Re: [ROM] AOKP (4.2.1) (Alpha) For the Samsung Epic 4g

Will this rom go 4.2.2???cm 10.1 4.2.2 is nice but I know if aokp went 4.2.2 it be the best out...I like the customization that aokp offers

I agree, a little searching and self help goes a long way!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Do the MMS fix. There's a thread for that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
A simple "I can send MMS, so there's probably something you did wrong" would have sufficed.

Also, I have used A fix, but apparently I should try a different one. It's odd that I can receive but cannot send, however.

My reply was concise for a reason. You flashed to a different carrier and have MMS issues on a rom that works fine. You've strayed from the stock setup due to your carrier changes. There are other threads that will better assist you, given your carrier change situation.

It may not be the case for this phone, but phones such as the Droid 4 don't necessarily state MMS is broken and it is broken in 90% of the roms.

Re: [ROM] AOKP (4.2.1) (Alpha) For the Samsung Epic 4g

Hey @alias, latest build (Mar 6) boots and runs fine and first boot doesn't take 5 min as somebody mentioned. But one big thing is that I can't have the toggle tiles. I know it can be called out via the top-right button in the notification drawer, but when I press it nothing happens (while it SHOULD flip and show the tiles)...

Anyway, a good job yet again! Definitely can't wait to test drive the new Phablet UI addition tomorrow! (wanna see how this works in comparison with AOSPA's) Also can have some screenies :D

Since the build is already stable, maybe OP should be updated...?

Thanks 4 the update Alias
[Epic 4G Android Development] Burban502:
I think I shot myself in the foot by getting an Epic :\ Long story short: Wanted a nice Portable Media Player (PMP), running Android, that had WiFi and good audio. Galaxy S Players were expensive, used or Bad ESN Galaxy S Phones were comparatively much less, so I got a Fascinate. Had AOKP 4.04, Devil Kernel with Voodoo Sound, was loving it! Bumped it off my bed one night while sleeping and it fell in my trash can, didn't know it... RIP Fassy!

Since I wanted a keyboard equipped model anyways, I wanted to get a Stratosphere, but it's apparently even less supported than this Epic which I ended up going with. Coming from being a noob with the Fassy, the flashing/rooting methods on the Epic seem very cut and dry, with very minimal install instructions present. Alas, I followed them to a T as best as I could except I'm running into problems.

First: The mentionings of what CWM to use indicate 5.0.2.7, the Fassy was CWM 4 I believe. Nevertheless, I downloaded 5.0.2.7 and Odin'ed that to the Epic.

Alias' instructions indicate to format the /system after clearing delvik and so forth, but that option is not present in my CWM. There is only "reboot system now", "apply update from sdcard, "wipe data/factory reset", and "wipe cache partition". There is no "Mounts and Systems" menu or option wipe dalvik, and it is overall an unfamiliar build of CWM for me. There is no option to make a nandroid backup either, for that matter.

Regardless I proceeded to try and flash AOKP, but it came up with a signature error :\ I just now checked the MD5 and it is valid, so I assume it has to do with not being able to format the /system as instructed.

Here's what my screen reads:

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
[COLOR="Red"]E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verifiction failed[/COLOR]
Installation aborted.

I tried to flash ShadowKernel-FC09-MTD-v1.0.1-CWMTOUCH just now as well, but it also gave the above error, just minus the "failed to verify whole-file sig" part.

These are the issues I expected to run into with the Fassy, being my first time at any of this, but I think the reason I had zero problems ever is because their install tutorials were kinda idiot proof... which I'm a bit of one, in this regard :eek:

Like the Fassy required, am I missing some initial steps? To get ICS on it I know I needed to flash a base-ROM first (CM7 I think it was) before I could load full-blown CM9 or the AOKP I settled on.

Anyone know where am I going wrong? :confused:

Thanks!

And unless something else comes more recommended, now all I have to do is track down a mirror to Nyan Colonel v5 :\ The search goes on.

Thanks again though, much appreciated! :good:

EDIT: So the same thing is happening when I try to flash... It's GOT to be the SD card I'm using... It's the factory one from a Fassy, but anything I try to flash from that card results in that error. I seem to recall reading something about this last time though. I have a spare card I'm going to try right now, but formatting the card will "fix" the issue or something won't it?

UPDATE: After Odin-flashing some stuff a couple times, trying v1.87 and getting a bad recovery problem, it seems as if either I wasn't in CWM before (there was no Clockwork Orange hat) or it was defaulting to some oddball CWM basic-version. Eitherway, I am now in CWM for sure, but I had to first re-Odin that 5.0.2.7 tar with 1.85 after that botched 1.87 flash.

Anyways, Deodexed DC09 is being installed, scratch that... it's booting right now :victory: Hopefully that means things are finally on the right track!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:
q

Quick few (maybe obvious, still a bit rusty on this stuff) questions...

Question 1 - am I right in my understanding that if I already have "CWM based recovery 5 0 2 7" as my recovery menu (light blue) that I can simply hard reset and then install the zip for this rom from post 3477 without having to install or modify anything else first? I'm currently running an mtd FC09 based custom rom (the peoples rom) right now.

question 2 - does this come with a kernel? If not, is there any particular kind or type I might need to install beforehand?

question 3 - I have heard of some talk of using modem files from the Samsung Nexus S with the Epic - do I need to install one of those first, or can I keep on using my EL30?

question 4 - did they by any chance get either fm radio or usb host working in this release (or any rom for that matter)?

Thanks

bill
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Yes to all 3
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:

Wow, quick reply :). Just for clarification on 3, is that a "yes I need to find a different modem" or a "yes I can keep on using el30"?

thanks.

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
You can use the el30 modem...
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
you do NOT need to use a nexus modem to run latest AOKP that Alias posted ( so "YES" you can keep using Epic modem of choice ).... but you can switch to a nexus modem IF you want to ( just read threads in this same section on how to do so IF you want to switch ) ... Alias did an outstanding job on getting this updated for us to use as is with epic modem :good:

[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I really don't know how this happened, but for some reason yesterday all my text messages became unsorted. For example, I would receive a text message from "Dad", only it would show it in my messages to be by someone without a phone number. All my contacts who texted me showed up under this "contact" with no phone number. This was after about two weeks on this rom, which is unprecedented for me. I usually switch every week lol.

I switched to Pac-Man rom, but I don't really like it :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I had this happen once before a while ago and recall fixing it by wiping everything and starting fresh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Well...yeah. That IS a fix. I just found it odd that this happened out of the blue. I do really like this rom, otherwise. I had no issues up until this point.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:

Is there any disadvantage to using the epic modem? I ask because I saw a post 1 or 2 pages back where someone was asking about toggle tiles or something not working without a Samsung Nexus modem (maybe I misunderstood).

Thanks

bill
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
it should NOT have anything to do with which modem you're using , it's a ROM feature ( I'm on SlimBean right now so can't double check toggle tiles on AOKP right now - but I do remember messing with it when Andy had commented on it not working for him ... I had only mentioned the nexus modem at the time because I know Andy doesn't like using it :silly: ) ... this ROM works GREAT with Epic Modem :good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
I think ns4g modem u get better data but yea as said dosnt effect the rom it self and toggles are in aokp settings they can be changed and dosnt matter witch modem ur on

Question about Nexus Modem... Are the Radio and WiFi

both

tied into the modem firmware, or is it just the Radio that the Nexus firmware pertains to? I'm not using my Epic as a phone, just a Media Player, so if it doesn't help WiFi any then I won't bother :cyclops:

~~~~~~

Anyway, status update to my own situation...

Had a panic moment there for a bit!

I followed the directions, but it just hung on the first screen that shows up after the "Checking state of BML / MTD" and reboots, that says:

Galaxy S

cyanogen(mod)

Sat like that for about 15mins before I popped the battery out and restarted it, but it just went right back and did that. I figured I'd leave it this time and completely forgotten about it for over an hour... sttttiiillllllllll on that screen :(

Thankfully I could still boot into CWM and did the old "if at first you don't succeed and/or have problems, flash it again!". It boot right up on that go! :)

Unfortunately, installing Chainfire3D borked everything after I just got it all configured how I liked it, and my CWM Backup has an "MD5 Mismatch" :mad: Now I have to re-flash :crying: lol

Otherwise all is well on my end, but more importantly it charges my battery now!! :victory: :cool:

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
You're correct, the modem handles 3g/4g not Wi-Fi
[Epic 4G Android Development] Burban502:
If I run into problems again I'll be sure to give his videos a watch :)

Alias: Bug report for you (let me know what log files I can provide which would help out.)

It might not be anything you're up to addressing, and it's nothing life/data threatening anyways, but the Flashlight (AOKP Torch) seems to have an issue. It works fine the first time, but if you run it anytime afterwards, the app fails to ever load and causes the "Android System" to suck down processing cycles of 75-98% (reported by OS Monitor). The only way to 'fix' the issue is to kill the process (yea unconventional but... meh quicker than restarting the phone lol)

And do you, or anyone, happen to know of a kernel that I can run that supports Voodoo Sound? Either I'm blind, or there aren't any :( The sole purpose of buying this Epic was to use as a PMP with the intent of running Voodoo Sound, like I had done with the Fascinate and loved its resulting sound quality, the Epic is just "blah" otherwise :(

Regardless, the ROM is running great, I just need to get the battery calibrated and things will be right as rain lol

EDIT: OK, I might in fact be "blind"... lol

Is "Nitest" Kernel compatible with this ROM? I see I'd have to do some mucking about in order to get CWM back in place of TWRP (for familiarity sake, though I'll give it a test-drive), but it otherwise seems to have everything I'm after.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:
voodoo reply

So you're saying you can't run Voodoo control with this how it is? What happens if you try? Can anyone definitely confirm this? If so, is this a kernel or a rom issue? Is there any other way to cope with the green screen or access the wolfson amplifier and bass booster?

thanks.

bill
[Epic 4G Android Development] Burban502:
Well I''m not having screen issues, but I'm assuming you're referring to your personal device having it, and you use Voodoo to counter it? Also, I'm using Voodoo Sound Free, so I can't account for Plus' compatibility; screenshot included. And from my limited understanding, it is purely kernel feature, though I guess in this case it's sort of a ROM thing in this case since it's what Alias ultimately decides to give the include kernel for features (I surmise he has just included the basics to keep bugs/issues to a minimum).

[Hurray for not hitting "Post" last night before going to bed *facepalm*]

voodoocontrol r

So if I were to install this ROM, I could install voodoo control, but it wouldn't let me do anything because the kernel doesn't support it. Correct? Are there any other kernels that are compatible with the rom and support voodoo control without reducing the functionality or features of the rom otherwise? No Voodoo control is a dealbreaker for me, So I just want to have my base covered before I install.

thanks.

bill
[Epic 4G Android Development] Burban502:
Actually, no. I'm using one of the stock ones, which I seem to recall seeing used on Nexus phones in pics or ads, non-animated.

I'm not exactly qualified to answer this, but I'm pretty sure this is the case (waiting on confirmation myself from my question a few posts back). What I'm fairly certain of though, which someone will have to confirm or correct me on, is the ROMs are more reliant on the support provided by the Kernel since the Kernel talks to the hardware. Which is why you need to have a Jelly Bean kernel to run a JB ROM. What I'm not quite sure about is how flexible the kernels are in certain circumstances, for instances like my question about when they are included with a ROM, like the Nitest kernel seems to be (or at least, doesn't have it's own dedicated Kernel thread).

When I was still on Gingerbread I was less concerned about things since I knew I wasn't going to keep it, so I flashed Nubernel and then Shadow only a few hours later, and had no problems. Now that I've got Aliase's AOKP configured nicely, I'm a bit more cautious of flashing a kernel with reckless abandon lol Especially since I don't have one in an Odin flashable package for JB. If Nitest is a stand-alone download, or if I can figure out how to pull it out of a ROM, maybe I'll just take one for the team and try it out since I only use my Epic as a music player/game device. So if I run into problems again that take me awhile to get sorted out, I'm not temporarily out the use of a cellphone, just a "toy" :P

As I also stated though, Alias has done a good job porting AOKP to the Epic and I've not ran into any problems while using it (aside from those three very-very small "annoyances" I've previously posted.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:

So, "Nitest" kernel for the Epic is fully compatible with AOKP rom and Voodoo control?
