Please see my second post.

Chris41g had discovered the ICS bug still exists in his kernels up til yesterday. So be sure to flash his newest RC10 or later. I will get a new build out when I have the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jocelyn:
Flashed and YouTube/flash in browser are now broken
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Did everyone else have the same experience as the guy above?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jocelyn:
Hey I have boobs lol. I had the same issue with RC1 b3. Is the YouTube issue happening for you Sant?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
It has been nonfunctional after 2_5.0718 :( chris has bigger fish to fry getting 4g stable and a stable kernel in general for cm I'm sure when that is done the video issue will get sorted. Best thing to do is use 2_5.0718 and do not flash any ics rooms with it. Go back to el26 for any flashing to be safe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jocelyn:
That's what I figured and thank you for the info...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] js11222:
every time i try to boot this rom it never works. i follow instructions from op as soon as phone boots it says com phone process error and i cant even open the lockscreen any ideas why?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asianizeboy:
Anything to look forward tofor the next update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chaosbelow247:
I can confirm this too... Also If anyone is looking to flash this rom please follow these steps. I have repeated the process at least 10 times:

1. Odin EL26 repacked CWM 5

2. Wipe using Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.

3. Flash MIUI 2.6.15

4. After flashing let it reboot into MIUI 2.6.15 ** THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT**

5. Then Odin Chris41G AOSP CWM5

6. And Finally flash MIUI 2.7.13 v4

Try that method. It is linked on the OP if you scroll down a bit. I had the same issue and that worked well for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
One thing that sucks about rooted android phones IMO is that the OS gets updated too often. For example, we just recently got the source for ICS but not we have Jelly Bean! Now, nobody gives a rat's **** about ICS and want to jump on the JB bandwagon just when ICS is becoming more stable.

Yeah, I know that really isn't a particularly useful rant in terms of this ROM but I couldn't help myself.

I'm looking forward to the latest release. If we have at least a working reliable recovery and no LOS I will take it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Yeah I know. I'm probably just gonna stick with the Nexus line from now on. They get the fastest updates from Google and they have the most development. The Nexus is gonna have JellyBean working with no problems in just a few weeks. Not to mention GoogleNOW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mick3444:
It already works perfectly with absolutely zero bugs! With awesome battery life and AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!! I have it running on my sprint galaxy nexus right now!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] munkybeatz:
Ya, and on my Nexs S 4g, I've never had the stability issues that are present on this phone. Heck, I've never seen it on any of my phones this long after the official releases of android. We still have stability issues that are generally only present in alphas. I originally bought this phone, because I assumed it would have the largest dev community since it's one of the highest selling android phone lines [the GSII overall that is].
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mick3444:
I totally agree! I was so sick of the having to flash the el26 kernel before flashing anything on ics. It was so refreshing to just be able to wipe and flash on the galaxy nexus. Also, the day after i/o 2012, I had an extremely stable build of jellybean running. I was amazed!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Yeah, I was using your same logic when I bought this phone. I figured Sprint and Samsung would offer really great prompt support and there would be a ton of Devs around. Don't get me wrong, we have some really great dedicated devs here but just not as many as I thought there would be.

Following the Nexus line of phones may be a good idea for my next purchase although I have to admit that I'm enticed by the idea of a Note 2 if it gets released for Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Yeah I agree with everyone here. What I like about the Nexus line is that there are tons of development, fast/stable updates and you will always have the Google experience. And to be honest I would rather have all storage space on the phone. I don't like SD cards because people can steal them out of your phone and get all of the stuff you don't want people to see. You put a lock on the phone and you literally never worry about it. Not to mention you never have to worry about "what if my SD card dies tomorrow?" type of deal. I'd rather have a Nexus. My gripe about it though is Samsung is NOTORIOUS for bad antennas in their phones. I couldn't even tell you how much better signal I get on my 4S compared to my GSII. I see everything coming back and I did some more research (I work at Sprint btw lol).

I was debating on the iPhone 5, but that display is hideous if they decide to make it thinner and longer, not to mention root is better than jail breaking. Remove ads, all music is in one library, bigger screen, free apps, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Pretty much hate you LOL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
I'm looking forward to the note 2. Im outta contract on oct 1 and will likely leave sprint then. even with stock everything (actually let me detach here and say its my old evo which is my wife's phone now) and latest prl i get 1.5mpbs down at my house, my cousin has an iphone on verizon and 3g is 3-4mbps down. my e4gt anywhere from 300k-1mbps and sometimes 5-7kbps download, what a load. my dissatisfaction with sprint will make me leave. and i rarely ever hit 2gb a month data so there are far better alternatives and better phones now :victory:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Yeah Verizon's new data plan is gonna put a hole in your pocket for sure. The fact that Sprint is UNLIMITED and not capped is good, but we need the LTE to back it up. It is in 15 major cities at the moment, which puts us ahead of schedule, but the delay is a joke when Metro gets it before we do! If you stick around I'm sure you won't be dissatisfied. I'm sure towards the middle/end of next year will be an interesting time for 4g.

But if you gotta take the plunge, do what you gotta do. Once you sign up for two years with Verizon there isn't going back so I'd wait until around Christmas to see if it is going to your area first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asianizeboy:
Is there a fix for the internet bug yet? I would love to get back on Miui...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
Hey guys, Just tried to flash back to MIUI and now my phone keeps giving me endless errors. "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"

I am using chris' rc10 kernel and wiped and formatted calkins. ???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
This has been discussed a retarded amount of times already. You can not just flash the latest rom on its own. You have to flash 2.6.15 (I believe) version first then flash the latest on top of it to get it to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
2.8.3 Not yet ready

I have 2.8.3 ready except I have ran into my old issue that this time I cannot fix. Any apps that go to internal .android_secure keeps deleting, or rather the write permission gets whacked. On the bright side is everything is working excellently. In fact the installation process couldnt be any smoother, no more having to flash previous builds to get the current one running. So, Im back to having to get advice on this one so its gonna be a while more :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edanono:
Please keep at it Captain. I love me some miui and so want a stable one. Had 7.20 fall apart on me when trying to reboot into recovery from the power menu.

I read that I had the still corrupt recovery from chris41 and wanted to update. That did not go so well.

Danono
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
If you are still on 2.7.20 and have the kernel that came with it you can odin (mobile odin) one of his newer kernels without a problem. just dont go into recovery to do that, as you already know :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asianizeboy:
Hope you can get it fixed. I was wondering if the internet is working ok and not getting random d/cs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edanono:
I had flashed one of his "safe" kernels when I flashed 7.20. Ran it for a day before I saw that someone found the bug. It was attempting to reboot into recovery that broke it. Stuck on the Samsung boot screen. Anyone e else have that happen?

Danono
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
That's great news CAP! Have you tested recovery on this latest build yet? The main thing that scared me about the previous builds was the issue of not being able to get into recovery. That can be a major pain in the **** if you're not near your computer with Odin available.

Unrelated question for ya Cap: Have you heard anything on JB MIUI yet? Do you think you will have this phone long enough to attempt porting it when it comes out?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
@capitain

I loaded the 2-7-20 and rc10 kernel from chris. My video camera FC's. Any suggestions??

Also have the phantom voicemail again.

Thanks for your hard work!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
Update on latest MIUI

I have been working on building this from the ground up. With lots of help from Anon9mouz, but a problem comes with every advancement. I have started with the latest CM9 and am working off of that. It cleanly installs with no problems, so no more witchery to get it going, and it will have chris41g latest kernel with video working (yay!) but it is still far from complete. I am doing this so I have a solid base to get my weekly port done and get it out in a timely fashion. Thus we may (hopefully not) miss this weeks build but I feel that in the long run it will be worth it.

Oh and some stats:

Before I got recovery working I would Odin EL26 and my Odin count was around 30 (that was the most for me)

Now that the recovery flashes I don't have an Odin count anymore but I have flashed that many test builds this weekend.

I am hoping that I get an interview for a new position this week (fingers crossed) so that will likely slow progress down as well :( but don't distress I will keep plugging away at this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
The camera typically FC the first time it loads (caching?) and then you can open it again. At least that is how it has worked for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
Recovery is fixed :victory: and I am in all likeliness leaving sprint for whatever it is that walmart sell (cant think of it atm) and looking seriously at the note 2 or nexus 2 and going gsm. so, its not in the cards for me to port that. that and I want to pick up doing immunization clinics on my days off (christmas money ;) ) so my time is running out here soon. that is why I need to get that base done :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
sucks that you won't be here much longer, but alas, suck is life on the Development scene, devs come and go with the wind. I like your idea of establishing a solid base before worrying about weekly updates. IMO that is the most logical step to take. Look forward to the next release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nee_vak:
Hopefully 3g data has been fixed in the next build, I've had to reboot every time data stops working (most likely after low signal area). Other than that everything's been excellent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Out of curiosity how often would you say are you experiencing this LOS? What modem are you using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
Camera works fine. Video FC's. Still have fantom VM.

Another issue I have noticed is that data speeds seem to be reversed. 4g download is only 400k, upload is 1.5m. 3g download is 400k upload is 800k.

Strange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
Havent had much time with development on this lately, but, I took it out especially to test drive this, Im on FF18 modem and latest prl, I was near a strong signal at got 2mpbs download and 900k up, that is the best I have had on MIUI, also wifi has gotten a lot better, my ping time to my router was 40ms and d/l 15mb and u/l 9mb very good than what was before. so, 3g seems to be much much better, however, I did get one of those weird would not connect to 3g and had to reboot to get it to connect. tomorrow i have a few hours gonna try and work some more on miui then rest of week is freakin busy :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asianizeboy:
Thanks for the hard work! Waiting for stable 3g connection.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Eagerly awaiting this release!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nee_vak:
Not really sure, maybe once a day, I thought LOS made the phone lose all signal (including voice). I usually keep data off unless I'm using it. Looks like baseband is EL26.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
And to update your prl, you have to go completely back to el26?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
You have to go back to any TW based rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Or flash the temp boot el29 from emmc and not deal with any of that mess...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MasterZen88:
Great Job on the Rom Captain!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Scar107:
OK I'm feeling like a newb right now. I have been on ICS & AOSP Jelly Bean for so long. I seem to have forgotten some basic rules with MIUI. Everything flashed fine and worked fine. It wasn't until I got a bright idea to give the ota ff18 a try that everything went wrong. I (like a dumbass) held down power and selected reboot/recovery. It was at that moment I realized I just screwed up. As MIUI does not have recovery and I should have went back to a GB kernel and proceed that way.

I am currently stuck on the SII logo. I pulled the battery hoping it would reset, nothing. Pulled the battery again and was able to go into download mode. Now the problem is PC Odin isn't recognizing the phone. No com port, and the computer doesn't even chime like it normally does when the phone is connected.

Does any one have any ideas, or have I bricked my first phone?

Side note I am using an LG USB cord at them moment my last to HTC cords have dried. Could that be a reason for the PC not seeing the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asianizeboy:
any new updates on Miui?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Oh man, that really blows. I had a similar experience when I installed this ROM. Actually, there is SUPPOSED to be a recovery with this current but it is totally FUBAR as you are well aware. Unlike you however, I was able to get the phone to boot into download mode and was able to use PC based ODIN to flash my way out of that mess. Maybe keep trying to get into DOWNLOAD mode...hopefully it will eventually take.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Bump to the top...hoping Cap has good news for us soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xxxicu812:
Hey, I read somewhere on here that they're was actual dust debris in the USB slot of either the PC or the phone. after he cleared it everything was fine. just a thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
This video camera thing is killing me. Tried to reload the rom, after clearing cache and dalvik cache, but still fc's. data thing is not really working. What modem are you guys using to get any speed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Scar107:
I remembered ready that also. ;) I tried blowing everything out to no success. I really think it is the LG cord I am using. Gonna pick up a new one today and pray that does the trick.

Keep us posted on whether you are able to recover from this brick. I suspect that your cable or drivers may be the problem. From what I've been reading on bricked phones they usually can't even enter DOWNLOAD mode. Hope the outcome is a good one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Scar107:
The outcome is glorious on my end of the problem! Went to Walmart bought a $10 universal micro USB sync/charge cable. And presto PC recognizes my phone and Odin responds like magic!

Here is a pic of the box for the cable. Mad props to ONN, your product delivers!

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and advice.

I hope this ROM for the SG2 is not dead. Seems like when ever a ROM is almost complete a new phone comes out (i.e., SG3) and development stops (like on our SG2) and we never get a fully operational rom. Should we just get a SG3 phone now. Please say it aint so.....:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Exactly why I'm going with a Nexus line phone or getting the MIUI phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
Well I am a little depressed. I have to jump off miui for a while. Just running into too many issues.

I am listing them, just for reference.

1. Data. Can't get 4G radio to behave properly. 3g not working properly either.

2. Long text messages don't seem to want to send. This might have been a coincidence, with the data issue.

3. Video camera doesn't work.

4. No video playback in netflix.

5. Glitchy display.

Anyway, I already miss some of the features. Will keep an eye out .

Ps. Another thing is that search function doesn't seem to support auto correct
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahl395:
Immediately after flashing when I turn on the phone i get tons of force closes.

I've tried re-downloading and flashing multiple times, I'm formatting everything each time and following intructions, but nothing is working.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdagraca:
fix glitchy display

TO FIX GLITCHY DISLAY, GO INTO

/system and edit the build prop.

use es file explorer.

in es file explorer press menu/settings, and then click root explorer and mount file system (so changes can be made to files)

open the build.prop and view the lines carefully

keep scrolling down (trying not to click or accidentally erase or add text to the lines, will mess ur phone up) and look for the

"hwui.disable_vsync=true" line...

erase that line

press menu and save changes,

reboot and enjoy no more glitchy/pixelated screen !
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
Thanks. Will try that, if some of the other issues get sorted
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdagraca:
how to install this

well, go to the official miui site in the OP and download the 2.6.15 version of the app,

use desktop odin to flash the el26 kernel to your phone.

wipe cache, date, and dalvik and if you have the calkulin format all zip on the sd card, flash that too

DO NOT FLASH GAPPS

install the 2.6.15 version of the miui (from the official site) AND CHIRS41G KERNEL CWM RC10 (SO THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BOOT BACK INTO RECOVERY ONCE U INSTALLED 2.6.15)

and then let it boot up

IT SHOULD BOOT ( THEN TRANSFER THIS VERSION 2.7.20) TO YOUR PHONE and flash it OVER TOP OF (meaning don't wipe cache dalvik or data) 2.6.15.. and let it reboot again.. enjoy.. check my post above to fix glitchy display

hope this helps

You have to install the earlier version of miui, then the latest on top

Dialer Codes

Question, is there any way to use dialer codes on this, or somehow access the dialer code menus through the terminal? I want to use a new PRL, and would hate to have to downgrade to a new rom, in order to update it. Thanks for all the help! It is greatly appreciated. I would just update it through the standard menu, but I always get a FC
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Venomusdragon:
As far as I'm aware the dialer codes do not work on any aosp rom... pretty sure you have to flash back to a gb rom or any rom I suppose that supports updating prl then flash a backup of your miui over that after you update prl, apologize in advance if this advice is outdated, been out of the game for a minute lol

sent from my SGS2 running AOKP, eh...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffm922:
as far as the long messages go, if your using miui stock messaging app it doesn't support sms split because china networks don't need to split like cdma does, that would be why it can't send the long messages (over 160 charachters)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
HOLY CRAP!!!

Nope, I didn't drop off the face of the planet! (OK no more exclamation points, I promise!) What a journey and while she ain't pretty she can do the polka :highfive: I am still trying to merge up to the latest CM9 build but I am way closer than before. My biggest nemesis .android_secure is almost a thing of the past (almost) but on 2.8.10 it's taken care of. Let me test run this for the better part of the day and up to my dev-host later on if everything is running without a hitch. But, I want to bang this one out since I will be at the hospital up til the weekend. There were a lot of neat features in 2.8.10 so I'm happy to be able (fingers-crossed) to get it out. It still is royal-B to get installed :crying: but wifi works, sms/mms works, phone works, and 3g seems to be locking on a lot better (I swear sammy chose the absolute crappiest modem they could find to put in this phone), i literally got a gps lock in 25seconds (I had a timer to count this). Now the not so good news, I am still trying to merge, as i said with the latest cm9, this is still based off of the old cm9 from june(?) so the best kernel for us is still 41g_rc2_5-0718, chris does have a epic touch now so hopefully a kernel will be out that we can use with recovery. yes, this has that dreaded no recovery so that means 1 of 2 things: flash el26 to do any flashing in recovery or one of chris' latest kernels. the good news on the latter is that if something goes awry in recovery you will go back into miui. so, sit tight and wait :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monkeybone12:
