It works. I odin back to el29 stock, get gps lock, oding el26 cwm kernel, flash cm9 and gps works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ANTHONY81L:
i decided to try it for myself .. went outside and got the quickest lock ive ever gotten .. so im good .. i did a full wipe from scratch when installing ... after i booted up i odined fd10 modem .. then used triangleaway and rom is unstopable for me .. no complaints
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] difrent7:
Love the rom and just donated what i could for a poor college kid =]

Only issue I am running into is when i take a picture in landscape and try to send it over MMS it sends but rotates it 90 degrees so its sideways. Anyone else have this issue? No a huge deal but still a little annoyance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatone17:
1. Flash a GB rom (I use the ODIN/one-click EL29 rooted GB rom located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101)

2. Go outside and get a lock (I use a GPS Test and Google Maps)

3. Turn off phone

4. Turn on, booting into bootloader/download mode and pick up the rest of the steps here: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html

Got GPS lock for me like a charm. Still wondering about wifi tho....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
Try again. I flashed once and the icon wasn't even blinking showing it was trying to lock. I flashed el26 and did a nandroid restore to el29 wiped data booted locked gps in maps flashed cm9 and boom gps. It works it just may take another try.

Oh first time I had el29 modem 2nd try was fd19.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevilStrider:
Most people that are having GPS issues are trying it in doors. Mine did not work on another rom when in doors. I stepped outside and got a lock almost instantly. So go outside and try it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RichTJ99:
To confirm from flashing from Alpha 2 to alpha 3 without losing your settings, go into download mode, flash the EL26 kernel, reboot into recovery (which should now be CWM), flash alpha 3, dont wipe anything, dont reflash gapps, reboot & i should be good to go?

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

One other question- When I am using the phone, the volume always defaults to the middle on speaker phone or BT. Any ideas on how to make it full volume?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
For your first question you answered it yourself. You should try Mobile Odin...it makes things a lot easier and faster. If you do try it it you would select KERNEL then find your EL26 KERNEL/Recovery file and then choose flash. From there you would have to manually boot into recovery by Volume up + holding power until recovery menu pops up. From there do exactly as you you wrote in your post.

In terms of your volume issue idk about that one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:
And yes you have to flash gapps again after.

From the install notes:

" You must gapps after every upgrade to CM9 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons."

I flashed the CWM5 recovery

Flashed alpha3

Flashed gapps

Reboot

Done :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] D_A_M_A_G_E:
For GPS issues ...what worked for me was to go back to el29 gingerbread and get a GPS lock and then install cm9 GPS is flawless on my phone and locks almost instantly .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordFan21:
You actually do not have to flash gapps if you are upgrading. Play store and the other gapps will still be there.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
as stated multiple times. some people have luck with undervolting and underclocking, but until we get kernel source, odds are doing either could cause the sleep of death issue. It's not the worst thing as it can be undone, but the amount of people reporting that outcome keeps me from even attempting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So I hear we're going to get nightly's now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musikalharmony:
The rom has been very smooth for me and I got my battery on the right track now..but I noticed an issue I'm having is the menu will randomly pop up when I'm trying to text or play a game I tried taking off the vibration on the keys next I'll try heptic feedback and see maybe if that's the problem but if not does anybody know a possible solution?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Not til Dar finishes a kernel from source. Sounds like he's close.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
how's he going to be close to finishing a kernel from source if we have no source. unless it's a gb source?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cheebahawk:
I have CWM installed but the CM9 flash keeps aborting. (Status 7) and it aborts the installation.

Any ideas on why this is happening? I basically tried all of the mirrors so I doubt it was a bad download.. I wiped everything before trying to flash CM9 (I am coming from Caulklin 2.9 GB).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
So can we get a conservative governor with that also?

Only reason I'm not daily driving an ICS ROM is the battery life not being anywhere near the GB ROMs, due to that governor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
Are you formatting the system when before you flash? If you format the system, it will wipe the build.prop and the install script needs to read the build.prop to make sure your installing it on the correct phone. Try installing without wiping, then wipe data/cache after the install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Just a quick update. First phone was just purchased on ebay. Looking forward to purchasing a second by the end of the weekend!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cheebahawk:
Yup that seems to have been the issue. Running CM9 right now. Do you have to reflash CWM after flashing CM9? I tried going into recovery, but I no longer have CWM it just says manual mode...

I guess one of the bugs in alpha 3 is no external SD card access? Not a biggie but just wanted to make sure that it is a bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Not a bug. It's located at /emmc or /mnt/emmc.

Also, check the OP links for install guides. You need to Odin to el26 cwm to install. You lose recovery when flashing to help avoid bricking the phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
What were the steps that you took to try and get Alpha3 going?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gh0zt718:
For some reason alpha 3 is worse that alpha 2 in a lot of ways... Battery life is the same if not better but GPS still can't get a lock to save my life and I've tried everything except going back to GB I WAS able to send mms but now after a couple days I can't not complaining or asking for a fix so before super cop matty jumps down my throat just know this is just me saying my issues and until the source is released add awesome as ics is I'm gonna have to go back... It sucks but I use GPS way too much to not have it but I can't be patient that's a ton darch for everything you're the man!!!

Restart my phone in to recovery mode and update from external sdcard. I also try to wipe data and cache but it didn't help. Oh and I am current on alpha 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interpole00:
Make sure you are using recovery from EL26 (Gingerbread) kernel, even if you are updating to alpha 3. You don't need to update Gapps. You may already have done this??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
nevermind
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vuo69:
No I was trying to recover from alpha 2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interpole00:
Flash EL26 kernel (1st page, click on CM9 install guide), then upgrade. This goes for any ICS roms, for now, until we get a kernel from source.

On another note, is it possible to fix the mDNIe settings in Advanced menu in Alpha 3? The settings don't work like in Alpha 2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
Here you go what? You can't use the kernel that's stock touchwiz on AOSP. Plus this is old news. We need the kernel modified for CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
It is broken. It was included by accident in CM9. It will be removed in alpha4.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
Those arent touchwiz, its an aosp rom they are working on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoothone:
Possibly, I use it on AOKP and my 4g works. But worth a try. You can always flash back.

If you use a TW kernel your phone will not boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
It definitely works as you can see below.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] js2shanks:
I followed QBKing video on how to install this rom.I downgraded to the Tar file he provided via Oden, then installed CM9 and gabbs. Everything works perfectly except my CMW...It says E:update file is backed up:update success in red...I can't install any updates via CMW or update my modem.Has anyone else experienced this problem at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
That's because you no longer have CWM. The ROM comes with a stock AOSP kernel. You need to flash the EL26 .tar thru Mobile Odin or regular Odin if you want CWM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
You may want to read more on running CM9. There's a discussion section in general. To answer your question, once you install the ROM in CWM and boot it, CWM doesn't work. You should have updated your modem after installing CM9 and Gapps. Now you need to go back to Odin to update your modem.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LilRico:
I'm also having the same problem. I'm using Dolphin HD. And if you go into Facebook, and use Desktop view it will have issues when you zoom in. You can try to delete a post, but you won't be able to click on the delete button zoomed in. It just doesn't draw right or work like the stock ROMs. Also when you go down a few pages in Facebook the scrolling gets weird. You try to scroll down and it'll automatically shoot you up 7 post and you have to try to force it down so you can keep on reading post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
there's nothing wrong with the wifi in this ROM. what about your wifi doesn't work? does the toggle not work? can you not enable wifi? can you enable wifi but not see networks? can you see networks but not connect to networks? can you connect to networks but not browse the internet? what exactly isn't working with your wifi? you have to be specific.

I can enable wifi but I don't see any networks. I press scan and nothing shows up. I even tried adding the network manually and no change.

There must be a problem somewhere since I'm standing right next to the router.

I posted a link a page back with those kernels and FD19 kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
There's no text reflow in the stock browser. The only thing you can do is go to Settings, Accessibility, and change the text scaling. Lower % to see more text but smaller font and higher % for less text but larger font. If you notice everything adjusts but only for double tapping and not for pinch to zoom. I used to use Dolphin HD but prefer the way tabs are handled and quick controls of the stock browser. I'm really just waiting for the ROM to work with Chrome. I do miss the reflow though but double tapping around is okay. It's just too iPhone-like because the scaling is what Safari does.

Edit:

Just gave Dolphin HD a try again to see if it had text reflow and it's not happening. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems ICS itself doesn't have text reflow for the browsers. Or maybe I'm just not seeing the the right settings. All I'm seeing under Page content settings is Text Size and Default zoom which is the equivalent of Text scaling and Zoom on double-tap for the stock browser.

Backup- Flash el26 cwm5 kernel. Backup. Flash ics kernel.

Restore- Flash el26 cwm5 kernel. Restore. Flash ics kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Ohh so the reason I wasn't able to boot is because I never flashed the ICS kernel...so the backup process does not backup the kernel?

Also, my backup had some weird date, could have been corrupt?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
The backup process does backup the kernel. If you backup an ics rom with a gingerbread kernel youre gonna get a gingerbread kernel in your backup.

I dont know about the dates. I dont make backups within recovery. I suppose it could be an issue with the backup or it could just mean the timestamp is off for some other reason.

Bug with photo taking

If you use a Send Photo action in any app that supports it, taking a camera photo directly from another app makes it appear sideways..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
For anyone interested and still having the SOD issue, this is what I did to get rid of it:

I recently (desktop) odined the EL29 one-click, then once the EL29 GB rom was up and running, I mobile odined the EL26 kernel. I then went into recovery, wiped data, cache, and dalvik, and ran Calk's format all. Finally, I flashed the cm9 zip and then the gapps. This resulted in no SOD...awesome!

Side note, I then did the same process but added two other zips to the final flash process. One was an add-on that enabled a brightness slider and toggles in the notification pull-down. The second zip was the FD19 modem (which is AMAZING btw). So both of those are working for me as well with no issues.

Thank you everyone for your help figuring out this SOD issue. I seriously love this ROM. Why would anyone want a GN over this at this point (except for NFC, which I am intensely jealous of)?
