You can use Odin or Heimdall to flash any of the modems available (look for the modem thread for downloads, should have instructions in the OP as well)

Some people get different results from different modems, so you will have to experiment to find out which one works best for you (this could be due to slight hardware differences, location, etc. - the exact reason hasn't been determined definitively). Logically, one would assume that a newer modem would work better, but that isn't necessarily the case.

EDIT: I went back to re read your original questions to make sure I was on the right page... I might get the pandora app to test it myself, haven't used that app in nearly a year. But I have experienced some issues with app updates recently, and I believe it could be a network issue - my friend is on Virgin Mobile (Sprint's network), and has noticed a severe decrease in data quality lately. Also, I was at his apartment the other day, an area which has good 4g coverage most of the time and always had a great 3g connection... but my phone kept dropping to 1x the other day, and 4g would connect but I couldn't actually connect to the net.

In fact, has anyone else had any similar data connection issues recently? Maybe Sprint is performing maintenance that is interfering...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
Well if they'll work with this ROM, I'll have to toy around with them and see if I can get any different results. Thanks.

OKay, on a side note. Are there any other kernals aside from Genocide that will work with this ROM? Or that are available?

I'm using the Revolt kernel from the ERA EC05 AOSP thread. Very smooth with SRF 1.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay, perfect. I'm gonna give that a kernal a shot. Do you have any issues with facebook? I know that sounds silly, but my lady is down my throat to get her FB working again. Ha.

And I got the pandora working, it was juice defender that was causing an issue. This isn't my phone so I'm trying to learn as I go, and figure out what is causing issues, and what isn't.

Is this compatible with the TW4 lockscreen (SFR-TW-LOCK.zip)? I just gave it a shot and am getting all kinds of weird errors and endless loops, so I'm guessing not..

Default lockscreen kept showing "Android Creative Syndicate" as the missed caller, and "Missed Call" as a missed txt! (edit - glass lock issue? possible to switch to other lockscreens without flashing them?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] LucJoe:
About to take the plunge, will be flashing on top of 1.1.1 and will report back on success.

Default lockscreen for 1.2 bug with missed calls?

So I recall it being mentioned that one of the lock screens was not working properly. Did it happen to be the default one for the ROM?

Here is a screenshot with the notification of a missed call in the center of the screen of the default lockscreen for me.

The alignment being off is a bug, which I hope gets looked at if not known about already. My question is: What is the purpose of having "AndroidCreativeSyndicate" there?

I'm all for you guys putting your name on your work, but if that was intended (placement, etc)--it's a bit gaudy IMO. Hopefully this is taken as constructive criticism. ;) Still love the work the team puts into this project.

BTW: Completely smooth upgrade from 1.1.1. This was by far the most hassle-free flash I've gone through. (Hits the thanks button on OP)

[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
Is the Vibrate/Silent/Ringer patch being incorporated into 1.3? If not, is it safe for me to flash this or will it screw up any framework.jar tweaks already on 1.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I did it using terminal emulator -

remount rw

cd /system/etc/init.d

rm 10-mountfs

cp /sdcard/download/10-mountfs.txt ./10-mountfs <-- I had to save it as a text file, this command copies it from my download directory without the txt extension

chmod 0755 10-mountfs

remount ro

This remounts the system partition as writable, deletes the existing file (you may want to cp (copy) it somewhere to have a backup before doing this, just be aware that it may not let you copy TO the sd card because of file ownership - if you get an error, put your copy somewhere in the system partition other than init.d to be sure both copies won't be ran at startup, then use a file manager such as root explorer to move it before returning to terminal to remount as read-only).

Next, the cp command copies the new file into the current directory (the ./ refers to the current dir, shorter than writing the path, but make sure you're still in /system/etc/init.d). Chmod sets the correct permissions, then you remount as read only again to protect the system partition (don't forget to move your backup first, if it became necessary - although I think my issue might have another cause from other tweaks)

The key is, I did this before rebooting into recovery for the flash - init.d is ran at startup, so it won't break anything by doing it in this order.

Too soon for me to give any review of the kernel, has anyone else been running it for very long yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Yeah, 4 or 5 days now. It's great. Snappier. He thinks it's the Ext4 cleanups.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Definately snappier for me. And it may be my imagination, but I think the HW keyboard is even smoother now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Sounds good :)

One thing I have already noticed is the lock screen - on Genocide, it would occasionally be unresponsive for up to ten seconds. So far, it has responded instantly now :)

Hopefully that trend will last... It could be because of the fresh cache wipes, but I'm fairly certain Genocide showed that flaw even after a fresh wipe and flash (I'm not going to flash back just to find out, at least not so soon)

EDIT: hadto testg the keyb oard... By god, it IS snappier - I can't type fast enough to skip a key, even when I ignore my mistakes (the keys ARE pretty small compared to my thumbs...)

I left my test string exactly as it came out for demonstration purposes - I missed the space bar, it didn't skip, then I bumped it in conjuntion with 'b'... all the keys I intended to hit are present, and then some :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Ok, I've been running this with the Genocide 2.0 for a while; just noticed I'm not able to connect to 4G? Anyone else? Any advice?

I am in NYC and I KNOW this is a 4G zone!
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I'll test it tomorrow if I find myself up in the 4G coverage area, but I don't think that issue would be related to the kernel.

However, there has been a lot of talk about the network vision, and I noticed that even 3G dropped out and left me on 1x in an area that has always had solid 3G and usually great 4G just the other day... so maybe you'll find your connection coming back stronger than ever before within a short time... hey, I try to be optimistic when I can :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Thanks! I'm a "glass half-full" kind of guy myself...

I'll try it again tomorrow and see what happens; I thought maybe it had something to do with the network. Aren't they going to make the LTE announcement on Friday?

copy the 10-mountfs file from k0nnane

Did this with ES File Explorer (Free) from market. Hope the instructions are clear enough. This is 90% similar to the other 2 instruction that have already been posted on here (thanks styles420, omair2005) I followed steps similar to theirs.

#1: Download new 10-mountfs.txt file here: www.mediafire.com/?gb8yjpb9u9sgsj (thanks sephiroth009 for uploading txt file)

#2: Browse contents of SD card and copy the newly downloaded 10-mountfs.txt file

#3: Browse content to System/etc/Init.d

#4: Delete the 10-mountfs file inside

#5: Paste new 10-mountfs file u had previously copied

#6: Long press the new 10-mountfs file n just deleted the ".txt" extension.

#7: Long press the new Mountfs file again and scroll down to properties and click on it. A new window will pop up. On that window, the top option says "user" and across are 3 boxes that say something like "readable", "writeable", and "executable". Just check all 3.

#8: Save changes, shut Epic down.

#9: Boot to CWM, Flash k0nane's Moded Twilight Zone Kernel

#10: Reboot

Done! :)

I'm running urban regen 1.1.1 and there isn't 10 mountfs in my system/etc/init.d/

Can I just copy it in there anyway or will my phone blow up?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Yeah, I totally forgot to put su at the beginning, my mistake...

But the file explorer methods are better in terms of user-friendliness - I didn't bother to try because of some error I experienced with a similar system file replacement months ago, can't even remember what it was... I recommend the other methods since they have been proven to work (thanks, guys!)

Also, I didn't make it to a 4g area today, so I'll keep watching the thread and report my results if still needed once I do get a chance to test

But the new twilight zone kernel had been running smooth and problem free for me so far
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
You should be fine without the 10-mountfs file then, k0nane mentioned in his notes that the 10-mountfs had to be replaced with systems that only had a 10-mountfs in the system/etc/init.d folder

Vibrate/Silent/Ringer patch[/URL] being incorporated into 1.3? If not, is it safe for me to flash this or will it screw up any framework.jar tweaks already on 1.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Usually, its better not to flash anything over something that is already modified because most of the time that just breaks certain tweaks and Mod's. Its better to let someone who knows what their doing incorporate both tweaks/mods into one package so that they are both already included. I'm 99% sure that patch will be included, if not, I'm sure one of our great Devs will get on it soon after.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It would replace the framework... Meaning the version containing the tweaks (and theme) would be replaced with another framework. You would need a version of the tweak that has been edited into the SRF version of the framework - if someone has put one together.

Flashing ANYTHING that involved modifying the framework doesn't "screw up" other tweaks that modify the framework.

Picture it this way - you create a text file called test.txt, that contains one line - "This is the original file"

Then, you create a second file with the same name (in another folder, for now), that contains only one line - "This file has been modified"

If you were to copy the second file into the folder containing the first one, your system would ask you to confirm whether you wanted to replace the existing file with the new one (or, in Windows, you can also "keep both" by having a number in parentheses to the end of the new file).

If you then open the original text file, you would find that the original line ("This is the original file") is nowhere to be found, because you did not merge the two files - you replaced one with the other. Try it, it's not nearly as difficult as making a flashable zip for the phone, but it works the same way.

So many people ask this same question... If it is that hard to understand this simple concept, perhaps they should rethink modifying their phones? At least until they learn more about how computers work

Need some help regarding Yahoo Email and Su Binary update?

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, BUT I'm running SFR 1.2 and I wanted to post it her in case it's related. Out of no where, I started getting FC issues on Yahoo EMAIL. So, I cleared the data/cache and tried to ad my account again, no luck. It said, can't access that mailbox. So, then I started to get a message for an update. Something about SU Binary? if someone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The developer of su stated on his website that the binary cannot be updated if it is installed in /sbin, because that directory is actually a part of boot.img, which remains read only even if the system partition is mounted with read-write access. This is exactly how it is installed in SRF 1.2 (and probably all earlier versions, as well as several other Epic roms).

Rom developers will need to change the su install directory in order for the su app to be able to update the binary.

However, this shouldn't be directly related to the yahoo mail app, unless that app is doing something it shouldn't (root access is unnecessary to check email). The mail app issue could be a residual effect, but I doubt it...

I would recommend a fresh install of the rom if reinstalling the app didn't fix it, but note that the su binary problem will not be fixed that way - that will require an updated rom with su moved to a different directory
