Really Sucks

Damn. Im pretty sure my phone just bricked. I had the update running just fine, and moved the deleted programs into the system apps folder. After resetting, the phone just stayed at the boot screen. After resetting again, the phone will not recognize the internal sd card anymore (which is where the Rom zip is) so I can't reflash it. If anybody can help, please do. Just got the phone a week ago and this would be the worst thing I can possibly think of.

To make this ROM more amazing than it already is, it requires:

1. Reboot options.

2. UI tweak menu (as seen on StarBurst).

That is all! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
A phone is not bricked if it turns on. A brick is a phone that will not turn on or go into download mode. If u can't boot up or do anything in recovery then use odin to flash something. Then u can start over. That's your best bet. Good luck.

Hi if you could use a non exp kernel or i guess i could always flash one but as i was out tonight i lost signal and then got the circle of Death known as LOS

I know the chris41 guys try to hail it as the fix but in reality it is just a good kernel but does not solve the issue of LOS with the circle.

But from others the non exp has been better so either way.

What does media server do exactly? I don't remember it using so much battery % before. See attached screenshots, I texted some, had music playing, and then Pandora some. at first I thought that maybe my music app was responsible, but it's listed towards the bottom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
I forgot about the Task Manager button so I will re-add it in the next build. For the time being, just restore from vC.

And the pulldown is a little off. I will have a better looking one next build and you all will like it lol

Its in the viperROM folder under apps. The problem was when i preinstalled it, it made things force close. This seems to be an issue on everyone ROM I've seen so far where some preinstalled apps get messed up.

For everyone with the GPS issue, what the hell are you all doing? Lol i had no issues whatsoever and i didn't touch anything related to GPS. did you guys wipe everything? Are you restoring apps from TB? make sure you are only restoring user apps and data and NOT system apps!

Media server is the service that scans your sdcard for music. I think it also is used when actually playing music from the card as well but it shouldn't use that much power. What music app were you using? Do you have alot of files on your card? Monitor that, you may need to wipe your sdcard and just move back all your essential files (music, pics, etc). Sometimes the card gets fragmented and stuff from USB mounting.

Again, for everyone having bad battery life, follow the calibration procedure I've posted numerous times and then report back.

And for the plans for this ROM, yes I intend to get more lockscreens in here but i need to make sure that the framework files that lock screen pack has doesn't mess up what i currently have in place. I want to do a semi transparent window on the notification bar too and clean up the viperROM logo in the bar. Please understand that i like to be accommodating but i also like build parts of the ROM the way I like so i don't have to flash 5 zips to make MY ROM work the way I want it to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mynaga:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Loki047:
Everything was wiped and reflashed. Just doesnt work. This was also tested before installing any applications or restoring anything with TB. Ill try again in a few days - until then I'll see what else is cooking.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Also, for people that the GPS isn't working, you can try as a trick from the old EVO 4G - get your MSL (MSL reader doesn't work on this phone, so you gotta call Sprint) Then, go into the Dialer and type ##GPSCLRX# and enter your MSL. It should clear your GPS out from there but it may ask what you wanna do after you enter the code, I really don't remember but you are looking for a clear or reset option. Please post your feedback about this. But it should allow your GPS to worK.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I too have absolutely horrid battery life.

Nothing corrects the issue.

Calibrated four times.

Don't use an external sd card, wiped the internal sd, nothing seems to help.

Keep getting these warnings too. Especially when the phone is idle:

[It's important to note that I get those two warnings and horrid battery lifeeven if the phone is completely stock with no apps installed or anything

This is my second Epic Touch. Previous one had the same issues.]

Can anyone tell me which apk to install in the removed apps folder so I can get the task manager that came with the phone back

That would be the "JobManager.apk"

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
remove viperROM logo from the notification bar. no need to advertise yourself, i'm running your rom already. never a good idea to clutter UI with your "logos" ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
Man this turned into a "let's ***** about all the things wrong with the ROM" thread.

1. My GPS works fine and I flash at LEAST 2 ROMS a week. So I have NO idea what you guys are doing with your GPS so that it's not working.

2. Who gives a **** if he wants his logo/tag in the status bar. It's his ROM.

3. User input aka feedback is always appreciated for chefs so they can enhance/modify their ROM next time. It will NEVER be perfect for each individual because we're all running so many different ROM's.

4. Be grateful he's even putting a ROM out there which apparently, he's working very hard on.

5. Battery life will always be YMMV. Once the battery is re-calibrated and of course flashing a new ROM, it takes awhile for the phone to settle down into it's groove before the battery life is stable. Expect it to be a little buggy for possibly the first few days sometimes.

Be more constructive with the criticisms and make suggestions. @ viper - maybe make a thread so people can "request" features in your upcoming builds.

I appreciate the ROM and I have mine working flawless. I tossed the V6 Supercharger Script on it and messed with some of your vc settings in Terminal and my Quadrant score, after closing mostly everything was 4966.

Great job on the ROM and now it's my new daily driver until MY ROM is finished which I hope you'll let me pick your brain about for a few things here soon.

rast4man

Friend, if you can't deal with the fact that people are going to complain about their issues on a forum related to something being offered then I suggest you not go on the internet.

People want help with their GPS issues they're having? Oh noes!

People ask about where this ROM may go in the future? Again, oh noes!

People are having battery usage issues and are bringing it up? Again...oh noes!!!

Welcome to the internet.

No one here has really been rude.

Which is actually pretty "epic" for these forums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
Easy killer. My point for my post was that it's been addressed by viper and he's FULLY aware of the situation. The redundant posts don't help because again, he's aware of the problem(s) some are having with their devices. HE has posted numerous times that he can't help every single person with each individual issue and does the best he can. So I can "deal" with the Internet because....I AM THE INTERWEBZ!

Bottom line: cut the guy some slack, I'm not speaking on his behalf by any means but I'm sure he wants everyone to have a perfectly working viperROM in a perfect world. We know that's not possible but I'm sure he's planning an update to help with some of these issues for those that are having the problems.

So my post was more about being dickish, yours was just a fail attempt at being humorous. I digress...

cant for the life of me understand how this rom allowed me to only drop 25% battery in over 12hrs. went to bed around 12am at 52-54%. just woke up 7am and battery says 50%. wtf! absolutely amazing and well done viper. i appreciate all the hard work. thank you.

You can get all this if you go to themes and flash the ported lock screens and status bar mod. It even puts reboot in the menu when you hold the power button and gets rid of viper on the notification bar.

that forum has the lostkernel which gives you root. follow instructions there and odin it. so then your able to have cwm recovery and flash ViperRom.

Note: PPL have been experiencing LOS due to rooting but this kernel helps with that. However, a few ppl do still experience LOS just not as frequent. Just a heads up. I however, have experienced LOS only once using the Lost kernels.

Great ROM No issues

Hi Viperboy,

Great ROM once again. I always do all the wipes and Formats and then install your ROM and never have any issues. I hope everyone having issues tries that.

In the past when I installed other ROMS and had issues, I would go back to Stock and start from scratch including wipes and formats and the issues will be gone.

Please do not remove the pulldown Viper Logo I like it.

My humble suggestion is that build the ROM just the way you like and then if people want some more stuff included or removed, post zips with which they can install and uninstall what ever they want. At least that way people like me who like your ROM with your preference and selection will not have to do anything except install your ROM.

Another suggestion would be to people having issues please post how you installed it while posting the issues, sometimes one might forget one important step and that might help Viperboy help you and help others learn what precautions to take. Viperboy can select to not answer questions if those details are not provided yet he is not doing so and that is nice of him.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
My first total LoS was on version 1. When i mean total LoS, i mean the crossed circle does NOT go away. Even on stock, in places of low signal i would get the circle but it would go away almost immediately and find service again.

Flashed version 1 a few days ago, woke up this morning and i had the LoS circle and it would not go away. Was wary about trying version 2 seeing as i would have to do a full wipe as recommended. Decided to try Starbust instead, that was a no go, phone wouldn't boot past Galaxy splash screen. Thought maybe i downloaded a bad zip, tried again and again and gave up on Starbust.

Then i remembered that i really like the Segoe font in viperROM and thought WTH, give version 2 a chance. Battery life is a bit so-so but i'm going to try the charge to 100% and let it drain suggestion and see what happens.

**

As an aside;

One thing i've noticed that DEFINITELY causes my Androis OS usage to spike is when i leave wifi turned on but not connected to a wifi signal. Now this has never been issue going back to my previous devices, Epic 4G and Nexus S4G.I

I've always left wifi turned on, when i get home/work phone automatically connects to wifi signal, when i leave home it switches to 3g. But on this Epic Touch there seems to be a bug where the wifi seems to go crazy when not connected to a wifi signal but left on. So now my behaviour is to always manually switch off wifi before i leave an area with known networks and manually turn it on vice versa. Annoying but that the only way i've noticed my Android OS usage stay normal otherwise it spikes to the high 50's and 60's and battery is dead in 6 hrs flat.
