[ROM][EPIC 4G][CM9] CM9: CyanogenMod v 9.1.0 -Stable

[Zeinzu]

The bugs I know of are as follows: Some minor Bluetooth issues when the screen is off (won't connect, won't end calls), auto flash only works if you toggle flash on then back to auto after each reboot, led doesn't work for video recording, focus doesn't work, video messaging doesn't work, viewing slide shows in messaging doesn't work, and WiFi always sleeps regardless of set policy.

It's not the worst list ever, and now you know what to expect.

Nice, thanks man. I know searching the thread will give you the gist of it, but as most of us know not every little thing makes a post just really because we don't wanna worry the devs to death, especially if it's stuff that's manageable. Still very jealous of you guys though. Seems like a pretty sweet rom!

I just got a Galaxy Nexus. First thing I did was put pure stock Android 4.1.1 on it (not a carrier or custom version, just pure Android). It runs flawless, not a single bug, no broken features, smooth beyond anything you could imagine.

Yeah Im an idiot! As soon as you said that, I looked right at the big fat AOSP 4.1.1. Wow I fell asleep on that one. Sig immediately went right over my head earlier.

Hey y'all. Just wanted to say thanks for the great ROM. It's made my EPIC 4G into a new phone! Also wondering if anyone else is having problems with the Amazon App Store with this ROM. I searched and couldn't find any mention of any problems, so I'm guessing it's a problem other than CM9 RC2 with the latest nightly build installed.

This may not be news to others, but I just noticed that CM7 has a stable release for the Epic. I've been waiting for a stable CM9 release, but since CM7 has one now, I'm wondering if I should move to that. How hard/easy would it be to go from CM7 to CM9? Is a full wipe / hard reset required? If so, I may prefer to wait for CM9's stable release, which hopefully won't be *too* long since RCs are out. I assume I'd need to reset before going to CM7, so I'd rather not have to do that twice if I can avoid it. I don't really like dealing with hard resets; they're not horrible, but I still think they're a bit of a pain. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I don't do that much with root/ROM and am mostly just trying to figure out how to keep my phone sharp until I upgrade it; the earliest I could do that is the fall, but I'm also considering holding out until the next Nexus is released, so I might want to hold on to my Epic for some time still. Thanks!

CM7 still has bugs. HD video recording skips being one of them. They just slapped stable on the package regardless.

Actually now that I think about it, just use this link http://forums.androidcentral.com/ep...read-rooting-samsung-epic-4g.html#post1568588 You can just use Odin. You don't need to worry about a command prompt for this

 

[icewater106]

But odin only works for pc right ? If I had a pc I would've been had this phone rooted lol

Does it? I actually though I remembered that it wasn't just windows based but maybe I'm wrong. Ok well never mind then. Back to the drawing board

Edit: I just remembered that when I did it, I was running windows inside virtual box...so no it doesn't work with straight Linux

Re: [ROM][EPIC 4G][CM9] CM9: CyanogenMod v 9.0.0- RC2

A stable release of CM9 just came out. That's basically what I was waiting for. It looks like it's an MTD build, which I think was required for ICS. I'm pretty sure that with my old MostlyStock ROM, I'm not on MTD right now. If I install CM9, would I be able to restore a nandroid backup of my current ROM successfully? Or will the change to MTD mess that up? And does anyone have advice on how to smoothly move to CM9 from an old Gingerbread ROM like mine? I'd prefer to lose as little data as possible, but I think a full wipe can't be avoided. So what's the best way to keep data or get it back as quickly/easily as possible? I don't do too much with root/ROM, so suggestions that will help me avoid problems or messing up my phone would definitely be appreciated. Thanks!

I finally rooted my phone it was so simple. I want to install cm9 or the most stable stock ics Rom that has with no bugs. Does cm9 has any bugs ? and i am about to use titanium back up i got the free version. Should i buy super user and get the paid version of titanium back up for free ?
Do i need Rom manager ?

Your backup will be fine switching between roms. The thing that effects the backups is changing recovery. Even then all you have to do its restore your backup, then flash your new recovery, and then redo the backup and flash the new rom. If you aren't changing recovery though that's really not necessary. Titanium backup is good to backup all your apps and app data. Go sms will take care of texts, and Google will backup contacts and passwords, etc. Just be sure not to restore system data. That causes problems when switching roms.

I didn't intend to change the recovery on my phone, so it's good to know that I should be able to restore a backup from there successfully. I remember reading that once you go to MTD you have to be careful about installing a BML ROM later. I wasn't sure how that applied for nandroid backups. But if I can restore one of them without trouble, that's good to know. I can come back to my phone's current state then if I don't like a new ROM for some reason.

Titanium backup is good to backup all your apps and app data. Go sms will take care of texts, and Google will backup contacts and passwords, etc. Just be sure not to restore system data. That causes problems when switching roms.

Right, I know Google handles some things basically automatically, and call logs and SMS records are easily restored with some apps. Apps themselves aren't so bad either; in the past, I've usually just reinstalled them all (or what I wanted to keep) from the market. It's the app data I'm wondering about. I think CWM has an advanced restore option for data only; would that be OK to use when changing ROMs? I have both Titanium Backup (free, right now) and MyBackup Root (free also) installed. Is either one better or easier for restoring backups? I haven't had to use either one for that yet. Thanks for your help.
