Temple Run has worked fine for me. I haven't seen a single random reboot, across the alpha releases and across every kernel I've used with them. The sideloaded kernels I've used have been only from darch's 'fd16' post.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About the storage issues....

EMMC= embedded multimedia card (generally referred to as internal storage)

sdcard = a normal standalone sd card, plugged in to a port.

There are 3 different official alpha build releases of this ROM, and a handful of unoffficial, with a massive amount of different kernels available that may or may not entirely work with it. This creates a high variance of which of the above mentioned storage locations the resulting system will set as the default. If the default storage location that results from your current mixture of ROM/kernel isn't to your liking, Go to system settings->storage->hit menu hardkey->storage configuration. The opposite value of the one currently set will fix this issue.

In addition, whether the emmc is mounted at /sdcard or /emmc is also variable, causing even more confusion.

This wouldn't be an issue if folks would stick to official releases (which include both the ROM and a tinkered kernel,) as the team's decided choice of handling this are standardized across releases. The CM9 releases are standardized for emmc @ /emmc and sdcard @ /sdcard.

Ill start by saying I LOVE THIS ROM! but i only have two complaints AND yes i have searched maybe not hard but i have

1. i can only receive and send MMS over 3G

2. how do i get rid of the "Im watching You!" on my lock screen see attachment
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
1) MMS is sent via 3G. *EDIT* Additionally, you can send/receive while on wifi as long as you are not on a phone call with someone or airplane mode

2) Menu>Settings>Security>Lock Screen>Owner Info

Can I get recovery on this ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
Using search is not that hard, this Q/A is posted everywhere...

Currently the only recovery you should be using to flash things with the ICS ROMs for this device is the EL29 kernel w/ clockworkmod. Your CM9 won't boot on that kernel, so whatever you're doing in the recovery, a CM9-compatible ICS kernel must be flashed as well. You can do this by re-flashing the CM9 snapshot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
No reason to search if everyone provides the answer anyway.

Just encourages laziness.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knives of ice:
can someone please li k me to what recovery I should flash after having successfully installed this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
You don't flash a new recovery unless you need to. Use EL26 if you need to flash a new rom and/or wipe any of the partitions.

You might be able to get away with using the CWM that can be installed through ROM Manager (from the market) to flash themes or boot animations and the such.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knives of ice:
why would you not want a recovery on your phone at all times to switch roms or backup if needed?

there is so much conflicting info about this rom. its unlike any past version of cyanogenmod that i've used.

i go into rom manager and it says i successfully have flashed clockworkmod recovery but when i boot into recovery it is clearly not clockworkmod.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkfire2024:
I don't think MHL works with ICS; I remember trying with a Touchwiz ROM and earlier CM9. We'll have to wait until source probably, but you can try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels the same way. I had a Nexus One where you always had a custom recovery. Once I had my N1 rooted two years ago, I never had to connect it to my PC to flash any kind of ROM. And then everyone seems to think I should know exactly what thread to read, even though I search and can't kind find the right info cause I'm always seeing conflicting info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Guys chill out about not having CWM recovery. This is alpha 1. We will get it, it will just take a little time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
You can do everything with this phone without a computer too...If not, you are doing it wrong. Also, there is no conflicting info. DO NOT FLASH ROMS OR KERNELS OR PRETTY MUCH DO ANYTHING WITH ICS RECOVERY. Unless you want to brick, then by all means go ahead. This will be fixed eventually.

This is pointless drivel that has been beat to death. Talk about it in general. If you aren't willing to read the OP, or, at most, a handful of pages to understand the issues at hand, wait until there is an rc with recovery issues worked out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I haven't read anywhere that that's how it was on this phone so I think we were just both confused. On the Nexus One, once a custom recovery was on the phone, you never removed it as ROM's and Recovery's were never flashed together, so this is all new, for me at least. I wasn't getting all bent out of shape, just not used to how it works on this phone and nowhere does it really explain this all in one easy to understand place, or at least I haven't been able to find a good "Rooted Nexus One to Rooted E4GT Guide".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knives of ice:
what am i supossed to do to restore the backup i'd previously made in clockworkmod?

i mean i followed the directions for this thing to a T. the video says to load one version of CWM. another thread says to load a different version, etc. the instructions in the first post are vague at best.

what's the deal is there no version of CWM to load or what?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imadroider:
We're not there yet with custom recoveries for ICS kernels...at least not on this device. Be happy we're getting the ICS roms early/frequently. Many of you are used to a custom recovery as was I with the og Droid. On that and many other devices that we all came from the recovery and the kernel were completely seperate. On the E4GT it is not. The recovery is conected to and written into the kernel. Whatever kernel you choose, the recovery comes with it.

If you want to switch from this rom to any other rom, odin the el26 tar kernel/recovery before you begin and you're on your way. Thanks devs for all that you do!!!

PS...After you odin the el26 kernel, you don't want to let it try and continue booting to the homescreen, as you would now have a GB kernel with the ics rom thats still in place. It won't work. Just flash the el26 tar in odin and let it boot to the samsung logo. Once you see the logo hold the volume up and power key. You'll get into the cwm we all know and love and you can flash away to your hearts content.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asafegous:
Flash steadys fc22 rouge through Odin and you'll have your recovery. But be warned, any wipe of any partition could brick your precious, expensive device. If you want to wipe, flash, play in recovery, please please please do it from cwm el26. Just flash my attached zip and reboot recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imadroider:
True, but if you flash the el26 kernel/cwm recovery like I mention above you won't have to worry about that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
100% safe, non-bricking recovery to use with flashing ICS roms = EL26 with stock CWM recovery that was repacked by chrisg.

This means to odin back to this EL26 stock CWM to do anything in recovery, including restoring a previous nand backup.

All of these questions regarding which recovery to use, why is there no recovery, life without a recovery for flash addicts have been all addressed and can be found with simple searches.

Please refer to these discussion threads; they have good info that still applies to this alpha build.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Link to el26 is in the install instruct link
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imadroider:
Thanks for the links coiledwire. This is worth reposting from my edited post just a couple above this.

After you odin the el26 kernel, you don't want to let it try and continue booting to the homescreen, as you would now have a GB kernel with the ics rom thats still in place. It won't work. Just flash the el26 tar in odin and let it boot to the samsung logo. Once you see the logo hold the volume up and power key.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I also edited my post with a link to chrisg's zip and tar EL26 w/ CWM. I can't believe how hard this kernel is to find, considering there's links to it everywhere. Search!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nique0201:
Is there a way to enable the on-screen controls like on the gnex?? I can on my moms aokp from on her nexus s... or is there a zip o can flash for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
That is incorrect. Recovery is part of the kernel. So every time you flash a new rom u are changing the kernel while u are at it. All the kernels probably just used the same version of CWM.

Please comment in this Google+ thread if you have additions or corrections to make to the guide. This thread is too noisy with users who have install troubles due to not reading the install guide, so it is difficult for the busy devs to see useful discussion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
I don't see anyone else mentioning, so I will. It seems as though the back-light for our buttons stays on 100% of the time while the screen is on (noticed while using Waze on the drive in this morning to work). I was able to turn off the back lighting in an advanced settings menu, but it would be great to have the time-out like we did in GB. Possibly Goog removed because they are going to on-screen buttons? Not sure. Can anyone else confirm, or was this a fluke?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
On second thought, maybe we should have him test out flashing things with the newest Rogue kernels. We could always use another guinea pig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
@Dudebowski, I thought emmc meant external mounted memory controller... j/k

But seriously, tw roms refer to sdcard as internal in the system structure also, and external as your real "external sdcard". So its just better to have the mount for external sdcard at emmc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Emmc is internal storage. Touchwiz mounts emmc to SD card and sd card to external SD card.

The phone has internal internal storage (2gb) emmc, and sd card. I truly believe mounting them as such is the most logical
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
Nah then we would have another wrongful post in the development forum from a person pleading for the technology gods to magically unbrick his phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
I guess your right, the actual internal storage sdcard is under "external" folder, and external is "sdcard" with the usbstorage folder not being used lol.

Guess its been a while since Ive touched tw :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darendt:
Rom is great. I have not messed with it and am running the stock Alpha 3. Bugs are to be expected considering it is in an Alpha state. Battery was a big issue with 3Dchainfire installed. Once that was removed battery is much better. Still not to the level of my infuse but it will no doubt get better with time and ROM improvements. I have had app issues with Chase but that's really it. Issues with 3G/4G data when going long distance. It seems I need to reboot in order for data to work if I drive a long distance. This could be Issue with Sprint though. Can't wait for the next update, I'm a flashing whore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
What issue are you having with the Chase app? I have the app and seems fine to me. Try clearing the app's data and cache in menu>manage apps. With data, are you possibly hitting a dead zone? Try toggling airplane mode if this occurs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twilightvanquisher:
its been nearly a month since the last update for this rom? is it dead or can we expect an update with all the new tweaks to CM such as theme chooser?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
still very much alive, afaik darchstar has been busy with school and life, they just got a few new phones for the team, so we should be seeing updates very soon, plus sbrissen is working on an aosp kernel so we can start flashing and tweaking without fear of bricking
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twilightvanquisher:
alright, well i'll probably end up flashing the aokp rom for now for theme chooser to keep my wife happy, tho i personally am sticking to cm9 on my gnex, when this gets updated i'll probably make her flash back.

Rom is not dead, just progress is slow right now due to devs busy life schedules. Good news is thanks to community donations devs of the OG epic phone now have a couple epic touches and want to start helping the cause. Once everyone gets a little more free time this summer I am sure we will start seeing some good progress.

Had some lockup issues when taking pictures of checks for deposit. Happened a couple times when rotating if I didn't wait for it to finish. I could get phone to work by backing out but Chase would not load again till reboot. I also found that Gmail was pretty much constant syncing and killing battery. Since I disabled sync for gmail, battery is better. Will give AP mode a try next time I have an issue.

The last hing I can think is to try it all again but using caulkins format all... even though I thought u were not supposed to clear the system folder with this rom.

Just wanted to hear people's opinions on this ROM, since I've been so excited to use CM9 for a long time.

Is this something most of you think is up to snuff? Can you use it normally, or are you feeling handicapped one way or another because of its alpha state?

I've skimped through the thread, and the only consistent problems I see people having are batteries, but I haven't had the best battery usage from any of the other ROMs either, so unless the battery is abnormally short lifespan, I might take a swing at it if it's fully functioning right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I am loving it. I mean I use it in the same way i do stock leaks. I played with the Trebuchet launcher on it for 2 days and then went back to Apex. I have a few less things installed since well the functionality is a part of Cyanogen Mod.

But with minor exceptions its business as usual on the official posted 4/16 build of alpha 3. Netflix works i do have one minor issue with it but totally rare, very lievable. I went back for the FE07 leak and then tried AOKP for a day and came back to CM9 A3 its my home now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
It's great. Battery life, for me, is abysmal. I get five hours tops and have for the last couple months. Following everyone's guidance and advice does not change a thing.

Others however have stellar battery life... Like 20± hours (like I get if I go back to gb).

If battery life is important to you, try it out as you may have great results and it's a great rom.

Others have stated here that the devs do not care about battery life. That it is our own setup, our faults basically. I do not agree with this. If I can get over a day of use (and actually get to use the phone somewhat heavily) on a different rom with the same setup this makes no sense. Word on the street is that sbrissen may drop a new kernel based on international source this weekend that could change everything.

In the end, this is a great and highly functioning rom. I will not leave it regardless of my battery issues because it truly is stellar.

Another question about CM9, as I'm currently on Calkulins... but have had CM7 on other phones prior.

The most annoying thing about the E4GT is that if I have volume on, but headphones plugged in, no matter what, the sound of the notification, skype or anything still plays out loud as opposed to through the headphones. CM7 on my other devices played the sound through my headphones, so I was wondering if a simple switch to CM9 will at least solve this problem.

Thanks for any help!
