I've been using custom ROMs since I got this phone, and this is by far the fastest one I've used.

Great job so far. I'm hoping I don't encounter degrading performance like all the 2.2 roms I've tried. Most eventually resulted in continuous force closes which required reinstalling the rom. However, they all seemed to exhibit speed problems shortly after install, and I haven't seen that with this so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrooklynsFinest:
Us there any way to make the volume rocker take you all the way back to silent instead if just vibrate?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Tried that and was still slow... So, just going to ODIn back to original and go from there. Should I do the SD card?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
I really like this ROM - have not had any stability issues - - I flashed the IAP Samurai Kernel to fix video and I wanted the AOSP lock screen so I flashed a file posted back on page 178 - it is called 'framework-mod.zip' for those that don't like to move files using root explorer, this one is easy - you can flash it with CWM - and you get the extended power menu and a blue circular battery mod throw in - very nice - - I also flashed the Honeycomb Fusion Theme by Shane and it works really well with this ROM - but if you want the AOSP lock you will need to flash the theme and then flash the AOSP Lock file I mentioned after.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
I'm happy i can get a strong 4G signal... I'm able to stream the caps game on the nhl center ice app with no problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] runngwlf:
Yay! You beat me to making a flashable zip :D You know how it goes when you work in retail with Black Friday coming up. Thanks for the help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] OMGLOLetcetc:
Did anyone notice the camera takes very dark pictures? Or is it just my phone....
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheFury369:
i was trying to make a video of my daughter dancing so cute and limit to mms force closed normal did not record but what it did do is freeze up reboot and made things very laged force closed messaging tryed to wipe and restore back ups but the problem did not fix now im gonna stock and update zip see what happens
[Epic 4G Android Development] D6E:
Just flashed this and it sits at the NUBERNEL logo. Cannot even get it to boot into Android......
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Nice job.... Seems to be working perfectly. These are the mods that I wanted to get my phone the way I like it. You da man! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ignorance1:
Download spare parts from the market and make sure window animation speed is set to normal. Or set speeds from lp back to default and see if that is the problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
You may need to reflash the ACS-ICS V5 rom and after flashing the rom - flash the IAP Samaurai Kernel - it fixes video. I believe that Marcusant is working on the next version of this ROM and I am sure he will include a fix for Video - he posted that the Nubernal Kernel was already in teh rom when when finished version 5 and that is what breaks video. But the IAP Samaurai Kernal does fix it - I am running V5 with the IAP kernel and have no problems recording video at all. Good luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myerk2008:
what is rfs and what does it do?????
[Epic 4G Android Development] Flint420:
I had the same problem. Found out it did not like the bonsai recovery. I flashed the acs recovery with odin and then reflashed the rom in acs recovery. Installed the samaurai kernel 1.04. Restored apps with titanium and all is well. Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gtmethod3:
F.uckin thing sucks! I can't read that!

Have you seen the remix? If it weren't so profane it would be my ringtone... :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] blautens:
Not just you...mine won't vibrate, either. But I've seen this on a couple of different ROMs, as I recall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
RFS is the stock file system that our phone runs on. Basically, it caches data while we use our phone in order to prevent data corruptions in case unexpected shutdowns/reboots/malfunctions happen.

EXT4, is basically a file system in which data is NOT cached, therefore making apps and user data more vulnerable to corruption/Force Closes. BUT...the benefit that a lot of users like about EXT4, is that since the caching isn't taking place, it adds a *barely noticeable* boost in performance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chicagoepicuser:
This fixed it. Weird it would change without even having the Spare Parts app. Thanks d00d.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myerk2008:
okthank you very much one more question what about journaling ??
[Epic 4G Android Development] greenmuggy:
I'm not getting any screen press tones, anyone else havin this prob?

As of right now, going back to stock EC05 seems to have the highest chance of full success. I'm going through this process right now and will update to let everyone know if it solved my issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
I went back to EC05 and still no luck with that blasted GPS.

Another thing I noticed....maybe it's just my phone but the battery gauge stays on 100% even though I'm down now to 80.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxn0sflam3zxx:
Odd. When I flashed I made it a priority to check that I had GPS signal, which I did. Verified with GPS Status and Google Maps.

After about an hour in, it was non-existent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
I was on sfr1.2 with stock ec05 modem and installed the "ec05 to ei22" zip from another thread, and then installed this v2 via acs recovery after running the pre-rom install wipe.

This is running perfect and I am getting a lock on 9 out of 9 satellites with the gps test app.

Great work to all involved. Keep it up!
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
How's the battery life with GB? Also the force restarts are over right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Jeeze. I thought it was just me. GPS fix doesnt work. Seems the only thing wrong on this ROM is the GPS in fact.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

Reboots gone. GPS broke.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

I came from EH17, with a perfectly functioning GPS. Went to EC05 (modem only) then flashed EI22 modem and the ROM (AFTER Fascinate GPS fix was added) from CWM.

Now GPS is broke. Booo
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gavisann:
Try the .zip in this thread for solve the GPS issues. Seems to be working out for most people.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
Add to the list of bugs - No media sound through bluetooth headset. Calls seem fine, it just seems to be the media.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I only tested it for about 30 seconds to a minute on my way to work, but I'm experiencing the same thing regarding GPS. Nothing showed up on the status bar to indicate it was even trying to do anything.

I came from ERA Revolt ROM (EC05) but I've been running the EG22 modem for quite some time. I backed everything up (Titanium Backup, and a nandroid), flashed everything three times, installed this ROM, journal on, and booted up. Never changed modems so I'm still using EG22.

Wifi seems to work for me, and bluetooth does as well. GPS didn't seem to and I don't think 4G is either, but I'm about to reboot my phone and check the 4G again. I'm at work so I always get 2/3 'bars' of 4G at my desk.

That being said, this ROM friggin ROCKS! I love almost everything about it. The only things I would have added would be volume rocker and hotspot hack. I don't know if it's widgetlocker or the ROM, but I'm able to get the ICS lockscreen deal and it's solid with four options to pick from depending on which you go. This pleases me!

EDIT: Forgot to mention I did get a GPS lock right before I flashed the ROM too. I don't think it makes a huge difference, but I thought it was worth noting.

EDIT2: Just rebooted the phone and getting a 2/3 4G lock at my desk, per usual. Will give GPS a test tonight. I'll download that GPS fix zip people are talking about but will try to get a good lock first. I'll flash it after and see if it fixes anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
O/C to 1.3ghz, and got the best quadrant score I've ever achieved on the epic (3492). Nice :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
What are you using to overclock? I tried using Voltage Control and it says kernel not support and SetCPU won't allow it either.

Are you using Tegrak or whatever it's called?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
what is that app please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
GPS Status
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeltaTL6:
Can somebody please upload the EC05 Tar file? I want to ODIN back to EC05 to reflash. But I have tried to download the file from k0nane.info (the only link I found), but I have not had any successful downloads (with/without download helpers) from the server for some odd reason.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eyecannon:
No luck with any of the GPS fixes
[Epic 4G Android Development] jzh797s:
I must be missing something. How is everyone enabling >1000mhz on the Kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Me either. Strange because EH17 was working the best it ever has. Oh well that's what my in dash navigation is for.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Tegrak overclock. Android market
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
I love this ROM! I have a question. I apologize if I missed it, but when roaming (either with Roam Control or just naturally roaming, i am gettin NO data connection at all...I am using the EI22 modem and PRL version 60681. Should I be using a different PRL? Or is this a known issue? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sitnamzug132:
Flashed from stock EC05 to EI22 modem last night and was able to lock 9/9 satellites this morning. Just flashed ICS v2 and now, like others, no GPS. I've tried the fixes and still no luck. The GPS icon just doesn't show up in the status bar, period.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Journaling is the automatic 'saving' of data. This makes it so if you pull the battery, you will still have your data backed up. Without journaling it is faster but if there is a random power off by battery pull or whatever there is a chance of random force closes and loss of data. Ext4 actually does have this 'caching' that the last responder was talking about. EXT4 is just as safe and is very noticeably faster.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
That was fixed in v5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Curious,

Where is the v5 change log?
[Epic 4G Android Development] myerk2008:
so marcusant you think its better ot stay on the ext4 since it already has journaling on it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
V5 has jounaling. V4 doesn't.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myerk2008:
ok thank you guys anyway on improving battery life ? i noticed big time in v4 i was saving alot of battery but in v5 im noticing a faster drain
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Quick question, just redid my device to a rooted eb-13, then flashed the ec05 modem. Can I flash this ROM from there. THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] myerk2008:
yes you can but need either acs recovery or purple recovery
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Thanks, already on it with ACS recovery.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Draghar:
What the hell changed?

Can anyone give me an idea of what the hell changed from v4 to v5.

All I have noticed from searching posts is that he baked in more bugs, and less calculator and calendar.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myerk2008:
hes not going to because everybody kept asking for v5 so he throw one together for us but v5 is more stable and friendly so he is going to use v5 to surprise us with v6 or whatever he comes out with next
[Epic 4G Android Development] Draghar:
Its stuff like this.... /facepalm...
[Epic 4G Android Development] myerk2008:
Not going to lie I have no idea lol sorry
[Epic 4G Android Development] Draghar:
This ROM is the android equivalent of AOL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Then don't use it. Move on...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Draghar:
I will use whatever I want!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Seriously, what is your problem with it? V5 was a rebuild with all of the same features as before. It just fixed some stuff
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Can we say troll much?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
If you don't have something constructive to say - why do you thnk anyone wants to listen? If you don't have something to offer - why bother sharing your inane comments that none of really care to read in the first place? Your taking up space that could be used by some one who actually wants to be here.

And to be honest, I think you are way off base - this is actually an exceptional ROM - it is a work in progess - anyone flashing it before it is completed needs to do with caution - and must expect that everything may not be perfect - there is still work to be done and as such, you have to expect things to happen - I have been able to flash every version of this rom with out any difficulty and as the rom has progressed, improvements have continued to make it better. There have been little things that pop up - but you can expect that to happen with any ROM during the develpment cycle.

I am grateful for what has been done so far and can't wait to see what happens next.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Draghar:
I don't have a problem with it or you, its awesome, and I couldn't have made it. I'm using v4 on my phone and have not had a single issue.

I just think your going a bit too fast.

Waffles
[Epic 4G Android Development] carsalbuja:
Go make your own rom then though guy.

....f...ing people .... gets stuff for free and then they still complain....

Anyone who takes the time to read all the posts in this tread should be able to fix almost if not all bugs and run a smooth rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
LOL calm down, he wasn't threatening the balance of the world, I think how he phrased it may not have been taken in the most proper of ways which is understandable. I think he is like some other users curious about the changes from v4 to v5, and is worried about the pace things are moving. I guess he believes there can be an update blur along the way and what is fixed or what is added won't be included. It's one of those you can't be aloof to what you flash things. It wasn't an attempt to insult the rom I don't believe, I could however be wrong.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Draghar:
Correct!

I am only curious what is changed fixed and if its worth flashing or if I should wait for v6, This rom is great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] endurance1:
why dont you guys leave apps like calender and calculator alone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Some things I am noticing after 3 days. My battery has crashed and dropped down to 10% after a reboot. Twice. My brightness has dropped by itself to zero. Seven really times (not during low battery) and my Q Bench has dropped to 1000. I am on Samurai 1.0.5 kernel and everything works. GPS, wifi and 4G are all sick good. HBO GO does not run, FC's everytime. All other video functions are fine. Anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Your flashing a ROM that was made to the way the Dev likes it, and you complain?

You could always go find the stock calender and calculators. I would if I want on crappy 3g again right now.

Sent from my Samsung Legen-wait for it-dary! 4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] endurance1:
I'm not trying to be a prick, but if people cant take suggestions or conductive criticism they shouldn't be making them for "other" people that have money to donate.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmsomb:
Wow loving this rom, disliking all the complainers and those who demand things to be done their way just saying
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Since i've been following this thread haven't read about anyone with those issues... Have you tried to wipe,wipe,wipe and more wipe, reflash, then recalibrate your battery.

For everyone complaining about how he forgot to include some basic stuff which he even admitted to it... wouldn't you think it might be fixed in the next release of the updated ROM??? i'm tired of people complaining about the same crap. If you have a problem that has been adressed mulitple times wait till the next release comes out and see if it's fixed.

There is a work around for just about everything.... just gotta search for it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] greenmuggy:
Hey Marcusant I made sum battery icons awhile back for tiger that would be perfect for this rom :) hit up tiger if ya wanna see em he's got the full set I don't have the charging ones
[Epic 4G Android Development] JonaDiaper:
if i use the acs ics updater app that come included with v4 would it update me to v5?

havent touched that app so idk what it does lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Ok, so I reformatted my SD card, reflashed my phone to stock and worked my way to this ROM. Still seems a little sluggish to me, any suggestions at all, thanks?

FWIW, I tried to separate downloads of the ROM.

EDIT: I'm using a ECO5 modem on this, would this have any impact?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Modem only effects phone and data signal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Quickly restored with Titanium Backup, but have to agree. Otherwise, great ROM - no issues whatsoever thus far, and coming from Legendary my rotation lag issue (beyond annoying) is now gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
That's what I thought, just trying to figure out the reason the phone seems sluggish. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
From what I can see that app only has the roms from ec05 on it right now so no it wouldn't... app includes kernels, modems, themes, and roms but seems as if it hasn't been updated in a while. I'm sure they will get to it soon enough though
[Epic 4G Android Development] travieso1208:
Thank You for your hard work and efforts. I love it its stable and my battery life is good
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Glad to help
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Wiped everything x3 when I installed v5, caches x3 when I updated the kernel and was calibrating the battery when it happened.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Is anyone having issues on v5 with the alarm clock not working at all?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrdavis55:
uhm. quick question.

I turned off my phone and stuck it in my pocket when i got to work. I pull it out of my pocket two hours later and the screen is on the "downloading... do not turn off target!!!" screen.

what shall i do???
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
Is it possible that this file might work with other EI22 based ROMs? Stock or otherwise?

I'd guess not, but thought I'd ask.

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gavisann:
It is possible that you hit the download button in the power off menu. Just pull the battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
This is amazing. I'm ACS ICS Ver 5 and Samurai 1.0.5+BETA and after 11 hours the battery is only down to 65%. This is light to moderate use and 6hrs idle. Normally, it the battery would die after 7-8 hours. Thank you Marcus and ACS dev's.

Hi marcus thanks for this rom :D , I have a "newb question" If I install cwm 5 and Samurai-2.6.35_gen1.0.5+BETA will I break my phone?

keep up the good work :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
The link to Odin in the instructions is broken / says temporarily not avail.

Can I use odin3v1.61.exe that I used to put previous versions on the phone??

Also, the instructions seem to confuse me - if I backup system and data with titanium, and then restore it AFTER the flash, won't it restore my old rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] howard315:
I remember reading somewhere that the HBO GO FC's are an issue with the Samurai kernel, something to do with generating a video surface
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiftlock:
Hey i just want to say thanks for the great rom. Im on v5 now and only had 1 freeze but other than that its been great. I especially like that all of the tethering has been baked in so i dont have to use third party apps. I noticed that you had modified the camera to have no sound and was wondering if you could take it one step further. I dont really care for the gps tagging on pictures and was wondering if its possible to make it optional. It is nice to have when you need it but i dont really want it on all the time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I'm guessing he's remembering Froyo, because I don't think we had that option in Froyo just to turn it off, did we?

You can go into the camera settings and just uncheck the box that enables GPS tagging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Can anyone help in using my own custom ringtone for text alerts? Funny, I was able to do it before, but when its not there now? I did make a folder on my SD card for ringtones. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
The way I've always done it is to take the file and turn it into a .ogg file. Once you have that, you can go to /system/media/audio/notifications and plop it in there. Reboot and then you can choose that file from 'Android System' when it asks where you want to get the file from.

Hope that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Ok, awesome, thanks. BTW, what is the easiest way to convert it to a .ogg file?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] greenmuggy:
The

easiest fix is to download "Tone Picker" from the market & then you can set anything to anything without reformatting anything :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
I have a folder on my SD Card labled "Media" - everything in that folder is available to me when I choose sounds for various alerts and calls - I think if you do the same, it sholud be fine - check yuor SD card and make sure the sounds you want are in the 'media' folder.

Hope this helps

Hey all,

Been running ACS ICS v5 since release along with Samurai 1.0.4 and it's been awesome. Just today though I unplugged my phone at 80%, went to work (didn't use the phone just had it in my locker) and 8 hours later the phone had turned off cuz the battery had drained. I was able to boot up the phone and it read at 7%. Not sure what was up but I didn't have anything running in the background. I'll charge it and try again tomorrow and see if it happens. Just a heads up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:

Next dilemma, not getting yahoo email notifications in the top bar. Thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Is your locker in good service area? If it was in roaming or no service it'll drain the battery rather quickly.... Best bet if you just leave the phone in your locker without using it all day is to put it in airplane mode or turn it off all together. ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jedi2155:
Hello marcusant,

I want to thank you for your great work on this ROM. I was also wondering if you are ever going to update the default SU binary as any attempt to update it ourselves causes it to only be reverted.

http://androidsu.com/2011/10/status-update/
[Epic 4G Android Development] Solandri:
Looks like Sound Recorder was also removed. Not really used much compared to the Calendar and Calculator, but it too is also a part of default Android.
