you can do it but i hope op dont cause they cause issues imo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Yea, and easiest way to do it is through rom manager...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amw1972:
suggest you try WidgetLocker well worth the price IMO. You can switch styles and themes...

Widget Locker is available in the Market

I did the exact same thing you did and had the exact same problem... I re-did the stock root and CWM thing and redid did the format all thing and reput on 2.8.1 and it works like a charm. Maybe try it again...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I don't have any proof, but I'm under the impression it was better to odin/flash a kernel with cwm integrated versus getting via rom manager. Is there any validity to this? Pros/cons?

Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
I got it through rom manager my first time after rooting and never had any issues. Of course its easier to flash a kernel with cwm already included, but if you don't have any recovery on your phone yet, I think going through rom manager is the easiest route. Although you don't get the added benefits of a rogue modded recovery that first time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QuietFreak:
in my case, i think it was the cable... i put the roms on my sd card through an adapter instead of using the phone and the next flash it worked. i'm glad you got yours flashed correctly too!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] goitsme48:
OMG... I am guessing I bricked the phone...

I installed recovery mod, ran the format all file but did not realize that I did not copy the whole v2.8.1 ROM to my SD card...

I am stuck at recovery screen... I have downloaded the complete file (Calkulin's_E4GT_ROM_v2.8.1.zip) to my PC..not sure how to get to the phone..

How do I get to my phone and install that file. Please help... I am in panic mode...

Thank You...

Note: I will be refreshing this screen quite often (its 8.54 pm central time here).

Can you get into Odin download mode? Power plus volume down key?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Relax. Take a couple deep breaths. From recovery go down to where it says mounts and storage.

Enter there and select Mount /sd card then select usb mass storage mode (either internal or sd card depending on what you have). You should now be able to connect to your pc and upload the complete rom and flash it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shakewell:
get it to the phone by mounting it or get a sd card reader install on laptop and move file and then install via rogue kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] goitsme48:
Thank You so much... I can do that.. now I have to wait 26 more minutes (longest ever) since hotfile aborted right in the middle... grrr....

Any idea if there is other site I can download that file (Calkulin\'s_E4GT_ROM_v2.8.1.zip)...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
If anyone is interested, you can download the newest version with this torrent. Just PLEASE make sure to keep the torrent seeding after you are done downloading.

If you are not familiar with torrents, look here: http://www.utorrent.com/help/guides/beginners-guide

Essentially download utorrent, install it, and open the .torrent file I posted with the utorrent program. It will then download calk's rom directly from me and anyone else who is sharing the file.

Make sure all proper ports are forwarded and that you have DHT and local peer discovery enabled in utorrent.

You may also download directly to your phone using an app such as ttorrent (pro version recommended) for android. Just open the .torrent file using the ttorrent app on your phone.

I had that same issue on stock once but after that one time it worked no problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kcstier:
Please someone answer my questions

I have [ ROM ] Calkulin's E4GT v2.8.1 [ EL29 with Gunslinger 1.4.1 and when I try to connect my stock usb cable, which came with my S2 Epic Touch to my usb port on my radio in my car, the usb won't read my files. It will charge the phone via usb though! When this phone was stock, everything regarding music file access through usb to my usb port on my stereo system worked. Calkulin? Can you address this issue or anyone else please help?

Also when your reading an email from your stock email application, that is included in the rom/phone whatever you call it, when you hit reply to an email, the entire phone freezes up and you need to press the home button repeatedly to force the email application to close!

Now everytime I flash an update or before I installed the original first rom to come out with Calk, I did do a full data wipe, cleared cashe, and dalvik-cashe! So I'm lost and nobody seems to want to help????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
I'm not sure it's that no one wants to help. I think it's more we aren't sure how to. There are some weird things happening on my phone too. I'm not sure if it's the rom, my apps or my phone, but when I'm playing music or something along those lines, I get a very unpleasant sound, the phone freezes, reboots and bootloops. It's very weird and generally takes a little while for it to happen, but it seems like there are lots of little weird things like that and maybe people are just not commenting because they believe it is an isolated incident. It's possible I may need to adjust my minimal value in setcpu. I'll try that and let you know what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I know this is pretty basic but in settings/applications/development 'USB debugging' is unchecked correct? It won't connect through usb if that is selected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] goitsme48:
I loaded the ROM successfully after initial hiccups. Thanks board members for helping me out. I am sure I will have some questions every now and then and big shout out to "Calkulin" for the great ROM.

BTW, I sent small donation via paypal.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badkarmah187:
Great Rom, just a few questions

Great Rom, I've been using this rom for a few months already. The only issues I am having are the following:

1. While in a call, the volume rocker button will not "increase/decrease" the volume when the screen is off (when the phone is touching my ear). I have to let the screen come on again to control the volume. Not a big deal, but wanted to see if this is a known issue or not.

2. The "digital clock" widget does not display the correct time and date and I need to re-add the widget for the time to be correct again. I'm on the ADW launcher if that makes a difference. Anyone seeing these issues?

see screenshot

Thanks for the Rom! I love the stability.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
The volume thing is a known issue. I swear I heard the same problem on other roms (prob based off calks rom).

As for the clock... does it just randomly display the wrong time or just once and is good after you re-add it? Maybe try totally reinstalling it? or reinstalling adw?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eozdalga:
Beautiful ROM, been using now for 2 days. Only issue is my battery life. Can someone tell me which undervolt settings to flash to max battery life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:
No issue with battery life for me. I easily get 15 hours without undervolting. You using 4G a lot or what up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
-100 as long as your phone is stable at those settings.

Never use 4G cause it will drain battery too fast. I get about 7 hours on this ROM. I was getting maybe 8 on stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MikeC84:
I been messing with this rom lately and am pretty satisfied with the speed I have achieved. I removed the screenstate scaling and cpufreq governor and under volt script and replaced them with other scripts available on xda. s98bolt, s70darky_zipalign, s98cfs, s98screenstate_scaling and s98system_tweak..

Using smartass v2 for governor and is running pretty solid so far.. I also made some changes to the build.prop. NetSpeedTweaks, 3gSpeedTweaks, increased scrolling responsiveness (although may not be necessary), some telephone tweaks, increased wifi scan time for better battery and some other miscellaneous tweaks.

I also changed the battery icon (Hero_Over for images) and plan on changing MUCH more to my liking just had to figure out how to do it first..:D Next is changing the app drawer from 5x5 to 4x4 while keeping the 5 icon dock:)

Thanks for the all the work you put into the Rom Calk!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
How many hours do you have the screen on? And you using the Internet a lot? Those two are the biggest killers. Someone here was able to get 5 hours display and around 15 total but that's because he only text and turned off data most of the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tubasteve:
Have had a wonderful time with this rom. Had a recent issue with the notification light acting up...actually, not even working when charging. Backed up my crap, was about to go system restore (mind you I tried the led test apps, searched for a while... After testing myself found by resetting permissions fixed my issue...however if you test with the led tester app again...need to stop its process.

Noticed also same problem with In call volume not adjustable unless screen is on. I'm sure as the blue sky it will get fixed. If I missed it let me know, I searched and only found I'm one of many.

Okay I don't know what happened but now I have that volume adjustment not working with the screen off. This includes speakerphone and screen off. It's either sporadic or switching between regular and AIO did something.

What kernel are you using that has the smartass v2 governor? Fyi, A lot of the tweaks in the bolt script won't work with our kernel.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
From OP:

"If SetCPU, Overclock Widget, Android Overclock or QuickClock Advanced Overclock are detected, the script is ignored, so it will not affect them"

It will only yield to those four.

How about sharing your script package? I would like to try out what you are running! Edit.. Oh and its HelicopterShowdown now not Hero_Over...lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I ran the new ROM odex zip on Calkulin's 2.8.1 with Minimal Black with no lockscreen mod but with gtg's toggles and it worked perfect. I then tested it on a theme with the aio mod and my status bar disappeared. It could be because I am completely exhausted but I will see if someone else has success with it while running a theme with aio mod...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Don't rush to try these. Most of the tweaks won't work on our device because we don't have a kernel that uses the siyah bus/gpu/cpu tables. We also don't have many of the governors that are tweaked by these scripts. I took a close look at these scripts after they were publicized on the xda portal for the att sgs ii.

I have EL13 and am being prompted to upgrade to EL29

I have v2.5.1 of your awesome ROM with EL13 on it. This morning, my phone asked me to reboot for a system upgrade to EL29. My questions:

1. What happens if I allow the reboot to happen?

2. How to stop the prompt from happening?

3. I'm assuming the safest thing for me to do is to download your latest ROM and use CWM to apply it?

Thanks for the work on your ROMs and thanks ahead of time for answers to my questions!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
The update should fail. However, you should never do an OTA update on a custom rom unless your able to fix your phone by reflashing if something does go through and breaks. It should error out though since your not on stock. I would suggest moving to the 2.8.1 on here or wait a while longer for the 2.9 when its released. I am on the latest right now and have no issues. Its working alot better than the el13 version imo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I'm UV 100 using EL 29 modem and Gunslinger 1.4.1 Kernel. Battery drained from 100% to 66% right now on 7 hours. I ran Badass battery monitor and it shows the kernel usage at 48%,but every other app is less than 8% over the last 7 hours. Any advice?

Volume during phone call

I upgraded to 2.8 a couple of days ago, love it, runs really smooth. The only problem I have noticed is during a phone call I can not change the volume, the up down control has no effect. I thought maybe it was a hardware problem, but the control works in all other applications. Anyone else having this problem, or any suggestions?

On a side note, anyone had any experience or success with Juice Defender Ultimate with this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
Really it is a little too early for me to know this for sure. However, I am UV anywhere from 75-100 depending on the speed step (Set CPU) and controlling the CPU speed (never OC only under) depending on charging state, battery %, and screen on/off. I also noticed that the phone had more lag than expected but was still using more battery than I expected. Last night I changed all of my profiles from Lazy to Conservative (except the Charging profile I changed from Lazy to Interactive) and it seems (key word seems because it just hasn't been long enough) that the phone is MUCH more responsive and that it is using less battery.

I will try to remember to update this later once the phone has had more time on battery to let you know if this is still appearing to work out as stated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
No, I got one for the wife for $.01 on Amazon's Penny Pincher Black Friday Sale around Thanksgiving. Rooted it & flashed this at v2.6, then 2.7, and now 2.8.1. I have to say I'm quite impressed with this phone, it's screaming fast, & Calk's ROM is amazingly stable. Also flashed the new Rogue Gunslinger 1.4.1 last night, it's a little crashy @ 1.7GHz, but pretty snappy overall.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
Still a lot to learn about the E4GT, but if I'm understanding this correctly you're using the Tegrak OC app to change the scaling & governor settings, is that right? How do I change the profiles? :confused:

:o Forgive me for the noob questions, but this seems a lot more complicated on the E4GT than it is on my EVO 4G, TF, NC, & HeroC. Just trying to learn, & optimize both performance, & battery life. This is the wife's phone so it HAS to be stable, & I still think there's room for improvement in terms of performance & battery life. Thanks for any Insight! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
Nope I'm not using the Tegrak stuff at all. I happened to purchase SetCPU (from the market) about two years ago. Hadn't really used it much on my old HeroC but I have been using it this last several days on the E4GT. It let's me control the volts on each speed separately which I like because at j-100 overall I was having a few issues but I was able to leave both the 200MHz and 1.2GHz at -100 while turning the other speeds up to -75 and I have been stable since. It also lets you create profiles to change the settings...max/min speeds/governor... depending on the state of your phone. So, I have 1.2G/200M w/interactive when plugged in...500M/200M w/Conservative when unplugged and the screen is off and when the battery gets below 50%...and 800M/200M w/Conservative when unplugged screen on and above 50% battery.

Again...All of that is easily done in SetCPU but I don't know how to tell you to do it otherwise.

You don't put a TAR file on the SD Card. A TAR File is for flashing with ODIN. You have to have a proper ZIP file to flash from the SC Card with CWM Recovery.

Honestly dude, I have never had any sort of lag on this ROM. My internet works great and all of my apps open and work flawlessly. I have no idea what Calk does to his ROMs, but I do know that they work with no issues.

Did you flash the Format All .zip and then flash the ROM?

I've been on this ROM for quite sometime. No issues.

I did not have the best performance with EL29 modem, battery drain was much more plus data was not that great, I went back to the EL13 modem which is still the best imo.

As far as the 2.8.1 ROM, will be hard to find a better RM, much better than stock for sure, also give it some time to settle in

I have about 70 apps in total, but My Apps in Market only show 25. If I search for an app that is installed, but not listed in My Apps, the app description will show "installed." I've already cleared data for the market and rebooted the phone. I also checked that TB was set to restore Market links when restoring apps. Anybody have any ideas on this one?

Oh okay. I've always had minor issues using SetCPU, stability, wakeup lag, etc. I use ROMToolbox to control everything, CPU, governor, sysctl config, I/O scheduler, voltage control, build.prop tweaks, Oom AutoKiller, etc. Then I use SystemTuner to set the SD cache, or read ahead at 6144.

I may have to give SetCPU another whirl, but I hate to use one app for just one thing, when I can use one app to do ten things.
