Thanks and ya the battery is awesome! That's one of the reasons I initially followed Calkulin was the battery life on top of how stable his always was. Sooo grateful td and vanberge continued on with his work. Yeah, Bluetooth share is one of the things I delete right away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yeah I frickin hate the camera. Here is a tweak that you can try. Not mine but let me know what you think. It should put a little zip into the phone but I haven't been using it long enough to say how it is on battery.

If you want to go back to stock, you'll have to hit up the mods/addons section for the tweaks area.

Edit: This tweak doesn't kick in for a minute or two after bootup. Since this is a little experimental, please verify the governor that is running is PegasusQ with an app like Rom Toolbox to ensure it is running properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Will try it and let you know how it goes, thanks td! I like how they called it placebo, lmao. What camera app are you using out of curiosity?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Umm, the stock one. The ICS camera from the play store is pretty nice too.

My camera opens almost instantly with this tweak btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
Two things, sorry if its been asked(I'm sure it has :o )

1) When i try to change my lockscreen wallpaper, it says "file jpeg not found" what gives?? using the standard ones that come with it..too boring for me lol

2) are there any "whole" themes for this ROM? Biggest thing I miss about CM9 ROMs...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
2)-nope, no other themes for this rom..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
I used to use the ICS camera from the store but when we were getting all those leaks before ICS officially came out it didn't always play nice. That's why I just switched back to the stock and stayed there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
And its not just this ROM. There just really aren't hardly any good themes out there for ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
I agree.. Unless the theming is done "in house"

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
I use nova launcher and change the icons that's the simple way. At least they can be themed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I've never heard of any issues with changing wallpapers.

settings/display/Home screen wallpaper, gallery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
I have issues changing lock screen wallpapers when using a third party app (or at least with QuickPic) to choose the wallpaper. When I use the stock gallery there are no issues. Had to clear defaults on QuickPic to get it working properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
Ditto. My lock screen wallpaper changed fine.

Any word from folks on the newer placebo tweak?

EDIT: Also, out of curiosity, why doesn't this ROM show up as compatible in goo.im?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'm not sure what this is. What does it mean?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigblue4life:
Reporting back, well let me just say I have not charged since yesterday. Been running 24 hrs with 49% left:) That being said it seems all is well. Thanks for a great rom.

Curious too. My phone flies with that tweak but it is more of a performance tweak than anything so we'll have to wait and see for battery.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

So what happened with the wifi issue you said you were having?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigblue4life:
I am not sure at all but it happened that one time but that was only my first cycle also so I must practice more patience and thank you more for all your work.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ahh. Yeah, I see a lot of users that have zero patience. Try something for 5 minutes then they're on to something else. (I have some magic beans for sale if anyone is interested :eek:)

There are a lot of quirks about ICS roms in general that we have to live with so I was wondering about the wifi thing. I've been seeing a number of users with wifi issues in general, not necessarily battery related but I thought I'd check.

Overall, this ROM is pretty troublefree. Unlike some other roms, you won't find 20-30 pages of problems trying to get resolved every time a new release comes along :p.

Tnx - TD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You can host rom there. It is device specific. So let's say if we had goo manager from play store on our phones and this ROM was on goo.im users can download it and I believe it can also update like ota.

True that.

Hey all,

I'm having a couple of odd problems here and I was hoping someone could help.

First and foremost, I can't seem to capture a logcat anymore by app (at least with the alogcat and CatLog apps). It shows nothing in the app and when I hit save it's just a blank txt file. Haven't tried through adb, I will when I get home later, though. I need to find out how.

Secondly, my phone seem to keep waking up and I can't pinpoint what app is causing this. The screen just turns on without any notifications or noise, it just turns on and then back off. I figure the logcat will help figure this out, or am I off?

Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, logcat is broken in this build apparently (can't blame the rom) but it's on my todo list.

Sounds like a notification still. I've heard of this, can't remember what the issue was it was a long while back. Are you getting messages or anything at the time that you can tell?

Do you have Titanium Backup or anything that you can start freezing apps. It's probably not going to be a stock app but you never know and I don't know how frequent it happens or how easy it is for you to duplicate but its worth a try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
Thanks for the quick reply td. I was wondering what I did to break it lol it worked fine on Blazer, then broke when I went to Paranoid and here. I'm getting no notifications whatsoever. I do have TB and I'll start freezing apps until I figure it out. There are a lot, though lol

It's about once every 10 minutes or so, the screen will just wake up. I don't really have to duplicate it, it just keeps recurring on its own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I do a lot of trial and error testing. I think logcat was broken since FI03. Flashing back to that to see. Then I'm going to start mass flashing over library, binary and framework files from FH13 until I find the culprit. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
Whoo! Hopefully we'll get logcat functionality soon :D if you need a guinea pig, you know where to look lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It looks like FI27 just dropped a little while ago. Don't get your hopes up folks. Unless there is some major update we're staying where we are. ;)

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

Well, it appears to be a kernel problem. Logcat works with the Kuban kernel and also with stock but not Agats' 0.5.4 build. He's releasing a new build soon based on FI27 source and I just notified him of the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
Blues is correct.

If you use the market app "goo manager" there's a "Browse compatible ROMs" link that pulls up potential roms for our phone. The nice thing about downloading using the goo manager app is that it automatically confirms MD5s.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcazes:
Anybody have any idea what it would take to get encryption working for this ROM? I have tried a few ROMs and encryption fails every time. For this ROM, I was seemingly able to get to 100% encryption, but after a reboot and entering my password the phone just hangs (so I think it was unsuccessful). This post sheds some light on what's going on, but I haven't seen any topics for the E4GT...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] konichwa:
I just wanted to say thank you for the freeway ROM. Its stable, fairly speedy and has great battery life.

Appreciated. The only two thingsi wouldn't mind seeing is having google now worked into the ROM and being able to flip the menus horizontally on the phone ;)

That would be bad ass. Rock it you all

This has probably been discussed and I apologize if it has... Just can't find it.

The camera app is not rotating properly with the phone and my pictures always come out sideways. I've noticed all the text like picture count and such is always upside down. I have calibrated the phone and all other apps rotate correctly. WTH? LOL

Excellent Battery Life

I just wanted to report some stats from my latest run with Re-Calk FI25

In my latest test, I wanted to see if I could regain decent battery time and less indiscriminate drainage when the phone is predominantly in standby (sleep) mode. I did a full charge, calibrated the battery and used the phone moderately (on-screen time was around 1.5 hours) throughout the day.

I was able to get ~30 hours out of a single charge!

My setup is:

* Re-Calked v0.2.1 FI25

* Agat Kernel v0.5.4

* No Mods added

* Modem - FI03

* Account Sync - Turned off but ran at least 10 times manually

* Only ran WiFi for about 2 hours total

Observations:

* Phone went into deep sleep very quickly

* No problems waking up

* No sluggish apps

* I did see a fairly significant drop in battery almost immediately when toggling WiFi on, but eventually this would level out. It does appear that battery drains much quicker using WiFi with this setup than normal

Thanks for this BadA$$ ROM, keep up the good work! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
Nice! You should also include your governor and if any UC'ing or UV'ing is going on, just so we have a better idea
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Hey td just wanted to get back to you on that tweak that fixes the camera app being really laggy on opening. It's running fine and I haven't noticed any drop in battery levels from it. Seems to be doing what it's supposed to. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I can't answer this one because the only time I turn rotation on is to watch a video or something because the rotation is kinda annoying. However, the camera rotates fine even with rotation turned off and looks like its working fine for me. Anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
Fine for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Well 5Footer, I guess you're the only one that bothered to check out the new lockscreen stuff I spent so much time putting together. :p

Anyway, I reposted the 4 lockscreen mods. Give them a try and let me know.

There are also 4 additional addon mods there also that changes the left swipe to other apps instead of the default camera btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
Kool man I try to try everything out. I'll give it another flash with the new ones and try the addons also. Thanks man you do great work.

OMG your like the best mod bro ever0_0 You should be like royalty
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
Ok, so I think I may have figured out what's causing the issue I mentioned earlier. (Screen turning on/device waking up on its own)

I have JuiceDefender toggle wifi every 10mins (or so) and it seems to be that whenever the wifi is toggled back on, it turns the screen on. Another thing that turns the screen on (that I wish wouldn't) are the volume buttons. I have JD set up to lock my screen and whenever I'm listening to music (which is often) and I want to toggle the volume, I'm able to move it one step and then that's it, because I have to unlock the screen to be able to move the volume up or down anymore.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix either of these issues? I wish I could toggle the volume without the screen waking up all the time, it's inconvenient when I'm working out and drop the phone in my pocket. I end up clicking something or another.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
Maybe it's JD I just tried the volume with screen off and it didn't wake up. Just got louder. Try uninstalling JD I heard it's a battery hog anyways.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
I'll try that! Thanks

JD has certainly helped my battery life so far.

Edit: Ok, it's certainly not JD. I uninstalled it and the rocker still wakes the screen. I'm using DoubleTwist Player, in case that helps

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I suppose so but if you use any of the placebos I posted in the tweaks section, it will wipe out KO's tweaks so you would have to get the virgin placebo 2.0 from Phakeers' thread and flash it last.

I'm pretty sure I wrote all the tweaks here so they wipe out the tweak before it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
TD are the tweaks from your 2.0 rom posted? I'm getting old and can't remember, I think they do better on battery than gear 3. I'm getting 15 with 3 hours on screen with 2.0 and your tweaks it was 18 and almost 4 screen on. I just wanna find that sweet spot for mine. Till we see TD's JB....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joshuadub:
I got the best results just right out of the box its on gear 3 by default on latest build if I'm not mistaking
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That is correct. Any decent custom rom should have great battery life right out of the box. You're always welcome to tinker and try to improve on what you get of course. ;)

I installed a JB rom last night out of curiosity. Phone was at 98%, didn't have time to tinker with it, just left it laying on the counter.

When I woke up this morning, it was sitting at 10%. :eek:

So I popped in another battery and I could almost hear the JB rom sucking the life out of the replacement battery. LOL

Anyway, I came back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
You download Android Terminal Emulator from playstore and type in "su" (no quotes) grant root access then type in any shift from 1-4 connected to the word "shift". Example "shift3" after entering "su". Shift 1 is more performance and shift 4 is more battery.

Ok, all this tweak talk is confusing. Let me answer the questions first.

For 5footer: you can flash any of the tweaks in the tweaks post you want, they all overwrite each other. I will explain the 2.0 stock tweak in a second... ;)

Ttittoo is correct. I know I posted the gear shifting tweaks separately but really the easiest way to shift gears is to install terminal emulator and you can shift gears on the fly without having to reboot.

________________________________________

No matter how I deal with this it is going to be confusing somebody:

Re-Calk.2.0.Stock.Tweaks.Restore.zip = Kobridge Aggressive tweaks modified

(Recalk 2.0 uses a modified Kobridge aggressive tweak)

Re-Calk.2.1.Stock.Tweaks.zip = Re-Calk.2.1.PhAkEer.Gear3.zip

(ReCalk 2.1 is really running gear 3 by default)

There's always the one guy. ;)

I don't know, I will have to think about it. I've been considering releasing a small update to the rom and going back to stock app switcher involves a lot of changes that affect other mods (especially the status bar toggles/mods).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
I started by looking at http://uot.dakra.lt/ - from there you can upload system/framework apks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Once you figure out how to compile/recompile, nearly all of the icons, lines colored backgrounds etc are always going to be in res/drawable-hdpi.

For colors and other things res/values. The tricky stuff is in res/layout and trying to figure out where everything resides. Slesh can help you the most with that part I think. ;)

The best way to learn is to compare (learn by example):

1. decompile original oem file

2. decompile the modded file

Compare them side by side. :)

Why don't you use the theme Slesh just posted a link to as a starting point. That way if you have a question about it specifically, he would already know the answer.

Hint: For the rom itself, nearly everything is in systemui.apk or framework-res.apk.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, that is confusing. I added a new note to that mod page. Hopefully it will help but you know how it is. ;)
