Thanks for fielding that darren.wlsn1. Yes we're doing maintenance on the site and it will be back up shortly :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Muahahahaha! +10000
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
Can we uninstall the swype.apk that this comes with. I don't like the stock one at all and want the beta version which is much better. Also is there a custom bootup theme. I was just hoping for a stock rooted rom with custom bootup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
I have no problems with you uninstalling swype. I'm not sure how but if you open the rom with winzip or 7zip, navigate to /system/app/ the swype.apk is in there. Just delete and reflash (I don't work with swype often, so that's the method I'd use).

As for the custom boot animation, that was changed by the kernel. I'm not sure where or how to grab that yet, but I believe if you flash a closer to custom kernel it SHOULD change it back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jake:
unable to load the ACS link

edit :-) patiently waiting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
ACS forums are back up, download away guys :)

Also, letting you guys know I'm using bubby323's kernel making guide and making my own kernel for these roms (so it's closer to stock). I'm working on another project atm but eventually I'm going to be updating these again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
thanx for the update sir.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chandlerw88:
Samsung noob. If I have a rooted rom does my kernel have to be rooted and have cwm. For example does is this rom rooted with cwm? If so can I just use the stock kernel pulled from the stock phone and keep root and recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
The rom itself is rooted, yes, but the kernel is what carries the cwm. If you were to flash a stock kernel, you'd keep root but lose recovery.

I'm going to be "updating" these again soon to include a "closer to stock" kernel that ONLY has cwm (with no other tweaks) so I can provide a more "stock" experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
OK I am assuming this is the stock ROM, latest update in a zip file. Exactly what I was looking for. My next question....

My device I just purchased IS ROOTED but DOESNT HAVE CWM. Can I just download Rom Manager and install CWM from there? I tried rebooting into recovery and it is currently the stock recovery. If I can install CWM through Rom Manager I will do so and then flash this. Looking to refresh with a stock rom as I am getting signal issues...... and I do not want to use Odin.

And did Samsung really not put a widget for the Social Hub?

Someone.... anyone??? lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
Rom manager doesnt support our device so ur only hope is odin at the moment
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
I assume this is because our phones treat the built in memory as the /sdcard while the sd card is /external_sd which makes zero sense to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Updated and should solve everyone's problem with this.

Hope you guys like it :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gerald410:
The odex version is running great thx Zero!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dre2phresh:
Do I need to anything extra to be able to use init.d scripts with this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
You should be alright. Just do whatever you would do on a stock rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
Are people experiencing LOS with the new update? And this does include cwr right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ipetloudog:
Eff it. Closest thing to trigger on the E4GT. Im in. thanks man. Looking forward to that themed dialer.

Sent from my SPH-D710 Galaxy S II [suck it]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Not anymore than usual. My testers have reported that it hasn't gotten any worse, either.

Themed dialer? lol. I hope you enjoy it dude!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
I was also wondering if the issue with contact custom ringers has been fixed. I have astro file manager but it doesn't let me assign custom ringtones for some reason. The option isn't highlighted and i cant click on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
good rom stable i have been running this for 2days i think
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Sadly, no. Here's the problem.

In order for contacts.apk to assign a custom ringer, it needs the myfiles.apk. The myfiles.apk will not install on the deodex w/NoCIQ (in installs just fine on the regular deodex and odex versions). This may have something to do with the phone.apk and the contacts.apk is modified and you may have to install the deodex w/CIQ and then flash the noCIQ mod over top.

I don't know if the other roms out have that problem, but I plan on testing them all out and seeing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
So can we manually install the myfiles.apk? I have root explorer and am wondering if i can use that to install it. Does anyone have the file?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
It's in the rom.

Open with your favorite archive manager (winzip, 7zip, etc), open system, open app and it's in there as myfiles.apk

Drag and drop it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Njnear:
I see an orange overscroll glow has been added. Any chance we could have this go back to the stock bounce back?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Orange overscroll glow is part of the noCIQ and was not added by me. Want it gone, gotta ask k0nane ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dre2phresh:
This is my rom,of choice right now. Would love to see some speed and battery calibration tweaks added though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
Sorry, I assume you mean open it with winzip app on the phone. I am looking at it in that app with my phone but i don't get where or how to drag and drop it out. and will that allow me to add ringers to contacts? Sorry about the simple question.

If someone can just post that myfiles.apk that would be good. I assume I can just drag it to the /system/apps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
I installed this rom but it is running very unstable. It says google framework has stopped unexpectedly and gmail does the same thing. I wiped data and dalvik before flashing. Does anyone know what happened?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
The instructions said wipe data, dalvik and cache before installing. If you didn't do all three, my first suggestion would be to reflash and do all three.

None of my testers nor myself had this problem with any one of the three roms. the only problems we all had is outlined in the OP with possible work arounds and fixes.

The rom can't possibly be unstable, I didn't remove or add anything to the framework whatsoever (except the No-CIQ mod, which I did correctly). So if you're having issues, it's not the rom.

Seriously, it is ALREADY THERE. No one needs to put it online and you don't need to push it to your phone. I'm new at this, but I'm not an idiot. All the correct apks are in this rom. I do not know why it isn't flashing on here when it is on the other two roms. See for yourself. A few have gotten it to install, most haven't. Until then, you can use a file manager, go to the sound folder and just assign it manually by long pressing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I2izzo:
Kinda confused here... easy to find the myfiles.apk in the system/app folder but how would i flash that seeing as i cant get it to just install directly from that folder? or is it possible to do that im just dumb enough to not figure it out? thanks for the help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
I honestly have no idea. viperRom, Midnight rom and AEMod have the same problems. Starburst doesn't have it and I've PM'd him to ask him how (he hasn't responded yet) but his rom has it's own bugs atm that mine don't have.

I'm still actively trying to figure it out. If anyone beats me to it, feel free to PM me and take me to school with it lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Did you try putting it in the root of your SD card or pushing with ADB? If you can't do either maybe it's a signing issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
Just installed this stock rom. I am having one problem that I had on midnight as well. Superuser is denying permissions to setcpu at startup. It will allow if you click the widget but who remembers to do that. When midnight 2.1 was released it contained an updated version of superuser that fixed this problem. Can this be fixed here as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I2izzo:
Im gonna give adb push a try tonight... Have it but not too familiar how to use it as im an accountant lol have an idea? I could prolly mess with it and get it right
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
The commands are pretty simple and you can't really brick anything just pushing and pulling stuff. Just Google android adb commands
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
Can an updated superuser be added to this rom so that there are no permission issues with setcpu and other programs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
You should be able to update in the market. Alternatively, you can pick up the most recent superuser here

The link for it is in the last line of the *Instructions* list.

Sorry guys, but I'm not updating 3 roms just for 1 app. Especially when I'm working on more projects. Also, I haven't gotten any permission errors and I flashed my rom just last night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I2izzo:
You dont need to, this rom is still he best out there i appreciate all the hard work your doing and already did, astro does the job just was stunned on figuring it out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Certainly doesn't make sense to update three roms for one app, but it certainly should be included in any future updates?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
Thanks guys. I didn't realize that I needed to update the app but permissions are fine now. And of course I was just asking for it to be updated on any future updates that would be released not now lol. Is it possible to install a custom boot animation on this rom? Also, Is there a way to shut off the camera shutter sound?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Oh for sure, that's a given :) but I thought you were asking me to update them now with just an updated SU...and that's a little unreasonable :P My bad.

The next update for these won't be until we get an update from Samsung. These can't really get anymore "stock" than they are now :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
Any word if custom boot animations are able to be applied to this rom?

Also, when I backup my phone in cwm it tells me at the end "no /sdcard/xandroid_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage." I'm a little confused as to why it isn't backing up apps on my external sd card and if there is something I can do to fix this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
CWM supports ext partitions which as far as I know isn't supported or needed on our devices. That is where some devices increase storage space and store app data. It skips it because your SD card doesn't have an ext partition, just ignore it.

Sent with Galaxy S II EPIC Starburst Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
This is supposed to be "as close to stock as possible". Therefore, I will not be adding any more features, removing any bloat, etc etc as it takes away from the "as close to stock as possible" mission statement. If you want custom boot animations, you're going to have to flash a kernel that supports it which is no big deal and, frankly, it'll take less time that if I update the rom and you have to set it up again.

Sorry, hope I helped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
ACS is down can someone post a mirror? Stock Deodexed with nociq? Please!?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
Since this has a kernel built in....

Can we flash this over the top of it?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1305099

or can we pull the kernel out of the zip for just a /system flash? swap the kernels in the zip with the one in the link above?

This might be a dumb question, but I dont know if the the way one would modify zips has changed since my old EVO where you could do whatever you wanted to this zips....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Yes, you can flash kernels over this rom as you choose to just like normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I hit Thanks accidentally.

I just wanted to say that I just Rooted earlier tonight.

Before that, I experienced LOS a few times, and a Power Cycle was the only fix.

Since installing Root today, stock with Root, Busy Box and SU, no LOS, but that may just be a short duration issue.

I've read other threads where some are blaming Root for LOS.

But that is just a deflection, and some are taking that falsehood as the gospel.

No Root = LOS......

Does Root and/or other than Stock kernels exacerbate the issue? I don't know if that's possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Don't bother dude. People would rather believe superstitious nonsense than the truth. Despite Samsung/Spring opening admitting this is a problem on stock and despite the fact they're working on a solution, people will ignore it and say what they think. We know that it's a problem with the phone and we know there's a fix in the works from Sammy...don't bother with the non-believers. They'll all feel like morons when the fix is released en mass.

ACS Forums is back up, by the way. Just fyi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Haha, those who think it has nothing to do with modified kernels are the ones who won't listen. But I'm sure it's the same experts who cracked the case wide open on SBC
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/76962

If you'll notice in blue print in the first post, Sprint/Samsung blatantly say this is an official issue that they're working on fixing. If it were modified kernels, then it wouldn't be an official issue that Sprint/Samsung would be fixing, it would be an unofficial issues the kernel developers would be fixing. Since Sprint/Samsung are on the case, this means that it's a problem that happens to unrooted and rooted phones alike, meaning that "modified kernels" have nothing to do with it.

Whatever browser you're using, there's a Google search function. You should really start using it.

This is a rom thread. You should really take your faulty assumptions to the general section and let the people running my roms to post here so I can answer their questions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
hey bro im sure im right and ive downloaded it already and used it but just want to make sure and hear it from you the download that says stock with ciq is the version that is completly stock meaning ciq has not been removed correct? like i said just wanting to make sure cause im about to redo my mod using the jars from this stock rom!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
That is correct. Stock w/CIQ means the mod for noCIQ hasn't been baked in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
awesome thank you!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
haha, its so important to sprint/samsung that the US version of the most popular Android phone to date is having signal issues that here it is a month later and still nothing... not even a real peep from Sprint/Samsung over anything. The only real community that is affected is the aftermarket/root. Fact is, LOS is nearly non-existent on stock, heck HTC's security backdoor issue has come up and already seen a patch being deployed and still nothing about an expectation or even publication about an imminent fix. Even for informed users like yourself you have to wonder what is the hold up for announcing a fix to this "widespread" issue. My point is this, don't try and play off LOS as some wide spread issue that the tech community is up in arms about IE iphone 4, its a blip on the radar to those self inflicted users.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Seriously, go talk about it somewhere else. This is a rom thread, not an LOS thread. It's an official issue, it happens to people unrooted, therefore it's a problem that everyone could potentially have. Use logic and quit trolling my rom thread please. I need this space to help anyone having trouble with my wares.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
i'm sorry you think an opposing view is considered trolling. I apologize for attempting to have an open discussion about FUD that is being passed along, apparently that has no place in this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
What kernel are you using? Same question to Absolut because if I go from a kernel with CWM back to pulled stock it makes my 4g not connect so I am forced to choose between stock wCWM5 and strongsteve's great odex theme or my Ninjamorph version with pulled stock kernel....pissing me off. Tested 10 times. Happens every time kernel w/ CWM to pulled stock equals Borked 4g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I have been using the first posted stock packed with cwm 5,haven't had any issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
This isn't a discussion thread in the discussion forum. This is a rom thread in the development forum. This is not the place to be having discussions about LOS. Go to the general section (you know, where discussions take place) and have a discussion there.

Troll (slang) = someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]

This thread is about the rom, not LOS. Therefore, you're trolling. Stop it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
I'm using chris41g's lostkernel (with the deodex w/o the noCIQ mod). I've flashed back to pure stock twice to help test root methods but I've never had a problem with the 4g before so this is very alarming.

JohnCorleone, who's pulled stock are you using? I think there's a couple floating around here.

Also, something to try, maybe flashing a different kernel (like chris41g's lost) and then flashing pulled stock from there.

If more people start having this issue, i might take these down and use a different pulled stock w/cwm5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
same case with me

It happened to me too I went stock and then flashed CWM and 4G was fine. Flashed pulled Kernel and 4G broke. Now I am trying to go back but don't recall which CWM I flashed, I will try the ones available and see if helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
I use bubby's stock pulled w/cwm5 (the latest version he posted). It has occurred to me that since bubby doesn't really dev for us anymore that i'll switch over to chris41g's stock pull (or a similar stock pull) with cwm 5.

I might do it anyway to fix this problem. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. If you go from this rom's kernel to lostkernel, then this problem doesn't happen (my 4g works just fine and that's what i'm running). So if you guys can't come up with a workaround or fix, you might just wanna stay on this one or use lostkernel for the time being.

I'm in the middle of a death in the family, so I haven't had time to do any work on anything. Sorry about that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Incorrectly blaming los when users are obviously reporting issues is the point. Which is obviously on topic. The last thing that needs to be done is falsely accuse outside factors of this rom the culprit. LOS on stock is obviously flawed and needs to be accounted for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Hey.. I repackaged mine with a pulled stock kernel: )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Nice! Surprised to see reports of 4G issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
Is Samsung every going to release an update for this LOS issue? It's getting pretty ridiculous and i can't stand the battery drains after reboots. I lost almost 30% yesterday rebooting after an LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
The problem is that source doesn't reflect the stock rom that shipped with the phone. There are reports of internal roms being worked at sprint, I would assume los or source will be updated accordingly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
can someone post a mirror to stock rom. i guess acs site is down again !!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:

hello guys,

im searching for a new phone..but i cannot decide which one..

first of all i've used so much phones (pre, g1, legend, desire, o2x,iphone, iphone 3g, omnia 7, ...) but i didnt get satisfied with anyone of them..

currently i got a pre3 and motorola milestone (droid) well the milestone is so damn slow (using cm7.1)..

well webos is dead... i really liked it.

i need something amazingly fast without lagging...haha

what should i take??

i thought this atrix sounds nice but i think its the same **** as the o2x..

Can you Nexies recommend me your favorite, the best performing browser for Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
I think most people would recommend opera or dolphin hd, firefox nightlies are a bit hit and miss
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiagodark:
there is only two browsers, Opera and Stock... the others is just the stock with some things changed, but they render pages just like stock, lag in the same pages, freeze to load extacly same things and has almost same bugs...

Opera, in other hand, seems to be hardware accelerated, it is completely different, and for me, it is really better... loads every pages faster and so smooth as it should be in stock one... but, it has two bad things: 1) it is really annoying to see "Opera Mobile" every single time you open it and 2) doesn't render Google's pages like it should, like gmail or search page. In stock browser it is shown like a web app, but in Opera you see generic mobile pages...

personally, i use both, Opera for default and stock for those things that Opera can't handle well! =oP
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roscopcoletrain:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:
Of course Opera...:)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwielunski:
I agree. For more examples, anandtech.com is horribly slow in stock, but ESPN's baseball recap pages do not display correctly in Opera. I'm trying out the latest Firefox, which seems like a compromise: not as fast as Opera, but more accurate rendering.

Honestly, when HTC and Samsung branded phones have stock browsers with superior scrolling and pinch-to-zoom, I don't quite understand what's supposed to be so great about the "pure Google" experience. This phone has been out for almost a year and its browser is still terrible. So we get updates direct from Google, but if none of them improve the browser, who cares? It would be great if this improves with ICS, but I still haven't seen any official word on that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiagodark:
that is a thing i REALLY miss in my old HTC devices, browser experience is far far far better. I like Android and all, but ICS is the last chance for Google to me, there is always a tiny thing is not great as it should, in all android handsets i owned! Nexus is amazing, but this browser sucks, i can't understand why google made it that way, just can't. They are mostly a internet company, for god sake, and Chrome is great for Desktop....

For me, Nokia + WP7 or ICS will be a 'watershed'... =o\
