Question are you still going to support and update ics 5.5? Or mainly work on this, since this is basically the same except red (which flashing other theme's can change this part)?

Reason i ask is today I've gotten my best ever battery life... Running acs ics 5.5,samurai 2.0.6,and the newest shake and bake theme...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtimeweb:
Very happy to see this. Thank you!

For those of already on 5.5...Id just like to clarify that there is no significant changelog from that to this other than the theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
About every hour or so I'll get a random reboot. No idea why, but every time it boots back up Swype crashes. Sometimes the keyboard itself crashes (says it crashed, and can't use it). Can't understand why I can't go from this rom back to ACS ICS 5.5. CWM wont let me for some reason.
[Epic 4G Android Development] solblack:
Probably because you are on MTD right now and acs ics 5.5 is BML. You need to Odin back to stock gingerbread to go back to a BML ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Didn't do your homework before jumping ship to MTD...... Read any OP on a MTD rom, I'm fairly certain it'll say you have to odin to go back to BML or have qbkings video on MTD.....

Sent from my Cyanogen Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
There is a reason swype isn't included. Find an alternative like touchpal. Also read up on mtd... this rom puts you on mtd. Good luck odining back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
I had the same problem, use titanium backup or suck to uninstall the current swype. Then you need to download the swype beta installer and install it through that. Then it shouldn't FC no more. Also fix your permissions in the recovery menu whenever you experience any FC'ing to see if that fixes the problem first :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] phonehunter59:
I was using this rom the other day and noticed that if you don't have a password and press the menu button it will unlock the phone sorry if someone already posted this
[Epic 4G Android Development] bpdfs:
will this work with EC05?? I have been on EI22 twice now with both times 3g going away completely and the signal also going away completely..... Was on ACS ICS v2, just upgraded to 5.5 currently on EC05, but appears the singal is very weak...
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I want to clarify that I don't use swype, nor do I ever want to, but swype is installed for some reason. Kept crashing. Wiped data + cache before install. You think that's the cause of my random reboots? Anyone else get them?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
I am a little confused on this gps fix. I did the first two and it didn't work, so now I am on to modifying permission. When I went in there, do the x and o's represent the read, write and execute options? And I didn't see anything that looked like #6 or#7. Could some one please explaain it a little better for me? Thanks in advance.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ZHkilla:
Did battery drain test. I'm on MarcusantRom v2, EC05 modem, and Shadow TW/MTD OC kernel (set at 100-1300 noop/ondemand) this is with normal usage, moderate internet browsing, little market usage, alot of G+, alot of gtalk, phone calls, sms and mms . Not to shabby at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AFREaKA.Man:
mrcollpepper,

Yeah, I was a little confused with that as well. Yeah, the "X" is for a check mark and the "O" is for it to be left blank. I also didn't have any categories for the "6" and "7" options listed, but after changing those three permissions as noted, the GPS is working great now.

Hope this helps,

Thanks you for clarifying for me. That is what I was thinking but I wasn't sure.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
Okay, so I deleted the something to do with gps, flashed the gps fix and changed permissions and I still don't have gps. I have also did a full clean wipe and reflashed rom and tried again and still no go. If any one else has a suggestion for me that would be great. (Mtd v2 and sammi ronnin5 kernal)

Edit...

Okay so I rebooted again and it is now working. Wierd . Thanks for the help this guys.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
@marcusant your next version could you do a blue or ics theme again please!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I don't know why, but it was apparently because of a theme I installed. Fixed now. Rom works great!

@Jbad look back to a previous post of mine where I asked the same thing. It's really easy to change themes. Just DIY
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
If you're doing themes for your new Rom how about a white & yellow theme? I haven't seen any white-ish theme beside Erebos
[Epic 4G Android Development] smartboy36:
Is there an fix for the phone constantly force closing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] LASuxs:
The rom changed my CWM recovery to 5.0.2.7 which doent seem as stable as the ACS 3.1(i forget exactly but its purple). anyway i can revert back, because even the rom itself doesnt seem to know how to go straight this CWM recovery from the shutdown menu. Never had a problem with the purple one. Also themese do not seem to work on this one, i'm not sure if its due to the Rom or what
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiftlock:
replace the phone.apk with one from another rom such as v1. I think v1 is still available from the download site for this rom but any working phone app will work. Just put it in the /system/app folder

Im pretty sure 5.0.2.7 is needed to support MTD, im not sure, maybe someone else can clarify. I know there have been some issues getting that working still because of the partitioning. Its also why if you hold down the 3 finger salute too long it wont go into recovery either.

For anyone trying to flash a theme, you need to go into mounts and storage in the recovery menu and mount /system before you flash the theme. you can then unmount it after the theme has been installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
You flashed the MTD version of the ROM. CWM 5 is required by MTD ROMs. If you want to go back to BML and ACS recovery you will need to ODIN back to stock.

You should read this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
No way to boot into recovery except for the three finger method because you are now on mtd... this is why you should read the thread before just flashing away!!! also themes work very well... you must mount system in cwm before flashing and then unmount system after flashing before booting... and cwm 5.0.2.7 is very stable which is why it is our official version!
[Epic 4G Android Development] smartboy36:
Thanks. Where is boot animation located
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
If you want a blue theme, just install one. I'm using the shake and bake and love it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LASuxs:
I see, well i guess i'll read up a little on the benefits of mtd before trying again. Kinda like the simplicity of the old way so maybe thats why. Also being able to reboot right into recovery which is part of many roms and themss now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Same here... but really its just one more step... shutdown and then boot to cwm instead of just boot to cwm...

BML v2

Marcus, are you still planning on putting out a BML v2? I am sure you are buried with MTD stuff but there are a few of us that would like to stay on BML. Not asking when mind you, just if. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Version 2 bml already came out... you just had to rename the address from mtd to bml... someone posted the link a few pages back... lemme see if I can find it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Thanks but I have v2. Point is, Marcus pulled it, saying that it needed some tweaking before he released it for download again.

Awesome rom the best I've used on my epic .
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Excellent combo of V2 MTD and Ronin5 TW MTD kernel. Had one random reboot x 24 hours. Swype Beta works but I prefer FlexT9 KB which has its own swype-like function. GPS, hotspot, camera all work fine. I set up a swipe gesture for 4G in LauncherPro and last annoyance is gone.:thumbup:
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Why? What reason? I like swype & I have been wanting to try your rom, but I don't want to give up swype.

[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
word, im a swype-a-holic too, id liek to know if swype was the root of a random reboot or something. guess ill look in to touchpal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
...So why do you two have the phone if you're not going to use the keyboard?
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
I use my keyboard sometimes. Just installed touchpal, havnt had the chance to use it much. on another note (and I did read up on it) my phone process keeps FCing and I've done the pushing of another apk in to the system/app folder, and installed the ICS theme. idk whats up with it :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
from what i remember swipe was having issues and wouldn't allow the rom to be under 130mb.

as far as you the phone f.c., i installed another ei22 theme and didn't have a problem. i use minimalistic black, but I hear that the ics theme also works. i guess not for you, you could always try and reflash with a clean wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] solblack:
If you need Swype so badly download the beta. It's what I did and it works better than the stock Swype anyways.

I originally got this phone because of the keyboard but find myself barely using it. I'm going to buy a game gripper though so I guess I will use it more often.
[Epic 4G Android Development] saintirish:
I've been using TouchPal and find that its accuracy is absolutely abysmal, terrible, and without merit. It doesn't know the word I am trying to type nearly as well as Swype does. Is there some magic way to make it work more accurately?? It picks words that aren't even close to what I swipe all the time, and the word I did swipe is rarely in the other choices menu.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Download Swype beta = problem solved. Or try out paid versions of FlexT9 or SlideIT KB, each has its own version of "swype". Applanet market has both for free...

I am still getting phone force closes, despite using Titanium to extract a V1 version of Phone.apk and wiping data/rebooting. What else needs to be done?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
OGM WTF?!

I can find other keyborads I WANTED TO KNOW WHY SWYPE WILL NOT WORK! What is the

technical reason.

It is on page 40 of this thread. The answer straight from the dev, since you didn't want to look for it.

my ronin5 MTD revival v2 rocks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
You have a valid question and I am glad you asked it... But your attitude is slightly off.. No one here works for you and they don't have to answer any question or give you any assistance.. Being users who aren't involved in the development we need to read, search, read at least twice before asking questions.. Sure they could have been more polite but you could have also found the answer and not even needed to ask.. So its all good there are alot of new changes in Epic development, we ALL just need to read things out
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lord Syrics Jr.:
I know everybody is on mtd now a days but is the bml v2 worth it to 1? I get it is smaller but does anyone have a big list? Please, I'm not sure about mtd it's still sketchy to me so I'd like to stay bml

Thanks guys

[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
BML? What's that? :-)

EDIT: Switch over to MTD: it's completely worth it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiftlock:
Marcusant mentioned he may not make the next update in BML. The rom overall runs much smoother than v1 for me. Yes MTD can be a little scary at first but usually whatever problems there are with an update are quick fixed within a couple days. besides an occasional keyboard crash, V2 is running wicked smooth for me. Im sure the next update will come with real fixes to the current issues. the typical issues that come with MTD will be sorted out as teh devs work out the kinks. Its like putting a turbo on a car. the turbo 'kit' doesnt always come with everything you need, you sometimes have to play with a few things to make it run smooth.

Also trying out new roms and customizing them more, such as themes, keyboards and other mods is half the fun of having a rooted droid. Really there isnt anything to be worried about because there is always someone here who can answer your questions if you get stuck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Ya i agree with that, it also goes both ways NOT just at me. But sumtimes ppl are pissed about other things (me) & don't feel like being told they DON'T need somthing. When I was simpley wondering why said app does not work.

I don't care if somebudy thinks I should use HW Keyboard (I'm using it right now) I like & use swype & the HW keys

Amen! I love Swype, too. And, TouchPal doesn't work nearly as well for me. I'm a punctuation nazi and TouchPal blows when it comes to punctuation and don't get me started on the word prediction! Anyway, the Swype Beta works great and since I reinstalled it all is right with the world again, so I can't complain :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
I did another push and a reset and it didnt fully fix the issue. I've done a clean install of the rom too. So really whats up with this?.

edit: i know i posted this and got a reply a couple pages back but the solutions provided to me have not worked. it seems like its only FCing when I call certain people, I was able to make calls to my home phone, and my sister who is on Sprint aswell. My mom is on a track phone, and whenever she calls or I call I get the FC. hmmmmm
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
I am getting FCs with the phone app as well. Tried everything... reflashed the Rom, installed every phone.apk I had, removed V2 Phone.apk with SDX app and installed a V1 Phone.apk to /system/app with root explorer. Fixed permissions, wiped app cache, system cache and dalvik. Can someone post a working Phone.apk as well as their steps to fix? Much appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaqual:
The "answer" on page 40 doesn't say why Swype doesn't work, just that it doesn't work at less than 25MB, so please be more understanding of zman's actual question. The origin of the malfunction has not been specified, as far as I can tell.

@zman519:

If you are interested, I have a version of swype that has endured multiple rom installations, including revival v2 mtd. It is located at http://db.tt/wSVDu6C4, and is, coincidentally, only 20.83MB. I usually use Titanium to restore it, but I suppose just dropping it into system/apps would work, but only if there are no other versions installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaqual:
This happened to me a couple of ROM's ago, seems like it's an issue with the contact, not the phone apk itself. When the call is over, it attempts to write the contact to recent calls, but is unable to, causing a force close. Try creating a new contact for the ones that don't work, and delete the old one, or delete your google account(and your contacts, if you have them on "phone") and recreate it, so it downloads your contacts again. This worked for me, hope it works for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
Deleted my Facebook account and suddenly I get no more FCs when calling my friends or mother, huzzah.
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
So I flashed and I have a nice base to start loading my apps up.. GPS is flawless because of the fixes that Toadlife put in the thread a ways back and Gitusum's ICS theme fixed the phone fc's.. Only small issues are that I cant change the clock color in the settings and sometimes the screen timeout seems to have the screen stay on.. But this is a good improvement from ACS ICS I think I may stay on here for a while even tho CM has WiMax.. I like Gitusum's ICS theme but I liked some elements on the old ACS ICS better and I have it OC'd to 1.3 and its stable so far.. Thanks everyone I'm a very happy camper over here..
[Epic 4G Android Development] bpdfs:
what is WiMax?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
:(

4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
WiMax is 4G which this Rom has.. Cyanogen Mod or CM had issues getting 4G working since that rom is not based on a stock Epic rom.. They finally got 4G working but I will pass on CM for now because this is working fine once I flashed a theme to fix the phone force closes and I fixed the GPS issue..

Another small bug/ issue that most roms have is that the hacked sprint hotspot app does not work with 4G.. Its not supposed to work at all so 3G is better than nothing or just use a different app..
[Epic 4G Android Development] bpdfs:
Why the sad face??

Lol sorry Im just a small noob learning! you guys are the best
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
Im far from a noob Ive been flashing roms since the PPC 6700 and the HTC Mogul aka 6800.. But one thing I learned is things change fast on here and every few months the "New fix/ hack/ tweak/ setting/ app/ utility" will be something you have never heard of.. Searching and googling then reading are as necessary as breathing lol I've been stalking this rom for about a week or so, just learning everything I can so now that I have finally flashed I have ZERO issues.. Any time an acronym that you have never heard of comes up just google it followed by your phone name and 9/10 your answer will be right there.. MTD is pretty new it just came out in December I believe you should start there lol Also check the stickies and top posts in EVERY section for the phone.. There is a thread on MTD that is stickied in the Android Development section that is vital to read before installing this Rom and most new Epic roms

I wasnt calling you a noob if you thought it that way, I was calling myself one! Yeah I have been reading alot about that stuff lately and watching You Tube videos

[Epic 4G Android Development] Jinded:
I'm just a little confused cause this ROM already has scrollable widgets, and the non-lock-mod version of Shake 'n Bake also lists scrollable widgets as a feature. So does that mean the non-lock-mod theme would overwrite the TSM parts widgets in the ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
In shake n bake, the non lock mod version has the scrollable widgets with the 4g toggle. That's the one I use with this ROM and it works great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jinded:
Thanks. I tried the Shake & Bake theme, but overall like the one from this ROM better, especially the font and status bar icons & widgets. The one thing, though, that bothers me is that the text for notifications, like for incoming SMS or emails, is red on black, making it hard to read for me. Is there a way to change just this font color to white and nothing else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
I know you weren't! I'm just sayin that Noob or not flashing roms takes work and dedication even if you aren't a dev, we have to keep ourselves up to speed and not expect anyone to hold our hand.. Not saying you did that or anything wrong just trying to give you a few pointers.. and yea Youtube helps alot too.. I was a noob to MTD last week lol

[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
A white theme sounds sick! I cannot wait!

I figured out the swype issue (swype.apk was included in the "Honeycomb Fusion Explosion theme) and I currently cannot figure out if it's the theme or this rom that is causing random reboots. I don't know if it's a reboot, but the screen flashes on, it temporarily disconnects from the network, and it looks like it loads up everything again. I *think* it happens shortly after I use messaging, but that's pretty much all I use. V2 MTD.
