[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
is there a changelog for v5? I'm not sure what could be fixed in it, i've been running v4 and my battery life is great, everything works, I haven't had any issues. granted I don't have 4g here so I couldn't tell you if that works or not.

only issue i've run into is when posting a message on this forum or any others with the phone in landscape mode, the browser will then freeze until I shift to portrait mode and then I can push submit reply. But the text doesn't shoot off the screen like it used to when typing in landscape mode so that slight inconvenience is worth it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
I think you should repost that every 50 posts... (1 page for me) :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
I ran into this once before, I don't remember what I did wrong but I couldn't get my phone to read the sd, put the card in a reader, computer wouldn't read it, put it back in my phone and opened up Gallery and for some reason that kicked it back in. I think may have something to do with the sd card hack but try opening gallery and seeing if your pictures show up.

This may not work, but its worth a shot before buying a new micro sd card.

I just realized (after looking at nubernal feature list) that your reboot to recovery was broken for me because it depends on Recovery redirector feature in the nubernal kernel. I flashed a different kernel after loading this ROM.

I would strongly suggest modifying your power menu to use reboot arm11_fota instead of reboot recovery. Anyone who flashes a different kernel with this ROM will have a broken reboot to recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pre2epic4g:
i dont see the default calendar in this ROM.... was this left out on purpose?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Please read back a few pages this has been asked and answered by the dev.

Come on people learn how to read back on stuff before you ask the same questions over and over...
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Bug: Notification icon in launcher menu is the wrong icon. In ny ROM I chose to fix this issue by changing the icon in the framework-res.apk that it points to (the icon is named somethinkg like `ic*map*.png`
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
This.

Also, if everyone is properly wiping data before flashing you can always restore calendar and calculator with titanium.

sorry... i somehow missed this and therefore apologize.

Though i have Titanium I personally think its an app that only works 50% of the time. Therefore, I quit using that app 6+ months ago....

Just gotta say v5 is looking beautiful. Thanks for all your hard work. One question though. Can we use samurai kernel? Or is it optimal to keep it as is?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
I'm using samurai kernel with no issues.

[Epic 4G Android Development] elbo450:
The one I found was TN6.2-sprint-6201286.apk
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
Thanks for that.

On a side-note, what's the launcher? Is it stock and I can just install LauncherPro, b/c I can't find launcher options.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
Could mean Insane Crazy ****. The title of the thread does say EI22
[Epic 4G Android Development] elbo450:
That's the way to do it! Been using it for a while.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Yes, this ROM uses a themed stock GB launcher. You replace it with any other launcher if u wish (Launcher Pro, ADW launcher, Zeam Launcher, etc.) To switch between launchers, just hit the home key and a prompt should pop up asking u what launcher u would like to use, check the box under the options that says some thing like "use this as default program...blah, blah" and click on u the launcher u want to use, and done :) also, if u just want to get rid of the stock launcher, use a root explorer app and go to System/app and delete the "launcher.apk" but YOU MUST FIRST have another launcher alreader installed, otherwise u will have no launcher to navigate and will make things difficult for u
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
Thanks bro. :) Do you have any preference on launchers? Just curious.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blackdragon79:
Is this going be the final build?
[Epic 4G Android Development] fastmikey1969:
its only final if the developer gets a new phone and leaves!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kireol:
is this ROM better or worse than 4. The browser is crashing in 4 for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevans:
I personally prefer v4. No opinion on the browser, since I use dolphin browser hd.

Is there a changelog for v5 somewhere?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
To all those that are complaining:

you DO realize that all these very talented devs are not compensated for their hard work. Many have moved on to new phones but continue to work on the Epic out of the goodness of their hearts. Before complaining, please have some goodness in your own heart. If you spot a bug, make a bug report on the first page. If you plain don't like something. Build your own ROM.

I've said this before and I will continue to repeat myself.

Thank you Marcusant and the ACS team. Your efforts are appreciated. You improve the quality of your lives by improving our phones.
[Epic 4G Android Development] carsalbuja:

I do enjoy reading the Dev Thread Police reports. lolz!

Anyway, v5 is AWESOME on my wife's Epic! Smooth, snappy, fresh!

Almost want to steal it from her and use it in place of my Xplod Evo 4g.

Thanks guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
Yep it works just fine.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Depends on what ur looking for. Zeam Launcher is the lightest and most minimalistic of all. Not very customizeable but it is the fastest and most reliable of all.

Launcher Pro has been one of my favorites. This launchers selling point is all its cool widgets that come with it, BUT, must be unlocked by purchasing the pro version ($3.50 I believe) but overall, this launcher is nice/fast. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it hasn't had any updates since March. The developer is said to be hard at work re-coding and building a new updated version from the ground up, but as always, he has not ETA on the update. So this is my #2 choice thanks to that

GO Launcher is iffy with my standards. GO was found to log data and send it back to the developer, so most ppl stay clear from that launcher now. If u like ur privacy, I would suggest u stay clear of this launcher.

ADW launcher is my new favorite. Very customizeable and fast. You can download and apply themes to the launcher via the market. I recommend atleast giving this one a try. This is my #1 choice atm.

Again, these are just my suggestions/opinions so dnt take my explanations or descriptions of them word by word, your milage will vary with each one. Give them all a try and see which one fits u best.

Edit: Also, there are more launchers on the market, the ones I brought up seem to be the more popular lauchers tho. If your interested in reading more about launchers n stuff, Zanderman has put together a nice thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342890 with lots of different launchers and other goodies, its worth looking at as well :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
No the developer decided to put out an update that is actually a downgrade. V5 is a downgrade from v4 and wait to you see what he has planned for v6.....

Sorry just couldn't resist the sarcasm... Obviously v5 is an upgrade from v4 which just in essence alone means it's better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
Just wanted to bring up a few things I found in the theme.

This is my phone on v2 this morning. OC to 1.3 GHz.

This is just now after flashing v5 (only wiped cache and dalvik). I'm wondering why there is a drop in score with both using nubernel.

Also wanted to point out a slight difference in the battery, it's close, but not the exact match like it is in v2.

This is what I got after replacing android.policy.jar with the one from v4. I must say I like it better than what it looked like on v2. Also found out this breaks the power menu that everyone wanted. No big deal for me. I have at least three fingers.

Where it says "GPS Assistance data downloaded" was themed black with a blow glow border on v2. I thought that was really cool, the grey seems like a step backward. Also the loading circle behind it went from a nice blue back to grey/white.

Oh and the GPS isn't working. Tried a few reboots and nothing. Might decide to do a data wipe and re install the ROM like you do. The browser in v5 also checkerboards. The pictures in contacts seem really bad resolution and have this white bar underneath all of them. I don't see how something as nice as v2 (sans GPS and 4g issues) ended up being something like v5. You do great work Marcusant, but some things seem like a step backward. Maybe you just overlooked it, we are human.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilxflip:
I like the battery on v2 better. any way to put it back manually?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i was using go, really like go but it seemed kinda slow and laggy. now I use adw, it can go horizontally in the app drawer which I like, plus it has ICS theme and pretty much works perfectly except for the odd 1 icon showing up at the bottom every so often when there is supposed to be 5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
You will need a pair of vice grips, a screw driver, and some glue to put the phone back together....

J/K there are a couple of methods I would use to simply change a battery.

#1 metamorph theme, either find one you like and use metamorph or make your own and metamorph it...

#2 unzip the apk by renaming it to zip change out all the battery icons from the old apk rezip it and replace by flashing or some other method, I've used root explorer to ghetto replace files before, but I do not recomend this.... Then reboot and enjoy...

Lmfao for real though if you want to do it right you might as well read up on themeing and get at it... Pretty soon you will be re-engineering files like a mad man...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
I loaded v5 with nubs kernel, then reflashed the iap kernel, and in both cases quadrant and antutu scores dropped, however it seems that it was the 3d scores that did it. Fps were half of the 56/57fps max I saw under iap/v4.

Overall the 500 points dropped is worth the trade off for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] whyfish2001:
I tried to install the calendar, but it didn't work. :-(

The ROM is great, but without the calendar, I can't use it. Still trying to figure out if there's a way to install the stock calendar...
[Epic 4G Android Development] 521:
Do you have any launcher issues? Do you still have the menu pop up when you press the on/off button?

May just be my phone, but both issues develop when I install the Samurai kernel. Works great on V4 though. My signal suffers greatly with the nubernel kernel, I have no idea why. I think I just have a quirky phone.

Back on V4 for now.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Basically, you can push it to your phone by placing it in the system/app folder through root explorer. :3
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
I have been reading posts and figuring out how to move files from previous roms into the one I am using to change dialers and stuff - never tried doing what you just described - but am going to try it right now - one question - does 'android.policy.jar effect anything other than the lockscreen? What all does this do? I do appreciate your input - yours was the first post I have read that described that tactic - and I do read almost all of the posts - if it was discussed prevoiusly, I must have overlooked it...thanks - Going to try it right now.

By the way - I LOVE this Rom - clean - fast - sweet!
[Epic 4G Android Development] endurance1:
Not a fan of this rom so far. It has caused me a headache for the last near week. Everything i try i just find force closes and bugs galore. The bug that is making me the most angry is when i try to send a MMS using GO SMS it force closes the SMS application. thinking about just going back to syndicate version 1.2 on ec05
[Epic 4G Android Development] smader12:
Where did you get that lock screen? Does anyone have a link to v4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
From what I found it affects the lockscreen as well as the power menu.

I use GO SMS pro and have had no problems with it on this rom at all. Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik prior to installing the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Never mind. Later.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JonaDiaper:
alot of you guys are reporting problems im not having.

could be because i enabled journaling, but so far this rom (v4) is way better then any rom ive used
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
/system/framework/android.policy.jar from v4. I used root explorer to copy the android.policy.jar from v4 (saved on my sd card) into the above directory. renamed the current one with a .bak, then rebooted. Should come up with a new lockscreen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] endurance1:
yes ofcourse. I always install a rom FRESH from a clean slate. This is just one of the handful of problems with this rom not even to mention the GPS problems. With the luck ive been having with the roms lately if its either bugs or somehting annoying on them i just cant handle im pretty much better off just going back to the stock rom :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] smader12:
Thanks Man, does anyone have the link to v4 that the could post?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 521:
Everyone is discussing V5.... V4 is the old version. V4 is working flawlessly for me too. Trying to get the same out of V5.

I think Marcus took V4 down when he posted up V5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
Not really sure if it's still being hosted by the dev or not. I know starting with v3 I started downloading all of the versions because there was so much take this from that one and flash that from this. I'm not gonna go through the trouble of hosting it since the dev is throwing out new versions so quickly I'm sure there will be an AOSP lockscreen add on or even 6 lockscreen mod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ebi369:
hello

Does anyone know under apps in the actual rom which one is the xda app... It must be named something different because i cant find it under apps before i install the rom....It was on Version 4

Just to be clear, the error I got was "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES" when I tried to install the Calendar from this link.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Hopefully that'll be released as a standalone mod rather than part of a ROM so we can just flash the Lockscreen mod rather than go thru the whole ROM process.... Unless of course, the new ROM is 10 times better than this one. I'm real happy with v5.... but I was real happy with v4 too. They just keep getting better. ;)

Don't know if that will help or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] plasmata:
Meh, it would be nice but I'm not sure its worth the effort. I'd rather the devs spend their time improving the ROMs. Besides, I'm probably the only one stupid enough to get himself into this predicament. :p I guess I'll just backup as much as I can via normal methods and mark down all of the apps I have. Actually, maybe I can just do some screen shots of my apps icons and in the manage apps utility.

I got the aosp lock jar from v4. anyone know how to get the blue circle around the lock slider that turns green when dragged? I think v4 had it but android policy jar doesn't
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
are you talking about this?

I think that has to do with themeing in general. On v5 it looked like the lockscreen in my post with the 4 screenshots, but on v2 it looks like the above screenshot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nvertigo:
Yeah that's it. Any clue how to get it? I flashed the theme but it didn't have them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
I'm too much of a noob about it. All I know is the android.policy.jar from v4 looks like this when it's on v2. When it's on v5 it's just white circles. Maybe something to do with the framework or whatever.

Kernel breaks video and AOSP lock was better. Back to v4 will wait for 5.5 or 6. But as always THANK you ASC for be the Best.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nvertigo:
Tried the jar from 3.5. Now I have the samsung up drag again, haha. Confusing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
v4 was the only version that came stock with the AOSP lock. That's why you need the jar from that one to get it working in any of the other versions.

It's something in the theme of v2 that gets you the blue outline that changes green when unlocked. The sound slider also turns yellow when moved to vibrate. Those are cues straight from AOSP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myerk2008:
yeah mine is doing the same and i have the monster battery lol

idk what everyone keeps whinning and complaining about anything. if u know how to flash a rom then flash it... if the rom wasnt rdy to be put onto everyone elses phone other then testers and devs then it wouldnt have been realeased... i have not had one prob from any of the versions of the rom. if u would wipe everything clean in the first place thenu wouldnt have force closes or any probs... if u wanna blame the prob blame it on urself. and if u cant figure out what the prob is then u need to get ur phone back to stock and us it how "sprint" wants u to use the phone...

sorry just had to say thing but never have a prob with anything.

O crap this is not an easy one to explain and I don;t have time to write you a tutorial lol, research smali/baksmali... then you will have to baksmali the jars (the old one and the new one) then go through the code to find the differences, once you find them take those differences and add them to the other jar package it back up stick it on your phone and there ya go...

to any one tyring to get the old Calendar and Calculator back - it really is not hard -

Use Root explorer - move the calendar from your SD card to System/App file.

Once you do that, it will be installed (I don't think you have to reboot - I don't recall if I did right away - but I was doing other things too and rebooted at some point during all of the changes I made) and in the end was able to get both the calculator and the calendar back on my phone.

Like others have reported - moving the android.policy.jar from Version 4 to the system/framework file removes the extended power menu - I have been looking for an ei22 rom that has both aosp lock and extended power menu so that I could try to use the android.policy.jar from that one to see if it worked - so far no luck..

Let me also say that I think Marcusant has done an incredible job on this rom - I respect his right to make whatever decisions he has made to do whatever he wants to in this rom - I have no right to tell him what to do - I have been really surprized to see the demands others have made - Make this blue - put this or that feature back - do this or that - damn, it's his ROM for gods sake - I am lucky enough to be able to use it - IF I CHOOSE TO _ and if not, I can use someone else's - or I can do as was suggested by others and modify - move files to attempt to 'personalize' the rom to my liking - which is what i am doing. I would love it if Marcusant would do a few other things that I happen to like - but who am I to demand anything of him? I am grateful for his talents - and I really like this rom a lot!
