Did you load them into a zip and flash them? Because just pushing them into system apps got me the error in the ss:

LOL I was just going to ask how blues installed them, I Adb pushed from PC, I'll try pushing from sd card:thumbup:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Well, if you pushed them through adb and they worked, and I pushed them through system apps, and it didn't, then I would conclude it's the pushing method and not the apks themselves :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Ok, was poking around, and come to find out these using es ez downloader didn't download the app, just the icon or something. After finally downloading the actual apks(!) and pushing them to system apps, I was able to open the contacts, but got the error in the ss when tried to open phone:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
OK, downloaded and pushed from sd, got the fc, unfortunately my logs are too big to view on the phone so it'll have to wait until I'm back at my pc to try to hunt down the error. I'll make a flashable zip and try that method also to see if I get fc. It's possible that the push methods not taking permissions correctly, but I'm not sure why. What app are you using to push them blues? Or better yet, how are you installing them to test?

Music Effects FC

In many AOSP based roms for EG4T (including PAC, CM10.1 [WFTN], and the BeanStalk builds) there is an option for Music effects located under Sound Settings. Each of these roms also includes the DSP Manager. However, in the official Dirty Unicorns build provided by ktempleton, despite there being a DSP Manager, there is no option for Music Effects located under Sound Settings.

While this has not been an issue for the DSP Manager, it has been preventative in getting V4A audio effects working. When I follow the OP's instructions for V4A, a new option (Music Effects) becomes available in Sound Settings. However, once I click sound effects (a step require in the V4A OP), settings force closes on me.

I examined the event log and under "Exception class name" and it says android.content.ActivityNotFoundException.

Why can't I load music effects without an fc and why isn't it there upon installing the rom to begin with? I'm curious as to whether or not it is on my end. Dirty Unicorns is the most customizable rom and I'd really love to use ViperAudio...

Note: I did use an inverted gapp package. Could that have anything to do with it?

Also, where can I learn more about Android (i.e., developing, kernels, coding). Should I just start with Java?... or maybe Python?

Edit: OP mentioned setting permissions of the APKs placed in system/app to rw-r-r before rebooting. Going to see if this was the issue.

Edit2: The permissions were previously set as rw-rw-rw and setting them to rw-r-r when placing them in system/app before rebooting coming from a fresh DU install gives the same issue.

You definitely need data for MMS. If you don't want to use data for MMS and can access wifi, you might want to try out Viber located on the PlayStore. It does free messaging and calls through a carrier or wifi.

so all I am trying to do is install a recovery on my rooted full stock virgin mobile gb28 i have searched and searched and found these two files... which one?

SXTP_Agat_VMUBFL26-v0.2.0 - leaning towards this one because it says it installs a recovery, but then again it says fl26 and i am gb28

or

SPH-D710VMUB_GB28_1014481_Kernel.tar.md5 - not exactly sure what this is it was in the stock kernel section i was linked to will it install a recovery

both from Rwilco12

or maybe tGB27_Agats_Recovery .tar - except this ones not gb28 and not for the vmub version
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
When it comes to custom recovery, you can flash GB27 just fine. It's universal for Sprint, VM, or Boost. If you only want cwm and feel you must stay on VM, flash Garwynn's latest custom kernel w Agat's recovery here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217686

If you want custom recovery AND the ability to overclock/undervolt, you can flash Agat's GB27 on VM and it'll work fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blu422:
thanks now i have the recovery on, but when i try to back up it says can't mount backup path... what now?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
So I was snooping around my phone and I found this under :

device/preload/symlink/system/app - and in the app folder are pretty much all of the apps I've deleted or that weren't iny rom - are these deleteable ( simply to free up space) ? Or does anyone know why they are there ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Those are there because not all system apps could fit in /system. Basically upon boot after flashing all those apps are supposed to be put in your /system folder. Also upon factory reset I believe they come back if they are still in the preload folder. Not sure if deleting them causes problems though so I would either make a nandroid and remove them and see what happens, or wait for someone more knowledgeable to tell you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
I did delete facelock from there cuz I never ever use it and always remove it from whatever rom I'm running and so far it hasn't seemed to mess anything up - I'd at least like to delete the ones that I deleted or that weren't included in the rom -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
If you are running a touchwiz jelly bean ROM then the apps in preload folder are required. Only remove the ones which is bloat. Don't remove all.

nervous about switching from GB to JB

Hello, I have been on GB for a while now and Ive read over the process of switching to JB. It looks doable but I have some cold feet. I think its mostly because I havent seen a JB ROM that seems to be reporting as being solid enough for a daily driver. Does anyone have thoughts on the switching over process, as well as a JB ROM they recommend?

To my novice eyes, the standout ROM looks to be touched by S4. Thoughts?

Also do you think a more streamlined upgrading process might be developed anytime soon?

Short Fuse SItuation/Emergency, Help, Please...

Good Morning, All:

This morning I was getting bootloops, then Garwynn's 0.5 recovery was acting wonky, now I can't boot into ANYTHING, recovery OR regular phone. I'm willing to kill the entire phone and start over, but need some assistance.

Am I SOL, or is there a way to do this? Again, can't get into recovery with either hard key presses, and can't boot the phone. I don't know if my computer can see it, because I'm at work on a MAC.

My hope is if my computer can see my phone, I might get lucky.

Sprint Actually Did Some Good...

Must have been one too many mods. I took it to the Sprint Store, they got into the boot loader, and put GB27 back on the phone, all my data is there, but all of my mods are gone, with their craplet mods on.

Bought a new battery anyway, BR, so thanks for that.

Now it's time to start flashing again.

Since it probably was a combination of issues, I don't think there is any one thing that I could provide that might help others. If there are those whom feel otherwise, please let me know.

Good news is awesome to have, so thanks for being the best forum I've had the pleasure to partake.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zxo0oxz:

wipe everything

flash cm10.1

correct?

Yes and after flashing cm10.1, flash gapps. And wipe only data, cache and dalvik. Don't wipe system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zxo0oxz:
Don't wipe system? May I ask why? Every other phone I've worked with it's always been best to wipe the system when moving to a new rom. Unless the rom's update script does it for you...

The updater script checks your build prop before continuing to flash. If it finds no entry or a different model number it wont flash.

Bootloops and Recovery...

All-

On Thursday morning last week and again today, I was throttled by bootloops. Prior to Thursday I'd been running JD's deodoxed/debloated Boost ROM (on a Sprint phone, no problems) for months, Sprint put me on pure GB27 stock. By Friday morning I was on JV4 test build, and by Sunday I had hot-swapped a number of apps. Today, bootloops again, but I was able to get into Agat's recovery and flash a working backup.

Other info: I regularly run App2SD (now App Manager III) immediately after startup for the cache cleaner. Commonalities I have noticed is that during each event, it would take longer for App2SD to count through the apps. In both cases, the crash took place during a phone call and doing something else on 4G (email this last time). In light of the fact that I have no logcat with which to work (unless there is a way to pull one post hoc), can anyone provide some general guidance? "Don't clean cache on each reboot, you idiot," or similar is totally fine (in other words, have at it).

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Like I said in talk, I'll post here for everyone else's benefit, if needed. It sounds like you're having some sort of conflict with app2sd, cache clean up, and JV4. You mentioned the rom is in test mode, so there might be a bug, but I doubt that. Shadow_God puts out a great product. I personally would only clean cache when I flash something new. And with 16gb of internal, I wouldn't use app2sd period. If space is an issue, you might invest in a larger external for all your pics, mods, modems, roms, etc. Just my two cents, not sure how helpful it was. I will point out, you had zero problems on my build(shameless plug). LOL! :thumbup::beer::)

I'm using usb storage for moving apps...

Thanks, JD. My first meltdown was on yours, but after I modded the heck out of it, second on SG's. Both are stable as hell. I think you're onto something, though.

You get two gig internal, one gig RAM, and 14 gig usb. My pics, backups, etc are on my external SD, but I use app2sd for moving to the internal usb storage. Like my browser, acrobat Reader, etc I move to on-board usb storage.

Time to delete app2sd, move to internal, and stop clearing cache.

Will report back.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:

You of course are correct.
