Thanks man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
Just flashed the rom earlier today, and I've been having an issue. About 5 times already, my phone will no come out of sleep and is getting hot. I can reset (hold power button for a bit) to get it back, but it'll lock back up in a few minutes... it's actually getting worse.

Any input?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] keebler021:
I haven't had that sort of issue personally. I'm assuming you did the full wipe before flashing? Any tweaks that you installed by chance?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
Installed per instructions, using MobileOdin to flash the GB-based CWM first.

No tweaks yet. I was using a wallpaper from my gallery, rather than the baked in ones, so I'm wondering if that's the issue (I hadn't noticed the locking up until after I did that).

Any reason to switch to CM9A5 from AOKP build 37?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
You do not need to flash the GB rom to fix GPS. Use the temporary stock GB on the Epic Touch CM blog, install GPS Status, get a fix, then reboot and flash CM9. No backups or restore of CM9 needed.

Theme Chooser, ftw.......though i may give aokp a shoot once Theme Chooser is fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I understand wanting to use the built in client, but for the purposes of troubleshooting, trying a market app is a good idea, then at least know if it's a system wide problem, or just the built in client. This is still and Alpha, so we're just going to have to be patient as they get all these bugs worked out. I myself am just excited to be running CM9 at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kahm:
Awesome rom, awesome work so far! Besides the noted bugs so far (and the newly discovered inconsistant MMS bug), I have two bugs to report. I'm not sure how the logcat might play into these bugs specifically, so I don't have one for them, but if theres a moment that a capture of a logcat would be helpful, then let me know.

The first is kernel-overclocking related, so I know that once we get our own kernel we'll probably be OK, BUT... the default governor for this build is 'userspace', which keeps the clock around 200mhz most of the time. It shoots up and down, but its hovering much lower than I'd like it to. Switching to performance makes it shoot up to the stock 1.2ghz, but after going to sleep, it lowers to 800mhz and stays there. It'll go back up to 1.2ghz if you select performance again. I've found that the default setting makes the experience a lot less smooth than it could be, the keyboard, for instance, is hard to type fast on when its clocked this low. I kind of think that for the time being, the default should be set to performance. Thoughts?

The other bug is one I had on my old Epic 4G (the one with the keyboard) on CM7: When you're in a call, and the screen is off, you can't adjust the call volume. You have to bring it away from your face for the screen to turn on to make the adjustment. Default behavior is that you can turn the call volume up or down in a call without the screen being on. It's a little annoying to have to say 'Hold on' to the person you're talking to, just to turn the call volume down.

That's all I've got so far! Hope this doesn't come off as complaining. Just trying to nail down all the odds and ends. I've been using this for 3 days now and it's more the a DD for me. :) Thanks for all the hard work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Headphones.... can anyone verify that the volume is working correctly, last time I flashed CM it was super low
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ethandissi:
i have no issues with headphones also bt audio works fine on here too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
edit:

Android Wifi Tether works when set to Nexus CDMA.

That doesn't explain this issue with Orbot.

Orbot needs a proper netfilter as well and it errors out trying to enable its transparent proxy for all apps. I assume it's problem has its roots in the half-assed kernel from samsung.

I've used the headphones daily in my car since the first day of this ROM, they work fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brooklynzson:
Great rom, I'm loving ICS!!! The only problem I have is the pressing the menu button to unlock doesn't work & if I get a text message while listening to music through the aux, the sms sound will go off and and the music will stay muted. Other than that this rom is flawless.

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

Go to settings>>change device profile and change it to galaxy nexus. That's how I got it to work for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Android WiFi tether works fine, you just have to set the device profile to Galaxy Nexus CDMA.

Is anyone noticing drop calls. I'm curious I had 2 dropped calls not sure if it was the other person's phone, area or what.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shawheim:
just tried to install this by following the instructions to a T and watching the QBKing videos and it didnt work. when i went to flash the rom i got the cant open sdcard/update-cm-9-20120324-snapshot-epic4gtouch-alpha1-signed.zip (bad). im redownloading the rom right now to see if i had a bad transfer from pc to phone and gonna try again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mgianni19:
How to back up?

How can I back up this ROM? I flashed it and now lost my recovery, I know QBKing posted a video on this, and it seems as though there is no way to back ICS CM9 up? I have to go back to Gingerbread Kernal in order to back up?

It wasn't this confusing on my EVO, lol.

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
Be sure to check the md5 and maybe try a different USB cable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
I have only dropped a call once and it was exactly 180 minutes into the call. I suspect it was a forced drop by Sprint or the conference system I was connected to (long work conference call).

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
we don't have any ics kernel source yet and on these phones, the recovery is linked to the kernel. So we won't have a solid way to backup and flash new rooms within ics until Samsung releases the kernel source. My understanding is that that happens within a few days before or after the ota gets pushed out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
so android 4.0.4 was released earlier any ETA???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
No. It hasn't even been pushed to the cyanogenmod upstream yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Sorry if this has been posted, but I searched and didn't find it.

I flashed the ROM clean, didn't restore any backups, and I'm still unable to download MMS. I don't even have a telephony.db when I search for it, is that the problem?

Any ideas?

edit: I think I flashed an old gapps package, could that cause it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Temp ban please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
It should be finished precisely at 12:36 pm on April 1st, check back then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Try clearing data on mms app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Yeah, I tried that, still nothing. I'm downloading the newest gapps now, I didn't even think about that when I flashed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wildside84:
I lost recovery on cm4. Is it safe to flash cwm through ROM manager or do i need to flash the kernel again through odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
I mean AOKP seems stable now... I'd switch for more fun functionality though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ntsp00:
Been having an issue with having no sound for keypresses or any system sounds, finally tracked it down. Reflashed and had keypress sounds up until logging into my Google account during setup. Nothing would bring them back, reflashed again and have yet to login to my account for fear of losing them again :(

Any ideas what could be causing this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Is there any custom recovery that support CM9 yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
No. As said in basically every thread over and over... No kernel sources have been released for ICS for the E4GT. Until this is done, you have to use the GB recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
Battery life is amazing 10 hours on the charger %100. :confused: thank you guys for making not want to use my upgrade to get the galaxy nexus
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0tes:
Do not use ROM Manager. You have to ODIN or MobileODIN the el26 kernel and then boot into recovery and flash from there for safest results OR use the new Directboot Utility.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
getting pretty bad battery life with alpha5. just from sitting for 8 hours 7 minutes while i was sleeping (less than 5min screen on), the kernel alone ate up 36% of my battery. something in the kernel is keeping it awake it longer than it was supposed to be sleeping.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I know people ask for a recovery but the steps to gain recovery are so simple I am confused as to why this remains such a big deal. Hell now you have mobile Odin and a tar file that boots right into recovery. We got to stop sweating the small stuff especially when developers are trying to look out for our safety....

My bad back on topic....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Agreed. It's pretty easy to mobile Odin. Plus if you need to access recovery but don't want to flash a new ROM, then just mobile Odin el29 our 26, do what you need to do in recovery, then flash an ics kernel in recovery and you're good to go. Sure it's an extra step or two, but it doesn't take long.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
Any body has the new kernel in zip form? Ty in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Not out yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Please people just follow directions, it is so simple. Anyone currently running CM9 has stock android recovery for now. What do you need it for anyways? Just do exactly what the instructions say and you're good.

How to Install or Upgrade CM9

1. Download the Direct Boot CWM5 and flash with Mobile Odin/Odin/Heimdall.

2. Flash Alpha 5 update .zip

3. Flash gapps*.zip. if its your first time flashing CM9. If upgrading you can skip.

4. Reboot phone

If you cannot do this, you need to stay stock unrooted.

GPS FIX

Alright guys guess some of you forgot about this already or just missed it. All you need to do for a quick GPS fix is follow these simple instructions here Temporary Stock E4GT from emmc. If you need more help doing so, go to this thread for more help or PM me.

Also, here is the CM9 FF02 kernel in .tar form if needed, Flash through Odin/Mobile Odin/Heimdall and reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Doesn't make sense. Rogue Recovery was a custom recovery that worked on ics
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Also, I keep getting a Parsing Error when trying to download and install Swype Beta to CM9. Is this a known issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
It "works" but has been known to brick phones. Use at your own risk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
again everything is great but still no 4G hotspot hack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
This is not a bug. It has been disabled on purpose due to sprints Terms of Service. This has been stated several times.

If you need 4g hotspot download an app from the market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Yea maybe for backing up or just booting into it and looking at the menus but flashing a rom through it resulted in bricks for some. Look through the thread again. Steady Hawkin said so himself

"Warning-

***DO NOT USE THIS RECOVERY TO FLASH ANY ROM***

Known Issues-

-Flashing anything for ICS is risky and could result in bricking your device. It has been said a safe bet is using stock EL26 CWR to flash. By flashing our repack you agree that we are not held liable."

What good was custom recovery for if we couldnt really do anything in it. Just take the extra couple seconds to use either the directboot CWM or the el26 cwm kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foggie is so Epic:
as i already stated. i DID flash using cwm. i dont get what your having me try . the way that your sugessting isnt using cwm. its using mobileOdin correct? and going back to the gapps thing... i undstand that not all gapps will install but NO google apps not even PLAY

Thats why you flash gapps add-on. So you will have google play, gmail, etc. Sounds like you didnt flash gapps after flashing Alpha 5.

From what recovery are you trying to flash from?

GPS lack of....

I have not had any GPS issues with any Rom. All of FB's to FF's have all had a working GPS. Every CM I've installed from Alpha 2 to Alpha 5 now has had no GPS lock. Forget that, they don't even see any satellites. All I get are 0 view. Clear AGPS, reset AGPS makes no difference. Go back to EL29 and get a lock, then flash CM9 gets nothing. I love CM9, but this GPS issue is killing me.

That's it for my rant. Now back to FF02, and wait for Alpha 6, or Beta 1 to try again. :-).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrDowntown12:
Highly unlikely. Neither Apple nor AOKP would have that effect. They would have the opposite effect if anything, cyanogenmod would pump out more stuff than ever before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Weird..then why AOKP, venum, and many other ICS rom have it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Maybe you should go asks the devs of those roms.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caketime:
Do you have a hacked phone.apk?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justin24:
Recovery?

So I followed the steps posted in the Install Guide:

Use the Direct Boot CWM5.

You must flash this with Odin or Heimdall.

Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM9. Otherwise, you risk bricking a phone

Wipe data and cache.

Flash update*.zip.

Flash gapps*.zip. You must gapps after every upgrade to CM9 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.

Reboot phone

After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.

Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!

If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.

It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.

but when I want to go to CWM by holding vol up and power it just boots to the phone?

It worked on alpha 4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0tes:
The CMW zip of the new FF02 for CM9 is in the kernel repo. Check the sticky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
He must be using the hacked one kbizzle posted. Im doing the same :)

No recovery, Darchstar removed it from Alpha 5. What do you need recovery for right now? If you need it that bad, just odin the directboot CWM or the el26 cwm kernel.

Check his kernel repo or go back last page and I attached the FF02 kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justin24:
In case I wanted to go back to a GB rom. So would I have to Odin the Use the Direct Boot CWM5 in the future or if I wanted to have cwm and then restore. Which is what I am guessing.

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

also sorry (noob) my baseband version says unknown.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foggie is so Epic:
still having problems

tried your way just for the hell of it. it was nothing different form what i did. only difference was that you used mobile odin to get to CWM and i used odin to get to CWM.

steps that i did.

booted into CWM the reset,then i wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik. i flashed CM9, then the Gapps from 4/29 then i rebooted

still having the same problems.

problems

1 NO phone calls (incoming)

2 home button not working

3 no GAPPS not even PLAY

4 no recovery at all. no android recovery or CWM.

when i flashed cwm via odin as opposed to mobile odin i at least had android recovery with the same problems. any help would be greatly apprieciated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Odin the el26 cwm kernel and do what you need there. About the baseband, just odin the FF02 modem and see if it changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazostyle:
What theme is that? Mjs2011? It's cool
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
SCS. You can find it in the google play store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
I've had none of the problems you listed. I would just restart the whole process and redownload the Alpha 5 update and gapps to ensure they werent bad (or just check MD5's). If you flash gapps, you will have the Play Store so idk that doesnt make sense. Yes no recovery at all Darchstar removed it for now. If you need CWM recovery, odin the el26 cwm kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
Share the theme please
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Guys, I've seen this posted a billion times now. Darchstar removed recovery completely from CM9 in the latest Alpha 5 update. If you took a couple seconds to read the release notes you would have seen this.

Release Notes

In alpha5, we decided to get rid of the ability to reboot into recovery. Mind you, this is temporary. This decision was based on the user not being able to do anything in the recovery to begin with, with the eMMC bug in our devices' firmware, currently. This ability will be added back in the next public release of Cyanogenmod 9 for the Epic 4G Touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foggie is so Epic:
your telling me things i already know. even tried the updated Alpha 5 from 6/6 i have the el26.... thats what i used in odin... so im pretty much stuck with this not working... . unless someone can help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
I can see that. I'm telling you to re-download the Alpha 5 update and latest gapps from a different mirror this time to ensure you didnt get a bad download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
SCS from the google play store!

Could I get ONE volunteer to test a modified CM9a5 install that should theoretically be safe to flash in ICS?

If this test goes well we should be on our way to being able to flash CM9/AOKP without needing to go back to EL26. I'm sure folks will appreciate the reduction in flash complexity.

See this post for details.
