So, the lack of responses makes me assume there are no themes compatible with this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I've only seen maybe 2 ICS themes, nobody is making them because these ROMs are going through enough changes without throwing a theme into the mix. Truly, I don't think anyone is going to really bother until the OTA release. The problem with themes also is they can change the framework, systemui and a lot of the main apps the phone uses so if they are not made for your EXACT rom, there could be a lot of problems. I'm not making excuses, just pointing out some basic reasons we aren't there yet. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
^ What he said. There won't be many themes until the official ics release. Whenever the official ics is released and calk does his thing, i will be updating my theme. :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schlonky:
Performing certain functions in recovery (mostly custom recoveries, but I believe a case of a stock recovery brick has been reported) while running an ICS kernal has lead to some hard bricks. To avoid this scenario it is recommended to use Odin to flash Chris41g's EL26+CWM recovery kernal prior to flashing any CWM .zips (including backups).

Flashing .tar's via Odin seems to always be safe, barring hardware issues with the cable, etc, though Odin can occasional reveal the damage caused by a prior operation as it will fail flashing the /data partition.

Simply running an ICS Rom seems to not be a risk and ironically, depending on how you were to flash back to GB, your plan to go back to GB to be "safe" might actually bring on a brick.

Hey All

Hey Calk,

Hoping for a fresh upgrade soon to one of the new leaks, FE10 seems pretty good so maybe using that.

Thanks for your work,

Since Calk's Roms are my favorite place to be, I thought I would drop this here.

As some of you already know the Galaxy SIII rom was released recently. You really should check out the new Svoice app ripped from that rom. Please try it out and let me know if it works for you! Thanks.

Whats the best way for me to downgrade to Calks EL29 3.0 without getting bricked? I am on 1.5 with FE17 ACS kernal. Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dafluke24:
Use Sfhub's One click to odin back to EL29 (you can use EL26, but I've use EL29 many times flashing back from ICS)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

This should take you back to stock, then you need to run his Auto-root to gain root access and install CWM recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

Then in CWM, run Calk's format all and then install Calk's 3.0 rom. Just a reminder, when you Odin back to EL29, your modem gets back to EL29 as well. If you want to run one of the ICS modems, just flash that modem zip in recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
This pretty much applies to flashing any rom:

If you just installed it, the rule of thumb on ANY rom is to let it settle for at least 2-3 full charge cycles.

The first day is typically, but not always, poor battery life. Give it a chance and if it doesn't settle in properly or you are having other multiple problems, you may have to reflash the rom again.

It is easy to blame problems on the rom, but be patient and ask questions. That is why we are here. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dajtm:
battery life issues

Not blaming anything had it installed for a week or longer just wondering if there was anything I could do to improve.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dafluke24:
Unfortunately, that's going to be hard to suggested because it all depends on what you have installed and running in the background. Every phone is going to be different due to everyone's phone usage. You can download betterbatterystats and see which apps are using alot of the battery.

Aside from the normal battery saving tips, not every phone will have the same battery life. That's just how it is. Personally I'm back on Calk's 2.9.2 because I can squeeze out almost 2 days before a charge. One Calk's 1.5, the most I got was a day, which is excellent by my own standards, but I'm the type that likes to push the limits :D

Plus I can live without ICS for now until it's finally official.

I know this may not be an answer you're looking for, but sometimes it is what it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:

Additionally, I would suggest a complete odin back to stock, redownload the rom and reflash it according to the instructions in the OP.

modem flashing on ics

still wrapping my head around the epic4gt here. Can someone educate me on safely flashing a modem on this rom. Not doing well with stock and dont want to risk a brick. More specifically can I use mobile odin ? (tar of course) Are people flashing with the included repacked kernel or odin back to a el26cwm first ?\
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
I flash everything with the included recovery. The safest way is to use Odin or mobile Odin however. Still, never had a problem in this ROMs recovery.

Sent from the void..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
I'm not sure if it's still a problem or not but a lot of people have reported problems flashing modems with MO. Be prepared to flash multiple tines or simply use Odin.

All other parts flash normally.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nutt318:
When you say let it settle for 2-3 days do you mean try not to use it at all? Just wondering because ever sense going from Caulks GB to his ICS I'm getting the same horrible battery life. I mean maybe one 10min phone call and checking a few emails and it barley lasts 12hrs.

Should I do the wipe on the original post and then flash the rom and basically dont install any apps? Can I setup email to sync contacts?

Just trying to figure out what I should do to give it the best possible chance to get good battery life again. Just a little frustrated.

Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The battery settling was just a general statement that applies to any ROM. I wouldn't say that 12 hrs is horrible for an ICS rom. I've seen tons of complaints about battery life with ICS and also I've seen some people getting pretty good battery life.

Honestly, I have always struggled with battery life. From my experience, every phone has a different experience with roms. I see claims of over 24 hours battery life with pretty decent usage but I've NEVER been able to achieve that with any rom (on my phone). :confused:

Let me ask, what has your experience been like running a GB rom like Calk's or Blazer ROM? If you can get really nice usage out of the GB roms (and that is what you want your goal is), I would stick with those for now. The ICS roms are still going through growing pains and you have to expect that it's not going to be perfect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nutt318:
I ran Calks GB rom for a long time and it was awesome, super snappy with awesome battery life. I would use it for mutiple phone calls, text messages, email, a game here or there and would be at 40-50% or so when I charged it at night. But with the ICS rom its super slow trying to switch screens, and it always drains the battery super fast. For example I unplugged my phone from the charger and its already at 83%. I havent even used the phone, no games, to text, to phone calls, its just sitting there and its been off the charger for only 2.5 hrs. That hopefully isnt normal.

Anyways I'm guessing I just just go back to Calks GB rom. However if I do that I've read that I can brick my phone. Is there a easy or proper process on how to go back to GB?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Thanks for editing my post, I tend to drone on... ;)

Odin back to stock rooted GB. I posted a tutuorial here if you need it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24158551&postcount=9980

Also, you may want to save your stuff and format your internal and external SD's before doing the stock rooted restore to remove any residual app or temp files to make sure you truly start out fresh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nutt318:
Haha, your post was good info but just wanted to reply back to your question :)

Thanks for the link, I'll give it a shot and see how it is. I'll definitly remove my sd card and backup pics and stuff and format it as well.

Should I have formatted the SD card before going to ICS? Cause I didnt do that. If so I could give ICS one more chance if you think its worth it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moonsbabe:
triangle

I went back to this rom after playing with a few others. I got the triangle again and thought no big deal. I would just use triangle away. Always worked before. Not this time. I have used three different installers and they all say 'there is a problem parsing the package'. I uninstalled and reinstalled triangle away apk. I don't know what this means. Thanks in advance!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The formatting thing is just my preference.

I think of it like installing a new os on an old hard drive on my pc without formatting it first. Why take any problems with ya, you know? The odin back to stock just wipes out all of the android OS partitions but doesn't really mess with the SD's except for caching and temp files.

If you use titanium (or MYBackup Root, whichever), make sure you back up that folder off of the SD too so you can easily restore some of your apps if you choose to go that route.

Edit: I don't know if that makes a difference with installing ICS but I try to do it whenever I switch back and forth anyway.

Sounds like either a bad download or a bad flash. Do a full wipe, redownload and reflash the ROM. If it were just one app, we could help but it sounds like a new install is the way to go.

How did you make out? Good point, could be the pc. If you are using KIES, remove it and try installing the full Samsung Driver Suite : http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe

Try different usb ports or a different pc. Another easy thing to try is to boot into recovery, select mounts and storage, and pick one of the USB Mass Storage modes. This is a simple way to mount the SD's while in recovery so you can copy files (even if the ROM won't boot, it's pretty cool :)).
