Like the ROM

Hey nice ROM, thanks for releasing it.

I have an issue though, and for whatever reason "search thread" isn't working for me right now so if it's been mentioned previously I apologize.

My Swype dictionary is empty. I can't swype a single word, I have to manually type everything, even the most basic words. Any knowledge on this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bit1:
I'm just loving the Rom Sensei. I think it was mentione before but I'm still having that can't turn Wifi on without a reboot if 4g was on previously. Normally not an issue but I've been using the 4g a lot lately :-). Other than that I love the stability, haven't had it lock up and running it at 1.2 Ghz. Afraid to burn out my phone if I keep it any higher for an extended period of time. Other than that just thanks for such a sweet Rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bchalker:
Great rom so far. One issue I have is google voice search isnt working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] punzada:
This may be silly but make sure your swype is set to "EN" and not "ES" and using the spanish dictionary - I always forget to disable the spanish dictionary when first wiping a new rom. If its set to the correct dictionary then all I can say is that I don't have the same issue.

This I am able to replicate, odd issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
You also need to make sure that it's set to autocorrect. I had this happen when I was using a different ROM. It cleared up when I restored data. [Unfortunately, seems that restoring data for everything screws some things up.] If you have the time, you might want to flash another ROM that has Swype working correctly and then flash back to this one without clearing the data. You'll be sure to have the full dictionaries.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
For any of the included app issues, (except voice search which will from now on be included as a user app) such as swype, uninstall and install from the market - i know this seems like a cop-out but do tell me what doesn't work though because i try to fix it (or remove it if not possible to fix) in the next version.

in the case of swype, you can uninstall it - JUST the SWYPE (not swype installer) and then immediately run the swype installer.

if you've never registered for swype beta, go to beta.swype.com and register then using your registration, you can install the latest swype version with the included installer. I had included beta in previous versions but i found that i was breaking their TOS in bypassing their beta registration so made the stock swype a removeable user app.

Anybody have issues with the compass not working right? Mine is almost 180 degrees off. I found out the hard way when I tried it for the first time since I flashed when I needed to use dish pointer pro today. I used it on stock ei22 with no issues.

I didn't have time to play around with it and try to fix it yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I can confirm the compass is pointing almost opposite by default - but to be honest, i've always had issues with the compass in this phone never finding/settling north and being jerky even if i set it down i can see the compass jerking back and forth by a few degrees (calibrating it usually gets it pointing in the GENERAL direction or nothing but never complete/smooth accuracy)... i just figured there was something wrong with my phone since it's had the problem even across os versions.. i've also noticed that holding the phone throws the compass readings off if i move a finger the pointer is skewed toward the next closest part touching the phone.

i just calibrated it (moving it in a figure 8) and it's pointing approximately north but i think it's still off by a few degrees based on a map (i may have to fashion a "compass" tonight out of a wine cork and magnetized needle to verify magnetic north.

On further inspection, i'm seeing that the compass is currently responding to TILT/phone angle parallel to the ground as in, getting its orientation reading form the pitch/roll of the phone, can anyone confirm (in Elixir, you can see sensor readings under the sensors tab, and turn on the Orientation sensor - tilt the phone left/right and watch the direction corresponds with the "roll" angle of the phone ... sounds like a kernel issue...

it also sounds like i will be forking a kernel version with minimal overclocking/undervolt for fun, but more so to fix radio and video issues (bluetooth/wifi/4g) people are having because rather than stability, there is currently more focus on pushing the phone's limits experimentally. I personally want my phone more stable than i want it overclocked though i am grateful for all the work that's gone into tweaking those parameters...

EDIT: look at comment 6 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16741 looks like it is indeed a kernel/driver issue

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g/40669-bad-compass-epic-4.html look around post 37, it seems to be a common problem - the upside down calibration (i held the phone face down above my head and did the Accelerometer calibration in display settings and aligned the circle, but if it's still there, i bet the yamaha sensor calibration (which was previously used for auto rotate lag fix) would work as well... the compass is more stable (less jitter) and is closer to magnetic north... try it and post your result - we really shouldn't have to go through this to make this work

Sensei,

I'm not a fan of the Swype version included in the ROM. Not bring nit-picky of your choice, just not a fan of the subtleties. I keep a flashable version of the NS4G version on my SD card. If I wanted to flash that, would I first want to remove both the current version of Swype and the installer?

Thanks for the great ROM! So far it's very quick & responsive! Just got my phone set up the way I like after flashing earlier this evening. I'll be back in a couple of days to let you know how the "daily drive" goes. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Thanks for the review. as for swype, just uninstall both, and the samsung keypad will become default automatically, then you can flash your preferred version.. do note that if it's placed in system, only incremental updates to any roms will preserve it (non-wiping roms usually only preserve the data mount).

SenseiSimple, Thank You my friend for the best EI22 ROM by a landslide. Ever since EI22 came out I have been waiting and trying every ROM on XDA. I ran into so many problems with other ROMs on my wife's phone and mine too that my wife got pissed at me and made me put her phone back on EC05. I too was at my wits end and was ready to either go back to EC05 or some half ass stable GB leak and deal with random reboots...and then I saw your ROM. I followed it for over a week and saw that you seemed to be the only developer that was consistently updating his ROM with improvements, new features and you were paying attention to people in your thread. So I decided to give EI22 one last chance and try your ROM and man, all I can say is I am VERY glad I tried it because it has been by far the absolute best!! Fast, reliable and still maintains fun features to mess with. I have had so much success with this ROM and its updates that I also just switched both of my kids phones over to your ROM also and they are loving it too. We are all in the process of trying to get my wife to let me change her phone from EC05 to your EI22 ROM but I think she is still pissed about the dramma and non working phone with the other EI22 ROMs that I put on her phone previously...but I am not giving up on convincing her to letting me change her phone one last time though....LOLOLOL

Anyways, long story short my friend, YOU ROCK, YOU DO PHENOMENAL WORK and YOUR ROM IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO GIVING US THE BEST EI22 ROM!!!

Cheers my friend!!

Have you tried Go Keyboard instead of Swype? It has there's same swiping as Swype.

Edit: BTW love the rom its been a stable daily so far, about to try a clean install of the newest update.

Marriage is a constant struggle for moral superiority... glad i could give you some ammo! haha :D

thanks for the kind words! there are a few latent issues that affect a few people still to iron out but those will soon be fixed - keep an eye out!

Let me know how the changes feel going from a previous version to the latest should be improvements all around!

I'm giving Go Keyboard a test drive, it's VERY feature packed, which may be it's undoing for me (i'm usually skittish trying out keyboards since they have direct access to everything you type with them, obviously) but it's really nice and i like the fact that it has a swipe type entry... i've been finding that it tends to pick the correct word when swiping around BUT adds an apostrophe S ('s) to a lot of things, not sure if that's just me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bchalker:
my feelings exactly
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Thanks for the very informative post! Now here's the weird thing. I fired up the Compass app while at work this morning. It's dead on. Dishpointer Pro works fine too. Weird! <shrug>
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like I'll have to re-flash it after an update, right?

One question (since it's difficult to search while on the mobile app): is the Wireless Hotspot app functioning as a "free app" - not something I have to pay Sprint to use?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
After a full rom flash (fat or slim), swype will put itself back into data, it should retain your settings, but you'll have to flash your swype back into it.

As the mod goes, typically, when it's modded it is called Wireless Hotspot as opposed to Sprint Hotspot. (RandomKing's Thuderhawk ROM retains the Sprint label on the hotspot but is also modded and has a different icon).

Mic On.. Buzzing/humming sounds

Hi I installed SleeperROM after 3x wipe and I noticed a buzzing/humming high pitched sound. It seems like the mic is always on.. is there a fix for this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
do you mean while the phone's screen is off or during a call or just ALWAYS, always... i haven't experienced this nor have i heard any other reports of a speaker emitting any kind of noise that it shouldn't... i'd say it might be an app but you said it's after a wipe. and i'm assuming nothing else was flashed into it after the wipe - and that you haven't been running a high clock speed for excessive periods (which can damage your phone)

I'd like for you to definitely try my ROM, but i must ask, have you tried other roms, and if not, please try another and see if this problem persists... if you could, report back if this problem only occurs with my ROM, though this is the first i've heard of this particular issue, i picked up my phone to be sure.. it's cool to the touch, absolutely quiet, and after 7 hours off charge i'm at 95% battery - these are the results you should have with this rom.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
awesome rom, my friend. im flashing this now. i just tried ACS ICS and to be honest, i wasnt impressed... at all. i did like the messaging app tho..

anyways if you want ill leave you my opinion? although its nothing to be valued hah.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Not often do we see such modesty. I'm impressed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
amazing.

thanks man. I love this community.

================================

Sensei...

* Kevin Bows..

your rom is sweet!

i like how simple it is and i like the theming you did to it to keep it classy and almost stock.

there are some apps in this rom that i didnt even knew existed.. and im gonna have to use them lol. like the tasks one and the write and go..

i did notice that on any rom with the CWM redirect in the power menu, it doesnt redirect, it just reboots.. it happens on mine, acs, starsky, and sleeper.

im not concerned about it tho. the option to reboot is enough for me. i love that it comes with adw, and the idea of a slim rom is always a plus.

oh and i got a 2953 on benchmark.. with all my apps loaded and everything. thats the highest ive ever had.

thanks for your awesome contribution to this amazing epic community. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Thanks! I appreciate the input and kind words and especially an honor coming from you - prior to EI22 hurricane was my daily driver - i hadn't made the connection until recently who was involved, so we won't have any groveling round here today!

i felt i owed it to the community to share the setup i'd come to use personally and with all the input it's been honed well so i will start by saying THANKS EVERYONE FOR PUSHING ALONG THE DEVELOPMENT! My phone is now reliable enough for trips (it's let me down severely in the past while running custom roms). But there's still more to improve upon so it's not stopping there.

I've been amused by the amount of work it's taken to make it completely stock looking while having all of the mods work together in joyous harmony - so much work to make it look so standard haha but i always thought the stock looked nice and professional... i wouldn't rule out some flashable color themes based on the current look.. but i do want it to all remain consistent we seriously need a theming engine at least for rooted phones.

about the CWM option in the power dialog, what version of CWM are you running? i'm running 3.1.0.1 purple (and the samurai 1.0.4 kernel as it is in the rom) and it works ok, also running the same 1.0.05 sleeper that's up now... if you are too i'll definitely give it a second look, otherwise it's possible something has changed in cwm from a previous version, or a kernel issue since we're all using a nubernel or a variation of...

[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
i haven't experienced this, it should show the default sound picker with radio buttons and all the sounds, and if you want your own custom ringtones, you should be able to put them on your sd card and they show up in the picker.

the default gallery app (Gallery3d) is not included, but is available as an attachment somewhere in this thread, as far as quickpic, it comes installed but needs a market update before you can use it.

HAHA glad to have people like you to brag for me!! i almost feel like i'm gonna have to release a bad version (think NEW Coca Cola vs Coca Cola Classic) to stimulate non-praise discussion! jk jk

i'm gonna keep it up so keep your eyes peeled!

Swype

Thanks for the response on my Swype issues, of course I wiped Swype off of my phone and signed up for the beta program before checking back here, so now I have the older version but at least it works :o

I was also wondering if the camera 15% battery mods would work on this ROM? Here's a link, I think konane hooked it up: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12533652&postcount=52 in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=816529

oOOOo NICE! Thanks for the tute and the great review!! adding it to OP now

i noticed you avoided the Nyan song haha man i love that song, i can just listen to it for like 30 minutes straight... but no more than that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
ah thanks! i remember those mods but forgot about them recently, i definitely had them flashed at the time - and now, consider it done! will be in the next version - i wouldn't flash those because they'll break something or at the least give you outdated versions of apps (including the camera)
[Epic 4G Android Development] B5Z:
First of all, awesome ROM! I've flashed them all & this one is currently my favorite.

I do have a question though...since coming from v1.0.04 I haven't been able to customize my dock icons when using Launcher Pro (or) Go Launcher EX??? Is this a known issue with these launchers recently or is there something that you did with this latest release that could be causing this (i.e. gallery being removed)? I've tried flashing both the fat & slim versions, but no luck.

My apologies if this has been mentioned already. I did do a search but I didn't see anything mentioned. Keep up the great work!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
if the icons you're using to customize are separate files then indeed, the gallery is the default browser.

Try going to market, search for quickpic. it should show as installed with an update available. update it and then see if that solves the problem by providing a picture browser.

that's the only thing i can currently think of, aside from that, the launchers shouldn't be able to interfere with each other. maybe try backing up data for the launcher you're trying to use and then clearing the data... let me know if that helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
Yea the ringtone and notification lists aren't populated in the tone picker settings section...

Ill try the other Gallery app
[Epic 4G Android Development] B5Z:
You da' man... updating quickpic did the trick! I saw that you mentioned updating quickpic before but didn't do it yet & didn't even think that that would have anything to do with it?!

Thanks again bro!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kk9110:
Hi SenseiSimple, Thank you for the ideas. I was successfully able to get rid of the sound by just disabling the Keypad tones. This ROM is awesome batt standby is by far the best i have seen on the Epic. Keep up the good work!..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I use the ACS Recovery version of CWM [1.0.0.5] and it works just fine with the CWM recovery power menu mod.

I started using it just before EI22 came out, and it's worked on every ROM I've tried that had the option... except one, and I don't remember which one it was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Same here. Works with ACS Recovery just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ghostlegion7:
loving this rom to death, great battery! everything works that i use so far...no crashes at all. only thing id like to see is a different lock screen or theme options sometime.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Namorbrowneyes:
I agree, anyone looking for a rom that is simple and clean with great battery life should get this. No need to mess with voltages or anything. lockscreen mod would be perfect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chkchkboom:
Hey sensei....was wondering how difficult a red battery and red overscroll would be to do. I should probably learn how to do this myself sometime soon.

In actuality just a red and gray battery would be sufficient, but the red overscroll would be icing on the cake...no rush ofcourse...just a request.

Happy Hollidays
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
working on a few theme packs that preserve my combination of mods (just the main ui) that you may be interested in since everything seems pretty stable - specifically tailored for night viewing.

Stay tuned!
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I believe it will mess with some features, i'm not sure what it customizes specifically.

Haven't tried Adrenaline v13, but this rom has a modded build.prop by v6_Supercharger for memory and launcher priority, i'm not sure if they will interfere with each other

Thanks! we're all waiting on the lockscreen mod to be ported, before serious theme work begins. But i will be releasing some themes (UI) for Sleeper over the next few days (yes, even over the holiday!)
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
My Simple Review

I've been running SleeperRom for a few days now. I've gotta say I really like it!

So far I haven't seen a single FC, it has remained quick & responsive even after all my apps have been installed, and I can run WidgetLocker without any wake lag whatsoever! Wake lag with WidgetLocker had always been an issue for me with any other ROM - it didn't matter if it was Eclair, Froyo, or Gingerbread.

I like ADW Launcher and am very happy that SenseiSimple included it in this ROM. Furthermore, I couldn't be happier that he didn't include the latest standalone version (1.3.6) - apparently, the version included (1.3.3) is the last one that "auto closes" the app drawer after you choose your desired application. So, thank you for that Sensei - the little things make a big difference!

All things considered, I couldn't be happier with this ROM as it is. It would make my day if a red/black theme was made available - like Overstew's ObsidianRed for EC05. :cool:

I'll be sticking with this one for a while.... :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Thanks! After certain changes to adw, i just finally had to break down and pay for EX (for the customizability), it was worth it, i think, since they seemed to be pushing you in that direction anyway, but glad you noticed!

There will be theming!

2900 downloads (±150) and counting since Nov. 15th!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
The EX version of ADW allows the "auto closing" of the app drawer I mentioned? If so, I might just break down and pay for it myself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Loving Agile Lock right now, but it does cause the home screen to lag out a little after unlocking, someone mentioned widget locker doesn't cause this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
i think that's what you're talking about, when you have the app drawer open, click an app, the drawer goes away... it does indeed have that option... in fact it has SO many options you might be hard pressed to try them all in the 15 minutes google gives you to try the app before requesting a refund... but all in all, i found it totally worth while after having been partial to Launcher Pro (which does have a slight advantage in its built in widgets) and GoLauncher... ADW EX wins for customization and stability hands down. LOL didn't mean that to sound like a sales pitch...

My launcher swipe up gesture is actually to open the app drawer... to match the swipe down for the status (since i hate having to click the little app drawer button to get to the apps)

so with the default theme for EX, my main dock has the icons for

Browser | Messaging | Phone | Maps | Camera

for fast access to the main features of the phone.
