Out of curiosity, how come you're using quick boot? Our phone has that same option just by holding down the power button.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LilRico:
Just quicker for me to tap a short cut. I know the power button has the same option, but it wasn't unlit recently that it could go into recovery. I've been using it for a long time now, ever since the HTC days and so that's why I'm still use to it. Plus, quick boot reboots the phone a lot faster! It just cuts off and restarts instead of waiting for it to unmount the SDCard and then unload the system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j_shelton1988:
I have quick boot and it works fine on 2. 8. I restored from SD card
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j_shelton1988:
Quick boot is a lot quicker then the power button. I always use it and also it will help from wearing out the power button
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MAX_POWERS:
Same here. I'm going reflash without black and white theme. Also recent app list is not working when pressing home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ihateu:
Yeah good luck with that one man. Sorry to be sarcastic but I asked like3 times about this. every body here is obsessed with Battery performance.ugh I even asked Calkulin, no input from anybody on this thread.

This happen to me on earlier builds but I haven't ran into this problem in a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crimsonred36:
I'm on 2.7 right now. I have a few questions:

1. I just flashed the update from 2.5, so my baseband still says EK02, whereas kernel says EL26. Did I have to flash the EL26 modem as well?

2. I know the latest version is 2.8, with EL29. Are there any speed/signal improvements with EL29 over EK02? Or just the ROM from 2.7 to 2.8?

3. Also, I seem to have 4x4 icons on my homescreen and TW dock, but the apps list is 5x5. Is that the ROM or did I do something wrong?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
you flash whatever modem works best for your phone. As far as the dock you should have 4icons and the app drawer icon. I would personally flash 2.8 there are son great changes

Nevermind..I misread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
I have been trying to trouble shoot some FCing and what seems like soft reboots. (not all the way to the boot animation sequence) just the launcher part. Upon boot, both cores are basically pegged, then at times seems like it is going back to idle and then it warm resets. Sometimes this is quicker than other times. it seems like the system in the task manager is taking all the processing. If I dont boot with my SD in it seems to be ok but if I boot with it in, this happens. The card is good. I have even experienced this with two other cards... The phone will be fine with out this behavior but once it starts there is nothing I can do to keep it from happening. I have to basically restore or reset everything back up from a user wipe. Then all is ok until it starts happening. For the past week the phone has been great no issues until today and now I cant resolve it. I dont want to have to wipe and reconfigure my apps again.

Is there anyway to isolate what exactly is causing this?

I do have games moved to sd card but thats it. all regular apps/system type are on internal.

I have also noticed that when I move apps to the SD card in the manage apps section of the android os, it move its to my sd and internal sd... I see that storage has been taken on both locations. is this normal? I am not sure if the media scanner is messing with that when the OS is loading and that is causing some of this problem. When I dont have a SD card in, the phone boots in no time at all. It is much slower with the sd in.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I was about to post saying I never have the CRT flip issue and then it hits me. I disabled rotation for the launcher. hate when it rotates for no reason :-)

that explains why I never see that problem. (install smart rotation and you can selectively permit or not permit auto rotation app by app)

GPS so far is PERFECT on this rom. even faster than when I first got the phone I mean literally as fast as I can open the programs most times its locked. Very impressed.

if I am moving maybe a 1 to 1.5 second lag time but very hard to notice usually (usually only notice it in gas buddy) have to wait split second and hit reload again to get local stations)

also every since upgrading from EG31 was it?? ZERO LOS. not one single time (boy am I glad that is gone)

Loving your rom calkulin. good stuff man. Good stuff.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] doroyce05:
So I just updated my 2.6 with this one and I flies. The only question I have is which kernel with el29 allows for an overclock? Dont get me wrong this is nice but I was wondering on which kernel will also work with 2.8 that allows some overclocking. I was using desperado prior to swithing to 2.8. Thanks in advance guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
you can still use desperado.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
There is no source for EL26 or EL29, thus no custom kernels for those versions, thus no OC for those versions.

As Darren (who has a big day tomorrow like I do) says, you can still use the EL13 Desperado to OC.

EDIT: Scarmon25 makes an excellent observation below where he notes that you can oc/uc stock kernels with Tegrak Ultimate.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Just some info. You can undervolt, over clock, and tweak the stock kernels with Tegrak Ultimate. I'm on the stock EL26 kernel and have it undervolted with that app. It is a paid app but its worth it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidSPCS:
Under the Removed_apps folder, there are 4 apps:

-SprintMobileWallet - I don't ever recall using this, guess it's probably not NFC related since the E4GT doesn't have NFC chip

-PolarisOffice - this was the mobile office app

-SprintZone - really never used this

-VoiceToGo - what is this app? It's not the voicemail app, I googled this but can't really find out what this was for. Does anyone know?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Someone had made a comment about the EL29 kernel messing with their internet speed. Ive gone back and forth between Rogue EL26 1.1.3 and EL29 1.1.4. Defintely almost seems possible. Tested both with the modems for both. Cleared caches and updated profiles and prl's everytime. Its hard to tell sometimes but El29 Kernel almost seems to stutter in comparison. EL29 rom and Modem on EL26 kernel does better for my phone at the moment.

If the Kernel does have an issue hope they fix that before the final and dont think the modem is the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tshile:
Yeah it is related to the theme. I did a complete format and it still happened.still can't get it fixed, gave up and am running 2.7

Thanks guys, i went and bought the ultimate version and enjoying it.

This might been covered but is there a way to add lock screens on this Rom without downloading a launcher? Like can we flash lock screens from CWM?

I only think it is necessary if something is wrong, but you can update it anytime you wish.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SooooneR:
I concur...

I am on 2.8 with EL29 modem and kernel and used both of my GPS programs (Telenav and Google) last night and both were right on the money! Very impressed with 2.8 thus far. I had some issues with WiFi on 2.7 but found out the only issue was just doing an upgrade from 2.6 was breaking WiFi for some reason. Clean install and it worked pretty good. Great work as always Calk! Much appreciated!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidSPCS:
Flashed the EL29 ROM and modem last night, everything working great.

I had an issue trying to flash EL29 modem at first - it was hanging in recovery. I had EK02 modem.

So I flashed back to EG30 modem via this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1381632 which worked, and then I was able to flash to EL29 modem afterwards.

As an aside note, I had CWM recovery from when I auto-rooted with the Revolutionary method, and this ROM changed the recovery to Rogue recovery...pretty cool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
The included kernel is the Rogue_EL29_Stock kernel. So the kernel changed your recovery to Rogue Recovery. If you flash any recovery enabled kernel other than another Rogue kernel, your recovery will change back to regular CWM. Just an FYI.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] achvala:
so this is pretty minor but before the 2.8 update I was able to set my ringtone volume and the notification volume to the same level. now in the sound settings there is no box to tick to make the notification the same as incoming ringtone volume. any ideas as to why?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Try going into settings> manage applications and clearing data from gmail. Don't worry about losing anything because it will sync again next time it connects to a data connection or you can sync manually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
Just went up to 2.8, no issues, 3g and 4g speeds are definitely are definitely improved on the EL29, no issues at all.

Download the app Widget Locker. I have used it since the release of this phone and it works like a dream.

First, great ROM. Thanks a million for the super fast updates.

Second, is there a fix for the Internet Browser FC. I have experienced it running stock and the last 3 versions of this ROM. I do not think this ROM is the problem. It is a stock issue. Sometimes while loading a webpage the browser freezes and shuts down. When I reopen it I am back to the home page, not the page I was on or the one I was going to.

Anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts. It doesnt happen consistantly or too terribly often so I it is just a slight annoyance. I would like to see it fixed all the same(hint, hint Samsung). Thanks.

On my Epic mobile phone.

I just noticed something and don't know if it's new or has been like this for a while. If I take a photo with the back camera, it will compress it and use it fine for an mms (doing it from mms menu and taking photo). But doing the same thing with the frontt camera will say that the picture is too large and will not try to compress it. Is there a fix for this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spikey12:
camera sound

Is there anyway to reinable the camera sound?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidSPCS:
If you want to, you can reinstall the stock camera.apk file that was replaced in this ROM.

Search this thread for "camera.apk", I think someone had it linked somewhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
You can extract Camera.apk from a stock deoxeded rom with no mods to it and push in to system/app. Fix permissions and reboot.

I'm not sure if an app like rom toolbox might offer and option as well...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkne0:
Just noticed something really cool...holding your finger on the notification bar then swyping left to right or right to left, it lowers and raises the screen brightness :)

Is that a stock feature? or is it just built into this rom? Really nice to have either way :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
lol, ya og epic was same way so not a rom goodie. you can also take a screenshot with power/home key since you seem new to Samsung game.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Stock future. Auto brightness has to be unchecked for it to work too.

Another future is if you press and hold on a received text in the notification bar/curtain it will start to scroll automatically displaying the whole text. :)

I had never noticed it either but this explains how my stuff ended up at odd percentages lol.

Anyone getting battery drain using the EL29 modem/ kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Yeah, like 2% /hour. at this rate I will only get like 50 hours of on time. Whats a fella to do?

Trust me...it's not the ROM. It's either an app you have installed, your wifi sleep policy set to never, the way you installed the ROM, or you restored apps, (only restore data to market apps and don't restore anything to any system apps or you are likely to have problems).

What are some of you guyses combos (modem, kernel.) for improving battery life on these last couple leaks? I definitely don't get as good as earlier builds, and I use my phone moderately - check emails, weather widget, Facebook, etc... I'm not talking about great battery life claims by leaving the phone sit there untouched for 10 hours either. Moderate use.

I appreciate the feedback!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidSPCS:
LOL I am 6 hours on the battery, went from 99% to 93%, so 6% loss, or 1 % per hour. This ROM rocks!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
I have a question about the 'Download All Files' app. Is there a way to to have it stop automatically try to download every file I open? I use dropbox often and don't want to automatically download the files in the dropbox folder, but this 'Download All Files' app won't let me open any file unless I download it, first and then open it from the downloads folder. The app doesn't seem to have any settings and it's incredibly annoying. Granted, I know the app can be useful since it allows you to download attachments in gmail and whatnot, but it'd be a lot better if you could create apps where it wouldn't interfere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
4% display doesn't even qualify for light usage and no where near moderate...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
;This is what moderate/heavy use looks like. See the steps on the top line? Not so gradual. Display? Voice calls? Pretty high right?

If I don't touch my phone at all other than to look at my home screen, I'd probably get the same.

Considering the use, not too bad I guess lol. But this is what I'm trying to improve. Usage. Not standby.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
+1 Same here. EL29 modem/kernel combo has given me the worst battery life thus far. I might flash back to EL26 rogue stock kernel to see if it helps. The earlier builds definitely gave better life.

Wut are you other guys running?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Riptide9:
I left my phone in my office overnight (off the charger by mistake) and didn't start using it till this morning. That is why only 4% time. Since 8am est I have been using it like normal and will have no problem getting through this day without having to worry about a charge. If I did this same thing with my EVO my battery would have been amost dead before my day even started. My statment was this is the best battery life of any phone I have had and I believe that Calks rom is a major factor in that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
EL26 was the first modem to get me a good GPS lock, and that went away when I flashed 29. Guesser it's back to 26 for me :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Do you guys understand that there is really no way to increase usage time other than buy a bigger battery? The screen is going to use x amount of battery, the radios are going to use x amount of battery when on a call, etc.

If you want bettery battery life out of your screen, turn the brightness down to minimum.

There's no software solution to this other than to make the OS report a false battery number.

I hate car analogies, but if you want better gas mileage, you have to change your driving habits, and even then, there's only so much you're going to get per mile.

And by looking at your screenshot duce, I'm not sure what you are trying to improve. 5 hours with 4g on and that usage, 68% is pretty damn good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I haven't flashed EL29 yet, still on EL26 build and kernel, and EL13 modem. I noticed some people are reporting worse on 29. On the flip side though, the phone does feel somewhat snappier in the latest builds, little more horsepower when browsing, loading, etc IMO. Maybe that's where the juice is going.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Yeah....I'm definitely not doing that bad lol...

I'm comparing with +/- same usage on earlier builds I usually would be in the mid 80s. Consistent. There is definitely a higher drain in the latest builds , nothing that's gonna to cripple my world. Not trying to start a war here, Just debating. :)
