LOL, I'm with you guys. I just returned to this ROM this morning!

Do you remember by chance is tdunham made any mods for this ROM?

Yes, not sure where they all are. Its been a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sedric1:
So i'm getting ready to install this rom for the first time. I have a new replacement phone from sprint, which has so far only been rooted, and then I installed CWM,

which leaves me with kernal3.0.15 (agat 0.1.#2 and build ff13.)

Should I be ok with running calkulins formatall script and then flashing this rom via the agat recovery?

Actualy i went through with this. gotta say i like the rom, but one issue i have noticed yesterday;

I went to make a call and the call screen came up and stuck there without a call being made. i rebooted and the call worked, but i hopefully wont have to keep doing that. has anyone else seen similiar behavior?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Been on this Rom since early April and never experienced this condition.

I do practice doing a reboot after first start up when flashing between roms, it settles things down, makes for smoother flow and transitions.

I think that was just a one time thing, you may never see it again. I have not flashed my phone since April, but have flashed a half dozen phones in the past six months(friends and family) and always make it a point to reboot after first start up.

This rom is not smooth or fast at all for me. Clean install. Any reason that my phone runs so slow with this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
seems fasy and smooth to me you do need to give it time to settle like any other rom flashing also a factory reset won't hurt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Your install may not have been so"clean",

What Rom where you on before, ics, jb. ?

You meat have some data conflicts going on, if you provide more info, we will be able to help you troubleshoot.

Nerys71 is correct, you need to give a flash time to settle down. I re-reboot after first start up when flashing, and wait a while and try out os before i reinstall apps. This way ,if there is a glitch you know if it's rom related or app related.

When you look up"smooth"in the dictionary, you will see a picture of an SGS2 Epic 4GTouch on this Rom.

It doesn't get any smoother than that.

Well I came from blazer 4.1 just to try it out. Blazer is incredibly smooth. I did format all script multiple times, wiped data cache and dalvik. Even after rebooting it is slow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Try a different GB kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joshuadub:
Mine was slow at first last night but this morning I installed holo launcher and seems to be getting better. If you know of a working link for 4.1 let me know
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wormsign:
just an idea: Something I did differently this time I flashed this ROM, since I was coming from ICS, I Odin'd back to stock + root el29, then installed CWM, then, instead of using the format all script I did it all the old way before we all started that wipe tool, I wiped/format everything x5 , then flash reboot... The first night I let the battery drain to 0, then charged battery with phone off... With a completely fresh install and a full battery, I have not had any issues. Just an idea.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toobz:
I installed a stock rogue kernel and now it's feeling like blazer :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
There ya go. There are plenty of older custom kernels to try too. Some phones don't play well with Gunslinger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toobz:
That's strange. Blazer still seems faster in certain apps like pulse and dolphin browser, but on the home screens this is a lot better now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
To all that are saying that Blazer 4.1 was smoother:

Interesting... Were you using a 3rd party launcher? I have had slower experiences with GO, or Holo, but Nova seemed to work good. I tried Blazer for a few days but decided I liked Paranoid Android better. I am back on this ROM because I just can't find anything better.

@tdunham

I was looking through your post on Mods/Addons/Tweaks. I wanted to use one of those lockscreen mods you have there, but then realized they require 4.0.4, which I am not running. Is there even a possibility of getting a lockscreen like that through a .zip for EL29 other then going through something like GO lock or whatever else there is? The lock screen would be the only thing I would change on this ROM.

Have you seen Overstew's ICS theme? You should try it. Makes the phone look good!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
You should try TW 4.5 launcher, I have been running it since I came back to this rom, it makes a difference, and you can customize it the way you went. 5app dock, text or no text, backgrounds, transparencys,you name it.

Between this rom ,Overstew's theme, and TW 4.5 you can't beat this set up.

been running this rom for about 2-3 weeks tried ics and jb roms but just not the same in regards to reliability, battery life

but since im a flash-aholic wanted to try blazer rom 4.1 but was wondering what the difference between this rom and that rom are..

anyone on this rom tried blazer rom 4.1 before that can give me some info?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
ok flashed blazer rom looks nice but prefer this rom . before i flashed blazer rom i did a nAndroid backup im in recovery trying to restore the back up but its telling me that the

MD5 are mismatch??

any help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Make sure there are no spaces in the filename of the backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
shouldnt be any .. im going into recovery selecting backup & restore> restore> selecting the one i want and pressing ok but then it says checking md5 sums then a minute later says md5 mismatch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Are you using the same recovery you created it with and did you move these back and forth to PC (I've gotten corrupted backups copying them back and forth)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
all i did was create a back up while running calks rom before i flashed blazer rom.. after i flashed blazer rom ran that for couple minutes and saw that well atleast to me calks rom is better so then i went back into recovery and tried to restore the back up but it didnt work so i used calks format all zip and then flashed Calks EL29 rom fresh again rebooted waited about 5 minutes then went back into recovery and tried doing the restore again but still getting the md5 mismatch issue ive also tried a advanced restore of data but still no good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Gotcha. Doesn't look good then. To repair a backup is a major undertaking if you're not equipped to do it. Also, it doesn't help that by default I think backups are stored on external SD by default unless you specify. I like to do every other backup to internal just in case. Try shutting the phone down and reseating the card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
This is my second charge .... so far going grrrrrrrrreat!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
You didn't mention flashing back to a stock EL26 or EL29 ROM. Did you flash it directly over Calks ROM? Maybe that could be why you are having the issues. As far as repairing the backup, I have no idea. I would say just ODIN back to Stock EL26 and flash back to Calks 3.0.

I have recently rooted my E4GT and am currently on Calkulin's 0.2.1 ICS Rom. I am also using CWM/Agat Recovery. I rooted my phone on FH13 as well since I had updated to ICS from Sprint prior to rooting.

My Question is, can I just go ahead and follow the instructions on flashing to this rom without causing any issues since I am on ICS?

Thanks, and the reason is, is because I want to see if this one is faster than what I have current flashed now.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
What I would recommend is flashing back to EL26/29 using ODIN and then flashing from recovery using Chris41g. Also format all using Calkulins format ALL zip he has posted. That way you get a clean install and should run into minimal or no problems at all. Give me a sec to get to a computer and I will post links.

EDIT: Ok, check this link out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

That link will give you the necessary ODIN application to flash back to stock rooted EL29.

After flashing stock rooted EL29 I run the autoroot system here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

And that will give you the recovery system you need to flash correctly and safely Calkulins 3.0

There might be a quicker way to do it, but this is my method and I trust it.

OR, if you are familiar with Mobile ODIN you can flash back to direct-boot EL26 with this:

http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/tools.html

And put it in the "Open Files" towards the bottom in the app.

Can't seem to get wiimote to work on this rom. Anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Hey TD, I was looking thru your 1.2 tweaks and noticed that the governor set for when screen is off is powersave.. I went into the govs on the gunslinger kernel and powersave is not a governor included.. does the tweaks still work when the screen is off even tho its not a present governor?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
I would take the following steps:

1. Download the EL26 kernel zip file onto your sd card, as well as the Calkulin v3.0 zip file.

2. Reboot phone into recovery and flash the el26 kernel. Wipe cache & data.

3. Flash the calkulin zip file & reboot phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edanono:
Just flashed back to this after seeing posts about the tw4 launcher. It seems ok, but not for me. I do have other problems... "your device isn't compatible with this version" comes up on most of the apps I run. They are not many, but the main ones. Boat Browser, yahoo fantasy football, dolphin browser, exDialer.

I cannot install any of these while running this rom. I have not seen any other posts refering to this issue. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Perhaps a modification in rom toolbox?

Thanks yall.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:

When flashing from ics, jb you need to wipe all app data, otherwise you have conflicts. That why you use the"wipe all zip".

That kinda funny I never noticed that because the scripts were adapted from ICS tweaks. I guess the governor doesn't change for screen off then but the tweaks seem to do their job anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Yea.... I was just digging around trying to be smart lol.. but I was wondering since only the stock kernel has powersave without undervolting capabilities (and not in the rogue custom kernels) what would be the equivalent to the power save governor..

Any mods, to edit the launcher? Like if I want the gmail icon where the mail icon is? Also, how do we get rid of the dots that come up when u slide to another screen? I real dont mind them there but when I add a new icon to the home screen its really high above the launcher
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
So no one knows how to remove the am/pm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Not with the stock TW Launcher. You can use GO Launcher, Holo Launcher, ADW or Apex, but I think those last two are for Android 4.0+.

With those you can edit the icons simply by pressing and holding on the icon until you see the edit menu pop up. As for the dots, I think that is also an option in GO Launcher but I can't remember right now, as I am not currently using it. Give me a bit and I will see what I can find.

I'm not currently running this ROM but from what I remember, it wasn't an option. Try out ROM Toolbox from the play store. I know that app has a lot you can do with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
You need TW 4 launcher to make edits and mods, remove dots, text, add transitions, add extra rows in app drawer, and other goodies.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
whats a hot reboot? sounds like you mean a hard crash "poof" phone is off and booting up suddenly ??

if so I have "NEVER" had one of these on calk's rom. ever. my S2 continues to run perfectly on calk's 3.0. then again once I get it the way I like it I don't tend to chance things much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dp102288:
I am having the same problem! It started maybe 1-1.5 weeks ago. I would be in the stock browser or using Google Maps, then my data would die. My icon wouldn't disappear, but the data arrows would pretty much stay "off" and no more data. It wouldn't fall back to 1x or anything; 3G would stay on the whole time. Then I am unable to make any calls. I would enter a number, hit send, and it would stay on the screen with the waves coming out of the handset picture. The call would never connect. I would hit end and the waves would stop, but I would never get back to the dialer.

I tried going in and out of airplane mode after this, but no luck. I would get a signal, I would get the 3G icon, but no calls, no data. I have to reboot (which is a whole other problem...). I feel its most reproducible when I am trying to load 2+ website in the browser at once. I am on Calk's 3.0 with some mods I did over 3 months ago. No new apps, no new mods. Maybe some app updates (Chomp, Terminal Emulator, Google Maps and Street view, etc...).

Its making me upset...I use my phone, it dies, then I have to reboot to get it going again. After my connection freezes, I can't make or get calls, no SMS in or out, and no data. Anyone else have an idea? I am thinking of reflashing to see if that solves anything.

Help!

Just aggressive tweaks. No data and less wifi. Good for my usage
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dp102288:
I have dropped my phone in the past, onto my carpeted floor from about 2 feet, several months ago. So I ruled that out.

I was on FI25 when it began. I then switched (back) to EL29 thinking it was related, but still no help. It just froze on me again. Actually I was on Slashdot, then tried to get to Phonescoop on the stock browser. Didn't make it at all; didn't even begin to load the Phonescoop page. :(

I'm going to start removing things / programs and changing settings (like killing my DroidWall) to see if that makes any difference.

The biggest problem (maybe it is the cause) is that when I have to restart, my battery is dying (positive spin test) so it doesn't always restart right away. Just now I had to give the phone 10 minutes for the battery to cool before booting up again.

I have noticed a lot of usage from my Kernel and Google Services. It hasn't dropped my battery % much, though I can't really trust it. I'm using GSam Battery Monitor which shows me that Kernel has 45m 32s of CPU time, and Google Services has a keep awake time of 2h 7m 33s. Both are from 16h 25m 40s of battery since last full charge. My phone was warm today when it froze, but it has froze when cool as well.

I had a bad case of the OTA bug that killed my battery life a few weeks back. I had to use FOTA kill (which is working fine), but I didn't know what was going on so for maybe a week I had severe battery drainage along with hot phone. Maybe that sent my battery to the grave? Now since my battery is out of shape, its wreaking havoc on my phone's connection?

I can say the problem isn't 100% reproducible, nor is it 0%. I can say that if I want to, I can kill my connection 100% of the time in 10 minutes if I tried. Any ideas???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Sounds like it could be some sort of app conflict.

This rom and kernel is super stable.

Droid wall ?

This has been my daily driver since early April, and have never had not one tiny glitch whatsoever. Tried several builds and this was the winner!

I have two epics on this rom, his and hers.

I have flashed a lot of ROM's since I have had this phone and this ROM, hands down, has the best battery life. There were times where I could almost get 2 entire days out of one charge with moderate to heavy use. Of course, those are with the correct tweaks (i.e undervolting as stated above, Placebo, and a few others like turning Auto-Sync off.)

You will not be disappointed, I an assure that.

Yes, it should not matter. The phone has 4g capabilities, so if you are in an area that you know has a 4g network connection, you will be able to connect to it.
