this made a huge difference. i'm using juice defender ultimate. i have it on balanced and so far it seems that the app isn't screwing things up in order to save battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HotelZambia:
Long-pressing the back button to kill whatever process is running in the foreground is broken in the nightlies, since 6/21 afaik but that was the first one I flashed. Multiple installs and downloads, versions, reboots, etc.

If you did did the Gingerbread/GPS trick first, your GPS should be working fine. In fact, my GPS on CM9 has been better than on any other rom I've used on this phone. I get locks almost instantly when outside, and I can even get it in my apartment.

Installed the v5 ROM without a hitch and it's running better than expected so far.

I'm noticing that if the phone is idle, the screen will turn on every time the phone receives any kind of data in the background. I can't seem to find a setting to address this. The only sync in accounts I have setup is Google FWIW.

Any ideas? I've searched for two days and can't find anything pertinent.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saj1jr:
I haven't had that issue.

So you're saying if you have your screen off and you get an email or something, the screen turns on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greg di:
Exactly. It's almost like the network activity is waking the screen.

On the flip side, I initially had an issue where if I called OUT, the screen would turn off and not come on without powering down the phone (almost like a proximity issue). That went away mysteriously.

I am running the stable version but some games I can't play I am guessing due to the kernel and the ability to run some apps from the sd card? is this fixed during the nightlies? There are a few games I like to play that it isn't allowing me to play.

Anyone tried the FF11 kernel other than the FF02 kernel in Alpha 5? i think the whole deal is with emmc being the label rather than sdcard or /external_sd

but the internal is /emmc, and external is /sdcard. That is inline with aosp standards.

volume up key + power button

Quickboot in the app store will also work while in the OS

or press power button and choose reboot then recovery.

Now if you tried all these and are trying to get into CWM from a cold start there are a couple of QBKing videos showing exactly what to do incase you want visual assistance

Edit: you don't wait till the S2 screen comes up prior to doing it. Do it from a cold start

if i am coming from Twrp kernel for tw-ICS 2.1.8, is there an easy way for me to wipe everything and jump on these nightly's without having to odin el29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
If I am not mistaken the Twrp kernel is a *safe* kernel. There should be no need for you to odin anything else just to flash. Honestly though if you are concerned about anything I would use the cwm odin attached to this thread. It is quite quick and painless. Also the nightlies have a *safe* CWM than can be used as normal.

I am not completely familiar with Twrp for TW but if its the same as AOSP which I assume it is all should be fine. You can also ask your question in that thread and see what answer you get. I am quite sure a member or two has already done what you are trying to accomplish.

Edit: I must admit though mobile odin flash/wipe - is probably all of 2 minutes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
He should be able to flash from TWRP. The only thing that will not flash is modems I do believe. And as you said it is safe and ahould work without a hitch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dhyneland:
Quick question.. Why is the Epic Touch not listed on the get.cm site? I see the old school Epic but not ours. Just curious. Thanks!

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
There is no official support yet ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
because this phone is not officially supported by cm, and wont be at least until a while after we get kernel source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wildside84:
So does the camera always become unresponsive when you first open it on a5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidRocksSocks:
Nah. Well, at least not on mine. Although sometimes when I unlock it from the lockscreen, it goes straight to into the camera app, like I was using it before I locked it. Odd...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
I have never experienced either issue. Did you come from a clean install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3gh05t:
Ok, So I hold the power + up when turn the phone on. If I keep holding past S2 screen, it just shows the S2 again.

Quickboot doesn't work either. Now, I don't have any bars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
yes, hold power + up the entire time until you get into recovery. if you dont have a recovery, then simply odin one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidRocksSocks:
Press and hold volume up + power. Keeping holding both buttons. It should repeat the Galaxy S II screen twice then go into recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] system155:
i had this problem be for to u just have t flash a new one in for some reason it droped out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3gh05t:
Sorry, but I keep holding both buttons and it just goes into "Download" mode. I don't see the S2 screen twice now.

Should I just re-odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidRocksSocks:
If it's going into Download mode, then your pressing volume down + power.

Make sure your pressing Volume UP + power.

S2 screen -> S2 screen -> Recovery

Might want to try pressing a little higher on the volume button. You may be pressing the down button without knowing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Hahah are you doing volume down and power that's odin. Its volume up and power. I can confirm it works just did it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3gh05t:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3gh05t:
Just flashed 6/25 nightly. Running very fast. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I was getting a lot of Los also, went back to ff02 modem and it went away. Did a fresh install on 6-18 and had no issues. Then I updated to 6-26 and still no issues. Updated back to ff18 and updated prl and profile in the gb multiboot and no more los.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
The only thing I can think is to flash your preferred modem then to any TouchWiz rom and update your PRL and Profile then come back to CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I did that and it didn't work last week. I don't know if it was the fresh install that fixed it or if it was the builds from 6-19 to 6-24 that had the issue.

Hello I'm on Alpha 5 and I'm trying to flash back to my old rom but I'm not able to get into recovery. I can get into odin but no recovery holding power and volume+ does nothing just reboots.

Does this mean cm9 is official now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blkchoc3:
What did you do to get to the recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
ok, a couple of things

-fc 22 kernel is built into this; you obviously can have any modem you want, but, you should flash it before you switch to cm9, since there is no custom recovery in this rom yet

-obviously, you need to read the instructions BEFORE you flash this, but its super easy; just get el26 recovery onto your phone, either with odin, mobile odin, or heimdall; get into recovery, format system, wipe data(factory reset), cache, dalvik, battery stats; run caulks "format all", then flash cm9, flash gaps (3-17) version, and reboot!

super easy, super sweet!

If you don't understand the above, then you shouldn't be flashing this...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
I used the el29 odin full restore/root then flashed el26 cwm through auto root, everything running good other the market I cant dl anything it says error 912

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
So I have flashed this rom several times with no issues from gb and from tw ics so I figured I would share my way of flashing it.

While in rouges recovery which do not under any circumstances flash this rom from rouges recovery clwm5 only. I flash clwm 5.0.2.7 it boots right into it. You can grab the zip from clwm site.

Follow the op after getting clwm5 recovery on your phone .

Hope this may help someone.

Edit: this has worked for me with not one issue can't say it will for you. I followed the op except for how I got clwm5 on my phone. I would advise you to follow the op to the t as I don't want anyone to brick their phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
Agreed, but if I was a dev, I would definitely hide something non-harmful in the ROM somewhere, like maybe a one time only funny and humorous boot animation, but after the that first boot, it goes back to the normal boot animation, if something like that is even possible.

and ALL IS GOOD NOW FLESH FLASH AND LOVING THE CM9 ALPHA 2...WooOOT..!!!

I was reading the install process. I am on CM9 now. If I am upgrading can I odin the cwm recovery and upgrade or do I need to revert back to a GB from first and then Odin the recovery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
As per the instructions, this is a CM9 to CM9 update, so I didn't wipe anything, just Odined EL26 CWM and then flashed over top and it's working fine for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
do you guys not read anything??? not even 30 posts ago, someone else and i said that our device isn't supported by cm. please explain to me why you think an UNsupported device, still in ALPHA, would just magically SKIP BETA and go straight to RC, before other SUPPORTED devices??

cmon people, use your heads. it doesnt take a rocket scientist to deduce something like this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I wouldn't blow a gasket over his post as it is relevant. Our CM9 is built of recent or current source. If RC1 drops mainstream the changes still come to our port in time.

The nightlies last i checked are built off the latest code. If code goes rc1 it affects us.

The status of Alpha reflects the current release of our port and that itself is still unofficial in itself. The status of an supported device does not necessarily line up with how our developers declare the status of ours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
I can confirm the same on 6/19 build and 6/20 as well...massive LOS...was actually gonna call Sprint and ask wtf was going on. I Flashed back to Alpha 5 and back to full bars again. Strange.

What modem seems to be the most stable with alpha 5? I realize every phone reacts different (so people say), but I've been going through el26, el29, and a few of the leaks and still can not keep the data bars from going white randomly throughout the day. I'm going into airplane mode multiple times a day just to get it back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidRocksSocks:
I'm currently on EL29. No problems with signal or data whatsoever.

Same with FF11. If you're having problems, its not the modem.

What could it be then? I updated right on top of alpha 4 like the cm9 instructions said so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rooster85:
You do realize how stupid you sound right? There are devices with locked bootloader that have stable releases..... We still have a aosp kernel it just may not be what your used to with a source built kernel. If the code is RC worthy then we will get an RC as well. Kthanksbye
