that happened to me when I flashed FL04. I had to reflash with the "RESTORE" OC.

@MoHo Thanks for the ROM! Do you know of any recovery kernels that are out or in the works?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I expect we'll see more once we have source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mvanwyk83:
Im using an unrooted Epic 4g touch with Sprint, I havent done anything with Android phones since my G1 (used to be a pro at all this). All the methods to rooting seem foreign to me now. Im on 4.0.4 and want to root with this rom. Can anyone help me understand how to obtain this goal? Thanks in advance for any advice given.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
This is a complete one click which includes root.

If you are asking the method on how root was obtained, there is a thread by Mattix on how to root fk23, which works on all jb leaks so far.

Some of my music is showing up twice. They show in /sdcard/music and /storage/sdcard0/music or something similar. This is in the Music app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elwood:
I have both the plantronics m50 and m20 both of them work fine on fl16, but then again they worked fine since fk23. Although the m20 doesn't play music thru the Bluetooth the m50 does
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arehm:
Songbird does it too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Since jb leaked, there have been mentions of file directories and contents not showing correctly, not showing at all and/or double listings.. FL16 was noted by RWilco of having more of a "normal" file view structure, but along with the re partitioning, the fact that some paths/directories are named slightly different, this may be the way it is until we see the actual OTA.. we still don't know how the update is going to play out on the masses of not losing data, application compatibility and a clean update..

Of course, I could be way off base but I'm taking this from everything that I've been reading or told or have noticed..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BIGCOIN:
Ok, I was able to find my sd card adaptor and I plugged it in my laptop and it says that the file system has been corrupted and the drive is not accessible. I keep getting a prompt to format the sdcard so it appears something went wrong during the update process. So everything on my sd card is fubared. Good things I have everything backed up but I would still like to find a solution to this and hopefully it doesnt whack out anyone elses sd card.

I went ahead and formatted the sd card and all is working fine now. I guess in the fuuture I will remove the sd before updating roms. No biggie, but a good learning lesson.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] defiant_nx74205:
Same here

I'm on a simple Bluetooth earpiece from Motorola (HS-550), and was having the problem described above since the first JB leak.

Thanks for confirming that I'm not crazy by reporting it as well ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mvanwyk83:
So going from complete stock unrooted could i just download this and run it as an OTA as described and become rooted? Or is there a process to all this? It seems since my G1 days, things are nohing like they were lol. My apologies if im sounding like an idiot with this stuff, its been a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
Yes it works. Maybe the earset is an older bluetooth version or sthg that sets off the bluetooth drivers from the leaks.

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Really... you tried phone calls with both?

I did a complete wipe install for FL04 and it wasn't working, so I'm not sure if this would be related to some android settings. Did you wipe at all since FK23?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romgnascher:
I did the no-data one click from FL04, and now I'm having problems with the alarm clock.

Locks up the phone and it starts heating up. Need to force reboot to regain functionality of the phone.

Anyone else seen this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gerstoscar:
First time going from fk23 to fl16 my wife's bluetooth didn't work... So i used restore thinking that something was screw up... But bluetooth still not working either on my wife's plantronics M55 (media sound is ok, phone calls bad) or my LG HBM-235... Any other suggestions on a fix or just waiting for the next leak? I hope this is not the OTA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
I ran into problems when I did a nodata flash. Flashing with restore (full wipe) always fixed any problems I've had.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romgnascher:
Yeah, figured as much. I'm away from home until the 2nd. Guess I'll bite the filter and flash the full wipe then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Don't apologize for asking questions. Not asking questions would put you in the idiot category.

Not flaming nor a negative comment - BluesRulez has a thread that will help you refresh the information. You can find that here.

Also, the op in the the link provided in the first post of this thread has detailed instructions on how to apply the one click.

Please read everything you can and catch up. And, as always, post if you have questions.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AzWizzard:
Anyone else having problems with the Camera / Gallery? About 1/2 the time I open either one, my phone freezes up.

I used the Full Restore / Root 1 click.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metayoshi:
From my experience, this has happened to my phone since the FF11 ICS leak. I have yet to actually try to find the root cause, but my main guess is because the phone is trying to cache all your images so that it can find the right one to put as the thumbnail of your most recent photo next to the shutter button. That's my guess mainly because the icon stays blank the entire time the phone is frozen. I learned to deal with it, but it is very frustrating.

As for a good gallery app, btw, I use quickpic. It's much lighter weight than the stock gallery, and it works really well ever since I got it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I'm not having bluetooth issues, connects to both call and media option and works fine. Although my bluetooth buttons for skipping and rewinding a song don't work on this build but its so minor I can deal with it. Also apps on sd no longer disappear from homescreen after a reboot with this build!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AzWizzard:
Thanks, I might try that app.

I have been on FK23 for a bit and tried FL04 for a little while and haven't had any problems with my camera and gallery until now...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AzWizzard:
OK, I still can't get my camera to work.

I re-flashed the ROM to see if that will help,.. Still not working.

Whenever I open my camera, the screen flashes and then you can see like you are going to take a picture. Only thing is, there are NO controls on the screen at all and none of the captive buttons work. I can't go back, use the Home button or anything. I have to pull the battery and reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
I had that problem a few times. What worked for me is to let it sit like that for a few minutes cause it was reading pics off of my sdcard. After a few minutes the camera finally came up. It never did that after an initial startup of the camera.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyleallen5000:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Using the one click link in the OP will leave you with JB/FL16, rooted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyleallen5000:
Thank you very very much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
I have experienced this problem twice in the first day I ran this ROM but nothing since then. Not sure what the cause might be.

Is Wifi Tether working for anybody? I can't seem to get the phone to broadcast the SSID, no matter what settings I fiddle around with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uNiXpSyChO:
I can get it to broadcast the SSID, but it doesnt connect. I even tried the 3.3pre version.

The Sprint Hotspot seems to work, havent tried it with 4G tho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Sprint Hotspot working in FL16

So far, I'm loving almost everything about this ROM. Here's why:

PROS

1. The One click with no data worked perfectly in upgrading me from an AOSP JB ROM.

2. Sprint HotSpot, camera, email and all my other apps working perfectly including Nova Launcher, Root Explorer, MXplayer, DishNetwork, JumpDesktop and Titanium (except for ROM backup/restore functions),. Even seeing major improvements in how Voicemail works.

CONS

1. I tried to change bootanimation but none of the JB versions i grabbed from my Nexus7 or TF700T are working so i just hear the Sprint sound and have a black screen during boot.

2. FL16 changes your CWM to stock version 3e which doesn't allow backups or restores. No CWM4, 5 or 6 currently available for FL16. From having read a few posts, reason could be that Samsung has changed partitions in this ROM.

3. Lots of bloatware, some of which can't be uninstalled.

BOTTOM LINE:

Despite the cons, I find this ROM to be faster, smoother, better than ANY other ROM I've had on my E4GT since the day I purchased it on 9/16/2011 and I've probably run 75 to 100 different ROMs over the past 15 months.

Glenn ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Good news for you! Most of your cons are fixable.

Boot Animation I haven't played with much but it is doable. I know timmetal6669 had some success with it and he's made some awesome boot animations. Maybe hit him up?

CWM for FL16 is still kinda tricky, we have the repacks that Agat did for us but without source they don't function at 100%. Although we might be seeing source here soon so we might have a fully operating kernel shortly.

Bloatware can be uninstalled. Once you're rooted install TB and use it to remove system apps. I've gotten rid of 99% of the bloatware on my phone.

But all in all I agree with you 100%! This is by far the best build Samsung/Sprint have put together!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordJummy:
I clean installed this 100% and it's been giving me random reboots. Sometimes after trying to use 4G, and other times when it's just sitting idle. I think FK23 was far more stable, and smoother in fact.

Running it rooted, full stock, full wipe, stock kernel & modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
Will the Sprint HotSpot work even if you don't pay Sprint for the service?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Restore anything by tb? I found my problem was an old version of Tapatalk. ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordJummy:
no :( I dont use any back up other than the built in play store restoring my apps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
So far running good...do ya have plans to make a deodexed tar?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Currently attempting. It flashes, boots but too many fc's. Phone, system, updater all fc. Launcher fails as well.. I haven't given up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Is it normal to lose 10% on idle over 9 hours?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
not sure if that is normal but JB does seems to hit the S2's battery pretty hard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
On GB it would not budge on idle
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
So you're saying slightly over 1% per hour? If so, of course that's reasonable. The phone will use SOME power while it's on, even at idle. Now 10% per hour would be cause for concern.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Only issue I see is that my shortcuts to settings keep disappearing

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Good point however on GB with background data off it would not move all night 10pm to8am would stay at 99%

Idk how to do the same in jb
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Well simply put, that was gb and this is jb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Lol that sounded what my ex would say Lol

I believe jb can match that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
We will see. Hope jb can match..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Anyone else losing shortcuts and widgets when rebooting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metayoshi:
I did lose an instagram shortcut a few days ago in a folder on my launcher, and I added it back in there. I rebooted once after for some reason, and then I had 2 instagram shortcuts in the folder, so I deleted one of them. I never found the root cause, but my guess is that it's a caching issue. Try clearing your cache or force stopping your launcher, and see if it helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
^^ This. Clearing cache is the common fix on the few issues I've seen people post about.

Use a direct boot or el26, clear cache, dalvik as well, may stop these disappearing issues.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wiggerbrand:
The restore option says (Wipes user data & USB Internal Memory).

I am looking to get an idea of what files this will affect.

For instance, will this wipe my pictures, videos? I am assuming files on external SD card are safe. What about files in /storage/sdcard0/?

Guess I'm just not sure what USB Internal Memory is...

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
It will wipe

all

device storage. The only safe spot is your external sdcard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
This means everything

except

your external SD card (The one you insert in the back of the phone) will be wiped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Weird cuz I dined from fk23 to fl16 and nothing was wiped I thought it was so I backed up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
The recovery command shows the following:

--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip
--carry_out=csc_factory
--wipe_data
--wipe_sdcard

Only thing that I can think of is that the last command would be failing.

Again, this may be due to the fact it's designed as an ICS to JB update.

(Or it's not finding the /sdcard mount and so it cannot wipe)

...And as a reminder, I only include this on restores. "Nodata" versions skip this image... for now.

(I will probably suggest to do like the GN2 and remove the above wipes and replace with --wipe_cache instead.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
It wiped everything except the SD card partition maybe since I went from fk23 to fl16 it didn't see the need to repartition?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AzWizzard:
Well for some reason my camera and gallery seem to be working fine now... Not really sure what happened or why, but I am not complaining. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Please don't take offense to what I'm about to say but.. this really isn't helpful to anyone.

What did you notice/do/change that solved your issue?

Keep in mind, there are people who read these threads and never post and may have the same type issues you saw, so if you're going to post something that was a "resolution", please be as detailed as you can. Doesn't matter if it was "I turned my phone off, let it sit for 5 mins, turned it on and it works.." Something.

Again, no offense meant but it'll save questions of how/why/do what's..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AzWizzard:
Honestly I don't know why it is working now...

For about the 1st week I had this ROM installed anytime I would open the camera or gallery my phone would freeze and I would have to pull the battery.

I even tried re-flashing it (Rooted / wipe data) and it still locked up every time I opened the gallery or camera. Tried wiping cache / leaving the battery out for 5 - 10 min... nothing fixed the issue...

I have not installed anything new since then, I have not changed anything... I pretty much just quit using my camera for the last week while I tried this ROM out.

A few days ago I accidentally hit the camera icon. I was about to pull my battery cover off to pull the battery when I noticed the camera was actually working and not frozen up. I took a few pics, closed the camera, opened it again, took a few more pics. I tired the gallery and it loaded up all my pics and worked fine.

I tried it a few more times over the last few days and it seems to be working fine...

That's why I was surprised since I didn't change anything / load / unload anything.

Honestly I haven't had time to play with my phone over the last week at all. So????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Would you consider your storage large for images/videos? The reason I ask it the thumbnail caching has been mentioned by a few people as an issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metayoshi:
It's definitely possible that it was a caching issue as I also remember having lockups on the Camera since FF11. You may have been pulling your battery prematurely and causing the camera and gallery apps to never be able to finish caching thumbnails of your images. This last time you went into the camera app, the phone was probably able to finally finish caching your photos and finally became responsive.

I know this isn't a user issue since the camera should have no lockups whatsoever in the first place... So yea, it is a bug on the Camera app's developers' side, but I would suggest to wait a bit longer before pulling the battery on your phone for any app the locks up. Sometimes all it needs is a little more time than you would like to give. And if it takes too long? Most likely, Android itself will force close the app for you. It's better that you let that happen rather than having to pull the battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Any word on the eta for an update of this rom. Lmao :p.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lancer1991:
Battery life....killing me

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Have been on FL16 rooted for a few weeks now from FK23. Initially I just used ODIN and the NODATA version to make the switch. Experienced a few apps that would just lock down and then eventually phone would reboot. Wasn't all the time, just seemed random when it did. Couple of times was Adobe Reader, I think also with either stock internet or Dolphin, and Facebook. Battery life was far from great, and still nowhere near what I was getting on EL29 GB.

Other thing I noticed was on occasion the GPS icon in the message bar would lock up there and not go away. When this happened the battery life seemed to go at a ridiculous pace. So yesterday I decide to use Calkulin's Format All and re-install, this time using Restore in hopes to clear the issues. This morning, almost first thing, I go into Facebook and boom here comes the GPS icon and doesn't go away once it locates me. So rather than reboot I figured I'd let it go and see what the battery life would do. Unplugged from charger this morning at 5:30 and the screenshots are from 10:00. Any ideas? Haven't seen anyone mention this GPS hang, but haven't read every post.

Oh yeah, last night, battery life was appearing to be pretty steady, better than I've seen. At one point I opened to look at something and about 30 minutes later when I looked at it again it didn't seem to drop a percent (maybe one) while not being used where typically I would have seen at least 5 percent. Also, with screen on Auto dimming, doesn't seem to do a great job. In dark conditions, it won't go as far down as you can manually and almost seems as it doesn't do anything most of the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
What's the age of your battery?

As for the GPS, did you check both location settings in the phone and FB? Once you open up FB and you see the pesky notification and it won't go away, try killing the FB task and see.. I have both off and don't get that. (I don't really need my location set for normal day to day stuff)

I don't see an issue with auto settings for brightness. But I may just not be paying attention.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lancer1991:
I know I have all 3 checked in GPS under Android. Typically it will pop up, locate me, and then go away. I've had it happen in Google Maps also, just use FB more than Google. I will have to do the Force Close trick next time it happens.

Right now can't check a thing as I connected to the computer to charge and apparently didn't connect 100% or something and turned itself off. Battery is not strong enough at the moment to boot.

The phone I got back in March I think, so battery is less than a year old.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
This happens to me also with this ROM (FL16, Full Restore). Force Close doesn't work to make the GPS stop. If you do a "top" from a Terminal app when this happens, the process that's running (and using roughly 50% of the CPU) is "secgpsd". I've tried doing manual kills of this process as root via "kill -9" or "kill -KILL" but no luck so far.

I've personally only had it happen with the FB app though, never with Maps.

Also, never had it happen with either FK23 or FL04. It's a new issue with FL16... which is the main reason that I was really hoping for FL27 :(. Beggars can't be choosers though... heh :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
So it's all good and all working perfectly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Mostly. There are a few quirks dealing with flashing from ICS and restoring from ICS but overall I'd say it's 99.9%!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
Hey Rwilco I have been having a problem using the stock FL16 kernel. Tar. Md5 in the Repo. It won't flash the kernel using Mobile Odin. It loads and I hit check Md5 then it gets root permission then reboots and never flashes the kernel or at least when it reboots it is stuck at the Samsung screen. I have to use the one click to fix the situation. I have re download it countless times. Could it be a bad upload to the Repo?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
What happens if you try the tar.md5 in regular Odin?
