Trying this ROM for the first time, although I've been using Calks since I had a windows phone YEARS ago.

ROM is amazingly fast and stable, but I have a few questions, just making sure if it's normal or nor. I've formatted and wiped and flashed the rom 3 times, and I keep on having the same issues:

1. Two camera apps, one does not work, only a black screen. Is this normal?

2. When I go in the call logs when in the dialer screen, I see nothing!

3. Lock screen, on the bottom, here's a message that says:

Roaming - Preferred System

'Phone Icon' Sorry try again

4. Lastly, what do you recommend for ICS theme?

Thank you so much for your help guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Might have a bad download of rom/install. Best to redo download and install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] karikian:
okay, I will try for the forth time... (seriously, the 4th download!!!)

well, at least I know is not happening with everyone!

Thank you!

OHHH... Any recommendations for ICS theme?!?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Congratulations Calkulin! Waaaaay overdue! :D

I tried a couple of other ROMs (with an admitted touch of guilt) while waiting for what I knew would be a great ICS v1.5 from you, and there was no comparison to the battery life, smoothness, and speed I get running your ROMs... :cool:

I can't imagine what we'll be treated to when the official Samsung source is released! ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
The easiest way to know the download is good is to run a md5 check on the file with a md5 program for computer or phone. If the characters are the same for you as the one posted in the original first post, then you know the download is good. That could save you downloading it five times because you're unsure if the file is good or corrupted (download hiccup).

Why would you Odin a 2.3.6 kernel / rom to get to Calk 1.5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JsVerbal:
Just wanted to drop by and say congrats to Calkulin on the title change. It is much deserved. Thanks for all you do for the E4GT community!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drybonz:
Hey guys... I loaded up the new rom and I have been on roaming (in my house) since I did. Would this most likely be due to the modem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JsVerbal:
Flashing from an ICS recovery has been known to cause bricks. It is strongly recommended that you odin el26 to flash an ICS rom. Do not let it reboot, when the phone attempts to restart hold volume up+power to go directly into recovery.

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

What modem are you using? Did you come from a different rom or were you upgrading this rom? Clean install or dirty?? :confused:The Rom does not change your modem so you should have the same modem you had before flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Since you're having so many issues, I would consider taking out the external SD, one click odin back to stock, format all and flash it from internal memory. If it works, I would also consider re-formatting your external SD from the phone as well at that point.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

The EL26 kernel contains the original stock CWM recovery.

Like JS said, it has been theorized that using the custom repacked CWM kernels' recovery (like Rogue) when dealing with ICS ROMS may be contributing to the corruption that has bricked so many phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TerryMathews:
Fwiw, I was getting spontaneous reboots without 4g turned on. I have no issues with Caulks EL29 3.0 and I did a clean install. I'm assuming it's a kernel bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Hey Guirae. I'm not sure I understand the init.d kernel support. If we dump Kobridges tweaks into the init.d folder will they automatically run? Just wondering if I need to do anything with Smanager. You did d/l and apply the FD26 specific tweaks from post 88 of that thread correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dreDrennon1:
Calkin congrats on the recognized developer status and this rom is very nice especially with the green goblin theme...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smtolman:
For anyone who cares to know, i talked to the developer of nova launcher about the wallpaper scrolling not working, and he said he has a fix in the works :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fearwillkeepus:
Awesome! Can't wait.

Going through the phone and disabling what I don't need.

I already disabled Synching Picasa, but does anyone know what 'Sync Internet' is within the accounts and sync xxxxx@gmail.com account?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dreDrennon1:
Switched up the home screen a little and not sure what happened with the second screenie there is no pink in it oh well here is the current setup thanks again Calk...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Mentalist:
I noticed that too. Weird bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JsVerbal:
I'm not on this Rom, but mine has "sync browser". I'm pretty sure its the same thing. If so, it syncs your Bookmarks, data, etc. from your browser on your pc. When I create a bookmark in google chrome on my pc, it also creates it on my phone browser and vice versa.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drybonz:
Hey... thanks for the reply. Yeah, I did a clean install and changed modems. If I hadn't changed modems I wouldn't have assumed it might be the modem. The problem was with the FD26 modem, but I rolled back to FD24 and it fixed the roaming situation.

I noticed this morning, though, that I'm getting the same massive battery drain I was having on some of the earlier ICS modems. Need to go back and find the last good one I was using... I think it was mid FD's.

*edit* Literally 5% battery loss since I posted this 10 minutes ago... lol. Looks like FC24 was the last modem I was using. Gonna roll back to that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Mine works just fine. Idk why some people are having issues. :confused: Takes about 3-5 seconds to kick in, cause that's how calk set it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JsVerbal:
I know modems are different for everyone, but almost every post I've seen about fd24 & fd26 were negative and they were not good for me personally. I would recommend trying fd19. It seems that a lot of people, including myself, have liked it. As far as battery drain, the modem has a lot less to do with that than the kernal. Yes, low signal will cause a bit more drain but i have never experienced a noticeable difference in battery life based on modems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mouahmong:
Brief review

Although I can't comment on battery life yet. I have to say this is by far the best ICS ROM available! I haven't experienced any bugs whatsoever. It runs so fluidly, I thought I was still on an overclocked Gingerbread ROM! (IDK about everyone else but all other ICS ROMS have had some lag whenever transitioning from apps or home-screens, of course I have over 200 market apps installed).

Bluetooth works well and I am finally able to hook up to my Hands Free Link with my car.

I haven't had any issues with GPS and didn't have to do anything extra to get it working.

Voice, SMS, MMS, and data (FD19 modem) are all running well, with no bugs or force closes.

Thank you Calkulin! You made an amazing ROM! Finally the E4GT runs ICS as fluidly and flawlessly as the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] the rhyno:
dam i love Calks ROMS...Congrats on Rec Dev status!!

dirty install from 1.4 (mobile odin to EL26, wipe cache and dalvik. no data.) flashed 1.5 and all my junk was there and running perfectly. Also on FD02 Modem and purring like a Harley!

i will say it seems like i'm one of the few lucky ones that can install that way, seen someone a few pages back that did it that way too.

Flashing ROMs the way they should be flashed....priceless
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bb4arson:
Does this rom have the switch music toggle when screen is off. I tried it and it didn't work like on the gb rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
Did i read the OP right? Does this ROM have the fd26 kernel repacked with CWM rogue? Cause that would be awesome and I JUST MIGHT TRY IT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] the rhyno:
If you are referring to skipping music tracks via the volume buttons while screen is off then no that was a mod for GB and hasn't made it here. There were issues with call volume that were associated with that mod so i'm not sure if we will see it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
im itching to install fe07 kernel and modem with this rom.

Has anyone already done this with good results to share?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Ya I put the kernel and modem on about 4 hrs ago and everything is running perfectly. Chrome still has the messed up scrolling though before anyone asks, lol. And it will still say the Android Version is 4.0.3. I'm guessing if you flash the new stock ROM that is when it changes to 4.0.4. So when Calk updates his ROM that should change to the new version number.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dudeman1st:
Yes, and it's tweaked. I have already tried it on another TW ROM and the kernel works very well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
I do not really care what it says in the status, I just want to know with fe07 kernel is this android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4. Or is the android system depending more on the rom than the kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] douglaslem88:
Ics keyboard

Does anyone know how to install the ics keyboard?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilderckw:
Can anyone link me to the new kernel and modem fe07 please
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Takes more than loading a kernel to update from one version of Android to another.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
thanks, I wasnt sure about that. Now I cant wait to run 4.0.4 based rom.

any fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bb4arson:
Yes I was referring to that. eh I know it had a slight problem. Hopefully they could incorporate it in here or maybe just a mod to this. :D

You're on the 1.5 with the FD26 kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
Is anyone still getting delayed text messages and missed calls where someone calls but the phone doesn't ring?? It seems my phone is not switching between 1x and 3g as it should. I've had this issue on every ics ROM I've tried. I've tried changing kernels, modems, roms, data wipes, etc but none of that helped...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
That was all fixed from FD24 on. No one has notification sound bug no more, notification led maybe ( I don't) but others have reported that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
No, you updating profile and prl everytime you flash another kernel and/or modem and restart phone each time after doing that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
Anyone getting failed text message errors but the messages are actually going through? This started back when I was on FD02 before Calk updated to FD26, but it still seems to be happening. I thought it was maybe a Sprint issue but it wasnt happening while I was testing out Milestone 5 AOKP ROM. I did a quick search here and didnt come up with much. Was thinking maybe a modem issue but not sure. My battery stats show the mobile network signal with a lot of blank spaces along with the usual greens, yellows, and reds for signal strengths.

Good to see the notification issues seems to be fixed, although when my phone is charging it seems sometimes I might not be getting notifications or LEDs. Ill keep an eye on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
I've experienced it, but like you said, it goes through and doesn't give you option to resend like how it should. It's happened twice but hasnt for a long time. So idk.

On a side note, I did Antutu bechmarks on all roms and Calks is unbeatable as of now, definitely best for stability, speed and battery life currently.

Is it safe to flash bare rom zip after running 1.5 for a few days. I am not getting quite the battery life I had hoped and think its bloatware causing the problem.

anyone having horrid battery life? not sure why either, don't know if doing the bare ROM converter will help or should I try something else, also will the new modem have any bearing on anything if I try that? Thanks in advance.

That is so cool. Hey Calkulin any chance that you can post a copy of the FD26 kernel repacked with CWM and tweaked that you have with this ROM? Oh and how is it tweaked?

Great battery life here and forgot to flash the bare room convertor lol and just to mention a live wallpaper running.

Gotta be an app or syncing something too much.

A little screen shot from bad ass battery stats. Free from the market i might add that also shows wake locks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb8301:

Its going to be something that is running a crazy long time like the duration of the phone being powered on. Someone else can chime in on this as that might not be the best explanation.

Analyzing Battery Usage

I've discovered the three best apps for troubleshooting battery life are BetterBatteryStats, Battery Monitor Widget Pro (by 3C) & BadAss Battery Monitor.

The first two are best utilized for battery drain while the phone sleeps and BadAss for overall usage. However, I've also noticed that the wakelocks and other info that I used to monitor when on a GB rom don't necessarily follow the same 'rules' as ICS. I guess the rules have changed somewhat. :rolleyes:

The BetterBatteryStats thread is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

The app is free for XDA members and the thread also recommends Battery Monitor Widget Pro as a troubleshooting aid. If you need help with those two apps, that's the thread to search through or ask questions. The best way to troubleshoot battery drain is to allow the phone to sleep approx. 2 hours and use the first 2 tools to see what is using the most battery (while the phone is idle). The BIGGEST battery drain problem is if the phone cannot enter and stay in the deep sleep state the entire time it is being unused (something is keeping it 'awake'). You will drive yourself crazy trying to figure out battery drain during phone uptime, but don't take my word for it... ;)

Edit: Another cool little app is CPU Spy. It will tell you the time spent at each CPU speed, including Deep Sleep. Also, it is another way to tell if battery scripts are working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
Thanks td!

Honestly if anyone is looking to get like 2 days worth with using your phone heavily that's going to require a bigger battery. If you want better battery put the phone down don't play games and stop checking xda lol kidding. The wake lock battery apps are good to find apps that are problematic. I still say give the rom/kernel a few days to settle in. Overall this rom is solid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
This fixed my problem. Thanks!

Sent from the void..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Thanks Steve. Wakelocks are ALWAYS troubleshot from an extended sleep state!

I'm thinking better overall performance and life than Calk's GB rom. :)

Everything is working very well. One little glitch I noticed however. I always change my wifi during sleep to never. It's been an established way to keep wifi always on but also save battery. Occasionally, when I wake the phone, it will remain on 3G and won't wake up wifi to reconnect. There must be a delay tweak for wifi that was established (kind of like the auto-brightness) and I'm just being impatient.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
TD when I crash out at night and decide to leave the phone off the charger I try to turn off 3g just to see how much drain does happen on wifi only. Weird i know lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thx0849:
I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere somehow first off. Why does it take so long between pushing the unlock button and the screen to come on and be able to actually unlock the phone? This is not a problem related to this particular Rom it's always occurred on any rom including straight out of the box. Again sorry if this is in the wrong section or been already answered just curious cuz my evo and other phones I've had didn't have this issue, thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
Im using Sfhubs fe07 kernel-plus with this rom for the last 24 hours, and I believe battery is slightly worse than calks modded fd26 kernel.

Is calks battery saver script incorporated into the rom or the kernel?

UPDATE:

Fe07 kernel-plus with this Rom is fantastic. I am averaging 2.5% dph after i reach 80% point. But from 100% to 80% is pretty quick, like three hours of modest use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
Using the stock lock screen, my phone is unlocked before my finger leaves the screen. If you're having problems on all roms, it sounds like your phone simply hates you.

Are you able to exchange it for another or have you had it too long?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0ricua:
Flashed this ROM a couple days ago and very impressed with stability and battery life.

One question that's rather annoying at this point. My dialer isn't pulling information from my Contacts. For example, when I bring up my dialer, and start to type in the name of a friend in my contacts, normally it would bring that person up and I could quickly call them. For some reason this functionality isn't working right now.

Any idea on how to fix it? I'm sure its something quick I'm overlooking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mizex:
I am not sure but I think he was talking about the phone coming out of deep sleep. My phone has a small delay from the time I hit the power button until the time the screen turns on. But once the screen is on the phone will unlock instantly. If your issue is happening when your screen is on then something else might be wrong with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thx0849:
What I'm experiencing is let's say I'm not using the phone for a few minutes then i push the button it takes like a second and a half for the screen to come on, once it does come on I'm able to unlock it perfectly every time. Just interesting that it takes that long for it to recognize the button pushed. I've had the phone since like October, this has happened on roms, not worth exchanging it for that concern, never had any other issues with it.
