[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saj070:

i am up on 2.9 - el29 kernal and fb15 no problem no issues everything working smooth..

would like to know if there is any difference in speed ? battery > or performance of tower

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
After like 100 times trying to connect to Odin, it finally took, and now, it's flashing stock rooted EL29. Wow! That was scary! I thought I was never going to be able to flash again and the world was going to end (just like in the movies).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] A10Loogie:
what lead me down this whole trail to begin with was that I did not have access to the Market because it was throwing an error. It's all good now though.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

You 'da man! Here's the whole sordid tale just in case anyone else runs into it. After upgrading to Calkulin 2.9 the Market was borked. Another user suggested that the packaged kernel was the problem so I flashed a different kernel (Rogue) and in the process somehow trashed my recovery-and didn't fix the Market issue either. I travel for a living and didn't bring my computer this time so I couldn't ODIN a new recovery.

Thanks to SRKMagnus for showing me the light with MobileODIN. I downloaded the lite version, the kernelflash package for the E4GT and the Recovery tar file. Everything seemed to be OK except that when I flashed the recovery the phone ended up in a boot loop. I did a battery pull and got it booted into the new recovery. From there I was able to restore my Nandroid backup.

What a PIA, but thanks for all your help guys! XDA rocks!

Loogie
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
For anyone running 2.9, just wanted to share that I got the battery saving to work again.

I just took the script from 2.8.1, moved it into my 2.9, overwriting the old one, wiped dalvik and rebooted and it was good to go.

So, if you're on Calk's 2.9 and you miss battery saving goodness, do this:

Download Calk's 2.8.1

Open the zip file and navigate to: Calkulin's_E4GT_ROM_v2.8.1.zip\system\etc\init.d\3cpufreq_screenstate_scaling

Extract and copy that file to your current rom's /etc/init.d/ folder, overwriting the one that is there. (hint, use root explorer or ES file system browser in root mode)

Make sure the permissions are as follows on the file: rwxr-xr-x

Wipe dalvik

Reboot

Enjoy battery savings

Notes:

Calk's 2.9 battery saver script is labeled version 1.5, compared to version 1.4 in his 2.8.1; The newer one is about 20 lines longer...

I read through it but I'm not gonna try to mod calk's stuff - i just decided to try his previous version and have been met with savings again.

I thought about posting the script here as an attach but that might be a dbag move to repost somebody's work without their consent. So, download it from his links. :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wildside84:
Keep getting errors for Google + on this ROM, anyone else experience this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
So, I got back to my nandroid backup and all was well. So, I figured it would be cool to try installing the 2.9 ROM from scratch after a completely fresh copy of rooted one click. The market was fooked. Here was my process.

One click rooted 2.9 complete restore

flash calk's format all

flash 2.9 ROM

go to market and try to install Mobile Odin and get error 492

try to install ROM manager and get error 492

try to install various other apps from market and get error 492

go back to recovery and restore 2.8.1 backup and say screw it

smile and know I am still on a great ROM

Cheers
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
battery saving

so default install the battery save script isn't working?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Did you do a normal reboot before going to the market? Or a wipe caches/reboot? I ask because I never had any 492 errors from the market on any of my installs including 2.9. I'm pretty anal about letting the phone sit for 10min or so untouched after a fresh install, then updating profile/prl, and finally a reboot before I start setting stuff up. So I'm curious if my procedure has anything to do with it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Damn, you are one patient fella.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Well, I went straight to market after flashing the ROM and signing into google. It wouldn't allow me to install anything. I never had to wait any amount of time on any other build. I doubt that has anything to do with anything, really. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Anal, huh?...did you use lube, jelly, or syrup?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kurtosterhage:
I fixed the 492 error on my phone by wiping data/factory reset.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] socalborn:
Updating

If I am just updating from 2.8 do I just need to clear cache, flash, and reboot? Oh yeah, I also have the Honey theme installed. Is there anything special I have to do because of that? Thanks for your help in advance, ha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
clear both caches and reboot. You should be good. If you have any issues with the theme not sticking 100%, just reflash the theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Syrup? That's a new one; might as well use glue.

There's additional background services that run at first boot. Different roms have varying levels of it. Just look at the init.d folder, you see a first boot script? Chances of things getting screwy increases when you don't allow these services to finish without interruption. Its akin to installing windows on a PC. Now whether this has any impact on helping this market error, I wouldn't know and that why I asked if you did wait or not.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nannuq:
Coming from 2.8 I flashed calk's format all then 2.9. Once in I signed in to my google account and let the sync finish. Went to the market to grab "my backup pro" to restore my apps and data. However, I kept getting "error 492" and couldn't download anything. So I tried reinstalling the market and wiping the market data with no effect, same issue. So I did a factory reset from the recovery and rebooted. Now my market works just fine. Thought I would share this encase someone else has the same issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] socalborn:
Nevermind..ha

Is the Kernel that comes with 2.9 better than the Hitman Kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I went and gave it another shot. This time I:

Flashed the one click rooted EL29

Flashed 2.9 ROM without flashing format all

Went straight to market with no reboot

All apps downloaded and installed fine

Smiled a happy smile
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drearyfela:
im only getting 3g speeds with the sprint hotspot with 4g on. this is on 2.8.1. whats up with that? reflashing didnt help. running el29 everything no other mods.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
You were right, there was a problem with the script in v2.9, I had a extra fi in there that was causing it to not process after the first profile, so I'll releasing a version soon with this fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
After successfully installing straight from a fresh install of OC rooted EL29, I figured I'd try after format all. It works fine. I don't understand why it didn't work the first 2 times. The first time was with no wip coming straight from 2.8.1. The second time was from EL29 and format all. Third time was the charm after install of EL29 with no wipe. Then I guess it was "game on". Very odd how that happened but, I'm glad it's working now. I like to rip a bunch of unwanted apps from the ROM before I install it and to have all that bloatware from not wiping the OC Stock Rooted is maddening. Uninstalling with titanium is ok but, much nicer to never had the apps installed in the first place. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Custodian:
Could you kindly post the script kind sir? Until calk can release an update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
pulled this from the old zip on my phone... of course remove the .txt extension... (this is from 2.8.1)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
You guys do know the updated(fixed) version is up right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
lol. no, didn't. lmfao.

whats with the rotation/crt swapping game? LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Governor options? How does that work? Can I just replace the script? Everything is all setup in 2.9 and don't feel like setting it all up again and flashing the rotation zip just to apply script changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
i'm DLing the update to pull the script, to do Just That.

I can either PM it to you, or post it here, depending on if Calkulin says ok or "don't do that, won't work for such n such reason..."

Anyone? Opinion?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Henri Blanche:
Hoping this is something just specific to my phone... but upgrading to 2.9.1 from 2.9 has caused my phone to be nothing more than a series of force closes. I cleaned out the caches as usual. A fresh download of 2.9.1 did not help.

Whoops.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I've already replaced it with the one from the update. I just don't know what the options are or how to work them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
well, since your phone didn't explode, i'll post it here for others to play with. ;)

no probs yet on my end either.

this is from 2.9.1, and of course remove the .txt extension.

anyone know what that is
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Meatwad, you got this? Its cool, I'm patient... :p

I think this 492 error has something to do with specifically wiping data and/or caches before or after flashing the rom. There's been much talk about this error over multiple roms, so a search may uncover more info.

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

What do you mean you lost root? Like you dont have super user? Do you still have recovery? If so, do a complete wipe and reflash.

If you dont have recovery, odin using sfhubs one click stock restore and then use the autoroot kit to flash a kernel with cwm, and then reflash calk from there.

Are the battery profiles automatic or can I set my CPU to just run at 800 MHz? If so how do you set the profiles. Little confused on how they work.:confused:

cant get into cwm after flash

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
What I did was flash 2.91rom let it boot all the way up and sit for about 10 min and then I went back flashed cache and dvalk cache and then flashed hitman kernel and then retarded my phone and it loaded up normal for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
....

So on the e4gt you dont flash the rom and kernel then reboot? Thats what I did....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The Rom already has the e29 kernel built-in. It is your choice to install a different one after the fact. However, certain circumstances may cause you problems so as the previous user stated, you should let the basic install boot and settle in before making any changes. If you still have problems with Hitman, try Gunslinger it is the same kernel but without touch recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nitronet:
Well I restored from a backup and got my root back, then tried to flash 2.9.1 again and it broke my root again, all my root apps say root access not detected.

Never ever had an issue with an update, but I am staying on 2.8.1 for now until this gets resolved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
fixed it

Had to flash odin like I re-rooted it then flashed the kernel recovery with odin and now im good... wont flash a rom and kernel at the same time... learned my lesson :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Just curious what you mean by flashing odin like you rerooted?

It's not the Go Suite...please dont give a great app a bad name before doing research.

Go Launcher Dev Team is the maker of go launcher, go locker, go notifications, go search widgit, go calendar widget, and go contacts widget, i am running all of these in addition to two different ics themes for go launcher and an ics lock screen for go locker along with ics go widget themes.

I have never gotten an ad in the notification area. I even used air push detector and nothing came back...

Please don't knock a top notch launcher with push ad rumors...

The only notification "ad" is when they release a new version of a theme and thats the go store letting you know there is a new theme

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

Guys,

I see a whole lot of posts on here that users wipe cach/dalvik cache when updating this ROM.

CALK clearly states on the OP that there's no need to wipe anything AS THE SCRIPT IN THE ROM WIPES WHAT IS NEEDED. Then I see people post issues.

Not saying that wiping cache/dalvik is a bad thing. But just follow the DEVs instructions and everything falls into place. (most of the times). Reason I mention this, is because I NEVER wipe and just flash the ROM/UPDATE and have never ran into any issues.

Again...another great build form Calk. :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btaylor545:
Amen go store is the only pop up I get too its a great launcher was on launcher pro till I started using GO and it is way more customizable than any other launcher I've used
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
OK, that's the only pop up I have seen is for updates to Go Locker themes. Its probably some MP3 app or something. Air Push Detector will tell the story. For me it was MP3 Music Download. The one with red and black icon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toonlinkmaster25:
No while I was on 2.8 and even stock it wouldn't turn the screen on, because that makes it really easy for your screen to turn on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
I'm not knocking their stuff.

I made a guess as to what it might be... I came to that because i don't have ads and i flashed calk's bare ROM which did not include Go apps.

I like their stuff, i use go weather, and I'm glad it's not them causing it. Happy to be wrong, and i agree i probably shouldn't have humped to conclusions

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Its a good habit to get into. Someone might use a different rom sometime and expect a script to wipe and it might not. That'll create some headaches most certainly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Ok. First of all, you be trippin'. Every time I just flashed with no wipe on this or any other ROM (this build included), I have had tons of problems right from the get go. If that works for you...great. I personally tried that, couldn't download anything from market and couldn't get into cwm to save my sack. Mobile Odin couldn't run either. If someone does have problems, their best bet is to start from Odin stock on the build that the ROM is based off of. End of story. There is no better way to flash in my opinion. There is no way for anything to get left behind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
OK first of all...'I ain't trippin'.

I know that wiping is the best route to take so things don't get left behind.

The method that I use works for me...great...it may not work for you...great.

It was just a suggestion.
