Can someone please link me to version 1.5 , I know he is working on 1.6 but I wanna try this rom out before then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Rom Manager
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
Its not there

Starsky you thinking of using the MTD Yaffs2 partition in future builds? Should we convert?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Lol you have an old version, im on CM7 and when i click on my rom manager and go to starskyrob it shows 1.4, and 1.5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Next rom will be mtd/yaffs2 or bml. Two options.

Ill be working on the final starskyrom (2.0) today. As starskyrom aims to be as close to aosp as possible while not removing twframework, there is not much left to do.

Cm7 is out and so my development for this rom will cease once this update is pushed out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Sorry about the delay. Lots of personal, professional and phone issues all at once.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
Thanks for the update
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
Thx for update man :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:

[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:

[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
I have rom manager free version. I do not see any Starsky ROM link under download rom.:confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Uploading tonight. Been testing on my epic all day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
thanks for the update, cant wait to try it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Silvrb6:
sweet ok thanks! cant wait!
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Holy Crap an UPDATE! OP updated with link.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
lol I know righttt

Just downloaded thankss man can't wait for it to finish so I can flash it lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
This is nice. Although I squeezed out a couple fixes to ShadowKernel since he packaged the ROM.. I would recommend everyone update to the current TW MTD version, which is v0.4 (I see v0.2 is included).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
i tried downloading this through rom manager, halfway through it said you need to have an sd card to use rom manager, and i did have it in, so its like it wont recognize it at all now i cant even get it to recognize in my computer, hope it didnt fry...
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Your SD Card needs to not be mounted to your PC. Reboot your phone. Make sure you're not mounted to your pc. Try again.

If all else fails download from link in OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
it wasnt mounted its just when i was downloading it from rom manager for some reason it suddenly said i didnt have an sd card, its like my sd card is dead now, it wont recognize in my phone, in a different phone, or in my computer, i have a backup 2gb sd card but i liked my 8 gig and it had a lot of stuff on it that i want :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
any ideas how to get my data off of it lol, it wont read in my phone, my old tmobile phone, or my sd adapter on my pc, or by hooking my usb up, it just wont recognize at all i really want the data off of it atleast, ahh its frustrating
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Looks like your SD card is dead... it isn't the rom...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
oh yeah i know its not the rom haha sry didnt mean to make it sound like thats what i was saying, i got it installed from my other sd card perfectly and its great! just wish my sd card didnt randomly die on me lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
No worries!

How is the new update treating you all?
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
The new update is boss! I just converted over from the LG Optimus S to the Epic 4G today, and loaded up your ROM first! Loving it so far! However, I have a few concerns. When I first rooted, I put the ACS recovery on as it was recommended. I loaded this ROM up and then watched it flash everything in shock and fear, as I didn't know it was gonna flash another recovery and flash on/off sometimes. So just for the record, I'm cool right? I can continue flashing ROMs as normal? Just trying to make sure that I wipe my phone and the recovery goes with it or something crazy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
nope your good. It went on and off because of the mtd conversion... and it also installed a different recovery because acs is not compatible with mtd roms... no worries!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
its awesome, best one yet! :D thanks a lot for this your the man. awesome job.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Great way to try and recover the contents of your sd card can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19536054
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
Cool thanks man I'll give it a try!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Well your good with this rom but just make sure u don't flash any bml roms since now ur on mtd there's only a few mtd roms at the moment there cm7, miui, this rom, and clean gb

but u can convert any other rom out there to mtd just takes a lil bit of work

Just becareful what your doing unless your sure of the differences and the processes of converting
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
So I flashed this rom yesterday on my friends phone over cm7 and it got stuck at samsung boot logo

Has anyone else had that problem..? I had to flash clean gb to get stcuk out of the loop

I wanna flash this on my phone

I'm on thunderhawk but I'm scared to get stuck again lol cuz I don't wanna b stuck on anyyy mtd rom I just wanna try this one and I don't wanna have to start alll over again so can anyone confirm this working coming from cm7 and thunderhawk? Cuz if it does work I would like to flash cm7 to see how it is then come back to this one so I need to be sure that both work, flashing this over thunderhawk and over cm7

It might have been a kernel problem or something? I would at least like to have a fix in mind incase I get stuck lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
if it gets stuck like that again its like a soft brick id recommend just going back to stock if it gets stuck again and then rerooting and all that. thats what ive always done, also not wiping ur data coulda caused it to do that, clean installs are usually best.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CrfEpic4g:
Awsome ! Fast and battery saver good job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Well that was my friends phone but I tried cm7 b4 this and had to change because if I sent long txts (longer than 160 characters) the person would receiev them as symbols and stuff I can't deal with that now

So I flashed this and all is well I just need a theme lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
Yeah, I think I might stick with this ROM. It's mostly stock with speed and battery tweeks, and the best one I've tried so far. Loving it <3. Quick question, say I wanted to downgrade from an EI22 rom to a EC09 rom or something, I would have to flash the rom first, and then Odin the modem to EC09, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
the modem isnt affected by the rom. you can flash whichever modem you like.

ie You can use dk28 on ec05. ec 05 on an ei22 rom. it doesnt matter
[Epic 4G Android Development] RealTic:
This rom just made me cream my pants. Nice work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zrmxp95:
Ok, so I have been running this rom all day....it is FAST!!....but for the first time my phone started whistling at me...this is the first time this has happened on EI22...I am aware of the problem...I was wondering if this rom has the fix (if there is one...maybe I was just getting lucky)...to stop this...hopefully there is a fix for this or EC05 here I come.... :) and thank you for all your hard work on this rom...it runs great!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
yo rob, whats some cool themes that you would recommend for this rom? :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Wondering this as well. Preferably a stable theme as just about every theme I flashed over Marc's revival rom caused random reboots (a lot too)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fangs87:
Since this is now on EI22, has there been any way to get rid of that ef02 to ef10 notification?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maui4x4:
Stupid fast rom and its great on battery. Definitely can't go wrong!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
Ive put it through its paces today 4g, 3g, tethering, in and out of bad signal areas, lots of GPS and it did great. Fast no fuss no muss ROM thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dblkspecial:
Noticed the log before the update says the 10 lock mod included..but flashed the latest n nothing. Loving the rom but is there a add on for the update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maui4x4:
10 lock mod was causing issues with memory leakage (If I was informed correctly...) hence why it was left out of v2.

Almost 10hrs of usage with 1hr30min screen on time with 53% left, this ROM is boss! No reboots or horrible memory leakage either on my end.
[Epic 4G Android Development] torinh:
Thank you for making my day! New to Epic 4G - came from Moment running Ti-X ROM and I must say that this is the smoothest, fastest, bug-free ROM I've tried in the 2 weeks I've owned the Epic. Running V2.0 with Shadow-TW-MTD V0.4 and everything works!!!

One question... what should I expect for battery life on a moderate to medium usage day? I don't have a feeling for battery life yet...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
I will get get an entire day plus with just phone usage with some music and data added in. Heavy gps usage constant about 3-4 hours depending on location. Wifi data sharing times go way down usually 2-3 hours with heavy constant usage. Moderate combinations you can usually make it through the day and sometimes I hook it into the car charger to keep it going. With one of the larger batteries which I dont use I imagine you would have no problems. Nice thing about this rom is the speeds and stability I get with it. Other roms crapped on me constantly doing the above, and I travel a lot and need the phone for communications and boredom prevention. I use it in combination with an HP touchpad, sometimes throwing in my Fujitsu tablet for contracts, for streaming which eats a lot of data and sucks battery juice. with all the roms I have tested this is in the top 3 but this one is more stable to me. I have modified the 4g, 3g modem settings, server settings, and this one seems to have a lot higher data speeds in combination with the modem. Its almost as though it is trying to up the speed of the sync constantly. That is an observation I dont know if it is real internally or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] torinh:
Thank you! I have also noticed that the 3G and 4G speeds are up there, but since I took off the stock Sprint / Samsung ROM literally 10 minutes after opening the box I can't compare.

I looked into the extended battery and cover, but opted for a cradle with a 2nd battery port. So far I can make it to 8 - 9 PM with 30% left - sounds about right. I'm doing the same as my son with his Sprint iPhone 4S. Great ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Thank you all for support of this Rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] savior02:
The performance of this rom is unmatched IMHO as far as speed is concerned. And for some reason, 3g is more solid than others. Great job putting this one together.

The MTD works very good, the only feature I would like to have is the custom menu mod with flashlight etc< I think toadlife has offfered as a mod. Other than that, it is good stuff! Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RealTic:
Does anyone know of a fix for the charging issue? My phone doesn't seem to charge when its turned off, its like the rom won't respond. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Which kernel do you have? I think when Rob first released this version, it included shadow v0.2. If you haven't yet, update to ShadowKernel-TW-MTD_v0.4. That includes the fix for power off charging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Just wondering if there are plans for an MTD version of EL30 ???? Thanks

[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
Upgraded to Shadow Kernel 3.0 MTD EL30. with no problem. CWM recovery.

I used the following to convert over temp bml to load el30 modem. CWM recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1463400

You need to download the modem here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457981

Download both and put on card. Use the temp bml converter it will reboot into CWM. Ignore the missing values post. Then load the modem zip and reboot the system. Thats it.

I get 9 satelites with GPS in my home rather than the 4 to 6 I used to get. No speed increase but GPS accuracy is huge to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RealTic:
This rom refuses to let me download google maps. It keeps saying I have insufficient space on my device. How can I fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Clear your cache
[Epic 4G Android Development] RealTic:
Turns out it was the theme I flashed, I had to clear data and cache, now its running great. Best rom out there right now.

Definatley hoping for an EL30 update this the best ROM I've ever used on my epic. Period.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RealTic:
If starsky said there will be an el30 release, i believe him. Patience is a virtue, his roms are always the sickest.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
You can install the el30 shadow kernel and el30 modem yourself. If you update your modem communication settings this ROM as is rocks. See my earlier posting with links to do this a couple of pages back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] galahadUSA:
Absolutely the best Rom out there! I'm also waiting for the El30 version...Sleeper Rom is a close second and currently the one I'm running as it is already El30. I have had ZERO problems with either one of these Roms using the lastest el30 Shadow Kernels.

StarskyRob, whether or not el30 happens your ROMs have been top notch!!!

Wish I had just half your talent at actually making these things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
preliminary alpha build with el30 is done. working on a few performance tweaks, and tracking down a rogue deep sleep preventing process.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jpeepers:
I really like this option thanks for going this route. I wish more Devs would do stock(ish) ROMs and make the themes flashable. I have passed up on flashing many ROMs just because they got carried away with the theming. Too black, too blue, too red, fonts that are hard to read etc. Every time I flash one of those I spend all my time trying to undo the theming (which never works out good).

.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tragiquexcomedy:
Are there screenshots available? Just curious
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Amen! I stick to stock, change to MIUI Font, and Grab Shane's Fusion explosion theme, and use TW4.5. I find it better to make my Epic how I want it, because nobody will ever be able to have things to fit everyone's liking.

[Epic 4G Android Development] metalblaster:
Market bug ive noticed.

I put this rom on immediately after it was released. Ive found a wierd bug. Ill enter the market place to go and download a program (I.E GPS Aids RC3) and the install button will not be in place at all. Then, if i try to access the program via the internet android market place, the market says installed then says that the program isnt compatible with my phone.

Im thinking this problem came from some sort of accidental DRM removal or something along those lines, Ill try reflashing the rom from a clean odin of EH16 and see if that fixes things, otherwise first bug reported..

Is CIQ removed in this version?

Question about wifi hotspot

Very clean and minimalistic. I like it.

I see the wireless hotspot in applications. If I use this, will sprint charge me? Normally I use Barnacle on stock with root. Recently I tried Syndicate Frozen but I couldn't get rid of the google error screen.

I'm wondering if I can use the hotspot or if I need to use Barnacle.

Thanks.

Argh, I really want to try this but I'm running an EXT4 rom now, does that mean I have to Odin back to a completely stock ROM, THEN do the flash with CWM?

Do nandroids copy the entire partition like a dd in linux? In other words can I nandroid back and forth between an EXT4 rom and a Samsung proprietary one (forgot what its called).

***Nevermind.. I just saw the EH17 flashable kernel that has gone up. That makes my question moot. although I am still curious of the answer if anyone still wants to take the time. By next posting I'll be running this ROM

I didn't have a problem...

I simply updated the zip from sd card. I came from Syndicate Frozen and it seamlessly updated to StarskyROM with no problems at all. It took a little bit of time booting the first time, but it was too easy.

Hope this helps.
