U wanna help beta the next build?

The adw thing I've just noticed. Going to work on it for next build. Think it has a lot to do with the version I am using.

System is not r/w all the time. Just checked that.

Market is the latest version. New icon, new settings.

Messaging is the latest from ei22.

I'm removing acs updater. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm also removing the duplicated bootanis. Oversight, thank you.

Also removing the conflicting stagefright entries. Ty.

:) very helpful post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Big Update Coming. Built from the ground up.

Rogue Processes Vanquished.

Extended Power Menu!

Removed all thirdparty apps for a clean clean clean install [besides ADW]

Fixed Colors Matching.

Fixed Build.Prop.

New install script will backup your data, convert to ext4 and attempt to restore your data.

Removed Bootanimation Completely. Stock Android Ani is present.

Pending Results, this will be the last update for a little while. Don't see where else to go from here. This rom's mission is to give you all the necessary performance tweaks you'd like, and expect in a solid custom rom. Updates will come as performance ideas are implemented. Thank you all for your support.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
4G works okay. Ping: 104 ms, Download: 5.3 MG, Upload 1.4 MG

24 hours of usage, getting a lot of FC's just wiped caches x3 and fixed permissions and they seem to have subsided. I know there are some fixes on the table, hope that they take care of it. Thanks Starsky for building such a sweet ROM.

Hey anyone having problems with visual voicemail verifying account information?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
MMS transaction failed!

I have encountered an issue today:

"MMS transaction failed" - when trying to recv a pictured in the stock messaging app.

I have been searching around XDA to see if I can find a fix. Has anyone else had trouble getting a texted picture?

Thanks

EDIT: going to install v1.4 and retest the MMS. Installed v1.4, still have the MMS issue.

EDIT-2: I installed Handcent and I can recv MMS texts without issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
GPS just borked. Was 8 of 8 this AM and now, nothing. Not a dev so I have no idea why.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Op Updated. Rom Updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Just an observation...

202 MB is awfully large for a minimalist rom.

;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Yes it is. However I have everything included in the install so that you may come from a full wipe and be fine. Also, I havent removed any languages because I don't want to cripple the experience for anyone. If you have any suggestion as to what should or can be removed, let me know.

PS.

RandomROM was always on my EC05 Top list ;}
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
can I flash this over 1.3 or should I wipe data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
You can absolutely flash over, it will backup data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Loaded. QBench: 2585, 4G DL speed 5200, UP: 1K, GPS and 4G work. Its all good. thanks, this will be my DD for a while.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cam3ron1:
Why does visual voicemail not work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
I'm also getting 2500+ QBench's. Also, 4G error was on my part. Saw it over on IAP's Kernel thread. Seems wiping all data and starting fresh was the fix.

This will also be my DD for a while. Thanks Starsky!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
I am actually getting some 4G cut out and a coupla FC's that Ive never seen before. Mail app? The 4G will lock up and nothing can get through and it doesnt step down to 3G< if I manually shut off 4G, then 3 G will kick in and I can re-enable 4G. Thats all I can see so far...4 hours in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Did you wipe data before flashing? If not goto the app that's force closing in manage applications and clear data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
I did not wipe data going from 1.3 to 1.4 - you said I didn't need to.

Its the email app. BTW, it had no data when I opened up 1.4 - had to reinstall my 3 accounts today.

I will try it clearing data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrooklynsFinest:
I am also having 4g cut outs... Coming from a clean install with wipes.

Otherwise excellent rom. any way tchange lock screen?

Also I can't change boot animation. It says something is not found.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I just installed this kernel; WiFi would work for a few things then stop working. toggling wifi on and off would make it start working again, but then after a few seconds it stops again.

It is better using the IAP kernel though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Still getting FCs after clearing data. Any ideas? I only added a yahoo account.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Found a bug:

Seems I get an error when trying to download MMS txt msgs

I get "HTTP 403 error: Forbidden. Retry soon"

I retry, hands for about 10 seconds, and gives me the same error. Can anyone else confirm?

EDIT: Seems to only happen on 3G and 4G, MMS msgs download over Wifi with no problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I was having this same problem, I installed Handcent and I no longer have that problem. I prefer handcent over stock anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phirewire110:
When can I get an RFS version?

Been wanting to try this out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
nubekernel allows for RFS; after installing the rom you can use EXT42RFS to go back (because the rom auto converts to ext4) from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109362
[Epic 4G Android Development] phirewire110:
Trying to download EXT4 version but seems like it's down.

Rob said the RFS version would be uploaded today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phirewire110:
I'm getting a keyboard force close when trying to change input method.

I wiped, flashed the rom, flashed EXT2RFS twice already.

Gonna try a third time.

Cannot stand the Samsung keyboard.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
i think you should wipe, flash the rom, then boot up.. then reboot into recovery and flash rfs
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
my fast forward and rewind buttons don't work on vid player
[Epic 4G Android Development] sephiroth009:
Starsky, when you do a theme can it be black/red? I think it would look pretty badass (plus selfishly those are my favorite colors)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Glad i could help! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Sorry about the delay uploading the RFS version. Trying to write and RFS autoconvert script. Then i finish it, and my dsl connection cant handle this upload. UGH.

I'm having cable installed saturday, finally.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Will you be making a minimalistic theme in the future for this ROM? I heard many are just waiting for the 6 lock screen mod to be ported over but I just wanted to ask to be sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Absolutely. Waiting on 6Locks, Volume Rocker.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Alright guys to solve the wifi issue it has something to do with data ! I had the wifi issue two times since I've since the 1000 times I have flashed my phone.in the last couple of days and a data wipe, and reinstall solved it each time... so if your having issues with wifi wipe your data but remember you will loose all of your data, o and trust me I am looking into the cause of this issue...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mookdawg7:
Second that, force close when trying to change text input method. Have tried a clean install, no dice. Need to play around more probably. Just wanted to add notice from another user.

Also discovered another bug...does not seem to charge when powered off.

Tried two other GB ROMs since EI22 dropped, really liking this the best so far Starsky! Thanks for the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Android keyboard fc confirmed. All others working
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
Update worked very good. All system data restored. Only had to use Titanium to restore a few apps. Memory usage has improved. Benchmarks are higher with both quadrant and AnTuTu. GPS locates fast. 4G works good.

I use a minimalist browser ZEAM and I can get too anything faster than any other ROM I have used, and that has been a lot going way back. I dont overclock so I imagine I could make this thing blinding in the transition department. Widgets are instant on boot up. I uped the screen res. to 200 also no effect on output. Ill go through build prop to confirm my preferences.

Great Job on this ATABOY.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrooklynsFinest:
4g still not working for me. Connects but no data transmitted. how do I fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
so does this mean we gotta wait 'til Saturday for RFS version ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
You could always install ext4 version, reboot, flash ext42rfs.zip!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
true ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
I wipe data before install and still had bad wifi. Flashing the iap kernel fixed mine. But every time I tried using the nubkernel I had issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Is anyone else having issues with 4G after using WiFi?

Its happened on all 3 EI22 ROMs that I've used. It looks like 4G is working, but it won't get out of idle. Then WiFi usually stops working as well. Don't really think its a ROM issue, more likely modem, but thought I'd ask.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
experienced the same issue. Seems like user data is what causes it. For now the only fix is to delete all user data and start clean. earthbound said he'd take a look into what's causing it, so until then a clean wipe is the only fix
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Kernel update to nubernel. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
So both nub kernel and samurai kernel break my wifi. Only rebirth will keep my connection constant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Try wiping data and starting fresh
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
Ok before i flash 1.4 I need to be absolutely sure that this no wipe flash will mean all my data will be saved and just be flashing over the existing 1.3. I dont want to bother flashing this when everything is running stable for me if I have to reload everything again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
You will be good. It backs up and restores the data automatically.
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
I've tested with multiple flashes and wifi only has a constant connection with the one kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrooklynsFinest:
For some reason data mode gets disconnected every time I plug my phone in to charge. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] shmutzig:
Does this include the mod so camera will work below 15% ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
First i've heard of this. I'll look into it asap. Sounds weird.

Next update [i hope]
[Epic 4G Android Development] shmutzig:
cool - I'm loving this ROM. Is there a way to bypass the nubernal boot image and go straight to a custom animation?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
The nubernel boot image is integrated into the kernel source. His source code is available online if you so choose to compile your own kernel using his sources, removing the boot image.

Short of that, no, unless you flash a different kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I switched back to the nube kernel; I was helping confirm that HBO Go doesn't work on Samuari (which it doesn't). I flashed the latest nube kernel and HBO Go works.

I also went ahead earlier today and wiped 3x and setup my sh!t backup. So far it looks like it has helped the wifi (that and perhaps the new version of the kernel)

I didn't reflash the rom, I just went into ACS Recovery and did the pre-rom wipe selection, I ran it 3x. Booted to system and reconfigured my phone.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

ohhh; good idea. I just setup ubuntu VM; that would be a cool small project to dip my toe in :)

i'm going to get my UVM all set up to be able to do compiling tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
For some reason this took incredibly long just to scan media (system and SD card) at start up. Dead slow. Also home soft key does not work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SkepticalOptimist:
Great rom. I was on SRF1.2. This is my new DD. 1.4 did not work for me though. I did a full wipe then flashed. Everything works except for email. FC if you try to read email while it is still downloading. I rolled back to starsky 1.3
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
I'm going to look into the email bug. Strange.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Once again i'd like to thank you all for your support, testing, reports and your suggestions.

I'd also like to take this post to thank the dev community for their work on everything epic, keeping this great device alive, and making our experiences so great.

Lastly, I'd like to announce that starskyROM will be getting its own site, dedicated to nightly (or close to nightly) beta's, confirmed working mods, links to older versions, themes, a suggestion box (sent straight to me), and a bug reporting form. Also, I'm going to be teaming up with some devs to be working on an app for starskyROM that will poll for updates, and allow you to send bug reports, ideas and suggestions straight from your device.

The launch of these two projects will be sometime next week.

A fully transparent source for the rom will be up on git sometime next week as well, as I'd like to keep this ROM fully open. This will include the code for the updater-script, a full list of apks, tweaks and files included in starskyROM and a link to the kernel's source.

Thank you all for starskyROM. You're what makes this successful. Over 600 downloads of v1.4 (both old and new compressed versions).

Anyone with website coding experience who would like to help build starskyROM.com please let me know.

Anyone with app building experience who would like to help, let me know!

My 4g does not work at all. Any help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Whoops u got a free thanks from me :p anyways, I've heard flashing earthbounds kernel fixes it for some reason. Either that, or a FULL wipe remedies it as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrooklynsFinest:
Thanks. For some reason texts keep during up in my logs anyway even street logs provider fix. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
4G works for me.

Earlier today before switching to the newest nube kernel (I was using samuari). I went into recovery (I am using ACS) and did a pre-rom wipe. ( data, cache partition and dalvik)

Rebooted to system and setup my phone again; wifi and 4g has been solid since.

EDIT: switched back to Samurai 1.0.3 - 4G still works
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
I like the old clock apk better

[Epic 4G Android Development] mistabusta:
Only issue I've had with this ROM is that both of my phones were left overnight and this morning, neither of them would come out of sleep mode.

Any else come across this yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I had this; nube kernel (which is the kernel the kernel used by this rom is based on) has the lowest cpu speed setting @ 100. Which is known to make some phones unresponsive to a wake up. Use something like setCPU to set the max and min levels; use 200000 as the min setting (most phones can't go over 1200000; though ppl are reporting 1440000 is working with no issues)

EDIT: There is a free app called Voltage Control that does the same thing as setCPU.
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
Ok I found an issue with email in 1.4. i keep getting force closes when I access my inbox. i tried re-installing/ wiping/changing email apks/ clearing data but still a no go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] punzada:
Using 3 POP accounts I haven't had this issue myself. Does it crash immediately after setting up the account?
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
So did a full wipe double install of rom then flashed 1.04 iap and my wifi and mms work again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Hows Battery life compared to SRF 1.2? and is IAP Samurai compatible with this like there really is anything twitching or glitching, what kernel do you guys prefer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
I've found it to be almost identical to SRF 1.2 (I get about 16+ hours with moderate use, 2.5 hours screen time). Also, seems earthbound's Samurai Kernel is being used a lot lately, as many say that it fixes the little wifi bugs all our EI22 builds are having. Also, it has the ability to OC to 1.44ghz so many ppl are jumping over to it just to have the option if they ever feel the need to OC. Bottom line, I would recommend *atleast* giving earthbound's Samurai Kernel a "test drive" ;)

Edit: Hey Starsky, I saved a logcat from a FC on my the Email.apk It might help u pinpoint the reason why its always FC'ing

http://pastebin.com/KnebzdFd
[Epic 4G Android Development] mistabusta:
Thanks. I use No Frills CPU and did as suggested. So far, so good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Glad that helped :)

edit: I meant to ask if there was a theme that worked with this rom? I'm not a fan of green (unless its in my wallet).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
At the moment no. Most themers are waiting for the 6 lock mod to be ported over before we get themes up and going. Starsky did confirm he would be making a minimalistic theme for this ROM though, so expect it short after we get the 6 lock mod ported ^_^
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Ah, thanks I recall reading that now; see what happens when you have CRAFT?

Guess I'll pull out the framework from the rom and swap out some images to hold me over :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Nope 1.44GHz is pretty stable now but 1.49GHz is a little iffy the only problem I have encountered with 1.44GHz is if you set it strictly to 144, so 1.44/1.44 on performance when the thing goes into deep sleep it will only go up to 800 until you reset the settings in your freq manager of choice...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
yeah; 1.44 was supposed to say with no issues. my bad.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
;) It's all good !
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Looks like I will need to try this rom out sometime.... hell, I have tested them all today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
I should have a beta of the IAP Rebirth rom up tonight or tomorrow, set aside Kernel development for the day to work on the rom...
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
What happened to dropping down the notifications bar when during in a call. no i cant like i used to back on 2.2. and i noticed a bit of lag when i open up apps and i have to manually end them, to gain memory back? is this memory leak everyone was talking about sorry i havent been on XDA for a bit and just uploaded this rom and Samurai 1.0.4+
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
How did you go about installing the ROM? Did you restore data??

Most weirdness comes from either not wiping data, partition cache and dalvik 3x each before flashing and/or restoring data.

Both can cause some off the wall experiences. It is always best to not restore data to ensure you're not pulling in something that won't play well with the rom you've just installed.

It takes a bit more time, but you should always manually setup your phone afterwards. In the end you'll save time by not having to chase down this type of behavior.

Good luck

How would I change the overscroll glow from green to red?
[Epic 4G Android Development] luckymoney718:
Nice fast Tom but I'm disappointed. In the battery. Life think I right have to switch to a different rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Yea I don't restore data I was originally on Srf 1.2 EXT 4, and like qbking77 said its fine if I just pre rom wipe which is wiping all caches, and system data too and after. I just use. My backup pro to restore apps and txts is all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
HUH ?!?!?!?!?
[Epic 4G Android Development] luckymoney718:
This rom is fast but the battery life is not to impressive
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
For me the battery life improved a great deal after running the rom for a few days; the phone seems to have to learn how the battery will be used. I am on 40 hrs off charge and still have 65%; that is with a doing a 3 backups and flash of kernels and 1 restore. (after a bad download of latest AIP kernel)

This rom is really working well for me!

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

For me; I had Odin'd to 100% stock EC05. I was trying to help get the OTA update.zip. when someone else got it. I copied that update.zip to my sd card and updated my phone to 100% stock EI22.

Then I did the rooting instructions and flashed this ROM.

Maybe try going that "root" .. err method. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] EpicNewb4g:
I just noticed recently, while getting to a low battery with my starskyromm epic4g, i decided to turn it off and charge so it can charge a faster. But upon plugging in my phone to the wall charger with stock charger and wire, i noticed the phone wont charge while off. I used to charge like this in previous froyo rom. Is this an issue with the rom itself or maybe the kernal or etc.. ? Just something I noticed ... not too big of an issue but would be nice to get it working properly. awesome rom nontheless
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
1.5 is in beta right now. Lots of great adjustments. New app. Hotspot hack. Lots of good stuff coming as soon as I get some test reports from my betas
