Okay hoping you guys can help me I'm having 1 problem with this rom. When I go out of service in roam and come back and I lose all conectivity. My signal bars stay gray and never turn blue even though it shows the 3g icon in all my bars. The easy fix is to toggle airplane mode. But I was wondering if this is something that I did wrong it has the stock kernel that came with the rom. I am on alpha 6 stable, and for the modem baseband I have f f 18. Any help is much appreciated thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Unfortunately, this is a known issue. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
Okay well that's too bad I really love this 1 it's the best 1 I've had on my phone. Okay thanks for the info I really appreciate it.

I still can't get roam control to work on tcp 2nd nightly. Whenever I set roam control to roam only my data settings switch to home only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
The trick I used when running this was reboot after making my selection in Roam control. So select roam only, wait for it to switch then reboot. Repeat when selecting automatic. Should work.

ok wifi will be fixed in todays build also, kernel updated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joao2307:
Sorry T.C.P, but is the cm_9_20120729_UNOFFICIAL_epic4gtouch.zip 133.8MB Jul 30, 2012 the last version that you are talking about or is this your last one but not the one where "wifi will be fixed in todays build also, kernel updated"?

Thanks,

JP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejlmd:
WiFi not yet fixed in that build, which I'm running with the included kernel. TCP must mean the fix is on deck for the next build to be uploaded.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N4STYNATE:
So I'm a bit confused,

TCP, are you taking over the nightlies from now on instead of shabbypenguin, or is your build something different entirely?

Also - To flash your nightly, we need to flash the ROM, then flash the AOSP FF18 or Chris' source built kernel in addition to get everything to work properly?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crunchybutternut:
TCP is only doing nightly builds until the "official" ones by shabbypenguin resume, or we get true official status.

When flashing TCP's previous nightlies you would need to also flash Chris' kernel, but tonight's (cm_9_20120730_UNOFFICIAL_epic4gtouch.zip) should not need a separate kernel flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
what fixes come with the updated kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gogojons93@:
it is possible

it is possible to install CyanogenMod 9 in samsung epic 4g galaxy s2 kernel FF18 :confused:

A warning for anyone out there... I formatted my SD card via Settings->Storage and it formatted my internal storage instead!! I lost tons of stuff. An undelete program (mount on PC, have it scan the mounted drive) saved most of my photos and videos at least. Be careful.

This is just a shot in the dark, but probably because this is a CM9 development thread while JB has its own threads?

Im pretty stoked however I will be waiting a while before this becomes my daily driver. CM9 is pretty dang solid for me now. But very much looking forward to it, especially once they add in all the CM9 features.

His review completely neglects to mention all of the bugs and things missing in that rom. He says that essentially everything works minus a couple things.. False. Some "review" that was. Anyways, back to cm9 discussion.... I can't join the irc any longer so I have no idea what the haps is :( (no I'm not banned. Technical issues)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
I agree to a certain extent.. QBs reviews are, for the most part, very dependable.. However, it seems as though by him putting out the review created the "buzz" that it's flashable and to get a few more than average to test quickly.. Maybe that's exactly what needed to happen in order to get it "dialed in" .. ;)

Dude it actually started working tonight after a Google Chrome update (I use Web chat and every client I tried to install got screwed up with sasl authentication and scripts on windows 8). Anyways, after the chrome update it works again... No idea if it was related because my symptoms make no sense and are not typical. However, it is still busted in ie.. Anyways, finally working after seven days or so...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skylenorman:
What's not working?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
ok for the short version :P

i dont frequent this forum very often so i didnt know that the nightlies werent building properly until this weekend. once i went thru the error and tracked it down seems the lockscreen patch i was using to make the icons smaller is now null and void so ive gotta retweak that to get it working again. in the mean time ive removed the patch so as you can see from last night it builds again :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
Does the latest nightly have Chris's kernel (rc3 or rc4) or do I need to flash that myself?

Speaking of Chris's kernel, the latest one is a fraction of the size of the last two. Is that a bad upload or is there a reason for that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
you gotta flash his kernel yourself and no the kernels fine. Check MD5 if ur worried
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdawg0213:
Keep in mind what Alpha he was reviewing when he made that video.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
Flashed the rc4 kernel through el26 recovery and got stuck on screen that says epic 4g touch for a while then it automatically kicked me into recovery. Any ideas why?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
chris41g's new kernels are bootlooping. He appears to be working on it though as many kernels have been popping up.

For those that may not know, it was discovered that due to a patch mismerge, chris41g's previous kernels were vulnerable to the emmc brick bug. So he pulled those kernels and has been publishing new kernels that removed MMC_CAP_ERASE from mshci.c But they're bootlooping at the moment.

This means that the kernel sitting on your phone right now may not be completely safe from the emmc brick bug. Proceed with caution if you plan to flash any new ROMs. If the ROM's update binary is also not patched for safety, you could superbrick, as we saw in a few circumstances using RC1-b3 to flash DK2's CM10 JB port.

When all else fails do your ROM flashing from EL26+CWM5 for the time being until this gets worked out.

EDIT/ADDITION:

Looks like chris41g's "RC10" kernel is working as intended and is properly patched for emmc brick safety. You should be able to use your existing kernel/recovery to simply flash it, reboot and be good to go moving forward. Probably should leave this here since this isn't exactly related to the CM9 ROM. Refer to chris41g's AOSP kernel thread for information and discussion.

Sorry for the additional clutter but I felt it was important!

Has anyone else noticed that their signal levels are lower with CM9? I have three to four bars with EL29 or FF18, but only one with CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b4ifuru18:
This is a known issue. Unfortunately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] br0ken_shad0w:
Has the volume bug been fixed yet in one of the nightlies? The one where the volume would randomly change when using Google Music? Similar to this poster's: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27400353&postcount=4967

That is the only real problem I have with CM9, but for someone who listens to music every single day, it is a major issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
dammit haha, my phone has taken to dropping signal and doing that grey bar thing where it doesn't get back on the network. I really like this rom, and everything else more or less works so I'm going to stick with it and hope it gets fixed in the next release. Thanks for the reply!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
No. Also notification sound mutes as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Took a few days to get to my update.. but I just got my CM9 updated from the 7/24 nightly to the 7/30 nightly done.. I initially had an issue.. but I just went through the steps again (cleaner than I did the first time) and its working flawlessly..

The first attempt, I didn't flash gApps at the same time AND I didn't remove dalvik integration in titanium backup pro.. But the second attempt, I started from my nandroid backup, rebooted to load the system, then flashed el26/cwr5 in mobile Odin, rebooted into recovery, cleared cache & dalvik, flashed 7/30 nightly, then gApps, then tabUI mod (cause I like it) and then flashed RC10 kernel.

The rom is running perfectly!

Hmm.. All signs point to official cm9 rc soon? I got a hunch ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I should have looked here first but same. No baseband, LOS like conditions on clean install of 7-31. Did notice the new CWM6 packed into the regular old FF18.

Edit - @Chris's 8-01, works and its one of his kernels. Going to leave all my apps uninstalled see if 4g reboots are still an issue for me or not.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
So I've missed a lot. I'm still on alpha 6 released on 6/28. It works great except that sometime it lags at wake, the WiFi and 4g don't like to auto reconnect (WiFi sometimes disconnects automatically)

Are we on release candidates now? Why isn't the epic touch cm page that is linked in the op not updated? Where do I find these RCs/ nightlies? Any that are just as stable as alpha 6 but improve the above mentioned issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ldudiaz:
Where can I find that one, thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Alpha 6 is still the most recent. Nightly builds are different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
I know what nightlies are, but I heard talk of RCs as well.

If the nightlies are by the same team and fix my issues, I would like to know which one and how to get it. (Unless of course those cm10 ports become stable enough to drive)

But the wifi issue is really annoying
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsg411:
Can somebody explain the difference between the alpha 6 released on 6/28 and the 8-01 nightly build from chris41g? I would like to install one of them but want something fairly stable. Any changelog for the nightly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clshores:
I think it might be time for a clean install but I wanted to pass along to get input. I have had some strange behavior on the last few nightlies including the search bar just showing up out of nowhere and no text on my icons on the desktop. I am also thinking it might be a Nova Launcher issue as well. Anybody want to give feedback.

I haven't done a clean install in a while. It has happened on stock CM9 kernal as well as both flavors of Chris41g.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] syphex:
While 8/1 fixes 3g, 4G works but as soon as the phone is shut off it goes to an unknown state. Also using the RC10 kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] br0ken_shad0w:
That's a shame then. :(

I might have to switch to another ROM altogether if I have to keep adjusting the volume everytime a track changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
To clarify on this build, does the tabUI mod work on c41g's builds too? I don't know why they wouldn't, but just seeing if that was known.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
the issue with data is due to the different branches. we had set up prebuilt branch for the script to grab and use that so it wouldnt be a source kernel. however the last time the prebuilt was updated was on the 18th. since then its just been upstream cm9 changes and the patches applied by myself.

since all the commits were going to the source built kernel version not much had changed, except last night the ril patch was changed and the dependant parts werent in prebuilt.. ergo no data....

so this leaves us at where we are now, i have switched over to the source built branch now and will be using a source kernel. this kernel ive been informed has a bug with 4g in that if your screen shuts off when it turns back on you will have to toggle 4g to get it to reconnect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsg411:
Thank you for the clarification (even tho some of the verbiage was beyond my scope...lol)

That being said.... do you recommend waiting for the next rom+kernel you just spoke of? and if so where can we find it when its available?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
To clarify further. This 4g issue occurs only if the phone is not plugged in
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
So the RC10 kernel from Chris is currently the best one? Or the RC11? :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
there's both a twrp and cwm kernels. one of them is rc10 the other rc11. I think they are pretty much the same just with different recoveries.

both should be safe as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
They are the same discluding the recovery being used.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
Lots of issues lately....

mainly, and this is on the 7/30 build and a few before it, I can't say for sure when this started but it has gotten really bad lately...phone calls are placed and received with no sound on the other echo on the other end. This is an occasional thing for everyone, but lately it happens every damn time. Is it a CM9 thing or is a thing with my phone.

I flashed the 7/31 build and that had no phone service available at all. No calls could be made whatsoever.

This stuff happening to anyone else? If the answer was dealt with already, I am sorry for asking before looking...I am in "super-impatient-to-the-point-of-chainsawing-my-phone" mode after losing every important call I got today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
Okay, no one is really answering the question. So I will test myself. But where do I find the latest nightlies or the RC kernels?

Does the alpha 6 gapps work or is there a more recent gapps I should flash.

So basically, links?

And are there no data versions that I can flash without wiping?

Or can I wipe flash nightly then advance restore my data from alpha 6?

Thanks for the help, and anyone who answers an of my question gets thanks click.

I am using the modem included with the ROM. If no modem is included with the ROM, then which one should I flash? I figured the best available modem for CM9 would be in the ROM so I never bothered meddling with the goodness.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toleraen:
Someone feel free to correct me, but most ROMs don't include modems. The 'stock' ROMs are the only ones that do. Modems are mostly subjective, so download a few (link in my signature), try each out for a day or two, and see what works best for you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Nightly builds.. Check shabbypenguins goo.im. Do not download the build from the 31st its busted. 30th is excellent. As for the kernels, chris41gs goo.im. Get rc10 if you want cwm or rc11 if you prefer twrp. No data wipes necessary. Wipe cache then dalvik. Then install shabbys 30th build. Then Chris's kernel. reboot. Profit?

What is the difference between 8-01 source and new props? Which should I use?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
ROMs are almost never included with the rom. I think sfhub packs a modem with his one clicks, but a rom in the traditional sense, even the stock ones, are only kernel and rom. Modem is usually a separate flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
think you mistyped and meant modems not included with rom.

and yes this is correct.

modems are flashed or odin'd separately.

to check what modem you are on, go to settings, about, and the baseband is the modem you are currently on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KingViper:
I did some searching and couldn't find anything, so please forgive me if this is a known issue.

I flashed this rom for my GF and everything is working great except that the backlight for the buttons turns off pretty quickly and it's sometimes annoying in the dark when you can't see the buttons. She doesn't want to use the onscreen buttons so I was trying to make the backlight for the physical buttons stay on while the screen is on. From what I could find I'm supposed to do the following.

Settings -> Display -> Automatic Backlight -> Use Custom - Checked

Settings -> Display -> Automatic Backlight -> Edit other levels...

Within that menu, there are supposed to be some settings, however when I select the "Edit other levels..." button, it throws the following error.

"Unfortunately, settings has stopped."

I did some googling and found that this can occur when the ambient light sensor isn't working since this menu is tied to that sensor. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
if you're dealing with important calls like that why the hell are you running an alpha rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
Flashed latest modem and chris41g kernel.....hopefully things work better tomorrow :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skylenorman:
In my experience the latest modem isn't necessary the best one. Signal Quality with each modem has a lot to do with your area, rom, and the kernel you're using. I'd recommend you go back through modems to see which one will work better for you. I've ended up staying with FD19 as it's the only one that'll place nice with both my area coverage and my airrave.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
You kidding? ICS and Cyanogen in one fell swoop? Enough folks use this as a daily driver. And I am just that kind of compulsive that I have to flash each build to see whats up. Fair enough, I made my bed.....fortunately the modem/kernel upgrade seems to help.

No one was using the 7/31 Nightly as a daily driver. Shabby commented earlier on what cause the issue. If your phone working is at all important to you, you should stick to builds that work. It should have been immediately apparent the issue with 7/31, if you cant test for even a few minutes I would wait to flash until you were not in a situation where you couldn't revert.

....Yeah and unrelated to CM9 :p

I am running it and I havent run his kernel since rc3 so not sure if the kernel is any different and or if any of the changes that happened on the 31st were fixed included for cm.

But it seems better than how things were for me. I started out not really having anything installed and it went well. No 4G on reboots.
