That happened to me too when I tried using inverted contacts. If that is what you are doing reflash the Rom over it. Should fix the problem- it did for me.

You don't need to wipe data. Couldn't hurt to wipe cache and dalvik though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
Thanks, that was the issue, can u link to a different inverted contact apk that does not cause the issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pwee08:
I can't post in the development thread yet but would like to share what happen. I'm current on cm9 aplha 6 nightlie 7/4/12. My phone completely died so I plug it into the charger. The phone started to charge and everything was well I left for 10 minutes come back to check my phone it didn't charge it was stuck on two percent then it started to go nuts with the pop up message saying it was shutting down but the message would just go on and off over I'd say 20 times. I honestly thought my phone was going to explode. I just wipe cache and delvik and its all good now but never had this problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
i think he's referring to ICS kernel source that was released by samsung.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Well that person just said latest nighly which has been complied from source like chris41g said. The source built kernel is being worked on though from what ive seen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
i think we know what he means though. most anyone who asks about cm9 being built from source anymore is most likely talking about the ICS kernel source required to escalate cm9 into "officially supported" status.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
I think for the most part, alot of people in general are confused about source and what it allows lol. But yea source kernel is slowly being worked on and making progress from what I read
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
no doubt about that lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Hey guys, I've been running CM9 for a while now and have been experiencing some weird behavior on my phone.

While using the browser, xda app, FaceBook and just basically using my phone...it'll be fine for about 15min, then the screen will start flickering and the phone shuts down...completely.

Have to reboot phone then the battery is almost dead.

Tried different modems and no help.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
now that kernel source is out, do you think the devs can make it that the led notification wont cause wake locks, or can that never be fixed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Question, may be a stupid one.

Was source for prior kernel's not released? Or is there another reason this phone didn't get CM7 support?

It seems CM9 development is coming along nicely and everyone is excited about source..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rrmzr1:
I was just having that issue. The only way I fixed it was with a new battery. I took the phone to sprint and they replaced the battery when they tested it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
Try "equalizer" in the play store, it has pretty good sound enhancements.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Thank you for responding to my issue. I'm taking a drive to sprint now and get the battery tested.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
2 quick questions about the sound:

The default alarm tones are nice, but they're quite low (even with all the options at the max in the volume expanded menu). Is there any way to put your own tones for an alarm and if so, what folder are they located in? I couldn't find it when USB connected, do I need to do it via a file explorer like ES File Explorer?

Is there a way to disable the sound for the camera? For a moment while running the ICS camera, I thought I was using Instagram. (Also, a bit OT, but is there an alternative to the ICS camera in CM9? I find that its shutter is slow compared to one like Caulkin's for example.)

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
I use the alarms found on Bubby's CM7. You can find the Rom on rootzwiki. Just go into the zip to system/media/audio/alarm.

Copy to the same directory of CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
First, Notification should be located in Media/Audio/Notifications so you do not need root access. You can find "Audio Booster" in the play store for a power booster app.

Second, you can find an alternative Camera.apk and push it to System/Apps. There should be a setting to disable the shutter sound w/in the camera settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
Any recommendations in mind? I've never had to/wanted to replace the camera until this one. Searching for various threads about cameras, do I need a specific one for CM9 or will any camera.apk do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dudeman1st:
Correct me if I am wrong, but AFAIK, all notifications cause partial wakelock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luisrodg:
Yeah could anyone explain this?

Why didnt e4gt get CM7?

What does this source release a couple days ago give the programmers that they didn't have before?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
Is there any way to increase the shutter speed with the CM9 camera apk? Or is there any modded apks with faster shutter speeds? Seems like there is quite a delay between hitting the blue button, and when the picture actually takes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kdelinux:
I'm on cm9 alpha6 . I have seen that when my battery goes down to 4% and the turn 3 it will shut the phone off. When I plug in and boot up. Phone in CM9 states it at 0% and will juice up to 100.

A: is this normal (as designed in the ROM)

B: has any one else seen this.

C: do I/ should I fix this? D: and how

Thank you for your time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
For every Rom I've used on the e4gt, the battery indicator gets weird one in a while.

Upon reboot an indicator that may have said 70 will now say 40 for example. This is a common problem to our device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Long story bro and no one probably wants to go down that path again....:D

google bubby xda or epic touch

Edit: For anyone having wifi scanning draining issues or just want to try and squeeze some more juice out of this sucker may I recommend LLama its a hell of an app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
There is an unofficial CM7 at rootzwiki.

I was using it as a daily driver for the longest time. I think the only thing that doesn't work is 4g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kdelinux:
So you don't know. Is what Im reading
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
the answer is simply that, by the time we got GB source, CM7 was already final and not taking any more official devices, and started working on CM9.. we started working towards that.. no reason to keep working towards CM7, when it couldn't get us official status. I hope that helps clarify it a little for you. There are some side stories including drama and other lame ****, but they are really not relevant to your question.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Hopefully whatever drama happened doesn't hurt our chances of getting official support for cm9/cm10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bkind:
Hey I've read the last 10 or so pages, I remember seeing that I can flash the nightlies right over a6. Is this the case? Thanks guys for the answer :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KC_RUFFIAN137:
Does anyone have a copy of alpha 5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
try the link in the OP?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Exit_Only:
Ouch..Corrupt data partition. Welcome to how I bricked my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swaarley:
I started flashing nightlies yesterday over a6 and haven't had any problems. Bluetooth/gps/wifi all work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pandamaja:
You can disable sounds for the camera by renaming the 'camera_click.ogg' and 'camera_focus.ogg' files (I just add .bk to the extension) /system/media/audio/ui/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tamathdb:
I just want to be 100% sure that i can use the recovery to flash nightly 7.16 from 7.8 now, without flashing el29 direct boot. I won't f*ck sh*t up will i?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
Yes, you can flash through CWM from 7/8 nightly to 7/16 nightly without first flashing EL29 directboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tamathdb:
Thanks. Last thing i need is an angry wife! :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dgr581:
That goes for all of us I assume
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tamathdb:
Another question, and I'm sorry for asking but i have a kid due in a couple days and won't have the time to do these things so i don't want to spend tons of time searching.

Has anybody have tips for getting 4g to work? I'm not far away from St Louis so i should be able to connect, but when i go in the 4g settings and try it scans/disconnects/scans/perm disconnect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
My 4G works with the latest nightly, FF11 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tamathdb:
Hm. I'm on 7.16 with the FF11 modem. Think there is a difference between 7.16 & 7.17 regarding 4g wimax?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesissocool:
Is there any chance of seeing TWRP 2.2 recovery in the nightlys in the near future? The reason I ask is that I saw a E4GT CM9 version in their goo. I find the ability to multiflash the nightlies and gapps as a true time saver as long as its stable. And with TWRP 2.2, we can name our backups since their is a keyboard in the recovery now.

Now, all one could hope for beyond that is if they could enable wifi in the recovery to send/pull the backups from a cloud service so we aren't eating up space on our phones.

What does everyone else think?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Not on any official nightlies. CM strictly uses CWM recovery so yea. You could always just flash that kernel right after each latest nightly flash, simple as that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesissocool:
Well, I hope they reconsider. The kernel on teamwin's goo is an img file which means I have to load it from my computer which is a no go since I travel.

I run CM9 nightlies on my Touchpad (which does not compile the kernel and ROM together). With Goomanager, I get a notification that there is a new nightly, I prompt it to download and I can set up and order a multi-zip flash, wipe, and backup with a touch of a button. TWRP takes over from there executes the script and reboots the system. It's way too easy especially if you have add-ons. What CWM takes me 15-20 minutes to do, I can set it up through goomanager and TWRP and go grab a cold beer and flip some channels after a minute of setup. Call me lazy, but it is a huge time saver if you are flashing nightlies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
+1 for twrp, makes life easier for installing zips
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I understand the want for TWRP. It ie a great recovery. But in order for us to be able to get our updates directly from CM It will have to remain CWM. It would definitely be nice to have a kernel that had TWRP recovery that one could flash as an alternative.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I know this isn't anything that can be done by our devs. But I think the CM team should build in a scheduler toggle under performance. That way you could configure both governor and scheduler without having to use an app to do it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pwee08:
I'm on nightly 7/12 and just seconds ago my SD card just stop working and won't mount at all is this due towards the from because a 10minutes ago it was perfectly fine.

**rom. I also keep getting on my notifications bar that its safe to remove my SD card.

7/12 shabbypenguin nightly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pwee08:
Can anyone help me?? Is it possible that my SD just blew itself up i have no clue what happen...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Try rebooting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pwee08:
i rebooted the phone, updated my nightly, wiped cache, and wipe delvik and still not being read. I got my girlfriend SD card put it in and it was able to go into the SD card with root explorer but with mine it shows that its not even plugged in..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oddlou:
It's very likely that you just have a bad sd card. It happens. Try reading it on your computer...my guess is that it won't show up there either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pwee08:
Nope it doesn't come up on the computer ether. But i don't understand how it would be a bad SD card when it literally just went from working to Boom completely gone.. I put it on my girlfriend phone it reads that the card is there and says if i want to format the card but on my E4GT wont even mount on the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
That's an sd card for you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pwee08:
So nothing to do with the rom and I practally just lost all my ish on my SD card then? Um what's the best class SD card I should get since mine took a poop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
so looks like goo.im is down, can anyone verify?

I need to download one of the nightlies so I can boot my phone back up, I tried using temporary EL29 and I forgot I deleted the CM9 ROM off my phone, all I have is Chris' kernel

edit: nvm looks like it's working now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pwee08:
Have anyone let their phone completely die up to 2% then connect to the charger? Because when I do this my phone starts notifying me that I have no battery over a billion times then shuts off and this is connected to the charger..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Yes, I have let my phone go that low, no I have never even heard of that issue before. When i can afford to, I let it die completely and charge back up. I never see that issue. Maybe you have a bad battery?

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

Class 12 is the best, but imho it's 6 and one half dozen or the other. We're not dealing with DSLR Cameras where the write speed is a must have, we're dealing with smartphones. I think dropping too much much money on anything higher than class 6 is nothing but novelty for what we use them for.

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 PM ----------

Flash a modem with Odin or with chirs41g's new kernel packed with CWM6. Use the FF18 Modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockypr:
Thanks guys for the hard work you are putting to get the official CM9 Status, great news
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pwee08:


I doubt my battery is bad when I just purchase this phone about a month ago.

I'll update my kernel since I dont think it was included in any of the latest nightlys or in alpha 6.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
I haven't seen anyone else post about this, but using Chris41g's new kernel and undervolting with Tegrak Ultimate causes the phone not to go into deep sleep according to CPU Spy. The lowest it goes is 200MHz, not sure if the kernel is the problem or the app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Had this issue on touchwiz ttoo. Toggling the notification light option seems to have fixed it. Maybe try that. May not do anything but worth a shot.

Need Help? Hit me up on GTalk: scarmon27@gmail.com or in our IRC: irc.flux.cd #TeamRejectz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
The kernel does not natively support undervolting, so problems may arise from using an app to force undervolting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
I had an issue like that while testing one of the earlier kernels. I normally have WiFi and 4G on at the same time while at work. When I leave WiFi, it goes to 4G and vice versa. The 4G was in an unknown/broken state. I turned it off and back on, then my phone would go into Deep Sleep just fine. Maybe something like that is affecting you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolverinesfan35:
On the newest nightlie and newest kernel from chris41g. Have not had any problems another than the known GPS. But I don't really ever use it. Everything else works great. And great battery life! I don't know how I got so lucky to not have any issues but thanks for all the hard work and hours put in working on this. Just thought I would share.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
I tried cm9 7-17 with chris's latest rom and wifi wont turn on.. can't figure what im doin wrong... that and GPS which i need:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Is 3g/4g tethering working on this ROM? USB and Wi-Fi tethering are both mission critical for me. Any other pro tips from people on running this? I've been on Calk's 3.0 for some time and want to give CM9 a spin.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
That's an ugly theme I'm my opinion lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
4g tethering is having issues on chris41g's latest kernel. FF18 repack is fine iirc. 3g is fine on both. Chris is working on another kernel, so maybe it'll be fixed?

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

How "latest" are we talking? Read post two on the dev thread, I am maintaining a list of working kernels there.

Edit for clarification: I mean Chris's AOSP source kernel thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
check his name :p I think that's why he likes that theme :D my opinion though...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolverinesfan35:
I have heard of a few other people having wifi problems also. Not sure why because I usually don't even wipe anything then I flash the new nightly or kernel. I am pretty new to this rom been on cm9 for about a month. Someone prolly has figured out how to fix it if you look thru the cm9 rom posts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrlandshark62:
So, I've been running Alpha 6 since it came out, no problems to speak of, until my latest blunder.

I tried to compile my own CM9 theme using the template. However, I must have messed up somewhere. Upon applying the theme, the phone rebooted and now is stuck in a bootloop. I am unable to revert back to the stock theme as the phone will not boot. I have tried wiping cache and Dalvik to no avail. I can't delete the apk file through recovery either, as CWM6 has no file browser option. I'd prefer to not have to start fresh, unless it is the only possible solution. Any suggestions as to how I can fix my problem without having to start again? Thanks all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
No it would do it even with data off completely. I removed all the tegrak settings and it went to sleep successfully again. I'll just wait until Chris41g does a bit more work on the kernel before trying again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Two options without starting fresh. Flash Chris41g's TWRP source kernel for the file manager (wifi doesn't work, but you're only going to use it for the recovery), or remove it with ADB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrlandshark62:
Thanks, you're the best man! :victory:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
I take it that you got it fixed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrlandshark62:
Yup, sure did!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
What's the known GPS issue I see people posting about? The change logs say GPS was sorted out by alpha 3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wiskid15:
Where do you download the nightlys from? Facebook no longer loads the feed, it just says connection lost. Hoping a nightly fixes it..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
He's gonna be on your wedding? Awesome!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
There is an issue where GPS doesn't fix. The way to fix it is to boot into temporary stock EL29 and get a fix, then boot back into cm9. If you get a fix, then it doesn't affect you. :D

get your nightlies from goo.im/devs/ShabbyPenguin

No new nightlies since 7/17. Shabby broke the internet, he should be back tomorrow.

Well CM9 solved my bluetooth media audio issues in both my cars, that I had on every leaked ICS Samsung build through release. Thank you Cyanogenmod team and the hard working devs that brought it to our phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sockey:
Does anyone know if the new 7-21 nightly includes the 41g-RC2_5-0718 kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolverinesfan35:
No the new nightly doesn't have chris41g's kernel. You will have to reflash it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
chris41g's kernel might not be included in the next couple of nightlies as he works some things out. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I have no luck with any custom ROM horrible battery life no matter kernel modem tweaks combination. Only have good battery on Stock DAMN. And add the constant 3G disconnection. (Airplane mode toggle helps but its annoying)

Look at this:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolverinesfan35:
7/21 nightlie running really good so far. Running 7/21 nightlie with Chris's 41g 2.5 kernel. Seems to be running a lot smoother and faster than 7/17 nightlie
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
I can't get dsp manager to install....I'm on 7-17 running the chris41g kernel. Any help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
That picture doesn't really say much. The percentages are all relative and doesn't say what's really happening with the phone. Get Better Battery Stats :). The custom roms will start getting better battery life now that source has been dropped, just give the devs time to modify the kernel. After all, a linux kernel has over 11.7 million lines of code!

---------- Post added at 02:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

DSP Manager should already be installed on the ROM upon flash. Try installing the 7/21 nightly and see if it doesn't install itself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
That done did it, thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Better Battery Stats downloaded installed and monitoring. Now let's wait to see what comes up. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
What's the difference between CM9 7/21 from shabby and CM9 7/21 from chris? Source?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
There should be no difference, save for the packaged kernel. And the kernel that Chris packed with that release was a borked test with no wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Confirmed about borked kernel. Works fine with 2.5 kernel though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuber268:
Is the 2_5 kernel safe for flashing?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I did not notice about the borked kernel or wifi issues since I always flash 2.5 kernel hehe working very well (touch wood)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pwee08:
I was wondering if anyone been having this issue. It has been occurring since alpha 5 update for me.. I put my phone in vibrate but the phone never vibrates when I get a phone call or a text message no its not because its to softp it just doesn't vibrate was wondering if there is a fix to this???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
Maybe because you have to check vibrate always messaging settings and sound settings? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
In case you haven't seen it yet, chris41g put out new stable kernels today. Check the thread for more info.
