Because it's stock recovery, not CWM or any other recovery. It won't recognize or flash files. That's why you have to flash back to EL26/29 with CWM for GB before you flash anything ICS.

capactive buttons

Is anyone else having issues with the capacative buttons when you unlock the phone? Some times I have to wait almost a whole 30 sec before my capacative buttons will respond. Or am I smoking something funny...

Is there a cm fe22 kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
I second the question as I keep looking for one. I've thought about looking into how to make once but I really am not even sure where to start. ;(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Check the kernel repository. It's a sticky and has the latest CM9 kernels.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Need a source built cm9 kernel which is still being worked on. Source built kernel should = better battery life, different governers, functional DSP app, proper cwm, etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
Yes of course but it does not yet have a copy of the FE22 kernel for CM9. It is of course one of the first locations I am monitoring and rwilco12 (the OP of that thread) is also watching out for one.

I would love to try the newer FE22 Modem on this ROM (I think that FE21 made a good deal of a difference for me on this ROM) but I have not had very good luck with letting my Modem and Kernel versions get out of sync.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
The kernel and modems don't have to be tied together. It just so happens that they were pulled out of the same build. The actual modem and kernels themselves might not even have any changes from the previous build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jnhelman:
For anyone interested or looking, the link to download the FD16 kernel on page 179 of this thread is currently an FE22 kernel (I just installed it). Enjoy!

Sounds crazy but i jumped back to Alpha 3 just for the tablet settings they didn't work in A4 and I though I had bricked my phone yesterday trying to install it from

other postings about it.

Does anyone know if tablet rom will ever work for any future Alpha's?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TriBeard:
THANK YOU. This worked well, and for anyone wanting an interim solution until we get a proper kernel/this issue completely resolved, this works.

I could have sworn this new release had a PRL update option. But I flashed it and it's definitely not there...

Whats the stock kernel/modem that alpha4 comes with?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Can someone confirm this is working for me? I don't have CM9 but if it does work I'll get it posted to the Repository ASAP. :-)

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jnhelman:
Yes. I posted that from my phone, running that kernel. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:

Anyone experiencing bad call quality on this rom? I'm running it with a uscellular variant of the gs2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wolfdragon:
I have a question that sounds noobish....can I change kernels on this rom from el16 to el26? Right now reception sucks and my battery is like a vergin teen at a brothel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad82109:
Oh so flash the el29 kernel then I can flash anything? I think I might find a good stock rom and flash it. What do you all recommend? Since a lot of my games are broken. Dammit

Edit tried flashing the el26 kernel through recovery said signature failed. Ugh. Do I need to try a different one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
I think you are talking about modems. If so, then yes you can use whatever modem you want

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wolfdragon:
@rlmiller...getting acquainted with the flash method for these phones. Used to HTC. So if you could help me cover the gap I'm apparently creating. I want a better modem/kernel. Right now I'm on el16. Between poor radio reception and the battery life (lack of) I wanted to know if changing the kernel to the 26 or 29 would increase battery performance and radio on CM9 4.0.4 and how would I go about doin this. Because I read the instructions properly and the fact u were only to use the kernel for CW5 to load CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wolfdragon:
This is where I'm @ right now... I want to change the kernel...and maybe the baseband (radio rom?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Can't use gb kernels with ics roms. You'll just boot loop
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
WOW!

Kicking myself for not trying this one sooner. This is by far the most "daily driver ready" ICS ROM we currently have for our phones.

Battery life is pretty good considering how I've used to through my cycles so far. It really isn't as bad as people make it seem. Being a heavy user, I don't expect a full day of use since I use data a lot but I can easily get 13-15 hours of use out of it. This is with sync and blinking light turned off, as those two really drained the battery! :D

Dude I got 5.5 hours of screen on time the other day lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0tes:
Having come from an EVO myself, let me try to bring you up to speed on things:

Kernels designated EL/EK/EG## are all Gingerbread based kernels, which are not compatible with ICS ROMs such as CM9.

Even certain FE## kernels, which are ICS-based, built for stock Touchwiz [think of it as the equivalent of HTCs Sense vs stock AOSP/CM] also are

not

CM9 compatible.

Having said that, because we do not yet have the full source code for our devices, the safest way to flash anything onto our phones is with the stock CMW-EL26 kernel.

You are currently on the included FE16 kernel that comes with the current alpha4 build of CM9, which some have found to be great.

From where you are at, in order to update your kernel to the latest CM9-compatible release FE22 found here, you need to first flash CMW-EL26-Kernel from either ODIN or Mobile ODIN, then boot into CWM, and finally flash your desired ICS CM9-compatible kernel and or modem [hint hint: your baseband], all in the same recovery session.

Good luck!

It did the last time.. this time it doesn't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
Damn..been on this since Alpha 4 released and haven't really measured my battery life to be honest. I try to charge it to 100% everyday and already know I'll be set for the rest of my day :rolleyes:

But I did watch some tv show episodes this afternoon(almost 2 hours total time). charged it to like 88% at noon. its 11 pm right now and im still at 47 percent...!!! just imagining if i charged it properly. and this is with about 30 minutes of pandora via data too.

normally, with these ICS leaks, the battery would drain before my eyes so I am impressed! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riddle777:
If I have FE22 in tar, can I flash directly over this ROM using Odin? Or does it have to be done with CWM?

You can flash over via Odin

Riddle777...

.tar files need to be flashed via Odin in the PDA slot.

Thats the worse bug this build have several member including me reported it on first day. Every time you turn off acreen after a few min you will loose data connectivity, to get it back anable disable airplane mode but not aleays work so reboot its the best way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
How the hell did you do that lol what modem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
i was having that bug at first, then someone suggested swapping out the modem. After i did that, i haven't encountered to bug since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dpaschall:
I didn't lose any personal settings/data. Just flash with ODEN, its a snap.

Battery life SEEMS improved, but this is untested. Everything is definitely just as stable, used it the entire day and have been very happy with it. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad82109:
stuck. i have flashed this before but i reset to stock now the phone wont boot. i clicked factory reset / wipe all then i flashed the el26 kernel via odin then i went into recovery and tried flashing this, but i keep getting a error 7. i am using cwm5.0.2.7
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
I had it a whole lot more at first but never as bad as just turning the phone off for a little while and then it would happen. I have lost connection going from WiFi to Mobile but only about once or twice and that was on the older FE16 Modem and Kernel. On FE21 and FE22 I have only had the issue when coming back to the Home Network from a weak Roaming Network. In my case the icons are still blue and the Settings page will even still say that the Mobile Network state is connected but no data until I cycle airplane mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Try downloading it again. You might have a bad copy on your SD card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
I'm using EL29, underclocking to 1ghz (can't tell difference) and keeping my data off at all times unless I need to use it. And I don't use the stock email application. I downloaded one from the market called "k9 mail," and I made it so email syncs every time I toggle my data on and off.

I also went into the settings under development (or wherever it is) and made it so the Max amount of running processes were limited to 4. I haven't gotten that every single time, but on average I'm getting 3.5 hours to 4.5.

I'd also recommend using a theme that has a lot of black in it. Having a black wallpaper, black anything is going to help with battery life too. I'm very anal when it comes to changing my wallpaper, so this helps with that too lol.

Sent from my GSII.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Yeah black backgrounds definitely help battery life. That's why I wish CM would get around to including an option to invert the mms.apk by default like in cm7. I know I can flash a custom one but would be nice if it was already included.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
I have an app I've used since the days of Motorola cliq. Its called autostarts and its priceless. You can see and disable apps that run at boot, and manipulate what apps do during certain phone events. It helps both performance and battery life. I'm sure there are similar ones out there but this one has never let me down. Think of it as msconfig for windows.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FicTioN_v3:
I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue but I myself don't have mobile data whatsoever. I can only use day via wifi. Sorry if anyone has mentioned this already. It all worked for me on alpha 3 but since upgrading it hasn't worked. Could it be because I didn't flash a modem?

Sorry, read a few pages back and noticed some mentioned and someone answered. I just want to say that my data does not work regardless of a reboot or toggling airplane mode.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
Nope i am not using anything like that but ill tell ya in my experience whenever i have the yellow triangle i run into this problem even on gingerbread. Is there any way to safely get rid of it? Could that even be the issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
I really agree. I thought FE16 was bad rather using it with CM9 Alpha 4 or even with the Stock Rooted ROM. FE21 helped with this but it seemed a little sluggish and I noticed via CPUSpy that my usage of the 500MHz clock had really jumped up...taking from time the device previously spent in either 200MHz or Deep Sleep. Both of these are back to normal...the phone responds very very well with the FE22 Modem and Kernel, Battery life is much better, and the clock percentages in CPUSpy are more back to normal.

Was at the park for two hours earlier. Mostly standby but did check messages a couple times and take about a dozen or so pictures and when I got back in the car I was still at 98%. Signal wasn't even all that great at the park I was at.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

I have never heard of the Yellow Triangle actually causing an issue. But, the USB Jig I bought was $2.69 on EBay. It was shipped from Hong Kong so it took about 2 1/2 weeks to get here but it took all of about 30 seconds to clear the Triangle and the ODIN Count.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
