Hey Calk noticed that when you change lockscreen wallpaper it uses a square box instead of rectangle to crop the image, thus distorting the image at lockscreen.

And is there a way to stop the confirm delete option in email...

Just attempted this, same problem again. I really don't know what is causing the issue with going to 2.5 or even 2.0.1a.

Downloading bare ROM now to see if that works out any different...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rezrez12:
I'm having the weirdest issue with both 2..0a and 2.5.

About 60% of the time, when I receive an incoming call, my phone rings, but the person calling me does not hear the phone ringing. Then when I pick up the phone, the person calling me can not hear me, but I can hear them breathe or hang up.

The rest of the time the phone functions normally.

I just tried the new radio, as well as the format all, and clean install of 2.5..

Does anyone have any idea of what might be going on??

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iondokk:
It is possible you have a bad download on your hands...

Seems it would throw an error before it finishes though...

Are you flashing from the internal SD or the external SD.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mizex:
Flashing from external SD. I just finished flashing with bare ROM and it worked! The phone is running on 2.5 now.

I suppose it is possible for it to have been a bad download but the same issue on 2.0.1a and 2.5? I will attempt to download it again and try it one more time with the standard install just to see. If it bugs out again I will just stick with the bare ROM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rezrez12:
Thank you, but unfortunately it did not work.

I followed these directions and reset SCTN. Could it be anything else??? It's driving me nuts!!

How to improve data speed and stability, address data or wifi issues, etc. (especially after flashing a new modem)

Hands Free Activation:

Get your Master Subsidy Lock (MSL) code (Use Terminal Emulator and type "su" then "getprop ril.MSL" (case sensitive and don't use stock swype as the "I" malfunctions.)

Go to dialer and enter ##72786#

Enter your MSL and hit OK

On the SCRTN screen select yes

Phone will auto reboot and take you to Hands Free Activation

Re-activation will initiate, let it run (DO NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN until it says Press OK to continue)

It will update Profile, then PRL, (you can select cancel when it searches for Firmware update)

Phone will reboot again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mizex:
Sounds like the same thing that happened to me. If it is as bad as mine I was not able to get into recovery by just holding the Volume+ and Power Button.

I had to..

Put phone in Odin mode

Flash stock image

Root the phone again

Go back into CWM and start process over

I was finally able to get it to stop getting stuck at the Galaxy screen by using the bare ROM. Which kind of makes me wonder if there is some app in the standard ROM that does not play nice with EL13? I believe the only difference between the standard and bare is that the bare has the apps removed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Maybe try a different kernel. Otherwise, I'd probably start fresh, wiping everything, re-downloading ROM from a desktop pc and install from scratch. It sucks, but there is no legitimate cause for the issue. It's not related to any one element, but has to be some combination of your setup or your setup + hardware.

If you have any mods (scaling, themes, pushed apps, etc.) I would try running first just as the ROM comes and see if that make any difference.

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

I run the full ROM. No issues at all, so it would have to be some other combination of things, not a specific app, otherwise I would have the issue as well.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] narucii:
I just installed the V2.5 with EL13 today. So far so good everything seem to be running fine. The ROM is super fast, Speedtest 4g average 7bps to 10375kbps. I'm going to do the battery calibrate next. Thank you!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
I can't really say, it's been less than a day. I'll give it at least 48 hours before I make the call, but I'm one of those who never really worries about battery life. It is what it is.

That said, haven't used it much at all today compared to my normal use. CPUSpy shows 8:36:52 Total State Time, but with 5:54:02 in Deep Sleep. I have 50% battery. So that's around 2.5 hours of use eating 50% battery. Not great, but not the end of the world. I believe on the stock kernel I was using this past week, I was getting around 14 hours with very active use, probably around 8 hours sleep and 6+ active use.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
To everyone who is having problems with this ROM, if you do a format all/flash the stock rooted ROM/reboot/ flash this ROM/reboot/do not restore apps but only

restore data

to the ones you really need, you should not have any problems. The people who are having problems are flashing this over a pre-existing build. Something is carrying over in data that is causing your problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iondokk:
Can someone explain to me why you are flashing back to stock if you are using Format_all.zip before flashing your custom ROM'S. Seems like a wasted step when Format_all is FORMATING your phone. There can be no traces of the old ROM.... just asking!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M2Iceman:
I went through this process 4 times. At first I was coming from EK02 Modem and 2.3.6 Calkulin ROM. Wiped, flashed, stuck on Galaxy screen. Forgot to backup so Odin back to stock EK02. Find out my memory card is maxed with a bunch of crap and no more space. Clear out the memory card and then flash new Rogue Kernel first. Reflashed V2.5 and stuck again. Odin stock EK again and then flashed EL13 Modem and reflash Rogue kernel and finally do a backup. Wipe everything again with Format all and flash V2.5 again and still stuck at Galaxy screen. I'm gonna recheck the download but I have never run into any issues with any of Cal's ROMs.

One thing I did notice that made me worry about the ROM flash and know I was getting stuck again was after flashing the ROM when I hit the button to go back a screen to Reboot Now, there is a long delay going back to that screen. Any other time whether flashing a kernel or ROM I have never seen a delay like that.

Went back to EL13 Modem, Kernel and 2.0.1a

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mizex:
Well I finally got everything working fine this morning. For me I think I have traced it back to either a bad download or perhaps the method that I was getting the file onto my phone. I was downloading the files to my network drive before and using ES File Explorer to transfer them to the phones SD Card... this could perhaps have been my issue with the files being corrupted along the way somewhere.

I also noticed that long pause when going back a screen to reboot phone. It normally would mean it would fail when I would get that long pause going back. If you have a backup of your previous install you can restore it before rebooting and prevent the issue of getting stuck in the Galaxy screen. I did that a couple of times when I did not feel like going through the Odin process again. I restored my phone back to stock about 6-7 times last night attempting different methods of installing 2.5.

My method for getting phone working again with all my data from before was...

Download full 2.5 ROM again

Hook phone up to computer

Transfer the files onto the SD Card via USB

Reboot into recovery

Use format_all.zip ... It was already on a stock ROM but I wanted to make sure there was nothing left.

Restore previous backup

Reboot phone into ROM

Reboot into recovery again

Wipe cache and dalvik

Install 2.5 full ROM

Reboot

Got past Galaxy screen this time with 2.5!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Assuming you already tried the obvious things, but if not you could try:

1) Rebooting multiple times

2) Flashing a different kernel

3) Doing a hands free reset (gummed up data/ connections can cause unnecessary drain)

Sorry for the noob question What is throughput

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
You might try hiding all devices in the market on your desktop then repeating the process you noted above and letting all the account locations rebuild from scratch.

As far as the car stereo issue. I ran into the same thing. I believe it has to do with our phone showing both an internal and external SD. Somehow confuses the stereo. Neither my Alpine nor my JVC recognize my E4GT, where both recognised my EVO. There may be an app to address that. Something like "mount all usb connections" or something like that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
Thank you your always very helpful glad to see you in here what about the android system fc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
No problem, thanks for the kind words.

As far as the fc's, that issue is a bit of an enigma. I have seen so many different causes and "solutions" it's hard to say what's real and what's perceived. I've only had it occur twice, both times early on with Starburst. In one case it was my mistake not selecting TW as the default launcher before flashing the new version of the ROM. The second time out was due to an issue with custom lock settings. I'd say if rebooting several times, changing kernel or updating data doesn't resolve it, you may need to reflash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madsquabbles:
it's download speeds. the tethering apps show what the current speeds as you're streaming/downloading.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
Are you spying on me lol I have custom lock screens and I do have twz, go launcher and adw ex installed on the phone.

I learn something new everyday from this site thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
LOL, pretty common set up. Hope you get it figured out.

Last resort, wipe and reflash, making sure to select TW before you begin the wipe-flash process (in theory that shouldn't matter one bit, but it seems to have affected more than one user on this phone so it's a harmless piece of superstition to adhere to LOL.) Once you are booted again and let it settle in a bit then you can go with ADW or GO.

Good luck.

I was messing around with my phone and I installed the current ICS theme by overstew 1.9.3 and I started randomly getting the system FC. I went back to my backup before installing the theme and all issues are gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Good point. Themes definitely can be a cause, as can clocking mods, kernel, overall combo/ setup and mods in general. Really there are dozens of potential causes. Makes it tough to fix sometimes.

Like anything in life, the best thing you can do is start from a quality/ working base whenever possible. For Android, that typically means flashing without applying any mods whatsoever, letting things settle in to see if everything works as it should. This makes it much easier to identify any changes that may cause issues. Flashing and modding straight away introduces waaaay to many variables to properly troubleshoot.
