Also, if you're having trouble finding the bml to mtd converter here is the link

http://randomkings.wordpress.com/android/samsung-epic-4g/mods/bml-to-mtd-conversion/

I couldn't find it until I used the search feature on Random's site.

It says that its under mods, but if you use the menu for android development, samsung epic 4g, mod -> you'll only see the superfreeze stuff.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Apparently you have to change the config file, it works now
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It's linked in the install directions. :D

It should have... I'll check to make sure, but adjusting the .cfg file and flashing the default theme will apply it anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
The default config file has scrollable set to off

How I went from TH BML to TH MTD

first:

how in the E$#%$ did I miss:

Converting To MTD:

Option A: Flash the RDU BML to MTD Conversion Utility from CWM 3.1.0.1.??!!???

uhg, LOL

I updated my wifes epic which had BML TH4 (1 step b4 final)

I did a nandroid; as everyone should.

then ran the bml to mtd conversion. (worked beautifully)

It restarted and boot looped as advertised. I pulled the battery and booted to CWM

I flashed TH V

restarted to system and copied the nandroid to my PC; so I had an original copy (I'm anal like that)

on the sd card version of the backup

I then edited each file name that had ext4 to yaffs2 and also edited the file nandroid.md5 and changed each ext4 occurence to yaffs2 using a text editor.

(you have to do the above in order to restore a backup made while on bml)

I rebooted to CMW and restored my nandroid of TH 4, then immediately flashed TH V over it and rebooted. All her stuff was there. Though on first boot the system update is available popup displayed.

I checked the about phone (or my randomrom) and everything is right TH V FC09, EL30 kernel. Checked the build.prop which has FC09 everywhere. I'll have to see if it continues perhaps a remnants from the restore of EL30?

Will report back as its late for this old man.

Thanks again for all the great work!

UPDATE: no update popup has shown itself, so that one I saw had be left over in the nandroid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I am guessing the notification snuck in before you upgraded.
[Epic 4G Android Development] treoarx:
Thanks dude. Haven't had a random rom in a minute. Very snappy as I type on the keyboard maybe I will try the swipe....never really liked it anyway....I did get stuck in a loop on reboot on a clean install...had to reflash and boom..!

Will other TH themes work with this version...?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
They use older, incompatible frameworks and jar files. Currently just the Default blue is available. I'll be creating the Green theme and the Sprint fix. EVENTUALLY I might find time to fully theme a Red version... so many pngs and .9pngs... :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
If there is no .cfg file, the rom should create one. I'll test it again to make sure it's still working properly.

I've updated the website to make it easier to use. I'm always trying to make the information clearer. I arrange my rom pages to show you the rom, tell you whats in it, how to use it, and finally the download links. That said, I've finally included a full listing of apps provided by the Lite and Full installs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyder09:
without using the full/lite script first i believe it installed the full version on my phone, but scrollable toggles was not included
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I know why. I'm working to rectify it. Doesn't help you now, but at least it will be right for the next version. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Well what I mean is after I installed, I looked at the config file that was in the directory, scrollable was set to off, I copied in a new one and reinstalled. Then it was right. So I assume whatever was there is the default one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Actually it looks like TH V wasn't even attempting to make or change the cfg file. I had a disconnect between one of my scripts and the installer. I'm fixing it now. Not that it affects you now. :D

UPDATE: Newest version uploading now. No real changes, no version change. Don't flash if you're already on TH V.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Worked awesome all day till it froze up and shut down while taking to the wife. Anyone else have this happen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Been running it weeks without issue. Has it happened more than once?

[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Excellent excuse!! ;)

sorry honey it was my phone; i never get tired talking to you :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i don't talk on it that much, just installed it last night. only talked on it twice so far so couldn't really tell you. I have been browsing on it all day with no issues, no lockups, no freezes. had one conversation with the wife earlier today, and then the conversation this afternoon, both were the same length, this afternoon was 1 second shorter. 6 mins and 43 seconds and 6 mins and 42 secs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Well I can only consider it a freak incident unless it repeats. Noone else has mentioned anything.

[Epic 4G Android Development] treoarx:
Thanks. will look out for it. Can you recommend a themed dialer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Custom FC09 kernel linked with thanks to Bbelos!

Enjoy!
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Which kernel has better battery life? I assume you tested both
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
They appear identical. Which makes sense, as nothing really changed in the kernel source. This kernel will be going into TH 5.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] treoarx:
Shadow?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
uh, yes......
[Epic 4G Android Development] treoarx:
Duh....and no themed dialer
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Does 4g work for anyone? It connects but I get no internet. Don't know if my area is out but I doubt it. It was working fine with sleeper and peoples. Also bluetooth seems to have trouble auto connecting. It will connect, but like if I turn my car off and then I go back and turn it on, it doesn't auto connect.

EDIT: on the plus side I just had a phone conversation with my manager and the phone didn't freeze. Maybe the phone just doesn't like my wife. Guess i can't blame the phone for that. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Haven't tried any. Just check the theme section for something FC09.

I personally can't test 4G, as I've stated, but try turning off the Sprint Optimizer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Its not working, connects but when I checked it, it just reads zeros for all the addressees

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

So this is a bit of a problem, can't even turn the connection optimizer off, it just keeps turning itself back on
[Epic 4G Android Development] BoscoCosta:
Can TWRP be used with this? i'm currently using AOKP along with the nyan kernal but want to try this rom out. If it can't be used does anyone know of a way to "go back" to CWM as i'm at a loss after searching.

Also can't seem to download as it's hanging. this happening to anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I can't answer to TWRP as I don't have any idea. As for the download, though, the server just went down. Should be up soon. Please be patient when download links appear inactive or broken, sometimes these things happen. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I'll test 4g

I am in a 4g area here, if I go upstairs in my house I can connect and use it. I'll flash and check it out. I'm just charging it up. I'll post my results in a few.

Edit: I flashed and did not login to google. Turned on 4g and it worked. Opened dolphin and surfed and opened this included xda app. As I add this edit. 4g disconnected and will not reconnect though. I'll reboot and try again.

Edit2: it did switch from 4g to 3g and post the above just fine

Edit 3 4g reconnected after reboot am using it now.

Edit 4, with 4g on I connected to wifi and it switched fine turned off wifi and 4g came back fine as well

last edit: I started browsing on 4g, I went downstairs and 4g disconnected as my page request waited, it tried 4g a cpl times then switched to 3g and my page request was satisfied. I then went backup stairs, it took a min or so but 4g reconnected automatically and I was able to browse pages just fine. perhaps we had a 4g bump during my first attempt, I only get 1 bar in the house upstairs so it is possible something interfered with the signal. Either way after the reboot of the first start 4g worked as expected.

Hope this helps :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
3g is working fine for me, wifi is working fine, but whenever 4g connects, the addresses are all blank, it worked fine with sleeper rom and peoples rom. No other issues with this rom aside from bluetooth not autoconnecting quite right but I can live with that as this rom works great on my phone. I used the ei22 version for a long long time.

But with not being able to disable the sprint connection optimizer as it just renables itself when I disable it, if it won't connect with an address to 4g, then I have a major problem as I'm just getting kicked off the net constantly. I untick 4g, that gets 3g back for the moment until 4g tries to run again and connects to a blackhole. I suppose it could just be a weird coincidence and something is wrong with the 4g network. I can try at work when I get there and see if it works. Stuck at the auto dealership now.

EDIT: also noticed that i can't change a number of the phone settings, sprint connections optimizer won't turn off, if I try to change roaming to sprint only, it won't change, same thing with roaming settings for voice and data, if I uncheck them, they just go back to checked. is that normal?

EDIT2: I rebooted the phone. Now the settings change normally. Now 4g doesn't connect. maybe there just isn't 4g here and before it was erronously connecting. I'll test on my way to work where I know I get 4g on the highway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
There is a thread here by Marcusant to flash MTD CWM back from TWRP. Search this forum threads.
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
Came back to Thunderhawk after being on CM9 for a while. Battery life is still great! Bluetooth seems to be fixed, not having any issues with it turning on anymore, good work! Still having some problems with wifi/4g however. They work well durring boot, but after the phone has been idle/sleeping for a while they stop connecting. Gets stuck at "optaining IP adress" and then says disconnected. Even on my home network I connected to last night, in the morning when I woke the phone up it refused to connect to the wifi.

I'll try turning Sprint connections optimizer off and see if that helps, if it does I'll report back. I'll also lower the CPU back to 1GHz from 1.4 and set it to stay awake, maybe it's something there.

ROM is rock solid other than that, snappier than I remembered (gotten used to the slight delay in doing everything in CM9 I guess haha).
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
just wanted to say, my phone is connecting to 4g now, I think it was all jacked up earlier connecting to non existent stuff. obviously needed to be rebooted. of course that does beg the question of why it needed to be rebooted a day after flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I'm testing a new improved installer-script to work on BML or MTD. I can't Odin back to BML to test it, but I can confirm that it works on MTD still!

A brave soul can give it a try on BML. I'm confident it should install if installed cleanly at the least.

EDIT: Uploaded

EXTRA NOTICE: I have not changed the version number. If you have TH V working happily, that's all there is to it. I haven't released any actual changes to the rom yet. You can get excited when a 5.1 shows up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
My 4g and WIFI have been working back and forth between my work and home just fine without me having to do a thing. The Sprint Connection Manager seems to work great. It connects as expected. I REPEAT, NO 4G issues here.

I've also had no issues so far. No disconnected calls, no force closes, nothing. Great battery life, as usual. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
yea, i'm kind of having these same little things, this morning it was the 4g, reboot fixed it,then this evening, it didn't want to connect to the home wifi, reboot fixed it. same thing as you, obtaining ip address and then stopped. i sometimes have a problem when it tries to connect in certain areas so i went right in front of the wifi router, still no luck until i rebooted then it connected no problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
How did you get to TH V?

Were you on TH 4 and did an update?

I'd say try a fresh clean install to remove any random (ha!) data restore/upgrade issues. I was on CM9 (obviously - see signature) so I did a factory reset/wiped part cache and dalvik and installed TH V clean.

I think it would be worth backing up and do this just to see how it goes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimhorner5405:
Installation Aborted

EVerytime i try and flash i get a file_getprop:failed to stat"/sdcard/clockworkmod/options.cfg"; no such file ro directory

Im running CWM 5.0.2.7. coming from Peoples Rom 2.2 on FC09 with Samuri kernel

Any suggestions?

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I'm glad it's worked well for you. I've already had nearly 500 downloads of ThunderHawk V... But even if it worked perfectly for 400 of those users, I'm more likely to get 200 complaints than 400 praises. :rolleyes:

I turned on my 4G, and when I moved out of Wifi range it switched over... despite not having an available signal. Upon my return home, it hooked right back up to my wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
If you downloaded a couple of days ago you have an older version. Download ThunderHawk V again. There's a newer version uploaded that fixed this issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
wiped clean and installed fresh, then restored my apps with titanium. same process I always use.

EI22 thunderhawk worked perfect, I left because that update message drove me crazy and tried peoples which froze my phone whenever I did any browsing so then I went to sleeper rom which worked fine but battery life wasn't great and it was a lot of work setting that up. Then a day later thunderhawk was back so I figured i'd go back to the best :) working great except for needing to reboot every now and then. won't know more until tomorrow as i'm home with my sick daughter today so i'll be on wifi all day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
One more question. It's not normally an issue, but what modem are you on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Fc09
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I am still on EL30 modem. Still no issues with connections moving between Wifi/3g/4g. I did do a clean install WITHOUT any data restores from Titanium. I only used SMS B&R to restore my texts. Everything else was a clean setup.

I prefer to use program data storing when possible rather than Titanium. I've had plenty of stability problems with phones after using Titanium to restore data, especially coming from a different rom. I've even had stability issues in programs I didn't even restore with Titanium, but finally narrowed it down to that being the culprit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I'd really like to see you run TH V clean, meaning don't install anything don't restore anything.

It may be one of the apps you're restoring with TB is causing this issue. I have FC09 modem on my phone and it worked well for the time I tested it.

Random, I'll switch over from CM9 for a couple of weeks to see if I can get it to happen to me, maybe I can grab a log or a process that help identify this.

I have wifi, 3G and 4G here so I can bounce around those connections pretty easily.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
doubt it would be one of the apps, I'm running essentially the same things I have been running for pretty much the past 2 years.

all I restore with titanium is the applications and the data for them, like angry birds and such. don't feel like playing all the levels again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Didn't mean forever ;) just a couple days to see if the switching between data types doesn't require a reboot.

I've just installed TH V again and I'll use it for a while to see if I can get the same thing to happen. If so I may be able to assist Random more with getting it straight
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I'm now getting crashes while pulling up the dialer at random times. No Force Close warnings, just a straight up close. Restarting the phone seems to fix it. It might have been a lingering thing, as I rarely use the actual phone for calls. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyder09:
i have been running th V for a few days now...and the connection manager seems to be doing great...even bluetooth has improved dramatically...i will be in 4g area tomorrow so i will test that connection as well...i have restored 2 apps and no problems so far...just seem to have apps hog memory today (around 70 free ram)...not using the stock launcher i have go launcher installed
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i tried bring up the dialer multiple times, but can't make this happen.

I use ADW launcher, just in case that might make a difference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
It seems to be pretty random. Only seems to happen when I go to the LOGS tab to see historical calls. I'll keep messing around with it.

Also, my SD card suddenly disappeared today, but a restart of the phone seems to have brought it back. Scared me for a minute.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
okay, so something definately screwy with this, everything works fine except for the connections. bluetooth connected fine today, no problems, but 4g wasn't connecting when I left the house. finally this afternoon on the way home after watching it say obtaining ip address and then disconnecting, I rebooted, then it connected up to 4g. then I got home, rinse and repeat with the wifi, wouldn't connect , did the same thing until I rebooted.

running exactly the same stuff as I did on the peoples rom, installed the same way, restored the same way, etc and there were no connection issues like this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Did you do a clean install without restoring anything? I'm not having this issue. I used to before it was fixed in the last version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Yeah peculiar for sure; I was just coming to update saying i've had no issues at all. I even restored my apps and their data from my CM9 config. I've been able to switch between 3G,4G and WiFi with no need to reboot ... I don't have a bluetooth device; so there is a difference there between us.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasont1325:
Anyone have a mirror to download this rom? Everytime I try goo.im gives me an error and I can't get the file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I am uploading it to my google documents area. I'll post a link n a bit.

here is the link: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8DFupwiCOXyVl9lS2RFUnlXNmM
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i went back to peoples to see the difference, wiped and installed peoples, restored my apps from titanium and connected wifi, left the house today and it connected to 4g, came back and it connected to wifi. so I'd know positively after going to work or not if there is a difference, but I think its relatively safe to say that there is something going on with the connections.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
And you were using bluetooth during those times?

It had to have been extremely frustrating, I know Random appreciates the effort in the testing you have done !!
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
No I haven't been in my car, but when I ran the last time with peoples I used bluetooth
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
Thanks for another great release! I have been running v5 for about a week without any issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
+1000

I love going to bed with 34% battery left and waking up to 31% battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xfilemanx:
I haven't seen this issue here, so hopefully some one can give me a hand please.

Whenever I goto change the ringtone or notification tone the entire system stops.....or hangs...at any rate, I love this ROM, always have liked Random ROMS, this is the first time I've encountered any problem with this ROM.

thanx in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Did you remove DRM services?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
+1

This is it, superfreeze stops this from running too. unfreeze and change the ringtone and then superfreeze again.

edit: I just notice this; I had my phone on 3G. I plugged it up to charge it; I got a text and noticed it was on wifi now. I was like hmmm I must have switched it and don't remember. So I turned WiFi off; no WiFi is back on again. Anyone else have wifi turn on by itself? not a biggy just wanted to see if it was common.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
Hey, do you have to rerun superfreeze everytime you reboot the phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
No. Just anytime you reinstall or restore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
That's the connection optimizer. It will keep forcing what it thinks is best
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Pretty much. Its supposed to connect to a solid wifi to replace a shaky 3G data connection. Saves battery.

[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Anyone who might be flashing to BML, I have thought of a potential problem. You may need to flash a kernel. I'll check into it this week.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
I seem to get better battery with the optimizer off. Weird...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
Not really. It also searches for 4g. It is constantly looking for the best possible way to connect. Whether it be 3g, 4g, or wifi. It is also supposed ti remember the locations of these spots as repitition starts to happen, but then it is always looking at locations. The idea of the optimizer is cool, but imo needs lots of improvement.

if i had a clock in pants, it would be hi-noon!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I noticed it switched to WiFi when the phone is plugged in to charge. Interesting little thing sprint has going there.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Optimizer has been working well for me. When I get home, it automatically goes WIFI to conserve battery in case I forget. When I leave, I'm back on 4g. I love it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It seems the issues are few and far between. At this point I'm playing with some minor tweaks until I stumble on something more major to incorporate.

As an aside, I've added a barcode to the op for downloading the rom just because.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
TH-V is running really well. as expected :)

With optimizer I have actually been bounced over to roam a few times; which never happened before that feature.

I'm patiently waiting for CM9 ICS w/Random sprinkles :D
