Great. Thanks for all the input everyone. Truly appreciate it.

If there is something wrong with my battery...which I doubt...where is a good place to buy a new OEM battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Screenshots please or are you not using the phone much at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
Could wiping battery stats hurt battery life?

I did this in cwm after I started noticing poor battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Doubtful. Mine takes longer to get to 100% if screen is on than it does if its off
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Not at all. I wipe them after every ROM and kernel change BUT it does take a few battery cycles or a couple of days for it so settle in to new setup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cobraboy85:
wiping battery stats in not necessary in my opinion. i never do it, and never have problems.

what i do, however, is after a ROM install i charge the battery completely, then run it down to 1 percent, not completely dead, 2 or 3 times. then use as i normally would.

your batterystats.bin file is just that, a bin file of your battery stats which means it stores information relative to your charge capacity and that data can change based upon usage.

It is more important to just do a couple of full battery cycles after installing a rom. Simply wiping your battery stats won’t do much of anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
Alright great. Thanks a ton for that informative information from both of you. I truly appreciate it. Sounds like the full cycles is the thing to do.

Thanks for both of your time and input.

Well, once again in SoCal, I had a meeting at 1:30. I used the navigation and it gave me fastest route. As soon as I got on the 60 Freeway, it rerouted me for traffic accident. Had me exit gave me a quick route to the,5 Freeway and I made my meeting right on time. The estimated arrival time is pretty accurate. Everything is working to perfection but I am on first version still. Just made a nandroid and was going to update but having second thoughts about lock mod and AIO right now. Can someone running those mods please go in about phone/battery and see what Android System and Android OS numbers are please?

SS, did you add more changes, since emailing me?

Yeah. I didn't have any issues, but I guess people are. I switched back to the kernel that is with this ROM just in case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I hope both of you feel feel better. Migraines are evil. I have to admit my flashaholic tendencies got the best of me and the cravings for ice cream took over. Mainly I wanted to try the chrome browser, speech recognition, and the new menus. All the important stuff worked for me but it definitely isn't ready for prime time. Amazes me how many people will flash a test Rom with no custom recovery before they have a clue about how to go back to a working GB Rom. My test lasted all of about 12 hours. Any of you tried the FB15 modem? It works great for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks for the information. Was curios about the touch screen feature, but not worth problems.

Anyone have luck uploading pics with xda?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Should be your new sig! Lol. As I start to learn a more, I realize that some ROMs and/or kernels have all kinds of stuff stuck in there. Repack stock kernels on this phone are fast,good on battery, and stable. Also I used to be the first to flash everything on my OG Epic. Ask any former Epic user what my nickname was but this phone worked so well out of the box that it didn't need all kinds of work to make it great. I am tempted to flash one leak just to take a look but there is no way I am giving up features or battery life/stability just to say I am on the latest. Test for a day...maybe but that's it/end rant
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
wow thats a nice screen. :D any chance you can tell me the name of that clock widget? it looks pretty nice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I'm in the middle of Nowheresville in Oregon right now. Caught the icon trying to connect. After pasting the file in system app, got a force close for status bar 4 or 5 times while trying to scroll down to the apk to change permissions. All good on a reboot and looking spiffy. Thanks for the Greenlessness
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I would like to know the clock widget myself please
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Analog Clock Collection HD by Android Lab. There's 4 in the pack to choose from. I just noticed something with go launcher. When I add the widget back to my homescreen it plants itself all the way to the top of the screen on the left side. When I move it to the middle it stays at the top. I'm on the 5x4 configuration.One of the gripes with go launcher was the wasted screen space at the top. I guess they fixed it. Compare this screenshot to my last one.

Edit. If I try to resize it, it won't go all the way back to the top.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
ya i saw that, i hate wasting screen space as well... :p thanks/ just need some advice, i have my good ol nandroid of the 2-5-12 build. would you guys (or gals) cinsider it to be safe to update from the nandroid or go ahead and start over? i feel like running on perfection for awhile. i got some good counseling from the flashaholic thread... lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
It will work fine without a full wipe. Unlike some other roms, I've flashed every SS EL29 version without wiping. I use Calkulin's modified wipe zip that says no data at the end of the file name. Maybe Paul can point you to it. I have to drive back to Seattle now. See ya
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
ya i always have that on my phone. i know what your refering to. thanks for the info :D have a safe drive!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tonio88:
I use it. The touch recovery is cool. The one gripe I have is it changed the boot screen just to the word android and light flashing across it. It got rid of the GS2 one but kept the shutdown animation.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] feelingnerdi:
Anyone else having 3G issues?

Also what can i do to increase battery life on this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am not having any data issues at all. I always recommend manually removing Sprint proxies and updating profile and prl every so often.

Battery life.. find out what is using it the most and reduce that need. I do not use scripts that cripple the device in an attempt to save battery so its up to you to conserve to your liking. I, personally, use my phone at will without worrying about battery. I carry a spare and am I always near an outlet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Found this in the Market for ADW users. It has the same clock widgets I use in it and over 1200 icons with the black glass look to match the clock. Market link below the pic. I'm going to switch back to ADW so I can try it.

Try different modems, too. The new FB15 has worked the best for me but it's not a sure bet it will be the best for everyone. FB21 was just released but I haven't tried it yet. You can find all the modems here.

Edit: I emailed the theme devs to ask if they could make a couple of the clocks with blue numbers and hands. Hey Paul and SS..can you make them blue? Haha!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Of course we can!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Nice looking icons. You want the clock in the picture above to be changed to blue numbers/hands? I will download it and look into this weekend.

Just tried that theme. It did not change the phone, messenger, gmail, or contacts :( They are about the only icons that show on my home screen.. Might be because I have manually changed them icons myself, so they are not being over written.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] feelingnerdi:
I SEE BARS! lol .. I removed proxies but did not update prl yet. Thanks for the info! I did use a battery saving mod called "SuperFreeze" which is supposed to disable Social & Media Hubs and OTA Updates from Samsung. Since I used app quarantine to freeze the social and media, it did come in usefull for the OTA updates and they are no longer running in the background. Maybe a slight increase in battery? who knows.. but I dont need the updates anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
If you manually changed any icons you would have to set them back to default to see what the theme applies. That's the way it is with Go and assume it's similar with ADW. There's 4 clocks that come with the package. One is round and I don't care much for that one. One has fugly green hands and the other two white hands. I'd be happy with just the hands blue on one or more of them. I know you guys use ADW but I still prefer Go with my steel blue theme and the separate clock widget add on. You guys have the eye for blue so whatever you think.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I'm not sure the meaning of, or how to remove Sprint proxies manually. I do update PRL and profile after every flash of a ROM, KERNAL or MODEM. Just not sure if there is something I'm missing out on.

You mean to tell me that with everything else going to being done by script, I have to do something manually... Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
The thread is here and there are a couple other links on the thread as well. It's worth doing for sure. You'll need the MSL number for your phone and there are a couple ways to get it. Downloading the terminal emulator app is easiest. In addition to the Wimax tweaks listed on the thread, I raise my sleep interval to maybe 45 or 60 seconds. I forgot what the default is, but Wimax goes to sleep quickly and sometimes it's hard to get it out of sleep mode. FYI. When I ran Calkulin's ICS Rom with the stock kernel for a short time, it wouldn't let me disable the proxies. Not sure why.

Recompiling seems to be a real issue

Pretty neat that Box.net is offering 50GB of free storage and they have a decent app. But then they make it pretty much useless, because they don't allow you to sync to it. For me I want that much data storage so as to sync my computer to it for backup and also to access my data from anywhere. So pretty much I have 50GB of data just to upload a file from my phone once in awhile. Kind of a waste. Dropbox is so much more useful. The syncing is great. $100 a year for 50GB storage is more than I want to pay though. I need to figure out a way to sync to Box.net unofficially. Sorry... Just kind of ranting..

Looking at that clock app.

Think I will be able to change the hands to blue. But changing the digits to blue and keeping the black transparent background, will require a pixel by pixel edit. Not sure how good I will do at that. I certainly can try. As an alternative I am going to try a completely blue theme, backdrop and all. Let me see how that looks and if you like it. If not I will look into trying more editing.

Edit: Think it will look good, but after editing Android does not seem to happy about it. So will need to mess with it more.

---------------------------------- (First Screen Shot)

Edit: Got it to work. Needs to be in System/app to use though. Let me know what you think of the first attempt. I did it somewhat quickly. If it is the wrong shade of blue. Too much blue and not enough contrast, etc. Keep in mind if you need the background of the clock black it will take a bit of work (more time). I also themed the icons that you will see while selecting the widget. Here is a screenshot of each clock. If it is how you want it or not let me know. Also can someone tell me if it is OK to post an APK of a free app from the Market or will I get in trouble with XDA?

.... The background is a shade of blue. The hands and digits are a light blue. I can go darker on the hands.

----------------------------------- (Second Screen Shot)

Edit: Ok, so I was able to keep the background black on the two that you liked the best (top two, in second screenshot). But there is some small pixel issues on the digits and also on the round clock border on bottom right screenshot). I would have to clean this up. But before I spend more time with it let me know what you think.

LOL. That's why it got so quite? LOL. Thanks for "believing" me. LOL (Not that there is really anything wrong with the other kind of therapy. But I'm beyond help anyhow.)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Sorry to hear about your shoulder Paul. Weird coincidence. My wife has been fighting shoulder pain for a long time and yesterday she had surgery to remove bone spurs. Luckily they didn't find any tears so she should heal quickly.

I like the work you did on the clocks. They look good as is and I wouldn't spend a lot more time on them. Would it be very difficult to apply the same changes to the widget pack for Go Launcher? I miss the scrolling dock bar and the calendar widget so I'd like to go back to it even though ADW EX is less laggy. It's called Analog Clock Collection HD. Thanks

Edit..reading back it looks like you made the changes to the free Go launcher pack since the ADW theme is a paid app. Correct? I couldn't tell you if it's ok to post a modified app from the market. Maybe pm one of the moderators to ask.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I couldn't agree more JohnCorleone.

pjjohn73, you are absolutely correct in saying there is nothing wrong with the other type therapy. Sometimes life throws us curve-balls and it is necessary.

datahawg, I also like go launcher allot and have the analog clock widget. I second your request for a nice theme for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Holy Guacamole. I emailed the devs yesterday to see if they would make a blue clock. Just got the update. I'm obviously confused though. The clock only widget pack says it's for ADW and Launcher Pro. I was using it on on Go Launcher but didn't realize it is compatible on all those launchers. Sorry. BTW. I like yours with the black background better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Paul, what kind of therapy are you doing? I have a messed up shoulder myself. They want to do an MRI but no insurance.. no way I am paying out of pocket. Are they doing Electric Muscle Stim and heat combined with massage? I was a therapist in a former life. Massaging beautiful women was a great job but I digress...check out a TENS unit. Its like a portable muscle stim. They cost like $40 or $50 and actually work quite well. It works off of a 9v battery and has sticky pads. The unit itself is the size of a phone. You can literally walk around with it on and nobody would notice. Also, try alternative forms of medicine like acupuncture and such....last resort should be surgery

Sorry for this silly question... But... I've been using the XDA app for quite a while, but the other day I noticed for the first time there is a blue dot next to some people in each thread.
