I did not. I wouldn't know where to begin.

I was having GPS problems anyway so... I odin'd back to EL29 rooted, used the auto tool to install the EL29 rogue kernel, rebooted, turned on GPS got a lock, rebooted into recovery and then flashed beta 3 again without wiping anything. I did not flash the FB27 modem this time.

My GPS now works. I'll post back if I see SOD again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skribbles505:
I have seen it with trebuchet and nova actually but not as frequently in nova. its seems to go away after a few page changes/app openings usually or a reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rumrunner6900:
Netflix works fine for me. On Beta 3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
posts like this kill me, ya you gave beta 3 plenty of time to set and check batterylife.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Think "resize any widget" is to blame... I disabled it and everything fixed itself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
It has only been released for like 3 hours... I don't know how you even notice bad battery life in that time, let alone diagnose it to a kernel. Beta 3 has been the best ICS ROM yet for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clshores:
I had to use the email.apk and exchange.apk from CM9 to get the sync to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QwaarJet:
Lol, re-read my post. I didn't go back to BETA 2 because of battery life, I went back because I'm getting S.O.D. I'm at work, so i can't troubleshoot too much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahmadshawki:
Well, that's what I did THREE TIMES. I went back to a Nandroid and then flash this. Everything is working fine and I get instant GPS lock. Then out of no where, the GPS hangs for less than two minutes and I have to reboot to get rid of it and the battery just goes down from 50 something to less than 10 during reboot. After the reboot everything is normal again. I even try the maps and again I get instant lock. Then it all happens again, GPS hangs and reboot and battery destroyed.

I guess I'll have to stick to the GB ROM for sometime. I go to work from 9am to 7 or 8 pm. I need my battery and I didn't find anything wow about the ICS.

Thanks everyone for the contribution.

Over n' out...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tshile:
did that exchange.apk get your contacts and calendar to sync correctly?

i had trouble with contacts/calendar syncing via exchange in beta 2.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] woodsdog:
I am having issues restoring with Titanium Backup with this Beta 3. It just hangs while trying to restore some apps. Some go, some don't.I saw this exact same thing in CM9. Beta 2 TB worked flawlessly.

Anyone else having issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rpnunez:
Am I the only person that when I pull-down the notifications bar, and I am in landscape view, the actual image that says "NOTIFICATIONS" (on the bottom of the bar/what you actually pull up/down) is pixelated/blurry?

In all honesty, in my opinion, it looks a bit ugly (especially in horizontal mode).

Just my humble opinion, ROM is running smooth as butter, loving Calk's work as always.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
If you're coming from Beta 2 you shouldn't have to use Titanium Backup. And if you're coming from something else you should do a fresh install of apps. Restoring even just a Titanium backup to a new ROM isn't suggested.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:
Well said. I will add to this that if you are going to use TB, do NOT restore data. Just the app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Lol, I will admit to restoring KeePass. Too lazy to retype in all those passwords.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chasew83:
just uninstall it with titanium. i did it on the stock rom and it works great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
I'd redo Format All and reinstall Beta 3. It's way better to just start from scratch once you've already restored it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wbyrd:
I use TB to restore my apps every time I flash a ROM. Even when going from one version to the next, I always do a fresh install of the ROM using Calk's format all. I restore all of my apps (no data), then restore data. I have never had a problem doing it this way. Again, I do this every single time I flash a ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
can you give me directions on how you did this please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nofear0705:
Great Rom!!! Very Smooth and fast. Keep up the great work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
After installing Beta 3 when it's first about to start the launcher it asks if you want to use Launcher or TWLauncher. Choose Launcher then from there you just slide one icon over the other. Lets you label it however you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If you are using Nova, ADW EX, Apex, just drag and drop another app on top of the other one (app stacking) then you can long press to rename the folder
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hamish26:
Whoah, issues. Was fine for about the first hour of use, now I just got two S.O.D. in a row, and battery dropped from 99% to 95% simply after a battery pull. This worries me.

SOD

I noticed that on Beta 2, I was fine until i put Rogue's kernel on to get CWM. I re-flashed Beta 2 and didn't reload the Kernel. Is it possible the SOD is related to the kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] master acehole:
Sod? And I believe alot of battery pulls do that well at least it does for me I go down about that much
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Yeah mine have gone away after a few battery pulls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hamish26:
SOD= Sleep of Death. Locking your phone and then the screen will not come on again when trying to wake. Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue.

P.S. I have not changed anything regarding clocking preferences, just flashed Beta 3 and it began.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ky0nkyon:
anyone getting random alarm sounds that go away after pulling the notification bar down?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clshores:
You will have to clear data on email and force stop exchange. Also make sure to remove the accounts before you swap the .apk files. But it is working fine for me in Beta 2 and Beta 3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gti151:
Contact Photos

I decided to run SyncMyPix instead of letting Social Hub do it. My thinking is that running that app once a day to update pics is probably a lot better in terms of battery than letting Social Hub do it and whatever else it tried to do. Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jnoles07:
Alright I have been reading through this thread trying to find an answer but everything is really vague. What is the easiest, safest way to go from BETA 2 to BETA 3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrwright83:
Im looking flash over, right now im on calks el29 verison, can i use tb backup or not when i flash over.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] douglaslem88:
Were you on Beta 2?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It could be a number of reasons really. It could be because of the kernel, it could be undervolt if the kernel enables battery saver scripts, etc. I haven't flashed beta 3 yet myself so I can't troubleshoot. I just noticed several new options when plugging phone in to laptop ..so much new stuff going on here....edit...ignore my desktop in the background. I test alot of stuff. Time for some Spring cleaning here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
i guess the sod issue is location your live in because i have had none on ics and i used every single leak out and not just for a day, i just cant help but believe some issues are user error. not so much los/sod but theres lots of other issues i see that most of us dont have then i read people are restoring **** with titanium and it scares me to think how many are but are not saying they are.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

exactly what im talking about, atleast you asked but answer is no its a bad idea.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I appreciate you posting that. I was looking for an app that I could just control myself. Thanks for sharing the info. I would prefer to do the sync once a day myself
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
Thanks Calk!!!

Just flashed now, so far so good!

:D :D :D :D :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
You can use TB BUT its way smoother and less bumpy if you start from scratch, some apps tend to force close when installed through TB. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
How can I get CWM back? I don't think that this rom has it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Medic1013:
X1 for SOD. I haven't changed anything in the rom, just flashed on top of beta 2. Battery pull fixed it and so no more sod has happened

Sent from some phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Is anyone able to get the new Swype beta to run on this ROM? It seems to crash constantly. I thought they updated it to work with ICS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
I've had probably 5-10 sod since flashing this. I've done every ICS ROM out there and this is the only one that has had the sod problem. I'm going to do a battery pull so hopefully I dont get any more after that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Beta 3 has it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
Mine had CWM...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoeleven99:
getting the sd/device save error in the market..should i reflash ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d1gw33d:
Are there any known Wifi issues? Mine doesn't see 2 of the 3 wifi networks I have at my house. They just happen to be the 2 I use...

My main is a G/N 2.4Ghz hybrid. It sees my 5Ghz N from time to time and the only thing it sees consistantly is my guest G network.

*EDIT* Just as an FYI prior to flashing this I did a full wipe/factory reset and installed Beta 3, then in the same CWM session I flashed the latest modem zip.

Am I missing something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Anybody else having booting issues? I'm on FB27 modem, wiped everything, flashed beta 3. Now when I reboot from recovery, it shows the splash screen, reboots, then back into recovery. I power down completely and do a regular power on.. automatically back in to recovery. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rawdikrik:
IF you are on Beta 2, IT doesnt come with CWM.

Use Rom Manager to install CWM, then just install Beta 3 over Beta 2. Calk makes the package to remove any offending files. You will not need to wipe or anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:
Noob, you are not! LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
After flashing this ROM, will I remain able to restore a Nandroid of Calk's 2.9.2 EL29?

Is there a manifest of what files were pulled to make the bare ROM? I peeked inside both versions and found that /system/app on the bare ROM had 24 fewer files. Easy enough to inventory those. However when I looked at the whole installer, there were only 9 fewer files in the bare ROM. Can someone help me with this?

Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clshores:
So far I haven't experienced and SOD issues on Beta 3. I used ODIN to put on the FB21 Rogue recovery then flashed Beta 3 on top of Beta 2. I did wipe cache and dalvik before flashing Beta 3 but since 9:30 this morning (3 hours) I haven't seen a SOD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] algirnavi451:
Does this work with beta 3? Anyone try yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mypd1991:
Dont know if anybody has flashed the bare version of beta 3 ,but all it does is reboot me back in to recovery, installed with just cache wipe first then clean install and still the same thing, dont know if its the link or what, not using my computer so I haven't been able to check the md5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
There's no need to use Rom Manager. You can install Beta 3 over Beta 2 using the stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

I installed bare Beta 3 over bare Beta 2 by just wiping cache in the stock recovery. No issues here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RPerry435:
I flashed from stock rooted fb27 to beta 3 using stock recovery and it works great!! Thanks calkulin for your hard work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Agree 100%. We all have those nOOb moments though ...I know I do
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:
Amen to that!!

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

I know for myself, if you're having issues with the ROM it would be helpful to know the steps taken to flash the ROM. If you're receiving SOD, lack of GPS, etc. Did you wipe completely or attempt to save your data? Are you restoring with TB?

I wiped entirely and reinstalled with TB (just apps, no data) without any issues so far. Any insight would be helpful for us all as we move forward with ICS ROM's and what not.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
Not sure about what apps Calk pulls from the "full ROM" as opposed to the "Bare ROM." What I do notice is that the Bare ROM has a lot less bloat, carrier apps, etc.

As far as the first question, if you flash Beta 3, it comes with CWM. So, you can restore (nandroid) your GB backup. I nandriod back to GB all the time to get a GPS lock (known fix).

Hope that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Just flashed it and so far so good.

Camera ICS from Market

Everything seems to be good for me except Camera ICS from the Market. Now it freezez on a black screen and then crashes instead of only crashing when doing funny faces like before. Not sure if it's just me or not but i'm on Bare 3 beta upgraded from beta 2. I tried clearing app data and re-installing the app but I get the same result.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
in case anyone cares, i flashed v1.3 of the ICS-4-ICS theme from overstew/ssconceptz & it's working fine. flashed via rogue recovery that comes packaged

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506945

they will be releasing an update this weekend to v1.5 of the theme which should be fully compatible, although i dont see any reason not to use v1.3 for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0ricua:
Will I be ok flashing this with Rogue "Hitman" recovery? I would completely wipe using "format all" zip but just want to ensure I won't break anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

(I ask due to people having issues with "some version" of touch recovery)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
please don't do that, use the FB27 repack from team rogue. definitely do NOT do a full wipe unless you plan to reflash the rom also..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tshile:
ugh, beta 3 still no calendar or contacts sync with exchange 2010. email seems to work fine

did the format all script, then beta 3, then modem, then factory reset, then reboot.

going to try a different email APK i saw in another thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0ricua:
Glad I asked the question. So right now I'm on "hitman." Would you recommend I flash Gunslinger recovery, then FB27 repack? Use that recovery to flash this beta after a full wipe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
i would probably use ODIN/Heimdall/Mobile Odin to flash the tar file of FB27 repack from team rogue.

honestly your post is confusing me a bit, i dont wanna be responsible for breaking your ****.. perhaps a little more info on your current config would be helpful
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0ricua:
Here's the scoop:

I'm on Calk's 2.9.1 GB ROM

I'm using Rogue's 1.5.0 "Hitman" recovery/kernel

I'd like to move to this Beta 3, which is ICS

What is the best way to achieve this without bricking my ****?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Great to know! Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
ok, with all that information it helps.. if it was ME, i would ODIN/Heimdall/Mobile Odin the team rogue Gunslinger kernel/recovery. v1.4.1 if i remember right. older versions are listed on the post below the OP in that thread.

Once on that right recovery, you're safe to flash Beta 3 of this ICS rom from Calkulin. After that you'll already have the repack FB27 kernel/recovery and are good to go.

I was on Beta 2, Odin'd Rogue FB27 to get CWM, went to recovery to flash Beta 3, flash went okay, now I get a screen that says "Samsung Galaxy S II GT-19100" and a triangle with an exclamation point at the bottom. What happened?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] atomb:
The problem with doing that is it replaces some of the fb27 files with older fb21 files like the framework. It' would be better not to do this until it has been updated for fb27 but it will still "work".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
appears to be the same process as me, but too many variables to say much about what happened without watching you do it..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tshile:
alright, will do. I'll have to look up how to check for device admins.

do I just install those APK's individually, or is there another process?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0ricua:
Thanks for your help on this. I'm back on Gunslinger which makes me less nervous. Just to make sure, and I probably know the answer to this, but the full wipe using "format all" zip is most likely needed considering the GB->ICS jump, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TripleAgent:
Is there a sure method to fix it, preferably without starting from scratch with Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
Unfortunately the battery pull didn't fix my SOD issues... has anyone found a fix for this? Is the likely cause the battery saver script? I saw calk ask someone if they edited it. I didn't edit mine. All I did was flash this directly over beta 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated, these sleeps of death are horrible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I don't get why you guys that were already on Beta 2 are flashing another kernel first. You could've easily flashed Beta 3 from the stock recovery. You just had to make sure the rom was on your sd card and not internal memory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
Agreed +1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That's how I got from beta 1 to beta 2. ROM on SD card and I flashed from stock recovery. It works for now but will probably not be an option on official build
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tshile:
just as a follow up, i pushed the apk's through android commander. calendar/contacts seem fine but the email app won't open.

will update as i do some more testing...

i haven't synced it with exchange yet, just trying to open the apps.

edit: yeah exchange keeps crashing. i'm installing it via android commander as as system app. is there another way to do it or something i'm missing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I had a similar issue. What fixed it was flashing the FB21 rogue recovery/kernel, formatting all, then flashing beta 3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TripleAgent:
The instructions say "You must have a custom recovery to flash this ROM". I didn't know I could from the stock recovery, so I didn't bother trying. Perhaps the instructions could/should be edited. Now I know, but again, how do I fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
The voicemail app is still broken...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QwaarJet:

Couple of issues in Beta 3 when setting up Exchange email accounts ...

Entering a password with spaces causes a popup to appear, saying that valid passwords may not contain spaces. Ignore the warning; It appears that passwords with spaces work fine.

With multiple Exchange accounts, the checkbox for "add signature" on one account appears to affect all accounts. The signature text itself can be different for each account, but the checkbox for "add signature" affects all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
How do I disable the init.d scripts that affect sleeping? From what it looks like I would set BATTERY_PROFILES_ON="1" to 0 in 3cpufreq_screenstate_scaling. Is this correct? Thanks. I'm trying to find out what is causing all of my sleeps of death issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
not having any SOD issues with those scripts. are you using any other CPU controlling app to underclock? like setCPU or alike?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Have you tried pushing the apks into system/app with root explore and then changing permissions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
I'm not using anything other than whatever is included in calk's beta 3 to control the CPU speeds. I flashed beta 3 directly over beta 2 from FB21 rev2 CWM.

just download setcpu it disables the script! says so in the OP!

Hay guys!

Can I get any feed back on gps.conf file I posted few pages back.

After 35 downloads I guess there should be something you can say about it.

Did it work? Did it improve anything? It did nothing? Did it make things worse?

Let me know please so I would know should I continue looking into it or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
These Samsung phones are strange that way. I couldn't even undervolt my OG Epic by -25 or it would start going nuts while others were undervolting -75. It pissed me off. It is possible your phone just doesn't respond well to undervolting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Calk, or anyone who can help out... Can you please make a non percentage battery mod zip? Please
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jewid:
You want batt percentage or want to remove it? Because ICS has a toggle in display settings

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
When you flash beta 3 through stock recovery signature verification fails all though my phone did take the custom kernel fb27 with cwm so i let it boot and then rebooted into custom recovery and reinstalled beta3 again although it worked for me there has to be a reason the OP recommends flashing through a custom recovery and not the stock recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
Bummer. I just installed setCPU and was hoping it would fix the issue. Are you leaving the FB27 repack kernel on or are you going to go stock FB27 kernel? Let me know how it goes. Unfortunately, I might have to go back to beta 2 if I can't figure out something soon here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gti151:
I was going to try it but when I went to download it at work my anti-virus wouldn't allow it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I believe parts of the OP may be copy/pasted from his other ROM. I got the same signature verification fail message when updating from beta 1 to beta 2. I believe its actually the signature verification failing that allows it to flash through stock recovery. Once that is actually checking the signature then it wont work anymore. I also flashed Tiffany's status bar/pulldown theme through the stock recovery by placing it on SD, wiping cache partition and flashing in stock recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Trying now... rebooting after unchecked...

nope still there. Yeah I just don't like the percentage on the battery so I would like to remove it. Yes i know some of you are thinking I am nuts but that's my personal reference.
