Soo.. new build... yeah... MMS... i can finally send them... just can't receive them. I'll do a full build analysis in the near future hopefully.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
Wifi has been stable as hell for me. More than ever. I get wifi in parts of my house I never got it in too. And it never disconnects. As for not killing apps properly...just run the v6 supercharger script or hold down the back button when closing an app for good. Might help there. I haven't had this issue.

Current Build:

Things that I can confirm work in this build:

Hardware Keyboard

SMS (No more issues with SMS larger than 160 characters)

Screen Wake on Call

Voice Calls

Wifi (Stable for me, but YMMV)

LED Indicator for Full Charge/Emails/Texts

Data

Headphone Jack

Camera (front and back)

GPS

EXT4 and RFS both work

Apps2SD

Signal Strength Indicator

Torch

Theme Manager

Microphone

MMS Sending

Things that I can confirm don't work in this build:

MMS Receiving

Video Playback (MoboPlayer is a good current alternative)

Video Recording

4G

How to get sprint visual voice mail to work: (The restoring of the app + data has to be done every time the Rom is updated, since it is a system app.)

Make a backup with cwm

Restore to or flash a stock rom

Backup the VVM system app with titanium backup

Restore back to MIUI

Restore backup of voicemail with titanium (app + data)

Then use something like ES File Manager to change the permissions to rw- r-- r-- or chmod 644 in a terminal

How to get the 1 key to go to voicemail:

Go to settings -> programs tab -> calls -> settings -> voicemail settings

In the voicemail number put in your actual phone # instead of the *86

After those 2 steps are done you can hold down 1 on the dialer and get to your voicemail.

It just keeps getting better and better. We are almost at full power now! Keep up the great work devs!

If anyone knows of any other issues, or knows how to fix other problems, let me know so i can add them to the post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
I wonder how the newest nsg miui is? maybe it fixes some of our issues.. 1.11.18?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
I'm working on putting together a GUI MIUI builder. Using the instructions that bxfxf posted, I'm essentially making a program that automates those. Then, with any new version it will be a lot easier to churn out an update. Then perhaps we can get instant turn around as far as once a new MIUI.US release is done we can get it. Hopefully I will be able to finish it this weekend. I started last night, but didn't have a lot of time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
I like this idea
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Thank you very much. That'd be awesome. Once mms receive works, I may try to get us official.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iatedeadpeople:
Can someone check if the built in miui screenshot feature works? You can by holding menu and pressing volume down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dsh210:
MMS and Screenshot

Do you know what directory the shot should be saved in? I would be happy to check.

Also, I have been able to receive MMS messages with this new build, which is very exciting to me.

I have not tested sending them yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Sending MMS does not work. But, you can now send sms larger than 160 characters because it will get converted into a MMS :)

Also i don't believe taking screenshots work either. It flickers and makes the sound like it does, but i am unable to find them in the MIUI directory.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Prince_Basil:
I haven't been able to even load the screen. Is there a special way to login?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dsh210:
MMS Functional

I concur, taking screenshots does not work.

I was, however, able to send an MMS message. This means that both send and receive are working for me.

[Epic 4G Android Development] djjroc007:
Is the phantom voicemail notification still present in the new build?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
so did someone get mms to work on the phone or just the website?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
I am unable to do so. Anything specific to your setup?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
OG Epic had to get returned 15 days after Nexus arrived or they were going to charge $500. I will have one soon though and have everything backed up on laptop. Love the Nexus because of ROM choices but am kinda regretting things now because I wasn't aware Epic had to go back. 4G is not as good, camera not as good,etc but I am Epic hunting
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Are you sure you can receive? I have not been able to receive any MMS messages so far...

For those wondering what does and doesn't work, I've compiled a list a few pages back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] daafisch:
I just tried and I was able to send my self a picture to my gmail account using mms, as well as receive one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] newbieandroid:
Has anyone else tried nubecoder's CM7 kernel? I just flashed it a hour ago with odin and battery life seems better for me than before. Lost 2% so far with light browser use and 2 runs of quadrant which scored in the 2700s. Strength Indicator works as well as Themes. The rom has less ram than before after killing apps between 160-170MB rather than 180-200MB but it still feels smooth. The icons and the unlock screen changed a bit but other than that it feel smooth.

Everything seems like it's working fine WiFi is great, GPS is also great. Thanks for the work you guys put in to make this rom work almost flawlessly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
How is it exactly that you are receiving a MMS from your gmail account? I understand sending an MMS to your gmail account... but receiving from it...?

[Epic 4G Android Development] shiroimin:
Just flashed the latest build. As far as I can tell, MMS and Themes do not work for me. Stock Messages system or GoSMS. This being pictures or SMS over 160 characters. Receive or send, just fails to send. Get MMS fixed and this will be absolute daily rom for me. Thanks guys for all your hard work. And Themes just don't apply, I get "New font library may cause issues in some apps, please reboot your phone after changing fonts."

[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I get much better 3g on ugothakds kernel than nubecoders. About 1.4 mb/s vs 0.75. Exact same place about 2 mins apart
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
My wifi seems to be more responsive after the newest build. So no go for me on sending or receiving mms on 3g or wifi. Just a note advanced data restore from previous miui builds work flawlessly so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] newbieandroid:
Oh I didn't notice a difference in 3G speeds when I switched to nubecoder's kernel but I just ran speedtest 3 times on his kernel and I'm averging 1.91Mb/s. Ever since I switched to EI22 modem from EC05 my 3G hasn't been an issue. I was only getting 3-4 hours of battery life with ugothakds kernel which is why I switched. Only problem I have now is that nubecoder's doesn't have the whistle fix.

So far even with nubecoder's kernel, battery life doesn't seem anywhere near as good as EI22 and I've recalibrated the battery. So far the battery is at 77% and it's only been off the charger for 1 hour 45 minutes. I've only used the phone for 3 10 minutes calls and surfed xda for 12-15 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JSIN3L33T:
Gud idea!
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshts0:
How are you people sendng mms? Mine autoconverts after 160, but just chugs away at 'sending'. But this is an awesome release! I was already getting into the habitof pressing 'send' after every 160 characters... so whatever! And how often do you really use 4g.. meh.

[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Anyone running this rom run the Vellamo benchmark? Just read the anandtech article showing some unknown phone out of China running MIUI absolutely crushing all other phones in this benchmark and was curious how the optimizations were for our phone.

Here is the article if you are interested:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5053/vellamo-benchmarking-on-six-android-phones
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
It's designed for miui.. ours is not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Thus why I am curious how our phone performs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshts0:
To fix visual voicemail, what I did .. a little easier.. was copy vtt-sprint.apk from another rom into the MIUI's zip file, in the /system/app directory.. then once its installed, I went to the Terminal, su, chmod 644 /system/app/vtt-sprint.apk ... then reboot, and then it shows up and works great. Probably could modify the installation script to chmod 644 it too.. but didnt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
I've noticed again on the new build that I've had to use third part app installers to get access to progams like facebook and now I even tried. Vellamo and "its not compatible with this device". Anyone got any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Benchmarks aren't the best way to test real world type usage. It's pointless. But I did a test for you all so you could. Take in account I'm running my own kernel for CM7/MIUI at 1.2 on EXT4. Otherwise I would not have placed where I did compared to those phones. We'd be below the Sensation 4G.

Overall phone scores.

My results:

Actual number. at 1.2 ghz up there with the other phones.

Actual number at 1 ghz EXT4, can't compete with the higher phones but still have a stake, EXT4 raises quadrant however.

Legitimately, our phone isn't going to fair better or anywhere near that MIUI phone unless pushed past it's normality. On MTD we may see better accel due to that, but regardless Quadrant, any kind of benchmark is more bs than truth.

AND TO DIG A BIGGER GRAVE FOR THIS THEORY. lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
I got 782 just running the OP build.

Edit: I believe I'm still on rfs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xBTx:
Just got 1108 on Vellamo. Placed second only to the Xiaomi thing. No big deal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
It's my point in all of this, if you have enough going on you can place high. If you put your dpi at 320 to be XHDPI you'll score high.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Alrighty, so i have everything working so far minus the baksmali/smali/apktool stuff. Well, it pretty much works, i'm just not 100% on what to do. In step 11(1) it says "Smali framework.jar: apktool d framework.jar" do i need to do both of these or can i just do one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
U do need to do both of these. First you decompile (I think that's baksmali). Then u modify, then u recompile (smali). I think he just confused baksmali and smali
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
New font in library may cause issues in some themes. Please reboot your phone after applying. I get that message when trying to apply a theme. It says its applied but does not apply the theme. Any suggestions? I've rebooted and everything. Running build 4
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Never had this issue. What theme are you trying to apply
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
See I can't install or use themes here
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
See you can't read four pages back

(neither can I, which is why I didn't repost the solution)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
themes work stock without any script for me. I haven't wiped at all though. I haven't had any theme issues in awhile because it always works for me if I flash a new rom over an old one in which themes worked. Though maybe your problem is the opposite. Try wiping everything then try a theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jae4prez:
just do this:

su
exec /system/etc/init.d/06defaulttheme

inside of terminal emulator
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
I've wiped everything before flashing v4. What's the theme script for superuser
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
For anyone having trouble with themes, try flashing an earlier build in which themes worked for you, then flash the new one without wiping.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:

i wish i knew how to dev a rom so i can help with the bugs
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Lol yeah, i know i need to smali and baksmali, but he had that i needed to apktool as well, and i wasn't sure if the baksmali/smali needed to be done along side the apktool or if i could do one or the other.

Edit: i think you answered my question in the other thread. Thanks!

Edit2: I should be able to be finished tonight. Once i'm done programming it, I will have to do some bug testing and what not, and assuming it all looks good, then i will be able to give it out. For starters I'll give it to some of the people who have been developing this rom so far, since they know what they are doing. Once they use it enough and I iron some of the potential kinks out, then i can release it to the masses. Note: You must have a windows PC.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
can i try it out too?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Everyone will get to use it at some point. I mainly need current devs to try it, to make sure everything looks like it should. There might be problems with the way things are done, so I need devs to test and find the potential issues.

Side note: I'm trying to make this generic enough that you will be able to put in any kernel or add more system apps to the base zip without the program having to be rewritten. Also, the build date, build user and build # get changed. Lastly, the program is currently single threaded, so it will look like it crashed, but hopefully it won't be. In the future I plan to make it multithreaded to alleviate this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
would you like be able to make a new rom from scartch?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
The MIUI Builder, as I am calling it, will use the base created by bxfxf, and what ever version you DL from the MIUI.US website. It will replace all of the necessary files in the DL'ed rom to make it work with our phones.

Edit: hopefully this will make it work for future versions of MIUI to come.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
oo well i dont want to get off topic but i just want a stock android rom for this phone. and the program you made wont be able todo this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
PM Me when you're done. I'd like to see this. It would make my life a lot easier.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
this sounds amazing. i especially like this sidenote idea of making it compatible with non-custom-miui kernels. if we could plug in that IAP kernel on this rom DAMN it would fly! just flashed 1 of the plain old ei22 roms just to try out that kernel and got a quad score of 4238...never passed like 2800 before on my phone ever i don't think. but i don't understand how anyone could go with 1 of those ei22 roms over this or cm7. the kinks are so minimal
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
You'll be the first to get it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Well, it won't necessarily let you use non-miui kernels, but it will let you put the kernel you want in the rom. My program isn't going to magically make more things work with MIUI it will just make building the rom easier.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
I just flashed this to just see what progress has been made and WOW. Like holy #$%& this blows ei22 out of the water!!! Instant daily driver status!!! How is it that wifi signal increased on this vs ei22?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
We can't do that. We need an AOSP kernel. CM7/MIUI kernels only. Stock based kernels wont work. Only CM7 team's kernel, ugothakds cm7, and nubecoder's cm7 work as of this point.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
nubecoder's cm7 kernel won't flash for me on this rom. i get a "Status 7" error. seems like some build.prop info is causing it to abort the installation process. u?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Delete the first couple lines in meta-inf/com/google/android/updater-script that say getprop.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
thanks. got it working. couldn't do it that way so i had to go into build.prop and change the 2 names from "sph-d700" to "epic" and it worked. How does this kernel compare to ugothakd's? Been using that 1 all along.

did it factory setting cache and dalvik chache too can send not receive

Force close messages too

i did a clean install wiped everything got sending but not receiving

May i ask what file system your on rfs or ext4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
My MIUI Builder application has been completed and is now out for initial testing with xboxfanj, as soon as it gets tested enough to where I feel comfortable letting loose into the wild, then you will all be able to use it.

So, xboxfanj, check your pm's. (I can't tell if it sent or not)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
kk cant wait for it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Damn. I forgot about GOSMS's lies. I sent to myself and it made it look like I got it, but it lies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
so you can only send for now?

wifi hot boots the phone after battery pull.. thats a bug
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
I experienced a weird restart boot loop when I used the restart function but I was able to fix it with a battery pull. Maybe if you are able to turn to wifi off before you pull the battery you can get out of it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
ya well its a minor thing to me i hardly do a battery pull i only do it when there is a new fix or a good rom thats once in a great well i do this i stick to the miui cuz its better then cm7 i think i like how custom you can have it to changen the boot animation with out the app

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

how is the program comen along?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Well, I squashed one large bug :) So far though, that's the only bug found. I'm hoping that means I got to them all before I sent it out. I'm testing now to see if one of the roms created actually boots. Doing a nandroid then flashing. Once the core functionality is all there, then I'll start adding frills and extra functionality. I'll keep everyone posted.

Edit: rom flashed but didn't boot. That's a start.

MMS

So it seems that my MMS always works on wifi, and always fails on 3g. I am almost always on wifi, which is why I did not notice this before.

I have been using GoSMS, but I also tested with the default messaging app and everything worked fine (on wifi as well).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
well hopefully its done by tues. id like to make a rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it will not be done by tuesday. I probably won't be able to work on it again until thursday or friday at the earliest. Until I know it makes a bootable build, I won't release it.

I left my phone on standby tell now and I charged it all night and now its at 17% and I looked at usage and its 97% android system
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
I think you may have some app that is using data or a sensor 100% of the time. It maybe just an incompatible app. I would say to use battery stats but since I switched to miui mine haven't been working. As far as I have seen I have had great battery life using the current setup, but even on previous builds were I used older kernels(cm7, and another) I still have seen significantly better battery life than stock. This is why I would lean towards an app being your issue. If in doubt wipe all and reflash and restore apps using titanium 1 by 1 to find the problem. Hope it helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
does anyone else here use the Google Music app/Cloud service? For some reason it syncs up with all my music in the cloud, but when I try to play any song from the cloud it FC's. Any ideas?

EDIT: nvm. fixed. uninstalled miui music player, wiped data, uninstalled google music, wiped cache and dalvik 3x, dl'd g music again from the market and it worked. probably overkill but solved. This service is effing awesome btw!

[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
Don't know if this was a cwm5 issue or this but when I wiped cache and dalvik it sent me into a quasi boot loop. Basically it would boot up but when I navigated a little it rebooted and did this a couple times for 5 minutes then returned to normal. I really didn't have a reason to wipe them just I hadn't turned it off in a couple days.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
One of the first things I do when I install a new Rom is restore my Wi-FI access points in Titanium Backup so that I don't have to re-enter every password I use. But for some reason when I installed this Rom and did a restore of access points with Titanium Backup, they did not take, the access points do not appear in the WiFi Settings list, and the passwords are not remembered. Is there any way of fixing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jae4prez:
This has been observed when the phone is low on battery, usually below 30% battery. A quick charge along with the aforementioned cache and dalvik wipe should fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I constantly have my phone on silent so idk. Sorry.
