[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LouRock:
Steve,

Any chance on getting a transparent or semi transparent title bar mod going on this rom? I have not seen any other rom out here in (E4GT forum) with this type mod yet and have been wondering why? This was always a must have mod for me when I had my og evo and evo3d.

Thx..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Ive mentioned this before...

The transparent title bar was an awesome feature, but

I think that mod has something to do with sense.

Rom toolbox pro has the option to do it but it never seems to change it. I Can change almost anything else in the title bar though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I think it is definitely possible if we change the xmls to reference a transparent background. Problem is losing contrast in some cases.

No kaleidoscope of comer here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grsz06:
Not touchwiz, I use Go Launcher
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I don't theme golauncher because it updates too frequently
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Don't really need to theme go anything when they have so many themes to choose from.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jarsong:
Theme..

Can we download just the Theme for this ROM somewhere? We have Two EPIC's one I'm running the ROM and love it, other one I just want to apply Theme to Rooted stock ROM..

Jarsong
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Nope...this is an exclusive themed rom. :)

Mis-Aligned Toggles?

StrongSteve -

I recently jumped from ~12/28 version to the latest. I love the additional toggles, but there seems to be something wonky with the alignment.

For example, I'm accustomed to switching 4G on and off by pulling the notification bar down and hitting the 4G toggle. But in this version, the 4G toggle is halfway off the screen to the right, and can't be accessed without a 'gentle' swipe (I say gentle, because swiping too fast pushes right past the 4G toggle) -- See attached image --

Now for whatever reason, when each of the toggles is 'activated' (blue), the toggle itself seems to get skinnier. So in those rare occasions when Wifi/BT/GPS/Sound are all active at the same time, the 4G toggle is accessible. But that's not usually the case for me (when i'm outside using the mobile network, my wi-fi is usually off).

Any reason for the sizing issue and discrepancy between 'on' and 'off'?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am going to fix that hopefully. I ported it over that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Toggle Allignment

I did some work on the toggle alignment

Download

Push to system/app

reboot

Please tell me if this fixes the alignment issue

I will be home in 30 minutes but I am sure the Odexed Crew will handle checking the fix. Another hour and I am going on a,flashing tear tonight!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Do you guys want download option in the power button?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Thought I mentioned that some time back. Crawrj had his advanced power option mod that he was wanting some icon work done on it and it had the download option.

Just flashed the systemui.apk works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Blitz117:
No!

Sent from the blue"Sammy ET"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Don't need download mode, but also dont see what it would hurt.

Was playing with the black/white theme the other day. Have a bunch of power options that can be changed on the fly in settings for notifications bar, lockscreen, recent apps and etc. Pretty neat. (I think it all comes from the 13 lockscreen Mod)

I know it very wishful, but that mod would be nice

Forgot to include fix for tw scrolling.. re uploading
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am uploading again with the scroll fix..

but for some reason, the hotspot is working fine but the icon is showing up in the taskbar.. is there some setting that I am missing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Just downloaded and flashed the 1-8 update and it seems as though I'm stuck on the Samsung GT-I9100 screen and can't get into recovery. Any ideas peeps? I didnt wipe seeing as how I was coming from the 1-6 update. Wish I would have now lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
If this is the icon your talking about its normal if you are using hotspot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Providing you did a nandroid before you flashed I would try odin mode reload a repacked kernel and see if that will let you back in.

Awesome, thanks Strongsteve
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] us3rm3:
is there an option where you can rearrange the toggle? I do not use bluetooth so I would rather have wifi, 4g, flashlight, and gps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
did you flash 1-8 and hotspot is working good??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
yeppers hotspot ran fine d/ling 8.2 now. Anything specific you need checked?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Sweet!! Thanks for checking.. I must have something wrong on my phone then. Yes.. please check and see if TW wallpaper is scrolling.. Thank you!

Also if all the power options are taking you to the right place..haha thanks. My phone is whacked right now and I have to do some restoring
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Everything is working, all the power options, hotspot, tw wallpaper scrolling. The really only thing different I do is drop the acs kernel in and adw and the aosp email.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Thank you so much!! Very much appreciated!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmrasm:
I had the issue of being stuck at the boot screen with version 1 update without doing a full wipe. Had to odin, now I am downloading 1/8 version 2. Will be doing a full wipe this time. Thanks strongsteve for a great rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lb704:
Anyone using htc_ime jonasl hire 22 keyboard(HTC Compact QWERTY) ? If so I am having problems with samsung's mail program when i use my hotmail account and try and write an email the device freezes. Any know work around or reason why this happens? Otherwise the best keybord for large fingers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Okay well I think I might have borked my first phone. Wow lol. Before I try to have Sprint replace it I wanna see if any of you guys might be able to help me out.

I downloaded the new update this morning on my mac. Flashed this over the 1-6 version (Ive been on the Rom for so long I dont remember) and although sometimes I do wipe while on the same Rom this time I did not. Im running the El26 modem and Kernel (have been since the 1-6 update). Everything went perfect, as usual, and then it hangs at the boot for like and hour. I then proceed to try to boot into recovery and reflash (This time doing a full wipe) but to my surprise this will not work and I continue stuck on the boot screen. After about 45 min my phone goes completely dead (I was low before flashing) and I put it on the charger. I notice the empty battery icon and the circling white status animation. Three hours later its completely dead while sitting on the charger??? Now it just will not turn on and its been on three different chargers for at least 45 min a piece and still wont even show the battery icon anymore. But the blue LED notification light consistently flashes (Weird right).

Should I call it a wrap or is there any hope for me. Ive been flashing for a loooooong time with at least 20 devices and never had this happen to me.

P.S. If your coming to this Rom for the first time dont let this scare you. I should have wiped to be safe (You should always wipe first ask questions last). Steve has an excellent Rom and arguably the best for the E4GT. This is in no part Strongsteves fault. (Just wanted to be clear)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rde34:
You sound like you're fairly knowledgeable but you never can tell what someone's tried. I assume you've tried this already but I'll ask just in case. Have you already tried to enter download mode by simultaneously holding "volume down" button and "power" button until you see the warning screen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Yeah Ive tried that but no success. Thank God I have two phones lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmrasm:
I had the same exact issue. I had to odin to a different rom, then odin cwm, then restore to my previous nandroid of a strongsteve rom, then full wipe, install strongsteve newest version, advanced restore just data, and now I am back in business.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
He just said he couldnt get into download mode, so Odin is not an option.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
This has happened to me a few times already. Take the battery out for a little while, a few minutes maybe. Put battery in. click power and volume down then volume up. Then odin back to stock and reroot. If your phone is turning on and your seeing the boot image i dont think it is bricked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LouRock:
Well said, I actually was about to suggest the same exact thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
If the battery is dead can you charge the battery in a stand alone charger or use a replacement battery before trying again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Ok I got it into ODIN, I think my battery is fried. I replaced my battery with a friends battery out of his GS2 and it instantly came on (Put my battery in his and it wont charge or turn on). My only problem is that im on a mac and have to use Heimdall as my virtual Windows Os will not recognize usb for some reason (Virtualbox). Anyone know how to do this through Heimdall? BTW thank you guys a million times for your help. Your really saving my a**.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
assuming you've tried this:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
LOL...ffkip911 beat me to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmrasm:
Is there any difference between vol down + Power and vol down + home + power? I had identical issue but odin worked for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Dodged a bullet my friends thank you guys sooo much. I was looking for zedomax's tutorial as thats how I originally rooted. But phone is back on and what do you know just like dmrasm & aaron130 battery is working now too. Guess my record stays flawless (Almost lol).

Hey Steve, what was the resolution for wallpapers XD (EL13 bug)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Do you mean to make them look good on the lock screen? If that's what you mean, 1440x800
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
Has anyone else experienced an empty home page? It doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally after rebooting the phone, there will be no icons or widgets on any of the home pages and can't open the app draw (only get spinning icon). Rebooting again usually fixes it.

I think it may have something do to with unlocking as soon as it boots, but haven't nailed down exactly how to reproduce it for sure.

I think I'm on the 1/4 update. Going to update today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brolloks:
I'm on Calk's v 2.7 ROM, can I jump to this ROM without wiping everything?, would like to try this out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am sure that is a NoLock issue. If you do not use the app, you should just delete it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallblazer124:
No. you have to full wipe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Guys.. if you have no lock activated, it will some times do weird things and throw up your lock screen at weird times. Be mindful of that and if you do not activate it or use it, I would recommend deleting it from system app. I only included it for theming purposes and it really can be useful if used correctly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
My Wimax speeds have been blazing!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Weird problem...everything has been fine and then all of sudden, this morning, I get my phone to recognize the USB connection...it will charge off USB, but I get mount it. Tried within the ROM and within recovery...nada. If this a hardware problem now? I hope not...I don't want to have to take it in for service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
No problems here.. I mount often :) sounds like a driver issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
I don't think it's a driver issue...I don't even get the pop-up option on the phone to mount it as a USB drive. Tried two different PCs and two different cables. Seems like the connection to phone has decided to flake out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Have you tried simply rebooting the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Yeah...tried rebooting AND tried rebooting into Recovery and mounting the USB in there...couldn't get the PC to recognize it either way. I'm backing up all my data now and was going to try pulling the battery as a last resort before I do a full wipe and put 1-82 on clean.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
I dont think I ever get a popup option as to what type of conection I want for usb it just connects then if I want to use it as mass storage I pull down notifications and select the usb connect and change it to mass storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
It says "Lock enabled". I've never used it, though I see it could come in handing when using the phone as a camera to quickly bypass the lock screen.

I'll delete the app and see if the issue still occurs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Yeah, that's what I don't get now when I have my USB cable connected...I used to, though. It will, however, show the red light and charge off the USB no problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Ever since the 1/6 and 1/8 update this has been happening to me also. I can charge with the usb but cannot connect to storage on my phone. I get a device not detected popup on my computer. I have tried reinstalling drivers on my computer, rebooting phone and computer, etc.....nothing seems to work. I have been pulling my sd card and using it to transfer files to and from my phone. Nothing seems to work as I am racking my brain on this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Crap.. I hope that is not rom related.. I can not duplicate the issue I have a clean install of my 1-82 and am mounting without issue. I do, however, use an old HTC cable that is twice as thick as the Sammy one.. but I have no problems.

Just to see if it is rom related, try flashing a different rom and see if you still have the problem. Then flash back and see if you still have the problem. The only structural changes I have really made is android.policy jar to add the download option. Everything else has pretty much been cosmetic theme changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
My issue started while I was on 1-3...I was actually going to go to 1-82 and noticed that I couldn't connect my phone as a mass storage anymore. I grabbed the 1-82 zip over the wifi, wiped cache and dalvik cache, and installed it...same thing. Doing a backup now and then I'm going to try a full wipe + install.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

I honestly think mine is a hardware issue since it was working fine on 1-3 until this morning (when I was still on 1-3)...probably something with the USB connector just inside the phone housing. I'll report back after I'm done with my wipe/install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
Regarding the blank homescreen,

I got the exact same thing but I was on stock EL29. Never had it before. I'm back on 26 and it seems ok. Radio has been slow to lock on during boot. Maybe it's Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
Quick random question...

I can't seem to find the "Microbes" wallpaper. I don't see any mention that it has been removed, but it isn't there currently.

Any thoughts or chance of getting a copy of it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
is that an apk that normally resides in system/app? I don't have it either so I am not sure. You can either pull one out of a deodexed rom and push in to system/app deodexed or I can find one later tonight and odex it for this framework. Calk must have not included in the base stock rom.. I guess. I do not remove anything. I just freeze them and I dont seem to have it either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
By the way.. do you guys like the simpler charging animation?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ebuechler3:
Great rom! I just wanted to ask does this rom play well with setcpu? I wanted to try 800/200 on this, and sometimes unclocking provides great battery life, but sometimes i get the opposite effect.... Just wondering
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uofajac:
Yes. Much cleaner.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I, personally, use Tegrak to overclock at 1400. I use my phone at will all day long, downloading, browsing, calling, texting. When I go to bed at night, I have about 40% left and then I charge overnight. IMHO, there is no need to cripple CPU frequency for better battery life but I am sure it would work just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
With this kernel you can only use Tegrak.

Edit: Sorry maybe thats just to overclock....not sure about underclocking....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You actually can use SetCPU to underclock, but not overclock. Tegrak loads a special module to overclock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Yep...I was just editing my post....sorry

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

What voltage are you set to with the 1400 overclock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
at max 1400 frequency, I use the standard 1275 and average between 4000 and 5000 Quad scores.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
So, I've downloaded several different things to try and get one that would function, and I'm not having any luck (neither installing nor pushing to system/app works).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Have you frozen or uninstalled any other apps? Maybe live wallpaper picker? or such? Just a thought..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Sorry Steve, may I ask what you mean by standard 1275?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donnyespo:
Is that with stock kernal or Tegrak kernal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Stock kernel. Tegrak is an app that adds a special module which allows for overclocking. Get it from the market. 1275mV is what the stock frequency 1200 uses on stock roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donnyespo:
Its the Standard (default) voltage setting in Tegrak
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
Well, I've removed the Clock apps (three or four of them, can't remember), KiesAir and KiesWifi, MediaHub, all the SNS* apps and the SocialHub that they supported.

Other than that, everything is intact. None of the things I have removed should impact a LWP, I wouldn't think...

I'm going to install 1-82 tomorrow (like I said, today just has not been a good day), so that will hopefully make a difference. I'm running 1-6 right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Problem solved. My laptop is junk and apparently, my co-workers laptop is junk too. I rebooted my laptop and everything seems fine now. Sorry for the false alarm :).

Contrast is nice to have, but if we use a light blue might still have enough contrast.

Or possibly port over the portion of the tsm mod that allows changing the notification bar, then the user could change to their liking.
