Agreed, I swear my phone would take a month to completely discharge if data was off the whole time lol. Data disconnecting and reconnecting all day romps my battery. I more or less just leave data off anymore and turn it on as needed, unless I'm in an area with solid signal. If you're not using Blazers extended toggles, the data on/off widgets do the trick for me.

Just flashed v3.0 from rooted stock el29. Used calks format all, then flashed rom, then flashed enable rotation animation, then restarted phone. Everything is running great but I have noticed significant lag on TW launcher when I am on a different screen than my home screen and I hit the home button. Even worse than stock el29. Anyone else experience this? Any fix for this?

I know it's minimal issue but annoying nonetheless. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
Never had that issue myself, I only had some lag issues when running Gunslinger kernel and underclocking while undervolting which sort of explains itself haha. Since you just flashed and probably havent set too much up, maybe just try to reflash. I know it probably doesn't make a difference but I usually run the format all script twice just to be safe; flash memory can be finicky sometimes in my experience (or maybe that's just the few screws loose in my head). If you reflash don't flash any scripts afterwards, just boot up and see how it runs. Also maybe try the stock EL29 kernel repacked with rogue recovery and see if that helps. I'm sure a real dev can shed some more light on the issue; I'm just a flashaholic who tries to help the best I can! Report back with your findings, it may help others. Cheers, buddy!

Rebooting the phone a couple of times usually clears that up.

Flashed the stock el29 kernel and it seems to run much smoother. Now, regarding the battery saver scripts, in the OP it states: "Can be used with any kernels that have init.d support." Does stock el29 kernel support this? Thanks again.

Calkulin 3.0 GB Extended Toggles

I have a treat for everyone.

Calk 3.0 GB extended toggles ported over from Blazer GB. All new icons and keeping with the stock color scheme. Included are the stock systemui & framework files. Please let me know if I missed something. :) Cheers - TD

Please make a backup of your rom first of course, just in case.

So how is ICS goin 4 U?

Getting good battery life like this?:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
Ha just kidding the photo was a EL26 fluke not accurate it was actually half so the actual photo is the small one :)

I was on EL26 which is actually nice but jumping ship to try EL13 as my suspicions are that it is better for battery than EL26 and maybe better than EL29 but dunno yet...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
After all the waiting and drama, ICS for the E4GT has been pretty disappointing. The fact that they would release it with known issues after the long wait and the battery life is still a big problem that may or may not be fully resolved really bothers me. I'm pretty burnt out, devs are leaving for the new phones where the challenge and excitement of working on something new is still there and GB is still here for us holding it's own against the odds. LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Thanks for this, the toggle zip I understand, the other zip I don't understand, is it in case something breaks? Or do I have to flash both of these zips to have the toggles?

Also I'm running Calks 2.9.2 el29 ics theme zip.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Hey PP. The stock systemui & Framework are so anyone can return to stock Calk if they want to. Also, these should work with the older versions of this rom (I saw you're on 2.9.2).

Flashing the toggles I posted will break any theme you have installed. I did post the stock blazer toggles here a few days ago with all of the ICS blue icons and theming:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29131272&postcount=11355

These 2 files, systemui & framework are pretty important to the rom so backup what you have first before trying it out.

update system notification

I am on calkulin's GB rom now.. today I started getting the system update notification to FF18 ICS.. it keeps coming back..

If I let it update my phone what happens?

how is the Calkulin ICS ROM compared to this.. battery life? bugs? features?

it seems like calkulin is busy with his new phone and does not have time for GS2

Maybe I should go with the Blazer ICS ROM?

what do you guys think..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Back on this rom lol... tried aokp and cm 9 all with the same setup and everything and nothing comes close to this... maybe when we can underclock, undervolt ad switch to more govs the ill give ics another try... until then I'm on this rom...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:
Yup... this is still my daily too. I flash ics roms all the time but I keep coming back to calks 3.0 It just works. Everything works. Battery life is ridiculously long. I wish there where more themes, specifically a sense theme, but there's no serious complaint that can be made about this Rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Lol there's a thread in the general forum that explains how to not get that ics update notification
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:
Calk releases all kinds of roms for all kinds of phones. I wouldn't count it out of the question for him to update unless he said so. Maybe its wishful thinking.... as far as my battery life goes I'm getting about a 13 hour battery life with heavy usage. I have to use Google navigation all day at work and since I'm still kinda new to Houston I live on Facebook. Then my woman is texting me all day and this might as well be a company phone as much as they call me. I'm using the stock el29 with no cwm using the aggressive script clocked at 200-800 with the el29 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
I was under the impression you couldn't adjust the cpu min -max while you have the script on... your not seeing any lag or shutters? I'm using the kkernel without the tweaks and I'm at 5. 5 hrs off charger with 1. 5 hours screen time and 34% left and this is my second charge.. I might use the tweaks tomorrow and see how they go...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
You can edit the tweak script with root explore file and change the cpu min and max numbers and such.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Niceee... ill definitely do that later... like keeping mine at 800 max 200 min
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:
Exactly! And no. No shutters or anything. Even with I play scramble with friends. I'm deepsleeping a lot too! I leave it off the charger at night and charge it during the day in my truck. Works well enough. Tried to upload a screenshot but it says I'm not allowed for some strange reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Yea I just flashed the tweaks, then went into the init to the scaling script and changed it from max 1.0 to 800 so I'm going to leave it like that and see how it goes... thanks again for the help...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Np just giving back what I know and learned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xb0n3z:
I agree,

I've been on Stock FF18, Blue Kuban, Goodness, Taste of GSIII, and frankly I'm tired of the horrible battery life and other misc bugs that wonderful sprint has blessed us with.

The custom ROMs are amazing and the features are plentiful and it's not their fault that FF18 sux bawls.:eek:

I'm about 30 minutes away from going back to GB and Calkulin's 3.0. I never had better battery life with any other rom.. I dont tweak anything, just defaults and go.... Yes, I'm tired of the SETCPU and governors and voltage yada yada.. too much work on the phone, rather than work "with" the phone.

What does ICS have anyways that this RoM doesn't have?

Anyways, it's back to GB for me.. Stupid Sprint... (I dont blame Samsung because all the other ICS's for the other carriers work fine). :good: :good:

Try this one from our friend Overstew. The last Page of the thread says it will work on any deodexed EL29 Rom. I didnt try the link but if it's not working send Overstew a pm. Remember stock roms are odexed so don't try to flash a theme on a stock rom

Link not working. Let me try again. Try this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1322272

I tried the link. Unfortunately it has been deleted from dev host. Maybe someone has the file or try to pm Overstew. My personal favorite GB rom is Strongsteve's Blue odexed. It's already themed which is preferable to flashing a theme on a stock rom anyway which sometimes breaks things. It is still being supported. Blu Kuban EL29 is great too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IceCatraz:
The Calk.2.9.2 EL29 ICS2.5.zip download does work - it's the same one the memember posted about. I'm actually enjoying Calk's 3.0 Rom, so I'd like to stay on it if at all possible, even if it means making my own theme (I am a seasoned graphic designer, I just don't know much about themes on this platform, though I don't think it'd be too hard to figure out.)

I'll try this one out, and see if it works. I'll make another nandroid back up just in case, but I have faith in this one. Thanks for the headsup - I'll look more into Overstew's work as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IceCatraz:

I know nothing about theming but there are plenty of folks on XDA that will help you out. Hats off to you for first doing plenty of research so you knew what to do before you ever flashed a new Rom, and now you are talking about learning to do a little of your own theming.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
You can download it and even try to install it but it will fail to install. It won't hurt anything though and won't break your phone. In theory if you are stock EL29 with stock kernel, if all you did was root and made no other changes, the OTA should work. However if you removed anything or install any root apps that might have changed something that the update checks for, it will fail.
