Thanks. I'm gonna start playing around with some lib files and such. Good thing we have a custom recovery so I can restore just in case. I was messing with the files the other day and ended up taking my phone to Dr Odin lol

Willing to Sell my E4GT to Sbirssen

Hey. Is Sbirssen still needing to buy an Epic 4G Touch? I'm planning on selling mine. Moving to T-Mobile and getting a GSM Galaxy Nexus. I'm willing to sell and ship it to him. It's basically brand new (2 weeks old).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
I went ahead and restored all of the .so files I had removed from /system/lib/hw and left these that I lifted from the FB17 ROM:

gps.exynos4.so (this was here from the previous gps fix)

lights.SPH-D710.so

sensors.default.so

I don't see anything acting any better or differently. Was hoping I'd at least see some LED while charging but nope.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
he already has one coming i think
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
I've pushed the gps.exynos4.so file to the system/lib/hw folder and my gps still doesn't lock:( Anyone have a similar issue?

Running Alpha 3.1 with fb17 kernel and fb15 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] antgly:
Doesn't work for me either. The kernel might be the giveaway. The ones who it works for might be running the FB09 kernel that the ROM comes with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
did you reboot? do you get the icon? do you get an error message?

the kernel is irrelevant. i've used my GPS for hours since, flawless.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] antgly:
I rebooted my Epic Touch afterwards and nope, the GPS isn't working.

Also, in Maps, how accurate is your position? Because if it's not very precise then it's probably your AGPS just working well, not the actual phone GPS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
I've got the exact same setup as you and mine locks. But GPS Status and GPS Test don't show it that way. The icon appears in the top right and stops blinking, with the circle filled. Gpogle Maps doesn't say I should turn on gps to improve accuracy, so I believe that I have a lock, but the OS doesn't realize it.

Needs a real dev to fix it right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
+1. GPS logo shows in top left corner and inside dot flashes but it never locks. Also cleared AGPS in GPS Test app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
I've seen as good as 3meters error. It works great
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Likewise. I'm on the FB15 modem and the FB17 kernel. Used navigation for 2 hours yesterday (on the old kernel without recovery) and about 1.5 hours today with FB17. Worked perfectly.

Anyone not have the Google calendar sync at all? Mine won't for the life of me. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Did you wipe data after you installed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
Just the cache per instructions. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
i thought the instructions said to do a "Wipe Date/Factory Reset". Oh and GPS working great for me after pushing the files to my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phrac:
Yes, you need to wipe data/factory reset after flashing CM9 3.1 + GAPPS to get the calendar sync working.

I struggled with this problem as well and didn't get it working until I wiped data after flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Yes, rebooted multiple times and I do get the icon. GPS keeps searching and cannot get a lock :(

good morning all

so I flashed the fb17 kernel this morning, and it installed fine; only problem is, I still have stock recovery...How do we get a custom recovery on this guy?

I assumed flashing fb17 kernel would give us that..

NM, I guess if I would have flashed the proper file, I would have recovery!

fixed it, and all is good..

I know its not super custom by why not wait till a more stable alternative is avail ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
I had the issue where if i disconnected from wifi i would lose service before. After flashing it doesn't happen, however i still have to toggle airplane mode to get data working like any other AOSP build for this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
At work, I go from WiFi to 4G (by toggling WiFi on/off) all day long. When at home, I also go from WiFi to 3G because my office doesn't have good WiFi signal. I haven't had any LOS that I'm aware of.

I'm using Steady's FB17 1.2.1C kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
So, if I'm hearing you right you're saying that when turning off wifi (or 4g for me), you must toggle airplane mode on/off for data to return?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
No toggling airplane mode for you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:

Actually I'm on the EL29 modem. I flashed to the FB15 modem the other day and the first boot it said my battery temp was ~150 degrees Fahrenheit. It wasn't actually -- but it wouldn't let the phone charge. After a reboot, it seemed to go back to normal, but I don't trust it. lol

I also didn't notice any significant improvement or degradation of performance using the new modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
FWIW that's how I read your post too. It sounded like you were bagging on the people who are working so hard on this, asking them why they don't just use Calk's ROM until this is more stable.

is it related to the rom itself? cause I had to have had it before flashing fb17 kernel or else i wouldnt have my apps. So its flashing fb17 that i believe is the culprit right? from past experience I have normally followed suite for if you have a kernel outside of the one included in rom that i take my bugs and gripes to that other kernel's thread and inform their dev. So i think it's what I will do anyways and give this thread a breather again. btw thanks again @pathtologos
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Download Calk's FB17 ROM from the Dev section, unzip it. Connect phone to PC and:

adb remount

adb shell cp /system/etc/vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab.orig

adb push system/etc/vold.fstab /system/etc

adb remount

adb reboot​

Phone will reboot and you'll have your sdcard mounted as /sdcard/external_sd.

I hate nested mount points too so I'm glad the permanent fix will mount it as /emmc.

How bad is the battery life?

Is the phone still getting hot?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Phone is not getting hot. Check my post on the previous page for battery life. I forgot to put cpu on demand though. That helps a lot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
Steady's new Kernel fixed that.. and battery for me has been exceptional since flashing. I got no los all day yesterday and 22hrs with 2.5hrs screen on.. Android OS is really high though. I'm sure it should be fixed in the next release.

Ok great going to get started making my backup now. If the phone is not getting hot that is my main concern. Battery not so much.

So happy to finally get some ICS on this phone. Been flashing my gf nexus s 4g she doesn't even know how good she has it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
regarding SDcard, the problem right now is /mnt/emmc is not created upon boot, so there is no way for the system to mount the sdcard. (you can't mount to a non-existant path)

so for now you COULD..

Make the directory yourself (/mnt/emmc) & then pop your battery cover off and re-insert your sdcard.

just if you reboot, a rinse/repeat is required

its probably best just to wait for the next build =]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
This is also interesting.. When charging my phone charges extremely quick and does not get hot at all like it used to with TW roms.. Steady is the shiz!! Dont be alarmed after flashing the kernel you wont have a notification light at all even when charging.. No big deal though.

I use HTC charging cables as well.. I'm sure that has something to do with it.

Yeah been lurking in this thread for weeks now, as long as I can make calls stream radio and check email I'm good for now.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sanchez:
I'm running steady's new kernel and seeing 84% after 1:18 on battery, 51% android system usage, 1:09 keep awake time.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Big Popa's sd card fix works great for me, even after multiple reboots, and no fc's...make sure you fix the permissions on the file you bring over from Caulks Rom, as they are NOT the same

only 1 fc since flashing fb15 modem/steadys fb17 kernel, and fixed it by running Fresh Network from the market

battery life is fantastic for a Alpha rom, but you must change your kernel governor to on demand

phone does not get hot at all

Best ICS package out there right now, bar none...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
I don't see Interactive governor available. Can you please verify?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
Calibrate your battery! And remember after flashing a freshie give it time to settle and at least a couple charge cycles before judging battery life.:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Hate touch wiz too, so I am not interested in trying other roms, until we get some official releases...leaks are inherently buggy, so I don't need to deal with that..CM9, when installed properly, runs like a OE release pretty much, with just a few little hiccups

Sorry bro, you are right. I am using on demand governor..
