I've been complaining about this bug for a while now. It's weird. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Setting alarm via voice..

I don't know if this has been addressed before, I tried searching and got nothing. When using voice actions, I can hold down the search button and say, "Set alarm for 3:00PM". It recognizes it and displays a screen that allows me to click set or cancel, but when I press set, it goes to a black screen and never sets the alarm.

This happened in 2.8 as well.. is there a way to fix this?

Back again with some more MS Exchange issues...

1. I had a sub folder under my Inbox that used to inform me when new emails would arrive there, I have a filter setup to make certain emails go to that folder. I no longer am notified of emails in this folder. How do I keep that folder synced automatically?

2. The folder I just talked about has not been updated since around 2PM yesterday. In Outlook, the folder is working just fine.

For some reason even thought did all the formatting steps my boot screen says galaxy does that mean its not fully installed? I know Calkulin's has all those colored squares for his boot screen.

There is a new boot screen.

Can you please explain? You mean new as in no more colored squares?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Not really sure what there is to explain...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enp82003:
I am sorry... I guess do you mean by new did the author change the boot screen to the Galaxy logo one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
That was pretty obvious. With new versions come changes. Not understanding why this is a big deal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enp82003:
I guess... I didn't download it to update. I downloaded it to reinstall because of a phone replacement.

So i thought it was the same version as i originally had.

Speaking of clock issues... Apparently its since i switched to this Rom, worked on stock. ---any way to set up a click on clock widget to go to the clock app, for setting alarms and what not?

Use mClock or Beautiful Widgets

Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II with XDA Premium
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
I thought those clock widgets killed a lot more battery then the stock one? I could be completely wrong i just thought i read that somewhere haha.

Very conscience about battery life. Even deleted the Facebook widget cause it was taking an extra 4% an hour :-P now i can go about 2 1/2 days of decent usage with a single charge. Very impressed and im loving it.

Thanks again Calk, you're the man!!

So the reason i was reluctant to switch to 2.8 was the limit applied to MMS files... I still went with 2.8 and it is better... but can anyone tell me if there is a way to re-increase the MMS file size limit?

I searched on this, but didn't get a lot of hits. Calk, have you looked into changing the media settings where it always sets the volume to a low default level when listening to music?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vulcZ:
I just found out a small issue/bug that I'm unsure of how to fix. I've been installing updates over a fully functional ROM for a while now. Basically, I haven't been wiping my phone and starting over every time I update to a new version of this ROM. Things have been great except for having to clear the data of certain apps so they work properly again.

So here's my issue. When I go to try and add a new widget, I don't see all of my apps with widgets listed. This happens in GoLauncher EX as well as TouchWiz. Only certain widgets show up, but not all of them. I was able to fix it by removing the app who's widget I want to install, and then reloading the app.

Is there some kind of cache or something that I could clear that might fix this issue? The problem is that I don't know which widgets are missing, and it's bugging me :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
I don't know about a widget cache, but I'd check to see if any of your widgets are stored on the SD card. They don't like to be stored anywhere else than internal memory (but not the internal SD card).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Very unlikely as these are source code changes to the kernel and the userland apps. The ROMs from Sprint and other carriers don't include source for the userland apps and framework, making a project like this very unlikely.

However, I wouldn't be surprised for CyanogenMod to release a version including these changes.

Is there anything else you did to get it to work. Mine will sometimes switch to unknown area but then it won't switch to my work area or sometimes it will stay in my work area even though I've traveled 20-30 minutes away. Also, do you use the map location option at all?

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Multiple people have reported it working again, including me. Make sure you enable polling. I have it polling every 5 minutes, and I do NOT have the options for turn screen on or wake device when polling enabled.

I updated from 2.7 to 2.8.1 and I'm having touch screen freezes when scrolling through homes screens a lot, and a touchwiz force close. I reflashed the rom and tried again with the same results.

Do I need to update to 2.8 first? The 2.8 download link isn't working unfortunately. I usually have no problems updating this rom. I'd rather not go through the process of a full wipe and reinstallation of everything for just an incremental update...so for now I'm back on 2.7 thanks to nandroid. I'm open to suggestions though.

the battery stats actually get wiped after each time you unplug the charger. It only affects the battery usage menu

You don't have to install 2.8 first. You should be able to install without wiping anything. Might try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Okay guys I really love this rom but a stuck using TnzBlend or unamed because only with this rom it gives me both the insufficient space error no matter if I flash rogue stock kernel or desperado kernel. Also I get that stupid error when I am in the market and try to go to My Apps it says "apps and games owned by this account will appear here". I have tried as many "fixes" as I could read up and find but none are working on this rom. I tried using a theme or not using a them, and yes I had completely wiped everything too. I have tried not using titanium back up and not even installing the app to begin with but then I cant download apps because it says I ran out of space. Anyone know what this could be?

Well, we just spent hours doing some testing. The version I have has the extended toggles, lockscreen mod, rotation ani, but NO CRT... the version 6.4 in his thread does have the CRT included. It looks great as well but I am a perfectionist! I couldn't have even one inverted or backward image....one min for link to 6.4. I am sure Banksmi will share the framework Res to push for no CRT if there's a demand for it...EDIT...6.4 is new update. I can't share the no CRT framework Res without Banksmi's permission ...he will probably post it tomorrow anyway.

Battery Life

I'm having an issue with battery life with this rom.. I can't get just a few hours with minimal-moderate use. I flashed the ROM via wipe data/format all then flashed ROM. I'm also running the stock kernel that came with the rom as well.

My question is do I have to flash one of the battery saver script zips or something else before I will see a battery life improvement? Or is there anything i'm missing?? :mad::mad::mad:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chogbonna:
I'm not exactly sure, how do I check that. And is there a certain modem i'm supposed to flash?

And yeah I did forget to mention that I charged my battery up to 100% and did a wipe battery stats.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
settings/about phone/baseband, its good to try different kernels/modems and you can also mismatch. i use EG31 modem and EL29 kernel.

btw its also said by google engineer that wiping battery stats is not a good idea.

Im wondering if it is from my switch to the desperado kernel.

Before it seemed if I was losing 2% and hour or so with light usage, now it seems as if i'm losing 3 or 4% an hour.

Can anyone who has used both the stock and Desperado chime in?

I was a bit confused about how recovery works on Samsung vs HTC, at first. You don't actually 'install' a custom recovery like CWM permanently via an exploit (or HTCdev... still waiting on Shift support for my gf... grrr)... Recovery is part of the kernel, I believe. The Epic 4g Touch page on Rootzwiki is the easiest guide, grab Odin and a .tar, flash it and reboot, pick out the ROM you wanna try and flash it... insanely simple. Once I had everything prepped on my netbook (Samsung drivers and Odin) I had Calkulin's set up in like 10 mins. Crazy easy!
