[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Alright, it's still unusual. Were all 3 phones rooted and the rom installed using the exact same method? I'm trying to find some commanality to your situation because as I stated, it sounds like your problem is rather unique and maybe we can offer an alternative method to reflash one of the phones to see if that is where the problem may lie.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:

Rocking calks ICS right now, but I will always have a copy of this on my sd card. This build is rock solid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I already suggested that too. I have a feeling that the problem is happening when the phone goes to sleep and has difficulty re-authenticating to the wifi router and there is a lag that's long enough to make it appear that its not working.

is there anyway to disable the wake screen on volume keys?

it's interfering with the way i'm enjoying my long press volume keys to skip music tracks addon

also i think i lost the cool power on/off screen animation when i flashed the rotate animate addon on, is there anyway to get that back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
Check the first page of this thread. There should be a flashable zip for the volume music tweak.

Mine doesn't wake on volume press. Weird. I didn't flash any additional zips either. I haven't checked to see if the long press to change music works, as I have no music on this phone haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
have you tried other kernals?

Besides this one I am thinking the one I am on is the fastest.

I have noticed an increase in perfomance from changing my kernal to one in your suggested thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341564

At first on this rom, performance was very good with moded EL29 kernal in this rom, but battery life was average.

Then I switched to stock EL13 that users reported better for battery,

and battery life was better but performance was just normal.

Now I have been on one from your suggested thread.

I did not pick the one you suggested(1.1.3) but the one above it;

Rogue 1.3.0

At first I did it so I can use Calkulen -75undervolt script to save even more battery than the stock El13 I was on.

What is very impressive is that my phone is running better than ever, quiker responses and smoother animated wallpaper.

I dont remember if speed is better or same as supplied kernal in this rom, bit I dont remember it ever being this quick with great battery so far,

and so I think this setup is the best so far.

So to recap, best setup for me using:

FC07 modem

Rogue ET 1.3.0 Kernal

I cant agree more the FC07 is the best performing for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Good deal Maxx. I also prefer to use the undervolt scripts. As you know everyone has different results even with the exact same setup so I'm glad you found one that works well for you. I ended up installing SetCpu also so I could try Ondemand and Conservative settings too (and also see the undervolt in action to verify it was truly working).

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Wow, so you had the phones replaced by Sprint and that resolved your issue?

See, I told you that it was an unusual problem. I'm very glad you let us know and everything is working as it should. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
I think it is combined in that music press zip.

I am on rom 2.9.1 without installing that mod,

and my phone does not wake on vol presses

I had installed a theme that allowed to have both animations on at same time,

in order for me to see what has been said that together they cause a bug,

in which the screen will become a mirror reversed image on wakup,

if you happened to turn it off in landscape.

It is a nusance so thats why you must choose one or the other.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Totally newb question about flashing modems and I suppose this applies to kernels too...

I've always used CWM to flash the modem.zip but I see some of the more experienced users prefer to Odin the modem.tar. Is there any real difference?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kathompson2nd:
password issues and customizing alerts

Great rom! Just two issues I can't seem to resolve and I've searched the thread.

1. For some reason when I try to enter passwords they don't take. It will only show one letter at a time and only display one letter at a time.

2. I can't customize my ringtones/message alerts to a custom one I downloaded...

any suggestions would be appreciated! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You'll have to more specific about the password problem I think.

To add custom ringtones/alerts they need to be copied to the internal storage within the folder Media/Audio/(Notifications or Ringtones folder).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kathompson2nd:
Thanks for the response. As far as my PW issue...if I open XDA on my browser and attempt to log-in I can not put my password. Ex: if my password was "today". I would type in "t" and then "o" and you would only see the last character that was typed. It doesn't show asterisk's or anything. Same thing with dropbox application, chase application, etc. I have tried changing keyboards, settings...everything. the only password I have been able to put in was my google account password when I set up the phone.

**edit: i was also able to enter my wifi password, those are the only two.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Was this from a fresh install of the ROM? I'd say bite the bullet and wipe and reinstall it.

But... try booting into recovery, wiping cache and dvalik and give it a try again.

FYI, most of us use the XDA or Tapatalk android apps. Its too difficult to navigate from the internal browser.

Edit: Also, you're not using a password caching app are you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
odd, calk's change log says that in version 2.9 Added

Use volume keys to wake phone

maybe i should reset and try with any of the mods
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NeoWave:
Is there a way to remove the "brightness has been reduced to prevent overheating" protection?

I use the gps in my car and cant see **** with sun and sunglasses... Phone is not even hot, my old droid2 used to be extremely more hot than my sg2...

thanks!, great rom :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kathompson2nd:
No password caching app....I wiped dalvik and cache...no change, and it was a fresh install...came from ics cause its way too bugy...I actually think I might know the issue, but it wouldn't make sense...I believe its because I used titanium to install my apps...i'll try that and report back. Thanks for the advice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You used titanium to backup your apps in ics? I've seen a lot of warnings about titanium with ics over in the other forum.

Edit: Maybe it goes both ways.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kathompson2nd:
Ya, I did cause I have WAY too many apps and I hate having to go through and install them manually and re-enter my passwords...but that WAS the issue and now everything is running smooth like butter...minus a few hiccups with my BT...I wonder if I just back up the apps without data...or if titanium is slowly becoming extinct
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yup we're pretty dependent on Titanium. It's all a learning process with a new OS. ICS is so new that we're going to see a lot more broken sh**.

You know, when I do a full wipe, I format the internal AND external SD cards from the settings menu, copy the titanium folder and necessary files to flash a new rom back onto storage and I'm good to go. If you have a ton of apps installed and even more that have been tried and discarded, it clutters up storage in a big way so it's always nice to start out fresh once in a while. But I only do this with a ROM I plan on using for a while and I want everything to run perfectly.

Hello all, I'm new here to the E4GT forums, I'm coming over from the Nexus One where things seemed to be a bit easier being AOSP and all. I've gathered that what you all are calling "Modem" is the equivalent to the Nexus One's "Radio", but I'm not sure what is compatible with what. I don't want to start using any of the ICS leaks yet, so I'm going with Calkulin's EL29(v2.9.2) build, but can I use the modem's from the ICS(FC**) leaks with Gingerbread builds and vise versa? What seems to be the best modem and why?

I'm already rooted and running Rogue CWM, but can I run regular CWM, or the new touch friendly CWM so that I can use the ROM Manger app? If I'm able to use other versions of CWM, is there an advantage to Rogue CWM vs regular/touch CWM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NeoWave:
Yes use the last FC14 modem and flash the EL29 rom :) and you'll be flying! I just got my galaxy s2 and i tried the ICS but im coming from a nexus S and the ICS build for gs2 is definitely not good yet. not snappy enough!

And it definitely sucks to not have any aosp anymore :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
Cool, thanks for the modem info.

As for AOSP, definitely miss it. I've been running Cyanogen since a week after I got my Nexus one two years ago.

Now if someone can answer my Clockwork question, I'm golden and ready to dive into my shiny new SGS2E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nsxla:
I screwed up my market. :confused:

For some reason I decided too un-install the older version of the Play store 3.47 using Titaniumbackup (which crashed on me during un-installation) before attempting to installing 3.5.15.apk - ever since I can't download/update any apps. Keep getting vending process errors with the market crashing.

I have tried pushing original vending.apk

using this method

cat /sdcard/vending.apk > /system/app/vending.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/vending.apk

chown 0.0 /system/app/vending.apk

reboot

Did the same with for original marketupdater.apk

I get no errors during this while in adb but the market app never appears on the phone.

Maybe somehow TI crashing corrupted my system? I hope someone has an answering I don't want to reflash the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NeoWave:
Im not sure that you can (or should?) install another CWM, because the recovery needs to be made for samsung phones, we dont have a pure google phone anymore. (Im not sure here, someone can confirm?)

I never tried touch cwm on any phone so i dont know about it.

EDIT : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1548768 <= yeah, not recommended if you don't want to brick your phone

---------- Post added at 05:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

You can just reflash the rom on top without wiping data, unless the rom clear data itself but i dont think so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nsxla:
Isn't there a way i can just do a "clean install" of the original market app?

I don't get why the market is not showing up while pushing it using adb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NeoWave:
Try to just install the apk like a regular app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nsxla:
I did that and it says "Application not installed" Will tinker around a bit more....

I wonder if i can use gapps to flash google applications in recovery ;)

Okay i think i fixed it! or it fixed itself? Thanks for the suggestions NeoWave
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bravo1565:
Sometimes you have to unmount sd card try that its work for me in the past
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nsxla:
Ya I don't know if that would of helped in my case...I think it was a permission issue.

I kept moving vending.apk (different versions) to system/app using RootExplorer & adb. One thing I noticed while browsing system/app the vending icon looked as an unknown icon, but when it changed to proper (market) icon that is when it started working so yep perhaps permissions? or rebooting helped recognized it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I don't notice any "white flash" on my phone.

I particularly like the crt off. to me it looks exactly as an old crt turning off looked like.

it does have a "whitish color" which makes sense as it squished down to a link but this appears "normal" to me. certaintly no full "white screen" then animation.

let me try to get a video for you.

http://youtu.be/Y4Wt23WPvZg

is that what you see?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NeoWave:
thanks for your reponse,

no its not what i see, as soon as i press the power button, before the crt anim, i have a king of white screen, kind of a corrupted texture, white with green and purple in it.

It reminds me of a problem with voodoo graphic drivers + ICS on my old nexus S.

rings a bell?

Sometimes the lockscreen image or live wallpaper image can be seen for an instant and that may ne your problem.

I only see it referred to when you cannot use CWM because phone is really messed up or needing to return to stock.

I have question,

what kernel its started on this room?

Last I remember it did not say rouge, just EL29.

I just flashed rouge 1.4.1 rogue gunslinger kernal and my benchmark results are even higher than ever.

I am also using Calk's 75 undervolt script.

So right now with this combination plus the newest modem my phone is screaming.

I also am rooted ofcourse and have Rogue CWMR. I am afraid to flash the FB modems. So im wondering are the fb radios only for ICS? And if I flash the FB radios/modems can i safely flash other roms without the chance of bricking??? Thanks for any help in advance guys...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
There is 0% chance of a "flash" that has 0% chance of bricking.

anytime you "FLASH" there is always a non zero chance of a bricking.

rare yes 0% no.

flashing modems is pretty safe IIRC since your not flashing away the ability to "boot" the phone IE if it goes bad just flash back to whatever modem worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
You can flash any Calk listed in first page of this thread,

But just get FC14 it seems the best so far with fast GPS lock unlike all the others.

I live in an area with amazing coverage (semi-spotty 4g but 3g is everywhere) but no matter which modem I try my signal jumps like crazy and I even go into roaming while sitting still...I didn't have this issues on my previous carrier but is there anything else I can do? I tried updating my PRL's and I know its not the rom as I've had this issue with the NS4G I just sent back...just a little frustrating
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
Ya but you won't want to, in the back of my mind I knoq I can flash back to stock but ever since starting out with fc07 then fc14 i've had no regrets
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
My guess is your previous carrier was T-mobile which like ATT uses different GSM technology,

and now your on Sprint carrier using CDMA technology, which is prone to problems similar to FM with signal reflections and such, so you getting jumpy signal.

My father has same issue in a high rise apartment on 19th floor where there are eight similar tall buildings in a 3 block radius.

My suggestion is to keep 4g on in case 3g drops, or use latest modem FC14 in first page this thread,

as it kept me at 3bars by switching me to roaming in my sister's dead zone where as before I would just loose signal completely.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kathompson2nd:
Ya, that's what I started doing but then it affects the battery life. I was averaging about 20-28 hours on a single charge and today I used 4g all day and lost 55% in five hours...but it might be my only choice. I never thought GSM and CDMA were that different. I'm on the second floor of my house 90% of the time and there are no buildings higher then 2 floors for at least 10 blocks. Just thought I'd have a banging signal and download speeds but it isn't horrible, just frustrating.Thanks for the info though ;) learn something new everyday

I need help!! I was told not to flash this rom with CWM so I am curious how should I flash the ROM and what modem should I go with?

Right now I am rooted but have not flashed a single ROM(for the G2) yet cause I'm new to the G2 so I'm kinda nervous so please give me some expert advice!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Hi Ike. Don't let them scare you off.

You need to use CWM to flash any custom ROM. There are a couple of things to be aware of though. Don't use any of the CWM recoveries that have touch recovery built in and also I wouldn't use it to flash any of the ICS builds unless you know what you're doing!!!

Do you have a handle on how it all works? Someone posted a pretty lengthy howto several pages back. It's pretty lengthy but it looks fairly complete and he even posted file links.

Edit: Don't worry about what modem or kernel you want to use right away. It will work fine for you right away. (You should always update your Profile & PRL in settings/about/system updates and reboot the phone after you flash ANY rom or kernel or modem.)

I can't stress enough that every phone is different. One person will have miraculous results with the stock setup and another will have to try different combinations of modems/kernels to achieve the best battery life (like I had to do). Don't believe everything you hear is what I mean.

**UPDATE** Hey Ike I saw you posted over at Calk's ICS thread. I see how you're confused about CWM. Stay with this v2.9.2 rom by Calk for now. The ICS builds are not for newbies and aren't totally stable or complete yet.
