+1

I just posted the same thing in the other thread and then realized I'm running this ROM. I assume they're just about the same but whatever! I was getting 5+ LOS a day on the last ROM I was running with the latest Lost kernel. This ROM is the best kept secret in here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am glad you guys are not getting the LoS with the rom. I have changed a few things and will post a screen to see if you guys want it this way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Would you guys rather have the pulldown toggle icons like this, bluetooth status bar like this, 3g status bar like this??

Also.. check out this Wimax greatness!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
I honestly like the theme, but I'd take themed **** so long as I get no los. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Heelfan71:
disregard...........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KUHawk:
I had no LoS problems or any other problems with my stock device. This is the ROM that got me off the bench to root and flash. It's working flawlessly...great job, Steve.

Quick question: how/where is the process to change the opacity in the menus with the white background (i.e. when placing a call the menu that asks me if I would like to use Google Voice or not). These are a too transparent for my liking...makes the options a bit difficult to read.

Thanks for your help and your efforts.

I don't use GV so I am not sure which image that is.. can you take a screen shot? Most likely, it would just involve a PNG swap from framework-res
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
That png is identified in the theming with Ninjamorph thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KUHawk:
See attached. Same menu as "add to home screen", for another example.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
The firewall at my work blocks all the images on this site.. gman or one of you guys.. can you identify that PNG for me? If so, I can get a different one in there for him and get him a new framework-res.

I am still having this issue with your ROM StrongSteve. I love your ROM, it gives me best battery I have ever seen any ROM give, but I had to switch back to Starburst because this (above) is still happening.

Anyone out there have any answers?

Sorry I don't have a screen shot, don't know how to make one and as of now I am on Starburst so I don't have this problem right now. I do wanna go back to using this ROM if I could figure this out.

p.s. don't mean to seem like I am yelling in this post, just wanted to show I am not replying to what is quoted, but actually asking strongsteve (or anyone) for help and using the quoted to show my problem. I really appreciate the ROM and wish I could use it, that is why I am asking for help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I dont know, man.. thats really odd.. I would try a system wipe and reflash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Someone on this rom.. please check your 1x/3G. I had to fix mine on my phone but I have been doing a lot of messing around with SystemUI. I need to know if I need to fix it on the public rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
Hey steve when you say to flash latest chris pulled, is that the 1.2.0.0 not the 1.1.0.0? All the guides say the 1.1.0.0 so I am just making sure this is the way to go.

Also, if I did 1.1.0.0 can i just go through odin and redo the same process with 1.2.0.0 without doing anything else? Or does it not matter that I did the 1.1.0.0 and I am good to go this way?

Thanks for your time.

Used Telenav for 4 hours driving yesterday and it was literally dead on the whole time...even when to merge to right or left side for offramps. This ROM is perfect. Still alternating between pulled stock and stockCWM5 when I need to flash something but mainly pulled stock. Is it possiblle to get SPB Shell 3D and ADW EX Odexed please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Sure.. are they paid apps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benherman:
I'm running el26 modem and kernel, no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
You need to do a full and complete wipe. After you flash the new ROM you can do an advanced restore data in can to keep your current data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benherman:
I tried to pull the calendar provider apk and odex file from an earlier build, then replace and reflash to replace the calendar widget. It didn't work so I take it it's not that simple?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Flashed a bit ago. Very nice. No issues other than battery went from like 80% to 96% after flashing, so looking like I need to do a calibration.

Ok Steve at this point I dont see any real advantage to include the golauncher beta it seems its geared toward adding function/stability to tablets. their last update to 2.71 which you are using has everything to date that we can implement on the touch.

StrongSteve excellent ROM.

I found one piece of green ..in the text app one of the smiley's (embarrassed) is the only green one left in there. Awesome ROM. thanks.. I now have two others flashing this ROM now also... They love it too!!!

Steaming video

Thanks... StrongSteve for fixing that issue.. the blotching of streaming video.. I use NetFlix at work and TVFlash.. back on 12/25 ROM it started and now its gone. What ever you did made it go away. I have tried the same movies on 4g and its gone.

WOW.. your ROM is the Most complete and appealing due to da Blue..

thanks keep up the excellent work. I had fallen off the flash-a-holic wagon after I upgraded my EVO 4G... Thanks to your knowledge and hard work on this ROM .. I'm back!!!!:D

I'm loven my phone again..

just leave us old-folks an option to flash the existing calendar when your next upgrade comes out. I love the clear one... just hard to read the numbers. HMMM how bout making the numbers bright shades of blue man that would be awesome.. We could read those on a dark wallpaper for sure..

Keep em coming... :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

That Swype looks great, a themed SwiftKey would be neat. The included theme (blue and purple) is neat but darker blue would be awesome. Every time I try a different KB I always go back to SwiftKey, the predictions work so well for me.

Really enjoying the ROM Strongsteve! Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
If I titanium freeze contacts sync, its ok.... But then upon any reboot, no contact names, which sucks. Didn't start until flashed 28. Maybe once next update is posted I'll try that and see if fix.

Also, auto sync is off. Background data is on only because market doesn't work otherwise
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:

Do you have a GMail account synced as well? If so, how often does it check? I set mine to 1 hour during the day and change it to 4 hours at night
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:

then re-install one by one and find the app doing the drainage.

Swyped from the bluest keyboard ever.

Come on flashaholics.. get your update on...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Loving the new Swype. Having said as much, I do have a 5x5 app drawer but I do NOT have 5 icons on my dock in this latest update. Has something changed and I just didn't notice anyone mention it?

FWIW...I was on 12/28 (pre-5x5 changes) and wiped Cache/Dalvik and updated to 1/3 version.

EDIT: Nevermind...I was just too stupid to try to drag an extra icon into the dock. Everything is working fine now. Thanks for the great ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
Steve...Point me in the right direction for editing some app icons. I tried searching for a guide...but my search skills aren't what they used to be. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Well.. what I do is pull the apks and extract with 7zip

most icons are going to be located in res/drawable-hdpi

I change them in photoshop.. usually just the hue

open archive on the original apk and drop back in

If you want me do any specific one for you, let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
So what is this png opting you are referring to exactly? And might have gotten lost in the crunch, but you mentioned zipalign earlier. I May be mis informed, but I thought that was only used in conjunction with deodex.... are there benefits to zipalign an odex file? And if so, how would I go about doing so for all my personal apps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:
Just flashed this. Looking good Steve. Loving the Swype!

I was asking about editing the icons a while back and John suggested to use Ninjamorph. I've done it changing a couple icons on my NS4G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I use apk manager to zipalign and png opt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Might give it a tryout. I decided to do a full wipe on this update. See if by being selective I don't re-make that weird contacts sync wakelock

edit: Assuming titanium wants to restore apps correctly. Sometimes titanium pisses me off :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
blow, blow, blow the man down..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benherman:
Steve,

Great rom!

I have a few general questions.

What is the best way to strip things out like the sprint stuff before flashing? Extract remove and rezip?

Also when you say push to system/app, do you mean using adb?

I want to change back from the blue Swype. So i want to push one of the old updates to your 1/3.

Thanks again for the great work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Great work, as usual...thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
If you extract the zip, it will have to be re-signed.

I believe you can open archive without extracting and just yank as needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkuehn10:
I yanked out an .apk from /system/app in the .zip file, flashed it, and everything worked okay. I wasn't sure if that would work, but I didn't have any issues installing, and the .apk I removed was obviously not in there after I rebooted.

EDIT: And I did get rid of the .odex as well. Thanks for reminding me, steve. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Just make sure if you yank an apk, that you yank its odex also..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I always add AppWidgetPicker.apk to any ROM I flash. It keeps the Widgets menu streamlined and easier to pick from. Just thought I would mention this and attach the .apk so that anyone that was not aware of it could use it.

I also use SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk to backup/remove/install system .apk's. This is what I use to add AppWidgetPicker.apk if I forget to do so before flashing. It works great. I backup any system .apk before I mess with it. It restores things well with the right permissions.

If you can use these great, if not ignore the post :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
I managed to remove something related to the Task Manager! That's what I get by following someone else's "guide to removable system .apk" Fixed it though. And so far, no weird google services drain yet. I love your work steve, if I wasn't so damn broke I'd toss money at ya :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I don't know how many of you guys remember back when I first posted this rom and it was moved.. and yada yada..

Well, I was looking at Jerdog's warning post about having to create it to post it in development..

This is quoted from that post

" Themes are graphical/visual changes made to a ROM which make's the ROM visually different from the original work, i.e. different battery icons, a

blue-color scheme

, etc. They may be packaged up together with a full ROM and deployed the same way. Simply running a script (not made by you) to deodex and then packaging other people's work/MOD's into one place does not constitute original development "

Why do I get the feeling that I was on his mind when he wrote that :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
I have a question related to this ROM, and two questions about ODEXing in general.

I figured that strongsteve was the person to ask regarding both, since he is THE MAN! ;)

If I want to move Polaris Office so that it lives on my SD card, can I get by with simply moving the apk and odex files? (I'm pretty sure it would be something like "move files to data partion, then use A2SD to move to the SD card".) Or does it have to be De-ODEXed?

Related to that, is there any reason I can't ODEX the programs as I install them (or move them to the SD)? Having all my apps ODEXed would be great, but I'm wondering why my searches for ODEX and SD keep coming up empty. :P

Also, is there a preferred order for ODEX and zip-aligning? I would guess I should ODEX first, but that is simply my guess.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
If you go to settings/applications/manage applications/all and then scroll down to Polaris.. tap it and see if it gives you the option to move to sd card.

With as much internal space as this phone has, I would not recommend moving apps to sdcard or any other partition besides internal data. That is where they can be swapped and accessed the fastest.

As far as odexing, I would only focus odexing things in system/app. These are contantly running or frequently accessed apps needed for overall system activity. Your occasional games, news readers, fodder type of apps are perfectly ok running deodexed from data/app. I hope that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
Unfortunately, the Polaris has all of the options greyed-out. So no moving that way is permitted. :P

As for moving apps to my SD card... I have many apps. (I'm a bit of a hoarder that way.) If the amount free on my internal gets below 250M or so, I get a little twitchy. ;) Since I have 16G on my SD and 11-ish G on the "internal SD", I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw less-often used apps there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I bet it is not an option because it is in system/app

We could always deodex (yikes.. did I really say that?) and move it to data app.. then that option would probably be possible

If you have Titanium backup, it has an option to convert to user app and then I bet you could move it.. just an idea
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
Thanks for the suggestion!

I'll give that a try and see how it works!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Maybe, but really most of the ROMs in my opinion are work/mods pulled in from other people's work except a few tweaks or themes. But then again what do I know.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

StrongSteve, I know you hear this a lot but... I just want to say thanks for the ROM and your work! I appreciate this ROM so much because it is a good ROM and Odexed and it has the MODs and Theme built into it. Oh and its BLUE! LOL. Anyhow it saves having to mess with all the MODs and Themes.

I am sending a donation your way. So far sfub, Calkulin, Overstew, ssconceptz, Crawrj, Chris41g, you are the bread and butter for flashing on my Epic Touch and all deserve thanks and donations. There are many other important devs (and helpful posters) also, but for me theses have been the most helpful. SO THANKS!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Is it possible to add the date to the notification by the clock with some kind of MOD?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I'm sure its possible if we dug around services.jar. really, tho.. just start to pull down the curtain and the date will show.. otherwise you may crowd the status bar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks, yes I know. I just like it showing. Maybe I wjll try to figure it out. Right mow I have a app running that shows it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Not me

Wait a minute.. Lock Screens as in more than one? Did you have a multiple lock screen mod? If so I am sure you would lose that. Although I don't know of a working multiple lock screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uofajac:
No, i just use the regular stock lock screen. It shows up after reboot once and then i can't get it back after that. I'm gonna try and re flash to see if that fixes it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Ive mentioned this before...i don't think steve has found the location of those rings yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Sorry..

Not sure why that would be unless you have an app, that disables or replaces the lockscreen. If not I agree that you should try to reflash. Unless someone else has an idea.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
The No Lock app is baked in i believe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uofajac:
Reflash worked. I had to do a clean install which sucked, but it's worth it. Best ROM out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Make sure you don't have nolock activated. Its baked in.
