I think I probably reboot every 4-6 days, somewhere around there. Not really something I pay attention to, but that would sound about right. The stability of this ROM, IMO, is second to none.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Man you're still having this problem? Maybe its an adw problem?

Got CM9?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Yeah never got it fixed. The rom runs great. I setup some widgets on the homescreens while it was on the launcher that the rom comes with and rebooted it still showed error loading widget on them after it rebooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toolegit:
Weird.... The only time I ever see Error loading widget is after reflashing and restoring from MyBackup Pro.

Using LauncherPro, if that makes a difference.

Where did everyone go?

I haven't been to this forum in a few weeks, but in the past it's always been on the first page of the forum list. Not much going on in here now it seems. Is there a new "best" ROM? Legendary has been my favorite for quite a while now, but if there's something the community thinks is worth looking into, let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Still best TW rom around hands down. Hoff has been working on his el30 version, it's a separate thread... "long way to go" or something like that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I wouldn't say 'best' but both CM7 and CM9 are working very well. A lot of people are using CM9 as a daily. I just loaded it up tonight to check it out and I'm quite impressed with how well it's running so far.

I think a lot of the TW ROMs just kind of got left in the dust.

I was running CM7 for a while, then jumped back to ERA EI22 for a few days, now onto CM9 for a test run. I would say 90% of the posts, at least, revolve around CM9, another 7-8% around CM7, and the rest around TW ROMs.

Hey there guys, I just discovered that the Swype here in Legendary is TIMEBOMBED! The other day, I went to enter some words into a textbox and it told me that it was too old and needed to upgrade. I proceeded to download a slightly newer version which refused to install, so I took the risk of uninstalling the old one, which uninstalled sucessfully. After this, I installed the one I downloaded, and it actually installed this time. I rebooted and discovered that I would get the proverbial "fc" message every ten seconds or so with the new one installed.

Thankfully, the Samsung Epic provides a delicious hardware keyboard which makes the Swype glitch not nearly as big of a problem as it could be, but I still do enter text in portrait sometimes and would be interested to hear if anyone else has had any encounters or could provide some tips for me.

Thanks.

Good call. Just out of curiosity, nobody had done any work with USB host on the Epic before Earthbound? I mean, does the hardware have it in it?

Built-in speaker not working

I've been running Legendary 2.1 update since it came out. Bought the phone in May, no problems since then until today. I was on a call, using the speaker, and it started chopping in and out. Phone was just sitting on a table. Then nothing. I don't get ringing, music, nothing. Through the earpiece it's fine. Through a plugged-in speaker, it's fine. Just not working through the built-in speaker.

I tried several things:

1. Pulled the battery a couple of times.

2. Used canned air to blow out the speaker jack.

3. Plugged/unplugged speakers into the speaker jack.

4. Downloaded Sound Manager and played with settings.

5. Played with Voodoo Control settings.

6. Re-flashed 2.1 and 2.1 Legendary update.

Any other ideas?

Follow-up: If I can't get the speaker working, I'll need to take it to a repair center. Do I really have to go back to stock to do that? If so, what's the best way to do that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Odin the new EL30 tar and modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Squiggy45:
Is that to fix the speaker problem or get back to stock? And how do I Odin the EL30 tar and modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robalboa:
Your speaker probably went out. If you play a song then blow on the speaker itself and can get a noise out of it, then the speaker needs replaced. I had one go bad on me too. Sprint will fix it at a repair store for free!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Squiggy45:
Thanks. It turns out it was the speaker. I could take off the back, blow into the speaker and hear whatever music was playing. Stop blowing and the music disappeared. I went back to stock, took it to a repair center and once they replaced the speaker I was back in business. Thanks.

I too had the speaker / no sound issue you guys were talking about.

I tried restarts and cache clears, resetting voodoo sound etc.

Nothing helped.

Then I realized that I NEVER plug anything in the headphone jack, and that day, I used headphones for the first time since EL22.

After plugging-in and removing the headphones again, it fixed the issue completely!!

Must be something about the sensor in there, and my theory was that when my sound was cut-out, it was being sen to the headphone jack as if headphones were plugged-in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
So it is working now?

RADIO Reply

Hey there all, I've got three new questions on the Epic and LEGENDARY ROM for the community here if anyone wants to have a look at 'em:

1. Is there going to be an update to this ROM anytime soon?

2. Has anyone heard anything about USB host on this machine?

3. Has any progress been made to get the FM radio working?

Thanks.

- 2B
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
1. Yes...see Hoffman's other thread [ROM] a long way to go.

2. Read about it, maybe on CM9...can't remember.

3. No that was abandoned. Something after EE03 leak killed it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
1. Gotcha, I'll have to check it out.

2. So that is software depentent then?

3. So the hardware is capable, but a software bug has basically destroyed any hope of bringing it back pretty much?

- 2B
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
1. He is working on getting the MTD part working for backup and restore install for that new ROM.

2. Yes. It can only be done on ICS (so far) and the kernel would have to support it. Talk to Bbelos about it if shadowkernel has or will have support for it.

3. It almost worked on EE03 but with the next leak something changed and it wouldn't work at all. Plus with all the streaming stations there was not enough interest to further pursue it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
ONE TWO THREE Reply

1. I see, I was just looking to see if I should wait it out or upgrade to the december release that he's got right now.

2. That's true for all Android devices? No [android] phone (unless it ran IceCreamSandwich) has had USB host before?

3. I see. Too bad, because my connection is too slow for streaming and I remember using the radio feature before on the Diamond quite a lot.

- 2B
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
1. Up to you. It is BML right now and working.

2. No, that is just for original Galaxy S phones. The GS2 has USB Host (Epic Touch) as well as other phones as Google tells me.

3. I think the FM radio works on the Touch as well. Features like this and TV Out are crippled by Samsung not giving any source to work with.

TELEVISION OUT Reply

1. I might just try it sometime here in the near future then if I get the chance. In your opinion, is it worth it?

2. Okay. I will look forward to that then.

3. Yeah, that really sucks. I don't care about TV out as much since I haven't ever needed to display my phone on the telly and the TV out they do have is usually just standard def anyway, so no huge loss.

Is it OK to apply the "EL20 Software Update" with this ROM? I put this ROM on my wife's Epic and it's been fantastic, but it keeps prompting her to do that update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jmoney2k5:
The update won't work because your on a custom rom. But you can use an el30 rom. Hoff has one out for bml right now, its called long way to go rom, I haven't tried it yet. I'm waiting for the mtd version to drop.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ralf_97:
Yes but nothing will happen. U will automatically. Bott into download mode and will get stuck in mid process. So all u gotta do is take the battery out and turn ur phone on.

Thanks, Jmoney.

I don't really keep up with the ROMs for her phone, but switched to Legendary's last month after using Bonsai for the longest time. I really like this ROM so far...great battery + performance...but that constant update nagging is annoying her :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Then you need to look for the "How to stop the EL30 update notification" threads. Not sure if they were in General or Q&A but it should pop right up on Google. It requires a build.prop edit and to accept it and reboot as mentioned a few posts back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sew3521:
I ended up flashing the radio using ODIN. All works fine :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
To fix mine, I just did like they prescribed in the other thread and hit the "update" button, which would take you out to the bootloader on an "update" screen. The update will fail and eventually bring you right back to the recovery menu. One click of the reboot button brought me right back in and I haven't had any troubles with it since.

I would be super happy if the developer would simply remove nag for update and cook in a newer version of swype as a "maintenance build" Would be much appreciated. I will be flashing over to new rom once is stable
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Update nag is pushed by Sprint since they think you are on an EI22 CIQ filled ROM. Update to EL30 or do the suggested build.prop edits.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
I don't know if I filled ya'all in on this yet, but I did get the nagscreen again, so I checked the "build.prop.instructions" and finally got it fixed.

Question though, if it's pushed by Sprint and you don't use Sprint, how do they get you the nagscreen? How does that even work?

That would be great.

If you're having the Swype bug, I actually found a fix for that and posted it probably back around Febuary 19th or 20th.

Quick question here, has anyone tried the Android program "roam control" on their Legendary machine? I've tried it but cannot get it to work no matter what I do.

- 2 Bunny
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Since you're on boost, it may be slightly different. I know I've used RC before when on Legendary, and as long as I wasn't in the Chicago area, it worked quite well. Chicago is one of the areas where Sprint has no roaming contacts with Verizon, so if you force roaming, nothing really happens except you have no signal at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
PREFERRED ROAMING Reply

Sorry, I'm actually working on updating my profile since I've undergone two service changes and a device change since that was updated last. So you're saying that your roam control worked for you? Does your radio ROM version... I mean modem (why would they change the name like that anyway?) version have any bearing on this?

- 2 Bunny
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I haven't used it in a while, but yes, it has worked for me and quite well too. I know I had changed modems when using it two different times and it didn't seem to have any effect on it whatsoever.

The only thing that might be causing issue is what PRL you have.

I tried once to force the 3G roam PRL (11115 I think it is) to my phone but wasn't able to quite get it figured out. If I was able to actually roam in Chicago, I probably would've tried a lot harder considering a place I frequent near the airport gets crap for service with Sprint, but Verizon's service is pretty good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
Interesting. I have updated to the EL30 modem and the PRL that's all zeroes at the beginning then a 1 (looks something like "000001"). I haven't been able to force roaming with either PRL after the modem update, and what I'd really like is some kind of hybrid PRL that could prefer Sprint like the stock one (I'm guessing you can't control how "clingy" it is to Sprint from the PRL), but let you roam easily with the click of a button (like on roam control) or even in a schedule.

Let me know if you figure anything out.

- 2B
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I've heard of that PRL before, but I don't really know anything about it. I'm pretty sure it's a 'hacked' PRL, right? As in, not one that is normally provided by Sprint? I haven't used it before, but that may be causing some sort of issue as well. I'm running CM7 now, and not having much luck getting data when forced roaming. It usually came up as 1x, but I'm not even getting that now. I know the dev of Roam Control had some issues, and you kind of have to jump through some hoops since that happened.

Okay, scratch that, 1x literally just came up, lol. Let's see how good I am at posting these screens from my comp:
[Epic 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
Hey all, I just updated to version 2.2 of this ROM and I'm quite impressed for the most part. The upgrade went relatively smoothly, except it screwed up Swype, but no big deal, Titanium backup was able to uninstall the fragmented corrupted program for me. After that, I reinstalled Swype and realized how much I missed the dark/blue "Sprint" theme - does anyone know of a way to get that back?

Actually, this custom PRL clears up the issue of not being able to use EvDo on roaming. Other people have reported success when using these together as they make a great combination. What versions of roam control have you got to work? I've had zero success on both 1.6 and version 2. On the other forum, this one guy said that all the versions after 1.4 are broken, so do you have a download link for a working copy or 1.4?

Thanks.

- 2B
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I'm currently using version 2.2 of Roam Control. I had bought it from the market originally, then when they took it down, it wasn't working properly due to not being able to validate the license. The dev setup his own site (www.roamctrl.com) and I was able to get it this way. I don't remember exactly how it worked, but I didn't have to buy it twice, but the 2.2 version does install a few other ghost apps that check the license and validate everything.

The dev is working on a resolution to getting it back in the market, but I'm not sure the status of how things are going. There is a thread in the Apps section that this dev has commented on a few things at different points in time. It might be beneficial to check it out.
