I think it's reasonable for a newcomer to the thread to misunderstand the state of development. I mean, the OP hasn't been updated since June, and it says that the latest is Alpha 6. Let's all be reasonable here.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Impius:
Let's not be a jerk about it. The title hasn't changed in a long time and references to the nightlies is buried in text and posts littered through the thread and has almost no instructions or clear guidelines or anything like that.

This whole thread assumes that the reader is already pro at this stuff so don't give people a hard time for asking legitimate questions. And no, I'm not the one lost or confused but I can only imagine walking into this trying to do this for the first time. It would be chaos and if I asked question that was thought to be dumb/ridiculous/noob etc? Smart ass remarks.

Nice.

Is there a recommended kernel to flash the temp boot from? Or do I need to completely flash stock and then reflash this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
it works from the nightly I'm on which is the one from shabbypinquin's goo.im link. I'm on 8-31-2012.... you can flash that, reboot recovery then load the tempboot from its cwm.

EDIT: also works from latest 9-4-2012 shabbypenguin build...

GPS Fix using Temp FF18

Has anyone had success doing the GPS fix using the temp FF18 ROM? I've tried fixing the GPS using temp FF18 from SundayFunday, BombSquad, and VroomVroom. GPS works well when in the temp ROM, but when I reboot into CM9, GPS doesn't work.

ok so I've been trying to get my phone and the WiFi to do what's it has been doing for the last few days today and it just does not want to work. I did however get a logcat (have to pull it and find where it happened since I have about 10 of them on my phone) where I would hit the drop down toggle for WiFi and it would fail to even start. Once I have it I will post the logcat for that so you can look at it chris. And I will continue to try and get a log cat for how WiFi is acting weird after I leave it on for a few and not use the phone (it pretty much turns around and while WiFi is connected no data at all will work unless I toggle WiFi off then on again is the issue I've been having yet today for some stupid reason it's not allowing me to get a log for it doing this since it wants to work for some dumb reason.

I know it's not the router as it's always been fine and I've gone through a few builds (kernel only before you stopped releasing them and just went with the ones built into the releases you have made) where it started to pop up again. trying to get it to happen so I can let you see what's going on. /annoyed that it does NOT want to do it when I'm trying to catch it meh....

Just did some testing with airplane mode.

When airplane mode is on, and you reboot the phone, the notification pull down has a few glitches. The date in the shade defaulted to Dec 31, 1999. Also, the quick setting toggles disappeared. A few cycles of screen on/off brought the quick toggles back. Date didn't correct until airplane mode was off and data re-established. The above was repeated on the 2nd leg of the flight with same results.

Clean install with vroom-vroom.

Didn't know if this was ever reported, but here you go.

Don't know about the toggles, but your date and time setting is to receive it from the network, and if you have the radio off, you get the default date string you are seeing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I use the car dock fairly regularly with this phone and have noticed that the behavior of it with CM9 is somewhat different from stock (GB, never tried stock ICS.) These observations are on My Spoon, but have been consistent with previous nightlies as well.

One thoroughly welcome change is that when the phone is pulled out of the dock while music is playing through the dock's audio output, it has the good sense to turn the music off. Stock behavior is to keep playing music, but reroute it through the phone's speaker. This was rather obnoxious as you would have to manually turn the music off when you wanted to take the phone out of the dock. I much prefer that the phone turns the music off when you pull it out of the dock, which it's what CM9 does at present. Yay.

One not-so-welcome difference is how the phone handles Bluetooth media connections. On stock, the setting to reroute audio through the dock overrides any Bluetooth media connections that may exist. This is beneficial because you can play music or other media through the car stereo while any calls automatically are routed to a Bluetooth earpiece, even if the earpiece has a media connection. On CM9, no such luck; if you want to connect your Bluetooth and get calls to come through it but media to come through the car speakers, you either need to manually disconnect the Bluetooth media connection in Bluetooth settings or wait till a call comes in and answer by turning on your Bluetooth. Disconnecting from media is a pain, and the hazard with the latter option is you get deafened when the call ends and the music restarts because media is still routed to the earpiece and not the external speakers.

I know this is a minor difference in behavior, but it's significant if you use the car dock for music with a Bluetooth earpiece as it either requires you to fiddle with the settings while driving or makes you run the risk of having full volume tunes get blasted into your earpiece.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior? This is with the official Samsung car dock.

If the guy had read one recent post for every CM9 build that has come out in the past 48 hours, he wouldn't need to ask...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkendes:
If you're on one of Chris' latest builds, you can always use the EL29 directboot kernel. Just flash in Mobile Odin, then flash the temp FF18 .zip. You'll need to re-flash whichever nightly you're currently using after you're done with the stock ROM to get back to CM9. None of your stuff will have changed.

Hmm, I don't think so. This is clearly a time travel bug. Better call the Doctor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I don't think you can tempboot ff18 from that directboot kernel... you can use the older el29 tempboot though.

ff18 tempboot requires a kernel with kexec and CWM 6.0.* which the el29 directboot doesn't have.

el29 tempboot would work with el29 directboot.

ff18 would work by temporarily flashing one of the newer nightlies on shabbypenquins link, rebooting to that recovery, then tempbooting ff18. once done, reboot back to recovery and FLASH chris's experimental build to get back to where you were.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
I can't confirm, mostly because I have 2 different BT sources - the car for phone, and a BT dongle for A2DP. However, there are still differences from stock. On stock, while playing music, if a call comes in, the music pauses, then resumes after the call. Keep in mind that this may be music app-specific, but the behavior is the same with both Pandora and Slacker Radio. On CM9, the music app often (not always) exits when receiving a phone call. I manually have to start music up again. Same thing when placing a call. Doesn't happen every time, either. Bizarre.

Navigation is different, too. On stock, the music would pause when Nav instructions came through, then resume after. Not in CM9 - Nav instructions come in over the music. Not always great.

I use Car Dashboard Pro, btw. Again, this could be a function of the dashboard app, the nav app (Google Maps/Nav), and the music apps. However, stock seemed to handle these transitions a little better.

In general, when using Dashboard Pro, switching from one thing to another generally leads to the app that I'm leaving being closed, and even the car dock app being closed. But not always. :eek:

When going back to the el26 kernel for CWM to make the backups, is it normal for the date of the backups to be 2000.01.01? Or something like that.

I was running FC22 kernel on AOSPmod ICS 3.5 FC24 modem, but battery life was dismal even after clearing stats and 3 full cycles.

This CM9 rom/kernel has the best battery life by far on ICS leaks.

My only issue is I'm only getting 2 satellite locks where I can get 7-10 satellites on an EL26 rom/kernel w/ FC24 modem, I've flashed twice now making sure gps was locked before rebooting into download/recovery..

Which modems are you guys using? with GOOD [6+] satellite locks using 'gps status' ?

@sbrissen, do you have the kernel that is baked into this rom as a flashable file? i ran my backup with EL26/cwm5 and i want to restore my backup and get my CM9a2 back up and running... I can start over if there is no flashable kernel for this rom.. But if i dont have to start over that would be excellent..

I pulled the kernel from the rom, but I do not know how to flash it manually.. I am hoping someone knows if/how I can flash that kernel manually if it is even possible. if someone knows, please chime in on this one..

thanks

If you can't make a flashable zip, I believe you can push kernels using ADB. Haven't use ADB in a couple years though, and that was just to get my last phone rooted, so I don't know exactly how.

I can get the file onto my phone no problem, I just dont know how to flash it, nor do I know how to make a flashable zip with the kernel. I am sure that it is not just a matter of adding the .zip, or .tar to the end.. I wish it was that easy..

That's what ADB can do. The kernel, like most things on linux is just a single file, you can use ADB to push the custom kernel/zimage to the phone, then you just reboot the phone and your running your custom kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] atomb:
You can just restore the backup of CM9a2 from the EL26 recovery and then just flash the CM9a2 over the top of your backup and then reboot. This should fix the kernel and you will still have all your settings and data.

Personally I usually use adb to flash different kernels on ics. Look for chris41g's thread on getting rid of the yellow triangle. Replace his zimage with the zimage of the kernel you want and run the script
