I left calk's e4gt 3.0 to flash this ROM. I.went into recovery and wiped everything and now the phone gets stuck on the galaxy screen. I can get to download mode but not recovery. I don't have a PC available... Had this happened to anyone else. Hoping this is a soft brick
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wotandsdwys:
Something finally got me to go away from CM9 as my daily driver.

Awesome work and thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LuCkyCn:
I don't have this problem. Im sure you have tried a fresh install. Can u tell us what you installed after you install the rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _dan:
Sounds like a soft brick. I'd Odin el26 cwm and try to flash again. What options in aroma did you choose?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Yes, definitely is a soft brick. ODIN back to EL26 and flash again from that. You probably shouldn't have flashed the ROM directly from Calks 3.0 if all you did was wipe data. The best thing to do is ODIN back to EL26 and then flash the ROM from the recovery using Chris41g's Recovery. Or you can Mobile ODIN it with directboot EL26 CWM which is personally how I did it. Sorry about what happened, you will have to wait to access a computer is sounds like.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
I too came from calkulin's 3.0 & I'm not having any issues. I did flash from within el26 though.

As for youtube, mine is working fine.

The only issue i've ran into is that some apps require that the sd card be unmounted first, like xda.

The battery life is the best on ics for me so far but still not as good as calkulin's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tahlsr:
Just installed. Aroma seems very slick. Well done. Thanks _dan. I'll leave feedback as it comes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] draven760:
Hello, I have just installed your ROM coming from CM10, and really like it. I had been reticent to try another TW rom, but this along with the theme is very good. I had two questions:

Thank you for keeping the AOSP lockscreen. I much prefer this over the touchwiz version. Is there any way to add additional shortcuts to the lockscreen?

I am not used to the touchwiz scrolling acceleration. Is there any way that you might know of where I could modify this?

Thank you in advance for a great ROM, and I look forward to seeing your future work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Hey _dan, nice update. Has the theme been updated at all or just the base rom? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Hi _Dan, I flashed the lightweight update, but in about info, it still says Tersus Status..

Aroma didn't show any errors so I assume the update went through.. but how would I be able to tell?

Are you using ROM Toolbox to change DPI settings on your phone? Or did I miss something in the OP that allows me to do this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bcparker:
Thank you for the reply. Yes I tried a fresh install. After I installed the ROM, at separate times, I flashed the M7 Google Now zip in recovery, I also flashed Placebo 2.0 in recovery. In addition to that, I replaced the libstagefright.so to /system/lib in order to fix the Voice response in Google Now (the other half of the fix is to add media.stagefright.enable-player=true to build.prop, but the line was already there) as per this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1780585. Other than that, besides a few apps from Play Store, I havent added much of anything. I will try a fresh install again, and make changes one by one until I find a possible culprit. Can't go wrong that way, right?

I also flashed Awesome Beats, Placebo 2.0.

I'm going to try and flash it with absolutely nothing else but Clean Blue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bcparker:
FOR THOSE WITH YOUTUBE PLAYBACK ISSUES!!!

I troubleshooted and found out that Placebo2.0 IS the culprit. I tested doing a clean install, trying Youtube, it worked fine, so I installed apps/tweaks one by one and after flashing Placebo2.0 in recovery, Youtube became choppy both times I tested it. Good to get to the bottom of it. Great ROM!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
IMO, this ROM never needed placebo...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qubanaso:
did u try different gears in placebo?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bcparker:
Nope. I agree with other comments saying this ROM doesnt need placebo though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nathantaylor:
I was just going to say, I flashed the update (Aroma was great, btw) and didn't add Placebo. All is well..

Also, _dan is the man!! Awesome rom!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Placebo was written when stock ICS was getting terrible battery life. Battery life in ICS is fixed now, all the placebo is doing now is well, it's a placebo. It does nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Thanks a lot! I am going to have to check that out!

I love the way this theme makes the phone look. I think it's just that much better because of how well it runs. The battery isn't the best yet, but I just got done throwing on Placebo and PmR so I will wait a few days to let it calibrate. It's all over the place at the moment.

I was on calks 3.0 went to recovery wiped all x2. Then flashed the rom anr Now it's stuck on the galaxy screen. I can get to download mode but not recovery. Problem is no computer around.... Hope it truly is only a soft brick. Thank all for previous insight

Hey _dan, this is more of a preference thing and not a big deal at all but could you replace the Setings icon when in the settings menu to the one in this pcture

Im talking about the icon in the top left corner. (random AOSP screenshot ^^^)

_dan will you be introducing some battery tweaks into this in the near feature? I really, really like this but I'm having a hard time getting used to the battery, coming from Calkulin's v3.0 GB rom. This time of the day with Calkulin, i would normally have about 70% left (it is 4pm here in Cali). With the tersus, i only have 39% left (same usage habits).

I wonder if you perhaps incorporate calkulin battery mods like the ones found in the Re-Calked series of roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
That's what I did!

All I did was make backups of my apps with Titanium Backup, went to recovery, made a nandroid, wiped cache and dalvik, then just installed the ROM. I am running perfectly fine right now. Not a single FC or LOS or LOD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
Do you know if this goes for Kobridge tweaks as well? I do agree with you in a way from experience. I get better battery life without any init.d battery tweaks/scripts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tahlsr:
Hope this helps someone else:

I use ROM Toolbox to change my DPI. The email app (which I use for two exchange accounts) doesn't visually scale well. I found some AOSP apk's that work great. Now the scaling works and imo they are better functionality wise too:

I just figured out what was in my way during my update and was giving me weird issues..

How did you integrate it? I've never done that before...what advantages does that have? I have Rom toolbox pro already and didn't see where or how to do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Ah man, I'm sorry guys, wrong apparently, its in titanium backup pro.. damn that's embarrassing!

Click the menu button and you have a ton of extra functions there with pro version.

Click integrate sys dalvik into rom

Basically it integrates system apps into the rom. For me, it seems to speed up system functions just a little..

You just have to remember to undo it when flashing updates to the rom you're using. I have used it with every rom I use and it works for all.. (GB, ICS, JB.. TW & AoSP based OK too)

I am having a really hard time installing pimp my rom. When choosing to install, it stopped after 14% and goes back to cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Blars1206:
No worries. So integrating it doesn't cause boot loops or anything when rebooting? I've seen the setting in titanium but was afraid to try it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
No bootloops for me, but just have an acceptable nandroid handy so if you do get bootloops, you can simply restore your nandroid.. :)

When you integrate, it wont reboot and not sure if its necessary, but might be a good idea.

When you undo system dalvik integration, the phone reboots automatically. You will see the optimizing apps as if you cleared dalvik cache in recovery..

Same with me.. I replaced the update-bianary-installer file with the one from lightweight.. all I am trying to improve is multi-tasking, internet speeds and scrolling and touchscreen tweaks..

I'm not trying to tweak kernel or system settings..

PmR stops and goes back to start screen every time.

This rom really doesn't need tweaking but thought if I can improve scrolling, touhchscreen and multi-tasking, I would.

I have had successful pimping with other roms, even TersusStatus was pimped but no luck with lightwieght for me..

This happened to me too but I had to select at least something from each page. I tried more than 10 times and that was the only method that worked. At first I thought ok... all done but after rebooting, the apps did not install and only a few tweaks were flashed.

Try it, it might just work. I now have beats and the other apps plus all the tweaks I wanted. It feels laggier though...

Edit: I'm on AGAT repack Fi27
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
I have tried many ways, I thought I tried with selecting at least 1 from each section.. and I also tried doing 1 by 1, it seems to be when I select an unit.d tweak, that's when PmR crashes.

Also, if the kernel matters, I am using Agat v6.3

I am going to try flashing Agat's stock repack FI27 and see of that works.

Update: still didn't work.. no worries, this rom still runs as good as the phone can handle (IMO) so I'm not feeling like I'm missing out on anything. :)

If it happens again the voltage will be what I try next. I would thank you, but my limit is up right now... :(

Once again _Dan thanks for the great ROM. Will likely run it as my DD for a while. I just wanted to give some more observations in case any of it is useful to future improvements.

I'm running with the FI27 Repack Kernel and SuperSU. I started with a fresh install and don't restore any data. (I did add in a new email and exchange apk). I install all apps on the internal storage.

1.) When I start the Sprint Hotspot I get a : Hotspot Error - Unable to connect to data network...... (I only changed the SSID name)

2.) In settings -> display when I check the 'weather' checkbox, my GPS activity indicator turns on (blinks) in the status bar etc.. but no weather is actually displayed on my lockscreen.

3.) I tried installing SwiftKey 3 through the Amazon app store (it was a free app of the day a while back) and it installs but crashes when launching (even if I don't have an SD card installed. So far, other apps from the Amazon app store install and run fine. The SwiftKey 3 free trial from the Google Play store installs and runs fine.

That's it for now, keep up the great work and let me know if you want me to test anything, give you logs or change kernels etc...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pyrotoast:
Not sure exactly what you're asking but my guess is you're getting slower 4g than normal recently?

It's an issue with fi27 source built kernels (at least agat's, as for kuban kernel, and the governor's kernel i'm not sure). Agat knows about it, and is working on it. You can find more information in his thread over in the original development section. If you use the agat fi27 repacked kernel your 4g speeds will be fine, of course you'll lose governors.
