I couldn't agree more. While some themes look great, many go to far. I would always choose stock android first when I can. Giving people a way to change it a little more their personal liking by way of mods is the best way imo. Keeps everyone happy.

You could use an app like adaway and restore default host files, add hulu plus as an exception and then block ads again.

MIne has been crashing, too, especially when I switch through accounts. But, no complaints, also just reporting.

UPDATE: Since installing the gmail update this morning, my phone is also a little warmer than normal (doing nothing but sitting on the charger) and it's taking longer to charge than normal. Not a very scientific contribution to the group, but just wanted to let you know.

Has anyone (with problems) tried removing their accounts, wiping data and cache for the app yet, then adding the accounts back? I know its a pain but sometimes the data doesn't play nice when a version gets manually updated like we just did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lagallinavecchia:
I'll give it try.

*edit* OK done... so far so good =)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
I just installed this ROM coming from Calk GB...

installed the test tweaks from tdunham and update version 2.2

everything is stable.. new Gmail with 4 accounts work awesome with no real problem or crash

if you have a crashing problem you have an app or a left over from another app or gmail app itself that is causing issues..

perhaps empty the cache

the battery life is awesome.. really better than the GB calk, I expected it to be worst since it is ICS

my wifes phone has ICS blazer and I believe this ROM is better now, more stable and better battery...

Thank you guys for working on this .. hope you dont stop till there is 4G sprint network all over and we are ready to use an actual LTD 4G phone... at this point most people cant benefit from Galaxy s3 yet, at least the S2 has the wimax 4G in some areas

Again Thank you

Re-Calked Battery Bar

Re-Calked Battery Bar Mod

(This mod is already included in Re-Calk 2.2)

This is a pretty cool mod that will most likely make it into the next update but here it is separately so you can play with it too.

Completely customizable. A new app has been added (shown below) with charging animations, height adjustments, color settings, battery level settings and more. Use the app to enable the battery bar.

There are two choices:

Battery Bar for Extended Toggles (only use if you installed extended toggles)

or

Battery Bar Stock (for everything else)

Credits to PvyMods for this. You can hit his site right from the app.

The complete Mods/Addons section is here: Mods/Addons Link

AOSP Lockscreen for MMS doesn't seem to like me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I installed it, reboot, and my stock messaging app just disappears. Click the App and it says its not installed, try to use it from unlock screen and it locks up the phone, have to pull the battery.

I restored the App through Titanium, app all works correctly but from the lock screen it still locks up the phone.

Am I doing it wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Well, I guess that depends on what you have installed.

Are you running Calk 2.1 or 2.2 and did you install the 2.1 or 2.2 Aosp swipe addon?

The 2.1 is at the very bottom of the post, the 2.2 version (if you installed the 2.2 update) is with the screenshot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaveVQ:
Just upgraded to your 2.2 and I had reinstalled the AOSP lockscreen with the newer files for 2.2 (screenshot links) then did the MMS addon. I just tried again and still getting the issue.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
I've been running the 2.2 update for a few days now, in conjunction with agats 6.5. Not complaining but I've definitely noticed a drop in battery life. I'm getting good screen time life but lots more pocket drain it feels. On 2.1 I was getting a day and a half easily with 2-4 hours screen time depending on what I was doing. I'm also running the test tweaks tdunham posted. Just sharing my results, still a rock solid daily drivers. Also noticed the screen goes black sometimes when switching from landscape to portrait while texting. Not sure if this has anything to do with the changes you made, tdunham. Phone is sleeping fine, and I only get a few instances of the lag/freezing lately. Let me know if I can provide any other info that might help out with future development. As always, I'll keep checking in! Thanks again for the solid ROM and solid work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NewYorkLaw:
Thanks for this!

Pete
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That goes to show you that newer isn't always better.

I'm referring to the Agat kernel. If you choose to, you can always flash back to the Calk 2.1 tweaks but you also have to flash Agat's 0.5.4 kernel because from 0.6.x kernel, the conservative governor was removed and that's what the 2.1 tweak runs on. Don't know about the screen rotation since I never leave mine enabled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
Fair enough, I may flash back to 2.1 and make a nandroid backup (for some reason mine are corrupted or something so I'm stuck on the 2.2 update). I'd still like to test out whatever you come out with though, so restoring back to 2.1 would be a good option if you come out with anything to be kicked around. Appreciate it, boss.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think you misunderstood. You can install just the tweaks from 2.1 from the tweaks section but you still need to flash Agat's 0.5.4 kernel to go with them too.

Edit: I will be posting the stock 2.2 tweaks too in that section once it's official.

Update: It looks like the Kuban kernel still has conservative governor also. So flashing to that kernel + 2.1 stock tweaks will work too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smartguy10:
So what i am hearing is that the new version needs some tweaking for battey life
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The 2.2 Rev3 Update has the tweaks built in now btw.

Any other views on battery life? I'm not dropping the 2.2 final this weekend unless I'm sure its working ok. I reboot too much to be able to accurately guage battery. I know the way it is, it sleeps really well.

And one user comment isn't going to convince me. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaveVQ:
Aside from my other issue with the Lockscreen. This update to 2.2 has helped my phone tremendously. My current flash is going on about 2 months now (shocker I know), the 2.1 and Agat Kernels, I was having small performance glitches (lag to slide lock, lag to load, wake lag), now with this 2.2 and agat's 6.8, my battery is at 88% having left the charger at 8 this morning and the performance lags are gone. I give this a :thumbsup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Sorry to sound picky, but could we get a mod to disable Lockscreen Rotation? I find it more annoying than useful. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smartguy10:
So i have to install .2.1 version first and then upgrade to .2.2 just wanted to be sure ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

The full version will be out this weekend. The update is installed as an upgrade to 2.1. So that needs to be installed first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geeksmurf:
I've not given this a go yet but it's the plan for the weekend. Guess I'll wait for the full 2.2 as looks like that is coming. Anyway... Does this have the disabled notification sounds when on a phone call? Like the old GB build? If so is there a way to turn that back on? Yes I know I am odd but sometimes you just need to get that msg... lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yeah, not a fan of that one either. You can find the removal tool for that at the bottom of the update post. This mod will not be in the final release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
Anyone got hold back to kill working? Also not sure if wallpaper scrolling is issue with the ROM or my launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Did you flash the 2.2 update? It was included in there.

Wallpaper scrolling is only supported by the launcher. Stock launcher does not support it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NewYorkLaw:
Again, some non-scientific observations.

I switch back & forth from the charger on my desk and keeping the phone in my phone in my pocket most of my 10- hour work day. It checks 4 gmail accounts, but only 2 of them get any email. I frequently check my calendar and check emails on the phone throughout the day, but don't type or send replies or create calendar entries from the phone - I am always near a desktop computer for that. I do not play games, I do not text, and I do not use the phone (during a typical work day) for anything else.

WIth the addition of the last update to 2.2, the phone is noticeably warmer in my pocket. I can only go about 6 hours before I need to charge it (at 25 to 30 percent, I get nervous). I used to get closer to 8 or 10 occasionally. The charges take much longer, and the phone is warmer while charging.

In the morning, before I go to work, I run 2 or 3 miles outside. I use cardio trainer (a gps tracker) while streaming pandora. My run is usually 22 to 28 minutes long, and starting with 100% battery, used to leave me with about 90% when I was done. I now find myself with about 80% left, and then when I get to the office an hour later, I'm down to 70 where it used to be about 80.

NOT COMPLAINING, I have a charger with me at all times, just trying to help with observations because you asked.

THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DO!!

Pete
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yeah Pete, this brings back memories from when I used to run GB where some of the kernels just didn't play well with different phones.

I think we'll try going back to what worked with Agat's 0.5.4 kernel. I'm not sure to blame it on the kernel or something else but that seems to be the common denominator. Attached is the 0.5.4 kernel.

Edit: For those of you running the 2.2 update, please flash back to 0.5.4, run it for a while and report in. Tnx - TD

Read this thread a couple post back.

(this weekend maybe)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
I hate to draw conclusions w/out good data, but it SEEMS like the battery is draining at a higher rate. I've also been getting some random re-boots (more than normal), and the insult added to injury is that half the re-boots result in a 'new' battery life reading that's 30% or more lower than it was prior to the re-boot (a known, but terribly annoying Android issue). So it's really been tough for me to actually gauge whether battery's really worse.

I'll flash 0.5.4 and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Don't sweat it, we're going back to what works. The newer kernel thing just isn't working for me. And the 2.1 tweaks are going back in too.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Just hold down a second or two more, it works.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

I stayed with Agat's 0.5.4 and conservative governor. It gives the best combination of battery and performance. I couldn't get the same performance with any of his 0.6.x kernels. If anyone chooses to flash to any other kernel, they're on their own cuz the tweaks won't work and they'll have to use a third party tweak utility to manage things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NewYorkLaw:
I flashed the final, but I should probably have left well enough alone.. The update yesterday went smoothly, but now Gmail and the play store keep crashing. I reinstalled the Gmail update, but it doesn't matter.

Oh well. Phone is very cool to the touch today, that's nice!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
Td, have you tried the tweaks with Sleshepic's kernel, the Governors? Should I give it a try?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
what tweaks are we talking about? If they're init d scripts etc they should be fine. If they're extweaks, I don't have that built in to my kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
I'm talking about the placebo tweaks which are init.d tweaks. It's nice to know that your Kernel supports init.d:D since I heard some don't. I will try to see if the tweaks calls the conservative gov and deadline shed correctly on boot because some other kernels do not do this properly, I guess because of all the tweaking done. In your thread, Slesh, I believe I once read that you only modified the wifi scan interval to 180, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
Hey NYLaw,

I had a similar problem recently. What worked for me was to go to settings > accounts and delete your Gmail account. Restart your phone and re-add your Gmail account.

Good luck, I hope that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
yeah, I guess that might be an issue then if your trying to get the conservative gov and deadline, not sure how the scripts call on things. but it should run fine. I have a tweaked pegasusq governor set as default, but I also tweaked the conservative governors source a bit to gokhan's values, so either way you should see some nice performance/battery whether it works or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Just to be safe, look in the tweaks and make sure that they sleep for about 20 seconds before they're applied. A lot of things will go to default if that's not the case. If its at 20 then try 25 or so. Had this issue with a few custom unit.d scripts I made.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The tweaks built into this rom should work with both the Sleshepic & Kuban kernels, but not with any of the newer 0.6.x Agat kernels.

Agat 0.5.4 kernel is what flashes with this Rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smartguy10:
Flashed the 2.2 version great rom. Only issue I noticed so far is the wheather doesn't update on the lock screen , I get a message "unable to display wheather data". Tested gps and maps they work fine ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It relies on the accuweather app. I can't remember exactly but create the widget somewhere, setup your location, then delete the widget maybe?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
Seeing the same battery life I was used to with 2.1 after flashing the 2.2 final and back on agats 5.4 kernel. Must have been the newer kernel not getting along with the ROM / my phone. Should get a solid battery cycle in today, I'll report back with some screen shots if I can! Thanks again for all the hard work.

Also, I really hate to ask for stuff, but is the zip to disable the lock screen rotation up anywhere? It's not the end of the world but I'd really like to get rid of that if possible.

Lockscreen rotation was removed from final build and also rev4 update.
