[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 11secEVO:
Sadly, there is no other ROM out there worth flashing. Trust me! I went through 4 different ROMs yesterday and they all had lots of issues. That is why I wanted Calk to do one last update with a theme so the sensitive people don't start crying. I am switching to the Galaxy Nexus and then to the new Nexus coming out in the fall.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Calk does not theme his roms, at least not the E4GT roms. That is why they are so popular. Not everyone wants a themed rom. If I want to change the look of the rom (Icons, wallpaper/background etc), I do it with free Go Launcher themes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
And everyone loves the smoothness of the rom and speed that comes with it. He really does know how to build a great rom :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerryp7:
Then I guess I'll have to be happy with what I have and stop thinking there might be greener grass (or jellybeans).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ogeretla:
I would recommend the super galaxy rom. I use to run this rom myself and have always ran calks roms but since he stops programming for this phone I had to switch to something else. I I have been very happy with the super galaxy rom it is snappy and bug free. I would recommend version 1.6 and then upgrade the kernel with the agat 2.2. Been working flawlessly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vegasmach1:
After three days of fustration with CM9 I'm back where I started; Calks ROM too. CM9 had no working GPS, BT would not sync to my car, 4G speeds were off, and Wi-Fi was spotty. Rule stick with the simple and what works. Since this is no longer supported cCan/should we flash an FF18 kernal? Advanatges/risks?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fredrick1213:
^^ +1 I would also like to know if we can/should flash the FF18 source kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I have flashed the agat source built kernel many times on this builds. Give it a try... should we? I see no reason not to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fredrick1213:
How's the battery life with it on this ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Im currently back on GB but the battery life was amazing for my needs... and my device didn't get hot. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
venums boa rom kicks ass

Do you know how super galaxy stacks up against super nova?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] galaxytabevo:
This is a great rom. I apologize if this has been asked before, but there are some things I could not find.

The weather widget, and some others from that matter, look sloppy. The text seems overlayed on top of one another, and seem to come out of the widget itself. Is there a fix?

Also, when reading the weather on my lock screen, it says 70 C....it says F in the settings lol, what's going on?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:
This ROM is outdated, that's what is going on. Calk went onto S3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] galaxytabevo:
Well damn... It still works well. Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
You're wrong he's on the HTC one x
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
All this negativity is so uncalled for (not meant for you Daniel). This is one of the best developers on XDA. He chooses to do these roms for his own use and we have benefited from that for quite a while now. Please move on if you have nothing positive to contribute. If anyone needs help with something, I am always here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drybonz:
Calkulin tends to stay on the cutting edge devices... so if you want to be using his roms, you have to move on with him. That's the way it has been for some time. He makes some great stuff, then moves on to a newer device. He is one of the best.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Yup, that's why it's a bummer we don't have an ICS equivalent of what he did with the GB based version of his ROM; one more FF18 based release to leave things nice and tidy. Oh well, he has contributed way the hell more than I have or ever will, so I'm still appreciative of ever having one of his ROM's to run in the first place.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leond:
no negativity here, just sadness. :) I was with Calkulin ROMs sfrom day one and it was always a pleasure. Just looking for technical advise for an alternative ROM that would at least get close
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I agree. Personally I prefer the stock look like this one that I can maybe add a few things to make it my own. The fully themed roms don't appeal to me.

Anyway, I'm on Blazer's rom. It's lightly themed and the apps are still all stock (not themed). There are flashier and more advanced roms around but I'm staying with this for a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
If I may ask, sir, what's Blazer got that this don't? Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bavarianblessed:
It's based on FF18, the current and less-buggy release from Samsung/Sprint. FE22 was still pretty damn buggy so it's not at all a knock on Calk, the man makes phenomenal work. That said I wonder if we got a bit of cash together for a donation and presented it to him if he would update this to FF18 :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigfamei:
I would be down for that. I got 5 on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bavarianblessed:
Word, 5 here as well :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
There's not that much difference. I just wanted to move to something as similar as possible and looking toward future growth.

Here is my links page for Blazer. Most of these I've also posted in this thread (updated hotspot, extended power menu... use the menu I posted here btw, the one on blazer is customized for that rom):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28451727&postcount=7876

For those of you that wish to stay on this rom, just about anything I post there should work here. Please backup first of course. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 11secEVO:
I just got the best solution to the whole problem!!!! :D I finally got my Galaxy Nexus and will stay on it until the next Nexus comes out for Sprint later on this year. I will never ever go to a custom rom anymore unless Calk builds it. I will never ever ever try another rom specially Cyanogen. Talk about bugs, I guess I just got tiered after having a Rooted Nexus One, EVO 4G, Nexus S 4G, HTC EVO 3D, SGSII. All of them had so many issues after I rooted them I can't even began to tell you. GPS worked sometimes, camera would freeze, crashing apps all the time...etc and for what?! no point to have a rooted phone. I will go to a Nexus line of phones and never look back. Hopefully I never get to hear from some idiots from this forum.

Calk I hope to see you in a Nexus phone if not thank you for everything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Hey can I used the extended power mod on stock ff18 I would love to use that. Would make it feel a bit like calks :tear:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You can use the FE22 one I did for Calk's, (it has Calkulin ICS on it) here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28511068&postcount=4899

It will probably work with FF18, backup to be certain. Then the blazer one which I just posted a link to is FF18 but it says Blazer on the menu.

I just spent the afternoon mucking about with Phantom ICS. It was quite smooth and tastefully themed, but little things started rearing their ugly heads. TiBu wouldn't restore some user apps. The market started suffering symptoms similar to the smdl2tmp1.asec problem, but the file was nowhere to be found. Long story short, Calk's ICS and GB ROMs have been awesomely stable for me, so I'm restoring Calk's ICS 1.6 as I type this. The way things look right now, this phone will live its life and eventually die with this ROM on it.

With this ROM in mind, is there anything to be gained from a kernel or modem swap? ....and which version? Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amot:
So for the past few days when I wake up in the morning, I notice that my battery drains about 60%....

3g MMS issues

Hi there, been running most recent version of this ICS rom and have largely had good results. Just noticed that i'm unable to send MMS on 3G. I can on 4G or wi-fi. My carrier is Credo Mobile and i have edited the MMSC URL setting to the appropriate place, so that's not the issue. I also updated PRL and the profile.

Thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PRELUDE777:
Hi Calk,

There's few thinks I would like to point out, and hope there's fix for it. I get reboots on 4G, so I re-flashed the rom, still no go. I tried to update profile and prl, but I get error messages

Also wanted to ask you if you could make the zip of stock camera app. Camera app in this rom is very slow. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Hotspot fix was posted on this page for the reboots:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28510939&highlight=hotspot#post28510939

There is nothing wrong with the camera app. That is the way it works on this version of ICS. If you want something different, see what the market has to offer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PRELUDE777:
Thanks a lot hope it works. I have stock E4GT as well, and camera works just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
What version of Android is the stock E4GT running?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amot:
Probably 1 week.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PRELUDE777:
Latest ff18 update I believe. My brother is not home for me to check.

Ok looks like found a fix for it, with your help. I flashed the Kobridge Tweak Pack v3.5 you provided, and used the super fast zip. Now camera works way faster, almost instant shoot. I think camera lag has to do with Calks Tweaked l Battery Saver Script. How ever I'm not a dev; yet :)

Thanks for your help may man,. You rock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
This rom is FE22 so I don't know if the camera is different or not. I've attached the stock FF18 camera as a flashable zip.

It should replace the one included in the rom if you flash it.

Edit: This will also put back some of the camera sounds that were removed btw.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
Is this ROM still under development? Is there a FF18 build in the works?

Also, any way to get Extended Toggles on this ROM? Trying this after being on AOKP Milestone 6. There's a lot I like here but miss customizable toggles... Ideas welcome!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Don't think so. Calk is about to release a rom for HTC one x . For extended toggles checkout phantoms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
This rom is no longer under development as awesome as it is. ;)

I just ported over extended toggles for Calk's 3.0 GB rom and if you wait a few more days, we will have extended toggles for Blazer ICS as well that I'm waiting to get released. The extended toggles for Blazer will be the plain ICS look but I already have another mod prepared with fancy color icons for the extended toggles menu to release once the main rom is released.

The GB release is here with screencaps. The blazer toggles will look similar but the toggles menu has more features than this GB version:

Well, myself and a friend both have E4GT's and so I've been trying several ROMs out. This one seems, but lacks the over-the-top customization of settings that AOKP had.

I am getting FC's or freezes when I go to Date and Time in Settings. Any ideas?

Are there any other ROMs out there running ICS that have TouchWiz? I assume TouchWiz is what is responsible for the cool dialer where you can slide left to message and slide right to dial on a contact.

I tried Blazer ICS, and after coming from Blazer GB, I wasn't very impressed. I know it is still in the works though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerryp7:
Hey! That's pretty cool. I went to contacts, slide left took me to message and slide right dialed. I didn't know that existed.

I've been running SuperNova_ROM_v1.3.FF18 ICS with AGAT_v0.2.3 kernel. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1728880

I wanted to stay with Calkulin but since he bailed on the Galaxy II and I'm not getting anything else and I wanted ICS and eventually JB I started looking and found this. I'm pretty happy with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Blukuban, goodness i know for sure got the dialer. The other ics roms should have it too as they are based on stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brad65807:
I have tried probably 8 or 9 different roms and always come back to this one. Its the only ones that just works perfect. Every time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArchangelRenzoku:
I have to admit, I've been using this ROM for weeks now. The only problem I've had with it are a couple random reboots. But they are very infrequent. 2 or 3 of them usually happen while using Google's Wifi Tether beta14, but they also kinda happen when the phone is under extreme load and hasn't been rebooted in a couple of days. Rebooting every 3 or 4 days seems to prevent this. Clearing the cache every now and again as well.

Other than that, this thing runs smooth and flawless. I have to say my favorite trick is the silent camera. Couldn't use a rom without it. Have been crossing my fingers Calk would make a FF18, but not gonna complain when I have a solid ROM to ride on with this phone. Big step coming from the Photon. Glad I changed though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Please refer to this page where I posted the latest hotspot hack along with other mods for this rom. Some of them just happen to all be on the same page. :)

I'm sorry to hear he's moved on, but the ROM is pretty much perfected anyways. I've used it for the last several months and have liked it very much. Since, I've moved on the the Galaxy3 (a mistake because it's only slightly better). Anyhow, I guess someone can think of an improvement,

but I'm not one of them.

Hi guys/gals

I've been running a stock rooted rom EL29 for a long time...and would like to use Calkulin's

I've just received a Sprint Notice for ICS 4.0.4. Should I accept it and then move to Calkulin's?

Its been so long since I rooted that I've forgotten most of it...

Any help will be appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerryp7:
This might be where you want to start http://galaxys2root.com/ It will probably link you back to something on XDA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ForayeEvo4g:
thanks...i'm already rooted...I'll take a look anyway.

more specifically, do I need to update to Sprint OTA ICS 4.0.4 from 2.3.6 first then flash Calukin's rom or just go straight to Calukin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chochoking:
Can someone send me or upload the "messaging 4.04-FE22" apk, thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerryp7:
You should follow Calkulin's instructions and start with his "format all".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ForayeEvo4g:
What FORMAT All? there is no Link to anything...I didn't see it in the Zip package either...

"Important Notes - Due to how this ROM is setup, a wipe is recommended BEFORE flashing if coming from another ROM(use FORMAT ALL attached)"

btw...you are not answering my question...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Don't bother taking the update, it will further complicate things.

Calk's format all from the OP, save it to SD and keep it there. It is used pretty much before flashing any TW based ROM, GB or ICS.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=928432&d=1330705940

What rom are you using now? This will determine if your kernel is safe to use or can be used to flash to ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ForayeEvo4g:
I'm running SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_NODATA-oc-sfx.exe from 2/3/12 or so...Its a stock rooted ROM.

Thanks for the FORMAT ALL link also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerryp7:
Sorry. I thought saying to format all (completely wipe the device) would answer the question of if you should keep anything.

Also, searching XDA for "Calkulin's format all" would have given you the link.

IMO I find the community to be helpful but I don't consider it a service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ForayeEvo4g:
EXCEPT that was not the QUESTION...SEE...READ POST 5079.

Thanx for your efforts to complicate things though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Then you may be familiar with this link already:

You may have already done all this but here are the steps anyway.

Download the e4gtauto if you don't already have it, option C and install one of the GB Rogue kernels with CWM. It's been a long time since I've used it so I don't recall all of the options.

What kernel are you using now, do you know?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ForayeEvo4g:
Yes I do have all that already along with ROGUE CWM...I also do not remember all the details

Kernel is 2.6.35.7- SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097 which is stock I believe...

If you have Rogue CWM, then you are fine to flash ICS.
