And it was the blue google icon from the market?? That is the one I installed then long pressed the home screen selected widgets and picked that blue google just download and all was butter.... does it work at all on your phone? Or just not the widget. Maybe selected wrong one.( not saying you did) if it does work like in app drawer and can't get widget to work(not sure why it wouldn't) you could create a shortcut thru the same longpress homescreen menu.

I hope I understood what you wwere asking?

Sorry but I have a little problem, when i get to gpsd and try to long press it nothing happens and I get a message saying no files were found?
[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
Ive noticed this on other ROMs as well with google search bar but if you got to the market and install the updated google search bar it works just fine and it has added voice commands that work very well

As far as this ROM goes so far i havent found anything better stability is more than what you would expect i have had no force closes other than the transitions in messaging but its few and far between over all this ROM is golden excellent job Marcusant
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
I am sure you already did, but double check your process. You may have a bad download also. I tried to duplicate the problem and couldn't. But in es exlporer, once you makesure to root and then mount(botton 2 choices in settings) I hit the star at the top left corner and pick the phone icon, then go to system>vendor>bin>gpsd

I would try it like this and it doesn't work, then, cwm> clean wipe> and reflash....

If anyone else has some ideas, please chime in.

[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
I tried to recreate your problem and i could not even with root and mount unchecked i didnt get a error message when i long pressed gpsd.

I would take mrcollpepper's advice and either redownload esfile manager or reflash your ROM doing a full 3 wipe
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jedi2155:
I've tried those other browsers but still think the stock one is better even with those limitations. Just prefer a fix.

Flashed to v3 with CWM5, everything seems to work just fine. However, I could not connect to market. Keep getting the error - "Error retrieving information from Server"
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Try clearing data from settings>applications>manage applications. If that doesn't work try uninstalling market and reinstalling from a backup like titanium or my backup pro.

So not everyone was having the problem with the GPS only some?? weird...
[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
I think everyone was having problems with GPS but there is a pretty easy fix for it just gotta change the permissions for it
[Epic 4G Android Development] wakkigy:
Turns out to be possibly bad flash or odd market setup. I reflashed the rom and 2nd time and the market setup and run perfectly.

I followed the direction to install google search from market and everything is working nicely. However, the search button doesn't seem to open up google search app. Does anyone how I can fix that shortcut key?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Try using a file explorer and go to system>app and uninstall googlequicksearchbox.apk and redownload from the market, install,reboot.

Ok i'v been trying to look at dates & stuff. does this mean v3? or v2?

about Shake & Bake theme
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Actually for the hardware search key to work you need the googlequicksearchbox.apk that came with the phone stock to be in system/app I help someone eles in this thread with it and he posted step by step what he did and it fixed his issue. Essentially just pull it from a rom that has it and root explorer it into this one + reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
both. any EI22 theme can be flashed to MTD. just one extra step needed for MTD. wipe your cache>dalvik cache>mounts and storage-mount system>flash rom>unmount system>reboot happy flashing
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
He meant flash theme... lol... everything else was perfect though...
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Thanks, but i do know about mounting.

I see in the change log for v3 "Framework" & i know themes use framework as i have a custom version of shake & bake.

I believe he's talking about the hardware search button, doesn't work for me either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ProDriver77:
That is correct. I was talking about the hardware "Search" key. Read a few posts back about the missing APK. I'll try later to see if that's a good fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
It's not HUGELY imperative, but any of you fellows use themes and find them stable (no rebooting after using messaging/at all)? I find Marc's red theme and the EI22 ICS 2.1 with lockmod theme both have this issue (didn't try without lockmod). I'm going to assume the lockmod is just unstable with EI22 as it worked fine with EC05; however, anyone have luck with a lockmod theme?

I get bored with the same thing for more than three days. There's nothing wrong with the standard v3 theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
The lockmod has a memory leak issue..... some have problems, some don't......
[Epic 4G Android Development] D-Buckner:
Odd. I just checked mine and can report that it's working for me. So, there it's hope in getting it working!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ProDriver77:
It worked! Dropped GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk into /system/app and hardware Search key is fully functional again.

Now that I have everything fixed, I can say this app (with Red Theme added) is lookin' freakin' sweet!

As always Marcus.....you.....are.....the.....man! :-)

On v3..(i wipe 3x and flashed), GPS will not get lock. I have tried the following in different combinations with no success. This worked with V2 though...

EDIT it works!! Just couldnt get it to work on the 31st floor sorry everyone!!!

) 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

- 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.
[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
I got my GPS to work just by changing the gpsd permissions i didnt have to delete anything or change any other permissions and im on V3

i used this method

Does anyone have the stock Music Player APK? A Google search hasn't found what I'm looking for, and I frankly don't like the sound quality of Google Music when hooked up to the Monsoon Sound System in my VW.
[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
Take a look in the Epic 4G apps section maybe its there
[Epic 4G Android Development] ProDriver77:
Did one better:

1. Extracted APK from ACS ICS v5.1 ROM (on my SD card).

2. Copied to /system/app

3. Ding! Music's ready! :-)

4. Kick myself in the head for not thinking of it sooner.

[Epic 4G Android Development] agentsparrow:
Just wanted to say EXCELLENT ROM!! After running CM7 for a bit, I'm back to this. While CM7 is definitely stable enough to be a daily driver, it doesn't have the polish that roms designed specifically for the Epic have. The generic device codebase has its advantages and drawbacks, but this rom by Marcusant is totally rock solid, smooth, and battery generous. With the red theme I have no other desires and there is really nothing that CM7 gives me over this rom that would make me want to endure the minor quirkiness in the difference of drivers and codebase that aren't designed specifically for the Epic. *applause*
[Epic 4G Android Development] sxypapi:
is DIAG possible with this ROM? :confused:

thanks in advance ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] h16h:
Does anyone else have issue where the time is not displaying correctly on the lockscreen. I can only see for example, 2:1XPM..the minutes are overlapping with the AM/PM.

I'm using V3 with the default theme and lockscreen the rom comes with.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Known problem... installing a theme over it fixes it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] h16h:
Thanks, sorry I really did try to search for this.

I really like the default theme, hopefully I can find something similar.

Marcus this is simply the best rom for my Epic, without your work, I probably would've moved on to another phone by now. With that said, I'll be sending a six pack your way shortly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuckenheimer:
I have not been able to utilize spoken Google search on this ROM. It's my first attempt with the change in file system, etc. but wanted to know if this is because of the ROM. I can say that CM7 was installed afterward (same file setup) and the exact same deficiency is there.

Maybe I didn't perform the install correctly. Any sage words of wisdom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
You have to download the updated version from the market thats all i did and it works fine

It has been posted like 29 times. Look for it or search the thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Solution has been mentioned many times throughout this thread... you must fix the permissions for gps (can't remember exact file and what the exact settings for the permissions were...) go back and read the thread and you will find it...

1) Download ES File Explorer

I found a bug with the flashlight from the top menu or even the torch application. Once the screen times out, the flashlight turns off and when you turn the screen back on, the application crashes.

Also - does anyone know where I can get the default Epic 4G GB ringtones, as this rom strips them?

What task manager is recommended for use with this rom?

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiftlock:
Just check any other roms that might have them. I think ACS ICS v5 might but im not entirely sure. then just pull them out of the zip and import them into this one with a file explorer or into the zip before you flash the rom.

edit: ringtones are located in /system/media/audio/ringtones
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuckenheimer:
I d/l'd the Voice Search Google from the market and that works now. Another anomaly is that the Google widget won't accent input and the magnifying glass LED bottom right, will not instantiate the program. Any idea why?

Also, the microphone does NOT appear on the virtual keyboard either.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bazidl:
Yea I ran into this to. I just downloaded Tiny flashlight from the market and uninstalled the torch app using titanium...good to go. It doesn't fix the top menu flashlight though but works on its own...I just added the widget to the desktop which works great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuckenheimer:
Strange. I deleted the Google Search widget and then pressed the spyglass and it operated properly. Reset the widget and there was the microphone but the text input area wouldn't put up the keyboard. Tried another way of searching with the keyboard and the microphone was NOT there.

Guesses?
[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
im no expert but maybe you had a bad download try uninstalling google search all together and then re-installing it...i havent had any problems with it after i got the updated version form the market

Is the stock cpu frequency supposed to be underclocked a little set at 800mhz? I just opened up voltage control for the first time and it was underclocked before I even changed any settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuckenheimer:
I didn't d/l anything, just experimented with what was already on the ROM. I can try what you suggested but I'm curious why the similar behavior exhibited on CM7.

I got all my ringtones off the MIUI ROM they have a ton and they are pretty cool
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxn0sflam3zxx:
+1

Ran into this as well. I'd set it to the new frequency and it would always revert to 800 mhz. Ended up clearing the app data and it now sticks at 1200, despite that I set it to 1300.

Think it may be something related to the kernel.

[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Okay sir Marc, I know you haven't optimized this rom for EL30, but I'm running it just fine. I haven't noticed any actual problems. The modem doesn't have anything to do with the GPS right? Or should I test this modem before using the GPS fix and after (to compare differences)?

Otherwise I don't know if I'm imagining it, but after updating to EL30 from some EC05 stock rom...holy hell this rom flies!

For those interested:

If on MTD:

1) Download the tar.md5 in this thread. Puts you back to stock EC05:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021305

2) In odin, select the huge file under the "PDA" button. Make sure you select "victory.pit" as well (didn't work for me otherwise. Hung on factoryrfs.rfs for half an hour).

3) Flash. Boot after it finishes. Takes about 2 minutes.

4) After booting shut off and boot CWM. It's a VERY old version. I would flash a CWM 5.0.2.7 zip as well as it makes the whole process easier.

5) Flash EC05 -> EL30 zip here with CWM 5.0.2.7

6) EL30 attained.

7) Flash Revival rom v3

A pain in the ass, but it's not too hard. I'm now running Marcusant's revival rom on EL30. Why? I am bored perpetually and when something is working just too fine I need to mess around with it.

EDIT: To those curious: I live in a bad area where signal strength is weak at best (or just non-existent). While I still get dropped calls, my signal strength is significantly better than before. Not sure how it affects battery life.

Its not the built in hotspot but it works http://db.tt/Q6n9nOge. Go in and change the first two settings before you run the hotspot... 1. To epic 4g 2. To softap (if you don't see softap just pick automatic) and if trying to use with 4g turn on 4g after you start the tether...

still have no gps signal anyone with a fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RealTic:
not to sound like a ****, but there are atleast 500 posts in this forum with the same issue you are experiencing. You need to download es file manager, and fix the permissions for the GPS file. Search GPS fix on this thread.

Scroll down until you find the guy talking about broken gps and es file explorer.

My GPS now locks within about ten feet. It's amazing! I have disabled data on my phone (it's on verizon, long story), so I have no aGPS feature so it used to take forever and a day for a lock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxDRKAxx:
i understand the search feature, but i have already responded to one of the options and i was stuck on one of the steps because i apparently didnt have one of the options shown in the procedure, i posted that i was missing that and noone responded, so i tried again i get stuck at step 3 when i have no vendor option.

in es file manager make sure you press the star at the top left of the screen then press the phone icon then you should be able to get thru step 3 if system/vendor/bin/gpsd isnt there then its beyond my expertise hope this helps man
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
You are correct. Long press gpsd to to change permissions. It is the last one in the menu.

But if you don't have vendor, you have a bad download. Redownload>wipe data, cache, dalvik cache> flash rom.
