[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
can we flash this from GB MIUI? if so what are the steps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neuteboomt:
Short answer is no.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Yes. GB MIUI uses stock CWM recovery. Just flash it like a regular rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
I flashed it and it went well. how do i get a recovery on cm9 to flash gapps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
Have to flash roms, gapps, and modem all in same flash session. No recovery in CM9 to avoid the bricks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
yup, always flash gapps immediately after CyanogenMod
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I found a bug today. Been running for a week with no issues. Today I set wifi to sleep when screen was off. When I left my house and left wifi I got sleep of death. Happened twice. If I don't have wifi turn off with screen phone is fine. I though it would save battery that way, but list 30 percent of battery when restarting phone. No just leaving on wifi now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Yep, I used the fresh installation instructions and have seen no issues at all so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
That literally made me laugh out loud. :D

Nah, just seems like the things most often reported as not working there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mightypenguin:
Battery Drain

I flashed 3-15 on top of 3-11 and have new 3-04 gapps and I'm seeing huge battery drain now.

Almost 50% of it is "System".

There is a ton of "Awake" time vs "Screen On"

And I'm underclocking and using CPU Tuner to pulse background sync.

Only thing I can think of is I have the Google Plus app installed.

Is that still terrible at waking the phone up all time?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neuteboomt:
Thank you sfhub.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
That's why its said to flash freshly for best cm9 experience. No flame but just saying. It can be that.

Idk. I get awesome life with any cm9. Maybe u need to make fresh? I'm fresh! Lol, that is what she said.

And then: if u did not wipe cache too?

Via OG Epic 4g Cm9 & NYGiants 2012 Champions!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Nice thanks sfhub. That should be pretty handy for those working with CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alexthearmo:
Is video recording still not working? I really want to flash, but have an 8 month old daughter, so can't risk missing a new milestone if the video camera doesn't work. Can anyone report? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Johnny Halo III:
Video camera is not working. Records but playback is broken
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alexthearmo:
Thanks. Is playback broken just on the phone? (In other words...could I play the file back on the computer?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilongbored:
You can "record", as in the camera lets you press start and stop, but it doesn't save it right at all. The output played on a computer has a lot of green lines over a black background. So the short answer is "no".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mightypenguin:
Hmm

Thanks for feedback. Yes I did wipe cache.

If you guys are all flashing fresh how are you getting your apps back?

I thought Titanium Backup was still discouraged?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alexthearmo:
Ok. Thanks for the answer! I guess I'll have to wait it out for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
I just reinstall them from the markets I got them from originally. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
titanium restores are fine as long as you turn off the system apps option and only install user apps... That is what I've been doing on numerous ROMs... AOKP, cm9, miui, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Also, the last couple times I've installed an ics rom from scratch most of my apps, if not all, just download and install automatically from the market after I login with my Google credentials
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffolkes:
Is anyone changing their density/DPI with this rom? Because everything I try, including manually editing build.prop, results in a locked black screen after the Samsung logo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayjay7411:
Yes I use romtoolbox pro. I have mine set at 200 works perfect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] webran61:
Same. Also note that changing it to anything below 200 causes the phone app to immediately crash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ccline84:
All my back ups restore just fine. I only restore a few games and things that I dont want to start from scratch lol. Only problem I've seen thus far is my screen washes out and the entire device will lock up every once in a great while. A battery pull fixes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
I noticed that setting Max to 500 for screen off will also cause SOD. Max at 800 seems to be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
@darch,

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but I think the gain of the mic is too low when on speaker phone. Its very difficult for the other end to hear me, but it returns to normal when I take it off speaker phone.

I'm not sure a logcat would capture anything; is there a method I can use to verify this? Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
yay for source code!

Source just dropped for the GT-i9100, and honestly that should help us with these small bugs that are hard to fix without source. Everyone be patient, things are about to get good :D

disclaimer - yes i understand that's not our device, but it is still going to benefit us tremendously.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d1gw33d:
Same here. Was on a conference call and was blasted because no one could hear me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rsloan:
Right Now I'm excited :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
I see that GPS is listed as working. I just want to note that it's not working for me. It works fine when I restore my Calkulin's backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
try the workaround then, get a lock on Gingerbread then reboot to recovery (EL26+CWM) and flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffolkes:
Thanks. Unfortunately $6 is a bit steep for me right now, and I don't understand why this works with this app, but a normal build.prop change is making the OS choke?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
last i looked, there are multiple entries of lcd density in build.prop what exactly did you try?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hamish26:
Last night I had 40% battery, watched a 4 min youtube video, and when I left youtube I was greeted with 7% battery and a notification to plug in my charger. I've heard issues with 15% battery and less, but not 40%
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Why not use the free version? It works great
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Yeah mine worked until the 3/15 release.

It'll show 0/1 satellite (instead of 2 like before) and will lock for a second after about a minute but quickly lose the lock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffolkes:
I was under the impression you needed the paid version to change density. Apparently not, as I just installed it and successfully changed it. Thanks!

Unrelated, does anyone know why Google has reversed the fairly industry-standard method of putting the "yes" (i.e. "OK" or "Accept", etc) on the left side? In ICS the affirmative button is always on the RIGHT side, which is the opposite of everything I've come to be used to. Why?

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

I used Rom Toolbox, but in the interest of anyone else reading this, I'll reply to you. I only saw one density related line in build.prop. The only thing I can think of, is I didn't check/restore permissions after I pushed the edited file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
Just curious if this happens to anybody else.. when I go into storage from settings it force closes..no biggie just wondering if it was just me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neatchee:
For those having GPS issues, you can try clearing cache/dalvik-cache FROM EL26 RECOVERY (stress on the EL26). Worked for me to get GPS going again on the 3/15 build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffolkes:
Perhaps this has been answered, but I can't find it. Once I odin the EL26 kernel, how do I get back to the ICS kernel without having to reinstall the entire rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oiad:
You can't because flashed a different kernel. You would have to flash the ics kernel back. I changed modems last night and just reflashed the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you look at the 2nd post of all the ODIN threads in my signature, you'll find the individual stock kernel for each respective version in .tar.md5 form (inside of a 7zip self-extractor). You can flash this in ODIN to get your ICS kernel back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
just pull the kernel from the zip file you flashed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Installed this last night. Working great so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
My SMS with the newest build was orange for unread SMS, annoyed lol, had to push SMS.apk from the older build to fix.

How are you guys battery life? I know it has been mentioned, I too have android os have the highest percent under stats, seems to be dying a little fast, love the rom though.

Also, 14% to 5% happens way too fast, phone dies in no time.

I can confirm that flashing el29 rom, locking on to GPS, flashing cm9 does fix GPS issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I love the orange unread color. Also, I think android os and battery life is subpar in android 4.03 in general on any device... 4.04 supposedly fixed the drain, but was pulled shortly after release for some reason... I am not sure on the particulars though. I hope google releases the source quick so we can get this battery life issue taken care of. With moderate use I average around 10 hours. Twelve tops. Not awful by any means... But knowing I could get a full day out of my phone if they released this is frustrating.

Re: affirmative button position switch

The only thing I hate about ice cream sandwich. That and the roboto font.

Say "affirmative button position switch" out loud lmao
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] webran61:
3.15 build.

GPS isn't working for me either. Don't even have the Navigation app installed (probably need to re-flash a better gapps version)

Changed DPI to 200 via Rom Toolbox Free, everything else still works (phone etc.)

Remember, DPI changers, if you change the DPI to anything under 200 your phone app will force close.

I re-flashed this ROM several times when I didn't need to because of this CM bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
Have you tried turning off the notification light? I turned it off on the newest build and haven't had any troubles.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
for anyone else who wants to try it, i assume he means the "Pulse Low Battery Light" Option in Settings>Display
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
Yep, that's what I meant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neatchee:
Excellent resource. Thanks for that. Bookmarking :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
Would that help battery life? Lol I don't mind the light, I mind it dying so fast once it gets to 14%.

I have how after using this, I can't go back to any Samsung based rom. Before we had cm9, I actually was tempted to activate my nexus for the stock android experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
The gapps doesn't include maps, which includes navigation. You'll need to download from the play store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pyrostic:
I'm experiencing heavy Android OS usage in my battery stats. Has anyone found a fix for this? See attached image.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
I posted this earlier in another thread but that thread seems to no longer exist, so here is a repack of the 031512 build with working MMS for virgin mobile. The only files that have been changed are a few lines in the build.prop and the cdmasmsdispatcher located in the framework.jar. Flash at your own risk and follow the directions in the first post.

Virgin Mobile CM9 w/ working MMS_031512:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3tcfft67zxi71nr

Edit: once CM9 has a proper recovery I will release a fix for MMS that you will just need to flash along with the latest update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
I turned it off and haven't had any troubles since. Before this latest version I saw a heavy drop after 14%, so as soon as I flashed I turned off the low battery light and haven't had any drastic drops since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neuteboomt:
From what I have read it is a ISC issue that was fixed in 4.0.4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Hopefully Google will release 4.0.4 soon so it can get pushed to the CM9 upstream.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pyrostic:
I hope so. As well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Current chatter on the tech blogs has the Gnex 4.0.4 update coming in a couple weeks, which means source will be released around the same time for inclusion in cm9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaysmi32:
Brooksyx, will this work with metro pcs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
No it will not sorry. Virgin mobile requires specific changes to the cdmasmsdispatcher file. I don't know what changes metropcs requires. You might just have to edit the build.prop to use the correct apn settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaysmi32:
How do I go about flashing to virgin mobile?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neatchee:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tomyboombotz:
Can anyone give a brief tutorial on how to flash Fc 18 kernel and modem on cm9 without my phone blowing up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiekan:
Use Odin or MobileOdin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tomyboombotz:
To flash both ?? They both work on cm9 with no issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Do you have a windows PC? Just flash both in Odin. You'll just have to check to be sure steady modified the kernel to work with cm9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neuteboomt:
I flashed the FC18 modem.bin file through Odin under phone with no issues. I have not tried the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Hmm, I woke up to my phone being hot to the point of being worried... Since then, it has lost about 1% a minute (or quicker).. It's still hot and i'm down to 82% even though I woke up and unplugged it around 15 minutes ago. I'm literally watching the numbers drop. As I've typed this post it has dropped 4-5% as of this point.

Has this happened to anyone else? What do I do? This has ran flawlessly (aside from the bugs) for weeks... Have been running the 3/15 build since the 16th as well. Ps, the only changes yesterday that I can recall was updating the goo inside me app (goo manager) and installing screen filter last night reduce screen brightness while reading in bed. Now it's dropped a total of 9% since I started typing this.. The heat issues are gone though..

Edit, am going to post this in the general thread. Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] midnitecoupe:
I flashed the fc 18 kernel posted in the AOKP thread and installed according to the install instructions. I have not had any problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tomyboombotz:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] webran61:
Don't know if anyone has ever even mentioned this, but one thing that really annoys me is the touch-key light physical buttons on our phone. They are too bright at night, and the CM setting to disable them in this ROM seems to be broken.(Lights turn off and then turn right back on on lockscreen activation, etc.) On the latest FC18 Kernel/Modem on this ROM (which is awesome nonetheless).

Hopefully this gets on someone's radar so I don't have to Odin back to Gingerbread to use my phone at night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
Anyone get any IRC Apps working on ICS yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kurupt1:
+ 1 to that the setting doesn't stick when screen turns off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
It's a kernel related issue I believe. Once we get kernel source I'm sure it'll be an option and flashing again from recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Install screen filter. It is a wonderful app for night time use. Can dim the screen even more and disable soft keys
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] webran61:
Have Screen Filter installed already. Love how much battery it saves to dim the display. The setting to disable the soft keys doesn't hold either, which makes sense if its a kernel issue.

a little hint, look for the EL26CWM kernel/recovery (listed in the OP) for any flashing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagles16:
So what your saying is I have to Odin back to el26 recovery, I'm a little confused as I've never used Odin before

First of all, are you guys accepting "bug" reports?

Second of all, which is very important to me, my gps is not working. Even with GPS Status & Toolbox app and resetting and downloading the gps data again doesnt do anything. Any help?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
1. He is accepting useful bug reports with logcats.

2. I have also not had working GPS since the 3/15 build and nothing corrects the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtruong23:
Did you try flashing back to a GB touchwiz rom? Get a lock for GPS on that then flash this again and dont wipe anything. My GPS is working great.

yup i just drove 1000 miles in the past 36 hours using GPS the entire way
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:

Don't flash the FC18 kernel. Every time I flashed that kernel with build 19 the Root Access option was not available in Developer Options from my experiences.

Lol damn that explains it....I used the fc18 kernel...oh well I guess I'll have to Odin when I get home
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackout305:
It took me a few tries but I finally figured it out lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Did you enable internal GPS in location settings?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Woah. If I'm reading this right, this new cm root policy is somehow integrated with the kernel? Didn't expect that.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackout305:
I don't know if it's completely true but I flashed build 19 four times with the FC18 kernel and each time I had no root access or the ability to enable root access in Developer options. It wasn't until I flashed build 19 without the FC18 kernel that I was given the root access options in Developer options.

Any special instructions for setup of this on

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackout305:
I'll try it again. I was just saying that it didn't work the first 4 times I flashed with the FC18 kernel. Once I flashed build 19 without it I was able to access root options.

No where did I say that the FC18 kernel was ABSOLUTELY the problem.

I could have flashed in the wrong sequence. I have no idea. Just making a suggestion since another member was having the same issue I was on build 19.
