Is anyone else having problems with the gapps not showing up? I've tried installing the zip a few times (the 20120429 copy), and I can see the files on my phone in the system/app folder, but I'm not seeing the icons show up. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Don't know dude.

Man I might make 15% per hour of screen time on my first night of VroomVroom (with my tweak app applied)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Implying you'll get more than 6 hours of screen on time? I'll believe that when I see it!! (Assuming standard battery)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Standard battery. Don't think I'll make 5 hours though, once it "settles in" maybe. I used to get at least 4 hours before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Link to your tweak app? (Can't see sig, using Tapatalk)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
I get this when I try to use whatsapp. I have already rebooted and done the steps it says. Any ideas ? On beta 1 btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
I'm downloading it now. I'll let you know how it goes

Edit; flashing the new gapps worked fine. Maybe your have a bad download? Check the md5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
does anyone know how to fix that little stutter when turning on your phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
What stutter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LaoArchAngel:
I think he means when waking the phone? I think mine takes a second to wake as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silentknyght:
I'm guessing it's the stutter that occurs to the media/sound being played? When I hit the power button to turn my screen on, the media being played stutters. Not a deal-breaker by any means, but certainly an annoyance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
when waking the phone, the lockscreen takes a second to load so it shows the screen you are on, then the lockscreen pops up a little later. it doesnt take very long but it is very annoying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
I too noticed it, especially when streaming over bluetooth in my car and then turning the screen on. Do other ROMs suffer from it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Haven't noticed a stutter with audio through the headphone jack can't comment on Bluetooth.

However battery life is looking good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Peanut Master:
I asked this question about a week ago but got no answer, so I'm guessing it may not be possible as the ROM is currently compiled, but I would love to be able to change the vibration intensity for all notifications to the medium vibrate setting (closer to the default vibrate on touchwiz). This can be done for text messages so I know it's capable of being changed, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change this setting for anything else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
It's in advanced setting under the haptic section.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Anyone had issues where there's no name when receiving a call? Meaning when someone in your contacts calls, the name doesn't show... not sure if its because of a theme or wat ... just wondering if anyone else had this issue...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
And all you did was switch to the vroom vroom build plus ran your hack center app? Nothing else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Full format clean install.

I don't sync but once a day. Text turns on screen etc.

And yes my Pegasus tweak. I'm going to break 4 hours of screen time. Maybe an hour of speaker calls.

This is my first charge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Does anyone know what the development status is on this ROM, since Chris appears to be focusing on CM10? Are there any differences between the past several nightlies?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Ya I guess sync is the killer cept on GB :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad--Dog:
The hack center app 1.0.3 is force closing on me with the vroomvroom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I don't think so I just find it redundant to sync my contacts every hour like anything has actually changed lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Can't help you there till my pc is back online. Waiting on a new projector bulb (had to rma it).

However I did make it to 4 hours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Is that all your syncing? Cause for work + personal life + small business I have 3 emails all configured to auto sync. My calender with exchange also auto syncs and with GB I get really good battery life no issues at all really. With CM 9 the rom is even smoother than GB for me and my wifi issues are resolved however I am getting just horrible battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
When I sync I sync email contacts calendar etc. Even g+.

For me I've been getting great battery life since alpha 6 up until beta. Imho no offense to the devs but the beta it's just terrible. I wish we could track it down to see if it was up stream or kernel modules.

Battery charges too fast, recharges while the screen is off etc.

Ever since two sysctl tweaks the phone sleeps well and gets great life.

I don't use my phone for a lot of stuff though. I turn data/Wi-Fi off when I'm not using it. I notice I can squeeze a few more sleep hours with data off.

Once my new bulb is in I'm hoping to complete my app, talk with phakker some more and narrow everything down to a few simple things that increase life and performance. A faster phone should be better at watt per work load than a slow one (cpu speed aside).

My io scores alone are double over stock.

try to stop syncing your mail... it will sync when you open the app. I bet email sync and exchange kills yours.... those syncs work differently than gmail syncs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavenmaven:
i know what you mean what with all the contingencies and "that doesn't work anymore" and "get this version no get the other version of this file" its completely insane.

if the instructions were as clear as some of these guys think, this thread wouldn't be over 100 pages long it would be about 1 page tops. i've read from post 1 to post 70 straight so far lol!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
It's a development thread, not a "how to" thread. If you don't know what you're doing, find a thread that explains it.

That said.... Props to you for reading it all though!!! That's how you learn! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
i guess we're not going to go official any time soon?!?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthejoker20:
When I make or receive a call, the call screen goes ALL BLACK.

IS there a way to get my call screen back?

This is a no go for me if it is a glitch.

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Put your thumb over the light sensor at the top left. Then let off, dunno what the problem is but it's getting annoying.

Not enough time between dialing and push buttons.

Dude I know right?

I have my reservations that the whole "team" is just moving to cm10 when obviously 9 is not a very bright cherry especially with all the debug left in the nightlies.

10 is one steaming, and I mean steaming pile of battery nuke it's not even funny. All for what ? A prettier slide unlock screen and no project butter. I hope Chris can fix that but crap it's just ridiculous lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Yeah, my worry as well. CM9 is so great, it really just needs a couple more kinks ironed out...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavenmaven:
Here in New York City a Sprint phone rep mentioned that they're replacing existing 4g towers with LTE and that's responsible for the unpredictable 4g performance, for what it's worth.

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

alright boys i've read from the first post all the way to the current post and i think my brain is oozing out of my ears now.

consensus is a bit shaky: some say pre-beta was the best, some say beta1 and a couple say post-beta shabby dated 10/7. i'm on alpha4 which works smashingly for me (except no gps). i'm itching to flash upwards so someone smack me on the head with a strong recommendation. i'm leaning hard towards beta1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
You can also consider shabbypenguin's nightlies. I'm on the Oct 11 build, and it's working very well.

Sadly, everyone has different setups, modems, version of CM9, governors, sync settings etc..

You're probably best off picking one and trying it for a while. If it's not working out, pick another one. I know it's not the advice you wanted, but it's really hard for us to suggest the best ROM when all of our setups dictate how the ROM performs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavenmaven:
You're totally right! everybody's experience is different thanks for fixing my collar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
Just flashed Shabby's 10/20 build. Media scanner and RILJ went crazy, resulting in a huge battery drain. Flashed the 10/11 build (suggested by thedarksavant) and that's running very well. Android OS is at the top of the battery drain list though Overall its a great build!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Is shabby's 10/11 build the most recent CM9 that is working well? None between then and the 10/18 build work?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
I'm actually not sure. I've only tried 10/7 (very stable) and 10/11 before trying 11/20.

You can try them out, though I'm not sure if they're stable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
I was on 10/5 and now 10/12. Both were stable and definitely daily drivers, I could not tell how the 10/12 (that's how good both were).

as the previous poster said, there are a dozen different varibles for each phone that will impact how the roms run so YMMV.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
. Thanks for your response.. I was just looking for info from some folks that have tested already.. I suggest you flash 10/20.. its solid! ;)

Thanks for your response too.. I've been a major flashaholic ever since I got my phone and rooted.. so I'm familiar with the fact that all devices run roms slightly different due to the outrageously large number of settings we can play with.. I was just wondering if the 10/20 build was broken or of it runs..

So.. I flashing Chris's 10/11 build, it ran great, I couldn't tell anything was wrong.. then I flashed shabby's 10/20 build, its running excellent too..

So I suggest anyone running CM9 to update to 10/20 nightly.. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
I flashed the 10/20 nightly earlier today then flashed back due to the media scanner/RILJ battery drain. Plus, when my screen went landscape, it didn't return to portrait until I went and disabled auto rotation. Did this happen to you? I'm thinking of giving 10/20 another shot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
My rotation is working perfect.. and I don't see much of a difference in battery drain either..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I just flashed 10/20 (came from beta 1, wipe of cache and dalvik). Screen rotation is behaving normally. Too soon to assess battery life, but no glaringly obvious problems at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
I'll go ahead and give it another go. Thanks for the info sjsharksfan420 and Bazirker!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
No problem, I had a few hours free today so I setup CM9-10/20 and nandroided that puppy.. currently fixing my JB-AoKPv4 nandroid but i plan on restoring my CM9-10/20 backup and use it for my DD for a while :)

I think we need to get back to VroomVroom and pound out the last remaining issues.

I made 4hrs with plenty of battery to spare. No extended battery just stock. This was always dimmed screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavenmaven:
thanks, guys, for the tips i chickened out and settled - installed beta1 before i read that 10/20's rockn rollin. as some mentioned i'm enjoying pretty impressive battery life coming up from alpha4. 30% remaining after 8 1/2 hrs on battery with slightly above average use.

just wanted to mention to anyone whos having a problem with temp boot that FF18 didn't work for me at all - only the EL29 SECOND mirror download did it for me. (the gps fix procedure.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fabolousrmx:
In you're screen shot I see that phone and media are using a bunch of power. Sounds like you have the Media/RILJ battery drain. That plagued the 10/16 build too. I'm going back to 10/11.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
This is screenshot of my current setup.. JB-AoKPv4

I don't see much of a difference in battery drain..

What would be considered good as far as phone & media usage?

Terrible thing happened, don't know what caused it but posting here in case it starts happening to someone else.

Overnight, something must have happened to my phone while it was charging (Beta 1, sync on, wifi on). My phone can no longer match contacts, it's phone book is full but contact search of any type does not work. When I go to 'contacts' and search a name, it unexpectedly stops after typing one letter. When in messaging, gmail, and google voice; I try typing a name to send to, and nothing comes up. This is really annoying and I can't think of anything that would cause it. So if anyone has any tips on fixing it, I would GREATLY appreciate it. The only thing remotely close to a suspect I can think of is the latest update from facebook for messenger. It had something to do with SMS, I did not set it up, but it was installed the day before this happened to me. Uninstalling did not help, wiping caches did not help, and deleting phone contacts and resyncing them did not help :/

I will reflash soon when I get a chance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fenixjn:
Have you tried clearing contact storage and then letting it resync?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] doubleu:
Had been running AfterTheBeta since it came out, and decided to flash Shabby's 10/20 (clean wipe.) The only problem I see right-off-the-bat is that the backlight buttons don't obey the setting in Settings->Advanced->Enable Keys Backlight. I have them unchecked so they should never come on; however the next time you turn on the phone, the backlights come right back on. Just an FYI I guess...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
It is exclusive to cm10. Pretty much anything new in cm10 will not show up in cm9. I read it in few posts back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
Good call. Worked perfectly. I didnt switch mine to external. Thats how it came but uninstalling TB, checking internal, rebooting, then re-installing TB. Shablam!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alexthearmo:
bummer...when i get time im gonna try to take the MMS.apk from the most recent CM10 nightly and install it with this rom...hopefully the SMS popup is all relegated to the apk and not to some other android framework. We'll see. I better nandroid first. If i have any success, I'll post the apk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
The way I work around it is this...

Open TB and hit menu key, then Preferences. Scroll down and select Backup Folder Location. If your backups don't show, hit DETECT! then Whole Device. Provided the SD cards are properly mounted, it should find where you've got backups located. Select "Use the current folder" and you're done!

I found this option when I went on a flashing binge and every rom seemingly had a different mounting/naming scheme for external storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toleraen:
4G working fine here...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toleraen:
If you're referring to the media storage deal, any rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fredrick1213:
I read a few posts back that it is built into the framework and if you try to replace the MMS.apk with CM10 MMS.apk you'll get force closes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I don't like the internal/external implementation if chose internal as default the file explorer apps can't read external and vice versa. :banghead:

This is the only thing that keeps me away from CM :(

And the app that mount emmc on external_sd did not stick the settings after a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
What?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toleraen:
Yeah, what? Mounting is the same as touchwiz rooms...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] glmooreky:
I've already tried. Wont work. Even when copying the apk to systems/apps, the icon won't even change. if you can get it to work..let me know :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
Question... if I under clocked to a maximum of 800 and a minimum of 200, then I let it sit for a while and check CPU stats how can it hit 1200 at all? Not to mention my battery is dropping 1% a minute :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I can swear if I chose use internal as default I can't see anything on external_sd and vice versa.

I open external_sd via any file explorer and says (empty)

To see either one need to change storage settings, so in definition is not like a TouchWiz like some mention.

But correct me if I'm wrong I'm just telling how I feel about this because I use both storage all the time and switching from storage setting ugghh!

And don't get me wrong I LOVE CM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Where did you find those 2 lines at? Maybe deleting the second line will solve this issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Thanks guys for this beta release its great. I still had to get a gps lock in a touchwiz rom before flashing this to have working gps (initial flash was no gps at all) but now the gps even works in the basement. Its like the gps is on steroids now.

I am still a little confused about the internal and external storage. I prefer my camera and videos to be saved on the internal storage. I went to storage settings and checked the box and rebooted and now my pics save on internal storage. By checking this box what else defaults to the internal storage? I don't care one way or the other where apps are saved because I don't use many apps. Just making sure I'm not missing something completely obvious here.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

Im also having struggles with understanding the storage assignment.

When I use astro file browser it works this way.

mnt/external_sd is actually internal storage

mnt/sdcard is the physical sdcard

Es file explorer does not seem to show internal storage at all only sdcard
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Danton1316:
First, when you open ES File Explorer do: Menu Button > Settings > Root Settings > Check "Root Explorer"

Now back out and go to your "/" directory...

external_sd folder = Your SD card in back slot

sdcard folder = Your internal storage

By default everything on mine installs to the external card. You can change this by going: System Settings > Storage > Menu Button > Storage Configuration > check "Use internal storage"

Hope this helps

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Its from logcat. It is executed by itself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Thanks Dan, too much time on touchwiz roms lately. Forgot all about that setting in ES. I guess I'm just a little slow today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
If you're missing data from one of your storage spaces, it would probably be best to mount USB in recovery, copy everything out of those directories so you have a backup of it... Rule number one with important data.

boot back into system, mount the usb storage from within CM9. copy some test files into each of the mounted drives, and troubleshoot to see which is which. You should be able to tell which is which by the total storage size your desktop says each mounted drive is.

Then, dismount from your computer, turn off usb storage on CM9, and take a look into the storage spaces and see whats there.

Now if you can't make heads or tails of it still, then do a full wipe including Int/ext sdcards, then reinstall CM9Beta/gapps. Sounds like you're all using TIBackup too, so that should also not be an issue... just DO NOT restore anything into /system, ONLY USER APPS/DATA.

once you've got a fresh install, you should be able to copy your storage data back where needed, and you should find solace in the fact that your installation is now as intended.

--edit--

Or, ya know as Danton1316 says... just lrn 2 root explore. Root explorer is well worth the 2 bucks if plan on continuing to tinker with custom ROMs of any sort, to any degree. It's been a rock-solid file explorer for android since the beginning. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
It's not missing data issue. Data is there just it not reading it from external_sd. Inserted sd card on PC, data is there, reverted back to FH13 data is there. That happens on AOSP based Roms. :(

It's like if you choose either the other is not easy to access.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
Do you have the ghost menu button bug? Where the menu option keeps flicking on and off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grandpoobah:
don't know if anyone else has this issue. on chris's nightly wamp wamp android OS sits at about 13-17%, on shabby's nightly it shoots up to like 50-75%. does that matter for battery life?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
usb mass storage doesn't come up anymore, is there some settings i should change to fix it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Lol I'm tired off reiterating myself. Beta and later, are just terrible. Kerry lights staying on. RILJ problems. Media player problems, the list goes on.

WampWamp has internal storage issues and media scanner problems last I checked it.

VroomVroom is about as good as it gets.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Maybe it's my usage pattern, but Beta 1 is perfect for me. Great battery, no RILJ or media issues. Storage works as expected. I can't complain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Similar experience for me, although I used MySpoonIsTooBig (which came out right around the time VroomVroom did) with no issue either. I'm on 10/20 nightly right now with slightly worse battery and home keys always lit up, so I might go back and try VroomVroom again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
No known fix except to try a different ROM. Doesn't happen on the stock Sprint ROM, so I think it must be kernel related. Tried doing full formats, clearing cache and dalvik to no avail. And yes I agree, it happens at the worst times possible! For a while with the 10/11 ROM, it wasn't doing it non-stop like a strobe light.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tha_Dynasty2049:
some odd reason i had that issue and it was solved when i put a sd in my phone?

if you dont already have 1 :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
Yeah I already have an sd card in it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
And your battery % increases with screen off doesn't it ? :silly:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sydius08:
Running Shabby's 10/20 build. Everything works on it so far. Only thing I'm noticing is a battery drain from the Android OS. Its taking up about 65% of my battery. Checked BetterBatteryStats and it shows "kworker/u:" followed by a number taking up a big part. Checked CPU Spy and it shows that something is running at 200MHz. Went into Gsam Battery Monitor and it shows that the kernel is taking up 65% of battery.

Other then that its a great build. Everyone keeps talking about VroomVroom and how great of a build that is. Really thinking about trying it, just hoping that it won't have the data crash (grey signal bars with 3G icon) like beta 1 did.

Edit: Trying the VroomVroom build. Very fast, very smooth. Only bug I notice is I get black tiles where my pictures should be. Never had this issue until now ahaha
