I know...can you direct me toward some TW4 mimics/themes then...? I'm not liking cm7 right now honestly. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, I just really wanted to be able to use tw4 widgets. I was hoping there was a theme too but none that I can find =\
[Epic 4G Android Development] str8addicted:
ok thanx.... thought it was in the rom... i'll try that now
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
There's Widgets in the market that look and act the same
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Where? I have looked so much...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
For themes download Theme Chooser Themes and it has all the themes on the market as well as XDA listed.

Widgets I honestly have no idea. Go weather has a nice squarish weather widget that's 4 x 1.

How exactly will we achieve Mtd/yaffs2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skyjedi:
Hard work and uber coding. AND FRICKEN PATIENCE!
[Epic 4G Android Development] tdwp16:
I watched the video. I'm just not understanding how we cwm and get it when you need to use; Odin to; partition
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Ok, for MTD there are documented ways to convert us to that partition type. As it is OpenSource.

BML is a proprietary means for let's just say Samsung, even though it's likely to be more vast, so it's undocumented so our only way to go is to use the Victory.pit for our phone through Odin to have it reset the stock partition grouping and type.

The tools to be able to do it otherwise are not given, and it becomes even more dangerous trying to make it in "the dark" and hope you're actually back on BML. Odin or Heimdall isn't the best option for most people but in the end it's your choice if you choose to indulge in MTD rather than staying on BML.

Thanks apro

I have been trying to update my profile through Sprint. On CM7, you can't go to "About Phone" to do this. How do I achieve this???????? 3g was working fine since i first flashed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
I believe you have to flash another rom to update your profile.

/sig
[Epic 4G Android Development] playcs:
any suggested rom i can flash to?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Well, any rom will do I guess. I'm on Legendary.

/sig
[Epic 4G Android Development] playcs:
thanks, will try that one. Has anyone switched to the new EI22 modem? or is the E17 still the recommended one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Not a problem man, I'll help when I can. :)

Also thanks Zander :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
I ran 11/24 on the EI22 modem without any issues. Roms are modem independent, so you can run whichever modem you seem to get the best signal with in your area..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Looneyrat:
Got any benchmarks to show proof of how much faster mtd runs compared to rfs and ext? Id like to are please. Thank you. Goose step away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Looneyrat:
Thxs! I'm flattered. I didn't know how much you admire me. That's says a lot. I try to help as much as possible. Alot out ppl here just read and troll. Unlike some of us, we help. Thanks again, it means a lot to me!

is there any way I can get my wifi to work? I get force closes everytime I turn it on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Everything is working for me besides what's already mentioned.

So try rebooting to recovery and wiping cache and dalvik 3x
[Epic 4G Android Development] vista178:
I had to apply the update from the CWM main screen before I could get my WiFi working. The "Apply sdcard:update.zip" option from CWM. Of course, you have to either grab the missing files from the 11/14 release or flash the zip provided by post #300.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
I'm on random rom thunderhawk 3.2 right now and wanna try this rom for the firstt timee lol

If I made a nandroid back up and restored data after I installed the rom do u think id have any problems even tho there completely different roms..?
[Epic 4G Android Development] justlovejoy:
Nandroid backups are what flash happy epiceans use to go flash nuts! Might have a few issues cause your apps would not be 2.3.7 ready, haven't tried myself but if anything, you'll still be able to flash back to 3.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
Nandroid restore should be fairly easy way to get back to Random Rom, without any issues. Looks like someone answered right as I was posting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gremlyn1:
I was forced to COMPLETELY redo my whole phone after originally attempting to load EC05 modem and then move on to EI22. I accidentally checked repartion when loading the modem :( All is back up and running now, and I'm running the EI22 modem, AND WiFi now seems to work just fine...

Anyone have problems with WiFi might get by with a complete phone wipe and not restoring any wifi settings after getting it back up and running.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Alkah0liK:
Yes possibly, likely certain apps where data would just seem "missing" and any data restored over the guts of this rom would cause instability? Best bet is probably titanium backup and restore apps individually.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Alkah0liK:
Is big brother listening, or is the hardware acceleration causing the reverb / loud pitch feedback in my built in speaker occasionally when covered?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Annihil8or:
If my wifi turns on, it just says scanning, won't connect to my network after entering the pw. Then it will turn off or force close. It doesn't really make sense the way it has worked. I did apply the wifi fix near post #300. Not sure what step I am missing. Do I need to full wipe & titanium?

Other then the non-existent wifi this thing is great. Breath of fresh air into an aging phone. I can't wait for the things to come. Thanks to the efforts of the devs and the others providing support.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gremlyn1:
Same thing happened to me until I did the complete phone reset... Maybe something from the previous CM7 install carries over and causes the issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
If you used the file from my post, it's not a patch but a full install so wiping would be recommended.

Over 400 downloads so far wow.

I also made another package based off the 1206 mtd builds so far good with that one too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Why must people download things not meant for them...

/sig
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
Why not? I am an adult and know the risk involved, not like I am posting a link for the general public to play with, but that shouldn't even bother you really. Thank you for adding to the thread tho.

Edit: also I know support is not given for anything not posted officially. I hardly ask for help anyways.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
The point is that it's being patched, if you can't respect a developers test work what's the point of partaking in this community. The lack of patience is disheartening.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
I don't understand how me trying out the files is a disrespectful gesture to decadence... it's trying a file posted in a public directory, not asking for eta's, support, or anything of the sort that is actually considered impatience. What's disheartening is how you guys are acting for someone trying to learn a little about this project.

Edit: and this isn't the place for us to be discussing this, if you guys have issue with a post of mine try reporting it if it's against any rules, if it's not and it's just a personal problem with my post, feel free to discuss it in PM with me rather than add more clutter like we are doing currently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
I completely agree with you, darkjje. I seriously doubt your posts are even remotely an issue, it's not like you offered a link to the build you obtained.

To Zanderman112 & AproSamurai

, if the devs don't want those builds leaking to the public (how ironic!) they should not put them in publicly accessible locations, it's as simple as that. If they want to have a dev-only repository then they should have a password-protected location to store such builds and resources. It's not hard, and they're smart guys.

I will probably not mess with any MTD builds until the devs provide a build, but that's because I'm not that confident and I don't understand MTD/YAFFS2 as well as I should before diving into it. I'll wait 'til the devs feel comfortable releasing a build, because I trust that to mean they're confident it won't be a brick-factory! ;) If other people wanna mess with unsupported builds that are publicly accessible and they don't expect any hand-holding, well, isn't that the spirit of XDA?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
But I believe I read in the Mobile Odin OP that it has the capability, he just left it out of the interface (for safety reasons I would imagine, but I don't think he said why).

I definitely think this is something that would be advantageous if possible, but the devs might want to talk to Chainfire (correct dev?) about a custom build of it or using code from it, etc.

Disclaimer: Devs, I am not trying to tell you guys what to do, please don't take it that way! I appreciate everything y'all have achieved so far, and I look forward to future accomplishments. Just throwing that idea out there, it seems like it would streamline the installation/ROM swapping.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
I never stated that I even cared about who downloaded the files?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
who asked you anyways :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
I rest my case.
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
Is this a statement or rhetorical question? The question mark implies that you did say this at some point. Either way, looking forward to the next release, much dev love for ya. And if you don't mind my asking, what are your future plans, have any other phones you've considered switching to?
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
So I can apply the ei22 update.zip to my phone without being on stock ec05? Then immediately after that I flash the rom file?

I'm rooted btw running starskyrom1.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
Even easier, just nandroid backup starskyrom1.5, wipe, then flash using clockworkmod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
When I tried that method before my wifi wouldnt work. This is a sweet rom but I cant live without my wifi
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
I've wiped and installed the one with the WPA fix on 2 different phones, wifi and 3g both work fine. I also flashed the ec05 to ei22 modem zip on both. If that doesn't work, not sure what the issue is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
Why is MTD/EXT4 not possible?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Build is up.

If it bricks your phone.

Well, haha.

Sucks.

:P

Wifi is still screwy.

And if you want to revert from this build, you'll have to odin.

Anyways, I'm gonna go figure out why my wifi revert epicly failed. BBL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
Downloading now!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MoSeriouS:
Oh hex yeah!!!!! New build, Friday night......gettin my MTD on.....yeah i gotta life...Big up's to you D, and all ur boys thx!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Don't panic if your phone reboots mid-install of the update.zip. This is necessary for mtd conversion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Omgosh, I would flip out lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
Assert failed in cwm. Status 7. Any thoughts?

Edit: I wiped data, cache and dalvik
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
What recovery version/What rom were you running previously?

Also, do

getprop

in adb shell and paste the output.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Please use pastebin next time. And the reason the assert fails is because whatever build you're running has product.device as crespo(which is nexus s).
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
Sorry about that. New to actually having to provide info. So if I flash the last cm7 and boot, then reboot into recovery and flash the mtd build, I should be all set? Or can I just edit the build.prop? If so what do I change it to?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Either way works:

You can change it to:

epicmtd

epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
Congratz folks. We were able to get mtd up and running on the epic 4g as well as two stage init.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
You can just flash this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
Woops delete this reply
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Great job guys. Recovery is weird and reboot to recovery doesn't work. Other than that, it is all good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Something I was aware of but wasn't sharing, lol. For people wondering a reason to move to MTD, please direct your attention to the bottom of my screenshot. :)

Yeah, the UI option is broken. And to get to recovery it requires a bootloop of sorts at the moment, don't let it bother you. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Time to update your amazing kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Yup yup. Tellin' it like it is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Yep, that requires I go through that process I was discussing with you yesterday, so be it. :)

Also to people who are curious as of now, both CM as well as MIUI will be on stock kernels. They'll have governors but OC. Regular kernels meant for BML will not work on MTD so you're going to have to wait and see if any developers make the jump to MTD based kernels. Or if they're willing to go through the complex process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Ok. /cache/ needs to be bigger so I can install my big apps...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache. And all should be fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I did. Still can't install great little war game. A cache clearer app helps with some but not all...
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
Thanks deca I am up and running!
[Epic 4G Android Development] amirite:
This can be flashed directly over the last build, yes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fatonuseni:
Kind of saw that coming.

So itching to try this. Was hoping wifi was fixed. I guess that fix needs some additional baking in the oven.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Please wipe before installing this build, even if coming from an older build. Mostly just to clear relic settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
Isnt that only because space was taken away from the cache partition and not really due to the mtd change? The new cache size is showing up as 25600 blocks rather than the old 171192 and a little bit is taken off the system partition size, leaving a lot to be given to the data as your screen shot shows.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Yes, because it's proof of concept that we've(our developers) control over the partition sizes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
Well crap, the impression I was given from the earlier post I thought it was just a more space efficient file system. I don't really have an issue with the old partition set up so I'll likely hold off on the MTD switch for a while. I should of asked before flashing I suppose cus now I have to do a little work to revert back to rfs version of this build. Thanks for clearing that up for me, good sir!

And thank you decadence and nube and noob and everyone else! we are not worthy of all the greatness you give us :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] duce102:
This is running smoother than ever. :D I've got this ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sonny.theme.ics ) theme running on top and I couldn't be happier. Well maybe if I could find a SGSII lockscreen for cm7 =/

Thank you so much Decad3nce, noobnl, DRockstar, Rodderick, jt1134, Uberpinguin, nubecoder, mkasick, nullghost, dameon78, wispofattes, and everyone else who helped in any way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSMI:
Do you have to wipe data since this will reformat/re-partition/ect? if so could we restore apps from titanium back or do we need to start from scratch?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
You can restore your apps from Titanium but you need to completely wipe for the best results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
I got fixes for the cache problem in the pipelines, also for init.d and other bugs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Speaking of init.d, with Epic CM7 I haven't been able to get any fixes for the SD card cache to stick, whether they were patches/flashable .zips, the SD Speed app, or manual editing of the init.d

As many of you know, the default cache size for our SD cards is 128k, while an optimal cache size is more like 1024k-3072k depending on the phone/ROM/kernel and SD card. A few different fixes were found and worked well with other ROMs I used, specifically SFR 1.1 and 1.2, but none seem to stick with CM7.

Can anyone shed light on this? A) am I being retarded, B) has this simply been overlooked, C) is it simply a low priority fix and will happen in due time? Thanks!

Also, thanks for the new build, Deca and crew. I look forward to installing it soon!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Build is up. I stayed up too long.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wwjoshdew:
For a good cause though! This is awesome and very exciting!

As someone that used your Radioactive FroYo rom (over at sdx), I'm very excited to learn that you are doing all of this. Every time I tried a new rom on my moment, I always went back to your rom! It's VERY exciting to know you're still a developer and continuing your awesome work!

[Epic 4G Android Development] altimuh:
I finally took the "scary" plunge yesterday. I don't know why I didn't try this earlier!!! I was on Legendary RC2.1 and my phone just wasn't liking it.

After figuring out some of the nuances of CM (how to enable swyping brightness, fixing the 160+ sms texting deal, and something else - can't remember) I love this!!!!

My only question, and I know that some developers do this by choice, is: is there a way for us to remap the smiley and @ keys, and also put the mapping in for the fn ".com" ? (These are very minor issues, but I use both smiley's and the ".com" daily and if there was something I could edit, I'd really appreciate it!!)

Edit: Would this work MOD Keyboard Tweaks? There's a section for enabling/disabling the @/:) swap. If so, now I just have to figure out how to get the ".com" back.

Thanks again for a wicked cool rebirth of my Epic!!!!! :D

Anyways, not sure if Deca has added init.d as of now, but until he wakes up, init.local.rc is supported.

You'd have to create the file and put in the bits you want it to handle (e.g. sdcard read ahead).
