Holy crap guys. Continue this in pm before your idiocy gets yet another thread locked. I come here to see what problems people are having and what work arounds are found in case I have the same problem.

I don't come here to see pages of children having an idiotic internet argument.

Yes, development is for development, but these threads are where everybody goes for advise on the roms. So just let them ask and if you don't like it, don't comment.

Try growing up just a little and let's please try to stay on topic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
My MMS was REAL shaky to begin with and now it is pretty solid....

I would install the rom as per directions, delete telelphony.db, go into default android recovery, wipe everything, then set up my rom how I wanted. I still get MMS that won't send sometimes but airplane on/off fixes it as opposed to before when nothing would.

I think the problem that a lot of dev's on here are having a hard time excepting is that with the increasing proliferation of smartphones, there are going to be an increasing number of people ending up on XDA looking to "root" or "hack" or "jailbreak" or whatever they heard it called. These are people that are new to this kind of thing and don't understand to forum rules here. They ended up here through a link on some other forum or page and most likely ended up somewhere in the middle or end of the thread. For someone new to this kind of thing, getting dropped into a thread that, after only a couple weeks, is already 123 pages long, is a bit intimidating. They can start a the beginning, but they are going to see all these word like ROM, FD02, density, etc. being thrown around. They see that search button and use it, but they don't know the terminology to search for, so they can't find what they are looking for. Most everyone is told their whole life that they need to not be afraid to ask questions, so that's what they do, they ask a question. What they are greeted with is a tirade of insults against their intelligence and their inability to read, and like most people, they are going to reply in kind.

Yes, there are a lot of people who come on here and keep asking questions over and over again and don't head over the discussion thread like has been asked of them, but getting mad at everyone and insulting them is not the way to deal with them.

I think that XDA needs to take a look at it's interface find ways to make it easier for newbies to use. There needs to be a way to link multiple threads together in a way to make it easier to jump between different thread that all deal with one subject. Ex. When someone goes to post something in the DEV thread and someone hits POST, it comes up and ask "Are you sure this belongs in the DEVELOPMENT thread, maybe you want the GENERAL DISCUSSION thread instead", or something like that.

XDA is going to be growing faster and faster as more and more people get smartphones. Everyone needs to try and be a bit more patient and explain thing calmly and clearly, even if the fifth time you've done so, and maybe things with won't degrade into a flame war requiring the MOD's to come in and clean house on a daily basis.

Question for the Mod of this forum..

Is it possible to edit one of the post in the first 10 post to list whats working and whats not working ?

The main issue is that people are asking about whats working and whats not working because previous ICS builds that people were using had tons of issues. This thread doesnt have a listing of whats working and whats not working UNLESS YOU CLICK THE ALPHA 1/2 RELEASE NOTES. Yes people are too lazy to click one of those links and read, and the search button response is usually not the best response to someones question that has been addressed over and over. But if those questions were listed as a FAQ post in the first few post, maybe just maybe people will read it and not clog this thread up with redundant questions.

For every repetitive question, theres about 10 or 14 repsonses bashing that persons question.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darchstar:
You guys can all get back on topic now. no reason for everyone to argue and complain about such trivialities. sure, i'd love for the discussion in here to propagate development, but that's no reason to jump on a guy for not using the search tool before asking a question. if that happens, answer his question, then tell them to either check the issue tracker or search the thread next time, to see if their issue has been resolved or fixed.

thanks.

btw, i still do check xda. keep it clean, and be nice to each other, and we'll see productivity on the thread rise. ;)

Anyone else on here use Lexicomp? It's a medical/pharmacy app that apparently isn't compatible with 4.0.4... Just wondering if anyone found a way to make it work.. It says "not compatible with this device" in the market and I've tried using Market Enabler but nada

Oh, and it worked fine on 4.0.2 and of course all the GB ROMs

I am done cleaning and warning you guys.. thread flagged.. one more off topic/derailing of the thread and I will start taking strict actions..

Your choice!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Have you tried downloading the apk from the market on a different ROM and then sideloading it to 4.0.4 using Root Explorer? That should let it at least get installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] danyelunn:
FYI- been using this as a daily driver and generally Ive to say, for what I use, this has been the most stable and enjoyable ROM Ive used. The interface is in my opinion much more efficient and attractive than any Samsung based ROM. Battery using a 2200 mAH battery with Juice Defender has been great: I got roughly 24 hrs of battery with heavy display usage and moderate pjine usage. From my perspective Ive identified two improvement areas: apps generally force close more often than other ROMs, but it does not crash the phone. Secondly the panorama feature of the camera app enabled a faint vibration on the phone while taking the picture. Using a 3rd party app like Pano did not work- it crashes. However, on a net basis, this does not feel like an alpha release, rather a beta. I really have to take my hat off to the developers... for that passion and effort you guys put on this. Thanks for making the Android experience for us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blakjak220:
Nah, haven't tried that yet.. I'll have to give it a whirl when I get home from work.. thanks for the help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Darch, what are your thoughts on the battery issues? Some people (like myself) get five - seven hours tops , with very minimal screen on time, while others get 15-20 with huge amounts of screen on time. I have tried literally everything over the past week to resolve this, nothing works aside from flashing a different rom.. Just wanted to know if you see any rhyme or reason to this? Even with a very minimal setup, following all suggestions, etc, my kernel and android os are out of control, yet for others they aren't an issue.

Thanks man, def not steering away from this rom, just learning to keep a charger with me at all times :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] genaro12543:
Too soon, too soon. This is alpha don't forget. I prefer stability and this rom gets us that while still being an alpha. The kernel isn't even being touched yet with battery saving scripts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Darchstar, could you put the link for the issue tracker in your OP?

That may help prevent repeat questions as well.

You can also try GPSFix.

Which worked for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
IDT that old EVO trick works on our phone. I tried it on TW roms with no success. My advice would be to flash back to stock rooted EL29 using sfhubs method. Once you're in there open NAVIGATION and attempt to get a lock. If you don't get a nice accurate lock or it takes too long try downloading GPS FIX from the market. It checks to see if your GPS is configured for the proper region. This can make a huge difference! In conjunction with this you can also try GPS STATUS. Go to tools and clear the GPS data and download the GPS assistance files. Once you go back to Navigation/Maps you should have a solid accurate lock. This is when you want to go into recovery and flash CM9 Alpha 2. I know this was rather long winded and most of you know this stuff but I figure if it helps even one person its worth it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
yeah i used it and got lock with in 3 -6 meters
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trmitche2:
Guys... I'm on stock rooted el29. I used sfhubs's one click root to root my phone and then installed cwm 5.0.2.7 from there as well. I know that el26 is strongly recommended because it has 5027. So I guess my question is obvious: can I use the cwm I already have since it's 5027, or is it somehow different from the 5027 that comes with el26? I've read literally *every* post in this thread over the course of the day, but did not see the question previously asked. Sorry in advance for asking a question....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
What does 5027 mean?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Nope that trick does in fact work :) done it plenty of times when I couldn't get a lock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
He's referring to 5.0.2.7 Clockwork Recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
No, haven't tried this trick. I already tried qbkings getting a lock prior to flashing fix, and nothing. Funny thing is, on GB I get perfect 2-3 sec locks, always. On CM9 doesn't even blink. On the ICS leaks works perfect...wtf... Lol.

I'll try this and shlubs and see if it helps. Thanks all for the suggestions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Much appreciate the detailed explanation. Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
yeah if i odin back to el29, do hands free activation, ##gpsclrx#, and then qpst for different prl. all works to a "T"

Changelog - Fixed for CM9 alpha3

More roaming options. Home, International Roaming, National Roaming, or None.

This is from Darchstar's link above. My question is in regards to International roaming. Lets say we had this feature available already and we travel out of the country and want to use it how would this effect our Sprint bill? If we used it for only data and not voice service would we incur a charge? I ask because I'm actually going on vacation out of the country pretty soon and I'm not sure if the place I'm staying at has free WiFi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Wouldn't that be a question for Sprint?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Really the only thing I'd change about Alpha 2 is the battery life. If Alpha 3 is optimized for battery life more than 2, then I'm all over that!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SeroFred:
Your sprint sgs2e4gt is not a world phone. You can use it in Mexico and Canada plus a few other countries. Roaming in countries with cdma would need to be enabled by sprint's international department. They may have special roaming rates for where you are going.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SeroFred:
I agree about battery life. It is not too good. However , the from is great. There will always be give and takes. Over all it is the only 4.0 from I have found to be stable enough to use. I have not found any bugs. Except for chrome beta browser. I think that is the app's issue though. Not the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Plus one for that information...that is exactly what I needed to know. You saved me a phone call to Sprint!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ethandissi:
The roaming rates are expensive, in particular data, so be aware of that.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
if you mean the volume, its a known issue and i honestly think it's kernel and libs related
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ethandissi:
O and a bug I have found I think with maybe just bt audio, but sometimes if you play music the volume becomes EXTREMELY loud. But if you hit the volume button returns to normal. I think it has happened when I skip songs.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Not trying to be an asshole, but this question is asked & answered all over these threads. Most ppl use CWM el26 to flash. It's the safest way to flash ics builds, for now.. When you flash it and start to boot back up, at first Samsung screen hold your power down and volume up to boot into recovery.... Go from there..

I am having issues searching this thread from the phone app. Has anyone figured out how to get the apps from market to work on cm9a2. I was thinking about just using the build.prop from aokp to see if I can make the apps work. I like everything else about cm9a2 otherwise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
Calks rom is a twz ics based rom to where this is pure aosp based rom which is pure ics. Some things may not work in this rom as it does on the twz based roms.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Is it specific apps if so which ones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sianaka:
istagram and youtube and a few others. I switched over to aokp to try it out, but my battery life is suffering from something on aokp and I can't stand not having recent apps working. I want to switch back to cm9 because everything else works smooth for me other than updating certain apps from market and downloading a few new ones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
I can't wait for alpha 3! From what I read its going to be pretty sweet :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robpet2:
instagram and youtube work fine on cm9, never had a problem with either of those apps working..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Did you change your screen density?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sianaka:
I did at first, but put it back to stock 240 and wiped playstore cache. I will try and reinstall cm9 and download everything before I change my dpi to see if that fixes it. I am also re-downloading the whole rom just to make sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
When you change dpi, remember to wipe market DATA. That might be your issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sianaka:
Thanks for all the input, I will make sure and leave dpi alone on this next flash until I have everything installed and setup the way I like. Thanks again for the quick replies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wiskid15:
Okay, cool. Thanks for the info. I did find a work around. The settings available in the notification panel has a 3g setting that works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
Gonna throw this out there in case it helps anyone.

I changed screen density to 190, and all worked/updated fine. Was like that for a few days, then noticed things were not updating when I knew there was an update. Went into Play market and noticed it all of a sudden was not showing all installed apps. No matter what cache I cleared, it would not show all the installed apps. Finally narrows the problem down to a single app was causing the problem. The problem app for me was Minimalistic Text. I experimented many different ways, but as long as that app was installed, Play would not show all the installed app, and therefore they would not update, as soon as I uninstalled Minimalistic Text, all apps were listed and updating just fine.

I say this because other's having problems with apps not updating may want to pay attention to the number of apps Play market is showing, and if that number goes down all of a sudden, start tracing what apps you've installed in the last day or so and one of them may be the culprit, it might not just be because of screen density.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
FINALLY got the GPS to work....dead on too. Qbkings video about going back to a GB rom getting a lock, then CM7 get a lock, then CM9 did the trick. Bout time.

So will this work guys, or do I need to Odin back to el26 anyway?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I would be safe and just put EL26 on, it only takes about a minute and a half to put EL26 on your phone anyway. Better safe than sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
You'll be fine. Even if you were to Odin el26 it takes about five seconds since it's just a kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trmitche2:
That's what I figured, thanks for your responses. Ill play it safe as suggested. However, I'm still a little curious as to whether there could in fact be two slightly different versions of CWM 5.0.2.7 (el26 vs. el29). If anyone knows, please enlighten the rest of us for general knowledge purposes, but I will play it safe and Odin back to el26.

Sent w/Tapatalk, from "dis heah" E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
How did you get a cwm repack of el29 kernel? To my knowledge, the last kernel to have cwm was el26. Since then, the only repacks have been with rogue recovery, which is not the same.

If you added cwm to el29 through rom manager, it's not the same and is not advisable for our phone.

That's a Pandora's box of a question. My battery life is just fine, I can get through a day with moderate to semi heavy use, but there are people reporting around five hours with almost no usage at all. So right now, it's hard to pinpoint what average battery usage is like.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IBMguy:
How are you guys liking this version? are there any errors that are going on? I ask this because this has been ported over to the US Cellular version and we are getting the following errors and trying to figure out what's going on:

Backlight issues - going dark after locking/unlocking - needing to reboot

GPS issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
The battery life problem is a lot like the GPS problem which is a lot like the battery drain problem on the EG30 modem which is a lot like the LOS problem.

:p

There's no logic behind it but some devices just don't play well with the software.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trmitche2:
Thanks for your reply. I've never used Rom Manager. I was very green at the time, but all I did was download sfhub's one-click root app from the sticky in the dev forum (the one with options for several kernels built into it, up through EK02 at the time I believe). Since my stock kernel was el29 at that time, I chose to root and then install cwm/el29 from the options within sfhub's app. All I have done since that time is to install several root-only apps and the Sprint 4g hot-spot hack.

When I boot into recovery mode, at the top of the screen I see "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7" (the same text is also at the bottom of the screen). In the center of the screen is the pic of the dark grey top-hat with the orange circular arrow coming out of the bottom. I don't see any references to Rogue or ACS anywhere inside the recovery interface.

So what does this mean? I ask simply for the sake of curiosity... I won't try to flash with this version, even though it seems like the correct CWM5. Thoughts? Anyone? Now I really want to know! :)
