[Epic 4G Android Development] Cluefree:
That was a problem in the previous incarnation of this ROM that some people had... Though I haven't seen anyone mention it yet for v5 (until now). It predates the optimizer (fc09).... unless this is being caused by a completely different mechanism. I know RK always struggled to reproduce it since I don't think he had 4g coverage where he lives.... Odd that it would crop up again... I'd love to know what on some few phones seems to conflict with the 4g like this...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It happened to quite a few on Legendary when they flashed Marcusant's speed tweaks. So it is similiar to that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I had the previous 4g issues where it wouldn't connect after WIFI or WIFI wouldn't connect after 4g. I don't think it's the same issue. I have no issues with 4g or WIFI now.

I finally got a device to take advantage of Bluetooth. New car stereo on the way! I'm stoked! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
Loving the theme, but some backgrounds are too dark to read the text. Can this be fixed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
So I haven't been on a tw rom in a while... Jesus, I forgot what battery life was. :thumbup:
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Tell Marcusant...his phone is ass backwards.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
This ROM gives me the best stability and battery life of any that I have tried. One thing I am interested to find out is if there is a script or any way to keep the "Stay Awake" option always enabled even after a reboot?

I have searched high and low for a fix, but haven't found anything as of yet.

Edit: Apparently I didnt search hard enough, found a solution here > StayAwake in the Play Store.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Ok, I can confirm that there IS an issue with 4g and Wifi on this rom as well, but I didn't experience it until I finally started using the Bluetooth. It seems that if Bluetooth is used at all during a phone session without restarting, then you can't switch between wifi and 4g. One or the other won't connect until you restart. I confirmed this through multiple trials now that I have a bluetooth radio in my car (w00t!). There's still something screwy with Bluetooth as far as Wifi/4g are concerned.

Without using Bluetooth, I have no issue moving back and forth. As soon as Bluetooth comes into the picture, it starts again. Maybe it's a number of different types of connections issue? I can't confirm if this problem exists on other roms as I only just got a Bluetooth device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Try to clear the files from \system\etc\init.d folder (move them someplace else using root explorer)

reboot and give that a go for a bit; those are the tweaks to the OS that are set at boot, some of the names will give you an idea as to what they affect, you might even be choosy if you want to play with combinations.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
I can confirm that there is a bluetooth issue as well. I didn't try deleting any files. I just flashed a diff rom. If deleting files does fix the problem, please let me know...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It seems to be helping people trying the new Sleeper. I think there are some things in those scripts that is not playing well with FC09.

wifi tether problems

So i installed this rom on my friends epic 4g and it went fine..

my issue is the wifi hotspot/tethering doesn't work...

help??
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
This would explain my problem. I tried to figure out the cause in regards to kernel, BML/MTD, overclocking, and connections optimizer (as of FC09) but I was never able to get it to work right, it would constantly fail at obtaining an IP. Other ROMs always worked fine. Looking back, I always had bluetooth turned on for my car. I wouldn't have guessed bluetooth could cause issues with 4g/wifi, but thinking about it now the problem really only manifested when I got home or got to work... both times after having connected to bluetooth in my car. I remember for a while bluetooth had an issue turning on with this ROM, but he fixed that in thunderhawk 4 final iirc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eversavage:
i had the modem 30l? so im thinking i need to have it on fc09?
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
I don't know if it will make much of a difference, but you can always try...

Changing modems is a safe but fun task!

Okay so I odind back to EC05...booted just fine..

then I went into recovery and flashed 5.1...

now its stuck at RandomRom splash screen. I've restarted too.

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Maybe because you need to update to FC09 first?

If you odin back to EL30 then you should accept all the updates you receive before flashing cwm.

And if you wanna save sometime just odin the FC09 tar then root then flash this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jackal424:
Tried that...

i followed QBKINgs FC09 root method, but it didnt work.

Latest step i tried was flash BML CWM...then flash FC09 prerooted BML stock rom, then flashed RR 5.1....still nothing, its frozen at RandomRom splash screen..

now if I odin back to stock FC09 now, it boots up just fine. So I dont know why my phone dont like BML CWM, then BML ROM method..

i waited 10 mins for the splash screen
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
You need to convert to MTD, flash CM9 first then wipe and flash thunderhawk 5.1

or use the BMLtoMTD zip on random's download/install instructions page.

Wifi Mode Themes

For those of you upgrading your phones, but hanging on to your beloved Epics for whatever reason, this is for you! It's a minor, but aesthetically pleasing solution! I've added "Custom Wifi Version [For De-comissioned Phones]" options for the three main color themes (Pink coming when I can make it more pink!). These theme variants change a few key things.

The assumption is, that you will be placing your phone into Airplane Mode, or as I've relabeled it, "Wifi Mode." The airplane symbol in the task bar will be replaced with "WiFi." The carrier label will be replaced from "(No Service)" to still state "RandomROM FC09."

The idea is to make your beloved Epic feel like a wifi device rather than a crippled phone.

wierdness a gwan here. please help if you can :)

Hello 1st I want to say how happy I am with my epic now with this rom...but of course a few of us has experienced a few annoyances, some can be over looked though...1st I could not flash the BML version at all it would not complete no matter how many times I wiped or odin'd back to stock FC09 and rooted it would just hang on the random rom splash screen, so I had to convert to MTD using that nifty converter zip and my epic booted up on the 1st flash...go figure..?...now on MTD I found that messing with the quick panal for my scrollable status breaks my Flashlight, reboot, and shutdown toggle and then I have to flash 5.1 all over again I tested this 3 times so I don't mess with the quick panals any longer. Also on occassion when I press my dialer icon to call someone it closes to the home screen but after several attempts ( The Annoyance) my dialer doesn't close and I'm able too make my call. I use go launcher for my home replacement but each time I reboot my epic or just turn it on it always ask me to make a home replacement a default one and that's through out my phone I go my texts then press my home button it asks me to make one my default home screen to correct this I deleted twlauncher as well as launcher pro but my question is why should I have to do that when I can just make go launcher my default home launcher...I think that's all of my experiences with this rom ??? If I have any new bugs found or weirdness ill post yet again but if any one could shine some light on these weird scenerios much would be appreciated. Also btw I also have experienced that glitch with the wifi being turned on and the 4g being broken.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Damn, this is fast... I just want the camera quality that I get on ics.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qstarin:
I have also found this to be true.

After flashing 5.1 there are 15 toggles in this order: Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sound, 4G, Flashlight, Auto Rotation, Data, Auto Sync, Airplane, Brightness, Screen Timeout, Lockscreen, Reboot, Shutdown.

If I go into QuickPanel Settings app and into either Widget Buttons or Widget Button Order there are only 12 widgets shown (flashlight, reboot, and shutdown are missing).

If I make any changes to the displayed buttons or their order then I loose the three missing toggles (flashlight, reboot, and shutdown) and the only way I've found to restore them is reflashing all of 5.1.

Otherwise, great ROM from Random as usual
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Try pulling quikpanelsettings.Apk out of The People's ROM 2.21.

I'm trying to put this on my wife's epic and I got a question. How long does the BML to MTD ZIP take to run? It's been rebooting for a while sndbi don't know if it's working or messing up. It keeps showing a script when it boots into recovery and then reboots again

Update - I pulled the battery and tried to go into recovery it starts the boot loop again

Update 2 - I odined back to fc09, rebooted, and and an trying again.

Update 3 - got it up and running, finally. After odining fc09, flashed CWM, flashed the mtd fc09 prerooted rom, then flashed thank 5.1

I'm on the lite version of this Rom and I want the standard touchwiz internet back...do anybody know where I can get the zip or apk please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Go here and download the sleeper rom zip.

use a program called 7zip to open the zip file and goto system/app folder and find browser.apk, extract that file and then copy it to your sd card

use root explorer (available in the play store)

try copying it to the data/app folder on your phone. see if that works for you

if not copy the apk to system/app folder. (you'll need to change the r/w to r/o status, found at the top of the folder list, of the folder in order to copy the apk)

you will need to reboot for the phone to pick it up
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomassbender:
So I wanted to stay on BML due to some problems I ran into with my phone after converting to MTD (most likely coincidental, but it still makes me hesitant to convert).

Can I run TH 5.1 in BML, or do I have to convert to MTD? If it does support BML, are both versions part of the same zip? I only saw one download on RK's blog, which I assumed was the MTD version.

If I can't run 5.1 on BML, anyone know the most recent version of TH that does run on 5.1?

Thanks for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Thunderhawk 5 would work; I am looking for that zip. Here, there is a link on his blog under old versions. Though it is painfully slow to download from goo. (it finally downloaded for me after like 10 minutes of waiting, I have that zip and can put it somewhere for you if you really want it)

That being said; MTD should not cause you any issues.

This is what I recommend.

backup any phone contacts (not google contacts those will sync for you), sms/mms and call log that you want to keep using MyBackup root (free on the market).

you can backup your apps and their data as well.

Put TH 5.1 on your sd card. download and put CM9 on your sd card.

Boot to recovery.

make a nandroid backup of your phone.

flash cm9 (it will convert the file system to MTD; their process seems to work better, the phone will reboot during the process of converting to MTD leave it be)

don't reboot to system when the complete CM9 flash is done

now flash TH 5.1

when that is done; reboot

let the phone start up; it will take a min or two. Login to google and let it sync.

using MyBackup root; restore your phone contacts, sms/mms and call logs you may have backed up before - no apps at this time.

Now use rom manager to make a backup called; clean thunderhawk51. This will give you a good starting point to get back to if a restore goes bad.

It is a pain but its highly recommended that you not restore data to ensure nothing can fubar the phone during a restore process.

But if you want; try to restore your apps and their data. If the phone goes off the deep end you can get back to a good place by restoring the clean backup you made prior to restoring apps and data.

If there is an issue above then just restore the apps and not their data and you can then set them up from there.

Hope this helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
@jdelano - Alright, So I'm still getting locked up after flashing TH5.1. I used The Peoples ROM v2.21 to convert to MTD which causes the system to reboot instead of going back to recovery before flashing TH5.1 (is that a problem?)

Here's the process I'm coming from: Odin unrooted FC09 > odin CWM 5.0.2.7 > Flash TPR for MTD conversion > flash TH5.1 > reboot and get locked on the initial Samsung boot screen.

Apparently I got spoiled by being able to incrementally update Random Rom for so damn long that doing this completely fresh from stock is kicking my ass... This all started when I tried doing the incremental from IV Final to 5.1. Since then I spent a couple days in frustration, and have been rocking the thing stock for a couple weeks now. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
hmmm; it still sounds like you're on bml when you're on TPR.

can you dbl check that when it reboots please ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
When flashing TH5.1 it says MTD detected. other than that and 5.0.2.7, what other ways can I find out? After the system locks, it won't even let me back into recovery. I have Odin back to stock and start over again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
after you flash TPR, let it boot and go into about phone to see what kernel is running, it should be designated with MTD in the name
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
Sure thing, I just finished re-downloading TH5.1, Shadow Kernel, and CM9. Once they're loaded I'll check.

Quick question on my process while I wait: Since I'm coming straight from a stock-unrooted FC09, then using odin to put CWM 5.0.2.7 on, it is the flashing of CM9 or TPR that is doing the rooting correct? Last time I had TPR up I checked for SU and everything appeared to be rooted, I just want to make sure I'm not mistaken...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
when you odin CWM is when you get root which allows you to flash the rom; I used the CM9 method I described to you a couple times on dfferent phones and was able to flash TH 5.1; the battery life on this ROM is outstanding.

Why not just go that method instead of testing the TPR flash.

I can't wait for Random to do his magic with the S3 :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
I'm going to use CM9 this time.

I wasn't able to find SU on stock FC09 after using Odin to install CWM 5.0.2.7, which could indicate I'm using the wrong file. Can you point me to where I can find the file you used?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I used the CMW tar from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497200

unchecked reboot in odin, flashed the recovery.

pulled the battery

put it back in

3 fingered to recovery

flash cm9 (i will reboot to cm9 when its done)

reboot to recovery

wipe

then flashed th 5.1

I forgot that cm9 will boot to the rom when its done, i just recalled that, been a while since i flashed it ... i have s3 stuff in my head now :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
Followed your steps and I'm still coming up no-go. I saw that after flashing CM9 I have root (which I didn't have after odin of 5.0.2.7 tar) and it installs CWM 5.5.0.4. Is there anything I should flash after TH5.1? Could a different kernel help fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Wow, TH 5.1 comes with a MTD kernel.

you can try to reflash one ... here are a few kernel threads

AIP : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1557444

Shadow: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668491 ** this comes with thunderhawk
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
yeah, it's crazy cause CM9 and TPR come up and run just fine. it's only after flashing TH5.1 that things get hinky... I've let it sit on the Samsung splash screen for 10+ minutes, should I wait longer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
no; it should only take a minute or so. Let me pull the zip I used to flash th 5.1. maybe something is up wth that zip ... give me a few.

Here is the link to my dropbox for the zip I flashed

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7366u1ug07i2u9v/ThunderHawk-5.1.zip

Its the only other thing I can think of. Man what a pain for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
Not even that worked for me. guess I'm SOL until the next iteration comes out...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I'm sorry; I am flat out of ideas as to why TH 5.1 isn't booting on your phone; when the others do. That truely sucks!

Oh wait I have 1 other idea where I could upload a nandriod backup from my old Epic (its been reset) then you could try to restore it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
I'll give it a shot!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
alright; give me a few minutes to get it uploaded for you.

ok here is a clean backup; boot to recovery, mount usb, copy the contents of the zip to clockworkmod/backup

then try to restore it

good luck

Use the QuickPanelSettings.apk that kenny is referring to from The Peoples Rom works with no flaws so far for about 3days. is your 4g working properly?? cus mine isnt...???

Did just that much appreciated dude!

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

ok so now i reflashed 5.1 and got my Quick Panel Settings to work, kudos to kenny for direction, now my 4g cant download any thing form the market it hangs and says waiting for network...3g works fine downloading from the market or from any browser. 4g on the other hand only works on a browser and not a market download. i have rebooted several times, i battery pulled, and just shutdown & turned on my epic and it still hangs, i believe this happened during testing the wifi/4g bug to see if me reflashing a new fresh downloaded zip would fix that and usually after a reboot 4g is back to normal but not in this instance, i am going to try reflashing again. i really dont want to go to TPR because of aesthetics and battery life can any one explain why this has happened and how to correct it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Could be a Sprint network error. Give it a day or two and see if it clears up.

Thanks for the list of explicit instructions! I've gone back to TH III which converted me over to EXT4 and I'll run with that for a while. I'm sure I'll get the itch for scrollable toggles and swipe-away notifications soon enough, which will force me to MTD. Just gotta make sure my phone is still cooperating with Odin (didn't wok last time after switching to MTD and I got screwed).
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowy70:
I don't think it is a sprint issue. I have not been able to download from the play store on 4G since I changed to TPR 2.2 several weeks ago. Now I am on RR 5.1 and still can not download in 4G from play store. My wife's Epic is still on EL30 and has no problem downloading in 4g from play store.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
What does your 4G address say in settings when connected? Your 4G data might be messed up and it is time for a trip to Odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowy70:
It says 60D0A9F0009B
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You can try updating profile. If that don't work then you will need to return to stock reroot and flash and restore only apps, no data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Just no system data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowy70:
I wiped all data going from TPR to this rom and did not update any system data. Do you think I still need yo Odin ?

Does anyone with stock FC09 have problems downloading from play store on 4G ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Flastnoles just posted in TPR thread that he had trouble that magically cleared up today. His PRL just updated to 60690 too. May be connected to Sprint issue.

If it don't clear up for you in a day and you updated prl and profile then you would need to odin to reset wimax keys.
