For those of you that want to try out the new FD02 kernel that Darchstar posted these are the steps I took and it worked for me:

Using Mobile Odin I flashed the EL26 Recovery/Kernel (if you're on this rom already you should be familiar with this already.)

Immediately after this I got a little nervous because not much happened and the phone turned off. Then I attempted to get into recovery by holding Volume UP while holding down power. I must have did something wrong because it went to the first Galaxy SII screen and then turned off with a blue LED light on top blinking once.

Then I got really nervous and thought I bricked my phone. I tried the steps above a second time and the same thing happened. At this point I'm already feeling sick and am envisioning walking into the Sprint store with a bricked phone. However, the third time I tried it booted into Recovery! I always seem to have a hard time manually getting into recovery with Volume UP + Power button.

Anyway, once in recovery I simply chose to install from SD card. Select the FDO2 file and flash it...it automatically clears cache and stuff so don't even mess with that. My phone then booted up perfectly. I have no idea if I accomplished a single thing by updating the kernel but it was a fun/scary experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] D_A_M_A_G_E:
I just wanted to say I am very impressed with this rom and the devs behind it !!! Great work guys !!! Installed last night with no problems ...so far everything is working great ! I also wanted to say I forgot to update the modem so I am still on el29.....but so far it seems to be working better speed and signal wise than it was on el29 :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I did that, and still nothing. Not sure why I get a completely dead gps... Maybe I'll try using Calks format zip next time rather than manual wiping.

EDIT: Sorry, quoted the wrong post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ananth001:
I have flashed and loving this, BIG Thanks for the awesome work done by devs. Would like to know what is the safest way to go back to EL29 GB. Is it ok to use the On Click EL29 ODIN Tar ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luderbeck1:
I had FD02 on. Odined the FC22 Rogue CWM repack kernel. Wiped, flashed CM9 and GAPPS, phone working great. So, Rogue Recovery to flash works just as well as CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
While this just worked for you, I wouldn't go as far as saying ics rogue is the same as gb cwm. It's not responsible to suggest this method until darch, tcp, and other aosp devs say ics recovery is safe and won't brick your phone.

Follow the instructions linked in the OP and Odin back to el26 cwm for all of your recovery needs.

Great to hear it worked that time for you. Unfortunately it hasnt for dozens of users. I just had to respond to hopefully save someone that came in here and read that. Most people have issues resulting in death for the phone. So for now I wouldnt recommend this to people.

Open the messaging app and press the settings button, then turn on always vibrate

Not sure what's going on. Maybe try using GPS status app and clearing agps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I am starting to think that my extreme battery issues are hardware related... The only reason I am posting this in the dev thread is because I need to know if anyone else is experiencing this on this rom:

I've used my phone for the past twenty minutes, during that time the battery has dropped 14% (from a fresh charge)!!! My phone typically dies in five to six hours on this rom, I got eight out of it yesterday but that was with an extremely minute amount of usage, maybe a screen on time total of 30-45 minutes.

I have tried literally everything to improve this situation (yes everything, so I'd assume any questions about have I tried _____ will be a waste of time).

Some people report ASTOUNDING battery life with this rom. Others, not so much.

My question is this: Is anyone seeing battery life as poor as mine? I understand that some people are having five hours of screen on time, with ten hours of being unplugged, and still having over fifty percent battery left (hard to believe but people posted screenshots). Considering that their screens are on for longer than my phone lasts after being unplugged (with minimal use) I would have to say that there is something incredibly wrong with this rom and my setup, or I have a hardware issue.

Before I flash back to stock and go to sprint I just want to know if anyone else is in the same boat as me? Btw, my phone has dropped 6% while typing this post.

***Also, the only thing I have not tried yet is flashing back to stock, and staying there. Others have reported that their battery life goes back to normal once on stock***
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Changing my viewpoint on the battery for this ROM...it sucks. 3.5 hours of my phone being unplugged drained the battery to 50%. Horrible!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rrmzr1:
My battery life improved after turning off lockscreen sounds and click sounds when touching screen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0ricua:
I'm getting less than stellar battery results as well. This was a couple of days ago on the FC24 modem/kernel. The usage was light-moderate and at the end of my day I was practically dead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
It happens to me sometimes but not quite as big of a drop. Maybe 60% to 20%. Either way I noticed that if you don't use your phone for the next 30 minutes or more your, percentage actually increases. I've gained as much as 10% and more without plugging it in. I think it's just a problem with reading the remaining battery after certain kind of reboots. I usually get a big drop when I reboot after something was doing a lot and the phone freezes up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Just bite the bullet and go back to el29 with sfhub's one click. It's the only way to know if it's your hardware or not. I haven't seen anyone post such poor battery life as you, so I'm leaning towards hardware in your case.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BootOne:
As for battery life, I haven't had too much trouble I agree that rebooting has the tendency to drop the percentage considerably, but then I just pull it and throw in my second battery. No biggie for me. However I was wondering if I could push YouTube from Mijjz' "the goodness" from into the /system/apps. Will I kill my phone that way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
battery life has been just about the same as any other rom on this phone has given me. Screens show i'm roaming all day w/bluetooth on and almost 1-1/2 hours of screen on time. This is definitely suitable for me as I'd end up having at least 30% battery at the end of the night when i usually plug up. Only issues i've had running the rom is the occasional loss of data (not service) and it doesn't seem to remember my bluetooth headset connection.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
I restored an older transparent version of YouTube w/o issue, but not sure about that specific version. Shouldn't be an issue though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
To add to my previous post, my battery is usually also always above 100 degrees farenheit while the phone is in use. Using navigation, or charging (separately) gets it up to 110-114 plus.

Wtf o_O

Is there a kernal with CWM for CM9 yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
No...if there was, you'd see it in the android development forum. The kernel sources for ICS aren't out yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
you won't see one until samsung releases ics kernel source for our phone, which happens within a few days (typically) of official OTA (which we don't have an ETA for)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Crsdr37:
Mount Points

Is it me or are the mount points different on this rom then they are on other ICS based roms. In root explorer the external_sd is blank but if you go to mnt/emmc it is there?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Correct. CM standards mount the external SD card at /mnt/emmc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anon9mouz:
I just had sprint reset everything its sending thru now but no telling if they are getting them I'll know in sec. Edit its going thru so it's working now.

So if u don't mind dealing with tech support they can reset u to get all working now this rom is a 100% great work the devs is the **** thsnks:D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
I've also had issues with battery life on CM9. I flashed FD02 and battery life has been great on it with quite a noticeable increase. I hope that once kernel source comes out and we have a proper built-from-source kernel that things will improve.

Cool. Didn't see it right off in the stock app, but I found an option in Handcent to split messages over 160. That's good enough for me right now. Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cvnntg:
Running smoothly here! Works great. [=

Just three things:

Does anyone know how to set it so that all downloads from the Browser go to the external SD rather than the internal SD?

Similarly, anyone know how to save pictures from the camera directly to the external SD rather than the interal SD?

Does anyone have a strange buzzing noise when the first start the camera? Once I get the camera to focus, it's fine, but before I do that, it has this consisten buzzing noise.

Thanks, all!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lesbox:
So after playing around a bit, I've noticed that while my SD card shows it mounted it's not actually letting me access any files on it. Is anyone else having this problem? It also didn't connect my SD when I connected to my macbook, only the internal storage connected. So I tried it on windows and it showed up and is letting me read the SD finally. I'm in the process of copying all the stuff from the SD to internal storage so I can reformat to see if that helps.

Depending on how far the process got, if Odin is truly frozen, close it out before disconnecting phone and pray it still goes in download mode but if its still early in the process you should be OK. Odin has frozen several times on me and I avoided a brick by closing it with the red box on top right first then disconnected/battery pull

It has worked for me when taking pictures, they get saved on my sdcard.

you really need to try it out yourself for an accurate answer to that one, bro..

They are both really nice aosp roms..

Just looking for any opinions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
well, most things work fine, very smooth using ADW Launcher, and, I could easily use either ones as a DD..

more tweaking available in AOKP; but, this is just the first "official" release, so, I am sure a lot more tweaks will be built into future builds.

Help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] D-Tronic:
I had this installed for about 3 days, and while it performs pretty good, and can easily be a daily driver. the battery life on it is just not good enough for me to keep using it.

Side note: GPS also wouldn't lock, but it's my understanding that this isn't an issue for some.

I will definitely keep up with this ROM as it updates. Awesome job guys!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayjay7411:
I've never heard of any negativity about posting about roms on dev section on xda till this whole thread area of epic touch. I own a evo3d and evo4G and Inc N thunderbolt update my experiences in each rom in dev section. I think people in these threads here have little to no respect for one and other, seems not even for op . I know I will get shunned for posting this in DEV section. However y'all check all those areas of xda and look into each thread there and tell me if you find a a damn general section for any of those roms. .. YOU WONT! Baffles me people call people out n this thread and call each other names when other simply post about the rom and there feedback which is what is needed anyways. I kinda think that's why you won't find toastcfh and others on xda anymore but do as y'all please. Continue to bash each other when all we do is talk about the amazing ness of this rom or the flaws... also how often have you seen darch post in Gen section? Never. So why mention issues or your results in that thread if he never sees it??? Thats my thoughts had to get em out, I know this will be deleted by an hour from now but someone prove me wrong about this issue and I'll shut up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ethandissi:
@jayjay I KNOW LOL I have made my rounds on xda and have no idea where these multiple threads thing has come from... I like having one thread it makes life easy... these e4gt forums are all jacked up... darch on the hero forums didn't give a crap about what people wrote or the banter just long as we shared the bugs we found lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ethandissi:
And on topic anyone notice a decrease in wifi range?

More so speed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayjay7411:
Yea definitely only get one bar of wifi in bedroom however all my other units get close to full which is odd cause this use to be best range device...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I think it's up to the dev and their request for the thread. Some don't care about what is discussed in their thread, while other devs have requested it be used for a specific purpose.

From darch's first post on the e4gt forum, he had asked his dev thread to focus on bug reporting with logcats and collaborative fixes since he reads every post. Even the mods have been in here, cleaning the thread, and asked everyone to keep OT so another dev doesn't abandon xda as a development resource.

I think the damage is done and darch doesn't use this thread to advance cm9 on the e4gt. But it's also unfair to hate on people like Matty just because they ask to keep this thread clean, sometimes out of frustration. Just remember that the cm9 general thread is there, and you're voice will be heard there also. Myself and others do our best to offer support there.

hmmm well i am unsure my speed is just odd i tried two different routers still pretty sucky mb/sec which is odd since i have two bars on the wifi display... and a 30mb/s internet... o may be the modem... what modem are you using?

Point proven, I will develop a ROM based off this feedback. Ice Cream 4. 0. 5 should be out shortly.

Just relax, if the threads were truly dev only as intended then most would be locked to prevent ur comments and my rebuttal. There are specific discussion threads for specific ROMs and are well maintained.

MAYBE if people are stupid enough to ask the same questions over and over again without researching first they are also too dumb to realize "CM9 Experimental Build Discussion" is really the Alpha build discussion.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
It just comes down to this.

Darchstar (the developer) has requested the thread be for development, bug fixes, logcats, and bug collaborations only.

Jayharper, our moderator, has asked for that request to be respected.

Because of that, I and I'm sure many others, follow this thread with notifications set in hopes for discussion on those matters.

You can call me names or make extremely immature references to me, that in any other forum would get you banned, all you want but it doesn't change the fact that almost no one here is respecting the Dev and Moderators very simple requests.

I have spoken out because I'm tired of my phone blowing up simply because people can't read and respect the dev's request (how sad).

With any luck you guys will just turn another developer away from XDA and you'll lose out.

Because that's the trend.

And its the trend for a very good reason.

Good day.
