Excellent update everything seems to be working properly for me and everything is so fast and snappy. My 2.16 got really laggy lately and I read somewhere somebody suggested to use Pegasusq as a governor. I just tried it and it made my phone so fast even at 800mhz. I used Pegasusq governor before but it made my phone unresponsive at times so I went back to on demand. Strange.

I did another dirty flash and everything seems to work fine. I hope I won't have SOD issues if I do again I may have to do a fresh install. I just don't have the time to go through all the hassle at this time.

I highly recommend Pegasusq governor for our rom. It made a huge difference for me. I never realized how laggy my phone got lately. My phone feels like a sweet Nexus phone with an SD card. I refuse to buy Nexus for the lack of SD card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
btw, I wouldn't underclock if I were you. I have read many posts about underclocking using MORE battery. :) I get good battery leaving that as is. Pegasus is good though as you mention!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
My brother is an electrical engineer and he seemed to be very skeptical about under volting he was saying something about the current being higher when you do that or something along those lines meaning that it may not help with battery life.

I've heard of people swearing that both under volting and underclocking helps tremendously. I haven't ran the actual tests but it appears to help with achieve longer battery life. I am pretty sure I noticed visible difference. Maybe someone else may weigh in on this subject. I don't see it hurting battery life but I am not a pro. I will have to check with my brother again for technical specifics. I would imagine someone out there did a study on this. I believe even manufacturers themselves over clock and under clock certain chips on certain devices.

My gallery if FC'ing like crazy while taking pictures. Fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
Try clearing cache under app. It force closes while taking a picture, or when browsing the gallery? are you using camera and gallery from 4.2 gapps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Its really all math. undervolting 'seems' like it will help but underclocking imho does not appear to help and can actually hurt.

(stock mV per CPU)

1200mhz draws 1300mV per period (x)

1000mhz draws 1200mV per period (x)

800mhz draws 1100mV per period (x)

If I am going to use my phone for 100 periods at 1200mhz then I am going to use 130,000 mV. Here is where the problem comes. That same 100 periods does 'less work' at 1000mhz. So that same process may need to use 110 periods (10% more?) to get the same amount of work done. If I use the CPU for 110 periods at 1000mhz then I use 132,000mV. and so on. You get the idea.

In my example, I just made up the multiplier for how much work is done by one mhz or another mhz. I also don't take into consideration heat which translates to efficiency and loss. I'm sure someone smarter than me will show me the error in my ways but as a gauge, I don't think underclocking helps much. The reason manufactures don't leave the CPU at 1200mhz is HEAT. When the core heats up, it is less efficient so if they stagger clock speeds, you get the best of both worlds.

I say placebo to underclockers. I say 'maybe/maybe not' to undervolters.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pentaxshooter:
Few questions. I am still on v2.1 (lol, I know) but this is for a few reasons. One, I am a bit lazy and don't get around to keeping up with updates as they are released, but also because my power button has stopped working recently. Is it still possible for me to flash an update without a power button? I need to get the button fixed, but would like to flash the newest version of PA first because of my second problem.

After being on for a few hours, my phone will start to force close everything. Any app I try to open FC's instantly. And eventually, trebuchet FC's as well. Only way to stop it is to restart the device. Is this just a problem with 2.1 that I am just starting to notice or indicative of something else? It did not do this at all until the last few days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
You can try using Mobile ODIN to flash to the newest PA. Mobile ODIN back to EL29 using directboot (Or EL26, whichever way you are used to) and install it via the CWM it boots you too. OR, you can do a dirty flash directly into PA 2.54 using the recovery. But if you have a broken power button I don't know how you will be able to bring up a power menu, or power into Recovery..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
If he goes to CWM, he'll need a power button.... I wonder if he can use a touch based recovery instead so he doesn't have to use a power button to 'select' anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MicrosoftBug:

You may be able to use ADB to manually dd the partitions to the phone. I don't see why this cant be done. For example, take a look at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1865102

This uses ADB to dd partitions to your device. Since your device is already partitioned correctly, I don't see why you cant just dd the zimage of the new rom to your phone. All you would need to do is download one of the 'rebooter' programs from the play store to get you into recovery mode without using the power button. That is easy. You may want to reach out to crawrj (owns that thread) for some help. He is a great guy and can help you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
I see your logic. I will have to look into it.

BTW. On another topic I don't get any FC after doing half a dozen dirty flashes since AOSP JB ROM. Everything seems to work great except I may get SOD once in a while which irritates me and I may have to do clean install very soon. This ROM is the best ROM ever made in the history of mankind :) I have used a lot in the past but the user experience is phenomenal on this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
This may sound stupid and you probably did everything but, maybe a few drops of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to the power button followed by repeated pushing. Never know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Well, I said what I did because when you go into CWM via Mobile ODIN, it restarts into CWM. I never have to use my power button to get into it. Also, selections can be made with the home button by leaving it at default. Is that not correct?:o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elijahbrown:
Just got done confirming this.

Mobile Odin el29 direct boot;

http://db.tt/V8lWPqwX

You will need to press volume up, volume down, volume up to enable a "go back" option. All selections can be made with home button.

________________________________
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
The current CWM doesn't allow selects with the home button which is the problem. I am not sure about the directboot CWM that you mentioned. I can't remember. :) I am 99.9% sure the the dd method will work bit it is a bit more 'technical'. If someone can verify the home button works as a 'select' in the direct boot CWM then he may be good to go with that and can always fall back to my method.

EDIT: elijahbrown confirmed selects can be made with the EL29 direct boot. Thx for that. Keep in mind that if you really screw things up (doubtful) you can recover even without a power button via the post I mentioned.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jbrawley1:
Correct me if im wrong, but we wont see any custom kernels unless source drops for our phone JB 4.1 right? its not the same as 4.0? so there wont be over or under clocking into we get more source codes correct?? ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Blars1206:
Check what you have syncing. I only auto sync gmail, contacts and browser...the rest I do myself when needed. Any widgets I either set to update like every 3-5 hours or just refresh them manually. I'm on pegasusq and the default io scheduler. My brightness is at 50%. I set gmail to sync only 10 days. If I think of any other things that might help I will let you know, but those are just some of the things I do right away with every Rom. I don't use Facebook, but I know a lot of people do and that might be a cause...Also the Amazon app store app is known to cause excessive battery drain (though the newest one is better).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
Very good question hmmmmm but I know you can under vault and over clock this kernel. I'm doing it now!

Try clearing the app data for each individual app and system UI. Go to settings/apps/choose app. Also, what gapps did you flash. My 4.2 gapps work just fine with no notification issues.

Also is there any swype type of keyboard that works for this ROM? Thanks for the help fellas. Cheers :beer:

Just wanted to make sure before I did this. I just need to use MobileOdin and this file which will take me right into CWM and then I can flash the new version of PA?

yes. put the directboot file in kernel of mobileodin and flash firmware and it will ask to check md5 sum yes.

and then do clean install as usual

once in recovery you will need to push up, down, up, down on volume keys to activate the power button

Hello! (I do apologize if this issue has already been brought to the devs' attention, but..)

Coming from CM9 to CM10-based ROMs, I've noticed this bug across the board. The audio output has seemingly been cut in 1/2. Keep in mind, I'm not a programmer, rather a troubleshooter. (I'm a 100% hipster-nerd working for a rather large automobile advertising publishing company in the Midwest USA). I'm also a musician and audiophile, so this sudden drop in volume output is really a deal-breaker for me.. so I'm going to have to downgrade back to CM9 and wait til this bug has been addressed. -- I just wanted to make sure that this issue had been brought up to the right people. You guys are doing a fantastic job with this Paranoid Android ROM which is by far my favorite ROM, aside from the aforementioned volume bug. Once that's fixed, I'll be reflashing back to PA in a hot second!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] baj24:

Our phones have a personality difference then every other E4GT. Some will eat it up, some will spit back at you. Exactly as was stated, you need to play around with multiple combinations of modems/kernels/tweaks/etc. until you find which one works best for your phone.

I always figured, latest is greatest. I refuse to believe that they would actually downgrade over time.

If you are going to choose your modem based on what most people are using, keep in mind the vast majority of people do not have rooted phones.Think of all those people that are using the latest modem.
