[General Questions and Answers] Master619:
Well since this is hot I may as well post here instead of starting a new topic. How is the Sola vs Ace 2? It has the microsd card slot that the U lacks and also a bigger screen. Pricing is not a problem to me since in my area they're selling for the same price (some stores even have the Sola slightly cheaper). Spec-wise the Sola seems to beat the Ace 2 but there's this problem: on almost every review that I've seen (Sola only, Ace 2 only, and comparing them together) the Ace 2's web browsing experience is MUCH smoother than the Sola's, including pinch zooming and panning/swiping around. This may be due to the Samsung's tweaked browser though, I'm not quite sure. Also the Ace 2's Touchwiz interface seems a little snappier than the Sola's Timescape. The Sola does better at most benchmarks though, but the Ace 2's results are close.

And one more thing: does disabling Bravia Engine make Xperia phones smoother/snappier?
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Sola still has GB, that's why. Browser on ICS is faster, due Google optimization. About BRAVIA engine, as far as I know, it won't make any difference.

[General Questions and Answers] Master619:
Thanks for the quick reply. Still I'm pretty sure in those videos the Ace 2 was still running GB though. Not 100% sure, but looks like it. In fact, the Ace 2 still hasn't had ICS update, has it (promised, but not yet)?
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Well, I'm not sure, to be frank. I always thought Ace 2 had ICS from factory... And TW skin for ICS is really similar to GB. That's another point that, for me, the Sola wins. If you read the whole thread, you can see I'm a Sony fan, but I'm trying to be more neutral.

how's the difference with the huawei u8650 ?

is it too narrow to use the keyboard?
[General Questions and Answers] kirakun:
Not to forget that if the ace2 can get overclocks with time and reach 1000mhz easily and maybe same as overclocked xperia since they use same chipset.
[General Questions and Answers] Xubu:
And the Galaxy Ace 2 has a lower SAR value:

Ace 2= 0.52 W/kg (head) vs. U= 1.62 W/kg (head) in my opinion too high!

How's the new FE22 Kernel treating everyone?

I just flashed it an hour ago with ODEN, and it seems fine so far, battery might even be better cause it seems to not drop as fast, but further testing is necessary.
[Xperia Play General] supernoodles2011:
hello as you probly all know the xperia play isnt getting the ICS Update so i am looking for the best rom around..

i understand most probly have something that another does not etc

basicly i need pretty much everything working like it would be on GB but as ICS

im willing to lose out on silly things that wont affect me

and hopefully a working gamepad.. i know i can just easily look into the dev section but to be quite honest i dont know much about what is written there and which is most suitable

and also if possible could someone direct me to a guide on how to change what rom im on smoothly with images and making sure i dont lose my phone unlock(any network) and signal etc

Thank you in advance sorry if i seem lazy but im kinda a noob lol

The theme looks spectacular!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:
Gonna go try this in a bit ^^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
Looks great man, I'm going to try this now!

If you can, can you change the background on the Messaging app to black instead of white? In your screenshots, it looks white and I think black would be better suited for our phone, plus it saves battery!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andywu2334:
Agreed on the black background for MMS! Looks great, though, gonna give it a try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I personally like the white. But I can make one that has a black background as a add on if that would be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
I'm sure that'll work.

How come you chose not to include the stock email app? I use exchange with my uni. account so I kinda need it in a rom haha.

Anyway, everything else looks awesome man! I really like how everything works on here, hell if I end up having enough free time maybe I should start doing this too lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Honestly. I didn't even think about that. What I will do. Tonight or tomorrow I will make a full ROM version for those that would like the stock apps. You can always remove the ones you don't want. And also do a stock messaging app with the black background and those bubbles and icons.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
I think it would be good if you could theme the status bar to look more like ics :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Nice work buddy.

If you want any help with themeing status bar and/or getting transparent pull down let me know.

I might be able to help you.

Congrats to you first official release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Will have an update out in a few. Have been working on it for a while. One last flash to test it then I will upload. Here is the changes. I will add them to the OP once it's done.

Update: v1.1

Added in Svoice and all appropriate files. I tested this and everything seemed to work fine for me.

Oped a bunch of apps with it. It's actually pretty cool.

Added Stock Email and Exchange back. Sorry for those who needed it.

Themed some more of the build. Darkened the background for the notification buttons.

Themed the power widget

Themed the email apks

Added a Stock MMS Mod. This is the stock Mms themed with just the icons and bubbles.

So it has the darker background. I will do a solid black one but this will do for now.

Request. If you notice when you long press on the home screen it gives you some options for

homescreen or lockscreen. When you select those there are a few empty slots. Reason being that

the launcher needs the gallery from the SGSIII. I have a full System/app dump from the SGSIII

but adding in the apk isn't enough. Anyone that may have some insight into this please feel

free to throw out ideas. Once I get that app to work then I can move onto other things from the

SGSIII.

Enjoy and thanks for the nice responses.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Wouldn't let me thank you from the portal. Phone is flashing so I can't thank you from tapatalk. Just wanted to say thanks man. I really appreciate all the compliments. I wanted to do something for this community for a while. Just couldn't find a project that I could really get into. This one has peaked my interest. So there will be plenty to come.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mamouton:
It just keeps getting better and better. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guirae:
just flashed 1.3. whenever i put any of the calendar widgets, the launcher freezes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcaplinger76:
I have heard that it means "daylight savings time" ... Pretty useless if you ask me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mamouton:
I was just getting ready to post the same thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
Yea but works good after that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
I don't think its even installed.....its not in the app folder in root explorer
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mamouton:
With 1.3 I can't get the calendar widget to work at all. When I navigate to the page with the widget it freezes.

With 1.2 it would freeze once then work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
My phone is hella hot running this rom. Also drain battery like rain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcaplinger76:
Sounds like an app is using alot of the cpu, hold down he button and go to task manager and see
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
That's weird...mine is working just fine

Here I pulled mine....you can see if they work :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mamouton:
I will give them a try. When I download them they change to a zip file. Do I just need to rename them to .apk?

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

When I try to install the calendar apk it keeps telling me application not installed. It goes through the motion only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
Download them thru your phone and delete or back up your other calendar/widget.....and then copy/paste the new one in the app folder in root explorer
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mamouton:
Thanks for your help. Do you mean the system app folder?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
Yes that folder....lol, my bad
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downtrodn:
How do we run the battery scripts? I'm pretty new to that stuff I rely on the rom to handle the battery most of the time.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mamouton:
Still no go on the widget. I am using exchange and google calendars. What type of calendar are you using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kchitown1977:
I know el29 recommend to flash. If I flash el26 kernel via mobile odin. Can rom be flashed that way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
Well damn.....I am using the TW calender/widget....don't know why it's not working on yours:confused::confused:

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

Yes....I use EL26 to flash all roms

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

I think it's cooked in already....don't get me wrong tho :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downtrodn:
You should be able to change the governors though? Right? :what:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
You should be able to....the tweaks are locate in the \etc\int.d ........ you can use ROM Toolbox to change the governor and more
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chitownboi24:
I dont know if this is a known issue but I can't get location to work. It keeps saying n/a
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Not sure why the issues with the calendar widget are persisiting. I checked it several times and it always did the same thing. It would FC once and then work fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mamouton:
None of the calendar widgets will work for me. It fc's all calendar widgets every time. My calendar works great though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
Yea I'm not sure either......"something fishy is goin on around here"....:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I may just pull that widget until I can see what's going on. It may be app related or it may be just luck of a flash. Let me ask this. Those that are having issues. What are you doing before you flash.

All I do when testing is this.

Odin EL29 full build

Odin EL26 CWM kernel

Wipe data/factory reset

Flash ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mamouton:
I was flashing from EL29 and using CWM to flash rom. I then followed your directions to the letter and still same issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
I think it's just luck of the flash....cuz it's working on my end

cuz I do is

Odin EL26 CWM kernel

Flash Modified Caulk Format zip or Caulk Format All

Flash ROM and other goodies :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
There is still some issues in the launcher so it probably is. For now I would say try android pro Widgets. They are a great alternative. Sammy really did redo touchwiz from the ground up. Before you could generally just swap out launchers and such. Not this time. It'll come in time though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Just check out this rom and this rom is using complete kobridge tweak pack v3.2M.

For ICS rom, you won't get anything by changing the governor. Because of limitation of all governors on stock rom, I've changed almost everything based on ondemand governor. It's ok that you change the governor through any tool but in that case, it would not work properly.

If you want to change the tweak mode, just visit my thread and download the different tweak mode based on stock rom FE22 v3.2. Again in this rom 3.2M included. So, if you want to try something elese SF, F or A, visit my thread to get more options.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Yep. I went with the moderate option. Pretty good work man. I normally don't run any tweaks or scripts on my phone but I gave yours a shot and was really impressed. I may play with the other options as well. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drewchr7:
hmmm

Quick question how do i remove the tweaks completely from this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
You would have to delete the init.d folder from system/etc. Replace the build.prop with the one from the stock FE22 ROM. And remove the CPU scripts from system/bin. I will have to get the name of that file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
dvfs.sh. You need to replaced this file from stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ANTHONY81L:
This touchwiz 5 launcher is clearly not tweaked correctly yet for our e4gt .. it works fine for a little while and then it fc's constantly . ive tried it every time a "New" tweaked version is released and its not stable . shame .. for the first time i actually liked TW ... on a side note did anyone notice the deep sea live wallpaper works with the censor ? if you shake your phone fast to one side all the jellyfish fly to the side . just thought id share that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I'm still working on the launcher what I can. I think it is mainly because it is looking for certain things in the framework that just aren't there. There is only one lib that has to be inlcued to make it work. The rest of it is in the ROM and Launcher. I'm gonna try working with the actual ROM from the SGS3 and see if I can get certain aspects of it to work on this phone like the frameworks and junk. Probably won't but worth a shot. Makes me really wonder why Sammy didn't include this version of touchwiz in the ICS update for our phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:
So the update for our phone has already been pushed ota?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
No but if they was going to include touchwiz 5 it would have already been in there. Touchwiz is much much more then a launcher. It incorporates a framework, apps that work around it and then the launcher. It is almost like a ecosystem. Thats why the apps such as the launcher and svoice and sagenda won't work if we just swap em over, You have to find the peices of touchwiz they rely on an then bring them over too.

I'm having lag when there is an incoming call.. it rings for like 5 seconds but the screen stay sleeping, then it wakes up.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaron7_11:
does prl & profile update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
This is TW based. Everything should work. It is built directly off of the FE22 build. So whatever issues the FE22 builds have this one will have.

Only gingerbread let's you update prl and profile update

I think it's happening because it goes to a deep sleep.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bjg020683:
I'm guessing the new update is 1.3? Is that what everybody is running? I tried to use 1.3 but calendar widget would not work. Fc everywhere. The threads name has not change from 1.2 to 1.3 that's the reason why I'm asking
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcaplinger76:
Fast, I tried all of them but that gave me the best result
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
Found a weird bug, unsure if it's just this ROM or FE22 in general. When I have the phone on silent, I still receive notification tones. It's really annoying when it goes off in your ear unexpectedly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Good to know. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xerxax:
Anyone know if there is a way to put a direct dial/message on the home screen? I might be blind bit I didn't see any option. I also looked in the contacts for an option and didn't find anything there either. Any app suggestions? Thanks in advance, love this rom btw! 1.3 running well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
They are both in the widgets
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nitronet:
YES it is the tweaks doing this, switch to the non tweaked version and this problem goes away.

Is there an un-tweaked 1.3 version coming soon?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
Does anybody else have the problem where the brightness changes to auto brightness after using the browser?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Browser has it's own brightness setting.

Have you checked it?

Wile in browser hit menu->settings and navigate to brightness.

Uncheck autobrightness and you should be good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
Yeah but can I keep auto brightness on the browser without having my system brightness change?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Actually it should not affect system autobrightness.

AFAIK.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
Doesn't happen all the time but sometimes the system brightness changes after using the browser. I might have to reflash the rom if I can't solve this.

None taken man. This is and always has been a group effort as far as I'm concerned. Any and all that help are truly appreciated. Honestly I do not have the skill alone to do what I essentially want to do. It will take help from other smarter then me to help. I will take a read over what ya got there and see what I can do. Thanks for the find.

Edit: I looked and thats the same two files I added. The launcher and the lib. Maybe there is something done different to the launcher as far as tweaking. I will try it out for sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ANTHONY81L:
I'm glad you understand brother in my opinion I think the weather widget and the calendar widget 4 touch wiz might have been what was making the launcher force close maybe try deleting it from your launcher and see how it works because it is working amazing the way I set it up on my phone thanks for all your help and we are lucky to have a developers like yourself
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I will give it a shot. And FWIW. I'm not sure what the guy that did this did differently then the mod I used but I could tell a difference immediately after redoot. I manually pushed the lib and launcher and rebooted. Great find man. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ANTHONY81L:
Glad to help bro
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
So I tried out the suggested mod and it does make a difference. I think its the lib file that does it. There may be something different between the two libs. I tried a few combos. I feel its nailed down enough for now.

Now comes the fun stuff. I'm wondering how hard it will be to get the system dump I have to boot on this phone properly. I am this king of merging the libs from FE22 and the System Dump I have and adding the FE22 kernel and the SGS3 framework and files and flashing. I don't think it will boot like that though. Anyone in this thread no anything about porting ROM's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
We've been trying bro lol Google and you'll find a few articles that might help, or guides rather. Hope you can get it booting:D

Looks like we may see a FE26 leak soon. Maybe that will help a few things. I am seeing some bugs with using the sgs3 launcher and apps.

When sending receiving text. Unlocking the phone after getting a text seems to cause the launcher to crash.

The launcher crashes every so often. I'm going to keep playing with it but it does have a few issues.
