The files it finds are dead libs that have some uses other than CIQ. This rom 'freezes' it but doesnt remove it. Like opting out, just way harder to code.

Font is the font from ubuntu.

Increased Battery life

I am trying to get more life out of my Battery and have followed the advice of some to use Voltage Control to reduce voltages at the various frequencies - I lowered it by 50 accross the board and a little more agressively at the lower frequencies - seems to help some and no issues to report - but it wasn't a signficant savings - Then I saw someone post they got better battery with the Nubernal kernal than the Samarai and I flashed that too - it also seems to help a little ..

Someone else suggested that I Kill SNS and DRM - but I wasn't sure if that meant to "FREEZE" those aps with Titanium Back up or to simply stop those processes in system/applications/runningservices ?

Which is the best option of those two (or did I misunderstand? - what do those things do by the way?)

Any other tips on what I can do? I am open to suggestions ....

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] EpicNewb4g:
what i think they mean when they say stop sns and drm is go to settings>applications>running services... look for drm, select it, then press stop. same for sns.. youll have to do this after every reboot but it wont come back until then. supposedly, you dont want to delete or kill them completely
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevans:
They meant to freeze those processes in titanium backup. You can also freeze system updates.

The bottom line is if you use your phone a lot, like I do, you will drain the battery. Even with these "tricks," I still find I need to always keep a charger at home, in the car, and at work. I also like to keep a spare battery or two around, just in case. Getting an 1800mAh battery also helps some.

Do you mean step back from Samurai 2.0.6? Can you explain how to manage supercharger options please?

Running v3/MTD ROM, I noticed that my ClockwordMod Recovery is back at v 3.x.x.x.

Poking around, I'm unclear whether we can/should re-update to CWM v5 ... given that now on MTD. I've seen various comments, but not that says definitiely -- it's OK.

So, can we safely upgrade Marcusant v3/MTD ROM to CWM 5? yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Uh... it is on 5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
The Version we have is CWM 5 but the app doesnt support Epic MTD yet so no the app is pretty useless
[Epic 4G Android Development] n756gkj:
Then something's fishy -- either with my phone, or my understanding.

I've ROM Manager Premium open atm, and am staring at the 1st panel that states:

"Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.x.x.x".

So ... :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Don't trust rom manager. It is messed up on mtd. You are actually on 5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] n756gkj:
rm'd ROM MANAGER from my phone until I hear otherwise here ... Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It works fine, just says 3. I use the paid version and it says 3 but works perfect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
That is because rom manager doesn't support our mtdepic fully yet... you are still on 5.0.2.7... do not flash another recovery because the one the mtd rom installed for you is the only one that works on mtd... it is a modified version of cwm 5.0.2.7... to use rom manager you have to have a kernel that supports it and then choose flash recovery within rom manager, then choose epicmtd, then choose that you have manually flashed a recovery, then choose 3.x.x.x... now reboot to recovery and flashing within rom manager will work...

Anyone getting 4g to work on v3 rom? Mine would connect and then immediately go into sleep mode with no data/activity.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiftlock:
connectivity has been a little messy this weekend for me too. i have been able to connect however. its probably not connected, but there has been a pretty big solar storm the last few days. Those typically can mess with connectivity. We have had power outages in my area with no storms etc to blame.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
4g worked fine in testing... are you using any mods like the 3g turbocharger? Also does it work on other roms?

Alrighty guys, just curious to know what's yalls best combo with this Rom v3.

What's your kernel?

Where are your voltage levels?

What's that battery life looking like with medium-heavy use? (Constantly texting + some browing and/ or emulating)

Lord Syrics Jr.

EPIC 4G

Marcusant Revival v1

Shadow 1.04+
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
looks like for you do, it is set up straight out of the box. better battery on shadow, but faster and smoother on samurai .. and i am always oc/uv to the max.1400 on shadow and 1500 on samurai. but these results are just for my phone. as you know, every phone is different.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
So im having a weird issue where the market will download updates, and notify me, but when i click on the notification it directs me to a different application, (ie it says it download "google maps", but if i clikc on it, it takes me to "dropbox")
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

Those with 4G and general connectivity issues in the past few days, remember that we are facing a pretty severe solar storm right now. That's effecting all radio transmission a little bit.

I was also wondering what good settings for the CPU are. With my ROMs and my laziness, I always restore Titanium apps and data. That being said, it decreases stability and performance quite a bit. It appears that whenever my Epic is overloaded or just doesn't want to work it does that soft reboot where Android starts again but not the whole phone. That gets really annoying but it isn't worth it to me to manually restore the data I want a leave the other stuff out. I tried both the Samurai and Shadow kernels and it turns out that the Shadow kernel does this so much less. It also generally feels smoother, but that might be the lack of crashing, LOL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjayman:
I have the same issue...I believe it's just updating another app at the same time you've downloaded a new one and is just mismarked in the drop down....that's my theory anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
Yay post 1000

Is there any point to flashing this over EL30? I would imagine that it overwrites many of the new build's files and would probably just make things more unstable. I guess the nature of a ROM flasher is the 'break it till its broke' but would I just be wasting my time?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
That's what i thought too, but it NEVER selects the right app from notification area.

Its not like its a huge deal... Just didn't know if it was only me
[Epic 4G Android Development] wakkigy:
Turns out it was the kernel as I had flash over it with Samurai kernel. I reverted back to Shadow and its back to normal. Thanks

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
If you have a kernel that has kexek support then there is a thread in development that will allow you to "flash" a bml cwm that will in turn allow you to flash the el30 modem... go and read that thread to get all the info on it...

this will work on the new shadow v0.5 kernel as well as the samurai kernel.

I've been having a few bugs with this ROM recently. Most appear after the phone has been on for a while and disappear after a reboot...

1. The bluetooth will refuse to initiate.

2. The red charging light will stay on after the phone is unplugged from the charger.

3. Soft reboots.

4. Voltage control boot settings don't stick.

The voltage control issue got me suspecting that something was up with the system/etc/init.d/ folder. After checking, I noticed how many scripts are enabled in this ROM (15). Are all these really important?

Anyway, I deleted the entire folder and had voltage control save new boot settings.

My findings are that after removing these scripts, I've yet to notice any degradation in speed or battery life. In fact, so far I've noticed the opposite. Its too early to tell, but I've also yet to experience any of the other 3 bugs I'd had issues with.

I suspect that these scripts are the culprit for the bugs I've been experiencing, but I'd really appreciate other input.
[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
I've been using this ROM since day 1 and havent had any of those problems but i also never messed with voltage control either so maybe thats where the problems came from thats just my guess tho but it seems that if you fixed it with romoving those scripts then you solved the bug
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
1. I don't have something to test it with but I know my Bluetooth turns on.

2. Problem occurs occasionally, I don't notice it or mind it. It normally only happens when I know something's f*cked up anyway, like my SetCPU voltages which I forget to not have apply on startup.

3. YES. MY PHONE DOESN'T GO 10 MINUTES WITHOUT CRASHING! NOW IT'S JUST HARD REBOOTING! Actually I think I need to redo the ROM but I want to wait for an EL30 ROM to flash.

4. I don't use voltage control but SetCPU works fine.

This ROM's good, my flashing, overclocking, and data restoring habits are not. Do you do clean installs?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Soft reboots are from certain themes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
In my case I think it's from restoring all my Titanium apps and data from way back... I think all the way since EC05.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nyr35blue:
I wiped data, cache and dalvik and i dont see a red theme at all. I see the combo of blue/green like in the pics posted. I'm pretty sure Marcusant's 2 was red themed but im baffled. :confused:

cant get voltage control to go above 800 mhz.

I cant get voltage control to allow my CPU to go above 800 mhz. Whenever I set it at 1ghz, as soon as the screen turns off, voltage control reverts back to 800 mhz. This is extremely annoying. How can I fix this? Is the ROM supposed to be running at 800 mhz stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Clear data on voltage control
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
Marcus, by any chance are you working to port this to EL30? No ETA wanted, just curious.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RealTic:
What do you mean? It has never worked from the beginning. I just installed this rom and downloaded voltage control. I deleted data and I still have same problem. Voltage control will hold my settings until the screen turns off, then goes immediately back to 800mhz. I have tried using 3 different kernels w same results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xtrezpasor:
Have you tried flashing a new kernel? Might fix you're problem... either samurai or shadow (some work better for some people)

I have been having the same issue, but on the low end. Mine stays at 1000 as my Max, but my low resets to 200 as soon as I turn the screen off. I switched to setcpu and its working fine.

interim lockmod alternatives?

i've installed v3/mtd ROM. i like the default theme -- a lot -- and prefer to stay with it.

i'd also like to re-install a MIUI Lockmod similar to that which was in the v2 ROM.

iirc, Marcusant's got a lockmod addon planned when time allows, and that'll be my preferred solution.

in the meantime -- is there any available/safe (leak-free ...) 3rd-party alternative that provides just the lockmod?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Try out the milocker app
[Epic 4G Android Development] RealTic:
----ignore this post-----

I have resolved this issue by switching to SetCPU. Everything runs perfect now.

How is everyone doing as far as battery life is concerned? Now that I bumped it up to 1ghz my battery is draining like crazy. I did however update to the shadow 0.5 kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] n756gkj:
I'd tried it a while back ... had nothing but trouble. Now, seems to do the trick, thanks.

Still, not it the same look-n-feel league as you integrated solution, missing the custimization (battery bar, etc) ... nothing you're not aware of.

v3-MTD removed red theme, but I think it's posted in the themes section.

[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:

You don't need to (I think) but nothing bad ever happens from wiping them.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Do it as if you were to install any other rom. Here's what I do.

1) backup apps and data thru titanium backup. Just in case there's a vital app or data that you might need later on.

2)make you had the correct cwm installed. If not, install it.

3)to install rom ,boot into cwm

4)wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache.

5)install rom and reboot system thru cwm and let it load. Might take a while the first time.

6)reload missing apps from the market. I always do titanium first, because it has a list of previous apps. Do not do a batch restore, because it can cause problems.

7)restore data to only those apps that have essential data. In my case I had to restore some text messages.

8)enjoy your new rom.

Does the V3 come with Shadow or Samurai Kernal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
Shadow kernel

[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Uhhh...yes they do. Flash the EC05 stock/rooted/deodexed rom and see what version of clockwork you are on. I'm going to guarantee it's not 5.0.2.7 (it was 2.*.*.* I believe). The 4g Touch has roms that do that too. Haven't flashed back to stock on the epic in a while. Had to for EL30.

Also, for whomever was asking about gps. Page 57 scroll down.

Will doing the GPS Fix flash work instead of doing the permissions thing in v3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
I don't think so. But it takes less time to change permissions than it does to boot into cwm and mount system>flash>unmount>reboot. Imo

But for v3 all that was needed for me was to change permissions to make work

sent from only form of human interactions!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I do both. I *think* I removed the one gps file from the zip before flashing, then flashed the gps fix file, then I changed permissions. GPS locks within like 20 feet and I don't have data, so no aGPS helping it.

Hey guys, has anyone else experienced this/knows how to prevent it from happening?

Every once in a while my phone will randomly reboot, while just sitting untouched at my desk or in my pocket, and it seems that most of the time it's because a text is coming in. Unfortunately the phone doesn't actually receive the text. The only reason I'm suspecting this is happening is because twice now I was expecting a text from a friend, and after the reboot I asked him if he had just texted me and he said yes.

I'm running this ROM with EI22 modem, ShadowKernel, and no extra theme. Only thing I've really changed is the system font, and I'm using Handcent instead of the stock Messenger. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
Graphic intensive apps were having issues for me and most other people..

I'm getting random "soft" reboots too. I don't know if text messaging is causing it though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lord Syrics Jr.:
Hey Marcusant, If i could make one request for v4 (minus any fixes obviously) is a option that we had on Frozen. Yeah that's right time to reminisce.

Anyways, there was an option that was a simple click box that "Make ring volume the same as notification." ish... something to that effect. It only controlled ringer and notification not system sounds.

This would be awesome because its a pain to go in and change notification volume all the time as i get texts alot (work, school, normal, noisy environment etc) instead simply turning the phone up turns up notifications. That is my one humble request. I love the rom and all your work. I might try CM9 to see what the fuss is about but I'm sure ill return to this rom.

Thanks man
