Sweet.

Okay, I'm relatively new to the epic 4g touch area. I've been reading for about a month and I'm thinking I've got it pretty well down. I came from the HTC Hero CDMA forum and I've noticed the Devs in here are given significantly less credit and thanks than in the other forums I have read. I just wanted to remind everyone that they're doing this on their free time and really don't have to. XDA is an awesome community and it sucks to see people take it for granted.

Now that I have said that, I wanna thank Calkulin for this rom. This thing is quick and so far, I haven't run into any really notable problems. I used the stock modem that came with my phone (EK02) and foolishly thought I could get better data speeds through the use of another modem. So, I tried out EL29, EL26, EL13 and ended up just going back to EK02 as it was fastest. I'm really looking forward to 2.8x as the volume rocker long press was my favorite part of the aosp roms on the Hero forums. Good work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evoholik:
+1on volume rockers. UnNamed rom has it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Riptide9:
Yep! That would be me... I have my own modded a little with some of my stuff from the EVO ;) But I am waiting for ICS to come out before I put any real effort into it. I'm just lurking for now :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erik077:
I just wiped everything and not working...always returns with (bad) installation aborted

I tried several files:

Calk 2.7 EL26 ICS 2.1.zip

Shiftr182-TW_ICS-v1.0.zip

ICSDOMINATIONv2.zip

ICS EK02 Calk DeOdexed.zip

GlassThemev1.5.zip

ClearGlassPortEL13.zip

None of them work for me....

At end it piss me off and i used format all but error is same...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidSPCS:
Yes I just noticed that today - Sprint Zone auto-installed itself this afternoon.

Seems Sprint somehow checks for this apk and if it's not there, it pushes it automatically.

Very strange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Rename your folder. No symbols
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erik077:
Folder renamed to ZIP and tried to re-flash every of those files (did wipe all), and still same error. Grrrrrrrr <--- me getting mad !
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Did you wipe the data & system too? They won't install without a ROM...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
Did you download the themes to your PC or from your phone? If from the phone, I would try and grab them on your PC and then transfer to the phone via USB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] journeyman73:
Why not try re-installing the recovery you are using via Odin...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erik077:
I tried every possible combination, but ROM is here and as last attempt I am going to format all and re-flash rom. If that fails, going back to stock.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
Will flashing Rogue Stock EL26 kernel on Calk's v2.8 (EL29) cause any issues or FC's? I'm assuming not correct? Currently running all EL29 modem/rom/kernel. I think i got better battery life on EL26 rom/kernel, but I would like to retain all the newer features of the v2.8 rom so I was curious.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
Naw I done that before flashed different modem/from/kernel and didn't really any problems

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Will 2.8.X be an update zip?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Based on your pic, that install was against a wiped system. Calk's format all deletes ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erik077:
I moved zip file from external sd card to internal storage and it works. Thanks to anyone who replied and tried to help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
Yup you're right. He flashed Calk's format all then went and tried to flash the theme. Im curious to know what his phone boots into.

Erik, first flash Format all, then Calk's rom. Reboot and make sure its running ok. Then go back into recovery and wipe chache and Delvik chache then flash a theme. Reboot and see if everthing it ok.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

GAAAHHHH. I wish you would've told us that they were stored on the external first. I believe you have to mount that in recovery for it to work. I would always flash files from the internal in the future BTW. Anyways glad u got it working!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BDR456:
@Riptide9

Dude, i rocked the hell out of your theme. Look forward to you putting something together for us over here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I was just about to post that exact suggestion..its worked for me in the past when I had a similar issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Riptide9:
Thanks!!! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
v2.8.x - Coming soon

Volume rockers can now be used to skip music tracks when screen is off

Removed mandatory Exchange security policy

Could you please make this "skip music tracks" work with Music2.apk aka Google Music as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
if your bluetooth headset can change tracks of those players then youll be likely to know itll work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guardianali:
Im running 2.6 right now...can i just wipe cache and dalvik to update to 2.8 or is a full wipe needed as its using a different base?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
U can just wipe cache I heard full wipe wasn't needed

Sent from my mistress
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
On the upcoming update, on the volume rocker future to skip songs, will that remove volume control when phone is locked? Also, does it just work with stock music player or any player?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
I have flashed everything (roms, kernels, and modems) all from external without a problem. Now that I think about, I did have a problem with wifi after flashing EL13, EL26 and back to EK02. Had to end up odining back to EG30 and take EK02 OTA to resolve. I'll try that next time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I store everything I flash on my external. I can't for the life of me understand why that would be a bad idea. It has never been a problem for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
No, usually with that feature, long press of the up volume key will advance forward by one track and long press down will advance one in reverse. Quick presses will still control volume.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Oh OK thanks, that sounds better. Pretty cool then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
cause its not a bad idea, im with you and never have a issue unless i create it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] journeyman73:
+1... Doesn't really matter where you store your zips be it internal or external.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
FYI, that was not the issue, there must have been another unmentioned/ unnoticed factor. I have only ever flashed from external microSD since end of 2009 so I can pretty confidently say there is no issue with that.

The definite issue you were having was using Format_All before flashing a theme. That left nothing for the theme to theme. Technically you should not need to wipe anything when flashing a theme, but definitely no more than cache and dalvik cache.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
Its not my apps, my wifi sleep policy has always been set to always on, Ive installed this room from a full, complete and thorough wipe, and I NEVER install system data. And clearly, im not the only one. So, you just happen to be lucky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
There is no luck. There are only factors. Evidently you are overlooking one or more of them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I2izzo:
+1. I'm sure its differences beyond our control. Still an outstanding ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
Factors? You must be new to flashing if you think all modems/radios, kernels, and ROMS act the same on ALL phones. They dont. That is fact. The fact that my flashing process has been the exact same from 2.5.1 and up, and ive only gotten battery drain (Like many others) once I went to an all EL29 setup says alot. Soooooooooo?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] studdmufin:
is this a good amount of battery for this ROM? Android OS CPU total was about 3 hours. Display was about 1.5 hours. And about 3 hours of streaming music... I see all you others that get a lot longer and i'm jealous. The first 4-5 hours of my batterythe phone was idle in my pocket for class
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
It's approximately what I get, and I am also jealous of others. Shrug. I usually get 10-12 hours with 3hrs on screen, or 12-14 with 1-2 hrs on screen. If I unplug it when I go to sleep and only read brief emails all day I can get 26 hours, woop! :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
It looks like you recharged as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killhr:
lmao good catch!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
@ studdmufin (lol) in pocket could also mean phone was polling for a signal which will also eat battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejdavis:
*I'm getting soft reboots daily on 2.8 Rom*....I came from new Rom did factory reset, wipes and Calls format all. Everything works great accept for soft reboots. Especially during calls...el29 kernel and modem....??????????????

FIREFOX ISSUE

same here, Firefox just force closes when run

so i uninstalled and tried to reinstall, firefox doesnt show in the market for me either

i went to mobile firefox website,they had a link for android app, it took me to market to the program, but said Firefox is not compatible with my device <-- for some reason I dont think thats true lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Actually, wake lock is a built in function to some apps. When you see the permission "keep phone from going to sleep" that's wakelock. A lot of apps have it, so when you're using them, the phone doesn't go to sleep on you. The problem is sometimes even when you press the power button to put your phone to sleep, that app doesn't release the wakelock, so all you did was turn your screen off. The phone is still running as if it were awake, and it drains your battery a lot faster than normal.

What you're referring to is the phone doing something with the external SD card. You can see the difference for yourself if you simply remove the external SD card, then see how fast your phone wakes up compared to with it in the slot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Thanks for the advice man. I'll go ahead and do the wipe manually, will skip the format all zip and flash rom. I was the one having the bootloop on the lockscreen issue. It's definitely a keeper. Great ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Yeah, just wiped cache/dalvik. Might need to skip calk's full wipe format and just the wipe manually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
thanks I had it backwards...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yes that's what I was referring to. Screen could not wake up and app could struggle to go so sleep properly so you just have a phone with screen off but with services struggling to close. Just woke up...hope that made sense. Usually people can't undervolt overclocked frequencies much because they need it for stability. They go big on the 1200,1000, 800, 600, and take it a little easier on the lower freqs especially the lowest. Honestly Calkulin probably has the best performance /battery life combo already figured out but all Samsungs are different. Ask any Epic owner. There was NEVER a set of undervolt values that work on everyone's phones. Test apps that play video or games when testing overclock/undervolt stability as well as making sure your phone wakes right up after a few hours like when you wake up. I could overclock my OG Epic more than most but struggled with even -25 undervolt. If games or videos don't work properly, check undervolt before blaming it on the ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I swear this rom gets faster the more you use it, love it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
This happenes to me after i did a titanium backup restore. I had to rewipe and reflash making sure to manually wipe and clear things, works now. Do you have a launcher defaulted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trim81:
Anyone getting los on this rom??

I switched to stock kernel with no more LOS and now itching to switch away from stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Don't have a launcher defaulted. Will do a full wipe manually now. Glad I'm not the only one with this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
Thank you! God that's annoying when looking through the call logs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yungfresh:
So which battery script works the best for lonher battery life? Im tempted to try the -100mv any feedback for those that already flashed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Had same thing, so i formatted system, wiped data and caches and actually ran his format all zip after just for the hell of it before flashing . After it booted up i defaulted my launcher right away, waited a min and rebooted, all was well. TB restore worked after that, apps only of course . Not sure if it was the manual wipes or the defaulting launcher, but neither hurts :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigkmoney:
Been running -100 for about 12 hours. So far so good. No reboots and performance seems the same as when is was using -50.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
I would just use setcpu. Ive been testing for couple days on this rom. The battery script works and helps for sure. I tested from a full charge this rom with just the stock battery script and I got 3:40 min on screen time and 17 hours before the phone had 1 percent. Then I downloaded setcpu, manually undervolted 75mv and set min, max mhz to 200 and 800. I jumped to 4:30 min screen time 24 hours to a charge. Pretty good, I got roughly an hour extra screen on time.

Phone still runs extremely smooth at 800 mhz with thia rom. I really see no reason to up the mhz unless gaming. Its wonderful :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aiverson23:
This didnt fix it for me. Any suggestions for apps not recognizing the SD card (other than file explorers)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
yea I have been running my phone at 800mhz as well since my stock rooted rom and I have seen no ill effects and I can get at least a day and a half out to my phone. My best results came after draining the battery all the way down and then recharging fully
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steelersmb:
Do you need to uninstall the script if using SetCPU?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
If setcpu is detected the script is ignored

can you rephrase the question cause not sure what your asking?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
+1 glad to see it wasn't just me. After I got the force close I cleared data for logs provider and restarted. Haven't had any issues since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think everyone's battery percent will vary depending on what time they unplugged the phone and how they used it. Mine right now says charging. Anyone else? lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beseenwithgreen:
I always keep my whole battery in the phone so that would be 100% for this ROM or any other Rom for that matter....:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
The only difference between your phone and mine is how you flashed, what you flashed, what you installed/uninstalled, and your settings. I notice 2 important things that you have done different from me, just in your previous post. I am sure there is much more. Your argumentative comments are really funny but please stop. My sides are killing me. LMFAO

Yeah, I'm new to flashing. That's why I have been a member here for a year longer than you, have twice as many posts and my thanks meter is considerably higher than yours, by a landslide. I hate to even bring such trivial matters up but, you called me out.

Your question should not be, "what is wrong with the ROM?", but, "what am I doing differently than someone else, who is getting better battery life on the same ROM?".

You speak of "fact" but, without factors, you have no grounds to call anything fact. If you take 2 identical phones and treat them in the same exact fashion, they will act the same, unless there is a hardware failure. Show me an example of this not being true. You can't, because there is no such example. Everyone installs different apps to their phones. some flash using the format all zip and think it is the end all answer. Some uninstall parts of the ROM that they don't use and know drain battery life. Some set their brightness lower. It's all user factors.

THAT

is fact. Your definition of "fact" scares me, since there is an election coming up, you may be on jury duty one day, or may one day be teaching our youth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guardianali:
Having trouble with camera. The stock app works great to take pics and videos. But certain other third party apps from market place while take pics fine, the video they shot comes out pure green and all massively distorted. The sound is ok. The video is not.

Is this a know issue? Any fixes?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trim81:
I am not able to update programs from market either. Force closes.

What's the fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I have had a couple reboots since installing the Blue glass theme with lock mod. Others have as well. Something about the lock mod framework is not sitting well. That's one of the reasons why it's a WIP, I believe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] basketthis:
Updating from the market just fine over here... Everything on this rom seems to work great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
The only 2 density's that will download all apps from the market are 240 and 160. Other settings will give you that issue with a lot of apps. After changing to one of the density's above, you might need to clear market data after the reboot so it see's the new setting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
Could just be me but I'm running 2.3.6 ota rooted and I've flashed this ROM 7 times and each time my phone will boot up in rogue recovery mode. It will not boot the phone. Damned green recovery is making me sick. Anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
That might be the strangest issue I've ever read. Can you flash another ROM and boot into it?

I've seen not being able to boot past splashcreens and boot animations, booting into black screens, bootloops, even no boot, but since recovery is an active selection, I've never seen what you're describing. This will be an interesting issue to research.

Can you share your exact flashing process?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
After the ROM installs and I hit reboot system now. It reboots right back into Team Rogue Recovery every time. Battery pull and the same thing.

Process:

1. Flash the format all script

2. Then flash the ROM

And yes I just flashed Madoggin's ROM and it works fine.

Yes I am still on the blue glass. The reboots have been few enough that it doesn't bother me too much. I am of the same opinion on ics themes. I'm just waiting to try out the ones on tnz ROM. They look good on the PC screen. I'll backup and give them a whirl when I get home and do some reading on the thread. Kingofthejungle mentioned that he is going to be updating some of the glass themes this week. Looking forward to those. :)
