There's a separate TWRP thread that provides flashable TWRP 2.5.0.0. CM and Slim are both compatible. No need to mess with the zips.

Also, why not install Slim, reboot to TWRP, and when installing CM , make sure the "Inject TWRP" is checked? That retains the TWRP while giving you CM.

I already have TWRP. My point is that SlimBean6.0 comes with TWRP but, I prefer to use CWMR. I was asking if CWMR can be injected into the SlimBean6.0 zip. I hate having to switch back & forth between recoveries just to restore backups. At the very least they should be compatible with one another.

& I just found out the search key was brutally murdered lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffreyjicha:
You could try CWM Touch recovery. AFAIK, the CWM Touch recovery and regular CWM recovery use the same file extensions for backups.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
I already have CWM Touch & regular CWM. I currently use CWM Touch however. I'm just saying it would nice if SlimeBean6.0 had CWM inbuilt instead of TWRP. If I'm not mistaken, all the other SlimBean projects had CWM inbuilt so why the change? Just exactly what is AFAIK? I've never heard of it before...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
AFAIK = As far as I know :D

Integrating TWRP is the ROM maintainer's choice. If you hate it you can always grab the flashable CWM (non Touch) here: http://goo.im/devs/didhiy/sph-d700_cm-10.1/cwm-6.0.3.2-epicmtd-install.zip . Don't have to pre-inject CWM into the ROM anyway.

You realize that link's to a ROM for the Huawei G300 right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
What you think is silly doesn't seem to bother anyone else.

This is called Slim Bean because out of the box it is slim but has many features if one wishes to enable/find them.

Every Slim build 3.4 and up has had twrp recovery, which is Slim 3.4, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 and I know this because I've built all these ROMs. If there's something different you want in these ROMs I'd suggest learning how to build and do it yourself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Sorry if I seemed condescending. That's not the message I'm trying to send. I was just leaving feedback. I thought you guys were looking for feedback. I do love SB. Just didn't flash anything in a long time & have to get acclimated again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
I now feel bad.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
No worries man. If I bricked, I would be to blame, and I'd have a stellar excuse to grab a new one early.

That's what I'M talking about! Crack some heads kid!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Since I've never actually bricked anything, I assumed once you did the phone was useless. That video describes entering recovery mode from the powered down state. I thought once bricked that was no longer doable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
I assumed by brick you meant render absolutely useless. I never did anything to render a phone absolutely useless either but, that process did rescue me at times when I didn't feel like using Odin. And what's the reason to get a new phone? Lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
You just stole my reason apparently...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
So you did brick your phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Nah, I saw his post prior to even dling it. I was fantasizing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Ohh okay lol. Well I'm glad you didn't brick your phone lol. I can't I've ever seen a bricked phone, that is rendered useless & unrecoverable phone anywhere either...

[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Haha. As you know, devs release what they can when they can. They don't ask for money for their work. What's more, updates here certainly are more frequent then any stock ROM from your mobile carrier. I'm curious as to what changes SB7 will bring as well. I love SB but, the volume on 6 didn't reach headroom & the search key has no use. I would kill to see those 2 features with 7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Man I dislike how Android says I don't have sufficient space to install/update an app, when I do. It's doing that to me on Slim 6. Guess a format is coming soon. :mad:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
No, that isn't necessary. Just stop & clear data for Google Services Framework & Playstore. Clear cache & dalvik cache in recovery. When phone finishes booting, wait a few moments then try to open Playstore. You may have to hit retry a few times but, it should connect in a little while. Then you should be able to install/update as normal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
Always on super-lurk mode as well

Good info. I've been fighting for every update as of late. I'm getting "incompatible update" with the new Gmail though...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Before we get to that, did you get the method to work? Are you now able to install/update other apps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
Now I get the error "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]" which prevents me from updating, installing, or even seeing my installed apps in Google Play. Definitely a step in the wrong direction.

Quick Google-fu says I need to try something like this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42523426&postcount=13

Haven't tried yet, but do you have any other suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Try both of those. methods we gave you. Start with mine first. Removing & re-adding your Google account may not be necessary. So try my method first then try that other method if mine doesn't work within a few minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
I started with yours, which is what caused the retrieving error. I tried the second and it seems to resolved the issues, including not downloading the Gmail update. I'm not sure if removing and re-adding was necessary, but I did it just in case and now all is well. Thanks for your help, tho.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Hmm odd. These things do seem to go either way from time to time. Sometimes what works for 15 people won't work for 20 other people. You've been on here since 2010 but, may I ask how many times you've flashed different kinds of ROMs? If you just browse through different threads, you'll see some people had their problem fixed with one method while that same method may caused even more problems for others. You're welcome. Sorry that method didn't solve your problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
I'm sort of flashoholic so I couldn't even begin to give a number. I tend to bounce around the most popular ROMs based on new releases to see if there's anything new I like, so 3 or 4 since June alone. Lately, I've been landing back at Slim consistently. I know exactly what you mean about different solutions, though. I have such a low post because I'm the poster child for the search button. Usually when I do have a problem I can't solve, I search, find several solutions, try them out till one works, profit. There's a million things that we as users can do to our individual phones along the way that can throw off a potential solution. I'm just glad there's a community here dedicated enough to run through all of the permutations and find ways around the monkey wrench.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
I like the monkey wrench analogy. Reminds me of Del tha Funkeé Homosapien (d-_-b) Time to cruise. Glad you found asylum with your ROM. Have a happy flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Nope. Didn't do jack.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Try sillywilly method. It's up a few posts. Sometimes what works for some, doesn't work for others so try that method first. His method is in a quote so his method is quoted by VitoHGrind.

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Holy crap I just realized I made a major typo. Sorry for that. What I did was clear data & stopped Google Play Services & Google Services Framework, not Google Play itself. My mistake. So do that & reboot. Then try to update & install apps from the Play Store. It may take time for it to reconnect. Hit retry a few times if the Play Store doesn't connect right away. Then everything should work fine as Google Play Services & Google Services Framework should re-truncate & re-register properly. From time to time Google updates & a ROM may not have the latest Google builds in them as they were compiled before the Google update & that's why we get the mismatch. Your ROM has old Google signatures & details but, the apps are looking for the newer updated ones.

So, to recap try clearing data & stopping Google Play Services & Google Services Framework, reboot & try to install/update apps. You may have to hit retry a few times for the Play Store to connect to the servers. See how that goes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
I am commiting a sin :angel: but here it is , Will we see V 7 (7.5)? May be still waiting for the more stabel release of v 7? :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
I sure hope so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
BTW, [MENTION=4616902]Casey Stellar[/MENTION], the steps you had given me regarding the play store ended up crippling the app. From that point forward each time I attempted to download a file, I received the infamous RPC5 error.

I said screw it and did a complete wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Well that blows. Did you have any custom kernels flashed/did you do any other mods?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
So after a LOT of screwing around, and ROM hopping, I've fixed two issues, or rather, got around two issues.

GPS issue with CoPilot:

-On boot of CoPilot, if GPS is on, CoPilot switches between "3D lock fixed" and "Searching for satellites" rapidly. Doesn't work.

--Solution: Start CoPilot with GPS off, and when it's fully booted, turn GPS on.

--Once CoPilot is stuck in this loop between "3D lock fixed" and "Searching for satellites", the app cache has to be cleared before it will work again. If you accidentally start CoPilot with GPS on, app cache has to be cleared. If the program wasn't so great, I wouldn't go through this hassle.

Bluetooth issue with OBD2 readers:

-OBD2 readers, for some reason, have a HUGE problem with 4.2.2. Will not pair. Bluetooth turns off and on intermittently.

--Solution: First pair a bluetooth headset. While bluetooth headset is paired, pair OBD2 reader. Use the code "1234" as "0000" for some reason does not work. If you do not pair a bluetooth headset first and have it currently paired to the phone (bluetooth icon is blue), this will not work. This may take a couple of attempts, but it has worked on two separate phones so far for me.

--Start up torque, make sure it functions correctly. Select the adapter in settings. Read trouble codes and check realtime data. Sometimes torque crashes with 4.2.2. Requires a reboot to fix this issue.

--Now when you start up Torque, simply have bluetooth on and it will pair when using the program.

The GPS issue I've had problems with since ICS became a thing.

I hope this helps some Dev who actually knows why these two workarounds are working. Maybe this might help fix two very old problems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
I guess DynamicN is moved on to new phone? Haven;t heard Ye or Ne...

I have question regardign changing back to Epic Modem. I tried Swap to Epic modem zip file and then Epic modem Kernel and it does not work.

I want to do this to see If Iget calls, I am not receving ant calls unless I am near Airwave. I never chagne Nexus phone pak with Nexus modem as I could not find one and then it had put it in zip etc....

P.S. I know we are gettign Sprint LTE and 800 spectrum so toers are beign upgraded. But My son has Nexus and he gets the calls thru) bad conenction and drops but phone rings). My phone does not ring and then I see missed call or VM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I'm waiting on a final code freeze for Slim 8. Did you flash an actual epic modem after flashing the kernel and the swap to epic modem zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Oh, wow moving to 8 already. thanks for the reply and keeping up. May be I did it in wrong order.

so

Kernel first then swap then modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Chat with me when you can
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Yes, and if the kernel doesn't stick the first time reboot to recovery and flash the kernel again.

Ok.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Thanks, Can someone please post link to latest tried and true kernel for both Epic modem and Nexusu modem. thanks.

I haven't tried Slim 8, but I think it's time I call off JB roms all together. Once I have my ~38 - 40 regularly used apps installed on any JB rom, I have like 3MB of RAM remaining. I guess it's back to ICS or GB for me.

This happens on Slim 5/6, Domination, Carbon, Xylon, AKOP, Beanstalk, etc JB roms. :(

[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
Gave it a fast spin, one problem I had was that I didn't have root permissions after installing, so I wasn't able to toss my normall apps back on. If no one else has that problem, then I will assume it was just me. But, from what I saw, it seemed pretty toasty.

[Epic 4G Android Development] happy_5:
Most stable ROM for my Epic 4G...

that I have tried thus far. I keep coming back to this one, as the footprint is small, and everything seems to work, including 4G.

Will give Slim 8 a spin... any problems with flashing over previous Slim?

It would be great if you could make the settings panel fully customizable (like the attached screen shot from MIUI). Also, In the notification drawer, instead of having 6 icons at the bottom, being able to move them around would make this fantastic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
I wanted to try 8.0 and dropped my phone in sink full of water. Luckily clean water, able to fish out quick and pull the battery and let it dry completely for couple of days and turned it on today and all is good. Switched back to Epic modem (from Nexus) and all is good.

Installed 8.0 on top of old 6.0. Now there is a new GAPPS for 8.0 as well on slimrom.net. I had to reboot my phone three time for it to stay on. But still locking up. I am sure this has to do with new GAPSS 8.0. I tried to find 7.0 link that was posted but I get 404 error. Can soemone psot a link to GAPPS that works with new Slim 8.0 please?

Or Do I need to do a clean install to make all work.

For now I have reverted back to Slim 6.0 with 6.0 GAPPS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
I can upload the gapps for 8.0 if you need it but the file online at slimrom.net should work.

As always, a clean install would be best.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Thanks, Link that DynamicN had was for GAPPS7 and it is not there anymore. I found GAPPS 8 on SLim ROM. I downloaded that and see the issues. Installed fine and booted fine but it will crash within few seconds.

So I asked is there a GAPSS for DynamicN created SLIMROM 8 different? Also wanted to make sure I do not have one for 4.3

This is what I downloaded from:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...load/383-addons/4515-slim-gapps-4-2-2-build-8

Like you said,I will try clean install. Thanks for the reply.

Is there any app out that can zip up all you apps and data goes with it and you can install thru recovery?

When I do clean install I have to re download titanium backup and then re-install my apps from archive with TBU.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Not sure for data or anything that puts it in a zip file. But I use MyApk every time I do a clean install.

MyApk will back up all your apps. When doing a clean install you would have to download that 1 app (MyApk) again. From there, there is a setting which will ask you to reinstall all backed up apks.

Personally, I never worry about the data. All important info is either on a server or sdcard.

EDIT: you can find myapk on the play store.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
I am on SLIM 8 now.I did clean install and all is well. Can't wait for the final 4.3 code completed by SLIMROM.NET so DynamicN can get it for us. Thank you so muchfor your work. Also then I can to try active display app.

Option for APN add-on

When trying to change/correct the MMS APN settings, there is no simple, direct way to at least access these settings.

Using the voice dialer is not an option as Google Now has broken system voice dialer, and there is no direct link from "mobile networks".

Any thoughts on manually adding/changing APNs?
