That's good, you shouldn't.

An amendment to Chunology's post:

Coming from any SB version to SB 1.9:

Boot to recovery

Format System

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache (No need to touch data in any way and in fact seems better not to based on multiple posts.)

Flash ROM

Coming from any other ROM to SB up to version 1.9:

Boot to recovery

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

Format System

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Flash ROM

Coming from SB 1.9 to SB 1.9.5

Boot to recovery

Flash 1.9.5 update

*You can wipe cache and dalvik cache if you like, but I have completed the process successfully 11 times over the past three days just flashing the 1.9.5 zip no wipes.

Have you gone into settings and wiped data for Gmail? That normally clears things up.

Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All>Gmail>Clear data

sorry, ive posted before but no response.... does anybody have the sprint id apk?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steelersmb:
Has anyone tried flashing another battery indicator? I flashed one from the OP and it caused my phone to go into a reboot cycle. I had to reflash 1.95 to correct it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shinobicRyo:
This is indeed an awesome ROM. You should include single swipe notifications like in CM7! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Plus one

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Another vote for this request. Swipe notifications would be the sex.

Well the stock kernel with CWM seems to have fixed my reboot issues. Of course, I will have one now that I have posted this, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
people on LoSt 1.0.0.8, still working well for you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lonewuhf:
So I have an issue. After I was formatted system and wiped my data to install 1.9 I accidentally reboot the phone before I installed the rom, now when I'm in clockwork mod I get a

E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]

E:Can't mount /sdcard/

error whenever I try to select the zip to install. How do I fix this?

Edit: The phone won't load past the boot screen either because there is no rom installed. I even tried to reset it to stock and it won't load past the startup screen :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
start from the beginning again, odin a kernal with root and cwm 5. Flash the rom on top.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Squawkt22:
I'm seeing this too and I'm using SB v1.6. I even cleared the cache & data for GMail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lonewuhf:
I did this after flashing back to stock, and I still get the same errors in CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robosiris:
What happened it seems your phone (when in cwm mode) is not able to detect sd card on your phone. It has happened to me twice and I thought my phone was bricked. Put your phone in odin mode to install clockmod recovery version .26 on your phone via Odin. if done succesfully, this will allow your phone to detect files on sd and external sd card on your phone. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
I assume things were working with stock, but things crap out when you flash this ROM? If so, use an md5 checker to make sure the checksum of your download matches that of this ROM (posted on the devsite download page)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lonewuhf:
I don't do much with flashing CWM in odin, what do I install it under? Do I use pda like if I were flashing a kernel? Also the CWM file is just a .zip, is it ok to flash this file in odin?

Edit: Ok, I know the .zip can't be flashed in odin, so I don't know why I asked >.< But I can't seem to find a CWM .tar file anywhere.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

No, when I'm at stock it won't load past the Samsung Galaxy S startup screen. I was on starbust 1.8 then was going to update to 1.9.5 so I did the formatting then accidentally restarted the phone before I could flash the 1.9 rom (I know you have to flash 1.9.5 on top of 1.9). Ever since I booted back into recover this has been happening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
Download acs kernel "stock pulled" repacked with cwm 5 & make sure it is the tar file, not the zip. Then place it in the pda section with only auto reboot checked.

You can't get into cwm at all? It won't let you choose zip from internal storage?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lonewuhf:
This worked! Thanks for all your help guys! You've saved my phone more than once :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
No problem. Glad I could help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robosiris:
Yes, the latest version of cwm (.tar file) is to flashed on phone via Odin. And yes, its similar to flashing to "rooting" your device. And no, it's a .tar file, not zip. Search for the file on net, on on this site. Store it on your computer.

This is what worked for me, I learned this on my own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lonewuhf:
Yeah, I knew you couldn't odin a zip file, it was a stupid question >.< Sorry!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robosiris:
I'm glad you restored your phone :).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
One other small nuisance:

When you go into the phone log, it automatically defaults to "All Logs" where you will see all calls and all messages. If you click "View By" and want to sort by one of the subcategories (voice calls, missed calls, etc.) the "View By" gets defaulted back to "All Logs" after a reboot.

Tutorial video!

Here is a tutorial video for 1.9.

I know its a little late but seeing as how people are having issues I thought it might help. Sorry if I sound annoying or quiet it was very early this morning...:cool:

I'm chewing through battery like crazy. A little early morning surfing before hitting the shower and I'm going through about 10-15% during that time. Using Dolphin 7, Plume, and Facebook usually during that time, as well as hitting up the market for updates and checking out the Amazon DOTD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SayWhat10:
yes, a HUGE nuisance

but i see its the same way in some other custom roms too

wonder what the problem is
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elingreen:
email

does the AOSP email replace the existing email or are they now installed side by side?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grandmastem:
It replaces it (the Samsung stock app, not Gmail)... there are steps to revert back in this thread though. Someone posted the apk to the old one and steps to install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
Uninstall gmail with titanium backup then reinstall gmail app. This fixed it for me; clearing cache and data didn't help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grandmastem:
+ 1 here...

Or, just steps on how to remove it completely and not have to freeze it everytime. I prefer the samsung stock.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
Is it just me?

I noticed EXTREMELY poor battery life on this rom... after 14 hours I was down to 35%... doing nothing different than I had been...

Using ViperRom I would get 1day 4 hours with light-moderate use.

I am not sure why Viper would be better than Star...

Anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
that and a wifi keep scanning fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RoadRAGEN:
Neither do I that's why I include bubbys kernel in mine, it's a stock kernel with cwm added
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Guys if your not getting overscroll (i removed it from the browser though as it caused lag) and still have ads it is beacuse you didn't wipe fully. I assure you these are added and working. As for the ram tweaks that was meant for coming soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:
OK. Will wipe and try again. I need to reflash again anyway. Testing new mms bubbles.

Any chance of getting a stock kernel for your release? Flash separate or maybe a second release with it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Yes I will make a flashable zip for you guys. I'm experimenting with different kernels so they may change with different realases also starting to work on one myself. Tons of goodness coming to the et4g!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tucci999:
Is this for the Epic 4g Touch or the Samsung Tab 10.1? very confused?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:
It's for out Epic 4G Touch, of course.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
This is for the Epic 4g Touch that I now support :-) . Disregard whoever said it wasn't.

Alot of updates are coming out today everyone, I think you all will be pleased!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
Cool, thanks for your hard work!!

BTW, I think the confusion about Tab vs Epic Touch might be due to this sentence in OP's Install Instructions:

"Once booted, let the tab sit for a few minutes for the best results."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Bleh thanks. Copy/paste error, posted that two in the morning lol. Sorry for the confusion.

The overscroll glow does not work on mine. I have wiped twice before flashing. No biggie. :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Hmm... Weird it is working for me. Have you tried in apps like gmail and xda? Is this workong for anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Alright I will get that sorted out then, and in the release today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Good to see you here PhantomHacker! I ran StarBurst on my G-Tab 10.1

Very smooth, stable ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
Its working for me, I'm looking at it right now...it doesnt work in all menus, best way to test is go into SETTINGS and scroll up and down, it should definitely be present in there, as long as you've wiped data(factory reset), cache, and dalvik ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I thought I was the only one who saw this or I had a bad download. I can briefly see the pixels when it starts. I don't see this on my other phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
I saw it too and it got a bit annoying so I turned off all animations in display settings no biggy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saywhat4118:
So is there no way to fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saywhat4118:
Yeah I didn't see them on my other phones either. Oh well it's no wonder biggie but my 3G not working is a huge deal. I don't know why it isn't working
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saywhat4118:
Just flashed back a nandroid backup of the midnight rom and I have my 3G back so I guess it's this rom. Wonder why though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erislover:
so far, so good here!

I flashed this coming from stock with zedomax's v3 kernal. Wiped everything as instructed, flashed 1.1 first, let boot fully, then went into recovery and flashed 1.2 update on top. All is well (even my wifi is working now, as in it connects no problem and I can browse the web, although it does still say it's scanning all the time...).

The theme looks pretty nice, too, but I did notice under settings, about phone, build number it says I'm on starburst version 1.1...is that a mistake or did something go wrong with the flash to 1.2?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DonutGrunt:
It's not this ROM

3G signal loss is happening TO EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF ROM

It can happen within 5 min, or 5 days. It's random and it's a bug on Samsung's end.

Flashing a new ROM gives your 3G signal back because you have to reboot your phone, rebooting your phone when you lose 3G fixes the problem, until it loses signal again.

IT DOESNT MATTER WHICH ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well, if you are a speed demon, turning off screen animations will give you a slight bump on benchmarks ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Its not the rom either. I posted yesterday that 3g has to be enabled in this rom. You have to go to setting, wireless and networking and then mobile network. You have to check 3g.

By the way this running great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Loving the rom. thanks for your efforts! I have a question which I hope is not too off topic. I'm coming from htc devices and I feel like a noob all over again. Now, this rom comes with Zedomax's kernel. Is my understanding correct if I say I can use Odin to flash a different kernel (not that I intend to but I'm just using it as an example) and remain on the same rom?

Now is my understanding also correct when I say that if I flash a rom through recovery (instead of Odin), my kernel gets replaced with whatever the "rom chef" baked into the rom?

Just trying to understand this new flashing processes.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chasoo:
This worked perfectly, thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
Correct, but you can always flash another kernel back over top.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
I've been having issues with the power button not responding as well. I only had the issue once within recovery and after rebooting its been fine every since. If i let the phone sit with the screen off and hit the power button the screen takes a few seconds to come on. Not sure if that's power button related, though. Hopefully its not a hardware issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Power Button delay

I'm having same issue but may have had it BEFORE I installed Starburst v1.2

I've also noticed that if I ower OFF while plugged into USB cable and then Power ON, instead of phone coming on, I get a battery symbol in center of screen and phone does not power ON. Anybody know if this is normal and why it happens?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayv1717:
If I wipe data/factory restore will it wipe out my internal sd card?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luigic81:
No, just wipes the rom and downloaded apps etc.. When you do a wipe it will be like setting up the phone brand new, re enter your google account etc.. but all your sd card stuff including backups, pics, vidoes, music will not be wiped
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
OK, not sure if this is kernel related, ROM related, or phone related.. but here goes. I posted this on the Zedo root thread and got nothing.. so I am hoping someone here has insight.

I know a lot of people had No Service/Signal bug after the initial kernel root. I am not completely up to date on whether that was solved or not, but I am on 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxEpicTouchKernelc3-g165267b-dirty.

I was on that kernel from the time it was released until yesterday. During that time, the phone would randomly go roaming or show No Service. I would reboot and all was fine. This was all on the stock ROM.

Somewhere, I read that one possible fix was to do an MSL reset. So, I got the MSL code from a terminal program (which is NOT the same as the one Sprint gave me), and did the reset. When I did that, the phone rebooted and then was bricked - stuck in the Sprint animation loop. CRAP. I didn't do a back up. I didn't realize an MSL reset was risky. Oh well.

So then I went and downloaded StarBurst ROM v1.1 and flashed it.

Now, on this ROM, so far, my signal hasn't shown up as No Service, but I am very confused by the signal meters. Sometimes they are 4 bars gray and sometimes 4 bars green. Is grey the new No Signal indicator? It seems that the bars sometimes flash between green and gray at 4 bars. This doesn't seem normal. Also, it could be my eyes playing tricks on me, but it looked like there were two different shades of gray signal. Yes? No?

Is there somewhere in the menus or hidden menus that shows real signal strength in dBm? I do have a Sprint Mobile Broadband card (two of them) and comparing would be a good start.

What's next? Rolling back PRL?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
After I noticed this I went and odin'd back to stock and then tried to see if it works and it still gave me the same problem. So I went in to sprint and they gave me a new phone. They said it was a hardware issue. They still do the 30 day return policy here so I was in luck. They gave me another new battery because they couldnt find another screen protector laying around to put on my phone :) sucks this phone gets good battery life so its pretty much pointless but it's the thought that counts. Im rooted again with the stock deodexed rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KaliS-Pugilist:
I just checked and it says v1.1 for me as well, although I did the v1.2 update. I don't think its a biggie though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saywhat4118:
Your right it probably was sprint's network and looks like the main issue I have with this phone is... sprints network. anyways, I rebooted like 4 times after flashing and still couldn't get 3G data. Wifi and wimax worked fine. 3G DATA was enabled in wireless settings. I even turned it off and turned it on and tried playing with that but nothing happened.

Since my 3G is working now I'll try flashing again and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kline1:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] james33440:
If I try to flash a theme, my status bar looks like several are on top of each other.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crevis24:
Are you using the OC Deamon feature in the viper rom? Trying to see if you are comparing apples to apples.

If you are, then there could be the difference in that you would need cpu master or setcpu on Starburst to accomplish the same features.

Also look at the kernals that you are using in the 2 different roms. That could have an affect on signal strength and the phone polling more often to find signal.

I can use any ROM on wifi with HEAVY usagee and get a day out of it. Once I go out and start using the 1x/3g signals, the battery drains in half a day with the same usage.

So I am not sure if it is the ROM, because this is solid, as it relates more to the phone trying to find better signal and constantly switching between 1x and 3g.

Sorry for the rant, but I just wanted to put my 2 cents in since alot of people are complaining about the battery life in this ROM vs. Viper. Both are good, you just have to work with the one that is best for your phone and battery.

Trial and error, my friends

Thanks again, Phantom! Great job as always

@PhantomHacker,

Could you comment on this for me, if possible, or anyone else who has tried it. I want to remove the AOSP Clock that is now included with 1.9.5. I can freeze [Alarms] Clock 2.0.2 (it shows the same icon as the AOSP Clock) - however, there is also two versions of "Clock 1.0" listed above that in Ti... one has the stock samsung icon and the other a plan standard clock icon and that is what is throwing me off...

Should I freeze or uninstall either of those "Clock 1.0"s? I only see an .apk called DockClock in the /system/app directory too. If I delete that, will there still be a startup script called for the AOSP version?

I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks for all this hard work you are putting in.

-Grand
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
This is pretty much par for the course when charging internally (inside the phone) at least on a non-SBC kernel. When someone comes out with an SBC kernel for our phone you will be able to truly top off. Until then, you can use an external charger to achieve 100% capacity if the drop off bothers you.
