Sorry that was fasterGPS, it's on the Market. It allows you to set to proper GPS download pools for faster GPS fixes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
For map; Try a perm fix?

For GPS, I never have GPS issues so I've never tries using this as a fix but.. maybe I don't have GPS issues because of it.... If you can get to "WiMAX Mode" menu somehow, you can see if "SDIO Mode" helps. The reason I say a WiMAX setting may help is SDIO (or Secure Digital Input/Output) was a GPS feature by design and provides better locking abilities for devices. That's why it doubles 4g speeds.

Whats the meaning of this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
This was odd - I made a backup of this ROM yesterday in CWM, tried to flash some theme to it that didnt work, so I went back to restire my nand in CWM. After restoring everything and rebooting I found out that I had lost root for some reason. Not sure why it it would happen just due to restoring a nand as that has never happened on any other ROMs before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
can you elaborate on how exactly you get these increased 4g speeds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:

Anything I can do about the horrible 3G data speed on this ROM?

Before I flashed this I was on FE16 stock ROM with FE16 modem and updated profile and PRL. I've tried FE10 modem and it's no better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LilRico:
Where is this option?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
One reason is to flash el26 to go to CWM, make a nandroid backup and flash kernel to reboot.

Or to go to a different ROM and then revert back to the nandroid backup. Then once again you will need you flash the kernel to boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:

I was having these issues on alpha 3. Last night I did a full wipe and installed alpha 4, and I continue to have problems. Different modems don't help either. It seems 80% of the time I handoff between towers, data gets stuck and never comes back until I notice and manually toggle airplane mode. This is really getting to be a problem for me. :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pclev99:
I am new to the cm9

Ok i will probably get flamed or some thing for this but I want to know and i am going to ask. I KNOW that this is a stock recovery and I know they kept it that way due to phone bricks so my question is the recovery is it unlocked so you can flash like themes modems ETC or do I have to flash what I want before I reboot and hope for the best. I tried cm9 alpha 3 and really really liked it but needed to ablity to change modems and couldn't once the rom was flashed I know you can odin a new modem with out problems but in my case not always at my computer and I dont have mobile odin nor do I really want to have to do it that way. Also woundering if one of the repacked kernels will work or not I am currently under the impression that you need a aosp kernel with CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
You have to flash el26 kernel with CWM recovery. Then flash away. My previous post has the fe16 kernel link you will need to flash to reboot CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nightwing713:
red exclamation mark when updating?

I couldn't find anything on the thread... But is anyone else having a problem updating from alpha3 to alpha4? I followed the directions, booted into recovery, updated through CWM, but partway the update stops and instead there's an android on its back with a Red Triangle and black exclamation point above it. I can reboot from there ok and get the phone running back on a3 so I'm guessing nothing was overwritten at that point. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Did you Odin EL26 CWM before trying to flash a4?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kasper19:
you're still using the stock recovery [I did the same thing]. The instructions arent specific, but you still need to odin back to the EL26 kernel with CWM to do the upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Just a thought,

Maybe your update is corrupted. You could try redownloading and reflashing it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffrey567:
It says to be on a GB based from before flashing and I have no problems with data or gps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azr6:
Is there a features list for this anywhere? I couldn't find it on the site except for the updates. Looking for a complete list of things this rom offers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Well I am sure Cyanogen Mod 9 has a list of features on their website or something. But Alpha 4 in general seems to have enabled nearly everything so far?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azr6:
I couldn't find anything but I'll keep searching. What is the best method to install this from ICS. Just install any GB rom and then follow the CM( install directions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
I am having the same problem. I have tried multiple downloads with the same result. I guess that is what I get while trying to flash an update while at work. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Not very inclusive but - http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about/features Pretty much doesnt tell you jack ha. Mainly things unique to to CM i guess.

I mean its CyanogenMod 9, what else is there to say. Its AOSP, custom built in launcher, themes, custom toggles, lock screen, plenty of features here and there. Its like owning a Nexus only much better, much more customizable experience without flashing anything extra. Takes up less space and usually performs better.

Part of the dream of course is going from one device to the next on the same CM version and getting the same experience. Something you cant do with a stock mod rom very well.

Yeah just use cwm recovery, EL26 kernel with stock cwm is the tried and true method. I flash the stock leaks on the EL29 rogue but never tried CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Swayyy:
Anyone that has flashed CM9 from the EL29 Rogue CWM?? Is there any risk in doing so? Please let me know! Also, if you want to remove CM9, is it as simple as just ODIN back to EL29??

all of my sound work except text i go to settings set it up then get a text but it only vibrates anyone have a clue

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

i use el26 all the time

wipe data

wipe cache/dalvik cache

flash rom twice so it will stick

then gapps

u should have no problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jbrawley1:
u should use cwm on OP EL26 recovery for no risk.. and if you dont want CM9 back up your current rom B4 flashing and just restore that to get back to what you had. or flash something else that you want to try
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rabscutle:
I didn't see this anywhere, so I'd figure I'd ask... is the DSP Sound Manager still non-functional as part of the rom?

If it isn't, mine isn't working LOL

Under sounds I have Vibrate and Ring checked and in messaging, Notifations are on and i have sound..... is volume up all the way ?? lol haha ;)

Also, go to sounds -> volumes and see if everything looks normal there.. either link ringtone with notification volume or set notification volume up

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dgr581:
All in all, alpha4 is trucking along great for me. For those who are having problems with gps lock, I use waze in there play market. It locks when google maps doesn't a fair majority of the time. And once it locks, google maps is good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
I use Volume+. Works great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Updated from A3 to A4 last night, with no issues. Everything works and even running a theme via Theme Engine that's build in.

Users with problems...are you guys trying to download Alpha4 straight from the phone?

If the OP states to use EL26 cwm, please use what the op tells you.

Read the installation guide and the cm9 status page... lots of good info.

Aren't we suppose to wipe data,cache and dalvik prior to flashing any rom?

It should be fine.

Are you on Alpha 4? I did not see this on Alpha 4 but have seen it on past test builds.

You might need to download the EL26 from a computer.

You should be able to use mobile but I am not 100% sure.

I am currently uploading the pkgs from AoKPm5 & BlendICS FD05

They should both work for you but I'm hoping at least one will work for you on CM9.. I am not currently on CM9 so I haven't tested to see if these apps will work on cyanogenmod, but as long as you push them to system/app, and adjust the permissions, if they are compatible, that's all you should need to do..

I downloaded CM9a4 and ran a test yesterday, but I tried to flash the tabUI mod and ended up hosing the keyboard, so I scrapped that attempt and ended up running a test on stock/rooted FE16.. I like AoKPs snappier UI so I restored my backup pretty quickly.. ;)

For some reason the upload is slow, so I thought I'd let you know that they are on their way.. ;)

According to the changelog EMMC was supposed to be the INTERNAL sd card and SDCard is supposed to be the External SD card. However, after I flashed alpha 4 it was the opposite (emmc is external and sdcard is internal storage)
