Yep, swype is my preferred input method, unless I'm doing unix shell work that needs a lot of command syntax and IP addresses. The extra size of the battery makes it feel better for me to boot.

Back on topic..... I have started having some problems but I doubt it is rom related. After one failed el30 update, my bootup screen changed from the galaxy s to a metallic android text, and now I lose data signal periodically, and it will randomly come back eventually. Reboot or prl update doesn't help. My girlfriend's topic that I just flashed with this rom at ei22 same as mine hasn't been having this problem, so not sure what to do other than re flash to stock and mod out again. still looking forward to the el30 version when the OP has the chance to release it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nehpets:
lol. After my failed EL30 OTAs, my bootup screen changed from the metallic android text back to the stock Galaxy S image.

My data signal has always been lazy. I live on the outskirts of town and have AirRave at home (home/office). Data always was and continues to be fine when I'm closer to downtown Tucson.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MightyDrakeC:
In the How-To video on installing this ROM, the guy showed that this ROM is supposed to show the metallic Android text on boot. I haven't kept track, but about half the time I see the "S" and half the time I see the Android. I never researched it to see if it's significant.

[Epic 4G Android Development] DroidApprentice:
Just had another lockup and on reboot update bug message again as I expected. Sigh. And the techniques for stopping this behavior are too obscure for my taste...even editing the build.prop file has been risky for some. I may still try it after a nandroid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tigerknight:
My evil plan for world domination is coming together...

BWUAHAHAHAHA - converted my co-husband from a Palm Pre to the Epic. Showed him all the enhancements of this ROM and he's hooked ;] we're going to flash it as soon as he gets home, I may have created a monster.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dronak:
Yes, I know that should be possible. But IIRC there are some mods that will erase other customizations by installing them. I think these are typically theme-like mods, and has something to do with what files are edited and how. So if I went to the stock+root+deodexed EL30 ROM and started installing individual mods, I'm not sure how to get and keep all of the ones I want. Plus I don't know which EI22 mods work fine with EL30 and which ones don't. I think it's a bit easier to get a ROM that has them all included, so there isn't a risk of removing some customizations by installing others. Modding the stock ROM is a backup option for me, as is using some other custom ROM. But I'd prefer keeping this ROM, so I'm still keeping an eye on this thread and watching for an update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tigerknight:
I'm not a deep level modder, so I very much enjoy and appreciate being able to find all the features I like in one place and usually check this thread daily in hopes of the next release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowy70:
I like this rom very much also so I am hoping the el30 version will come out soon. Until it does I have found something that is very similar to this rom. I flashed the deodexed stock el30 by bbelos. Flash the hotspot hack, gps fix, logs provider fix by toadlife. Also found in the theme and apps section the crt off mod. I could not find a 1% battery mod and 1x/3g. Other then that it is pretty much like this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dronak:
Agreed. I'm fairly new to this stuff, so I generally don't do much besides flash stuff in CWM. The simpler it is, the better for me. I try not to get too deep either. And I usually check in here every few days hoping for an update.

Right, I've been thinking about doing that, too, but without the 1x/3G icon and 1% battery mod, I'd be missing two of the key features I like in this ROM. These are things that I see every single time I use my phone, find very helpful, and don't want to lose. I think this is the main reason I haven't tried to mod the deodexed stock ROM. As I recall, xBTx said a few weeks ago that there are plans for an EL30 Mostly Stock ROM, so I'm still waiting on that for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] moriarty00:
I made myself a 1% battery mod at http://uot.dakra.lt/ . Works exactly the same as from this ROM. Good stuff.

Where did you get the Logs Provider and GPS fixes? Were they from here and here even though those were for earlier releases, or somewhere else? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
I'm with you. I thought about trying throw something together but I didn't have much luck. I'd like to see everything in this ROM plus more:

-Updated the kernel to version v0.0.2. (nubecoder)

-Added the 3G/1x icon fix. (SenseiSimple)

-Added Hotspot hack. (Tortel1210/Necrosan)

-Added the Camera sound fix. (IcePlanet)

-Removed some Sprint/Samsung bloat (suggest more to remove if you want).

-Added CRT off.

-Added a 1% battery mod.

-Deodexed

-noCIQ (k0nane)

-LogsProvider Fix (Tortel1210)

-GPS Fix (hienkhieu)

-Extended Power Menu (untermensch (I also borrowed the icons for the menu from him. Hope you don't mind!))

In addition:

-Low Battery Camera/Video fix

- CRT On

If I remember correctly, some of these mods modify the same framework-res file. So if you install one over the other, then it'll break something.

Currently still running this ROM for the time being.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowy70:
Thanks for the 1% battery mod. I'll try it later. I don't post much so I do not know how to post a link to the thread but toadlife has el30 clean gb rom thread that has the CWM flashable gps fix on the first page and toadlife also has a el30 mod thread that has the CWM flashable log provider fix. Sorry I could not link to the thread
[Epic 4G Android Development] tigerknight:
Any EL30 based ROM shouldn't need the noCIQ fix anymore, since the main point of EL30 was to quietly pull that out in the first place if I recall correctly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nehpets:
I'm finally on the edge of considering alternatives. Today, my Epic started to automatically deactivate data and require a manual data activation reset on the boot menu every time my screen turns off. It's beginning to feel a lot like a dealbreaker.

I'm definitely a lightweight when it comes to modding and don't want to create a Frankenstein rom with components that break each other when you flash them. I'm thinking about Toadlife's Clean GB... but I don't like the nonstock applauncher. Everything else seems a little out of my league. I'm also thinking about flashing another kernel, just to see if I can get everything back under control until an EL30 for this rom shows up.

And, yes tigerknight, the OTA CIQ fix was the point of the EL30 release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Have you considered sleeper rom? I, like you, was afraid to take the leap, but I went back and forth between sleeper and clean...continue to love both, but. Sleeper has my heart and phone forever. The dev is a good one too. I would stay with deodexed though, the odexed version messed with auto recovery (CWM didn't work right in odexed). Jmho....ymmv...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nehpets:
Where did you see a deodexed sleeper, Naddict? I didn't read all 43 pages of the thread yet, but only see the odexed options on the OP. (I'll read it all if I go with it.) I've read about the odex/CWM problem and certainly don't want THAT!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
it is on page 29...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1465628&page=29...

Really is a great ROM...give her a go!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dronak:
First, thanks for your work in providing this ROM. I really like it, since it offers some nice features while not straying very far from stock.

Second, I don't recall seeing any information about potential EL30 versions after these two posts,

which were made about a month ago. Do you think you could let us know where you're at with an EL30 version of the Mostly Stock ROM? I'm still hoping to get my EL30 update from here, so if you have some news to pass along, it would be appreciated. Thanks for your time and effort!
[Epic 4G Android Development] tigerknight:
I was able to get in touch with the OP for this ROM and unfortunately it is shelved for now and should be considered EOL.

I think from here I will just stick with the EI22 version until CM9 gets through a few more beta revisions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MightyDrakeC:
Appreciate you passing this along for us.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Why not try Sleeper Rom EL30? Best TW rom out there!!!

Why would you flash ei22 then if your going to be using old themes?...

Sent from my Samsung Legen-wait for it-dary! 4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] xBTx:
I'm assuming that that theme hasn't been updated for EI22. There's probably framework changes that need to be taken into account. Just wait for it to be updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
I can flash this over anything or do I need to go back to stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
It's been a looooong time since I was on Froyo, so I forget if I needed to do anything special. I think you should be fine.

If you're coming from froyo you might need to update the modem? But that's not a big deal, cause you'll prob do that anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjben:
I tried flashing NubeCoder's EH17 kernel last night and it froze on me while booting. Every time. ...wondering why.

well... I had trouble grtting busybox to go in as well, but eventually suceeded. I'm going to use this now so I can keep EXT4, get that GPS fix too.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] blakehess11:
Just flashed this a little while ago and it's working beautifully. I can't believe that I've FINALLY got the KB fix, a good modem, and quick GPS that seems to work well (locks onto 6-7 satellites pretty quickly indoors) all in GB now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chstephens5219:
I want to confirm if I can apply this to my EC05 stock ROM that has been rooted and has CWM. Do I need to be on stock EI22 or can I go direct to this ROM via a CWM install of the zip file? Do I wipe/format in CWM before applying?

Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
your best bet would be to odin to EC05 modem (if you aren't already using it) then grab the EC05 - EI22 modem.zip, update the modem, then you can flash this from CWM and should be good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xBTx:
You don't need to be on stock EI22, but yes you should wipe first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Thanks for the package, OP - I'm going to wait for a TAR (or produce my own factoryfs.rfs from the OTA, worst case) to do much work, but I'm using your files to push out noCIQ. Release soon!
[Epic 4G Android Development] xBTx:
You're quite welcome. And huray for noCIQ! That's something that's a bit beyond me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chstephens5219:
Thank you very much. I'm on EC05 modem so should be a straight path to GB!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Specialksg1:
Does this mean we'll be seeing a Gingerbread KoROM in the near future????
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I'll be producing something for my own use, based on one of the two above options. Whether I release it or not remains to be seen. I daily-drive an unreleased EC05 build at the moment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Specialksg1:
Keepin' the good stuff to yourself, I see how it is ;) lol fingers crossed you give us a peak at what you can do with GB :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sparhawk6:
If I flash this, will it upgrade my modem to EI22? Or do I need to do that separately?
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Just download and flash. It should just convert you to MTD, if this one is not (I did not read the OP, so I am assuming this is a BML partition).

CleanGB EL30 is also an excellent alternative.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dronak:
Thanks for the info, tigerknight. It's too bad that such a great, simple ROM is no longer being supported/developed. This was really just what I needed -- no CIQ, reduced bloat, and some simple but nice and useful added features. I'm sad to see it go, but what can you do?

So what's everyone moving to instead? I was thinking of CleanGB or SleeperROM; the first because it seemed similarly stock-ish, and the second because it says it has a no-wipe installation. Restoring data can be a pain, so a no-wipe installation is an attractive option (I didn't wipe for MostlyStock). And I think I'd go for stability over features, if I had to choose. Things need to work right. I'm still basically a beginner with this, so any advice or help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
CleanGB is deodexed; Sleeper is odexed. So if you want to flash a theme (which I always do), you would want CleanGB. Sleeper will give you a bit more speed, and a stock look and feel. Both are fantastic and stable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
there is also a deodexed version of sleeper rom. I believe its on page 26 or around there in that thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DroidApprentice:
I don't see much of a point in moving to anything right now. As long as I can stop the OTA update nag, what's there to gain? Besides, it looks like there's going to be yet another GB official ROM in the offing sometime soonish, so the work may not be worthwhile for another reason. But thanks for discussing alternatives.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
Also, if you want Sleeper's odexed speed on CleanGB, you can re-odex the CleanGB ROM once you have it installed. The zip to do that is in the Sleeper thread, I think.

That's what I'm using -- CleanGB 1.1.2 MTD re-odexed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dronak:
Thanks for the suggestions on other ROMs to try. But:

You were right. See http://community.sprint.com/baw/com.../2010/11/08/samsung-epic-maintenance-releases -- they just released FC09 with "Enhancements/Fixes: Force close error when receiving a call [and] Sprint Connections Optimizer". I suppose once that rolls out far enough that developers here have it, we'll start seeing FC09 ROMs, and I might as well wait for that now. I hope there won't be any real trouble going from EI22 straight to FC09.

Regarding the OTA update nag, which DroidApprentice also mentioned, does anyone know the correct build.prop edit to prevent the OTA push? I did this type of edit to stop the EL30 notice, by following some instructions in another thread/post around here. I assume some changes will need to be made in order to stop FC09 pushes. When/if someone has them, could you let us know? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DroidApprentice:
Or try the fotakill.apk method. I believe it works as long as you remember to actually install the file and set the permissions correctly. It's detailed in the thread about stopping the notification.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1461201
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nehpets:
I've been on Sleeper deodexed BML and loving it since Naddict recommended it to me several pages back. It's a super daily driver for me with snappy speed, good battery life, and no performance issues whatsover.

Before flashing Sleeper, it was a tossup between that and Clean GB. Both of them are proven EL30s and seem to be final versions. Following both threads, I notice that people using both of these roms are delighted with them. There are virtually no complaints on the Sleeper thread. The GB thread has occasional bugs and glitches showing up randomly (most of which, in all fairness, may be installation-related and not rom-related.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshag:
Probably a silly question but since I don't know the answer I'm going to ask anyway. Just installed this via CWM (did a format/wipe/cache clean beforehand) and everything looks great.

Went to settings/about and got this info:

firmware ver: nubernel-2.6.35_v0.0.1

Baseband ver: S:D700.0.55.EH06

Does that mean I'm running the EH06 modem?

I've had a lot of connections issues (4G) using different modems and wanted to try the EI22 modem. Am I reading this wrong? Is there a EI22 bin that I can flash via odin?

Anyway.. appreciate any replies.

---found fix---

had to odin back to EC05 then install EI22 via CWM - reads correctly now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] goblue30093:
does anybody have a fix for the camera sound? there is no longer a way to turn off the annoying camera sounds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xBTx:
It's apparently illegal in places to not have a shutter sound on. That may have something to do with why there's no longer an option. I'll check it out when I get home.

Edit: So I found a fix sort of by accident. I was originally going to modify the Camera.apk from EI22, but I couldn't do so without causing either the camera to force close on opening, or the launcher to force close when I held the camera button to open it. So instead I replaced the Camera.apk with one from EC05 and turned shutter sounds off. Then, since the sounds didn't bother me, I put the EI22 camera back, and the sounds stayed off.

You can try it too. Hopefully it wasn't just a fluke.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RamboDroid:
I wiped every thing 3X and even formated data and system then flashed this

at boot up there was a pop up that said

"System UIDs Inconsistent"

"UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable"

so i clicked "I'll Feel Lucky" i have been get some FCs when and rewiped and formated stuff and reflashed and still the same results

Any ideas what it wants me to do...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xBTx:
Nevermind, just realized that you said you had formatted them. In that case, I'm not really sure.

I'm actually liking the "stock-ish" experience again!

I have noticed a problem, well, actually more of annoyance since flashing this ROM. Everything else works as expected, but my blue notification led flashes randomly when I have no active notifications. Sometimes it's a quick flash while other times it stays on for 5 seconds or so. Has anyone else been seeing this?

I originally updated using the Google download method, then started hunting for root!

Here's how my flash to this thread's ROM went down:

I found this thread to help me with my root.

I downloaded all necessary files, transferred them to my SD's root...

In step 6, the Odin of the ACS recovery failed. (tried multiple times)

Unplugged & tried to reboot; got a screen I've never seen before (symbols depicting a phone & computer with a severed connection).

This step... I slightly panicked! Ok, more than slightly!!! :eek:

Idea! Fired up Odin & pushed CWM 3.1.0.1 to my phone. It worked - booted up in CWM!

Without thinking (I guess because I was so happy I didn't actually brick!), I flashed this Pre-rooted ROM right over my existing EI22 stock without any wipes.

Is it possible that not my not wiping cache/dalvik/data may have caused this little annoyance?

In my defense, nowhere in the post mentioned above does it mention wiping! :D

Anyway... ideas? Should I back everything up with TB, wipe 3x, and start over with this Pre-rooted ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chstephens5219:
Yes - you need to wipe cache and data. See post #33

I'm sorry for not getting this

but I'm in completely stock EH17 deodexed with EH17 Modem and stock kernel with CWM

so basically this zip can be directly flashed via CWM or do I have to wipe first or or do I have to go back to stock EC05/EC05 modem?

What exactly do I have to do to flash this?

Sorry for my noob question

Thanks alot :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjben:
Wipe everything three times, and just flash this.

You can use Odin to go to the EC05 modem if you want to flash the zip to update it to EI22, but that's entirely separate and optional.
