News
- Big News! 6/18/2012:
- noobnl got the crespo4g modem (from the Nexus S 4G) to mostly work on Epic 4G, allowing CM9 to Update PRL and Profile natively for the first time! Currently it has stability problems that noobnl is attempting to fix. This is very experimental and unstable so no test builds are available yet.
- If public testing of the crespo4g modem on Epic 4G does commence, it will initially be for advanced users only. Flashing the crespo4g modem means you cannot use any other ROM on your phone. Even temporary stock from sdcard will no longer work. Users will need to know how to manually flash the crespo4g or Epic 4G modem with Odin or Heimdall in order to safely test the upcoming test CM9 builds.

- Update 6/12/2012: CM9 beta5-pre1
Changelog
- Fixed MMS sending.
- Switch from binary libsensor to source-built libsensor from aries. Theoretically it should behave identical to the old libsensor. Please report any differences you notice with sensors.
- Rescaled signal levels to fit AOSP's signal bar thresholds. It should be roughly equivalent to the behavior in beta4. Please report if you experience any major problems with signal bar behavior.
- The new CM9 boot animation featuring the Cid mascot is now included. If you want the old boot animation, download the flashable .zip from the boot animation page.
Tried to flash the rom and once I hit reboot from clockworkmod, the phone attempted to boot. The screen showed the galaxy s / cyanogenmod logo then the screen cut off completely while the capacitive backlights stayed on for the duration until I pulled the battery.
ReplyDeleteReplying to the black screen issue, this also happened to me on a kang I made... I will try this build soon...
ReplyDeletehey guys, I saw a os tweek on youtube called linaro (i think it was called), is there any way we can get that? supposedly getting double the performance.
ReplyDeleteLinaro, from what I've researched, depends on a lack of werror. Werror is in the current GB kernel we are using, haven't checked into 3.0 kernel. Not sure what else will be needed to use Linaro.
DeleteI second this. Would love to see this kernel tweak.
DeleteThe only thing i don't like is when i take a panoramic photograph. When I go to the gallery, all the Panoramics are at the end, instead of with the others (sorted by when taken) (this is not directly related to this beta, it's been like this for the past couple of builds). Probably due to the renaming of the photos to have IMG/PANO at front.
ReplyDeleteSince flashing this I have not run into the issues I had with Beta 4. I was having some reboots while using GPS in Maps, times where leaving Maps would not make the active GPS icon disappear, & poor signal where it wasn't poor prior to Beta 4. This update has crushed all those bugs for me as far as I can tell
ReplyDeleteSo far this is good. Once the light sensor hits bright light, the screen brightness comes up like it should but doesn't return until I unlock the phone again. At least for me.
ReplyDeleteDue to the new libsensor, you might try going to Settings -> Display -> Automatic Brightness and check "Allow light decrease" to get the function that you're used to from the old sensor. This seems to operate more similarly to other devices using the opensource sensor code.
DeleteI have battery charge trouble since I updated to beta-4. I am using the same apps and approx the same time frame, but the battery life is half of what it was. Need to use my phone and do not have a charger while am walking around, any help would be great. If I need to change the kernal to help I will. Just installed the beta-5 pre-1. Will give that a shot tomorrow and see what happens.Like the updates keeps me courious, like the fact you want to keep improving the whole CM9 experience. Other people make ROM's then are finished. Keep up the great work!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hard work. I see that a new libsensor is used, does this mean that all 8 sensors are enabled again?
ReplyDeleteSo far i love it just a few issues...
ReplyDelete-Auto light sensor doesn't seem to work properly.
-The Video Camcorder does not work with the LED(nor the panorama view)--light should come on for those functions if selected .....
-Battery seems to drain a little faster then b4 but livable.(half-3/4 a day with little to no use. Sits next to a sprint airave)
**Home screen: you should be able to remove the screens that you want(1 from each end). If you change it to 3 you then have to make 2 the main page and then you have to rearrange all the desktops sense it doesn't auto shift
Trebuchet?? assuming the launcher has locked up/Forcequit but doesn't auto restart...had to reboot phone.
-Love the new browser options much easier to navigate everything and add new tabs!!
**The forceclose as the back button is nice...might want to put safe guard for the main functions of the phone(if it doesn't already)
*Thanks for getting the front notification led working!
Amazing everything save for the wifi tethering. Doesn't seem to work. I had the same problem on all the builds before but on the last one, beta3, I did something (although I can't remember what) and it got it working. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteBackup and wipe may be in order. I lost calendar syncing a few versions back and it worked for me.
Deletei just installed cyanogenmod for the first time, so i'm not sure if this is a bug in the release, but when using chrome the software keyboard doesn't work, only the hardware keyboard does. tried to install another keyboard from the play store, but it didn't fix the issue. any sugestion?
ReplyDeleteIt's a known bug, but from Chrome, not Cyanogenmod.
Deleteslection in roaming is not staying or dont seam to be anyway. Change it and go back in and it is back on home again ?
ReplyDeletethanks
I had the same issue until I updated my modem. I went from EC05 to EL30
Deletethanks will try that
DeleteAnyone having the issues where you cant turn on the bluetooth from the dropdown menu and have to go to the settings to get it turned on??
ReplyDeleteThe icon half lit up but never really turned on....sense forcing it on it has been happy tho *Shrug*
Oh and still not able to send pic msgs...has been that way for the last few builds....
ReplyDeleteHaving issues with stock message. Will close out of message screen when replying, and touch screen keyboard will stop working. Have to exit to home once more to get back to normal. (Fresh install B5 pre1)
ReplyDeleteI have been getting the error message voicemail has unfortunately stop working
ReplyDeleteMms sending issue
ReplyDeleteAlso experiencing Mms stopped on beta5-pre1
ReplyDeleteTHNX for the MMS fix.....MMSTEST2 version of CM9 working fine.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed this latest update seems to be running faster and smoother so far I haven't had any issues with it either,but for real this has been the best yet what else as been added I'm loven it. :)
ReplyDeleteHave lost ability to tether with CM 9 version 4. Will 5 improve this or is there something else I should do?
ReplyDeleteLast two updates my geocaching paid app opens but won't locate anything the free app c:Geo works fine flashed back to 4 and everything is good bit not as smooth and fast as this 6/16 update.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hard work.
I'm sorry, I flashed back to 3, the geocaching app didn't work in 4 or this 6/16 update.
DeleteAlso lost wifi tether ability.
ReplyDeleteAlso having issues with sending MMS. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Thinking it could possibly be a network issue cause my Sprint signal at times can be spotty. Also, when updating CM9 do I need to reinstall gapps in CWM5 as well? Wasn't sure since it states we don't have to wipe in between updates. Kinda of a newb, but I feel like I've figured it out for the most part. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteNo, you no longer have to reinstall GAPPS if you don't wipe data
DeleteAre nightlies automated now? If not, are 0617 and 0618 stable? Thanks for all the work, guys! I'm still on Beta 4, but had something really strange yesterday. After taking a picture with stock camera app, I locked the phone and put it in my pocket. Within less than 30mins, the battery dropped from 70% to 19%, and shut down. After that, after charging some,I rebooted, then I lost the key click and lock screen sounds. I've tried just clearing cache, then I tried reflashing B4. I will try to flash a different rom then come back to see if it fixes it.
ReplyDeleteYou guys ate awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo with the crespro4g modem working(ish) on epicmtd, will we be able to use crespro EK02 or FE10 basband versions? I don't know if that would even help with anything at all, but I'm sure its good for development. Running nightly 6/19 stress free 4.0 on 2 sph-d700. Thank you for doing what you do!!!
ReplyDeleterunning good no issues two questions does a rom have any effect on signal or is it all modem and lock screen slider shortcuts large they were small in beta 4 anyway to change
ReplyDeleteWHOA... whatever happened with the latest nightly (6/21) but things are very nice. Quadrant went from 1350 to 1495. And my ping on my wifi and 3g is lowest i've ever seen, ~60ms and 160ms respectively. using FC19. Normally im around 115ms for wifi and 200ms for 3g.
ReplyDeleteRead this post, then tried 6/21. Totally agree that this is really good! My quadrant is 1521 and phone is very responsive!! Battery is pretty good too. Getting a full day out of an Anker 1800mAh battery. Good job!
DeleteI'm assuming the nightly builds are auto-built so there are no change logs for them, correct?

DeleteGoogle visual voicemail playback from call log no longer functions on latest release
ReplyDeleteI second this... still works in google voice app, but is broken from the call log.
DeleteRunning 624 build, first nightly I've had any issues with. Received a text during a phone call and phone started vibrating every 2 seconds and would not stop til I hung up. Moving on to 625 Thanks for all your efforts!
