Oh, oh. I lost the comments of my external_sd/dcim folder somewhere in between accidentally wiping data in recovery, restoring, flashing Shabby's 8/30, and booting into the FF18 multiboot to update PRL.

I've been ROMming for "a while" and this is my first data loss.

So while I can't point a finger at any one thing, I'd like to give all y'all a big heads-up.

ETA: just used "Recuva" to get many of the files back. Also looks like some things in another folder were deleted, basically it was a repository of CM9-related software.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
thats because you no longer have an epic4gtouch but a d710, its to fit with cm standards of using a model number.

as stated above this is not an incorrect reporting, but how cm wants it done
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] third son:
Do I just flash over the top after a cache wipe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piscesjoey:
You may could get away with that, but I recommend doing a full wipe before flashing the new build.

Are others having problems with mms send? It hangs forever
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] transitoyspace:
Yup. Its an issue but IDK if they want to acknowledge it...

Lately it started working like normal. But idk how long itll last.

I already tried the deleting telephony.db fixes...clearing caches...nothing

Chris41g sayes it should be working and shouldnt have issues..but i have it. (so do others)

I liked CM a lot. Been my daily driver for a while now but I simply can't live without that app. :( is there any way I can change this myself so it will work. It would be a pity to have to give up CM over something so stupid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
contact the developer. supercurio will add the device.... he's pretty good with updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheInvsbleMan:
Ok cool contacted him and explained the situation. Hoping for an update :)

None of the 3 or 4 people who say they are having mms problems have provided logs or any further information. If whereas the 30 to 40 testers I have, are yet to report mms issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I continued to perform dirty installs ever since my first cm9 install back in March. Not one problem with mms, and I send and receive them often.

I just did my first clean install since March for the "vroom vroom" build. Just tested mms and I can both send and receive ok.

I want to say that mms transfers thru 3g only (not wifi).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheInvsbleMan:
On the topic of changing the device ID Isn't the whole point of cyanogenmod to enhance stability and compatibility? If I'm not mistaken a priority cyanogen laid down was for the OS not to break app compatibility. Why not keep the device ID as the one the manufacturer chose? I don't understand the point of choosing a random ID. I'm sure this isn't the only app that is going to break because of this. Just my 2 cents...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
The one we were using for the last year wasn't the manufacturer one either... So that's irrelevant..

Stock = SPH-D710

Old cm = epic4gtouch

Cm now = d710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Most apps won't care about the device name.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
SPH-D710 IS the manufacturer name for the device. That's what my build of cm is showing as device name now.

Sadly, however, hulu no longer recognizes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheInvsbleMan:
Device name is different from device ID. Device ID is something embedded into the OS some developers use this ID to check if your device is a supported device for their app, even if your device is one that is supported if the exact Device ID is not on that apps white list of Device IDs it will tell you your device is not compatible. Which is what Hulu is doing for you, and Voodoo Louder is doing for me.

To the devs. I'm no developer, and I appreciate all the work you guys do but I guess I just don't see the point of changing something so menial if it is going to break things; especially on CM where the stated purpose is stability and compatibility. If I'm wrong in my thinking here and there is a legitimate reason it needs to or should be changed I'd love to learn about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lems111:
I use Hulu as well and disappointed with the compatibility issue; but, my disappointment is towards the app developer. Why limit the app in that way? Controlling who should be able to use the app is very discriminating.

Sorry Chris no disrespect. I appreciate the hard work you have done on this. MMS works sometimes, Other times it just hangs. How do I generate a a log to send you?

I tried it this morning and it worked fine...I will give it a few more days...thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distortedskies:
your running a nightly build, expect things to break. I don't see why people are complaining about this, the app developers will update their apps ad by the time cm9 is stable for this device there won't be an issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
I don't see anything that specifically says the words "device ID" in the build.prop

Trying to post a screen cap for you but it's not working from mobile. If you have rom toolbox you can enter the build.prop editor and find what you're looking for. Which tag is the "device id" you're referring to, as there are several that could potentially qualify?

Is my USB OTG cable supposed to work?

I just tested it with my optical mouse and nothing.

I've never used it before so not sure if my laser mouse is asking for too much power.

I'd be willing to run some commands for testing if needed.

I've got a wireless keyboard USB dongle, laser mouse, and 32GB flash drive I could test with.

I know USB OTG is one of those whiz-bang features that would be cool to have.

Also camera options turn upside down when u go into camera when phone is right side up and screen rotation seems to get stuck. anyway probably problems will be fixed tomorrow. Did notice voltages added in... appreciated! Thanks Chris for the kick ass work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
Ok, so last night (randomly, and without having installed, downloaded, or changed any settings) my phone froze, then reset, then will not restart without freezing after 10 seconds or so. This happens every time regardless of which CM9 build I restore with. I even tried going back to StockCWM-EL26.tar then back to CM9a6....and the phone still freezes 10 seconds into restart. Are there any other avenues I can try, short of a factory reset?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyleinkc:
I was also having rotation issues with the MakingBond build - my screen was rotated 180 degrees no matter how I held my phone. I calibrated my phone a couple of times but that didn't help. Reverted back to Usual Suspects - Thank you, Chris and Shabby for your work with the CM builds.

EDIT:

When trying to run a backup I kept getting an aborted error having to do with ro.buildprop. The same thing happened when trying to do a clean install of UsualSuspects. Currently, I am using one-click to go back to GB stock root to start fresh EL29. UPDATE - After installing EL29 and flashing CMW, I was able to install UsualSuspects, however it would just run the boot animation. After getting back into recovery (the updated recovery loaded by CM9 and formatting everything including my external SD card, I was able to reinstall Usual Suspects without issue (by mounting to USB and loading on my ext card).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
now when i odin back to StockCWM-EL26.tar, the phone will not get past the samsung galaxy s II screen, or it show s a battery with a frozen loading circle thingy. But when I flash a CM9 zip, it starts-up (go past the galaxy II screen), but freezes up within 10 seconds. I really don't want to factory reset because my wife just had a baby and some of the pics are on my phone cause CM9 wouldn't let me save them to SD card. any help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drewzy52:
Do you still have CWM for your recovery? If so, just mount the SD storage under mounts on the main screen within CWM and connect to your PC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mightypenguin:
You're seeing these issues with the phone plugged in while starting up?

If that works then you may just have a bad battery (or even if it still has that problem while plugged).

The data reset in CWM (if that's what you're talking about) should not delete your pictures, but if you have any question you might want to visit a Sprint store and see what the tech says. Usually if you're nice to them they aren't too Nazi about your phone having a custom rom, but he may not let you exchange it or do deeper work on it until it's back to stock. But going back to stock shouldn't erase your pics.

If you're not absolutely sure about the pics not being stored on your SD card you could get a cheap SD reader and plug the card directly into a laptop or desktop and double check the pics aren't on there.

Auto rotation will not rotate back when it rotates one way. Gps is running fine for me too. Running NFL countdown build.

Also camera buttons are reversed as previously addressed.

Perhaps already answered, but I would not. Look at the links in my sig. They suggest either a full wipe or no wipe. Partial wipes seem to leave my phone in a worse state than no wipe.

I do not have any issue sending MMS. Just sent a picture from my gallery. If I do, I'll grab and post a logcat.

Anyone had any problems transferring files to the storage on the phone or sdcard? It's either a hit or miss it seems.

Noticed when transferring multiple files it will just halt, and error. Most the time the first file on a fresh connection works just fine, it's the second file that always seems to fail. I've tried different cables, file sizes, and computers.

Around line 887 I believe is where it blew up in the logcat below:

I'm running some tests on CM9 today, flashed PartyStarter and when I ran a nandroid backup, I got the reboot during the process. I checked on boot that the kernel included the interactive governor and sure enough, its there..

with myspoonistoobig, usualsuspects, and vrooomvroom, i had no problems with MMS

with any rom (cm9 included) i do have a hard time sending/receiving mms when i have a ****ty signal (no 1x-3g) and it usually fails and will never successfully retry even when i've caught good signal. in the past i've had the same mms picture in my messaging bring marked as sending for weeks....thought this would drain battery but it looks like its not even trying cause it never ends up sending and battery life remained the same.

Yes, the last few builds have been having issues with rotation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
Chris do you need a logcat for the rotation issue? I do not know if it will reveal anything. Even in your newest build "Willitfloat" rotation is still broken.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] attrapp:
It seems that the 0 degrees and 180 degrees are flipped. If you are stuck in landscape and then flip the phone 180 degrees, it will rotate the opposite way back to 0 degrees (regular portrait). Thank god this is a issue for more than just me. I was so freaked out at first.

OK, so I am a tabUI junkie. I was wondering, is there any way to convert the tabUI zip that is flashed in recovery into an apk file? This way I can just put that file in the preload folder of the rom.. would that work to have the tabUI mod included in the CM9 rom?

Flashed WillItFloat, rotation issue still there...tried going back to UsualSuspects and got the same ro.buildprop error message mentioned a couple pages back. Wouldn't let me flash back. Nandriod failed. Wiped data etc and retried UsualSuspects with no luck. Reflashed float and it took.

Been up to date on Chris's builds for a while with no issues going back and forth. Anybody else having problems getting back? Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

EDIT: tried a fresh download of a couple of the d710 builds with no luck. As best as I can tell, the issue is with the model change from epic4gtouch to d710. CWM is finding something it doesn't like with ro.build part of the flash process after the BombSquad build.

I managed to get back to BombSquad and am running solid again (no rotation issues either.) Hope this helps in some way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Yep, I'm just wondering if it is able to be converted, and if that would work by saving in the preload folder prior to flashing, or is the zip able to be saved in the rom in the same fashion?

I might be totally off base here and the mod might need to be baked into the rom in ways that i have no clue about.. :/

I'm not new to flashing though, just was wondering if it would work in general for folks that still like to use it.. just trying to blend the process..

Hi everybody, I don't know if this will be of any help to anybody, but the only cm9 rom that I've had the capacitive key backlights work correctly is on shabby's 8-06-2012. All the other builds I've flashed have them somewhat borked... either always on or always off. Or the only way to turn them on is to physically touch the buttons. The 8-06 build correctly turns them on when the screen is touched and they self-time-out in about 6 seconds. Everything else seems to work fine, except I've had trouble with Wi-Fi (don't have it at home anyway), and I'm unable to test 4g (flashed to cricket).

Not complaining, just a heads-up. I love me some AOSP goodness... good job, devs!
