I'm enjoying the ROM, 4G works better than ever, it's smooth 'n' fast and I'm falling in love with Jelly Bean.

But... I'm not really sure how some of the users are able to get 2+ hours of screen time on this ROM. I can't get it running with even 20 minutes screen time before it begins to hover around 6% on a little more than 4 hours.

I've attempted to undervolt the thing by 25, it hasn't made much of a different. Underclocking to 1000mhz led to lockups so I'm back on 1200mhz.

I'm not sure if the Battery problems is tied to Jelly Bean, it seems to be substantially worse than the AKOP I had for ICS. The Rom runs better, but its battery life is unbearable.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EpikMcWin:
Am I the only one who notices this...

Is it just me does everybody get this: It seems that the rom requires much longer finger drags to register sliding between pages on the launcher. For example series of quick drags between pages on the launcher and apps drawer will sometimes result in not actually switching to the next page. :(

Video of what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn6C2MvUOL4

Other than this and a few battery life issues(which isn't just the rom's fault) this is awesome! :D

talking to Samsung owners and comparing the Galaxy S line to anything iPhone related it always a bad idea everywhere... We consider all iPhone users trolls until proven innocent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
It would appear that the pages are moving when you "flick" the screen, but you are just not moving your finger quite far enough. I'd say maybe try to add another 1/5th of a second and make the drag ~.5" longer and you should be golden. Since its present in jelly bean (and ice cream sandwich), I'd say it probably isn't a bug. It is probably this way to prevent accidental page turning. Just my two cents.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sugewhite:
Wipe everything and do a fresh install?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bronxct1:
Loved this rom but went back to stock for a bit because i was getting sudden battery deaths. I've ordered a new battery though since it is also happening on stock. The reason I have not already flashed back is because I'm loving the 4g speeds on stock. In NYC I am getting 12mbps down while with this rom i was seeing .400 mbps. I have tried changing modems and fresh installs but nothing has helped. Is there any update on the progress of a fix? I really really want to flash back as soon as I can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EpikMcWin:
re

That's what I initially thought, but I've used a galaxy nexus before and that level of flick is just enough to make it move. It just feels a little bit off thats all...:cool:

Ok, after some attempts to fix on my own, i am at a loss. I updated my wife's phone from Blazer's to this one. Everything is working ok except my wife is unable to pull in any mobile data. it's not a location issue because i have the same phone and am fine. i updated to the FI27 modem but that did not help. i can't even get a server on speedtest.net. i suppose i could try and reload the rom to see if something got borked. wifi works fine btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
Go back to el29 to get gps lock, and update prl and profile. Then re flash.

i did that to begin with, i just forgot to mention it. i also did it again and restarted over. 3g is now working, albeit very slowly. i will keep an eye on it. thanks.

How is this ROM as far a battery life, data speeds, and bugs.

I just flashed to FI30 from CM10 due to the very poor battery life.

I understand it is a JB related issue but I was wondering if how people's experience was on this ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wingchun222:
This rom has given me the best battery life of all the jb roms.

How do we get rid of the calendar that came with the rom since google updated a stand alone calendar in the market? I downloaded the new one and I have two now

The one that was released to the Market is the same one that comes w/ the ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:
Looking forward to this with the updated kernel source files for JB. Alpha six runs pretty good, great work thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patach:
How much better is "best battery life"? I've been searching through this thread detailing how much better the battery life is to other roms, including detailing the 2-4 hours of screen time and stuff like that.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but as soon as I use 20-30 minutes of screen time on this thing, it's guaranteed that the phone will die within 3-4 hours.

Other than that, it's a great rom, it's just that I can hardly do anything with it for an entire day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Are you running any tweaks ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patach:
I have tried undervolting, by 25. I tried underclocking to 1000mhz, but the system would constantly lock up.

So far, with or without tweaks,I hardly see much improvement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sugewhite:
When upgrading to alpha 6 do I need to do a clean wipe and start fresh? Thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
You can get by with wiping cache /dalvivk cache and flashing the ROM but if you run into any problems after the install a full wipe is recommended and needed

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] princebabyeater:
im with you on that, i can get maybe 2 hours out of it, i just went to the store for 30minutes, and my battery drops to 65% with no use and just being in my pocket. if i even dream about using it for anything i can get 45 minutes of use
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
I get 12/13 hrs of moderate/normal use. (Phone, txt, wifi hotspot, fb, pandora, lots of browsing, ect.) My tweaks include

Undervolt -25 all voltages

800/200 set cpu on screen

1000/200 - for demanding games

500/200 set cpu off screen

CPU sleeper dual core from market

Back lights off

I also have memory free in rom tool box set to "aggresive"

Also make sure to let your battery die between charges it really helps the rom learn your battery well.

This rom is the smoothest and battery reliant with these tweaks

Thanks again for this sick rom sbrissen!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zen Monkey:
Hi guys,

Long time reader, first time poster-

Anyways, yesterday afternoon my phone began rebooting randomly and not-so-randomly. It seems to reboot more often when I touch an action on the screen or when something is loading after touching an action. And then just rebooting any ol' time it feels like it. Consistently it does this. It's quite frustrating, actually.

My first thought was to format/wipe/flash but, I don't have the ROM on the SD card for space reasons- I've always just transferred whatever ROM over to the SD card when I was going to flash. Which isn't normally a problem- except that whenever I go into USB debugging mode and try to turn on storage it reboots.

I did copy the files over to the external SD through Airdroid but when I go into CWM recovery, it says that it can't mount the SD.

So- next thought was to try and restore system data. Except that like an idiot when it first started doing this I made a backup of all apps and data with Titanium Backup aaaaand I'll just be restoring the same old s***. Don't ask me why I did that- it seemed perfectly logical at the time after but two hours' sleep.

Any ideas? I'm scratching me head over here. I'm thinking I might just try and unroot and take it to Best Buy and use my fancy warranty to get a new phone without all the dings and scratches in it and start over.

[Edit]

I should note that I didn't install anything or change any settings immediately before it started doing this. I did pull some ripped apk's off of a torrent and installed some of them, but that was days before. [Edit]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
Wipe cache and dalvik. If that doesn't work, throw the rom in dropbox and export it to your internal download folder from the app. Hopefully it won't reboot until you finish ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zen Monkey:
Thanks for the help wraith, but wiping the cache's didn't work. It DID make it better, though. So that's a plus!

Big sigh.

And I tried formatting the SD card from the phone via instructions I found in another thread and I hit the "Erase SD Card" because that was supposed to allow me to then format it...

And now half the tree is missing.

I'm an idiot. I should have just unrooted and started over lol :eek:

So, after I finish this project for work, I'm going to look into that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
Have you tried using a different recovery like el26?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zen Monkey:
No, I have not tried that.

I will if the answer to the question I'm about to ask goes that way.

I was able to turn on storage when connected via USB and I transferred over the ROM and Gapps. When I reboot into recovery, CWM still says "E: Can't mound /sdcard/ " when I choose to apply zip from external SD.

If I go to "choose zip from sdcard" however, those two files are there.

This might be a really dumb question- but if I wipe/factory reset- will those two files be there, still?

And thanks again for the help, guys. I really appreciate it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
If the files are on your external sd card yes they will still be there. If the files are in your local sd card download folder yes they will still be there.. you can wipe factory reset all you want. the files should be there as long as you dont "format system" or "format sd card" from the recovery consol you should be good. I am refering to a different menu in consol (forgot the name) were it gives you options to format sd and system. (If you see these fields dont run them). However wiping data/cache/dalvik/ doesnt touch the folders/directories i am refering to. (local and external sdcard). Sorry if this sounds confusing

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

For install i do this.

Mobil odin el26 recovery

Reboot and boot into el26 recovery

Wipe data/cache/dalvik

Run calks wipe all

Go to your rom source and install

Go to your gapps source and install

(If you dont have a modem to install just reboot and enioy)

If you have a modem to install

After installation of gapps - wipe cache and dalvik

Go to your modem of choice and install

Then reboot and enjoy.

I always flash from el26 but thats just me. Good luck and hope to see you enjoying this amazing rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zen Monkey:
Thanks for the directions! And thanks for the clarification on what a factory reset and wipe would do. That made me feel a lot better about fixing this.

Unfortunately, it just did it's reboot again.

I'm going to try and pull the log files and give them to Sbrissen to look at. This is a solid ROM and the first trouble I've had with it, aside from some MMS tardiness.

So, I'm going to unroot, take it back to Best Buy and get my money's worth out of that warranty! haha

You guys are great! Again, thanks for the help :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
I would recommend Odining stock EL26, installing CWM using the auto-root package, and then flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Not sure I understand the question (if that's what it is) about FF18. I'm using the FF18 modem with no problems so go for it. If you're asking whether you can install the FF18 zip file from the recovery included with this JB ROM then the answer is yes, the only time you need to worry about any recovery is if you're wiping data or cache or dalvik.

I've been without LOS since I flashed this ROM something like 9 hours ago. Since then I've been in and out of wifi coverage both at work and at home and have not had any service issues.

I did notice that my Enhanced Email settings kept lost during reboots. Apparently that's an issue with the latest Play Store (not this ROM) where it installs paid apps to /mnt/asec--which either gets unmounted too soon during shutdown, or mounted to late during startup, causing the package manager to assume it's safe to delete the account settings. I found a good workaround was to use ES Explorer, navigate to the /mnt/asec/<package_name> directory and copy the pkg.apk somewhere else (sdcard in my case). Then click on that .apk and tell it to install. This side loads the app, and my account settings persist across reboots now. Did the same thing with my Calendar Event Reminder and it now keeps its settings too.

^^ This is important for folks to note. It is a real PITA otherwise.^^

Nice work, team sbrissen! I'm gonna try to use this as my DD. Only thing I'm missing is audio over bluetooth (oh the horror! Just kidding of course, I'm well-prepared with wires!)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
So Sbrissen, Jerdog was explaining the other day the LOS issue is not kernel related (mostly), and that it's hardware with the radio, and software interference between an ICS based modem and Jellybean OS.

You have in your OP that it IS Kernel related, how do you know that?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
so glad to see the speedy progress.

thanks for the crazy awesome work Scott. :D

has anyone heard of any sort of workaround (besides the obvious, wires) to streaming Bluetooth media audio to wireless headset?

I mean is there an app or fix? is there going to be an update? I find it crazy that such a huge feature was simply left out. that is the general consensus right? I tried Googling more info but couldn't manage to find anything specific.

as weird as it sounds this is a deal breaker for me as far as a daily driver. I have my reasons.. :p

pardon me if this doesn't exactly fit in this thread. I felt it pertinent.

Also, and I understand this is alpha so I'm not complaining, but CPU Spy says the phone never enters the deep sleep state.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
para jellybean rom mejor volves a el26 recovery para seguridad.

para modems no importa, puedes con todo recoveries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I could buy that theory, if EG30 didn't have LOS, which was a GB ROM, with a GB modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thewadegeek:
Also US Cellular users don't appear to be having LOS when running Jellybean on a Gingerbread modem...Ok could someone flash a Gingerbread modem of your guy's and see if you still have LOS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
That wouldn't exactly make the kernel the issue though. That would mean we would need our own source or a modem compatible with Jellybean. I'm not saying it's true, I was just wanting to know how Sbrissen is tracking it down in the kernel to fix it to clear up my confusion over the matter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Los is caused by kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jahrule:
Hasen't kernel source dropped for ICS?

Your opinion, do you think this ROM will go to beta? one more question, when updates of the ROM are out like alpha7 or whatever, do i just wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash? becuase i was hoping i just could just wipe cache, delvik cache, then flash without factory reseting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] indyvette:
Yes, but its better to factory reset, especially if the update is significant in any way
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] milky1112:
I agree here. Its always safer to factory wipe when installing stuff. "dirty"flashing can sometimes lead to bugs that most others arent seeing. Just backup apps and reinstall. Again this is just my opinion.
