Possible to start using md5 checksum to start ruling out bad download issues? as this thread progresses there will be more and more bad downloads. Would save a lot of time too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
Is he downloading it from his phone? That is what happened to me but I ruled it because I downloaded from my phone and kept getting bad downloads. I used my laptop and it worked fine.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
no, I download it to my computer, than transfer it; I've tried full wipes, modified wipes, and everything in between..

I can't imagine that a bad download would brick a phone, but I guess anything is possible.

I'll try downloading it again and see if that helps

EDIT:

Well, not sure if it was a bad download, or, the fact that this time I installed it from my internal SD card, and not the external one, but I flashed the 12-22 part2 version over the 12-20 rom, by just wiping cache and dalvik, and it booted right up!

thanks to everyone for their suggestions
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Whew! :p :p :p :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
not true bro. I flashed this ROM from straight stock ek02 whike using caulkins wipe all mod and my phone is running perfect. Then I flashed the el13 modem. Thanks Strongsteve for the awesome ROM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
wow, this newest version is REALLY blue!

BTW. are you guys using stock kernel, or something else for best battery life?

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The kernel that strongsteve baked in has been super stable and fast. If you want, you can use Tegrak to overclock. The ROM has Chris's repacked EL13 kernel

I am going to be updating again later today.. sorry. Very minor .. just a few things bothering me. Biggest thing is removing toggle option from display settings. I left it in there when I was experimenting with toggles.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I was wondering what that was for...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Plus.. I'm gonna fix that damn green line in the clock widget
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
Please don't kill me for asking...

...I do love the blue. I'm all about blue. I'm going to name my first child 'Little Blue', but...

the recent update that changed the gps/wifi/brightness/4G etc. toggle group from green to blue is very difficult for me to see in bright lighting conditions. Especially since there are some smaller items embedded within (e.g., # seconds to timeout screen)...

...so...I was wondering if you (StrongSteve) could tell me if there's a specific file that I can replace to revert back to the green.

...and in return, I'll actually name my child Little Blue Steve ;)

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Update

I am going to be updating today but I will only be fixing one thing. I will be fixing the toggles option left in the display menu that force closes. I left it in accidentally when I was experimenting with toggles. Here is a flashable update for anyone that is already running 12-21. This will fix that issue and make you current with the update that I will be posting later today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You can replace settings.apk and settings.odex from a previous version. You will also lose all of the blue in the settings menu
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] senji75:
So... if you push and hold down your finger on a blank part of the screen and let go... the "add to screen" pops up... and GAH... green! *blinded!*

TouchWiz Launcher? See.. I dont use that so I miss all that stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:
Can anything be done with the Active applications widget?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Something like this? Strongsteve is busy at the moment but he will get it in upcoming update. If not the next one, the one following that. Edit..if you have Ninjamorph Pro you can change it in 2 minutes. If anyone needs Ninjamorph tips, just let me know

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:
Yup! Thats exactly it John!! I dont have Ninjamorph, but I will go and check it out. That is perfect. Have you made your "applications" button a bit more blue or have left it alone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I haven't changed anything. I just did that real quick to see if it was what you were looking for so strongsteve can add it later but like I said its quick and easy with Ninjamorph. Let me see if you can change it on free version as well...EDIT..free version will work for changing system/app apks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Updating now..

If you dont need that widget, just flash the update posted a few back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killhr:
Even though im no fan of blue but when i try those other roms for days in then come here to compare dam it im starting to like the blue but is ninja morph away for me to have my cake & eat it too??

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
I just flashed the update.zip and it did not take away the notification toggles away. I still have it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
ok.. I gotta check on that..

In the meantime.. extract these and push to system app then reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Here you go....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] senji75:
I see it if I use the feature on go launcher too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
I tried flashing the zip again and it worked. It must have been an error with cwm the first time. Just wanted to let u know. Thanks Steve for everything. Have a good Christmas.

Digital Clock Widget

For you folks that use the TW digital clock widget

Download

Have a very Merry Blue Christmas everyone! THANKS FOR THE FLAWLESS ROM STRONGSTEVE

I have been using it for a few days now with no issues. Was on Blazer 2.3.4 and did a dirty install to your 2.3.6 with modified wipe zip. That left me with all my installed apps and data intact. Not recomending, but it did work for me ymmv. Next update I will do a clean install. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Looks great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Magick72:
I am using the latest rom from strongsteve and I am having problems when my phone sits for an hour or so and it won't wake up. I have to hold power button to shutoff and restart. I am not overclocking at all. Does it when stock voltage or undervolt doesn't matter if it's stock, -25, -50, -75 it, even -100. I did a complete wipe and installed via CWM. I installed all my apps from the market not from titanium backup. Anyone know of anything I can do?

Looks great! Looks really clean. I really like the page indicator dots at the top. Did that come with an icon pack?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Page indicator is actually part of a go launcher theme. (DarkSteel_lite)

Go launcher allows you to use any combinition of themes/icons between the indicator, dock, app drawer etc...

So you don't really need to mess with ninjamorph at all.

What kind of weather widgets are most of you using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I like that a lot!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Next update is going to have different MMS, different Camera, and more theming..

Testing now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It seems like ADW EX sand Go are very similar. I can mix and match themes, docks and icons as well. I also have swipe gestures set to hide status bar when I swipe up and hide dock when I swipe down. Go and ADW are neck and neck as far as I am concerned. I bought several icon packs for ADW EX so I keep rolling with that one

hey there everyone, i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of tutorial to odex apk files (cant really find it) please pm me the links if possible or post them here. btw steve been running your roms for a few weeks now and they've been great best ive found really (atleast that works best for me) speed is great, battery is great, ram is pretty sexy even though i run lots of widgets (i stay around 500-400 with main apps and a fee other things open) and i absolutley love the blue theme to the entire rom. thank you for all your hard work. i also feel like ive written a lot^^^^^^^^^.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:

Nice rom.

Having a problem with wallpaper scrolling :

1) normal wallpapers don't scroll at all.

2) multipicture live wallpaper doesn't transition between screens.

Any ideas for a fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
How is it possible for phone to be idle for 8+ hours with PM notifications, email sync, and network location on and it still has 98% battery?! Amazing!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Battery calibration had a brain fart.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Nope, its legit. I calibrated the battery after flashing it and restoring data from nandroid. Last build it was 92 or 93% after same amount of time. I did use a slightly different calibration method than normal but damn, strongsteve nailed it on this build
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Hmm....he did change out the camera. I will have to check that out myself. You can always pull the camera.apk and camera.odex from build 12/21 or previous and push it to system/app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Mine scrolls.. anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Those comments were pre-camera change. Update and let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eQuanoX:
how exactly did you calibrate the battery? You Wiped the batt stats!?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
I'm using TW launcher.

I installed 12/23 completely fresh with full wipe, it wasn't scrolling.

I installed 12/24 on top with caches wipe, still doesn't scroll.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, my camera seems good but i dont exactly have eagle

eyes or anything but I definitely recommend updating

Usually I just power to full and use Battery Calibration app by Ne'Ma. Well, I still used the app but I charged to full, powered down, charged until it showed full with phone off, booted phone, plugged back in charger and as soon as it hit 100% (took a minute or two) then I calibrated and it seems to have done the trick
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Nabbed, is this your first EL13 ROM? Some of the things,you mentioned may have to do with the changes that were in the EL13 base ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Yes, this is my first EL13 rom.

What are you saying exactly?

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

Also, one more thing.

Mr. Strongsteve, how difficult is it to make the app drawer 5x4 instead of 5x5? The vertical row increase is kind of fugly. It appears to increase the overall row height in the desktop, and some widgets now overlap with the screen position indicator on the bottom (white dots). Also, the icon text in the drawer itself now scrapes the white dots too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I asked because they took some of the functionality that was on EK02 out of EL13.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
What functionality? BTW, I never used anything but EG30 before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
People have been saying that lockscreen wallpapers get stretched, and I remember reading about the wallpaper scrolling as well. Are you using stock Touchwiz launcher? I will check that out myself
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Magick72:
SOD Issues..

I am using the latest rom from strongsteve 12/24 and I am having problems when my phone sits for an hour or so it won't wake up. I have to hold power button to shutoff and restart. I am not overclocking at all. It happens when I am using stock voltages or undervolt, -25, -50, -75 it, even -100. I did a complete wipe and installed via CWM. I installed all my apps from the market not from titanium backup. Anyone know of anything I can do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Its the undervolt. I don't undervolt at all. I would leave the lowest frequency stock. Try not undervolting 200. I have used the last 12 (at least) builds and never a force close,freeze, or reboot. Its rock solid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I will post the old tw launcher later for those that don't like the 5x5

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wait...do I need my SPB Shell 3D launcher odexed now? Or ADW EX? Those are my two choices...lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I do NOT use the LoSt kernel. Only "pulled"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Gotcha...I was getting LOS like crazy until I switched from stock rooted kernel to LOStKernel. Been having some weird issues lately and wanted to try your ROM. I did see you post somewhere that you said something about almost no LOS with your ROM...guess I just assumed you were using LOStKernel :).

Thanks...gonna give your ROM a shot today.

Sturmie
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
IMHO.. the "pulled" kernel is the true LoSless kernel. That in combination of my magical odexing will keep you lossless.. hehe!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Hehe...I'm hoping it does :). I love the ET4G, but as a phone it gets a C- from me...as a media/Internet device, it's an A though and since I watch a lot of video and listen a lot of music on it, I'm willing to work hard at getting the phone piece a better rating.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I always flash the stock packed with CWM kernels
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
Thanks for letting me know. Might have slipped up and left it. Thanks again for all the effort steve!

Also when updates go out for go launcher ex what would be the process I should follow? Should I just ask you to provide a new odexed? They seems to update couple times a month. Not sure how important they will be but last was.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bobbywatts:
I added a data folder to add all my apps. I like to have cooked in, and my GoLauncher is working good... My question is... Is there a difference that I need to know (odexed) about where as a should switch?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
If you have an odexed copy in /system/app and a deodexed copy in /data/app, the one in /data/app will rule out. Whenever an update is done to a system app, you lose benefit of it being odexed and located in /system/app. You can choose to just leave it and run it deodexed from /data/app.. however, I choose to take updates out of /data/app then odex them, then transfer them to /system/app.

Its up to you. I can certainly odex the apk like I did for the new market and go launcher, or you can just use the deodexed version from /data/app, or you can learn the process yourself..

I personally feel things are a lot smoother when odexed and run from /system/app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Just to give you an idea on the process...

download dexopt-wrapper and place it in system/bin

place the apk you want to odex in a folder(app) on sdcard

connect your phone and run an adb shell

code then is:

dexopt-wrapper sdcard/app/?.apk sdcard/app/?.odex

then an odex file is generated

remove classes.dex from the original .apk and you are set.

New Odexed Rom

Depending on interest, I am considering working on a new odexed rom. I would like to know specifically which mods and how themed folks want.

Please don't ask for scripts that save battery, set clock speeds/voltage, or any of that mess. Just mods and how themed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Does anyone have the latest version of Swype from the original Epic 4G? The version that comes with the ET4G has that one word letter bug that's annoying.
