anyone have any screenshots of the default theme for this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
I also like it. Where did it come from? The international version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Keith02:
ROCKS!

LOVE IT!!!!

tethering: WORKS

Lockscreen mods: WORK (love the other UI tweaks as well!)

this is the best rom for this phone. I have been flashing all weekend and by far this one is the most functional, stable, rom we have!

Well done!

Does anyone have Titanium Backup in a ZIP that I can install with CWM after a flash? Any way I can also install the PRO license with it?

Ok so if I'm coming from StarBurst Rom v1.3, in what order do I wipe? Do I format system under mounts & storage, then wipe data, cache, then dalvik, and then finally flash v1.5 rom from install zip from SD card? TIA

Just flashed new rom coming from 1.4. Everything seems fine so far. Keep up the great work!

Go to their website and download the apk file. Talking about titanium backup pro.

Also, been getting LOS on 1.5 fresh install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iondokk:
So far this ROM is as stable as anything I've flashed on my EVO or my 3DEVO... Nice work. I've been lurking for about ten day's with CWM and Root waiting for something worth flashing. Must say I love all of the custom tweaks. I am wondering about the wimax key being backed up through CWM (it was always questionable on CWM) I have always used amon-ra and never lost my keys... any input.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iondokk:
This is the process I used... did all twice (force of habit)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
There are no Wimax keys to backup so nothing to worry about:)

Problems coming from 1.4 to 1.5

If you had added any mods in 1.4, you will have issues flashing to 1.5. To get around the FCs of the status bar and such, install a different ROM and reboot back into CWM and then flash 1.5 again. You SHOULD clear DALVIK, etc. first.

This worked for me. Only had 1 LOS incident in the past 7 hours.

Great work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Thanks for the reply, is everything working good so far using this process?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iondokk:
Sweet... that works for me!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texas83:
+1 for this ROM. v1.5 is freaking awesome, Phantom you rock man.

-Just one thing I noticed, the AppWidgetPicker.apk is not in the update. Not sure if its just mine or not but its the system app that consolidates several different types of the same widget on the screen. Easy fix but wanted to point it out for you!

-Not sure how to use the Hotspot Hack by Necrosan that's baked into this rom already. Do I just use the "Sprint HotSpot" app or is there some other way? I checked Necrosans original thread but still not certain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
I also noticed my widgets aren't grouped anymore (which is what AppWidgetPicker did)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texas83:
Here's the apk for anyone who wants to do it manually. Use root explorer to push this in to system/app. All credit goes to original developer, I just happen to have the apk handy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Also notice that changing recent apps to 12 doesn't do anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
Does anyone use screen off and lock? Or have any app defaulted for long press search? Any time I long press search to use screen off & lock launcherpro force closes...any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
push just means place it there right? I'm trying to move it from my download folder to system/app but it says the file system is read only. I tried long pressing to change permissions but it gives me the same message
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
I noticed that sometimes when I power the screen on Ill see my lockscreen transparent so I see my home screen too but it wont work so I'll have to turn the screen off again and then the phone will reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Extended toggles coming tomorrow night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Using root explorer you need to toggle it to rw (read write). Its a gray box towards the top of the screen. Once you do that then you can long press to paste it.

Anyone having trouble changing the lock screen wallpaper? I change it via the new menu and it doesn't stick.

It has to do with the lock screen mod. create a backup.. Wipe everything.. format system in the mounts and storage section of cwm... Flash the nightly and restore just the data from your backup... Should be good to go
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
it's a lockmod bug, gotta change it via phone settings (menu button/settings/display/screen display)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
anyone have the bug where you hold the home button and the task manager and ur recently used apps are spose to pop up but it doesn't work and gives the phone a soft reboot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Supposedly that has been fixed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
fixed on mine. you're using version 1.5? Did you flash AOI mod or lockmod on top of this? (no point since it's already included btw). If you flashed an older AOI or lockmod, that's your problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
Sweet, thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Ok so should I put the v1.5 zip on my external sd or in say the downloads folder on the internal storage or does it not make a difference?

V1.5 Feerdback for PhantonHacker

I appreciate your hard work and like the color change additions for battery & clock but I've run into a number of new bugs in v1.5 that are forcing me back to v1.4:

1. Lockscreen. Sometimes it freezes and i can't get text & clock to appear at bottom.

2. TV.com app. Worked fine in stock and all your previous ROMs. Doesn't work at all in v1.5

3. MX Video. Worked fine in stock and all your previous ROMs. Doesn't work at all in v1.5

4. Can't find the Sprint Hotspot function anywhere in v1.5 but when I installed WiFi Tether V3.1 Beta 6 it did work normally under v1.5

On a positive note, overall responsiveness in v1.5 was noticeably faster and i had Zero LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
So far lol

Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
For 2 and 3, try clearing app cache. I don't use those apps but I just downloaded mx video player and it worked fine. For 4, I believe you use the sprint hotspot app that came with the phone

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luigic81:
can't get 1.5 to stop hot rebooting, I've tried to install it literally 5 different times now, wiping everything 3 times, cache, davlik, factory reset, format system. not sure what the problem is, the only time I had it working was when I flashed it over 1.4 earlier today but then I borked it by trying to apply the green beta theme lol.

IT could be something i'm restoring in TB but I dont know what, i'm just restoring downloaded apps...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sewhuy:
From 1.4, I cleared data, cache, dalvik, system, then flashed 1.5 and boots up perfectly. Updated profile, prl, firmware, then rebooted phone. After several minutes I used titanium to restore my just the data for system data(green) and then I restored app + data(white). Rebooted, and still haven't encountered any issues.

Have you tried just restoring apps only(-data)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Subiegsr:
Thanks, after reading some of the comments I got scared to flash from v1.4. I'll try what you did for a peace of mind. :)

I am having issues with going in and out of cell reception in random times of the day with v1.4, not sure what could be causing this. Seems like if I reboot the phone it will provide a temporary fix, hopefully v1.5 fixes my issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zzelinka:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Subiegsr:
Got to mess around with the v1.5 rom for a bit and wow, this is super fast! It feels a lot snappier and smoother compared to v1.4! Surprised this is a deodex rom, since the boot up time seems to be just as good as stock if not faster. The v1.4 took long compared to this.

Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r80ies:
cpu using higher freq's

So in 1.5 I noticed in Setcpu that my phone is hovering around 800k and 500k freq's on an average of 30 percent between those to specific freq's. While in 1.4 the CPU was 60% or more in 200k freq. Just an observation, not a complaint. Been 3 hours on 1.5 and had a 30 point drop in battery, I am going to keep an eye on the kernel hopefully it will stabilize.

Thanks for your time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:

By the way, thank you thank you thank you for removing that MTP crap! Such a dumb addition by Samsung or Sprint. Whoever was responsible for putting that in should be castrated and fired.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
So simple, thanks buddy. So does that setting override the system's normal behavior, e.g. if you want to change what long press search does clearing defaults wouldn't do anything; rather TSM governs that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zzelinka:
Then it did it again. I have to reboot to get it to match what you battery level is.

Not trying to start anything but I don't see anyone taking credit for it, although Tiffany's post does say "fixed long press home button" and her theme seems to be the only one compatible w/ this ROM...EDITED..NVMD, seems Crawrj posted the fix before both of them on 10/8

V1.5 still causing problems after ODIN back to stock ROM

Thanks for the feedback but even after I wiped davlik, data, cache and used ODIn to reinstall stock ROM, still can't get MXvideo app to recognize or play ANy of my mpg files that were working perfectly from October 16 through Starburst V1.4 on October 7. As soon as I installed V1.5 (and I followed PhantomHackers complete instructions), I started having FC problems with TV.com and MXvideo apps, lockscreen would freeze, couldn't move the clock/text on lockscreen, QucikBoot would hang ... more problems than I've ever seen from any E4GT custom ROM so I will stick with stock ROM and basic root until I can get all those apps working properly again.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Fixed my 2 apps that weren't working in V1.5

PhantomHacker: My apologies on blaming V1.5 for my problem with MxVideo app. Latest version of MXvideo on market will NOT recognize or play ANY mpg video files on Epic 4G Touch. I figured this out by finding mxvideoplayer_1.3beta3.apk (an older version of MxVideo not at Market).

Problem I had with TV.com under V1.5 was a black screen that appeared with an "X" which turns out to be an ad being blocked when you first load the TV.com app. It just coincidentally happened to me after I installed V1.5 so again, my apologies.

Soon as I read a few posts about the lockscreen issues being fixed or patched in V1.5, I'll give it another try so I can continue my donations for PhantonHacker's hard work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
You can change that on lockscreen setting under status bar.

Visual Voicemail and Weird SMS issues.

First of All, Great ROM Phantom....Im on 1.5 and so far so good.

I am having an issue with some of the settings in under Lockscreen Settings taking affect, like changing the number of apps in Recent Apps and actually changing the Color of the overscroll, but other then that, things seem to work great.

Now if Samsung would only get this darn LOS issue worked out we would be rocking the Best android phone with the Best ROM out there.

My question is, is anyone having issues with odd, nonsense SMS messages coming in and their visual voicemail not working.

I keep getting text messages from an 8737 number that just contains nothing but nonsense in them....it happens just about anytime I restart my phone, or I get a forceclose issue. I've been getting them several times and hr almost since I got my Epic 4G Touch.

I also cant seem to get my Visual Voicemail to work. The messages come right to my SMS service under a 9016 number and it says I have to call another number to listen to my Voicemail.

Normally I would assume that might be a sprint issue, but I wanted to know if anyone else is having this issue....I also wanted to try and narrow this down as to whether this is a Phone/Sprint/Rom issue. Im want to say Ive been getting the weird texts since I activated the phone, but since I put this rom on almost as soon as I got the phone, its been hard to tell.

Any help that can be offered would be great. Thanks.

Phantom, keep up the great work, Im anxiously waiting to see what you come up with next.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jklong03:
Kudos

Well, just upgraded my EVO to this Epic Touch 4G and of course I had it rooted and CWM installed the next day (had to wait one day to keep wife happy!). I then installed the stable v1.5 and am loving it!!

I have to say, the only things I really miss from my EVO 4G running Sense 3.0 UI is:

1)the carousel effect on the home screens (I think my Launcher Pro that I purchased has this effect, but LP hasn't been updated in so long I'm a little leary of it now)

2) the "Genie" News and Weather widget. I have always liked this widget for it's simple interface and the fact you can configure what news categories you want to watch. I just pushed a copy of it to my System/app folder, set permissions to 644, rebooted and now have my old favorite Widget back.

Anyway guys, just wanted to report in and give out my 5 "Thanks" for the day (oh and to update my user signature....something everyone should have for when they post on XDA IMHO!!)

I am running Zedomax 4.1 and this ROM and it is running flawlessely. No soft resets, no FC's, nothing.... Just a heads up.

-Sayajin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ralexand:
1) If you are using the stock TW Launcher, I think the carousel you are looking for comes in with dragging your finger across the dots indicating which screen you're on. I may be off base with what you're looking for, but I think that's it.

2) I agree! That new and weather app is great and I was disappointed to learn that it's not available for every phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jklong03:
1) Not really the same effect, the 3D port on the EVO has more of a 3D (duh) effect when you switch between homescreen pages, and even "spins" if you flick the homescreens left or right. I'm pretty sure it is there in Launcher Pro, I may give LP a try and see

2) I'll attach the Genie widget to this post, it works fine with this ROM, just copy it to system/app folder, set permissions to 644 and reboot, working great for me that way!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _Burst_:
The new TouchWiz 4.5 is really great if you want to keep TW but have more features. It has infinite scrolling as well as a 3d effect for the app drawer.

Great ROM btw! No problems other than the ones I cause. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jklong03:
Thanks for the tip (button hit also!) now, where to get TW4.5 ??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
Well, mystery solved. It turns out GoSMS was the culprit that was breaking my Visual Voicemail and causing me to receive the 9016 voicemail texts.

Apparently if you go into settings for GOSMS>>then Advanced>>the Receive Settings, there is an option for "Disable other Message notification".

With that option checked, it will actually disable all other SMS services and that will mess up the visual voicemail because I guess that receives a form of text message that tells it you have a voicemail and to go and get it.

Once I unchecked this option, and rebooted my phone, I began to get all my missing voicemails. So for anyone else who is having this issue, I hope this clarifies.

This link explains it a bit further...

The vast majority of FC problems in this thread are due to people not wiping system in mount / storage in CWM5. This is probably because other ROMs haven't required this. Perhaps it should be in size 70 font on the OP :P

Other problems of things not working as they should (overglow color, number of previous apps shown, etc) are lockmod bugs that need to be worked out by the person working on lockmod.
