RIGHT, but if you look at the changelog in the first post, you'll notice that one of the new features in 2.9 is to enable waking with the volume buttons. This is intentional. It is NOT a bug.

Therefore, if you don't want this feature, flash the zip that I suggested and that SHOULD disable waking with volume rockers.

Try uninstalling superuser and then reinstalling it from the market.

Flashing that wouldn't allow me to increase volume while my screen is off durring calls though. I just hope he changes it back to how it was in 2.8 in the next build.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dafluke24:
Not sure about others, but I noticed once I flashed the Nothin But The Honey theme, the volume rockers don't wake up the phone anymore. Don't know if there was something in the theme that overwrites the volume wake script. You could try that and see if that works for you. Also the Cyan Annilation theme disables the volume wake for me as well.

ymmv though

All caps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Now, this might break your setup so make sure you have a nandroid backup, but try flashing the attached zip.

I'm gonna test it out myself too. Makin a backup right now.

EDIT: Worked like a charm. Just in case anyone is curious, I took calk's Enable VR skip track zip. I took out the android_policy file from the zip and replaced it with one from the v2.8 rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
First post still says it has rogue, although I have read thru pages here and some said it had stock?

I havent flashed yet from 2.8.1.

Warning my next two newb questions may cause brain fart, but here goes:

My question is what would happen if you tried to have both CRT animation AND rotation animation?

Also I was wondering if Samsung Media Hub could be removed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jackka:
1. supposedly if you turn your screen off while it is in landscape mode, the screen will be inverted the next time you turn it on.

I've experienced it before and it can be very annoying to get through lockscreen if you have a pattern/pin/password lock. once you get past the inverted lockscreen and rotate again, it comes back to normal.

2. you can use titanium backup to uninstall Media Hub without any problems. or you can disable it using a terminal emulator app instead. I used TB for simplicity. the command line for disabling it in terminal emulator can be found somewhere in this forum if you don't want to install TB. i'm sure it would come up if you search "disable samsung media hub" or try "superfreeze" if that doesn't work :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
You can also delete the apk from the zip file, in the system/app directory, with winrar, 7zip, or winzip, before flashing. I personally like to do this with a number of unwanted apps this way. Then, there are no traces of it left behind. This only works if you FormatAll before flashing.

On 2.9.1 for the updated battery script but I liked having the alarm icon in the status bar. Could someone tell me how to get that back in 2.9.1?

That or how to copy the updated battery script to previous builds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
I dont think the battery script is updated in 2.9.1. it was broken in 2.9 so 2.9.1 just fixed it. Its the same as in 2.8.1.

As for the alarm clock... I havent tried this but I assume you can use rom toolbox and go under icon chooser, and set an icon for the alarm clock. That or just flashing a theme will probably work too.

If you flash the Nothin but the Honey theme, the alarm clock icon is back in the notification bar. I've tried the Cyan Annilation and Blue transfusion themes and neither of those show the alarm clock icon. Tiff's theme is immune to Calk's scripts lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] keeepinitgansta:
Got it Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jimieo:
Thanks guys. :s But I'm hoping I wouldn't have to flash any themes. I'd rather stick with the stock one. At least for now lol

I had to double check the first post. It appears he has updated the script too.

"Added

Governor options for battery profiles in battery saver script"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
To copy the updated script to the previous builds, just copy the contents of the system/etc/init.d folder that is found in the 2.9.1 zip and place it in the same folder in the previous build. This can be done with winrar or 7zip. You can delete/add any file to and from the zip archive to w/e directory you choose. If you already have a ROM installed, you can use root explorer to place those contents in the same directory on the phone: ie root/system/etc/init.d.

The second optioin is exactly what I did. I already had 2.9 installed and had everything setup with my apps. I saw no point in flashing 2.9.1 just to get the battery scripts to work and really wanted to have the rotation as opposed to the crt animations. So, I just copy/pasted said files to the init.d folder on my phone in RW mode, replacing the existing oines. Voila...just what I wanted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jimieo:
That is good to know. Thanks. Out of curiosity since I have 2.9.1, would you know how to restore the clock icon or if it would be an easy task? If not I'll most likely end up following your steps.

Good to know,Thank him.

Why do you like the fb15 modem, when fb21 is up?

That leads me to wonder two different aspects:

Whats the general consensus of which modem is best performing?,

and which modem is best on battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Get rom toolbox. Go to the icon chooser screen. Select a non-stock but stock looking icon, and reboot. I'd test it out myself but I'm on 2.8.1 still. It should theoretically work.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

FB21 all day baby!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jackka:
i haven't set up a lab and tested with exact running times, but i've noticed through normal usage with different versions that they don't make enough of a difference for me to invest significant time comparing them.

theoretically, FB21 should be the best performing and longest lasting, because why would samsung want to develop something to make their phone ****tier?(i know sometimes companies do dumb things though :) )

i been using FB21 and ran a few speed tests. it doesnt seem to be any slower or eat more battery than any of the previous versions i've had, so i'll have faith in samsung and stick with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
I have installed FB21 and so far there is a noticeable feel of increase in wifi access when running apps like market and flixter thru the wifi.

Using speedtest app I am getting 9002 kbps down & 900k up

which feels better than before on EL29 modem so thats good.

I have about 90% wifi signal in basement were I tested judging by my laptop.

Next to go out and see how data, GPS and phone calling performs.

I have not performed a profile update yet unless I run into problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cheebahawk:
Is there a way to add an icon when it doesn't show the clock icon in the list for changing icons?

Missing alarm clock

For everybody who has been trying to restore the alarm clock icon in the status bar:

You have to perform a SMALI edit in SystemUI.apk to enable it back. If anybody is interested, I will post a brief how-to. Messing around with icons or framework will not work. Calc went in deep to turn it off. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jimieo:
Glad I checked here before trying. lol Saves me some time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Yes plz!..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jimieo:
I'm very interested. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 6uPMAH:
Alrighty, then.

1. Read through this post by nivron. It has detailed step-by-step instructions on how to decompile SystemUI.apk and get to the good stuff. It talks about a different MOD, but the basics are the same, and the edits are in the same SMALI file.

2. Once decompiled, open StatusBarPolicy.smali file in any text editor (I use Notepad++) and look for the following code:

.method private final updateAlarm(Landroid/content/Intent;)V
.registers 5
.parameter "intent"

.prologue
.line 761
return-void

const-string v1, "alarmSet"

See where it says under .line 761: return-void? Delete this return-void, but leave a blank line there.

3. Save the file, recompile classes.dex, replace it in SystemUI.apk and push it back your phone.

4. Reboot and there's the alarm icon!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Nice work. Maybe you can make a flashable zip for everyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 6uPMAH:
That would be too easy! How are people gonna learn? :D

I will post a stock SystemIU.apk with alarm icon enbled in a few minutes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jimieo:
xD I was hoping someone would do that too. lol I don't know how to decompile/recompile that stuff. Although I have a feeling I'm going to feel like an idiot. Like it's just "unzipping" and "rezipping" files or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 6uPMAH:
Read this post, as described in Step 1. This is THE BEST tutorial with step-by-step instructions and links to all required add-ons on how to perform these SMALI edits. That's how I learned. :)

Like I said, I will post the edited file in a few minutes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jimieo:
Oh sleep deprivation. How it makes me miss seeing what I need to see.

To all those, sleep-deprived, and otherwise incapable of or unwilling to follow simple step-by-step instructions :D

TO ENABLE ALARM CLOCK IN THE STATUS BAR

Here's the edited SystemUI.apk from the latest Calk ROM 2.9.1. Either push it to /system/app directory using adb or place it there using Root Explorer. Make sure to fix permissions to match the other files in that directory. Then reboot the phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
How is your battery life, in general? If you are getting decent battery life, who cares about the android OS usage? That will vary by how much you use your phone. If you are using it a lot, the OS will be low. If you set it down for a long time, it will be high.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parmend:
Battery life could be better . Is it a touchwiz thing ? I get around 3hrs screen on time . I just dont think the phone should drop 4% per hour on its own. This phone is miles ahead of my 3d but my 3d didn't drain on its own . I still love the epic :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Its not isolated to tw or calk's rom. Searching for high Android os and suspend / event0 will show that this issue is common for sgs2. It seems to be isolated to 2.3.5 and the version of kernel it uses. There's debate whether or not it is a real battery drain issue.

If you don't want to see high android os, then flash gunslinger kernel. Either rogue fixed the problem or masked it, because its gone.

If you want to improve battery life while idle, then try el13 or el26 kernels, as they seem to have better battery life compared to el29 even though high android os is still there.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Coiledwire, I am 100% on the same page as you with the kernels especially during idle. However, a few days ago I tried to go from Gunslinger 1.4.1 to EL13 Rogue stock repack and also Chris's EL13 stock repack. Both booted fine ran well, etc but after a few hours, neither would wake up my phone. This was a first for me. I had to battery pull and reboot. When I did, I was down to 50% battery...after about 3 hours of non use. Any idea what I might have done to trigger that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
I feel you pain guys. I was looking for Gunslinger 1.5 because I wan to give that a try also. I was on 1.4 and 1.4.1 and the battery still sucks. I have no idea what changed because this ROM rocked before but lately the battery is big concern for me. I guess we just have to wait for Samsung to put a bigger capacity battery in their phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
When you say battery life sucks, what kind of use and how much drain are we talking about? I'm getting 20-26 hours out of a charge and I am a moderate user. I receive and check my email at least twice/hour. My Bluetooth v3.0 headset is almost always connected. Screen on time is about 2-3 hours, I play games, surf web, YouTube, etc. are you just flashing over old builds, like others pronounce is the way to go, or are you starting from scratch, after Odin flash? There are so many variables that can change your setup that just saying "battery life sucks now" is just confusing. I don't even know what your definition of "sucks" is. Is it less than 24 hours, less than 12 hours, less than 2 days? Please explain.

As you can see, my display on is about 2 hours. Still have 26% battery left after 15 1/2 hours and my Android OS is at 80%. I wouldn't call that a problem. This is 2.9 build with the 2.9.1 battery script, using the included kernel. I odined to EL29 stock rooted before flashing this build. Only user app data was restored for certain apps with titanium.

This works great for me. YMMV
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am being a nitpicking beeatch...lol. I only lose another 2 or 3% per 8 hours idle. On EL13 if I went to sleep with battery at 99, I woke up in the morning and it was 97-98% on EL13. Now its 93-95%
