Any ICS/CM9 kernel should work just fine. For example our Samurai kernel(well EB's), Marcusants' Nyan Colonel, and Bbelos' Shadow kernel. All should function fine since they are ICS kernels. Just insure the one you are flashing is indeed intended for ICS as there are different versions of each.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The built-in one, maybe others :p

Usually, any CM9-compatible kernel will work unless otherwise noted - some of us just wait for others to try them and post the results. Those that try it first usually don't need to be asked - at least a few will always be excited to report if one works.

If you have time to test, and if you're both willing and able to Odin if necessary, go ahead and try other kernels - most problems are more likely to need just a reflash of the rom to restore the included kernel, and since you're on MTD you should have a working Odin (or Heimdall) setup anyway...

(It seems like bad flashes are slightly more likely to mess up the ability to boot into recovery for a re-flash, in my experience - I believe it is related to the MTD conversion and modified recovery that MTD builds install, but that is purely speculation...)

Phantom VM

Many Thanks to all that put this together.... I had no idea my phone could look so visually stunning! This rom looks great!

I do have a question... I am getting the Phantom VM. I have downloaded the latest version from miui.us and the vm notification has popped up immediately. (i haven't even setup any accounts)

I checked voicemail and there are no messages.

Should i flash the phone zip that is earlier in this thread (march)? I am afraid of messing something else up with a phone update file that is from back in march.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again for such a gorgeous rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
Yeah i found that as soon as i installed sprint VVM, i got the phantom vm... i will remove it from the build and find the remove vvm for you later on...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Until VVM is removed from the builds or the fix really works, you can go into settings-> apps-> and Force stop, clear data and disable. I don't know if that really deletes it, but for all intents and purposes, it is gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jimmyjoe:
Thanks for the response. I did the force stop, clear and disable on VVM and it didn't remove the *86 voicemail prompt. I rebooted after doing so as well.

Thanks again for the response. If you have any other ideas i would be happy to try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
So... not sure if I'm imagining this or not... but i feel that after I installed this camera fix, that my battery life has gone back to normal. When I first installed the new version my battery life went to hell, but i figured it would level out. After I installed this fix, it seems to be back to normal...
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
Just for grins n giggles, do this...

1. Open up your dialer

2. Dial *720

3. Press Talk/Send

4. Should take a second then reset the dialer (therefore disabling any leftover redirects)

Once done, reboot your phone (hotboot is fine)

It should reset any forwarding your phone may have (some of the vm apps like googlevoice, etc use a weird forwarding)

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

I believe it WAS the camera app (unfixed) was causing infinite loops... so you may be absolutely correct...

So, unless anyone has any reason or hatred of the new camera app, i will be replacing the crappy stock one with this app in the new build, and removing the sprint vvm, but i will post a links here:

These are flashable from CWM:

REMOVE sprint VVM: REMOVE VVM

INSTALL sprint VVM: INSTALL VVM

(You do NOT need to install this if you are on the current build, its in there already)

=D

Is that related to Media Services, yesterday I lost about 80% of battery in 4 hrs. When I looked Battery Usage.. Media Services was on the top with ove 68%
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
not sure about media services, i found that once i ran the camera, the app would not properly close...

The other battery hog i found was wifi and then the Voicemail app...

After removing the VM and replacing the camera, I'm seeing much better battery...
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
interesting find! Didn't think vvm could cause that much on asop..

are you planning on updating roms.miui.us anytime soon, or just go ahead and download?
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
I will be making some adjustments to the build and will upload to miui.us most likely later on this evening... anything that i do from this pc does not flash correctly... so it will have to wait til tonight...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:

[Epic 4G Android Development] djjroc007:
I have a bunch of custom picture frames in the gadgets folder but this new build does not recognize them. Is that something that needs fixing still, or do they have to be in a different folder now?

[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
I am still on very first release and then added fixed apps you provided. I did not re-download last all in one fixes form My 27th (page 105). Now you are doing some more fixes. Are there any core fixes and more adjustment that requires me to re-install complete ROM again once you have it done today?
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
Same...

Everything working as expected, with no problems at all

Battery is very good...
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
Yes, when i finish what i am working on and post the new build, i would recommend that flash the entire rom; or at least wipe cache/dalvik and flash it on top of your early build, you will get much better battery and some other stability fixes...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
Random stupid question, but there's no 4G toggle right? You have to go through settings to turn it on/off?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
There is a widget for it as well. But there's no traditional toggle from the pulldown menu.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stevie13.xo:
How'd you get the center clock
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Had my first random reboot today. Had just put the phone down after playing WWF and saw the bootscreen come up. Seemed like a "hot" reboot, as it was very quick- no more than a minute. I also had a freeze that lasted for about five minutes. I was going to pull the battery when I got home, but just as I was getting home it started moving again.

Just a report. Since then, no issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Quick battery saving tip: turn off miui stats reporting. Open the miui stats app and uncheck the checkbox and save preferences.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stevie13.xo:
I searched everywhere but cannot find out how to get the center clock

[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
My clock was in the center to start with...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
Same, maybe you just need to re-flash the updated ROM when it's released tonight.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jimmyjoe:
Well I tried the above and it didn't clear it. I even rebooted the phone after soft booting.

One other thing i did try was to go into apps and force stop and clear data on the phone app and that cleared the vm notification. i even made a call. Then I rebooted and the vm indication came back!! UGG.. thanks for your help on this... hopefully the new build will fix this for me.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
did you use the remove-vm zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jimmyjoe:
No i didn't... did i miss that in what you said? Sorry if I did.. I'll search for that zip in this thread.

Should I do that before the *720 steps?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
Getting there...

Here is some progress shots of the new build...

just a few more things to finish...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jimmyjoe:
Got the remove VVM file from your reply and then did the *720 steps... still there...

I'll wait for your new build and see if hopefully that doesn't have the notification.

Thanks again fror your help.

But I downloaded the 2.5.18 on roms.miui.us just last night

I checked the md5 too and they matched

And I wish the capacitive buttons timeout was worked into the framework.. just cause when the screens off the keyboard buttons stay on
[Epic 4G Android Development] stevie13.xo:
3hours since my last reboot and time without signal is 95%.. its always been like this on miui.. on miui gb too

I have yet too see 3g connect also..

And how do I know if I'm roaming or not.. would it say something other than sprint in the settings or status bar
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Hit airplane mode for 30 sec, see if that helps

When you're roaming, the sprint logo disappears.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
So I'm on mtd and I wiped then flashed this and after it nyan kernel and I rebooted and after the first picture no boot ani showed up. The screen stayed black. So I reflashed the rom and the normal cyanogenmod picture came up with no animation after it. And now I lost my recovery I believe. I can't get into it. I can get into download but don't have a computer. The phone turns on then reboots and gets stuck. The lights on bottom don't turn on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
Losing your recovery meaning you can't get into CWM and revert back to a backup?
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
really looking forward to it! checked last night, will keep checking here!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Ahh, sounds to me like you need to odin back to stock. You need to get a stock tar of some kind (EL30 or FC09) and the tar for CWM and then odin.

Steps to Fix:

Put your phone in download mode (hold 1 while turning on the phone)

Open Odin

Select the PIT file

In the PDA section choose the FC09 tar

Hit the start button and let it work it's magic and it should automatically reboot your phone (if it freezes you might have to pull your battery and do this part again)

Once your phone boots, you can then turn it back off and go back in to download moded

Open Odin again and in the PDA section choose the CWM tar

Hit the start button and let it work its magic again

Once it boots up, you should now be able to turn it off and get back into CWM

Edit: apparently i missed the part where you said you don't have a computer... but this is the only solution i know of.
[Epic 4G Android Development] v4g480nd:
Same problem with 3g, airplane mode didn't help. **EDIT: modem is FC19
[Epic 4G Android Development] BREWGIRL03:
I dont know whats going on but I flashed the miui rom from pg 105 I think, and no problem I had signal and everything. Then I lost root when I flashed nyan 5 kernal. For some reason when ever I try to flash the restore CWM from the TWRP it tells me it failed and says that it cant flash a side-loaded zip. So I tried to reboot after that and lost root/rom totrally. So I odin back to fco9 tar, odin CWM again , flashed SU from CWM and tried miui from the miui-android site again and now I have no signal. Re-odined and reflashed 5 times and still no go. Im now going to try the page 105 download agin and see if that works.Could there be something missing in the download on the site? The download from pg 105 I didnt have the no signal issue. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
Sorry, i cant do anything from work, but i will post a new set of dl's from home that should help you out...

There was an issue with that kernel flashing BACK to cwm from twrp, TRY flashing the rom from 105, then the new nyan v5, then use the cwm-restore.zip that should work... if not just wait til i get home and i will put up the non-nyan build for you...

Tried this out the other day, and I must say it is a big improvement over the last version i tried.

I did notice that I still had the phantom voicemail, even though in the OP is says that the bug is fixed. Also, the signal bars for 3g were still messed up. Sorry if there are fixes for these issues somewhere in the thread, I tried to search but no luck.

Love this ROM though, and by no means am i complaining, just wanted to share my experience. Thank you devs, keep up the GREAT work.

Sprint VVM

Just a quick clarification guys.. Sprint VVM is or is not the same app or function that used to download my voicemails directly to my phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
It is. It is also a battery drainer
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
@DPS33:

If you have ES File Explorer on your phone...

(and have enabled the root access, mount as writeable, and up to root options) browse to /system/app;

Press and hold on Camera.apk, scroll down to the bottom, click Properties

then make sure the permissions are RWXRWXRWX

If they are not, then click Change (Button on the right edge)

[check all boxes

click ok (accepting the file perm changes, if any)

click ok again(closing the Properties window)]

You might wanna do File Checksum, MD5 and verify your Camera.apk is 81d8140af543e9249dd1ddac49e6d1bb (bottom left button on the properties popup, [Show Checksum, then click MD5], IF ITS DIFFERENT, LET ME KNOW I WILL SHARE THE CORRECT "FIXED" VERSION
