The RC was a nightly, once. If a nightly is tested and found to be stable and relatively bug-free, it may be retained longer, and relabeled as RC - an RC from today could have been a nightly, say, a week ago (I don't know the actual time frame). If the nightly is not stable enough, or no significant features/improvements have been added since the last RC, then it will just be another nightly... it really is that simple. If your Epic is your primary business phone, don't run nightlies during business hours ;)

The point is that the RC has been tested, and met certain stability requirements, which takes time but we know what works and what doesn't (and the second list is either small or non-existent, at least regarding important features).

Nightlies were just compiled, and who knows what may have been broken by the new changes and additions.

I'm having some issues with Superuser (still on an EC05 custom rom). After updating the app today none of my apps with SU access are getting permissions, the popup doesnt come up and nothing shows in the logs.

Is this something I should address before updating to the new CWM and flashing CM9, or should that fix it on its own?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lod_croc:
I would just like to thank all the people who have made this possible. You have brought new life to my Epic 4G, and saved me money from buying a new phone. Thanks everybody.

Update your binary from within the su app.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
Updating the binary is what started the trouble. Since it updated to 3.1 I've been having this issue. It may be because I had the update process freeze the other day, prior to the app updating recently to address that issue.

I've reupdated it a few times just to make sure 3.1 is on there and working, but I'm having the same problem still.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nutswillkillme:
Sorry if this was posted. I tried searching but didn't find the exact issue. Anyone have trouble with the phone turning off when opening and closing the keyboard multiple times back to back on this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I just tried to update the binaries as well, and it goes well until you run a test with it. Everything seems to pass until it gets to the 'Making sure new su works...' and the result is 'fail!'

It's so cruel!

Currently on 3.0.3.2 and the latest version is 3.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
I was having this same problem updating the binary until yesterday's app update. Now the binary updates just fine - but no app appears able to get superuser permissions, including superuser itself (logs totally blank except for toggles).

Unrelated question: Since I'm on an EC05 rom currently, and using the EC05 modem, I'd like to update the modem too when I flash CM9. Should I do this through Odin before flashing the rom, or before even updating CWM, or does it not matter?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Those with su issues should try supersu or the v6 starter script
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Flashing cm9 will overwrite all traces of superuser. You don't need su to flash cm9 as long as you have CWM5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
I'll just forget about it till I flash, then.

Any thoughts on my modem question?

Wifi tether still not working? Open Garden also not working for me. I did a quick search of the thread, but didn't see any talk of a fix. Is it just me?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
3G

I noticed others having problems with wifi and 3g connectivity throughout the thread. Thought I'd mention that my 3G was pretty stable on the other beta's, but 4g was not. Now it seems that I either have to use 4G or 1X. My 3g doesn't stay connected long and drops to 1X, but my 4G is working better than the other Beta's. I did a complete wipe before installing RC1 and did not restore any system data. And yes I re-applied G-apps too.

Anyone else having this issue with 3G dropping to 1X? This is happening to me in 3 completely different areas of town and never happened on the Beta's.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
I was having the same issues after upgrading to the 6 29 nightly. I have reverted back to RC1 and the problem seems to have gone away in a 3g only market.. I need to travel to DC to check out the interaction with 4g that is where my problems started to originate. That is when I switched over to 4g then tried to switch back to 3g. 3g then kept dropping to 1x after that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nutswillkillme:
Reposting this. Anyone have trouble with the phone turning off when opening and closing the keyboard rapidly back to back on this ROM. No custom kernel. No overclocking. Its not a major issue but just curious if its happening to other peoples as well. Sometimes just attempting to use my keyboard at all will cause it to shut down. Only on this Rom though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nutswillkillme:
I would have random reboots and wasn't sure of the cause then finally started realizing it was when I pulled out the keyboard. If I open and close it back to back a few times it for sure powers right off as if I pulled the battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ninja_unmatched:
At my house while downstairs the sprint signals get bad. Dropped calls and harder to text. When I was on beta 4 I was getting like no signal hardly at all. I'm on the peoples rom now and the signal is low but I can now get text messages off and calls too. I would rather stay with CM9 but that problem was getting very annoying. This rom uses fc09 also.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
I have this only with my extended battery, put a piece of paper between the battery and case back, and it mostly went away.

I think it was a loose battery issue for me, and not the ROM.

Able to use hw kb with no issues in rc1 and nightlies up to 6/26

What?? I've been using the built in wifi tether since Alpha without issues, including to post this.

Mon thru Fri I goto work, turn tether on, plug the phone in and it sits all day while I do everything on my wifi only tab.
[Epic 4G Android Development] justppc:
Same issue here, rarely happens, but only happens when using my aftermarket batteries, which are a tad bit thinner than the OEM batteries I use.

Piece of paper between battery and and battery cover makes sense.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
Yep.... after an entire day at 3 locations with RC1, I either get 4g or 1x. Not good when I have to use 3g at my fiance's. Gonna have to postpone the wedding!

Can anyone confirm that AVRCP is not working with CM9?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
When I hit the portable wifi hotspot button, it turns on, then immediately turns off. I've read in this thread that others have seen this, but I haven't seen if/how they fixed it. Do I have to wipe it again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
What I did was reboot after that with it still on and then it worked fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
Nevermind.... it's resolved
[Epic 4G Android Development] SEAL62505:
A reboot fixes that problem for me. I haven't messed around much to see if there are other fixes.

i think i found a bug in cm9 rc1, when i scroll through my apw (android pro widgets) timeline, the borders of my screen flicker red, has this happened to anyone else? and is there a fix for it
[Epic 4G Android Development] nutswillkillme:
What's strange on my end is I have a stock battery. None the less this seemed to help so all is well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
I have a lot of wmv videos on my phone copied from pc. Played just fine on tpr 2.2, but not on cm9, even with the same players. I assume there are codecs from touchwiz not present on cm9.

Tried mobo player and mx player, but both played only in stuttered slo mo. What are others using to play videos?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
Seeing as search isn't working, is there an issue with sending picture messages?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bikewiz:
x2

I cant send them either. I even backed up everything with Titanium backup, wiped data and reflashed RC1, then restored data except the SMS/MMS APN file and MMS still doesn't work. Sometimes it will finally send pictures 2-3 days later.

HELP! lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] kobby2k6:
I am currently using this Rom and I can send pics and receive them fine (I just tried it a few minutes ago to make sure)...

I use "go sms" app btw and make sure not to use programs like "autostarts" on the messaging app because it can stop mms from working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
For me, MMS is flakey, sometimes I just have to longpress on the message, hit edit, then send again.

Flashed rc1 on a friends phone yesterday. He says battery life is a little lower. I know most roms take about a couple of days to settle but should I expect good battery life?

After getting a refurbished epic I installed RC1 from stock again. Love the Rom, hate the default and chrome browser performances.... just terrible on heavy sites. Opera is doing really well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Would on par with a TW ROM be considered a miracle? And this is a serious post too, no sarcasm...from what I've found, I get significantly worse battery life on CM9 than TW (specifically People's) with the same apps, same settings (sync, update, etc), same about everything.

Do you have the Galaxy Sound Redirect app? AFAIK you need that as USB sound output is not built in to CM9. I opened & closed the sound redirect app to get it working.

I used to have extraneous noise (line or CPU) with music on the car dock in GB but it's gone with CM9 b0. Also, the volume out thu USB is higher than prev ROMs. I'll an alarm tomorrow & post results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
no not experiencing any of that all working great. Did you restore data? If so wipe data and check. If it continues reflash gapps to try and correct Gmail. On 3 way either wipe data on dialer or also just reflash the rom if it doesn't work. It works slight different on ics make sure you are doing it right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thabest85:
awesome work cm team
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ruhai Hu:
Yes i had the app installed. I have not tired CM9 in my car dock yet. Will probably reload it tomorrow afternoon to test it again in car and desk docks.

If I can get the alarm to work in desk dock I might switch completely over to CM9.

I have noticed the noise on previous rom's, and current(MarcusantROM), but if I disconnect power source it goes away.

So I have been thinking its either my charger setup or charger, mainly because it sounds like rev noise. Basically scaling with me rev'ing my car. Which makes me think it has to do with alternator noise in power.

I have not tried a different car power adapter yet. But not important to me cause I do not believe it to be a rom issue but a power issue.

Hoping for a update from those with docks as to whether alarm works for them and I just maybe messed something up.

[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
TO get rid of the SMS problem, go into system settings and make sure split messages is turned on. Sorry I don't remember exactly where that is and my phone is not handy at the moment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
come on... this was just addressed for the millionth time
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Yeah, annoying, but the setting should be ON by default, at least it was for me when i installed fresh beta 0.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Questions should be in the Q/A thread not in development page. You need to split the text messages in settings, it was just mentioned again on yesterdays section of this thread where it also mentioned where you should go to ask. The Alarm Plus your going to have to work that one and the settings on your own. Unless someone at the Q/A thread uses it and can advise you on what to do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmsomb:
Definitely nothing to do with the phone... I get the noise too. Same noise you get when your car stereo is not grounded or the speaker wires and the power wires are too close to each other...

I play my music through my car stereo using the 3.5mm Jack and when charging it at the same time, they're obviously too close to each other. I bought a new USB clanked to charge my phone while streaming music... I didn't hear the sound for a while but then it returned. In my case, I figured out the cause. Hope you can too
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevilDogVIKING:
I LOVE this rom!! Never been this happy with my phone. Everything has worked great so far. Thanks so much to the Cyanogen team. I'll definitely be donating as soon as I get paid. I'll never use another rom other than cyanogen

I have additional info for my auto rotate issue. If I check all three auto rotate boxes it will not rotate automatically and when I force the rotation with the keyboard it will not rotate back when the keyboard is closed. I have to hit the power button and unlock again to get it back. If I remove the check marks from all the boxes it will rotate with the keyboard normally and back when the keyboard is closed.

Hope this helps in some way to chase down this oddity.

HELP!! If I reboot my phone, it gets stuck in a bootloop. It boots up completely and then, after a minute or 2, it reboots. It has done that before but it always settled down after 2 or 3 cycles. This is the first time it happened in Beta 0 and it won't stop. I pulled the battery. I even changed the battery (I have 5) and it didn't help. I finally turned it off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Take a nandroid

2.. Wipe data

3.. Reflash the rom

Sent from my modded Epic 1x that I cannot love more.. Thank you EpicCM team, bbelos, and zeppelinrox.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
Wipe everything? Can I restore from the Nandroid of Titanium?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
You could, but that would pretty much defeat the purpose of wiping to begin with.

My suggestion is this: wipe everything through CWM; reflash the ROM after you verify the MD5s match; only restore the data to apps that are absoltely essential. In my opinion, a high score on a game is not essential for what it's worth. Outside that, redownload all your apps from the market and go from there.

If you still have problems, I'm guessing it may be hardware related, especially if you Odin and still have issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] revaaron:
I DO have it set to split and it still DOES the random crap thing.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Are you using a third party texting app like GoSMS or Handcent? If you are, make sure that setting is checked to split in that app too, not just the default one. Personally, I set Handcent up to be the default for SMS and MMS and I remove the MMS.apk from any ROM before even flashing it. Never had a problem since doing it this way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Clean install? No restoration of any data at all? I get just as good or better than I did on TW. I didn't while this was Alpha and early Beta but the most recent Betas and RC1 vastly improved that.

[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
Oddly enough I get fantastic battery when compared to the stock TW ROM. CM9 I get about 18 hours and stock (TW) I'd get 10 hours. SFR and CM7 I'd get a little better at about 20 hours. And if I use juice defender on these three I get right about 36 hours out of a full charge. Using the same juice defender settings on the stock ROM would bring it up to the amount of time I'd get from CM9 without juice defender. I'm inclined to agree that if battery drain is much worse on CM9 vs not CM9 ROMs that there is something wrong outside of the ROM that is causing that. That something wrong may take a good deal of effort to track down. For example the better battery stats drain we discovered. It took a month or two of a process of elimination to uncover it as a cause of unwanted drain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ninja_unmatched:
You are just 1 of ???? Cause CM9 in my case is the same. It has much worse battery life then the people's ROM that I am on now. I had to switch (very reluctantly) to peoples rom due to signal strength in cm9 when at home made it impossible 2 even send a text message. 3g Signals in my area do suck but on the people rom I can now actually get a text message out. Another thing too that annoyed the heck out of me was the keyboard lighting not turning on. Still wanna try rc1 though, especially since s voice now has an apk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xfilemanx:
This just happened, so I thought I'd mentioned it here.

I have RC1 installed and have had installed since it was released and for the first time since beta 3, for me that is, is just rebooted by itself.

Like I said I haven't had a random reboot since Beta 3.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hotpocketdeath:
Wrong.

Nobody runs the exact same configurations or have the exact same phone. Different applications and background tasks can change battery life and even physical location can greatly affect battery life (in reference to cell towers).

So just because someone isn't getting great battery life DOES NOT mean they are doing something wrong or have high expectations. It could be other factors at play.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pyperkub:
So I finally bit the bullet. My CleanGB soft home key had stopped working, as well as wifi, so I did a full wipe and I'm on RC1. This is nice so far (and both the soft home key as well as the wifi issues cleared up). Had one drop on a bluetooth call that may have been a dead zone (but didn't get my usual disconnect msg). Other end reported that the bluetooth call quality sounded better.

I do have one question though. My Bluetooth MAC address seemed really weird - ended in maybe 4 sets of 00, and it identified the car bluetooth by the MAC and not the short name. Bugs?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Oh wow. You so got me there.

Not really.

I'll go ahead and pull my 1-2 days with quite regular usage while still utilizing all of it's features just like the rom's devs get. You go ahead and convince yourself it's just the rom. You just said it yourself each user uses the phone differently and uses different apps, etc. So if I pull a day or two every charge, have 60 downloaded apps plus side loaded apps, utilize all the rom/phone's features, all while using an 1800mah battery and still pulling 2 1/2 to 3 1/2hrs screen on time, while regularly traveling through high "and" low signal areas, on and off of wifi, 3g, and 4g, then you're definitely doing it wrong. Even if that just means you set your individual app settings up ****ty, or choose ****ty apps to have on your phone. That isn't the rom's fault, that's user error.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hotpocketdeath:
No.

I will share with you some of my experiences over just this past month.

While at work, I go through about 2-2.5% battery. Good signal for phone and data.

Now while I am at my father's house, who happens to live in a low area with piss poor cell reception, my phone jumps up 5-6% per hour while the phone tries to stay connected to the network.

Then, when I go scuba diving in a quarry in Alabama, I go to a camp ground in the mountains of north Alabama that has absolutely no signals at all and my phone jumps up to 10+% per hour battery usage and I'm forced to put it in airplane mode so it doesn't suck through it's battery like a man in the desert given a glass of water.

So please explain to me how those situations of going through battery power could be caused by the ROM or by the apps I have installed or even by my settings.

And it's also been noted that people have seen greater then average battery consumption when running Betterbatterystats. It's even pointed out in the guide http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/03/battery-optimization-guide.html. They even point out other battery drain issues due to bugs. Have you even read it?

The fact is, you have not accounted for all the factors that can cause battery drains. Just because you get good battery life, doesn't mean everyone else will.
