Re: [ROM][EPIC 4G][CM9] CM9: CyanogenMod v 9.0.0-BETA-4
I am having issues with my corporate email. Once I get everything setup my email runs nonstop using 40%-50% of my cpu making the epic hotter than crap and draining my battery very quickly. I have tried changing the sync rate and even turning sync off. Still the same thing. The email app is running nonstop. Once I delete the account everything goes back to normal. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Have you tried a different email app like K9 or MailDroid? Exchange by Touchdown works good for exchange servers, but it costs $10.

I've been rooted and on CM9 for moths now couldn't be happier.
For my work exchange mail I use the stock email app.
For my other 6 pop accounts, yes 6, other less important business and personal accts I use K-9 and jjst check mail manually when interested. I don't look at it every 5 minutes so why sync that often.
Last but not least Ihave gmail for my seldom used gmail acct.
Go ahead and root upgrade to CM-9. Its scary the first time but it's not that hard and there are plenty of people here that are always willing to help. (THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!!)
I get pretty good battery life too.
I even rooted my Nook , what a difference it made.
Now have a Transformer Prime aged gett ing ready to take the plunge there too.
It's fun and you won't regret it!

CM9 begins a Code Freeze..............info here:

The code freeze will not affect bug fixes and such..........am hoping that this portends a coming Release Candidate build.

I (finally!) just received my new epic frome Sprint. I am going to install ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 and CyanogenMod 9 ICS today, but should I activate my phone and put my phone number first or wait until after I do all this installation?

Re: [ROM][EPIC 4G][CM9] CM9: CyanogenMod v 9.0.0-BETA-4
Get yourself up + running first, get your connection w/ Sprint activated +established, then your connection w/ Google established making sure the phone is able to make calls / receive calls, voicemail, etc.............make sure data works, emails, messaging, etc, in fact make sure EVERYTHING else works to assure yourself that the device is 100% operative FIRST.
..............then go ahead + run 'Update Profile', 'Update PRL' from your settings: menu/System settings/About phone/System updates/UpdateProfile+UpdatePRL.
If all your basic stuff works, you're good to go!.....may the ODIN Gods be with You!!!
Any questions, there are plenty of good knowledgeable peeps on this thread to help you along

Re: [ROM][EPIC 4G][CM9] CM9: CyanogenMod v 9.0.0-BETA-4
i'm currently on beta4. i had problems with MMS after initially upgrading to CM9. (I use handscent if it matters). Anyway, when sending an MMS it would take a ridiculously long time (like 15 mins instead of the normal 15 seconds) to send. Now that I have beta 4 it doesn't seem to send at all (let it run for a day before I finally deleted the message).
I don't know what the new build stuff means and I don't want to install something new on my phone that only advance users who know what they're doing can fix.
What does "Type" mean on this page CyanogenMod Downloads and do one of those builds fix my issue?

Your MMS issue was an upstream issue that has been completely fixed with the build from this post:

The link on your post refers to the Epic CM NIGHTLIES (posted a similar page a couple posts above here, w/ detailed Changelogs for the ?berCurious amongst us!)........Nightlies are full CM9_ROMS, albeit each release slightly different than the last, + these are experimental in nature + accelerated releases that ultimately will land CM9 on a Release Candidate status.
Nightlies ARE perfectly stable for use, + you are encouraged to flash your DownLoad same way that you have been doing w/ alphas + betas: Your choice either you wipe cache/dalvik cache or NOT/ your choice whether you flash GApps after or NOT/ Just FLASH right over your current CM9 ROM! (Am currently running Nightly0618.
)..................if there are issues w/ your ROM, you simply re-DL the file + wipe data/factory reset THEN flash your CM9-Nightly, + THEN flash your GApps zip, then boot to system............if you run into a Soft-Brick while flashing a Nightly, then your only recourse is the 'back-to-stock' method using ODIN (a quick handy tutorial is posted on OP at bottom of links.)

Ok. I'm a believer.
I watched QBKING's video and it looked pretty easy. Last night I downloaded the CM and GApps packages and pulled the trigger. I admit it's pretty cool.
In case you're a n00b like me and thought this was something that you didn't want to hassle with, I can assure you it's pretty easy. It turns out that I do have the proper recovery console installed. If you rooted and "stopped FC09 notification" based on instructions in this forum, then you have the things in place to accomplish this.
I did a full titanium backup. I did a nandroid backup. I installed appbak, sms backup and call log backup and ran those. I watched the video. I downloaded the CM package and the Google Apps and moved them to my SD card. Did the full wipes from the recovery console. Installed CM from the zip. powered down and installed the gapps from zip. When it came up, I added my google market info and then downloaded the appbak thing. But I dont think I needed it. When I went into titanium, it showed all my old apps from before with a line through them. I just had to touch each one and "restore". If you use that app bak, you just are linked to the market where you can download it again> But then you have to remember the passwords and everything. When you use titanium to restore app and data, it's configured the way it was before. This was good for my weather app that requires a login which I forget and life360. I have no idea how to configure that one from scratch.
The look and feel are very cool and snappy. Most of the old apps work. The paid ones are still the paid versions, so I didn't lose anything.
I am assuming that if I wanted to, I could restore the nandroid backup and it would be just like it was yesterday. Is that right?
Anyway, I don't foresee going back. I dig this.

No, do "not" restore that nandroid. Cm9 runs on a different partition table than stock. If you restore it you will soft brick your device. You must first odin to stock with the pit file and repartition checked in order to return you to the stock partition layout and file system. Then you can flash recovery and restore your backup.

There are several threads here + there that are discursive about the subject of the BML/MTD conversion, + the potential for a Soft-Bricked device..........*ouch* no good!
Here's a little backstory about the conversion from Stock BML to the MTD Partition System, + a detailed 'HOW-to-UNDO-a-SOFTBRICK'........just open the following link + scroll all the way thru the post towards the bottom.................the post contains some some very valuable information for our newer members experimenting with CyanogenMod for the very first time:

It's very important to use ODIN for clean installs, as it always flushes out potential conflicts that embed themselves into the firmware somehow............anyways, hope this helps!

Interesting. Since all I did was wipe and install cm9 from zip on my sd card, I wouldnt think odin would be required to go back.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement program manager widget? I used the gb one pretty often to make sure I didnt leave an app running in the background by hitting home instead of backing out. Most common are task killers which I dont want.
