Unfortunately you may be right. So many trys to fix messed up sdcard. I hate that... My backups are always a month back..... I tried different roms, different kernels, wipes, factory reset, nothing yet....

Any other ideas...... I really hate to odin back....... Save as last resort... Which I may be at....

When u power down... plug in charge cord no battery charging animation instead it boots... If I put in different battery then I can't boot no matter what i do...

I've been able to solve every issue I've had in two years with the epic except this one. hummmm

Question on ICS 5.5 i removed the stock messaging app, and eventually stopped receiving media messages mms etc.

Is it safe to remove it on this one with no side effects or just leave it and disable its notifications?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Just disable the notifications if you remove it(like you found out) mms will not work
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ruhai Hu:
Which is weird cause it was working for a bit when I had it removed... Now just flashed this version of the rom and... no battery indicator... fun. Should I reflash... Probably I guess.

cwm was also acting weird after the first flash... menus wouldn't come back up. Eh reflashed it anyway, and updated to samurai 3.0.1

edit:

so played with the settings in the lockscreen... and somehow the battery icon finally showed up. I think I am going to flash shake n bake. I like the colors on it.

Ok new question... is it suppose to play music after booting up? just curious.

[Epic 4G Android Development] greenmuggy:
marcusant im tellin you theres sumthin in this rom thats weird... not dissin on it at all... bc this rom is the fastest smoothest best on battery that ive ever seen !!! but that boot ani you gave me is not customizable, & it totally screwed my phone up lol but ya gotta love odin did u ever get my last gtalk from lastnite with the link to my customized version? everything compiled just fine but when i put it in it breaks video chat on gtalk & made it sooooooper laggy, but if i dont touch it it still breaks vid chat in talk...

GPS isn't working any ideas about iy
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
GPS works, there's just no way to toggle it from the drop down menu. I have used CoPilot successfully. You have to go in through settings to enable it IIRC. My gripe is it didn't show battery percentage (or I did something wrong) and had things missing from the drop down menu. I switched back to ACS ICS 5.5.

Which brings me to my next point. Marcusant, do dialer codes work in this rom? I want to get to Nvitems, and to do that I have to dial #8778# and switch modem to "on". Dialing #8778# on ACS ICS 5.5 doesn't work, and this rom is very slightly different than ACS ICS, so I thought I'd ask. If it works I'll just pull the dialer from this rom and put it in ACS ICS 5.5.

Also, not crazy about SprintAndroidExtension.apk as I have to remove it every time (either by terminal if I forget, or just in the .zip file), but if it's actually useful to sprint users, no big deal. If you didn't do so well on ACS ICS, I would have no gripes about this rom. After all, this rom would be the best rom available if you didn't make ACS ICS, heh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
Check out the Lockscreen Settings at the bottom in your settings menu. Battery percent and GPS toggle are in there. There's also a "hidden" dialer code menu, might be what you're looking for.

I'm still running ACS 5.5. Battery life and everything was great until yesterday. My battery was just on a free fall losing a lot of %. Hell even over night I lost 40%. Any thoughts on what to do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ultro:
I was hoping one of the users of this ROM who have taken the liberty of flashing either the new ShadowKernel or updates to the Samurai Kernel can suggest which I should upgrade to. I have had 2 reboots, both while charging my phone, using the Samurai 2.0.6 Kernel (came when I first flashed the ROM). I, however, love the spectacular battery life it has given me (no doubt in conjunction with the tweaks in this ROM). I have read in the Kernel threads of people reporting draining batteries and some unexpected reboots though, so I'm very skeptical about flashing either one. Any input would be appreciated.

Also, would like to say how much I love this ROM. Finally left EC05 and tried this as my first Gingerbread ROM. So far, freaking great. Loving the speed, the responsiveness, the vast amount of customization options and overall how reliable it is. I look forward to whatever updates it gets :) Thank you for for the great ROM.

Revival support for Link2SD ext4/part2 init at reboot?

running,

Marcusant Revival v1

Samurai v3.0.1

I've upgraded my sdcard, creating a 2nd partition (ext4) for use with Link2SD.

Once Link2SD is installed & setup, the ext4 partition is mounted and correctly used by link2sd,

# df | grep sdext
/data/sdext2 1G 430M 1G 4096

# mount | grep sdext
/dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2 ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

and I see, and can use, all the linked-to-sd apps.

unfortunately, the setup does NOT survive a reboot, requiring a manual intervention, launching link2sd app, and exec'ing a "Quick Reboot".

The Link2sd thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19887328#post19887328) suggests that it's a ROM issue,

My understading was that Revival *does* support init.d scripts.

On my Epic4G, the script's there,

# ls
00remount
04sysctltweaks
03kerneltweaks
02sdcardspeedfix
21batterycal
S97ramscript
05screenstate battery save
01acid_sysctl
93zipalign
11link2sd

# cat /etc/init.d/11link2sd
#!/system/bin/sh
#added by link2sd
sleep 10
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2

mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2

Hoping to get some help figuring out what needs to be done -- either in ROM &/or in the Link2SD app -- to get Link2SD mounts working @reboot of a Revival ROM install.

2.0.6 had an error of him leaving bits of code in it... youll se its not even available for download any more....but I never could get stable with anything with that kernel past 1.2.1. i just switched to shadow and its working great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] n756gkj:
> updates to the Samurai Kernel can suggest which I should upgrade to.

Reading the thread, the answer really seems to be diffferent for different folks.

Fwiw, Revival + Samurai 2.0.6 (either bundled, or standalone overwrite) is fine for me.

Samurai 2.0.8 was a festival of random reboots.

Otoh, Samurai 3.0.1 ( stock frame rate = 60Hz, stock GPU freq = 200MHz ) has been very solid/reliable, with great battery life.

[Epic 4G Android Development] maghig:
I flashed this over 5.5 a few days ago and it's been pretty quirky since. Random slowdowns and freezes. Haven't had a FC yet though. Often it takes up to 2-3 minutes for the unlock screen to even come on after pressing the button, and then it doesn't register screen presses for another few minutes. I'm going to flash back to 5.5 and see if it continues.

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Try to reflash the cwm 5.0.2.7.tar via odin and see if that helps. I don't know if it may have caused it but if you deleted the whole clockwork mod folder it probably has something to do with it. Just reflash with odin and it should take care of your problem...

Since the new Samurai kernel by earthbound is strictly for those that overclock and undervolt, I think that for many, it will be time to go another way. I currently am running the 3.0.1 by Samurai but am wondering what others are using and with what kind of success.

Also, would someone confirm that the scrolling status bar has a ram leak as some have said and if so, please post a link to the stock status bar in red?

startup is System/media... shutdown is system/media/video
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
It must be different for ACS ICS, since there's no shutdown animation (and therefore no folder) and no startup animation folder in System/media.

"Why don't you just flash Revival ROM?"

Well, after performing a nandroid backup and a pre-ROM wipe, I did flash it, but for the life of me, I can't get my D7 Reader app to sign in (even at first boot) after restoring it in Titanium (nothing works, not killing the app, not clearing its data, not uninstalling it, nothing). Since I get that problem with EVERY RSS app I use in that scenario, I'm sticking with ACS ICS for now.

If anyone on here (including marcusant) knows whether the ROM can flash other bootloaders (or knows where the ACS ICS startup animation is located), please let me know.

i have a 2nd, ext4-formatted partition on my /sdcard, and can access it with install of 3rd-party (a2sd, link2sd), but with simply a fresh ROM install -- no 3rd party app -- there's no mount, recognition or use, of that partition.

i thought GB rom included it by default. have either Sprint &/or Marcusant chosen to remove it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
Mines working fine.

Clear your dalvik cache again and reboot? that might help.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

native support and you don't need a separate partition.

You go to settings/apps and on the app in question if its "SD compatible" there is a button to click.
[Epic 4G Android Development] n756gkj:
point is, i *have* a second, ext-formatted partition, and would like app2sd to use it.

currently, i *can*, as you specify, select individual apps in "Manage APplications" (or use an app2sd-moving app ...) to "move to usb storage device", but the app gets moved to the *1st*, fat32 partition ... NOT to the allocated ext4 part.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtimeweb:
the startup animation is a zip called bootanimation.zip

Its is completely flashable or replaceable in the rom by another bootanimation.zip. I actually recolored it blue and reinsterted it in into the package. If you do this you need to make sure the zip is no compression.

The shutdown is system/media/video/shutdown

the bootup and shut down is the red helix which is in the theme section here....if you want to get it back later, just move the graphics and zip back into the rom....

[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
I tried both locations. No such luck. The ACS ICS ROM just has "android" flashing across the front of the screen, but I can't for the life of me figure out where it is. I used Root Explorer to search from root down for "bootanimation.zip" and "sanim.zip" and still no results. I could really use some help with this, marc.

BTW, apparently that RSS-blocking bug that I was talking about is a firmware bug among newer samsung phones (GSII, etc). Anyone else ever experience this with the Epic 4G? If I can't find the solution, then I would have to use THIS procedure (except that I'm already rooted) every time I just want to flash a ROM, and that's definitely not something I care to deal with.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
ACS ISC doesn't have a zip for animations so the phone defaults to the flashing Android across the screen. If you flash a boot anim zip it should work fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
Would flashing a boot animation zip just stick bootanimation.zip into a folder or does it also direct the phone to display that image? I ask because just copying a bootanimation.zip (or sanim.zip for that matter) to data/local doesn't work.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
That did it. For this phone, you have to copy boot animations into the system/media folder, and then rename the zip file to "sanim.zip"
