There a reason for wanting to update busybox? Should work with whatever you need it to.

Sorry all... Didn't realize i had left SU-3 in the update from testing... Removed it, and old SU replaces it in update now. Along with a preconfigured Blacklist app to block the 9016 txts, until i can come up with a solution in the mms.apk itself.

Will be working on v6 starting this week. Enjoy!

I was just sharing what I do with my phone, really regardless of the rom, to help save battery. This is nothing against your rom, I think your rom is very nice actually .... one of my favorites.

v5 Problem

I am not sure if it is happening to me only but the v5 update breaks the network connection. I tried wiping everything and reinstalling v4 then v5 but upon boot of v5 I can not connect to the network. I am currently on v4 and everything is working beautifully.

Keep up the good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] iceman19631:
Best leak IMO

I have Odined EH17 stock and Modem, then flash this Rom after doing 3x data/factory,cache, and dalvic. Ok, I fooled around and left my phone off the charger one night and had gone to work the next day. So, seeing as how good the battery was doing, I left it off til it was almost dead and used ShootMe for pics to show you all the results. Background data is on, Auto-Sync is off, using V-6 script along with SetCPU. I've had only 2 reboots since I've started using v5 of this rom. Thanks for a pretty stable leak other than the reboots. Maybe you should be the one working for Samsung on these updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Yeah... I'm going post a FINAL v5 that works... I posted the wrong update, but it works as far as I know.

Sent from my Stocky-ish Epic 4G...
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
So, do those of us that have v5 and aren't having issues need this for anything? Is this like 5.1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
Great-looking ROM. It's probably the most stable one out there for Epic. That said, I really, REALLY want to make this ROM my primary, but I can't until you can find a way to incorporate maddoggin's music player lockscreen option. I saw that you made an AOSP lockscreen mod, which is great, but I love that music player sub-option too much to abandon it. Please, PLEASE try to incorporate it into V6 or V7 of the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] josh33_unc:
wipe everything 3 times

flash v4

flash v5

doesnt boot, black screen, with the 4 bottom touch buttons lit up :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Does it make noise? I turned the boot ani off... Give it about a minute or so the first time around. Should work just fine. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Don't need it... It corrects the SU issue, though... Brings you back to the older version. Also, was supposed to blacklist 9016 from hitting your MMS box, but that hasn't been thoroughly tested... I'm still working a final version, and will probably just end up posting it as a full out ROM download, to prevent any further confusion.

I really want to get this SU and busybox update working, so i'm waiting on Chris41g and Marcusant to sort that out (seems to be related to the rooted and busybox pieces in the plus kernel). I was going to take a stab at it, but as i mentioned i currently don't have a *nix box up and running.

I'm back to work today, so don't expect to hear much from me until tonight... I'll keep everyone posted though, and again... Thanks for the support. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
Flashed v4, v4 then the journalimg fix....

Phone was rebooting and doing funny things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
You could always flash the lockscreen mod yourself. Shouldn't effect anything on the ROM...

But as i said earlier, i'm going for the AOSP feel, so incorporating this mod into my ROM is kind of taking away from that stocky-ish feel... Ya know?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
The phone's going to reboot... It's a Gingerbread issue with alot of phones these days.

As for journaling (Going for stablility, remember?) ... I never disabled it... So shouldn't need to flash it. If you're going to, though... I recommend you do so right after the ROM without rebooting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
I'm also getting an awful lot of apps. (MLB at bat, Discover Card, NHL) that don't show for our phone.

I know this wasn't a problem before, cause I buy the mlb app every season. It works fine, but won't update.

Edit: I also know it's possible that they aren't supposed to show for the epic, but if you could change whatever it is that tells the market what phone we have to open everything up, that would be great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
I've tried, but doing so on top on your ROM nukes the hardware (Modem and radio become unrecognizable). I was saying that I found your AOSP Lockscreen (which ISN'T stock) mod in the Themes section, and was just curious how far you wanted to take the variance. After all, the playback option looks good enough to be stock, unless you're fanatically purist. If nothing else, I'll try you in that other thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
lol

ACTUALLY, the lockscreen mod that I posted IS STOCK Android... The lockscreen is already present in the EH17 build, all i did was edit some smali code to utilize the AOSP Lock instead of the Touchwiz Lock. So please do your homework next time. =)

As far as variances go... I'm looking to keep that AOSP feel, as I'll say again. So there won't be any other lock screens going into this ROM.

And for your hardware being nuked... I don't think i've changed enough to make what you say happen. Possibly the mod you're trying to flash? Keep trying though, you'll get it someday. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
I'll see about changing the it to reflect a Nexus S, and see how that goes.... Thanks for the feedback.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Ok... So i've come to a real temporary fix for the 9016 issue...

The problem being, that the mms.apk on a stock Epic ignores the 9016 messages, and passes a string onto the vvm, which in turn downloads the recieved voicemail.

The mms.apk i have installed is more of a stock messenger, so it doesn't know to ignore these recieved messages.

My temporary solution:

I wiill be posting an update that includes a preconfigured "Super Private Conversation" that will immediatly take these 9016 messages (without being notified) and move them to a hidden log. This log will be cleared automatically everytime you boot up your phone, to prevent loss of memory and storage.

If anyone has any issues with this, let me know... Otherwise, i'm going ahead as planned.

Glad you like the 3D. Sad that you've stopped development on this Rom. It's the only gb Rom I could get to work right ( haven't tried cm7 yet b/c I need video camera).

Hoping you still stop by for the occasional updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
i actually haven't forgotten about anything... I've not been on XDA in a few days now... Had to work all weekend... long nights. Anywho, i just stopped in to see if there was anymore activity here... Not too much, but i do feel the need to update this thing to the point where i can let it be. Atleast until another build of GB drops... I didn't plan on putting TOO much work into it... As the Stocky-ish title would imply.

I'll be back this week with atleast some sort of update on what i'm working on. For now though, i'm off to bed. JUST got home from a 5am wake up =)

I don't think the rom in OP is actually the latest version. Just about every feature is missing from the v5 list of changes.

I'm going to revamp v5 with nubernel as soon as i get the OK. Update the Adrenaline shot, add gps tweaks and repost.

on second thought your right. something flashable would be better and less problems. looking forward to the next update. Havne't jumped back on eh17 for awhile but nubernal I hear has fixed the reboot issues!
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
^ THIS

A certain very popular ROM around here doesn't have a launcher in /system/app. Any ROM with an oversight as egregious as that shouldn't be released.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Before working on my own, this ROM was my favorite GB ROM. There were only one issue I noticed. The AOSP MMS and EMail apps had the wrong icons on the menu. I'm guessing the relevant images are in framework-res.apk. It would be nice to modify the framework (or the mms and email) and fix that.

EDIT: I see you already have the email icons listed as a known issue. Oh well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Regarding the superuser binary update, can't you just download the newest binary and put it in the ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
I honestly haven't even gotten around to thinking about that... Thanks for bringing it up.

I ran into a little hiccup with adding the stock epic mms.apk back into the ROM... So I won't be reverting back. I REALLY want to get this 9016 issue handled, and don't want to have people use SPC to blacklist the txt's... I'll keep at it, though. Unless someone has time and wants to theme a stock app for me, or has some ideas? I'll be here...

Anyway... ROM's uploading now, and i'll have the link up when it's finished. Looking like another 20-30 min. or so....
[Epic 4G Android Development] lys3rgic:
i think i'm first to try. will be flashing soon. odin'd just before you posted the link :]
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:

great job hoffman. ill see if i can help find the mms 9016 error
[Epic 4G Android Development] jakmai:
thank u:) been waiting. btw someone clarify with me how the gps from the fascinate help us?

BTW my market keeps crashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lys3rgic:
great. seems stable. but as stated in post above my market also keeps force closing. also so does google+ when you first boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jakmai:
What I did was flash gapps from another rom over. Made sure its gingerbread, that fixed the market issues for me. ;) now this rom kicks ass. I gotta test out if the gps stays lock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
I appreciate it, Kevin. Like i said, there's a way to get around it... (Super Private Call)

But i'm looking to either

a.) Theme the stock app to look like AOSP

or

b.) Edit the AOSP app to not display 9016 (probably means browsing smali in the stock apk)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Had some issues trying the last time, and i THINK it was a kernel related thing. Might run into that issues with this one as well. I'll test it out at home, and see how it runs... If it ends up being kernel related on this release, i'll get with nubecoder and figure something out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Yeah, I've been testing things out... I know the kernel deletes some of the apps by default. See here. So i've been adjusting fire to that. This is why the name v6 Test was given. It was getting late, and i guess i just didn't realize that the market apk was still in the deata/app folder. Will be movd on next test version... (which i don't plan on having many of)

What you should be able to do to fix this:

in ES File Explorer

/data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk

use the new "move to" command

/system/app

in Terminal Emulator

su

busybox mv -f /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk /system/app/com.android.vending-1.apk
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Well, my guess is that sprint completely F***ed our gps up once they got ahold of it...

The fascinate, forunately was tuned a bit better somewhere along the line.

You SHOULD notice the stock Epic not locking on to as many satellites as after the fascinate files are added.

So I just wipe data, cache partition, and delvik. I don't need to go back to stock ROM or different kernal or modem are anything like that? Hopefully this question isn't too lame.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
No prob. Like ugothakd said, add /data/apps directory to your rom then add the following line to your updater-script

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

There is another package_extract_dif for system, just drop in in right after that line.

After taking a look at the apks you have in the 1.0 ROM, I have the following suggestions.

- Remove the old vending.apk (1910 KB), you've got the new one in there.

- I've been running deca's base rom without FactoryTest.apk; drop that and recover 4MB

- For me the stock live wallpapers are not fun anymore. I wouldn't miss LiveWallpapers.apk, MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk and Microbes.apk (this one didn't work on my Epic). They're about 1.5MB.

- Also wouldn't miss dlna.apk, HTMLViewer.apk (not needed as far as I can tell), memo.apk, SelfTestMode.apk(unneeded), SlateTest.apk(unneeded)

-/+ I think the TW calculator is better (looks better and has more function) than this one (is it ASOP?)

-/+ FWIW, I've successfully run these apks from /data/apps: Gmail.apk, Maps.apk, Street.apk, Swype.apk, thinkdroid.apk, TN6.2-sprint-handset-6201501.apk, TouchWiz30Launcher.apk, vtt-sprint.apk. Memo.apk, I believe will not run from data/apps. I've never tried dlna.apk from data/apps, I've always just removed it.

If I get more time to poke around, I'll post back more suggestions. I'm attempting to provide constructive feedback, please let me know if I am not.

Thanks again!
