Yeah I noticed that myself. One odd thing is that 4G native wireless tethering does not work whatsoever (I know it never does for most people but I push the wimax_service.jar from the og epic to system/framework and it works beautifully!). However third party 4G wireless tethering does work. I doubt this will get straightened out because for some reason our CM9 devs decided to disable this feature to comply with sprints rules or something... It's odd because all cm variants I've tried on other sprint phones do not have that issue. I know my request is probably in the minority, but I generally dislike having to install third party apps to take advantage of something that is built into native android (hence my aversion to touchwiz). I can deal if I have to though :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Am i the only one still getting the grey bars in bad service area? I noticed a couple of times if i toggle airplane mode, when the service comes back, it goes to roaming, so maybe there is some issue with the roaming switch.

EDIT: Sitting at work where i never have great service. Just loaded 8/6 nightly, and for the first time ever i am seeing roaming at work, and it is switching back and forth between 3g and roaming. Maybe the grey bars will be fixed with this build.

Running smartassv2. Is there a better governor for battery life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spaz mk will:
I believe most people are using pegasusq and the sio scheduler. To change the scheduler you need an app like No frills cpu control. There are other apps, I just can't remember them.

CM9 8/03 nightly w/chris41g RC12 kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toonlinkmaster25:
I think it's set to sio by default.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
It is. If you're running cm or a ROM that has built in CPU controls just set the governor to pegasusq and you're good to go

By default on RC2.5, Chris' kernel is set to On Demand governor and CFQ scheduler.

You can use an app like ROM Toolbox to adjust the governor and scheduler.

Anyone else having trouble creating a backup with RC12-CWR?

I just tried to backup and each time would crash and reboot before it was finished.. I've never seen this before and curious if anyone else has had this happen to them..

I just tried to do a new backup with RC10, it didn't stop and said the backup completed, however the blobs folder was only 750mb instead of the size for CM9 backup that I expected, so I tried to delete it and start over, well, the blob folder didn't delete (like it had in the past when replacing backups) so I looked what was in the folder and there was 6 files with foreign characters for the file name. (I'm assuming that there was remnants from the RC13 backup still left) They would not delete, either trying from phone or PC.. but after I put the card back into the phone, I was able to delete the rest of the blob folder..

Reason I delete the folder when I'm trying to replace the backup for newer one, it seems that the folder doubles in size.. which leads me to believe that the blobs don't get reused for each backup which I was under the impression that they did..

Anyhoo, if you guys still need logcats for the reboot during backup on RC13, just lemme know what specific command for whichever log, and when to pull the log needed..

Directly from Koush's mouth regarding the blobs folder ...

Should explain your observations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
I know not to delete blobs for backups you need, (been testing CWR6 since it was out) but I'm deleting blobs for backups I do not need (just starting new for that backup).. I think when recovery was "freeing space" it too was not able to delete unused blobs, therefore I think the backup I tried to make with RC10 after I had tried to make a backup with RC13, even though the backup completed, had some sort of corruption

Thanks for your response however :)

Does anybody notice their back light for the soft keys broken in rc 12 and 13?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkendes:
I had a strange experience with RC12 that I thought I'd add here in case it hasn't been addressed yet.

I had made a backup with RC10 - nightly 7/22, if it matters.

Then I flashed nightly 8/6 and RC12. I was getting terrible battery drain so I tried to restore my backup using RC12 and when it was done, it rebooted itself and it acted as though my phone had been through a factory reset.

It asked me for my google login info, none of my apps were there, sent me through the first-boot tutorials, etc. I went back into RC10 and tried to restore the same exact backup, and that time everything worked fine. All my data was back.

I tried this again with a different nightly later on and the same exact thing happened, so I'm thinking it was definitely RC12.

I haven't tested RC13 yet. If I have some time tomorrow maybe I'll mess around with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Mine works fine on clean install of 8/7 and of 8/7 with RC13 just incase the nightly is behind one or something.

However mounts have swapped up a bit. Titanium Backup, Super Backup, Goo Manager all saving to sd card and trying to load from sd card on rc13, 8/7 nightly.

So far no 4G reboots but it doesnt stay in 4g long enough. Screen of it switched back to 3g right away it seems or just after screen turn on. Goes unknown stays out even on notification toggle. Have to go in 4g menu to get it back. So far other than mounts and 4g it seems decent.

That's how it's supposed to be, and should have been from the begining.. those apps all save to whats known in android as EXTERNAL_STORAGE, which for some reason was set to /emmc previously.. which caused all apps moved to sd not to be backed up by cwr or twrp. any app that is hard coded to use EXTERNAL_STORAGE will now use /sdcard. but most apps default to EXTERNAL_STORAGE, and will still let you configure the path.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:

Just an fyi since we are on cwm 6 Don't delete /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs

this will render all your backups being unusable.

More info here posted by Koush

New ClockworkMod Backup Format

TL;DR:

ClockworkMod Recovery now deduplicates files between builds. This results in way smaller backups.

Don't delete /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs

Overview

I've gotten a few questions about how this works, so I figured I'd make a post on it.

Basically, here's what happens:

The files being backed up are hashed (sha256, not that it matters). Then it checks for a file with the name of the hash in

/sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs

So, if the hash of the file was c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed, it looks for /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs/c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed

If the hash file is found, it continues on to the next file. Otherwise, it copies the file to the blobs directory with the file name being the hash.

ROMs and user data, for the most part, do not change too much between builds and backups. So, your APKs, system files, etc, are generally only stored once. This saves a ton of space. Especially between incremental backups.

Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".

First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.

Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] allroy1975:
Sorry, I guess I should keep saying aokp F13th. I'm not trying with a touch recovery. :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrDowntown12:
Yes rebooted, did nothing. Meant to check MD5 but rushed and hit skip accidentally. After wiping cache and dalvik using this new recovery and flashing the flashable version, my wifi looks like it wants to turn on. but then switches right off immediately.

Will probably reflash AOKP, boot, wipe caches, flash new kernel, and then report back.

As per my PM Control 8 introduced some issues for me initially:

Control 8 out of the box worked okay. At some point it dropped to 3G, reboot is stayed on 3G. 4G was on disconnected unchecked it, checked it. It scanned and stayed on disconnected.

Toggled on the notification menu. Scanning, Connecting, Obtaining IP, connected to sprint. 4G with gray bars. Tried browser. It dropped data just gray bars went 3g with gray bars. Loading a page it went blue on 3g.

I did get 4G to connect eventually. On reboots now im connecting to 4G while it could be a fluke earlier, it seems different than previous tests. Usually the phone went straight to 4G now it phases through, voice only, 3G, then 4G.

4AM Edit - Going pretty good. Either it was a fluke or this version may show trouble for those in lower signal areas but its generally acceptable so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
With the last 2 TWRP kernels (12 and 13): when I turn my phone off to charge it automatically reboots back to CM9 after a few minutes (maybe when finished charging). Is this normal? Can this be stopped?

Using Chris's 8/3 test build and modem fg30.

UPDATE: it just rebooted while making a nandroid backup in TWRP off charger (battery=85%)!

UPDATE 2: I turned phone off at 65% battery. It automatically turned back on at 74%.
