Ok, so I am done with my Nexus testing sooo, if I flash this then the previously mentioned kernel, am I going to lose out on all of Calkulin's scripts/tweaks? I mean the ROM looks incredible as well but I want to see the magic that got worked on this ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I think odub was looking into that. Unfortunately I have to run stock because I get hit by los otherwise so I wouldn't know. I have still gotten very good battery life on stock setups on his rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
I haven't logged in to IRC today, have been travelling. May hop on later tonight hopefully and see what i can find out, but as far as I can tell, none of the init.d scripts ran on this ROM when using Chris' EG31 stock repacked. Probably a minor bug in the init.d support in the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ok, well if I can help in any way, let me know. I can't believe I didn't have CPU Spy installed already. I always have it installed and I must have just forgot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well, hopefully it can get ironed out because this modem/kernel combo just continues to be the best I have found on my phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R2D2 631:
mybackup pro doesn't work with this rom.. i had a very hard time trying to make it work and app kept closing on me...i uninstalled and installed app and same problem..i flashed another rom and mybackup worked with no problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
How do I change the apps in the launcher tray ? Don't want email down there but contacts instead
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
pull up app drawer - menu - edit - drag and drop. If it asks you to switch up the view, then do it then drag and drop
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Thanks for the help it worked. But can I move the app icon from the far right to center of the tray ?

Also what about lock screen options ? I have the ICS theme by overstew and thought that came with options for custom lock screens but I guess it doesn't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
OK I'm having a problem trying to set a alarm sound from my own sounds in the standard desk clock. I'm getting this for a error msg com.sec.android.app.myfiles not found. Also has anyone got the office suite to work yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Looks like I missed something here, the golden setup?....are you guys talking EG31 modem with EG31 stock kernel for best results? Or is it mainly for battery savings or LOS reduction?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xfusejc:
Any way to change the amount of apps per row/column in the app drawer? I thought it would look better than it ended up. I'd like to give it a bit more space, if at all possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well, those were my screenies. I am on EG31 modem with Chris's EG31 w/CWM5 but apparently there's an issue with init.d so Calkulin's undervolt scripts aren't sticking. My pics were stock settings no undervolt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Oh, I see thanks. I saw the screenies and they are impressive I must say!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Try pushing touchwiz from another rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MDK666:
Deodexed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
A suggestion: Before replacing tw launcher with the reg one make to number down to 4 on the dock bar, because the extra 5th icon will be deleted, and you won't find it in the app drawer either ...lol (I did it..) I had to extract the browser and push that as well so it would show back up...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xfusejc:
That did it. I just used the apk from the back-up.

Thanks! I didn't even think of it.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

it worked out well. I had changed it with Gmail and that's what stuck, which is perfect :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Glad it worked out

Edit: took the plunge and undervolting some more. Not set on default and Tegrak is watching stability. I am hoping this let's me squeeze some more out this turnip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Does this ROM support a kernel that supports voodoo ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
There is nothing for the epic 4g that contains voodoo, kernels or roms, and probably never will.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Please let me know how that goes for you. I was going to do it today but was wondering if I undervolt too much if it would make my phone work harder to perform certain tasks and end up counterproductive like kicking it up to next state to do same tasks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amwworks:
I'm having the same problem but my phone restarts in the middle of a restore
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
Had the same problem. Had to use TB and I got it to work that way. Not sure why that is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rksand:
Is anyone else having to frequently redesignate the default launcher?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Not here, set to touchwiz from first boot up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rksand:
Thanks. I think at the next update I'll wipe with format all.zip, install fresh and restore apps directly from the market. TB may have flubbed something when I did apps plus app data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Hi Folks.

Just changed from Epic 4G to the Epic 4G Touch. Looking over the ROM's and Themes. The Calkulin's ROM looks very good. Just a fast question if someone will help me out.

It does not look like the ROM's currently backup/restore Data. If I make a nandroid backup and then wipe Data/Dalvik/Cache and flash this ROM can I then restore Data from the nandroid backup? Or do I need to reinstall from scratch?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
What are you trying to achieve?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
First welcome.

Personally I NEVER restore data from anything as it could cause issues. Titanium backup will backup your apps and data. I would not advise restoring data from a nand especially if its form another rom. Its left to be said that you will or won't get issues from restoring data, but when you flash roms all the time it does get old redoing everything. My advice is a freash clean install and download from market. If you are already rooted you can grab a file explorer with root access and copy your downloaded apps for ease of reinstall. Over time you will have to update them with the market, but you don't have to find them all again. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Just some feedback for those thinking about messing with the undervolting some more. I am currently under clocked to 800 and stepped down the voltage for each step by 125. So far so good, it is coming out of deep sleep consistently but I still am not setting on boot. I did save a profile though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Don't be scared! You know you wanna hit set on boot... ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Haha.... Maybe, but misery loves company
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Damn, you are down to 125 on the undervolt? Well, as long as you have a nandroid...maybe see if it wakes after its been asleep for a while. Oh thanks GMan, my phones just grew some Rootz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Nah its sleeping nice and deep. Been watching it with cpu spy. This thing is sipping battery life. 125 is working for me right now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
What default browser are you using. People have had an issue when GoLauncher updates you have to reset default..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rksand:
That sounds like a great idea. Can you tell me how and where they are?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Roms running great. Using stock pulled kernel and have not had any LOS, freezing or reboot problems at all.

This is my kernel of choice with any Rom and it has proven to be the most stable! Anyone have issues like the above I recommend trying the stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
How are you lowering voltage down to 125?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Having a weird issue. In WiFi settings it is always scanning for a network even though I am already connected to my home WiFi with password.

How do I stop that auto scanning ? And yes I unchecked notify of nearby networks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brushrop03:
Yes, this....I just noticed that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I lowered it down 125
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
It always does that when you're in that screen. It's fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Not for sure on calks rom, but look in /data/app. Have to use a file explorer that has root access like root explorer. You need to make a folder on your sd card, call it something like APKs or what you want. Go to where the apps are, vilck menu, multi select, check of the ones you want, cilck copy, then make your way to the folder you made and paste them. This is using root explorer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Getting ready to step down 150 on two phases, who's with me? Hahaha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I've had nothing but problems trying to use MyBackup Pro on this phone; worked great on both my old Evo's, but this phone does NOT like it..

Using Titanium, I am able to restore apps&data perfectly EVERY time, no matter which ROM I flash..

It sucks buying 2 back up programs, but, if you want a fast restore process, it appears that Titanium is the only one that works well on this phone..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
150 gave me reboots, looks like setting 125 @ boot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoobmd:
So I am playing around with SetCPU as well - set at ondemand, 200-1600 and only undervolting -50 for now.

I do have a profile for screen off set at 200-500.

I find that sometimes the phone doesn't wake up when I power on and have to reboot by holding down the power button.

Is this due to the 200-500 setting or the mild undervolting? I've never had a spontaneous reboot nor does it freeze at -50.

Thanks for any insights.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drumrocker:
It would be due to the undervolting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
UV the cpu and GPU -125, going to give it a shot today. Might lower GPU speed too. Stock EG31 kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Speaking only from my own experience, I have had NO issues restoring /data from a nandroid backup. The only thing you need to be careful of is restoring a /data partition that has apps in it that are system apps in the new ROM. This will cause force closes, so what I do is remove the system apps I know I have in the /data backup (like swype beta, gmail, etc.) before doing the advance restore. The comment about not doing a /data restore across ROMS should be qualified and limited to restoring across different types of ROMS (i.e. Sense, AOSP, etc.). Since Calk's ROM uses the stock ROM as a base, there is no issue here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Unbelievable. How has it improved your battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Had to back down the uv for the GPU to -75, just charged up today, going to wipe battery stats and run this for a couple of days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Yeah totally agreed!! Its more of seeing how some people have issues with data restore and what not, so personally I dont do it cause no benifit to me. But if it works I may give it a shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I'm new to kinda new to UV and GPU. Will you post the steps of how to do it? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Do you have tegrak?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
No I don't have it. Can I get it from the market?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
You sure can, I have the paid version which lets you under volt in increments of 25 + 50
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Will Tegrak break Calk's tweaks?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If you are using the kernel that came with the ROM then Calkulin has different levels of undervolt in the OP. If you are using a stock or stock prepacked w/CWM5 then Calkulin's tweaks wont stick due to lack of init.d support. I am using Chris's EG31 w/CWM5 so Calkulin's scripts therefore I would use Tegrak to undervolt. There is a free version but you need the paid version to undervolt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Wouldn't calks script work with Chris repack stock kernel since it says in that threads op that init.d is supported?

Sent from my Epic Galaxy S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
2 newbie questions:

1.) How do I tell if Calks scripts are working? Is there an app that will show me my current clocks? I'm running 1.5a with Rogue *stock* kernel.

2.) The point of the volt mods is increasing battery life, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
1. Yes - cpu spy

2. Yes - you're scaling the same speeds its just taking less power to do it thus potential for battery savings
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
How would I get a console dump of the current voltage/clocks, similar to what Viperboy's mod did on the OG Evo? And would anyone have a list of the stock settings?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It may on EG30 but apparently its not on EG31 so try the EG30 not EG30 Rev 5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
No, for two reasons. First, the stock repacked kernel does not support undervolting via a script like Calk's. Second, unless the problem is unique to my device and/or setup, I could not get the init.d scripts to run on Calk's ROM using the stock repack. I think there is a bug and have reached out to Chris to see if it can be ironed out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Testing my UV, I can share if there is enough interest
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Is there an app that shows a log of battery stats? For instance, if you ran undervolted by 50 one day and 100 the next so you could actually compare the battery saving by looking at a log or graph of the days use?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
System panel? It graphs battery use
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madocs:
I screwed some stuff up with setcpu yesterday. Ended up restoring a backup with the 31 radio and rogue 1.1.3 kernel. Since then, battery has been great, my android OS usage way down (I was typically 50%+ OS usage). Might be coincidence, but I like it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
Finally getting some amazing battery life out of this. After flashing I was only lasting around 14 hours. After a full charge cycle I wiped the battery stats. After another full charge cycle I tried the trick from a few pages back of pulling the fully charged battery for 90 seconds. This is using the Rogue E30 stock kernel on E31. Android OS still seems abnormally high but doesn't seem to be affecting the drain (or maybe it can be even better).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
The Android OS usage was way down for me on that kernel as well but it was giving me LoS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
For those of you who haven't seen it, Barn did the notification toggles for ICS twist

LLLLLLLLLLINK
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Chris's EG31 w/CWM5 and EG31 modem has been stellar for me. I am glad others on EG31 are reporting good results. I was starting to wonder what I did that was so special.EDIT...will mess up Calkulin's undervolt scripts though. You will have to use Tegrak..just a friendly reminder
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Yeah and there is a Renegade repack on the way as well. Personally I would rather run that with an EG31 repack since their recovery is soooo nice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I will be on the lookout for that. I was hoping that would get done
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
Is there a big difference in android os battery usage on that EG31 kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Is there a different kernel you recommend besides the one this ROM comes with ? Have had two LOS's since installed this last night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Medic1013:
I've been sticking to stock kernels and currently on Renegades 1.1. My phone doesn't get along well with custom kernels for some reason and get quite a bit LOS. So far no LOS since trying Renegade 1.0 and 1.1.

My only doubt and question is if I still keep the other tweaks included in this rom by flashing Renegade 1.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well, some have said a bit more, others less. All I know is I got my phone on launch day and the EG31 modem/kernel combo is giving me the best battery life so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jprovan1:
I'm currently on 1.1

Can I flash 1.5 on top of 1.1 or do I need to do a full wipe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
I have not flashed eg31 yet. Im not having any problems with eg30 and 1.5a. Thinking about fashing eg31 in order squeeze out more battery life but how do I update the PRI? Using the update in settings/about phone does not work for me. Something about Sprint being confused about the the phone I have.;) Any suggestions besides clearing up the confusion?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jprovan1:
Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
Yup buddy, that's what we are here for.:-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
I am on this Rom and i want to use the Chris Kernel the stock one.If i use it then what do i have to add? will i still have root etc since it is a stock kernel? or just flash it and go?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Use the auto root to root and flash cwm + stock kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Remember, you can't go back to EG30 only EG12. If you aren't having any problems then you may want to stay where you are...its up to you. I did it and its worked out well but I live in a full bar 4G area so I may not be the best person to speak on which is better for LOS. Battery wise, it has been better..for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Best advice you can get, don't mess with what isn't broken. If you have no issues on EG30, you are really just tempting fate. If there was a way to revert, I'd say go for it, but there isn't so if you end up with

A worse setup you are stuck there. I would put good money on you not getting better battery with EG31 if you decide to flash it. I also would be very skeptical of anyone claiming that EG31 is giving them better battery. They may very well have good battery while on EG31, I am, but I am certain it has to do more with my kernel and overall setup than a new radio.

It's your phone so you should do what you're comfortable with, but I recommend an educated decision. Research is a good thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Agree a million times over; I can't believe how many people have messed up their phones flashing their modem when absolutely nothing is wrong with their current setup; there is nothing whatsoever that says flashing a modem will guarantee that you will get better battery life, and, you run a real risk if the flash goes bad, or something else happens when you are flashing it..

Listen to what we are saying; if your phone is working well, do not flash a modem!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree. My battery success probably has more to do with me going into Applications/Manage/Running and deleting the apps I don't use on a regular basis like Maps,etc. Its funny that those of us having success with the setup are advising against it but its really because we don't want to advise someone to do something that can't be changed back. These phones seem to all react a bit differently. If you aren't having any problems then stay put. On my OG Epic my EC05 was better for me than the following 4 that came out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smcf81:
Can i flash the modem update through cwm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
No, its done with ODIN, just like it states in the OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Based on your question, I hope you read the three posts above yours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Anyway to change icons in the 5 icon launcher? REally don't want mail (want gmail instead)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
When your In the launcher hit menu and edit. Can swap them out from there.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

So we can just flash this over the acs ics theme too or just twist?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brushrop03:
Yeah go to the app drawer and hit menu > edit
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
No, you have to push the files
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
Hmmm I'm thinking about trying this rom out but what is the modem thing about in the OP

Sent from my mistress
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robert_ayala:
Need Help

Something very odd is occurring with both of my E4GT phones today. They are both stuck on the lock-screen flashing on and off without the ability to unlock the phone. I cannot get the touch sensors to work on either handset. Additionally, after I boot into recovery, wipe delvick-cache and cache, it had no effect. I even re-flashed and still the same issue.

Anyone else having the same problem with their device? How did you solve it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Never had that problem but my suggestion would be to Odin the stock EG31 TAR. I can't say that enough, but when I am installing a ROM, personally I run that and autoroot it before flashing any ROM now. I know it adds time but I like coming from as stock as possible when flashing. I would try that thread and take it from there.

Its just a copy of the latest modem to flash if you want in Odin. Personally I flashed the modem and have run stock EG31 repack with CWM and have had NO LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Radical-J:
Yep, that happened to me yesterday when I got a replacement. Fresh root, Odin back to stock and all day long back and forth and could not get Caulks rom to run.

Just stuck at the lock screen. Couldn't swipe it open. Wipe cache/Dalvik did nothing.

RESOLUTION: COMPLETE FACTORY DATA WIPE IN RECOVERY worked perfect...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
hmmm if I knew how to run stock EG31 and have it repacked with CWM i would do it but I have no clue on how to do the thing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Check out the auto root thread. Option C if you already have root installs the stock EG31 kernel with CWM and also gets rid of the yellow triangle

LINK
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robert_ayala:
The odd thing is that this happened to both phones on the same day. Its like it was a programmed event. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
ok will try later on now Im just gonna try this rom out and I already have my triangle removed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Have at it, you can also use this ROM and change up your kernel/recovery whenever you like etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Loving this ROM with the ICS theme. What's next as far as updates /changes ? I am very happy so far. Stable , fast , and good battery life.

Only ROM that will make me switch is the big ICS development to bring official Android. 4.0 to our Galaxy S2. But that's a ways off still...

Sprint Galaxy S2 Calk's 1.5a + ICS theme 1.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kenneu:
I went back to ChrisG EG31+CWM after flashing this ROM. I know that some of the scripts don't work, but battery life has been pretty good for me. I've cycled it twice (dead to complete charge) and that made a world of difference.

See the following screenshot: Screen-on time was a little over an hour with about 10 minutes of voice calls. I watched about 15 minutes of football on ESPN 3 over 4G last night and surfed the web a little. I would consider it light usage, but over 2 days is pretty good to still have 20%...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Chris has a new EG31 repackaged with cwm that fixes those issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
So there is no way of using dd to copy the modem partition and then reimage it if you want to go back?

For battery life, I have been turning off 3G and using 1x when not using the browser or streaming. I actually do stream LastFm in 1x and it does ok, just takes a little longer if I skip to a new song early.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
Running 1.5a with Steady's 1.1

Just used Tegrak to UV the CPU at all steps by -125mv, ondemand @ 800MHz. GPU -75mv at both steps.

Phone is completely usable. CPUspy confirms nothing over 800MHz.

It seems altogether silly that I can toss away this much horsepower and still have a functional phone.

Soooo curious to see how my battery life goes over the next few days.......

Big ups to xlGmanlx for showing the way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Nice! Chris uploaded a new stock repackaged EG31 kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
What tegrak version do you use? Do you use the tegrak kernel?
