If you are referring to the persistent *86 vm notification, there is a fix for it.

Search in the theme/apps section for the persistent vm notification fix (its a modded phone.apk). There's manual install instructions so you don't need to worry about using recovery. Although alpha3 is set to have this notification fixed for good.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
In alpha 3 you will be able to downclock the cpu and it sounds like darchstar plans on adding native cpu overclocking to stock kernel as well (once we get a proper kernel). So many good things on the horizon, just hard waiting for it ha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Seddy318:
I wanna start by saying that I am in love with this Rom. GPS works great and locks pretty fast and I didn't have to do any fixes. My 3G data is faster than it was before I installed this Rom. Haven't tested 4G yet but i'll do that when I get home. The same goes for the wifi. I absolutely LOVE the music widget built into the lock screen.

I do have a few questions. Im sure they have probably been answered in one of the 155 pages but I tried searching to no avail.

1. I remember a previous CM rom that I installed on my OG Epic that had notification icons that were animated. (ex. the sms icon kinda spun around and zoomed in). Are these being worked on or were they scrapped?

2. I also remember being able to change the phone answer type in the OG Epic CM Rom. Has this been scrapped also or is it in the works?

Thats all I can think of for now. Other than that everything is great! I cant wait until the theme, icons, dock etc. are fully functional.

Thanks DEV's for your hard work and dedication! Blanca (Thats my phones name) is happy again! LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Kernel question for you guys:

I flashed the FDO2 kernel that darchstar himself posted here like 2 weeks ago and for the most part it has worked fine but I have been experiencing occasional LOS that requires me to toggle airplane mode to get rid of. Would you guys suggest I try the FD02 Rogue Repack kernel instead?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
Its been low level for me on Fd10 I always thought the modem that was best has been el26. Might be a heck of a lot slower but, on higher modems I can get Los but never need airplane mode to fix. I'm on fd05 modem and it's alright. I know you talking kernel but stock kernel has always been my friend.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lopezpm:
I'm running it now and it's been working great
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I hear what you're saying about the modem potentially being the problem, and that makes sense. However, my modem has remained the same since I first flashed this rom and I have only experienced sporadic LOS since I flashed the FD02 kernel darchstar posted a while ago which leads be to believe this is more kernel then battery related.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
1. Was a theme. Cm9 doesn't have theme support... yet

2. I'm sure more customization options will come in time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Never got an answer on this...

Can I use steady hawkin's FD02 CWM kernel on this ROM without breaking anything?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Apparently YES according to numerous posts on the last couple pages. I'm thinking about giving it a shot because I had some LOS with the FD02 kernel darchstar posted a while ago. Of course, now its working perfectly fine so I will hold off until I get another LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Does it improve battery life at all? That's my main concern...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I guess we'll find out after we flash it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
There are no modifications to the kernel other than what's needed for an aosp boot and recovery. (And maybe init.d support). Haven't really looked at the kernel. But no, there is nothing there that suggests an impact on battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So, kinda useless to flash it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
The VME bug has a really quick fix, just use the posted phone.apk and delete a single file in the dalvik cache. Its in the customization guide, since doing that I haven't seen the bug...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
If any of those things interest you then no its not useless. If nothing benefits you then I'd say don't worry about it for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I'm running fc24 for both modem and kernel and I get the loss of data seemingly whenever I get into a weak signal area for a period of time. It's been like that for me for every kernel and modem up to fc24. I keep meaning to get a logcat of this, but running fresh networks app is also another way to reconnect data.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I hate to beat an old horse to death because I know I asked this before but never looked for a reply because it will suddenly work: I cannot send an MMS message. Tried using Handcent and stock. This is getting annoying...I know I have sent numerous MMS on this but for some reason this keeps coming up as an issue. Anything I can do to make this work consistently?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
I was having trouble here is what I did:

1. Install CM9 as per directions.

2. Boot phone, set up, login to google, etc.

3. Download file explorer. Delete telephony.db.

4. Boot into Android Recovery.

5. Wipe all data/cache etc.

6. Restart phone.

7. Set up phone again and use.

Two things would still happen to me:

1. I would get MMS from people but it would not auto-retrieve and download button didn't work.

2. MMS would hang and not send.

Airplane mode on/off would fix both these issues. (As opposed to before where no rebooting or restarting network would fix it).

NOTE: This is by no means even close to a "real fix". Just from my experience, I couldn't get MMS to work AT ALL, and this is how I got it to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
If you are using Rogue fd02 repack, I ran into the same issue with mms. Stock alpha 2 kernel works fine:-)

sent from my Epic Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I appreciate you trying to help but no I can't send or receive MMS. ****k me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Sometimes it takes a bit for it to go through. Try clearing your messaging application data after you purge telephony.db and then reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Telephony.DB is located in data/data...correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
You tried doing all that and it didn't work? Also, when you go to send the MMS see if the two black arrows are going. If its not sending but they are going the odds are it working but taking a while.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

And yes.....data/data in a folder caled blahblah.telephony. Make sure to delete the .db file NOT the folder.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Much thanks to you and barnacles...it appears to be working for the moment. Even with these little problems CM9 is still better than stock. Somehow I feel cutting edge and daring knowing I can brick my phone any given time I do anything in recovery. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
Lol, I have a feeling someone is going to flame you for asking this in this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
They'll get over it.

I guess the question and person I really should have asked was if Darch will be working with the Nexus. I'm never one to disrespect someones thread, but as mentioned I guess I'm more interested to know if Darch will be working with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Does installing GoSMS fix your MMS problems? You don't have to use that program, but you'll be able to send/receive MMS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Not sure if this is a statement directed towards me or a question. If its the former I will definitely give it a shot if my MMS troubles continue. Can u use that w/o using GoLauncher?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmfeny:
You can use just gosms and not go launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NORCALkID:
For people having issues with MMS the only way I have been able to send mms is by connecting to wifi ... I cannot send mms through 3g/4g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dadoc04:
^ mine seems to fail when connected to wifi and works while im on 3g/4g.... lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Dock settings has been introduced into the ROM.

Is this referring to the car dock or the dock option under launcher in settings because I can't even enter that menu. When I hit it, it does nothing. There isn't even a placeholder. Reflashing didn't help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
MMS requires mobile data to send. If you send it while on wifi your 3g will connect momentarily to send out the message.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Noob question: how do I get apps on the external SD card? the internal SD card is getting full and I gotta move some crap to the external card but it seems that when I try to do so it saves to the internal card instead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angel9190:
Go to settings>apps and choose which app you want to transfer. Keep in mind some apps don't have that capability.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I can get into the setting but I have no sound through desktop dock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mightypenguin:
Ok but.

A major feature of setCPU is that you can "pulse" synchs so a bunch of them happen together and aren't all spaced out. I think I saw somebody ask for that on the G+ page. Is that going to make it in as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Good Quality Git

I wanted to thank the team behind this release for making their source code available in a clean manner. The source was fully buildable and appears to be working just fine with the Beta3 and beyond features.

Edit:

Actually getting a sleep of death issue, but I was also getting that running Beta2 with FD10 kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I'm almost positive doing that will place the apps on the INTERNAL SD card, not the EXTERNAL SD card. I know older versions of CM had the option to choose the default storage location for apps. CM9 doesn't seem to have that feature yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jbuggydroid:
Not yet but it most likely will in the future. I use gl to ad to move the extra game data to the actual sdcard. But as for just moving apps that will have to wait
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neuteboomt:
I believe what you are looking for is found under settings | Storage | menu | storage configuration | check Use internal storage. If this is check you might have to configure a few apps with the new storage location.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btaylor545:
For those of you looking for a work around for the sdcard to show up under /sdcard/external_SD folder instead of /emmc seen this post in the AOKP thread thought it might be helpful in this ROM as well. Tested it on cm9 and it works so here's the link.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
But this problem doesn't occur on gb roms, does it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Chrome browser still crashes when using more than one tab.

Its not a problem. The led light just stops the phone from going to deep sleep because it uses the CPU. This is there on gb roms too. There just isn't an option to disable it on a tw gingerbread rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
To pulse the notification light takes CPU power. It needs to think to do it. Therefore the phone will not go into deep sleep and hence, will have shorter battery length.

Awesome work on the rom guys! Can't wait to test it out tomorrow, just flashed now and everything seems just fine for now! :D :D :D

EDIT: Nevermind, i found the setting under storage settings, hit menu and then usb computer connection, mass storage.

I was having the same issue and at the end it was not the cable, it was a corrupt CM9 installation instead. I went back to GB with full ODIN restore, did factory reset, installed EL26 CMW5, and wiped cache and dav and the CM9.

I like to have the stock kernel on hand so that I can reflash it after I ODIN to EL26 CWM and perform backups etc.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
This should not be an issue anymore on alpha 3. The way the phone handles mass storage was changed requiring a persist build.prop edit should you of flashing FD10 on alpha 2. However, the change made its way into alpha 3 and you should not have to go to Settings > Storage.

It was the build.prop that needed an edit. If you're on alpha 3 then you're good to go.

You still need to Odin back to el26 cwm to flash this.
