I just checked and these are on my device also. I'd also like to know a little more about these files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
DUDE! That worked! THANKS!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
This post is helpful.

These files are just libraries. Since I'm no expert on the subject, I'll assume something within the file is heavily embedded into EI22 or rather.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
While I really like the speed of this rom, and it is completely stable for me. I have now had problems with every single radio on the phone. Blue tooth randomly will not turn on, some times multiple reboots will fix. My wifi has worked for the most part, but if I'm away from an AP and come back to it it will not auto connect, or if it does it takes 10+ min. But if I tap on wifi settings in the wireless and network settings it will auto connect from there. After being on a wifi network for a extend amount of time, after leaving that wifi network 3G data will NOT come back on. I've tried to toggle, it doesn't help. Some times 3G will come back on its own, other times I have to reboot. Also have tried toggling airplane mode 3G not coming back from being on a wifi network is a real killer for me.

Both on the EC05 and the EI22 modem. Never had issues like this on a stock build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
I'm not sure. where can I check and If I dont' have it, where can I get it? Does it allow for playback of .mkv files? Pre-custom ROM installation, I was able to view them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ansong:
I've read the initial Carrier IQ post. It makes a strong case for getting something this intrusive off the ROM. I'm curious as to how the CIQ is considered removed since these files are still present and necessary.

Only one of them is a library, the other is an executable and they do seem pretty important. After removing those files the system hangs at the Samsung spash, it never gets to the Galaxy S animation.

I do want to say I'm not *****ing! I appreciate the skill and effort that goes into developing these ROMs and I especially appreciate SenseiSimple's responsiveness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
Update: I wiped everything & started fresh last night. As expected with a full wipe, the issues I had with the Home button, lockscreen (2 attempts to unlock), & missing options in my Power Menu have been resolved. :)

I experienced this issue this morning. I left home (wifi) and drove most of the way to work without even looking at the phone. I happened to notice that I had no 3G icon as I was silencing my ringer for work. I didn't have time to tinker with it, so I just rebooted the phone and it came back. I'll experiment with it later at home.

I'm pretty sure I saw someone else mention this, so I'm curious to see if I have issues automatically hooking back up to my home wifi tonight, also.

Thanks Sensei - I'll try to remember to reboot a couple times before the next no-wipe update. :D

In response to how long it takes 3G to come back: 25 minutes elapsed from the time I left my home wifi until I noticed I had no 3G icon. :(

EDIT:

One other issue: My Swype performed an update and now it constantly Force Closes. Has anyone else seen this? I'm signed up for the beta program, so should I just delete the currently installed Swype and install the beta? Suggestions appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
This happened to me. I had to completely reinstall because I couldn't find a swype apk that installed right.

I would make a back up of swype with titanium next time you are it running right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
I definitely will next time! For now I'll be downloading & installing Swype beta or flashing the version I have on my SD card from the Nexus S 4G. It's version 3.25._____. Looks like I'm lucky to have that version - can't find the thread I got it from anymore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
Is anyone else having problems viewing .mkv videos now that they flashed this rom? I was able to view them before but now cannot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
Try and download the rockplayer lite from the market. That should play just about anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdreco:
I cant download this ROM..

I tried using Dolphin HD. and it just close out Dolphine HD..

Samething happens when I try Dolphin Mini..

I tried using Opera Mini and it errors out..

I tried using my laptop and the little thing shows up.. saying click here to download and when I do nothing happens..

please help.. I really want this ROM..
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
Thanks, I'll try that.

I'm still not sure why my flashed ROM had a video player but not the included codecs to view .mkv files!

update Rockplayer didn't work. It tries to open the file and then reverts back to the directory view on the screen. :(

update 2 Nevermind, it is playing the files now. I had to mess around in the settings.

My system video player, however, still will not play the files. Is there a codec I can install anywhere????
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
Well, it tentatively looks like I may have fixed my Swype without a complete reinstallation. We'll see how it holds up through a couple of reboots and normal use.

First, I tried clearing cache/data for the Swype program & fixing permissions in ROM Manager. Still got the FC's.

I uninstalled the program, but kept the installer. Rebooted, then ran the installer. I was prompted to log in using my Swype beta credentials, then it proceeded to download and install what must be the latest beta release.

So far, so good! :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzl:
I'd also like to hear about the mkv files not being able to play. Last time I ran this rom, my FLAC files wouldn't play with the stock music player. Never had this problem with SRF.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
Yeah I was upset about not supporting FLAC files. The default player is better for this reason alone. I think the music app he bundled is MIUI or something.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdreco:
I still cant download this ROM.. anyone else having this issue??

or can help me figure out why??
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
Let me know if I can help out with anything SenseiSimple.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
Well, I for one am thankful for the mod. My problems have been basically fixed by downloading a different video player MX Video I think it's called.

I was never able to reinstall my old music player that came with the Epic. The replacement will have to do. I'll be sure to post as soon as I screw something else up! Lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I'm not sure what the problem could be... i haven't heard from anyone else having any download issues. :confused:

i personally like that MIUI player has an additional feature of allowing to use the player to select system sounds... it's kind of a toss up, i, like you like the stock video player, and stock apps...

Let's have a vote, i'm impartial to either... MIUI Music Player or Stock Music Player?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I just ran the carrierIQ test on this ROM and I got a 170 wtf?
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
I say stock player, even though you still have the stock sound player, which is quite useful in a pinch while playing sounds downloaded through the browser.

I'm looking forward to the theming work. (I'm moreso looking forward to themes on the stock dialer playing more nicely with lower LCD density.)

I seem to be having Market issues, over half of the apps in the market are giving me the message "This app is incompatible with your device." It's littered across many apps, including some of the very obvious compatible ones --Facebook, for example.

The news of the lockscreen mod is very unfortunate, Will this directly affect the fix for the lockscreen staying off when you disable it?

Good luck with the next patch! You'll probably be rolling it out before I know it. With all of the fixes you have plan, I guess incremental updates will be out of the question for a while. :p

This next update will probably be a good time to wipe and do a fresh install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
Have you planned out any color schemes for your theming yet?

Perhaps a darkened (not necessarily black) notification pull-down could be an option? :rolleyes: :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
This made me lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
::takes bow::

I'm glad I could entertain! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Out of curiosity, have you run it on any other ROMs, if so what are their scores? I think it's impossible to gut out ALL of the CarrierIQ parts without seriously breaking something - HOWEVER - note, that all of the remnants are inactive and serve no purpose, like wisdom teeth or an appendix.

I'll leave in the stock sound player since i have no preference, and it's been requested.

I haven't had any trouble downloading apps, THOUGH, when doing a lot of flashing, the market has occasionally got stuck not seeing my phone (on market.android.com), solution was to sign out of GTalk, clear market data and exit/force close market, sign into GTalk, open market... it was frustrating but eventually it recognized my phone again... it's happened when going between different roms in the past, but it eventually does fix itself.. i think you're having a similar trouble.

As for the lockscreen, believe me, it was a tough decision especially after having it all ready to go, it just creates too much potential for hidden bugs...

I think SleeperROM is somewhere between CleanGB and RandomROM in terms of the mod inclusion philosophy.. i do like the pretty details, but i much prefer stability at the cost of customizability, this ROM the idea for this rom is that you can install it on someone else's phone and not have to worry about something breaking - Or even for flashing on customers Epics for those who make a business out of phone modding.

I'm looking into the lockscreen-not-reenabling issue, i just tried it and it works normally... it should solve itself with the update, hopefully.

YES! you've got it, personally i'd try to get away with keeping my data and if you have problems then wipe. but it's a big update over the past few.

I have 3 planned out, all relatively subtle but definitely make a difference, in particular for night driving as has been mentioned. I'm taking requests, though i should say, rather than THEMES, they will be more like Color Packs.

1.0.09 COMING TONIGHT!​
[Epic 4G Android Development] castkel:
Does anyone know how to get the old Swype back (personal preference)? The new beta is causing me FC misery as soon as i flashed it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Tried pushing it to the original folder DATA/APP etc etc still getting FC
[Epic 4G Android Development] ColinPM:
Now Sensei - don't you go rushing to make a self-imposed deadline! :-)

The best thing about your ROM is that it is reliable and close to stock, a professional grade ROM. I totally agree with your decision to make the features just work rather than add customization capabilities.

I was wondering: in the cases where you do remove stock apps, would it be possible for you to offer them as separate flashable add-ons that we could choose to install?

I know this could be extra work for you, and that you do try to test out the apps as a complete package, but it seems like some people want mostly stock apps (i.e. like me) and some people want extras or alternatives. This might solve some of the customization dilemma while keeping those other users on the best ROM available.

Just asking, no pressure ;-)

BTW, just loving that AllShare fix you put in 1.0.0.7a.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
FWIW I wouldn't mind this, like for the gallery app that was removed and cannot be installed from the market. I do have a back up of it I can restore, but for others that might have liked it.

quick pic seems slower than gallery. Specifically if you zoom in on the picture, it is much less fluid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
I had a problem with Swype force closing after installing .08, also. It wanted to update shortly after flashing, I let it, then got constant FCs until I selected a different keyboard.

My fix: fixed permissions in ROM Manager, uninstalled the Swype program (not the installer), rebooted. Then, I ran the installer using my existing Swype Beta credentials & it worked perfectly. After that, it did a few updates, but they didn't cause any FCs.

Just relaying my experience. YMMV.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ColinPM:
Can you share that saved copy of the Gallery? I'd love a copy, pretty please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] VAnative21:
Is there a way we can enable / change the boot animation for this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
Here is a zip file containing the default gallery app and music player. You need to use titanium backup and you need to unzip them into the titanium back up directory first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
After testing this ROM 1.0.0.8 version, I like it so far. However, below is my compiled list of what worked, what didnt't and what worked after a reboot. Lol

- Stock Video Player no longer played .mkv or camera files.

- Could not retrieve and install the stock music player from Titanium backup. Ti would just keep saying it was retrieving the app but to no avail.

- Same problem with stock gallery, could not reinstall from an old Ti backup. Maybe retrieving stock system apps will not be installed?

- Had to reboot after turning on the GPS for the first time. Worked after the reboot but was giving me problems beforehand. The stock navigation would not work until after the reboot, then it worked great.

- missing 4G button on the drop down menu.

- battery does not last much longer than with stock GB and CIQ on the stock device. I was hoping removal of most of the CIQ would help my battery life.

- battery reads low (10%-15%) after a reboot. I have to shut down the phone, remove the battery, reinstall it and then turn the phone back on. Then it correctly reads remaining charge (usually around 30%)

- while using the dolphin browser (intense usage such as video or flash site) and having my phone charging, when the browser freezes up, the phone locks up completely and I have to remove the battery to get the phone to reset.

That's about all I can think of right now. I'll probably remember more tomorrow and edit this post.

Thanks again for this ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
Hello! Thought I would throw in some tidbits that could help.

-The Video player issue is dealing with codecs which the author hopes to address with the next patch or so.

-The stock apps, well I never tried restoring with Titanium, but if you obtain the APKs for these files, they install just fine as user apps. Once you install them, TI will restore the data for you.

-The 4G button missing is also still in development, there's a patch in the first post to flash the stock QuickPanel if you need this toggle. (You'll lose the mod for the scrolling customizable bar though..)

- Battery life regarding CIQ, I believe this can also rely heavily on how you use your phone. I do see what you're talking about,though my battery gets me through the day. I noticed a slight increase over stock EI22, but its not much to write home about yet. If you know what you're doing, try using Voltage control, it can help your battery life out more as well.

-The battery being low after a reboot, that's happened to me on many different phones, usually after the phone force reboots from a system crash of sorts. Your battery could also need to be calibrated.

-Crashing with the internet browser (any browser), I've noticed it across different EI22 roms, and not just this one. It happens regardless of browser as well.

I'm sure you'll get a response from Sensei as well, but just thought I'd try to help. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
Thanks for the response. Something else I noticed this morning is that the MX Video player could not handle playing an 800MB .mkv movie file. I was trying to watch THOR while at the gym and it crashed after a choppy 1 minute. This makes me think it might be a CPU issue rather than a codec. Also, the 1 minute that played looked bad, not the 720p quality I used to have with the stock video player.

Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
Thank you very much for these two stock programs! For some reason, my backed-up copies would not restore with Titanium Backup. However, these two restored immediately! I'm glad to have these two stock programs back.

Do you have a stock "Video Player" availible? Maybe this will fix the codec issue the "stock" video player that came with this Sleeper ROM is having? I tried to restore my backed-up video player but it would not install over the exisiting player.

update I tried using MVideo player instead, still no playback due to not having the right codecs. I checked over on Cyanogen Mod for the Galaxy S and they have the same problems. Perhaps a common issue in custom ROMS? Perhaps something was accidentally left out?

Physics stated, "BSPlayer and Dice Player play the movie sample very well with hw decoding."

I have not tried either but will shortly and will report back.

update Downloaded BSPlayer and it seems to be playing the same THOR movie without a problem. I will check back in tomorrow after I use it at the gym and see how it runs on extended play with headphones.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
In your search for a compatible video player, Moboplayer does a good job with sw decoding. This was my pick for long plane rides over the summer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
First try and play this mkv file and let me know if it works in the player you currently have.

http://divxtrailers.divx.com/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobraTrailer-DivXPlusHD.mkv
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
It played for about 11 seconds and then I think it got hung up on downloading the clip. Seemed fine, but played through the BS Player I downloaded previously, NOT the stock video player.

update I downloaded the file to my phone and it played flawlessly using the BS Player!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
I just noticed something else. If I plug in my phone once using the USB cable it is fine. Then if I unplug it and go about my business, then come back to my computer and plug in the USB cable again, I do not get the USB notification, nor the red led light on the phone. However, the battery icon on the notification bar has the "charging" bolt and looks like it is charging.

No big deal except that I have to reboot my phone to get it to read via USB on my computer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VAnative21:
Is anybody gonna answer whether U can enable / change the boot animation for this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Two concerns i have experienced is the USB notification/functionality and battery level on reboot, though mine drops by about 15% until i plug in the charger and reboot (then i jumps back up) - this was a tip from earlier in this thread. I'm investigating why that has recently started happening on reboot.

Both of these issues seem to have sprung up on upgrading to Samurai 2.0.1 kernel, but earthbound hasn't acknowledged reproducibility, so i need info on RandomRom also which is running samurai.

the browser issue has been reported on several roms by several, toadlife was investigating.

As far as battery life, android is a moody creature. some days on SleeperROM, i can get 0-1% drain per hour, other days it stays busy on its own... on average, with screen usage, even back running Froyo, my usual screen-on limit was about 3-4 hours TOTAL (including activities)... poor 3g signal and the weather have a major effect on battery life.

Codecs are working in the latest version, with the notable exception of .mpg, which is a samsung limitation (market players handle mpg somewhat).

I think most of the other issues have been nipped in the latest release.

This ROM DOES support boot animations the old fashioned way - replace /system/media/bootanimation.zip with one of your choice. - Sorry about the delay!

[Epic 4G Android Development] ehurt152:
Sweet!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ansong:
I made a backup in cwm (I'm learning, lol) and flashed the slim version over 1.0.08.

I've already gone back for now because my wifi interface wouldn't stay on. No error message or anything, I toggled it on, it looked like it would try to come up but then it would turn itself off again. I thought maybe it lost the network names/keys etc so I restored them from titanium but nothing changed.

And apparently I spoke too soon about having no video issues in 1.0.08, I haven't tried any other sites but neither the YouTube app nor the browser (on YouTube) are able to play videos. As far as I know I am only able to play an mp4 video I have downloaded from YouTube.

I don't watch many videos but I don't think I had that problem with 1.0.07a...
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
Wow..I had just literally flashed 1.0.08 a few hours before you updated this thinking it wouldn't be updated for a few more days. Well, time to download again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ansong:
Disregard this...Apparently I haven't configured droidwall properly.
