[MENTION=5054186]DynamicN[/MENTION] - I did follow the directions to the "T". I was on 2.4.0.0. I just switched to the latest CWM Touch to see if that would make a difference and it did "more or less" the same thing and brought me back to recovery.. So for some reason if I'm understand this correctly, it's not "auto rebooting" as you've described it should. I even ejected the phone from the PC lol (never done that, just turned off USB from the phone...) Here's what happens in CWM:

-- Installing: /sdcard/multiboot/FC09/boot_FC09.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Boot /sdcard/multiboot/FC09/zImage

Create Mount symlink.

Remount partitions read-only.

(Re)mount /sdcard read-only.

Unpack kexec.

Load zImage and initamfs.

Sync.

Reboot into zImage.

Install from sdcard complete.

And it's got the "- choose zip from sdcard, etc menu"... Do I just turn the phone off from there?

[MENTION=3735176]JurKZ[/MENTION] - Nevermind lol

I am using Slim 4 with Nexus modem and Niteset kernel for Nexus that DynamicN is gave me link for. I too can not change Mobile Network CDMA. It is set for Home Only.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
I'm starting to think it's the modem/NS4G kernel. No professional answer on that, though...

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
try swapping out the appropriate apps from the ns4g version of the rom. possibly settings.apk and phone.apk
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
I did not know such a ROM existed.. **After researching...** I've found it! Your SlimK-Nm 130313 build, correct? I do apologize for the redundancy but I'm a terrible noob and am nervous about fiddling with certain such things. I am slowly creeping out from under the rock I've been under to explore the awesome world that is developing. I do thank you very much for the "encouragement" and support.

I will try this out when I get my nose our from this crazy books I'm studying, got an exam tomorrow; tis the season haha Oh the life of a college student lol

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
no no. the one in the nexus s 4g section of the forum, if it is even at the same slim version number.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
Oh.. Phew coulda been bad. Their version is 4.2. But say I found version 4 (on slimroms.net under crespo4g), could I download that, extract the phone/settings.apk and slap 'em into DynamicN's build?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Bluetooth yayayay

Read my signature

flash through recovery
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
I was on the latest peoples rom and I wiped data and system. Ill probably do another wipe tomorrow and try again as for some reason I can no longer boot to twrp.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Does it work with nexus modem and kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
It should work perfectly
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Well, while I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about, I wanted to submit my report for day 3: I don't know how you got BT to work so much better than other 4.2 ROM's, but you did. It takes it a few seconds to figure out what it wants to do. But it does it. 3rd day and it's running great. Nice and smooth, none of the issues I had on the first day have recurred. Great battery. I literally love everything about this. Thanks guys. If it will help, I can install Netflix and let you know if I have any trouble. I run stock everything. Never got into tweaking kernels and modems and want not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Thank you Effsi and Unjust for helping me answer questions:highfive: I've been really busy as of late.

Correct, it should auto-reboot. How are you transfering the Multiboot folder from your pc to your phone? I'm going to redownload the .tar.xz and go through the steps myself within the next couple days and write up a tutorial.

Did it work fine on the latest TPR rom? What does it boot to if it's no longer booting into to twrp?

Glad it's running buttery smooth for you:victory: If you could download Netflix and check to see if you have any stuttering trouble I'd really appreciate it:highfive:
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
Yes it worked fine on TPR but I'm sure you already know TPR is gingerbread. Can't get into to recovery at all. When I try the phone locks up. Once I get to work I'm going to go back to stock and start over and get back to slim bean.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
I've been transferring it through an "Ecomoto VCast" USB cable.. I suppose I could plug in my SD adapter and transfer it directly to the card though that. But yea, no auto-reboot for this cat at the moment; it just says some form of "success" and leaves me in recovery.

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
After you go back to stock and start fresh if it still stutters try going to performance settings and change the governor to Ondemand and overclock it to 1.2 ghz

Try transfering it directly through the SD adapter and report back please.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
Everything is fresh and new but stutter is still occurring. I thought for a second it was working fine. But stutter still happens with all stock and with the performance tweak.

Note: The only change I made was I changed the memory management of zRam and kernel samepage to enabled and defaults. I thought that could be causing the issue so I changed it back to the original configuration and restarted again but stutter of the video still happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
No dice. Keeps me in recovery.

I really do apologize for all of this nonsense, I suppose this should be in another thread.

EDIT - I flashed cm10.1 experimental 0215 and newest gapps after wiping everything (all 4 buttons in TWPR) and multiboot worked flawlessly the first time thus updating my Profile and PRL to 60796.

Going to now try to edit DynamicN's v4 build with the NS4G's v4 build phone/settings.apk's to see if I can get a basically fully operational (in my head) NS4G version for my Epic.. Woooo!!!

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Honestly I'm not too sure. The only other things I could think is do you have a strong data connection while using Netflix and how old is your battery? Has it worked with no stutter on any other ICS or JB roms?

I'm glad you got it working, that's strange that twrp won't allow the fc09 utility to auto reboot:confused: What version of twrp are you on, 2.4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
So far no stutter. Watched about 15 minutes of.... Something. Not a single hitch. I'm going to just let it run. As I typed this I got an email. It didn't like that but it was a SLIGHT hitch. Oh and I should add this experiment was conducted while connected to wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
I'm willing to bet it wasn't the recovery.. Because I tried it with CWM Touch too... It was the one that came with Slim: 2.4. It had to be something else, though I have no true way of pinpointing it.

Am attempting to flash my girl's Revolution, so I haven't had the chance to get back on Slim, still on CM 10.1 Experimental lol

[MENTION=4599946]AuGmENTor[/MENTION] have you had the chance to check out Unjustified's BT fix? I know you've been wanting that one for awhile.

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Thank you for testing and noting you are on wifi:highfive:

If it's not the recovery and to my knowledge it's not the rom then it must be the kernel that I included. I'm thinking for the next Slim build I may go with a cm kernel or no kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
No! I must have missed it. Is it in the OP or a couple pages back? But I have to say it really has been behaving for 2 days now. It takes it a good 45 seconds to connect, but it does, which is more than I can say for CM10.1. But I'll apply it if it's going to restore it to what it was with the 4.1 ROMS. Thanks man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Unjust's bluetooth fix for our Epic

http://d-h.st/PNh
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
You guys all rule the world man. Thanks so much.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
I always thought that was Tears for Fear ... :p :laugh:
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Noooo. Everybody WANTS to! Way to date yourself sir! It's ok though, I'm an oldie too. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
:laugh: LOL :laugh: ... Hey ! Who U calling an oldie :eek: ... ( that's when music was music :cool: )
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Slow down. What kind of Texan are you that you think that's music? I thought all you guys listened to was the Alman Brothers. I guess not all stereotypes are accurate lol.

K sorry for derailment. I'll behave now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
This got my attention, as you know my battery woes. :laugh: So since you've tested it, I have two questions:

1) Are the app icons smaller, and if so, is there an option to make then "normal" sized?

2) Would I have to flash a carrier data fix like I did for CM10? I know I had to for Black Bean (I uninstalled it and didn't notice the dev's flashable fix until way after the fact).

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

I tried this last night, my bluetooth problems stayed exactly the same.. :confused: I'm thinking it might work with another ROM, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Yes, everything on Slim Bean is smaller by default but it can be changed real easy. Change the DPI by going to System settings > Interface > General > LCD density. By default it is set to 182, stock on most phone is 240. 213 is a nice size for some people but play around with it and see what you like. It is advised that you follow all the steps after changing the LCD density to what you like. The steps I am refering to are the reboot and clearing all relevant market data. As for the data carrier fix I honestly don't know because I am not on Cricket. Is anyone that's on Slim 4.0 on Cricket? If so, did you have to flash any carrier fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Okay, thanks. I'm wondering if the great battery life and the smaller icons are connected, and if so, by me changing them to "normal" size I'll have the same battery problems? :confused: Well one way to find out. :D

lol I guess I'm one of the few folks around on Cricket.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
isn't there a Cricket-fix thread ? ( sorry - I'm not on Cricket either ) :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
For MMS. There seems to be a catch-all fix for that no matter what ROM you're on. But when it comes to *data*, looks like there has to be a fix tailored specifically to the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Changing the size of icons won't have a noticable effect on battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Oh neat. Well I can't wait to try it out this weekend then. I hope there's a boot animation of a skinny bean dancing or something. Anyway, thanks for answering. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
You're welcome. There is a boot animation but not of a dancing bean lol. I added a bootani that I think is cool but let me know what you think. Make sure you use Slim Gapps 4.0 and not regular Gapps for best results. I have Slim 4.0 Gapps on my dev host, just follow the link in my sig:)

As always if you encounter any bugs or have any questions let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
I wonder... Well, I successfully modded your v4 build with NS4G's v4 phone/setting.apk's and I can now "auto roam" and change the tones in apps lol Thank you very much Effsi for that tidbit!

Runnin' effsi's 0308 nm kernel (hoping for an update hehe) Otherwise I feel like a boss when I hold my phone hahaha I really appreciate all of your help and the things ya'll are doing for our phones! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out!

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Thanks, but what about my data flash question? Since I'm with Cricket as my carrier seems I need a special flashable zip so my phone can receive data services. I know I don't need them on ROMs similar to Gingerbread (Legacy, for instance), but for Jelly Bean-types, yeah.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Its in the development section a zip to fix MMS and data on cricket.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25991448

Had no idea cornaljoe made that lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
I was on wifi when the stutter happens. I will try another JB rom and let you know. I went back to to ginger bread and using the latest legacy rom and no stutter occurs. Maybe it's my battery I have 2 batteries but they are both from 2010 can the age of the battery affect the performance on the phone? I thought that it will just drain faster.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Thank you for pointing that out:highfive:

The age of a battery can definitely effect phone performance if the battery can't hold a steady voltage. I'm not saying that's the culprit but it's a definite possibilty.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Sorry, I was in hell yesterday and didn't get a chance to see this.... Which happens to have been for the best because you've obviously confused me for someone with a brain. (Doubt it? Here, I'll prove it).

What's Cricket? I could Google it and hunt around, but you guys all seem to know so what sense does that make?
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
It's a carrier like Sprint, or Verizon. (I'm rollin' on the floor lookin' at this one hahaha) No worries though homie, it happens to the best of us! :laugh:

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
lol ok

Cheapo no contract wireless company. I believe its called Metro PCS in other places. You pay a month in advance, and when your due date comes and you don't pay, you get a grace period of a day or two. Then you lose voice and data (not text, though) for a month, then your number is given away and your account gone. But you can go in the next day and get a brand new account and number.

Erm...so I've heard. :angel:

But yeah, they have roaming agreements with Sprint and other lesser cell phone towers, since they don't have their own towers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
:laugh: ... LOL ... :laugh: ... not that you would actually know from personal experience ... ;) ... LOL :laugh:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Cricket is a cheap dirty low down company that throttles your data you have to pay for a smartphone at least $50 per month for 1gb of data then your down to 10kb/s speeds. I flashed mine to cricket when i first got it and cornaljoe's fix hasnt disappointed me on my phone or any customers phones.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
My Sprint account costs me soooo much money a month. And the service? Let me put it this way: I live about an hour north of New York City. I have never connected to the 4G network at home. In the city I get it. A Verizon customer sitting next to me at the diner upstate has full bars and a solid 4G connection. I'm roaming with 1 bar and no data. 1 year left and I think they have to go. I hate to do it. I have unlimited data,and I have been with them for over 10 years. But what good does it do me to have unlimited data if I can never GET to it?

Hey ROM related question: Why does my wifi keep dropping out? I checked all the setting and have connect auto and all the things that should be checked... But after the phone goes to sleep when turned back on, the wifi is off. When I go to system settings, it says's it's disabled. Turns right back on, but annoying nonetheless.
[Epic 4G Android Development] GalaxyBlaze7438:
I was using AOCP and i was gettin incredible battery life like 12-13 hours was wondering how good this is on the battery and overall solid performance any one have any comments
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Try it yourself. Everyone's setup is unique. From battery age & mAh, to apps and widgets used, and lastly to your usage & coverage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
When on the wifi screen go to Advanced and under "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" what is it set to?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
LOL

Oh puh-LEEZE! I checked that immediately as I remember people always having issues with it. I did just uncheck wifi optimization. Minimize battery usage when wifi is on. Maybe that'll fix it. What's odd is how it says it's disabled. That makes no sense to me. I'll check back in later to update whether of not the thing I unchecked had any effect. Thanks man.

---------- Post added at 07:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 AM ----------

Performance is as solid as any other ROM out there. As good as it gets in other words. As far as battery goes: That is such a huge variable depending on how strong your cell connection is, how much time you spend staring at the screen, etc etc. But I'll give you my two scenarios. Yesterday it started the day fully charged. maybe a dozen texts, two short phone calls and not really much else. End of the day it was @ 77%.

Friday it started the day fully charged. It ran MP3's all day. Did a half dozen phone calls averaging 3 minutes each, and ran gtalk (or gchat or whatever it is called) all day and texted 30 or 40 times. Had to swap the battery at about 430. That's running relatively new and healthy 1800mah batteries. Your experience may vary. But if you're asking if this is good enough to be a daily? Absolutely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Lol, have to ask to rule out different things. I didn't touch or modify any files pertaining to wifi or display of wifi. I will see if I can duplicate this issue today while I'm at work since there's wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
Hold down on the wifi connection name, "modify network", and check the "auto connect". I had a similar issue when I recently flashed slim.

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Yeah it was the optimize thing man. Unchecked that and the problem went away. Thank you.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

That and the sleep things were the first things I checked. Thanks though!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Glad things are working now:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zappa_Zapper:
Hey guys im loving this rom. I have noticed my phone has a serious case of the random restarts when i was on 3.4 I did a full wipe and flashed 4.0 still getting random restarts. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Only to tell you that in almost 2 weeks I haven't had a single one. Did you follow the advice? (Wipe everything?) factory reset?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
How old is your battery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
This sounds like a possible old battery. If there isn't enough power constantly going to the phone, it will reboot or shutoff entirely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
I tried another JB rom super nexus and the stutter in Netflix is no longer occurring. Thanks for the battery info. Time to shop for a new battery... Id suspect 3 years the battery needs to be changed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Nice one of my ROMs
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zappa_Zapper:
Thanks for the input guys. When i flashed I did a full wipe. It could be the battery I think one of the few that I use is a couple years old now ill switch to another one and see if that fixes it. If not maybe ill do a full wipe and reflash. Its weird cause it never happens when im using the phone but if I have it set on the table I will notice its on the boot splash screen every now and then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Yea guys/gals, we all have reached an odd time in our device timeline where our batteries have most likely reached their lifespan limit. Unless you are undervolting, chances are good that you may need to test with a newer battery.

If the phone doesn't have a constant voltage supplied, it will definitely reboot randomly or just shut off entirely. It will also lead to strange behavior when using the phone, especially if it is power intensive/sensitive event.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Agree completely. Had this demonstrated for me when my original cropped out a few months ago. I haven't had a restart since. Hard to believe anyone could still be on original when OEM 1800mah replacements are so plentiful and inexpensive!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
My battery wouldn't even hold up for a full day a few months ago and had weird screen flicker issues once or twice myself. Got a new oem 1800mah one and all the problems went away and I can easily get a whole day out of it with atleast 4 to 5 hours screen on time now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sidgallup:
I'm already rooted and on a FC09 deodexed stock ROM, should i just download this ROM, boor into recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash ROM and gapps, reboot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Yes, download the rom Slim 4.0 and the Slim Gapps 4.0 on my dev host in my sig. Then go into recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system.

After wiping all four, flash Slim 4.0 rom and Slim Gapps 4.0 and enjoy:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
I had a few random reboots as well. I haven't had that on any other ROM, but it does tend to happen when multitasking, so it could be battery. The first happened at 3AM when I randomly woke up and looked at my phone just in time to see it reboot. Maybe I heard my phone crying for more power? For the most part my battery life is great on this ROM, though.

A big issue I've been having is the touch keyboard. For some reason, now I have to tap in a text entry box several times to get the KB to show up. On first tap, it stutters like it wants to open the KB, but never does until about the fourth tap (including pauses between taps). Any thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
What keyboard are you using? I'm on SwiftKey 3, and I do occasionally have that problem. What I mostly notice is a decent size lag when I go to use it (like for instance when I answered this post) but I should note that I get the same lag even with the physical keyboard as well. One thing that kind of cleared it up was an app to keep ram in check. Left to its own devices, my phone gets very thoughtful, and usually only has about 35 megs of ram left for the things I like to do. I notice less lag when I keep it forced @ at least 75. Just my 2 cents!
[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
Just the stock Android KB. It could possibly be a RAM issue as it only started to happen once I had installed several programs and there were more services running. What program did you use to keep ram in check?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I included Didhiy's JB Bigmem patch in Slim 4.0 which gives you around 150 to 200 mb of free ram so you guys must be runnin a lot of apps lol. It does sound like a ram issue and to be fair our device does have a limitied amount of ram.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
Just checked right now and it's sitting between 75 and 80MB basically at idle. Granted, 30MB is the setting screen itself. I try to not have too much running in the bg (I still haven't set up FB to sync) but I guess some things are unavoidable. By doing nothing other than talking about it, my TTKB count (Taps Till Keyboard) has gone down from 4 to 2, so I guess that's improvement...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
A thousand pardons: Since flashing this ROM, I haven't needed a ram manager. I idle @ about 80 megs free. If you're getting less than that as a regular thing, you should probably look at that and stop trying to calculate a mars mission with a 2 year old phone.

Just another thing about this ROM that crushes CM10!
[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
But Kerbal Space runs so well on an A8!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I knew someone would like the bigmem patch being included. I'll make sure to include it in all future builds.
