what's the word with this BETA that is being talked about? Is that released by Calkulin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
That's the one!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
No. Calkulin's brother elbisivni released it to some of the super secret members. It's got a couple bugs being ironed out. Like, the UI seems to be nonexistent for some reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Very cool. I followed your instructions and now I have my Galaxy voice command back. AND it works with bluetooth. It took about 10 minutes but it was well worth it. I used WinRar instead of 7zip and Rom Toolbox for the root file editing since I already had that installed and its easy to use.

Thanks again SSax

Holy Crap Bugger you're such a troublemaker.

FYI, the new ROM doesn't need a UI. It interfaces directly with the human brain so the only need to remove the phone from your pocket is when it signals low charge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neverends:
Yea its out...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
It's not syncing for me. I better wipe a few times and then flash my neighbors.

Half of the stuff that will be in 2.9 can be done already, New kernel, location fix etc :p

Hello everyone, I would like somebody help me out here. I rooted and put this rom on my mothers epic touch back when she got the phone. I have not updated it at all. She is now getting this pop up, to update the phone. Below is a screenshot of the phones information, for somebody to help me out. I would like her phone to be up to date, and I am a little confused as to what to do, and what order to do it in. Any help, TIA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
Flash this ROM and flash or Odin EL29 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fgcchevy:
Does it matter, which i do first? Can i just flash the zipped modem through recovery? Do i need to wipe or can i just flash this rom over the current? TIA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Does NOT matter which you do first.

You CAN just flash a modem .zip through recover.

You do NOT have to wipe data.

You DO have to wipe cache and delvik cache.

Good deal. Glad you got it working.

Phone suddenly stopped booting

I was playing a game on this ROM when the my phone suddenly froze, (which is normal) but when I try to reboot it it stops after thome boot animation with everything going black and appearing to have shut off. Help please idk what happened. I haven't flashed anything in weeks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Before you do this, backup everything in titanium and do a nandroid backup, for the love of all that is good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Try booting into recovery, clearing both caches and restarting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
to the user flashing modem its a good idea to update profile/prl after flash.

I am having the same issue as that user. I deleted the vending.apk and replaced with the one you linked. It did take me back to the old market but still cant get things to download and I have closed and opened it multiple times and still hasnt updated to the new market.

I've never fooled arouned with GoLauncher, but i actually like it. But i just noticed that the capacitive touch button doesnt work with this launcher on the home page. But it works with all other pages as well as TW launcher. Im curious if its a GoLauncher issue or if its a bug within the ROM.

I have no idea

Been reading about the whole SD read ahead thing that increases SD read performance, but I can't seem to get it to work with my device. Tried using that SD speed increase app from the market, but when I use SD tools to test my speeds don't see to change at all. Anyone get this to work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
Works for me. 256 seems to be the sweet spot for my 16GB class 2 card. Using SD Tools I got 13.2/7.8 w/r. With the buffer set at 512 it was 11.1/6.1 w/r. Set at 1024 it dropped even further.

Is any one using set cpu and if so what are your settings?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ac3bot:
Calk, LOVE your ROM... tried several others, and always end up back here. Thanks!

Minor annoyance... and, honestly, my only complaint... when in-call while the screen is off (e.g., phone against my face), the volume rockers dont control the call volume. I have to pull the phone away from my face to activate the screen and then change the volume.

Is it supposed to be like this??

Also, my GPS is so, so weak... takes forever to "find location" ... is there a fix? (a GPS-sync/fix app, possibly?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Discussed a few times. It is a bug. As for the GPS it seems to vary between devices. There are a few threads discussing it but the fixes work for some and not others. In my case, none of them worked, so a replacement may be my only fix. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ac3bot:
Thanks for the reply. This thread is really long, I must've missed the in-call volume discussion. As for the GPS, I'll do some reading. Thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
As my ROM grows I have a ton of programs installed and the internal SD is getting kind of lengthy.

When I go to recovery I notice that all the directories are sorted according to whether the first letter is capitalized or not.

Ie. 'Download' shows up in a different place in the list vs. 'download'

Can I capitalize all (first letters) of them so they show up alphabetically, or will this break some programs?

Anyone know?

I don't remember if I saw it in here or the theme thread but someone else was having this.same problem.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Accidentally hit thanks. Lol. For GPS, try downloading GPS Status and in the app's settings, reset a GPS stats. For some the satellites start locking immediately after...and sometimes more of them

1x Signal after Calk 2.8.1

So I just got the S2 this weekend and rooted/installed with Calk 2.8.1. I noticed that my signal jumped between 3G with 1 bar and 1x with 2-3 bars constantly. I've never had problems with my EVO before and I'm curious if this is the LOS that everyone speaks of?

My current broadband is EK02, do you suggest upgrading the modem to something newer or can I even upgrade the modem with this ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Isriam:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
A few pages back in the middle of the SD read ahead discussion, somebody (whose name, I'm sorry to say, I can't remember) posted an init.d script to set the buffer at 256kb on boot. With a class 10 card you could probably go much higher, like 2048 or maybe 4096. You would just need to edit the value in the script. If you want to test different values to see which is fastest for you, you can manually edit the buffer file located in /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb. Start with 256 then run a test; then try 512 and run a test, etc. Don't use any oddball numbers like 345 or 276; stick with 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, etc. The manually edited file won't stick with a reboot, though. You can use the above mentioned script to set at boot or I believe ROM Toolbox Pro works as well.

I have a question about the internal usb storage (sd card) not an external sd card.

Long story short to get rid of some issues I have with apps being on the SD (external) I want to store all my apps on the internal sd (usb storage built into phone).

How do i move my apps to be stored there. If I select anything withing the app management software or Titanium ect it moves it to my external SD and not the internal one. If i take the external sd out and then try to move to sd everything fails since there is no sd inserted.

So is there an app or something I have to change in the OS to use the internal SD rather than external sd?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
i just usb mount and move them using pc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
So if i do that will all the shortcuts still work? I mean it seems like it keeps everything in the android secure folder. I just want to make sure that if I move them, that all will still work including updates for them.

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

so is the android secure folder all i have to move? do i need to link the folder?

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

The strange thing is when I was on the stock rom it would always install to the internal sd when i would use the move to sd option. So when i upgraded to this rom (el29) it seems like it defaults to the external. is this a tweak that is in this custom rom? Just trying to find out how to disable or get around it. I will try the manual copy/paste but dont want to mess things up.

Nice! Glad you got working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] draconx:
ok i fixed it. i guess fixing the premissions worked :D!!.

now about my internal memory.. does anyone know why i would have only 768mb left?

well.. now my "home" button wont work at all nor will my vibrate feature when i press the buttons.. :0/.. wtf..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Yeah probably would be a good idea. I've just never needed to when CWM has always done everything I needed :) does ODIN have any serious advantages?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
I completely agree with you bro, these great devs have made it so easy for us to flash .zip files via CWM.

ODIN is a great tool. You can 'odin' a modem if there are no .zip files available at that particular moment. They're basically in a .tar format which you need Odin to flash. Also works with new updated CWMs...again, if no zip is available.

You can also flash kernels among other things.

Flash back to stock if you ever need to and many have used it to root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Well in my situation, what do you recommend ODIN"ing"? lol if thats the proper term. I'm thinking that it has to do with the new touch recovery, it was working fine for a few days. But now I can't even get options, even using power menu to go to Recovery it starts up normally, shows the background of recovery, and then just restarts my phone... should I go to stock and reflash everything (would definitely prefer not to especially since i can't back anything up) or should I just flash a new kernal? (and i can't seem to find the link to gunslinger, only hitman)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
What do you have yours set at 4096?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Well....

Successfully used ODIN to flash the .tar of the newest recovery... did not fix my problem, so I am assuming I need to go to stock... gonna try the gunslinger one first

Ufortunately, what it did give me is some ugly yellow triangle when it boots up. WTF i thought it only did to the iffy-files. Thought these were all signed and good to go??

Odin is pretty simple really. Do like someone else suggested and watch a qbking awesome video. Besides that I would say just flash a kernel with cwm first and if that don't work then flash a stock rom. Else one of us veteran Odin users could walk you through it easy enough. Good luck!

No, that would be way too much for my class 2 card. I tried 128, 256, 512, and 1024; 256 gave me the best read/write balance. I would try different settings until you find the one that works best with your setup.

I don't understand, i didn't change anything or do anything to my phone, one day it worked, then this morning --- this. (Do you happen to have the Gunslinger d/l link??? I did a search but only coming up with hitman)

Just odin'd from the link above... everything is up and running --- can't sleep so I figured now is a good time to do a data wipe and start over completely, get rid of all the unused files now that I know what rom/theme/kernal i want....

only thing that is frustrating is I never used odin before tonight... and never had any problems... now i have that stupid yellow triangle. any way to get rid of it without buying a USB jig?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Try using the SD test in AnTuTu Benchmark. I found it to be more accurate than SD Tools. I didn't see any changes with that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Do a factory reset then use the One-Click Odin method to root and put CWM on without triggering the yellow triangle. Use this method:

After you get CWM on flash whatever you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
I'll give that a shot. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Also, after you are rooted, you can install and use mobile Odin from the market. Mobile Odin doesn't add the yellow triangle or add to the flash count. Jigs only reset the flash count in earlier builds.

I did find this website

http://android.modaco.com/topic/331205-guide-how-to-get-more-free-space-for-your-apps/

I would really like to do the A2SD option. That would take care of the usb mounting issue that arises.

For those that are more experienced with tweaking the phone than I am , is that something that I can do? Any pointers? Really new to it and seems like it would resolve my problem but am not sure if its something that I should even try or will it break things.

A2SD - feature included in most of the new Custom ROMs (see comparison table). Moves *.apks to SD card similar to App2SD, but works automatically and apps even work if the SD card is mounted to the PC connecting the phone by USB (and many apps even work if the sd card is temporally removed after boot). Moves the apks to the ext2 partition of the sd card instead to the fat32 partition as App2SD does. Therefore partitioning of the SD card is needed, it can be done using Clockworkmod or with partitioning software.

I noticed the permissions on my battery saver script was not set to execute so I changed it ,and it works now . Should all the files in that ect folder be set to execute., for example the hosts file does not say x in the permissions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I believe of files that have to be executed. The host file would be a read file since its not a script. But the ones in system/etc/init.d are scripts. Their permissions should be rwx/rx. If they are not then correct and reboot. The rest of the files in system/etc should be fine.
