People have been asking about the experience with Calk's 2.8.1 and the rogue 1.5.0 kernel. I wanted to share my experience. First of all, I have it over clocked with setCPU with the ondemand governor to 1.4 max and 0.5 min. I have experienced zero lag and have great battery life. I'm at 56% right now. I love the thing. Still very much on the fence with the touch recovery though.. See attached images.

EDIT: There were ~3 hours where I had my phone in airplane mode for work. Also, atorrent is the best torrent client I've used for android.

In your mods you posted :Notification bar will display TRUE network speeds, 2G(1x) & 3G(EVDO).

I don't see that. Is there someplace I have to turn that on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spongaweb:
Installed ROM manager and installed CWM, but it doesn't overwrite the rogue recovery and cant vol+/pwr boot.. I can only get into cwm through ROM manager.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Quocstazz:
It really depends on your signal. It will switch depends on the strength of your signal. If you have full 3g coverage it'll display 3g if you are in the basement or something like me, the signal would go weak, I'd lose the 3g coverage and the 1x would appear in place of 3g

I waited roughly 15-20 minutes before. As for it being the first bootup, it isnt. It will work fine and then randomly reboot and then goes through the boot animation, then the animation will freeze up and the screen will go dark. I'm starting to think its shutting off, cuz I can hold the power button and it will turn on but the problem is still there. Also i've tried plugging the charger in to see if the light will come on, but it doesnt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
That happened to me before I usually just wipe everything x3 and then flash the rom and let sit and then it finally booted up

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] biggggant:
I just flashed the new rogue and and I am still getting insufficient space error I am trying to avoid wiping
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
This is just a shot in the dark...but might be worth a look.

I noticed after playing with the ROM for a while (several reboots/flashes/moving apps to the SD card...built in function version) that a large part of my DEV partition seemed to be gone for no reason. I later did a full wipe and of course the problem was gone. However, it returned after some more playing around yesterday.

So, in searching the forums I found a free application called DiskUsage.

This application showed me that the lost space was actually in the lost+found directory in the data partition. (Surprised me because long clicking and selecting properties on this folder didn't show that there was much in there.)

So, I deleted all of these unwanted items (looked like about the size of the data I had moved previously to the SD Card) and now the problem is solved again.

Anyway the long moral is that you might want to check your lost+found directory and if that doesn't help you might give this DiskUsage application a try.

Thanks,

Rokair

This might be a stupid question, but I cannot find an answer: Is there a way to change the icons on the launch bar? Move them or replace them?

you can't just longpress to edit them on the Stock TW launcher. you need to go into your app drawer hit menu/edit/switch and then you can move them around. to get back to the standard scrolling go to menu/view type/alphabetical grid.

Noob here - Just did the one click EL29 ODIN root, then installed Rogue Recovery. Can I just flash the zip through recovery, or do I need to install a new kernel first?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TPADroid:
Flashing zip = rom correct? If so, then most ROMs include a kernel with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Art Vandelay:
Thanks - did the flash all, then flashed the ROM - Now stuck at "Samsung Galaxy S II" boot screen. I'll try reflashing. Already pulled battery.

Hey Mike...

I've seen a bunch of people ask for this. Any chance of you making us a flashable zip file to revert back the app draw to stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
When I flash a kernel, does that also mean I have to start over the battery calibration or conditioning each time?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
For a kernel? No. Actually, it's questionable whether battery calibration does any good on Galaxy S2 phones even after a full ROM (which is normally the only time you'd need to consider doing it).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Blu33:
Can I simply uninstall swipe keyboard from /system/app and reboot with out issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I read in a thread here somewhere that if your battery doesn't read 100% when you unplug it, then it 'may' benefit from being calibrated. Not that I believe in such things but will this ROM show 100% battery? I've never seen it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
I actually never re-calibrate mine and I fully wipe and flash calk's rom everytime.

Never noticed any issue, and I always get 20-30hrs of battery time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Same here,as SOON as I unplug I go straight to 99%.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigdsl:
Hey Guys,

Could use some help. I got the ROM on my phone after redownloading the file and installing it. However, I can't access the market (says no connection, but other internet access is possible) and apps that require superuser permission (Roam Control) are claiming the phone needs to be rooted. I tried searching, but this is one long thread. I really like the ROM, but sure do need root access. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] modmandan:
The only time I have ever seen a phone stay at 100% after it's unplugged was my HTC EVO 4G running an SBC kernel. Both my wife and I now have an E4G touch and they both go right to 99% the moment their unplugged, even after calibration. This leads me to believe this is quite normal and nothing to worry about.

And really, what does it matter? The battery always lasts the day for both of us!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
True,it doesn't matter.

I have just always been curious about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sdglenn:
The other day I had high aos with Wi-Fi on or off. I solved my problem. First I perform a fresh flash of Caulk's 2.81 which included a manual wipe of dalvik, system and cache. Then I let it settle for 5 minutes. Updated profile and profile. Rebooted. Then rebooted to recovery and flashed the hitman kernel. Let it settle and now also doesn't even show on the battery state page.

I believe we believe the flash of rom and or kernel was good. When it maybe less than 100%. We see small signs and ignore them just because the phone booted.

Note: this is the same rom kernel combo giving me the high also on the battery status
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Logically, this is proper behavior. The instant you unplug the battery, you are USING the battery, so its not possible for it to be 100% charged.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
I figured that also I don't see how everyone who said that after calibration they stayed at 100 I always went to 99%

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigdsl:
Anybody know why I lost root access by flashing this ROM, and how I can get it back? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
How did you flash it did you use the full wipe zip and then flash the rom because I have never lost root access unless you are root it again

Sent from my mistress
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
This also has to do with the phone discharging the battery while it's plugged in. It helps to minimize wear on the batter due to maintaining a high voltage constantly. If you time it just right (or by a freak chance) you might unplug it and see the battery drop to 98% if it's going through a discharge cycle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigdsl:
I wiped first with Calkulin's modified zip then flashed in recovery from zip on sd card. Flashed Maddoggin's ROM the same way prior to this one and out worked fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That's another reason I use Battery Calibration app...not so much to calibrate. When battery is full its around 4180-4190 mV. If you leave it plugged in when its fully charged, you will see it drop some. I think this is to protect the battery from overcharge damage

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisingrassia:
Hi folks, I figured I would post my question in here since it still deals with Calkulins and hoping someone is gracious enough to help me out.

I am currenty running UnNamed 2.0.1 on GB 2.3.6, baseband EK02, kernel 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL13-CL806482. I am rooted, and have been denying the OTA update to EL29 based on info I've read that I can't do it unless all I did was root and nothing else (i've flashed a clock removal zip from the status bar, designed by playya). Plus, I've read some horrendously awful experiences on this phone with the Samsung EL29 update.

But now I'm in a pickle, because I found a great B&W theme by banksmi09 that I want to run, but it's apparently based off EL29 and I would need to run Calkulin's 2.8.1 ROM to use it. I guess my question is: how do I go back to the point in which I can get rid of UnNamed and flash Calkulin's? If his ROM is EL29-based, and I'm still EK02/EL13, what's the easiest procedure to accomplish this? I'm pretty new to rooting and understanding technical terms, but do my best to solve questions on my own. This I'm stumped on though. Is there a way to upgrade to EL29 without doing the OTA?

Thanks for any help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nitronet:
Does anyone know which file to remove from the ROM to get rid of the rotation animation? Or is there a zip to flash that does this?

I like the CRT animation but I still get the upside down backwards image on the screen once in a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neverends:
All you need to do is download the el29 modem zip... install through recovery...then install calkulins 2.8.1.

Just make a nadroid backup and make sure you wipe everything...

So

1. Nandroid

2. Install el29 modem

3. Wipe dalvik cache.. cache... and data (or install calk's wipe all)

4. Install calkulins
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neverends:
I think the new crt off zip already disables rotation.

You can also use spare parts to speed up animation speed to resolve the problem

Ok just checking I've been trying to get some better battery life because I have been averaging 12-13 hrs normal use. I installed Setcpu and the 100 undervolt and different kernels but still same or worse but then I came across this thread that someone posted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312273

What I did though is:

1. Turn the phone off and charge it overnight

2. Remove the battery for 3-5 minutes.

3. Reinstall the battery, poweron and wait a couple of minutes

4. Charged it again (suprised it took like 25-30+ minutes to become fully charged again)

5. Repeat step 4 after leaving it off charge for a couple of minutes

Something reset because I've been using the phone lightly for about 8 hours and its only down to 75% right now. This is only the first cycle but we're trying to get every ounce out of our phones right? :D

(Current test setup: SetCpu 800/200 conservative, 100 undervolt installed, EL02 Kernel, EL13 Modem)

No, you sir need to read and understand the XDA Mantra. No matter what you want to think/believe/contrive, XDA-Developers does not exist for you to ask when a new update to your FREE ROM is coming. XDA-Developers always has been and always will be for the Developers.

Let's break this down a little bit here - XDA is....

XDA is a developers site

XDA is a free forum you are ALLOWED to use. We could make it invite only

XDA is and always will be about the developers. And before you say without the users there would be no XDA, Bull****, who do you think used the stuff before normal people even knew what a smartphone was......wait for it.........other developers. People that could give good feedback with relevant info. Not just "dahhh this is broken, please fix".

XDA is not....

XDA is not a place to come and make your phone cool.

XDA is not the cool place for idiots to hang out.

XDA is not your friends house

XDA is not a democracy

XDA is not a place to make Money.

Now I think that should clear up anyone else asking about ETAs.... Next person who asks gets a short vacation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I understand the mantra. The man asked if "anyone" knew when it was coming out. A simple question because he may not have time to read the whole thread to see if calk said when he was going to drop. Maybe calk came in yesterday and said, "Hey guys, I should have an update tomorrow." Now if he had directed it specifically to him, I can understand it being frowned upon. I mean come on. You quoted my response to a rude member as if I bashed the man. It was a light hearted statement to "calm down" and answer him with out being a Jerk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Jerdog's bark has some bite so pay attention to that warning!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neverends:
Nowhere in the above list does it say we can't be civilized to one another... Even in a non democratic dictatorship people can treat one another with respect. There is no reason to disrespect people regardless of what forum this is.

Jerdog, I was under the impression that admins are here to maintain civility no add fuel to the fire....

I know you are an admin and you are taking time out of your schedule to do so but authoritarian rulers even have some pity for their petty subjects. This is Calkulin's thread for what he has developed... people in this thread discuss the performance, the bugs, the solutions to problems and also future versions. He simply asked a question which other members may be willing to answer. And I am sure other people would have warned him to not ask for eta's in the future.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

I've been awaiting the new rom as well ever since I went back to rooted stock el29 a couple weeks ago. I kept telling myself to not flash this current rom because 2.9 will be here any second. I've been checking Cal's post and I see he hasn't been posting for like a week. Must be busy with real life stuff...but I'm sure when he does drop 2.9 it will be worth it. Looking fwd to the inclusion of that GPS fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
all bs aside, i have missed updates to this rom cause they were ONLY posted in a post from calk in this thread. op was updated later on but still the guy just asked a question and a simple "when op"s ready" would do. glad acs dont have d-bags like xda has including some mods that need to set a example of how to act.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neverends:
that's exactly what I did - But I gave up and reinstalled 2.8.1 last night... no one would be asking when 2.9 is coming out if Calkulin had not posted 2.9 was coming out on January 30th. He posted it on Monday and I figured it would be out by Sunday... but wow was I wrong!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interhawk1:
Can I get a mirror to the latest update. Links don't work for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coke32:
So how exactly do I go about using them then? Like say I want to be using the 800 settings. Sorry if I'm not being very clear -_-
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
My apologies - I wasn't meaning to address you specifically. I know your reply was meant to keep things calm. I quoted you as part of the thread to identify the different ways of response. I guess I didn't make that clear.

It only adds fuel to the fire if you are already incendiary. The point here is that ETAs are NEVER ok to ask. Period. That should be known - and is pretty much a mantra in it's own right in the Dev community. We are for the developers, and when a developer's hard work is being begged for more, we will step in and action accordingly.

Now - let's move on and wait patiently for Calkulin to work his magic when he has time. He has kids and a family and a job too.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
Really you have a couple options here...out of the box there isn't really an 800 setting except for when the battery is below 35% or the screen is off.

The easy way to change this is to purchase and download one of the products from the Market such as SetCPU. This will provide you with a GUI that will show you exactly how to change the settings either all at once or with profiles (so you can have different speeds with different conditions).

If you are a developer you can modify the script included with the phone to meet your needs without running or purchasing an extra program. The files are in the /etc/init.d folder on your phone. Once in there this isn't very difficult but really if you don't know what you are doing I would not recommend it. (If you do than please no offense it is just that one could get there phone stuck in a boot loop requiring a wipe if this was done incorrectly.)
