Looks like I'll be getting the S4 Thursday night at Bestbuy mobile. I have to pay Sprint $100 to get early upgrade, but I think that still will be cheaper than waiting. They ordered me another e4gt, but will give a $50 trade in, so I'd basically be buying the s4 for only $50. I may just keep it though for old time memories sake. $100 is still a great bargain for the s4. I originally planned on the note 3, but I have the tab3 and there are developers working on stuff for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btoddweber:
I'd love to take advantage of that...but alas I can't upgrade till Jan

Running 3.7 and it's unbreakable!

I have seen a couple of comments here and there mentioning having problems flashing Missing Link, so I had to get on the same playing field. Flashed Project x v3.7 Killer Blue yesterday and have been trying to get a bootloop or error anything. I have flashed Missing Link with at least 19-20 of the mods checked 11 times so far with no problems whatsoever! I now declare v3.7 "Unbreakable" Thank you for the incredible ROM and hard work!

I have had only 1 issue. I see a lot of good comments about battery consumption, but not mine! Since first flashing battery life has drastically dropped! Even when I'm not using it. When I check battery option in settings it says the killer is "Media" not screen as usual? Suggestions?

Also keep visiting my Missing Link tread for updates and updates to previews in the OP. Thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
You should.have greenify running and also do the battery soon test. If you are using RTB, then check auto start to see what is running. Better battery stats is also good from what I have heard. Thanks for the superman zip.

3.7 is awesome ! Reminding myself to donate getting paid in the wee hours tonight. It seems that the minfree values from a killjoy script jive a Lil better battery wise. Will it negate or diminish anything by changing? Not trying to adversely affect the wonderful art that is Project X. :thumbup:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Man, I've been reading the forums for the S4, and it looks they have many more issues on their roms than this phone, mainly data. I'm kind of afraid to upgrade now. Ryan, have you heard anything about what roms are the most stable?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Nope, sorry I haven't even been to the S4 forums in a long time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Oddly enough, I was thinking about going to the S4 and haven't had a chance to search the forums. I don't need probs. I may just stay with this phone. Better community also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Hard to pass up a free S4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
Thumbs up to that! I have been thinking of upgrading to a more powerful phone myself, but i have my phone so dialed in just haven't really found the need for it. Thanks to all the great people that keep this phone alive!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pacorocko:
Love this ROM. Just came onboard with 3.7. No issues, just one dilemma...

Love GTalk. Hate Hangouts.

Unfortunately, im having no success trying to downgrade back to a fully functional Talk. Ive installed it and uninstalled Hangouts and get it to work and message just fine. But video calls FC every time. I was on JV prior to this and had the exact same issue when going from 3.0 to 4.0. Never found a fix there either. Any suggestions? It seems to have something to do with Hangouts being preloaded I think. But obviously, I'm no expert.

Help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Get on a PC (use 7zip or something similar... Windows File Explorer works in this case). Unzip (extract) the ROM, delete HangOuts from preload/symlink/system/app, add in your Talk apk, rezip everything (highlight system, data, preload etc... Everything there, right click then hit Compress). Wipe preload in Mounts & Storage in recovery. Flash your new ROM. Everything should be the same except you will have Talk instead of HangOuts. Make sure you completely remove HangOuts first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCompMan:
Just one more note: Make sure you make a NANDROID FIRST. Just in case something goes wrong ( whatever it could be ), you can always go back to a working copy, and restart from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pacorocko:
Thanks for the advice. I went ahead and removed Hangouts and added Talk. I went a step further and did a JB x2 Format again and did a completely clean install to make sure I got rid of everything. When I booted up for the first time, Talk was there and opened just fine. Unfortunately, the video calling is still giving me the same issue. FC.

I'm pretty sure it hates me. That's why the video camera icon is there. It teases me. It makes me think it's gonna work. So I click on it... Then BAM!. FC and an evil cackle from the folks at Mountain View. Ugh.

Any other ideas? Anywhere else a component could be lingering or missing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
There is a lib missing. The Talk apk you have, was it part of a zip package? If so look to see if there is something in system/lib. When I get off work I'll see if I can find an old GApps package.

There are a couple of Inverted Gtalk zips out there, including nitroglycerin, camblue, TBO (you have to go to one of their older closed threads), a few others. Just Google the words "rootzwiki inverted Gtalk," or swap xda for rootzwiki, and look for something with a July dating. Most of these lose their invert, but they work.

S4 which is free

LG G2 which is 49.99

HTC One which is 29.99

1. LG G2

2. HTC One

2. S4

More customs roms as of now is the HTC One....and has been pushing out updates fastest than the S4 (hard to believe)

Can't go wrong with either of the three phones tho:thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
which one is the best in your opinion?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
G2 is the only one of those 3 with triband LTE
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Is that the one you'd get Ry? I just checked the development page, and there aren't any custom roms at all yet. We just got twrp on the tab3, but still no roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
I honestly can't say. I'd be happy with any one of those lol. I'd be researching my butt off tho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
That's what I'm trying to do. I already paid $100 to I get out of contract early, so there isn't any going back now. I was afraid if I waited until 1/1/14, that the prices would all be high again for these phones. I have to decide by tomorrow night, but I'm still leaning towards the S4. From what I have found researching it is that I have to make sure I don't let the 4.3 ota install because of the knox bootloader. My friend is the manager of bestbuy mobile, so I'll look at the phone first to make sure it's not already installed. I wish you were upgrading too, btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
All you gotta do is buy me one hahaha:rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
It's free. Go get you one! You could be the #1 developer for it like the e4gt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KSTwitch:
Cleaned flashed from a stock rooted ROM. Now up and running!! I thought it was going to be laggy and slow at first. But after going back to the OP and reading it for 20th time I made note of step number 5.[Let ROM boot fully and settle for a couple of minutes during the initial boot. (It will take around 10 minutes)] I installed Helium and restored my apps, rebooted and this ROM is fast! Nice work bilgerryan!! :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
LG G2 is overall the better phone and Tri band LTE but hardly any development

The HTC one and the S4 is just about pair....S4 has a better Camera and the HTC One has way better audio/speakers....Touchwiz vs Sense.....touchwiz is heavy which you will encounter some lag....the new Sense 5 is light and way better than Sense use to be..

Development part....HTC one is edging out the S4 with custom roms and updates

It all up to you what you use the phone for most...and what phone will most meet your needs for what you want to do :thumbup:

I had both the S4 and HTC one which I have now...both are great phones.....

Choose well, young grasshopper:p

I know, I can't afford a contract right now so I won't be upgrading, I'm just saying that's what I want. But as the Rolling Stones say "You can't always get what you want".

No I switched to the S4 not long after......

hey fellas!, just wanted to let you guys know, ive moved to the Note 3 (from sprint) it is a monster with a 2.3 ghz quad-core, and 3gb of ram. 32gb of storage. i owned the HTC One Max, briefly (loved the Audio!!!!) and loved the sence 5 (cut way down on the bloat ware) but it is specd the same exact way as the One.. note 3 had more ram, better processor, LED screen, as opposed to the LCD of the one (much brighter, and better colors) the one max was also a GOLIATH phone at over 6" tall and 4+ inches wide, The battery was another issue, the one max had a "built in" battery (non removable) which seemed odd, as i know how many times ive had to pull the battery on the Epic. lol note 3 has a removable 3100 mah battery.

Now the one had a neat little feature, a fingerprint scanner, (swipe version, which you have to slide your finger) which besides unlocking the phone, which will get tedious after a while, due to A. the awkward placement (just under the rear camera) and the way you have to hold the phone to do so. B. thats all it really does, you can swipe and open an app, kinda like gesture control. The one Maxs camera looked nice, but was only a 4mp i do believe, the note 3 had 8 or 13. cant remember, but it was a better camera. The One Max was at my very borderline of phone size for me.

all in all, i love the Note3 's power, and the screen is bright and beautiful, Camera is awesome.

BUT...

I prefer, Sense 5 (anything older was too bloated) as opposed to TW (all day long) the Blink feed widget was an awesome feature aswell, (Max)

I also prefer the One Max for sheer audio quality and performance, (Boom Audio i believe its called) the note seems to have the same speaker for the last 6-7 phones..

There is also 0 development for the Sprint One Max (as of last week)

I'm actually quite torn....

I returned the Max for the note, and have found how i missed the sense, and the Blink feed so much ive looked for comparable apps, (very few , and none as well laid out and functioning like the original. I find myself second guessing my second guess.... lol Its a toss up for me, sorry for wasting the space on your thread Ryan, just wanted to share.

BTW

If you Root the One Max, the fingerprint scanner does not work (as of now)

How much still remains to be seen, but I'm planning on upgrading just before the S5 is released.
