So which is this Alpha-X
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
The latest alpha out is alpha5. We do have nightlies though that you can DL and flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Where can these nightlies be downloaded???

*waiting for the slap*

Just kidding. Is there a thread/blog/twitter anywhere with details of sbrissen's work on the new kernel? Would be nice to follow his updates.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
Try this for battery and performance enhancement.

Just remember, there are .zips within the .zip you download. You have to select the mode and flash w/CWM. I suggest Moderate for better battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kdelinux:
thanks bro. assuming this one right CM9_Alpha5_KOB_TWv3.4.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
Yes, just extract to external storage and try different Modes to see what works best for you.

Every time you reflash your ROM you have to reflash the tweak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justin24:
question, since there is no recovery on Alpha 5, can I just odin the Kernel in the install guide (The direct cwm boot) so I can make a backup?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
I don't think directboot has a stable nandroid to restore from.

Try the TWRP kernel in my sig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Yup. You could also odin the el26 cwm kernel or TWRP kernel to make the backup, just user preference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justin24:
Thank you for the quick reply.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronron23:
Is anybody experiencing problems with charging? Its pretty random, or after some heavy use. AC wall charger, or even car charger, the phone will get super hot and lose charge just sitting there on the charger. Usually a reboot clears it up, and charges fine. Issue returns randomly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
Team Epic is not pleased with Nightlies in a separate thread. This is problematic because the nightly builds and alphas are essentially the same thing. Splitting discussion of the two is not helping the devs to recognize problems. The devs will NOT read two threads that are of the same content.

Instead we are working on splitting User and Development discussion into separate threads. In the General forum there will be a thread where users can help each other with the ordinary install/setup problems. The Development thread will discuss only real problems that are confirmed to exist in alpha or nightly builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rooster85:
Yea we will see how that goes. That's not how the cm team has worked for years now. Nightlies were expected to be full of bugs therefore no reason to report them in nightlies. **** i remember on cm6 when they didnt even want nightlies being discussed. Hence seperation as RC's and stables are meant to be mostly bug free and ironed out. How are the alphas the same as the nightly from last night? Code hasn't changed at all from a5 til now?

Btw lmao at "team epic is not pleased" like some hierarchy or some **** lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
LOL you do know who Warren is right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rooster85:
I understand who he is. Just wondering why the way things are discussed have changed now. Cause if you ask me 80% of the people on these forums are retarded when it comes to anything to bug reports are kinda redundant since half the time its user error.

I made the nightly thread and if team epic wants it removed I'll do it. I made it cause every phone I've owned had 2 threads for cm releases. One for rc's stables and alphas and another for nightlies.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icebluemale30:
I was reading about the alpha 2 ...... man that is gonna be the best AOSP Rom so far can't wait for it to drop good work guys y'all are the best makes me so happy that i got an Epic Touch 4G!!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Me too. Only thing getting me through is your ics theme for calk 2.9.2 ... Which works beautifully on calk 3.0 btw. Sorry to be off topic, but hopefully we can look forward to some of your work on cm9 once they figure out the native theming.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
CM9 is supposed to get its own themeing engine eventually. Similar to that of CM7.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Which I'm sure will be sweet ... What would also be sweet is if the cm7 themes would work on cm9. I really like the steel blue cm7 theme and would love it if i could use it for cm9. Not likely, but still :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cheebahawk:
The only time this happened to me was on 6/17 nightly. After flashing to 6/18, I haven't experienced this problem yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
Do not flash that type of theme. Recovery flashable .zip themes replace random chunks of the operating system and often break things. You can now apply themes directly from the Google Play store by installing it and choosing the theme in Settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xxtavarxx:
I love this rom but it seems like the more its updated the more problems there are. Its keep deleting some of my DAMN APPS N IT KEEPS CHANGING MY RIGTONES NOTIFICATIONS... LIKE WTF!!! :banghead:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
It it really that hard to change a ringtone lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mightypenguin:
It's possible Shouton stays in areas with strong signal so his phone doesn't have to work hard. Other than that I'd want a list of what "other apps" he has installed that sync. I disabled sync on FB, uninstalled Tango and Words with Friends and that helped a ton. But there's nothing I can do about signal strength.

If you're in low signal areas your phone is going to drain fast even if you disable wimax. I haven't yet tried disabling 3G as well to see how much that helps (while still being able to get calls).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Are the battery issues that some users are facing an issue the team is trying to tackle? It boggles my mind that some people are getting TWENTY to THIRTY hours with everything on and syncing. Yet others (myself included) literally max out at seven hours with little to no use and with syncing turned off completely.. I have not been in the irc in a while but I have literally spent months and countless hours trying to troubleshoot this to no avail. There seems to be absolutely no rhyme or reason to my (and thankfully others) who are experiencing these extreme battery drain issues.

I am one hundred percent convinced there may be a slight hardware variant / issue that is struggling with the non-source kernel. There is no explanation. I've spent an ungodly amount of hours trying to fix this myself (I'm no dev lol) and I reached a dead end weeks ago.

I am just curious if there is team discussion regarding this issue and if it is believed that it will be solved with a source kernel?

It truly is baffling that some users get HUGE amounts of use while others have to have a charger with them at all times. Makes no f@#<!$g sense!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I should add that this does not occur on gingerbread roms (in case you are not already aware of my struggles). I've followed all the battery saving tips in the install guide. Turned of auto sync (much to my dismay). Started from scratch 100 times. Wiped and formatted internal and external memory completely. Used kobridge tweaks. Tracked battery life with bbs, cpuspy, badass battery monitor. All of these things indicate there is no problem. Also cpuspy reports my phone does have a very high percentage of "deep sleep" time... It just drains like crazy somehow. I even had sprint test my battery and they said it was perfect. There are countless other things I've done but that would require me to write pages upon pages. Nothing helps. What's the good word?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/customization-guide.html

Did you follow the battery optimization tips at the bottom here? Try those tools to attempt to identify what may be keeping the CPU awake. Also, make sure you uninstall BetterBatteryStats when you're done using it, as that DOES kill your battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Read my previous post. I have bad timing lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
You could just have a bad battery lol. I got a new OEM battery about a month ago and its been like night and day compared to the old one I got originally with the E4GT. I do everything the same but the new battery just seems to perform better overall.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] genaro12543:
Please use another rom. Preferrably a gb one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Thanks for being constructive. Please keep your fingers off your keyboard. Thanks.

There are many experiencing this issue, not just myself.

I will pm the previous poster about the oem battery and will purchase one to see if that helps even though mine has been tested by sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deziking:
what's another good modem for this rom besides ff11?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
You have to test for yourself.

Location dependent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] genaro12543:
I think everybody has ran out of constructive things to say to ur issue. I'm guessing they're working on it....

If you have insurance go to a sprint store and get it swapped out since you already got the battery checked but I just think ur trying to hard to stay on this rom. I countered the battery issue with 3 spare batteries and an external battery charger. I get MAX 2-3 hours of display time no matter what. I don't think that's fantastic but I know this rom is still an alpha and we need source plain and simple until we get that I see no reason to post every page about why my battery does fast I don't think you should either
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I'M NOT YELLING:
Don't feed the trolls. I know, it's hard to ignore the insufferable idiots that plague every thread on XDA.

I have the same problem as you but what's helped me greatly is JuiceDefender. I used to use it on my Evo back in the day but had to bust it out again when I flashed CM9 on my E4GT, unfortunately. It helps considerably. Other than that, my battery drains like mad on any ICS based ROM.

Dude, I've noticed you mentioning terrible battery life on this rom. It seems like you've already exhausted numerous means to fix it such as clean wipes and things of that nature. I would definitely try the HYPERION extended battery on Amazon. I get through a whole work day (9 hours) using the phone pretty much however I want. I know there are some people on here that say that their stock battery last 20 hours, yeah, maybe with their screens on the dimmest setting, no sync, no phone calls, no text...no anything.

I'm telling you man...try this battery. You will get used to the bulk and you will be able to get through a solid work days use w/o having to worry about the phone dying. It's pretty cheap so its worth the shot.

Battery issues? Try the following to resolve:

1. Flash back to Stock, update PRL, Profile, get GPS lock

2. Flash the latest Odin one-click root

3. Flash EL26 with CWM

4. Enter Recovery and flash Calkulin's wipe all for E4GT

5. Do it again

6. Flash EL29 with CWM and reboot into new recovery

7. Flash latest CM9

8. Enjoy Epic goodness!

Tips: Use a quality high-speed SD card. Make sure SD card is less than half full. Always verify MD5 check sum after putting files on external SD card. Use a quality USB cable for transfers. When flashing, make sure battery is charged completely. Lithium-Ion batteries' voltage drops as the battery drains. Never flash without a USB jig. After flashing, let the phone rest for 15 minutes before installing mods & apps. Try stock kernel and modem for a day before flashing newer or older ones. Last but not least make an offering to your deity of choice before flashing anything!!! ;D

As for everyone else complaining about battery life, THIS IS AN ALPHA BUILD. They've said time and time again that it's an issue. Either try reflashing, a different modem, a bigger battery, deal with it, or flash to something else and wait for an official release.

BTW, if you use Wifi a lot, it's actually worse than 3G on this ROM apparently. I'm getting anywhere from 12-16hrs on one charge with low/moderate use. Also, let your battery cycle through a few times before complaining about battery life.

I hope this helps someone
