Hi Steve, I am thinking about trying this rom out. Would I be able to use the Honeyglow theme on this? Also, I use the inverted apps that rujelus made. I normally move the apks to system/app to install them. Is it different for this rom or does everything work the same way?

I want to give this a shot because I saw you say this rom doesnt get LOS. I would really like to keep my theme though if I could. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Just make sure you do not flash any deodexed themes or mods on this rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Just an FYI, I pushed Blacked out Miui music player and Blackout Dolphin Mini with no problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yes.. you can install deodexed apps. No.. you cannot flash deodexed mods or themes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JLine05:
So if he has a version of the theme labeled "stock" that should work right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
No.. that is not correct.

Many folks on here refer to things as "stock" even tho they are DEODEXED.

I submit that true stock is odexed and should be differentiated. All of the mods and themes you see are deodexed.

What makes this ROM special is that it is odexed with three very important mods that cannot be added directly to an odexed rom. If you are someone that doesnt notice little "speed" differences, then stick to a deodexed rom.

What I shoot for here is odexed perfection that includes mods and themes that others say "deodexed only"

Remember: when someone says stock deodexed, that is an oxymoron :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Another thing..

If you like the idea have having an odexed rom with the nice mods built in but dont care for my theme images, it is easy to swap PNGs.

The resources are located within the apk and can be swapped. You do not have to decompile to do so. Use 7zip or such and swap them straight from the compressed package.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JLine05:
It is really not about the speed, its about the fact that this rom doesnt get LOS. I like the way I have everything set up now, but the loss of service bug is killing me. I cant continue to miss important phone calls.

I guess I could try switching out the image files. Maybe I will ask the themer if he would make his theme compatible with odexed. Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
My recommendation to you is simply to make sure you are using a "pulled" zImage.. PULLED.. is the key word.

If it says LoSt, stock, or source.. that doesn't equate to "pulled" YMMV
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JLine05:
Ok, I actually was looking at the kernel Chris41G uploaded that was labeled pulled and repacked with cwm5 but he states in the thread that there is no root or busybox added. Is there a "pulled" kernel that has root, busybox and cwm5?

Edit: Nevermind, I visited the link he had in that post to another post at acs website and saw how to install SU and busybox on the pulled with cwm. The problem now is that the links are down at the ACS website to download the kernel. Can someone please upload it for me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
Thanks very much for the insight steve... I appreciate it!

That would be fantastic if you wouldn't mind odexing go launcher ex . Thanks for offering to do so.

GoLauncher for Strongsteve odexed roms

GoLauncher for strongsteve odexed roms.. flashable here

Flash, reboot, go to applications and clear defaults for your current launcher and then press home and select.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Bubby's pulled stock with no yellow triangle and original boot image is the one I immediately go back to after flashing. Not one LOS since it came out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grsz06:
Maps good here! No problems at all so far here. Thanks Steve
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Suprcynic:
I uninstalled maps then reinstalled. Took care of it. I really like the rom. Definitely the best I've tried. Only thing id change is the flashing battery/charge indicator when plugged in. I find it distracting for some reason. Great job on the rom though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It looks like my battery is finally going to get a chance to settle in because I can't see a single thing I want to change!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Suprcynic:
Same here. I can't find anything I don't like about it. Excellent work. Beer money coming your way when I get back to my comp.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Some of the subtle changes may go overlooked unless you try it. The online indicator dots and sliders...very nice!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
steve...

just another suggestion if your up for it.

Is there any way to implement the transparent task bar mod from cho's 3d rom ?

i dont know if you remember, if i find a pic ill edit and post it, but it looked so smooth how the wallpaper went all the to the top of the screen and not see a cut off from where the task bar begins.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I think I am gonna go digging through some of Cho's old stuff and see what I can find. Some of images in this rom were ported over from his old themes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
couldnt edit my original post but this is what im talking about....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yes.. I do remember.. I am gonna hit Cho up and see if its the same on this phone..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
If you're using Tapatalk now, exit from any forums to main screen, then Menu key. 'settings' and then (I think) Display Style. Xparent Blue is one of the options...sadly, if you choose it, you'll be forwarded to the Android Market where they'll want you to pay for the Style. You can probably just go directly to the Market and search for 'xparent blue tapatalk' for same result.

I will say that as much as I am a fan of blue for theming, I find blue text actually more difficult to read.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

Help Steve I see green on the Calender widget on the highlighted day and month lol. Also the voice recorder and voice talk app I see more green. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
The theming is sunning on this rom. I did DL the honeycomb go launcher theme to get even more widgets (voice talk) as well as wallpapers. will test throughout the day and get some speeds for you (personally, any quadrant over 4k is more than enough - what matters to me are net speeds)

thanks for the *****en rom, it runs and looks perfect.

keep getting FC's on google maps - the warning, not a full abort
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Suprcynic:

Hey guys, made some blue icons to go with the theme, If you need any just ask.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallblazer124:
Handscent is the way to go. After Steve told me to use Handscent, I tried it and never went back to stock. You can customize just about anything on it. You can have custom alerts for specific contacts. You can have custom skins and backgrounds on specific contacts in the threaded conversation. You even get the option to do a quick reply without actually going into your SMS app so you can continue where you left off when you received a message. It’s great in my opinion. You can customize it blue just like Steve ROM. If I wasn’t so lazy I would have tried to Odex it. I Think I might have to bribe someone name Steve to do it for me and treat him for a beer.

Here is some examples below on how I got it set up.

Latest version causes my phone to get stuck on boot screen. The phone had 12/20 version and it was working fine (I started with 12/16 version and updated each time Steve posted newer version without problem until today). Flashed 12/21 version after clearing cache and dalvik-cache, the phone got stuck on boot screen. I had to use Odin to factory restore the phone to boot, re-root and reinstall CWM. I also tried to flash from stock rooted (EK02+CWM) after running Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT.zip, but same result (tried twice). Each time I had to use Odin to unbrick the phone. I am now back to 12/20 version thanks to Nandroid backup. Is anyone else having problem flashing latest version?

I have a bizarre issue..

EVERY time I try to install the 12-22 part 2 version, my phone soft bricks; it appears to install, but, after a reboot, it just sits at the samsung screen..the phone won't boot, so I have to odin(heimdall actually) back to stock kernel, and start all over again...whats bizarre, is the 12-20 version install perfectly every time, but any version after that will soft brick my phone..

I have updated my modem, I have been using el13 based roms with no problem, but, when I try to install the 12-22 version, either after installing the 12-20 version, or, just by itself, after a total and complete wipe, it soft bricks..

Any idea why this is happening, or is it only me?

thanks guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
SAME thing happened to me a few days ago!! I couldn't even get into recovery. Just odined to stock and started from scratch, thank god it's soooo easy to root this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I wonder if I try installing it from the internal sd, instead of the external sd, if that would make a difference..

I just can't believe that it ONLY happens on that rom, and happens every single time I try to install it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
the flashing issues are caused by eg 13 and ek02 builds. there has to be a base build on the phone first (no Calkulins format) but a MODIFIED FORMAT. if coming from a previous version of steve, than modified format only, than flash over it. steve will have to let us know of the last full version to boot on its own (I think it's 21/10 or 21/18 - but we need links to them). if you cruse the threads you will notice it is happening to all roms right now.

the silver lining is that once you do update, you will not have to re-log into every account you have, nor will you have to titanium. So look at the bright side, if you have steve on a nandroid backup, load it up, MODIFIED FORMAT, than flash last nights----it kicks ASS!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
thanks man, will try that now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Hmmmm, I flased every Strongsteve build in a row with full wipes and I havent had any issues. This is the only rom I use as its been perfect for me every time. I didnt even have any issues with the rotation animation. I always do a full wipe and an advanced data restore. Maybe Steve can elaborate.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Well, tried it your way, and it soft bricked again...

I guess I'll wait to see what steve might recommend

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
hmm.. I can't imagine why one version will flash and boot fine but then the current version doesn't. Have you tried full wipe.. data and all? Maybe bad download?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
I would say for sure a bad download. I flashed mine no issues. I ALWAYS make a back up, format, and do a full wipe of data, cache and dalvik boot up. Let it settle for a few minutes then boot into recovery and advance restore my data that I just backed up. I believe john does the same thing. This has never failedbmebon this phone. And steve, if you want I can mirror your builds for you if you like. Let me know. :)
