[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qubanaso:
you flashed placebo seperately right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Yes, download Placebo2.0, throw it onto your SD Card, enter Recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install Placebo2.0, reboot. Once you have rebooted you will need a terminal emulator. Once you have downloaded one from the Play Store, open it up and you are going to want to type in

su
shift3

"su" is going to open up your superuser and you must allow it access. "Shift3" is going to put placebo into "Conservative" mode which is what is going to help you with battery. Shift1, Shift2, and Shift4 are all set for "On Demand."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qubanaso:
this is what i got at terminal
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That looks normal. When you shift gears it trys to delete all gears files first. But you get will get an error if they do not exist since you're only running one of them at a time it will generate an error that the other 3 files arent there. Nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
Where do i find the Placebo 2.0 and besides using it on this rom can i use it on a ICS rom?

also what does it do actually does it slow down the phone even more in order to save battery?

TIA

Link in the OP and yes you can use it on a ICS Rom.. Jb rom

The script doesn't slow down the phone at all.. A nice balance

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
thanks didnt notice the link in the OP..

i followed the link but the thread doesnt really explain much what the placebo is for or what it actually does...

long story short it helps with battery life and doesnt slow your phone down. ( right?).. I dont like running my phone at 1ghz when it can run faster.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Long story short you're correct.. But with everything your milage may vary... But the popular "shift3 " runs at 1000-200

Doesn't feel like it but if you want to change it you have gear one and 2 that run higher

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
Ok so i downloaded placebo 2. gonna flash it through CWM but first do a back up and wipe 3x then flash..

oh and shift 3 is good as long as phone runs at those speeds . Dont want it to run at 800...

gonna give this a test ...

So then i can run this placebo2.0 on ics/jb roms then correct?

been running this rom for more than a week and im a flashaholic ( yes i know thats bad and there might be a cure for it but i dont want to get cured..LOL ) gonna try ICS or JB rom just cant find one that has the basics like 3g, strong 4g, wifi , calling, no LOS issues etc..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
A back up is fine.. But no need to wipe anything before flashing the script... You can if you want.. It won't hurt anything(just don't wipe data unless u want to re flash a whole rom lol) .. And correct you can run placebo 2.0 on ICS/ Jelly bean roms :thumbup:

Please, need help / direction!

Purchased my epic 4g yesterday off of craigslist to flash over to Cricket. Rooted and running Calkulins e4gt v2.8.1.

Simple, I just want the stock ROM upgraded to ICS. Root not worried about,but I overlooked the custom ROM when I made the purchase. More worried about the physical cndition of the phone. Also, I have very little experience working with custom rom's.

Problem #1, sd card was wiped, so I have no original backups to restore ROM.

Problem #2, The Power Button does not work at all. Dead, does nothing when the phone is on or off.

Do I have any hope of restoring this phone with a dead power button? Probably not, but that can be fixed. Sorry, should have researched this, but how big of deal is no backups of original ROM?

Thanks for any input, not sure which direction to go? Might scrap the whole phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You can get power button repaired for around $35.00 plus shipping. I posted it here:

There may be other alternatives but this is the easiest probably.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spikenv:
Thanks, what about restoring to original ROM with no backups?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Do this.

I would say you could take it in for repair, but since are using a phone purchased from CL and not Sprint provided... You might be SOL on this latter idea lol!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spikenv:
Sorry, ignore that last post. Been at this all night. Awesome guys, huge help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
another power button solution is to not use it.

first how do you turn it on without a power button? IE what happens if you remove the battery?

as for getting into recovery there are programs that will let you "reboot" into recovery or download mode. you can use those.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Or you can just get a phone that works right :D

I know there's a way to turn the screen back on since I'm root'd by swiping you're hand across the screen. Have any idea? Taking the battery out isn't always convenient.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
tdunham, did you use the UOT kitchen to make the battery and signal mods for this ROM? I was thinking about whipping together a bunch over the next couple weeks.

Just came back to this ROM and I think I'm going to stay here until JB is officially released for our phone. This is the only ROM where everything works the way I want. Plus, I've rediscovered Go Launcher/Locker. There are so many cool themes out there and Go seems to be more smooth now and doesn't kill battery like it used to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jurassic Pork Fried Rice:
I was hoping someone could help me with some network speed problems I'm having that may be specific to the Play Store / Android Market.

I had been getting a bored with my E4GT which was running a stock, but rooted ROM and so I did a full wipe last night and installed this ROM. I did the normal full wipes in CWM and also ran the FORMAT_ALL, then followed the ROM flash with the Bare ROM converter (following the instructions). I am currently in the middle of setting everything back up but have noticed that when downloading apps from the market (file sizes 2 - 6/7 mb) the downloads just crawl. I mean, it's mindnumbingly slow, showing kb in the progress bar. I have updated my profile and PRL a couple of times now, and then began to trouble shoot by using the Speedtest app to test my speeds - which appear normal. Of course my Sprint 3G is pretty slow (around a half mb down) but on 4G and WiFi I was getting 15 to 25 mb down. Then I'd switch right over to the market and try another download and it was slow again.

I flashed the modem file FE22 from the OP (the first modem or radio flash I've ever done on this phone) and tried again. The problems didn't get better. So, as far as I can tell right now, the Speedtest shows my network speeds to be "normal" on 3G, 4G, and WiFi but as soon as I go to download and install an app I'm down to KB/min. It took me about 17 minutes to install Glympse last night. I don't know if the slow speeds turn up anywhere else as I haven't had too much time to use the phone yet but I'd love to hear any insight anyone might have. Thanks!

edit: If anyone has any thoughts, please feel free to share them... but I think I'm gonna sit on this a bit. I've done some research and there are similar reports from people every couple of months or so about this same thing. Apparently, it could just be related to the Play Store itself and just a freak coincidence in the timing of me flashing this ROM. In fact, once you get your phone pretty much set up how often do you find yourself downloading new apps? I don't much, so this could also be happening behind the scenes more often than I/we know and we just don't realize it because it may be specific to the Play Store. So thanks for any input, but I just wanted to share that this is likely completely unrelated to this ROM. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
First off, nice name! lol

I would try clearing cache on your play store. If that doesn't work, I would shoot for clearing the data on the play store as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
No, not really. I'll get with you later. Do you know how to compile?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
I don't, but I'm also a quick learner. I'll be available in about 8 hours after my daughter goes to sleep so maybe we can get together thru PM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think I can make it so you don't need to recompile anything. I have to look at the Calk GB source code to see what's there first. Its been a long time since I've done anything on GB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
Im having an issue on this rom were

on a call i connect the 4g Radio to be able to browse the web at the same time as im in the call everything works for a couple seconds but suddenly the call goes soundless. I can no longer hear the other person and they cant hear me either. Also i cant hang up the call either i have to keep pressing END CALL a couple times and it displays as if im no longer in the call but on the notification bar the phone icon is still on there and i cant place another call i gives me an error of CALL NOT SENT.. Nothing works after that i have to reboot and then i also notice that after it reboots it will drain from 75% battery to 26% battery left...

Rom is Calks 3.0 rom with the phantoms blazer EL29 phone, contacts, mms, apks instead of calks... running on EL29 modem

Anyone have an idea?

Should i reflash and keep Calks phone, contacts, mms apk instead of changing them for phantoms??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Unless something has changed, you can't use data while on a phone call.

If you're using a hybrid of files between 2 different roms, we can't help either because it could be anything. You need to wipe and flash a fresh copy before we can say for sure.

Edit: Data will work over wifi only while on a call I believe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I thought wifi and 4g works on calls just not 3g ??

ALSO for some reason (I have no idea why) but when I clone an S2 OR an S3 to BOOST 3g works WHILE ON A CALL.

I wish I could figure out why and implement that on my sprint phones !!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
Data does work while on call if you turn on WiFi and 4g Radio . It will work since the 4g radio is an additional radio which gives you data..

Im gonna try to see if there's a difference if i turn on the 4g radio before i start the call and start browsing too see if i have the same issue...

I know it is possible to do voice and data at the same time with the 4g radio since i done many times before just want to figure out whats causing the issue on this rom

dont know about the s2 but i know that the s3 should be able to have data and voice on at the same time even if its on boost since it has Sevdo or Svdo unlike the SGS2 does.

I re-flashed calk because I want to use the "Volume keys will wake phone from sleep" functionality because my power button is broken, however this doesn't seem to wake the phone from a "deep sleep". I can use this function 10-20 seconds after my screen goes black, but when it's been 10 minutes or so it doesn't work. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix it? I tried downloading a lockscreen disable app and that didn't help.

Any thoughts?

I just want to say this: Old is gold.

Although this ROM is Gingerbread based, it is the best ROM i have ever used. The main problem was my battery. On ICS, I would lose 8-10% battery PER HOUR. By the end of the day, without even using my phone, I would be in the 5-10% range. Jellybean ROMs were the same or worse.

Now when I am running Calkulin's ROM and JuiceDefender(excellent combo), I long longer have to charge twice and thrice a day. If I don't use my phone full charged phone after 8 hours, I am usually around 95%.

Love live the KING of E4GT ROMS!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
I'll second that, right now I'm on the jellybean Rom that QbKing featured in his video from that other forum and I have to say it is great, have not installed a custom recovery just Rom toolbox pro and deleted the bloatware, did not install all of my downloaded apps, just a few like Pandora, TuneIn radio, Sportacular Xda and a couple others, so it's running on minimal apps and so far so good, good battery life great modem, I'm very satisfied with this Rom. And if I run into any problems it's back to Calks e4gt for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xzaviergomez:
Loving this rom as usual but I have a question.

On long cycling routes, I use runkeeper to track my distance, and I listen to music. Once the battery gets below 85, my music starts to skip or stop completely until I unlock the screen, at which point it will be good for a little while longer. I suspect this is due to the phone suspending at a lower clock speed. What can I do before departure to prevent this from happening? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
Amen. I've been running recalked ics, which is a great ROM. I get a solid day of battery with lots of screen time and talk time, but I may go back to this ROM simply because I miss getting 2 days out of my phone with no worries! ICS is pretty, as is JB, but like you said: old is gold.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
Came back to this ROM for the great battery life, although the recalked ICS build is truly a great ROM. I used to get almost 2 full days out of this ROM when I ran it, that was on the EL29 stock repacked kernel. Now I get wicked android OS drain on that kernel. Anyone able to shed some light on why that might have changed? In the past I used to have crazy battery drain while running the 1.4.1 gunslinger kernel, but now it seems to be giving me the best results. What kernel are you guys running these days? Worth it to try the older custom kernels, like desperado or something? I'm running the 2.9.2 build to be specific, with the 1.2 aggressive tweaks. I mean the ROM runs GREAT so don't think I'm complaining, just messing around trying to figure out what may have changed. Cheers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
I just came back to this rom the either day just for the hell of it and I just keep the same kernel that's included (gunslinger) . I use td's aggressive tweaks and undervolt by -75. But I keep getting random reboots and I'm thinking its because I'm undervolted so much where as on ics I can get away with it.. might try -50 tomorrow if I get another reboot. Had one already today but this is only my second cycle..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
Yeah originally when I switched back I flashed 3.0 with gunslinger and kept the -50 under volt, I was getting random reboots as well as sleep of death. I tried stock under volt and different kernels, nothing fixed it though. 2.9.2 is running smooth now though. Doesn't make sense, as 3.0 with any kernel and any under volt used to run perfectly fine before hand.

Yea... I just started getting em.. probably payback from all this flashing.. but I only have this and recalked final in my SD card. so until I see a bugless cm10/aokp/p.a. build with everything working (or until I get my note) ill be going back and forth...

After trying Jellybean and enjoying it very much (fk23, fl04, & fl16), I'm back to the good, old Calkulin v3.0. :D. I loved fl16 but the battery life, despite being pretty decent, still was no where near the level offered by calkulin. :p. After running the Jellybean roms for the past 25 days, I thought going back to gingerbread would be horrible or unpleasant but it's not surprisingly. With Hololauncher giving me the same launcher experience as Apex and using all my usual apps, it actually feels that calkulin is smoother and faster in some parts. Now, I'm just gonna enjoy the awesome battery life until ota jellybean drops and source is released. :D did anyone else come back to calkulin after trying the jellybean leaks?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] James7Bond007:
I also tried FL16 after running ReCalked ICS for a while. I just switched to this ROM (Calk'ed EL29). I had been getting ok battery life with ReCalked ICS on standby, but any screen-on time seemed to kill the battery. It was even worse with FL16 stock. I'm open to the idea of my battery being bad, but it's not that old (less than a year, extended one I bought during the slickdeals sale a while back). If it still sucks under Calk, I'll get a new battery, but if it's better, I'll be holding out a while for some fine-tuned JB ROMs once Sammy releases the source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryanmv213:
I haven't used Calk's rom in awhile but I was getting super bad battery life on Ruj's Blu Kuban with the last couple of builds and thought it was my battery getting old but then I installed it on my wife's phone and she had the same problem. I came back to this EL29 build that I remember had great battery life compared to all the ICS roms and my battery is back from the dead! What build or combo has proved to have the best battery life? I saw someone recently comment they got over 6 hours of screen time on with their former Calk set up. I thought I remember the 2.8 or something earlier with a certain kernel and modem gave better battery life then the 3.0. Does anyone mind sharing their setup that they stuck with?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpk17:
+1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
I am trying to remember, but I believe that the combo that you are talking about is the EL13 kernel on Calk's 2.8.1 with ? modem. I think that the mythical +battery modem was EG30, but I am not sure. I live in a low signal area and remember the FC24 working well in this area. EL29 was always a pretty good modem too. I hope that this is what you were looking for. Good luck.

Edit: I haven't tried that setup, but I remember it being discussed in relation to crazy battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The key to enlightenment is... :)

Not every setup that works is going to work for you. On GB, you have to experiment with different modem & kernel combinations to find the one that works the best for YOU.
