I even found some code for them that toggles 4g on the sammy. Emailed it to them and no response :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
No, I have not adjusted the voltages. I am actually scared to do so for fear of messing things up on my phone. Is there an "optimal" voltage level to where I need to set my voltages so that I maximize battery life and eliminate crashes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Ok, so what i'm seeing there is a permissions issue, which relates to people having wifi issue after install. though it's odd that it's happening after your phone died since that's the sort of thing that happens when journaling is off (unclean shutdowns cause issues) but i've had my phone battery pop out of the phone after dropping it and it's died from low battery with no problems so far.

look here, a suggested that was PMed to me:

it makes sense. now to avoid this in the future is what i'm currently working on.

Thanks, i was getting butthurt at the sudden attention about ciq score and people making certain claims/demands rather than actual performance of the ROM. So certainly shouldn't have removed the app that had previously been known to NOT remove (though only for PRL/profile and even voicemail reasons, hadn't associated it with MMS). I don't really keep open communications with other devs unless there is a pressing issue that they bring up or open a thread for.

you emailed me? i haven't seen an email or pm, guaranteed i would have responded.

Really, after all i've heard and tested myself, i i've left voltages alone at default for max stability. it's more important to watch for rogue apps than the savings gained from undervolting. the main variable remaining is just how long or how fast the phone goes/stays to top speed... setting the governor to conservative will save you battery at the expense of snappiness (which i find acceptable), ondemand will be snappier but a slight hit if you're using your phone a lot, even screen transitions use cpu, so keep that in mind.

I know i need to release the next version to address a lot of these issues, but i'm really making sure the install routine won't mess up anything for those who are running stable. this has been a long time coming since the first version, and even on other roms, since data portability issues from rom-to-rom, version-to-version have been a major problem throughout so hang in there guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Monkey Pox:
Updated to .9 and can no longer connect to wifi. :(

Hopefully .10 will fix this because I love this ROM.

I have sprint Total Equipment Protection as well. Do you know if they will cover damages if your rooted and running a custom ROM? I never overclock my phone, so the only thing that could go bad would be the USB port, screen, etc. Considering the damages would be be completely unrelated to being rooted or running a custom rom, I dont see why they wouldnt cover it right?

I mean its basically insurance that IM paying for, so I should be able to do whatever the hell I want.

On their website it says the following is covered...

Loss

Theft

Physical or liquid damage

Mechanical and electrical failure due to defect or normal wear and tear

It says nothing about being rooted or running a customer rom. Of course, i didnt read the 100 pages of consumer disclaimer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
I honestly don't remember where I read it but any kind of custom modification will void your Sprint warranty. However, if you have Asurion, Samsung, or Radio Shack it should be no problem. A Sprint employee stated that rooting and using a custom ROM voided the warranty even though I don't think the specific words, "root" or "custom ROM" are actually in the paperwork.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
I think he meant the Beautiful Widget dev team ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
When adjusting voltages, what do I need to adjust or set to maximum???? There are various voltages one for each setting, 1340Mhz, 1300Mhz, 1200Mhz, etc.....

Which one do I max out, all of them?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Ha, good thing I was trolling by. Actually that is how I stumbled onto your ROM. Legendary was bouncing all over the CIQ scores from 70 to 470 and could not understand why. Someone told me they get solid 70 here so tried it out. Nice job by the way. Really smooth. So hung around a bit to watch for updates and saw the PRL problem. So now I through Legendary back on and renamed Sprintandroidextension and rebooted and sure enough pulled a solid 70. So you have actually answered the question as to all the different readings people are getting. For some reason that file triggers different levels in the Voodoo CIQ detector depending on what it is doing and interacting with. For this, we thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Yeah i think once you've flashed the phone, it's been tampered so they figure anything could have gone wrong... HOWEVER, considering people had problems with OTA, it's entirely reasonable to assume that anything can go wrong anyway.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027904 is the solution i will be using, finally flashing the stock recovery as a last goodbye to this particular phone with the broken usb in expectation of the new one.

OHHH haha oops- touchy, touchy!

i think i've accidentally stumbled onto a lot of things without even realizing it until later, sometimes even undoing the fix by accident and then reports come in and it's like DING DING DING. A lot has been solved through people like you randomly passing by offering your solution... i tend to forget about the community effort this is and end up feeling like everyone is in competition when clearly all the roms have different strengths and appeals.

I'm curious how many people have torn apart my rom package to see what's different compared to theirs, i know that's how i started and sometimes reference others to revert back, in particular in finding the holy grail to properly set system permissions, but i've sort of hit a wall of how useful that has become so everything that is an issue at this point which isn't an obvious fix needs a novel solution, i should probably share more of my findings but a lot of it i feel like rom devs have maybe already come across so they'd be like DUH.

Is it just me or does a kernel with voodoo color actually make the colors worse (dingier/yellower) until you set them properly specifically to the settings suggested earlier.

I'm wondering, should i stick with 2.0.8 kernel or do 3.0.1, specifically for this reason
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
I agree. the defaults are off a bit more than they should be, definitely a sign to up the blues a bit, but once you set the color, it looks amazing. I think things look even better now than before.

On a battery life note, I finally got around to charging my battery fully, and only used 15% in the past 5 hours. HUGE boost! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I'm going to be going through the code for Voodoo Color more thoroughly soon. I'm sure there are some things I didn't do as properly as I could have. If nothing else, there is code to tweak the defaults.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I think i have worked out my release strategy for now based on issues everyone has reported, since it all seems to revolve around the same few things namely related to the actual install.

1. Incremental updates, i will leave 3 previous incrementals available at any time (i.e. if you're running 1.0.09, you can flash 1.0.10 inc, then .11 then .12 to get to the latest version at that time). -- This will stand in for a non-wiping version. because all problems have been solved by flashing clean-slate, then doing any restores.

2. Until i perfect the updater- intelligent backup routine i've been working on, the versions will be clean install. There is something different about the way CWM backs up data vs the old cpio and new tar method that never fails, which i'm trying to replicate (possibly because it's a direct image which tar should be able to replicate) while also introducing any necessary new data/apps for the update. Hoffman1984, Kennyglass123, this is relevant to you guys with Legend so i think perhaps we should work on it together. and we'll need testers.

Generally, it's up to the user to make sure their data is backed up and restorable, but it's a much appreciated nicety to have easy portability. I think the more complex the mods are to roms, and the more we customize everything about them to squeeze out every bit of performance, it makes backing up a difficult task to support all variations (i.e. coming from RFS/STOCK and other roms with different sets of mods and implementations)

Thanks! glad i'm not crazy in noticing that - i appreciate this work because i have felt the screen has too much of the slightest green tint anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
I do like voodoo color, but only with the settings here. My main problem with it is I have to manually dim the screen. Too low brightness and I get some crazy yellow tint on everything. Too much brightness will sometimes make crazy horizontal color streaks on the screen.

Compare your screen to a galaxy s 2 and you will see that the s2 has more contrast. I think voodoo color can almost match the s2 screens color depth.

EDIT:

I got it working again by tweaking the settings in voodoo color. Here is what I'm using for my epic.

Screen colors multipliers:

Red = 2300875360

Green = 2300875360

Blue = 2709919680

v1 gamma:

Red = -17

Green = -20

Blue = -11

This will work with all brightness settings including auto. When its all the way dim it seems like the color is a little life-less, but once it starts to kick up it seems better than stock to me.

For voodoo color on the 3.0.1++ kernel, or any of the 3.x kernels (as of 12/10) these settings above might be our best bet for auto dimming right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Yep. I meant them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
Pretty much the only issue I've had with this 1.0.09 rom (I've used samurai kernels: 2.0.6, 3.0.0+, and 3.0.1++, and the latest shadow kernel) Is if I reboot my battery stats go crazy. Now I already tried the wipe battery stats but that doesn't help.

I've wiped battery stats and then went 2 days with no problems. Decided to reboot and my battery went from 99% to 20%. Attached is a screen shot that has 4 reboots in it. You can see the first 2 reboots drop ~ 10 %. Then on the 3rd it drops ~40%. Climbs back to where it was and drops ~40% on the next reboot, followed by some heavy use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
this has plagued me since a certain version of samurai, before i briefly used nubernel and the problem wasn't there... it started around samurai 1.2.6, where on first boot, the graph would show solid all bars wifi, awake, screen, gps for a few minutes until update, then would normalize, but every time i restart it's kind of hit or miss on whether the battery will be where it left off or if it will drop... until plugging it in. which is kinda scary if you're out and about and it does it. i've reported it in samurai thread a few times but earthbound can't reproduce it or it's low on the totem pole.

I've tried different things with the rom but nothing solves it except changing kernels, but samurai is generally stable so i can't get rid of it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
The reboot/battery stats bug has been around for awhile. Don't take it personally. Lots of us get it. Either reboot with a charger connected or if yu get the sudden drop just shut down, pull the battery for a minute, pop it back in and boot. It will be back to where it was. It is some kind of reporting glitch and is common.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Or just not care and ignore it. Usually when this happens to me you can watch the battery increase like it is charging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
the main reason I don't like it is if you do a reboot, or crash at say about 25% battery. When the phone comes up it might show as critical and power the phone off,when it really has 25% left not less than 9%. This has happened to me before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jbb3393:
help i just downloaded your new rom then wiped everything, tried to install from sdcard and it is aborting with status 7?? assert failed: getprop?

thanks

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

ok so i have tried 10+ times to install rom and everytime i get the same error. i even tried redownloading the rom and still nothing. :-( im stumped...
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Something has in the past set your phone to a different model (possibly as a market fix). the installer checks what model phone (SPH-D700) you're installing on. There is an option in CWM at the install zip screen that says "Toggle Script Asserts" select that and it should say Script Asserts are off. then try to run it. Let me know

Alternately, run the flashable CleanSlate file in the first post before hand then flash the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jbb3393:
thanks for the help, i did try to download the cleanslate but when opened to a new page it shows error file 404. so i was trying the full rom, downloaded it twice just in case the first was bad and neither worked. downloaded the slim and immediately worked. also i did try the asserts change and didnt help
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
thanks for the heads up on the file 404. I'm uploading v1.0.10 now, with incremental update (you'll want that one since you just installed 1.0.09 and it has a few important fixes). In the meantime, you might have a problem with MMS.

You can view the attachments for this thread for sprintandroidextension.apk to put in /system/app (es file explorer is included or root explorer if you have it)will fix the mms issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
So my browser hasn't crashed my phone into a reboot all day. I haven't changed anything yet. I wonder if any non-mobile sites I visit is the reason it crashes my phone.

In that case, what voltage settings should be maxed out.

Is anyone having voicemail issues? 1.0.9 doesn't retrieve my voicemail whatsoever....

Go a couple of pages back and get the sprintandroidextension.apk I uploaded and push it to system\app with root explorer.

Any body had problems with charging shutting your phone off?

My scenario seems totally random. I can't get any one series events to recreate reliably. Other than it's always around charging. Some times the second I plug it in, bam it's the battery icon you get for charging the phone turned off. Other times, pull it off the charger while using it. Them it Seems like I can't wake the phone, then I'm getting the boot animation.

I was going to write it off as my phone, but then my brother (who finally let me root his) told me he was going to take his phone in for insurance as well. Turns out his was doing the same sporadic behavior. Although neither of us experienced the SMS problems some have.

and just curiosity, talked with you a little sensei at the beginning of your ROM about the "dark/night vision theme", I am still super excited to are this :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Sounds like a bad USB port/cable/charger.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Just waiting for the Samurai Kernel after 3.0.1 to upload 1.0.10 - includes the mms fix.

The charging issues can be any of a few things, i have been researching this thoroughly, starting with a faulty stock recovery image (possibly damaged at some point with the GB leaks/some bad flash or script) - this issue won't let the phone stay off while plugged in and other random charging/usb issues, my phone wouldn't even successfully get into download mode for odin...

second is a general rom issue that i have solved in 1.0.10 which you note that you see the battery flash but then nothing or freeze or restart.

Kernel, some inconsistencies exist in the overall charging process/usb connectivity starting at the kernel level.

and like kennyglass said bad usb port/cable/charger - definitely can't be ruled out...

I've been working on color packs but more important is to have a solid rom first, after a few missteps with the recent versions, i think we're gonna be back up to par with 1.0.10.

there's some lag in samurai 3.0.1, so i haven't wanted to release with it just yet, earthbound has indicated a new version will be out today and that is when i will release the latest version. There will be incrementals from .09 to .10 as well as Clean Slate FULL/SLIM versions... no non-wiping at the moment.

Sorry for the delay!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
Thanks for the reminder! I had forgotten about this and tested my voicemail app today and had to download the new one in order to get it to work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] tonysohn:
Any reason not to switch from Samurai to Shadow Kernel? From what I experienced, Shadow kernel seems to provide a more stable experience. The philosophy behind Samurai feels more like it's trying to squeeze every bit of performance at the cost of stability.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I have been wondering this, i haven't had a chance to give it a long enough go since i've been running around like crazy and my phone has to just work so i've been running installing it now to put it through its paces. I like the frequency of the development on Samurai but i agree and have said it before that it's an experiment in performance rather than just maintaining stability - which isn't a fault, but it is tough to stand by when all you want is for it to just work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That's why I nicknamed (in my head) Samurai as the crackhead kernel since they were obsessing on OC and performance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:

Wanted to update the status on my issues (mms and wifi) to being fixed.

[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
After running ShadowKernel for a day, I actually had better stability running samurai. A lot of apps that I use were plain unresponsive with ShadowKernel (including skype), whereas they run quite well in samurai.

My battery life is about the same under both kernels, and I had some small quirkiness dealing with shadow. (Wasn't able to select recovery from the power menu)

EB had some unfortunate messes to clean up, so his kernel update has been delayed until (hopefully) tomorrow morning. *crosses fingers*
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
bbelos is discussing with me some mods to shadowkernel to work out compatibility, i'm always pleased with the pace of development EB has with samurai but i'd like to include a stable kernel in the rom, including the latest fixes but not necessarily the extra untested tweaking - the latest samurai 3.0.1 has some major lag issues with scrolling using the stock gpu speeds. I've delayed releasing SleeperROMv1.0.10 until i could decide on a kernel to use, which would currently be samurai 2.0.8, but i wanted the voodoo color as well without any of the gpu modding.

I'm going to release 1.0.10 with Samurai 3.0.1 for the heck of it, because we need to fix the wifi issues people have had with SleeperROM lately but be warned that i am aware of lag.

SleeperROM 1.0.10

NEWS, EVERYONE!

SleeperROM 1.0.10 is now available

The Full and Slim packages currently do a clean-slate install while work is done on a standardized, fault-free install method. No need to wipe, it will format for you.

CHANGELOG

1.0.10 12/13/2011

- IAP Samurai 3.0.1 60Hz/200MHz (stock)

- Sensible Voodoo Color Presets to avoid the dingy yellowness and yellow/geen weirdness (adjust with included Voodoo Control free) - Thanks to syntax_error for settings

- Preset CPU Timing 100-1000Mhz noop/conservative stock/no undervoltage

- Fixed 3g data button in status toggles (Toadlife)

- MMS/Voicemail/PRL/Profile update fix

- Wifi activation issue fixed

- fixed phone-off charge battery display (if you still have phone-off-charging issues it may be due to a bad samsung recovery partition)

- Updated Google Maps, Titanium Backup

- Pre-Zipaligned all packages for faster initial boot
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
The new samurai seems to be a big... "YMMV" case. I had a bit of lag in the beggining, but it seems to have vanished lately. I was watching qbking77's vieo on the new kernel, he mentioned something about the kernel lagging for a good while you begin to use it, and it starts to go away after an hour or so.

different topic: since I end up throwing all my other "ugh, samsung!" moments into here... is there anything that can be done about the speed of charging the device? It seems to take forever, nd if I moderately use my phone while it charges (sending a text every couple of minutes), it seems to never even charge at all. I very often have cases where the phone glides right along the 8% line, never decreasing nor increasing. Just taking up all of the juice that the usb is feeding it. I ordered 3 new batteries, and an after market battery charger though. This way I'll always have a battery prepared. ( Also, this guarantees that I'll get an overnight charge, whereas my phone currently likes to slide out my charging cable discretely while I sleep, which means it'll be dead in the morning.)

./endrant about charging

can't wait to hit my epic with some v.10!

Edit: Wow, just as I post! Nice timing! Updating right now. :)

All systems go! Switching between different data services works without fail, and the voodoo color settings is definitely better looking than what I threw my sliders in.

Did any of your colour styling preview make the cut for v.10?

Question:

I have had almost no problems with 1.0.09 except for the rare shutdown while using my browser (easiliy fixed by adjusting voltages, I believe).

Is it worth downloading and flashing this update?

Also, I always following this process:

***CLEAN INSTALL I recommend, generally, a clean install.

1. Backup with Titanium Backup, then a CWM Backup.

2. In CWM, go to "Mounts and Storage" > "Format /Data", just once will do.

3. Pre-ROM Wipe, install

4. To restore your basic data with Titanium Backup,

Should I update using: Full Featured CLEAN SLATE:
