[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Alright everyone. There seems to be confusion. If installing an ICS rom for the FIRST time, DO THIS:

Install:

Use CWM5: download: (You must be on a gb rom because a gb kernel will not boot an ICS rom) http://holyliving****.com/Darchstar/OdinTar/StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 (md5sum 65e211d6875d8dd12ad795fe13aedd81)

You must flash this with Odin (here's how: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1274337)

Then I suggest you flash the latest stock release with odin (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562042)

Then you can add a custom recovery and kernel to flash this rom, I suggest fc07 or fc15 (go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728).

Now you are ready to flash ICS roms:

Installation Instructions:

You must be running a kernel with CWM.

1) Place the Rom zip of your choice on the internal memory of your phone.

2) Power off your phone.

3) Boot into CWM.

4) Perform a wipe Cache, and Dalvik-cache. Now in Mounts and Storage perform format/system. Now wipe data (factory reset). You can also perform Calks wipe all zip if you want (found here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=928432&d=1330705940) but not needed.

5) Select "install zip from file" and navigate to and select the zip.

6) When it finishes flashing, go back and select "reboot system now". The first boot will take a couple minutes. Subsequent boots will be much faster.

Warning: Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup. Do NOT restore ALL apps with data. If you absolutely must restore something with Titanium Backup, only restore MISSING apps with data.

This is as simple as I can make it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Calk's format all zip wipes everything in one flash. You don't have to wipe individual partitions in recovery. You flash the format zip then the ROM. Also the ROM is much bigger than 62MB. Make sure you are downloading the most current version and not an older update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
See post 683, also the rom MUST be downloaded to pc to guarantee its a good download. OP updated with first time ICS install info...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:
Damn...well my brother always flashed my rom's n stuff.....then he flashed blend Wich I believe was icecream.....I just flashed blazer 4.0 Wich is icecream I believe......and I just downloaded on phone the flashed cuz I don't have PC ATM lol.

So should I just stick with blazer since I don't have PC?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Blazer says EL29 which is GINGERBREAD not ICS (although its themed ICS). Until you can do all of the things in post 683 safely, which you will need a pc for I'd stay where you are at.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:
Ohh ok...well thank you :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Medium use...I am having a hard time even trying other ROMs right now. Everything is so dialed in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
A day and half with over 4 hours screen on,, I'd say it's dialed in really good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah it is just smooth sailing here right now!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] orangemonster:
OK so I'm sure this issue has been addressed but I'm not looking through 84 pages to fine it, is there a fix for the text message notification not working??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Yep, pull the battery, slap it back in and turn the phone back on...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
I know, that's insane! I want his phone lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] orangemonster:
Thankss
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Is my phone really not the normal? I better stop posting screenshots then because I am not trying to gloat. I thought people weren't posting pics because of the XDA app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cerebralzulu:
Which XDA app are you using JC? I sent you a PM a while back. At least I thought I did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
lol maybe its my phone that isn't normal! I do OK on battery but nothing like you. Keep the pics coming IMHO, it just shows the potential that this phone has with a dialed in setup. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am using a black and blue themed version that is before the update. It works great for posting screenshots.. never fails
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
It's a great theme. I see you somehow got my favorite 2 ROMs in that shoot too... Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Its funny how that worked! Venum and strongsteve have similar ideals and standards when it comes to ROMs so its no surprise that we would like Venum so much on ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
An interesting theme mix... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24044872#post24044872, err rom mix lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
My results in flashing while intoxicated usually ends up waking up the next morning with the phone in the floor stuck in a boot loop. I never wake up with something cool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
totally agree on that statement!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
lol I hear ya there!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The options are endless as far as looks on this ROM. Everything seems to work. I can pretty much use any wallpaper I have now. Beasty benchmarks as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well, with the Sprint TV update (thanks kobridge) everything is now working for me on this ROM! No issues whatsoever!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
The xda you sent me doesn't have the black background. Would you mind sending me that one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
Click the menu, go to more, then settings and change display to simple. Restart XDA app and background should be black.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
will update statusbar mod soon :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Need a couple of testers to pm me for a possible loss of notification sound fix... must know how to use Odin... and have experience please... and of course actually get the loss of notification sound on ics rom. Prefer u be on a tw ics rom too...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] orangemonster:
Whenever I go to the downloads on the browser it crashes? Any fix for that? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
What are you trying to download with? Phone or computer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Are you using stock browser or 3rd party?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
lol you guys beat me too it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdss:
How is the sound loss fix coming along ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Its pretty much been isolated (thanks to Evoholic) If you call out then end the call, let screen time out and return to home, don't hit back or home button, and it seems that you won't lose the sound. Try giving it a shot and let us know if it is a good work around until it gets sorted out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
New statusbar mod updated

Battery should display correctly from 1-100

gotta fix something lol...sorry..will reupload
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Sorry if this sounds silly, but, was there a problem with that on this ROM? If so, I must have only looked at the battery percentage when it was in the accurate stage. I have a couple different battery monitors installed, but never seen one different from the others.. Hmmm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
There is nothing wrong with the rom. I changed some xmls around to display battery percent from 1-100 thats all :).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Oh ok, sorry I must have misunderstood. Is the battery icon different as well, or is it the same?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
lol had to fix something. here is the revised download for the minimal statusbar mod for venum's rom.

http://d-h.st/GEX

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

It's basically the statusbar I had in my minimal black and white theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Have any screenshots? This ROM is my only experience with minimal

Thanks Banks! Got the op updated...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] orangemonster:
Stock browser.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] orangemonster:
Also, I am getting awful battery life with this from for some reason, I calibrated my battery and it just got worse, I'm losing 1 percent every minute literally. Help?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
the app "better battery stats" will help you narrow down if you have an app misbehaving. If it isn't an app gone wild, try taking the battery out for about 5 minutes and put it back in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I was hoping for more screenshots from people so I can kang some wallpapers and ideas..lol. is it the app that's preventing people from posting some?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] orangemonster:
Yeah, the app won't let me post screens
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Damn, I thought that may be why. I think the new Tapatalk2 beta works for posting them...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ha! It works. Looks good!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] orangemonster:
The music player is N7, I think its awesome. The font if from root toolbox pro, can't remember the name of it, it is beautiful Widgets and the pic is from the Picspeed wallpapers :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony92170:
Cool ty I have rim toolbox pro. Any chance u can send me apk for n7 when I try and download it says error processing purchase even thou its free
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] orangemonster:
I'm gonna be honest and say I don't know how to do that, if you could tell me I would gladly do that or if anyone could tell me.

No problem, sorry I couldn't help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I Am Marino:
I'm just a Rezound user rolling around other device forums and I gotta say, this ROM looks as slick as I've ever seen one, good job guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I have noticed one thing. I don't know if it is ROM related or if it's KERNAL or MODEM issue. At work, I have always been able to connect to 4g network and browser internet or XDA while talking on the phone through Bluetooth. Lately I've noticed while talking, when I load up something to surf 4g, I am still able to hear the other party, but they cannot hear me until I stop the app that is connected to 4g. I'm on this ROM, FC22 KERNAL and FC22 MODEM. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Im not sure what would cause that. You are not getting force closes?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
AnaKonda Rom coming soon...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cast466:
What a tease

Can't wait, won't have nails from right about now till it comes out, awesome job with the rom, effing love it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alchemist316:
I have tons of screens app fails almost every time ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
No force closes at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Ok Im adding that to my to do list...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankee_gee:
I noticed this today. If I dont answer my phone after it starts rings with in 5 seconds the screen locks up and I'm unable to answer the phone. I can hear a slight hick-up on the ring tone after the 5 seconds.

then receive the error: "Unfortunately , the process com.android.phone has stopped" I have to then press [OK] button to error message or phone will not stop ringing.

Phone will not keep a history of thoses calls...so cant even call the person back.

The only difference between yesterday and today is that now when I receive and email. the phone tell me " you received and email". dont know if it's a ring tone or if it's the voice command on the phone.

I've pulled battery, powered back up. Tested this twice, same result.

Any Ideas?:confused:

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

Looks like I had " Driving mode " enabled (widget). I disabled it...all working, no longer get error above, it went bye, bye.:D

Thanks,

Frankee
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah aside from the notification sound issue (which work around solves) I still haven't had a single issue on this ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
Me either. I read some other threads and everyone seems to be talking about all of the bugs in the ICS leaks, but don't have any problems on this Rom at all. Haven't had any force closes at all, unless its something that I have done to cause it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sedlik:
Text/background issues

This ROM kicks A$$. My only issue is with some of the black text on grey background theming for dialog boxes and some Gmail messages. It makes it pretty much impossible to read in low light and/or direct sunlight. Any way I can change the text color/background color?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Well they are xml edits within the theme... If suwu10 updates the theme I will make sure to include them...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Bumped with these. I don't know WTF is happening today!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I am on this ROM, currently running FC24 MODEM, which is doing well, and FC24 KERNAL I extracted from Calk's FC24 ROM. Of course it is too soon to judge how well the KERNAL is doing. So far so good. No snags or hiccups I can tell.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alchemist316:
I've been running this on both my et4gs and with different setups fc 22 vs 24 etc still waiting to see major difference testing ocing and battery to signal of the different modems as well as ones themed with dazed theme other is stock venum . I think its safe to say I like this rom lol still impressed more and more thanks...

Can't wait on that update !!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Let us know what differences you see with the modems and such
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
Just flashed this now...looking great! I've been running another ROM for a minute, but this looked too nice not to try. Just booted up....now to get all my apps back!!! Thanks again for this one!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Thanks everyone for the great feedback and keeping the thread clean :D still working the AnaKonda rom...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I just flashed this from my gmas nursing home. Lol. My son looked at my phone and said "Whhoooaaa!" and "That's awesome!!" This rom has been great from the start. Cant wait for codes to be finalized... Lookin very forward to this and your upcoming AnaKonda rom!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Looking forward to this one...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
Can't wait brotha. Got to say, I don't know why I didn't jump on this ROM earlier...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rayandreas:
I have nothing but great things to say about this rom...Its been rocking since day one and there are no problems with it.

Works like a champ and I appreciate Venum and all who has helped making this rom sweet! Dazed, your theme is an asset to this rom also. Kind of like icing on an already delicious cake!

Keep up the good work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
Thanks so much. Btw, sent you a pm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BIGCOIN:
I love this rom too but wait til AnaKonda! Boy are we gonna be in for a treat. VeNuM is the man!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony92170:
How is the new from coming?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Hey all. This looks nice. Looked thru some of the thread but didn't see an answer immediately. I've noticed on some ics roms with custom kernels both Netflix and modern combat 3 get issues, force closes or freezes. I like both of those. Can anyone confirm these work b4 I flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well the issue with the kernel w/recovery is apps that install to SD. You can do the unmount work around to solve that though. I am still running an all FC15 setup with stock kernel and I haven't had a single FC, reboot or freeze of any kind. My results have been so good that I haven't had any urges to flash anything until today's tar (which I still haven't tried) Those that know me know that I will usually leave a ROM if I have a single reboot, freeze etc but I can honestly say I haven't! Today's screenshot... I am loving this wallpaper I just got. Its already one of my favorites
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Yes I'm aware of the work around for the apps that install to SD. But again those two apps are touchy with these ics builds. I'm on stock rooted fc22 now cuz both the apps work. If anyone can chk for me I'd appreciate it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Oh OK. I can't comment on MW3 but Netflix, NBA Jam, Need For Speed Shift etc all work perfectly fine for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Appreciate that. I'm probably gonna give it a shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony92170:
Netflix hasn't had issues since fb27. If there are problems its probably user error
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Actually the issue is still apparent on aosp. I guess since this isn't aosp, it's not an issue. By the way I flashed it and modern combat 3 works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Good to know. I don't play it but always good to know what some troublesome apps are and are good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
bump. Been too quite in here. Take it everyone is having good luck with this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
No doubt. Been a very strong rom without any problems. Can't wait to see what he comes up with in the AnaKonda Rom, he seems to always surprise me with how stable these roms have been. Good to see you hanging out in here Rounsy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
you as well dazed. I see you have a new tag on your theme, Congrats :cool: this rom has been as stable as any that I have used on any phone. I just cant help but wonder what this will be like once source is released.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Hey everybody, sorry I haven't been on here much the last couple of days but been busy with work... I'll have time the next 3 days to finish AnaKonda though :D... If my perfection thing doesn't get the best of me lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Don't be sorry. I was just breaking the ice in here as there really hasn't been any feedback good or bad lately. when a dev who normally is active in their thread is quite, usually that means they are cooking up something yummy in the kitchen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Somethings seriously wrong with your phone dude if you can't odin properly. I'd flash it and see what happens. But fyi I think its a matter of time before it bricks... But thats ok because you can take it in and say, "I woke up and it was like this..." and get a new one... I know this isn't what you want to hear but thats what it sounds like... :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
My screenshots are ok... Thanks for the download!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I'm not sure, haven't read up on it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I came from the same rom; here is my exact procedure

from rogues recovery, first format system

then wipe data

then wipe cache

then wipe dalvik

then wipe battery stats

then run caulks full wipe

then flash rom

easy peasy, first boot takes about 3 minutes or so

I flashed the fb07 modem BEFORE I switched to this rom, but, I guess you can flash that any time you want to

this rom has ZERO issues, BTW
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
If it says No Partition found, then your emmc is fried and your phone is most likely hard bricked. Same thing happened to mine a couple of weeks ago and I had to get my phone replaced.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
This rom with fc07 modem and kernel... Insane... GPS locks 5 seconds
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Yeah it looks like fc07 modem is the way to go... Staring a fc07 build... Probably skip fc06 update... :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
This is the BEST way to flash a rom and is VeNuM approved!! Thanks wase!;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
glad you approve bro..

I have been using this method for MONTHS, to flash gb roms, ics roms, miui, cm9, and back and forth

As long as you have a custom recovery on your phone, and you follow these EXACT instructions, in this EXACT order, you will never have a problem flashing to or from anything..CM based roms may have some additional steps in the end, like wiping data, or the like, but, you still have to do these steps first for trouble free flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musikalharmony:
Thank you...I'm not hard bricked lol my phone is a G lol for a girl ima flash a holic so its been real good to me honestly I think maybe I should re download the files if that doesn't work ill just go on a flash over this rom if I brick O have insurance lol so I'll work it out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Alright peeps... uploading fc07 now... be careful with the volume (damn whiskey)... this f*****s loud!! Just hit the thanks button please!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
Thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Hunh??????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
Nope I used it 6 times and it shuts off, and bs it would stay on after the 1st time... I'm on fc07 modem and kernel.. While I was on fc06 I had that issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sakenfenc:
I had this issue with all ICS roms if I open google nav or maps more than 2 or three times GPS is stuck on icon and all the only way to reset is to reboot.

rummor has it samsung broke the gps with their spring code not sure tho????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shawnten:
Dont know if it has been discussed and I am not searching so for anyone who wants to know. Bluetooth audio works flawless with this rom sounds awesome in my truck and at home with my bose Bluetooth speaker best ics Rom yet.

Wow, I'm just getting this??? Provide a logcat.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
Well with fc07 its gone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
Like Rounsy said, no need to be sorry. I'm sure most of us knows what it's like to be busy with work. Everyone seems to be liking that perfection thing, because you definitely don't see complaining going on in this thread. Thanks for the congrats Rounsy, I really like being part of this team.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] basketthis:
Interested in this 3G speed hack. Gonna try this out!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bds120:
Looks like I am going to have to go back from ICS. I have had this ROM for about 2 weeks now and I am just having issues. I like the ROM personally and the developer definitley gets praise.

My issues have been Notifications silencing, Live Wallpaper stopping, *and this is on me because I know every rom doesn't work with every modem* FC24 modem having horrific signal and gps.

Will be back to ICS when it becomes more stable. Still big ups to the developer for building this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
You know that the modem and ROM are independent of one another, right? If you are not getting the best signal, flash a modem that worked better for you. I usually try out the new ones for a little bit, got to say FC24 wasn't very impressive in regards to 3G speed in NYC...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, I am still using FC15 everything myself and I still haven't had a problem...lol. As for the notification sounds, just let phone close out on its own after you make a call (don't hit home or back button) and it won't lose the sound.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alchemist316:
Its funny u say that I noticed in NYC its not to good as well and super slow in port Chester the land of no 4g lol but all carriers are kinda slacking in the Westchester county area . But I'm with john on the 15 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
+1 on that. FC15 is my mainstay until something clearly better rolls along.

By the way, I'm in Queens, no 4G to speak of (at least in my neck of the borough), but once I get to Manhattan, 4G kicks rump... Also, this is the first ICS ROM I've flashed that didn't need any extras to get the GPS working. Makes my Geocaching a WHOLE lot easier...
