Thanks for your help. I actually think I have an option for at least backing my apps up, and then I will just do a fresh install.

For some reason, if I uncheck "use internal storage," then reboot, then go in settings and check "use internal storage," my apps show up again. If I reboot again, though, even though I left "use internal storage" checked, the apps disappear again.

I am really glad they spent time on the storage aspect though. The storage being constantly flipped between internal sd and microsd was frustrating :)

Thanks team epic/chris!

Does this affect Google Maps, more specific I suppose Navigation? Like for instance the direction it thinks your heading is the opposite? Or am I taking "compass" a different way?

Alpha 6 to Beta1

I currently have Alpha 6 on my phone. Do I need to do anything except wipe the caches before flashing to Beta 1? I am very new at these processes, any help is greatly appreciated. And how do I verify the MD5SUM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
I'd recommend wiping everything when flashing Beta 1. If you want to keep some app data, just run Titanium backup first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zx3junglist:
You really should wipe data as well. Also, since you say you're new, you should really read this entire page, and follow the process closely:

http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html

(from the OP!!!)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
It does not affect car navigation. It does affect walking navigation. In maps compass mode north is always south for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CB503:
Yep, I followed those instructions when I installed Alpha6. Do I need to delete Alpha6 of wipe everything off my phone first? That is the part that confuses me, plus the note that says check the MD5SUM over at e4gtcm blog spot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol on pa 2.1 with none of those issues.. i still dont know what is better in the beta except closer to official cm status

Can I flash this from fh13 rooted with a agat 2.1 recovery or should I revert back to el29?

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Right now I'm on times infinity aosp rooted rom. I assume I shouldn't flash after wiping from this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
First word ... awesome!

More words ...

@ chris41g - I want to throw out a personal thank you for your continued work on this ROM and your push to Beta status and hopeful (psssh likely) merge into the official CM9 stream. I know you know this, but without your work this likely would not have been possible.

@ Team Epic - Thanks to all of you who sorted out Samsung's mess of a source code and are working on this project. It's really exciting to think the Epic 4G Touch may make it's way onto a custom AOSP ROM official support list. Even though CM9 is basically done and work has shifted to CM10, this is still exciting .. for me anyways.

Big kudos to all involved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CB503:
Internal Storage

I lost all my picture and music when I flashed from Alpha6 to Beta1, no big deal I backed them all up. But when I try to take a picture it says to "insert an SD card before using the camera", although I have selected System Settings> Storage> Storage Configuration > Use internal storage.

Any idea how I can fix this? I have never used a SD card in my phone before, always used the internal storage.

Edit: actually the music and pictures are all there when I use the ES File manager. But for some reason they will not show in my gallery or music players. Idea's?

Thanks,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Just curious. Is the quick messaging pop up that just arrived on the CM10 nightlies also available on CM9?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] liquefiedvapor:
I'm thinking about doin this either tomorrow or Sunday but I had a noob question. Following the directions listed on the CM09 install guide it makes it sounds like all I would need is the gapps and the CM09 beta files on my phone (coming from stock). But in the complete install directions it talks about booting into ClockworkMod recovery. So does that mean I need to install that first before I do anything else?

Just want some clarification since the complete install directions doesn't explicitly spell it out for us noobs. :)

Thanks in advance for your time.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
No, CM main decided to freeze CM9, no new modules are being added.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thenimboo:
Thank you so much, that explains it very well. Ok, so for me right now, I have just wiped everything and re-flashed Beta 1. Everything seems to be working perfectly right now.

For me though, right now

internal @ external_sd

external @ sdcard

I do have "use internal storage" checked though.

Is this setting needed? All I want is for nothing on Android to touch my microsd, I want to choose what to put on there (movies, photos, etc). I don't even want App2sd to move things onto my microsd, I want zero app data to ever reach the microsd. So I should leave it this way?

The only frustration with leaving this checked, I guess, is that when you go to Titanium, for example, syncing titanium settings to sd seems to sync the settings to the internal sd...which is pointless, right? As you are supposed to wipe internal when you update to different new roms?

Also, if I tell Titanium to restore backups to "External Media" what does that mean to titanium? microsd, or internal?

Thanks again for your help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
If you're coming from complete stock without root capabilities, you'll first need to use one of the ODIN installers for a modded stock ROM that has kernel repacked with CWM. It would be wise to use the safest known version ( Gingerbread EL29) because I'm not so sure That any of the ICS-based CWM-repacked stock kernels are safe to flash from yet, as the new/safe ICS-based SMDK kernel is pretty new.

This ROM is by far the best looking and most feature filled on this phone but after the beta release things have just gotten worse. Had to go back to gingerbread. Can't wait for more stability
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
after the beta? or the beta itself? I ask because the only thing *after* the beta are more nightlies and experimentals which may not be very stable... stick with beta1. its perfectly stable for most.

Just downloaded the beta 1 and going to see how it goes... coming from calks 3.0

My name is Duce and I'm a flash-a-holic....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
I meant the nightlies. The beta is good except for the open Wifi networks never reconnecting. That is crucial because sprint service sucks at my school.

And just like that I'm back. Does anyone have compass working on beta?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
Search for "compass calibration". Some folks have calibrated the compass with the phone upside down and have claimed success. I have not had success with that technique.

Edit: I've used GPS Status to try to calibrate. It wants you to rotate the phone around it's three axis then press OK. Rotating without pressing OK is a fun party game you can play at home ;) Needless to say, that does not work. I've read mentions about GPS Toolbox but can not find it in the Play Store. YMMV.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
GPS Toolbox = GPS Status app. Same thing. I have not had luck with any of those techniques. Calibrating with phone upside down causes rotation issues as well.

When I'm listening to music and push the power button to turn the screen on, there is a slight delay to when the screen turns on, and the music stalls for a bit. Not a big deal, just wondering if anyone else encountered this.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] billman99999:
I have been testing this situation out for the last few days. I disable the notification light in display settings and at some random point of the day it re-enables its self. It does not matter if I reboot after making the setting or shutting down and then restarting to try to make the setting stick. I'm running beta one on a clean everything wiped install. Phone gets heavy usage during the week and can go a full day unused on a weekend. Battery life is stellar and no other problems to report except the stuttering music when waking the screen while listening to Pandora. Since it takes a long period of time sometimes I'm not sure a logcat would help. Please let me know if you think it will and I'll run it all day. Thanks!

My phone is stuck on the Cyanogenmod 9 boot screen

Hello all,

I am have some issues with my Epic 4g touch. I flashed the new Cyanogenmod 9 beta 1, previously having the Alpha 6 version. Now my phone is stuck on the Cyanogenmod 9 boot screen, and won't go past that. I'm not sure what to do, as I don't want to do a factory reset. Can anyone suggest anything I can do to fix my problem? Any help would be much appreciated!

PLEASE HELP ME!!! =(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
You should always do a nand backup. You can make a backup right now. That way after you factory reset you can use titanium backup pro to get your apps and data reinstalled using the option to look inside a nandroid and restore from there

Running Lost, did a dirty install just to see how things go (i have a busy day coming up and need no surprises from my phone). So far so good. Unfortunately, Gmail sync stopped working on my previous build (beta 1) and I was hoping this would fix it; it has not. I'll try a full wipe tonight and install from scratch.

Scratch that, looks like 4g won't connect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnoh:
I do not completely understand why there are multiple "nightlies" available, but I have tried both and have had really good results (at least on the Beta version) with the Shabbypenguin Nightlies, 4G is working great and I have not been experiencing the wifi issue either.

There is only one nightly. Unless Chris has started issuing nightlies rather than test builds which range from 0 builds a day to many many builds a day. That by definition is not nightly builds.
