bug report: noticed Camera force closes (will not open through physical button or through application shortcut). I'm downloading the ROM again and will flash. (I format my SD card, reset, wipe data/cache/dalvik).

edit 1: coming from CM 7 (12/24)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
thats why I didnt post it in the op :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] masterhoss56:
:) I am the guinea pig! excited to run MTD flavor of your ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
When you place your rom on a domain entitled instabrick.me almost makes me scared to flash it (almost)! Lol ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Here is a camera.apk to push to /system/app/ for a fix: http://instabrick.me/marcusant/camerafix/Camera.apk

Some apps don't like optimization...
[Epic 4G Android Development] masterhoss56:
sweet! thanks man.

camera works as normal. Now I'm torn with the recently fixed CM 7 AOSP camera/camcorder and the TW camera/camcorder (both have pluses and minuses).
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Version with fixed camera is now on the server:

EDIT: Might drop bml support- what are your thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tkoreaper:
If the only difference between BML and MTD is the extra system space, is it really needed? I mean it's not like we need more, at least I don't. Staying BML at least allows you to go back to stock easier.
[Epic 4G Android Development] masterhoss56:
I vote yes. I assume people will switch between CM7 and other MTD ROMs.

May not be relevant, but Sprint/Samsung have 1 more official BML ROM for the Epic 4G though (update without CIQ, right?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
MTD allows support for ICS and is open source. Everybody should convert.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robalboa:
I would wait until a fully functioning bug free version of mtd is available. Plus sprints releasing a new update that's totally carrier iq free plus a few fixes that weren't addressed in ei22.

Legendary 2.1 scrollable mod

camera 15% shutoff mod

shadow 1.0.3+
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
i say drop the BML support. We are rapidly approaching the natural end of its life and I personally would love to see more focus on the MTD platform. Just my opinion. I love what you do for me and my phone. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] tkoreaper:
Yeah, but only because ICS is bigger and we'd require more room. What about the Kernels available to MTD ROMs? Aren't they lacking when compared to the ones used for BML.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
Does this backup/restore data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
I think it's still to soon to drop bml. At least give us v2 bml. Please. ! Pretty please!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Those on v2. How are the fixes working? Less reboots? Hotspot work on 4g?
[Epic 4G Android Development] masterhoss56:
so far so good (no reboots). I have not tested tethering.

Oddly, GPS lock within Google Navigation is simply not happening for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
If you have GPS issues, try deleting /system/init.d/somethingtodowithgps
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
4g works and wifi, just not together. Running it now for an hour. But feels like it is running pretty warm
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
No go with gps either. Will try to delet file and let you know.

Okay.... deleted file and no change. B ut other than that, every thing else seems to be very smooth and stable. B ig thanks for all your hard work even through the holiday.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tkoreaper:
I don't even have a system/init.d folder.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
You need to have script manager or something similiar to open the zip and get in there to delete. You can get that from the market
[Epic 4G Android Development] tkoreaper:
No, there really is no init.d folder on my phone or in the ROM's zip file. I'm using root explorer with it set to show hidden files and there's no such folder.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuckenheimer:
How to revert to original wall paper and boot animation

I can get there from here but not back on either. How?

Also, I'm running shadow kernel 1.03+OC and wanted your opinion of Assassin's newest.

Finally, what version is the latest of your rom?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
Long-term MTD support is the way to go, but I think one more BML version couldn't hurt. If you have time to maintain both, that is. Lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Sorry, it is /system/etc/init.d
[Epic 4G Android Development] ippikiokami:
:( GPS isn't working even after deleting that file and rebooting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
If you guys want bml, it isn't hard to find by messing with the download link for mtd ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
What do you mean? There is no v2 bml link. Is the there a bml option in the mtd version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Probably just edit the web address.
[Epic 4G Android Development] HanMan5000:
What the f*@# Swype was working fine for me. That's all I use... =.=
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
so does the ICS theme work with the MTD version of this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
Ics themes will only work if they are mtd versions. Or atleast from everything I have read and understand. Some please correct me if I am wrong. But the thread on understanding mtd vs. Bml is a great thread to read.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
I just figured since all the themes that are out at the moment were created when bml was the main thing that they somehow might not work on MTD roms. Im not a dev by any means.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
New samurai fixes stuff. Flash it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] HanMan5000:
Please put back the Swype.

I need it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eigerzoom:
marcus can i update from mtd v1 to mtd v2 and restore data or system?

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
Yes. It will flash and will take no time at all. It works great. I haven't had a reboot since updating
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
Why don't you just add the Swype Beta in yourself?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Does it exist or doesn't it? and why does it have to be a game? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It is a test build. Untested. Replace MTD in the download link for the mtd one with broken camera with bml then push the fixed camera apk.

Running mtd v2 w/samurai warrior mtd. All is well except:

- Bluetooth finicky but I can't find any ROM that isn't

- GPS issue also. After 2-3 reboots its fine

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ruhai Hu:
So curious... besides when for next one... i know it will come out eventually.

What kernel does the v2 mtd run by default?

Is there still battery full notification that wakes screen?

Should I wait?

v1 pretty stable besides the dang soft reboots. Which seem to be getting worse, over time, and more often, have to do a proper reboot or shutdown at least once a day.

Happy Christmas, holidays, etc. and thanks :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
okay, thans for the correction. I thought that i had read that wasn't possible to mix a bml theme on a mtd rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lancelot916:
i dont know if anyone else has this issue, it's not Marcusant ROM specific. In the last 3 ROMs I flashed, the quadrant scores have halved. Last 3 ROMs are GBclean, Stock-ish MTD, and now Marcusant v2 MTD. Quadrants for all these are 1400-1600, OCed to 1200/1300.

Prior to this I had Marcusant v1 and then Lengendary RC 2.2 with Quadrant of 3200+.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
Quadrant scores don't really mean much. Have you noticed any lag in your actual phone operation?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
There were some tweaks in the old kernels that artificially increased quadrant scores by manipulating the io file reads/writes portion of the quadrant scores. What really matters is real world performance. If it feels good it is good. The old tweaks made the combined scores artificially high. On my phone the smoothness suffered because of the tweaks.

I Loaded v2 BML version: Heres the link for anyone else that wants it: http://instabrick.me/marcusant/MarcusantROM-v2_BML.zip

The camera doesn't work but marcus posted this Camera.apk a few pages back. You'll have to push it using Root Explorer. http://instabrick.me/marcusant/camerafix/Camera.apk

Everything seems to be working well. I will continue testing and report back.

Marcusant... I love your ROMs. It's not that I don't want MTD...I do. But I can't afford a major crash, i run a business thru this phone, it's gotta be stable or I can potentially lose thousands of $$$$. ;)

I do have a few FCs and the gps problem but otherwise glad I moved! Was on Frozen before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
On v2 bml version, everything seems to be working very well, including GPS. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Probably update script problem...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Marcus, thanks for allowing me to test your BML version v2 its working flawlessly.

one thing I've noticed and I'm not sure whats going on. If i download something it doesn't seem to go in the sd/downloads folder. If i run a search thru root explorer for the file I've downloaded it doesn't turn up either. So I'm not sure whats going on there, if the files are even downloading, bizarre. I can still move files from my computer and put them on the sd card and find them fine. strange. I'm gonna try downloading a few more files thru my phone and see what I come up with.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eigerzoom:
gps still no go here

android.phone fc's
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
It must of had something to do with the source. Because it's downloading fine now,and the files are going in the download folder on the sd card. :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Kudos to you marcusant! Your mtd rom is great minus the gps problems... been working on mine for about 2 weeks solid and just can't quite get it right... great job! Running mine right now but its incredibly laggy and just not up to par yet... Hopefully I can figure this out and get mine running properly!
[Epic 4G Android Development] carsalbuja:
I can tell on mine big time it is a lot slower than my asc 5.5 but. Seems as battery life is lasting longer. Spoon ill take the trade LOL.

Anyone got swipe to workk??? Pleaseeeee!!! I'm going insane with no swype. I downloaded the other 2 apps from the market and still not working . Is like my system won't recognize it. Extracted swype from other acs and shanke n bake theme and nothing ! Any other ideas? I'm on v2 bnl or whatever by the way lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
The main quadrant score inflator is the mounting of ext4 /data partitions with the "noauto_da_alloc" option. This mount option will give you an instant 500+ point quadrant score boost; from a stock default of about 1700 to 2200+. The drawback to this option is that it can lead to zero length files in the case of power loss, even with journaling enabled, which as you might imagine, can lead to data corruption issues.

Without the option, ext4 performs no better than RFS, which is why I stopped making an ext4 version of my ROM and settled on RFS only.

The yaffs2 filesystem, which I'll assume is just as or more reliable than RFS also happens to perform similarly to RFS, so MTD ROMs are typically going to score in the 1600-1700 range in quadrant.

When us ROM developers start moving to MTD and Yaffs2 we will surely start hearing cries from the peanut gallery about crappy quadrant scores. :(

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

BTW, I came to this thread, not to take about file systems (I get sidetracked easily), but to say that the red theme on this ROM is really nice.

Did you try TouchPal from the Market. I actually prefer it to swype. Heres a link for qbkings review:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1371907&highlight=touchpal
[Epic 4G Android Development] yoxboxyo:
Is it ok to post the swype.apk I have working on this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
You folks who are complaining about Swype are being very disrespectful. Marcusant is working hard to get this to run with the best performance and if Swype isn't working right, then it's coming out for right now. There are alternative keyboards out there, or go look for the apk, instead of hounding Marcus. That is all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
And that last post wasn't directed at you yoxboxyo
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
@marcussant: I think your ok to post the BML v2 in the downloads link...this thing is fantastic. Just insert the camera apk in the rom and let it out. It's beautiful.

I've got it running with the samurai 3.3.0 ninja and its snappy and stable up to 1400 mhz on my phone and my phone is not the greatest overclocker here. Battery life is also pretty awesome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
This is new, my phone starts to get real laggy, I notice gallery,xda app, and camera won't work. Everything else seems to. So I check my ram to see if it is almost maxed out and I see it has actually dropped down to like 140's to low 150mb's. It is usaully at 190-200mb. So I reboot, and my battery percentage jumps up 40%. This has happened twice. The reboot doesn't appear to fix the lag or app problems. They just kinda work them selves out. Not sure what is going on but hope it makes sense to you. Running v2 MTD. Have reflashed rom and sammi kernal with nochanges

Love your work thank you

edit.... this problem only happens while charging.

So has anyone gotten the GPS working and no force closes on the phone.apk?

If you have can you please let me know where you got the files to fix it?

Got the phone.apk working !!!!!!!!! :) , I extracted the phone.apk from my old ics 5.5 rom and replaced with the one on this one. I did it all thru root explorer and no reboot required ! . My gps works fine so I haven't mess with it sorry guys... how if I can only get swype to work :p

Edit : crap this fix is for BMl my bad!
[Epic 4G Android Development] tkoreaper:
It was said before by Marcusant that the optimizations messed up some stuff.. GPS and Phone being some of them.

He said to push a phone.apk from another ROM to fix the force closes.

Those that want Swype can install it themselves. I personally do not care for it as I mainly use the hardware keyboard.

when I first flashed the MTD rom I got fc's from the phone, after I installed the ICS EI22 theme I got no more fc's from the phone. GPS is borked.

LOVE my phone again :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
Edit

I just tried to flash an EI22 theme. Minimalistic black, and it didn't do anything. Do I need to reflash the rom, then theme before I reboot? I assumed it was the same clean install as BML
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Not quite the same for mtd... you need to mount system in cwm then flash the theme then unmount system then reboot...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
Okay will try that now. Thank you.

Btw the new sammi legends kernal seems to be a lot smother and snappier.

Edit....

So that was super easy. Thanks again. And it fixed my 4ghotspot hack. Still no gps.

Ok, did I miss something? I'm still on v1 bml (cause mtd for anything still sounds risky and overly complicated to apply [vids or links would be greatly appreciated if out really is worth swapping] for any rom really). Anyways, I keep getting reboots. It's making me crazy. I'm on v1 latest or second latest shadow kernel. Not overclocked past 1200, minimal if any uv. It's ram related.. It just slowly builds and builds til it crashes. Forgive me if I missed something.

I'm not fussin at marcusant, I love the rom! Everything works great it's just that problem. Oh, I do have ics theme too. Thanks guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
flash a theme or rom w/o the 10lock mod. I believe a fix was made but i know the original 10lock mod had a memory leak.

You missed the fact that there is a bml version of this rom. The link is in one of my posts from last night. There's also a camera apk that has to be pushed for the camera to work properly. That's also in my post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Mtd is not hard to apply at all... just flash just like any other rom. Now going back is a little harder but still not complicated. Just download the stock ec05 and victory pit and odin back with autoreboot and repartition checked... simple... been doing it everyday for almost the last week trying things out and trying to compile and test my mtd rom out... easy as pie...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AFREaKA.Man:
marcusant,

I just wanted to say thanks for your great work. I'm running v2 mtd (just installed it today) and so far everything seems really good and snappy. I'll need more time to test it out but I'll let you know if I see any issues. So far, the only issue I know of is that the gps is completely broken, but I'm sure that you're working on getting that fixed. Once you do, this rom will be awesome. I do have a question, does 4G work on this rom? Unfortunately, I don't have it at home so I won't be able to try it until later in the week. Thanks again for your help and for putting this together!

Im not sure if anyone has tried this or not to fix the gps. I know it was a fix for an old ViperRom version i used forever ago. All you needed to do was go into the hidden menu and reset the phone to default using the MSL code. this didnt send you to a stock rom it just reset it so make sure you backup with titanium and such.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshag:
Few questions:

I'm that guy that likes to flash new kernels. I'm taking it that I have to run a MTD kernel now that I'm running this rom. No biggie even though I'm a fan of the shadow kernels which aren't MTD yet.

Which kernels can I use on this? CM7 or TW? (Sad to say I don't know the difference)

Also.. I can't get back into recovery.. reboot to recovery from the phone just reboots the phone. Shutting the phone down and doing a 3 finger boot like normal just cycles the phone at the samsung logo. Should I ODIN a new version of recovery over top of it? Any suggestions on which to run with? I'm running purple.

If I decide to go back to the acs ics (my favorite rom - really liked 5.1) I just odin 22 or 5 and then up to 22 and I'm good to go?

Thanks for the replies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Try letting go of the buttons after you see the samsung logo and that should get u into cwm... and samurai has an mtd tw kernel out that is top notch... give that a shot... and I also STRONGLY recommend flashing the new cwm 5.0.2.7... it is the newest version... 3 ways that I know to do this are to odin the .tar, flash the .zip in cwm or download rom manager (we are officialy supported now) and flashing within rom manager... and yes to go back to a non mtd tw rom you must odin back to stock ec05 and reroot from there or update to ei22 and root that and then reflash your favorite rom...
