Do what you just did for the nightly. Honestly start fresh be safe about it.
I've always done it the long way (Odin EL29, CWM, CM7, ICS ROM) because it has always worked for me. I think you can also do it that way.

Edit: Whoopsie, I updated my sig but haven't flashed yet. I have the ROM down but waiting on gapps. Curse you slow gapps D/L!!!1!
been stuck on the "restoring" screen for a very long time...anyone else?
NM..powered off and rebooted just fine
I love the way it automatically restores about 90% of my apps, like good old CM used to a long time ago!

Ok can someone set this straight for me. Codename Rom is basically an AOKP kang with TCP's own set of extra features and flavor on it? Either way, looking forward to these nightly builds. Thanks for everything TCP and Cidica for the thread!
That's the beauty of nightlys things get added and break
u never know what ur gonna get Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
CODENAME is a totally different ROM. It's not based off of AOKP at all. Do a search on xda for CODENAME totally different it's a Source Build Rom
Ok I get you, sorry I've never heard of it before til now. I was just kinda confused since it kept being mentioned in the AOKP thread. Will be flashing the latest nightly soon

Yeah it was talked about there cause that's where it originally was dropped to a few people. When the AOKP thread was moved to the dev section both kb and myself made threads we just split them up is all so no more confusion.
I've run both installing the new nightly for codename and I was on codename a1 since it was dropped. Both are good however either one would work for me honestly.
so similar yet so different lol. both are great and stable. i found cna a little smoother. bout to do a clean wipe and flash my first nightly

19FAQ
So here is a little FAQ for the CODENAME ROM by T.C.P for the Epic 4G Touch. This will be updated with new information as time goes on.
First of all please read and make sure you do follow the install instructions fully. There have been people that have bricked their devices by trying to use ICS repacked Kernels to flash this rom and or backup/restore please read and follow the instructions.
Q: Does Video work?
A: NO it does not. It will record and show up in the Gallery but it will be blank and will not play. The long answer It won't work for sometime so Even with a new build don't ask unless notted that it's been fixed.
Q: Can we update over a previous CODENAME Build when a new ones comes out?
A: Yes and No. There is a way to do this however it DOES NOT work for everyone this is why it's not a well know thing and not posted in the OP in the Dev section or in Discussion thread in General. If you do a bit of searching you will find it but be warned for some it does not always work.
Q: What's the Difference between CODENAME and CM9/AOKP?
A: More/Different options as the CODENAME site says "We do not want you to think you are using anything other then stock" there are tons of tweaks that come standard with the rom. Look in Settings/Interface as well as Settings/Advanced Testing just to get and idea.
Q: Market is giving me an error when installing apps (941/ect. errors)
A: Settings/Apps/Google Play Store/Clear Data This sometimes does resolve the issue. If that does not work Try uninstalling the update and letting it reinstall.
Q: When I try to install an app from the Play Store it errors outs (SD issues)
A: Try hooking the phone up to the computer and mounting storage and reinstalling the app/game in question.
Q: Lockscreen Wallpaper does not work.
A: Known issue no known work around unless you have purchased version of Widgetlocker from the Play Store.
Q: Is SMS/MMS working?
A: Yes it does work. However some people have had issues with it in the past and currently also. The best bet is to install GO SMS Pro from the Google Play Store.
Q: Can we update Profile/Prl in this rom like CM9?
A: Yes and No. CM9 while it does have the option it DOES NOT WORK currently. CODENAME has the option to do this also but like CM9 it does not work either but it's being worked on.
Q: Can I use Rogue repacked Kernels with Codename?
A: No do not use TouchWiz based kernels unless they have been redone for this or another AOSP rom as things will break.
Q: When I use the Dialer it does not show my contacts as I start to type a phone number.
A: Open Phone hit Menu/Settings/Dialpad Settings/Enable T9 Dialer
Q: LCD Density does not go below 240.
A: Use Rom Toolbox for this if you want it lower. however going below 190 has caused the Phone.apk and other things to crash.
Q: Does 4G work?
A: YES!
Q: The modem (cwm flashable) hangs on flashing.
A: 2 ways to fix this either try and flash it again and it could work. Or use Odin and place the phone in download mode and flash the modem.bin in the PHONE option via Odin. Odin is honestly the best way to flash modems as it 100% always works.
Q: How do I find off pulse notification lights?
A: Settings/Display
Q: I can't get my GPS to lock.
A: If you can't get GPS to lock at all (this does not mean things do not show up in GPS Test since they are not going to) One of the few ways to do it is go back to a GB Based rom (El29 or so) boot up the rom turn GPS on and get a lock. Once you do that flash CODENAME or any other rom that you want WITHOUT turning off GPS and you should have locks once you are on a custom rom.
Q: Can I turn off the Menu Lights at the bottom of the phone?
A: Yes Look down below there is a file to do it. Flash this after you flash a new build or you will have to Odin back to the EL26 repack in this thread and do it that way but you must flash back to the Stock kernel that comes with Codename.
This FAQ will be updated as time goes on and issues that are found have either fixes or work around.
Screenshots and Video are in post #4. Thanks to elliwigy for the video.
Code:* Your warranty is now void. * * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Install instructions for CODENAME
Code:Installing for the first time: - Make sure you're running a proper working CWM like the one from CM7 - Boot into Recovery - Flash CODENAME zip - Flash Gapps - DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (as sometimes your calendar sync will not work) DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM or the assert script will fail - Reboot - Don't restore Apps using Titanium Backup! (Some users have been able to do this. This is left here just as a warning however if it works for you cool me know) Or -Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel via ODIN/Mobile ODIN -When phone begins reboot, Hold Power + Volume up until boots into recovery. -Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik cache -Flash ROM -Flash Gapps -Reboot (Please Note I do NOT use this method for installs. However it has worked for other users in the past so I am putting it here since it could cut down install time/upgrade time.)
Updating Kernels if/when they are released (if there is not a repacked rom or a new rom with the current Kernel)
Code:-Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel via ODIN/Mobile ODIN -When phone begins reboot, Hold Power + Volume up until boots into recovery. -Flash ROM -Flash Gapps -Wipe Data/Factory, Cache, Dalvik. -Flash Kernel -Reboot
