Since it seems so many are having trouble with flashing a JB modem, shouldn't the Flashing Instructions say something specific about it?

Instead of:

Shouldn't it instead say:

Download TBSGS4 ROM check MD5sum (Place in root of external sd card. Internal will be formatted and all data lost)

Download your choice of JB Modems (GB27 recommended) and place it in the root directory of your external sd card - Modems found here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1764210

Flash EL26+CWM kernel/recovery here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1662295

then boot into that recovery Hold Power and volume up while booting up

Once in recovery run 2x wipe all script by TD here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2077277

This way you can fully wipe everything to include the /Preload folder as well

Flash TBSGS4 ROM

Flash JB Modem (using instructions found in Post #4) (This step MUST BE done or you will not have 3g service). Or you could give specific instructions, since Agats kernel with recovery is already included, so nobody has to really flash AGAIN just to get into recovery to flash the modem.

Reboot....you will have to wait almost 6 to 7 mins for it to boot. (be patient)

Set everything up.

Something along those lines, or, flash rom, reboot, then, reboot into recovery (press and hold power button for a couple seconds until you see the options menu, select Recovery to reboot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache/etc., flash JB modem... reboot...)?

In multiple places throughout the entire thread the instructions are repeated, but say simply "flash el26+CWM, boot into recovery, run 2x wipe script, flash rom, reboot", without ever mentioning the need to flash a JB Modem (even though there are also plenty of posts about that too, but most people are not going to read a 400+ page thread until after they have issues, and even then they'll probably just post the same question, without searching.

No offense intended to anyone, and not trying to criticize, I'm just trying to make it easier for anyone that is trying to jump to a new ROM and really needs a more step-by-step, 1, 2, 3, instruction to make it work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adam.kelly2:
I should have read the instructions better. I've been flashing for years and I sometimes just do what has worked in the past.

This ROM is amazing, btw. Its the best ROM I've used and its not even close.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
The OP says alot, and was very well done. And everything you say is said in the section that says:

"If you are new to JB please read this as it should clear up most of the questions you may have.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
So I made an app for the E4GT that I think some people will want to use, and some people will want to direct other people to use. Basically, it's an app + tutorial for getting back any of those beloved stock ROM apps that someone might want but the ROM developer did not want. One person's bloatware is another person's Yahoo Stock Widget ;) I made it noob-friendly, and built a help video into it. I made it for my own forthcoming project, but there are so many requests about this or that stock app, and needs to explain how to go about getting it back, or someone to just upload it again and again, that I think it might be good for others to be aware of my new little app too.

Here is the thread. Cheers! :)

I'm only making this post on the two threads for the two ROMs I go between using. Hope you don't mind. It's because of the questions I see people asking on here that I'm sharing it with folks who use your ROM. Peace.

@ SPElectronics

The way I set the op up if for if someone is on TW JB already. That's why I created the 4th post and linked in the OP, to help users make that step to a TW JB base ROM. With a OC odin a user will have everything required(modem and partitioning). I try to make the OP instructions as easy to follow but I do believe it has everything needed.

Quick question, I am getting "Camera Failed" when ever I open the stock camera app. I flash back to stock by PC Odin and the camera works just fine. Is there something that I may have done wrong or possible hardware issue. I flashed Rom through EL29, then tried EL26 and both times the camera fails. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Try this, wipe cache and dalvik, flash, then reboot

Yes I did, sorry. Edited my previous post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sclarktay4:
Thanks for the response. I already tried to go to app manager and wipe data for camera and gallery. Rebooted to the same, camera failed. I will try the zip from previous post but it will probably be a hardware failure. This is a replacement through sprint so that is most likely the case. I am sure it has nothing to do with the ROM.

addition: it must be my hardware cause it happened on recalked and kobridge GB27.

So yesterday while i work i notice that my phone wasnt really loading things that had to do with the internet. I dont get a lot of reception at work so im always connected to wifi the same connection that my laptop has. Today the same thing.. I figured it had to do with the mobile network settings (mobile overwriting the wifi connection.) so when i clicked on mobile networks/connection optimizer nothing happens and it freezes. Is that normal or is it just my phone? any help how to check the mobile settings?

I do have mobile data checked. (enable data access over mobile network)

see that blue bar underneath? It's solid, which means your phone is not going to sleep. Which means an APP is keeping it awake. Also how much screen on time? Cuz it says that 74% of the battery use is your screen... 4 hours of screen on time is not bad at all.

Ok, Well.

1st I would download better battery stats. Run it for a bit and find the app that is keeping your phone awake.

Along with how the ROM was flashed.

2nd Look at different tweak packages to flash or change your kernel settings

3rd If its still bad, there are plenty of other ROMs for you to flash.

Your post about battery life sucks doesn't help anyone. A better explanation of your set up, what you do with your phone, have auto-sync on or maybe even a bad battery. Having these ready, we can help you figure your problem out. I can't tell what you do with your phone. Nor by your SS see much detail.

well , for starters . i have an extended battery, 3500 mah ($8.00 delivered to your door within a week, no lie) as opposed to 1800 stock the majority of my time is spent on my home wifi.. btw when im at home wifi is on 100% of the time, the real time you save bat tery is "deep sleep" where ive spent days and days trying to improve my battery life (ask g_ding lol.. ) when i finally got it to where my phone would lose 1% in around 5 hours. in deep sleep of course. while i slept... Testing init.d scripts in many many combinations .. till i found ComaDose 1.0 ;) marked improvement in battery, then adding a GPS fix (for quicker lock) batt stats wipe, (redundant and placebo, but still) asked to use Kobridge Ondemand script, then asked Exit_only for a few of his scripts.. etc etc.. Long story Longer. lol its a combo of many things.

that was taken W_O_R with ComaDose 1.3 on Stock Kernel, Ondemand and noop. which is the most generic way to describe it.. diff apps behave differently, greenify, deepsleep batt saver, etc etc.. (was running none of those btw.) sorry for the length.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
There are many factors, such as... Using the phone! Lol. I can't help it. Four hours screen on with that depletion is decent. Also, although I appreciate "deep sleep" when we don't need the phone awake for any reason, but... "Look! My phone was in deep sleep for three straight months one charge." lol.

i think i might know the answer to this but i recently bought a new radio for my jeep. it has a feature called app radio. i am trying to use an app call arliberator or app radio liberator. this will allow me to have a complete scaled mirror of my phone on my screen with full touch controls. however i am having some issues with that app. i am working with the developer on it. i posted a log cat and what he can see right now is an app called Power Widget seems to be causing the service to crash. from what i can tell i think this has to do with the extended toggles. is there anyway to disable this to test it out? i dont see it as a app in titanium to freeze. i think i might have to try stock rooted but really dont want to. you dont happen to have a version of this rom without the 3minit settings do you? i can post the log in question if you want to see it. thanks for any help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
The extened custom toggles are controlled by 3mint thru the lidroid.apk in system/framework.

Did you try just setting the toggles to stock?

If you need I can send you a flashable zip to undo the AIO mod so you can stay on this ROM but still be stock.

I'm not sure about power widget tho....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I still morph everything that requires simple insertion. Plus you can combine the morph insertion method with flashing full apk/jar files. Insertion files go in MORPH folder and full apk/jar files go in XTRAS folder. Makes it a little more universal. Still not sure about permissions. Flashing normally requires setting permissions manually for most items. Using morphing, I've never had to set permissions manually through the script yet.

Still seeing occasional failed flashes required wiping cache before flashing a morph.zip though. Not sure why.

Edit: Oh, morphing does not support preload partition too though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
I didn't know about being able to morph a full apk. I knew the morph didn't support preload....which sucks. I guess its me but I can't help but wipe caches before I flash a morph as well.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Google maps is in preload folder. That's where it has been since the first JB build. The update for it is in data/app. I can update it so it stays in preload.....but its going to "move" again next time there is an update. So, I'm not sure what you're really asking/telling me.

And its killing your battery because its in data/app? Do you have google location services on while you're not using maps?

Turn it off when you're not using it.

So its google maps and brightness killing your battery?

Your brightness bar is controlled by the 3mint app. Make sure it's checked (uncheck and check if you have to) and it will stay in the pull down notification area.
