My setup is Calks 2.0 the way it comes. I do use my phone a good amount but whenever I make calls I turn my screen off immediately. I also keep my brightness very low. I would say on this particular charge this was average use for me.

Now that was a very aggressive day and a half for me. About 6 hours of talk time and 200ish texts. Light use of the web and some soundhound checks. I think the key for me is keeping the screen off as much as possible.

Also I have done the battery trick where you charge to 100% with the phone off. Disconnect the phone and pull the battery immediately. Wait 2 minutes then turn back on and charge again to 100%. I have done this about 3 times now and it seems to have helped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Screen on time is the key. The screen uses the most battery. Usually, even 1 hour of screen on time will put it at the top of the list for battery use
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
I cannot seem to effectively flash this ROM without my phone locking up so it won't turn on after boot. I don't get it.

I'm on EK02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Maybe your phone isn't liking the undervolt. On my OG Epic, I could overclock the hell out of it but I couldn't touch undervolt. That's only a possibility.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brushrop03:
Indeed. It's usually 1st or 2nd for me in terms of use. That's just b/c I like to turn on my phone and look at the screen saver :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Is undervolt set by default because I can flash just fine. As soon as it boots and the screen shuts off it won't come back up at all.

What should or could I do? Thank you so much for your help. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well, from reading the OP it looks like you add the undervolt on 2.0.1. Are you trying latest build or a previous version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Latest which is v2.0.1a, but the same thing happens to any 2.3.6 I flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Have you tried going the route of an Odin flash to full stock then accepting the OTA update to 2.3.6, re-root, flash kernel, then flash this ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Have you tried a MD5 Checksum of the files you are downloading and verified them to the original MD5 (OP usually puts it in there)???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
How do I accept the OTA update of 2.3.6? Did Sprint push it out so I can get it?

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

I don't know what that means or how to do that.

Look at the OP and you will notice a MD5 followed by random numbers and letters.. make sure your file matches that number...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madocs:
OK, here's the journey:

1. used sfhub's back to stock

2. After allowing everything time to settle down, I turned GPS on and popped into the accuweather on first screen and tried to use my location. Was unable to obtain location.

3. Cleared GPS (##GPSCLRX# from dialer, entered my MSL). Hit OK to clear, but it did not reboot. I recall a reboot for this code on my EVO, but I let it sit for 10 min then rebooted manually.

4. Went to GMaps after reboot (GPS on only, no network location) and got the standard "current location is temporarily unavailable" message.

5. I said I'd sterilize, so I went ahead and cleared VRAM/Sprint login info (##72786# dialer, enter MSL, activation process. Reboot.

6. After reboot, still stock - let her sit for 5-10 mins. Got a notification for update (which is the EK02 2.3.6 official update). DLed and installed. Reboot, let it sit for 5min.

7. Back to maps, hit the location button - waited - after about 60 secs, I was found, accuracy was within 100 meters. Exit maps, back in, was located within 40 meters.

8. Exit maps - turned on sensor aiding, but left wireless network location OFF. Back to maps, "current location is temporarily unavailable", waited and hit it again- "current location is temporarily unavailable".

9. Exit maps, turned sensor aiding off, back to maps. Location found in about 20 secs, within 20 meters. Not too bad - no f'in idea why sensor aiding seemed to screw stuff up for a second.

10. Home screen, weather widget, use loc - worked fine, found me right away.

So - things seem better as to GPS at this point, but still pretty flaky and not ideal. Going to maps, I often get "current location is temporarily unavailable" for 20-45 secs, then get a 20 meter accuracy.

I'm going to charge up for a bit, let it simmer, then get to rootin' using sfhub autoroot. I'll perform a backup, then get calk's up and running again. If still flaky, I'll give the drivers a shot.

We'll see - hopefully this helps. Most folks seem to either have no issue or just do not use GPS much. Could be the device, which I'll reset back to stock and take in if none of this works out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easybucketz:
Hey dude do can you pm me the link for that battery trick I've never heard of that one but it looks like it works and I want to try it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] internetaffairs:
I'm confused.

If I have 1.5a, what do I have to do to upgrade to 2.0.1a?

Do I have to erase EVERYTHING on my phone?

or only cache and davlik cache?

Will running calulkin's FORMAT suffice?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drumrocker:
Yes, default install is undervolted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dpjones:
Needing some guidance....

I thought if we downloaded a ROM like this, it replaced everything....so I'm confused about downloading the Sprint OTA. Doesn't installing this ROM wipe out/Replace what the OTA update from Spint would do?

Also, I'm not clear about whether this ROM has everything in it (Kernel and Modem), or do I have to install those too? It mentions a Rogue Kernel so that makes me think it has at least the desired kernel. If I need to install the modem....do I run the 30 to k02 download I saw? If so, does it matter if it is before or after the ROM install? If we do the Sprint OTA, does that give us the new modem so we don't need to run the 30 to k02 conversion install?

I also saw a flashable version of the Sprint OTA....that may be easier but I don't know.

Sorry for all the questions.....I'm just a little confused and am afraid I will get something out of sync

Thanks in advance for any help!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brushrop03:
Ok you're all over the place with this one :P

This ROM is based on the Sprint OTA w/tweaks. If you don't already have Caulkin on your phone then, yes, it will erase everything you have.

If you're phone is stock then flashing the Sprint OTA shouldn't overwrite anything (someone correct me if i'm wrong on this)

As far as modems are concerned, this Rom doesn't have it included. Separate flash. I'm assuming you're running stock modem that came with the phone. If so then just flash EK02 since you're on EG30 (check in About Phone section of settings).

Kernel. Flash whatever you want. If you use this Rom and want undervolting tweaks you need a Kernel with init.d support.

****Before anything though you need to Root!****
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dpjones:
My phone has been put back to stock......does this ROM include the OTA update so I don't need to do it if I'm going to use this ROM? I ask because one of the posts mentioned going back to stock....doing the OTA....then putting this ROM on....is there really a need to do all of that?

I'm guessing this ROM does include a modified Kernel which replaces the one I currently have....... so if I don't want to do the undervolting tweaks....is there a reason to modify the kernel?

**Mispost**
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimlivingston:
That was exactly my problem. Not sure how I grabbed the wrong one, but that was indeed my problem. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
You're getting things confused. The OTA has 3 parts:

1. Modem

2. Kernel

3. Rom update

The part you read about going back to OTA, etc. was regarding 1. the modem. That is a separate flash and information regarding that can be found in another thread.

Parts 2 and 3 are addressed with this Rom. It contains the upgraded kernel and updated Rom with some tweaks. When you flash the Rom it will upgrade both. It will not, again, do anything with 1. Modem.

Any questions regarding the modem should be in the threads regarding them as this thread has nothing to do with them.

.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dpjones:
Thank You! I will not worry about the OTA......I'm downloading the ROM now and have already downloaded the FORMAT_ALL and E4GT_Modem_EG30_to_EK02

Thanks again!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xb0n3z:
I just want to give a shout to Calkulin as this ROM is absolutely great... Saves battery and runs smooth!

I've had it on battery for 9 hours today and i'm still at 65% that's great! Been texting, market, email and using the phone too.

I dont know what they are paying now-a-days at samsung but they should definately hire Calkulin in the ROM development department!

Thanks again,

Proud to be an X-Iphone 3G POS user and a new S GS2ET user!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasrich:
I'm on 2.3.6. But still on the E30 modem.. Running great.. Is there any reason to change?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
Try it out. You can flash back now. It made my data speeds way faster and no Los since. And I'm using the desperado kernel. Flawless so far!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
not at all, all phones react differently to their own environment and if it works for you, don't move.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I will combine the previous two answers. You can try it out and see if it improves performance for you since you can easily go back. People are reporting mixed results. Some have increased signal and data speeds with no LOS and others have had worse battery and more LOS. If you aren't having any issues, its up to you if you want to leave good enough alone or experiment and try it out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stepinmyworld:
can someone confirm that they've been experiencing lack of notifications on apps when flashing this tweaked rom? I noticed when I'm on stock EK02 rom, my notifications for Google plus, facebook and voxer actually works. When I'm on this rom, because I think its set to sleep or hardly run when the screen is off, it probably triggers the phone to not notify you on certain things because when I turn my screen on, notifications pop up. Get me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Getting LOS like crazy inside places I normally shouldn't.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ky0nkyon:
Could not go through every page but went through thirty pages and realized 2.1 case out for a while. I've yet to learn how to search from my phone app. Can someone quickly tell me if it's necessary to format everything when updating from 1.5 to the newest one? I saw multiple answers and was wondering if there is a definitive answer. Thank you for your help in advance.

Changing bottom row default apps?

Ok, I give up - been looking for the past hour for way to change the apps on the very bottom row of the screen. Somewhat pertinent here since Calkulin's bottom row is a bit different than stock - can anyone point me to a resource to get these customized? Much appreciated.

Is there a reason that my WIFI shuts off after the phone has been sleeping for a while? I live in a fringe signal area and when wifi is on, my phone's battery lasts a LOT longer. With WIFI on, I could go all night on 1.5a with the stock kernel and lose maybe 5-10%. It's more like 30 now as wifi shuts down... Is there a setting I can change?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Did you change the sleep policy to sleep never?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1lazysheep:
how did you get such a high score? my score was only 3827. i'm on the same ROM and kernel and my battery level was 87%

this crazy I love this ROM.2.0.1a with desperado Kernel.

what cant you get to boot? the rom or desperado kernel on your ET4G???:confused:

This is just good old rom and desperado nothing more or less
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1lazysheep:
i still don't understand the wide margin in scores with the same ROM/kernel. :confused: did you run the full test?

oh well, the phone's still pretty fast
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
try it with antutu benchmark.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1lazysheep:
total score: 6051 with AnTuTu

how does that compare with quadrant?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
i dont use quadrant much i think antutu test a bit better in my opinoin:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachspda:
The rom does not boot. Freezes on the animated boot screen then goes black.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
what rom are you coming from??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachspda:
I was using the previous version but had issues with it constantly rebooting, so I tried the latest rom. I dont really like the other custom roms as I am not into themes but I like what he has done here just cant keep it going well and definitely have to go to the stock undervolting with the previous version and its kernal. Before the first time running this I had stock as I just got the phone last weekend
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
hmmm so right now can you boot into recovery with the phone off?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachspda:
yes going to put unnamed on once it finishes uploading... i can run the blue rom it works just dont like the blue lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
have you tried flashing this rom with different kernel in same flashing process??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachspda:
yeah ive tried just the rom then the 1.3 kernal after the rom booted ... It will work for a while without the 1.3 kernal but eventually I will get constant reboots
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
what all have you flashed? is your phone running eko2 all the way(rom,kernel,modem) or partial mix and match of those?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
There could be something to this. On the OG Epic, you could mix and match kernels, modems, and ROMs but I am seeing much better results on an all EK02 setup than I did with EK modem and kernel on EG30 ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachspda:
have ek02 rom and kernal ... thinking i may have left off the modem just realized its not included with the rom ... feel like a rookie ugg new to samsung have been using HTC since 6700

---------- Post added at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------

Just to make sure can you flash them all at one sessions or should i reboot after each one rom , kernal , modem. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
yeah that's what i was thinking john myself it seems more people have been getting better results with consistent all 3 then mixing and matching from my readings

@zachspda, hey bro we all ahve been here at one point and time or another, just got to get oyu golden and then .... you can:D:D

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

i usually do each separate, then i update profile and prl each with a reboot in between. not necessary for the reboot between profile and prl but that's how i do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ditto that. I am updating Profile and PRL after any kernel or modem change. Overkill, maybe but I am playing it safe. I can't afford to miss a call or email from work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
likewise I'm dependent upon it for buisness and my work crackberry...well you know how that goes.......waiting,waiting....10 minutes later finally boots or catches up. got to talk my work into getting me a new handset as well, for all that I do for them it's the least they can do for me extra.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachspda:
Booted I must say HTCs were easier when it came to flashing, but I would guess this is probably better performer as far as performance goes, more compartmentalized
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I agree, better seems to come from staying with the same rather than mix and match. Though I'm still on EG31 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachspda:
Oh and thanks a lot guys :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
no problem, that's what we do!:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, with the terrible radio on my Nexus I can't count on that so I have to make sure I have a rock solid setup on this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
yeah tossed my NS4G and the wife's a few weeks ago and picked up this after I picked up 2 3D's for a good deal! all in all though i have no complaints about either and you know how it goes as long as the wife is happy you can be too...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachspda:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digitalcrash:
I'm ocd to 1.6 on that test.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
How is this updated ROM compared to 1.5a ? I am still running that with Rogue 1.1 and have been rock solid stable. ZERO los with this setup.

What benefits to upgrade to latest version ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
I'm about to flash this and wanted a definitive answer on whether or not it was safe to restore third party apps with TB. I've read several posts in this thread on the subject; some say don't do it, some say they have no problems. Is it safe to restore just the apps with no data? What about bookmarks? 3P apps (no data) and bookmarks are the only things I would like to use TB to restore just because it is easier than downloading everything one by one from the market. Thanks in advance for the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gti151:
Anybody have a Hulu+ apk th y can share? I upgraded to 2.0.1a and don't want to restore anything with TB. The market says it's not compatible so I can't download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Ok coming from original 1.5a build with stock EG30, and Rogue 1.1

Does the latest ROM here include everything I need in one package ?

The Android OS update 2.3.6 ?

Latest modem ?

Newest Rogue kernel ?

Or do I need to download any of this separately ?

And lastly what changes / benefits is going to newest ROM over 1.5a ?

Sprint Galaxy S2 w/ Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
2.0.1a contains ONLY the rom and Rogue Kernel (OP). The newest Kernel is called Desperado, so that will be needed to download also. The modem is totally separate. So to have 2.0.1a, Desperado 1.3.0, and EK02 modem, you would have to download all 3. 2.0.1a is based off 2.3.6 the new EK02 stuff.
