I sure don't get that kind of connection in my area Steve. I'm lucky to get the bottom bar to light up.. Lol. On occasion i see the bottom 2 light. but I have seen speed increase since fishing FB27 modem with wifi, wimax and 3g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
First 3 are 4g, next 3 are 3g the next is the beginning of wifi. Nowhere near what you are getting on wimax.

:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Go figure, you get better upload with 3g! My 3g I count myself lucky to break 500kbps down :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I was using FB21 and tried FB27 today. 3g was better at home but slower at work in Seattle. Hard to say about 4g because it's so inconsistent in my area.

I picked up a 16g class 10 Patriot micro sd card at Fry's today for $16.99. Saw it in a flyer that was a few days old which says the price ends today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Using new SystemUI, growing on me. Looks good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Did you get one for the rest of us, or just rubbing it in to the rest of us that you have one... Lol.

Great find.

He's getting apps prepared for the long awaited ICS platform. He has released a few smaller tweaks here and there. But really, what is there left to improve? Lol. It is
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
thought he was gonna do an update with all the little things he has changed...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Hey StrongSteve, after messing around with multiple blue wallpapers posted in this thread, I somehow lost and haven't seen a post for your original wallpaper on this ROM. Any chance of getting that? Or point to where it is packed in the ROM zip so I could extract it and use it again for a while?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Is it possible to be too blue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Looks true blue to me

no such thing as too bloo!

bring it!

UPDATE

ok.. since it seems there are a few of you still using my rom..

This is my daily driver by the way..

Here is a very minor cosmetic update to be used with THIS ROM only..

changes..

blue "clear" box in pulldown

changed "cartoonish" looking generic contact icons to just a blue looking typical contact

changed status bar alarm icon to a slightly smaller one

DOWNLOAD

My last goal is to add reboot and reboot recovery to power menu.. someone please point me to how to do this..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Very few? Wow. I decided to try the new modem and everything still works perfect here. I haven't had one problem since day one. I am going to have to check out these changes. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:

LOt of people like your work, please keep on giving us odexed goodies...are you planning to work on the new Stock Release as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmrasm:
My guess is there are more than a few still using this rom. By far the most stable rom for myself. I've tried 5+ ROMs and this is the only one that I have yet to have Los and I've been using it for 2 weeks. Thanks for the hard work, I appreciate the updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:

Request

Same thoughts here, Steve. There is not a lot of chatter here because everything works flawlessly. No other ROM is working this well.

Just wanted to throw my request out there for a less transparent background for the options menu.

Thanks...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Thanks! I need to pinpoint exactly which image that is..

I am sure it is in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Heelfan71:
how do I mount my sdcard with this rom? I go into "usb utilities" and it says click to connect storage to PC. I do that and it tells me to unplug usb cable and I do. Then it tells me to plug it in and I do. But it never connects.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Did you install the drivers?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Heelfan71:
No. I'm on Mac. Did not know I needed to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallblazer124:
I am a newbie to Android. I have had my phone since the first day it was released and I never experienced any LOS. People with LOS has made me scared to flash my phone. After reviewing many ROMS I am convinced that My perfect record with LOS can continue If I flash this rom. Please don’t Flame me but what do I do to flash this ROM? Is root included in this Rom or do i need to Root it first? Also what would be the best thing to use to back up my APPs and the progress I made in the games I am playing such as angry birds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Haha. No not rubbing it in but letting my friends know about the good price on a class 10 card. They are usually 30 bucks. Did you get the new clock package?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
It is in framework-res.apk

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I did get the clock package from pjjohn73. It's awesome. Such eyecandy talent in here, I love it. I did see there is an update for it on the market, but I don't want to lose the themed one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yeah.. other than the SystemUI with the ICS style signal bars and including QuickPic, I was waiting for a possible kernel repack. If that happens, I may update but most likely, I won't be making any more changes to the EL29 rom in the OP.

The ICS OTA will be coming soon and that is going to take some time. I am very nervous with it because I have been having all kinds of decompiling and recompiling issues with the new packages.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Thank you StrongSteve. I looked everywhere I think, but there..lol. I hated losing it. My first bootup on this ROM, I saw that wallpaper and could only say... Ssswweeettttt!

Edit: I have looked in there and it is either hidden very well from rootexplorer, or I'm just not seasoned enough to find it.

Edit2: found it. through the tons of ..PNGs in there, I was looking for it under a different name. After finding it i felt really stupid looking for it under any name besides the obvious.. Lol. You guys certainly put allot of effort in editing all those... WOW!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Almost half price, can't hardly beat that. Let us know how well it performs as I may keep my eyes peeled for one as well. I have a 16GB sd card from my epic 4g I gave to my wife after upgrading to the touch. (but kept the sd card for me and got her a free 8GB). I don't know the class they are, but I'm sure they aren't class 10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
OK...I wanted to make sure cause I was updating with every other update. Ill updates the other sites now....sorry for the delay
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I can look into it. Not sure if I can swap images out or need to rework. At work now. Honestly the update "might" just be different color scheme, in which case updating might be a waste of time other than to have the update not teasing you. Either way will check it out...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
That was the analog clock collection HD with the update available. I'm sorry about that. I think it was the other one that has your awesome touch on it.

Edit: I should prob quit talking now, I'm tired of editing my mistaken posts.. Lol. I updated before seeing your post and your theme was lost, so I'll just re push yours back in place
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
just a quick Q, whats the big deal about the Class of the card? sorry complete noob question... :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Someone else may have a deeper understanding of this, but my understanding is the higher class read and write speed is faster. class 10 I believe is capable of 10MB/sec.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
LOL. no problem. I have to edit myself all the time. So there is an update? I will try to update tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
alright thanks. :D i myself am looking for an sd card. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Correct. I think they are "supposed" to be at least 100mb, I think some are more. Got myself a 32gb a while back for like $47. I got a more expensive one that wa bad, I returned, the cheaper one has been great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I shows an update available, but it doesn't say what is being updated. It only states v2 Feb 25
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Since we were on the subject, i was reading more about sd cards when I came across this and thought I'd share. I found it interesting it says something about playing your 1080p HD movies captured from your Samsung Galaxy SII smartphone.

http://m.pocketnow.com/smartphone-news/samsung-announces-class-10-microsd-card-for-smartphones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Those Samsung cards are nice. If they are the same ones I read about, they're also water resistant and super heavy duty. They'll also set you back about $100 for a 32gb unit. The 16gb is about 60 I think. I don't expect to see a big performance gain over my class 4 card, but backups and restores should be faster and transferring big files on and off with my pc should be speedier too.

I'm pretty sure the clock update is the same one where they added the blue faced clock. Paul reworked the older version so that's why the Market is telling us there's an update. I just ignore it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Give me a bit of time with the clock update. They added some folders with graphics. I have to figure out if I need to update the images or not. Will have it done as soon as I can.

Edit: Ok. The original Clock app had that FUGLY round clock. This version has the blue square glass clock like the black one. Would you like me to have my themed ones (except the round) and replace the round one with that blue glass? I am trying to keep that one blue with black digits and hands.

Edit: that clock is not using the hands it is supposed to be using, it is sharing with another, so not sure if I will be able to have the black hands... Grrr

It appears that when they got rid of the round clock, they left the hands in the app, but are not using them, but are sharing with the black glass clock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I think you're right, Paul. I love the 2 square ones you did and wouldn't use the others anyway. If I ever had the itch for a clock with a blue face, I could install the update and then push back to yours anytime. If anyone wants a round clock with a blue trim there's a bunch of those in the market already. Search ICS analog clock and you'll find them. A couple of them look pretty good but not a good as your secret sauce.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks.

Here is the blue with the black digits, but I can't get the hands because as far as I can tell they got lazy (I could be mistaken) and just reused a different clocks hands, and ignored "Clock 3's" hands. So without getting into the xml or programming or something I think I am SOL. Its to bad as the black on blue is not to bad, if it were on a light background anyhow..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
OK I kept the new blue clock blue and changed the digits blue to match the hands as I can't change the hands without messing up the black/blue clock. Not ideal, as i would like to have made it with black hands and digits. I also can't put the round clock back in, because they way they programmed it to ignore the original hand pics and use the other clocks, the hands would probably not seem right. So this is it, other than I might try to clean up the blue one a bit more later. I themed the widget icons for the two black/blue clocks (#1 and #4 in the widgets). I am not doing the other two unless you want me too. So if you guys want me to try something different or try to use the round clock or theme the widget icons more let me know. I don't use this personally so up to you..

Same as always. delete original. Push to system\app and change permissions. Restart if needed. I linked here, as it is a free app, just re-themed. If this is a no no, please just let me know, and I will remove link....

http://db.tt/F6xz4DwF

Edit: As long as we are stuck with that blue clock, I will probably change the hue on it some later, but for now just use this.

PS: SS I had no luck compiling QuickPic :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
That looks great! Thank you. The blue faced one looks good on a very dark or black wallpaper. BTW. Ran a test to compare the sd cards. I thought the old 8gb one was a class 4 but turns out it's only a class 2. A Nandroid backup with the old one 17min 30 seconds. The class 10 (with same data on phone) 9min 5 seconds. Almost twice as fast. Didn't notice any difference transferring files to my pc so I suppose the usb cable is the limiting factor there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Lot of difference
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Thank you very much pjjohn73. Looks awesome.

Thank you DataHawg for the info. Very helpful. I have been thinking about upgrading to class 10 for a while, but wasn't sure if there was much difference. It appears it makes a big difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrispyCritter:
Hey All.

I just thought I'd post the wallpaper I'm currently using on my phone. I think it goes quite well with the Blue theme, and adds a natural feel to it all... I apologize for the size, but I wanted to provide a very high-quality file for everyone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Looks nice, thanks! Adding that to my collection
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Going to find a way to make that blue clock better tonight after I get off work. Maybe make background more midnight blue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I'd say that would be a nice improvement
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I like that wallpaper, Critter. It's pretty slow in here today. I saw John over on the FB27 thread trying to calm the mayhem. Hey John, it sounds like you got it running pretty well. Made a trip to Walgreens today and spotted this. Thought I would share.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Here is a new clock apk. Modified the blue one some

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

I'm sure this isn't the place for this question, but I know most of ya'll in here use dropbox allot, but I just started using it myself last night. if anyone has any tips, tricks, techniques they'd like to share, I'd love to hear them. I would like to help out in here when, where and if I can.

I'm not trying to hijack StrongSteve's thread, but everyone on here seems to be willing to help others. PM's are fine too to keep from clutter. thanks to everyone in here, I've learned allot from folks in here.

Its easier than you think to fill up the 2GB of free space but you can get more free space by signing up with a .edu account if you are a student and also by referring people to sign up I believe. My advice is to create a couple of "shared" folders (probably with some people from this thread) lol...its easy so share larger files or to have a friend upload something for you if you need it. I have a few shared folders with devs and themers that makes it convenient for testing as well.

Edit...update for Quickpic available...unusual to get one this soon after a recent update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Maybe i should get a dropbox lol....but i have my site so i have uber space ={
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Shared folders are nice because technically I could upload a ROM to a shared folder and as soon as it syncs you could grab it. I have an ACS team folder that something like18 of us share! We can all put stuff in or download from it. Dropbox is definitely a must have for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Ahhh thats really nice =O ill look into that later havent been able to do anything on my days off lol.....

Up and comming Arts forum http://little-melon.com/Forum <---SIGN UP NOW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Play around with Dropbox and make some new folders so you can keep stuff organized. The auto upload of your pictures is a nice feature and your pc will sync them so you can delete off your sd card if you want. If you put stuff in the Dropbox folder on your computer, they'll sync to your phone app and you can download them onto your phone with the app. Pretty handy. I tried FB17 for awhile today. I thought my GPS was working good until I went for a drive. Not so much. Back home to beautiful blue.

SS, any luck compiling QuickPic?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
None..

However, the good news is that after the recent update.. the hideous green highlight square is now a more shade of blue. So.. if we want to go in and just blue up the images and such without decompiling.. we can. I hope we have better luck with apktool and such when the new OTA drops.. thats all I can say.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I hope we have better luck too. Are you playing with the Quickpic then to fancy it up a bit, or do you want me to? Is it worth it?

Is this the data tweak you have built in to the ROM already?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523707
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You can see by the post above that the squares are still sorta a teal-ish color but before, they were a hideous solid green color

Feel free to play with it.. I have been doing a little housecleaning with a lot of my old files and images. Also, trying to deodex some of the stuff I want to bring over to the new build when it drops.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Ok I will take a look at the icons and maybe odex it.

Edit: I have odexed a couple files from my phone.. Can I do this from the computer instead?

Edit: Can you try this on your phone. After theming, when I launch the app I get error "Application initialize failed! Please install the app from the Android Market!"

I really appreciate the tips and tricks you guys are giving me. I ran out of thanks, but I'll try to catch back up after replenishing them. Those are things I had no idea dropbox allows us to do with it. Awesome!

You're right, it didn't take long at all to fill up the 2 gig space, but somehow after doing that, it now says 73% of 4GB full. I haven't had a chance to create any folders and such yet, but I'll definitely be doing that. If I figure out the "shared" folder and put some cool stuff in it, you guys will be the first I share with. Again, I really appreciate, and respect everyone's advice in this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
How did you get the additional 2 gb? Think I'm at 3.65
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I don't know how it happened. I installed it and signed up a while back, but never did anything with it but upload 1 pic and 1 file to check it out. the other day All I did was upload my pics and videos. I synced titanium backup and uploaded files that I got from updates on StrongSteve's thread. Then the next time I went to use it, it said I had 4GB available. I did instal an app called downloader for dropbox. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pcmanager:
I use the info from this post a while back and recieve an additional 4.5 gigs from dropbox. I just read through the info and I believe you can still get an additional 3 gig added to your account.

There is a thread in general posted by ImOrtalz, offering an app that gives 3GB extra dropbox storage. I would post the URL, but the XDA app force closes when trying. It is definitely worth the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
See if a quote will work instead...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I can confirm it works from his post in General section. Just follow the OP and sign in from email received to get free 3GB. I was at 95% so it was huge for me!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
The beta Dropbox had up for awhile allowed you to get an extra 5gb of free space by installing the beta apk and turning on the auto upload from camera feature. I posted about it on this thread. The beta is over now but the new one in the market does the same thing but only gives you 3 more gigs free instead of 5. It briefly describes it in the market. That's why your storage went up, blackcanopy. It was the video you auto uploaded from your camera. Shoot more videos and auto upload over WiFi and you can get up to 3gb more. I added 5gb free with the beta by shooting useless videos, auto uploading them, then deleted them from Dropbox. It only works with auto upload. You don't get more free storage if you upload them manually. I did the HTC trick today and I have 11gb free now. The extra 3 from the HTC apk will expire in one year. John promised to pm all of us next year to remind us when we are close to losing our additional 3gb from the HTC hack. NOT. It's an inside joke. Had to be there

I didn't realize the one posted earlier would expire so quickly. At that particular time I didn't have the time to really give it a go. Later on I happened to stumble across the other thread and had a few minutes to burn. Kinda bummed I missed out on the first one you posted..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
They didn't say how long it would last but turned out it was only about 3 weeks. They don't say how long the 3gb free with the market version will last either. No need to bother with that file of phony pictures, just shoot a bunch of videos of the ceiling and let them auto upload, then delete them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Bump because its one of the best Gingerbread ROMs out. If you are hanging back on the ICS leaks and haven't tried this ROM, I highly recommend it..
