if your using the MTD version of this ROM then you want to flash the TW MTD version of the samurai kernel.

If you flashed the BML version of this ROM then you want to flash the BML version of the Samurai kernel.

Before you flash your kernel you better know which version of the ROM you're on or you'll have to odin back to ECO5 and start all over again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TripleAgent:
Thanks. I am on V2, I think all the acronyms threw me off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
Any one able to recommend a blue theme that works well with this ROM?

I like the shake and bake, is the latest one working with this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
You can use any EI22 theme with an MTD ROM. You just need to mount /system in CWM before flashing the theme, then unmount it and reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
this little tid bit should be stickied somewhere or made note of on the OP. Everyone on MTD or thinking about going to MTD should know this
[Epic 4G Android Development] cruizerfish:
Firstly, mega-thanks for the update! I took the plunge and I'm happy with the results. My only question is, will there be a fix for the phone issue forthcoming? I.E. zip package to update via CWM... TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
I've seen it in a lot of threads, including mine, but yeah, I guess a sticky somewhere would be helpful :)

I can remeber reading around christmas that marcusant said it was time for v2.5. So I am going to assume that he will be fixing the optimazation issues along with phone and gps.

Marcus, are you planning to link to v2 TW again? I miss the red.
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
4G hotspot still doesn't work. I'm on v2 BML. Anyone have it working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Here's the link for the TW BML version of v2 : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20684434&postcount=452

It works great, I've been running it for a few days now and it has none of the problems you guys are having with MTD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
How did you get 4G to work with mobile hotspot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
How does it compare to v1?

UPDATE: of great concern! downloaded v2 BML but About Phone says MTD. What did I install?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Its still the bml just reads mtd for some reason...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
The bml isn't finished. It is bml but as it is not 'official' it still says mtd.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
I appreciate your intention to finish it. Hope it happens. Be well. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
Anyone on v2 have mobile hotspot working with 4G? I'm curious as to how Xalky got his working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Some peoples work some don't... I myself couldnt get it to work on this rom either. Working On legendary though... love this rom but I depend heavily on the hotspot hack so I just keep a backup of this and legendary... restore this when I don't need it... restore legendary when I do...
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I run stock-ish Mtd with samurai legend as my daily. Usb and wireless tether work flawlessly. 4G dies when tethering on this ROMs mtd build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
I don't use Mobil hotspot. I have no idea if it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
Oh okay. I'll try flashing the Minimalist Black theme and see if that fixes it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
Oh, I thought you said it worked. Must have got that confused with you just running 4G w/no hotspot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
I run minimallistic black and it fixed 4ghotspot hack. And no phone fc's either

Edit... I am on v2 mtd
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
So do you find any performance benefits to MTD? Or is it just to accomodate the soon-to-be onslaught of open sourced programming for the Epic?

And the regular EI22 themes will work regardless? I do love me some Minimalistic Black!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Yep all ei22 themes will work on mtd. You just mount system in cwm, flash theme, then un mount system, then boot up
[Epic 4G Android Development] asanuma:
Link2SD...

Dear Marcusant & friends,

Does Link2SD work on MTD ?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
Performance... not really, but I am not as phone savy as a lot of other people on here. I haven't really noticed any difference to be honest. Just the way you go to stock.

Edit..

There are many people in this thread that know more about it than I do. I just read and read and try to learn. I am pretty ignorant about it actually, thanks to these people for there help to make my phone work like it should have from the start.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
So does GPS work? I don't really care about 4g as I don't have data on Verizon anyway (nor do I pay for it). Also, anything else wrong with v2 that I don't know about? V1 crashed a bit too many times for my liking.
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
How do you get it to boot up with Minimalistic theme? It takes me like 5 reboots for 15 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Read post # 524. My only question is how do you "unmount" system? Is that a command line in CWM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
No, I meant the Minimalistic theme stalls when you boot up your phone. There's something wrong with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
It booted up normal for me. But I read there thread and they all said it took like 10 to 15 minutes for intail boot to load. But that is due to like delvik cache being cleared. Did you clean wipe, mount system flash theme, unmount system then reboot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
When you mounted system, it says unmount were mount was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiftlock:
I would try this but I'm heading out of town and don't have time to test it on this rom. Had to jump back to v1. I just know cleanGB just added it.

Yes I didn't realize that flashing a new theme on MTD required a different step. I'm still getting used to the whole MTD thing now. I had been on CM7 but wanted to give TW MTD rom a try and I think I will stick with this for my daily for now.

Installed the ICS and the phone.apk seemed to be fixed with that theme.

Marcusant also has a thread in the theme section describing how to make BML's work with MTD. Followed it and it install perfectly. Now just need the GPS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Toadlife just posted a fix for the gps... earthbound said he will be putting out his new kernel with the fix in so gps will be fixed soon
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
regarding phone FC's on v2 BML, I was able to pull the phone.apk from v1 and switch them out but deleting, renaming or moving the v2 phone.apk was a total bear. In Root Explorer, any action to phone.apk caused a FC so you have to do things quickly in between FC's but once I got the errant apk out, and rebooted, it has been working like a charm. Nize.

Does anyone even care about BML anymore? I hope so, there are many not ready to take the leap yet to MTD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crazyc78:
Not sure if it's the Rom or the Kernel but I've experienced three reboots since switching over to this rom. I'm running the TW v2 of this rom.

For some reason, gtalk doesn't have video on this ROM.

Can someone post a link for gtalk w/ video apk file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
i know I said I wasnt getting reboots after flashing the ICS theme, but for some reason I am now getting constant phone FCs on the MTDv2 rom, the only thing thats changed between now and then was I flashed the Superfreezer/defroster zip which seemed to work, and helped get a solid day and a half out of my phone. Today I tried making a call and got the FC, wiped data from phone apk, and rebooted phone. still no dice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
I am not having any fc problems on mtd v2. But all I did was switch to the legendary sammi kernal and minimalistic black theme. Try that one out and see.

Edit....

I have not had any reboots either. I make and receive probably 20 calls a day.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Loving the ROM, but my GPS will not turn on. I tried the GPS fix and also updated to the latest samurai (Legend), but I can still only get wifi lock. The GPS icon doesnt even appear... :( Anyone know a fix?

(v2 MTD)

Scratch that, it appears Legend doesnt update and leaves Warrior, so perhaps a new samurai version with the glitch fixed will make GPS work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiftlock:
Gps fix didn't work for me either however camera and google search widget both work. I flashed ICS theme and so far no FCs.

I do have a request however. Most roms (including v1) allow me to start google search directly by just typing on the keyboard from the homescreen. If you could fix that in this rom that would be awesome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Think I'm gonna wait until 2.5 (Marc said he was releasing a 2.5 soon a few pages back lol). v1 FC'd a bit on me, and people aren't exactly saying good things about V2. Will the next version be MTD?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
I have been running mtd v2 since the relaese, and my only complaint is gps. It has been very snappy and stable. You need to remember only the ones with problems are the ones replying. That is how they know what needs to be fixed.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Agreed, excellent rom. Everything is perfect except the gps (and no 4g icon on scrolling status bar, but everyone knows that)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robalboa:
No real benefit except the ability to enlarge the system storage and a loss of wimax altogether the claim is as of now might not get wimax to work ever!!! I seriuosly doubt that but when they get a full working version then I think we can abandon BML

Mtd on this rom has 4g...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Yea, I think he's equating CM with MTD. Isnt it the loss of Touchwiz in CM that knocks out 4g? This rom is TW just on MTD, so it works fine.

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

For anyone interested in a GPS fix immediately, this just worked for me:

1) Download ES File Explorer

2) Settings -> Scroll to bottom -> Root explorer + Mount

3) Navigate to /system/vendor/bin/gpsd

4) Long touch gpsd, click properties

5) Modify permissions to

X X X

X O X

X O X

6) ????

7) Profit

(credit to toadlife)
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
+1

Keep in mind that the fix will have to be applied at every boot because the permissions get set by the kernel at boot time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Does the kernel set that before or after it runs the scripts in init.d?

Where are people getting the working camera apk?

Take the phone.apk from v1 and put it in system/app and reboot. problem solved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Thanks, ill try that out when I get home
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
Now that I think about it I actually got the phone.apk from ACSICS but, v1 should work as well. I have a bunch of ROMS on my SD and just grabbed one at random for the file fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
soo.. im switching between this and CM7, I really much prefer Marcusants ROM as it could get me ATLEAST 1.5 days out of my 1800 OEM battery, CM7 I barely squeezed 13 hours out of it. waiting patiently for 2.5, will try the phone apk push to solve the problem I was having.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
I'm on the bml version of v2 and battery is awesome. I'm also running the Samurai Legend kernel for bml. This absolutely the best battery life I've ever had. My phone has been unplugged for 14 hrs now with moderate usage and I'm still at 50%.

I'm staying put till this whole MTD thing gets sorted out and refined. I'm pretty content.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiftlock:
Ok i have finally got it all sorted out.

Phone FC - import phone.apk from another rom such as v1 or ACS ICS.

-OR- Install EI22 ICS theme

Camera Issues - again just import it from another rom.

Broken GPS - Any one of these things could fix your gps. for me it took all of them.

- Delete /system/etc/init.d/somethingtodowithgps ( may also be called gpsfix)

- Flash GPS_Fix.zip in CWM found here

- follow this

Apparently the kernel can change these back after a reboot. I noticed that file permissions were not changed after reboot for me. you will have to check to see if its the case for you.

- Also change permissions of

/system/framework/com.android.location.provider.jar

/system/framework/com.google.android.maps

to match above.

This should fix the major issues most people have been having. After all this everything is running smooth as butter. As always thanks marcusant for the hard work and im excited for 2.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
Does it need to say, somethingtodowithgps ? Because mine says gpsfix in that spot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiftlock:
thats just the file that marcusant said to delete. you can delete the gps fix file if thats what you have
[Epic 4G Android Development] plasmata:
Marcusant just said that because he couldn't remember the exact name at the time. gpsfix is the right file name.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It was the only thing to do with GPS... I hope to have a new font, theme and possibly integrated emoji in the next version. I may also work on my own kernel if possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Any way to flash the ACS ICS theme? I like the theme of Marcusant revival, but I don't think my old man is much for red.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Mount system as RW and flash GituSum 's ICS theme in the theme section.
[Epic 4G Android Development] solblack:
Maybe a silly question but will ask it anyways.

coming from the CM7 MTD rom I can just flash this rom and be good to go right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
If you wipe data
[Epic 4G Android Development] solblack:
I knew I should have put that in my post that I already assumed that part lol. Thanks for the help!

EDIT: BTW I haven't really read up on ROM Mangager but I tried installed your MTD v2 Fixed and it yelled at me saying it couldn't open it. I probably did something wrong or just don't know really what I'm doing. Just did it manually so no problems :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
It's important to note that there are two versions of Revival v2 floating out there: the BML and MTD versions. You can flash over only if you are on an MTD and going to an MTD. Otherwise you need to Odin back to stock if you are converting MTD back to BML. Most of the MTD roms have built in conversion. Correct me if I am wrong about this.

I don't think this can be stressed enough, there's a lot of people getting into trouble by not heeding this warning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] solblack:
that is why I stated I was on the MTD version. I've read enough to know BML and MTD don't play well together.

You are correct though. People don't read before they do things a lot of times.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tony_spear:
In my experience, ROM Manager doesnt seem to open the download folder(s). It wants to see the .zip in the root SD folder. Move the download from Tapatalk downloads, or Downloads to your root SD directory before utilizing ROM Manager. Then ROM manager works fine....or do it manually, like you did. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] uabassguy:
First off I just want to say I absolutely love this rom! It's snappy, has a good battery life, and I love the tsm integration. A couple things which have probably been mentioned (didn't want to read 50+ pages on my phone) the 4G widget I'm sure you're already aware of, but one thing I wanted to point out was the lockscreen controls have the wrong graphics. Not sure if that's more maddoggins department, just thought I'd point it out. Other than that I think this will be my main rom for a while. Great theme, great work, compliments to the chef :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AFREaKA.Man:
Okay,

So I just wanted to confirm that the fix for the phone.apk (by replacing it with version 1) and the fix for the GPS work brilliantly!!!! I had to do all the steps to get the GPS to work, but so far the change to the permissions fix has endured reboots, so it's looking like it's a permanent fix--accuracy has been within 15 feet (maybe closer)! I never had any problems with the camera because I didn't switch from the BML version to the MTD version until after Marcusant posted v2 with camera fix. Thank you so much for posting the solution to those issues!

Marcusant,

You've got a really great ROM here and this is the first time I'm finally happy with the performance of my Epic 4G since it launched with Eclair (I just mean how smooth and reliable it was). I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for v2.5 and hope (and assume) that you include these fixes to it--I'll be sending you a small donation sometime in January (little tight on funds right now) as a token of my appreciation.

Happy New Year, everyone!!!

Just wanted to wish you luck in your new endeavors. Oh and I also wanted to try out your newest creation. ;-)

So far so good accept for the fact I have no battery icon. I was going to reflash, however I use a battery percentage icon on my homescreen anyways...so I left it alone.

Just figured I should say something incase someone else had the same issue. I am using the newest cwm recovery for the record. Also, the issue was present prior to restoring my data. No other issues to report at this time.

I have a question for Marcus and this may just be personal choice. Your early builds had luancher pro and you have switched to ADW. I paid for luancher pro long time ago so I switched but if you think ADW is better for you builds i'd be willing to mess with it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blankrubber:
Great work once again, Marcus.

I will admit I flashed Honeycomb v3 theme over this with no problems after wiping cache/dalvik.

Actually, I installed this Marcusant Revival over RandomRom without wiping data, I just wiped cache/dalvik. Some of my apps will force close upon opening, and I'll have to uninstall, reinstall clean from the market, and use MyBackup to reinstall the data. Occasionally, though, I can just wipe the app's data and it works fine. Otherwise, all of the system apps work perfectly, and this is in no way an issue.

Thanks for the lovely rom, Marcus.
