I can report *significantly* improved battery life on my wife's ET4G with v1. She was out for >12hrs lightly using the phone and when she returned still had 45% of her battery left! With stock and a few other roms I had tried she couldn't make it a full 12 hrs at all!

I was wondering if it would be possible/how hard it would be to make a small change to the dialer. On my Atrix 2 (and Atrix 1 and Nexus One before that) in the Recent list, the right-most portion of each entry is a button that will return the call. On this ET4G, the entire entry is a button that will filter the recents to the person touched. Small nag, but it takes an extra tap to return a call.

In my screenshot below, from my Atrix 2, tapping in the red box would call Liz, tapping in the blue box (I added the boxes) would bring up details about the call.

I haven't been formatting system unless something isn't right after doing the conventional wipes like on our og epics.. And if you do format system make sure you do it before the wipes or else you will bork your cwm.

Would be nice to see a little more bloat removed.. I have more than 20 things frozen in Titanium, and some like Sprint Hotspot are still running even though I can't find anywhere to remove it?

Also, how about a restart/reboot into recovery toggle in the power menu?

Awesome work on the rom :D

Edit: a little tip for those sticking with GO Launcher: I noticed the default screen transition isn't very snappy, and its speed cannot be adjusted like LauncherPro, so I set my transition to "Wave". That one seems to be the fastest and still looks good without being overkill.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
removing social hub would be nice too.

also was stuck on the pot screen for a good 4 minutes. had to force shutdown by holding thepower button. will post this bug report or w.e when in on my computer
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
why does the MD5 listed on the XDA post not match up with the MD5 listed on the download site?

for the update not the full ROM file

anyone have any luck with themes? i flashed honeyglow and got boot loops haha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Format = wipe :)

That's very cool! I didn't know that, thanks! Maybe that will help you, dasfiend because for the amount of time to invest in just that one small change wouldn't be worth it.

Sorry, but again, this has nothing to do with the ROM or the kernel, it's the phone itself and I can't do anything about it.

Right :)

Yup, I put 3.2.0 in here but will roll it back next release because of people having issue purchasing things in this version.

Thanks for the suggestions, I just didn't know how much bloat to take out because I'm not sure if there are alot of Samsung specific apps that people use. Any more feedback people?

And yes, I have the reboot toggle on my list of upcoming features.

Also, you can change the option in GO Luancher under Screen Settings > Screen Transition Effect to Quick to make it really snappy.

More details please. What were you doing when this happened? And I think you meant lock screen, but I'm not sure.

Can't speak to the theme but I fixed the md5. I uploaded a version of the v.1 update that I didn't like and I changed something but forgot to change the md5.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
You thought that because it's true.

Exactly the same thing. If someone tells you to "wipe cache" after "formatting" cache, then they're just plain stupid, or completely misguided, at the very least.

Also, there's absolutely no reason in the universe to format (or wipe) any partition more than once. (Unless you see some kind of error message) , your phone believes you the first time when you tell it to "wipe cache".

It's wiped completely after doing it ONCE. It's a script followed by a computer. It doesn't have the ability to look at a "bit of data" and decide on its own not to erase it... i.e.: there are no "sticky" ones or zeros that will be left behind.

Smh at anyone who can't wrap their head around such a simple concept.

(Not talking about you, bro.. You were absolutely correct in your first assumption.)

:)

Edit: Morning, Viper, and BTW, this Rom is running absolutely flawlessly for me, exactly as yours ran on my 3d, and as I knew it would.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Even though the updater-script in recovery formats /system, /cache, and dalvik (well, it actually does an rm -rf, I will fix that eventually even though they are arguably the same) I still manually wipe everything and then let the ROM do it's thing. That's just me though even though it is semi-redundant.

And I'm glad it's running well for you :) tomorrow begins my battery calibration day. It just sucks that it's hard for me to do that because I end up plugging it in to dev on and it messes with my calibration lol

Nice Rom. :) For some reason my wake up seems to lag a tad longer. Is there anyway to fix that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dasfiend:
Yes, that's awesome! Thanks for the info.

Personally I would like to see 100% of the bloatware removed, we don't use any of it. More generally, I would think most people running custom roms are looking to remove the bloat. As a much more technically inclined audience we seem to be far more interested in speed and functionality vs. flashy/"easy". My 2 cents would be to start with the stuff that's eating memory and running services, like the social hub.

Also on a personal note, we hate the stock lock screen, do you have any interest in putting in something else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
yeah i'd like all the bloatware removed too. i just want speed and functionality. maybe im weird, but i run pretty barebones. black background with stock icons and maybe just the clock/power widgets lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Handsome_Rob:
Is anyone else getting "Sleep of Death" on this? Had it happen 3 or times in the past 2 days. Not a HUGE deal but I don't want to put up with it if I don't have to.

I went.to reboot the phone and it was stuck on the boot animation screen. lol. the viper rom screen. might be because I was charging or something idk.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
I agree that one wipe should be sufficient but on the og epic cwm did not do a good job of wiping and hence the 3x wipe came into play. So my question is how can one verify that all has properly wiped after? Old habits die hard sometimes ;-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
I have no idea what the issue on the Epic was, as I didn't own one, but it was probably the same problem we had on the OG-EVO with CWM... The script just wasn't written correctly (at first, that is, Koush fixed it about 6 months ago..). All I'm saying is that if you 'tell a computer' to 'perfom a task' via a script, and it ISN'T being done (like you stated was the case with the OgEpic), then even if you ran the same script a million times, you'll always get the exact same result.

*It's either written correctly, and it works, and only needs to be done once.

OR:

*It's written incorrectly, and it doesn't work, and never will.

Here's an article written by CVPCS, (Cyanogenmod Guru)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Interesting article :-) so one more question, what does formatting system do differently then the wipes then? I am not trying to be noobish just trying to understand this. Tia
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
Recommend not to run setcpu in the op rom has built in profiles set
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
'Format system' will erase your whole system partition on EMMC.

Any 'wiping' script or utility that's job is to 'wipe system' does exactly the same thing.

It formats it. Zero bits of data left behind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
You could use SetCPU and it deactivates the daemon but I don't find a need to run and app and use memory when the daemon uses hardly any memory and I find it to respond quicker.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
Appreciate the clarification
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
No problem :) just remember to reboot after installing SetCPU to deactivate the daemon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Yeah remove all the bloatware 100% cause it all sucks and the 1 or 2 things people use they can back up in TB or get real easy on here rather then the 99% that want it all gone so viper if you remove it ill flash this rom cause the 1 i am on now has none :)

thanks looking forward to flashing this when it gets the bloat and others stuff fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Seems as if this ROM is having the same problem Cyanogen MOD is having with GV notifications... I get the vibrate/notification sound, the notification flashes through with the text/vm transcription text then the notification disappears as if it never happened....

Anyone else having this problem?

Here's a link to the problem people are having on google's page.

http://www.google.cf/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=2588b01f1d47e21e&hl=en

**EDIT** I'm not sure if the problem is with the ROM or the APP but I can confirm that before i installed this ROM my notifications were displaying properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Ok, seems like we all hate bloatware lol so i will remove all bloat in next build and put it on the sdcard and you can easily restore from vC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AJordanWise:
Is anyone else having issues with the mounts working after flashing this? I could not mount usb or sd card. I had to Odin back to Bubby's CWM5 to get everything to mount correctly again. Any ideas or should I post in the LostKernel thread?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Hmm, I don't use Google Voice. Does downgrading solve the problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
I'm not sure - it was working fine before i flashed this ROM on the very some version.... I'd like to see if anyone else uses GV and this ROM to see if they also have the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
Can't mount USB or SD in CWM either. But I can mount normally so eh whatever I can deal with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
don't forget to remove social hub. it's always running I hate it. also den processes too. also are you adding battery mod too and if you can keep the signal bars the same would be.nice. gracias
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AJordanWise:
I apologize for the noob question but what do you mean "mount normally"? I couldn't flash anything since all my zips are on USB storage and I couldn't get to any of my backups.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
Oh you can't mount USB storage...PERIOD? I can mount when I am in the android OS to transfer files from PC. But I can't mount when I am on CWM to my computer to transfer files. You are saying that you can't flash zips at all because it won't mount? That's weird. I suggest....you reflash CWM5 and see if that fixes it. I have no problems with lostkernel. If not I guess the only thing to do is odin back to stock rooted with CWM and then go from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
Cwm5 doesn't let u mount internal sd only cwm4.0 does. So if viper packaged this rom with stock pulled kernel and

I installed this last night and after everything was installed I was looking for removed apps and couldn't find anything. I used Terminal and did 'su' then 'vc' and one of the options was to restore removed apps but it said there wasn't any. I was hoping that you would put the Kies Air program in the removed apps folder but mine seems to be empty. Any ideas where it is or is that a separate download?

Other than that, the ROM is nice and runs smooth and fast. I'll keep checking back for updates. :)

I accidently restored setcpu with tb. I read that it disables daemon. I uninstalled setcpu. Do I need to do something to reactivate daemon it does it automatically reactivate? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
You'll probably need to restart overclock. Go into terminal emulator and type "su"... Hit enter.......... type in "vc" hit enter. Directions are in the op to help from there.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Flash the update .zip too. The path for the apps was wrong in the ROM. Make sure to clear cache and dalvik when flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
You can reboot or go into vC and press 1 and then select 8 to restart daemon.

Is anyone else having issues with getting their screen to turn off ?

I have mine set to timeout at 30 seconds however it will not turn off...

I have to manually turn it off.

I didn't notice this happening after flashing this rom but the only thing I did was update to the latest beta of swype (3.2.6 or whatever)...

Can anyone else confirm/test?

How do you wipe then flash a rom on this phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] big3etr:
I started with a stock rom and stock kernel. I odin'd CW 5.0.2.6 then the update_SU, then after a recovery reboot i flashed viper v1.1 then the 1.1 update. Im stuck in a boot loop. What do you think may be going wrong here?

After letting it reset itself 5-10 times, it gets to the media scanner and freezes then automatically reboots again.

So frustrating!

Android OS bug present on this rom?

I tried searching the thread but I don't see any mention of the Android OS bug being present/not present in this rom? That may be a good sign of it not being present bud I'd like to see if anyone is having this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
Lol I hated that thing :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
No, the daemon isn't really dependent on the kernel to work. I mean, sorta if you want to overclock but even on a stock kernel you can still use the daemon.

Thanks man, I appreciate that!! I want to work with you on some kernel stuff when you get some time! I'm not sure where to find you and if you hang out in IRC at all.

Also, I hate benchmarks but this ROM can push a little higher than your score. I noticed that in the video you accidentally toggled back to conservative when you ran the test and your freqs in the daemon were getting wiped out because you had SetCPU installed. But no matter, here is a Quadrant run I did on this phone just for fun...

No, I haven't seen this bug pop up at all on this ROM. I will keep an eye out.

And I am going to put together another update now. I am getting tired so I hope to get it out in an hour or so but it's going to be more bloat removal, more tweaks to vC (put viperROM folder on internal memory and make the script work with that) and some other minor things. Stay tuned :)

take your Time. I can wait for the update till tomorrow :)

I actually have a theory on what is causing LoS and I'm testing it as we speak. I could be wrong but I think I have an idea :) sorry to hear that though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Looks like the update will be later today (hopefully before I go to class at 12pm) because I am doing a batch optimization on all of the apps. Here is the changelog I have so far and I probably won't get much more into this build...

All apps optimized mx0 compression (more RAM) and PNGOpt

Battery percentages in 1% increments

Modified SystemUI.apk for 1x (thanks Orionstein)

Updated vC to v1.2 and updater-script to use /sdcard, not external_sd

-- Added quick option to restore all TouchWiz files

-- Code cleanup

Downgraded to Market 3.1.5 to fix paid app download issue

Added VoiceRecorder to /sdcard/viperROM/removed_apps

Bloat Removed

-- File Transfer Client, File Transfer Manager, File Transfer Server, Task

-- Manager, Social Hub, Swype, and All TouchWiz Widgets

Removed Camera and Camcorder Noises

Removed bootup sound

Hacked Hotspot (3G only) (thanks Necrosan!)

CRT Animation

This will require a full wipe because of the major app changes but I hope you guys will like it :D I took care of the Swype issue here too because it was submitted to the Google Code page for viperROM. Please continue to add things there so I have an easy way to keep track of thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Great, thanks.

How about remove all foreign languages from all apps to further optimize the rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
That is a little bit harder to do. You think that would be easy, however, some apps won't recompile with some languages removed. Even though you may only use english, there are references to these languages in some of the formats and it ends up being a major huge PITA to figure out what is causing that :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
Looks like a great update! Great work viper.

I hope we can get to 4g on the hotspot. Necrosan seems to have abandoned his work which worries me.
