So you know what I do and don't understand? Or are you just assuming? ;)

Every instruction takes the flow of at least one electron to complete. That much is basic electronics (and over-simplified, but it highlights the important part - processors use electricity).

More efficient code means more work completed in the same amount of time, or the same amount of work in less time. Either way, power -will- be saved. The question is, will that savings make a difference that is perceivable to humans? If it only saves enough battery to keep the phone on for an extra microsecond or two, then who cares? But what if it can be measured in hours?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
OK, your understanding is correct. Extra performance will make certain things faster. Unfortunately this has little to do with our actual causes of power consumption, which is usually app behavior or driver bugs. So Linaro optimizations alone aren't going to make a noticeable difference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Fair enough, that makes sense :)

If you're using the Epic TouchWiz dialer codes, then the answer is that this rom does not contain TouchWiz... those codes are for Samsung roms (that's the short answer, there is more to it)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rafosky:
I'm here reporting, I'm using beta 4 and WOW:D:D:D it's really improving from other versions, and I've been here since beta one and it have been my daily since then, but this one improved greatly my battery life. So now I'm really happy.with this ROM. You people of CM9 are amazing!!! Thanks to you I got phone for a while :cool::cool::cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rafosky:
:confused::confused::confused: Just a question, I'm using Google music to hear my online music.Can I do that with Apollo?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasew503:
Honestly it doesnt even matter, those codes work on various of sprint phones that dont contain a touchwiz interface.

Question still remains: How does one edit the MMSC URL address using this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrmondaynight:
anyone else's screen orientation lag?

I usually have to hit the home button for it to correct itself
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasew503:
*#*#3282#*#*

If anyone else wants to know

However you will get a modem error, and there doesnt appear to be a solution yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
The solution was told to you. Flash a touchwiz ROM. There is 5 or 6 in development or flash the kexec fc09 boot from sd card.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
Hash codes exist on every phone in one form or another. On your epic running cm9 (or the other ics roms, I assume, as I haven't tried this on them) you have to put an asterisk before the leading hash marks, and following the trailing hash marks. So when you enter it it looks like *#*#3282#*#*

However, the editing functionality is lost, even if you have your msl. If you need to edit, you will have to use a temp-boot solution, or go back to a stock rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
See above for the reason why I said mine was the short answer ;)

You make a good point - he and I were both speaking in the more limited scope of the Samsung Epic 4G (because, well, that's the forum we're in). So take everything he and I said about the dialer codes, and put "On Sprint's Epic 4G, " in front of it ;) In fact, it is usually safe to assume that any statements in the Epic (not touch) section refer to the Epic (not touch) unless otherwise noted...
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
Guess we were all posting at the same time. Lol.

Hopefully he gets the point.

Have had an opportunity to upgrade to pre 5 yet, but I've expereienced 3 Random Reboots, one just occurred. One of them when it rebooted and a "Safe Mode" in the lower left corner of the homescreen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
No reboots, so far. But I do have a question. Is there a toggle or a setting for the caller ID? I can't see the caller until I answer and that defeats the purpose. The other versions didn't have this. Everything else appears to be working OK.

Cyanogen Mod Beta 4, EL30. I like my Ice Cream Sandwich!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I had that happening on a previous version... but haven't seen it on b4.

Did you try wiping cache/dalvik? I think I actually tried a different kernel and that fixed it, but don't remember which one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
I started with a totally wiped phone.

Cyanogen Mod Beta 4, EL30. I like my Ice Cream Sandwich!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
wipe dalvik/cache AFTER you flash the ROM + GAPPS + kernel of choice.

You can try the kernel-> wipe after you've already booted into the system. Any time.

I still have the problem of the keyboard turning off after 5 seconds along with the softkeys

I dont understand why there is the option to disable them but not to change the timeout

also the physical keyboard the ".com" key doesent work at all as well as with Chrome and some other apps the onscreen keyboard wont come up at all and the physical keyboard works but the "Fn" keys dont work so I cant type my email because I cant do the "@" key

but other then that I have had no problems with any of the CM9 builds so good work on that but someone please add the option for the keyboard timeout

No roaming and PRL updating

I just flashed this ROM but I am having problems related to roaming. Searching through this thread I see some people working out related issues but I could not figure it out.

First, I am on EC05. Is this radio OK? If not what is the best radio to flash? Is there a simple way to change the radio or is ODIN required?

I cannot find where in the settings menu to update the PRL. Please let me know where this is found. In other ROMs I was able to find a specific menu item.

Roaming does not work at all for me. When I go to settings, wireless and networks, mobile networks, system select and try to change the roaming settings they always revert back to Home.

I also have Roam Control which is absolutely necessity for me on Sprint if I don't want kill my battery at 4x the rate in certain locations. This is not working either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
I'm on EC05 and it works fine. If you want to change it you will have to use Odin as there are not any deltas to flash from EC05.

AOSP roms like CM9 don't support PRL and profile updates. There is a temp stock ROM you can flash from your sd card to do those things. Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21825104

As for roaming issues, I have not had an issue in my area. So I can really speak to that, however many people here seem to use roam control with great success.

Question about the "quiet hours" setting

Location: System Settings > Sound > Quiet hours

I am able to select a block of hours, but it does not seem I can set it just for Monday through Friday

Is there a way to set quiet hours for just work days?

If this is not currently possible, is it possible to submit a request to the CM9 team for this change/modification?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
There are deltas from EC05 to EI22 and then from there to EL30. They can be found in the modem thread, as well as the full Odin/heimdall file versions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
No issue, just a TW feature of convenience that has not been ported to CM. Of course, that feature is specific to our keyboard, which does not exist on most CM-supported phones, so it just might never happen. It isn't as simple as mapping a button to a keycode (there is no keycode for '.com' - it would actually require a function that would send four keycodes in sequence, which is more work than it is worth at this time).

This has already been addressed several times...

EDIT: Whoops, I was thinking about the .com key - my mistake

It's a similar answer for the smiley key, though - the smiley menu is a TW feature (I'm sure there are similar features in other manufacturer's user interfaces, if they have a smiley button on a hw kb on any of their phones). The important part is that this feature is not vital to the operation of the phone, and is therefore extremely low on the priority list - the devs still have actual bugs to squash first :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
"I cannot find where in the settings menu to update the PRL" Me too. Also, the profile..how do you update that? I've seen in on other ROMS besides Cyanogen 4.04... But I can't seem to locate it now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Need to be on a Samsung TouchWiz ROM to update those. As stated a few posts ago, you'll either need to flash back to one, or use the temp boot from SD card to do exactly that.

Can't update profile or PRL from any CM/MIUI/AOKP/AOSP ROM.

Hey I saw this on the Touchpad forum. Anyone know how it will effect us?

Saw this article via Androidcentral:

The CyanogenMod team has announced that a code freeze has been put into place for CM9. That would be the version based on Ice Cream Sandwich source, and it's one of the most downloaded ROM's in Android history. So what does this mean for us, the end users? It means that a release candidate (RC) is on its way, and they are in the process of squashing bugs to make it stable. The team states in its blog post that nightly builds will still happen, but they won't be accepting any code other than bugfixes, device support, and translations into the release branch.

The initial release will cover a small amount of devices initially, but other devices will be added further down the road. (The process of adding new devices should be helped along by the streamlining of certain code.) Given the large undertaking of moving to ICS, and the amount of time that has been spent on it, knowing that a release candidate is on its way should make CM fans very happy. Already running and experimental build of CM9? Be sure to share your thoughts in the forums.

[Epic 4G Android Development] leftkidney:
anyone have any info for me about this problem?

I think I remember reading that if you disable the softkeys its set to 750ms or something like that so its on for just enough time for you to see it

well what about editing the file that does that so it says 60sec not 750ms, how could I do that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I'm not a code monkey, but I'd think if you had that file, edit it to say 60000ms to get 60s.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
For the 1000th time, the .Com is a touchwiz feature, I'm sure it could eventually be reworked, but it's not going to happen on CM9, maybe a third party kernel, key mapping is not mission impossible, but neither is implementing something that was meant for touchwiz, I'm sure there's an alternate way to implement new code from the ground up, just no talks about it publicly. Maybe bbelos or another CM9 can answer that for you. As for the timeout, they are able to change it, but they need to recompile the kernel each time to change its timeout I believe, to have the option to choose your timeout would be a luxury, and brand new headaches for the devs with more lines of code to stick inside the kernel, they're devs, not magicians.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You know if everyone ignores these people that post ,com or no PRL update as a bug, maybe they will learn to freakin' read!

I have a somewhat stupid question. My girlfriend's phone is dying extremely quickly. Within 2-3 hours she is at 18% and she may have used the phone for a minute or two total.

I've seen a few people show their battery results, but is there anyway to see if a program is hanging or causing strain on beta 4? She really liked ICS, but the battery life is really annoying her.

Oddly, I did search for the word "button" in this thread, and didn't see any mention of these buttons except for the post that I quoted. I thought that getting the handset specific hardware features working was part of porting CM 9 to this device, though. ;)

The 5 second (it's actually 6 seconds) backlight timeout is coded into the framework. I personally would be in favor of having a configurable keyboard timeout value in the menu like Stock TW has, but it's not a very high priority issue. Perhaps we'll see it in the future.

You are correct, 60000 would be 60 seconds, although mkasick hardcoded a 1 second max for the lights when using the disabled option, so you won't be able to extend the setting much longer.

"We are changing beta5 to RC1 due to the code freeze!"

I put this up on the Google+ and will try here also incase it gets missed over there.

On Beta4 and on this latest rom I've been having issues with downloading MMS. I've done a Boot from SD to update the profile, and all I get is the "Download" message with the MMS. It says "Downloading" for a few seconds and then goes back to "Download". This has been tried on 3g/4g and WiFi. All same results. I've even to tried in several different locations to eliminate the possiblility of a tower issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
For those with MMS issues, all I can say, is that if any of you are using alternative carriers, to make sure you have the appropriate mms fix, those of you that are with sprint directly, call in to see if they're having network issues, ask to have your line reset, try mms again on stock, if it works, and then you flash the latest CM9 Beta 5 and it doesn't work, THEN we can say it's the rom.

Volume key mute

Saw this on G+, works fine on the Epic... enjoy!

"One of our favorite things from the CM7 lockscreens was the ability to directly mute the phone from the lockscreen.

With ICS changing the lockscreen style (or users preferring pin or pattern unlock), this ability was sorely missed.

So, +Ricardo Cerqueira set out to fix that.

Check this out: From the lockscreen (or anywhere on the phone), whether locked or unlocked, hold both volume keys together. Neat huh?"

I'm not worried about it - I don't have a real need for it, and I recall some mention of new widgets in the works, so I'm mostly just curious if this is just my installation or if it is really broken

Sorry I wasn't that clear, even I didn't understand what I wrote and hoped nobody would point it out. Lol.

Now that it's been brought to attention, I'll be crystal clear.

CM9 MMS does not natively work with those on Virgin, hence, the need to flash the mms fix which adds things that were hard-coded to framework-res, as well as adding the correct apn values and other little loose ends. It's been the usual. A new CM9 Alpha/Beta comes out, and the flashable MMS fix needs to be applied for us. What I meant to say is that Beta 5 didn't work after flashing MMS, and I had to reflash it again, which seemed to work, but still, some mms's are a hit/miss, thus I was vouching that despite my conditional case of being on the same carrier with alternate mms values, the problem seemed to be from CM9 this time, (Upstream specifically as pointed out by Deca.

CM9 had the Virgin MMS support patch for a while now. Separately it requires correct programming and changes to build.prop, the latter of which is done by brooksys's .zip. since ~6/11 MMS was broken entirely in CM9 by an unrelated patch.

Some folks were working around this issue by using a MMS replacement apk built without that patch. Try the new build on the blog, it is fixed, although not in nightly builds as the fix hasn't been included in CM9 yet.
