I found my problem, when I copied the file to my SD card, and then copy/pasted it to init.d folder it changed permissions. Once I edited that, your original script worked.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

rogue kernel is up to 1.5.0 for those curious. hopefully calk is basing 2.9 on the latest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
I hope not. Personally I don't like it. Probably because its based on the original cwm recovery and not the rogue modified one. It just feels so awkward to use. Maybe when it gets fine tuned I'll switch over but for now, its stock el13 with rogue recovery for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
No offense but you only used your phone for a combined 4 hours out of 48. Great battery life though if you don't use your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Stock touch recovery! It works great but I understand your opinion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
So what? The mere fact that the device is capable of this is very encouraging. Without some of the kernel/ROM tweaks, you can be sure this would look a LOT different over the same period.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
So what?? The fact is, I bought this phone to use it, not stare at it. No reason to get sensitive, I also stated that it was pretty good though. I pointed it out so that people don't run in here thinking they are gonna get two days on battery with average usage. Jeez.

would anyone by chance happen to have a mirror link? hotfile is pretty much the biggest piece of s**t on the planet.

edit: 3 failed downloads in a row on XScope. The last one was 2 hours ago. Decided to try on the laptop, and hotfile says I'm "still downlaoding". fml.

edit-2: almost 3 HOURS now, and somehow I'm "currently downloading" still... F**K YOU HOTFILE!

edit-3: 4th failed download, this time on the laptop. Now, cant re-try because I'm "currently downloading". God hates me, I give up.

Is the battery issue figured out yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spongaweb:
Maybe its a deeper issue, but I get loss of signal a lot and when I click the don't remind me again button it still pops up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
What is your exact setup right now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
Its a stock test mode, it lets you test the touch panel, LCD colors, earpiece, rear speaker, vibration motor, LED light, and a few other things I can't remember.

It does it without input from the software, so if you think your earpiece is failing this will tell you wether its a software issue or hardware issue.

If you suspect your touch panel is bad you can do a "line drawing test", scribble around on the screen, and if you got jagged lines zooming off in places you didn't even touch you know the touch panel is bad.

I just wanted someone else to try because I wasn't sure I had removed it when I was on a fat trimming rampage with the 2.8.1 update we just did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Didn't even know about this. I will have something else to test. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luisrod03:
guys i have a quick question...i probably sound dumb but to undervolt my phone...should i flash the 100mv? or should i flash like the 75 mv? im kind of confuse can you guys help me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Try the torrent file in my signature. It should be ALOT faster and more stable.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Flash the 100mV and if your phone is stable with no force close or reboots stick with it. If not, try 75 then 50 etc...

Has anyone notice high AOS only when wifi is on. I have gotten horrible battery life with wifi on. Does anyone know of a fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luisrod03:
how does modem EG31 working for you guys?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Is your sleep state set to "never" in wifi settings? Otherwise it will stop and restart and drain your battery. If I go to sleep with a full battery, I wake up with between 95-97% battery depending on which apps I have installed. I never turn off Wifi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Global:
I was using EL29 and it was horrible. Really slow. Speedtest was really slow.

I changed to EG31 and now its MUCH faster. (3-4 times faster according to speedtest)

I'm on 2.7 of this rom. I'm not really sure what the best modem is to use, but the EG31 is much faster for me.

Also, should I stay on 2.7? switch to 2.8.1? or wait for 2.9?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Just wondering if anyone has tried sprints TEP app with this. Ive never had any luck with the GPS tracking while on this particular rom. But maybe its something else.

Getting ready to flash over the odin tar of EL29 to double check. I know how you guys love stock sprint apps but had I had gps tracking on my last phone I would have gotten it back a whole lot quicker.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Hey Mr. Corleone, so it is better to have wifi sleep set to never?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Quocstazz:
Just flashed hit man kernel. It seems really lagging at the home screen. I was wondering if it's the rom or the kernel. If it's the kernel is there any way to fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Mess with the governers. Try on demand and reboot your phone again. It just needs to settle in

Right on thank you...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sdglenn:
Yes set to never. I did a fresh install of caulks 2.8.1. Tried el13 modem stock kernel and gunsliner. Currently running 2.8.1, hitmsn snd el29. Aos is fine with wifi off. Is it possible the rom or kernel flash is not 100%?

Is it better to odin the kernel and modem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rondietz1:
Screen on , screen off, hours used, not used.....this means nothing. The only important issue, and I use Juice Defender as I earlier posted (I think it started this discussion) is what battery life you personally get, for your normal usage, and whether or not a program such as Juice Defender increases it. It doesn't matter whether you are a heavy user or an occasional user, does a particular setup or product increase the battery life as opposed to not using it. This was never meant to be a combination of who can do the most with the phone in the longest period of time, it is what does it do for you, as you use your phone. Don't make it into a pissing match, use a tip, try different things, don't, the choice is your's, but don't dis something or someone if you aren't going to try it.

ps.. This is not intended as offense to you kbizzle, I know you were just pointing out the usage, but to all, we all tend to get a bit opinionated when someone is only sharing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parth750:
I posted this on the Q&A forums but I figured I'd post it here since there wasn't much interest over there. I was poking around the init.d scripts Calkulin has put up and I noticed that it doesn't seem to work. Here's the "4undervolt" script which you can find in /system/etc/init.d.

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Created by Calkulin
# Epic 4G Touch -50mV v1.1

if [ -e /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table ]; then
UV_TABLE=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table | wc -l`
CPU_MAX_FREQ=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq`
STEPS_1600_200="1450 1350 1225 1125 1025 925 875"
STEPS_1704_200="1500 1450 1400 1350 1225 1125 1025 925 875"
if [ $UV_TABLE = "7" ] && [ $CPU_MAX_FREQ = "1600000" ]; then
echo $STEPS_1600_200 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table
echo "-50mV Undervolt Levels SET"
elif [ $UV_TABLE = "9" ] && [ $CPU_MAX_FREQ = "1704000" ]; then
echo $STEPS_1704_200 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table
echo "-50mV Undervolt Levels SET"
fi
fi

Well I just flashed 2.8.1 (I used to be on 2.5.1 with the same issue), and it seems like the UV_TABLE, which is supposed to be in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/, isn't there. This means that neither the if nor the elif is being taken, which basically means the script is having no effect.

Am I reasoning correctly? If so, it seems like it would affect a lot of people who think they're undervolting but really aren't. Could someone with more familiarity Android possibly take a look?

Also, is there a way for me to check the current voltage at the CPU?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
I use SetCPU which also shows the current voltages at each step and allows you to change them for the current session or reset them on reboot. If I leave the reboot off and flash the various stock or undervolt zips I certainly see the values that SetCPU is reporting change. In the end I choose to flash and leave the Stock zip (so I always remember what the baseline is) and then I control my voltage with SetCPU (since I am using it for the CPU Frequency as well w/profiles).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parth750:
I actually tried SetCPU. It allowed me to change the clock speeds, but I didn't see any voltage adjustment settings. Which of Calk's ROMs are you running? Did you make any changes like flashing another Kernel? I'm on 2.8.1 and I'm pretty sure I don't have any SetCPU voltage settings.

EDIT: Also, are you using the Bare ROM or the full one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Voltages are adjustable in the paid version. Totally worth it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parth750:
Ah, I figured it out. For the last several months, Calk has been running on Stock kernels repackaged by Rouge. This obviously means the UV_mV_table won't be there, which prevents undervolting. I flashed to the latest Hitman kernel and everything works like a charm!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Did you read that somewhere? Link!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I just read the OP and saw that 2.9 "coming soon"....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
That was added since last Monday so im hoping it'll be released soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Hopefully it will say Hitman will be the kernel but that's an easy change
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luisrod03:
Paid version? There is only one setcpu app and you supposed to pay for it on the market....i used setcpu also and i don't see where you adjust voltages....

So, I've busted my cherry and installed my first custom ROM, ran stock for several weeks, had no probs at all, then I started f*cking with it, flashing kerns, mods, etc.

Hurah for TB! Hurah for GoLauncher settings backup! (easiest transition to my fave setup w/ all my apps on a new ROM evar!)

Flashed last night, everything super smooth, stable.

But! Batt life seems meh.

Apparently related to "media server". Did a quick search this morning (on XDA) , found out "what it's for" sort of.

But didn't find any "fixes". (not at a computer atm, or I would search again just to be sure...) Is this a common problem? Related to kernel/modem? Is there a "fix"? Or another thread I missed explaining this?

Thanks for your patience. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parth750:
I got the paid version from the Market, which has the voltage control feature. It's just the feature won't be enabled on a stock kernel, which is what Calk uses.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Right. Tegrak works well on stock, SetCPU on custom kernels

+1. Also the cpu governor script, which is set to conservative by default, won't change the stock kernel's ondemand setting. However, works as expected with a custom kernel.

I've tried everything I know to restore my market links and am assuming there's some obvious measure I'm missing here. I've cleared market data and restored all market links using Market Doctor myriad times.

I deleted my secondary Google account which was linked to the market as well, thinking that may be it, but no luck. My market shows 0 apps no matter what I do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I personaly use Tegrak Ultimate on the included kernel to undervolt. Since I dont overclock this seems to work really well. Plus I like being able to adjust internal/core and GPU voltages.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
Heres what it looks like and everything it covers for those who care -

Menu:

Sensor test:

Touch test:

Since it doesn't work i'll try and tell you what these mean off memory - never mind, I flashed a stock ROM so everyone can see.

RED, BLUE, GREEN - shows a screen of those colors - helpful for finding bad pixels

RECEIVER (White)- Tests the earpiece with a one pitch sound, volume can be adjusted, as well as showing a full white screen - helpful for finding bad pixels.

VIBRATION (Black) - Vibration motor obviously and shows a full black screen - helpful for finding bad pixels.

DIMMING - Tests the screens ability to dim

MEGACAM - Tests rear camera without any software enhancements

SENSOR - Shows you a numerical value testing the proximity sensor, i.e. 0 for off, 1 for on, a value for the auto dimming sensor, 1-100 i believe. These can be tested by covering them with you hand to make sure they go all the way up and down the scale. Also shows a graphical representation of Magnetic sensor as well as some other values (see picture 2).

TOUCH - This is what I referred to as the line drawing test (see picture 3).

SLEEP MODE - Simply puts the phone to sleep.

SPEAKER - Tests rear speaker at full volume.

SUB KEY - Tests the bottom 4 keys, and the volume keys.

FRONT CAM - Front cam obviously.

Tell your jealous HTC friends they can get in the action too with a similar built in test by dialing *#*#3424#*#*

Now I just need to get rid of the damn yellow triangle I just triggered.

Any EASY suggestions? lol

Hey guys, I've been having an issue where the red notification light stays on all the time. This has has nothing to do with this ROM as it was happening BEFORE flashing but it was mentioned by someone earlier in this thread so I thought I might see if anyone has any thoughts. I just completely wiped everything many times and reflashed another ROM, then back to this one but no change.

Any thoughts appreciated! I'm beginning to wonder if it's a hardware issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
This happened to my wife's phone. Most likely its the usb port on the phone. It thinks its still connected. Try blowing some air into the port and clean it out. I used a small plastic toothpick to gently scrap the contacts for any lint or dirt.

in the same way, check your charging cable and make sure its clean too.. or just buy a new micro usb cable. I have plenty of spares at home, they're so cheap online.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eozdalga:
Thanks for the reply. I'd actually been having lots of problems with my USB port. It all makes sense. I've tried scraping it and now it actually connects to the computer easier but the light still on. I'll keep working on it.

If the red light is still on, just reboot the phone. That usually clears it up.

Anyone recently tried Hitman kernel with this after running stock kernel for a while?? I seem to get horrible battery life with it and some small lag. Just wondering if I was the only one or maybe it is just my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I tried it for a little bit. Then reflashed the stock kernel that was included. I seem to get better performance using it and Tegrak to adjust voltages then with other kernels/methods. That's my take on it anyway.

(i.e)

EG30 - this is the stock EG30 kernel (not recompiled) with the stock initramfs/recovery (ie this is completely stock) - pulled from shipping phone

EG31+CWM - this is the stock EG31 (ie EG30-Rev5) kernel, repacked with CWM5.

EK02+CWM - this is the stock EK02 kernel, repacked with CWM5.

NOT TRUE. Voltages are adjustable on non-stock rogue roms. Free/paid has nothing to do with it. In the market there is ONLY the paid version. The developer offered it to all xda members for free. Just search set cpu free or something like that in the main forums.

I am curious as how people are changing voltages with setcpu on the stock kernel. When I load it only options I have is for clock slider and governor. Tegrak has been the only app I have been able to changed voltages on the stock kernel. I may be missing something which is possible but I'm not seeing it. Now I can adjust voltages on like Whitman with setcpu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
There are issues when installing alternate launchers that have nothing to do with how many times you formatted the system, data, and cache partitions. I ran calk's wipe all script 4 times and then manually formatted each partition. I flashed the rom and installed another launcher. It ran fine until reboot. After rebooting it would get to the lock screen but was stuck in some type of loop. Screen would go off, bottom buttons would light up and phone would vibrate then the screen would come on, vibrate, go off and start the cycle over. It never came out of this. I pulled the battery and booted to recovery and wiped the dalvik and the cache. Then I was stuck at the galaxy boot logo. I am not sure what is getting changed when installing other launchers but something is definitely happining. I like this rom and want to stick with it. I am not bashing the dev in any way shape or form. So I am reporting this as a possible bug to the rom developer that he can hopefully resolve for us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Did you set a default launcher before rebooting? Or use Tb?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
what launcher is it, I have run ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro with no issues..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
yep, Its a fact, if you don't set a default launcher BEFORE you reboot this phone, you will get the weird boot/lockscreen/lighted capacitive buttons/lockscreen cycle over and over and over again..I have done this several times, and can say with certainty that this will happen if you do not set a default launcher..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Yeah I had that and had to rewipe and reflash , but after setting go launcher as my default I was all good, just had a feeling that was it. I have yet to see great battery life however :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
You've got to leave the phone alone for a day or two BEFORE you can get an accurate assessment of how the battery works..when you are flashing, tweaking, booting, flashing, installing, uninstalling, and all that, your battery never gets a chance to settle in..

I always laugh when people flash a rom, and then an hour or two later they are reporting "great battery life", or "horrible battery life"...how the hell can you tell unless you let the battery go through a couple of charge/discharge cycles???

I worked for several years at the worlds largest battery charger manufacturer, so I know quite a bit about battery charging technology....
