Once you have the tar file you can flash via Odin on your PC, or Mobile Odin (but that's $5.00 in the Play Store).

Sorry for the late response.. but as others say cwm shouldn't have any bearing on battery life.. using 7-17 nightly with the 2.5 kernal, my phone is at 61% after 8 hours and thats with 1 hour of allsport GPS today and playing music at the same time. I dont know which kernel you are using but this setup is so good i dont plan to touch it until something very new/solid comes along..

Flashed to alpha 6 last night, first time flashing anything on this phone and noticed today that android os was at 48%. I also noticed some people that posted screen shots of their battery stats had really high percentage on android os. Is this normal? I couldn't really pinpoint anything out of the norm with my apps, in fact I turn off everything that updates by itself except gmail. I also turn off notification led and try to turn off everything else I can to conserve battery. I couldn't find any info on this and really didn't want to read 712 pages of this thread. Could someone help me out please and fill me in if they can?

Yes the android os process is high usage right now, the phone doesn't sleep well on the current kernel. Try this one with the suggested settings from the faq post in the thread. RC2_5 is what you'll want. It sleeps much better and I'm most everyone has great battery life with the settings suggested.

Does theme choose work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] glmooreky:
Not sure if I'm posting this in the correct place so please don't flame me. But, with the release of the official ICS OTA for E4GT, that means we now have a source kernel correct. With that being said, when you guys do what ever it is you do with the kernels (lol) does that mean we won't have to use tweaks with CM9 to have louder ringtones, be able to see our folders with out third party apps and etc... I still prefer CM9 as opposed to the official OTA because it still looks like GB. No cool blue and black theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] glmooreky:
Sigh.....a simple answer would have sufficed. But thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
I'm not sure what you mean about the ringtones, they seem to be plenty loud for me.

As for the folders, are you taking about file manager apps like root explorer and the like? I don't think cm9 has a built in file manager, and we have to resort to using third party apps, we don't have the my files app like the stock Samsung roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] glmooreky:
Yes thats what I was meaning. The ringtones are louder on the official OTA (my wife has it lol) and it also has a "my folders" option. What I was meaning...since there is now a source kernel, will these features such as "my folders" app be incorporated into future releases of CM9, so we wont have to use ES File Explorer or comparable apps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Yes. I am using it right now. ;)

1. A kernel from source will provide us with many things! Volume if the dev feels it's an issue or if his/her user base feels it's an issue is just the tip of the iceberg. Better battery life, and all sorts of good things come from it.

2. The My Files app is something that gets packed with a rom, not the kernel. As far as if it will be packed in CM9 in the future, who knows? Es file explorer is better, anyways. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piscesjoey:
1. Can't speak for the nightly builds as I'm still on alpha 6 & it works well.

2. That's the way they designed it for ICS, you may could find an apk of an older version out there somewhere & sideload it, but you may also have compatibility issues too.

It is not the same as governors. I am on Chris' latest kernel. And Touchwiz did split the messages you as the user just never saw it. The messaging app in CM9 shows us full results. You can always tell it to turn the messages into an MMS message and then it wouldn't break them up.

I went from stock FF18 to CM9 A6 and it is working really well. This is my first time doing root and using a custom ROM. I was exploring the file structure in ES File Explorer. Can someone explain what these various storage locations are? I am confused by them.

I see:

/emmc/

but also /mnt/emmc/

from what I can tell, they are identical.

I see:

/sdcard/

but also /mnt/sdcard/

which also appear to be identical.

But I also see /emmc/external_sd/

As far as DCIM directories, I see:

/sdcard/DCIM/

but also /emmc/DCIM

and the contents are different.

When I look at system settings / storage, it shows me:

Internal Storage: 1.97 GB total, 895 MB available

Internal Storage: 11.50GB, 1.00 GB available

SD Card: 7.5GB, 7.4 GB available

But when I look at Titanium Backup at the bottom of the name screen it shows me:

System ROM: 528 MB, 271 MB free

Internal: 2.11 GB, 938 MB free

Internal emmc: 12.3 GB, 1.07 GB free

SD Card; 12.3 GB, 1.07 GB free

Can anyone help explain to a newbie what all of these different storage areas are and why System Settings / Storage reports something completely different from Titanium Backup?

What made me wonder what was going on was that I saw directories in /emmc/ for apps that I never downloaded after flashing the CM9. It seems like I have some storage area that didn't get wiped when I flashed CM9. Do I now have duplicate storage areas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:

A safe bet is to read release notes which are wonderfully put together for you before flashing any of these builds. They will likely answer any/all questions you could possibly have about the state of the release.

" Stock android recovery is still being used in the ROM. This is for your protection, so you don't brick your phone due to all the people whom have flashed an ICS kernel, bricking when flashing a rom, wiping, etc. If you would like to backup or restore, or do any flashing, please go back to an ELXX gingerbread kernel, and do it from there."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schlag:
Has anyone tried this ROM with OTG USB audio?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
You need to use odin/mobileodin to flash another kernel/recovery image afterwards. the CM9 package flashes the stock kernel/recovery. You can use the latest FC kernel TeamRogue repack for performance, just remember not to flash anything to do with /system from a teamrogue recovery yet. Safe bet you should probably just stick to the EL29 CWM. It works just fine.

Yes, Any modem will work just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
It was just a recommendation.

Following the way Samsung intends these things to work, by design, using the kernel and modem which were most recently released are assumed, in general, to be the "best" if you will, certainly being most recent.

Sure, people have results that vary with modems, which is why it remains a recommendation.

Kingsway, ultimately you could flash every single modem, one by one, running speed tests on each, a few times each, and find what modem works best for you.

However, I would agree with the general recommend given the state of ics on the epic.

Let's clarify a little...

Normally once you have flashed gApps and are just upgrading you do not need to reflash gApps. A clean install does require reflashing gApps.

Nightlies, however, are not normal. Nightlies before 7/15 (don't quote me on the exact date) do not require reflashing gApps. 7/17 does require a reflash. I'm guessing the script to carry gApps over wasn't included. I'm on 7/17 so I don't know about anything after that build date.

So there ya go.

wrong. Gapps only need to be installed during a fresh install.

Some nightlies don't work properly and erase them. But be perceptive, did it erase any other apps? Bad nightlies have erased other apps for me as well.

Always have a nandroid backup. If apps are erased return to a trusted backup. Don't reinstall the bad nightly. There will almost always be a new one next night

In closing, not all nightlies work.
