Lol I really don't care. That branch still isn't booting.

Anything I post on goo has personally been on my phone, since its uploaded from there lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] westlandnick:
So I'm a noob to the e4gt. I came from an HTC EVO 4G. I had that for almost 2 years, and I flashed and configured that phone probably 100 times or more. That being said, I love my E4GT, its been great. I've had it about 3 weeks now, and I have been running on FF18 with root, I flashed from the link on the How to not brick your e4gt thread. I don't mind the samsung stock rom, however I love AOSP and miss it. So I decided I want to go to this rom cm9. The only reason my phone didn't get cm9 from the day I bought it, is because of the brick issues.. It made me decide to try and stay stock so I have nothing to worry about. Well long story short, I attempted to flash last night with no success. I am now on EL29 with root so I have a functional phone for the workday. I downloaded the latest nightly, and gapps, and verified the checksums, they are both on my external sd, and internal storage, verified the checksums after putting them on the phone. Anyway, my problem last night was that trying to follow the instructions on http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html I'm a little confused, a bunch of stuff is crossed out.. anyway, the recovery that was on my phone was from the auto root script, which is from el29. It looks different than the recovery in the youtube video link, and the up down up down up down thing didn't do anything... When I tried to flash, it gave me an error, and wouldn't flash. So I had to use the odin el29 to get my phone back. Before I give this another shot, I thought I would see if anyone can tell me, what recovery should I be using? how, where, what, ect.. the other thing is, I downloaded Heimdall, couldn't I just flash it from there? I'm afraid to experiment with this phone because of the brick issue..

So sorry to ramble forever, my basic question is should I be using the direct boot cwm5? is there a better recovery to use? And is this CM9 the most stable/functional AOSP for this phone? Should I go to cm10? I want input from you who have had this phone and flashed cm successfully and used it as a daily driver. thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
1) download the rom and gapps to your phone's internal sd card.

2) go to download mode and ODIN this to your phone:

http://shabbypenguin.com/k0/ecm/E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5

2) reboot

3) clear dalvik,cache,factory data reset

4) Flash CM10 + gapps

EDIT: These from the blog are correct btw... long winded but correct and safe.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I recommend running hakcenter' s latest CM9 build rather than a nightly as I believe it has newer code:

http://goo.im/devs/hakcenter/CM9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mackhc:
I've tried cm10 it has some more bells and whistles. But for that simple and sweet cyanogenmod feeling I still prefer cm9. I also seem to get much better battery life from cm9 this could be because of my configuration tho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
It is not the configuration.... unfortunately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
idk, cm10s battery is better for me... I don't do anything special or drastic to conserve battery besides dimming screen.....

config and apps weigh in a lot on use it seems to me....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
I see there are a few different builds on the site.. the latest that is uploaded boots up right? I love running cm9 and I'm ready to jump ship from calls 3.0 back to here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
So far catan is treating me good :)

..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
Does it still have that one problem where when you're playing music and turn the screen off, the next time you turn the screen on you hear a big distortion noise? That was a deal breaker for me and why I stopped using CM9. Felt like returning back to it, hopefully GPS and location services are working, also that data speeds are pretty good!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I do not have this problem on Catan. That said, I never did on any other build...

I'd say make a nandroid of your current ROM and give it a flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
I never had that issue.. but GPS and data is good. Only issue I have is when playing music using AUX in the car and a notification comes through, the sound becomes very low until I play with the volume..then its OK..other than that all is good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Unfortunately that is a proprietary vendor blob issue.

Going to fix the display modes next, I noticed that outdoor mode and a few other video modes are not working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
OK..thanks :thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Loaded up catan yesterday and so far things seem cool.. only issue so far is the charging light while phone is off doesn't work.. haven't tried my power player for the music bug.. will check that out today... so far at 12 hours , 2 hours screen on and 16% left.. going to let it settle for a couple of cycles and report later bout the battery... thanks again hak...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Make sure to use my tweak app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Going to download and try it out this cycle.. didn't use it the initial install
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
What tweak app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dnash:
Is the official version being worked on? Or has development moved to CM10?

Has anyone tried device encryption on the nightly builds? Do I need to wipe everything before flashing the nightly builds if I'm currently on CM9 Beta 1?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
I've cleaned the thread guys. Please keep the bickering back and forth out of here. Please. :victory:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I'm trying to get official support but the kernel has to boot, which its not.

Can't even debug it with console=tty0 uhg.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
No need to wipe, flash away. Make back ups first just in case you do find yourself needing to do a full wipe, sometimes things go funky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Blueraydude:
Are you guys still working on CM9? Or have you left it for CM10?

I need a more stable rom! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Hakcenter is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
!

hakcenter, can you suggest some tweaks to apply using your app on catan? i never thought of running your app on this rom lol, it should have dawned on me that it might possibly be a great idea
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
So I've been running Catan for a little bit now, gotta say its very stable! Very DD worthy! GPS is working, and that horrible audio distortion when you wake the phone after you've been playing music is gone! Battery life is pretty good as well (even though I've only given it like one cycle lol) Only thing I don't like is the slow 3G/4G speeds. Getting like 1.1mbps down with 4G. #G is like .62mbps.. other than that its great!

Tried the EL29 multiboot, didn't help data speeds much after updating profile/PRL. Its all good though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Use my non beta tweak app, and apply the Pegasus tweak then reboot.

I generally run the conservative governor as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tasoli:
I just posted this in the CM10 thread, but maybe you guys can tell me if this functionality exists in CM9:

I'm on stock GB and my power button is going out. I'm looking to install a ROM that will allow me to wake the phone from sleep/deep sleep using a capacitive button such as the menu or home button. I saw a post in this thread which stated that CM10 for E4GT has this ability (press Menu and wake phone). (this post specifically)

Does this functionality exist in CM9? (the ability to set the phone to wake up from sleep by pushing the Menu capacitive button on the face of the phone)

I'd really like to get this functionality on my stock 2.3 EL29, but unfortunately I've only read threads where people say it's impossible.

Thanks for letting me know, I really appreciate it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I don't think you can wake with menu but you can with volume keys
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tasoli:
Thanks very much for your quick and informative response. I ended up flashing Calkulin's (because I've used it before and like it) and it supposedly has the same Volume Wake functionality.

I've run into a problem though, and I'm curious if you would test something for me on CM9 (assuming you're running CM9).

When I try to use Volume Wake after the phone has gone into "deep sleep" (5 or so minutes of no use) it only works sporadically. Sometimes it works on the first press, sometimes I'm sitting there for 30 seconds pressing the volume key waiting for some cycle in the CPU Sleep to register my button press.

If you'd do me a huge favor, would you mind enabling the volume wake option and trying to wake the phone from "deep sleep" 2 or 3 times, and letting me know if you experience similar sporadic behavior? I would flash the ROM myself, but going through the hassle only to find out that it doesn't work and then flash all the way back to Calkulin's from stock and re-rooting again seems like a lot of work - and I have a feeling the Volume Wake on CM9 works in the same way as Calkulin's because I've seen on other threads that people with different phones are having the same problem (such as this thread, and this thread, and many others).

Thank you in advance for whoever would do me this huge favor and save me 30 minutes to an hour of boring tedious work! I will be sure to click the "Thanks!" button if that's important to you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
tested it on CM10. worked less times than it worked. Maybe 3 times out of 10 it worked.... Someone else will have to verify CM9 for you....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tasoli:
Thanks very much for taking the time to test it for me - I believe this is a universal issue I won't be able to get around as it seems to have something to do with how often the system is listening for buttons that are not power buttons when in deep sleep. I don't know enough about Android (or computers) to explain what we're seeing, but it appears every ROM/kernel has the same problem.

I appreciate your effort very much, you just saved me a lot of work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
What's interesting is that my wife's old evo had a broken power button and she used this feature on CM9 and it worked 99 times out of 100 and probably more. it rarely didn't work...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TerryMathews:
Probably means either the capacitative buttons aren't interrupt driven or that particular interrupt isn't being watched property.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
So getting sick is no fun at all :(.

I did some more test compiling and I've got a sneaky feeling that the smdk_new kernel tree even though it has an ics branch is a jb kernel.

I'll have to see about adding d710 support to the smdk kernel branch and if that boots it's the only logical reason to me.

I noticed teamhacksung's smdk_new tree doesn't have a ics branch only the fork from EpicAOSP. Unfortunately I've been too sick to really get online.

Hopefully after this weekend I'll be back to normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Bummer deal man, hope you feel better soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mastamindz:
Can you use the nfc feature in this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mwcarnage:
The E4GT does not have NFC capabilities.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Wow.

So here's hoping for another night of compiling.. yaaaaaaa I'm so *cough* happy about it *cough*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Any luck? I'm looking to get flashtastic this weekend.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Stupid kernel just refuses to boot I've got what looks like a possible last_kmsg which is basically last boot, and it doesn't even boot like a normal kernel. No version no cgroup, no command line operands nothing.

So I'll just work on what works for now maybe get in an irc channel for kernels and figure that out its just weird. It doesn't even panic that's the kicker.

But anyways I'll be hopefully fixing some issues I see pop up in logcat and squash as much as I can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Permissions issue with mDNIe... compiling now...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Uploading now, had some weird issues but all is well.

All the advanced settings should work, I would suggest going through each one and changing it then setting it back just to make sure the settings you want are now working.

If anyone else knows something that isn't working or a bug that isn't vendor blob related let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Everything seems fine to me, no (new) problems that I see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freakb18c1:
Anybody else having issues flashing these Nightlies found here http://goo.im/devs/Shabbypenguin/E4GT-Nightlies

Rule #1

If you literally did a search for "wont boot" in this thread, the first result would answer your question, but you can only lead a horse to water.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Don't run those nightlies, run the roms I've compiled, latest is doing great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freakb18c1:
Cool http://www.goo.im/devs/hakcenter/CM9

I'll give em a try... I can flash these right over CM9 Beta 1 or would you recommend doing a Cache Wipe?

Just the top and the governor.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Dirty flashed Largest Army, phone did not explode.

Everything looks great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] UnderworldDemon666:
Pretty good ROM hakcenter. Flawless if you ask me. Only issue that I'm currently having is GPS (I flashed CM10 and with the GPS issue, I've been jumping around from ROM to ROM trying to find something that GPS works on). Is this issue just me, or is it CM9, because before Beta of CM9, I had GPS. Thanks for reading and replying, and making such a flawless ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Thanks for the complement, but I stand on the shoulders of giants. So the real thanks goes to team epic cm.

Have you tried the multi boot into ff18 and getting a GPS lock then see if it helps back in cm9?

Unfortunately I've never had a GPS issue ever. I get locks in at most ten seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] random45:
Nice to see CM9 is still being worked out. I couldnt stand CM 10 anymore, especially the volume issue. I went to stock FL16, and battery life is terrible. I wont go back to GB, cuz its depressing. (anyone else feel the same way?)

Just wanted to give a shout out to you hakcenter. Thanks for working on this rom. Downloading LargestArmy right now.

http://goo.im/devs/hakcenter/CM9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freakb18c1:
Same reason why I went back to CM9 from 10

Horrible battery life.

Really bad MMS Compression

Low BT Audio
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
GPS is perfect. Load a non-AOSP ROM and get a lock, then flash back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andygallo:
I've had very good results with the GPS by just resetting the GPS state (with ##4772579# and your MSL in a stock ROM dialer) right before installing/booting to CM.

Thanks for all your hard work keeping CM9 going for us, Hakcenter. Because of devs like you keeping the Epic Touch relevant, I passed on the GSIII and can wait it out for the "next big thing"...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Thanks I got my whole family gs2's for only a penny each on the Amazon deal. I have no intentions of upgrading for the sake of "new". Newer is not always better as a few of you have found out.

I should probably try to join the epic team eh?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] UnderworldDemon666:
Well, I flashed back to FI27 (Odin One-Click). Updated PRL and profile (just in case that had something to do with it). Still on FI27, I get a GPS lock now, but only accurate to 100 meters, when where I'm sitting, I used to get an instant lock, with accuracy of 5-10 meters.

Tried this as well, didn't do anything besides make me wait longer for a lock. I wonder if it's possible to screw up hardware by flashing to different ROMs? Anyways, I'll still working with it. CM9 is flawless if I can get GPS and MMS to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
I think I found a bug in the largestarmy. when playing music through the headphone out jack and I turn off my bluetooth headset the music stops playing from the headphone jack. this is something I dont like to happen and have found it occur on some roms, doesnt happen on cm9beta1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cyburke:
i found your tweak, but what is the location for the pegasus tweak?

will these tweaks conflict with the SpeedDaemon AIO tweaks?

should the ROM be re-flashed, your tweaks and the pegasus tweak applied - and leave the SpeedDaemon out of it - to get a true comparison?

THANKS

If I want to switch to this rom from jb touchwiz, would I need to switch from the jb modem?

Yes, the latest modem you can possibly run with this is FJ12. None of the Touchwiz JB Modems will work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I'll see what I can find, seems like a blob issue though

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

I don't know speeds tweaks, but just installing my app and building a base does not apply any tweak at all you still have to apply the Pegasus tweak then reboot.

However my Pegasus tweak can be removed using the app and choosing the stock tweak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Why not bake the tweaks into the ROM directly?

Cause I'd have to make my own Rom at that point. I don't want to steal the thunder.

Does anyone using this rom use the Samsung ChatOn app? I can't get it to work in any AOSP rom I have tried (both ICS and JB). The app loads but when you click "Sign In" or "Skip" it gives "Error: Network Error". I checked logcat and I see the error "HttpStatus is 400, Description: Bad Request". Is there some DNS or proxy settings that are different between AOSP and TouchWiz roms? The app will connect just fine for me when running a TW rom.

If nobody is using the app, would someone be willing to download it and see if they can just get past the initial "Sign In" or "Skip" page?

Thanks
