It's the ASOP calculator, but I like the stock one better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Rather than flashing the zip that uninstalls the themed Google Music which replaces it with Stock Music Player, Install this apk and have both. It's the stock Samsung player pulled from a stock ROM and has a custom icon so you can tell the difference between the two apps. I'd give credit to the user who modified the apk but I can't remember where I got it. Install with any package installer such as Easy Installer. Maybe it can be added to the next version of the Rom. I'll see if I can track down who posted it here on XDA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I had a snow day off here in Seattle today so I flashed the Rom again today. Yes, I know we are woosies up here when it comes to snow, but since I drive 52 tons of truck for a living I'm glad not to be out in it. This Rom looks sick and I'm loving it so far. The only black text on black background I've found is in app popups as Rujelus says and long pressing the options highlights the text so that's not a big issue at all. I haven't been able to get Go Locker to work with the Lockscreen mods but I don't care about that either so I uninstalled it. I installed the stock music apk that I posted so now I have the music controls on my lockscreen again. I need that since I use a car dock in my 32 wheeler. My new favorite ROM and since it's only been up for a few days now that says a lot about the dev's talent. Nice work!

Can you add the TW calander widget, and the stock alarm clock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wutafobbb:
I second that. Also, I'm sure this has been mentioned, but a 4G widget, or an icon on the drop down notifications bar. Other than those, this is an excellent rom. I love the transitions, the theme, everything.

Many thanks!

is there a crt off anim?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wbyrd:
My battery is getting murdered today. Been off charger for four hours and I'm at 29%, I'm usually off charger for at least 12 hours before I get this low. Battery usage is showing display at 57% and CPU spy shows the phone is not going in to deep sleep. The only thing I am noticing is the little sync icon is displaying in the notification bar and won't go away, even after a reboot.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thatdudepoops:
I noticed when charging it stays at 200 MHz...makes it hard to do anything. wont go up when I change ondemand, noop, cfg, they all do nothing to change the clocking...

Has anyone else tried a hands free activation on this rom? I went back to my el26 modem and was gonna run it (##72786#) and nothing happens after I do. Haven't disabled updates or anything. Anyone else?

Can't get into Wimax and 3g settings by dialing ##data# either. I don't know what causes some Roms to disable the dialer functions and some don't but it would be swell if this could be fixed. I've never tried it but I guess the Any Cut app will work to get into those settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryno23:
I love this rom but I am not receiving any texts. Is anyone else having this problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
It does not work though. With the ics animations the power off animation makes the screen flip any time the phone is locked in landscape. I am trying to get them to play nice together though.

Not really sure what you did here. I always run mine over clocked to 1.456 and it never gives me an issue. What are you using to edit it? Unless you change kernels the only way to overclock/undervolt is with Tegrak.

Can you see what is syncing. Seems like you have an app stuck syncing

So here are the request I have gotten so far. I will start on making add-ons this weekend

TW calander widget

Alarm Clock

Digital clock widget

Modified camera (To take pics while on the phone)

Visual Voicemail

Stock calculator

Touchwiz (mmmmmmmmmmm)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Alot of people have been asking for stock apps, Venum has a zip posted on the first page of his VCS rom with all the el29 apps. I'd suggest just downloading it to your sdcard so if you want an app just push it to the system/app folder, fix permissions(rw,r,r) and reboot. Done :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wbyrd:
I think I figured it out. Looks like Google+ was syncing every picture on my phone. I used TB to freeze it and the sync icon went away, phone cooled down too. I checked my G+ account and there are a ton of pictures there now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
They are requesting because I am going to theme those apps to match my theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I think the point of the request was to have rujelus theme the stock apps, but your method is good if someone needed those apps are immediately.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Yup, themed is awesome, just sounded like some were really stressing without the apps at all. But, of course, themed is better :) thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Did a little research on the disabled dialer commands. Consensus on the forums seems to be that it must be a custom dialer since the commands still work on a themed stock dialer such as the one Ovetstew uses on his ICS theme. Been playing with Any Cut and made an "Extensions" shortcut to change Wimax settings but couldn't figure out a shortcut to change Sprint's proxy settings. Anyone know how to do that? Rujelus; Can you confirm it's a custom dialer and if so, any chance you can theme the stock dialer so we have our dialer commands? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
It is the stock dialer themed from caulk's stock EL29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rb3:
I thought I had heard it is a file or something that gets stripped out when a developer strips a rom down to bare bones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
That is most likely it. I am going to be working on this this weekend so hopefully I can fix that.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rb3:
Thanks for all your work on this rom. I love how in depth the theme is throughout the rom. It's running super fast for me even underclocked to 800 mhz.

And I will agree with a few others that I would like to have the stock music and clock themed for this rom. No biggie but I like the music controls on the lockscreen and all third party alarms I've tried seem quieter than the stock one did.

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Sounds like its the EPST.apk that allows dialer codes. Just a heads up if you already didn't know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Cool. Sounds like you're on the right track. Calkulins dialer isn't themed but I applied several themes to it and the dialer commands still worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Sorry but my post was incorrect. The screen off animation toggle is in Menu, settings, lockscreen settings, overall UI settings

How about google currents, can that be themed?

I've also been experiencing quite a few hot reboots, I haven't really change much settings or anything.

Maybe it's just me and won't happen in the next update.

Kind of it was HiddenMenu.apk it will be fixed in the next update.

My previous Rom was Calkulin's. I flashed team Venums ICS Domination theme on it which has the AIO mod baked in. I could take pictures with the volume rockers with that setup. Push and hold button to focus, release it to snap the picture. It's a sweet feature to have. I don't care if I can take a pic while talking on the phone or when my battery is below 15%, but I would love to see it on my new favorite Rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TimidRat:
This is so beautiful, black and light blue, simple, and amazing, this is exactly the kind of rom i wanted for my phone, now if only MagnusRagnarok would start creating roms for the E4GT i would be so happy. This kinda reminds me of the Warm series on the Evo's, but blue instead of green.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mark.J.Linskiy:
Main reason why I want the stock MMS is because I often use the slide to call feature. I know you can call while viewing the SMS, but it isn't as convenient.

I'm not sure if ICS has it, but I really would like to have the stock themed. Hope that will still be an option and isn't too much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TimidRat:
After using it for a little while now, i really can't believe how much it reminds me of Magnus's rom's, you two should really work together. I'm really loving this rom more every second, i really have to say thanks again, i love this rom so much.

I don't know if there is a setting to change this that I'm not finding, but when I take a picture with the phone in the vertical position then share it via text message, it sends the photo with the top of the picture to the left.

I found some black on black in the app Alarm Clock Plus. If I send you the apk can you theme it?

** EDIT ** I can live with the black on black, but if you get bored let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
A lot of third party apps do that. He already said he would theme a bunch of stock apps that many of us like and already use, including the stock alarm clock and digital clock widget. Just sayin

Alright guys im currently on Blazer rom but having some odd issues here, like the clock doesnt keep up the time (no idea wtf is up with that) and text messages not being sent until hours later or even days later some times (which again is weird, and i dont have this issue on stock). So Im thinking ill switch over to this rom. What if any are the biggest issues with this rom? id pretty much nothing then im jumping on board :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pward90:
Hey,

I just wanted to check about a few issues I came across when attempting to run CyanogenMod on my Galaxy S2. This is what I did:

I rooted the phone no problem and followed the guide closely just incase I messed things up. I backed up through Kies and also through SMS Backup & Restore, and Call Backup & Restore and copied all the files in the Phone folder manually through MTP.

To root, I used GT-I9100_XWKI4_insecure.tar and post-root, I reloaded GT-I9100_XWKI4_original.tar back onto the device.

Now comes where I ran into my first problem.. I followed the guide from the CyanogenMod Forum to put CyanogenMod onto the device, I (thought) backed up everything fine using Clockwork Mod (but it must have failed and I didn't notice as there was no backup available when I needed it). After attempting to load update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS2-signed.zip, my S2 wouldn't go past the boot-screen and just sat there until powered off when I tried to restore the backup which wasn't there as I said.

Left with no backup and a device that wouldn't boot, I loaded the S2 with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-v4.1-CWM4.tar and installed Litening_Rom_v6-1 which I am currently on but due to countless issues with it, I would like to either successfully load CyanogenMod or go back to stock firmware. I have tried to load CyanogenMod a few times but just reverted back to a NANDroid backup I made of Litening_Rom_v6-1 as I always ran into the issue of it not loading past the boot-screen.

Does anyone know what I may have done wrong for CyanogenMod not to run?

Also, in the meantime until I get it working, I would like to return to Stock Firmware. I have found GT-I9100_O2U_I9100XWKJ1_I9100O2UKJ1_I9100XXKI4.tar.md5 and Kernel_I9100XWKJ1.tar.md5 and don't know where to put them in Odin when flashing the device. I assume that the ROM goes into Phone and the Kernel goes into PDA, but I would like confirmation of this before I mess about with it.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Peter

[HTC Amaze 4G] g1user101:
i might be trading my s2 for a amaze. can u guys tell me the goods of this phone? whats it better than s2? i dont want "just cuz you have a amaze u like it better". i want some real reasons ha.

is ics coming to this phone ota? or custom rom?

build quality?

battery life?
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I was debating between the two when I updated, and I went with the amaze. Felt better, looked better, better camera/video, and I liked the screen better. Screen seemed smoother too. Only thing I don't like about it is the battery, it really does lose out in that category.

overall though, I liked the amaze better.
[HTC Amaze 4G] g1user101:
how about ics? whens that coming for amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
read an article some mfg's are bringing updates out very soon. depends who your provider is
[HTC Amaze 4G] g1user101:
im tmobile. you think ics will come out?

and r there any other things amaze has over the s2?
[HTC Amaze 4G] cmlough:
The phones are virtually identical in terms of hardware. The S2 will benchmark a bit better because of its lighter operating system but in terms of real world use, they're both fast phones.

You just have to ask yourself whether you prefer Sense or TouchWiz. Otherwise, go to a T-Mobile store and try playing with an Amaze and decide for yourself whether or not you like its build, how it feels, which screen you prefer, how important the camera is to you, etc.

Additionally, this phone may or may not ever attain S=off, so although flashing new roms is not difficult at all if you read, it is not as straightforward as it is with other devices.

In terms of an official ICS update, it's supposedly releasing early this year:

[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
I had the amaze for a couple weeks and now the s2 I can tell you its just a matter of personal preference. I preferred what the amaze has to offer over the s2, camera mainly so now I'm trying to find someone to trade with the s2 is a good phone a lot of people choose it over the amaze but to me the things it offers like screen, being thin, tw aren't what I want.
[HTC Amaze 4G] g1user101:
i can get trades for a amaze quick around my area. i wont have a external sdcard, so how will i flash the new recovery etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
i saw buy a externel sdcard thats the best there only like 10 bucks for 4gbs
[HTC Amaze 4G] thompsd:
Well I'm coming off the HD2 so it's like taking a big leap and in lots of ways the Amaze is just a better piece of hardware. One of the things I do miss is the phenomenal development that went on in the HD2, you name it and someone was working on it. I really like MIUI but so far it's not been ported.

I cant complain about the work here, damn these guys are good and the ROMS are incredible. I'm using the latest from Xboarder and cant think of anything that doesn't work and work well. Even the battery is good & lasts about the whole day with some pretty heavy road warrior usage. One thing I did was pick up the Anker battery and charger off Amazon, for $18 you get the charger and 2 batteries, I never worry about running out of juice, it's a good system.

I'm an HTC guy, I looked at the S2 but just liked the amaze better but it's a personal preference, they are both solid phones. I push this thing in ways I never thought possible and it just works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shirazir:
I'd not say the Amaze is going to blow your mind if you're coming from an S2 but HTC pays a lot of attention to detail and it really shows in this device.

The build quality, camera and Sense are all very refined and make for a rather polished device. Go for it :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] g1user101:
thanks ha. well is htc going to push out ics for amaze first then samsung?
[HTC Amaze 4G] darkphantom:
Thinking of picking this up too. I had 3-4 S2s and the screen issue is what killed it for me.

What are some options of extending the battery life via better roms/kernels? I know the synergy kernel for the s2 (t989) was amazing.

If the battery life is bad, I'd rather just wait for the next thing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kozlov8:
I have both the Samsung Galaxy SII and the amaze. Both are practically the same. I prefer HTC Sense over Samsung TouchWiz. The battery life is quite bad on the Amaze, the SII definitely has a better life. However, the resolution the galaxy is horrible for its size. Overall, both are great phones, it comes down to the UI.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 90teggy:
I gave up my sensation for the sg2 because I thought I had to have the sg2. As soon as I got home I was already disappointed. Could not get over how blue the screen was. The size was awesome but size is nothing if the color is poor. Touchwiz is gay, go buy a iPhone if you like it. Sg2 felt cheap too. Being my sensation was sold, I exchanged for amaze. Htc just plain and simple makes great phones. Coming from the sensation to the amaze was kind of a let down. Phone isn't any better except the camera and dedicated shutter button. The fact of no development with the amaze makes it rather boring. Waiting on ics.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
Everything on the software side of the SGS2 (blue tint screen, TouchWiz sucking) could've been fixed on XDA.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Babydollll:
I can't stand the 480x800 resolution on that 4.52in screen.... Also, it felt too light (SGSII)...

I have both the Amaze and the Sensation and I love them both. The Sensation has tons of ROMs and development. The Amaze has less development atm BUT the work that xboarder does IS OUTSTANDING. Plus, the camera is very nice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] g1user101:
thanks guys. but im a teen with no money for a sdcard. how will i like root ang get the new recovery on the phone without a sdcard?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ringochan:
Not to make you feel bad, but my teen daughter (14 years old), got a 16gb class 8 microSD as soon as she completed her small house chor. She needed the extra space so bad for storing the songs she wanted to carry around, and I was in a good mood for spending the few bucks it cost me.

In any case, you can do everything you're asking for without an sdcard. Go visit the [FAQ] or the [How to Root] threads and see for yourself.

By the way, I did buy both SG2S and the Amaze on the day it came out, and I am letting my wife use the SG2S. She thinks exactly the opposit. I feel lucky that she didn't chose the Amaze:D!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
I'm surprised your wife likes the SGS2, most females I know hate the phone or any with similar dimensions due to the phone being "too big" for their girly ass hands. Plus they're addicted to BBM anyways (ugh, BlackBerry) :P

The Amaze looks manlier in my opinon anyways :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Ya it 480X800, what were they thinking, the rezound is 4.3 inches with 720...just because its super amoled plus doesn't mean its a better screen. This is the biggest reason I exchanged mine for an amaze...I felt like I was holding a phone for visually impaired people!! I don't need everything to be that big...they could have used the real estate on the screen to build a really nice 720p super amoled plus... oh well... camera was not great...and the speaker phone was always muffled...I was very dissapointed from day one...only thing it has over the amaze is battery life!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Elloco305:
Reading this thread really has me taking a step or better yet a huge leap away from my wants for an SGS2.

Almost every review I have read made the Amaze come second to the SGS2.

I hated the blue screen crap on the SGS1 and always made fun of my friends for having a phone with a blue screen. But I really thought that wasn't the case with the SGS2.

I now want the Amaze but like everyone else has already stated. The development is very little.

And without development there are slight chances of ever seeing battery improvements. Right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
not true, once ICS is realeased dual core support should relieve the strain gengerbread puts on one core and you might see battery lifes of up to 40 percent better, faux's kernel and xboarders beast rom, can give you a much better battery life right now, sense UI can waste a lot of battery, beast rom will releive that by having most of sense UI removed and getting a true aaosp feel, which does dramatically improve battery performance.

One reason SGSII has better battery life is because touchwiz is a very light UI compared to sense and wastes less battery
[HTC Amaze 4G] g1user101:
ok guys. im getting my s2 back tomorrow. ima use it for 2-5 days and ill get the amaze. you guys made my decision to go on amaze side. thanks guys. and whens ics coming out for this device?
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Pros and Cons.

Well with the amaze the biggest feature is the camera. I was a little skeptical when I bought the phone but the camera is a life saver! All the apps really come in handy. Things like Action Shot which freeze the frame with ZERO blur! Sweep Shot which lets you get a panoramic picture which came in handy today on Florida St Pete Beach front! Clear shot so you get those awesome sunset pictures! The S II does rank higher on quadrant than the Amaze but that tell nothing on how it will perform in real world but I gave it to you because some people like the numbers. The HTC amaze has a Qualcom 1.5Ghz Snapdragon dual core possessor. Also you will always be up to date on the amaze because of the download speeds that beat the S2 3 fold. I hit about 30mbs in Tampa today. I love the user friendly HTC sense 3.0 UI as well it way more customizable in my opinion than the Samsung touchwiz. Another thing I like about HTC is the clock Widget its nice to wake up in the morning unlock your phone on a rainy day and be greeted by a raindrops on your screen and windshield wiper to wipe them away. Takes the guess work out of what your wearing the next day =P. Another thing that is really cool about the amaze is its front facing camera. I get almost the same quality is natural sunlight with it as the back camera. Your also going find it more appealing that the amaze has a 1730 mAh battery which is better than the S II so your looking at better battery. Not to mention if needed you can get Battery Defender which will increase it to a full day use. You are going to get a higher resolution display with the amaze but you wont get that Amoled that makes those colors POP with the SII. You will also get Android 2.3.4 with the amaze rather than 2.3 with the SII. Lastly the feature I love is the elegant body design of the amaze. The chrome finish is really classy! It give the phone a great in hand feel plus a more sturdy build. Go sum this all up Amaze 100% Hope this helps.

Best Regard,

Tramain Martinez
