Any one else having this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
The GPS does not work on the Epic without service (in airplane mode) unless you do a major mod.

There is a thread showing how to do this HERE

note: to use the dialer code required in the Mod, you have to be on a ROM with the TW stuff present. The easiest way I found to do this, was to backup my CM9 build, flash CleanGB (make sure you get the MTD version), do the Mod, then restore the CM NAND backup.

woot, it looks like cm9 is released as a stable build today on CyanogenMod Downloads. I hope this means we might see what they've come up with on cm10 soon, as they can probably direct their focus in that direction... wishful thinking

[Epic 4G Android Development] ens04:
I would like to upgrade from CM7.2 to CM9 Stable version.

Before I start, please correct me if I am missing a step What I am about to do is:

1) Nandroid backup, then Wipe everything

2) Flash CM9 http://get.cm/get/jenkins/5801/cm-9.0.0-epicmtd.zip

3) Flash gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

4) Reboot.

Are these steps correct?

Also can I use Titanium Backup to backup all of my user apps currently in CM7, then restore on CM9 (user apps only not system apps)?

I read somewhere that I couldnt use Titanium Backup on CM9 because it works differently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Yeah that how it's done..i use titanium all the time no problems. If you get fcs after you restore your apps, reboot into recovery, wipe caches, and fix permissions
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
I made a pretty big jump today when I went from SleeperROM (running 2.3.7) to CM9 stable. So after spending the evening backing up with Titanium, setting a Nandroid backup with CWM5, installing CM9 stable, and trouble-shooting gapps & friends, I've noticed that a small handful of my apps that had worked perfectly on 2.3.7 are now "incompatible" both in the Google Play Store and Titanium Backup. Titanium just loops the restore sequence, even for App Only. They are pretty universal apps, such as GasBuddy and Paypal.

Anyone know what I've talking about? Anyone have a fix/procedure to narrow down the culprit?

Btw, I've been tweaking the rest of the settings this evening. It's like a completely different phone. Thanks so much to all the developers and testers that have made this project possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
When I made the jump a lot of my backups disappeared, literally. Try instilling from the market and then restoring data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
I always installed apps from market then used Titanium to restore data. It is a lot more stable that way. It takes longer but you can see what apps are having what effect on the rom.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeregister:

Get with the app developer and make sure those apps are ICS compatible. Not all apps are. Even eBay and Netflix weren't when ICS first dropped.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hotpocketdeath:
Not really. There are still bugs to work out. For instance, the rom still has certain bluetooth issues such as this:

http://code.google.com/p/epiccm/issues/detail?id=332&can=1&q=hotpocketdeath&sort=priority milestone

Fixing it is not needed for the rom to be "Stable" but it's still something I hope they eventually fixed as that particular bug affects me.

[Epic 4G Android Development] RuzzT:
Thanks!

First of all, a huge amount of thanks to all the devs and testers of CyanogenMod! And thanks to QBKing77 for the very helpful videos. Thank you for supporting phones, like the Epic 4G, who's potential is constantly being extended with such skillful updates from very talented people.

Coming from Legendary RC1, CyanogenMod 9 makes me feel like I have a brand new phone, and I get to keep my keyboard! Hopefully I can keep the memory limitations under check this time, as I'm usually always running out of phone memory.

I have some questions about restoring system data. I know it is not recommended to restore system data (I use Titanium) to CM9 from anything prior. How much of a rule is this? Am I guaranteed problems if I do? I want to restore my text messages and only have them backed up through Titanium. If not, is there a way to extract the backup file data into a readable format on my PC for archiving? I have been using MyPhoneExplorer for syncing and archiving. Is this an ok choice?

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuman72486:
In my experience, stock apps are usually the ones that have issues with restoring across roms, but in all cases, if I ever restored from an incompatible backup and suddenly got FCs or other issues, using TitaniumBackup's "wipe data" function on the bugged app would fix the FCs and restore the app to "new" condition.

SMS and MMS are mostly universal format, so I don't expect there to be issues there, but if you did the SMS/MMS backup by XML in TB Pro, then that would probably work more reliably than trying to restore the data directly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RuzzT:
Thanks for the insight. I didn't know that about the 'wipe data' function on TB could be used to un-FC a system app. Or that backing up with XML would be a better option for SMS; I didn't have an XML backup, but did have 3 standard backups. I ended up trying to restore the SMS data and nothing happened, no FCs and no data, just nothing. I also reinstalled Go SMS Pro, since I had it on there pre-new ROM and tried to restore data to it. Unfortunately no old text messages showed up, it probably just pulls from system SMS data anyway. Oh well, I think I lost that info unless I can find a program to retrieve that text data from the android file, I'll just be more careful in the future. But thanks for the help, CM9 has been working flawlessly for me over the weekend and is so much fun to use!

My brain's not working right today, refresh my memory guys:

To use Odin I go into download mode - but does it matter if I have USB debugging enabled or not?

I can't remember at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
USB debugging is a function found in the rom software, which isn't loaded when in download mode - in other words, no, it cannot matter.

If you know a bit about computers, think of download mode as the BIOS menu, and debug mode as a setting in Windows... that isn't exactly accurate, but it should illustrate the point (I hope)

[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
So I've been trying to get Google Now to work on this and think I've tinkered (flashed and reflashed) so much that I caused a bit of damage. I think its time to start fresh, wipe and reinstall ...something.

I'm not certain on how to do that though. Is it just that? Can I;

wipe everything and flash one of my backups or

should I wipe, install the latest CM9 version, then flash my back up, or

should I avoid that last step and just wipe and install the latest and move on.

[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
Thanks. Didn't think of it that way.

I suppose I could go way back to a backup, before messing with GNow, then flash the latest nightly, and follow with GNow... If I moved files around (like from system/app to make room), will all that go back as it was, will the restore take care of that too, or would I have to move those back first?

I believe you. It does sound like more work. I suppose you're saying, follow the instructions I followed to get CM9 in the first place (seems like so long ago, but it was just July)?

Just comparing my options here, thanks for your answers.

Probably because of this update note from the cm blog ( just my guess)...

UPDATE: CM9 RC2 Warning

CM9 RC2 for Epic has been released. Unfortunately, it has a major bug where it fails to retain addon .zip's, causing folks to have problems like broken gapps or losing Sprint VVM after they upgrade. You are fine if you manually flash addons immediately after upgrading RC2. You may want to wait for the next release if you want a stable experience.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
That warning just means that you have to reflash gapps and other addons after installing RC2, compared to RC1 and most nightlies where you can flash over an existing CM install without losing your gapps etc.

It's just an urban myth that completely defies logic and the laws of physics... I really thought you were joking when you first posted it. Sorry for snapping at you over it, but seriously, there is no logical way for glass to impact radio waves - feel free to try it, but I can guarantee that you won't see any difference unless the glass is imbued with lead or some other metal (but that would impede the reception, not boost it)

Yeah, we have the battery life thread, but I don't recall a battery temperature thread. Battery drain is a subjective issue (what seems fast or slow to some does seem normal to others, it depends on their normal use and their opinion).

While battery duration cannot be standardized due to the large number of variables, operating temperature is distinctly quantified and standardized (every Epic will consider itself to be overheating at the same temperature, for example).

The rule is, all discussion of battery life belongs in the battery life thread - not "every discussion of battery anything" - his post has nothing to do with the life of the charge, so why would you insist that he post in the wrong thread? They will just flame him the same way you have tried to here, with the only difference being that they will be correct ;)
