Boost GS2 problem with AOSP Alpha5 ROM

So, last night I got my Boost Mobile Galaxy S2, which I understand is the same as the Sprint Epic Touch. I tried installing the Alpha 5 ROM via AGAT Recovery and got an error;

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "epic4gtouch" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "epic4gtouch" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "SPH-D710" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SPH-D710" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d710" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d710"

Then installation aborted. :(

I'm assuming it's a mismatch between what my boost phone is calling it's self and what's in the ROM, which is designed for the Sprint version.

If that's the case, could anyone offer me any guidance on how I might go about editing the ROM, or the phone, so they match?

Thanks in advance.

You should use el26 instead of agat I'm on boost also and know that this works flawless el 26 IMO its the safest to flash with

This Transmission Has Been Sent From The Bat Cave
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] citizens:
Hmmm. I tried using StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 and got the same error. I also couldn't boot (maybe the kernel isn't compatible with stock Boost ICS ?) so I'm back to AGAT now. Was your phone originally a sprint phone?

I'm pretty sure when it's checking for "SPH-D710" it's seeing "SPH-D710-BST", and that's one of the three props causing the issue. I'm just not sure where to go to change that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SASQUATCH:
If your on ics rom and flash el26 via mobile odin it will not bkot its normal just hold volume up and power to go into recovery mode.then wipe,flash rom then gapps and your good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] citizens:
So, I found a program called 'build.prop Editor' and my phone does indeed have SPH-D710BST under ro.build.product. I'm going to look for other discrepencies. This is probably also what's keeping mobile odin from working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gargox:
I just flashed this ROM and it looks pretty sweet. I did a battery recalibrate and can't wait to see how long that bat lasts. Looking forward to the next update. Amazing job.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theguz4l:
This ROM has been quiet lately... maybe it is approaching beta :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noahsarky:
I am getting LOS still and poor battery life? Is anyone else on the same boat?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vengefulraven:
I'm getting LOS still, it seems to be best for me on the FF18 modem, it occurs but not as frequently as other modems I've used. Battery life is okay for me but the LOS is probably a good cause for battery drain if it happens frequently
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
I never had LOS yet and my battery life is better or on par with GB. I am perfectly happy to me it is at RC stage :) It runs much better than Blazer GB did for me and much better than ICS AOKP. I am really happy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rehpot1:
This is with all my daily driver apps and no power management tweaks or display tweaks. Screen on time cuts into the battery life considerably. Standby time is absolutely incredible for me. I also leave mobile settings alone and turn off led notifications. Took a few days to settle in after updating prl and profile, locking GPS before A5 JB flash. Sync off unless I need it, Wi-Fi of unless using it. I love this freakin ROM. THANKS SB!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] citizens:
That fixed the problem. I was able to flash the ROM using AGAT recovery. Got gapps installed. MMS works fine (I was worried I would have to change a setting to Boost servers from Sprint but I didn't need to).

:laugh:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noahsarky:
what modem are you using sir?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
battery question...

has anyone else notice that the battery charges at a extremely fast rate. I was at 18% plugged it in to charge 15 min later it read 80%....

very odd and this goes with the constant increase in battery throughout the day. No charging , but there are little spikes where the battery goes up on the battery chart and I even see this in % sometimes. I'll use the phone and it'll be 20% put it down and pick it up 10 min later and it'll say 22%...

what is all that about?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
Go to market dload supersu. Open supersu, allow all the su prompts u see, disable su and re-enable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gargox:
So far I'm loving this ROM. The only issue I've seen so far (and maybe it's just me) is that my gps isn't working right. When I open up maps and the gps circle shows up on the upper left task bar, it doesn't have the flashing dot like it is looking for a signal. And maps will only locate me by cell towers. Anyone else have this problem or a fix? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] heaphu:
Yeah, you have to get a GPS lock before flashing. I had this problem, and I flashed back to stock FF18, got a GPS lock, then rebooted into recovery and flashed this rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btrcp2000:
put your battery on a flat surface and spin it. if it spins, take it to sprint, they will (probably) give you a new one, they did for me. stopped the weird charging reports, but i still can't get more than 3-4 hours out of this phone, have tried every tweak i can find
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
You obviously have some sort of issue. I easily get 20 hours on my 1500 mah battery every charge. Your phone must not be deep sleeping or your CPU is running hot all the time. Have you checked your CPU behavior and did you check your phone deep sleep times?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KING400D:
I'm having the issue where my music on the sdcard doesn't shows up on my music player ..What was the fix for this? installed 4 times....worked once with the music,everything else ok no Los.......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gargox:
Thank you so much, worked like a charm.

And to pat myself on the back, I had to reinstall agat 2.2 in order to restore a nandroid backup to my last ROM to get the lock and then flash back to this ROM and I managed to not brick my phone or anything like that.

@QBKing77: Thank you for always reminding us to make a nandroid backup and always saying that you have to use the same recovery to restore in all your install videos.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neodorian:
Ran into the weirdest bug last night. I was scrolling through all of my old videos and photos in the default gallery app. Every time I hit "play" on a video, the LED flash would go off for a second. I have no idea why it was dong this but it made me laugh for some reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
nope no helicopter battery.

So weird as I went back to my old rom and no issues so it is something in this rom.

Also received and MMS and clicked on the picture and all it does is flash by really fast.... I could not even save my pics....is there another MMS app I can get other then the ones on the playstore that are loaded with ads...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saleen237:
I'm running build 091412-1. Guess u just got to know where to look..... think smart not harder. By the way the only issues I've seen so far is the sub menus popping up and going away back and forth which has been a issue since I've started flashing ROMs but heard its a hardware issue with the phone through research. Other than that when using music player it seems to have a slight skip when I press the home button after the screen times out to get back on the phone but not sure if its ROM related and really doesn't bother me since it only does it every so often but other than that. ROM has been working just as good as 090712 build did so thanks SBRISSEN for making this possible! I'll give more feedback over the weekend
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmfeny:
have you noticed any LOS yet... it might be too early to tell

OH YEAH, i am sorry i forgot to mention but if this makes a difference my et4g is flashed to boost mobile

i forgot to mention that to another guy i posted in a thread and he gave me instructions how to fix it but it didnt and at the same time i ended up losing my flash to boost and yea it was kinda stressful so i prefer not to go thru that again.. Thank you all for your time.

BUMP....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrlswltrs:
I didn't have any LOS with alpha 5. So far the test build is pretty bad compared to Alpha 5. The biggest problem I had with alpha 5 was the camera, but a 3rd party camera app solved that.

On the test build in have dropped 40% of my battery in a little over 30 min. I haven't noticed anything is improved... Am I missing something?

I love this rom. Great work. My only problem is that when ever i send a picture message it just says sending and it never goes through? Is the a fix for this? Runing 9-14 btw.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phpracing:
alright, well the last couple of days the play store has been telling me some apps are not compatable with my device. (mainly battle.net auth.) is there a way around this? i have searched this forum for it but i dont think i was putting in the right keywords in, or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] isaac2k10:
if you changed your dpi, change it back to 240, if not might not be compat. anymore
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2phonejones:
noob question lol, how did you change to 190 dpi?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phpracing:
ohh yeah that makes sense. thank you. okay so heres another question, how could i get my dpi down lower than 200 and have the lockscreen centered still?

okay well i have changed my dpi and i still was not able to download battle.net auth. im thinkin that the app isnt campatable with JB
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
change DPI to 240. reboot. clear the play store data and cache. open play store and accept. in about 10-15 min it should work.

RE: Music player issues I got fixed

Just wanted to post my updated thoughts and issues to remedy media issues. I still have media storage disabled after startup via Autostarts. I don't know what caused it but I started having an issue with playing my audio files from SD card finally even with my MIUI player. I have tried some other players including Winamp no luck. Then I downloaded Poweramp went into settings/folders and library > Music Folders and selected all my music folders all over my device and now Poweramp picks up all my desired music!!! I am so happy. I am really impressed with Poweramp and will buy it once trial runs out. It really evolved a lot since last time I have used it. I highly recommend it now over any other music player. I don't recommend MIUI player anymore it doesn't pick up all my files. Poweramp is a lot more powerful with tons of neat features.

Now on another note... I temporarily went back to 240dpi to update my apps and download Poweramp. I am running this ROM at 190dpi and it's super slick. Amazing look. It really should have been set to 190dpi from day one. 240dpi looks like crap on this phone. I don't wear bifocals and don't have any need for everything zoomed in out of proportion.

Does anyone have a solid fix for DPI issues with play store?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dd323:
My phone randomly restarted while watching a YouTube video has anyone else experience this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saleen237:
Decided to do an update. ROM seems to be running very well. The only issue I have is the volume for things such as music. Its the settings I noticed that for some reason the volume turned down maxes out halfway turned up and the rest of the bar is useless cause the volume stays the same halfway or maxed out. Other than that I've had little glitches but don't believe to be ROM related. But I'm happy otherwise so keeping this as my DD unless another build comes across. Thanks sbrissen again for making it possible and your hard work

I've got my e4gt fully-flashed to cricket and i had to flash an mms-fix zip to get mms working also. I don't know exactly what is in the zip you flashed, but on mine, the actual messaging apk gets replaced with one modified to work on cricket. The modified apk isn't able to split 160+ messages or even convert to mms... in this case, the person receiving the message will just get a bunch of nonsense numbers/letters instead of the original message. One work-around I've used (but don't really like, to be honest) is installing a third-party sms app that has that "splitting" option (go, handcent, etc...)

I wish I knew how to modify apk's to work... one day I'll get there. Hope this helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
Splitting outgoing messages is not that big deal when you use gosms or the like. You see that you approach 160 characters you click send but the bigger issue is receiving long messages coming in all symbols instead of letters. This part is the most annoying part since at that point you have to tell the sender to split the message for you or summarize it in 160 characters. This is the biggest pain in the butt. There has to be some kind of fix. I don't think I always had this issue. Matter of fact I don't recall having this issue on EVO but I could be wrong. It's been a while.

I don't know if it's an option, and it won't solve sending pictures through text issues, but Google voice always works for me when the stock messaging won't. I'm on the fringe of coverage, but have a sprint airave to boost the signal in my house. It causes messaging problems though with stock messaging applications. My wife has HTC EVO and kids sprint phones, same problem since we got the airave. Most of the time it works fine though.
