Has anybody else had their backlight stay on with this ROM? I used my phone on my lunch break. When I came back about 2 hours later, the screen was still on and my battery is almost dead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Lol...no problems here, have you checked under dispaly settings for backlight timeout?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
No problem. Glad to help balla!

This is the go to spot right here. I am trying to find the link to the other place I get mine from. Its been a bit but I will post it shortly. Definitely check out the blackout/inverted Dropbox! Its great. The inverted apps make a big difference on these SAMOLED screens when it comes to battery. I always set my XDA app or Tapatalk to dark/simple style as well. Almost all of the OG Epic battery saving tips carry over to this phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
A little early present.....

Based on EK02 but no hotspot hack since I haven't finished porting it. All other mods/tweaks are there tho except it uses the EK02 kernel, so undervolting can only be done with Tegrak

E4GT ROM (v2.0)

E4GT Bare ROM (v2.0)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Downloaded and flashed the "bare Rom", and stuck on the initial boot screen; did a full wipe, and used Caulks wipe as well...:eek:

EDIT:

Well, I can't boot, and I can't get into recovery...This is an all Mac house, no windows machines here, so I can't use Odin either...

Can someone give me some ideas on what my next step could be?

thank you very much!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
I flashed the E4GT ROM (v2.0) full version and all looks well so far. Currently at what looks to be a new boot animation of colors / shades lol. I likes haha.

Now at tw launcher so the full version looks good to go!

Thanks Calk. Will be using this to see if my hot reboots go away now that its on the EK02 base / kernal and Droid 2.3.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Bad download? Because I tested both before uploading
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nemssn4cer:
Calkulin, any ETA on the final code with the hotspot hack.

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Cant tell man, because, I can't get into recovery now either, and I don't have any windows machines to try to Odin..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Steady Hawkin:
Flashed the Bare 2.0, working great! Thanks Calk :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The Mobile Odin app is working on our phone and has been successfully been used to flash EK02 ROM by a user. EDIT...guess you can't use that app if you can't boot phone...brain cramp
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
yes, but how do you use it, if you can't get your phone to even start up?

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
yes john it odes work and that is probably gonna be the best suggestion, but can he get the phone to even boot to get the app open to try it???:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I just edited my post. Yeah unfortunately that's not going to work. You can't get into recovery or download mode? Damn you guys are quick. I didn't even have time to edit my post! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drivinfast247:
Lol. Its on 30 secs as always. Hmmmm...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I can't get into recovery, but I can get into download mode..problem is, no windows computer here, only OSX, running Lion 10.7.2...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
i just download and it wont boot for me either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
If you have a windows machine, you can use odin to restore to stock; I don't have that ability...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
Install heimdall on your Mac
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
great minds think alike..I re-flashed a base kernel through Heimdall, and got this thing to boot again..WHEW!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Thanks! Works great here and I like the fact there's no hotspot hack since I pay for tethering.

Edit: only posted because others mentioned it wasn't working for them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Sweet thanks Calk! Quick question ... I'm guessing the hotspot hack will be a simple update to flash when you get it ported? I'm not going to restore any Apps or App data this time around so I don't want to do it twice hehe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I don't know how I forgot about Heimdall but glad everything worked out wase
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I thought I was the only one paying for Hotspot left. I can't let it go unless 4g gets hacked as well. The more current Wifi Tethers have gotten much closer (no turning off 4g then activating tether then turning back on 4g) also it doesn't drop randomly anymore but Hotspot is still better and its great on 4g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
+1 on this bro!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
yeah, I wasn't sure if "rerooting" through Heimdall would end up making it even worse, but all's well that ends well!

I think I will wait until Dec 26th, and buy a cheap windows laptop for ~200 bucks, just to keep this from happening again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
Hey wase4711 I have one I got from craigslist for got winI need windows functions for$50.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ranchosteve:
Just installed bare ROM and everything works fine so far. Thanks calk :) is the radio supposed to.change?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
You have to flash the modem separately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
I've tried to download both, but once I get to 5.1 MB downloaded it just stops. Any way it can be uploaded to another host?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Same thing happening to me. Stops at 5.1mb. Curse you Megaupload! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
I had a funny feeling that you would be the first one to release a ROM based off the OTA - thank you very much for your hard work and dedication!

Flashed 2.0 bare over my 1.5a bare with a cache and system format. Works beautifully.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
thanks man, but, since new ones are so damn cheap now, I'd rather just spend the 200 and get a warranty, and a fresh, out the box unit!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad--Dog:
same here probably being swamped... can we get a mirror in the house?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
Lol, yeah I here that bro, but I repair all that kind of stuff in my spare time at work at my job. So if it breaks I'll fix it.lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
if prices get any lower, peeps will just throw a bad lappy in the trash and not bother spending $$ on fixing it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Twice ive tried getting the rom going. Flashes fine, boots fine, apps restore fine, but twice I've failed to restore my texts and call log with mybackup pro. I restore texts and calls and try to reboot but it always gets locked at the lockscreen upon swiping the lockscreen its just black, then bootloops. Could it be launcherpro? It reboots fine to launcherpro before I restore texts...weird. want to get it working but I need my call log and texts. I know its mybackup pro's restore cus I isolated my reboots and that's the only thing I did after a successful reboot(which I did after setting launcher pro as default.) Everything else is great though, no complaints here. Great work once again

Is it possible for someone to try to restore texts/call log to verify?(with a nandroid of course, that's what I needed after each time it happened). Any better ways to restore texts? Just worried about stability if that messes it up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Are you choosing a default launcher before your reboot? If not, you're going to get bootloops.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
All proper steps were taken, twice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jvjidNite:
Just downloaded from Calk's link. Works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
I've tried downloading each file 6 times now...gets stuck at 5.1 MBs and won't go any further.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Just want to make sure before I flash the EK02 ROM...

I need to flash the Format All .zip prior to flashing the ROM, correct?

If so, I can flash the EK02 right after flashing the Format All .zip in the same CWM session, Correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad--Dog:
does this new one have ciq removed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
So nobody has tried restoring call logs or texts yet? Can't imagine anybody would have a different result, so im pretty sure its gonna be an issue for more than myself. Flashed both the odex and deodex of the ek02 last night to create nandroids and had no problem with data restore. gotta figure it out. Anybody suggest a dif app to backup of call logs and texts? Mybackup pro has never failed me before for that...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drivinfast247:
Mine dl'd just fine. Its flashed and running as we speak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
So, is anyone willing to upload a mirror? Megaupload is still crapping out on me. Made it all the way to 77 MBs once, and then it stopped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
if i use calks wipe all, it wont erase my apps right? cant really remember, i think ppl were reporting that it does but i think it didnt wipe mine... lol cant remember
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
I use mybackup pro to restore texts and bookmarks without any problem on my end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
thanks, then in that case i'm gonna try again but wait to set launcherpro as default. I'll restore and just reboot to TW. That MUST be it. maybe a problem with the launcherpro thats provided?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
Does the 2.0 rom require the ek02 modem? I'm holding off till the official release or we can roll back. EG30 has been good on my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
No, you can flash the ROM and the KERNEL separately from the modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Any initial impressions on this rom from anyone who has flashed it?

Any big differences between this release and 1.5a?

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
Is the 2.0 Bare rocking the new Rogue kernel or is it stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drybonz:
Are most people flashing 2.0 over 1.5a, or wiping first?

Also... is the EK02 modem in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367695 safe to use with Calk's 2.0?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
I used Calk's wipe all zip, only cause I'm anal. I believe though I have heard some have only wiped system and cache. Which is not an option on the Rogue recovery (correct me if I'm wrong). I just flashed the EK02 modem just prior to flashing v2.0 and all is well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
2.0 is comes with the ek02 kernel repacked with Rogue Recovery.

I flashed 2.0 over 1.5a, just cleared cache. You can only flash the modem if your baseband is EG30 and should be safe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drybonz:
Ok, thanks... I was just trying to avoid a wipe because I just had to do one a couple days ago. Is the EK02 radio in the link I posted above the one you are using?

*edit* Yes, I'm on EG30.

*edit* So I am going to wipe cache, then flash Calk's 2.0, then flash this EK02 radio...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
Yes it's the first link. It was rather painless too.

Edit: I flashed the modem first and then the ROM. I doubt it makes a difference, just figured if there were going to be any problems because of a lack of wipe wipe I would have my bases covered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drybonz:
Thanks for the replies.

*edit* Everything seems to have gone fine. I'm on Calk's 2.0 with the EK02 modem. Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Guess I'll ask again...

Would someone mind uploading 2.0 to another file hosting site? Megaupload just isn't working for me tonight, and I'd really like to flash this.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Finally got it goin. Something about using launcherpro, restoring launcher pro backup, and restoring texts from mybackup pro causes boot loops. Goin fine now, did things in different order with nandroids and reboots along way to isolate problems. Can't tell if I should go for the modem now or not, doesn't seem to be enough feedback yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
Give me a sec...dropbox has a few more minutes of uploading...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Awesome. Thanks man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
Happy flashing!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
You rock man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
So how come v2.0 is available but isn't posted here? Is it more "beta" than his v1.5a ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
It should be a few pages back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] do_9999:
I like appextractor. Must have in my opinion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Thanks, will look into it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Yep, sho' nuff. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
No problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HappyFillmore:
Megaupload is hosed it stops at 5.1mb. Anyone got a different link for the full caulk 2.0?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
One page back buddy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HappyFillmore:
The dropbox is for the Download Calkulin's_E4GT_Bare_ROM_v2.0.zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
my bad, a couple more pages back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
If anything I can try to upload it at work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
Double post
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dodgeboy:
Which recovery allows you to wipe system without wiping data?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
so, can anyone see or feel any differences between 1.5 and 2.0, or do they seem about the same?

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
someone said you cant clear cache and dalvic with the rogue recovery, that is false, did it this morning, flashed 2.0 over 1.5a running full ek02 set up and so far everything is running great, no issues i can see. will report any if they come up.

thanks caulk nice work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
Where do you find 2.0? Is there a different thread?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoobmd:
He was sneaky and snuck it into- check out post #2896- page 290.

There are mirrors a few postings after that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
Thanks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
also i have been on battery for over 3 hours now with lite use and have only gone down 1%. better than ever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtwconsulting:
Sorry if this is covered somewhere within this thread. Too many post to go through.

I just installed this ROM and so far so good. I had the Starburst ROM before. In the Startburst ROM there was a way to change the type of lock screen. I've taken a look through the setup screens but couldn't find something. I don't like the stock lock screen. I really like the semi-arc lock screen that let's you silence the phone, unlock or go straight to test messages. Anyone know how I can get that?

Thanks, and sorry if this is a basic question.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Don't believe there's a mod yet for it, soon though I'm sure. Flashing previous versions of the lockscreen mod would prob cause bootlops until they update it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
I am running Widget locker. Also GO Locker is a good one too.

Sprint Galaxy S2 w/ Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I am running the sneak peak rom and I for me it has improved the rotation lag. It is still there but no where near as bad as it was.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I like widget locker as well, however for some reason it feels like it makes my phone lag overall....call me crazy but I swear it does...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
I can just flash this over right

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Didnt like 2 or 3 updates back encourage us to flask the 31 modem? Now people who did that cant use this one? Is that going to happen with this 02 modem aswell since modems are getting released alot it seems like and arnt backwards compatible? Is 02 compatible with 30?

Also i recomend WidgetLocker. Its never failed for ever. If any one wants a link i know of a sight that i sware has atleast 100-200 different locks that can be used with it which blows even that 11lick mod out of the water and to the moon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Is it possible to get the focuc shutter sound back in the camera?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
Link me! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
Could someone upload a mirror link for the v2.0, the regular one not bare

Thanks:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madocs:
so, more interesting (to me) news on Android OS usage. I flashed the ACS EK02 ROM last night, no modem update as I am on 31. My aos usage is back up to the high sixties. Not sure if this adequately correlates anything, but I thought for a moment that 31 resolved aos issue for me. I know it is a debated topic, but now that I've experienced low and high aos usage on the same phone - battery life is worse for me with high usage. See below:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] omair2005:
both links are dead..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
I'm changing the OP now, so I reuploaded a newer version that has Tegrak profiles included
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I did a full format/wipe last night and moved to full EK02 (Calk 2.0 Full, Stock EK02 kernel and EK02 modem). I used Tegrak Ultimate to undervolt by 50 on each step, and re-installed most of my Apps manually. Probably overkill on the re-installs but I was getting occasional hot reboots on 1.5a so I wanted to clean out any misbehaving App data.

So far it's been excellent. I rarely suffered from any signal or battery problems, so I'm not the best test case for what may have improved on the new base, but so far the phone is running great.

Great work Calkulin thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
Thanks a lot Calk! You the man!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M2Iceman:
Same here, went to bed at 100% and woke up 7 hrs later to 30%, OUCH!! My wife's is getting the same crappy drainage. My AOS is a big reason why.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
So is the one in the OP the latest one that was re upped

Sent from my mistress
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
I wonder if Calkulin will have an update by the time he comes back to post something? If so would we have to clear anything or could we just flash over the current ROM?

P.S. This ROM is ridiculously fast and sooo smooth! The work put into these ROMs are amazing! Thank you Calkulin for developing on the ET4G!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steelersmb:
My battery is at 62%, I just flashed and my fastest Quadrant score is about 3236. Don't understand how people are posting scores over 4000

Edit: I see that the battery script is lowering the CPU to 1.0 Ghz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luigic81:
2 questions

#1. I also noticed that the script is lowering the mhz to 1000 instead of 1200, how do I fix that?

#2. For those who are successfully running the ICS theme, whaat did you do? I got hot reboots
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cornelious1212:
I cab confirm that Google music isn't working for me. It will load, but when you hit play, it thinks but doesn't ever play.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ptfdmedic:
Does anyone else not have a charging light when plugged into the charger.

This ROM is amazing. Great job and thanks for sharing...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
What editor is a good one for editing the script files?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
flashed ADW launcher, and phone went into the lock screen/blackscreen endless loop again..

sweet rom, but, if I can't customize it the way I want to, its not for me right now..

back to midnight 2.2 for me, until an update comes out for this...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
I sometimes get that too. I just reboot to fix it. Not sure what the cause is
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jvjidNite:
Charging light works for me, no issues with it since using this rom. I do believe he removed the charging sound since I don't have that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CNDow:
Working fine here

Charging light is fired up for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
Not sure what all the issues people are having. I used the formatall, flashed and everything works perfectly.

I have no issues with ADW Ex, Google Music, charging lights, etc.

Most I restored using Titanium. There were a few that necessitated a complete new install.

Reading a few posts here and there, I think some people are making the mistake of restoring system data with Titanium. That is going to cause major issues. You should only be restoring apps and, at most, app data. Anything more totally defeats the full wipe you were supposed to have done before you flashed.

.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yogib83:
****!!

I've got a probelm!!

I ran the wipe .zip, and installed the ROM .zip, rebooted, and now my phone is stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S II boot screen. I luckily made a backup of my original ROM. However, I CANNOT get into recovery mode using (Volume UP & Power), to restore my backup. Although, I can access DL Mode (Volume DOWN & Power), but I am running Linux and heimdall wont recognize my phone.

Please Help!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
If this happens, try to call out. Likely LOS peeking its head in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kcyen18:
I have no problems with the rom, I tested out google music and works fine for me. No reboot problems from power menu. batterys good. rom is indeed very smooth.

I did however can not found some apps on the market place, I assume rom is using the newest update.

I too would like to know how to adjust the battery setting and cpu speed. It'll be nice if someone can write out a thorough guide.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
All my problems occurred with FRESH installs of stuff, like ADW ex...This first release has some rough spots for a lot of folks..I've been flashing stuff for many many years, so I never restore data from any backup for this exact reason...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oubravs2b:
Which framework.jar did you use for hotspot? I tried the one in the original hack post, but didn't want to work for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] liquidhaste:
Wow calkulin you've brought some much needed uber skill to the e4gt community. This rom is the best yet. Superior battery life and fast as hell. Use this plus viper mod los checker and you love your phone. Glad to see some evo devs coming over to the darkside, cause we know samsung won't be helping us out much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
what does the -100 undervolt actually do? better battery life? or better performance?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Im actually fine with the underclocking according to battery %, I just wonder how to re enable it if you manually raise it temporarily. Like if you raise it for a benchmark and then lower it again will it kick back to the battery saver script?

Extend battery life

So wait I'm confused. Can we our can't we go to v2.0 if we have the E31 modem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
Thanks graffix and everyone else who offered suggestions.

I get the 30 to 90 second resets even with a default launcher. Checking home switcher, I can see that TW is the default launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] footfingmaster:
Yes you can. I'm running 2.0 on E31 modem, with no problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
People have to understand that flashing the Rom such as Calks 2.0 is not going to change or affect the modem therefore you can flash any Rom you want while on E31 Modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
I think the confusion may be the title includes EK02 so they think when they flash the ROM that they are getting updated to EK02 Modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
Ever since I jumped on EK02 Kernal / EG31 Modem and now Calks 2.0 EK02 Rom, I havnt had not 1 hot reboot yet!

So far so good. Coming from the BLazer rom to this one I did use Calks format script and on every rom till now I had hot reboots on every single rom.

EK02 Kernal + EG31 Modem + EK02 Base Rom = No Hot Reboots.... So far at least...
