You should only have to wipe data, cache, Dlavik, then flash first48 and reboot. Wiping the battery stats and internal storage are good housekeeping, but you shouldn't have problems from skipping those two tasks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
New install or update of previous cm9 build?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] babololo12:
So i flash 8/12 then flash first48? after wiping everything?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Those are 2 different builds if I am not mistaken..

Can someone please advise what the differences between shabbys 8/12 nightly and Chris's First48 build?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
If u are coming from a different rom use the el26 directboot kernel and wipe data and cache and flash rom then gapps. If u are coming from a different cm9 build just flash and reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Some questions...

1. Is the recovery included with hammer time and first48 "safe" for wiping/backup/flashing, including kernels and modems?

2. Is the included kernel more recent than the RC10? I think I read that earlier in the thread just want to confirm.

3. Why so many builds lately?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] babololo12:
just wiped sd card. now i cant find anything. all i get is LOST.DIR and sdcard is empty and emmc is not there. How do i fix this?

Just wanna flash Phantom 4.1 how do i do this? Since this rom is buggy for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Working out storage issues...first 48 is golden. Flash away1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I have a couple odd issues with the most recent builds (Chris's). One is that super user WILL NOT remember my preferences whatsoever, even though I tell it to. For example, every time I unplug my phone I get the su prompt for better battery stats. Next issue is that sometimes when I make or receive calls the person on the other end can not hear me whatsoever.. This issue will not resolve itself until I reboot the phone, no matter how man times I call someone or receive a call.

Is anyone else experiencing these oddities?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Remember, this is development.. most of the stuff you see in these threads are testing.. which means, sometimes you might see 3 or 4 kernels.. and if you do, its best to make sure to know what's what cause some files might not be safe to flash for one reason or another (example being: what if a simple typo was made and that when you did a reg reboot, that formats your extsd) you would want to know ahead of time before you just "jump in"

Of course this is just an example and I am not claiming that anything is going to format SD, but what if...

So my point is, just be careful to know what you're about to flash.. :)

Happy flashing..

Oh, and First48 is very solid for me.. I miss CRT though.. :/ any idea if we can get that working again? Am I the only one that is not working for on First48?

sj

So, BigJP, you have made a nandroid backup with the kernel/recovery baked into Firsr48?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EVOSerb:
CRT works on mine (last48)... Could be something with a light for capacitive buttons?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
You probably need a logcat for the second issue. On the first issue bbs does that to me too. Others like rootexplorer stick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EVOSerb:
you could odin to stock rooted rom and than flash Phantom 4.1...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
CRT works for me on first48. Make sure u have screen off animation checked in display settings. I havent tried making a nandroid. I was more refering to doing wipes and flashing in the recovery when i answered his question.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Hmm.. I haven't changes any system settings from outta the box as far as that goes.. did you change any settings .. ie, for the cap buttons?

Didnt mess with the cap buttons. CRT works and buttons stay lit with screen on. Try toggling the screen off animation checkbox
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
Pretty sure the first issue has nothing to do with the rom. Superuser was recently updated and so was bbs. Try rolling back a version or two on better battery stats. Ive seen people mention this issue in the galaxy note forums and a few more phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
Wow, gone for one day on reading the forums and come back to 3 new roms to test out!

Question: I haven't made a nandroid since flashing the nightlies. Currently on tripletake right now and looking to try one of the new bad boys out. However, when I go into recovery, when I start the backup, the progress bar won't progress and then after a few minutes it'll reboot by itself. My CWM is v6.0.1.1. What do you guys advise to make a safe nandroid? I've combed through a few threads and there's mention of el26 that can do safe backups(?), but when I checked qbking77's el26 video, the link that he has (for el26) is dead. So if anyone could point to where I could download and flash this (and a bit of instructions please, just for me to be certain I don't eff it up), or if there's a more newer way of backing up safely, I'd appreciate the advice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Well anecdotally, I recently did a successful nandroid backup from the recovery included with CM9 A6, but you're on a nightly, so I don't know how that cwm is. I would just use the direct boot cwm that is on their blog spot site. Go to the OP and go to install guide, click through the links related to cwm and you'll find the instructions for it (unless you already know about the direct boot cwm). Remember, that cwm is gbread based so you'll need to flash a rom before leaving recovery (after you make your backup) in order to boot up.

I also used that cwm to restore just fine. This was all for going from my A6 setup to testing out a JB build and then back again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
Appreciate the response, but the directboot I have currently (vCWM5) is from the CM9 install guide on Team Epic's site. I guess it's like you said, the nightly build that's probably conflicting. I did remember someone having the same issue pop up pages ago, but I can't seem to find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkendes:
I flashed Plan B and realized that CWM seems to randomly reboot the phone even if it's just sitting at the main menu.

If you've got a phone that doesn't let you make backups in CWM 6.0.1.1, try letting it idle and see if it reboots after a couple minutes regardless of what you're doing.

I'm going to test this with some previous kernel builds that I've had trouble with.

Edit: hammertime's recovery did the same thing. It took a lot longer, but it rebooted while sitting in a menu. All I did was go to advanced > show log. Then it sat idle until it rebooted maybe 5 minutes later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Flash a rom and format it from the storage menu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] albe070:
Hmm I'm a bit lost

My external sdcard is name sdcard.

And my internal is named sdcard1

There is no longer emmc like a few roms back.

Is this how it is suppose to be? I'm on first48. And if not how do I fix it?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
I got all excited about this (Sprint system updates), but running first48, it FCs every time.

Pastebin of last_log for reboots from recovery and hopefully power off charging:

http://pastebin.com/LJRd32Hi

I had wiped cache before installing Rom so don't know if this will help but if it happens again I will post last_log before wiping
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jweavis:
So, the new naming convention is just a new revision, they are not specific releases of same ROM? (as an example, one might includes Samsung apps the other does not.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
It also happens with other apps as well. Like wireless tether for example. Every time I turn it on or off, su prompts. Odd stuff
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
I agree with this. I think the option is now confusing the issue.

My issue with sdcard apps disappearing after reboot has been resolved. I know this is horrible from the point of bug reporting, because I wiped data/cache/davlik, and installed First48. So one of those 2 things fixed the issue. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
I also have the same issue with wifi tethering and better battery.

SetCPU doesnt have the issue however and it does not lock up anymore as long as I dont move the speed dial too fast.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Got a random reboot in recovery on first48 also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
I have a question about updating on the el 29 temp boot to update profile and prl . since we have a safe recovery do we have to install Cm5 still? Can't we essentially skip that step?

Hi everyone I'm still on nightly build 10-06, the rom runs great but my 4g isnt working. I'm running el29 w/ kernal shabby penguin. What's the solution for this 4g problem if any?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
Attached is a log for you, tried nandroid and it rebooted halfway thorugh again. CWM6 was the recovery packed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Makes perfect sense. Thanks for protecting me from myself! :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Same issue here. Flashed First48 & Gapps, everything working fine. Went to do a nandroid before flashing the M6 Google Now, and got a reboot in the middle. I suppose I could just mobile odin el29 cwm5 directboot and flash everything from there, but I was trying to avoid that process.

Can't currently upload my last_log.txt, getting invalid file errors on XDA. Dropbox link here

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
Have you tried the exact same apk of bbs on another rom? I would try that to see if its an issue with the app. If not then you would have to submit a log to the dev so he could see what's happening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] langdoy:
Having fun just seeing what the next nightly will be named.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElephantKiller:
So, running First48. I formatted both internal and external cards as suggested, cleared Camera and Gallery data, deleted the data folders in /Android/data/ directly for the camera and gallery, took a photo and then re-transferred all the photos back where the pic appeared. At first Gallery didn't recognize the older pics at all- use internal storage was checked. I unchecked it and now it is back to showing black tiles where thumbnails should be for the old pics and Gallery hangs (but doesn't freeze) when I try to look at them.

It's not a big deal since I already copied the pics off the phone anyway and new ones store and retrieve just fine but it's very puzzling. Any log I should capture for this?

EDIT: Taking a closer look, it appears that the older pics are visible in Gallery but there are duplicate entries for all of them without thumbnails or path details. Is it possible I didn't get rid of all of the app data? If so how would I go about doing that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
This has only happened so far on he slowgo nightly, and nothing else. I I will ty the latest experimental first
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Is anyone else using the Mikey6 GoogleNow .zip on this ROM? I find that every time I upgrade to the latest CM9 buid, i have to reflash the GoogleNow .zip. Just wondering if I'm supposed to have to do this (as I don't have to reflash gapps).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tapatos:
Just installed alpha 6 to my phone and was just wondering if it has a custom kernel to allow overclocking. Also is there a way to get the motion activated features back. Such as laying face down to pause music or mute a call.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Those are touchwiz features. So unfortunately, no on this ROM. Not sure if you can get it on a touchwiz-based custom ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xda-todd:
As a substitute, you could use Tasker for any sensor-related actions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
To answer your other question, chris41g stated somewhere around here that adding overclocking to the kernel is at the bottom of the priority list.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] picklerick:
"backthatassup" is using the internal storage for apps and media, which is what I prefer. There is no longer an option to switch it now. Which location are you trying to use? I keep having copy my data back and forth. Also I can no longer get Apollo to see my music on my external sdcard.

USB transfer has also decreased a lot too. On the left is the transfer speed when card is mounted in the phone and on the right is when I take it out of the phone and transfer using a card reader.

*EDIT* Apollo is now seeing my music on the sdcard....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
Guess you missed the multiple pages of recent conversation regarding NOT having the "use internal storage" box checked any longer.

Had you gone through that whole process without having it checked, it would have worked. Try again?

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Yes. My understanding is that Google Now is not part of ics or cm9. So you would need to re flash it; I do.

Since it uses system files, they get written over on flashing a new release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Grr. Chris, you added in hepatic feedback. Now the vibration is weak. It is see to 50%. If you raise to 100, it stops. On reboot, you have to go back to 50. This kills being about to feel the phone on ringing. Reason why I hate aokp. I am no back that ass up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElephantKiller:
Yes, did try that with the same results. Additionally a similar issue was happening with the music: multiple fake versions showing up in the player.

Did a full wipe and everything is back to normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
yep unfortunately have to agree with this one ,, was loving the feedback strength till latest updates
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I actually checked, the setting doesn't go back to 50 on reboot, it stays at 100, just feels like 50.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
Just flashed backthatassup and so far it works nice. I could make a nandroid backup (took a bit though, was stuck on freeing up space for the longest and I was just waiting for it to reboot-- but didn't happen!), camera works, gallery works. So far I haven't encountered anything I don't like about it. Thanks for a good build Chris! :good:

It seems like the advanced settings have trouble sticking. mDNIe and now the haptic level.

Re: Backthatassup

I just flashed backthatassup and it seemed stable but it broke wifi for me. After reflashing, wifi was re-enabled but several other apps were broken i.e. pictures in contacts, google talk and the play store. Gonna reflash the 8/12 nightly...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wiskid15:

Ok Update time: cm-9-20120813-EXPERIMENTAL-epic4gtouch-75south-signed.zip

Internal storage is: /mnt/sdcard

External storage is: /mnt/external_sd

Setting to swap storage locations is removed

Random recovery reboots is fixed

Haptic vibration feedback settings is fixed

mDNIe is working now

4G wifi tethering is still broken, he is working on it

Due to moving storage mounts some have had problems with game saves and app data on sdcards. You can either copy your data to the correct location or delete it and start over, or someone may find a better option. Just throwing it out there as an FYI.

Again Thank You Chris41g for your awesome work!!

Gallery then would not open - stating that no sd card was installed. App 2 SD also did not recognize that an sdcard was installed. Even got FC when attempting to access "manage apps".

Went back to "backthatassup" and all is good again.

Aside from that, is anyone actually running iminlovewithastripper successfully or is it better to skip this one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I'm running 75south. I noticed under advanced settings that movie mode sticks during reboot. Haptic on the other hand will change when selected (100% still isn't as strong as the old settings before this setting was added), and the settings stick during reboot, but if you have it set to 100 or 75, even thought it sticks during reboot, it still feels weak when the phone reboots. I really need the vibration intensity back. I hate milestone because there is no way to fix this, and i need to feel my phone vibrate when i am in meetings and other stuff.

Hi guys. Much love for the developers! I have been on CM since the HTC Hero and I love you guys. I have never posted but I thought I'd chime in. Pandora keeps trying to load a song gets to 1% and then tries to load another song in an endless loop. Only happens on 3g. Google music plays a few secs then pauses then plays endlessly. I have also noticed if I'm using the browser a lot I will get a no connection error during page flips. I thought this might be 3g dropping out so I loaded network speed and it does indeed seem to be 3g dropping in and out constantly. I drive around all day for a living on the same routes and 3g does seem wonky. I have never done a logcat and I'm not sure how so I can't help you guys out. Not complaining I just thought I would throw that out there so you guys could keep an eye on this. It has been happening ever since I went from alpha 6 to shabby's 8-8 build. Also continued on Chris's builds thru hammer time. Currently on shabby's 8-12. Thanks for your tireless efforts. Now back to the shadows
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cowballz69:
Do not use set CPU with this rom. Edit the speed in settings
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
SetCPU is most likely the culprit. I remember a lot of people having issues with it on previous builds and being advised to wait until custom kernels are available.
