man storage configuration in pre alpha 5 still isn't like alpha 3 which worked the best out of them all. In alpha 3 you could tell the system to make the sd card the internal stoage and the internal storage as sd card. Then the system would install all game data onto the sd card whether its gameloft data or data that goes into the android folder (note not all gameloft games download to android folder. some go into a seperate folder) the way it is configured now in alpha 4 and prealpha 5 is gameloft games go to whatever storage is sd card. gonna try the other kernel that was posted and see if that works like alpha 3

edit: NOPE!!! OS still wants to try to use both storage areas instead of just choosing one. hope this gets fixed in the future. going back to alpha 3 unless there is another way to get the storage configuration in alpha pre 5 to act like alpha 3 storage configuration works

Is there a way to have wifi come back on after the phone sleeps for a while. If I stay at my house and have wifi on, then leave the phone for a while, when I wake the phone, wifi won't connect to the same network, or any network. You have toggle wifi to reconnect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Majin101:
I'm confused where's alpha 5 I checked the post .. -_- sorry guys
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
There is no alpha 5 yet. Check blog for news.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] godiZFICTION:
It hasn't been released here yet as its a pre-release of Alpha 5.

Why does 4g turn to 3g when hotspot is turned on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
because its only unlocked for 3g with the hotspot use wifi tether from the market or try foxfi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
FoxFi is essentially the same thing as the builtin wireless tether. Ends up turning on that and 4G turns off again. WiFi Tether half works and half doesn't. I've set device profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and here's my results:

3G download speeds but 4G upload speeds​

Anyone able to get 4G download speeds with wireless tether? Sucks cause a friend with the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and FoxFi works just fine with LTE.

FORGET IT:

Someone told me to use that profile and I just listened without even trying the Samsung Epic 4G Touch one. LOL :P Here's my results now:

That's better.​
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0tes:
The pre release is up for download it seems.

Glad you got it cuz I have no issue with wireless tether at all... works fine on 4g or 3g

I miss the task manager option. Can we please incorporate that into cm9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
Ditto
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
That would need to be requested through Cyanogenmod themselves and not the group maintaining the device. That would be an upstream change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
I've used both of those apps. But as soon as they fire up 4g goes right to 3g. I'm thinking its a kernel issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JackImpact:
I tried this. It didn't work =[

I don't think I did anything wrong. Walked outside and it got a lock fine. Then I rebooted. Reflashed CM9 and its not working.

EDIT:

Redid it, reset gps data and then downloaded more, calibrated the compass and now it works! It connects really quick too! Hopefully no more problems.

Kill app back button action

In developer options actually is similar but better bc Less buttons to push
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad82109:
This is what's keeping me from using this rom. Sucks cause its the best one out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bb4arson:
To many apps to kill at one time .and the back space button only works for single apps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
It will get fixed in the next update. Darchstar said he messed up a setting in the pre alpha 5 build that he will fix.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
post said for people like you who are having problems.... first thing is have you even tried alpha 5 since apparently not everyone has the issue but if you do a kernel was posted. Maybe you should nandroid your setup and flash the new alpha 5 and see how it goes.... Jus' Sayin'
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad82109:
Yes but the changelog specifically says they changed the sdcard and external_sdcard directories to emcc and sd card. A kernel wont change that. I tried flashing the new rom and the new kernel same problem. Besides a poster who is apart of the dev team for this rom already said it was a error and it will be fixed next update after beta 5.

Download here - https://hotfile.com/dl/158191522/76c3020/LowerDPI_PhoneMod_CM9_A4.zip.html

Flash via CWM stock recovery, preferably EL26 or extract Phone.apk and push to /system/app, and set permissions. Let me know how it works as I wasn't able to test. I also didn't include the Phantom VM fix but if there is enough demand, Ill make one with it included. Nevermind, I forgot this was implemented into the CM9 apk already.

Enjoy!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
It is my understanding that the /emmc and /sdcard directory won't change and is how cm9 distinguish the 2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rooster85:
When apps misbehave you sometimes need to kill them!:thumbup:

Sent from my awesomely EPIC Phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Which is what the "back to kill app" feature is for in cyanogenmod. You're in an application, it misbehaves, kill it off. That is it's intention at least.

What I had originally quoted, from the original poster, is that he said sometimes there are a bunch of apps and opening them all and force quitting them takes too much time. So by that logic, if you have 3+ apps misbehaving all at once then you should look into alternatives. ::thumbs up::
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AreOh:
Because apps that aren't needed that are just running in the background kill the battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
This is not exactly true. This isn't really the place to discuss it in much detail, but I will say this. If you have apps running in the background that are draining THAT much battery, then chances are the app is in someway problematic.

Android stores tasks in memory. When you open the apps, they are called from that memory which is actually less resource intensive to get the app back to the foreground. Android handles tasks in a special way. When the operating system feels the need to kill applications to free ram, it will. And does.

IMO you are more likely to see cpu stress slowing things down than used memory, which is why opening applications from memory which are frequently used will likely actually result in LESS power consumption.

When you kill an app and open it the next time, instead of it opening in a "stored" state in memory, you're potentially cycling the cpu more to reopen said application.

NOW, show me a task killer that shows cpu cycles and that background apps are actually cycling the cpu and are not just harmlessly stored in ram and there might be more discussion, or as I said, it could just be an app that needs some adjustment. :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] >MR.T:
+1 for task manager
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
And that is done great schooling no task killer needed. If you feel the need for one, go to the play store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
I have never used a task killer, long press back button has always worked great for me. IMHO extra task killers just bog down the phone and use extra battery. That is one more background process that is not needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I will admit as a rookie I did use a task killer but after those two days and doing my homework here and on ppcgeeks I realized like many others its doing more harm than good. I cant believe with ICS and that wonderful kill app back button, which by the way is one of the best things about AOSP roms. Why unless you don't truly understand how Android works would you want that? Just my opinion...

On another note I am running 5 pre1 and I tried kobridge's tweaks, well the wifi and the ondemand tweaks only from his cm9 moderate package and it definitely helped me get through my first full day (14hrs) without having to charge my phone on ICS...

Edit: Did not use the whole zip by kobridge since first time I tried I lost internet capability but I will try again later to make sure it was not something I did...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
You should try this app. It is really good :D

You know, I never close tasks except one, Facebook. It's a process that is on, which is fine, but then it uses CPU when looking at OS Monitor. Facebook sync is off and notification refresh as well. It's a buggy app...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad82109:
Stock distinguished the two as sdcard and external_sdcard. A lot of the apps act up cause of the renaming. Oh well it will be fixed and ill be back on cm9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
If anyone is using this phone with boost mobile on CM9 or AOKP i made a flashable zip that should enable working MMS without having to do to much digging. Just flash this after flashing CM9 before you exit recovery:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Long press to kill apps on CM9 in Developer Settings is great. Sometimes you don't realize something wasn't closed when you left it but long press back is a great option

Please Help

I tried flashing cm9 over, and I'm stuck at the welcome to sph-d710 screen. When I click the green android guy it pops up saying "unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped." When I try to boot into clockwork recovery it instead boots into Android system recovery 3e. I'm seriously stuck and in desperate need of help here.

I've tried reflashing using the android system recovery but it goes about halfway then screen turns to the green android guy lying on his back with a red triangle over him. Help?

Edit: Also tried touching all four corners (read that it can skip the setup sequence) to no avail. And, if someone texts or calls me, it still comes through and I can reply and such, but I cannot get anything other than that. Will edit if I figure anything else out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
i'd boot into download mode, odin the el26 kernel/recovery, reboot to recovery and try to reflash the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Sounds like a simple reflash my friend...... do like post above mine says and I would do a lil research; on how that kings are with recoveries and such with our phone....just to be safe...Good Luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anarde:
hm

If by download mode you mean holding the volume down key and power button, it doesn't work.

I guess it might help to know that this is a U.S. Cellular Galaxy S2, but the guides I saw for flashing CM9 to my phone all said to use the Epic 4G Touch.

First thing I thought was download mode and reflash but I just can't seem to get it into download mode. Only Android System Recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wildside84:
finally decided to switch to cm9 from fe16. haven't really noticed a difference in battery life, but overall it's been a pleasant experience. not trying to be a douche or anything but any idea when it will make it out of alpha stage? will it be after the official update is released?

i think once they get an actual aosp kernel and get cwm to play nice, i believe it becomes official

Quick question about kobridge's 3.3.1 tweak:

I know that we are supposed to unzip the main file which reveals 4 smaller zip files.

Are we supposed to flash each one of those files? Does the order matter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bralkan:
They are different amounts of underclocking.

A is the lowest = more battery / less peformance up to SF which is the most. He has it in his first post in the thread I think
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
If you don't want to flash them via CWM, then push the files to their appropriate locations and change permissions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
I have two questions today.

1) Is anyone else having an issue where flash videos don't show anything? I can hear sound and it says it's playing but the video just shows black. This happens in the browser and Youtube. I have the latest Flash player installed.

2) Is there anything wrong with pre-release alpha 5? Why isn't it normal released yet? What bugs are the trying to squash before the update this thread? Is it as stable as alpha 4?

Thank you

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Sorry, meant no disrespect. Will try the new version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
What kernel did you attemp to flash it with?

You have to flash to a different kernel like el26 repack or el29 directboot, flash 3.3.1, then flash to a CM9 kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Personally, I like to flash to el26, flash the WHOLE cm9 rom, and then flash tweaks. I noticed that flashing any other kernel causes fcs/restarts. Although I havent tried pulling and flashing the one from the rom itself. That is also an option.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
That's not a good idea.

When you flash the rom, at least you have to boot one time to settle down the new ROM on your phone. Then, flash EL26 and flash Kobridge Tweak, then flash CM9 or the kernel based on your preference. Personally I don't have any link where we could download the CM9 kernel - maybe share the same kernel with AOKP?

that will make the Kobridge tweak working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
So if you fresh install a rom , flash gapps them your tweaks, the tweaks won't work? I flashed cm9 , gapps then your tracks two days ago and in the about phone it has the cm version as 3.3.1m
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Getting caught up with the thread so sorry if this has been dropped already...

I can tell you as an app dev that when an app is in the background, unless its using a push or poll service, it uses less battery than force closing it and opening it at a later time. When you open an app, it cycles the CPU and runs whatever necessary startup scripts it needs. These processes are not run when an app is restored from background.

An app uses more CPU and battery resources in the first minute of start-up than it does in a few days of background (again, depending on what services its running in the background. Facebook is a good example of an app that'll eat battery no matter what)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
If flash isn't working, reinstall it, fixed the Dolphin issue for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
No, you flash the one you want. Right next to the version number on the zip file there will be a letter or letters that tell you which one it is (example: 3.3.1F)

I copy pasted this from the second post on this thread

"there are 4 different sets up tweaks available -

SF Super Fast - almost maximum speed without o.c or o.v (also check the battery savings)

F fast - almost same speed with SF but targetting more battery savings

M moderate - big different, faster than previous version but would get the same amount of battery saving

A aggressive - targetting aggressive batttery savings. So, this is the slowest one. I'm still looking for the way to improve this one."

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Yea, it was probably some buggy app now that I think about it. Prob s-voice since I tried messing around with that.

But to be honest, I just feel more comfortable with GB. I kinda came to that realization after I tried showing off ICS to my friends. Their response was always: "OK, so what." and all I could show em was the face unlock.

Maybe someday, but for now im stickin with GB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Until you spend a good amount of time with ICS you realize it's more intuitive and makes sense. Originally I felt the same way. But CM9 is a nice clean ROM with tons of tweaks with a stock feel. One thing I know is that gapps are much better on ICS and more functional. There's a ton of other things. They might be little things but they're little things that make a huge difference. Might not be as show off worthy but this ROM is very functional
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Majin101:
Yeah, I agree from the post above, gapps for ics is nice i like the messenging app =) CM9 is running flawlessly for me at moment.
