I just downloaded and installed FE21... Not sure why you are not getting active links

:what:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
It worked now. I do believe he was uploading the FE21 Kernel and it was the root cause of my woes.

Is there any built in ad-blockers? That is one thing I really liked about Caulkins ROMs is that ads within web pages were blocked, whereas with this ROM there appears to be no blocking at all :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Get adaway from the market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
No this rom is aosp with a few tweaks but no included add blocker. There are probably some general android guides on how to block some adds. Like you could swap out the host file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
DarchStar, On Alpha5 please add 4G hotspot tethering. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wiskid15:
Is there any fix for text splitting? A two + page text will not send.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
4g tethering is disabled on purpose. Its not a bug. There are apps in the market that will do the trick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Do you have a "SMS to MMS" option at the bottom of your Messaging settings? I have that ticked and sending a 2-parter text to myself worked just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knives of ice:
does the factory data reset option in CM9 work? maybe i should try that before i take this drastic measure of flashing back to an old gingerbread rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I wouldn't flash anything at all if I were you. Don't even try to restore a nandroid from recovery. If you want out of this thing the safest way to do it is to ODIN your way out!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] analyst28:
I am having trouble streaming audio to my laptop via bluetooth. It works great on stock but I seem to always have trouble with CM roms, even back on my EVO. I can pair and seem to get a connection but I get no audio. Is this a bug on this rom, all CM or am I missing something? Thanks in advance..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] charlesvw9:
Screw the leaks! Everything on this ROM is working good for me. Love the AOSP apps. At first I couldn't get MMS to work. I installed GO SMS and now MMS is working great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patthew:
Would an open-source driver need to be written for Samsung docks, or something? If not, that's kind of a bummer because my car dock obstructs the phone's headphone port

factory reset will delete gapps and wont fix anything .. U gotta odin bro

I love this rom .. Everything works except the minor bugs listed which hopefully will be fixed soon . Really good battery also which is important to me .. Love the messaging app .. I just cant figure out how to clear the voice mail notification away .. My visual voice mail is empty but the notification is still there ... If anybody can help with that i would appreciate it

Is anyone having a problem with mobile Odin not flashing kernal? Whenever I try to flash the EL 26 it tells me that mobile Odin is not working.

Regarding picture mail: mms worked 100% out the box for me.

I'm curious to know what data speed are on cm9 vs stock leaks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knives of ice:
my goodness i never thought android could be so complicated. i am at the point now where i just want to go back to my stable gingerbread rom that i have backed up. that being said what is the best way to do this? in the "how not to brick your phone" thread it says that i need to go back and restore EL29 and then also load CWM.

however, earlier in this thread when i was complaining about not having a recovey the following was posted:

"100% safe, non-bricking recovery to use with flashing ICS roms = EL26 with stock CWM recovery that was repacked by chrisg.

This means to odin back to this EL26 stock CWM to do anything in recovery, including restoring a previous nand backup.

All of these questions regarding which recovery to use, why is there no recovery, life without a recovery for flash addicts have been all addressed and can be found with simple searches.

Please refer to these discussion threads; they have good info that still applies to this alpha build.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1475358

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1543349"

so now i'm not sure what i should do or what the easiest way is to go about doing it. to add to the confusion i've never ever used Odin.

i just don't want to brick this goddamn thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkfire2024:
It would be in your best interests to simply use sfhub's one click for EL29 then use the autoroot package to install CWM. This is akin to rooting your phone again if you followed qbking77's video on how to root on EL29. Then you can restore your nandroid. This way, you won't add to your odin download count and it won't give you a yellow triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
download mobile odin in the market and use it to flash the el26 .tar file.

reboot into recovery (hold power + vol up) and flash whatever you want from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bo5ibbs:
Hey guys..I haven't had time to sift through all of the chatter so, sorry if this has already been mentioned. I am experiencing loss of data..not service. I simple toggle on/off with airplane mode fixes it most of the time. I just wanted to report a bug. I'll post a log next time this happens. Thanks for all of the hard work!

Edit:I updated my modem to fc 22...just in case that pertained to it..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knives of ice:
thanks man, this is definitely the way to go it seems. with everything being automatic it was pretty easy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] XBMC4LIFE:
So I asked this the other day and got no response..... Is there a recovery I can use that will sick with cm. I re flashed the cwm used to install alpha 4 and it put my phone in a boot loop. I used mobile Odin if that makes a difference. Can someone give me a little word of advice it would be much appreciated thanks. I want to flash a different kernel but don't want to boot loop in the process haha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
And you didn't read any of this thread. This is answered at least once a page. No there is no custom recovery that is ok to use with this. Its stock recovery or nothing. We will have a proper recovery and kernel someday but that day is not today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] XBMC4LIFE:
I read a few posts back about a good file manager and astro works wonders. It's a free app in the market and it acts like the original myfiles but much better quality. You can easily see you internal files and external sd files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
OK.. what's your point? Has nothing to do with the development of this rom. There are several file managers that can be downloaded and used with this rom. Kinda common sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] XBMC4LIFE:
I understand that completely. I was just saying astro is a good manager to use. It is simple. I originally had file explorer but it won't let me see my internal sd. Astro is just one that I found to work good with this so I was throwing it out there. Didn't know it was a big deal or had to be criticized for telling people one that worked good for me. I have found things that worked for others that ended up working for me as well. I don't see what the point in being disrespectful is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] XBMC4LIFE:
I actually read alot of pages of this thread and all I wanted to know is how to flash a kernel without bricking my phone or boot looping it again and having to set everything back up. Yes, I kinda figured there was no recovery but thought I would still ask because I may have missed something. Again., new to the rom and don't like messing up, I actually read. However, when I jump into something 6000 pages later no im.not going to read everything. I read the forum "how to not brick your phone" that was just posted a couple pages ago but it's explanation was a little confusing to me. So, im sorry to take up your time with non development questions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
because your post was completely random and has nothing to do with development of this rom.

if had read even a FEW pages, then you would've had your answer. please understand how frustrating it is to see this question asked literally HUNDREDS OF TIMES in this thread alone. multiply that by the number of ICS roms available and you should have a clear idea of how frustrating it is to see this question every time you check a thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I use Handcent. There is option under the SEND MESSAGE settings that allows you to split your text messages. Use this and your texts will always go through.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jtsv:
Tablet Mode worked in A3, I actually adapted to the setting's, notification etc.... being on the bottom and I think it has been helping my eyes to squint.

In A4 it seems to lock up and make my keyboard disappear and all the settings and notifications remain on top and as the regular rom notifications do.

I had to reflash 4 times yesterday in order to get my keyboard to show up and work properly. Is this an error on my part or is the tablet mode not compatible?

I do enjoy having both tablet and regular app's on my phone so if that is all I can get I will still be satisfied.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bjonesy77:
How do I backup and restore with an EL26 kernal without flashing a CM9 compatible kernal on top of it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
Honestly you don't...so basically you would need to do the following.

To backup:

1. Flash the EL26 Kernel w/CWM Recovery.

2. Boot into recovery and backup.

3. Flash the correct CM Kernel w/Stock Recovery to continue using your phone.

To restore:

1. Flash the EL26 Kernel w/CWM Recovery.

2. Restore from your previous backup.

3. Flash the correct CM Kernel w/Stock Recovery to continue using your phone.

And, yes that is not as simple as when the CWM Recovery could just be used for the current (at the time) Kernel but this is the only safe way to do this right now. Hopefully, that will all change in the next couple weeks if the reports leaking out of Samsung are correct.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
:rolleyes: Does anyone know why after I flash this ROM I can't get back into the ClockWork Recovery? :rolleyes:

Hey, it's a new page, someone has gotta ask. It's in all the previous pages with someone asking.

Seriously though, how has progress been going with the 3.x kernel? I imagine the developers have been trying to merge code from our GB source to another Galaxy ICS source to get things to A)compile and B)work. My guess is that things are compiling and that the devs are working on getting the functionality going (i.e. playing nice with the camera, sensors, accelerometer, radios, etc.). I've done a few code merge projects in the past (Java, C++, and Siebel) but nothing on the scale of a full kernel, all I can say is "Good Luck" because it's a TON of work.

The og epic crew has native 4G tethering enabled. My previous 4G phones have as well. This decision puzzles me.

NM. Saw the link to the issue on the previous page.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yitzter:
My apologies....but what does this accomplish. I've attempted to do some research on this and can't find much.

Does SafeMode act similarly to "Windows SafeMode" where only drivers and applications necessary for the OS to function load at boot?

I keep experiencing LOS with this rom & FD19.

I live in a fringe area, I have two sprint ariraves & I find I often have to toggle airplane mode to get my data back.

Any ideas on what it could be?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Try a newer modem. I'm on FE16 and haven't experienced any LOS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alamo76:
Yeah, I saw that. Thanks Emperor!

My questions about this method:

a. Isn't there a quicker way to set GPS lock?

b. Do I have to go back to GB to obtain lock and back to ICS each time I turn on/off the GPS in ICS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
It could easily be your airaves. Those things do more harm than good.

Why do you need two? Your phone might be switching between the two.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

B. No. Once it works, it works normally. I had to go back to GB myself because I forgot to get a GPS lock when flashing ICS->ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alamo76:
Since I have things set up the way I need them right now in CM9 (apps, widgets, data), can I back them up w/Titanium before I switch back to GB, back to ICS again, then restore those apps/data?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
Yes as long as you don't back them up again in gb. Try to restore backups from gb in ics is a major fail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alamo76:
Per QBKing's vid, is it necessary to flash from a GB rom, then CM7, then CM9?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
No, some people are able to resolve GPS issues by flashing back to GB, obtaining a lock, then flashing into cm9. However, you can flash cm from any rom you want, just use the kernel/recovery provided in the instructions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thunder_47:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Haven't you learned from your mistakes yet? Get a GPS lock before flashing anything new. If you can't do that then go back to GB.

DSP manager does not currently work. Best alternative is Volume + in the market.

Never had a problem with mobile odin on any builds. Try un-installing and re-installing again? Or clearing out data for it?

This build actually gets the fastest lock I've ever had. Have you tried the lock before flash fix provided on the last 363 pages? :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
Hmmmm. Wish I knew what to tell you. I know how I would feel. I use that app every time I flash something. :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
I really think it's due to the internal storage change. Maybe I borrow my wife's sd card and try that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
I fixed the issue. Mobile Odin will not work if you have close activities after leaving checked in development options. Apparently it subclasses to other processes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
go to your storage settings, and look in storage configuration, if "use internal storage" or whatever it says is checked, uncheck the box and reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TriBeard:
So I don't know if this has been asked before, I tried searching here and google but couldn't find anything about our device. I just came over from aokp due to the fact that the release notes for a4 said that led light colors are now customizable. However, I get purple as the default color, and no matter what I change the color to, the actual color of the led never changes. I know we only have a red and blue led as our color options, but I would be ok with just blue for everything. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Or is this still a bug?

Just as a side note, none of the led color change apps from the market seem to work properly either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
I'm almost positive that's kernel related. Not all release notes will apply to us until we get an official kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Do voice actions or voice search work for anyone in a4? I hadn't tried using them until today but I just get force closes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
I've got mine to flash red but I can't seem to get blue to work. I think the led color engine will need to be modified for our phone. The og epic has the same color choices so hopefully the og epic cm9 can share their fix if they ever get around to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad82109:
With my current set up why is my recovery all jacked up? It won't let me scroll down or flash anything. Keeps saying failed to verify whole signature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
I found this difficult also. It seems to be related to the fact that our device really only supports three colors (actually two and we get purple from blending the red and blue). And, it also seems that it does not support blending the colors other than full strength. So, blue and red can each be set to either 0 or 255 giving us Red, Blue, and Purple. If the "sliders" are set to anything else the LED simply does not respond.

So, now with the way the CM9 LED adjustment is this turns out to NOT be the easiest thing to adjust in such a way the our LED actually comes on.

Pick an application that you want the adjustment for.

Set the Flash rate to Always On.

Now adjust what appears to be the Second color. (Once you save the setting by saying OK it will actually change both color boxes with the Always On setting selected.)

I suggest that you start with Blue or Red as they are a little easier. Red seems to be the very bottom of the slider on the right and blue is the very middle of the blue area on that same slider. Than put the little circle in the very top right hand corner of the bigger box on the left...Say OK.

Now you can adjust the speed of the pulse to what you actually want. It seems that the first box is the box is the time the light will be on and the second box is the time the light will be off. (I know it seems strange that they both have the same color but this is the only way I personally got this to work.)

Also, I really wanted to just leave it on Always On at least partly in hopes that this would not use the timer events and thus allow for Deep Sleep and still use the LED. However, it still blinked on my phone even with this set to Always On. It would seem if we could just set the color based on simply Red, Blue, Purple and have the light not blink that it would be best for our phones.
