Thanks for the response. On a jb rom like king kang, we are unable to update prl, and right?

So is there a way to update the modem and still update prl? It seems that flashing a tw rom would reset your modem. Are the correct steps this: flash to tw, flash modem, update prl, flash jb, flash modem?

Thanks again

I've got a fairly decent one that is a dock and charger. It's got a slot for both so you can be doing them at the same time. I didn't use an extended battery with it but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I don't remember the brand or anything though (it's buried in a box in my closet). If you're interested send me a PM and we can work something out.

quick question - I have been playing around with Next Launcher - I'm wondering if it matters if I leave my stock launcher set up - like will apps and widgets I have setup on the stock launcher be running at the same time they are on Next Launcher - or should I delete all widgets and such from the stock launcher ? does that make sense ? lol - it does in my mind - but that doesn't mean much - :confused::confused:

It only affects memory and such if you keep both launchers open, in memory, all the time. Whenever you switch launchers just clear the old one from recents and you are good to go

First apps I install on any new rom are Nova (when I upgrade, I may move back to sSlauncher), Nova Prime, Tesla Unread, Zooper Widget Pro and Popup Widget. I think Nova is far better for making your phone yours. Even without root, you can do so much with Android.

[HELP](FI27)WFTN 4.2.2 08-04-2013 nightly Cant send/receive MMS (tried all options)

Hey guys, Im in a bit of a pickle.

I flashed my phone to 4.2.2, did everything in order as per the WFTN OP, and things worked well for about a day. I could text MMS and do everything just fine. Then suddenly, it stopped. Only MMS, every single other damn thing on the phone works great. I can use data just fine to google things and download apps. When I try and send MMS messages, it takes a bit and then says it has sent the message. But they dont actually get it. Also, when they try and send me a message, it says " unable to download message".

Great. So on to the forums! Researched the issue, tried re-flashing, after clearing all caches, formatted user data. No luck. Ok then. Tried APN settings. Still no luck. No matter what I do, the APN settings wont stick, and all thats there is the stock Sprint APN. Tried setting APNs for Virgin mobile, would reboot, they would be there, but still no change in being able to send MMS. Reboot again, and they're gone. Tried deleting the telephony Database, no luck there. Tried flashing to an older nightly, see what happened there. Same issue. No matter what I do, I cant get MMS messaging on Cyanogenmod. Ive looked at all the major forums and posts about this issue, and nothing seems to resolve my issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, in short, I am on the FI27 modem, running WFTN 4.2.2 08-04-13 nightly, and no MMS, send or receive. All known options exhausted. what do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Get off of WFTN and install the official 4.2.2 rom that dastin has posted. Should get you back in business pretty quickly.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Is it possible to change the displat of what cell data your on? Like if you're on 3G the phone displays 4G. I want to do this because people are always giving me grief how they have 4G and I only get 3G Sprint coverage in my area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yes, you edit the png associated with the xml. Easier than it sounds LOL.

In framework-res and twframework-res you'd go to the res folder, copy the 4g png and paste, then rename it to the name of the 3g png. Delete the original 3g image and push them back to your device (or reboot if you did it on your device)

Should be good to go after that. Make a nand before doing anything just in case.

Speaker not working

Trying to fix my sister's Virgin Mobile GS2 (from what I've read, it's really just an E4GT). Problem is it the external speaker just quit working while she was listening to IHR. I figured it was a software issue since it hadn't been dropped or anything. I factory reset and reflashed the her current rom (rooted stock JB rom from rwilco12's repository). No luck, still doesn't work. Also flashed a stock rom that wasn't rooted (also from rwilco12's site). Still no luck. Trying to get rid of the triangle boot screen and reset the flash counter so she can hopefully get a replacement from Virgin Mobile but I'm having trouble getting Triangle Away to work.

Anybody else have issues with the speaker going out? Any fixes out there? I've done some searching but only fixes I've found are either get a replacement or flash back to stock.

Also, if anybody can give me advice on using Triangle Away to get the phone ready to return to VM I'd appreciate it. :)

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

Tasker can definitely do this. Could create a profile that sets brightness to max whenever your video app is opened and toggle back to previous state when you leave that app. I seem to remember another app similar to Tasker in the Play Store but I can't remember the name. It was still a paid app though. Other than those two apps, I personally don't know of another way to do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I use root explorer, if you were to use that go to

/system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

and

/system/framework/twframework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

If you can't figure it out, send me a PM and I'll whip it up for you in a flashable zip;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
You can use mxplayer from the playstore. It can do this in its options without the possibility of messing with the wrong setting in tasker. Plus it's easier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Make sure you're running a rooted rom, using a custom recovery. Triangle away is confirmed to work of this device, and it's variants, so not entirely sure where its going wrong for you. How are you flashing back to stock, using PC odin and the tar file (if I remember right, it's been a long time since I've been stock...) triggers the triangle, using a one click does not. Personally, I always go for the one clicks, less chance of error if I get distracted ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] redstorm64:
Using PC odin and the .tar file to flash. I'm gonna try reflashing the rooted rom and try Triangle Away again...I feel like something just wasn't right when I flashed that last time...maybe if I cross my fingers really hard...

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

One question though...won't the flash counter go up again if I reset it and then flash the stock, unrooted JB rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I'm pretty sure the one clicks don't trigger the triangle or the counter. I'll double check and let you know.

Edit- Check out this thread for the specifics, and don't forget to thank [MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] while you're there ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] redstorm64:
Sweet, I reflashed the rooted stock rom, installed Triangle Away and the counter reset. I'm thinking I had an old version of TA. Seems like my recovery is stock now as well...I don't think that happened last time either. I think I just need to unroot now, hopefully that's included in garwynn's post, I'll check it out. Thanks! Or possibly my unrooted stock rom I've already got will work...it's an executable with odin included in it. That what you call a one-click? One-clicks on my Galaxy Nexus are a bit different...don't have to use odin ever.

Update: The .exe stock rom I had worked and did not increase the flash count. Seems like everything is back to stock and is ready to send back to Virgin Mobile.

One more thing other than the pm I sent you. How do u get this side notification bubble off my screen? I've included a screenshot. It has the weather channel notification in it at the moment.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
That's halo. If you press the notification twice you open the app in a popup. If you have multiple notifications you can slide between the them, then press to open.

There is also a setting to make it less obtrusive, so it only shows about 10% of the button. And there is "ninja mode ” which hides it completely when you have no nonpermanent notifications.

Or remove it per churchey's instructions above.

Hello everyone. I'd like to quick say thank you to everyone for making this website what it is, it's nice to have somewhere to turn!

This morning I got my epic 4g touch stuck in a boot loop. Thinking I knew what I was doing I attempted to flash the same rom I had been using to my phone, BUT I messed everything up, the primary thing being selecting a PIT file that was in the same directory as ODIN.

I have been following the instructions laid out in this thread but I have come across an issue that was not spelled out there.

Instead of flashing the StockCWM-EL26.TAR I am trying to flash the stock rom HOME_SPH-D710_CL852097_user.tar.md5

Everything is fine until I get a Complete(Write) operation failed error.
