Hey guys just to let you know i installed the new hitman kernal yesterday with cwm touch recovery using the 2.6.2 TMZ Blend ROM. i just flashed it over no wipes and it seemed to work fine, but after a while i noticed that i was having slightly laggy home screen transitions and a few other issues such as sms messages not sending properly ( dont know if thats related)

i overclocked it to 1700 using jrummys RomToolbox to see if that would fix the lag ( it didnt) and forgot to change it back. The following day it ate my battery in 5 hours, and after that it wouldnt stat on which eventually caused me to get stuck in a bootloop of sort where the phone would get to the boot animation theb to a black screen and wouldnt boot or do anything unless i pulled the battery.

I tried flashing back to Blend 2.6.1 which includes the gunslinger kernal, and it didnt work i had to do nuke wipe in order to get it back up and running into 2.6.1 then update to 2.6.2 while keeping the gunslinger kernal.

I guess this was all my fault for the excessive OC but just sharing my experience! Any ideas? Am i the only one this happened to?

Btw everything is working perfectly now Gunslinger kernal- Blend 2.6.2 stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Skully00:
I can't use recovery, it boots up fine but it will turn black then give me all the options again once i try to scroll. It won't let me do anything except reboot, was just going to go back to gunslinger buy it won't let me choose any other option but reboot.

Im having a similar problem. When I try to load recovery out just shows clockworkmod 5.8... on the bottom of the screen and then reboots
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stonewall72:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enormous:
Same here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Have you tried using Odin to install another kernel? Gunslinger has a .tar
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jesmer:
Same Here. I tried flashing through rom manager but its not working either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:
How can I revert back to 1.4.1? After updating to 1.5.0 I can literally see my battery drop went fro. 78 to 75 percent in 5 mins. Also my battery usage shows my display used 91% of my battery.. what should I do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
Turn down your brightness?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:
Auto brightness is off and brightness is the lowest it can be :/

Also I am under clockrf to 800mhz and undervolted to 950 from1050.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
I used ODIN but I got the same problem, only would see 5.0.2.7 and the team rogue logo. I used sfhub's auto root package to install rogue's kernel + cwm. After that I had to clear cache and dalvik cache to get rid of an issue I mentioned last page. So far so good, it seems.

Flashing back and fourth

I had a good day on Hitman but it is still a little buggy I am not sure but the battery was draining so I am back on gunslinger if you are having issues just flash back to another kernal. I like to make sure I am fully charged and do a wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash the new kernal, since I have done that with this and other kernals I have never had any issues. I love the Touch CWM though so I will be back on this soon. Thats how we get through all of this, the DEVs build it we test it, we give feedback, and tweaks get made!:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
Hmm don't know what to tell ya. How long ago did you flash it? Maybe it just needs time to settle in.

That's is one thought. Another thought is just give 2-3 days of normal discharged then charge. And there are several other methods through out the forums. Hope that helps some. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Great advice Rounsy. There are some very smart people here that say calibrating does nothing but I always do it anyway and my battery seems to settle faster. I use the app. I charge to full then hit calibrate. Then I turn off phone and let it charge to full. I then unplug, power on, and plug charger back in. Once it hits 100% I do the 2nd calibration. It may be a placebo effect, me wasting my time, etc but has definitely helped a few people

Wake lock after upgrade to 1.5 and even after downgrading to 1.3.

Holy Wake Lock Batman!

After flashing "Hitman" via Odin and rebooting my battery dropped 52% in ~30 minutes, also got really hot.

I just updated PRL/Profiler and Wiped Cache and Dalvic Cache.

Will report back if any difference.

Looks like I will be going back to 1.4.

EDIT 1: (First Screen Shot)

No luck, still draining the battery very fast. Going to downgrade now.

(Small point of charging is when I rebooted into recovery and performed wipes)

EDIT 2: (Second Screen Shot)

Flashed 1.3 "Desperado" again in hopes of returning battery usage to normal, but no such luck.

(Second point of charge was when I downgraded to 1.3 "Desperado", but wake lock still remains and battery is sucked dry with everything accept for cell/data turned off.)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
You should wait for a full couple of cycles before assessing battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Np. I agree with john and odub both. I usually let mine go a few power cycles and if it doesn't seem to balance out then I go and wipe battery stats either thru app or manually depending on my current setup. Good luck to ya! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
That is the million dollar question. That's why it is always best when flashing anything; rom, kernel, themes, etc., that you give it a few charge cycles to to see how your battery life is. If you are a chronic flasher like john or myself and many others then you have your set routine when battery life doesn't seem right. Mine just happens to be give it a few cycles where as john just does it right away. If you flash something and your battery goes from say 80% down to 60% after booting up then you can be assured your stats got messed up and you need to calibrate for sure. But either way works otherwise. Hope that clears it up some for ya. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enormous:
On a fresh stock install (using this) I've had this result after doing the autoroot method, and also flashing directly through Odin.

Is there any response to this issue?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Steady Hawkin:
In regards to battery calibration-

Everyone is going to have there own theory as to what the best method is. I can only say that my personal theory is just to use the method once in a while outlined here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312273 . I have also seen people compare battery life between 1.4.1 and 1.5, the kernel is the same so it should be no different.

In regards to issues with Touch recovery-

I wish I had a good explanation for you guys as to why some people don't have issues (such as myself) and why some people do. Its very hard to diagnose whats causing the issue without having source. I can however say that I have had some reports that flashing a stock kernel repacked with our recovery has helped some people who get get stuck on the "blank recovery" get back to a working state. I'm tempted to just remove 1.5.0 until issues get resolved, what do you guys think?

In the meantime once I get some answers I'll let you guys know. Looking forward to getting source for touch recovery so we can really start to get to work on modifying it to our liking, as well as being able to troubleshoot. As always, thanks for your support!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Thanks for tour input steady hawkin! I truly value and appreciate it and can't wait to see what you guys can do once you get your hands on the recovery source. :cool:

+1!!! Sready's kernel along with rogue recovery are my favorite...which is why I'm still on Gunslinger :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Gunslinger 1.4.1 is a real beast! Its the first time I have run a non stock repack kernel and felt very secure in its stability hand happy with its performance. Once a little tweaking is done to the Touch Recovery, I will flash back. Scrolling to get to "yes" is probably a safety thing but if its not necessary on my Nexus with its tiny screen, it definitely isn't necessary on the Epic Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
I say remove it till touch is more stable. Worked for me, but went back to el13 for battery.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Damn this is the first time my GS2 went a FULL DAY without having to be plugged in, great kernel man :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Edit: fixed. Had to mod script, repack, and flash.

I've been using Calk's UV script with Gunslinger. When I edit the script to set levels at -100mV for each step, my screen freezes and the phone is unresponsive. Even after reboot, same thing.

When I use SetCPU to set levels at the same -100mV, I get success with no freezes. But i don't like using SetCPU.

Any help? TIA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Instead of editing the script, try flashing the provided -100 script. (in calks OP). You might be making an error somewhere while editing.

your script should look something like this:

STEPS_1600_200="1450 1300 1175 1075 975 875 825"
STEPS_1704_200="1500 1450 1375 1300 1175 1075 975 875 825"

I had this problem. I had to go into Download mode and one-click Odin the full restore-rooted tar. From there I had to do a full factory reset cause it still wasn't running correctly. Used the Odin one-click to root my phone again. Right after that installed CWM and from there just had to flash the ROM and kernel I wanted and that's it I believe. Kind of a pain in the ass but it's possible to get back to the way you want. On the plus side with the one-click root I no longer have the yellow triangle on boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
I wonder if it's a case of Odin vs CWM flashing the kernel??? I have had no problems with the touch CWM but have only flashed from other CWM kernels?

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

I also wanted to say that I too was experiencing some home-screen scrolling lag/jitters.

Running it on Calks 2.8.1.

I installed setcpu, set up the same profiles that Calk has coded in (1200 at 100-85%; 1000 at 84-35%, and 800 at 34% and below.

Runs beautifully... eliminates all lag, even at 800mhz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] feelingnerdi:
followed the download links but the TAR file has a md5 at the end and it wont run in odin. How do you flash the recovery with stock recovery? I just rooted
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Use sfhub's auto root. Choose option C, then option E. This will flash ek02 kernel with recovery. From there, turn off ur phone, and turn it on while holding down power and volume up buttons.

This will get you into recovery. From there u can flash any .zip file that contains a rom/kernel.

I suggest you do some more research on your own as well. Check out the Wiki, it does a good job of breaking things down.

Also, for future reference, you downloaded the .md5 file. You needed to download the .tar file. .md5 is used to check if your download was not corrupted. (google md5 verification).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoheb318:
Remove .md5 from the filename. Should end with .tar

I'm having the same issue as some people having pointed out that "gunslinger" or "hitman" gives them a jittery/laggy homescreen with Calkulin's E4GT 2.8.1 ROM.

Apparently they solved their problem by installing and using SetCPU.

Calk mentioned on his ROM page that installing SetCPU or the like will automatically disable the default battery-saver script on the ROM. Whether this has anything to do with SetCPU getting rid of lag with Hitman/Gunslinger kernels I dont know..

Is there a way to use these kernels with Calk's ROM without using SetCPU and not have homescreen lag?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
Yes it does disable them, but you can use setcpu to do exactly the same thing as his scripts. This is my setup and it works beautifully

CWM Touch.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Download the hitman kernel from the OP and flash... that simple.

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

I think there is some confusion here. Hitman is the name of the KERNEL.

The Hitman KERNEL includes the CWM Touch RECOVERY.

Therefore, if you are running the hitman kernel, you have the touch recovery.

Personally, I have stayed away from hitman, since the touch recovery is still very buggy from what I have heard. The previous version (gunslinger) is the same kernel as hitman but with a cwm based rogue recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anon9mouz:
I don't wanna flash a kernel tho I just want the recovery but I keep hearing its buggy so ill stay with current 5.0.2.7 cwm. I'm kinda like stock rooted with recovery foreal lol:D

I have 2 recoveries now.

One is Rogue and the other is from Rom Manager.

Not sure why, but I cannot use Rom Manager any longer to do a nandroid backup. It looks like its running but nothing gets saved. Its the easier method to do a quick backup and name it at the same time. Rom Manager displays it's using CWM 4.0.1.5 and that it is the current version. This is a freshly rooted Stock restore the one click method found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 and root and CWM using E4GTAUTO found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Reflash kernel/recovery. I also use cwm for backups and rogue for flashing. No issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I reflashed 1.4.1 and when I boot into recovery from ROM Manager CWM is still 4.0.1.5.

Am I supposed to do the CWM separately as well? I tried flashing CWM-5.0.2.7-epic4g.zip from Rogue and CWM. Haven't tried to odin the CWM-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar yet though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Yea, if u boot into recovery from rom manager, you'll get the stock cwm. If you boot in from the power menu, you'll get the modded rogue recovery.

Wow I got it! You know when you're rushing through screens to get the phone back up and running and don't pay attention? Well I selected the Galaxy S II instead of the Epic Touch 4G in Rom Manager :eek:

Hey all,

Long time HTC user, new to the E4GT.

I had the green rogue 1.1.2 (default upon rooting?) and just put 1.5 "hitman" on. It seems to be touch screen now and the green rogue logo is gone. Is this right?

Also, is hitman just a name of the 1.5 version or is it for a particular flavor of a rom (I am stock rooted)?

Lastly, what is the safe zone for OC? and what are the preferred top 2 scaling options?

Go easy on me please, been reading away but Samsung ways of doing things are very different from HTC :)

TIA!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Touch screen is correct. Hitman (1.5) features CWM Touch Recovery.

Hitman is the name of the kernel release. On the E4GT, recovery and kernel are baked in together. The actual kernel is the same as the previous release, Gunslinger (1.4.1), but the recovery is different (CWM Touch).

From what I've read and experienced (with 1.4.1), 1.504GHz and 1.6GHz are pretty much stable. 1.7GHz is not. You'll probably need to overvolt... but trial & error will definitely be required. Personally, I ran at 1.4GHz with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] umrico:
Thanks for your response!!!

So as for the baked in kernel and recovery together, is that usually the case? I found that so odd coming over from the HTC's since kernels and recoveries were always separate.

Also, what top two governors are typically used? I bumped mine up to 1.4 and should be fine with that in the mean time. Is it safe to set it "at boot." ?

Thanks again for all your comments!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
I was confused when i came over from the EVO. That's just how it works here.

I use conservative, but I've read on demand is good too. I get great performance with conservative, and I've edited my values in SetCPU (see pics).

Don't click Set on Boot until you've ran your settings and verified stability.
