I'm sorry if its off topic but my question keeps getting ignored in the acs ics thread. How do I get a 4g toggle on acs ics, going through the whole settings menu is annoying every time I want to turn on 4g. With the scrollable task bar I thought they'd have it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
Create a gesture for the 4g setting in your launcher. Your question wasn't ignored. You just didn't seem to listen to the above workaround when it was said it couldn't be added.

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] sephiroth009:
Adw won't let me set that gesture. It only goes as far as "scroll up/down for settings" not any deeper into it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
If you can't figure out the gesture part, then your other options are this:

--Flash the zip in that massive thread that restores the non-scrollable pulldown. That will bring your 4G toggle back.

--Flash an older version of ACS ICS. I believe 5.5 was the first one that removed the 4G toggle. I think a lot of people liked the 5.1 version, so you could try that.

--I guess a thrid option would be to flash another ROM. The ERA one is pretty solid and what I'm currently using.

Agree with the guys saying jump to EI22. You won't ever look back. Acs ics and era legendary are both boss as hell and faster than srf ever dreamed it could be. I am not exaggerating when I say I basically have a new phone going from ec05 to ei22.

Wasn't sure where to put this but here looked as good a place as any. I recently flashed frozen 1.2, I am very pleased with it so far. The only problem is that sprint is trying to push the gingerbread update and it's annoying is there a way to stop this? Thanks guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
If you have Titanium Backup Pro you can freeze system updates.

Or so I read... I was very pleased with SRF 1.2 but that update pop up pushed me over the edge to try the GB ROMS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
If that doesn't work, install "anycut" from the market and use it to put a shortcut to 4G settings on your desktop.

Have you tried FOTAKill.zip? This worked for me, although I couldn't flash it, I had to unzip it first and then copy the FOTAKill.apk file over into the system/app directory and then it worked.

The zip file link is somewhere here in this thread I believe.

When GB is as stable and glitch free with everything working than I will. Curious, which GB rom are you running where everything works perfectly with no glitches?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Legendary Rom 2.1 w/ the included kernel. No bugs at all.

/temporary sig
[Epic 4G Android Development] csmasn:
CleanGB 1.0

Shadow Kernel 1.0.2+

No ramdom reboot, nothing. also Marcus Revival is good too! Just give it a try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Correction: Marcusant ACS ICS 5.5 is good. Revival rom crashes all the time for me. Subtle differences. ACS ICS is a great rom, but marcusant is no longer hosting it.

This author, on the other hand, has not posted since August. We've been "promised" a new build months ago saying "coming soon".
[Epic 4G Android Development] csmasn:
ACS ICS 5.5 was good too. I just change Revival because I hate red. Your crashes may be if you restore data, I don't.

[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
I feel sorry for you! Try cm7, or miui. Much better options imo. Plus 1.3 won't be groundbreaking. You have probably seen most, if not all, tweaks, mods in the ei22 roms. That said, I wish the best for 1.3 release
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
If your a 4g guy just try any of the other ei22 roms (not cm7or miui becuz no 4g) legendary is great so is..... um.... actually they are all pretty good and have something to offer for dif peeps
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Sigh...

As mentioned before, SRF stands for SyndicateROM Frozen, which would no longer apply to any future builds as frozen is indicating Froyo. SRF is dead. K0nane was the original creator of SyndicateROM and is no longer a part of the project, so any release will, sadly, not *truly* be a SyndicateROM. Also considering the fact that he is not a member of said Syndicate, it wouldn't be named that if he were to release another ROM.

When MysteryEmotionz took over the maintaining of SRF and updated to 1.2, it was a glorious day for us Epic users to see the next incarnation of such a wonderful ROM. I truly hope someone in ACS can meet the excellent standard set by k0nane and Mystery to produce an amazing ROM. I'm partial to the SyndicateROM mainly because I've been with it since the beginning, but I would say marcusant made some really outstanding ROMs after the restructuring of ACS that could compete with SyndicateROM, but again unfortunately he is no longer a member of ACS either.

I know chris41g is an outstanding dev, but also a busy man with other things to attend to outside the realm of android development. I know it's hard but have patience as I believe one day we will see another excellent SyndicateROM.

But seriously, stop asking for it like you are entitled to it. I'm sure you've been waiting for a while now but so has everyone else, and exclaiming your impatience in this thread is not helping anything.

So ya don't expect SyndicateROM Frozen, expect a new iteration of SyndicateROM. I'm drunk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I need to find out what the deal is because my 1.3 tester smashed 1.2 on battery life and was a bit more snappy. I don't know what its called but its worthy of the SRF name. I know some of you have contacted me about it and I am trying to get some info because Chris has high standards when it comes to releasing anything. His kernels are the best on the Epic Touch and he made them without the phone. He made one from my phone on TeamViewer. He did an amazing job on 1.3 and it'd be sad if it got lost in the wash of the official Gingerbread, CM7, and Miui. All it needs is a touch of theming and its done. I ran it the last month I had my Epic and I couldn't believe how well it worked. That being said, let me see where things stand because I still have my tester and I would use it tomorrow if I had another Epic that soon (If I wasn't moving this week I would have one already). If I see some posts showing interest, I can see about getting it released. Hell, I will maintain the thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] themow:
Im still running it and its flawless
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
I feel ya.. I loved SRF 1.2, but now with the latest GB kernels and Roms, it is a leap forward. Battery is about the same, but I could give the nod to GB, but the smoothness in animations and transitions you get with the latest kernels is amazing. The phone is litteraly fluid. Please give it a try, you can always go back.

Waaaah!

We dnt have a "OG Epic Only" ACS Dev anymore :(

Mystery got an Admire, and Marcus left ACS.

Now Chris is our only ACS Dev, but he's lending the Epic Touch users a hand lately. But, he's an awesome Dev, I'm sure he'll ressurect a GB variation worthy of the SRF name! :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
With more and more people moving on to MTD, wouldnt it be sort of pointless to bother with further development? Please understand, I loved running SRF-Genocide, but it seems like years ago and has only been a few months. Just this past weekend I made the jump to MTD. For me, going back to ext4 would be almost compared to going back to stock. My thinking is that the delay is due to the fact that the ROM will now be an MTD ROM.

Keeping my fingers crossed and waiting!!!

+1 for making our old phones useful.

I did something similar to my wife's HD2 when she got her E4GT. I took a AOSP Android ROM for the HD2, stripped out the ril service from the kernel,removed the phone and contact apks and modified the launcher so that the phone button launches the camera instead of the dialer. Now it goes nine days standby on a full charge instead of the pathetic 12 hours it got before. It's now a mini tablet computer for the my kids.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Thats I did but I even went as far as using cdma work shop and qxdm to modify the modem even further. So the modem only searches for wifi. I striped all the phone functions so no dialer, contacts, or ringer volume controls. The volume rockers r for changing tracks. So on n so forth. I'm thinking about fiberglassing it into my dash n ditch the pioneer stereo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
I seriously want to see a video of it in action. That sounds really cool.

Sent from something with a Ｋモ尺れモㄥ.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
The modem has nothing to do with the wifi. The ril is the only thing in the system that interfaces with the baseband. All you have to do to disable mobile radio is disable that service (which is started from /init.rc)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
The modem controls the radio n there is a wifi radio and a cdma radio. To achieve what I wanted not only did I have to make changes to the kernel both radio had to modified. If u see my phone there is no mention of sprint or ever being a cdma device. You goto settings about phone there is no signal strength, network, or prl options. There is no option to update profile or prl in options. I even removed the meid/esn. Again unless if you knew better you would think my epic was a mp3 player from the factory. Its very similar to the samsung galaxy player or wtf its called
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Now why not post the MP3 Player ROM? Come upgrade time, this has always been my plan.

-Sent from my Random Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Its a thought I'm pondering but the chances of bricking the phone r great. Also once converted you'll never be able to use it as a phone ever again. some of the things I did are considered illegal ( or atleast the way I removed the esn/meid )
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Well I don't know about 'illegal', at least, once you've finished your contract you own the phone now matter what Sprint might want to say about the matter. As far as never being able to revert... you really went all out with that one, didn't you? :p

Maybe not going that far would be a good idea for most users.

Still, phone removal, modem disabling, and god-forbid volume rocker repurposed to track skipping... this sort of an "after-life" rom is in the back of my mind. I'm sure when their upgrade time rolls around there are many who'd be interested in an option like this as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
It is, illegal to do anything to the to meid/esn n the method I used to remove them can be used to change them.

Hmm, I still want a video of it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
There is not much to improve the audio other then using voodoo sound. I want to look into using beatz audio like the htc rezound but I think thats hardware n software so there ain't much I would be able to do. The mods r u the same as any rom. Its sfr 1.2 except gb, mtd, the **** mentioned earlier, and maybe a couple other things I can't think off of the top of my head at the moment.

Can't update Market

I'm stuck on Market v. 3.1.3. It is in system/app.

Observations:

1) Under Manage Apps, the Market app always shows zero byte data and zero byte cache. This is unusual.

2) There is no "uninstall updates" option because there is no other Market version on the phone (data/apps).

3) I tried fixing permissions, no joy--market won't auto update.

4) I tried installing vending.apk from another phone. Upon installation, I get "Out of space", "Market could not be installed. Free up some space and try again". I am not out of space...

5) I tried mounting /system as r/w, tried installing again, no joy.

6) I tried copying vending.apk into data/app, it doesn't go...

I'd appreciate any help on this.

Cheers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
From what I read, he removed some files to get his epic to be just a media player. Some of them files are written back wth a efs clear. If not they could be copied from another epic back to the one he has. And can be edited to match the way it was before he touched it. I don't think he did any hardware modificaton. I believe it was just software.

Turn off data when not using it. If you do that, these things seem to go for days. Last time I did that, I went for 37 hours, and had 22% left. Stopping the Ormdrm service helps, as does turning off background data, and stopping Google Maps.

It depends on how your phone likes to flash. It's like a woman. It I flash a Rom, she wants a kernel to keep her battery going, but she also loves a battery recalibration right after. When I tickle her as such, she sips batteries like CapriSun and charges like a mofo.
