[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
This might seem trite, but what steps did you follow to 'wipe' your device? Because the first time I loaded the version with the 2.3.6/EK02 ROM, I made a big mistake -- I used Format/System, Wipe Cache, and Wipe Dalvic Cache. I might have even used Calk's Format zip/script. I did NOT do a Factory Reset/Wipe, because I didn't feel like reconfiguring all my apps, and I wasn't sure if Titanium had all of my data.

Everything appeared to be fine, except e.g., my Market app was still behaving funny, and it had not reverted back to a non-customized version (per the changelog). I didn't think much of it, until I ran some Quadrant benchmarks and saw a score of ~2500, much lower than I expected.

THIS time, I did a Factory Reset/Wipe, added Calk's zip file for good measure (prob redundant), and re-loaded the ROM. Though I use Titanium, I chose to reinstall most apps from the Market that are highly integrated w/the OS or which replace core functions (e.g., Google Voice, my 'SNS' synced apps such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn).

A couple hours of effort and reconfiguration of apps later, and my Market works fine, and my Quadrant score has returned to ~3,500 (@1200MHz). :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Very nice John. So where do I find it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kpeng2:
Does 12/11 release include the latest OTA update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Antagonistt:
I performed full wipes each time with these steps in this order:

1. wiped user data (factory reset/wipe)

2. wiped cache

3. wiped dalvik

4. used caulks wipe all

5. wiped cache once more

6. wiped dalvik once more

7. installed rom

Is there anything I'm missing? Just for grins, I also formatted system and still had the same results. I don't mind doing long tedious restores if it fixes things. I have tried restoring a small set of apps only, apps plus data, redownloading direct from market and finally just clean install and doing nothing beyond logging into my google account through the market. I'm at a total loss for ideas at this point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
ok.. there is a problem. When I made the 1x3G mod fix, some code got out of align and now when 4G connects, it reads "attention" instead of "4g network connected"

Expect a fix today as well as the updated YouTube.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revoman77:
Hey steve... Great rom yet again, i dont even bother dl any others anymore... Ive asked the question in general before if there is a way to get the dialer from the sam infuse ported to gs2 with no responses, long expl short is dialer for gs2 will not allow 3 way call to choose which call to disconnect, infuse dialer will... I am assuming this is s/w rather than sevice is unable to do this... You would be my hero forever if you can do this... I use 3 way everyday and hate having to call the person back rather than simply ending call i want to...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
+1

would like this as well . will make my calls easier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The person above was right. It is Go Locker with the Fourkey theme. Its on the Market. Sorry, was tired last night when I found it. They also have an ICS, Sense, IPhone, etc themes...oh and a zipper lock too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am just wiping data, cache partition, and dalvik cache and flashing the ROM. I don't restore anything unless its from 2.3.6 now and that's only with an advanced restore/ restore data only.. people restoring apps with Titanium are having mixed results
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Can't edit in pictures...battery doesn't seem to drain much at all on Wifi while idle. Go Locker definitely better on battery than Widget Locker
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revoman77:
Using titanium and funny things happening... Seems primarily calls going to vm when data being used...will flash again later n pay closer attn to which apps are resored
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I try to help out in all of the threads and I am reading alot of posts about soft reboots,bootloops,etc even with people only restoring apps with Titanium. I use JRummy's Ultimate Manager Pro app but I still don't restore anything except data only from a nandroid
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Update 12-12

Update to 12-12

-Fixed 1X/3G Mod again. Before, it was interfering with the 4G connection message. It was saying "Attention" instead of "4G network connected"

-Re-added current YouTube 2.3.4 with themed icon

If you are already on the EK02 2.3.6 base, you can flash over with only a cache and dalvik wipe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Thanks strongsteve!! I just flashed the Gingerbread screen rotation on your ROM and it works great as well!.. just an F.Y.I Now we can use XDA app, adjust settings,etc in landscape view. I was just going to text you to see if you wanted to add it but you are too quick! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nyflyguy:
I'm using the stock kernel that came with this rom. I also updated my modem to EK02 if that matters at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leodesol:
Love this ROM!!! Any chance we can get a blue calendar icon to fit with the blue theme? Also, are the custom blue icons, such as the mail ones, somewhere in the system files? Would love to change the icon of my mail app (Touchdown) to have it fit with the overall theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You know.. I never thought about the calendar since I use a different one. Yes! I will upload a calendar with a themed icon later today.. also, send me the apk and I will install a themed icon for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leodesol:
Touchdown APK: http://nitrodesk.com/tddownloads/nitroid-droid.apk

Touchdown is a nice, but expensive, paid app for exchange, use for work and they paid for the app :) It comes with some shortcuts, and surprisingly, the calendar shortcut for Touchdown is already blue... the email one isn't :(

I use Touchdown for exchange email and calendar and default one for gmail/google personal mail and calendar. I like to keep them separated.

Happy to change the icon in touchdown using ADW launcher if it saves you time, just need a image file to use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
ok.. can you send me the default icon and I will make it blue.. or is there a free version I can download? You can take the icon into photoshop and change the color pretty easy.. let me know

Ooops.. just saw the link.. I will get on that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Is this the icon?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leodesol:
Looks like it, but it is beige on my phone of course.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
ok.. you can pull that one to use with your launcher or if you need the black around it to be transparent, I will have to wait until I get home tonight to run it through photoshop.. let me know

Also.. there is a new leak without CIQ..

Just when I thought I was done for awhile and could rest.. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leodesol:
I should be able to use gimp to change the black to transparent. Thanks for the help!

Seems like there is always something new coming out, but glad to see CIQ completely removed. Thanks for all of your hard work on these ROMs!

I think I have a real problem. :/

I rebooted my phone into recovery to flash latest update & now i'm stuck at CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7

I never even got to flash this,what's worse is I can use the up/down volume rocker to scroll through options but,nothing allows me to select an option like the power button or the search button.

What happened??

What can I do now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Can you yank the battery, give it a minute, put battery back in. Then power back on and let me know what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
The exact same thing every time,Steve.

Straight to CWM Recovery and no way to select an option.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Download a stock tar to your computer

Put your phone in download mode by holding down button and powering on and then hit up

Use odin to flash a stock tar.. then we can go from there..

sounds like something is wrong with your recovery image right now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Oh my.

I hate to ask ,but could you link me to the exact stock tar you are referring to?

Make sure you flash the tar in the pda section
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Do you also recommend ACSRecovery5 as the guy states in video or stay with CWM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
it really doesn't matter.. I always prefer to stay with standard CWM, thats why I include it with the rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Alright,thanks.

Let you know how it goes.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

Ok,that's been flashed in Odin & passed.

Rebooted on it's own & I'm back to blue CWM Recovery screen v5.0.2.7.

Still no way of choosing an option yet.

Phone still plugged into USB.

Sidenote,I'm a nervous wreck.

I followed u over from themikmik using cho's roms.

Im loving ur rom and the blue. Great work.

So my issue is the high android os usage...and is there anything address it? I have never seen it this high before on other devices.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I would odin the complete tar.. should have both the rom and zimage
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yeah.. I would love a good Mik rom here on the Epic touch. They remove all the extra languages and I would love to do that but its just so much work.

I am not sure about the android os thing.. mine hovers pretty low.. gonna put up a screen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The Android OS bug is one that's apparently in all SGS2 variants. There isn't a known fix for it but it definitely drops as you use your phone more. I have had my screen on for about 1 hour and it already dropped behind desolate and my battery doesn't seem effected by it...edit..wrong pic. Its early here but you get the point with the pic. Android OS was at the top of my list until I started using phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Have you asked Mik to do his magic on your ROM? He may do it as a 1 off kind of thing the way he used to do CM.

Used his stuff forever on my OG EVO...love his optimizations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Still unresponsive in CWM.

:(:eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Maybe when I get this new one together, I will shoot him a PM. I know we can do some png opting and remove the languages..

You had CWM on previous setup? Meaning you know to hold volume up and power until splash screen shows twice and CWM appears? I assume you already know this but I thought I would check because nobody else reported that issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
I was using Rouge CWM with another ROM I shall not mention until I switched to this ROM like 2 weeks ago...

Yes,I have done that.

Steve,I sent you a PM so I don't clutter up your thread.:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
Rogue uses power button to select, the blue CWM uses power as back and home to select
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Sounds good. Let me know if you need some help. I cannot do any of the building of the ROM, but I can go thru and remove/optimize pngs etc if you need.

Agree though, Mik's stuff was a LOT of work.

EDIT: BTW, loving this ROM...just can't beat the Odexed experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Thanks.

Nothing worked though,nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Can you get in Download mode? If so, start fresh

Awesome! Looking forward to both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
is busybox installed on this? I cant find it....is it supposed to be in system/xbin? The odex rom this is based on says it is included?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Pretty sure it is. Grab Busybox Installer from Market. It will bump it up to!1.9. Strongsteve, if possible and you have time, can you pull the kernel and re-zip for me please? If I use any of the CWM5s...well you know the story, can't used pulled stock which I like to put back on after flashing. Only ACS CWM4 version allows me to use stock after I do my flashing...TIA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Downloaded busybox installer app and it says busybox not installed. So i used the app to install it then uninstalled app and busybox still remains in system/xbin....thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
how does this rom differ from your other odex(ICS) rom?

BTW, that ics rom is fantastic; I don't know if I should keep that one, or "upgrade" to this one...

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Its really asthetics mainly.. personal preference. I am glad you like it!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
ok, then I might as well just stay on that one..fantastic battery life, but, every time I try to oc to 1.45 using tegrak, it reboots..

oc'ing to just 1.4, and it works fine..thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You will need to get the paid version and adjust voltage. 1.6 with 1375 voltage works great for me!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
New market 3.3.11

Here is the new market.. odexed.

Go to applications then market.. make sure uninstall updates is greyed out. If it is not, push it to uninstall updates

In other words, make sure there are NO traces of market in data/app

Use root explorer and navigate to system/app. Delete Vending.apk and Vending.odex

Unzip my file and push the new Vending.apk and Vending.odex to system/app

Reboot phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I think I can, pull the kernel and flash the theme with CWM4. Heres where I am at right now....just checked all of the boxes,so you can see the blue. Strongsteve, I extracted it, pulled kernel and zipped it and install aborted

It has to be re-signed after you re-zip.

How are you overclocking to 1.6? I have the paid version also and it only lets me oc to 1.4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Go to the main menu and choose optimization.. then you can custom all of the levels..

Just make sure to allow it to watch stability.. also make sure to give enough voltage or it will reboot..

I can't go without it. I am using a slightly different version called Viper Pad made by Team Viper from the Epic. That's why my icon is blue. Other than that, its basically the same thing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
OK I've been playing with this for a few hours now. It does render a usb jig useless. If you have wifi turned on and leave the area it does not reconnect to 3g data or carrier signal. If you go back into wifi range it will connect back to wifi then you turn wifi off and carrier signal works fine. I odened back to original and then to ek02 and things are back to normal.

What have you heard? I just went back to this rom after experimenting with el13 for roughly 36hrs and couldnt find much of a difference between ek02. I just wanted to check it out.I am now running el13 modem with this rom and im geeting as good battery life as I did with eg30. When I was running ek02 modem I was experiencing not as good battery life on this rom. Anyway, Steve i cant wait for the new update....thanks for all your hard work! The beauty of it is, if its not for some people then there is always nandroid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The only one that changes the bootloader is the SamFirmware one that you need to enter the password to download. As long as strongsteve is not using that one as the base, I am down because Chris posted that flashing Calkulin's fix is dangerous. If Odin freezes, you have yourself a dead phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
So EL modem is working well for you? I may have to try it out today since I don't have anything to test yet...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Haven't heard or experienced any difference in battery life. Have heard of a few issues of LOS. I flashed it this morning ( I realize all devices have their own personality) Before doing so, I made sure I was running off of the same server. I ran 3 speed test on 3g with EK...averaged 714. Ran 3 speed tests with EL averaged 372...both download speeds.

Some things I've read/heard:

- jig no longer resets the custom binary counter.

- if you lose wifi while on wifi it doesn't swith to 3g. you have to regain wifi to disable wifi, or reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Well I didnt use the samy one but I did use the one Jerdog put up without the password. I just saw chris post on replacing the bootloader. Got me a little worried. LOL
