I just noticed that the file status under each file is "-r-". When the system folder is mounted as writable, the status is supposed to change to "-rw", right? Nothing changes when I enable the mount option. This is getting frustrating...

I just confirmed that ES does have SU access permission.

Tried that, no go. Also installed Astro as an option, no go. Then I remembered there was that recovery script issue with EI22 & thought that might be the problem, so I flashed mkasick's keyfix kernel & now my phone freezes at the Samsung splash screen at bootup. It just keeps getting better...

Can I just re-flash the Legendary rom & then the EC05toEI22 modem to get back to where I was? Or do I have to revert to stock & start from scratch?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes try a reflash. If you are already on the EI22 modem there is no need to flash that. I am guessing you didn't make a nandroid before flashing. You should always backup before flashing ANYTHING.

As far as the other issue, do yourself a favor and get Root Explorer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
Agreed. At this point you may want to try Root Explorer. Although there's a charge for it.

I honestly never had issues by enabling Root Access and then enabling rw by mounting system on ES File Explorer.

But as we all know... Even though we have the same phone, they are not all the same.

No text messaging

I have been on RC 2.2 since day 1 and just today my text messaging has gone out. I receive 1 out of 10 texts yet get my google voice transcription when a voicemail is left. Any quick fixes? So far I am going to try a reflash as I just found out no new modem exists to flash to see if that fixes the issue.

Update: Reflash and wipe didn't work
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Sounds cool. This release will be a RC 2.2 MTD build, right? If so, should I flash that to be ready for 2.3, or wait for 2.3 to convert to MTD? And all builds will from now on be MTD with the proper installation to convert/ wipe/non wipe/ whatever from whatever you currently have on your device?

This is so exciting!

I've tried other roms but always come back here. It's a long road through ODIN if coming from something MTD-ish since I haven't converted a Legendary backup to MTD, but Legendary is by far my favorite ... and is so very worth it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drums4life:
The funny thing is I made a nandroid backup before flashing from my previous rom to 2.2, but not before doing any of this stuff. I just didn't expect trying to get a simple boot animation changed would become such a major operation that resulted in total phone failure. This is the kind of stuff that ultimately takes all the fun out of modding/rooting. This is the 1st I've experienced this much trouble since starting to do it. Well, back to the drawing board!

All of you getting the soft reboots, what kernel are you using? Are you overclocking? How much? And are you undervolting? How much? Need some useful info to diagnose. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robalboa:
On 2.2 I've had like 1 reboot ever this roms so great I don't think ill even go to mtd. I've been on 2.2 since its release and have had no issues at all. In fact I started using an app called app 2 sd (droidsail root required) and I have 114 downloaded apps on my phone and still have 168 mb available space. That droid sail somehow moves the apps to sd differently and really frees up space.

Legendary is the best rom out for the epic with everything working perfectly. Great Job guys

[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
One of the 2 known sure ways to brick your device: the image size of your boot animation is too large (the other: while using ODIN, extracting your tar while in the binary folder.....then proceding to flash ).....................hopefully your 'replacement' boot ani --specifically your logo.png file must be around 120k, last I checked-- was within scale + your device is salvageable............(these are the 2 most common, there are perhaps others).

Edit: did you use the guides here on xda? (.........look here: Android + Development > Android Themes > Boot Animation Creator)

Hope this helps.

Try updating your kernel to either the latest Samurai or Shadowkernel and see if that stops your soft boots.

can you link the latest samurai or is shadowkernal better?

Just boot in CWM, clean cache and Delvik then install?

ShadowKernel:

I use it at work for providing internet. To demonstration computers. Used to work fine, though I actually have not used it extensivly since 2.1.. I tried using it rencently on 2.2 mtd and while machines do see the hot spot they do not connect or even recive an ip. Wireless tether works but is a much larger battery drian the hotspot hack. Open garden works but has ads, very few up dates, and honetly looks kinda gay.. would prefer getting hot spot working.

Success was had!

Going to MTD was way easier than my mind had made it out to be. I reflashed legendary so I'd have a solid base then proceed using the clean gb ROM to do the conversion. I decided not to restore data so the longest part of the conversion was getting my apps back in order. may check out CM7 but I feel I'll be back to legendary like everyone else.

[Epic 4G Android Development] sluflyer06:
Just to give some feedback for the current build, ran into a couple serious bugs coming from stock EI22. Did a full wipe before flashing.

1. 4-6 times a day the phone would just sort of shut off yet the keyboard and capacative buttons would continue to light.

2. Volume in-call would randomly be unbelievably loud, as in volume turned down all the way and you could clearly heard the person from 5-6 feet away! This was a problem that started with the Gingerbread OTA update and I was hoping to fix for my girlfriend (I'm on a G.Nex myself) this was the only reason I even changed anything from stock.

I realize I'm not providing any logs or anything but the GF just wants a working phone not something I'm messing with, so constant fiddling isn't a option for me, sorry.

Ok, back in business. I cleared everything & reflashed the rom. I lost all my apps & anything past the initial rom installation, but my phone works again. Also had to re-update the kernel.

I also think I figured out what my issue was with not being able to do anything within the system folder. When I updated to the newest version of ES, it came with a bug. Either a bad upgrade install or a flaw in the script. Now that I've reflashed the rom, the previous version of ES that comes in it has shown no file/folder access problems. I don't think I'm gonna update it this time. A word to the wise, & take caution when updating ES.

Nope, completely clean install. So far we've not run into either of these problems yet running SleeperROM since friday night. I just can't believe how buggy and problematic the Epic4G is, my Galaxy nexus I've flashed 30-40 different updates/reverts/younameit roms/kernels/mods on it since November and not one ROM or Kernel has caused any issues of magnitude and on top of that it worked fine out of the box. Is everyones experience with this phone so problematic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
Through Voltage Control.

Slide to the Voltages tab, tap the number of each frequency and the voltage slider will open.

Adjust, save, set as boot (if you want to), and you are done.

As it has been said many, many times... make sure to backup before making voltages and OC changes. Also, make sure to create the safety CWM-flashable file on Voltage Control in case your phone doesn't want to boot.

Every phone handles OC and UV differently so what works for some, may not work for you and viceversa.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ashbuly:
Thanks. Made all the back-ups, now experimenting. The users in this thread are definitely the most helpful!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Not everyones experience is problematic. I myself have never had a problem that wasn't my own fault... these epics are very finiky though... lots of peoples phones react completely differently to all things. Things that are stable and work great on my epic your epic may completely hate...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sew3521:
Each phone is unique for the undervolting so try out different settings. I posted mine because it is nice to have a starting point. I am working with some updated settings myself and will post them for all to see soonish.

I still fully stand behind the 100/1000 SIO SmartassV2 settings. The only exception is if your phone does not like 100Mhz... than you have to use 200Mhz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ashbuly:
UV settings

Played around with mine and these seem to be the settings that are stable.

CPU Governor - Smartass V2

I/O Scheduler - SIO

Min/Max 100/1100

1100 -25

1000 -75

900 -100

800 -100

600/400/200 -125

100 -150

Only been running like this for a few hours, but wakes easily, no problems with any apps no matter how big they are. The 1100 MHZ helps out a bit with the larger apps too and with dropping it down to 1275 mv, it pulls no more energy than stock 1000 MHZ,

[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Alright... so i've decided to make a promise to everyone this week... I WILL HAVE SOMETHING UP, that installs Legendary on ANY partition type\map. I WONT GUARANTEE that i will have something up that converts you over to MTD. So if you're on EXT4. That's where you stay. Same for RFS, and YAFFS2.

The conversion will eventually make its way into the script (I think\hope)... But no guarantees there either.

What i can tell you is that at worst, i will have a seperate conversion script (REALLY SMALL) that can convert you to MTD before running the ROM installation script (which should be non-wiping (Thanks Sensei).

Any questions, please just reply here... I can't handle anymore private messages at the moment... Been really busy on the personal side. And again, i have no dev phone. So i'll be stuck having to quadruple check this installer before i send out to make sure it's working. Anyone wants to test, please let me know. will probably only be one test (If at all) as i'm fairly confident in what code is being used already.

Goodnight all,

So idk if anyone has tried this out yet but with the latest Samurai Kernel there is an app installed called Control Freak.
