Wow 3g is completely unusable right now. I know it wasn't like that this morning or yesterday. I am not sure if it is a network issue or modem issue. Let me put a post up and see what we find.

Just came back to life and is working good now. Hope it was just a network issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
Well, I used the pit afterall--too much of a hurry. I also let repartition checked (noticed it as soon as I clicked on start). Had to start it 4 times--moved usb cord twice and removed SD card (that's what finally did it) restored all my apps using titanium. But I think I ran the one with all apps and data. That may have been a mistake since now my gmail isn't synching and for the life of me I can't remember the fix from the last time that happened to me. I tried to clear data and cache, but both of them were greyed out. GPS is quick to lock, but using only 4 of 9 sats I was used to 8 of 9 before.

Other than that, everything seems to be working great.

Edit: Did a manual Synch in GMAIL all back to normal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Rockin and Rollin so far. Decent battery, fast and smooth, GPS locks very fast. Camera works fine both front and rear, Nexflix working perfectly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I had some serious data issues last night also but just after flashing it was fine and today it's fine. Also checked two other phones, Moment and Transform and also had Data issues so issues in my area are definitely not ROM related. It's Sprint and their garbage network. 4G was supposed to be here in Phoenix 4th quarter last year and we still dont have jack ****.
[Epic 4G Android Development] x130844:
ok, installed eg22.

there's still issues.

1) random reboot when closing the keyboard sometimes.

i deleted the keyboard counter app and SEEMS to help so far

2) the proximity sensor works (the screen goes black when the headset is close to my face), but the keys aren't fully locked, which means it is possible to still face dial random numbers, or hang up etc.

the solution to that is to turn the power off while talking, it will really disable the screen touch while the conversation is going.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
That is good to hear. Mine has been ok every since it came back to life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Marlinsfan88:
gonna feel like a noob asking this, especialy since ive done it once before a while ago buti cant remember for the life of me on how to do it. how do i get the texts out of my call log history but still show all my call history? itll only let me show missed, dialed or answered call history individualy or just show texts but i know there is a way to keep ALL call history and remove just text history from call log. sorry to be a bother =/

edit - also noticed if a change the setting to show certain calls or messages it goes back to showing all message and call history anyway

Hopefully this isn't obviously answered elsewhere -

what is the difference between Odin tar and Odin 1.85?? Also, if coming from rooted/deo'd stock EC05, is anything necessary before just loading the tar file??

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Odin 1.85 is the program you use to load the tar file. You don't need to do anything in advance to odin the tar. You might want to make a clockwork backup first just in case you decide it isn't for you and you want to go back.

how do I enable fly in animations on this rom?

Was able to do it on chris's ef02 plus.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iori:
Does the rotation delay still there like in EF02?
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
No delay for me. But I didn't have it on EF02 either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyteris:
Ah, you just had the link for downloading Odin itself directly.. gotcha. I'll definitely make a solid backup -

Now, speaking of which: what is the best way to make a complete, total backup? Clockwork or Titanium, or other? I like to save settings, call history, SMS/MMS.. BUT, just as importantly (and I have not been able to do this yet), VISUAL VOICEMAILS. As long as I can recover all this data, and also restore/merge messages I receive while trying out EG22, then I'm going to go for it.

THANKS

Keyboard lag

Is there a compatible keyboard speed tweak for this kernel? Im dropping keys like crazy. No luck searching for any keyboard tweaks for 2.3...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
You droppin keys or quarter keys? If so what's the goin rate pahtna
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Clockwork would be best. That way you can go back just like you were before if you decide you don't like it. But I would use titanium also in case you do like it and want to restore certain apps and data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
None yet. Probably not until we get official.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a_c_s:
There is a delay for sure, but in my opinion, faster redraw than I had with EF02 and EC05. I really like this new EB22 ROM and modem... I'm on stock for the most part, except rooted with Chris' tweaked kernel... this ROM is REALLY FAST for stock... I just froze the bloatware and customized as necessary... will probably just stick with this until confirmation Marcusant has a new ROM out and all the kinks have been worked out... I had a big issue on last few leaks I used related to vmails... I was missing them like crazy... now that I have visual vmail back and everything else (GPS, NFLX) works great, I don't want to screw with the setup until I know the chefs have worked out all the kinks...

I had a 2-3 second delay. I used the Calibration that comes with the phone and now it's almost instant. Give it a whirl.

Dunno if this has been posted yet, but when I turn my phone sideways & I'm in the menu, the icons get all jumbled and distorted. But when I turn it back upright, they're fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Which menu? I have tried to duplicate this but can't. I have tried all of the menus I can think about with and without the keyboard open.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SANZEN71:
Having the same exact issue here. Not really complaining since this isn't official so I just d/led Dolphin HD. No biggie. But still would like to get the browser working.

*On a side note customers keep asking me how to update to 2.3 when they see EG22. I have to inform them they cant have it just yet but it looks like we (Sprint) will be releasing it soon:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] houseofkrazeesstl:
I go to the main menu with all the applications and if i turn my phone sideways, icons may/may not get all distorted. If i turn it upright with the menu open, the icons may/may not get distorted as well. I have Launcher Pro installed, let me uninstall then try again.

EDIT: Removed Launcher Pro, problem resolved. So, do not use Launcher Pro with this (for now) until that issue is resolved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
you know its not against your policy to mention root and xda right? infact it might increase sale's and such. =P
[Epic 4G Android Development] Probaholic1:
After you removed launcher pro have you tried to reinstall it. Sometimes doing that corrects some issues it might possibly have? just a thought
[Epic 4G Android Development] fromchaos0646:
the only problem i have is that keys still skip, even with the keyboard speed mods flashed on. and when you go back to edit a word, the blue arrow that pops up goes to the end of the word instead of say, the middle.

i have supercharger script running. seems to speed everything. although rotation still has a bit of lag. im going to calibrate now and see if that helps.

edit: horizontal calibration most definitely fixed the lag. now when i rotate the phone, the screen rotates almost instantly.

So some of my games weren't working on this rom and internet was slow.. decided to reflash rom and different modem..

The exchange sync does not support my exchange server. It states that the security settings my server is requesting are not supported. I find this odd. Bonsai 4.1.3 (EC05) has no problem with syncing and I had no problem with it on midNIGHT. Does anyone have any suggestions other than using Touchdown, Moxier, etc.?

I have a ee03 modem do I need to switch to another modem or just odin this and run it? Thanks in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Your results may vary but many people feel that EC05 and EE03 are still the best modems to date. You can absolutely use it on this ROM but give it 1 to 2 days for battery to condition itsself and do a calibration as well. If after a few days you don't like how its running, try EG22
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtex06:
Thanks . I have been getting the connected charger indicator with other roms I have tried . Which were 2.3.3 leaked roms. Do I need to clear battery stats in the advanced clockwork menu or just give it a few days to setup. I could not leave the phone in the bedroom to charge it was driving me crazy. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
After you flash the ROM, charge to full and wipe battery stats then you should be good after the battery settles in...EDIT..well the full battery stat wipe is stated as charge to full with phone on, boot to recovery, wipe stats. Then power down, charge to full again and wipe stats once more.

Hey thanks again.

Hard keyboard lag is apparent with leaked gingerbread.....

any chance of a speed demon tweak like the one that came out for the Froyo roms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Not likely until source drops.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Holy crap. I tried EE03 for the first time and it is way faster than EG22. I was getting no more than about 300kb in either direction. On EE03 I am getting consistently over 1mb. Usually hanging around 1.5mb.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zeppelin481:
Two days of this ROM on my girlfriend's phone and it's been great. Battery lasted most of the day with heavy usage, instant lock on GPS, screen rotation is fast after calibrating (it actually worked on this rom). If the gf is happy and not *****ing at me, that's a good indicator. Huge difference from the previous Bonsai ROM that was on the phone which pissed her off on a daily basis.

On another note, I'm not sure why some people are hung up on the stock browser thing. I know people want it fixed, but let's not kid ourselves. It sucks. Dolphin mini is what the stock browser was supposed to be...

Can't find Busybox and doesn't seem to be rooted

It seems that this didn't come rooted or with Busybox, unless there is something else I need to do to make that happen.

First thing I want to do is get rid of some of the stock apps, but I can't do that without root and I don't want to root it if the tar already came rooted but I'm doing something wrong.

Please advise.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zeppelin481:
Do you see the superuser app in the drawer? Also, try typing su in a terminal app or try installing a root app to verify. If you odin'd this, I don't no how you wouldn't have root or busybox.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Yes this definitely has root and busybox. How are you trying to remove the apps? If you are using root explorer you have to select the Mount R/W first. If you are using terminal you have to do su first. In all cases superuser will popup asking you to give permissions. Give me some details on what you are doing and I am sure we can figure it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] arnaldop@cfl.rr.com:
Here's what I did to try to remove stock apps:

1 - I used the SDK I had downloaded and used when I had FroYo to remove those stock apps.

2 - adb shell

3 - su

That's as far as I got because it wouldn't give me superuser at the command prompt. After a few seconds it would time out and not give me root access.

My next steps would have been:

4 - One-by-one, move .apk and .odex files to a different location. (Actually, move doesn't work because it's 2 different drives so in the past I had to

5 - (Never did this step before.) Run pm uninstall to remove program data.

Thanks for the really quick response.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Once you type su in adb superuser opens on the phone asking for access. Did you see that and hit allow?
[Epic 4G Android Development] arnaldop@cfl.rr.com:
I never saw that dialog pop up on my phone, but maybe I missed it because Superuser is installed.

Additionally, Titanium Backup Pro is allowing me full access to its features, including a feature I didn't know it had: removing stock apps!!!

I'm on track now.

By the way, for everyone involved in making this ROM, it was so UNBELIEVABLY easy and straightforward I couldn't even believe it was done so fast!!!

Thank you!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Does anyone get the random freezes or reboots with this. Cuz I use the update zip and I get freezes like 3 times or more a day. Had to go back to froyo cuz it got to crazy for me. But I need my gingerbread lol. Any ideas??
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I'm guessing that there are no directions because you don't want someone who doesn't know what they are doing attempting this.

My $0.02- there should be basic directions for how to flash a ROM using ODIN.

Such as, which folder do we use [PDA or Phone]?

Can we flash a modem at the same time? Do we need to reboot after flashing one of them or just use a different session? Should one come first [modem or ROM]?

I figured out the basic answers, but not before putting this tar into the phone folder and having a temporary brick. (after the first question, I still don't have answers)

That is all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Happened to me for the first time just today. I was playing a game then it froze, went back to the homescreen, couldn't use the Task Manager (holding down the Home button) and eventually it just random rebooted. As long as it doesn't happen again, I'm fine. When I was on EF02 it happened a few times a week.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Ya I notice it happens when the phone gets hot and your doing a lot on your phone. I hate it cuz I need my gingerbread lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Lol weird, I wasn't really doing anything xD but ah well.

Yeah, I've considered so many times going back to SRF or just even stock Froyo. Thing is I need my Gingerbread too lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] arnaldop@cfl.rr.com:
I am having another issue and I don't know how related it is to this ROM.

I am using ROM Manager v4.3.3.0 (purchased) and when I try to get a new recovery ROM, the only phone options I get are "Galaxy S i9000" and "GalaxyS i9000 (MTD)". I'm using the Epic4G, SPH-D700.

Apparently there is no CWM Recovery 3.1.0.1 specifically for the Epic4G. The latest version for the Epic4G is 3.0.2.4.

How can I get 1 of the recovery ROMs that are out there for my phone?

SHOULD I even try to get another recovery ROM since I have a later one? Will a later version that is not specific to the Epic4G create problems?

ROM Manager won't let me do anything else until I have a recovery ROM for my phone and I don't want to pick either one of my options because they are not right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
I have been using this since it was released and have not had 1 hang or reboot. Maybe it is because of how it is used. Maybe it is app specific and I don't have any apps that cause a problem. I am not sure. But I can say that I have been using this and my theme with zero hangs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Yes it is pretty much assumed that if you are doing this you should already know odin. However, I did include instructions with the Odin 1.85 zip that are related to flashing this rom. Doesn't address modem or anything else because that doesn't pertain to this rom. I do believe there is a wiki on it somewhere though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Somebody correct me if I am wrong but I believe the only way that rom manager works is with a compatible kernel. I also believe the EG22Plus kernel supports it. I wouldn't downgrade unless it is absolutely necessary and do not use a recovery from another phone. It has to be for the Epic4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Maybe are u using any themes? I'm wondering if its caused by a theme cuz I was running madfogins theme. But then again I did have a lot of apps I think I will Odin this once I get to a windows computer and install 1 app a day see if I can find the culprit lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Yeah I am using my theme which includes the lockmod, 1% battery mod, crt, over scroll, wifi hotspot and ringer fix. I have about 40 apps installed right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Hmmmm I'm going to have to do some testing lol thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
If you want shoot me a list of apps that you are using. I can let you know which ones I have. That might narrow it down a little bit at least.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
OK cool ill do that when I get home cuz I'm on a 2.2 rom right now cuz I need to do a lot of navigating lol. But ya thanks for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
I use a bunch of apps too but no themes yet. This thing has been solid since day one of the release for me. Battery life sucked for the first couple of days but after that it has been awesome. Off the charger for 11 hours or so pulling email from one exchange, one imap, and one gmail all day, light texting, few speedtests and tapatalk usage...and still running at 75%. I even forgot that left wifi on all day when there is none available at work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Thought so. I couldn't find a wiki...

And that zip file that has ODIN in the OP doesn't have any instructions.

A Google search finds them pretty easily though.:eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
I just downloaded the zip file to confirm and it has a file called Instructions.txt inside which includes this.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).

1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder

2. Open odin

3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)

4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)

5. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Should be the sph-d700-****-8Gb-REL.tar)

6. Hit start. It will do its thing.

7. If it fails than try a new cable.

8. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Not only are you right, but I've been using an older version of ODIN.

I happily stand corrected.

[Epic 4G Android Development] arnaldop@cfl.rr.com:
Is the EG22Plus kernel in this ROM or is it something I should get separate?

At this stage ROM Manager thinks I have a 2.5 CWM Recovery, and when it boots to recovery it takes me to the stock recovery <3e>. (Additionally, when starting <3e> it tries to install a package that fails, but I don't know what it's trying to install.) ROM Manager won't do much else the way it is configured (only wrong phones are listed, can't load Recovery manually, etc.)

What do I need to do for ROM Manager to recognize that I have CWM Recovery 3.1.0.1 purple AND boot into it rather than the stock recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
This does not include the EG22plus kernel. You would have to flash that seperately. I think the kernel is all you need but I have not used it so I can't be sure. You might want to put a new thread in Q&A about it so that more people see it. Maybe somebody that has used it will be able to help you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
But nothing in there for what to check or uncheck. As I said a while ago, I inadvertently left repartition checked. It hasn't seemed to cause any problems though. I assume it's because it only repartitioned the internal memory and not the SD card since I remembered to remove that from before. And it did fail just like you said it might with it still in the phone.

But I too have had random reboots (only background apps running). GPS only uses half the satellites it sees. and the battery life sometimes absolutely sucks (today for example it is already down to 60% after not using it at all since removing it from the charger at 6:15 (4 hours ago) this morning. At times it is better than that, but overall, I'm pretty disappointed in it (the battery life). I have noticed the scrolling problem in the stock browser and at times dragging cards around in solitaire is very difficult.
