Finally Made the Jump!

Finally took the plunge and installed 1.05 MTD, coming from 1.03 BML. Wiped all and also backed up then formatted the SD card, installed flawlessly. Have only been using it a few minutes, but it is performing fantastically, as expected. Just working on redownloading the apps and restoring some of the app data for them. Toad, you're the man! Keep up the awesome work, I wouldn't use any other rom.

Thanks!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
As the FAQ states, the boot animation is in the framework-res.apk. When you flashed the theme, you replaced that file, so there is no way you can get it back other than to modify the framework-res.apk (it consists of two png files) of the theme you flashed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Don't really have any plans for that kind of stuff, and don't have any recommendations. I just use the default.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
Maybe this is the wrong thread for this, but since it happened to me using this ROM I thought I'd ask here first -

I went to CleanGB-MTD 1.0.4 from a BML rom. Flashed the zip using CW5 recovery. ROM works great. Thanks so much for your work, toad!

I then installed ROM Manager and selected EpicMTD and 3.x recovery from it's menus. Decided to use it to update to CleanGB-MTD 1.0.5 ... it gave me a soft brick. Used Odin to get my phone back and I can now see that the MD5 for the zip of CleanGB-MTD 1.0.5 on my sdcard (downloaded via ROM Manager) does not match the MD5 listed in the OP.

Is the zip in the OP intended to be the same as the zip downloaded via ROM Manager? I would imagine so, but figured I'd ask. Assuming that it is, I'm then left to assume that ROM Manager fails to match MD5's before it installs something. Can that be right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Yeah, the zip that ROM Managers downloads the same zip that is in the OP. I will download the zip right now and check the md5 - it's possible that I pasted the wrong number. I'll check it out later.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
No. You've got the right number pasted in the OP.

I downloaded the zip from the OP, transferred it to sdcard via USB cable, then used Root Explorer to verify the MD5 in the OP matched. So that's not at issue.

Either ROM Manager's not checking MD5's (correctly? at all?) or my zip was somehow altered after it was downloaded.

EDIT: My ROM Manager download was done over a 4G connection, not wifi. So it shouldn't surprise me that the download got borked. What does surprise me is that it would appear that ROM Manager didn't catch the bad download.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Thank you for checking it for me. ROM Managers don't check md5 values at all, it just downloads the file via http, so if the download was corrupted or truncated, but still was able to be extracted by CWM, I could see how you could end up with non-booting phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
That's interesting. If that's the case then there is zero chance of me using anything like ROM Manager in the future unless and until there is some kind of verification step added to the process. Not having it presents entirely too much room for error.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
I agree. There is really no excuse for ROM Manager not checking md5 values. The value could easily be put into the manifests by ROM makers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Has anyone used shadow kernel with this ROM?

I like the color and brightness from Toad's Kernel, and was wondering if anyone found a matching set of color settings that replicate his brightness and color scheme.

Reason for this is for those who would use a kernel governor. Hope this is the right place for this question...?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Milkman00:
Each time I reboot my phone, it seems to lose all record of any and all apps that are installed on the SD card. Any ideas? Each time I reboot, it is graceful (full power down).
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
How long do you wait? Some launchers have to reset themselves after the media scanner is done. I have had to wait up to 5 minutes and even reset Zeam occasionally. I also moved all apps on my homescreen to the phone to speed things up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Milkman00:
I will try to wait longer. I tried less than a minute after the media scan.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonsf:
I've had to wait a long time too. I got in to the habit of putting everything possible on the sd card, but now that we have more space because of MTD, I may have to rethink that strategy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Toad,

Do you have something comparible to the V6 SuperCharger Installation Script installed in your rom? Do you advise using it if not?
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Personally, I don't believe that those types of tweaks make a difference in ROM performance (never seen any proof), but if you want to use them, I also don't think they would hurt anything. My kernel (and shadow kernel) both support init.d scripts which I think it what the supercharger scripts use, so if you want to install it, go for it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Thanks for the quick response and candor, I will follow your lead and stay away from them then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
I don't presume to answer for toad but I think that is the stuff he is referring to when he states in the op that those who are into bleeding edge/ricer roms should look elsewhere.

This rom is focused on stability over speed and tweaks.

That said if you are into that stuff I am sure there is no better base to add to than this rom, but ymmv and I doubt toad is going to be supporting any tweaks like that which run counter to the philosophy of the rom.

- Jason
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Those tweaks don't do *#%$. We already have 500mb of ram which is enough and android has good task killing already. The tweaks don't effect cpu and are made for slower devices like the Droid with low ram. You should only use them if you notice launcher restarts and stuff like that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] diptenkrom:
i am using this rom with shadow tw mtd 1.0.4 and i like it very much so far. seems much snappier and smoother, as well as having more room to store apps. i am glad i chose to give this a try instead of loading the stockish mtd rom.

it seems to be running very well. everything i have done has worked well and i came from stocky-ish ei22 BML with shadow tw 1.0.4+.

i personally like the color from shadow, and as i have the same wallpaper as before, i did not like it with the stock kernel in the rom. it looked washed out to me, i like the darker look, and have not changed the color settings from the defaults in shadow. i will say that the phone seemed to have better battery on the CleanG3 kernel than with shadow. but i have been playing with it a lot and have not tested under "normal" circumstances. the only reason i changed kernels was so that i could have voodoo sound, as i hook my phone up to the stereo in my car and the boosted line out makes a noticable difference.

toadlife - great work and i think that this is the best looking/running roms that i have had the pleasure of running!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dewey1973:
That awkward moment when you come running back to CleanGB after running off to CM7 and realizing that CleanGB is the best ROM since plapczyn's Nebula ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
LOL .... CM7 is nice , but CleanGB-MTD is BETTER ( IMHO ) ;)

Backup from ROM Manger Failing

I don't know if this or something else is the cause but if you open ROM Manager and tell it to do a backup, it reboots and then errors out when it tries to start the backup on boot.bin. If you try to start it after it fails it fails again. If you go to "Reboot Recovery" and try and start it or 3-finger boot it into recovery it works fine. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Also check your email for some stuff for the next build.

---------- Post added at 04:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------

You would think in a big long post like that you could give the guy who pointed out and helped you fix it a little credit instead of taking it all for yourself :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
After switching to MTD, you have the install CWM again from ROM Manager and select Epic4G (MTD) instead of Epic 4G and then select CWM 3.x. After that, backups will work.

Sorry, I added you to the changelog...and I'll go back and find that post and add you there too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmanp84:
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but if I'm on a phone call & the volume is too loud, I can't use the volume rocker to adjust the volume while the screen is blacked out/up to my ear (i have small ears, like will smith...)...only when the screen is visible/the light sensor detects light will it adjust the volume. I remember on froyo it didn't work like that, & I'm not sure if pure stock GB works like that? Any thoughts on why that is?

[Epic 4G Android Development] monke30butt:
Yes I agree....I use Launcherpro & before I installed CleanGB MTD it would take more than 5 minutes for the boot to complete. I had a failing SD & replaced it with a 16GB Classs 10 when I switched to this ROM. Now it completes boot really fast, still lags for a time after media scan, but start to finish is a small fraction of the time it used to be.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

I am having the same issue (minus the small ears :-) , but I am on CleanGB MTD version 1.0.3, planning to update in the next few days. Thanks for all the great work Toad!!!

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

I have the paid version of Voodoo Control & I have no problems using Voodoo sound on the stock CleanGB kernal. The app I am using asks when it loads if I would like to "load sound driver". This is not a perm change, but you can choose to load the driver at boot if you wish. I only load it when I want to bump the volume levels, otherwise I leave it turned off.

I don't know if this will help, but thought I would share the info......
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmanp84:
I'm on 1.0.5...still have the same issue....not too sure if it's an issue or just an intended change. I don't know s&@# about creating roms, kernels, etc, but is there a way to change that back?
[Epic 4G Android Development] n2mschf:
So I read through a good amount of pages and I could not find this problem. I'm on CM7 and I flashed this (and Marcusants v3) to try and update my PRL and modem but I Get mad fc's and "process.android.acore has closed" and "com.samsung.something or other had closed". I had no dialer or contacts. I Googled it and the only fix that I could relate to it was to unsync and reboot. Didn't help... happened on both ROMS, any idea what happened?

[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
When you move between CM7 and TouchWiz ROMs you have to clear your data. The core programs between the two versions are completely different and will cause tons of FCs if you don't wipe your data first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] n2mschf:
Thanks so much for your fast reply, I'll try that tonight when I get some free time. I use ROM Manager so I just select the wipe data option? I wiped dalvik but I didn't wipe data.

That's the truth, I tried CM7 and went right back to CleanGB MTD in a matter of 20 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RyleyinSTL:
Thought I'd add my accolades for this ROM. I'm running CM7 at the moment but had to flash this to monkey with some chipset GPS settings and left it running for a few days. I was impressed, all the good with none of the bad. There are a few tweaks from CM7 that I missed but CleanGB was great. Thanks for your efforts Toadlife!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nyr35blue:
I love cleanGB and switched over to this one but for some crazy reason my phone is producing high pitched feedback sounds at times . It's crazy. Sounds like my phone has the distortion cranked up or something. Right now im in clockword mod and its not doing it. :confused:

No reboots since 1.0.5 release. Im using your kernel this time Toad. Thanks you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fab5valentine:
I've been running this ROM MTD for a day and over night while charging the phone shut off.. I thought it was a voltage issue so I bumped the min from 100 to 200 with SetCPU. However, this did this last week with Legondary as well.. The odd thing is that when it hits full charge and decides to shutdown while on the chager, when I turn it back on it has no juice and has to charge from 0%. Do you think I'm having a battery issue and need to replace it or could it be ROM oriented? BTW nice clean ROM!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Hmmmm .... I have NOT experienced that at all with this ROM , and since U mentioned it happened on Legendary as well , maybe it is your battery or your cable / charger ? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Integrated Logsprovider fix by default

.......

am i the only one that likes the logsprovider left stock?

now that im on 1.0.5 how can i get the old logs provider?

i like all that info showing up in my call logs.

thanks for any help.

a flashable .zip would rock

edit, bump..... anyone? i want my call/txt logs back.

great rom TL been on this rom since it came out.

flashed other roms, but i always come back to this one
[Epic 4G Android Development] tygern8r:
Since you asked..... I don't like my text and phone log combined. I text from the messaging app and make calls from the phone app. The two together seem cluttered.

Sorry I can't help with undoing Logsprovider fix, but I'm sure someone on here will let you know how to undo it. It seems to me that you should just be able to install the stock Logsprovider.apk, but I'm just guessing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] selfinfliction:
as usual, ty for the great rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Yeah, just get the stock logsprovider.apk and copy it into /system/app
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
sorry if this has already been asked but does this rom support the stock rom dialer codes like ##8778# for modem settings for ##DATA# for data settings. I am looking for an MTD rom that supports these as I am running the epic on virgin mobile and run cm7 by default but it would be nice if I can just switch to a somewhat stock rom while staying on MTD.

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:

USB Tethering / RNDIS

Thanks for this ROM -- it is fantastic!

The only problem I have encountered is with USB / RNDIS wired tethering. I can't get this to work with either the built-in option (Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Tethering) or the android-wired-tether project (the one on Google Code).

Has anyone else run into this problem? It's really pretty minor since wifi tethering works, but I usually prefer wired tether when it is working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] evilsock:
thanks!

can someone post the stock logs provider?

puhleeeze!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DonToolBag:

[Epic 4G Android Development] ziuchkov:
Interesting. Are you tethering with Windows? I'm on Ubuntu, so I wonder if it's a Linux-only problem, I've been seeing the following dmesg messages about CDC descriptors:

[56403.434102] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether

[56403.440398] usb 2-3: bad CDC descriptors

[56403.440998] usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host

[56403.456893] usb 2-3: bad CDC descriptors

[56403.456949] usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_wlan

Anyway, not very critical for me to have it working...just a convenience.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Sounds like you need to wipe and reinstall....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ziuchkov:
Just in case anyone else runs into this problem, it turns out the bug is already logged in Ubuntu's Launchpad (as bug #796006). The bug report contains a module patch that can be applied to cdc_ether.c.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
This might be my kernel causing this - I think I don't have RNDIS support built in. Try the shadow kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
It probably won't work with shadow yet either. Wired tether on linux is a known problem, and one of the things on my list to try and get working. I wouldn't get your hopes up that it would be soon though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Isira:
I remember seeing this "Auto/Dim/25%1$/50%2$/75%3$/100%" on BML 1.0.3 as well. Also, I always do clean installs. :p

Yeah, it's just a minor bug, but it just looks ugly haha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ziuchkov:
It sounds like the problem is two-fold:

1. The Samsung phones on Gingerbread are sending the following RNDIS info:

bobbyz@chimera:~$ sudo lsusb -v

<SNIP>
CDC Union:
bMasterInterface 4
bSlaveInterface 5
<SNIP>

Apparently Froyo reported bMasterInterface of 0 and bSlaveInterface of 1?

2. The linux cdc_ether code only expects the above CDC Union info of 0/1 and will only register the USB ether interface under these conditions.

So it sounds like it can be approached by patching either or both...present the same CDC Union info as was presented in Froyo and/or patching the mainline kernel CDC ether code to understand/tolerate the CDC Union info that is sent under Gingerbread.

Anyway, I'm *not* too informed on the matter...I have a development background, but no experience developing Linux kernel mods.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Epicnole:
Please forgive me if this is a noob question but I am going to ask it any way.

Since the new EL30 update is out, I assume we have to odin back to the BML version of GB to update then we convert back to the MTD CleanGB, Correct?

Can this ROM be updated to EL30 by Toadlife then released as CleanGB-MTD 1.0.6?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
your first part is correct .... gotta wait for second part for now
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonsf:
I believe the only thing from EL30 that we'd retain after reflashing CleanGB is the EL30 modem. Everything else would be CleanGB 1.0.5. Hopefully Toad will update CleanGB with any benefits provided by EL30.

Update: I'm now back on CleanGB 1.0.5 after updating my modem to EL30.

I have my own kernel out of desire to have as much control over the ROMs contents as my ability allows (read: control freak :p). My kernel is not optimized for anything in particular. If I had to say, I would say stability as it contains a WIFI patch that fixes spontaneous reboots. Two features which my kernel doesn't have that many other kernels have are Voodoo Sound and Voodoo Color. I haven't added them out of apathy.

Other MTD kernels should work fine with my ROM.

Just in case your downloaders are confused, you posted the 1.0.1 ROM in a .1 extension, simply because there wasn't a .zip at the end. You might wanna correct that, lol.. I don't think CWM is gonna wanna flash a .1 file onto your partitions. :P

Well, I've got the old download, renamed the extension, flashed, and running. I did have a question, though..

Why are there no live wallpapers? If you took them out, could you post a flashable or possibly an apk of them, so users can pick and choose for themselves? :p

And also, I can just flash your new GPS fixed kernal thru CWM, correct?
