No. The best we can do for now is use workarounds or try flashing Unjustified Dev's bluetooth fix zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I say the next time you guys get asked that question, you have the right to respond with a 12 gauge shotgun.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
Thanks for the reply, I did but I still get random bluetooth reboots when streaming music. I love this rom and don't plan on leaving, just wish I could play music via bluetooth.

Not that I'm smart enough to fix it, but do we know the cause?

Thanks again
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
through what devices? There are known compatibility issues with certain devices. Once I connect, I'm gold. It's if I'm in and out of the van connecting, disconnecting over and over that I run into problems. I pair with many different things (JVC head unit, OBD II unit, headset, PC (linux and windows). and aside from the connection issues, I never have a problem once I'm in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
That's beyond on my knowledge. Unjustified Dev would know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
I have a number of devices.

A popular one would be:

Plantronics Voyager Pro HD (audio/phone)

but here is a few others:

Motorola S705 (audio/phone)

Plantronics BlackBeats 903+ (audio/phone)

Kenwood DNX9990HD (audio/phone) my truck

BT3030 (audio/phone)

Motorola Oasis (phone)

And the problem happens with all, more so when I play audio

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
A lot of people have said that because they're the same phone, running the same ROM, they should all behave similarly. Although I have no idea why that would't be true, they surely do not. Did you try the BT fix? I'm sure you said whether you did or not, I just don't remember. Could just be a problem with your hardware (phone). Sorry I'm not more help. I'm better at verifying problems rather than offering any help in actually fixing anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Has anyone tried the method for Bluetooth fix I outlined a couple of posts ago? It has worked for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
the bluetooth fix wasn't made to resolve issues with bluetooth connections and such or improve device compatibility or anything like that. it was for linaro builds where bluetooth would not turn on AT ALL. that is all. if bluetooth is toggeable in your rom the bt fix should have no known improvements.

it was before unjustified knew how to fix it during build time, he took the lib from my build which was built fine, and packaged up for the builds that didn't have it yet. I can not imagine it was meant for long term use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
I did try the Bluetoothfix.zip file, but I did not try your fix. The file mod that u talked about, is different then the .zip?

THANKS to everyone for their help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Being as my file mod does not include or mess with any libs as effsi mentioned.

It helped me with connection issues. Such as connecting to BT in truck and remembering to reconnect when I leave BT range and comeback. That's all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Yeah, the BT fix zip in Unjust's sig does not fix the problem with my OBD2 reader. Still cannot connect to the module.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I bought an OBD2 reader off Newegg for 10$ I connect to it no problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Odd. Not sure why mine won't work. Did you flash the BT fix zip, or did you go about fixing it another way?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Used the fix and that was it. In fact I JUST used it as I'm waiting for my EGR system to come back on line. Cheapy reader, so it has to be paired with each time you use it, but it always does.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Yep. Bluetooth acts crazy. It just doesn't work right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Seems v6 still activates the lock screen when I'm using the device, like it did for v5. Random activation to boot. Anyone else had this issue.

I did a clean install of v6. Even formatted all partitions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Gah! I don't understand what I'm doing wrong then! It'll start to pair the thing. I type in my four digit code like usual (0000 or 1234) and it says "pairing" then shuts off and turns back on.

Seems to not work on the other Epic I have as well. Must be a 4.2.2 thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
I'm on the Nexus modem but I just want to boot to the temp FC09 ROM to update the PRL. The ROM auto reboots the second you install it. Is there a solution to this?

I just wanted to update my PRL.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

No. It's a bluetooth issue with this ROM. I have similiar problems
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Ya know, it does that to me too. When I see BT shut down and come back up, that's when I start the torque app. IT then sees it despite it's not looking like it is. I thought mine wasn't working, but I started the app just to verify, and it was getting info, despite the BT icon looking grayed out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
Yeah I was having issues just getting phone audio to work today, just would turn off/on when I'd goto place a call.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Guess I'll have to try then. I switched over to AOKP to see if that would fix it. I'm not crazy about AOKP vs this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] simonbarsinistr:
The phone I flashed this on has the failure to automatically reconnect issue, but otherwise bluetooth is fine.

You guys with issues probably have already done the normal stuff, but I'll check anyway, have you guys wiped caches and fixed permissions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ktempleton:
Hey guys I need some testers for dirty unicorns have the build just let me know
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Cool you got it done.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ktempleton:
Yes I did I don't understand went

Why no one seems to want to flash a new ROM lol its even going to be official once I verify that it works oh well
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
maybe you should post it in General for testers ( just in case folks aren't looking in this thread ) :p

Not yet though I did get another build I haven't uploaded it for some reason it didn't put the bootimg into the zip I put it in there look in another zip and see what is in the zip should have boot img meta inf and system let me know if there are more since I don't have the device I don't have one on hand

Thanks for the reply. That's what I attributed to but I have 4 phones on my account and my GF phone works fine. She has nexus and PRL is different, we are getting LTE in this area and supposed to be done by now.

So I tried to get Wtogami's kexec to boot frorm SD to update PRL, but can not untar. Error on the file. Is there a mirror for that file or any other way doing that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Luthiensdad:
I guess the new version is out now. Any possibility of getting an unofficial port of this done for the Epic?

These guys are usually on top of the repo commits & release news for their ports.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Wait what? Port it to the Epic? Does he mean flash it to Epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
The guy I quoted meant an updated version of this unofficial port to version 7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Oh okay. Sorry for the newb question. I wanted to make sure I had the terminology down. It's been a while since I've tinkered with my phone.

I See ROMs With No Reboot To Recovery

Hello. I just flashed this ROM. I've noticed however this ROM release is missing the option to reboot to recovery for convenience. Is this ROM able to perform that task via the power menu by changing a setting or altering something? Because I'm not seeing it in the native reboot power option. There is only the option to reboot to phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Did you hold power, press reboot in the resulting power menu, THEN is says (after you select reboot) reboot, or reboot to recovery? That's what mine does, I'm pretty sure by default as I've never changed it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Wait never mind I found it in Settings>Developer options>Advanced reboot>Show always. Hope this helps others :D

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

Thanks I actually found the issue. I posted my solution. It should be above this post by the time you see this lol. I guess yours was on by default & mine wasn't. Odd. I now have to re-flash CM10.1.0 because I had the same issue with that one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Yeah, I know you did. I was answering you as you were figuring it out for yourself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Haha. Thanks. I never bothered to find out why that was doing that in other ROMs because it was too much of a hassle at the time. But, I'm glad this gives a chance to mess around with them now. I still can't get my head over why it may be on by default for some & off by default for others :confused: Machines are weird.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ktempleton:
Hey guys this boots but you have to change the boot ani and may have to DL a key board from the market this could be caused by outdated gapps but test this out for me and let me know of any bugs

[Epic 4G Android Development] ktempleton:
According to the guy who tested it every thing works he couldn't verify data except he seemed to have some trouble with blue tooth

That's cool oh ya I built this with the linaro tool chain also
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Is this a 4.2.2 based ROM? I'm assuming yes, but have to ask. Don't see why BT should be any worse than it is in Slim.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ktempleton:
It is 4.2.2 my tester said he always had trouble with BT so he might have some hardware issues going on.. I built this with the cm device and kernel trees I will be starting a thread with my next build waiting for some things to get committed any way enjoy guys and let me know how you like it I am working on a boot ani that the kernel can handle got to have that

Playstore Not Connecting To Server

Alrighty then folks the issue I'm having now is that I can't seem to connect to Playstore servers. I can't update Hangouts or install GooManager with the error codes in the attached pics. I used Build 6 ROM & Gapps from http://d-h.st/users/DynamicN Should I use the latest Gapps (for 4.2.2, 20130301) from http://goo.im/gapps as an alternative or will that cause hiccups?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Woof. That was a real pain to fix when it happened to me a couple months ago. Search it out. You have to go int like system>apps>running and clear the cache of google framework, or services? Something like that. Sorry, I forget. But I know I fixed it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Thanks. I went to Settings>Apps>All>cleared data for Google services, Google Play Store & Google Services Framework then rebooted into recovery & wiped cache & dalvik cache. Rebooted & fired up PlayStore. It took a little refreshing to get it to connect but, it finally did after a few tries. Updated Hangouts & installed GooManager :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Suddenly that doesn't sound as hard as it seems when I had to do it lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Yeah but, I hate the fact I had to do all of that lol. Gotta re-install my apps & set them up now then backup so I can install CM 10.1.0 lol.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Got error while trying to update Gmail -_- Tried uninstalling & re-installing & got incompatibility error .,. Gonna flash CM 10.1.0 & tinker with that. If anyone else has had Gmail errors & found a fix, please let me know what you did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Uninstall gmail.apk using a file manager such as the one that comes with this rom or ES File Explorer, you have to change permissions from ro (read only) to rw(read and write) after doing that delete the current version of gmail and reboot phone. You will now be able to install the newest version of gmail.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Thanks. I'll try that when I'm done setting & backing up CM 10.1.0 Can't believe Developer Options has to be manually enabled. That is just silly.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
I was actually holding out on releasing it since I wanted to try to force people to use the swapping zip I put out recently. I totally forgot to upload the rom. Uploading now for the heck of it, since it'll be replaced by the upcoming build 2 when ever we get it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Lol oh man, if this gets accepted to be officially supported, I might be tempted to use my Epic again. Currently, I'm running Slim Bean on my S3 and absolutely love it, but I miss the lack of the keyboard and nice small form factor of the Epic. I can't believe a phone this old is still better supported than 99% of the other phones out there. Remember when this phone first came out and development took a while to start up? At that time, everyone was like damn I should have bought the Evo. How times change :p Seriously, minus the improved hardware of the GS3, this phone has everything (b/c of the development community of course) .. it's why I still lurk around here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
lol here

Source Code:

Under the use of ASL SlimRoms offers their source code in Open Source spirit. You can modify, build and distribute the source and roms you built from it to your liking. We still prefer that you ask us as courtesy and give proper creid dits for it. We do not allow the use of our zipped up roms to be used and re-released as a new rom.

Lol can you give credits on goo and I wonder will they know maybe because when i applied to join their team they asked for the link to Rom I built.

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

Go go go! You should change your name to Unjustified Beast, lol. I really hope the Epic gets officially supported by Slim Roms. If the NS4G is, I don't see why the Epic shouldn't be. The Epic, in my opinion, is one of the best Android phones on the market still to this day. Its built like a fcuking tank (this thing can seriously take some drops, WITHOUT A CASE), and at this point, I whole-heartedly believe that JB out-performs GB, which is quite a claim. ICS was dead before it even started.

Right now I'm using an OG Evo 4G as an at home phablet device, but I've noticed that the Evo absolutely canNOT handle anything above GB. I don't know if its just my device, but ICS and JB runs like absolute balls on this thing. But then the Epic handles JB like it was meant for the phone. :D

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

I flashed it to boost and all the ROMs lag in my opinion.The epic is so smooth idk why the evo screen feels so different. plus all the ROMs other than GB have lots of bugs like no FFC
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
u gotta a epic flashed to boost now unjust?iv been gone for awhile and odin back to stock just now rerooted not sure how to get back to ns4g modem LF2 radio been so long lol....could i flash radio and then effsi ns4g rdy slim rom???should the radio stick>??
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
What I did when I rerooted was:

1. Flash MTD TW rom (Just to make sure I'm back on MTD)

2. Flash Epic modem CM10.1 rom

3. Flash TWRP

4. Flash Nexus Swapper > Flash NXS radio > Flash NXS kernel

5. Reboot back to make sure I'm on NXS modem

6. Flash NXS Slim kang

There might be some unnecessary steps in there, but I did all that just to be sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
rofl damn way to meny steps all i did was flash LF2 radio then effsi newest slim rom with slim gapps and that gave me radio and twrp all his roms come with twrp and it worked fine

Haha, sweet man. I know when I tried to do that I ran into all kinds of problems. But glad to hear it was just that simple for you!

what kinda problems???
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
The rom wouldn't boot properly, radio wouldn't stick, random force closes, CWM failed to make the modem stick... etc. But that was weeks ago. Everything's been smooth sailing since :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
Thank you so much. I've been wondering about that since v2 and I just figured it wasn't built in. Makes things so much easier.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Yeah it's very weird. This isn't FaceBook. Certain kinds of people come here for certain kinds of things. You'd think they'd really open up the hood & let the ponies out on these ROMs but, you'd be sadly mistaken. Things like reboot to recovery really ought to be standard across the board on all projects. I mean I never complain for free but, this is niche based activity so, on the enthusiast level, I'd like to see more advanced stock options.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Quick zip altering question. I was able to install CyanogenMod Alarms, Ntifications & Ringtones by simply taking them from cm-10.1.0-epicmtd.zip>system>media>audio>alarms folder then notifications folder then ringtones folder & dropping them in Slim-Epicmtd-4.2.2.build6.0.zip>system>media>audio>alarms folder then notifications folder then ringtones folder. I then flashed the modified zip & now I can use my preferred CyanogenMod. Pretty simple process. My question now is will that same process work with the recovery? I noticed that this Slim-Epicmtd-4.2.2.build6.0.zip uses TeamWinRecoveryProject whereas CyanogenMod uses ClockWorkModRecovery. So, what happens is their backup & restore features aren't compatible. I can't use TWRP to restore backups I made with CWMR & vice versa. So, is the file recovery.bin in the root folders the way the ROMs injects it's recovery program? If so, are they interchangeable as well? Can I take the recovery.bin file in cm-10.1.0-epicmtd.zip & place it in Slim-Epicmtd-4.2.2.build6.0.zip & Slim-Epicmtd-4.2.2.build6.0.zip will install CWMR instead of TWRP?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Well it would seem that is not possible lol.
