I haven't been following CM9/ICS until the last few days, so, spare me if this has been answered pages back, but, do we know what or why it is that we can't go below 190?

...I do miss 160...At first I didn't, I just set it and loved it with Nova launcher...and then I got a call, er, well, I was supposed to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
What app do I need to change the screen density to 200?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Rom toolbox.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
My understanding is that anything lower and the os recognizes the phone as a tablet and since tablets dont have radios, the phone app crashes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Is there any way to update profile/prl without nandroid back? I tried under sprint updates and it just calls sprint customer service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knives of ice:
man, only thing missing that i was really hoping for is a custom recovery. hopefully we get one soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qubanaso:
I changed the dencity and the ball under the sprint drop down menu changed after the change :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Lol march24 is when fc24 kernel was built.. and is the most recent kernel we have for our phones.. modem you need to flash through el26 cwm kernel.. you shouod have done it right after you flashed this rom

recovery

Hi guys,

I just installed cm9a2 and I am having a problem with the recovery. I have everything up and running, but when I reboot into recovery mode, it takes me to the stock recovery not cwm5. Is this happening to anyone else, or am I doing something wrong? Do I need to use ODIN everytime?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
If it's on the internal, mobile odin is flashing that data from one partition to another... I don't see a problem there. I'd be more concerned with flashing it when the tarball is hosted on the SD card for fear it would be somehow unmounted, which wouldn't happen on the internal. Though the potential for that is slim to none if the sd card and its physical port are healthy. Splitting hairs at this point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
This is normal, we will get a proper recovery soon enough. It is recomended that this time make no changes via recovery and if you need to update cm9 odin back to el26 cwm.

Patience is the key. We will get recovery, they are working on it and if the ICS source ever drops things will be all good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] proxy0:
Question, will I have to wipe data an such to flash updated builds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
nope
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] syphex:
This is what I'm seeing. I have actually fully removed the media folder along with all my ring tones and they still show like this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G.Newton:
New guy here, just traded Evo 3D for E4GT. If I'm coming from AOKP, I ODIN back to EL29 (rooted), then ODIN EL26 kernel, then flash this cm9? I managed to flash AOKP from stock EL29 successfully, but all these warnings of brick made me wanna double check here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Just make sure when you flash that you use an el26 cwm kernel to be safe even when upgrading rom versions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G.Newton:
Thanks. Seeing as I'm now on an ICS 3.0.15 kernel, I need to ODIN back to el26 to try this rom out.

Oh man, AOSP with 4g and camera? The Evo 3D is still trying to get these features. Spoiled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
As far as I know every single rom for this phone has 4g and camera working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlogix:
off topic but I thought deck got camera working on e3d ics?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piscesjoey:
You can just Odin the EL26 repack kernel, & after it's done & the phone restarts, just do a battery pull & manually boot into recovery & flash, no need to Odin EL29 ROM first & it saves you a few minutes too, & also welcome man, yeah I remember you from the 3D side too but you're gonna love it over here, way way less drama!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G.Newton:
See, spoiled. We just got cm9 with camera a few weeks ago, and we do have a cm9 with wimax, but not together lol.

you have to pick 1 or the other.

We have Devil Toast CM9 that has camera working, yes. We also have Toastcfh's own Wimax CM9. These features just came about within the last few weeks of development. The problem is, they are not together lol. You have to pick which major feature you want, camera or 4g.

Man, the 3D lost too many devs. Good that there's less drama. Wait, I'm a bit confused. If I ODIN the el26 repacked kernel, the phone will not boot correct? (GB kernel with my AOKP rom) So I should do the battery pull as soon as it's beginning to restart correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te45a:
If you use mobile Odin and flash El26 or El29 repacked your phone will boot up to CWM recovery without you having to do anything, if you use Odin from you computer than you have to leave auto reboot option checked for this to happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
For the last week of nightlies my speeds over 3g have gotten (slower >100) with a high ping: <500.

However, if I reboot the ping will be down to 120ish and the speeds will be fast again (<800+ down, 500+ up).

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
I have noticed the same thing.. last night i was at dinner with a friend that has a motorola triumph on the same network, hes using cm7 and pages were coming up near instant on 3g.. mine wouldn't bring up any pages.. or if it did they took over 30 seconds..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diablo311:
Flashed the 5718 kernel last night from chris 41 and so far so good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
You mean his ASOP CWM6 Kernel ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piscesjoey:
Yeah it won't boot lol that's why you have to do a battery pull after Odin reboots the phone & manually go into recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
He's been posting lots of them on his goo.im. That one is older.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abjc89:
I'm on alpha 6. Tried using "Easy Battery Saver" because it helped me so much on other roms, but for some reason caused uncontrollable rebooting on my e4gt. Anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
i'm getting excellent battery life with CM9 A6 and the latest CWM6 AOSP kernel that chris has posted. Use the Pegasusq governer and sio scheduler!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] syphex:
Well I figured out my ringtone issue for now at least. I had to clear out the media storage data and let it all resync. Now I have one mp3 ringtone listed. YAY.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wildside84:
rc2 for every sgs2 except ours released. why no love for the ept4g?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I think I need a new battery... I'm at 75% after being unplugged for an hour and a half with twelve minutes screen on time :(

Time to make a trip to the Sprint store. Hopefully they don't say my battery is ok like they did last time... I'll just take it out and show how it spins on a flat surface. Battery bulge = bad
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mxmr:
I bought two new batteries with a wall charger included on Amazon for $20. Now I never have my phone plugged in, i just run down the battery and switch it out with one of the two charged ones. Totally worth it in my opinion, I bet one replacement battery from Sprint is probably the same price.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
we just got our kernel source released, our rom works perfectly fine as it stands, so just wait dude.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
This right here. RC2 will come don't start complaining about it seriously it will do you no good in the end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I understand this is just an honest question, and nothing more. Just keep in mind that a question like this posted in this dev thread has a higher chance of negative feedback. Consider using the thread in the general section next time.

As others mentioned, we need a compliant kernel to be added as an official device. Shouldn't be too long now. Adding in changes from rc2 shouldn't be difficult. Enjoy your day.

MMS Issue

I'm new to this ROM, just came over from Evo3D and i've been trying to fix the MMS for past two days. I'm running latest nightly 7/17 and mms still not working. I read that you just need to install MMS.apk from alpha5 and that may fix it. I can' find alpha5 anywhere, only able to download alpha 6 from developer page. Can someone upload the MMS.apk file for alpha5? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diablo311:
Or download go SMS from play store and use that instead of the stock app

Works 10/10

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
Has anyone tried the fixed_phone.zip that hakcenter posted in goo? I have manually applied the fix to 7-15 nightly. The zip would be much easier for future nightlies. Wondering if the update-binary is safe (not that I understand all that)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
With chris41g's new kernel, it doesn't matter which update-binary is in any zip. ;)

I haven't tried it myself, but I hear it still has some kinks...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
4g keeps turning off and on with the new kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Ya I'm pretty sure Chris fixed the corruption bug through the kernel, shouldn't matter what is in the zip.

Needless to say I fixed the phone the only way it logically made any sense, making NEW_RING ring before loop ringing. It seems rock solid once the phone has been on for awhile, but generally immediately after a reboot there seems to be a default ring I'm assuming the thread is dropping out (500ms timer).

I'm not going to re-write the whole phone app.. makes no sense.

However it won't work if you call yourself... :eek: LOL

Go sms keeps getting more and more shady... I'd stay away from their stuff. There is a big thread here somewhere..

This was my battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
I'm not sure why you're getting those numbers, but after a day and half of having the new kernel with pegasusq with sio, I'm tweeting these numbers.

With the kernel that came with alpha 6, I was lucky to get 15 hrs of battery life per charge with the same amount of usage.

Are you on Chris's latest kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Um. Extended battery? Cuz i just bought a new standard battery yesterday and I'm still having issues...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
Let the kernel settle in for a couple days before you start scrutinizing the battery life. It should improve in the next day or two. That's always been the case when installing a new kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mightypenguin:
Confused

I had bad battery life with A6 and FF18 modem. So I went back to FF11 modem.

I left it unplugged overnight and with not moving around I got around 17hrs (with 4G enabled). But that's the best I've ever gotten. With driving to work and back during the day I get around 12hrs max. And now that I've had this modem for a couple days my battery life is tanking again. Thing is the phone is going into a non-call/data mode where toggling airplane mode isn't fixing it and I have to reboot. Sounds like it's time for a fresh wipe and flash (flashed over A5, over A4).

Because everybody uses these builds for so short a time I wonder how many long term usage bugs there are in these things. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
Nope, regular battery that I've had since last October/November. Let the kernel settle in, and see how it works for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I've been using the kernel since before it was made public lol. We'll see though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Just a head up. RC4 is on Goo

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deaver_92:
It seems that CWM6 backups can't be restored via CWM5. Cache, data, and system are saved as .dup instead of .tar so CWM5 doesn't even see them. They still restore fine with CWM6 though. So make sure you have the kernel handy in a zip file. Just a heads up to all who try to restore a backup with the new kernels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deaver_92:
How do you change the scheduler? Or does it change automatically when flashing a new kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
Grab tegrak from the market. The paid one had a lot of options
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hiperglyde:
or set cpu, rom tool box, system tuner is the one that I find myself using most often. With Tegrak you can overclock, which can come in handy. Try the free version and if you find yourself using them often, support the Developer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
I personally like no frills CPU control. Pegasusq plus SIO. Goodness.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:

RC8 has wifi but no recovery. Trying to go into recovery sends you through an inescapable loop that only Odin can save you from. There is a certain amount of risk involved with testing chris41g's stuff. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Where are you guys seeing "2.5"? I just see the RC releases..

Here you go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MidwestDrummer:
Flashed Alpha 6 and now I'm running into a boot issue. I flashed CWM5 recovery, wiped data/cache/dalvik cache, flashed Alpha 6, flashed Gapps and then rebooted. Now when my phone tries to boot it gets to the Samsung splash screen and then reboots again, then it will automatically go right back into CWM5 recovery. I thought it might've been a bad install, so I did all of the above steps again. Then I thought it might've been a modem issue. I'd used Odin one click to flash back to EL29 GB before flashing Alpha 6, so I used Odin to flash the FF11 modem.

After all of that, my phone is still doing the exact same thing. It'll only boot into CWM5 recovery. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Someone had a similar problem in the IRC. He downloaded the rom 3 times, and all three times the rom was bad. 4th time was the charm. Be sure the check your download's md5sum against what goo.im says it should be.

Also, your issue definitely isn't the modem. Either a bad install or you are flashing another kernel, and that kernel isn't functioning correctly. That's my guess, at least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MidwestDrummer:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to download the ROM again and see what happens.

Also, on the topic of modems. Which one have people had the best luck with when using CM9 Alphas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
RC8 kernel is running wonderfully on 7/17.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
...Until you reboot or try to get into recovery. Look forward to the lack of recovery and the resulting bootloops that only Odin can save you from.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MidwestDrummer:
The third time was the charm. The md5sum of the first download didn't match. The second one did match, but after installing it would still only boot into CWM5. After the third ROM download (from http://goo.im/devs/chris41g/CM/cm-9-20120628-EXPERIMENTAL-epic4gtouch-alpha6.zip), I was able to boot Alpha 6.

Thanks for advising me to match the md5sum and try multiple installations, FranceIsBacon. A thanks is coming your way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
No worries. I'm glad you fixed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Battery life is garbage on this ROM compared to AOKP. Same config but I lost 20% battery in 90 minutes with light use...

Also, ICS Browser+ does not work on this ROM. Force closes after I hit the menu button.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
use chris's 2.5 kernel... battery life is awesome.. zero browser issues, gps/wifi/tethering all working perfect...

I had my police scanner app running for 9 hours while i slept last night and woke up at 78% battery.. it was at 93 when i went to bed... i dont think thats horrible battery life.

edit: gps working after using gpsfix.. so i guess thats not perfectly:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So maybe because I have CWM6? Dammit I knew I'd never have CWM on this phone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joao2307:
Sorry Mattykinsx, but could you give me the right steps to load this 2.5 Kernel that apparently has such a good battery life.?

Is this the 2.5 kernal you're referencing: 41g-RC2_5-0718
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
CWM won't impact battery life. Because the recovery is packed into the zimage it just depends what people build kernels with
