yea i had my phone overclocked and undervolted, and had a profile setting for when screen is off to use powersave at 100mhz max...with those setting if the call came in when the screens off i cannot answer it, there is just a black screen. i reverted all voltage changes back to normal and took off the screen off profile and when a call comes in it still lags alot when i answer. the call pops up and i go to slide the number upwards to answer and noting happens for like 2-3 seconds, then it will finally answer. do you know any other answering screens that can be flashed, like and aosp one or something? or do you think that it has nothing to do with the problem that the problem has to do with lag and not the answer screen?

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] mad1111:
Which app are you using to change your voltages (voltage control, setCPU, etc?)

Try Voltage Control (if you aren't using it already) and set your I/O Scheduler to "NOOP" and your CPU Governor to "OnDemand"

That should help with your lag issue

What kernel are you running?
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
im using set cpu, ill try what you said. thanks

I flashed this ROM last night and it seems to be working very well, as RandomROMs usually do. HOWEVER, the colors seem off? Like there's a dusty gold type tinge to everything. I really like the ROM and would hate to switch to something else so soon, but it's driving me nuts. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Use the voodoo control app to tweak the screen settings to your liking.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mad1111:
I know setCPU can cause issues like you are describing (depending on the kernel) especiallly when setting profiles and such.

Let me know if this helped
[Epic 4G Android Development] adoniscomplex87:
Much obliged. Just needed moar blue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
No problem. Glad you got it dialed in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
hey Random, I just flashed and ICS theme over your rom, but i was wondering if you had the TH 3.3 boot animation and tarnsparent mms flashable zips, since i like yours over this theme.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
If you still have the rom on your sd card or cpu just open it up and take them from there...
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
where would i find the themeing for the mms app and the boot animation?

because it does not look like there any .zip files i can just pull out and flash for these
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hasseo:
This is kind of a dumb-ish question, but I can't seem to find an answer... >_<

So, if I do a superfreeze, will this disable Gmail's like "auto-update" thing?

If it does, is there a way around it other than just manually checking?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ebroker:
RandomKing - any chance of gettin that Font. (Even if I had the name/type - might be able to find it somewhere). I've tried an number of avail fonts and found some close, but they've generally caused text-wrapping issues cuz diff avail sizes/scaling etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
You can try this CWM Stock Fonts file that I keep on my SD card. I use it if I flash a ROM and don't particularly like the supplied font. It's CWM flashable. Nand & give it a shot... :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
The font you are looking for is at the bottom of the op now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Text patches are available in the op as attachments.

You can only disable Gmail by turning off googles auto-sync. Superfreeze disbles drm, sns, and sprint updates.

The mms.apk is in the rom .zip under /system/app and the boot animation is sanim under /system/media.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hasseo:
Well thank you very much Random! Definitely can't wait to try out this ROM :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
this is probably a dumb question, but what is drm and sns?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Drm is the protection on certain mp3s, movies, and rentals. Whether you have any or not (I don't), android runs the service in the background. Sns works for things like integrating facebook contacts.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ebroker:
Sorry (newb question)... but that went over my head... I know the .cfg file can be edited if thats what you are referencing, but I'm looking for the actual font file and/or name of the font thats shown in the 3.2/3.3 screenshots so I can search for it.

Is it somewhere on your site? And when I flash the 3.3 blue or green theme, I don't get the font shown in the screen shots .
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Op = original post, as in the very first post in this thread. Look at the very bottom of post #1 and you will find 2 font files there.

D'oh! Got it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
Yea my android system takes between 60-70% usually with cell standyby at 20% and everything else below 10%. Are these values normal? What could I do to lower the android system battery usage? I did super freeze, anything else?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] phdeez:
I just had to post this screenshot... Random, you are absolutely right- if you want something to just sip battery, this is it. After ~9hrs today I had only used ~6 batt (stock batt, from 12/10, more than a yr old in a low signal area). After I got home I swithched on wifi and now more than 12hrs since pulling it off the charger, I'm at 83%!

Thanks RK!
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
Hey random, I was reading your battery saving tips and saw that u said not to use auto kill. I'm currently using advance task killer with auto kill every 30 minutes set on crazy. Why do u recommend not using auto kill?
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Because the constant opening and closing of these apps can cause more battery loss than the idle apps themselves.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
Not sure I'm comfortable with covering this to MTD, do you think you could hook a brother up? I miss this ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] naenyc:
Apps2sd and /cache

What is the proper method for apps2sd in this build?

On the Moment, it basically boiled down to a line in /etc/install-recovery.sh

mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

There no longer seems to be such a hook.

Likewise, moving things to the /cache with a symbolic link is no longer viable?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Damn, I just had two reboots in the past hour. Not sure what is happening. Been running 3.3 for awhile with no major recent changes. Been on ShadowKernal 1.04+ for awhile.

Update: 3 times.... Might have to do a reflash :(

My battery was full but I am trying a different battery now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSLVRNBLK:
Help!! How do i get the Lock options? Im running 3.3 already but I dont have the lock screens.. Do I just flash the 9-lock theme?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] cache83:
WOW

i LOVE this ROM... hands down probably the best I've used!!

RandomKing I love your attention to detail with the theming, etc. NIIIICEE!!

my only issue with this rom is that i have a ***load of duplicated contacts -- like they're not syncing up btwn facebook/google contacts... but also some google contacts are repeated like 5x it seems. does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
That's exactly what you do.

A Heads Up!

Most of you are probably unaware, but for the past several months, I've been working in a temporary position with no future and no challenge. As such, I've used downtime at work to enhance my Android development time and alleviate boredom. However, as of yesterday, I've accepted a new permanent position with a different company. This should mean (hopefully) less downtime and more meaningful work for me (not to mention pay, benefits, etc.)! Our first child is also due in March, so this couldn't come at a better time. All this combined, means that less time will be spent on my part in developing Android roms.

Don't worry though, I'm just the guy that puts the whole package together and optimizes it for best performance and appearance... the real creative development is still beyond me (k0nane, mkasick, senseisimple, kernel developers, loads of others you well know).

That said, I will

NOT

be abandoning my development. Only slowing it. Note the following:

I will not be selling my Epic for the meager $100 or so I may get for it, it's worth more to me.

I will still be updating my Roms and posting new things I create, it's my hobby right now.

Anyone with a Sprint Galaxy Tab (the 7 incher) knows that I've forayed into development there, as well, now. I'm also in the process of modifying and loading CyanogenMod onto my HP Touchpad. Although I probably won't be releasing any roms for the latter, sorry.

My focuses right now are:

Sprint Galaxy Tab 7" Development

Understanding and Refining ThunderHawk 3.4 MTD

So what you should take away from this is that I am not leaving, but I won't be updating things as often. I will still answer questions on the go, I can't help myself sometimes. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
Good luck with the new position & the baby! It must be an exciting time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] naenyc:
Second that

Always good to have full-time job ... congrats.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Awesome! I don't think anyone here would fault you! Congrats on both counts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Congrats Random on the job! Can you share the type of job it is ? Android related???

I'm looking forward to 3.4. Hopefully that will be the last rom needed to carry my Epic til the end of its life with me. I have to say though that the Epic is the first phone that I have owned that I have been happy to keep the full 22 months before my next eligible upgrade! I mean I still have like 8 months left but not even looking to see whats on the horizon as as far as new phones.

I think my reboots last night might have been battery related. I have a Samsung branded battery that I bought on Amazon 3rd party - which means it could be counterfeit. Today I put in my generic extended battery that I had bought on ebay awhile ago and no reboots all day. I am going to switch back and see if the reboots start again.

Can someone tell me if I have the correct roaming settings checked? I want my phone to be able to roam locally without warning me, I believe this means it can go onto Verizon's CDMA network and I am pretty sure they have a deal with Sprint where the customer will not get charged if this happens. Of course I want to be warned if I roam internationally which is only relevant if I am travelling.

Roaming Settings - both Voice & Data are checked, International both are unchecked

Roaming Guard -is opposite, Domestic unchecked & International checked
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Very glad to hear the great news! Wishing you and your family all the best.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Det0natoR:
Congrats Random! I'm sure you will have your hands quite full in the near future, and no one here can blame you for slowing your progress here. Good luck!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Nope, nobody pays me for Android work (donations excluded, thank you all!).

I'm an engineer! :D

Thanks everyone for your support!

Under Roaming, under Domestic, check Voice and Data.

This enables roaming.

Under Roaming Guard, under Domestic, uncheck Voice and Data.

This disables a roaming notification.

This works for me flawlessly with my Roam Control apk. :cool:

[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
I've been having a lot of trouble lately with both the 4g and wifi saying they are connected but nothing is actually able to access the internet. somewhat related i also noticed that when i lose the 4g signal that it doesnt then switch to 3g unless i disable 4g completely. i've tried multiple kernels and nothing changed. also tried updating prl and profile. anybody else having a similar issue or have any ideas what i can do to fix this? its getting to the point where i am getting so annoyed with having to restart all the time to get it working- even though i would rather not switch to another Rom, i might need to just to have consistent internet access.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I've seen this issue once or twice. Usually just disabling and reenabling the service itself, either wifi or 4g, fixed the issue for me. Interestingly, it only seemed to happen with Dolphin. If I opened the regular browser while I was having the issue, it was able to connect and browse just fine even while repeated attempts in Dolphin did not work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic_image:
+1

I too have this.

Just a restart makes everything fine, but it does get tiresome.

I was told it might be a modem thing but I want to know if this is ROM related tho. I only have tried this ROM so far on EI22.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Only one way to be sure, try another ROM. I can't test it myself, I have no 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Trying the 4G stuff

I have just switched over to 4G, I am able to browse market without any issues, I will let me phone sit for a while and try going to Wifi and then back to 3G. I'll report back in about 1/2 hr.

EDIT: ok here is what I have been doing, I let it sit for like 10 min. I used my phone using the dolphin browser. I was getting data; both the 4G icon and 3G icons were on, 3G showing that it was doing the data (the arrows would light up).

I kept doing this; 4G wouldn't even try to connect. It just sat there, not even showing the zzzz graphic.

alright so it is suffiently acting up; I turn on wifi, now all 3 icons are displayed. Wifi doesn't do anything. I can still use data though, 3G icon is still there and is working. Then about 2 minutes later, the list of wifi networks is displayed to connect to (obviously wifi isn't working) my wireless network is displayed but says disabled, so I click it. it says obtaining, remembered, disabled. Wifi won't connect.

Now no data works.

So I reboot; when my phone comes back up. Wifi is connected and working, i turn off wifi and 4G turns on and connects. I turn that off and 3G comes back.

I can confirm that this is happening.

I hope this helps; I took screen shots during this process if you would find them helpful. I also have aLogcat and I can grab some logs as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I was able to recreate this issue the other day as well. I am on a manually converted mtd version of 3.3 with shadow mtd tw v0.4. I am a heavy wifi user, but rarely come into a 4g coverage area. When I connected to 4g I had no data, and it would not fall back on 3g. Looking in 4g settings my ip, gateway, and dns were all reading 0.0.0.0. I rebooted with 4g and wifi off, connected to 4g, and had proper ip, gateway, and dns, and was able to use net functions.

When I got home later my wifi connected but would not function. My wifi allways connects without issue. Another reboot with 4g and wifi off fixed it. I have never had an issue with this before, mainly using only 3g and wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic_image:
to the people who also are experiencing the 4G -wifi issues, have you guys tried any other ROMS and experienced this same issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
I did not have this trouble with other roms in the past. I am flashing legendary rom now to doublecheck and will see if it has the same problem. As much as this was happening before I should know for sure by later today or tomorrow morning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic_image:
great! looking to hear back from you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
having serious shutoff issues.... thinking might be hardware related

tried reflashing but didnt help
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
So I switched to Legendary Rom about 24 hours ago and have not had any of the wifi or 4g issues i was having with this rom. hope you can figure out what is causing the problems in this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Have you tried switching kernels? Before declaring it on the rom.

As an aside, I have no problems with Wifi. But I have no way of testing 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Flashed this rom and no wifi or 4g issues... I did install a different kernel after flashing so its probably the kernel... what kernel does this rom have out of the box so I can flash and test?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Shadow Kernel 1.0.3.

To users having troubles:

Please describe your 4G/Wifi issues.

What kernel are you using, and do others yield the same problem?

What modem are you using, and do others yield the same problem?

I am using Shadow 1.0.4 with the EC05 modem with no wifi issues. I also have no available 4G with which to test, so that affects my ability to see this problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
tried multiple kernels. same problem on all of them.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

issue: 4g will show its connected but apps, browser, etc arent actually able to access internet. same problem on wifi. also noticed when i lose 4g signal it doesnt switch to 3g unless i disable 4g completely.

i was using shadow kernel 1.0.4 with ei22 modem. then tried samurai, shadow 1.0.5 and 1.0.6, and one other one that i cant remember at the moment.

like i said in previous post- i switched to legendary rom but kept modem and kernel the same and i no longer have this issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
So my understanding, is that 4G alone is the problem, and can sometimes affect the Wifi afterwards?
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic_image:
I too have tried different kernels too. I have the exact issue Dave is having. I don't know if 4G is to blame or not. But here is what I'm experiencing. At home I use wifi and at work I connect to 4G. So wifi connected when at home and I leave my house to go to work and try to connect to 4G. It connects but no data connection. I restart phone 4g works again.. now I go home and connect to wifi. Wifi have no data connection until I restart phone. So I would have to restart once in the day and night for my connections to work. EI22 modem and shadow 1.06 kernel at the moment. Hope this help. Like I said this is the only ROM I tried so far on EI22. Just love your work on phoenix and decided to stay with your work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
That is exactly what i am experiencing except we have wifi at work so I experience the problem even more since i'm switching back and forth more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Hm. Well the only change I made any where near 4G functionality was in patching the hotspot feature... I'll double check that the coding took properly in the latest version.

On the bright side, I've finished converting the rom to MTD and it performs flawlessly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
1. described in previous post, highlites; it seems be an issue after my phone has been running for a few days. after a reboot everything runs just fine.

2. Shadow 1.0.4+ OC (running setCPU 200-1000)

3. EI22

I'll flash either Samuari or KernelSanders and run it for a while to compare.
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
1. Wifi connects to AP's, and I can type in my router IP and access it, but cannot access internet. Messed with DNS settings on routers, didn't help. After reboots it works fine, not sure when it cuts out exactly. Seems like a DNS issue, as entering a website IP works. For example I can enter http://74.125.224.72 and it takes me to google while on wifi, but I cannot go to google.com

2. Shadow kernel 1.0.4, not sure

3. EI22, not sure

My 4g works good, last night I tethered my laptop to a hot 4G connection and streamed netflix without issue. 3G is also good.

Last week I was on cleanGB, not sure what kernel he uses, but he's on EI22 as well and didn't see any issues. Hope it's something simple!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I'm using a different ROM right now... but my issues were the same and I'll throw my $0.02 in here.

I was having the same issues that others were describing with switching in/out of 4G after having previously used WiFi. Looked like it connected but didn't. Happened on every ROM I tried after installing ShadowKernel 1.0.3-.04 (never tried .05). Those ROMS that had 1.0.2 as default worked. And now, I've been using CleanGB [BML1.0.3] with SK1.0.6 for a few days and haven't seen the issue. I'm not convinced this is the right combination yet, as sometimes the symptoms didn't show up for 2-3 days, but so far, it's looking good.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that I've been using the EI22 modem the entire time (since it was released).
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
Played with it some this morning since I have 4g at work. I ran the following tests... power cycled my phone before bed, turned on wifi and left it on, connected to my home gateway. Turned wifi off and went to work, turned wifi on and connected to wifi at work, all functioning normally. Turned on 4g, status shows connected, but if you click sprint it shows no IP and no DNS info, internet doesn't work, and the connection goes to sleep. Going back to wifi works fine, connects, everything works.

Rebooting the phone, I am able to connect to 4g and get IP/DNS, internet works, everything is great. Turning it off and switching to wifi, it connects fine, internet works, etc, the way it's supposed to always work.

This weekend I had power cycled the phone to use 4g at my girlfriends house, and had left it on for an extended period sunday (streaming netflix tethered with the sprint app), and had noticed monday I couldn't get the internet to work through wifi without a quick reboot.

It must be something that happens when the phone is sleeping that is messing things up somewhere, at least for me. I will leave 4g on and let the phone sleep and see if that breaks the wifi, and vice versa. On a side note, this is hands down still my favorite ROM. Great work man, may I ask why you did away with the samsung music player though? I do like the one you replaced it with but was there any major reason?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I generally prefer the miui music app for simplicity, and I removed the samsung one, as well as an assortment of other apks to conserve the maximum space for downloaded apks.

With the upcoming conversion to MTD, this is no longer as big an issue and I may release a zip containing the least "evil" apks I've removed up til this point.

-Sent from my Random Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
The only thing I do not like about the miui music app is that it does not see my playlists.

So my phone has been shutting off (not rebooting) randomly or maybe not so randomly. No pun intended =) At first I thought it was software related, then I thought it was battery related, now I am suspecting it could be hardware related.

It sometimes shuts off without me doing anything to the phone but sometimes closing the slider makes it shut off. I am thinking there is a loose connection between the battery and the phone and that the physical movement of the slider forces the issue. Hopefully later I will have a chance to odin back to stock and if I can reproduce the shut off on stock I will go to Sprint store tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
So for anyone that cares, rearranging the scrollable toggles does not work properly. Unless you flash the green theme, then its fine. Turns out its an image problem in the framework of the blue theme... very surprising. The perfectionist in me has almost isolated it. 3.4 MTD coming soon.
