Also backwards for me on KBv3. With "use internal storage" checked & active, "external SD" is my internal, and "sdcard" is my removable, external SD card.

Custom ringtones work for me, but--and perhaps it's a poor signal strength issue--but my phone doesn't always respond on the first ring.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
Also, SuperUser is prompting me on every use of root for allow/deny. It is not remembering when I check the box to remember.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
this is not a CM9 issue, this is a superuser issue..

also when the checkbox is checked in storage config, it swaps the mounts, it makes them backwards.. so mentioning its backwards when the box is checked is pointless.. because you are asking the phone to make is backwards...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
+1

I was definitely confused about this when i first started running CM9. I truly understand it now. I'm not sure there is any labeling you could use that remove the confusion completely.

This may be a dumb question...

If i am on killbill now, can i reboot into the killbill recovery, full wipe, then reinstall killbill? or do i need to flash another version and recovery (like backthatassup) first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
On kill Bill.

Fresh installed,...

Home button and search button wouldn't work.

Also lock screen wouldn't save settings after reboot.

No log car sorry
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
the way it works, is that apps by default store to EXTERNAL_STORAGE.. /mnt/external_sd is EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

If you want things to use internal, we start mounting internal as /mnt/external_sd.

the way Touchwiz gets around it, they have both sds as EXTERNAL_STORAGE thats why the actual external, shows as a subdir of the internal.. its a ****ign mess, and i refuse to use that janky setup... what we have now works if you take the time to understand how it works...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
you can do that just fine..

sounds like you didnt wipe before installing, or you also installed some other zips along with it??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
I never seen this explained before, makes sense now. Thanks

Since SuperUser is CM standard, is this a hangup to getting et4g as an official device? I'm going to ping chainsdd and see if he has thoughts on the issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Lock screen works good for me. Smooth. Home and search button work :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
SuperSU is so much better, I recommend the switch.

Also still having WiFi issues with connecting and staying connected. Anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
I wiped.

I installed gapps and an update.zip that adds media sounds and supersu to /system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
How are we defining a full wipe these days? Wipe data, cache, davlik only?

Or do I need to format /system and /boot as well?

Is it better to do it manually or run the Format X2 or Wipe All .zip files?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
A Rom on my tablet had SuperSU and it just annoyed me. Maybe it's just because I'm so used to SuperUser. SuperUser has never done me wrong and ChainDD has fixed every issue that I've ever seen found.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Aren't those two apps developed by the same dev?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
That is what I thought. Supersu is nice looking and has more functions than superuser
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
no SuperSu is made by Chainfire, SuperUser is made by ChainsDD

Both great developers, but imo SuperSU is a better development... just better updated.

Chainfire is the guy who makes mobileodin, triangleaway, Chainfire3D and CFBench..

ChainsDD makes the original Superuser and Selective silence app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jahrule:
I think the hang up with making this official device is the LOS issue, but i heard kerenl source dropped or might have read that wrong have been out of loop for a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
as i understand it, its not a device issue, its everyone.. but if you want to get a logcat i will take a look and make sure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
there is no LoS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
Hey Chris, can you explain more on the issue were when i roam out of service and come back in the area were sprint is it fails to connect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thewadegeek:
Who is reporting LOS on ICS? And the "kerenl"(kernel) source "dropped"(released) a while back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jahrule:
Sorry, like i said i have been out of the loop. Has the issue with sending activation codes and updating PRL and such been addressed or do we still need to do that temp flash thing? So, what is keeping this device from going official? Is there any more issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
I've been on Chris and Shabby's CM ROMs for a few weeks now and they've been running great the entire time. What

is

stopping them from being "official" CM builds? They're definitely top notch quality so far as I'm concerned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
It being?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jahrule:
Last time i was running it.. back on doubletake i think. I only had issue with activation and PRL codes and the standard crap ICS videocam.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
I have to respectfully disagree. Although I never got actual LoS, I regularly get data loss. Problem with getting a logcat is when I'm at work I check my phone maybe once an hour, sometimes longer, so I can't pinpoint exactly when it's happening. Also happens quite frequently when coming off wifi to 3g.

This has happened to me on all modems on aosp... but if I run stock TW, it doesn't. It doesn't bother me, I just toggle airplane and I'm good to go, but it definitely still affects some of us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jahrule:
I think you are referring to how it dosent hold 3G which i have heard before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
I am. If I'm not mistaken, it is called Data LoS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Los is a loss of service which is an inoperable radio.. usually accompanied by a stop sign symbol instead of signal bars...

If you are having data problems I suggest updating profile and prl.

We all know that sprint has **** service so finding a problem in the kernel when less than a handful of people are reporting it, with no logs.. is Damn near impossible and something I attribute to the carrier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
I can get on board with that, lol. I'm in central long island. plenty of towers but too much population density. I constantly show full service but avg ~100kbps on data or less, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the culprit
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
Is this a known issue? It isn't a huge deal since all I have to do is toggle airplane mode to fix. And what causes it? Other than that and Im NOT complaining at all, I have had excellent experience on this rom. Also would it be better to just toggle the roaming to just Sprint? Btw thanks for everything Chris hope im not bothering you.

edit: I was thinking about how it usually happens and its almost like it gets stuck switching from roam to sprint. The signal bars never go back to blue and no data at all...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thewadegeek:
He just explained this....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
Chris, on your latest release the Sprint Phone Updates has a semi-force close, it's not the normal force close but instead says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." Is there supposed to be a way to update profile and PRL from within CM9 now? Or do we still need to revert back to TW to update? I'm familiar with the temp boot method people have been doing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] airesch:
He answered that a few pages back, yes it is force closing for now until he get's the details worked out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Chis, I flashed more buzz over machete and didn't see any difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
This was ending a Wifi tether session. Multiple times I've told SU to remember this access.

BTW this was working fine until the MergeMe or Backthatassup build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Machete has more buzz built in...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
There's already another build -___-
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Machete, eh? What's the new juice in there? Guess I'll just HAVE to flash that...:silly:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Ok, did a full wipe and reinstalled KillBill - and i still can't get mDNIe settings to stick. Not sure if i'm doing something wrong, or if my expectations are wrong... but the colors definitely revert back after a period of time (and reboot - easy to tell by watching the blue items in the status bar).

Also happening with haptic feedback. Related to my earlier question - maybe i'm not doing a full wipe correctly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I flashed back to machete. It was a little better but 100 still feels like maybe 60%.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] analyst28:
Is anyone having issues with Pandora on the recent builds? I have tried it on a few versions, the app starts to buffer a song and the skips to another continuously. Other streaming services such as rhapsody and I heart work fine? I always clean install from and app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xda-todd:
I regularly use Pandora with no such problems. Running Chris's backthatassup build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Scan back a few pages. The answer is "yes," but it's more likely Pandora than anything else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AshyKnuttz:
Yeah the songs just skip and wont play(on pandora). Really annoying
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
New build? Installing. Any word on the changes from kill bill?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jweavis:
Just flashed Killbill (thanks for all the hard work, btw!), it might not be related, but is there a way to adjust the vibration intensity for notification?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
Basically go to Settings, Advanced, Haptic, Vibrator Intensity, then choose how strong you want it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
i agree it needs a bit more .. maybe when he gets a chance chris can boost it up again, I would assume it best to go up in small steps as to to go to strong ..I wish i had a clue how to do any of that i would gladly try my luck at different strengths
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
with the way the numbers are.. its hard to tell whats exceptable.. so i dont want blow up your phone..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] billman99999:
Like I had said in my post a few days ago there is a 3g problem. Revert to any of the alphas and its fine. Went from alpha 6 to one of shabby 8-8 I think it was and 3g drops once a minute at least even when stationary. Pandora might have its own issues but Google music and web usage is affected. Its not a complete death of 3g it goes in and out.

Since I do not know how to do a logcat I will have to look up the complete procedure so I can try to help shed some light and help you guys out. Chris you are kicking ass and if I was closer to you I would make sure you have drinks on me and plenty of stripper love but I'm all the way down in Alamo country. All your efforts are deeply appreciated! We can't ask for more with all your doing already. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] attrapp:
Did you do a clean wipe coming from A6? I would try that cause I have really nice connectivity with these builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
Greetings, my internal SD card is not accessible from within CM9A6.

I'm on nightly 08-14-CM-E4GT-KANG.zip, and running the c41g-cwm-RC13 kernel.

If I click System Settings>Storage, I get a pop-up which says, "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."

I can't see the internal SD from within Root Explorer. I see /emmc/, but there are no contents.

If I USB mount the phone from CM9, I can see only the external SD.

I can see the internal SD card from recovery, if I choose "install zip from internal SD." I can see all of the contents of the internal SD.

If I USB mount the phone from recovery, I can see only the external SD.

Please, what am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
So is there a way to make it so Google now isn't uninstalled every time I flash a new nightly? It always removes Google now and reinstalls quick search box
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] billman99999:
Yes complete wipe. Absolutely no other problems with any of the builds. Only complaint with the alphas were long time for a GPS lock. I have logcat installed now hopefully I can help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silentknyght:
When from Alpha 6 [a] -> 8/3 Nightly -> Mergeme [c] -> KillBill3 -> [d] -> Mergeme [e] -> wipe data/cache KillBill3

Didn't have any luck with GPS lock on Alpha 6 [a], or Google Maps Navigation. Didn't have any luck with [b,c,d,e] functional Google Maps Navigation (kept saying "Searching for GPS") on any of the other instances, though occasionally (but not functionally useful) it would update the GPS position. Just FYI.

Edit: checking further, the "Use Internal GPS" option in the "Settings" menu isn't (or wasn't for me) checked, by default on a wiped/clean install of KillBill3... Curious.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
running super old kernel, for that build.. run the kernel that comes with it, or run one of my newer builds, but that kernel is deprecated, NEVER run a kernel with a build date older than the build the build you are running it on...

no.. you can look into using CM9s add.on functions..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
and I appreciate that :cyclops:. also kind of what i thought it would be alot of trial and error to find the right numbers

Just flashed machete and checked use internal storage and now its a damn near perfect build. Everything is running great except known sprint updates fc'n. Thanks again chris!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lukelee83:
I am probably about to sound like a retard, but how do you check md5? I usually copy and paste the md5 from the websites I'm downloading the ROMs from and run the md5.exe to compare md5. On some sites, such as Chris' there is a zip file and a zip.md5sum file with the same name. What do I do with the zip.md5sum files?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
If I am not mistaken, if you use goo manager, that app will check it automatically.. but I think you can open that file to view the md5 sum too

I believe apps like Astro and Rootexplorer can check them too. With Rootexplorer long press on the file and click properties.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lukelee83:
For about 3 months or so, I won't have access to wifi (don't ask, long story), so I'm not using my phone to download ROMs. I'm downloading them at work using my work computer, so goo manager is kinda out for the time being.

Thank you, will try that.

Alright, I'm going to give CM9 Alpha 6 a try, but can anyone tell me what is working and what is not working in Alpha 6?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
I use es explorer So can vouch that that explorer works
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Um... Tell us what a time machine is like.

But really, at least flash a nightly. These have been damn near perfect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Check link in op

Unofficial nightlies are also being built and are more current and stable than a6. Search chris41g.Devphone in Google to find the download page. Don't have a direct link on my phone for you.

No actual list for the nightlies but I'd say 90% of everything works. Just a few tiny hiccups here and there. I would personally call them high level betas if not RCs

Thanks, I guess I thought heptic feedback was just for touch feedback.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but native 4g wireless tethering is busted on the machete build. If you enable tethering with 4g connected it will turn 4g off. However, the tether then turns itself off and 4g comes back on automatically. Lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
the md5sum file is just a text file containing a line with the filename and the md5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Never checked that, but with use internal checked my Galery works perfectly.This setup makes it stock ff18 like. I leave mine checked so my apps that I moved to sd card show up in my app drawer. When I unchecked it they disappeared. I like this setup because I only like to use my external sd for music, photos, and flashables.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Data connection loss has been happening to me since 3/16 experimental builds when I got on cm9.

Seems that radio doesn't re-establish 3g connection once lost by either traveling between towers or going in-n-out of thick walled buildings. TW roms are able to lock on 3g again, but aosp doesn't seem to do this automatically. Usually toggling airplane mode is enough to get 3g back. This tendency is independent of prl/profile updates.

I've posted at least 2 separate logs of having 3g, losing it, and failing to get it back. I can't see sh*t wrong in the logs though. When I get to a pc, I'll search for these logs and link to them. I can recreate this data connection loss easily when at work. I'm more than willing to help collect logs and fix this issue. I just need to be given some direction.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silentknyght:
FWIW, I have this same problem, too. Easiest to experience by spending some time in the basement of some big building, and then going back outside.

Also, running Machete, my internal/external sd card understanding is so messed up. I don't know what's what, or what's supposed to be what. I can't find my external SD card anymore, and the music apps like "Apollo" can't, either. Same goes for File Explorer. I've tried checking/unchecking the "use internal" option in storage, but I still don't see any appreciable difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Did you reboot after making the change?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
i would appreciate the logs, usually a dmesg and logcat is best.. also i would suggest trying the el29 modem, when i was using the phone no modem was near as stable.

simple, all apps will keep data, and download by defautl to /external_sd directory.. you may need to clear app data, and delete or move the app data stored on your mmc cards...

Just wanted to ask for suggestions on how to track down what's causing my phone never to enter deep sleep, I did turn notification light off just about 15 mins ago so I will edit this post if that helps. Other than this, cm9 ftw, I mean I can't even imagine this phone on TW!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Yeah the notification light did it for me and my phone sleeps like a baby. I turn off all lights, capacitive buttons, and vibration lol.

I was honestly debating on dumping this phone and getting the Galaxy Nexus, but I hope this phone picks up some development. I hate touchwiz and I'm only getting a Nexus line phone from now on. I'm sick of waiting for source and all of the problems we are running in to.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Killbill had the storage right, not machete.I know what you are saying with gallery, but i care more about the location of my external card. In root explorer, external_sd should be your removable card. SDcard should be your internal card.. On machete, it was reversed. If you put in the check to use internal, yes, pictures show up in gallery, but the cards are revesed in explorer.

Maybe i am wrong, but i like how killbill had the storage.

According to the charge icon it was not, looks like it had been just removed.

No, I did just take it off the charger, one of the reasons I noticed no deep sleep issue was my battery started draining very fast and phone was hot even when in pocket for an hour

Machete is pretty much the best I've seen on this phone to date. No reboots, GPS, Bluetooth, 3g/4g, WiFi all working flawlessly, as far as I can tell. Props to Chris for a fine job on this ROM/Kernel.
