Let me start by saying THANKS!. It is always great to have a FAQ available for something as popular and widely used as the Blu Kuban ROM is.

My question has to do with whether or not we need to use a program such as SetCPU or other if we are using the Kuban Kernel and have installed one of the Kernel tweak scripts. I would prefer to not have to use a third party tool to manage the Governor/Scheduler if it is already baked in (through the tweak). I have noticed that even though I have very good battery life right now, the 3rd party tool itself is eating up some of the battery.

Thanks again for writing up the FAQ.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
You don't need the cpu controlling app once you flash the kernel tweak as long as that's all you want. Apps allow for some more customization than the current tweaks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Yep, the script will take care of everything. If you want more control then an app is needed and you should flash back to the stock kernel tweak.

I am working on ExTweaks right now, that will allow for a lot more control over the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
Yeah I'm still working on research about kernel tweaks. I don't like posting information unless I'm comfortable with the material and I still have a lot of testing and reading to do. Also been busy with my new side job of being a ROM tester for team VeNuM. Oddly enough its not for Blu Kuban.

The Blu Kuban

Thank you so much for writing this detailed FAQ guide. I've been running TBK for a few months now so I'm pretty familiar with how things work but it's always nice to have a reference to fall back on when brain farts attack! Also, a big thank you to Ruj for putting together and maintaining in spectacular fashion the BEST ROM in the universe. Your hard work is appreciated by many. Looking forward to what your brilliant mind will be bringing us next. Keep up the excellent work. :D

after I updated to 1.0.4.4 I was having issues with gtalk force closing whenever I turned the phone on or rebooted, it made the phone sluggish for about the first 3 minutes, really annoying. I went on and deleted gtalk completely as I never use anyways, will this cause any issues for me in the future?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
No, you should be perfectly fine without GTalk.

Yup, just flash the script and then the rom.

Yes. You also do not need to Odin back to gb when using the x2, although it won't hurt to take the extra precaution. Personally I have tried about 15 roms in the last week and didn't use Odin once. Just run x2 and flash the ROM and reboot.

Something I noticed after flashing, is that the battery graph is often out of date by several hours. After doing a bunch of stuff for a few minutes, it'll be caught up, but it's terrible for spot-checking.

Percentage always seems right, though. Haven't had any problems with Kuban otherwise, though GB definitely gave me better battery life.

A change log only appears in the ROM section of the Updater when there is an ROM update, but is dropped (by design, obviously) once the BK ROM is updated. For those of us with lousy memories may I humbly ask that the change log be retained permanently? May I be even more bold in asking that the last 3 change logs be retained, and include tweaks that are made in between new ROMs? I'd be much obliged with this addition.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
They are listed in the second post of the Kuban forum. I thought about listing them here but it seemed redundant.

You're right, I thought RU had taken on a different nom de plume. I'm going to repost my query on his ROM thread. I really think it would be very useful to have it in the updater as well. Since it's already in there at the point there is an update, why not keep it there?

They're both super fast and great with battery life but i will say the Blu Kuban handles NOVA 3 like no other. Even better than Frankenstein's FIF02 which blew me away with its no lag.

Noob

Hello All,

I am a noob at rooting and flashing ROMs. Just wanted to ask a few questions before I start with the process. My E4GT is stock and currently on FF18 ICS.

1. Root via QBKing77 youtube video for FF18 ICS

2. Download The Blu Kuban 1.0.4.4 and Format All X2

3. Place these files in the root directory of the internal storage

4. Boot to CUSTOM recovery (do I have a custom recovery or do I need to download one since my phone is stock? What is NANDROID backup and does it play a part in the custom recovery?)

5. Is the latest The Blu Kuban 1.0.4.4 meant for a GB or ICS recovery?

The other steps in your FAQ seem self explanatory.

Whats confusing me is following QBKing77's older install of Blu Kuban on the GB recovery and trying to correlate it with the current FAQ.

Appreciate the help. You guys do exceptional work. :good:

dt34
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
0)Download The Blu Kuban 1.0.4.4 MD5-dbcc79d4b917f30e0cc28ba24ae11baa. Copy it over to your external SD card.

1)Root the phone using the auto root package found here.

[ROOT][NCIQ][EG30/EG31/EK02] Auto root your existing stock ROM (w/o ODIN/ROM Flash)

2)Install CWM recovery EL26 using same auto root package linked in step 1.

3)Boot to recovery and go to "Backup and restore".

4)Make a nandroid.

5)While in recovery, follow the steps in OP of

[ROM] [TeaM VeNuM] RUJELUS22 The Blu Kuban FF18 (Kuban Kernel) (Updated 7-31-12)

You are done!

We use GB recovery to flash ICS roms thats why you install EL26 CWM and then flash the Kuban Rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
You will indeed need a custom recovery. You can get one here. xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 this will be done after the root process. I believe qbking had this step in the video. The nauseous is a complete backup of your system. DO THIS. In custom recovery choose backup.this will take a while. It doesn't matter if you are on GB or ics to start, either will work. You will end up on ics after install of the Kuban is complete.

At random, my capacitive buttons become unresponsive for about 5 seconds. While this is happening, it seems as if the OS is automatically pushing the menu and search buttons in quick succession. I have haptic feedback turned on and when this happens, the phone vibrates multiple times.

I have tried wiping cache and dalvik cache multiple times and this did not fix the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
There have been multiple threads posted about that in Q&A. I believe it's a hardware issue. I would check there first, I've never seen anyone post this on relation to Kuban. I've seen it listed as ghost menu bug and phantom menu click.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoNRG:
Thanks, I was centering searches around "capacitive buttons" and received no helpful hits. Tried it again with "ghost menu" and got lots of info. It seems to be hardware related, not ROM related. It did not happen to me on EL29 GB, so I thought Blu Kuban was the culprit. It is ICS related, though (any version).

The ROM has Google voice included. Your problems are with the default settings of Google voice, but they can't be changed in the app. You will need to visit Google.com/voice and go into settings. There is an option for call screening you will need to turn off. Also another setting for delivering to your inbox will need turned off.

All in all, this a very awesome ROM. I came from an HTC EVO 4g running Swagged Out Stock and this is the only ROM that comes close to SoS. I would say that TBK is actually better than SoS.
