Siik man, I wasn't too sure about it but now you lit the fire lol.

Correct me if I'm wrong:

I'm about to do complete wipe per instructions in OP

Before reboot flash ICS theme then reboot

Or reboot, back to recovery then flash ICS?

Btw, screen of contacts or anything not on the ICS theme thread would be cool =)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
For the theme, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash. I'll post screens gimme a sec. :)

SB 1.7 with ICS has all my customers seeing green with envy. It's just faster, smoother and looks better than anything else out there. I'd definitely be down to donating $20 as well for a working "full" ICS ROM, not just a theme. No LOS's since downloading lost kernal, about to grab the experimental to get some OC going... and since skipping 1.6 for 1.7 have not had one single issue. Seriously Phantom, you rock! And to everyone else in this thread, I dont think I've been around a friendlier, more helpful bunch than you all. Thanks many times for bailing me out of some pretty scary situations. I'd donate to you all if the M3 wasn't eating all my money :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:

I have some screeshots of lockscreens issues...

EPT unlock does not show battery info on lockscreen...

If you check Rotary Lockscreen pull down under Rotary Revamped and do not uncheck before switching to Rotary Unlock there is no unlock only messaging app and sound option...

Lastly the tiny blue battery while charging does not move with rhe battery info if you move the text around. The picture above shows the battery icon to the left and the info to the right. Here is one with info centered and to the left...

I hopped on 1.5 the day it was released, which was also the day I got my E4GT. :-D Everything was pretty smooth, but I did experience LoS at least once a day. So, naturally, I stalked this thread and waited for 1.7 to drop, opting to pass on 1.6 cause I knew another update was just around the corner. :-D And now, ive been on 1.7 since it was released and i can honestly say it's been very kind to me so far. No LoS'es yet! *crosses fingers* :-P Streaming 720P .mkv's and even some 1080P .mp4 videos over WiFi is buttery smooth with the help of mx player. 3G/4G speeds seem pretty much the same as compared to previous SB ROMs. Battery life has also been great so far. I'm going on almost 16 hours of moderate use and I still have 29% left, which is more than good enough for my needs. Suffice it to say, I am pretty satisifed with my phone (and this ROM) right now, although I do miss the 4tab lock screen. But I'm sure youll have all the 'kinks' in that worked out in no time anyway. In the meantime, ill just keep enjoying this awesome ROM and this beast that I call a phone. ;) Thanks for the great work, Phantom! Keep it coming.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epiphany9x:
Noob question alert... is there a way to go from straight stock (no root) to Starburst? I think ODIN can only flash .tar files. If so, what's the best flashing path to get Starburst with Lost kernel? Didn't see a clear guide to go from stock to here so don't want to risk trying it myself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaadictedone:
OK here goes...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kExN-Y2pfxA&sns=em

Follow the video ...

Reboot

Download SB 1.7 and transfer to SD card on your phone

Boot into CWM by holding volume up and power until you get a blue text screen which you see at the end of the video if you watched the WHOLE thing...

Go down with the volume button and go to mounts and storage.

Hit the home button or power button to select it... go down to Format System and select it... another screen comes up with lots of no's but you want to select yes... repeat 3 times total.

Go to the bottom of the listing in mounts and storage and select Go Back... you might nees to do this twice to get to the main screen where Reboot System is on top... on this screen you want to select Clear Cache and again select yes after and repeat 3 times ...

Lastly you will go back to the main screen where reboot system is at the top and go down to Advanced and go down to Clear Dalvik Cache and select it and again select yes and repeat 3 times.

YOU WANT TO DO THEM IN THAT EXACT ORDER!

DO NOT REBOOT OR SELECT ANYTHING ELSE THIS IS ALL DONE ON THE SAME SESSION!

Finally your ready to flash the ROM you saved to your SD card on your phone.

You go down to about the middle where you select Install From ZIP. There you get a listing of locations for the ROM you downloaded which should be in ZIP form. Try the top first option Install From SD (Card) if not try the bottom option Install From Internal SD (Card) under either you should see the Starburst (etc.) ZIP file. You want to select that and again select yes and it will autorun. Do not touch anything and wait til it says complete and you get a little script with information.

You then want to select the Go Back option and then you can select Reboot System and wait... leave your phone boot and sit for a few minutes to build caches and make a good connection to the network.

TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Good luck and I hope I have been helpful.

Anything I missed anyone? Feel free to add/comment.

Thanks!

There you can enter whatever your like to see in your lockscreen...

how is this rom in terms of this infamous LOS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
Using this with the experimental loStkernel and I have had zero since I switched to that kernel. Think it is more kernel related than rom.

Hey I know your the dev and your like irritated with with people asking question or trying there hardest and going out of there way to do what they think are some good tests to let you know how your rom is on different devices. You can be nice about it. Post a bit in the OP about it. No need to get bitter when people are looking out for you. How am I supose to know that you removed stuff and that's why benches don't work? First rom in 2 and 1/2 years I been flashing that I heard of this. Post it in the OP so no other kind people get yelled at by your posse and are left with a bad taste in there mouth

Enjoy your tethering guys, 'cause Sprint is capping those in November, desptie of what plan you have:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/sprint-to-nix-unlimited-from-mobile-broadband-and-hotspot-plan/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Hate to break it to you but that is only for the $30 plan for hotspot. If you are rooted and use wifi-tether or the hotspot hack, it is not on the hotspot plan, it goes thought your phone plan and that still has unlimited date, "for now".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
I think phantom's response is simply the culmination of something a majority of users feel. Most of us are simply tired of the benchmarking questions/rants/topics/posts/etc. They are truly meaningless and it becomes extremely tedious to see these things posted over and over again.

In addition you get new users who come in here and then are given the wrong impression and not knowing any better actually put some stock into those meaningless and often flawed "tests" and think something is wrong with their phone or the ROM or the kernel or the universe.

Your phone either runs well or it doesn't. A benchmark cannot tell you if your phone feels fast or if it responds quickly to your requests or if it is operates solidly. Benchmarking apps are nothing more than pissing contests and I know that most devs really are tired of having to hear about them. I don't know a single quality dev that builds ROMs or Kernels based on achieving benchmarks. It is all about user experience for most and I for one like it that way.

Hotspot Hack vs. WiFi Tether

Do you or anyone else know if it matters to us or Sprint whether we use Hotspot Hack vs. WiFi Tether as far as how the data usage is tracked by Sprint?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] didache:
I got these. Just flash new ROM and uncheck old gmail settings in Titanium Backup prior to restoring. Some conflict between old and new, but remedied if you keep new gmail settings and simply reatorw everything else.

Epic Touch on SB 1.7 - Ty PH!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I'm just guessing here, but niether can be detected by sprint. If you had the hotspot plan and didn't use the hack or wifi tether they would be able to track you date, but with the hack and wifi tether, they only see your date usage for the phone, but that is unlimited right now.

For some odd reason, this won't work for me.

Previous StarBurst ROM's have worked (Although at times with issues to get it booted).

This one however I follow the instructions and when I go to reboot, it sits on the intial Samsung splash screen. I then have to go in using ODIN and flash CWM to get myself back in the phone and flash another ROM to get my phone working.

Is there something I'm missing?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I am at 1452 on stock kernel, going to see what battery life is like
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
For anyone that asks about LOS on this ROM, or any other ROM for that matter: It really doesn't matter if other people get it or not. All phones react differently to different ROMs and Kernels. Best anyone can do is try one out and hope it runs great. If not, on to the next one. Also, its been noted more times than we can count, the ROM or Kernel do not cause LOS (unless this has been proven otherwise which i don't think it has, sorry if i am wrong).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Have to disagree, but with being able to run stock + CWM and rooted why compromise? You can OC the stock kernel with Tegrak

For everyone who claims to get 17+ hours of battery life do you mostly use wifi or are you using just regular 3g

Sent from my mistress
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
I agree, I ran stock rooted with OC initially and did not have issues for most of the time. My point was LOS can really hit you with any ROM/Kernel combo so asking other people if they had LOS shouldn't really influence a decision to flash whatever ROM you want. I had my first LOS on 1.6 yesterday after running it since release and haven't had one today. Just my opinion!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I have had two LOS period since getting the phone a day before launch. Do I think Samsung has set us all up to fail? Yes, but to argue its random at this point seems silly. Have the dev's tried what they can to fix it? Yes sir
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaysmi32:
im coming from the evo 4g, sgs2 coming in a few days, so im new to u guys, im assuming LOS means lockscreen wake issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
Nope, its Loss of Service/Signal. You get a circle with a line through it in place of your signal bars and the only way to get signal back is through restarting the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaysmi32:
oh, is this a common problem with this phone, or depends on service in your area?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Yes it occurs to all folks regardless of rooted or stock, however the frequency and triggers are still wildly diverse
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
No one knows for sure. Some have it and some don't. Mine has never had Los. Some blame hardware and some blame root (even though it's well documented to occur on stock phones as well) some blame kernels for causing (and fixing) the issue, and some like me have never had the issue. I wouldn't let it scare you away, there's a kernel that relieves the issue and flashing back to the stock kernel after rooting and installing a custom recovery has had success for people as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
2 weeks with my phone and no Los, I've driven through 3 states and gone from roaming to no signal and back to service with no issues. Only problem I've had was when I used the Samsung task killer to kill everything and the phone force closed and I had to reboot to get service. I don't think its fair to say it affects everyone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Agreed, at this point we are no closer to understanding LOS then day one haha

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
it all depends... If I charge my phone to 100% at midnight and unplug it and kill everything and it sleeps til 9 am, I already have 9 hours on the battery and its still on 96%. Then I can easily go til midnight again before it needs to be charged with normal use. That's a full 24 hours on a single charge.

Any other way and I'll have to charge it in that am, which I dont have time for before work. Honestly, if you can get up in the morning, unplug your phone and go through your day and not need to charge it, everything else is irrelevant.

I am using 1.7 and LOS experimental kernel, tried wiping cache and dalvik, but still no wifi, I might have to try reflashing 1.7 and see if I have the same problem without the LOS kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
I wouldn't worry about LOS, little you can do about it and it's actually not a huge issue for most. My wife's desk is right next to mine at home. She has a completely stock launch day E4GT with extremely few changes/apps etc. and she gets LOS about once a day. I had an E4GT a few days later and I had LOS a few times a week. Returned that for a different issue and haven't had a single instance of LOS in two weeks with this phone. Rooted and modified like mad. LOS is hit or miss.

Coming from the EVO, you are going to love this phone. The EVO was my favorite phone and I was disappointed in the EVO3D, buit I absolutely love the E4GT.

That said, if this is your first Samsung take your time when rooting. Read as much as you can. IMHO there are way too many "Howto" threads on rooting the E4GT and way too many versions of root kernels still floating around. I advise you seek out some of the most recent options as those are almost certain to be based on E4GT rather than the SGSII.

Rooting this thing is a very easy process, but it is nothing like an HTC.

I haven't delt with a phone so fast and I figured even if this rom was robbing it of performance as the benchmarks misled me to believe that it might not have been that noticable as this phones overkill. Blah blah blah

On. Serious note though and yes I made sure to check every single sentance since 1.7 came out I'm.pretty sure. When I try to underclock to 800mhz with set cpu it stays at 800 on the slider but it will still go to 1000mhz right above that. I wiped set cpu's cache and data but it didn't help. any one having simalur issues? Alo in order to undervolt through SetCpu I need to flash the experimental kernel?

I really don't get into voltage/clock mods anymore. Haven't felt the need since I went to MIUI on my EVO, so I may not be the right person to ask about that. One thing I do know is that not all kernels work with those types of mods, but I'm not sure how which support it outside of asking the devs.
