Dif between updating with/without FORMAT ALL

Since installing FC07 I was updating to the newer versions without wiping caches or using Calkulin's Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT.zip before running the new ROMs in CWM.

On 3/21/12 I was running the stock & rooted FC15 until Calkulin posted the latest which includes the Sprint Hotspot hack. After I installed v1.2 ICS FC18, everything worked fine except Sprint Hotspot which refused to connect to my Galaxy 8.9 Tablet.

Decided to try re-installing v1.2 ICS FC18 after running Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT.zip.

Voila! Not only is Sprint Hotspot now connecting instantly to my tablet, the overall ROm might be running a tiny bit smoother and faster.

Just posting this in case anyone else encounters abnormalities if you run the new ROM without first using FORMAT ALL beforehand.

Glenn :)

How to and review videos are compiling and uploading now :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dadoc04:
I havent seen Calk comment on it... but im sure he has seen/heard about it by now and will take care of it soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boxta:
Is anyone getting SOD again?

I updated to 1.2 FC18 from FC07 yesterday, and since then have 4 sleep of death, where it doesn't wake up from sleep. I had a lot of that back then, but seems to be much less on FC07

anyone having the same problem?? thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TBarb169:
From the OP "Important Notes - Due to how this ROM is setup, a wipe is recommended BEFORE flashing if coming from another ROM(use FORMAT ALL attached)

You must have a custom recovery to flash this ROM

If your are updating, then nothing extra is needed during flashing as the update script wipes what is needed, unless other wise stated in the change log

Be sure to do a backup before flashing and read the change log"

I have done just this, flashed the original "format all" when i first moved to this rom from a gb rom. Since then i have not done anything other than flash the new rom and modem (after a back-up) no wiping of any sort. I have not flashed a kernel either since Calk has included them in this rom. I have been problem free the entire time.

I have not tried the other ICS roms out there either. So for those with issues, it may be from bouncing around between roms and something not wiping correctly???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
is there a way to tell calk about the hard freeze when using camera and when phone has less than 15% battery.

it is not reliable option to use face unlock feature with this bug
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:
I was having same problems on blend ics Rom too. I got set cup and just hand it to 1200 seems fine now even at 15% bat. Think 800mhz is too slow for this phone on ics u know? Just my thought .

Also calc ! Can you add the hd support for the YouTube player? I had t on blend ics but even thought i have version 3.5.5 still just plans high quality and not high def quality
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
thank you for confirming that, i thought it was an issue with this rom, but I guess its an issue with FC18 build. Maybe I will roll back to calk v1.1 for now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0tes:
The stock email widget needs at least 5 columns to fit on the screen is why.

I'm using Nova Launcher to edit my dock, row and column count as some widgets need more than the defaults.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suddenincline:
I have flashed from fc07 e4gt v1.1 to calks fc18 v1.2 and had a strange exchange error when I opened anything flashed backup and went through flashing everything over again and worked great the second time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] douglaslem88:
Root Help

OK so am I stupid or what. I flashed V1.2 over V1.1 and somehow I lost root. Restored back to V1.1, did the format all, flashed V1.2 and lost root again. What am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
Not sure if this has been addressed, but there's a fix... What you need to do is Nandroid back to a GB ROM in which you had the GPS working. Nandroid to GB. Turn on the GPS. Let it get a solid lock. Now, LEAVE THE GPS ON and Nandroid back to ICS. GPS is happy. Works for me EVERY time. I know there are apps that fix this as well, but I'm not sure of the names...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radrian92:
This is true. I couldn't even multitask cause everything would freeze. Ended up removing some of the tweakes as well as using setCPU to clock it higher. Running like a champ now :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spider_Pig27:
Sobtonflash this we just wipe everything //// flash FORMAT ALL //// flash modem //// then flash latest build? Just want to make sure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mitchellvii:
Wow this has got to be the over-reaction of the century - lol. The guy made a very mild comment and wasn't slamming you at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guyver2077:
Read the last page or so and it seems the camera freeze has to do with low battery..ughh wish i knew that before...been tring so many diff things..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] live_in_the_sky06:
Thanks for the tips. Could you please tell how you did that and how to reset the permissions. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
This is for the person having there phone randomly go into car mode!!!!

I haven't had this problem I also haven't seen this issue reported much on the ics leaks it's mostly GPS,sod, no notification sound.Although I had an issue before where my phone was going into car mode on it's own and I would have to exit car mode I can't remember if I just flashed a new ROM release without wiping first or if I wiped first then installed the rom but I fixed the issue by wiping everything including user data and reinstalled the rom and haven't had the issue on any rom since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] linuxpir8:
only time ive had car mode randomly enable and not go away without a reboot is when using a busted charger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toleraen:
You'll need something that can mount the /system/app folder as R/W (eg Root Explorer or adb mount). It sounds like they were just cutting and pasting the mms.apk file in and out of the /system/app folder, and setting the permissions back to rw-r--r-- after. Tapping and holding on the file within Root Explorer will bring up menus to do both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MRMonaco:
I've noticed that mine occasionally did that in previous leaks regardless of the sleep setting being turned off. Haven't seen it yet in FC18.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
So far the copy/paste of MMS and setting permissions has worked for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Hot as a new iPad when running FC18 v1.2 ?

To all the children I might have fathered, I apologize if the heat from my Samsung phone just sterilized me.

In other words, after installing the latest FC18, my phone got REALLY hot on the back.

Recalling similar problems with a few prior ICS beta ROMs, I rebooted 3 times and now running normal/cool. PROBLEM SOLVED!

Speaking of heat, it seems Apple is getting some from people who bought the latest tablet. Somebody forgot to tell them that just because you spend $800 on a tablet doesn't mean you're entitled to get WiFi that works! I "LOL" every time I use my Galaxy Tab 8.9 which cost me HALF that price and automatically locks into the strongest WiFi signal every time and is working perfectly with the Hotspot hack in Calkulin's latest ICS ROM.

Glenn ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I think anyone who spends $800 on iCrap in free will need to see a shrink ASAP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
Didn't work for me...make a phone call and test it again see what happens
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
Flashed the rouge fc18 kernel and now my phone freezes when I try to open the camera .. Any ideas ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guyver2077:
Low battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
There's something strange about the notification sound bug..after a phone call sounds are gone, clearing the ram brings them back.. The weirder part is if I receive a text during a call I can hear the notification during a call..I'm not a Dev so I'm clueless but maybe that info can point someone in the right direction.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enfurno:
So, am I the only who is having issues with the Market failing every download?

How about the phone losing mount constantly so that I am unable to push new files to the SD card?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
Confirmed...notification bug reappears after makeing a call. This would be a deal breaker as a DD Rom for me. I think ima have to roll back to my Nandroid of FC07 :(

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

You are right! After clearing the ram in task manager, notifications come back. I even did a reflash of this rom with Format All for good measure, still no luck. Hearing the notification during a call has been a bug on older roms too. I had it.

No one else is having notifications issues? Im suprised its just a few guys here. Can you other guys try making a test call and then txt yourself and then see what happens?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamshaked:
Been running the latest 1.2 for 2 days, and its been great.

Today although i got my first hard freeze while using face unlock.

had to pull the battery.

freezing at the Samsun Galaxy logo. So i wiped cache / davlic , rebooted it started optimizing apps. finishes and freezes at starting applications.

pull the battery again this time only 6 optimize apps. freezes again at starting applications.

trying a restore of a nandroid now, stuck on verifying md5 for 5min, i let it go and restore pushes through.

No idea, seems like when the phone tries to boot you can hear the camera and thats when it just locks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
Can someone tell me if it's a bug or just because the app is not ICS-compatible?

I am trying to download Cocktail Flow but after downloading it, it fails to install saying "Could not install on usb storage or sd card" or something like that...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
Go to

menu->settings->storage

Scroll all the way down and unmount SD card.

Install app (it will install on internal memory) and mount sd card again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakin_SW:
In the call log, when I swipe left or right, instead of initiating a call or a text, it says "No Number" and does nothing. Does anybody have any experience with this problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jase33:
Since there is no theme update for this version and most likely will not be since FC22 is the most current now.....you can flash this in CWM and it will theme just the status bar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
Thanks a lot mate, that works! Any idea why this happens?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
Yeah for now I just made a shortcut on my homescreen to clear the ram...its almost like a widget
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
Anyone successfully flashed asop contacts and not had syncing issues like the stock apk does with third party sync?

Dicho por el E4GT de latinmaxima
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Check phone number stored under contacts.

it should be stored like this

123-456-7890

If it stored like this

(123)456-7890 or 1234567890 phone can't read it correctly when you swipe and gives you no number message.

Fix the format and you will be able to swipe to call or text.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
Can the Bare ROM Converter be flashed at any time after the ROM is flashed? For example if I installed V1.2 yesterday and used my phone all day today, could I flash the Bare ROM Converter today?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akamara13:
Hey guys, am I the only one who's having a problem with vibration on notifications?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
We've been talking about it on the last few pages there's no fix yet. Clear ram after every phone call is the only thing that works for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakin_SW:
Hey man! Thanks a ton!! You just saved me a bunch of effort troubleshooting this. It's odd that all of my contacts have been saved the way that Google Voice saves them and it never was a problem until this update. If you have any insight, I'm all ears. As for now, I'll just adjust the contacts that I use most often. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Also, I should mention that I can swipe to dial in contacts and the stock messaging app. It's only in the call log that it seems to bug out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Great looking status bar. Thanks for your work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guyver2077:
This cam freezig is killing me.anyone found workaround?

i cant get usb mass storage to work, all it says is "connected as media device" and it gives me two listings. MTP and PTP. How do i fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guyver2077:
Its kind of annoying how it works. You have to go into settings/usb settings/usb utilities and then press that button while its not connected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
For everyone with camera issues with low battery or fc. go to market and search ics camera by moblynx its a great alternative until the problem is fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mdsevol:
Anybody else getting random reboots? I have had 2 so far after about a day and a half on this rom. I did a clean flash, once it rebooted while just sitting there idle and another time when I was going through and editing my contacts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikethechap:
I've got this going, too. I love the ICS. The wifi thing is a bugger, though. It'll get fixed soon, I'm sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Yes you can through CWM. Technically no need to wipe, but I'd do either Calk's Modified, or just cache/dalvik-cache, to be safe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwingvr6:
This is my first time flashing a ROM and I have a question. I already installed Rogue CWM and did a Nandroid backup. If I flash this ROM will I be able to go into CWM and do a restore and get all my apps, data, and contacts back?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] choppacity:
Yup... Thought it was just me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakin_SW:
Glad (not really) to hear it. I thought it was just me. Anybody else who is experiencing this, would you please chime in so we can confirm if it is a bug or not. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jase33:
Camera works fine, notification are solid, no wifi sleep or connect issues. What I have been doing is when I flash the rom I will do it 3 times in a row in the same cwm session. This is something I started doing to resolve issues from my HD2 days. Its been working for me since FC05. Only issue I have experienced was the squirrely signal bars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakin_SW:
I just got my second hard freeze. First time, I went through Hell trying to undo it, until I eventually wiped and reflashed.

This time, I let the battery charge until about 40% and the phone was good again. I know this has been already discussed, but I wanted to let anyone who is reading know that charging the battery beyond the 35% threshold to bring the CPU to a gig again works. Also, I had Facelock enabled.

No offense to Calkulin, but I would probably advise against installing this particular build as the stability of the phone is compromised below 35% battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] charlesvw9:
Check post #2285 for the fix to this - ------Agat63
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakin_SW:
oh and disable Facelock. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guyver2077:
Did ics get rid of native screenshot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakin_SW:
Thanks! I did check it out and it works. However, rearranging my contacts is not a truly viable work around. As far as I'm concerned this is broken and I'll wait until it's addressed in a later build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bykim5:
I haven't had that capability since i loaded the ICS leaks.. it seems totally random though.. some have it, some don't
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] charlesvw9:
It works. You just have to be able to push the buttons correctly. I believe it is power and volume down at the same time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
Hold the buttons longer than you had to on GB
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GReddySetGO:
Only been a few hours, but loving it so far. Very snappy and responsive over FC07. GPS appears to be working right now. Will check back in a few days to report on battery and other issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iahk:
Everybody has it. You just have to hold the button combinations down until the screenshot occurs. You can't just tap it.

Both combinations work. Power + Home and Power + Volume Down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
Same here!! Random reboots out of nowhere. I did a clean install as well. I restored to a previous FC07 backup. FC18 had way too many bugs for me. Hopefully fc22 is better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spyderkoz:
Just saying love it no bugs for me everythings works great and battery wonderful.. Great job calk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vulcZ:
Has anyone noticed that after about a day of use (sometimes less than that), performance degrades horribly? I don't have a ton of stuff installed, and this was a fresh install. No apps restored with Titanium, etc. It runs fine after I reboot, but again, after about the day the phone becomes slow and a reboot is the only thing the fixes it.

Slow when launching apps, closing apps, and sometimes even when navigating through menus.

Anyone experience something similar?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Try using clear cache app from the market, once I use it those issues clear up. Happens on every ROM I have run. I think that's one of the things they're looking to resolve in these last builds....btw fc22 is rolling out! So most of these bugs might be resolved by the time the final build is released.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
Just got the e4gt today. Traded in my crap evo 3d. I've spent hours today rooting and trying custom rom. Finally decided on this one, spent a couple more hours setting everything up the way I like. I usually search when I have a problem but I'm really tired and don't feel like reading lol. Can someone tell me if YouTube not opening is a known problem or is it just me having this problem. I would really appreciate it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
YouTube is working for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
Ok thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
Youtube working ok for me too. If you want to see what the phone is capable of on a stable level since the phone is new to you..i'd say run Calk's last GB rom. It was perfect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
Here is a screencast video of what happens when I try to open YouTube. http://db.tt/fQxFySxp
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakin_SW:
I'm not entirely sure of why, but I remember reading some users have bricked their devices flashing GB from ICS recovery (and I'm not referring to stock recovery, I mean ClockworkMod/variations attached to an ICS kernel.) I think that the "proper" way is to flash through Odin...but again, I am not 100% sure. Best I can tell you is do some research before you flash GB. Anybody have more info for the guy?

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------

Does YouTube open in a fresh install of the ROM, without all the themes and the additional launcher?? It appears you have a lot of overhead running that might be causing the Force Close...

You may want to Nandroid, wipe, reflash, try YouTube and tediously reapply your mods until YouTube either breaks, continues to load or you set the phone on fire and wait in line for an iPhone 5S.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
I definitely read up on how to flash back and forth between versions because I didn't want to brick it on the first day. I'm pretty sure I have to odin the same gb kernel with clockwork mod first before flashing gb rom again. I think they said it will screw the ics rom but it will let me into recovery still to flash a new rom. I'm not 100% positive but I did read for a while today lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
Only thing i added was go launcher and my apps from market. I didn't do anything else tweak wise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
And I will never wait in line for any kind of IPhone lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
I even tried uninstalling YouTube with titanium backup and reinstalling from market. Still a no go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakin_SW:
Dumb question...have you tried downloading from the Market?

Also, not that I have confidence that it will solve anything...but it's a good troubleshooting step...have you gone into applications through settings, found Youtube and cleared data? Sort of a "reset" to the app. Can't hurt to try.

Glad to hear you wouldn't get anything iPhone. They haven't gotten to you yet. If they come to your house, think "Shaun of the Dead".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
Yes I've tried both of those methods. I will probably just do a fresh install tomorrow after I get some sleep. I'm to tired right now and would probably screw something up. Thanks for the feedback!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakin_SW:
That's weird mojo man. Have you tried a reboot? Kidding...not in the face, not in the face!

I'm thinking maybe open up the zip for the ROM, take the YouTube.apk and then copy that to /system/app with Root Browser (which is free from the Market). Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- that's what I have in my phone. Worth a shot.

Anywho, I'm going to bed in a few. So, responses will be spotty at best!

Best of luck dude!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
Thanks again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I just finished downloading the rom. Can I flash this with steady's fc18 rogue recovery?

How is everyone flashing this without bricking? I usually flash with Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dodgerbluehero:
I wouldn't it seems like that a how the bricks are happening, by using the ics kernels. Odin the stock cwm el26 kernel and flash it through there. Some people also Odin all the way back to a gb from before flashing but I've personally never had a problem when using the stock cwm el26 kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I never had any issues with el29 recovery only when I used it to wipe partitions to flash with Odin. I will give that a try and then just flash back to fc18 repack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cbusillo:
Is there an easy way to use the battery saver script in another rom? I would like to use it with codename. Thanks!!!

Anyone have a workaround for the sizing of the Email App when using Rom Toolbox to change

Is it the old Market apk or the Play Store apk? That my be the issue. The Market apk has to update to Play Store.

Loving the rom so far, but is there anyway to restore haptic feedback to the dialer? It seems to have been stripped from the samsung keyboard as well, which I tend to use in landscape mode. I feel lost typing on a touchscreen without any haptic feedback.

Yup, worked for me when I flashed 1.1.
