Its not quite that easy. That's true on other desktop linux systems but on our phones it is done differently. You can use a command in adb shell or a terminal emulator (I don't remember the exact command off the top of my head).

The easiest way to do that, imo, would be to load up mobile odin on your phone and point it to the zImage.

Another way would be to install heimdall and run the command "heimdall flash --kernel /path/to/zImage" on your desktop with the phone in download mode (you will get a triangle"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
My experience with flashing kernels is on android phones only, never done it on a desktop. I remember using adb to push a custom kernel, before they were able to make them flashable/signed zips and it was only three or four command to do it.

I don't know exactly what the team did, but this rom is running marvelous!! Best battery I've gotten on any ics rom.. BRAVO!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I'm getting good battery life as well. I was using navigation earlier today, screen on, connected to bluetooth, no charger connected, and only lost 7% battery over twenty minutes. Keep in mind that active navigation is pretty much maxing out the phones processor.

So color me impressed so far.

Ok so my gps is not working at all and I want to use gbkings gps fix. He says that I can just flash any GB rom get a lock and then flash back to CM9. However, I'm not at all familiar with this <3e> android system recovery, and there is no install zip from internal storage option. Is there an easier GPS fix until custom recovery is back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
GPS is fine here. Did you do a clean install?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
yeah, wiped everything...actually its the first time I've done that in awhile cause I knew CM9 would be worth it. Everything else on the ROM is amazing (even coming from unnamed)...but no GPS at all. I just tried that gpsfix app from the market and that DID NOT work. I'm just not sure how to go from rom to rom (when running CM9's android system recovery).

Good to know
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oddlou:
I've done it by flashing EL26CWM (Odin or Mobile Odin) to flash stock EL29 rom, get a gps lock, then flash CM9 per the instructions. That's worked for most, I believe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
Auto root package doesn't work on my vista pc for some reason, so I'm going to try using ODIN, does anyone have the EL26+CWM file that I need to use in odin. I can't seam to find the correct .tar file....that's all i need right?

Market

Anyone know how to let the market know that I'm a Epic 4G? For some reason on the stock ROM I can see some apps that aren't available on this ROM. I go to the Play store online and it says this app is not compatible with your device, but with the stock ROM it works fine. Apps like Gmail or The CW for example are not compatible and it also shows a new device on the devices list in the play store.

Anyone know how to change this? Build prop? Kernel?

Other then that, this ROM kicks ass! GPS, 4G, Wifi and everything else works great! Battery life is better then the leaked ROM's and I must say, I'm really impressed by how smooth and stable it runs! I feel like this is more a RC then a alpha! :P

There isn't an AOSP kernel for us yet. What darchstar and others that make CM9 compatible kernels, is change some of the config files and add/remove scripts to adapt the TW kernels to ones CM9 (and other AOSP) can use. For the most part what's in the TW in the kernel and and a true AOSP one are pretty much the same.

well i kept on getting the "adb server is out of date. killing..." message, but eventually el26CWM did go through. My phone is in the process of restarting now, but I still see a yellow triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
I think they revert to 3G/4G to listen for incoming data and will wake wifi if there is enough data that needs to be transmitted.

Personally I've seen the best battery life when leaving wifi as always on.

However in some cases an app on the phone will cause excessive wakelocks for wlan. I know for some it was Skype. For me I'm not actually sure what it was but it went away. For this situation sleeping or completely turning off wifi actually helps because it prevents the wakelocks.

This is one of the causes of the AOS bug. More information here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1290020

It's a bit old but mostly still relevant. Based on the searching I've done on this topic and AOS in general I believe the primary issue is a bug in the wifi drivers which Samsung has yet to properly fix.

Only thing I can think of would be to do a complete Odin - rom/kernel/ etc. I'm pretty new to the SG2 world though. Rooted a couple and just picked mine up the other day since my beloved Evo 3D was stolen. :/ I believe your 2 main choices would be:

Then you could Odin the CMW EL 26 kernel for CM9 and reflash the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bavarianblessed:
It sounds to me that you are flashing the stock EL26CWM kernel and trying to boot afterwards. If that's the case then that is your problem. Sorry if I'm reading it wrong but you absolutely cannot boot into any ICS ROM running a GB kernel.

You may want to try this method instead, it's worked for me every time I flash CM9 or CM7.

Make sure to have Calk's_FORMAT_ALL script on the SD along with the ROM and gapps package.

After flashing the stock EL26CWM kernel boot into recovery.

Flash Calk's_FORMAT_ALL script.

Flash the ROM.

Flash the gapps package.

Reboot.

Again I apologize if this is all common knowledge for you. It works perfectly for me every time though so I thought I would share. :)

After numerous boot loops from auto root, one touch odin, and regular odin, I finally went back into recovery, factory wipe, then installed gunslinger, then install unammed ROM, then got a lock in google maps, power off, then followed the CM9 flash instructions again. Now I'm all good, but wasted 3 hours that I could have been working (which is my loss since I'm self-employed) However, now I have GPS on CM9, so I'm content.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiekan:
EL26 is a Gingerbread kernel. It won't boot CM9. Thats why your bootlooping. You're only flashing it for the custom recovery. Soon as you flash it, instead up booting up like normal, press and hold volume up and power and hold it until you see CWM.

This is a fantastic ROM and I'm experiencing no major issues with it.

It's fast, responsive, and has decent battery life on my device (similar to Caulk's ROM'S).

I had an issue with the market not syncing my purchases after a full wipe Install, but a reboot fixed it.

With that said, DO NOT FLASH A KERNEL OR MODEM FROM ONE OF CAULK'S ROM'S TO THIS ROM. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

If you want the newest kernel, use the one posted by the OP a few posts back.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiekan:
You're right, people should NOT flash that kernel, if they're running CM9. But if you do, it will NOT brick your device. It just won't boot into Android. There is a difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
playing catch-up in the thread so don't know if anybody answered this guy, but for anybody wondering this...

we won't have a stable aosp kernel until samsung releases the ICS kernel source which happens a few days before/after OTA. as of right now, we're using modded kernels. you'll see a boom in development all around once OTA is released

the fact the the kernel we have now is so stable is nothing more than another sign of how good the devs we have are
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
What you're doing wrong is trying to use the recovery that came with it. Odin the el26 stock CWM kernel with the auto reboot option turned OFF. After odin is done just hold volume up and power until the recovery screen comes up like you normally would and flash from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
Alpha1 and Alpha2 don't actually come with with CWM, they have stock recoveries. To install Alpha1, you first had to use odin to put CWM EL26 on the, phone, and then you had to boot into recovery on your phone where you could then flash Alpha1 to it, but once Alpha1 was on the phone, you no longer have a custom recovery. If you want to put Alpha2 on the phone, you'll need to use odin again to put CWM EL26 on the phone again, then boot into recovery and then you can flash Alpha2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Yeah, you need to flash a kernel that's been modified for CM9 to get your phone to boot. Modems, however, are independent of the OS and can be flashed on both TW and AOSP roms.

I was trying to find the kernel that was baked into CM9 so I could restore my backup and couldn't find it. I did extract the kernel from the rom, but I wasn't sure how to flash that on its own so I haven't played with it. One other way that was suggested was to restore my nandroid, and then just reflash the rom after and it would be good to go too..

I can bypass the original kernel and use the FD02 kernel and be good? That would solve my dilemma for sure..
