I had some time to finally update to Beta 1 last night, and I am also finding issues with Wifi. Initially, it connected fine, but now, it won't even connect. It continues attempting to connect and giving the "obtaining IP address" message. This has never happened before. In fact, Wifi connected just fine while I was doing the initial "beta 1" rom setup. It is strange, but I see quite a few within the thread are having similar issues with Wifi. When it did connect initially, I was also having the connection dropped issue some others have pointed out within the thread as well where the Wifi status would remain grey in the notification bar.

I did try what others have suggested which is to forget the network and reboot. Nothing has fixed the issue yet. Everything else is working well with this build though. Battery life is amazing. Hopefully, our wifi issues can be pinned down and resolved at some point.

On a side note, many thanks to all those involved in this project. I know I speak for all when I say that we greatly appreciate the time and the effort.

Any chance we'll ever get a cyanogenmod specific dialer app? I like the stock app but the lack of speed dial kills me. I have to use ex dialer, which I don't like as much

Lol, have it hang off the edge
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
Tried that. Compass is still broken
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
It looks to me like almost every post in the CM10 thread is a bug report of some sort. Am I missing something? The only things wrong with CM9 that I'm aware of are the goofy mount points and inability to update profile and PRL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I came from CM9 4 weeks ago. I have ZERO ZERO ZERO issues with CM10. Just saying that your mileage may vary. I know there are bugs on paper but there are lots of CM9 bugs on paper too that don't affect everyone the same. you may be pleasantly surprised. I was.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gg_99:
I'm similarly waiting for just another step or two toward greater stability / fewer bugs. Seems like they've made great progress, but I'm not ready to fight any one of the outstanding issues that some (granted not all) are reporting. I'm still running VroomVroom, so I'm obviously not a flashaholic. Eager to get to CM10 but I just don't have the kind of time or energy to fight bugs on a device I *need* to have working than I used to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Does anyone have the exact date when the nightlies stopped booting ?

**UPDATE**

I don't know if it was an upstream error or not... but I managed to compile cm9 using the last tidbits from the repo.. latest upstream and it booted no problems ?

Anyways its on my goo under Cm9 / Boing if you want to use it. I'm going to try to downgrade the RILJ to the older epicril to see if the stupid RILJ wake locks go away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
No luck with EpicRIL. :confused: RILJ still burnin the battery, oh well.

Stupid log cat can't find this dang wakelock aaarrggghhh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Blah I know it seems like I'm bumping the thread, but whatever.

So for those that want the latest upstream (today like around noon) use goo and get the Boing, for those that don't mind the... monumental step back the awesomeness that was alpha6 battery life, with a newer phone that rings custom ringtones, a STABLE WIFI MAC address, and the latest kernel built against Chris's repo... get the a6-hacked_to_crap

My tweak app, v1.03 should work flawlessly on both, just remember if you go back to a6, external_sd is now emmc etc etc etc it shouldn't take you maybe 6 minutes to redo your ringtones, get Media Re-Scan, and kick the phones ass. I dirtied from Boing to my a6 no problem, just cleared the Phone APP data under all just to be safe.

What a night, pretty ridiculous getting everything going, rebooted forgot to copy modules into kernel... going wtf wifi ain't working LOL. :silly: time for zombie man to goto bed. Enjoy y'all.

2 new experimental roms! http://goo.im/devs/hakcenter/CM9 dated 11/13/2012

i think hacked_to_crap sounds fun! flashing it asap! sounds like hacked_to_crap.zip 2.0 will be even better!! thanks lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Want to flash, but about to go on a week long trip where a functioning phone will be mission critical. Guess I'll have to wait... :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] balistic2:
Hey looks like you have done something really cool. I am currently downloading your Boing build & backing up my CM9 (which is the 10/16 build). I will come back with some info about my flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
Nice...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
How's it working out for everyone ? I'm going to try to locate and smash the Wi-Fi Mac issue if I can today.

One issue I have is when I'm hearing music in my car using AUX and I get a notification, the music gets very low and I have to play with the volume to get it back to normal.

CM9 made MEID and SN "unknown"

I need a little help as I am kinda new to this.

I have been running rooted EL29 for almost 1 year without problem. Last month, I followed the QBking77 instructions on youtube to flash CM beta1. It was pretty good, 3G, 4G, wifi tethering all worked well with sprint. But one of the apps I used before started to complain about not knowing my ESN or something in CM9. I did not have a chance to look into it until today. Yes, both MEID and SN are showing "unknown".

So I followed QBking77's instructions on youtube to temporarily boot into stock EL29 rom. Well, MEID and SN are present in the stock rom EL29. When I switch back to CM9 Beta1, MEID and SN becomes "unknown" again.

Anyone knows how can I fix this and have MEID and SN back into CM9? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
for as long as i've known this has always been the case for many of the roms i flash, i know for sure it happens in cm9, cm10, jb aokp and jb-paranoids.... pretty sure it even happens in stock rom but i cant remember the last time i ran stock. i wish there was a way get rid of that, i think theres a workaround im begninng to recall. you have to change one of your notifications to silent, cant remember if it was in the sms app settings or volume setting or how to make it not interrupt music playing sound level

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

thats a known bug in cm9 beta1, i hope itll be fixed in beta2, i would recommend trying cm10 beta as the meid and serial do appear in there plus you will love jellybean with butter
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
there won't be a beta 2. dev has switched to cm10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
I created a profile just to use when I'm in the car which turns of notifications..works good..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fyrusher:
Does anyone getting GPS sensor work?:confused: None of the ICS CM9 has proper working GPS sensor
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
GPS works fine. Use I've of the gingerbread temp boots to flash back to gingerbread, get a GPS lock then flash CM9 again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Looks like I finally found the wifi mac issue, there is an update to hardware/samsung under the jb branch that doesn't exist under the ics branch... namely the macloader service file.

So I've hand patched it over, compiling right now, if it works... I'll post the updated rom (upstream updates) on my goo.:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Cool.. Let us know hc..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] customz123:
Your rom been pretty awesome with me!!! Thanks hakcenter
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
I miss that. If it weren't for the full blown haptic feedback that can't be shut off this would be my DD for a while. There is no way to shut it off yeah? I'll start reading through the thread. Haven't been keeping up with this for a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Running Boing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] customz123:
Yes I'm running boing. Its probably the best cm9 that worked for my phone. So far a day without charging and almost 2 hours of screen time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I was pretty sure there were some options in the later builds to change the % of haptic and even disable it. Don't feel like screen shotting it but I'm sure on of the nice fellows in here might.

Ya it seems pretty strong so far, once I get macloader built (it finally is building now) I hope to have the last release based on the epic4gtouch tree and start to work on the d710 tree that I guess is the one that doesn't boot. No idea till I start to try.

^ Maybe even get read/write access to that repo and push my commits.

Here's hoping this is the last compile for tonight. :victory:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] customz123:
Keep up the goodwork im loving it. With your tweaks and rom. Its working flawlessly lol.

Just go to settings>advanced>haptic. Gives you the option.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
gonna flash this for the first time. Is this still 404 based? would it incorporate 4.2 at some point?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
LOL, CM9 is 4.0.4, CM10 is 4.1.2, 4.2 might be 11 dunno I just read it was going to be 10.1 which given the nature of 4.2 that doesn't seem crazy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
Yeah thats the first thing I did. So it is supposed to work then. That's good to know. Must have gotten a bad flash or something. I'd change the settings and nothing would happen. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
I was messing with the camera and i noticed i can see the scan lines moving on my monitor. I wasn't able to see that before on cm9. Doesn't that mean the camera is refreshing faster than the screen is? i'm curious as to what changed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Screen rates are either different or the same and startup times are off.

Either way completely normal. Our eyes are more awesomer than the electronic counter parts so we don't see the nasties.

Just like with dlp of you look at it it's fine. If you focus your eyes across each side of it you'll see the rgb on the screen it's a mind trip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
So....

If you write the proper mac address into /data/misc/wifi/.nvram.info You won't have a random mac anymore. I can't tell why the driver seems to be writing blanks to the folder just yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
use the macloader from ff18, and it will work.. also the driver may not be able to access that file depending on permissions..

it pulls the mac from /efs/ some file in there.. i forget now..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
It can read it if you write a mac to the file, that's the real kicker.

There doesn't seem to be any 'macloader' in any of older builds and alpha6 certainly didn't have anything in the init's to suggest running a service specifically for it.

Like I said before, I can use the same exact kernel on alpha6 (setup for sdcard / emmc) or on the newer builds, and it only has this issue on the newer builds. It has to be a permissions issue but I don't understand where they would be most if not all permissions seems to be in the kernel image init's once compiled.

When I got the macloader service backported to CM9 ics all it really does is just delete the .cid.info (I guess for S3 they use that in their driver) it really doesn't actually do any reading/writing of the files, it falls back to the driver writing the file. If the file doesn't exist, then make it, so that macloader is just removing the file to make sure the driver writes a new one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] derpotron9001:
I'm running CM9 Beta 1 (no nightly), and my phone thinks it's charging when it's unplugged. I've tried reflashing (factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik -- the usual). No luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
MuffinMan has 4g broken..keeps force closing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Flash Boing from my goo. Dirty is fine.

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

When is it force closing ? On toggle ? Mine isn't at all but I'm not in a coverage area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] customz123:
Yea I just flashed MuffinMan myself. It force closes when you go to the 4g settings and if i toggle 4g, 4g never occurs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
Same here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Okay I can confirm on that. Gimme awhile to fix it today. Any issue on Boing with 4g ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] balistic2:
Boing's 4g works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
Boing is all good

I think I borked my phone. I've put it into download mode, did a nandroid restore, then back into download mode, and Odin One Click will not recognize my device. This has never happened before, and I'm genuinely concerned.

I can access recovery and do factory resets, wipe the cache and dalvik cache, still. Not sure what my next step should be. I'm not sure if it's the ROM at this point. If I need to post in a different forum, I will be happy to do so.

Thanks for all your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
if your in recovery, its fine... prob windows. try diff usb ports and reboot it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I've found the issue with 4g on the MuffinMan, not sure on an exact fix just yet, but it doesn't help that the wimax.jar framework compiled with basically nothing in it at all.

Swapped out the Muffin's wimax framework with Boing and presto. So gimme a bit to locate the issue.

On another note I'm going to try to incorporate CM's filemanager into the releases... :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] derpotron9001:
Reinstalled the drivers, tried all three of my USB ports, and still no luck. Any other things I could try?

Thanks again for your help and patience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Sounds to me like you flashed an International Version on your phone, if so, you just bricked it. Only fix is to get it replaced or jtaged. Bootloader on the Internationals pretty much prevent the USB port from powering up on the US phones.

I... wouldn't know anything about that... :silly:

If not.. I'm really not sure at all. You may be able to put a rom on an SD Card, and try to flash it through recovery as a last resort if you can get into recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] derpotron9001:
That... that is not what I wanted/needed to hear. D:

How can I get my phone jtaged? The phone still functions (sms, mms, calls, data, and it charges when it's plugged into power) it just thinks that it's always connected to a wall outlet. Because of this, USB storage mode won't initiate (just figured this out). So, that's why download mode won't work either.

EDIT: USB storage is working again. There must be a huge delay in recognition. It's been connected to my PC for over an hour, but it just now decided to recognize it. Will provide more info as soon as I can figure out what's going on.

EDIT 2: Odin One Click is working again. Currently downloading now.

EDIT 3: Back on stock ICS, rooted. Phone still thinks it's charging while unplugged. At this point, it shouldn't be considered a software issue, should it? Seems like the pins inside the phone's USB port might be borked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
if you had flashed the international version, the samsung boot screen would have changed.... did it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] derpotron9001:
It did not change.

Unrelated note, these stupid captchas are annoying. I'm clearly not a robot. /facepalm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
My Dad's phone had the exact SAME issue. I've had to clean the charging port ATLEAST 5 times with isopropyl alcohol and a nice little tiny brush.

Just keep at it, apparently quote unquote, corrosion can occur in the charging port.

Knock on wood, my children sometimes.. i know this is bad, chew on my usb cords that my phone plugs into for my PC. I haven't had an issue with corrosion or erronous charging but I'm sure it'll eventually happen to me as well. Just keep cleaning it and cleaning it. DO NOT USE RUBBING ALCOHOL IT IS NOT THE SAME AS ISOPROPYL.

BTW looks like I might have a new build up tonight. Hopefully I get a high five on that.

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

I wanted to bring this forward and get some more info now that everything is on the up and up atm.

Are you using Apollo ? Is the 'safe headset volume' crap checked under Sound Settings ?

^ If so have you tried disabling apollo and using something different ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] derpotron9001:
I've heard about the "corrosion" phenomenon. I'll have to try that asap. Thanks for the info, it was very much appreciated! I'll post the results soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Blueraydude:
Great work guys!!!

Just one question, are you still working on CM9? or have you moved on to CM10?

I've noticed a couple of issues with this, I think others have noted them too.

1. Menu button LEDs turn on again after timing out.

2. Auto rotation doesn't work sometimes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Which builds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
Yes im using apollo, i've tried google music and other third party music players. It's been an issue for me on all CM9 builds. Does anyone else have the same issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
From some little research it seems like it's a Samsung blob problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
With RedRover, I can't change the texting notification sound..when I do it still plays the default notification sound.. can someone else confirm this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] customz123:
It works fine with me. Did you do a dirty or clean flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
I just wiped cache and dalvik..will do an all clear.

Don't do a full clear try media rescan first.

I'm going to do a build today and include theming on the cm file manager... Which is one hell of a cool app.

Maybe try to swap superuser for supersu as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AllenR85:
I had this exact problem a while back. I found it happens even for people who do not root their phones. It's definitely a hardware issue, so you might be better off taking it to Sprint and letting them try to factory reset it and then offer to exchange it for 40 bucks (if you're not paying for their warranty), or put up a ticket with Samsung and wait 2-3 weeks for a repair.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffrey567:
Hows the 4g speeds
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Turkey build is up and I'm having the family get together now, so enjoy the upload.

CMFileManager themes are in, a few upstream changes, and Superuser is toast in favor of SuperSU (which imho works a ton better).

BTW make sure to reflash gapps...:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
anyone have a way to add the clock to the notification drop down? like up where the date is?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
With gobblegobble , does anyone have the issue with touch key lights not shutting off?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] customz123:
Ummm I'm not having any issues go to setting>advance> then uncheck back light keys. Hopefully that works out

When i choose 6 second for it to turn off, it stays on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Was there any build that they actually worked on? Last I remember they didn't work on beta 1 either.

I'll look into it over the weekend if I get time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:
It worked on beta 1, take your time and thank you for keeping CM9 alive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
The only build i tried where the lights worked as intended was a shabby nightly, 8-06 build to be exact, but i didn't flash too many nightly builds. They were wonky (meaning they would turn back on after timing out) on beta1 but I eventually saw they would "correct themselves" after a while with no reboot. Reboot again and they would act up until it fixed itself again. Weird.

I need to check my laptop if i have that build still, because I've since deleted it from my sd card.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angelriathica:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Lights require an upstream patch from the smdk4210 kernel on Cyanogens github : http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/18357/

Current compile of the kernel from that source had a SurfaceFlinger segfault, one of the commits looks like some JB upstream changes so I've reverted back on that branch just before that commit hoping to see this kernel boot.

Hopefully all works... *crosses fingers*

Otherwise I'll just continue with the the other sources that atleast boot and add the patch... (no big deal on that part).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mastamindz:
What has been the best performance settings for this rom to run smoother and help the battery? Just wondering! For some reason my battery drains more than it has lately.

Uploading a build that finally boots again. LOL

After some long talking with Chris41g it appears the smdk tree is not ready as of yet. But whatevs.

Lights are working now... I don't know why they come on a second time just sitting there, I'll debug it a bit later. Maybe just fetch from upstream smdk for just those :good:

Serial should be showing up now as wel, instead of unknown.

Wifi is still eluding me, I think the driver isn't getting the right permissions... I might just tweak it to use efs...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I fixed lights in JB as well, ill email you the patch..

Looks like I got it fixed now, I'll post a Rom later tonight
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Sorry I didn't post yet, was hoping I get Wi-Fi in with it but nope. Even using /efs/wifi no go.

I don't want some weird files in places they don't have to be so I'll recompile tonight with that omitted.

Chris had a commit to the smdk section too so maybe it'll boot now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Alright compiling now, should be up in atleast 1 hour.

Going to make a new repo and try out the smdk branch again and see if it boots. :good:
