It's an hour later and I finally helped this dude get his phone working again. This just isn't for me, this is for the large number of people who will inevitably have the aforementioned problem because you're not supposed to just randomly format your system for no real reason.[/QUOTE]

I believe wiping and formatting are essentially the same thing.

Is anyone else having a problem with the capacitive search button? The one you hold to start voice? I can no longer use it after updating. I'm on 1.9.5 and it worked when I was on 1.8. Now I get a "This application TwLauncher(process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." error. If I switch to a different launcher it says the same thing (obviously with the other launcher replacing TwLauncher in the error). Does anyone know why this is, have a fix for it, or experiencing it themselves?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
When I hold the search button down I get same message but with whatever program I have open and launcher pro.

Actually, wiping deletes individual files from their directories but leaves the system structure and any protected files alone.

Formatting deletes everything from a partition/memory card, even files that may have been protected. It also recreates the file system including new directories and folders where files are saved.

Unlike erasing, formatting improves the overall performance of a phone/ROM.

Also important, factory reset does nothing to the system files, it just wipes user data and caches. Formatting system cleans out everything, including all of the "gunk" on the system partition and is relatively safe, just don't forget to re-flash a ROM while in recovery to avoid issues.

Though, I agree with AbsolutZeroGI that it would be nice to understand a bit more about why formatting system is considered necessary, iirc a majority of ROMs I have ever flashed have system format built in, which is probably why a ROM that asks us to do it ourselves throws up red flags.

I have also asked Koush to weigh-in on this question for posterity.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
I'm getting this too. random resets to lockscreen accompanied by the phone scanning my sd card again, and all the widgets reloading. There's also a small decrease in battery life.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
This is spattered all over this thread and stated in the OP, so you could have read a few posts and saved yourself the hassle, but I am guessing either you are coming from SB 1.8 or older or a different ROM and didn't format and wipe properly OR you are coming from SB 1.9 and did wipe.

In either case those actions would be incorrect.

Now you will need to Odin this kernel and flash fresh. Make sure to go back and read the OP so you know what you are doing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
Formatting system literally means just that, clear out the system directory. It does not hurt anything unless you just carelessly stop using your common sense. Anyone who is flashing their phone should already know that you need a zip of the rom available at all times, never flash on low battery, and most importantly THE RISK IS ON YOU. If you fail to meet these requirements, maybe you should be stock? And a quick fact, most roms format system upon flash in the background, and so do wiping scripts that you flash.

I know for as long as I've been doing this it's all about trial and error but at the end of the day it's my risk.

Great ROM BTW!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
But what specifically is the value in formatting system when upgrading ROM versions. In terms of this ROM what does it accomplish that couldn't be done through scripts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
It's a manual way of clearing the system. Instead of trying to overwrite files, you are starting on a clean slate. For example when you grab some food from a buffet or whatever you started on a clean plate. If you get more food and never get a new plate, stuff eventually starts to build up on the plate. The system folder believe it or not may not wipe or there may be files left in there that don't need to be there in the new version so flashing on top would not remove those files.

Launcher Rebooting Issues.

Has anyone here actually used this Combination Successfully?

Starburst 1.95

ICS Theme 1.5

Battery Mod v4

Go Launcher EX

Things work great up until I try to use the Go Launcher....when I install it and start to change settings such as home screen rotation, my phone starts to lag and triggers a Launcher reboot loop.

I see my Status bar icons begin to load but then the screen goes blank and starts to reboot over and over.

Im trying to narrow down the cause of this issue, weather its Rom, Theme, or Launcher......because I have seen this happen before I installed Go Launcher, but before this it usually only happens once or twice and then I get back to my home screen. With Go Launcher, I am stuck in a never ending launcher boot cycle.

Anyone else experience this issue?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
Actually this happened to me before, and back then I was using LoSKernel 1.0.0.8.

To get my phone working again I had to start over.

Wipe Data/Factory, install Startburst 1.9, then Install Starburst 1.9.5, then ICS theme 1.5, then Batt Mod 1.4.

Everything was working find for a few days so I thought I would give it a try again.

Installed Go Launcher, and within minutes of messing with Launcher pro the phone locked up and rebooting started.

It seems like tho that the Lock up is was causes the Reboots. Go Launcher just seemed to cause the Lock up. I mean that....the Lock up happens with or without Go Launcher, and when the lock up happens.....the boot loop is close to follow. Its just that Go Launcher made the lockup happen faster in this instance.

I dont know for sure, I started over again, and am seeing if this happens Sans ICS Theme 1.5, per Overstew's request. We will see what happens. Ill report back shortly.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
OK, I just verified.

I wiped Data/Restored Factory, Wiped System, Then Cache, Then Dalvik, Installed Starburst 1.9.

Then reboot into recover....Wiped Cache, Dalvik, installed 1.9.5.

Then installed Go Launcher....things were running smooth and I reset up the launcher. No issues, so I rebooted for a fresh start. Once the system reboot, it bypassed the lockscreen all together....my startus bar icons showed for a second, then I began rebooting.

It rebooted twice, and then finally asked me what launcher I wanted to load.

So at this point, ICS Theme 1.5 does not seem to be the culprit. And since I have seen this happen with and without Go Launcher, and I have also seen this using Multiple versions of LosKernel. That leaves, a Rom issue, A Kernel Issue, or a Phone issue.

Im gonna uninstall the launcher and hopefully that will get me back somewhat stable.

Great work guys, I hope this helps narrow and nail down some of these bugs.

Ok, I downloaded Starburst v1.9.5 which by the size of it, it looks like a full rom, Im coming from SB v1.4, I did all the wipes and Formatted the system, once I flash v1.9.5 it stays on the boot screen for minutes, Im talking about like 15-20 minutes and nothing. The OP states that it must be flashed over v1.9 but I cant find it anywhere. Can someone shine some light my way? Thanks.

Hey slick4mitch,

It sounds like you didn't flash 1.9 first. You have to make sure that you format/wipe/etc. and install 1.9 from CWM first. Boot into 1.9, let it sit, then wipe cache/dal and flash 1.9.5 over 1.9 (do not wipe data when flashing 1.9.5).

And where are you getting this information? Can you provide a link to back this claim up?

Are you talking about the leaked Galaxy Nexus system dump? Firstly, that's not a release, it's a leak/dump. Secondly, IT IS NOT SOURCE CODE. Very different. Dumps can only lead to a port, which are never as good as compiled-from-source builds.

While I appreciate your tenacity keeping up with the ICS status, but please get your facts straight. I truly hope I'm wrong and missed the ICS source code release...

As far as why it boots to CWM...I don't know, but in the newest version of CWM the power button gets "disengaged" for some reason and it's actions are replaced by the "home" soft key. I've heard recently in this thread that somebody said if you hit up or down 15-20x it will reengage the power button but the functionality is still there in the home soft key....that should at least let you restore a nandroid.

Google Music streaming

Has anyone figured out what was removed from this ROM that broke Google Music streaming? On 3.0 and the leaked 4.0, it will only play local music or online music that has been fully cached (i.e. no streaming). Sometimes (especially in landscape) it will display the error "Failed to play the requested stream." I've attached a relevant logcat with the error.

Things I've tried that made no difference:

Using Market version

Using leaked ICS version

Installing to /system/app/ (although this does make the intitial Google account login more reliable)

Installing DrmProvider.apk from the Removed.zip

Removing all authorized devices under Settings at http://music.google.com

Clearing cache, data, uninstalling and reinstalling Google Music app

Any ideas?

My Google music works perfect. I am using the ICS version and with or without cache I get online streaming. 3g isn't strong enough to stream though.

Can I do this right after I use this method to root? Or will it mess up because it modifies the kernel already? Sorry, just got this phone yesterday and I'm still new to rooting >~<
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grandmastem:
Hey, yeah... you can flash the Starburst ROM after rooting via that method. However, you don't really technically even need to have a rooted kernal to flash Starburst (this is a complete ROM that comes with a kernal, su, and busybox) because it will just overwrite your current root setup anyways. The only thing you need to Clockworkmod Recovery installed- I posted my steps on installing Starburst 1.9.5 a few pages back... if you want, use my steps below:

I had to install CWM so I could flash the Starburst ROM- I did this by installing the stocked 'pulled' and repacked kernal with the latest version of CWM from chris41g:

http://forums.acs-developers.com/sho...cked-with-CWM5

Once this was installed, I booted back in to my phone and let it sit for a bit. Then, I loaded the following two files on to my sdcard:

- http://dev-host.org/z1jsf3k9lh44/sta...7.11_v1.9_.zip

- http://dev-host.org/atqr5cvk9gij/sta....11_v1.9.5.zip

I then booted in to CWM x.2.7 and cleared EVERYTHING... data, cache, dalvik, pretty much anything I could wipe because at this point I have no data I am trying to save and could care less what is wiped away. I then flashed "stable_epic_starburst_10.27.11_v1.9_.zip" and rebooted and let my phone sit for 10-15 minutes again.

After installing 1.9, I rebooted again into CWM (should now be x.2.3) and wiped everything again EXCEPT data. Then, flashed "stable_epic_starburst_10.30.11_v1.9.5.zip" and rebooted and let the phone sit again for 10-15 minutes. I then odin'd the 1.0.0.8 exp LoST kernal to my phone and restarted.

Before I started to install software, customize my phone, etc... I immediately plugged my phone in and charged it to 100%, downloaded batter calibration from the market, deleted my .bin file and unplugged and just let my battery drain using normal use. Normal use for me included setting up my accounts, playing around with the settings, etc. -- NOTE: I still did not install any software at this point. I simply used what came with the ROM and setup settings until my phone shutoff. Plugged my phone in without turning it on and charged to 100%, turned it back on and booted it up and plugged in again to "top off" the battery again.

Now, I started installing software, etc. and ever since then have had great battery life. Hope this process helps some with bad battery life.

-Grand

EDIT: OH yeah, those steps above have you upgrading the kernal to LoST Kernal Experimental x.0.8, which you DO NOT have to do. You can stop once you have flashed Starburst 1.9.5 and you are booted up in to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
I had no idea that this is stock functionality. You mofos must yes the manuel out something :-P

Yes that should work just fine. The rom will flash a new kernel over that one.

Download both 1.9, and 1.9.5, to your sd card. Install 1.9 first, then 1.9.5. That is very important. Read all the directions, twice, and make sure you follow then to a T! You should not have any problems. Have fun :-)

I had this same exact problem with 1.9.5 and just odined the new clock works mod and it fixed it. Do a search in dev section and you will find the CwM odin. If not pm me and ill e-mail it to you bro

EDIT- nevermind you are using the home button instead. Glad your problem got fixed.

I cannot believe how many repeats there are and how fast this thread moves. I read that most roms have a script that auto formats system when flashing a rom. I think if phantom hacker would include that in this rom like most other roms it would save alot of posts and head aches as every one is sused to having the script in there rom. I think the evo must have had it in every rom because I never had to do it on any of those roms. But then again maybe since this isn't a htc and its a sammy its necessry? Idk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Sad truth

The Dump we got today isn't as good as source code BUT it is considerably better than developers trying to work from only the SDK, which is what PhantomHacker and others were trying to do until today AND despite the difficulty of using the SDK, they have been making progress. Visit my REWARD thread and see for yourself as the devs communicate with each about creating the ICS ROM for our Epic 4G Touch.

So as I keep saying ...
