My device isn't capable with ANY decent app?

[volvo802]

I flashed cyanogen mod and I cant get any applications.
heres whats on my phone:

CM mod vs 9-201200628-experimental-epic4gtough-alpha6
kernal vs 3.0.15-sph-d710.ff18-cl663858 se.infra@sep-113 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 18 2012
build number c,_epic4gtouch-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76L eng.chris41g

I think my CM9 dload wasn't the best or something, as battery life went way down as well.

Can I just save another CM9 download to anywhere on my SD card and reboot to the recovery mode and select the new one off my sd card?

step by step directions always help, I am still a bit of a noob

Thankyou for your time!

Welcome to AC!!

What do you mean you can't get any applications? You don't have Play? If you don't have Play, you need to download the APK and install it.

Did you flash gapps? When you flash a CM rom you have to flash a Google apps package with it because they aren't included, meaning you won't have the play store, Gmail, etc. There's probably a link for gapps in the op of the thread you got the rom from.

As for battery life, that's a common issue with our CM builds. Doubt it has anything to do with your download. If anything, check what apps you have running and syncing, but I wouldn't expect as good of battery life as stock no matter what you do.
