Hi, I'm new to Epic but I know my way around android.

First, I must commend you for this awesome work, I'm quite impressed.

Secondly, is it safe to update without wiping data? (or at least restore from nandroid)

It's tedious to constantly download nightly builds, restore apps, then install a new update.

Please inform me with more information - thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
It might be because I dirty flashed, but root works for me. Also, HALO can now be inverted and has new options like pausing the background app and notes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MicrosoftBug:
I think root only partially works. Install titanium backup and run it, then see what happens.

I followed these steps and it didn't work for me.

OK, I'm an idiot. How do I disable Halo so i can install an apk or 2.

Double tap it then drag it to the top of the screen where a red x will appear.

OK, that was easy. I've done some searching, but is there a guide anywhere on Halo? I'd like to get a better feel about it. And if not, how do I reenable it?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
It's inverted by the PAC in Black switch.

Double tap it and drag it to the X to exit halo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Speaking of the pib switch, is there a gapps package that gets regularly updated and fully inverts with the switch? Slim gapps mostly inverts, but gmail and a couple others have issues (at least for me, on a clean flash).

Sent from my Epic 4gTouch on PACman
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vsfh:
I ended up flashing WFTN, configuring Exchange, and flashing back to PAC. Works fine.

With the addition of Halo (which, to me, thus far, is just annoying), now I can actually save the 'Size' on email. It didn't save / stick before - now it does.

Huzzah.

Can anyone tell me how to get the regular YouTube app I don't like the tablet ui? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drkstr_yu:
You can try going to settings/hybrid properties/swipe to the right and change the youtube app settings. I think the regular layout is 240 for the size and 360 for the layout but I'm not running this rom so I can't check.

Severe battery inconstancy issues and massive rebooting

Hello,

I just finished updating to the final build, and I'm suffering from the following bugs:

1. Battery drain - 44% to 5% after a random reboot

2. Power off charging - shuts down after 40 seconds

3. Deep sleep - using CPU Spy, it claims it doesn't deep sleep.

Any advice or support would be nice, thanks :angel:

Never had a reboot yet I always use Mobil Odin,el26 kernel, clean cache, clean Dev but if you want to start fresh wipe data factory. Like I said been on this room for 3 days now no reboot. The only thing I'm having trouble with is gps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zanekills:
Thank you for your reply, that was quite prompt.

I would love to try this el26 kernel, but there are so many of them around I don't know which one is the most recommended.

If you can point me in the correct direction that would be perfect!

It's easy all you have to do is look up el 26 stock cwm tar md5 and also e4gt direct boot cwm and but them on you SD card down load mobile Odin from play store open mobile Odin tap kernel I keep all my mods in download so I click down load choice el26 or el2d then it will ask you to flash then you will enter safe recovery very important always make nan backup just in case good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eigokyoukan:
I don't know about auto inverting with the switch since I default to that no matter what but there is an awesome and regularly updated package I use called midnight inverted apps. I love it because it has a TON of inverted apps from Pandora and spotify, fb and twitter, ect. Looks and works great with this rom!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zanekills:
I'm in trouble.

I downloaded the el26 stock CWM tar md5 as you recommended but now I'm stuck on the yellow triangle.

The recovery sucks because it cannot reinstall my rom.

Can you please link me a tar of this rom's default kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pyro96:
That worked thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] svicenty:
Did you install the rom

---------- Post added at 04:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

Did you use mobile Odin not the recovery that came with the rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zanekills:
Oh wow, silly me. Okay unclear information.

As far as I understand now, the EL26 kernel is only temporarily used for the recovery (NOT TO BOOT).

Once the rom is installed - keep the default kernel.

Finally - I was able to reinstall the rom through the recovery by uploading it again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] svicenty:
Did you clean cache and Dev

---------- Post added at 04:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

This is the safest way to install Roms
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zanekills:
Just so I'm correct.

The EL26 Kernel is not meant for reinstalling OVER the PACman rom, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] svicenty:
If the yellow triangle is still there you can use triangle away on the play store

Yes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zanekills:
Thank you for helping me understand.

Secondly, Triangle Away (APK from XDA) fails?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
No there both the same, but the one from the play store will support the dev.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I've used it before on PACman fine, but not since the new kernel a couple of builds ago, so the app might have to be updated for us.

Also, I found and added a fix for the sideloading apps problem which will be in the next build. I'm still looking into the root issues...

My root seems to be fine so far, but then again, I dirty flashed. In fact, I don't think I did a clean flash since I came to this Rom lol. But anyone else having issues with the cm wifi tether? Mine is stuck on turning on.

I would try the other wireless tethers, but I have yet to get them to work lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Haris19:
Are the reboots an issue with this rom or could it be I'm making a mistake somewhere? Had this problem for the last 3 builds. Even when full wiping first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vsfh:
I've had an issue once before iwth my SD card going garbage on me, a long time ago when I started out here (I still think it was a ROM issue, as I was able to recover the full filesystem tree without issue...). Anywho, in the past 2 weeks or so I've started getting SD card issues. Card is corrupted and unreadable, card is blank, etc. I did a full copy, full format (not even a quick, but a full format), and then copied my data back on.

Just looking to see if anyone else is having sd card issues. I know I have some apps on my sd card, I'm also going to move them off.

Honestly I'm not really sure about the random reboots because it seems to be user dependent... Have you all tried clean flashing and not installing many apps to see if it resolves itself? I honestly have only received a random reboot once in a blue moon, usually when I haven't rebooted my phone in a long time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zanekills:
On the 3 day journey of fixing GPS...

I believe I come up with a solution for GPS:

1. Flash STABLE PACman (I don't know which one to flash however)

2. Wait for lock

3. Reboot recovery

4. DIRTY flash latest nightly

5. Profit

This in theory is the best workaround, the question is which PACman ROM is KNOWN to be stable?

I'll try that. It's usually when I'm doing something on the phone I'll get a soft reboot.

The Lightning Zap! kernel is still based on smdk4210, while the new Team-Hydra kernel is based on smdk4412. Thus lz is not recommend until it is in compliance with the kernel changes.

[MENTION=4145127]thomas.raines[/MENTION] has replied in the lz thread that he is working on lz kernel updates for both 4210 and 4412, as some older AOSP roms may not be updated to the new kernel for some time depending on dev activity. He has not posted an update yet, but I expect he will as soon as its ready for public consumption.

As always, avoid asking for etas, and understanding that rebasing the kernel is a huge change and new bugs need to be ironed out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I've also noticed the jagged icons on ROMs that have PA Prefs (rootbox, revolt) but with WFTN its no issue. So more than likely.. as MS said a ROM commit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carrsteven:
I haven't asked for any etas. I just stated that I tried a kernel different from the kernel packaged in the rom thinking that maybe that would fix the problem. That being said. I've had no issues running the lz kernel with the most recent version of PACman so while it may not be recommended it still works. I'm inclined to agree with MicrosoftBug.

The recovery that comes with the ROM is also safe to flash ROMs with, all CM kernels are, though its your choice to use EL29 it will still work

Since a new kernel is being used, I'd advice to backup your apps and do a clean flash.

What do you mean by clean flash? Like go back to EL29 directboot kernel and flash the rom like normal or would just backing up apps through titanium backup, wiping data, cache, dalvik on the roms original recovery and then flashing suffice?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
No, just make sure you wipe/factory reset.
