Smity Special is simply the way i run my phone. Feel free to give it a shot. You can always revert if you don't like it. Won't hurt my feelings, i promise. :silly:

Phablet mode default, except for home screen.

DPI set between 180 and 200.

Colors added from the color preset.

Some custom app settings, for instance Gmail in phone mode and the default launcher at 240 DPI.

I am almost ready to start taking requests on custom configs, but i honestly don't know the best way to "collect" the data. I also don't want to be "tweaking" everyone's configs before every release as that can get big. If anyone has suggestions on this, lets hear it!

so were there some problems with 2.54? I read thru the past few pages of mixed reviews, 2.53 has been pretty solid. only a random reboot about once a day.

edit: tried to dirty flash 2.54 and tried to install the new market, kept force closing, so I tried to reinstall justinbeans' gaaps with the aroma installer and now my phone, mms, and contacts are gone, phone is useless. going back to 2.53, dont know what happened. any help?

The issue I had with 2.54 was airplane mode turning on by itself. And I think fc's with the new desktop clock...that's about it
[Epic 4G Android Development] samepic:
I downgraded back to 2.53 because of random airplane mode. I My random reboots were kind of related to changing the cpu governor to Interactive. After I switched back to Ondemand I have not seen anymore reboot.

[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Anybody experiencing issues with the "recents" view? For me, whenever it's portrait or landscape, the "recent apps" list keeps popping up every ~15 secs automatically. I have onscreen keys turned on. Clean flash doesn't solve the problem. (I'll return to PA today to check if it's an issue related to onscreen keys)

Ideas?

EDIT: After some tests I figured it out: I don't like the capacitive key backlight so I'm happy when PA 2.54 imported the function to set brightness to 0% (=off) in Settings->Advanced... But turned out that when I set it to 0%, the Recent Apps view keeps popping up and also whenever I want to change my wallpaper. Adjusted to 25% and everything's right. Hope this gets fixed in the next (4.2?) build...

Quick question, I hear that if one is using CM10, one must Odin back to stock before switching to another Rom. Is this true for all roms? Or only true if you are switching to a BML rom? Can I safely switch to this rom from CM10 without resetting back to stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I can say whether it is true or not, but I flashed other roms after using CM10, also all the roms were JB roms that I flashed after CM10.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Masaid is correct, you only need to Odin if you are reverting to stock/unrooting ; or flashing a BML rom (question; why would anyone flash a BML rom at this point?)

You don't have to re-Odin, but you indeed have to flash a non-JellyBean ROM package first if you want to restore nandroid backups of ICS or JB because partition arrangement is slightly different...

It's like epic has been written out somehow or it is calling on the epic under the wrong set of folders. Something similar happened before, and it wouldn't build no matter what i did until the next version came out.

Time will tell on this one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asksmity:
Got the issues fixed and have a new build. I am going to hold this one back though as the devs are making some heavy changes.

Notably they announced (from what i have read) that they are splittling from CM and going pure AOSP all 4.2.

Not sure what this entails for a builder like me yet but the new version i have is 2.55. They are claiming version 2.99 as an alpha version of this.

More to come as i figure out myself.

I already have GPS Status installed; that in itself hasn't solved the problem. In the description of GpsFix it says that it "It keeps GPS/AGPS receiver turned on until location is fixed" which would seem to be a battery drain to me.

I'll try it anyway, but I'd prefer not to need two third-party solutions.

[Epic 4G Android Development] lothy:
I'm rather noobish to rooting by comparison to most in this thread but I went to 2.53 from 2.52 and did a clean install however, when the ROM is flashed then GApps, it loses it's Baseband. I am attempting to install the NS4g modem provided in the OP but it errors out and when I reboot to recovery and TWRP calls it successful, it still is not giving me a signal. I am wiping dalvik/cache after install. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Maybe I need to be better at reading. I am installing PA2.53 and didn't notice the NS4G modem was 2.54. I assume that is the cause. I saw 2.54's battery life is worse compared to 2.53. ANyone hae a link to the 2.53 NS4G modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
That's the version of ns4g modem patch. That just edits your build.prop to reflect the version you are running. I ran into the same problem when trying to get the modem to stick on PA and CM10. I believe its because of the lack of room in system so the modules for the kernel will not install causing modem to not work.

What I did was use 7zip to extract your PA 2.5x zip to a folder and then open up the system/app folder and delete anything that you don't use. I deleted all live wallpapers and trebuchet launcher and replaced with nova or apex cause they are smaller in size. Then delete everything in you original zip and then highlight everything in the extracted folder that you just edited, and drag and drop into the origanal zip to copy over. Place on your SD card and flash PA 2.5x zip, gapps, and ns4g AIO zip. If after the ns4g modem flash it says "failed" reboot to recovery and flash AIO.zip again. Then reboot your phone and see if your baseband is showing the modem.

[Epic 4G Android Development] aod420247:
I hope we're next! Maybe the broken auto rotate will get fixed! That would be awesome just because it seems if you have an app in landscape and the screen lock activates, its super hard to unlock the phone. Have to keep dragging the circle until it decided it wants to unlock. I really like the rom though, best I've seen on our devices. Good work!

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Happens to me also, but I am finding for me, if someone calls me, and I answer the phone, then after I hang up and make another call it'll almost certainly do it for me every time. Also, sometimes when I get a phone call from sleep, as soon as I answer it it hangs up and is in airplane mode. Almost like the radio locks up right as I answer it. I already mentioned the auto rotate sticks issue, only other thing I've seen is sometimes when opening a white screen I got a cornucopia of flashing color lines all over the place then once whatever it is loads its fine. I was also one who tried to flash a ns4g radio, had to odin back to stock to fix all the bs that caused...would have no radio and booting into recovery was a crapshoot trying to guess if it was going to boot cwm or twrp. Just thought I'd try to help share any bugs I have seen personally on 2.54.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:

[Epic 4G Android Development] asksmity:
Second step in the second box on OP.

So you are saying you want a toggle that enables and disables vibrate, and does nothing else? The existing toggle puts the phone in "vibrate only" mode.

Let me know if i misunderstood that one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] el3men2od:
No the thing is that if you touch the toggles it vibrate it wasn't like that before is not that we need a toggles to turn on and off vibration, pull down the notification and touch the toggles on top and you'll see what it is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asksmity:
Ahh i see, it does a mini vibrate when you press a toggle. Odd, but even if you disable the vibrate on touch, it still does it.

Tried adjusting settings, no luck, at statusbar (systemUI) DPI >= 180 the notification area is already expanding out of screen, yet the keys still aren't big enough... :( I already gave up Tablet mode in PA2 because of the absurdly large blank between softkeys (replacement?
