Just downloaded, and editing to my liking before flashing, but I noticed, and have noticed before, you have 2 copies of the market included. vending.apk and com.android.vending-1.apk. Is this just an oversight or is there a point to this?

Either way, great ROM, have loved it since v1. Keep it up :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Followed every instruction to a "T" and phone keeps booting to CWM 5.0.2.3 every time after the Galaxy SII splash screen...:mad: What gives?

(Flashed another ROM, and that went just fine)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Bad download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
I, for one, when taking several pictures over the course of an hour or two (ie. Daughters birthday party), like keeping the camera app running and just turn the screen on and off to perserve battery. So as not to have to run the camera app again next time i turn it on.

But I guess that's just my preference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
Does anyone know if "Phantom's Battery Mod" works with SB v1.7? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I was wondering that same thing when I was running SB rom, Linpack 23xx?? I can confirm that it is related to the rom, not kernel (it's not a bad thing apparently) but it does raise an eyebrow when you first see it. I've tested SB rom with every kernel available including stock and still got the same results with Quadrant 2800-3000, Linpack, Antutu benchmark 4700- all came back MUCh lower than when completely stock. I eventually Odin back to stock (system + kernel, unrooted), ran tests again, and they all came back "normal" - linpack 85.xx, quadrant 3400-3700, etc. I even flashed different custom kernels with same results.

The results change because of tweaks in the rom, not saying it's good or bad, or makes any difference at all, but it might clear some questions up for some people.

Devs work is greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Fair enough, makes sense to me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] analyst28:
Is the theme that came from including the lockscreen mod still included? I had issues with the blue on blue small progress bars...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
@Duce - but did it feel snappy?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSJSayajin:
I noticed that this post did not get a response and I am also interested in the answer. I use Titanium Backup Pro to back up and restore all my data and I wonder if that hurts anything?

Most likely you will just have to try it and see what happens. I would imagine that you may get a fc on some apps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KaliS-Pugilist:
flashed v1.7 last night, all is running smooth and fast. I just had a hot/quick reboot, hopefully they aren't frequent and at the worst times like with v1.6....

am I understanding correctly that these resets are caused by the lockmod?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Possibly... I'm using widget locker and have not expierenced any hot reboots or force closes.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
I love the ROM, but I don't like the theme, a bit too colorful. Any way to maybe have a stock theme zip included? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
I started using the 4tab lock screen yesterday on 1.6 and never noticed any hot reboots. Flashed 1.7 last night and still running perfect.

I'm not exactly sure what a "hot" reboot is? get's hot, then reboots? or just reboots in the middle of doing something? Anyway, no unexplained reboots for me.

PS. after flashing this ROM, i reflash the StockCWM5 kernel via CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Don't see how that can be. Anyway, didn't work for me and I'm liking this "other" Rom. Might give it another shot later tonight maybe.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
The hot reboot doesn't actually reboot. Instead the phone acts like it has just booted and goes through the motions: media scanning, launcher start, restart background apps, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Idid have several hot reboots on 1.6 and really laggy lockscreen. Hope 1.7 helps

Better theme for Starburst V1.7 ?

Try the ICS Starburst v1.3 Stable.zip which I added to Starbust V1.7 update. Just download the zip, reboot into CWM, wipe cache & davlik 3 times each BEFORE you install the zip from your SD card.

This theme changes overscroll to cyan, changes/enlarges phone keypad typeface, changes icons in settings, modifies AOSP unlock to 2 simple circles and gives the overall feeling of running a CyanogenMod CM7 on the Epic 4G Touch.

Most importantly, it has not caused any problems with the Starburst V1.7 ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
Ya, I did see your theme :). I like it, but I was hoping for something either a stock Gingerbread, or TW4 that the phone came with. I dunno, I do like the ICS theme, it's just something about the dialer and too much blue with the clock being all blue and stuff.

The theme on Starburst is a little too colorful with loading bars and all, and the bare gingerbread rom has a lot of broken stuff and I rather like my lockscreen TW notification things. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zzim:
Just an FYI the camera still has sound in silent mode, when trying to take a video there is still a beep noise. Just pointing this out.

Also if I am already on 1.6 and I just flash 1.7 without have to wipe anything or do I need to start over and wipe my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Linpack duel proc mode gives me like 28.xxx idk what's going on
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
For those still getting reboots I am editing the lockmod to clear it up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
You can delete most of the sounds in system/media/audio/UI, the one that's not there to delete is the focus sound.

To flash 1.7 just wipe cache + dalvik cache, You'll keep all your settings and data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zzim:
Going to try and flash now and also remove the audio for the video camera.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Conventional wisdom says never to restore System apps or data. Sometimes coming from one version to the next of the same ROM, there won't be any issues, but I have yet to here of consistent success restoring system from one ROM to another.

Downloaded apps can pretty much always be restored as can data for most of those apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
FWIW, I have never had reboots on this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Figure I would throw this out there but what about an odex SB rom with over's theme? Guy can dream right? Haha

REWARD for FIRST Ice Cream Sandwich Epic 4G Touch ROM

News reports are indicating that Samsung may have already released the full code for ICS and after reading about some of the obvious and hidden new features, I want it bad enough on my Epic 4G Touch to post a reward and challenge others to match my reward (a/k/a donation) to whomever delivers the first "working" Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for our Sprint phones. By "working" I mean that it contains all the new features of ICS and won't crash, freeze or unroot when upgrading from a rooted E4GT running stock.

I hereby pledge $20 US Dollars towards the aforementioned Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch.

I also think it would be VERY cool if the Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch was THE FIRST GS2 to get Ice Cream since we were the first to get it on a USA carrier.

P.S. I will post updates about ANY feedback or progress reports I receive for an ICS E4GT ROM at my epinions.com review of this smartphone (which I typically update several times a week)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Why not open a reward thread in general?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dja2k:
Hey Phantom, what changed from 1.5 to 1.6\1.7 in the tweaks that is causing a drop in benchmark scores? I know that scores don't mean much, but still curious. Thanks!

dja2k
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sbtim:
I was wondering this also. My CPU test scores have dropped in half.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Great Idea

Great idea... I'll do it tonight. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crevis24:
Have y'all tried changing the kernal? Maybe that is the issue. He might have just went with a more stable kernal for Los issues. I don't know for sure, but you may want to try that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
it's not the kernel because people have tested the same kernel with different ROM with different scores.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sdotk:
My data is not working...all i see is 5 empty bars, no 3g no nothing. Any help on how i can fix this? I tried rebooted and reflashing the rom but still nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
It's your phone slow or laggy...???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dja2k:
That is besides the point! Its like if someone feels great, but then go to the doctor to find out they have cancer. How did they know, cause the doctor ran tests.

My phone may be running fast, but there is something definitely wrong under the hood.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fabs109:
Ok have 1.7 and all seems to running amazing except im still having a issue with calls. It takes 5 to 6 rings always for my phone to start ringing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Ya I agree. All the benches I have done such antutu amd nenamark have dropped of 50%. I used to get 90s mflops and now its 20s. Something is critically wrong some where
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KaliS-Pugilist:
THANK YOU! I look forward to the update. today I was playing back a recording an investigation I had just conducted and the phone had a reboot. glad it didn't happen when recording, but that cut it to close for comfort....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] defmytones:
1.7 has standard kernal, only 1.2 ghz. Could that be the issue why some of you are experiencing low benchs? Mine seems to be running well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
Hey phantom, can you add my "Blue Glass, Phone Candy Remix Theme" to ever lost if themes? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Yes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
If you read the post for Oct 16th you will find the devs response on this subject. I won't quote it, let's just say it's pointless. Let's move on, please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Okay first of all, for all of you saying there is "something wrong under the hood" or something is critically wrong you are mistaken. First of all, most devs believe benchmarks are pointless, and rightly so. Because they mean nothing. Secondly, the linpack scores were due to me removing some processes to conserve battery life such as drm, there is no ill effect in doing this. Nothing is wrong. Stop saying something is when you think benchmarks can show "Something is wrong with a rom". Sorry, for the rant. Let innovation continue. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
agreed in regards to "benchmarking" software on android. It certainly isn't diagnostic software. Probably just warrants an update in the OP to stop having to address it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
Linpack is obsolete! It's pretty much proven that you can't trust linpack any more, if something like the DRM getting removed can cause low scores.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockethot:
So I have to format the system and do a full data wipe even if I'm coming from 1.6?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Answered already, you can wipe dalvik and cache and it should do. But if you get fcs you know why.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
You should maybe put a faq section in the op to help with the redundant questions. :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KaliS-Pugilist:
rant away! I'm really tired of the people being critical and winning about this ROM. if you don't like it or something is wrong, go back to stock or another ROM. otherwise sit tight and enjoy this ride of innovation and let phantom know of issues so he can do his thang. but stop all the *****in and change your maxipad...yeesh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
OP - does it matter if the rom is odex or deodex when installing the lock mod? I want to install the lock mod but have odex rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sbtim:
That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm just providing feedback. I'm not whining. I still use this rom every day. So you seem to be the one with the knot in their panties, not people who are simply posting what they see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
It uses deodexed framework. So deodexed only sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
But technically its just pngs and an apk right? If I knew which ones were affected I could push them over to my phone right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
No it's framework and jars and systemui all are effected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I was able to do this on an odex rom using ninjamorph and modifying the framework files and apks. Not sure how to update the jars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Can we have the link to the overclocked kernel please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
You mean to the lost kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
The one that can be overclocked from 1.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
It was the exp lostless kernel.

I'm on v1.6. Everything working as expected except my bluetooth. I keep trying to connect it to my car telephone (my car picks up the signal and my phone does too) but they won't connect. I tried everything without luck "connection unsuccessful", anyone else with this problem...fix?

LoStKernel Thread

LoStKernel Download link page(from the OP)

You want the latest "EXP" build.

@OP - Best ROM for this phone bar none! Just installed the newest version with the experimental LoStkernel, and it's running great! Love how active you are in your thread, and the frequent updates!! Thank you :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
totally off topic, but this thread totally feels like a warm 2.x thread, OG evo users know what i am talking about
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
Above and another question: If I update to v1.7 from v1.6 (hopefully this will fix my bluetooth), do I have to factory reset?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
as answered 100 times previously in this thread, no. the cache wipes will be sufficient.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
Thanx jermzz with an attitude lol j/k (cache and dalvik or only cache?).

Since your a good jermzz do you know if bluetooth was a problem in v1.6 and maybe fixed in v1.7? You da man =)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dja2k:
It was a simple question....I didn't know where the drop in Bench Scores came from, ROM or Kernel, so that's why I was asking. Geez guys take a chill pill before you take things out of context.

Bluetooth in v1.6 and v1.7 (and ICS ROM update)

Mine working perfectly in V1.7 but in v1.6 I had a problem with it shutting down during phone calls, which I attributed to the experimental Lostkernel in that version. V1.7 has a better Lostkernel which has not caused me ANY problems.

BTW y'all, in less than 7 hours we've already gotten donation pledges of $465 for the first developer who gives us a working ICS ROM for the E4GT. If you care to watch the fun or join us with your pledged donation to sweeten the pot, go to REWARD for Ice Cream Sandwich ROM

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
There was a disclaimer on his thread during the beta versions that openly and explicitly said that the rom wipes data when you flash it (he was working out a bug where it was bootlooping when it didn't wipe data). If you didn't know then that is your fault for not reading the whole OP, not his.

What's funny is that a few posts after this one you give roadRAGEN a bunch of **** for bashing you...but this post right here is discrediting (read: bashing) his work. What happened in the IRC happened in the IRC (we unbanned you, btw, against his wishes and it'll stay that way), but you coming onto a rival rom (which used HIS updater script...look at the credits) and talking **** about his work makes you just as big of an asshole as he is.

You both have firsts, good job. You got first root 24 hours before anyone else. He had the first bootable rom a few days before anyone else. In a dev forum full of "WIPs" he had the download link up first for people to try. I'm not saying he's blameless (ask around in the irc channel, we all know he's a total douchebag), but you stooping down to his level and publicly insulting his work makes you everything you called him... even when both of your accomplishments fall on near equal grounds (interpret that as you will).

This little kiddie fight going on needs to stop. This rom and AEMod are on equal grounds and people's opinions shouldn't be swayed because you got kicked in your cyber gonads. I use your kernel with his rom and it works PERFECTLY WELL and always has.

Now neither of you have the last word and you've both been verbally assaulted over the internet equally...so you can both shut up and quit bashing one another!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
When you play games (peggle and Angry Birds for me), my phone likes to get a little warm. So I undervolt 25-100mv to maximize it. The minute heat gets to any phone, bye bye battery cells lol. Its like pot for batteries. It burns brain cells. :p

And yeah for sure keep it that way lol. Anything over 8 (stock Evo) is good for me. Are you running an experimental kernel or the stable version? I couldn't undervolt, so I said screw it I'm trying the experimental one haha.

Boosting battery without tweaking voltage

People: By simply following one post advice, I'm now getting over 15 hours on a charge: Run battery down to zero (where phone shuts itself off). Recharge with phone off to 100% (took mine about 6 hours). Reboot into CWM, advanced and wipe the battery memory. Then turn on your phone and see what kind of difference it makes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
I did that as well too. That got me a couple more hours. I had a problem where my phone didn't charge and I had to turn the phone off, let it charge, then clear battery stats. Got me through an entire day and then some lol.

Please read through posts before posting...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
Thanx man. Based on your previous post, (default voltage for you is at 1175) you went even lower to 1150 or 1075 (because you said you lowered mv by 25-100)?

BTW, has anyone flashed ICS theme that was released 10.19.2011? I'm about to go on a flashing frenzy tonight...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
No, I actually texted myself the mv for each value. And when I restarted my phone, it actually went back. So I read my text messages and changed it again, then took another picture. 1200-1175 is the lowest I could go. Every time I went lower, my phone restarted almost immediately.

And I have the ICS theme on here... It is so nice. The dialer is my favorite. Popup windows have a blue blur around the edges, and my audiomanager bars look sweet when I am adjusting them in the app. Want screens?
