Not much. Just updated PA sources.

Didn't pa switch from cm to aosp? Sorry haven't been following much aosp with all the tw leaks recently. Might flash when I get home.

It's in the process of switching, but I built off of a source still using cm (utacka).

Thanks for offering to upload it, but I'll just switch over to hazedabeast's ReVolt instead until he/she gets permission to support this ROM. I was hoping to use a pure version of PA, but not if it's not actively supported.

Does anyone have the PAPrefs fix zip? My Settings FC every time I try to open Paranoid Settings and I can't seem to find any way around it. I've replaced the ParanoidPreferences.apk with one from 2.57 Utacka and even 2.54, but no luck. I've checked the permissions (0644) and I can't think of anything else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
If you want to, go for it. I can't remember if what's currently in the official pa vendor that I added to is correct and compiles, but be ready for lots of different errors/bugs since this isn't a nexus device. Good luck :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I got rid of most of the compiling errors with the adds and removes but you may have to add and remove some other repos. Yes, it is official in the sense that I successfully had the d710 added to the official pa vendor files, but I'm not part of the pa team.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hazedabeast:
I jus started compiling and I got 2 error already :'(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] untz1456:
Try some of the personal repos for pa it worked for me like https://github.com/PALegacy/platorm_manifest but its 4.2.2

And this is 4.3 https://github.com/linuxman94/manifest they are both pa

And if u get permission denied when syncing its the ssh u need to do this

Also the epic 4g touch is not on the pa source anymore

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] turbosr123:
I've noticed that too.

Thank you sniper for taking over this rom and answering all my questions regarding the EL26 CWM I was having trouble finding. So far I got the rom flashed again so that's a plus but I still am having random FC and rebooting.

Here are the steps I took to get here so far:

-flashed back to stock with one click odin EL26

-flashed the stock EL26 CWM by chris41 (thanks)

-formatted, wiped, cleared cache and delvik

-flashed the 2.56 PA rom

-flashed the gapps recommended version (thanks Sniper for that as well)

So thought all was good but kept having these random reboots almost every time I opened the screen and opened an app.

-read the whole thread here and found the PA preference fix and just flashed that as well after clearing cache and delvik

Been on it for a few minutes and so far so good... I am so happy this thing is back to working with no reboots.

Everyone involved with this rom has done an amazing job, wanna thank you so much for all the work contributed. ; )

I was having issues with the 2.54 and .53 where video camera didn't work at all and had random gallery FC and trebech lagging and FCing as well.

Can't say it's 100% smooth just yet. I'll be setting all my DPIs again for all the apps and testing how everything works for a day or 2 and will get back to thread with a report. I can't live without my phone working right it's insane. It's like my assistant for my brain, without I'm all outa whack! Haha!

Last but not least I tried backing up my PA preferences but after a new flash the restore bin is empty! any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks again for all involved, you guys do amazing work, and thanks to Sniper again for the replies and help, you made my day bro. : ) got my device working now.

:good: :laugh:

Could anyone tell me why the Security tab in settings opens every time I plug my phone in to charge? It happens if I am using car adapter or wall outlet. I cannot figure out why..It does not interfere with the operation of the phone, it's just annoying. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
just make your lockscreen dpi less than or equal to your status bar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] turbosr123:
Unfortunately I'm still getting random reboots and FC! Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?

The weird thing is, I was getting the same Force closes and reboots even after odin back to stock EL26!

What can it be causing all this.

I haven't had a single fc or reboot running since sniper's release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
Then it is most likely your battery. Pop it out and check if there Is any budge on either side then spin it. If it keeps spinning for a bit on a ceramic or smooth surface, you need a new battery. I neede one a month ago after having the same problem as you. No more problems since :)

Troubles

I've just read an enormous amount of information over the past 4 hours but I'm still finding myself looking for more answers to new questions as I go on. I tried to find everything on my own as I don't want to be an annoying noob or get attacked by anyone in the community haha.

Where I am at the moment:

I had just rooted by flashing Agats kernel and flashing super user. Now after this is where everything slips away from me. I see EL26 is recommended for the PACrom and I'm not sure what other versions provide what or are better for any reason so I was just going with the recommended. I bought Mobile Odin off the market to try and flash EL26CWM over Agats kernel (is that even possible, or should I be stock?) however, Odin doesn't recognize my device.. I'm lost. The only guide I found for flashing EL26 was through mobile odin. I also tried through my pc with the TAR.MD5 file I downloaded. No go. So I basically have a basic S2 D170 and it's killing me! I had great success flashing with the prevail and marquee, but the guides were organized better. If anyone can at all assist me on getting this rom flashed by linking where to go, or even inpput of their own, it's greatly appreciated. Many thanks to anyone that can help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
You can flash an el26 zip with your current recovery or odin/mobile odin it. They require tar files. Download the el26 cwm kernel zip, flash it, reboot into recovery, then proceed with flashing the rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
I don't have the links at, but you should use the el26 one click restore, then use the auto-root tool or one-click for cwr, then start the flash of this rom.. I will update with links sbortly

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
If you use mobile Odin its pretty easy I've never had it not recognize my device, try to reinstall it. For regular Odin hold vol- and power until download mode comes uo(hit vol+ to enter it) then connect your phone to pc (nake sure you have the drivers) and you should see it pip up as a com port (COM3 or something similar) make sure only reset is checked and you should be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShadyM80:
Thanks everyone for a speedy, helpful reply. I just flashed EL26 over the Agat kernel I had previous flashed and I'm currently stuck on the S2 load screen.

Edit:

Odin back to Agat and phone booted. Going to try this again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
Don't flash with agats repack its buggy, put ur phone into Odin mode and hook up to a pc, Odin el26stockcwm.zip or el29directboot.zip and flash from one of those recoveries
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShadyM80:
I got the EL26 from Chris41g site. I can't post a link due to being a new user, but I see on here everyone has thanks to him next to the links.

I'm using Odin to flash it but each time I do, I get stuck on the Samsung SII boot screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
If you only flashed the kernel that will happen because you're on a jellybean rom with a gingerbread kernel, if you want to use the recovery hold vol+ and power until it boots into recovery. From there you can flash whatever your little heart desires :) good luck as I'm headed to bed. Hope all goes well

Edit: just read your first post and realized you're doing this to flash pacman. So once you boot into recovery wipe data/factory reset-flash the rom and gappa-then wipe cache and dalvik (under advanced) then and you should be good to go. Also make sure you're not on a jellybean modem, I usually use fi03 but it's subjective to a lot of things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShadyM80:
Thanks for all your help and time trying to assist me. Seems I couldn't get it going. One thing i noticed when i went into my about phone is the baseband stay FI22 even though im flashing EL26 and FI27 kernels. Not sure if that's of any help. Also everytime I flash the rom a fews things go like it about to work then aborts. I'm going to get lost in the forums a bit longer and see if I can find anything to help this flashing process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
modems (baseband) are separate so that is expected and ok.

just do this:

download rom and gapps to sd card.

download this to sdcard or pc depending if u want to use mobile odin or pc odin

http://shabbypenguin.com/k0/ecm/E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5

flash it. in pc odin it goes in the pda slot.

next boot you have cwm.

in cwm flash rom and gapps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShadyM80:
Much appreciated. Followed your steps as stated and same thing, installation aborted. The two errors I see in CWM when trying to install are these "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") ==" and at the end just before it aborts installing "E:error in /sdcard/pa_d710-2.56_12.16_v2.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.

Been going all night at this and honestly its been a great learning experience. Very thankful for every ones time and effort in helping me along the way.

Just to clerify, I have a Galaxy S2 SPH-D710 through boost.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
Are you flashing from internal memory or external SD card? If it's the external card....try seapping that card for a different one and try again. It kind of sounds like your external memory card is bad or is going bad. Or it could be that your downloaded file is corrupt.

Try these...

1. New memory card

2. Redownload and attempt to flash again <-- I'd do this first as it's the easiest. Also, it's best to download on a computer and transfer to the sdcard.

Good Luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShadyM80:
I'm going to try and redownload the said files in the OP. I also have a 32g class 10 SD card on the way. I had a feeling this SD card might be on its way out. Thanks for the input.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrWhite1127:
Okay, so I have the rom installed and set up and everything is running flawlessly. However....sorry if this is a dumb question but is there a way to make the settings menu like normal (phone layout). I have big thumbs and I always wind up pressing other things and it gets annoying. I can live with it but Id love it if I could change it. Thanks everyone for the hard work put into this rom and this is by far the best JB rom out there.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] turbosr123:
Yes I have, actually this battery is only a month old. My original battery had issues and a lump so I bought a replacement.

I was really hoping it would be the battery but I tried another and it still does the random reboots. I can't stand this it's so annoying!It

It's done it on pacman, PA rom, and even on the stock odin EL26 rom!!! It's not the battery, so what can be causing this.

I have noticed my lock button doesn't function right... it doesn't respond when I want to lock the screen and for the most part when I press it to lock screen it brings up the power down and reboot option screen! Could it be the button that is glitching maybe from a drop that could've caused it to go out of whack! Only thing that seems to make sense at this point. Another thing is when the phone is asleep and I wake it and unlock then go to messaging or any other app it's quick to reboot... BUT when I open it again after the reboot it is all good I can be on it using all apps for half an hour straight and it doesn't reboot at all! Makes me wonder if it's a kernel or voltage issue as it reboots on a quick wake all the time.

I need some expert advice from here, I am so lost guys.

What can I do to get this pinpointed and fixed?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
A broken lock button could definitely cause random reboots if it thinks it's being held down for 8 seconds rather than one click which would hard reboot the phone.
