Thank Erick since he let me post it :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
sorry for the noobish question, but whats the difference between codename and aokp?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MochaCharok:
They're different ROMs, but pretty similar. Some say Codename is smoother than AOKP.

Also, Codename seems to make performance tweaks easier to make without using a filemanager. AOKP makes aesthetic tweaks easy, but the performance tweaks are a bit harder to get. You'd probably have to use a file manager there or something.

tl;dr

Codename makes performance tweaks easier

AOKP makes aesthetic tweaks easier

(at least, from my experience)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] obelisk79:
I am rather enjoying Codename right now, thinking about trying to build from source on my laptop tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
The only favor I ask is please add an option to turn off the capacitive button lights. I haven't seen the option in any ASOP ROM. They drive me nuts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dunebuggydude11:
can't you just change the automatic brightness setting to 0 for the "buttons"? or do you mean without using automatic brightness?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
AFAIK it's not in any AOSP rom that is currently out. I think T.C.P might have to be able to get the ICS Samsung source before it's even able to be done if it can be that is.

Also first post updated to be a bit more clean. I might change things around again later dunno yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
would you guys kinda consider this a daily rom even tho its in ALPHA, im traveling to ny tomorrow but i also want to run this rom lol :/ just need some opinions..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I've been on the rom since it was released (not updated kernel yet) and honestly its stable enough for me anyways no real major issues other then it does hit airplane mode at times. Yet some have been having the issues on AOKP as well. Bit honestly its stable and rock solid for me no complaints.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
lol thats all i needed to hear, thanks cid..its a go!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] obelisk79:
what a pain it is setting up to build this thing from source... maybe tomorrow I'll get to tinker around with actually compiling.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Or you could just wait for Erick to release his, hoefully today!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
Good luck bro, their repo is messed up. Too 3 days to get the source
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Epic 4G Touch

Rom: Codename Android 1.5.5 (AOSP 4.0.3) 03202012.. NIGHTLY

Kernel: FC18

Radio: FC18

How's that build in your signature working for you? Any hints as to when you will let the rest of us try it out? It looks hot!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
probably when he feels its stable enough for all the NooBs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
can someone report if the sms/mms bug is in this nightly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Hrm...well time to try the no data wipe update again.....I really don't want to lose 40+ lvls of Angry Birds lol

Edit. well actually after I mod the rom for myself first...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Same here! AB Space FTW
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
titanium backup???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mookiejr05:
gotten an error 921 downloading apps from the google play store
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Never use it. Gonna try the Odin el26 wipe cache/dalvik and reboot after install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
heres the rom enjoy guys

http://goo.gl/lucLJ
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
That's a Store error it's not the rom. A lot of us are getting the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
No data wipe (EL26 recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash ROM, flash gapps) working great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mookiejr05:
i know that much probably have to find a earlier apk of google play store

grabbed the vending apk from the first codename build worked fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I've done that the stupid thing auto updates no way around it :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
Need help.....I think I bricked my phone. So I was maji goodness rom before and decided to try this rom. Follow all instructions to preparate for this rom. When I went to install zip it stalled. Being in a panic I called by bf who decided to pull battery. Reinstalled battery and all I get is blue light. Any advice besides get a new phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Can you get into Odin at all? Vol+Down and power. IF you can get into Odin you are not bricked if however you can't get into it it might be a brick :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Thats what I've been trying to tell people, works like a charm if you use pc odin. I have even resorted to not wiping anything and flashing new build over the old. I think this may be an even better idea.

For those folks with market troubles try clearing app data, worked for some.

Or

Try uninstalling market app updates, close market, and reopen.

Just trying to help as I didnt have a problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
MMS works well for me. I do have Go SMS Pro installed, although I don't use it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
Can't get to download mode either or to cwm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
No data wipe worked sweetness...Now to just get rid of the stupid Triangle...Thank GOD for Triangle away!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Thats a brick :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Mobile Odin flashes EL26 just fine with no triangles
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Not worth it to me since I'm always by a PC that I can do things on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Ha OK. I dual boot Win7 on my MacBook... it's not quite as convenient. Whatever works to get this kickass ROM running
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Yeah if I was away from a PC most of the time I would do the mobile odin thing but honestly I just about always have my laptop with me outside of on some days in school. And in that event I just wait till later to flash so not a big deal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Just wanted to say thanks to TCP, and also the op!! I have been following exact directions on installation and 2 times when I was on Codename and installed cwm el26 and tried to just flash straight from the rom, I get stuck on first Samsung screen afterwards.. So, I odin back and do it all over... I've been flashing roms for a year now.. Thanks again for the update and for this great creation!! Ths rom is my roc!

Here's what I did, as stated by op..

install cwm, el26 via Odin 1.85, boot straight into recovery, wipe data and caches, flash rom, then gapps, then reboot..then stays on first sammy screen for 3 minutes..

So I do Odin..Cm7...Then reflash it all via cwm 5.0.2.7..

I'm not complaining at all. I just fiugured I'd share that..

Thanks again for the update guys!:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol some bf.. never do battery pulls on androids unless the phone is literally frozen.. and ESPECIALLY DO NOT pull battery out while its flashing in CWM! you now have a brick if you cant get into download mode.. time to get on the phone with sprint and hope they will replace it for you..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I think it's hit or miss with some people on the update honestly. I've tried it before and it didn't work however this time it worked perfectly. It's part of the reason I've not put it in the OP as of yet. I could and just put a warning that it's not 100% I just have not done it yet honestly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
I hate to see that. I would be getting with Sprint cause just a blue light without being able to get into download mode or CWM is definitely a brick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Yea, tell them you woke up, unplugged your phone, and thats how you found it. Sucks.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
The only time I've ever had to pull battery in cwm was when I sometimes get hung on installing a modem.. Then I wait 4-5 minutes and if it's still stuck on "installing modem" then I pull and reboot, and start over... I hate to see anyone get a brick. Man that sucks! I was dumb and took stupid chances using Rogue to flash, but now I'm all ears!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
So quick question. Is the only difference in the latest nightly working 4g? Cause I don't have 4g so just seeing if it's worth updating from Alpha 1?? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Ya, I used the Rogue ICS re-packs several times to flash in the past and never had any issues but after seeing so many bricks I don't even think about it. I just use Mobile Odin or Odin from the pc to flash the EL26 w/CWM which only takes an extra minute if that. Rather be safe than sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Yea I have just flashed a ACS El26 CM7 kernel and restored backups as well. It works but hey let's not get people who are noobs trying stuff they have no business doing. Safer that way
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Yea, I was giving Gummy another test and used EL26/cwm to restore my codename backup before I flashed the 1.5.6 update, but thats a whole nother story lol. I didnt wipe anything this time before installing the Codename update. Worked perfectly, I have been using this method lately from somthing I read in the CM9 thread. Worked like a charm....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Tiffany: The nightlies have been giving me much better battery life and overall performance than Alpha 1. MMS is more consistent
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
K. Thanks for the reply.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
Hey, after seeing a few mentions of "battery pulls" I just wanted to make sure everybody knows that our phone has a pretty nifty trick built it - Just hold the power button, no matter where you are, and it will reboot. Saved me from prying my case & back cover off countless times :D

edit: have to hold it about 8-10 seconds, but it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fendulon:
Awesome, updates are good.

Is 4G the ONLY thing changed? If so I'll pass because I don't have 4G in my area unfortunately. But if there are other fixes I'll flash soon.

Thanks for the update TCP, this really is an amazing ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Going to test out a few roms today :-) I have a rom not released to test out.. then want to flash gummy and see how that goes.. and most likely will come back to code name latest build :-).. let the flashing begin! I'm going to use latest rogue repack too, been using I over el26.. will let everyone know how it goes and if you don't see a message from me later I'm bricked :-) haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
To everyone getting the 921 error in the play store. I get this when flashing new ics roms too but find that it clears itself up in 5-10 minutes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scottndville:
Has anyone flashed codename over gummy with minimal wipe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
does this rom suffer from the android os bug?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I think all 4.0.3 roms do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
All 4.0.3 roms do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Gummy getting 3200 quadrant scores when code name was getting over 3600.. other than that I like the option to change status bar color so might stick with it for a bit.. either way gummy and code name roms are awesome!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
yeah i remember reading that now that you both mention it. bah, humbug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
On another note Codename 1.5.6 seems to be sipping my battery ever so slowly!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I think it's wifi. Do you leave it on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dgr581:
So many awesome choices, I cant decide
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Well, for me, Gummy hasnt produced any LOS in 24 hours. So if that has been a problem for you, you could try it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
I have only left it on when in use on all builds, but battery life just seems a wee bit better. Hard to tell until I go thru a couple cycles though.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

I havent had LOS ever since the FC22 modem/kernel combo on any build.

On a side note:

I noticed 1.5.6 includes Musicfx app, but has no music app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I ask because I tried something different today. I turned it off when I wasnt around wifi. Then when I got home, I decided to change my scan interval to 190. Seems to have helped alot. Atleast for today. I have actually gotten 12 hours with 22% left. I know doesnt seem like much but in comparison to the other aosp roms, this has made me very happy. Lol. I hope it is because of this change, I want to go back to AOKP. Although, it seems Gummy is just a bit smoother. Then again, it may have just been my frustration with signal that made every other little quirk stand out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
4G works but acts a bit weird when I start it the first time which is not a big deal honestly. I have not tried sms/mms with the stock app as I'm messing with my phone and a few things so not really talking to anyone right now to test them but I'm pretty sure sms is going to work like always only issues I've had is when sending long txt messages and having them transfer to a mms message and it would fail. Beyond that Battery life (while I'm also going to give it a few days) looks pretty much about the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
Is the flashing procedure still the same, even if coming from the previous Codename version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I Odin'd the el26 kernel wiped cache/dalvik and flashed the rom+gapps and didn't wipe data and it worked millage may vary however.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
I have always set my wifi scan interval to 180, maybe that explains my success with battery life.

I agree Gummy was a bit smoother, but Codename is no slouch....I'm loving it right about now. Gotta thank Erick for another great update! The dude is a machine when it come to pumping out ASOP roms!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Sms issue is killin me.. if sms is too long it fails to send.. why wont it split it into two!? Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Lately I havent been wiping anything when updating a rom and having great success. A little something I read in the CM9 thread that seems to work well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Just use GO SMS and split it with that app and it does work. Not sure what the deal with with the stock one it's something Erick would have to look into not sure he has had the time lately though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garyr2548:
So gummy has been good for you and LOS???? I am still getting them on Aokp but not a frequently as before when we talked. I switched back to Calk GB rom because I am going out of town and must have consistant phone service but as much as Calks was once my favorite I can't wait to get home and go back to codename Aokp and now gummy.... I hate TW and already miss Ericks work! And it has only been 6 hours since I flashed back.... ugh!!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
And now you see why I can never go back to a TouchWiz rom ever again. Even if it was not Erick doing these roms but another dev my love for AOSP roms is far greater then any OEM UI Overlay ever will be. The fact erick is doing them makes it so much nicer however :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dweeze87:
I cant find the scan interval in Gummy? Where abouts did you find that at?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I have not as of yet. I cant remember if I did on any other rom while running FC22 combo. I know I lost data completely on Codename but Cidica pointed out that my data may have just been turned off in my settings. Didnt check before I flashed back to AOKP, then I immediately flashed Gummy. I have been pretty happy, not having LOS is like having a monkey removed off my back so I havent wanted to move. Kinda like getting signal on an old antenna hooked to your tv "DONT MOVE! Dont move, thats perfect. Now I can see my Jeopardy." LOL. I am a flashoholic so I may just back up my gummy and try something else.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Rom Toolbox.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dweeze87:
I forgot to even look there. What a great app too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Love it. Bought it a while back and use it with every rom I have used.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Updated the OP with the SMS to MMS issue and dropped in a link to GO SMS Pro while I was at it. If anyone sees anything wrong/not correct with the OP let me know however. Right now I'm not going to put in the update from rom to rom as honestly it really is hit or miss with some of us. It either works or it does not for some people. If more people start sounding off that it's working for them and there are no issues I may add it later but right now I really do not want to put anything about it there as I don't want issues to crop up cause of that one thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dweeze87:
Is it safe to flash backups out a rogue repack?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Im not having MMS issues with 1.5.6. I thought Erick may have addressed it in this build cuz settings have changed. No longer is the option to split message after 160 characters. Anyway, GOSMS is much nicer than the stock messaging app when configured properly. Perhaps a fresh install may help, but like I said MMS was working for me even before GOSMS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I'm not sure if he looked into the issue as He didn't really say anything. Think I'm gonna have to have him give me a fixed/semi working list lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
I would not. I just odin EL26/cwm, restore, flash kernel, and reboot. No problems thus far.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

I kinda figured he did since settings within the app have changed and it was working for me...I guess YMMV.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dweeze87:
Just thought that I had an idea to keep AOKP, Codename and Gummy backed up for quick flashing as long as they were backups from a Rogue repack. I wish I had a spare phone to try it out to see if it would work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Sms fails to send with me if its too long with stock and with gosms.. mms works with go sms and receiving works as well :-). Just need to type small sms messages instead of a big one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
I have heard far too many ICS/rogue recovery horror storys. Like I said, I do all my backup/restoring within EL26/CWM. Just keep a copy of the FC22 kernel in the OP on your sdcard and your good to go. I have been doing plenty of switching/testing between the 3 and all is good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Use the split feature that's in GO SMS I've sent txt messages that were like 7/7 with it and they have never failed. And this is on the current one. (todays build)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Go into GOSMS settings and check the option to split message at 160 characters.

Edit: cidica beat me to it lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Yeah, I back up using EL26 and Restore from it too. Have my own little system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dweeze87:
So do I just flash the backup and right after thats complete just flash the kernel in the op and boot back up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Thats what I do, except I wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory restore prior to restoring.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Thats right. Has worked every time so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkfire2024:
Can you guys convince me why I should flash codename 1.5.6 instead of cm9?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
More customizable options. I havent tried the new CM9 but codename is pretty damn snappy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
+1....Codename is pretty damn snappy! I tried CM9 alpha cuz I'm a flashaholic, but I'm right back here! Give it a shot, it takes 10 minutes to backup/restore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
For some reason this always results in getting stuck at sgsII screen for me. However, odining el26 kernel, flashing cm7, rebooting recovery, flashing rom + gapps, then wiping cashe/dalvik seems to work perfectly for me. Odd..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Yeah which is one reason I'm not adding that method to the OP. For some it's working and for others it's not working at all which sucks. :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Hard to convince in all honesty without a person really giving it a shot. I've used CM since back in the days of the G1 and CM is a great rom hands down. However depending on what kind of user you are CODENAME might have a few more things in it that you might actually like. More tweaks and things you can do directly from the rom it self have a look at post #4 for screen shots I tried to cover a lot of the stuff with them. The rom is smooth as silk yes it does have small issues here and there but for the most part ther eare work a rounds for the small things. Some of the issues CM9 currently has CODENAME is going to have as well and right now there is nothing to do to get around that video does work however play back of something you record does not which is the same on CM9.

Honestly CODENAME is something if you like AOSP you should give a try CM9 or not. Each person is different however some like it others do not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Has anyone tried replacing the mms.apk from the latest nightly with the one from Alpha 1 in order to get the option for auto split back? Just wondering if it caused issues before trying. Don't see why it would but u never know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Honestly have not tried I went to Go SMS and since I liked it before it was worth it for me. am downloading a1 now for cm9 might give it a go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
no it shouldnt, ill add it in tomorrows nightly :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Didn't think it would. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Yeah just swapped in the CM9 MMS.apk file and it's working fine. The split 1/2 is there gonna see if it will actually send however. I did notice that the codename mms.apk is like 1.2+ meg and the cm9 one is like 600+k however O.o

Edit.

The split works I turned it off and it still split the msg though so it looks like it splits them auto by default O.o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SungTzu:
There's an option in the stock messaging settings to turn on the auto split.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Do you have gosms installed during this testing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1565085 finally stopped being lazy and opened the thread :D get ur post in before u go to second page
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
No it's uninstalled actually. It's still splitting msgsing but the split option is not in the CM9 mms.apk the setting to turn on msg 1 of 4 and so on is there but not to turn of the split.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Not in the latest codename 1.5.6 messaging app.

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

Same thing with codename messaging app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Well the secret is out again for CODENAME lol. Once Erick has what he needs from the OP I might remove the stuff (at least the link not sure yet)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
So the option to turn it on is not there just like in codename but its splitting anyways?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
just keep it for the noobs lol :cool::cool: and thanks for the copy/paste
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
yeah. I can turn on the msg that will show it's msg 1/2 and so on ut the toggle for turning on split msgs is not there even with the CM9 mms.apk file.
