Root [ROM][4.0.4][BETA] CM9 for Virgin Mobile and Sprint 10/3/2013

When I try to download the zip from sdcard I get an error in Emmc/ the zip file (status 7). Is there anyway to fix this?

Everything I've read said wiping battery stats is a "old wives tale"...

I think that is usually true but my phone was reporting completely incorrect %. It dropped like 10% in just a few minutes. Other times it stayed on the same % for an hour. It was dying after just a few hours with little or no use.

I wiped the battery stats and it seems to be better for now.

Which recovery are you using? Status 7 is usually a recovery error, updater script error or a build.prop error.

Well if it worked that's great, one universal truth battery life has always sucked on android. Ever since I had a G1 it was the biggest complaint (aside from storage)

I'm using cwm v5. I used it to install sleipner. Do I need twrp? I've heard bad things about it. It is a build prop error. But I'm not sure what that means

Performance is amazing, mine craft, angry birds have never ran so smoothly before. Sluggish only when I back out of an app the icons on the home screen take a second to appear but over all performance is out standing from the stock rom

Yes you need to update to twrp or CM6 both of which work well.

Thanks. I just went with twrp since I figured it would be easiest and it went really smoothly. Had it running for about an hour now. So far so good. Much better than some other rooms I've had.

 

[Bluntmagic95]

So basically I will eventually have to switch from cwm 5 to cwn6 or twrp?

Yeah 5 doesn't always play well with ICS and certainly not JB.

Download jrummys cache cleaner from the market and set it to clean every hour. Disable animations. Disable sync and background data to free up additional resources. Play with your clock speeds, governors and schedulers. Keep in mind this is still a beta build and there are still bugs to squash and refinements to be made.

I had the same issues. I was about ready to throw my phone out the window. I'm back to gingerbread for now..

Is WiFi Hotspot/Tethering on the 'fix list'?

Never really got third party WiFi Tethering apps to work at all except for Barnacle - and that was very inconsistent.

im having the same problem with this party apps I did get one to work once but it only showed up as adhoc and my daughters tablet don't support that

Hey, has anyone experienced a problem connecting two phones running this ROM to the same router? I have one for everything, wife has one for internet, Facebook, games, etc... but we both can't be on the wifi at once it doesn't totally disconnect just allows no traffic to the first phone after the second is connected

 

[atraum]

Atraum try flashing the file starkraving posted. Worked a champ. Its post #1855

Thanks for the suggestion, not having mms problems but I might give this a try. It's usually only about a 3 second delay so not that critical. I also notice it does it when I open the stock messaging app for the first time. The threads all have #'s and about 3-4 secs later it populates the names. After cached the first time no issues or delays on subsequent opening of the app.

I only see a link for twrp here, not cwm6 zip?

 

[DankVader]

Is the gapps on the front page the newest usable one, or is there another one?

Check the Bluetooth addresses for both phones under about phone. Back when I had the Optimus V there was an issue with this on CM roms.

It was because the Bluetooth address was just coded into the rom unlike wifi mac address is hardcoded. Since it was softcoded it was the same for all phones running the rom.

It took a dev to create a zip that assigned a random address based on phone serial.

If both your Bluetooth addresses are the same it's the same issue and the address of one of the phones needs to be changed

I'll look into that when I get home, could it still cause this problem if both phones have Bluetooth turned off

I've followed all the steps as faithfully as I could. Now I've got the cyanogenmod9 screen with the angry blue creature floating in blue ether while his chest pulses. It just sits on this forever. I don't know if this is the 'fastboot' but I reset it through qpst just to be sure, but nothing changed.

Any ideas on how to get this thing working?

 

[ProtusMose]

I tried to do a factory reset hoping it would undo everything, but that seems to have fixed it.

Try reflashing it. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik-cache(twice).
Re flash ROM. Then flash Gapps. If it stays at boot animation(blue guy) again restore your back up(if you have one. It is very recommended[if you don't have one download another ROM and flash]) and re download ROM and gapps.
