VeNum, as you know I really like and appreciate your work but I have noticed a problem (I may be the culprit or I may not.)

When I initially flashed this ROM coming from StrongSteve's rom I had some trouble. I flashed it and had trouble getting past the boot screen. I ripped the battery and tried again...and again...and again. Finally, your rom finally stuck and I was able to boot up. Once I got it to boot up and I haven't had any issues at all.

Like an hour ago I flashed the VeNum theme (w/o creating a nandroid...dumb move) and had the same experience as when I flashed your ROM. It goes through the boot animation and then the phone just turns off. After multiple tries I just gave up and did a clean wipe.

Tried to reinstall the VeNum rom and after multiple tries didn't work. Redownloaded and it didn't work. After a couple tries it went through. Same for the theme.

Point of the story is that I think it may be a good idea to double check the ZIPs for the ROM and VeNum theme. Like I said, it may just be myself who is having trouble flashing these and I may very well be screwing something up along the way but I figured I would share my experience with you and others.

Thanks for your work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Alright man... I'll check it... sorry for the problems... Since I moved over to doing roms I've neglected the themes (and to be honest I just wanna get out of theming and stay in rom building). But I'll try and fix it... Just hang in with me bro...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Thanks man. Hopefully if someone else experiences a similar situation they made a nandroid before hand and if they didn't they should not jump the gun and do a full wipe. Just keep trying to restart your phone and hopefully it will stick eventually.

Adding LEAN ROM (uploading now) fast, with 50mb less junk. Version 1b Rom (bluetooth fixed, I hope)...

PS: Lean is Live so is new 1b version
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ricoroadstar:
Any chance of adding torch in drop.down?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I'm playing with it... but its not going well... :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ricoroadstar:
Hey bro I appreciate the try!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I'll get it... at least as a mod...

I'm.having a weird issue. My storage on my device says I have 1.39GB left. But when I go to just update apps it says error, insufficient space. Anyone else have this?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kwan:
Can we flash the bluetooth fix rom over the first version without a full wipe?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I would like to know if the bluetooth fix will auto wipe all my apps and data.

I hope not, would like to flash over without erasing anything...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
so, 1b is basically a BT fix?

I haven't had a single BT issue on 1a, so I guess there is no reason to update, correct?

thanks

Omg! Alarm doesn't work!!!!! I'm late for work! Says it's snoozing?!? And just a sec ago the screen came up an hour late?! What is goin on with this rom? I just installed lean overprevious version last night. Hope can someone test alarm to verify? I just tried again now to test and it worked but def messed up twice this morning(i set 2 alarms always)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Yes that's correct... if you're happy with 1a performance then there's no reason to change. And yes lean is wipe and format.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
Nope, that doesn't work in this situation. That was the first thing I tried.

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

oh.. maybe xlGmanlx's post wasn't aimed at me.. I didn't have Launcher Pro.

But clarification, your rom script does not wipe data automatically, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
My apologies slesh. I deleted most audio so the user could put what they want on the phone. The alarm works but you must activate a ringtone manually...

OP updated with this info...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
It does wipes data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Where do I activate the alarm notification besides the "set alarm" page? I made sure there was a ringtone selected and it still goes off silently? thx for the response venum
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Ooohhh, I got it. The list of sounds in the alarm just aren't on the phone anymore. I I didn't think they would still show up if they weren't available to play. The so I have to just load a custom sound then huh? thx venum
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BIGCOIN:
Venum, is there a way to offer your update with just the fixes and nothing removed? There are alot of us that like the origianl release of this rom and dont want to update just to have things removed that we have to add back in. Let the people that dont like the installed apps remove them on their own. I for one will not update the original rom just for a bluetooth fix and have to sit here for another 20 minutes reinstalling everything thats taken out. My phone is perfect with your original rom and would appreciate it if we can have the option to just update the rom with just the fixes. Maybe you can offer two updates? 1 for the people that just want updates for the bug fixes and improvements and another for those that like everything removed. Just food for thought. Thanks for taking the time to read this and consideration in advance and thanks for the hard work you put into this rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
That's correct. Once again I apologize... it wouldn't be cool to get fired because of an idiot developer/mad scientist on xda...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Yes I plan on doing it big, it was late and I just didn't get the update zip done... I'll try and get it posted up this weekend...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BIGCOIN:
You are so awesome sir! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you being able to do that. This by far the best and most stable rom I have installed on my phone and I still have not experienced one LOS so I definitly think you found something to fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
Yay.. I fixed the lockscreen loop from my original foobar. So I didn't lose any data.

After I got stuck on the lock screen the other night, I had backed up the /data in CWM. So I restored it, was stuck again at the lockscreen.

To fix it, I booted up normally and while on the lock screen, i did an adb shell and deleted all instances of ADW Launcher that was installed, leaving it with only TouchWiz. Then rebooted the phone and was able to unlock it again and use the phone normally.

(Optional step)

Once the phone was working again, I installed ADW Launcher Ex and made sure one of them was set to default (TW), and can use home switcher to switch between them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 808prettyboy808:
is there a gps fix coming in the next release???By the way love this rom:D..Keep up the great work Venum..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Thank you Euclid for posting your fix for others to see... For the the next release I'm going to do away with ADW... Hopefully that will do away with these issues...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Hey thank you... I was unaware there was a gps issue... What exactly is going on??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrlswltrs:
I have tested a couple different ROMs and I always seem to get a very weak GPS lock that takes a long time. This fixes the issue: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19655131&postcount=16

BTW... Been using this Rom for a couple of days and I love it! Haven't had any issues, super fast and stable. Awesome job!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Thank you very much sir... to be honest I don't even use GPS anymore lol. But having said that, if it works I will definetly add it to the rom when I do an update... Thank you for pointing me there...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 808prettyboy808:

When i use any application such as google maps or speed test my gps will never find my location..Its like there is no gps at all..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Saw this last night - but I cycled the GPS (turned it on/off) and it caught almost immediately
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 808prettyboy808:
I did cycle the gps and still same problem..If i go into settings and use wireless networks for location that works but if i use gps all by its self on google maps it says unable to find your location i even cleared data for google maps still no luck..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
For those having the issue after flashing this where on booting the lockscreen comes up but the touchscreen is non-responsive and then the screen goes blank and does a hot reboot.... Here's what I found.

I had a perfectly working phone with VeNuM RL1a - and decided to apply the RL1b. After flashing it did it's normal boot - and then I had the same old consistent hot reboot loop. After trying a few things, and not wanting to wipe data, it hit me that I had ADW EX already installed. So I did the following:

1. Connected my phone (while it was in hot reboot loop) and did:

2. Miraculously everything popped up golden after a reboot. I reinstalled ADW EX and all my settings were there because I hadn't deleted the corresponding settings for the app. And everything still works.

I have been troubleshooting this with VeNuM so we'll see if we can get to the bottom of it.

GPS works perfectly for me once I reset the GPS data. Just download one of a thousand apps, reset the GPS data... Perfect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 808prettyboy808:
I been searching around the market but no luck to reset gps data..Can you possibly name a few apps that has this option..Thanks..

Awesome rom/theme man, diggin the lean version too. I like my ladies like I like my roms. Lean and quiet.

I am pretty sure for example if you have telnav gps and uninstill it and do a fresh download and reinstal it will automatically re-initialize.

Just updated the ROM but not with the lean version and updated my rogue outlaw kernel to the rogue desperado kernel and this is the quadrant I got as soon as the phone rebooted....very nice Venom, you are the man and you have an awesome team, thanks for the ROM...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Thank you sir we try...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 808prettyboy808:
Never mind found out i had a bad flash!! I just reflashed the rom without wiping anything and everything works great..Thanks..

To show how good you are here is my current setup and quadrant score

I'm having an issue trying to calibrate the gyro sensor...it doesn't work like 4 example when playing asphalt 6 car never steers left or right...tried to calibrate it through menu and the blue ball doesn't turn when u turn phone....how do I fix this and anyone else with this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad--Dog:
i was reading in the team venum battery saver script thread how to disable pm disable com.sec.android.providers.drm(DRM)

pm disable com.sec.android.socialhub(SOCIALHUB)

pm disable com.samsung(SYSTEM UPDATES)

pm disable com.sdgtl.mediahub.spr(MEDIAHUB)

to save battery, im running the updated venom lean and dont see any of these running to begin with have they already been removed or am i missing something? thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
These scripts are a seperate thread and are not included in Epic Venum right now... Sorry about any confusion...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad--Dog:
no its not a problem i dont use any of those apps that use those processes anyway, well at least not the socialhub and mediahub, im just wondering if they are in there trying to connect even though i dont have those programs installed.... sorry if im not explaining this well, thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I think Social Hub can open and run on its own
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad--Dog:
right but in the lean rom socialhub is not installed, so would the process that the superfreeze battery script is trying to freeze, even start in the first place if that particular program is not installed, thanked you both btw
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Naw since its not there it won't run...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigfdaddy:
Anything for the gyro issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Yes... after pretty much about bricking my phone trying to replicate your vague complaint I've come to the conclusion that this is not really a problem and you have a bad download...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Ok besides Blue tooth (which I've added a fix for), this rom is pretty solid... Most problems are user error and I've become tiresome of answering user error or ignorance (stuff outta the book that came with your phone, YOU SHOULD HAVE READ IT). I've tried to be helpful but it's at this point I waste most of my time trying to figure out user error... If you have an honest issue from here on out please supply the modem #, kernel, and what caused the incident. Then I will answer or investigate. For those of you who can or have read and are knowledgeable thank you... I appreciate you helping the lessors....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
yep, that's exactly how i fixed mine a few posts above. Keep in mind that some users who may or may not have experimented with other launchers (Launcher Pro), may have hit this issue too. The trick is to make sure you remove ALL launchers except one. Perferably TouchWiz, since it's in /system. But I'd imagine you could delete TouchWiz and keep another launcher and it would still get past this glitch.

I doubt if this issue is soley on this ROM. When I get time, I'll try to replicate it on other ROMs, including stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Thanks Euclid for another productive post... I'm going to do away with all launchers except the TW launcher for this very reason... Thank you...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am surprised you went back and did troubleshooting for each issue ...hats off to you sir
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
It was in a drunkin stupor....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
added the theme in mods...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
Well bro--as much as I love this ROM, I simply can't use it. I've tried everything from a completely fresh wipe to just a dalvik/cache wipe. It seems no matter what I do once I get it flashed, as soon as I install my apps and run scripts/apps, it starts and the signal bars are X'd out and it keeps boot looping. I tried each app one by one to see if I could narrow it down but I couldn't. I have to give up and try it again perhaps if you do another update.

It's really a shame since this ROM is definitely pimp! At least I'll be using your black theme for whichever ROM I choose to run until I can get back on yours. Keep up the good work.

Regards,

rast4man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Sorry to hear that Rast. Even the lean rom is like that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
Are you installing any alternate launchers? ie.. ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, etc? have you tried what jerdog and I suggested about deleting all launchers except TW? That bootloop you describe is exactly what happens when there's multiple launchers installed and none are marked as default.

A list of apps that you are installing could be helpful to figure out what's conflicting. I was able to fix my bootloop issue like this by deleting the AWD launcher that was installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dreDrennon1:
I run a quadrant at least once a day for the first few days I run a ROM because it takes tome to settle out all of the kinks well I think they are gone I have been running the same setup from day one just updated the ROM and kernel to the current versions of each and here are my scores everyone GREAT JOB TeAm VeNoM the best ROM I have seen yet on any device and this combination I am running is the best ROM/kernel combo I have used yet on any device !!! 5969 quadrant score !!!

Thinking of flashing is this Rom stable and how is battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Yes both versions are stable and both use a save battery script... Of course i made the rom... Try it out... You can always change it... We are all flashaholics here... Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
Okay, fingers crossed that I can flash and successfully use this ROM. If you recall, I was having weird issues after flashing when I would restore my apps and load scripts it would put me in boot-loop hell! Nevertheless, I'm going to do a backup in CWM and give the new release a go and of course, flash your black theme. (which is hella sexy) :P

Thanks for an awesome ROM and wish me luck. :)

By the way I'm on 3G no 4g in my area
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
Just a tip but when you create a reply and submit it, you should utilize the "edit post" function and add to your reply so you don't have a bunch of single posts in the same thread. The mods frown upon this. I learned the hard way so just trying to save you some trouble in the future. :)

And I feel your pain about the lack of 4G. It's not available in my town but when I go to my girlfriends parents house, it's all about the 4G baby, yeah!

This is the only rom venum has? O have heard great things but i only see that theres 300 somr odd posts and calkin and SB are 4k and 5k respectively. I want to flash a venum rom (coming from caulkins) so i can use a blue theme that isnt compatible with caulkins. Jusy making sure this is the official best rom venum has since there are not many posts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
what does the number of posts have to do with the quality of a ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dreDrennon1:
I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking...got it, you don't know what you are talking about, yeah, that's it why don't read all of the post before you say anything they talk about problems with the ROM and other stuff the amount of post doesn't determine the speed of the ROM genius, read my signature, do you like my quadrant score? It's nice huh!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Wow I go to bed and things blow up around here! Kangs droppin, miuis rollin... lol. Good stuff. I'll try to answer the last fe posts without bumping up the post count to much here lol... I hope rom worked out alright Rast? I know you love fast and stable and I hope your running good? Black I'm glad the roms working well for you! Thank you wase and dre for taking up for me... I appreciate it peeps! I've actually talked to blue before... so I' don't really think he meant anything by what he posted... I think he's concerned by such a smaller thread (a. we started this rom MUCH later in the game than the 2 devs you quoted b. I'm just not a flashy guy lol) and if this is the ONLY rom were are sporting right now. So yes blue this is it until I can dig into EL13. Hope you try the rom. It's fast, and stable and can save battery too... I prefer lean now myself... just sayin... Also we have a great group of devs here on the ET4G now... things are taking off! Each rom is different and unique... It's a GREAT time to own this phone!!!! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dreDrennon1:
No problem bro,I got your back I hope are upgrading this ROM with the EL13 setup .. Back to taking calls for sprint I go...
