[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SayWhat10:
using which modem?

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

i want to flash thew new modem, and this 2.0 caulkin rom/kernel version (i am currently on 1.5)

which order to proceed so that I will not lose root?(i read installin the EK2 modem will lose root)

*i do have stock E30 modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
You read wrong, and you can flash in any order you want. Personally, I flashed the wipe all zip, then the EK02 modem zip, then the ROM/Kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
Noticed this from 1.5a as well

btw, it's not a browser issue, I think it's a flash issue. It happens within other programs as well (like trying to view videos through pulse or a reader app)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SayWhat10:
oh ok well if there's no chance of losing root then i can easily flash like i usually do

i coulda sworn i read in the orignal EK2 modem thread you'll lose root
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aznnightkidz:
messages does not work just shows black screen about an hour after install and random los disconnect and reconnect. flashing back to 1.5a for now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supdawg:
Any good themes compat with this new ROM? I love the ICS theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] relfrthadale:
Is there anyway for this to be fixed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stepinmyworld:
actually you know because the signal doesnt come back.. it's a grey circle and no data is able to come through.... does it adjust if it sits there? I only thought it comes back after it's rebooted
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] relfrthadale:
So there is no work around
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
i agree. It would probably be fine with vibrant colors though. I might switch it myself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Anyone having issues when you turn off the screen, it will not come back on?. This has happened to me 3 times and I had to do a battery pull. I am running this rom with no other mods.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoobmd:
I have been using LOSchecker which seems to be a nice work around for the LOS issue- I had one reboot for LOS this morning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Had it once, hasn't been an ongoing issue though. If it helps for some feedback...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I think it might be due to the Tegrak overclock ultimate and using the provided undervolt profiles. I went back to stock volt settings and it hasn't happened yet...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wortiz33:
i love this rom..i havent had any problems so far but i just wanted to know is there any way to change the 4 short cut apps on the main home screen? ...oh btw nice work boricua!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
App drawer-->settings-->edit-->switch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wortiz33:
dude!!!!! thank you sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Probably. I'm not using the preset profiles. I set my own profile, with -50 undervolt at each frequency and it's been running great. No boot problems, nada.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leodesol:
Flashed 2.0 Bare, using EG31 after running full whip script tool. Everything seems fine at first. Let it settle in for a few hours, reboot a few times as well, just in case. Created a backup then began to install apps from scratch off of market (no titanium backup, etc.).

Once I install apps, things work fine, but first reboot of phone triggers a endless boot loop. boot animation runs, lock screen comes up, but screen is unresponsive, phone constantly reboots to lock screen from then on.

Only way out is to power cycle into recovery and either restore backup of clean rom, wipe all data (factory reset), or install 2.0 Bare rom from zip again.

Happened multiple times. Have not tried installing apps one at a time and rebooting after each one yet.

Apps I am installing if anyone is curious:

Google Authenticator

Barcode Scanner

Android System Info

Facebook

Touchdown (verified to not trigger reboot loop if installed alone)

Netflix

GoLauncher EX

Mint.com App

Skype

Sense Clock

Tiny Flashlight

Yast Time Tracker

Sense Analog Clock Widget

May try to install apps one at time later, for now restored to rooted stock rom, need phone stable for tonight.

Also, on 1.5A I had the random hot reboot issue.... I actually think these issues may be caused by issues with switching off of twLauncher to LancherPro (included in 1.5a ROM) or GoLauncher EX (downloaded). Will look into this by installing only GoLauncher and seeing if I get boot issue a little later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supdawg:
So far, so good. No LOS since I've been running this ROM. Was getting several per day previously.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
Noob question, havent been around for a lil bit ..

My baseband is EG30

Is it safe to ODIN crawrj's Stock-EG30 then do the CWM process THEN flash this?

I remember reading something last night when i was smashed about EG30's not being able to use the certain new type of modem, forgot which one that was.

EDIT: also, only reason i ask why to ODIN is cause im not on the stock ROM right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I think you have to have the Touchwiz launcher as default launcher picked. That happened to me because I unistalled touchwiz altogether and I got bootloops. So I reinstalled rom and I installed Go launcher back with Touchwiz as default and it worked fine.

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Thanks!! This worked for me :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
Also, just for safe sake -- if i needed to ODIN crawrj's stock EG-30 again to go back to factory stock will this mess anything up?

I know you cant go back to the EG-30 modem if you flashed EK-02 but was wondering if it was any different doing a whole rom+factory reset.

Luckily i have the eg-30 baseband as well so i should be able to flash this after i go back to factory stock from CRAWRjs stock EG-30.tar right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leodesol:
Maybe. The after my first attempt at using 2.0 and getting the boot loops, it started after trying to download LauncherPro and setting it to default in the 2.0 Bare rom.

Second time was after downloading the apps I mentioned above, including GoLauncher EX. However, I rebooted without using GoLauncher at all or setting it as default yet and got the loops. It is possible GoLauncher sets it self as default when it installed? Never used it before, so I am not sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steelersmb:
Why would you want to make Touchwiz the default though with Go Launcher installed? Every time you press the home key it would take you to Touchwiz. Am I missing something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
Something is up with Bluetooth. My new Bose headset worked fine w Starburst, but in pairing it with this ROM I have seen a couple of soft boots (radio restarts without a full reboot).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
You don't have to have touchwiz as your default launcher; you just have to specify ANY default launcher!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I do not know, but everytime I set go launcher as default i get bootloops if i restart.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SayWhat10:
real quick, when u flash the EK2 modem, you can flash it as is? or you have to rename to update.zip or something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
As is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
+1 on this.not a big deal really bit it happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N00dle:
just got stuck in the weirdest boot loop.

I went from 2.0 and wanted to go back to 1.5a. The flash and all went fine untill it boots and gets to the media scanner. As soon as it is done with the scan it gets to where it wants you to unlock the screen then the screen just shuts off and goes back to the media scanner. The capacative buttons stay lit the whole time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
different framework, and other differences, so you need to do a full format wipe if you want to go back...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Sounds like the normal bootloops I've gotten before. You probably need to flash the wipe all ZIP first to downgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Just flash named as is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
+1 on this too! tried it out and im getting CIQ on this rom... anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downtrodn:
Can someone tell me if CIQ is still running? Using 2.0

Thanks

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Chekz:
yesterday i had to wipe all and reflash 3 times because of this exact boot loop. And it was happening when i least expected. I thought it was Beautiful widgets or Widget Locker but i dont know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
I'm having the boot loop, as well. I wish I didn't bother flashing 2.0. I started everything from scratch (used wipe all file) and it still put me through the boot loop.

EDIT: Running the format all file and starting from scratch fixed my reboot issue (first flashing 1.5a ROM, rebooting, power down then going back and flashing the stock kernel, rebooting, power down then going back and flashing ICS theme)

At this point I'm going to hold off on messing with Calk 2.0 until things get sorted out. I did flash the new rogue EK02 stock kernel, but haven't noticed anything different at the moment.

I may go back and flash the stock hosts file, as well so that I can install adfree android.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It looks like it is still running in a few places. Make sure no apps are open when running test.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
When I first ran the App, I got the same score you did (kind of irrelevant as even the app says the score may not be accurate), but then I ran it again a bit later I got a score 200 points lower. The difference was that android.iqd process that shows running. The second time, that process was not listed. However, the logcat area was filled with new information about the system trying to start certain processes related to CIQ that wasn't there the first time around.

I don't know what's going on exactly, but that android.icq seems to be a process that comes and goes. I'd imagine the only person that can shed some light on this is Konane (assuming Calk used his mod, which I'd imagine he did).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] henbone11:
I havent read through all 101 pages, but I noticed in the features that you list ciq service was removed. I just ran Treve's logging checker and it found 2 files associated with ciq: /system/bin/iqmsd and /system/lib/libiq_client.so.

Is it safe to remove these 2 files without disrupting anything else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Try it and let us know! :D

I personally think your phone won't boot, but I'm not the best person to respond to the technical details.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downtrodn:
New score, no running apps.

sent from my Samsung GalaxyS 2!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Exactly as I posted about above. Notice that your android.iqd process is gone. Run it again in a bit and my money says it'll be back. Then gone again later. Dunno what's going on or what it even means ... just my observations so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dozenboy0012:
I am using E31, jus do a full wipe and install this rom it has 31 baked in, Im just wondering if this is darktremor compadiable or any plans on smartass govenor or SBS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downtrodn:
Same here.. been watching it all day. Just wanted to get others opinions on the matter.. lets hope we can lose CIQ soon though... somehow.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dozenboy0012:
Yes in fact i have experienced those same issues as well to a few random hot restarts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] artemis92:
Sorry if this has been asked already.

If I am coming from 1.5a do I need to run the wipe again before flashing this?

Also what advantages do I gain by flashing the new modem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I read that it may be necessary for phone to boot properly but I am definitely keeping my eyes open for more feedback pertaining to the subject. That is the only one I currently have as well. EDIT..apparently its necessary to retain root but its disabled at a deeper level. Thanks Dchibro for digging that up from kOnane's thread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Just wipe cache and flash (no need to wipe data).

There is a thread in general with users reporting what their experience on the EK02 modem, I'm currently on EG31 so I can't test it myself. The gist of it is that it that people running custom kernels are still getting LoS (that's the same issue I'm having). I'm on the kernel that comes with the 2.0 ROM (Stock pulled EK02 with Rogue recovery) and i've had no LoS issues so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
Running ek02 modem. No Los yet since flashing it and this ROM. You don't need to wipe anything. Caulk has a script that wipes what it needs when you flash the update. watch the install in recovery you can see it wipe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N0J:
Any lock screen mods available yet? I can load widget locker again but wanted to check first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nickcash:
for some reason this rom wont download for me...after clicking the download link, it just sits at 0.00 and the eta slowly and gradually starts climbing all the way to like 7 days...ive tried both versions and they both do this. I have no issues downloading other roms....am i the only one having this issue?

Edit: I tried using firefox in place of google chrome and it downloaded fine..?? not really sure why, but i got it to work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasont1325:
I can't even begin to tell you how awesome this battery life is. Over 15 hours and still have 25% battery left. This is Calkulin's E4GT ROM v1.5a with Rogue's E4T 1.1 stock Kernel. I have used the phone a lot today. 4g, Facebook is always on auto sync every 30 min., auto sync enabled for everything. I have uploaded 4 videos to YouTube, played games, WiFi always on. Thank you to the devs who do not have to do this work but do it anyways. your work is much appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] berto55:
If I flash this rom do I also need to flash ek02?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
Nope

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] berto55:

best battery life ive had on any android phone, 26 hours and still 35%! thanks for this rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
how...thats ridiculous, i get maybe 12 hours without playing games or browsing. Just texting for a little and 2 phone calls. Battery drains so quick on v2.0 which is what you are using correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejbmvp:
yea 2.0 (not bare). with the ek02 modem flashed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
Confirmed here as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Screen on time is the key to everything. If you can get 36 hours with 3+ hours of screen on time then that's impressive. I got 24 hours with 5 hours of screen on time and had 10% battery left but that was strictly on Wifi. 4g is another big factor. WiMax just loves to make your battery disappear. I always have it on and the difference between Wifi and 4g battery use is like night and day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryanaathome:
Why did you remove the increasing ring???? Put it back or make some sort of flashable to re-enable it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puch0021:
High Android OS usage

Is anyone else having high Android OS usage again with 2.0?

Previously I was on 1.5A + rogue outlaw kernel + EG30 radio and android OS would never hit the double digits even after 28 hours of use (display was around 60%).

I wiped cache / dalvik x3 prior to flashing 2.0 and the rogue stock kernel + EG30 radio. So far no LOS compared to the outlaw kernel. However, I'm at 22 hours of battery and Android OS is at 22% with display at 22% (2 hours screen time) with 38% battery remaining.

Anyone else notice this? Suggestions?

Outside of this, loving 2.0. Great work Calkulin!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryanaathome:
How???

I have a suckish battery life

I keep WiFi on but set it to turn off when the screen turns off, I have low brightness, and aut memory manager to kill background tasks eating the battery, 3G is used when I turn it on, but usually keep it off...How can I make more of the battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
You have to remember this is his Rom, built how he likes it. And that he chooses to share it. No one is forcing you to flash it. And making demands is definitely not the tact to take in making requests.

.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chumba8:
I personally love the ROM thanks for the hard work I hated that increasing ring thanks for removing it I am on bare bones with launcher pro and getting 4100 quadrants and the best battery live I have ever got I can't thank you enough
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drybonz:
So we do believe that Carrier IQ is currently disabled, for all practical purposes, on this rom?

---------- Post added at 04:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 AM ----------

I hated it too... also glad it is gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Don't do that. Set wifi sleep to never. Also, your memory manager may be doing more harm that good. Finally, your battery life is not that bad. Not great, but not bad. That tells me there's something in your usage pattern causing the delta. Remember also that 2.0 removed undervolting unless you're using Tegrak.

---------- Post added at 02:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 AM ----------

I'm not so sure about CIQ. I don't think it's totally gone personally. Konane posted this tonight ...

This tells me the previous version only works the way it should on EG30.

And ditto on the increasing ringtone. I hated that "feature". Totally lame and unnecessary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edisonalvarez:
Don't you think your approach is a little uncalled for. As posted before this is a free community and the developer has his or her freedoms to add or remove anything they want.

If you ask someone may post a link where you can get your increasing ring back.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
Thanks for the info, I like the increasing ring too. I downloaded 2.0 and was going to install it this morning, but you saved me the effort.

My phone is running fine on Calk's 1.5a, and I'm stuck with EG31 anyway, so I'll just wait for the options for both items to be available.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
android.iqd is actually a process that the system creates for carrier iq service but without the service(which I removed), it's pretty much useless, so I'll look into stopping the process from being created so it doesn't give anymore false alerts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Replacing the current Phone.apk in system/app with one from a rom that has the "increasing" ringtone will fix that.

Haven't tested it myself, but that's how the vibrant worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nbaj2k:
Same here. Just wondering if there is an apk or something we can use to reload it in the meantime.

Caulkin, keep up the great work, love this ROM!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
he probably doesn't need your log cat; AFAIK, NO Theme works with this ROM yet..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
I have been having hot reboots since 1.5. Theme or no theme. Same with 2.0. I just added the theme yesterday (like I said, I used theme porter).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
do you wipe system, then data/cache/dalvik/ flash caulk's wipe all, then flash?

Then, setting a default launcher as the very first thing?

That exact procedure always works for me with this rom and every other one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
If you go back in this post a few days you see me trying to diagnose all of my issues with a few users. I use the format all script. At first, I restored about four or five apps' data using Titanium. Now, I haven't restored data whatsoever. Setting a default launcher is the first thing I do. I use launcherpro as my default (another user with the issue used TW, and another used Golauncher).

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

In the end of the logcat, one of the things that jumped out at me was this E/GPSD

( 2585): RIL Request: ERROR. idx 0 cmd 0x01
E/GPSD ( 2585): RIL Request: Timeout
W/GPSD ( 2585): ril_gps_open: oem_gps_open request failed.

Too bad I have no idea how to diagnose my GPS. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
just for grins, you may want to do all the manual wiping first, then the script; also try go launcher as your default; I switched from LP awhile ago, and Go launcher blows away LP..

Of course its possible that your phone just doesn't like this rom..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zelduy:
if i install ver 2.0 i shouldn't install ek02 modem And it wouldn't automatically update my modem right?

Since EG30 works fine with me..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
NO rom installs a modem by itself
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brushrop03:
I've had no issues with LP on this rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
I used Go Launcher at first. Felt LauncherPro was faster for me. (?) I liked Go Launcher better on my Evo 3d. Plus, I heard that GoLauncher sends you IMEI back to the developers :eek: I don't know if that's true though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G1-evolve:
I am still getting ads with this rom..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
I will try that. The weird thing is... I had this issue on my Evo 3d too:confused: I figured it was just my phone or something. Maybe I have an app that doesn't play nicely with Gingerbread. But, I don't have too many apps and I'm pretty sure almost all of the apps I have are ones that are common...

Also, I am using my old sd card from the Evo ed (16gb Class:10). Should I format it, or ditch the card all together? Would that make a difference?

I will try manually wiping first though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Right on Calk thanks for the explanation. From this, I guess it's safe to say that while there are still traces of CIQ around in the system, it doesn't work, which is the primary objective of course.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
I definitely would format your SD. It shouldn't cause any issues, but when I jumped to the E4GT I did the same thing you did and had some early issues with various things on Stardburst. Formatting the card I used in my EVO and 3D seemed to cure the problems.

You'll probably get a bunch of people saying they didn't do it and everything is fine, but it send you've tried everything else and bottom line properly formatting an SD can only do better, not worse.

Also tried so many different ways, I just can not update to the newest MODEM

Carrier IQ

Hi Guys,

Just a quick FYI. I downloaded Lookout Carrier IQ Detector on my Xoom (non rooted/stock), Nexus One (rooted/Cyanogen 7.1) and E4GT (rooted/Calk's 1.5a/Rogue Stock Kernel 1.1). Both the Xoom and Nexus showed no Carrier IQ detected, but the E4GT shows up as having Carrier IQ. I ran it a few times and made sure I killed all apps (with Task Manager and Advanced Task Killer), but it always shows still having Carrier IQ. I'm not exactly sure what the app looks for to determine that CIQ is present, but I'm wondering if these CIQ detection apps can be giving us false positive results on the CIQ, or if it really is still there? With all that said, still the best ROM I've used so far! Keep up the great work Calk!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Sounds like you are already on EG31 or EG12. If that's the case you'll need to wait for further development.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
See Calk's response on the previous pages.
