I've only been able to get Alpha3 to run in tablet mod and even just tried flashing it with Alpha 5 and it locked up in boot animation so I clean flashed A5 I would rather have tablet mod but I don't want to stay to Alpha's behind in progress.

you know you are addicted when your binary count is 118

when all else fails try reading and following instructions like a woman. It still it didn't run in tablet mod Alpha 5, stuck in boot animation. Just re flashed with a min to spare for my phone to be receiving call's for my daily lunch talk with my wife. Whew! She is constantly telling me to leave my phone alone and just run stock.... Ugh hate stock so I always try to get by in a flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Yep, it's as easy as looking in the Android Themes section at XDA (the parent forum is "Android Hacking").

I currently have 15 different themes installed. :)

tablet mod hasn't been updated for newer builds yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
Didn't do a full wipe but I also flashed the mod that allows you to put the status bay at the bottom, system iu not responding, went back re flashed without it boot it up no issues battery life is great 6 hours on the charger.

CM9 Alpha4 Users -

Could someone help me out to test this tweak for CM9 Alpha4 only?

It's not been tested (I don't have CM9 installed but AOKP build37). Based on my theory, this should work. But I've got some report that my previous tweak 3.2.1 or 3.2 was not worked well on CM9.

So, I need someone (experienced) to test out this. Once the test is done, I'll release the full package for CM9 users. If you are not familiar with CM9, please even don't try this.

Based on previous reporting, this tweak could cause a boot loop. So only the person who is familiar with CM9 and how to recover the system from the boot loop, try this.

What I need to know is,

Is it working fine?

3G/4G/GPS connection? Any lag time? etc...

Flashable zip file is available at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668853&page=52
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deaver_92:
Right, so don't make a backup with the directboot kernel unless you are ok with flashing another kernel every time you restore the backup. The directboot kernel prevents booting into any rom at anytime. Reboots land you back in recovery. Just a heads up for those interested. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
Two issues.

1. I am no longer able to "share page" from the browser. For instance, when I try to share on Facebook, it processes for a second then says "unfortunately Facebook Has stopped". I get the same error for email and gmail apps. Any ideas for a fix?

2. The reloaded mod no longer works. it gives me a system ui error that keeps popping up and no notification bar. I have since reflashed without the reloaded mod.

Otherwise, real nice. Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Yeah, the CM9 Reloaded Mod has had issues with the most recent CM9 builds. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
Just upgraded from alpha4. Looks like emmc and sdcard may have switched locations again.

I do not have 4g in my area.

Very fast and no lag.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] samsmalls:
I hope this happens soon, I'm still two alphas behind due to this silly tablet mod that i can't seem to lose my addiction with!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Nope. A5p1 no issues with emmc / sdcard. Usually just have to clear data on explorer+

A weather widget?

Why did you try to pull one from a rom?

Have you tried the play store?

Plenty of options to choose from.

Beautiful Widgets is a great app.

No issues. I haven't had enough time off the charger to test the battery but mine has always been stellar.

I also expect that Kobridge's tweaks will help even more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Yea, Like the original accuweather that comes with the standard GB roms. I'd like an original sammy one as I think it looks best. Plus, don't really wanna spend money on b widgets.

EDIT: also, has anyone gotten s-voice to work? If so, which apk did you use?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Somairotevoli:
Running smooth here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
real, offcial cm9..thank you for bringing this to us!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
Im actually gonna try this. I wasnt a fan of CM7. I loved how smooth and fast it was tho. Just not the look. But I tested out the testing build last night actually and i loved it. The initial setup at the start was awesome and everything is awesome looking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trevoc1:
All i can say is hell yeah. I'm so glad i got this phone and have the pleasure to be in such a great community with such awesome development and people. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwesomeTurtle:
CM7 was stock Android; a build-your-own-experience ROM. What are you even talking about?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
I'd love to flash this, but there is no Odin for Mac and not sure what files or how to flash with heimdell.

Ugh...mac.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
Big thanks to darchstar

I am usually constantly testing new ROMs but I have been on this since his first build and just cannot bring myself to change. CM9 is what Android was intended and is supposed to be
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:
Is there any LOS? Also, what recovery do we have after we flash this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
Im In gonna give it a go check it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
odin or mobile odin to el26 to flash this

if you are on mac,and don't have mobile odin, use heimdall to flash el 26

this release is really nice and clean!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cowbud:
el26? shouldnt we go to fc22

Why are you suggesting we go to el26. Is that due to the recovery? After we are on cm9 can we go to fc22?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
No LoS

read the install instructions for the right recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
Until further notice you should not use any ics recoveries including fc22 because it has been causing bricks- for now be safe and always use el26 via odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cowbud:
Perhaps I am confusing modem with recovery. I was referring to the modem. It sounds like we.can be on fc22 modem after we flash cm9. But if I am already on fc16 modem do I have to downgrade to use el26 recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:
Yeah I know about what recovery to flash but you know like in the previous CM9 builds and all ICS builds that after you flash the ROM, you lose the recovery and are stuck with the stock one recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Its just about the kernel and the recovery, I believe modem has nothing to do with what rom you run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
I odin el26 and get the triangle and nothing else able to odin back to el29 but cannot get it to flash cwm any sugestions
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blkchoc3:
Same thing here..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Phr0z3n:
Press and hold Vol Up+Pwr, it should turn off the phone (if it went to a blank screen after the Logo + Triangle) keep holding the Logo will come back and after a bit more it will go into CWM where you can flash everything
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I believe the haptic issue is a know bug, too intense if I read correctly. They'll get it fixed eventually. Video recording issue is the current priority though.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chasew83:
daily

flashed as soon as it went up the other day! runs great! thanks darch and brissen!

only problem i have seen is have to unmount internal and external storage to download some apps from play store.

also mms seems to be a bit unreliable, downloading it or sending. turned wifi off, reset apn and still having issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rican408:
so isnt it much easier to use one click to apply the el26 cwm? also no yellow triangle or odin count....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chasew83:
thats what i did, one click odin back to stock el26 then one click cwm el26
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
When you say stock recovery, you do mean CWM recovery, right? Stock recovery that comes w/ the stock kernels will not work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] misfit0313:
Wiped everything except sdcard and emmc. Flashed Calkulins format all after manually wiping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
You have to delete the phone.apk entry in data/dalvik-cache and reboot after moving the file with root explorer. Usually, with a working cwm install zip, I'd have the dalvik wiped automatically. But since its not realistic yet, you have to manually do it.

I posted the apk as a reference. If you search for my posts in xda regarding persistent VM notifications, you'll see install instructions. I can't link it on tapa. I'm running the modded apk and it works as you'd expect it to.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rlmiller:
This is in the install guide...

If you're having trouble flashing due to script asserts, you may have formatted system. The assert script looks to the build.prop on the system partition to know it's flashing on the correct device, and if the system isn't there, it'll fail. Please, don't format the system partition before flashing.

hope it helps

Update: Noticing a lot of process activity by various instances of kworker via BetterBattStats. I assume it's mainly the kernel's fault, and the system trying to keep it in shape?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsloanindy:
Great ROM... I don't think I've had any FC's or reboots with it after nearly two days of use. My only issue is it chews through a lot of battery. I think I read that's with a alot of ICS' right now? I changed the sleep policy for the wifi to Never While Charging, but still seems about the same. I have an extended battery so I make it through the day, but once the Kernel is lighter on the battery, this is fantastic. All the other quirks (touch key lights and minor volume issues) are barely a bother.

I followed QBKing77's video for installing and had 0 issues. When (or even if) I want out of the rom I'll probably use Mobile Odin to throw EL26 recovery back on and then restore back to Blazer 4.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
The MMS is pissing me off. It works for about 24 hours, then it completely breaks. If I go and factory reset the device it starts working again. But rebooting, updating profile/prl, airplane on/off all don't work to fix it.

Going to install CM9 again (Even though I followed the instructions right) and if it doesn't work going back to GB for a while.

jailbirds are audio only I think.... This issue is with the voice command feature. Currently audio out works but the phone goes non responsive on voice command with screen off. Let me know if i'm wrong about these being audio only or if you've found a work around.

So, when installing CM9, I didn't get to install gapps because Safari auto extracted the zip and I didn't notice. Now when I try to install the zip it gets about 1/4 of the way and then the little android falls over and has an ! coming out of him.

What do? =[
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Flash CWM recovery (EL29 auto reboot to recovery will do)

Redownload gapps

Mount usb storage from recovery

Move apps to your sd card

Repeat.

Here is the install guide. Find initial install. Download that recovery. Follow directions and flash in odin. Only different is youll be flashing gapps and not the rom.

Just confirming with everyone else that Alpha 5 pre1 breaks storage.

Opening the Camera app results in a "Insert an SD card before using the camera." and opening the Gallery results in a "No external storage available".

I can confirm that THIS kernel fixes this issue!
