Every time I boot after the initial successful boot. After clearing caches the device boots one time successfully.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Same as above post. Also, I had to reflash ROM because it froze on boot. Wiping did nothing for this device this time. Like I said before, compared to other roms, this one I'm keeping for a while. Minor annoyance but livable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
New build will be here in no time. I hope me and DynamicN are solving errors :D hmm... Is it slim 5.8 I think so yes new dark settings that I need to get on domination arhhh deving is a headache.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Have you guys both deleted the animation file like was discussed in here?
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
I thought about deleting the boot animation file but honestly there are two animations the boot screen ( the one after the initial Samsung logo), and the slim bean animation. Did not want to choose the wrong file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Huh. Good point. I never thought of that. You do however have a 50 50 chance of being right. The first one looks more like a load screen than a boot animation. Are there two files that are named bootani or whatever in there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
There is /system/bin/bootanimation and /system/media/bootanimation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
My guess would be the one in media. Just back everything up so you can revert. Seems simple enough.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Yeah that fixes it. It would be nice to get that kind of info in the first post, considering the bug is kind of a show-stopper.

Really digging this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
FYI, The one I deleted /system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I just assumed everyone in here had read most of the posts and would know that. It's been brought up in here a lot. I didn't want to be insulting because your skill level is way above mine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
That did do the trick. Thank you so much. I am not new to modifying system files but I do come from a different device. All device are different in which files to modify.

Glad someone was there to help. I fly out of town for work on Wednesday, and as you know would have to power down this device. Now I am able to boot without having issues.

AGAIN THANK YOU.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Nice Team Work Folks - people helping people ( good 2 C U toad )

Still Rockin' OG EPIC4G using xda premium :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Glad to hear you guys got the boot animation deleted, I've been busy lately. Thank you Augmentor for helpin out.

Dirty flashing should retain the settings, the keyword here is should.

I'm still lookin into the encryption setting for Slim.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
...but much appreciated ;)

After many errors Slim 5.8 is building now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Thanks its hard when you don't know Java well all of it still learning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
No Slim 5.8 cuz they just released Slim 6 so Slim 6.0 is now building.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
LOL ... did U already have it ready ? ... throw me a copy if U have one ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Cool hangout if any new errors I'll be waiting
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I'm curious to try it out, so I'll be standing by. It's either wait for this build or study.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
Lol, best "bad" news ever...

BTW, I just saw the news about the latest, holo-est Calendar app for Android. Would we have to wait for someone to build an exclusively "Dreadnought" (dark) version of that particular app, wait for the next rom build, or next gapps collection?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Well the worst news ever I quit no more ROMs
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
What why?xda needs u man :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I'll be back in 6 months the time to reapply for recognized developer
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
Huh so what's that mean I dnt get it :\ lol sorry ima noob
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I already cleared my out directory so I don't have 5.8 anymore but they just pushed 6.0 to a uncode freeze so 6.0 is building right now.

:(

Gtalk today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
:eek: WHAT ?!?!? :confused:

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

No Problem .... just thought I would use that for a day until U get 6.0 ready ... THX !
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
6.0 is done and I'm testing it now. If all goes well download it from my dev host and enjoy!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Cool ... lemme know when it's ready
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Good thing I tested first cuz I got a status 7 error on install but I know how to fix it so it will be on my dev host very soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Odd issues on v5 I've noticed this week.

The lock screen is randomly activated; often when an app is started.

When changing cpu governor and other settings, the next boot hangs at the Slim boot animation. Have to battery pull to boot again.

Incoming phone calls don't show the contact name/picture. Only after I've hung up does it appear.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I feel like everybody is jumping ship! The Epic is the best phone ever! If they would just make an S4 with a keyboard, there'd be a reason to jump ship!

Seriously though, why does nobody like a keyboard?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I don't have an epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
...Oh. Well....you should! They're cool phones!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I had one sold it so I could build thought I would make enough money to buy another one. The fascinate was free tbh it doesn't cut corners like the epic did .
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Haven't heard of the lock screen being randomly activated but I'll see what I can find on that. I'd delete the boot animation under system/media and it shouldn't hang at all. Was this on a fresh install with formating system too?

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Slim 6 is up. Everything works except you may need to delete the boot animation but I doubt it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Is there a link for Slim 6?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
http://d-h.st/hSH

Use these slim Gapps until they update them to 6 http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewdownload/383-addons/2649-slim-gapps-4-2-2-build-5-x

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

How's Slim 6 workin for you guys? If there's any problems with the boot animation let me know so I can upload it again without the boot animation
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Yep. I'll see how v6 holds up once they release the v6 Aroma Gapps AIO.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
So far Slim 6 is running flawlessly for me but I always like some feedback. I haven't use Aroma, is it inverted?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Yeah that's what I was telling you about the installer with the GUI that allows you to choose what you want. The aroma has options to choose between inverts or not and extras.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Bummer ... I'm stuck ... gonna need to delete bootanimation and try again

FYI - the Aroma Installer worked perfectly on BeanStalk last night , so everyone should definately try it as well
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
U never bought that epic off ebay I would of but u said u we're gonna get it I would of bought it and had it shipped to u :\
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Nope didn't get any money . I haven't had a customer in some time I think I forgot how to flash phones
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Oh yea that's right, I remember now.

Damn. Well one person having trouble with the bootani is more than enough to pull it in my opinion so I'm pulling this build off my dev host and uploading another right now that has no boot animation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
Dl is down :\
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
He removed it or are you just sad waiting
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Alright - I deleted bootanimation and reinstalled ROM = flashed ROM + Aroma = OK so far ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
I thought it was all good and rdy to go :\

What aroma?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
He removed the boot animation and aroma as in slim gapps

Slim Gapps http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewdownload/383-addons/2649-slim-gapps-4-2-2-build-5-x
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
so aroma is a type of gapp?I dnt get it 4give my noobness
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
I know we did this on another device when we made a ROM, just wondering if this could be the issue with the boot animation.

Could the issue be the (new) boot ani is trying to "overwrite" the original android boot ani?

We had an issue with it before when I was on another device, so we uninstalled the original boot ani and it did work.

I'm sure you have already thought of such.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Aroma is an installer for things such as gapps, AIOs, addons, extras etc.

As far as I know it's because the boot animation in Slim uses optimized jpeg images that don't display correcly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
I'm sorry I still don't get what aroma is :\ where/what is it how it works what's it do and can I use it on any rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
flash it after the ROM ( just like regular Gapps ) and follow the options as they appear ( it's not complicated at all - basically allows U 2 choose which options U wanna use )
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
Lol I'm sorry guys so its a customized version of gapps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
U could call it that ... let's U pick & choose
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
No not really, its just a .zip file that u flash that basically contains a bunch of other .zips in it which can be gapps, a kernel choice, stock sprint apps that may have been removed, mods, tweaks, stuff like that. Those are just examples but it can include anything. U flash it in recovery and then it takes u step by step and asks u if it should install a certain thing, or tells you to choose apps or mods from a list so it can install them, and stuff like that. Hope this helped you a lil more.

---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

So what's new in this one? I was looking at the changelog on the website but it says its up to weekly 5.7 or something like that. Is there anything specific to look for or is noticable? Cuz the previous build already runs with no problems so even if it was just a few more bug fixes and less crashes or reboots (if there is any) that's still great. I'm going to flash this in the morning ill let you know if I find anything out about it. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
This is so boss Dynamic! I just finished compiling your v6.0 with NS4G's v5 phone n setting.apk. I couldn't find a v6 on slim's site. Hopefully they're similar enough to work. I had trouble getting v5 right with the apks so I couldn't auto roam. Been hurtin' from that one the last few weeks haha I really need to roam where I'm posted up now...

Sadly I have to use Google Drive now to get the zips on my phone :[ but it's a workable pathway I believe. I'm at work now so I can't try v6 til I'm back home.

I'll report in when I get to sit down n fiddle some! Super excited to try it out man! Thanks again!!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
You are using Slim's apktool right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
No.. Didn't know one existed.. Nor do I know how to use it lol I'm just extracting onto desktop and zipping once I move those .apks. Renaming so I don't get confused lol It's worked for me before.

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Lol slim has apktool on their github it works for these ROMs with dark settings .
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
So now the dev host link works and is good to go?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I dunno. I used to use Aroma with CM10. Kinda big for the small internal memory of these dinosaurs. I'll give it one more shot with this updated ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
There's no changes that I'm aware of from Slim 5.7 to 6.0 other than it should be more stable. I added in some optimizations and tweaks for a smoother experience as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Aroma is the installer UI; unless I'm missing something. Are you referring to installing all the additional add-ons, like Photosphere and Face Unlock that take up extra space?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
^^^^^ THIS^^^^^
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Yeah, all sorts of different apps. Depending on how it's configured. Last time I used it it had facebook, instagram, all sorts of different app. But you get to select which ones you want to install. To me, it seems like the space taken up by the installer itself is a waste. I know what apps I use. They are backed up and are restored when I factory reset. I can remove one or two, and go to the store (or fdroid) and get new ones as I see fit. To each his or her own though.

Sounds like you clicked the checkbox to restore the phone from a previous Google backup during the Setup Wizard after a fresh rom flash. That's the only reason I can imagine Facebook and Instagram were automatically installed on your phone

What do you guys suggest for a kernel if flashing the ns4g modem? I'm using one from March that I just realized is heavily outdated (I would think).

Edit: Using didhiy's 0528 build now (I think).
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
that should be his most current ... Effsi has a GREAT one but hasn't taken the time to update it in awhile ( has more Governors and I&O options )
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Yeah, the 05/28 build works pretty good.

Anyone else notice the...well it looks like a CRT screen refreshing like mad sometimes when I use the browser. No idea what causes it, but slim builds have always done this for me. It's not a deal-breaker, just a bit annoying at times.

Edit: Build 6 works like a charm for me! Bang-up job mate!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Can you give me a link to this 5/28 kernel for NS4G modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Is THAT what that is? FOr me, it's anything that is pure white. The screen flickers so hard it blacks out sometimes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
I have seen that as well when I open email on the previous build. So far, I have

not

seen that on the 6.0 build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:

Providing you have root access, you can install "Quick Boot" from the play store. You can add a widget to your home screen. It allows you to reboot, boot to recovery, or Hot boot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...XVpY2tib290Il0.

To this point, still unable to successfully copy phone/settings.apk from Slim Crespo build v6 into Dynamic's build v6 and flash. I swear I'm extracting, copying and compressing the right way, but every time I enter TWRP and attempt to flash it fails. Going to try original method Texas mentioned previously just to see that the basics are working.

I really need my auto roam and I love the NS4G modem @.@ apparently I can't have them both lol
