yes, I've googled multiple tutorials including one for CM7, and a thread about doing it for Alpha 4 but even on those no one was able to give a tutorial to successfully add it. I'm just going to assume its not possible yet unless someone says otherwise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
It will cause bootloops if you try to change your boot animation or sound.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
well boot animation can be changed, it's just tedious if you try to change it to something other than the ones provided for CM9 because you have to do a lot of renaming of the images. The sound is the hard part.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
From this thread here.

Sound Files (if any...)

- Put "PowerOn.wav" & "1_Power_on.ogg" on root of SD card

- Open Root Explorer and navigate to sdcard

- Move "PowerOn.wav" & "1_Power_on.ogg" to system/etc​

No idea if it works but it wont hurt to try. If you do get stuck in a bootloop like Bruce Inman says, just reflash the rom again.

EDIT: Those instructions are for a TWiz rom I believe so it may be different for CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
I have tried using ROM toolbox but it never works.

I haven't tried to manually replace the files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
Yeahh those mostly work on any rom that already has sound

Rom toolbox won't and I THINK IT CANT replace the files....

But manually you have to change them

Is there any way or plans to incorporate the data transfer arrows while on 4G? I had the Nexus S 4G when 4.0.4 source hit the repo and CM9 got that feature and it worked on that device. Curious why this ROM doesn't support it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheInvsbleMan:
Love this ROM my phone is so fast while using it love all the features! Great work guys. As soon as you can get GPS working this will be my daily driver. :) keep up the great work!

BTW any eta on GPS working?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0tes:
GPS is working perfectly for most including myself.

You might have to go flash back to a GB ROM with the new stock utility, get a lock, and then flash back to ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
As noted above GPS is a personal issue and the fix is noted throughout the forum. Actually there has been a temp GB setup created just for this type of a reason. I don't have the link but its here with step by step instructions on how to obtain GPS fix and not lose any data

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Ur Kidding right? Best battery you've gotten on ANY ROM? So you set screen timeout at its max and kept turning it on? no phone calls, no texts, no browsing, and no usage whatsoever?

i'm sorry everyone. I support AOSP builds. I support ICS roms. However, there is just no denying that when it comes to battery, there is just no beating some of the established GB roms (and I think the established members know which ones I'm talking about).

2 hours screen time? Try 5 hours screen time over 48 hrs+, with actual usage.

Again, don't mean to offend the devs or any established members, but ignorant posts like these just..... tick me off a bit

peace and love to all

If you can see that's 10+ hours of texts,phone calls, xda and a few games here and there... this is the best IVE gotten on any rom IVE been on.... screen on time is screen on time... if i kept turning it on and off was because of a text/email or call . .. this is stock battery with no undervolting or underclocking or custom kernel.... stop venting and do a back flip for your 48+ hours .... smh...

P.s. its not ignorant to state a fact of what I've been getting flashing roms... its "ignorant"to complain about someone else's findings when each phone is different .. sorry devs for this interruption.... too many cats pms on here... maybe I should stop posting period and just keep flashing and smoking... lames....

With JD Plus you have to select the advanced option and set it up to turn off 3g/4g, data and wifi when the phone is in standby. This will increase battery life tremendously.

SD Card Media

I have a 32GB SD card I am using. I have a lot of pictures and a lot of music on the card. Whenever I take new pictures, they show up fine in gallery. However if I transfer them over to the card from my PC, they do not show up unless I unmount the SD card, open gallery, mount SD card, then open gallery again. I know I saw a bug listed about the gallery not loading new pictures when you have a lot of pictures. However, the same thing happens with music. If I put new music on the card via PC, have to unmount SD card, open Apollo, mount SD card, open Apollo again. This happens even if I remove SD card to side load media files. The files also do show up in file manager prior to the unmount remount work around. So is the system supposed to automatically read media files and automatically associate them with the proper application such as gallery or music player?

Anyone else seeing this issue or have any feedback?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akamara13:
Hey, thanks for the info Playya, but I can't find your thread with the link. Could you please repost it or PM me, if possible. And let me ask you, are you having trouble accessing your External SD-card in alpha 5? Or is anyone having that trouble at all OR am I doing it wrong?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Don't worry about it. That 5 hours is achievable depending how you use your device. Everyone is different. I'm on track for the 5 hours, however, my screen on time consists of basic tasks, and nothing *too* resource intensive. Battery life cannot be measured from person to person. If you are happy with your results than be happy. That's all there is to it :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Nothing that I can tell... Even when I turned off all syncing and location services... Used juice defender.. Checked out CPU spy and better battery stats, nothing looks amiss...

I even do get deep sleep...

However, it just drops and gets hot when not in use.. If I watch a couple minute YouTube video, goodbye ten percent!

Especially odd since battery life is outstanding for me on gb based roms. I also had my battery tested by sprint the other week.. They said it was great. I've tried everything.. It's like my actual hardware hates ICS? my only hope now is kernel source and even then I'm not expecting much after months of this while other people get 20+ as it is...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elterible:
For all those with sd issues.

I think I figured something out. touchwiz roms read the external sd as /emmc/external_sd but I noticed here, the sd card is just /sdcard and internal storage is just /emmc. this is hard to see at first because the external_sd folder still exists but shows up blank. try this out in any file explorer.

hope this helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FitChicago:
I'm sorry you're having that experience with the battery.

I heavily use my device (streaming audio to/from work and at the gym, Facebook sync updates hourly, Gmail & Yahoo mail constantly updating and more). Although I'm the type to charge at home and work, on the occasions I'm out all day without charge, I'm really happy with battery life.

Might try this: on a fully charged battery, do a complete wipe including battery stats, re flash ROM and Gapps, set up/customize your email & apps, let the battery run until it turns off, recharge to 100% and then see how much improvement you see.

Hope it helps

Since your awake times seem to match up to your screen times I would suspect you don't have too many background synch apps like Facebook, G+, Twitter or Tango running (or for FB you have updates disabled). The real excitement is when we can have all of those synching and still get good battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I can confirm it's an FE22 build fault. 100% FE22/FF02 kernel related. FE16 kernel worked very well.

EDIT: FF09 kernel fixes this too, but you have to wait on an AOSP version to hit for it to work with data on CM9.

Thanks for the confirmation. I've found a link with AOSP FF09 kernel here. I'll test and update the issue in bug tracker if that indeed fixes it.

Switched over to CM9 yesterday from The Goodness. Both are extremely good ROMs, but I was basically getting bored and wanted to try CM finally.

So far, mediocre battery life. I've noticed with other ROMs that you really don't get a good idea on battery life until you cycle through AT LEAST 10 times or so. I'm getting 10ish hours on medium usage, only using WiFi and no 3G.

One other thing to mention, which just seems cosmetic to me and not really a big deal, but when you long press on a thread in Messaging and go to delete it, the warning box that pops up saying "Are you sure you want to delete" or whatever, had "delete" on the right, and cancel on the left. Seems backwards to me :)

Other than that, so far I'm really digging it. Next I'm going to screw around with the themes!
