Re: [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Preview Builds for Samsung Epic 4G

1. You're right

2. No, until the new CM 10.1 ROM out and you flash it, and, the on screen NavBar will be dissapear, just flash the flashable zip to enable it again

3.OK right answer

1=enable (hardware key is enabled, not on screen disabled)

0=disable (on screen navbar enabled)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BoscoCosta:
yes. and i'm using the latest gapps. i'll give all the ideas a try and report back. thanks all!!

No go with a fressh double install of both the ROM and gapps. Tried the wipe data same issue. Also noting that the home key doesn't respond.

Re: [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Preview Builds for Samsung Epic 4G

Has anyone tried USB tethering in a WiFi hotspot? My use case is I need to use a computer without a WiFi card (right now I can't afford to buy one) in free WiFi hotspots such as Starbucks and the library. I'm not with Sprint and don't have an unlimited data plan, which is why I'd like to take advantage of free Wi-Fi hotspots if I can.

Edit: if no one knows I'll let you know what happens. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
Re: [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Preview Builds for Samsung Epic 4G

Did you wipe/format system? The cm install script wipes system, but preserves gapps AFAIK. So you may have remnants of old gapps in system. This would likely crop up in a keyboard failure almost instantly. So, I would try wiping data and cache like always, but also wipe/format the system partition. Then flash the ROM and the gapps (should be 12122012 for 4.2). Reboot and enjoy! Theoretically...

Running the latest 20130101 experimental and it's great. The only issue so far was the wallpaper would not change at all no matter how many times I tried but a reboot fixed that, no big deal just thought I'd mention it. Thank you so much bbelos for all your time and effort that has gone into this!

I noticed some upstream fixes for Bluetooth have arrived for CM10.1 in

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#epicmtd/cm10.1/next

Merge "Bluetooth MAP (Message Access Profile) Upstream Changes

"Incorporates updates to the Bluetooth MAP profile from Code Aurora's Android Enablement Project since we initially pulled in from their gingerbread to CM7 last year. This patch addresses bugs with the current MAP profile, adds a UI request for message access approval when pairing, and adds additional error checking and logging. Confirmed to fix date and "Download" function of Ford SYNC Gen1. Pulled in from the codeaurora jb branch."

Do these fix the BT problems in JB 4.2? I don't fully understand the explanation, but then I do not understand what the current problem is, except that I am unable to pair some devices.

I know this is not in the experimental build, and I am not being impatient. I'm just hopeful that a fix is on the horizon.

Re: [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Preview Builds for Samsung Epic 4G

Sorry sir, but you are wrong.

You can connect to a wifi spot and then usb tether to your computer. I do it all the time.

4g tethering doesn't work AT ALL. It only tethers 3g. It says you're connected to 4g but you only get 3g speeds.

When you're connected to wifi, you get the whole throughput. You cannot connect to a wifi hotspot and then try to WIRELESSLY tether, cuz then THAT turns off the wifi on your phone. But wired tether definitely does work.

Thanks for the info and can't wait to test it. Any tricks to the settings I should know? You've done it with CM10.1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
New Build

New build. I accidentally missed the M1 build, but this should be pretty close. Nightlies should be in the somewhat near future.

No promises but check this build for any improvement in BT. It includes a test patch (more than just the upstream BT merges). The issues seem to still exist, but I've been having somewhat better luck.. with some things.

It could be a coincidence but here are some observations:

Pro:

- Better chance that BT will turn off and back on again.

- Better chance that the device will connect each time.

-- When the device doesn't connect, turning BT off/on will allow it to connect (maybe a couple times as necessary).

Con:

- When using Apollo: If I let an album get to the end and stop audio on it's own, BT audio seems to stop working when beginning a new album. Needs more testing but it's happened more than once. Reboot will usually fix it. Maybe I need to stop letting the album end on its own :p I also need to test other music apps for similar behavior to rule out an Apollo bug.

- Maybe more, but I forget for now. Let me know if anything is better.

I was having some various odd problems. Seems a lot of them resolved when formatted /system manually, then reflashed ROM and gapps. I thought something strange was happening when I had ad's blocked after wiping data and reflashing. It later occurred to me they were blocked using the hosts file, which might've been in /system. After formatting /system and reflashing, I was getting ads again until I reinstalled AdAway and patched the hosts file.

I would like to announce some very good news to Virgin Mobile customers running Bbelos's 1-20-13 Build.

The Virgin Mobile MMS is now a go for that build. I was able to bring it to Bbelos's attention that we needed to retain certain commits that were not yet merged (which were eventually going to be merged but could have been overseen)

Still, you have Bbelos to thank, also Brooksyx to thank for the VM MMS flashable, you can just leave my thanks on my guide if you use it. Hehe.

Suffered from a wake lock today on the most recent experimental build. I was trying to check the time on my phone while sitting in class, but couldn't get the screen to turn on.

Re: [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Preview Builds for Samsung Epic 4G

Tested Bluetooth today. Was able to pair with a gnex. I was also able to receive an incoming file just fine. However, I could not send a file. When I attempt to share a file, the Bluetooth device chooser doesn't show an available or paired device. I haven't tried my hands free device as it's battery is dead, but I suspect it would pair/work fine now. Will have to test that later. Anyone else able to get a voice/music service to pair and work correctly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dfrhodes:
I got the same result yesterday - now able to pair with my BT usb stick, but only able to receive. There are also still some handsfree anomalies with audio (the 50% audio out on wired headset already discussed). I haven't tried BT audio yet.

I also got the lockscreen flicker still. this time waking screen with audio playing and hitting the Play Music lock widget. It looked like the widget was competing with the pattern unlock screen. I can't reproduce it now though. Gallery properties are working now though.

Brian - Do you want continued feedback on these experimental builds or should we just wait for the 10.1 nightly? I have a ton of time to test stuff this week so hit me up.

Re: [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Preview Builds for Samsung Epic 4G

OK, finally tested Bluetooth on the hands free device. It paired nicely, connected and I was easily able to make a phone call. Then I tried music throughput using Google play music. It wouldn't play through. Just to check, I switched to phone speaker and it worked fine. Switched back to Bluetooth, and it still didn't work. Good progress though! I previously said the flicker was gone. Looks like I was wrong. The play music lock screen widget did it like the previous member said. Although it was slower and seemed to pulse with the lock screen as said above. Again, thanks for giving us the opportunity to test and try to help out. :thumbup:

Any one using Seeder?

I've been hesitant to use it but gave it a shot.

I installed the latest version.

I have notice a slight increase in speed.

Doesn't help that I live in Alaska and 3G sucks here.

Yes the apps do open quickly but it takes awhile for content to show due to data speeds.

I'd like to hear more on what you guys think.

Like I said, for me it works well on CM 10.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] robrob:
I'm on the 1-20 exp build and the Bluetooth is acting differently than CM10 and every other ROM I've used. I'm using a BlueAnt hands free speaker and it connects up as soon as I turn on the BlueAnt. Normally when a call comes in the BlueAnt gives a ring chime and I push the "answer" button on it and it transmits the conversation. With CM10.1 the phone rings like normal but the BlueAnt is silent but it will pickup if I press the BlueAnt's answer button.

For outgoing calls the BlueAnt would normally automatically play the phone audio but now I have to press any of the buttons on the BlueAnt to start it working and play the phone audio.

This is no big deal but it is different than it used to be.

Love this ROM,

Rob

Ok so looking at your question again, yes if you are connected to wifi on the phone you can tether via usb to a pc and it works fine.

I connected to my wifi and am sending this reply over usb tether connection so you should be good. I'm on the 20130101 preview, I haven't moved to the newest build yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sesquipedalian:
I mentioned earlier in this thread about occasionally getting a "New Message" notification for an MMS, but then never actually getting the MMS in the thread. A full backup and restore of SMS and MMS using Go Backup would put these "phantom" messages back in the thread, with a Download button and an expiration date of the correct day and month, but year 1920. Trying to download them would always result in an error.

Now I am getting another problem where I am missing SMS messages. Several times, I have seen an SMS in Google Voice that never made it to the Messaging app. Do you think this is a problem with the ROM or something related to Google Voice? Also, could the problem of phantom MMS messages be related to this missing SMS problem?

Can anyone suggest troubleshooting steps? I guess the most drastic steps would be to go back to CM 10 and observe if the problem persists, or to disable my number with Google Voice and see if the problem persists. But I should like to try something else first. Anyone else have experience with a problem like this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
Has anyone else experienced glitching 'home' hardware keys? It happens only occasionally, and I notice it most when I go to advanced - touchkey brightnness = 0% (I like not seeing the keys, so everyone that grabs my phone is like "how do I do...____").

I tried the NS4G AIO kernel patch the other day and my home key went CRAZY, I couldn't stop it to even adjust the touchscreen brightness to try to reset the touch controller, which is usually all I have to do to remedy the issue for a day or so (switch to 100% and then back to 0% seems to get it to stop).

I am curious if this is my hardware acting up, as I have seen this glitch on stock models (usually the back key however) or if it is something in the 10.1 build (1-20) causing it?

This is a brand new Epic, btw, as the previous one (which was rock-solid running CM9 for the better half of a year) had a capacitor malfunction and screen went haywire recognizing touch input (multiple touches when I only had one input, or not recognizing at all, even after flashing back to stock, so got Sprint to replace it a week ago for free) so since I flashed it IMMEDIATELY after getting it, I have no way, without Odin'ing back stock, to know if this is my hardware or 10.1, unless someone else has experienced it.

Not a big deal either way, because I have a fix for it, and also I get an upgrade on Feb 1st (so, maybe brand new Epic for sale soon??)

OT, should I get the SIII or the NoteII (thinking NoteII)?

Thanks!

Re: [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Preview Builds for Samsung Epic 4G

I know on the previous builds before there were issues when turning the keys off it would cause Google search and recent apps to open up by them self since flashing the latest experiment build I have not had the problem. Are you running the latest buid cm-10.1-20130120-EXPERIMENTAL

My search never malfunctions, it's just the home key, pulling up recent apps you are right. That's good to know it's a software issue and not a hardware one :)

The Advanced settings have changed. There's an option to turn off the capacitive keys.

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

I tried latest experimental build bbelos posted a few pages back. Has anyone else tried the software nav bar zip posted by a few pages back? I tried it after doing a factory reset and could never get past the spiraling cyanogemod screen. I eventually just added the line in the build.prop to turn off hardware keys but as originally posted that makes the software keys a bit too large.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
When you say turn off the capacitive keys, are you saying turn them to 0% brightness, or disable them altogether?

The build I am using has brightness functions, from 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, or 0%.

BTW I have an idea for a feature that would be cool..when I am charging, I am constantly looking at my phone to see how far along the charging sequence is..

If you could have it where the LED flashes while charging (I know there are LED color/flashing settings already incorporated into the system), say if it is red, and 10 percent or less, it flashes

(1 flash)......(1 flash).....

when it reaches <20%

(2 flashes).......(2 flashes)

<30% (3 flashes).....(3 flashes) etc.

Once you make it into the >50%, I would suggest it turning either blue or pink (can be set in a menu if possible) and begin the process over again..

If you are in the >60%, it would flash twice blue...pause...flash twice blue...pause

Once you get to the >90%, it would be flashing 5 times again, but blue. If in this time while charging you get a notification, just have the LED color reverse and flash an extra time..

Say at 80%, (B.B.B.B.R........B.B.B.B.R........)

And at 40% (R.R.R.R.B........R.R.R.R.B........)

Just a nice thought, something like a charging animation for those of us who want to know if it's safe to unplug our phone for a while without having to wake it up and look at the battery icon.

What do you think?

(EDIT: super-cool charging LED animation idea, have the menu, home, back and search keys flash sequentially :D

(M.H.B.S.....M.H.B.S......M.H.B.S.....)

would be AWESOME ;)
