Actually been trying to port this for a while but all my dev time has gone to PA. PA has priority.

You may have a good point, but I wouldn't mind seeing it in action just to see it. Kind of like wanting to see if that old dell in the closet can run windows 8. Why? Because.

I don't mean I hate kangs; I just think King Kang is a steal of concept from PAC and that we should port the original instead... I never use kangs on my E4G (to keep it official) but see, the CM10 on my (borrowed) IncS is a Kang...

It was definitely cool but there are definitely some bugs that need to be worked out. If someone could build it from source it would be solid. Effsi is lacking the resources and equipment he needs to do it, if he had them I know he could definitely do it.

i think i'm gonna try this.

two questions:

1) How is battery life?

2) can i use this in 'noob' mode? I have little time for constant wiping, flashing and tinkering; i want something that can work 'out of the box' as well as customizing when im taking the train to work?

thanks!

cya after the root!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
This thang looks and works mostly identical to a CM10 if you flash it and leave it alone; however, with 5 mins of patience you can make it a GNex, a phablet, a tablet or anything you want, just mix the PA options up and you'll be there!

At least PA made me throw away my CM10 :D

P.S. This place has been silent for quite some days... If this persists I guess I'll do a switch to something else. An HTC MT4GS costs only $100 here (second-hand)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Agent Soap:
I believe what our friend AndyYan is implying, is that just because it's been quite "ghost townesq" 'round here, fans of asksmity are patiently awaiting

an UD, to an already perfect product. I wish I could provide creative criticism to aid in development, but I cant! It just works, and it works damn well!
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
when I was a technician almost all id see come back for repairs were htc phones, ill never get one. ever.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Agent Soap:
I bet Tmo would kill to have you as a tech j00manji, they are really hurting for quality all around, so coming from the baller that is Sprint is, you could keep doing what you enjoy... Give it 6 months then talk to a sprint recruiter you'll be back in with new experience to add to your résumé! Or look into MVNO companies, if you can find a local company supporting local customers, you could walk in with rank. But back on topic; HTC can only be described as "getting better" since they (selectively) unlocked their bootloaders. And the quality out of the physical material is still waning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Uhh.. don't look at me like that, I love Samsung, it's just that all Samsung dualcore devices here are either expensive or incompatible with WCDMA, and I need a phone that can replace my N900, not this Epic :( Epic will still be my entertainment phone, I'll keep it

There you go.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Jedman67:
Thank you's.

Smitty, i must inform you that the physical keyboard does not work properly with the stock chrome; the shift, fn and symbol buttons do not work.

Although might that be due to the gapps package i downloaded?

thanks for making a great ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] steelers_exe:
I believe the fix for that is to reset the dpi for play store back to stock, clear play store cache, and reboot. Something like that. Exact instructions should be in this thread somewhere....
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Shift and Fn button may work if you hold them down and keep them pressed while you press the key you want to shift or "Fn". Never seen Sym key work on any non-TW ROMs. Can't verify as now I'm on CM10.1 :D

Sent from HTC Incredible S @ CM10
[Epic 4G Android Development] asksmity:
right. the button is working, but instead of a single press getting you into shift or fn mode for the next keystroke, you have to hold it down just like on a computer keyboard.

my update: I have spent most of my time trying to fix the building of 2.99 for the epic. Yesterday and last night i spent a good 10 hours trying to port the rom instead, and results are not good. I did find a nice posting tho that not all of the building materials are available to the public yet (which explains all the errors). They will be uploaded for 3.0.

SO at this point i am taking hiatus from PA until 3.0 hits, and then i will focus on building it. In the interim, i am working on a few other builds, such as slimbean and some form of kang. I know i have probably said this quite a few times, but life has been busy and majority of my free time has gone to PA.

So I lent my phone to a friend with 2.52 on it, hes telling me that its bugging out on him whenever he tried to play a game with 2 fingers. I remember it working just fine when I had it. Would a reflash fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Tell him to wipe caches and reboot and let the phone sit after booting for a few minutes. If that doesn't work maybe try a wipe and reflash.

And if you go the route of wipe, go to 2.53. 252 was decent but had a few quirks. I don't recall that one being one but I do recall some others that 253 fixed and battery life is better.

No worries. I'll keep loading the 1.99 and then we will have fast booting AND fancy alternatives. Also I found out adding premade layouts to paranoid settings seems fairly straight forward so once I get 1 or 2, I may start taking requests. All depends on how it reacts.

Download "Better Battery Stats". I believe there is a version of it floating around XDA somewhere. Run it for awhile to see what is causing your drain.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Here are a few custom bootanimations i found awhile back kicking around somewhere on xda. I did not make these and full credit goes to the artists/themers that did make them. I only resized a couple of them to fit our device. The CM10 bootanimation seems to have the same issue that the newest paranoidandroid boot had with lagging and long boot times. The others boot normally.

THESE ARE NOT FLASHABLE ZIPS!!!! Simply use root explorer, ES file explorer, or any root file browser and navigate to your system/media folder and make sure to selecct RW permissions and delete your old bootanimation from that folder. Then Rename the new bootanimation you just downloaded to "bootanimation.zip" and copy and paste in system/media and set permissions to rw,r,r.and hit ok. Make sure there is not another bootanimation installed in data/local. I know JusTUN Bean Gapps installs a bootanimation to there so make sure to delete any from there also. Then reboot and enjoy:cool:

Yesterday wasn't super productive between nursing the wife back to health and tending to a teething baby. However, i did come out with a little something in those 5 minute code spurts.

By request... this patch gives a semi transparent notification background, and some of the icons have changed (accident i didn't have a chance to fix). Also it adds another setting option to the Launch menu in paranoid settings, my personal setting. This is more of a proof of concept, but I won't lie, it is awful convenient when i flash. ;) One thing I haven't figured out is changing the background on notification ITEMS. Ill work on that and the toggles this weekend.

Even though I am running this with no issues right now, it doesn't mean it is perfect. Normal disclaimer: FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am relearning how to theme with JB, as many things changed from previous.

Some of you have reported market fc's. I didn't have that but i was having issues with the market not letting me download/update apps because my phone was in phablet mode. Went digging and found a modded version by Tsjoklat.

It fixed my issues, but I am not sure about the FC issue. The catch is, I am not exactly sure what I did to trigger it to work. Flash and wipe cache/data alone didn't work at first. I wiped data again and also uninstalled updates on the Google play services. Finally after a 3rd of 4th reboot it worked again. Some people in the post also recommend removing your google account, wipe data/cache in recov, and adding account back.

My battery is dead so if you would like to try this one and let me know what you did to get it working, go for it. Otherwise i will post back sometime with the exact steps and ill try to recreate the FC issue.
