It didn't work perfectly but u could put them in oder u just have to put whatever u want all the way at the top that's the only place it would work so u would have to rearange them backwards, putting what u want last at the top, then what's after that above it which pushes that down one and the same for the rest. .. kinda complicated cuz idk how to explain it really well

And I can't waittt for ur mtd rom lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Ah. This somewhat answers the PM I just sent you. Maybe I'll try the green theme...

Is there a way to remove a theme without reflashing the ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
I don't believe so... but you can just wipe dalvik and cache and reflash rom which will keep all of your data intact
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
This, or just flash the default blue theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
3.4 is/will be an MTD formatted rom. After careful revision and testing, I have found MTD to be perfectly functional with no ill effects.

There's still a couple of installation bugs to iron out before release... rest assured, if you are on 3.3 or have followed instructions to manually convert to MTD, then you are not missing out on much... yet.

While I have received several complaints regarding 4G functionality, and subsequent 4G-Wifi interaction issues, I have not had the time to look into this matter. It seems that if you do not use 4G (or in my case, have no access to it), then you shouldn't see any issues.

That said, I may be looking into a full EL30 update after having viewed QBking77's review. If only for a purer CIQ removal, new call interface, and potential other fixes (assuming nothing further was broken by Samsprint).

Sprint OTA Security Fix Update

I've just gotten the OTA 'Security Fix' update notice and assume this deals with the Carrier IQ functionality. http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/samsung-epic-4g/

A few questions

- can/should this update be installed - I'm assuming NO.

- did ThunderHawk 3.3 include the Carrier IQ code because it was embedded in the Sprint Gingerbread stock Kernel? Or is this not an issue for 'us'

- and, I read that this update also addresses a speaker feedback issue. Do forum members believe that the Voodoo controls app already successfully deals with this issue?

Thanks EB
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
OTA updates generally fail on a rooted rom due to system apk removals, as in most custom roms.

CarrierIQ was disabled and partly removed in thanks to K0nane. It is inactive and dead, although the carcass remains. The EL30 update should be completely clean of it, though I recommend you wait for rom updates.

As for the speaker feedback... I have no comment... anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ebroker:
Thanks for the quick feedback! Hope the new full-time position is going well.

All - I'm of course Superfrozen... is there an easy way to get rid of the update notifications or should let it try to install and fail to get rid of the alerts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] treoarx:
Thanks dude. I should looked on here before I IM you. Looking out for that 3.4...RR 3.3 sweestest..!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Is MTD something I need to be concerned about knowing about? When it comes time to upgrade to 3.4, if I am not currently converted to MTD will it matter?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
It will convert to MTD for you.

EDIT: also you should take a look here for info on MTD:

I don't live in a 4G market either but travel to one monthly. Last wk when in a 4G market (where I know from past experience I get a strong 4G signal) I had to un freeze, update my PRL list and Profile and re-'Super Freeze'.

4G connected well and quickly after that. Download speeds were 8277kbps and upload was 1485kbps... I'm good w that!

I should Add, that I did not experience any wifi/4g interaction issues and turned both off and on multiple times (to save batt etc) w/o rebooting and didn't see issues with these radios reconnecting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I too am being plagued by these update notices. Shouldn't SUPERFREEZE stop it from looking for updates? It doesn't seem to have worked this time around for me. :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] SMF80:
Wow, I just have to say. After months of roms with all the fun gingerbread bugs, I've been using your rom for almost a month straight. I haven't had 1 freezup or reboot or anything really. I can even begin to describe how thankful I am for that. Fantastic work. Looking foward for future excellence. Thank you
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Just let it try to install... it will fail and give you an exclamation point... pull battery and reboot... no more annoying notification....
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Good call. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Not a problem...
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
Like I mentioned in earlier posts I switched a week or two ago to legendary rom but kept the same modem and kernel to see if the 4g problems persisted. The 4G worked great although i had a few random reboots and other small issues with that rom. Yesterday i decided to switch back to RandomRom because even with the 4g issues it still is a much better rom. However, the 4g/wifi issues began almost immediately. I know you are very busy with converting the rom to mtd, among other things, but hopefully you can figure this out soon. In the meantime i have disabled 4g on my phone for now to save me from having to reboot countless time every day. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Teract:
Installed it myself, just for giggles. Phone reset and I received an error image on reboot. Pulled the battery and powered back on afterwords. Booted into cwm without using the buttons to do so. Reset the phone from cwm and booted normally. No issues since and no notifications since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
So I haven't had time this week to determine the issue with my MTD conversion. I can make my rom work on MTD if you're already on MTD... so that's in progress. :D

On the other hand, I did delve into EL30 for fun last night, and so far my mods look fairly simple to port over. So that's good news. I may just release 3.4 MTD for those already on MTD... I haven't decided. But obviously, with a new update revision, EL30 will mark ThunderHawk 4.0. And hopefully I'll get MTD conversion actually working with that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jed Dignazio:
Well ill be sticking around. I have had 0 issues the this rom and havent had the need to flash. Its been like three weeks! Thanks Random!
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I haven't reflashed my phone since I first installed the latest version of RandomRom 3.0 and honestly, I have had no major issues. The only issue is the persistent wifi/4g issue. I can deal with that! The battery life has been incredible! It's fast! Reliable! I've had NO crashes, reboots, or force closes.

I'll wait patiently for 4.0. I've had no reason to dive into this MTD stuff. It's working just fine right now for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I don't think random will mind me saying that I have not been able to make 4g fail after wifi on the 3.4 mtd test build he sent me last week. I was able to consistently make it fail on 3.3 with various kernels, and am following the same steps on 3.4 to try and cause a failure. I can only test this scenario once a day, but it has worked 4/4 times so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
Glad to hear it seems to work better on 3.4. Can't wait for its release. This is still by far my favorite rom even with the 4g issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
I really need a reflash - def having some issues. Looking forward to 3.4 but not on MTD.

Random - if your MTD conversion script is not working can I manually convert to MTD first? How would you suggest doing that. I was reading the thread a page back but a little more confused. Should I just wipe data, install the MIUI MTD rom, then install 3.4 (when it is avail) ?

I use 4G a lot and def having connectivity issues on 4g and wifi
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I've changed the direction of ThunderHawk. It will, in fact, NOT be a self-converting rom. I will be taking a cue from Senseisimple on this one and creating a rom that will install on MTD or BML. For potential MTD users, a conversion .zip will be provided on the install page to flash prior to installation. To that respect, I'm hoping to package up 3.4 this weekend and set full-force into 4.0 with EL30.

I'm also hoping to enable both upcoming roms to incrementally update, switching out only affected files rather than the current backup-format-install-restore option. The latter option should still go into effect if you flash over a different rom.

Please note, none of this is complete OR tested, but I do expect it to work and to release soon. Recently I barely have the time to even respond on here, let alone actually DO anything. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Teract:
Has anyone managed to get allshare running on Thunderhawk? I'm getting FCs on it and some other apps, which makes me wonder if I need to reflash or if the version of allshare that worked on froyo doesn't work on gingerbread.

Edit: Nevermind. I was used to flashing a zip in CWM that added default samsung apps. I modified the config file to disgard all samsung apps that weren't allshare and the flash actually removed several apps in Thunderhawk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
The version of allshare included in the ROM works for me, and i've experienced no force closes. On a side note, the 4g/wifi issue hasn't manifested itself since the update notice came around and since I flashed the EL30 modem. But around the time it fixed itself I noticed my Bluetooth would have issues turning on before a reboot. Still no big deal, but interesting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Back on stock and updated OTA to EL30. If I wipe data, I will still be on EL30, right? Is it then safe to flash 3.3 over EL30 stock?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Yep you'll still be on el30 and yes. It should flash over fine...
[Epic 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
Does anyone know a way to get rid of the EL30 reminder? I don't think I can stand waiting for an update if I can't turn that off. I don't have the patience. (Not a knock against Random at all, btw)
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Yep... press install now... it will fail and send you to a screen with an exclamation point... pull battery and reboot... if it shoots you into cwm just reboot from there and you're good to go...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
That's what I did. Also wiped cache after battery pull and superfreeze
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
SUCCESS!

Don't get tooo excited. I'm really excited, but you shouldn't be... yet.

I will soon release 3.4 for you. It has some changes, nothing too major in my opinion. Except for the installer I've redesigned for 3.4 and 4.0.

And I JUST finished it. Every time I thought I had a feature figured out, something else was botched. And after some research, it appeared that others had tried some part of my overall idea, but it didn't quite line up. But I finally tweaked and rewrote and rebuild and it all came together.

What does this mean? Sweetness, that's what!

So you're running 3.3, but you want the updates 3.4 has to offer? Well ordinarily, I'd say to back up your stuff with something like Mybackup or Titanium, then run the rom .zip, and pray that the backup/restore utility brings back up your setup with no loss of functionality. Now I suppose I could make a .zip with just the 5 files I changed, but that becomes too many things for me to manage and you to download... no, no it's not clean enough. NOW the rom will identify that you're on the latest version, and apply only the changed files without any wiping! This is how themes are usually applied, so it's safe, almost instant, and harmless! Did I mention fast?

So you converted your phone to MTD, but your wife's is still on BML? No problem! With a hat tip to Bbelos and Senseisimple, ThunderHawk can now install on MTD, EXT4, or RFS(will convert to EXT4) from one single .zip installer. But on that note, it will not convert for you, I leave format selections up to the end user.

So you're on a different rom but you want to come back to ThunderHawks awesomeness? Not a problem! This same single .zip installer will still attempt to preserve your data before flashing over a different rom! Now I still recommend backing up your own data just in case if you take this method... ;)

So you totally botched your phone and you want to start all over? It can do that too! Give it a wipe, and a clean install! You'll have a nice fresh full ThunderHawk installation. That's right, it can update the latest ThunderHawk, flash BML or MTD, upgrade a different rom, and still do clean installs!

And you know what? It still supports lite/full installations and my other customizations ;).

I know, I'm excited. But it took quite a lot of frustrating trials to iron out the bugs. I moved so rapidly on this that I couldn't even involve my testers. But now that its ready to perform, they'll shortly be testing the rom itself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
lol.. sounds like an infomercial.. but i dig it. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Nice job random... can't wait to hit up the new ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
WOW

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Man how SWEET is THAT !!!

Simply incredible what you've done for the installation of ROMs

<e-trade commercial>

Let me show you my surprised face .... :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Not sure if you noticed but he put 4.0 alpha up for testing in the usual spot. It's not themed much yet, but he want's us to check different variations of the install process right now. I see I'm the only one to download it so far...

Not public yet for those wondering.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Is the main diff btwn 3.4 and 4.0 thei22 vs the el30?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Yessir. Biggest change some people are desssppperate for:

Pure CIQ-Free.

-Sent from my Random Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Also, 4.0 will stop the OTA update message from appearing on a fresh EI22 flash, and give the new call answer screen. I found the OTA message reappearing every time I revert back to 3.4 from 4.0. I still have not been able to make 4g fail after wifi on 3.4 or 4.0. This has only been tested once on 4.0 alpha so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Actually, the new call answer screen and alarm screen will be in 3.4 just for fun too. ;)

Now if I can just find the time to finish it and post it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Here you go

Because you've all waited so patiently, here's 3.4.

While not a huge upgrade, a few things have changed.

First and foremost, it flashes over MTD or BML, but it does no conversion (except RFS to EXT4).

New phone incoming call and alarm clock interface from EL30 as well as the accidentally excluded low-batt video player and a few minor tweaks, a couple in particular for MTD.

4.0 EL30 is in my hands, and 95% complete. That kinda makes this mostly a teaser. But mostly this is a test of the new installer system. Anyone on 3.3 should be able to flash 3.4 in seconds as part of my new incremental installer scripting.

4.0 will do the same thing to 3.4 and 3.3. If the installer continues to perform as it has in testing, this means that dedicated ThunderHawk fans should no longer even need to consider a backup before an upgrade (although I still recommend backups!).

Also, all theme files have been updated for MTD compatibility as well as the lite-full switcher.

Happy flashing!

UPDATE: I have also re-coded the installer, so that there should be no more issues regarding missing directories or files on installation. Also, I currently cannot access my blog, so the links will be direct for now. They will, however, be moved to my site later.

UPDATE 2: For any potential complainers, yes the .zip has increased in size, due to the inclusion of a kernel for BML and a kernel for MTD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
downloading now :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
Of course, an hour after I flash CM9 you go and release 3.4 RandomKing! :p

J/k, congrats! I will download and flash tonight. Looking forward to it!

Edit: Damn, out of thanks for the day (only 8???). I'll hit you up tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It's mostly a toy. 4.0 is my real surprise. Combining my new installation features, with a pure CIQ removal (courtesy of Sprint and Samsung) with some new features, and I believe a solution to wireless problems a few users have had(i.e. 4G+Wifi and Bluetooth disconnects). Not to mention, the pure joy many users will experience simply for switching from EI22 to EL30. :rolleyes:

But this upgrade should go so nicely, how can you resist??
[Epic 4G Android Development] a2tz:
Awesome! Random, I've always liked your rom. Just tried cm9 and mtd for the first time yesterday. But probably run yours daily along with it. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Sweet, now I can easily upgrade the lady's phone from 3.3 to 3.4. I was far too busy (lazy) to upgrade her before. Just switched myself back to the 4.0 test build after playing with cm9 for a few days. Much respect to that project, but your roms fit my usage better. I will jump between the two as development progresses with cm9, but right now more of my needed and wanted functions work better with 4.0. Thanks for your continued support.

Did you ever get tiny flashlight to install properly on initial flash? If not, people can just remove and install it again in the market. Also I'm looking forward to see if the 4g/wifi issue is squashed for others llike it was for me when moving from 3.3 to 3.4. It still has not failed on 4.0 either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I'm curious, what are your favorite parts about it? I haven't tried it. Too busy to try something unknown. :D

Nah I didn't get it to work. But apparently Senseisimple has a script that force installs some apks like this that otherwise won't work? Like quickpic or terminal emulator too. I may try to run something like that in 4.0.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Something wrong with link. When I click on download, it downloads an html copy of the download page
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I just had an issue trying to dl 3.4 with the lady's phone as well. It only downloaded just over 10kb. Probably a dev host issue as I have seen similar reports in other threads lately. Give it some time and hopefully it will resolve itself.

Edit: For random's question: I liked some of the little perks in cm9. Pulling down the notification bar from a lockscreen, face unlock, some of the animations, just a lot of new stuff to mess with. Overall functionality was above expectations for an alpha build. I could easily use it as a daily driver, but find thunderhawk more polished for my daily usage in the current state of both. It's definitely worth checking out if you get a chance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
I have been using nothing but legendary, as a tester what do you think of this rom. I'm one of those guys that usually says if it ain't broke don't fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I guess I'm confused, and maybe this belongs in the general CM9 thread, but with Widget Locker, I've been able to access the notification bar from the lockscreen all along...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I'm not sure why, but my links don't show properly in the XDA app. Use your browser.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I don't use widget locker, but do you mean it will let you access the notification bar on a lockscreen on any rom? Cm9 has it by default because I believe that is a part of ics. Random asked what I liked about cm9 and those were just a few thoughts off the top of my head.

Edit: and I mean the pulldown notification if that is what is causing confusion...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Same results. Takes me to the dev file hosting page. I click on the link and ikt downloads a html file of the download page
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I don't think this is the same issue you had with your theme links a while back that we discussed. I still think it's just the dev host servers acting up temporarily.
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
Couldn't download it on my phone (gave a 10Kb zip) but downloaded fine on the computer. Install went very smooth, no data wipe and everything works! Of minor note, on boot it asked if I wanted to use launcher pro or touchwiz, I didn't think there was a choice before. Great work, can't wait for 4.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It was pointed out to me, that a factory reset erases the launcher. Twlauncher was added back to system as a backup in this case.

P.S. I've confirmed the failure on mobile downloading... stupid dev-host redid their site... nothing good so far. I may be permanently switching.

Everything seems to be functioning ok so far.

Thanks for your hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Yeah works through the desktop. Runs great. Since I already own luancher pro. My restore messed up the theme a bit so I had to re flash and store some apps manually otherwise runs great
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Then you're all ready, 4.0 should update you just as fast and painlessly when it's ready!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Is there only one lockscreen in this

Also is there a reason you chose kernel .4 instead of .6
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I think his main focus has been on the MTD version. Not sure if anyone ever ran it on BML. He just dropped 3.4 in the current state so he could focus more on 4.0. I tested 3.4 a while ago when it was MTD only. He has changed the install process since then to work with both formats. Probably just an oversight. Good catch so he can update it for 4.0.
