Is there a setting you have to enable or something to get mms to be sent through wifi? It takes me a good 15 minutes to send an mms even when I am at home using wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
Just curious if anyone is having luck setting custom colors with the notification led.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
So tell me if this is the proper way to flash the scripts:

-Odin EL26 Kernel with CWM

-Boot into CWM

-Flash CM9 FE16 Kernel

-Flash Scripts .zip

-reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
I think you can use gosms to send an MMS over wifi but the native messaging app will only send over 3g.

You can only set the colors to red, blue, or pink. You have to pick a color close to those to get it work. Hopefully in the future on colors that can be used will be selectable instead of the full range.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
Should work without problem. Personally, I would flash the kernel last.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
Ok I just didn't completely understand what the scripts were applied to, I just assumed they modified the kernel or something... but its gotta be the ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
To make sure it applied go to system/etc/init.d/ if you see the file "4undervolt" you're good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
A third-party launcher like Nova, Apex, Go, etc. will also do the trick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
I didn't think the scripts would work on this rom....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Placebo. Undervolting only works on custom kernels which won't exist until ICS source releases.

Recovery lost

I have lost recovery with this ROM, read through the thread and haven't found a solution. I may have missed something somewhere as I am new to E4gt rooting.

If anyone can help would be greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NORCALkID:
Atm any ics rom you install on this phone makes you loose recovery. Only way is to Odin a gb rom or use mobile Odin to install a kernel with recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
You mean you lost custom/cwm recovery with this rom? Stock recovery should be there DO NOT use factory reset as it is a known problem that the Android 4.0 kernel as is can randomly trigger an eMMC bug on our phone effectively bricking the phone.

Recovery is part of the kernel on this phone, roms come with a kernel in this case a stock leak kernel modified to work with cm9. Flashing roms from an ics kernel even a stock one is dangerous so its better that you dont have it anyways.

When its time to move to another rom, update or go back to GB use ODIN, either to flash the EL26 CWM kernel for flashing purposes (ICS wont boot on GB kernel) or to move to a stock/stock leak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
Starting to notice certain apps notifications are not being sent to task bar...nor does the alert sound. ie. Facebook, scramble with words
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Yeah gotta be careful with that stock recovery. I accidentally used factory reset a week ago without thinking luckily I didn't get a brick but could have been bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pillzzberry:
Lol. Dead ass patience is a virtue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riddle777:
I tried an FE16 with ACS to no avail. Do you have a recommendation for a kernal with recovery that's compatible with CM9?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
There are non. Just wait.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tom1l21:
I'm just curious, what is it about this phone (or maybe Samsung devices in general) that creates the issue where there is no recovery for CM9? The last two phones I had (EVO 4G & 3D) had clockwork mod from the start I believe. And I never remember kernels having anything to do with recoveries. What exactly is it that Samsung does different from HTC?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheGman125:
I would agree but what is explain to me is that this Rom have pre install kernels that change the phone to cause the clockwork recovery to remove.

Sent From NS4G, E4GT, and Mopho all running CM9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Can someone please verify for me that their phone turns off after an allotted amount of time? Like make the phone sleep after 15seconds, 30seconds, 1minute, 5minutes, etc.? I cannot figure out what the hell is causing it. I want to know if I am the only person having this issue and I sure as hell don't want to do a complete reflash if it isn't necessary lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
No problem here on a clean install of A4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
No offense guys but really?

Use the search, this has been answered 1000 times, no joke.

Simple as this:

current clockwork mod recovery = bricked phone

bricked phone = bad

samsung ics kernel source code = proper clockwork mod

proper clockwork mod recovery = no bricked phone

no bricked phone = good

But there is no ICS kernel source yet so just sit back, grab a beer, and wait.

Trust me you will know when we have a proper recovery. Everyone asking for it a million times a day isnt going to make it come any faster.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Thats not my point..

Im just trying to save people from themselves (bricking)

Good things come to those who wait and we are getting pretty darn close.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
And mad people bricked their phones. Hence later builds do not.

On HTC phones, the kernel and recovery partitions are separate, but on Samsung phones they are not so the recovery is tied to the kernel. All the ics we've been enjoying have been based on some icky mods to the leaked kernels. When people were using recoveries with them, mad people ended up with bricks, myself included.

No recovery until official kernel source. Its not something that's broken, just something we don't have YET :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Epic. I just flashed alpha 4 this morning and I should break 3 hours of screen time on my first charge. Hopefully I'll get 4+ by the end of the week!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
OK odd thing: I been running this for a week+ now, and I decided to use mobile Odin to flash el26 so I could go back to fe10 modem since fe16 sucked for GPS. I flashed the aosp fe16 kernel when done, then on reboot I don't have root access now? I checked settings/dev options and there were no options for root there. Could it be due to using the AOSP kernel instead of the specific CM9 kernel? Guess maybe I got too used to having AOKP for so long . . . .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
can anyone show me how to remove crt animation by changing some of the code in the framework.apk or something? cause i really despise that damn animation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Crsdr37:
I have the same issue...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
What kernel did you flash last?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
If you flash the AOSP kernel instead of the cm9 specific kernel you will lose root. It happened to me a couple times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Well from the info given by Ken Sumrall the problem being with the eMMC firmware even once we have kernel source if Samsung has yet to do a work around with the kernel we will still have to do one.

With that issue out of place it never was the recovery repacks at fault, even bone stock ics recovery can brick running an update.zip. Good thing there are not any that are meant to be used. But factory resetting still same problem same risk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
this is correct.. you need the fe16 kernel repacked for cm9 or you risk losing root. im sure theres a link floating around.. if not can always reflash rom and gapps to get the kernel back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
or take the boot.img out of the zip file!

no need to reflash entire rom and gapps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Tom the big difference on this phone or maybe most Samsung is that the kernel & recovery is one. Where as you are used to freely flash what ever ROM/kernel you like on the HTC phone with out ever changing or losing your recovery. On this phone every ROM is packaged with a kernel, and since the recovery partition resides in the same place as the kernel, you will get what ever recovery is packaged with the kernel. Now most ics roms have decided not to packed in cwm in their kernel due to possible bricking issues when wiping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
Could you elaborate as to what command you execute?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todds67:
So how would you do it without this application. The anycut app I found in the app market is for home screen shortcuts and doesn't mention anything about the ability to update a PRL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
sorry if this is already posted somewhere but searching "kernel" in this thread is pointless, lol.

does anybody have the kernel that's packed with alpha 4 separately?

Is there a dial code that can be used to update the PRL?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bjonesy77:
I've been playing with CM9 alpha builds, however, I always revert to the stock GB rom for daily use.

How can I run a backup of CM9 and effectively restore to it?

I flash a cwmEL29 kernal with mobileODIN, run a nandroid backup, then restore to my GB rom. If I wanted to go back to CM9 can I use cwmEL29 to flash the CM9 kernal, then do a nandroid restore?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
PRL update does not work on CM9.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

The suggested method is to backup and restore your CM9 with EL26 kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NORCALkID:
If you want to update to a new prl you need to flash a touchwiz gb rom update it then from there just follow instructions to flash cm9 back on you phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alamo76:
At 4% battery charge, I'm @ 16h 13m w/ above average use of Wi-Fi, video, FB uploads, photo editing and app surfing. Impressive stuff.

So the only two things I hope are addressed in the next kernel/update (IMO, at least) are:

- GPS signal lock (none of that flash back to GB and back again)

- Full car dock integration
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stormglove:
The only way on this phone is to use a computer and a program called QPST. There is a thread in the general section that gives step by step instructions and offers plenty of other PRL's to use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Here is a copy of fe16 kernel. it is flashable in recovery, but you need to use these steps to flash it.

-Odin EL26 Kernel with CWM

-Boot into CWM

-Flash CM9 FE16 Kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Clearly stated in the blog where you downloaded the rom that prl updates don't work. If you would have read you would have known this.

On a side not mkasick is working on kexec so in future we can live boot a touchwiz rom and update prls and similar and then reboot back to CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Still need to be on touchwiz for the phone to be recognized by qpst. And on touchwiz you can update to the latest prl over the air.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I checked yesterday, my car dock works with music. My desktop dock does not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:

Let's see, my specific issue was that i couldn't even select custom ringtones i had.

So i opened up terminal

su

mount -o rw,remount /

cd /mnt

mv sdcard sdcard.bak

ln -s emmc sdcard

That will symlink sdcard to emmc

Eventually i just removed the databases to media and let it rescan and my ringtones finally showed up.

However my ogg ringtones are not playing only the default but mp3 ringtones are working for some contacts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
Sorry for the misinformation. I was travelling extensively last week and lost the ability to receive texts but was able to update my profile through the alpha 3 build, it looks like it is no longer there in A4.

Unlike touchwiz roms, it did not do it behind the scenes, but rather made a phone call out. It definitely seemed to do the trick though.

ok so I'm having this strange issue and I can't figure out what's causing it.

I removed my external SD card, and under the storage options I have the box checked that says use internal storage. When I reboot the phone and open up astro, in the EMMC folder it says something about trouble creating the cache for emmc. It also says directory is empty. My INTERNAL storage shows up as SD Card for some reason. Anyone know a fix?

edit: If I uncheck that box, the directories show up correctly, but how would that affect where my apps get installed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
This is probably a stupid question, but did you try wiping battery stats?

That actually does nothing. Confirmed by Google engineers. Trust me though, I've tried everything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
go to manage app, clear data for market & google framework, then reboot usually solves that issue for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Before you try getting it replaced, you should charge to 100% while the phone is off, do a full wipe flash, and wipe battery stats before rebooting.

Also, the sprint store can test your battery for you to see if it is defective if you ask.

If you need help

Always add the whole context when asking for help. Most of the times a dumpfile is helpful, sometimes screenshots showing your observations may help as well.

Before posting a dump please make sure that the references for kernel wakelocks and alarms were processed correctly. Reading a dump takes a few minutes and it would be great if you could not waste the time of whowver studies in, aiming at helping you.

Generally a dump "since unplugged" is better than "since charged". When you start your analysis make sure to follow following procedure:

- plug/unplug the charger

- leave the phone alone 1-4 hours

- save a dump and check that the chapters "Kernel wakelocks" and "alarms" (if you have root) are populated

- Post the dump as attachement

I will not reply to posts with incomplete dumps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rabscutle:
Point me in the discussion thread if this is better there...

Is there something I can do in the Terminal Emulator or some kind of file I can load that allows ES File Explorer to "see" the external SD Card? I'm not able to navigate to it except thru Root Explorer. I went to ES Explorer because of the recommendation from the E4GT CM9 blog, but can't figure out how to get it to explore the SD card.

The card itself is able to work without issue. I'm able to use anything on it, but I can't view it with the recommended File Explorer.

I finally rooted my E4GT (just got it monday though) and installed Alpha 4 and I've got to say that this ROM is very smooth, and I haven't had a single problem yet. Only thing I had was I lost 3G connection but toggling Mobile networks fixed that.

Also it seems my 3G speeds have doubled in this ROM compared to the stock unrooted one.

cyanogen mod gives the user, who has a phone with both sd card and internal storage, to choose which storage to use as the "main" sdcard, the one in which the system uses for apps, downloads, etc... a person like me who is a gamer loves having this option so i can use my 64gb sd card for all that lovely game data lol. this was working flawlessly for me until alpha 4 so i went back to alpha 3. for some reason in alpha 4 the system would use both the sd card and the internal storage for different things. Gameloft games would run off sd card but other games like Mass Effect would install to the internal memory. in alpha 3 they all ran off the sd card since i had that has my main.
