I know this is pretty much a useless post, but for anyone thinking about flashing beta 1, I'm really picky about having things working reliably and I've been on beta 1 for weeks now with El29 modem and it has been fantastic. Set cpu governor to pegasus as was suggested by others and I'm getting great battery life and everything is working great. Thanks to Chris and the development team, looking forward to next betas/final.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I am in the same boat as you accept for battery life but everything on this rom runs like a dream. I am starting to think my battery could be going but not sure I ordered another one so we shall see. But this rom does make Samsungs stock roms look amateurish.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Everything about this rom makes me happy. Just the messaging. Pic messaging to be exact. Doesn't show. Just gives me a link to download a file from sprintpcs. But it cannot open the file after download. Maybe I have overlooked a fix? Beta 1

I got several mms's today came in in normally, no link to download. Is the person sending them to you on a different carrier, or using a dumb phone? Sometimes I see weird stuff come through from people on old dumb phone plans.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
No galaxy s2 tmobile version. I havent been able to receive any mms from any person on all different networks. I don't have a problem on touchwiz. But I have been on cm9 for a long time and don't care enough about the problem to go back to touchwiz. Just seeing if there was a fix. If no one is really having the problem then it must be something I changed. Thanks

This thread should be linked to from the Blogspot site! I actually had to do some digging to find it.

Anyway, I am on CM9 Nightly 9/24/12. I am wondering how to go about using ROM Manager to download and/or flash Nightlies. When I try to check for update, it asks me to flash a recovery, and has a list of other GSIIs. Which do I pick? Or should I use the CWM Touch? I am on the CWM 6 that is part of the ROM install.

BTW, I am on the FI25 modem and everything seems fantastic. My only other problem if anyone has an idea is that when you call out, the screen goes blank and seems to take forever to wake up. I almost always miss touch tone entries because I can't get the screen to wake up. Are there settings to tweak this?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
First do not ever use rom manager with this phone. If you do let me know how brick city is. For your other issue what kind of case do you have on. Also is your screen protector coming up at the top? I ask because some cases have been known to mess with the proximity sensor. Also if your screen protector is coming up it would miss with it as well. I do not have a problem with my phone not waking up to allow me to push keys. You may want to look into tasker and create a profile to tell the proximity sensor what to do in a call.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
No ROM Manager. Got it. Just figured it would have been removed... or I didn't see any warnings on the E4GT CM Team page not to use it.

I have no screen protector or case, but I think I know what it is. When you dial a number, the screen immediate goes dark. It won't wake up until the sensor sees an obstruction and then is cleared. When I dial numbers I know I have to enter numbers for, I don't put the phone up to my ear right away. I wish the screen didn't go dark until it saw an obstruction.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Although I have bit done it. Check into tasker profiles. Maybe you can set up a profile for it.

CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies?

So I've been keeping up with this forum for a while, and for some reason can't find the link to the CM9 nightlies. I'm coming from Beta 1, on beta 1 my signal grays out occasionally and I lose my data even though the 3G icon is still there. Sometimes, the camera FCs for whatever reason. Also hoping that battery life is better than CM10. I'm hoping the newer nightlies fix that problem. Anyone know where they're at? Thanks!

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if there's a way to have one of the slider lockscreen shortcuts be a "silence phone" short cut? I've dug through all the different activities you can choose from but I can't seem to find one that does this.

Thanks!

FML... FWP

I've been flashing custom ROMs on my E4GT since the day after I got it back in March, tried Darch's alpha's and IRC only test builds of CM9, then ran "official" alpha's and nightlies before and after kernel source was released, and through all that I never had one ounce of GPS problems like everyone else seemed to be having. I decided to give CM10 a try a few weeks ago, and it started out fine, but over the course of a couple of weeks, the phone started getting laggy and GPS started having issues. The weirdest thing about it was how the problems were gradual and not sudden, so I ditched CM10 and decided to try slick_ricks JB AOKP, same thing there as well. It started out OK, but this time it started lagging out and having GPS issues at a much faster rate. Finally decided it was time to come back to good old "stable" CM9. For the most part, everything is much snappier, smoother and more stable than either of the JB ROM's previously mentioned, but the GPS issues still persist. It's not that it doesn't get a lock at all, it'll start out with me 50-100 feet from my actual location, and after some time (30sec to a couple of minutes) it'll finally lock on to my actual location. When using navigation, it'll be tracking just fine, then it'll stop, jump forward to catch up, stop again, then all of a sudden I'll be about fifty feet to my left, stop again, and then catch back up. It may track fine for a while again, and who know a minute later. Being a pizza delivery driver who uses GPS many times a night many nights a week, this is not good. I'll give the temp EL29 thing a try and see if that helps. I find it weird how this didn't seem to happen until I was running CM10, it's most likely a coincidence, but still odd, and very frustrating since I can afford a new phone any time soon.

It'd sure be nice if all E4GT's were gone, and I could just "drop" my phone really hard and just use TEP to get a new phone, like a GSIII or Evo 4G LTE.

Anyway, Just my 2¢.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Switched up from Beta 1 to 10/4 and now that I am on 10/7 I have to say I wonder if those speed fixes are in? Getting speed tests like I was back when this phone first came out. Getting 9 to 10 Mbps down was on FH13 modem i flashed the FI25 for giggles and still getting those speeds. Been a little while as of lately any given time its been around 4 Mbps.

wrt54g wifi issue: long host name the problem?

I had been having trouble connecting to my home wifi after installing the Beta 1 version of CM9. Sometimes, it would see an access point (I have four, all with the same SSID) but fail to connect. I would long press on the SSID on my phone, hit "Connect" and nothing would happen. Then, seemingly randomly, it would connect and stay connected. I tried different modems and none of them seemed to work.

This weekend, my phone crashed -- somehow my data partition got corrupted, no idea how. So I had to wipe and reinstall. I continued to have the issue above, but then noticed my hostname on my phone was quite long: like "android-123jasdkf1o234j". I changed the hostname to a shorter name and, voila, my wifi has been connecting just fine. Not sure if this is a CM9 issue or a modem issue or a router issue. I run DD-WRT on a variety of routers (including a WRT54GL), plus one WRT54GC running the stock OS.

Just thought I'd share. If you're having the same issue, try shortening your hostname and post back if it made a difference.

Running CM9 Beta 1, anyone been noticing the mediaserver bug? Its been killing battery for me lately
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
I have not experienced that. Did you do a clean install?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
change ocompli

Yeah, I always do a clean install when installing/upgrading CM9. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik. Very strange, I thought the mediaserver bug was only on CM10. Suggest I reflash?? o.o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I love cm 9 b1 hands down best rom I have ran on my phone but better life is pretty bad for me. If you solve this and manage to get better battery life let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
Well there is an app out there that will kill the media server. It seems like a decent fix. All I know is that once I killed the server, the percentage that it took up went from like 30% to 16% (after letting it sit for a while). If you need the app, let me know. I have the .apk Second cycle of battery life, got 13/1/2 hours with airplane mode on for 2 hours (due to low signal area). Hoping after a couple cycles it'll get better!

OK. So I am on shabby 10 07 build . Is there anyway to manually turn off back key lights through build prop. When I try to turn them off in settings it still comes back on. Even though it says it off. They don't go off when I enable back lights and set a time limit.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dgfv:
I know this is a really ****ty place to ask this question, because it can search so often:

I had previously flashed alpha 6 on my old sgs2, but I had to get a replacement sgs2 because of a hardware malfunction. That was months ago, and now I can't remember how I did it.

Here's what I can remember -- tell me if it can be done in a simpler way, or if I'm missing or flat out wrong.

1.) Need to flash a different kernel than the one I have now "3.0.15-SPH-D710-FH13-CL663858 se.infra@sep68 #," as well as root the phone.

I think I need to use ODIN for this, but I don't know what kernel to flash. I'll try to find it in the dev section if no one knows.​

2.) Transfer gapps and the rom to the base directory of the internal storage

3.) Get into some kind of recovery mode

Guide says 'safe' recovery, and mentions CWM -- but I don't really know how to get this. I'm guessing it's related to the kernel (?) that I flash with odin.​

4.) Flash the rom, then flash gapps.

5.) That should be it.

Anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Use the el26 kernel packed with cwm5. Use that to flash the rom and gapps . Remember to flash calkulins formatall.zip or format system ans data first inside recovery. Then flash rom then gapps

So when I listen to music on PowerAmp and shut off my phone screen for a while, then go back to check the time or something, it makes a really bad distortion sound for like 2 seconds. Very obvious and annoying. Running CM9 Beta 1, anyone else getting this issue? I know for a fact it isn't PowerAmp, I've been on CM10 and stock ICS and did not get that audio distortion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
It used to do it to me on beta1. One day I just had the urge to completely wipe then reinstall it. Haven't had that problem since. Also I went in to settings>sound and changed the effect. Forget which one. But it was the one not checked by default

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
I wiped the data, uninstalled it, then re-installed it. Still had that distortion. I went into settings>sound as well. I thought it was the "safe headset volume" I unchecked it and tried it again. Still have the problem. Hopefully you can remember which effect you changed in the sound settings haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Lol I remember now. Its an option you can't choose yet. I downloaded the awesome beats modified dsp manager from xda. Its a zip flashable through cwm. You install it then go into music effects in the sound menu. Choose beats mod. Then it worked fine.

I'm having the exact same issue and I've had the same problem on various nightlies but never Beta 1. Though Beta 1 had the issue where the capacitive buttons would turn off and turn back on before turning off for good.

This is really annoying as I don't generally use backlight on my keys at all, and now the backlight doesn't turn off until the screen is off.

I want to say first that I have been using this ROM for 2 months or so and I love it. I love the UI, dialer, options, move to sd in settings, notification customization, and pretty much everything about this rom. I appreciate the 4G Wimax fix too. That helped for tethering on 4G. I originally had some GPS blues but flashed back to EL29 and updated prl and gps locked and it fixed it.

I am not sure if it is Sprint right now or if its something else I did. I flashed the playstation authentication certificates a week ago so I could use playstation mobile. Love it by the way. I love super crate box. But I noticed shortly after that GPS would lose signal constantly when traveling around the city (ATL) and reception comes and goes. Could have been something that happened when I flashed it, could be sprint, or could be that I need to update to Beta 1. I'm on Alpha5. I am still on FF18 as well I don't know if there is any reason to upgrade firmware.

I do however, want to upgrade to Beta 1 regardless. I'm glad that CM9 is getting closer to official and I've heard good things about beta 1. I understand I will have to flash the 4G WiMax fix again but will I need to do a complete wipe and then flash CM9 Beta1 coming from Alpha 6?

Also, will I need to redo the whole g apps thing again? Also, somewhere in the back of my mind I would like to try JB (CM10) on my epic touch 4G because I love it on my TF300T. But I appreciate all the work that has gone into CM9 and how it's constantly improved and worked on so I will continue using CM9 for the time being :)

Thanks. I just got a 32 GB class 10 Samsung card and now I can EASILY do nandroid back ups and titanium back ups so backing up is easier now :). But before it was a pain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
I ran Beta 1 for a while. Its a great build, I definitely recommend it. I noticed that build Still has the data crash (where you see the 3G icon, but your signal bars are gray and you don't get data). Other then that, battery is alright and everything else works!

You can try that or try ShabbyPenguin's 10/11 build. That one is nice as well! Yeah out should definitely do a full wipe and flash GAPPS. Just use TitaniumBackup to back up apps and such.

As for CM10. Its definitely doing better than it was. If you want to try that, flash Chris41g's RoundNRound build. Very stable. Only things not working are USB tether and Bluetooth. Just bad battery life like all the rest of the CM10 builds. They'll definitely improve over time though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxvsmith:
Okay. I have that sometimes on alpha 6 but as long as I know it's to be expected. Improved battery would help too. I have an extended battery but can never get enough battery improvement :)

As I thought. I backed up my apps easily so I will do a full wipe and do the whole gapps thing.

Bluetooth might be a deal breaker for CM10. I use bluetooth more with tablet but I use my bluetooth headset with my phone often. I might just wait for CM10 to go to at least beta. I'm sure it will happen soon.

One more question. I followed QBKing's videos and was able to get a CWM recovery that is safe to use for FF18. I think even after wiping, dalvik cache, and everything the recovery should still be there. That happened on my old TF101 when I had it. But just to make sure, they still have the safe recovery from alpha 6 right?

Thank you so much for answering my questions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
I really hope to see CM10 go to beta soon. Once the battery drain, Bluetooth, and other things are fixed, Beta 1 will be right around the corner!

Once you flash CM9, the recovery you used while on FF18 to flash CM9 will be replaced with CWM6. That's a safe recovery. I've flashed between CM9 and CM10 without any problems. Just wiped data/cache/dalvik whenever switching. So if you're upgrading from Alpha 6 to the newer versions of CM, the recovery will Still be the same. Safe!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
Just wondering if work on this ROM has stopped with the developers (chris41g) now shifting their focus towards CM10? I see nightlies are still being put out, but Chris is no longer putting out experimental builds, as his last one is dated October 1st. Or is there work being done, but instead of doing experimentals everything is being put into the nightlies?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxvsmith:
I would love to have CM10 as well. I am sticking with CM9 right now since it's more stable, in beta, and lots of work and hours have probably been put into it. Even if it doesn't reach official status.

One thing that's bugging me right now though is google sync seems to be completely off. I have to refresh the sync for new emails to appear or sometimes I will get a ghost email notification but it doesn't show in notification bar.

I'm thinking the reason for this is because when I restored from titanium I restored everything. Settings, system settings, and all that stuff. In the past I usually just restore the apps since I know restoring some system settings can mess with it.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hammester:
That would be my guess as well, it is a very bad idea to restore system data and it usually leads to a bunch of problems. I would do a clean install and all use TB to restore the apps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocket321:
Summery level initial install directions at the top seem much more clear and have nothing crossed out. You will need a safe cwm installed in order to flash, you can use the el29 direct boot one linked on the instructions, flash from mobile Odin is simplest option, then proceed to flash cm9 and gaaps.

Flash EL26+CWM kernel

You need to flash the el26+cwm kernel that chris41g developed, using Odin through the PDA slot.

Make sure you have cm9_ROM_beta1.zip on your internal drive before you flash the kernel through, or you will have to fully revert back to stock via odin.
