Working on it but it's not really in my skill set. Anyone willing to make some; please do.

If you saw Cut & Paste Extra Crispy version, the differences would be most noted in theme, animated pull-down, boot animation, charge animation and lock screen. The large UOT Decimal 0-100% battery remains but I centered the clock and moved the low battery warning from wherever it was to 5%. The bonus on the warning is that if your screen is on, no audible warning; just a visual pop-up. I was able to remove that fake shutdown that would interrupt services like hang-up a phone call in-progress. No more startling warning tones while your holding the phone but if the screen is off or you boot with battery 5% or less, you will get the audible warning of low battery.

So to characterize low battery warnings while display remains on:

LT 15% battery % indicator turns from white to red (as in Cut & Paste Extra-Crispy)

5% you get a pop-up warning to plug-in.

LT 5% an animation starts to cycle between battery % (red) to !battery symbol.

0%-phone turns off

Use responsibly; you have been warned; lol! I did this for my own liking; what do you think? Keep it or go back to 15% or 20% screeeeech-fake-shutdown? Personally, that annoyed me. The best way to get 100% out of our battery is to wipe the battery stats when flashing new ROM or less than 50% on a reboot. If you needed until it shut down; you'd have it without it interrupting service. No risk to battery life AFAIK.

Actually, the differences are mostly in animation and function that screen shots may miss. IDK how in-depth screenshots can go; a video review may reveal more about this ROM than screenshots(?) I didn't give it wallpaper but I am open to suggestions.

Sorry, I've been slacking on the screenies. I just added 3 to the OP.

The wallpaper is not default (yet); let me know if this one is wanted or not. I'm taking requests for wallpaper but I do want to keep it dark and natural looking. This one is time lapsed.

Working on an update due to some market apps updating and minor appearance changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Running this now--extremely awesome ROM! It is fast, smooth, and stable for me. I'll test 4g tomorrow when I go out (dont have it at home).

Request: Can you give an option to disable the android drawing when the notification bar is pulled down? It's cool, but pretty distracting when it does it every time.

Thanks for your hard work

Re: [ROM][FC09][TW-MTD] Legacy ROMv1.01

Well, I can remove it altogether and post an alternate download.

Do you like the aosp lock screen better than TouchWiz? I was gonna post a link for one, later. If so, I'll make them in one flash. No pulldown animation with aosp lock screen included.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
My vote definitely goes for AOSP lockscreen, it always seemed easier on the thumb. Also I'm for a no animation version :D

Re: [ROM][FC09][TW-MTD] Legacy ROMv1.01

Ok got a chance to test 4g. It activates but cant connect in the area where I used to get 4g. It's possible though that there is a network issue in my area

Edit: do i need a full wipe to go 1.02>1.03?
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
It's not necessary to wipe but recommended since you had the issue with 4G connection.

You might also want to disable the Sprint Connections Optimizer. It should not interfere with 4G but it does try some network optimizations that favor WiFi over radio. Sometimes it may appear your phone is broken while it muddles. Look in Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile networks/Automatic connections and un-check the box at top.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Okay, I'll give it one more try before doing a full wipe-- it's not atypical of sprint to have outages in my area ;)

Update to v1.01 animated pull-down version

Download link to v1.02 is here. Please read updated flash instructions just below...

Flash Instructions:

Backup data or nandroid

Wipe data, cache and dalvik

Flash ROM

Restore Data or advanced restore data from nandroid

Reboot once more

Change log:

improved V6_Supercharger integration

added a few more battery saver tweaks to build.prop- thanks omair2005

minor theme tweaks

removed Lightning Launcher and installed ADW Launcher

updated market apps

added Blacked-out Gmail (now you have a choice of preferred email packages; please note, android protects Gmail.apk data. AFAIK, the only way to wipe it and make it go dormant is to wipe your data. Email.apk does allow data deletion without wiping data and also has a setting to allow inverted. Just saying...)

Differences between v1.02 & 1.03:

v1.02 retains the TW lockscreen and pull-down animation of v1.01 and adds Blacked-out Gmail- thanks bradman117

v1.03 has AOSP lock-screen, no pull-down animation and no Gmail.apk (sort-of a custom build per one user's request; I'm flexible on this one with except the AOSP lockscreen and lack of pull-down animation will remain as-built)

Note: I am still open to reasonable change requests but try to retain and maintain requested features.

Suggested ADW Launcher Settings:

(both versions of Legacy ROM with ADW)

System/Presets: Fast

System/Advanced settings:

*-uncheck "Keep in Memory" (V6_SuperCharger does this better)*

-uncheck "Double Tap" (confusing to differ the method of editing widgets & icons) (Note: if you kill a widget's function by accidentally press/hold to edit and slip-up somehow, like I did, an easy fix is to restart the launcher "System/Restart ADW")

*-Scrolling cache "Disabled" is your recommended option (The smooth scroll [mod] disables scroll cache; don't make the launcher work harder for no reason)*

Screen:

"Style"- Dark (you have to exit ADW settings or restart ADW to go to dark theme.

"Actionbar design"- Transparent

"Show Outlines" -uncheck, if annoying

"Screen transition effect"- Normal scroll is fastest and most consistent

*"Indicator type"- Disabled or Dots only. (Sliders will slow the home-screen scrolling)*

"Highlights press color"- set to transparent to let the themed select highlights come through launcher selects

* = highly recommended for improved performance;* otherwise, set to preference with minimum impact

Removing links to v1.01; posting link to v1.02 (this post) in OP

TO DO (Done; please read OP, if interested in updates): Updated OP in regards to thread location and features and credits; thanks Kenny for moving thread

Screenies? Please see updated OP... default wallpaper may be included upon request on a future update but so far no requests have been made. Add your favorite wallpaper.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BoscoCosta:
Anyone have issues with the screen keeps coming on? not sure if its a bad flash, but before i redo was wondering if anyone has run into this with this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Haven't had such reports until this one.

Which version are you having this problem with?

Did you flash with or without a full wipe? If you haven't tried a clean install, it's recommended, if having issues. (clean install=wipe data/factory reset; dirty install=wipe cache and dalvik and flash, keeping data).

However, you may have to ODIN to stock with repartition and re-root if coming from a ROM other than TouchWiz. Review the OP, I have provided link to the updated ODIN to stock method that includes recovery from other builds and semi-bricked.

Personally, I'd try the data wipe first but the ODIN method is simple and not very time consuming if you have the tools at hand.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BoscoCosta:
sounds good i will give it a try. But yes i did a full wipe and using your latest build. i'll report back after. thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Thanks for everything, Epic!

SO... I got my dopey son the iPhone to go to China with. After Sprint switched his number to the new phone (unbeknowst to him), he got mad and threw the Epic, rendering it useless.

I apologize to Samep, as I truly wanted to try this ROM after so many PM's and speculations. I also will take this moment to officially bid farewell to the forum and thank all the people who helped make the first leg of my Android journey special; JohnCorleone, QBKing, Nubecoder, Rodderik, TP, BT, Starsky, Travmofosho, Darkie, Texas, Flast, Ed, k0nane, Random, Naddict, Nash, and of course; Kennyglass123. You guys are the best, and I hope to see everyone here over at GS3 for more Android goodness!

Please, everyone, try this ROM as I know Samep worked really hard on it; and please keep the Epic community as helpful and vibrant as it was back in 2011, the way it helped me be a better member of XDA.

My Epic;

[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Did you flash without data wipe? I know it should work but it must be happening because I write to /data/app and create /data/V6_SuperCharger and make other additions to /data partition. For the moment, looks like data backup, wipe data, flash ROM and restore data is the only data support method I can offer.

I've been looking at a fix for this very problem, tonight. May be close but no promises. One work-around that might work is to delete /data/misc folder and reflash the ROM. It worked once for me but I've been revamping the updater-script so it may not work on your current released version.

Thanks for testing. Hope that helps in some way. If my next flash test works, I'll have an update, soon. If not, I'll update the flash instructions for each download linked in this thread.

[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Thanks for hanging in there; I have an update nearly ready. Hoping to squash the permission issue with keeping data as opposed to data wipe.

Have you tried a clean install? I don't have any reboot issues, myself. Did you verify SuperCharger script is running? If you've tried both of those suggestions with no joy, are you using CPU over-clock or under-volting? Every phone is different so these could impact stability for one user and not another.
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Update to OP coming soon...

Thanks to report and updates from derrick1976, I've confirmed a bug with flashing without wiping data. Versions 1.01 & 1.03 have a folder that did not get updated as intended; therefore they do not support dirty flashing from ROM to ROM, keeping data.

If you have copies of of those versions or nandroids with them, you should discard them or replace them with the updated releases. I've made them public in my DEV-HOST folder but have yet to update the OP and post links and and change logs. You're welcome download and test with me by clicking the link to version 1.03 and then clicking my XDA/DEV-HOST user in blue to get to my public folder. v1.04 has a quicker pull-down animation and version 1.05 has the pull-down animation removed. (I'm actually done but have some OP house keeping to catch up on).

More to come, later. Sorry for the lack of data support; Ive got fixes in those updated that should protect data and fix some some applications and functions like wifi, bluetooth, voice mail, Gmail and YouTube. Cut & Paste extra-crispy will now break Gmail if flashing over this ROM without data wipe. Being that I am the contributing dev. on extra-crispy, I'm proposing some updates and a few changes to fix Gmail and make it smoother. Any suggestions while I'm thinking on that subject?

Legacy ROM versions 1.04 & 1.05

(download links at bottom) Both versions retain V6_SuperCharger and SuperSU as stated in OP

Going forward from here, I anticipate clean installs will prevent (or fix) all data issues. Previous versions are now retired; thanks for testing and reporting.

Sorry for any inconvenience; thanks derrick1976, Xinlitik and BoscoCosta for testing and reporting.

v1.04 change log:

faster pull-down animation

re-themed some .png's to replace baby blue tint with deeper blue

removed some build.prop tweaks- hopefully for smoother video across a larger number of users

Remember ControlFreak? It's back because it was a re-write of Voltage Control for gingerbread- thanks shane87

Removed Voltage Control

Moved Gmail and YouTube to /system folder

kept the TW lock-screen

(If you tried versions 1.01 and/or 1.02, let me know if this is an improvement or wrong direction)

(If you didn't try either of them, try this one. v1.02 will also be removed, shortly.)

v1.05 change log

(since most download hits were for the requested changes, this one replaces it keeping the AOSP lock-screen and has no pull-down animation):

fixed user data support; hopefully flashing ROMs without data wipe issues is gone. I have not been able to duplicate this despite flashing a number of different ROMs.

same re-theming, ControlFreak and build.prop changes as v1.04

If you haven't spotted the theme changes, that's OK. The baby blue behind the buttons was replaced with semi-transparent deeper blue. The second shot shows the pressed button color. The dialog divider in the pop-up was changed from white to matching blue. The other change not pictured was to tone down the bright pop-up background to easy-reading #fff2f3f4 shade. The blotchy android in version 1.03 has now been replaced with a better 9-patch in semi-transparent pull-down.

This is not a change but I wanted to show what happens when the notification bar gets full. I had bluetooth on but the icon gets replaced with the audio vibe icon when selected rather than overwriting the centered clock. Just demonstrating that is not possible to overwrite the centered clock with this mod.

nice rom...have enjoyed it since 1st release...was wondering. can you make a version without super charger? only reason being is script gets updated so often and for those of us who use it its kinda fun setting it up yourself. also I find myself not using it at all at times...so just a personal request I guess...no big!
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Well this embarrassing! Sorry, but I left out the Google Quick Search Box in the latest builds. I'm able to get search by adding launcher search widget but not the search button on panel or the built-in widget on ADW Launcher.

Quick fix; try creating the widget option if you can't download or find them in my public folder....soon. So sorry!

Pulling and Uploading... Thanks for your patience.
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Thanks! So, now may the time to voice requests for a clean version. No V6_SuperCharger, no what...Bloat?

I could simplify the updater-script by removing the third-party apps and SuperSU while removing V6_Supercharger. If it's slim that you want, I could also remove Gmail, YouTube, Live wallpaper and LWP picker, calculator. Spot-to-spot removal all of the SuperCharger scripts to clean this up, leaving no trace, may not be an easy task for the inexperienced but the rest is. SuperSU only gets complicated because our older TW kernels want to revert back to superuser, instinctively protecting root as programmed.

No problem either way; just trying to make a newer version useful to as many users as possible. Clean was the original intent of this ROM, anyways. ;) But I got carried away; LOL. On the brighter side, a ROM done that way on an EOL phone would most likely not require updates. (If done right).

Re: [ROM][FC09][TW-MTD] Legacy ROMv1.04 & 1.05

Nashdogg is the official app picker for Cut & Paste. Chose well to pick apps that don't look outdated, didn't he?

I tend to like blacked out apps more than transparent may be the reason I didn't pick as well.

Titanium Backup data should be on your Sdcard, did you lose it or did the the app update or need updating when flashed? Let me know if the third party apps should be dropped from the flash. I'm testing a clean version now that brings no apps but I deleted YouTube and Gmail with the flash because I forgot to allow existing apps to remain where not flashing over with new app. I will fix that. I also removed Live wall paper, Sprint Optimizer and went back to standard Superuser and V6 SuperCharger. I mistakenly left a tweak in the init.d folder. Should I remove that, too?

There's another version that just removes the V6 SuperCharger and adds that same tweak, borrowed from Cut & Paste but toned a bit. Both versions do not have the pull-down animation. Let me know if either is not as requested, I can make changes and shoot test links to those who want to test and make suggestions. The theme could even be changed to extra crispy, if Nash gives a nod.

Today is give back Good Friday. I'm flexible on requests.

Re: [ROM][FC09][TW-MTD] Legacy ROMv1.04 & 1.05

I'll take a look; 80% for volume notifications is a bit high but plenty loud enough for me. I did run some of the tones through a sound enhancer to peak the volume but I avoided clipping for distortion reasons. Our phone does seem low for borrowed tones.

Are there specific tones that seem lower than the others? I could look at those, first, if you can point me in the right direction.

Have you tried voodoo sound? Might help; I noticed the author says the amp is a beast so protect your hearing. I haven't used it for amplication so I don't know if it works for tones or not?
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Re: [ROM][FC09][TW-MTD] Legacy ROMv1.04 & 1.05

I've heard others say it can be done but I haven't tried, myself. The recommended way to come back to TW is backup and Odin to stock using the bml repartition method. But flashing this after will autoconvert from bml to MTD. Then you could flash back to CM or AOKP, without a problem. I have links posted in OP.

I may test that other theory, myself, but I think it is a risk that I shoudn't recommend. The partitions differ because JB needs more room for system.
