WOW!!!!

thanks again

installed this kernel and the phone is MUCH snappier!! it flies now for some reason

so now will just wait some days to see if Los happens

this is a great kernel so far
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xploit:
IM just loving this rom.... not one single LOS for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
I agree nothing here. Just perfect!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pitnefor:
Just got a los running 1.5 after format zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
Got a question for u all. Im downloading this rom now wanna try it out plus I love that new ics theme. I see on the first page about the modem, has everyone flashed that too? If so how ABD when do u flash it? Do u flash it after u flash the Rom? And what does it do exactly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I believe you flash it under "phone" option with odin, and it doesn't matter before or after flashing a rom. To some it has deleted LOS, and to some it made it worst.

Personally I'm on the latest (EG31) and necer had a los since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
Which EG31 rom are u on? Stock? Caulkins isn't eg31 correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I wouldn't flash your modem unless your currently having major issues on the current EG30. It may not hurt anything, and may even help slightly, but if it ain't broke ya know? That's the stance I've taken so far anyways. There's nothing wrong with running this ROM and any kernel on the EG30 modem.

---------- Post added 22nd November 2011 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 21st November 2011 at 11:58 PM ----------

Yes, it is.

To clarify, Calk's 1.5a ROM is based off the new EG31 (EG30 Rev5) ROM. This has nothing to do with the modem. There is also a EG31 modem.bin you can flash, to change your modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
Ya so true, i hear ya! thanks alot!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I'm on Calk"s v1.5a. Yes, Calk"s is EG31 baseband. EG30 rev 5 and EG31 are the same one, just called two different ways.

The only way to change your modem is flashing it through odin. It will always remain the same regardless if you flash roms.

I actually did a odin back to stock using the new tar, so my modem currently is EG31.

Keep in mind that once you change your modem you can't go back, there is not a EG30 available atm, only EG12 and EG31 (EG30 rev 5). Hope that makes sense.

'Too late! Lol

I just got this phone and the first thing i did was install this ROM. I love it. Wicked fast. One question though. Is anyone having issues with the amazon app store on this thing? I can't seem to log in. They tell me its likely a password issue, but its been changed 3 times now. I was just curious to see if anyone had a similar issue or fix for this problem. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
I have not but did on my og epic. I had to call them and reset my account because it showed I had something like 8 phones on it, glitch on their end. Took all of 5 minutes, been trouble free since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] javamaddie:
Did you try to deregister devices in the amazon app store. It is under "Your apps and devices". If I remember correctly, you can only have so many devices registered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I was thinking, "this ROM owns, aside from my bt headset not working right with it." I'm so glad I didn't mention it until now. I just figured out that it was all due to the app - Total Recall call recorder. Once I set it to not record while bt connected, the headset works flawlessly. Still trying to find a flaw with the ROM. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Quick question I tried skimming through thread but using script and permissions to search brought up a lot of stuff and I am at work...lol Can someone look in there system/etc/init.d/ folder and tell me the permissions you have for the 5 or so tweak scripts in there... I am trying to double check something..

Thx

Thank you Calk! My search button doesn't work. I remember Calkulin disabling it on his Evo roms. Love to have the function back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
Thank you Calk! My search button doesn't work. I remember Calkulin disabling it on his Evo roms. Love to have the function back.

+1 to that...Fantastic rom...Not a single issue...Being a newbie I always for the instruction step by step and never have any issue..other who have issues should also post the steps they performed to install...otherwise no one can help them
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoslo:
So far so good :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsmoove386:
1)I got LOS overnight as well. I'm hoping it doesn't happen again. I let it drain and it's charging now phone off.

2)Also Some Games are not working for me anymore. I can get dead space to work

but NOVA 2 and Backstab doesn't work. I use the chainfire 3d app and its worked for me on Starburst and Viper Rom for both Dead space and backstab, didn't need for NOVA 2. However, now only DEAD space works. It's weird that NOVA 2 does not work at all since it doesn't need any plugin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:
My search button works....everything works. No freezes...no reboots. been running for about 12 hours and is flawless so far. Re installed all of my apps with titanium and no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distantneighbor:
Thank you Calkulin for a very nice ROM. Appreciate the work.

For future work, when I try to reboot (power button then reboot) it freezes on the boot animation. Pulled battery, then got stuck on the initial page (one with the triangle on it), pulled battery again and manually went into CWM and cleared cache and dalvik (for the hell of it) then rebooted into system which worked fine. (When I installed this Rom, I manually wiped cache, data, and dalvik twice each then I used his format all zip file then installed this ROM)

Also, is there a way you can give us the ability to change any of those five shortcut icons at bottom of screen to whatever we want. I do not use email too much and would rather have camera there, but will not let me change it as of now.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsmoove386:
You should be able to change it.

Just go to applications then hit menu, edit, customizable grid.

Then you can long press the icons and throw them away or bring icons from

the app launcher and place them on the dock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Anyone else getting a force close with Google music?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Palmetto Dread:
I have question. Since installing your rom (Which runs well) None of my Gameloft games will run nor does Shadowgun. It attempts to open then nothing. I have tried uninstalling the games and re installing but no luck, any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joetrisman:
I remember Myn from the Htc Vogue. Think cal might have been there as well as his SN looks familiar. Good to see familiar faces :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] impactsto:
Same issue here. ROM runs great excluding that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsmoove386:
I just posted this. I'm sure you restored with Titanium backup huh?

I just thought right now if doing a fresh install fixes the problem. Calibrating phone right now so can't try I'll let you know when i do. However, I did get Dead Space to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distantneighbor:
thanks alot, thought I knew how to do it all on android, learn something everyday on these phones. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
So I looked it up, and apparently it has to do with ad blocking, as to why google music isn't working.

So I flashed the zip in the second post to restore ads, and now it wont force close, but it will act like its going to play, then stop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MILH0U5E:
Flashed ROM last night, was running great.

Before going to sleep, I put my phone into airplane. Wake up this morning, turn my phone on, and airplane mode off. Notice it was lagging a bit, but nothing too major (No LOS upon turning off airplane).

Took a picture of the first winter storm here, sent it thru handcent, and then upon receiving replies, phone freezes then goes into a series of reboots. No splash screen, just off, then on to lockscreen, LOS, signal, no touch input, then repeat cycle. Pulled battery, still nothing.

Did not flash any of the other themes or anything. Now I'm fighting to get the phone back to rooted stock w/out the triangle thru Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
Had a similar thing happen after restoring system data from Titanium. Had to boot to recovery, wipe everything and re-flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MikeC84:
Flashed back to starburst, cant stand 5 row app drawer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musikalharmony:
Ive been running the Rom since he's posted and its excellent I've had no los which I had on stock root. No lag. Good battery. I dl the Rom via WiFi on my phone rebooted atleast 3 times... restored all apps np.. for those having problems make sure your flashing his wipe all zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musikalharmony:
You could of easily changed that with a different launcher
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iondokk:
No Doubt... Add MIK-MIK and a little chogard we'll have a party started...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Thank Your Sir.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
Sorry for the newb question but how do you tell if you have the LoS issue? I have crappy signal at work unless I turn on 4G and I'm not sure I ever have experienced the LoS issue or not.

I just rooted / modded my phone yesterday and everything seemed great but today at work I got a little circle with a line through it where my signal usually is. Is this an indication of LoS that Caulkin's rom provides or does stock do that when you get LoS? I did not change the modem after rooting / installing Caulkin's rom. Restarting my phone made the circle with the line through it go away and I show 3-4 bars.

Battery also seems to be draining faster with everything disabled today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
@evolart

Circle with a line through it = LoS, whether you're rooted or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Battery will be finicky for 48-72 hours after flashing a ROM - have to give roms "settling time." The general consensus is that LoS occurs when your phone goes in and out low signal areas - a slow 3g connection may indicate that you are in an area with low service. If issues persist flash the stock kernel (either rogue or chris41g's) with CWM, I was having LoS issues with this ROM until I flashed a stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kline1:
Is there a way to go back to the 4x4 App Drawer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
Thanks for the info. Never got that before rooting / flashing this rom. I will try a stock kernel if it becomes too much of an issue.

Updating to EG31 modem should be the last resort type of thing right? Seems like more people are having issues with it then not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
I used to get Los in high service areas, but if I toggled 4g on and off, or was on 4g for a while and switched back it would happen sometimes. If it helps...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rksand:
I had a weird experience with one of the 5 dock icons today. Every time I tried to launch Go SMS Pro, it launched something else. Different every time. A reboot fixed it.

1.5a installed over FormatAll.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] axiapc:
Same here.. 2 LOS in 2 hours this morning..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigkmoney:
I was getting frequent Los with the kernel the rom came with. I switched to rogues stock 1.1 kernel and so far I haven't had Los. Just a heads up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
This is the first ROM that I've installed and I have to say it's incredible how much better it is than stock. I do miss the vibration when pressing keys, though. Is there a way to enable it? I tried enabling the swype vibration in the settings, but it wouldn't let me. Also, how do I switch out apps on the main dock? I don't use the email app, I use the gmail version I'd like to switch them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Settings - sound - haptic feedback enabled
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
Awesome! Thanks, I missed that option. Is there a way to change up the apps on the main dock, as well? Performing a long press on the app doesn't do anything and I feel as though I've checked the majority of obvious settings and couldn't find anything to change this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yup. You do that in your App drawer. Open the App drawer, hit the menu button and edit (or something like that). Then you can drag icons from your App drawer down to the dock.

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

It's not the ROM guys, it's the fact that the kernel packaged with it was built from Samsung's source code. If you're having LOS issues, flash one of the stock kernels and you'll be back in business.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
Got it. Thanks, I haven't used that option since the first day I got the phone, so completely forgot how to do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
Edit: also 1.5a with included kernel solved my "android os" battery woes- I assume moving to stock kernel won't change that either?

Will flashing a new kernel affect this "settling time"?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
I have a problem here.... I woke up this morning to LOS on my phone. I had a small triangle on the left right and said something about it losing its data connection. I did a reboot but the phone did not regain LOS so then I did a comeplete shut down. I turned the phone on and it got stuck on that screen with the X with a bunch of different colors. I had to turn it off again and this time it booted on right but still no signal or service. I've tried to reboot a few times but I still can't get signal (service).

I'm not sure if its a Rom issue or if it's because of this theme. Love the Rom and the theme but I think I'm gonna have to restore to stock again. This is very weird!!!!! I just got a phone call. Phone works fine but I don't have access to the internet. Phone does not have the 3G icon. What could be wrong with my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
flash one of the stock kernels with CWM. Make sure you grab one of the super user zips to flash in recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Your AOS woes may come back on a stock kernel. There's something about SH's kernel build that cuts down "suspend" and "events/0" processes (often where the AOS bug presents itself) in a HUGE way. While I don't have a AOS problem, I flashed back to a stock kernel last night and already noticed a large increase in those system processes this morning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
sucks. guess i will have to weigh those battery issues vs. the LoS in the SH kernel.

hate to state the blatantly obvious but it really does bother the hell out of me that i am going to lose in some way either way, too bad they don't just fix this garbage
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] a_c_s:
Can anyone tell me if using EG31 and the new kernel should work with version 1.1 of this ROM? I tried earlier today and had trouble getting phone to boot... then I couldn't find an EG30 modem tar, so flashed back EG12... phone booted up, but now I have no push data... only works if I refresh manually... something is definitely off though... I'd like to retry the EG31 if it should theoretically work with v1.1 of the ROM... will eventually upgrade the ROM, but it's time consuming and I can't deal with that today... Thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vulcZ:
I flashed the stock version of the Rogue kernel and I still get great battery life and my LOS issues have gone away. Haven't bothered with overclocking so I'm okay with not being able to.

One thing I have noticed about this phone however, is the fact that being connected to WiFi drains so much battery. If I'm on WiFi I get high "Android System" battery usage and my battery drains very quickly. If I disconnect from it I get stellar battery life and normal Android System usage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
So your phone wouldn't even boot on EG31, but it would on EG12? I'm no software engineer or programmer, but I can't imagine what would cause one to boot and not the other. From what I understand, the modem files aren't THAT different. I'd imagine most that flashed their modem to EG31 are already on v1.5 though, so you may not get much in the way of support. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
I have definitely noticed this too- battery drains much quicker on wi-fi for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
I can confirm that the 100% charge still turns on the screen on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
Not for me? It still vibrates though but I got rid of that with the free app "Battery Charged Silencer".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vulcZ:
Glad I'm not the only one. I'm going to try and play with the settings because this certainly bothers me. Coming from my previous 2 HTC phones, connected to WiFi (and having it NEVER sleep) game me BETTER battery life than when connecting to my mobile network.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
I'm guessing you flashed a mod or theme? Because that overwrote my mod for that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vulcZ:
I just noticed that if I go into my WiFi network list, my device scans for a new network every 2-3 seconds. Haha I'm willing to bet this is what's killing my battery life when I'm connected to WiFi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Should only be doing that while your on that menu screen, doesn't during normal use. Its a feature to keep your list of wifi's updated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
Oh then that makes sense. ICS theme. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
I am on 1.5a flashed the modem and the new Stock 1.1 kernel and battery life is ok. not good but I will wait and see if it stabilizes in a week before I am going to report back on this issue. I went from 100% to 66% in 3:45.00 I can't tell you hoe frustrated I am but I am going to wait patiently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
Agreed- I almost always have access to WiFI, that should be a good thing. It is unacceptable to toggle it on and off as I need to use it. Honestly I would rather have crap battery and leave it on most of the day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
While it is faster and more efficient then cellular data, when you set wifi to never sleep, it should drain harder then cell. With 3G it can sleep and only initiate when needed. But as a whole wifi, wimax, then 3G as far as battery draw in my opinion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
55% battery in 6 1/2 hours. One phone call and 2 texts and a little browsing Pulse News for about 10 minutes. I have nothing set to auto-update / notify other and I have almost everything disabled from starting up with Startup Auditor. Everything is disabled feature wise but I did turn 4G on to run the update of Pulse earlier.

Also just got my 2nd LoS of the day. Going to flash Rogue *Stock* 1.1 kernel tonight.

***I know I still need to let the ROM / Kernel get "settled" but is there a chance that the scripts are not functioning? How can I test?**
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I went over 14 hours and still had 78% left, plugged in this afternoon. It sounds like you have something else digging at your battery as I agree that's excessive
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoobmd:
Just wondering if you guys are trying out Viper's LOS checker?

I seemed to have more LOS with this version and just loaded it to see how it goes.

Also-- Titanium is not restoring my bluetooth pairings correctly. I see the profiles listed but cannot get them to work without unpair and repairing the BT again. What are you guys who flash practically weekly doing about BT pairing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
Have you tried the EG 31 tar?

I was pretty similar to you- losing about 10% per hour. You might want to try that and then go back to Calk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
probably a poor signal, happens to me at work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boxta:
LOS like crazy for me :(

What kernel can I use with this rom? I was rooted awhile ago, and just using stock pulled kernel with no LOS

I flashed 1.5 of this rom couple days back.. LOS at least once a day..

I flashed 1.5a on top yesterday... already have 3 LOS since yesterday

can I flash stock pulled kernel back to this?? i am liking the 5x5 dock.. but it's not worth the LOS

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
need some help here, I don't think I was clear on my previous post. This morning I noticed that the 3G icon was missing and a triangle appeared on the left top side. I assumed I had LOS but now I see that it was not LOS my phone just lost its connection to the server. I can still make and receive calls but anything to do with the internet does not work.

Some suggested I try a Stock kernel which I did but the problem did not go away. I am running Calkulin's v1.5a now with Rogue Stock kernel and nothing but honey theme. I am getting some pop ups saying Registration Failure and another saying Cannot connect to Server. Any suggestions on what I can do to be able to connect to the internet, server?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
That triangle means you are roaming. Check in the settings menu that you have allowed yourself to data roam.

Menu	>settings>wireless and networks> roaming. While in wireless make sure your 3g is allowed too. Same except instead of roaming its mobile networks. Good luck :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yes flash a stock kernel, like chris41g's EG31 repack or Rogue stock.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

You may need to re-provision your phone by doing an activation. The dialer code to do that is around here somewhere along with instructions on how to do it. Look for posts from Just_S .. he's the man when it comes to that kind of info.

Edit - Ahh here you go. Follow the instructions for "hands free activation" ... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18996064&postcount=3977

Gonna go to stock kernel. Got LOS on the kernel that comes with this ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
I think my problem is with the EG31 modem that I added a few days ago. Trying to figure out that hands free activation. Thank you for your help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
Are you saying upgrade to the EG31 modem? Thought that was giving people more LoS issues? 3rd LoS today for me on Calk 1.5a.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I'm stuck with data that does not work because the phone will NOT activate. The dialer codes only worked halfway for my phone. I did ##72786# and it rebooted my phone. However, no message has come up indicating my phone is being activated. This procedure worked fine on the stock rom, what's wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Which kernel are you using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Do you happen to have any system processes frozen (perhaps via the superfreeze script)? I have successfully performed an ota reavtivation on 1.5a with the EG31 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
i had the stock tw launcher frozen but now i did the dialer code and im stuck in a boot loop..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
At this point, I think you should Odin the stock tarball and start over. Just my humble opinion. Things sound bad for you at this point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
Hey Calk? If I don't want the apps you include in data does the firstboot.sh file do anything or can I delete the entire data folder off the root of the zip? For example does it zip align the apps in data or anything? I just dont want those apps included. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
The one that came with 1.5a.
