Question - are the fixes to the video camera lib files or is it in the apk by itself. I am running Gummy and trying Codename as well but would like to see if I could port the fixes over to Gummy for video recording...

Thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
I think it's both
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Currently running the alpha 1, 4/20/2012 release. Do I just wipe cache and dalvik to update to alpha 2, or do I need a full wipe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scottndville:
How's the battery life? :D:p

Sorry couldn't resist lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
would you happen to know the exact files so I can give it a shot.. thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Can I do a straight upgrade from alpha 1 to 2?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Make a backup and try. Wipe caches before flashing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
pm me:D:D

full wipe would be best since a lot of source has changed in this build;)

Is it ok to flash the FD26 kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Can you share a link?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RCOVA:
My XDA app is being lame. But I'm talking about the one on the AOKP thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Just flashed alpha 2....what's this activation thing? It doesn't even work...I get some message saying something about invalid feature code.

Also, none of my settings or apps are restoring like with alpha 1...

Back to alpha 1 I go. This new release is a total wash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
no problem and pm sent
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
Invalid feature code? Sounds like your not running a sprint prl.

You can skip the activation also..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
did you do a fresh install after wiping data and dalvik cache? did you try flashing it again? or, did you just flash it and give up after the first try? clearly this rom is a wash given the zero posts that are similar to yours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RCOVA:
Thanks was given because of that last line. That's my laugh for the day :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sianaka:
This rom is super smooth and gives me better battery life than any other. With video working now I'm in love. I think the tablet hybrid mode would be a great future feature now that everything is pretty much perfect. Thanks for making my phone suck less. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Yes, fresh install. Market didn't sync apps, phone settings don't sync and apparently my PRL isn't updating? I guess it won't on any AOSP ROM's, but why did the activation thing not happen in alpha 1? I'd appreciate it if anybody can help me out... again, wiped everything and it was a fresh install...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] albe070:
Is this the right md5 for the last build? I'm at work and can't have a bad flash

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yandi3401:
Flash alpha 2 on top of alpha 1. Just wipe cache and dalvik, and dont forget gapps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Did you flash a modem other than through recovery? Occasionally, flashing a modem other than through recovery will wipe the activation information, meaning you have to do an OTA activation to get your phone and data working again. There's no way around it, you have to flash back to a TW based rom and let the activation run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
Yea don't forget gapps!

I pushed this for camera really.

Just got up, I'm a great uncle now!

Goin to work. Will reply later!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Flashed the last two modems with Odin and everything was fine... phone and data have been fine since doing this. Even in alpha 2. alpha 2 just gives me that stupid message.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Edit: Your phone and data work even though it asks you to activate?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Appears to. I could call VM and was getting texts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
If you are quicker than the initial set up it will go to activation and if you're faster than data you'll be asked for wifi info but if you let it sit for two to five, it'll go to data like normal. I've had problems with any modem other than el types?! Ymmv.

Yo trick to capactive lights (1$ on bottom.) Set up Notification bar to have Widgets, Make Sure }one of them is set to brightness! Then tap brightness and they will light up until next screen off. If needed repeat.

SorrySoAlpha still! zZzZzzZzzzz Transforming into theta-delta waves B)

EDIT: Brightnesses stages are crazy. Gotta tap ya way back to ORIGINALLY PREFERNCED brightness settings. Lol Zzzz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] keebler021:
Dunno if this will work on CN, but on AOKP to deal with the capacitive lights off, I tap the brightness, then switch to Autodim, then switch it back to manual, and it keeps capacitive lighting working properly til next power cycle. Weird, but it's been working for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
I just flashed it on a stock el29 from rooted! Flashed el26 cwm kernal then I flashed CN

Im curious as well. Flash this and let me know wrceuro. Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] batting1000:
Abysmal, as with most ICS ROMs, except the Samsung build, until we get a proper kernel source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
Haha come on man I have been flashing so many roms lately that I am sick and tiered of this phone. I think that I will get the One X when it comes out just because of the battery. Battery life is so important for me more than anything else. I don't want to be rude but that's the truth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] batting1000:
Again, you gotta give kernels time to settle. You can't base battery life on a few hours or a day of usage. Get an extended battery if you're so concerned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Anyone have the samsung desktop cradle. I am not blaming tcp as he did great work but in his builds my phone rotates to landscape when I dock the phone. Nothing will stop it and it is a pain. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Evo_J:
Awesome rom, smooth, fast, great customization, only one issue.

#add-a-bug: External SD is only partially recognized. Galley sees all images but most apps don't read it.

I'll be back once it's fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
Ooh oh sorry, I forgot to mention, the sdcard is and emmc scenario is back to the way it's supposed to be again. and hopefully for good. Recheck the default location that your app is looking for. I personally prefer quick pic.

Thanks to cyanogen and his teams, including darchstar!

I want to replace/mod the Google play store apk/ but I can't find it. Am I missing a piece of information here?!?

true but i still didnt find it i was looking for vending,apk market,apk still i couldnt find it. anyone find it or see it?

**EDIT**

So I found it but why is it named phonesky.apk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Just installed and this from is amazing. My favorite aokp rom so far :) just cant get GPS to work. I'll have to go back to gb, get a lock then flash all over again right ?

Oh and was wondering if I can use darchstars fd26 kernel with codename . I saw alpha 2 comes with fd19
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
GPS worked fine for me I didn't need to apply the gb to ics GPS work around

That's also a very good question! Is there a custom recovery I can use with this so I can make a backup!?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
#add-a-bug in root explorer 2.20 I can't mount system/app as r/w

#add-a-bug I also can't change lock screen style. I picked six - down to unlock and I set up wat app I want each direction to open. It just won't stick with my settings. This my second clean flash at this rom. Just giving feedback on wat I experienced! Great rom over all

So I can deal with whatever that weird activation bug is from that appeared in alpha 2, but why don't my Google settings? Even with the same GApps that I was using in alpha 1? Tried newer GApps too.

Yes, I did a clean install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] albe070:
Don't know why but this had been happening to me for a while
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
Now that's a bug worth reporting, lol, I've never used anything but my headphones or Bluetooth for any of my calls. Hopefully I'll get this weekend off.

T.C.P. is working on a kernel

current one supports scripts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Lol well I am glad I found a bug. It had happen to me since build 33 (first aokp rom I used for this phone) and for some reason . Hope you guys can fix it by this weekend :) this is my favorite rom so far for this phone!

Oh On codename I won't receive some calls. People tell me they called about 5 times and it would just go to my voicemail. :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
Which modem are you using? I don't miss any calls. Are you power cycling? I do that everyday.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
What do you mean by power cycling ? I am using fd26 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
reboot ur phone once a day...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] obelisk79:
I've also noticed the microphone volume to be very low when in speakerphone mode. My wife complains about it frequently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
+1 to that!

Thanks TCP for what you do. How does rebooting help the phone ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
think you meant your "favorite aosp rom"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
It helps the phone recalibrate, for a lack of better words. Not sure of why technically but it does.

Rebooting it's what I meant. And I've noticed these signal gaps on all of these ICS modems, I use el29. In and out of these wooded areas where there are already dead zones, it keeps me sane. But if it's determined to be a build error, I'll fix it as soon as I can.

I'm back to working on the third shift, so please forgive me if it says I'm online but I'm not posting back instantly. Heard they may give us this weekend off so I plan on doing things then. Thanks B)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Why don't your google settings what? It would help if you asked the question in an understandable fashion. If you are asking why your google settings don't restore, the answer is that the 4/22 gapps had broken google backup. Use the 4/29 gapps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Oh, yeah...they don't restore automatically. Nor do my apps.

Will use the newer GApps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
Hey thanks for mentioning the newest gApps..didn't know about 4/29!

I got a question for anybody that might know - anyone know when there might be a browser fix to allow it to sync bookmarks? I keep saving bookmarks and then facepalm when I realize I've flashed since then lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
its pretty automated. setup sync via Google chrome on your PC. then make sure browser is set to sync in Google syncs on your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
Yeah, I'd like it to work that way but this is what I get...

edit: Do I have to use Chrome for this to work? I tried to use Chrome but ran into so many problems I actually started a thread on here to try and get some help running it..check it out here, maybe you can help :o

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
I set up sync in Google chrome on my PC. and now every time I reflash it all syncs up automatically. I think you should check on a PC in Google chrome. sign in and enable the sync options you want..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
That will only sync to chrome on the phone and the stock browser can't share those bookmarks. It will make the error icon disappear but then you're stuck with chrome. Blech.

Now, I love chrome on the desktop, but chrome on the phone has a long way to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
stock browser.

Hows battery life so far?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Latest cycle was about 18hrs up the with 2 hours screen time. I am very happy with standby life so far on this. Superior to cm9 or milestone 5 ( in my experience).

@justlovejoy

Thanks for the response . I rebooted today and lost 43% of my battery lol. But I just pulled out that battery waited about a min and phone was showing the correct percentage again. And I will go back to el29 modem as well. Fd26 is good but I constantly go from 3g to 1x all day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] omarllamas:
Thanks i have had terrible battery life of 8-10 hours before it dies with about30 mins screen time im really looking for a rom that will get good battery life...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Man. That screen cap inspired me to go install chrome again. Still no go. Got a new Sync Chrome Beta option in account settings but same ol' busted exclamation point for Sync Browser.

EDIT: There are a few reasons I could think this could happen:

A. I have a Google Apps account.

B. I have an exchange account that even though I added second, still shows at the top of the Accounts list.

C. I'm on CM9a3 and it behaves differently than CNA.

D. You set up your bookmarks in the stock browser so long ago you've forgotten :rolleyes: and are mistaking them coming back from the Google backup after wiping.

I'm leaning towards A or B.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
1. I don't have Google chrome installed on my phone.

2. I recently reflashed so the bookmarks came from somewhere

3. I'm on aokp now but cna before and it worked there too

EDIT:

maybe it errors during sync if you haven't setup mobile sync via chrome on a PC first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
Aosp = Android Open Source Project

Aokp = Android Open Kang Project

2 different roms dude
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
that's why I pointed it out.

he wrote aokp but meant aosp.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
I do sync Chrome/Chromium bookmarks between all of my Windows, Mac and Linux machines. In desktop Chrome it's under Settings / Personal stuff. I think I did get bookmarks a long time ago in the stock browser of some AOSP ROM I ran but I haven't forever. Hm, just thought of that. Must be something dorked with my account at Google or something. Maybe like when you have too many devices registered with Amazon and it won't let you install any apps until you delete some.

EDIT: Could have something to do with encryption on my Google account. This thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518266 says

I'll try that.

EDIT2: Yep. That worked. Go to your Google Dashboard and tell it to stop syncing Chrome data. Sign out of your Google account in Chrome settings. Wait for a little while. Sign back in to your Google account in Chrome. Go into Account settings and uncheck and re-check Sync Browser. All my bookmarks are there now!

AOKP is based on AOSP. It is correct to say that AOKP is an AOSP rom.

AOSP is a blanket term for all roms based on stock android.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
Are you serious? °_°

¿ Not to brag but I've been off battery for 12 hours 36 minutes battery 61%	how is that so? I'm even on my old epic battery?¿

Lmao, I never seen it that way but it's so true! Thanks for making the night start with a B)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Does this rom have text reflow for browsers?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Lol that is funny. I love this rom! Don't know how many times I will say that lol. I went 10hrs with 66% left lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downtrodn:
What's the secret for getting 10+ hours with more than 50% battery left? No matter what rom I'm on I get about 6.5 hours before its at 20%... oh I stream my library on Google music for 5 hours of that time.. I'm sure that kills the battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
That sounds like a big battery killer. I don't have Facebook app on my phone and I don't have Sync on either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downtrodn:
That makes sence. Wish there was another app for streaming music like zune or whatnot. I can't load all my music on my SD card. To many songs..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Buy a 16gb for $12 or 32gb for around $25
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] omarllamas:
Anyone know what still needs to be fixed in this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Did a clean install with 4/29 GApps. Flashed FC29 zip with CWM since that's all I had on my SD card.

So how do I get around this stupid "activate your phone" b/s when I install new versions of this ROM? Just flash modems with CWM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downtrodn:
I have a 16gb still not enough ;) for some reason I dig streaming but not the battery loss... just flashed code name again from aokp and the batter is rocking. No Google music ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SkippyDogg:
Let's say I want to try the FD26 kernel, do I have to flash EL26 CWM kernel first and then flash it through odin? Or can I just odin the FD26 kernal directly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Are you guys losing 3g data randomly on fd26. Like is shows 3g on status bar but no internet ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
Yea I have that issue also. show I have data connection but in fact I don't... hmmm odd
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Hmmmm maybe that should be looked into. Its maybe the modem ?

Its rather quiet annoying have to go into airplane mode or reboot to fix it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
It it's the modem. I tested a while back on both kernel fd26 and modem fd26. Got los just like you. Flashed just modem back to fd24 and never got it again. Back to el26 modem now because it's best for 3g and there's no 4g in my area. Trust me, it's the fd26 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Alright thank you so much for figuring that out. It has been driving me crazy when I couldn't even load Google. Will flash el26/29 modem mow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
confirm results please!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
You can Odin the kernel directly while in Download mode. I do this all the time using heimdall. It will give you the yellow triangle though, but that doesn't hurt anything other than the aesthetics.

Just make sure you get an AOSP FD26 and not a TouchWiz one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Update I went to el29 modem and have not lost data connection at all. :)

Only bad thing is that I lost GPS :/

Unable to obtain a lock now

Edit: GPS works now took about 3 mins to finally lock lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
OK had a weird experience with this ROM after just being on AOKP . . . my internal SD card was being read as my external and vice versa. I downloaded directory bind and did the trick that is posted in AOKP, but still had the same result even after a reboot. Due to this I wasnt able to load a batch of apps from Titanium Backup. Any ideas on how to fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downtrodn:
I had the same thing happen to me on miui.. strange behavior
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Any workaround or fix for it that you found?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
did you mess with the build.prop? take a look in there. maybe swap the external and internal mount locations..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayjay7411:
No, actually that's correct, emmc is actually suppose to be internal SD and external is suppose to be sd. I own HTC thunderbolt and htc incredible and that's how they are if you would like them flopped you go to storage settings and press menu and check mark this setting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
Fyi, I'm home now from work going to sleep soon and will be working on this build tonight. Most will be either asleep or partying :sly: but that's cool.

I really appreciate justlovejoy's work on cna but with codename himself gone walkabout I'm afraid that rom's gonna be a dead end. Really sad because that mofo is hands down the best rom I've tried on this phone (tho I never got around to gummy).
