I've found that 190 works very well if you want all of your apps to still work right. I believe 180 will make your phone app FC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
not a big fan of small icons. tried it at 200 before, but i just like the way the icons are.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Agreed. I set my font size to small and I'm loving it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N4STYNATE:
Following the above directions, and making the value 210, will simulate the exact same density as the Galaxy Nexus. Not too big, not too small. Just once you change the DPI using rom toolbox, make sure you push the correct play store with a DPI mod hack, otherwise a lot of apps will not appear. Here it is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1580827
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mexhawk06:
Which one should I download? I set dpi to 210 and it looks perfect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N4STYNATE:
Told ya :-) Exactly like the GNex (and other HD screen devices)

Do this one: Vending.3.4.7.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi240-signed

But make sure you follow the directions perfectly. Not that its dangerous or anything, but if you dont do it correctly, you will be in the same position you are in now (a lot of apps not showing).

Once you got it perfect, when you update nightlies, flash the rom, but do not re flash Gapps. No need anyways, but just telling you this to be certain. If you do re flash gapps in the future, you will need to repeat this process, as gapps contains the "official" play store version. Once you flash a new nightly in the future, all you need to do is change the DPI in rom toolbox again. Thats it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
You guys should try DPI 206... if I'm not mistaken, that's the perfect density for our phone ;)

I was looking to find the safe recoveries to flash from, is the rogue recovery safe? I am currently on calks rom but want to move to this since he is MIA now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
no its not.. TWRP, or the CWM that comes with CM9. thats it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Agat says he included whatever it is you include or do to make his safe to flash. Is that not the case. Not arguing legitimatly asking.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Question is did he also do the thing where you replace the updater binary to a safe one when flashing zips. An unsafe zip in a safe recovery is still unsafe unless the recovery takes even further steps to prevent the zip from doing certain things. I believe TWRP uses its own updater binary now when flashing zips rather than the one in it.

Thats all of course at this point in time. IIRC once we have kernel source we should be able to null/rewrite some lower level things to make otherwise unsafe calls safe.

Just recently when the "new" AOKP came out people were super bricking like crazy. Never looked into it but pretty sure people were flashing what was an unsafe zip for ICS on safe (as well as unsafe) ics recoveries because they did not know that CM9/AOKP roms at the time were still not safe to flash due to the updater binary in the zips. Alpha 6 and the nightlies are safe, i dunno about AOKP 40?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
Awesome!

I just found out that in Alpha6, you can enable lockscreen widgets to appear before your security lockscreen (pattern, pin, etc). This is an awesome feature that has been in AOKP for a while and I've been waiting for it to be included in CM9!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
Are you talking about the weather and calendar or something else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Chris said in a post in the AOKP thread that it was safe. Times said he used whatever was in does_troys folder, forgive me if I got the spelling wrong, and assumed it was safe to use. Chris chimed in a few post later and said it was. As far as agat your guess is as good as mine on that one. Thanks for the info though. I sort of see what is needed to make a recovery "safe" at this point to an extent.

When we upgrade alpha versions, should the phone's baseband version update? My phone says kernel is FF18 but the radio baseband is FE22. And if it's okay, can I just flash a new modem from http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Epic_4G_Touch/Modems ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N4STYNATE:
Use Odin, on a computer that is...

Extract the modem zip file and place the "modem.bin" into the phone slot. Easy and always safe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
There really isn't any recommended modem... the best modem varies from phone to phone depending on location. People just say EL29 because a lot of people seem to have good reception and data speeds with EL29. Just test out many different modems and see what is best for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Personally I've always tried to match modem and kernel. I feel I get the best results that way. But that is me. You may have the same or different results.

Which is better CM9 alpha 6 or nightlies?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
Better to ask in the general thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te45a:
Alphas are usually more stable than nightlies, its up to you which one you prefer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sai5o4:
Yes. As long as you flash the correct kernel according to what type of ROM you have you're good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deaver_92:
I'm sure this has been mentioned a couple times but search sucks on my phone and for some reason I couldn't post in the general thread.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Why is it so quite in herrrrrr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N4STYNATE:
Not sure how that's possible, you sure you are setting the DPI to 210? If you set it below a certain value it disables the phone function as values below a certain point (I think 190) are only for tablets, which of course don't have phones built in.

I have been running a 210 DPI for 6 months and use my phone daily.

Also as an update, el29 has given me no LOS. I think I'm 100% happy with my phone right now. GPS locks are less than 5 seconds this past week, I'm amazed. I downloaded a lot of the maps to my phone so it's very fast from entering an address to starting navigation.

Now if only Sprint would get on top of their **** and fix service for me.

LMAO just got a LOS :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te45a:
How are you flashing alpha6? Are you using Odin for direct el29?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Seddy318:
I saw in the installation guide that all I had to do was flash it through recovery without wiping or anything. I have not updated the modem as I didn't know I had to. Could that be my problem?

**Update**

Flashed the EL29 Modem using Odin.. rebooted into recovery and attempted to flash Alpha 6. Still the same outcome. Dead android guy. :(

And also... I purchased The Clockwork Mod Touch from the Rom Manager and flashed it through thr Rom Manager... when I reboot into recovery I still get the recovery that came with CM9 Alpha 4. WTF Gives?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
It's a good thing you did not wipe at least or you would have possibly bricked your phone. Alpha 4 did not include a cwm recovery, what you were in was the stock android recovery. Alpha 5 removed recovery, it is not until Alpha 6 that a safe cwm recovery was added in.

To get to alpha 6 from alpha 4, you will need to odin/mobile-odin el26 or el29 cwm and just flash.

Flash this kernel in mobile-odin

You are a life saver because I was literally over here screaming at my phone. I went through a half a pack or Kools in the last 30 minutes because I was just that irritated.

Ok um... Odin has been in the "now writing' stage for like 10 minutes now...

This has been the worst updating experience ever. So Odin originally failed... Got the message talking about Kies update or whatever... I was able to reflash through Odin and it went through fine... Now my phone is stuck in Airplane mode... I just cant win for losing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te45a:
There is how to video in the OP by QBking watch that and see where it goes, also I would check md5 and make sure your download wasn't corrupted, just in case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
you should really be careful, you don't flash a modem to flash a recovery, recoveries are embedded in kernels. You really should flash everything with EL26/cwr5 kernel for everything unless you are clear on which ICS recoveries are safe to flash with..

Just restore to stock and start over, use stock EL26 kernel (safest) unless you are clear on which ICS recoveries are safe to use for flashing ..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
I thought they needed ics source for cm9 and jb source for cm10?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Wait what? Like for our specific phone?

I think once we get a proper ics kernel source for the e4gt it should be able to be adapted for jb as jb is just an incremental increase to ics. Where gb to ics was a complete Android rewrite. I am not saying I am 100% correct but I think we will be fine. The general jb source code is supposed to hit the aosp repository in the next few weeks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:

I've searched the forum for a remedy, but none found. Has there been a fix for the excessive volume jump when tracks are skipped (namely happening in Google Play Music). I've checked all my volume settings & from what I see nothing is out of place.

It wouldn't be so bad if the volume jump was minimal, but the volume shoots up quite a bit either when you manually skip a track or it does it on its own.

Hey guys. Just flashed the Alpha 6 today. This is the first root/flash for me on this device (though I did many other times over on the Evo 4g). Installed kernal; wiped cache, dalvik, etc. Installed the cm9 A6. Everything looked fine, but once I got away from my wifi, it appears the data isnt working. Did I miss anything (modem/prl)? Any thoughts off the top of your head?

I can send/receive text messages. It does show full 3g coverage in grey bars.

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
People have been having a little bit of an issue that was not common in Alpha 5 with Data LOS. You can try the tried and true airplane mode toggle. I live in a 4G area 4G worked most of the time but it would fail to fall back to 3G alot.

Ive since changed to the Nightly 7/6 and its working fine for me on that. Had to do a full wipe though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcviperboy:
The airplane mode toggle did work for me. Thanks!

Also - when updating to Alpha 7 (of whatevers next) do you all wipe or simply apply the zip from SD?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr. Turbofan:
Just got this installed and it seems very responsive to tapping buttons and such, very snappy. Excited to have Touchwiz gone!!

I am noticing, however, that it seems laggy in terms of scrolling responsiveness.hen scrolling in menus it doesn't "stick" to your finger the way I'm used to. I have an EVO LTE as well as a nexus S 4g and they're both far more responsive in scrolling response. Edit: I should note that I have adjusted the touch screen responsiveness and it makes no difference in scrolling responsiveness.

Any ideas? I know it's a small detail but it's driving me nuts!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
You can just apply the update. Cache/Dalvik wipe for good measure there is certainly no harm in it but often not needed.
