crt on animation question.

The crt off animation works, but crt on doesn't. It say that crt on and off animation is part of Android 2.3 under display settings. Not sure. I'm quite happy with one of them working. I could find a way to make crt on animation work but I don't feel like ruining my perfect setup. ^^

General question... I'm trying to backup my system through CWM, I was wondering how big SD have to be? Guessing depending on how much apps you have including system data? Thanks in advance for replies. ^^ great community.

What's the lowest voltage are to guys using?

Viper: in your evo vipermod, you had the option to adjust all frequency voltage by -25, -50 etc etc..

For this version, I don't see a drop all voltage option??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rde34:
My guess is that ads were blocked for faster page loading. To unblock you can download latest adfree (from market) and click the "revert" button on the upper right. Re-open browser to make sure ads and flash content is loading again. If it still doesn't seem to be working, completely close out browser in task manager then re-open browser and it should be fixed. You can uninstall adfree after. It doesn't have to stay on your phone.

I agree with u the reporting is very strange but my phone lasted until the next day and finally died at around 6pm. I did have minimal usage on 10/22 but still thats function not just reporting numbers so very impressive in my book.

Known issue, I will fix it next build.

the way voltage is handled on the custom Samsung kernels makes it a little more challenging to adjust everything by a set amount but its something I will get done.

I can undervolt by -25mv but -50mv its not as stable.

Hey Viper just a thought.Instead of having to run that script that is out to remove the bloat do you think you can remove some of these apps like they did on the other Rom?Not to b a copy cat but i have them frozen in TB and it would be nice just to not have to bother with them each time we flash.Plus it has be proven they do nothing and nothing there anyone wants or cares about.

I just had an issue where my phone wasn't receiving calls or text with no indication that I didn't have service. I tried to make a call out and the phone just sat there - when trying to hang up the call the phone froze completely. I've had this issue on viperROM (i've tried multiple installs with full clears) and Starburst (also with multiple installs and full clears) but never on stock (running LoStKernel) - not sure if it's the ROMs or the kernel. I also posted this in the LoStKernel thread. Anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
This happens to me too. I think that's when you catch the phone a little bit before it goes total LoS. There isn't anything I can do about it though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Nah it is the same LOS just without the circle.I had this type for weeks before i just now started the circle one again.

They are both LOS 1 is just Ghosted and the other shows the circle but both are LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
I think they call it POOS or something. persistent out of signal or something like that haha

BTW I was wondering if its too much to ask for maddoggin's 11 lockscreen mod to be added into the rom? I tried flashing it individually but got a bootloop :(

Ugh, I just battled with this for hours doing the GF's Captivate. It ended up being a driver issue. Make sure you have the drivers for this phone. Uninstall Kies and any current Samsung drivers, then reboot. Install the right drivers, reboot. Then try and use Odin, should work for you :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
The wifi scans to find new networks with better range. The problem is that it rescans too frequently. This is a known issue and the reason why you need to have it sleep when the screen is off. Otherwise it will kill your battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
I get 12-24 hrs on the stock battery with WiFi supposedly scanning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
I think it only scans when you have that menu opened. It doesn't 'seem' to keep scanning once you're out of it. The way to tell is to see the drop in battery life while Available Networks is opened, and why it is on the homescreen (for example).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
I notice a lot of people have that same battery life. I really hope it's a software bug for me. I don't want to take my phone back if i don't have to. I only get about 6-10 hours on my phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Just make sure you have it set to sleep with screen off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Calibrate your battery if you haven't, it makes a big difference.

I have mine set to Never because if you have it turn off with the phone sleeping, it will switch over to 3G for data and that uses more power than WiFi.

By the way, 2 annoying things I'm noticing and I don't think it's this ROM, I think it's a Samsung thing: Sometimes I can't pull down the status bar and when I send pictures from GMail and select the gallery to send them, it will send the wrong picture. Example, I tapped on 5 pics individually to send via GMail to my girl from when we went to the club the other night and she got 2 pics of the cat that I didn't tap on and that happened again just now when I send her 2 pictures of something else. Can anyone confirm if this is happening to them as well?

after a full night of charging i boot into recovery, wipe my batt stats...then i use my phone until its completely drained then fully recharge while off. ive seen a few people with my problem. i figure its a bug in the latest android version or the radio...at least im hoping its a bug. im just going to wait until one of those gets updated and see if my battery is still the same before i take it back to sprint and swap one out

Try doing this instead. Full charge, wipe batt stats using Battery Monitor Widget or BatteryCalibration, unplug, let it die, plug it in and boot it up, charge to 100%. That way seems to work best for me.

I am doing some school work right now and I hope to work on the ROM a little bit tonight and try out a test build on my phone. It sucks that I never get to experience fantastic battery life cause my phone is always on and off the charger so it messes up my calibration. Which, on that note, I'm @ 54% with 12hrs off the charger. I'm happy with that, especially with the battery not being calibrated yet.

Love the ROM, Viperboy. I've been using your creations for quite a while and on other devices.

Just wanted to post that I've been having several LOS events today. I flashed on Sunday, went to the Cowboys/Rams game and it locked up a few times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Thanks man! Just remember, the LoS isn't the ROM. It happens stock so there isn't much I can do about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
Download Root Tool Box Pro and once inside find "fix permissions". I highly recommend making a backup with CWM before you run this. Actually, if you have CWM, you can just boot into recovery and there is also a "fix permissions" option. Again, I recommend a full backup and then do it. It will usually take care of FC's.

Regards,

rast4man

I think we all suffer from LoS since it's an issue with the phone/service rather than any ROM. I use the LoStKernelEXP+ Kernel and I get LoS maybe a few times a week. Have you flashed that Kernel by chance to try it out? If not, I'd recommend it and see how it works for you. Before I flashed it, I was dealing with major LoS on difference ROM's I was trying out. I won't mention the ROM's out of respect for the dev of the particular ROM's. As always, do a backup before flashing a new Kernel.

Regards,

rast4man

lulz! ;)

Have your tried "Ripple Lock" or "Agile Lock" from the market? Both are free and I personally use Ripple Lock and luvz it!

Change your WiFi scan interval from *I think* 1 minute to 3-4 minutes. That helped me. Download Jrummy's Root Tools from the Market and I think it's in the Tweaks section. The Root Tools is also awesome for flashing fonts, boot animations and many other tweaks. It even has a build.prop editor. I've been using it for quite awhile and it's one of the first things I download when I flash a new ROM since I don't use Titanium Backup anymore. (bad experience with it that nearly bricked my phone grrrr)

Voice I / O and Font!

Hi Viper,

Not issues but need some information if you can provide.

1). What are the fonts you are using ? I liked them but I keep playing with different ones and can not get them back without reflashing the ROM. Is it possible to have them in zip or if you give me name I can try find it.

2). The Voice Input Output seems to be different then the stock one. In stock I used to set the language to English ( India ) as it will not recognize my heavy indian accent otherwise....:---)

3).After installing IRIS when I try to run it , it says "No Input Data Available", is there a work around for it?

Thanks in advance.

You guys make things hard on yourself... Fix permissions is included in viperControl script ;) And LoStKernelExp 1.0.0.4 is included in this ROM. I use widgetlocker personally and I love it, but I'm trying out GO Locker since it just came out and it's really nice so far. I highly recommend giving it a go and downloading the "Four Key" theme!

This should fix it, thanks jdefran. I have also included voice search in /sdcard/viperROM/apps as well. Again, there are issues when installing certain apps in the ROM for whatever reason. I'm still trying to figure that out.

And delayed the next release by 2 days. Each time I'm asked.

From here on out :)
