I'm just happy and say with my news: I am switching to the HTC One as I have it already pre-ordered. I have loved this rom from the day it came out and just wanted to say thank you.

so...

Thank you CGM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
yeah ShineyDude, my issue was not the SIO, but "allow purging of assets" neither are on by default, so most people should be fine if running the ROM as is...

I heard Francois dropped voodoo sound and that the only way to get it is to insert it into the kernel yourself. That's all I really want though. The stock kernel with just voodoo sound added.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnow2:
Stock kernel with voodoo sound and usb otg :)

Hmmm, looks like there's a new monthly out, just might have to upgrade: http://get.cm/get/jenkins/24775/cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-epicmtd-M3.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Will test this out later on today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
So changing the kernal might help with battery life?
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
In my experience no. Always have gotten the best with stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sunchips:
Does anyone get that bug where the icons on the app drawer toggle bar(bottom of home screen) become compacted to the left side of the bar? It seems to happen more frequently in the latest nightly and I can't figure out whats causing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Can't say i've ever seen that before. How long has that been happening to you (oldest build you can recall)?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
It's different for everyone because I've always had better battery life with Nitest kernel instead of stock. YMMV. I'd make a back up then flash a Nitest and see for your self:)

Edit: The 20130411 m3 runs smooth for me. It doesn't seem to work when flashing nexus modem swap zip, ns4g radio and Nitest kernel but I can confirm it runs like butter only flashing the rom and gapps using wifi (so for everyone on a stock epic modem don't worry it's a great rom). Were there any changes made in the m3 that would prevent using a ns4g radio and Nitest kernel?

Edit #2: After process of elimination it looks like it's the swap2nexusmodem.zip that's messing things up so disregard that question. The m3 is a great rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
M3 runs smooth for me, thanks Devs!!! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Where can I find this at? Got a link?

My battery is old, but never gave my problems until I switched from the stock rooted GB FC09 to other ROMs. I'm going to get a new battery anyway, but just weighing my options I suppose. It will be a while till I get a new battery since I'm doing mail order (brick and mortar stores are charging $40+).

Alright. I'll find/study the process and probably give it a shot. Thanks for everyone's help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
now you know why samsung didn't push jb update to our device ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
:mad:

...but you're probably right. Out the box, Epic 4G can't handle JB without major tweaking.

Now that you mention it, the Epic didn't get ICS, either. Just kinda stopped at Gingerbread.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

That actually happened to me today, when I changed the number of icons from 4 to 5 so I can fit Task Manager on there. It did that every time I rotated my phone. A single reboot seemed to fix the problem.

I am on the monthly for last month, though. Probably never gonna do nightlies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cybershawngates:
I've seen this happen after a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and turn phone sideways - bottom dock icons are all stacked on top of each other, just drag them out back to usual spots, not sure what causes it. Prob happened to me 4-5 times total. But sometimes I do a cache and dalvik wipe to speed the phone up periodically (without any flashing of nightly). So perhaps glitch is due to that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Well with me, it only happened after I changed the dock number from 4 to 5. :eek: I never wipe the cache and dalvik unless I am flashing a new ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bpsears90:
Well guys I bought the s3 today. I Just wanted to say to the hard working developers that I really appreciate the hard work that helped me keep the epic longer than I would have otherwise. Keep up the good work
[Epic 4G Android Development] UPdownLoAD:
Quick update on the M3 release-

I updated from M2 to M3 this morning using the Cyanogenmod updater built in to the Rom (after making a complete backup of course). Normally, I would be on my second daily battery charge, but am at 42% after ~12 hours with high/normal usage. I am using a OEM 1800mah Epic Touch battery, I believe 1 year old now, but may be a few months younger than that.

It seems just slightly snappier, but that could easily have happened from clearing the cache. I don't really notice anything different, except I see a 4G widget now (it may have been there before but I didn't notice it). I also see Recovery is now at 6.0.3.0 and Superuser is now a "setting" instead of a stand-alone APP.

Unless I run into any issues or there are major improvements/features, I plan to stay on M3 for the foreseeable future. Note: I have not tried using any bluetooth features so far, but will this week with little expectations of it being any better with the connect delay since I'm not aware of Google sending a fix downstream (yet).

It is just truly amazing how well my "obsolete" phone works now. Thank you to anyone and everyone who has contributed to CM and supporting the Epic; the phone now finally lives up to its namesake. I fully intend to stay with the Epic (and repair/replace it, if necessary) until at least Sprint-flavored LTE comes to the Columbus, OH market.

Camera

Hey guys, noob here, so bare with me if this has been covered, or if I'm not following forum etiquette.. Whats the deal with the 5mp camera? Ive been using CM10 for a long time and recently upgraded to 10.1, Now my camera has gone from 8mp to 5mp. The new camera takes HORRIBLE pictures by comparison. I need a good camera for my work. Should I switch back to CM10 or is there a fix or this?

(also if I switch back to CM10 do I need an older version of gapps as well?)

Thanks for any help you can give!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sunchips:
I started to notice it when the builds went from experimental to nightly.

I've noticed it happens sometimes when opening the keyboard and rotation happen at roughly the same time but its a hard bug to repeat. Its just really annoying to have to re-do all the icons. I've never had it result from a cache wipe like other people have mentioned.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Is this with the stock launcher (and stock everything else, for that matter)?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
There's a version of the Epic 4G that came with an 8mp camera? News to me. As far as I know the only Samsung Android with a keyboard that comes with an 8mp camera is the Captivate Glide. Otherwise they all come with a 5mp camera.

If CM somehow made a phone that only went up to 5mp, take 8mp pictures, well thats amazing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
The app pileup happened to me once a while back. Maybe a month ago. Hasn't happened again, and I'm not sure what I did to trigger it. I've been stock during and since then. I know this doesn't really help, but he isn't the only one. I had forgotten about it until mentioned.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ExpletiveDeleted001:
lol oops, posted in the wrong thread. thanks!:eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
So whenever I use CM updater now it deletes my google account and all the gapps so I have to reflash gapps and re-setup my account. What's up with this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
For me, yeah, its the stock launcher, Trebuchet. I am looking for a good launcher, but all of them seem to be missing something or other. The main thing Trebuchet doesn't have is the pinch homescreen and continuous scroll on the homescreen. But it has the cube-out transition effect on the homescreen and the option to not join the app drawer to the widget drawer.

It didn't for me. I used the updater to go from last month's monthly to this month's monthly. The only hiccup I had was I had to go into recovery and flash the Epic 4G carrier fix again to get data.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

I went from M2 to M3 around 7pm EST today, via the updater. The battery life seems identical to me. But I'm still on my original 1500 mah battery that came with the phone. I'm going to order a 1800 mah for the Epic 4G Touch around Wednesday and see what happens. Everyone else seems to have done that, and from what I've been reading the battery fits.

One thing though: since updating the ROM after being on rooted Gingerbread FC09 forever: the phone is constantly HOT. Not piping hot, but noticeably hot.

So far the only thing new I've noticed is "Cell Broadcasts" which now appears under "Mobile Networks" . Wasn't there before.

Well I'm going to do things a little different...Once I get the battery, I will see what kind of change occurs. If it changes, I will do like you and stay on this monthly until maybe M4 or something major. If its the same, I will go to Baked Bean. If its still the same, I will Odin back to Gingerbread. I know there are ROMs out there that "mimic" Gingerbread (for lack of a better word), but the GPS is screwy on those.

I plan to stay with Epic 4G until someone successfully roots the Samsung Stratosphere II and puts up a how-to guide. That phone seems like the true successor to the Epic 4G. I think its the same dimensions and everything (I'm curious if the Epic 4G game gripper fits it as well).
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
Hmm I wonder what's up with mine. It's getting really annoying have to re-set up my account.

How do you get the monthlies to appear in updater? I have mine set to all versions but the only thing that ever appears is the nightlies. No M3 or experimental builds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cybershawngates:
That happened to me going from a nightly (CM10.1-20130316 nightly to the M3 build). had to reflash gapps o/w google store wouldn't open. Wasn't too bad but yeah to re-register google account. Working great now. M3 seems like a keeper barring any further developments.

set it to stable new and it will show (turn phone sideways cuz the M3 looks like a nightly - i.e it will have a date format simialr and you may confuse it wtih a nightly if it file name gets cut off in portrait mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dfrhodes:
Getting super battery life with the past few builds...20hrs or more. Best ever I think.

I have 2 Anker 1800mAh batts, both relatively new. At $10ea I don't see any reason to prove how long a 3yr old stock 1500mAh battery will last :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] tommer12:
Quick summary for me:

Was running 10.0 and it was great. One day though, my wireless started to stop working. I booted into the old original multiboot Sprint ROM and tested wireless fine. Time to bit the bullet and load 10.1.

Loaded it on my SD card and booted into the three finger. Wiped the device clean, loaded 10.1, loaded Gapps, rebooted. Took a few minutes but came up.

Basically I didnt need app backup. Google restored everything automatically. We will see if I have problems or not. I was not using that much anyways. (Touchdown and Cisco items). Setup gmail, google account and back in business.

Sure enough, Wireless works again.

One thing I cant figure, how do I get voicemails to dump into gmail. I was using the voicemail app and it sucked, but I lived with it.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Okay I just gotta ask, and I guess this is the best thread to do so: the Epic 4G came with a 1500mAh battery, and almost everyone in this thread has mentioned getting an 1800mAh battery or the 1800mAh battery that's really for the Epic 4G Touch but can still fit (a very snug fit, but it fits) in the Epic 4G. :eek: Okay, why doesn't this make the phone like...blow up or get fried? Super noobish, probably, but I kinda want to know to ease fears of me walking around with, essentially, a ticking time bomb. Or ruining my chances to have kids cause its more radioactive than normal. Okay maybe not (well I hope not), but I changed the ROM and my phone gets hot, so I can only imagine what putting a battery for another phone (much less another brand besides Samsung) will do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] UPdownLoAD:
You need to download and run Google Voice app. During the setup process, it will give you the option to use Google Voice for voicemails. Then, I'm assuming, you already have notification to let you know you have a new VM, via Gmail.

The battery has compatible cells with the D700 Epic and the D710 Epic Touch. Even though you could fit, say a Samsung Captivate battery, it is technically incompatible. Too much to go in depth over, just trust all us 1800'ers :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I've been running only 1800's since I got the phone a lil over a year ago. I pound my batteries mercilessly. If one were going to impersonate a roman candle, it would be one of mine. Ironically, I showed my kids how to start a fire with my 1500 and some thin wire.

Just wanted to post my experience with M3 so far.

It's great! Best rom on epic 4g by far.

If I use audible though, things run slowly. A quick reboot fixes. I also have trouble with voice mail showing in call history. Sometimes I can listen to them, mostly I end up opening Voice.

Finally, I'm still using a pair of original batteries, 1500's, and I easily get 12 hours per with typical use. (lots of texting, some surfing, some word games, and solitaire whenever I visit the 'office.')

Thanks to bbelos and all you contributing members who share their considerable knowledge so freely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
this is upstream bug, you can use older Gallery2.apk from 0413 and older or update to newer 0417 after the fix being merged.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tommi_han:
Really? Thank goodness.... I thought I was going crazy:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
lol sounds like a gang. The 1800'ers. :laugh:

Well I'm sold, I'm just trying to decide between Samsung and Anker at this point. And to keep this from being thread drift, again, my battery life nose dived when I switched to this ROM. I now cannot even keep it off the charger without it going from 100% to 80% in, what, 15 to 30 minutes now. I'm guessing with a newer, better battery it'll be okay, but if it stays the same...well Baked/Slim Bean here I come! So...fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed: But yeah, still gotta decide between Samsung and Anker. They're about the same in price, so I'll probably just get a Samsung 1800mAh

Beyond the aforementioned battery issue, no other cause for concern with the newest monthly. I get notifications for Facebook now. Don't know if that was cause of a bug or whatever, but...yeah. As well as the email client.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VAnative21:
Can ROM Control be used with CM 10.1? Wanted to change clock numeral colors, etc... also wanted to know is the a fix for the Gallery crashing sometimes and all the time when trying to use camcorder? (Already tried clearing cache, data and using an old Gallery .apk from previous build)

I upgraded from the 02/15 build in the OP to the M3 build and now VVM is gone. I re-flashed the vvm installer, but it still won't show up. My other issue is that the bottom edge of widgets get cut off if the gridsize of the homescreen has been changed from 4 rows to 5. A prime example is the cLock widget; the high/low temp is unreadable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Get a sammy 1800mah and you won't be disappointed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VaderSS:
The voltage of the battery is the same. It just keeps the phone running a little longer, actually, a lot longer if you are replacing a 2+ year old 1500. Basically, the 1500 vs 1800 is like the difference between a 15 and an 18 gallon gas tank on a car. One just holds a bit more than the other.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
For the crashing when using the camcorder try flashing the JB Bigmem Patch http://goo.im/devs/didhiy/sph-d700_cm-10.1/JB_BigMem_26-aug-12.zip

[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
You tried the experimental build I posted a number of pages back that has the car dock audio fix? The nightlies won't have working car dock audio. Also, no need for the market app, just make sure to enable dock audio in the advanced settings.

OK, I have just merged a patch that allows me to attach a video with the "Capture video" option. I can't test sending it because my epic is not activated, but it gets added to the message. It's obviously lower quality because it is using 176x144 resolution, but it allows me to record about 20 seconds worth of video before it reaches the size limit.

BTW, the message size limit is capped at 1MB which is why you are unable to attach other videos. Even at 480p, a 10sec video is 3-4megs. I just took a quick 2sec 480p video that ended up at ~600k, and I was able to attach it to a message, but that hardly seems worth it. If you need to send larger/better quality videos, use email. :p

tl;dr

Look for a fix for the MMS video capture in the next nightly. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Oh, and I am not using bigmem patches. They should not be necessary if you are on stock.

Alright a little update. I bought two Anker batteries, 1800mAh with charger. Battery life seems about the same, but charging is quicker.

Open to suggestions. Otherwise I think I need to downgrade back to Gingerbread. Unless there's a ROM that's identical or close enough to Gingerbread without GPS problems. If not, I'll have to ODIN back to stock and root again to get rooted Gingerbread FC09 back.

I still want the Stratosphere II, but since there's no movement in the development area on that phone, and since I'm going to Mexico soon, I may just get a Captivate Glide to use when I'm there and just use regular ol' rooted Epic 4G when I'm here. Though I could get Straight Talk/Net10 and use the Glide in both locations (Straight Talk/Net10 SIM in the US, Movistar SIM in the Mexico). But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Thanks for the work on this mod, devs! :)
