Anybody having issues with some apps not updating such as bank of america or etrade? When I go to update I get "Your device is not compatible with this item" I've tried to wipe market cache, fix permissions etc. I am having no other issues with v2 whatsoever

Viper...love the rom, goes perfect with my SRT-10 vert :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahl395:
Lol, sorry guys. I apologize. Looking forward to v3 and forgot. :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xPSYB0RGx:
Ok, Im fully convinced that its not something im doing wrong with tryin to flash this baby. Either....there is a small SIMPLE step missing or something is borked in one of these apps somewhere (cwm??)

I've tried all three cwm's. 4.0.1.5, 5.0.2.3, and 5.0.2.6, none of them will flash any rom for me. I think the problem is when i try to wipe dalvik, I get some error saying cant find, or volume error, cant remember.

Another key thing I noticed is, after I go into mounts & storage, and FORMAT SYSTEM, and then when I go to install zip from sd card....... it is mistaking my sd card for my internal sd card, and the only way I can TRY to flash the rom is if I go to INTERNAL SD CARD (which is actually my EXTERNAL SD CARD, cwm has it confused)

Dont know if this is important or a sign or something, but in your screen shots, as the rom is being flashed, your characters are green, mines stays white.

No matter what combination I try, nothing works.

1) Start off with stock deodexed or odexed rom with root.

2) Flash clockworkmod

3) Go to mounts & storage. Format system. (I've even tried formatting emmc & cache as well to see if that would help.

4) Wipe data.

5) Wipe cache

6) Wipe dalvik

7) Flash rom

8) Everything looks like its working, no errors (sometimes)

Then

phone hangs at galaxy s2 screen for 10 mins.

Repeat Steps 1-8 with different variations, stock roms, cwm's, custom roms.

Only thing I have not done that i can think of that MAY help is format my sd card, which i dont want to cause its 16gb. Maybe i should find an old 2gb sd card laying around just to test that.

So, since I and a very small few others cant flash this, can u make a tar that we can just simply odin? and if thats too much work, can u just make a small flashable kernel for us then?

BTW: After flashing a stock rom, i have flashed lostkernel on top of that, then tried to flash your rom over that since that is exactly what you have done and have not had any probs, but that doesnt work either!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
I would try another sd card and see what happens.

haha cool beans bruh...just dont do it again :mad: :evil laugh:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
This is something with the new Market. Naples to me too, thought it was my DPI setting cause thia happens too with a reduced DPI and I need to change to default to update some apps.

You have an SRT-10 Viper?? Any mods?! Pics please!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xPSYB0RGx:
Havent tried another sd card as of yet.

When I clear dalvik, im getting this:

E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

how do i fix this on my sd card? this may be the prob

And of course i had changed my resolution! Changed it to stock and updated. All is well now! Thanks viper! I should have searched harder on the thread and probably could have found my answer.

Yep I couldnt pass up the chance to own one. No major mods except lowering springs tuning and a couple minor things. Im afraid to start modding won't stop!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Try flashing just a kernel (zedomax kernel or LoStLernel) via Odin and see if that works.

No problem, I need to add some stuff to the 1st and 2nd post. And what a beauty! Wish you were close to PA so I could try to bum a ride in it :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xPSYB0RGx:
Try flashing just a kernel (zedomax kernel or LoStLernel) via Odin and see if that works.

I've already tried that. It doesnt work Viper.

Only rom I was able to flash is the epictouchaospmod. But I wanna flash yours tho cause Im having issues after every phone call, it says android.phone forceclose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Id try and factory reset that thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoeleven99:
the keyboard and buttons below the screen get borked when i try to text while the phone is on the charger. I hit a letter and the touch registers on another part of the screen (like the delete key or another key) and when i try to back out via the back button the phone doesnt respond. This happened last night twice. Dont know if its an isolated incident will let you know later tonight when its charging. Awesome batt life on this rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
This is a known issue when using the wall charger. It is the phone, not the ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoeleven99:
thanks for the info

I'm gonna try to get an update out tonight for you guys once I'm done unwinding from school :)

Where is the Stock Samsung task manager?

Or am i missing something (quite possible) :confused:

I don't think it's my place to request what's in or out of your Rom,

but if you could make an app so i could install it that would be nice,

or if it's there could someone point me to it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Lol you know I don't even know how many thanks

I have cause i like the old xda layout and what's what I use lol

Wtf are you talking about? Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
Hahaha hes talking about the Task manager look in the title. But to answer the question the task manager is in the removed apps folder it is titled Job Manager. You have to push it in to system/apps or move it there with root explorer. Im not sure if it will let you install it from the folder (it wouldnt for me anyway)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
he's asking for the stock samsung app manager (i guess title of his post)

lol ehusidic beat me to it with a much better answer 1076 thanks though :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Use viperControl to move it back. It puts it in /system/app and sets the right perms for you. I couldn't see the title on the xda app, sorry!

And I have that many thanks??? Awesome :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
Yeah..you have my 73 beat by a long shot. Lol. Take your time on the update...looking forward to it though

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exconvictriddick:
Hey Viper...

Was wondering are you planning to get rid of all Samsung and Sprint bloatware except sprint hotspots and van. Google's own map don't work quite as well as sprint. Are you planning to put a multi option when holding power (reboot, shutdown, recovery?) That would be nice to have. And a density changer?

I would also recommend putting titanium backup since I already have the key. It is the best backup app for apps. ^^

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
What's up viper....are we getting an update tonight? I"m still hopeful since it's only 12:44 AM here in Florida. Bring it on, my Epic is hungry and I'm bored. :P

Regards,

rast4man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Your sig shows you are running viperROM... do you not notice that pretty much all the bloatware is removed? Google Maps has always worked better than Sprint's garbage for me also. Yes, I plan to add the power options. I don't plan to add a density app because not everyone wants to have change that.

And again TB is already in the ROM...

Working on it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Truballa11:
Quick question. That new AIO mod won't work on the phone because of your mods right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
Works perfect with viper rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
What is a density mod? Link to it?

Also, paid gingerbread keyboard force closes a lot, not just this rom, but every custom rom I tried. Even tried fixing permissions. Works well on stock deodexed rooted. Any idea what it could relate with? Just did a fresh install of v2 and wow, its better than before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
You said u are working on power option is it possible to add to reboot on download mode , recovery and all that?

New Battery calibration script!

Hi Viperboy,

So with "New Battery calibration script - (when @ 100%, calibrate battery automatically) (thanks sep)", we do not need to go through the whole battery calibration process anymore?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Updated to v.2.1 - please see OP for changelog!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
In theory, yes. I'm going to see how well this works, but I anticipate it working well. This was implemented into another E4GT ROM but when I took a look at how they did it, it was done improperly and their script won't actually work. I have modified the script to work properly on the E4GT and here is how it works:

Some people don't get the great battery life they should after they do the calibration. When you do a battery calibration, it removes /data/system/batterystats.bin. When the phone dies and you plug it back in, it regenerates that file and sets a "flag" in /data called .battery-calibrated. So what this script does is runs at boot, checks for that flag, and runs if it doesn't exist, and hides in the background (won't waste your battery) checking every 2 mins where your battery percentage is at. When you charge the phone and hit 100%, the script executes and removes the batterystats.bin file and shuts itself off.

Essentially, this leaves you in a state of always calibrating your battery which may sound odd, but it should make your battery reporting much more accurate and it doesn't matter when you charge your phone or anything like that. I'm excited to see the outcome of this because I anticipate this to be a major battery helper. I hope this makes sense :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
Thank you for the details

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation...It really helps us understand it, though I am in IT field, I am not a programmer and do not understand lot of these things...Upgrading m ROM now...

Cheers
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Hey man, no problem. Now we can start counting how many people ask me about this without reading this even though I linked to it in the OP :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trim81:
Just downloaded and installed.. Cool!

Question, what new changes did you do to the governor for better battery? Lower voltage?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Changed the up_threshold and down_threshold. The phone won't try to scale up as fast and it will try to scale down faster. You should get the same performance but notice better battery life.

I don't want to undervolt the ROM stock because the LoStKernel voltages are pretty spot on. I can undervolt -25mv stable but I don't know if others can but they can do the voltage mods on their own through vC :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
One more question

Do I just flash 2.1 over 2.0 or wipe cache and dalvik and flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahl395:
You can just use LCD Density Changer app or Rom Toolbox

Sent from my SGS II
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahl395:
It is essentially giving your phone a higher resolution by making the screen higher density. I think its essential for our phones since the screen is so big and res is a bit low.

Thanks alot my friend! As a starving college student, I really appreciate that lol

Here are a few at 190DPI. Just be aware that some apps won't show or update in the Market if you change your DPI.

God damn it, I forgot to add that. If you are on v.2 or v.2.1, just go into viperControl and do option 3, option 1, type JobManager.apk (case sensitive) and boom, you're good to go. You may need a reboot but not likely. I will have this totally fixed in v.3 :)

Make sure you wiped everything in clockwork. Also, check the md5sum. You may have gotten a corrupt download.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
One BIG thing I noticed is that my lockscreen widgets don't dissapear after a reboot. I use widget Locker for a custom lockscreen and with the previous rom they would disappear every time. so happy this dosen't happen anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
No I am not. I should put this in the first post so I don't have to keep answering it lol I had this username all over the internet for like 10 years. I made the name when I was 11 because I loved the Dodge Viper and when I named my ROM on the E3D, I didn't know there was such a thing as "viperrom" before.

Battery percentage I will get in there, however, I hate TW, but all the TW stuff is in /sdcard/viperROM/removed_apps and you can use vC to restore it. I will make it more efficient so if you want to restore TW, vC will restore the widgets and everything associated with TW.

I will look into it, thanks!

No, but yes, I intend to add it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
wow great work viper.

ill flash the ROM once I get home and donate
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Poke around on the Google Code page for WiFi Tether and see if anyone posted anything about it. Also, check out the other SGSII forums and see if anyone has anything about it.

I would love to take credit for that but I don't know why other ROMs were causing that to happen because I didn't change anything that would have made it stick, but I'll take credit for it anyway :D

Oh sweet, my first donation for this phone! :D Thanks much!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BobVila:
Really solid ROM. Just moved over from an phone with CyanogenMod and had to burn through a few to find one I liked.

One thing I've noticed (wiped/flashed twice to make sure it was reproducible) - the music application fails to load every time.

Keep up the great work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xPSYB0RGx:
Viper, for the super noobs such as myself, you may want to incorporate some other details about flashing this rom. Things required before flash, ect.

I think I shouldve asked this question while it was fresh on my mind. Is it compatible with cwm 5.0.2.x?

I flashed it, I FORGOT TO FORMAT SYSTEM UNDER "mounts & storage", I had all sorts of errors, cant find path blah blah, then...... I odin stock eg30 deodexed, went into cwm, formatted system under mounts & storage, wiped cache & dalvik (I did not factory reset, didnt think i needed too) reflashed your rom, it said everything was completed, rebooted..... and been stuck at the "galaxy s2" screen for maybe 7 mins now.

So i dont know what Im missing or doing wrong?

*************************************EDIT*****************************************************

Ok, im back in cwm, and im getting this:

E: failed to open /etc/recovery.fstab (no such file or directory)

E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]
