tudunham, maybe you can help me. I have my wife sold on Android but not on rooting. When Calk stopped developing for the Galaxy SII I switched to SuperNova. I like it but it's a little moded so doesn't look too stock. My wife is having trouble with her stock ROM (lots of FC and freezes) so I want to format and root her phone, give her Sprint hotspot but something as close as possible to stock (which she is familiar with). Understand, whatever I give her has to be "perfect" becasue I want her to LOVE having her phone rooted. You see, the other day she used a toasted flash drive on my Linux laptop and the next thing I'm hearing is, "I hate your Libix OS or whatever you call it". Naturally when she learned it was her flash drive and not the OS there was no eating of words but like I said. I was going to give her the basic Calk but seeing that you recooked it, what would you recommend? Calk? Calk recooked? something else? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I would go with Re-Calked since it's as close to stock as we can make it and it's getting regular updates to a current ICS build. I did post a bunch of mods for it but the base build will always have the stock look.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toobz:
@tdunham: I am on blazer 4.1 currently and just flashed your 1.1 stock tweaks. Battery life has improved! This is my first charge with those tweaks and I'm very happy. It will probably only get better too, right? Anyway thank you for the tweaks. My phone doesn't like gunslinger so I stay with stock el29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerryp7:
Thanks. Sounds good. She can deal with a little change, just not a lot. Are/will the updates be found on the OP?

Understanding that Calk is/was the "Galaxy SII god" will you be continuing "god's work" for a while?

Is there a possibility of updating this rom? As in the base OS to FH13, update mods, kernel, etc?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The closest thing is in my Sig.

How does the battery life on this rom compare to calkulin gingerbread?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iscryed4u:
My second ROM, but first time posting. Great ROM! Had no problems. Sleek, fast, great battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I would say it's probably terrible... This is over 4 months old. If you want something similar that is up to date try Re-Calked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
I've been running Calk's 2.91 for a while. How does Re-Calked compare to Calk's 2.91/3.0 in terms of battery life?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArchangelRenzoku:
YMMV, but my friends and I, while using this phone, agreed that the original Calk's was a little better. Of course that all depends on your usage and such, but we thought we could've squeezed out more time outta the battery before we went to Re-Calked. But Re-Calked also fixed a number of issues just because it was using new firmware, for starters.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weiss27md:
Is this ROM any good still? Also the Bare ROM Converter is down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerryp7:
It's always been good. There's no reason it shouldn't be good. The only reason I stopped using it was becasue I wanted to try multi windows so I switched to Chemistry ROM. Multi windows is fun to play with but I really don't have a practical reason to use it. I'm mainly happy with anything that is solid and gives me wifi-hotspot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
is this delay being experienced only on the stock launcher or e very launcher you guys have tried has the same issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rebo0t:
I have the same laggy scrolling but only on websites and Facebook, G+ etc. Using TW launcher
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:
I'm using TW and the lag/delay happens when scrolling contacts, apps, emails, etc. Not a big deal tho.

Just now started using apex launcher seems to be a little lag free it might better suited for the from... you guys give it a try
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ross4747:
Yea not a big deal at all I agree
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
No lag with Nova Launcher. I am down in the 30%'s now...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Ya, I really don't have any lag with Nova launcher either. Love that launcher. Really gives u the full ICS experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
All this sounds like a bad flash.

Getting MMS and SMS with now problems. Even the slideshows.

Camera has been tested on all mods available and no FC's. Panorama works as well.

Did watch quite a few videos on youtube. No problems either.

Netflix videos streaming without any errors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Very much liking what I see here...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OnDutyTactical:
I had some pretty good talk time today, but I wanted to run these stats by ya'll and see what ya think. Is this decent, or should I be looking to make some tweaks to get better battery life:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
I like it. Good job. Not too many issues even though it's based of a leak. One thing I noticed is the battery icon when charging doesn't seem to change. If that's how it's supposed to be disregard this post altogether. Also, I tried some of the other GPS hacks out there to improve my lock time, but to no avail, FWIW. Cheers to all!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I believe the battery icon is that way on all ICS ROMs (may be wrong) and if you want a solid GPS lock, you are most likely going to have to roll bback to Gingerbread, get your lock, keep GPS on, power to recovery, flash format all zip, then ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Thanks for the input! I was able to reflash but it got stuck on the S screen on boot.. Held the power down to force restart and it loaded up.. Now it plays video.. But still having issues playing video through the browsers.. Strange..

Edit: panorama and camera work now.. Also youtube now playing videos also.. First bad flash ive ever had!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
This will be fixed once FC02 is released as that build finally fixed the issue, until this, I just recommend you disable it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:
Keep up the great work Calk! Appreciate all you do for the community!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Once the repack is available, it will only get better as the battery saver script will start working again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Actually the battery icon is a mod I did because I hated that I couldn't tell how much battery there was unless I locked the phone or looked at the stats. I will eventually change it to a battery percent, charge mix but I have to rewrite the xml, which would take me a while
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Thanks for all you do for all of us Calk. I'm sure you've heard that a million times but I think I can speak on behalf of the whole community when I say "we greatly appreciate and love the work you do"!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Oh man...can't wait Calkulin! You really did a great job with what you had to work with. Thanks for EVERYTHING! I am happy to test for you anytime!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rizdog23:
One problem I've noticed is while being in a call, i cannot turn on the screen and the phone gets really hot, This was not an issue yesterday so its baffled me today
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Know this probably sounds dumb but have you tried rebooting?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BeeDoubble:
I was enjoying MIJJ's ROM upon first upgrading to ICS. I used Calk's Rom before ICS came out and IMO it had the best battery life to speed ratio. Just chiming in to say, this ROM is just as impressive especially being that it's still in the Beta stages. Very stable and about %35 more battery compared to MIJJ's ROM, YMMV.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
Got the blank contacts loading screen today.

Anyone else get this? Any fix?

Dicho por el E4GT de latinmaxima
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
it happened once here, i have a feeling due to syncing google+ contacts. i resolved it by leaving that off, clearing contacts/contact storage data in settings>applications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TBarb169:
Cant wait for the drop the little birdie has coming for us!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dunebuggydude11:
Just a quick question, but is there supposed to be a delay when you press the home button? The other keys (menu,back and search) are all instantly responsive, but the home key has a short delay before vibrating and then going to the home screen. Or is this just another bug that will be fixed? thx

I'm obviously not calk but what is there to improve on calk's beast of a gingerbread rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree. Calkulin could have stamped a "Final" on 2.8.1 and I would have been good with that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ok, considering GPS Status used 14% of my battery, I would say this is much better than I expected. About 25% of the time on 3g. I always leave wifi on even when away from it....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dasmoover:
The Camera app does not detect either camera, any workarounds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
just curious, with all the NS4G talk would you please clarify if your E4GT is activated on the Sprint network? I thought i saw you mention you primarily used your NS4G.

thanks

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
Thanks calk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Oh, absolutely. I have 2 lines. I used to have a 3g USB internet P.O.S. that didn't work half of the time. Sprint was nice enough to let me out of my 2 year contact without an ETF, reset the line, and I got this phone at new 2 year price. My Nexus line used to be an OG Epic which is why I know all of the the ins and outs on this phone. My Nexus line will be due for an upgrade in either June or July. I am sitting in a great position right now because I can grab a Galaxy Nexus or SGS3 and still keep this phone when development is in its prime.

Edit..I should add that my bill actually got cheaper because I pay for a family plan so instead of $70 for the USB internet card, its $10 or $20 (whatever additional line cost is) so it was well worth carrying 2 lines. Insurance on both phones. Sprint has treated me great from day 1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
Calkulin, im not at all trying to be picky. Thanks for sound roms and interesting/usefull features. Cheers mate!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
For all with GPS problems.

Try this modified gps.conf file.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ypazni2233dp06h

I didn't have problems but this file did speed up the lock a little bit.

I put this file together long ago for my previous phone and decided to try it on this one. I'm not sure it's not a placebo effect but I think this made things a little better.

I don't know yet how to make a flashable zip so you have to manually push/place/copy this file to /system/etc/ folder.

I used root explorer for that.

Hope it will help you guys and please let me know if it did any good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
John, have you tried Go Locker? It has a setting to set your lockscreen wallpaper the same as your launcher. With GB it works with other launchers besides Go Launcher but haven't tested it on ICS launchers. If it works you could uninstall the gallery. You can't set a wallpaper different than your launcher though. It won't let you overwrite your Rom's settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jwwolfe77:
I can't find where to make my phone vibrate and ring on this rom. I want to do a search on this thread but I can't find the search thread button anymore. Where did it go?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
That doesn't sound dumb at all, Tiffany!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clayginn:
I keep getting this GPSD showing up. It eats the batt and the phone gets hot. I reboot and it gone for a while but happened 4 times over the weekend. Anyone else seeing this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Request - Alarm clock icon removal :)

Turns out samsung/spring broke the GPS settings... Once you enable the GPS chip, sometimes you can't disable it (and it locks it on)... Even if you go into settings and turn off GPS it doesn't shut down the daemon like it should (gpsd is the gps daemon)... Basically it is constantly looking and locking onto sats even while your phone isn't attempting to access the data (loops it and your phone starts to get warm).. Only way to force the daemon off is to reboot (power down the chip and hope it doesn't attempt to connect on reboot)...

Basically, you have to wait for samsung/sprint to fix gps :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Beta 3 is up now......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
Awesome! Is it possible at all to preserve user data when upgrading from beta 2?

EDIT: NVM... re-read OP. "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"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Could we flash this through mobile odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skribbles505:
I have this issue also and spent most of the day trying to correct it. Its definitely a sync issue, but not just with G+. I get it anytime I add more than one account to the phone with contact sync on. For now I've just added all my accounts except Google without the sync on and i'm ok. However if I allow a second account to sync and get the blank contact screen I have not found a way to clear the issue other than a factory reset. I've tried force stopping the apps , clearing their data, rebooting removing the account, stopping the sync, etc in various combinations with no success. Oddly I didn't get this on the stock FB27 Calk posted. If anyone has any ideas or mods to try for this one I'd be happy to test them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
I'm going to mobile odin a kernel with recovery and flash this... you can try that or wait and see how it goes for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
Do we lose CWM once we flash this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Says in the OP that rogue kernel is included, so I don't think we lose CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Do we still need to flash the modem separately?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
AFAIK the modem doesn't change when flashing ROM's, for they aren't baked in. So if you have updated to FB27 then do you don't need to. But if you ODIN a restore .tar then that may bring you back to EL29, in which case you would need to flash the modem again. How were you planning on installing the update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Why hasn't rouge released the repacked fb27 kernel outside this? Just wondering...

So would I wipe all, flash the modem and then the Rom?:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jewid:
Just nand, calks format all, flash and go, the modem is included. I had to flash twice because it didnt come out of startup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
You can flash the ROM and then the modem or the modem and then the ROM. It doesn't matter in this build because the build includes CWM. I always boot fully between flashing anything to make sure it didn't hose up in between.

Sleep of Death

I'm experiencing lock ups after the screen goes off, I have never had any issue with any ROM you have created for any device until now...I guess this is "S.O.D" or Sleep of Death? I just updated this a.m and I found that a complete wipe as well as the format all, even coming from beta 2 is the best option to use, after wipes and fresh install I'm up and running smoothly....Your work is phenominal, keep it up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QwaarJet:
I'm getting S.O.D too, reinstalling now though. Are you saying a clean install from Beta 2 fixed it for you or you're still having the problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dave3000:

Anyone using MyBackup root successfully from the stock FB21 ROM to beta 3 of this ROM, while keeping Market links intact?

I went back to BETA 2 as it has been rock solid for me and the battery life has been amazing even without the battery saver script. This weekend got 26 hours out of my E4GT on BETA2, new record for me.

Perhaps it's the kernel and not the ROM?

Looks like GPS is fixed finally, whereas I was still having issues on the stock FB27, and also, notification sounds is fixed for me as well, where again, I was having the issues with the stock fb27. The only problem Ive run into so far, is missing the stock ICS launcher, and because I have to use launcher pro, the launcher pro calender widget does not work once placed on a home screen. If cause LP to freeze up, then you have to clear data for it to work, which means manually resetting your entire LP configuration... Which Sucks. Other than that, Thank you Calk! Awesome Sauce!
