I did wipe everything. Ran Cal's wipe also. Still, the power button doesn't work while running the ROM. I just reflashed it and it still doesn't work.

Ideas?

I have the opposite issue. My power button works in recovery but won't work while running a rom. Tried other roms and still same issue.

Can anyone tell me why the os is burning up so much battery, its at 45% after 3hours off the charger?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
If you just installed the ROM, this isn't out of the ordinary. You need for the phone to settle for it to read the battery correctly. Typically takes a couple of days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jjwalker2:
tdunham, thanks for the reply. I already have the HDMI cable and thought his was a ROM development question, my question is if the ROM supports HDMI since I have not been able to get a signal to my plasma. I had this issue before with EVO ROMs and there were different kernels that supported it or I had to use hdmwin to mirror. So basically my question is...is HDMI output is supported with this ROM?

I have got the HDMI to work so this ROM does support it. Thanks again!

Install betterbatterystats and badass battery monitor.

Betterbatterystats can be found free for xda members somewhere here, do a search. It is best for figuring out what is sucking down the battery while the phone is idle. To use it, the phone needs to be idle for at least a couple of hours. Check kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks to see what the problem program(s) are.

Try those 2 tools and then we can go from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yitzter:
Just curious, did you use Calks Format All tool before flashing the rom?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
What modem are you running? I used to have issues with Android OS eating up my battery, always topping display even with 1.5 hours or more of screen time. Right now I'm running the FC22 modem with this rom and I get GREAT battery life with 2+ hours screen time and no android OS drain. FC15 and FC18 also worked well for me, FC22 seems to be the best though. Happy flashing and dont forget you always need to give it a few days to settle into the phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I agree with everybody, I guess we should know what version of everything you're running.

You should probably be as close to stock as possible. (Meaning stock kernels and the stock modems EG thru EL). Also, you're not having any loss of signal areas are you? A very weak signal will cause the phone to boost power to try to connect to a tower. (Gone offshore fishing, forgot to turn the phone off and it was dead by the time I remembered)

You can also try this method to calibrate the battery:

1. Power off, charge to 100%

2. Remove battery for 3-5 minutes

3. After putting battery back in, power into recovery and wipe battery stats

4. Boot up, then once it's settled in, plug it back in until it's fully charged again (could take 30+ mins)

Also, rather than fight with it, why not just redownload the rom (just in case) and reflash it. It would probably be easier than spending any more time chasing ghosts. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
No biggy dude. Just stay away from all of those ICS releases, especially if you're new. Like I said, it's pretty easy to flash one of these roms and if something isn't working right, sometimes it's easier to just start fresh. Also, don't do anything fancy like modems or kernels until you are certain the install works perfectly (and backup a working fresh working install so you have it, I do frequent backups). Then you can experiment later... tweaking, flashing different modems and kernels.

SO CRT is "back" in the rom by default? I don't need the CRT ON zip anymore?

also anyone tried the FC24 modem yet? results?

also I want to KEEP go launcher but run the bare converter I opened the remove_apps file and removed the go launcher entries.

this was correct right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
It was reenabled in v2.9.1 as that is the way I run it, so you don't need the enable zip anymore. For the bare converter, modifying the remove_apps file was the correct way to remove that entry. As for the modem, I run FC24 with good results, so try it if you want
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
Thank you Calk for your continued updates!

Haha OK,

You over-estimated me, as I'm not as seasoned in android as I was in WinMo,

so I appreciate the corrections.

I also went back and rechecked some different kernals and modems.

nooo!

To late I did it! Ha

Ya try them.

Dude if I still had my wife & messed up her phone like that I woulda have caught hell! lol.

Best modem depends on user according to signal strength in their area, so check below.

What was your throughput issue? Not shure I understand so it would be good to know.

If you went into CWM for anything that woulda done it, but I would switch to modem lower not higher.

What is your rom and kernal?

Here are my kernal benchmarks:

1.4.1 Gunslinger- 3841

EL26 - - - - - - - - - 3589

EL13 - - - - - - - - - 3467

EL29 - - - - - - - - - 3156

1.3.0 - - - - - - - - - 2865

1.1.3 - - - - - - - - - 2512

Kernals link:

Here are my modem findings:

FC14 - good perform, good battery,

would not choose older modem as GPS lock works without asistance.

FC18 - went back to this twice but nothing really to note about it.

FC22 - Actual improvement with slightly better signal strength.

Still lost data connection at times in low signal areas.

Did have hiccup with GPS had to use an app to delete cache then worked on its own.

FC24 - Amazing and best performance in low-to-zero signal areas for data where I would usually loose data..No drop on data, and that is Before a PRL update!

Battery did suffer more than others in this scenareo though, but worth it to not loose connection .

GPS not fully tested yet.

It should drain normal in higher signal areas.

Edit: newer FD modems are slightly quicker in responding to data requests.

Well that's my round up.

For me it was a toss up between FC14 and FC24 for modems, but now the FD modems reign supreme..

For kernals (here we go again) I leave that up to you

but I chose Gunslinger because of benchmarks.

Update to 3.0 with fc24 modem and 1.41

This is pretty much perfect match for Battery - speed - performance.

I was using 1.13 Kernel but the difference is so minimal his combination on the ROM is pretty much as good as it get's

FC24 Modem is great signal - nice 3G speed and better GPS lock for me.

so all in all i say no need to mix and match go with this ROM and you are set.

again i usually wipe and dalvik 3 times

I re-calibrate battery after 100% charge with phone off and then recovery wipe Battery stats

Thanks again - I do not know if i want to even goto ICS as GB is awesome

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moebius01:
Is there a 30 second lesson on what the undervolting really achieves (better battery life, hits to performance, etc...)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saj070:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_voltage_scaling

Undervolting is done in order to conserve power, particularly in laptops and other mobile devices, where energy comes from a battery and thus is limited. Overvolting is done in order to increase computer performance, or in rare cases, to increase reliability.

Undervolting is reducing the voltage of a component, usually the processor, reducing temperature and cooling requirements

After flashing this and running the bare ROM converter I can't get into CWM. It shows the CWM screen but then exits almost immediately and boots normally. I tried reflashing several different GB kernels but no luck, they all do the same thing. Anyone else experience this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I am able to get back into CWM just fine. no issues.

only issue I have so far with new rom is that go launcher no longer "remembers" that I hid the status bar. the status bar unhides when I unlock every time. (small annoyance)

LOVE the new boot animation even though I am going to replace it with my own anyway :-) much nicer with the simple colorful S logo.

always found the ICS logo to be flat out ugly.

it also appears to BOOT faster too.

so far I am happy with it. just flashed FC24 will see if that does anything good or bad :-)

Can I ADD other things to the bare rom converter? ie other things I want removed.

instructions for doing so?

Can I "ADD" things to the rom to be installed?

Edit: A second reboot seemed to fix it. *breathes sigh of relief*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
Just flash on top without wiping -- the ROM wipes what is necessary.

On a side note, I have always used gunslinger with Setcpu with no problems. Those having lag might want to reboot and give the Kernal some time to settle in.

Same thing is happening to me, albeit intermittently. Seems every reboot (i have done 5-6 since I flashed for testing), it seems to take a few minutes before the SD re-syncs and any apps that are installed to SD apps appear.

Not sure what is going on with this kernel, but things have been acting wack since I updated to 3.0. Funny thing is I was thinking: "Maybe I should Nandroid before flashing............... NAH! It's Calk. When has he ever released a buggy rom?"

Lol, it's all good though, i'm sure it will be sorted soon enough.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HeisRisen:
Don't think anybody answered this, but yes this ROM supports custom boot animations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I believe this has something to do with the Gunslinger kernel. Also, this issue is not Rom dependent. When the kernel first came out there were a lot of issues with lag. Like someone just said, it could just be the battery scripts not playing nice with the kernel. The easiest fix is to just install SetCpu or try a different kernel. SetCpu disables the battery scripts by default and just having it installed seems to calm gunslinger down.

I've heard that in certain cases, switching to another launcher (like Go Launcher) will get rid of the lag in Gunslinger. Otherwise, try a different kernel... it's easy enough to flash a different one.

Lag Issues

I willing to bet people with lag issues, the voltage is to low and your phone cant handle massive under-volting... stock kernels at 200 mhz gives 950 mv while this one on 3.0 gives 825... slowing down is because the cpu is not getting enough voltage to run. Try to use setcpu or whateva program you can find to up the voltage from 825 to 900 and I bet that will fix your lag issues...
