This is a good day for epic touch owners. I will definitely be re-building my theme around this tonight. Thanks Calk!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] biassj:
Nice to have the format all script back(came from Evo using Calk's script). I hate going to three different menus to wipe on CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Now THATS'S what I'm talking about!!!

Great to see the Evo "posse" moving over here, slowly but surely...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
yes it does, also there is a wipe all zip in the OP

This is not stock so it has plenty of tweaks etc that make this ROM fly and sip battery, both are good, Calk is another talented Dev for the ET4G, flash and find out!

I believe one and the same
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
He is the same dev from the touch pro days

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Just as an fyi - I had asked Caulkin about this earlier and he told me that it will break some of his tweaks..... I choose to go with GoLocker for the time being until the Lock Screen mod is integrated with Caulkins tweaks.

Right now battery life is great and I dont want to mess that up...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KELO777:
Has anybody tried this ?

CAN WE USE THIS KERNEL ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel[v6.02] ON THIS ROM ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EJayMz:
+1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I have not used it but dont see why you could not give it a try

Um, might be time to pick up an ET4g?

i personally like the kernal on the rom it self, very fast and stable. but he did say you can flash other kernals.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
Totally agree.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
You tried widget locker or Go Launcher Ex ? Widget locker has them all and Go Launcher Ex has great ones too that never cause any problems. If you don't want to change launchers I highler suggest widget locker. Works like a dream
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Whats so strange is this is the first rom I have flashed that wouldn't allow me to restore from my backup pro. I only restore apk's, and, I have flashed every rom available for this phone in the last 2 months, and this is the first one to give me this problem.

On both my old Evo's, it was always hit and miss, as to whether you could restore programs from any back up, TB included.

Once I know I am keeping a rom for awhile, I will usually take my time restoring, but, like I said, this is the first rom for THIS phone, that wouldn't restore from my backup pro..

believe it or not, I was able to restore some apps from a TB backup I had from a few weeks ago...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
I haven't seen this mentioned, but I've come across one issue. I let my bat die completely and charged the phone...once I booted up.(after running the rom with no issues)...

Phone gets to the lockscreen and just bootloops. I can't swype to unlock the phone/lockscreen. I have to either do a restore via cwm or completely do the zip that wipes everything and reflash the rom. Very strange indeed.

I can't even reboot or go to cwm to flash anything due to the issue of not being able to access the phone after a simple reboot.

Any one else experience this problem???

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nickcash:
I have ben running this rom for about 2 days and im getting excellent battery life!!!!!! The best I've ever gotten on any phone with any rom ever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rsloan:
Ikr These guys are great! The rom is awesome btw :-D anyone using you work should know they are in great hands
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It may be because Calk's has more or different tweaks baked in. Since Hotspot hack is baked in, the lockscreen mod may break it. We have to wait for Crawrj to make a Calk version of the AIO (all in one) mod that gets them working properly together...edit..unless someone got brave and tested flashing both already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crevis24:
I got the same exact issue and couldn't figure it out.........strange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Is there anyone out there getting not so good battery life? I just calibrated battery and have lost 12% in 27 minutes. Don't really have anything running in background, can't figure what it would be. got only 7 1/2 hrs today but I didn't think much of it cus I was streaming radio in a bad service area, now I'm just doing a little surfing and it's plunging. Any ideas? Think I'll just do another battery calibration.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chazglenn3:
Not totally true...the ROM comes with Wireless Tether, but the Sprint Hotspot doesn't work for me...is it supposed to?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigsc:
Im having problems downloading this rom, is there some sort of mirror I can use ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Can't figure it out neither. I am running the ROM right now...really like it. I don't think it's a bad download, as I am running the rom with no other issue. Except for the bootloop on the lockscreen upon reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaysmi32:
I just recharged, loving battery life
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
My display percentage in battery stats is unusually high, I'll give it a few more charge cycles before I really start troubleshooting. But it's strange, down to 78% and only 54 minutes on battery. Let it charge fully from completely dead, and actually had the patience to do it with the phone off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
If you are using it a lot that's normal. Try using system panel or spare parts etc to trouble shoot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Thx , will do. Haven't been using it enough to warrant the drain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
The ROM says EG30, but after flashing the ROM, the first thing I did was check "about phone", the screenshot is attached below.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Means it is based off the stock EG30 pulled ROM. If you've flashed your MODEM to EG12 there is no way to get it back to EG30.

Anyone having problems with apps loading from their SD card after a reboot? Just started this morning, flashed this on 11/4.

Thanks so much man. I ran your work on my EVO my G-Tablet and you were actually what made me decide to go Epic Touch. You rock Calk!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] basketthis:
I am experiencing much better speed test results with the 26 modem software and this ROM! VERY pleased with it. I was getting about 1MB d/l speed with the EK02 modem on 3G. I get around 1.5MB with the 26 modem now on 3G. Its easy enough to flash them in recovery, reboot, test 3-4 times with speedtest, average results and determine the better of them... :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
The FormatAll script does one thing that your method does not, it wipes the /system partition. Clockwork, Amon-Ra, & TWRP recoveries all skip this partition, even on a factory data reset/wipe all user data.

One does not need to know anything about this particular device, just the Android OS in general to answer this question. Unless you deleted Calk's script in the init.d folder it is overriding your setting in whatever app you are using to attempt to control the CPU. Why you would want to do this & in effect disable the battery saver script that Calk built into the ROM is beyond me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stikman:
I am having 2 problems so far with 2.7 that I am not sure how to fix or even approach figuring out what to fix.

As you can see in the included images, in the ~12 hours I had my phone on, I used it very very little. Despite this, the amount of time my phone was awake looks like it was 7+ hours. I was asleep for a huge portion of that. What possible reasons could cause my phone to be turning itself on and staying on so often?

My second problem is that since flashing 2.7, my email no longer updates without me manually going in and updating it. I have Auto-Sync checked in my settings, and could not find any other settings anywhere in Accounts and Sync or the Gmail app to manage this.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
From your question I am assuming you are trying to make the change as follows:

1.0GHz - 100-85%

1.0GHz - 84-36%

800MHz - 35-0%

To do that change:

MAX_CPU_SPEED_PROFILE_1="1000000"

MAX_CPU_SPEED="1000000" (Calks original setting) is used for setting when battery % is between 84-36% and if BATTERY_PROFILES_ON is set off.

I am a shell scripting novice, so anyone can feel free to correct anything I said. If I have misinterpreted your question, please clarify.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
Good write up. I have found this calibration method to work well in the past as well.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
Turn off auto sync, & or get an app like Juice Defender to turn of the radios when you're not using the phone. On my wife's E4GT with JD set to the default aggressive profile & minimal usage I can easily get 48+ hours on a single charge, just by controlling the radios, & when apps sync. Battery was still at 69%, & as you can see the phone is not awake when not in use.

Ok, so another random question: How did sdglenn uninstall Media Hub, Social Hub, and Email? I want to remove these since I wont ever use them but I see no option to remove them in either the Task Manager or Market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoeleven99:
download titanium backup and use that to uninstall
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
I get the gmail app not syncing a lot. Just go in and toggle the auto sync on and off and you should be good.

It is do to the stock kernel.

For those who want a boot animation, try this link. Flash the one that is for Stock ROMs. Worked for me.

Now and then my Gmail does not sync right, usually after flashing something or restoring a nandroid. This is what I do. Works everytime.

-Menu

-Settings

-Applications

-Manage Applications

-Select All Tab

-Select Gmail

-Clear Data

-Clear Cache

After which you will have to go into Gmail and reapply your ringtones and misc settings.

Good Luck

System app remover
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidSPCS:
Very interesting reply. If none of the other recoveries wipe the /system partition, wouldn't it cause a lot of issues for new ROMs since that is where the Android system is stored?

According to this link: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...plained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/ this is where all of the Android system apps reside.

If you never wipe this wouldn't it be a big omission? Why do none of the other recoveries wipe this partition? You would think it should be wiped by default prior to installing new ROMs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Every recovery has the ability to format the /system partition. You just need to find the option. In CWM, it is under "Mounts and Storage". Whether the /system partition is wiped when flashing a new rom is entirely dependent on the updater script in the rom zip.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jase33:
pinch to zoom on the screen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LilRico:
Pinch to zoom... I absolutely hate the camera app now. I went to the Magic game the other day and used the camera and learned the hard way. For some reason, the shutter speed for pictures is really delayed.... I also find the pictures not as crisp, but that's me comparing my pics to my girlfriends using the same phone except her has the stock camera app. There's no way you can take pictures of dunks or anything like that.... By the time I take the picture, the player is already making his way down the court and it's a blurry mess. I just use my girlfriends phone for photos now... :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] auau465121:
I agree worth u %100 they should be a zip to flash the old camera back from 2.5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSkylla:
I agree as well, the shutter lag is unacceptable for a camera of this caliber.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
So why suffer through a camera you don't like/want?

Just push the stock camera apk back to /system/apps. It takes like 30 seconds and then you are good to go.

If you use SugarSync, Minus or Dropbox, you can keep the apk in one of those clouds and always have it available to push after you flash new ROMs/version. Or even pack in the ROM zip before flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LilRico:
Already working on that fix. I'll just replace it with root explorer... I just don't want the camera shutter sound!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
to get rid of camera sound just get rid of the sound files using root explorer (I renamed them by adding .bak)

also shutter lag is not something I noticed was all that bad on this unit. do you mean it has bad lag or just the new camera version has bad lag?

this camera is capable of semi high speed shooting. I mean it does 1080p video.

Burst Cam lite will do 30fps with this cam but only at 800x480 so not all that useful.

in theory this cam should be able to handle at least 2MP even 3MP at 30fps since that is 1080p video anyway.

if someone made an app that would do 8MP at even 10fps I would pay for that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LilRico:
I'm thinking the new camera app isn't working well. I have a stock one that takes pictures with ease and when you tell it to take the picture it does. For some reason, this phone snaps the picture and you see it stay black and then it'll eventually load, but what you tried to take a picture of isn't want it took. So I get pictures of floors and other stuff thinking that it already took a picture of what I wanted, but it didn't. So taking pictures of moving objects is extremely difficult.

I'm going to take the camera app from version 1.0 of this ROM and I'll see if it gets better...

2.7 is just like 2.6 was for me, laggy. The touchscreen gets stuck and will freeze for up to 3 minutes then my screen will go nuts.

I didn't completely wipe. I just wiped delvik and cache then flashed just like before. Didn't have these problems on 2.5.1. Any one else experience this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSkylla:
Mike, I would suggest then doing a full wipe. When you restore your apps in titanium, do "restore missing apps" next time and see if that helps.

On a different note, I am getting fantastic 3G speeds consistently in my house and in my basement where I usually get worse service. 4G is getting 8Mbps download and 3G is consistently around 1Mbps, this is nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
2.6 was fine for me. 2.7 had some lag the first time I installed it, but it was only like 3 second lag, not 3 minutes... Most things I selected would darken as though it was selected, but stay that way for 3 second before actually loading or doing what it was supposed to do.

When I first flashed 2.7 I just let the ROM do the wiping (as calkulin suggests when moving up from his own ROMs), but after the lag I tried manually wiping dalvik/cache and reflashing. I don't notice a lag now.
