I find that I can use Wifi at work, hop in my car, drive home, and the optimizer bounces me back to my home Wifi better than before.

As another comment, I occasionally get people complaining about download links. Anyone who has followed me knows that I've tried several over the course of my time here. All of them have had their flaws and bad days. If a link doesn't work, it means it's down temporarily or I've taken it down for editing, so be patient.

That said, the general solution is to have a 2 download locations, knowing that both are unlikely to fail simultaneously. I have settled on Goo as my primary download for 3 reasons. Ftp access makes it easier for me to upload, well maintained file storage, and overall faster short links. But it looks like my Recognized Developer status will be soon earning me similar rights on Dev-Host, at which point I will be re-establishing that as my alternate download storage.

I'm working hard in my little spare time to make my thread and website easier to read, easier to navigate, more informative, and more pleasant to the eye.

Never had a problem with following your threads or your releases. Thanks for all you do!

had a data problem today

I went to use my phone to check my email and it said can't connect to server, google play said no connection, I had to reboot to get it back. waaahhhhh

hehehe - I turned off the optimizer just to see how that goes

Is there a zip for fly in animation that can be used in this Rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You can install a theme that includes them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
Yeah I know but the theme I am currently using dosent include it. I was wondering If I could get it seperate.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
There's only two ways to add animations to a theme that doesn't include it. Mine doesn't include it because I personally like things a bit simpler. This isn't the People

's Rom ;).

You can try to use Metamorph. This will inject the animation files. Or you can do it manually. There is no way to flash things in through CWM.

This Thread should have everything you need.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Ouch....lol.

RK is correct. You can pull the framework-res and systemui from your current theme and throw them into the UOT Kitchen and add the fly-ins. You can also do other things while therr if you like.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
No offense intended. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Dev fight! Dev fight! ;)

Does Spare Parts only adjust the speed of the animation, or does it give the options to add as well? I forget. Not enough Blonde Roast at starbucks this morning...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Hm. I'm not sure. I think it only allows you to adjust the effects. To change them involves injecting xml into an apk. Easily done on a computer, but not so easily done on the phone itself.

I had a quick question. I cannot use the alarm. As soon as I choose the sound or song and hit ok. The phone freezes and then it restars. Any ideas on how to fix that. I've tried like five different alarm apps. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZoSo925:
This is too confusing to update for me. Where is the option to update via Odin or Update .zip to just do it that way?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Did you run superfreeze?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Don't listen to what he wrote, he was testing everything for me.

Go to my website and you'll find that the install directions are rather simple. There's more steps available if you want to customize it, otherwise it's simple.

However, if you only know how to Odin your phone or flash a Stock Samsung Update.zip, then your first step is to learn how to root your phone before delving into the development threads.
[Epic 4G Android Development] whiteboyogc:
I did do superfreeze. But I read here that if I did a clean install I wiped everything 3 times and I still had the same issue. Even when I play music it freezes. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
Yes I experienced this....My ram has been running low and I recently rec'd a couple freeze ups that required a battery pull.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I think that's what you meant. Anyway, there's only 2 ways you could be having an issue on a clean install.

1. You have DRM Copyrighted Music files, and you've either installed the Lite version, or run the superfreeze command.

2. You're missing MyFiles, again, because you installed the Lite version.

Either way, here's my suggestion. Wipe everything. Once will do. Flash the rom Full version. Do not run the superfreeze command. See if it works fine now.

This could be from, say, DRM protected iTunes music? I currently am on lite, DRM stripped from my phone, no MyFiles app, and I play all my music just fine, and use songs for ringtones and alarms. I like to wake up to Cat Stevens: Morning Has Broken. :)

As I mention under Important notes (Which I may move ABOVE installations steps...) If you don't know what Lite is, you want Full. Lite is for Power-Users. Full has everything I offer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Try the new version I just posted. It's worked wonders for me. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
Do you recommend a clean install or can I just flash over previous build since this is just .1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] whiteboyogc:
Ok I will do that. Thanks again
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I ALWAYS recommend backing up first. Be it via Titanium, Nandroid, whatever.

But if you're on the previous ThunderHawk V, you can flash 5.1 right over it. My ram (when task killed manually by ATK widget) stays right above 180 for the most part. With fluctuations depending on usage, but not longer low enough to force reboot the phone.

As a Note: Anyone who doesn't really understand Incremental Installs... It's very simple. Inside of the rom .zip, I've broken it up into 3 folders. The lite installation files, the full installation files, and finally all of the files that are different from the previous rom version in an incremental folder. A full installation flashes all of these files. An incremental installation flashes only the files that have actually changed, without wiping your device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] whiteboyogc:
thank you. it works now. i did only had the lite

Cat Stevens, now you're showing your age. I like "miles from nowhere" when I'm boating in the middle of lake Michigan. Although his somewhat recent political views bug me, I can separate art from the artist.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Nah, I'm diverse. :D Cat Stevens stopped singing a decade before I was born. haha

I actually set him as my alarm by accident in one of my restores. Somehow it corrupted and loaded that song instead, and that's what I woke up to. Been that way for months now. ;)

Also, my parents gave me my first Cat Stevens CD 15 or so years ago. Can't go wrong with the classics.

I'm the same way. I'm 31 but listen to a lot of stuff before my time. Good music is good music, it doesn't matter when it was created.

Battery Life Screens

Everybody is always wondering about battery lives and how subjective it is. Well, it’s very subjective. That’s just how it is. But when I say I get up to 3 hours screen time playing games, web browsing, etc. and still make it a day or two on the stock 1500Mah battery… this is what I’m talking about:

​
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I've been waiting for this.

I backed up and wiped the MIUI v4 that I've been using for a few days and flashed TH5.1. Issue number one... after reboot I'm stuck on "Media scanning...SD card" at 91%. So far everything seems to be working, I just can't get rid of that notification.

I really love the look of this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
if you have a ton of files on your sd card; search for .nomedia in the forums

you put that in folders you dont need the media scanner to scan, it will speed up that process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Not really a lot of files. And it didn't just slow it down... it stuck there. It was at least 15 minutes just on 91%. Didn't do that on any other ROM. As a matter of fact, just to check it out, I flashed

Serenicity

. Scanned everything without incident. I just don't like the look of the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Don't you mean it's never done that before? Why single out the rom? :p Just sounds like a random glitch, I've never seen that happen ever and noone else has reported it.

This only confirms the randomness, at the moment, Serenicity is nearly 99% identical to ThunderHawk. Launcher 7 vs. Launcher Pro are the major differences.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremyglass:
Stuck at Sleeper Rom screen?

Got it....had to convert to MTD
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremyglass:
Ok have found a problem and tried everything to fix it. I can not change the notification ringtone/ sound off of silent. I have installed every different messenger on the market and the phone will freeze when attempting to change then FCs. I have fix permissions, cleared data, uninstalled, rebooted and installed new from market...still no go please help

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Have you run superfreeze or locked DRM service?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Run a fresh clean installation. Make sure you install the Full version. Lite is only for power users, and if you don't know what that entails then you don't want it.

If you ran the Superfreeze command, don't. DRM Copyright Protected music (aka iTunes purchases) could cause this problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Actually, I have seen it once before... but I forgot about it until after I posted this and went out of town. I don't remember on which ROM it was, but I know it was fixed with another wipe and clean install. [Found a mention of this in Sleeper ROM 1.x, along with a fix. Don't know if it's the same thing, but sounds like it. I think that I was trying out Sleeper2 when I saw it.]

I actually figured that Serenicity was almost identical as I stopped using Launcher7 pretty quickly and just started using another launcher (I prefer GoLauncher).

Sorry, didn't mean to criticize- I thought it was probably just a "random";) glitch. I just didn't have the time to work on it and experiment before I left.

As much as I liked using the ICS based ROMs, I really appreciated this over the weekend- battery usage and stability still make GB ROMs superior for actual phone use.

Keep up the good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremyglass:
This was a fresh clean install after Odin FC09 Stock then installing new clockwork, BRM-MTD utility then TH 5.1. Wiped and went to People's rom (sorry) and everything is fine....
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
With any rom, sometimes you just have to flash a second time. Apology not necessary.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nyce308:
I hate when my battery dies i get all these force close pop ups and i cant use my phone. I have to start all over! :/
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
You really shouldn't let the battery drain all the way on any device.

More importantly, I assume you're on BML?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nyce308:
I know but sometimes im not able to get ahold of a charger in time...

whats BML?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremyglass:
Installed the rom twice the first time then restored everything with Titanium. Got the errors. Cleaned and flashed once no restored just the apps (no data). Same errors....Then wiped again flashed to stock tar/pit (from scratch), clockwork, MTD utility, then flashed twice. Same effect....then gave up and flashed people's, no errors....

Thanks for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Strange. I wiped, flashed TH5.1 and flashed Shadow kernel 1.0.1 and didn't get the funky scanning error message, but I didn't get any of the included apps in either Full or Lite- but Launcher7 was there! No way that should have happened. Don't know what the heck is going on. I'm doing something very wrong. Trying again. Practicing... because my wife has finally given me permission to root her EPIC. Don't want to screw hers up!!:D

Funny. Flashed again without the new kernel and I get that same crazy scanning error. But everything else looks correct.Going to try to wipe just cache & dalvik. Then I'll try that little mod I found that was designed for EI22 if that doesn't work. If neither of those work, then I'll just cry.

:(:(

For whatever reason, I can't get this fixed.

I can get Serenicity working. Can you post a zip with the apps included in TH5 [slim] that aren't in Serencity? Or should I just wait and see if there is 5.2? Your ROMs have always worked great for me- don't know why I'm having trouble here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Can you spell out the steps you took to flash, please?

It kind of sounds like a bad download/flash.

Of course YMMV as with everything on XDA.

We were testing a TH4 version at one point. All the testers and random had no issues with it; I couldn't make or receive a phone call; just on that 1 rom.

Some phones reject roms for some reason or another; it is maddening.

For me this rom is running so well I jumped back from CM9; the battery life is so sick!!

On my wife's epic she has experienced a couple of lockups; I'm going to redo her's tonight. I restored the apps and their data in hopes that would work (it has with mine but I have far less apps); so I'll wipe and download the apps and set them up again. That should clear things up for her.

EDIT: when she got home the phone was perfectly fine. so I can only guess she is losing data/cell connection by perhaps roaming (she said she left it alone to show me). To test I set it to sprint only; we'll see how things go for her tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I've put together a video demonstration. After editing it tonight I will be uploading and posting it. I show how to wipe and flash from another popular rom to my rom, and I show how to incrementally install my rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
You know, bad dl sounds like a good possibility. I'll try to re d/l at home. Also can't get the camera to work- keeps saying media scanning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
If you haven't tried it, that sounds like the best bet. Media scanning is a pain, but I've never seen that... in the hundreds of times I've flashed everything in the last year and a half. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I've actually experienced a problem on this new rom as well with media scanning. It seems the SD card somehow unmounts at random. I was in a panic the first time, thought I lost everything. But when I load it on my computer, everything is there. The SD card is fine and a restart usually brings it back up.

I'm also still having those random closing problems. I'm going to redownload, wipe, and reflash later tonight in hopes it corrects any issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Here's the installation demonstration I've put together. It shows a clean install as well as an incremental install.

[youtube]qikKY6sxLz4[/youtube]​
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
I've had this problem before with multiple android phones and multiple ROM's, are you careful to always dismount your sdcard before you remove it from your phone and the computer? Any corruption and the phone will throw fits and constantly mount/dismount at random the removable storage, and media scanning will constantly come back up. Sometimes a quick scan on a windows machine can fix it, sometimes you have to format it over again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
Any way to uninstall Vlingo? Was installed along with the Rom, i never use it, i uninstall it but it comes right back when i restart. I'm getting tired of the update notifications for it also. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
I thought I was the only one......lol....so annoying......
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Its a weird glitch with senseisimples firstboot installer. Using es file explorer, navigate to to system/etc/init.d and delete the firstboot script. This will stop the reinstallation process. You may also find files under data/app/.firstboot.

[Epic 4G Android Development] lexiperplexi91:
I have a weird problem that I don't encounter on CM7 or CM9. When I turn on 4G, it connects then almost instantly sleeps, so 4G is useless. Any ideas? My area is heavy in 4G and when I want to use maps its great!

Thank you RandomKing for your awesome ROM!

Turn off the Sprint Optimizer?

It is off, I just noticed that it doesn't actually give me an IP. But 3G andWiFi work fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Maybe update your profile and prl.

I use 4G in the Atlanta area just fine. I did turn off the optimizer; was cool at first then seemed to cause me problems for me that it was worth.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lexiperplexi91:
I was on the "Slim" version, since I didn't want the added apps and such. I wiped and flashed the "Full" version, and 4G obtained an IP was able to get connected. I then rewiped with "Slim" and it is working.

Sorry to cause trouble! :)

Apologize in advance for the dumb question, but what exactly does the Sprint theme do? I've always assumed I needed to flash it if I wanted to run Sprint apps like NASCAR, but wasn't sure if there were other reasons I should be flashing it.

All it does is change the carrier logo to Sprint, yes. For that reason. And it only comes in blue, because I'm lazy.

[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
My understanding is that those gtalk alarms are due to the market and not Google Talk
[Epic 4G Android Development] akuentzler:
After flashing themes quickpanel does not seem to be working properly. Looks like the standard widgets but themed. There are no scrollable widgets. I went from TH 5.1 stock and it worked fine to green to blue, and on both green and blue this is happening. Is this how it's supposed to be?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You cannot flash themes that do not specifically state they include the scrollable quickpanel mod. Reflash the ROM to get it back or flash a compatible theme like KGBlues or Shake & Bake.
[Epic 4G Android Development] akuentzler:
Thanks Kenny I assumed that since I flashed random's themes it would be compatible.

Unfortunately reflashing the rom wiped my data, good thing I backed up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I am surprised. I thought this ROM maintains data in a flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Yes it should have, perhaps this is pointing to some issue with the original flash.

If it is acting this weird. I'd recommend redownload and maybe starting from scratch just to be sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmsomb:
I am using his green theme. My status bar disappeared in the first flash of the theme. A second flash fixed things. Scrollable widgets work... Maybe flash the theme twice?
[Epic 4G Android Development] akuentzler:
I tried flashing again and no dice. I tried restoring my backup and flashing over the blue theme with TH 5.1 Lite Rom and I seemed to have lost some data and maintained some data, it was strange. So I assume jdelano was correct about a bad flash. I went ahead and did a titanium backup of all my apps, downloaded the rom again and wiped data, it seems to be running smooth now. I'm just going stay themeless, I like the default looks better anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Sometimes you just have to flash twice with any rom, and possibly re-download the zip. That said, I'm looking into revising the back/restore functionality next, as I've just completed the Red theme. :D

I'm running out of things to do on this phone... good thing I've pre-ordered my GS3. ;)
