Isn't that for storing apps to internal sd card? I didn't need to have that checked for previous kernels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reinaldistic:
alarm is waaaay to quiet and the ringtones suck... this a known issue or is the rom purposefully crippled like that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
It was intentional to see how long until someone complained. :rolleyes:

Have you tried turning up the alarm sound?

Because my phone doesn't have an issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Alarm volume can be changed and if you dont like the ringtones add your own. There is a folder on the sd where you can add alarms and notifications.

Maybe you could search on how to do it ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
It's not an issue and it's not purposely crippled.

Either create your own ROM or try another. These guys work hard to share their work.

Appreciate.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reinaldistic:
I've tried changing alarm volume and the highest it goes is still about 75% as loud as my custom ringtones sound on the music app... also to the other guy I'm not trying to be mean or depreciate the rom, I wouldn't be running an alpha if I didn't think the rom is as marvelous as this rom is... so excuse my wording I'm just foreign
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
Not sure how to take this, but..........If you want to complain about something, then put all your free time into developing, away from your family and friends, that you do not get paid for, and see what you can come up with. Do not come in someone else's development thread and make remarks like this.

There are plenty of apps that you can download ringtones, etc. And for the volume.....Search and read......and read......read.

Please. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LostRealist:
Is there a work around for the fact that you can't save videos from websites anymore? I always used to "Save link" and it would download my favorite video but on this rom there is only "Save image."

Thanks. Love you guys.

With fd26 kernel for some reason even when I select internal storage, sprint NBA mobile is no longer installed upon reboot. What gives?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Most likely an issue with the app not supporting ICS properly yet. Could be wrong though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayjay7411:
Yes it actually is suppose to be set up that way. If you would like to use internal memory check mark this under storage settings press menu
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
Worked fine with fd16 kernel, I think it is fd26 related. Power amp also sees double of everything. It sees folders such as emmc/music as well as /music. Weird
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0tes:
PowerAmp sees double because its scanning your music folder for both external SD and EMMC.

You have to go into Settings and de-select one or the other and then re-scan.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Mounting points should be fixed in the next alpha. If you check the github you will see this commit and I can confirm right now that they are working correctly on my phone.. :p

Are you still SoD-free? I've tried a similar approach (Mobile ODIN EL26 w/ CWM, wipe all, reflash) in both AOKP & CM9. However, mine stays SOD-free for a short period of time. Can't figure out what is causing it since I'm

not

touching any of the clock settings (or using SetCPU), and am only restoring User apps via Titanium Backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayjay7411:

Does anything need to be edited in that tar name to flash? I wasn't sure since it is just titled zimage.tar....I saw one posted somewhere in the thread that was listed as fd26.zimage.tar...

Just want to make sure i can use either one without editing it before I Odin it that I don't cause any issues.....thanks in advance

If you flash the alpha 3 rom without wiping you will keep all data and have the stock kernel

E4GT CM9 Team has posted a link to the latest gapps version, posted 4/29/2012 on their official blog

Direct Download gapps04292012 from goo.im

flash EL26 stock/CWM5 kernel, reboot into CWM recovery, flash CM9-A3 again, new gapps package, boot into system. Optionally, then ODIN/mobileodin your preference of post-FD10 kernel. So long as you don't wipe anything, data will be in tact.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Looks like a working custom kernel is getting closer. Sbrisson has been doing some good work on his github!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
I will donate $20 to the E4GT CM9 team if they post a custom kernel and an official CM9 release before Samsung leaks their final. I'm pretty sure I'll be on the 'losing' end of this. I wish I could help them with the coding myself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Haha most likely. Also, I recieved one of the purchased phones today. Will be shipping out to Mkasick soon so he can work on Kexic for our phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
Search failed& on mobile, what's kexic? the name alone is intriguing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
The fd26 kernel darchstar posted can be used with codename alpha 2 rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Sorry i spelled it wrong. Its "kexec".

Kexec is a special linux feature that allows us to boot a kernel within a kernel. WE could use this to boot touchwiz roms and other kernels etc from clockwork mod. A very useful feature. Once you reboot the phone it goes back to normal. This is a feature that has already been implemented on the OG Epic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec

You should probably ask this in the codename thread.

Hey guys i was wondering if any of you kind fellows would tell how to update this rom to FD26. I've already downloaded the Zimage but I'm completely stumped after that. I would just wing it but seeing as how the thread is full of many experts, I thought it'd be safer to just ask. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Use either odin or mobile odin. In odin flash from pda while phone is in download mode.

You can get to download mode by holding down power, select reboot, and choose download.

For mobile odin choose kernel then flash firmware.

ok maybe i missed something or its my inner noob but i flashed this the other day and when i went to mess around with some theming i rebooted into recovery and went to some weird stock looking recovery. is that normal? did i fudge sum'in up? would appreciate any info. thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] batting1000:
CM9 doesn't have clockword mod or any other custom recovery. What you saw was probably the Android stock recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ns4g4me:
ok. thought i messed something up. so i would just flash the mentioned recovery posted a few posts up then after that reboot into recovery correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] batting1000:
It's not really recommended to flash stuff on ICS just yet, but you could try.

cool better just leave it be for the mean time then. just wanted to know about the recovery part first. thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Modem won't help you. Search the forums for qbkings tutorial (its been posted here many times). I'm mobile so can't atm. Essentially you'll need to Odin to gb. Get a gps lock. Then immediately reboot to recovery and reflash cm9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
Right. I've seen that method. Some people have GPS issues; some don't. Modems affect gps/3g/4g and other stuff, so why wouldn't it help with gps? Im on el29, so flashing fd26 couldnt hurt, right?

At all or for phone calls and notifications? There's an option for "Vibrate and ring" in the sound settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Well then to answer your original question you can't mobile Odin any modems. You'll have to Odin el26 kernel. Flash a modem. Then reflash the rom or a kernel meant for the rom to get it to boot again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
I think build.prop is responsible for the vibration lengths
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
In my case it was SMS and also emails.... I even went into the profiles tab in settings and change from no override to on and also went into message app and turn to always on and it didn't work... but if I switch to only vibrate mode (no sound at all) vibrate works... so vibrate+ring didn't work for me... aokp errything works so far...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raheem387:
So I can so emoji's when people text but not when they are used in apps such as twitter or instagram can this be turned on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
you need to go into the settings for the apps you want to vibrate for notifications and set it to "Always Vibrate". By default they are set up to never vibrate. Any time I set up a new ICS rom i always go to Messaging, Email, and Gmail apps and change the individual settings.

Had the same issue a while back when flashing to Blazer's ROM. System vibration settings weren't working. I downloaded "Sound Manager v2" from Play Market which had direct system vibration settings.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MRMonaco:
Yes, you can use this ROM if you are coming from other ICS ROMs. However, it is important to note that you need to closely follow the flashing instructions in order to avoid bricking your device (it is imperative that you use the correct kernel+recovery). Also, if you are coming from one of the leaked, stock ICS builds to AOKP/AOSP/CM9, then a wipe of the user data partition (factory reset) is highly recommended as well. To make your life easier, use Calkulin's "flash all" zip before flashing the new ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

I've had signal issues with mine as well. Not necessarily static, but my bars always seem to be one or two, where I've have had higher previously. 3G data has also been unreliable, and in many cases, slower than normal.

However, it looks like the recent modems have been ruled out. Also, from the way that it looks (based on other posts), it could be the recent AOSP kernels. Of course, this has yet to be confirmed. Either way, I think these are all isolated cases since everyone is not complaining.

You could set your signal status style to show your actual dBm value. I vaguely remember something about the bars not reporting the dBm value averages correctly. Your signal could very well be normal. -60dBm is standing next to the tower, -120 you're hiding in a lead-lined bunker.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Which ROM did you port from and how? My current understanding is that AOSP-based ROMs (AOKP, CM9, etc) are fin.e to flash directly over each othe, but stock systems (Samsung Twiz-based) should be wiped first because of the vast difference in layout of the filesystems.

Then again I'm also pretty sure darch has a pre-installation script to check/force a sane installation environment anyways.

------------------------------------------------

Keep in mind that the CM9 installation zip contains a new kernel (Alpha3 is FD10)... and when flashing a new kernel, it's important to give it time to settle into your hardware environment for the battery life to stabilize. There's also some important tweaks that need to be done post-installation to maximize battery life:
