Alias8188,

Please leave the kernel stock as it is, and to those who want can change it to a custom version because i have experienced it better than other's especially battery life.

Shadow kernel has been nothing but wacky battery life one day i can get barely 8Hours with only 1.5Hours of screen on time with a 1800 mAh, then the next day i can get 18Hours and 3.5Hours of screen on time.

It should left as is, and leave it to those who want to change it to whatever kernel they may choose.

haha i was fully kidding / effing with you. the new nav bar stuff looks sick. so does the nexus.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
So it was the capacitive buttons, not Samsung's arbitrary design decision, that determined our screen size... interesting... so, how did HTC overcome that limitation with the 4.3" screens on the OG Evo? :D

I'm teasing a bit - there is no way you can logically consider the capacitive buttons to be a limitation on the size of a screen. But on-screen buttons have a direct impact on available screen space... and on-screen buttons can't be guaranteed to always be available. When they are available, we can't guarantee that they will be in the same place - the slightest glitch could alter the button coordinates a little or a lot with equal probability. Many other things can go wrong that make on-screen buttons less reliable than dedicated buttons...

Regardless, we're Epic 4G users - many of us have delayed phone upgrades in order to hold on to the only decent phone with a physical keyboard (at least with Sprint) - we're a community that tends to appreciate physical buttons over touch-screen equivalents ;)

Just saw this, and I can address a couple of points in there for the sake of being realistic:

It is not inherently faster to type one way or the other - that depends on the user. Let's say person A types faster on touch screen than on hardware, while person B is the opposite. Nothing in those statements implies that person A's fastest touch screen typing speed can't still be slower than person B's hardware keyboard speed (and even B's touch screen typing speed). In other words, many people who type faster on touch screens may simply type so slow on hardware keyboards that it would be difficult to type slower... Anyone who says they type faster on one over the other, is only comparing to themselves.

And your fingers are not greasy, they are oily - just like everyone else's. Our skin produces oils, or it would dry up and turn to dust while we were still using it :)

Also, is there anyone out there who can use the on-screen nav bar without losing screen space? Think about it... ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
You still missed the point :D I was just saying its too bad you can fully enjoy it without losing space. That's neither here nor there in fact its right over there ->

It's like one centimeter...even my wife wouldn't miss that ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Neither can you, unless you have a separate touch screen for the nav bar... THAT would be cool....

One little request. It would be nice if we had the option of using WiFi prior to setup. Restoring and signing in to Google would be considerably faster.

As much as I dislike the unicorn boot animation, I like that the ROM calls me a Jerk. when I disable it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
I think I read somewhere that it works fine if you install an older version of busybox. 1.19.x works I believe. Since cm9 and aokp updated to 1.20 is when the minfree problem started. A work around that I found for getting the minfrees and sysctl tweaks to stick is this: when you run the script it will set the minfrees, but they will reset when you reboot, as will the sysctl tweaks with kak. If you have rom toolbox installed, after you run the scripts and before you reboot, you can go into rom toolbox, on the performance page go to kernel tweaks<sysctl conf, and check "apply on boot," then, back out to the performance menu again, scroll down to auto memory manager, and do the same.

Without using v6 and kak, the sysctl values are as such;

MFkB: 15360

Dirty ratio: 90

Dirty bg ratio: 65

Vfs cache pressure: 25

Oom kill allocating task: false (unchecked)

The minfrees for option 7 (the highest option) are:

Foreground: 8

Visible: 14

Secondary server: 75

Hidden app: 90

Content provider: 95

Empty app: 125

I believe these are the correct values, but they may be off by a little in a few spots (I don't think so tho). One problem is that rom toolbox won't allow the slider to go beyond 120, so the only way to set empty app to 125 is by running the v6 script and choosing option 7 first. Rom toolbox will reflect the higher value. You can then set them to apply at boot and v6 won't be needed for those values. That's not to say it isn't needed tho. There are other options that v6 offers that I don't know how to change without the script (bullet proof apps and nitro lag null for example). But anyways, hope this helps someone, and like I said, try installing an older busybox (1.19.x by sterricson or wraith are available on the market.) I think that's what's causing the problem.

Good luck! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
Man, this is why I hate android. Its so locked down.

They should allow you to customize a rom that you put on, like say flash a kernel you feel is better than the one the OP chose.

And who designs googles phones? Why make the galaxy nexus with a 4.5 inch screen and the galaxy s with a 4inch screen the same length? Sucks that our capacitive buttons take up the same space as the onscreen perm buttons on the nexus :/ why do I get to use my entire screen and still have the 4 basic buttons while the galaxy nexus gets to use a fraction of its pixels to have basic function :/ they still get to walk away with using MOST of their available pixels though :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
Aside from witty conversation, I have a somewhat less off-topic question. When I mount USB storage, it always pops up the dumb dialog asking if I want to actually do so. The dialog pops up slowly, so I often put the phone down and start working on the computer only to find that I never okayed the mount and now have to wait another 30-45 seconds for USB storage to actually work. I am know that this is almost a nonissue, but is there anything I can do to get rid of the dialog? I think it's just bugging me right now.

Also, my dirty install of B38 works perfectly. Thanks, Alias!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Alias8818:
I assure you, the stock kernel that's in this ROM is in fact the exact same kernel in CM9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Voodoo color is not a part of this rom - YOU have to add it to the rom via a custom kernel. Therefore, you have no problems with this rom :)

(I try to look at the optimistic side of things, when possible)

Here is my advice:

Step 1: re-install this rom

Step 2: don't replace any part of this rom

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
There is an app on the market that will auto mount your sd card when its plugged in thus avoiding that dialog... its called automount i believe...

Edit- here you go https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrtstudio.automount

Remember debugging must be on (who turns that off?) For this app to work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RickyRage:
Not tryna be sarcastic in any way at all but.....im aware of all of this and i clearly want voodoo......what i meant is that on CM9 i eliminated the green stuff with voodoo, however, i tried those same exact settings on this ROM and i dont get the same result for some reason, and this is with nyan colonel.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
We understand all of that. What you are missing (and we are trying to encourage you to understand, originally without being so blunt) is that ANY issues with a non-stock setup should be discussed in the appropriate thread, in this case the Nyan kernel thread. You will find plenty of users in that thread who deal with those settings, while most users in this thread (all, if we adhere to proper etiquette, at least regarding bugs and issues) are not using that kernel, and therefore have no idea what to tell you.

Asking for help with the Nyan kernel in the stock AOKP thread is like asking Sprint for help with AOKP - just sayin'

Edit: AOKP, CM9... the point is the same, lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
What TW theme?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Actually, aokp handles colors (screen on?) differently that CM9. Just use the non-voodoo color version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Minor mistake, but the point is the same - even if he uses the non-voodoo version of your kernel, he should still use the following process:

1. Read the Nyan thread

2. Post in the Nyan thread, if reading does not reveal the answer he seeks

3. Revert to stock kernel

4.Test for the same issue if applicable (with voodoo issues, this will not apply)

If the problem is still present, only then should he post in the main rom thread. Until then, he (and the rest of us) cannot know for certain whether the problem is with the stock rom or the modified components he added to it
[Epic 4G Android Development] RickyRage:
Which is why i posted here and not in the nyan thread.....but i dont wanna use the non voodoo color version.....i hate the pale look :/.....anyway, i wasnt complaining, was just stating something i noticed cuz i have dealt with for a while now, got rid of it on CM9, stuck with that for a couple days but the battery life wasnt cuttin it

Am I the only bugger who's still using the Samurai kernel? I still prefer it over the others I've tried. I flash it as soon as I flash a new AOKP build.

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:

Thanks for the support.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Doesn't matter, because it is still an issue with a component that is not covered or supported in this thread, no matter how you look at it. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you keep responding as if anything you say will change this fact. It won't.

The reasoning is that this thread should only contain reports pertinent to this rom, which includes a kernel - reports about a different setup, such as this rom with Nyan (or Shadow, etc.) kernel don't belong here. How can the developers address an issue in someone else's source code, except by referring you to that person? Just save them some time, and you'll conserve space in this thread as well.

Does that make sense yet?

Edit: someone beat me to it, somewhat. But I am trying to help you understand why, so it doesn't seem like an arbitrary rule for the sake of making rules

I have a silly question that I haven't seen answered anywhere yet regarding this ROM. Is it possible to successfully add or enable shutdown animations? The reason I ask is because I've had a set of boot/shutdown animations that I've taken with me to every ROM I've used. With this ROM, while changing the boot animation is easy, adding a shutdown animation has so far proven fruitless.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Only possible on touchwiz. Since stock Android isn't written to have a shtudown animation... anything aosp will not have it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
I believe the hyper scrolling issue in CWM was caused by the older version of Shadow Kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Or rather, an earlier Shadow kernel was the pioneer of the scrolling mod (on the Epic, anyway), and the first version had the hyper scroll bug. I think it was only introduced to the stock CM9 kernel after the hyper scroll was solved...

That's just a technicality... your explanation is certainly close enough, but you know how I am with accuracy ;)

Is it too much to ask for a file explorer to be included in the ROM?

I have Titanium Backup stored on my SD card so I don't have to download it every time I want to reinstall my system, but with this ROM, I can't even navigate to it due to lack of a stock file explorer.

Edit: I'm requesting this because being able to restore my apps and data without having to connect to the Market is optimal for my situation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Take 30 seconds-1min and go to the market download your file explore of choice. Simple solution.

The fact one is not including is nice because 1 file explorer is not right for everyone, some people prefer there favorites. If 1 was included and people didn't like it, then they have to go through uninstalling a system app and downloading and installing their file explorer of choice.

I live in a rural area, so that often takes me anywhere from 5-20 minutes. I'm not kidding.

Often times dropping into the "1x" (edge?) signal, and when that's not the case, I'm at 0-1 bars more than 90% of the time.

It's inconvenient for people in a situation like mine.

No I didn't have it on any other builds just this one. Doesn't bother me all that much . And it is random time of the day. I turn my phone of at night to charge .so I couldn't tell you if it does at night or not.

But 1st time I noticed it was after leaving home from wifi range. I went to make a call and saw it was in airplane mode. Then 2 or 3 other random times . During my travels for work.

I just ran the 3g and wifi super charge script so we will see what comes of it. Over the next couple days.

So other than that this build has been great .battery life has been about the same for me also I go thru 3 1800mah a day normally but today I've used 2 . Not sure if airplane mood has anything to do with that or not .

Oooooh, you went there...

I brought this up a while ago too, and I got my head bit off in several different replies.

My reaction hasn't changed. I'm still dumbfounded that a file explorer isn't included in a rom (even if it isn't the one I like).

(Indeed, why include ANYTHING in the rom then- Someone might not like it ;). )

However, since I'm sure that this isn't going to change either, I might suggest that you copy a file explorer app (and even the TB app) to your computer and add them to the rom zip yourself before flashing it.

Or, someone told me to use TB to make an update.zip file that could be flashed right from cwm. I tried this and it didn't work for me. Maybe you'll have better luck. (Admittedly I'm not even sure what it was supposed to do.)

And besides all that - general consensus seems to be that it's a bad idea to restore when installing the rom, that everything should be downloaded fresh and set up from scratch. Although, I successfully restore all user apps and user app data from TB every time and never seem to have any trouble.
