[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am going to toss out a few suggestions here. First, random issues like camera force closing or something in settings doing the same is often from a restore of something. On the OG Epic, the lock mod gave me soft reboots and Android OS was often really high (I saw 90%s regularly) but that was a while ago. It is much improved now.

Ok, I am on Calkulin's 2.7 with Chris's EL26 kernel. I am using Banksmi's early version of Minimal Black with the basic scrolling toggles that includes 4g toggle and no CRT. If Banksmi re-releases the version fort EL29 without lockmod and CRT, I will be back on that one. For some reason it went a little nuts when the kernel got changed to Rogue but that shouldn't matter. So my point is the all EL26 setup with Banksmi's black theme w/4g toggle and no CRT hasn't given me one error at all!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Onumis:
Stupid question but what are tars and what do i lose by now installing them?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Yes. It's my daily driver, as well. Not one hiccup. I do like flashing others just for kicks. But, I always fall back to this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beseenwithgreen:
Installed it and will give it a shot :) Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
was this ever figured out? i noticed it happening for me too. weather wont update location unless i am outside. i hit refresh from another location and it just updates my last location. all location things are turned on. not sure whats up never had this problem before. also i just recently flashed back to stock and reinstalled calks newest. very strange
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LuCkyCn:
Back in the OG Evo days. CWM Recovery was known for not compeletly wiping everything when performing the task given. Because of this, I would wipe at least 2x. This includes data, cache, and dalvik. On top of this, I would format them as well. Just to make sure. Once I'm ready to flash, I would flash Calk's format all zip. I know this is a long process... but I just feel more comfortable knowing that I did what I can to prevent errors.

I'm using calk's 2.8 with the kernal included. I'm still using the EL26 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drizkol:
I don't know if this is ROM related, but does anyone know how to turn the display off without locking the phone? I have to have a pin code for corporate email, and I am used to my old EVO where I could hit the power button to turn the display off, but this wouldn't lock my phone. Any suggestions would help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I2izzo:
Im getting the same as you. Mostly android OS usage. I hit 68% 4 hrs 42 mins in. Still noy terrible batt life though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drumrocker:
Switch to an Email app which doesn't enforce the PIN requirement. Enhanced Email is pretty good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] worldlyinquirer:
+1

Same problem over here, I had to do a NAND restore to get it back up and running. I'll try redownloading the ROM and comparing checksums hopefully that will fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brushrop03:
I've definitely taken a hit in battery life in the past couple of versions

Can I flash desperado 1.3 on newest 2.8?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chazglenn3:
I'm running Desperado with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donp2700:
i left it bootlooping for over 10min and it finally booted normally by itself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OpenIntro:
I get this occasionally. I am on 2.6, about to update to 2.8.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
if your using lockscreen mod then go into settings/lockscreen/general and make sure both animations are set to fast.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Just upgraded to 2.8 and everything is working great. Overstew's and ssconceptz's ICS theme looks great on it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chuhsi:
wait... 2.8x is going to remove exchange security policy????? that would be the best mod ever
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ChristianBundy:
Is it possible to untheme this? I tried pushing framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk via adb from stock EL29 but it disabled my notification bar and power-off settings. Anybody have any ideas?

I love the speed of this ROM, I just don't necessarily love the graphics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
what on this rom is themed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Depends on your definition of theme. The icons for the stock toggles wifi, 4g, gps etc are all way different as well as the bottom bar that comes with (he also made it transparent instead of solid). I swear the 4G indicator is different but other status indicators changed if he is seeing anything else I haven't yet.

I dont mind the changes but apparently that guy does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Best battery life so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RichTJ99:
Hi,

I was curious, if I am running 2.8 & try to install Dragon Nuance, it doesnt show the E4GT as a compatible device, if I nandroid back to stock, it works. Any ideas why that is the case?

One other thing, on my Evo4G, when I used dropbox, it would put the data in the SD/Drobox folder. Now it puts it in sd/android/something else/scratch/files/etc

It seems like apps that download are not downloading to the SD card root, but in multiple sub folders.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Rich
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
just flash a different theme.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drybonz:
I upgraded to 2.8 yesterday and this morning got a random reboot. Anyone else with similar issues? I didn't have this prior to 2.8.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
he did not "make the bottom transparent" its a completely different launcher.

go into applications manage find go launcher and "clear data"

now hit HOME a window should pop select program to perform action select twlauncher (the stock launcher) after you hit remember this check box.

there you go back to stock launcher.

yes he did change some of the icons (for me its for the better)

for the guy always booting into recovery I am no expert but a really simply possibility hit me.

is it possible your volume down rocker is "stuck" in the down position? just an idea.

as for reboots. I have been very fortunate in all 3 roms and the stock rom I have never once had an unannounced reboot. not one time (knock on wood)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
Dragon Nuance installed fine on mine running Calkulin's 2.8. Have you changed your LCD density? I read that will keep apps from installing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
I have a weird program popping up on boot that is consuming a lot of power called mobile tracker. Anyone know what that is, should it be there, can it be removed? I have the option to remove it in titanium backup.. Just don't know if that is really a sys app and needs to be there or its bad/not needed. I do randomly get pop ups on my screen saying cant find location.. I don't have gps ect on.. I wonder if its this app. Don't know how it would have been installed if its bad..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] modmandan:
I have the exact opposite issue. No matter what I set my timeout for. It goes off in 30 seconds running 2.8. Anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
It is a Samsung security feature to find your phone, of lost/stolen. You can uninstall it with no problems.

What app are you using in your screenshot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
Thanks I just removed it.

The app is battery widget pro from the market. I like the widget as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ChristianBundy:
Honestly, I just really liked the stock icons and want to go back to using them. I understand that I can flash another theme, but I specifically want stock Gingerbread. I've pulled SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and twframework-res from rooted EL29, but when I push them to Calk's 2.8 it makes my statusbar disappear. Where can I get a hold of the unthemed SystemUI and framework files compatible with Calk's 2.8?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
As posted earlier, dragon issue is probably a density setting.

As far as Dropbox, that is a "feature"of the latest release. It is really a horrible mistake by the DB devs, but that's what you have for now.

If you use the search bar to find Dropbox here in the E4GT forums, you can find a thread I started with a beta version released prior to the update. The second of the attached apk's had the new UI with the better (old) functionality.

Or you can just restore the last release version if you have a backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
If you want to go back to truly stock icons, I would suggest the UOT Kitchen. You can change just about anything visual to your liking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
I usually use the download all files app after anything is downloaded from dropbox anyway. from there you can pick where you want to download it too.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
What happened to the car dock apps? I just received my Samsung car dock and when I plug it in it recognizes that it's in dock mode, but the app the comes up with stock touchwiz doesn't show up.

Does anyone know the name of the specific apps that I need to reinstall to get that back and which folder it's located in, if it's stored in the ROM itself?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
It is called VoiceToGo, but you can find the original (and more updated!) version on the market, it's called Vlingo ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vlingo.client&hl=en ). Works better than the stock one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sqb33:
+1 much better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
I don't know how this ROM can get any better. Other than maybe fixing the issue with the rotation and the CRT screen off animations and putting that back in and possibly a kernel that can be overclocked but I'm really reaching here. Battery life is staggeringly efficient compared to stock. Props to Calkulin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Guys, I need help. Is there any possible way to get rid of CRT on a theme that has AIO Mod like Minimal Black? I don't want to be showing people my phone at CES and have it go inverted!!! TIA of a hopefully rapid response
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Check out Team Rogue's Desperado. Overclock away!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
Can the version in the market be activated by pushing the button on a Bluetooth headset?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
Yeah no doubt I was just thinking along the lines of an all inclusive ROM. No complaints here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BDR456:
I responded to your post In the theme section. Download spare parts from the market and set window animations to fast, CRT will be off!

Got me 1st LOS in like a month or more.Went into Walmart which i lose signal anyway in there and came out with the circle and had to reboot the phone so it was a true los.I have the newest stuff v2.8 EL29 modem etc.

Owell i can take 1 of them i guess but not sure why i got 1!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
Sweet! Vlingo definitely seems great. I'll try it when I drive again. Does Vlingo automatically start up when the car is in dock mode, or do I have to to start it up manually?

EDIT: Just tried it out, it doesn't start up automatically. Is there a way to have it autostart when in dock mode? I didn't find anything about auto-launching in the vlingo settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
You could try flashing Crawrj's no crt zip from the AIO mod OP. It worked for me with Team Venoms ICS theme. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see CRT die a quick, untimely death never to be seen on this phone again. I flash the no crt zip and the green battery with % is back. I then flash the no battery % zip again and crt is back. Can we get our a shovel and bury it for good, please? Have fun in Vegas, John. I'm jealous.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
Get Tasker. You can set it up to autostart the app. Great automation app!

battery life

Hey guys, I was on Senzation (Based of Calks), had horrible battery life, so I did full format, then flashed Calks 2.8 regular rom, did battery calibration etc,. But I can still only manage to get 6-8 hours from 100% till it hits 0%

This is driving me nuts, I have no idea whats up. Any ideas? Using bare rom, on EL29 modem+EL29 kernel stock. Display on time is only about 2.5 hours, total time about 7~ hours, then dead lol.

No background apps, changed wallpaper to black, using just ADW Ex, mClock, and Dolphin HD Browser.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
That app costs $6.50, it's a waste for me to buy that just to auto-launch 1 app. I just put vlingo on my home screen.

Another question, in the youtube link below, you can see that the user with a T-Mobile GS2 has his phone automatically go into landscape mode when the phone is plugged into the dock. How come my phone doesn't do that? Does it have to do with an app that was removed from Calk ROM or just a feature that was left out of the E4GT?

Link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=x8XNr7A91j0#t=218s

EDIT: Ok, I think it's because of TW launcher. I tried out GO launcher and it properly went into landscape mode. But I don't like the dock icons for GO Launcher... I'm going to see if I can find an ICS theme for GO Launcher and use that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
My battery life is not THAT bad unless I use the device heavily (I use it moderately, mostly text, internet, and music). But it's nowhere near what everyone with this phone is bragging about (20+ hours). I can get maybe 10-12 hours TOPS. Nothing is wakelocking the damn thing. I've never had a day where I've had good battery life with this phone compared to what I should be getting. I think the most I've gotten was 15 hours and that's with very little use. Tried every trick in the book. Been through an Evo 4G, Evo 3D (still have), Nexus S 4G, and now Epic 4G Touch. This phone has had the biggest [stock] battery out of them all and still performs the same or worse in that area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neilkarunatilaka:
Yeah I hear you. The thing is I used to hit like you, around 10-15, usually getting about 13 hours daily. Which is plenty fine for me. But after I went to EL29 / new version of ROMs is when I noticed my specific battery issue where I'm consistantly only getting 6-8 hours if that, even after doing full formats and reflashing the roms / doing battery calibration. I have no idea whats up lol. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
The spare parts workaround fixed the upside down frozen screen issue on my phone, but it didn't turn off crt. It still does its thing when I turn the screen off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am also seeing that battery life has been worse with these new leaks...

Calk, any chance of going back to an older version of your Rom and adding in all the tweaks of this Rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
+1, yea that would be great. I too have been getting increased battery drain on the EL series of leaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Live2Follow:
Are you on wifi a lot? My wifi kills all things battery. Even when connected, even when sleeping. Only off do I get 12+ hours.

Also I doubt the ROM has so much to do with affecting the battery life, as it is the modem you have flashed. I think Desperato is EK02 based as well. Sooo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I2izzo:
I was having the same problem with an EL26 modem on calks 2.8... I flashed calks 2.7 rom (not bare) thats based off el26 build and rocked el26 modem..been running 4 hrs with moderate use and its gone down 20%.. Best battery life ive gotten on the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
Im kind of thinking the same thing sometimes, im sure its a pain but maybe we can keep an ek02 official release build up to date along side any leaked builds. i dont want to lose any of the new features but think i might like to be on the official build with the desperado kernel. either way thanks Calk for all your work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I tried that and CRT still there. Can anyone link the zip from crawrj please???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ianatch:
will this ROM run on EK2? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RichTJ99:
I got my first LOS ever yesterday myself, this was after flashing EL29 & v2.8 also. I was surprised I lost service in a fringe area, then I turned on roam control & set it for roaming. That didnt help, so I turned it back to auto, then I rebooted & service came back (still fringe though).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] urcboss07:
Calk Rom is fast and smooth, but there is one issue with every version of Calk rom, when I swift between Wifi and 4G/3G, it always says Network error or server error. Does anyone have any idea? But, it locks on wifi or 4g fine, just bother me with that message every time I swift from wifi to 4G or vice versa.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
I've never seen that once and I switch 4G/WiFi quite often :O
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
EL29 gave me worse battery life than EL26, which I've been back on, but the other thing is that EL29 started giving me the bug where messages would say they weren't sent but the recipient would get them 2-3 times in a row.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neilkarunatilaka:
Never ran into that problem. For me EL29 modem+kernel runs fine besides this battery drain. I will try EL26 modem, see how that plays for a day.. think I should keep EL29 kernel or flash EL26 kernel also?

Interesting to see it wasn't just me that noticed the reduced battery life, just is it EL rom build issue or EL modem/kernel issue? Probably the latter I'm thinking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
EL29 modem drained my batt faster. I'm currently running Calk's 2.0.1a (EK02 based) with EL26 modem and getting pretty good battery life. Today, for example, I'm at 50% right now with 1.5 hrs of voice calls and 1.5 hrs of screen on time plus some web browsing, Twitter, etc. I'm also running SetCPU at on demand with no OC and screen off of 500/200 max/min/conservative. Pretty happy with the setup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
2.8 bare running all EL29 is great for me!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Yeah, I'm experimenting as well...I'm still on EL29 rom, but I flashed EG31 modem and using desperado EK02 kernel. We'll see how it goes..

Forgot to mention that I'm on Desperado as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
You can change this in the sound menu in settings. I believe it is under volume in there, there is a check box.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BDR456:
Sprint hotspot doesn't seem to be working for me. Just says error.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crimsonred36:
I'm not sure which is causing the trouble, but the 2.8 ROM with EL29 was draining my battery like crazy. After 5 hours of sleep (Wifi on all the time), it dropped to about 94%, but then when I started texting, light browsing (facebook, gmail, no browser usage), whatsapp, playing flick soccer for about 10 minutes, it dropped to 30% within a few hours. When I was on 2.7 with EK02, the same schedule would get me to about 70-75% after all that. Anyway, I went to EL26 to see how that is. Lets hope it gives me better battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Keep us posted bro, I've been thinking about switching modems as well. EL13 gave me great bat life.

Sent from my Modified with AWESOMENESS Epic4G Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
EL29 does that. It also would cause texts not to send sometimes. Going back to EL26 fixed that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Ha you misunderstood entirely. I know what launcher I am on and how to change it. Was using Go ex before i went to custom rom.

I was talking about the top menu the toggles are on, tried to separate the transparent comment with ( ) as it was same sentence part of separate subject. The bottom bar is different from stock and the back of the whole thing is transparent.

Was describing changes to him that last i checked aren't part of the launcher. Double checked and yeah same deal on any launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
me too, oc to 1.7 kinda stable, messes up when you benchmark alot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifanus:
EL26 modem works a lot better for me, GPS instant fix, and network seems to be stable. Battery life was tested true to be excellent on EL26 with stock rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdmtsx:
Yeah that's what I did but each time I moved one independently the other moved. Hmm...guess i'll just try and reflash rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryanh85:
Looking forward to the update, a feature I miss from UnNamed rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
You need to un-check the one that says to use the same setting for both. No need to re-flash your Rom, you just need to un-check that option which is set to do that by default.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
Kernel voltages reset when you flash a different kernel, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
Yes, that's what I use. If you do not have any default application already set up for it, it will ask you the first time you hit your "bluetooth device's button".

....

Can't wait for the 2.8.x version!

I guess my pattern lock screen must be messing with the volume rockers being able to control song tracks?Mine controls the volume when screen is off but,not the songs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iahk:
Just to make sure, you are holding the volume button to change tracks rather than tapping them, yes?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crunchybutternut:
Downloads app is non-existent... I did use the Bare version of the ROM.. maybe that is why.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
Hey Crunchy, I loved your ROMs on the Hero. Any chance of a ROM on the E4GT?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crunchybutternut:
Haha, thanks! I've been a little out of the dev community since I upgraded to the Evo, due to lack of time.

At this point, I have no drive to work on a ROM for the E4GT..

but with that said, Once the kernel for ICS is available, I might jump back into it.

Also depends on how much activity there is, I don't want to "muddy the waters" with just another ROM if there is not a need for it.

I was working on a custom theme for myself, but never finished it up. Might be releasing that in the future.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BDR456:
Yea, the AIO mod for ACS ICS 2.2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
This.

edit: OK, working again now...odd.
