I don’t have anything beyond doing that which TD and SG have suggested, as the advice seems to have worked (delete Google account, reboot, add back in; I hope I have that right).

I did a full X2 wipe and reinstall from the jump, so I hope you can solve without that course, but it would be the next logical step.

Good luck!

V4 System Apps Question

Hello, All-

I'd like to move some apps now in system to preload, but also don't want a disaster on my hands.

Wondering if someone could confirm if, with some or all of these, it'd be unwise to move to preload:

3Minit_Settings.apk

AllShareService.apk

AutomationTest_JBUP.apk

BasicLiveWallpapers.apk

HelvNeueLT.apk

MediaUploader.apk

Samsungservice.apk

SecCalendarProvider.apk

SecContactsProvider.apk

SecExchange.apk

SecMms.apk

SecNoteMyFiles.apk

SecSettings.apk

SetupWizard.apk

SPlannerAppWidget.apk

Superuser.apk

Thanks, and happy Thursday everyone!

What steps do we take to upgrade to v4?

Thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmocherman:
This is definitely not an official response, but coming from 3.0 or the 4.0 test versions a dirty flash seems to have worked for most.

Personally, I did the following:

1. odin EL29 directboot kernel

2. backed up (nand)

3. wiped devlik and cache

4. flashed 4.0

5. rebooted

6. let it run for a little while (to be sure everything was working)

7. rebooted into recovery

8. flashed Comadose tweaks

9. rebooted and enjoyed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabril15:
can you point me to the Comadose tweaks? what are those? Sorry for the ignorance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Everything is fine except I wouldn't try to move superuser while the rom is running.

Edit: Backup anyway though. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Thanks, TD, and noted in the backup. Can the computer read the files on the phone and move them if they are in those directories? I ask because I can't think of another way to move it without root explorer or similar app, which is using su while open. I'm sure there might be a zip/flash solution, but that's beyond my abilities.

Is there anyway to get a GPS lock without going to GB. That's a very long route for me. I simply can't. Also, I have never ever had a problem with GPS. even with the first ICS and JB releases in most of the ROMs I tried. It is so weird that this happens now. I saw a post a couple of pages ago. May be I should try that one first before I start complaining, right?

If I'm Not Mistaken...

TD did a write-up on this a few days ago, which I thought was in his ROM thread, but I can't seem to find it.

It was a very nice little bit of logic, as it had decision-rule structure, with rule 2 referencing itself. The rub of it seemed to be that you should give this a few minutes minimum for the setpoints to take effect. This could be protracted with multiple mods set to run on boot, since both ROM Toolbox AND a second mod could have built-in delays, each giving time for the device itself to fully boot.

If I find the link to his post, I'll edit this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
hey micmars - so did you go ahead and move all those to preload ? if so, did you just batch copy and paste or do one at a time - change permissions ? and finally, lol, run TD's symlink zip after each app or after all apps were moved ? I really want to try and take advantage of preload but still a little tentative - thanks man -

Tapped in from my rooted, O/C'd by pio_masaki Thrive
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Yup, All Save SU, in One Batch...

Yup, about 20 minutes ago. Did them all in one session, though linearly/one-at-a-time, with the exception of Super User. I chose to do it this way since it occurred to me that some of these may have interdependencies, and moving a few at a time could cause more headaches and not give a true reflection of the viability of doing this.

You needn't reset permissions, since they are already set properly in system/apps. All I did was cut/past left window/right window (love the split window in Root Explorer), boot to recovery, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, flashed TD's symlink tool, and rebooted. I tested some apps that I'd moved, went into 3minit settings, &c., and rebooted again for good measure.

One oddity: On reboot, the messaging app icon was missing from the Nova dockbar, but the contacts icon remained intact. The same icon was on the lockscreen, which is stock (i.e., not using the AOSP version or a lockscreen replacement). All I did was place the messaging app back on the Nova dock from the app drawer. I now have about 60MB of free space in system whereas before I had 24MB.

In a word, it worked as TD predicted. I'll let you know if anything changes.

The system default is 180 seconds (that's what AOSP is, can't remember if TouchWiz is different). So if the line isn't present (it isn't in stock TouchWiz) it just goes with the system default.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Well I added the line, default value was 90...which is just about 3 sec intervals. RToolbox's editor recognized it and gave a pulldown with default values and a slot where you can enter manually. Ive tried 420, 720 and 1000(which were all default values) with a reboot after each. And wifi still scans every 3 seconds

Strange... I thought I saw somebody else had that issue, but can't remember if it was resolved or not.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It will work on any ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
In settings, go to WiFi, and when it is switched on, you can see where "scanning" pops on the screen by the on/off switch. Mine also scans every 6 seconds, no matter what I set the scan interval to. On aosp, it changes to whatever you set the value to. I thought I had this issue a long time ago on a TW ROM, just wondering if there has been a fix since then. That's why I asked, also because of the battery it eats. Thx

Edit: oops...I missed this last page.

Just copy and paste the whole thing to the bottom of the build prop....leave a empty line inbetween the end of the build prop to what you copy and paste.....see if that works....let me know, make sure you reboot after saving changes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'm reading different things across several phones concerning this in Touchwiz with the same complaint.

I don't have any proof (I think I read somewhere though) but I'm beginning to think that the build.prop tweak is for when the phone is asleep and it does not have anything to do with the wifi settings display. If you're looking at the wifi access points page, more than likely this is a set value for scanning for available access points JUST while you're in the wifi settings. Make sense?

This is why I initially asked how can you tell if it is really scanning... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
That's what I was thinking. I didn't realize that's how they were testing it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yeah, the more I thought about it, why would you be able to tweak the scan interval for where you connect to wifi networks? More than likely it is what it is in that menu so you can easily find and connect to new networks and cannot be adjusted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
That's true, but I tested the same way on aosp, and the time between scans changed. I actually have WiFi to stay off when asleep so that it wouldn't be affected, but that tweak does affect what happens when the phone is awake. On aosp only, so far.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
SG, added what you shared, reboot, still same result. Check this out though, earlier I said that the only line I added was the supplicant_scan line. After that, I tried using Pimp my ROM to adjust the interval, since I saw it in the b.prop, and also tried the editor in ROM toolbox. I'm not sure which one did, but the line I added was deleted, and the last two in the screenshot were added. BTW...the "# power saving," was added by me when I added the scan line earlier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
did that persist WiFi line change your scanning interval ? I added the lines as well but it had no effect - still scanning every 6 seconds -

How is battery life on this rom? can anyone comment on this vs the touched by an s4 rom for battery life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Battery life will be the same, as there are no tweaks included in either and they at both GB27. There are ways to extend it on any ROM... ComaDose;);) Greenify, DS Battery Saver, it's all up to you to extend it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
It's a question that's as relative as it gets. That's why many don't like it being asked. That stated...

Short answer, quite good, especially if you follow good protocol, such as keeping your phone in sleep mode, avoid widgets and apps updating every thirty minutes, and watching out for apps that wake the phone regardless. WiFi, for instance, could be set to only scan when plugged in, or never. These affect while the phone is asleep, not when awake, so don't think that the scanning while screen is on is going to change with these settings.

Install a battery mod, such as Comadose. Add deep sleep app or similar if you like.

Install better battery stats and use it to fine tune your setup, or to identify culprits that are preventing your phone from sleeping. When satisfied with the phone's battery life, you can uninstall the app.

Since most apps are inverted, that helps with battery life, I think a lot. I saw a post on xda about the extent of it, and found it to be pretty impressive. Some may differ.

I personally have screen brightness to maximum, which drains the hell out of the battery. But, it's a tradeoff I gladly make. Others here would call me crazy, but it's my preference, but you'll note that I don't ask people why my battery drains due to the screen brightness. Others use Facebook a ton, and can't live without it, so that's the app they don't mind constantly running. I don't use it at all, so it's not my concern.

And so it goes. Your phone, your choices, your burden.

Where you will always find help is after you've decided that you have the setup you want, and your battery life isn't what you'd have expected, then ask. Many here only wish to help, never harm nor criticize.

Final thoughts, read the Comadose thread, keep more than one battery and switch them out, don't fret over battery life when your battery is old, etc.

More than for which you bargained, but hopefully helpful to some extent.

Good luck!
