The EE03 modem is working excellent on the srf 1.1. Better data coverage in both 3g and 4g. Gps locks on quick too. Srf is too snappy fast to give up for lag I'm hearing from this stock leak. Waiting for ext4 gingerbread on srf. Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse6749:
Dumb question, but I never flashed a modem .tar file on my Epic. Can someone give me a quick guide how to do this. I wanted to try this rom. Do I just rename it from .tar to .zip and use CWM to flash it, just curious.

Thanks!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
If I remove bootani.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and replace them with a bootanimation.zip? Should it work with this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
No the modem has to get flashed with Odin put it under PDA section and make sure only out reboot is checked
[Epic 4G Android Development] bertm13:
to those having 3g network problems (no 3g icon):

try disabling/enabling the "data network mode" by holding the power button.

give it 30 seconds.

if that doesn't work, turn on airplane mode (it may take some time to shut off radios) then turn it off and wait another 30 seconds.

this worked for me earlier today; you may not always need to restart/pull battery.

I got that exact same score in Quadrant. Smart Bench was really horendous.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse6749:
Well I tried it and odin 1.61 gets stuck on setup connection :confused:

I feel like such a noob LOL!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
so unfortunately i'm gonna leave this rom. its obviously still too buggy to use. netflix will be coming to me with the official gingersmack by the end of next month i'm sure.

bugs and flaws i noticed should it help the community.

unable to forward texts.

crazy battery drain that makes no sense. i even wiped battery stats and everything. sometimes it drains, sometimes it doesn't. totally wonky.

3g service that decides it doesn't exist. airplane mode toggle will bring it back though.

4g service that sleeps and doesn't wake up. causes data freezes if i try 4g.

my actual phone signal seems to either be misreading or just plain isn't as strong as any other stock or rom i've used in the past.

seems to be it. if people are still intent on using EE03 i highly recommend hitting up midNIGHT ROM 6.0. medic does great work. :D kills the bloat, has everything fun from here, battery mod, nociq.

back to Syndicate 1.1.0 for me, but this time with the EE03 modem ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
on the op(opening page) you download Odin. also download the EE03 modem. you unzip everything in the Odin package. run odin.

make sure only reboots checked. load into PIT the "victory_8G_100528.pit" that came in the Odin zip. Then in PDA load "acs-ee03-modem".

turn off your phone. open it. hold 1 + power button. it'll go into download mode. connect your phone with data cable. click start in odin.

let the program run it'll go fast. congrats you know how to use Odin and flash modems + *.md5/*.tar files. :D the pit files are only really necessary when flashing a modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse6749:
I will do this when I get home in a few minutes. So far the rom is running ok on the EC05 modem :D.

Thanks!!!

Working really well for me, but it seems like the media scanner is having trouble reading the metadata on all my music, now a bunch of albums show as having the artist <unknown> in the music player app :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
wow...

i had some lag issues, i flashed the ported Touchwiz4.0 and this thing flies now....

i got it from here (because i kno ppl will ask lol)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081330

we will see if battery life improves, i did the battery calibrate thing earlier.. if battery doesnt improve ill odin and start fresh, i just redownloaded the rom just to make sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
holy **** thats some good battery, reminds me of my old evo with the 3500 seido lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] fami:
Used navigation for the first time on this ROM today. I had to run up to Mega-lo-mart to pick up some stuff, and opted for a location only slightly farther away than the closest store because I prefer the neighborhood. I'm positive I selected the correct location, but navigation went right on ahead and directed me to the nearest store anyways. WEIRD.

Yes, I updated Maps from the market as soon as I flashed the ROM, and no, even though I've been using Android since '08 on the G1 I have never seen this behavior before. The issue is probably app-centric, but I wanted to document it here in case the behavior reappears for someone else.

The other issue I've had has been an extremely flaky 4g connection. To be fair, on SRF I goofed around with the WiMax settings in hidden menu. I was really surprised to see that my changes had carried over to this ROM (thought it would've been flashed?), but even after returning the WiMax settings to default and rebooting the 4g connection has still been wonky.

4g has no problem connecting, and runs terrifically when it wants to run. Much of the time, though, I find myself staring at several different apps that refuse to connect to anything. Better Terminal Emulator won't open a telnet connection, the market gives a bunch of retry dialogues, and the browser can't find anything. This may be a Sprint/Clearwire problem, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] trickshot1126:
Ok so I completely effed my phone last night... I rooted yesterday and last night flashed this Rom and some add ons. While trying to get the phone to boot into recovery I was attempting different button patterns. I hit vol down, camera and camera all together. The boot image showed up and did not go into either the boot animation or recovery... now I can't get the phone to get past the boot image and when plugged in without being on the battery charging screen does not show correctly and does not turn off... it may be pertinent to mention the the battery was VERY dead when this started... I attempted to charge the phone overnight with no change to the situation. I CAN boot into download mode and will odin back if needed. Has anyone seen this or heard of this? If so how was this fixed... thanks for the help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] josegcordero:
Heu guys I think I found a work around for the camera wake issue. What I did was go in to settings--> applications--> development and uncheck usb debugging. then put the power button to put your to sleep and wait like 10 seconds. Push the camera button and see if it work for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
Bad flash?

Did you use clockwork 3.0.2.5 or w/e?

The steps I took to flash this rom was to use the EC05 rerfs rom to flash to stock

Then downloaded the flashable CWM update to go from 2.5 to 3.0.2.5

Then flashed the ROM, followed by no-ciq and then whatever other flashed goodies I wanted that equired the no-ciq

Such as the aosp lockscreen with haptic feedback

I'm actually happy with my phone!

I just wish my epic can be seen by computers. Not even a macbook can pick it up anymore so I couldn't flash the ee03 modem :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] trickshot1126:
Sorry I neglected to mention that it was up and running after I flashed the Rom and nocid... I was trying to boot into recovery to flash the tw4.0 launcher... also, do you usually have to reflash cwm after flashing a Rom? Because when I redownloaded Rom manager and hit reboot to recovery it took me to Android recovery not cwm...
[Epic 4G Android Development] eigerzoom:
from what i have read...rom manager is not compatible
[Epic 4G Android Development] trickshot1126:
It wasn't up until about 3 weeks ago or so when the developer updated it...

Daily Driver for Me!

Yup! And digging it!

Bluetooth has been the bane of my existence from the very first day I got the EPIC (2 days after release).

[Knock on Wood] It appears that major improvements have been made to the Bluetooth functionality. Connects to my car easily... and stays connected (I've been having trouble with using the dial pad in my car to dial the phone, EE03 is giving me, so far after 1 WHOLE day, flawless connectivity).

Using Launcher Pro and don't really have any lag.

Seems to have not such hot battery life for me. Actually bad... but I'm used to that and carry two (three if I can find the other one) extra batteries. I've just decided to not complain about battery life and carry the extras. But battery life sucks for me.... maybe something is going nuts in the background.

With where we are now with a leak... I can't wait for official GB and to see what the Devs do with it and the Kernel!

Cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] eigerzoom:
yes its my daily as well

battery life has always been horrid on my epic...

compared to a equally modified (rom/kernel/1500mah battery) of the evo shift ...battery life of this device is HORRID

had to double the battery with a 3500mah on the epic just to remotely compare

samoled battery savings MY ASS!!!

anyways...i'm happy with ee03...it works

though i'm using the eb13 modem (may try upgrading)
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Re the CRT mod... while the typical setup of the ROMs has been to have animations turned on (in the settings Settings>Display>Animation)... this was be default set for "No Animation". Flip this and see if it is working.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] trickshot1126:
Should you need to reflash cwm3 after flashing and rebooting this rom? I am in the process of restoring my half bricked epic because of something i did last night, that i have yet to figure out exactly what it was. lol... However, i had this rom up and running and was attempting to reboot into cwm w/ rom manager and it took me to "android recovery." If so, how do i flash cwm3 now?

I'm not new to rooting and flashing just new to doing on a sammy device... Which is completely different apparently than doing on an HTC device. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] know.patience:
wow, first off a big thanks to ACS for the ROM. Everything that I've tried works; GPS, Gtalk, CRT animation, haven't tried the radio. I'm new to this community but not to the boards. I just bought this phone about a week ago and knew it only be a matter of days before the warranty would be null and void. Everything is documented well and it was fairly easy for me to get up and running. This is a fast moving thread!

quick question, i can't find the commands for mounting /system rw in terminal so i can manually remove the bloat, what is the proper command and context for this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] eigerzoom:
trickshot1126

once again...rom manager is not compatible

you may have to restart flashing again if the 3-finger recovery method doesn't work

we need to start a collection to get amon ra to develop for this sammy device

clockwork is dumb

know.patience

i use root explorer app
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Titanium Backup, SDX Stock App Removal, or Root Explorer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] trickshot1126:
ok... Please pardon my ignorance. I'm learning sammy and i am mixing up info i must have read on another forum. If im understanding this correctly root explorer will reflash cwm3 for me once im back to ee03 rom?

I Think I am going crazy!

Cheers all. First a couple things. LONG post please read NEED HELP!

I have searched this forum high and low and no one else appears to be having the issue I am, in fact I have seen direct contradiction to the issue here.

I am not a noob, I have been flashing roms, using odin etc since I first started with Android.

Here's my issue. I followed the instructions to the letter:

odin to ec05. cwm. all wipes. flash rom.

then as I restore my apps via titanium I run into a very specific issue. I cannot use any third party launchers. Specifically Launcher pro is what i use, but I tried adw with the same results.

What happens is that everything will work fine then if I reboot it will get stuck in a boot loop.

I spent ALL day yesterday pinpointing to having something to do with the launcher. I would install a couple apps>reboot>no issue when I would get to LP boot loop.

After much of the night I couldn't remember if I had flased the new modem and got excited that that HAD to be why I was having all the issues, so for the second full time I did:

odin 05>cwm>wipe data/all wipes/modem/ try and reinstall stuff. I decided to reinstall only titanium and LP and the same thing happened.

I've also tried a fresh install of LP and new install of ADW.

I know this is a long post, but I wanted to try and give as much info as possible. I really hate TW and see that others are using LP without issue, so I am just not sure what I am missing here.

ANY help anyone can offer would be most appreciated

Thanks Much

Jamie

never ever use titanium backup! you are restoring crap that will just cause more crap. just reinstall your apps from the market or side load them.... its the only way! any real tech will tell you that.

Ugh, how is that possible?

Are you not using your phone at all?
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
You know you may be right, because yesterday night I flashed the touchwiz 4.0 and this rom flies now.

I recommend everyone going to the app and theme section and downloading it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rufflez2010:
oooo, ill try that.

It was overnight, but I did use the phone before hand. Normally, I'd be down to like 65% overnight here (good cell tower nearby, I wear a tinfoil hat to keep the people out of my brain). I've just noticed in the past day or so its been very good for me. I'm also not running any of the tweaks... just in case that helps

i noticed there is no MobileAP.apk in system

probably why tethering isn't working

guessing it will probably work if added back in and then do customary mods
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
I was the same way when I came from the hero!

Clockwork mod app is stupid. You have to manually go into clockwork mod recovery by holding camera+volumedown as it turns on

If you "reboot recovery" it goes to stock sammy recovery

Some roms have the ability to reboot into clockwork mod, but since EE03 just came out and new builds are imminent, I don't think the devs are going to waste their time doing it for gb
[Epic 4G Android Development] jamrich2:
Unfortunately titanium is NOT the issue in this scenerio. I've been using it since I've been using android and never had this kind of an issue. I am a tech. and a tech suggested titatium. As i stated I also used a fresh download from the market and ADW BEFORE restoring anything with titanium and both had the issue. In the other cases the only system data that was restored using titanium were bookmarks, messages, wifi points, and dictionary. NO other system data was restored. EVERY other app installed fine using titatium. So there is something else happening on my end that I was looking for help with.

To the user who suggested removing the other launcher, I haven't tried that yet. I will back them up and give it a try, at this point can't hurt.

Cheers Jamie
[Epic 4G Android Development] gsrboy171:
tethering does work. you have to be on 3g before anything, then when it connects to your computer connect 4g.

Random Reboots. Loss of modem

Just wanted to report back on my random reboots and loss of modem.

I did a complete fresh start last night but this time did not update to the EE03 modem. I kept the EC05 insted.

Thought things were going better but it just did a reboot and I lost all my data/cellular connection again. :( Thought for sure it was going to be modem related but it appears to be the ROM.

Just for troubleshooting purposes, this only seems to occur while I am at my office which has very weak Sprint signal and my phone often toggles between Sprint and roaming.

Just wanted to report I got Hulu working!

followed most of the instructions on this post:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/barnes-noble-nook-color/85811-how-stream-hulu-nook-color-other-android-devices.html

However you run into a few problems.

1) Flash is built into the system. I used root explorer to remove every bit of flash before attempting to install (search for flash and remove the bits one by one)

2) Flash won't install from sd card. Hook up cable and it seems USB debugging isn't fully working, can't communicate with adb through usb. Installed wireless adb from the market and pushed the app to /system/app/

3) navigate to /system/app/ with file manager of your choice and install it.

Enjoy!

Okay, so I probably missed this somewhere in this huge thread (LOL!), but I figured out what I needed to do to fix my broken GPS. I went back to modem EC05 and Odined a pre-rooted version of EC05 stock ROM directly afterwards. I then went outside and got a GPS lock for several seconds. Updated CWM to the latest version and then updated the modem to EE03 (while still on EC05 stock ROM) and got a lock again. THEN I installed the EE03 stock ROM and confirmed GPS lock once more.

Added all of the add-ons from this thread's OP and checked GPS again with success. Lastly, I pulled my data from my backup (just the data, nothing else) via CWM and tested one last time. GPS is working correctly now (or as it was before I did any of this, which I'm completely satisfied with)! :)
