Thanks...having a very difficult time finding Gapps for 4.2.2..any ideas??

The goo site seems to have them then I click the link and they all say 4.3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jwhyte:
Just grab the 20130301 and have everything update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Semi newb question.

What is the default dpi of a Samsung Epic 4g touch SPH-D710? so I can set it at that.

I am having issues with the camera app namely the camcorder part.

When I record a video the video stops showing/moving and stalls the system, then when I try and open the camera app again it says cannot connet to camera.

Is this a known issue of some sorts and is there a fix?

I was thinking the dpi setting was affecting it that's why I posted my dpi question first so as I can try that before I assume it's the rom causeing issues.

Thanks for any help.

Of ALL the roms out, this is by far the smoothest and fastest out that I have tried, and I have tried a ton of them, it's very minimal and simplistic to use. I'm partial to simplistic stuff, so this suits me well, so would really like to fix this and start using this rom.

Most if not all of the 4.2.2 based roms I have some slight laggy/sluggish to the phone so I always end up reverting back to the stock rooted TW rom GC01 sadly. I would rather use this rom, but we'll have to wait and see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
DPI is 240
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Thanks for the info. I set the dpi to that, and still have an issue with the camera.

I use the picture takeing fine, but the camcorder just stalls out and doesn't show recording, and if I let it sit long enough it comes back to a message gallery has stopped.

Any ideas for a fix? other than using another camera app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
No I don't sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I'm not sure if it's a know issue for this ROM, but you can typically get away with installing an older gallery app. You need a root file manager to delete the old one and place a new one. You can also try a different camera app from the play store. I'm almost certain DPI doesn't matter.

[Edit] I didn't realize you wanted the stock camera app. But reverting back to an older version should do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Ok well I guess I'll wait a few days and see if the OP answers back....if not it's another failed rom I can't use or don't want to use.

EVERY 4.2.2 rom I have tried for this phone has some lag/sluggish issues, ie: screen to screen moves kinda clunky, and the app drawer is the same way.

With other roms, there is SO much customization, which may be nice for some I just don't use a lot of the stuff so it's kinda pointless for me, and hard to navigate thru the menus with so many options.

This rom is minimalistic and simple to use, and is very fast, and I would LOVE to use it, but the camera being broke is a no go for me sadly :(.......so I am crossing my fingers because I'm running out of roms to try, as this phone is getting a lot less support now with other phones coming out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Have you tried super nexus 4.2 ROM,or CyanogenMod.how about touchwiz ROMs,project-x barebones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I've tried pretty much every 4.2.2 available for this phone, Cm10.1, Touched BYsg4, and some others. Been reading around about 4.2 android it seems there is sme lag feel, or slugishness feel to android 4.2 in general, it's not just this phone, it affect all sorta of phones, it's just 4.2 android I guess, that's why I was looking for a 4.3 rom for this particular phone sph-d710, but can't seem to find many roms that are 4.3 or 4.4.

So far all I found on 4.4 for this phone was here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540250 but so far people haven't been able to get 3g to work, so that's a no go, for now anyways.

I have tried a list of 4.2 roms:

-Revolt, (had way to many options for my desired taste) <---this is one that I don't think is bad really just has way to many options for my likeing and is hard to navigate thu the menus, to much stuff to sift thru :) but that's just me, a lot of people like it's customization, and that's fine, I'm in no way knocking the hard work and effort they put into this rom.

-Touched BY s4 (4.1.2 android I believe)

-Cm 10.1 (4.2.2 android)

-Slimbean (4.3 android) currently on it but with camera issues

I did a search on project X, and saw there was some 4.3 stuff on there so I may give those a try. I am in the process of trying Hood Pope rom, based on 4.3 android, but other than that I can't find anything much more based on 4.3.

I am leary of trying another 4.2 rom, as they all seem to have that sluggish and lag feel in them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Iam currently on hood pope myself.but I've recently been running touch wiz ROMs.tell you what , you should try one and I recommend barebones project-x it already has comadose.I think its smooth, fast oh yea very loud too.lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Yeah I have a default I fall back to that is really nice, although it's stock.

It's a stock deodexed GC01 TW rom, and I added in agats kernel plus an AIO toggle mod I modifed to have the stock icons look.

It runs really smooth and without a problem, Ijust prefer the CM style as to the TW style, dunno why, but I have to revert back to the TW since I know everything there works and I have most all the tweaks I want/need, aside from one, which is max widget on lockscreens, and for that nothing works for the epic 4g touch, only for s3 and s4.

If hood pope doesn't fit my needs, I will await for the op, to respond with a fix (crosses fingers) and if not it's back to the old standby TW setup.

I am watching the kitkat epic 4g touch thread really close, because as soon as they get 3g working, I am in like flin!! :) assuming everything else works correctly. Not really into the 4g thing, never have been even if I had it I'd prolly not bother with it....I like having my battery life
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Lol watching 4.4 myself,checking all the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Yeah I'm excited.

On a side note, I just got done with Hood Pope rom install.

I gotta say it's smooth too!

I'd be willing to bet, from all the posts I've seen about 4.2 android, that's it is in fact 4.2 that's the issue. Maybe not for everyone, but for quite a few even the stock 4.2 updates, that people are getting OTA are complaining about the same issues, and wanting to revert back to 4.1.

In short, my guess is 4.2 has issues and 4.3 fixes those issues, that or they cut something out or trimmed somewhere, and 4.3 just works now, and they just built onto it with 4.4.

I guess for now Hood pope will be my rom of choice, unless slimbean can give me a fix for the camera.

You don't see a lot about Hood Pope rom, via videos or even pics, not that I could find anyways, but it's really nice so far from what I have tested.

[MENTION=4376589]mholloway[/MENTION]

I can't get TB key to regonize in this rom. Only had this issue once before, and can't remember what it was, but I did a clear dalvik cache I think it was and that fixed it, but nothing works now.

It's in the SU list, and the key is installed, but the app and key are installed under system/data/app, I don't remember it being in that folder, but with all the mad flashing and playing around I've been doing I honestly am not sure lol.

Anyways basically TB has root access (I think) but the key isn't getting noticed so TB says it's free, that results in no mass app installs, and you have to ok each app. Root explorer app has root access and works fine, as does terminal emulator, I do SU and it works fine.

Things I have done:

-Rebooted recovery and cleared dalvik cache (that has helped at times and worked)

-removed and added TB app from SU list multiple times

-Uninstalled and installed both TB app and Key multiple times along with rebooting afterwards as well.

nothing works

It also shows in the play store and installed with no updates available

Any ideas would be helpful and appreciated, I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Nevermind it worked itself out.......it would seem as if it needs some sort of connection and information the key goes off of, ie: google account to have it finally activate. That's the only thing I can think of, because it says pro now after finally putting in the google account via the settings information and logging on the play store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ktempleton:
I've been working on 4.4 du the for first build will be pretty much stripped down I'll see about running another slim off for you guys and try to get the camera going
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
4.4 with working data?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ktempleton:
Still working on it my man haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Lol,nice .iam out of my 8 thanks for today, I owe you one:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I figured out the camera issue, the link from the cm11 gave me the idea.

This link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540250 down the page under issues, one of them says

.

I can confirm anything above 480sd, ie: anything in HD, will result in the camera stop responding and a message about the gallery stopped will come up. At 480SD it works fine with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
No camera fix yet huh? that's a shame....are people still working on that or no? just curious is all
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
data

Hi , does 3G work on 4.3 Slim now ? Is the newest build from August ? Slim is my favorite rom of alltime . I sure hope it gets updated with the latest fixes .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
3g works fine, as does most everything else....aside from camera. It works, just don't use above 420 res on it, or it will FC and stall, and you will have to manually force stop it to get it to work again. Also do not use a JB modem, use an ICS modem, JB modem won't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
What build are you running and which version ? 4.2 or 4.3 ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I was running the one on the front page 4.3 android.

You have to run a ICS modem though, can''t be a JB modem

I'm personally useing FI22 but I'm on boost mobile, so not sure if that will work with sprint or not.

Visit http://www.rwilco12.com/ and drop the downloads at the top down and go to yur phones modem, ANy ICS modem will work, just pick wich is best for you

The reason I don't run it now is simply because the camera doesn't work out of the box.

I'm kinda a stickler for useing stock items, rarely will I use other apps other than what came with the roms/phone, that's jsut me I guess. I could always use another camera app I spose, jsut have to research and I may end up doing that.

Other than the camera issue, it all ran smooth, in fact it was the smoothest of all the roms I have tried for this phone, and I've tried about all of them
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I believe I have found a fix for the Camcorder [Anything higher than 420p] issue that's been seen in this rom and the cm11 rom. I have tested this a couple times and it works every time, in both 720p and 1080p recording, No lockups or freezes.

Not sure if anyone is really interested in a fix or not for that, but if so let me know I will post what I did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Just to be sure , your telling me that 08/21/13 build beta 1 of 4.3 has working data ? You know Dastin just got data working on CM 4.3 right ? I'm puzzled because it doesn't seem Kempleton ever updated this after the initial build unless I'm just not seeing it . I'm trying to be sure before i go and flash that build from that date that data works . You sure your not on 4.2.1 ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ktempleton:
I'm always interested in the fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
I am running hood pope build from Oct 1 .wotking data, so i do beleive dastin didnt just get data working, its been fixed .

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

Big K , :D what's up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
My mistake , but i still want to verify that slim 4.3 from the initial build works , What I meant . Also is there any particular reason you haven't updated to a buld of hood pope that's almost 2 months newer ? Is there some known issue that's stopping you ? I have it one of my epics and its doing great but like I said , I love me some Slim Bean . I've been running 4.2.1 of it on another phone for months .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Yea for me anyway, on the newest build of hood pope com.android phone stops every time I open dialer. I use the phone I can't get to the dial pad to hang up.lol I have no idea why.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
I've been flashing a lot lately and actually only flashed HoodPope to get the cwm needed for KK flash . Got to looking at it and its pretty flawless . I like it a lot . The dialer here works fine for me although I did get some fc's with dialer codes . Maybe it was a freak deal for you . All of that being said I just like slimrom for its clean sleek jet black look . It's a very visually appealng rom . I've got my fingers crossed that Kempleton will pump out a new build with all the new fixes implemented for 4.3 to sort of give us a polished finished out rom to run because thats what I'd have to go with . It's likely gonna be awhile before they get data worked out on 4.4 .

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

Easier to just go ahead and post a fix to start with , of course everyone is interested in fixes .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
3g isnt working. If theres a fix shouldnt it be posted in op.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
For the camera fix, what I did was.....I know that hood pope camera works ok, so I thought I'd test my theory and see if it worked or not.

I extracted the camera app (gallery2.apk and gallery4.apk) by just going in to system/app and copying the apk files over to my sd card.

Not sure what the gallery4.apk is for, but I grabbed it just in case, come to find out it isn't needed, at least not that I can find.

Note: the gallery apk file is both the camera app and the gallery, both in one apk file, so if you delete the apk file you lose both camera and gallery. Not sure how many people knew that or not, but there ya go.

So now that I have a working camera/gallery app that I got from hood pope rom I went installed both slimbean and dastin's 4.4 kitkat where both cameras have the same issues, (it locks and force closes eventually). I went into system/root and removed/deleted the installed gallery2.apk, and then did a basic install of the gallery2.apk that I got from hood pope, and it worked.

I was going to push it to system/app and then thought hrmm, why not just see if it will install like a regular normal app, and sure enough it does, so no need to manually push or place the apk in system/app, although that would work to.

So I've tested twice on kitkat 4.4 and once on slimbean and everytime it works just fine.

It was a good find for me, so now all I have to get working is data on 4.4kitkat (which I can't fix I'll have to wait) and find a way to go directly from el29 kernel and flash firectly into 4.4 kitkat. Still havn't found a way to do that sadly. That would cut out the LOOOONG route I have to take to get 4.4 to install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
That's kinda what I said a while back. Anyways can you post the apk? Seems easier than downloading the whole thing.

Yes SuperGoober he is correct, I believe I had mentioned 3g was working on slimbean, and if I did I am sorry and I apologize, I wasn't trying to mislead you......just these last few days I've been messing with different roms and doing different things to possibly make an easier way of doing things, so I may have gotten roms mixed up........Slimbean 4.3 data doesn't work. I have tried 2 ics modems and both do not work.

Sorry for the mixup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Well hopefully if he gives us a finished product it will since that's been fixed on CM 4.3 . Keep your fingers crossed x

When I try to go back and restore now everything is gone. If I am I'm the Rom, thru the slim folder I can see everything, surpass, backups etc, but if I reboot into recovery, nothing if there and I can't restore my backup, there is absolutely nothing there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ktempleton:
try replacing the apns i have no idea why its not picking it up in recovery data should work i pulled in the fixes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ktempleton:
Also try flashing the blasphemy kernel see if that fixes the recovery issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
I downloaded the blasphemy kernel, but when I rebooted into recovery there is nothing there, I can't install it cause my download is not there, it's like the recovery is not picking up what's on my phone, at this point I can't download anything new cause I can't find it in recovery and I can't get back to what I had because there Is nothing in recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ktempleton:
you may have to use adb and sideload the kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
How do I do that, not familiar with that, heard of it but never done it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ktempleton:
OK I was able to flash the kernel through mobile Odin I flashed the direct boot kernel then blasphemy and now recovery is good to go
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Ok this thing is still downloading all my apps, so once I can stop interrupting it long enough to let it finish lol and it downloads Mobil Odin, will give it a try

Once before I did something similar using apn back up and restore app. Changed it to a system app using tb, then created a zip that I could run from recovery, that allowed me to back up, delete and then restore my apn and we did that to get the data working I believe on du 4.3. Will that work?

Ok played around with this till the sleep took control, couldn't get to work for data, has to switch back as need data during the day but can't wait till this is running, or slim Kat, which ever comes first
