[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Yeah, I tried to make ADW my main launcher, it backfired...

This happened like the day after I made the last post about this, I'm just now getting around to talking about it cause I happened to look in Root Explorer and saw something curious:

In Root Explorer, I have two Trebuchets:

/data/app

&

/system/app

I'm guessing I should delete one of them, as its now showing up when I go to Settings/apps and taking up space. I'm thinking of deleting it from Settings/app and that will delete it from one of those root explorer folder and that will make the other file in the other folder take over? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Apex with Cube in effect

Plus pinch
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
What, no love for Holo Launcher? Holo +1!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Doesn't have lines though. :laugh: I think all of them have the cube effect but only ADW has it with lines like Trebuchet's cube effect.

I don't think I've tried that one, actually.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I like it better than Nova, but I don't remember trying the other launchers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Alright

Launcher discussion aside

, again, I have two Trebuchets:

/data/app

&

/system/app

Which one should I delete?

As for my bluetooth issues...I did some experimenting today. I can use bluetooth to transfer files between phones, but I can't get my Bluetooth to recognize when its being searched for by computer. I'll put it on discovery, I'll set my computer to search for Bluetooth devices, then the Bluetooth on my Epic 4G will shut itself off then back on, as if its trying to avoid being discovered by the computer. :confused: As soon as it does that, the computer immediately responds "No Bluetooth devices found".

So if I want a file on my Epic 4G, what I wind up doing is this:

Use my computer to transfer via Bluetooth to my Samsung Gravity 2 T469.

Use my Samsung Gravity 2 T469 to transfer via Bluetooth to my Epic 4G.

So for some bizarre reason, on the version of CM that I have, Bluetooth is "allergic" to the Bluetooth search on my computer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
As far as the two Trebuchets go, this is what I think is going on. The one in System/app is what was flashed. The one in data/app is an update from the play store. I usually delete the one from system/app and move the one from data/app over to system/app since it is a newer version. If you do this, you'll need to update the owner and permissions on the one you moved from data/app to system/app. I use root explorer to accomplish this task.

As far as bluetooth goes, I'm afraid I can be of no help. Bluetooth has been wonky for me on every ROM past android 4.1 (CM10). Sorry
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
The problem though is that Trebuchet is only available with CM, meaning it couldn't have been an update from the Play store (plus I'm sure I'd remember if it was). Beyond that, the rest of your advice sounds good, plus I remember that's where ADW was (data/app) so I think we're on the right path. Thanks! :good:

Its a weird Bluetooth issue, though. I can pair it with any phone device that has Bluetooth functionality, just not my computer. Also hooking the phone up to my computer doesn't work anymore, I usually have to take the SDCard out and put it in a USB adapter if I want to transfer files. I can seem to do anything directly with the Epic 4G anymore, there has to be a middle man. As far as transferring files go. Other than that...good ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Alright I remember what happened now: I tried to install ADW, it backfired (I don't remember what happened), and I used Titanium Backup to reinstall Trebuchet. When you reinstall an app it puts it in the data/app folder. Oooooh...

So I deleted it from data/app, and when I look in Settings/App, Trebuchet is still there, but instead of 12mb its now 1mb. :good:

Anyone else have an issue on 10.1.3.1 where the mic button will not show up in the soft keyboard? I am running the 20130812 gapps for voice search, and have the option set to show on keyboard. Appreciate all helpful suggestions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Any reason the nightly downloads no longer work? Keep getting "Not found" when I try to download on bbqdroid.org.
[Epic 4G Android Development] UPdownLoAD:
Try here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=epicmtd
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Those don't show the nightlies for CM10.1 that bbqdroid shows. Those are solely CM11 nightlies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
There are no more cm10.1 nightlies. All you need is the stable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnseeking:
Does the stable have options to control backlight duration on the capacitive buttons?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Oh, odd. No plans on fixing bluetooth for CM10.1 then? 10.1 runs faster and takes less resources than 11, so I went back. Bluetooth issue is a bit annoying though.

What are those builds listed on bbqdroid then?

Edit: Nevermind. Those are changes for CM11 nightlies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I think we all found out pretty early into the build that BT issues were not going to be fixed due to limitations in the original code. I would follow it back, but I'm a fancy man with an S4 now, thus cannot be bothered. I stay for the lurks though, much as a king will watch his subjects from a tower...
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
You dare denounce the glory that is physical keyboards?

:mad:
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
As attached as I was to the physical kb, I had to move on to multicore technology. When I see how much faster and smoother the same apps run, I am willing to trade the slider for it. Plus, I handed it down to my wife. If it crapped out tomorrow, I think I would ebay another one just because I have so many accessories for it (screen protectors, car dock, spare batteries). If you only understood the POWER of the dark side I guess I'm saying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] UPdownLoAD:
It truly is an obsolete phone now, as much as I hate to say. Sprint is deploying 800 MHz for voice nationwide; the Epic was Sprint's last phone that didn't have the radio to pick it up. In WiMax markets, Band 41 LTE is active (or available by putting your Sprint Spark phone into LTE-Only mode); why do 6.5mb/s when you can do 70? Those 2 features alone make an upgrade worth while.

That said, to type what I just did, I had to correct my spelling/auto complete 17 times. I do miss my QWERTY, but those features trump.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Do you swype? I have to say that in a little over a month, the predictive engine has all of my cursing and other grammar foibles down pretty well. My wife only needs a phone t talk and text. I'm not sure she knows it even HAS a slide out kb lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I can see that. I ran the GS4 for a little while and it was a lot faster for certain things, but it wasn't that big of a deal to me. Honestly, this rom seems to run the fastest for me out of all the roms I've tried.

Rumors speculate that a Droid 5 is coming out in fall, which would be when I move. Really all I'm holding out hope for :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnseeking:
Total noob question, but is there any way we can fiddle with something on the Epic's software side to make it work with the 800 MHz band? I'm on Ting, which piggybacks on Sprint's network, and my voice coverage (especially AT MY DANG HOUSE) is beyond lousy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] UPdownLoAD:
Sorry, no. It doesn't have the hardware to pickup 800mhz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr_You:
The only way to activate 800Mhz service (in this case 850Mhz) on the Epic 4G is to use the Roam Control app to force roaming on Verizon. I'm on the edge of Sprint 1900Mhz service and I use this on my Epic 4G activated on Ting and it works great. In general its probably the best way to go for now til Sprint has 800Mhz more widely deployed. EDIT: For this reason I'm also hesitant to upgrade my phone because if it (Nexus 5) can't force roaming then I may be stuck with crappy 1900Mhz service.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr_You:
Good news! Just read on the Roam Control home page that it does support the Nexus 5:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] faraon7:
Hi everyone and Happy Christmas !

I have the following tablet.

And i`m quite happy with it cause it is a very responsive, good resolution etc. I`m wondering is there a way to port Jelly Bean for this tablet.

Now it is a with ICS. There is no company website for Turbo-x and i don`t have a support or customer service.

If its posible to port Jelly Bean, what i should change, like screen resolution, drivers or something else at all? Is there a big difference between ICS and JellyBean?

Thanks !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MikeCriggs:
It's very doubtful without source and factory images. Try a Nexus 7 :).

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

Well, that was your mistake, not the recovery's :D

Try TWRP by installing with GooManager, it's safe and easy and in my opinion worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dewadg:
I am feeling that too, it can be fixed easily (Actually not fixing, just avoiding) after entering download mode, quickly press the volume up button. I often get that problem too

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
Yes its have a lot of attention, but I prefer to use non-touch recovery because I have a big thumb and I don't want to mess anything just because I accidentally pressed wrong things with my thumb

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Kreaz:
+1. Also, I have noticed that TWRP is slower than CWM in backup and wipe. I wonder if there is CWM Touch (oops, offtopic)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dees_Troy:
TWRP has a swipe to confirm most actions. It's pretty hard to accidentally do something yet still very easy to use.

is it safe to flash cm9/cm10 with this recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] buffo1987:
Yes it is
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kabychow:
It just like cwm can flash custom ROM :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
but arco said

only use cwm 5 or cwm 6 to flash or we may brick our phone

so somebody tried to flash cm9/cm10 with this recovery already?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] buffo1987:
You can use it without any problems for cm9 + cm10 (+ gingerbread + cm7 + mods), simply for every mod u could flash with cwm. But it is much more comfortable.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
What Arco meant is that you shouldn't flash a Rom with the original android recovery, and because this recovery is new, when he first made cm9 the only recovery which was trusted to work Is his CWM.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
sorry guys

can you guys give me a full instruction to flash it via emulator? like..step by step.. sorry LOL im too stupid, help please? :) thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] doctor007:
Yup... i think so too... flashing roms is sensitive matter ... buttons using recovery CWM ensures zero accidental presses... unless ur mind is wondering somewhere else then even cwm cant save u...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dees_Troy:
I've mentioned before and I'll say it one last time:

TWRP uses a swipe to confirm for most actions. This means that it's more than just a tap to get it to install a zip, wipe, backup, restore, etc. You have to physically swipe a slider control across 2 or 3cm to get it to perform most actions which eliminates accidental presses. Try it out and you'll see what I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
Just Installed it an here is my reply ;)

1- The interface is Great, there was a logo before entering CWM (under the W's logo) here it just shows the normal CM logo

2- It has many options, more than CWM and the touch is really good :D

3- The Fix Permissions is a LOT faster than CWM, so fast that i want to ask if it does the same as CWM??

4- I'm lovin' it :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] wong.izzat:
I was using CWM for a while until TWRP came into our Galaxy W. I had few tries on TWRP and I had summarized into:

1. User friendly features such as: touch screen, swipe

2. File naming when backing up. This is useful when I know what are the backup for

3. Multiple files install up to 10

4.Built in File Manager, Terminal Command, ADB Sideload

etc.

Give it a try. I have been using TWRP to update Arco's CM9 & CM10 (both latest version)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
The nice part about being a Samsung user is that unless you kill the odin bootloader (loki, I think?) or delete a necessary partition block, you can recovery from almost anything. I use a TWRP recovery that I built, which works fine, but the one Dees_Troy whipped up didn't. It's likely due to the difference in build environments.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
is this for adb or emulator?

if i wanna flash it via emulator, what are the steps?? please help i will get my phone back this saturday after saying goodbye to it for 4 months!! thanks in advance :)

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

so what's the actual size? mine is 8.0 mb!

i downloaded it from here:

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/mako/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-mako.img

so i should download this, put this image into my internal sd, use the goo.... app, install script, then let it do it's work? thanks

PLEASE. i want full instructions :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
The 2.3.3.0 I made for the apache is 6.3Mb, so I think it varies to a degree.

As for flashing it, you are right.

adb shell dd if=/path/name.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p<partition>

Or the same from an on-device terminal without adb shell.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
um....don't get it..can u explain a bit? LOL thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
Sorry, forgot it was hotheabilly that asked, and you followed.

From adb based on hotheabilly's question:

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

From a terminal emulator it looks like

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

I actually have a CWM flashable script tool for this very reason, but the script points to a specific image name.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
so if i want to flash this twrp recovery, i have to put the image file. which is 7.98 MB (is it the normal one or the one which bricked the phone?)

then use the command "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13" in emulator

then type reboot? or sth?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
I'm not sure if that's the soft bricking one or not, I use a different platform with the same partition layout and chipset.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
