I attempted my first shot at CM9 last night. Unfortunately, after installing it with the new FE22 kernel, all my apps restored themselves from the Play Store automatically, and then I had no superuser abilities. SU was installed, but no app was able to get SU access. Also, I was unable to access the internal storage. SD was fine, internal...nothing.

Between SU not giving permissions and no internal storage, I had to go back to stock for now. I love the CM roms and I want this so bad. ANy advice? I would love to take another stab at it tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Sounds like you flashed a kernel for aokp or codename and not cm9. The none cm9 kernels will cause you to loose root. As for internel storage, it is located under emmc. This is all posted in this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
Someone please help :), I remember back when I ran cm9a3 someone posted a file that turned off the lights on the cap buttons. Anyone know where that is?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
In the AOKP op it says this and I think it might be the same so you could look and try it:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
That disables the keys, I just want to turn the lights off. There was a file posted for this reason that had to be injected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nitro_c4:
That disables them (meaning you wont be able to use the buttons).

The setting to turn them off in AOKP just force closes in CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
Ill hunt the file down later and post it if I can find it. Watching a movie right now.

Does anyone know how to fix the broken apps issue? I think it has to do with the internal sd being named emcc. Several games I have bought don't work at all. They open for about 3 seconds and close . I tried renaming Sdcard to externalsd and emcc to sdcard and es file explorer would let me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
You may have a corrupt download, either CM9 or Gapps 03172012. I would verify the md5. If your download isn't corrupt I would try odin'ing back to EL26, wipe /data and /system and try flashing CM9/Gapps again. Only flash those two zips, custom kernel repacks or other tweaks should be applied later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] info[]box1:
definitely reflash. Odin'd back to el26 and use calkulin format all zip and then manually wipe data,system,cache(s). Now reflash cm9, gapps and wipe data and cache(s). Reboot

I'm installing this ROM as soon as the audio out works through the usb connection for the car dock. Until then, I can only remain jealous while I use the touchwiz based ROM.

Honestly, though, you guys have made incredible progress in such a short amount of time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Not sure if that will ever happen. Flash the rom and put the headphone jack into the top of the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] info[]box1:
yeah the audio jack works just fine in all my cars.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
I use the car dock too frequently for that to be a viable option. The main point of buying the car dock was to make putting in and removing the phone as quick as possible, along with not having wires laying around my car.

I did try to use my car with the headphone jack while using an early version of this ROM, but found it too annoying and switched to a touchwiz based rom for that one feature.

The reason I'm holding out hope that the feature will eventually be added is because the Samsung Fascinate had the same problem with the dock not working in CM7 and eventually the feature was added. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] art3mis-nyc:
as a slight addendum to that after you format_all go into mounts and storage and mount system data and cache then flash cm9 then mount system data and cache then flash gapps.

to avoid accidental blue lighting. and just to make sure that it mounts the partitions correctly prior to flashing

Is there a Q&A thread for this rom yet i know your not supposed to ask questions here but where should i go for answers ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
Here's an odd one. I downloaded the modded phone.apk. Using root explorer, I renamed the existing phone.apk to phone.apk.old, then pasted the modded version into /system/app/. I rebooted and now it takes 15-30 seconds before a call actually dials. My mobile data was also not working, but I resolved that by toggling airplane mode. Prior to this apk, my calls would go out within seconds.

Edit in:

hmm... there may be gremlins in that apk ;) bouncing between 1X and 3G when using data. Maybe Sprint is having an issue in my area...

Edit in2: My phone did not like that APK at all. Switched back to the stock and everything has returned to normal...

I hope to see the option that was in CM7 on my EVO to ignore carrier VME notifications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rican408:
so ive attempted this 3 times already and i keep booting into the stock recovery. from there i dont know how to fix it. ive followed the instructions EXACTLY.

Actually we have been using the sbrissen cm9 thread in general. Both darchstar, and mods, have asked SEVERAL times to keep this as a DEVELOPMENT thread.

Wow

This is my first install of CM on any phone, and I am impressed. This ROM runs incredibly smooth, looks and performs beautifully, and after a day it is working almost flawlessly (save the video recording issue). At last I have a Google ICS experience! I don't miss Touchwiz at all.

The ability to enable power features that I've experienced in various ROMs over the years are mostly under one roof here, as well as some new ones! My faves are: auto entry on correct password (thanks, now only if an option to auto-enable keyboard is added), rotation lock in landscape mode, adjustable notification widgets (I missed this from Unnamed ROM).

Question: Is there a way to adjust the haptic vibration intensity with this ROM?

Darchstar, thank you for your work! I am really encouraged by the state of CM9 development on the ET4G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
which modem did you use to fix it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Running both kernel and modem fe22 no issue. Used the kernel thread to get fe22 then used what's his name sfhub or something fe22 cwm modem unzipped and flashed via mobile Odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foggie is so Epic:
no gapps or cwm

not sure where im making the problem but maybe someone can help me find the error in my ways.

so i installed cwm5 . then i wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik. i flashed CM9, then the Gapps from 4/29 everything seemed to go down without a hitch. after the phone rebooted i had NO GAPPS, my home button didnt work at all. i couldnt get incoming calls. and i had no CWM . i tried using odin and putting cwm back on. but after i would do that. the phone wouldnt boot back up.... any suggestions?

i read somewhere that ics wouldnt work with cwm5... not sure because i couldnt find the thread again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Many GAPPS aren't included in GAPPS zip anymore since it can be downloaded via play store (ex:Gmail, Maps) try reflashing cm9 with cwm. If you still can't get calls, you may have to Odin back to stock and update profiles before flashing cm9 again. Phone shouldn't boot into rom but you still can get into cwm by vol up + power when turning on phone. Also, here's a kernel that makes it easier to flash cm9. Please read before using http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/tools.html?m=1

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Congratulations it must be since it still doesn't flash modems on CDMA phones. Just ran it, on CM9 A4 with the FE22 kernel same as you. Tried flashing a different modem version. You can easily tell by the speed of the "flash" that it failed. Baseband did not change, its a well known fact it doesn't work on cdma phones.

Screen shot does not prove the method. But if you want to make a video go for it. Pretty sure any of us can show you it not working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] >MR.T:
I use mobile Odin to boot into CWM and flash modems all time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
That is not flashing modems from mobile odin which appears to be the discussion. That however is the method to do it if your on the go. Flashing a kernel to use CWM to flash a modem is not the same thing as sticking a full tar or a modem tar, or a modem bin in mobile odin and getting the end result on reboot. Which appears to be the claim being made a well known incapability of Mobile ODIN on cdma phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criccio:
Hmm, i suppose i'm going to need to hunt down in this thread why my installs are failing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
I'm not sure why some users do experience this issue, but you should be able to just install your previous rom and try going back into cwm again and wipe/data only don't wipe system, the install script for this rom mounts and wipe system any how

Although I actually use calk wipe.zip all the time yet I'm not affected by this. :confused:

the updater script is looking for your build.product supposedly wiping system might wipe that and the install won't proceed

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "epic4gtouch" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "epic4gtouch" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100M" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100M" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "SPH-D710" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SPH-D710");
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Current aosp builds rely on the build.prop. best practice is to go to cwm, flash rom then wipe then flash again. Works for me every time. Flash a touchwiz rom, then reboot back into recovery and try my method, I promise it'll work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criccio:
I don't know why either, however after trying again with the same .zip, it all worked fine when I didn't use Calk's Format All zip.

I'm posting this here because A.) its not clearly listed in the OP and B.) searching a thread this large for the specific piece of information i'm looking for would be a lesson in futility.

Did you flash the standard FE22 kernel you can get in the official kernel thread here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662295
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
You flash the CM9 kernel listed there or you fail. There is also the fd16 kernel link darchstar posted that is often updated to be a different kernel when he does a new one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
Dude this happened to me and it sucked BALLS! I redownloaded the rom from different links...still the same error over and over flash after flash. The fix? Restore the phone back to factory using the one click method, then flash cm9. Works like a charm. Don't forget to get a GPS fix before flashing to cm9 or your GPS will be broken.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criccio:
I just asked this a few posts above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
I just did this myself, looking forward to seeing how FE22 performs.

1. Download the AOSP kernel FE22 from here.

2. Transfer the kernel to your SD card on your phone.

3. In Odin, flash the EL26 CWM repack.

4. Your phone should boot into the stock CWM recovery after Odin finishes.

5. Clear cache and dalvik cache.

6. Install zip from SD card, and select the AOSP FE22 kernel.

7. Reboot your phone and you're good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
That or download it, flash in odin and then triangle away if you reboot your phone more often then you flash roms and dont like triangles.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol partly correct.. cm9 is aosp.. however there are different aosp roms.. cm9 usually requires the kernel to be repacked for cm9. i flashed a aokp kernel to cm9 and lost root.. you need to flash the aosp kernel for cm9 specifically
