I actully just came back to post that... except audiotuning wasn't needed. Trying to figure out which of the 3 actually verifies audio an which are dependant on others... I'll check into this and get back to everyone. I want the drm removed for battery saving purposes... but not if it's going to break things... as I said. Stability.

Still reverting back to rfs for the fact that I didn't receive fc complaints on that format.

I second RFS; it's fast on gingerbread. Plus it stock and stable so it fit's the bill for this ROM.

I'm having issues hooking up with my works not-quite-Exchange server with the ASOP email app. It's not giving the security prompt to accept the server as a device admin. I'm dorking around with some other apks to see if I can find an easy fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] peridoc:
Ok...please forgive my ignorance. I have been flashing leaks via ODIN but this is the first time I am trying to flash a custom ROM to my Epic. I am interested in doing so with this ROM, but had a couple of questions. Do I need to update any other items with this ROM (i.e. modem, etc) or are the latest modems, etc. already included when I install the ROM from the SD. I guess I just need the basic steps to get this up and running ideally with explicit steps other than simply installing the ROM from SD card using CWM. (if there are any other steps) Thanks for your help and understanding. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
Odin to give you whatever modem you want. Then you can flash this through CWM. Hower I would recommend usin odin to install eh17 then flash this. Its a cleaner install
[Epic 4G Android Development] silversx80:
Giving this one a go. One minor issue I've noticed is that Settings FC's when trying to set Notifications sounds.

... edit: I think it's just me. Going to go for a clean wipe and try again. As for what I've seen so far, I really like the setup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] peridoc:
Ok...thanks! One more question: When restoring from titanium backup should I select to restore apps and system data or just to restore apps only?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
I work wih exchange... so just pm me with version of server and all, and I'll see if I can give you a had. You have to have the domain rght, and open to public access.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
It really depends on what system you came from... froyo settings on some apk's might not be the same for gingerbread.

You do need your data for example... things like xda app, to retain login information and theme settings... es, and others.

I would recommed just backing up "all user apps", as it takes only what you've installed and the settings to go with... then doing things like call\mms logs and bluetooth pairings, etc. Seperate from it. Let me know how it goes.

This was discussed a few posts back. I removed a few things that verify audio not native to the system making these files not work on the system. Will be fixed in next update. Just feeding my 10 day old baby at the moment. Lol

I really like this rom, first one I've ued since jumping to 2.3. Just one problem: whenever I change my ringtone to something I made in ringdroid, the phone freezes up until I hit the power button but then my system settings is unavailable. Bad dl or something???
[Epic 4G Android Development] peridoc:
Ok...I lied. One more quesiton. :) Once I have your ROM on my device and you supply an updated version what is the procedure to update to it? Can I do it in place and keep my apps or do I have to do the wipe and then titanium restore procedure?

Congrats on the new baby, BTW!

Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
should just be able to flash right over with no wipes... The thought had crossed my mind on trying to just push flashable updates...stay tuned...because now that you mentioned it, I may just go for it.

Although I do understand that anything flashed over the rom may be effected by a flashable update... if anyone likes the rom as is... they can flash it, and i'll have to go ahead and post the ROM as an update too, but just to see how it goes, might be worth a shot. Keep your eye on the OP ;)

[Epic 4G Android Development] silversx80:
Now I feel like an idiot for not reading the whole thread first. :o

I don't have a perfectly clean install (Macs at home, so Odin only at work), so I need to do that.

One more issue (I would consider it more of a feature) I've noticed, and it may be due to needing a clean flash, is that BT audio and phone won't connect simultaneously. My car has functionality for both (I only use the phone, however, so no big deal), and it wouldn't connect the phone. It did connect for audio. Once I turned off the option (in my car) for BT audio, the phone connected right away.

I'm actually not fretting it much, because when I use Nav on my phone it sends audio through the car radio. Sucks, because I lose my music.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mama Luigi:
OP was edited today and title changed to say it was updated today (9/19) - is the download link updated? What's changed in the new version? Can I just flash it over the old version without wiping? Did you fix the notification sound problem?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
damnit i swore i wouldn't use anymore GB roms lol! backing up sfr1.2 right now. curious to see if RFS fixes the issues I was having with previous GB roms..
[Epic 4G Android Development] scott47:
It appears the download link has not been updated. The file that I just downloaded is exactly the same as the earlier version.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
It appears that you have not read the OP... Please do before posting.

Thanks! =)

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

Please read the changelog in the OP... Any changes will be posted there.

Also, the Forum's title won't say updated 9/19 unless i actually posted the new link on 9\19.
[Epic 4G Android Development] peridoc:
Maybe if the changelog section had dates associated with them (rather than just update numbers) it would be easier to see what is in the latest release.

Just a thought.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
There are three bluetooth related apks pulled out of this rm that may be related to your problem. BluetoothOpp.apk, BluetoothPbap.apk and BRCMBluetoothServices.apk. If you could add them back to /system/app to find out which one or combination provides the service, i'm sure hoffman would be add them back in to the next version of the rom for us all.

Thanks!

I noticed some people are having FCs while trying to change the ringtone. So, I used my MIDnight Extras ringtones (can be found on XDA if you search) and installed some ringtones myself. Works perfectly, and no FC at all. Hoffman, great ROM, great work. Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] peridoc:
On the ROM, you have Titanium Backup included, but the option to "Auto-sync TB settings" is not checked. Can this be saved as checked in the ROM version? I am hoping this would auto-load my TB settings instead of me having to set them every time I flash the ROM. Thoughts?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Given that the latest update is rfs and previous was ext4, do I need to Odin before flashing the update or does the new version auto-convert?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
So the new version allowed me to use my ringtones...cool...

I just noticed that when you get a voicemail it sent me a text message from android that number xxx-xxx-xxxx has sent a a sprint voice message....I remember this being an issue on older roms, but can't remember the fix....

*edit* Also I had to turn swype off then back on in order for it to work.

And visual voicemail doesn't seem to be working....
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Rom was just updated a couple of hours ago, don't think it has been out long enough in its current state to answer this question.

*edit* been on it for the last 3 hours, and just had my first random reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
I just assumed that sequentially ordered updates and a date in the title to reflect the last update was easy enough to read... Guess i was wrong.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mama Luigi:
It just wasn't especially clear to me, which is why I asked before downloading and flashing. Is the currently available version Update #2? And I'm assuming Update #3 is coming in the future?

No need to get defensive, I do appreciate the work you're doing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Sorry myself, just been a bit stressful with the baby still less than 2 weeks old, and trying to please the public as well. I will Put the update # in the title from now on, to prevent confusion. I'm also releasing an EXT4 and RFS version for those who have an issue with one or the other.

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

Please let me know how often you're getting these reboots, because i had my first ever since i started building this thing tonight... and have again after.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Voicemail's kind of been an issue with all of the GB's so far... I'll try something in a little bit and get back to you.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

I will add these back for testing in the next version... Which should be released sometime this week.
[Epic 4G Android Development] peridoc:
I also meant no ill tone in my post and took none in return. I was confused with update 3 being blank but I thought that was what went up today. I get lost easy I guess. :) Awesme work, btw...love it so far. I hear ya on the baby front...worth it though.

Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Well the idea was that i would post the next update with a todo and done list in it... leading to the fact that it hasn't been posted yet, but it was in the works and ready to go. All good anyway... Like i said, just been a hassle since the baby's been born to get this done. and i want to get this done and working perfectly for everyone. Keep an eye on the OP, because i have tons of ideas, I'm just going through the trial and error stages... most likely reinventing the wheel, but with all the secrecy behind a lot of the mods and ROMs coming out, it's been kind of hard getting some of this work done. I don't need the help, but it would be nice. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] thebest31:
quick question, do i have to wipe data/cache and everything to get the updated version even though i have the one with the first update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
I will keep checking back on this thread for the next version. Unfortuneately, visual voicemail is a deal breaker for me, so I have already odin'ed back to stock/rooted EH17 waiting for your next update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phirewire110:
Thank you very much for keeping an RFS version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
didn't realize stock EH17 worked... Will look into that. Because i'm a huge fan of sprint voice mail.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Why use vvm instead of Google voice?

Just flashed latest ext4 version. Sounds are fixed. Looks good so far. I'll report back with any issues.

Want to throw together a flashable .zip for the AOSP Lockscreen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
I was waiting to see how hoffman1984 packaged the update to respond to your question. Looks like you have some options, you can try the new ext4 version without worrying about converting.

If you're interested in converting to RFS, yes, Odin to stock EH17, then flash. That is the most error-proof (if there is such a thing).

Another option for converting is chris41g's filesystem conversion scripts: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109362

Good luck in which ever path you chose.

[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
Been getting lots on random reboots today on ext4, needless to say I added some of my own tweaks and mods so I guess that's not really helpful 8) just really irritating. Umm everything has been working perfect except for the known issues (mms fc'ing, random reboots), AND the thing I came here to post... my market isn't showing all apps, its saying my phone is incompatible with apps I know for a fact work on our phones.. changed build prop to think my phone was a nexus s and a couple others but to no avail. Any othr ideas? Patiently awaiting #3, but no hurries we all know your taking care of your new #1 in the fam (congrats on being a dad!) Really though, this is the best rom since baked snack IMO... anyway to add deadline scheduler as well? I hear that is better than cfq for our phones but is all really just word of mouth so I don't know for sure atm... I'm not gnna google it this second cause I'm writing this on the road @ red lights haha, what I the difference?

I'm running RFS and I experienced 2 random reboots in a row a few minutes after a missed call.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phirewire110:
Random reboots are occurring more often now. Had 2 within 40 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
It'll continue to degrade, wipe everything multiple times and reflash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
i noticed its mostly rebooting when i get a call, text, or am downloading something. Maybe its data related?
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
When I did the upgrade from the earlier version, on boot up, I heard the bootup music, saw the buttons on the bottom of the screen, but the rest of the screen was black. I tried 3 times; without wiping data, wiping and installing a couple of other things (Journaling on, juwe script) then I just did a standard 3x3 wipe, flashed the rom, did nothing else but reboot, and the same result, black screen with buttons. Luckily I had made a nandroid backup before doing this, so I have gone back to that for the moment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] silversx80:
Unfortunately I won't be able to do that. I just switched to the ET4G yesterday. Oh well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Yeah, sorry... forgot to mention that i turned off the boot ani... Apparently this speeds up boot time? Haven't noticed too much a difference, but maybe?

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

So i'm wondering... It seems that EG22 didn't have any of these reboot issues... What would everyone think about an EG22 version of this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] peridoc:
While I have very infrequent reboots with your ROM compared to the stock EH17, EG22 was by far the most stable of the stock 2.3.4 ROMs I have tried so far. Might not be a bad idea if the wait for the official GB (or at least a newer leak) is going to be a while. I have been loads happier with your ROM over the stock one...so no matter what you do I will be happy. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
I know i said don't come here looking for benchmark scores... But since everyone else does it. Might as well post atleast one. lol

This screenie was taken on the EXT4 version OC'd to 1.3ghz with tegrak, so there's no confusion about why you won't get a score like this emmediatly on startup.

Was curious to see what it would do...

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

Also, I'm still waiting for my second reboot... Not sure what i'm doing wrong with my device (or right?) But i can't get it to randomly reboot on me. Unless it's doing it while i'm not paying attention. >.>
[Epic 4G Android Development] peridoc:
Mine only reboots when it is sitting by itself not on the charger. You can do like I did and get Reboot Logger to know when reboots occur when you are not looking. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Honestly, if i'm not noticing them, they're not a huge deal to me. My phone's always on when i pick it up, and there's nothing that stops working because it rebooted. Alarms still work, phone calls... There's never any need for my phone to not be rebooted because i'm doing something super important with my phone. lol

If there's something that important, i wouldn't be depending on a battery driven handheld to do the job. =)

That doesn't overlook the fact that reboots still happen, and i will be starting an EG22 version this week.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
I probably wouldn't use a eg22 version, I'm getting way better battery life on eh17. I'm wondering if everyone getting these random reboots is adding anything like madoggins mod, some different init.d tweaks, or zepplins scripts like 3g, and kickass kernel...? Ill try your rom stock l8r to see if I'm rebooting as much.

Sent from my Nueral Net Processor
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Well as far as battery life goes, i can tweak EG22 a bit... I'll see if keeping the EH17 modem on EG22 works as well, and get back to you.

Also, there have been reports of flashing other mods over the ROM. I won't recommend doing that, but i won't tell people not to. The process of trial and error can be a ***** sometimes, eh? lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] phirewire110:
I forgot to mention I have been using a variation of maddoggins mod but thats it.

However I wiped and and reflashed without the mod and had 2 reboots last night.

Haven't noticed any reboots today though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gremlyn1:
Switched over to the RFS version to see if it helps stability. Having trouble downloading thing from the market, though. It is showing some apps have updates, or in the case of Gmail I uninstalled the updates to try to re-install it and still no dice. I also tried to install a new app, and it wouldn't download... any ideas?

I wiped 3x, did the EXT4toRFS.zip, then installed your RFS zip. Restored from Titanium when it booted up. Seem to have no other issues except that Google Talk can't seem to sign me in. Otherwise all apps seem to open properly. I initially though there was an account problem, but Gmail syncs and gets my emails just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Alright... I can comment on atleast one of these issues... For the Gtalk... Did you switch over to Wifi as the sync was going on? I noticed an issue with that upon setup. Seems to screw things up when you change your network connection in the middle of a sync. Try switching back to 3G then signing into your Gtalk again... If that doesn't work, just reflash and don't go wifi until all the initial syncing is done.

Maybe two of the issues... With the market, i've found the same issue. Seems to be a build issue, and not my mods. Let everything sync before switching to another network connection (ie wifi\4G)

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Well, if you're using maddoggins mods... you're flashing files over my ROM that i've already edited... Won't say it causes any issues, but maybe the mod you flashed over might have a few effects on the system that i can't speak for.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gremlyn1:
Great, thanks for the reply. I will give this a shot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Also, EXT4toRFS isn't going to do anything different than the RFS format in the ROM itself. So no need to flash then flash again...

The ROMs themselves actually do the EXT4 and RFS conversions before install of system files. Just sayin'...
[Epic 4G Android Development] gremlyn1:
I didn't realise that you built the conversion scripts into the ROMs, good to know. So I redid everything as per your instruction, tried everything out and it worked. I then restored apps, followed by system app data only, and am now experiencing the same problem. Seems that restoring some of the system data is causing this... I will redo and try not restoring the Market and Talk app data and see how it works out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
I agree. No interest in an EG22 version. I'm getting pretty good battery life and haven't had a single reboot on this rom, likely because I haven't flashed any themes, scripts, lock mods, etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Did you ever get a chance to figure out the visual voicemail thing, or was that something that only I was having an issue with?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
It's not a conversion... because your wiping the data and starting with a fresh format.

As for market and talk data... talk just syncs upon activation, aswell as market. So no need to backup that data because it's tied directly to you google account.

The lack of extra flashes is my thoughts... but EG22 apparently didn't suffer from this problem. I may be able to get the same battery life out of it, though. Keep watching the OP, because I most likely won't create a second post just for the EG22 ROM. Keeping it all on one post.
