Flashed v5.5 early this morning, decided to be daring and didn't do any wipes. So far, looks great! Would be great to see 4g in the scrolling toolbar, but it's not a big deal considering I'm only in a 4g area 2 hours a night. This ROM just keeps getting better and better.

One question I would like to ask. Ive been using Go-Launcher for the longest time, two of my favorite widgets on that are the GO-Calendar, and the Go-Contacts widgets. Is there anything similar that can be used to replace those on ADW?
[Epic 4G Android Development] aigoo:
i ran a batch backup all with titanium backup pro on 5.1 before upgrading to 5.5. what do i restore to get back the 5.1 launcher, without restoring allll data. there's some things i'd rather leave out.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
Really strange, my download are difficult to view :

Anyone else have this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
In titanium backup, I think the launcher should be "ADW.Launcher 1.3.6 Standalone". Click on it and choose "Restore". Then Choose "App Only". If you want to restore the data for the launcher, choose "App + Data". Pretty sure that should get you what you want as long as the backup is from 5.1.

If I have it wrong, please, someone jump in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aigoo:
was adw launcher used in 5.1? I thoguht that was the 5.5 launcher.

also, i ended up doing a batch restore all apps/data and i didn't get any contacts/txt messages restored either. is that supposed to be backed up in titanium backup?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
The text is white and so is the background. No context means you can't read it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
Is there a solution?

I miss SRF 1.2 pulldown...
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
I would like to say "yes" but I cant recall if the text messages get restored. One thing you can do is make a nandroid backup now, then try restoring stuff with data/without data using titanium to see what works. that way if something is missing, you can at least get back to where you are right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rompnit:
Only until I rebooted... The text is black on white background.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Texts don't come back with an app restore. You need to use an app like SMS Backup and Restore to get them. I learned this the hard way once :(.

If you made a nandroid before upgrading, I would restore it, install and use that app, then upgrade again if your texts are that important.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
BAM!

That works good enough for my needs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Salent:
Can some either give me a download link for 5.1 or give me the framework-res.apk from it so i can change back to the original status bar
[Epic 4G Android Development] aigoo:
that's what im gonna do. yay for nandroid!
[Epic 4G Android Development] travieso1208:
For some Reason after update my email.apk force closes even after clearing cache and data. any ideas i still use my aol email and need it

thank you
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
I think, I found a fix with a lock screen .zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Can you give more details on his specifically for GO Launcher?

I'd LOVE to know how to do his, because I use 4G at work quite a lot and wouldn't like not having it in the notification bar.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TeflonJugo:
Just flashed the v5.5. Smooth so far. Love the battery icon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aigoo:
what launcher/widget combo is that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Very cool. Looks like then when I press the button, it brings me right to the 4G settings page. Is this what you're referring to, or is there an actual way where I can make it a real toggle?
[Epic 4G Android Development] redspeed:
Im running into the same issue with the camera app locking up if I try to record video. I tried searching but I dont know if there was a fix for this? I was on 5.0 and just flashed 5.5 but i run into the same problem unfortunately
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Backup all important things on sd card then format ur sdcard and see if that helps you out
[Epic 4G Android Development] TeflonJugo:
Go Launcher. Stock theme it comes with.

The button like widget is my flashlight app.

The widget that displays the stats is "setcpu"

The clock widget is "Fancy widget pro" with the "50NY Clock 3d" clock theme and "H7C" weather theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] redspeed:
I will give that a try
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
Restore texts

If you titanium backup right before you flash, you can get the texts back. I don't know what app actually has them in it, but if you go around and restore data for all the ones you think might you can get your texts back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
One thing I've noticed over the past few days even with 5,5.1., 5.5. Is my gmail doesn't push notifications anymore.... My yahoo does but not instantly.... But gmail i get nothing. Won't stop me from using it but idk if there is a fix for future verisons.

And yes everything is set to push.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
huh ?!?!?!? ..... aren't U already using Samurai Kernel in this ROM ( at least that's what U have listed in OP ) .... maybe I'm misunderstanding that guys question about using the latest version of samurai ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MakeMoves:
Hello. Thank you for all the great work.

I was on frozen 1.2 and was having a problem where the soft keys would intermittently stop working and start up again.

I just flashed to 5.5 and am having the same issue. Any thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pwn3d:
I do too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cuban88:
I hope someone could help me out with this.... I wiped everything, and flashed v5.5

I can send sms and mms, but I am not receiving sms or mms .. does anyone have this problem? Is there a fix?

Thanks in advance to all

Sent from my XDA App
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Went to try to delete the app and reinstall. Got to reading the app comments... Seems to be a app issue with the newest update... Nothing but negative comments about it. Thanks for your help though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 521:
<<< sticking with 5.1... (at least I "think" i'm on 5.1... no way to tell actually) *shrug*
[Epic 4G Android Development] jephro:
Been installing over the top since v3.5.. only used the "theme wipe x3" via ACS and still on eh17.

Running stronger than any ROM I've used since Midnight! What do all the OP's state??? i.e. "Don't blame someone when YOU eff up your own phone."

..only had 2 probs since v3.5~ reboot menu and data network deactivating while on 4G. Reported both via proper bug report as the dev asked and both are fixed!!

Great Work Marcusant!!! thanks for all the hard work brother! ...and all the ACS team and anyone who contributes code and puts up with whining leeches on xda.

PS. I hope that was a joke between friends, but considering you missprlelld his handle and only been a member for **9 days**... I will just say go code your own dam ROM (maybe Alpha Leech)!!:p
[Epic 4G Android Development] jct522:
Everything has been working great for me! Thanks again ACS. I've been flashing over top since v4 and haven't had any issues. As for the 4G, I don't live in a 4G area so I really don't use it. I couldnt really tell you if it works or not on my phone. Keep up the good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Fixed my email issue... Downloaded k-9 email.... Have multiple email accounts synced up and it works great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevans:
K9 is great.

Best battery icon EVER!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dquangt:
oh damn, my mind is blown right now. why did i not know you could do gestures with Launcher Pro? i've been using it forever and never knew. this solution is perfect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smartboy36:
All of a sudden wifi went out and didn't come back on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Well I use a 3rd-party SMS app, Handcent. I can back it up in Titanium and restore it with data and my texts come back. You can also backup your sms, mms and app settings using the Handcent servers if you subscribe to their service. I paid $10 for a year I think for the top-level access. Haven't looked back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I use handcent as well, and I never thought restoring data brought messages back. I thought they were stored somewhere else. The only thing that comes back when I restore with TB is the settings, but not the actual messages. Maybe they're stored in the actual 'Messaging' app?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Nah, ever since that update earlier in the year that made HandcentSMS independent from any other stock SMS app, it doesn't have anything to do with it anymore. Once you have Handcent installed, you can get rid of the default one and still have everything function normally.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksweat2292:
dont like the change of the 4g icon in the pull down toggles i dont turn off data so its useless

Sent from my legacy Epic 4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
So grab a widget to place the 4G icon wherever you want - like they've been saying above.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Id take more options on the pull down menu and give up the 4g toggle....
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Just installed 5.5

First opinion is fast

Second is missing stuff:

No voodoo. No big deal using poweramp

No acs updater. I saved it with titanium

No 4g. Made a shortcut

Almost no wallpapers. That one kinda sucks. There was one in v5 I really liked. Anyone have that wallpaper pack?

Other then that seems great. I ditched adw only because I paid for launcher pro long ago.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Mybackup root app is free and you can backup all data in a few minutes from texts to call logs to contacts to system settings, homescreen setup etc... obviously $10 a year is peanuts but its still wasted money imho.

I use mybackup to save everything as well as a nandroid before I do any rom action.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Oh that sounds great. I may have to look at at that.

Just know I didn't pay no damn $10 for just backup on servers lol. I wanted the extra features like the themes, library of greetings, ecards, privacy box and contacts, pre-made library of text/sms, MMS+ to send full-size files to anyone else with the program, online upload gallery, individually saved texts, backup server for settings, all sms and mms and all that, and group SMS.

A plethora of features available in one app that I could ever find useful is worth $10. But if you can find me a program that does all this for free, that $10 could go to our devs instead.

Wow, I really derailed from the ACS ICS issue at hand here, sorry!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyehya:
Since enabling and disabling data is easily accessible from the power menu why would you remove the easy ability to toggle 4G from the status bar (or replace the data mode from the power menu with 4G) instead of making people get a toggle button for 4G. It is important to be able to access 4G toggling from ANY screen. The scrolling status bar should be able to successfully modified to add toggle 4G.

The white background on black text on the status bar seems very backwards...Also I downloaded from the Internet a file and the progress shows under ongoing but the text above the progress bar is invisible (white text on white background). I would highly suggest making the background black and the text white...we have a SAMOLED screen might as well take advantage of it.

Thanks for updating the integrated apps and Flash Player. I noticed you didn't update Market for some reason. You are still on 3.1.3 and the latest is 3.3.11 which it auto-updates to anyway after first launch so might as well include the latest version in the system. I also saw you didn't include Voodoo control at all in the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SirLeto:
I noticed my inline mic isn't working at all in this rom. Has anyone else had this problem? I'd like someone to confirm the issue. My mic works fine on my mom's ipad. I'm running v5.1, I'm waiting a bit before upgrading the rom because I see there are a few issuses with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smader12:
I appreciate the update and theme changes, thanks man
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
The more people we can get to update, the sooner the devs can find out what problems there are and get new fixes for it. If you really want to help, you should update and see if 5.5 fixes your problem. Can't hurt if you already have problems right?

By the way, has anyone else been noticing that the signal-indicator drops suddenly and then goes back on? This hasn't seemed to interrupt my data connectivity in any way, yet, but the indicator just blips in-and-out intermittently. Stops after a while but will do it again later. It's not the tower out here either.

[Epic 4G Android Development] SirLeto:
I think it may be he radio doing that. It probably saves power. My phone's batttery life is so much longer on this new radio. I noticed it made my skype icon switch its status a lot. It doesn't do this when continuously stream data though.(like google music) Upgrading does hurt if it causes even more problems. My audio in skype is really screwed up now. I might flash to stock with ext4 support.

Flashed with ACS ICS v5.5 i can't usb mount for sdcard, kindly need some help

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] phatryan69:
Got one ? For everyone... how u get ur andriod system below 75%... I have tried everything but it stays up so high and we all kno eats battery life like no ones business... any idea's?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
When your not using your data shut it off. It helps out a lot. When I started doing this I went from 4-5 hours battery life to 15-17 hours.

exactly when i started turning off my data when i wasnt using it my extended battery lasted 3 days with continuous use

Why do we have TV out settings? Idoes that mean we can somehow use it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
After it charges to 100% with the battery pull, can you do a battery reset via powering off, recharge until blue, boot into cwm and wipe batt data, reboot and charge again til blue?

Edit: apparently my phone was hiding 16%
[Epic 4G Android Development] myerk2008:
Look up wireless chief on the market I us it and my battery is incredible
[Epic 4G Android Development] carsalbuja:
Yes but wiping the battery stats before you do the battery pull is more recommended so u have less risk of messing up your new limits , to do it after, you have to complete 1 full cycle at least to set the limits before you power your phone off.

Bottom line, I've notice that after the battery pull trick, wiping battery stats from recovery doesn't affect much. It only erases the data showing in battery status screen. I could be wrong tho.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
When you say radio, are you talking about the modem? Didn't you know that flashing this ROM doesn't change the modem you have? You have to change it yourself.

I upgraded my modem to EI22 using the delta's included in the GB release - multiple times to see if EI22 was any better, but IMO it's not. I've stayed on EC05 for the longest time, even through my multiple replacement Epics.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BenBarker:
This rom stomps! My girlfriend saw it and finally pulled the trigger and handed over the device... She's been playing with it, and tweaking it ever since. One more convert! Marcuasant , many kudos! This rom is nearly perfect. Stick the 4G toggle on and you're done! Many thanks for all your hard work and you have gained two new fans!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aloth600:
i agree with this 100%
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
my messaging app and email app constantly fc. Any ideas? I tried using titanium to remove email reboot then restore but still fc.. I'm going pull the email and message app only or of rom and flash. I've reflashed rom twice
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Try fixing permissions. Since I learned that little trick, I haven't had any problems with fc on any apps. Rom manager has it in the menu, near the bottom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshag:
Random question.. I'm still running cwm 3.1.0.1 and everything is running smooth with 5.5 (did the 3x wipe data/cache/davik before install). Just curious if there's any reason to upgrade to the new cwm? I don't do backups locally, all my contacts are saved on my gmail account and other then doing a mass install with super manager of the apps I run and setting up a couple common bookmarks I can wipe/reload whenever.

I don't use rom manager.. I prefer to install from recovery.

Saw the new samurai beta kernel looks like its tweaked for cwm 5. Any input either way?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jerseykat1:
anyone know what launcher v5.1 uses? i like the new features of 5.5 but i like the launcher of v5.1 better.

Thanks.

BTW just a testament to this rom being so awsome. i went 22 hours on a charge and still had 23% battery life left before i plugged it in. And so far not a SINGLE FC, or notice of anything funky. buttery smoooth..

ohh and is there a way to get a 4g on off toggle in the status bar again? i toggle it off and on quite often.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Looneyrat:
Yup. Its official v5.1 is alot better than this broken rom. Too many things missing. I fell back to 5.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Rom Manager also prefers to install from recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nuclear_android:
I looked at that app. It's only been out for a few days, and has on order 10 downloads. I'll wait until it has a better track record.

How long have you been using it to be able to say how the battery impact has improved?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I've had this before; boot to recovery and fix permissions. That has cleared this type of thing for me in the past.

Hope that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Thank you!! Fixing permissions solved issue with FC's
[Epic 4G Android Development] swears11:
Volume Keys

Does anyone know if there is a way to use the volume keys (Long press) to change the song playing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bradbutter:
IDK but i think the CM7 rom has that ..idk how to implement it in this one though
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Has anyone updated to Samurai 1.2.6 kernel? Any problems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MaxGadgetGuy:
Excellent ROM!

I just wanted to add my praise for the excellent work making a great-performing and battery-friendly ROM for the Epic. So far with ACS ICS 5.5 and Samurai 1.2.1 this phone has never felt faster!

For those looking for a quick patch to add back a toggle for 4g or those unable to see download status, you can replace the drop-down status bar screen using a red Samurai-themed mod. It will keep the battery mod from this ROM & add red-themed buttons for the drop-down for Wi-fi, bluetooth, 4G, etc. Also, there's a slight change to the wi-fi status icon.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348778

Credit goes to Earthbound, make of the Samurai kernel used in this ROM (5.5). Give him some love and maybe he'll make it in blue ;) He also mentions how to tweak the files in the mod...
[Epic 4G Android Development] swears11:
works good for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Senater_Cache:
Hi Marcusant, This is a really slick speedy rom!

I like it. Im runningn it with the systemUI from v 5.1 for the 4g button.

I'm also having that white-on-white text issue in the dropdown, but it happens only on certain messages.

Anyways, I was looking at the theme, and I'm thinking this is not actually using the Roboto Font from ICS, but Ubuntu Font :)

Could you double check that? also why no Fly-in anim? any reason?

Keep up the great work!

-- Edit, to the people having trouble with the White on White and the 4G button, THIS worked for me, albeit yo will loose the battery icon we have on 5.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Where is THAT page?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Sorry. I forgot to change the op as it used to have robotics but I changed it because I like the ubuntu font better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
More great work Marcus! Thank you thank you!

nice find, Senater_Cache!

I notice that out system clock is displayed white in the top right corner, on all ICS screenshots iv seen the clock time is displayed blue. Its minor I know..but lets fix :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Do all these people who complain about something easy to fix come from a different planet or something where it's okay to tell a man what to do with his property (in this case, ROM)?

Bug reporting is one thing, but showing thanks just to demand a change is not okay. There are lots of ways to theme roms the way you want by seeeeeaaaarching.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
You can only apply a swype gesture to shortcuts and such. The only way to turn on and off the 4g other than the notification toggle is going into your settings. You can't swype to a specific function in your settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] carsalbuja:
You must have gotten a bad download budd it happened to me back in . I'm running 5.5 with ZERO issues everything works perfect, fast and fuel efficient oh and I been messing with it 2 days hardcore. Came from v4 to 5.5 with only a pre theme wipe, didn't even have to wipe data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] helchez:
I just wanted to say thanks again for another great rom. This is the best one yet. The battery icon is prefect (please don't change it). Love the scrollable pull down. It was worth losing the 4g toggle for it. I just added a link to 4g settings with widgetzoid. Battery life has been great and not a single fc. Keep up the good work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
Ive been flashing just every samurai kernel they put out,,,,but for some reason I'm scared of this one, lol.

Bad Vibe. Let me know how it goes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ruhai Hu:
So updated to 5.5 after being on 5.1 and after updating someone's phone to 5.1 and losing some of my apps on my sd and having to reinstall them.

Both worked well I do like 5.5 a bit more though. Hope next update will add 4g option to the notification sliding thing. No 4g unless i take a 30 min drive so not to worried at moment.

Other wise its working I have it undervolted by 100 on all freq from 100 - 1000. Working good.

No bluetooth issues

No Gps issues

No wifi issues

4g ... can't test yet again, but it worked before on 5.1 so not worried.

I am using go launcher and it keeps showing wireless hotspot running. Which has happened on other rom's anyone know why? If in go launcher i pull up info on it it takes me to the settings info if i click go to it takes me to it... weird. That is in go launchers app drawer and the running tab.

Also the wireless hotspot does not seem to give me a connection. I can connect to it but can not get online. Wifi tether works though. Don't use either much so not worried. Just curious if I am doing something wrong.

The stock calculator that comes with both 5.1 and 5.5 looks crappy.. end up removing and putting in the touch wiz one.

All in all still great rom :D battery life is good also. Thanks for the awesomeness again!

Not a lot of usage in that 12 hr period. but only dropped a bit recently because of txt, download, location test with lookout, etc.

pics of battery and wifi hotspot thing below:
