Alrighty then I got the PacMan ROM installed. Only now it seems a little sluggish/buggy. When installing SlimBean, should I install directly over PacMan without wiping anything or do I have to wipe cache, dalvik, factory/data restor & format /system first?

Exactly which files needs to be deleted in the Slim-4.2.2.build.1.2-epicmtd-20130309-1019-UNOFFICIAL1.zip to get rid of the bootanimation?

Yes I meant a touchscreen based CWM lol. Thanks. I'll try it out now.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2] Slim Bean-Epic 4G [Build v1.0]

U need a fresh wipe for every new rom its very recommended and if it boots no need 2 delete anything ....so witch pacman did u install?and did the stuff that didn't work b4 work on pacman?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Alright thanks. Fresh wipe every new ROM. Got it. I installed this PacMan:

epicmtd_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v20.1.0_05MAR2013-165557.zip

The issue I was having is that the screen wouldn't turn on right away. It took a couple of seconds to turn on. The capacitive keys lit up but, the screen stayed off for about 10-15 seconds. Even after toggling the power button to wake/sleep the screen, it still took some time for the screen to turn on. General navigation of the menus seemed sluggish & stuttery. It wasn't to my satisfaction so I just re-installed a CM10 experimental:

cm-10.1-20130215-EXPERIMENTAL-epicmtd.zip

Which is the ROM I was previously using & it's to my liking. CM10 is running just fine with no hiccups.

Before flashing the CM10, I tried to install SlimBean after PacMan. Ran a full cache wipe, dalvik wipe, wipe data/factory reset and mounts and storage > format /system wipe. Tried to install SlimBean untouched. With that, it hang at the SlimBean bootsplash. I then deleted the directory:

Slim-4.2.2.build.1.2-epicmtd-20130309-1019-UNOFFICIAL1.zip\system\media\bootanimaion.zip

With that, it hang at the "SAMSUNG WWW.SAMSUNGMOBILE.COM" bootsplash.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2] Slim Bean-Epic 4G [Build v1.0]

Damn what the hell lol u got me man idk that's crazy I really wanted this to work for u...when u said u tried to install slimbean untouched did u not wipe anything?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
I wiped both times, untouched & touched. Both methods left me with a bootsplash hang.

Hi Guys,

So I upgraded to this rom and for some reason I'm having issues installing apps in the market place when I'm on 4G. I keep getting this message that "package file is invalid". I cleared the cache, uninstalled updates in the market but problem still persist. Once I switch to 3G or wifi all is fine. It happens with all apps but for peoples testing purposes it just happened to me again when trying to download AdAway.

My Upgrade steps

ROM --> Gapps --> swapnexusmodem --> LF2 Modem -->Kernel

Any ideas guys? Should I go back to a epic modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] insanity213:
I had all kinds of weird market issues. I deleted Vending.apk and replaced it with this....

http://files.devphone.org/epic4g/Phonesky.apk

I ripped the new market apk off my Gnex running Slim. It's not themed inverted anymore, but it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
This ROM is epic!!!!! Had no problems installing. Came from CM 10.1 with NS4G modem. Followed Texas' instructions minus the kernel (seems I already had a compatible one installed) and voilà! I can't say enough how awesome this is. I've only messed around with it for maybe 30 min but so far everything's operating slim smooth. The touch kb is peculiar to me with all of the keys not having a long press function, but that's a personal problem along with no cLock widget (the dashboard clock works fine, though).

AHHHHHHHHH :victory: I can't control myself haha Thank you soooo much for this effsi, unjustified and everyone who helped ya'll on this! I don't think I could press the "Thanks" button enough here! (being a college student about to graduate, I don't have any real thanks like a beer to share with you but in due time I shall.)

Re: [ROM][4.2.2] Slim Bean-Epic 4G [Build v1.0]

Once again, thank you Unjust for getting this rom to us, and thank you Effsi for working your usual magic on Slim! I'm running your Slim build and will run it for a few days or so and see how the real world performance is. And to the poster above me, hardware key options are there! Just go to Settings > Interface > General > Hardware Keys. Everything is there :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] insanity213:
Options for the search key are missing... And the key itself does nothing. This ROM is great, but fixing the search and haptic/vibration functions that are missing would make it perfect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2] Slim Bean-Epic 4G [Build v1.0]

Oh snap, I didn't realize, hahaha. Maybe those functions will be added back in the new build possibly? I don't use the search key at all and I turn vibration off on every rom, so the lack of those features aren't too rough on me at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
I was referring to the keyboard not having an "!" under the "z" key and such, it's all under the "." button with a long press, hold n drag. I do know of the capacitive/hardware keys, though. I've "disabled" them to take full advantage of the navbar.

Thanks for your help, though.

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] insanity213:
I like the search key bringing me directly into google now, so I can tap a button and yell at the "computer". Makes me feel like I'm in Star Trek....

The vibrations turn me on. Also, I'm half deaf and usually don't hear the phone ringing in my pocket. Without the sexy vibrations I miss calls.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xfilemanx:
I don't see the back-kill option in the Developer Options.

I looked all over also. Am I blind or is not in there?

Never mind....I"m an idiot.....found it
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
I might have been one of the guilty ones who forgot to "Thank" for the fine work on the flashables. Thanks for making it possible. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
Thanks! but this somewhat worked for me. I am now able to download without the error but I'm missing apps. As in adaway is now missing from the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
If its any help, I had that same problem with finding apps that I should have been able to download (drop-box, ad-away, etc). For me it turned out that the problem was with the DPI setting for the play-store itself. Once I set the DPI to the default of 240 for my epic, then rebooted, cleared play store data, then rebooted again, my market registered okay and all the apps I needed were visible for download again

Hope it helps.

I'll clean up the thread and upload the new build as soon as I get back from spring break thanks everyone for your help and effsi I will add your link to the thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Can't wait to see more stable builds of this. Looks promising. Normally I wouldn't mind multi-step processes but, my spirit is currently broken. Best of luck dev. Enjoy your springs folks :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2] Slim Bean-Epic 4G [Build v1.0]

Looks like the issue atleast for adaway is that it was just removed from the market. So Far things look good by using the market from the nexus. Also if anyone is looking for adaway you can still get it through the app called Fdroid
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
It does happen with stock browser.

[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
That's ok, don't worry about the TTS. It seems to be working off and on for me so I wouldn't bother with it, I appreciate you mentioning it though! Maybe I can mess with it some more and figure it out, I use Navigation a lot so that is why I was trying to use the nice sounding "Google Search/Now" TTS voice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I was able to reproduce this and will add it to the "to do list."

If you get it working 100% let me know and I'll add it into the next release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
It's weird. I reinstalled 4 and had some of the same issues. This phone doesn't get data due to a variety of gray-area-legality things I've done to it. So for some reason the phone kept trying to use data to search for new versions. Once I disabled data, a lot of my problems disappeared.

I'm not sure what it was, but I'm better able to send texts now. I think it was the data issue. I'm stuck with 1x for texting IIRC.

And yes, I am too lazy to get 3g working on Verizon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I missed something here. Since it something to do with my phone talking to me I'll ask: Is this anything to do with navigation? I went to use it for the first time with this ROM the other day and it flipped me into the market place to get some app to make it talk, something it had never done previously. But then it kinda did talk. Does what I'm describing have anything at all to do with what you guys are talking about?
[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
Yup, turn by turn directions with street names in Google Maps (Navigation) is done through TTS (text-to-speech). If you go to your phone settings -> click on Language and Input -> scroll to very bottom and you'll see text-to-speech output. This is the TTS engine that Maps uses to read to you directions, and some other apps use it to read your texts, read you an eBook, etc. On new phones like the Nexus and GS3 (I believe) they have Google's nice TTS engine, which sounds about the same as the voice when you do a search using Google Search / Google Now, for example do a search with your voice for whats the weather, etc and hear the voice, that is how Google TTS sounds that I am trying to get working. The other voice is the Android robot sounding voice called Pico TTS, and yeah that is what you downloaded from the market. If you look in your TTS output engines you will see Pico in there. The zip I referenced in my previous post is flashable for Google TTS, and I got it to work, and when it works the voice is sweet, but I havent been able to get Navigation to use the voice 100% of the time....not sure whats up, but I'm trying to figure it out...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjames:
this rom is excellent. i have one small gripe and its not a big thing just a tiny issue with the lockscreen. at the bottom of the lockscreen it says the carrier. any way to remove that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
try using the voicedialer addon in addition to the gapps package? I suggested this to dynamic but haven't heard back.

and not sure if this is right, but I don't see unjustified in the thanks area
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
System Settings > Interface > General > Custom carrier label. After you select Custom carrier label put a single space in the dialog box that pops up and hit "OK" to save it. This will remove "Sprint" from displaying at the bottom of the lockscreen.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
I'm sure I missed this....but why can't I click on "install" for my apk sideloads? Something to do with the increased DPI? Is there a fix..or am I the only one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Wait, there's WOMEN in here?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Under System Settings > Security do you have "Uknown sources" checked?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Yes. I had to go into TWRP and "fix permissions". No idea why. Works now. Thanks for the reply though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chriswbush:
Having this weird issue of the phone not going past the slim bean boot animation, it looks like it freezes there, I tried wiping cache, dalvik and fixing permissions but it still won't boot been running the rom for about 1-2 weeks and no issues til today
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
I am not sure why but every time I use browsera nd change the page, I get "quick configuration" popup screen before goes to next page.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I had problems with the boot animation as well but I included cuz noone else mentioned they did. Deleting the boot animation will fix it.

Are you on Slim 5.0 or 4.0? I can't seem to reproduce this, what did you do exactly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chriswbush:
I wiped android secure and it booted up fine weird o. O
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Just wanted to pop my head in and say that this is still running fine for me. BT is better than it has ever been thanks to the fix (thanks unjust!). Every once in a while if I reboot (every few days my phone has way too much to think about) I'll hang on the boot animation, but a battery pull fixes that right up. Best rom ever. Thanks guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
I am on 5. I installed on the top of 4. I see mainly with xda site.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Strange. Glad it's working now.

Welcome.

I can't reproduce. Can someone confirm this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Erm...I've had complaints with Cyanogen, but at least I've never had to battery pull. :confused: That actually sounds kinda serious. Is it random?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Yup. out of 5 reboots, it happens maybe 1 time. I'll bet if I deleted the animation it would stop. I'm lazy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
What exactly does it say on the "quick configuration" pop up page when you switch tabs on the xda site? When you went from Slim 4 to Slim 5 what did you wipe or was it a dirty flash?

---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

On the next build I'm going to delete the bootanimation so that way noone has any problems at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Nothing, just that on the very top with blank black screen for a quick second and chnges teh page. I am also gettign GMAIL error as not repsponding. I wll re-installl overthe weekend and update gmail to see eaht happens. Thanks for checking and answer,
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I can't reproduce this blank black screen on the top, I would try a fresh install. Uninstalling and reinstalling should take care of the Gmail error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Here's something I've noticed: Chrome browser wont launch. If I open it the screen flickers and just goes black. I also found the new "Hangout" (Gtalk replacement app (( SUCKS btw)) does the same thing. The stock browser works fine though. If I shut the screen off and turn back on both of them are gone like I never opened them and I am free to try my luck again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
any progress on new build ? ....

That is strange, I'll see if I can find an answer. I haven't tried the new "Hangout" Gtalk replacement yet but I think I'll hold off.

Been really busy as of late with a new job. I'll build Slim 5.7 today for you guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Here's what sux about it: No inverted scheme. No direct dialing of the contact from the chat window. I use talk a lot, I uninstalled after one day of this awfulness.

Chrome just started working, so don't waste any time trying to figure it out. Probably a Google thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Just gave Slim a go and it's the most stable from what I've tried so far. My only wish would be to have the speedo battery icon that Carbon has.

My only minor gripe are that the colors are a bit saturated. It seems like everything non-white is saturated, and white is blindingly bright (ie: contacts and sms apps). Is the provided kernel Voodoo color/sound enabled? (That my be the solution to my issue.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I can try the images if I find a commit but it will mess with the source when he tries to sync new updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
COOL ! :cool: and CONGRATZ on new job :good: ( what do U do ? )
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Glad to hear Slim is stable for you. I'l look into that speedo battery icon when I get a chance. The saturated colors are most likely from the kernel I included which is Didhiy's 3.0.76 Nitest. I haven't had any saturated colors with any of his kernels but that doesn't mean others won't. In the next release I'm thinking I'm not gonna add a kernel in so it's a more solid build over all.

Thank you. Went from a hotel to a Starbucks Roasting Plant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
...meaning we will need to flash a kernel right after we flash Slim ? ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
WOW! I'll bet the smell in there is sooooo good! Any horrific tales of fingers getting ground up in the Robusto?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Most people expect a kernel to be included in roms these days. We don't really have that many kernel options from what I can see. Mostly Didhiy's nitest and stock CM10.1?

I do have a question though... Is there some backup menu or application, either on store or not, to save Slim settings? I cannot locate such a menu and I want to be able to quickly restore my existing settings for upgrades and general backup purposes. :good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Here's a question: Where is the encryption setting? I was looking to enable it, and I didn't see it in this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Thank you for this ROM. It is by far the most stable and lag free (only minor lag) of any ROM I have been on.

The only request I have is to include the original email and exchange apks. Not really a big deal since I pulled the apks from another ROM but unfortunately I need them as this is my work phone.

Over all the smoothest. The only issue I have is every time I power down, it freezes on animation. I have to goto TWRP and wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot. If that is the only issue, I can live with it. I can't live with the lag other ROMs were giving me.

Thank you, thank you soooo much!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Make sure you didn't thank me the original builder but DynamicN himself . I do appreciate if you did for my efforts toward development for the epic 4g.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
I have seen your work and appreciate everything you have done for the Epic community! Without devs like yourself we would not have a growing range of ROMs to chose from. Everything you do is outstanding and SHOULD be thanked.

Thank you DynamicN for your work as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
That is correct. Does everyone prefer a kernel with the next build or no kernel included so you guys can flash your own?

Nope no fingers in the coffee that I've seen lol. They really enforce quality.

That's why I included a kernel in my builds but was thinking it may eliminate some issues if I don't include a kernel. As for a way to save Slim settings, I'm not aware of any at this time.

Should be under Security settings.

Never heard of it freezing on powering down, it's usually the opposite lol. I'll do some research and see what I can find.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
I would suggest U include a kernel ..... then folks can switch if they want to .. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Sorry must have described the issue wrong.

If I power down then reboot, it freezes on start up animation. I have to pull battery, go into TWRP and wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot again. Boots up fine after that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Just download the Slim Aroma AIO Gapps installer from the website. It has both the stock email & exchange apps in there. You can choose what to install with the Aroma installer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
I did not know that. Thank you. As I stated earlier, I extracted the stock email and exchange apk from another rom. Installed them both and everything is fine. Still, thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I'm thinkin I'm going to include Didhiy's newest kernel.

What screen does it freeze on, the bootanimation?

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

Building Slim 5.8 now and should be done by tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Yes on boot animation. The animation with the title of ROM on it. After initial boot its fine. If you power off device and reboot, the animation freezes. Have to pull battery, wipe cache and dalvik then reboot. Once those steps are completed, the reboot works just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Any chance you can do Holo instead of Nova? I liked Holo in build 4.0 :(

Yeah yeah, I know I can just install Holo after boot, but that wastes precious system memory space!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
actually - the official Slim Team are the ones who switched ROM to Nova - so it's already in the build ... http://slimroms.net/index.php/news/311-4-2-2-build-5-wip
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
And thank God they did. Nova is the best!

Obviously clean flashing is always recommended, but will dirty flashing here retain our slim settings? Trying to avoid having to entirely reconfigure from point A again.

Not to be a pest.... But back to this whole encryption thing: I think I am looking to lock down my whole device. I have read a lot of things about how when crossing borders now it is becoming more and more common place for phones to have their entire contents pulled right off their sd cards. Wirelessly. I truly have nothing to hide, but I am a very private person who believes (and has fought to defend) the ideals of our 4th amendment. Looking at this, nothing on the market really seems to fit the bill. They'll do my email, or my texts, or specific files... But what about whole device encryption? I thought I had it all when I read that the option existed right in the security menu. Any way we can get it there?
